It is nice to have a friend to talk, laugh and do things with. Surely, there are times when we need to be alone. We don't always want people around. But we would feel lonely if we never had a friend.No two people are the same. Sometimes friends don't get along well, which doesn't mean that they no longer like each other. Most of the time they will go on being friends. Sometimes friends move away, then we feel very sad. We miss them much, but we can call them and write to them. Maybe we would never see them again, and we can make new friends. It is surprising to find out how much we like new people when we get to know them. Families sometimes name their children after a close friend. Many places are named after men and women, if they are friendly to people in a town. Some libraries are named this way. So are some schools. We think of these people when we go to these places.There's more good news for people, if they have friends. These people live longer than those people if those don't have friends. Why? It could be that they are happier. Being happy helps you stay well. Or it could be just knowing that someone cares, if someone cares about you, you take better care of yourself.1. Which of the following is what the writer doesn't say in the passage?A.

If people have friends, they would live longer, because _.A. they feel happier and healthier B. they get a lot of help from their friendsC. they take better care of themselves D. both A and C4. This passage tells us _.A. that people are all friends B. that people need friendsC. how to get to know friends D. how to name a place B Many animals recognize their food because they see it. So do humans. When you see an apple or a piece of chocolate you know that these are things you can eat. You can also use other senses(感官) when you choose your food. You may like it because it smells good or because it tastes good. You may dislike some types of food because they do not look, smell or taste very nice. Different animals use different senses to find and choose their food. A few animals depend on only one of their senses, while most animals use more than one sense.Although there are many different types of food, some animals spend their lives eating only one type. The giant panda eats only one particular type of bamboo. Other animals eat only one type of food even when given the choice. A kind of white butterfly will stay on the leaves of a cabbage, even though there are plenty of other vegetables in the garden. However, most animals have a more varied diet. The bear eats fruits and fish. The fox eats small animals, birds and fruits. The diet of these animals will be different depending on the season. Humans have a very varied diet. We often eat food because we like it and not because it is good for us. In countries such as France and Britain, people eat foods with too much sugar. This makes them overweight, which is bad for their health. Eating too much red meat and animal products, such as butter, can also be bad for the health. Choosing the right food, therefore, has become an area of study in modern life. 5. We can infer from the text that humans and animals _. A. depend on one sense in choosing food B. are not satisfied with their food C. choose food in similar ways D. eat entirely different food6. Which of the following eats only one type of food? A. The white butterfly. B. The small bird. C. The bear. D. The fox. 7. We can learn from the last paragraph that _. A. food is chosen for a good reason B. French and British food is good C. some people have few choices of food D. some people care little about healthy diet 8. Which of the following statements is true?A. Animals often use senses to eat their food.B. Most animals have a more varied diet.C. All animals spend their lives eating one type of food.D. The diet of birds and fox will be the same depending on the season. CAbout 97% of the worlds water is salty and is found in our oceans and seas. But, as we cant drink seawater, how can it be important? Every part of our seas and oceans contains an amazing number of animals and fish that live at different ocean depths. Most of the different species(物种) of animals and fish depend on simple plants for their food. These simple plants called algae (海藻) drift near the surface of the ocean and use sunlight to turn carbon dioxide and water into food and oxygen. In fact, algae produce over half of the oxygen people breathe. How important seawater is! Each plant or animal in our seas and oceans is an important link in a food chain(链条). The algae are eaten in large amounts by microscopic animals, which are in turn consumed by larger animals. These food chains are delicately balanced. The bad news about the food chains in the oceans is that they are under threat because of man. People once thought that the oceans were so big that it didnt matter if we dumped rubbish into them or caught huge quantities of fish and whales for food. But we now know this is not true and fish stocks in the oceans have started to drop. Thankfully, the world is taking steps to protect the future of our oceans by introducing international agreements to protect marine habitats. Most countries have introduced fishing restrictions(限制) to protect fish stocks(库存) in the oceans and new techniques are being pioneered to cope with pollution. Finally, the importance of protecting oceans is being made known to more people. This is just the beginning of a long process to protect the oceans for our future. We depend on the oceans for fish which are an important part of the human diet. How important seawater is! 9. Which of the following is the proper order of the food chain? A. small animalsalgaemicroscopic animalslarge animalsman B. algaemicroscopic animalslarge animalslarger animalsmanC. small animalsalgaelarge animalsmicroscopic animalsmanD. microscopic animalsalgaelarge animals larger animalsman10.

A. wouldnt harm the fish in the sea B. would change the balance of the food chain C. would be broken down in the sea D. wouldnt do much harm to the sea11. From the passage, we learn that _. A. most fish and sea animals live at the surface of the seasB. it is very difficult to break the balance of a food chainC. excessive(过量的) fishing has caused the decrease in fish stockD. it wont be long before the problems concerning oceans will be solved12. What would be the best title of the passage? A. The importance of sea water.B. Life in the oceans.C. How to protect food chains.D. How to deal with seawater pollution.DNow, we know that if we do not get enough vitamins, we are at risk of developing a number of diseases. As a result, vitamin supplements（补品），though expensive, are popular with people who worry that they are not getting enough vitamins from the foods they eat. But contrary to what many people think, medical experts have found little evidence that most supplements do anything to improve health or protect against disease. In fact, medical experts warn that taking too many of some vitamins can be harmful. For example, too much vitamin E can cause bleeding. People should discuss what vitamins they take with their doctors, as some vitamins can produce harmful side effects when mixed with medicines.Experts, however, do say that sometimes vitamins can help prevent disease. People who know they lack a particular vitamin should take vitamin supplements. Some older adults, for example, may not have enough vitamin B-twelve. This is because, as people get older, their body loses its ability to take it from foods. Also, people who spend much time inside may need some extra vitamin D as the skin makes this vitamin from sunlight.Different vitamins are found in different foods. Vitamin A is found in fish liver oil. It also is in the yellow part of eggs. Sweet potatoes, carrots and other darkly colored fruits and vegetables contain substances that the body can change into vitamin A. Vitamin B-twelve is found in green leafy vegetables and other foods, like fruits. Vitamin K can be found in pork products.In fact, for most people, a balanced diet can ensure enough of the vitamins our bodies need. So, it is important for us to eat a mixture of foods every day to ensure that we get enough vitamins our bodies need. 13. What is probably talked about before this passage? A. How many vitamins a persons body needs. B. How many vitamins some foods contain. C. The benefits that vitamins bring to our health. D. What people should do to stay healthy. 14. Vitamin supplements are popular with people because _. A. people mistakenly think that they are good for their healthB. they contain more vitamins than the foods people eatC. food does not provide enough vitamins people needD. people fear that a lack of vitamins will lead to disease15. What would be the best title of the passage? A. Getting enough vitamins through a balanced diet.B. Vitamin supplements do harm to our health.C. Vitamins are important to our health.D. Lacking vitamins can cause many diseases. 第二节 （共5小题，每小题 2 分，满分 10 分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。 Building Trust in a Relationship AgainTrust is a learned behavior that we gain from past experiences, 16 ._ That is a risk.
