AThere are many kinds of friends. Some are always 1you, but don't understand you. Some say only a few words to you, but understand you. Many people will step in your life, but only 2friends leave footprints (脚印).I shall always recall (回忆) the autumn and the girl with the 3. She will always bring back the friendship between us. I know she will always be my best friend.It was the golden season. I could see the yellow leaves 4 on the cool 5 . In such a season, I liked walking alone in the leaves, 6 to the sound of them.Autumn is a 7season and life is uninteresting. The free days always get me 8. But one day, the sound of a violin 9into my ears like a stream (小溪) flowing in the mountains. I was so surprised that I jumped to see what it was. A young girl, standing in the wind, was 10 in playing her violin.I had 11 seen her before. The music was so nice that I listened quietly. Lost in the music, I didn't know that I had been 12there for so long but my existence (存在) did not seem to disturb her.Leaves were still falling. Every day she played the violin in the corner of the building 13 I went downstairs to watch her performance. I was the only listener. The autumn seemed no longer lonely and life became 14. 15we didn't know each other, I thought we were already good friends. I believe she also loved me.Autumn was nearly over. One day, when I was listening carefully, the sound suddenly 16. To my astonishment (惊讶), the girl came over to me.“You must like violin.” she sai d.“Yes. And you play very well. Why did you stop?” I asked.Suddenly, a 17 expression appeared on her face and I could feel something unusual.“I came here to see my grandmother, but now I must leave. I once played very badly. It was your listening every day that 18 me.” she said.“In fact, it was your playing 19gave me a meaningful autumn,” I answered, “Let's be friends.”The girl smiled, and so did I.I never heard her play again in my life. I no longer went downstairs to listen like before. Only thick leaves were left behind. But I will always remember the fine figure (身影) of the girl. She is like a 20—so short, so bright, like a shooting star giving off so much light that it makes the autumn beautiful.1. A. with B. for C. against D. to2. A. good B. true C. new D. old3.

He turned over and tried to go to 3again, but his wife still cried out, “Oh, help! Help! I'm sure I'm 4 !”Peter got out of bed and started 5 , but he could not find him any clothes.“Where is my shirt?” he asked. His wife was6ill to tell him, and she could only cry, “Oh, my7 stomach!”As soon as he had put his clothes 8 , he said, “Now, my dear, are you quite 9 that you need the doctor? Surely you can wait 10 morning, can't y ou?”“No, I can't. Go, go, go.” his wife shouted,“11 you will find me dead 12the morning.”So Peter went out into the dark street. He had only gone a few meters 13 he heard his wife calling him again.“I'm 14again now, and I shall not want the d octor.” she said softly.Hearing this, he started running as 15as he could towards the doctor's. When he arrived there, he knocked at the door loudly enough to wake 16 around.The doctor put his sleepy head out of the bedroom window and said, “Er? Who's there?”“Oh, Doctor.” Peter said to him, “I've very 17news for you. My wife 18ill with a terrible stomachache (胃疼).

