While the characteristics of friendship might vary from one country to another, people from all cultures not only enjoy friends but need them.‎ ‎　　Many studies have shown that teenagers who have no friends often suffer from psychological disorders. It has been shown that teenagers, perhaps more than any other age group, need ‎ companionship and a sense of belonging. The negative consequences of loneliness have also been observed among the elderly. The death of a spouse often leaves a widow or a widower totally bereft. If, however, they are surrounded by friends and relatives and if they are able to express their feelings, they are more likely to recover from their grief。‎ ‎　　“No man is an island.” In other words, we are all parts of society. We all need the love, admiration, respect and moral support of other people. If we are fortunate, our friends will provide us with all of these necessary aspects of life.‎ ‎　　As most people observe, there are many levels of friendship. The degree or intensity of friendship varies depending on the personality of the individuals involved and the context of the relationships. Outgoing persons enjoy being surrounded by many people whereas shy persons are perhaps content with fewer but more intense friendships。‎ ‎　　Everyone is not equally open with all their friends. The degree of closeness is determined by many factors. Close friends can be formed at any stage in one’s life but they are usually very rare. Not very many people have more than a few really close friends. Irrespective of the level of closeness, all friendships are based on reciprocity（互惠）, honesty and a certain amount of love and affection。‎ ‎　72 “No man is an island”(Line 1, Para. 3) implies that ______________。‎ ‎　　A. everyone is a part of an island B. man cannot be an island ‎　　C. everyone is just a part of society D. society is an island ‎　73. The degree of closeness of friendship mainly depends on_____________。‎ ‎　　A. age B. belonging C. personality D. culture ‎　74. The author thinks that close friends_____________________。‎ ‎　　A. can be easily formed when one is young B. cannot be long-lasting ‎　　C. are not rare for everyone D. are rare for most people ‎　75 .The word “irrespective”(Last sentence, Para. 5) means______________________。‎ A not respecting B. dishonoring C. regardless.

As more and more people choose to live close together in cities, the waste disposal problem becomes increasingly difficult. ‎ During the eighteenth century, it was usual for several neighboring towns to get together to select a faraway spot as a dump site. Residents or trash haulers (垃圾拖运者) would transport household rubbish, rotted wood, and old possessions to the site. Periodically some of the trash was burned and the rest was buried. The unpleasant sights and smells caused no problem because nobody lived close by. Factories, mills, and other industrial sites also had waste to be disposed of. Those located on rivers often just dumped the unwanted remains into the water. Others built huge burners with chimneys to deal with the problem. ‎ Several facts make these choices unacceptable to modern society. The first problem is space. Dumps, which are now called landfills, are most needed in heavily populated areas. Such areas rarely have empty land suitable for this purpose. Property is either too expensive or too close to residential neighborhoods. Long distance trash hauling has been a common practice, but once farm areas are refusing to accept rubbish from elsewhere, cheap land within trucking distance of major city areas is nonexistent. Awareness (意识) of pollution dangers has resulted in more strict rules of waste disposal. Pollution of rivers, ground water, land and air is a price people cannot longer pay to get rid of waste. The amount of waste, however, continues to grow. ‎ Recycling efforts have become common place, and many towns require their people to take part. Even the most efficient recycling programs, however, can hope to deal with only about 50 percent of a city's reusable waste.‎ ‎64. The most suitable title for this passage would be .‎ A. Places for Disposing Waste B. Waste Pollution Dangers C. Ways‎ of Getting Rid of Waste D. Waste Disposal Problem ‎65. During the 18th century, people disposed their waste in many ways except for .‎ A. burying it B. recycling it C. burning it D. throwing it into rivers ‎66. What can be inferred from the third paragraph?‎ A. Farm areas will continue accepting waste from the city in modern society.‎ B. There is cheap land to bury waste in modern society.