I still remember the days when I was a youthful student in an engineering school. I lived a casual life, without caring about the future. I smoked, drank with friends and made girlfriends. Little did I realized that casualness would certainly lead to loss.
Two years had passed and I was staring down a report card that highlighted FAIL in more than half the subjects. I didn't care, at least not till my dad found out about it. You see, I studied in India and unlike the United States where the students are expected to finance their own education, my dad financed me.
Then came the day when my dad found out my habit of smoking. He lost his temper but he just told me,“ son, your allowance is cut in half from this moment on.” It hit me like a roundhouse kick from Bruce Lee. I was jolted(震摇) out of my bones! I couldn't comprehend how to pay off the debts that I had accumulated in college. I owed everybody money: the grocery store, the bars, the restaurants, my friends, ect. I was living a life filled with credit.
When I came back to college, I knew if I didn’t change the way I live my life I wouldn't be able to pay everybody off. So I decided to make some changes, drastic changes. I quitted smoking, cut off from my friends who led me down the wrong road, starting hanging out in libraries and reading my engineering books.
One year later, I went from a miserable failure to a magna cum laude(优等成绩). Life was never the same again. This incident made me know that anything is possible if you take action and do something about it, however small or large. Even today it still motivates me when I feel that I'm about to lose or give up. It reminds me that I can do it!

How loneliness spreads
Loneliness can also spread. A friend of a lonely person was 52 per cent more likely to develop feelings of loneliness. And a friend of that friend was 25 per cent more likely to do the same.
Earlier findings showed that happiness, fatness and the ability to stop smoking can also spread within social groups. The findings all come from a major health study in the American town of Framingham, Massachusetts.
The study began in 1948 to investigate the causes of heart disease. Since then, more tests have been added, including measures of loneliness and depression.
The new findings involved more than 5,000 people in the second generation of the Framingham Heart Study. The researchers examined friendship histories and reports of loneliness. The results established a pattern that spread as people reported fewer close friends.
For example, loneliness can affect relationships between next-door neighbors. The loneliness spreads as neighbors who were close friends now spend less time together. The study also found that loneliness spreads more easily among women than men.
The average person is said to experience feelings of loneliness about forty-eight days a year. The study found that having a lonely friend can add about seventeen days. But every additional friend can decrease loneliness by about five per cent, or two and a half days.
Lonely people become less and less trusting of others. This makes it more and more difficult for them to make friends — and more likely that society will reject them.
John Cacioppo at the University of Chicago led the study. He says it is important to recognize and deal with loneliness. He says people who have been pushed to the edges of society should receive help to repair their social networks.
The aim should be to create what he calls a “protective barrier” against loneliness. This barrier, he says, can keep the whole network from coming apart.
46.From the passage we can infer that the research subjects of the Framingham Heart Study _____.
A.are all about mental health B.have been added continually
C.are about the causes of heart disease D.is to create a “protective barrier”
47.Tom is a lonely man. He has a wife, a son, a sister and a close friend Mike. According to Paragraph 4, who does the underlined phrase “the second generation” involve?
A.Ton’s wife. B.Tom’s son. C.Tom’s sister. D.Mike.
48.Why are lonely people difficult to make friends with others?
A.Because they have poor communication skills.
B.Because they always keep doubtful of others.
C.Because they are rejected by others.
D.Because they are affected by their friends.
49.In John Cacioppo’s opinion, _____.
A.lonely people should be given a hand by society
B.the protective barrier should be repaired for lonely people
C.the number of lonely women is larger than that of men
D.it’s impossible for lonely people to make any friends
50.In which column can you read this passage in a newspaper?
A.This Is America. B.Science in News.
C.Explorations. D.Health Report.
D
Lining up to board a plane has become a star k indicator of how our society has commodified (商品化的) the very act of waiting. The more you pay, the sooner you can get on the plane and the less likely you will have to check a bag. It’s not just airlines, it’s also museums, online purchases and amusement parks where VIP status can help you avoid lines. When did the act of waiting get such a bad reputation?
The very act of waiting can enhance our appreciation of something. We savor (欣赏) the anticipation like a child waiting for Christmas or summer vacation. Perhaps the person waiting in line to see his favorite singer perform in concert relishes the night more because of the time invested in getting into the venue.
As our world has sped up, this desirable balance between instant and delayed gratification (满足) is at ever greater odds with the current expectations of many people. This change has a negative impact on mental health both individually and collectively. When we look down upon the act of waiting, we risk losing an important part of our shared humanity. Being forced to wait is often seen as a sign of being less well off or ‘not in the game’. It encourages privileged impatience and disrespect for those who are caught waiting.
The ability to wait patiently is very important for a civitized society; it’s a key skill we all need. If we lose our patience and can’t wait in line or for our turn, we end up feeling the stress of a fast-paced world. Furthermore, if we call people who wait “losers”, we are being unfair and may act without thinking about how our actions affect others. This kind of thinking makes us see those who wait as different and less important, which is a harmful way to treat others.
Of course, we should not have to wait patiently for everything. For example, there are times when injustice deserves immediate action. Asking people to wait can be a calculated block to change. In a larger context though, it behoves (理应) all of us to understand the act of waiting not only as a necessary evil but also as an important function which allows us to participate fully alongside our fellow travelers in life.
51.What is the purpose of the author’s writing Paragraph 1?
A.To reach a conclusion. B.To make a comparison.
C.To propose a suggestion. D.To present a phenomenon.
52.What benefit of waiting is emphasized by the author?
A.Enhanced appreciation of experiences. B.Increased frustration and impatience.
C.Immediate access to all desires. D.Decreased value of time.
53.What factor contributes to a stable attitude while waiting?
A.. Growing expectations for speedy service.
B.Appreciating the moment and anticipating.
C.Understanding through technological progress.
D.Experiencing the quickening pace of everyday life.
54.Which statement will the author probably agree with?
A.Waiting is an important part of our shared humanity.
B.Waiting means that one is at a disadvantage state.
C.Waiting is wrong and should be avoided.
D.Waiting helps us treat each other better.
55.What point is made in the last paragraph about waiting?
A.Immediate action is sometimes necessary and justified.
B.Waiting is a waste of time without real purpose.
C.Patience is no longer a virtue in today’s society.
D.Waiting always fences the change.

