My teenage son Karl became withdrawn after his father died. As a single parent, I tried to do my best to talk to him. But the more I tried, the more he pulled away when his report card arrived during his junior year, it said that he had been absent 95 times from classes and had six failing grades for the year. At this rate he would never graduate. I sent him to the school adviser, and I even begged him. Nothing worked.
One night I felt so powerless that I got down on my knees and pleaded for help. “Please God, I can’t do anything more for my son. I’m at the end of my rope. I’m giving the whole thing up to you.”
I was at work when I got a phone call. A man introduced himself as the headmaster. “I want to talk to you about Karl’s absences.” Before he could say another word, I choked up and all my disappointment and sadness over Karl came pouring out into the ears of this stranger. “I love my son but I just don’t know what to do. I’ve tried everything to get Karl to go back to school and nothing has worked. It’s out of my hands.” For a moment there was silence on the other end of the line. The headmaster seriously said, “Thank you for your time”, and hung up.
Karl’s next report card showed a marked improvement m nis grades. Finally, he even made the honor roll. In his fourth year, I attended a parent-teacher meeting with Karl. I noticed that his teachers were astonished at the way he had turned himself around. On our way home, he said, “Mum, remember that call from the headmaster last year?” I nodded. “That was me. I thought I’d play a joke but when I heard what you said, it really hit me how much I was hurting you. That’s when I knew I had to make you proud.”
4. What does the underlined word “withdrawn” in paragraph 1 probably mean?
A. Unwilling to communicate. B. Addicted to online games.
C. Unable to control his anger. D. Tired of staying at home.
5. Why was the caller silent on the call?
A. He was too moved to say anything. B. He waited for the mother to continue.
C. He didn’t want to be recognized. D. He didn’t know how to comfort her.
6. What kind of young man is Karl?
A. Brave but self-centered. B. Optimistic but careless.
C Responsible and creative. D. Considerate and determined.
7. What is a suitable title for the text?
A. A Mother’s Struggle B. A Wake-up Call
C. Pain Shapes One into Success D. Love Heals a Broken Heart

It happened to me recently. I was telling someone how much I had enjoyed reading Barack Obama’s Dreams From My Father and how it had changed my views of the former President. A friend I was talking to agreed with me that it was, in his words, “a brilliantly (精彩地) written book”. However, he then went on talking about Mr. Obama in a way which suggested he had no idea of his background at all. I sensed that I was talking to a book liar.
And it seems that my friend is not the only one. Approximately two thirds of people have lied about reading a book which they haven’t. In the World Book Day’s “Report on Guilty Secrets”, Dreams From My Father is at number 9. The report lists ten books, and various authors, which people have lied about reading, and as I’m not one to lie too often (I’d hate to be caught out), I’ll admit here and now that I haven’t read the entire top ten. But I am pleased to say that, unlike 42 percent of people, I have read the book at number one, George Orwell’s 1984. I think it’s really brilliant.
The World Book Day report also has some other interesting information in it. It says that many people lie about having read Jane Austen, Charles Dickens, Fyodor Dostoevsky (I haven’t read him, but haven’t lied about it either) and Herman Melville.
Asked why they lied, the most common reason was to “impress” someone they were speaking to. This could be tricky if the conversation became more in-depth!
But when asked which authors they actually enjoy, people named J. K. Rowling, John Grisham, Sophie Kinsella (ah, the big sellers, in other words). Forty-two percent of people asked admitted they turned to the back of the book to read the end before finishing the story (I’ll come clean — I do this and am astonished that 58 percent said they had never done so).
8. How did the author find his friend a book liar?
A. By discussing the book itself. B. By mentioning a famous name.
C. By looking into his background. D. By judging his manner of speaking.
9. Which of the following is a “guilty secret” according to the World Book Day. report?
A. Dreams From My Father is hardly read. B. The author admitted having read 9 books.
C. 42% of people pretended to have read 1984. D. Charles Dickens is very low on the top-ten list.
10. Why do people lie about reading?
A. To make more friends. B. To appear knowledgeable.
C. To avoid a tricky situation. D. To start an in-depth conversation.
11. What is the author’s attitude to 58% of readers?
A. Uncaring. B. Favorable. C. Friendly. D. Doubtful.
D
Yawning (打哈欠) is something we all do — maybe because we’re bored carrying out boring tasks or because we’re tired. Sometimes, just seeing other people yawn can set you off. But is this biological function really contagious (传染的), and why do we do it in the first place?
Many of us think we open our mouths when we yawn to take in more oxygen, but in fact it appears that there is no clear biological reason. According to BBC Bitesize, new research suggests it might be because yawning cools the brain down and prevents it from overheating, much like the fan in your laptop. This might be why we’re more likely to feel sleepy and yawn in warm temperatures.
What is clear is that we yawn more when we’re exhausted and ready for a nap, and we can’t control when we do it — once we start, there’s no stop ping us! But it’s also true that yawning is a very contagious behavior. John Drury, a researcher from Sussex University found in his research that there is a connect ion between yawning and our social group, specifically how close we are to the people in it. If we identify with the person who exhibits the behavior, we are likely to copy it too.
Another research by the University of Nottingham in 2017 found similar results. They asked volunteers to watch other people yawn. They found their ability to resist yawning when others around them yawned was limited. And the urge to yawn was increased when people were told they couldn’t. They also found, when using electrical stimulation (刺激), that they were able to increase people’s desire to yawn. These findings, they say, could be useful in treating other conditions like Tourette syndrome (综合症), which involve the same area of the brain.
What is certain is that a yawn can creep up on us at any time even when we think we’ re not tired — but, I hope, not when you’re reading this article!
12. What is the purpose of the first paragraph?
A. To share background information. B. To introduce the topic of the text.
C To present the main idea of the text. D. To encourage independent thinking.
13. According to paragraph 2, why do people yawn?
A. To fight tiredness. B. To get more oxygen.
C. To stop the brain breaking down. D. To lower the brain’s temperature.
14. The University of Nottingham researchers found that ________
A. yawning is not a contagious behavior. B. the urge to yawn can’t be controlled.
C. people can be influenced by others’ yawning. D. electrical stimulation helps hold back yawning.
15. What is the text mainly about?
A. The reasons for yawning. B. The influence of yawning.
C. The value of yawning research. D. The methods of yawning research.

