Which fruit personality are you?
In the workplace, we have to be able to deal with people who aren’t like us. No one will change for you, so you just have to respect their differences. When identifying personality types, I like to talk in terms of fruit. Nobody is just one fruit, but we all have a preference. And we tend to emphasize our top two, especially under pressure. Here are some fruit personalities and how best to deal with them.
Types
Introduction & Management
Apple:Hard Core
Apple types are direct and don’t suffer fools. They are fast, logical thinkers who love to win and hate to lose control. They’ll get a result at any cost, but see conflict as sport.
1. Always stand up to them.
2. Get to the point.
3. Don’t take it personally.
4. Watch and learn from them.
Mango:Juicy and Messy
Mango types love life and can’t afford to miss a minute. They love variety because they tend to be easily distracted and naturally rule breakers.
1. Talk big picture, avoid details.
2. Give them false deadlines.
3. Don’t micro-manage.
Lemon:Concentrated
Lemon types love structure and order. They are worriers who like security and predictability. They excel at spotting gaps in a plan. But too many rules can also be frustrating.
1. Respect their need for space.
2. Don’t surprise them.
3. Listen with respect.
4. Show your pace.
Banana:Sweet and Gentle
Banana types enjoy peace and shy away from conflicts. They are kind to react to others’ requests. However, when they are too accommodating, they can be seen as indecisive.
1. Don’t pressure them, motivate.
2. Create a positive environment.
3. Encourage regular feedback.
4. Be nice to them.

A Chicago resident didn’t know riding the local train would unexpectedly turn him into a hero.
It was a typical day for Anthony Perry, 20, who got off the train at Chicago’s 69th Street station. Since Perry was interested in purchasing a car, he was on his way to meet his grandfather, who had agreed to accompany him to view one he had been eyeing.
Suddenly, a physical fight erupted between two men at the station, which led to the two falling onto the train tracks. Although one of the men landed on his back, they continued to fight. This caused the other guy to fell on the third rail, which passes electric current to the train. The man was lying on the tracks and appearing to convulse (抽搐) as a result of hundreds of volts of electric current shooting through his body. It looked like the unnamed man lost his life. However, Perry refused to let him lie on the tracks. He jumped down from the platform and quickly crossed the tracks in front of a train that had managed to stop a few feet away.
Perry said “I was hoping I could just grab him and not feel nothing, but I felt a little shock. I felt it all through my body actually. I didn’t let that stop me.” Perry administered CPR to the man after he’d pulled him from the tracks. Then the man was taken to hospital and survived finally.
As planned, Perry went to look at the car he wanted to buy, but it had been sold. Just days after the incident, Early Walker, founder of an anti-violence organization, rewarded him with the car. “We need more Anthonys in the world,” Walker said.
Also, there to thank Perry was the Chicago police department. District Commander Roderick Watson said “So many times people think these young men are out here doing the wrong thing, but this is just a typical example of how a young man took it upon himself to jump in and do the right thing, and it should be recognized.”
24.What caused the unnamed man to fall on the third rail?
A.Carelessness of the man. B.The emergency stop of the train.
C.An unintentional push from Perry. D.The fight between him and another man.
25.Which words can best describe Perry?
A.Gentle and considerate. B.Courageous and kind-hearted.
C.Energetic and ambitious. D.Strong-willed and conservative.
26.How did Perry get the desired car?
A.He received it as a reward. B.He purchased it at a discount.
C.The man rescued by Perry donated it. D.His grandfather gave it to him as a gift.
27.What can be inferred from Wason’s words?
A.Every man has its faults.
B.Parents have a high expectation for their children.
C.The young need to be evaluated objectively.
D.Most teenagers need to be inspired by model education.
C
Almost all food companies calculate the calorie content of their offerings using a mathematical formula (公式). They first measure how many grams of carbohydrate (碳水化合物), protein and fat are in the food. This formula is known as the Atwater system. Then they multiply (乘以) each of those amounts by a set value. There are four calories per gram of carbohydrate or protein and nine calories per gram of fat. The sum of those values will show up as the calorie count on a food label.
The numbers in this formula are called Atwater factors. They come from data collected more than 100 years ago by nutritionist Wilbur O. Atwater. Atwater asked volunteers to eat different foods. Then he measured how much energy their bodies got from each one by comparing the energy in the food with the energy left over in their feces and urine.
According to the formula, the calorie content in a gram of fat is the same whether that fat comes from a hamburger, a bag of almonds (杏仁) or a plate of French fries. But scientists have found that the Atwater system isn’t perfect.
