I can still remember the first day when I met my best friend. I hid behind my mother and she hid behind her grandmother,   1  to look at each other. But we soon lost the  2  and started playing with each other. In the 7th grade, I first lost touch with her. She was   3  family problems and I deserted her to be with the “cooler people”.   4  of my new friends like her as much as I did  5  they knew she had “problems”. However, every summer we would   6  sit at each other’s house and watch soap operas and talk about everything we liked.
It was last year when I   7   the problem. I guessed I was just too busy to catch up in high school to realize she   8  someone there for her. Well, she made a new “best friend” and so did I. Then I didn’t know why, but she started cutting herself！
She was diagnosed with clinical depression（抑郁癥）. I was very  9   at first, but with the late night calls, we still stayed in   10 . I wanted to be there for her since her new best friend   11  deserted her, since people were calling her   12 , and I knew I still   13 her like a sister.
Yesterday she came   14  me and said this, “I never knew what a best friend was   15  you were the only person that would stop me from cutting; the only person that ever made me feel better about myself and my  16 . You don’t know this but I was trying to kill myself one night when you   17  me and I was crying. I   18  you so much, and you didn’t even know you were   19  me.”
We both cried. And I guess a kind of lesson from my life so far is to never   20  your friends.

2. C 由“But”可知她們的羞怯很快就沒有了。
3. D 在7年級時，她經(jīng)歷了一些家庭問題。與家庭問題連用應是go through.

5. A “我”的新朋友們不喜歡她是因為她有“問題”。上下句存在因果關系，應用because.
6. D 由每個夏天可知，我們總是一起坐在雙方的家里看肥皂劇，談論我們愛談的事情。

8. B 一個人在家里有問題時，最需要的就是有一個人能夠陪著她。
9. D 當朋友被診斷為“抑郁癥”后，“我”當然是非常難過。

15. A 她過來說“直到你是唯一一個阻止我割傷自己的人，我才知道什么是最好的朋友�！眜ntil的意思是“到……”，與前面的never連用。

17. C 由第三段中的“night calls”可以得出答案。
18. B 由上面這些話語，可知她覺得“我”對她太好了，因此她要表達的是“我欠你太多了”。
19. A 作為最好的朋友，就像關心姐妹一樣關心著對方。因此她說“你甚至沒有意識到你是在幫我”，更表明“我”所做的一切是發(fā)自內心的，并不是為了幫助而幫助。
20. A 整篇文章主要告訴我們：無論朋友處于怎樣的處境，都不要放棄他們。

Between ten and midnight the United States is politically leaderless—there is no center of information anywhere in the nation except in the New York headquarters of the great broadcasting companies and two wire services. No candidate and no party can afford the investment on election night to match the news-gathering resources of the mass media; and so as every citizen sits in his home watching his TV set or listening to his radio, he is the equal of any other in knowledge. There is nothing that can be done in these hours, for no one can longer direct the great strike for America’s power; the polls have closed. Good or bad, whatever the decision, America will accept the decision—and cut down any man who goes against it, even though for millions the decision runs contrary to their own votes. The general vote is an expression of national will, the only substitute for violence and blood. Its decision is to be defended as one defends civilization itself.
There is nothing like this American expression of will in England or France, India or Russia. Only one other major nation in modern history has tried to elect its leader directly by mass, free, popular vote. This was the Weiman Republic of Germany, which modeled its unitary vote for national leaders on the American practice. Out of its experiment with the system it got Hitler. Americans have had Lincoln, Wilson and two Roosevelts. Nothing can be done when the voting returns are flooding in; the White House and its power will move to one or another of the two candidates, and all will know about it in the morning. But for these hours history stops.
小題1:Between ten P.M. and midnight the United States is politically leaderless because ________.
A．the president has been murdered
B．the general strike for power has ended
C．the government has resigned
D．the general vote is being held
小題2:“The great strike for America’s power” in Paragraph 1 refers to ________.
A．the strike of the government members
B．the great vote
C．the election campaign
D．the strike of the government employees
小題3:The author believes that the decision at the polls will ________.
A．lead to a civil warB．result in a general strike
C．cause violence and bloodD．be defended by all Americans
小題4:Without the general vote, the author implies ________.
A．there would be a civil warB．there would be a general strike
C．there would be an election campaignD．there would be a fierce debate

