Always honestHonesty is important to keep a relationship alive.A true friend always tells you the truth.It may be hard sometimes but lying can destroy a friendship.It is important thatyour friend speaks honestly and never makes up stories.Always listeningThere are always periods in your life when you have problems or difficulties.A true friend will always have time to listen to your problems and give you advice.It may not be able to offer a solution to your problems but the fact that your friend makes time to listen is a sign he/she cares for you.Your friend is not a true friend if he/she can never make time for you when you are in trouble.You also need to be reasonable and accept that your friend also has other things to do so he/she can't always listen immediately to your problems.Always respectful(尊敬的)A true friend will always respect your opinion no matter whether he/she agrees or not.Your true friend may disagree but never insists that he/she is correct.Always understandingIt is possible that some problems will arise between you and your friend.A true friend will always be forgiving (体谅的)and understanding，even if it isn't his/her fault.We are all different people and we all make mistakes.A true friend is always forgiving and understanding because he/she doesn't want to take the risk of losing his/her best friend. 5．What's the best title for the third paragraph?A．Remember your important days.B．Always there for you.C．Keep your secrets.D．Always happy for you.6．Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage?A．Paying attention to a friend's opinion.B．Never tell lies to friends.C．Making time for friends.D．Sharing fun with friends.7．What's the author's purpose of writing this passage?A．To tell us how to find out if a friend is a true friend.B．To teach us how to make true friends.C．To find out how long a friendship can last.D．To introduce his experience in making friends.CEnglish has surely become the global language.Whenever we turn on the news to find out what's happening in East Asia，or Africa，or anywhere，people are being interviewed and telling us about it in English.If people look at the facts about the amazing reach of the English language，many would be surprised.English is used in over 90 countries as an official or semi－official language.English is the working language of many international institutes(研究所)as well as of most international research scientists.It is also the language that Indian parents and black parents wish their children to learn.It is believed that over one billion people worldwide are now learning English.One of the most important causes of the spread of English around the world is that Europeans are willing to accept it as their language.English is spreading from northernEurope to the south and is now the second language in countries such as Sweden，Norway，Netherlands and Denmark.If one visits any of them，it would seem that almost everyone there can talk in English.Recently，a report said that at the beginning of 2001，English was the most widely known foreign language with 43% of Europeans saying they spoke it.The report also said that with over 89% of the population speaking English，Sweden now has the highest percentage of English speakers.What's more，English is the language rated as most useful to know，and over 77% of Europeans who do not speak English as their first language consider it useful.8．By writing this passage，the writer mainly wants to tell us ________．A．something about the English－speaking countries2-1-c-n-j-yB．why so many people speak English around the worldC．that English has become a language spoken all over the worldD．about the development of English in Europe9．The writer mentions all of the following EXCEPT ________．A．America B．AsiaC．Europe D．Africa10．What does the underlined word“rated”in the last paragraph mean?A．Argued.

The next week，my mom gave me some money to buy some wax (蜡) to make more candles.They sold out really quickly，too.Nine months later，we decided to stop selling flowers.My mom and I couldn't make enough candles during the week，so some of my school friends started to help us.I paid them one pound for every candle，and we used to sell them for three or four times that.It was fun and my friends worked with me in the market.When I was 22，my uncle lent me some money and I opened my first shop on Portobello Road.Since then，I've never looked back，even in difficult times.At the first store，we only sold candles，but now we sell everything from designer furniture (定制家具) to paintings.12．The sentence “I began to give my mom a hand” means “________”．A．I began to get along better with my momB．I began to give my mom some giftsC．I began to help my mom sell flowersD．I began to wash my hands before working13．The right order of the following things is ________．a．The writer's mom stopped selling flowers.b．The writer went to the market with some candles.c．The writer bought candles from her friends and sold them well.d．The writer's mom fell ill.e．The writer's candles sold well.A．dbeac B．bdeacC．bedac D．adbec14．Kyra's uncle helped her open a shop by ________ when she was 22.A．working together with herB．buying her a shopC．teaching her basic skillsD．lending her some money15．From the passage you can learn that you should ________．A．hold on to your dreams and never give upB．spend all your free time on developing your interestsC．have your own idea and work hard to make it succeedD．get as much support as you can from your familyⅡ.阅读填句(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

system of bridges and canals．Here are some of the key points to remember as you plan your trip to Amsterdam．Must-See AttractionsMost visitors begin their Amsterdam adventure in the Old Centre，which is full of traditional architecture，shopping centers and coffee shops．Don't miss the Dam Square and the areas around Spui and Nieuwmarkt．You'll also want to check out Amsterdam's Museum Quarter in the South District，which is great for shopping at the Albert Cuyp Market and having a picnic in the Vondelpark．TransportationTravelers should be aware that Amsterdam Airport Schiphol is one of the busiest airports in the world．You can catch a train from Schiphol to Amsterdam Central Station，which has many connecting routes．Cycling is very popular here，and it's easy to find cheap bike rentals around

