A
I came to study in the United States a year ago. Yet I did not know the real
American society until I was injured in a car accident because after the accident I had to see a doctor and go to court.
After the accident, my roommate called a doctor for me. I was very grateful and determined to repay him one day. But the next day, he asked me to pay him $200 for what he had done. I was astonished. He had good reason to charge me, he said. And if I wanted to collect money from the person who was responsible for my injury, I’d have to have a good lawyer. And only a good doctor can help me get a good lawyer. Now that he had helped me find a good doctor, it was only fair that I should pay him. But every day I went to see the doctor, I had to wait about 50 minutes. He would see two or three patients at the same time, and often stop treating one so as to see another. Yet he charged me $115 each time.The final examination report consisted of ten lines,
and it cost me $215.
My lawyer was all smiles the first time we met. But after that he avoided seeing me at all. He knew very well the other party was responsible for the accident, yet he hardly did anything. He simply waited to collect his money. He was so irresponsible that I decided to dismiss him. And he made me pay him $770. Now I had to act as my own lawyer. Due to my inexperience, I told the insurance company the date I was leaving America. Knowing that, they played for time…and I left without getting a cent.

B. he thought it was a chance to make some money C. he knew the doctor was a very good one D. he wanted the author to have a good lawyer 2. A good doctor is essential for the author to __________. A. be properly treated
B. talk with the person responsible for the accident C. recover before he leaves America

Most people usually traveled by ship and train which are driven by steam engine. It played an important part in many kinds of vehicles several scores of years ago. Who invented steam engine and what units could be used to measure the power of engine?
The word “horse-power” was first used two hundred years ago. James Watt from a worker?s family made the world first widely used steam engine. At first, he couldn’t tell people how powerful it was, because there were no units at that time. Watt decided to find out how much work one strong horse could do in one minute. He named that unit one horse-power. In this way he could measure the work of his steam engine.
He discovered that a horse could lift a 3300-pound weight 10 feet into the air in one minute. His engine could lift a 3300-pound weight 100 feet in one minute. Because his engine did ten times as much work as the horse, Watt called it a ten horse-power engine.
6. The main idea of the passage is _____. A. James Watt invented the steam engine
B. James Watt first used horse-power as a unit of measure C. how much power does a horse have
D. why Watt’s engine is called a ten horse-power engine 7. The story says that Watt made the first ____.

A. measure the work his engine could do B. tell people how powerful his engine was
C. lift a 3300-pound weight D. both A and B 10. One horse-power means the ____.

C
Too many people want others to be their friends, but they don’t give friendship back. That is why some friendships don’t last very long. To have a friend, you must learn to treat your friend the way you want your friend to treat you. Learning to be a good friend means learning three rules: be honest; be generous (宽宏大量的)；be understanding.
Honesty is where a good friendship starts. Friends must be able to trust one another. If you don’t tell the truth, people usually find out. If a friend finds out that you haven’t been honest, you may lose your friend’s trust.Good friends always count on one another to speak and act honestly.
Generosity means sharing and sharing makes a friendship grow. You don’t have to give your lunch money or your clothes, or enjoy, like our hobbies and your interests. Naturally you will want to share your ideas and feelings. These can be very valuable to a friend. They tell your friend what is important to you. By sharing them you help your friend know you better.
Sooner or later everyone needs understanding and help with a problem. Something may go wrong at school. Talking about the problem can make it easier to solve. Turning to a friend can be a first step in solving the problem. So to be a friend you must listen and understand. You must try to put yourself in your friend’s place so you can understand the problem better.
No two friendships are ever exactly alike (相同). But all true friendships have
three things in common. If you plan to keep your friendships, you must practice honesty, generosity and understanding.
11. Some friendships don’t last very long because________. A. there are too many people who want to make friends. B. they don’t know friendship is something serious
C. those who give others friendships receive friendships from others D. those who never give others friendships receive no friendship from others
12. According to the passage, honesty is________.
A. as important as money B. more important than anything else C. something countable D. the base of a friendship 13. Which of the following is NOT true in the passage? A. A friend who gives you his lunch money is a true friend. B. Always tell your friend the truth.
C. Discussing your problems with your friend often helps to solve the problem.
D. Sharing your mind with your friend is of great value.
14. According to the author, how do you help your friend know you better?
A. Ask your friend for everything. B. Don’t tell the truth to your friend.
C. Share your ideas and feelings with your friend. D. Give your lunch money or your clothes to your friend. 15. The best title of this passage is _______.
A. A Friend in Need Is a Friend Indeed B. Honesty Is the Best Habit C. How to Be a Friend D. Three Important Points in Life 第二节 七选五（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） How to Be a Good Friend
Being a good friend isn't always easy. As the years pass, some people will stay by your side, but many won't. And you'll realize that each friendship you keep is priceless. Of course, to have a good friend, you should remember the following tips: ◆Keep your promises. __16__ Nobody's perfect, and it's okay if you skip out on a promise occasionally, but don't make it a regular thing.
◆__17__ Your friend will need you for support, especially in hard times. It's hard to rely on a person who doesn't behave in a consistent and trustworthy way.
◆Apologize when you've made a mistake. __18__ If you know you've made a mistake, just say sorry. Though your friends won't be happy that you made a mistake, they'll be very pleased if you admit it instead of just pretending that nothing is wrong. ◆Be honest. If you want to be a good friend and to have people trust you, then you have to be honest about your feelings and about how you feel about your friendship. __19__ If your friend hurts you, don't be afraid to talk about it.
◆Be loyal. __20__ Just do it as you'd expect your friend to do for you. Don't discuss
your friend behind his or her back, and don't spread rumors. A．Be dependable.
B．Take an interest in his / her hobby. C．Don't make a promise that you can't keep.
D．If you're honest about how you feel, that will make your friends more likely to open up to you.
E．If you want your friends to trust you, then you can't act like you're perfect.
F．If your friend tells you a secret, keep it and don't talk about it with anyone else.
G．All the same, you don't always have to agree with him just because he is your friend.
