Life is filled with challenges. As we get older we come to realize that those challenges are the very things that 11 us and make us who we are. It is the same with the challenges that come with 12 .When we are faced with a challenge, we usually have two 13 . We can try to beat it off, or we can decide that the thing presenting the challenge isn't worth the trouble and call it quits. Although there are certainly 14 when calling it quits is the right thing to do, in most cases all that is needed is commitment and communication.When we are committed to something, it means that no matter how 15 or how uncomfortable something is, we will always choose to face it and work it through instead of running away from it. Communication is making a space for discussion and talking about how you feel instead of just saying what the other person did wrong. 16 you can say to a friend, “I got my feeling hurt,” rather than “You hurt my feelings,” you are going to be able to solve the problem much faster.In dealing with the many challenges that friendship will bring to you, try to see them for 17 they are: small hurdles(障碍) you need to jump or 18 on your way through life. Nothing is so big that it is 19 to get over, and hurt only serves to make us stronger. It is all part of growing up, it happens to everyone, and some day you will 20 all of this and say, “Hard as it was, it made me who I am today. And that is a good thing.”11.

AThe other day I heard a few local musicians talking:“I hate all the pianos in this town and I hate that rubbish they play on the radio. They cannot even understand rhythm（韵律).”“Nobody wants to pay musicians anything. I’m sick of all the people who want you to play without paying you.”One younger musician said, “There are several clubs who want me to play for a few nights a month and I’m trying to find other places to play. I’m also planning to join in several summer festivals this year.”I really liked what the younger musician said so I made friends with him.Attitudes(态度) are important. Whether they’re positive or negative(消极), they’re all rubbing off on you. If you’re around people who are always complaining or blaming others, it is possible that you will start doing the same as well. If you spend lots of time with people who don’t support your dreams, it is time to take a look at the people you call “friends”.There is an easy exercise you can try. Make a list of the people who you often stay with, and simply stop spending time with the negative ones on your list. Set a new standard（标准）for yourself and don’t become friends with people who fall below that standard.Of course, this exercise is entirely different from making friends only for the good of oneself. We really should try to help and spend time with those who are working towards a goal or dream.21.The musicians’ conversation at the beginning is there to show that_______________.A. musicians' living conditions are not goodB. people in that town have poor taste in musicC. young people are more likely to succeedD. different musicians have different attitudes22.The underlined part “they’re all rubbing off on you” in Para. 6 means____________.A. they’ll have an influence on youB. they’ll help you realize your dreamsC. they’ll keep you from moving onD. they’ll push you ahead very hard23.Why did the author want to make friends with the younger musician?A. He is more active than the others.B. He can earn more than the others.C. His attitude is more positive than the others.D. He has more things to do than the others.24.We can get the following information from the passage EXCEPT______________.A. the younger musician is a positive person and would be a good friendB. one should avoid making friends with people having lots of difficultiesC. the exercise can help you keep close to really helpful friendsD. one will start complaining if one spends too much time with negative peopleBMany children first learn the value of money by receiving an allowance. Parents often give their children an amount of money that they may spend as they wish. The purpose is to let the children learn from experience at an early age when financial mistakes are not very costly.A child may receive an allowance each week or each month. The amount is not so important. But parents should make clear what the child is expected to pay for with the money.At first, young children may spend all of their allowance soon after they receive it. If they do this,they will learn the hard way that spending must be done within a budget. Parents should not offer more money until the next allowance is to be given.Older children may be responsible enough to budget larger costs like those for clothing. The object is to show young people that a budget demands choices between spending and saving.Many people who have written on the subject say it is not a good idea to pay your child for work around the home. These jobs are a normal part of family life. Paying children to do extra work around the home, however, can be useful. It can even provide an understanding of how a business works.Allowances give children a chance to experience three things they can do with money. They can share it in the form of gifts or giving it to organizations. They can spend it by buying things they want. Or they can save it.Saving helps children understand that costly goals require sacrifice: you have to cut costs and plan for the future. Requiring children to save part of their allowance can also open the door to future saving and investing. Many banks offer free savings accounts for young people with small amounts of money.25. The functions of allowances given to children are the following EXCEPT _____________.A. they can save more money for their future businessB. they can give them to charitiesC. they may spend them on what they likeD. they can learn to deal with money26. The underlined word "sacrifice" in the last paragraph means “__________”.A. 牺牲B. 计划C. 选择D. 放弃27. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. Children are advised to buy anything they wish to with the allowance.B. It is unnecessary for the children to save part of the allowance.C. It can be useful to pay children to do extra work around the home.D. Parents should offer children more money if they spend all of their allowance soon after they getit.CIt is well known that the United States’ population come from all over the world. The immigrants (移民) can learn the language, English, to keep this country united, but it is unnecessary to change their culture for an American way of life.I believe that recent immigrants should learn English in order to live in the country. They should learn the“public language ”. If they don’t learn English, they won’t be able to communicate and do what they want. For example, my mother’s friend came to the United States from Ecuador three years ago. She doesn’t speak English. One day, her daughter, Anita, couldn’t breathe. Anita didn't know what was going on, but she told her mother to call an ambulance(救护车). When her mother called the hospital, she couldn’t communicate. The operator(接线员) couldn’t understand what Anita’s mother was saying. Fortunately, her mother’s sister arrived and called the ambulance. The doctor told her sister that if she hadn’t arrived at the hospital on time, Anita could have died. A pill had gotten stuck in her throat.Immigrants should learn English to speak with the public, but they can also keep their language at home. The children of immigrants should learn how to speak their parents’ language. It is very important to communicate with our relatives and family. If we learn English only and forget our private “language”, we won’t be able to communicate with our parents. For example, Florence, my co-worker, speaks English only. Her mother didn’t teach her Spanish (her mother’s mother language). Now, Florence can’t communicate with her grandparents or other relatives in Puerto Rico. She has lost her mother's mother language, tradition and culture.Immigrants have the freedom to keep their culture and values. Immigrants should know where they come from and what their family’s culture is. In this way, they can transmit it to future generations.In conclusion, immigrants should learn English in order to communicate with the public and to keep the country united, but they shouldn't give up their own culture.28. Who played the most important part in calling an ambulance for Anita?A. Anita’s aunt.B. Anita’s mother.C. The operator.D. The doctor.29.If immigrants in the United States can’t speak their parents’ language, what trouble might theyhave?A. They can’t ask for help when they get lost in the United States.B. They can’t call police for help when they are in trouble in the United States.C. They can’t make themselves understood while in their original country.D. They can’t go shopping by themselves conveniently in the United States.30.The author develops the passage mainly by _______________________.A. following the natural time orderB. providing typical examplesC. comparing opinions from different peopleD. presenting a cause and analyzing its effects31.By writing the passage, the author mainly wants to ____________________.A. show that the United States is a multi-cultural countryB. advise immigrants to learn English and keep their own cultureC. explain why so many people move to the United StatesD. describe the difficulties immigrants meet in a new countryDWould you eat a ready meal from the fridge rather than cook by yourself ? Have you been doing Internet shoppin g rather than going to the stores? What can’t you be bothered to do?A study into how lazy British people are has found more than half of the adults are so idle (懒散的) that they’d catch the lift rather than climb two flights of stairs.Just over 2,000 people were quizzed(调查) by independent researchers at Nuffield Health, Britain’s largest health center. The results were extremely surprising.About one in six people questioned said if their remote control was broken, they would continue watching the same channel rather than get up.More than one third of those questioned said they would not run to catch a bus. Worryingly, of the 654 respondents with children, 64% said they were often too tired to play with them.This led the report to conclude that it’s no wonder that one in six children in the UK are classified as obese (very fat) before they start school.Dr Sarah Dauncey, medical director of Nuff ield Health, said, “People need to get fitter, not just for their own sake, but for the sake of their families, friends and evidently (明显地；显然) their pets too.”“If we don’t start to take control of this problem, a whole generation will become too unfit to perform even the most fundamental tasks.”And Scotland’s largest city, Glasgow, was shamed as the most idle city in the UK, with 75% questioned admitting they do not get enough exercise, followed closely by Birmingham and Southampton, both with 67%.The results bring serious challenges for the National Health Service, where obesity-related illnesses such as heart disease and cancer have been on a steady increase for the past 40 years and are costing billions of pounds every year.32.How many people questioned don’t play with their children?A. 1280.B. More than 333.C. 654.D. About 420.33.The study leads us to believe that _____________.A. the pets in the UK will be in trouble if their owners keep their way of lifeB. Gla sgow people feel ashamed because they don’t get enough exerciseC. British people are the laziest around the worldD. five sixths of the British children are healthy34.How does the author convince(使......信服) the readers?A. By presenting the results of a study.B. By providing answers to questions.C. By interviewing some experts.D. By telling a story.35.What is the passage mainly about?A. A study of British people’s laziness.B. A study of British people’s lifestyles.C. The health service in the UK.D. The obesity problem in the UK.第二节请先阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后根据短文内容从下面方框内的七个选项中，选择五个还原到文中，使短文意思通顺、结构完整。
