第一节(共15小题；每小题2分，共30分)

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

Dear Michelle,

My Dad hates my Mom. He tells me that she is a liar and that I should not trust her. Of course, they are divorced but they have “joint custody” (共同监护). What a joke! I am a 15-year-old girl, my brother is 9, and we have a life of hell, frankly.

We live one week on and one week off. This was the “brilliant” idea of both of my parents, which was fair to them but ruining my life. I cannot get away from his voice and his putting my mom down. Sometimes I think about running away. What should I do?

A Hopeless Ant

Dear Hopeless Ant,

First, thank you for trusting me with your problem. If all you said is correct, then there are several things that you can and should do to help yourself, your brother, and oddly enough, your parents.

You need a family counselor. Such a person could listen to each family member alone and then meet together to talk about the situation.

If refused, you need to talk to a counselor in your school. You need to be heard, and you need an adult who will listen. A school counselor can organize a meeting with your parents.

Perhaps you need to write to your mother. Writing things down allows people to

go over it more than one time.

I cannot imagine that she will stand passively by and do nothing at all to help once she reads how you feel. Your father needs a letter as well. He may not realize the destructive effect that it has on his children.

Lastly, have a plan in mind when all else fails that is not self-destructive. Life passes very quickly, sweet heart, and you will grow up and have your own life.

Until then, you need to keep yourself safe. Never doubt that it will get better. Write back and let me know how everything is going.

Michelle

【小题1】The Hopeless Ant wrote the letter to _____.

A. explain her worries

B. ask for advice

C. describe her family

D. express dissatisfaction

【小题2】The Hopeless Ant hated her father because he_____.

A. often told lies

B. divorced her mother

C. didn’t love his children

D. wasn’t friendly to her mother

【小题3】In which part of a magazine will the text probably appear?

A. Life.

B. Advertisement.

C. Entertainment.

D. Education.

When asked to point out one or two things that are most important to themselves, many put friends ahead of homes, jobs, clothes and cars.

A true friendship carries a long history of experience that determines who we are and keeps us connected. It is a treasure we should protect. Unfortunately, the better friends you are, the more probably you’ll have disagreements. And the result can be what you don’t want an end to the relationship.

The good news is that most troubled friendships can be mended. First, don’t let your pride get in your way. Most of us can forgive each other when differences are brought out in the open. Second, apologize when you’re wrong –even if you’ve been wronged. Over the course of a friendship, even the best people make mistakes. Sometimes, it may be best if the wronged person takes the lead and apologizes. When you apologize, give your friend a chance to admit that he has been wrong. Third, see things from your friend’s point of view. And finally, accept that friendships change as our needs and lifestyles change. Making friends can sometimes seem easy. The hard part is keeping the connections strong during the natural ups and downs that have an effect on all relationships. My suggestion: Consider friendship an honor and a gift, and worth the effort to treasure and nurture.

【小题1】What would be the best title for the text?

A. Easy Ways to Make Friends

B. Ups and Downs in Friendship

C. How to Mend a Troubled Friendship

D. How to Take the Lead in Making Friends

【小题2】The “wronged person” underlined in the text refers to a person _______.

A. who has been mistaken for another

B. who has been blamed unfairly

C. who has treated friends badly

D. who has admitted his mistakes

【小题3】According to the text a friendship can last long only if _______.

A. we have much in common

B. we know our friends’ mistakes

C. we treat our disagreements wisely

D. we have known one another for long

【小题4】What should we do if we follow the author’s second sug gestion?

