三、阅读理解(共15 小题,30分)
I like friends who share my happiness and sorrow,and who possess wings of their own and fly with me. I seek friends whose qualities illuminate(照亮)me and help me to express my love. It is for these people that I reserve the glowing hours, too good not to share.
When I was in the eighth grade, I had a friend. We were shy and “too serious” about our studies when it was becoming fashionable with our classmates to learn acceptable social behaviors. We said little at school, but she would come to my house and we would sit down with pencils and paper, and one of us would say,“Let’s start with a train whistle today.” We would sit quietly together and write poems or stories that grew out of a train whistle. Then we would read them aloud. At the end of that school year, we too, were changing into social creatures and the stories and poems stopped.
When I lived for a time in London, I had a friend. He was in despair(失望) and I was in despair, but our friendship was based on the idea that we would be sorry later if we did not explore this great city because we felt awful at the time. We met every Sunday for five weeks and visited many wonderful places. We walked until our despair disappeared and then we parted. We gave London to each other.
For almost four years I have had a remarkable friend whose imagination illuminates mine. We write long letters to each other in which we often discover our strangest selves. Each of us appears, sometimes in a funny way, in the other’s dreams. She and I agree that, at certain times, we seem to be parts of the same mind. In my most interesting moments, I often think: “Yes, I must tell…” We have never met.
It is such comforting companions I wish to keep. One bright hour with their kind is worth more to me than the lifetime services of a psychologist(心理学家), who will only fill up the healing(愈合的) silence necessary to those darkest moments in which I would rather be my own best friend.

Thanks to the huge success of Harry Potter, many teenagers dream about living in an ancient castle. These dreams may include beautiful silk dresses, delicious food, servants and of course, magic. However, real life in an English castle was not easy. With thick stonewalls and high towers, castles were built for defence(防御). So they were not good places to live in. In medieval times, castles must have been noisy and smelly places. Horses, cattle, chickens and sheep walked free, blacksmiths did ironwork, soldiers practised sword (剑) fights, and children of all ages played around them. Castles did not have central heating; the only heat came from the fireplace. Even in summer the castle was cool. People living in the castles had to use blankets to keep warm while at work.
Life during the Middle Ages began at sunrise. Servants lit the fire, swept the floor and cooked the morning meal. The mid-morning meal was the main meal of the day and often included three or four courses (一道菜). After dinner, everyone continued his or her work. The owner of the castle, the lord, sometimes took his guests hunting or shooting. His wife, the lady, spent much of the day watching the maids (女仆) work, as well as people working in the kitchen. She also kept an eye on the weavers and embroiderers who made clothes for the family. Supper was simple and eaten late, just before bedtime.
You may find some old magic books in a castle as Harry Potter once did. Read them before you go to bed, because when you fall asleep the magic of castle life may appear before your eyes.
【小题1】 For what purpose were the castles built in England?

A.To defend the city or country against enemies.

【小题2】 Why were the ancient castles noisy?

B.Because blacksmiths did ironwork there.
C.Because children of all ages played around them.
D.All of the above.

A.The servants in castles lived an easy life.
B.The wife spent much of the day at home.
C.Supper was eaten before sunset.
D.Dinner was eaten in the middle of the day.
【小题4】The main idea of this passage is ______.

Most people believe they don't have imagination. They are wrong. Everyone has imagination, but most of us,once we became adults, forget how to access it. Creativity isn't always connected with great works of art or ideas. People at work and in their free time routinely think of creative ways to solve problems. Maybe you have a goal to achieve,a tricky question to answer or you just want to expand your mind! Here are three techniques to help you.

This technique involves taking unrelated ideas and trying to find links between them. First,think about the problem you have to solve or the job you need to do. Then find an image,word,idea or object,for example,a candle. Write down all the ideas/words associated with candles:light,fire,matches, wax,night,silence,etc. Think of as many as you can. The next stage is to relate the ideas to the job you have to do. So imagine you want to buy a friend an original present; you could buy him tickets to a match or take him out for the night.

