解析:

 本文主要從以下幾個時期介紹了“朋友”的概念:在幼兒園時給你一支紅蠟筆的人就是好朋友;在小學(xué)陪你去洗澡等的人也是好朋友;在中等學(xué)校(secondary school)與你一起去參加晚會的人也是好朋友;上大學(xué)前幫助你挑選并進入大學(xué)的人也是你的好友……

1. A 結(jié)合全文可看出,此處說的是“在小學(xué)時”你對好朋友的概念或看法,即 your idea of a good friend。

2. C 從 as you walked through the scary(可怕的) halls(當(dāng)你走過可怕的大廳時)可推測此處應(yīng)填 held,也就是說“攥緊你的手”(讓你不要害怕)。

3. C 結(jié)合下文“……當(dāng)你把午飯忘在公交車上時”可知該題選擇shared,即“與你一起分享他們的午餐”。

4. D “l(fā)eave… + 地點狀語”表示“把……忘在……”此句意為“當(dāng)你把你的午飯忘在了公交車上時”。yours 在此指的是 your lunch。

5. B 從 on the back of the bus for you 來看,此處說的是“為你在車后部給你占座位”,故用 seat。

6. C 此處選 who,它引導(dǎo)的是一個賓語從句(不是定語從句),該句意思為:知道你迷戀誰,但從沒有理解為什么。

7. B 前面提到了幼兒園、小學(xué),后面又提到了 pre-university(上大學(xué)前),而 college(大學(xué))又在 pre-university 之后,故選擇 secondary。secondary school 意為“中學(xué)”。

8. D 從搭配上看,此處應(yīng)用 copy。check one’s homework 意為“檢查作業(yè)”,而 copy one’s homework 意為“抄作業(yè)”。從孩提時對朋友的看法來看用 copy 更合乎這一時期的學(xué)生心理。

9. B 根據(jù)“和你一塊去參加很‘酷’的晚會”和“你不會以新手而結(jié)束”可知,前句為原因,后句為結(jié)果,也就是說前后為因果關(guān)系,故選擇so。

10. D 此句指“他們不讓你獨自吃午餐”!蔼氉浴笔侵缚陀^上的一個人,故選alone。

11. D 從后面 in their new car 來看,rides 為最佳答案,即“讓你搭乘他們的新車”。

12. D 前面說:你和 Nick 或 Susan 分手,再結(jié)合后面括號中的(both without dates),可知此處選擇 date,意為“找個日期去舞會或與你一塊去舞會來安慰你”。

13. D 前面說“幫你選擇大學(xué)”,可推測下句為“讓你有信心進入這所大學(xué)”,故用 university。

14. C 在此,deal with 應(yīng)理解為“關(guān)照”。主句意為“幫助你照看你父母”,可推知你走后父母的日子相對來說比較艱辛,故用 hard。

15. D 寫到這里應(yīng)該是成年人時期了,故用 adulthood。

16. B 此處選擇 when,它引導(dǎo)一個時間狀語從句。該句意思為:當(dāng)你不能在家照顧父母時好朋友卻在那里(照顧你父母)。

17. A 在第 2 段中曾提到“你和 Nick 或 Susan”分手,這里是說“你和 Nick 或 Susan又言歸于好(be back together)”。

18. A 此處說的是與以前的 Nick 或 Susan 恢復(fù)了關(guān)系,再結(jié)合下文at 18 years of memories 可知此處應(yīng)選 looked,look at 為“看到”,即 looked through blurry eyes at 18 years of memories(透過模糊的雙眼看到了 18 年來的思念或記憶)。

19. C 在這里是說“讓你相信就像這 18 年(獲得愛情)一樣你一定能成功”。make it 為短語,意為“成功地做到;達到目的”。

20. D 從上下文來看,此處說的是“最重要的是送你上大學(xué)并讓你懂得有人愛你”。send off 為“為……送行”,send sb off to 意為“送……去……”。

Animals seem to have the sense to eat when they are hungry and they do not eat more than their bodies need.It has been demonstrated(證明)that rats will, when given a choice over a period of time, prefer water with vitamins to water without vitamins even though there is no difference in taste or smell between the two water bottles.When a fragrant(香的)flavor(作料)was added to the vitamin-enriched water, the rats did seem to prefer it and kept drinking it ,even after the vitamins were switched to the clear water.In time, however, they broke the habit and went back to where the necessary vitamins were.

In a classic experiment, babies of 6 to 12 months old were placed in a cafeteria(自助) feeding arrangement, with a wide selection of baby food before them.They were given whatever food they pointed to or appeared interested in.We are told that at first they showed some unusual eating patterns, but that over a period of time they managed to select well-balanced diet.

So, in selecting food, rats and babies do seem to know and act on what's best for them.Apparently, there is a kind of “body wisdom”,  which humans soon lose.Most of us do not eat as wisely as we could.Many of our food preferences are culturally determined and influenced by long-established habits.Some people eat fox, dog and blackbirds, while we eat cows and pigs.So what people eat and how much they eat seems to be greatly influenced by what is going on around them.

