A high school history teacher once told us, “If you make one close friend in school, you will be most fortunate. A   21  friend is someone who stays with you for life”.   22  teaches that he was right. Good friendship is just not easily   23  .
It is possible that we simply do not stay in one place   24  enough for true
friendship to develop. However, there can be   25  disagreement on the need for each of us to think carefully about the kind of friendship we want.
To most of us, friendships are considered very important,   26  we need to
have it clear in our minds the kinds of friendship we want. Are they to be close or   27  at arm’s length? Do we want to   28  ourselves or do we want to walk on the surface? For some people, many friendships on the surface are   29  enough. And that’s all right. But at some   30  we need to make sure that our expectations are the same as our friends’ expectations. The sharing of personal experience including our tears as well as our dark   31  is the surest way to deepen friendships. But it must   32  slowly and carried on only if there are   33  of interest and action in return.
What are some of the   34  of our friendship? The greatest is to   35  too
much too soon. Deep relationships   36  time. Another “major difficulty” is the selfishness to think one “possesses” the other, including his time and attention.   37 , friendships require actions in return. In other words, you must   38  as much as you take. Finally there is a question of taking care of. Unless you spend   39  time together, talking on the phone, writing letters, doing things together, friendships will die   40  .

  If there is one thing I’m sure about, it is that in a hundred years from now we will still be reading newspapers. It is not that newspapers are a necessity. Even now some people get most of their news from television or radio. Many buy a paper only on Saturday or Sunday. But for most people reading a newspaper has become a habit passed down from generation to generation.
The nature of what is news may change. What basically makes news is what affects our lives—the big political stories, the coverage of the wars, earthquakes and other disasters, will continue much the same. I think there will be more coverage of scientific research, though. It’s already happening in areas that may directly affect our lives, like genetic(基因)engineering. In the future, I think there will be more coverage of scientific explanations of why we feel as we do—as we develop a better understanding of how the brain operates and what our feelings really are.
It’s quite possible that in the next century newspapers will be transmitted(傳送)electronically from Fleet Street and printed out in our own home. In fact, I’m pretty sure how it will happen in the future. You will probably be able to choose from a menu, making up your own newspaper by picking out the things you want to read—sports and international news, etc. .
I think people have got it wrong when they talk about competition between the different media. They actually feed off each other. Some people once foresaw that television would kill off newspapers, but that hasn’t happened. What is read on the printed page lasts longer than pictures on a screen or sound lost in the air. And as for the Internet, it’s never really pleasant to read something  just  on  a screen.
小題1:.
. What is the best title for the passage?
A The Best Way to Get News
B The Changes of Media
C  Make Your Own Newspaper
D The Future of Newspaper
小題2:.
In the writer’s opinion, in the future,_____.
A. more big political affairs, wars and disasters will make news
B. newspapers will not be printed in publishing houses any longer
C newspapers will cover more scientific research
D more and more people will watch TV
小題3:.
From the passage, we can infer____.
A newspapers will win the competition among the different media
B newspapers will stay with us together with other media
C television will take the place of newspaper
D the writer believes some media will die out
小題4:.
. The phrase “feed off” in the last paragraph means____.
A depend on       B compete with                   C fight with       D kill off

With fears of a possible nuclear meltdown(核反應(yīng)堆堆芯的熔毀) in Japan building up, evidence has come to light that the nation received warnings over the stability of its power plants from an international watchdog more than two years ago.
　　As the Telegraph is reporting, an official from the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) said in December 2008 that safety rules were out of date, and strong earthquakes would cause a “serious problem” for the power stations.
　　A U.S. embassy document, by quoting（引用）an unnamed expert, states: “He (the IAEA official) explained that safety guides for earthquakes have only been updated three times in the last 35 years and that the IAEA is now re-examining them. Also, the presenter noted recent earthquakes in some cases have gone beyond the design basis for some nuclear plants, and that this is a serious problem that is now driving earthquake safety work.”
　　The Telegraph also reports that the government responded to the warnings by building an emergency response center at the Fukushima Daiichi plant designed to resist magnitude-7.0 earthquakes. Friday's earthquake, originally named a magnitude-8.9 shock, has since been upgraded to magnitude-9.0.
　　Other nuclear experts state IAEA officials had willingly ignored lessons from the Chernobyl disaster to protect the nuclear industry's expansion, reports Bloomberg. “After Chernobyl, all the force of the nuclear industry was directed to hide this event, for not creating damage to their reputation,”Russian nuclear accident specialist Iouli Andreyev tells Reuters, before noting that radiation from spent fuel rods（棒）stored close to reactors at Fukushima looked like an example of putting profit before safety. “The Japanese were very greedy, and they used every square inch of the space. But when you have a dense(密集的) placing of spent fuel in the basin, you have a high possibility of fire if the water is removed from the basin.”
小題1: From the passage, we know that ____________.
A．people fear that the nuclear meltdown will possibly become more and more serious in Japan
B．people are becoming more and more afraid of a possible nuclear meltdown in Japan
C．Japan made no response to the warnings over the safety of its power plants
D．Iouli Andreyev warned Japan not to store spent fuel rods close to reactors
小題2: Which of the following is true according to the passage?
A．Japan was warned of the stability of its power plants when they were built over 2 years ago.
B．Safety guides for earthquakes should be updated three times in 35 years.
C．The emergency response centre at the Fukushima Daiichi plant can not resist Friday’s
earthquake.
D．IAEA officials advised Japan to ignore lessons from the Chernobyl disaster.
小題3: IAEA officials were willing to ignore lessons from the Chernobyl disaster because they want ________.
A．to put profit before safety.B．the nuclear industry to develop
C．to protect the reputation of JapanD．every inch of land to be made good use of
小題4:The writer develops this passage mainly by__________.
A．making comments B．providing facts
C．quoting what experts say D．a(chǎn)nalysing what happened

