真诚的友谊是人生的无价之宝。那么如何去结识新朋友呢？下文给出了一些建议。
No one is a lonely(孤独的) island. Everyone needs friendship. As life is full of trouble，we need friends to support and help us out of difficulties. Our friends give us warnings against danger. True friends share not only joy but sorrow(悲伤)．
Friendship is one of the greatest pleasures that people can enjoy. Without friendship，life is unfortunate(不幸的). So how do we make new friends in our daily life?
You won’t make friends staying at home alone. So if you want to make friends，you must first go where there are people. Join a club or join in some activities. Many people are nervous when talking to new people. Try to accept yourself as you are and try to put the other person at ease. You’ll both feel more comfortable. When you enter a room full of strangers, walk straight, look directly at other people and smile. If you see someone you’d like to speak to，say something. Don’t wait for the other person to start a conversation(对话). Friendship is based on liking each other and “give and take”．It takes time to develop.

A
Friendships can be difficult—because often people aren’t as honest and open as they should be. Sometimes, people end up getting hurt.
Most problems with friendships come up because people are just too selfish to care about the things that their friends need. They care about their own needs much more, which makes it hard for friendships to work. However, being selfish is part of human nature. A person is put together in order to take care of himself and his own needs, not necessarily those needs of other people. Even though being selfish is something that all humans are born with, it is something that everyone should guard against.
The best thing to remember when you are a friend to anyone is that you need to treat your friend the same way as you’d like to be treated. This is wonderful advice for a friendship, because it is really the only way to make sure that you are giving your friend everything you would want to be given in a friendship. Whenever you have a question about how you should treat a friend, it is easy to find an answer simply by asking yourself what you would like your friend to do for you, if he or she is in your shoes.
Even if you’re always thinking about how you’d like to be treated, and your friends are, too, there are issues that come up from time to time in each friendship, and it is important to understand how to deal with these issues so that you can build stronger and healthier friendships. Issues like friends getting boyfriends or girlfriends and not spending enough time with their friends, or even friends finding new friends and leaving old friends behind are issues that will probably come up with one or more of your friendships. It is important to know how to deal with these issues so that you can keep your friends and make new ones. No one wants to have a broken friendship.

Parents often tell kids that playing video games will harm their brains. But last June a study found the opposite—certain video games can give your brain help. Researchers from the University of Montreal, in Canada, asked a group of people to play Super Mario 64 for 90 hours over the course of about 10 weeks. They found that those people experienced growth in the part of the brain that is responsible for memory.
But many people think that there’s nothing good about looking at a screen for hours at a time. They say that playing sports, reading, and doing other activities can give you the same benefits(好处) that playing video games does. Plus, some video games can be harmful. The study from the University of Montreal also found that playing shooter games like Call of Duty has a different influence from playing Super Mario 64—it causes the area of the brain that’s responsible for memory to shrink(缩小)．
Here’s what two of our readers think.
Playing video games can be beneficial because it requires skills like problem-solving, strategic(战略上的) thinking, and sometimes teamwork. A study by researchers at the University of Glasgow, in Scotland, found that playing video games improves your communication skills and ability to find ways to solve problems. Video games can also help you become more creative. For example, Minecraft requires you to think outside the box and build things with materials you never even knew existed(存在). You can build your dream house! Some schools are even using Minecraft to teach topics like math and computer science.
—Mackenzle Reldy, Nebraska
Playing video games takes time away from other more important things. I used to spend a lot of time playing them. Sometimes that kept me from doing things I needed to do, like studying my spelling words. Playing video games can also be bad for your health. Last year, researchers studied kids and teens in Canada who play video games. They found a connection between playing video games for hours before going to bed and being overweight.
—Devin Lewis, Arizona

C 解析：推理判断题。根据第一段中的people to play Super Mario 64...experienced growth...for memory和第二段中的Call of Duty...causes the area...for memory to shrink(缩小) 对比可知，Super Mario 64有助于改善游戏玩家的记忆力。
6．According to Mackenzle Reldy, what should gamers have when playing Minecraft?
A．Strong team spirit.
B．A creative imagination.
C．Good communication skills.
D．A wide knowledge of science.

