Basically how you would like a true friend to be is what you should be like to your true friends. Trust, forgiveness, responsibility are some elements of a true friendship. True friendships are hard to achieve. And whats more, life is short. So treasure these friends if you already have them. If you dont continue to search, because once you have them, life will become so much easier to live, no matter what happens. I have been through very difficult times and I dare say, without my friends, I would not have made it. Friendships need lots of energy and patience to maintain them. Not to mention time. When your friend needs you, and when things are not going too well on your side, it is often so easy to turn a deaf ear to their requests. It is especially during these times, that you must find the strength to help your friend. And it is during these times that your friendship will be made stronger.高.考.资.源.网:W。w。w.Ks5u.co。m And you must always be happy for their successes, even when things are not going too well for you. It might be hard to do this, but it is something that you need to learn. Think about all the sacrifices your friend has made for you and all the times when he was happy for you despite his own troubles. Think abut all the happy times you enjoyed and the sad, difficult times you went through together. That should give you plenty of patience to actually be a true friend. Remember, true friends are the next best thing to family. They will always be your supporters.36.What is the best title for this passage?A. A precious friendship B. A true friend C. A happy time D. Friend, a treasure37. According to the passage, to be a true friend, you do NOT need to _. A. trust your friends B. forgive your friends mistakes C. spend much money on friends D. be helpful to your friends38. True friendships are hard to achieve because _. A. friendships can help you through difficult times B. friendships need lots of energy and patience C. your friends need you to give more help to them D. you should be always on your friends side39. The underlined phrase “turn a deaf ear to” in Paragraph 2 probably means “_”. A. pretend not to know B. take no measures to C. have no means to D. turn to a deaf for40. From Paragraph3 we can conclude that _ . A. a friend wont achieve success without your support B. most people in trouble are not happy about their friends success C. you should support your friends on any conditions D. a true friend appears only when you have troublesBThe common cold is the worlds most widespread illness, which is plagues(疫病) that flesh receives.高.考.资.源.网 The most widespread fallacy (谬误) of all is that colds are caused by cold. They are not. They are caused by viruses passing on from person to person. You catch a cold by coming into contact, directly or indirectly, with someone who already has one. If cold causes colds, it would be reasonable to expect the Eskimos to suffer from them forever. But they do not. And in isolated arctic regions explorers have reported being free from colds until coming into contact again with infected people from the outside world by way of packages and mail dropped from airplanes. During the First World War soldiers who spent long periods in the trenches (战壕), cold and wet, showed no increased tendency to catch colds. In the Second World War prisoners at the notorious Auschwitz concentration camp(奥斯维辛集中营), naked and starving, were astonished to find that they seldom had colds. At the Common Cold Research Unit in England, volunteers took part in Experiments in which they gave themselves to the discomforts of being cold and wet for long stretches of time. After taking hot baths, they put on bathing suits, allowed themselves to be with cold water, and then stood about dripping wet in drafty room. Some wore wet socks all day while others exercised in the rain until close to exhaustion. Not one of the volunteers came down with a cold unless a cold virus was actually dropped in his nose. If, then, cold and wet have nothing to do with catching colds, why are they more frequent in the winter? Despite the most painstaking research, no one has yet found the answer. One explanation offered by scientists is that people tend to stay together indoors more on cold weather than at other times, and this makes it easier for cold viruses to be passed on. No one has yet found a cure for the cold. There are drugs and pain suppressors (止痛片) such as aspirin, but all they do is to relieve the symptoms.41.The writer offered _ examples to support his argument.A. 4 B. 5 C. 6 D. 3 42. Which of the following does not agree with the chosen passage? A. The Eskimos do not suffer from colds all the time. B. Colds are not caused by cold. C.

Like most teachers, she looked at her students and said that she loved them all the same. But that was impossible, because there in the front row, slumped in his seat, was a little boy named Teddy Stoddard. Mrs Thompson noticed that he didnt play well with the other children, that his clothes were messy and that he constantly needed a bath. And Teddy could be unpleasant. It got to the point where Mrs Thompson would actually take delight in marking his papers with a broad red pen, making bold Xs and then putting a big “F” at the top of his papers. However, when she reviewed his file, she got a surprise. Teddys first grade teacher wrote, “Teddy is a bright child with a ready laugh. He does his work neatly and has good manners, he is a joy to be around .”His second grade teacher wrote, “Teddy is an excellent student, well liked by his classmates, but he is troubled because his mother has a terminal illness and life at home must be a struggle.” His third grade teacher wrote, “ His mothers death has been hard on him. He tries to do his best but his father doesnt show much interest and his home life will soon affect him if some steps arent taken.” Teddys fourth grade teacher wrote, “Teddy is withdrawn and doesnt show much interest in school. He doesnt have many friends and sometimes sleeps in class.” Now, Mrs Thompson was ashamed of herself and felt worse when her students brought her beautifully wrapped Christmas presents. Teddys present, however, was clumsily wrapped in rough brown grocery paper. Taking her time she opened it to reveal Teddys gifts, a shinestone bracelet with stones missing and a quarter full perfume bottle. How the children laughed! “ What a pretty bracelet! Mm, lovely perfume! Perfect on my wrist.” The children were silent. Alone together, after school, Teddy told Mrs Thompson, “ Today you smelled just like my Mom used to ” His teacher cried all night and，from that day, she stopped teaching reading, writing ,and arithmetic and began to teach children instead.46.What is the best title of this text?A.

But back then he was the object of jokes in school gym classes in Englands rural Devonshire. It was a mountain bike he received for his 15th birthday that changed him. At first he went biking alone in a nearby forest. Then he began to cycle along with a runner friend. Gradually, Saunders set his mind on building up his body, increasing his speed, strength and endurance. At age 18, he ran his first marathon. The following year, he met John Ridgway, who became famous in the 1960s for rowing an open boat across the Atlantic Ocean. Saunders was hired as an instructor at Ridgways School of Adventure in Scotland, where he learned about the older mans cold-water exploits ( 成就). Intrigued, Saunders read all he could about Arctic Explorers and North Pole expeditions, then decided that this would be his future. Journeys to the Pole arent the usual holidays for British country boys, and many people dismissed his dream as fantasy. “John Ridgway was one of the few who didnt say, Youre completely crazy,” Saunders says. In 2001,after becoming a skilled skier, Saunders started his first long-distance expedition toward the North Pole. He suffered frostbite, had a close encounter（遭遇）with a polar bear. Saunders has since become the youngest person to ski alone to the North Pole, and hes skied more of the Arctic by himself than any other Briton. His old playmates would not believe the transformation. This October, Saunders, 27, heads south to explore from the coast of Antarctica to the South Pole and back, an 1,800-mile journey that has never been complete on skis.51.The turning point in Saunders life came when _.A. he started to play ball gameB. he got a mountain bike at age 15C. he ran his first marathon at age 18D. he started to receive Ridgways training52.We can learn from the text that Ridgway_ .高.考.资.源.网:W。w。w.Ks5u.co。mA. dismissed Saunders dream as fantasyB. built up his body together with SaundersC. hired Saunders for his cold-water experienceD. won his fame for his voyage across the Atlantic53.What do we know about Saunders?A.
