26、In choosing a friend, one should be very careful. A good friend can help you study. You can have fun together and make each other happy. Sometimes you will meet fair-weather friends. They will be with you as long as you have money or luck, but when you are down, they will run away. How do I know when I have found a good friend? I look for certain qualities of character, especially understanding, honesty and reliability (可靠).

Above all else, I look for understanding in a friend. A good friend tries to understand how another person is feeling. He is not quick to judge. Instead, he tries to learn from others. He puts himself in the other person's place, and he tries to think of ways to be helpful. He is also a good listener.

At the same time, however, a good friend is honest. He does not look for faults in others. He notices their good points. In short, a friend will try to understand me and accept me.

Another quality of a friend is reliability. I can always depend on a good friend. If he tells me he will meet me somewhere at a certain time, I can be sure that he will be there. If I need a favor, he will do his best to help me. If I am in trouble, he will not run away from me.

There is a fourth quality that makes a friend special. A special friend is someone with whom we can have fun. We should enjoy our lives, and we would enjoy our friendship. That is why I especially like friends who are fun to be with. A good friend likes the same things I like. We share experience and learn from each other. A good friend has a good sense of humor too. He likes to laugh with me. That is how we share in the joy of being friends. And I know that he is looking for the same quality in me.

When I meet someone who is reliable, honest, and understanding, I know I've found a friend!

【1】Which of the following qualities the writer thinks is the most important in choosing a friend?

A．Understanding.

B．Honesty.

C．Reliability.

D．A sense of humor.

【2】If you have fair-weather friends, ________.

A．they will give you all that they have when you need help

B．you will be refused when you get into trouble

C．you can be sure that you get real friends

D．you will become rich and lucky

【3】This passage mainly discusses ________.

A．the qualities of a friend

B．where to choose friends

C．how to get along with friends

D．the importance of having a friend

27、   Welcome to the Universities Summer School. Since 1982, Eton College has run a residential summer school for students with ambitions to apply to the best universities around the world. The summer school is not about improving A-Level grades but is designed to provide a lively and challenging ten days of study. You choose a subject with which you would like to engage further. We provide dynamic(有活力的) teaching and, more importantly, the company of like-minded students from all over the country with whom you can work and socialize.

Number: 130 boys and girls

Accommodation: Individual rooms in Eton boarding houses

Teaching: By Eton staff and university lecturers

Fee: The College subsidizes(给予补贴) the cost of the course. The inclusive fee is £ 450. The fee may be remitted(免除) partially or wholly in case of need. Application for remission of the fee should be made by letter at the time of application.

Timetable:

A typical day at the Summer School starts with breakfast at 8:30 a.m.

Lessons begin at 9:30 a.m. with two one-and-a-half-hour sessions running until lunch at 1 p.m.

In the afternoon, there is a further hour of teaching that begins at 2 p.m. It is followed by a programme of sports and activities ranging from swimming and dance to football and Eton Fives (our own game).

Each student meets their tutor in the late afternoon before the Summer School gathers in one of our lecture theatres for an evening talk.

Supper is at 7 p.m. Then students go back to their study bedrooms for personal study. The house staff and undergraduate assistants are on hand to support and advise at that time.

Please note that our courses are not designed for students wishing only to improve their A-Level grades. Our aim is to give students the enthusiasm and the knowledge to make a really persuasive application to the universities of their choice.

If you are a bright and ambitious student, please download an application form and send your application in to us by Mar. 1 of the year you would like to join the course. We look forward to hearing from you!

29、Dear Daddy,

You’ve been gone for six years and I’ve had time to think. Now I’m ready to write this letter to you.

For a long time after Mom died, I thought I liked her more because I didn’t like your attitude and I thought that her softer side was more desirable. In my 15-year-old’s mind, I thought you could have stopped my mother from drinking herself to death. Instead, you were off playing tennis and working. Later, I realized that no one could make someone stop drinking. Support is important, but at the end of the day, it is a choice. You were just doing your best.

What I have learned is that I am much like you. You taught me self-confidence. I know if I am prepared to work hard enough for something, I will be successful. This is no small thing. What I’ve realized since you died is that you were always there for me. You fought to ensure that I got my place on the Quebec badminton team that I had earned. When I got divorced (离婚), you came up to see if I had what I needed to take care of the boys and you paid off my car.

You taught me not to spend money I don’t have. I’ve always kept to that rule. It has served me well. We always had a good home to live in, nice vacations, and everything we needed and most of what we wanted.

You were not a perfect parent and neither am I. My children are much more thankful than I ever was. I am thankful that I had you as my dad. I am still Daddy’s girl and I am proud of it.

【3】Which of the following things did the writer’s father teach her?

a. self-confidence                                      b. to love doing sports

c. not to hate anybody                                d. to spend money properly

A．abc

B．bd

C．cd

D．ad

【4】What can we infer from the letter?

32、阅读下面短文，根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。

Pets are popular. They’re good listeners, they encourage us to exercise, and they’re always on our side when we argue with others. They can bring people comfort and pleasure.

But it is important to keep in mind that pets can carry diseases that can make you sick. Washing your hands often — especially after you touch, feed, or clean up a pet — is the best way to keep yourself healthy and prevent the spread of disease. Be sure to clean your fingernails（指甲）carefully every time you wash.

You also can protect your health by wearing gloves while cleaning animal cages or cat litter boxes. Avoid washing your pet in the bathtub (浴缸), but if you do, always disinfect (消毒) the tub immediately afterward.

Be sure to bring your pet to the hospital for examinations every two weeks or month and whenever your pet is sick or injured.

You can do a few other things to keep yourself and your pet healthy. Only give your pet food that has been planned ahead for them. It’s not a good idea to share your food with your pet. Human food (like chocolate) can make animals sick. Never feed your pet raw meat because it can carry germs (细菌) that cause serious illness.

And funny as it can be to see your dog or cat drinking from the toilet, don’t let pets do this. It’s bad for your pet’s health! Give them clean, fresh water to drink at all times.

Never give milk to cats. The only milk an animal should drink is from its mother. Cow’s milk is not for pets, especially for cats, as it makes them sick.

Finally, some animals aren’t pets. Don’t take in a wild or abandoned (被抛弃的) animal as a pet because it may have diseases that could make you or your family sick. Instead, turn to an animal rescue group that is trained in helping sick or abandoned animals.
