（ A ）
Everyone needs friends. We all like to feel close to someone. It is nice to have a friend to talk, laugh and do things with. Surely, there are times when we need to be alone. We don't always want people around. But we would feel lonely if we never had a friend.
No two people are the same. Sometimes friends don't get along well, which doesn't mean that they no longer like each other. Most of the time they will go on being friends. Sometimes friends move away, then we feel very sad. We miss them much, but we can call them and write to them. Maybe we would never see them again, and we can make new friends. It is surprising to find out how much we like new people when we get to know them. Families sometimes name their children after a close friend. Many places are named after men and women, if they are friendly to people in a town. Some libraries are named this way. So are some schools. We think of these people when we go to these places.
There's more good news for people, if they have friends. These people live longer than those people if those don't have friends. Why? It could be that they are happier. Being happy helps you stay well. Or it could be just knowing that someone cares, if someone cares about you, you take better care of yourself.
41. Which of the following is what the writer doesn't say in the passage?
A. People are happy when their friends leave them.
B. People may never see their friends after their friends move away.
C. People can know their friends in different ways.
D. People like their friends very much if they get to know them.
42. If people have friends, they would live longer, because __________.
A. they feel happier and healthier
B. they get a lot of help from their friends
C. they take better care of themselves
D. both A and C
43. This passage tells us __________.
A. that people are all friends
B. that people need friends
C. how to get to know friends
D. how to name a place
（ B ）
Language is always changing. In a society where life continues year after year with few changes, the language does not change either. The earliest known languages had difficult grammar but a small, limited vocabulary. Over the century, the grammar changed, and the vocabulary grew. For example, the English and Spanish people who came to America during the sixteenth century gave names to all the new plants and animals they found. In this way, hundreds of new words were introduced into English and Spanish vocabularies. Today life is changing very fast, and language is changing fast too.
There are several major(主要) language families in the world. Some scientists say there are nine main families, but other scientists divide them differently. The languages in each family are connected, and scientists think that they came from the same parent language. About 3 percent of the people in the world speak languages that are not in these major families.
44. The early language had ________.
A. a lot of problems
B. words and easy grammar
C. words but no grammar
D. grammar but not many words
45. In the next few hundred years we can expect language to _____.
A. stay exactly the same
B. change a great deal
C. change only a little
D. ask more words and drop some grammar
46. What this article shows is that _____.
A. languages change fast
B. languages really don't want to change
C. language is really with changes in society
D. Spanish and English change

The Great Fire of London started in the very early hours of 2 September 1666．In four days it destroyed more than three-quarters of the old city, where most of the houses were wooden and close together．Over one hundred people became homeless, but only a few lost their lives.
The fire started on Sunday morning in the house of the King’s baker（面包师）in Pudding Lane．The baker, with his wife and family, was able to get out through a window into the roof．A strong wind blew the fire from the bakery（面包房）into a small hotel next door．Then it spread quickly into Thames Street．That was the beginning.
By eig ht o’ clock three hundred houses were on fire．On Monday nearly a kilometer of the city was burning along the River Thames．Tuesday was the worst day．The fire destroyed many well-known buildings, old St Paul’s and the Guildhall were among them.
Samuel Pepys, the famous writer, wrote about the fire, “People threw their things into the river．Many poor people stayed in their houses until the last moment．Birds fell out of the air because of the heat.”
The fire stopped only when the King finally ordered people to destroy hundreds of buildings in the path of the fire．With nothing left to burn, the fire became weak and finally died out.
After the fire, Christopher Wren, the architect(建筑师), wanted a city with wider streets and fine new houses of stone．In fact, the streets are still narrow, but he did build more than fifty churches, among them was the n ew St Paul’s Cathedral.
The fire caused great pain and loss, but after it London was a better place: a city for the future and not just of the past.
47．The fire began in .
A．a hotel B．the palace C．Pudding Lane D．Thames Street
48．The underlined word‘family’in the second paragraph means .
A．home B．children C．wife and husband D．wife and children 49．It seems that the writer of the text was most sorry for the fact that .
A．some people lost their lives
B．the birds in the sky were killed by the fire
C．many famous buildings were destroyed
D．the King’s bakery was burned down
50．Why did the writer cite(引用)Samuel Pepys?
A．Because Pepys was among those putting out the fire.
B．Because Pepys also wrote about the fire.
C．To show that poor people suffered most.
D．To give the reader a clearer picture of the fire.
第二节：（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）
根据短文内容．从下列的A一F选项中选出能概括每一段主题的最佳选项。

选项中有一项为多余项。

A．Leadership
B．Conflict Solving
C．Open Communication
D．Respect to All Team Members
E．Measuring Progress against Goals
F．Common Goals with Challenging Target
Team building means more than throwing a few people together.“Tea m working" is found everywhere within just about every organization．You can’t get away from "teams" that are supposed to be able to create something that is greater than the sum of its parts．Or so the theory goes.
There are live measures that need to be taken before you can get the most out of a team:
51．
There must be a clear reason for the team to exist．And all the members should realize
the value and significance of what they are going to do．What they are hoping to achieve should be something achievable but at the same time tough and inspiring enough to attract the members and keep their motivation（积极性） alive．What is more, they should also be well prepared for the possible difficulties they may come across in the process．
52．______
Team members must be able to express their opinions freely without fear of being criticized and they must have the feeling that their suggestions will be taken seriously．This is an important point because the team may need to resolve some complex or thorny issues．For example, it may discuss a sensitive topic- Should, they keep their conclusion within the team or share it with other employees．This is an issue in itself that all the members should agree on frank discussion is required．
53．______
It is easy to think that a junior team member may have less to contribute than more experienced ones. This is not only demoralizing or discouraging, it also makes no sense—people that have nothing to contribute should not have been selected for the team in the first place．Since they have become members of your team, you need to make sure that each of them has an opportunity to add his or her thoughts to discussions.
54．___
Disagreements are natural and, in fact debate and discussion should be encouraged．A team made up only of "yes men" can make disastrous decisions that few people honestly agreed with ,in the first place．Consequently, there should be rules on how lengthy disagreements should be handled．For example, team meetings may not be the most appropriate place for a discussion that involves only two people, so "under-the-table method may be effective.
55．___
Most high-performing teams are well organized．A good organizer should be able to play to individuals' strengths and help them overcome their weaknesses．It should
be someone who can act as a promoter and a constant reminder of what the team needs to achieve．He must, above all, be skilled in sharing responsibility and setting tasks to others coaching them to achieve tasks, and providing constructive feedback on how the tasks went. Team building isn't as simple as just throwing a few people together．It requires much more, but motivating people is most essential．Successful team working is not marked by how much progress the team makes toward its goals, but by how confidently each of its members completes his or her assigned tasks with a sense of achievement and pride．