David Baer is a professor at the Beltsville Human Nutrition Research Center in Maryland. His team has shown that some foods do not match the Atwater factors. For example, some plants have tough cell walls. Chewing plant-based foods, such as nuts, consumes some of these walls but not all. So some of these nutrients will pass out of the body, undigested.
Making foods easier to digest through cooking or other processes can also change the amount of calories available to the body. For example, Baer’s team has found that almond butter provides more calories per gram than whole almonds. The Atwater system, however, predicts each should deliver the same amount.
The Atwater system may have problems, but it is simple and easy to use. Though other systems have been proposed, none is the best.
28.What is the Atwater system mainly used for?
A.Measuring the weight of food.
B.Calculating the calorie content of food.
C.Predicting the energy output of the body.
D.Determining the nutritional value of food.
29.According to David Baer’s team, what makes some foods not match the Atwater factors?
A.The difficulty in digesting certain foods.
B.The high calorie content in processed foods.
C.The difference in the way people chew food.
D.The variety of nutrients in different foods.
30.What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A.The Atwater system is the best way to calculate calories.
B.None of the proposed systems is better than the Atwater system.
C.Other systems are more complex but more accurate than the Atwater system.
D.Despite its problems, the Atwater system remains popular due to its simplicity.
31.Where does this passage most probably come from?
A.A health and fitness website. B.A cooking magazine.
C.A history book. D.A science journal.
D
The Internet offers us an opportunity to know more people (without actually needing to “know them”), with very little effort. But are online friendships the same as in-real-life (IRL) friendships?
How people see online friendships and IRL friendships depends on their age. While digital immigrants (such as I) support scientist John Suler’s belief that people “separate their online lives from their offline lives”, the digital natives growing with Facebook and Instagram find differences between online and offline friendships more unclear.
The Pew Research Center (PRC) finds that 57% of American teens make new friends online. But, it also finds that most “digital friendships” stay in the digital space with only 20% of teens having met an online friend in person. It seems that real-time friendships are considered more valuable than digital friendships even among the digital natives. Best friends meet most often at schools and homes, although online meetings come a close third. The reason why online friendships are placed below IRL friendships is the absence of physical intimacy (亲密).
So, is the Internet bad for relationships? Obviously not. But for the net, I could have never kept in touch with or met my high school friend after a quarter of a century. But even if there is no physical separation, the digital native seems to find online interactions with real-life friends beneficial. 83% of teen social media users believe that social media makes them feel more connected to their friends’ lives. 78% of online gaming teens (mostly boys) feel more connected to existing friends with whom they play games.
However, online interactions can have an adverse effect on existing relationships. 68% of teen social media users report having experienced unpleasant feelings toward their friends on social media and 26% of all teens have had an argument with a friend over something that happened online or over text messages.
The Internet is undoubtedly an invaluable link between people separated by distance. But this link must be based on intimacy and familiarity and a balance of online and offline interactions will pave the way for better relationships in the world.
32.Which of the following may digital natives agree with?
A.Online friendships are long-lasting.
B.Online friendships just remain digital.
C.Online friendships clearly differ from IRL ones.
D.Online friendships are less valuable than IRL ones.
33.What does paragraph 4 mainly tell us?
A.Why many teens choose online friendships.
B.How real-life friends make online interactions.
C.The influence of online interactions on teens’ lives.
D.The benefits of online interactions to IRL friendships.
34.What does the underlined word “adverse” in paragraph 5 mean?
A.Lasting. B.Harmful. C.Decisive. D.Noticeable.
35.What opinion does the author express in the last paragraph?
A.The Internet is good for people’s relationships.
B.Good relationships don’t exist without intimacy.
C.It is good to balance online and offline communication.
D.Honesty matters to both online and offline communication.

根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Gamba has a lifelong fear of dentists. “It was much easier to accept the toothache,” he says.
36 , there are times when you have to seek proper dental care. Fortunately, many dentists are specially trained in handling fearful patients. A variety of methods are also available to reduce pain and fear when you are in the dentist’s chair.
The best dentists use simple methods to create a feeling of control. They gently explain what the patient will feel, and for about how long. They frequently ask the patient for permission to continue. 37 . Their working places are barely recognizable as a dentist’s office. Free of posters showing the horrors of dental diseases, some even have a fireplace in the waiting room and some have a treatment room overlooking a waterfall. 38 , your body may still fear that chair. Here are some tips that may help you:
➢ Go to the dentist with someone you trust, such as a close relative who has no fear of dentists. If possible, ask him/her to sit with you during the treatment.
➢ 39 . Listen to your own music on headphones — a new CD, not one you’ve heard a lot, so you’ll be a little more interested in it. Or find a dental clinic with a TV in the treatment room.
