The other day, my friend Sara was telling me about a relationship with her colleague that was broken beyond repair. The two of them had been close. And then one day, Sara had, with the best intentions, done something that her colleague had completely misunderstood and had taken offense at.
Things became worse. Sara didn’t know what to say or do. She didn’t know how to repair the relationship. She began to get angry at her colleague for misunderstanding her and judging her. She felt justified in her anger. The two of them still were not really speaking and certainly weren’t working together. The team, and their output, were suffering.
It was time to do something to rectify the situation. I asked Sara what she needed. After much thought, she told me that she needed her colleague to be willing to listen to her with an open mind, to at least consider that she hadn’t meant any harm by what she’d done and to apologize for taking things so seriously and making things so bad.
“Ah…” I said to her. “You want an apology.” I then asked her, “What do you think your colleague might want ” I asked.
She didn’t answer.
“Did you ever apologize ” I asked her. She shook her head no. “Do you think you might want to apologize ” I asked her. She shrugged her shoulders… then shook her head yes.
Sometimes we take so long to apologize. We justify our unwillingness, saying it won’t really make a difference. Or they should apologize first. Or we didn’t mean any harm and they misunderstood us. But I’ve found that an apology—a true, heartfelt apology—can work wonders. It can repair the unrepairable. It can fix just about anything.
4. What happened between Sara and her colleague
A．They decided to quit the job together.
B．They spoke ill of each other.
C．They were badly annoyed with each other.
D．They criticized each other’s poor work performance.
5. What does the underlined word “rectify” in paragraph 3 probably mean
A．Investigate. B．Correct. C．Maintain. D．Review.
6. What did the author advise Sara to do
A．Accept her colleague’s apology.
B．Wait for her colleague to apologize.
C．Apologize to her colleague first.
D．Justify herself to her colleague.
7. What is the author’s purpose in writing the passage
A．To stress the importance of an apology.
B．To explain how to apologize effectively.
C．To show how to respond to others’ apology.
D．To offer advice on getting along with colleagues.
C
We all love our parents and turn to them when we’re in need, but would you like them to hear the conversations you have with your friends in the school playground or lunch queue Social networking sites have become virtual extensions of the school hallways, so would you add your parents as “friends” and allow them to view your online activities and conversations with friends
In the past the generation gap included a technology gap, where children were up to date with the latest technology and parents were left behind, content to continue their day-to-day lives as they always had because they had no need to be tech-savvy. However, more and more parents are beginning to realize just how important social networks are in their lives. This realization has given many parents the motivation to educate themselves about social networking sites.
These days many people are attracted to social networking sites because they can choose who they have around them; there’s also a certain amount of control over privacy that we don’t get in real life. Sometimes we feel that privacy is violated when we must accept a “friend” request from a parent or family member.
It’s a difficult choice whether or not to allow a parent to become a part of our online lives. On the one hand we don’t want to “reject” their request because that might hurt their feelings or make them feel you have something to hide. On the other hand if you do accept, then you could have a sense of being watched and no longer feel free to comment or communicate the way you did before.
A recent survey suggested that parents shouldn’t take it personally if their child ignores their request: “ When a teen ignores a parent’s friend request, it doesn’t necessarily mean that they are hiding something, but it could mean that this is one part of their life where they want to exert their independence.”
Perhaps talking with parents and giving explanations would help soften the blow when you do choose not to add them to your friends list.
8. Many parents teach themselves social networks because ________.
A．they are not content with their daily life
B．they regard social networks important
C．they are curious to explore new technologies
D．they want to view their children’s online activities
9. What might be the reason for teens to reject their parents’ request
A．They can’t choose friends around them.
B．They have nothing to hide.
C．They don’t want to teach their parents.
D．Their privacy can not be guaranteed if so.
10. A recent survey suggested that ________.
A．teens value their privacy and independence
B．a teen’s rejection means they have something to hide
C．a teen’s rejection means nothing special
D．independence is everything teens desire
11. What is most likely to be talked about next
A．How to bridge the generation gap.
B．How to make friends on social networks.
C．How to explain to parents about the rejection.
D．How to use the social networking sites.
D
It’s a common debate between couples — the perfect temperature to keep both warm but not hot. And the temperature’s setting often forms the basis of office arguments between women and men about the “correct” temperature. Research does often show women prefer a higher indoor temperature, compared with men. But why do women feel the cold more
With the same body weight, women tend to have less muscle to produce heat. Women also have more fat between the skin and the muscles, so the skin feels colder, as it’s slightly further away from blood vessels. Women also tend to have a lower metabolic (新陈代谢) rate than men, which reduces heat production ability during cold exposure, making women more likely to feel cold as the temperature drops. Additionally, the hormones mainly found in women make women’s hands, feet and ears stay around three degrees Celsius cooler than men’s.
The phenomenon that women prefer warmer temperatures isn’t unique to humans. Studies on many species of birds and mammals report that males commonly gather in cooler areas where there is shade, while females and the young stay in warmer environments where there is sunlight. Male bats prefer to rest at the cool, high peaks of mountains, while females remain in the warmer valleys. Female mammals may have developed a preference for warmer climates to encourage them to rest with offspring (幼崽) during stages when the young are unable to regulate their own body temperature. So the difference between heat-sensing systems may provide an advantage.
Couples choosing separate blankets is one way to overcome the differences in temperature preferences. In the workplace, personal comfort systems are heating systems that heat or cool and can be locally placed in individual work stations such as desktops, chairs, or near the feet and legs. Examples include small desk fans, heated chairs and blankets, or footwarmers. These provide individualised thermal comfort (热舒适) to meet personal needs without affecting others in the same space, and have been found to produce higher comfort satisfaction in the workplace.
12. How does the author introduce the topic of the passage
A．By giving daily examples.
B．By analyzing office rules.
C．By mentioning an experiment.
D．By sharing a personal experience.
13. What can we know about women from paragraph 2
A．They have less fat than men.
B．Their skin usually feels warmer.
C．Their heart rate is higher than men.
D．They are more sensitive to cold.
14. Why does the author mention the studies on birds and mammals
A．To show their preference for cold.
B．To provide more evidence for the findings.
C．To introduce the system of keeping warm.
D．To inform us of a new scientific debate.
15. What can be a suitable title for the passage
A．Women have an advantage.
B．Why do women feel cold more
C．How do we agree on the ideal temperature
D．Biological differences between men and women.
七选五
If a good friend is keeping their distance and you want to reach out to them, the best approach is openness, honesty, and a willingness to understand your friend’s feelings. 16 Here are some specific steps to get a friend back.
17
There is most likely a specific reason for the gap of your friendship. Consider the situation as objectively as you can. Even if you feel wronged by your friend, consider the possibility that somewhere along the line you have also hurt them in ways that you weren’t aware of.
Be aware of other reasons.
If there seems to be no clear reason for your friend’s distance, don’t jump to conclusions. It may have nothing to do with you. 18 A failure in a test, a different opinion from others or a quarrel between parents can all affect your friend, which temporarily keeps him/her away from you.
Think about what you want to say in advance.
If you feel you need to apologize, be specific about what you’re apologizing for. Make sure it’s sincere: what are you really sorry about For example, if you’ve been ignoring your friend because you’re spending all your time with a new friend, it isn’t appropriate to apologize for spending time with this other person. 19
Call your friend or ask to meet.
20 Body language can communicate a lot more than just your voices and may help avoid misunderstandings. If you ask to meet, try to avoid unclear phrases like, “We need to talk. ” These can put your friend on the defensive. Instead, try a more emotionally rooted approach like, “I miss you,” or “I was just hoping we could spend a little time together. ”
A．Reflect on what happened.
B．Talk about things that you’d like to change.
C．It’s probably best to have a face-to-face talk if you can.
D．Your friend might have something else troubling them.
E．Instead, say sorry that you haven’t been making time for your friend.
F．Both of you might need time to process what the other has said.
G．Take your time, be thoughtful, and hopefully you can repair the damage.

