Susan Williams went to a boarding school. Here is one of the letters she wrote to her parents from the school.

Dear Mom and Dad,

I’m afraid I have some ver y bad news for you. I have been very naughty and the school principal is very angry with me. She is going to write to you. You must come and take me away from here. She does not want me in the school any longer.

The trouble started last night when I was smoking a cigarette in bed. This is against the rules, of course. We are not supposed to smoke at all.

As I was smoking, I heard footsteps coming towards the room. I did not want a teacher to catch me smoking, so I threw the cigarette away. Unfortunately, the cigarette fell into the waste-paper basket, which caught fire. There was a curtain near the waste-paper basket which caught fire, too. Soon the whole room was burning. The principal phoned for the fire department. The school is a long way from the town and by the time the fire department arrived, the whole school was in flames. Many of the girls are in the hospital.

The principal says that the fire was all my fault and you must pay for the damage. She will send you a bill for about a million dollars.

I am very sorry about this.

Much love, Susan.

P.S. None of the above is true, but I have failed my exams. I just want you to know how bad things could have been!

This summer, a special SSP reporting team paid a sixteen-day visit to Canada. During the trip, we went to many places like the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, Vancouver City Hall and the office of a local newspaper named Richmond News, and of course, we did lots of interviews there.

Vancouver City Hall was the most unforgettable place for me. On July 5, we fortunately got an opportunity to visit the city hall located in downtown Vancouver. We took a short tour around the building and saw a number of office spaces, such as the chamber where Officials discussed public affairs and current events. Then we interviewed the managing director of the social policy of the city of Vancouver, Mary Clare Zak.

We discussed many aspects of Vancouver including education, business, immigration, etc. When we were talking about the education, Miss Zak mentioned that overseas students and students who were recent immigrants might have some difficulties with language learning. She said that the government was working on it and trying to encourage those students to communicate more with local residents. Plus, the school boards(校委会)were working together with local families to help those students adapt to this new environment more quickly.

Meanwhile. Miss Zak indicated that the government hopes that the university students from other countries could stay and work in Canada after graduation because Canada is favour of multiculturalism. That is to say, Canadians welcome new things and new culture. “We don't usually call the immigrants(移民) foreigners. We call them newcomers instead,” Miss Zak said.

In general, it was a good chance for me to know Canada and Vancouver in depth. Also. it helped us develop our abilities as journalists.

25. Which of the following serves best as the title of this passage?

A. An interesting visit to Canada

B. An Interview at Vancouver City Hall

C. An unforgettable experience in Vancouver

D. A Visit to Canadian Broadcasting Corporation

26. "________" may be closed to the underlined word "chamber" in the 2nd paragraph.

A. Government official

B. Private Bedroom

C. Travel Suitcase

D. Meeting Hall

27. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

A. The writer of the passage may be a student.

B. The SSP reporting team is a Canadian group.

C. The special team took no notice of education.

D. The school boards were working together with local families to help those students work in Canada

after graduation.

28. Mary Clare Zak expressed an idea that ____________.

A. foreign language learning is not a hard job

B. oversea students cannot talk with local people

C. they called the immigrants newcomers

D. university students after graduation should go to Canada

C

People all need friends because nobody wants to be lonely and a friend can help you in good and bad times. You’ve made friends since childhood, but you still don’t know who your true friends are. Here are some signs to tell you if your friend is a true friend:

Always honest

Honesty is important to keep a relationship alive. A true friend always tells you the truth. It may be hard sometimes but lying can destroy a friendship. It is important that your friend speaks honestly and never makes up stories.

There are always periods in your life when you have problems or difficulties. A true friend will always have time to listen to your problems and give advice. It may not be able to offer a solution to your problems but the fact that your friend made time to listen is a sign he/she cares for you. Your friend is not a true friend if he/she can never make time for you when you are in trouble. You also need to be reasonable and accept that your friend also has other things to do so he/she can’t always listen immediate ly to your problems.

Always respectful

A true friend will always respect your opinion no matter whether he/she agrees or not. Your true friend may disagree but never insists that he/she is correct.

Always understanding

It is possible that some problems will arise between you and your friend. A true friend will always be forgiving and understanding even if it isn’t his /her fault. We are all different people and we all make mistakes.

A true friend is always forgiving and understanding because he/she doesn’t want to take the risk of losing his/her best friend. 29．What’s the best title for the third paragraph?

