    Growing up together in Twin Falls, Idaho, Lisa Fry and Paula Turner never doubted their friendship would last forever. But after Fry married, moved to New York City and had a baby, her letters to Turner suddenly went unanswered. "Do you think I've somehow offended her?" Fry asked her husband.
    Turner, meanwhile, had thought she was no longer important to Fry. "She's got a family now," she told herself. "We're just too different to be close like before."
    Finally, Fry picked up the courage to call her old friend. At first, the conversation was awkward, yet soon they both admitted that they missed each other. A month later, they got together, laughing and sharing confidences.
    "Thank goodness I finally took action," Fry says. "We both realized we were as important to each other as ever."
    There are good reasons to value our friendships. Once a public-opinion research firm, Roper Starch Worldwide, asked 2007 people to identify one or two things that said the most about themselves. Friends far outranked（高于）homes, jobs, clothes and cars.
    “A stable friendship carries a long history of experience and interaction and keeps us connected,” says Donald Pannen, executive officer of the Western Psychological Association. "It is what we should protect." However, says Brant R. Burleson, professor of communication at Purdue University, "The better friends you are, the more likely you'll face conflicts." And even the result can be what you don't want--an end to the relationship.
    The good news is that most troubled friendships can be mended. Here's what experts suggest:
    ◆Swallow your pride.
    ◆Apologize when you're wrong--even if you've also been wronged.
    ◆See things from your friend's point of view.
    ◆Accept that friendships change.
    Making friends can sometimes seem easy, says Yager. The hard part is keeping the connections strong and long. Her suggestion: Consider friendship an honor and a gift, and worth the effort to treasure and develop.
    71．The first paragraph is written mainly to_______.
    A．complain something to her husband
    B．show Lisa Fry missed her friend
    C．show family is more important than friendship
    D．introduce the topic to be discussed
    72．The underlined word “awkward” in the third paragraph probably means______.
    A．uncomfortable      B．uninteresting      C．convenient        D．relaxed
    73．Which of the following statements is TRUE according to this passage?
    A．Once friendship is broken, there is no way to be repaired.
    B．People don’t value friendship over other things
    C．The more and better friends we make, the happier we are.
    D．Lisa Fry and Paula Turner were as important to each other as ever.
    74．Experts suggest that_________.
    A．Making friends should be no difficult experience.
    B．We should consider things for our friends first
    C．We should not have to apologize if it is not our fault
    D．Friendship should be one-way process and worth our effort.
    75．Which of the following would be the best title for this passage?
    A．A Broken Friendship       
    B．Opinions on Friendship and Friends
    C．What Is Good Friendship?   
    D．How to Mend a Broken Friendship
    71-76 DADBD
    71 归纳理解题。由下文可知本段是为了引出要讨论的话题。
    72．词义猜测题。下文 “…yet soon they both admitted that they missed each other. A month later, they got together, laughing and sharing confidences.”说“后来她们俩承认她们惦念着对方,一个月后他们聚会,说笑,分享自信”。由此她们起初的谈话很尴尬、不自在。故A项为最佳答案。
    73．正误判断题。由第四段中“We both realized we were as important to each other as ever”可以得出答案为D。A项的表述与“The good news is that most troubled friendships can be mended.” 不符；B项是对第五段最后一句的片面理解, C项文中缺乏明显依据。
    74．细节理解题。由“See things from your friend's point of view.”可知B项正确。A项表述错误，由最后一段中“The hard part is keeping the connections strong and long.”可知；C项表述错误，由“Apologize when you're wrong-even if you've also been wronged.”可知；由“Consider friendship an honor and a gift and worth the effort to treasure and develop.”可知友谊是相互的（two-way），故D项错误。
    75．主旨大意题。文章从Lisa Fry and Paula Turner的友谊谈起，引出友谊需要双方的呵护和弥合,最后专家提出了几点如何改善损坏了的友谊的建议。

    Prisoner Mitchell King had a visitor— his wife. King was serving a six-year prison term in Auckland, New Zealand for armed robbery. But his wife didn’t want to be away from him for that long. So they held hands and they stuck. She’s rubbed her palms with super glue.
    Their new-found closeness was short-lived. And their separation painful. Her technique is not one I'd recommend(introduce) for a closer relationship.
    But if you want more closeness; if you desire relationships that are deeper and broader, more meaningful and longer-lasting, then remember the word "TRAVEL."
    T is for TRUST. Trust is the glue that holds people together (not Super Glue). A relationship will go nowhere without it.
    R is for RESPECT. "Do not save your loving speeches for your friends till they are dead; speak them rather now instead," writes Anna Cummins. It's about respecting others and letting them know that you value them.
    A is for AFFECTION. Sometimes affection means love. Sometimes it means a touch. Always it means kindness.
    V is for VULNERABILITY(harm). Though we may feel afraid to let another too close, no relationship will go anywhere without risking vulnerability. Entrepreneur Jim Rohn says, "The walls we build around us to keep out the sadness also keep out the joy." And the love.
    E is for EMOTIONAL INTIMACY(亲密). Learn to be open. Learn to communicate freely. What kinds of relationships you make are largely determined by how openly you have learned to communicate.
    L is for LAUGHTER. Victor Borge got it right when he said, "Laughter is the shortest distance between two people." It's also the most enjoyable.
    For relationships that can really go somewhere, just remember the word "TRAVEL." Then enjoy the trip!
    6．The author intends to _________ by showing us the example in Paragraph One.
    A. condemn the wife for her silly behavior
    B. introduce new ways for closer relationships
    C. tell us King and his wife would never be separated
    D. encourage us to follow the wife’s technique
    7．The underlined word “it” in Paragraph Four refers to?
    A. Trust.                      B. Glue.                       C. Closeness.                D. TRAVEL
    8．Which of the following agrees with what Jim Rohn says?
    A. Walls should be built to keep out the sadness.
    B. It’s unnecessary to avoid vulnerability for closer relationships.
    C. Love will be kept out if you let another too close.
    D. We shouldn’t let another too close because of vulnerability.
    9．What does Victor Borge really mean by his word in the ninth paragraph?
    A. Laughter will keep the shortest distance.
    B. Laughter will make a closer relationship.
    C. No relationship will go without laughter.
    D. Laughter is necessary to make friends.
    10．What would be the best title for this passage?
    A. Relationships.                                       B. The story of a prisoner.
    C. A technique for good relationships.         D. Tips on closer relationships.