And this is what he's set out to prove from a unique point of view in his most recent book, The Rational Optimist. He views mankind as a grand enterprise that, on the whole, has done little but progress for 100,000 years. He backs his findings with hard facts gathered through years of research.Here's how he explains his views.1 ) Shopping fuels inventionIt is reported that there are more than ten billion different products for sale in London alone. Even allowing for the many people who still live in poverty, our own generation has access to more nutritious food, more convenient transport, bigger houses, better cars, and, of course, more pounds and dollars than any who lived before us. This will continue as long as we use these things to make other things. The more we specialize and exchange, the better-off we'll be.2) Brilliant advancesOne reason we are richer, healthier, taller, cleverer, longer lived and freer than ever before is that the four most basic human needs—food, clothing, fuel and shelter—have grown a lot cheaper. Take one example. In 1800 a candle providing one hour's light cost six hours' work. In the 1880s the same light from an oil lamp took 15 minutes' work to pay for. In 1950 it was eight seconds. Today it's half second.3 )Let's not kill ourselves for climate changeMitigating (减轻) climate change could prove just as damaging to human welfare as climate change itself. A child that dies from indoor smoke in a village, where the use of fossil-fuel (化石燃料) electricity is forbidden by well-meaning members of green political movements trying to save the world, is just as great a tragedy as a child that dies in a flood caused by climate change. If climate change proves to be mild, but cutting carbon causes real pain, we may well find that we have stopped a nose-bleed by putting a tourniquet (止血带) around our necks.1. What is the theme of Ridley's most recent book?A. Weakness of human nature.B. Concern about climate change.C. Importance of practical thinking.D. Optimism about human progress.2. How does Ridley look at shopping?A. It encourages the creation of things.B. It results in shortage of goods.C. It demands more fossil fuels.D. It causes a poverty problem.3. The candle and lamp example is used to show that ________.A. oil lamps give off more light than candlesB. shortening working time brings about a happier lifeC. advanced technology helps to produce better candlesD. increased production rate leads to lower cost of goods4. What does the last sentence of the passage imply?A. Cutting carbon is necessary in spite of the huge cost.B. Overreaction to climate change may be dangerous.C. People's health is closely related to climate change.D. Careless medical treatment may cause great pain.(二)In business, there's a speed difference: It's the difference between how important a firm's leaders say speed is to their competitive(竞争的) strategy(策略) and how fast the company actually moves.The difference is important regardless of industry and company size. Companies fearful of losing their competitive advantage spend much time and money looking for ways to pick up the speed.In our study of 343 businesses, the companies that chose to go, go, go to try to gain-an-edge ended up with lower sales and operating incomes than those that paused at key moments to make sure they were on the right track.What's more, the firms that “slowed down to speed up” improved their top and bottom lines, averaging 40% higher sales and 52% higher operating incomes over a three-year period.How did they disobey the laws of business physics, taking more time than competitors yet performing better? They thought differently about what “slower” and “faster” mean.Firms sometimes fail to understand the difference between operational speed (moving quickly) and strategic speed (reducing the time it takes to deliver value).Simply increasing the speed of production, for example, may be one way to try to reduce the speed difference.But that often leads to reduced value over time, in the form of lower-quality products and services.In our study, higher-performing companies with strategic speed always made changes when necessary. They became more open to ideas and discussion.They encouraged new ways of thinking.And they allowed time to look back and learn.By contrast (相比而言), performance suffered at firms that moved fast all the time, paid too much attention to improving efficiency, stuck to tested methods, didn't develop team spirit among their employees, and had little time thinking about changes.Strategic speed serves as a kind of leadership.Teams that regularly take time to get things right, rather than plough ahead full bore, are more successful in meeting their business goals.That kind of strategy must come from the top.1.What does the un derlined part “gain an edge” in Paragraph 2 mean?A.Increase the speed. B.Get an advantage.C.Reach the limit. D.Set a goal.2.The underlined part “the laws of business physics” in Paragraph 3 means ________.A.spending more time and performing worseB.spending more time and performing betterC.spending less time and performing worseD.spending less time and performing better 3.What can we learn from the text?A.How fast a firm moves depends on how big it is.B.How competitive a firm is depends on what it produces.C.Firms guided by strategic speed take time to make necessary changes.D.Firms guided by operational speed take time to develop necessary team spirit.4.Which could be the best title for the text?A.Improve quality? Serve better.B.Deliver value? Plough ahead.C.Reduce time? Move faster.D.Need speed? Slow down.(三)Some people believe that international sport creates goodwill(友好)between the nations and that if countries play games together they will learn to live together. Others say that the opposite is true: that international contests encourage false national pride and lead to misunderstanding and hatred(仇恨). There is probably some truth in both arguments, but in recent years the Olympic Games have done little to support the view that sports encourage international brotherhood. Not only was there the tragic incident involving the murder of athletes, but the Games were also ruined by lesser incidents caused principally by minor national contests.One country received its second—place medals with visible indignation after the hockey final. There had been noisy scenes at the end of the hockey match as, the losers objecting to the final decisions. They were convinced that one of their goals should not have been disallowed and that their opponents’ victory was unfair .Their manager was in a rage when he said:“ This wasn’t hockey. Hockey and the I nternational Hockey Federation are finished.” The president of the Federation said later that such behavior could result in the suspension(暂停)of the team for at least three years.The American basketball team announced that they would not yield first place to Russia, after a disputable end to their contest. The game had ended in disturbance. It was thought at first that the United States had won, by a single point, but it was announced that there were three seconds still to play. A Russian player then threw the ball from one end of the court to the other, and another player popped it into the basket. It was the first time the U.S.A. had ever lost an Olympic basketball match. An appeal jury debated the matter for four and a half hours before announcing that the result would stand. The American players then voted not to receive the silver medals.Incidents of this kind will continue as long as sport is played competitively rather than for the love of the game. The suggestion that athletes should compete as individuals, or in non national terms, might be too much to hope for. But in the present organization of the Olympics there is far too much that encourages aggressive patriotism(爱国主义).1.According to the author, recent Olympic Games have ____.A. created goodwill between the nationsB. bred only false national prideC. hardly showed any international friendshipD. led to more and more misunderstanding and hatred2.What did the manager mean by saying,“...Hockey and the International Hockey Federation are fi nished”?A. His team would no longer take part in international games.B. Hockey and the Federation are 60th ruined by the unfair decisions.C. There should be no more hockey matches organized by the Federation.D. The Federation should be dissolved.3.The basketball example implied that ____.A. too much patriotism was displayed in the incidentB. the announcement to prolong the match was wrongC. the appeal jury was too hesitant in making the decisionD. The American team was right in receiving the silver medals4.The author gives the two examples in paragraph 2 and 3 to show ____.A. how false national pride led to undesirable incidents in international gamesB. that sportsmen have been more obedient than they used to beC. that competitiveness in the games discourages international friendshipD. that unfair decisions are common in Olympic Games5.What conclusion can be drawn from the passage?A. The organization of the Olympic Games must be improved.B. Athletes should compete as individuals in the Olympic Games.C. Sport should be played competitively rather than for the love of the game.D. International contests are liable for misunderstanding between nations.(四)There are two major parties in Britain today,the Conservative Party and the Labour Party, which have been in power by turns since 1945.The two—party system of Britain was formed in the course of the development of the capitalist state and the political parties.In order to strengthen the state machine,the British bourgeoisie(资产阶级)have let it come into being and exist in one form or another form since the 17th century. P.S.Tregidgo once said:“The more parties there are,the less likely it is that any one of them will be strong enough in Parliament(议会)to outvote all the others;but when there are only two, one of them is sure to have a majority of seats.This helps to ensure a strong and stable government.”This may be the reason why the British have the two party system.The division into two parties grew out the establishment of a Protestant Church of England in the 16th century.Because of a purely religious difference of opinion,the Puritans were separated from the broad body of the Anglican Church. The non-Puritan Anglicans were on the side of the King and Church,and their supporters were call ed by their opponents “Tories.”The Puritans were for Parliament and trade, and their supporters were called by the “Tories”“Whigs”.The Tories and the Whigs were in power by turns for a long time.In 1833,the Tory party split into two and its name was changed to Conservative.In the 1860s the Whigs became Liberals.From that time on,the Liberals and the Conservatives were in office by turns until 1922.The policies they put into effect were sometimes different, but they were both controlled by the rich.The working class became more and more unwilling to follow the Conservatives and the Liberals.They wanted to have their own party.So the Labour party was formed by the trade unions.After 1922 the Labour Party gradually replaced the Liberal Party to become one of the two major parties in Great Britain.1.What does “it” stand for in the fourth line?A. The two party system.B. The state machine.C. The Partiament.D. The capitalist state.2.We can learn from what P.S Tregidgo once said that ____.A. if there are parties in Britain,none of them will be strong enough to have control in the government.B. the more patients there are, the more likely it is that they will have the decisive say in the government.C. the two party system contributes to the establishment of a powerful and long lasting government.D. if there are only two parties in Britain, it will be easy for the government to control them.3.What can we infer from the forming of the Tory Party and the Whig Party?A. These two parties originally believed in different religions.B. These two parties were established under the influence of different religious believes.C. The British King and the Parliament supported different religions because they were for the two party system.D. The British King and the Parliament were supported by different parties for political reasons.4.According to the passage,why was the Labour Party established in Britain?A. Because the trade unions did not do much good for the working people.B. Because the Liberal Party were not strong enough to defeat the Conservative Party.C. Because the working people would not like to be members outside the Liberal Party.D. Because neither of the two major parties was the parties for the working people.5.Which of the following is true concerning the Tory Party or the Whig Party?A. The Whig Party no longer exists in Britain.B. The Tory Party has kept its unity until the present day.C. The Whig Party has taken the place of the Liberal Party.D. The Tory Party has taken the place of the Conservative Party.【答案详解】Passage A文章通过“我”和一个小姑娘秋天邂逅的故事体现了知心朋友的重要性。

