He is not quick to judge. Instead, he tries to learn from others. He puts himself in the other person's place, and he tries to think of ways to be helpful. He is also a good listener.At the same time, a good friend is honest. He does not look for faults in others. He notices their good points. In short, a friend will try to understand me and accept me.Another quality of a friend is reliability. I can always depend on a good friend. If he tells me he will meet me somewhere at a certain time, I can be sure that he will be there. If I need a favor, he will do his best to help me. If I am in trouble, he will not run away from me.When I meet someone who is reliable, honest, and understanding, I know I've found a friend!6.The writer thinks that one of the important qualities in choosing a friend is understanding.A：T B：F7.If you have fair weather friends, you will be lucky.A：T B：F8.Good friends need to understand each other's feelings.A：T B：F9.This passage is mainly discussing the qualities of a friend.A：T B：F10.The meaning of the phrase 'a fair weather friend' underlined in the 1st paragraph is a friend who shares difficulties with youA：T B：F题型二：此部分共有一篇短文，每篇短文后有5个问题。

He called his parents from San Francisco. ―Mom and Dad, I’m coming home, but I’ve a favor to ask. I have a friend. I’d like to bring him home with me.‖―Sure,‖ they replied, ―we’d love to meet him.‖―There’s something you should know,‖ the son continued, ―he was injured pretty badly in the fighting. He stepped on a land mine and lost an arm and a leg. He has nowhere else to go, and I want him to live with us.‖―We’re sorry to hear that, son. But, maybe we can help him find somewhere to live.‖―No, Mom and Dad, I want him to live with us.‖―Son,‖ said the father, ―you don’t know what you’re asking. Someone with such a handicap would be a terrible burden to us. We have our own lives to live, and we can’t let something like this interfere with our lives. I think you should just come home and forget about this guy. He’ll find a way to live on his own.‖At that point, the son hung up the phone. The parents heard nothing more from him. A few days later, however, they received a call from the San Francisco police. Their son had died after falling from a building. The police believed he had killed himself.The grief-stricken parents flew to San Francisco and were taken to the city morgue to identify the body of their son.

Shy people are anxious and self-conscious; that is, they are excessively concerned with their own appearance and actions. Worrisome thoughts are constantly occurring in their minds: what kind of impression am I making? Do they like me? Do I soundstupid? Am I wearing unattractive clothes?It is obvious that suc h uncomfortable feelings must negatively affect people. A person’s conception of himself or herself is reflected in the way he or she behaves, and the way a person behaves affects other people’s reactions. In general, the way people think about themselves has a profound effect on all areas of their lives.Shy people, having low self-esteem, are likely to be passive and easily influenced by others. They need reassurance that they are doing ―the right thing.‖ Shy people are very sensitive to criticism; they f eel it confirms their feelings of inferiority. They also find it difficult to be pleased by compliment with a statement like this one, ―You’re just saying that to make me feel good. I know it’s not true.‖ It is clear that while self-awareness is a healthy quality, overdoing it is harmful.Can shyness be completely eliminated, or at least reduced？Fortunately, people can overcome shyness with determined and patient efforts in building self-confidence. Since shyness goes hand in hand with a lack of self-esteem, it is important for people to accept their weaknesses as well as their strengths.Each one of us is a unique, worthwhile individual, interested in our own personal ways. The better we understand ourselves, the easier it becomes to live up to our full potential. Let’s not allow shyness to block our chances for a rich and fulfilling life.6. What does the author try to prove by citing ―what kind of impression am I making?‖ (Para. 1)A. Shy people benefit from their caring about their appearance.B. People’s shyness made them care too much a bout their appearance and actions.C. It’s natural that shy people don’t believe other’s compliments.D. Shy people think they are different from others.7. According to the writer, self-awareness is ____________.A. a good qualityB. the cause of unhappinessC. harmful to peopleD. a weak point of shy people8. When being praised, shy people feel that it is ____________,A. goodB. unrealC. very reasonableD. harmful9. