While they have learned to play well with others during their childhood, developing independent friendships is a different thing. Preteens and teens will be allowed to use their own resources to decide whether to be someones friend or not, instead of being taught by their parents. Parents must give their teenagers some freedom in choosing who they want to hang out with. You can help your teens to choose their friends, although its your teenagers who make the final decision. You can use teachable moments to talk about what makes a good friend. Here are some points to remember when you talk about friendships with your teenagers: 1) You are allowed to have many friends; 2) Honesty is important in a friendship; 3) Friends sometimes hurt each other, but they can say sorry and forgive(原谅); 4) Friends can influence each other, sometimes they will help you but sometimes they will hurt you, too.5) Who you choose to be your friend is important, so choose wisely; 6) It takes many learned skills to make and keep a friendship, and it also takes many skills to end a friendship; 7) It is okay and even helpful to make friends with the opposite gender(异性); 8) It takes time to make a good friend, but it is worth the effort; 9) Spending time together will help you get to know your friends well and you will feel comfortable sharing feelings; 10) A good friendship will make you feel good about yourself.54.

Colombian Ambassador(大使)to Mexico Jose Gabriel Ortiz confirmed(确认) the news. The author of the famous novel “One Hundred Years of Solitude(孤独),” an outstanding work of literature(文学) that introduced the world to magic realism(魔幻现实主义), had been checked into a hospital on April 3 to be treated for the serious disease. Garcia Marquez, who worked as a reporter for many years before dedicating himself to writing fictions, had been living in Mexico City since the 1960s. A master(大师) of magic realism, along with Latin American writers Julio Cortazar, Juan Rulfo, Carlos Fuentes and Mario Vargas Llosa, Garcia Marquez, wrote many well-known novels, such as “No One Writes to the Colonel” and “Autumn of the Patriarch.” “One Hundred Years of Solitude,” his masterpiece(杰作) published in 1967, has been translated into 35 languages and sold more than 30 million copies. (Xinhua, April 18, 2014)58. Where can we possibly read the passage?A. In a movie poster. B. In a sports magazine.C. In a newspaper. D. In a comic book.59. What was Garcia Marquez before he started writing fictions?A. A Nobel Prize winner. B. A master of magic realism.C. A reporter. D. An ambassador.60. Whats the meaning of the underlined words “dedicating himself to”? A. 奉献给 B. 全神贯注于 C. 坚持 D. 竭尽全力于61. Which of the following is the most famous novel written by Garcia Marquez?A.

Or is intelligence (智力) developed by our environment and our experience? Strangely enough, the answer to these questions is yes. In some degree, our intelligence is given to us at birth, and no education can make a genius (天才) out of a child born with low intelligence. On the other hand, a child who lives in a boring environment will develop his intelligence less than one who lives in rich environment. Therefore, the limits(限度) of persons intelligence are fixed at birth, whether or not he reaches those limits will depend on his environment. This point of view now is held by most experts. It is easy to show that intelligence is something that we are born with. The closer the blood relationship between two people, the closer they are likely to be intelligence. If we take two strangers by chance from the population, it seems that their degree of intelligence will be completely different. If, on the other hand, we compare two twins, they will very likely be as intelligent as each other. Relations like brothers and sisters, parents and children, usually have similar intelligence, and this clearly suggests that intelligence depends on birth. Imagine now that we take two twins and put them in different environments. We might send one, for example, to a university and the other to a factory separately where the work is boring. We would soon find differences in intelligence developing, and this shows that environment as well as birth plays an important part. This result is also suggested by the fact that people who live in close contact with each other, but who are not related at all are likely to have similar degree of intelligence. 62. How is mans intelligence given? A. At birth. B. Through education.C. Both at birth and through education. D. Neither at birth nor through education.63. What can we learn from the example of the twins going to a university and to a factory? A. The importance of their intelligence. B. The role of environment on intelligence. C. The importance of their jobs. D. The part that birth plays.64. What statement is TRUE according to the passage? A. No education can help make a genius. B. Personality is important as intelligence which was given to people at birth. C. People who have similar degree of intelligence must be relatives. D. Environment influences people in intelligence developing.65. How does the writer make his idea clear? A. By giving explanation. B. By giving an example. C. By giving figures(数字). D. By giving suggestions.第卷 非选择题（60分）五、词汇运用 （共10小题；每小题1分，计10分） 根据提示完成句子，每空一词66. Im strongly _ (反对)smoking because it may cause cancer. 67.