➢ Try relaxation techniques. Controlled breathing — I taking a big breath, holding it, and letting it out slowly — will slow your heartbeat and relax your muscles.
As the pain from Gamba’s wisdom teeth worsened, he found support online through a forum for people with dental fear. He also found a dentist, who advertises his skill with fearful patients. “ 40 ,” Gamba says before going. But the dentist put him so at ease that he agreed to receive treatment right away. And it was painless, he says.
A.Add your favorite songs to the playlist
B.Shift attention while in the dentist’s chair
C.It wouldn’t be possible without the dentists’ support
D.I convinced myself that I was just going to talk with the dentist
E.Even if your mind tells you you’ll be just fine in such circumstances
F.Although you would never look forward to a spell in the dentist’s chair
G.Some dentists even go out of their way to create a nonthreatening environment

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。
My son David was injured in his forehead so I had to take him to a hospital. I looked around the crowded waiting room in the hospital and sighed. I thought, “Will the doctor be able to see my eight-year-old son soon?” I tried steadying the ice pack (冰袋) over his forehead, but it was no use. I couldn’t stop shaking. The injury in his forehead was deep, but at least blood wasn’t pouring from it anymore.
His face was full of tears, but he seemed really brave for his age. I handed him the ice pack, and he covered his forehead with it. He was doing a much better job than I had. We were at the hospital because another child had thrown a rock at David during a break between classes as he was running around the corner. His teacher called me, and when I arrived, I found him sitting in front of her. His teacher was caring for his injury, trying to keep him calm. She felt terrible about what had happened, but I knew none of it was her fault.
David received four stitches (缝线) and didn’t cry once throughout the whole treatment. For the next two days, his forehead was swollen and black and blue. I felt like I’d had a mini nervous breakdown. Every time I tried to sleep or tend to housework, horrible thoughts crept into my mind. Fear had taken over, and then the fear turned to anger. I was angry with the child who’d thrown the rock. I just couldn’t shake it. What was she thinking? She should have known about that better.
David’s headmaster and teacher called me that evening to see how David was feeling and told me Cherry, the girl, felt terrible. I wanted to stand up for my son, do the right thing and protect him.
The next day, David’s teacher stopped by to see how David was feeling and dropped off a get-well card that Cherry had made. David and I read it several times, and I couldn’t help but feel a little choked up. It was a sincere apology.
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。
This card mattered a lot to us.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
We wondered how Cherry would make a response after reading the letter.

Which fruit personality are you?
In the workplace, we have to be able to deal with people who aren’t like us. No one will change for you, so you just have to respect their differences. When identifying personality types, I like to talk in terms of fruit. Nobody is just one fruit, but we all have a preference. And we tend to emphasize our top two, especially under pressure. Here are some fruit personalities and how best to deal with them.

1. Always stand up to them.
2. Get to the point.
3. Don’t take it personally.
4. Watch and learn from them.
Mango:Juicy and Messy
Mango types love life and can’t afford to miss a minute. They love variety because they tend to be easily distracted and naturally rule breakers.

B
A Chicago resident didn’t know riding the local train would unexpectedly turn him into a hero.
It was a typical day for Anthony Perry, 20, who got off the train at Chicago’s 69th Street station. Since Perry was interested in purchasing a car, he was on his way to meet his grandfather, who had agreed to accompany him to view one he had been eyeing.
Suddenly, a physical fight erupted between two men at the station, which led to the two falling onto the train tracks. Although one of the men landed on his back, they continued to fight. This caused the other guy to fell on the third rail, which passes electric current to the train. The man was lying on the tracks and appearing to convulse (抽搐) as a result of hundreds of volts of electric current shooting through his body. It looked like the unnamed man lost his life. However, Perry refused to let him lie on the tracks. He jumped down from the platform and quickly crossed the tracks in front of a train that had managed to stop a few feet away.
Perry said “I was hoping I could just grab him and not feel nothing, but I felt a little shock. I felt it all through my body actually. I didn’t let that stop me.” Perry administered CPR to the man after he’d pulled him from the tracks. Then the man was taken to hospital and survived finally.
As planned, Perry went to look at the car he wanted to buy, but it had been sold. Just days after the incident, Early Walker, founder of an anti-violence organization, rewarded him with the car. “We need more Anthonys in the world,” Walker said.
Also, there to thank Perry was the Chicago police department. District Commander Roderick Watson said “So many times people think these young men are out here doing the wrong thing, but this is just a typical example of how a young man took it upon himself to jump in and do the right thing, and it should be recognized.”
24.What caused the unnamed man to fall on the third rail?
