Some people say that friendship is the only channel through which human beings can ever experience the value of life. In our daily life, it is likely that you share some common interests with others — they may like the same sport, go to the same school or like the same kind of music as you do. Since you often meet them, they become your acquaintances. Although some people develop many acquaintances, only a few become their good friends in their lifetime because there are differences between acquaintances and friends.
It is said that true friendship begins when someone knows what you are really like, but still likes you anyway. A true friend shows loyalty from the very beginning of the relationship. A friend will go through challenges to help you without expecting anything in return. A “friend” today may probably become a “true friend” tomorrow when they get involved in unexpected circumstances together with you — for example, when you are going through a difficult experience and your friend is there to help you out. However, some acquaintances might leave you when you badly need their help. At this time, you can experience what true friendship is.
In our life, some people seem to go through life with plenty of friends. They may be funny or they may have a bright and pleasant personality. For these people, wherever they go, people seem to like them and welcome their company. But when they go through challenging life experiences, some of their friends are not there to help them. Therefore we can say some of their friends are not real friends and their friendship is just skin-deep.
However, others seem to go through life with no friends at all. They like to be alone, to travel by themselves or to do their own things. It’s a pity that few of these people find success in life because they have no friends. They lack the best gift in life — friendship.
1.According to the passage, which of the following statements about acquaintances is TRUE?
A.They have all of the same interests as you do.
B.You seldom meet them in your life.
C.They are sure to become your good friends.
D.Not all of them can become your friends.
2.According to the passage you may get to know the meaning of friendship better when you ________.
A.go to the same school as your friend
B.get into trouble
C.enjoy the same kind of music as your friend
D.see your friend often
3.We know from the passage that ________.
A.it doesn’t matter whether one has friends or not
B.people with bright personality are easy to have friends
C.people without friends are always unhappy
D.it’s easier to lose a friend than to get one
4.What does the underlined word “skin-deep” in the third paragraph mean?
A.Very deep. B.Not deep at all.
C.As precious as skin. D.Hidden under the skin.
5.What’s the writer’s attitude towards people without friends in their life?
A.Interested. B.Angry.
C.Hopeful. D.Regretful.

People often say that there is nothing in the world that can be as great as a mother’s love. Some mother expressions mean just that. The phrase “mother lode” comes from mining. It means the place where the largest amount of gold can be found. But now, the term “mother lode” means a rich supply of anything. For example, you might say, “She just graduated from college and struck the mother lode with her new job!”
When we call something “the mother of all”, this means it is the biggest or best of something. Here is an example: “We are going to throw the mother of all parties this weekend. So you have to come!”
Naturally, the word “mother” can be used to mean to give birth, even to something you cannot touch, such as an idea or wisdom. The saying “necessity is the mother of invention” means that when people really need to do something, they will find a way to do it. And “experience is the mother of wisdom” means that people learn from what happens to them.
You might think all expressions about mothers are sweet and loving. Not so. A boy who is “tied to his mother’s apron strings(围裙带)” is controlled by his mother. We can also call him a “mama’s boy”. Both of these terms are even more insulting(侮辱人的) if you are talking about a man, not a young boy. It can be a huge mistake for a woman to marry a “mama’s boy” who is still “tied to his mother’s apron strings”.
A show about mothers would not be complete without talking about the very popular but mysterious “Mother Goose”. The short poems and songs that “Mother Goose” wrote are a part of growing up in the United States. Real or not, you could say “Mother Goose” is the mother of all nursery rhyme(童谣) writers.
1.The passage mainly tells us that ________.
A. all mother expressions are about nice things
B. mother is the greatest person in the world
C. there are some expressions about mother in English
D. mother’s love is the greatest thing in the world
2.If you strike the mother lode, you will ________.
A. be rich
B. get injured
C. have to work hard
D. get an easy job
3.When saying “I heard the mother of all songs”, the person means ________.
A. he heard your mother sing songs
B. mothers were good at singing
C. he loved songs about mothers
D. the song he heard was the best

