There are three different kinds of friends in our life.I classify (分类) them according to how well I know them and how well they know me.
The first type of friend is just an acquaintance (熟人)．This means that you only know their name.You might not even remember what they look like if you go away for a short vacation.You don't miss them when they are elsewhere.It is also this type of friend who gives you the most amount of aggravation (恼怒)．Since most of the time you are placed in a position where you have to act friendly, you would not normally tell an acquaintance when he or she is doing something that makes you feel angry, such as tapping the fingers on a table or shouting loudly.I call them “pest friends”．
The second kind of friend is a “guest friend”．They are just social partners.You meet them at a certain location and at the end of the meeting you go your separate way and they go theirs.You don't talk too often with this sort of friend, and you don't share each other's secrets.
Lastly, we have “best friends”．This sort of friend is there when you need them.They know you as a person and they are there through thick and thin.Best friends are the ones that you can lean and depend on no matter what happens.If you need a listening ear, they will be the one to lend support.
Friends come in all different shapes and sizes.Every friend has an impact on our life...
11．According to the writer, when a friend of the first type acts in an annoying way, you ________．
A．can tell him/her about it directly
B．should stay away from him/her
C．should advise him/her to correct his/her behavior
D．may find it hard to tell him/her not to do so
12．Which of the following statements is WRONG about the second type of friend
A．They are only social partners.
B．You don't talk very often with them.
C．You don't share your secrets with them.
D．They are called “pest friends” by the writer.
13．If someone is with you through thick and thin, it means ________．
A．he/she is your friend for sure
B．he/she agrees with whatever you say
C．you spend most of your time together
D．he/she is with you even when there are difficulties

D．How to get along well with the third type of friend.

The period 713—756 AD was when the Tang Dynasty reached its top.It was also China's golden age of poetry.Then it is no surprise the period produced China's two greatest poets, Du Fu and Li Bai.
Li Bai (701－762) was also called Tai Bai or Qing Lian Ju Shi as his poetic name.He is one of the most well known and admired poets in China.
A diligent reader in his youth, he was directed by both Confucianism and Taoism(儒教和道教)．He started out at 25 to travel in the country.At the age of 42, a friend suggested him to the court(朝廷)．He was greatly pleased at first and eager to serve the emperor like an ancient able politician.But the Emperor Xuanzong only had him as a palace poet to write unimportant poems while the emperor and Yang Guifei, his favorite imperial concubine(皇妃), were treating themselves.Unwilling to serve such a meaningless function, Li Bai left the capital in less than two years.
Then Li Bai went on with his aimless wandering all over the country.Unfortunately, he was charged of being a member of the rebel and sentenced to exile(流放), though pardoned on the way.He died of illness at Dangtu in today's Anhui.
Li Bai is considered as the first romantic poet in the Tang Dynasty (618－907)．His political aim was destroyed, so he turned to drinking to hide from his sorrows and writing，which was described as “A hundred poems per glass wine.” His poetry is still very popular and recited by Chinese children today.Here are some of his poems in English.
16．Li Bai served in the court during ________．
A．713－756 B．701－762
C．743－745 D．618－907
17．Li Bai was fond of ________．
A．writing poems B．traveling
C．drinking D．A，B and C
18．Paragraph 3 mainly tells us ________．
A．why the Tang Dynasty reached its top
B．Li Bai's days in the court
C．why Li Bai is regarded as a romantic poet
D．why Li Bai's poetry is still popular today
19．When he was young, Li Bai liked ________．
A．reading B．serving the emperor
C．wandering aimlessly D．drinking
20．The underlined word “rebel” in the fourth paragraph refers to ________．
A．something about travel
B．something against the court
C．something about poems
D．something about drinking

B．should stay away from him/her
C．should advise him/her to correct his/her behavior

【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了人生中的三种朋友。
D 细节理解题。由第二段中的“Since most of the time you are placed in a position ... or shouting loudly.”可知在作者看来，当第一种朋友有恼人的行为时，你可能并不好意思直接跟他/她说不要这样做。故选D项。

A．They are only social partners.
B．You don't talk very often with them.
C．You don't share your secrets with them.
D．They are called “pest friends” by the writer.
D 细节理解题。由第二段中的“I call them ‘pest friends’．”(我叫他们“害虫朋友”)，可知“pest friends”是作者用来形容第一种朋友的，D项“第二种类型的朋友被作家称为‘害虫朋友’”错误。故选D项。
13．If someone is with you through thick and thin, it means ________．
A．he/she is your friend for sure
B．he/she agrees with whatever you say
C．you spend most of your time together
D．he/she is with you even when there are difficulties