Looking back at her I could tell she was wondering “Why me？Why today？”When I 6 up and paid for my coffee I requested that the barista(咖啡吧员) of Starbucks give the woman behind me a smile card and paid for her coffee.
Just 30 minutes ago I was again 7 in line at Starbucks.I heard a slam of a car door but thought nothing of it.I was 8 when the same woman came up to my driver’s side window.She 9 me a twenty-dollar bill and the same smile card I had given to her.She smiled and said，“These are for you.You are the 10 one who gave these to me 11 ，right？All I need you to do is ask the barista to give the 12 back to me.”It was amazing！It was as if this woman had been waiting to show her 13 for what I had done!
When she got back into her 14 today she was all smiles.I could tell she had the same feeling as I had on that early Sunday morning.It was nice to have my coffee paid for，but what made me feel even better was seeing the happiness and smile on her face.
As I pulled out of the drive-thru，she waved and yelled out，“Have a 15 day！”I yelled back“You too！”and waved her goodbye.

A
Friendships can be difficult—because often people aren’t as honest and open as they should be. Sometimes, people end up getting hurt.
Most problems with friendships come up because people are just too selfish to care about the things that their friends need. They care about their own needs much more, which makes it hard for friendships to work. However, being selfish is part of human nature. A person is put together in order to take care of himself and his own needs, not necessarily those needs of other people. Even though being selfish is something that all humans are born with, it is something that everyone should guard against.
The best thing to remember when you are a friend to anyone is that you need to treat your friend the same way as you’d like to be treated. This is wonderful advice for a friendship, because it is really the only way to make sure that you are giving your friend everything you would want to be given in a friendship. Whenever you have a question about how you should treat a friend, it is easy to find an answer simply by asking yourself what you would like your friend to do for you, if he or she is in your shoes.
Even if you’re always thinking about how you’d like to be treated, and your friends are, too, there are issues that come up from time to time in each friendship, and it is important to understand how to deal with these issues so that you can build stronger and healthier friendships. Issues like friends getting boyfriends or girlfriends and not spending enough time with their friends, or even friends finding new friends and leaving old friends behind are issues that will probably come up with one or more of your friendships. It is important to know how to deal with these issues so that you can keep your friends and make new ones. No one wants to have a broken friendship.

Parents often tell kids that playing video games will harm their brains. But last June a study found the opposite—certain video games can give your brain help. Researchers from the University of Montreal, in Canada, asked a group of people to play Super Mario 64 for 90 hours over the course of about 10 weeks. They found that those people experienced growth in the part of the brain that is responsible for memory.
But many people think that there’s nothing good about looking at a screen for hours at a time. They say that playing sports, reading, and doing other activities can give you the same benefits(好处) that playing video games does. Plus, some video games can be harmful. The study from the University of Montreal also found that playing shooter games like Call of Duty has a different influence from playing Super Mario 64—it causes the area of the brain that’s responsible for memory to shrink(缩小)．
Here’s what two of our readers think.
Playing video games can be beneficial because it requires skills like problem-solving, strategic(战略上的) thinking, and sometimes teamwork. A study by researchers at the University of Glasgow, in Scotland, found that playing video games improves your communication skills and ability to find ways to solve problems. Video games can also help you become more creative. For example, Minecraft requires you to think outside the box and build things with materials you never even knew existed(存在). You can build your dream house! Some schools are even using Minecraft to teach topics like math and computer science.
—Mackenzle Reldy, Nebraska
Playing video games takes time away from other more important things. I used to spend a lot of time playing them. Sometimes that kept me from doing things I needed to do, like studying my spelling words. Playing video games can also be bad for your health. Last year, researchers studied kids and teens in Canada who play video games. They found a connection between playing video games for hours before going to bed and being overweight.
—Devin Lewis, Arizona

When she got back into her 14 today she was all smiles.I could tell she had the same feeling as I had on that early Sunday morning.It was nice to have my coffee paid for，but what made me feel even better was seeing the happiness and smile on her face.

Many people may know Coachella, which is one of the largest, most famous and most profitable(盈利的) music festivals in the United States and all over the world. However, few people know Just for Laughs(JFL). Founded by Montreal producer Gilbert Rozon in 1983, Just for Laughs is the largest international comedy festival in the world. Paul Ronca, the festival’s director, describes Just for Laughs as the Coachella of comedy.“If you’re a fan of comedy or work in it, this festival should be at the very top of your list，” he says.
Just for Laughs was originally a two-day French-only comedy event. In 1985, Andy Nulman joined the festival’s staff and introduced English language events as well. Thanks to Andy Nulman, the festival grew from a two-day show to a month-long event drawing international audiences. In 1999, Nulman left the festival’s full-time employ. However, he directed its major shows at the Saint-Denis Theatre every July, and remained on the board of directors of the festival’s parent company. About 11 years later, Nulman returned to Just for Laughs in July 2010 as president of Festivals and Television.
Now Just for Laughs is coming to Africa. A joint venture(合资企业) between the great comedy brand and a South Africa’s company, Just for Laughs Africa will give the African comedians the opportunity of getting international publicity. The long-term continental partnership was announced during the 35th Montreal Comedy Festival, with the news that the first Just for Laughs Africa will take place in Durban, South Africa.
“We have already set up successful Just for Laughs festivals in many cities beyond Montreal including Toronto, Vancouver and Sydney, and we couldn’t be more excited by this new venture in South Africa，” says Gilbert Rozon, president and founder of the Just for Laughs Group.“The opportunity to bring the experience of the Just for Laughs team to developing African comedy was one we just couldn’t decline, so we agreed on the partnership，” says Gilbert Rozon.

