Friendships are some of the most important relationships that we will ever have in our lives. But how to build a solid friendship? Here are five tips for you.
Tip 1. _____
True friendships can only be built in honesty. This is more than just telling the truth. Being real and open about who you are and your thoughts and feelings are a part of building a solid friendship. If your “friends” don’t even really know you, who are they really friends with?
Tip 2. Shared Experiences
As you build your friendship, you will share many experiences together. Some of these may be great adventures or hard times that the two of you go through together. These shared experiences are things that you will laugh about, talk about, and cry about no matter how much time passes.
Tip 3. Sacrificial(犧牲精神的)love
Love is the basis(基礎(chǔ))of all solid relationships. I am not referring to the emotion(情感) of love, but to the action of love. Love is what will cause a friend to get out of bed in the middle of the night to help another. Love is what will put aside someone’s own wants to make sure that their friend is alright.
Tip 4. Understanding
When a friendship is solid, it will be based on each other’s understanding. You may not agree with everything that a friend says or does, but you will be able to put yourself into his or her shoes to begin to understand. Offering understanding to a friend is very important, as it allows them to feel that they have someone in their corner that they can talk to and who will offer advice and suggestions, without having to worry that if they don’t always follow it, the friendship will be lost.
Tip 5. Acceptance
A solid friendship is one in which two people accept one another, faults and all, for just who they are. There is no having to build up false excuses, or hide away the “dark secrets” from one another. We accept each other as whole, complete, and totally unique people.
小題1:What’s the best title of Tip 1?
A.Introduction of yourself.B.Telling the truth
C.HonestyD.True friendships
小題2:Which tip can remind us of an English proverb “Love me, love my dog”?
A.Tip 2.B.Tip 3.C.Tip 4.D.Tip 5.
小題3:What’s the meaning of the underlined part “put yourself into his or her shoes” in Tip 4?
A.Exchange your shoes with his or hers.B.Try on his or her shoes.
C.Put yourself in his or her position.D.Force yourself.
小題4:What’s the best title of the whole passage?
A.A solid friendshipB.The most important relationships
C.Five tips for youD.Tips on how to build a solid friendship

LONDON: What could possibly be wrong with planting trees? The benefits are obvious; they  firm the soil, soak up (攝取) extra water and take carbon dioxide (二氧化碳) out of the atmosphere.
However, it now turns out that planting trees could add to global warming.
Tree roots do a great job of keeping soil firmly on the ground and out of the wind’s power. The problem is that some of those dust clouds play an important part in taking in carbon dioxide.
Huge dust storms blow out over the oceans from dry parts of North Africa and central Asia. Tons of dust are lifted and left as a thin film over the ocean surface. The dust fuels oceanic life.
Dust from China is carried east and left in the Pacific Ocean. If a tree-planting programme there is successful and the dust supply reduced, the final result may be that less carbon dioxide gets locked away in the ocean.
Andy Ridgwell, an environmental scientist from the University of East Anglia, has spent the past few years studying dust and says his work “shows clearly the complexity of the system and the importance of not tinkering(粗劣地修補(bǔ)) with it without understanding the results. For this reason the need is to focus(集中) on cutting carbon dioxide giving off rather than monkeying (瞎弄) about with the land surface.”
An American scientist, Robert Jackson, has shown that when native grassland areas are invaded(侵入) by trees, carbon is lost from the soil. “We are studying why the soil carbon disappears, but one theory is that trees do a lot more of their growing above ground compared to grasses, so less carbon goes directly into the soil from trees, ” says Jackson.
In wet areas of the world, the gain from trees absorbing carbon dioxide above ground seems to be outweighed(超過(guò)) by the loss of carbon from the soil below ground. Countries that plan to combat global warming by planting trees may have to think again.
Solutions to environmental problems are often more complex than they first appear, and understanding the Earth’s climate is a very great challenge.
小題1:People usually hold the opinion that_____________.
A.huge dust storms can destroy carbon dioxide
B.huge dust storms can destroy the oceans on the earth
C.huge dust storms can’t do anything beneficial for man
D.planting trees is the only way to control huge dust storms
小題2: Andy Ridgwell, the environmental scientist, believes that_____________.
A.dust plays a more important part than trees
B.trees shouldn’t have been planted in dry places
C.carbon dioxide is harmful to everything on the earth
D.environmental problems are more complex than expected
小題3: Robert Jackson’s experiment proves that_____________.
A.grassland areas should be covered by forests
B.trees hold more carbon than grasses
C.carbon can turn grass into dust
D.less carbon can make trees grow faster

