Meanwhile,the resolutions can serve as a constant reminder and a powerful motivator towards our goals.Therefore,practical methods should be adopted to make our resolutions come true.Break our resolutions into a series of time-based steps and achieve them one by one.Also,share our resolutions with our family members who can regularly remind us.At the same time,assess and reward ourselves in time for remarkable progress that we have made.I’m sure that we will make it with persistent efforts.(150words)附听力原文:Text1W:I’m going to change my clothes as soon as I’ve finished typing this letter.(1)M:Okay.Then we’ll take my car and go out for a meal.Text2M:Hello,Madam.We have some really nice T-shirts on sale.…Let me see.What about these dark blue jeans?They will look great with that T-shirt.And they are only$20.W:How much is the T-shirt?I love both the T-shirt and the jeans!M:The T-shirt is$10.(2)Text3M:I see you fell asleep in the lawn chair again.(3)W:That chair is very comfortable.Do my eyes look really tired?M:No,but your face is very sunburned.Text4W:It’s a very dry year.Are you using less water at your home?M:I do.But my wife doesn’t.She thinks our children need a daily bath.W:Water is very important for kids,but maybe she could give them a bath every other day.(4)Text5W:The museum is open late on Fridays.We could see the new exhibition after work.M:The weekend would be a lot better.I have to work late this week to finish a report.W:No problem.I told my nephew I’d take him to a baseball game on Saturday,though.(5)Text6W:Mrs.Thompson wants to see us,Jason.(6)M:Why?We shouldn’t be in trouble or anything.In fact,we were super active during the entire class discussion this morning.W:That’s just it.I don’t think it’s a bad thing at all.I think she is going to ask us to run for class monitor!(6)M:Whoa,really?That’s a lot of responsibility.(7)W:Well,I think you’d be great at it!Besides,it’s a big honor to be asked to do it.It means that Mrs.Thompson sees us as leaders.M:I’m not sure if I can do it by myself,though.Could we do it together?(7)W:Let’s ask Mrs.Thompson.I hear her coming in from the hallway now…Text7W:Mr.Jones,I just got off the phone with Mr.Dawson.He wants to schedule a meeting with you for later today or tomorrow.(8)M:What does he want to talk about?W:One of the factories that makes his products.He said it was pretty urgent.M:Well,I don’t want to stay too late like last night.My wife was not happy with me!W:How about tomorrow at11:00a.m.?I checked your schedule,and the only thing you have that day is a phone call at2:00p.m.(8)(9)M:11:00tomorrow sounds fine.Can you set everything up and then email me all the information,please?(8)W:Of course.I was just about to go to lunch,actually.Do you want to join me?M:I’d love to,but I have to look at some samples from a new customer.I’ll join you next time!Text8M:Did you grab everything from the car?We should check before we leave this area.(10)We have a long day of hiking ahead of us.W:Yes,I did it already.Where should we go now?M:We’re going up to the top part of the mountain.W:Is that where we get the tickets?(11)M:Yeah.It’s about a20-minute walk from here.(11)W:That’s not so bad.M:Just wait till we get the tickets.It’s a three-hour hike from there to the top.W:How far is the lake from the top?M:Another40minutes.We can have lunch at the top,or down by the water.W:We had a late breakfast,so I can wait.I’m excited to see this lake.The guidebook says it changes color throughout the year.M:That’s true.In the fall and winter,it’s sky blue because of the light reflecting off tiny pieces of ice in the lake.At this time of year,it turns green because of the plants that grow under the water.(12)W:That’s so cool.It’s a good thing I brought my camera.Text9M:Do you know there is a new art exhibition in the city?(13)W:No,I don’t.Is it being held at the City Exhibition Center?M:I thought it was there at first,or at one of the popular art galleries.But no,and you would never guess where it is.W:Come on,tell me.M:It’s taking place inside the Metropolitan Shopping Center.(13)W:Seriously?That’s so unusual.M:Yeah.I thought it was ridiculous,but now I find it kind of cool.(14)W:What are they showing at the exhibition?Paintings?M:There’s a painting section,and most paintings are the works of contemporary artists.(15)Only a few are painted by traditional painters.W:What’s the major difference between the two?M:Well,contemporary artists’works are more abstract compared with the classical style of traditional paintings.