  All schoolchildren should have "happiness" lessons up to the age of 18 to combat(fight) growing levels of depression, according to a senior Government adviser.
Pupils should study subjects such as how to manage feelings, attitudes to work and money, channeling (引導(dǎo)) negative emotions and even how to take a critical view of the media, said Lord Layard, a professor of economics at the London School of Economics.
The proposal comes only days after the Government said that lessons in manners—including respect for the elderly and how to say "please" and "thank you" should be taught in secondary schools to combat bad behavior.
Lord Layard said, "Learning hard things takes an enormous amount of practice. To play the violin well takes10,000 hours of practice. How can we expect people to learn to be happy without massive amounts of practice and repetition?"
It is believed that at least two percent of British children under 12 now struggle with significant depression. Among teenagers, the figure rises to five percent. AUNICEF study involving 21 developed countries showed that British children were the least satisfied with their lives, while the World Health Organization predicts that childhood psychiatric (精神)disorders will rise by 50 percent by 2020.
In a speech at Cambridge University, Lord Layard said the Government's lessons in manners did not go far enough. "We need a commitment to producing a major specialism in this area, with a serious teacher training program," he said.
However, happiness lessons have been criticized by academics. Frank Furedi, a sociology professor at Kent University and author of Therapy Culture, said, "In pushing emotional literacy, what some teachers are really doing is abandoning teaching. They are giving up and talking about emotions instead, so that children value all this non-discipline-led activity more than math, English or science. What is amazing about this is that time and time again, research says that it does not work. "
小題1: Frank Furedi believes that ______.
A．happiness lessons should be taught to children
B．happiness lessons are just a waste of time
C．formal teaching can go side by side with happiness lessons
D．formal teaching should not give way to happiness lessons
小題2: We can conclude from the passage that _______.
A．the British Government hasn't fully realized the problems with British students
B．Lord Layard thinks little of the Government's lessons in manners
C．British students are not well-behaved enough
D．lessons in manners have brought about positive changes in British students
小題3: Which of the following methods does Lord Layard use to show learning to be happy takes practice?
A．Comparison.B．Description.C．Argument.D．Analysis.
小題4: What does Lord Layard think of the Government's lessons in manners?
A．They are quite enough to solve the present problem.
B．They can hardly meet the special demands of education.
C．They are only focused on a major specialism.
D．They will probably end up in failure.
小題5:What do we know about British children from the passage? 
A．They are the least happy among 21 developed countries.
B．They suffer depression at an earlier age.
C．They are the easiest to suffer childhood psychiatric disorders.
D．Their standard of living is the lowest among 21 developed countries.

