When employees would go into this person’s office to discuss something like a pay rise or promotion, the boss had a habit of greeting their request with silence. Quiet, tense seconds went slowly by, and they’d often leave, willing to take a pay cut or demotion (降职) — anything to end the terrible silence. Embarrassing silences can be unbearable. In 2017, a study found that silence in a talk starts to be unbearable after about four seconds. There’s so much uncertainty in the air as those silent seconds went slowly by. Did I say something wrong? Does this person hate me? Am I going to get fired? But it’s worth remembering that if you don’t know what to say or do, there is always the choice to do nothing. Uncomfortable silences aren’t necessarily a bad thing, depending on how you use them. For example, Katie Donovan is a supporter of the awkward-silence negotiating (谈判) technique. As she said, “The first step is to be silent or shut up!” If, for example, you are offered a starting salary of $40,000 when you know that the median salary for this position is $48,000, you can say something like this, “Thank you for the offer. I’m a little surprised about the salary, though. Based on my research I would have expected it to be in the $50,000 range.” It’s a good start; there is no phrase more quietly deadly in the business world than “I’m a little surprised”. But it only works if you say this — and then say nothing. During this pause, Donovan explains, the hiring manager is likely to try to work out how serious you are and how much more to offer. “Remember,” Donovan writes, “the hiring manager most likely will increase the salary during the meeting.” 4. What would the employees often do when they met with the boss’s silence? A. Keep silent. B. Get angry. C. Fight back. D. Give in. 5. What does the author say about silence in Paragraph 2? A. It is a basic part of communication. B. It gives people time for themselves. C. You don’t have to break it all the time. D. The meaning of it varies among people. 6. What does the underlined word “median” mean in Paragraph 3? A. Average. B. Highest. C. Final. D. Starting. 7. What should you do after saying “I’m a little surprised”? A. Give up your request. B. Keep silent for a while. C. Avoid making eye contact. D. Continue to give your reasons. 【答案】4. D 5. C 6. A 7. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了沉默是人们沟通的基本部分，一些情况下我们应该保持沉默。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“Quiet, tense seconds went slowly by, and they’d often leave, willing to take a pay cut or demotion (降职) — anything to end the terrible silence.”（安静、紧张的时间一秒一秒地过去，他们往往会离开，愿意接受减薪或降职——只要能结束可怕的沉默就行）可知，当员工遇到老板的沉默时，他们通常会屈服。故选D项。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“But it’s worth remembering that if you don’t know what to say or do, there is always the choice to do nothing. Uncomfortable silences aren’t necessarily a bad thing, depending on”（但值得记住的是，如果你不知道该说什么或做什么，你总是可以选择什么都不做。不舒服的沉默并不一定是坏事，取决于你如何使用它）可推知，关于沉默，作者认为你不需要总是打破它。故选C项。 【6题详解】 词义猜测题。根据第三段中“you can say something like this, “Thank you for the offer. I’m a little surprised about the salary, though. Based on my research I would have expected it to be in the $50,000 range.””（你可以这样说：“谢谢你的offer。不过我对薪水有点惊讶。根据我的研究，我原本预计它会在5万美元左右。”）可推知，四万八千美元应该是一个平均数，所以划线单词median意为“平均的”，与A项Average“平均水平”意思一致。故选A项。 【7题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“It’s a good start; there is no phrase more quietly deadly in the business world than “I’m a little surprised”. But it only works if you say this — and then say nothing.”（这是一个好的开始；在商业世界里，没有什么比“我有点惊讶”更能悄无声息地致命了。但只有你这样说，然后什么也不说，它才会起作用）可知，在说了“我有点惊讶”之后，你应该保持沉默一会儿。故选B项。 