解析

本文主要从以下几个时期介绍了“朋友”的概念:在幼儿园时给你一支红蜡笔的人就是好朋友;在小学陪你去洗澡等的人也是好朋友;在中等学校(secondary school)与你一起去参加晚会的人也是好朋友;上大学前帮助你挑选并进入大学的人也是你的好友……
1. A 结合全文可看出,此处说的是“在小学时”你对好朋友的概念或看法,即 your idea of a good friend。
2. C 从 as you walked through the scary(可怕的) halls(当你走过可怕的大厅时)可推测此处应填 held,也就是说“攥紧你的手”(让你不要害怕)。
3. C 结合下文“……当你把午饭忘在公交车上时”可知该题选择shared,即“与你一起分享他们的午餐”。
4. D “leave… + 地点状语”表示“把……忘在……”此句意为“当你把你的午饭忘在了公交车上时”。yours 在此指的是 your lunch。
5. B 从 on the back of the bus for you 来看,此处说的是“为你在车后部给你占座位”,故用 seat。
6. C 此处选 who,它引导的是一个宾语从句(不是定语从句),该句意思为:知道你迷恋谁,但从没有理解为什么。
7. B 前面提到了幼儿园、小学,后面又提到了 pre-university(上大学前),而 college(大学)又在 pre-university 之后,故选择 secondary。secondary school 意为“中学”。
8. D 从搭配上看,此处应用 copy。check one’s homework 意为“检查作业”,而 copy one’s homework 意为“抄作业”。从孩提时对朋友的看法来看用 copy 更合乎这一时期的学生心理。
9. B 根据“和你一块去参加很‘酷’的晚会”和“你不会以新手而结束”可知,前句为原因,后句为结果,也就是说前后为因果关系,故选择so。
10. D 此句指“他们不让你独自吃午餐”。“独自”是指客观上的一个人,故选alone。
11. D 从后面 in their new car 来看,rides 为最佳答案,即“让你搭乘他们的新车”。
12. D 前面说:你和 Nick 或 Susan 分手,再结合后面括号中的(both without dates),可知此处选择 date,意为“找个日期去舞会或与你一块去舞会来安慰你”。
13. D 前面说“帮你选择大学”,可推测下句为“让你有信心进入这所大学”,故用 university。
14. C 在此,deal with 应理解为“关照”。主句意为“帮助你照看你父母”,可推知你走后父母的日子相对来说比较艰辛,故用 hard。
15. D 写到这里应该是成年人时期了,故用 adulthood。
16. B 此处选择 when,它引导一个时间状语从句。该句意思为:当你不能在家照顾父母时好朋友却在那里(照顾你父母)。
17. A 在第 2 段中曾提到“你和 Nick 或 Susan”分手,这里是说“你和 Nick 或 Susan又言归于好(be back together)”。
18. A 此处说的是与以前的 Nick 或 Susan 恢复了关系,再结合下文at 18 years of memories 可知此处应选 looked,look at 为“看到”,即 looked through blurry eyes at 18 years of memories(透过模糊的双眼看到了 18 年来的思念或记忆)。
19. C 在这里是说“让你相信就像这 18 年(获得爱情)一样你一定能成功”。make it 为短语,意为“成功地做到;达到目的”。
20. D 从上下文来看,此处说的是“最重要的是送你上大学并让你懂得有人爱你”。send off 为“为……送行”,send sb off to 意为“送……去……”。

When I was about 12, I had an enemy, a girl who liked to point out my shortcomings.
Week by week her list grew: I was very thin; I wasn’t a good student; I talked too much; I was too proud and so on.. I tried to bear all these all these things as long as I could. At last, I became very angry. I ran to my father with tears in my eyes.
He listened to me quietly, then he asked, “Are the things she said true or not? Janet, didn’t you ever wonder what you are really like? Well, you now have the girl’s opinion. Go and make a list of everything she said mark the points that are true. Pay no attention to other things she said.”
I did as he told me. To my great surprise, I discovered that about half of the things were true.
some of them I couldn’t change (like being very thin), but a good number I could and suddenly I wanted to change. For the first time I got a fairly clear picture of myself.
I brought the list back to Daddy. He refused to take it, “That’s just for you,” he said. “ You know better than anyone else, the truth about yourself. But you have to learn to listen, not just closing your ears anger and feeling hurt . When something said about you is true, you’ll find it will be of help to you. Don’t shut your ears. Listen to other people’s opinions, but hear the truth and do you know is right thing to do.”

Michael Fish may soon be replaced as a weather forecaster by something truly fishier---the shark(鲨鱼).
Research by a British biology student suggests that sharks could be used to predict storms.
Lauren Smith, 24, is close to completing her study on shark’s ability to sense pressure.
If her studies prove the theory, scientists may be able to monitor the behaviour of sharks to predict bad weather.
Miss Smith had previously studied the behaviour of lemon sharks in the Bahamas.
She then used their close relatives, lesser spotted dogfish, for further research at Aberdeen University.
Her work---thought to be the first of its kind to test the pressure theory ---- resulted from the observation that juvenile blacktip sharks off Florida moved into deeper water ahead of a violent storm in 2001.
Miss Smith said: “I’ve always been crazy about traveling and diving and this led me to an interest in sharks.”
“I was delighted to have been able to research in the area for my degree. I know there’s so much more we need to understand ---- but it certainly opens the way to more research.”
It has been discovered that a shark senses pressure using hair cells in its balance system.
At the Bimini Shark Lab in the Bahamas, Miss Smith fixed hi-tech sensors to sharks to record pressure and temperature, while also tracking them using GPS (Global Positioning System) technology.
In Aberdeen, she was able to study the effects of tidal(潮汐的) and temperature changes on dogfish----none of which were harmed. She also used a special lab which can mimic(模拟) oceanic pressure changes caused by weather fronts.
She is due to complete her study and graduate later this year. She says she will be looking for a job which will give her the chance to enrich her experience of shark research.

Maybe ten-year-old Elizabeth put it best when she said to her father, "But, Dad, you can"t be healthy if you"re dead."
  Dad, in a hurry to get home before dark so he could go for a run, had forgotten to wear his safety belt-- a mistake 75% of US population make every day. The big question is why.
 There have been many myths about safety belt ever since their first appearance in cars some forty years ago. The following are three of the most common.
 Myth the Number One: It"s best to be "thrown clear" of a serious accident.
  Truth: Sorry, but any accident serious enough to "throw you clear" is able going to be serious enough to give you a very bad landing. And chances are you"ll have traveled through a windshield (挡风玻璃)or door to do it. Studies show that chances of dying after a car accident are twenty-five times in cases where people are "thrown clear".
 Myth Number Two: Safety-bets "trap" people in cars that are burning or sinking in water.
Truth: Sorry again, but studies show that people knocked unconscious (昏迷) due to not wearing safety belts have a greater chance of dying in these accidents. People wearing safety belts are usually protected to the point of having in these accidents. People wearing safety belts are usually protected to the point of having a clear head to free themselves from such dangerous situation, not to be trapped in them.
 Myth Number Three: Safety belts aren"t needed at speeds of less than 30 miles per hour (mph).
 Truth: When two cars traveling at 30 mph hit each other, an unbelted driver would meet the windshield with a force equal to diving headfirst into the ground from a height of 10 metres.