On the third Sunday in June, Americans take time to recognise and thank a special person in the family—fathers! Father’s Day celebrates the importance of fathers, young and old and the men thought of as father figures.
“Like father, like son” is probably the most common father expression. It means a boy is very much like his father, and sons often do what their fathers did before them. This can be a good thing or a bad thing.
The words “the child is father of the man” come from William Wordsworth’s poem My Heart Leaps Up. It means people’s personalities form when they are children. They will most likely have the same qualities as an adult that they had as a child.
Used in everyday speech, one could say, “In this case, the child was father of the man; he loved nature as a child and now works as a botanist(植物学家)．”
Let’s say you want to tell a child a story about something that happened long before they were born. You could say it happened when they “were just a twinkle in their father’s eyes”. This expression has a humorous and dreamy feel. Here, the word “twinkle” suggests the interest your father had in your mother.
When a much older man is interested in a much younger woman and supports her with his money, he is called her “sugar daddy”. The money part is very important—that’s the sugar.
Sometimes fathers are not a good influence or active in the lives of the children. In that case, a person may look for a father figure, a man who is not actually the person’s father but who acts like one.
The relationship between a man and his son can be complex. But the relationship between a father and daughter is often simple. The expression “daddy’s little girl” is understood to mean that, in a father’s eyes, his daughter can do no wrong.
There is usually not a dry eye at any wedding during the traditional father-and-daughter dance, especially if they are dancing to a song like Michael Buble’s Daddy’s Little Girl.
【解题导语】 在六月的第三个星期日，美国人花时间认识和感谢家庭中的一个特别的人——父亲。本文以此展开，主要介绍了一些关于父亲的习语和表达。

Recently our class participated in a heated discussion about the advantages and the disadvantages of cooperative learning.
We are all for this learning method, thinking it saves time and improves our learning efficiency. Moreover, it provides us with the chance to solve difficult problems together, share our learning methods and learn from each other. But every coin has two sides. The negative aspects are also apparent. On the one hand, it is more likely to cause dependency when some members are reluctant to work. On the other hand, since students are working together on a group assignment, it is difficult for teachers to assess every student.
From my point of view, as long as we all play an active role in cooperative learning, its advantages outweigh its disadvantages.

A
The day after Thanksgiving is the start of the holiday shopping season. Thanksgiving is always on a Thursday, so the day after is a Friday. This day has come to be known as Black Friday. It has been the busiest shopping day of the year since 2005.
Most stores offer great deals on Black Friday. They open their doors very early in the morning. They try to attract shoppers with big discounts. Some products like TVs are much cheaper than usual. Stores may even lose money on these products. They hope that shoppers will buy gifts for other people while they are in the store.
Black Friday is a great time to get good deals. The problem is that there are not enough low-priced products to go around. Each store may only have a few.People stand in long lines to get such great deals, but not everyone who wants one will get one. Some people look crestfallen as they leave.
Some Black Friday events have been violent. Large crowds have trampled(踩踏) workers. Fights have broken out over toys or people cutting in line. But most Black Friday events are safe and fun. Still, if you plan on going, expect large crowds.
The name “Black Friday” was first used in Philadelphia in the 1950s. Police officers called this day Black Friday because of the heavy traffic it drew. In the 1960s, stores tried to rename the day “Big Friday”. It did not stick. The name “Black Friday” continued to be used across the country. It seems that it is here to stay.
Now people all over the country take part in Black Friday. It is even spreading to other parts of the world. Stores have held Black Friday events in the U．K., Australia, and Brazil since 2012. In Costa Rica Black Friday is known as “Viernes Negro”．

