I have a hearing problem, so my son helped me to check in my luggage (行李) at the Dulles International Airport Washington DC. I gave a birthday-quote card pack to a check-in clerk.
Her face was lighted up with a smile, thanking me. It was my first time at the Washington DC airport, so my son asked for a wheelchair to make sure I found the boarding gate. The check-in clerk came out from behind the counter (柜台) and requested my wheelchair from the lady managing it. I was thankful for what they did for me.
The gate was not an easy find for me. My son made the right decision to have the wheelchair. I was greatly thankful for his love and care for me. At the security check, they let me pass with my watch, belt and shoes on.
At the boarding gate, I said that I have a hearing problem and asked an airport official to let me know when my turn to board arrived. Immediately, she helped me to board the plane. I was thankful to her.
On the plane, the middle seat next to me was empty. The lady seated near the window was trying to sleep. I gave up my seat so that she could sleep comfortably. I took the seat in the first row of the section where there was plenty of leg room and no other passenger seated next to me. Kindness paid me back.
On the plane, a little girl dropped a colour pen. I picked it up and gave it to her. Later on, while she was sleeping, she dropped her pillow (枕头) several times, and I put it near her. I try to be of use to those around me, even though I am a bit disabled myself and sometimes even need others’ help.

There’s no doubt that football is the global sport. Though basketball, tennis, and other sports are popular too, nothing comes close to football. Being played in every country in the world, football provides dozens of superstars. The numbers are greater when compared to any other sport, and this drives the popularity of football up. Have you ever wondered when the sport started and became popular?
Football has its origin (起源) in China and has a history of more than 2,000 years. However, modern football originally appeared in Britain in the 19th century. Folk football matches had been played before in many cities and towns, but never on a professional level.
Football became a winter sport game played in different schools. The rules were carried out by each school, and this made it difficult for players to play an official game with each other. It all changed in 1849 at the University of Cambridge that invented a set of standard rules known as the Cambridge rules of football. From that moment, a new star sport was born.
By the early 20th century, football had spread all across Europe. In 1904, FIFA was set up. There are seven original members, including France, Denmark and Spain. FIFA became the governing body for many associations in Europe.
England’s international success improved the popularity of the sport in the country. The league (联赛) in Britain was set up in 1992. From the 1990s, it became a truly impressive piece of football organization, becoming the world’s top football league in the process.
Football is obviously the most popular sport in the world. It is impossible for any other sport to take its place, especially with leagues spending billions of pounds every year to stay in the focus.
8. What is the author’s purpose of writing paragraph 1?
A. To describe the unpopularity of football. B. To introduce the topic of the text.
C. To debate the main idea of the text. D. To introduce famous football leagues.
9. Where did modern football first start?
A. In China. B. In France. C. In Britain. D. In Spain.
10. Why was it difficult to play an official game before 1849?
A. The rules always changed. B. There were no common rules.
C. The season made players hard to win. D. Officials made players misunderstand the rules.
11. How is the text mainly developed?
A. By time order. B. By space order. C. By listing numbers. D. By giving examples.
D
Although social media can be enjoyable and beneficial, online relationships simply cannot replace real life connection. But simply being in the flesh with someone does not make a lasting, meaningful relationship, which got me thinking: what, exactly, does? My search to answer this question took me back more than 2,000 years to Aristotle’s Nichomachean Ethics. What I found couldn’t be more insightful, and it rings just as true today as it must have then.
Aristotle writes that there are three different kinds of friendship:
FRIENDSHIPS BASED ON UTILITY, in which one or both of the parties gain something as a result of the friendship (think: much of the modern “networking” enterprise, or becoming friends with someone because you think they can help you).
FRIENDSHIPS BASED ON PLEASURE, or those centered around pleasant experiences (think: people with whom you can have a good, carefree time).
FRIENDSHIPS BASED ON VIRTUE, in which both individuals share the same values (think: people whom you admire and respect, and with whom you share what you find most important in life).
It’s fascinating that, centuries ago, Aristotle offered that many individual often pursue friendships primarily for utility. And it’s easy to see that some things never change.
Likewise, he wrote, “Those who love because of what is good for themselves, and those who love because of pleasure do so because of what is pleasant to themselves. Yet what one finds useful or pleasurable, is not permanent but is always changing; thus, when the reason for the friendship is done away, the friendship is dissolved.”
It’s OK to have some friendships mainly for utility and pleasure, but it’s important to realize that these fill a different purpose and are likely to have a shorter lifespan than one built upon shared virtue. And it is the friendships based on virtue that are worth protecting and cherishing. But they require considerable energy to maintain -- as Aristotle wrote, “lack of conversation has broken many a friendship”—but what you get out of these friendships easily outweighs what you put in.
12. What is the author’s attitude towards Aristotle’s grouping of friendship?
A. Supportive. B. Opposed. C. Doubtful. D. Unclear.
13. How does the author illustrate Aristotle’s three kinds of friendship?
A. By giving examples. B. By offering instructions.
C. By making comparisons. D. By drawing conclusions.
14. Why can’t friendship based on utility and pleasure last long?
A. Because there are always other friends around.
B. Because people only consider their own benefits.
C. Because people’s pursuit is not always the same.
D. Because different people make friends for different reasons.
15. According to Aristotle, how can one keep a longer friendship?
A. Spend face-to-face time with your friends.
B. Keep talking to the ones with shared values.
C Value the advantages you get out of a friend.
D Create a pleasant atmosphere for a conversation.

