二、阅读理解
A
When it comes to friends, I desire those who will share my happiness, who possess wings of their own and who will fly with me. I seek friends whose qualities illuminate (照亮) me and train me up for love. It is for these people that I reserve the glowing hours, too good not to share.
When I was in the eighth grade, I had a friend. We were shy and “too serious” about our studies when it was becoming fashionable with our classmates to learn acceptable social behaviors. We said little at school, but she would come to my house and we would sit down with pencils and paper, and one of us would say, “Let's start with a train whistle today.” We would sit quietly together and write separate poems or stories that grew out of a train whistle. Then we would read them aloud. At the end of that school year, we, too, were changing into social creatures and the stories and poems stopped.
When I lived for a time in London, I had a friend. He was in despair and I was in despair. But our friendship was based on the idea in each of us that we would be sorry later if we did not explore this great city because we had felt bad at the time. We met every Sunday for five weeks and found many excellent things. We walked until our despairs disappeared and then we parted. We gave London to each other.
For almost four years I have had a remarkable friend whose imagination illuminates mine. We write long letters in which we often discover our strangest selves. Each of us appears, some times in a funny way, in the other's dreams. She and I agree that, at certain times, we seem to be parts of the same mind. In my most interesting moments, I often think, “Yes, I must tell...” We have never met.
It is such comforting companions I wish to keep. One bright hour with their kind is worth more to me than the lifetime services of psychologist, who will only fill up the healing silence necessary to those darkest moments in which I would rather be my own best friend.

B
Americans are famous for being friendly to people. Their friendships, however, tend to be shorter and more casual than friendships among people from other cultures. It is not uncommon for Americans to have only one close friend during their lifetime, and consider other “friends” to be just social acquaintances (泛泛之交). This attitude probably has something to do with American mobility and the fact that Americans dislike to be dependent on other people. They tend to “compartmentalize”(划分) friendships, having “friends at work” “friends on the softball team” “family friends” and so forth.
Because the United States is a highly active society, full of movement and change，people always seem to be on the go. In this highly_charged atmosphere, Americans sometimes seem abrupt(无礼的) or impatient. They want to get to know you as quickly as possible and then move on to something else. Sometimes, they ask you questions that you may feel very personal. No insult is intended; the questions usually grow out of their true interest or curiosity, and their impatience to get to the heart of the matter.
And the same goes for you. If you don't understand certain American behavior or you want to know more about them, do not hesitate to ask them questions about themselves. Americans are usually eager to explain all about their country or anything “American” in which you may be interested. They explain so much in fact that you may become tired of listening. It doesn't matter because Americans tend to be uncomfortable with silence during a conversation. They would rather talk about the weather or the latest sports scores, for instance, than deal with silence.
On the other hand, don't expect Americans to be knowledgeable about international geography or world affairs, unless those subjects directly involve the United States. Because the United States is geographically distant from many other nations, some Americans tend not to be aware of what goes on in other parts of the world.
6．According to the passage, Americans' attitude towards friendship is________.
A．it is unusual to have only one close friend
B．more informal than that in other countries
C．to regard all friends as only social acquaintances
D．to divide friends into several grades
7．The words “highly charged” (Paragraph 2) most probably mean________.
A．extremely expensive
B．much cheerful
C．highly responsible
D．full of mobility and change
8．What can we learn from the passage
A．Americans know a lot about international affairs.
B．Friendships among Americans tend to be more formal.
C．Americans always seem to be on the move.
D．Americans like to cooperate with other people.
9．It can be inferred from the passage that________.
A．Americans want to take part in all kinds of activities
B．curiosity is the major characteristic of Americans
C．Americans do not know how to deal with silence
D．Americans' characters are influenced by their social and geographical environments
参考答案与解析
一、
1.B　regret doing意为“后悔做过某事”，由sad可知答案。
2．D　句意：这两个朋友相互之间的联系越来越密切。keep in touch with意为“保持联系”。
3．D　bring... to mind使……想起；想起，为固定搭配。句意：我似乎想不起那个地方的名字。
4．A　考查term构成的短语。be on good terms with sb.意为“与某人交情好”；in terms of表示“就……而言，在……方面”；in the long term表示“从长远来看”；on his terms表示“依照他的条件”。根据句意可知A项正确。
5．D　ashamed为形容词，意为“羞愧的，惭愧的”be ashamed of doing sth.意为“因做某事而感到羞愧”。shame为名词，意为“(因做错事感到的)羞愧”。
6．C　belong to作谓语动词时，没有被动语态和进行时态。没有belong by这个短语。句意为：永远记住，无论你捡到什么，必须还给它的主人。
7．B　not to mention表示“更不用说”，一般用于肯定句之后，后面加名词或v. ing形式；leave alone“不管，不干扰，不干预”；except for“除了……”；but for“要不是”。根据句意选B。
8．B　without引导虚拟语气句。根据语境可知与过去事实相反，因此句子用would ＋have done。句意为：孩子的父母感激地说：“要不是这位先生帮助，我们的儿子早就死了。”
9．C　考查动词短语辨析。句意为：村子里的每一个人都喜欢杰克，因为他擅长讲笑话和编笑话。turn up调高(音量)；put up举起；张贴；搭建；make up编造；show up出现，露面。根据句意选C。
10．B　考查介词短语辨析。句意为：干净的环境有助于这座城市申办奥运会，而奥运会反过来也会促进经济发展。in nature本质上；in return反过来，作为报答；in turn依次，轮流；转而；in fact实际上，事实上，根据句意选B。
二、
1.D　由第二段内容可知，我们坐在一起，写各自的诗或故事，然后大声读出来。
2．A　由第三段内容可知在沮丧消失后我们就分开了，给对方留下了自己开拓的空间。
3．C　由第四段内容可知，我和我的朋友写了四年的信，由此可推断都喜欢互相写信。
4．B　由第五段可知。
5．D　全文讲述了朋友在自己成长过程中的重要作用。文中的每一种友谊都不是终生的，故C项不对。
6．B　推理判断题。由文章第一段第二句可以推知美国人对待友谊较为随意，不太正式。
7．D　词义猜测题。认真阅读并分析其所在句及前一句可知，该词组是对前面一句话内容的概括，由此可见应表示“充满流动性和变化的”。
8．C　推理判断题。由文章第二段首句中的“...people always seem to be on the go”．可知答案。
9．D　推理判断题。由文章第一段第四句可知，美国人对待友谊的态度可能与美国人的流动性以及他们不喜欢依赖别人有关；由第二段首句可知，美国是一个充满活力、充满流动性和变化的社会。这一切都表明美国人的性格受社会影响。文章最后一句表明美国人的性格也受其地理位置的影响。故D项正确。其他三项内容与文章不符。
