Absolute agony！
　　Our Agony Aunt answers your questions.
Dear Agony Aunt，
　　I’m in a total mess① here — [1]hope you can help me out②！
　　[1]本句是祈使句。
　　I’m 17， and a member of our school basketball team.I’m crazy about③basketball， and pretty good at④it too， [2]which is probably why I was so mad when we lost our last match.We played well， but I felt the team were let down⑤ by one member， our point guard.The point guard is a key player， but it was like⑥ he wasn’t even on the court⑦！[3]Disappointed by his behaviour， I said all this to my best friend.I was just letting off steam⑧ really， [4]because I was so angry， but then my friend went and told everyone else [5]what I’d said.
　　[2]which 引导非限制性定语从句，补充说明前面的句子；该从句中why引导表语从句，when引导时间状语从句。
　　[3]过去分词短语作原因状语。
　　[4]because 引导原因状语从句。
　　[5]what引导宾语从句，并在从句中作said的宾语。
　　This is so totally awkward.I’m really angry with⑨ my friend — what should I say to him？And should I say anything at all to my teammate？
　　Embarrassed and ashamed， I can’t concentrate on⑩ anything.Please help！
Ben
Dear Ben，
　　There is an old American saying ，“Loose lips sink ships .” This means [6]that if you speak too much about something， especially to people who you don’t know so well， it’ll cause all kinds of trouble.
　　[6]that引导宾语从句。从句也是主从复合句，其中if引导条件状语从句；who引导定语从句，修饰先行词people；it’ll cause all kinds of trouble 是主句。
　　The situation here is so much worse because the “loose lips” were your best friend’s.[7]Treated this way， you’re sure to feel hurt — we should always be able to trust those [8]closest to us， and it hurts even more when we find we can’t.
　　But I have to say [9]that it’s partly your fault ， isn’t it？ You admit that you were “letting off steam”.It is understandable in that situation， but we should always think before we speak.
　　[7]过去分词短语作原因状语。
　　[8]形容词短语作后置定语，修饰those。
　　[9]that 引导宾语从句；isn’t it 为反意疑问句。
　　[10]Here’s what you need to do.First， apologise to your teammate.If you ever want to win any more basketball games （and I’m sure you do！）， you need to work together ， and that means communicating with each other clearly and resolving conflicts.So have a chat with your teammate.[11]Tell him directly and honestly that you were talking without thinking.
　　[10]完全倒装句。what引导的从句是句子的主语。
　　[11]祈使句。that引导宾语从句，作前面Tell的直接宾语。
　　Then， talk to your friend.Friendship should be one of the greatest things in the world， but sometimes it can be difficult.Again， your strategy is clear communication.Tell your friend you’re angry with him for repeating [12]what you said and [13]making the situation worse， but [14]that you want to move on .[15]Approached in this way， your friendship will soon be repaired.
　　[12]what引导宾语从句，并在从句中作said的宾语。
　　[13]此处为“make＋宾语＋宾语补足语”结构。worse是bad的比较级，此处作宾语补足语。
　　[14]that 引导宾语从句。
　　[15]过去分词短语作条件状语。
　　Thirdly， and perhaps most importantly ，think about your own behaviour.Don’t say too much when you’re angry！[16]Filled with anger， you tend to say [17]whatever comes to your mind.This gives people the wrong signal .Take a deep breath ， calm down ， and always remember： think first， speak later.If you feel one of your teammates isn’t pulling their weight ， then raise your concerns in a professional way with your team coach.
　　If you think about other people’s feelings as well as your own， you’ll soon find everything works out .
　　[16]Filled with anger是过去分词短语作状语，be filled with意为“充满着”，作定语或状语时通常省略be。
　　[17]whatever引导宾语从句，此处不可以改成no matter what。
Good luck！

深陷痛苦！知心阿姨为你答疑解惑
尊敬的知心阿姨：
　　我这儿一团糟，希望您能帮我一把！
　　我今年17岁，是学校篮球队的一员。我酷爱打篮球，打得也很好，也许正因如此，在我们队输掉了最近的比赛时我相当恼怒。我们打得不错，但我感觉整个团队都被一个队友拖累了，那就是我们的控球后卫。控球后卫是队里的关键球员，但他却好像不在场上似的！我对他的所作所为感到失望，就把这些全部告诉了我最好的朋友。我其实只是想发泄一下怒气，因为我太生气了，可我的朋友随后却把我的话告诉了所有人。
　　这太让人难堪了。我对朋友气恼不已，我应该对他说些什么？另外，我是否应该对我的队友说点什么？
　　我既尴尬又羞愧，做什么事都无法集中精力。请您帮帮我吧！
本
亲爱的本：
　　美国有一句老话：“祸从口出。”意思是说如果你对某件事谈论得过多，尤其是跟你不太了解的人谈论，会招来各种各样的麻烦。
　　你的情况更为糟糕，因为“口风不紧”的人是你最好的朋友。被这样对待，你一定觉得受到了伤害——我们应该一直能够信赖最亲近的人，当我们发现他们不能信赖时，就更伤心了。
　　不过我不得不说你也有一部分责任，不是吗？你承认了你“只是想发泄一下怒气”。这在当时的情况下可以理解，但我们在说话前应该先想清楚。
　　现在你应该这么做。第一步，向你的队友道歉。如果你们以后篮球比赛还想赢球（我肯定你们一定想赢！），你们就必须团结合作，这就意味着你们彼此之间必须沟通清楚，解决矛盾。所以，找你那位队友聊聊吧，直接诚恳地告诉他你当时的话没有经过认真考虑。
　　第二步，和你的朋友聊聊吧。友谊应该是世上最好的事物之一了，但有时也会有些麻烦。同样，你的策略是进行清楚明确的沟通。告诉你的朋友，他传话的行为让情况更糟糕了，你对此很生气，但你想让事情就此过去。通过这个方式处理，你们的友谊很快就会被修复。
　　第三步，也许是最重要的一点，你要反思自己的行为。生气的时候不要说太多话！满腔怒火的时候，你往往想到什么就说什么。这会给别人错误的信号。深呼吸，冷静下来，并时刻记住：先思而后言。如果你觉得某个队友没有尽职尽责，那你要以更专业的方式向教练提出你的担心。
　　如果你能在考虑自己感受的同时也考虑别人的感受，很快你就会发现情况将逐渐好转。
祝你好运！
知心阿姨

Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
　　Friendship is a beautiful relationship. While some friendships tend to come to an end as we grow in life， there are some rare and special ones that are meant to last forever. No matter how many years pass by， the connection stays alive.
　　Two childhood best friends who were “joined at the hip” as kids were reunited over a half century later — when they least expected it.
　　Irene Gresty and Janet Henderson were neighbours in the 1940s， growing up in England， but like many friends， they lost touch over the years. After getting married， Gresty moved with her husband who was in the navy and was shipped to many foreign places. However， Gresty， despite living in many countries， loved her own country. Gresty said， “I loved the area where I grew up， so I wanted to settle down to enjoy retirement （退休）.” Thanks to an event hosted by Bield Housing and Care， a non-profit organization devoted to supporting residents over 55 years old， finally they met each other. Gresty said， “We sat down beside each other and she turned to me and said ‘Is that you Irene？’ and I just laughed and said ‘Yes. Are you Janet？’” They couldn’t believe that they were meeting each other after so long. They spent the rest of the afternoon talking to each other.
　　Henderson said that it is usual in life for people to often move away from the area and lose contact. As their family names changed， Henderson couldn’t recognize her friend’s name despite being told about her. The two have promised to never stay long without seeing each other. They exchanged numbers so they could meet in the future. They have many years to catch up on everything they have missed.
语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文。Gresty和Henderson两人从小是好朋友，由于某种原因，两人失去了联系，但是半个世纪后两人重聚了。
1.What does the underlined part “joined at the hip” in Paragraph 2 probably mean？（　　）
A.Grow fast.　　　　　 B.Work hard.
C.Hang around.　 D.Stay together.
解析：D　词义猜测题。根据画线短语所在句子可知，半个世纪后两人重聚了，这说明两个人在小时候就是朋友，即两人小时候就待在一起。由此可知，画线短语joined at the hip意为“待在一起”。
2.What made Gresty return to England？（　　）
A.Her friends’ invitation.
B.Her husband’s new job.