C Have you ever had a troubling problem that has left you wondering where to turn for help? Eve Hobsbawm is a life adviser. She offers advice to people struggling with all kinds of problems, from relationship difficulties to what to cook for dinner. She does this through a website inviting people to email her with their problems. There's nothing unusual about that, except for the fact that Eve is only eight years old. This junior trouble-shooter, who also goes by the name "Miss Evie Mouse" lives in London with her parents. Not only is Miss Mouse willing to lend an ear to her clients, she will also offer them a helping hand, for a fee of course. She charges between 10p for advice on little, everyday worries and ￡1 for more complicated problems. Her areas of expert knowledge, if not of experience, are problems about love, life and work-life balance. A problem shared is a problem halved, but Eve can't always help. A note on the site states that she can't answer questions like "Does space ever end?" and she won't solve schoolwork-related problems, especially not maths. She explained to the Guardian newspaper that she was inspired to set up the company by her father who runs a tech start-up. Eve said, "As soon as I saw his business and understood the kinds of things businesses do, I thought that's what I'm going to do." But since setting up her company in December she has been so overwhelmed with messages that she has had to take a step back. "There has been a lot of sudden interest in my site, which is nice," she says, "but I need to do my homework too, so I won't be solving any more problems for a bit." 8. Eve Hobsbawm is an unusual adviser because she__________. A. asks for fees for her advice B. is just a pupil at primary school C. is an expert in work-life balance D. answers questions on the Internet 9. What is people's attitude towards Eve's website? A Interested B. Disapproving C. Doubtful D. Unconcerned 10. Which of the following can best describe Eve? A. She has a lot of experience in life. B. She is very popular among students. C. She has a natural talent for business. D. She is warm-hearted and ready to help. 11. Where is the passage most likely to have been taken from? A. A book review. B. A speech. C. An advertisement. D. A news report. 【答案】8. B 9. A 10. C 11. D 【解析】 【分析】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了一个只有8岁的小女孩成为了一个不同寻常的顾问，她通过自己的网站帮助别人解决问题，她表示她的创业灵感来自于她爸爸。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“There's nothing unusual about that, except for the fact that Eve is only eight years old.”可知，Eve是一个不同寻常的顾问是因为她是一个只有8岁的小学生，故B项正确。 【9题详解】 观点态度题。根据最后一段中的“There has been a lot of sudden interest in my site, which is nice”可知，人们对她的网站很感兴趣，故A项正确。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中的“As soon as I saw his business and understood the kinds of things businesses do, I thought that's what I'm going to do.”可知，Eve一看到爸爸的公司和了解所有的业务就知道这是她要做的，由此可知她很有经商天赋，故C项正确。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。本文讲述了一个只有8岁的小女孩通过自己的网站帮助别人解决问题的故事，再结合倒数第二段中的“She explained to the Guardian newspaper”可知，《英国卫报》也采访过Eve，由此推知本文可能来自一篇新闻报道，故D项正确。 【点睛】阅读理解中的观点态度一般不会直接表明，而是通过某人的一句话或几句话来体现，考生们一定要善于捕捉这些信息，比如本篇第2题，通过Eve 的话“There has been a lot of sudden interest in my site, which is nice”可判断出人们对她的网站很感兴趣。 D Sure, it’s good to get along well with your teacher because it makes the time you spend in the classroom more pleasant. And yes, it’s good to get along well with your teacher because, in general, it’s smart to learn how to get along well with the different types of people you’ll meet throughout your life. In fact, kids who get along well with their teachers not only learn more, but they’re more comfortable with asking questions and getting extra help. This makes it easier for them to understand new materials and makes them do their best on tests. When you have this kind of relationship with a teacher, he or she can be someone to turn to with problems, such as problems with learning or school issues (问题). Here is a question: What if you don’t get along with your teachers? In fact, teachers want to get along well with you and enjoy seeing you learn. But teachers and students sometimes have personality clashes (个性冲突), which can happen between any two people. If you show