“I feel unlikable,lonely and hopeless,” said Lisa,a bright teenager from a loving home.“It seems that nobody wants to become my friend.What’s wrong with me ”
Like Lisa,many of us experience loneliness.The truth is that all people,no matter what their ages or characters are,experience loneliness at least sometimes.It’s healthy and natural to want to be around people who care.We all need others in our lives.
A wise man explains that if we want friends,we must be friendly and reach out to others.But it has risks.Because we are often afraid of rejection (拒绝),many of us are unwilling to reach out to others.We take a safer way and wait for others to make friends with us.But if we want friends,we’ve got to get beyond this.
If making friends is your goal as well,you need to consider the following two points.
Be willing to take the initiative (主动权).If you see someone who you would like to know,don’t wait for him/her to make the first move.Get close to him/her and begin a conversation.Let him/her know in a non-aggressive (无攻击性的) way that you are interested in being friends with him/her.
Ask questions.Start your first conversation by asking this possible friend what he/she likes to do or asking about his/her family.Be sure to ask questions that cannot be replied with “yes” or “no”.For example,don’t ask “Do you have a dog ” Instead,say “So,tell me about your pets.” Avoiding asking “yes” or “no” questions makes your possible friend not end your communication with a one-word answer.
【语篇导读】 本文是说明文。文章介绍了交友的重要性和策略。
(　　)24.Why does the author begin the text with Lisa’s worry
[A]To set a sad tone.
[B]To share Lisa’s pain.
[C]To introduce the topic.
[D]To teach readers a lesson.
【答案】 C
【解析】 推理判断题。第一段描述了丽莎对交友的担忧:没有人想和她成为朋友。第二段前两句从丽莎谈到所有人,进而引出本文的主题:如何交到朋友。所以作者以丽莎的担忧作为文章的开头是为了引出文章主题。故选C。
(　　)25.What can be a risk caused by reaching out to others according to the passage
[A]Being refused by others.
[B]Putting ourselves in danger.
[C]Being treated in a rude way.
[D]Losing interest in communicating.
【答案】 A
【解析】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“But it has risks...are unwilling to reach out to others.”可知,主动与他人接触可能会有被别人拒绝的风险。故选A。
(　　)26.What can we know from Paragraph 5
[A]Shy people are hard to talk to.
[B]Popular people are often easy-going.
[C]Just waiting for chances will waste our time.
[D]A proper way is important in making friends.
【答案】 D
【解析】 细节理解题。根据第五段内容尤其是最后一句可知,正确的交友方式很重要。故选D。

