While I 44 our clothes, I encouraged the boys to go through their toys and 45 some of their less favorite things. Meghan watched 46 as the boys piled up useless toys in the box.
“I’ll help you find something for the little girl,” I said to her.
The boys placed the toys they had 47 to donate into one of the boxes while I filled the third box with clothes. Meghan walked up with Lucy, her worn, faded, much-loved doll 48 tightly to her chest.

A
You can hear a soft sound as they approach．They look similar to skateboards but are actually quite different．They are longboards and are rapidly becoming a more common and stylish way to
quickly get around．
Longboarding began in the 1950s，originally known as sidewalk surfing because riders would move in a way that resembled catching a wave．The boards got their name because they are much longer and wider than skateboards，usually between 90 and 150 centimeters in length．Every kind of longboard consists of trucks，four wheels and a long deck．The size and shape vary, however,depending on how a rider plans to use it．Unlike their shorter cousins，longboards are not intended for doing tricks．Their most basic use is for travel．Commuting (往返) via longboard is now common on college campuses in the U.S..However,they are good for far more than travel．
Most longboarders enjoy the feeling that the board gives，a feeling similar to surfing．But some adventurous riders want more than a feeling．The sport of speedboarding appeals to these thrill-seekers who are looking for an adrenalin (肾上腺素) rush．Speedboards are designed for riding down hills at high speeds while keeping balance．Since the sport can be dangerous，riders usually wear suits and helmets，in the event of a fall．Those who don’t have the need for speed
put their longboards to other good uses．Riders can compete in slalom (障碍赛) racing or long-distance riding，both of which require accuracy and strength．
If you want something completely unique，there is even longboard dancing．This stylish set of moves is pertormed while rolling on a board．
For feeling，speed or style，give a longboard a try．You might just discover you enjoy the ride.
56．We may learn from the underlined sentence “Unlike their shorter cousins，longboards are not intended for doing tricks” that .
A．longboards can only be used for travel
B．skateboards are meant for doing tricks
C．shorter cousins don’t intend to play jokes
D．longboards are popular on college campuses
57．If you are a thrill-seeker,you had better choose .
A．speedboarding B．slalom racing C．long-distance riding D．longboard dancing
58．The author wrote the passage to .
A．study the origin of longboards B．inform people of the latest product
C．investigate the benefits of longboards D．encourage people to take up longboarding
59．What would be the best title for the passage?
A．Commuting via Longboard B．A Feeling Similar to Surfing
C．Longboarding Getting Around D．Skateboards and Longboards
B
The World Health Organization says everyone should have a right to the health care services they need without risking financial ruin. A new WHO Report is urging countries to provide health care design to meet the special needs of their citizens.
In 2005, all 194 members of the World Health Organization set a goal of providing universal health coverage. But very few countries have reached that target, most people must use their own financial resources to pay for the health care they need.
Since health needs differ from one country to another, the new report urges every country to create its own system of health coverage. It says the services should include prevention, treatment, rehabilitation(康复) and reduction of pain, and the health care should involve communities, health centers and hospitals.
Christopher Dye is head of the WHO's Office of Health Information. He says "Every year around 150 million people in the world suffer disastrous health expense. That means they have to pay out of their own pockets for health care to a degree that they cannot possibly afford. So, how do we put in place mechanisms for financial risk protection, which will ensure that disastrous health expenses are reduced to a minimum?"
The report shows how research can help countries develop a system that makes sure their citizens receive the care they need without suffering financial ruin.
Dr. Dye says some European countries have continued supporting their social and health services even during this period of financial difficulty. He says that decision is paying off in better
health for their people.
"Saving money on health care is often a false kind of economy. If you save money on health care in the short term, you may end up spending more in the long term. So, cutting the cost of health budgets is not a sensible policy."
Dr. Dye estimates that the cost of medical care is increasing very quickly. Because of that, he says governments must find ways to pay for health care during good times and bad, and work harder to keep costs under control.
60. Why doesn’t Dr. Dye approve of cutting the cost of health budgets?
A. Because you will have to spend more in the future if you save money on health care now.
B. Because the cost of medical care is increasing very quickly.
C. Because many European countries are rich enough to support their social and health services.
D. Because cutting the cost of health care means the rising of economy.
61. From the view of Dr. Dye, during financial difficulty, it is ______ for some European countries to support their social and health services.
A. wrong B. rewarding C. risky D. silly
62. What will people do if they suffer from a serious disease without health care services?
A. They have to pay money for health care from their own pocket till none.
B. WHO helps them pay for health care.
C. They communities provides health coverage.
D. Health centers and hospitals pay for their health care.
C
Economic globalization may have various strong impacts on different world cultures. Populations may mimic the international flow of capital and labor markets in the form of immigration and the merger of cultures. Foreign resources and economic measures may impact different native cultures and may cause assimilation (同化) of a native people. Researchers are now studying the effects of economic globalization on the youth in various world populations such as Arab, South American, South East-Asian, Caribbean, and African populations. As these populations are exposed to the English language, computers, western music, and North American culture, changes are being noted in shrinking family size, immigration to larger cities, more casual dating practices, and gender roles are transformed.