People live in different parts of the world and lead different types of lives. Their lifestyles change across the different areas in the world. What is the difference between a city and country life? Let us see.
We can see the modern facilities everywhere in the city like the Internet, telephone, television and satellite communication facilities are widely available in the city. A majority of families in the city are enjoying this technological advancement.
The increasing population has led to an imbalance in human population. More and more industries have led to environmental problems like pollution.
However, the rise in economic growth has resulted in a self-centered nature of society. While technological advancement has brought the world closer, human beings have gone far apart from each other.
The country is not crowded with constructions all over. Houses are rather widely spaced with enough room for fields and gardens. The country is the only area fortunate enough to house the greens. People in the country live in close to nature. Apart from people, there is room for pets and animals that help keep a balance in nature.
Due to a lesser number of people in the country, it is not overcrowded by people. These areas have least amounts of pollution. Pollution is less also because of very less number of industries in the country. The life may not be as enjoyable as that in the city, but the people there are generous, kind and friendly. The country is the one where humanity(人性) is still alive.
Every coin has two sides to it. While we can’t enjoy expensive things and technology in the country, it is rich in its relationship with ‘nature’. The city life is modern in technology and career opportunities. However, the falling humanity and a bad environmental balance affect the bright future of city life.
小題1:What’s the main purpose of the passage? _________.
A.To persuade more people to live in the country.
B.To inform us of some information about a better life.
C.To tell us differences between city life and country life.
D.To explain why people don’t want to live in the city.
小題2:Which of the following shows the right structure of the passage? __________.
①                   ①                                       ①
A.②③④⑤⑥B.②③④⑤⑥⑦C.①②③④⑤⑥D.④⑤⑥②③
⑦                                           ⑦                ⑦
小題3: According to the passage, the main reason for pollution is ____________.
A.technology and economyB.population and industries
C.population and humanityD.industries and balance.
小題4:The underlined word in the fifth paragraph most probably refers to ___________.

A.it’s up to you whether to choose city life or country life.
B.both city life and country life have advantages and disadvantages.
C.more and more people will move to the country in the future.
D.the young prefer city life while the old choose country life.

In many parts of the world,cars play an important role in daily life and many societies would not exist without them. So the idea that in 20 years’ time, no one will own cars may be hard to believe. But this is the prediction made by a team of transport researchers who are taken seriously, not only by government but also by car manufacturers.
The Human Science and Advanced Technology Institute at Loughborough in the UK is part of an international research program. The team there believes that by 2020 all cars will be computerized, which will mean much saving,no accidents and better use of roads. The super-intelligent car of the 21st century will drive itself, and it will not be owned by one individual. Instead, we will have a choice of cars and change them as frequently as we change our clothing.
According to Dr. David Davis,who leads the research team, these predictions are based on the rising cost of the car culture, which had blocked up our cities, polluted our air, and caused more deaths than both world wars put together.
Davis says cars will be fitted with some intelligent devices to regulate the distance between one car and another. The car will automatically speed up, or slow down, to match the speed of the car in front. Computers are much safer drivers than people, so cars in a road train will be able to drive much closer together than cars driven by people. By 2010, Dr. David Davis believes, car technology will give motorists a clear view of the road, whatever the weather conditions, by projecting an image of the road ahead on to the car’s windscreen. And by 2020, cars will travel in convoy linked to each other electronically. Cars will be connected by an electronic tow bar to the car in front to form “road-trains”. “The front vehicle in such a train burns the normal amount.” says Davis. “But all the others in the train would bum about ten percent 0f the normal amount, and so produce about ten percent of the pollution.”
小題1: We know from the passage that governments and car manufacturers        .
   A. do not believe the prediction that no one will own cars by 2020
   B. are devoted to the technological revolution in car industry
C. consider the predictions seriously
   D. have put the super-intelligent car into mass production
小題2: Which of the following will be the characteristic of the cars of 2020?
   A. The car will speed up out of control.
   B. We will own as many cars as we want.
C. All cars will be driven by computers.
D. Cars will produce more pollution than present ones.
小題3:The leader of the research team believes that the present car culture will change because        .
A. cars play a very important role in daily life
B. many societies would stop functioning without cars
C. cars should not be owned by one individual
D. it causes many deaths to human society
小題4:The expression closest in meaning to the phrase “in convoy” in the last paragraph is        .
A. in line         B. sidelong
C. side by side     D. shoulder to shoulder
小題5: What will happen if cars are joined to each other electronically in 2020?
A. Motorists will get a clear view of the road.
B. The weather condition will not have effect on motorists.
C. There will be less pollution caused by car.
D. All trains will burn less fuel than present.