A travel webpage．B. A business report．C. A research paper．D. A geography textbook．BJim suffered heart problems．In conversation he expressed little joy and it seemed that his life was drawing to a close．When his heart problems led to operation，Jim went through it successfully，and a full recovery was expected．Within days，however，his heart was not beating properly．Jim was rushed back to operation，but nothing was found to explain the cause of his illness．He died on the operating table on the day before his 48th birthday．Dr．Bruce Smoller，a psychologist，had had many conversations with him，and the more he learned，the stranger he realized Jim's case was．When Jim was a child，his father，a teacher，suffered a heart attack and stayed home to recover．One morning Jim asked his father to look over his homework，promising to come home from school at noon to pick it up．His father agreed，but when Jim returned his father had died．Jim's father was 48．"I think all his life Jim believed he killed his father，" Dr．Smoller says．"He felt that if he had not asked him to look at his homework，his father would have lived．Jim had been troubled by the idea．The operation was the trial he had expected for forty years．" Smoller believes that Jim willed himself not to live to the age of 48．Jim's case shows the powerful role that attitude plays in physical health，and that childhood experiences produce far-reaching effects on the health of grown-ups．Although most cases are less direct than Jim's，studies show that childhood events，besides genes，may well cause such midlife diseases as cancer，heart disease and mental illness．31.Jim was sent back to operation because ______ ．A. his heart did't work wellB. he expected a full recoveryC. his life was drawing to a closeD. the first one wasn't well performed32.What made Dr．Smoller feel strange about Jim's case？______A.

