A good friend can help you study. You can have fun together and make each other happy. Sometimes you will meet fair-weather friends. They will be with you as long as you have money or luck, but when you are down, they will run away. How do I know when I have found a good friend? I look for certain qualities of character, especially understanding, honesty and reliability (可靠).Above all else, I look for understanding in a friend. A good friend tries to understand how the other person is feeling. He is not quick to judge. Instead, he tries to learn from others. He puts himself in the other persons place, and he tries to think of ways to be helpful. He is also a good listener.At the same time, however, a good friend is honest. He does not look for faults (过错) in others. He notices their good points. In short, good friends will be honest to each other and accept each other.Another quality of a friend is reliability. I can always depend on a good friend. If he tells me he will meet me somewhere at a certain time, I can be sure that he will be there. If I need a favor, he will do his best to help me. If I am in trouble, he will not run away from me.There is a fourth quality that makes a friend special. A special friend is someone with whom we can have fun. We should enjoy our lives, and we would enjoy our friendship. That is why I especially like friends who are fun to be with. A good friend likes the same things I like. We share experiences and learn from each other. A good friend has a good sense of humor, too. He likes to laugh with me. That is how we share the joy of being friends. And I know that he is looking for the same quality in me.When I meet someone who is understanding, honest and reliable, I know Ive found a friend!14.Which of the following qualities does the writer think is the most important in choosing a friend? A. Honesty. B. Understanding. C. Reliability. D. A sense of humor. 15. If you have fair-weather friends ,_. A. you will become richB. you can be sure that you get real friends C.you will be refused when you get into troubleD. they will give you all that they have when you need help16. This passage mainly discusses_. A. the importance of having a friendB. where to choose friendsC. how to get along with friendsD. the qualities of a friendBToday we went out for Thanksgiving dinner with my husbands family. Its new tradition. I dont like it; Id prefer to cook but due to transportation problems thats just the best solution for now.And, same as last year, I think that if the waiters have to spend their holiday working, then Im going to tip them as much as possible to express my appreciation. I put the tip in a handmade thank-you card and I write them a short message.So thats what I did today. My husband gave the server the card and a few minutes later the server came over, and I saw his hands shake really badly. And he thanked us very much and said that holidays are traditionally “bad tip days”. He said that was because people went gift shopping right after and that we had just made a major difference in his whole day.It does bother me that some people spend the money going out to dinner, then go spend more money on gifts, and they dont have the few dollars it takes to give a proper tip? I didnt feel as if our tip (30% ) was excessive, just big enough to let him know that we really appreciate his work today (if youre not in the US, a 20% tip is recommended here these days). Anyway, it felt good connecting with him, talking with him, and knowing we had made his day.The only thing I forgot was a Mindy Peace Dove in the envelope. I had packed one on the way out the door but just forgot to add it to the card. Oh well, Im sure it will find the perfect home soon.17. Why did the author decide to go out for Thanksgiving dinner?A. Because the author didnt like to cook.B. Because there was no convenient transportation.C. Because the author didnt catch the last train.D. Because the authors husband wanted to treat his family well.18. Which of the following is closest in meaning to the underlined sentence in Paragraph 3?A. Offering tips in holidays is a tradition.B. Accepting tips is not allowed in holidays.C. The number of tips is largest in holidays.D. The number of tips in holidays is smaller than usual.19. If she paid 200 for the meal, the tip the author gave the server was _.A. $60 B. $40 C. $30 D. $2020. What is the best title for the text?A. Whether to Tip or Not.B. A Thanksgiving DinnerC. A Thanksgiving TraditionD. How to Spend ThanksgivingCIf you want to get something done, you might want to put your mobile phone back in your pocket. Researchers have found that the mere presence of a phone is distracting (分心) even if it is not your own. And the devices (设备) are likely to distract you, even if they are not ringing or “pinging” with text messages. People asked to carry out electronic tests of their attention spans were found to perform worse when a mobile phone was present than other people performing in the presence of a paper notepad.Scientists from Hokkaido University in Japan said that their findings show that it is harder to concentrate when one of the electronic devices is present. The effect was most marked on people who are not regular users of phones. In tests on 40 undergraduates, Associate Professor Junichiro Kawahara and a colleague divided the subjects into two groups one asked to carry out tests in the presence of an Apple iPhone next to a computer monitor, and the other in the presence of a notebook.The test involved asking the participant to search for a particular character among a mess of other characters on the screen. Researchers measured the time it took to find the target. The results of the experiment found that those with the mobile phone took longer to find the character, indicating that participants were automatically distracted by the presence of the phone. The researchers suggest that people are drawn to the presence of a mobile phone, although there are individual differences in how one attempts to ignore it. In conclusion, Professor Kawahara said,“The mere presence of a mobile phone was a distraction among infrequent internet users.”Another finding is that listening to one half of a mobile phone conversation also distracts people, and other studies have found that placing a mobile phone in view has a negative impact on the quality of face-to-face communications. Holding a mobile phone makes you less likely to get a fair hearing from others.21What is the first paragraph mainly