Many students have adopted them as efficient learning tools, which may also have negative effects on other students. (31词)In my opinion, online learning apps are an inseparable part of a student’s life and should be welcomed. After all, they are of great help to our study. For example, when I meet with a problem I can’t work out after a few attempts, I will turn to my tutors there. A simple click of the button will bring me the answers, often with detailed analysis and different solutions. Besides, by participating in activities such as talent shows on such websites, I have enjoyed myself and gained confidence.Of course, it is unwise to rely wholly on such online learning apps. However, they can serve as good helpers to us if we learn to employ their advantages and avoid the disadvantages. (153词)Possible version two:Nowadays, internet-based learning products are enjoying growing popularity. These apps, easy to access, are playing an increasingly important role in some students’ study. However, results are sometimes unsatisfactory. (28词)To be frank, I hold a negative attitude towards online learning products. First and foremost, they are mostly examination-oriented, and their websites are flooded with exercises and test papers. As a consequence, they are actually increasing our pressure instead of reducing our academic burdens. Worse still, with the aim to make profits some apps also offer games and chatting rooms. Once we become addicted to them and get lost, not only will we waste our money and energy but we will also be distracted from our studies.Admittedly, we may refer to online learning products as a supplement to our school study when necessary. But there is no substitute for school education where our independent learning and creative thinking can be improved. (150词)听力原稿(Text 1)W:Are you happy now that the exam is over?M:Happy? You’ve got to see my grade before you say that.(Text 2)W:Have you got any idea what you’ll buy for Mary’s birthday?M:Well, I’ll get her a new school bag. And I promised to take her to a film.What about you?W:Oh, I haven’t decided yet. I probably buy her a new music record as shelikes it so much.(Text 3)W:Now, can we get the computers before WednesdaM:Well, it depends. If it is less than 10 kilometers, we can deliver them onTuesday. But if it’s farther away, it’ll be on Thursday. Where isyouroffice?W:Just around the corner.(Text 4)M:Your room number is 633 on the sixth floor. We’ll take the lift. W:OK. Here is my luggage.(Text 5)W:The admission price of the gallery is ten dollars per person. I think that’spretty expensive.M:But if we use our student cards, we can get in at the half price. W:Really? Let’s have a try.(Text 6)W:Hi, Mark. Haven’t seen you for ages. How are you doing?M:Can’t complain. I’m busy with my experiments in the lab but after work Ioften play some sports.W:Like what?M:Like tennis, running and golf.。

During my childhood, there were special cows who taught me important life lessons, and 36 of them bring a smile to my face and a tear to my eye.It all started with Thunder, the first cow I recall 37 . When I was about 4 years old, I used to climb up and spend hours brushing her and talking to her 38 my parents did the milking. She was truly my friend, 39 I shared all my secrets and stories.Then one day my parents told me it was time for Thunder to go to the market. Realizing Thunder was 40 , and I was upset. With tears 41 in my eyes, Igave her one last hug and watched her rolled out of the driveway. I learned from Thunder that cows are not pets — when they can no longer give milk, they are 42 to supply beef — a noble purpose. Thunder taught me selflessness and nobility.Molly was the next cow to teach me a valuable lesson. 43 her naughty personality, I took Molly to the county fair for show every year. We always did well, 44 the special bond between us that the judges could see. When Molly was 4 years old, we even became the champion. With that huge shiny red cup, I thought we were 45 . I was sure Molly was the best cow on the whole fairgrounds.However, in the open show a couple months later, we were handed the mustard-colored ribbon of fourth place. My first instinct was to 46 the judge, who clearly didn’t know what he was doing. After watching me pout (噘嘴) for a while, Mother chatted with me about sportsmanship and47 . Molly was a great cow, but she wasn’t the best that day, and that was OK. Molly taught me to be humble.When I was 10, my father gave me a 6-year-old cow, Ginger, to show. She was a big beautiful black cow, and she really didn’t want a little kid 48 her around a show ring. I worked hard that summer, leading Ginger up and down our long driveway, sweating heavily with the 49 . But it was all 50 —the first year Ginger needed to be pushed around the whole ring. I was51 and frustrated. But I kept working with her, and 52 the stubborn old cow gave in and53 she enjoyed the show ring. We went on for many years, even winning showmanship severaltimes. Through Ginger, I learned that hard work pays off and d edication produces 54 .Since then, more cows have 55 my life.