your teacher that you want to make the situation better, he or she will probably do everything possible to make that happen. By dealing with a problem like this, you learn something about how to get along with people who are different from you. However, if a certain teacher isn’t your favorite, you can still have a successful relationship with him or her , especially if you fulfill (履行) your basic responsibilities as a student. Here are some of those responsibilities： Attend class ready to learn. Be prepared for class with the right stationery, books, and completed assignments (作业). Listen when your teacher is talking. Do your best, whether it’s a classroom assignment, homework, or a test. 12. According to the passage, what will happen to you when getting along well with your teachers? A. We will have no problems with study. B. We will get a better seat in the classroom. C. We will get the best scores in the exams. D. We will have more pleasant time in the classroom. 13. What does the underlined word “that” refer to in the fourth paragraph? A. The happy time you have in the classroom. B. Getting along very well with classmates. C. A better relationship between you and your teacher. D. The disappearance of personality differences. 14. As a student, what will you do if you don’t like a certain teacher? A. You fulfill your basic responsibilities as a student. B. You are thought of as a good student. C. You know some basic social skills. D. You are easy-going and helpful. 15. What does the passage mainly talk about? A. The importance of friendship in schools. B. The importance of a good relationship with your teachers. C. Studying skills for students. D. Useful skills to get along well with your teachers. 【答案】12. D 13. C 14. A 15. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了和谐师生关系的重要性。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Sure, it’s good to get along well with your teacher because it makes the time you spend in the classroom more pleasant.(当然，和老师相处很好，因为这会让你在课堂上度过的时间更愉快)”可知，当你和你的老师相处得很好时，你在教室里会度过更愉快的时光。故选D。 【13题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“If you show your teacher that you want to make the situation better, he or she will probably do everything possible to make”可知，如果你向老师表明你想让你们之间的状况更好，她或他就会尽全力让这件事发生。故可推测that指代的是“to make the situation better”，即想要你们之间的关系更好。故选C。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段“However, if a certain teacher isn’t your favorite, you can still have a successful relationship with him or her , especially if you fulfill (履行) your basic responsibilities as a student.(然而，如果某个老师不是你最喜欢的，你仍然可以和他或她有一个成功的关系，特别是如果你履行了你作为一个学生的基本责任)”可知，作为一名学生，如果你不喜欢某个老师，你也应该履行作为学生的基本责任。故选A。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Sure, it’s good to get along well with your teacher because it makes the time you spend in the classroom more pleasant.(当然，和老师相处很好，因为这会让你在课堂上度过的时间更愉快)”结合本文主要讲述了和谐师生关系的重要性。文章前三段讨论了其重要性，只是在文章最后提及了学生如果能履行一些基本职责的话，也可能和老师建立良好的关系。由此可知，这篇文章主要讲了与老师保持良好关系的重要性。故选B。 二、七选五（共1小题：每小题3分，满分15分） How to prepare for an exam is a big question that you always ask yourself.

Dear boys and girls, I’m very honored to express my opinion on environment protection. The first thing I want to stress is that the environment is becoming worse and worse with the development of modern industry. Therefore, it’s high time that some immediate measures should be taken to protect our home—the Earth, or we would have nowhere to live. Moreover, we as high school students can protect our environment by living a different life. First of all, do turn off lights and other switches when not using them to save electricity. Additionally, if we go out, we should walk, ride or take public transport instead of driving private cars. Last but not the least, reusing paper and bottles in our daily life is also highly recommended. Let’s start with small things now to make our environment better and better! Only in this way can we live in a more beautiful world!