Pat, his sister kissed him and said,You haven't changed much, Roy. Let me see, now —when did we meet last?Twenty-five years age, he answered. I came here for a week, do you remember? He added,You haven't changed much either. It was polite for Roy to say so,but it wasn't true. Pat seemedalmost an old lady. The next morning Roy walked throughthe village alone. The place looked very different. There were lots of trafficsigns on the roads and beside the roads. There was a new car park, a new postoffice, a new bus stop. He remembered suddenly that the bus used to stopanywhere: you just put up your handand it stopped.One surprise followedanother. The railway station was gone! The school was gone; a lot of farmmachinery stood in the playground!But Roy's biggest surprise was thepeople. He didn't recognize(认出)anybody at all; perhaps because everyone seemed old.He went intothe post office and bought some stamps.Where are all the children and young people? he asked thepostmaster.The old fellow looked up from hisbook of stamps. Children? he said. They're in school, ofcourse. There are three or four young families here. The children go to schoolby bus—to Horham.Horham was a town about twentykilometres away.At lunch Pat said, The villagelooks nice, doesn't it?It's all different, Pat. Itused to be an exciting place, but now it's full of old people. I don'tunderstand…There are a few newcomers, butthe ones we knew are still here. You're not exactly young yourself, Roy, areyou?11.Whydid Roy say that Pat hadn't changed much, either? Because ().A. Pat was still a young ladyB.they hadn't seen each other for twenty- five yearsC. he didn't know how much Pat hadchangedD.it was a polite way to say so12. Roy didn't recognize anybody at all because().A. the people of the village were allnewcomersB.they had become much older than beforeC. he didn't know them at allD.the people he knew had gone to school13. Which of the following is true according to thepassage?A. Roy was a young man.B.The people who Roy knew were still in the village.C.

