I hate that rubbish. They play on the radio. They can’t even understand a bit of music.”‎ ‎ “I’m never playing in that club again. Too many drunks and nobody listens to us.”But, one younger musician said, “There are a few clubs that book my band a few nights a month, and I’m trying to find other places to play. I’m also looking to book a few summer festivals this year.”‎ I’ve heard that you are the average of the five people whom you spend the most time with, or to put it another way, you are who your friends are. Attitudes are important. Whether they’re positive or negative, they’re rubbing off on you. If you’re around people who complain about lack of work and about other musicians, or blame (责怪) others, and you play the role of victim (受害者), chances are you will start to as well. So it’s time to take a look at the people you call “friends”.‎ ‎ This is an easy exercise: make a list of the people who you hang out with, and simply stop spending time with the negative people on your list. set a new standard (标准) for yourself and don’t become friends with people who fall below that standard.‎ Keep successful people around you and your own chances for success will be much better. Ask them how they do it. Ask if they will help you get the work you’re looking for, or maybe give you some advice to help you on your career path.‎ ‎41. Which of the following would be the best title for this passage?‎ A. a friend in need is a friend indeed B. how to make friendship last for ever C. you are who your friends are D. friends are the most important in one’s success ‎42. The underlined sentence “they’re rubbing off on you” in paragraph 6 means ______.‎ A. they’ll push you ahead B. they’ll influence you ‎ C. they’ll cover your shortcomings D. they’ll help you achieve your goal ‎43. The musicians’ words at the beginning are written mainly to show ______.‎ A. the musicians’ living conditions are quite poor B. people have poor taste in music C. people have different attitudes towards the same thing D. young people have greater chances of succeeding ‎ B To master a language one must be able to speak it, understand it when it is spoken, as well as to read and write it. These days more and more foreigners are coming to China and more and more Chinese are going abroad to work or study, so that the spoken language is becoming more and more important.‎ Speaking, of course, can’t go without listening. If you want to pronounce a word ‎ correctly, you must be able to hear correctly. The sounds of the Chinese and English languages are not exactly the same. If you don't listen carefully, you will find it difficult or even impossible to understand the native speakers.‎ Well, what about writing? Like speaking, it's used to exchange ideas. People generally use longer sentences in their writing. The important thing is to make your ideas clear in your head and write them down in clear language.‎ Chinese students read far too slowly. If you read faster, you understand better. If you read slowly, by the time you have reached the end of a page you have forgotten what the beginning is about. When you meet with new words, don’t look them up in the dictionary at once. Guess the meaning from the context. You may not guess quite correctly the first time, but as the new words come up again and again in different contexts, their meanings will become clearer and clearer. If you try to look up every word, you’ll never finish a book.‎ Students of a foreign language need a particular knowledge, the knowledge of the life history and geography of the people whose language they’re studying. They should study these subjects in the foreign language, not only in translation. In this way one can kill two birds with one stone: he can learn the language and some knowledge of the foreign country at the same time.‎ ‎44. In his first point the writer told us___.‎ A. why spoken English is important B. how to read and write ‎ C. how to speak English D. why English people couldn't understand Lenin ‎45.In his last point the writer advised us ___.‎ A. to kill two birds with one stone ‎ B. to get some knowledge of the foreign country whose language you are studying C. to study all the subjects in a foreign language ‎ D. to learn two languages at a time ‎46.In the fourth paragraph the writer gave advice on ___.‎ A. how to grasp the general meaning of a passage B. how to guess the meaning from the context C. how to look up new words in the dictionary D. how to read faster ‎47."to kill two birds with on stone "means__.‎ A. to get some particular knowledge B. to get more than what one pays C. the stone is too big D. the birds are blind enough C ‎ Backpacks are convenient. They can hold your books, your lunch, and a change of clothes, leaving your hands free to do other things. Someday, if you don't mind carrying a heavy load, your backpacks might also power your MP3 player, keep your ‎ cell phone running, and maybe even light your way home.       Lawrence C. Rome and his colleagues from the University‎ of ‎Pennsylvania in Philadelphia2 and the Marine Biological Laboratory in Woods Hole3,  Mass. 4,  have invented a backpack that makes electricity from energy produced while its wearer walks. In military actions, search-and- rescue operations, and scientific field studies, people rely increasingly on cell phones, global positioning system (GPS)5 receivers, night-vision goggles, and other battery-powered devices to get around and do their work. The backpack's electricity-generating feature could dramatically reduce the amount of a wearer's load now devoted to spare batteries, report Rome and his colleagues in the Sept. 9 Science6.       The backpack's electricity-creating powers depend on springs used to hang a cloth pack from its metal frame. The frame sits against the wearer's back, and the whole pack moves up and down as the person walks. A gear mechanism converts vertical movements of the pack to rotary motions of an electrical generator, producing up to 7.4 watts.       Unexpectedly, tests showed that wearers of the new backpack alter their gaits in response to the pack's oscillations, so that they carry loads more comfortably and with less effort than they do ordinary backpacks. Because of that surprising advantage, Rome plans to commercialize both electric and non-electric versions of the backpack.       The backpack could be especially useful for soldiers, scientists, mountaineers, and emergency workers who typically carry heavy backpacks. For the rest of us, power-‎ generating backpacks could make it possible to walk, play video games, watch TV,and listen to music, all at the same time. Electricity-generating packs aren't on the market yet, but if you do get one eventually, just make sure to look both ways before crossing the street!