2．阅读理解
Sara was sitting in the kitchen going over the party list with her mother. The exams were over and Sara wanted to invite her friends for a party and have fun.
"Sara, aren't you going to invite Ada?" her mother asked. Ada had been her best friend since childhood.
"Mother, you know I am now a member of Purple Girls Club and we have some rules about people we can be friends with." Sara answered in a low voice.
"Really? And what are the rules?" her mother asked in surprise.
"Well, only very pretty girls can be part of our group. And Ada is so...you know...dark."
"I can't believe it." her mother said angrily.
As Sara left the kitchen, her father called her from the living room. Sara went to her father and got nervous when she saw the exam report in his hands.
"Sara, what has happened to your grades? You have failed in math." her father said.
Sara had no answer. The truth was that the activities of Purple Girls Club left her with very little time for studies.
"Sara, it says that you can take part in supplementary exams. If your grades don't improve then, I'll cancel your trip to Spain in the coming holiday."
Sara went to her room and called Gina, the leader of Purple Girls Club.
"Gina, can you help me to complete my notes before the exams?"
Gina just said, "Exams? Who cares about exams?"
One by one, she called all her friends in the club but no one seemed to care or wanted to help her. Then Sara thought of Ada. She knew Ada would help her. She also knew Ada had been hurt by her, but Ada said, "If you need any help, just let me know. We can study together till your exams."
Next Monday, as the two friends entered the school together, Gina called out, "Sara, you know our club rules. You can't be friends with those who do not belong to our club."
"Gina, I have a new rule about friendship." Sara replied, "And I've decided to leave the club."（1）After Sara became a member of Purple Girls Club, she chose a friend according to a person's____________.
A. grades
B. looks
C. usual activities
D. favorite colors
（2）Sara became nervous after going to her father because____________.

C. she had to leave Purple Girls Club
D. he asked her to improve her grades
（3）From the passage we know that Ada is ____________.
A. Silly.
B. Rude.
C. Kind.
D. Beautiful.
（4）Why did Sara leave the club at last? （请用约30-50个词回答）
【答案】（1）B
（2）A
（3）C
（4）Because the club members and Sara have different rules about friendship. The members only make friends with very pretty people. Also, When Sara failed in the exam, no one in the club wanted to help her except Ada. What's more, the club members don’t care abou t study and exams.
【解析】【分析】大意：文章主要介绍了Sara参加了一个紫色女子俱乐部，这个俱乐部只接受漂亮的女孩子，因此Sara不再跟Ada做朋友，但是俱乐部还使得Sara没时间学习且俱乐部里没有人愿意帮助Sara，最后她决定退出这个俱乐部的故事。

（1）推理判断题。

根据第五段 only very pretty girls can be part of our group. 只有漂亮的女孩可以成为我们组的成员，可知紫色女子俱乐部选择朋友是根据一个人的外貌。

故选B。

（2）细节理解题。

根据第八段 You have failed in math. 你数学考试失败了，可知Sara之所
以紧张，是因为数学考得不好。

故选A。

（3）推理判断题。

根据倒数第三段 but Ada said, "If you need any help, just let me know. We can study together till your exams." 但是Ada说“如果你需要任何帮助就让我知道。

我们可以一起学习到你考试”，可知尽管Sara伤害过Ada，但是Ada还愿意帮助Sara学习，所以Ada是个善良的女孩子。

故选C。

（4）主观题。

通读全文可知，Sara决定退出女子俱乐部是因为她和这个俱乐部对于友谊的看法是不同的。

这个俱乐部只允许和漂亮的女孩子做朋友，但是但Sara数学考试失败的时候，俱乐部的朋友却没有人愿意帮助她，只有Ada愿意。

而且俱乐部的成员不在乎学习和成绩。

故答案为 Because the club members and Sara have different rules about friendship. The members only make friends with very pretty people. Also, When Sara failed in the exam, no one in the club wanted to help her except Ada. What's more, the club members don’t care about study and exams.

