Yin Jui-rong was one of the lucky ones.“I watched my village get buried，” says the native farmer in southern Taiwan, one of hundreds in the mountainous region caught in the island's worst floods in 50 years. On August 8, Yin and 300 others in the township of Namasia fled their homes and climbed up a nearby mountain to higher ground. They spent three stormy days and nights under makeshift(临时的) tents before the weather cleared enough for them to make smoke signals for help. Finally, after more than 72 hours, military helicopters spotted and rescued them.
In neighboring Siaolin village, the government confirmed(查明) that nearly 400 were buried alive, bringing the death toll(伤亡人数) of Typhoon Morakot, which hit Taiwan last week, to over 500. It was the deadliest natural disaster Taiwan has seen since a 7.3 earthquake hit the island in 1999, killing 2,416, mostly in central Taiwan. The storm dumped more than six feet of rain in over two days, leading to floods that wiped out many mountainside villages and towns, a six-story hotel, 34 bridges, 253 roads and countless homes. As of Saturday morning, an estimated 35,000 people are still stranded in the region.
Seven days after Morakot hit, the thunder of large military helicopters landing every ten minutes at Cishan Junior High School booms through this small township—an epicenter(中心) of Morakot relief efforts—as they return from the ongoing rescue missions. With each landing, rescue workers raise a banner with the name of the village it flew in from as family members, lined up outside the classrooms, desperately look and hope to see their loved ones come out.
31．Yin Jui-rong ________.
A．managed to escape from the flooded village
B．had experienced a flood fifty years ago
C．lived in the contemporary tent for a week before rescued

A．making smoke signals was the best way to give alarm
B．rescue workers didn't know the names of the rescued people
C．this flood is the most serious disaster in the history
D．this flood was caused by a terrible storm
34．The underlined word “stranded” probably means ________.