Your homework habits might be affecting your grades. 1 However, you can change the way you feel by taking better care of your mind and your body.
Use a planner.
Do you know that poor organization skills can reduce your final scores by a whole letter grade? 2 Who can afford to score a big fat “0” on a paper, just because we get lazy and don’t pay attention to the due date? Nobody wants to get an “F” because of forgetfulness.
Communicate with parents.
It sounds simple enough, but students don’t always realize how much parents can stress out about this. 3 Whenever parents see a small sign of potential failure, they may be afraid of its potential to become a big failure.

It’s OK to have some friendships mainly for utility and pleasure, but it’s important to realize that these fill a different purpose and are likely to have a shorter lifespan than one built upon shared virtue. And it is the friendships based on virtue that are worth protecting and cherishing. But they require considerable energy to maintain -- as Aristotle wrote, “lack of conversation has broken many a friendship”—but what you get out of these friendships easily outweighs what you put in.
12. What is the author’s attitude towards Aristotle’s grouping of friendship?
A. Supportive. B. Opposed. C. Doubtful. D. Unclear.
13. How does the author illustrate Aristotle’s three kinds of friendship?
A. By giving examples. B. By offering instructions.
C. By making comparisons. D. By drawing conclusions.
14. Why can’t friendship based on utility and pleasure last long?
A. Because there are always other friends around.
B. Because people only consider their own benefits.
C. Because people’s pursuit is not always the same.
D. Because different people make friends for different reasons.
15. According to Aristotle, how can one keep a longer friendship?
A. Spend face-to-face time with your friends.
B. Keep talking to the ones with shared values.
C Value the advantages you get out of a friend.
D Create a pleasant atmosphere for a conversation.
【本文大意】本文是一篇说明文。作者主要分析了基于不同利益的友谊,认为只有建立在美德的友谊才值得保护和珍惜。
12.【答案】A
【解析】推理判断题。根据第一段中的“What I found couldn’t be more insightful, and it rings just as true today as it must have then.(我的发现非常有见地,在今天听起来和当时一样正确。)”可知,作者认为亚里士多德对友谊的见地今天听起来和当时一样的正确,结合倒数第三段中的“It’s fascinating that, centuries ago, Aristotle offered that many individual often pursue friendships primarily for utility. And it’s easy to see that some things never change.(有趣的是,几个世纪前,亚里士多德提出许多人追求友谊主要是为了功利。很容易看出,有些事情永远不会改变。)”可知,亚里士多德提出的友谊的目的主要是为了功利,作者认为这是永远不会改变的,由此可以推断,作者多亚里士多德对友谊的看法是支持的态度。故选A项。
13.【答案】A
【解析】推理判断题。根据第二段中的“Aristotle writes that there are three different kinds of friendship(亚里士多德写道,有三种不同的友谊)”以及下文中的“FRIENDSHIPS BASED ON UTILITY(基于效用的友谊)”、“FRIENDSHIPS BASED ON PLEASURE(基于快乐的友谊)”以及“FRIENDSHIPS BASED ON VIRTUE(基于美德的友谊)”可知,作者列举了亚里士多德的三种不同的友谊并进行简单的分析,由此可推断,作者是通过举例子来阐述亚里士多德的三种友谊。故选A项。
14.【答案】C
【解析】细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中的Likewise, he wrote, “Those who love because of what is good for themselves, and those who love because of pleasure do so because of what is pleasant to themselves. Yet what one finds useful or pleasurable, is not permanent but is always changing; thus, when the reason for the friendship is done away, the friendship is dissolved.”(同样地,他写道:“爱的人是为了自己的好处,爱的人是为了自己的快乐。然而,人们觉得有用或愉快的东西,不是永久的,而是一直在变化的;因此,当友谊的原因消失了,友谊也就消失了。”)可知,基于利益和快乐的友谊不是永恒的而是多变的,所以,利益和快乐消失的时候,友谊也就消失了。故选C项。
15.【答案】B
【解析】推理判断题。根据尾段中的And it is the friendships based on virtue that are worth protecting and cherishing. But they require considerable energy to maintain—as Aristotle wrote, “lack of conversation has broken many a friendship”—but what you get out of these friendships easily outweighs what you put in.(而建立在美德基础上的友谊才是值得保护和珍惜的。但它们需要相当大的精力来维持——正如亚里士多德所写的那样,“缺乏交谈已经毁掉了许多友谊”——但你从这些友谊中获得的东西很容易就超过了你投入的东西。)可知,认为只有基于美德的友谊值得珍惜和拥有,缺乏交流破坏了友谊,所以,要想保持长久的友谊,需要的是与有共同价值观的人进行交流。故选B项。

【解析】根据汉语意思可知,句子的主语为“美好的音乐”,“伟大的音乐家创作的”为定语修饰音乐。表示“美好的”用beautiful,“音乐”为music;“创作”create为动词;此处与逻辑主语之间为动宾关系,所以需要使用过去分词,“由……创作”用介词by;“音乐家”为musician,此处应该使用复数;所以句子的主语为The beautiful music created by great musicians。表示“能够,可以”用情态动词can,“使……平静”用calm,“内心”为heart,所以“可以让一个人内心平静”翻译为can a person’s heart。“使得……做某事”为make it + adj. + to do sth.,it为形式宾语,动词不定式为真正宾语,“更容易的”为easier,“度过”为get through;“困难的”为difficult,“时期”为period,所以“从而更容易度过艰难时期”翻译为make it easier to get through a difficult period。故答案为Believe it or not, the beautiful music created by great musicians can calm a person’s heart and make it easier to get through a difficult period.
