　　.阅读理解

　　A

　　Friends play an important part in our lives，and although we may take the fact of friendship for granted ，we often don't clearly understand how we make friends.While we get on well with a number of people，we are usually friends with only a very few­for example，the average among students is about 6 per person.

　　Moreover，a great many relationships come under the general term“friendship”.In all cases，two people like one another and enjoy being together，but beyond that，the degree of closeness between them and the reasons for their interest in each other vary greatly.

　　At the beginning ，much depends on how people meet ，and on good first impressions.As we get to know people，we consider things like age，race ，looks，economic and social status，and intelligence.

　　Although these factors are not of the greatest importance，it is more difficult to have a good relationship with people when there is a big difference in age and background.

　　We pay attention to actual behavior ，facial expression，and the way a person speaks.Friends will stand closer together and will spend more time looking at each other than ordinary acquaintances.Smiles and soft voices also express friendliness，and it is because they may give the wrong signals that shy people often have difficulty in making friends.A friendly look with the wrong facial expression can turn into an unfriendly stare，and nervousness may be wrongly understood as unfriendliness. People who do not look at one in the eye are not trusted when，in fact，they simply do not have confidence.

　　Some relationships are a result of argument and discussion， but it is usual for close friends to have the same ideas and beliefs，the same opinions and interests­they often talk about“being on the same wavelength”.The more closely involved people become，the more they depend on one another.People want to do friends favors and hate to let them down.Equally， friends have to learn to make allowances for each other，to put up with annoying habits，and to accept differences in opinion.Imagine going on a long trip with someone you occasionally meet for a drink！

　　1.According to the passage，a friend is .

　　A.a person with whom we often dine with

　　B.somebody we work together with

　　C.not just anybody that we can get on well with

　　D.someone we usually take for granted

　　解析：第一、二段对人们的交友进行了简介，A、C、D三项均非短文谈论真正的“朋友”的观点。第二段最后一句话说明了“真正的朋友”与一般的熟人之间的差 别。

　　答案：C

　　2.By saying“Some relationships are a result of argument and discussion(Paragraph 6)”the author actually means that .

　　A.arguing and discussing things can sometimes result in friendship

　　B.poor relationships are the result of argument and discussion

　　C.only through frequent argument and discussion can we strengthen friendship

　　D.we should connect with people to develop friendship

　　解析：由最后一段的首句“Some relationships are a result of argument and discussion...”可知。

　　答案：A

　　3.The passage shows us that a face with wrong expressions can be mistaken as a sign of .

　　A.confidence B.unfriendliness

　　C.friendship

　　D.guilty

　　解析：由第五段的第四句可知。

　　答案：B

　　4.The best title of the passage should be .

　　A.Making Friends

　　B.Ways of Communication

　　C.Social Behaviour

　　D.Sharing Similar Interests

　　解析：全文主要谈了朋友和友谊，所以选A。

　　答案：A

　　B

　　Mass media are tools of communication.Mass media allow us to record and pass information rapidly to a large ，scattered(分散的)audience.They extend our ability to talk to each other by helping us overcome barriers caused by time and space.

　　There are various ways in which mass media make daily life easier for us.First，they help us keep a watch on our world.They gather and pass information we would be unlikely or unable to get on our own.

　　Second ，mass media help us arrange time and life.What we talk about and what we think about are greatly influenced by the media.When people get together ，they tend to talk about certain happenings in the newspapers or on TV.Because we are exposed (暴露) to different points of view through different kinds of media every day，we are able to evaluate(评价)all sides of a certain issue.

　　Third ，the media are used to persuade people.Newspapers，magazines and TV are filled with all kinds of colorful，persuasive advertisements.Though many advertisements may not say openly that they want you to buy a certain product，they describe their products in such a way that you may want to buy them.

　　Fourth，the media are also entertaining.All of the media make some efforts to entertain their audience.For instance，even though the newspaper is primarily a medium of information，it also contains entertainment features(特征).Television，motion pictures，fiction books and some radio stations and magazines are devoted mainly to entertainment.It is estimated that in the future，the entertainment function of mass media will become even more important than it is now.

　　语篇解读：本文是说明文，重点介绍了大众传媒在社会生活中所发挥的重要功能和作用。

　　D.Mass media can make people feel easy.

　　B.mass media make our life much more difficult

　　.任务型阅读/任务型读写

　　阅读下面短文，根据所读内容在表格中的空白处填入恰当的单词。

　　注意：每个空格只填一个单词。

　　Ever got stressed out because you weren't sure what you'd say at that morning meeting？Worried about what you'd look like after squeezing into last year's bathing suit？

　　Self­consciousness keeps us fighting that battle to control our self­image.But always worrying about our shortcomings certainly traps us in embarrassment and shame.When we introduce our friends to a colleague and forget her name，it's an embarrassing blow to our image，because we think others are viewing us in a negative light.If there are enough embarrassing moments that we begin viewing ourselves badly，then our self­image is ruined and we feel that heavy weight of shame.

　　Creating a belief of success in our lives is one way to end the frightening trap of embarrassment and shame.Successfully completing a difficult project at work builds confidence and leads to future success.Similarly，a satisfying relationship is a prideful accomplishment and helps motivate us to seek other such connections.

　　But how do we take that first brave step away from selfconsciousness in order to feel like(and eventually become) a success？Kill shamecausing situations before they become a threat.The following points may be of some help.

　　Don't be late.Punctuality creates selfdiscipline(自律) and impresses both others and yourself.And it's a healthy habit that keeps you calm about the clock.

　　Stick to the facts.You're likely to get caught lying，so why bother？Lies just set you up with unnecessary opportunities to feel ashamed.

　　Cut the gossip(闲言碎语).Comments made behind your back make you feel upset and angry.Focus on deep，meaningful talks where every conversation can be a chance to realize a dream or accomplish an aim.Don't break your promise.It feels good to be considered reliable，so honor your word no matter what the reasons are for disregarding them.Remember，a promise is a promise.

　　If the damage is already done and you find yourself at the tail end of an embarrassing situation，you can recover gracefully to avoid the feeling of shame.Don't speak in an angry way to cover your tracks—you'll just end up feeling worse and likely complicate a relationship that doesn't need complicating.Try laughing it off or explaining why you made the mistake.

　　Also，don't leave a social situation simply to avoid the people in front of whom you made a mistake—avoidance will leave you feeling further ashamed，alone and unhappy.

　　Here's a very important point to remember：People tend to forget others' mistakes and think about their own.

　　Title：Getting (1) feeling selfconscious

　　Occasions when you feel (2) or

　　ashamed ·Don't know what to say at a meeting.

　　·Worry about your own appearance or (3) .

　　5.lie　6.Keep　7.recovering　8.angrily　9.explanation
