阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C和D项中,选出最佳选项,并填写在答题卡上。

When people are asked to point out one or two things that are most important to themselves,many put friends ahead of homes,jobs,clothes and cars.

A true friendship carries a long history of experience that determines who we are and keeps us connected.It is a treasure we should protect.Unfortunately,the better friends you are,the more probably you’ll have disagreements.And the result can be what you don’t want-an end to the relationship.

The good news is that most troubled friendships can be mended.First don’t let your pride get in your way.Most of us can forgive each other when differences are brought out in the open.

Second, apologize when you’re wrong-even if you’ve been wronged. Over the course of a friendship, even the best person makes mistakes. Sometimes, it may be best if the wronged person  takes the lead and apologizes. When you apologize, give your friend a chance to admit that he has been wrong. Third, see things from your friend’s point of view. And finally , accept that friendships change as our needs and lifestyles change. Making friends can sometimes seem easy. The hard part is keeping the connections strong during the natural ups and downs that have an effect on all relationships. My suggestion; Consider friendship an honor and a gift , and worth the efforts to treasure and nurture (培养).

第一节:阅读理解(共15小题,每小题2分,满分30分)阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D项中,选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑
Immediately I got up and dressed, stuck my violin under my jacket, and went out into the streets to try my luck. I wandered about for an hour, looking for a likely spot, feeling as though I were about to commit a crime. Then I stopped at last under a bridge near the station and decided to have a try.
I felt tense and nervous. One moment I was part of the hurrying crowds, the next I stood apart, my back to the wall, my hat on the pavement before me, the violin under my chin.
The first notes I played were loud and raw, then they settled down and began to run more smoothly. To my surprise I was neither caught nor told to shut up. Indeed, nobody took any notice at all. Then an old man without stopping secretly threw a penny into my hat, as if getting rid of some guilty evidence.
Other pennies followed, slowly but steadily, dropped by shadows who appeared not to see or hear me. It seemed too easy, like a secret trick.
I worked there for several days, gradually getting the truths of the trade by trial and error(反复试验).It was not a good thing, for example, to let the hat fill up with money; nor was it wise to empty it completely. Placing a couple of pennies in the hat to start the thing going soon became a regular rule.
41.When he first began to play the violin, he expected           .
A.to get into trouble                                                               B.to play better than he did
C.people to stop and listen to him             D.to be told to move somewhere else
42.The first man who gave him money           .
A.was too busy to stop                            B.wanted to get rid of him               
C.dropped the money by mistake              D.did not want to attract attention
43.He gradually became confident that day because           .
A.nobody looked at him                          B.he played the violin very well       
C.people continued to give him money      D.he earned a lot of money
44.On the following days, he           .
A.made a lot of mistakes                         B.learned how to do the job better    
C.get better at playing the violin               D.did not make so much money
45.He found that the best way of encouraging people to give him money was to          .
A.play in different streets                        B.leave all the money in the hat        
C.empty the hat at regular times               D.leave a small amount of money in the hat

第一节:阅读理解(共15小题;每小题2分,满分30分)
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项。
In 2008, the main candidates(候选人)for President each used this expression: “You can put lipstick(口红)on a pig, but it is still a pig.” This means that it is a waste of time to change something from ugly or unpleasant–looking to beautiful.
There are other expressions about improving a pig’s appearance, like this one: “A hog in a silk waistcoat is still a hog.” Hogs are similar to pigs, only bigger. Americans use many other expressions about pigs, hogs and female hogs called sows, like this one, “You cannot make a silk purse out of a sow’s ear.” This means you cannot create something valuable from something that has no value. Then there is the expression “Cast pearls before swine(猪).” That means wasting something valuable on someone who will not be thankful or care about it.
Hogs, which are very large animals, take up a lot of space but people should not take up more than their share. If one of your children is taking up too much space sitting in front of the television, other children might say: “Do not hog the couch.” And a road hog is a driver who uses more than his share of the road. Such a driver increases dangers for other drivers.
Pig terms are also used in American politics. Farmers mark their pig’s ears to identify them. In politics, earmarks are money set aside for projects in a congressman’s home state.
In many areas, pigs provide ham, bacon and other pork products to eat. All Americans want to be able to bring home the bacon because they want to earn enough money to provide the necessities of life. Experts say this term was first used in the 1920s. But it is believed to come from the much older game of catching a greased(涂了油的)pig. This was a popular event at country fairs in which the winner was awarded the pig.
41. The author writes this passage mainly to _________.
A. express his support for the Presidential Election
B. introduce some expressions used in Americans’ daily life
C. criticize the bad influence caused by expressions about pigs
D. discuss some problems caused by expressions about pigs
42. If you give a good book to a person who can’t read, which of the following is the most suitable to describe it?
A. Cast pearls before swine.
B. You can put lipstick on a pig, but it is still a pig.
C. A hog in a silk waistcoat is still a hog.
D. You cannot make a silk purse out of a sow’s ear.
43. A driver who takes up too much space on the road is often referred to as _________.
A. a greased pig                                         B. a couch hog
C. a road hog                                             D. a road earmark
44. How many words which refer to the same animal are mentioned in this passage?
A. Three                    B. Four                     C. Five                      D. Six
45. Which of the following expressions are similar to “You cannot make a silk purse out of a sow’s ear.”?
A. When pigs fly!                                            B. To eat like a pig
C. To sell a pig in a pork.                                 D. To sweat like a pig.