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?A. Shyness helps us to develop our potential.B. Shyness enables us to understand ourselves better.C. Shyness can block our chances for a rich life.D. Shyness has nothing to do with lack of self-esteem.10. It can be inferred from the passage that shy people ___________.A. should find more of their weaknessB. should understand themselves in the right wayC. had better ignore their weaknessD. can get rid of their shyness while maintaining low self-esteemPassage 3Places to stay in Britain are as varied as the places you visit. Whatever your budget is the choice — from basic barn to small hotel, from tiny cottage to grand castle — is all part of fun.HostelsCheap, good-value hostels are aimed at all types of like–minded travelers, who prefer value over luxury and you don’t have to be young or single to use them. Britain’s independent hostels and backpackers hostels also offer a great welcome. Facilities and prices vary, especially in rural areas, where some hostels are a little more than a bunkhouse (临时住房) while others are remarkably comfortable — almost like bargain hotels.Youth HotelsFoun ded many years ago to ―help all, especially young people of limited means, to a greater knowledge, love and care of the countryside‖, the Youth Hotels Association is still going strong in the 21st century. The network of 230 hotels is a perfect gateway for exploring Britain’s towns and countryside.B & BsThe B&B (bed and breakfast) is a great British institution. In essence you get a room in somebody’s house, and small B & Bs may only have one guest room, so you’ll really feel like part of the family. Larg er B & Bs may have four or five rooms and more facilities, but just as warm as a welcome.In country areas your B&B might be in a village or an isolated farm surrounded by fields. Prices reflect facilities: and usually run from around ￡12 to ￡20 per person. City B & Bs charge about ￡25 to ￡30 per person, although they’re often cheaper as you go further out to the suburbs.Pubs & InnsAs well as selling drinks and meals, Britain’s pubs and inns sometimes offer B & B, particularly in country areas. Staying a night or two can be great fun and puts you at the heart of the local community.Rates range from around ￡15 to ￡25 per person. Pubs are more likely to have single rooms.11. In this passage the author mainly ___________.A. tells us where to stay while visiting BritainB. advises readers to pay a visit to BritainC. introduces the wonderful public services in BritainD. gives us some information about British life12. __________ are mainly built for young visitors.A. Pubs & InnsB. Youth HotelsC. HostelsD. B & Bs13. If you travel alone and want to know better about family life in Britain. You’d better stay in ___________.A. Pubs & InnsB. Youth HotelsC. HostelsD. B & Bs14. If you are interested in traveling with your friends but only with limited means, where is the better place for you to stay?A. Pubs & InnsB. Youth HotelsC. HostelsD. B & Bs15.

No other animal has a complex symbolic language that must be learned. Animal language is largely instinctive, 1 basic human language is learned speech, composed of sounds that symbolize things, ideas, actions, and the like.We learn to read, often with considerable effort, by noticing or 2 taught that groups of letters stand for the sounds that we already know how to speak.

Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A) , B) , C) and D). You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.Passage OneA recent US best-seller declared that men and women are so different that we must be from different planets! Men, it was said, can’t talk about their feelings. Thus, the author suggested that when a man is upset, a woman should just go shopping.Well, speaking for the one man I know best, I can say that I feel insulted, underestimated and stereotyped by such misleading generalizations. Not only do I believe the author’s premise to be false, but I believe it contributes toe the problem by perpetuating a dysfunctional myth. In my experience, men, like women, can talk about their feelings if they are given the words to do so.This myth that men are insensitive is also reinforced through the socialization process. Buys are not supposed to cry, and if they do they are denigrated wit labels such as sissy, pansy, and much worse, all of which are designed to shame them into acting “manly”. In the man’s world, one of the first things boys learn is that the expression of any so-called feminine feelings will quickly bring mockery, ridicule, rejection and other forms of social disapproval.Boys are taught to play with injuries and are admired when they endure pain. Men have long been taught to blindly obey in areas as law enforcement, the military and even in some corporations. A man who is trained to kill animals for trophies, to fight bulls for entertainment and to kill other humans in battle is a man who has been conditioned to alienate himself forms this feeling. And now it seems women are becoming more like men, rather than vice versa.Research shows that women, in general, are by nature more empathetic, sensitive and attuned to their own and other’s feelings. But I have known some men who are more emotionally sensitive than some women. The preliminary scores on EI (Emotional Intelligence) tests also show that there is only a small difference in the composite EI score. From personal experience, I’ve found it easy to teach men to identify and express their feelings. And finally, I am living proof that not all men are from Mars!31. The author of this passage might believe that ______.A. men are from a different planet than women areB. men are taught from early age to behave masculine to meet social approvalC. more and more men are becoming sissy and sensitiveD. in tests of feelings men and women have very different scores32. What does the last sentence of the first paragraph imply?A. The woman should still go shipping even though the man is unhappyB. A man should not be upset when a woman goes shopping.C. Men and women are completely different from each other.D. The man is upset because the woman spends too much money shopping.33. According to research, women are by nature more attuned to their own andothers’ feelings, which means that