Passage 1
Betty and Harold have been married for years. But one thing still puzzles old Harold. How is it that he can leave Betty and her friend Joan sitting on the sofa, talking, go out to a ballgame, come back three and a half hours later, and they're still sitting on the sofa, talking?
What in the world, Harold wonders, do they have to talk about?
Betty shrugs. Talk? We're friends.
Researching this matter called friendship, psychologist Lillian
Rubin spent two years interviewing more than two hundred women and men. No matter what their age, their job, their sex, the results were completely clear. Women have more friendships than men, and the difference in the content and the quality of those friendships is "marked and unmistakable".
More than two-thirds of the single men Rubin interviewed could not
name a best friend. Those who could were likely to name a woman. Yet
three-quarters of the single women had no problem naming a best
friend, and almost always it was a woman. More married men than women named their wife/husband as a best friend, most trusted person, or
the one they would turn to in time of emotional distress（情感危机）. "Most women," says Rubin, "identified at least one, usually more,
trusted friends to whom they could turn in a troubled moment, and
they spoke openly about the importance of these relationships in
their lives".
"In general," writes Rubin in her new book, "women's friendships
with each other rest on shared emotions and support, but men's relationships are marked by shared activities." For the most part,
Rubin says , interactions (交往) between men are emotionally
controlled-a good fit with the social requirements of "manly
behavior".
"Even when a man is said to be a best friend," Rubin writes, "the
two share little about their innermost feelings. Whereas a woman's
closest female friend might be the first to tell her to leave a
failing marriage, it wasn't unusual to hear a man say he didn't know
his friend's marriage was in serious trouble until he appeared one
night asking if he could sleep on the sofa."
6.What old Harold cannot understand or explain is the fact that __B__.
A. he is treated as an outsider rather than a husband
B. women have so much to share
C. women show little interest in ballgames
D. his wife is difficult to talk to

more likely to turn to__B__.
A. a male friend
B. a female friend
C. her parents
D. her husband
8.According to the text, which type of behavior is NOT expected of a
man by society? ( C )
A. Ending his marriage without good reason.
B. Spending too much time with his friends.
C. Complaining about his marriage trouble.
D. Going out to ballgames too often.

A. Men keep their innermost feeling to themselves.
B. Women are more serious than men about marriage.
C. Men often take sudden action to end their marriage.
D. Women depend on others in making decisions.

There is no doubt that man is a member of the animal kingdom. Anyone who has thought about this fact seriously must have wondered how it has come about that man has achieved a position so supreme（最
高的） among the myriad kinds of animal life. Two characteristics of man, in comparison with all other animals, that stand out above all others are the creation and use of tools and the development and use
of language. Since no other animals have achieved these abilities, it must be assumed that man's evolutionary development led to his
capacity to create and use tools and to devise and use language.
Once these abilities and practices evolved, they probably became driving forces in the further evolution of man. Those members of the species who become most proficient(精通的) in the fabrication of
tools and in the command of language and thought would tend to
survive and maintain their kind for good, at the expense of those of lesser ability.
11.Which of the following statements best expresses the main idea of the passage? ( A )
A. Tools and language are either the effects or the causes of human evolution.
B. No other animals have achieved human abilities.
C. Among the animals, only man is able to use tools and language.
D. Man owns his capacity to making use of tools and language.
12."Animal kingdom" in the passage refers to __C___ .
A. the place where all animals live
B. the animal society
C. all kinds of animals, including man
D. the forest with animals
13.One important condition for man's evolution is __D___
A. the animal kingdom
B. a supreme position
C. the myriad kinds
D. his natural capacity
14.The phrase "come about" in the passage is likely to mean ___A____.
A. happened

About Television
Television has both advantages and disadvantages to us. On the one hand, it can make us informed of daily news, let us know the outside world, provide lessons for the learners, and can even bring joy to our lives as well.
On the other hand, some television programs have been extremely harmful to the young. A case in point is the movies with violent scenes. Watching TV too long can do harm to our body and it's a great distraction for us to work.
So young people should learn to get ride of the bad influences of TV and learn to make use of the advantages that TV can bring us.。
