        　　46、回答46-56题：
        　　The Art of Friendship
        　　A) One evening a few years ago I found myself in an anxiety. Nothing was
really wrong -- my fam-ily and I were healthy, my career was busy and successful
-- I was just feeling vaguely down andin need of a friend who could raise my
spirits, someone who would meet me for coffee and let merant until the clouds
lifted. I dialed my best friend, who now lives across the country in
California,and got her voicemail. That's when it started to dawn on me --
lonesomeness was at the root of mydreariness. My social life had dwindled to
almost nothing, but somehow until that moment I'd beentoo busy to notice. Now it
hit me hard. My old friends, buddies since college or even childhood,knew
everything about me; when they left, they had taken my context with them.
        　　B) Research has shown the long-range negative consequences of social
isolation on one's health. Butmy concerns were more short-term. I needed to feel
understood right then in the way that only a girlfriend can understand you. I
knew it would be wrong to expect my husband to replace my friends:He couldn't,
and even if he could, to whom would I then complain about my husband? So I
resolvedto acquire new friends -- women like me who had kids and enjoyed rolling
their eyes at the worlda little bit just as I did. Since I'd be making friends
with more intention than I'd ever given the pro-cess, I realized I could be
selective, that I could in effect design my own social life. The downside,of
course, was that I felt pretty frightened.
        　　C) After all, it's a whole lot harder to make friends in midlife that it is
when yon're younger -- a fact woman I've spoken with point out again and again.
As Leslie Danzig, 41, a Chicago theater directorand mother, sees it, when you're
in your teens and 20s, you're more or less friends with everyoneunless there's a
reason not to be. Your college roommate becomes your best pal at least partly
dueto proximity. Now there needs to be a reason to be friends. "There are many
people I'm comfort-able around, but I wouldn't go so far as to call them
friends. Comfort isn't enough to sustain a realfriendship," Danzig says.
        　　D) At first, finding new companions felt awkward. At 40 I couldn't run up
to people the way my4-year-old daughters do in the playground and ask, "Will you
be my friend? Every time you start anew relationship, you're vulnerable again,"
agrees Kathleen Hall, D Min, founder and CEO of theStress Institute, in Atlanta.
"You're asking, 'Would you like to come into my life?' It makes us
self-conscious."
        　　E) Fortunately, my discomfort soon passed. I realized that as a mature
friend seeker my vulnerabilityrisk was actually pretty low. If someone didn't
take me up on my offer, so what: I wasn't in ju-nior high, when I might have
been rejected for having the wrong clothes or hair. At my age I haveamassed
enough self-esteem to realize that I have plenty to offer.
        　　F) We're all so busy, in fact, that mutual interests -- say, in a project,
class, or cause that we alreadymake time for -- become the perfect catalysts for
bringing us in contact with candidates for camara-derie. Michelle Mertes, 35, a
teacher and mother of two in Wausau, Wisconsin, says anew friend shemade at
church came as a pleasant surprise. "In high school I chose friends based on
their popular-ity and how being part of their circle might reflect on me. Now's
it's our shared values and activitiesthat count." Mertes says her pal, with whom
she organized the church's youth programs, is nothinglike her but their drive
and organizational skills make them ideal fiiends.
        　　G) Happily, as awkward as making new friends can be, self-esteem issues do
not factor in -- or if theydo, you can easily put them into perspective. Danzig
tells of the mother of a child in her son's pre-school, a tall, beautiful woman
who is married to a big-deal rock musician. "I said to my husband,'she's too
cool for me,'" she jokes. "I get intimidated by people. But once I got to know
her, sheturned out to be pretty laid-back and friendly." In the end there was no
chemistry between them, sothey didn't become good pals. "I realized that we
weren't each other's type, but it wasn't about hi-erarchy." What midlife
friendship is about, it seems, is reflecting the person you've become (or
arestill becoming) back at yourself, thus reinforcing the progress you've made
in your life.
        　　H) Harlene Katzman, 41, a lawyer in New York City, notes that her oldest
friends knew her back whenshe was less sure of herself. As much as she loves
them, she believes they sometimes respond to is-sues in light of who she once
was. An old chum has the goods on you. With recently made friends,you can turn
over a new leaf.
