Love and Friendship
They are both so much related to each other. And both are so dissimilar! What are the differences between friendship and love? Is platonic(柏拉圖式的) friendship possible between persons of the opposite sex? ___小題1:____
What is friendship? Why do we call a person our friend? When do we call someone a very good friend? If we care for a person, if we are always ready to help that person and if we share most of our thoughts with a person, they are our good friends. We can always count upon our good friends in an emergency. We are always sure that our friends will understand why we acted in a certain way. ___小題2: ___ The friendship is so deep and the relationship is so intimate, that most of the things are automatically understood by our friends.
__小題3:____ In a relationship of deep love, all the sharing that we discussed above is taken for granted. But love transcends(超出) all this. During love, we are attached with a particular person, while in friendship, one may have many friends. A loving relationship makes one so much attached to the other that one gets pained if his/her beloved is hurt! Love also involves a physical element. ____小題4:____ This is a vital difference. Nature gives us love so that the species can go forward. Nature does not give us friendship.
Your heart beats will never increase in anticipation of meeting your friend. ___小題5:_____ You will not feel totally lost, if you don’t meet your friend for a few days. You will not have dreams in your eyes thinking about your friend. But in love, you will do all this and much more. Indeed, there is no comparison between love and friendship.
A．What about love?
B．My answer is “Yes”.
C．Let us try and understand.
D．Friendship does not have that.
E.We need not explain anything to our very good friends.
F.You will not lie awake at night thinking about your friend.
G.The physical element may include hand in hand while walking.

小題1:C
小題2:E
小題3:A
小題4:D
小題5:F

試題分析：本文主要講述了友誼和愛情之間的差異。
小題1:C 根據(jù)前一句Is platonic(柏拉圖式的) friendship possible between persons of the opposite sex?可知提出了一個(gè)問題。那么接下來就是對這個(gè)問題的研究。故C項(xiàng)內(nèi)容正確。
小題2:E 根據(jù)前句We are always sure that our friends will understand why we acted in a certain way可知朋友很理解我們，所以我們不需要向朋友解釋太多。故E項(xiàng)正確。
小題3:A 文章第二段解釋了What is friendship?那么本段就解釋了.What about love?故A正確。
小題4:D 根據(jù)前句Love also involves a physical element.和后句This is a vital difference.可知這三句是講述兩者之間的差異。故D項(xiàng)內(nèi)容正確。
小題5:F 根據(jù)后句You will not feel totally lost, if you don’t meet your friend for a few days.可知這幾句都是在講述和朋友的相處以及和愛人的相處的差異。橫線下面幾句可知F項(xiàng)符合上下文。
點(diǎn)評：本文主要講述了友誼和愛情之間的差異。本題的關(guān)鍵在于要根據(jù)上下文的語境來找出串聯(lián)的信息點(diǎn)，把握上下文之間的邏輯關(guān)系，通過前后的意思連貫性及細(xì)致性用心的答題，定能完成的很好。

All the definitions(定義) and facts in a dictionary or book do not convey what friendship is really about. It cannot be understood through   36 . The only way to understand friendship is through experience, which   37  all the senses.
Friendship can be seen. It is seen in an old couple sitting in the park holding hands. It is seen in a child freely   38  the last cookie. It is not   39  to see friendship; it is always there for eyes that can see.
Friendship can be heard. It is heard in the words of two friends squeezing in lunch together on an extremely   40  day although they have a lot of things to do. It is the way they   41  each other, not the words. Friendship can be heard by those willing to listen.
Friendship is   42  in a touch. It is a pat on the back from a teammate, a high five between classes, and the wet kiss from the family dog. The touch   43  more than words or gestures. It is   44  understood and clearly shows the feelings.
Friendship has a taste. It tastes like homemade bread: the ingredients all measured and planned, then carefully   45 , then the quiet   46  as the dough(生面團(tuán)) rises. Hot from the oven, the bread tastes more than the sum of its ingredients   47  there are the thoughts of the baker as her hands mix the flour or her   48  as she waits for the dough to rise.  49  and unmeasured, this is the ingredient that   50 . Warm, fresh from the oven, the difference you taste is   51 .
Friendship has a smell. It smells like the slightly burnt cookies your brother made especially for you. It smells like your home when   52  it after being away for a long tome. Friendship has   53  smells.
Finally, more than the other senses, friendship is a(n)  54  of the heart. It is the language of the heart --- a language that, whether seen, felt, heard, or tasted, is understood by the   55 . Like air fills the lungs, friendship fills the heart, allowing us to experience the best life has to offer: a friend.

