Task 1 (每题 2 分，共 10 分)

Too many people want others to be their friends, but they don't give friendship back.That is why some friendships don't last long. To have a friend, you must learn to be one. 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; be understanding.

Honesty is where a good friendship starts. Friends must be able to trust one another. If you do not 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 rely on one another to speak and act honestly. Generosity means sharing and sharing makes a friendship grow. You do not have to you're your lunch money or your clothes.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 better.

Sooner or later everyone needs understanding and help with each other. 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 that you can understand the problem better. No two friendships are exactly alike.

Task 2 (每题 2 分，共 10 分)

There are cockroaches (蟑螂)everywhere on Earth except the places that are covered with ice. Scientists have discovered about 3,500 different species of cockroach. There is just one human species!Cockroaches can be anything in size from about five mm to nine cm. Although five mm is very small, nine cm is as long as a large rat.

It is very difficult to catch most cockroaches. They “see” with the hairs on their bodies. These hairs can feel the smallest movement in the air, so the cockroaches know immediately something moves, and run to safety.

Of all the species of cockroach, fortunately only three live among humans and are a serious problem. They are the German, the Oriental, and the American. One egg case of the German cockroach can produce as many as seven million cockroaches in 12 months!

Our main problem with cockroaches is that not only do they look ugly to us, but they also carry diseases. They are particularly dangerous in hospitals as they eat all kinds of hospital waste or get it on their bodies. They can then carry this waste, which may contain dangerous bacteria, on to food which is then eaten by people in the hospital.

Most of the bacteria that cause food poisoning have been found in the stomachs of cockroaches, so it is important that cockroaches should be kept out of restaurants and other places where food is prepared.

Many people work and try to destroy cockroaches, but as soon as they find one way of doing it, the cockroaches “learn” how to deal with it. Electricity does not always kill them and they can avoid most poisons or “learn” how to deal with others. At one time, scientists thought that radiation would kill them, but they have been on Earth for about 300 million years, and it does not harm them as much as it does us.

It seems probable that when there are no longer human beings living on the Earth, cockroaches will still be here.

46. Cockroaches do not live_________.

A. in homes

B. in hospitals

C. in the coldest part of the world

D. with humans

47. Cockroaches can sense someone is near_______.

A. by touching them with their hairs

B. by hearing them

C. by running away

D. by feeling their movement

48. Cockroaches can hurt humans with________.

A. their claws

B. Their teeth

C. the bacteria they carry

D. the radiation they give off

49. Paragraph 6 says that________.

A. cockroaches do not die

B. cockroaches can not be killed

C. radiation kills cockroaches

D. it is difficult to kill cockroaches

50. The passage is mainly about______.

A. how and where cockroaches live

B. how to get rid of cockroaches

C. how important cockroaches are to us

D. when cockroaches were first discovered

Task 3 (每题 2 分，共 10 分)

City traffic jam-one of the least wanted effects of the motor vehicle-is something with which we're all familiar and for which most of us have an answer. But which solution is best?

Yet some force causes offices and service industries related to them to gather in London or New York or Tokyo.

Task 4 (每题 2 分，共 10 分)

Direction: Read the following passage, and then decide whether the statements (No. 56 to No. 60) are true (T) or false (F)

Once every ten years, the consumer electronics industry — the industry which gives people the means to enjoy live and recorded entertainment in their homes has come up with a major new product. First, there was color TV in the 1960s. Next came hi-fi(1970s) and more recently, in the 1980s, the video cassette recorder(VCR).

When the industry introduced color TV in the 1960s, it did so just in time. In most big markets, sales of black and write TV had been in decline for several years. Color TV soon became popular and in the next five years its market share rose from 10% to just over 40%. In the 1970s its share of the market fell dramatically and by the mid-1980s, color TV accounted for less than 20% of the industry's total sales.

Hi-fi came on the market around the same time as color television,but its initial share of the market was larger. In 1965 it was already 30% and ten years later it was over 50%. Sales then fell steadily until the mid-1980s and the introduction of the compact disc. Although they were twice as expensive as records, they soon caught on and as a result, hi-fi’s market share rose again.

The VCR was the success story of the 1980s. Like television, it was neither a replacement nor an improvement, but a brand-new idea. And it created a new demand among consumers. In 1975, the VCR's share of the market was just 5%. Ten years later it was over40%. Since then, it has declined steadily and is unlikely to rise again.

So the question is what next? What will be the VCR of the next decade?

( ) 56. Once every ten years the electronics industry comes up with a major new product.

( ) 57. The share of color TV rises steadily up to now.

( ) 58. The VCR was a replacement of hi-fi.

( ) 59. The VCR’s share of the market has declined steadily since 1985.

( ) 60. It can be inferred that a new product will be introduced into the market over the next ten years.

Part III Cloze (15 points)

Direction: In this section, there are 10 blanks in the following. For each bland there are two choices marked A and B. You should choose the right answer that best fits into the passage.

You've probably had the experience of having someone fall in love with you when you didn’t return the feeling. In such a 61 it's hard to know what to do.

You want to 62 your admirer.Yet you don’t want to be so obvious in your efforts that you make an enemy of him or her.

A friend of mine had this problem and 63 it in the most tactful way I've 64 seen. In stead of telling the young man that she found it tiresome to have him around so much, she 65 herself to introducing him to every girl she knew 66 she had a 67 with him, she arranged for them to drop in at the home of one of her girlfriends. A few weeks was all it 68 for him to click (一见如故)with one of these girls, and then everyone was happy.

The new girl and the young man got along just fine and both of them were grateful to my friend for having brought them together. My friend was rid of a problem and she till had the young man as a friend, which was just what she wanted him to be.

Of course this solution may not work for you. You may have your own ways of dealing with the problem. But whatever you decide to do,keep one thing 69 mind---the boy in question has feeling every bit as sensitive as your own. So try to find a way of discouraging him without 70 him.
