第二部分：阅读理解（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

A

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. 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 they can trust. They may be partners in crime or partners in study, but the friendship of adolescent boys can run surprisingly deep.

41. The common belief of adults is that boys　 　　.

A. don’t care about others as much as girls

C. have the same friendship as girls

D. have healthier friendships than girls



42. 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

43. 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

44. As a boy gets older, he tends to　　 　.

A. shift his focus from his friends to himself

B. leave his parents out of his friends



 C. widen his circle of friends to include his parents

D. be confused about what a friendship is

It used to be that one followed in the footsteps of their father or grandfather or took over the family business when it came to making a career choice. These days, a career path can start anywhere and then veer off into something totally different.

Career choices must be realistic and well thought out. It is not uncommon for persons to start a career path and realize they have made a terrible mistake, feeling as if it may be too late to turn around. Not only does a career choice concern your strongest skills and interest, it is also something that you will be doing continuously to bring in income. This is why a career choice can be such a personal decision. Formerly it used to be unusual for someone to change occupations or careers more than once or twice in a lifetime; it is now even more unusual to keep the same career during someone’s working life.

There are a great many measures in helping one choose the right profession. A number of websites offering tools such as career tests