Goals can help you do, be and experience everything you want in life. Instead of just letting life happen to you, goals allow you to make your life happen.
Successful and happy people have an idea of how their life should be and they set lots of goals to help them succeed. By setting goals you are taking control of your life. It’s like having a map to show you where you want to go. Think of it this way. There are two drivers. One has a destination in mind which is laid out for her on a map. She can drive straight there without any wasted time or wrong turns. The other driver has no goal or destination or map. She starts off at the same time from the same place as the first driver, but she drives without an aim around, never getting anywhere, just using up gas and oil. Which driver do you want to be?
Winners in life set goals and follow through on them. Winners decide what they want in life and then get there by making plans and setting goals. Unsuccessful people just let life happen by accident. Goals aren’t difficult to set―and they aren’t difficult to reach. It’s up to you to find out what your goals and ideals(理想)really are.
Research tells us that when we write a goal down, we are more likely to achieve. Written goals can be reviewed regularly,and have more power. Like a contract with yourself, they are harder to neglect(忽視)or forget. Also when you write your goals in a particular way, you are able to make yourself be continuously alert(警覺(jué))to situations that will further your goals.
小題1:The writer gave the example of two drivers to show                .
A.how stupid the first driver wasB.the importance of having a map and right direction
C.how stupid the second driver wasD.the importance of setting goals
小題2:According to the passage, successful people are different from unsuccessful ones because   .
A.the successful people set goals for everything and can get help from others
B.the unsuccessful people always set unrealistic plans for themselves
C.the successful people set goals in their lives and make plans to carry it out
D.the unsuccessful people make plans for everything but can not work hard
小題3:According to the passage, the most important thing in realizing one’s ideal is to      .
A.try to be realistic about one’s ability
B.let others help him or her to make his or her dream come true
C.let others understand him or her first,then work together with them
D.have a clear mind of what he or she wants in life
小題4:Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A.Goals can make you gain everything you want in life
B.Only successful people can be happy
C.If you want to succeed,you need a set long-term goals instead of short-term Goals

In today's world of cell phones, mini laptops and MP3 players, most people have at least one time-telling tool with them. Since these devices are so common, is time running out for the 500-year-old watch? According to some consumers, yes. New Jersey teenager Charlie Wollman says a watch is "an extra piece of equipment with no necessary function." Many young adults agree ─ and use their cell phones to tell time. Louis Galie, a senior vice president at Timex, said that fewer young people wear watches today than five years ago. As a result, some people claim that the watch industry is at a crossroads.
However, watchmakers optimistically say that watches regain popularity when consumers reach their 20s and 30s. By then, they are willing to spend money on a quality timepiece that doesn't just keep good time. Fifty years ago, watchmakers boasted(自夸) about their products' accuracy. But in recent years, the watch industry has transformed itself into an accessory(附件,配件) business. And for many today, the image(外形) a watch communicates has become more important than the time it tells.
"Complications" ─ features that go beyond simple timekeeping ─ are an important part of a watch's image. Today's watches offer a host of features that suit almost any personality. These features include altitude trackers(追蹤器), compasses(指南針), lunar calendars, USB drives, and even devices that measure the effectiveness of golf swings!
Creativity is also a key element in today's watches. For example, Japanese watchmaker Tokyoflash makes watches that don't even look like watches. The company's popular Shinshoku model uses different color lights to tell the time. It looks more like a futuristic bracelet(手鐲) than a watch. Another Japanese watchmaker, EleeNo, makes a "handless" watch. Using a ring of circles to keep time, this watch makes an excellent conversation piece.
Whether a watch communicates fashion sense, creative flair or a love of sports, consumers want their timepieces to stand out. Nowadays, everyone has the same kind of gadget in their bags, so people want to make a statement with what's on their wrists(手腕). Will this interest in wrist fashion last? Only time will tell!
小題1:Why aren’t watches popular with young people as before?
A.Because watches cannot keep good time as cell phones, mini laptops and MP3 players.
B.Because watches are featured by the disadvantages of simple function
C.Because watches are too expensive to afford.
D.Because watches don’t have beautiful appearance as other modern time telling tools.
小題2: What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 1 mean?
A.Watching-making is facing a survival crisis challenge.
B.Watching-making is faced with the developing opportunity.
C.Watching-making becomes the sun rising industry.
D.Watching-making has a specific development target.
小題3: It can be implied that ____________________.
A.people will gradually lose interest in watches as they grow older
B.watchmakers hardly change the development strategy for watches
C.today’s watches are better than those in the past in quality
D.customers used to be more concerned with the quality of a watch than with its image.
小題4:The following qualities can make a watch popular EXCEPT _________.
A.multifunctionB.a(chǎn)ccuracyC.nice designD.low price
小題5:What’s the best title of the passage?
A.Watches and TeenagersB.The History of Watches
C.The Accuracy of WatchesD.Watches Tell More Than Time

