On Easter Day, 1722, Dutch explorers(探索者)landed on Easter Island. It was the first time
Easter Islanders met people from the outside world. The strangers were about to
discover something very strange themselves —that they were on an island with hundreds
of huge stone statues (雕像). The Dutch explorers wondered where the Islanders had e from and
why and how they had built the statues. Now science is putting together the story. The first
people to arrive on the island came there around 700 A.D.. The society that developed there was
based on fishing and farming to feed a population, which grew to 12,000. Its success showed
itself in a way that has bee the island’s trademark (标记): hundreds of huge stone figures —the
moai.None of the moai was standing when scientists first arrived. People put them back up later;
but how had a Stone Age society ever made, moved and set them up there in the first place? And
why? There are nearly 900 moai on Easter Island, and while the questions about them remain
unanswered, no one doubts the years of effort that must have gone into making them. The
downfall of the Easter Islanders came from across the ocean. After 1722, it became popular for
explorers to visit Easter Island, bringing diseases. The final blow (打击) came in 1862, when slave
traders came from Peru and took away 1,500 people, one-third of the population.
46. Before the Dutch explorers arrived on Easter Island, ______.
A. Easter Island was separate from the outside world

D. the huge stone statues were upright
47. When the first explorers arrived on the island, they ______.
A. were frightened by the huge stone statues
B. were surprised by what they saw
C. set many of the moai on the island upright

48. All researchers agree that ____.
A. the natives could hardly support themselves
B. the moai must have taken a great effort to make
C. the Islanders mainly died of diseases brought by explorers
D. the explorers helped the islanders live better lives
49. The passage implies that_____.

The other day I heard a few local musicians talking: "I hate all the pianos in this town and I
hate that rubbish they play on the radio. They cannot even understand rhythm (韵律).""Nobody
wants to pay musicians anything. I’m sick of all the people who want you to play without paying
you."...One younger musician said, "There are a couple of clubs who want me to play for a few
nights a month, and I’m trying to find other places to play. I’m also planning to join in several
summer festivals this year." I really liked what the younger musician said so I made friends with
him. Attitudes are important. Whether they’re positive or negative (消极的), they’re all rubbing
off on you. If you’re around people who are always plaining or blaming (责备) others, it is
possible that you will start doing the same as well. If you spend lots of time with people who
don’t support your dreams, it is time to take a look at the people you call "friends". There is an
easy exercise you can try. Make a list of the people who you often stay with, and simply stop
spending time with the negative people on your list. Set a new standard for yourself and don’t
bee friends with people who fall below that standard. The choice is always yours to make. Of
course, this exercise is entirely different from making friends only for the good of oneself. We
really should try to help and spend time with those who are working towards a goal or dream.
51. The musicians’ conversation at the beginning is to show that ______.
A. musicians’ living conditions are not good
B. people in that town have poor taste in music
C. different people have different attitudes
D. young people are more likely to succeed
52. The underlined part "they’re rubbing off on you" in Paragraph 6 means ______.
A. they’ll push you ahead
B. they’ll have an influence on you
C. they’ll keep you from moving on
D. they’ll help you realize your dreams
53. Why did the author want to make friends with the younger musician?
A. He is more active than the others.
B. He can earn more than the others.
C. He has more things to do than the others.
D. His attitude is more positive than the others.
54. By doing the exercise mentioned in Paragraph 7, you can ______.
A. make the right kind of friends
B. improve your ability to make friends
C. develop a better relationship with your friends
D. make some new friends with the same interests as you
55. We can get the following information from the passage EXCEPT ______.
A. the younger musician is a positive person and would be a good friend
B. one will start plaining if one spends too much time with negative people
C. the exercise can help you keep close to really helpful friends
D. one should avoid making friends with people who have lots of difficulties

第二节 读写任务
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。
There are good reasons to cherish (珍爱) our friend-ships. "A well-established friendship carries a
long history of experience and interaction( 相 互影 响 ) that defines who we are and keeps us
connected," says Donald Pannen, executive officer of the Western Psychological Association. "It is
a heritage(传统)we should protect." However, says Brant R. Burleson, professor of munication at
Purdue University in West Lafayette, Ind., "the better friends you have, the more likely it is that
you’ll face conflicts (冲突)."At last, the result can be what you don’t want —an end to the
relationship. Experts agree that one of the worst things you can do when you’re upset is to start
a fight. "We don’t think clearly when we’re arguing," says Michael Lang, a professional from
Pittsburgh. Instead, says Lang, "What’s going on? This doesn’t make sense." 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 is to consider friendship as an
honor and a gift, and worth the effort to treasure and develop. The good news is that most
troubled friendships can be mended.

Dear Mike,
I read in your letter that you said you faced some difficulties getting along with your classmates in
your new school. I miss you very much and I’m worried about you. It is really a big challenge to
adjust to a new environment, but you have to do it because you will study there. You should try
to make new friends, and let them share your happiness and sorrow. I hope everything will be OK
in the end.
Yours sincerely,
John
读写任务 One possible version:
How to Mend a Broken Friendship?
We know that making friends is not as easy as it seems. Sometimes friendships end because of
small conflicts; however, troubled friendship can also be mended.
Everyone needs friendship. No one can sail the ocean of life alone. Even between good friends,
conflicts still occur. How can we mend broken friendships? Here are my suggestions.
Apologize when you’re wrong. It is mon for people to make mistakes; even the best people in the
world make mistakes. When you apologize, give your friend the opportunity to admit his or her
mistakes. What’s more, learn to think about things from your friend’s point of view. By doing so,
you can gain a better understanding of your friend. Tolerance is the key to maintaining good
friendships. We should never forget our old friends and should try to keep making new friends.
In short, we should cherish our friendship, and help our friends whenever they are in trouble.