Just reading Facebook posts—without posting messages or responding to comments—makes users feel bad about themselves, some studies have discovered. A 2015 study at the University of Michigan, for example, found that students who simply read Facebook posts for 10 minutes were in a worse mood by the end of the day than those who posted messages or commented on friends’ posts.
Researchers think that users who only read posts may be always comparing their own lives to others’ posts and feel they’re coming up short. Or users may simply be missing out on face-to-face human communication. This is necessary and important for a healthier state of mind. “In general, when people spend a lot of time passively (被动地) receiving information—reading, but not interacting(交流)with people—they report feeling worse afterward，” said an unusual Facebook blog post.
The research appears to be bad news for Facebook, but Facebook itself is getting the negative news known to the public. In fact, the findings support the company’s push to get users to be more active on the site, the blog noted. Research has also found that “interacting with people-especially sharing messages, posts and comments with close friends and thinking of past interactions—is connected with improvements in well-being”．
One commenter to the Facebook blog post noted that “it’s no surprise that your conclusions-encouraging ‘active’ Facebook use-are connected with Facebook’s business interests. It gives Facebook chances to persuade us into sharing, commenting, and posting more than ever-for our own good！”
The company has faced a lot of negative news about Facebook. Former Facebook Vice President Chamath Palihapitiya told Stanford University graduate business students that social media are destroying society. Palihapitiya said he felt really bad for the role he played in making Facebook so outstanding.“We kind of knew something bad could happen.”
【解题导语】 本文是一篇说明文。研究发现，只在Facebook上浏览文章而不分享动态或与他人互动会使人心情变差。
5．What did the 2015 study mainly show?
A．Not all users considered Facebook useful.
B．Using Facebook in the right way could benefit us.
C．Not all people loved interacting with others on Facebook.

D 解析：细节理解题。根据第一段中的... students who simply read Facebook posts for 10 minutes were in a worse mood by the end of the day than those who posted messages or commented on friends’ posts.可知，这个研究表明：在Facebook上只浏览信息而不主动与他人互动会影响心情。
6．What does the underlined word “This” in paragraph 2 refer to?
A．Avoiding comparing ourselves with others.
B．Reading the posts on Facebook positively.
C．Interacting with others face-to-face.
D．Sharing experiences on Facebook.
C 解析：代词指代题。根据画线词前的Or users may simply be missing out on face-to-face human communication.可知，此处是指面对面交流对于保持一个健康的心态很重要，故This指代与他人面对面交流。
7．Why did Facebook make the findings known to the public?
A．To encourage people to use Facebook more.
B．To show Facebook’s concern about its users.
C．To apologise to its users for the bad influence.
D．To prove the importance of human interaction.
A 解析：推理判断题。根据第三段中的In fact, the findings support the company’s push to get users to be more active on the site...及第四段中的It gives Facebook chances to persuade us into sharing, commenting, and posting more than ever...可知，Facebook这样做是为了鼓励用户在该平台更活跃，即鼓励人们多使用该网站。
8．From what Chamath Palihapitiya said, we learn that ________．
A．Facebook has some disadvantages
B．Facebook is facing serious challenges
C．Facebook disappoints the public deeply
D．Facebook is improving some students’ life
A 解析：推理判断题。根据末段中的Palihapitiya said he felt really bad for the role he played in making Facebook so outstanding.“We kind of knew something bad could happen.”可知，Facebook存在一些弊端。

1．living 解析：考查动词-ing形式作定语的用法。设空处所在句意为“然而，住在哈尔滨的人不止能经受住寒冷，他们还欢迎寒冷天气的到来”，People与live之间是逻辑上的主谓关系，且live表示的动作正在发生，故填living。
2．which 解析：考查关系代词。设空处引导非限制性定语从句，补充说明Harbin International Ice and Snow Sculpture(雕塑) Festival，且在从句中作主语，故填which。
3．to see 解析：考查动词不定式作状语的用法。设空处所在句意为“尽管哈尔滨的气温接近零度，然而成千上万的人依然前往这座城市去看冰雕”，故填to see。to see great ice sculptures在此作目的状语。
4．Visitors 解析：考查名词复数。设空处作主语，表示“参观者”，因为visitor是可数名词且此处表示泛指，故填Visitors。
5．in 解析：考查介词。设空处所在部分意为“他们还可以参加运动项目”，故填in。take part in...意为“参加……”。
6．as 解析：考查固定搭配。as well as意为“和”。
7．its 解析：考查代词。设空处作定语限定icy event，表示“它的”，故填形容词性物主代词its。
8．celebration 解析：考查名词。设空处表示“庆祝活动”，因为其前有不定冠词，故填名词celebration。
9．began 解析：考查一般过去时。由时间状语in 1985可知，设空处表示的动作发生在过去，应用一般过去时，故填began。
10．Officially 解析：考查副词。设空处作状语修饰后面整个句子，表示“正式地”，故填副词Officially。

