There I was, walking home at one in the morning after a tiring practice at the theater. With opening night only a week away, I was still learning my lines. I was having trouble dealing with my part-time job at the bank and my acting at night at the same time. As I walked, I thought seriously about giving up both acting and San Francisco. City life had become too much for me.As I walked down empty streets under tall buildings, I felt very small and cold. I began running, both to keep warm and to keep away from any possible robbers . Very few people were still out. except a few sad-looking homeless people under blankets.About a block from my apartment , I heard a sound behind me. I turned quickly, half expecting to see someone with a knife or a gun. The street was empty. All I saw was a shining streetlight. Still, the noise had made me nervous, so I started to run faster. Not until I reached my apartment building and unlocked the door did I realize what the noise had been. It had been my wallet falling to the sidewalk.Suddenly I wasn't cold or tired any more, and I ran out of the door and back to where I'dheard the noise. Although I searched the sidewalk anxiously for fifteen minutes, my wallet was nowhere to be found.Just as I was about to give up the search, I heard the garbage truck pulled up to the sidewalk next to me. When a voice called from the inside, "Alisa Camacho?" I thought I was dreaming. How could this man know my name? The door opened, and out jumped a small red-haired man with an amused look in his eyes. "Is this what you're looking for?" he asked, holding up a small square shape.It was nearly 3 a.m. by the time I got into bed. I wouldn't get much sleep that night, but I had gotten my wallet back. I also had gotten back some enjoyment of city life. I realized that the city couldn't be a bad place as long as people were willing to help each other.41. How did the writer feel when she was walking home after work?A. Cold and sick.B. Fortunate and helpful.C. Satisfied and cheerful.D. Disappointed and helpless.42. From the first paragraph,we learn that the writer was busy _____.A. solving her problem at the bankB. taking part in various city activitiesC. learning acting in an evening schoolD. preparing for the first night show43. On her way home the writer _____.A. lost her wallet unknowinglyB. was stopped by a garbage truck driverC. was robbed of her wallet by an armed manD. found some homeless people following her44. In the fifth paragraph, why did the writer say she was dreaming?A. Someone offered to take her back home.B. A red-haired man came to see her.C. She heard someone call her name.D. Her wallet was found in a garbage truck.45. From the text, we can infer that the writer _____.A. would stop working at nightB. would stay on in San FranciscoC. would make friends with cleanersD. would give up her job at the bankBBrazil has become one of the developing world's great successes at reducing population growth but more by accident than design．While countries such as India have made joint efforts to reduce birth rates, Brazil had better results without really trying, says George Martine at Harvard．Brazil's population growth rate dropped from 2.99％ a year between 1951 and 1960 to 1.93％a year between 1981and 1990, and Brazilian women now have only 2.7 children on average．Martine says this figure may have fallen still further since 1990, an achievement that makes it the envy of many other Third World countries．Martine puts it down to, among other things, soap operas and installment(分期付款)plans introduced in the 1970s．Both played an important, although indirect, role in lowering the birth rate．Brazil is one of the world’s biggest producers of soap operas．Globl, Brazil’s most popul ar television network, shows three hours of soaps six nights a week, while three others show at least one hour a night．Most soaps are based on wealthy characters living the high life in big cities．Although they have never really tried to work in a message towards the problems of reproduction(生育), they describe middle and upper class values：not many children, women working, says Martine．They sent this image to all parts of Brazil and made people conscious of other patterns of behavior and other values, which were put into a very attractive package．Meanwhile, the installment plans tried to encourage the poor to become consumers．“This led to an enormous change in consumption(消费)patterns and consumption was incompatible(不相容的)with unlimited reproduction,”sa ys Martine．46.According to the passage, Brazil has lowered its population growth ________．A．by educating its citizensB．by careful family planningC．by developing TV programsD．by chance47.According to the passage, many Third World countries ________．A．haven’t given much attention to birth controlB．would soon join Brazil in controlling their birth rateC．haven’t yet found an effective measure to control their populationD．haven’t realized the importance of TV plays in family planning48.The underlined phrase in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to________.A.considers it was caused byB.sums it up asC.finds it a reason forpares it to49.Soap operas have helped in lowering Brazil’s birth rate because ________．A．They keep people sitting long hours watching TVB．They have gradually changed people’s way of lifeC．People are drawn to their attractive packageD．They popularize birth control measures50.What is Martine’s conclusion about Brazil’s population growth?A．The increase in birth rate will increase consumption．B．The desire for consumption helps to reduce birth rate．C．Consumption goes with reproduction．D．A country’s production is limited by its population growth．