　　When you are a kid， gaining a best friend forever can happen in a single play date. But when you grow up to be an adult， making and maintaining friendships gets harder. So how much quality time （优质时光） do you need before that stranger becomes your friend？ A study recently found that， on average， it takes about 50 hours with someone before you consider them a casual （感情不深的） friend， about 90 hours before you become real friends， and about 200 hours to become close friends.
　　The study’s author Jeffrey Hall， a communications professor， invited adults who are eager to make friends to take part in two experiments — people who had just moved to a new city in the past six months and college freshmen. He asked them to rate and track the degree of closeness and time spent together with a new person. “Results suggest that the chance of changing from casual friend to real friend is greater than 50％ after around 80－100 hours together，” said Hall.
　　The study found that the amount of time spent talking together， or the fact that you spent time at school or work with them， was unrelated to friendship closeness. “It is really easy to spend a lot of time with people as they are routinely in the same place at the same time as you，” Hall said. “However， my study shows you can have workmates you spend hundreds and hundreds of hours with and still not develop a friendship.”
　　You do not need to become best friends with your workmates to develop meaningful relationships with them. But for those of us hoping to change from “girl who I eat lunch at work with” to “friend I can depend on”， Hall suggests that you need to take the relationship out of the workplace for it to become a friendship. The participants who did activities outside of work with someone， such as being invited to have lunch in their home， were more likely to develop deeper relationships with them.

　　Hundreds of friends on Facebook can’t replace a handful of close friends in real life， a study has found.In a recent study， researchers discovered that people with only a few friends were at least as happy as those with far more if many of theirs were online.
　　Social media， the researchers said， has encouraged younger people to have larger but more impersonal networks of “friends”.But instead of trying to amass friends， they added， a better cure for loneliness might be spending time with those you’re closest to.
　　Scientists from the University of Leeds did their study using data from two online surveys on 1，496 people by a non-profit research organization.People taking part in the study showed their ages， the make-up of their social networks， how often they had different types of social interactions， and their own feelings of well-being.They included details of how often and how they interacted with families or neighbors， and whether they included people who provided services to them in their networks.
　　The number of close friends someone had appeared to be the only thing which influenced how satisfied they were with their social life.
　　“Loneliness has less to do with the number of friends you have， and more to do with how you feel about your friends，” said Dr W ndi Bruine de Bruin.Actually， it’s often the younger adults who admit to having a bad opinion of their friends.
If you feel lonely， it may be more helpful to make a positive connection with a friend than to try and seek out new people to meet.
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。一项研究发现，亲密朋友的数量似乎是影响一个人对社交生活满意度的唯一因素。

Ⅱ.阅读七选五
　　People disagree about meaningful and small matters on a daily basis. Sometimes you know if you speak your mind you will upset someone. However， you often must express your opinion even if you know others will disagree. By choosing your words carefully you can avoid long-term offense （冒犯）.
　　·Ask people about their perspective （观点）. Before being honest about how you feel， it’s important to know their perspective. This gives you a chance to show genuine interest and have a conversation.13.（　　） They may even end their explanation with a request to hear your perspective.
　　·Put yourself in their shoes. One of the simplest ways to avoid hurting feelings is to imagine how they will respond to your statements.14.（　　） Practise imagining how they view their own opinion and yours. Just because their perspective is different doesn’t mean it’s wrong.
　　·15.（　　） Be careful with your honesty. You want to speak the truth in kindness. That means avoiding obvious negative behaviors such as making a face or making fun of their ideas.
　　·Be polite in your responses. Whenever you try to avoid hurting others， it is best to speak with kindness. Simple acts of kindness can make a big difference. They convey respect and show that you value the other person. This situation isn’t all about you speaking your mind.16.（　　）
　　·Express your perspective as opinion， not fact. This shows you value their perspective， even if you know the facts back you up. If they have an open mind， facts will change their perspective. If they do not have an open mind， facts will feel like personal attacks.17.（　　） Allow them to discover the truth in their own way， not yours.
A.They have a right to be incorrect.
B.It’s about them feeling valued.
C.Control your words and body language.
D.If they said that to you， would you be upset？
E.Listening to others’ opinion is a very powerful way.
F.Use facts and try to avoid letting your emotions run high.
G.This may also give you opportunities to speak up and be honest.
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章告诉我们几条关于如何在不伤害他人感情的情况下保持诚实的建议。
13.G　空前后两句说明询问别人观点带来的好处。G项（这也会给你机会说出自己的想法，做到诚实）符合语境。
14.D　根据上文可知，要站在别人的角度考虑问题。避免伤感情的最简单的方法之一就是想象一下他们会对你的话有何反应。D项（如果他们那样对你说，你会生气吗？）符合语境。
15.C　空处为段落主题句。根据下文making a face和making fun of their ideas可知，C项（控制你的言语和肢体语言）符合语境。
16.B　根据空前一句可知，这种情况不完全是说出你的想法。B项（而是让他们感到被重视）符合语境。
17.A　根据上下文可知，认为你说的不对是他们的权利，允许他们用自己的方式去发现真相。A项（他们有认为你不对的权利）符合语境。
17 / 17Section Ⅲ　Developing ideas
Little White Lies
　　[1]Written more than two hundred years ago， these lines by Walter Scott① remain② one of the most well-known excerpts③ of Scottish poetry④：
　　Oh， [2]what a tangled⑤ web⑥ we weave⑦，
　　When first we practise to deceive⑧！
　　[1]过去分词短语作状语，write与句子主语these lines是逻辑上的动宾关系。
　　[2]what引导感叹句，其结构为：What＋a/an＋形容词＋名词＋主语＋谓语！
　　[3]We all know that honesty⑨ is an important value⑩ and that lying is wrong， but who can honestly say that they’ve never told a lie ？ [4]Perhaps we comfort ourselves with the knowledge that most of the lies we tell are “white lies ”： little lies that we tell to protect others from the truth.
　　[3]本句为but连接的并列复合句。在but前面的句子中，know 后面是that 引导的两个宾语从句，其中第二个that 不能省略；在but后面的句子中，say 后面是that 引导的宾语从句。
　　[4]本句是复合句。knowledge 后面是that 引导的同位语从句；we tell是定语从句； little lies后是that 引导的定语从句；to protect others from the truth为动词不定式短语作目的状语。
　　[5]We’ve all surely had the experience of someone cooking a meal for us that we don’t like. [6]The majority of us of course don’t tell the truth — we lie and say that the food is “delicious”.
　　[5]本句是复合句。that we don’t like为that 引导的定语从句，修饰前面的先行词meal。
　　[6]and 连接前后并列的两个谓语动词lie和say，say 后面是that 引导的宾语从句。
　　[7]Or if a friend asks us what we think of their new haircut ， we say “It’s great！”， even if we think it’s awful . But to what extent can we justify telling white lies like these？
　　[7]本句为复合句。asks us后面是what引导的宾语从句；even if 引导让步状语从句。
　　One of the main reasons for telling a white lie is to try to make others feel better.[8]However， when we lie and say that someone’s haircut looks good， or when we say that we love a meal that we secretly hate， are we really hoping to improve the situation for someone else？ Perhaps we are in fact lying to protect ourselves from the disappointment and anger of others.
　　[8]本句是复合句。or 连接两个when 引导的时间状语从句，主句是一般疑问句，使用了现在进行时。However后面必须要加逗号。
　　Another reason for telling a white lie is to give encouragement .Say for example that your friend asks you what you think of his singing.[9]You of course say that it’s wonderful， despite secretly thinking that your cat can sing better. [10]Stop for a moment and consider that perhaps your friend wants some frank comments from you so that they can improve. Or perhaps， they need to know that they should look for a different hobby.
　　[9]本句中despite 为介词，其后引导表示让步意义的短语结构，意义相当于although your cat can sing better。
　
　[10]本句是复合句。主句为祈使句；that引导宾语从句；so that 引导目的状语从句，从句中常用情态动词。
　　Finally， we may also tell a white lie when we want to protect others from bad news.If you’ve had a bad day， do you tell your parents about it， or do you hide your tears and lie that your day was “fine”？ If the latter ， don’t you think your parents would want to listen to you and understand your feelings？ Wouldn’t it be better to respect their concern for you and ask for their advice ？
　　[11]Going back to Walter Scott’s lines， we may find even white lies have results we cannot know in advance .[12]Perhaps the meal you said was “delicious” will be served every time you visit. Would your friend trust your opinion again if he found out you had lied about his “wonderful” singing？ How would you expect others to truly understand your emotions if you only shared good news instead of bad？ Moreover ， how would you feel if you discovered that the people closest to you had been hiding the truth from you？
　　[11]Going back to Walter Scott’s lines为动词-ing短语作状语，go与句子的主语we是逻辑上的主谓关系。
　　[12]you said was “delicious”为省略了关系代词that或which的定语从句，修饰先行词meal； every time 引导时间状语从句，意为“每次……”。

