Even if you don't see them, you know they are there. And while a shooting star is a beautiful thing to observe, a dying friendship is one of the most painful things to experience. However, if you believe that it is worth trying to save it, then it is worth it. So if you are still moved by a friendship that has given you priceless moments and treasured memories, at least try to save it. While problems are unavoidable, if both of you see the value in saving what you have, focusing on fixing things may just be effective, and your connection may even come through this test stronger than before.‎ ‎    The moment you realize that the two of you have started growing apart, do something about it. Waiting will only bring about an unavoidable permanency of the loss of your friendship. Be prepared to be the one who makes the first steps; your friend may be laboring under the belief that it is something you have done to harm the friendship, so you shouldn't wait around for them to solve things.‎ ‎    As life changes around us, friendship change too. However, changes in your life don't mean that your life has to destroy your friendship. Talking openly about the changes is important, as well as accepting that the two of you have changed but still have space, love and respect for one another in your lives. If your friend has distanced himself or herself from you because of changes in your lives, take the chance to show that while life has changed, the importance of your friendship has not.‎ ‎    Make sure your friend has talked and listened, and both of you have looked for ways to reach compromises（和解）on the things that have weakened your friendship and set the relationship back on track. If you mean as much to this person as they mean to you, you will have at least made some progress in the right direction through mutual（彼此的）compromises in the end.‎ ‎    Once you have worked through the challenges facing your friendship and come to a shared solution, show your friend how much they mean to you. Start creating new memories and precious moments that will make the unpleasant page in your common history look insignificant and never worth mentioning again.‎ How to save a friendship Introduction ‎● A dying friendship makes you feel ________.‎ ‎● Try to save the friendship that（________）you of your experiences.‎ ‎● The connection between you and your friends will ________the test and become stronger if both of you ________your friendship and focus on renewing it.‎ Take ________action ‎● On realizing your relationship with your friend is not as ________as before, you had better do something.‎ ‎● Don't wait for others' actions but be ________to step forward first.‎ Know Your differences ‎● Changes in life don't ________affect friendships.‎ ‎● Prove to your friend that your friendship is still important if your friend has kept you at a________.‎ Reach a compromise Mutual compromises on things that have weakened your friendship help ________the relationship between you and your friends.‎ Move forward New memories and precious moments after the challenges help to turn the unpleasant page in your common history.‎ 五、语法填空（共2题；共11分）‎ ‎27.Copernicus' theory is now the basis on ________ all our ideas of the universe are built. ‎ ‎28.阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容或括号内单词的正确形式（不多于3个单词）。‎ ‎    In 1990, over 100 countries signed ________ international agreement to make it illegal to buy or sell ivory, which is mainly used for jewelry. Most ivory is made from the tusks(象牙) of African elephants. These tusks are ________(terrible) valuable---one pair is worth more than three times the income of an African farmer or a factory worker in a year.‎ ‎    Hunting elephants was so profitable ________from 1979 to 1989 the number of elephants in Africa fell from 1.3 million to 600,000. It was feared that by the year 2020 there would be none ________(leave). However, thanks________ the international agreement, there ________(be) much less illegal hunting since 1990.‎ ‎    But considering ________(vary) of aspects, it costs a lot of money to preserve elephants. Games wardens (看守人) must be hired to protect them. Land must be set aside for them, and when they destroy a farmer's crops, the farmer must ________(pay) compensation.(赔偿金)‎ ‎    Zimbabwe and four other African countries say that some of the elephants should be killed legally. This would help keep the population stable, and selling the ivory would help pay for preserving the elephants. But conservationists say that ________(make) ivory legal to sell would lead to even more illegal hunting. Others say ________is wrong is to kill elephants because they are sensitive animals that feel emotional pain at the death of other elephants.‎ 六、完形填空（共1题；共20分）‎ ‎29.完形填空     From the window of my room,I could see a tall cotton-rose hibiscus.In spring,when green leaves was half 1 by mist,the 2 looked very fascinating dotted with red blossom.This inspiring 3 of mine often set my mind working.I gradually regarded it as my best friend. 4 ,when I opened the window one morning,to my amazement, the tree was almost 5 recognition as a result of the storm the night before.Struck by the sight,I was 6 with a sadness at the thought "all the blossom is condemned to fall".I could not help 7 with emotion: the course of life never runs smooth,for there are so many ups and downs, 8  and turns. My life saw my beloved friends ‎ ‎9 one after another.Isn't it 10 to the tree shedding its flowers in the wind?     This event 11 as time went by. One day after I came home from the countryside, I found the room stuff(窒闷的) and 12 opened the window. Something outside caught my eye and 13 me.It was a plum tree all red with blossom set off 14 by the sunset.The surprise discovery overwhelmed me with pleasure.I wondered 15 I had no idea of some unbending life growing over the fallen petals（花瓣）when I was grieving for the hibiscus.     When the last withered(枯萎的) petal 16 , all the joyful admiration for the hibiscus was 17 as if nothing was left,until the landscape was again filled with the red plum blossom to remind people of life's alternation and continuance. Can't it be said that life is actually a symphony, a 18 composition of loss and gain.     Standing by the window lost in thought for a long time,I realized that no 19 in the world remains unchanged.