Jim's death is closely connected with his father's．33.From Smoller's words，we can infer that ______ ．A. Jim's father cared little about his studyB. Smoller agreed that Jim did kill his fatherC. Jim thought he would be punished some dayD. Smoller believed Jim wouldn't live to the age of 4834.Which of the following could have strong effects on one's physical health according to thetext？______a．One's genes．b．One's life in childhood．c．One's physical education．d．The date of one's birthday．e．The opinions one has about something．A. a，b，dB. a，b，eC. a，c，eD. b，c，dCIn ancient Egypt，the pharaoh （法老）treated the poor message runner like a prince when he arrived at the palace，if he brought good news．However，if the exhausted runner had the misfortune to bring the pharaoh unhappy news，his head was cut off．Shades of that spirit spread over today's conversations．Once a friend and I packed up some peanut butter and sandwiches for an outing．As we walked light-heartedly out of the door，picnic basket in hand，a smiling neighbor looked up at the sky and said，"Oh，boy，bad day for a picnic．The weatherman says it's going to rain．" I wanted to strike him on the face with the peanut butter and sandwiches．Not for his stupid weather report，for his smile．Several months ago I was racing to catch a bus．As I breathlessly put my handful of cash across the Greyhound counter，the sales agent said with a broad smile，"Oh，that bus left five minutes ago．" Dreams of head-cutting!It's not the news that makes someone angry．It's the unsympathetic attitude with which it's delivered．Everyone must give bad news from time to time，and big winners do it with the proper attitude．A doctor advising a patient that she needs an operation does it in a caring way．A boss informing an employee he didn't get the job takes on a sympathetic tone．Big winners know，when delivering any bad news，they should share the feeling of the receiver．Unfortunately，many people are not aware of this．When you're tired from a long flight，has a hotel clerk cheerfully said that your room isn't ready yet？When you had your heart set on the toast beef，has your waiter merrily told you that he just served the last piece？It makes you as traveler or diner want to land your fist （拳头）right on their unsympathetic faces．Had my neighbor told me of the upcoming rainstorm with sympathy，I would have appreciated his warning．Had the Greyhound salesclerk sympathetically informed me that my bus had already left，I probably would have said，"Oh，that's all right．I'll catch the next one．" Big winners，when they bear bad news，deliver bombs with the emotion the bombarded （被轰炸的）person is sure to have．35.In the writer's opinion，his neighbor was ______ ．A. friendlyB. warm-heartedC. not considerateD. not helpful36.From Paragraph 3，we learn that the writer ______ ．A. was mad at the sales agentB. was reminded of the cruel pharaohC. wished that the sales agent would have had dreamsD. dreamed of cutting the sales agent's head that night37.What is the main idea of the text？______A. Delivering bad news properly is important in communication．B. Helping others sincerely is the key to business success．C. Receiving bad news requires great courage．D. Learning ancient traditions can be useful．DMany leading AI researchers think that in a matter of decades，artificial intelligence will be able to do not merely some of our jobs，but all of our jobs，forever transforming life on Earth．The reason why many regard this as science fiction is that we've traditionally thought of intelligence as something mysterious that can only exist in biological organisms，especially humans．But such an idea is unscientific．From my point of view as a physicist and AI researcher，intelligence is simply a certain kind of information-processing performed by elementary particles （基本粒子）moving around，and there is no law of physics that says one can't build machines more intelligent than us in all ways．This suggests that we've only seen the tip of the intelligence iceberg and that there is an amazing potential to unlock the full intelligence that is potential in nature and use it to help humanity．If we get it right，the upside is huge．Since everything we love about civilization is the product of intelligence，amplifying （扩大）our own intelligence with AI has the potential to solve tomorrow's toughest problems．For example，why risk our loved ones dying in traffic accidents that self-driving cars could prevent or dying of cancers that AI might help us find cures for？Why not increase productivity through automation （自动化）and use AI to accelerate our research and development of affordable sustainable （可持续的）energy？I'm optimistic that we can develop rapidly with advanced AI as long as we win the race between the growing power of our technology and the knowledge with which we manage it．But this requires giving up our outdated concept of learning form mistakes．That helped us win the race with less powerful technology：We messed up with fire and then invented fire extinguishers （灭火器），and we messed up with cars and then invented seat belts．However，it's an awful idea for more powerful technologies，such as nuclear weapons or superintelligent AI-where even a single mistake is unacceptable and we need to get things right the first time．38.How do many people feel about leading AI researchers' predictions？______A. Worried．B. Curious．C. Doubtful．D. Disappointed．39.What does the author think of intelligence？______A. We know little about it．B. It belongs to human beings．C. It is too difficult to understand．D. We have nothing more to discover．40.What does the underlined word "upside" in Paragraph 4 probably mean？______A. Cost．B. Risk．C. Quantity．D. Advantage．41.What's important for us in the race between people and technology？______A. Learning from failure．B. Increasing our intelligence．C. Avoiding making mistakes．D. Being more optimistic．三、阅读七选五（本大题共5小题，共10.0分）Tips to Increase Your Productivity Want to get more done in your day？Of course you do．(1) The good news is that everyone can increase the amount of tasks they accomplish in a day．Here are some tips to help you have a more productive day．Make a plan for your day．Make sure you know how you want your day to go in advance，even before you start．(2) To work best，create the next day's plan the night before so that every morning you spend time performing，not planning．Break large tasks down into bits accomplished easily．Do you have a large project that's just so big that you keep putting it off？Or maybe you're just unsure of where to begin，so you put it off．(3) Therefore，you will feel a sense of accomplishment as you check the items of your list．Always set your priorities （优先事项）．(4) Figure out what must be done，do that first and rank the rest of your work according to importance．If you don't get to the items at the end of your list，it won't be a big problem，and you can do them another time．(5) If you are the most productive in the morning，that's when you should hit it hard and do as much as you can．If you work better in the afternoon，take care of some things like emails in the morning and then accomplish the important projects in the afternoon．Keep on top of your work habits，and you'll be more productive．A．Reward yourself if you are productive．B．Be aware of when you are the most productive．C．This can provide you a roadmap for the day．D．It's tough to meet depressed people who are productive．E．It's important to accomplish the most important tasks first．F．A good way is to break the project down into more manageable ones．G．To stay competitive in any industry，you need to improve your productivity．42.

Some students have to get up early every morning on weekdays to get to school n time by bus or by bike.

So it needs proper treatment and proper nourishment.The old saying “An apple a day keeps the doctor away” is not silly as some people think. The body needs fruit and vegetables because they contain vitamin C (维生素C). Many people take extra vitamins in the form of pills, believing that these will make them healthy. But a good diet is made up of nourishing food and this gives all the vitamins you need. The body doesn’t need or use extra vitamins. So why waste money on them?In the modern western world many people are too busy to care about eating properly. They throw anything into their stomachs, eating hurriedly and carelessly. The list of illness caused or made worse by bad eating habits is frightening.73. The old saying in the passage tells us that_______.A. the apple is the best among all kinds of fruits.B. apple can take the place of doctors.C. eating apples regularly (有规律的) does lots of good to our health.D. an apple is a sure cure for illness.74.

