Scientists at university college london used memory influenced tests on the same group of people's six years apart. They found that the memory of those who watched more than three hours a day declined by an average of eight to ten percent. The research team believes that washing television may be putting additional stress on the mind, which contributes to memory decline. Older people who watch more television are also less likely to participate in activities, and those activities are usually known to preserve a mental function, such as reading, using the internet or playing video games. The researchers say that television viewing may also be a risk factor for alzheimer's, but more research is needed to confirm this link. While watching a television may have educational and relaxation benefits, the researchers advise that adults over the age of fifty should try to baLance television viewing with other activities. If you are concerned that the amount of television you are watching could have a negative impact on your health, you should control the amount of T, V watching each day and take up some healthy hobbies instead.

Whether you are looking for a unique cultural difference or the experience of sheer joy, there is something here for everyone in this article. St. Patrick's Day Dublin, Ireland & New York, the USA, March 17th It has been a cultural and religious celebration held in memory of the death date of Saint Patrick, the foremost patron saint of Ireland, since 1762. On that day, the whole city turns green and many Irish make traditional bread. It is also one of the most fun days of the year, when the whole city turns into a big green party. South by Southwest (SXSW) Austin, the USA, March Founded in 1987, SXSW has been praised by music fans and the media worldwide as one of the top 10 music festivals in the world. It is not only a music feast but also dedicated to the integration of technology and films. You can also enjoy free food, drinks and music. Sounds good? King's Day Amsterdam, Netherlands, April 27th King's Day may well be the best party in Holland and Amsterdam turns a very bright color of orange on April 27th. People celebrate King Willem Alexander's birthday with music, street parties, flea markets, and fun fairs. The king himself travels through the country with his family. Just for Laughs Montreal, Canada, July 14th—30th For comedy lovers there is no other festival in the word better than Montreal's Just for Laughs. The festival concentrates most of its shows in the Latin Quarter. During the day street performers delight the crowds and at night the city comes alive with comedy all over the city. 21. Which of the four festivals mainly involves music and films? A. St. Patrick's Day. B. South by Southwest. C. King's Day. D. Just for Laughs. 22. What do St. Patrick's Day and King's Day have in common? A. They are both religious festivals. B. They are celebrated in the same month. C. They are in honour of the birthday of a great person. D. They both feature a color. 23. What can we learn about Just for Laughs? A. It lasts for a month. B. It provides free food for all. C. It's the best comedy feast. D. It is concerned about the royal family. B By day, Robert Titterton is a lawyer. In his spare  time though he goes on stage beside pianist Maria Raspopova — not as a musician but as her page turner. “I’m not a trained musician, but I’ve learnt to read music so I can help Maria in her performance.” Mr Titterton is chairman of the Omega Ensemble but has been the group’s official page turner for the past four years. His job is to sit beside the pianist and turn the pages of the score so the musician doesn’t have to break the flow of sound by doing it themselves. He said he became just as nervous as those playing instruments on stage. “A lot of skills are needed for the job. You have to make sure you don’t turn two pages at once and make sure you find the repeats in the music when you have to go back to the right spot.” Mr Titterton explained. Being a page turner requires plenty of practice. Some pieces of music can go for 40 minutes and require up to 50 page turns, including back turns for repeat passages. Silent onstage communication is key, and each pianist has their own style of “nodding” to indicate a page turn which they need to practise with their page turner. But like all performances, there are moments when things go wrong. “I was turning the page to get ready for the next page, but the draft wind from the turn caused the spare pages to fall off the stand,” Mr Titterton said, “Luckily I was able to catch them and put them back.” Most page turners are piano students or up-and-coming concert pianists, although Ms Raspopova has once asked her husband to help her out on stage. “My husband is the worst page turner,” she laughed. “He’s interested in the music, feeling every note, and I have to say: ‘Turn, turn!’ Robert is the best page turner I’ve had in my entire life.” 24. What should Titterton be able to do to be a page turner? A. Read music. B. Play the piano. C. Sing songs. D. Fix the instruments. 25. Which of the following best describes Titterton’s job on stage? A. Boring. B. Well-paid. C. Demanding. D. Dangerous. 26. What does Titterton need to practise? A. Counting the pages. B. Recognizing the “nodding”. C. Catching falling objects. D. Performing in his own style. 