My teenage son Karl became withdrawn after his father died. As a single parent, I tried to do my best to talk to him. But the more I tried, the more he pulled away when his report card arrived during his junior year, it said that he had been absent 95 times from classes and had six failing grades for the year. At this rate he would never graduate. I sent him to the school adviser, and I even begged him. Nothing worked.
One night I felt so powerless that I got down on my knees and pleaded for help. “Please God, I can’t do anything more for my son. I’m at the end of my rope. I’m giving the whole thing up to you.”
I was at work when I got a phone call. A man introduced himself as the headmaster. “I want to talk to you about Karl’s absences.” Before he could say another word, I choked up and all my disappointment and sadness over Karl came pouring out into the ears of this stranger. “I love my son but I just don’t know what to do. I’ve tried everything to get Karl to go back to school and nothing has worked. It’s out of my hands.” For a moment there was silence on the other end of the line. The headmaster seriously said, “Thank you for your time”, and hung up.
Karl’s next report card showed a marked improvement m nis grades. Finally, he even made the honor roll. In his fourth year, I attended a parent-teacher meeting with Karl. I noticed that his teachers were astonished at the way he had turned himself around. On our way home, he said, “Mum, remember that call from the headmaster last year?” I nodded. “That was me. I thought I’d play a joke but when I heard what you said, it really hit me how much I was hurting you. That’s when I knew I had to make you proud.”
4. What does the underlined word “withdrawn” in paragraph 1 probably mean?
A. Unwilling to communicate. B. Addicted to online games.
C. Unable to control his anger. D. Tired of staying at home.
5. Why was the caller silent on the call?
A. He was too moved to say anything. B. He waited for the mother to continue.
C. He didn’t want to be recognized. D. He didn’t know how to comfort her.

A. Brave but self-centered. B. Optimistic but careless.
C. Responsible and creative. D. Considerate and determined.
7. What is a suitable title for the text?