Recently our class participated in a heated discussion about whether elementary school students need homework. Different students hold different views.
Some are in favour of homework in elementary school. They view it as a way for students to review what they are learning in school and develop good learning habits. Homework also helps students practice how to plan their time. However, others are against it. They argue homework occupies too much of students’ time, which can be used to do meaningful activities like reading and painting. Another reason is that homework causes great stress in students’ mentality.
As far as I am concerned, homework serves an important purpose for elementary school students. If schools focus on high-quality and enjoyable homework, students will benefit a lot from it.

6．Next moment she found that what was rubbing against her face and hands was no longer soft fur but something hard and rough and even prickly.
分析：该句是一个主从复合句。found之后的that从句是一个宾语从句，宾语从句的基本结构是主＋系＋表。从句中的what was rubbing against her face and hands又是一个主语从句，表示“摩擦到她的脸和手的东西”。之后的but与前面的no longer相对应，表示“不是……而是……”。
The Chronicles of Narnia (excerpt)
Looking into the inside, she saw several coats hanging up—mostly long fur coats. There was nothing Lucy liked so much as the smell and feel of fur. She immediately stepped into the wardrobe and got in among the coats and rubbed her face against them, leaving the door open, of course, because she knew that it is very foolish to shut oneself into any wardrobe. Soon she went further in and found that there was a second row of coats hanging up behind the first one. It was almost quite dark in there and she kept her arms stretched out in front of her so as not to bump her face into the back of the wardrobe. She took a step further in—then two or three steps always expecting to feel woodwork against the tips of her fingers. But she could not feel it.
“This must be a simply enormous wardrobe！”， thought Lucy, going still further in and pushing the soft folds of the coats aside to make room for her. Then she noticed that there was something crunching under her feet. “I wonder is that more mothballs？” she thought, stooping down to feel it with her hand. But instead of feeling the hard, smooth wood of the floor of the wardrobe, she felt something soft and powdery and extremely cold. “This is very queer，” she said, and went on a step or two further.
Next moment she found that what was rubbing against her face and hands was no longer soft fur but something hard and rough and even prickly. “Why, it is just like branches of trees！” exclaimed Lucy. And then she saw that there was a light ahead of her; not a few inches away where the back of the wardrobe ought to have been, but a long way off. Something cold and soft was falling on her. A moment later she found that she was standing in the middle of a wood at night-time with snow under her feet and snowflakes falling through the air.
《纳尼亚传奇》(节选)
她朝橱里仔细看了一下，里面并排挂着好几件外套，几乎全都是长长的皮外套。这些衣服摸上去软绵绵的，还带有清香，露茜高兴极了。她一步跨进衣橱，挤到皮衣中间，把她的小脸蛋贴在毛茸茸的皮衣上轻轻地摩擦。当然喽，她让橱门开在那儿，因为她知道，一个人把自己关在衣橱里是非常愚蠢的。她往里挪动了一下身子，发现在第一排衣服的后面还挂着一排衣服，里面黑乎乎的。她把两只手往前伸，生怕自己的脸碰到了橱的后壁。她向前又跨了一步，接着两步、三步，想用手指尖摸到木头的橱壁，但她始终没能摸到。
“这个衣橱多大啊！”露茜一边暗自想，一边又继续往前走。她不时拨开交叠着的柔软的皮衣，为自己开路。这时，她感到脚底下有什么东西在“吱嘎”“吱嘎”作响。“我难道踩着了樟脑丸了？”她一边想，一边蹲下身来用手去摸。然而她摸到的不是坚硬而又光滑的木头橱底，而是一样柔软的、粉末似的、冰冷的东西。“多么奇怪啊？”她一边说，一边又朝前走了一两步。
她很快就发现，碰在她脸上和手上的已不再是软绵绵的皮毛了，而是一种又坚硬又粗糙甚至有点扎手的东西。“哎呦，这像树枝嘛！”露茜一声惊叫。这时，她看见前面亮着一盏灯。本来衣橱后壁只有几英寸远，但这盏灯看上去却在老远老远的地方。一种轻飘飘的冰冷的东西落在她身上。一会儿以后，她发现自己站在深夜的树林中，雪花正从空中飘落下来，她的脚下全是积雪。

