A 字数：299完成时间：6分钟难度：★★ Too many people want others to be their friends, but they don��t give friendship back. That is why some friendships don��t last very long. To have a friend, you must learn to treat your friend the way you want your friend to treat you. Learning to be a good friend means learning three rules: be honest; be generous; be understanding. Honesty is where a good friendship starts. Friends must be able to trust one another. If you don’t tell the truth, people usually find out. If a friend finds out that you haven��t been honest, you may lose your friend’s trust. Good friends always count on one another to speak and act honestly. Generosity(大度) means sharing and sharing makes a friendship grow. You don’t have to give your lunch money or your clothes, of course. Instead
you have to learn how to share things you enjoy, like your hobbies and your interests. Naturally you will want to share your ideas and feelings. These can be very valuable to a friend. They tell your friend what is important to you. By sharing them you help your friend know you better. Sooner or later everyone needs understanding and help with a problem. Something may go wrong at school. Talking about the problem can make it easier to solve（解决). Turning to a friend can be a first step in solving the problem. So to be a friend you must listen and understand. You must try to put yourself in your friend’s place so you can understand the problem better. No two friendships are ever exactly alike. But all true friendships have three things in common. If you plan to keep your friendships, you must practise honesty, generosity and understanding. 1. Some friendships don’t last very long because______. A. there are too many people who want to make friends B. they don’t know friendship is something serious C. those who give others friendships receive friendships from others D. those who never give others friendships receive no friendship from others 2. According to the passage honesty is______ . A. as important as money B. more important than anything else C. something countable D. the base of a friendship 3. Which of the following is NOT true in the passage? A. A friend who gives you his lunch money is a true friend. B. Always tell your friend the truth.
C. Discussing your problems with your friend often helps to solve the problem.
D. Sharing your mind with your friend is of great value. 4. According to the author, how do you help your friend know you better? A. Ask your friend for everything. B. Don’t tell the truth to your friend. C. Share your ideas and feelings with your friend. D. Give your lunch money or your clothes to your friend. 5. The BEST title of this passage
is“______”. A. A Friend in Need Is a Friend Indeed B. Honesty Is the Best Habit C. How to Be a Friend D. Three Important Points in Life B 字数：364完成时间：7分钟难度：★★★ In the United States, friendship can be close, constant, intense, generous, and real, yet it can fade away in a short time if circumstances(环境) change. Neither side feels hurt by this. Both may exchange Christmas greetings for a year or two, perhaps a few letters for a while, then no more. If the same two people meet again by chance, even years later, they pick up the friendship where it left out and are delighted. In the United States, you can feel free to visit people’s homes, share their holidays, enjoy their lives without fear that you are taking on a lasting obligation（负担）. Do not hesitate to accept hospitality(款待) because you can’t give it in return. No one will expect you to do so for they know you are far from home. Americans will enjoy welcoming you and be pleased if you accept their hospitality easily. Once you arrive there, the welcome will be full, warm and real. Most visitors find themselves readily incited into many homes there. In some countries it is considered inhospitable to entertain at home, offering what is felt as “merely” home cooked food, not “doing something” for your guest. It is felt that restaurant entertaining shows more respect and welcome. Or for various other reasons, such as crowded space, language difficulties, or family custom, outsiders are not invited into homes. In the United States both methods are used, but it is often considered more friendly to invite a person to one’s home than to go to a public place, except in purely business relationships. So, if your host or hostess brings you home, do not feel that you are being shown inferior(低级别的) treatment. Don’t feel neglected if you do not find flowers awaiting you in your hotel room either. Flowers
are very expensive there, hotel delivery is uncertain, arrival times are delayed, changed, or canceled-so flowers are not customarily sent as a welcoming touch. Please do not feel unwanted! Outward signs vary in different lands; the inward welcome is what matters, and this will be real. 6. In the United States, you will find friendship______ if circumstances change.
