Then students assemble in their homeroom classes for the days studies. Each homeroom has an average of 4045 students. Stu

36、dents stay in their homeroom classrooms for most of the school day.

42、Boys need friends, suffer when they dont believe they have any, and worry over the ups and downs of relationships. Many adults believe that somehow boys need friends less than girls do, in truth, though, no boy is an island; boys value their friends throughout childhood and adolescence and are happi

43、er and healthier when they have solid relationships with peers(同龄人)Despite the common belief that girls are better at relationships, most boys consider their friends a very important part of their lives, and boys may actually be better at keeping friendships than girls are. A recent study of 10 to 1

44、5yearold boys and girls found that girls friendships are actually more fragile. Girls tend to say and do hurtful things to each other more frequently than boys, and girls are more hurt by the end of a friendship.Boys are the living definition of the phrase “peer group”； they love games with rules, c

45、ompetition, and doing things together. Boys seem to enjoy, even need the opportunity to test themselves against others, and many lasting friendships begin in karate(空手道) class or on the basketball court. Competence and skill are widely respected; being picked last for a team or left out altogether i

46、s an experience that can haunt(萦绕心头) a boy for years.As boys mature, the friendship becomes even more important, and it frequently widens to include girls. During the teen years, friends can become the most important part of a boys lifeand a part in which his parents are not included. The confusion

47、of being a teenager leads boys to form close bonds with friends. There is the sense for many boys that a friend is someone who is “always there for me”， someone he can trust. They may be partners in crime or partners in study, but the friendship of adolescent boys can run surprisingly deep.68The com

73、music.答案详解完形填空36.A因为他仅仅是一粒渺小的种子，没有人注意到他。此处only仅仅；righ刚好；such如此；rather非常。故选A项。37. D感到很自卑，这粒种子认为自己的存在没有什么重要的。故选D项。38C见上题解析。此处existence存在，surroundings 环境。故选C项。39B此处然后有一天风把他吹到了一片田野里，故选B项。40A此处in the hot sun，在炙热的阳光下。故选A项。41B此处他想知道这是为什么，但是没有得到任何回答。idea 主意，answer 回答，excuse 借口 理由，hope 希望。故选B项。42C此处根据后文water

74、可知选rain。Fertilizer 肥料。故选C项。43A此处通过后文的need a rest可知选用sitting。故选A项。44D谢谢上帝给了树荫，我确实需要休息。此处probably 很可能地；possibly 可能的；certainly 当然。故选D项。45. B此处通过上文可知这是traveler说的话。46C你在说什么？故选C项what。47B种子原以为他是在嘲笑他。的确如此，他见过很多人在他身边休息。Sure 确实如此；instead 相反；soon很快；also也，又。故选B项。A但是没有一个人跟他这样说话。此处通过上文种子和旅行者之间的对话可 知，故选A项spoke。tre

75、at对待；act表演；nod 点头。D他自己在大树旁边休息但有说话声，因此感到很惊讶，问“是谁？”故此 处选D项surprised。happy幸福的；annoyed恼怒的；excited兴奋的。50C上文有“Who is this”的提问，故此处应选其答语“Its me.”51D男人盯着大树看，不解道“一粒种子？” reply to回复；turn to求 助于 ；ask for 要；stare at 盯着看。C你在开玩笑吧？你现在时一棵大树。kid sb.开某人的玩笑；expect期望； visit拜访。joke表开玩笑时用joke on sb。B通过后文可知种子现在很开心，所以种子现在是一棵

76、大树在他一生中第一 次笑了。此处recognize认出 听出。故选B项。A我不会默默无闻的死去，而是重生，帮助那些疲惫的旅行者。die死；live 活；appear出现；disappear消失。故选A项。55D根据上题解析，此处通过前文出现的tired可以得到判断。故选D项。第三部分 阅读理解 B这是一则分类广告，包含了几个常见的、实用的广告。60C词义猜测题。由这几个广告的形式(按照广告目的的不同分成了几大类)可以看出，所谓的“Classified ads”就是根据某个规则把广告分成不同类型的广告。故选C。61D细节理解题。本题的关键信息是“have something advertised

77、”，也就是说是想刊登广告，由文章的第一句话“For direct classified service, call 8000667 10 am.4 pm., MondayFriday. ”可知答案。62D细节理解题。由“For sale”中的“Color TV21，$150recorder，$25.”可知答案。63C细节理解题。在“Help wanted”中有提供的职位。C64D推理判断题。题目问的是“大多数日本高中生经常在哪里吃午饭”。根据第二段中“In most schools, students bring a box lunch from home”可知“大多数学校的学生的午饭是从家里

78、带来的”，故排除A、C两项；再根据此句前面的“at lunchtime, classrooms can be noisy, lively places.”可知“学生是在教室吃午饭的(午饭时教室很吵闹)”。65A细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Japanese students spend 240 days a year at school, 60 days more than American students.”可知，美国中学生一年上学的天数为180天。66C词义猜测题。根据后半句so the clubs are relatively stable可知，rarely意为“很少”，与C项(不常，很

79、少)意思一致。67A主旨大意题。根据第二、三段所涉及的内容(班级规模、在校吃午饭、上学天数、科目等)可知，该部分主要讲学生在校情况，故A项正确。同时正好与第一部分“上学”和最后一部分“课外活动”相承接。D68B细节理解题。根据第一段“Many adults believe that somehow boys need friends less than girls do”可知答案为B。69A推理判断题。根据第三段“Boys seem to enjoy, even need the opportunity to test themselves against others, and many l

80、asting friendships begin in karate(空手道) class or on the basketball court.”可推知A为答案。70C推理判断题。该研究显示“girls friendships are actually more fragile”，并解释了其原因，由此可推知选C。71B主旨大意题。本文驳斥了人们普遍认为的“男孩不像女孩一样需要友谊”，论述了男孩之间的友谊。故选B项。E72B细节理解题。由第一段开头“Facebook means never having to say goodbye. The social media website has

81、earned a reputation for reconnecting old friends.”可知答案。注意原文中的“reconnecting old friends”就是选项中的get in touch with old friends。73C细节理解题。由第二段的第一句话可以得出答案，作者的确获得了一些这位朋友的信息：he was in a relationship and had a son。74B细节理解题。由第三段中的“My pool of friends consists of.There are 35 in all.”可知作者只提到了自己的朋友数量和类别， 并没有提及是否和他们都有联系。75D句意理解题。由下文的“Some things shouldnt be simplified.When it comes to friendship, there can be no shortcuts.”可以看出选D。 - 12 -
