　　A

　　An African proverb says that a single hand cannot tie a bundle. Everyone needs companions to help them sail through the rough seas of life. Even the strongest and richest person still needs friends. Our money and strength would have no value if we had no friends to share with us. The best friendship is a give-and-take relationship. We need the support of our family, friends and the community. In turn we also give support to the society, our friends and our family.

　　The word “friend” has many meanings. It could be the bus driver who takes you to and from work every day. It could be a parent, a colleague, a wife or husband, a brother or sister, or even the unknown person who helped you just once when you could not find your way. Real friends share not only our happiness but our sorrows as well. This may explain why we have the expression “a friend in need is a friend indeed”.

　　Friendship is like the sunshine that keeps us warm. It is like the refreshing raindrops on the fields that give the farmers hope of a good planting season. Without friends our life would be like a desert where our only friend would be loneliness and sadness. The most fortunate person is the one who has friends from all levels in the society. A driver might find friends not only among his colleagues but among farmers, bankers, traders, students, politicians or teachers. We should never forget our old friends when we make new ones. We should treasure each of our friends whether poor or rich, beautiful or not. Each friend is unique in his or her own way. And all together, they enrich life and make it very colorful.

　　58. An unknown person can be a friend as well when

　　.

　　A. he helps you with what you need

　　B. he is told how to find his way

　　C. he becomes one of your family

　　D. he is a driver taking you from and to work

　　D．SportOne of the most difficult things for children to deal with when moving to a new town is leaving their friends and making new ones.

　　We once moved and one of our new neighbors told us about a summer camp at the Recreation Center all the kids went to. My husband and I looked into it and we found it was unbelievably cheap. I had the kids sign up (报名) the next day so that they could know more kids there.

　　Another thing we did was to have them sign up for sports when school started. They were happy to be on teams with new friends they made. This also gave me a chance to meet new people and from them I sometimes got some useful ideas for my new books.

　　If you’re just moving to a new house in the same city you live in now, it won’t really be a problem unless your kids are changing schools. If they are, it is a great idea to have them take the address book to school. Thus, your children won’t feel “lost” without their old friends.

　　If you’re able to, over the summer vacation, try inviting the friend your child misses most to come and visit your new home for a week, or even a few weeks. I know this can be difficult if that child has to fly, but maybe you can work out a plan with the child’s parents. Think how happy the kids will be when they meet!

　　A. a summer camp at the Recreation Center was very cheap

　　B. having the kids take part in sports is good for both the author and her kids

　　C. parents should ask their children not to think of their old friends

　　D. parents should create more chances for children to make new friends

　　74. The purpose of the passage is to teach parents how to ______ when they move to a new place.

　　A. get along with their new neighbors

　　B. help their children make new friends and keep the old ones

　　第一节：阅读表达（共5小题，每小题2分）

　　阅读下面的短文，并根据文章后的题目要求回答76-80小题。

　　[1] If you read a newspaper or listen to a newscast(news report) recently, you may hear or read a strange word, “staycation.” Staycation is a new word the American press(newspapers, radio, and television) is using to describe a vacation very close to your own home, or simply staying at home during your vacation. It is a combination of the words “stay” and “vacation”.

　　[2] According to many news reports, these staycations are very popular among American families this year. Why? The high price of gasoline for cars and airplanes has made it very expensive for Americans to travel compared to past years. When you combine this with the weak American dollar, it all adds up to people deciding to stay close to home during their traditional summer vacations. Of course, some places are more interesting to “stay at home” than others. And if you live in a very small town, well, you may just want to skip your vacation and save your time up to next year!

　　[3] Everything is expensive nowadays, and let’s face it—a vacation just may not be in your plan this year. You don’t have to give up family fun just because you can’t