A major source of teen stress is school exams, and test anxiety is not uncommon. When you recognize your teen is under stress, how can parents help your teen stay calm before an exam?
Be involved. Parents need to be involved in their teen’s work. The best thing is simply to listen. What they look for is your presence — to talk, to cry, or simply to sit with them quietly. Communicate openly with your teen. Encourage your teen to express her worries and fears, but don’t let them focus on those fears.
Help them get organized. Help your teen think about what she has to study and plan accordingly. Together, you and your teen can work out a time-table in which she can study for what she knows will be on the test.
Provide a calm setting. Help your teen set up a quiet place to study and protect his privacy. Give them a nutritious diet. It is important for your teen to eat a healthy, balanced diet during exam times to focus and do her best. Exam stress can make some teens lose their appetite. If this happens, encourage your teen to eat light meals or sandwiches. A healthy diet, rather than junk food, is best for reducing stress.
Encourage your teen to relax. Persuade your teenager to get some sleep and /or do something active when she needs a real break from studying. Making time for relaxation, fun, and exercise, which are all important in reducing stress. Help your teen balance her time so that she will feel comfortable taking time out from studying to spend time with friends or rest.
Show a positive attitude. A parent’s attitude will dictate their teen’s emotions. Your panic, anxiety and blame contribute to your teen’s pressure. Make your teen feel accepted and valued for her efforts. Most importantly, reassure your teen that things will be all right, no matter what the results are.
56.What is mainly talked about in this passage? (no more than 20 words)
57.How many ways to reduce the stress and anxiety are there in this article?

A.am walking, healed B.will be walking, will have healed
C.walks, is going to heal D.have been walking, heals
【答案】B
【详解】考查时态。句意:根据医生的说法,下周这个时候,我将会像往常一样走路,而且我脚上的伤口也将完全愈合。walk“走路”,heal“康复”。根据时间状语this time next week可知,这里描述的是将来某一时间点正在进行的动作,and前的句子时态应用将来进行时,即will be doing形式,本题用will be walking。the cut on my foot的“康复”是到那时已经完成的动作,and后的句子时态应用将来完成时,即will have done形式,本题用will have healed。故选B。

