5.【题文】Too many people want others to be their friends, but they don’t give friendship back. That is why some friendships do not last very long. To have a friend, you must learn to be one. You must learn to treat your friend the way you want your friend to treat you. Learning to be a good friend means learning three rules: be honest; be generous; be understanding.

Honesty is where a good friendship starts. Friends must be able to trust one another. If you do not tell the truth, people usually find out. If a friend finds out that you haven’t been honest, you may lose your friend’s trust. Good friends always trust one another to speak and act honestly.

Generosity (大度) means sharing and sharing makes a friendship grow. You do not have to give your lunch money or your clothes of course. Instead you have to learn how to share things you enjoy, like your hobbies and your interest. Naturally you will want to share your ideas and feelings. These can be very valuable to a friend.

Sooner or later everyone needs understanding and help with a problem. Something may go wrong at school. Talking about the problem can make it easier to solve. Turning to a friend can be a first step in solving the problem. So to be a friend you must listen and understand.

No two friendships are ever exactly alike. But all true friendships have three things in common. If you plan to keep your friends, you must practice honesty, generosity, and understanding. 1. Some friendships don’t last very long because ____. A. there are too many people who want to make friends B. they don’t know friendship is something serious

C. those who give others friendship receive friendship from others D. some people receive friendship but don’t give friendship back 2. The best title of this passage is _____.

A. Honesty is the Best Policy B. A Friend in Need is a Friend Indeed

C. Three Important Points in Life D. Three Important Points in Making Friends 3. Which of the following isn’t mentioned in the passage? A. Always tell your friends the truth.

B. Sharing your mind with your friends is of great value.

C. Discussing your problems with your friend often helps to solve the problem. D. A friend who gives you his lunch money is a true friend.

8.【题文】I might be letting my young son watch too much television. I am certainly watching too many of his programs. They can really be difficult to understand as they force you to think hard about the mysteries of life. For example, when Franklin (the turtle(乌龟))wanted a pet, his parents didn’t want it to be a frog. They felt that frogs belong in a pond．Isn’t that where turtles belong?

And why is it that Little Bear’s animal friends can all talk and behave like people, but his friend Emily has a dog that can only bark? Tell me that isn’t a mystery(神秘的事物)!

Dog lovers can be reassured(安心的) by Kipper and his friends. These dogs are very human.

However, the only time they wear clothes is when they put on bathing suits to go swimming. I don’t understand! Speaking of dogs, could Pluto ever be Goofy ’s pet? I don’t get it! What did the great Mr.. Disney have in mind? And this is gross (恶心的)!The other day we watched a very nice little pig setting up a picnic．One of the foods was a big ham. Could it have been a soy (大豆) ham? Is there such a thing? I hope so!

Another thing that bothers me: What if Elmo isn’t real? He can’t be a mere puppet! He’s got a better attitude than most people. I just keep wondering.

I think we’ll turn off the TV and go out for a walk. Maybe we’ll run into that mouse who dresses well but certainly doesn’t speak as clearly as the average bear.

1．What does the underlined word “They” in the first paragraph refer to? A．Children. C．People in the TV programs.

B．TV programs.

D．Reasons why children like watching TV.

2．Why does the writer put the word “the turtle” in parenthesis (括号) Para-graph 2? A．To avoid misunderstanding. B．To show how much he dislikes it.

C．To show how stupid the programs are to have turtles in them. D．To show his son likes watching programs with animals in them.

3．What does the underlined sentence “ Isn’t that where turtles belong?” mean ?

A．Turtles should live in ponds.

B．TV companies should not make cartoons with characters of pond animals. C．He is angry with the turtle parents not letting Franklin pick his own pet. D．Turtles live in a pond, too.

4．Why does the author ask many questions?

A．Because the programs are too hard for him to understand．

B．Because he wants to show his strong feelings about the programs. C．From the passage we can tell this is his style of writing. D．They might be the questions his son asked him. 5．The author thinks it’s “gross” because ______ A．a pig cannot really have a picnic

B．a pig does not eat soy beans when that is whey really eat C．a pig should not eat expensive food like ham D．a pig should not eat something made from itself

9.【题文】One of the most successful singers of the twentieth century , Ella Fitzgerald, has made several different styles of her own. She was born in Virginia but was brought up in Yonkers, New York.

Ella Fitzgerald was the perfect musical partner for her friend, the trumpets(号手) Louis Armstrong, matching him in warmth and artistry. “ I just like music,” she has said．“To me, it’s a story.

These rules say that nature should decide what happens to the park. Alsten also writes that the elk herd(马鹿群) has grown too big. The elks walk on the riverbanks. They eat the new grass and roots of baby trees. The beavers (河狸) need the trees to build dams.

The dams raise the water levels. Higher water levels put more water into the soil. Moist soil helps plants grow faster. The plants offer homes and food to other animals.

The wolves were taken away and other animals were removed．The areas of land were fenced off and other animals added．He thinks the park rules that let herds grow too big and the fires burn are hurting the nature of the park.
