been really reading books all that evening.cpeople seem to have a natural need for friends and with good reason. friends increase your enjoyment of life and relieve feelings of loneliness. they even can help reduce stress and improve your health. having good friends is especially helpful when you are going through any kind of hard time such as when you are experiencing anxiety, panic attacks, or depression. when you are with good friends you feel good about yourself, and you are glad to be with them. a friend is someone who you like, respect, and trust, and who likes, respects and trusts you.doesnt always understand you, but accepts and likes you as you are, even as you grow and change.allows you the space to change, grow, make decisions, and even make mistakes.listens to you and shares with you both the good times and the bad times.respects your need for secrets, so you can tell them anything.lets you freely express your feelings and emotions without judging, teasing (取笑), or criticizing（批评）you.accepts the limitations（限制）you have put on yourself and helps you to remove them. a person once said, “friendship is a continuing source of bonding, releasing, and creating in yourself and with the other person. there is an emotional bond between the two people.” a good friend or supporter may or may not be the same age or the same sex as you, and may not have the same educational, cultural, or religious background, or share interests that are similar to yours. friendships also have different depths. some are closer to the heart and some more superficial, but theyre all useful and good.28. which of the following is not a function of a friend? a. he brings you some happiness. b. he helps you feel less lonely. c. he helps you get over the difficulties. d. he helps you live a longer life.29. we can infer from the passage that _. a. friends only share the happy times with you b. friends respect each other but keep a distance between each other c. friends of the same background or interest can develop a better relationshipd. friends always allow you to make mistakes30. the underlined word “superficial” in the last paragraph means _. a. deep b. hard c. skin-deep d. close31. which is the best title for the passage?a. what kind of person a friend should be b. a friend in need is a friend indeedc. to be a good friend d. how to get on with your frienddfor thousands of years, we have looked for ways to measure time. early humans found that the regular movements of the sun, the earth the moon, and the stars made good ways to measure time. the rising and setting of the sun were used to distinguish (辨别) day from night.but, eventually, people needed to tell time more accurately, or exactly. so, by using the suns position in the sky, they divided the day into dawn, morning, midday and evening.then it was noted that the sun cast a changing shadow as it moved across the sky. time could be told more accurately by setting up a stick and marking the positions of the suns shadow. it was the ancient greeks who divided each position of this “sundial (日晷)” into hours.but the sun doesnt always shine. so, for the past 6,000 years, many other ways of keeping time have been tried. slow-burning candles were divided into hours, and the hourglass was invented. when all the sand in the top of an hourglass has shifted to the bottom, an hour has passed.later, the pendulum (摆钟), with its regular back-and-forth movement of weights, was used to move the hands on a clock. pendulums are still used in grandfather clocks.today, even more accurate clocks are in use, such as battery-operated quartz clocks (石英钟), digital clocks, and clocks run by electrical tuning forks and tiny atoms. these atomic clocks are the most accurate clocks ever invented. the exact time can be kept to within 1 second a century.32. humans in the old days used to tell day from night.a. the rising and setting of the sun b. battery-operated quartz clocksc. atomic clocks d. digital clocks33. a sundial works by .a. tracking the movement of the stars around the sunb. marking a shadow cast by the moving sunc. burning candles in the sunlightd. watching the stars34. which of the following was not used in the past to measure time?a. an hourglass.b. a sundial.c. digital clocks.d. a pendulum.35. which of the following ways of measuring time is ordered from the least accurate to the most accurate?a. sundial, pendulum, sun.b. atomic clock, quartz clock, sundial.c. sun, pendulum, atomic clock.d. digital clock, hourglass, slow-burning candles.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。everyone sleeps. therefore, taking the time to develop a sleephabitis very important and some sleep advice simply cant
