He relied on me in just the same way without doubt.
I believe that is the way the world _7 . At some level, we all depend upon one another. Sometimes that dependence requires us simply not to cross over the double yellow line. Sometimes it requires us to 8 cooperatively, with friends or even 9 .

第二节:阅读理解:(共20小题;每小题2分,满分40分)
A
Lots of kids hate school, a new study found. Usually this kind of feeling doesn't last long. But what happens if you feel this way too much? School is a fact of life and getting a good education can help you build the kind of future life you want. So let's talk about school and what to do when you don't like it.
If you don't like school, the first step is to find out why. You might not like school because you don't have enough friends, or maybe you don't get along with your teacher. Sometimes it's a big problem with your classes and school-work. You may be getting farther and farther behind, and it may seem like you'll never catch up. Ks5u
When you know why you don't like school, you can start taking steps to make things better. It's a good idea to talk to someone about your problems with school. Your mum, dad, teacher or school counselor(顾问) will be able to help you. Another good idea is to write down your feelings about school in a notebook. It's a great way to let out emotions. Remember, you don't have to share what you've written with others.
16. Lots of kids , according to the writer.
A. like school very much B. are good at reading and writing
C. don't like doing homework D. have the thought of hating school
17. What does the underlined word “it” refer to in the first paragraph?

