From the text we may learn that Kamura is _.A. an instructor B. a waitress C. a cook D. an artistBIf you are planning on travelling, there are a few simple rules about how to make life easier both before and after your journey.First of all, always check and double-check departure(出发) time. It is surprising how few people really do this carefully. Once I arrived at the airport a few minutes after ten. My secretary had got the ticket for me and I thought she had said that the plane left at 10:50. When I arrived at the airport, the person at the departure desk told me that my flight was closed. Therefore, I had to wait three hours for the next one and missed an important meeting.The second rule is to remember that even in this age of credit cards (信用卡), it is still important to have some local money in cash (现金). Once I arrived at a place at midnight and the bank at the airport was closed. The only way to get to my hotel was by taxi but because I had no dollars, I offered to pay in pounds instead. “Listen! I only take real money!” the driver said angrily. You can imagine how terrible I felt at that moment.The third and the last rule is to find out as much as you can about the weather at your destination before you leave. I feel sorry for some of my workmates who travel in heavy suits and raincoats in May, when it is still fairly cool in London or Manchester, to places like Athens, Rome or Madrid, where it is already beginning to get quite warm during the day.24. Where is the writer most probably from?A. Britain.B. The USA.C. Italy.D. Greece.25. When the writer found he had no dollars to pay the taxi driver, he _.A. asked the driver to give him a free rideB. offered to pay in poundsC. gave the driver some fake (假的) moneyD. tried to pay by credit card26. Generally, in May the weather in London is _.A. warm and dry B. cold and dryC. hot and wet D. cool and rainy27. The writer mainly tells us _.A. how to make life easierB. how to be well prepared for a tripC. how to enjoy ourselves on the tripD. how to schedule our tripCSweetest Day is celebrated on the third Saturday in October as a day to make someone happy. It is an occasion which offers all of us an opportunity to remember not only the sick, the aged, and children who have lost their parents, but also friends, workmates, relatives and neighbors whose helpfulness and kindness we have enjoyed.Over 60 years ago, when a Cleveland man noticed that some people, such as children who lost their parents and patients who lay in bed, too often felt forgotten and neglected, he developed in his mind the idea of showing them that they were remembered. He did this by giving them small gifts. With the help of his friends and neighbors, he gave those people small gifts on a Saturday in October. During the years that followed, other Clevelanders began to take part in the celebration, which came to be called “Sweetest Day”. Over time, the Sweetest Day idea of spreading cheer to the poor, the sick and children who had lost their parents was broadened to include everyone, and became an occasion for remembering others with a kind act or a small gift. Soon the idea spread to other cities all over the USA.Sweetest Day is not based on any single groups religious beliefs or on a family relationship. It is a reminder that a thoughtful word or deed enriches life and gives it meaning.Because for many people remembering takes the form of gift giving, Sweetest Day offers us the opportunity to show others that we care, in a positive way.28. What can we learn from the first paragraph?A. Sweetest Day is a day to make others happy.B. Sweetest Day is just an occasion to care about disabled people.C. Sweetest Day is an occasion for lovers to express love.D. Sweetest Day is celebrated on the third Sunday in October.29. What is Cleveland?A. An island. B. A country. C. A village in England. D. A city in America.30. What do most people usually do to show their care to others according to the passage?A. They give money.B. They give gifts.C. They send regards.D. They offer help.31. The underlined word “neglected” in the second paragraph means “ ”.A. remembered B. hated C. paid little or no attention to D. disappointedDToday almost everyone knows puters and the Internet. If I ask you what the most important in your life is, maybe you will say “puters and the Internet”. The first puter was made in 1946. It was very big but it worked very slowly. Today puters are getting smaller and smaller. But they work faster and faster. What can puters do? A writer has said, “People cant live without puters today”. The Internet came a little later than puters. It is about twentyfive years later than puters. But now it can be found almost everywhere. We can use it to read books, write letters, go shopping, play games or make friends. Many students like the Internet very much. They often go into the Internet as soon as they are free. They make friends on the Internet and maybe they have never seen these friends. They dont know their real names, ages, and even sex. They are so interested in making “unreal friends” that they cant put their heart into study. Many of them cant catch up with others on many subjects because of that.We can use puters and the Internet to learn more about the world. But at the same time, we should remember that not all the things can be done by puters and the Internet.32. When the puter was invented, it was .A. large and worked quickly B. small and worked slowlyC. large but worked slowly D. small but worked quickly33. The Internet was born in about .A. 1960 B. 1971 C. 1980 D. 198534. Which of the following is TRUE?A. Few students like going into the Internet.B. Students use the Internet to make “unreal friends”. C. These “unreal friends” always meet each other.D. Students know the friends on the Internet very well.35. What does the writer think of the Internet?A. It is wonderful.B. It can make students study harder.C. It is not good for students.D. It is helpful, but we cant do everything on it.第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Being a good friend isnt always easy, but taking the time to develop a lasting friendship is worth the effort.