Jeremy Savage, aged 17, and Ian Marshall, aged16, both from Canada, had their friendship tested to the limit on a recent trip to the Rocky Mountains with their parents. On Saturday morning, the two boys decided to climb Cathedral Mountain by themselves while their parents relaxed at the campsite. After three hours, they reached the top and enjoyed the beautiful view from the mountaintop. However, trouble began when they started the climb down. On one very dangerous part of the mountain, Ian fell three metres off the side of the path. Jeremy climbed down to where Ian was and found him badly injured and not able to move. Jeremy had to decide what to do. He needed help but he did not want to leave his friend. He cleaned the dirt and blood from Ian’s face and hands, and then tried to help Ian stand up, but Ian’s right leg was hurting too much. They had to wait and hope that help would come. Meanwhile, as darkness started to fall, their parents back at the campsite became very worried that the boys had not returned. They got in touch with park workers and began searching for the boys. Soon more than 20 people were looking for them on Cathedral Mountain. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150左右; 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 While they waited for help, Jeremy gave Ian his food and water and let him lie on his jacket. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ At sunrise, Jeremy decided that the only way to help his friend was to carry him down the mountain. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 While they waited for help, Jeremy gave Ian his food and water and let him lie on his jacket. As the evening grew darker and the temperature dropped, Ian told Jeremy to leave him and go back to their parents but Jeremy still did not leave. He thought it was too dangerous for Ian to be alone on such a cold, windy night. Jeremy made use of his jacket and an extra shirt to keep Ian warm. In the dreadful darkness, they rested together through the night. At sunrise, Jeremy decided that the only way to help his friend was to carry him down the mountain. So, they started the long climb back to the campsite. Sometimes Jeremy carried Ian on his back. Sometimes he carried him in his arms. Finally, after four long and tiring hours, they came across their parents, who were still looking for them on the mountain. Jeremy and Ian burst into tears, sobbing out what had happened in this adventure.“I will always remember what Jeremy did for me,” said Ian gratefully. “He saved my life. That is the greatest thing that a person can do for his friend.” 【解析】 【导语】文章以人物为线索展开，讲述了Jeremy Savage和Ian Marshall在爬山过程中，Ian从三米高的地方掉了下来，受了严重的伤，Jeremy不离不弃，奋力相救的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“当他们等待救援时，Jeremy给了Ian食物和水，让他躺在夹克上。”可知，第一段可描写Jeremy对Ian不离不弃，陪着他等待救援。 ②由第二段首句内容“日出时，Jeremy决定帮助他的朋友的唯一方法就是把他抬下山。”可知，第二段可描写Jeremy背Ian下山回程的艰辛过程和Ian的感激之情。 2.续写线索：爬山受伤——等待救援——拒绝离开——决定背Ian下山回程——路途艰辛——遇见父母——Ian感动和感激 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①突然哭起来：burst into tears/burst out crying ②偶遇：come across/run into 情绪类 ①感激地：gratefully/thankfully ②可怕的：dreadful/scary 【点睛】[高分句型1]Finally, after four long and tiring hours, they came across their parents, who were still looking for them on the mountain.

B I heard a story recently about a friend’s former boss. When employees would go into this person’s office to discuss something like a pay rise or promotion, the boss had a habit of greeting their request with silence. Quiet, tense seconds went slowly by, and they’d often leave, willing to take a pay cut or demotion (降职) — anything to end the terrible silence. Embarrassing silences can be unbearable. In 2017, a study found that silence in a talk starts to be unbearable after about four seconds. There’s so much uncertainty in the air as those silent seconds went slowly by. Did I say something wrong? Does this person hate me? Am I going to get fired? But it’s worth remembering that if you don’t know what to say or do, there is always the choice to do nothing. Uncomfortable silences aren’t necessarily a bad thing, depending on how you use them. For example, Katie Donovan is a supporter of the awkward-silence negotiating (谈判) technique. As she said, “The first step is to be silent or shut up!” If, for example, you are offered a starting salary of $40,000 when you know that the median salary for this position is $48,000, you can say something like this, “Thank you for the offer. I’m a little surprised about the salary, though. Based on my research I would have expected it to be in the $50,000 range.” It’s a good start; there is no phrase more quietly deadly in the business world than “I’m a little surprised”. But it only works if you say this — and then say nothing. During this pause, Donovan explains, the hiring manager is likely to try to work out how serious you are and how much more to offer. “Remember,” Donovan writes, “the hiring manager most likely will increase the salary during the meeting.” 4. What would the employees often do when they met with the boss’s silence? A. Keep silent. B. Get angry. C. Fight back. D. Give in. 5. What does the author say about silence in Paragraph 2? A It is a basic part of communication. B. It gives people time for themselves. C. You don’t have to break it all the time. D. The meaning of it varies among people. 