The first day of school our professor introduced himself and challenged us to get to know someone we didn’t know. I stood up to look around when a gentle hand touched my shoulder. I turned around to find a wrinkled, little old lady beaming up at me with a smile that lit up her entire being.
She said, “Hi, girl! My name is Rose. I’m 87 years old. Can I give you a hug?”
I laughed and enthusiastically（熱情地）responded, “Of course you may!” and she gave me a giant squeeze.
“Why are you in college at such a young, innocent age?” I asked. She jokingly replied, “I’m here to meet a rich husband, get married, have a couple of children, and then retire and travel!”
“No seriously,” I said. I was curious what may have motivated her to be taking on this challenge at her age.
“I always dreamed of having a college education and now I’m getting one!” she told me.
Over the course of the year, Rose became a campus icon and she easily made friends wherever she went. She loved to dress up and she reveled in the attention bestowed upon her from the other students. She was living it up.
At the end of the semester we invited Rose to speak at our football banquet. I’ll never forget what she taught us.
“We do not stop playing because we are old; we grow old because we stop playing. There are only two secrets to staying young, being happy, and achieving success. You have to laugh and find humor everyday. You’ve got to have a dream. When you lose your dreams, you die!” she said.
“There is a huge difference between growing older and growing up. If you are nineteen years old and lie in bed for one full year and don’t do one productive thing, you will turn 20 years older. If I am 87 years old, and stay in bed for a year, and never do anything, I will turn 88. Anybody can grow older. But every minute counts for young men,” she added.
“The idea is to grow up by always finding the opportunity in change. Have no regrets. The elderly usually don’t have regrets for what we did, but rather for things we did not do. The only people who fear death are those with regrets.”
She concluded her speech by courageously singing “The Song of Rose”. She challenged each of us to study the lyrics（歌詞）and live them out in our daily lives.
At the year’s end, Rose finished the college degree she had begun all those years ago. One week after graduation Rose died peacefully in her sleep.
4. Rose made herself known to the author in a ______ manner.
A. serious              B. cold           C. humorous          D. crazy
5. From the information provided in the passage, we know ______.
A. Rose finished the college degree within a year
B. Rose did realize her dream of meeting a rich husband and getting married through college education
C. Rose enjoyed her campus life very much
D. Rose grew so old that she stopped playing
6. Rose delivered the speech ______.
A. at the graduation                         B. which she prepared carefully
C. ended with “The Song of Rose”             D. to challenge all the other speakers
7. According to her speech, ______.
A. whenever you have a dream, you succeed 
B. all people don’t grow up while growing older
C. Rose usually regretted having done something
D. a nine-year-old is as old as a 87-year-old if he doesn’t do anything

It was the summer of 1965. Deluca, then 17, visited Peter Buck, a family friend. Buck asked Deluca about his plan for the future. “I’m going to college, but I need a way to pay for it,” Deluca recalls saying. “Buck said, ‘you should open a sandwich shop.’ ”
That afternoon, they agreed to be partners. And they set a goal: to open 32 stores in ten years. After doing some research, Buck wrote a check for $ 1,000. Deluca rented a storefront (店面) in Connecticut, and when they couldn’t cover their start-up costs, Buck kicked in another $1,000.
But business didn’t go smoothly as they expected. Deluca says, “After six months, we were doing poorly, but we didn’t know how badly, because we didn’t have any financial controls.” All he and Buck knew was that their sales were lower than their costs.
Deluca was managing the store and to the University of Bridgeport at the same time. Buck was working at his day job as a nuclear physicist in New York. They’d meet Monday evenings and brainstorm ideas for keeping the business running. “We convinced ourselves to open a second store. We figured we could tell the public, ‘ We are so successful, we are opening a second store.’” And they did — in the spring of 1966. Still, it was a lot of learning by trial and error.
But the partners’ learn-as-you-go approach turned out to be their greatest strength. Every Friday, Deluca would drive around and hand-deliver the checks to pay their supplies. “It probably took me two and a half hours and it wasn’t necessary but as a result, the suppliers got to know me very well, and the personal relationships established really helped out,” Deluca says.
And having a goal was also important. “There are so many problems that can get you down. You just have to keep working toward your goal,” Deluca adds.
Deluca ended up founding Subways Sandwich, the multimillion-dollar restaurant chain.
小題1:Deluca opened the first sandwich shop in order to ________.
A．support his familyB．pay for his college education
C．help his partner expand businessD．do some research
小題2:Which of the following is true of Buck?
A．He put money into the sandwich business.
B．He was a professor of business as ministration.
C．He was studying at the University of Bridgeport.
D．He rented a storefront for Deluca.
小題3:What can we learn about their first shop?
A．It stood at an unfavorable place.
B．It lowered the prices to poor management.
C．It made no profits due to poor management.
D．It lacked control over the quality of sandwich.
小題4:They decided to open a second store because they _________.
A．had enough money to do it
B．had succeeded in their business
C．wished to meet the increasing demand of customers
D．wanted to make believe that they were successful
小題5: What contributes most do their success according to the author?

Have you ever heard the phrase, “Love is blind”? If so, you are already   21  with a type of mistake in our attempts to understand others: halo effects. This type of mistake    22  to the fact that once we form an overall impression of somebody, it could have strong effects on our   23    of his personality.   24 , halo effects are both common and powerful. For example, most organizations contain one or more “superstars”--- people who have earned the reputation for being unusually   25   and capable. Once they have gained such a “halo”, everything they do receives good   26  . Ideas that would be regarded as just so-so if suggested by someone else are seen as    27  when proposed by these persons. And actions that might be considered risky if taken by others are seen as brave when carried out by these “chosen” men and women.
As you can see, halo effects carry high costs. They may lead some persons to have an   28     high opinion of their own worth, while making things  29  for others who are equally deserving. Further, by giving too much influence to persons who are not ready to receive it, and by preventing hidden talent from being   30  , they can harm organizations as well as individuals. Clearly, then, it is important to recognize the existence and impact of halo effects; only then can their harmful effects be avoided.