        　　I) A new friend, chosen right, can also help you point your boat in the
direction you want to go. HannaDershowitz, 39, an attorney and mother in Los
Angeles, found that a new acquaintance from workwas exactly what she needed in a
friend. In addition to liking and respecting Julia, Dershowitz had afeeling that
the fit and athletic younger woman would help her to get in shape.
        　　J) While you're busy making new friends, remember that you still need to
nurture your old ones. Weasked Marla Paul, author of The Friendship Crisis:
Finding, Making, and Keeping Friends WhenYou "re Not a Kid Anymore, for the best
ways to maintain these important relationships. Keep in touch. Your friends
should be a priority; schedule regular lunch dates or coffee catch-up sessions,
nomatter how busy you are. Know her business. Keep track of important events in
a friend's life andshow your support. Call or e-mail to let her know you're
thinking of her. Speak your mind. Tell afriend (politely) if something she did
really upset you. If you can't be totally honest, then you needto reexamine the
relationship. Accept her flaws. No one is perfect, so work around her quirks
--she's chronically late, or she's a bit negative -- to cut down on frustration
and fights. Boost her ego.Heartfelt compliments make everyone feel great, so
tell her how nuch you love her new sweater orwhat a great job she did on a work
project.

        　　Leslie Danzig thought making friends at one's middle age needed some
reasons.
        　　47、 A well-chosen new friend can help you go in the direction that you
like.
        　　48、 A few years ago the author felt lonely and depressed when she phoned
her best friend in another city who was much wanted then but unavailable.
        　　49、 According to Kathleen Hall, one might feel sensitive in the first
c,,urse of making new friends.
        　　50、 Midlife friendship can help you realize your direction of life and
reinforce the progress you've made in your life.
        　　51、 In Mafia Paul's book, to be a better friend, you should keep track with
your fiiends, care for yourfriend's job, express yourself, accept her flaws and
compliment your friend for her/his good dressingand job.
        　　52、 For the author, a girl friend might be the right person to unde "stand
her and erase her negative feeling.
        　　53、 According to Michelle Mertes, midlife friendship is based on the shared
values and activities
        　　54、 As a mature friend seeker, the author finds herself with enough
confidence to offer and take rejection with grace.
        　　55、 With newly made friends, you can have a chance to take on a new look in
your life.
        　　Section C
        　　56、 Questions 56-61 are based on the following passage.
        　　Because of satellite links which now enable broadcast news organizations to
originate liveprogramming from any part of the globe, the entire world is
becoming one giant sound stage fortelevision news. As a result, Shakespeare's
famous line, "all the worh is a stage," has taken on aninteresting new twist in
meaning.
        　　Even before today's worldwide satellite links were possible, the growing
effect of broadcast news
        　　technology on national and international politics was becoming increasingly
evident.
        　　Because television is a close-up medium and a medium that seerns to most
readily involve
        　　emotions, it is most effective when it is revealing the plights of people;
During the Vietnam War, readingabout war was one thing, but war took on a deeper
and more unsavor' ( 令人讨厌的) dimension when 　　it was exported directly into U. S.
living rooms night after night by television. Public opinion eventuallyturned
against the war and to some measure against President Johnson who was associated
with it. As
        　　a result of the public opinion backlash (消极反应) during these tines, the
Pentagon was thereaftermuch more careful to control what foreign correspondents
and TV crews would be allowed to see andreport.
        　　It was during this time that President Carter brought the issue of human
rights to the centre of hisforeign policy, and, to some degree, to the centre of
international pol tics. "Human rights is the soul ofour foreign policy," Carter
said. "Of all human rights the most basic s to be free of arbitrary
violence,whether that violence comes from government, from terrorists, from
criminals, or fi'om self-appointedmessiahs (救世主) operating under the cover of
politics or religion. "
        　　Although political viewpoints have changed since then, because of the
emotional nature of humanrights, this has emerged as the "soul" of television
news. The transgression (侵犯) of human rightshas been the focus of many, if not
most, major international television news stories. The reporting ofthese stories
has created outrage in the world, prompted attempts at censorship by dictators,
and in many
        　　cases resulted in the elimination of human rights abuses.
        　　The passage mainly discusses____________.
        　　A.the evolution of international politics in the United States
        　　B.the broadcast media gives its primary concern on human rights
        　　C.the global television communication has a huge impact on pet,pie's
emotions
        　　D.the broadcast media plays a growing role in international poli ics
        　　57、 According to the passage, people were against the Vietnam War may be as
a result of____________.
