Friend is worse than poison in some cases. The two sentences above are opposite and seem to be unreasonable but they can be explained as follows: the first refers to all good friends who drive us towards good while the second all bad ones who lead us to wrong ways.My ideal friend is of course a good friend whose goodness is shown below---- he has no bad likings, such as smoking and drinking. He lives in frugality(节俭). He studies hard so as not to waste his golden time. At home he honors his parents and loves his brothers; at school he respects his teachers and shares feelings of his classmates. He treats those truly who are true to him. In a word, he has all the good characters better than mine. I can follow him as a model. With his help, I am free from all difficulties.Indeed, if I have such a person as my friend, I shall never fear difficulty and I shall never know the existence of the word “failure”.56. This passage tells us ______A. how to make friends with others B. What kind of person we should make friends withC. how the writer’s friends help him D. what kind of person the writer’s friend is57. According to the writer, _______A. The more friends, the better B. We can’t have too many friendsC. A good friend must be a perfect person D. A good friend must have many good qualities58. Which of the following is closest in meaning to the underlined word?A. respects B. admires C. loves D. likes59. From the passage we can learn thatA. the writer and his ideal friend have a lot to learn from each otherB. the writer’s ideal friend has a lot to learn from himC. the writer has a lot to learn from his ideal friendD. the writer has only a little to learn from his ideal friendBMany cities around the world today are heavily polluted. Careless methods of production and lack of consumer demand for environmentally friendly products have contributed to the pollution problem. One result is that millions of tons of glass, paper, plastic, and metal containers are produced, and these are difficult to get rid of.However, today, more and more consumers are choosing “green” and demanding that the products they buy should be safe for the environment. Before they buy a product, they ask questions like these: “Will this shampoo damage the environment?” “Can this metal container be reused or can it only be used once?”A recent study showed that two out of five adults now consider the environmental safety of a product before they buy it. This means that companies must now change the way they make and sell their products to make sure that they are “green”, that is, friendly to the environment.Only a few years ago, it was impossible to find green products in supermarkets, but now there are hundreds. Some supermarket products carry labels to show that the product is green. Some companies have made the manufacturing (生产) of clean and safe products their main selling point and emphasize it in their advertising.The concern for a safer and cleaner environment is making companies rethink how they do business. No longer will the public accept the old attitude of “Buy it, use it, throw it away, and forget it”. The public pressure is on, and gradually business is cleaning up its act.60. It is clear from the text that the driving force (动力) behind green products is____.A. public caring for the environment B. rapid development of companiesC. new ways of doing business D. rapid growth of supermarkets61. The underlined word “it” in Paragraph 4 refers to_________.A. the selling point B. the company’s productC. a great demand for healthful goods D. the manufacturing of green products62. What would be the best title for the text?A. Business and people B. Shopping Habits Are ChangingC. Business Goes Green D. Supermarkets and Green Products C.If you are a male and you are reading this, congratulations: you are a survivor. According to statistics, you are more than twice as likely to die of skin cancer than a woman, and nine times more likely to die of AIDS. Assuming you make it to the end of your natural term, about 78 years for men in Australia, you will die on average five years before a woman. There are many reasons for this—typically, men take more risks than women and are more likely to drink and smoke but perhaps more importantly, men don’t go to the doctor. “Men aren’t seeing doctors as often as they should,” says Dr. Gullotta, “This is particularly so for the over-40s, when diseases tend to strike.”Gullotta says a healthy man should visit the doctor every year or two. For those over 45, it should be at least once a year. Two months ago Gullotta saw a 50-year-old man who had delayed doing anything about his smoker’s cough for a year. “When I finally saw him it had already spread and he has since died from lung cancer,” he says, “Earlier detection and treatment may not have cured him, but it would have prolonged(延长)his life. ”According to a recent survey, 95% of women aged between 15 and early 40s see a doctor once a year, compared to 70% of men in the same age group. “A lot of men think they are invincible(不可战胜的)” Gullotta says. “They only come in when a friend drops dead on the golf course and they think, ‘Geez, if it could happen to him, . . . ’”Then there is the ostrich(鸵鸟)approach, “Some men are scared of what might be there and would rather not know,” says Dr. Ross Cartmill. “Most men get their cars serviced more regularly than they service their bodies,” Cartmill says. He believes most diseases that commonly affect men could be addressed by preventive check-ups. Regular check-ups for men would inevitably place strain on the public purse, Cartmill says. “But prevention is cheaper in the long run than having to treat the diseases. Besides, the ultimate cost is far greater: it’s called premature death. ”63. What does the author state is the most important reason men die five years earlier on average than women?A. Men drink and smoke much more than women. B. Men don’t seek medical care as often as women. C. Men aren’t as cautious as women in face of danger. D. Men are more likely to suffer from fatal diseases. 64. Which of the following best completes the sentence ‘Geez, if it could happen to him, ………_’(Para. 8)?A. it could happen to me, too. B. I should avoid playing golf. C. I should consider myself lucky. D. it would be a big misfortune.