B
I still remember the days when I was a youthful student in an engineering school. I lived a casual life, without caring about the future. I smoked, drank with friends and made girlfriends. Little did I realized that casualness would certainly lead to loss.
Two years had passed and I was staring down a report card that highlighted FAIL in more than half the subjects. I didn't care, at least not till my dad found out about it. You see, I studied in India and unlike the United States where the students are expected to finance their own education, my dad financed me.
Then came the day when my dad found out my habit of smoking. He lost his temper but he just told me,“ son, your allowance is cut in half from this moment on.” It hit me like a roundhouse kick from Bruce Lee. I was jolted(震摇) out of my bones! I couldn't comprehend how to pay off the debts that I had accumulated in college. I owed everybody money: the grocery store, the bars, the restaurants, my friends, ect. I was living a life filled with credit.
When I came back to college, I knew if I didn’t change the way I live my life I wouldn't be able to pay everybody off. So I decided to make some changes, drastic changes. I quitted smoking, cut off from my friends who led me down the wrong road, starting hanging out in libraries and reading my engineering books.
One year later, I went from a miserable failure to a magna cum laude(优等成绩). Life was never the same again. This incident made me know that anything is possible if you take action and do something about it, however small or large. Even today it still motivates me when I feel that I'm about to lose or give up. It reminds me that I can do it!

How loneliness spreads
Loneliness can also spread. A friend of a lonely person was 52 per cent more likely to develop feelings of loneliness. And a friend of that friend was 25 per cent more likely to do the same.
Earlier findings showed that happiness, fatness and the ability to stop smoking can also spread within social groups. The findings all come from a major health study in the American town of Framingham, Massachusetts.
The study began in 1948 to investigate the causes of heart disease. Since then, more tests have been added, including measures of loneliness and depression.
The new findings involved more than 5,000 people in the second generation of the Framingham Heart Study. The researchers examined friendship histories and reports of loneliness. The results established a pattern that spread as people reported fewer close friends.
For example, loneliness can affect relationships between next-door neighbors. The loneliness spreads as neighbors who were close friends now spend less time together. The study also found that loneliness spreads more easily among women than men.
The average person is said to experience feelings of loneliness about forty-eight days a year. The study found that having a lonely friend can add about seventeen days. But every additional friend can decrease loneliness by about five per cent, or two and a half days.
Lonely people become less and less trusting of others. This makes it more and more difficult for them to make friends — and more likely that society will reject them.
John Cacioppo at the University of Chicago led the study. He says it is important to recognize and deal with loneliness. He says people who have been pushed to the edges of society should receive help to repair their social networks.
The aim should be to create what he calls a “protective barrier” against loneliness. This barrier, he says, can keep the whole network from coming apart.
46.From the passage we can infer that the research subjects of the Framingham Heart Study _____.
A.are all about mental health B.have been added continually
C.are about the causes of heart disease D.is to create a “protective barrier”
47.Tom is a lonely man. He has a wife, a son, a sister and a close friend Mike. According to Paragraph 4, who does the underlined phrase “the second generation” involve?
A.Ton’s wife. B.Tom’s son. C.Tom’s sister. D.Mike.
48.Why are lonely people difficult to make friends with others?
A.Because they have poor communication skills.
B.Because they always keep doubtful of others.
C.Because they are rejected by others.
D.Because they are affected by their friends.
49.In John Cacioppo’s opinion, _____.
A.lonely people should be given a hand by society
B.the protective barrier should be repaired for lonely people
C.the number of lonely women is larger than that of men
D.it’s impossible for lonely people to make any friends
50.In which column can you read this passage in a newspaper?
A.This Is America. B.Science in News.
C.Explorations. D.Health Report.
【答案】46.B 47.D 48.B 49.A 50.B
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了研究表明孤独是可以传播,并介绍了如何传播的及如何应对。

