摘要:A. Families are very important for everyone as well as friends. Some can get on with members of their families but not with friends. Others are just opposite. Please look at the following teenagers and find out their different ideas about family and friends. Destiny Jenna 11 years old, Cowage I get on with members of my family after an quarrel but when we are actually quarrelling it's different, although it doesn't often happen. I get on with all of them really. I think that it depends on what they have done for me. I class some of my family as friends as well as relatives. If I am in a bad mood with someone in my family then I might choose a friend over them. I agree with the saying that you can choose your friends and not your family because your family just comes but your friends don't, do they? Caroline Kylie, 10 years old, Blakeley I get on with my family. I think you have to get on with them even though they might quarrel, because you love them. I have never thought of a friend better than a family member because I class my family as friends as well. I never quarrel with any of my relatives, but I think that it's right about saying that you can choose your friends but not your family. Michelle Juan, 12 years old, Blakeley I get on with my family, although I feel as if I have to when we argue. I argue with my mum quite often and she goes into a bad mood. I get on with all of them but sometimes they can be nasty and make arguments. I class my family as friends as well, although I have sometimes thought of a friend better than my family. 41. Who will choose a friend when she is unhappy? A. Destiny B. Caroline C. Michelle D. Michelle's mother 42. Who hold the opinion that friends can be chosen but families can't? A. Destiny B. Michelle C. Both Michelle and Caroline D. Both Destiny and Caroline 43. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage? A. Destiny doesn't often argue with her family members. B. Caroline sometimes quarrels with her relatives. C. Michelle makes her mother unhappy because she quarrels with her. D. Michelle's family members sometimes say nasty things and she quarrels with them. 44. Caroline thinks her friends are as important as her family members because . A. her family is a friendly one. B. her family members never argue with each other. C. she classes her family as friends as well. D. her mother is always in a good mood. 45. The passage is about . A. family members B. how to get on with friends C. how to get on with family members D. opinions of family and friends B. Feeling tired lately? Has the doctor said he cannot find anything wrong with you? Perhaps he sent you to a hospital, but all the advanced equipment there shows that there is nothing wrong. Then consider this, you might be in a state of subhealth. Subhealth, also called the third state or grey state, is explained as a border line state between health and disease. According to an investigation by the National Health Organization, over 45 percent of subhealthy people are middle-aged or elderly. The percentage is even higher among people who work in management positions as well as students around exam time. Symptoms include a lack of energy, depression, slow reactions, insomnia, agitation, and poor memory. Other symptoms include shortness of breath, sweating and aching in the waist and legs. The key to preventing and recovering from subhealth, according to some medical experts, is to form good living habits, alternate work with rest, exercise regularly, and take part in open-air activities. As for meals, people are advised to eat less salt and sugar. They should also eat more fresh vegetables, fruits and fish because they are rich in nutritional elements, vitamins and trace elements that are important to the body. Nutrition experts point out that it is not good to eat too much at one meal because it may cause unhealthy changes in the digestive tract. They also say that a balanced diet is very helpful in avoiding subhealth. 46.According to the passage, which of the following is RIGHT? A. When you are in a state of subhealth, you should stay home and keep silent. B. When you are in a state of subhealth, you should go to see a doctor and buy some medicine. C. When you are in a state of subhealth, you should have yourself examined in some good hospitals. D. When you are in a state of subhealth, you should find out the reasons and relax yourself. 47. Middle-aged people may feel subhealthy, because . A. they have used up their energy B. they have lost their living hopes C. they have more pressure in life and work D. they begin to get older 48. The answer of preventing you falling into a state of subhealth is that you should . A. work hard B. sleep more C. keep relaxed D. eat more 49. As for food, experts suggest that . A. we should never eat meat B. we should have meals with less salt and sugar C. we should eat less D. we should have meals without salt and sugar 50. The underlined word "alternate" in this passage means . A. arrange by turns B. cause to take place C. keep up D. take up C. Read the following passage and choose the most suitable heading from this list for each paragraph. Note that there is one extra heading. A. Smoking brings many psychological benefits. B. Tobacco is an important source of income to the government. C. Smoking is sure to cause disease. D. It's a short-sighted policy to depend on tobacco for money. E. The advertisement for it is dishonest and harmful. F. The tobacco industry makes high quality advertisement for smoking. 51. If you smoke and you still don't believe that there's a definite link between smoking and bronchial troubles, heart disease and lung cancer, then you are certainly deceiving yourself. Just have a look at those people in hospital with these diseases and count how many of them do not smoke, you may be surprised at the number. Even these few people might be passive smokers without realizing it. 52. Tobacco is a wonderful commodity to tax. It's almost like a tax on our daily bread. In tax revenue alone, the government of Britain collects enough from smokers to pay for its entire educational facilities. So while the authorities point out ever so carefully that smoking may be harmful, it doesn't do to shout too loudly about it. 53. The advertising of tobacco is one of the problems. We are never shown pictures of real smokers coughing up their lungs early in the morning. That would never do. The advertisements always depict handsome, clean and shaven young men. They suggest it is manly to smoke, even positively healthy! Smoking is associated with the great open-air life, with beautiful girls, true love and togetherness. What utter nonsense. 54. Of course tobacco can help government to raise more money. However, while money is eagerly collected in vast sums with one hand, it is paid out in increasingly vaster sums with the other. Enormous amounts are spent on cancer research and on efforts to cure people suffering from the disease. Countless valuable lives are lost. In the long run, there is no doubt that everybody would be much better off if smoking were banned altogether. 55. Smoking can provide constant consolation. When I feel worried or nervous, I just get a cigarette and everything seems to get right. After a day's hard work, the thing I want to do most is smoking. It can be even better with a cup of coffee. It's so enjoyable and relaxing that it relieves stresses of everyday life. So why bother to ban it and take the pleasure from us.