[B]Because it will leave a bad first impression.
[C]Because it shows the poor quality of the speaker.
[D]Because it isn’t good for keeping a conversation going.
【答案】 D
【解析】 推理判断题。根据最后一段的最后一句可推知,作者建议不要问以“是”或“否”来回答的问题,因为这种问题不利于谈话的持续进行。故选D。
C
Research has shown that human beings are dependent in nature.We therefore depend on each other to survive in life.The interdependence of people therefore leads to development of interpersonal relationships that are built with the aim of making life better and building frameworks for success.
Relationships are common phenomena in the society and they are found everywhere in families,schools,workplaces,professional teams,etc.Each kind of relationship has its own requirements and unofficial rules and each individual relates with a second individual in a unique way depending on the characters of the two individuals.Since there is no perfect society,relationships are built under very strong foundations of mistakes and compromises.
Other people may conduct research on how they are supposed to relate to people,but this has seldom worked for people.Therefore,the strongest relationships are built through people relating with each other and knowing each other with time.
Since the society is made up of people,they are the key determinants(决定性因素) of how their society will be.Thus,for a society to be a good one,the people living in it should relate well and solve differences properly.The achievement of this goal may prove not to be given direct answers,but with persistence and goodwill,a good society is achievable.The people living in the society just have to wish each other well and be willing to help each other as humanly as possible.
The development of a good relationship among human beings living together is of great importance to both the people and the community.It is common knowledge that when individuals in a given community or organisation fall out in public,it is the organisation that suffers more than the people involved.With this kind of statement,one may even wonder why people have to disagree with their society causing losses that may be financial or otherwise.
Building a relationship acts as an investment (投资) or even insurance against bad lucks.As a matter of fact,keeping good relationships between and among people costs a lot of offerings.This is because nobody is perfect and thus to own a good relationship with other people,there has to be compromises.
【语篇导读】 本文是说明文。文章主要说明了人与人之间相互依赖、联系,形成社会关系,这种关系是随着时间的发展而不断发展的。因此,为了构建一个良好的社会,人与人之间要相互帮助,相互理解,相互妥协,这样才能实现共同进步。
(　　)28.Which word can be used to describe people’s survival in the society
[A]Dependent. [B]Independent.
[C]Indifferent. [D]Aggressive.
【答案】 A
【解析】 细节理解题。根据第一段的前两句可知,人们在社会上的生存是相互依赖的。故选A。
(　　)29.What does the underlined word “compromises” mean in Paragraph 2
[A]Sideways. [B]Opportunities.
[C]Middle ways. [D]Branches.
【答案】 C
【解析】 猜测词义题。根据第二段的第二句以及画线词所在句可知,每个人的性格不同,每个人都以一种独特的方式与第二个人联系,因此不存在完美的社会,人际关系是建立在错误和妥协的坚实基础之上的。故画线词意为“折中;妥协”。故选C。
(　　)30.What is the key of the best relationship according to the passage
[A]Having the same age.
[B]Enjoying the same hobby.
[C]Living in the same community.
[D]Building a steady relationship over a long time.
【答案】 D
【解析】 细节理解题。根据第三段的最后一句可知,最佳关系的关键是建立长期稳定的关系。故选D。
(　　)31.What is the main idea of the passage
[A]Requirements of each relationship.
[B]Development of a good relationship.
[C]Ineffective research about relationships.
[D]Reasons of building a harmonious relationship.
【答案】 B
【解析】 主旨大意题。通读全文可知,文章主要说明了人与人之间相互依赖、联系,形成社会关系,这种关系是随着时间的发展而不断发展的。因此,为了构建一个良好的社会,人与人之间要相互帮助,相互理解,相互妥协,这样才能实现共同进步。由此可知,这篇文章的主旨是发展良好的关系。故选B。
D
Point in the direction of food on the kitchen door,and your dog will follow your guidance to eat it up.That is a skill even our closest relative in the animal kingdom cannot match.
“Chimps (黑猩猩) can perform much better than dogs on so many things,” said Brian Hare,a professor at Duke University.“But they’re not particularly good at understanding cooperative communicative gestures.” Previous studies have shown conflicting results about whether both dog and wolf puppies (幼崽) can read human gestures.So Hare’s team compared a group of young dogs with their wild cousins to test the question out.
The dog puppies were service-dogs-in-training,and most of them were raised by a nonprofit organisation.Like other young puppies,they engaged in human interaction sometimes throughout the day,and they were still looked after by their mother.The young wolves,on the other hand,were separated from their mother 10 or 11 days after they were born,and they were around human handlers 24/7,living at the Wildlife Science Center.
The scientists put 44 dog puppies and 37 wolf puppies,all between 5 and 18 weeks old,through a series of tests and challenges.In one task,researchers placed a treat in one of the two bowls,and then pointed a finger at the bowl containing the snack three times.The dog puppies were twice as likely to understand where to go even though they had experienced far less human contact,and the researchers made sure the puppies were not just smelling the food.And in a separate test,the dog puppies were 30 times more likely to approach an unknown human and made significantly more eye contact with people than little wolves.
“The comparison of so many young dogs and wolves on a wide variety of tasks is very exciting,” said Angie Johnston,a researcher at Boston College,who was not involved with the new work.“It’s a very ambitious study.”
【语篇导读】 本文是说明文。文章主要介绍了幼犬的复杂认知能力——理解人类手势。
(　　)32.In which aspect did the experimental animals differ
[A]Their age.
[B]Their living conditions.
[C]The number of tests they took part in.
[D]The human gestures they were about to read.
【答案】 B
【解析】 细节理解题。根据第三段内容可知,实验动物在生活条件方面不同。故选B。
(　　)33.What can we learn from this study
[A]The dog puppies were less likely to get the treat.
[B]The dog puppies were more willing to interact with people.
[C]The wolf puppies weren’t as interested in the food as the dog puppies were.
[D]The wolf puppies weren’t so intelligent as dog puppies.
【答案】 B
【解析】 细节理解题。根据第四段的最后一句可知,我们能从这项研究中了解到幼犬更愿意与人类互动。故选B。
(　　)34.What is Angie Johnston’s attitude to the study
[A]Uncaring. [B]Uncertain.
[C]Supportive. [D]Confused.
【答案】 C
【解析】 推理判断题。根据最后一段内容可推知,Angie Johnston对这项研究的态度是支持的。故选C。
(　　)35.What would be the best title for the passage
[A]Reading Humans:Dog Puppies Outperform Wolf Puppies
[B]Chimps VS Dog Puppies:Who’s the Master of Gestures
[C]Interacting with Humans:Dog Puppies’ Secret to Understanding Gestures
[D]Dog Puppies’ Skill:Master Eye Contact for Food
【答案】 A
【解析】 标题归纳题。通读全文可知,本文的研究内容是对比幼犬和幼狼理解人类手势的能力,并得出幼犬的表现要更好一些的结论,本文是对A项提出的问题进行了回答,因此A项最适合作为本文的标题。故选A。

