To have a friend, you must  learn to be one. 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; 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 haven’t been honest, you may lose your friend’s trust. Good friends always trust one another to speak and act honestly. Generosity (大度) means sharing and sharing makes a friendship grow. You do not have to give your lunch money or 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 to share your ideas and feelings. These can be very valuable to a friend. 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. No two friendships are ever exactly alike. But all true friendships have three things in common. If you plan to keep your friends, you must practice honesty, generosity, and understanding.‎ 3. 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 friendship receive friendship from others D. some people receive friendship but don’t give friendship back 4. The best title of this passage is _____.‎ A. Honesty is the Best Policy B. A Friend in Need is a Friend Indeed C. Three Important Points in Life D. Three Important Points in Making Friends 5. Which of the following isn’t mentioned in the passage?‎ A. Always tell your friends the truth. B. Sharing your mind with your friends is of great value. C. Discussing your problems with your friend often helps to solve the problem. D. A friend who gives you his lunch money is a true friend.‎ C Of all the animals in the animal kingdom, which one (aside from man) is the cleverest? ‎ There are several ways of measuring the intelligence of animals. In one test a scientist sets three same cans on a table. While the animal watches, he puts food under one of the cans. Then he leads the animal away. Some time later, he brings it back to see if it remembers which can has the food. No smelling is allowed; the animal must go directly to the correct can or it fails.‎ This is called a delayed- response text. The idea is to find out how long an animal’s memory can keep information. The scientists would try showing the cans to the animal one hour later, or two hours later, or even a full day later. They discovered that chimpanzees and elephants had the best memory, and were able to remember the correct can for at least twenty hours. No other animal is close. Dogs came next, but they only remembered for nine hours.‎ To settle the matter, the scientists designed a huge maze (迷宫) and ran the chimps and elephants through it. The maze was very difficult, with many blind paths and dead ends. It took the chimps (chimpanzees) ten minutes to find their way out. The elephants needed half an hour. Even allowing for the elephants’ slower rate of speed, the test shows that chimpanzees are the cleverest animals.‎ From this and other tests, the scientists drew the following conclusion: an animal’s intelligence depends on the size of its brain in proportion (比例) to the size of its body. The elephant’s brain weighs ten pounds. But this is only 1/600th of its 6,000 pounds body. A chimp’s brain weighs about one pound, or 1/120th of its total body weight. So in proportion to its body size, the chimp has four times as much brain as the elephant----more brain for less body. The chimp is the champ!‎ 1. Which is the best title?‎ A. The Elephant’s Memory B. The Chimp’s Brain C. Judging Intelligence D. The Cleverest Animal 2. According to the passage, a rhinoceros (犀牛) that weighs 2100 pounds, and has a 3-pound brain is      .‎ A. as clever as a chimp B. more clever than an elephant C. less clever than an elephant D. as clever as an elephant 3. The delayed-response test is designed to test an animal’s .‎ A. memory B. brain C. learning ability D. eyesight 4. The passage tells that elephants______.‎ A. are slower-moving than chimps B. are more clever than chimps C. never forget things D. have better memories than chimps D Many years ago, when I was fresh out of school and working in Denver, I was driving to my parents’ home in Missouri for Christmas. I stopped at a gas station about 50 miles from Oklahoma City, where I was planning to stop and visit a friend. While I was standing in line at the cash register, I said hello to an older couple who were also paying for gas. I took off, but had gone only a few miles when black smoke poured from the back of my car. I stopped and wondered what I should do. A car pulled up behind me. It was the couple I had spoken to at the gas station. They said they would take me to my friend’s. We chatted on the way into the city, and when I got out of the car, the husband gave me his business card. I wrote him and his wife a thank-you note for helping me. Soon afterward, I received a Christmas ‎ present from them. Their note that came with it said that helping me had made their holiday meaningful. Years later, I drove to a meeting in a nearby town in the morning. In late afternoon I returned to my car and found that I’d left the lights on all day, and the battery was dead. Then I noticed that the Friendly Ford dealership—a shop selling cars—was right next door. I walked over and found two salesmen in the showroom. “Just how friendly is Friendly Ford?” I asked and explained my trouble. They quickly drove a pickup truck to my car and started it. They would accept no payment, so when I got home, I wrote them a note to say thanks. I received a letter back from one of the salesmen. No one had ever taken the time to write him and say thank you, and it meant a lot, he said. “Thank you”—two powerful words. They’re easy to say and mean so much.‎ 1. The author planned to stop at Oklahoma City ______.‎ A. to visit a friend B. to see his parents C. to pay at the cash register D. to have more gas for his car 2. The words “took off” underlined in Paragraph 2 mean ______.‎ A. turned off B. moved off C. put up D. set up 3. What happened when the author found smoke coming out of his car?‎ A. He had it pulled back to the gas station. B. The couple sent him a business card. C. The couple offered to help him. D. He called his friend for help.‎ 4. By telling his own experiences, the author tries to show ______.‎ A. how to write a thank-you letter B. how to deal with car problems C. the kind-heartedness of older people D. the importance of expressing thanks 二、阅读七选五（本大题共5小题，共10.0分）‎ ‎                                     Building Trust in a Relationship Again    Trust is a learned behavior that we gain from past experiences.     (16)     That is a risk. But you can't be successful when there's a lack of trust in a relationship that results from an action where the wrongdoer takes no responsibility to fix the mistake.     Unfortunately, we've all been victims (受害者) of betrayal (背叛). Whether we've been stolen from, lied to, or cheated on, there are different levels of losing trust. Sometimes people simply can't trust anymore.     (17)     It's understandable, but if you're willing to build trust in a relationship again, we have some steps you can take to get you there. •     (18)     Having confidence in yourself will help you make better choices because you can see what the best outcome would be for your well-being. •     (19)     If you've been betrayed, you are the victim of your surroundings. But there's a difference between being a victim and living with a "victim mentality (心态)". At some point in all of our lives, we'll have our trust tested or broken. • You didn't lose "everything". Once trust is lost, what is left? Instead of looking at the situation ‎ from this hopeless angle, look at everything you still have and be thankful for all of the good in your life.     (20)     Instead, it's a healthy way to work through the experience to allow room for positive growth and forgiveness.A. Learn to really trust yourself. B. It is putting confidence in someone. C. Stop regarding yourself as the victim. D. Remember that you can expect the best in return. E. They've been too badly hurt and they can't bear to let it happen again. F. This knowledge carries over in their attitude toward their future relationships. G. Seeing the positive side of things doesn't mean you're ignoring what happened.‎ 三、完形填空（本大题共20小题，共30.0分）‎ 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项(A.B.C和D)中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 It was a busy morning，about 8：30，when an elderly gentleman in his 80s came to the hospital.I heard him saying to the nurse that he was in a hurry for an appointment(约会)at 9：30.
