That is why some friendship dont last long. To have a friend, you must learn to be one. You must learn to treat your friend the way you want your friend to treat you. Learning to be a good friend means learning three rules: be honest; be generous; be understanding. Honesty is where a good friendship starts. Friends must be able to trust one another. If you do not tell the truth, people usually find out. If a friend finds out that you havent been honest, you may lose friends trust. Good friends always count on one another to speak and act honestly. Generosity means sharing and sharing makes a friendship grow. You do not have to give your lunch money or your clothes. Naturally you will want to share your ideas and feelings. These can be very valuable to a friend. They tell your friend what is important to you. By sharing them, you help your friend know better. Sooner or later everyone needs understanding and helping with problems. Something may go wrong at school. Talking about the problem can make it easier to solve. Turning to a friend can be a first step in solving the problem. So to be a friend you must listen and understand. You must try to put yourself in your friends place so you can understand the problem better. No two friendships are ever exactly alike. But all true friendships have three things in common. If you plan to keep your friends, you must practice honesty, generosity, and understanding. 11. Some friendships dont last very long because_.

Honesty is the Best Policy B. A Friend in Need is a Friend IndeedC. How to be Friend D. Three Important Points in Life BThere is a way to clean space might be through a large space net, like a huge fishing net to catch all the litter floating around the Earth. Its not science fiction(科幻小说). A Japanese company is looking into developing a satellite that would then throw out a net made by Nitto Seimo Co, which makes fishing nets. It would form around the litter and draw it back towards the Earth, and the litter would burn up in the planets atmosphere. The idea of a net is because that would catch the smallest pieces of the space litter which could make holes in satellites, spacecrafts or other expensive equipment.Whats surprising is that there are so many people that dont think there is a problem with space litter, especially since billions and billions of dollars worth of valuable equipment has to travel around the litter clouds every day.Another similar net idea is being developed by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA). Theyre developing a space garbage collecting vehicle that would be armed with 200 special nets to collect the space litter. Called the Electrodynamic Debris Eliminator, or EDDE, it was created by Star Inc. It would fly in low Earth orbit and pick up litter as it traveled. Its said that it could pick up over 2，000 pieces of litter in seven years. Star says they could do a first test run of the EDDE as soon as 2018.All in all the main problem in getting rid of all space litter is likely money. Cleaning it all up will be very expensive for sure. However, something needs to be done and the sooner, the better.15.The author thinks it is surprising that_.A. there is so much litter in space.B. such a net can be used to clean space.C. space litter can do damage to satellites.D. many people dont regard space litter as a problem.16.According to the passage, EDDE_.A. can collect 2,000 pieces of litter per year.B. will be sent into space in the near future.C. is an organization that deals with space litter.D. is the name of a net made by Nitto Seimo Co.17What is the main problem concerned with cleaning space?AThe cleaning will be expensive.BWe havent found an excellent method.CWe may damage the expensive equipment.DIt is not worth the huge cost to clean space.18Which of the following will the author agree with?AIt is not difficult at all to deal with space litter.BWe should limit the use of expensive equipment.CIt is necessary to clean space litter as soon as possible.DGarbage collecting vehicles should be widely used in our daily life.CInvention of TV began in 1922 in Rigby, Idaho, the hometown of Philo.

Wansink calls this kind of food comfort food. For some people, ice cream is a comfort food. For others, a bowl of noodles makes them feel good. 27 Professor Wansink believes that we connect food with important times, feelings, and people in our lives, “When I was a child, my mother made a delicious soup; I loved it. 28 And it helps me feel better,” says one of Wansinks coworkers. 29 Wansinks research (研究) at the University of Illinois says “yes”. In his study, the favourite comfort food for both men and women was ice cream. After this, men usually preferred hot, delicious foods like soup or noodles. Women liked sweet things such as chocolate and candies. Men and women like to eat comfort foods when they are happy, but women eat these foods more when they are sad or worried. 30 About 40 percent of the comfort foods in Wansinks study were healthy main dishes or soups and vegetables. It shows, says Wansink, that a comfort food can taste good and be good for you.A. Not all comfort food is junk food.B. Where can we buy this sort of food?C. Sweet foods are also their preference.D. How does a food became comfort food?E. Usually, we eat because we are hungry or need energy.F. Do men and women choose different comfort foods?G. Now, I often eat this kind of food when I am tired or worried. 四、完形填空（每小题1.5分，共30分）A man planed to plant a small mango tree and enjoy the benefits.
