She was still my mother, 49 she was something 50 : a person like me, capable of fear and 51 and failure.

第三部分：阅读理解

A

When asked to point out one or two things that are most important to themselves, many put friends ahead of homes, jobs, cloth and cars.

A true friendship carries a long history of experience that determines who we are and keeps us connected. It is a treasure we should protect. Unfortunately, the better friends you are, the more probably you’ll have disagreements. And the result can be what you don’t want an end to the relationship.

The good news is that most troubled friendships ca n be mended First, don’t’ let your pride get in your way. Most of us can forgive each other when differences are brought out in the open. Second, apologize when you’re wrong –even if you’ve been wronged. Over the course of a friendship, even the best people make mistakes. Sometimes, it may be best if the wronged person takes the lead and apologizes. When you apologize, give your friend a chance to admit that he has been wrong. Third, see things from your friend’s point of view (观点). And finally, accept that friendships change as our needs and lifestyle (生活方式) change. Making friends can sometimes seem easy. The hard part is keeping the connections strong during the natural ups and downs that have an effect on all relationships. My suggestion: Consider friendship an honor and a gift, and worth the effort to treasure and nurture (培养).

56.What would be the best title for the text?

A. Easy Ways to Make Friends

B. Ups and Downs in Friendship

A. who has been mistaken for another

B. who has been blamed unfairly

C. who has treated friends badly

D. we have know one another for long

59.What should we do if we follow the author’s second suggestion?

A. Stick to our own prints of view

B. Avoid making mistakes

C. Make an apology first

D. Change our lifestyles

B

A quarrel at home may result in you falling ill. Don’t laugh, it’s true. Family matters including living habits and even the way we speak have a big effect on our health, doctors say.

Wang Xiaoyu, a Senior 2 girl from Xichang, Sichuan Province, fainted (晕倒) in class when she heard her classmates quarrel at the top of their voices. Quarrels between her parents also put the girl into a coma. It is because she is suffering from depression (抑郁症), caused by bad relations at home, doctors explained.

“We don’t get sick or stay well by ourselves,” says Dr Robert Ferrer from the US. Ferrer shows that family forces may explain up to a quarter of health problems,

in his recent research.

The genes you get from your family may cause illness. If one of your parents has a heart attack, your risk of being affected may double. But effects on health are not only written in our DNA.

Unrelated people who live under the same roof also get similar problems. Diet, lifestyle and environment affect our health, too.

Ferrer’s research also found that if teenagers feel they are ignored or unimportant at home they are more likely to get sick.

We may never fully understand all the effects that families have on our health. But just as individual (个别的) problems can have effects on others, a small improvement can have big benefits, Ferrer said.

60.Which of the following can best explain why Wang Xiaoyu fainted in class?

A. Because her classmates often quarreled in class.

B. Because her parents used to quarrel.

C. Because of her depression caused by bad family relations.

D. Because her classmates shouted loudly at her.

61.According to Dr Ferrer, which of the following statements is TRUE?

A. We get sick or stay well by ourselves.

B. Only the genes we get from our family have a big effect on our health.

C. Our health has nothing to do with diet, lifestyle and environment.

D. Teenagers who are ignored at home get sick more easily than those who are not.

62.The underlined word “coma” in Paragraph2 probably means ________.

A. embarrassment

B. faint

C. tiredness

D. sadness

63. The best title for this passage is ________.

A. Family relations.

B. The reasons why we get sick.

C. Happy family makes you healthy.

D. A research about teenagers’ health.

Recently a Beijing father sent in a question at an Internet forum (论坛) asking what "PK" meant.

"My family has been watching the 'Super Girl' singing competition TV programme. My little daughter asked me what 'PK' meant, but I had no idea," explained the puzzled father.

To a lot of Chinese young people who have been playing games online, it is impossible not to know this term. In such Internet games, "PK" is short for "Player Kill", in which two players fight until one ends the life of the other.

In the case of the "Super Girl" singing competition, "PK" was used to refer to the stage where two singers have to compete with each other for only one chance to go up in competition ranking.

Like this father, Chinese teachers at high schools have also been finding their students' compositions using Internet jargons which are difficult to understand.

A high school teacher from Tianjin asked her students to write compositions with simple language, but they came up with a lot of Internet jargons that she didn't understand.

"My 'GG' came back this summer from college. He told me I've grown up to be a 'PLMM'. I loved to 'FB' with him together; he always took me to the 'KPM'," went one composition.

"GG" means Ge Ge (Chinese pinyin for brother). "PLMM" refers to Piao Liang Mei Mei (beautiful girl). "FB" means Fu Bai (corruption). "KPM" is short for KFC, Pizza Hut and McDonald's.

Some specialists welcome Internet jargons as a new development in language.

If you do not even know what a Kong Long (dinosaur, referring to an ugly looking female) or a Qing Wa (frog, referring to an ugly looking male) is, you will possibly be regarded as a Cai Niao!

71. By writing the article, the writer tries to ________ .

A. explain some Internet language

B. suggest common Internet language

C. laugh at the Beijing father

D. draw our attention to Internet language

72. What does the writer think about the term "PK"?

A. Fathers can't possibly know it.

B. The daughter should understand it.

C. Online game players may know it.

D. "Super Girl" shouldn't have used it.

73. The examples of the Beijing father and the Tianjin teacher are used to show that Internet jargons ________ .

A. are used not only online

B. can be understood very well

C. are welcomed by all the people

D. cause trouble to our mother tongue

74. The underlined word "jargons" means " ________ " in Chinese.

A. 行话

B. 粗口

C. 歌

词 D. 趋势

75. What would be the best title for the passage?

A. A puzzled father

B. Do you speak Internet-ish?

C. Keep away from Internet-ish

D. Kong Long or Qing Wa?

The students of our school had a discussion about whether listening test in the National Matriculation English Test should be. kept or canceled. Some students think that listening test should not be canceled. They insist listening is among the four basic skills. We therefore can not ignore it. Besides, listening is one of the important channels for us to get information from the outside world.

$o it should be strengthened today when international cooperation is becoming more and more frequent. But others don’t agree. They think not everyone has to communicate with foreigners in the future. Moreover, listening test is unfair to the students in the areas where radio signals cannot be picked up effectively.

And for certain reasons, there is a big difference in teachers and equipment between the countryside and the city.a
