a. to meet his girlfriend.b. to spend his holiday.c. to work as an engineer.d. to visit the andersons.22what did duret do shortly after the ambulance came?a. he was interviewed by a newspaper.b. he went to the hospital in the ambulance.c. he disappeared from the spot quickly.d. he asked his girlfriend for his dry clothes.23which of the following is true according to the passage?a. duret thought twice before he jumped into the cold water.b. duret dived into the water before the girls father.c. the rescue happened on the day duret left for france.d. duret didnt think he was brave enough to be a hero.24what is probably the headline of this news report?a. a careless fatherb. a poor girl c. warm-hearted onlookersd. brave frenchman foundbwhen it comes to relationship, we spend a lot of time discussing their joys, but rarely talk about the pain when they break down. yet most people have a story about a broken relationship.for jane black, a six-year friendship ended when her friend was rude to one of her children. “after quite a few drinks at a party in my house, she said something rude to my child. i ended the friendship face to face at the party,” she says. “i didnt realize what i was doing at the time, i was simply standing up for my child, but in her eyes any challenge was a betrayal.” when angela thompson noticed a seven-year friendship disappearing, she let it go. “i didnt know how to deal with the issue. i didnt sit down for a grown-up conversation; i just walked away quietly.” the decision caused a reaction among thompsons other friends. “the other friends in the circle are the worst people when you are trying to break up with a friend,” she says. “they dont want you to stop being friends, because it puts them in a difficult position. you get told to just get it over.”though we have plenty of measures for handling conflict at work or family fight, we still dont have good ways of ending friendships. do we sit down and properly break up, or just walk away? psychologist serena cauchy has the following advice.dont blame. talk about your needs and feeling rather than talking like a dutch uncle.do talk about your needs. talk about why the friendship is not working for you about how your needs arent being met.dont gossip. negative talk hurts everyone involved and in some cases can make matters worse.dont be so accessible. if there is a common wish to conclude the friendship then you can remove it.25how did angela thompson deal with her friendship when it went wrong?a. she ended it face to face.b. she left it as it was. c. she turned to her friends for advice. d. she made a direct challenge. 26according to the third paragraph, we learn the other friends_.a. will help you to fix a broken friendshipb. will choose either of the sides who broke upc. will ask you to forgive each otherd. will be the worst people to break up with you at the same time27which is not mentioned by psychologist serena cauchy?a. end the friendship if it cant be renewed.b. dont complain behind ones back.c. express what you want and expect.d. sincerely talk about friends shortcomings.28what would be the best title for the passage?a. a true friendship b. when friendships disappearc. how friendships last d. ways to fix friendshipscyoure rushing to work and a man ahead of you falls down on the sidewalk. do you stop to help? in a study of by-standers, it was found that some people keep on walking.there is a tendency to decide that no action is needed, says a psychologist, in order to take action, you have to work against them. here are some common thoughts that stop you from helping.why should i be the one? im probably not the most able person in this crowd. you might think someone older or with more medical knowledge should offer assistance.what if he doesnt really need my help? the fear of embarrassment is powerful; no one wants to risk looking foolish in front of others.no one else looks concerned. we can follow the people around us, but most people tend to hold back their emotions in public.if you spot trouble and find yourself explaining inaction, force yourself to stop and figure out the situation instead of walking on, says the psychologist. then retry to involve other people; you dont have to take on the entire responsibility of being helpful. sometimes its just a matter of turning to the person next to you and saying, it looks like we should do something. or asking someone if an ambulance has been called and, if not, to call for one. once you take action, most people will follow you.29. which is not the common thought that stops you from helping others?a. im not the very capable person. b. it looks like we should do something.c. no one else is concerned. d. he doesnt really need my help.30in order to offer your timely help, you need to .a. go directly to the police stationb. get along well with the passers-by who spot the troublec. ask others for help and call the policed. work against the first thoughts that stop you from offering help31. the main purpose of the passage is to tell readers .a. to give others a hand b. to be more ablec. to explain their inaction d. to evaluate the situationdalthough the u.s. is so big and its people have so many different ethnic (racial) backgrounds, it is in some ways less varied than europe. the english language is used almost everywhere in its american form. the american way of speaking has developed independently of england and is on the whole closer to what can be heard in ireland.american instance of uniformity（一致性） is in habits and ways of living. from boston to los angeles it is as far as from france to central asia, and from east to west there are five time zones; but everywhere people get up and go to bed at about the same time, eat the same kind of food, buy in the same kind of shops, work and rest at the same times of the day and have the same pattern of holidays. in most of the things that matter there is less difference between rich people and ordinary people, or between town and country, than in any single european nation.although the united states covers so much land and the land produces far more food than the present population needs, its people are by now almost entirely an urban society. less than a tenth of the people are engaged in agriculture, and most of the rest live in or around towns, large and small. here the traditional picture is changing; most americans do not live in small towns any more. half the population now live in some thirty metropolitan（大城市的） areas.the fact that the united states has always been a single economic unit has contributed to uniformity. modern industry favors large organizations, and it is no accident that the worlds biggest commercial firms are american. the people can choose between the products of competing manufacturers, but the products are all much alike. 32. in describing the uniformity in the u.s. the author does not mention thata. the american people get up and go to work at the same time.b. the american people spend their holidays in the same pattern.c. the american people buy and eat the same kind of food.d. the american people have more or less the same income.33. what can we learn from the passage about the u.s. agriculture?a. the american farmers need more land than before.b. more and more americans are interested in farming.c. it is quite modernized.d. it is now going backward.34. what is the feature of the u.s. modern industry according to the last paragraph?a. the production scale and the organizational scale are very big.b. it is a single economic unit that manufactures the same kind of products.c. there are more and more competing manufacturers.d. there are always a variety of products to choose from.35. what does “most of the things” in the second paragraph refer to? a. food, clothing and houses.b. cars, computers and tv sets.c. their wealth and income.d. land, housing and bank savings.第二节 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填人空白处的最佳选项。其中有两项为多余选项。 （提示：在答题卡上填涂方式：e涂 e， f涂 f， g涂g）（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分） just be yourselfmany of us live our lives but only a few of us have found our true inner self. why?
