What does it take to graduate from university Some papers or high scores in exams Well, these are not enough if you are a student at Tsinghua University. According to a new rule of the university, students must prove (证明) themselves in the swimming pool. They need to pass a swimming test of at least 50 meters, and those who fail the test will be required to take a swimming course throughout their school years. By the time they graduate, they will have known how to swim; otherwise they can’t graduate with their bachelor’s degrees (学士学位).
The news made waves in Chinese social media (媒体). Some people praised the university for requiring a necessary skill that can save lives, and they also believed that the rule would help improve students’ health. However, others questioned if it was fair to expect those who come from inland cities (内陆城市) to be able to swim.
In fact, this is not a new rule. Tsinghua University first made swimming a requirement in 1919 but later gave it up because the number of students became too large and there were not enough swimming pools in the school for them to learn swimming.
Anyway, it is still good news that Chinese students’ health has become more and more valued. Why not just take this chance to learn one more life-saving ability
4. According to the passage, what does it take for a student to graduate from Tsinghua university
A. Some papers. B. High scores in exams
C. Passing a swimming test. D. All of the above.
5. The underlined phrase “made waves” in Paragraph 3 most probably means _________.
A. caused a heated discussion B. spread widely C. made a requirement D. proved the rule
6. Why did Tsinghua University once give up the rule
① Because many students failed the swimming test.
② Because some people disagreed with the rule
③ Because there were too many students.
④Because there were not enough swimming pools.
A. ①② B. ②③ C. ③④ D. ①④
7. What is the passage mainly about
A. Different people hold different opinions about a new rule.
B. Tsinghua University has made a new rule of graduation
C. Chinese students’ health should be more and more valued.
D. There is a new chance to learn another life-saving ability.
C
There are many ways to help improve your health like eating healthy food. Taking exercise and getting medical help. But the easiest and cheapest way to improve your health is just to sleep eight hours or more every night. The general sleeping rule is that the younger you are, the longer sleep you need. But regardless of(不管)age,some people need to sleep more while for some a few hours is enough.
The problem with sleep is that more and more people in the world are not sleeping enough. According to the World Health Organization over half the people in the world may be sleep-deprived. Having less sleep not only makes people feel tired but also causes accidents. In the United States alone, sleepy drivers cause at least 100,000 traffic accidents a year. Also sleep problems can cause medical problems such as high blood pressure (血压).
Why are so many people sleep-deprived Part of the reasons may be cultural. In the American culture, people put a higher value on work than on sleep. In fact, people who sleep a lot are usually seen as "lazy". Also, you can sometimes hear some people say proudly that they don't have much time to sleep. They only sleep four or five hours a night. It seems that the less you sleep,the more work you'll do.
How do we teach these people to learn the value of sleep Perhaps they may listen to the advice of Dr. James Maas an expert in sleep. He says, " Sleep is like a credit (信用卡)card. When you sleep less,you are only borrowing time. You always have to pay it back. The more hours you don't sleep, the more hours you should sleep to 'pay back ' the hours on your 'sleep credit card.' "
For those who value work more than sleep, they should listen to what a famous person once said. "Don't think you will be doing less work because you sleep during the night. That is a foolish idea which is held by people who have no imagination. You will be able to do more."
8. According to the writer, the easiest and cheapest way to improve health is to______ .
A. eat healthy food every day B. take exercise as much as possible
C. get medical help whenever necessary D. sleep eight hours or more every night
9 What does "sleep-deprived" mean in Paragraph 2
A. Having a good sleep. B. Excited about sleep.
C. Having less sleep. D. Interested in sleep.
10. According to Dr. James Maas, what is sleep like
A. An hour. B. A report.
C. A credit card. D. A piece of paper.
11. What is the best title of the passage
A. The Value of Sleep B. The Value of Study
C. The Ways of Eating Less D. The Ways of Making Money
D
Kindness
Good friends are not just kind to you; they are kind to others as well. People like being around them because they are positive people. The kindness they spread comes from inner feelings of happiness and self-confidence. In contrast, social aggression, such as meanness, is a quality that shows lack of respect for others and discontent with oneself. These feelings outwardly show and eventually prevent communications and genuine friendships from forming.
