She faced one question after another over whether she has taken performance-enhancing drugs. At a press conference after she won, she said she agreed with Jiang Zhixue, who earlier in the day told the reporter that some people were biased (有偏见) against Chinese swimmers. He said, “We never questioned Michael Phelps when he won eight gold medals in Beijing. I think it is not right to complain about Chinese swimmers once they have good results. Some people are just too jealous.”The 16-year-old Chinese swimmer has been doubted, but the strong-minded girl insisted that she had never taken performance-enhancing drugs. Ye is smaller than most swimmers at her level but has never failed any drug test, and the Olympic organizers spent much of the day defending her, saying all the doubts were “crazy" and "full of jealousy". Sports officials and fans in China have reacted angrily to confusing suggestions by a US swimming coach.（）41. Ye Shiwen is a(n) ________.A. American runnerB. British golferC. Chinese swimmerD. German shooting athlete（）42. Ye Shiwen broke the ________ world record.A. 200-meter swimmingB. 400-meter swimmingC. 200-meter relay raceD. 400-meter relay race（）43. The underlined words in the third paragraph mean ________ in Chinese.A. 毒品B. 药单C. 兴奋剂D. 表现欲（）44. The people who said Ye Shiwen had taken performance-enhancing drugs are ________.A. proudB. crazyC. jealousD. crazy and jealous（）45. Ye Shiwen is ________ all the time according to this passage.A. jealousB. excitedC. crazyD. clean八下Unit 5二卷四. 任务型阅读（10分）(1) An amazing thing happened to Dennis yesterday evening.

They may call both the people they meet once or twice and their close companions (伙伴) “friends". Their friendship depends on the same interests. When their same interests become different, the friendship may disappear（消失）.In some culture, a friendship means a strong helpful feeling between two persons. The friendship is developed slowly and lasts long. However, American people think time is money. Studies show that one out of five American families moves every year. American friendships develop quickly, and they may break up quickly, too. Americansoften chat easily with strangers and people from the United States may at first seem friendly to someone when they need his or her help, so an American friendship is not a true one.Learning how Americans think of a friendship can stop people from other countries making mistakes. It can also help them know how to make friends with Americans.根据短文内容，判断正(T)误(F)。