about?A. A mobile phone wont distract people unless its ringing.B. People find it hard to concentrate if their phones are present.C. Text messages distract people even if phones are power off.D. A paper notepad can help people record much information.22Who will be affected most according to the findings?A. People irregularly using phones.B. People regularly using phones.C. People usually using notepads.D. People always using computers.23. In a face-to-face communication, what is the effect of putting a mobile phone in sight?A. It makes listeners feel much awkward.B. It causes other people to lose respect for you.C. It reduces peoples attention to what they are listening to.D. It makes the air of the conversation more pleasant.24What can we learn from the text?A. People perform worse with a mobile phone at hand.B. Mobile phones do a lot of damage to peoples health.C. People working with mobile phones will do very well.D. Phones should be banned in all schools and universities.DUntil the age of27Ilookeduponrunnersas peoplewastingtheirtimeonaboringandexhausting activity.Ithoughtitwasespeciallyunpleasanttogo runninginbadweather. Then as time went by, I gradually realised the fact that I was no spring chicken. There was no way I could continue going through my increasing age without any regular exercise. So one day without even thinking much about it I went outside and just ran. To my surprise, it was exciting and extremely satisfying. Not since my youth when summer holidays were spent playing football daily until dusk had I been inspired to exercise. But this new experience started something within me. From then on I was running a four-mile route at least three days a week. Before long I was competing in 10k races and then a half marathon(马拉松). It was only when I began taking part in competitive races that I truly began to appreciate running. The journey that starts with training and ends with that final push through the finish line gives me a strong feeling of excitement. There is nothing like the feeling that erupts(迸发) inside you when you finish a difficult and tiring race. Its the result of months of hard work that finally pays off. Along with the obvious health benefits, there are other reasons to take up running. One of them is that it can be a good social activity. Why not pair with a friend, sign up for the same run and do your training together? Having someone by your side and agreeing on a routine(惯例,常规) can make you more active. If youre new to running, I suggest that you take it very slowly and gradually build up a routine. There is no rush to jump in head-first and convince yourself that you can become Mo Farah overnight. So take plenty of time and effort to train with a partner and find out what all the excitement is about.25. What does the underlined sentence in the second paragraph imply?A. The author was no longer young.B. The author wanted to go on a diet.C. The author was still not good at exercise.D. The author decided to learn more about running.26. How did the author feel when he went outside and just ran for the first time?A. Bored and exhausted.B. Determined and active.C. Confident and hopeful.D. Excited and happy.27. In the fifth paragraph, the author mainly advises us to _.A. take up running so as to keep healthyB. get into a running routine with a partnerC. take part in social activities more activelyD. get to know the health benefits of running28. The author mentions Mo Farah in the last paragraph in order to prove that_.A. it takes time and effort to take up runningB. you should look for a good partnerC. special knowledge is of great helpD. confidence is powerful E It was the sports professionals (专业人员) among bikers, such as mountain bikers, that first used helmets (头盔) when they rode. The UCIUnion Cyclist Internationale, the ruling body of cycling, never required mandatory (强制的) helmet use and they left it up to people to make that choice. However, as one took the lead, others followed. Finally, the sporting world did make it mandatory and this led to a review of the general laws around the world.Studies show there is a serious connection between cycling accidents (事故) and the risk of hurting heads. It has long been known that a motorcyclist can be killed or have his brain seriously hurt because of a road traffic accident. In the past most people thought that because cyclists were slower on the road there was less risk of being hurt. However, this has been proven to be incorrect, so it is mandatory now in many countries for cyclists to wear a helmet.Australia was the first country to make wearing cycle helmets mandatory. In some European countries, cycle helmets have only become mandatory in the last few years. In Malta, cycle helmets became mandatory for all cyclists in April 2004. In Sweden, cycle helmets became mandatory for children up to 15 years of age in January 2005. In Spain, cyclists have to wear a helmet outside urban (城镇的) areas except when going uphill. However, in some countries, there are no laws whatsoever. The United Kingdom, for example, has refused to make any law to make cycle helmets mandatory for fear that a helmet law might discourage people from taking up cycling.Most cycle helmets are very light. They are not nearly as heavy as a motorcycle helmet. 1975 saw the very first successful cycle helmet design. At the time there were no international standards, but ten years later, in 1985, the Snell B85 was introduced and became the widely accepted standard for cycle helmets.29. What can we learn about the early history of the cycle helmet?A. The sporting world thought it a must.B. Few people knew about its importance.C. Mountain bikers refused to use it at first.D. The UCI made it mandatory for all cyclists.30. What does the underlined word “this” in Paragraph 2 refer to?A. Cycling is a safe sport.B. It is safe to wear a cycle helmet.C. The risk of cyclists being hurt is low.D. Cyclists are more careful than motorcyclists.31. What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?A. The changes of cycle helmet laws.B. The reasons for cycle helmet laws.C. The practice of cycle helmet laws.D. The influence of cycle helmet laws.32. What is the UKs attitude to passing a cycle helmet law?A. The country supports it.B. The country is against it.C. The country is uncertain of it,D. The country pays little attention to it.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。How to Make FriendsFriendship is a very important human relationship and everyone needs good friends.
