A high school history teacher once told us, “If you make one close friend in school, you will be most fortunate. A true friend is someone who stays with you for life.” 36 teaches that he was right. A good friendship is not easily 37 .
It is possible that we simply do not stay in one place long enough for a 38 friendship to 39 . However, there can be 40 disagreement on the need for each of us to think carefully about the kinds of friendships we want.
To most of us, friendships are considered very important, but we need to be clear in our 41 the kinds of friendships we want. Are they to be close or 42 at arm’s length? Do we want to 43 ourselves or do we want to walk on the surface? For some people, many friendships on the surface are 44 enough — and that’s all right.

What are some of the 50 of friendship? The greatest is the attraction to expect too much too soon. Deep relationships 51 time. Another “major difficulty” is the selfishness to think one “possesses” the other, including his time and attention. Similarly, friendships 52 actions in return. In 53 words, you must give as much as you take. Finally there is a question of taking care of the friendship. Unless you spend 54 time together, talking on the phone, and writing letters, friendships will die 55 .

第三节：阅读理解 (A)
On a tiny island, just 5.5 miles long, you can live like royalty (皇室) for just $130 a night in Balfour Castle. Shapinsay, one of the seventy Orkney Islands, is just a few hours by ferrying (摆渡) off the northern coast of Scotland, but staying at Balfour is like stepping back in time into a quieter, nobler world. The dozen or so guests who can be served at the 150-year-old estate stay in oak-paneled rooms with 19th century furniture and eat like kings around a long table. (A big English breakfast and three-course dinner are included in the price.) During the day, you can hike around the island on nearly empty roads, seeing more sheep and cows than people, the horizon of sea and clouds continually in view. Or take a pleasing stroll through the 700 acres of garden and woods on the estate grounds. On chilly (rather cold) Orkney evenings, sit in front of a mating fireplace and read one of the 4,000 leather-bound books in the castle library. For a unique vacation experience, ferry across the North Sea to another world at Balfour Castle.
56.The advertisement implies that _________.
A. there aren’t many guest rooms at the castle B. the beaches on Shapinsay are beautiful
C. a king once owned the castle D. the castle is large
57. What does the advertisement writer suggest as a daytime activity?
A. Riding the ferry. B. Swimming. C. Reading. D. Walking.
58. Which of the following statements about Shapinsay can NOT be inferred from the passage?
A. People on the island like to read. B. The island is fairly flat.
C. Many people raise sheep and cattle. D. The population of the island is small.
（B）
The Chinese team’s performance at the Olympic Games in Greece has been inspiring!
We made unexpected breakthroughs in events in which we were considered weak as well as having unexpected failures in areas where we were considered to be strong. As a big fan, I shared tears of joy and disappointment. Moreover, I have given a lot of thought to athletic competition and I have come to the conclusion that attitude is one of the key reasons for success.
The Chinese men’s basketball team probably serves as the best example. Their first couple of games were terrible. Nobody except Yao Ming had the confidence in the games. After they had lost several games, they actually had nothing to lose when they faced the former inter- national champion. To our surprise, the Chinese team beat them by one point.
Had they improved their skills? Of course not. No team or athlete in the world has found the secret of achieving a sudden improvement in skill. It was their attitude that had changed.
For the gold medallists of the women’s volleyball team, it was also their “winning” attitude that led them to their final success. From the first game to the final, all their opponents (对手) had advantages compared with the Chinese team in terms of skill. In the end, it was not the Chinese team’s super skill that defeated the Russians after China had lost the first two sets, but their attitude in both understanding themselves and their opponents. It was their attitude that gave them confidence. They were neither too proud nor too pessimistic.
Such an attitude is also something called “professionalism”. In the women’s over 67kg taekwondo final, the French competitor did not perform well against Chen Zhong, the Chinese gold medallist. She did not perform “professionally” due to her having the wrong attitude.
To compete professionally means to bring your full potential (潜能) into play. You have nobody to blame if you do not show your abilities when the chance comes.
Having the right attitude or professionalism is not only for the sports field but also for other aspects of life. If you are not prepared, chance never knocks.
59. Which of the following statements is true?
A. Yao Ming didn’t try hard at the beginning of the competition.
B. Only a few Chinese gold medallists have found the secret of achieving an improvement in skill.
C. The winning attitude of the Chinese women’s volleyball team led them to the gold medal.
D. In the writer’s opinion, Chen Zhong was beaten by a French competitor because she had the wrong attitude.
60. The underlined word “pessimistic” in Paragraph 5 means ________.
A. hopeful B. lucky C. skillful D. worried
61. From the passage, we can infer that _________.
A. if you are not good at something, give up! B. if one has the right attitude, he will have the chance to succeed.
C. the Chinese men’s basketball team can never beat the Americans because they are too strong.
D. if you are in a difficult situation, chance never knocks.
(C)
I came to study in a Western country a year ago. Yet I did not know its society until I was injured in a car accident. That is because, after the accident, I had to see a doctor and go to court.
After the accident, my roommate called in a doctor for me. I was very grateful and determined to repay him one day. But the next day, he asked me to pay him $200 for what he had done. I was astonished. He had good reason to charge me, he said. And if I wanted to collect money from the person who was responsible for my injury, I’d have to have a good lawyer. Now that he had helped me to find a good doctor, it was only fair that I should pay him.
But every time I went to see the doctor, I had to wait about 50 minutes. He would see two or three patients at the same time, and often stop treating one so as to see another. Yet he charged me $115 each time. The final examination report consisted often lines, and it cost me $215.
My lawyer was all smiles the first time we met. But after that he avoided seeing me at all. He knew very well the other party was responsible for the accident, yet he hardly did anything. He simply waited to collect his money. He was so irresponsible that I decided to dismiss him. And he made me pay him $770.
Now I had to act as my own lawyer. Due to my inexperience, I told the insurance company the date I was leaving the country. Knowing that, they played for time, and I left without getting a cent.
My experiences taught me two things about the reality in some countries. Firstly, in a country like this, money is everything. It is more important than friendship, honor, or professional morality. Secondly, foreigners are still being unfairly treated. So when we talk about the Western world, we should see both its good and bad sides.
62. The author’s roommate offered to help him because _______.
A. he felt sorry for the author B. he thought it was a chance to make some money
C. he knew the doctor was a very good one D. he wanted the author to have a good lawyer
63. A good lawyer was important for the author to _________.
A. be treated properly B. talk with the person responsible for the accident
C. recover before he left that country D. get the responsible party (当事人) to pay for his injury
64. The underlined part “played for time” most probably means “________ ”in Chinese.
A. 悠闲时光 B. 拖延时间 C. 不知所措 D. 高效做事
65. We can see from this story _______.
A. going to court is something very common in that country B. one must be very careful while driving a car
C. there are more bad sides in that country than good sides
D. money is more important than other things in that country
(D)
Designers challenged to build “city on ice”
Researchers will face the world’s most difficult building challenge: to design a hotel and workshop on an Antarctic ice shelf.
The five attempts before the new Halley Bay research station — always home to at least 16 people, and 50 in summer — would sink by at least a meter a year as the ice melted under them and the snow built up around them.
Temperatures drop to as low as -55℃, so building outdoors is only possible in January and February, when the average temperature is -5℃. There are also no building suppliers for 3,000 miles.
“It isn’t just a little group of scientists. You are running a small city,” said Chris Rapley, the director of the British Antarctic Survey, which will run the 19 million pounds project. “You have your power supply, you’ve got your waste disposal (处理), and you’ve got your general maintenance (维护), your communication, and so on.”
“It’s an airport because our aircraft land there. It’s a seaport — when the ship comes in, you have to take out the new materials and put the waste inside. It’s a very difficult operation.”
British scientists have worked on the sea ice at Halley Bay for almost 50 years. It was there that the “hole” in the ozone layer (臭氧层) was first spotted in 1985.
The design competition for the new base will be held at the Royal Institute of British Architects in London.
66. According to the passage, the most difficult challenge is ________.
A. designing a hotel and workshop on an Arctic ice shelf
B. designing a hotel and workshop on an Antarctic ice shelf
C. designing a hotel and workshop in the desert D. designing a hotel and workshop on the moon
67. The reason why Halley Bay research station tended to sink at the rate of at least a meter a year is that _______.
A. the ice melted beneath them B. the building was too heavy
C. snow built up around them D. both A and C
68. According to the passage, which statement is NOT true?
A. Building outdoors will be possible only in January and February.
B. There will be few building suppliers for 3,000 miles.
C. In the “city on ice” that will be built, you can have a power supply and communication.
D. In the “city on ice” that will be built, you will have waste disposal and general maintenance.
69. The new “city on ice” is a very difficult operation because ________.
A. there is an airport where the aircraft can land
B. there is a seaport for ships to come into with materials that can be offloaded
C. there is a power supply, waste disposal, general maintenance, and communication
D. all of the above
70. Halley Bay research station is very famous and plays an important role for science because _________.

