A high school history teacher once told us, “If you make one close friend in school, you will be most fortunate. A true friend is someone who stays with you for life.” 41 teaches that he was right. Good friendship is just not easily 42 .
It is possible that we simply do not stay in one place long enough for a 43 friendship to 44 . However, there can be 45 agreement on the need for each of us to think carefully about the kind of friendship we want.
To most of us, friendships are considered very important, but we need to have clear in our 46 the kinds of friendship we want.

But it 53 be undertaken slowly and carried on only if there are 54 of interest and action in return.
What are some of the 55 of friendship The greatest is the attraction to expect too much too soon. Deep relationships 56 time. Another “major difficulty” is the selfishness to think one “possesses” the other, including his time and attention. Similarly, friendships 57 actions in return. In 58 words, you must give as much as you take. Finally there is a question of taking care of. Unless you spend 59 time together talking on phone, writing letters, doing things together, friendships will die 60 .

第三部分 阅读理解 (共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分)
A
When John Weston awoke that morning，he remembered that his mother was going into hospital. He hadn’t worked out quite what was wrong with her. He knew, though, that she hadn’t been well for some time now, and it had become almost familiar to him to see her eyes narrowed in a sudden attack of pain, and her hand pressing against her heart. Their own doctor, who she had finally gone to for advice，had sent her to a specialist who knew all about these things. He had told her that just as soon as there was a bed for her，she would have to come into his hospital where he could look after her himself.
During the weeks since then the pains had come even more frequently, and the narrowed eyes became an almost permanent part of her expression. Always rather sharp, she began losing her temper over little things so that John’s father kept his thoughts to himself more and more. John, as ready as possible to make allowances, tried to think what it would be like to have toothache all the time and how bad-tempered that would make you.
So his mother would go into hospital for a few days. He was going to stay with his Aunt Daisy till she came back, and his father would stay on at home by himself. John’s cousin, Mona, was to come in and make the bed and wash the pots and dust round, now and again. That was the arrangement, and John didn’t care much for it. Apart from missing his mother (and he was glad she was going away because they would make her better), he wasn’t very fond of his Aunt Daisy because she was even more bad-tempered than his mother.
61. Mrs. Weston went to see her doctor_____.
A. as soon as she realized that something was wrong
B. only after her husband advised her to
C. a long time after the trouble began
D. when John asked what was wrong with her
62. What did Mrs. Weston’s own doctor decide to do
A. Get an expert to examine her B. Send her to hospital.
C. Treat her himself. D. Advise her to wait for a few weeks.
63. Mrs. Weston’s more frequent bad temper made her husband____.
A. become bad-tempered, too
B. spend less and less time at home
C. lose his temper more often with John
D. become more and more quiet
64. How did John react to his mother’s bad temper
A. He tried to imagine himself in her place.
B. He tried not to notice it.
C. He pretended he had toothache.
D. He behaved himself as well as possible.
B
At no time in history has there been such a mass(大规模的) movement of people from the countryside to the city as is happening now. By the year 2030, it’s estimated（估计） that more than two thirds of the world’s population will be living in cities, twice as many as today. This means that the problems faced by cities today—overcrowding, poor housing, unemployment, poverty(贫穷) and lack of food and water—will be twice as bad, unless we find solutions soon.
Another serious issue is how to provide good transportation for their citizens. Many of the world’s major cities are already struggling with out-of-date transport infrastructures(基本设施). How can they deal with the additional demands
London is a good example. Its enlargement was made possible by the invention of the steam engine, which powered the world’s first underground railway. But its transport system are now hopelessly out-of-date and need urgent modernization. London’s future success depends very much on developing better public transport.
Over a million people travel into central London every day from outside the city. They, together with the people who live in London, want a public transport system that is efficient, safe and environmentally friendly. What they often get, however, falls far short of that ideal. Passengers complain about cost and pollution, while businesses worry about the problems their staff have in getting to work on time. Yes, the proportion of London households that own a car grew from just over ten percent in the early 1950s to over sixty percent today.
As the city has become increasingly crowded and polluted, there has been a growing realization that action must be taken soon.
