three different kinds of friends in our life. i classify(分类) them according to how well i know them and how well they know me.the first type of friend is just an acquaintance(熟人). this means that you only know their names. you might not even remember what they look like if you go away for a short vacation. you dont miss them when they are elsewhere. it is also this type of friend who gives you the most amount of aggravation(恼怒). since most of the time you are placed in a position where you have to act friendly, you would not normally tell an acquaintance when he or she is doing something that makes you feel angry, such as tapping the fingers on a table or shouting loudly. i call them “pest friends”.the second kind of friend is a “guest friend”. they are just social partners. you meet them at a certain location and at the end of the meeting you go your separate way and they go theirs. you dont talk too often with this sort of friend, and you dont share each others secrets. lastly, we have “best friends”. this sort of friend is there when you need them. they know you as a person and they are there through thick and thin. best friends are the ones that you can lean and depend on no matter what happens. if you need a listening ear, they will be the one to lend support.friends come in all different shapes and sizes. every friend has an impact on our life.51. what is this passage mainly about? a. what a true friend is like. b. three kinds of friends in our life. c. the role that friends play in our life. d. why there are different kinds of friends.52. according to the writer, when a friend of the first type acts in an annoying way, you _. a. can tell him/her about it directly b. should stay away from him/her c. may find it hard to tell him/her not to do so d. should advise him/her to correct his/her behavior53. which of the following statements is wrong about the second type of friend? a. they are called “pest friends” by the writer.b. they are only social partners. c. you dont talk very often with them. d. you dont share your secrets with them.54. if someone is with you through thick and thin, it means _. a. he/she supports you no matter what you do b. he/she agrees with whatever you say c. you spend most of your time together d. he/she is with you even when there are difficultiesbits well known that people in big cities live a busy life. many people feel they are caught up with tight schedules. but things can be different. with a few helpful tips, you can enjoy an easy life in a busy city.1. write a list of what you need to finish each day and clearly state the amount of time given to each task. follow the list and you will save time which might be wasted on choosing tasks. use the time saved to take a rest when you finish each item, by drinking a cup of coffee, looking through some magazines, or just taking a break from your desk or computer by standing up, stretching(伸展) your body and looking out of the windows.2. find your own working style and dont care too much about other peoples comments. if you need a quiet working environment but one of your colleagues just cant stop talking, then go out to a coffee shop, finish your work and then come back. the most important thing is to finish your tasks on time, which is important to you.3. mind your own business. avoid passing short messages, e-mails, or talking about a colleague behind his or her back. try to do your task at hand.4. learn to say “no.” its nice to help a colleague when he asks you for help, but it gets tiring after he asks you to help solve the same problem many times. so learn to say “no” the third time when you have helped him twice.5. turn down unnecessary appointments(约会). communication is important for work as well as life, yet you dont need to attend every event. learn to say “sorry, i have already had an appointment tonight,” or “sorry, im busy. would you mind next time?” keep some time for yourself, even just for daydreaming. 55. the aim to write the passage is to show us _. a. how to work to make you happy b. how to enjoy an easy life in a busy city c. that city people live a busy life d. that many city people are tired of a busy life56. what does the second paragraph tell us? a. how to work to make your boss happy. b. what we can do while were working. c. the good of planning what you will do. d. the good of working in an office.57. if someone in your office keeps talking, which troubles you a lot, you should _. a. report to the boss b. prevent him at once c. join in the talk d. find another place58. what can we learn from the passage? a. the author doesnt like sending e-mails in his life. b. communicating with others is unnecessary. c. be kind to others when theyre in trouble. d. not every appointment is necessary.ctwo thieves came to a house to steal something. they dug a hole in the wall of the house.there lived many mice in the house. the woman in the moonlight saw a mouse crawl(爬行) into the house. “look! in comes one,” she said to the man in the house. the thief was so frightened that he hurriedly crawled out of the house and said to the one waiting outside, “she found me when i was just in.” but the thief outside didnt believe him, so he said, “let us two try to crawl into the house together.” at that time two mice happened to crawl into the house, too. the woman saw the mice and shouted. the man in the house said, “you saw them come in but where are they? i will catch them tonight.” the two thieves started running away at once. the two thieves wanted to make it clear whether they had been found or not the night before. the next day they acted as men selling sweet potatoes and came before the house. the man and the woman were ploughing in their fields. the rein(缰绳) broke and the woman came home for a rope. she saw two men selling sweet potatoes and wanted to buy some. she picked out two which looked like mice. at the time the man couldnt wait for her any longer in the fields and he ran back from the fields to hurry her up. the woman showed the sweet potatoes to the man and said, “how they look like the two of last night!” the man said, “i asked you to fetch a rope; why dont hurry for it?” the two thieves ran away very quickly without their sweet potatoes.59. the two thieves failed to steal anything from the house because _ . a. they were found out b. they were frightened by what they had heard in the house c. they didnt work together well with each other d. mice stopped them from doing so60. from the last paragraph, we know that _. a. the two thieves were famous for selling sweet potatoes b. the woman recognized the two thieves c. the woman pretended to know nothing about the two thieves and made fun of them d. the two thieves didnt know that they were not found at all61. when the woman said, “how they look like the two of last night!”_ . a. she referred to the two thieves b. she meant nothing c. she said it on purpose d. she referred to the mice62. is the best title for this passage. a. two clever thieves b. terrible mice c. hit the mark by a fluke(偶然) d. a clever coupledwe keep reading that tv is bad for you. if this is true, how come the current generation of tv-addicted kids is much smarter than we are? in my home, the only people who can work the remote control are the children. perhaps tv does educate you. for example, you learn a useful medical fact: a person who has been shot always has time to speak an incomplete sentence before he dies. “the killer was” but i guess the biggest things we learn from tv can be regarded as “life skills”. bad things only happen on dark and stormy nights. emotional breakdowns cause people to wander in the heavy rain without umbrellas. and contrary to what scientists say, the crack of lightning and the accompanying flash happen at exactly the same time, wherever you are.ive even acquired useful geographical facts from science-fiction shows: aliens speak english no matter which planet they come from.making use of what we learn from tv can improve our security. consider these truths. if you are ever attacked by 20 bad guys, dont worry about being outnumbered. the criminals will hang back and take turns to approach (靠近) you in ones and twos just so you can conveniently defeat them all. bad guys who are completely covered in black clothes always remove their black masks to reveal that they are in fact, aha, women. tv also teaches us important information about escaping from danger. watch and learn. if anyone is running after you down a passage, you will find that boxes have been conveniently placed near all the walls you need to jump over. if you are tall and handsome, you can run from any number of armed criminals, and every shot will miss you.be warned, however. if your name card says “henchman” (帮凶) and you are part of a group of plain-looking people trying to catch a handsome individual, a single shot will kill you. but dont be anxious: tv also offers useful information for bad guys. all cars are inflammable (易燃的) and have amazing shock absorbers that enable them to fly into the air and land without damage except police cars. tv even teaches us about tv. whenever anyone turns on a tv, it shows a news flash about someone they know. they then turn the box off immediately after that news item.63. by saying “a person who has been shot always has time to speak an incomplete sentence before he dies” (paragraph 2), the writer shows his_.a. humor b. pity c. deep concern d. medical knowledge 64. we can infer from paragraph 3 that in the real world_.a. bad things cause