65. What does Dr. Ross Cartmill mean by “the ostrich approach”(Para. 9)?A. A casual attitude towards one’s health conditions. B. A new therapy for certain psychological problems. C. Refusal to get medical treatment for fear of the pain involved. D. Unwillingness to find out about one’s disease because of fear. 66. What does Cartmill say about regular check-ups for men?A. They may increase public expenses. B. They will save money in the long run. C. They may cause psychological strains on men. D. They will enable men to live as long as women. DIt happened one morning 20 years ago. A British scientist Alec Jeffrey came across DNA fingerprinting: He identified the patterns of genetic material that are unique to almost every individual. His discovery changed everything from the way we do criminal investigations to the way we decide family law. But the professor of genetics at the University of Leicester, UK, is still surprised, and a bit worried, by the power of the technology he released upon the world.The patterns within DNA are unique to each individual, except identical twins, who share the same pattern. The ability to identify these patterns has been used to convict(证明…有罪) murderers and to clear people who are wrongly accused. It is also used to identify the victims of war and settle disputes over who is the father of a child.Jeffrey said he and his colleagues made the discovery by accident while tracking genetic variations(变异). But, within six months of the discovery, genetic fingerprinting had been used in an immigration case, to prove that an African boy really was his parents’ son. In 1986, it was used for the first time in a British criminal case: It cleared one suspect after being accused of two murders and helped convict another man.DNA testing is now very common. In Britain, a national criminal database established in 1995 now contains 2.5 million DNA samples. The U.S. and Canada are developing similar systems. But there are fears about the stored DNA samples and how they could be used to harm a person’s privacy. That includes a person’s medical history, racial origin or psychological profile. “There is the long-term risk that people can get into these samples and start getting additional information about a person’s paternity(父子关系) or risk of disease,” Jeffrey said.DNA testing is not an unfailing proof of identity. Still, it is considered a reasonably reliable system for determining the things it is used for. Jeffrey estimates the probability of two individuals’ DNA profiles matching in the most commonly used tests at one in a billion.67. According to the text, DNA testing can NOT be used in _______ .A. doing criminal investigations B. deciding family lawC. clearing wrongly accused people D. telling twins apart68. DNA samples are not popular with all the people because _______ .A. the government in Britain establishes a criminal databaseB. the US and Canada develop similar systemsC. DNA samples can be used to harm a person’s privacyD. DNA testing is too expensive and dangerous now69. Where will you most probably find this article?A. In a guidebook. B. In a storybook.C. In a science fiction. D. In a scientific magazine.70. Which is the best title for the passage?A. Discovery of DNA testing by Jeffery B. Practice of DNA testing in courtC. DNA testing in the present situation D. Benefits and side effects of DNA testing五.任务型阅读。(10分) 请认真阅读下面短文,并根据所读内容在文章后表格钟的空格里填入最适当的单词。 If Shayne Ward didn’t join the British singing talent show in 2005, he might still be working in the local clothing shop. However, life often favors those who have the courage to try, and the nation voted him the winner. Recently, Ward came to China to promote his second album, Breathless, which came out on January 10. “Ward has got an attractive voice, and his songs have regular pattern sounds and can make listeners pleased,” said Feng Yu, a Senior 2 student who came to support him. However, the 23-year-old Ward doesn’t just have an extraordinary voice and good looks. He also has a passion for performing on stage and the determination to go after his dreams. Life has been difficult for him. He’s the youngest of a large family: three brothers and three sisters, and money was tight. To help his family, Ward left school as soon as he could. He worked in factories making everything from chocolate to clothes to cardboard boxes. But he never forgot that his true love was music. At age sixteen, Ward joined a band Destiny and spent his weekends singing Karaoke. The band auditioned(试唱)for X Factor, a singing talent show, but made no progress. A year later, Ward wanted to try alone. “I couldn’t believe I kept getting through,”he said. “I didn’t want my family to be the ones going away looking sad.” However, Ward doesn’t want to be regarded as just a talent show winner. He has proved his worth with a No.1 single and two best-selling albums. Instead of trying to predict the future, Ward only wants to enjoy his life right now. “I just carry on doing what I’m doing. That’s all ,” he said firmly. “I don’t want to look too far ahead.”

Attitude六.More and more farmers are moving to live in cities, so cities are becoming larger and larger. The farmers have chances in cities as well as difficulties. Of course there are more opportunities in cities so most of them can find jobs to earn a lot of money and live a happy life. Their children can go to school and study together with those in cities. Therefore, they are sure that their children will have a brighter future with the help of good education. But at the same time, they have a lot of challengers. For example, too many people come to cities looking for jobs, but here are not enough for them. These people then remain unemployed, and can not afford to buy houses in cities. They have to pay more for education and medical treatment. And finally many of them end up living in poverty. What can be done to help them? I think the government can do a lot to improve their conditions. More houses should be built and sold to them cheaply. Or they may rent houses instead of buying. Their children’s tuitions should also be reduced. Besides, they should enjoy equal medical insurance. I hope the farmers will be able to overcome their difficulties and live happily in cities.
