A true friend is someone who stays with you f

9、or life.” 36 teaches that he is right. Good friendship is just not easily 37 . It is possible that we simply do not stay in one place long enough for a true friendship to 38 . However, there can be39 disagreement in the need for each of us to think carefully about what kind of friendship we want. To

10、 most of us, 40 are considered very important, but we need to make it clear in our minds what kind of friendship we want. Are they to be close or 41 at arms length? Do we want to 42 ourselves or do we want to walk on surface? For some people, many friendships on the surface are 43 enough and thats a

11、ll right. But at some point we need to make sure that our 44 are the same as our friends expectations. The sharing of 45 experiences including our tears as well as our dark dreams is the surest way to 46 friendships. But it must be undertaken（进行）slowly and 47 only if there are signs of interest and

12、action 48 . What are some of the 49 of friendship? The greatest is the attraction to expect too much too soon. Deep relationships 50 time. Another “major difficulty” is the selfishness to think one “ 51 ” the other, including his time and attention. 52 , friendships require actions in return. In oth

13、er words, you must give as 53 as you take. Finally, there is a question of taking care of.

Its an interesting and exciting new improvement in todays quality of the air we breathe and save our natural resources. The quali

17、ty of our air is affected by many different things. But one of the largest sources of air pollution is the burning of fossil fuels such as coal and gas which are used to power a cars engine. The EPA has set national standards to help control the level of harmful pollutants sent off into the air, and

18、 the automobile industry has acted by producing a hybrid car that uses less gas and therefore causes less pollution. A hybrid car is a combination of a regular car that runs on gas and an electric car that is battery powered. Some people tend to think that since the hybrid car is partly electric, yo

19、u have to plug it in to charge it. But thats not how it works. Through the energy that is produced when the cars brakes are used. This is referred to as “regenerative braking（再生制动）,” because it generates electricity. Although the hybrid car still runs on gas most of the time, this help it use less g

20、as than a regular car. When a driver stops at a traffic light, the engine automatically shuts off to save fuel. Then, as soon as the driver puts the car in gear（处于正常工作状态）and touches the gas pedal, the engine starts back up. Have you ever ridden in a car with someone who ran out of gas? That probably

21、 wouldnt happen if you were riding in a hybrid car. It flashed a warning reads: “ YOU ARE NOW OUT OF GAS!” Then the electric power supply energy in to let the driver travel a few more miles to a gas station.56According to the passage, the underlined word “hybrid” （in Paragraph 1） refers to _. Aa hig

22、h-tech discovery Benergy-saving Ca new invention Da new kind for the combination of two things57“Regenerative braking” is an important process of the hybrid car because_. Ait allows the car to come to a quick stop Bit makes the car ride smoother Cit generates energy to charge the electric motor Dit

23、can control the speed of the car58The EPA is important to our environment because _. Athey designed hybrid cars Bthey forbade the burning of fossil fuels Cthey set important rules that help control pollution Dtheir main purpose is to produce non-polluting cars59Which of the following is the reason f

24、or developing hybrid cars? AThey use less gas than regular cars. BTheyre safer to drive than most cars. CTheyre more modern than other cars.DThey cost less than regular cars.B Some pessimistic experts feel that the automobile is bound to fall into disuse. They see a day in the not-too-distant future

25、 when all autos will be abandoned and allowed to rust. Other authorities, however, think the auto is here to stay. They hold that the car will remain a leading means of urban travel in the foreseeable future.The motorcar will undoubtedly change significantly over the next 30 years. It should become

26、smaller, safer, and more economical, and should not be powered by the gasoline engine. The car of the future should be far more pollution-free than present types. Regardless of its power source, the auto in the future will still be the main problem in urban traffic congestion （拥挤）. One proposed solu

27、tion to this problem is the automated highway system. When the auto enters the highway system, a retractable （可伸缩的） arm will drop from the auto and make contact with a rail, which is similar to those powering subway trains electrically. Once attached to the rail, the car will become electrically pow

28、ered from the system, and control of the vehicle will pass to a central computer. The computer will then monitor all of the car's movements.The driver will use a telephone to dial instructions about his destination into the system. The computer will calculate the best route, and reserve space fo

29、r the car all the way to the correct exit from the highway. The driver will then be free to relax and wait for the buzzer （蜂鸣器） that will warn him of his coming exit. It is estimated that an automated highway will be able to handle 10,000 vehicles per hour, compared with the 1,500 to 2,000 vehicles

30、that can be carried by a present-day highway. 60One significant improvement in the future car will probably be_.Aits power sourceBits driving system Cits monitoring systemDits seating capacity 61What is the author's main concern?AHow to render automobiles pollution-free. BHow to make smaller and

31、 safer automobiles.CHow to solve the problem of traffic jams. DHow to develop an automated subway system. 62What provides autos with electric power in an automated highway system?AA rail. BAn engine.CA retractable arm.DA computer controller. 63In an automated highway system, all the driver needs to

32、do is _.Akeep in the right lane Bwait to arrive at his destinationCkeep in constant touch with the computer center Dinform the system of his destination by phone 64What is the author's attitude toward the future of autos?AEnthusiastic.BPessimistic.COptimistic.DCautious. C Chinese basketball play

33、ers have never been so close to the NBA before but questions remain about how they will adjust to life in the NBA if they go. Wang Zhizhi, the 2.16-metre center for the Bayi Rockets who was chosen by the Dallas Mavericks two years ago, has finally received permission from authorities to travel to Da

34、llas to play for the rest of the NBA season after he finishes playing in the Chinese Basketball Associations finals on March 25th.If he has no problems with his visa（签证）,Wang will be the NBAs first Asian player. Wang was chosen by the Mavericks in the second round of the 1999 draft but the Rockets,