27. Why is Ms Raspopova’s husband “the worst page turner”? A. He has very poor eyesight. B. He ignores the audience. C. He has no interest in music. D. He forgets to do his job. C Over five decades after being captured, Lolita, the star orca (虎鲸) in Miami Seaquarium, will finally be able to bid adieu to her tiny tank in Florida and return to her home waters of the Pacific Northwest to live out the rest of her days. Lolita, also known as Tokitae or Toki, is a 57-year-old female orca from the now-endangered southern resident orcas that live in the North Pacific Ocean and Washington State’s Puget Sound. Lolita has lived at Miami Seaquarium since 1970, after she was captured from the waters of Puget Sound at 4 years old. Since then, Lolita has performed tricks in the aquarium pool until March 2022, when she was retired from public shows. She is currently the second oldest orca in captivity behind Corky, a 58-year-old male who lives at SeaWorld San Diego. The aquarium announced it will begin the process of returning the orca to her natural habitat in the next two years. But Lolita’s age and the fact that she’s lived in captivity for decades and is unable to find food on her own could complicate her release back into the wild. “In a plan set to take up to two years, she will be first transported by plane to an ocean conservation area in the waters between Washington State and Canada, where trainers will teach her how to catch fish inside a large net,” said Mr. Colby, an environmental historian. “She will also have to build up her muscles, as orcas typically swim about 160 kilometers per day.” One of the organizations campaigning for her release is PETA. “If Lolita is finally returned to her home waters, there will be cheers from around the world,” the group said in a statement sent to Newsweek. “It’ll offer her long-awaited relief after five miserable decades in a narrow tank and send a clear signal to other parks that the days of confining highly intelligent, far-ranging sea animals to prisons are ended.” 28. What do the underlined words “bid adieu to” in paragraph 1 probably mean? A. Burst on to. B. Give way to. C. Say goodbye to. D. Breath through. 29. What do we know about Lolita according to paragraph 2? A. She was retired due to aging problems. B. She is the world’s oldest female orca in captivity. C. She enjoys performing tricks in the aquarium pool. D. She has lived at SeaWorld San Diego for over 50 years. 30. What does Mr. Colby convey in his words? A. Lolita will be merely trained to live in the ocean. B. Lolita’s condition has made her release into the wild tricky. C. It is complicated to find a suitable natural habitat for Lolita. D. Lolita will spend the rest of her life in the ocean conservation area. 31. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. The Challenges of Saving Lolita B The Victory of Lolita’s Retirement C. Lolita: Set to Be Freed to Home Waters D. Lolita: The Most Intelligent Orca in the World D To adapt to climate change, some flowers are darkening their color to protect themselves from the sun’s radiation, new research shows. The study suggests that over the past 75 years, the ultraviolet (UV) pigments (紫外线色素) in flowers have increased in response to rising temperatures and the thinning ozone layer (臭氧层). The flowers won’t look any different to humans, but insects consider the higher levels of UV pigments as a darker color, which could be confusing when they try to find out colorful flowers to land on. The UV-absorbing pigments in flowers work like sunscreen and protect sensitive cells from harmful radiation, Matthew Koski, a plant ecologist at Clemson University, says. He and his team hoped to determine if changes in pigments were a result of environmental change and if so, what are the plants responding to? The team collected dried, pressed plants across North America, Australia and Europe. In total, they studied 1, 238 samples from 42 different species dating back to 1941. Then, using a UV-sensitive camera, they photographed flower petals from each species. Next, they paired the photographs with the historic local temperature and ozone level data from the time the plant was picked to see how the pigment level changed over time. The researchers found that the changes in pigments differ between species a result of the flowers’ structure. Flowers with open, exposed pollen had more UV-absorbing pigments when ozone levels were low and radiation was high. But flowers with pollen surrounded by the petal responded to temperatures, not ozone levels. As climate change continues to intensify, these changes in flowers’ color can affect plant-insect interactions. When the whole flowers get darker, insects might miss the flowers entirely. “This has a negative influence on plant reproduction,” Koski says. 32. What is the cause of flowers’ color changing according to the research? A. The impact of the climate crisis. B. The loss of natural habitats. C. The harm of nuclear radiation. D. The thickening of the ozone layer. 33. How did Koski’s team get their findings? A. By collecting photographs of flowers from different species. B. By analyzing how levels of UV pigments change over time. C. By collecting abundant samples from various species. D. By analyzing historic local temperature and ozone level data. 34. What can we learn about the change in pigments? A. It exists in flowers with exposed pollen only. B. It responds to temperatures and sea levels. C It remains the same regardless of species. D. It varies depending on the flowers’ structure. 35. What is Koski’s attitude toward the change in flowers’ color? A. Concerned. B. Indifferent. C. Unclear. D. Optimistic. 第二节 (共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，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。 Friendship is a very important human relationship and everyone needs good friends.