‎ ‎48. Backpacks are convenient because   A. your hands are freed to do other things. ‎ ‎ B. they can hold as many things as you want to carry.   C. they can be very large. ‎ ‎ D. you do not have to carry things with you. 49. What is the most important feature of the backpack invented by Lawrence C. Rome and his colleagues? A It is small and convenient.    B It can be used as cell phones, GPS in the military actions or field studies.（现场研究）    C  It produces electricity for electronic devices while the wearer walks.    D  It is light and easy to carry.‎ ‎50. The word "springs" in Paragraph 3‎ ‎ means     A  a small stream of water flowing naturally from the earth.     B  the season of the year, occurring between winter and summer.     C  the act or an instance of jumping or leaping.     D  a length of metal wound around, which returns to its original shape after being pushed. 51. According to Paragraph 4, what does Rome plan to do?     A  To make the backpack more comfortable for the wearer.     B . To test the advantage of the backpack     C  To put the backpack on the market.     D  To promote the backpack in a newspaper or on television. D ‎ Though joke-lovers in many countries joyfully fool friends on April Fool’s Day, no one knows exactly when or why, or even where, this tradition began.‎ ‎ Practical joking seems to have coincided with the coming of Spring since the time of Ancient Romans and Celts, Some trace （追溯）April Fool’s Day back to Roman mythology（神话）, particularly the story of Ceres ,Goddess of the harvest, and her daughter, Proserpina. Pluto, God of the Dead, cheated Proserpina and took her to live with him in the underworld, The girl called out to her mother, but Ceres could only hear the echo（回音） of her daughter’s voice. Such ‘fool’s errands（差事）’ became a popular practical joke in Europe in later centuries.‎ ‎ The most widespread theory of the origin of April Fool’s day the switch from the old Julian to the Gregorian calendar in the late 16th century. Under the Julian calendar, it was celebrated during the week between March 25 and April 1, but under the Gregorian calendar, it was moved to January1. Those who weren’t informed of the change, or stubbornly kept to the old tradition, were often laughed at and had jokes played on them or around the old New Year.‎ ‎ In France, this took the form of practical joker sticking fish on the backs of those who celebrated the old custom, earning the victims of the joke the name Poisson d’ April, or April Fish. In Scotland, the butts(笑柄) of April Fool’s jokes were known as April “Gowks”, another name for a cuckoo bird.‎ ‎ In more recent times, radio stations, TV programs and Web sites have set up gullible readers and listeners. One of the most famous jokes was a 1957 BBC program of the annual spaghetti harvest in Switzerland. Were so fooled they wanted to find out how to get a spaghetti bush of their own. Many listeners So while you’re surfing the web or watching TV today, be aware of what you see and read, or you should end up an April Fool !‎ ‎52. Which of the following is TRUE of Proserpina?‎ ‎ A. She loved Pluto very much B. she was an April Fool ‎ C. She was Ceres’ s daughter D. are easy to be tricked ‎53.

The text is mainly to _________.‎ ‎ A. explore the origin of April Fool’ Day.‎ ‎ B. warn readers against being cheated ‎ C. show versions of the origins of April Fool’ Day.‎ ‎ D. introduce the real tradition of April Fool’s Day ‎ ‎55. Which of the following has nothing to do with April Fool’s Day?‎ ‎ A. April “Gowks” B. The origin of spaghetti ‎ C. Poisson d’ April D. The story of Ceres ‎ E America‎ is a mobile society. friendships between Americans can be close and real, yet disappear soon if situations change. neither side feels hurt by this. both may exchange Christmas greetings for a year or two, perhaps a few letters for a while — then no more. If the same two people meet again by chance, even years later, they pick up the friendship. this can be quite difficult for us Chinese to understand, because friendships between us flower more slowly but then may become lifelong feelings, extending (延伸) sometimes deeply into both families.‎ ‎ Americans are ready to receive us foreigners at their homes, share their holidays, and their home life. they will enjoy welcoming us and be pleased if we accept their hospitality (好客) easily.‎ ‎ Another difficult point for us Chinese to understand Americans is that although they include us warmly in their personal everyday lives, they don’t show their politeness to us if it requires a great deal of time. This is usually the opposite of the practice in our country where we may be generous with our time. Sometimes, we, as hosts, will appear at airports even in the middle of the night to meet a friend. We may take days off to act as guides to our foreign friends. The Americans, however, express their welcome usually at homes, but truly can not manage the time to do a great deal with a visitor outside their daily routine. they will probably expect us to get ourselves from the airport to our own hotel by bus. And they expect that we will phone them from there. Once we arrive at their homes, the welcome will be full, warm and real. We will find ourselves treated hospitably.‎ For the Americans, it is often considered more friendly to invite a friend to their homes than to go to restaurants, except for purely business matters. So accept their hospitality at home!‎ ‎56. the writer of this passage must be ______.‎ A. an American      B. a professor  C.  a Chinese    D. a student ‎57. which of the following statements is true according to the passage?‎ A. friendships between Americans usually extend deeply into their families.‎ B. Americans will continue their friendships again even after a long break.‎ C. Americans always show their warmth even if they are very busy.‎ D. friendships between Americans usually last for all their lives.‎ ‎58. from the last two paragraphs we can learn that when we arrive in America to visit an American friend, we will probably be ______.‎ A.   treated hospitably at his home      ‎ B. offered a ride to his home C.  warmly welcomed at the airport   ‎ D. treated to dinner in a restaurant ‎59. the underlined words  “generous with our time” in paragraph 3 probably mean ____. ‎ A. strict with time     B. willing to spend time C. careful with time   D. serious with time ‎60. a suitable title for this passage would probably be “______”. ‎ A. friendships between Chinese    ‎ B. Americans ’and Chinese’s views of friendships C.
