the differences between friendship and love? is platonic(理想的) friendship possible between persons of opposite sex? let us try and understand.what is friendship? why do we call a person our friend? when do we call someone a very good friend? if we care for a person, if we are always ready to help that person and if we share most of our thoughts with a person, they are our good friends. we can always count upon our good friends in an emergency. we are always sure that our friend will understand why we acted in a certain way. we need not explain anything to our very good friends. the friendship is so deep and the relationship is so close, that most of the things are automatically understood by our friends.what about love? in a relationship of deep love, all the sharing that we discussed above are taken for granted. but love transcends(胜过，超越) all these. during love, we are attached with a particular person, while in friendship, one may have many friends. a loving relationship makes one so much attached to the other, that one gets pained if his/her beloved is hurt! love also involves a physical element. friendship does not have that. this is a vital difference. nature gives us love so that the species can go forward. nature does not give us friendship.your heart beats will never increase in expectation of meeting your friend. you will not lie awake at night thinking about your friend. you will not feel totally lost, if you dont meet your friend for a few days. you will not have dreams in your eyes thinking about your friend. but in love, you will do all these and much more. indeed, there is no comparison between love and friendship.21whats the function of the first passage?ato come up with the question for the further discussion.bto explain the main idea of the following passage.cto tell us the whole meaning of the passage.dto advise us to make friends in different way.22how do you do to make real friends?ayou should give others your everything.byou should share, help and understand each other.cyou should have the same interests in everything.dfriend in need is a friend indeed.23if you are friends, youll _.adream of him at night.

friendship.btell us relationship between friends and relatives.ctell us the difference between love and friendship.dtell us how to get friendship and love. b in early autumn i applied for admission to college. i wanted to go nowhere but to cornell university, but my mother fought strongly against it. when she saw me studying a photograph of my father on the sports ground of cornell, she tore it up.“you cant say its not a great university, just because papa went there.”“thats not it at all. and it is a top university.” she was still holding the pieces in her hand. “but we cant afford to send you to college.”“i wouldnt dream of asking you for money. do you want me to get a job to help support you and papa? things arent that bad ,are they?”“no,” she said. “i dont expect you to help support us.”father borrowed money form his rich cousins to start a small jewelry shop, his chief customers were his old college friends. to get new customers, my mother had to help. she picked up a long-forgotten membership in the local league of women, so that she could get to know more people. whether those people would turn into customers was another question. i knew that my parents had to wait for quite a long time before their small investment (投资) could show returns. whats more ,they had not wanted enough to be rich and successful ；otherwise they could not possibly have managed their lives so badly.i was torn between the desire to help them and change, their lives ,and the determination not to repeat their mistakes. i had a strong belief in my power to go what i wanted. after months of hard study i won a full college scholarship（奖学金）.my father could hardly contain his pride in me, and my mother eventually gave in before my success.25the author was not allowed to go to cornell university mainly because _a .his father graduated from the universityb. his mother did not thinks it a great universityc. his parents needed him to help support the familyd. his parents did not have enough money for him26the father started his small shop with the money from _.a .a local league b. his universityc. his relatives d .his college friends27according to the text, what was the author determined to do in that autumn? a. to get a well-paid job for himselfb. to improve relations with his motherc. to go to his dream universityd. to carry on with his fathers businesscplanning a visit to the uk? here we help with ways to cut your costs. avoid big events big sporting events, concerts and exhibitions can increase the cost of accommodation and make it harder to find a room. a standard double room at the thistle brighton on the final friday of the brighton comedy festival (19 oct.) cost 169.15 at b. a week later, the same room cost 118.15. if you can be flexible and want to know dates to avoidor youre looking for a big event to pass your timecheck out sites such as w, which allow you to search for events in the uk by city, date and category. stayaway from the station if traveling to your destination by train, you may want to find a good base close to the station, but you could end up paying more for the sake of convenience at the start of your holiday. dont be too choosy about the part of town you stay in. booking two months in advance, the cheapest room at travelodges central euston hotel in london for saturday 22 september was 95.95. a room just a tube journey away at its covent garden hotel was 75.75. and at farringdon, a double room cost just 62.95. look after yourself really central hotels in cities such as london, edinburgh and cardiff can cost a fortune, especially at weekends and during big events. as an alternative consider checking into a self-catering flat with its own kitchen. often these flats are hidden away on the top floors of city centre buildings. a great example is the historic oneill flat on edinburghs royal mile, available for 420 for five days in late september, with room for four adults. get on a bike londons boris bikes have attracted the most attention, but other cities also have similar programmes that let you rent a bicycle and explore at your own pace, saving you on public transport or car parking costs. among the smaller cities with their own programmes are newcastle (casual members pay around 1.50 for two hours) and cardiff (free for up to 30 minutes, or 5 per day).28the brighton comedy festival is mentioned mainly to show big events may _.a. help travelers pass time b. attract lots of travelers to the ukc. allow travelers to make flexible plans d. cause travelers to pay more for accommodation29“farringdon” in paragraph 5 is most probably _.a. a hotel away from the train station b. the tube line to covent gardenc. an ideal holiday destination d. the name of a travel agency30the passage shows that the oneill flat _.a. lies on the ground floor b. is located in central londonc. provides cooking facilities for tourists d. costs over 100 on average per day in late september31the main purpose of the passage is _.a. to tell visitors how to book in advanceb. to supply visitors with hotel informationc. to show visitors the importance of self-helpd. to offer visitors some money-saving tips d many people think that listening is a passive business. it is just the opposite. listening well is an active exercise of our attention and hard work. it is because they do not realize this, or because they are not willing to do the work, that most people do not listen well. listening well also requires total concentration upon someone else. an essential part of listening well is the rule known as bracketing. bracketing includes the temporary giving up or setting aside of your own prejudices and desires, to experience as far as possible someone elses world from the inside, stepping into his or her shoes. moreover, since listening well involves bracketing, it also involves a temporary acceptance of the other person. sensing this acceptance, the speaker will seem quite willing to open up the inner part of his or her mind to the listener. true communication is under way and the energy required for listening well is so great that it can be accomplished only by the will to extend oneself for mutual growth. most of the time we lack this energy. even though we may feel in our business dealings or social relationships that we are listening well, what we are usually doing is listening selectively. often we have a prepared list in mind and wonder, as we listen, how we can achieve certain desired results to get the conversation over as quickly as possible or redirected in ways more satisfactory to us. many of us are far more interested in talking than in listening, or we simply refuse to listen to what we dont want to hear. it wasnt until toward the end of my doctor career that i have found the knowledge that one is being truly listened to is frequently therapeutic(有疗效的) in about a quarter of the patients i saw, surprising improvement was shown during the first few months of psychotherapy(心理疗法), before any of the roots of problems had been uncovered or explained. there are several reasons for this phenomenon, but chief among them, i believe, was the patients sense that he or she was being truly listened to, often for the first time in years, and for some, perhaps for the first time ever.32the phrase “stepping into his or her shoes” in paragraph 2 probably means _.a. preparing a topic list first b. focusing on ones own mindc. directing the talk to the desired results d. experiencing the speakers inside world33what is mainly discussed in paragraph 2 ?a. how to listen well. b. what to listen to.c. benefits of listening. d. problems in listening34according to the author , in communication people tend to _.a. listen actively b. listen purposefully c. set aside their prejudicesd. open up their inner mind35according to the author , the patients improved mainly because _.a. they were taken good care of. b. they knew they were truly listened to.c. they had partners to talk to. d. they knew the roots of problems.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。选项中有两项为多余选项。the jobs of the future have not yet been