1．living 解析：考查动词-ing形式作定语的用法。设空处所在句意为“然而，住在哈尔滨的人不止能经受住寒冷，他们还欢迎寒冷天气的到来”，People与live之间是逻辑上的主谓关系，且live表示的动作正在发生，故填living。

3．to see 解析：考查动词不定式作状语的用法。设空处所在句意为“尽管哈尔滨的气温接近零度，然而成千上万的人依然前往这座城市去看冰雕”，故填to see。to see great ice sculptures在此作目的状语。

One possible version：
Recently our class participated in a heated discussion about whether elementary school students need homework. Different students hold different views.
Some are in favour of homework in elementary school. They view it as a way for students to review what they are learning in school and develop good learning habits. Homework also helps students practice how to plan their time. However, others are against it. They argue homework occupies too much of students’ time, which can be used to do meaningful activities like reading and painting. Another reason is that homework causes great stress in students’ mentality.
As far as I am concerned, homework serves an important purpose for elementary school students. If schools focus on high-quality and enjoyable homework, students will benefit a lot from it.

[词句积累]
1．wardrobe/'w??dr??b/ n．衣柜，衣橱
2．rub /r?b/v.摩擦，接触
3．stretch /stret?/v.伸展，延伸

6．Next moment she found that what was rubbing against her face and hands was no longer soft fur but something hard and rough and even prickly.
分析：该句是一个主从复合句。found之后的that从句是一个宾语从句，宾语从句的基本结构是主＋系＋表。从句中的what was rubbing against her face and hands又是一个主语从句，表示“摩擦到她的脸和手的东西”。之后的but与前面的no longer相对应，表示“不是……而是……”。
The Chronicles of Narnia (excerpt)
Looking into the inside, she saw several coats hanging up—mostly long fur coats. There was nothing Lucy liked so much as the smell and feel of fur. She immediately stepped into the wardrobe and got in among the coats and rubbed her face against them, leaving the door open, of course, because she knew that it is very foolish to shut oneself into any wardrobe. Soon she went further in and found that there was a second row of coats hanging up behind the first one. It was almost quite dark in there and she kept her arms stretched out in front of her so as not to bump her face into the back of the wardrobe. She took a step further in—then two or three steps always expecting to feel woodwork against the tips of her fingers. But she could not feel it.
“This must be a simply enormous wardrobe！”， thought Lucy, going still further in and pushing the soft folds of the coats aside to make room for her. Then she noticed that there was something crunching under her feet. “I wonder is that more mothballs？” she thought, stooping down to feel it with her hand. But instead of feeling the hard, smooth wood of the floor of the wardrobe, she felt something soft and powdery and extremely cold. “This is very queer，” she said, and went on a step or two further.
Next moment she found that what was rubbing against her face and hands was no longer soft fur but something hard and rough and even prickly. “Why, it is just like branches of trees！” exclaimed Lucy. And then she saw that there was a light ahead of her; not a few inches away where the back of the wardrobe ought to have been, but a long way off. Something cold and soft was falling on her. A moment later she found that she was standing in the middle of a wood at night-time with snow under her feet and snowflakes falling through the air.
《纳尼亚传奇》(节选)
她朝橱里仔细看了一下，里面并排挂着好几件外套，几乎全都是长长的皮外套。这些衣服摸上去软绵绵的，还带有清香，露茜高兴极了。她一步跨进衣橱，挤到皮衣中间，把她的小脸蛋贴在毛茸茸的皮衣上轻轻地摩擦。当然喽，她让橱门开在那儿，因为她知道，一个人把自己关在衣橱里是非常愚蠢的。她往里挪动了一下身子，发现在第一排衣服的后面还挂着一排衣服，里面黑乎乎的。她把两只手往前伸，生怕自己的脸碰到了橱的后壁。她向前又跨了一步，接着两步、三步，想用手指尖摸到木头的橱壁，但她始终没能摸到。
“这个衣橱多大啊！”露茜一边暗自想，一边又继续往前走。她不时拨开交叠着的柔软的皮衣，为自己开路。这时，她感到脚底下有什么东西在“吱嘎”“吱嘎”作响。“我难道踩着了樟脑丸了？”她一边想，一边蹲下身来用手去摸。然而她摸到的不是坚硬而又光滑的木头橱底，而是一样柔软的、粉末似的、冰冷的东西。“多么奇怪啊？”她一边说，一边又朝前走了一两步。
她很快就发现，碰在她脸上和手上的已不再是软绵绵的皮毛了，而是一种又坚硬又粗糙甚至有点扎手的东西。“哎呦，这像树枝嘛！”露茜一声惊叫。这时，她看见前面亮着一盏灯。本来衣橱后壁只有几英寸远，但这盏灯看上去却在老远老远的地方。一种轻飘飘的冰冷的东西落在她身上。一会儿以后，她发现自己站在深夜的树林中，雪花正从空中飘落下来，她的脚下全是积雪。