Yu Xintian wrote in a cultural impact study that there were two contrary trends in culture due to economic globalization. Xintian argues that culture and industry not only flows from the west while affecting people, but he says there is also a cultural nationalization or an effect of localization that wishes to promote and protect individual cultures. He also points out that economic globalization began after World War II, while internationalization began over a century ago and is something completely different.
George Ritzer wrote about the McDonaldization of society and how fast food businesses spread throughout the United States and the rest of the world, forcing world populations to adopt fast food culture. In this book, Ritzer also writes about how other businesses have copied the McDonalds Corporation's business model for expansion and influence. In 2006, 233 of 280 or over 80% of the new McDonalds opened were overseas. In 2007, Japan had 2,828 McDonalds locations and serves as just one example of the globalized effect of international corporations. The Body Shop, a British ecologically conscious cosmetic company, represents the process of McDonaldization working in all directions. Various countries export their own versions of McDonaldization but have the same influences in standardizing world culture.
Global media news companies export information through news, radio, and internet. This creates a mostly one-way flow of information, and exposure of mostly western products and values. Companies like CNN, Reuters, and the BBC dominate the global airwaves while having a particular western point of view. Other media news companies such as Al Jazeera may offer a different point of view, but have a far smaller audience and thus effect fewer people in influence.
63. According to paragraph 2 and paragraph 3, it can be inferred that __________.
A. internationalization followed economic globalization
B. McDonalds Corporation's business model has influenced other businesses
C. economic globalization promotes and protects individual cultures
D. The Body Shop influences standardizing world culture differently
64. Which of the following can be learned from the passage?
A. the youth in Arab, South American tend to have bigger family size
B. Al Jazeera is one of the companies that dominate the global airwaves
C. Economic globalization has strong impacts on Global media news
D. Al Jazeera may have a particular western point of view
65. Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?
A. Effects of economic globalization on world cultures
B. Effects of global media news companies
C. Impacts of McDonaldization
D. Impacts of cultural nationalization
D
Teens mirror negative features of mom’s friendships
The manner by which a mother interacts with her friends serves as a role model for how an adolescent child develops his/her own peer friendships. Unfortunately, teens often pick up on the negative elements in a relationship, such as conflict and antagonism, and then copy these attitudes into their own relationships.
The new study investigated a previously understudied association—how a parent’s friendships influence the emotional well-being of their adolescent children. For the study, doctoral student Gary Glick and Amanda Rose, Ph.D., studied the development of friendships and other peer relationships during adolescence and their impact on psychological adjustment. They found that adolescents may mimic the negative characteristics of their mothers’ relationships in their own peer-to-peer friendships suggesting that mothers can serve as role models for their adolescents during formative years.
Additional findings suggest that adolescents internalize their reactions to their mothers’ conflict with adult friends which may lead to anxiety and depression.
Previous research of this type focused on elementary-aged children, but MU researchers wanted to expand their study to focus on the formative adolescent years. Youth ranging in age from 10 to 17 and their mothers were polled separately to measure perceived positive and negative friendship qualities in both groups.
Results showed that positive friendship qualities were not always imitated(仿效) by adolescents; however, negative and antagonistic relationship characteristics exhibited by mothers were much more likely to be mimicked by the youth studied. “We know that conflict is a normal part of any relationship —be it a relationship between a parent and a child, or a mother and her friends —and we’re not talking physical altercations but verbal conflicts, ” Glick said.
“But being exposed to high levels of such conflict generally isn’t going to be good for children. Parents should consider whether they are good role models for their children especially where their friends are concerned. When things go away, parents should talk with their children about how to act with their friends, but more specifically, how not to act.”
66. What does the underlined word “mimic” in the second paragraph most probably mean?
A. adopt B. influence C. copy D. change
67. Which of the following statements can be used to describe the result of the research?
A. Even a vicious( 恶意的)tiger will not eat its cubs(幼兽).
B. Like mother, like daughter
C. One man’s meat is another man’s poison
D. A friend in need is a friend indeed.
68. What can we know from Paragraph 4?
A. Researchers did similar research in this field before
B. The present research is about pupils of all age ranges
C. Many adolescent pupils nowadays are living separately with their mothers
D. The new study only measured negative friendship qualities of mothers and children
69. What can we conclude from the new study?
A. The researchers carried out the study of this kind for the first time
B. The teenagers always react to their mothers behaviour very obviously
C. The teenagers were investigated together with their mothers
D. The teenagers imitate more negative models than positive one from their mothers
70. What suggestion is made by the author to some mothers who have conflict with their friends?
A. Parents should make friends with their children’s friends.
B. Parents should force their children to do what they are told to.
C. Parents should discuss some dos and don’ts about friend-making with their children
D. Parents should expose their children to as much conflict as they can

请认真阅读下面短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入最适当的单词。注意：每空一个单词。
There are good reasons to cherish our friendships. Some years ago a public-opinion research firm, Roper Starch Worldwide, asked 2007 people to name one or two things that said the most about themselves. Friends far outranked homes, jobs, clothes and cars.
