Everyone was astonished to see him. There was just one problem. Merlin had no way to stop his roller skates. He rolled on and on. Suddenly, he ran into a huge mirror that was hanging on the wall.

The value of it is seldom known until it is lost.” Charles Caleb.When you read the quote, stop and think about your friendships. Do you and your friends act in a caring way towards one another? Do you respect them and do they respect you? But most of all, do you value relationships and love spending time together?Friendship is more than just hanging out together at lunch and gossiping about other people. True friendship is when two people have respect for each another, and really care about each others feelings and dreams. You need to be able to be honest with your friends. Friends share with each other important things that they would not share with others. Friends also stick up for(支持) one another and enjoy spending time together.As you grow and become mature, your friends may change, but that does not mean that you have to keep away from your old friends. Your relationships may change though. Pay close attention to the different types of friends you have had the way your friends treat you, what sorts of things you can talk about, and the things you like to do. Soon you will see what qualities in a friend are the most important to you. Whatever it is that you value most, make sure that your needs, as well as your friends needs, are met. If you are feeling ignored or mistreated by a friend, you need to think more about your relationship. Friendship should bring you joy, not misery. Find out what you want out of a friendship, and try not to be overtaken by those around you who are not yet mature enough to commit to (全心全意地投入) a true friendship.48. Charles Calebs words imply that _.A. one may fall ill without friendshipsB. people who have close friends are healthyC. we should value good friendshipsD. everyone is dependent on their friends49. In the writers opinion, the most important thing real friends should do is _.A. enjoy spending time hanging out together at lunchB. not be selfish, but be generous to one anotherC. respect and be honest with one anotherD. often judge the quality of the friendship and try to improve it50. The writer may think that _.A. people should not gossip about other people with their friendsB. real friends should care about each others feelings and dreamsC. important things should not be shared with others but friendsD. losing old friends is like losing health51. According to the last paragraph, during our lives _.A. we may have different types of friends in different periodsB. friends are like passers-by who come and go as they likeC. it will take a long time to judge who are our friendsD. our friends may have different needs from usEIn America the first newspaper appeared in Boston in 1690. Published without permission(许可), it was immediately cancelled, and all copies were destroyed. Indeed, it remained forgotten until 1845 when the only surviving example was discovered in the British Library.The first successful newspaper was the Boston News-Letter, begun by John Campbell in 1704. Although it was heavily supported by the government, the experiment was a near failure, with the limited number of published newspapers. Two more papers were published in the 1720s, in Philadelphia and New York. Just before the Revolutionary War, some two dozen papers were published in all the colonies(殖民地), although Massachusetts, New York, and Pennsylvania would remain the centers of American printing for many years. Articles in colonial papers were a major force that influenced public opinion in America to be fully independent.When the war ended in 1783 there were forty-three newspapers in print. The press played an active role in the affairs of the new nation. Many more newspapers were started, representing all kinds of political opinions, and Americas newspapers began to take on a central role in national affairs. Growth continued in every state. By 1814 there were 346 newspapers. The price of a years worth of newspapers was usually over a full weeks pay for a laborer. It had to be paid in full and in advance. This cheap, interesting reading material significantly helped to make almost everyone literate in America, which is now taken for granted.52. Why was the first newspaper in America stopped from being published?A. Because it was published without the permission of the government.B. Because only the British Library had the right to publish it.C. Because no one wanted to buy newspapers at that time.D. Because no one in America could read newspapers at that time.53. Why did the author say Boston News- Letter was a successful newspaper?A. Because it published a large number of newspapers.B. Because it was immediately accepted by the American people.C. Because it was the first newspaper supported by the government.D. Because never before was one newspaper published.54. The main force to influence public opinion in America for Americas independence was _.A. the large circulation of the newspapers B. the articles in colonial newspapersC. the appearance of more papers D. the centers of American printing55. What was the situation for newspapers in America after the war ended in 1783?A. They were banned just as before.B. It was hard to say how they developed.C. All the people in America bought at least one newspaper.D. It played a more important part in daily life.第II卷（共35分）第一节：单词拼写 （共5分）56.
