山东省实验中学四诊测试题-英语4CGrowing up across the street from each other in Twin Falls, Idaho, Lisa Fry and Paula Turner never doubted their friendship would last forever. But after Fry married, moved to New York City and had a baby, her letters to Turner suddenly went unanswered. “ Do you think Ive somehow offended her?” Fry asked her husband.Turner, meanwhile, had convinced herself she was no longer important to Fry. “Shes got a family now,” she told herself. “ Were just too different to be close like before.”Finally, Fry picked up the courage to call her old friend. At first, the conversation was awkward, yet soon they both admitted that they missed each other. A month later, they got together and quickly fell into their old habit of laughing and sharing confidences.“ Thank goodness I finally took action,” Fry says. “ We both realized we were as important to each other as ever.”There are good reasons to cherish(珍惜) our friendships. Some years ago a public-opinion research firm, Roper Starch Worldwide, asked people to identify one or two things that said the most about themselves. Friends far outranked homes, jobs, clothes and cars.“A well-established friendship carries a long history of experience and interaction that defines who we are and keep us connected,” says Donald Pannen, executive officer of the Western Psychological Association. “ It is a heritage(传统) we should protect.”Ironically, says Brant R. Burleson, professor of communication at Purdue University in West Lafayette, Ind. “ the better friends you are, the more likely youll face conflicts.” And the outcome can be precisely what you dont want- an end to the friendship.The good news is that most troubled friendships can be mended.64.

People all think friends are far more important than homes, jobs, clothes and cars.D. Lisa Fry and Paula Turner misunderstood each other at first.67.

How to cherish friendship.DSpecial trees that grow faster, fight pollution, produce better wood, and even sense chemical attacks are being planted by scientists in the US.When 40 percent of Hawaiis US $ million-a-year papaya (番木瓜树) industry was destroyed by a virus five years ago, work began on creating genetically engineered (转基因) trees.Researchers successfully introduced seeds that were designed to resist the virus. Since then, more and more people have been testing genetically trees. Some researchers put special bacteria into trees to help them grow faster and produce better wood. Others are trying to create trees that can clean polluted soil. Meanwhile, fruit farmers are looking for trees that are strong enough to resist worms. And paper companies want trees that produce more wood and therefore more paper.The Pentagon (五角大楼) even gave the researcher US $500,000 this year after they developed a pine tree that changes its colors if it senses a chemical attack. So far, the poplar, eucalyptus, apple and coffee trees are among those being engineered. All this can be done today because we have a better understanding of tree genomes (基因组). However, some people fear that the genetically engineered trees will cause dangerous results. They are worried that the new trees will breed (繁殖) with natural species and change the balance of the forest environment.“It could be destructive,” said Jim Diamond, an environmentalist. “Trees are what is left of our natural environment and home to many endangered species.” But researchers insist that science could give nature a fighting chance against both natural and man-made dangers.They hope to answer the critics by stopping the new trees from breeding, so their effect on the environment can be controlled.68. Which of the following is NOT the kind of the trees that scientists are planting in the US?A. Trees that worms cant hurt.B. Trees that can protect themselves at a chemical attack.C. Trees that can resist wind better.D. Trees that can clean polluted soil.69. What caused the American scientists to work on special trees?A. They think science could give nature a fighting chance against both natural and man-made dangers.B. Great numbers of trees have been lost due to attacks of viruses.C. Researchers successfully introduced seeds designed to resist the virus.D. Tree genomes are mapped out so scientist know how to improve trees.70. Why did critics think genetically engineered trees dangerous?A. These trees may destroy the balance of nature.B. Everything except trees has been genetically engineered.C. Trees are home to many endangered species.D. These trees may affect normal trees.71. The writer wrote the passage to tell us _.A. what genetically engineered trees areB. Americans are working on genetically engineered treesC. America gains the lead in the study of genetically engineeringD. the environment is going from bad to worseE Take care of those who use the truth to deceive. When someone tells you something that is true，but leaves out important information that should be included, he can make impression. For example,someone might say, “I just won a hundred dollars on the lottery?. It was great. I took thatdollar ticket back to the store and turned it in for on hundred dollars?”This man is a winner, right? Maybe, maybe not. We then discovered that he bought two hundred tickets, and only one was a winner. He is really a big loser! He didnt say anything that was false, but he left out important information on purpose. Thats called a half-truth. Half-truths are not technically lies,but they are just as dishonest.Untrustworthy candidates in political campaigns often use this trick. Lets say that during Governor Smiths last term, her state lost one million jobs and gained three million jobs. Then she seeks another term. One of her opponents(对手) runs an ad, saying: “During Governor Smiths term, the state lost one million jobs!” Thats true. However an honest statement would have been, “During Governor Smiths term, the state had a net gain of two million jobs.”Advertisers will sometimes use half-truths. Its against the law to make false statements so they try to mislead you with the truth. An ad might tell you proudly, “Nine out of ten doctors recommend Yucky Pills to cure nose pimples. It fails to mention that they only asked ten doctors and nine of them work for the Yucky Corporation.”This kind of trick happens too often. Its a sad fact of life: Lies are lies, and s