Many people influenced various aspects of my life, based on their personal characteristics, accomplishments, and values. I have been fortunate to have had numerous teachers and professors who I respect for their patience and intelligence. There are artists that have inspired me by their natural talents and original creativity. I value many political leaders, who have inspired me by their contributions to society, and their ability to change our futures. But of all the people I have known in my life, the person I admire most is my father.
As the youngest girl in my family, I always considered myself to be“Daddy’s little girl”. While I grew up, it always made me sad to see so many of my friends and neighbors without a father or father-like figure around. This helped me appreciate how my father always takes an interest in his children’s lives. In every aspect of my life my father continuously pushes me to excel, so I could accomplish my work outstandingly among my people. Whenever I feel like giving up, or have a question or a concern, I know I can always call on him for advice. From him I have also learned that sometimes you have to put others’ needs ahead of your own, but you should make sure you are not taken advantage of by others. His strength seems to be unbreakable during hard times, and he is extremely determined to accomplish anything he sets his mind on, no matter how tiny it is. I highly respect him for how he stands up for what he believes in, and will never back down. I have always admired his open mind, compassion(同情) for people, and sense of understanding. He is a very reserved(保留的) man, but to everybody’s surprise, he has a great sense of humor, and always knows how to put a smile on the faces of his wife, his children and his friends.
Living in his affection and instruction, I am very proud of my father. He also professes (聲稱) how proud he is of his children, and is still there to support us in whatever we are involved in.

People often view the “l(fā)ast” moments of an event positively simply because they signal the end of an experience, say experts.
University of Michigan researchers found that even if an experience is painful or negative, but ends on a good note, people will consider it to be positive.
“Endings are powerful,” said Ed O’Brien, a graduate student in the Department of Psychology at the University of Michigan.
O’Brien and colleague Phoebe Ellsworth, the Frank Murphy Distinguished Professor of Law and Psychology, conducted a chocolate tasting experiment with 52 college students to test the theory.
Volunteers could taste five different Hershey’s Kisses chocolates—milk, dark, cream, caramel and almond – but did not know in advance how many pieces they would eat or the type. Participants rated how much they enjoyed the chocolate and described each flavor so that the researchers could record the order in which the randomly (隨機(jī)的) selected treats were eaten.
Volunteers were assigned to the “next” or the “l(fā)ast ” condition by chance.
In the “next” condition, the experimenter said “Here is your next chocolate” before offering each chocolate, including the fifth.
For the “l(fā)ast” condition, the experimenter said “Here is your last chocolate” before offering  the fifth chocolate.
These participants rated the fifth chocolate more enjoyable than volunteers in the “next” condition.
As predicted, participants who knew they were eating the final chocolate of a taste test enjoyed it more.
In fact, when asked to pick their favorite chocolate, the majority of “l(fā)ast” participants chose the fifth – even though the flavor of the fifth was randomly chosen.
They also rated the overall experience as more enjoyable than volunteers who thought they were just eating one more chocolate in a series.
O’Brien says these findings may have far-reaching implications. For example, the last book or film in a series or the last speaker in a symposium (研討會) may receive unwarranted praise.
The last job applicant, meanwhile, may look more qualified.
小題1:Which of the following is TRUE about the experiment?
A．The majority of “l(fā)ast” participants chose the almond flavor as their favorite.
B．Some participants enjoyed the experiment more because the last flavor tasted better.
C．The result would be different if researchers had used another brand of chocolate.
D．Some participants didn’t know it was their last chocolate when offered the fifth one.
小題2:What does the underlined word “unwarranted” in the second-to-last paragraph mean?
A．Fake. B．Unwanted. C．Unreasonable. D．Insincere.
小題3:Which of the following is the best title for the article?
A．“Last” is the best.
B．Why “l(fā)ast” matters most.
C．It is the last step that is the hardest.
D．He who laughs last laughs best.

When I was 15, I had an enemy, a girl who liked to point out my short-comings(缺點(diǎn)). Week by week her list grew. I was skinny(瘦的), I talked too loud, I was too proud, and so on. I put up with(忍受)her as long as I could. At last, I ran to my father in tears and anger. He listened to my outburst quietly. They he asked, “Are the things she says the true or not?”True? I wanted to know how to strike back. What did truth have to do with it?
“Mary, didn’t you ever wonder what you are really like? Well, you now have that girl’s opinion. ”Go and make a list of every thing she said and mark the points that are true. You needn’t pay attention to the other things she said.
I did as he told me and discovered to my surprise that about half the things are true. Some of them I couldn’t change(like being skinny), but a good number I could and suddenly wanted to change. For the time in my life I began to get a quiet clear picture of myself.
I brought the list back to Daddy, but he wouldn’t take it.“That’s just for you,”he said.“You know better than any else the truth about yourself, once you hear it. But you’ve got to learn to listen, not close your ears in anger or hurt. When someone says something about you, you’ll know if it’s true or not. If it is ,you’ll find it will echo(共鳴)inside you.”
“I still don’t think it very nice of her to talk about me in front of everybody.”
“Mary, there is one way you could stop others talking about you ever again, and criticizing(批評) you—just say nothing and do nothing. But then, if you do that, you’d find you were nothing. You wouldn’t like that now, would you?”“No, I admitted(承認(rèn))”
小題1:One day the writer ran to her father in tears and anger because__________.
A．she found she talked too much.B．she found she was too proud.