Accepting
Good friends are easy to talk to because they accept what you are. They understand the things that are important to you and the values that you hold. Although they may not necessarily agree with all of your beliefs and actions, they will never judge you. People who can accept you also are better able to accept themselves. High self-esteem and self-acceptance are intertwined.
Interest
According to American writer and lecturer, Dale Carnegie, showing genuine interest in others is one way to promote feelings of goodwill. People are more likely to remember how you make them feel. This goes beyond good listening skills. Good friends ask questions about things that matter to you. To do this, they must put aside their own needs and focus on helping others feel important. If you make them feel inferior, they will not enjoy the time you spend together.
Honesty
Although honesty is important to friendships, it may be one of the most difficult qualities to maintain. When you ask a friend for honesty, she may prefer preserving the peace over telling you what she really thinks. But honesty promotes trust. A good friend cares enough to tell you the truth and has sufficient confidence in the relationship to be assured of a positive outcome.
12. What does the kindness of a friend come from according to the passage
A. Respect. B. Excitement. C. Happiness. D. Belief.
13. What good friends will do if you make them feel less important according to the passage
A. They will begin to care about their own needs.
B. They will take no interest in you.
C. They will feel uncomfortable to stay with you.
D. They are more likely to question about themselves.
14. The underlined word ''intertwined'' in the second paragraph probably means .
A. connected B. complicated C. obvious D. common
15. What is the passage mainly about
A. Being kind to friends. B. Why we need friends.
C. How to make friends. D. Qualities of a good friendship.

Although they may not necessarily agree with all of your beliefs and actions, they will never judge you. People who can accept you also are better able to accept themselves. High self-esteem and self-acceptance are intertwined.
Interest
According to American writer and lecturer, Dale Carnegie, showing genuine interest in others is one way to promote feelings of goodwill. People are more likely to remember how you make them feel. This goes beyond good listening skills. Good friends ask questions about things that matter to you. To do this, they must put aside their own needs and focus on helping others feel important. If you make them feel inferior, they will not enjoy the time you spend together.
Honesty
Although honesty is important to friendships, it may be one of the most difficult qualities to maintain. When you ask a friend for honesty, she may prefer preserving the peace over telling you what she really thinks. But honesty promotes trust. A good friend cares enough to tell you the truth and has sufficient confidence in the relationship to be assured of a positive outcome.
12. What does the kindness of a friend come from according to the passage
A. Respect. B. Excitement. C. Happiness. D. Belief.
13 What good friends will do if you make them feel less important according to the passage
A. They will begin to care about their own needs.
B. They will take no interest in you.
C. They will feel uncomfortable to stay with you.
D. They are more likely to question about themselves.
14. The underlined word ''intertwined'' in the second paragraph probably means .
A. connected B. complicated C. obvious D. common
15. What is the passage mainly about
A. Being kind to friends. B. Why we need friends.
C. How to make friends. D. Qualities of a good friendship.
【答案】12. C 13. C 14. A 15. D
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇议论文。文章主要谈论良好友谊需要的4种品质,以及每种品质对友谊的重要性。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据Kindness部分的The kindness they spread comes from inner feelings of happiness and self-confidence.可知,朋友所传递的友善来自于幸福的内心感受和自信。C. Happiness.(幸福)符合以上说法,故选C项。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据Interest部分的If you make them feel inferior, they will not enjoy the time you spend together.可知,如果你让朋友感到自卑,他们就不会喜欢和你待在一起。由此推测,如果你让朋友感到他们不那么重要,他们和你在一起就会觉得不舒服。C. They will feel uncomfortable to stay with you.(他们和你待在一起会觉得不舒服)符合以上推测,故选C项。
【14题详解】
词义猜测题。根据Accepting部分的People who can accept you also are better able to accept themselves. High self-esteem and self-acceptance are intertwined.可知,可以接受你的人也能更好地接受自己。高度的自尊和自我承认是intertwined。划线部分所在句子是对上文内容的解释,即“高度的自尊和自我承认是相互的关系”。A. connected(有联系的)符合以上猜测,故选A项。