Schoolboys gained their skill in Latin in a bitter way. They kept in mind the rules to make learning by heart easier.

All schoolmasters believed Latin should be beaten in.
After several years of study ,the boys began to write compositions in imitation of the Latin writers they read. And as they began to read Latin poems ,they began to write poems in Latin .Because Milton was already a poet at ten ,his poems were much better than those painfully put together by the other boys. During the seven years Milton spent at university ,he made regular use of his command of Latin. He wrote some excellent Latin poems ,which he published among his works in 1645.

第三部分   阅读(共两节,满分40分)

第一节   阅读理解(共15小题,每小题2分,满分30分)

阅读下列四篇短文,从每题所给的四个选现(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

Weighed down(压得喘不过气来) by study? Pushed to the limit by the fast pace of life? Frightened by the possible war? Well, you’re not alone. Men and women in France are seeking relief using the world’s best medicine─laughter.

In the past year, more than 25 laughter clubs have been set up across the country. People of all ages release their stress with an hour of group laughs. “People telephoned me and said they have forgotten what it is to laugh. They want to find a place where they can escape all their problems for a while. So they come,” said 40-year-old Jocelyn Le Moan. She usually takes a class of around 60 people through a series of laughter techniques.

Her pupils range from teenagers to 70 years old, but most are middle-aged white collars seeking 60 minutes of relaxation at the end of a busy day.

Le Moan takes them through the “Lion Laugh” and the “Laugh Contest”, where participants “speak” to each other in different ways. And instead of talking, they break into fits of laughter. At the end there are 15 minutes of “meditation”(沉思),when they lie on their backs and let the laughs burst out of their mouths.

“I love it. It’s an experience that has changed my life. Through it I rediscovered the child’s laugh inside me,” said Romain Jourffroy, 24.

Like Jourffroy, many laughter club members find themselves changed into children again, and why not? The average preschooler laughs up to 400 times a day. The average adult only a sad seven to fifteen.

The physical benefits of laughter are already well-recognized. Doctors say the act of laughing releases good chemicals into the blood-stream, while the quick breathing that accompanies it helps massage(按摩)the digestive organs and strengthens the heart.

“A full hour is like having your insides go jogging! One finishes out of breath, but feels revitalized (产生新活力). And on top of that, you’ve had a laugh,” said doctor Alexisd Estaing.

And many participants in Paris also emphasize the psychological benefits. They believe that laughter is a way of making oneself feel more confident.

“Maybe it is because we are surrounded by so many troubles that we feel the need to keep laughing,” said Anne Maurigiano, a 29-year-old filmmaker.

1.      From the passage, we can conclude the following but __________.

       A. Jocelyn Le Moan is a teacher of the club.

       B. the members are mostly middle-aged white collars.

       C. people always need some way to relax in life.

       D. laugh freely and everything goes well.

2.    The writer suggested that you should __________.

       A. have a good laugh after a busy day

       B. talk to each other about what troubles you

       C. learn series of laughter techniques

       D. take the world’s best medicine

3.      Which of the following is NOT included among the benefits of laughing ?

       A. It can make people rediscover their children’s laugh.

       B. It can release good chemical into blood-stream.

       C. It can make you feel self-confident.

       D. It can cure the illness of people.

4. What does the phrase “on the top of that ” mean?

       A. besides                                                       B. on the top of tiredness

C. above all                                                        D. on the top of your energy