五、书面表达
47. 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。
Jennifer, a middle school student, was in Mr Green’s class. After only a month at school, she began to be home on a regular basis asking for plenty of crayons, paper, etc. At first, her mother, Sophia, just dutifully provided whatever she needed, never questioning her.
After ongoing requests for the items for several weeks, Sophia became concerned and asked her, “Jennifer, what are you doing with your stationery (文具) ” However, Jennifer would always respond with an answer that satisfied Sophia.
One day, after supplying the same things to Jennifer, Sophia seriously asked her once again, “Jennifer! What is exactly going on with your stationery ” Knowing her excuses would no longer work, Jennifer bent her head and kept silence. With her mind filled with confusion, Sophia lifted her daughter’s chin and looked into her eyes, asking, “What is wrong Are you making money by reselling school supplies ” Sophia waited for what seemed like a long time for Jennifer to answer.
“Mom,” Jennifer said, “I’ve known a boy, called Jack, who is a student in the nearby school sponsored by a charity. He is an immigrant and has two brothers. He doesn’t have enough stationery to do his work. He only has two crayons to color with, and his art paper is messy. I have been putting the new stationery you bought me in his desk before the others came in, so he still doesn’t know I gave it to him. Our teacher, Mr Green, always told us to be an honest person. I knew I didn’t do it. Mom, don’t be angry. I didn’t mean to tell you a lie, but I didn’t want anyone to know it was me.”
Sophia stood there in disbelief. Jennifer had took on the role of an adult and tried to hide her good intentions. Sophia hugged Jennifer tightly, saying, “Baby, I will never get mad at you for wanting to help someone, but why didn’t you just come and tell me ” This time, Sophia did not have to wait for her quick answer, but decided to act.

On the Use of Artificial Intelligence
Dear classmates,
Our group has discussed the pros and cons of AI.
On one hand, AI brings great convenience. It helps us finish homework quickly and look up information efficiently. On the other hand, over-reliance on AI will make us lazy and weaken our independent thinking ability.
In our opinion, we should make proper use of AI instead of depending on it completely.

The next day, Sophia told Mr Green what Jennifer had said, and invited him to visit Jack’s family together. After school, they went to Jack’s small house. They saw Jack’s poor living conditions and learned the family struggled to afford daily supplies. Sophia bought a big box of stationery for Jack, while Mr Green promised to provide free art materials for Jack every month. Jack was touched deeply, though he still didn’t know Jennifer was the secret helper.
The acts of Sophia and Mr Green unexpectedly set off a wave of donations in Jennifer’s school. Mr Green shared Jennifer’s warm story with all students. Inspired by Jennifer’s kindness, students donated unused crayons, notebooks and pens to the charity school. A donation corner was built in the classroom. Jennifer felt proud that her small kindness grew into a big warm movement. She realized that sharing love openly could bring more warmth to the world.
