No matter what 48 I got, it wouldn't cancel three C-pluses. I might as well kiss the 49 goodbye.

I stopped working hard. I felt I knew the course material as well as I ever would.The night before the final, I even 50 myself to a movie. The next day I decided for once I'd have 51 with a test.

A week later, I was surprised to find I got an A. I hurried into Professor Jayne's office. He 52 to be expecting me. \wouldn't continue to work as hard.\ I stared at him, 54 that his analysis and strategy（策略）were correct. I had worked my head 55 , as I had never done before.

（A）

If you feel at present that you don’t have enough friends in your life, one reason may be that you have let yourself become too busy to make time for the

4 / 12

江苏省仪征中学2011-2012学年高一英语下学期期中考试试题 牛津版【会员独享】 relationships you already have. Starting and keeping friendship require effort and commitment(责任，义务，承诺).

Many of us let our lives become so busy with work and other commitments that we don’t get around to scheduling time for pleasure and renewal (叙旧) with the friends, relatives and acquaintances we already have.

Making the effort to call your friends more regularly and to accept more of the invitations you receive from others can improve your social life in a hurry! Are there any people you could call right now and be assured of a pleasant welcome? Are there people that you could depend on to help you in time of difficulty? Can you have close talks with them? Do you have fun when you are together? Are you happy to have them in your life?

If you haven’t seen much of them lately, is it because you have become too busy? Have you grown apart? Was there an argument? If the main reason you haven’t been getting together with the people you already know is that you have gotten too busy, take a good look at how you spend your time. Compare it with your real values and priorities(优先考虑的事) in life. Is your busy lifestyle really bringing you the quality of life that you want?

If you have become too busy for friends, why has this happened? Are you seeking material joys in your life at the expense of relationships with other human beings? Have you allowed your time to be over-committed because you never say ‘‘No” to anyone? Do you insist on doing things yourself that could be delegated to others? If so, why? Do you believe that everything depends on you?

Examine whether the way you are now spending your time exactly reflects your deepest values and priorities. Make sure that you schedule enough time for the things that are truly most important to you.

If you really want to keep friends in your life, make a space in your schedule, and a space in your heart for them.

56. In this passage the author mainly discusses ______.

A. how to balance friendship and work B. how to spend our spare time C. whether we should keep friendship D. whether we should invite friends to dinner

57. What does the underlined word “delegated” probably mean?

A. appointed (分派) B. replaced C. reduced D. handled

58. The reason why you have become too busy for friends may be the following except that ______.

A. you spend too much time seeking material joys in your life B. you feel it difficult to keep friendship

C. you stick to doing everything all by yourself

D. you never refuse whatever other people ask you to do 59. Which would be the best title for the text?

A. Too busy for Friendship? B. Too busy with work? C. How to Spend Your Time D. How to Make New Friends

（B）

Throughout history, people have been interested in knowing how language first