‎ C. It is difficult to find space to bury waste in modern society.‎ D. Ways to deal with waste in modern society stay the same.‎ ‎67. The main purpose of writing this article is to .‎ A. draw people's attention to waste management B. warn people of the pollution dangers we are facing C. call on people to take part in recycling programs D. tell people a better way to get rid of the waste ‎5、（2010·吉林省吉林一中冲刺）‎ Babies are born yogis. Once we were all able to pull our toes up by our ears and laugh about it. Then we aged, got injured, and began carrying stress in our shoulders and back. In short, we lost our balance.‎ Yoga（瑜伽） is an ancient practice that helps create a sense of union in body, mind, and spirit. It brings us balance. I was seriously out of balance when I started practicing yoga in 1999. I had plantar fascitis in both feet, and my doctor had warned me against all the things I loved to do: walking, hiking, and playing tennis. I was desperate for exercise. Yoga became my salvation and even enhanced my other fitness activities. I practice yoga at least twice a week, but I consider yoga to be part of my daily life because after a while you no longer just practice yoga—you love it.‎ Yoga becomes part of your physical life. Your body grows stronger, more toned, and more flexible as you move from one pose to the other. I spent a week in Mexico at a yoga retreat, and it was the first vacation on which I lost weight. “Rather than building muscle, yoga builds muscle tone,” says Shakta Kaur Khalsa, author of the K.I.S.S. Guide to Yoga. “Because yoga helps maintain a balanced metabolism (新陈代谢), it also helps to regulate weight. Additionally, yoga stretches muscles lengthwise, causing fat to be removed around the cells.” I do yoga poses throughout the day. After hours at my computer, I stretch my stiff shoulders and arms. When I need a boost of energy, I do energizing poses. When I am feeling exhausted at the end of the day, I do restorative poses. ‎ Yoga becomes part of your mental life. Yoga teaches you to focus on breathing while you hold the poses. This attention to breath is calming; it dissolves stress and anxiety. I use yogic ‎ breathing on the tennis courts, in the dentist’s chair, and in traffic jams. You should always leave a yoga practice feeling energized, not tired. If you feel tired after yoga, it means you spent the time “fighting” yourself, trying to force yourself into poses. In yoga, you “surrender” to the pose by letting go of the tension.‎ Yoga becomes part of your spiritual life. Yoga is practiced by people from all religions; it is not restricted to any religious group. Yoga teaches “right” living in how we deal with ourselves and others. As I work on a difficult pose, I learn patience, forgiveness, and the value of gentleness. Yoga advocates proper eating, but you don’t have to be a vegetarian to practice yoga.‎ ‎45. What would be the best title for this passage? ‎ A. What’s Yoga? B. How I Do Yoga Poses ‎ C. The Benefits of Yoga D. The Varieties of Yoga ‎46. According to the third paragraph, yoga can help people __________.‎ A. grow taller B. lose weight ‎ C. become flexible in thinking D. make more friends ‎47. People feel tired after yoga because __________.‎ A. they consume energy in practicing yoga ‎ B. they respond well to yoga poses C. they spend too much time on yoga ‎ D. they force themselves into yoga poses ‎ ‎48. If this passage continues, what will the writer most probably write about in the next paragraph? ‎ A. Yoga as a means to keep fit. B. Different yoga poses.‎ ‎ C. Popularity of yoga all over the world. D. Encouraging people to do yoga. ‎ ‎6、 （2010·威海二模）‎ Anchors on China Central Television (CCTV) will need to do some fast talking to replace the popular English acronyms(首字母缩略词) they’re now banned from using. Shanghai Daily reports that “anchors at China Central Television have been banned from saying the English acronyms NBA, CBA, GDP, and the like in their programs.” ‎ The replacement for those handy acronyms? Chinese presenters must use the full Chinese name, standardized by the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television. ‎ Although CCTV (oops, we mean China Central Television) presenters must already have a score of at least ‎94 in their government-rated oral Mandarin proficiency exam, saying the full name of organizations like the CBA or WTO ― 10 and 6 character’s long separately ― is sure to challenge even the most skillful anchors. CCTV sports anchor Sun Zhengping tells Shanghai Daily, “A full Chinese explanation of the English initials must be followed if my tongue slips. It is a little trouble but a necessary one because not every audience member can understand the initials.” ‎ Although the government isn’t giving any official explanation for the shift, it is believed to have to do with a proposal by Huang Youyi, director of the China International Publishing Group, at March’s NPC meeting. In his speech, Huang said, “With more and more publications mixing Chinese with English, measures and regulations should be adopted to avoid English invading Chinese. If we don’t pay attention and don’t take measures to stop the expansion of mixing Chinese with English, Chinese won’t be a pure language in a couple of years.”