From the passage, we know that().A. the postmaster understood what RoyaskedB.there was no school in the village beforeC. the children Roy knew must go toschool by busD. Roy didn't realize(认识到)that he was twenty-five years older than before15. The best title(题目) of the passage is().A. ChangesB. A SurpriseC.It's Full of Old PeopleD.A Polite Answer(B)Homesick is acompound (复合) word made up of HOME andSICK. You know what each word means on its own, of course. But think about whatthe words mean when they are used together. Homesick means SICK FOR HOME.Now think for a minute about SEASICK.If you change the word home in the definition(释义) to the word sea, would the definition fit SEASICK?Doesseasick mean SICK FOR SEA? It means something quite different. Seasick meansSICK BY THE MOVEMENT ON THE SEA. When you are homesick, the only place you wantto be at home. When you are seasick, the last place you want to be is at seA.Have you ever heard of a person beingheartsick? Heart-sick doesn't mean that something is wrong with a person'sheart. People are heartsick when they are hurt deep inside and when they feelas if their hearts are broken.But, on the other hand, we have suchcompound words as handshake and handbag. Perhaps you may write definitions forthem and knowing something like this must be helpful in your English study.16.

Every day after school, he would go to the local basketball court to practice.John’s father, Mr.Smith, admired his son’s dedication and passion for the sport. He noticed that John’s basketball shoes were old and worn out, so he decided to surprise him with a new pair.One evening, when John came home from practice, he found a shoebox on his bed. He opened it eagerly and was overjoyed to see a brand-new pair of basketball shoes inside. They were the latest model with cushioned soles and perfect grip.The next day, John couldn’t wait to show off his new shoes to his friends at the basketball court. As he stepped onto the court, his confidence soared. He felt like he could move faster and jump higher than ever before.During the game, John’s ski lls and performance amazed everyone. He scored multiple baskets and made crucial defensive plays. His team won the game, and John basked in the glory of his success.However, as time went on, John started to rely more on his new shoes than on his own abilities. He became less focused on practice and more concerned about maintaining his image as a skilled player.One day, during an important match, John’s shoe lace snapped. He hastily tied it up, but it wasn’t secure enough. As he ran down the court, his sho e came off, causing him to trip and fall. His team lost the game, and John felt embarrassed and disappointed.After the match, Mr. Smith sat down with John and had a heart-to-heart conversation. He reminded John that skill and hard work were more important than any equipment or gear. He encouraged him to focus on improving his abilities rather than relying solely on external factors.From that day on, John changed his mindset. He continued to practice and worked hard on honing his basketball skills.

They have a big farm and they are always busy working on it. Their son, Peter, studied at a middle school. The young man studied hard and did well in his lessons. It made them happy.Last month Peter finished middle school and passed the entrance examination. Mrs. Turner was very happy and told the farmers about it.Yesterday morning the woman went to the town to buy something for her son. On the bus she told one of her friends how clever and able her son was. She spoke very loudly. All the people in the bus began to listen to her.“Which university will your son study in?” a woman next to her asked.“In the most famous university in our country!” Mrs. Turner said happily.“The most famous university?”“Oxford University.”Most of the passengers looked at her carefully. Some of them said to her, “Congratulations!”A woman said, “I'm sure he'll know Fred Smith.”“Who's Fred Smith?”“He's my son.”“Does he study in the university, too?”“No, ”said the woman. “He is one of the professors.”l.