善意的小小谎言
　　200多年前，沃尔特·司各特写下的这几行文字，如今依然是苏格兰诗歌中最广为传诵的诗句之一：
　　啊，谎言一旦开始，
　　我们须得织就一张错综复杂的网！
　　我们都知道诚实是一项重要品质，也知道说谎是不对的。但是谁又能诚实地说自己从来没有说过谎呢？或许我们可以安慰自己，我们说过的大部分谎言都是“善意的谎言”，即为了保护他人不被真相伤害而撒的小谎。
　　我们一定都有过这样的经历：别人为我们准备的菜肴不合我们的口味。大多数人会理所当然地把真实想法隐藏起来——我们会撒谎说这道菜“很好吃”。
　　或者有朋友问我们他的新发型怎么样，即使我们觉得剪得非常糟糕，也会说“棒极了！”但是这些善意的谎言到底有多正当呢？
　　说善意的谎言，主要原因之一是为了照顾别人的感受。但是，当我们撒谎说某人的发型很好看，或者说不合我们口味的菜很好吃时，我们真的是在为别人着想吗？也许事实上，我们撒谎只是为了不让别人失望和生气，以免殃及自身。
　　说善意的谎言的另一个原因是给予鼓励。比如说，你的朋友问你觉得他的歌唱得怎么样。尽管你私下里认为他唱得还不如猫叫好听，但还是说他的歌声很美妙。停下来想一想，也许你的朋友就是想听到你的真实评价，从而改进和提高。又或者，应该让他知道自己需要换一个爱好了。
　　最后，想要向别人隐瞒坏消息的时候，我们可能也会说善意的谎言。假如你今天过得很糟糕，你是对你的父母说实话呢，还是偷偷擦掉眼泪骗他们说今天过得“不错”？如果你选择隐瞒，难道你不觉得其实父母希望听你倾诉从而理解你的真实感受吗？尊重他们对你的关心，向他们寻求建议不是更好吗？
　　回到沃尔特·司各特的诗句，我们会发现，即使是善意的谎言，也会带来无法预知的后果。也许被你评价为“很好吃”的菜肴会在你每次到访时都出现在餐桌上。你的朋友发现你对歌声“很美妙”的评价是个谎言后，还会继续信任你的看法吗？如果你只分享好消息而隐瞒坏消息，你还能期望他人真正理解你的情绪吗？而且，当你发现身边最亲近的人在对你隐瞒真相时，你又会有怎样的感受呢？