A. Stick to our own prints of view

B. Avoid making mistakes

C. Make an apology first

D. Change our lifestyles

【答案】

【小题1】C

【小题2】B

【小题3】C

【小题4】C

【解析】

试题分析: 本文主要讲述友谊越深厚，就越可能有分歧，如何去挽救处于崩溃边缘的友谊【小题1】C主旨题：本文主要讲述如何去挽救处于崩溃边缘的友谊，故选C项。

【小题2】B猜词题：根据划线部分的下一句“When you apologize, give your friend a chance to admit that he has been wrong.”可知你道歉的时候，会给对方一个机会去承认自己的错误，由此可知，先道歉的这个人并不是犯错的人，应该是被冤枉的人，因此 B 项为正确选项

【小题3】C细节题：根据第三段第三句“Most of us can forgive each other when differences are brought out in the open.”可知如果大家能把分歧坦白地讲出来，还是能够互相原谅，挽救这段友谊的，故 C 项为正确选项

【小题4】C细节题：根据第三段的第四及第六句“Second, apologize when you're

wrong...takes the lead and apologizes.”可知我们应学会首先道歉，故 C 项为正确选项考点：考查人生百味类短文

Can dogs and cats live in perfect harmony in the same home? People who are thinking about adopting a dog as a friend for their cats are worried that they will fight.

A recent research has found a new recipe of success. According to the study, if the cat is adopted before the dog, and if they are introduced when still young (less than 6 months for cats, a year for dogs), it is highly probable that the two pets will get along swimmingly. Two-thirds of the homes interviewed reported a positive relationship between their cat and dog.

However, it wasn’t all sweetness an d light. There was a reported coldness between the cat and dog in 25% of the homes, while aggression and fighting were observed in 10% of the homes. One reason for this is probably that some of their body signals were just opposite. For example, when a cat turns its head away it signals aggression, while a dog doing the same signals submission.

In homes with cats and dogs living peacefully, researchers observed a surprising behavior. They are learning how to talk each other’s language. It is a surprise that cats can learn how to talk ‘dog’, and dogs can learn how to talk ‘cat’.

What’s interesting is that both cats and dogs have appeared to develop their intelligence. They can learn how to read each other’s body signals, suggesting that the two may have more in common than we previously suspected. Once familiar with each other’s presence and body language, cats and dogs can play together, greet each other nose to nose, and enjoy sleeping together on the sofa. They can easily share the same water bowl and in some cases groom (梳理) each other.

The significance of the research on cats and dogs may go beyond pets---to people who don’t get along, including neighbors, colleagues at work, and even world superpowers. If cats and dogs can learn to get along, surely people have a good chance. 【小题1】The underlined word “swimmingly” in Para.1 probably means _____.

A. early

B. sweetly

C. quickly

D. carefully

【小题2】Some cats and dogs may fight when ______.

A. they are cold to each other

B. they look away from each other

C. they are introduced at an early age

D. they misunderstood each other’s signals

【小题3】It is suggested in Para.4 that cats and dogs ______.

A. have common interests

B. have a common body language

C. are less different than we thought

D. are less intelligent than we expected

【小题4】What can we human beings learn from cats and dogs?

A. We should learn to live in harmony.

B. We should know more about animals.

C. We should live in peace with animals.

D. We should learn more body languages.

【小题2】D细节题。根据第二段第3行One reason for this is probably that some of their body signals were just opposite.说明猫和狗不能好好相处的原因是他们的肢体信号所表达的意思是相反的，会引起对方的误解，故选D项。

【小题3】C推理题。根据第4段They can learn how to read each other’s body signals, suggesting that the two may have more in common than we previously suspected.说明猫和狗身上的差别要比我们预料的要少，共同点比预料的要多，故C项内容正确

【小题4】A推理题。根据文章最后一行If cats and dogs can learn to get along, surely

people have a good chance.说明如果猫和狗都能和平相处，那么我们人类更应该和谐的生活在一起。故A正确。

Why texting harms your IQ

The regular use of text messages and e-mails can lower the IQ more than twice as much as smoking marijuana (大麻). That is the statement of researchers who have found that tapping away on a mobile phone or computer keypad or checking for electronic messages temporarily knocks up to 10 points off the user’s IQ. This rate of decline in intelligence compares unfavorably with the four-point drop in IQ associated with smoking marijuana, according to British researchers, who have described the phenomenon of improved stupidity as “infomania”. The research conducted by Hewlett Packard, the technology company, has concluded that it is mainly a problem for adult workers, especially men.