Eunice Kennedy Shriver was a member of one of the most famous families in American politics. Though she never ran for office, she spent her life energetically working to improve the lives of people with developmental problems.
Eunice Shriver was best known for creating the Special Olympics, an athletic event for people with mental disabilities. Her efforts changed the way the world thinks about the mentally disabled.
Mrs. Shriver officially became involved in helping people with developmental problems when she became the executive vice-president of a family organization in 1957. The Joseph P. Kennedy Junior Foundation was created in 1946 to honor her oldest brother, who died fighting in World War Two.
Under her guidance, the foundation turned its attention to studying the causes of mental disabilities. It also sought to improve the way society treats people with such disabilities. The foundation also started centers for the study of medical ethics(医德) at Harvard University and Georgetown University.
Eunice Shriver and her family had a personal reason to be interested in this issue. Her older sister, Rosemary Kennedy, was born mentally retarded(智力迟钝的). As Rosemary grew older, she became increasingly difficult to live with and supervise. When she was in her twenties, her father arranged for her to have an operation on her brain to improve her mental condition. But the operation left her completely disabled. Her family later sent her to a care center where she lived until her death in 2005.
In the past, mental disability was generally treated as a shameful and hopeless disease. And, there were almost no community activities, resources or jobs for the mentally disabled. They were shut away with little respect and few civil rights. Eunice Shriver changed this. She showed the world that the mentally disabled could be useful citizens enjoying rich lives.
35．What's the main task of the Joseph P. Kennedy Junior Foundation?
A．organizing the mental disabled to take part in various athletic events
B．doing some research at the causes of mental disabilities and medical ethics
C．helping people with mental problems to get more medical care
D．offer more mental disabled to enter the medical centers at the two universities
36．What caused Eunice Shriver to be interested in the mentally disabled?
A．her parents encouragement
B．her oldest brother's death
C．her own growing experiences
D．her born mentally undeveloped sister
37．From the passage we can learn ________.
A．Eunice Shriver improved the way the mental disabled were treated
B．Eunice Shriver created chanced for the disabled to work equally with common people
C．Eunice Shriver's oldest brother founded a family organization
D．Eunice Shriver began helping the disabled when the Kennedy Junior Foundation was founded
38．From the last paragraph we can learn all the following EXCEPT________.
A．it was Eunice Shriver who helped the disabilities enjoy their rich lives
B．the disabilities used to only live as a good-for-nothing person
C．the human rights of the disabled are protected more and more
D．Eunice Shriver was the only president appealing to the society to respect the disabled
C
Eating disorders continue to be a leading cause of health concern for many young adults. For both young men and young women, the development of an eating disorder is often in response to peer pressures, perceptions(观念)about societal views and related to mental health complications.
For some young adults, especially those in college, the development of an eating disorder can lead to early attack of cardiovascular(心脏血管的)complications(并发症), electrolyte imbalances and even complications of early-onset osteoporosis(骨质疏松症)and abnormal menstrual(月经的)cycles.
Among many college campuses, there is a growing concern over the development of an eating disorder in students. Often, eating disorders that develop during the college years can be traced back to an issue involving a recent breakdown in a relationship with a parent. In fact, when a college student feels insecure or detached from a parent, it is not uncommon to find some comfort in food.
For many college counselors and healthcare officials, there is a growing recognition that eating disorders in women can generally be attached to some form of injured attaching issue while, for men, the lack of contact with a parent often does not arouse the same response. Therefore, focusing on issues of being home sick, creating support networks and identifying early signs of depression are often a key focus of college staff when working with female students.
If you, or your child, is about to head off to college, it is important to understand how the detachment from parents may affect your child's eating habits. While many college students gain the “freshman fifteen”， it is the college student who gains significantly more weight, or loses an abundant amount of weight, who may be experiencing an eating disorder. If you are attending college and you find that your eating habits have intensely changed, seek assistance from the campus healthcare facility.
39．Eating disorders in college students are mainly caused by ________.
A．departure from their family
B．losing touch with their parents
C．a desire for delicious food
D．uncommon surroundings
40．From this passage we can learn ________.
A．eating disorder isn't a matter which can cause healthy problems
B. lacking contact with a parent often arouses young men and women's eating disorders
C. the leading way to deal with the young's eating disorders is to live with their parents
D. peer pressures and new circumstances can lead to many young's inadaptation
41．The underlined word “detachment” in the last paragraph probably means ________.
A．losing support B．lacking confidence
C．becoming apart D．feeling lonely
D
Books have been our best friends from time immemorial. There was a time when reading them was supposed to be the best way of entertainment: Book lovers used to carry the book of their choice wherever they went. But, now in this microchip generation where everything is possible with the help of the Internet, we do not need to carry them for reading. E-books are gaining popularity and the Web world is now a treasure house of books. All book lovers can rejoice, as now they can find their favorite books online.
Reading books online is a comparatively new concept. People used to think that the Internet is a store-house of information. But with the advancement of technology, now you can read and download books from the Web world. Imagine reading your favorite romantic novel while on a pleasant trip. You may think that it will be quite tiresome to carry such heavy books while touring. But there is nothing to worry anymore as e-books have come as a boon to us.
E-books are nothing but online books. The only difference between an e-book and a book is that one has a physical existence while the other dwells in the virtual world of the Internet. Content is the same for both. And you are saved from the hassles of carrying books as well.
There are various e-book depositories(贮藏室) from which you can either buy or download e-books. The process of downloading them is very easy. The websites give proper instructions and you just need to follow them to get hold of the book of your choice. Moreover, if you do not want to make investment, just read it by opening the online depository and read it for free.
From entertainment to business, e-books prove to be handy for all purposes. The time will come when they will become the most important entertainment option for many people.

Ocean waters are constantly under movement.But have you thought about the forces or reasons behind their movement? Do you know how they move? An ocean current is basically defined as a horizontal movement of seawater in the ocean.Some of the factors affecting the movement of ocean currents are the rotation of planet，temperature, wind and the gravitational pull of the moon.
Why do ocean currents flow? Although there might be various reasons for the existence or flow of ocean currents, the major ones are: the sun and the rotation of the earth.The sun affects the ocean by heating the atmosphere, creating winds and moving the sea surface through friction.This tends to drag the water surface along as the wind blows over it.Secondly, it affects the ocean by altering the density of the ocean surface directly by changing its temperature and its salinity (咸度)．
The rotation of the earth also tends to affect the currents through the Coriolis force.This force makes water move to the right in the northern hemisphere and to the left in the southern hemisphere.It exists because the ocean water is affected by friction with the earth only at the seafloor，and because the eastward linear velocity (线速度) of the earth decreases from a maximum at the equator to zero at the poles.
The ocean currents carry a large amount of energy and this is directly related to the density of water.Many Asian, European and North American countries are currently conducting research on currents in order to assist people.
It is essential to have knowledge of the ocean currents to reduce the costs of shipping such as fuel costs.The knowledge was even more essential in the sail-ship era.A very good example of this is the Agulhas current, which long prevented Portuguese sailors from reaching India.
46．According to the passage, an ocean current ________.
A．is only affected by the rotation of planet
B．causes seawater to move in a flat and level way
C．will occur if the atmosphere is hot
D．causes seawater to move now and then
47．Ocean currents mainly have something to do with ________.
A．the rotation of the earth and the sun
B．the winds which are on the oceans
C．the gravitational pull of the moon
D．the salinity of seawater
48．What do we know about the movement of ocean currents from Paragraph 3?
A．They move from the right to the left.
B．Their speed decreases if the linear velocity of the earth increases.
C．They move from the east to the west.
D．Their directions are affected by the rotation of the earth.
49．Why do many countries carry out research on ocean currents?
A．To find out how they form.
B．To make use of the energy.
C．To affect the currents by force.
D．To check the density of water.
50．What does the last paragraph mainly tell us?
A．Ocean currents do a great deal of good to sailing.
B．The Agulhas current stopped Portuguese sailors from reaching India.
C．Mastering knowledge about ocean currents is quite important.
D．Ocean currents help to reduce the costs of shipping.