Since then, more tests have been added, including measures of loneliness and depression.(这项研究始于1948年,目的是调查心脏病的病因。从那以后,增加了更多的测试,包括孤独和抑郁的测试)”可推测,第三段的研究就是介绍the Framingham Heart Study,该研究不断地在增加新的测试,在持续增加并观察新的研究对象。故选B项。
47.推理判断题。根据第四段划线词下文“The researchers examined friendship histories and reports of loneliness. The results established a pattern that spread as people reported fewer close friends.(研究人员调查了友谊史和孤独感报告。研究结果建立了一种模式,随着人们报告的亲密朋友越来越少,这种模式也会传播开来)”及第五段“For example, loneliness can affect relationships between next-door neighbors. The loneliness spreads as neighbors who were close friends now spend less time together. (例如,孤独会影响隔壁邻居之间的关系。曾经是亲密朋友的邻居现在在一起的时间越来越少,孤独感也随之蔓延)”可推测,该研究的第二代研究对象应该是孤独者的朋友或邻居。故选D项。
48.细节理解题。根据倒数第三段“Lonely people become less and less trusting of others. This makes it more and more difficult for them to make friends — and more likely that society will reject them.(孤独的人变得越来越不相信别人。这使得他们交朋友越来越困难,社会也更有可能排斥他们)”可知,孤独的人很难和别人交朋友,因为他们总是怀疑别人。故选B项。
49.细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“John Cacioppo at the University of Chicago led the study. He says it is important to recognize and deal with loneliness. He says people who have been pushed to the edges of society should receive help to repair their social networks.(芝加哥大学的John Cacioppo领导了这项研究。他说,认识和处理孤独是很重要的。他说,那些被推到社会边缘的人应该得到帮助来修复他们的社交网络)”可知,John Cacioppo认为,社会应该对这些孤独者伸出援手,给与帮助。故选A项。
50.推理判断题。根据第二段“Earlier findings showed that happiness, fatness and the ability to stop smoking can also spread within social groups. The findings all come from a major health study in the American town of Framingham, Massachusetts.(早期的研究发现,快乐、肥胖和戒烟的能力也能在社会群体中传播。这些发现都来自美国马萨诸塞州弗雷明汉镇的一项重大健康研究)”并综合全文可知,文章介绍的是科学研究的成果。由此推测,该文应刊登在报纸的科学领域新闻版块。故选B项。

Lining up to board a plane has become a star k indicator of how our society has commodified (商品化的) the very act of waiting. The more you pay, the sooner you can get on the plane and the less likely you will have to check a bag. It’s not just airlines, it’s also museums, online purchases and amusement parks where VIP status can help you avoid lines. When did the act of waiting get such a bad reputation?
The very act of waiting can enhance our appreciation of something. We savor (欣赏) the anticipation like a child waiting for Christmas or summer vacation. Perhaps the person waiting in line to see his favorite singer perform in concert relishes the night more because of the time invested in getting into the venue.
As our world has sped up, this desirable balance between instant and delayed gratification (满足) is at ever greater odds with the current expectations of many people. This change has a negative impact on mental health both individually and collectively. When we look down upon the act of waiting, we risk losing an important part of our shared humanity. Being forced to wait is often seen as a sign of being less well off or ‘not in the game’. It encourages privileged impatience and disrespect for those who are caught waiting.
The ability to wait patiently is very important for a civitized society; it’s a key skill we all need. If we lose our patience and can’t wait in line or for our turn, we end up feeling the stress of a fast-paced world. Furthermore, if we call people who wait “losers”, we are being unfair and may act without thinking about how our actions affect others. This kind of thinking makes us see those who wait as different and less important, which is a harmful way to treat others.
Of course, we should not have to wait patiently for everything. For example, there are times when injustice deserves immediate action. Asking people to wait can be a calculated block to change. In a larger context though, it behoves (理应) all of us to understand the act of waiting not only as a necessary evil but also as an important function which allows us to participate fully alongside our fellow travelers in life.
51.What is the purpose of the author’s writing Paragraph 1?
A.To reach a conclusion. B.To make a comparison.
C.To propose a suggestion. D.To present a phenomenon.
52.What benefit of waiting is emphasized by the author?
A.Enhanced appreciation of experiences. B.Increased frustration and impatience.
C.Immediate access to all desires. D.Decreased value of time.
53.What factor contributes to a stable attitude while waiting?
A.. Growing expectations for speedy service.
B.Appreciating the moment and anticipating.
C.Understanding through technological progress.
D.Experiencing the quickening pace of everyday life.
54.Which statement will the author probably agree with?
A.Waiting is an important part of our shared humanity.
B.Waiting means that one is at a disadvantage state.
C.Waiting is wrong and should be avoided.
D.Waiting helps us treat each other better.
55.What point is made in the last paragraph about waiting?
A.Immediate action is sometimes necessary and justified.
B.Waiting is a waste of time without real purpose.
C.Patience is no longer a virtue in today’s society.
D.Waiting always fences the change.