Aside from doing schoolwork and studying, American students must also participate in various extra-curricular activities. Many students get involved in their communities by doing volunteer work at various local organizations. In fact, the school I attend even requires students to perform a certain number of hours of volunteer work per semester. It is part of our study hall(自修课) grade, as well as a graduation requirement.

There are many places to do volunteer work in the community. Some of my classmates volunteer at the local animal shelter, the community table (which provides free meals for needy families), charity(慈善) stores, and many others. Finding a suitable place to volunteer usually depends on what’s available, as well as personal interests. For example, a friend of mine who enjoys swimming volunteers at the recreation center to teach young children how to swim.

With all these options out there, I ended up doing most of my volunteer work at a school library and a non-profit bookstore called Friends of the Library. This bookstore sells donated books at cheap prices, and all the profits made are donated to the local library.

I thought it was very fitting that I do my volunteer work at a library and a bookstore, because reading has always been very important to me. I love working in the bookstore now, because every sale we make helps our public library expand, and gives it the funds needed to purchase new books.

I think everyone should have the opportunity to read, and that we each should do our part to help those who don’t have the chance. There is a charity event, called One Book for A Window of Opportunity, in which Chinese students can donate a book to the children of the poor village Fangmaping. They don’t have a lot of resources, so reading can be a challenge. To find out more about this event, please visit: http://bbs.enfamily.cn/thread-739278-1-1.html. 

54. This passage is written by _____.

  A. a Chinese student      B. an American student     C. a Chinese teacher        D. an American teacher

55. This passage is supposed to write to ____.

  A. villagers in Fangmaping                                B. the writer’s parents

  C. Chinese readers                                    D. American readers

56. The writer chose to do volunteer work at _____.

  A. a local animal shelter                             B. a charity store

  C. a recreation center                                       D. a library and a bookstore

57. By writing the article, the writer hopes to _____.

  A. meet the graduation requirement                  B. look for another volunteer job

  C. get more chances to read                      D. encourage people to offer help

About friendship

Section B

We often say, “A friend in need is a friend indeed.” But what is the exact meaning of friendship? No one can really offer a definite concept, because different people hold various views on friendship.

Everyone has his own friendship and some have a lot of friends.But in fact, quantity is not so important as quality.Loyalty is the most important for friendship.No one wants to make friends with those who will betray them.

No matter whether you are married or not, no matter where you live and work, your friends are your friends.It is not based on bloodline.It relies on your intention.To you, some friends are fun-loving, some give encouragement, some offer knowledge, and others help you to find your own identity.Before your friends, you may act as a supervisor, a learned brother, a lovely child, a gentleman or a playmate.In a word, friendship helps you to be a full person.So friendship can benefit.