65The passage is mainly written to tell us that ________.
it’s difficult to solve the problem faced by cities today
overpopulation causes the problems in cities like London
possible solutions to cities’ transport problems will be found soon
public transport plays an important role in developments in major cities
66. The underlined word “they” in fourth paragraph refers to _______.
A. the citizens in the city of London
B. those who come to London from other places
C. passengers who make complaints about the cost
D. businesses who are anxious about their staff getting to work late
67. We can infer that in the following paragraph the writer would most probably deal with ______.
A. traffic jams in London streets
B. London’s future in train and air travel
C. possible solutions to London’s traffic problems
D. the improvement of the citizen’s living conditions
The underlined words “environmentally friendly” is closest in meaning to ________.
A. pleasant and nonpolluting B. cheap and punctual
C. quick and straight D. fair and convenient
C
Want to take an out-of-this-world trip Richard Branson's Virgin Galactic plans to make that possible. Beginning in 2009, people should have the opportunity to become space tourists, traveling at about 3,000 mph to heights about 75 miles above Earth. Branson has high hopes for his latest plans. "It is just the start of what we believe will be a new age in the history of mankind—one day making the affordable exploration of space by human beings a real possibility," he said.
At the start, though, the trip won’t be cheap. Seats aboard Virgin’s first craft—VSS Enterprise—will cost about $200,000. Prices could drop after the first hundred space flights. Despite the current ticket cost, more than 30,000 people—including celebrities(名人) Sigourney Weaver and Victoria Principal—have expressed interest in getting onboard.
People who don't have an extra $200,000 still have a chance to get a seat aboard the craft. A computer game contest and a reality television show are in the works. Those who can’t afford a ticket will have an opportunity to win a seat.
Virgin is expected to be the first commercial(商业的) spacecraft. It will hold six passengers and two pilots. Passengers will be able to see the Earth from many different viewpoints. The cabin will include 15 floor-to-ceiling windows, allowing for views that extend about 1,000 miles in any direction.
Passengers will have three days of preflight preparation. On the big day, the spacecraft will take off from the Mojave Spaceport in the California desert. The craft will rocket passengers into space at four times the speed of sound. The journey will last about 21.2 hours. Passengers will wear spacesuits and helmets(头盔). They will be able to float around the cabin and do somersaults(空翻) during the five minutes of weightlessness they will experience in zero gravity. At the end of the flight, the craft will land on a runway.
69. Virgin Galactic could be _____.
A. the engineer of the first commercial spacecraft
B. the name of a series of spacecrafts
C. the company of the first commercial spacecraft
D. a passenger aboard the first commercial spacecraft
70. The space passengers will do all the following except that _____.
A. they will receive a three-day training course B. they will wear spacesuits and helmets
C. they will take about $200,000 with them D. they will experience weightlessness
71. Which statement is true according to the passage
A. More than 30,000 people have got to travel in spacecraft.
B. Many people signed up for space travel in spite of the high ticket cost.
C. Those without much money could also go space travel without occupying the seats.
D. The first commercial spacecraft will have six persons on board.
72. What is the text mainly about
A. The exciting moment of the spacecraft’s launching.
B. The living condition of space tourists in the craft.
C. Preparations for a space travel.
D. Plans for the first commercial space flight.
D
Everybody is happy as his pay rises. Yet pleasure at your own can disappear if you learn that a fellow worker has been given a bigger one. Indeed, if he is known as being lazy, you might even be quite cross. Such behavior is regarded as “all too human”, with the underlying belief that other animals would not be able to have this finely developed sense of sadness. But a study by Sarah Brosnan of Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia, which has just been published in Nature, suggests that it is all too monkey, as well.
The researchers studied the behaviors of some kind of female brown monkeys.
They look smart. They are good-natured, co-operative creatures, and they share their food happily .Above all, like females human beings, they tend to pay much closer attention to the value of “goods and services” than males.
Such characteristics make them perfect subjects for Doctor Brosnan’s study. The researchers spent two years teaching their monkeys to exchange tokens（奖券）for food. Normally, the monkeys were happy enough to exchange pieces of rock for pieces of cucumber. However, when two monkeys were placed in separate and connected rooms, so that each other could observe what the other is getting in return for its rock, they became quite different.