UNESCO(United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization) recently 36 April 30 as a day to raise awareness of jazz music, its significance, and its potential as a unifying(联合) voice 37 cultures.Despite the celebrations, 38 , in the U.S. the jazz audience continues to 39 and grow older, and the music has failed to connect with 40 generations.It’s Jason Moran’s job to help change that. As the Kennedy Center’s artistic 41 for jazz, Moran hopes to 42 the audience for jazz, make the music more 43 , and preserve its history and culture.“Jazz seems like it’s not really a part of the American 44 ,” Moran tells National Public Radio. “What I’m hoping to accomplish is that my generation and younger start to 45 and understand that jazz is not black and white anymore. It’s actually 46 , and it’s actua lly digital.”Moran says one of the 47 with jazz today is that the entertainment aspect of the music has been lost. “The music can’t be 48 today the way it was in 1908 or 1958. It has to continue to move, because the way the world works is 49 ,” says Moran.Last year, Moran worked on a project that 50 Fats Waller’s music for a dance party, “just to kind of put it back in the mind that Waller is dance music 51 it is concert music,”says Moran. “For me, it’s the recontextualization(情景重构). In music, where does the 52 lie? Are we, as humans, gaining any 53 into how we talk about ourselves and 54 something as abstract as a Charlie Parker record gets us into a dialogue about our emotions and our thoughts? Sometimes we lose sight that the music has a wider context,” says Moran, “so I want to continue those 55 .”36. A. saluted B. set C. marked D. laid37. A. through B. around C. across D. outside38.

During one visit in 2010, he was saying good night to a teenage patient 38 he had a bright idea — literally.Brosnihan told the teenager to wait until he 39 , then look out his hospital room window toward the corner near the bus stop.

When he mentioned the ritual(仪式) to a friend who worked at a 43 restaurant called the Hot Club, the owner said he wanted in too. He started to flick the neon Hot Club sign for one minute every night at 8:30. Soon enough, the customers started joining in with flashlights and cell phones.