B．not to pay attention to what her“enemy”said about her.
C．to pay attention only to the points that were true about her.

B．most of the things her“enemy”said were true.
C．few of the things her“enemy”said were true.

Mistakes are a part of life. To err is human. Failure is also a part of life, not the end of life. Be happy facing life’s challenges. When you make the effort to be happy and to improve your life, you are actually rewarded along the way.
Life is like a game and maybe you can award points for every effort that has been a success for you. Try it. Add ten points for every achievement. And when you have reached 50 points, just yell, “Hey, I’ve won!” and give yourself a reward. If you happen to have missed your points for whatever reason, tell yourself, “Well, I tried!” which is better than not trying at all. Don’t let it be said you didn’t try.
What is it that you want to make yourself happy? Actually happiness means different things to different people. For example, an athlete will be happy winning his first race. For a new mother happiness would be seeing her baby’s first steps. Happiness for a poor person would mean having a meal just for today. So happiness for you is really something simple that you want for yourself.
It really doesn’t have to be big. As a matter of fact, you should be always realistic(現(xiàn)實(shí)的). Make the best out of every given situation. If you expect a certain result from a situation and it does not happen, don’t get despondent. This just means trying harder next time. We all have in us the power to succeed. Don’t let “give up” be a part of your vocabulary.
小題1:By saying “To err is human”, the author means that____________.
A．human beings should try to avoid making mistakes
B．no one is perfect and everyone makes mistakes
C．mistakes and failures make up our life
D．human beings make mistakes easily
小題2:What’s the main idea of Paragraph 2?
A．Try to reach 50 points.B．Try to get as many points as you can.
C．Award yourself for your successD．Don’t be afraid of missing your points.
小題3:The author proves his idea in Paragraph 3 through____________.
A．examplesB．numbersC．experimentsD．stories
小題4:The underlined word “despondent” in the last paragraph means____________.
A．frightenedB．disappointedC．surprisedD．excited

“To be or not to be.” Outside the Bible, these six words are the most famous in all the literature of the world. They were spoken by Hamlet when he was thinking aloud, and they are the most famous words in Shakespeare because Hamlet was speaking not only for himself but also for every thinking man and woman. To be or not to be, to live or not to live, to live richly and abundantly, or to live dully and meanly. A philosopher once wanted to know whether he was alive or not, which is a good question for everyone to put to himself occasionally. He answered it by saying: “I think, therefore I am.”
　　But the best definition of existence I ever saw was one written by another philosopher who said: “To be is to be in relations.” If this is true, then the more relations a living thing has, the more it is alive. To live abundantly means simply to increase the range and intensity(強(qiáng)烈) of our relations. Unfortunately we are so constituted that we get to love our routine. But other than our regular occupation, how much are we alive? If you are interested only in your regular occupation, you are alive only to that extent. So far as other things are concerned --- poetry and prose(散文), music, pictures, sports, unselfish friendships, politics, international affairs ---you are dead.
On the contrary, it is true that every time you acquire a new interest --- even more, a new accomplishment(成就) --- you increase your power of life. No one who is deeply interested in different kinds of subjects can remain unhappy. The real pessimist is the person who has lost interest.
　　Bacon said that a man dies as often as he loses a friend. But we gain new life by contacts with new friends, and new ideas and thoughts, too. Where your thoughts are, there will be your life too. If your thoughts are limited only to your business, only to your physical welfare, only to your narrow circle of the town in which you live, then you live a narrow restricted(有限的, 受約束的) life. But if you are interested in what is going on in China, then you are living in China. If you’re interested in the characters of a good novel, then you are living with those highly interesting people. If you listen intently to fine music, you are away from your immediate surroundings and living in a world of passion and imagination.
To be or not to be --- to live intensely and richly, or merely to exist, which depends on ourselves. Let us widen and intensify our relations. While we live, let us live!
小題1:What does the author mainly want to do by this passage?
A．Argue against an idea.
B．Explain some famous sayings.
C．Introduce some famous sayings.
D．Put forward an idea.
小題2:What does the underlined word most probably mean?
A．Somebody who always lives in a world of passion and imagination.
B．Somebody who is always interested in making new friends.
C．Somebody who always expects the worst to happen.
D．Somebody who likes to live a rich and abundant life.
小題3:Which of the following behavior is probably NOT encouraged by the author?
A．Thinking more than your own business.
B．Caring only about your physical welfare.
C．Reading good novels.
D．Listening to fine music.
小題4:What is the main idea of the passage?
A．To be is to be in relations.
B．I think, therefore I am.
C．To be or not to be, that is a question.
D．A man dies as often as he loses a friend.
