9、intedBToo many people want others to be their friends, but they dont give friendship back. That is why some friendships do not last very long. To have a friend, you must learn to be one. You must learn to treat your friend the way you want your friend treat you. Learning to be a good friend means le

10、arning 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 do not tell the truth, people usually find out. If a friend finds out that you havent been honest you may lose your friends trust. Good friends al

11、ways count on one another to speak and act honestly.Generosity means sharing and sharing makes a friendship grow. You do not have to give your lunch money on your clothes of course. Instead you have to learn how to share things you enjoy, like your hobbies and your interest. Naturally you will want

12、to share your ideas and feelings. These can be very valuable to a friendThey tell your friend what is important to you. By sharing them you help your friend know you better.Sooner or later every one needs understanding and help with a problem. Something may go wrong at school. Talking about the prob

13、lem 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 understandYou must try to put yourself in your friends place so you can understand the problem better. No two friendships are ever exactly alike. But all true friend

14、ships have three things in common. If you plan to keep your friends, you must practise honesty, generosity, and understanding. 5Some friendships dont last very long because _.Athere are too many people who want to make friends.Bthose who never give others friendships receive no friendship from other

15、s.Cthose who give others friendship receive friendship from others.Dthey dont know friendship is something serious.6According to the passage honesty is _.Asomething good Bthe base of friendshipCas important as money Dmore important than anything else7The underlined word “generosity” means _.A慷慨 B节约

BSharing your mind with your friend is of great value.CDiscussing your problems with your friend often helps to solve the problem.DA friend who gives you his lunch money is a true friendCSheep Smart

17、er than ThoughtLondonSheep, like turkeys and ostriches, are not considered the most clever animals. British scientists said last Wednesday humans may have underestimated the woolly creature. They could be much smarter than we think.Researchers at the Babraham Institute in Cambridge, southern England

18、, have shown that the animals have a good memory system and are extremely good at recognizing faceswhich they think is a sure sign of intelligence.Behavioral scientist Keith Kendrick and his friends trained 20 sheep to recognize and distinguish 25 pairs of sheep faces and used electrodes （电极） to mea

19、sure their brain activity , which showed they could remember 50 faces for up to two years .“If they can do that with faces, they have to have reasonable intelligence; otherwise, what is the point of having a system for remembering faces and not remembering anything else?” Kendrick said in an intervi

20、ew.So hours of seemingly mindless eating grass may not be so mindless after all.Kendrick believes sheep got their reputation as dumb （unable to speak, unintelligent） animals because they live in large groups and do not appear to have much individuality and are frightened of just about everything. “A

21、ll animals, including humans, once they are frightened, dont tend to show signs of intelligent action,” he explained.In research reported in the science journal Nature, Kendrick and his team showed that sheep, like humans, have a specialized system in the brain which allows them to distinguish betwe

22、en many different faces which look extremely similar.“The most important finding （of the study） is that they are able , both from a behavioral point of view and from looking at the way the brain is organized , to remember a large number of individuals for a very long time,” said Kendrick. “It is a v

23、ery strange system. They are showing similar abilities in many ways to humans.”9From the first paragraph we can find that_. .Apeople used to think sheep are smarter than the other animals Bpeople used to raise sheep in a wrong way Cpeople dont consider sheep as clever animalsDpeople have done a lot

24、of research on sheep 10From what Kendrick said in the interview we learn that_. .Ascientists have learned everything about sheeps intelligence Bscientists have learned a little about sheeps intelligence Cscientists cant do anything more about sheeps memory Dscientists do not have to research animals

25、 memory 11As is known in the passage,_.Asheep are among the week animals Bit is not right for people to raise sheep in groups Cwhen sheep eat grass in the field their minds may be active Dif people feel frightened, they may become braverDFear and its companion pain are two of the most useful things

26、that men and animals possess, if they are properly used. If fire did not hurt when it burnt, children would play with it until their hands were burnt away. Similarly, if pain existed but fear didnt, a child would burn himself or herself again and again, because fear would not warn himself or herself

27、 to keep away from the fire that had burnt himself or herself before. A really fearless soldierand some do exist, is not a good soldier because he is soon killed; and a dead soldier is of no use to his army. Fear and pain are therefore two guards without which men and animals might soon die out. In

28、our first sentence we suggested that fear should be properly used. If, for example, you never go out of your house because of the danger of being knocked down and killed in the street by a car, you are letting fear rule you too much. Even in your house you are not absolutely safe: an aeroplane may c

29、rash on your house, or ants may eat away some of the beams in your roof so that the latter falls on you, or you may get cancer!The important thing is not to let fear rule you, but instead to use fear as your servant and guide. Fear will warn you of dangers; then you have to decide what action to tak

30、e. In many cases, you can take quick and successful action to avoid the danger. For example, you see a car coming straight towards you. Fear warns you, you jump out of the way, and all is well.In some cases, however, you decide that there is nothing that you can do to avoid the danger. For example,

31、you cant prevent an aeroplane crashing onto your house. In this case, fear has given you its warning; you have examined it and decided on your course of action, so fear of this particular danger is no longer of any use to you, and you have to try to overcome it.12Children would play with fire until

32、their hands were burnt away if _.Athey were given no warning beforehand Bthey had never burnt themselvesCthey had no sense of pain Dthey were fearful of the fire13A really fearless soldier _.Ais of great use to the army Bis not a real soldierCis nothing but a dead soldier Deasily gets killed in a ba

33、ttle14People sometimes succeed in timely avoiding the danger because _.Athey have gained experience Bthey jump out of the way in timeCthey are calm in the face of dangerDthey are warned of the danger by fear and take quick action15Whats the writers suggestion when the danger cant be avoided?AYou hav

34、e to try to overcome it BFear can really help you to run away.CFear always helps you stay safe DFear is of great use to you.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10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。选项中有两项为多余选项。（请将16-20题答案涂在答题卡71-75处）Choosing the right job is probably one of the most important decisions we have to make in l

35、ife, and it is frequently one of the hardest decisions we have to make. One important question that you might ask yourself is: “How do I get a good job?”_16_.There are people who can answer an insignificant advertisement in the local paper and land the best job in the world; others write to all sort

36、s of places all over the country, and never seem to get a reply at all. Still others believe that the in-person, door-to-door approach is by far the best way to get a job; and then there are those who, through no active decision of their own, just seem to be in the right place at the right time. _17
