第二部分:阅读理解(共 15 小题;每小题 2 分,满分 30 分)
A
As an overseas student (留学生) , you may find it difficult to make friends
in a new country. Being alone without your family, you will probably feel homesick
and a little uncomfortable in a new culture. Here are some suggestions to help you
make friends.
Firstly, it's a good idea to ring your family and friends at home and tell
them about your new life. Talk to your teachers and other overseas students. Share
your problems and feelings and you will soon feel a little better.
Secondly, it is very important to attend your classes and do your homework.
The more you learn, the more confident you will become. If you are learning a new
language you will learn quickly at the start, but then more slowly. Be patient with
yourself, because all learning takes time.
Thirdly, you should join a club at your school or college. There are many to
choose from— sports groups, movie groups, music groups. Remember that every time
you join in, you are helping yourself make new friends.
Finally, to make friends you really ought to learn about the new culture. As
you understand more about how people around you live and think, you will find it
easier to make friends. Ask questions and be interested. Some of these friends will
probably be your friends for life.
In a word, living in a new country and making friends is a valuable experience.
Face your
loneliness, then study hard and try to join a club and understand the culture. You
will probably make life-long friends.

A great man died today. He wasn't a world leader or a famous doctor or a war
hero or a sports figure and you will never see his name in the financial (金融)
pages. But he was one of the greatest men who ever lived. He was my father.
I guess you might say he was a person who was never interested in receiving
honours. He did ordinary things like paying his bill on time, going to church on
Sunday and serving as an officer in the Parent-Teacher-Association (家长教师联
合会) . He helped his kids with their homework and drove his wife to do shopping
on Thursday nights. He enjoyed driving his teenagers and their friends to and from
football games.
Tonight is my first night without him. I don't know what to do with myself.
I am sorry now for the times I didn't show him the proper respect. But I am grateful
for a lot of other things.
I am thankful that God let me have my father for 15 years. And I am happy that
I was able to let him know how much I loved him. That wonderful man died with a
smile on his face and satisfaction in his heart. He knew that he was a great success
as a husband and a father, a brother, a son and a friend. I wonder how many
millionaires (百万富翁 ) can say that.

C. He is 15 years old.

C. The writer's friend.
D. The writer's teacher.

A. He thought he himself was a good son.
B. He was kind and helpful to the teenagers.
C. He was not satisfied with his life.
D. He went shopping with his wife on Thursdays.

ended his basketball dreams. So he turned his determination into a new goal—acting.

he suffered terrible physical pain and freezing cold weather. But his hard work
paid off. He received much praise for this role.

_______________________ He looks for
roles that encourage people and give them hope.

life valuable.