3．阅读理解
March, 2013, the H7N9 virus （病毒） hit （袭击） Shanghai, Anhui, Jiangsu, Zhejiang and so on. It seemed that most people who were infected （被感染） with H7N9 had the common flu （流感）. Some people suffered from a fever or a cough.

Wash your hands. You need to wash your hands with soap and hot water before you eat, after you use the toilet, and after you touch animals, because your hands may carry viruses.
Cover your nose and mouth. When someone sneezes （打喷嚏） or coughs, flu viruses can travel as far as one meter through the air, so you'd better keep a proper distance （距离） while talking to someone who has a cold. And always cover your mouth and nose with a piece of paper when you sneeze or cough, and then clean your hands.
Wear a mask （口罩）. Some doctors say that masks can stop the flu as much as 80%, but if you don't wash your hands often, it's no use wearing a mask. And it's necessary to wear the mask in the groups of people.
Do sports often. Exercises will help make your body strong enough to resist the virus.

Sometirmes she said I talked too much, and so on. I tried to put up with（忍受）her as long as I could. At last, I became very angry. I ran to my father with tears in my eyes.
He listened to me quietly, and then he asked, "Are the things she said true or not? Mary, have you ever wondered what you're really like? Go and make a list of everything she said and mark the points that are true. Pay no attention to the other things she said. "
I did as he told me and I was very surprised to discover that about half the things were true.
I took the list to my dad. He refused to take it. "That's just for you," he said. "You know the truth about yourself better than any other people. When something said about you is true, it will be helpful to you. Don't shut your ears. Listen to them all, but remember the truth and do what you think is right."
Many years have passed. The situation often appears in my mind. In our life we often meet with some trouble and we often go to someone and ask for advice. For some advice you will treasure（珍惜）all your life！

6．阅读理解
"What! You too? I thought I was the only one." Have you ever said this to someone? If so, you may have ended up becoming friends with this person.
It seemed that similarity often helps form friendships. The Greek philosopher（哲学家）Aristotle once said, "Some define（下定义） friendship as a matter of similarity. They say that we love those who are like ourselves."
Now, there is some science behind this idea. Scientists from University of California said friends have similar brains, Scientific American reported.
The scientists invited 42 university students to take part in an experiment. Each student watched the same set of videos, which included a comedy, a discussion and a soccer match. Meanwhile, scientists studied their brains and recorded their brain activity.
According to their study, friends who watched the same video clips reacted in similar ways. Similar parts of their brains lit up while watching the videos, especially parts that were connected with motivation（动力）， learning and memory.
However, people who weren't friends had different reactions to the same clips.
"Having close friends whose brains react like ours may be rewarding because it makes one's won values, opinions, and interests strength," scientist Carolyn Parkinson told Business Insider. But brain similarity is not the only thing that can result in friendship. Scientists from the
University of Leipzig, Germany, found that friendship is also based on how physically close you are to someone.
They did an experiment with first-year college students who met in class for the first time. In this experiment, students who sat in neighbouring seats were more likely to become friends.（1）What does "this idea" in Paragraph 3 refer to?
A. Many friendships start with small chats.
B. Friends try to develop similarities between themselves.
C. People with similarities may become friends
D. We like those who like us first.
（2）The 42 university students in the experiment_____________.
A. are all from the University of California
B. were close friends before the experiment
C. watched the same set of videos
D. reacted differently from each other
（3）What did the study of the students' brains show?
A. They had watched the same video clips.
B. Friends had similar reactions to the same clips.
C. Watching videos improves one's memory.
D. It's good to have friends who react similarly.
（4）According to the story , what else may help build friendship?
A. Being fun and helpful
B. Studying at the same college.
C. Having similar appearances
D. Being physically close.
（5）The best title of the passage is "__________"
A. What is friendship
B. Friends can think alike
C. An experiment about friendship
D. How can we build friendship
【答案】（1）C
（2）C
（3）B
（4）D
（5）B
【解析】【分析】这是一篇说明文，主要告诉我们相似的人或者距离较近的人更容易成为朋友。

