四、阅读理解
When going through major life changes,like changing careers,I would change the people whom I spent the most time with.We’ve all gone through periods when the people in our lives have changed—graduation,moving to a new city,getting a new job,joining a new club,etc.I don’t think I need to convince you just how much influence other people can have over your identity.If you’ve ever experienced a major switch in your people environment,then you know that you change as well.
Most people don’t make these choices consciously(有意识地) though.You might consciously decide to spend more time with a certain friend,or you may ask someone out on a date to begin a new relationship.But few people choose their existing friendships deliberately.
There’s no “getting rid of people”.People are always dropping into and out of each other’s lives.Associations grow into friendships,and friendships fade into associations.You don’t get rid of anyone.The truth is that in order to make room for new people and new experiences,you may need to loosen up some of your existing connections.
What about loyalty(忠诚) Shouldn’t you always be loyal to your friends Once you have a close friend,even if his influence on you is slightly harmful,shouldn’t you stick by him
Loyalty to a friend sometimes means having to let go.It means being loyal to his highest and best self as well.If someone is destroying his health by smoking,for example,you aren’t showing loyalty by smoking right along with him.True loyalty sometimes requires that you break damaging connections,get yourself back on solid ground,and then decide what you can really do to help your friend.
It can take a lot of courage to tell someone,“I’m sorry,but I can’t have you in my life anymore.” But even though this might seem like a selfish act at times,it’s often the best thing for the other person too.If a relationship is holding you back in some way,understand that it’s also hurting the other person.For example,if you work for a violent boss,your acceptance of that situation is considered to be silent approval,encouraging your boss to continue to behave violently.
1.When experiencing major life changes,people may    .
A.join a new social community
B.influence their friends around
C.choose their friendships purposely
D.have their people environment changed
答案:D
解析:细节理解题。根据第一段中的 “When going through major life changes... I would change the people whom I spent the most time with... you’ve ever experienced a major switch in your people environment...” 可知, 当经历人生重大改变时, 人们也会经历人际环境的改变。故选D项。
2.What does the underlined sentence in paragraph 3 mean
A.Everyone has at least one friend.
B.It is unnecessary to make new friends.
C.Friendship still exists though there are fewer connections.
D.You ought to treat your old and new friends equally.
答案:C
解析:句意理解题。根据画线句后的 “People are always dropping into and out of each other’s lives. Associations grow into friendships, and friendships fade into associations. You don’t get rid of anyone... you may need to loosen up some of your existing connections.” 可知, 尽管人们之间的联系少了, 但友谊依然存在。故选C项。
3.What is the author’s opinion on the loyalty to friends
A.Never betray your close friends whatever happens.
B.Correct their mistakes while you guard their goodness.
C.Stick by your friends even though they do harm to you.
D.Break up with your friends immediately if they smoke.
答案:B
解析:推理判断题。根据文章倒数第二段的第二句和最后一句可知, 作者对朋友忠诚的态度是纠正错误但要捍卫他们的优点。故选B项。
4.How should we behave when employed by a violent boss
A.We should accept what we are told to do.
B.We should stay silent and be in favour of him.
C.We should bravely disobey him if he is wrong.
D.We should give our boss courage to continue.
答案:C
解析:推理判断题。根据最后一段中的 “... your acceptance of that situation is considered to be silent approval, encouraging your boss to continue to behave violently.” 可知, 如果老板错了, 员工就要勇敢地不去服从。故选C项。Section Ⅲ Discovering Useful Structures

I’ve never visited the town of Wetumka in Oklahoma of the USA.But I know people there celebrate a day every year when they laugh at themselves. 1  And they plan a town festival ceremony on the last Saturday of September to celebrate it.
It all started in 1950 when a man calling himself F.Bam Morrison arrived in Wetumka and persuaded the local people to put up money to bring a circus to the town. 2  They thought he was a good guy.
Businessmen bought plenty of food,drinks,and souvenirs in preparation for the crowds of people.And Morrison sold tickets in advance. 3 They were happy with the thought of a circus in their own village.
On the day the circus parade was to march down the main street,happiness turned into disappointment when nothing happened.Morrison had slipped away(溜走) in the night with all the money he had raised. 4 The people of Wetumka had been fooled.
It didn’t take long for their disappointment to turn into enjoyment,though. Someone came up with the idea of holding a four-day celebration. 5  They called their party “The Sucker Festival”. People celebrated the fact that they had been cheated.And now Sucker Day is an important event in Wetumka every year.