‎ Although China is far from the first country to take measures to protect local languages (the French and Québécois beat them to it by a long way), acronyms are more about saving time than they are about corrupting a language, we would think. Good luck to the CCTV anchors. ‎ ‎56. CCTV anchors have to “do some fast talking” because they can no longer ______.‎ ‎ A. speak as slowly as they like B. mix English into Chinese ‎ C. use shortened Chinese expressions D. have so much time for their program ‎57. According the writer, “CBA” is supposed to be replaced with “______” by CCTV anchors.‎ ‎ A. 中国男子篮球甲级联赛 B. 中国篮球协会全国男女篮球职业联赛 ‎ C. 中国篮球联赛 D. The Chinese Basketball Association ‎58. When Sun Zhengping said “if my tongue slips”, he meant “if I _____”.‎ ‎ A. habitually use an English acronym B. speak a little bit too fast ‎ C. make a mistake in pronunciation D. say something impolite or improper ‎59. What’s Huang Youyi’s proposal?‎ ‎ A. Using full English names instead of short forms.‎ ‎ B. Translating Chinese terms into proper English.‎ ‎ C. Avoiding Chinese words mixing into English.‎ ‎ D. Keeping our mother tongue as a pure language.‎ ‎60. What’s the main idea of the last paragraph？‎ ‎ A. China has fallen behind in the matter. B. The ban is not necessary.‎ ‎ C. Chinese shouldn’t be corrupted. D. CCTV anchors will have a hard time./‎ 答案 ‎1、BBCD ‎2、CCDC ‎3、BDAC ‎4、D B C A ‎5、45-48 CBDD ‎ ‎6、56-60 BAADB ‎【真题在线】‎ ‎1 （2010·全国卷II·C）‎ ‎    Thousands of people living in the Chinese capital will celebrate the start of the Chinese New year by heading for the ski resorts (滑雪场). Never mind that Beijing's dry weather seldom produces snow. It is cold enough in winter for snow-making machines to make a covering for the hills north to the capital. And the rapid growth of a pleasure-seeking middle class has formed the basis for this new craze(热潮）.‎ Since Beijing's first ski resort was opened ten years ago, the sport has enjoyed astonishing increase. There are now more than a dozen resorts. Clothes markets in the city have added bright colored ski suits to their winter collections. Mr. Wei, a manager of a newly-opened ski resort in Beijing, sees the growth of an industry that could soon lead Chinese to head for the ski resorts of Europe. In recent years ski resorts offering natural snow have opened in China. But many are in faraway areas of the country and can't really match the equipment and services of some ski resorts in Europe.‎ Beijing's skiing craze is partly a result of the recent increase in private (私有的) cars. This has led to the growth of a leisure industry in the capital's suburbs (郊区), which until the late-1990s were unreachable to ordinary people. According to Mr. Wei, about 40% of the visitors to his resort come in their own cars. The rest are bused in by schools, businesses or government offices.‎ The problem is making money. Starting ski resorts requires quite a lot of money: hiring land from the local government, preparing the hills, buying snow machines, making sure there are enough water and electricity to run them, and buying ski equipment for hiring out to customers.‎ ‎    The ski resort where Mr. Wei works cost nearly $‎4m to set up. And, as so often in China when someone comes up with a good idea, many others rush in and price wars break out. Beijing now offers some of the cheapest ski training classes in the world, though with most people rather new to the sport, expecting a few more doing the same job.‎ ‎50. What does this text mainly talk about?‎ ‎    A. Convenience for skiers brought about by private cars.‎ ‎    B. Skiing as a new way of enjoying one's spare time.‎ ‎    C. Things to be considered when starting a ski resort.‎ D. A sudden increase of ski training classes in Beijing.‎ ‎51. Why are some Chinese likely to go skiing in Europe?‎ ‎    A. To visit more ski areas.               B. To ski on natural snow.‎ C. For a large collection of ski suits.      