We all like to feel close to someone. It is nice to have a friend to talk, laugh and do things with. Surely, there are times when we need to be alone. We dont always want people around. But we would feel lonely if we never had a friend.No two people are the same. Sometimes friends dont get along well, which doesnt mean that they no longer like each other. Most of the time they will go on being friends. Sometimes friends move away, then we feel very sad. We miss them much, but we can call them and write to them. Maybe we would never see them again, and we can make new friends. It is surprising to find out how much we like new people when we get to know them. Families sometimes name their children after a close friend. Many places are named after men and women, if they are friendly to people in a town. Some libraries are named this way. So are some schools. We think of these people when we go to these places.Theres more good news for people, if they have friends. These people live longer than those people if those dont have friends.

The best way of learning English is talking in English as much as possible. Sometimes youll get your words mixed up (混合) and people will not understand you. Sometimes people will say things too quickly and you cant understand them. But if you keep your sense of humor, you can always have a good laugh at the mistakes you make.

It is made up of “motor” and “hotel” and it is really a hotel for people who arrive by car (how-ever, you dont need a car to stay at one). You have to pay when you arrive for your room, which usually has a bath. Meals are not provided, but there will certainly be a cafeteria (自助餐馆). Americans eat a lot of salads and sandwiches. Along the main roads there are a lot of motels. Each tries to offer more than next. Some provide television in every bedroom; others have swimming pools; and so on. Motels are especially useful when you are in the country, far from a town or city. You will also find them in the big National Parks. In these great National Parks, you may meet guests you dont expect to see. An American friend told me a little story. In the middle of a moonless night she heard strange noises outside her motel window in the Yellowstone National Park in Wyoming. Thinking it might be a thief, she jumped out of bed, opened the door and crept towards a dark shadow. As she got close, she saw the thief. She was dreadfully frightened: it wasnt a human thief it was a big black bear. The bear was turning over some empty tins with its paw, looking for tasty bits of food. My friend decided to leave that particular thief alone! There are also, of course, places called “rooming houses”, where they receive lodgers (房客). You will see such signs as Tourists or Rooms Rent, and you could try one of these. A word of warning looking for a room in New York during the tourist season is like looking for gold on the moon!31. Which of the following is TRUE about motels? A. You can only find motels in the big National Parks. B. They are free for people who arrive by car. C. If you want to stay at a motel, you must have a car. D. The word “motel” is formed by two words.32. Which of the following is NOT provided by motels? A. Baths. B. Swimming pools. C. TV. D. Meals. 33.

A. an interesting story B. the experience of the authors friend C. we may meet animals in the National Parks D. bears usually look for food at night35. From the last paragraph, we can learn that in New York during the tourist season _. A. tourists can find gold there B. tourists can have a sweet dream there C. it is difficult to find a room there D. there is warning for tourists to New YorkD An earthquake happens when two plates rub (碰撞) together. The earth plates travel in different directions and at different speeds. If one plate is slowly forced underneath the other, pressure builds up until the plates break apart. This process causes the ground to move. It is an earthquake. In other words, earth-quakes are the shaking of the earths surface caused by the earths rocky outer layer as a result of the energy stored within the earth. The strain within the rocks is suddenly released (释放). The damage an earthquake causes depends on where it is and the time it is happening. If an unpopulated region is struck, there will be low loss of life or property. If it hits a large city, there may be many in-juries and much destruction. Many of the areas at risk are largely populated now. Major earthquakes hitting those areas today could produce terrible damage. Actually, there are several million small earth-quakes every year. Large earthquakes such as the 1964 Alaskan quake that measured 9.2 on the Richter scale, cause millions of dollars in damage. In the last 500 years, millions of people have been killed by earth-quakes around the world including 240,000 in the 1976 Tangshan earthquake in China.A 60-second or less earthquake can cause devastation that continues for years after the first tremor (小震). In 1972, a series of severe earthquakes struck Managua, Nicaragua. Fifteen years later, the city still looked the way it had a week after the earthquake hit, because the country did not have the necessary money to rebuild it.The shaking of the earth is sometimes not the greatest disaster. It is in the ensuing fires and floods that often the greatest damage occurs. In the 1906 earthquake, it was the fires caused after it that did the majority of the damage. An earthquake can also destroy dams high above a city or valleys, causing floods to sweep down and sweep away everything in their path. 36. Which of the following is the main idea of the first paragraph? A. An earthquake es from inside the earth. B. The earth has great energy in storage. C. How the earth plates move. D. How an earthquake happens.37. How many examples are used in the passage to show the damage and destruction earthquakes cause? A. Three. B. Four. C. Five. D. Six.38. Which of the following is mentioned to show that an earthquake can kill too many people? A. The 1964 Alaskan quake. B. The 1976 Tangshan earthquake. C. The 1972 Managua earthquake. D. The 1906 earthquake.39. The underlined word “ensuing” in the last paragraph probably means _. A. causing too much heat and great damage B. causing many injuries and much destruction C. happening as a result of another event D. happening suddenly and unexpectedly40. By giving the example in Paragraph 4, the author wants to show that _. A. an earthquake doesnt last long B. the damage can last long C. people in Managua suffered too much D. Nicaragua is still a poor country 第三部分：语法填空(共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分)Last Friday a storm swept through two villages in the New Territories, _ 41_(destroy) fourteen homes.
