There are many things you can do to keep friendship strong forever.
Trust is very important in keeping any relationship strong and long-lasting.If you trust the person whom you have a good relationship with and the other person also trusts you in the same way，then you two have a good relationship.
You can remember the important date of your friends such as their birthdays and wish them or give gifts to them on these special days.Many people say that money is the most important thing to consider，but remember friendship is not about money.You can find something small and inexpensive for their gifts or send online cards.
A friend should also always help others even when it is not very convenient.So have a helping hand ready at all times.
Sometimes distance makes relationships even closer.So，if you are far from your friends，there are many ways you can remain in contact(联系)．You can use email，chat programs，and you can also write a blog and share your daily life activities with your friends.
If there is anything that makes you happy，share it with your friends.Listen to their thoughts as well.If they have achieved something noticeable，congratulate them and celebrate with them.
I have seen good friendships and when there is unhealthy competition between two friends.Though this may not happen in many cases，it is better to keep this idea in mind since it may happen to you.
As far as I have seen and experienced，it will be better not to either lend money to or borrow money from your good friend.Of course，we have to do this with friends.But，attention should be paid so that your friendship may not end.

Section B
Directions：Read the following passage.Answer the questions according to the information given in the passage.
According to a new study，preschool boys perform better on tests that measure learning and other important skills when they are in classes that have more girls than boys.This doesn't seem to apply to girls，though.For preschool girls，the presence or absence of boys does not affect learning.
“The study raises questions about having all­boy or all­girl classes for preschool，”says psychologist Arlen Moller，who led the study.She added，“Previous researches have shown that high-school girls may study better in all-girl schools.In middle school，however，the effects of same-sex schooling are unclear，and even less is known for very young kids.” To find out，researchers studied 70 preschool classes with a total of 806 children who were between 3.5 and 6 years old.For each class，teachers recorded the students' progress over a 6.5-month school year.
Their data included scores of motor skills，social skills and thinking skills.Researchers found that boys developed each of these skills more quickly when there were more girls in the class than boys.
In majority-girl classrooms，boys developed at the same rate as girls.But in classes where boys were the majority，boys developed more slowly than girls.Girls tended to advance in classrooms which had any combination of boys and girls.
The study is one of the first to look at how the proportion of boys and girls in a class affects learning.Because it's a new finding，researchers don't know why this difference exists.
“This is an exciting topic，but it's too early to draw any conclusion because this area is so under-explored，” says psychologist Lean Malofeeva of the High/Scope Educational Research Foundation in Ypsilanti，Michigan.
51．What is the finding of the researchers led by Arlen Moller？(No more than 15 words) ________________________________________________________________________ 52．According to the research，what effect does a minority-girl class have on boys' study？(No more than 8 words)

参考答案
Part Ⅰ
Section A
1. C it用于help，like，hate，appreciate等词之后，代指一件事。

2. A seek fortune意为“寻求财富”，B、C、D三项均无此义。

3. A句意：“你惹简的话，她会发火。

”tend to do sth.“倾向于/易于干某事”。

4.C本题考查固定搭配。

convince sb. of sth.“使某人相信某事，使某人信服”；the effect on...“对……的影响”。

5. A句意：“这本书很有价值，但只有你深入理解了，才可以欣赏。

”nothing与后面的until构成一个看似否定其实是肯定的表达，“只有……才”。

6. D“can not/never...too”为双重否定结构，此处意为“再感谢你也不过分”。

7. A第一空用it特指上文提到的a copy of the book。

因为书店里有很多本书，所以第二个空用one代替单数名词，是泛指。

8. C本题为词义辨析题，重在考查在语境中辨析词义，此处的意思是“你怎么要价？”。

pay是指别人要给说话人钱。

offer是主动提供，不符合题义。

afford是指付得起。

本题的解题关键是看所填空格的动作发出者是you，而不是I。

9. C have sb.do...“让某人做某事”。

10. D compared with和in comparison with都可以表示“与……相比”；第二个空应该用过去分词作定语表示“被提供”。

11.A confusing“令人迷惑的”；confused“感到困惑的”。

12. A who引导定语从句，且在定语从句中作宾语。

13. C“______ the gold ring”是make sure的宾语从句，应用陈述语序，排除B、D两项；用现在完成时态表示对现在的影响。

14. B考查交际用语。

上句邀请对方，但下句由I have another one that day.可以看出那天不能去，此处答语应该是委婉回绝，what a pity符合语境。

其他均不合句意，故选B项。

15. B句意：“虽然汤姆锻炼得不多，但他身材很好。

”
Section B
16．D“没有”选择自己的孩子(作继任者)，他决定做一些与众不同的事情。

instead of “代替；而不是”。

17．C由后文的“I want you to plant the seed”可知答案。

18．A句意：“我想让你们种下种子，给它浇水，一年之后带回来给我看。

”
19．D句意：“我会评判你们种出来的植物，并且选一个人作为下一任总裁。

”
20．A带着可能成为总裁的希望，吉姆“兴奋地”回到家里。

21．C吉姆每天都给种子浇水，“看看”它长出来了没有。

22．D句意：“时光飞逝，到了把植物带回去给老板评判的时候了。

”

24．B其他主管带回去的植物都很“漂亮”。

25．A老总裁“扫视了”一下房间。

26．B吉姆的种子什么也没长出来，所以罐子是“空的”。

27．C老总裁向年轻的主管们“宣布”下一任总裁是谁。

34．that that 与上文的it was构成强调句型。

35．quantities in large quantities “大量的”。

Part Ⅱ
36．C根据第一段中的前两句，可以看出青少年认为朋友比父母更能理解他们。

A项只发生在大家庭内，B、D两项为主观臆测，未提及，答案选C项。

37．D由第二段第二句话可推知答案。

38．D stop sb.from doing sth.意为“阻止某人做某事”。

该句的意思为“父母可能甚至会阻止他们去会见好朋友”。

选项D不符合此意。

39．C第三段讲述了某些家长对孩子交朋友的事进行干涉，言外之意是作者不同意这么做，而应该理解孩子的做法。

Section C
书面表达
Tom is a primary school student and he enjoys drawing very much.One day，he went to the small woods not far from town to draw from nature，taking along with a drawing board.When he got there，he found that only one tree remained.“It's better than nothing，”he comforted himself.So he began to put up his board in order to draw it quickly.At this time，a young man carrying an axe on his shoulder walked towards the tree and got down to cutting it.In no time he cut it down and pulled it away.
When Tom got ready and turned back to draw，he found the only tree was missing.“Dear me! Where on earth is the tree？”Tom wondered，puzzled and disappointed.
What Tom saw is a reminder to all of us that we human beings are destroying the earth without taking our responsibilities into consideration.As far as I'm concerned，measures should be taken to protect the environment，or nobody could survive in the near future.。
