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 means sharing and sharing makes a friendship grow. You don’t have to give your lunch money or your clothes, or enjoy, like our 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 . 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 practice honesty. Generosity and understanding.
39. According to the passage , honesty is .
A. the base of a friendship
B. more important than anything else
C. something countable
D. as important as money
40. Which of the following is NOT true in the passage?
A. Always tell your friend the truth.
B. A friend who gives you his lunch money is a true friend.
C. Discussing your problems with your friend often helps to solve the problem.
D. Sharing your mind with your friend is of great value.
41. 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.
42. The best title of this passage is .
A. A Friend in Need Is a Friend Indeed
B. Honesty Is the Best Habit
C. Three Important Points in Life
D. How to Be a Friend

Do you like shopping? Or does the thought of wandering round the shops fill you with terror（恐惧）? For some of us, shopping is an enjoyable way of spending our spare time and our money. For me, it’s something I would rather avoid. Thank goodness for the Internet! It’s more convenient to buy CDs, electrical items, even food, from the comfort of you r sofa. But that’s not the only reason：price is an important factor. We can buy goods and services cheaper online. But sometimes the problem is knowing what to buy. This has led to a type of shopping called ＂showrooming＂. Showrooming is something I’ve done. I will go to a shop to see, touch and try out products but then go home and buy them online at a knock-down price. I’m not alone in doing this. Research by a company called Foolproof, found 24% of people showroomed while Christmas shopping in 2013.
Amy Cashman, head of Technology at TNS UK, says the reasons for this new shopping habit are that＂people are lacking time, lacking money and they want security about the products they are buying＂. She explains that consumers（消费者） are not only shopping online at home but they are using the Internet in store or on their smartphones to shop around.
But does this mean technology will kill shops? Certainly shops will change. They will have to offer more competitive prices or encourage people to buy more by giving in-store discounts or free gifts.
We mustn’t forget that buying in a shop means you can get expert advice from the sales assistant and you can get good aftercare. It’s good to speak to a real human rather than look at a faceless computer screen but at least by showrooming, you get the best of both worlds!
43. The two questions in Paragraph l are raised to .
A. give two examples
B. introduce the topic
C. compare different opinions
D. get answers from readers
44. What does showrooming mean in the text?
A. Trying in shops and buying online.
B. Showing products in a room.
C. Buying something in a store.
D. Shopping on the Internet.
45. What can be inferred from Paragraph 4 ?
A．Online shops will disappear． B．Free gifts will surely promote sales．C．Shops need necessary changes． D．Shops will be replaced by online shops．
46. The author’s attitude towards showrooming is .
A. critical
B. neutral
C. casual
D. supportive
D
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（处理） information. It is similar to the way that exercise builds muscles（肌肉）.
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 w ho 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 going 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.
47. The main subject talked about in this passage is ________.
A. science on learning a second language
B. language can help brain power
C. man's ability of learning a second language
D. language learning and maths study
48. 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. make people believe language learning helps grey matter work well
D. show the importance of using the language when you learn the language
49. We may know from the scientific findings that ________.
A. there is no difference between a later second language learner and one who
doesn't know a second language
B. the earlier you start to learn a second language the higher the grey matter
density is
C. the experience of learning a second language has bad effect on people's brain
D. the ability of learning a second language is changing all the time
50. In the last two paragraphs, the author wants to tell us that________.
A. early learning of a second language helps you a great deal in study other
subjects
B. learning a second language is the same as studying maths
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 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5 分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

Wechat_has_become_part_of_our_life. Because it is very convenient for people to express their feelings instantly at any time. Besides, it provides a chance for people to release their inner stress. By showing their heartfelt emotions on the wechat, their friends may also know about their condition and can offer timely response. However, wechat can also be potentially dangerous as it may give away people's privacy and other significant information.
All in all, wechat provides us with some concerns as well as emotional comfort and large quantities of information, so we should be careful while using it.。