Before astronauts can go into space, they have to have the right suit. That’s why NASA（美國國家航天和航空局）scientists are developing a new kind of space suit——lighter and more flexible than before. These new space suits will have lots of mobility(靈活性) for the astronauts, but will not need much maintenance. NASA wants the suits to include new technology that can help astronauts be safe in outer space.
Right now, the American space suit weighs about 275 pounds and is big and massive. But the suit is also easy to work in for long periods of time. The Russian space suit is less complicated, but is used only a few times and then gets thrown away.
“Finding the right balance is always going to be a challenge,” said a long-time astronaut Jeff Williams. Williams has worn both types of suits. Space suits protect astronauts from both extreme heat and freezing temperatures. They carry life-packs with oxygen for the astronauts. They also shield astronauts from radiation, or particles that send out harmful rays.
Scientists are using computers to design the new suits. This allows them to change the design again and again, and to even test the design out before actually making anything. “There’s a lot more capable tools and technology to get the job done——a lot more knowledge, as well,” said Joe Kosmo. Kosmo helped design, develop, and test suits during the Mercury, Gemini, Apollo, Skylab, and shuttle periods.
These new space suits will be much lighter and use a new kind of complex material. They also will have a smaller life support backpack, thanks to tiny electronics. NASA hopes to have the first prototypes(原型) in development by 2010 and certify(證明) the suit by 2012. This will be in time for the launch of the Orion spaceship in 2014.
小題1: What characteristic does the new space suit have?
A．The new space suit will need much maintenance.
B．The new space suit will be heavier than before.
C．The new space suit will have less mobility than before.
D．The new suit will use new technology to help astronauts be safe in outer space.
小題2:What’s the disadvantage of the Russian space suit?
A．The Russian space suit is big and massive.
B．The Russian space suit is much complicated.
C．The Russian space suit is merely used a few times.
D．The Russian space suit is easy to work in for long periods of time.
小題3:The underlined word “shield” in the third paragraph might mean_______.
A．harmB．protectC．helpD．warn
小題4:Why can scientists test the design out before actually making the new space suits?
A．Because designing the new space suit is not a complex task.
B．Because computers are being used to help scientists design the new space suits.
C．Because it needs little knowledge to design the new space suits.
D．Because the scientists only change the old space suits a little and make them into the new ones.
小題5:How long will it take scientists to put the new space suits from prototypes into the first practical use?
A．Two years.B．Three years.C．Four years.D．Six years.

In the future your automobile（汽車） will run on water instead of gas! You will be able to buy a supercomputer that fits in your pocket! You might even drive a flying car!
For each prediction that has come true today, several others have missed by a mile. Many of these predictions didn’t consider how people would want to use the technology, or if people really needed it in their lives or not. Let’s look at some predictions from the not-too-distant past.
Robot Helpers
Where’s the robot in my kitchen? Nowhere, of course. And he’s probably not coming anytime soon. Robots do exist today, but mostly in factories and other manufacturing environments.
Back in the 1950s, however, people said that by now personal robots would be in most people’s homes.
So why hasn’t it happened?  Probably because robots are still too expensive and clumsy. And maybe the idea of robots cooking our dinners and washing our clothes is just too weird. At home we seem to be doing fine without them.
Telephones of Tomorrow
In 1964 an American company introduced the video telephone. They said by the year 2000 most people would have a video phone in their homes. But of course the idea hasn’t caught on yet.
Why? The technology worked fine, but it over—looked something obvious: people’s desire for privacy（隱私）. Would you want to have a video phone conversation with someone after you just step out of the shower（淋�。�?  Probably not---it could be embarrassing! Just because a technology available doesn’t always mean people will want to use it.
And finally, how about that crazy prediction of the flying car? It’s not so crazy anymore! But a flying car remains one of the most fascinating technology ideas to capture our imagination. Keep watching the news, or perhaps the sky outside your window, to see what the future will bring.
小題1:
The whole passage is mainly about ________________.
A．predictions that have come true.B．predictions that haven’t come true.
C．why predictions don’t come true easily.D．what technology will bring about.
小題2:
The author of this passage won’t believe that _________________.
A．predictions needn’t consider people’s practical use of technology.
B．the future isn’t always easy to guess.
C．not all past predictions have come true.
D．many of the high—tech things our parents thought we’d be using by now
simply never appeared.
小題3:
The underlined word “weird” probably means __________.
A．wonderfulB．stupidC．practicalD．strange
小題4:
What does the author think of the flying car?
A．It is too difficult to imagine.B．It is too crazy an idea.
C．It is likely to be made.D．It is often reported in the news.

Astronauts’ meals have come a long way from the free-dried powders and semi—liquid pastes of decades ago，now US scientists want to grow vegetables in mini—greenhouses on the moon．
Scientists say they are looking forward to a time when residents of future lunar or even Martian outsteps will be able to dine on fresh vegetables．Paragon Space Development Corporation has unveiled what it called the first step toward growing flowers——and eventually food on the moon．
This is a sealed greenhouse that looks like a bell jar encased in a 46-cm triangular aluminiumframe．It is designed to safely land a laboratory plant on the lunar surface，and protect it while it grows．
The miniature greenhouse is to be launched into space by Odyssey Moon Ltd, a participant in the Google Lunar X Prize. This competition offers $21 million to any entrant who can launch, land and operate a rover on the lunar surface.
Paragon officials say future testing of the “Lunar Oasis” will be driven by Odyssey’s flight Schedule, which will not happen until 2012 at the earliest．
When it does lift off the greenhouse will contain the seeds of Brassica, a hardy plant related to Brussels sprouts and cabbage. Because Brassica goes from seed to flower in just 14 days, it can complete its life cycle in a single lunar night.
“Colonizing the Moon or Mars seems so far away，but it is important that we do this research now. ”Paragon president Jane Poynter said．
“It takes a long time to get a lot of research, and to get integrated, reliable efficient systems before colonists move in. ”she said．
小題1:The article is written mainly to__________．
A．predict the astronauts’ meals in the future
B．introduce an experiment “Lunar Oasis’’
C．tell us the future development of astronomy
D．focus on the human’s great progress
小題2:The article implies that__________．
A．a(chǎn)stronauts can grow flowers in space at present
B．Paragon and NASA will carry out the test separately
C．Lunar Oasis is a series of experiments carried out in space
D．the earliest testing of the Lunar Oasis may be in 2012
小題3:The underlined word “colonists” in the last paragraph probably has the meaning of______．
A．plantsB．wild beastsC．human beingsD．scientists
小題4:The seeds of Brassica will be contained in the greenhouse mainly because _________.
A．their life cycle is much shorter
B．they are more nutritious than other food
C．they are related to Brussels sprouts and cabbage
D．they are very delicious