B. it is there that the temperatures drop as low as -55℃
C. it was there that the “hole” in the ozone layer was first spotted
D. it is there that the average temperature is -5℃

The Peales were a famous family of American artists. Charles Willson Peale is best remembered for his portraits of leading figures of the American Revolution. He painted portraits of Franklin and Jefferson and over a dozen of George Washington. His life-size portrait of his sons Raphaelle and Titian was so realistic that George Washington reportedly once tipped his hat to the figures in the picture.
Charles Willson Peale gave up painting in his middle age and devoted his life to the Peale museum, which he founded in Philadelphia. The world’s first popular museum of art and natural science mainly covered paintings by Peale and his family as well as displays of animals in their natural settings. Peale found the animals himself and found a method to make the exhibits more lifelike. The museum’s most popular display was the skeleton (骷髅) of a huge, extinct elephant, which Peale unearthed on a New York farm in 1801.
Three of Peale’s seventeen children were also famous artists. Paphaelle Peale often painted still lives of flowers, fruit, and cheese. His brother Rembrandt studied under his father and painted portraits of many noted people, including one of George Washington. Another brother, Rubens Peale, painted mostly landscapes and portraits.
James Peale, the brother of Charles Willson Peale, specialized in miniatures (小画像). His daughter Sarah Miriam Peale was probably the first professional female portrait painter in America.
71. What is the main topic of the passage?
A. The life of Charles Willson Peale. B. Portraits in the 18th century.