自主翻译 　也许被你评价为“很好吃”的菜肴会在你每次到访时都出现在餐桌上。

　　We all know that honesty is an important value and that 1.　lying　 （lie） is wrong， but who can 2.　honestly　 （honest） say that they’ve never told a lie？Perhaps we comfort ourselves with the knowledge that most of the lies we tell are “white lies”： little lies that we tell 3.　to protect　 （protect） others from the truth.There are some reasons for telling white lies.One reason for telling a white lie is to make others feel 4.　better　 （good）.When we lie and say someone’s haircut looks good， we are in fact lying to protect ourselves from the 5.　disappointment　 （disappoint） and anger of others.Another reason for telling a white lie is to give encouragement.Say for example that your friend asks you what you think of his singing.You of course say that it’s wonderful， 6.　despite　 secretly thinking that your cat can sing better.In fact， perhaps what your friend needs are frank 7.　comments　 （comment）.Finally， we may also tell 8.　a　 white lie 9.　when　 we want to protect others from bad news.If you 10.　have had　 （have） a bad day， you may hide your tears and lie that your day was “fine” so that your parents won’t worry about you.However， wouldn’t it be better to respect their concern for you and ask for their advice？One day， we may find even white lies have results we cannot know in advance.
Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
　　I have quite a bit of experience with Toastmasters， an organization aiming to help people overcome speech anxiety. I joined many years ago with the hope of improving my public speaking. After one of my speeches， the comments I received were harsh. Constructive or not， the critique was hard to take. I felt my feelings were hurt.
　　I learned many things from my time with Toastmasters， and one was the value of good feedback. Welcoming the critique of others is hard for adults， even when it’s well-intentioned. So naturally， we can expect that children will also struggle with it. But the feedback our children receive from teachers and parents is important to their growth and development. So as parents， we must learn how to deliver our feedback effectively， and we’ll need to train our children on how to accept it with openness and wisdom.
　　The way parents deliver their feedback is as important as the specific words used. It’s possible to have good intentions， but when feedback is poorly given， it can be harmful and not helpful.
　　It’s important to create a welcoming， safe environment in the home for intaking and processing feedback. Especially between a child and parent， the feedback needs to be healthy， constructive and regular.
　　The words used are also important. In a New York Times article written by Dr Adam Grant， an organizational psychologist at the Wharton School， he shares that it is “22 to 29 per cent more effective” to encourage children with nouns than verbs， but when it comes to giving negative feedback， it’s generally better to use verbs.
　　A parent’s feedback provides the scaffolding （脚手架） for how a child will manage their inner monologue. Consider， as an example， a discussion you may have with your child about their goals. Your feedback can encourage them not just to focus on where they are now but to reflect on how far they’ve come. This kind of feedback can spur them on to reach the finish line.
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了父母应该如何对孩子进行有效的反馈。
1.Why does the author mention his experience with Toastmasters？（　　）
A.To tell us what is good feedback.
B.To tell us to join Toastmasters.
C.To show the main function of feedback.
D.To show the necessity of proper feedback.
解析：D　推理判断题。根据第二段第一句可以推断出，作者提到他参加Toastmasters的经历是为了说明适当反馈的必要性。
2.Which of the following feedback is effective according to Dr Adam Grant？（　　）
①You’re a big helper.
②You’re a poor math learner.
③You’ve been helpful this afternoon.
④You didn’t do well on this math test.
A.①②　　 B.①④　　 C.②③　　 D.③④
解析：B　推理判断题。根据第五段内容可知，①和④是有效的反馈。
3.What does the underlined word “spur” in the last paragraph mean？（　　）
A.Limit.　　　　　　 B.Monitor.
C.Persuade.　 D.Inspire.
解析：D　词义猜测题。根据画线词上句和画线词后的them on to reach the finish line可知，画线词和上文的encourage意义一致。所以，画线词和D项Inspire意义一致。
4.What is the best title for the passage？（　　）
A.The Way to Respond to Feedback
B.The Value of Accepting Feedback
C.How to Give Effective Feedback
D.How to Become a Better Speaker
解析：C　标题归纳题。通读全文可知，文章主要介绍了父母应该如何对孩子进行有效的反馈。
B
　　“Did you hear what happened to Adam last Friday？” Lindsey whispers to Tori.
　　With her eyes shining，Tori brags，“You bet I did.Sean told me two days ago.”
　　Who are Lindsey and Tori talking about？It just happened to be yours truly，Adam Freedman.I can tell you that what they are saying is （a） not nice and （b） not even true.Still，Lindsey and Tori aren’t very different from most students here at Linton High School， including me.Many of our conversations are gossip （闲话）.I have noticed three effects of gossip：It can hurt people， it can give gossipers a strange kind of satisfaction， and it can cause social pressures in a group.
　　An important negative effect of gossip is that it can hurt the person being talked about.Usually，gossip spreads information about a topic — breakups， trouble at home， even dropping out — that a person would rather keep secret.The more embarrassing or shameful the secret is，the juicier the gossip it makes.Probably the worst type of gossip is the absolute lie.People often think of gossipers as harmless， but cruel lies can cause pain.
　　If we know that gossip can be harmful， then why do so many of us do it？The answer lies in another effect of gossip：the satisfaction it gives us.Sharing the latest rumor （传言） can make a person feel important because he or she knows something that others don’t.Similarly，hearing the latest rumor can make a person feel like part of the “in group”.In other words，gossip is satisfying because it gives people a sense of belonging or even superiority （优越感）.
　　Gossip can also have a third effect： It strengthens unwritten，unspoken rules about how people should act.Professor David Wilson explains that gossip is important in policing behaviour in a group.Translated into high school terms， this means that if everybody you hang around with is laughing at what John wore or what Jane said， then you can bet that wearing or saying something similar will get you the same kind of negative attention.The dos and don’ts conveyed through gossip will never show up in any student handbook.
　　The effects of gossip vary depending on the situation.The next time you feel the urge to spread the latest news，think about why you want to gossip and what effects your “juicy story” might have.
语篇解读：本文是一篇议论文。文章讨论了说闲话的影响，分析了人们为什么喜欢传闲话。
5.Why is a conversation given at the beginning of the passage？（　　）
A.To introduce a topic.
B.To present an argument.
C.To tell a story.
D.To clarify the writing purpose.
解析：A　推理判断题。第一、二段描述了两个人说别人闲话的场景。第三段叙述了说闲话这种事几乎人人都会做。下文接着叙述说闲话的三个影响。由此推知，文章开头引用两人的交谈是为了引出“说闲话”这个话题。
6.What important negative effect does gossip have？（　　）
A.Breaking up relationships.
B.Embarrassing the listeners.
C.Spreading information around.
D.Causing unpleasant experiences.
解析：D　推理判断题。根据第四段的第一句可知，流言会伤害被谈论的人。由此可推知，流言会给被谈论的人带来不愉快的经历。
7.Why do many people like to gossip？（　　）
A.It gives them a feeling of pleasure.
B.It helps them make more friends.
C.It makes them better at telling stories.
D.It enables them to meet important people.
解析：A　细节理解题。根据第五段中的The answer lies in another effect of gossip： the satisfaction it gives us.可知，散播流言能给人带来满足感，即快乐的感觉。
8.Professor David Wilson thinks that gossip can 　　　　.（　　）
A.provide students with written rules B.make people watch their own behaviour
C.force school to improve student handbooks D.attract the police’s attention to group behaviour
解析：B　细节理解题。根据第六段中的Professor David Wilson explains that gossip is important in policing behaviour in a group.可知，流言在管理群体行为方面很重要。
C
　　So many things can keep you from seeing your loved ones in person， from busy schedules to long distances. Fortunately， thanks to modern technology， the people you miss are often only a phone call or a text message away. According to science， if you want to feel more connected to the people you’re talking to， you should call them instead of texting.
　　In a study， researchers did various experiments. In one， they asked 200 people to imagine what it would be like to reconnect with an old friend by email or by phone， and they asked people to do one or the other at random. Although people thought that a phone call would be more mortifying， it actually made the experience better. “People reported they did form a stronger bond with their old friends on the phone versus email， and they did not feel uncomfortable，” co-author Amit Kumar said.
　　In another experiment， researchers had strangers connect by texting， talking over video chat， or talking using only audio （音频）. They found that both forms of voice communication — whether video or audio only — made the strangers feel more connected than when they communicated via text.
　　Sabrina Romanoff， a psychologist， says people tend to text instead of calling because of convenience， as they can organize information exactly in the way they intend without unexpected additions by the other person.
　　Romanoff says that in reality， texting can make it hard to determine the true meaning behind a conversation. “A phone call is actually more convenient considering the effects of the message，” she explains. “Each part is more present， and therefore， it is able to figure out the meaning behind the conversation quickly without thinking of the endless possible meanings behind words.”
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。研究发现，如果想和交谈的人感觉更亲近，应该给他们打电话而不是发短信。
9.What does the underlined word “mortifying” in Paragraph 2 mean？（　　）
A.Puzzling.　 B.Exciting.
C.Embarrassing.　 D.Satisfying.
解析：C　词义猜测题。根据Although可知，主从句之间为让步关系，结合下文it actually made the experience better以及they did not feel uncomfortable可知，尽管人们认为打电话会让人更难堪，但实际上这让体验变得更好。所以画线词的意思是“令人尴尬的”。
10.What advantage does a phone call have over an email according to the study？（　　）
A.It takes more patience.
B.It brings people closer.
C.It proves more relaxing.
D.It makes people more friendly.
解析：B　细节理解题。根据第三段中的They found that both forms ...they communicated via text.可知，根据这项研究，打电话比发电子邮件有优势是因为它拉近了人们的距离。
11.Why do people consider texting convenient？（　　）
A.They can make themselves clear without being disturbed.
B.They would easily keep the messages for future use.
C.They can freely express their good or bad feelings.
D.They would avoid some unpleasant topics.
解析：A　细节理解题。根据第四段中的as they can organize information ...by the other person可知，人们认为发短信很方便是因为他们可以在不被打扰的情况下把自己的意思表达清楚。
12.What can we infer from Romanoff’s words in the last paragraph？（　　）
A.It is easy to express one’s meaning through texting.
B.It is necessary to guess the meaning behind words.
C.People can understand each other more easily by phone calls.
D.People should use simple words to express themselves in emails.
解析：C　推理判断题。根据最后一段中的it is able to figure out ...possible meanings behind words可知，人们可以通过电话更容易地相互理解。

