sisters to fight with each other and then they can only go to their friends for advice.it is very important for teenagers to have one good friend or many friends.even when they are not with their friends，they usually spend a lot of time talking among themselves on the phone.this communication is very important in childrens growing up，because friends can discuss something difficult to say to their family members.however，parents often try to choose their childrens friends for them.some parents may even stop their children from meeting their good friends.the question of “choice” is an interesting one.have you ever thought of the following questions?who chooses your friends?do you choose your friends or your friends choose you?have you got a good friend your parents dont like?36why

longlasting.if you trust the person whom you have a good relationship with and the other person also trusts you in the same way，then you two have a good relationship.you can remember the important date of your friends such as their birthdays and wish them or give gifts to them on these special days.many people say that money is the most important thing to consider，but remember friendship is not about money.you can find something small and inexpensive for their gifts or send online cards.a friend should also always help others even when it is not very convenient.so have a helping hand ready at all times.sometimes distance makes relationships even closer.so，if you are far from your friends，there are many ways you can remain in contact(联系)you can use email，chat programs，and you can also

study，preschool boys perform better on tests that measure learning and other important skills when they are in classes that have more girls than boys.this doesnt seem to apply to girls，though.for preschool girls，the presence or absence of boys does not affect learning.“the study raises questions about having allboy or allgirl classes for preschool，”says psychologist arlen moller，who led the study.she added，“previous researches have shown that highschool girls may study better in allgirl schools.in middle school，however，the effects of samesex schooling are unclear，and even less is known for very young kids.” to find out，researchers studied 70 preschool classes with a total of 806 children who were between 3.5 and 6 years old.for each class，teachers recorded the students progress over a 6.5month school year.their data included scores of motor skills，social skills and thinking skills.researchers found that boys developed each of these skills more quickly when there were more girls in the class than boys.in majoritygirl classrooms，boys developed at the same rate as girls.but in classes where boys were the majority，boys developed more slowly than girls.girls tended to advance in classrooms which had any combination of boys and girls.the study is one of the first to look at how the proportion of boys and girls in a class affects learning.because its a new finding，researchers dont know why this difference exists.“this is an exciting topic，but its too early to draw any conclusion because this area is so underexplored，” says psychologist lean malofeeva of the high/scope educational research foundation in ypsilanti，michigan.51what is the finding of the researchers led by arlen moller？(no more than 15 words)_52according to the research，what effect does a minoritygirl class have on boys study？(no more than 8 words)_53how does lean malofeeva find the study of the researchers led by arlen moller？(no more than 6 words)_54list three abilities the researchers focused on.(no more than 7 words)_section cdirections：write an english composition according to the instructions given below in chinese.请根据下列四幅图画用英语写篇故事，并简要谈谈你的看法。注意：1故事须包括所有图画的内容，可以适当增加细节，使故事连贯；2图中学生为tom；开头已给出，不计入总词数；3词数不少于120。参考词汇：写生draw from nature画板drawing board斧 axetom is a primary school student and he enjoys drawing very much._参考答案part section a1. cit用于help，like，hate，appreciate等词之后，代指一件事。 2. aseek fortune意为“寻求财富”，b、c、d三项均无此义。 3. a句意：“你惹简的话，她会发火。”tend to do sth.“倾向于/易于干某事”。 4. c本题考查固定搭配。convince sb. of sth.“使某人相信某事，使某人信服”；the effect on.“对的影响”。 5. a句意：“这本书很有价值，但只有你深入理解了，才可以欣赏。”nothing与后面的until构成一个看似否定其实是肯定的表达，“只有才”。 6. d“can not/never.too”为双重否定结构，此处意为“再感谢你也不过分”。 7. a第一空用it特指上文提到的a copy of the book。因为书店里有很多本书，所以第二个空用one代替单数名词，是泛指。 8. c本题为词义辨析题，重在考查在语境中辨析词义，此处的意思是“你怎么要价？”。pay是指别人要给说话人钱。offer是主动提供，不符合题义。afford是指付得起。本题的解题关键是看所填空格的动作发出者是you，而不是i。 9. chave sb.do.“让某人做某事”。 10. dcompared with和in comparison with都可以表示“与相比”；第二个空应该用过去分词作定语表示“被提供”。11. aconfusing“令人迷惑的”；confused“感到困惑的”。 12. awho引导定语从句，且在定语从句中作宾语。 13. c“_ the gold ring”是make sure的宾语从句，应用陈述语序，排除b、d两项；用现在完成时态表示对现在的影响。 14. b考查交际用语。上句邀请对方，但下句由i have another one that day.可以看出那天不能去，此处答语应该是委婉回绝，what a pity符合语境。其他均不合句意，故选b项。 15. b句意：“虽然汤姆锻炼得不多，但他身材很好。”section b16d“没有”选择自己的孩子(作继任者)，他决定做一些与众不同的事情。instead of “代替；而不是”。17c由后文的“i want you to plant the seed”可知答案。18a句意：“我想让你们种下种子，给它浇水，一年之后带回来给我看。”19d句意：“我会评判你们种出来的植物，并且选一个人作为下一任总裁。”20a带着可能成为总裁的希望，吉姆“兴奋地”回到家里。21c吉姆每天都给种子浇水，“看看”它长出来了没有。22d句意：“时光飞逝，到了把植物带回去给老板评判的时候了。”23b吉姆被其他主管带回去的各种各样的植物“惊呆了”。24b其他主管带回去的植物都很“漂亮”。25a老总裁 “扫视了”一下房间。26b吉姆的种子什么也没长出来，所以罐子是“空的”。27c老总裁向年轻的主管们“宣布”下一任总裁是谁。section c28health根据常识，盘尼西林提高了人们的“健康”标准。29important盘尼西林被认为是现代社会最“重要的”消炎药之一。30a第一次提到的人或物用不定冠词修饰。31outtry out“实验”。32too承接上文，另一种细菌“也”被它杀死了。33however上下两段之间为转折关系，故填however。34thatthat 与上文的it was构成强调句型。35quantitiesin large quantities “大量的”。part