It happened to me recently. I was telling someone how much I had enjoyed reading Barack Obama’s Dreams From My Father and how it had changed my views of the former President. A friend I was talking to agreed with me that it was, in his words, “a brilliantly (精彩地) written book”. However, he then went on talking about Mr. Obama in a way which suggested he had no idea of his background at all. I sensed that I was talking to a book liar.
And it seems that my friend is not the only one. Approximately two thirds of people have lied about reading a book which they haven’t. In the World Book Day’s “Report on Guilty Secrets”, Dreams From My Father is at number 9. The report lists ten books, and various authors, which people have lied about reading, and as I’m not one to lie too often (I’d hate to be caught out), I’ll admit here and now that I haven’t read the entire top ten. But I am pleased to say that, unlike 42 percent of people, I have read the book at number one, George Orwell’s 1984. I think it’s really brilliant.
The World Book Day report also has some other interesting information in it. It says that many people lie about having read Jane Austen, Charles Dickens, Fyodor Dostoevsky (I haven’t read him, but haven’t lied about it either) and Herman Melville.
Asked why they lied, the most common reason was to “impress” someone they were speaking to. This could be tricky if the conversation became more in-depth!
But when asked which authors they actually enjoy, people named J. K. Rowling, John Grisham, Sophie Kinsella (ah, the big sellers, in other words). Forty-two percent of people asked admitted they turned to the back of the book to read the end before finishing the story (I’ll come clean — I do this and am astonished that 58 percent said they had never done so).
8. How did the author find his friend a book liar?
A. By discussing the book itself. B. By mentioning a famous name.
C. By looking into his background. D. By judging his manner of speaking.
9. Which of the following is a “guilty secret” according to the World Book Day. report?
A. Dreams From My Father is hardly read. B. The author admitted having read 9 books.
C. 42% of people pretended to have read 1984. D. Charles Dickens is very low on the top-ten list.
10. Why do people lie about reading?
A. To make more friends. B. To appear knowledgeable.
C. To avoid a tricky situation. D. To start an in-depth conversation.
11. What is the author’s attitude to 58% of readers?
A. Uncaring. B. Favorable. C. Friendly. D. Doubtful.
【答案】8. A 9. C 10. B 11. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。通过与朋友的交谈,作者发现许多人对自称读过的书籍的内容一知半解,或者知之甚少。作者在文中列举了大家谎称读了而实际上没有读的书目,以及大家号称喜欢的作家和真正喜欢的作家之间的反差,并阐述了大家撒谎的理由。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“A friend I was talking to agreed with me that it was, in his words, “a brilliantly (精彩地) written book”. However, he then went on talking about Mr. Obama in a way which suggested he had no idea of his background at all. I sensed that I was talking to a book liar. (与我交谈的一位朋友同意我的观点,用他的话说,这是一本写得很精彩的书。然而,他继续以一种能暗示出他对奥巴马背景一无所知的方式继续谈论奥巴马。我感觉到我正在和一个说谎的读书人说话。)”可知,作者跟他的朋友谈论有关奥巴马的那本书时,发现朋友对奥巴马的背景一无所知,这暗示出这位朋友其实并没有读过这本书,与朋友对此书的深入讨论暴露了他对奥巴马背景的无知,故选A。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中的“But I am pleased to say that, unlike 42 percent of people, I have read the book at number one, George Orwell’s 1984.(但我很高兴地说,与42%的人不同,我读过排名第一的乔治·奥威尔的书)”可知作者读过乔治•奥威尔的《一九八四》,而42%的人没读过但却装作读过,故选C。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“Asked why they lied, the most common reason was to “impress” someone they were speaking to. This could be tricky if the conversation became more in- depth! (当被问及为什么撒谎的时候,最普遍的理由是想给正在说话的人留下深刻的印象。如果对话变得更加深入,这可能会很棘手!)”可知,人们之所以选择撒谎是想给对方留下一个好的印象。但却无法深入话题。故推知他们无法深入探讨书的内容,真正博学地讲述书里的内容,却想表现得很博学。故选B。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“But when asked which authors they actually enjoy, people named J. K. Rowling, John Grisham, Sophie Kinsella (ah, the big sellers, in other words). Forty- two percent of people asked admitted they turned to the back of the book to read the end before finishing the story (I’ll come clean—I do this and am astonished that 58 percent said they had never done so).. (但当被问及他们真正喜欢哪些作家时,人们的名字是J.K.罗琳、John Grisham、Sophie Kinsella(啊,换句话说是大畅销书作家)。百分之四十二的受访者承认,在读完这个故事之前,他们转向书的后面阅读了结尾。我会坦白:我会这样做。令人惊讶的是,58%的人说他们从未这样做过。)”可知,作者对58%的人说“他们从来没这么做过”表示吃惊,表明作者态度是astonished。故推知作者对其抱有不相信的,怀疑的态度,故选D。