A.Carelessness of the man. B.The emergency stop of the train.
C.An unintentional push from Perry. D.The fight between him and another man.
25.Which words can best describe Perry?
A.Gentle and considerate. B.Courageous and kind-hearted.
C.Energetic and ambitious. D.Strong-willed and conservative.
26.How did Perry get the desired car?
A.He received it as a reward. B.He purchased it at a discount.
C.The man rescued by Perry donated it. D.His grandfather gave it to him as a gift.
27.What can be inferred from Wason’s words?
A.Every man has its faults.
B.Parents have a high expectation for their children.
C.The young need to be evaluated objectively.
D.Most teenagers need to be inspired by model education.
【答案】24.D 25.B 26.A 27.C
【解析】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了年轻人佩里勇敢救人的事迹。
24.细节理解题。根据第三段中“Suddenly, a physical fight erupted between two men at the station, which led to the two falling onto the train tracks. Although one of the men landed on his back, they continued to fight. This caused the other guy to fell on the third rail(突然,两名男子在车站发生肢体冲突,导致两人摔倒在铁轨上。虽然其中一个人仰面着地,但他们继续打斗。这导致另一个人摔倒在第三根铁轨上)”可知,两个人之间的打斗导致男人摔倒在第三根铁轨上。故选D项。
25.推理判断题。根据第三段中“The man was lying on the tracks and appearing to convulse (抽搐) as a result of hundreds of volts of electric current shooting through his body. It looked like the unnamed man lost his life. However, Perry refused to let him lie on the tracks. He jumped down from the platform and quickly crossed the tracks in front of a train that had managed to stop a few feet away.(这名男子躺在铁轨上,由于数百伏的电流穿过他的身体,他似乎在抽搐。看起来这个无名男子失去了生命。然而,佩里拒绝让他躺在铁轨上。他从月台上跳下来,迅速穿过轨道,挡住了一列停在几英尺外的火车)”和最后一段中芝加哥警察局地区指挥官罗德里克·沃森的话“but this is just a typical example of how a young man took it upon himself to jump in and do the right thing, and it should be recognized.(但这只是一个典型的例子,说明一个年轻人如何主动作为,做正确的事情,这应该得到认可)”可推知,佩里不顾个人安危,跳下月台,拦住火车,拯救了处于危险中的男人,说明他勇敢且善良。故选B项。
26.细节理解题。根据第五段中“Just days after the incident, Early Walker, founder of an anti-violence organization, rewarded him with the car.(事件发生几天后,一个反暴力组织的创始人厄尔利·沃克奖励了他这辆车)”可知,反暴力组织的创始人厄尔利·沃克把车作为奖励送给了佩里。故选A项。
27.推理判断题。根据最后一段中沃森的话“So many times people think these young men are out here doing the wrong thing, but this is just a typical example of how a young man took it upon himself to jump in and do the right thing, and it should be recognized.(很多时候,人们认为这些年轻人在这里做错了事情,但这只是一个典型的例子,一个年轻人如何主动作为,做正确的事情,这应该得到认可)”可推知,年轻人并不总是做错事,佩里就是一个主动作为的正面代表,所以年轻人需要被客观地评价。故选C项。
C
Almost all food companies calculate the calorie content of their offerings using a mathematical formula (公式). They first measure how many grams of carbohydrate (碳水化合物), protein and fat are in the food. This formula is known as the Atwater system. Then they multiply (乘以) each of those amounts by a set value. There are four calories per gram of carbohydrate or protein and nine calories per gram of fat. The sum of those values will show up as the calorie count on a food label.
The numbers in this formula are called Atwater factors. They come from data collected more than 100 years ago by nutritionist Wilbur O. Atwater. Atwater asked volunteers to eat different foods. Then he measured how much energy their bodies got from each one by comparing the energy in the food with the energy left over in their feces and urine.
According to the formula, the calorie content in a gram of fat is the same whether that fat comes from a hamburger, a bag of almonds (杏仁) or a plate of French fries. But scientists have found that the Atwater system isn’t perfect.
David Baer is a professor at the Beltsville Human Nutrition Research Center in Maryland. His team has shown that some foods do not match the Atwater factors. For example, some plants have tough cell walls. Chewing plant-based foods, such as nuts, consumes some of these walls but not all. So some of these nutrients will pass out of the body, undigested.
Making foods easier to digest through cooking or other processes can also change the amount of calories available to the body. For example, Baer’s team has found that almond butter provides more calories per gram than whole almonds. The Atwater system, however, predicts each should deliver the same amount.
The Atwater system may have problems, but it is simple and easy to use. Though other systems have been proposed, none is the best.