   Imagine that normal limitations don't exist. You have as much time/space/money,etc. as you want. Think about your goal and the new possibilities. If,for example,your goal is to learn to ski, you can now practice skiing every day of your life (because you have the time and the money). Now adapt this to reality. Maybe you can practice skiing every day in December,or every Monday in January.

Look at the situation from a different point of view. Good negotiators use this technique in business,and so do writers. Fiction writers often imagine they are the characters in their books. They ask questions: what does this character want? Why can't she get it? What changes must she make to get what she wants? What does she dream about? If your goal involves other people, put yourself “in their shoes”. The best fishermen think like fish!

1.According to the passage, when we become adults, _________ .

A.most of us are no longer creative

B.we can still learn to be more creative

C.we are not as imaginative as children

D.we are unwilling to be creative

2.The second technique suggests that you just imagine

A.setting a goal is as simple as skiing

B.new possibilities will soon appear

C.December and January are the best months for skiing.

D.you have every resource to achieve your goal

3.The phrase “put yourself in their shoes” in paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to ______  .

A.dress yourself like them

B.think as they would

C.do as they ask you to

D.put on their shoes

4.We learn from the third technique that a good salesman should ask himself “ _________ ?”.

A.what do I usually do

B.what did my boss tell me to do

C.what are my customers' needs

D.how should I sell my products

 

LONDON (Reuters Life!) ---- Forget about talking your children into considering life as a doctor or a teacher and start training them for the talent show.

A survey of British parents showed the aspirations (志向) of their children are greatly different from what they dreamed about when considering who they wanted to be when they grew up.

Although astronaut (宇航员) still remains fairly high on the list of careers (事业) kids dream about these days, others like doctor and teacher have been taken the place of by the desire (欲望) to win good name and money as a sporting hero, pop star or actor.

 The parents of children aged 5 to 11 said the choice of lawyer had dropped by only one place on a top 10 list to sixth, while teacher had dropped to ninth from top in the last 25 or more years.

 The survey for British TV channel “Watch” found a great difference between the genders (性别) of today’s young people when compared with their parents’ dreams 25 years or more ago.

 Playing professional football, being an astronaut and joining the firefighting service topped the boys’ choices, while girls are more likely to be dreaming of taking to the stage as a pop star or actress or joining the medical profession.

When asked what they would like their children to do for a living, today’s parents still like the academic (学术的) professions (职业), with law and medicine scoring highly, while being a boss came third.

Parents also praised job happiness above wealth (财富) when it comes to their hopes for their children.

Nearly 70 percent of the parents surveyed thought that they failed to follow their dreams when it came to their career, with 37 percent thinking it was caused by a lack of aspiration and not having the necessary conditions.

1.  From the passage we know that most parents still hope that in the future their children can take up ______.

   A. jobs such as musicians, singers and dancers

   B. jobs related to academic professions like lawyers and doctors

   C. jobs in which they will not be endangered

   D. jobs which will be well paid only

2.  The first paragraph is to advise parents to ______.

   A. change their children’s dreams     B. correct their children’s dreams

   C. follow their children’s dreams          D. forget their children’s dreams

3.  According to the survey for British TV channel “Watch”, which of the following is the boys’ best career choice?

   A. A pop star       B. An actor        C. A doctor         D. A firefighter 

4.  What can be learnt from the passage?

   A. Parents’ hope for their children’s career did not change too much.

   B. Parents pay much attention to the income of their children.

   C. Less than half of the parents who were surveyed didn’t follow their dreams.

   D. Most parents didn’t have the necessary conditions to realize their dreams.

5.  What is the main idea of the passage?

   A. Many reasons cause the change of children’s dreams.

   B. Parents’ dreams are different from children’s.

   C. Parents are changing their own dreams.

   D. Children’s dreams are always changing.
