The answers they got were broader and deeper than anyone could have imagined. See what you think:“ When my grandmother got arthritis关节炎, she couldnt bend over and paint her toenails any more. So my grandfather does it for her all the time, even when his hands got arthritis too. Thats love.”-Rebecca, age 8“Love is when you go out to eat and give somebody most of your French fries without making them give you any of theirs.”-Chrissy, age 6“Love is when my mommy makes coffee for my daddy and she takes a sip呀一口 before giving it to him, to make sure the taste is OK.”-Danny, age 7“Love is when you tell a guy you like his shirt, then he wears it every day.”-Noelle,age7“ My mommy loves me more than anybody. You dont see anyone else kissing me to sleep at night.”-Clare, age 6“ Love is when my mommy sees daddy smelly and sweaty and still says he is handsomer than David Bechham.”-Chris, age 7Author and lecturer Leo Buscaglia once talked about a contest he was asked to judge. The purpose of the contest was to find the most caring child. The winner was a four-year-old child whose next door neighbour was an elderly gentleman who had recently lost his wife. Upon seeing the man cry, the little boy went into the old gentlemans yard, climbed onto his lap, and just sat there.

What is the purpose of writing the text?A. To report a survey B. To expain the meaning of loveC. To report a contest D. To show childrens loveliness( C )Today the word friendship has been used so often that it has lost its meaning. Some jokinglyOr seriously say that friends are made to be used. It makes me very sad.Truefriendship doesnt mean that when you need your friends help，you will treat him to dinner，and when you have to protect yourself，you will put your friends in a difficult situation.In fact，true friendship is the communication and understanding of the hearts（心）.True friendship is like water. Compared wish decent wine，water is tasteless，but is of great help when we are thirsty. True friends dont need to be with each other every day，but are connected in heart every minute.True friendship is like medicine. Though it is bitter，it cures your illness. True friends give you some suggestions even if they know you would not take. They criticize you when others have a good word for you，not because of envy but worrying that you may lose your cool head.True friendship has nothing to do with fame，power or money. True friends would often watch you silently far away when you are influential，but come to you whenever you need theirhelp. Youre not his stepping-stone to success，but are his crutch 垫脚石to live through difficulties.True friends make you complete. Many persons go along with you through your lifeyour parents，your spouse配偶，and your children，who take care of you and make your life happy. However，you still need someone who understands your thoughts and souls. Without them，you are likely to be unhealthy in spirit.True friends stay in your heart，rather than at your side；they know you more than yourself，and try to better you.Once you have found such a true friend，do treasure（珍惜）him. If your true friend disappears，how can you make the sound of your heart understood？8.The writer feels sad because some people_.A. dont understand friendship B. make wrong friendsC. dont treasure friendship D. blame their friends9.The writer speaks of water because_.A.it has no taste B.it is important to our lifeC. it is easy to get D.it stays with us every day10. The underlined word“influential” in Paragraph 5 means“_”.11. A.busy B.quiet C.helpful D.powerful12.13. 11.According to the passage，true friends may help you.14. A. enjoy mental health B. achieve success15. C.understand them better D. live a happy life( D )Science has a lot of uses.It can uncover laws of nature,cure diseases,make bombs,and help bridges to stand up.Indeed science is so good at what it does that theres always a temptation(诱惑)to drag it into problems where it may not be helpful.David Brooks,author of The Social Animal:The Hidden Sources of Love,Character,and Achievement,appears to be the latest in a long line of writers who have failed to resist抵制 the temptation.Brooks gained fame for several books.His latest book The Social Animal,however,is more ambitious and serious than his earlier books.It is an attempt to deal with a set of weighty topics.The book focuses on big questions:What has science revealed about human nature?What are the sources of character?And why are some people happy and successful while others arent?To answer these questions,Brooks surveys a wide range of disciplines(学科).Considering this,you might expect the book to be a dry recitation of facts.But Brooks has structured his book in an unorthodox(非常规的),and perhaps unfortunate,way.Instead of introducing scientific theories,he tells a story,within which he tries to make his points,perhaps in order to keep the readers attention.So as Harold and Erica,the hero and heroine in his story,live through childhood,we hear about the science of child development,and as they begin to date we hear about the theory of sexual attraction.Brooks carries this through to the death of one of his characters.On the whole,Brookss story is acceptable if uninspired.As one would expect,his writing is mostly clear and,to be fair,some chapters stand out above the rest.I enjoyed,for instance,the chapter in which Harold discovers how to think on his own.While Harold and Erica are certainly not strong or memorable characters,the more serious problems with The Social Animal lie elsewhere.These problems partly involve Brookss attempt to translate his tale into science.12.The author mentions the functions of science at the beginning of the passage to_.A.illustrate where science can be appliedB.demonstrate the value of Brookss new bookC.remind the reader of the importance of scienceD.explain why many writers use science in their works13.According to the author,which of the following could be a strength of the book?A.Its strong basis. B.Its convincing points.C.Its clear writing. D.Its memorable characters.14.What is the authors general attitude towards the book?A.Contradictory.B.Supportive.C.Cautious.D.Critical.15.What is the author likely to write about after the last paragraph?A.Problems with the book. B.Brookss life experiences.C.Death of the characters. D.Brookss translation第二节 (共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Whether youre new to your neighbourhood or have lived there for ages, it is never too late to build a good relationship with your neighbours.