How do scientists at University College London measure memory loss? A. By recording the time people spend on TV. B. By using memory and fluency tests. C. By tracking people’s living habits. 19. What leads to memory decline in older people? A. Playing video games for hours. B. Watching television for hours. C. Surfing the Internet for hours. 20. What do the researchers advise older people to do? A. Make more friends. B. Sleep eight to ten hours per night. C. Balance TV viewing with other activities. 【答案】18. B 19. B 20. C 【解析】 【原文】A new study suggests watching more than three hours of television a day doubles memory loss in older people. Scientists at University College London used memory and fluency tests on the same group of people six years apart. They found that the memory of those who watched more than three hours a day declined by an average of eight to ten percent. The research team believes that watching television may be putting additional stress on the mind, which contributes to memory decline. Older people who watch more television are also less likely to participate in activities. And those activities are usually known to preserve mental function, such as reading, using the Internet or playing video games. The researchers say that television viewing may also be a risk factor for Alzheimer’s(阿尔兹海默病), but more research is needed to confirm this link. While watching television may have educational and relaxation benefits, the researchers advise that adults over the age of 50 should try to balance television viewing with other activities. If you’re concerned that the amount of television you’re watching could have a negative impact on your health, you should control the amount of TV watching each day and take up some healthy hobbies instead. 第二部分 阅读 (共两节，满分50分) 第一节 (共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分) 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A Festivals are a great way to experience a destination in a different way. Whether you are looking for a unique cultural difference or the experience of sheer joy, there is something here for everyone in this article. St. Patrick's Day Dublin, Ireland & New York, the USA, March 17th It has been a cultural and religious celebration held in memory of the death date of Saint Patrick, the foremost patron saint of Ireland, since 1762. On that day, the whole city turns green and many Irish make traditional bread. It is also one of the most fun days of the year, when the whole city turns into a big green party. South by Southwest (SXSW) Austin, the USA, March Founded in 1987, SXSW has been praised by music fans and the media worldwide as one of the top 10 music festivals in the world. It is not only a music feast but also dedicated to the integration of technology and films. You can also enjoy free food, drinks and music. Sounds good? King's Day Amsterdam, Netherlands, April 27th King's Day may well be the best party in Holland and Amsterdam turns a very bright color of orange on April 27th. People celebrate King Willem Alexander's birthday with music, street parties, flea markets, and fun fairs. The king himself travels through the country with his family. Just for Laughs Montreal, Canada, July 14th—30th For comedy lovers there is no other festival in the word better than Montreal's Just for Laughs. The festival concentrates most of its shows in the Latin Quarter. During the day street performers delight the crowds and at night the city comes alive with comedy all over the city. 21. Which of the four festivals mainly involves music and films? A. St. Patrick's Day. B. South by Southwest. C. King's Day. D. Just for Laughs. 22. What do St. Patrick's Day and King's Day have in common? A. They are both religious festivals. B. They are celebrated in the same month. C. They are in honour of the birthday of a great person. D. They both feature a color. 23. What can we learn about Just for Laughs? A. It lasts for a month. B. It provides free food for all. C. It's the best comedy feast. D. It is concerned about the royal family. 【答案】21. B 22. D 23. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章介绍四个不同地区的节日，以及各自的节日特色。 【21题详解】 细节理解题。根据South by Southwest(SXSW)中“It is not only a music feast but also dedicated to the integration of technology and films.（这不仅仅是一场音乐盛宴，更是一场技术与电影融合的盛宴。）”可知，South by Southwest(SXSW)是关于音乐和电影的节日。选项B符合语意。故选B。 【22题详解】 细节理解题。