“Ironically,” says Brant R. Burleson, professor of communication at Purdue University in West Lafayette, Ind., “the better friends you are, the more likely you’ll face conflicts.” And the outcome can be what you don’t want—an end to the relationship.
The good news is that most troubled friendships can be mended.
Swallow your pride. It wasn’t easy, but that’s what Denise Moreland of Hickam Air Force Base in Hawaii did when a friendship turned sour. For nearly four months, Moreland, 45, had watched over Nora Huizenga’s two young daughters, who were living with their father on the base, while Huizenga, 40, completed training as a dental hygienist in Nevada. “I felt honored to be asked to step in,” Moreland says.
“When Huizenga returned at Christmas,” Moreland recalls, “I had so much to tell her, but she never called.”
One daughter had a birthday party, but Moreland wasn’t invited. “I felt like I’d been used,” she says. At first, Moreland swore to avoid Huizenga. Then she decided to swallow her pride and let her friend know how she felt. Huizenga admitted that she’d been so worried about being separated from her family that she’d been blind to what her friend had done to help her. Today she says, “I would never have figured out what happened if Denise hadn’t called me on it.”
When a friend hurts you, your instinct is to protect yourself. But that makes it harder to solve problems, explains William Wilmot, author of Relational Communication. “Most of us are relieved when differences are brought out in the open.”
Apologize when you’re wrong—even if you’ve also been wronged. But over the course of a friendship, even the best people make mistakes. “We don’t think clearly when we’re arguing,” says Michael Lang, a professional mediator (调解人) in Pittsburgh. Instead, says Lang, ask: “What’s going on? This doesn’t make sense.”
See things from your friend’s point of view. Sociologists Rebecca Adams Rosemary and Blieszner interviewed 53 adults who each had many friendships lasting decades. “We were curious how these people managed to sustain strong friendships for so long,” says Blieszner. Tolerance is key, the researchers learned.” It’s surprising how often a dispute results from a simple misunderstanding,” adds psychotherapist Anne Frenkel.
Accept that friendships change. “Friendships change as our needs and lifestyles change,” Wilmot observes.
Making friends can sometimes seem easy, says Yager. The hard part is keeping the
connections strong during the natural ups and downs that affect all relationships. Her suggestion: Consider friendship an honor and a gift, and worth the effort to treasure and nurture.
Title: Keep on your friendships

阅读下面的短文，然后按照要求写一篇150词左右的英语短文。
Children in kindergarten are learning social skills. For this reason, it’s important to tell the children what will make them become good citizens when they grow up. It’s up to parents, teachers and all others involved with a kid to teach these skills.
Teaching kids to pick up things by themselves is a good way to teach them not to throw things on the ground. For example, if a class has to make paper cutouts (剪下的图样), after cutting, have the children pick up the wastepaper and place it in the wastebasket.
The golden rule of good citizenship should be taught at this age. The rule is “One should treat others as one would like others to treat oneself”. Teachers should ask their students how they want to be treated. There are many answers, such as not being treated in bad manners. The teacher should explain that others don’t like to be scared, so you should not scare others either.
Following the laws is good citizenship. Proper games can be played in the classroom. Games have rules, and all students in the class should follow the rules of the games. If a child doesn’t want to follow, it is up to the teacher to explain them to the child. Teaching children about following rules should help them understand the need to obey the law when they become adults.

书面表达
The writer illustrates that it is important to teach children some skills of becoming good citizens. Therefore, he suggests teaching children to pick up things by themselves, to respect others and follow the laws.
As far as I am concerned, a civilized citizen is supposed to respect others. In public places, such as restaurants, stations or hospitals, a civilized citizen would not speak or talk loudly. Besides, a civilized citizen ought to be always ready to reach out their helping hands. Last but not the least, a civilized citizen should be aware of the significance of obeying the law.
As a senior high school student, I will do what I can to become a civilized citizen in my daily life. For example, I will pick up rubbish on the ground and put it into the dustbin. On my way to school, I will follow the traffic rules. All in all, I will do what I am expected to do. Only in this way can we make our hometown a more comfortable place for all of us to live in.