A
I think a close friend is someone who 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

Maggie had never experienced an earthquake before, only prepared for it. As long as she could remember, preparing for an earthquake was routine(常规的) at school. Her family as well had made plans in the event of a natural disaster. Earthquakes are so much more common on the West Coast of the United States.
Today Maggie was home alone. Maggie knew her mom would be driving home on the busy freeway, thinking about preparing supper for Maggie’s dad. Maggie’s dad would arrive at the airport. He was coming home from a two-week business trip.
Maggie arrived home from school at the regular time. She was taking some biscuits from the kitchen cupboard, when she felt it. First just a tremor(微震), then the violent shaking. Maggie quickly ran under the large, wooden table in the dining room. The sounds of breaking glass and the crashing(坠落声) of many things were frightening. But the table remained undamaged, and Maggie hid herself in fear.
After what seemed like a century the earthquake appeared to be over. Maggie could hear the sound of water rushing below her in the basement. The smell of natural gas was present in the air. Maggie knew where the main water valve(阀门) was located. Dad had shown her where it was and how to turn it off. Slowly and carefully she came out from under the table. The once tidy home was now almost unrecognizable. As Maggie reached the open basement door she could see the steps were still in good condition. She carefully made her way down into the dark basement. While still on the steps she felt the water rising and rising.

The arts，especially music，should be part of every school’s lessons at every grade level.Students would be much smarter if they had some musical experience.They could improve their classroom skills，like paying attention and following directions.People develop all these skills when they learn music.Making music also lets children use their imagination.It provides students with a chance to try out their own ideas.
Music not only makes children better students，but also gives them something positive to do.In a music programme，children can be part of a band instead of joining a gang(团伙)．Parents can enjoy listening to their children’s music instead of seeing them glued to a computer or TV screen.In a school band，students get to be part of a team.They can get along well with old friends and make new friends through music.
Music builds self-confidence，too.It gives children a sense of achievement and success.Making music is something for them to be proud of，and it lets kids practise performing in front of audience.Music gives children an opportunity for self-expression，and that helps develop their self-confidence.
Once again，music is important because it can make children better students，give them something positive to do，and build their character.That is why music should be offered in every single grade in every school.

Certain countries have taken strict action on smoking by completely banning it. However, people across the world still do not take it seriously. Around the world, about 10 million cigarettes are bought in a minute, 15 billion are sold each day, and over 5，000 billion are produced and used per year.
If people out on the streets or in front of supermarkets smoke openly, others passing by these smokers will breathe the smoke unwillingly, which can increase their risks of getting health problems unfortunately. In fact, one little cigarette contains about 7，000 chemicals, 69 of which have been proven to cause cancers. Cigarette smoke without doubt does no good to humans. Worldwide tobacco(烟草) causes 6 million deaths per year, and that means there is one death every 5 seconds.
Cigarettes are made from tobacco leaves. They originally take in all the carbon from the air as they grow. When you smoke them, you’re just returning the carbon to the air. Thus, cigarettes increase the detrimental chemicals in the air that finally damage the quality of the air. To tell the truth, the air pollution caused by cigarettes is 10 times greater than that by cars.
I have already made sure that smoking pollutes the air, but unfortunately, the damage to the environment does not stop there. It’s estimated that 1.69 billion pounds of cigarette butts(烟头) become rubbish each year. The rubbish can almost be found everywhere, which is the most ignored problem of the cigarettes. About 2 million of these cigarette butts are found in water, which results in the death of some animals. The cigarette butts that are thrown away carelessly can be dangerous to animals both on land and in the water.
The only measure that we can take to improve this situation is to stop smoking and more importantly, to stop littering(乱扔) cigarette butts. Take care of yourself and take care of the environment by putting a stop to smoking.

A．The chemicals included in cigarettes.
B．The health problems caused by smoking.
C．The importance of avoiding smoking passively.
D．The negative effects of smoking on human health.

34．What does the underlined word “detrimental” in paragraph 3 probably mean?
A．Rare. B．Harmful.
C．Major. D．Different.