In the world of monkeys ,grapes are excellent goods（and much preferable to cucumbers）. So when one monkey was handed a grape in exchange for her token, the second was not willing to hand hers over for a mere piece of cucumber. And if one received a grape without having to provide her token in exchange at all, the other either shook her own token at the researcher, or refused to accept the cucumber. Indeed, the mere presence of a grape in the other room(without an actual monkey to eat it) was enough to bring about dissatisfaction in a female monkey.
The researches suggest that these monkeys, like humans, are guided by social senses. In the wild, they are co-operative and group-living. Such co-operation is likely to be firm only when each animal feels it is not being cheated. Feelings of anger when unfairly treated, it seems, are not the nature of human beings alone. Refusing a smaller reward completely makes these feelings clear to other animals of the group. However, whether such a sense of fairness developed independently in monkeys and humans, or whether it comes from the common roots that they had 35 million years ago, is ,as yet, an unanswered question.
73. According to the passage, which of the following statements is true
A. Only monkeys and humans can have the sense of fairness in the world.
B. Women will show more dissatisfaction than men when unfairly treated.
C. In the wild, monkeys are never unhappy to share their food with each other.
D. Monkeys can exchange cucumbers for grapes ,for grapes are more attractive.
74. The underlined statement “it is all too monkey” means that .
A. monkeys are also angry with lazy fellows
B. feeling bitter at unfairness is also monkey’s nature
C. monkeys, like humans, tend to be envious of each other
D. no animals other than monkeys can develop such feelings
75. Which of the following conclusions is TRUE according to the passage
A. Human beings’ feeling of anger are developed from the monkeys.
B. In the research, male monkeys are less likely to exchange food with others.
C. Co-operation between monkeys stays firm before the realization of being cheated.
D. Only monkeys and humans have the sense of fairness which dates back to 35 million years
ago.

A high school history teacher once told us, “If you make one close friend in school, you will be most fortunate. A true friend is someone who stays with you for life.” 41 teaches that he was right. Good friendship is just not easily 42 .
It is possible that we simply do not stay in one place long enough for a 43 friendship to 44 . However, there can be 45 agreement on the need for each of us to think carefully about the kind of friendship we want.
To most of us, friendships are considered very important, but we need to have clear in our 46 the kinds of friendship we want. Are they to be close or 47 at arm’s length Do we want to 48 ourselves or do we want to walk on the surface For some people, many friendships on the surface are 49 enough and that’s all right. But at some point we need to 50 that our expectations are the same as our friends’ expectations. The sharing of 51 experiences 52 our tears as well as our dark dreams is the surest way to deepen friendships. But it 53 be undertaken slowly and carried on only if there are 54 of interest and action in return.
What are some of the 55 of friendship The greatest is the attraction to expect too much too soon. Deep relationships 56 time. Another “major difficulty” is the selfishness to think one “possesses” the other, including his time and attention. Similarly, friendships 57 actions in return. In 58 words, you must give as much as you take. Finally there is a question of taking care of. Unless you spend 59 time together talking on phone, writing letters, doing things together, friendships will die 60 .

第三部分 阅读理解 (共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分)
A
When John Weston awoke that morning，he remembered that his mother was going into hospital. He hadn’t worked out quite what was wrong with her. He knew, though, that she hadn’t been well for some time now, and it had become almost familiar to him to see her eyes narrowed in a sudden attack of pain, and her hand pressing against her heart. Their own doctor, who she had finally gone to for advice，had sent her to a specialist who knew all about these things. He had told her that just as soon as there was a bed for her，she would have to come into his hospital where he could look after her himself.
During the weeks since then the pains had come even more frequently, and the narrowed eyes became an almost permanent part of her expression. Always rather sharp, she began losing her temper over little things so that John’s father kept his thoughts to himself more and more. John, as ready as possible to make allowances, tried to think what it would be like to have toothache all the time and how bad-tempered that would make you.