Lichens (地衣) are difficult to see. They don’t move. They often mix into the living place. You might not even recognize one if you are looking right at it.
Lichens live on rocks, branches, houses, and even metal street signs. You can find these colorful organisms (微生物) almost everywhere — from deserts to rainforests, and from Antarctica to Africa. They’ve traveled in outer space, and some scientists think there might even be lichens on Mars.
What you probably don’t realize is that a lichen is more than a single thing. It includes two different types of living organisms: a fungus (菌類) and an alga (藻類). Neither of these organisms is a plant, so the lichen isn’t a plant either.
Through photosynthesis (光合作用), the alga gets the sun’s energy to make food for the fungus, which is the place for the alga to live in. However, the alga cannot leave the fungus.
Around the world, scientists have found tens of thousands of types of lichens. Many may not even have been discovered yet. As scientists continue to find new kinds of lichens, they are also working to understand how they are connected to one another. By putting together a lichen family tree, they hope to understand why so many different types of lichens have grown in so many places around the world.
Many researchers are trying to understand basic facts about the organisms and their connections. Researchers are also using lichens to examine the health of the environment.
小題1:What do we know about lichens according to the passage?
A．They will die if they leave Earth.
B．There are more lichens than plants on Earth.
C．They look similar to the environment around them.
D．They are too small to be easily seen by people.
小題2:What does the second paragraph mainly talk about?
A．The way lichens live.
B．The natural environment of lichens.
C．The way lichens work as organisms.
D．The family tree of lichens.
小題3:Which of the following statements is NOT the scientists’ purposes of studying lichens?
A．To understand basic facts about them.
B．To creat a lichen family tree.
C．To understand how lichens are related to each other.
D．To understand why lichens can live in different places.
小題4:We can know from the passage that __________.
A．lichens can be used to better understand the environment
B．lichens don’t have any differences in colors or sizes
C．lichens don’t use photosynthesis like a green plant
D．scientists have discovered every kind of lichen

Topping the class academically was certainly an advantage. For Nigel, studying was a piece of cake. The reward was certainly much bigger compared to the little effort Nigel had made. It all began when he was selected to help the teachers in the computer laboratories. And the peak of his school career came not when he topped the class but when he was selected for the nationwide competition.
Unlike everyone else, Nigel wanted to join in the contest because he liked playing with the Lego sets(樂高積木) and making something out of them. Nigel spent two months building his robot. It was during the time that Nigel found out about the big prize for the competition as well as a competitive rival(對手), Alicia, from a neighboring school. His early intentions were forgotten. Getting the thousand-dollar prize was more important than anything else. Nigel decided to make friends with Alicia. Unaware of his intentions, she told him all about the robot that she had been building for the competition. He even helped her to put the finishing touches(收尾工作) to her robot. He was glad with the way things had progressed. His robot looked even better than Alicia's and it was able to play a ball with its arm, something Alicia had failed to do.
On the day of the competition, he saw Alicia. Everything became clear the minute she saw him among the competitors. She stared at him, puzzled at first, then angry and finally a look of helplessness came over her.
The flashbulbs (閃光燈) of the camera exploded in Nigel's face. The robot had performed actions so unique and different that the specialists' judgments were the same. Nigel was so pleased with himself that he did not even notice the girl standing a few feet away from him. Without her, he would never have won the competition.
小題1:What reward did Nigel receive for doing well in his school work?
A．He was offered a part-time job.B．He was honored with a scholarship.
C．He helped his teachers build a robot.D．He helped in the computer laboratories.
小題2:Nigel's original intention of joining the contest was to ___     .
A．win honor for his schoolB．be the top student of the school
C．build a robot with the Lego setsD．win the thousand-dollar prize
小題3:Why did Nigel help Alicia finish her robot?
A．He intended to help her.B．He was fond of building robots.
C．He wanted to be her real friend. D．He didn't want her to suspect (懷疑) him.
小題4:What is the author's attitude towards Nigel's actions?
A．Favorable B．Critical (批評的)C．Doubtful D．Sympathetic