We have two daughters: Kristen is seven years old and Kelly is four.Last Sunday evening，we invited some people home for dinner.I dressed them nicely for the party，and told them that their job was to join Mommy in answering the door when the bell rang.
Mommy would introduce them to the guests，and they would take the guests' coats upstairs and put them on the bed in the second bedroom.
The guests arrived.I introduced my two daughters to each of them.The adults were nice and kind and said how lucky we were to have such good kids.Each of the guests made a particular fuss(关爱)over Kelly，the younger one，admiring her dress，her hair and her smile.They said she was a great girl to be carrying coats upstairs at her age.
I thought to myself that we adults usually make_a_big_“to_do”_over the younger one because she's the one who seemly more easily hurt.We do it with the best of intentions.
But we seldom think of how it might affect the other child.I was a little worried that Kristen would feel she was being outshined (逊色，相形见绌)．I was about to serve dinner when I realized that she had been missing for twenty minutes.I ran upstairs and found her in the bedroom，crying.
I said，“What are you doing，my dear？”
She turned to me with a sad expression and said，“Mommy，why don't people like me the way they like my sister? Is it because I'm not pretty? Is that why they don't say nice things about me as much？”
I tried to explain to her，kissing and hugging her to make her feel better.
Now，whenever I visit a friend's home，I make it a point to speak to the elder child first.
56．What were Kristen and Kelly asked to do last Sunday evening? (no more than 20 words)
________________________________________________________________
57．Why did the guests praise Kelly so much rather than Kristen? (no more than 15 words)

Years of school life had taught me a lot of things, of which teamwork is the most important for me.
In fact, I didn't realize it until I was being chosen monitor of my class in my senior middle school. At first, I did most of the duties myself while other student cared little about class activities. As the result, I was tired out and fell unhappy. Then I turned to my teacher and he advised me cooperate with others. So I had a good talk to my classmate for their ideas. They soon understood me and began to doing what they should in class.
Teamwork have freed me of trouble and made my work much effective than ever.

In fact, I didn't realize it until I was chosen monitor of my class in my senior middle school. At first, I did most of the duties myself while other cared little about class activities. As result, I was tired out and unhappy. Then I turned to my teacher and he advised me cooperate with others. So I had a good talk my classmates for their ideas. They soon understood me and began to what they should in class.
Teamwork freed me of trouble and made my work effective than ever.
【参考范文】
Dear Sir，
Yesterday afternoon，we had a discussion on the question：“Would you go shopping with your friend at his request while you are going over your lessons？”
My classmates Li Lei and Tom had different viewpoints. Li Lei thought that he couldn't refuse his friend's request even though his study would be affected. But Tom didn't think so. He said he wouldn't meet all requests from his friends. Studying was more important than shopping.
In my opinion，either Li Lei or Tom is right to some extent. We may meet our friends' requests，but that depends. If we have difficulties，we should let them know.
Yours，
Li Hua

