第一部分 阅读理解(共两节,满分50分)
第一节 (共15小题;每小题2.5分,满分37.5分)
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。
A
When asked to point out one or two things that are the most important to themselves, many put friends ahead of homes, jobs, clothes and cars.
A true friendship carries a long history of experience that determines who we are and keeps us connected.It is a treasure we should protect.Unfortunately, the better friends you are, the more probably you'll have disagreements.And the result can be what you don't want, an end to the relationship.
The good news is that most troubled friendships can be mended.First, don't let your pride get in your way.Most of us can forgive each other when differences are brought out in the open.Second, apologize when you're wrong—even if you've been wronged.Over the course of a friendship, even the best people make mistakes.Sometimes, it may be best if the wronged person takes the lead and apologizes.When you apologize, give your friend a chance to admit that he has been wrong.Third, see things from your friend's point of view.And finally, accept that friendships change as our needs and lifestyles change.Making friends can sometimes seem easy.The hard part is keeping the connections strong during the natural ups and downs that have an effect on all relationships.My suggestion: consider the friendship an honor and a gift, and worth the effort to treasure and nurture(培养).
1.What would be the best title for the text?
A.Easy Ways to Make Friends
B.Ups and Downs is Friendship
C.How to Mend a Troubled Friendship
D.How to Take the Lead in Making Friends
2."Wronged person" underlined in the text refers to a person ________.
A.who has been mistaken for another
B.who has been blamed unfairly
C.who has treated friends badly
D.who has admitted his mistakes
3.What should we do if we follow the author's second suggestion?
A.Stick to our own point of view.
B.Avoid making mistakes.
C.Make an apology first.
D.Change our lifestyles.

I had just delivered a memorable speech, and I was about to learn how the judges decided my performance.The audience leaned forward and a period of silence fell across the room.I felt the drum rolled in my heart.
The third-place winner was announced.The name was not mine.Then the second-place winner, still not me.At last, the moment of truth came.I was about to either enjoy the warmth of victory or regret the months' preparation.My heart felt closer to the latter.
Losing is a part of life, and I have dealt with it on more than one occasion.However, it was an indescribable feeling to drive a 200-mile round trip, get up very early on a freezing Saturday morning, and yet still finish fourth out of four competitors in my group.After Lincoln lost the 1858 Illinois Senate race, he said, "I felt like the 12-year-old boy who kicked his toe.I was too big to cry and it hurt too bad to laugh." Oh yeah, I could relate.
I had spent many hours in front of a computer and in libraries doing research for the Lincoln Bicentennial Speech Contest.After not placing in the first year of the contest, I really wanted to compete again.Lincoln had many failures, but he never allowed them to defeat his spirit or ambition, so I was not going to give up on a second contest! I reworked my speech for the following year, but again I did not place.
I couldn't accept the fact that I failed twice in something that I had worked so hard on, until I thought about my hero.Never mind the lost prize money and praise—through learning stories about Lincoln, I discovered that I can fail successfully.
4.How did the author feel after finishing his speech?
A.Annoyed. B.Nervous. C.Confused. D.Hopeful.
5.What can be inferred from Paragraph 3?
A.He was regretful about his not being fully prepared.
B.He felt upset for getting up early on a chilly morning.
C.He once kicked and hurt his toe when he was 12 years old.
D.He turned out to be the last one of his group in the contest.
6.Which of the following can best describe the author?
A.Tough and strong-willed. B.Determined and talented.
C.Enthusiastic and generous. D.Hardworking and attractive.
7.What is the main idea the author wants to convey to us?
A.Never mind others' judgments.
B.Don't rely too much on others.
C.Stand up from where we tripped over.
D.Learn to appreciate the highlight in life.
C