However, recent research suggests that the native peoples ofthe Putumayo region helped to protect the rainforest, leaving it unchanged for 5,000 years. Perhaps humans’ coexisting with nature is possible after all.The study, published in PNAS, looked at soil samples in the Putumayo region of the Amazon in Peru to find how humans influenced the land. The researchers found that the trees still growing in the region today have been growing there for the last 5,000 years — evidence that the area has not been home to cities and farmland in that time. Traces of charcoal(木炭) found in the, soil, however, indicate that people did live there; they just did so in a way that had minimum influence on their environment.To come to these conclusions the team dug a 0.6-0.9 meter deep column into the ground, taking samples of soilfrom different heights along the column. Back in the lab, samples were carbon- dated to determine their age and then sorted under a microscope to look for microscopic mineral particles, known as phytoliths (植硅体). Phytoliths are essential evidence of plants— they remained in the soil thousands of years after the plant died. So researchers can use them to tell which plants have grown in an area in the past.Over 5,000 years’ worth of samples, no species loss was detected. These findings suggest that contrary to common belief, the Amazon is not untouched by humans, but rather has been protected by them for thousands of years. The management of the rainforest by native peoples appears to have been vital in preserving its biodiversity and will continue to be important in the fight to prevent it from acollapse.As Nigel Pitman, a co-author on the paper, said: “Since this particular forest is still being protected by native peoples, I hope this study reminds us all how important it is to support their work.”4. How did native peoples deal with the rainforest in the region of Putumayo?A. They always destroyed the rainforest.B. They had a side effect on the rainforest.C. They never lived in the area of the forest.D. They had been in harmony with the forest.5. What did the researchers try to find in the Amazon forest in Peru?A. The diversity of the plants in the rainforest.B. The evidence of human influence on the forest.C. The nutrition of the soil samples in the rainforest.D. The survival age of growing trees in the rainforest.6. What does the underlined word “collapse” mean in Paragraph 4?A. Sudden decrease.B. Bad management.C. Poor preservation.D. Over development.7. What can be inferred from Nigel Pitman's words?A. Native peoples should protectthe rainforest.B. We should help protect the Amazon Rainforest.C. More science research should be done on rainforest.D We should make good use of the Amazon Rainforest.CGetting drunk on ice cream used to be the stuff of dreams, but thanks to Will Rogers, inventor and owner of WDS Dessert Stations in Hinkley, Illinois, it has become a delicious reality. The Below Zero icecream machine uses a unique technique to freeze alcohol, which allows you to turn beers, cocktails and even spirits (烈酒) into delicious soft —serve ice cream.Rogers was trying to create a highly — caffeinated espresso ice cream flavor when he realized hecould use the same technique with alcoholic beverages. He started experimenting with various gums and stabilizers commonly used in the ice cream industry and eventually patented something called the NEA gel. It’s this magical concoction (调制品) that allows the alcohol to freeze to a near solid inside the Below Zero ice cream machine.Even though Below Zero changes the texture (质地) of beer, cocktails and even spirits, essentially turning them into soft —serve ice cream, it does not affect the alcohol contentat all. The ABV (酒精度) remains exactly the same, which means you can get drunk on ice — cream just as you would on the same concoctions in liquid form.Will Rogers claims that it takes around 30 minutes for beer to go from liquid to ice cream form, but higher alcohol content drinks take longer. Essentially, the higher the alcohol level, the longer the wait.The American inventor plans to sell Below Zero ice cream machines to bars and breweries wanting to surprise their patrons. Metro reports that machines will sell for about 6,000.8. What’s the name of the machine which can change beer and spirits into ice cream?A. Will RogersB. WDS Dessert StationsC. HinkleyD. Below Zero9. What makes alcohol to freeze to a near solid inside the machine?A. gums.B. stabilizers.C. NEA gel.D. ABV.10. What can we know from the passage?A. The machine can change all liquids into ice cream.B. It takes 20 minutes for beer to change into ice cream.C. The higher the alcohol level, the shorter the wait will be.D. The machine changes the texture of beer, cocktails and even spirits.11. What can we infer from the passage?A. The machine affects the alcohol content.B. You can get drunk if you have ice—creams made from spirits.C. The American inventor doesn’t want to sell themagical machine.D. Bars and breweries will not become potential buyers of the machine.DAt first glance, there is nothing unusual about BingoBox’s convenience store–shelves packed with snacks line the walls, attracting passers-by through the glass windows. But upon closer look, BingoBox is no ordinary store. The door unlocks only after customers scan (扫描) aQR code to enter, and there is no cashier — just a lone checkout counter (柜台) in a corner. The Shanghai-based company is one of many unmanned store operators (运营者) opening outlets all over China, hoping to improve slim profit by reducing staff costs.