While they have learned to play well with others during their childhood, developing independent friendships is a different thing. Preteens and teens will be allowed to use their own resources to decide whether to be someone’s friend or not, instead of being taught by their parents. Parents must give their teenagers some freedom in choosing who they want to hang out with.You can help your teens to choose their friends, although it’s your teenagers who make the final decision. You can use teachable moments to talk about what makes a good friend. Here are some points to remember when you talk about friendships with your teenagers: 1) You are allowed to have many friends; 2) Honesty is important in a friendship;3) Friends sometimes hurt each other, but they can say sorry and forgive(原谅);4) Friends can influence each other, sometimes they will help you but sometimes they will hurt you, too.5) Who you choose to be your friend is important, so choose wisely;6) It takes many learned skills to make and keep a friendship, and it also takes many skills to end a friendship;7) It is okay and even helpful to make friends with the opposite gender(异性); 8) It takes time to make a good friend, but it is worth the effort;9) Spending time together will help you get to know your friends well and you will feel comfortable sharing feelings;10) A good friendship will make you feel good about yourself.【小题1】What should their parents do when teenagers make friends? A ．Do nothing but give them all the freedom. B ．Talk with them and give some help. C ．Decide and choose friends for them.D ．Stop them from making friends with opposite gender. 【小题2】Which point is about how to end a friendship?A ．Point 3.B ．Point 4.C ．Point 5.D ．Point 6. 【小题3】Which of the following is NOT needed in making friends?

Strangely enough, the answer to these questions is yes. In some degree, our intelligence is given to us at birth, and no education can make a genius (天才) out of a child born with low intelligence. On the other hand, a child who lives in a boring environment will develop his intelligence less than one who lives in rich试卷第7页，总11页environment. Therefore, the limits(限度) of person’s intelligence are fixed at birth, whether or not he reaches those limits will depend on his environment. This point of view, now is held by most experts.It is easy to show that intelligence is something that we are born with. The closer the blood relationship between two people, the closer they are likely to be intelligence. If we take two strangers by chance from the population, it seems that their degree of intelligence will be completely different. If, on the other hand, we compare two twins, they will very likely be as intelligent as each other. Relations like brothers and sisters, parents and children, usually have similar intelligence, and this clearly suggests that intelligence depends on birth.Imagine now that we take two twins and put them in different environments. We might send one, for example, to a university and the other to a factory separately where the work is boring. We would soon find differences in intelligence developing, and this shows thatenvironment as well as birth plays an important part. This result is also suggested by the fact that people who live in close contact with each other, but who are not related at all are likely to have similar degree of intelligence.【小题1】How is man’s intelligence given? A ．At birth.B ．Through education.C ．Both at birth and through education.D ．Neither at birth nor through education.【小题2】According to the passage, if a child is born with low intelligence, what might happen to him later?A ．Become a genius.B ．Still become a genius if he should be given special education.C ．Reach his intelligence limits in rich environment.D ．Never reach his intelligence in his life.【小题3】What can we learn from the example of the twins going to a university and to a factory?A ．The importance of their intelligence.B ．The role of environment on intelligence.C ．The importance of their jobs.D ．The part that birth plays.【小题4】What statement is TRUE according to the passage?A ．No education can help make a genius.B ．Personality is important as intelligence which was given to people at birth.C ．People who have similar degree of intelligence must be relatives.D ．Environment influences people in intelligence developing. 【小题5】How does the writer make his idea clear? A ．By giving explanation. B ．By giving an example. C ．By giving figures(数字). D ．By giving suggestions.试卷第8页，总11页……内…………○…………装…分卷II分卷II 注释四、选词填空(注释)20、请仔细阅读Mr. Smith对Sam说的话，从A、B、C、D中找出可以替换1—4小题中划线部分的选项, 并完成第5小题。

