资源描述
阅读下列四篇短文，从每小题后所给的A,B,C或D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
You know how wonderful you are，and you know that others know how wonderful you are，but what do you do when admiration crosses over the line into jealousy？For most teens there will come a day when you realize that one of your friends is jealous and that this jealousy is hurting your friendship.When this happens it can seem like there is nothing that you can do，but the good news is that there is.Don't let jealousy spoil your relationships.Tackle it head on and you might be back to normal much sooner than you think.
It can be hard to walk up to a friend and ask them what the problem is，but if you want to save your friendship you'll have to do just that.Don't approach them and ask why they are jealous of you (unless of course you want to appear totally conceited)，just take some time alone with them and let them know that you've been feeling like there's been something coming between you.If they refuse to respond，then use the opportunity to explain how you have been feeling.Chances are that something you say will strike a nerve and your friend will open up as well.
When you figure out what is annoying your friend，ask him or her what (s)he thinks would make the situation better.If，for example，(s)he says that (s)he feels like (s)he doesn't get to spend any time with you because of your being off with your new friends from the swim team then maybe you could invite her along the next time or block off one day a week for just the two of you.Remember，though，that whatever solution you decide on should be a compromise.Don't limit your own talents or opportunities simply because your friend is unhappy.Try instead to include him or her in your new life and see how that works out.
Even the best of friendships can be tinged by jealousy.This destructive emotion is rarely productive and can turn best friends into worst enemies.Before taking extreme action，chat with your jealous friend to see if the two of you can work out a compromise.If you can't，be prepared to know exactly how far you will go to keep your friend and how far you won't.

In a time of low academic (学术的) achievement by children in the United States, many Americans are turning to Japan, a country of high academic achievement and economic success, for possible answers. However, the answers provided by Japanese preschools are not the ones Americans expected to find. In most Japanese preschools, surprisingly little emphasis is put on academic instruction. In one investigation, 300 Japanese and 210 American preschool teachers, child development specialists, and parents were asked about various aspects of early childhood education. Only 2 percent of the Japanese respondents (答问卷者) listed "to give children a good start academically" as one of their top three reasons for a society to have preschools. In contrast, over half the American respondents chose this as one of their top three choices. To prepare children for successful careers in first grade and beyond, Japanese schools do not teach reading, writing, and mathematics, but rather skills such as persistence, concentration, and the ability to function as a member of a group. The majority of young Japanese children are taught to read at home by their parents.
In the recent comparison of Japanese and American pre school education, 91 percent of Japanese respondents chose providing children with a group experience as one of their top three reasons for a society to have preschools. 62 percent of the more individually oriented (强调共性进展的) Americans listed group experience as one of their top three choices. An em phasis on the importance of the group seen in Japanese early childhood education continues into elementary school education.
Like in America, there is diversity (多样性) in Japanese early childhood education. Some Japanese kindergartens have specific aims, such as early musical training or potential (潜力) development. In large cities, some kindergartens are attached to universities that have elementary and secondary schools.
Some Japanese parents believe that if their young children attend a university-based program, it will increase the children’s chances of eventually being admitted to top-rated schools and universities. Several more progressive programs have introduced free play as a way out for the heavy intellectualizing in some Japanese kindergartens.
5. We learn from the first paragraph that many Americans believe ________.
A. Japanese parents pay more attention to preschool education than American parents
B. Japan’s economic success is a result of its scientific achievements
C. Japanese preschool education emphasizes academic in struction
D. Japan’s higher education is better than theirs
6. Most American respondents believe that preschools should also attach
importance to ________.
A. problem solvingB. group experience
C. parental guidanceD. individually oriented development
7. In Japan’s preschool education, the focus is on ________.
A. preparing children academicallyB. developing children’s artistic interests
C. tapping children’s potentialD. shaping children’s character
8. Why do some Japanese parents send their children to university-based kindergartens?
A. They can do better in their future studies.
B. They can gain more group experience there.
C. They can be individually oriented when they grow up.
D. They can have better chances of getting a first-rate edu cation.
5. C 推断题。从第一段的第一、二句我们可以看出由于美国孩子的学术成就缓慢，很多美国家长到日本取经，然而他们看到的不是他们所预料的，由此我们知道，很多美国人认为日本格外重视孩子的学术训练。
6. B 细节题。从其次段我们知道，62％的美国人把group experience作为他们的三个最重要的选择之一。
7. D 细节题。从第一段的To prepare children for successful careers…and the ability to function as a member of a group可知。
8. D 细节题。从最终—段的第一句可知。

