第二部分：阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40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,并把答案涂在答题卡上。

A

Instead of going to camp this summer, Zach, 11, has decided to walk 668 miles from Atlanta, Georgia, to the nation’s capital, Washington, D.C. Zach hopes to raise awareness of the difficulties of homeless kids. His journey to help others began two years ago, when he walked from his home in Tampa, Florida, to Tallahassee. Then, in 2008, he did it again, this time walking from Tallahassee to Atlanta.???? Since May, Zach has traveled 12 miles a day in his trusty Adidas sneakers. Along the way, he has collected more than 1,000 letters about homeless children, which he hopes to make public when he arrives in Washington. Zach says he wants his walk to make a difference. "It’s been a long walk," Zach says, "but is definitely worth it."???? In 2005, Zach participated (参加) in an episode (一集,一节) of the television show "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition." He says that helping to build homes made him realize there were people who didn’t have anywhere to live, and this made him decide to help homeless youth. He was also inspired by a movie he saw about Mildred Norman, an activist who promoted world peace by walking 25,000 miles. Zach thought that walking would be a good way to draw attention to his cause. ???? Zach is also the founder of the Little Red Wagon Foundation. The purpose of this non-profit organization is to help needy youth, and through it he has raised money and received school supplies. "A lot of homeless young people don’t get the opportunity to succeed at school because they don’t have supplies," he says. ???? Zach’s volunteerism has even inspired a Hollywood movie about him. "He’s the most extraordinary kid I’ve ever met," says Michael Guillen of the Philanthropy Project, who is making the movie. "He hasn’t just talked the walk; he’s really walked it."

36. Zach walks in order to ______. ???? A. visit Washington, D.C. B. help homeless children

C. learn about the difficulty of walking???? D. attract attention

37. What does Zach mainly do as he walks????? A. He experiences the lives of homeless children.

B. He inspires homeless children to get through their difficulties.

C. He makes letters about homeless children public. ???? D. He collects letters about homeless children.

38. What gave Zach the idea to help others????? A. A television show. B. A movie star.

C. Some homeless people. D. An unusual walk.

39. From Michael Guillen we can learn that______. ???? A. Zach matches his words with his deeds

B. Zach has great potential as an actor

C. Zach has received many donations from actors

D. Zach will be starring in a Hollywood movie B Dealing with a broken friendship can be one of the most heartbreaking situations you go through in life, especially if you’ve been friends with the person for a long time. There are a lot of things that can lead to division between friends, but I think in general real break-ups occur when friends take very different paths in life, and find it harder and harder to relate. Then, even if they don’t have a sudden split due to a major argument, they’ll still find themselves drifting apart (逐渐疏远).???? Obviously time plays a big part here. If an argument has taken place, but there is at least the potential for the friendship to be re-established, both people will need some time to sort out the situation. After a while, they may be able to start talking again. The hardest part may be the friendship not being the same as before or not being as close, but this depends on the situations of the division.???? People also have a hard time seeing changes in their friends. This is especially serious if your friend has changed for the worse, and you risk getting pulled in the same direction by trying to fix the friendship. In such a situation, it’s often best to ask someone you trust outside the broken friendship —som
