14、ng it with others.” _31_ is quite true. Friends and mates allow us to enjoy our success and our joys, comfort us in our hard moments, and provide a mirror _32_ us. They enrich our lives and help us to learn more about ourselves. _33_ Robert Louis Steven said, “A friend is a present which you give _3
15、4_.” To be a good friend, its important to be a good listener. Hear what your friend or mate has to say first rather than _35_ (jump) to conclusions. Sometimes it is useful to be their mirror. When they hear their words _36_(repeat) back to them, it can help them to realize that what they said was n
16、ot exactly what they meant to say. The support of a friend during _37_ tough time could make the difference between success and failure. Encouragement and confidence are the _38_(price) gifts that can help change a persons life. Take care, though, with a friend you choose to have a close relationshi
17、p. I do remember that someone once _39_ (tell) me, “The attitudes of your friends are like the buttons on a lift. They will either take you up _40_ down.”、阅读（共25小题；每小题2分；满分50分）(A)What makes one person more intelligent than another? What makes one person a genius, like the brilliant Albert Einstein,
18、and another person a fool? Are people born intelligent or stupid, or is intelligence the result of where and how you live? These are very old questions and the answers to them are still not clear.We know, however, that just being born with a good mind is not enough. In some ways, the mind is like a
19、leg or an arm muscle. It needs exercise. Mental (done with the mind) exercise is particularly important for young children. Many child psychologists (心理学家) think that parents should play with their children more often and give them problems to think about. The children are then more likely to grow u
20、p bright and intelligent. If, on the other hand, children are left alone a great deal with nothing to do, they are more likely to become dull and unintelligent.Parents should also be careful with what they say to young children. According to some psychologists, if parents are always telling a child
21、that he or she is a fool or an idiot, then the child is more likely to keep doing silly and foolish things. So it is probably better for parents to say very positive (helpful) things to their children, such as “That was a very clever thing you did.” or “You are such a smart child.”41. The words “int
22、elligent” and “brilliant” in the first paragraph probably mean _ while “dull” in the second paragraph means _.A. bright and splendid; slow in thinking and understandingB. pretty and handsome; ordinary-lookingC. great and important; commonD. hopeful and helpful; careless42. According to the context w
23、e can guess that a genius is _ while an idiot is _.A. a normal person; a funny personB. a strong person; a weak personC. a highly intelligent person; a foolish or weak-minded person D. a famous person; an ordinary person43. A person _ is more likely to become a genius.A. whose parents are clever B.
24、often thinking about difficult problemsC. often helped by his parents and teachers D. born with a good brain and putting it into active use44. It is better for parents _.A. to praise and encourage their children more often B. to be hard on their childrenC. to leave their children alone with nothing
25、to do D. to give their children as much help as possible45. Which of the following is NOT true according to the article?A. Parents play an important part in their childrens growth.B. The less you use your mind the duller you may become.C. Intelligence is obviously the result of where and how you liv
26、e.D. What makes a person bright or stupid is still under discussion.(B) Michael Mattocks was a homeless seven-year-old in Washington D.C., living out of plastic bags when he met John Prendergast, a 20-year-old volunteer on the “Big Brothers Big Sisters” program.Their relationship lasted years and pr
27、ovided important support for Michael, who dealt drugs at one point but gave it up for steady work and life as a married father of five - typical of the effect of small acts of volunteerism that are the key to keeping more disadvantaged U.S. children out of a life of poverty and crime today.“Generall
28、y, these young kids had no male role models in their life, and the lack of that led to some real self-esteem (自尊)problems. Sometimes you couldnt see them because the kids were so tough,” Prendergast said. “When somebody can come along and help a kid, and love that kid for who he is, unconditionally,
29、 it just gives him something to build on.”The relationship between the two men began in 1983, when Prendergast took Michael under his wing as part of the “Big Brothers Big Sisters” program, which for more than 100 years has been pairing troubled or disadvantaged children with a guider of the same se
30、x.During the 27 years, the two grew close enough that Prendergast attended Michaels wedding and remains close to him today. “John is warm-hearted and always patient with others. A big brother is a powerful thing to have, especially a brother who isnt just part of your family by birth, but who choose
31、s to be. I dont know if I would have believed in myself enough to get out of my past life, without him believing in me,” Michael said.But the program is now struggling a bit, partly because of the recent economic crisis (经济危机)that has hit many non-profit organizations. In addition, far fewer men are
32、 volunteering, perhaps due to the present pressures in their life, as well as a general sense that urban problems are so big that nothing can be done to make a difference. But thats not true, said Prendergast.46. The “Big Brothers Big Sisters” program is to help _.A. recycle plastic bags B. get rid
33、of drugs C. disadvantaged children D. unmarried persons47. The underlined word them in Paragraph 3 refers to _.A. the self-esteem problems B. the male role models C. the kids D. the volunteers48. What does the fifth paragraph mainly tell us ?A. Michael Mattocks grew up and married. B. Michael Mattoc
34、ks wanted to becoame a big brother.C. John Prendergast works hard for the program. D. John Prendergast is a successful big brother.49. According to the passage, which of the following words CANNOT describe John Prendergast ?A. Helpful B. Patient C. Easy-going D. Brave50. What problem is the program

43、nt.( D ) GU Zhaodi, 60, had taken water for granted for years. In fact, no one in the beautiful lake city of Wuxi, Jiangsu Province had bothered to spare a thought on water. But all that changed dramatically overnight last month when taps in the city ran dry. Due to a blue-green algae(藻类) outbreak i
44、n Taihu Lake, Chinas third largest freshwater lake and the source of drinking water for 4 million Wuxi residents(居民),water from the citys taps became dark and smelly. “I cant believe there is no water for drinking, let alone cooking and washing,”said u. The lake was blanketed with the algae, giving
45、off a strong smell of rotting meat. A stone thrown into it took a long time to sink. Experts said that algae usually boom because of hot water and rich chemicals like phosphor(磷)in the water. “High temperature and a lack of rain in the past few months helped the growth of algae,”said Zhang Lijun, an
46、 official from the State Environment Protection Administration. “However, pollution from human activity should be most blamed for the disaster.” Taihu Lake is surrounded by many small factories, which sprang up in the 1980s.Inthe 1990s,many foreign-funded(外资的) companies joined in. The industries pro
47、spered(繁荣)，Wuxi has grown into one of the wealthiest cities in East China. But that came at the price of pollution. The lake was treated like a waste dump(垃圾堆)，with factories emptying industrial waste and untreated sewage(污水)into it. Although, after the governments effort, life in the city has gone
48、back to normal, the one-week crisis（危机）rang a bell for the government and local people.“Its time to rebuild the beauty of nature, or our lives will be at risk,”said Gu. “A safe environment comes first. Economic growth will be nothing without fresh water to drink and clean air to breathe.” said China