It’s interesting to see how people make use of the time they spend on public transport in Indian cities like Delhi and Mumbai.
In crowded buses and trains people manage to take a short nap and some even reach the snoring stage. Or they spread out a newspaper over multiple knees and arms to read about the latest sport results or political crisis.
Then there are the experienced travellers who have been playing cards with the same group over the last decade or so. They even have their specific seats so well-worn that you can make out the shape of their backsides.
There is no doubt about it. Travelling by public transport is being in the thick of the seasons of life — a sweaty life in summer where people, blissfully unaware of the rivers of sweat running down their brows and inside their clothes. At the first smell of a perfumed man or woman boarding the stuffy bus or train, most people feel they are reborn.
During the rains you can’t avoid getting wet or muddied. The windows, almost always, are not a perfect fit and if you’re not drenched by a sudden, heavy rain shower then you are bound to catch a jet spray of muddy water caused by a fellow motorist driving fast through a puddle.
Rains are a perfect time for people to switch their old umbrellas for new ones. Since there are so many that look alike, it’s impossible to tell whose is whose.
Winter is the time when it feels good — or at least warm — to be part of a crowd. It is amazing how much the collective breaths of a 100 or so people can raise the freezing temperature inside. Looking at the masses dressed in their bright red pullovers or green coats, it’s fun to imagine what faces lie beneath their dark woolen hats.
The cold winter passes, making way for spring. It is impossible not to see every little flower by the wayside blooming proudly. And the warm sun manages to transmit some of their pleasantness to the inside of a bus or train.
Now, wouldn’t it be perfect if we had a public transport worth the name in all our cities?
6. On Indian public transport, you can always expect to see people ________.
A. sleeping and reading newspapers
B. arguing and playing games
C. enjoying the view and playing cards
D. carrying umbrellas and whispering politely
7. According to the author what will make passengers feel refreshed during summer travelling?
A. The cool evening breeze. B. The rain pouring over their clothes.
C. The joy of a game of cards. D. The sweet fragrance of a new passenger.
8. If you see people in colourful clothing and breathing heavily, you are probably travelling during the ________.
A. summer B. rainy seasons C. winter D. spring
9. We can infer from the passage that __________.
A. Indian people don’t mind switching umbrellas with others
B. almost everyone in India wears perfume when they go out
C. the buses and trains are old and in poor conditions
D. Indian transport is the most crowded in the world
10. What is the tune of language used in this passage?
A. Humourous. B. Critical. C. Frightening. D. Concerned.

____72___ Among the Masai of East Africa, when men are old enough to marry and make decisions for their people, they participate in a special ceremony in which they paint their heads and faces red.

The Mayan Indians lived in Mexico for thousands of years before the Spanish arrived in the 1500s．They had farms, beautiful palaces, and cities with many buildings． 71 This knowledge helped them to live a better life than most people of that rime, because they could use it to make their life more comfortable and rewarding．
In ancient Mexico there were many small clearings in the forest．In each clearing was a village with fields of corn, beans, and other crops around it．To clear the land for farms, the Maya cut down trees with stone axes．They planted seeds by digging holes in the ground with pointed sticks． 72
The Maya believed in many gods, including rain gods, sun gods, and corn gods．The people built large temples to honor the Mayan gods, around which cities were built．Today, many of these ancient Mayan cities and temples are still standing．
Although the cities were beautiful, and the people worked hard to build them, few of them lived there．Usually, only the priests lived in the cities．The other people lived in small villages in the forests．They lived in small huts with no windows．The walls were made of poles covered with dried mud, and the roof was made of grass or leaves． 73
Measuring time was important to the Maya． 74 The Maya developed a system for measuring time accurately．Mayan priests made a system to keep track of time．They made a calendar based on their study of the sun, moon and stars．The Mayan calendar was far more accurate than the European calendars of the time．
Around the year 800, the Maya left their villages and beautiful cities, never to return． 75 They may have died from an infectious disease．They may have left because the soil could no longer grow crops．Scientists are still trying to find the lost secrets of the Maya．They are still one of our greatest mysteries．