A. dies suddenly
B. comes back
C. disappears gradually
D. lasts forever 7. Americans______ their foreign friends to make a return for their hospitality. A. ask B. require C. never allow D. don’t expect 8. In the Uni ted States, giving a dinner party at home is considered______ than in a restaurant. A. less friendly B. less hospitable C. more friendly D. more popular 9. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true in the United States? A. Flowers are not customarily sent as a welcoming touch. B. Flowers are expensive. C. Flowers are sometimes signs of outward welcome. D. Flowers must be sent to guests. 10. Which of the following is the BEST title for this passage? A. Americans’Hospitality B. Americans’Fr iendship C. Americans’Invitation D. Americans’Welcome Ⅲ. 短文填词（2010•龙岩市二次质检）阅读下面短文，根据以下提示：1）汉语

Ⅱ. 阅读理解阅读下面短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中选出最佳选项。

A 字数：256完成时间：6分钟难度：★ The United States is mainly an English-speaking country. The great number of population(人口) speaks English as their native language. Business, education and most publish aspects(方面) of life are conducted in English. Across the country, people pronounce English sounds in several different ways and some regional(地区) differences in word spelling exist, but for the most part, Americans speak one common language. This language is sometimes called American English. However, not everyone in the US is a native speaker of English. Most of the persons coming into the country are speakers of other languages. There are hundreds of communities around the US where English is not the most commonly used language. Chinese, Italian, German, American, Greek, Vietnamese and French are all spoken in a great number of communities in the United States. Spanish is the second most commonly spoken language after English in the US. It is widely spoken in New York and across the southern part of the country. For speakers of other languages, learning English is important, but traditionally(传统上), teaching people to speak English as a second language was given little attention. Non-English speakers were expected to “pick up” the language through getting in touch with people in public. Recently, this has changed. Today, most large public schools and community colleges have ESL, English as a Second Language, programs. American English teachers feel that English students should learn the language the way they will be using it. Therefore, ESL programs teach different English lessons to different
students. Some programs teach students to communicate in English in public. 1. What language or languages do people in the United States speak? A. English B. American English C. English and Spanish D. English and lots of other languages 2. ESL stands for_____ . A. English as a Special Language B. English as a Spoken Language C. English and Spanish Languages D. English as a Second Language 3. Where is Spanish spoken in the United States? A. In most part of New York and the southern states. B. In New York and all the southern states. C. In New York and across the southern part of the country. D. In New York and many southern states. 4. “Non-English speakers were expected to ‘pick up’ the language through listening to and ta lking with people in public.” Here “pick up” means
“_____”. A. master(without difficulty) B. do one’s best to study C. learn(without taking lessons) D. know only a little about 5. “American English teachers feel that English students should learn the langu age the way they will be using it.” By “English students” we mean______ . A. the students who are English B. the students who know nothing about English C. the students who wish to learn English D. the students who come to the US from some other countries B 字数：325完成时间：8分钟难度：★★ If English means endless new words, difficult grammar and sometimes strange pronunciation, you are wrong. Haven’t you noticed that you have become smarter since you started to learn a language? According to a new study by a British university, learning a second language can lead to an increase in your brain power. Researchers found that learning other languages changes grey matter. This is the area of the brain which processes information. It is similar to the way that exercise builds muscles. The study also found the effect is greater, the younger people learn a second language. A team led
by Dr Andrea Mechelli, from University College London, took a group of Britons who only spoke English. They were compared with a group of “early bilinguals” who had learnt a second language before the age of five, as well as a number of later learners. Scans showed that grey matter density(密度) in the brain was greater in bilinguals than in people without a second language. But the longer a person waited before mastering a new language, the smaller the difference. “Our findings suggest that the structure of the brain is changed by the experience of learning a second language,” said the scientists. It means that the change itself increases the ability to learn. Professor Dylan Vaughan Jones of the University of Wales, has researched the link between bilingualism and maths skills. “Having two languages gives you two windows on the world and makes the brain more flexible(灵活的),”he said. “You are actually goi ng beyond language and have a better understanding of different ideas.” The findings were matched in a study of native Italian speakers who had learned English as a second language between the ages of 2 and 34.Reading, writing, and comprehension were all tested. The results showed that the younger they started to learn, the better. “Studying a language means you get an entrance to another world,” explained the scientists. 6. The main subject talked about in this passage is_____ . A. science on learning a se cond language B. man’s ability of learning a second language C. language can help brain power D. language learning and maths study 7. In the second paragraph, the writer mentions “exercise” in order to_____. A. say language is also a kind of physical labor B. prove that one needs more practice when he (she) is learning a language C. show the importance of using the language when you learn the language D. make people believe language learning helps grey matter work well 8. The
underlined word “bilingual” pro bably means_____. A. a researcher on language learning B. a second language learner C. a person who can speak two languages D. an active language learner 9. We may know from the scientific findings that_____ .
A. the earlier you start to learn a second language the higher the grey matter density is
B. there is no difference between a later second language learner and one who doesn’t know a second language
C. the experience of learning a second language has bad effect on people’s brain
D. the ability of lear ning a second language is changing all the time 10. In the last two paragraphs, the author wants to tell us that_____. A. learning a second language is the same as studying maths B. early learning of a second language helps you a great deal in study other subjects C. Italian is the best choice for you as a second language D. you’d better choose the ages between 2 and 34 to learn a second language Ⅲ. 短文填词(2010•厦门双十中学热身试卷) 阅读下列短文，根据以下提示：1）汉语提示，2）首字母提示，3）语境提示，在每个空格内填入一个适当的英语单词，并将该词完整地写在右边相对应的横线上。