　　Talking to Teens About Friendships
　　Parents can’t choose their teenagers’ friends or control their friendships.13.（　　） Here are some of the most important things about friendships that parents should share with their teens.
　　Authentic （真实的） Connection
　　The best teen friendships allow teenagers to speak honestly and openly about how they are feeling.14.（　　） This kind of authentic connection will support them during adolescence （青春期） and beyond.
　　The Power of Listening
　　Friendships depend on listening as well as sharing.Strong teen friendships depend on listening closely and responding with encouragement and positive feedback.
　　Friendships Change
　　15.（　　） People change as they grow up， and then they may grow apart.Parents can encourage teens to think about the qualities that are important to them in a relationship.Friendships are more likely to last when teens have similar values， and want the same things out of the relationship.
　　Conflict （矛盾） Is Natural
　　It’s normal for teens to have fights and disagreements.16.（　　） Teen friendships help adolescents learn how to deal with conflict and how to recognize what they could do differently.Moreover， they learn how important it is to say “I’m sorry.” and also how important it is to pardon the other person.
　　In conclusion， teen friendships matter — a lot.17.（　　） By sharing， parents can not only help their teens win true friends， but also improve their parent-child relationships.
A.It can help friends stay calm.
B.Not all teen friendships last forever.
C.Parents should listen to what they say patiently.
D.They’re a huge part of growing into adulthood.
E.But that doesn’t mean the friendship has to end.
F.Moreover， they can do so without fear of being judged.
G.But they can talk to their teens about what friendship should feel like.
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了父母应该告诉青少年关于友情的一些事情。
13.G　上文指出家长不能操控青少年的友情，下文介绍了父母应该告诉青少年关于友情的一些事情。由此可知，设空处与上文内容形成转折关系，且与家长和孩子就交友方面进行沟通有关，故G项符合语境。G项中的they指代上文中的Parents， their teens呼应上文中的their teenagers， friendship呼应上文中的friends和friendships。
14.F　本部分指出友情是一种真实的联系。F项与空前一句对这种真实的联系作出了解释：让青少年开诚布公地说出自己的感受，且不用担心被评价。F项中的they指代上文中的teenagers， do so指代上文中的speak honestly and openly about how they are feeling。
15.B　B项（并不是所有的青少年友情都能天长地久）呼应本部分小标题Friendships Change，符合语境。B项中的teen， friendships， last与下文中的teens， Friendships， last是原词复现关系。
16.E　本部分指出青少年之间有矛盾很正常，青少年的友情可以帮助他们学会如何化解矛盾、谅解对方。由此可知，即使青少年之间有了争执，也并不意味着友情会结束，故E项符合语境。E项中的that指代上文中的have fights and disagreements。
17.D　本段是全文总结段，指出友情在青少年生活中很重要。根据空前一句可知，设空处应该与青少年友情的重要性有关，D项（它们是迈向成年的重要部分）符合语境。D项中的They指代上文中的teen friendships。

　　It’s true that everyone has his or her best friend.My best friend is Li Ping， who is a lively and easy-going girl in my class.Not only does she do well in her academic subjects， but she is also ready to help others.
　　Undoubtedly， what brings us together are common interests and hobbies.There are two things that we enjoy doing together： reading literary works and listening to classical music.More importantly， we share similar views on life and the world around us.
　　As emotional creatures， we human beings need family affection as well as friendship.Without friends， our lives would be like a wild desert.

　　Throughout my senior high life， one individual has shaped who I am today.I met Lily in the second semester of Grade 2.She came into my life after my chemistry teacher switched us to the same lab table.We became friends almost immediately and connected on a deeper level.
　　Before I met Lily， I was dealing with one of the lowest points of my life.And every day was a struggle for me when I got out of bed.However， she was there for me when my relationship with my family became difficult and my “friends” began spreading rumors about me.
　　Lily gave me the care and guidance to show me the way to be happy.She saw me develop into a whole new person.Without her， I am not sure where I would be today.I would not have got the joy she brought to my school life in Grades 2 and 3.

M：Good evening， everyone. Tonight I’ll recommend a children’s book called Hiznobyuti.The book was written by Claude Ponti.It is about a boy named Hiznobyuti.He is not good-looking.His parents and brothers and sisters always say， “He’s no beauty！”They say it so often that Hiznobyuti thinks it is his name.Wherever he goes， only embarrassment and shame await him. Later， Hiznobyuti hides himself away， working on his inventions， until one day he receives a message from the stars. After a fight with his family， Hiznobyuti decides to run away. During a beautiful adventure， he learns the secrets of the universe： how to communicate with trees and birds， how to wake up the sun， and how to see himself for who he truly is！ When he returns from his journey， Hiznobyuti’s family apologises for not understanding him. The book costs $16.79.It is suitable for children aged from 5 to 9. Altogether there are 35 pages. That’s all for tonight’s program. Thank you for your listening.

A
Three Books for a More Honest View of Parents
　　Nowadays， it seems there are two ways to write about parenthood. I am heartily sick of both. This year I’ve decided to hug books that are inspiring and honest， yet do not avoid the pleasures of parenthood.
　　Life Among the Savages　Shirley Jackson　　price：$15
　　Shirley Jackson， author of one of the most amazingly sinister novels of all time and of the short story The Lottery， also wrote two charming novels about raising her four children in an old farmhouse in rural Vermont. In Life Among the Savages， Jackson’s humor is as thrilling as her horror， and her children seem never to inspire in her anything worse than fond exasperation （恼怒）.
　　A Blind Man Can See How Much I Love You　　Amy Bloom　　price：$13.95
　　A Blind Man Can See How Much I Love You contains one of the most absolute expressions of a mother’s love in fiction. Much of it takes place in the waiting room of a gender-reassignment surgeon. It’s about a woman who is determined to be the mother that her child needs her to be. In this collection ordinary women rise to the occasion demanded by motherhood. They make mistakes but they generally succeed in making up for them.
　　Family Man　 Calvin Trillin　 price：$18
　　In his memoir （回忆录） Family Man， Calvin Trillin writes with humor about his wife and daughters. He gives what I think is the single most useful piece of parenting advice “Getting advice on the best way to bring up children is like getting advice on the best way to breathe sooner or later you’re probably going to forget it and go back to your regular old in-and-out.” Trillin gives the impression of being the best kind of husband.
语篇解读：本文是一篇应用文。文章介绍了三本关于父母之道的书籍。
21.Which book tells a story of raising children in the countryside？（　　）
A.The Lottery. B.Family Man.
C.Life Among the Savages. D.A Blind Man Can See How Much I Love You.

A.A humorous mother.
B.An operation.
C.Offering advice.

　　When my daughter Sara was in the fifth grade， she came to me with a problem. “Marcy hates me！” she cried “Because Kathy is my friend， too. She wants me to be her friend and nobody else’s. You talk to Marcy. You tell her that I want to be her friend， but I can have other friends， too！”
　　Oh！ I looked at her for a few moments， wondering how I got into this mess （困境）， when suddenly an idea came to me.
　　Picking up two baskets from the living room， I explained， “When everyone is born， he or she has a little basket.This little one here is yours. The big one is mine. As you grow，so does the basket. You can see your little basket is inside mine because when you were born， there were too many things you couldn’t do for yourself. I did everything you couldn’t do on your own.”
　　She nodded.
　　“Well， as you grew older and began to do some things on your own， I began placing a few more things in your basket. When you learned to tie your shoes， that went in your basket.”
　　She said softly， “I can tie my own shoes.”
　　“Right. As you grow older， there will be more and more things you must do on your own.” As I spoke， I gradually took her basket out of mine and handed it to her. “You will finally carry your own basket with things only you can do.”
　　She looked up at me and said， “I understand. There are some things that I have to do by myself because they are in my basket.”

24.What did the author feel when she heard her daughter’s problem？（　　）
A.Angry.　　　　　　 B.Happy.
C.Proud.　 D.Helpless.

25.What was Sara’s problem？（　　）
A.She didn’t have a basket.
B.She couldn’t deal with her friendship.
C.She didn’t want her own basket.
D.Her mother was too hard on her.