6. What does the underlined word “median” mean in Paragraph 3? A. Average. B. Highest. C. Final. D. Starting. 7. What should you do after saying “I’m a little surprised”? A. Give up your request. B. Keep silent for a while. C. Avoid making eye contact. D. Continue to give your reasons. C Have you ever had a troubling problem that has left you wondering where to turn for help? Eve Hobsbawm is a life adviser. She offers advice to people struggling with all kinds of problems, from relationship difficulties to what to cook for dinner. She does this through a website inviting people to email her with their problems. There's nothing unusual about that, except for the fact that Eve is only eight years old. This junior trouble-shooter, who also goes by the name "Miss Evie Mouse" lives in London with her parents. Not only is Miss Mouse willing to lend an ear to her clients, she will also offer them a helping hand, for a fee of course. She charges between 10p for advice on little, everyday worries and ￡1 for more complicated problems. Her areas of expert knowledge, if not of experience, are problems about love, life and work-life balance. A problem shared is a problem halved, but Eve can't always help. A note on the site states that she can't answer questions like "Does space ever end?" and she won't solve schoolwork-related problems, especially not maths. She explained to the Guardian newspaper that she was inspired to set up the company by her father who runs a tech start-up. Eve said, "As soon as I saw his business and understood the kinds of things businesses do, I thought that's what I'm going to do." But since setting up her company in December she has been so overwhelmed with messages that she has had to take a step back. "There has been a lot of sudden interest in my site, which is nice," she says, "but I need to do my homework too, so I won't be solving any more problems for a bit." 8. Eve Hobsbawm is an unusual adviser because she__________. A. asks for fees for her advice B. is just a pupil at primary school C. is an expert in work-life balance D. answers questions on the Internet 9. What is people's attitude towards Eve's website? A. Interested B. Disapproving C. Doubtful D. Unconcerned 10. Which of the following can best describe Eve? A She has a lot of experience in life. B. She is very popular among students. C. She has a natural talent for business. D She is warm-hearted and ready to help. 11. Where is the passage most likely to have been taken from? A. A book review. B. A speech. C. An advertisement. D. A news report. D Sure, it’s good to get along well with your teacher because it makes the time you spend in the classroom more pleasant. And yes, it’s good to get along well with your teacher because, in general, it’s smart to learn how to get along well with the different types of people you’ll meet throughout your life. In fact, kids who get along well with their teachers not only learn more, but they’re more comfortable with asking questions and getting extra help. This makes it easier for them to understand new materials and makes them do their best on tests. When you have this kind of relationship with a teacher, he or she can be someone to turn to with problems, such as problems with learning or school issues (问题). Here is a question: What if you don’t get along with your teachers? In fact, teachers want to get along well with you and enjoy seeing you learn. But teachers and students sometimes have personality clashes (个性冲突), which can happen between any two people. If you show your teacher that you want to make the situation better, he or she will probably do everything possible to make that happen. By dealing with a problem like this, you learn something about how to get along with people who are different from you. However, if a certain teacher isn’t your favorite, you can still have a successful relationship with him or her , especially if you fulfill (履行) your basic responsibilities as a student. Here are some of those responsibilities： Attend class ready to learn Be prepared for class with the right stationery, books, and completed assignments (作业). Listen when your teacher is talking. Do your best, whether it’s a classroom assignment, homework, or a test. 12. According to the passage, what will happen to you when getting along well with your teachers? A. We will have no problems with study. B. We will get a better seat in the classroom. C. We will get the best scores in the exams. D We will have more pleasant time in the classroom. 13. What does the underlined word “that” refer to in the fourth paragraph? A. The happy time you have in the classroom. B. Getting along very well with classmates. C. A better relationship between you and your teacher. D. The disappearance of personality differences. 14. As a student, what will you do if you don’t like a certain teacher? A. You fulfill your basic responsibilities as a student. B. You are thought of as a good student. C. You know some basic social skills. D. You are easy-going and helpful. 15. What does the passage mainly talk about? A. The importance of friendship in schools. B. The importance of a good relationship with your teachers. C. Studying skills for students. D. Useful skills to get along well with your teachers. 二、七选五（共1小题：每小题3分，满分15分） How to prepare for an exam is a big question that you always ask yourself. Here are some tips that may help you.