CSome people say that friendship is the only channel through which human beings can ever experience the value of life. In our daily life, it is likely that you share some common interests with others—they may like the same sport, go to the same school or like the same kind of music as you do. Since you often meet them, they become your acquaintances. Although some people develop many acquaintances, only a few become their good friends in their lifetime because there are differences between acquaintances and friends.It is said that true friendship begins when someone knows what you are really like, but still likes you anyway. A true friend shows loyalty from the very beginning of the relationship. A friend will go through challenges to help you without expecting anything in return. A“friend”today may probably become a“true friend” tomorrow when they get involved in unexpected circumstances together with you—for example, when you are going through a difficult experience and yourfriend is there to help you out. However, some acquaintances might leave you when you badly need their help. At this time, you can experience what true friendship is.In our life, some people seem to go through life with plenty of friends. They may be funny or they may have a bright and pleasant personality. For these people, wherever they go, people seem to like them and welcome their company. But when they go through challenging life experiences, some of their friends are not there to help them. Therefore we can say some of their friends are not real friends and their friendship is just skin-deep.However, others seem to go through life with no friends at all. They like to be alone, to travel by themselves or to do their own thing. It’s a pity that few of these people find success in life because they have no friends. They lack the best gift in life—friendship. 51. Which of the following statements about acquaintances is TRUE?A. They have all of the same interests as you do.B. You seldom meet them in your life.C. They are sure to become your good friends.D. Not all of them can become your friends.52. According to the passage you may get to know the meaning of friendship better whenyou_______.A. go to the same school as your friendB. get into troubleC.enjoy the same kind of music as your friendD. see your friend often53.We know from the passage that_______.A.it doesn't matter if one has friends or not.B.people with bright personality are easy to have friends.C.people without friends are always unhappy.D.it's easier to lose a friend than get one.54. What does the underlined word ”ski n-deep” in the third paragraph mean?A. Very deep.B. Not deep at allC. As precious as skinD. Hidden under the skin55. What’s the writer’s attitude towards people without friends in their life?A. InterestedB. AngryC. HopefulD. RegretfulⅤ.选词填空（10%）（根据句子含义选择正确的单词或短语，并用其适当形式填空）56. The fundamental problem ________ their inability to distinguish between reality and invention.57. Topics for conversation should ________ the experience and interests of the students.58. My brother opened his packet just to satisfy my ________.59. After a decade’s research, the scientists ________ the genetic cause of the disease now.60. It’s too noisy outside and I find it hard to ________ going over my lessons.61. My sister ________ to me that nobody had been to the airport to meet her.62.

It was David. He kept walking up and down restlessly, his face pale, and his hands shaking slightly. His head teacher had referred him to me. “This boy has lost his family,” he wrote, “He is understandably very sad and refuses to talk to others, and I’m very worried about him. Can you help?”I looked at David and showed him to a chair. How could I help him? There are problems psychology doesn’t have the answer to, and whic h no words can describe. Sometimes the best thing one can do is to listen openly and sympathetically.The first two times we met, David didn’t say a word. He sat t here, only looking up to look at the children’s drawing on the wall behind me. I suggested we play a game of chess. He nodded. After that he played chess with me every Wednesday afternoon-in complete silence and without looking at me. It’s not easy to cheat in chess, but I admit I made sure David won once or twice.Usually, he arrived earlier than agreed, took the chess board and pieces from the shelf and began setting them up before I even got a chance to sit down. It seemed as if he enjoyed my company（陪伴）. But why did he never look at me?“Perhaps he simply needs someone to share his pain with,”I thought, “Perhaps he senses that I respect his suffering.” Some months later, when we were playing chess, he looked up at me suddenly.“It’s your turn,” he said.After that day, David started talking. He got friends in school and joined a bicycle club. He wrote to me a few times about his biking with some friends, and about his plan to get into university.Now he had really started to live his own life.Maybe I gave David something. But 1 also leaned that one, without any words, can reach out to another person. All it takes is a hug, a shoulder to cry on, a friendly touch, and an car that listens.41. When he first met the author, David ________.A. felt a little excitedB. walked energeticallyC. looked a little nervousD. showed up with his teacher42. As a psychologist, the author ________.A. was ready to listen to DavidB. was skeptical (怀疑的）about psychologyC. was able to describe David’s problemD. was sure of handling David’s problem43. David enjoyed being with the author because he ________.A. wanted to ask the author for adviceB. needed to share sorrow with the authorC. liked the children’s drawings in the officeD. beat the author many times in the chess game44. What can be inferred about David?A. He recovered after months of treatment.B. He liked biking before he lost his family.C. He went into university soon after starting to talk.D. He got friends in school before he met the author.。
