hes really walked it.36. zach walks in order to _. a. visit washington, d.c. b. help homeless children c. learn about the difficulty of walking d. attract attention 37. what does zach mainly do as he walks? a. he experiences the lives of homeless children. b. he inspires homeless children to get through their difficulties. c. he makes letters about homeless children public. d. he collects letters about homeless children. 38. what gave zach the idea to help others? a. a television show. b. a movie star. c. some homeless people. d. an unusual walk. 39. from michael guillen we can learn that_. a. zach matches his words with his deeds b. zach has great potential as an actor c. zach has received many donations from actors d. zach will be starring in a hollywood movie b dealing with a broken friendship can be one of the most heartbreaking situations you go through in life, especially if youve been friends with the person for a long time. there are a lot of things that can lead to division between friends, but i think in general real break-ups occur when friends take very different paths in life, and find it harder and harder to relate. then, even if they dont have a sudden split due to a major argument, theyll still find themselves drifting apart (逐渐疏远). obviously time plays a big part here. if an argument has taken place, but there is at least the potential for the friendship to be re-established, both people will need some time to sort out the situation. after a while, they may be able to start talking again. the hardest part may be the friendship not being the same as before or not being as close, but this depends on the situations of the division. people also have a hard time seeing changes in their friends. this is especially serious if your friend has changed for the worse, and you risk getting pulled in the same direction by trying to fix the friendship. in such a situation, its often best to ask someone you trust outside the broken friendship someone who can be objective (客观的) about it to keep yourself on track if you do decide to try to help your friend.40. generally speaking, two friends break up when _. a. there isnt enough communication between them b. they have a major argument c. they have different life goals d. theyre separate for a long time41. whats the most difficult problem when two friends are reunited? a. they may not be able to start talking again. b. their relationship might not be as close as before. c. they may start quarrelling again. d. they no longer have time and patience. 42. whats the best thing to do to remain friends following a break-up, especially if one has changed?a. stay on the same track as before.b. pull the changed friend in the same direction.c. make yourself objective. d. turn to someone reliable and objective.43. what might be the best title for the passage? a. what to do when time pulls us apartb. what does true friendship mean?c. how to deal with a broken friendshipd. how to treat a changed friend cthe light-brown argentine(阿根廷)ant is originally from south america, but has spread its huge super-colonies all over the world. over the years, this ant has moved around the globe by hiding, scientists think, in luggage and goods. this hasnt always been a good thing, since the insect can destroy local plants, affecting what the local animals have to eat. the ants are fierce fighters. they protect their territory from invaders, including other kinds of ants and insects. but even though they may come from different continents, these ants are not hostile (敌对的)towards each other when they come together, scientists say. there are three known super-colonies of argentine ants. in europe, one super-colony is located along the mediterranean sea, and is believed to be 3,700 miles long. another is located in california, and covers about 560 miles, while the third is on the west coast of japan. scientists have discovered that the insects in the three super-colonies are made up of similar chemicals, and these help them recognize one another. to prove this, the scientists matched each super-colony with ants from a different colony in a similar part of the world. the mediterranean ant colony didnt get along with a smaller one from spain, and the ants from the west coast of japan didnt get along with those from another part of japan. but when the ants from the three super-colonies came together, they acted like old friends, greeting each other by rubbing antennae (触角) to say hello. the scientists think that the argentine ant super-colonies are one big family; the fact that they have the similar chemicals shows they are genetically related.44. how does the argentine ant spread?a. it moves by itself.b. it gets to other places along with moving objects. c. it is taken to other places by scientists.d. it is moved by other insects. 45. argentine ants from the three super-colonies can recognize one another through their _.a. fighting postures b. chemical make-ups c. antennae d. smells46. a special characteristic of argentine ants is that they _.a. live on separate continentsb. are friendly to other types of antsc. greet each other by rubbing antennaed. get along well with each other 47. from the passage we learn that argentine ants _.a. are destructive to some plantsb. are hostile to smaller ants c. live in three colonies altogether d. have the same shape dconcert night of christian ehwald on friday, german conductor christian ehwald and the shenzhen symphony orchestra will perform pieces by mozart and mendelssohn. the content will include mozarts overture(序曲) to don giovanni, and mendelssohns violin concertoin eminor. violinist zhang le will perform. time:8 p.m., july 10 tickets:50-200 yuan venue:shenzhen grand theater, 5018 shennan road east, luohu district buses:7, 10, 23, 24, 30, 33, 62, 63, 302, 311, 352, 353, 377, 378 subway:da juyuan station, exit b free sunday concert the hong kong childrens symphony orchestra will hold a free concert on sunday afternoon. the program will include glinkas overture to russian and ludmilla, suppes overture to the poet and the peasant, and the chinese violin concerto (协奏曲) butterfly lovers. time: 3 p.m., july 12 venue: shenzhen concert hall subway: shaonian gong station, exit c or d feng jitings violin concert feng jiting, the first shenzhen violin student to enter an international competition, will hold a concert lasting 2 hours at the shenzhen concert hall this sunday night. this will be a warm-up for his tour to moscow in september. sundays program will include paganinis caprices, works by bach and mozart and sarasatis gypsy airs. time: 8 p.m., july 12 tickets: 20 yuanvenue: theater studio, shenzhen concert hall subway: shaonian gong station, exit c or d 48. which of the following music can be heard for free? a. don giovanni. b. butterfly lovers. c. gypsy airs. d. violin concertoin eminor.49. if you arrive at shenzhen at 9:00 p.m. on july 12, you can most probably enjoy _. a. don giovanni b. russian and ludmillac. the poet and the peasant d. gypsy airs50. the main purpose of this passage is to _. a. attract more tourists to shenzhenb. cultivate peoples interest in concertsc. advertise a number of musical events d. guide people around shenzhen e the oldest stone buildings in the world are the pyramids. 51 . there are over eighty of them scattered along the banks of the nile, some of which are different in shape from the true pyramids. the most famous of these are the “step” pyramid and “ bent ”pyramid. some of the pyramids still look much the same as they must have done when they were built thousands of years ago. most of the damage suffered by the others has been at the hands of men who were looking for treasure or, more often, for stone to use in modern buildings. 52 . these are good reasons why they can still be seen today, but perhaps the most important thing is that they were planned to last forever. 53 . however, there are no writings or pictures to show us how the egyptians planned or built the pyramids themselves. 54 nevertheless, by examining the actual pyramids and various tools which have been found, archaeologists have formed a fairly clear picture of them. one thing is certain: there must have been months of careful planning before they could begin to build. 55 . you may think this would have been easy with miles and miles of empty desert around, but a pyramid could not be built just anywhere. certain rules had to be followed, and certain problems had to be overcome. a. the dry climate of egypt has helped to preserve the pyramids, and their very shape have made them less likely to fall into ruin. b. it is practically certain that plans were made for the building of the pyramids because the plans of other large works have fortunately been preserved. c. the first thing they had to do was to choose a suitable place. d. consequently, we are only able to guess at the methods used. e. many people were killed while building the pyramids. f. they have stood for nearly 5,000 years, and it seems likely that they will continue to stand for thousands of years yet. g. it takes workers twenty years to build the pyramids. 第ii卷 主观卷（两部分，共25分）第一节：短文改错（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分）文中共有十处语言错误，请指出并改正。只允许改十处，多者（从第十一处起）不计分。 one day, toms mother gave him some money to buy a bag of salt, but on his way to home, the bag broke. the sa