“Ifstaff costs rise quickly, that puts greater pressure on low-profit businesses like convenience stores and supermarkets,” said Andrew Song, an analyst at Guotai Junan Securities. “InChina, manpower costs have been rising ly quickly.”However, the future vision of shopping without a check-out person is still a work in progress. A Post reporter who visited a BingoBox store inShanghaiwas briefly locked in when trying to exit without buying anything. Although a sign near the exit stated that empty-handed customers can leave by scanning a QR code, no QR code was to be found. Repeated calls to the customer service hotline went unanswered.The idea of unmanned stores first caught the world’s attention in December last year. Equipped with technology such as RFID tags, mobile payment systems and facial and movement recognition, such stores collect large amounts of data that give operators a better idea of consumer preferences and buying habits, which can then be used to optimize (使最优化) operations and make more efficient inventory decisions. For companies like BingoBox, lower operating costs also mean it can afford to expand its reach to areas with less foot traffic or fewer people, according to its founder and chief executive ChenZilin.12. What makes BingoBox store look like an ordinary convenience store?A. No cashier to check out.B. A lone checkout counter.C. Shelves packed with goods.D. Entering by scanning a QR code.13. Why are unmanned stores popular with operators?A. The customers prefer mobile payment systems.B. The unmanned stores help improve profit with lower labor costs.C. The employees focus on consumer preferences and buying habits.D. The operators care more about operations and inventory decisions.14. Why is the reporter’s case mentioned in the passage?A. To show his anger and dissatisfaction.B. To warn people not to go to a BingoBox store.C. To explain unmanned stores still have a long way to go.D. To complain that QR code service is not convenient at all..15. What can we infer from the chief executive Chen Zilin?A. Nowadays all stores should be equipped with advanced technology.B. The operators collect data about consumer preferences and buying habits.C. BingoBox made wiser decisions based on the data collected in those unmanned stores.D. The operators can open unmanned supermarkets in more distant places with low cost.第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

She put it aside, thinking it was one of those detective tales she loved.On a rainy Saturday, she picked up the book. As she sped through the pages, she became fascinated by the drama, which encouraged her to explore nature's wonders. Even though her high school teacher told her that girls didn't become scientists, she decided she would.She worked with a biologist, Charpentier, to turn a curiosity of nature into an invention—an easy-to-use tool that can edit DNA. Known as Crispr, the tool will transform the human race. James Watson, the author of The Double Helix, later told her it was the most important biological advance: since he and Francis Crick discovered the structure of DNA.For this achievement, Doudna and Charpentier were awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 2020. Until now, only five women, beginning with Marie Curie in 1911, had won or shared the Nobel for Chemistry out of 184 award winners. When this year's prize was announced, Dr. Charpentier said it would provide a message specifically to young girls who would like to follow the path of science and to show them that women can also be awarded prizes.A few decades from now, if it becomes possible and sate to edit DNA, should we allow parents to improve the IQ and physical strength of their kids? Should we let them decide eye color1 ? Skin color1 ? Height? After helping to discover Crispr, Dr. Doudna has become a leader in considering these moral issues. That's the main message we should take from this Nobel: New technologies can be a huge benefit to the human race, but in order to make surethey are used wisely, it's important for people to understand them.4.

Fearless and stubborn.CIn sportthe sexes are separate. Women and men do not run or swim in the same races. Women are less strong than men.That at least is what people say.Women are called the weaker sex, or, if men want to please them, the fair sex. But boys and girls are taught together at schools and universities. There are women who are famous Prime Ministers, scientists and writers. And women live longer than men. A European woman can expect to live until the age of 74, a man only until he is 68. Are women’s bodies really weaker?The fastest men can run a mile in under 4 minutes. The best women need 4.5 minutes. Women’s time is always slower than men’s, but some facts are a surprise. Some of the fastest women swimmers today are teenage girls. One of them swam 400 meters in 4 minutes 21.2 seconds when she was only 16. The first ‘Tartan’ in film was an Olympic swimmer, Johnny Weissmuller. His fastest 400 meters was 4 minutes 49.1 seconds, which is 37.9 seconds slower than a girl 50 years later! This does not mean that women are catching men up. Conditions are very different now and sport is much more serious. It is so serious that some women athletes are given hormone injections. At the Olympics a doctor has to check whether the women athletes are really women or not. It seems sad that sport has such problems. Life can be very complicated when there are two separate sexes!8.

