14.Do we really know our best friends?
I like my close friends a lot,and yet,on an almost daily basis,they shocked me.I have a friend who thinks voting is a waste of time; I have another friend who never takes any arrangement to meet at a given time and place seriously.
It's generally held that friends are people with whom we choose to develop relationships because we find their personalities agreeable,or similar to our own,and yet experience regularly contradicts this.What is a friend,really?All that one can safely say is that a friend is someone one likes and wishes to see again.
The truth is that we don't know our friends.Numerous studies show that we tend to assume our friends agree with us more than they really do.The striking part is that the problem doesn't appear to lessen as a friendship deepens.When the researchers Michael Gill and Bill Swann questioned students sharing rooms,they found that,as time passed,people became even more confident in the accuracy of their judgments about the other,and yet,in reality,the judgments grew no more accurate.Two people might become dear friends,yet remain ignorant about vast areas of each other's inner lives.
This seems strange,until you consider,that many of the benefits that friendship provides don't necessarily depend on perfect familiarity; they come from something closer to reliability.Friendship may be less about being drawn to someone's personality than about finding someone willing to keep you company,or lend an ear.A friend provides the"social-identity support"we desire.You needn't be a close match with someone,nor deeply familiar with their mind.And once a friendship has begun,you want to like it,if only to confirm that you made the right decision.We don't want to know everything about our friends.We don't base friendships on what we learn about people; we decide what to learn about people,and what to ignore,based on having decided to be friends.
Perhaps there's something moving aboun ways tht viewing friendship as an agreement to keep each other company,ignore each other's faults and not probe (刨根问底) too deeply iat might weaken the friendship.Perhaps a true friend is someone who doesn't ask many awkward questions.
67.Why does the author tell the stories of his two friends in the first paragraph?B
A.To provide background information.
B.To introduce the topic of the passage.
C.To stress the importance of friendship.
D.To show the difference between friends.
68.The underlined word"they"in Paragraph 4refers toD.
A.friends
B.judgments
C.researchers  
D.benefits
69.It can be concluded from the passage thatC.
A.close friends usually know each other in depth
B.real friends are people you like but don't wish to see often
C.we do not necessarily share personalities with close friends
D.the longer we stay with friends,the more accurately we judge them
70.Which statement about friends will the author probably accept?A
A.Stay friends but keep a distance.
B.It takes a long time to grow an old friend.
C.Real friends will tell you when your face is dirty.
D.True friends know all about you and still like you.

分析 作者通过列举例子介绍了最朋友的概念,那就是保持友谊,但要保持适当的距离.

解答 67.B 68.D 69.C 70.A
67B细节理解题.根据文章一句Do we really know our best friends?引出本话题,然后坐在举了自己朋友的两个例子来引出话题的讨论,故选B.
68D推理判断题.根据划线词所在句that many of the benefits that friendship provides don't necessarily depend on perfect familiarity; they come from something closer to reliability. 句意为"友情带来的很多好处不一定取决于极度熟悉,they来自于一种更像是信赖的东西"由此可推知,they指代上文提到的benefits,故选D.
69C细节理解题.A项根据文章最后一段friendship as an agreement to keep each other company,ignore each other's faults and not probe (刨根问底) too deeply iat might weaken the friendship. 可知A项错误,B项由第二段的最后一句that a friend is someone one likes and wishes to see again.可知B项错误.C项由第二段的第一句It's generally held that friends are people with whom we choose to develop relationships because we find their personalities agreeable,or similar to our own,and yet experience regularly contradicts this.可知普遍认为,朋友之间往往性格比较相投或相似,但实际情况却经常与之矛盾,所以C项正确.D项,由第三段中的students sharing rooms,they found that,as time passed,people became even more confident in the accuracy of their judgments about the other,and yet,in reality,the judgments grew no more accurate.可知,随着时间推移,学生们对他们对别人的评价的准确性更加有信心,可实际上他们对别人的判断却变得更加不准确,因此D项是错误的.
70A细节理解题.根据文章最后一段第一句Perhaps there's something moving aboun ways tht viewing friendship as an agreement to keep each other company,ignore each other's faults and not probe (刨根问底) too deeply iat might weaken the friendship 可知真正的朋友要懂得陪伴,忽视对方的缺点,不要问太多深入的问题,由此可知作者支持A项的维持友谊但保持距离的说法,故选A.

点评 做阅读理解时要快速的浏览全文,把握文章主旨大意,带着问题回到原文,寻找细节或概括相应的答案,最后要理清作者写作思路.