（1）细节理解题，根据Now , there is some science behind this idea. Scientists from University of California said friends have similar brains, Scientific American reported.现在，有一些科学背后的想法。

据“科学美国人"报道，加州大学的科学家们说，朋友们也有类似的大脑，可知这里this idea是指有相似之处的人可能会成为朋友，故选C。

（2）细节理解题，根据The scientists invited 42 university students to take part in an experiment. Each student watched the same set of videos, which included a comedy, a discussion and a soccer match.科学家们邀请了42名大学生参加一项实验。

每个学生都观看了相同的一组视频，其中包括一部喜剧、一场讨论和一场足球比赛，可知答案，故选C。

（3）细节理解题，根据According to their study, friends who watched the same video clips reacted in similar ways. 根据他们的研究，看过相同视频片段的朋友也会有类似的反应，可
知答案，故选B。

（4）细节理解题，根据Scientists from the University of Leipzig, Germany, found that friendship is also based on how physically close yo are to someone. 德国莱比锡大学（UniversityofLeipzig）的科学家们发现，友谊也是建立在身体上与某人有多亲密的基础上的，和 In this experiment, students who sat in neighbouring seats were more likely to become friends.在这个实验中，坐在相邻座位上的学生更有可能成为朋友，可知坐得近的学生更可能成为朋友，故选D。

（5）主旨大意题，结合文章大意主要讲述的是相似常常有助于建立友谊，希腊哲学家（哲学家）亚里士多德曾经说过，有些人把友谊定义为相似之处。

他们说我们爱那些和我们一样的人。

可知朋友可以有相同的想法，故选B。

8．阅读理解
Is stress from work or school making you sick? If so, you may belong to a growing number of people suffering from serious stress. Experts have called the problem the "Black Death of the 21st century." The original Black Death is estimated （据估计） to have killed 25 million people in Europe in the 14th century. While no one expects stress to be quite that deadly, it is still a serious matter.
A recent study has shown that stress can affect our ability to go to work. Stress is now the number one reason workers stay home sick four continuous （不间断） weeks or more.
What has led to the growing stress felt in the workplace? The bad economic situation is a major reason. Record numbers of layoffs （裁员）have increased workers' worry about losing their jobs. Layoffs have also increased the amount of work workers are expected to do. People then work longer hours, which often creates problems for them at home, causing even more stress.
According to Professor Cary Cooper, writer of over 120 books, stress often leads to changes in manner of acting. You may notice that you're having a hard time centering around things. You may find yourself losing your temper （脾气）easily. You might even seem to have lost your sense of humor. Other stress-related problems include difficulty in sleeping, overeating or drinking in excess.
Stress must be managed by workers themselves and by the company. Workers can take steps to manage stress. They can create a suitable plan and have breaks from time to time. Bosses can help by showing workers that their opinions may be important. They can also allow workers to have some say in decisions that matter their jobs.
Everyone should work together to look for ways to cope with on-the-job stress.
（1）What does the article point out about the "Black Death" today?
A. A kind of serious disease.
B. A bad social situation especially in your work place.
C. A relationship between you and your boss.
D. A lonely feeling about how you make a living.
（2）According to the passage, if you have been home sick more than usual, that means ______.
A. you have failed to manage your work
B. something goes wrong with your body or mind
C. stress may be the main cause
D. you are expected to stay at home to improve your ability for work
（3）How do you notice that you have had the problem of stress?
A. You may spend time with friends and loved ones.
B. You are worrying about losing your job.
C. Your boss gives you a chance to express something valuable.
D. You are impatient with others.
（4）Among all of the following words, which of the two will you choose to describe paragraph 3
and paragraph 4?
① Ways ② Signs③ Causes④ Habits ⑤ Reviews
A. ⑤&②
B. ③&②
C. ⑤&④
D. ③&①
【答案】（1）B
（2）C
（3）D
