　　One day, Nick invited his friends to supper. He was cooking some delicious food in the kitchen. Suddenly, he

　　16

　　(find) that he had run out of salt. So Nick called to his son, “Go to the village and buy some salt, but pay a fair(公平, 合理) price for it: neither too much

　　too little.”

　　His son looked surprised. “I can understand why I shouldn’t pay too much, Father, but if I can pay less,

　　18

　　not save a bit of money?”

　　“That would be a very

　　19

　　(reason) thing to do in a big city, but it could destroy a small village like ours,” Nick said.

　　Nick’s guest,

　　20

　　had heard their conversation, asked why they should not buy salt more cheaply if they could. Nick replied, “The only reason a man would sell salt

　　21

　　a lower price would be because he was desperate（极度渴望的）for money. And anyone who took advantage of that situation would be showing a lack （缺少） of respect

　　the sweat (汗水)and struggle(奋斗) of the man who worked very hard to produce it.”

　　“But such a small thing couldn’t

　　(possible) destroy a village.”

　　very small amount of unfairness in the world, but everyone added a little, always

　　25

　　(think) that it was only small and not very important, and look where we have ended up today.”

　　Friendship is always the center in our life. Friends often affect (影响) our health and energy. More and more people are turning towards their friends for support(支持) and sharing. We may have a very unclear understanding of what makes a friend but we all want to have many good friends around us. There are certain steps that can win you friends or at least help you get close to those whom you want to make friends with.

　　The first step to make friends with someone is to make him like you. If they don’t like you in the beginning, it is impossible for them to become your friends. To let someone know that you’re interested in him, a little smile and calling him by his name can help. To make the other person feel important, you need to be a good listener and encourage(鼓励) the other person to talk. Give your honest and real opinions but do not make fun of him or her.

　　The second step is to fully understand each other. You need to share his or her opinions. So, it is necessary for you to develop a habit of seeing things from the other person’s point of view(观点).

　　The third and final step is to show your support and encouragement towards your friend.

　　26. What is the main idea of this passage?

　　A. Friendship is less important in our life.

　　B. How to make friends.

　　C. Friends do harm to our health and energy.

　　D. Relatives(亲戚) can’t become friends.

　　27. Which is the right order of making friends according to the writer?

　　(1)To show your support and encouragement towards your friend.

　　A. (2)(1)(3)

　　B. (1)(2)(3)

　　C. (3)(1)(2)

　　D. (3)(2)(1)

　　28. It can be inferred from the first suggested step that ______ is NOT likely to win you friends.

　　A. making others talk 

　　B. being very talkative

　　C. telling people you like them

　　D. showing others you’re interested in them

　　The earthquake that shook Japan on March 11, 2011 was the strongest earthquake in that country’s recorded history and the fourth strongest recorded on Earth since 1900. It cracked open the ground, knocked people off their feet, and made tall buildings move. Then things got even worse.

　　It created huge waves called a tsunami (海啸). Walls of water as tall as 30 feet flooded into the coast and swept six miles inland, wiping out everything in the way.

　　Many human survivors were separated from their pets. Many animal lovers went out of their way to help pets in need after the tsunami. And some pets helped their owners, too.

　　When Kamata heard the tsunami alert (警报), he decided to visit his neighbours to warn them of the coming danger. He put his dog, Shane, in the yard so they could leave as soon as he returned. But later, as he headed home, the tsunami flooded into the city, destroying his path. Kamata was forced to run to higher ground, to a school that served as a shelter. He feared he would never see Shane again.

　　Six hours later, Kamata heard that a dog was waiting outside the school. He went to look: It’s Shane! The dog swam through the tsunami and found Kamata, even though Shane had never been to the school.

　　After the huge earthquake ended, 83-year-old Tami Akanuma thought that she and her small dog, Babu, were safe. But Babu was anything but calm. She cried and walked worriedly, as if really wanting to go for a walk. That’s strange, since Babu didn’t like taking walks. But Akanuma took her out.

　　Outside, Babu headed up a hill instead of toward their normal route near the water. When Akanuma slowed down, the little dog pulled her higher. Once they reached the hilltop, Akanuma looked back and was surprised: The path they had taken was flooded and her home had been destroyed by fast-flowing water. Little Babu helped his owner escape in time.

　　41. What are the first two paragraphs about?

　　A. A brief introduction to the earthquake.

　　B. The strongest earthquake in history

　　C. The influence of the tsunami

　　D. The cause of the tsunami.

　　42. Why did Kamata think he would never see Shane again?

　　A. He couldn’t go back home to take Shane.

　　B. He was afraid Shane had been killed by the tsunami.

　　C. He thought Shane had been taken away by his neighbour.

　　D. He feared Shane didn’t know he was at the shelter then.

　　43. Why did Kamata run to a school?

　　A. The road to his home had been destroyed by water.

　　B. The school was the nearest place to him.

　　C. He went there to look for Shane.

　　D. He didn’t want to go home then.

　　44. Which of the following best describes Shane?