women______.A. agree with their own and other’s feelings easily.B. change their own and other’s feelings easily.C. keep their own and others’ feelings easily.D. forget their own and others’ feelings easily34. Which of the following is in agreement with the author’s point of view?A. Men and women are completely different as far as emotions are concerned.B. Women are talkative, and in contrast, men are completely not.C. Women are naturally able to identify and express their fellings, while menare not.D. Men and women are likely to believe that they are from different planets.35. The word “stereotyped”(underlined in paragraph 2) probably means_________.A. with individualityB. dullC. a type of manD. a kind of sound effect.Passage TwoAnother cultural aspect of nonverbal communication is one that you might not think about: space. Every person perceives himself to have a sort of invisible shield surrounding his physical body. When someone comes too close, he feels uncomfortable. When he bumps onto someone, he feels obligated to apologize. But the size of a person’s “comfort zone” depends on his cultural ethnic origin. For example, in casual conversation, many Americans stand about four feet apart. In other words, they like to keep each other “at arm’s length”. People in Latin or Arab cultures, in contrast, stand very close to each other, and touch each other often. If someone from one of those cultures stands too close to an American while in conversation, the American may feel uncomfortable and back away. When Americans are talking, they expect others to respond to what they are saying. To Americans, polite conversationalists empathize by displaying expressions of excitement or disgust, shock or sadness. People with a “poker face”, whose emotio ns are hidden by a deadpan expression, are looked upon with suspicion. Americans also indicate their attentiveness in a conversation by raising their eyebrows, nodding, smiling politely and maintaining good eye contact. Whereas some cultures view direct eye contact as impolite or threatening, Americans see it as a sign of genuineness and honesty. If a person doesn’t look you in the eye, American might say, you should question his motives-or assume that he doesn’t like you. Yet with all the concern for eye c ontact, Americans still consider staring —especially at strangers — to be rude.36. What the author discussed in the previous section is most probably about____ ____.A. classification of nonverbal communicationB. the reasons why people should think about spaceC. the relationship between communication and spaceD. some other cultural aspects of nonverbal communication37.How far people keep to each other while talking is closely associated with their ______.A. originB. cultureC. customD. nationality38. When an Italian talks to an Arabian on informal occasions,________.A. he stands about four feet awayB. “comfort zone” does not existC. keeping close enough is preferredD. communication barriers may emerge39. A “poker fa ce” (Line 3,Para. 2) refers to a face which is ________.A attentive B. emotional C. suspicious D. expressionless 40. In a conversation between friends, Americans regard it as sincere and truthful to________.A. maintain direct eye contactB. hide emotions with a deadpan expressionC. display excitement or disgust, shock or sadnessD. raise their eyebrows, nod and smile politelySection B:Directions: In this section, there is a passage with ten blanks. You are required to select one word for each blank from a list of choices given in a word bank following the passage. Read the passage through carefully before making your choices. Each choice in the blank is identified by a letter. You may not use any of the words in the bank more than once.Blanks 41 to 50 are based on the following passage.Nowadays groups of scientists spend their time studying earthquakes. It is very 41 that they will be able to prevent earthquakes or influence the direction of their movements, which are determined by events far below the surface of the earth. But the facts they report and the theories suggested by those facts may enable scientists to 42 the centers of future earthquakes and even predict the time of their occurrence. It is only when the sequence of 43 that we call an earthquake can be seen as a pattern that predictions can be made. Part of this pattern is external and 44 , or capable of being recorded by sensitive instruments above the earth’s surface.Scientists studied the 45 of the San Francisco earthquake. The city was rebuilt, and new features were 46 to strengthen buildings and maintain a constant water supply in the event of another earthquake.

The cherrier are then dropped into huge containers of water ,in which they are washed clean,and look fresh and pretty when they are placed into plastic boxes which come along the belt one after another . All this work is finished within three minutes.In this way two orchard workers are able to fulfil the harvesting work of a cherry orchard within two days which was done by over one hundred workers for two weeks.Another new machine that picks tomatoes has just been invented .First it cuts the vines below the soil .Then both the vines and the fruit are pulled into the machine which separates the tomatoes from the vines and finally returns the vines to the field .It is believed that it will soon be possible for powerful wind machines to blow oranges off trees .New machines that are now being tested will pickapples,peaches,pears and strawberries.