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。
Dusty,the Wonder Dog
When I was a kid,Uncle Nell and Aunt Frances,brought me a four-month-old puppy.She was half German shepherd,half collie.As her pink tongue tickled (挠痒) my face with wet licks,it was love at first hug.
My family named the puppy Dusty.Although I wanted to lay sole claim to her affection,in a family of seven kids,no one lays permanent claim to the family pet.
Dusty was our dog,not “my” dog.We soon realised that she had patience.My baby sister often transformed Dusty’s warm fur into a nap-time pillow—falling asleep on the rug.Like a protective mother,Dusty waited without moving until my sister woke.
Dusty doubled as a school crossing guard,too.Monday through Friday she’d walk us kids two blocks to St.Patrick’s Parochial,looking both ways to check for traffic before allowing us to cross the street.We’d wave good-bye as we entered the door,knowing Dusty would be waiting at the school door to claim us at the close of the school day.
Of all the contributions Dusty made to our family,one incident stands out far and above all others.Late one night Dusty rushed to my parents’ bedroom.She barked and barked.When she got no response,Dusty raced upstairs to my bedroom and my brothers’ bedroom and barked again and again.When she failed to fully wake us,she flew back down the steps and retimed to my parents’ room.Finally,she got Mum’s attention.
“What are you doing,Dusty ” Mum snapped,still halfway in dreamland.Dusty persisted.
Finally my mother gave in.“Okay,what is it ”
Dusty whined (哭嚷) and rushed out of Mum’s room.Thinking the dog needed to be let out to relieve herself,my mother followed Dusty to the front door.
When Mum opened the door to let her out,Dusty tore across the street,not stopping to do her business as my mother had assumed.Then she discovered what Dusty already knew.
注意:续写词数应为150个左右。

　　One possible version:
The house across the street,where my best friend Marianne lived,was on fire.All of Dusty’s middle-of-the-night craziness had served a purpose:she’s been trying to call for help.Dusty ran to Marianne’s front door,scratched the door and kept barking.My mother alerted the fire department immediately.Soon,the firemen in their trucks roared up the street,squelching the blaze and saving my best friend’s family from harm and their house from total ruin .Marianne’s mother thanked the firemen with tears and the firemen said it was my mother’s timely alarm call that saved them and their house .
However,my mother refused to take all the credit(赞扬).“It was Dusty,”she told the firefighters.“She saved them.Not me.”It was then that we saw that the real hero was sitting beside me silently.I put my arms around her neck and kissed her square on the tip of her wet nose.“Thank you for saving Marianne,” I whispered into Dusty’s tan and black ear.“You’re the bravest dog I’ve ever known.” Dusty wagged her tail and licked my face.That old familiar rush of puppy love overtook me.I smiled and promised to let her sleep in my bed for the rest of her life.