Some of them like to travel abroad and get to know something about the foreign countries. For example, they may go to China and learn about its old traditions and habits. However, this kind of trip is not always pleasant. First, it is not so convenient and secondly the service they receive in foreign countries is not quite satisfactory.Some of Americans enjoy travelling within their own states, usually going to the seaside towns or cities during summer.

The three of us soon became close friends. We played together almost every day. I thought even time couldn’t pull us apart, but I was sadly mistaken.The three of us started fighting a lot. Before Christmas, we had a really big fight, and Jamie and Jenna were against me, both saying I was bossy (专横的). I felt helpless and lonely. I thought Christmas would be horrible!I was surprised when Jenna came to my house and gave me a terrible Christmas card she had made for me. I was so sure that she was still disappointed with me.“Wow,” I said, breaking the silence as we stood on either side of my front door. “Thanks.”“Okay…well… I have to go,” she said softly.“Okay. See you later then…” and I closed the door.“Who was that at the door?” my mom asked.“It was Jenna, my classmate.” I said.The card started off with “Merry Christmas”, but then it said, “I am so glad we’re friends. I am sorry about what I said when we were fighting. A fight won’t stop us from being friends. Besides, we said we were going to befriends even when we’re eighty-two.”I stopped reading and started laughing. I couldn’t believe I had forgotten what she said that day in the backyard.

The town is cut off by floodwaters. At the fifthmile, Jalan Tengkn, the water is now two metres deep. It is closed to all traffic.Flood first appeared at mid-afternoon yesterday along the riverbanks. People struggling to higher ground were just in time to escape the destroying of the flood. Most of the flood victims had to leave all their things behind.The news was reported to the National Flood Relief Center and by early evening the whole town was moved out, helped by the army, police, Red Cross Society and volunteers.The flood victims are now housed in various simple relief centers in the nearby town of Ternang.“Everyth ing possible is being done to help the unfortunate people，” a government spokesman said. “In fact, money, food and clothing have begun to come in from public organizations and helpful people.”According to the latest reports it is still raining heavily at Ternang.

Or did he do experiments that were so simple and basic that other people just thought they were foolish?Sometimes, people think they already know the answer to a question or the solution to a problem.Sometimes, they really do know an answer or a solution, but without thinking they are important.Charles Darwin didn't settle for (满足于) just thinking he knew something. And, he believed all things could be important however simple they seemed to be.Suppose you drop sheets of paper that are of exactly the same size and shape. If you drop them at the same time in the same place, they will fall in the same way. Now make one of the sheets of paper into a tight (紧的) little ball and let it drop along with the other sheets. What happens? You have done anexperiment that is so simple that you might think it couldn't be worth anything.But this simple experiment is important. It explains part of our present day understandings of physics ideas that were worked out long ago by Galileo and Newton. And these understandings set_aside some of ancient Greek physics.The scientist sometimes stops to look at very simple things and to think very hard about them. Even the simplest idea, which we might think is foolish, can shake the foundations of science.76．The passage tells us that Charles Darwin _______.A．was a great English scientistB．always liked doing the experiments that others thought difficultC．thought even the simplest thing was importantD．didn't get along well with others77. Sometimes people ______.A. think they are cleverer than Darwin.B. don’t realize the importance of little thingsC. believe all things could be important even if they may be simpleD. do experiments to find an answer or a solution to a problem78．The phrase “set aside” most probably means “_______”．A．throw away B．store up C．put to use D．realize79．The author of the passage tries to ________.A．convince us that Charles Darwin, Galileo and Newton are the greatest scientists in the worldB．draw the conclusion that basic sciences are simple thingsC．prove that two sheets of paper, with the same size and shape, will fall at the same speedD．draw our attention to everyday happenings around us80．Which one of the following is true?A．Darwin really did fools' experiments.B．According to some people Darwin did foolish experiments.C．It is believed by all the people that things could be important though they seemed to be simple.D．Galileo and Newton worked out ancient Greek physics.V. 句子翻译（共5小题，每小题2分，共10分）81．_______________________________（信不信由你），he______________________________________________________________（已经下定决心）not to play computer games.82.She gave me ______________________________________(一个坚定的眼神), the kind that said shewould not__________________________________________（改变主意）.83.Although she di dn’t know __________________________________________________（去某些地方的最佳路线）,she insisted that______________________________________（把这次旅游安排得尽善尽美）.84.It seemed _____________________________________________（仿佛到了世界末日）.85.