That was until a couple of weeks ago, when my kids gave me a present thatblew me away.For years now, I’ve been wanting to sell our home, the place where my husband and I raised our kids. But to me, this house is much more than just a building.In the front room, there’s a wall that has hundreds of pencil lines, marking the progress of my children’s growth. Every growth stage is marked in grey, with each child’s name and the date they were measured. Of all the objects and all the memories, it’s this one thing in a home that’s the hardest to leave behind. Friends I know have returned home after work only to discover their wall of heights has been freshly painted over. A new paint job wouldn’t normally be greeted by tears, but erasing that evidence of motherhood hurts more than it should. Our kids grow in so many ways, but the wall is physical evidence of their progress, right there for everyone to see. Over the years, I’ve talked about how much I would hate leaving that wall behind when I moved, even though the last marks were made 10 years ago when my kids stopped growing.So one day, while I was at work, my childrendecided to do something about it.They hired Jacquie Manning, a professional photographer whose work is about capturing (捕捉) the beautiful things in life, from clear lakes and skies to diamonds and ballgowns (舞会礼服).She came to our house while I was at work, and over several hours, took photos of the hundreds of drawings and lines, little grey fingerprints (手印), and old marks. Somehow, she managed to photograph all those years of memories perfectly. Afterwards, she put all the photos together into one image, transforming them into a beautiful history of my family.Three weeks later, my children’s wonderful gift made its way to me—a life-size photo of the pencil lines and fingerprints that represents entire lifetimes of love and growth.12. The underlined phrase in Para. I “blew me away” probably means “________”.A. attracted meB. surprised meC. accepted meD. refused me13. What does the house really mean to the author?A. A house.B. Buildings.C. An object.D. Memories.14. What surprised the friends I know after work?A. Finding the wall repainted.B. Erasing the fingerprints.C. Greeting them by tears.D. Leaving the wall unfinished.15. What is the best title for the text?A. Gift Made with LoveB. Buildings Made by ChildrenC. A Very Wonderful PaintingD.

When the term began, however, his father told him that there was no money to pay for his school fees because of the summer drought. Still, William wanted to learn.He made the village library his school. One day, he found a book calledUsing Energy. On the book’s cover was a picture of windmills, tall steel towers with blades (叶片) spinning like giant fans. He learned that wind—something of which his hometown had plenty—could produce electricity.He couldn’t help picturing his own windmill in mind, but collecting the parts and tools he needed would take months. In a junkyard, he dug through piles of used metal, old cars, and worn-out tractors, searching for anything that might help him construct his machine. He made four-foot-long blades from plastic pipe, which he melted over a fire, flattened out, and hardened with bamboo poles.Earning some money, he paid a blacksmith to attach the piston (活塞) to the pedal sprocket (踏板链轮) of an old bicycle frame. This would be the axle (轮轴) of the windmill. When the wind blew, the spinning blades wouldturn the bicycle wheel and spin a small dynamo (发电机), donated by his friend.When he had collected all the parts, William began putting them together. He fixed the blades to the tractor fan he found, using washers (垫圈) he’d made from bottle caps. Next he pushed the fan onto the piston joint to the bicycle frame. With the help of his two best friends, Williambuilt a 16-foot-tall tower from trunks of trees and lifted the ninety-pound windmill to the top.The big moments eventually came. He climbed up the tower and connected two wires that held a small bulb. As the wind whipped around him, the blades began to turn, slowly at first, then faster and faster. The light bulb flickered (闪烁), then flashed to life. The crowd cheered from below. “Wachitabwina (well done)!”William’s machine now powered his house. And the story of the boy who’d built a power-generating windmill to rescue his family from the drought spread across the Internet.4. After readingUsing Energy, what did William decide to do?A. Make use of wind.B. Enter a high school.C. Build a village library.D. Learn to survive a drought.5. According to Para.3, which of the following word can best describe William?A. Humorous.B.