　　Young adults often have a lot to learn in school. However， occasionally， the life skills needed for them to become successful outside of school aren’t learned. This may be why the years after high school can sometimes be the most uneasy and tense times for young adults.
　　Some may say that life skills are to be taught by their parents rather than school， but that’s not exactly true. Some students don’t have a parent figure to teach them the necessary knowledge needed. As a result， they rely on school to provide them with those. This is why related courses should be set up in high schools.
　　Over the course of history， students generally go to an educational institution of some sort to find themselves spending their entire time learning math and science， instead of what is required for real world — communication， which is through behaviors and manners. Manners are important when having a conversation with family， friends， teachers perhaps or even employers.High schools should find a way to teach manners as a way for students to have respect and be open-minded when it comes to other individuals.
　　In addition， how to deal with finances is one of the major life skills for students. For people， especially young people， to live in today’s financial environment， knowledge of personal finance is a must. For example， schools educating students about building credit scores and keeping up with a credit card is helpful. However， educational institutions do not spend a good amount of time talking about the topic of money managing： paying taxes， mortgage， bills， insurance， etc. It is time to extend financial knowledge by making personal finance a required course at high schools and universities.
　　With the essential instructions of communication and financial management provided to the young adults， they will be more successful in their future lives.
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了学校向学生传授生活技能的必要性，学校应向年轻人提供沟通和财务管理的基本指导，使他们在未来的生活中获得更大的成功。
28.What does the underlined word “those” in Paragraph 2 refer to？（　　）
A.Life skills.　 B.Parent figures.
C.Subject courses.　 D.Adult experiences.
解析：A　代词指代题。根据第二段第一、二句可知，有些人认为生活技能应该由父母而不是学校教授，但有些学生不能得到家长的教育。因此画线词所在句表示他们便会习惯性地依赖学校向他们传授那些生活技能。those指代上文提到的life skills。
29.What does the author advise schools to teach students？（　　）
A.Skills of making money.
B.The communication ability.
C.The history of their country.
D.Ways to study math and science.
解析：B　细节理解题。根据第三段和最后一段内容可知，作者认为学校应该找到一种方法来教授礼仪，因为在现实生活中沟通能力很重要，因此作者是在建议学校教学生沟通能力。
30.What can be inferred from Paragraph 4？（　　）
A.It is easy to survive in today’s financial environment.
B.Most of the students don’t need to build credit scores.
C.Students are lacking in instructions of financial management.
D.Educational institutions spend much time on money managing.
解析：C　推理判断题。根据第四段最后两句可知，在财务管理方面，教育机构为学生做得并不够，现在是时候通过将个人理财作为高中和大学的必修课程来扩展金融知识了。由此可以推断出，学生缺乏财务管理方面的指导。
31.What is the best title for the text？（　　）
A.What Have Students Learned in School？
B.Why Should Parents Teach Kids Life Skills？
C.How Can Students Behave Well in Daily Life？
D.Why Should Life Skills Be Taught in School？
解析：D　标题归纳题。通读全文，尤其是根据第一段可知，学校向学生传授生活技能是很有必要的。再由最后一段可知，生活技能主要包括沟通能力的培养和财务管理的基本指导两方面，以使学生获得更大的成功。因此D项（为什么要在学校教授生活技能？）为文章的最佳标题。
D
　　Who needs friends？ According to most psychologists， we all do， especially nowadays when so many other aspects of modern life are changing. It seems that having friends keeps us both healthy and happy.
　　The number of TV series about groups of friends shows just how important friendship is to us. Psychologist Dorothy Rowe says that many of us now turn to our friends， instead of our families， for advice and comfort. One woman named Rebecca she interviewed even told her that if she had got to choose between her husband and her friend， she would choose her friend.
　　Since our friends mean so much to us， it is not surprising that the happiest marriages are also friendships. “Once the romantic stage of a relationship has passed， it is friendship that holds people together，” says Rowe. “If the couple do not make some changes， they will either get tired of each other and break up or stay together and look for friendship with others.”
　　For men， friendship is usually based on doing things together rather than the private conversations that are typical of women friends. Men share time and activities like building a business or playing football together， but they don’t often share their feelings. Although many women find their relationship with a husband or boyfriend is not enough， many men say that their partner is their best friend. Even women who are very happily married are likely to become very unhappy without a close friend and can even find the break-up of a close friendship as painful as the end of a marriage.
　　Lasting friendships can provide a lot of the same support that families provided in the past， but the perfect situation is to have your family there for you as well. Friendships and family relationships can both change， but a friend will not consider you when making really important decisions in the same way that a family member will.
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了朋友的重要性。
32.The example of Rebecca in Paragraph 2 shows that some people think 　　　　.（　　）
A.one friend is more than enough
B.friends are just like their family
C.friends matter more than family
D.friends make them more comfortable
解析：C　推理判断题。根据第二段可知，许多人寻求建议和安慰时会选择朋友，而不是家人；Rebecca在选择丈夫和朋友的问题上会选择朋友。由此可推测出，有些人认为朋友比家人更重要。
33.What can we learn from the third paragraph？（　　）
A.Couples tend to be friends in a good marriage.
B.Couples will have new friendship after they get married.
C.Friendship helps couples build healthy relationships.
D.Friendship holds couples together when love has passed.
解析：A　推理判断题。根据第三段中Rowe说的话可推知，婚姻中夫妻两人做彼此的朋友是婚姻长久之道。
34.What is the main difference between men’s and women’s friendship？（　　）
A.Women often do things together with friends.
B.Men seldom talk to their friends about their feelings.
C.Women often talk about business with friends.
D.Men often talk to their friends about work and family.
解析：B　细节理解题。根据第四段前两句可知，男性的友谊基于共事，不太经常分享个人情感。
35.What can be inferred from the last paragraph？（　　）
A.Friendship cannot replace family relationships.
B.Friendship can last longer than family relationships.
C.Friendship and family relationships are both changeable.
D.Family members help you make better decisions than friends do.
解析：A　推理判断题。根据最后一段第一句可知，虽然朋友能够提供家庭般的支持，但家人最好也能在身边提供支持。由此可推知，友谊不能取代家庭关系。

　　Raising teenagers can be both difficult and rewarding.They are becoming young adults.Almost all teenagers will have some behavioral outbursts （爆发） with their families during this period of life.36.（　　） Here are some ideas that may create positive experiences for teens and parents.
　　Have meals together.Mealtime is when we check in with each other.37.（　　） Eating meals together offers a way for parents and kids to share what is on their minds.It brings families closer by creating trust and understanding to help guide children through the challenges of the teen years.
　　38.（　　） As teens develop their own sense of independence， it gets harder to find time to talk.Talk in the car together， when doing dishes together， or any time you have a chance.Remember that no matter how big their problems seem， what most teens want is love and support.Help them connect with their families and communities.During these years， help teens learn that their words and actions matter.39.（　　） Others may find connection through spiritual communities or from having more responsibilities at home.Connecting with families and communities also helps keep teens safe from riskier activities.
　　Find time to have fun together！ What do you both enjoy？Playing chess？Going to the ballet？Volunteering in your community？Take time to have fun and enjoy each other’s company.No one wants the attention of people they love to be focused only on what not to do.This is true for teenagers， too.40.（　　）
A.Talk with your teen.
B.Never try to control your child.
C.Parents have a role in keeping their teens safe.
D.Relaxing together helps them feel loved and valued.
E.This can be hard to do with busy schedules， but it is important.
F.Some teens learn this by playing in music bands or team sports.
G.But strong relationships can help teens and their parents through hard times.
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了牢固的亲子关系可以帮助青少年顺利度过叛逆期，并提出一些可以为青少年和父母创造积极体验的建议。
36.G　空前一句提及了青少年的“叛逆期”，他们会与家人发生一些行为上的冲突。设空处应呼应上文，继续讲述叛逆期，且提及如何度过这一时期。G项中的hard times指“叛逆期”，并提出牢固的关系可以帮助青少年和他们的父母度过困难时期，且在逻辑上与上文构成转折。
37.E　根据段落主旨句Have meals together.可知，该段的核心是“一起吃饭”，空后两句具体解释了家人一起吃饭对于青少年的重要性或者意义。E项（这在繁忙的日程中可能很难做到，但这很重要）符合语境，且E项中的This呼应上文，且but后的句子是下文的总结，与下文构成解释关系。
38.A　设空处为该段主旨句。根据空后一句可知，随着青少年独立意识的发展，找时间交谈变得越来越困难，需找机会聊天。由此可知，A项（和你的孩子谈谈）符合该段主旨。
39.F　空后一句提到了其他人的做法，其他人可能通过心灵社区或在家里承担更多的责任而找到联系。F项中Some与空后的Others相呼应，并与下文构成并列关系，且F项中的this指代上文的their words and actions matter。
40.D　本段首句提到了“共度欢乐时光”。空前两句提到了青少年也不喜欢自己所爱的人只关注不该做的事情。因此设空处应讲他们喜欢什么。D项（一起放松能让他们感受到被爱和被重视）符合语境，D项中的Relaxing together呼应本段主题，且D项解释了青少年喜欢“被爱”和“被重视”。