5.The ships and life jackets(救生衣) were ready.Now I just had to wait for my little brother,Daniel.His lungs had only 40percent of the breathing capacity(量)of an ordinary teenage boy.Every morning,evening and night,he did some breathing treatments.Daniel was fourteen-only four years younger than me-but I made it my business to look out for him.Friends who were coughing had to stay away until they were well.If not,it would mean a trip to the hospital if Daniel caught a cold.Many people said I was overprotective,but I knew it was my responsibility to keep him healthy.I was like Daniel's guardian angel(守护神),though he probably didn't know it.
I climbed into my seat and waited.When he was breathing better,we made our way past the cliffs(峭壁) that lined the shore.Cliffs rose on either side of us,the water breaking against them.The ocean was mad,but it was no trouble for us with rowing(划桨)experience.We felt surprised at the beauty of the scene-clear blue sky and calm breeze.
"Whoa,"Daniel said,looking up.In minutes the blue sky became windy and dark.Waves hit the shore and our ships went up and down in the wave.I looked back at Daniel to make sure he was okay and he was.
I got a bit too close to a rock on my left side.But before I could move away,a strong wave swept up my ship and pushed me toward the very rock I was trying to avoid.I tried to slow down and keep my balance.But I was headed right for the rock!Suddenly,my ship was ripped(裂开)by the rock from under me.I fell into the water.Everything was white.After my head broke the surface,I looked around but my ship was nowhere to be seen.The waves were too strong.I could hardly move.The water pulled me and pushed me at its will.
I could see my brother 30yards away.He was just away from the dangerous white water and rocks,still upright,in his ship.If he came closer,he would fall into the water,too.He wouldn't have the strength to fight.But Daniel was already on his way,rowing as fast as he could.I caught hold of the back of his ship.Breathing hard,Daniel pulled me toward the ship.He struggled and could hardly breathe but kept rowing.
Finally my feet touched the shore.It took Daniel a while to get his breath back.We shared a quick hug and we both lay on the shore.
Looking at Daniel,I thought of something.

2.In 1933 an unknown American called Clarence Nash went to see the film-maker Walter Disney.He had an unusual voice and he wanted to work in Disney's cartoon film for children.When Walter Disney heard Nash's voice,he said,"Stop!That's our duck!"
The duck was the now-famous Donald Duck,who first appeared in 1934in the film,The Wise Little Hen.Donald lived in an old houseboat and worn his sailor jacket and hat.Later that year he became a star after an eight minute Mickey Mouse film.The cinema audiences liked him because he was lazy and greedy,and because he lost his temper very easily.And they loved his voice when he became angry with Mickey's eight nephews.Soon Donald was more popular than Mickey Mouse himself,probably because he wasn't a goody-goody,like Mickey.
In the 1930s,1940s,and 1950s,Donald and his friends Mickey,Goofy and Pluto made hundreds of Disney cartoons.He also made educational film about the place of the USA in the world,and safety in the home.Then in 1966Donald Duck and his voice disappeared-there were no more new cartoons.
Clarence Nash died in February,1985.But today's children can still see the old cartoons on the television and hear that famous voice.

9.Sina Weibo,one of the country's most popular micro-blogging sites,has launched a paid service.For a 10yuan ($l.57)monthly fee,users get a membership on their Sina Weibo accounts.
According to Xu Yuanyuan,a member of the marketing team at Sina,the move is to guarantee a more convenient and safer environment for users.But despite the company's efforts to increase income,it seems that most of its 300million users still prefer the free version.
The premium membership (高级会员) plans,announced by the company on Monday,brought about negative comments from its users.
"The current service is good enough for me",said a Beijing-based micro-blogger."I don't really need those value-added services and it might be a waste of money.I might consider paying for it if some more features are added."
Dong Xu,an analyst with consulting firm Analysis International,said that Sina shouldn't expect a great incrase in income brought by the new services.The free services are enough for most users,Dong said."The company has been making attempts at different profit models since last year.A potential source of income could be gaming.Games and advertisements are so far te two biggest sources of income."she said.
Other micro-blogging service providers have not yet followed suit.Fang Gang,vice-president of rival Sohu,said via e-mail on Tuesday that Sohu's micro-blogging service will never charge users."It's good news for us.Users can come to our website if they have to pay for services (at Sina)."Fang said.

26.Most of Sina Weibo's users.B
A.aren't satisfied with its free version        
B.show no interest in its paid services
C.are looking forward to new services  
D.think highly of its new paid version
27.What's Dong Xu's attitude towards Sina Weibo's new services increasing income?A
A.Negative.
B.Confident.
C.Indifferent.
D.Positive.
28.Why did Fang Gang consider Sina Weibo's charging its users good news?C
A.Because Sina ill make more money.
B.Because Sina will lose the whole Weibo market.
C.Because Sohu will attract more users.
D.Because Sohu will offer free services.
29.What can be inferred from the text?D
A.Most of Weibo websites will charge their users.