A street that I had never been allowed to cross unless I was with an adult, or at least, an older brother or sister. On that day everything changed."Thirsty?"Grampy asked, smoking as usual."Yes,"was my reply."How would you like to run over to the gas station there and get me a bottle of coke?"I couldn’t believe my ears. Had I heard it right? Was he talking to me? Still,Grampy was thirsty... "Okay, "I replied shyly,already wondering how I would get across the street. I'd never done that before and it worried me a little. But I was a brave little boy.He gave me a dime ( —角硬币），stood up and looked both ways along the street. When he was sure it was safe for me, he told me to cross. I thought I'd never make it,but I did. Now I was on the other side, but next came the garage. I went inside and looked around me. Hmm, not so strange. I’d been in a garage before, with my father. I found the coke machine and put in my dime. Clunk! Out the bottle came. Coke in hand, I proudly went back in the early evening. Grampy was waiting patiently. He smiled.I made it back to the other side and Grampy shared the coke with me. It was the coldest,most delicious drink I have ever tasted. I was very happy. But I was happy about more than the coke. I had begun to grow up a little—thanks to Grampy, and a little to myself.( )36. Before the story happened, the boy was only allowed to cross the street .A. if he wanted to buy a cokeB. before the sun went downC. when he was with his younger brotherD. when he was with an adult( )37.

The Gas StationD. Grampy, the Heavy SmokerCPoor Tom ! He looked at the fence. All gladness left him, and a deep sadness fell on his heart. Thirty yards of fence, nine feet high. Suddenly his life seems hard and empty. Sadly he started his work.But soon, he began to think of the fun he had planned for his Saturday. In a while the free boys would come running along on their adventures. They would make fun of him for having to work. The thought of this burnt Tom like fire.Suddenly, an idea broke up him. A brilliant idea!Tom dipped (浸）his brush and peacefully went to work. Soon Ben Rogers came down theroad, eating an apple. He was one of the boys who would most enjoy laughing at Tom.Tom went on whitewashing. He was paying no attention to Ben. Ben watched Tom a moment. Then he said,"Hello, old boy. You're in trouble, hey?"No answer. Tom stepped back and looked at his work with the eye of an artist. He dipped in his brush again and painted a few more feet. He stepped back and looked carefully, as before. Ben came up beside him. Tom's mouth watered for Ben's apple,but he kept on working.Ben said,"Hi there, Tom. You got to work,hey?"Tom turned slowly and said, "Why, it's you, Ben. I didn't notice.""Say,I'm going swimming, I am. Don't you wish you could? But of course you couldn't.You've got to work."Tom looked at Ben. "You call it work?""Well, isn't that work?"Tom continued whitewashing. He answered happily, "Well, maybe it is,and maybe it isn't. All I know is that it's good for Tom Sawyer.""You mean you like it?""Like it?" Tom answered. "Well, I don't see why I shouldn't like it. Does a boy get a chance to whitewash a fence every day?"Ben stopped eating his apple. After a moment he said, "Say, Tom, let me whitewash a little."Tom pretended to think about Ben's offer. He seemed to agree, but then he said, "Nono. You see, Aunt Polly cares a lot about this fence, and it has to be done very carefully. I don't think a boy in a thousand—maybe two thousand—can do it well.""Oh,come on, Tom, let me just try. Only a little, I'll give you a bite of my apple.""Ben, I'd like to, really, but Aunt Polly ...Jim wanted to paint, but she wouldn't let him. She trusts only in me. You see my problem?""I'll give you all of my apple!"Tom gave up the brush with worry in his. face but triumph in his heart. He sat on the grass, ate Ben's apple and waited for the next boy. Plenty of boys came down the road as the day passed. They came to make fun of him, but they stayed to whitewash. And every one of them traded the chance of painting with their treasures.Tom said to himself that it was not such an empty world, after all. He had discovered a great law(法则）of human action, that is, to make a man or a boy want something, just make it difficult to get.( )4l. Which of the following is TRUE?A. Tom pretended not to see him at all when Ben came running towards him.B. Tom had planned to do some adventures on Saturday, but he was asked to do white washinginstead by the other boys.C. Tom accepted the whitewashing because he knew it was only for good boys like him.D. Tom was unwilling to let Ben do the whitewashing because it was so enjoyable.( )42.

Which of the following words has the closest meaning to the underlined word"triumph"?A. disappointmentB. fearC. victoryD. sadness( )44. What is the story mainly about?A. Tom had to do the whitewashing to get Ben’s apple.B. Tom got a lot of treasures as a result of giving the other boys chances to do the whitewashing.C. Tom was made fun of by the other boys when he was doing the whitewashing.D. Tom made the other boys help him do the whitewashing by pretending to be willing to. ( )45.
