23．（8分）There’s something about the New Year that always makes me read my horoscope (星象) to see what lies ahead. I don’t believe in any of it really but there’s comfort in being told that the next 12 months will bring health, wealth and happiness. Well, it’s usually over optimistic, isn’t it?
There are many other people who are also skeptical about astrology (占星术) and its belief that knowledge of the position of the stars and planets can help us understand our personality or predict human affairs. However, despite the lack of scientific evidence in its favour, astrology has been around for thousands of years, and is believed by millions of people in both the West and the East.
The West has its star signs every month and the East has its animals every year. I’m a Pig. When I first found out I was a Pig person I was a little disappointed, and my friends (powerful Dragons, friendly Dogs and fierce Tigers) laughed. Pigs have a bad reputation— people think they’re dirty animals that smell horrible.
In the Chinese zodiac (生肖) there are 12 animals and according to one legend, when Buddha left the earth, only 12 animals came to say goodbye to him. As a reward Buddha named a year after each of the animals in the order that they came to him, and the pig came last. So I thought I was unlucky being a Pig but this isn’t so.
It appears that Pigs are kind people who are helpful and giving. They tend to make good friends as they are faithful, thoughtful and trusting. Pigs are happy, optimistic people and have lots of fun—that sounds OK to me! However, Pigs are often naïve (幼稚的) and apparently it’s easy to cheat a Pig. They are also likely to react without thinking, and they’re not that great with money either. Pigs, it seems, get along with Sheep and Rabbits but, interestingly, not other Pigs, who they should stay clear of.
1、Finding out that he was a Pig person, the author felt ________.
A．a little unhappy B．very excited
C．quite proud D．a little surprised
2、What is the legend mentioned in Paragraph 4 mainly about?
A．The lonely life of Buddha. B．The features of Pig people.
C．The advantages of being a Pig. D．The origin of the Chinese zodiac.
3、Which of the following is TRUE about Pigs?
A．They are innocent. B．They are very lazy.
C．They are very smart. D．They are moneymakers.
4、What does the underlined part “stay clear of” in the last paragraph mean?
A．Give in to. B．Fight against.
C．Keep away from. D．Make friends with.
24．（8分）“You can choose your friends, but you can’t choose your family.” That line comes from American writer Harper Lee’s book To Kill a Mockingbird. Now compare her words to another famous expression: “Blood is thicker than water”.
However, if forced to choose which is more important, American researchers now say friendship is more important than family. Their new study suggests that friends may be more important than family members, especially as we age.
The study comes from researchers at Michigan State University. They found the importance of friendship on health and happiness grows as people get older.
William Chopik is an assistant professor of psychology at Michigan State and was one of the lead researchers in this study. He says, “Friendship becomes even more important as we age. Keeping a few really good friends around can make a world of difference for our health and well-being.” Chopik notes that we need to think of friendship as an investment in our future happiness.
The Michigan State researchers considered information from two separate surveys. In the first group, both family and friendships influenced overall health and happiness. However, in the second, researchers said that friendships “became a stronger predictor of health and happiness” as people get older. Also in the second group, unhealthy friendships led to increased chronic conditions. But with supportive friends, Chopik noted, participants reported being happier.
One reason is that people can keep the friendships that make them feel good and move on from the ones that don’t. Family, on the other hand, will always be with you. They can be helpful and enjoyable, but can also cause troubles.
This may be good news for people who don’t have strong ties with family members. Not all of us are born into the families we need. But we all have the ability to choose friends that we need.
1、94．What should we invest to get later well-being according to the researchers?
A．Good friend ties. B．Easy health exercises.
C．Common family relations. D．Personal relation knowledge.
2、96．How is the research carried out?
A．By doing two experiments. B．By interviewing all at once.
C．By conducting two surveys. D．By taking part in activities.
3、98．What can the people with weak family ties do?
A．Develop stronger family relations. B．Make as many friends as possible.
C．Get more supportive friends. D．Stay with family members
4、100．What is the main idea of the passage?
A．Friends and family members are equally important.
B．When we grow older, friendship matters more.
C．As we age, family members are more valuable.
D．We always need friends and family members.
25．（10分）Whatever Rock was doing down there, it made enough noise for me to go to him. By the time I made it to the bottom of the stairs, he was running up, and he never came up the stairs, no matter what. I think that was his way of telling me, “We’ve got to go back up.”
When I got to the top of the stairs, I turned around and saw a light on, but I didn’t remember leaving one on. I walked downstairs again, and that’s when I saw fire, I immediately shouted to my wife to wake up and get our three kids, I grabbed a knife and cut out the plastic that covered the window to the porch roof. I then broke the window and kicked out the screen. I got everybody out on the roof and threw a blanket out there so we wouldn’t slip off. It was cold, January cold. Then I started screaming for help. But help never came.
Now, I’m scared of heights and have physical issues, what with my rheumatoid arthritis(类风湿性关节炎), but I couldn’t let my family burn up. So I jum