The period 713—756 AD was when the Tang Dynasty reached its top.It was also China's golden age of poetry.Then it is no surprise the period produced China's two greatest poets, Du Fu and Li Bai.
Li Bai (701－762) was also called Tai Bai or Qing Lian Ju Shi as his poetic name.He is one of the most well known and admired poets in China.
A diligent reader in his youth, he was directed by both Confucianism and Taoism(儒教和道教)．He started out at 25 to travel in the country.At the age of 42, a friend suggested him to the court(朝廷)．He was greatly pleased at first and eager to serve the emperor like an ancient able politician.But the Emperor Xuanzong only had him as a palace poet to write unimportant poems while the emperor and Yang Guifei, his favorite imperial concubine(皇妃), were treating themselves.Unwilling to serve such a meaningless function, Li Bai left the capital in less than two years.
Then Li Bai went on with his aimless wandering all over the country.Unfortunately, he was charged of being a member of the rebel and sentenced to exile(流放), though pardoned on the way.He died of illness at Dangtu in today's Anhui.
Li Bai is considered as the first romantic poet in the Tang Dynasty (618－907)．His political aim was destroyed, so he turned to drinking to hide from his sorrows and writing，which was described as “A hundred poems per glass wine.” His poetry is still very popular and recited by Chinese children today.Here are some of his poems in English.
16．Li Bai served in the court during ________．
A．713－756 B．701－762
C．743－745 D．618－907
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇人物传记，介绍了唐代大诗人李白的一生和影响。
C 细节理解题。根据第三段“At the age of 42, a friend suggested him to the court”可知，李白在42岁的时候入朝做官。又根据第二段李白的出生日期(701－762)可知，李白是在743(701＋42)年入朝做官。然后又根据第三段最后一句“Li Bai left the capital in less than two years”可知，李白只做了两年的官。故李白当官的时间是743年到745年。故选C。
17．Li Bai was fond of ________．
A．writing poems B．traveling
C．drinking D．A，B and C
D 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“He is one of the most well known and admired poets in China”，第三段中的“He started out at 25 to travel in the country”，倒数第二段中的“Then Li Bai went on with his aimless wandering all over the country”以及最后一段中的“he turned to drinking to hide from his sorrows and writing, which was described as ‘A hundred poems per glass wine.’”可知，李白喜欢作诗、游历和饮酒。故选D。
18．Paragraph 3 mainly tells us ________．
A．why the Tang Dynasty reached its top
B．Li Bai's days in the court
C．why Li Bai is regarded as a romantic poet
D．why Li Bai's poetry is still popular today
B 主旨大意题。第三段前部分写道李白入朝为官。在段落最后写道李白只做官两年。由此可知，第三段主要写了李白被引荐进了朝廷，刚开始还很满意，后来觉得没被重用，实现不了自己的抱负，不到两年就离开了都城。所以第三段主要讲述了李白入朝为官的经历。故此题选B。
19．When he was young, Li Bai liked ________．
A．reading B．serving the emperor
C．wandering aimlessly D．drinking
A 细节理解题。根据第三段第一句“A diligent reader in his youth, he was directed by both Confucianism and Taoism”可知，李白年轻时喜欢读书。故选A。
20．The underlined word “rebel” in the fourth paragraph refers to ________．
A．something about travel
B．something against the court
C．something about poems
D．something about drinking
B 词义猜测题。根据所猜词后的“sentenced to exile(被判处流放)”可知，李白被视为乱党，是反抗朝廷的人，因此才被流放。所以此处rebel的意思是“反抗朝廷”。故选B。

【语篇解读】 本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。主要介绍了一位3D果冻艺术家，她创造了一种特别的3D果冻蛋糕，并介绍了她对抗疾病的过程。
36．who/that 考查定语从句。句子的先行词是artist，指人，且先行词在从句中充当主语，所以使用who或that引导定语从句。故填who/that。
37．using 考查动名词。空格处给出的提示词是动词，且位于介词by后，作介词的宾语，所以应使用其动名词形式。故填using。
38．began 考查时态。由时间状语more than two years ago可知表示过去发生的事件，因此谓语动词使用一般过去时。故填began。
39．what 考查宾语从句的引导词。doing后为宾语从句，从句loved后缺少宾语，因此使用表示“什么”的what引导宾语从句。故填what。
40．better 考查形容词比较级。根据语境可知，当她觉得身体比较好的日子，她就会做立体蛋糕，因此使用形容词well的比较级形式，故填better。
41．from 考查介词。此处使用短语take...away from...(将……从……中拿走)。故填from。
42．ways 考查名词的数。way(方法)是可数名词，其前没有冠词，因此使用名词的复数形式。故填ways。
43．patience 考查名词。and连接两个并列的成分，由creativity可知使用patient的名词形式patience(为不可数名词)。故填patience。
44．variety 考查名词。此处指它们由各种各样独特的味道，使用短语a variety of表示“各种各样的”。故填variety。
45．satisfying 考查形容词。空处单词修饰名词part，所以应填形容词。又因形容词修饰的是工作的一部分，指物，强调工作的性质，所以使用satisfying“令人满意的”。故填satisfying。
