第二部分　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，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。
A
I think a close friend is someone you get on well with，who helps you when you have problems，who gives you advice，and who always has time for you．I didn’t use to have many close friends when I was at school because I was very shy，but now I have several．They are all women．I think it’s difficult to have a close friend of the opposite sex(异性)．
——Marie
I think a close friend is someone who you’ve known for a long time，and who you still get on with．They have similar hobbies to you so you can do things together．I've got three close friends who I was at middle school with and we often go out together (without our parents of course)．We often go camping，play football，or walk outside in the open air．
——David
I'm not sure how to answer the question because I don’t really have any close friends. I know a lot of people but mainly through work, and the social occasions((场合)when we meet are 
business dinners, things like that. I think if you come from a really close family, friends are a bit unnecessary. I like spending my free time with my family.
——Richard
For me close friends are the people you spend your free time with．I go out at weekends with a group of people，and they are all my close friends．They’re also people who live near me．I don’t think you can have close friends at a distance because you need to be able to see each other often．But I don’t think you need to be doing the same things．I mean I’m at school but none of my friends are．
——Anna
21．Who doesn’t think women and men can be close friends?
A. Marie. B. David. C. Richard. D. Anna.
22．What does Richard say about friends?
A．They need to have much in common． B．They’re less important than family．
C．They must work in the same place． D．They come from social occasions．
23．What do we know about Anna’s friends?
A．They are all women． B．They all do the same things．
C．They do not live far away． D．They are all college students．
B
When you choose a friend，you should be very careful．A good friend can help you study．You can have fun together and make each other happy．Sometimes you will meet fair-weather friends（酒肉朋友）They will be with you as long as you have money or luck, but when you are down, they will run away. How do I know when I have found a good friend? I look for certain qualities of character，especially understanding，honesty and reliability (可靠)．
Above all else，I look for understanding in a friend．A good friend tries to understand how another person is feeling．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，however，a good friend is honest．He does not look for faults (过错) in others．He notices their good points．In short，good friends will be honest to each other and accept each other．
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．
There is a fourth quality that makes a friend special．A special friend is someone with whom we can have fun．We should enjoy our lives，and we would enjoy our friendship．That is why I especially like friends who are fun to be with．A good friend likes the same things I like．We share experience and learn from each other．A good friend has a good sense of humor，too．He likes to laugh with me．That is how we share in the joy of being friends．And I know that he is looking for the same quality in me．
When I meet someone who is reliable，honest，and understanding，I know I’ve found a friend!
24. If you have fair-weather friends， .
A. you will become rich
B. you can be sure that you get real friends
C. you wilI be refused when you get into trouble
D. they will give you all that they have when you need help
25. Which of the following qualities the writer thinks is the most important in choosing a friend?