A. Always happy for you

B. Always there for you

C. Always solve your problems

D. Always remember your important days

30．According to the passage, what will a true friend always do?

A. Share the same interests with you.

B. Offer a solution for your problems in time.

C. Respect your opinion even if he/she disagrees with it.

D. Be a good listener and listen immediately to your troubles.

31．What’s the author’s purpose in writing this passage?

A. To teach us how to make true friends.

B. To find out how long a friendship can last.

C. To introduce his experience in making friends.

D. To tell us how to find out if a friend is a true friend.

D

Being lonely in the crowd might seem ridiculous. But according to a recent survey, the situation is all too common. Loneliness and other anxiety problems –worrying about life’s pressures –can even lead to self-murder.

An article in China Daily gave no reason for this other than the usual blaming of the post-80s generation. According to a high level official, young people suffering from discouragement are mostly “spoiled and have not been taught to be independent, responsible and express ‘thank-you’.” Well, how do you like that? First, I don’t think China’s youth are exactly spoiled. They certainly have more things than their parents did, but a lot of the money spent on them is for their education including various extra classes.

Discouragement and anxiety are now the fastest growing challenges in modern societies. We sense a lack of close friends who can talk to honestly and openly. In 1985, a US study found that one in ten people did not have such a friend. In 2006, it was one in four. It’s easy to see the connection between loneliness and discouragement. But what actually causes this increasing loneliness?

Surely, with Internet social networking sites such as Kaixin, we have more friends than ever. A new study has shown that the more time teenagers spend in front of computers, the less close they are to friends and family. Kaixin or QQ may be fun but it lacks meaning, compared to personal connections in the real world.

And then there are those endless online games popular with young Chinese but increasingly there are more interesting choices. For example, new sports such as skateboarding are starting to catch on（流行）in bigger cities, as is playing music in a band. These creative hobbies are done in a group and thus friendship can be stronger. Hopefully young people will also be drawn out of the Internet cafes and interactive computer

games that in fact fail to recreate a real and interactive experience.

32.According to the high level official, it is easy for teenagers lacking independence and responsibility to _______.

A. become spoiled

B. play endless online games

C. suffer from loneliness and anxiety

D. refuse to express gratitude

33.What does the writer think of the Internet social networking site Kaixin?

A. Open but ridiculous.

B. Honest and responsible.

C. Real and fun.

D. Interesting but meaningless.

34.It can be inferred in Paragraph 3 that _______.

A. it’s now more difficult for people to find close friends to have an honest chat with

B. parents focus mostly on children’s education rather than the personality building

C. young people have no idea of expressing appreciation because of being spoiled

D. teenagers will recreate a real and interactive experience to strengthen friendship

35.According to the text, which of the following can help us avoid being lonely in the crowd?

A. To stay long in Internet cafes.

B. To focus on extra courses.

C. To give up our own hobbies.

D. To play music in a band.

第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

At times, our worries and anxieties can defeat us. 36 Here is a brief list of techniques that you can use to help gain a better viewpoint on things during the anxious moments.

37 . A person should take a deep breath and try to find something to do for a few minutes to get their mind off the problem. A person could get some fresh air, listen to some music, or do an activity that will give them a fresh perspective on things.

Remember that our fearful thoughts are made to seem worse and can make the problem worse.

38 When unexpectedly having thoughts that make you fearful or anxious, challenge these thoughts by asking yourself positive questions that will maintain objectivity(客观性) and common sense.

Be smart in how you deal with fears and anxieties. Do not try to deal with everything all at once. When facing a current or upcoming task that makes you anxious, break the task into small ones. 39 Remember that all the worrying in the world will not change anything. Most of what you worry about never comes true. 40 Then you should leave everything else in the hands of God.

It is not easy to deal with all the fears and worries. When your fears and anxieties have the best of you, try to calm down and then get the facts of the situation. The key is to take it slow. All you can do is doing your best each day, hope for the best, and when something does happen, take it easy. Take it one step at a time and things will work out well at last.

A. When feeling anxious, stop what you are doing and try to do something relaxing.

B. This will give you the confidence to manage your anxiety.

C. Instead of worrying about something that probably won’t happen, concentrate on what you are able to do.

D. The next time you feel depressed, review your list and think about the good things that you have in your life.

E. A good way to manage your worry is to challenge your negative thinking with positive statements and realistic thinking.

F. In addition, our worries can change our understanding of what is reality and what is not.

G. Completing these smaller tasks once at a time will make the stress more manageable and increase your chances of success.