Sneaker is a kind of shoe worn by many people all over the world. Some say that the word “sneaker” is another word for tennis shoe, 36 no one really knows where the word came from. 37 say it came from the old English verb “sneak”, which 38 moving silently and quickly. The only thing we are 39 is that when you put on a pair of sneakers, you 40 light-hearted, light-footed and ready to play.
Sneakers of some kind are used by 41 who play tennis, basketball, and other sports. New design has been made 42 for people who run slowly. But perhaps sneakers are 43 used by children in the United States. In fact American children of 44 ages would much rather play in sneakers than anything else, except perhaps 45 at all.
New York City once held a poetry contest (诗歌比赛) for children. The subject was only “sneaker”. Thousands of children sent in their 46 and praised the sneakers they love. One prize winner called 47 poem “The Sneaker and the World Peace”. “When everyone is wearing sneakers,” she said, “it will be impossible to 48.”
American school children can be seen every day 49 sneakers of all colours. They put them on in the morning and take them off 50. Sneakers are 51 washed. In fact the older and dirtier they are, the 52 loveable they are. When their sneakers wear out (穿破), children hate to throw them off. How do you explain the closeness between 53 ? Perhaps another young 54 in the New York Poetry Contest said it best. “A shoe is just a shoe,” he said. “But a sneaker is a 55.”

Some people say that city living in the 21 st century is stressful and offers no advantages, but I don’t agree with them completely.
With the development of high-tech and the improvement of living qualities, more and more people crowded into city, which leads to the uncontrollable urbanization (城市化). Because of this, some of the largest cities must be fairly oppressive(压抑的) places in which to live if you are short of money or unemployed. However, for those with much income, a city provides colorful environment which enables people to enjoy their modern life. In that case, I believe the advantages of urban living far outweigh from its shortcomings.
Regarding shopping, as for me, rather than click on the Internet to get what I want, I prefer to windowshop. All kinds of shopping malls and supermarkets located in city centre really content me. What’s more, a large city’s service even covers numbers of the surrounding towns and benefits many people.
In terms of entertainment, city residents are usually spoiled for choice, from amusement park to sport stadium, whoever you are will find exactly what you need. Maybe going to a concert tonight and visiting museums tomorrow. City always contains various activities and full of energy.
City also provides better opportunities with so many choices and challenges. Cities with universities offer high-standard education so that graduates from these places always get ideal jobs with considerable salary. Every day in the business district, you can see a fierce competition among those large companies, while there are exactly places that may give birth to talents.
Many people may complain about the traffic jam or pollution in the city, but I think with some useful measures to take, our city will be more habitable rather than stressful.
1.What does the author intend to tell us in the passage?
A. City living in the 21 st century is stressful.
B. City provides more conveniences and pleasures.
C. City living brings great trouble to the youth..
D. City is gradually dying out as a matter of fact.
2.The advantages of urban living are________.
A. much income and colorful environment
B. quantities of population and shopping centers
C. great entertainments and better education
D. strong measures and fresh air
3.City residents are usually spoiled for choice because they______.
A. have no more choices for amusement
B. can hardly find what they like to do
C. are so many kinds of entertainment
D. will spend more money in a way
4.What’s the attitude of the author to the disadvantages in city?
A. Disappointed B. Hopeful
C. Amazed D. Cold-hearted

Some people think that success is only for those with talent or those who grow up in the right family, and others believe that success mostly comes down to luck. I’m not going to say luck, talent, and circumstances(环境) don’t come into play because they do. Some people are born into the right family while others are born with great intelligence, and that’s just the reality of how life is.
However, to succeed in life, one first needs to set a goal and then gradually make it more practical. And, in addition to that, in order to get really good at something, one needs to spend at least 10,000 hours studying and practicing. To b
ecome great at certain things, it’ll require even more time, time that most people won’t put in.This is a big reason why many successful people advise you to do something you love. If you don’t enjoy what you do, it is going to feel like unbearable(不可忍受的) pain and will likely make you quit(放弃) well before you ever become good at it.
When you see people exhibiting some great skills or having achieved great success, you know that they have put in a huge part of their life to get there at a huge cost. It’s sometimes easy to think they got lucky or they were born with some rare talent, but thinking that way does you no good, and there’s a huge chance that you’re wrong anyway.
Whatever you do, if you want to become great at it, you need to work day in and day out, almost to
the point of addiction, and over a long period of time. If you’re not willing to put in the time and work, don’t expect to receive any rewards. Consistent(坚持不懈的), hard work won’t guarantee(保证) you the level of success you may want, but it will guarantee that you will become really good at whatever it is you put all that work into.1.What can we learn from paragraph 1?
A. the meaning of success B. the reasons for success
C. the standards of s
uccess D. the importance of success2.Paragraph 2 tells us .
A. how to succeed B. why to set a goal