28.What is the Atwater system mainly used for?
A.Measuring the weight of food.
B.Calculating the calorie content of food.
C.Predicting the energy output of the body.
D.Determining the nutritional value of food.
29.According to David Baer’s team, what makes some foods not match the Atwater factors?
A.The difficulty in digesting certain foods.
B.The high calorie content in processed foods.
C.The difference in the way people chew food.
D.The variety of nutrients in different foods.
30.What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A.The Atwater system is the best way to calculate calories.
B.None of the proposed systems is better than the Atwater system.
C.Other systems are more complex but more accurate than the Atwater system.
D.Despite its problems, the Atwater system remains popular due to its simplicity.
31.Where does this passage most probably come from?
A.A health and fitness website. B.A cooking magazine.
C.A history book. D.A science journal.
【答案】28.B 29.A 30.D 31.A
【解析】这是一篇说明文。本文介绍了食品公司如何计算食品热量,包括使用Atwater系统的方法及其问题,但该系统简单易用,至今仍是最佳选择。
28.细节理解题。根据文章第一段的“This formula is known as the Atwater system. They first measure how many grams of carbohydrate (碳水化合物), protein and fat are in the food. Then they multiply (乘以) each of those amounts by a set value. The sum of those values will show up as the calorie count on a food label.”(这个公式被称为阿特沃特系统。他们首先测量食物中有多少克的碳水化合物、蛋白质和脂肪。然后他们将每一种量乘以一个设定的值。这些值的总和将显示为食品标签上的卡路里计数。)可知,Atwater系统主要用于计算食物的卡路里含量,故选B。
29.细节理解题。根据第四段的“Chewing plant-based foods, such as nuts, consumes some of these walls but not all. So some of these nutrients will pass out of the body, undigested.”(咀嚼这些植物性食物(如坚果)会消耗其中一些细胞壁,但并非全部。因此,一些营养物质会未经消化就排出体外。)可知,某些食物不符合Atwater因子是因为消化困难,故选A。
30.推理判断题。根据文章最后一段的“The Atwater system may have problems, but it is simple and easy to use. Though other systems have been proposed, none is the best.”(Atwater系统可能存在问题,但它简单易用。尽管已经提出了其他系统,但没有最好的。)可推知,尽管Atwater系统存在问题,但由于其简单性,仍然受到欢迎,故选D。
31.推理判断题。文章主要讨论了食物卡路里的计算方法,特别是Atwater系统,以及该系统存在的问题和替代方案。这种内容通常与健康和健身相关,因此最有可能出现在健康和健身网站上。故选A。
D
The Internet offers us an opportunity to know more people (without actually needing to “know them”), with very little effort. But are online friendships the same as in-real-life (IRL) friendships?
How people see online friendships and IRL friendships depends on their age. While digital immigrants (such as I) support scientist John Suler’s belief that people “separate their online lives from their offline lives”, the digital natives growing with Facebook and Instagram find differences between online and offline friendships more unclear.
The Pew Research Center (PRC) finds that 57% of American teens make new friends online. But, it also finds that most “digital friendships” stay in the digital space with only 20% of teens having met an online friend in person. It seems that real-time friendships are considered more valuable than digital friendships even among the digital natives. Best friends meet most often at schools and homes, although online meetings come a close third. The reason why online friendships are placed below IRL friendships is the absence of physical intimacy (亲密).
So, is the Internet bad for relationships? Obviously not. But for the net, I could have never kept in touch with or met my high school friend after a quarter of a century. But even if there is no physical separation, the digital native seems to find online interactions with real-life friends beneficial. 83% of teen social media users believe that social media makes them feel more connected to their friends’ lives. 78% of online gaming teens (mostly boys) feel more connected to existing friends with whom they play games.
However, online interactions can have an adverse effect on existing relationships. 68% of teen social media users report having experienced unpleasant feelings toward their friends on social media and 26% of all teens have had an argument with a friend over something that happened online or over text messages.
The Internet is undoubtedly an invaluable link between people separated by distance. But this link must be based on intimacy and familiarity and a balance of online and offline interactions will pave the way for better relationships in the world.
32.Which of the following may digital natives agree with?
A.Online friendships are long-lasting.
B.Online friendships just remain digital.
C.Online friendships clearly differ from IRL ones.
D.Online friendships are less valuable than IRL ones.
33.What does paragraph 4 mainly tell us?
A.Why many teens choose online friendships.
B.How real-life friends make online interactions.
C.The influence of online interactions on teens’ lives.
D.The benefits of online interactions to IRL friendships.
