四、閱讀理解 （共15 小題，30分）

閱讀下面四篇短文，從各題A、B、C、D 四個(gè)選項(xiàng)中選出最佳答案。

I like friends who share my happiness and sorrow,and who possess wings of their own and fly with me. I seek friends whose qualities illuminate(照亮)me and help me to express my love. It is for these people that I reserve the glowing hours, too good not to share.

When I was in the eighth grade, I had a friend. We were shy and “too serious” about our studies when it was becoming fashionable with our classmates to learn acceptable social behaviors. We said little at school, but she would come to my house and we would sit down with pencils and paper, and one of us would say,“Let’s start with a train whistle today.” We would sit quietly together and write poems or stories that grew out of a train whistle. Then we would read them aloud. At the end of that school year, we too, were changing into social creatures and the stories and poems stopped.

    When I lived for a time in London, I had a friend. He was in despair(失望) and I was in despair, but our friendship was based on the idea that we would be sorry later if we did not explore this great city because we felt awful at the time. We met every Sunday for five weeks and visited many wonderful places. We walked until our despair disappeared and then we parted. We gave London to each other.

    For almost four years I have had a remarkable friend whose imagination illuminates mine. We write long letters to each other in which we often discover our strangest selves. Each of us appears, sometimes in a funny way, in the other’s dreams. She and I agree that, at certain times, we seem to be parts of the same mind. In my most interesting moments, I often think: “Yes, I must tell…” We have never met.

    It is such comforting companions I wish to keep. One bright hour with their kind is worth more to me than the lifetime services of a psychologist(心理學(xué)家), who will only fill up the healing(愈合的) silence necessary to those darkest moments in which I would rather be my own best friend.

1. In the eighth grade, what did the author do while her classmates started developing proper social behavior?

A. Become serious about her studies.                B. Went to her friend’s house regularly.     

C. Learned from her claamates at school.           D. Wrote poems and stories with her friend.

A. call each other regularly            B. have similar personalities

第四部分閱讀理解（共15小題；每小題2分，滿分30分）
A
In the summer of 1978 an English farmer was driving his tractor through a field of wheat when he discovered that some of his wheat was lying flat on the ground. The flattened(變平的) wheat formed a circle about six meters across. Around this circle were four smaller circles of flattened wheat. The five circles were in a formation(構(gòu)造) like five dots （點(diǎn)）. During the following years, farmers in England found the strange circles in their fields more and more often.
The circles are called “crop circles” because they appear in the fields of grain—usually wheat or corn. The grain in the circles lies flat on the ground but is never broken; it continues to grow, and farmers can later harvest it .Farmers always discover the crop circles in the morning, so the circles probably form at night. They appear only in the months from May to September.
At first, people thought that the circles were a hoax. Probably young people were making them as a joke ,or farmers were making them to attract tourists .To prove that the circles were a hoax, people tried to make circles exactly like the ones that farmers had found. They couldn’t do it .They couldn’t enter a field of grain without leaving tracks, and they couldn’t flatten the grain without breaking it.
Many people believe that beings from outer space are making the circles to communicate（交流）with us from far away and that the crop circles are messages from them.
Scientists who have studied the crop circles suggested several possibilities. Some scientists say that a downward rush of wind leads to the formation of the circles—the same downward rush of air that sometimes causes an airplane to crash（墜毀）.Other scientists say that forces within the earth cause the circles to appear. There is one problem with all these scientific explanations: crop circles often appear in formations, like the five-dot formation. It is hard to believe that any natural force could form those.
61. In the summer of 1978 , an English farmer discovered in his field that______.      
A．some of his wheat had been damaged
B．his grain was growing up in circles
C．his grain was moved into several circles
D．some of his wheat had fallen onto the ground
62. According to the text, the underlined part “hoax” (line 1, para.3 ) probably means       .
A．a(chǎn)n action made to fool people
B．a(chǎn) special way to plant crops
C．a(chǎn) research on the force of winds
D．a(chǎn)n experiment for the protection of crops
63. Which of the following may prove that the crop circles are not made by man？
A．The farmers couldn’t step out of the field.
B．The farmers couldn’t make the circles round.
C．The farmers couldn’t leave without footprints.
D．The farmers couldn’t keep the wheat straight up.
64. That the crop circles are made by       is probably true.
A．a(chǎn)ir movement                               B．a(chǎn)irplane crashes
C．new farming techniques                 D．unknown flying objects

四、閱讀理解（共20小題；每小題1.5分，滿分30分）

閱讀下列短文，然后從49－68各題所給的四個(gè)選項(xiàng)A、B、C和D中，選出最佳選項(xiàng)，并標(biāo)在試卷的相應(yīng)位置。

 Everyone should learn to apologize. Apology languages do work. Have you ever tried to make an apology, only to be refused? It may be that you were offering partial apology in a “l(fā)anguage” that was foreign to your listener. The five languages of apology include:

Apology Language 1: “I am sorry.”

List the hurtful effects of your action. NOT “I am sorry if…”, but “I am sorry that…”. You might ask if they want to add any points that you have not recognized.

Apology Language 2: “I was wrong.”

Name your mistake and accept your fault. Note that it is easier to say “You are right. ” than “ I am wrong.”, but the latter carries more weight.

Apology Language 3: “What can I do to make it right?”

How are you now? How shall I make amends for my mistake? How can I RESTORE YOUR CONFIDENCE that I love you even though I was so hurtful to you?

Apology Language 4: “I will try not to do that again.”

Engage in problem-solving. Do not make excuses for yourself such as: “Well, my day has just been so …” Instead, offer what you will change to prevent yourself putting them in the same bad situation again.

Apology Language 5: “Will you please forgive me?”

Be patient in seeking forgiveness. They may need some time or greater clarification of your input from Apology Languages 1-4.

Finally, your apology may not be accepted, but at least you know that you have been faithful in offering a sincere olive branch of peace.

49. According to the 1st paragraph, your apology may be refused mainly because ________.

     A. your apology is not made loudly enough

     B. your apology is not expressed well enough

C. your listeners can’t hear what you said clearly

     D. your listeners can’t understand your language well

         A. I am wrong.                                                        B. I am sorry that I hurt you.

         C. I will try not to do that again.                        D. Well, my day has just been so upsetting.

51. What does the underlined phrase “make amends” (Paragraph 4) refer to?

A. make improvement                                         B. make mistakes

C. make up for wrongdoing                                 D. make up a conversation

第四部分閱讀理解（共15個(gè)小題，每小題1分，滿分15分）

In the western part of the United States where the Indians lived, a little mouse called the “bean mouse” became a guide to rich stores of good and tasty difficult-to-find food. Each season, the little animal would work very hard to search out the rare beans, and “cache” them away in its nest (窩). The Indians learned of this and found out the hiding place. They collected most of the beans for themselves. When the mouse returned to its home and found only a few of the tasty beans left, it set to work, harder than ever before, gathering more beans. This was a fine thing for the Indians, who had only to look for the nest, while the mouse had to look for the beans. But the Indians returned the favour (恩惠，善意) by always making sure that the animal had enough for the winter.