D. For better services and equipment.‎ ‎52. The underlined words "leisure industry" in Paragraph 3 refer to______. ‎ ‎     A. transport to ski resorts             ‎ ‎ B. production of family cars ‎     C. business of providing spare time enjoyments ‎     D part-time work for people living in the suburbs ‎ 53. What is the main problem in running a ski resort?‎ ‎      A. Difficulty in hiring land.             B. Lack of business experience.‎ ‎      C. Price wars with other ski resorts,      D. Shortage of water and electricity,‎ ‎【文章大意】本文主要就北京郊区建起滑雪场的事情，很多中产阶层的人们开始追求这种热潮。‎ ‎50. 【解析】选B。主旨大意题。本文主要就北京郊区建起滑雪场的事情，很多中产阶层的人们开始追求这种热潮。故选B。另外，本文也属于新闻体裁，由第一段可知主旨大意。‎ ‎51. 【解析】选D。细节理解题。根据第二段的Mr. Wei, a manager of a newly-opened ski resort in Beijing, sees the growth of an industry that could soon lead Chinese to head for the ski resorts of Europe以及此段的最后一句But many are in faraway areas of the country and can't really match（敌得过）the equipment and services of some ski resorts in Europe.可知。‎ ‎52. 【解析】选C。词义猜测题。leisure industry指“休闲娱乐业”。 仔细理解“And the rapid growth of a pleasure-seeking middle class has formed the basis for this new craze(热潮）”. 以及“Beijing's skiing craze is partly a result of the recent increase in private (私有的) cars. This （指上一句的内容） has led to the growth of a leisure industry in the capital's suburbs (郊区), which until the late-1990s were unreachable to ordinary people.”两句内容，可推知划线词汇应为“休闲娱乐业”之意。由此可知选C。‎ ‎53. 【解析】选C。细节理解题。第四段提到的是资金的问题，因为建滑雪场要涉及到很多问题如从政府租地、准备小山、买造雪机器、保证有足够的水电来运作以及买租给顾客的滑雪设备等。由此可知A项只是资金的问题的一个方面，D项与此部分的内容不符。根据最后一段的The ski resort where Mr. Wei works cost nearly $‎4m to set up. And, as so often in ‎ China‎ when someone comes up with a good idea, many others rush in and price wars break out. Beijing now offers some of the cheapest ski training classes in the world可知，由于很多人都蜂拥去建滑雪场，打起价格战，致使资金投入很多，但收益不是很大。由此可知C项才是主要的问题。B选项在文中未提及。‎ ‎2 （2010·天津卷·B）‎ Why play games? Because they are fun, and a 1ot more besides. Following the rules…planning your next move...acting as a team member…these are all “game” ideas that you will come across throughout your life.‎ Think about some off the games you played as a young child, such as rope-jumping and hide-and-seek. Such games are entertaining and fun. But perhaps more importantly, they translate life into exciting dramas that teach children some of the basic rules they will be expected to follow the rest of their lives, such as taking turns and cooperating (合作) .    ‎ Many children’s games have a practical side Children around the world play games that prepare them for work they will do as grown-ups. For instance, some Saudi Arabian children play a game called bones. Which sharpens the hand-eye coordination（协调）needed in hunting.‎ Many sports encourage national or local pride. The most famous games of all, the Olympic Games, bring athletes from around the world together to take part in friendly competition. People who watch the event wave flags, knowing that a gold medal is a win for an entire country, not just the athlete who earned it. For countries experiencing natural disasters or war, an Olympic win can mean so much.‎ Sports are also an event that unites people. Soccer is the most popular sport in the world. People on all continents play it—some for fun and some for a living. Nicolette Iribarne, a Californian soccer player, has discovered a way to spread hope through soccer. He created a foundation to provide poor children with not only soccer balls but also a promising future.‎ Next time you play your favorite game or sport, think about why you enjoy it, what skills are needed, and whether these skills will help you in other aspects of your life.‎ ‎41.

D．Sports increase a country’s competitiveness.‎ ‎【文章大意】为什么打比赛?因为有趣并且还能学到很多知识，比如“遵守规则”了,“计划你的下一个行动”了, “成为一个好队员”等，这些都是你要一生才会领会的比赛精神。‎ ‎41.【解析】选B。细节理解题。从第二段中…that teach children some of the basic rules they will be expected to follow the rest of their lives, such as taking turns and cooperating (合作) (教孩子一些他们后半生期望遵从的基本规则,比如按顺序和合作)可知答案选B：通过玩捉迷藏,期望孩子们学会遵从基本规则。‎ ‎42.【解析】选C。猜测词义题。根据第二段最后一句话可以猜出答案：使那些生活中要遵从的基本规则通过捉迷藏而学到,也就是说学习生活的技能更加有趣，所以选C。‎ ‎43.【解析】选A。推理判断题。第四段的段落大意是Many sports encourage national or local pride(许多体育运动激励民族自豪感)，并且举了奥运会的例子,所以奥运会激发了人们对祖国的深爱。‎ ‎44.【解析】选C。推理判断题。倒数第二段最后一句话He created a foundation to provide poor children with not only soccer balls but also a promising future.的意思是：他创立基金会是为了给贫穷的孩子们不但提供足球而且提供一个有前途的未来,言外之意也就是给贫穷的孩子一个过更好生活的机会。所以C选项是对的。注意B项是干扰项,not only…but also..强调的是后者,不是前者。‎ ‎45.【解析】选A。推理判断题。从最后一段可以推断出来,下次你玩你最喜欢的运动时想一想为什么喜欢,需要什么样的技能,以及是否这些技能会对你一生中的其它方面有所帮助,通过这个事实细节可以推断出来体育运动会使你终生受益，B项是事实细节；C和D项与文章不符合。故答案选A。‎