So his mother would go into hospital for a few days. He was going to stay with his Aunt Daisy till she came back, and his father would stay on at home by himself. John’s cousin, Mona, was to come in and make the bed and wash the pots and dust round, now and again. That was the arrangement, and John didn’t care much for it. Apart from missing his mother (and he was glad she was going away because they would make her better), he wasn’t very fond of his Aunt Daisy because she was even more bad-tempered than his mother.
61. Mrs. Weston went to see her doctor_____.
A. as soon as she realized that something was wrong
B. only after her husband advised her to
C. a long time after the trouble began
D. when John asked what was wrong with her
62. What did Mrs. Weston’s own doctor decide to do
A. Get an expert to examine her B. Send her to hospital.
C. Treat her himself. D. Advise her to wait for a few weeks.
63. Mrs. Weston’s more frequent bad temper made her husband____.
A. become bad-tempered, too
B. spend less and less time at home
C. lose his temper more often with John
D. become more and more quiet
64. How did John react to his mother’s bad temper
A. He tried to imagine himself in her place.
B. He tried not to notice it.
C. He pretended he had toothache.
D. He behaved himself as well as possible.
B
At no time in history has there been such a mass(大规模的) movement of people from the countryside to the city as is happening now. By the year 2030, it’s estimated（估计） that more than two thirds of the world’s population will be living in cities, twice as many as today. This means that the problems faced by cities today—overcrowding, poor housing, unemployment, poverty(贫穷) and lack of food and water—will be twice as bad, unless we find solutions soon.
Another serious issue is how to provide good transportation for their citizens. Many of the world’s major cities are already struggling with out-of-date transport infrastructures(基本设施). How can they deal with the additional demands
London is a good example. Its enlargement was made possible by the invention of the steam engine, which powered the world’s first underground railway. But its transport system are now hopelessly out-of-date and need urgent modernization. London’s future success depends very much on developing better public transport.
Over a million people travel into central London every day from outside the city. They, together with the people who live in London, want a public transport system that is efficient, safe and environmentally friendly. What they often get, however, falls far short of that ideal. Passengers complain about cost and pollution, while businesses worry about the problems their staff have in getting to work on time. Yes, the proportion of London households that own a car grew from just over ten percent in the early 1950s to over sixty percent today.
As the city has become increasingly crowded and polluted, there has been a growing realization that action must be taken soon.
65The passage is mainly written to tell us that ________.
it’s difficult to solve the problem faced by cities today
overpopulation causes the problems in cities like London
possible solutions to cities’ transport problems will be found soon
public transport plays an important role in developments in major cities
66. The underlined word “they” in fourth paragraph refers to _______.
A. the citizens in the city of London
B. those who come to London from other places
C. passengers who make complaints about the cost
D. businesses who are anxious about their staff getting to work late
67. We can infer that in the following paragraph the writer would most probably deal with ______.
A. traffic jams in London streets
B. London’s future in train and air travel
C. possible solutions to London’s traffic problems
D. the improvement of the citizen’s living conditions
The underlined words “environmentally friendly” is closest in meaning to ________.
A. pleasant and nonpolluting B. cheap and punctual
C. quick and straight D. fair and convenient
C
Want to take an out-of-this-world trip Richard Branson's Virgin Galactic plans to make that possible. Beginning in 2009, people should have the opportunity to become space tourists, traveling at about 3,000 mph to heights about 75 miles above Earth. Branson has high hopes for his latest plans. "It is just the start of what we believe will be a new age in the history of mankind—one day making the affordable exploration of space by human beings a real possibility," he said.
At the start, though, the trip won’t be cheap. Seats aboard Virgin’s first craft—VSS Enterprise—will cost about $200,000. Prices could drop after the first hundred space flights. Despite the current ticket cost, more than 30,000 people—including celebrities(名人) Sigourney Weaver and Victoria Principal—have expressed interest in getting onboard.
People who don't have an extra $200,000 still have a chance to get a seat aboard the craft. A computer game contest and a reality television show are in the works. Those who can’t afford a ticket will have an opportunity to win a seat.
Virgin is expected to be the first commercial(商业的) spacecraft. It will hold six passengers and two pilots. Passengers will be able to see the Earth from many different viewpoints. The cabin will include 15 floor-to-ceiling windows, allowing for views that extend about 1,000 miles in any direction.