34.What does the underlined word “adverse” in paragraph 5 mean?
A.Lasting. B.Harmful. C.Decisive. D.Noticeable.
35.What opinion does the author express in the last paragraph?
A.The Internet is good for people’s relationships.
B.Good relationships don’t exist without intimacy.
C.It is good to balance online and offline communication.
D.Honesty matters to both online and offline communication.
【答案】32.D 33.D 34.B 35.C
【解析】本文是一篇议论文。文章讨论了在线友谊与现实生活中的友谊之间的区别和联系,以及互联网对人际关系的影响。
32.细节理解题。根据第三段“It seems that real-time friendships are considered more valuable than digital friendships even among the digital natives.(只有20%的青少年见过网友。即使在数字原住民中,实时友谊似乎也被认为比数字友谊更有价值。)”可知,数字原住民也认为实时友谊(IRL友谊)比数字友谊更有价值。故选D。
33.主旨大意题。根据文章第四段“So, is the Internet bad for relationships? Obviously not. But for the net, I could have never kept in touch with or met my high school friend after a quarter of a century. But even if there is no physical separation, the digital native seems to find online interactions with real-life friends beneficial. 83% of teen social media users believe that social media makes them feel more connected to their friends’ lives. 78% of online gaming teens (mostly boys) feel more connected to existing friends with whom they play games.(那么,网络对人际关系有害吗?显然不是。如果没有网络,我可能永远不会和我的高中朋友保持联系,或者在四分之一个世纪后见到他们。但是,即使没有物理隔离,数字原生代似乎也会发现与现实生活中的朋友进行在线互动是有益的。83%的青少年社交媒体用户认为,社交媒体让他们感觉与朋友的生活联系得更紧密。78%的在线游戏青少年(主要是男孩)觉得与他们一起玩游戏的现有朋友更有联系。)”可知,本段主要讲述了网络对人际关系的积极影响。故选D。
34.词义猜测题。根据划线单词下文“68% of teen social media users report having experienced unpleasant feelings toward their friends on social media and 26% of all teens have had an argument with a friend over something that happened online or over text messages.(68%的青少年社交媒体用户报告说,他们在社交媒体上对朋友产生了不愉快的感觉,26%的青少年曾因为网上或短信上发生的事情与朋友发生过争吵。)”可推测,在线互动可能会对现有的关系产生不利影响。划线词adverse的意思为“不利的”。选项A“Lasting(持久的)”;选项B“Harmful (有害的)”;选项C“Decisive (果断的)”;选项D“Noticeable (显而易见的)”。故选B。
35.推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“The Internet is undoubtedly an invaluable link between people separated by distance. But this link must be based on intimacy and familiarity and a balance of online and offline interactions will pave the way for better relationships in the world.(毫无疑问,互联网是连接相隔遥远的人们的宝贵纽带。但这种联系必须建立在亲密和熟悉的基础上,线上和线下互动的平衡将为世界上更好的关系铺平道路。)”可知,作者在最后首先强调了互联网作为人们之间无价联系的重要性,并说明这种联系必须建立在亲密和熟悉的基础上。最后,作者提出了一个解决方案,即平衡线上和线下的交流,以促进世界上更好的关系。所以作者在最后一段既强调了互联网在人际关系中的积极作用,又提出了实现更好关系的具体方法。故选C。
第二节 (共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Gamba has a lifelong fear of dentists. “It was much easier to accept the toothache,” he says.
36 , there are times when you have to seek proper dental care. Fortunately, many dentists are specially trained in handling fearful patients. A variety of methods are also available to reduce pain and fear when you are in the dentist’s chair.
The best dentists use simple methods to create a feeling of control. They gently explain what the patient will feel, and for about how long. They frequently ask the patient for permission to continue. 37 . Their working places are barely recognizable as a dentist’s office. Free of posters showing the horrors of dental diseases, some even have a fireplace in the waiting room and some have a treatment room overlooking a waterfall. 38 , your body may still fear that chair. Here are some tips that may help you:
➢ Go to the dentist with someone you trust, such as a close relative who has no fear of dentists. If possible, ask him/her to sit with you during the treatment.
➢ 39 . Listen to your own music on headphones — a new CD, not one you’ve heard a lot, so you’ll be a little more interested in it. Or find a dental clinic with a TV in the treatment room.
➢ Try relaxation techniques. Controlled breathing — I taking a big breath, holding it, and letting it out slowly — will slow your heartbeat and relax your muscles.
As the pain from Gamba’s wisdom teeth worsened, he found support online through a forum for people with dental fear. He also found a dentist, who advertises his skill with fearful patients. “ 40 ,” Gamba says before going. But the dentist put him so at ease that he agreed to receive treatment right away. And it was painless, he says.