Malaria, the world’s most widespread parasitic (寄生蟲(chóng)引起的)disease, kills as many as three million people every year—almost all of whom are under five, very poor, and African. In most years, more than five hundred million cases of illness result from the disease, although exact numbers are difficult to assess because many people don't (or can’t) seek care. It is not unusual for a family earning less than two hundred dollars a year to spend a quarter of its income on malaria treatment, and what they often get no longer works. In countries like Tanzania, Mozambique, and the Gambia, no family, village, hospital, or workplace can remain unaffected for long.        
Malaria starts suddenly, with violent chills, which are soon followed by an intense fever and, often, headaches. As the parasites multiply, they take over the entire body. Malaria parasites live by eating the red blood cells they infect. They can also attach themselves to blood vessels in the brain. If it doesn’t kill you, malaria can happen again and again for years. The disease is passed on to humans by female mosquitoes infected with one of four species of a parasite. Together, the mosquito and the parasite are the most deadly couple in the history of the earth and one of the most successful. Malaria has five thousand genes, and its ability to change rapidly to defend itself and resist new drugs has made it nearly impossible to control. Studies show that mosquitoes are passing on the virus more frequently, and there are more outbreaks in cities with large populations. Some of the disease's spread is due to global warming.
For decades, the first-choice treatment for malaria parasites in Africa has been chloroquine, a chemical which is very cheap and easy to make. Unfortunately, in most parts of the world, malaria parasites have become resistant to it. Successful alternatives that help prevent resistance are already available, but they have been in short supply and are very expensive. If these drugs should fail, nobody knows what would come next.  
小題1:According to paragraph 1, many people don’t seek care because ________.
A.they are too poor
B.it is unusual to seek care
C.they can remain unaffected for long
D.there are too many people suffering from the disease
小題2:People suffering from malaria ________.
A.have to kill female mosquitoesB.have ability to defend parasites
C.have their red blood cells infectedD.have sudden fever, followed by chills
小題3:Which of the following may be the reason for the wide spread of the disease?
A.Its resistance to global warming.
B.Its ability to pass on the virus frequently.
C.Its outbreaks in cities with large populations.
D.Its ability to defend itself and resist new drugs.
小題4: It can be inferred from the passage that ________.
A.no drugs have been found to treat the disease
B.the alternative treatment is not easily available to most people
C.malaria has developed its ability to resist parasites
D.nobody knows what will be the drug to treat the disease

After a very busy afternoon, as I walked into my house, I heard the phone ringing. It was my friend Lydia, upset over an argument with her husband. My usual approach is to offer advice, but this time, extremely tired from chores, I simply pulled off my coat, sat down in a chair and listened to my friend's frustration and sadness. Without the disturbance of judgment or the desire to comfort her, I stayed totally quiet while she talked. Eventually Lydia's depression eased and we said our goodbyes. The next day she phoned to thank me. "I'm so grateful for the way you helped me through this," she said.
At first I was surprised. After all, I had done nothing except be there for her. But after I had my own venting(發(fā)泄的) experience with another friend later that evening, I realized that my focused silence had some value. In fact, most relationship experts agree that talk is cheap; it's listening that's rare and valuable. It allows you not only to hear what the other person is saying, but also to have a clear understanding of her thoughts and feelings. And for the speaker, that level of understanding translates into concern and respect.
Unfortunately, listening isn't as easy as it sounds. Thanks to schedules filled with family and work, multitasking has become the barrier(障礙) to listening. My tiredness may have been the only thing stopping me from folding laundry or checking my e-mail while Lydia talked that afternoon.
Another barrier to listening is our listening system: Most of us take in only about half of what's being said during a conversation, according to the International Listening Association. Research shows that we speak at 125 to 150 words per minute, yet think at 500 words a minute. Therefore, because we think much more quickly than we speak, it is easy for us to lose our concentration when listening to speakers.
While it can be hard to focus at times, it's a skill worth developing. With a little practice — employing some techniques— you can become a better listener.
小題1: In Paragraph 2, the author mainly talks about ____.
A.the importance of listeningB.the importance of venting anger
C.her own listening experienceD.her own venting experience
小題2:The author uses the result of the research in Paragraph 4 to mainly show that ____.
A.we think much more quickly than we speak
B.we can only understand about half of what we hear
C.there is not much thinking time available while we are listening
D.we lose our concentration easily while we are listening
小題3: What will be discussed following the passage?
A.Why listening is valuable.B.What we should do while listening
C.How to become a good listenerD.How to stop drifting off while listening.