第二节（满分25分）
　　阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
　　Jenny was the only child in her family. She had a quarrel with her mother that afternoon and she ran out of the house angrily. She couldn’t help weeping sorrowfully when she thought of the scolding from her mother. Having wandered aimlessly in the street for hours， she felt a little hungry and wished for something to eat. She stood beside a stand （货摊） for a while， watching the middle-aged seller busy doing his business. However， with no money in hand， she gave a sigh and had to leave.
　　The seller behind the stand noticed the young girl and asked， “Hey， girl， you want to have the noodles？”
　　“Oh， yes， but I don’t have money on me，” she replied.
　　“That’s nothing. I’ll treat you today，” said the man， “Come in.”
　　The seller brought her a bowl of noodles， whose smell was so attractive. As she was eating， Jenny cried silently.
　　“What is it？” asked the man kindly.
　　“Nothing. Actually， I was just touched by your kindness！” said Jenny as she wiped her tears. “Even a stranger on the street will give me a bowl of noodles， while my mother drove me out of the house. She showed no care for me. She is so merciless compared to a stranger！”
　　Hearing the words， the seller smiled， “Girl， do you really think so？ I only gave you a bowl of noodles and you thanked me a lot. But it is your mother who has raised you since you were a baby. Can you remember the times she cooked for you？ Have you expressed your gratitude to her？”
　　Jenny sat there， speechless and numb with shock： she remembered her mother’s familiar face and weathered hands. “Why didn’t I think of that？ A bowl of noodles from a stranger made me feel grateful. Why haven’t I thanked my mum for what she has done for me？”
　　On the way home， Jenny made up her mind to make an apology to her mother for her rudeness as soon as she arrived home.
注意：1.续写词数应为150左右；
2.请按如下格式作答。
　　Nearing the doorway， Jenny took a deep breath. 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　
　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　
　　At that time， her mother came back and touched her hair gently， which called her mind back. 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　
　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　
参考范文：
　　Nearing the doorway， Jenny took a deep breath. When she pushed the door open and entered the house， she found her mother was not in. Tired and sad， she sank down into the sofa. “Where could my mother be？” she wondered. “Was she still angry with me？” Again， the scene of the quarrel appeared in her mind. She remembered her rudeness to her mother. Realizing that all the scolding from her mother was due to the fact that her mother really cared a lot about her， she felt rather ashamed， tears rolling down her cheeks.
　　At that time， her mother came back and touched her hair gently， which called her mind back. She raised her head and saw the familiar face of her mother. “Here you come！ I’ve been looking for you，” she said， fatigued but relieved. Jenny couldn’t help throwing herself into her mother’s arms. “Mum， I’m so sorry and thank you for all you have done for me.” she expressed her sincere apology and great gratitude. Hearing this， her mother smiled， patting her back gently. It dawned on Jenny that Mum’s love was invisible and intangible， but always surrounded us.

一、过去分词（短语）作状语的用法
1.过去分词（短语）作状语的类型

He stood there silently， moved to tears.
＝Moved to tears， he stood there silently.
他静静地站在那里，被感动地热泪盈眶。

二、过去分词（短语）作状语的注意事项
1.过去分词（短语）作状语时，有时为了强调，前面可带有连词，如： when， while， if， though， as if， unless等，构成“连词＋过去分词”结构，以使句意表达得更清楚。
Unless constantly repeated， the English words are easily forgotten.
这些英语单词很容易忘记，除非不断地重复（记忆）。
When asked why she came here， the girl kept silent.
当被问到为何来这儿时，那个女孩保持沉默。
He began to cry as if bitten by a snake.
他开始大叫起来，好像被蛇咬了。
2.过去分词（短语）作状语时，其逻辑主语必须与句子的主语保持一致，否则需加上自己的主语构成独立主格结构。
Employed in reading， he didn’t notice me come in.他专心读书，没有注意到我进来。
He was listening attentively in class， his eyes fixed on the blackboard.
他课上专心听讲，眼睛紧盯着黑板。（his eyes fixed on the blackboard为独立主格结构，fix的逻辑主语是his eyes）
3.有些形容词化的过去分词，作状语时不强调被动而重在描述主语的状态。这样的过去分词（短语）常见的有lost（迷失的），seated （坐下来的），hidden （隐藏的），lost/absorbed in （沉浸于），dressed in （穿着），tired of （厌烦）等。
Lost in thought， he didn’t hear the bell.
由于陷入沉思之中，他没有听到铃声。

④　The signal given　， the bus started at once.
信号一发出，公共汽车就立刻开动了。
三、过去分词与现在分词作状语的区别
过去分词作状语 过去分词所表示的动作与句子主语之间是逻辑上的动宾关系，即表示被动 过去分词所表示的动作往往发生于谓语动词所表示的动作之前，或表示“一种状态”，与谓语动词所表示的动作同时发生或存在
现在分词作状语 现在分词所表示的动作与句子的主语之间是逻辑上的主谓关系，即表示主动 现在分词的一般式表示的动作与谓语动词所表示的动作同时发生或几乎同时发生；现在分词的完成式表示的动作发生在谓语动词所表示的动作之前
Seen from the top of the tower， our city looks more beautiful.
从塔顶上看，我们的城市看起来更漂亮。（主语our city和see之间是被动关系）
Seeing from the top of the tower，we can get a wonderful view of our city.
从塔顶我们可以饱览城市的美景。（主语we和see之间是主动关系）
名师点津
过去分词与现在分词的完成被动式（having been done）作状语时，都具有被动意义，有时可以互换，但是having been done结构强调动作先于句子的谓语动词所表示的动作。
Examined carefully， the patient was sent to the operation room.
＝Having been examined carefully， the patient was sent to the operation room.
仔细检查之后，那个病人被送进了手术室。

Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
　　Have you ever been in mid-conversation with someone， when you look over and find them standing in the same position as you or holding the same facial expression？ It may seem like they have consciously （有意识地） copied you， but it is much more likely that it is the chameleon （变色龙） effect at play.
　　The chameleon effect is the unconscious imitation of another person’s gestures or behaviour.Just as a chameleon attempts to match any environment’s colours， people acquire the behaviour of others to bring them closer together and help make their interactions smooth.
　　The chameleon effect was confirmed in an experiment by psychologists John Bargh and Tanya Chartrand in 1999.The first part of their experiment included 78 people， who each spoke with an experimenter.During the test， Bargh and Chartrand studied whether participants would copy the actions of someone they hadn’t met before， like moving the foot and touching the face.The second part measured the impact that copying someone has on the person being imitated.
　　In the first stage， participants increased their face touching by 20％ and their foot movement by 50％ while in conversation about a photograph with the experimenter.The individuals weren’t aware of what they were being studied for， and the photograph was used to catch their attention to ensure unconscious acts.The second stage involved half of the participants being copied， and then rating the likeability of the experimenter.The results showed that those who were imitated scored the experimenter higher.It has shown that when someone copies our behaviour， we develop more positive feelings about them.These interactions could be a person unconsciously willing to be liked， and forming a moment of connection.
　　The main reasons behind humans’ imitation are positive.However， when people carry this chameleon effect to the extreme， they can lose their sense of self.Those who change their entire personalities in different groups often go undetected.But more common signs of the chameleon effect are easier to notice.Next time you are in a social gathering， take a look around and you might just see some chameleons for yourself.
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一项关于变色龙效应的研究，告诉我们人们通过习得他人的行为来拉近彼此之间的距离。

A.To match the environment’s colours.
B.To attract others’ attention.
C.To establish a connection with others.

解析：C　细节理解题。根据第二段中的people acquire the behaviour of others to bring them closer together and help make their interactions smooth可知，人们为了与他人建立联系，会习得他人的行为。
2.How did the experimenter guarantee participants’ unconscious behaviour？（　　）
A.By directing their attention to a photo.
B.By keeping a close eye on their actions.

3.What conclusion can be drawn from the experiment？（　　）
A.Too much of the chameleon effect can be beneficial.
B.People tend to like those who imitate their behaviour.
C.People imitating others are not easy to be detected.
D.The copied movements help people to feel relaxed.
解析：B　推理判断题。根据第四段中的It has shown that when someone copies our behaviour， we develop more positive feelings about them.可推断出，实验表明人们倾向于那些喜欢模仿自己行为的人。

A.A comedian copies a celebrity vividly on stage.
B.Students adopt teachers’ accents for fun after class.

B
　　Living in a modern society has its advantages and disadvantages. One disadvantage is that you often have to live closer to other people than you would like to. Sometimes， your neighbours make noise that you are not comfortable with.
　　The best way to solve this problem is to talk with your neighbour first. You should be very polite and ask your neighbour if he knows how thin the walls of your homes are. This way doesn’t criticise （批评） his behaviour； it simply points out that he may not realise how far his sound travels. Tell him that you know that sometimes you make noise as well， but that you do your best to keep it down. Often this will solve the problem right away， but sometimes the neighbour may become angry.
　　If your neighbour becomes angry with you， there are some more steps you can take. You might write a letter to the neighbourhood committee. Make sure you write down the source of the noise and the time in the letter. They will review the situation and decide whether your neighbour is out of line. Some noise is considered to be reasonable， even if it bothers you. So you may prepare a good pair of earplugs （耳塞）.
　　Even if your neighbour makes too much noise， you don’t have to live your life in discomfort. It’s always a good idea to be friendly with your neighbours. You may clean the rubbish in front of his door. He’s sure to appreciate behaviour like this and be more open to your suggestions about the noise level.
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了在现代社会中与邻居相处时可能遇到的噪音问题，并提出了解决这一问题的方法。
5.What is the first step to deal with the noisy neighbour？（　　）
A.To buy a good pair of earplugs.
B.To offer suggestions to the neighbour.
C.To ask the neighbourhood committee for help.
D.To tell the neighbour how bad his behaviour is.
解析：B　细节理解题。根据第二段内容可知，应对吵闹的邻居的第一步是礼貌地和他们交谈，委婉地给他们提出建议。
6.What does the underlined word “reasonable” in Paragraph 3 probably mean？（　　）
A.Terrible.　　　　　 B.Loud.
C.Proper.　 D.Useful.
解析：C　词义猜测题。画线词所在句中even if引导让步状语从句，表明主从句之间的转折关系，结合下文建议自己戴耳塞可推知，即使有些声音打扰了你，但它们是“合理的”。所以reasonable与proper同义，意为“合理的”。
7.What does the last paragraph mainly talk about？（　　）
A.You should control your noise as well.
B.You can live comfortably even if there is noise.
C.Your neighbour may be more friendly than you think.
D.You should offer some suggestions to your neighbour.
解析：B　段落大意题。根据最后一段第一句可知，即使有噪音，你也可以舒适地生活。

Ⅲ.语法填空
　　Would you like 24.　　　　　　 （get） in touch with your friends？ Do you send a text 25.　　　　　　 make a phone call？ A new study in the Journal of Experimental Psychology suggests that you 26.　　　　　　 （call） instead of 27.　　　　　　 （send） a text.Calling makes you feel more connected with your friends.
　　Scientists asked 200 people to reconnect with an old friend by email or by phone.Many people 28.　　　　　　 （think） that a phone call would be more awkward.But 29.　　　　　　 （actual）， hearing someone’s voice made the experience 30.　　　　　　 （good）.

语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一项新研究，建议人们和朋友联系时应该打电话而不是发短信。
24.to get　考查非谓语动词。would like to do sth想要做某事。故填to get。
25.or　考查连词。send a text和make a phone call之间为选择关系。故填or。
26.（should） call　考查虚拟语气。suggest作“建议”讲时，其后的宾语从句要用虚拟语气，即谓语用“（should＋）动词原形”的形式，其中should可以省略。故填（should） call。
27.sending　考查非谓语动词。根据空前的instead of可知，此处要用动词-ing形式作宾语。故填sending。
28.thought　考查动词的时态。结合上文的asked可知，此处要用一般过去时。故填thought。
29.actually　考查词形转换。分析句子可知，此处修饰整个句子，应用副词。故填actually。

31.on　考查介词。on the other hand“另一方面”。故填on。
32.it　考查代词。make＋it＋adj.＋to do sth为固定结构，it为形式宾语，真正的宾语为动词不定式短语to understand the true meaning of a conversation。故填it。
33.that/which　考查定语从句。设空处引导限制性定语从句，先行词为the words and punctuation，指物，定语从句中缺少主语，所以用that或which引导定语从句。故填that或which。

4 / 4Section Ⅳ　Writing an essay
Step 1　品教材范文
　　The Porcupine Dilemma is written by German philosopher Schopenhauer.The fable describes a group of porcupines gathering together to keep warm.If they get too close， their quills hurt each other， while if they move apart they feel cold.After trying several times， they find the ideal distance.The fable teaches us that there should be boundaries in interpersonal relationships.
　　Though it is an old fable， it casts a light on us even today.We all value friendship， but have you considered that we need boundaries with our friends？
　　One example from real life is like this.Once I thought friends should get close to each other， the closer the better.Ma Jing is the first friend I made at senior high.At first， I thought since we were friends， she had to share the same ideas as mine.So I always followed her， wanted to know her opinion on everything and tried to persuade her when she had a different idea.Soon， we started quarrelling.“You’re so annoying！” she shouted angrily after a quarrel.How could I become annoying？I felt hurt and discussed it with another friend.Then I realised it was my problem.I had been getting too close to her and leaving her no room for herself.Since then， I stopped following her so much and I found our friendship repaired.Now I have realised that friends need to have boundaries and respect each other， no matter how close we are.
In conclusion， in order to make our friendship last long， we have to find the proper distance between us and our friends， close enough to understand each other， far enough to respect each other.

I know you may not be interested in art， but I think you will like these works. They are all paintings I made during the days we spent together. I hope you can feel the friendship between us.”
