题目内容

Speaking from my past experience, it is very difficult to find good friends that you can trust but once you have found them, they are worth keeping forever! Therefore, I think friendship is the most important relationship that anybody could have.

The qualities I look for in a friend are a good sense of humor but sensitivity when it matters. Also that friend would have to be strong-minded and highly spirited. I think that these qualities are the key qualities to look for in a good friend.

Even the strongest friends can still have arguments, although usually about more serious topics, rather than the usual teenage childish arguments. Some matters can seriously affect a friendship. If one of your friends started experimenting with harmful and dangerous drugs, what would you do ? A good friend would try to help as much as possible, whereas a bad example of a friend would simply shrug(耸肩) and turn a blind eye.

Not only the bad things affect friendship ---- good activities do too. Such as bonding with one another, not just by going out on a night with them but by spending quality time with them and talking to each other, which indicates a good ability to communicate. This is a key aspect of a good friendship.

Good friends do not always have to be in the same age group as you. I have a good friend and she is 47 years old and I am 16.

Unfortunately, some people lose contact with their friends as they grow older, which is a sad way to lose a good friend.

I think friendship is one of the most important things in life because if you have no friends you will have no happiness.

1.According to the author, true friendship _______.

A. is easy to get

B. deepens with time

C. needs management

D. affects one’s happiness

2.Paragraph 3 is mainly about______.

A. why drugs are bad for teenagers

B. problems that will test friendship

C. ways that help avoid arguments

D. whether a friend is trustworthy

3.According to the author, which matters least in friendship?

A. Age. B. Sensitivity.

C. Sense of humor. D. Communication ability.

4.Which of the following saying can match the author’s view on friendship?

A. Old friends and old wines are best.

B. A friend without faults will never be found.

C. A life without a friend is a life without the sun.

D. a friend to everybody is a friend to nobody.

Acceptionist：Can I help you？

Daniel：Yes, I’m doing some research on Roman civilization．__1.___

Acceptionist：These books over here are about ancient history．__2._

Daniel：Can I check this one out？

Acceptionist：_3._．It’s for reference only, so it must stay in the library．But you’re welcome to look through it．

Daniel：Ok．__4.__

Acceptionist：All right．They’re due back next Wednesday．

Daniel：__5.__

A． I’m sorry．

B． It doesn’t matter．

C． Thanks for your help．

D． They might be helpful．

E． They must be useful for you．

F． And I’d like to check these books out．

G． Do you have any books on the subject？

According to figures released by the Office for National Statistics (ONS)，the U．K．has about 7．7 million families with dependent children，of which 3．7 million have just one child，compared to 3 million with two and 1．1 million with three children or more．The number of families today with just one dependent child is now 47 percent and will likely rise to more than 50 percent in a decade．As the ONS confirms，“It appears that families are getting smaller．”

One obvious reason for this could be that women are putting off having children until they have established careers when they are bound to be less fertile．But it could just as well be a matter of choice．Parents must consider the rising cost of living，combined with economic uncertainty and an increasingly difficult job market．And this trend may continue growing as having an only child becomes more normal，which seems to be the mood on the mothers’ online forum Mumsnet，where one member announced that she “just wanted to start a positive thread about how fab it is to have an only child”．

She had received 231 replies，overwhelmingly in the same upbeat spirit．Parents of only children insist there are plenty of benefits．Nicola Kelly，a writer and lecturer who grew up as an only child and is now a married mother of one，says her 15 year old son seems more grown up in many ways than his contemporaries．

Not all products of single child families are as keen to repeat the experience．In a moving recent account journalist Janice Turner wrote about her own keenness to “squeeze out two sons just 22 months apart”as a reaction to her only child upbringing．

She was placed on a pedestal by her doting parents，whom she punished with a “brattish，wilful” rejection of everything they stood for．Desperate for a close friend she was repeatedly shattered by rejection and refers to her childhood as being “misery”．

Writer and clinician Dr．Dorothy Rowe，a member of the British Psychological Society，says that we all interpret events in our own individual way and there are some children who no matter what their circumstances feel slighted，while other children see the advantages of their situation．

