However, when she first walked past the students in the school, her excitement turned to fear, and then to loneliness over the next few days. “Why didnt anyone say hi to me or invite me to his or her lunch table? Is it because of my clothes or my hair?” she wondered. Almost every day during the first week, Anna stayed alone, thinking that there must have been something wrong with her or that nobody saw her at all!What caused Annas problem? The reason was that nobody knew her. Most people dont like talking with strangers. So its your job to volunteer to make contact with people who you want to know. The easiest way to catch their attention is to notice them first. Make eye contact with them and smile at them. When you smile at them, you are doing your best to show your kindness to them, and they are sure to understand that you are saying, “Hey, hows everything going?” In this way, you are taking the first step towards the road to friendship.When Anna realized this, she started talking to her classmates. Guess what happened? It really worked. She had made two friends by the end of the month.In fact, saying “hi” or making friends with strangers is not hard. And the joy it brings you is really great.

CThe webs that spiders (蜘蛛) build to catch insects seem weak. However, the strength of spider thread is greater than steel. Webs can even stand up to very strong storms.In each spider web, some threads are sticky (粘的), but some are not. When a spider is moving on the web, it will not step on the sticky threads. After a time the silk will lose its stickiness and become unable to catch insects. Then, spiders usually eat their own web.Now a team of scientists has worked out why the spider web is so strong. It is not just the strength of the thread, but the clever design of the web. The key to a webs success is its ability to keep its shape and strength even after some of the threads break, say scientists at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. The scientists found the thread itself has the ability to become softer or harder. So it can hold different types of heavy things.In tests, scientists used three other strong materials (材料) made into the same webs. The spider thread was six times stronger than any other material. More surprisingly, when the scientists took away up to 10 percent of the threads from different places, the web didnt become any weaker. Actually, it became up to 10 percent stronger.The spider webs clever design gives scientists many new ideas. The findings could help design safer buildings and even a new type of strong material. “Its a really good chance,” said Markus Buehler, a professor at MIT. “It may give us some new ideas for engineering.” 38. According to the passage, the spider web is strong because _.a. the spiders thread is stickyb. the thread has a lot of strengthc. the web has a clever designd. the web can keep the strength foreverA. ab B. ac C. bc D. Bd39. In paragraph 4, the scientists tests show that _.A. the spiders thread is stronger than the other three materialsB. the spiders thread is the strongest material in the worldC. the spiders thread can be as soft or hard as it needs to beD. taking away some spider thread makes the web weaker40. From the last paragraph, we learn that _.A. people can use spider webs to build houses B. the findings give people new ideas for buildingsC. there are many reasons why the spider web is so strongD. Professor Buehler will make a new type of material来源:Z&xx&k.Com41. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?A. How spiders catch insectsB. Spiders have strong websC. Spiders are clever designersD. Webs are stronger than steelDIf the rose can be said to be a special flower, then the apple can be said to be a special fruit. It is very important in American culture. American stories speak of Johnny Appleseed, who went throughout America collecting apple seeds and planting apple trees. He had a great love for nature and went through fields and farms adding richness and beauty to the country.One of the first sayings taught to school children is, “An apple a day keeps the doctor away.” This short saying encourages children to eat fresh fruit to keep healthy. If someone always says good words to a person, people will call him an “apple polisher”. This, however, is not a good name. If someone is very dear to us, we say that he or she is the “apple of our eye”. Most people believe that the fruit which Eve gave to Adam was an apple, even though the Bible (圣经) never says so. The apple, therefore, is a deep part of the language and stories of America.An apple is also delicious. Apples can be cooked in many ways, used as a dessert, and made into sweet juice. In many parts of the country during the harvest season, a popular activity is to go into an apple garden to pick apples. Washington, D. C. and New York are both famous for their apples. Finally, when its time to take a vacation to American cities, one can always visit New York, which is “the biggest apple” of all the American cities. 42. Why was Johnny Appleseed so famous?A. He had a great love of nature. B. He liked the American people.C. He went throughout the country. D. He collected apple seeds and planted apple trees. 43. What does the underlined phrase “apple polisher” in Paragraph 2 mean?A. Something for cutting apples. B. A person who likes to please others.C. A person who is dealing with fruits.D. A machine for cleaning apples quickly.44. Which of the following is TRUE with apples?A. Apples are medicine.B. Apples are the most important food.C. New York is famous for its big apples. D. The Bible says Adam was given an apple.来源:Z#xx#k.Com45.