根据St. Patrick's Day中的“On that day, the whole city turns green（在那一天，整个城市变绿了）”和King's Day中的“Amsterdam turns a very bright color of orange.（阿姆斯特丹变成了一种非常明亮的橙色。）”可知这两个节日都有各自独特的节日颜色。选项D符合语意。故选D。 【23题详解】 细节理解题。根据Just for Laughs中的“For comedy lovers there is no other festival in the world better than Montreal's Just for Laughs.（对于喜剧爱好者来说，世界上没有比蒙特利尔的“笑”节更好的节日了）”可知，对于喜剧爱好者来说,世界上没有什么比蒙特利尔的Just for Laughs更好的节日了。所以Just for Laughs是全世界最好的喜剧节。选项C符合语意。故选C。 B By day, Robert Titterton is a lawyer. In his spare  time though he goes on stage beside pianist Maria Raspopova — not as a musician but as her page turner. “I’m not a trained musician, but I’ve learnt to read music so I can help Maria in her performance.” Mr Titterton is chairman of the Omega Ensemble but has been the group’s official page turner for the past four years. His job is to sit beside the pianist and turn the pages of the score so the musician doesn’t have to break the flow of sound by doing it themselves. He said he became just as nervous as those playing instruments on stage. “A lot of skills are needed for the job. You have to make sure you don’t turn two pages at once and make sure you find the repeats in the music when you have to go back to the right spot.” Mr Titterton explained. Being a page turner requires plenty of practice. Some pieces of music can go for 40 minutes and require up to 50 page turns, including back turns for repeat passages. Silent onstage communication is key, and each pianist has their own style of “nodding” to indicate a page turn which they need to practise with their page turner. But like all performances, there are moments when things go wrong. “I was turning the page to get ready for the next page, but the draft wind from the turn caused the spare pages to fall off the stand,” Mr Titterton said, “Luckily I was able to catch them and put them back.” Most page turners are piano students or up-and-coming concert pianists, although Ms Raspopova has once asked her husband to help her out on stage. “My husband is the worst page turner,” she laughed. “He’s interested in the music, feeling every note, and I have to say: ‘Turn, turn!’ Robert is the best page turner I’ve had in my entire life.” 24. What should Titterton be able to do to be a page turner? A. Read music. B. Play the piano. C. Sing songs. D. Fix the instruments. 25. Which of the following best describes Titterton’s job on stage? A. Boring. B. Well-paid. C. Demanding. D. Dangerous. 26. What does Titterton need to practise? A. Counting the pages. B. Recognizing the “nodding”. C. Catching falling objects. D. Performing in his own style. 27. Why is Ms Raspopova’s husband “the worst page turner”? A. He has very poor eyesight. B. He ignores the audience. C. He has no interest in music. D. He forgets to do his job. 【答案】24. A 25. C 26. B 27. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了为钢琴演奏者做翻页工作的Robert Titterton和他的工作情况。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“I’m not a trained musician, but I’ve learnt to read music so I can help Maria in her performance.(我不是受过训练的音乐家，但我学会了识谱，这样我就可以在Maria的表演中帮助她)”可知，因为Titterton识谱，所以可以在Maria的钢琴表演中为她翻页。故选A项。 【25题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“A lot of skills are needed for the job. You have to make sure you don’t turn two pages at once and make sure you find the repeats in the music when you have to go back to the right spot.(这项工作需要很多技能。你必须确保你不会一次翻两页并且必要的时候确保你回到前面找到音乐重复的部分)”可知，为钢琴家翻页这项工作很需要技巧，所以Titterton的工作要求是很高的。故选C项。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“Silent onstage communication is key, and each pianist has their own style of “nodding” to indicate a page turn which they need to practise with their page turner.(无声的舞台交流是关键，每个钢琴家都有自己的“点头”风格来表示翻页，他们需要和翻页者进行练习)”可知，Titterton需要练习识别钢琴演奏者的“点头”示意来翻页。故选B项。 【27题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“He’s interested in the music, feeling every note, and I have to say: ‘Turn, turn!’(他对音乐很感兴趣，感受着每一个音符，所以我不得不说：“翻页，翻页！”)”可知，Ms Raspopova的丈夫因为对音乐感兴趣，所以帮她翻页的时候总是沉浸在音乐中而忘掉自己的工作，她不得不去提醒。故选D项。 