阅读理解。     Boys need friends, suffer when they don’t believe they have any, and worry over the ups and
downs of relationships. Many adults believe that somehow boys need friends less than girls do, in
truth, though, no boy is an island: boys value their friends throughout childhood and adolescence
and are happier and healthier when they have solid relationships with peers.
     Despite the common belief that girls are better at relationships, most boys consider their friends
a very important part of their lives, and boys may actually be better at keeping friendships than
girls are. A recent study of 10-to-15-year-old boys and girls found that girls’ friendships are
actually more fragile（脆弱的）. Girls tend to say and do hurtful things to each other more
frequently than boys, and girls are more hurt by the end of a friendship.
     Boys are the living definition of the phrase “peer group”: they love games with rules, competition,
and doing things together. Boys seem to enjoy, even need the opportunity to test themselves
against others, and many lasting friendships begin in karate(空手道) class or on the basketball
court. Competence and skill are widely respected: being picked last for a team or left out altogether
is an experience that can haunt (萦绕心头) a boy for years.
     As boys mature, the friendship becomes even more important, and it frequently widens to include
girls. During the teen years, friends can become the most important part of a boy’s life ---and a
part in which his parents are not included. The confusion of being a teenager leads boys to form
close bonds with friends. There is the sense for many boys that a friend is someone who is “always
there for me”, someone he can trust. They may be partners in crime or partners in study, but the
friendship of adolescent boys can run surprisingly deep.1．The common belief of adults is that boys ______.   A. don’t care about others as much as girls
B. don’t value friendships as much as girls
C. have the same friendship as girls
D. have healthier friendship than girls  2．According to the passage, ______.   A. boys usually build friendships by playing competitive games
B. boys like to have small groups of friends
C. boys’ friendships seldom result in anyone being hurt
D. boys’ friendships can hardly end in failure  3．The author mentions the study in Para. 2 to prove _______.    A. girls value relationships more than boys
B. most boys consider their friends very important
C. boys may be better at keeping friendships than girls
D. boys may be more active in a friendship    4．As a boy gets older, he tends to _______.

A. widen his circle of friends to include his parents
B. shift his focus from his friends to himself
C. leave his parents out of his friends
D. be confused about what a friendship is

5．What’s the best title of the passage? _______A. Friendships Between Boys and Girls
B. Boys and Their Friendship
C. Childhood and Adolescent Friendship
D. Tips on Making Friends with Boys

阅读理解。     Suppose you don’t need your car today. And suppose, as it happens, that a stranger in your
area does need a car. Would you be willing to rent yours out?
     Several car-sharing start-ups, including Getaround, RelayRides and JustShareIt, are eager to
connect car owners with renters this way. The companies have different rules, but participatingo
wners receive, generally speaking, about two-thirds of the rental earnings. RelayRides says an
owner of a midsize, late-model sedan who rents out a car for 10 hours a week could expect to
clear about ＄3,000 a year.
     Peer-to-peer car sharing remains in the trial stage; it can be found in San Francisco and a few
other places. It has a long way to go before it becomes the auto equivalent of Airbnb, the surprise
success story for peer-to-peer sharing of space in apartments and houses.
     Shelby Clark, founder of RelayRides, says potential investors in his company have been
concerned that owners will be afraid to hand their car over to strangers. To address that, he points
to Airbnb, saying, “Letting people sleep in your living room is much more of a disturbance into
your personal space than letting someone use your car.”
     All of these companies offer their own insurance coverage for their renters, which are supposed
to put owners’ minds at ease. But only two states-California and Oregon-have passed laws to
clarify that an owner will not suffer any consequences should a car-sharing renter have an accident.
     “In all the other states, legal ambiguity remains,” Shelby Clark says. “If a renter should be
involved in a serious accident in those states, the victim can be expected to go after every party
possible, including the car’s owner.”
     Also to remove the worries of car owners, the driving records of renters are checked for recent
serious violations. 1. What does the underlined word “sedan” in Paragraph 2 probably refer to?______

A. A kind of car.
B. An owner of a car.
C. A renting company.
D. A car-sharing renter

2. Which of the following is true of Airbnb? ______A. It cares little about personal privacy.
B. It deals with house-sharing successfully.
C. It is a very popular car-sharing company.
D. Its ideas are being tried out in some states.   3. If a car-sharing renter should have an accident in California, the car’s owner   ___    . A. has to take legal responsibility
B. will not suffer the consequence
C. is not covered by health insurance
D. must pay the insurance for the renter 4. According to the text, more car-owners will participate in the service, if       _    A. legal ambiguity is clarified in all the states
B. renters are warned not to violate traffic rules
C. more money is given to participating owners
D. people are aware of the importance of sharing 5. It can be learned from the text that car-sharing         A. makes no profit
B. remains in popularity
C. is against the state law
D. is a new business model

［1］Peer tutoring benefits many students in several ways. Peer tutors can help themselves in
understanding materials. They have to master the material themselves and come to a deeper
understanding to teach others rather than getting taught by a teacher.
［2］Peer tutors get communication and social skills by tutoring. In order to communicate the meaning
of material clearly and make it understood, they must practice the necessary skills to communicate with
other people. These skills also carry over socially as it"s much easier, especially for shy children to
communicate with someone than to communicate with a large group as in a classroom. It"s common for
the tutor and his student to become friends. Developing leadership skills, confidence and a sense of
responsibility is easy for a tutor. The tutor becomes a better student, gains more confidence and
understands the teacher"s role better.
［3］Those ___________ can also benefit greatly from peer tutoring. Since the tutors are of the same
age as the students, it"s more comfortable for the children who have trouble with the material and in need
of help to get taught by the same age tutors. This will allow them to ask more questions without fear and
to come to a better understanding of the material. The tutor may be able to pass on little tips and tricks
that helped him understand the material better.
［4］The process of peer tutoring works for all the related people. It"s easy to relate to someone of the
same age. The tutor learns to improve skills useful later in life. The teacher has more time to concentrate
on students. It"s a winning situation for everyone.

阅读下面的短文,并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入最恰当的单词。
注意:每空一词。

     In the United States, engineering is a profession(职业) that has been historically under the control of
men. Even today, it"s still true that few women become civil or chemical or mechanical engineers, but that"s
something on www.EngineerGirl.org encouraging girls to change the present situation. Young women who
visit the web site can find out about a great job choice they might not have considered.
     "Women are not well represented in engineering and in engineering education programs and then of
course, down the road, in the engineering workforce. So only about 20 percent of engineering
undergraduate degrees (本科文凭) go to women, and then only about nine percent of working engineers
are women."
     Mary Mattis, the National Academy of Engineering, says "we know from the research that
middle-school girls are at a critical point in their lives, and that it"s a time when we need to reach them, so
this website aims to increase their awareness of interesting fields in engineering. On the other hand, it wants
to make them understand what a wonderful productive and exciting job you can have as an engineer."
     Engineering is a demanding course of study-there is a lot of science and math, for many girls and even
boys that can be challenging. But Ms. Mattis says that the EngineerGirl website stresses that engineering
can also be fun and exciting.
     "It"s about designing things. It"s about changing the world for people. It"s about making a difference.
And, in addition, you can make a good living; you can be independent economically by becoming an
engineer. All of those things are messages that girls need to get."
     While most engineers go into traditional fields such as mechanical and electrical engineering, the
EngineerGirl site also emphasizes engineering jobs which are related to other fields such as bio-engineering,
sports engineering and -believe it or not-chocolate engineering.
     Even if you are not a girl in the target(目标) age group, there"s a lot of interesting information on the
site, including biographies(自传)of some well-known women engineers.
