For more than 30 years，they had been getting along very well. Then their good relationship broke. It began with a small thing，then bitter words, and then weeks of silence. One morning Farmer John woke up to find a stream between the two farms. “It must be Bob，” John thought. Then one day there was a knock on Johns door. He opened it to find a carpenter(木匠) standing at the doorway. “Im looking for a few days work，” the carpenter said. “I do have a job for you，” John said. “Look across the stream at that farm. Thats my neighbor Bob. He dug a stream between the two farms. I want you to build a fencean 8-foot fence. I dont want to see his place or his face any more. I dont have such a neighbor！” The carpenter said， “I think I know what to do， sir， and Ill be able to do a job that pleases you.” Farmer John helped the carpenter get the materials ready and then he was off for the day.About sunset when the farmer returned, the carpenter had just finished his job. The farmers eyes opened wide. There was no fence there at all！ It was a bridge！And the neighbor，Bob，was coming across， with his hand outstretched(伸出). “Hi， John！ Youre quite a fellow to build this bridge！” Then they met in the middle，taking each others hands. “Im terribly sorry for what I have said and done. We should be good to each other，” said Farmer Bob. Then they turned to see the carpenter，who was ready to go. “No，wait！Stay a few days. I have a lot of other jobs for you，” said Farmer John. “Id love to stay，” the carpenter said，“but I have more bridges to build.”46Just before the carpenter came， John and Bob each other.Adidnt speak to Bwere friendly toCoften fought with Dnever had bitter words with47Farmer John asked the carpenter to build a fence because.Ahe wanted to protect his farm Bhe didnt want to do it himself Che wouldnt like to see Bob Dhe wanted to find him something to do48What does the sentence “Youre quite a fellow to build this bridge！” mean？AJohn was great to build this bridge. BJohn was not good at building bridges.CJohn was foolish to build such a bridge. DJohn should build the bridge earlier.49What do you think of the carpenter？AShy. BWise. CProud . DCareless.50What is the best title for the passage？AWhat a Big Fence！ BFarmer and Bridge CThree Kind Men DA Fence or a Bridge？BMany people tend to complain about not having good friends in their lives. Sadly，they seem to think that their own company is not enough to make them happy. Nothing could be further from the truth though. In order to get along with others，the first thing you need to do is learn to get along with yourself. Only in this way will you succeed in developing healthy，solid relationships with others. Listen to your inner voice. Remember that inner voice that keeps whispering to you what you really want and need as well as what you do not really want and need. It is about time you started listening to it. In order to get to know yourself in depth，it is important to learn and accept what you want and what you do not want. Learn to enjoy your own company. You will be surprised to find out how many things you can do by yourself and actually have fun in the process. Reading romantic novels，poetry or science fiction is only a few of the things that you can do by yourself，which not only can offer you hours of enjoyment, but also the chance to get to know yourself better. Satisfy yourself. Pay special attention to your personal hygiene(卫生). Do your hair and nails often and experiment with new styles. Follow a healthy diet and exercise regularly to stay in good shape. No matter how busy your daily schedule is，always find at least an hour per day for yourself， when you can either relax doing absolutely nothing，or doing something that you enjoy. Learn to respect your own boundaries. Find out what your boundaries are and learn to respect them. You are the only one who knows what you can and what you cannot accept；no one else can point that out to you，or force you to compromise(妥协).51If you want to have a good relationship with others， you should first .Aget into the habit of living alone Bmake many friends in societyCalways tell the truth Dlearn to be your own best friend52What is the purpose of listening to your inner voice？ATo keep a good state of mind. BTo know more about yourself.CTo enjoy the time by yourself. DTo form a relationship with others.53In order to please yourself， the writer gives some suggestions EXCEPT .Aeating healthily Bexercise regularly Cexperimenting with new hair style Dkeeping on struggling54The underlined word “boundaries” nearly means “”.Aweaknesses Baims Cambitions Dlimits55 What is the structure of the passage？CUS military is attempting to develop a new style “insect robot” to replace the human soldier to go wherever he cant. The greatest trouble this project has fallen across is how to enable the robot to fly freely like an insect，said an official of the Pentagon(五角大楼). The Pentagon is seeking for the cooperation with scientists in hope of developing a new technique by which people can control the insects flight direction and pass on the information its eyes or other organs catch through the equipment set in its body，the official said. It is thus designed that a tiny controlling chip will be equipped in an insects body when it is in chrysalis(蛹). As the insect grows，the cut made when fixing in the chip will be recovered. The chip will exist in forever. Scientists believe this wont influence the insect， sound growth or the functions of internal organs. The terminal target of the project is to set up a global system，in which the insect robots will be stationed in all parts of the world and stick to their posts till a new instruction is received. At that time the military can receive from all over the world clear image information within about 5 meters of the insects and that of a special target within 100 meters. Years ago，Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency of US DOD(国防部) spent $3,000,000 carrying out a plan for training bees to detect landmines. But，no new progress has so far been made. “According to the scientists，there is still enormous difficulty in technology in turning it into reality，such as the insects reproduction(繁殖)，their adaptation to the surroundings and temperature and so on. However，this project is really challenging. If successful，it is equal to making countless small drone(无人机)，”said the official of DOD.56According to the description of the passage， what is an insect robot like？AAn insect made of a certain metal. BA robot looking like an insect.CAn insect with a chip in its body. DA tiny flying robot.57As for the design that an insect robot can receive and send information， how do you infer(推测) it works？AThere must be a controlling chip well connected with the insects brain.BThe insects eyes and other organs must be replaced by some special equipment.CAll the insects concerned organs must be controlled by a chip.DThe insect must be so well trained as to make full use of its organs.58When the project is completed， US military will.Ahave a clear picture of almost every part of the worldBhave insect robots from all over the worldCsee clearly the things within 10 to 100 metersDget many insects which obey their orders59Of the following technical problems， which is the one the scientists cant solve so far？AThey cant keep sound growth of the insects.BThey cant ensure the insects to produce their young.CThey cant fix a chip in an insect.DThey cant make sure the internal organs function well.60What does the underlined word “terminal” in the fourth paragraph mean？ALeading. BVital. CMoral. DFinal.第二节信息匹配（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）请阅读下列应用文及其相关信息，并按照要求匹配信息。第二节：五位学生打算选择适合各自情况的文学课程。第56至60题是学生对课程要求的介绍。阅读下面六个课程简介（A、B、C、D、E和F），选出符合各人需要的最佳选项，并在答题纸上将该选项标号涂黑。选项中有一项是多余选项。61 Tommy has the basic knowledge of American literature.