In the experiment on rats, a fragrant flavor was added to the rats’ drinking water to _____________ .

   A. encourage rats to drink vitamins-enriched water

   B. find out rats’ preference in flavor

   C. test whether rats know which drink is good for them

   D. demonstrate the vitamins are tasteless

According to the passage ,adults eating habits differ from those of babies because_________.

A.a(chǎn)dults know better than babies what kind of food are good for their health

B.a(chǎn)dults usually cannot resist the temptation of various delicious foods

C.a(chǎn)dults' eating habits are closely related to the social and cultural customs

D.a(chǎn)dults have more choices of food than babies in eating patterns

The author implied in the passage that most of us_________.

A.eat a balanced diet                      

B.choose the food that is of nutrition

C.have the habits influenced by the surroundings 

D.like to eat the food with a fragrant flavor.

As far as their eating habits are concerned, babies and rats are similar in that_________.

B.both prefer flavored food and drink

C.both have the same eating patterns

D.both develop a taste for the same kinds of flavors

A computer virus is a program or piece of code that is loaded onto your computer without your knowledge and runs against your wishes. All computer viruses are manmade. Here are some virus prevention tips.

Do not open any files attached to an e-mail from an unknown, suspicious or untrustworthy source.

Do not open any files attached to an e-mail unless you know what it is, even if it appears to come from a dear friend or someone you know. Some viruses can replicate(復(fù)制) themselves and spread through e-mail. Better be safe that sorry and confirm that they really sent it .

Do not open any files attached to an e-mail if the subject line is questionable or unexpected. If the need to do so is there always save the file to your hard drive before doing so.

Be careful when downloading files from the Internet. Ensure that the source is a legitimate(合法的)and reputable one. Verify(證實)that an anti-virus program checks the files on the download site. If you are uncertain, don’t download the file at all or download the file to a floppy(軟盤)and test it with your own anti-virus software.

Update your anti-virus software regularly. Over 500 viruses are discovered each month, so you’ll want to be protected. These updates should be at least the products virus signature files. You may also need to update the product’s scanning engine as well.

   Back up(備份) your files on a regular basis. If a virus destroys your files, at least you can replace them with your backup copy. You should store your backup copy in a separate location from your work files, one that is preferably not on your computer.

The regular use of text messages and e-mails can lower the IQ more than twice as much as smoking marijuana(大麻). That is the claim of psychologists who have found that tapping away on a mobile phone or computer keypad or checking them for electronic messages temporarily knocks up to ten points off the user’s IQ.

This rate of decline in intelligence compares unfavorably with the four-point drop in IQ associated with smoking marijuana, according to British researchers, who have labeled(把……稱為)the fleeting phenomenon of enhanced stupidity as “infomania”.

The noticeable drop in IQ is believed to be the result of the constant distraction of “always on” technology when employees should be concentrating on what they are paid to do. Infomania means that they lose concentration as their minds remain fixed in an almost permanent state of readiness to react to technology instead of focusing on the tasks in hand.

The brain also finds it hard to deal with keeping lots of tasks in motion at once, reducing its overall effectiveness. While modern technology can have huge benefits, excessive(過度的)use can be damaging not only to a person’s mind, but to his or her social life.

Eighty volunteers took part in clinical trials on IQ damage and 1,100 adults were interviewed.

More than six in ten people polled admitted that they were addicted to checking their e-mail and text messages so that they examined work-related ones even when at home or on holiday. Half said that they always responded immediately to an e-mail and one in five would interrupt a meeting to do so.

Furthermore, infomania is having a negative effect on work colleagues, increasing stress and disagreeing feelings. Nine out of ten polled thought that colleagues who answered e-mails or messages during a face-to-face meeting were extremely rude. Yet one in three Britons believed that it was not only acceptable, but actually diligent and efficient to do so.

67. What does the underlined part mean?

A.A person’s IQ drops ten points if he or she always checks electronic messages.

B. The person who has a higher IQ enjoys checking electronic messages.

C. The person who has a lower IQ enjoys checking electronic messages.

D. A person’s IQ is ten points higher if he or she always checks electronic messages.

68. What happens to people with infomania?

A. People with infomania can only concentrate on their tasks in hand.

B. people with infomania are addicted to smoking marijuana.

C. People with infomania can’t respond to technology immediately.

D. People with infomania can’t concentrate on their tasks in hand.

69. From the passage, we can learn that ______.

A. about 550 interviewees responded to an e-mail immediately

B. about 670 interviewees responded to an e-mail immediately

C. about 50 taking part in clinical trials on IQ were addicted to checking e-mails

D. about 16 taking part in clinical trials on IQ refused to answer e-mails immediately

70. What is the main idea of this passage?

A. The regular use of text messages and e-mails can be compared to smoking marijuana.

B. Modern technology can damage a person’s mind.

C. The regular use of text messages and e-mails can harm your IQ.

D. Electronic messages have side effects on the user’s life.