He moves around her office at work and goes shopping with her. "Most people don't seem to mind Tom," says Catherine, who thinks he is wonderful. "He's my fourth child," she says. She may think of him and treat him that way as her son, buying his food, paying his health bills and his taxes, but in fact Tom is a dog.‎ ‎    Catherine and Tom live in Sweden, a country where everyone is expected to lead an orderly life according to rules laid down by the government, which also provides a high level of care for its people. This level of care costs money.‎ ‎    People in Sweden pay taxes on everything, so aren't surprised to find that owning a dog means yet more taxes. Some people are paying as much as 500 Swedish kronor in taxes a year for the right to keep their dog, money that is spent by the government on dog hospitals and sometimes medical treatment for a dog that falls ill. However, most such treatment is expensive, so owners often decide to offer health and even life premium for their dog.‎ ‎    In Sweden dog owners must pay for any damage their dog does. A Swedish Kennel Club official explains what this means: if your dog runs out on the road and gets hit by a passing car you, as the owner, have to pay for any damage done to the car, even if your dog has been killed in the accident.‎ ‎（1）The money paid as dog taxes is used to ________. ‎ A.provide medical care for dogs B.pay for damage done by dogs C.keep a high level of care for the people D.buy insurance for dog owners ‎（2）The underlined world "premium" possibly means ________. ‎ A.entertainment expense B.medical check C.payment for risks D.protection fee ‎（3）If a dog causes a car accident and gets killed, who should pay for the damage done to the car? ‎ A.The government. B.The owner of the car. C.The insurance company. D.The owner of the dog.‎ ‎（4）From the text it can be inferred that in Sweden ________. ‎ A.people care much about dogs B.keeping dogs means asking for trouble ‎ C.many car accidents are caused by dogs D.dogs are welcome in public places 八、改错题（共1题；共5分）‎ ‎31.文中共有10处错误，每句中最多有两处。每处错误涉及一个单词的增加、删除或修改。 增加：在缺词处加一个漏字符号(∧)，并在其下面写出该加的词。 删除：把多余的词用斜线(﹨)划掉。 修改：在错的词下面画一横线，并在该词下面写出修改后的词。 注意：1）每处错误及其修改均仅限一词;        2）只允许修改10处，多者(从第11处起)不计分。     One rainy day while I was walking home with one of my friend a truck came to a stop besides us. The driver put the window down and offered us a umbrella because he found we were wet through. I stood there and couldn't believe in that a complete stranger is so thoughtful. The man insisted, so I grateful accepted the offer, thanked him and watched the truck disappear down the road. This man might need the umbrella himself, and he preferred to give it to everyone else. It was a lesson to us that it is possible give without expect anything in return. ‎ 九、书面表达（共1题；共5分）‎ ‎32.书面表达 你校将于2016年9月12号举行隆重的建校110周年的校庆活动。届时将会有来自国内外的一些校友前来参加。假设你是学生会主席，现要代表学生会起草一份书面通知，就参加此次活动做简要阐述。 内容包括： 1）. 欢迎大家参加此次活动； 2）. 活动时间：9月12号9：00~17：00 活动内容和地点：文艺节目（学校体育馆） 演讲、教学研讨会（教学楼） 3）. 活动期间应该注意的事项（至少两项）。 注意：1. 词数100左右；2. 可以适当增加细节，以使行文连贯；3. 文中不可透露个人姓名和学校名称。 参考词汇：校友alumni Notice ‎ 答案解析部分 一、单选题 ‎1.【答案】 C ‎ ‎2.【答案】 A ‎ ‎3.【答案】 D ‎ ‎4.【答案】 B ‎ ‎5.【答案】 C ‎ ‎6.【答案】 A ‎ ‎7.【答案】 A ‎ ‎8.【答案】 C ‎ ‎9.【答案】 D ‎ ‎10.【答案】 D ‎ ‎11.【答案】 B ‎ ‎12.【答案】 D ‎ ‎13.【答案】 A ‎ ‎14.【答案】 B ‎ ‎15.【答案】 B ‎ ‎16.【答案】 D ‎ ‎17.【答案】 B ‎ ‎18.【答案】 A ‎ ‎19.【答案】 A ‎ ‎20.【答案】 A ‎ 二、填空题 ‎21.【答案】decided；where；in；leaving；difficulties；after；months；was；thankful；best ‎ ‎22.【答案】 assumption ‎ ‎23.【答案】B；G；C；A；F ‎ 三、翻译 ‎24.【答案】 link smoking to cancer ‎ ‎25.【答案】 terrified；people；every；time ‎ 四、任务型阅读 ‎26.【答案】 painful/bitter；reminds；survive/stand；value；immediate；close；prepared/ready；necessarily；distance；repair/fix/restore/heal ‎ 五、语法填空 ‎27.【答案】 which ‎ ‎28.【答案】 an；terribly；that；left；to；has been；varieties；be paid；making；what ‎ 六、完形填空 ‎29.【答案】（1）D；（2）C；（3）A；（4）B；（5）B；（6）C；（7）D；（8）A；（9）C；（10）A；（11）D；（12）B；（13）A；（14）D；（15）B；（16）C；（17）D；（18）B；（19）C；（20）A； ‎ 七、阅读理解 ‎30.【答案】 （1）A （2）C （3）D （4）A ‎ 八、改错题 ‎31.【答案】①friend→friends②besides→beside③a→an④去掉in⑤is→was⑥grateful→gratefully⑦and→but⑧everyone→someone/somebody⑨possible后加to⑩expect→expecting ‎ 九、书面表达 ‎32.【答案】Notice     There will be a grand event to celebrate the 110th anniversary of the founding of our school on September 12th, 2016 and some alumni from home and abroad are warmly welcome to our school to attend it.