        　　A.the influence of news broadcast on people's emotions
        　　B.the anger from the audiences of all nations
        　　C.the extensive coverage of the War
        　　D.the viewing of American army's cruel behaviors on TV
        　　58、 What did the Pentagon do when faced with the public opinion backlash on
the Vietnam War?
        　　A.They thereafter tried to control the news coverage.
        　　B.They punished the correspondents and TV crews.
        　　C.They put a ban on the discussion of the War.
        　　D.They did nothing about it.
        　　59、 What was a possible result when President Carter brought the issue of
human rights to the centre of his foreign policy?
        　　A.The Pentagon failed to control the report of the media.
        　　B.People turned their attention to the transgression of human rights.
        　　C.All censorship of broadcast news was eliminated.
        　　D.The Vietnam War was ended.
        　　60、 Which of the following has NOT been mentioned as a result of the
television focus on the issue of human rights?
        　　A.Anger aroused on the transgression of human rights.
        　　B.Better understanding and appreciation of different cultures.
        　　C.Prompted attempts at censorship by dictators.
        　　D.The elimination of human rights abuses.
        　　61、 Questions {TSE} are based on the following passage.
        　　You never see them, but they're with you every time you fly. They record
where you are going,
        　　how fast you're traveling and whether everything on your airplane is
functioning normally. Their abilityto withstand almost any disaster makes them
seem like something out of a comic book. They're knownas the black box.
        　　When planes fall from the sky, as a Yemeni airliner did on its way to
Comoros Islands in the Indiaocean June 30, 2009, the black box is the best bet
for identifying what went wrong. So when a Frenchsubmarine (潜水艇) detected the
device's homing signal five day; later, the discovery marked a huge
        　　step toward determining the cause of a tragedy in which 152 passengers were
killed.
        　　In 1958, Australian scientist David Warren developed a flight-memory
recorder that would trackbasic information like altitude and direction. That was
the first mode for a black box, which becamea requirement on all U.S. commercial
flights by 1960. Early model,, often failed to withstand crashes,
        　　however, so in 1965 the device was completely redesigned and moved to the
rear of the plane - the arealeast subject to impact - from its original position
in the landing wells (起落架舱). The same year, 　theFederal Aviation Authority
required that the boxes, which were never actually black, be painted orangeor
yellow to aid visibility.
        　　Modem airplanes have two black boxes: a voice recorder, which tracks
pilots' conversations,
        　　and a flight-data recorder, which monitors fuel levels, engine nois,~s and
other operating functions thathelp investigators reconstruct the aircraft's
final moments. Placed in an insulated ( 隔绝的) case 　　andsurrounded by a
quarter-inch-thick panels of stainless steel, the boxes can withstand massive
force andtemperatures up to 2,000~F. When submerged, they're also able to emit
signals from depths of 20,000 ft.
        　　Experts believe the boxes from Air France Flight 447, which crasned near
Brazil on June l, 2009, are inwater nearly that deep, but statistics say they're
still likely to turn up.In the approximately 20 deep-seacrashes over the past 30
years, only one plane's black boxes were never recovered.
        　　What does the author say about the black box?
        　　A.It ensures the normal functioning of an airplane.
        　　B.The idea for its design comes from a comic book.
        　　C.Its ability to ward off disasters is incredible.
        　　D.It is an indispensable device on an airplane.
        　　62、 What information could be found from the black box on the Yemeni
airliner?
        　　A.Data for analyzing the cause of the crash.
        　　B.The total number of passengers on board.
        　　C.The scene of the crash and extent of the damage.
        　　D.Homing signals sent by the pilot before the crash.
        　　63、 Why was the black box redesigned in 1965?
        　　A.New materials became available by that time.
        　　B.Too much space was needed for its installation.
        　　C.The early models often got damaged in the crash.
        　　D.The early models didn't provide the needed data.
        　　64、 Why did the Federal Aviation Authority require the black boxes be
painted orange or yellow?
        　　A.To distinguish them from the colour of the plane.
        　　B.To caution people to handle them with care.
        　　C.To make them easily identifiable.
        　　D.To conform to international standards.
        　　65、 What do we know about the black boxes from Air France Fligh 447?
        　　A.There is still a good chance of their being recovered.
        　　B.There is an urgent need for them to be reconstructed.
        　　C.They have stopped sending homing signals.
        　　D.They were destroyed somewhere near Brazil.