A.Add your favorite songs to the playlist
B.Shift attention while in the dentist’s chair
C.It wouldn’t be possible without the dentists’ support
D.I convinced myself that I was just going to talk with the dentist
E.Even if your mind tells you you’ll be just fine in such circumstances
F.Although you would never look forward to a spell in the dentist’s chair
G.Some dentists even go out of their way to create a nonthreatening environment
【答案】36.F 37.G 38.E 39.B 40.D
【解析】本文属于说明文。作者详细解释了对于害怕牙医的人来说,如何在必要时寻求适当的牙科护理,并介绍了多种方法来减少在牙医椅子上的疼痛和恐惧。
36.根据上文“Gamba has a lifelong fear of dentists. “It was much easier to accept the toothache,” he says. (甘巴一生都害怕牙医。“接受牙痛要容易得多,”他说。)”和下文“here are times when you have to seek proper dental care. (有时你必须寻求适当的牙齿护理。)”可知,甘巴害怕看牙医,忍受牙痛,但有时必须寻求适当的牙科治疗。因此,这里需要一个转折来引出即使不愿意也得面对的情况。故F选项“Although you would never look forward to a spell in the dentist’s chair (尽管你永远不会期待在牙医的椅子上度过一段时间)”能承上启下,符合题意。故选F。
37.根据上文“The best dentists use simple methods to create a feeling of control. They gently explain what the patient will feel, and for about how long. They frequently ask the patient for permission to continue. (最好的牙医使用简单的方法来创造一种控制感。他们会温和地解释病人的感觉,以及持续多久。他们经常请求病人允许他们继续治疗。)”及下文“Their working places are barely recognizable as a dentist’s office. Free of posters showing the horrors of dental diseases, some even have a fireplace in the waiting room and some have a treatment room overlooking a waterfall. (他们的工作场所几乎看不出是一家牙医诊所。没有展示牙病可怕的海报,有些甚至在候诊室里有壁炉,有些甚至有一个可以俯瞰瀑布的治疗室。)”可知,此处应衔接关于牙医如何营造轻松环境的信息。因此,G选项“Some dentists even go out of their way to create a nonthreatening environment (有些牙医甚至不遗余力地创造一个无威胁的环境)”能承上启下,符合题意。故选G。
38.根据上文“Their working places are barely recognizable as a dentist’s office.

(他们的工作场所几乎看不出是一家牙医诊所。没有展示牙病可怕的海报,有些甚至在候诊室里有壁炉,有些甚至有一个可以俯瞰瀑布的治疗室。)”和下文“your body may still fear that chair. (你的身体可能仍然害怕那把椅子。)”可知,上文提到诊所环境的改变,如瀑布景观等,意在减轻身体上的恐惧感,下文说身体仍然害怕那把椅子。此处作为过渡句,指出即便心理上接受了,身体可能仍会有恐惧反应,E选项“Even if your mind tells you you’ll be just fine in such circumstances (即使你的理智告诉你在这种情况下你会没事的)”能承上启下,符合题意。故选E。
39.根据下文“Listen to your own music on headphones— a new CD, not one you’ve heard a lot, so you’ll be a little more interested in it. Or find a dental clinic with a TV in the treatment room. (戴上耳机听你自己的音乐——一张新CD,不是你听过很多次的,这样你会对它更感兴趣。或者找一家在治疗室里有电视的牙科诊所。)”可知,本段主要讲述了一些帮助患者在牙医诊疗过程中分散注意力的方法,如听音乐或看电视等。B选项“Shift attention while in the dentist’s chair (坐在牙医椅上转移注意力)”能引起下文,符合题意。故选B。
40.根据下文“But the dentist put him so at ease that he agreed to receive treatment right away. (但是牙医让他非常放松,以至于他同意马上接受治疗。)”可知,在此之前,甘巴内心是紧张的。D选项“I convinced myself that I was just going to talk with the dentist (我让自己相信我只是去和牙医谈谈)”表明了甘巴试图说服自己以减轻紧张情绪的状态,能引起下文,符合题意。故选D。

When the three women spotted an abandoned property in Providence, USA, they agreed this polluted parcel of land held 41 . It was where their dream of a(an) 42 farm came true.
Holland and her cofounders, Doggett and Purviance, 43 the 2.7-acre property, cleaned up the pollution and created an inner-city oasis (绿洲). Its name? What Cheer Flower Farm. Its 44 ? To give away all the flowers they grow to people in need.
