There is an old saying, “Friends are Gods way of taking care of us.” But how do you find real friendship and keep it?The American writer Sally Seamans tells young students some smart ways to find friends. Sally says finding friendship is just like planting a tree. You plant the seed and take care of it to make it grow.First, you should choose a friend. What makes a good friend? It is not because a person has money or good looks. A good friend should be kind and patient. For example, if you have a bad day, a good friend should listen to your complaints and do his best to help. To make a good friend, you cannot be too shy. You should make each other happy and share your lives.But things cannot always be happy. Even the best friends have fights. What should you do when you have a fight with your friend? You have to talk to him or her. When there is no one around, have an honest talk. If he or she doesnt want to talk, you could write a letter.There are three steps to being friends again:Tell him or her how you are feeling; say what your friend has done wrong, and explain why you did this or that. Remember that friendship is the most important thing in your life.56. Sally wants to tell students the ways to . A. find friends B. plant trees C. get happy D. keep fit57. What makes good friends? A good friend should . A. be lovely and cool B. be kind and patient C. have lots of money D. have good looks58. What is the best title of the text? A. Teenagers and friendship. B. The good friends around you. C. The trouble of growing up. D. The care and keeping of friends. BLast July, my 12-year-old car died on Californias Santa Freeway. It was an hour before sunset, and I was 25 miles from home. I couldnt reach anyone to pick me up, so I decided to take a bus. Not knowing the routes, I thought Is just go east.A bus stopped. I got on and asked the driver how far she was going. “Ten more miles,” she said. There was another bus I could take from here. This clearly was going to be a long night.I got off at the end of the route and she told me which bus to look for. After waiting 30 minutes, I began to think about a very expensive taxi ride home. Then a bus came up. There was no light number above its windshield. It was out of service, but the door opened. It was the same driver.“I just cant leave you here,” she said. “This isnt the nicest place. I will give you a ride home.”“You will drive me home on the bus?” I asked, astonished.“No, I will take you in my car,” she said.“Its a long way,” I insisted.“Come on,” she said. “I have nothing else to do.”As we drove from the station in the car, she began telling me a story. A few days earlier, her brother had run out of gas. A good man picked him up, took him to a service station and then back to his car. “Im just passing the favour（善意的行为）along,” she said.When I offered her money as a thank-you, she wouldnt accept. “Just do something nice for somebody. Pass it along,” she said.59. There was something wrong with the writers car .A. late at night B. early in the morningC. an hour before sunset D. thirty minutes after sunset60. The writer changed his mind after waiting 30 minutes because .A. he became impatient and a bit worried B. a taxi ride would be more comfortableC. he knew the driver would never returnD. the bus driver had given him wrong information61. The underlined word “astonished” in the passage probably means .A. surprised B. grateful C. happy D. angryCAbout ten men in every hundred suffer from colour blindness in some way. Women are luckier. Only about one in two hundred is affected in this matter. So some people say it is safer to be driven by women.There are different forms of colour blindness. In some cases a man may not be able to see deep red. He may think that red, orange and yellow are all shades（色调）of green. Sometimes a person cannot tell the difference between blue and green. In rare cases an unlucky man may see everything in shades of greena strange world indeed.Colour blindness in humans is a strnage thing to explain. In our eyes there are millions of ery small things called “cones”. These help us to see in a bright light and to tell differences between colours. There are also millions of “rods”, but these are used for seeing when it is nearly dark. They show us shapes but no colour.Some insects have favourite colours. Mosquitoes（蚊子）like blue but do not like yellow. A red light will not attract insects, but a blue lamp will. In a similar way humans also have favourite colours. Yet we are lucky. With the aid of the cones in our eyes we can see many beautiful colours by day, and with the aid of the rods we can see shapes at night. One day we may even learn more about the invisible（看不见得）colours around us.62. With the help of the cones, we can .A. see in a weak light B. tell different shapesC. kill mosquitoes D. tell orange from yellow63. Why do some people say it is safer to be driven by women?A. Women are more careful.B. There are fewer colour-blind women.C. All of them see everything in shades of green.D. None of them has trouble in recognizing（识别）colours.64. This passage is mainly about .A. colour and its surprising effects B. danger caused by colour blindnessC. colour blindness D. the invisible colours around usDSpending two or three hours playing outdoors each day can reduce a childs chance of becoming short-sighted, a research shows. It challenges the belief that short-sightedness is caused by computer use, watching TV or reading in weak light.The Australian government researchers believe that sunlight is good for peoples eyes. They compared the vision(视力) and habits of 100 seven-year-old children in Singapore and Australia. In all, 30% of the Singaporean children were short-sightedthis rate(比率) was ten times higher than Australian children.Both groups spent a similar amount of time reading, watching television and playing computer games. However, the Australian children spent an average of two hours a day outdoors90 minutes more than the Singaporean children.Professor Ian Morgan, from the Australian Research Councils Vision Centre, said, “Humans are naturally long-sighted, but when people begin to go to school and spend little or no time outdoors, the number of short-sighted people gets larger. Were also seeing more and more short-sighted children in cities all around the worldand the main reason may be that city children spend less time outdoors.”Daylight can be hundreds of times brighter than indoor light. But why does playing outside prevent us from becoming short-sighted? Scientists believe that natural light has a special chemical which stops the eyeball from growing out of shape and prevents people becoming short-sighted.So be outdoors. It doesnt matter if that time is spent having a picnic or playing sports.65. How much time did the Singaporean children spend outdoors on average every day in the research?A. 2 hours. B. 90 minutes. C. 1 hour. D. 30 minutes.66. What is the fifth paragraph mainly about?A. Why people become short-sighted.B. Why natural light has a special chemical.C. Why playing outside is good for ones eyesight.D. Why daylight is much brighter than indoor light.67. Which of the following is true according to the passage?A. People will all become short-sighted after they begin to go to school.B. Playing outdoors for 2 or 3 hours every day can help protect your eyesight.C. Children in Australia are more likely to get short-sighted than those in Singapore.D. If you spend two or three hours playing outside each day, you wont get short-sighted.第四节 作文 （26分）在学习、生活和工作中，与人合作是非常重要的，请根据下表中提供的信息，写一篇题为“Cooperating with others”英语演讲稿。为何与人合作在忙碌、现代化的社会中，要有效地完成工作，我们必须学会与人合作。可以节省时间和精力。从合作者身上学到很多。与谁合作与喜欢的人合作心情愉快，一起分享工作的快乐和痛苦。与不喜欢的人合作比较困难，但只要更多地关注我们的工作，而不是合作者本人，时间长了，会发现他是一个很好相处的人。怎样做一个好的合作者请发表自己的观点（至少两点看法）。注意：1. 对所给提示，不要简单翻译，可