In one of the old buildings near our school, one could see an old man sitting by a large window on the first floor.His name was James.During the three years at school, I had hardly ever found him missing from his usual position.
He was a high-ranking government official and lived happily with his wife.Once there was a bus accident, in which a number of passengers were seriously injured and were taken to the hospital for treatment.James was responsible for the rescue operation.It was a big hospital, but James was shocked to notice how ill-equipped it was.There were no enough life-saving drugs and life-supporting equipment.The injured and their companions had to struggle there.James attempted to help.However, though he emptied his pockets, many of them died that day.
That was a turning point in his life.He made a decision to devote his life to helping others, particularly the poor and needy patients and their companions.He began spending much of his income on these people.Since this required a lot of time and energy, he found it difficult to fulfill his official duties and therefore chose to retire, which, in turn, reduced his income considerably.
His wife was deeply worried.Most of the time, James was out and paid least attention to home affairs.Meanwhile, as he was spending a lot helping others, she had to struggle even to meet the household expenses.Though she was not opposed to his helping the poor, she urged him not to overlook his own life and home, but it had no effect on him.One day they had a heated argument and in the end she left him, never to return.Though he continued with his work, this was a great blow and did serious harm to his health and enthusiasm and he was soon forced to stay indoors.That was when he took his position by the window, spending his time looking outside.
A few weeks after my graduation, I returned to school, only to find the buildings gone.I heard that they were torn down.All the people left except James.He refused to go and the next morning, he was found at his usual place by the window, dead.
12.What changed James' view towards life?
A.The difficulties in his career. B.The deaths in the bus accident.
C.The bad conditions in the hospital. D.The responsibilities in the operation.
13.James chose to retire in order to _________.
A.take care of the injured passengers
B.find a better job to increase his income
C.spare more time and energy to help others
D.stay away from the difficult official duties
14.James' wife left because ________.
A.she was strongly against his deeds
B.James paid too little attention to his work
C.her work to support their daily life was too tiring
D.James failed to keep a balance between charity and home
15.The underlined word "this" in Paragraph 4 refers to ________.
A.his decision to retire B.the departure of his wife
C.the argument with his wife D.his devotion to helping others

How to Beat the Procrastination Habit
I am a procrastinator (拖延症患者).I always have been.I've tried all sorts of things to beat the habit.Here are some techniques I've been using.

阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Peter, a 5-year-old boy, showed such great interest in sea shells that he would rush to pick them up with his 3-year-old sister, Shirley.They screamed out their joy as Peter collected his treasure into his pockets.For Peter, sea shells lay shinning on the peaceful beach, waiting for him, just like stars twinkling(闪烁) in the sky.As waves touched them, they seemed to be flowers blooming(绽放) in gentle wind.
One day, Peter was wandering through market with Shirley, with some shells in his pocket.Suddenly Peter found his younger sister was lagging(落后) behind.He stopped and looked back, finding Shirley was standing in front of a toy shop and was staring at something with great interest.
The boy went back to her and asked, "What do you want?" Shirley pointed at the doll, wearing a smile on her innocent face.Peter held his younger sister's tiny hand, walking into the shop.He tiptoed(踮起脚尖) to reach for the doll, and like a responsible elder brother, gave the precious doll to Shirley.Holding tightly the doll, the sister was very very happy.
The shopkeeper was watching everything and getting amused to see the matured(成熟的) behavior of the boy.Now the boy came to the counter and asked the shopkeeper, "How much does this doll cost, Sir?"
The shopkeeper was a cool man, who had suffered from something in his life.So he asked the boy with love and affection, "Well, what can you pay?" Peter reached into his clothes for money that was intended for these two little guys' breakfast.Having counted the money, Peter put it carefully on the counter, asking again, "Sir, is it enough for my little sister's doll?"
The amusing scene just in front of the shopkeeper eventually brought a smile on his face.Shaking his head slightly, he replied, "My boy, I am afraid it seems not to be enough."

第一节
答案:
Today, we carried out an experiment in chemistry class.We did the experiment with the purpose of discovering if there is a change in weight when aluminum is heated in air.To carry out the experiment, what we need are a piece of aluminum, a Bunsen burner, a balance, and a crucible.We did the experiment following the procedures below.
Well, first, we put a piece of aluminum in the crucible.Then we put the crucible on the balance and weighed it.Next, we lit the Bunsen burner.After that, we held the crucible over the flame.Lastly, we weighed the crucible with the piece of aluminum in it again, and found that the weight of the piece of aluminum did change.
From this experiment, we came to the conclusion that when aluminum is heated in air, there is a change in weight.

Para 1:
With his eyes fixed on Peter's pocket, he wondered what Peter would do.Watching Shirley's Smile fading away, Peter frowned.After a while, he seemed to make up his mind.He took out all the shells from his pocket, giving them to the shopkeeper, who took them and started to count as if he had been counting the money.Then he looked at Peter.Peter asked him, "Is it enough now?" The shopkeeper replied, "These are more than the cost." Saying so, he kept only two shells and returned the remaining and the money.Peter put those shells back into his pocket very happily, leaving with Shirley holding the doll tightly.
Para 2:
Seeing Peter leaving happily with his sister holding the doll tightly, an assistant in that shop got surprised.He asked the shopkeeper, "Sir! You only charge them for 2 shells?!" The shopkeeper said with a smile, "For us these are shells, but for the boy they are treasures.His love for his sister is the most precious." Watching the lovely kids until they were out of sight, he continued, "When he grows up, he will remember he purchased a doll for his sister with the shells from a shopkeeper.He will cherish love and warmth in life--cherish every little shining sea shell in his heart."