“I feel unlikable,lonely and hopeless,” said Lisa,a bright teenager from a loving home.“It seems that nobody wants to become my friend.What’s wrong with me ”
Like Lisa,many of us experience loneliness.The truth is that all people,no matter what their ages or characters are,experience loneliness at least sometimes.It’s healthy and natural to want to be around people who care.We all need others in our lives.
A wise man explains that if we want friends,we must be friendly and reach out to others.But it has risks.Because we are often afraid of rejection (拒绝),many of us are unwilling to reach out to others.We take a safer way and wait for others to make friends with us.But if we want friends,we’ve got to get beyond this.
If making friends is your goal as well,you need to consider the following two points.
Be willing to take the initiative (主动权).If you see someone who you would like to know,don’t wait for him/her to make the first move.Get close to him/her and begin a conversation.Let him/her know in a non-aggressive (无攻击性的) way that you are interested in being friends with him/her.
Ask questions.Start your first conversation by asking this possible friend what he/she likes to do or asking about his/her family.Be sure to ask questions that cannot be replied with “yes” or “no”.For example,don’t ask “Do you have a dog ” Instead,say “So,tell me about your pets.” Avoiding asking “yes” or “no” questions makes your possible friend not end your communication with a one-word answer.
【语篇导读】 本文是说明文。文章介绍了交友的重要性和策略。

[A]To set a sad tone.
[B]To share Lisa’s pain.
[C]To introduce the topic.
[D]To teach readers a lesson.
(　　)25.What can be a risk caused by reaching out to others according to the passage
[A]Being refused by others.
[B]Putting ourselves in danger.
[C]Being treated in a rude way.
[D]Losing interest in communicating.
(　　)26.What can we know from Paragraph 5
[A]Shy people are hard to talk to.
[B]Popular people are often easy-going.
[C]Just waiting for chances will waste our time.
[D]A proper way is important in making friends.
(　　)27.Why does the author suggest not asking “yes” or “no” questions
[A]Because it is considered unfriendly.
[B]Because it will leave a bad first impression.
[C]Because it shows the poor quality of the speaker.
[D]Because it isn’t good for keeping a conversation going.
C
Research has shown that human beings are dependent in nature.We therefore depend on each other to survive in life.The interdependence of people therefore leads to development of interpersonal relationships that are built with the aim of making life better and building frameworks for success.
Relationships are common phenomena in the society and they are found everywhere in families,schools,workplaces,professional teams,etc.Each kind of relationship has its own requirements and unofficial rules and each individual relates with a second individual in a unique way depending on the characters of the two individuals.Since there is no perfect society,relationships are built under very strong foundations of mistakes and compromises.
Other people may conduct research on how they are supposed to relate to people,but this has seldom worked for people.Therefore,the strongest relationships are built through people relating with each other and knowing each other with time.
Since the society is made up of people,they are the key determinants(决定性因素) of how their society will be.Thus,for a society to be a good one,the people living in it should relate well and solve differences properly.The achievement of this goal may prove not to be given direct answers,but with persistence and goodwill,a good society is achievable.The people living in the society just have to wish each other well and be willing to help each other as humanly as possible.
The development of a good relationship among human beings living together is of great importance to both the people and the community.It is common knowledge that when individuals in a given community or organisation fall out in public,it is the organisation that suffers more than the people involved.With this kind of statement,one may even wonder why people have to disagree with their society causing losses that may be financial or otherwise.
Building a relationship acts as an investment (投资) or even insurance against bad lucks.As a matter of fact,keeping good relationships between and among people costs a lot of offerings.This is because nobody is perfect and thus to own a good relationship with other people,there has to be compromises.
【语篇导读】 本文是说明文。文章主要说明了人与人之间相互依赖、联系,形成社会关系,这种关系是随着时间的发展而不断发展的。因此,为了构建一个良好的社会,人与人之间要相互帮助,相互理解,相互妥协,这样才能实现共同进步。
(　　)28.Which word can be used to describe people’s survival in the society
[A]Dependent. [B]Independent.
[C]Indifferent. [D]Aggressive.
(　　)29.What does the underlined word “compromises” mean in Paragraph 2
[A]Sideways. [B]Opportunities.
[C]Middle ways. [D]Branches.
(　　)30.What is the key of the best relationship according to the passage
[A]Having the same age.
[B]Enjoying the same hobby.
[C]Living in the same community.
[D]Building a steady relationship over a long time.
(　　)31.What is the main idea of the passage
[A]Requirements of each relationship.
[B]Development of a good relationship.
[C]Ineffective research about relationships.
[D]Reasons of building a harmonious relationship.

