Too many people want others to be their friends, but they don’t give friendship back. That is why some friendships don’t last very long. To have a friend, you must learn to treat your friend the way you want your friend to treat you. Learning to be a good friend means learning three rules: be honest; be generous (宽宏大量的)；be understanding.
    Honesty is where a good friendship starts. Friends must be able to trust one another. If you don’t tell the truth, people usually find out. If a friend finds out that you haven’t been honest, you may lose your friend’s trust. Good friends always count on one another to speak and act honestly.
    Generosity  means sharing and sharing makes a friendship grow. You don’t have to give your lunch money or your clothes, or enjoy, like our hobbies and your interests. Naturally you will want to share your ideas and feelings. These can be very valuable to a friend. They tell your friend what is important to you. By sharing them you help your friend know you better.
    Sooner or later everyone needs understanding and help with a problem. Something may go wrong at school. Talking about the problem 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 understand. You must try to put yourself in your friend’s place so you can understand the problem better.
    No two friendships are ever exactly alike (相同). But all true friendships have three things in common. If you plan to keep your friendships, you must practice honesty. Generosity and understanding.
44. Some friendships don’t last very long because        .
  A. there are too many people who want to make friends.
  B. they don’t know friendship is something serious
  C. those who give others friendships receive friendships from others
  D. those who never give others friendships receive no friendship from others

Scientists in Argentina have created the world’s first cow with two human genes that will enable it to produce human-like milk.

Genetic engineering was used to introduce the "mothers’milk" genes into the animal before birth, according to the National Institute of Agribusiness Technology in Buenos Aires.
   As an adult, the cloned cow "will produce milk that is similar to that of humans", which will prove "a development of great importance for the nutrition of infants(婴儿)", said the institute. "The cloned cow, named Rosita ISA, is the first in the world with two human genes that contain the proteins present in human milk," said the statement.
   In April, scientists in China published details of research showing that they had created dairy cows which produced milk containing proteins found in human breast milk. But the Argentine team said the Chinese only introduced one human gene, while their research involved two, meaning the milk will more closely resemble that of humans.
   “Our goal was to raise the nutrition value of cows’milk by adding two human genes, which do good to the immune system of infants,” said Adrian Mutto, from the National University of San Martin which worked with the institute.

 Cristina Kirchner, President of Argentina, said that the scientific institute made all Argentines proud. She also said that she had rejected the "honor" of having the cow named after her. "They came to tell me that the name is Cristina, but what woman would like to have a cow named after her? It appeared to me to be more proper to call it Rosita.”

21. What is the passage mainly about?

A.      The importance of genetic engineering.

B.      Ways to improve mothers’ milk.

C.      A cloned cow to produce human-like milk.

D.     Advanced agricultural technology in Argentina.

22. Which of the following can best replace “more closely resemble” in Paragraph 4?

A.      have more varieties than

B.      be more similar to

C.      have more nutrition than

D.     be more different from

23. What can be inferred from Cristina Kirchner’s statements?

A.      She was quite satisfied with the research done by the institute.

B.      She considered it an honor to name the special cow.

C.      She felt it improper to be named after the cow.

D.     She refused to give a name to the cow out of self-respect.

Do you find getting up in the morning so difficult that it’s painful? This might be called laziness, but Dr. Kleitman has a new explanation. He has proved that everyone has a daily energy cycle.

During the hours when you labour through your work, you may say that you’re “hot”. That’s true. The time of day when you feel most energetic is when your cycle of body temperature is at its peak. For some people that peak comes during the forenoon. For others it comes in the afternoon or evening. No one has discovered why this is so, but it leads to such familiar monologues （自言自语）as “Get up , John ! You’ll be late for work again !” The possible explanation to the trouble is that John is at his temperature-and-energy peak in the evening. Much family quarrelling ends when husbands and wives realize what these energy cycles mean, and which cycle each member of the family has.

You can’t change your energy cycle, but you can make your life fit it better. Habit can help. Dr. Kleitman believes. Maybe you’re sleepy in the evening but feel you must stay up late anyway. Counteract （打乱）your cycle to some extent by habitually staying up later than you want to . If your energy is low in the morning but you have an important job to do early in the day, rise before your usual hour. This won’t change your cycle , but you’ll get up steam and work better at your low point .

Get off to a slow start which saves your energy. Get up with a yawn （呵欠）and stretch . Sit on the edge of the bed a minute before putting your feet on the floor. Avoid the troublesome search for clean clothes by laying them out the night before. Whenever possible, do routine （常规的）work in the afternoon and save tasks requiring more energy for your sharper hours .

5. Which of the following causes family quarrels?

      A. Familiar monologues.

      B. Not knowing each other’s energy cycle.

      C. A change in a family member’s energy cycle.

      D. Attempts to control the energy of other family members

6. If you want to work better at your low point in the morning, you should        .

      A. change your energy cycle                               B. overcome your laziness

      C. go to bed earlier                                    D. get up early than usual

7. You are advised to rise with a yawn and stretch because it will         .

A. keep your energy cycle under control all day    

B. help to keep your energy for the day’s work

C. help you to control your temper early in the day

D. enable you to get your energy on your routine work

8. What’s the best title of the passage?

      A. Change Your Habits                               B. Save Your Energy

      C. Temperature—and—Energy Peak            D. Daily Energy Cycle

Students who say they never or hardly ever used dictionaries often speak English well but usually write poorly, because they make many mistakes.