35、an army-run club, refused to let him go. After negotiations（谈判）between the Rockets and NBA representatives（代表）,the decision was made to allow Wang the chance to try his hand at American basketball, but only for a period of short time. He has to be back to play in the Ninth National Games in November

36、 in Guangzhou.Another center who has attracted attention from the NBA is Yao Ming, the 2.25-meter star who has led to the Shanghai Sharks into the finals fight with the Rockets this year. The 20-year-olds NBA dreams might be harder to realize. Yao is the center of the Sharks and the clubs manager Be

37、i Genyuan has said that he would allow Yao to go only at a proper time, for a proper team and under proper conditions. Yao hasnt been chosen yet and it is unlikely that he will be any time soon. People in the Sharks front office earlier told members of the press that “it is not proper for Yao to att

38、end the draft this year” because he has to represent Shanghai in the Ninth National Games.Even if Wang and Yao make it to the promised land of basketball at last, analysts on both sides of the Pacific have said the NBA road will be a long one for both of them.Besides needing to work on their upper b

39、ody strength, Wang and Yao will also have to adapt（适应）to the speed, techniques and above all, culture of the NBA65Yao Ming has attracted attention from NBA because     _.Ahe is 2.25 metres tall, who is the tallest basketball player in ChinaBhe is the center of the Shanghai Sharks

40、 and has led Sharks into the final fight with the RocketsChe is regarded as the best basketball player in China Dhe is thought highly of in the international world66Yao Ming can play for NBA if   _.Athere is no problem with his visaBNBA agrees to supply favorable conditions for himCti

41、me and conditions are proper DNBA can pay a large sum of money for Sharks67NBA chose Wang Zhizhi so that   _.Ait can show NBA need talents BWang Zhizhi can have a bright futureCits whole level will be improved Dit can make Wang Zhizhi world-famous68When Wang Zhizhi plays in NBA, he wi

42、ll have to adapt to many things of NBA except.Arules of basketball            Bthe speedCculture           DtechniquesD For an increasing number of students at American universities, Ol

43、d is suddenly in. The reason is obvious: the graying of America means jobs. Coupled with the aging of the baby-boom （ 生育高峰） generation, a longer life span means that the nation's elderly population is bound to expand significantly over the next 50 years. By 2050, 25 percent of all Americans will

44、 be older than 65, up from 14 percent in 1995. The change poses profound questions for government and society, of course. But it also creates career opportunities in medicine and health professions, and in law and business as well. "In addition to the doctors, we're going to need more socio

45、logists, biologists, urban planners and specialized lawyers," says Professor Edward Schneider of the University of Southern California's （USC） School of Gerontology （老年学）. Lawyers can specialize in "elder law," which covers everything from trusts and estates to nursing-home abuse

46、and age discrimination （歧视）. Businessmen see huge opportunities in the elder market because the baby boomers, 74 million strong, are likely to be the wealthiest group of retirees in human history. "Any student who combines an expert knowledge in gerontology with, say, an MBA or law degree will

47、have a license to print money," one professor says. Margarite Santos is a 21-year-old senior at USC She began college as a biology major butfound she was "really bored with bacteria." So she took a class in gerontology and discovered that she liked it. She says, "I did volunteer

48、work in retirement homes and it was very satisfying." 69" Old is suddenly in" （Line 1, Pars. 1） most probably means"_".AAmerica has suddenly become a nation of old peopleBgerontology has suddenly become populaCmore elderly professors are found on American campuses DAmerican

49、colleges have realized the need of enrolling older students 70With the aging of America, lawyers can benefit _.Afrom the adoption of the "elder law"Bfrom rendering special services to the elderlyCby enriching their professional knowledge Dby winning the trust of the elderly to promote thei

50、r own interests 71Why can businessmen make money in the emerging elder market?ARetirees are more generous in spending money. BThey can employ more gerontologists.CThe elderly possess an enormous purchasing power. DThere are more elderly people working than before.72It can be seen from the passage th

51、at the expansion of America's elderly population _.Awill provide good job opportunities in many areas Bwill impose an unbearable burden on societyCmay lead to nursing home abuse and age discrimination Dwill create new fields of study in universitiesE Hundreds of thousands of people along the US

52、coast from New Orleans to northwest Florida were told to leave their homes on September 14 as deadly Hurricane Ivan roared（咆哮）into the Gulf of Mexico after striking western Cuba. Ivan, one of the most powerful Atlantic hurricanes on records, killed at least 68 people on a weeklong attack through the

53、 Caribbean as it caused widespread damage in Grenada, Jamaica and the Cayman Islands. It ripped off roofs and downed trees and power lines when it roared past Cube on Monday night, but the island was spared a direct hit and there were on reported deaths. Ivan, carrying winds of up to 140 mph, threat

54、ened（威胁）an area of several hundred miles from the beaches of the Florida Panhandle west through coastal Alabama and Mississippi to the flood-prone, historic jazz city of New Orleans, where officials told residents to get out. Storm-weary Florida authorities（官方）, preparing for a third hurricane strik

55、e in just over a month, told about 543,000 people to leave from the mobile homes and flood-prone coastal areas in at least 10 counties in the western Panhandle. Oil companies called back thousands of worker from offshore rigs（钻塔）and shut down some offshore rigs in the Gulf of Mexico, home of about a

56、 quarter of US oil and gas u=output. Ivans menacing presence pushed up world oil prices, which rose by more than 50 cents a barrel. Its top winds were down from a peak of 165 mph on Saturday, when the US National Hurricane Center said it was the sixth strongest Atlantic hurricane on record. But its hurricane-force winds extended out 105 miles.73The main ideas of the passage is that_.