20. When you start taking steps to make things better, one of the good ideas is to .

B
I began working in journalism when I was eight. It was my mother’s idea. She wanted me to “make something” of myself, and decided I had better start young if I was to have any chance of keeping up with the competition.
With my load of magazines I headed toward Belleville Avenue. The crowds were there. There were two gas stations on the corner of Belleville and Union. For several hours I made myself highly visible, making sure everyone could see me and the heavy black letters on the bag that said THE SATURDAY EVENING POST. When it was supper time, I walked back home.
“ How many did you sell, my boy?” my mother asked.
“ None.”
“ Where did you go?”
“ The corner of Belleville and Union Avenues.”
“ What did you do?”
“ Stood on the corner waiting for somebody to buy a Saturday Evening Post.”
“ You just stood there?”
“ Didn’t sell a single one.”
“ My God, Russell!”
Uncle Allen put in, “ Well, I’ve decided to take the Post.” I handed him a copy and he paid me a nickel(五分镍币). It was the first nickel I earned.
Afterwards my mother taught me how to be a salesman. I would have to ring doorbells, address adults with self-confidence, and persuade them by saying that no one, no matter how poor, could afford to be without the Saturday Evening Post in the home.
One day, I told my mother I’d changed my mind. I didn’t want to make a success in the magazine business. Ks5u
“If you think you can change your mind like this,” she replied, “ you’ll become a good-for-nothing.” She insisted that. As soon as school was over, I should start ringing doorbells, selling magazines. Whenever I said no, she would scold me.
My mother and I had fought this battle almost as long as I could remember. My mother, dissatisfied with my father’s plain workman’s life, determined that I would not grow up like him and his people. But never did she expect that, forty years later, such a successful journalist as me would go back to her husband’s people for true life and love.
21. Why did the boy start his job young?
A. He wanted to be famous in the future. B. The job was quite easy for him.
C. His mother had high hopes for him. D. The competition for the job was fierce.
22. From the dialogue between the boy and his mother, we learn that the mother was _______.
A. excited B. interested C. ashamed D. disappointed
23.What did the mother do when the boy wanted to give up?
A. She forced him to continue. B. She punished him.
C. She gave him some money. D. She changed her plan.
24. What does the underlined phrase “this battle”in the last paragraph refer to?
A. The war between the boy’s parents. B. The arguing between the boy and his mother.
C. The quarrel between the boy and his customers. D. The fight between the boy and his father.
25. What is the text mainly about?
A. The early life of a journalist. B. The early success of a journalist.
C. The happy childhood of the writer. D. The important role of the writer in his family.
C
We don’t know how different our future will be in the future. We can only try to imagine it.
At first we think about human relationship. In the year 2050, we will use computers almost every day. We will be making new friends through the Internet----even our husbands or wives will be met in this way. It will be much faster and easier for us. On the other hand, our relationships with people won’t be as important as they are today----we will feel a little lonely.
Computers will also help us in many other activities in 2050. For example, they will be used by the children at school to make their learning easier. In addition, there will be much more other machines which will play a similar role as computers, like robots which will do the housework for us.
Spending holidays will also be completely different. Traveling to other planets or to the moon will be available for everyone. Means of transport will, of course, change, too. We will be using solar-powered cars, which will be much more environmentally friendly.
We could expect that the faster technological progress would lead to a more pollution environment. But it isn't true. We will pay more attention to protecting the environment. And, scientists will probably find cures for many dangerous diseases, like cancer or AIDS. Therefore, our surroundings as well as our health will be in a better condition.
Although we can’t predict the exact changes which will be made in the world, we often think about them. We worry about our and our children’s future; we have expectations, hopes as well as fears. But I think we should be rather sanguine about our future. We should be happy and believe good things will happen.
26. Why will people probably feel a little lonely in 2050?
A. Because the number of people will become much smaller.
B. Because there will be less face-to-face communication.
C. Because people won’t like making friends with each other.
D. Because people won’t communicate with each other much often.
27. The third paragraph mainly tells us ____.
A. that computers will do all the things for human beings.
B. how people will use computers to communicate with each other.
C. that machines like computers and robots will help people a lot
D. how people will use robots to do the housework
28. According to the passage, which of the following will happen in 2050?
A. The relationship between people will be more important than today.
B. The way of spending holidays will be the same as that of today.
C. It won’t be difficult for people to travel to other planets.
D. Our environment will be much more polluted with a growing number of cars.
29. The underlined word “sanguine” in the last paragraph most probably means ______.
A. disappointed B. surprised C. curious D. optimistic
30. What does the passage mainly talk about?
A. How people will communicate in the year 2050
B. What our life will be like in the year 2050
C. How people will travel and spend their holiday in the year 2050
D. What high technology will appear in the year 2050 Ks5u
D
Many psychologists in the early twentieth century believed that humans use only 10 percent of their brains, and even the great Albert Einstein once wrote that most people use only a small portion(部分) of the grey matter between their ears. It's a theory that has often been put forward in television documentaries; magazines, advertisements and books over the past century.
But nearly all scientists now agree the 10 percent theory is completely unfounded. In fact, they question how this figure was ever arrived at in the first place and what areas of the brain are supposed to be unneeded. The theory supposes that if 90 percent of the brain were removed, a person would still be able to function normally, while in reality it is known that damage to even a small area of the brain can result in extremely serious physical injury different activities and that many areas of the brain are used at the same time for some complex activities or thought processes.
Throughout the course of one day, most areas of the brain are active at some time, even during sleep. The 10 percent theory suggests that certain areas of the brain are not used, but scans show activities throughout the entire brain and not in any separate part. The final argument against the 10 percent theory is the fact that doctors carefully map the brain before removing brain cancers so that they don't affect other essential areas.
From an evolutionary point of view, it's highly unlikely that our comparatively larger brains would have evolved(进化) from our ancestors if the extra areas were not needed. In fact, there is absolutely no evidence support the 10 percent theory.
Ks5u
31. How did the 10 percent theory get such widespread popularity?
A. It was promoted in various types of copular media.
B. Albert Einstein argued strongly in support.
C. It was proven in scientific research.
D. Few people could prove it wrong.
32. The underlined word "unfounded" is chest in meaning to _________.
A. undiscovered B. unproven C. unknown D. unnecessary
33. Which of the following is true according to the writer?
A. We use less than 10% of our brains.
B. Most brain disorders affect the same part of the brain.
C. The brain is less active during times of sleep.
D. The 10 percent theory does not make evolutionary sense.
34. What can we infer from the passage?
A. People today use more of their brain than in the past.
B. Scientific opinion about the topic of brain use is equally divided.
C. Our understanding of the brain has changed greatly in the past decades.
D. Modern scientists have a complete picture of how the brain works.
35. What is the main purpose of the passage?
A. To present two sides of brain theory. B. To criticize the 10 percent theory.
C. To explain how brain works. D. To describe the history of brain research.

参考范文
Dear Bruce,
I am glad to know that you have begun to study Chinese literature. Now let me tell you something about Lu Xun.
Born in Shaoxing, Zhejiang Province, Lu Xun,whose real name was Zhou Shuren, gave up the study of medicine because he thought he could change the society more through writing at that time . Lu Xun was not only a well-known Chinese writer and thinker, but also the father of modern Chinese literature. His works have made a great effect on Chinese literature, and some of them have been collected in the textbooks of high schools and colleges. His novels have been translated into many languages and some of them have been made into films, such as The True Story of AH Q and The New Year’s Sacrifice. Lu Xun worked on changing the fate of the nation by changing people’s spirit, and for this reason he has been honored as “the Soul of the Nation”.
Since you are learning Chinese literature, I think reading Lu Xun’s novels will benefit you a lot.
Yours,
Li Ming