【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要讨论了等待这种行为以及其对人们的影响。
51.推理判断题。根据文章第一段“Lining up to board a plane has become a star k indicator of how our society has commodified (商品化的) the very act of waiting. The more you pay, the sooner you can get on the plane and the less likely you will have to check a bag. It’s not just airlines, it’s also museums, online purchases and amusement parks where VIP status can help you avoid lines. When did the act of waiting get such a bad reputation? (排队登机已经成为我们社会将等待行为商品化的一个鲜明标志。你付的钱越多,你就能越快登机,而且你越不可能需要托运行李。不仅是航空公司,博物馆、网上购物和游乐园也是如此,在这些地方,VIP 身份可以帮助你避免排队。等待这种行为什么时候变得如此声名狼藉了?)”可知,作者通过第一段呈现了一个社会现象,即排队等候已经成为了一种商品化的行为,并且提出了一个问题,即等待这种行为什么时候变得如此声名狼藉了。由此可知,作者写第一段的目的是呈现一种现象。故选D。
52.细节理解题。根据文章第二段“The very act of waiting can enhance our appreciation of something. (等待的行为本身就能增强我们对某事的欣赏)”可知,作者强调了等待可以增强我们对某事的欣赏。故选A。
53.细节理解题。根据文章第二段“We savor (欣赏) the anticipation like a child waiting for Christmas or summer vacation. (我们像孩子等待圣诞节或暑假一样享受着期待)”以及第三段“As our world has sped up, this desirable balance between instant and delayed gratification (满足) is at ever greater odds with the current expectations of many people. (随着我们的世界加速发展,这种即时满足和延迟满足之间的理想平衡与许多人的当前期望越发不一致。)”可知,作者认为,享受期待和理解即时满足和延迟满足之间的平衡有助于在等待时保持稳定的态度。故选B。
54.推理判断题。根据文章第四段“If we lose our patience and can’t wait in line or for our turn, we end up feeling the stress of a fast-paced world. (如果我们失去耐心,不能排队或等待轮到我们,我们最终会感受到快节奏世界的压力。)”和最后一段“In a larger context though, it behoves (理应) all of us to understand the act of waiting not only as a necessary evil but also as an important function which allows us to participate fully alongside our fellow travelers in life. (不过,从更广泛的角度来看,我们所有人都应该理解等待这种行为,它不仅是一种必要的恶,也是一种重要的功能,它使我们能够与生活中的同路人一起充分参与)”可知,作者认为等待是我们共同人性的重要组成部分。故选A。
55.推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Of course, we should not have to wait patiently for everything. (当然,我们不应该对一切都耐心等待。)”以及“For example, there are times when injustice deserves immediate action. (例如,有时不公正的行为应该立即采取行动。)”可知,作者认为对不公正的行为立即采取行动有时是必要和合理的。故选A。

A major source of teen stress is school exams, and test anxiety is not uncommon. When you recognize your teen is under stress, how can parents help your teen stay calm before an exam?
Be involved. Parents need to be involved in their teen’s work. The best thing is simply to listen. What they look for is your presence — to talk, to cry, or simply to sit with them quietly. Communicate openly with your teen. Encourage your teen to express her worries and fears, but don’t let them focus on those fears.
Help them get organized. Help your teen think about what she has to study and plan accordingly. Together, you and your teen can work out a time-table in which she can study for what she knows will be on the test.
Provide a calm setting. Help your teen set up a quiet place to study and protect his privacy. Give them a nutritious diet. It is important for your teen to eat a healthy, balanced diet during exam times to focus and do her best. Exam stress can make some teens lose their appetite. If this happens, encourage your teen to eat light meals or sandwiches. A healthy diet, rather than junk food, is best for reducing stress.
Encourage your teen to relax. Persuade your teenager to get some sleep and /or do something active when she needs a real break from studying. Making time for relaxation, fun, and exercise, which are all important in reducing stress. Help your teen balance her time so that she will feel comfortable taking time out from studying to spend time with friends or rest.
Show a positive attitude. A parent’s attitude will dictate their teen’s emotions. Your panic, anxiety and blame contribute to your teen’s pressure. Make your teen feel accepted and valued for her efforts. Most importantly, reassure your teen that things will be all right, no matter what the results are.