C
These people come from the poorest places of Kenya. They were beggars and plantation workers. However, they are people with dreams and hopes. Thanks to Jamii Bora, thousands of them are realising their dreams.
The small bank got its start when Ingrid Munro retired from her work. She suggested that poor people should have houses of their own as well. The Swedish-born Munro and her Canadian husband had adopted a homeless boy in 1988. However, he had been run over by a bus and was unable to walk freely.
When Munro worked in the UN, she learned about the lives of the poor, but her deep learning began through the eyes of that boy and increased when she adopted the boy ’s two brothers.
In 1999, she decided to start a small club. The members would be 50 women beggars who had been kind to children. No one imagined it could become so successful that it would turn into Jamii Bora Bank, with over 300,000 customers across Kenya. Munro did not expect that it would turn out to be such a great success.
Instead of employing experts, she has trained those women herself. And she employs ex-beggars, the ones who joined them in the very early days and have come out of poverty. She teaches these beggars how to do everything from the beginning.
What is also different about Jamii Bora is the approach to borrowers. They help families get health and disaster insurance, schooling for their children, and help with housing. They teach business skills so that people can live a better life.
28. The underlined part“Jamii Bora”in Paragraph 1 refers to a .
A. kind lady B.famous Kenyan C.bank in Kenya D. club in Canada
29. The homeless boy mentioned in Paragraph 2 .
A. was born in 1988 in Kenya B lost touch with his two brothers
C. couldn't walk freely since he was born D.helped Munro learn a lot about the poor
30. Why did Munro decide to start a small club?
A.Because she wanted to get to know more people.
B. Because she tried to help poor people in Kenya.
C. Because she wished to help beggars become rich people
D. Because she hoped to collect money for homeless children.
31. What would be the best title for the text?
A. Beggars from Kenya B. Munro and Her Husband
C. From Beggars to Bankers D. Kenya--a Poor Country
D
On a cold night near the end of winter, a lonely voice appears in the air. It starts in watery woodlands, but the sound is loud enough to travel great distances. Days pass, and other voices join the first. What creature makes such a powerful voice? It's a tiny tree frog --- smaller than your thumb --- called a spring peeper(春雨蛙).
When peepers wake from their winter sleep, they crawl out from under last fall's leaves. Then they head for water--lakes and rivers. There, male peepers begin their breeding(繁殖)season by calling for mates.
In many parts of North America, the call of the peepers is one of the first signs of spring. Because their voices sound similar to bells, the frogs have earned another nickname --- the bells of springtime.
Scientists hoping to see these noisy creatures might be disappointed. Not only are spring peepers tiny, but they also have a similar colour to their backgrounds. Their skin changes colour when the air temperature or light changes. Their skin colour can change from gray to yellowish-brown to dark brown --- the colours of old leaves. One thing doesn't change, and it's something that sets peepers apart from other tree frogs: peepers have dark marks on their backs, usually in the shape of an X. Like most tree frogs, peepers have a large sticky disk (吸盘) at the end of each toe. These disks make it easy for them to climb straight up. Other types of frogs can’t do that. Peepers don’t climb high into the trees, but prefer to stay on low-growing plants. Because a peeper doesn’t weigh much, it can stay on a single leaf. When the breeding season ends, the spring peepers leave their waterside homes to return to the woods.
32. Why do peepers head for water after they wake up?
A. Because they go to breed. B. Because they go to drink water.
C. Because they look for their parents. D. Because they want to move their homes.
33. The peepers are hard to see because they .
A. live high in the tree B. often hide under leaves
C. can change colour D. are dying out
34. Peepers are different from other tree fogs in their .
A. small size B. loud voices
C. living habits D. X-shaped dark marks
35. According to the last paragraph, peeper .
A. feed on plants B. are skilled at climbing
C. prefer to live in water D. produce babies in the woods

Signs of a True Friendship
True friends are rare. 36 How can you tell a true friend from a false one? Here are several obvious signs of a friendship.
37
A true friend is a reliable person, and you can have confidence in him. You know that he will not betray(背叛) you or say something bad about you behind your back. You know that the information you share with one another will not be shared with others.
Keep in touch with each other frequently.
38 True friends often keep in touch with each other, whether by phone, social networking sites, e-mail or in-person meetings.
Give without expecting to receive back.
True friends give with no expectations of receiving anything in return. Real friends give their time, love and care without expecting to receive anything back.
Support each other.
A true friendship involves(涉及) two people who support each other no matter what happens. It can be difficult to know how to help a friend who’s facing a difficult situation, though. Call him, even if you don’t think he will answer the phone, and leave an encouraging message he can listen to later. 39 Or send him an e-mail letting him know that you’re there for him if he needs anything.
Accept each other.
Real friends accept each other. A real friend accepts you for who you are, whether you are tall or short, gentle or rude. A real friend may inspire you to be a better person 40 .
A. Believe in each other.
B. Share with each other.
C. You can express your feelings freely.
D. And you may have only a few true friends in your life.
E. Send an encouragement card to your friend when he is in trouble.
F. However, he will not try to change you into the person he thinks you should be.
G. It's difficult to maintain a true friendship if you hardly communicate with each other.

Dear Tim,
I am sorry to know that you are not getting on well with your parents. Here I am writing to give some advice on how to deal with it, and I hope it can help you.
First, it’s quite normal for you to have different opinions with your parents, and you should often have more talks to exchange your ideas so that you can understand each other better. Second, you can be more active to help with housework after school, which will help you know more about their hard work. Third, show immediate thanks to your parents when they do things for you, and also you can think about what you can do for them, especially on the special days like birthdays.
In my opinion, think more for your parents and I think you will get on well with them soon.

Yours xxx