Yawning (打哈欠) is something we all do — maybe because we’re bored carrying out boring tasks or because we’re tired. Sometimes, just seeing other people yawn can set you off. But is this biological function really contagious (传染的), and why do we do it in the first place?
Many of us think we open our mouths when we yawn to take in more oxygen, but in fact it appears that there is no clear biological reason. According to BBC Bitesize, new research suggests it might be because yawning cools the brain down and prevents it from overheating, much like the fan in your laptop. This might be why we’re more likely to feel sleepy and yawn in warm temperatures.
What is clear is that we yawn more when we’re exhausted and ready for a nap, and we can’t control when we do it — once we start, there’s no stop ping us! But it’s also true that yawning is a very contagious behavior. John Drury, a researcher from Sussex University found in his research that there is a connect ion between yawning and our social group, specifically how close we are to the people in it. If we identify with the person who exhibits the behavior, we are likely to copy it too.
Another research by the University of Nottingham in 2017 found similar results. They asked volunteers to watch other people yawn. They found their ability to resist yawning when others around them yawned was limited. And the urge to yawn was increased when people were told they couldn’t. They also found, when using electrical stimulation (刺激), that they were able to increase people’s desire to yawn. These findings, they say, could be useful in treating other conditions like Tourette syndrome (综合症), which involve the same area of the brain.
What is certain is that a yawn can creep up on us at any time even when we think we’ re not tired — but, I hope, not when you’re reading this article!
12. What is the purpose of the first paragraph?
A. To share background information. B. To introduce the topic of the text.

13. According to paragraph 2, why do people yawn?

14. The University of Nottingham researchers found that ________
A. yawning is not a contagious behavior. B. the urge to yawn can’t be controlled.
C. people can be influenced by others’ yawning. D. electrical stimulation helps hold back yawning.
15. What is the text mainly about?

But is this biological function really contagious (传染的), and why do we do it in the first place? (打哈欠是我们都会做的事情——也许是因为我们厌倦了做无聊的任务,或者是因为我们累了。有时候,仅仅是看到别人打哈欠就会让你生气。但是这种生物功能真的具有传染性吗?我们为什么要这样做呢?)”可知,第一段介绍了打哈欠大概的原因,以两个问题引出下文对打哈欠是否有传染性的阐述,因此第一段的目的是引出本文的话题,故选B。

Public Speaking Training
Get a coach
___16___, so get help. Since there are about a billion companies out there all ready to offer you public speaking training and courses, here are some things to look for when deciding the training that's right for you.
Focus on positives
Any training you do to become more effective at public speaking should always focus on the positive aspects of what you already do well. Nothing can hurt confidence more than being told that you aren't doing well. ___17___, so good public speaking training should develop those instead of telling you what you shouldn’t do.
___18___
If you find a public speaking course that looks as though it’s going to give you lots of dos and don'ts, walk away! Your brain is so full of what you’re going to be talking about. ___19___. As far as we’re concerned, there are basically no hard and fast rules about public speaking. Your audience can be your friends.
You are a special person not a clone.
Most importantly, good public speaking training should treat you as a special one, with your own personal habits. ___20___. Your training course should help you bring out your personality, not try to turn you into someone you're not.
A. You aren’t like anybody else
B. You already do lots of things well

【17题详解】
根据下文 so good public speaking training should develop those(好的公共演讲培训应该培养这些能力,而不是告诉你你不应该做什么事。)与空格形成因果关系,所以空格中应表达“你已经做得很好了"的含义。故选B。
【18题详解】
本题位于段首,为整段的主旨大意。本段第一句中提到 lots of dos and don’ts,walk away!可知,如果有的培训讲太多的条条框框的话,要对条条框框说不。故选C(要对条条框框说不)作为本段主旨,符合题意。故选C。
【19题详解】
根据上一句 Your brain is so full of what you’re going to be talking about(你的脑子里满是你要讲的内容。)可知后一空与前一句形成因果关系,脑子里装满了条条框框只会使情况变得更糟。故选G。
【20题详解】