Passengers will have three days of preflight preparation. On the big day, the spacecraft will take off from the Mojave Spaceport in the California desert. The craft will rocket passengers into space at four times the speed of sound. The journey will last about 21.2 hours. Passengers will wear spacesuits and helmets(头盔). They will be able to float around the cabin and do somersaults(空翻) during the five minutes of weightlessness they will experience in zero gravity. At the end of the flight, the craft will land on a runway.
69. Virgin Galactic could be _____.
A. the engineer of the first commercial spacecraft
B. the name of a series of spacecrafts
C. the company of the first commercial spacecraft
D. a passenger aboard the first commercial spacecraft
70. The space passengers will do all the following except that _____.
A. they will receive a three-day training course B. they will wear spacesuits and helmets
C. they will take about $200,000 with them D. they will experience weightlessness
71. Which statement is true according to the passage
A. More than 30,000 people have got to travel in spacecraft.
B. Many people signed up for space travel in spite of the high ticket cost.
C. Those without much money could also go space travel without occupying the seats.
D. The first commercial spacecraft will have six persons on board.
72. What is the text mainly about
A. The exciting moment of the spacecraft’s launching.
B. The living condition of space tourists in the craft.
C. Preparations for a space travel.
D. Plans for the first commercial space flight.
D
Everybody is happy as his pay rises. Yet pleasure at your own can disappear if you learn that a fellow worker has been given a bigger one. Indeed, if he is known as being lazy, you might even be quite cross. Such behavior is regarded as “all too human”, with the underlying belief that other animals would not be able to have this finely developed sense of sadness. But a study by Sarah Brosnan of Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia, which has just been published in Nature, suggests that it is all too monkey, as well.
The researchers studied the behaviors of some kind of female brown monkeys.
They look smart. They are good-natured, co-operative creatures, and they share their food happily .Above all, like females human beings, they tend to pay much closer attention to the value of “goods and services” than males.
Such characteristics make them perfect subjects for Doctor Brosnan’s study. The researchers spent two years teaching their monkeys to exchange tokens（奖券）for food. Normally, the monkeys were happy enough to exchange pieces of rock for pieces of cucumber. However, when two monkeys were placed in separate and connected rooms, so that each other could observe what the other is getting in return for its rock, they became quite different.
In the world of monkeys ,grapes are excellent goods（and much preferable to cucumbers）. So when one monkey was handed a grape in exchange for her token, the second was not willing to hand hers over for a mere piece of cucumber. And if one received a grape without having to provide her token in exchange at all, the other either shook her own token at the researcher, or refused to accept the cucumber. Indeed, the mere presence of a grape in the other room(without an actual monkey to eat it) was enough to bring about dissatisfaction in a female monkey.
The researches suggest that these monkeys, like humans, are guided by social senses. In the wild, they are co-operative and group-living. Such co-operation is likely to be firm only when each animal feels it is not being cheated. Feelings of anger when unfairly treated, it seems, are not the nature of human beings alone. Refusing a smaller reward completely makes these feelings clear to other animals of the group. However, whether such a sense of fairness developed independently in monkeys and humans, or whether it comes from the common roots that they had 35 million years ago, is ,as yet, an unanswered question.
73. According to the passage, which of the following statements is true
A. Only monkeys and humans can have the sense of fairness in the world.
B. Women will show more dissatisfaction than men when unfairly treated.
C. In the wild, monkeys are never unhappy to share their food with each other.
D. Monkeys can exchange cucumbers for grapes ,for grapes are more attractive.
74. The underlined statement “it is all too monkey” means that .
A. monkeys are also angry with lazy fellows
B. feeling bitter at unfairness is also monkey’s nature
C. monkeys, like humans, tend to be envious of each other
D. no animals other than monkeys can develop such feelings
75. Which of the following conclusions is TRUE according to the passage
A. Human beings’ feeling of anger are developed from the monkeys.
B. In the research, male monkeys are less likely to exchange food with others.
C. Co-operation between monkeys stays firm before the realization of being cheated.
D. Only monkeys and humans have the sense of fairness which dates back to 35 million years
ago.