However，the one part of life that is unlikely to get any easier for only children is when they grow up and find themselves looking after their own parents as they become older．

1.The passage is written with the purpose of ________．

A． illustrating the strength and weakness of having an only child

B． analyzing the reasons why having an only child becomes popular

C． presenting us with different opinions about having an only child

D． guiding people to look at the same issue from different perspectives

2.What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 4 mean？

A． Nearly half of families intend to have just one child．

B． All people don’t stand for the idea of having an only child．

C． Some people fail to recognize the advantage of having an only child．

D． People brought up in an only child family resist downsizing the family．

3.From what Dr．Dorothy Rowe said，we know that ________．

A． journalist Janice Turner experienced a miserable childhood

B． she has a positive attitude towards Janice Turner’s reaction

C． it’s necessary for us to look at the event from our own angle

D． some are unable to make an objective assessment of their conditions

4.What can be inferred from the passage？

A． It’s normal to see the imperfection in character in only children．

B． Mumsnet is an online forum which promotes having an only child．

C． Economic development plays a determining role in the family size．

D． Only children will have difficulty in attending to their parents．

_____ in charge of two classes made Mrs．Li, head of Senior Grade 3, extremely tired．

A． Leaving

B． Left

C． Being left

D． Having left

For centuries, medical pioneers have refined a variety of methods and medicines to treat sickness, injury, and disability, enabling people to live longer and healthier lives.

“A salamander (a small lizard-like animal) can grow back its leg. Why can't a human do the same?” asked Peruvian-born surgeon Dr. Anthony Atala in a recent interview. The question, a reference to work aiming to grow new limbs for wounded soldiers, captures the inventive spirit of regenerative medicine. This innovative field seeks to provide patients with replacement body parts. These parts are not made of steel; they are the real things --- living cells, tissue, and even organs.

Regenerative medicine is still mostly experimental, with clinical applications limited to procedures such as growing sheets of skin on burns and wounds. One of its most significant advances took place in 1999，when a research group at North Carolina’s Wake Forest Institute for Regenerative Medicine conducted a successful organ replacement with a laboratory-grown bladder. Since then, the team, led by Dr. Atala, has continued to generate a variety of other tissues and organs 一 from kidneys to ears.

The field of regenerative medicine builds on work conducted in the early twentieth century with the first successful transplants of donated human soft tissue and bone. However, donor organs are not always the best option. First of all, they are in short supply, and many people die while waiting for an available organ; in the United States alone, more than 100,000 people are waiting for organ transplants. Secondly, a patient’s body may ultimately reject the transplanted donor organ. An advantage of regenerative medicine is that the tissues are grown from a patient’s own cells and will not be rejected by the body’s immune system.

Today, several labs are working to create bioartificial body parts. Scientists at Columbia and Yale Universities have grown a jawbone and a lung. At the University of Minnesota, Doris Taylor has created a beating bioartificial rat heart. Dr. Atala’s medical team has reported long-term success with bioengineered bladders implanted into young patients with spina bifida (a birth defect that involves the incomplete development of the spinal cord). And at the University of Michigan, H. David Humes has created an artificial kidney.

So far, the kidney procedure has only been used successfully with sheep, but there is hope that one day similar kidney will be implantable in a human patient. The continuing research of scientists such as these may eventually make donor organs unnecessary and, as a result, significantly increase individuals'chances of survival.

1. In the latest field of regenerative medicine, what are replacement parts made of?

A. Cells, tissues and organs of one’s own.

B. Rejected cells, tissues and organs.

C. Donated cells, tissues and organs.

D. Cells, tissues and organs made of steel.

2.What have scientists experimented successfully on for a bioartificial kidney?

A. Patients. B. Rats. C. Soldiers. D. Sheep.

3.Why is generative medicine considered innovative?

A. It will strengthen the human body’s immune system.

B. It will provide patients with replacement soft tissues.

C. It will make patients live longer with bioartificial organs.

D. It will shorten the time patients waiting for a donated organ.

4.What is the writer’s attitude towards regenerative medicine?

A. Doubtful. B. Reserved. C. Positive. D. Negative.