35．The most unnoticed problem about cigarettes is that cigarette butts ________．
A．pollute the water

【解题导语】 本文是一篇说明文。友谊是珍贵的，但好朋友不好找。作者就如何交到好朋友给出了几点建议。
36．B 解析：设空处前一句讲友谊是珍贵的，设空处后一句中的But表示语义转折——努力走出舒适区，你就可以轻松交到朋友。B项(有时候，好朋友是很难找到的)与设空处后一句构成语义上的转折关系，符合语境。
37．G 解析：设空处后一句表示“事实上，一些最珍贵的友谊存在于两个根本没多少共同点的人之间”。G项(和人交朋友你不必和他们有很多共同的爱好)符合语境，且与设空处前一句中的common interests相呼应，故选G项。
38．A 解析：根据篇章结构可判断设空处为本段的主题句。由本段中出现的playing a special sport，enjoy the sport，support your teammates和joining a team可判断出A项(加入一支运动队)符合语境。
39．E 解析：本段主题Volunteer与E项中的devote your time to a local nursing home or a hospital相呼应。故选E项。
40．D 解析：根据设空处前一句If you want to make friends，you first need to put yourself out there somehow to meet people.可知，此处讲的是要多和别人接触。设空处后一句“不一定非得是一张拥挤的桌子，但至少有另外两个人”与D项中的sit somewhere with other people相呼应。

Dear editor，
Last year，I went to England for a student exchange programme. Before I went，I was quite proud of my English，but everyone in England spoke so fast that I couldn’t make out what they were saying.
However，things soon got better.The homestay family was very kind，who not only made my stay enjoyable and stress free，but also helped me a lot in English in daily life.
Being an exchange student offers me a chance to improve my English and learn about the foreign culture.The best part is knowing that I could cope，even in such a difficult situation.
Yours，
Li Hua
第二节(满分25分)
阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。续写的词数应为150左右。
I watched from a distance as the homeless man quarreled with those who did not leave money for him—the majority.
I walked up to him and right on queue he asked me for a quarter.“I’ll give you a quarter if you tell me your story.”He laughed，“You’ll give me a quarter for my story？”I lay the quarter in front of him and corrected myself—“Nah, here’s the quarter but it would be nice to hear your story.”I followed his eyes to the quarter and for a brief moment I saw a bright reflection. I sat down next to him and waited.
“I was in the army，”he said.“I was a sniper(狙击手)and was supposed to shoot down the enemy from the distance.”I listened carefully to his rough voice as he went deeper into the story. He told me how he used to hunt with his family and was really good at it. He had his own way of respecting animals by not wasting what he killed for food and not killing more than he needed. When the army came knocking on his door, he felt pride and joined up. All those years of polishing his hunting skills could now serve a larger purpose—to defend us from the bad guys. He set out to fight in Iraq.
It wasn’t long before he realized his ideals and expectations were just a shadow of the truth.“I was a sniper but I never really killed anyone innocent，”he said.“One day I had to do it. They asked me to shoot this lady from the distance. I saw kids near that lady and my hands were on the trigger (扳机). Man, I was tearing up...I couldn’t do it.”
Paragraph 1：
“She wasn’t doing anything to anyone and she was with the kids.______________________
________________________________________________________________________________
________________________________________________________________________________
________________________________________________________________________________
________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2：
The story went on as he described eventually being put into prison for 180 days for refusing to follow orders.____________________________________________________________________
________________________________________________________________________________
________________________________________________________________________________
________________________________________________________________________________
________________________________________________________________________________
One possible version：
Paragraph 1：
“She wasn’t doing anything to anyone and she was with the kids. With tears welling up, I thought of my own wife and my kid. It just didn’t make any sense to me to kill the lady, who was totally innocent. Who said she deserved to die when we had solid ground to live on? Instead of letting go the bullet and shooting down the lady dead on the spot, I pretended to have missed my target.”
Paragraph 2:
The story went on as he described eventually being put into prison for 180 days for refusing to follow orders. He told me how he was blacklisted so that he couldn’t get a job. What he could do was to beg for a quarter from any passer-by to make ends meet. By punishing him in this way, justice seemed to have done what was right—but for what? For refusing to kill the lady? For not being brave？“I have no regrets. I may be homeless now, but I never killed that lady for I wouldn’t be able to live with killing innocent people.”The pride on his face convinced me I had met a real hero. It just never occurred to me that a hero could be a smelly old man left on streets.