Rich and Famous
Twenty years ago the most common ambition of American children was to be a teacher,followed by working in banking and finance,and then medicine.But today’s situation is quite different. 1  Instead they most commonly say they want to be a sports star,a pop star,or an actor—in other words,they hope to become a celebrity.
According to experts,young people desire these jobs largely because of the wealth and the fame. 2  Let’s take athletes and singers as an example.Their careers are short-lived.Many athletes’ best time only lasts a few years and singers can have a very limited career.The field that was once the focus of their lives becomes something they have little or no involvement in.As a result,they’ll have a feeling of worthlessness and a lack of control. 3  The truth is quite simple:they have been so far removed from it for so long.
In spite of these disadvantages,there is greater ambition than ever among young people to achieve that status.They are not satisfied just making a living—they want to be rich and famous.Globally,more and more TV shows provide talent competitions where winners can achieve their goals in just a few weeks or months. 4  They unrealistically believe that this lifestyle is easily obtained and leads to great satisfaction.
While many people argue that there is nothing wrong with having such ambitions,others feel that this trend will finally lead to dissatisfaction as more and more people are unable to reach their goals. 5  That means they ignore the simple fact that great effort is needed before success.As a result,many people won’t realise their childhood dreams,which could have a negative effect on their happiness.
A.The younger generation don’t favour these professions any more.
B.In many ways this has been brought about by the celebrity culture.
C.Unfortunately,they do not always have a positive effect on people’s life.
D.Besides,it can be difficult for them to adapt back to a normal everyday life.
E.People no longer have a sense of satisfaction once their goals have been achieved.
F.This quick way of gaining wealth and fame creates a celebrity culture among people.
G.The reason is that they don’t realise it takes talent and hard work to be rich and famous.

When going through major life changes,like changing careers,I would change the people whom I spent the most time with.We’ve all gone through periods when the people in our lives have changed—graduation,moving to a new city,getting a new job,joining a new club,etc.I don’t think I need to convince you just how much influence other people can have over your identity.If you’ve ever experienced a major switch in your people environment,then you know that you change as well.
Most people don’t make these choices consciously(有意识地) though.You might consciously decide to spend more time with a certain friend,or you may ask someone out on a date to begin a new relationship.But few people choose their existing friendships deliberately.
There’s no “getting rid of people”.People are always dropping into and out of each other’s lives.Associations grow into friendships,and friendships fade into associations.You don’t get rid of anyone.The truth is that in order to make room for new people and new experiences,you may need to loosen up some of your existing connections.
What about loyalty(忠诚) Shouldn’t you always be loyal to your friends Once you have a close friend,even if his influence on you is slightly harmful,shouldn’t you stick by him
Loyalty to a friend sometimes means having to let go.It means being loyal to his highest and best self as well.If someone is destroying his health by smoking,for example,you aren’t showing loyalty by smoking right along with him.True loyalty sometimes requires that you break damaging connections,get yourself back on solid ground,and then decide what you can really do to help your friend.
It can take a lot of courage to tell someone,“I’m sorry,but I can’t have you in my life anymore.” But even though this might seem like a selfish act at times,it’s often the best thing for the other person too.If a relationship is holding you back in some way,understand that it’s also hurting the other person.For example,if you work for a violent boss,your acceptance of that situation is considered to be silent approval,encouraging your boss to continue to behave violently.
1.When experiencing major life changes,people may    .
A.join a new social community
B.influence their friends around
C.choose their friendships purposely
D.have their people environment changed
2.What does the underlined sentence in paragraph 3 mean
A.Everyone has at least one friend.
B.It is unnecessary to make new friends.
C.Friendship still exists though there are fewer connections.
D.You ought to treat your old and new friends equally.
3.What is the author’s opinion on the loyalty to friends
A.Never betray your close friends whatever happens.
B.Correct their mistakes while you guard their goodness.
C.Stick by your friends even though they do harm to you.
D.Break up with your friends immediately if they smoke.
4.How should we behave when employed by a violent boss
A.We should accept what we are told to do.
B.We should stay silent and be in favour of him.
C.We should bravely disobey him if he is wrong.
D.We should give our boss courage to continue.