Windmills for VillagesCMany of us in China enjoy adding chilies (辣椒) toour food, but did you know that this spicy vegetable could also be dangerous? A 34-year-oldUSman recently ended up in hospital after eating a Carolina Reaper—the spiciest chili in the world. After taking just a single bite of one, the man suffered from serious headaches in the following few days, reported BBC News.In fact, reports of stomachache and headache caused by eating spicy food are not something unusual. But ifchilies are harmful, why is it that human beings are the only animals to eat this vegetable? According to the website Huanqiu, about 600 million Chinese people—almost half of the national population—are chili eaters. So what makes people love chilies so much? The human body reacts to the burning feeling that comes from eating chilies by releasing natural chemicals that “produce a sense of happiness” , noted BBC News.And the benefits go even further than just personal enjoyment. A survey conducted by the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences found that the death rate of those who eat spicy food once or twice a week is 10 percent lower than those who eat it less than once a week. The number decreased to 14 percent for those who eat spicy food six to seven times a week. And another study done by theUniversityofVermontcame to a similar conclusion. “The data encourages people to eat more spicy food to improve health and reduce death risk at an early age,” Liu Qi, a nutritionist at the Harvard TH Chan School of Public Health, told BBC News.Chilies have anti-cancer quality and the ability to increase our metabolism (新陈代谢). So, don't worry if you love spicy food. It seems that chilies are actually good for us—except for the Carolina Reaper, perhaps.8. The example of a 34-year-old American is mentioned in Paragraph 1 to prove ________.A. chiliescan be beneficialB. chilies are popular inAmericaC. chilies can be dangerousD. serious headaches can be dangerous9.

The writer wrote the passage to ________.A. warn people of the dangers of chiliesB. ask people to eat Carolina ReaperC. encourage people to eat more chiliesD. tell people the benefits of chiliesDWhy can friendships be hard? Because often people aren't as honest and open as they should be. Sometimes, people end up getting hurt.Most problems with friendships come up because people are just too selfish to care about the things thattheir friends need. They care about their own needs much more, which makes it hard for friendships to work. However, being selfish is part of human nature. A person is put together in order to take care of himself and his own needs, not necessarily those needs of other people. Even though being selfish is something that all humans are born with, it is something that everyone should guard against.The best thing to remember when you are a friend to anyone is that you need to treat your friend the same way as you'd like to be treated. This is wonderful advice for a friendship, because it is really the only way to make sure that you are giving your friend everything you would want to be given in a friendship. Whenever you have a question about how you should treat a friend, it is easy to find an answer simply by asking yourself what you would like your friend to do for you, if he or she is in your shoes.Even if you're always thinking about how you'd like to be treated, and your friends are too, there are issues that come up from time to time in each friendship, and it is important to understand how to deal with these issues so that you can build stronger and healthier friendships. Issues like friends getting boyfriends or girlfriends and not spending enough time with their friends, or even friends finding new friends and leaving old friends behind are issues that will probably come up with one or more of your friendships. It is important to know how to deal with these issues so that you can keep your friends and make new ones. No one wants to have a broken friendship.12. Why may problems with friendships appear?A. One is selfish.B. One is alone.C. One is too anxious.D. One is too busy.13. What's the first and most important thing to be other people's friend?A. Not to hurt your friends' feelings.B. To give your friends whatever you have.C. To treat your friends as fairly as possible.D. Not to think of your own needs any more.14. What is the text mainly about?A. The Meaning of FriendshipsB. The Importance of FriendshipsC. The Advantages of FriendshipsD. The Problems with Friendships15. What may follow the last paragraph of the text?A. How to make many friends.B. How to keep friends happy.C. How to treat friends correctly.D. How to solve friendship issues.第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