Its old meaning is used to express a temperature that is a little bit cold. As the world has changed, the word has had many different meanings.“Cool” can be used to express feelings of interest in almost anything. When you see a famous car in the street, maybe you will say “It's cool. “You may think, “He's so cool,” when you see your favorite footballer.We all maximize (扩大) the meaning of “cool”. You can use it instead of many words such as “new” or “surprising”. Here's an interesting story we can use to show the way the word is used. A teacher asked her students to write about the waterfall (瀑布) they had visited. On one student's paper was just the one sentence, “It's so cool”. Maybe he thought it was the best way to show what he saw and felt.But the story also shows a scarcity (缺乏) of words. Without “cool”, some people have no words to show the same meaning. So it is quite important to keep some credibility (可信性). Can you think of many other words that make your life as colorful as the word “cool”? I can. And I think they are also very cool.1. We know that the word “cool” has ________.A. only one meaningB. no meaningsC. many different meaningsD. the same meaning2. In the passage, the word “express” means“________”.A. seeB. showC. knowD. feel3. If you are ________ something, you may say, “It's cool.”A. interested inB. angry aboutC. afraid ofD. unhappy with4. The writer takes an example to show he is _________ the way the word is used.A. pleased withB. strange toC. worried aboutD. careful with5. In the passage, the writer suggests (暗示) that the word “cool”_________.A. can be used instead of many wordsB. usually means something interestingC. can make your life colourfulD. may not be as cool as it seems阅读理解3A meteorite (陨石) almost hit an 80-year-old man named Arthur Pettifer in Britain when he was working in his garden. The meteorite was the biggest in the past 26 years in Britain.The meteorite weighed (重量) one kilo, and might be over four thousand million years old.“I hear the big noise in the air. I looked up and saw the tops of the trees coming and going,” he said. “I didn't know what it was.”Meteorites are small things from the small planets in space. About 3,500 meteorites may fall on earth every year, but only very few are found. Mr. Pettifer's meteorite is the fifth to fall in Britain since the Second World War.Mr. Pettifer is glad. “When you think about it coming from so far away, it really is something strange.”1. The meteorite was ______ Mr Pettifer when it fell down.A. close toB. far fromC. hittingD. coming to2.

Quite a fewB. someC. FewD. Many5. Mr. Pettifer was ______ to see the falling of the meteorite.A. happyB. afraidC. sorryD. angry阅读理解4One of the things I always believe is that no matter how bad something is, you can take something positive out of it. The one time I wasn’t sure of that was on September 11.I usually wake up a 6:30 or 7:00 in the morning. That day, I happened to wake up earlier. I turned on the TV and I saw that a plane had crashed (撞击) into the North Tower of the World Trade Center. My first reaction (反应) was that it was a terrible accident. Then I saw another plane fly into the South Tower and I realized that I was witnessing (目击) an act of terrorism.My wife and I spent the day watching the terrible pictures over again. When I watched family members looking for their loved ones, the pain in their eyes was something I would never forget. I couldn’t understand how something this terrible could have happened.It wasn’t until a few weeks after September 11 that I began to see that perhaps some good did come from this tragedy (悲剧). People seem different now, more understanding, more tolerant(宽容的). Little things that seemed to be such a trouble before are no longer big things. Personally, I am more tolerant than I was. I realize life is too short, and too precious(珍贵的), to let myself get worried over small things. I’ve learned also that you can’t take things for granted. Things change in the blink of an eye. People go to work and don’t come back. One moment they’re living and the next minute they’re not. And, it doesn’t matter who you are, there is nothing you can do about it. We never know when our time here will be over, so we all need to make the most of every minute we have.You try to learn from what happened. You can’t be used up by it. You can’t live by it. All you can do is just live.1. The word “positive” in the passage probably means ______.A. terribleB. badC. goodD. real2. What did the writer see after he turned on the TV that morning?A. A fire startingB. A plane flyingC. A terrible accidentD. An act of terrorism.3. From September 11, the writer had realized that___________.A. people should make the most of every minute they haveB. he has become less tolerant towards othersC. he should get worried about little thingsD. life is too short to care about others.4. What’s the best title of this passage?A. A Report about September 11B. The Tragedy of September 11C. September 11 and My FamilyD. September 11 and My Turn.阅读理解5Mrs. Weeks was reading a newspaper story to her class. The story said:Were you ever in a hospital when you were small? How did you feel?

Sometimes you'll get your words mixed up and people will notunderstand you. Sometimes people will say things too quickly and you can' t understand them. But if you keep your sense of humor(幽默感),you can always have a good laugh at the mistakes you make. Don't be unhappy if people seem to be laughing at your mistakes.