Point in the direction of food on the kitchen door,and your dog will follow your guidance to eat it up.That is a skill even our closest relative in the animal kingdom cannot match.
“Chimps (黑猩猩) can perform much better than dogs on so many things,” said Brian Hare,a professor at Duke University.“But they’re not particularly good at understanding cooperative communicative gestures.” Previous studies have shown conflicting results about whether both dog and wolf puppies (幼崽) can read human gestures.So Hare’s team compared a group of young dogs with their wild cousins to test the question out.
The dog puppies were service-dogs-in-training,and most of them were raised by a nonprofit organisation.Like other young puppies,they engaged in human interaction sometimes throughout the day,and they were still looked after by their mother.The young wolves,on the other hand,were separated from their mother 10 or 11 days after they were born,and they were around human handlers 24/7,living at the Wildlife Science Center.
The scientists put 44 dog puppies and 37 wolf puppies,all between 5 and 18 weeks old,through a series of tests and challenges.In one task,researchers placed a treat in one of the two bowls,and then pointed a finger at the bowl containing the snack three times.The dog puppies were twice as likely to understand where to go even though they had experienced far less human contact,and the researchers made sure the puppies were not just smelling the food.And in a separate test,the dog puppies were 30 times more likely to approach an unknown human and made significantly more eye contact with people than little wolves.
“The comparison of so many young dogs and wolves on a wide variety of tasks is very exciting,” said Angie Johnston,a researcher at Boston College,who was not involved with the new work.“It’s a very ambitious study.”

[B]Their living conditions.

[D]The human gestures they were about to read.
(　　)33.What can we learn from this study

[B]The dog puppies were more willing to interact with people.
[C]The wolf puppies weren’t as interested in the food as the dog puppies were.
[D]The wolf puppies weren’t so intelligent as dog puppies.
(　　)34.What is Angie Johnston’s attitude to the study

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。
Dusty,the Wonder Dog
When I was a kid,Uncle Nell and Aunt Frances,brought me a four-month-old puppy.She was half German shepherd,half collie.As her pink tongue tickled (挠痒) my face with wet licks,it was love at first hug.
My family named the puppy Dusty.Although I wanted to lay sole claim to her affection,in a family of seven kids,no one lays permanent claim to the family pet.
Dusty was our dog,not “my” dog.We soon realised that she had patience.My baby sister often transformed Dusty’s warm fur into a nap-time pillow—falling asleep on the rug.Like a protective mother,Dusty waited without moving until my sister woke.
Dusty doubled as a school crossing guard,too.Monday through Friday she’d walk us kids two blocks to St.Patrick’s Parochial,looking both ways to check for traffic before allowing us to cross the street.We’d wave good-bye as we entered the door,knowing Dusty would be waiting at the school door to claim us at the close of the school day.
Of all the contributions Dusty made to our family,one incident stands out far and above all others.Late one night Dusty rushed to my parents’ bedroom.She barked and barked.When she got no response,Dusty raced upstairs to my bedroom and my brothers’ bedroom and barked again and again.When she failed to fully wake us,she flew back down the steps and retimed to my parents’ room.Finally,she got Mum’s attention.
“What are you doing,Dusty ” Mum snapped,still halfway in dreamland.Dusty persisted.
Finally my mother gave in.“Okay,what is it ”
Dusty whined (哭嚷) and rushed out of Mum’s room.Thinking the dog needed to be let out to relieve herself,my mother followed Dusty to the front door.
When Mum opened the door to let her out,Dusty tore across the street,not stopping to do her business as my mother had assumed.Then she discovered what Dusty already knew.
注意:续写词数应为150个左右。
Paragraph 1:
The house across the street,where my best friend Marianne lived,was on fire.
Paragraph 2:
　　However,my mother refused to take all the credit (赞扬).