“We offer products to people who 45 flowers but don’t have access,” explains Doggett. “Flowers are a 46 symbol, not just for the selected few who can afford them. Receiving flowers energizes everyone.”
Although the three got off to a 47 start-planting started in May, not as usual, they worked around the clock and 48 to donate roughly 10,000 flowers in their first growing season. “We want to 49 the state with flowers and we are very 50 to make it work,” Purviance says. Now the farm regularly brings 51 to people at local hospitals, senior centers and more. Purviance vividly remembers the first flowers she 52 to a home-bound elderly woman. “Her face just 53 . It was as if a flash of light was coming from the top of Federal Hill.” Another young woman, who was just broke, thanked Purviance afterwards. “In the 54 time of my life, even one flower lifts me up.”

【解析】这是一篇记叙文。文章介绍叶嘉莹教授的一生及其对中国古典文学和诗歌的深厚情感与贡献。
56.考查非谓语动词。句意:从1979年开始,每年暑假她都会回到中国大陆,在多所大学任教。空处需填非谓语动词作状语,she和start为逻辑主谓关系,需用现在分词形式,位于句首,首字母需大写。故填Starting。

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。
My son David was injured in his forehead so I had to take him to a hospital. I looked around the crowded waiting room in the hospital and sighed. I thought, “Will the doctor be able to see my eight-year-old son soon?” I tried steadying the ice pack (冰袋) over his forehead, but it was no use. I couldn’t stop shaking. The injury in his forehead was deep, but at least blood wasn’t pouring from it anymore.
His face was full of tears, but he seemed really brave for his age. I handed him the ice pack, and he covered his forehead with it. He was doing a much better job than I had. We were at the hospital because another child had thrown a rock at David during a break between classes as he was running around the corner. His teacher called me, and when I arrived, I found him sitting in front of her. His teacher was caring for his injury, trying to keep him calm. She felt terrible about what had happened, but I knew none of it was her fault.
David received four stitches (缝线) and didn’t cry once throughout the whole treatment. For the next two days, his forehead was swollen and black and blue. I felt like I’d had a mini nervous breakdown. Every time I tried to sleep or tend to housework, horrible thoughts crept into my mind. Fear had taken over, and then the fear turned to anger. I was angry with the child who’d thrown the rock. I just couldn’t shake it. What was she thinking? She should have known about that better.
David’s headmaster and teacher called me that evening to see how David was feeling and told me Cherry, the girl, felt terrible. I wanted to stand up for my son, do the right thing and protect him.
The next day, David’s teacher stopped by to see how David was feeling and dropped off a get-well card that Cherry had made. David and I read it several times, and I couldn’t help but feel a little choked up. It was a sincere apology.
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。
This card mattered a lot to us.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
We wondered how Cherry would make a response after reading the letter.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
This card mattered a lot to us. I wanted this to be a teachable moment for David. I asked David if he was ready to forgive Cherry. After all, his opinion counted the most. He thought about it for a moment, smiled and said, “Yes.” He knew Cherry hadn’t done it on purpose. Children are so friendly and so honest. They don’t hold onto anger like adults do sometimes. Their hearts are pure, so we wrote her a letter together, reading, “We know it was an unfortunate accident. We forgive you, and we hope you forgive yourself.” We asked David’s teacher to pass the letter to Cherry.
We wondered how Cherry would make a response after reading the letter. Later, David’s teacher told us Cherry was relieved after reading our letter. She was glad that David was feeling better and healing. David and Cherry both learned that forgiving someone was a part of healing and could release anger. The next time I showed up at David’s school, Cherry gave me a big hug. I hugged her back. We didn’t have to say anything else. We both knew forgiveness was the most important step to get healed.
【解析】本文以人物为线索展开。文章讲述的是关于一位母亲和她的儿子大卫,大卫被另一个孩子扔的石头击中后去了医院。母亲对扔石头的孩子感到恐惧和愤怒。大卫的老师第二天过来看他,并带来切莉制作的卡片。大卫和他的母亲给扔石头的女孩写了一封信,原谅她,希望她能原谅自己。这篇文章强调了宽恕和从错误中学习的重要性。
【详解】1. 段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“这张卡对我们很重要。”可知,第一段可描写作者征求儿子大卫的意见是否原谅凯蒂。并写信对切莉表示原谅。
②由第二段首句内容“我们想知道Cherry在看完这封信后会作何反应。”可知,第二段可描写切莉在收到信件后的反应以及之后切莉见到作者的反应和作者明白的道理。
2.续写线索:询问是否原谅——决定原谅凯蒂——写信表达原谅——凯蒂收信后的反应——事后凯蒂见到作者和卢克给出拥抱——作者的感悟
