The idea that popularity could have a serious influence on ones earning potential shouldnt come as too much of a surprise.The researchers noted that if you want to get ahead in life，social skills and networking are easily as powerful as talent and hard work.“If a person has lots of friends，it means that he or she has the ability to get along with others in all kinds of different situations，” said Xu Yanchun,17，from Shantou High School in Shenzhen，who totally agreed with the recent finding.“Also，friends always help each other.They not only create wider social circles for you but lift your mood when you are occasionally in low spirits，”said Xu.She believed that all this helps you “earn a higher salary”Maybe thats why some people think the younger generations are in the age of Friendaholism (交友狂症)A woman even complained that the networking website Facebooks 5,000­friend limit was too low for her large reserve of social contacts.But what does a friend mean? Should friends be regarded as a form of currency?“Call me uncool，but I think of a friend as an actual person with whom I have an actual history and whom I enjoy actually seeing.It seems，however，that this is no longer the definition of a friend，”said Meghan Daum，who works with the Los Angeles Times in the US.Daum dislikes the idea that quantity trumps quality in the age of Friendaholism.She thought the idea of friendship，at least among the growing population of Internet social networkers，was to get as many of not­really­friends as possible.For example，a friend might be someone you might know personally but who could just as easily be the friend of a friend of some other Facebook friend you don t actually know.Although she agreed that social ties grease (润滑) the wheels of life，she also warned，“Too bad one thing money cant buy is a real friend.”1What can friends do in the eyes of Xu Yanchun?AThey can help you with your schoolwork.BThey teach you how to make more money.CThey help you to get rid of sadness and cheer up.DThey introduce their friends to you.解析：选C。细节理解题。从第三段中的“They not only create wider social circles for you but lift your mood when you are occasionally in low spirits”可知，当你情绪低落时，朋友会帮你振作，故答案选C项。2What will be needed if you are to achieve success according to the researchers?ASocial skills，friends，good mood and fortune.BSocial skills，networking，talent and hard work.CSocial skills，networking，potential and fortune.DSocial skills，talent，hard work and Facebook.解析：选B。细节理解题。从第二段最后一句可知，答案选B项。3We learn that Meghan Daums attitude towards friends is somewhat_.Aup­to­date BoptimisticCconfused Dtraditional解析：选D。推理判断题。从最后两段Meghan Daum说的话以及对她的观点的陈述可推知Meghan Daum对“朋友”的看法是比较传统的，所以选D项。4What does the underlined word“trumps”in the last paragraph mean?Ais better than Bis equal toCis worse than Dis similar to解析：选A。词义猜测题。该段第一句话是本段的主旨句，由下文的论述和例证可知此处画线词是“胜过，超过”的含义，所以选A项。B(2013·广西高考命题研究专家原创卷六)August weather in California varies：the weather on the ocean is close to perfect and very dry，the desert is terribly hot，and the inland areas can be oppressively hot at times.Here are some examples of the normal and record high and low temperatures，typical for various California cities in August.Santa Monicanormally the high is a very comfortable 74 degrees Fahrenheit and the low is 54.A very hot 103 degrees was once recorded in Santa Monica in August，while the record low was 43，well above freezing and not too bad for a record low.Rain is all but non­existent in Santa Monica in August.A light jacket and long pants would be a good idea if you are visiting Santa Monica in August.San Franciscothe regular temperature averages was 72 for a high and 55 for a low.San Francisco once reached 100 degrees in August，while the low for the past 78 years was 42.The average rainfall is less than a tenth of an inch.Bring cool and warm weather clothes if you are traveling to San Francisco in August.Santa Barbarain the last 69 years，the highest temperature recorded in Santa Barbara in August was 101 degrees，while the record low was 47.The high averages 78 degrees and the low averages 58.Like most of the state rain is beyond rare in Santa Barbara in August.Los Angelesthe weather in Los Angeles in August is a little more variable，but to a large part that is because Los Angeles is larger and the temperatures inland are less constant.LA averages a high of 77 degrees and a low of 65.The record high is 98 and the record low is 51.Los Angeles receives very little precipitation(降水量) in August，less than 2 inches on average.【语篇解读】本文介绍了加利福尼亚州几个主要城市在八月的天气特点：凉爽，温差较大，干燥少雨。5What do the four cities mentioned in the passage have in common?AThey are all typically cold.BThey are all terribly hot.CThey are all extremely dry.
