5．It never occurred to anybody，not even the creators that the world would care about the complex lives，loves and sufferings of a group of attractive and witty New Yorkers．But there's no doubt that Friends（老友记）has become more than just a successful situation comedy-it has established itself as one of the last great television phenomena of the last century．Along the way，it has made its half-dozen leading actors famous．
Looking back on the strong friendship between the group of three men and three women who frequently gather at each other's apartments and at Greenwich Village's Central Perk coffee house，Friends was created by television producers，David Crane and Marta Kauffman．In 1993，the pair met producer Kevin S．Bright．Then the three became partners and got a deal to produce a new comedy for Warner Brothers．What they came up with was based on Crane and Kauffman's after-college years，when they hung out at the local coffee house and involved themselves in every aspect of each other's lives．
It didn't take long for viewers to make friends with Friends．The situation comedy quickly became a top ten hit．Critics loved it as well．Entertainment Weekly said the show operated like a Broadway show，with twisty plots and unique jokes．The television theme song has also been a success with the public．The song's success helped save the television theme song．An ABC（美国广播公司）executive was ready to order very short music intros（前奏） on his network's shows，thinking that viewers would hit the remote control as soon as the opening started．But the success of the Friends theme song led the ABC executive to change his mind--remote controls or not，the TV theme song would stay．
Years have gone by，but Friends remains and will remain an example of a modern US situation comedy that is both hugely entertaining television and nothing short of a genuine latter-day social phenomenon．
28．What is stressed in the second paragraph？A
A．The origin of Friends
B．The role models of Friends
C．The popularity of Friends
D．The brilliance of Friends．
29．Which of the following is TRUE about Friends？D
A．It has a simple but entertaining plot．
B．It is about friendship between college students．
C．It was criticized by Entertainment Weekly．
D．It first came into being in the 1990s．
30．What can we learn from the passage？C
A．Producer，Kevin S．Bright，graduated from the same college as David Crane．
B．ABC once replaced the theme song of its TV show with a short music intro．
C．The ABC executive thought highly of the theme song of Friends．
D．Marta Kauffman expected Friends to achieve great success．
31．What might the author think of Friends？D
A．Its merits outweigh its shortcomings．
B．Its success lies in the lack of good situation comedies．
C．He/she has a reserved attitude towards its success．
D．He/she shows great affection towards it．

分析本文介绍了美国著名的情景喜剧《老友记》以及这部喜剧的创作过程以及人们对它的评价．

解答 28． A 主旨大意根据本段后两句Friends was created by television producers，David Crane and Marta Kauffman．In 1993，the pair met producer Kevin S．Bright…when they hung out at the local coffee house and involved themselves in every aspect of each other's lives．可知第二段主要讲述的是《老友记》这部情景喜剧是怎么创作出来的，是由David Crane、Marta Kauffman制片人Kevin S．Bright一起创作出来的．故A项正确．
29．D 细节理解根据第二段第二句In 1993，the pair met producer Kevin S．Bright．Then the three became partners and got a deal to produce a new comedy for Warner Brothers．和第三段第一句It didn't take long for viewers to make friends with Friends．在1993年David Crane、Marta Kauffman遇见了制片人Kevin S．Bright，他们一起创作了《老友记》，不久以后这部影片电视剧就与观众见面了．说明这部情景喜剧最可能是在90年代面世．故D正确．
30．C 推理判断根据第三段最后两句可知美国广播公司的总经理原以为观众这首主题曲不会受到太多的关注，但是后来它很受欢迎．总经理对之评价也很高．故C项正确．
31． D 通读全文可知．作者在文章中多处出现了对《老友记》的正面评价，尤其是最后一段Years have gone by，but Friends remains and will remain an example of a modern US situation comedy that is both hugely entertaining television and nothing short of a genuine latter-day social phenomenon．认为这部情景喜剧有着巨大的影响．说明作者非常喜欢这部喜剧．故D项正确

15．In summer，some people avoid outdoor activities because they don't want to get hot and sticky or sun burnt．Luckily，there are some outdoor activities which don't involve breaking sweat．
River rafting
Hot summer weather and cool water-what a perfect match!River rafting can be both scenic and exciting．When the raft follows a gentle stream，the views of the countryside or valley is like a traditional Chinese painting．And when you enter white water where the riverbed creates a natural roller coaster，you feel a rush of adrenaline （肾上腺素）．Paddle your raft to the riverbank to have a picnic or barbecue which will taste best when you are starving．
Where to find：River rafting trips are usually on offer in mountainous or valley regions such as the Three Gorges．
Tips：Wear a helmet and life jacket at all times； bring enough sunscreen； and bring lots of water．
Caving
People say that the only naturally air-conditioned place in summer is a big cave．It is true．Cave tours featuring light shows are old hat．Now it's time to wear a lamp on your helmet like a mineworker to explore caves in darkness．Exploring unknown caverns and navigating underground rivers is what makes caving so thrilling．Plus，caving can be a very healthy sport，for the oxygen level is usually higher so basically you are having an oxygen spa as the bonus．
Where to find：caving can be very risky，so consult local travel agents and go in groups with professional cavers．
Tips：Follow your guides； drink enough water to avoid dehydration（脱水）； and wear strong and not easily damaged hiking boots．
Coastal walking/cycling and beach activities
For those who live far away from mountains，coastal regions and beaches are good places to spend time in the summer．With sea breezes in your hair，it is nice to take a hike or cycle ride while enjoying the coastline．If you want to be sportier，try beach games，such as soccer and volleyball．It's a totally different experience from playing on hard courts or grass．
Where to find：Just go to the beach or find an urban artificial beach such as the one in Chatoyant Park in Beijing or the man-made lake beach in Wuhan．
Tips：Loads of sunscreen needed； water and snacks are necessary； be aware of jellyfish and garbage floating in the water．
5．What does the underlined words"old hat"in paragraph 5mean？A
A．Out of fashion．
B．Out of the way．
C．A particular fashion．
D．A unique style．