    As any homemaker who has tried to keep order at the dinner table knows, there is far more to a family meal than food. Sociologist Michael Lewis has been studying 50 families to find out just how much more.
    Lewis and his co-workers carried out their study by videotaping (录像) the families while they ate ordinary meals in their own homes. They found that parents with small families talk actively with each other and their children. But as the number of children gets larger, conversation gives way to the parents’ efforts to control the loud noise they make. That can have an important effect on the children. “In general the more question-asking the parents do, the higher the children’s IQ scores,” Lewis says. “And the more children there are, the less question-asking there is.”
    The study also provides an explanation for why middle children often seem to have a harder time in life than their siblings (兄弟姐妹). Lewis found that in families with three or four children, dinner conversation is likely to center on the oldest child, who has the most to talk about, and the youngest, who needs the most attention. “Middle children are invisible,” says Lewis. “When you see someone get up from the table and walk around during dinner, chances are it’s the middle child.” There is, however, one thing that stops all conversation and prevents anyone from having attention: “When the TV is on,” Lewis says, “dinner is a non-event.”
    66．The writer’s purpose in writing the text is to _________.
    A．show the relationship between parents and children
    B．teach parents ways to keep order at the dinner table
    C．report on the findings of a study
    D．give information about family problems
    67．Parents with large families ask fewer questions at dinner because ____________.
    A．they are busy serving food to their children
    B．they are busy keeping order at the dinner table
    C．they have to pay more attention to younger children
    D．they are tired out having prepared food for the whole family
    68．By saying “Middle children are invisible” in Paragraph 3, Lewis means that middle children _________.
    A．have to help their parents to serve dinner
    B．get the least attention from the family
    C．are often kept away from the dinner table
    D．find it hard to keep up with other children
    69．Lewis’ research provides an answer to the question _________.
    A．why TV is important in family life
    B．why parents should keep good order
    C．why children in small families seem to be quieter
    D．why middle children seem to have more difficulties in life
    70．Which of the following statements would the writer agree to?
    A．It is important to have the right food for children.
    B．It is a good idea to have the TV on during dinner.
    C．Parents should talk to each of their children frequently.
    D．Elder children should help the younger ones at dinner

             All of us eat every day, but most of us don’t understand nutrition. We often make mistakes in talking about good diet.
    For example, many people think that foods such as rice, bread and potatoes will make one grow fat. In fact, these foods are very good to one’s health. They are good sources of many vitamins. And in comparison with steak and beef, they contain less amount of calories.
    Some people don’t like canned(罐装的) or frozen vegetables, because they think fresh vegetables cooked at home are always better. This is again wrong. In fact, whether the vegetables are good or not depends more on how they are prepared. Overcooking, for example, destroys good qualities of vegetables. Vegetables cooked in too much water can lose a large amount of vitamins.
    It is widely believed extra vitamins provide more energy. But taking more than the body needs doesn’t make it function better.
    It is also wrong to say that vegetables grown in poor, worn-out soil are lower in vitamins than vegetables grown in rich soil. The vitamins in our foods are in the plants themselves. They don’t come from the soil. However, the minerals(矿物质) in a plant depend on the minerals in the soil.
    In short, there are many false ideas about nutrition. We need to correct them.
    46. This passage is mainly about_______.
    A. nutrition                B. vitamins                C. vegetables            D. health
    47. Rice, bread and potatoes do good to people’s health mainly because_______.
    A. they make people fat                              B. there are lot of vitamins in them
    C. they contain less amount of calories compared with steak and beef.
    D. both B and C.
    48. Why don’t some people like canned or frozen vegetables? Because______.
    A. they think fresh vegetables contain less vitamins
    B. they think fresh vegetables contain more vitamins than the canned or frozen ones
    C. they don’t think the canned or frozen vegetables are fresh
    D. they don’t think the canned or frozen vegetables taste as good as the fresh ones
    49. Which of the following is true according to the passage?
    A. Many people know almost everything about nutrition.
    B. Food such as rice, bread and potatoes make people fat.
    C. vegetables grown in poor worn-out soil may have the same amount of vitamins as vegetables grown in rich soil.
    D. extra vitamins provide less energy.
    50. The point of the passage is that______.
    A. the minerals in a plant depend on the minerals in the soil
    B. people make mistakes when talking about good diet
    C. taking more vitamins than the body needs doesn’t make it function better
    D. vegetables cooked in too much water can lose a large amount of vitamins