They had planned either to live in a furnished apartment or to buy used furniture. But they soon learned about a new system that more and more people are using. The renting of home furnishings (bed, tables, dishes, and so on) has become one of America's fastest growing businesses.What kinds of people rent their home furnishings instead of buying them? People who are international business or government officials, foreign students, airline workers, young married couples - people whose job or business may force them to move frequently from one city to another. They save a lot of trouble and the cost of moving their furniture each time. They simply rent new furniture when they reach their new homes. Y oung people with little money do not want to buy cheap furniture that they may soon dislike. They prefer to wait until they have enough money to buy furniture they really like. Meanwhile, they find they can rent better quality furniture than they could afford to buy.One family, who now have a large, beautiful home of their own, liked their rented furniture so much that they decided to keep renting it instead of buying new things. But usually people don't like to tell others about it. The idea of renting home furnishings is still quite new, and they are not sure what their neighbors might think.(1)、Which of the following has become one of America's fastest growing businesses?______________A：Selling home furnishings.B：Renting furnished apartments.C：Selling used furniture.D：Renting home furnishings.答案：D(2)、Why do some people prefer to rent furniture?_______________________A：Because the furniture they get in this way is new.B：Because it saves them a lot of money.C：Because it saves them much trouble and money.D：Because they can always get better quality furniture in this way.答案：C(3)、What can you infer from the passage?_____________________A：The idea of renting furniture is not acceptable.B：Renting furniture is not popular in the couple's home town.C：Only those who don't have enough money to rent furniture.D：People usually grow to like the furniture they have rented.答案：B(4)、Which of the following can best serve as the title of the passage?___________A：Rent or Buy?B：A New Way of Getting Home Furnishings.C：Furnished Apartments.D：A New Idea.答案：B(5)、Young people liked renting home furniture in that___________A：They have less money.B：They don't want to buy old furniture.C：The new furniture is of good quality.D：They don't have much money and don't want to buy the cheap furniture.答案：D2、What makes a person a scientist? Does he have ways or tools of learning that are different from those of others? The answer is "no". It is not the tools a scientist uses but how he uses these tools that makes him a scientist. You will probably agree that knowing how to use a power is important to a carpenter. You will probably agree, too, that knowing how to investigate, how to discover information, is important to everyone. The scientist, however, goes one step further, he must be sure that he has a reasonable answer to his questions and that his answer can be confirmed by other persons. He also works to fit the answers he gets to many questions into a large set of ideas about how the world works.The scientist's knowledge must be exact. There is no room for half right or right just half thetime. He must be as nearly right as the conditions permit. What works under one set of conditions at one time must work under the same conditions at other times. If the conditions are different, any changes the scientist observes in a demonstration must be explained by the changes in the conditions. This is one reason that investigations are important in science. Albert Einstein, who developed the Theory of Relativity, arrived at this theory through mathematics. The accuracy of his mathematics was later tested through investigations, Einstein's ideas were shown to be correct. A scientist uses many tools for measurements. Then the measurements are used to make mathematical calculations that may test his investigations.(1)、What makes a scientist according to the passage? ________A：The tools he uses.B：The way he uses his tools.C：His ways of learning.D：The various tools he uses.答案：B(2)、The underlined part in the passage shows_______.A：the importance of informationB：the importance of thinkingC：the difference between scientists and ordinary peopleD：the difference between carpenters and people with other jobs.答案：C(3)、A sound scientific theory should be one that _________.A：works not only under one set of conditions at one time, but also under the same conditions at other timesB：does not allow any changes even under different conditionsC：can be used for many purposesD：leave no room for improvement答案：A(4)、The author quotes the case of Albert Einstein to illustrate __________.A：that measurements are keys to success in scienceB：that accuracy of mathematicsC：that investigations are important in scienceD：that the mathematical calculations may test his investigations答案：C(5)、What is the main idea of the passage? ________A：The theory of relativity.B：Exactness is the core of science.C：Scientists are different from ordinary people.D：Exactness and ways of using tools are the keys to the making of a scientist.答案： D三、词汇与语法1、What is the train ______ to Birmingham?A：feeB：tipC：fareD：cost答案：C2、Father is busy _____the meal while I am busy with the homework.A：cookingB：to cookC：cookD：with答案：A3、The computer system suddenly while he was searching for information on the Internet.A：broke downB：broke outC：broke upD：broke in答案：A4、A police officer claimed he had attempted to ____ paying his fare.A：avoidB：rejectC：refuseD：neglect5、Never before _______ see such a terrible car accident on the road!A：I haveB：have IC：I didD：did I答案： D四、完型填空1、Strange things happen to time when you travel, because the earth is divided into twenty-four parts, ___21___ a part.
