17、，分数：0.00)八、Passage One(总题数：1，分数：10.00)Tired of doing the same things week in week out with the same people having the same conversations? You“re in a friendship rut(老一套), but help is at hand. Get the spark back: Do something different together, like joining a club or an evening class. It will make y
18、ou both busy and give you something new to talk about! Make some new friends. They“ll bring new life into your circle of friends and offer fresh ideas for things to do and places to hang out. Try something new by going out to different places. Check your local “what“s on“ guide for events and give t
19、hem a try. If the nights turn out to be disasters, at least you“ll have something to laugh about. Take a break/Cut down on the time you spend together. This is not necessarily a bad thing. Instead, after a while, you“ll probably find that you have a lot to talk about and have a great time together.
20、In other words, you are living in each other“s pockets . Interview each other. Even if you“ve been friends for a while, you may find there are lots of things you don“t know about one another. Be spontaneous (自发的): Do something on the spur of the moment, be it booking a holiday, having a day trip, or
21、 buying a gift. Make your mates feel special. Be outrageous(反常的): Go and have a few wild nights out, then you can relieve the events with your mates. See more films. You can talk about the characters over a drink or two afterwards. If all the above fail maybe you haven“t fitted in with each other. I
22、t can be hard to accept, but friendships do come to an end, and maybe it“s time to move on and find a new friend.（分数：10.00）(1).If you are in a friendship rut, you will be _.（分数：2.00）A.reluctant to do things week after weekB.bored to do the same things with the same friendsC.eager to talk with your s
23、ame friendsD.tired from chatting with your friends(2).The underlined sentence in Paragraph 5 may mean “_“.（分数：2.00）A.you have much influence on your friendsB.you make a living by spending your friends“ moneyC.you are in. a close relationship with your friendsD.you take good care of your friends(3).H
24、ow can you deal with a friendship rut?（分数：2.00）A.To do something as you please sometimes.B.To act as a reporter to interview someone.C.To break away from your friends.D.To laugh about a disaster.(4).From the last paragraph, we can infer that _.（分数：2.00）A.friendships will end if a friend moves awayB.
25、friends find it hard to accept a new friendC.friends can grow faster or taller than each otherD.friendships may come to an end sometimes(5).The purpose of writing this passage is to _.（分数：2.00）A.advise us on how to make friendsB.tell us what to do with a boring friendshipC.warn people to care for fr
26、iendshipsD.remind us of when to find a new friend九、Passage Two(总题数：1，分数：10.00)I feel kind of bad for my kids. Because of my husband“s job, we have never had time to go to places like the pool or the beach together this summer. I“ve got a lot more comfortable with taking them to other places but taki
27、ng them both to water still scares me a lot. At six years old Cameron can hardly swim. Sure, he has got all the confidence in the world but he“s lacking in skills. He loves the water and has confidence; in my book that“s a sign of disaster. Poor little Logan will be four years old and is just now ta
28、king his first swimming lessons. I think that my own inability to swim has made it OK for me not to get the kids swimming. The best I can do is to keep myself alive until help comes, but I know the basics. I guess if it meant saving one of the boys I could probably make it. As the boys can“t swim, I
29、 think this will be the summer when they learn. In the past four weeks both of the boys have been taking swimming lessons. Monday through Thursday, I spend an hour or so watching them learn how to avoid drowning. I have to give them both credit; they have improved ten-fold in the short amount of tim
30、e. Cameron can actually swim. He doesn“t have the endurance yet and the facts show that he has to work harder than the other kids but he“s getting it. Logan cried for the first few lessons and really wanted nothing to do with swimming. He is not as confident as his older brother but he is getting mo
31、re comfortable in the water. For a kid who has hardly spent any time in water outside of the bathtub, he is doing an amazing job.（分数：10.00）(1).We can learn from the first paragraph that _.（分数：2.00）A.the writer is out of workB.the writer cannot look after two kidsC.the writer“s husband is busyD.the w
32、riter has an unhappy family(2).What does Cameron think of swimming?（分数：2.00）A.He doesn“t like swimming at all.B.He is overly confident about swimming.C.He expects to swim in summer the most.D.He thinks it“s the best way to exercise.(3).What do we know about the writer“s swimming skills?（分数：2.00）A.Th
33、e writer is a great swimmer.B.The writer can only swim slowly.C.The writer doesn“t know anything about swimming.D.The writer can“t swim very well.(4).How long do the children have swim lessons every week?（分数：2.00）A.For about an hour.B.For about seven hours.C.For about four hours.D.For about eight ho
