【题目】语法填空
Our ancestors(祖先)made the old saying that friends(be) like wine-the older,the better.Because of that, many people think old friends to be(important) than new ones.For example,if two pieces of advice are given to solve a problem,one from a new friend and the other from an old friend,people always prefer to choose the latter one,the new friend's advice may be better.
(disagree) with the old saying,I believe that new friends are not(necessary) worse than old friends. Why?Because the(long) of time cannot tell whether your friendship is better or not.
Once you call someone friend,he must be a person who is(rely) and whose interests are in common with(you).Maybe a friend's outside look(change) all the time,but the inside characters of him and his interests won't change at all.It is just these unchangeable characters and interests that make him a friend to you.,there is no difference between old friends and new ones on this point.

【答案】are;more important;although/though;Disagreeing;necessarily;length;reliable;yours;is changing/changes/has been changing;So/Thus/Therefore
【解析】本文是一篇议论文,讲述了人们认为朋友就像酒,越陈越好。作者不同意这个观点,并说明了原因。
(1)考查系动词。句意:我们的祖先有句老话:朋友就像酒,越陈越好。主语为“friends”,故系动词使用are。根据题意,故填are。
(2)考查比较级。句意:正因为如此,许多人认为老朋友比新朋友更重要。根据“than”新老朋友作比较,故使用比较级。根据题意,故填more important。
(3)考查连词。句意:虽然新朋友的意见可能会更好。根据句意,前后为转折关系。根据题意,故填although/though。
(4)考查非谓语动词。句意:我不同意这句老话,我认为新朋友不一定比老朋友差。主语I与动词disagree为主谓关系,故使用现在分词作状语。根据题意,故填Disagreeing。
(5)考查副词。句意:我不同意这句老话,我认为新朋友不一定比老朋友差。修饰形容词worse应使用副词,根据题意,故填necessarily。
(6)考查名词。句意:因为时间的长短不能分辨你的友谊是好是坏。the后加名词。根据题意,故填length。
(7)考查形容词。句意:你打电话的朋友一定是一个值得信任的人,他与你有共同的兴趣。系动词is后使用形容词作表语。根据题意,故填reliable。
(8)考查代词。句意:你打电话的朋友一定是一个值得信任的人,他与你有共同的兴趣。根据题意,应填形容性物主代词。故填yours。
(9)考查时态。句意:也许你的朋友外表在不断的改变,但是他的内在与兴趣不会改变。根据题意,故填is changing/changes/has been changing。
(10)考查连词。句意:所以,老朋友与新朋友在这一点上没有区别。前后为因果关系。根据题意,故填So/Thus/Therefore。

The new mayor of Hillsdale, Michigan, is a man of the people, ready to listen to their problems, but only until 6 p.m. Then he has to do his homework. Michael Sessions, 18, beat former mayor Douglas Ingles, 51, by just two votes and became the new mayor of Hillsdale. He is America's youngest mayor.
As Sessions was too young to enter the election in the spring of 2005, he registered to vote on Sept, 22, one day after his 18-year-old birthday. The day after that he started his write-in campaign, which means he should persuade voters to remember his name and write it by hand on the voting ballots(选票).
To help get his name known, Sessions earned$700 by selling apples over the summer. He spent the money on posters and put them on the Hillsdale's lawns.
Sessions' month-long campaign included going door to door, explaining his ideas of the town's future in the kitchens of his neighbors. "They'd look at me, and say‘How old are you again? How much experience do you have?' And I say ‘I'm still in high school', " he said. Sessions promised Hillsdale's voters he would renew local economy. “I was hopeful the whole time, ” he explained. One day he spent so long out on the streets knocking on the doors that he ended up in a hospital emergency room.
Sessions said that his schoolwork will not get in the way of his job as a mayor. “From 7:50 a.m. to 2:30p.m., I'11 be a student. From 3 to 6, I'11 be the mayor of Hillsdale," he said.
“He did a very brave thing that couldn't have been easy for him to do, "said Jack Vettel, a councilman in Hillsdale, a city of 8,200 about 75 miles southwest of Detroit. "He does care about this town. He's been here all his life.”

【题目】根据短文理解,选择正确答案。
Valerie Jarrett, 58, is serving as a top adviser to President Obama and has been close to the first family since the early 1990s. Joe Heim from WashingtonPost had an interview with her.
Joe Heim: What do you think of a reporter who interviews you for 25 minutes, then later finds out his recorder stopped working and asks you to do the interview again?
Valerie Jarrett: That he's human. You could have just tried to pretend that it didn't happen.
Joe Heim: You're considered the president's closest adviser. Have you ever given him bad advice since he became president?
Valerie Jarrett: I'm sure that I have. I think one of the reasons why the president's management style is very effective is because all of his advisers feel very comfortable being open about their advice. Finally, there's only one decision-maker. And that's the president.
Joe Heim: What misunderstandings are there of you?
Valerie Jarrett: A little-known fact is that I started my life very shy and remained very shy well into adulthood. Painfully shy, I would call it. And I often share this, particularly with young people, because it's something I really had to work hard to overcome. And for all the shy people out there I say, you, too, can overcome it. But it took a lot of hard work on my part, and I discovered along the way that just because you're nervous and you have butterflies in your stomach doesn't mean that it has to show. My point in sharing it with you is that part of life is pushing yourself outside of your comfort zone (舒适区). And if you're going to grow, you have to learn how to take on new challenges that you might not be good at.
Joe Heim: Will you stay until the end of his term?
Valerie Jarrett: I serve at the pleasure of the president. If he wants me to stay, I will.
(1)From the underlined words “That he's human”, we can learn Valerie Jarrett is _____.
A.warm-hearted
B.broad-minded
C.well-educated
D.strong-willed
(2)Why does Valerie Jarrett share her shyness?

B.To prove shy people can also be great.
C.To show it is easy to overcome shyness.

(3)In which part of a newspaper could we find this text?