Ⅳ.阅读理解
Remember how great exercise was when you were a little kid！Back then，racing around the playground or skipping rope for hours，you weren't thinking fitness，you were thinking entertainment. But in this age of high-tech home equipment and underused gym memberships，the simple joy of jumping rope has been forgotten. Rediscovering it will give you a total-body exercise you can find.
Although considered an excellent form of exercise，jumping rope has never gained widespread acceptance because of two fundamental reasons. First，most people recognize jumping rope as an excellent form of cardiovascular (心血管的) exercise，but they also believe that it is simply too difficult. In other words，they don't think they'll be able to continue jumping for the near 20 minutes that it takes to achieve a beneficial physical outcome. Second，many view it as somewhat boring and overly repetitive—not as something fun or enjoyable.
As a matter of fact，jumping rope can be great fun if you find a proper way to practice it. Instead of doing the usual two-foot bounce over and over again，people good at rope-jumping often change their pattern every 10 or 20 jumps. A single bounce，a double-bounce，a skip，a knee-up，side swings as well as a variety of other easy-to-learn free-style rope-jumping.
Now researchers are learning that jumping rope also prepares the brain for learning. It is an exercise allowing both brain hemispheres to perform in parallel to each other. In short，jumping rope can be a life-long activity requiring little equipment，time and space，yet leading to a much healthier life.
1．From the first paragraph we learn that________.
A．jumping rope has faded from people's memories
B．people now have more advanced equipment
C．racing around the playground was preferred
D．people now like to have exercise in a gym
2．Rope jumping has not spread widely because________.
A．it benefits the cardiovascular system
B．it is neither easy nor enjoyable
C．it is considered boring and repetitive
D．it requires little equipment，time and space
3．The first sentence in the 3rd paragraph implies_______.
A．there is only one proper way to follow
B．the usual way should not be used
C．the easiest way is always the best
D．there are many ways to follow
4．According to the researchers，jumping rope________.
A．only prepares the brain for learning
B．is suitable for students only
C．helps both brain hemispheres work together
D．can be dangerous for old people
5．What is the author's attitude towards rope jumping?
A．He is arguing against it.
B．He is in favor of it.
C．He is sitting on the fence of it.
D．He is not clear about it.