34、urs.(5).The last paragraph is mainly about _.（分数：2.00）A.the benefits of swimmingB.the children“s progress in swimmingC.the children“s attitudes to swimmingD.the difficulties of swimming十、Passage Three(总题数：1，分数：10.00)Trees should only be pruned(修剪) when there is a good and clear reason for doing so a
35、nd, fortunately, the number of such reasons is small. Pruning involves the cutting away of overgrown and unwanted branches, and the inexperienced gardener can be encouraged by the thought that more damage results from doing it unnecessarily than from leaving the tree to grow in its own way. First, p
36、runing may be done to make sure that trees have a desired shape or size. The object may be to get a tree of the right height, and at the same time to help the growth of small side branches which will thicken its appearance or give it a special shape. Secondly, pruning may be done to make the tree he
37、althier. You may cut diseased or dead wood, or branches that are rubbing against each other and thus cause wounds. The health of a tree may be encouraged by removing branches that are blocking up the centre and so preventing the free movement of air. One result of pruning is that an open wound is le
38、ft on the tree and this provides an easy entry for disease, but it is a wound that will heal. Often there is a race between the healing and the disease as to whether the tree will live or die, so that there is a period when the tree is at risk. It should be the aim of every gardener to reduce that r
39、isk as far as possible. It is important to make that area, which has been pruned, smooth and clean, for healing will be slowed down by roughness. You should allow the cut surface to dry for a few hours and then paint it with one of the substances available from garden shops produced especially for t
40、his purpose. Pruning is usually without interference from the leaves and also it is very unlikely that the cuts you make will bleed. If this does happen, it is, of course, impossible to paint them properly.（分数：10.00）(1).What can we infer from the passage?（分数：2.00）A.The author tends to favor pruning
41、frequently.B.It“s easy to find a reason to prune trees.C.Pruning trees properly is not easy.D.Pruned trees will always grow taller.(2).The benefits of pruning might include _.（分数：2.00）A.the pruned trees may stop growingB.trees may become healthierC.side branches may give way to unwanted branchesD.br
42、anches have the chance of rubbing against each other(3).Unwanted branches blocking the center should be cut away so that _.（分数：2.00）A.trees can have more sunlightB.trees can have a desired shapeC.trees can grow healthilyD.air can move about freely(4).According to the passage, after pruning, _.（分数：2.
43、00）A.pruned trees may get infected easilyB.the open wound will heal at onceC.the disease often wins the raceD.the cut surface should be left unpainted(5).What can we do to keep trees away from disease?（分数：2.00）A.Paint the cut surface as soon as possible.B.Make the cut surface rougher.C.Cover the cut
44、 surface with anything available.D.Make the cut surface smooth and clean.十一、Passage Four(总题数：1，分数：10.00)Many psychologists in the early twentieth century believed that humans use only 10 percent of their brains, and even the great Albert Einstein once wrote that most people use only a small portion
45、of the grey matter between their ears. It“s a theory that has often been put forward in television documentaries, magazines, advertisements and books over the past century. But nearly all scientists now agree the 10 percent theory is completely unfounded. In fact, they question how this figure was e
46、ver arrived at in the first place and what areas of the brain are supposed to be unneeded. The theory supposes that if 90 percent of the brain were removed, a person would still be able to function normally, while in reality it is known that damage to even a small area of the brain can result in ext
47、remely serious physical injuries and that many areas of the brain are used at the same time for some complex activities or thought processes. Throughout the course of one day, most areas of the brain are active at some time, even during sleep. The 10 percent theory suggests that certain areas of the
48、 brain are not used, but scans slow activities throughout the entire brain and not in any separate part. The final argument against the 10 percent theory is the fact that doctors carefully map the brain before removing brain cancers so that they don“t affect other essential areas. From an evolutiona
49、ry point of view, it“s highly unlikely that our comparatively larger brains would have evolved from our ancestors if the extra areas were not needed. In fact, there is absolutely no evidence to support the 10 percent theory.（分数：10.00）(1).How did the 10 percent theory get such widespread popularity?（分数：2.00）A.It was promoted in various types of popular media.B.Albert Einstein argued strongly in support.C.It was proven in scie