13．The 115-year-old prestigious Oxford Dictionary will now include popular new Chinese terms like"shanzhai""youtiao"and"fangnu"，as part of the modern Chinese language．
As China plays a more and more important role in the world economy，the Chinese language is forever evolving，attracting more attention from people who want to understand this ancient yet vibrant （充满生气的） language．
For instance，the word"shanzhai"is used to describe the countless knockoffs （名牌仿制品） of iPhones or designer bags imprinted with Louis Vuitton logos．
Another new term in the new edition is the word"fangnu"，or a"mortgage （按揭） slave"-a term used to describe the phenomenon in large cities whereby well-educated youth complain of a miserable existence due to the heavy burden of a home mortgage．
All these new or often fashionable terms can be found in the new Oxford English-Chinese，
Chinese-English dictionary that was unveiled in the recently concluded Beijing International Book Fair last week．
The dictionary now is available for retail sales since the beginning of this month．This dictionary is the largest single volume English-Chinese，Chinese-English dictionary and contains 670，000words and phrases after five years of preparation．Sixty editors from the Oxford University Press and its partner in China-the Foreign Language Teaching and Research Press-worked together on the project．According to Julie Kleeman，the dictionary's chief editor，most of the firm's editors were Chinese，while about one fourth were native-English speakers．
"We don't want to make it florid （过分花哨的），we want it to be modern and conversational…many of the words in the present dictionary are no longer in use，"said Kleeman．"The need for studying Chinese by foreigners today is totally different from decades ago…Precise，native and practical-that is our core advantage．"
Kleeman said newer publications updates will be available only for the online version as language often changes too quickly for book versions to keep pace．The online version will also offer a Chinese phonetic pronunciation guide．The online version，allowing access via different platforms from the PC to the iPad，will be ready"as soon as possible"，Kleeman said．
28．According to Kleeman，one of the features that distinguish Oxford English from other dictionaries is thatC．
A．it has a long history
B．it includes vibrant language
C．it offers native，precise and practical language
D．it is the largest English dictionary
29．According to the above passage，we learn thatA．
A．well-educated youth in China's big cities have difficulty buying houses
B．the Oxford University Press made the dictionary without outside aid
C．most Chinese editors are also native speakers of English
D．knockoffs can be found in China but not very often
30．The possible reason why newer publications updates are not available for book versions is thatC．
A．the computer network is available everywhere
B．book versions can't offer a phonetic pronunciation guide
C．book versions can't keep up with the changes of language
D．the online version is florid
31．What is the main idea of the text？A

B．New Chinese-English Oxford Dictionary．

17．It's time to do something for your father-the man who for many people has been an encouragement and support since birth．
The third Sunday of June is Father's Day．The holiday honors not only fathers，but also all men who act as father figures，such as stepfathers，uncles and grandfathers．
The idea of Father's Day came from the love and appreciation of American lady called Sonore Smart Dodd in 1909．
Dodd wanted a special day to honor her father，William Smart．He raised six children by himself on a countryside farm in Washington State after his wife died during the birth of their sixth child．
When Dodd became an adult，she realized the selflessness her father has shown in raising his children as a single parent．
It was her father who did all for his children．In the eyes of his daughter，William Smart was a courageous，selfless and loving man．

14．A group of people from Denmark have formed the B-Society．According to them，human beings are divided into types：A-People，and B-People．A-People have no problem getting up in the morning，and operate much better earlier in the day．However，B-people are better later in the day．"I'm useless early in the morning，"says one of the members of the B-Society．"All I can do is drink coffee，and stare into space．People used to get up early because they had to feed the animals．But I haven't got any cows or chickens，so I can sleep late，"She adds．Since the society was set up，the B-Society has welcomed several thousand members．
Right now，the B-Society is fighting hard for businesses to join its B-certification （证明） list．Companies that are"B-certified"basically give their employees the opportunity to come in when they want．In some companies，employees arrive at any time up to 3：30pm---each to their own rhythm （节奏）．
And it is not just businesses that are benefiting from this．Teenagers who can't get out of bed in the morning，and parents who never quite get the kids to school on time，can now benefit from B-classes．From next year，a school in Copenhagen will offer classes which start later in the day （at 10instead of eight）．And even the government seems to like the idea．
The B-Society was founded by Camilla Kring，a professor from the University of Copenhagen．On her website，she says，"When B-people's work rhythms are considered at the work place，their productivity （生产力） and quality of life is increased，which can increase productivity for the entire organization．"
She adds that，"B-Society will create a new daily rhythm in schools and other institutions （机构） as an alternative to the current rhythm of‘early at work and early at home'．We are working for the establishment of kindergartens，primary and secondary schools as well as universities that open between 10am and 8pm．"