It is concluded that too m uch use of modern technology can damage a person’s mind. It can cause a constant distraction of “always on” technology when employees should be concentrating on what they are paid to do. Infomania means that they lose concentration as their minds remain fixed in an almost permanent state of readiness to react to technology instead of focusing on the task in hand. The report also added that, in a long term, the brain will be considerably shaped by what we do to it and by the experience of daily life. At a microcellular level, the complex networks of nerve cells that make up parts of the brain actually change in response to certain experiences.

Too much use of modern technology can be damaging not only to a person’s mind, but to their social relationship. 1100 adults were interviewed during the research. More than 62 per cent of them admitted that they were addicted to checking their e-mails and text messages so often that they scrutinized work-related ones even when at home or on holiday. Half said that they always responded immediately to an email and will

even interrupt a meeting to do so. It is concluded that infomania is increasing stress and anxiety and affecting one’s characteristics. Nine out of ten thought that colleagues who answered e-mails or messages during a face-to-face meeting were extremely rude.

The effects on IQ were studied by Dr. Glenn Wilson, a psychologist at University of London. “This is a very real and widespread phenomenon,” he said. “We have found that infomania will damage a worker’s performance by reducing their mental sharpness and changing their social life. Companies should encourage a more balanced and appropriate way of working.”

【小题1】We can learn from the passage that “infomania” ______.

A. has a positive influence on one’s IQ

B. results in the change of part of the brain

C. lies in the problem of lack of concentration

D. is caused by too much use of modern technology

【小题2】The research mentioned in the passage is most probably about ______.

A. the important function of advanced technology

B. the damage to one’s brain done by unhealthy habits

C. the relevance between IQ and use of modern technology

D. the relationship between intelligence and working effectiveness

【小题3】The underlined word “scrutinized” probably means “______”.

A. examined carefully

B. copied patiently

C. corrected quickly

D. admitted freely

【小题4】Which of the following shows the structure of the passage?

A．

D ．

CP: Central Point P: Point Sp: Sub-point (次要点) C: Conclusion

Making Peace with Your Parents

As a teen, you’re going through big changes physically and mentally. Your interests are expanding.

Here is the challenge: Kids need to explore the world in new ways, and parents need to protect them from the dangers that are out in that world. These conflicts

can easily set off fireworks in oth erwise calm houses. Sometimes conflicts can’t

be avoided. But by paying attention to the building blocks of successful relationships,

you can work towards making home a happy and healthy place for you and your parents.

For instance, try to find a time to talk when your parents are not angry, tired, distracted, or hungry. A good time to talk is when you’re all relaxed. Timing is everything. If the conversation begins to turn into an argument, you’d better calmly

and coolly ask to stop the conversation -- for now. 72 Listen to what your parents are saying, and repeat it back to them. This shows them that you’re listening.

Respect is the building block of good communication. People who respect each other

and care about each other’s fee lings can disagree without things getting ugly. 74 How do you build trust? Trust comes by actually doing what you say you’re going to

do. Some teens find that doing fun activities with their parents can improve their relationships. Sometimes we forget that parents are more than rule-makers—they’re interesting people who like to watch movies, and go shopping—just like their teenagers!

What do you do if you are trying your best, but your relationship with your parents continues to be rocky? 75 You can find supportive adults, such as a teacher

or a coach, who can lend an ear.

Remember you can only change your own behavior; your parents are the only ones

who can change theirs.

A. It also gives them a chance to clear things up if you’re not on the same page.

B. You can pick it up again when everyone’s more relaxed.

C. And then you’ll be able to accept what your parents say.

D. Faced with the challenge, children don’t know what to do.

E. You are more likely to get along with your parents and have more independence

if your parents believe in you.

F. And your desire to take control of your own life is growing.

G. You may consider seeking outside help.

【小题3】A根据Listen to what your parents are saying, and repeat it back to them. This shows them that you’re listening.把父母说的话再重复一下，父母就会再考虑一下自己的做法，故选A。