    The students who use dictionaries most do not learn especially well either. The ones who look up every new word do not read fast. Therefore they do not have time to read much. Those who use small two-language dictionaries have the worst problems. Their dictionaries often give only one or two words as translations of English. But one English word often has many translations in a foreign language and one foreign word has many translations in English.

    The most successful students are those who use large college edition dictionaries with about 100,000 words but do not use them too often. When they are reading, these students first try to get the general idea and understand new words from the context. Then they reread and use the dictionary to look up only key words that they still do not understand. They use dictionaries more for writing. If they are not sure how to spell a word, or divide it into syllables (音节), they always use a dictionary. Also, if they think a noun might have an unusual plural form, they check these in a dictionary.

11. The writer thinks that        .

     A. choose a good dictionary, and you’ll be successful in learning English

     B. dictionaries are not necessary to the students who learn English

     C. it is very important for students to use good dictionaries properly

     D. using dictionaries very often can’t help to improve writing

12. According to the passage, which of the following is wrong?

      A. Dictionaries have little effect on learning to speak English.

     B. Whatever new words you meet while reading, never use dictionaries.

     C. Small two-language dictionaries have serious defects (缺陷).

     D. Reading something for the first time, you’d better not use dictionaries.

13. When in the reading does the writer advise students to use a good dictionary?

     A. At the beginning of the reading                       B. At the end of the reading

     C. During the first reading                               D. After the first reading

Did you know that something as simple as the wallpaper on your computer can tell people a lot about you? According to researcher Donna Dawson, our computers say something about what we're like because they are part of our “personal space.”

       A picture of a child or family on the screen often means the person cares deeply about their loved ones. A photo of the person surrounded by friends shows they value their popularity and probably work well with other people. On the other hand, pictures showing examples of past successes, like winning a prize may mean a person is only interested in themselves.

       Pictures of nature and natural scenery tell people that you are driven to succeed and use the pictures to relax and remove the pressure (压力) in your life. Cityscapes, pictures of cities or towns, show that you enjoy travel and adventure. Most people with cityscapes as their wallpaper are optimistic (乐观的), happy people who feel even better thinking about the places they've visited or want to visit.

       Pictures of animals show that you are optimistic and kind-hearted. You are often happy and you enjoy life and act young. Cartoons (漫画) or drawings show that you are a multitasker, someone who does many things at once. You have many responsibilities, but you deal with them well. That's one reason you like having something to smile about when you look at your computer wallpaper.

       Then, what does plain blue wallpaper tell us about a person? According to Dawson, a person with plain blue wallpaper probably values their privacy and keeps work from becoming too personal.

29. A prize photo as wallpaper suggests someone _____.

A. has a strong wish to succeed

B. is confident about himself or herself

A. pictures of nature and natural scenery

B. city views or pictures of animals

C. pictures showing their past successes

  Most animals have little connection with animals of a different kind, unless they hunt them for food. Sometimes, however, two kinds of animals come together in a partnership(伙伴关系) which does good to both of them. You may have noticed some birds sitting on the backs of sheep. This is not because They want a ride, but because they remove the cause of discomfort. So although they can manage without each other, they do better together.

  Sometimes an animal has a plant partner. The relationship develops until the two partners cannot manage without each other. This is so in the corals(珊瑚) of the sea. In their skins they have tiny plants which act as "dustman", taking some of the waste product from the coral and giving in return oxygen which the animal needs to breathe. If the plants are killed, or are even prevented from light so that  cannot live normally, the corals will die.

29.Some birds like to sit on a sheep because       .

A.they can eat its parasites  B.they depend on the sheep for existence

C.they enjoy traveling with the sheep  D.they find the position most comfortable

30.The underlined word "they" in the last sentence of the first paragraph refers to       .

A.birds and parasites  B.birds and sheep

C.parasite and sheep  D.sheep, birds and parasites

30.It can be learnt from the text that coral depends on the plant for       .

A.comfort  B.light  C.food  D.oxygen

32.What Does the scend passage mainly discuss?

A.Some animals and plants depend on each other for existence.

B.Some animals and plants develop their relationship easily.

C.Some plants depend on each other for food.

D.Some animals live better together.

Valentine's Day is a holiday honouring lovers. It is named after Saint Valentine, an early Christian (基督教的)  churchman who helped young lovers. Valentine was killed for his Christian beliefs on February 14 more than 1 700 years ago, but the day that has his name is even earlier than that.

   More than 2 000 years ago, the ancient Romans celebrated a holiday for lovers. As part of the celebration, girls wrote their names on pieces of paper and put them in a large container(容器) .Boys reached into the container and pulled one out. The girl whose name was written on the paper became his lover or sweet heart for a year.

   Lovers still put their names on pieces of paper and they send each other Valentine's Day cards that tell of their love. Sometimes they also send gifts, like flowers or chocolate candy. Americans usually send gifts and cards through the mail system. But some use another way to send this message. They have it printed in a newspaper. The cost is usually a few dollars. Some of the messages are simple and short, "Jane, I love you very much. "Others say more. This one, for example, "Dan, roses are red.Violets are blue. I hope you love me as much as I love you.Forever.  Mary. "

   Most of the newspapers that print such messages are local,but USA Today is sold throughout the United States and 90 other countries as well. This means someone can send a Valentine message to a lover in a faraway city or town almost anywhere in the world.  These messages cost 80 dollars or more. An employee (雇员) of USA Today says readers can have a small heart or rose printed along with their messages this year. Will this kind of Valentine's Day message reach the one you love? Well, just make sure he or she reads the newspaper.