Ⅰ.1.close 2.trust 3.amount 4.raised 5.burst
6．financial 7.theft 8.knocked 9.moody 10.chatting
Ⅱ.1.B 句意：如果被发现在办公室吸烟，任何人都将立即被罚款200元。if引导的条件状语从句中find用在被动语态中，考查find sb. doing，smoking在句中作主语补足语，表示某人被发现正在吸烟，故选B。
2．C 考查非谓语动词。句意：已经好多年没有见我的表妹了，我几乎记不起她的面容了。句子主语I与see在逻辑上为主谓关系，应用主动形式，排除B、D两项；having done的否定形式是在前面加not，故选C。
3．A 句意：这位大学生尽管在一个大城市长大，但他对乡村生活有更大兴趣。raise为及物动词，意为“抚养，养育”，符合句意。
4．B 第一个空“举起手”用及物动词raise，第二个空“站起来”应该用不及物动词rise。
5．B 句意：过街时你一定要小心车辆，不然你就会被车撞伤。knock与其逻辑主语you之间是动宾关系，故应用被动语态，排除A、D两项。knock..over意为“撞伤，撞翻”；knock off意为“撞落，撞下”。根据题意答案应选B。
6．C 句意：在德克萨斯州和东南部，夏天和秋天有时会有暴风雨。from time to time意为“不时，有时”，符合句意。at a time每一次；on time准时；at the time在那时。
7．D 句意：所有在事故中被发现受伤的乘客立刻被送入了附近的医院。found injured在句中作定语修饰passengers，原句相当于All passengers who were found injured in the accident...所以用过去分词found；injured是过去分词作主语补足语，与被修饰的名词passengers为动宾关系，故用过去分词。
8．B 答语句意：我真后悔这样做了。regret having done后悔做了某事。regret to do 很抱歉……，根据句意选B。
9．D 句意：意识到了自己的错误，这个小孩子祈求我原谅他偷我的钱这件事情。forgive sb. for(doing) sth.意为“原谅某人(做过)某事”，符合语境语义。A、B、C三项分别意为“责骂”、“责备”、“惩罚”，均与题意不符。
10．A be about to do...when...表示“刚要……这时突然”的意思。
Ⅲ.【语篇解读】 本文是一篇记叙文。全文讲述了一名纽约人Michael Greenberg助人为乐的故事。Michael Greenberg是一名商人，但是他与其他商人不一样。每年冬天他都要赠送大量的手套给穷人，因为他觉得赠送手套虽然是件小事，但是在冬天里对别人却是非常重要的。
1．A 根据文章前两句Michael Greenberg is a very popular New Yorker.He is not famous in sports or the arts.以及1空前面的But可知，此处应填know about“知道”。learn from向……学习；cheer for为……加油；look after照料。
2．D 根据15空前的many poor New Yorkers know him...以及常识，我们可以知道冬天的时候穷人可能没手套，所以尤其是“穷人”知道他。
3．B 由空前的he is “Gloves” Greenberg我们知道，那些人叫他“Gloves” Greenberg，所以此空应该是“名字(name)”。
4．B 联系前文的He looks like any other businessman...(他与其他商人看上去一样……)以及39空之前的But可知，应选B项different(不一样的)。
5．A 空后为定语从句who look at the sidewalk and________，其中look at及6空都是路人的动作行为，所以选act。
6．C 根据常识我们知道，在冬天人们在街上应该是匆匆忙忙赶路，故选C项。根据空格前的内容．..look at the sidewalk“看着人行道”，所以不可能选B(开车沿街走)。cross over转变，变换；keep off远离。二者均不符合句意，故排除。
7．B 联系前文Mr.Greenberg不像其他纽约人，而且从下文我们知道他在找没戴手套的人，所以他看人(people)。
8．D 句意：每当看到(see)没戴手套的人，他都会停下来。
9．C 联系前后文我们知道他给人手套后，继续寻找没戴手套的人，所以继续往前走(move on)。其他三个选项的意思：hold up举起，支撑；hang out闲逛；turn around转身。
10．A Mr.Greenberg在寻找没戴手套的人，根据常识可知，没戴手套的人是手(hand)冷。
11．C 联系前文我们知道Mr.Greenberg发放手套给穷人，所以此处为give away(赠送，发放)。其他三个选项的意思：search for寻找；store up储存；put on穿上，均与文章语境不符。
12．D 结合前文可知，他在冬天发放(give away)手套，那么其他时候，他当然就得买(buy)手套。
13．B 句意：听说了他的人就送手套给他，因此他的公寓里有许多手套。
14．C Mr.Greenberg 21年前就开始(began)给大街上没戴手套的人送手套了。delay耽误；remember记得；enjoy喜欢。
15．A 因为做的时间长了，所以许多纽约的穷人认识他，理解(understand)他的行为。
16．D 根据空前的But可知，也有人不理解他的做法，所以感到吃惊(surprised)。be sorry for为……感到遗憾；be satisfied with对……感到满意；be proud of以……为骄傲。
17．D 根据最后一段的第二句话可知，他这样做只是想让别人感到“高兴(happy)”。
18．B 根据后面的“Michael's father always helped the poor...”可知，Michael的父亲就是这样做的，所以是世代相传(run in the family)。
19．C 句意：Michael也是这样想的。
20．A 一副手套虽然是微不足道的东西，但在冬天却可以起重大作用。与make a big difference相对，选small。
Ⅳ.【语篇解读】 本文介绍了跳绳的许多好处，并分析了跳绳运动得不到推广的原因。
1．A 考查细节理解。由本文第一段倒数第二句“But in this age of high-tech home equipment and underused gym memberships，the simple joy of jumping rope has been forgotten.”可知跳绳已经慢慢地从人们的记忆中淡去。
2．B 考查细节理解。从第二段中“it is simply too difficult”和“not as something fun or enjoyable”可知答案选B。
3．D 考查细节理解。由第三段中可知跳绳的花样很多，你可以two-foot bounce，a single bounce，a double-bounce，a skip，a knee-up，side swings，可知有许多方式可以跳。
4．C 考查细节理解。由第四段中“It is an exercise allowing both brain hemispheres to perform in parallel to each other.”可知：可以使两个大脑半球同时工作。
5．B 考查主旨大意。从作者介绍跳绳的好处可以看出作者支持跳绳运动。
Ⅴ.1.Scarcely had she heard the sad news when she burst out crying. 2.Her husband died ten years ago, leaving her and three children to look after.
3．If I got into trouble, I could always count on Rose. 4.When he reached the final line, everyone burst out laughing. 5.It would have been impossible to find my daughter without the help of Friends Reunited.

Ⅲ.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.
1．In the eighth grade, what the author did before developing proper social behavior was to________.
A．become serious about her study
B．go to her friend's house regularly

A．our exploration of London was a memorable gift to both of us

A．Unforgettable Experiences
B．Remarkable Imagination
C．Lifelong Friendship
D．Noble Companions
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

Ⅰ.1.reunited 2.privilege 3.mention 4.paced 5.partner 6.couples 7.tear 8.bottom
9．murmured 10.flee
Ⅱ.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。
Ⅲ.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。
Ⅳ.1.Without the help of my friends, I wouldn't have finished my task on time. 2.I found him smoking when I entered the bedroom. 3.Not having been invited to attend the party, I felt very sad. 4.I went through my drawer carefully, but I could not find my keys. 5.I wonder if you are helping us from the bottom of your heart.