C Over five decades after being captured, Lolita, the star orca (虎鲸) in Miami Seaquarium, will finally be able to bid adieu to her tiny tank in Florida and return to her home waters of the Pacific Northwest to live out the rest of her days. Lolita, also known as Tokitae or Toki, is a 57-year-old female orca from the now-endangered southern resident orcas that live in the North Pacific Ocean and Washington State’s Puget Sound. Lolita has lived at Miami Seaquarium since 1970, after she was captured from the waters of Puget Sound at 4 years old. Since then, Lolita has performed tricks in the aquarium pool until March 2022, when she was retired from public shows. She is currently the second oldest orca in captivity behind Corky, a 58-year-old male who lives at SeaWorld San Diego. The aquarium announced it will begin the process of returning the orca to her natural habitat in the next two years. But Lolita’s age and the fact that she’s lived in captivity for decades and is unable to find food on her own could complicate her release back into the wild. “In a plan set to take up to two years, she will be first transported by plane to an ocean conservation area in the waters between Washington State and Canada, where trainers will teach her how to catch fish inside a large net,” said Mr. Colby, an environmental historian. “She will also have to build up her muscles, as orcas typically swim about 160 kilometers per day.” One of the organizations campaigning for her release is PETA. “If Lolita is finally returned to her home waters, there will be cheers from around the world,” the group said in a statement sent to Newsweek. “It’ll offer her long-awaited relief after five miserable decades in a narrow tank and send a clear signal to other parks that the days of confining highly intelligent, far-ranging sea animals to prisons are ended.” 28. What do the underlined words “bid adieu to” in paragraph 1 probably mean? A. Burst on to. B. Give way to. C. Say goodbye to. D. Breath through. 29. What do we know about Lolita according to paragraph 2? A. She was retired due to aging problems. B. She is the world’s oldest female orca in captivity. C. She enjoys performing tricks in the aquarium pool. D. She has lived at SeaWorld San Diego for over 50 years. 30. What does Mr. Colby convey in his words? A. Lolita will be merely trained to live in the ocean. B. Lolita’s condition has made her release into the wild tricky. C. It is complicated to find a suitable natural habitat for Lolita. D. Lolita will spend the rest of her life in the ocean conservation area. 31 Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. The Challenges of Saving Lolita B. The Victory of Lolita’s Retirement C. Lolita: Set to Be Freed to Home Waters D. Lolita: The Most Intelligent Orca in the World 【答案】28. C 29. A 30. A 31. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇新闻报道。本文主要介绍了虎鲸Lolita，自1970年被人类捕获后，被圈养在迈阿密水族馆生活了五十几年，水族馆近日准备将其释放，让其返回海洋生活的故事，同时介绍了Lolita的安置与放生计划。 【28题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“Over five decades after being captured(在被捕获50多年后)”和下文“return to her home waters of the Pacific Northwest to live out the rest of her days(回到太平洋西北部的家乡水域度过余生)”可知，迈阿密海洋馆的明星虎鲸洛丽塔终于能够告别她在佛罗里达州的小水箱，bid adieu to意为“告别”，和“say goodbye to”意思相近，故选C。 【29题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第二段“Lolita, also known as Tokitae or Toki, is a 57-year-old female orca (洛丽塔，也被称为Tokitae或Toki，是一只57岁的雌性虎鲸)”和“Lolita has lived at Miami Seaquarium since 1970, after she was captured from the waters of Puget Sound at 4 years old. Since then, Lolita has performed tricks in the aquarium pool until March 2022, when she was retired from public shows.(洛丽塔在4岁时从Puget Sound被捕获，自1970年以来一直生活在迈阿密海洋馆。从那以后，洛丽塔一直在水族馆的游泳池里表演，直到2022年3月，她才从公开表演中退休。)”可知，Lolita在迈阿密水族馆里生活了50多年，所以是因为年龄问题，她退休了。故选A。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第三段“In a plan set to take up to two years, she will be first transported by plane to an ocean conservation area in the waters between Washington State and Canada, where trainers will teach her how to catch fish inside a large net(在一项长达两年的计划中，她将首先由飞机运送到华盛顿州和加拿大之间水域的海洋保护区，在那里训练员将教她如何在大网中抓鱼)”和“She will also have to build up her muscles, as orcas typically swim about 160 kilometers per day.(她还必须锻炼肌肉，因为虎鲸通常每天要游160公里左右。)”可知，Mr. Colby的话传达的意思是她要接受在海洋中生活的训练，故选A。 【31题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段“Over five decades after being captured, Lolita, the star orca (虎鲸) in Miami Seaquarium, will finally be able to bid adieu to her tiny tank in Florida and return to her home waters of the Pacific Northwest to live out the rest of her days.(在被捕获50多年后，迈阿密海洋馆的明星虎鲸洛丽塔终于能够告别她在佛罗里达州的小水箱，回到太平洋西北部的家乡水域度过余生。)”可知，本文主要介绍了虎鲸Lolita，自1970年被人类捕获后，被圈养在迈阿密水族馆生活了五十几年，水族馆准备将其释放，让其返回海洋生活的故事，同时介绍了Lolita的安置与放生计划，因此本文最好的标题是C项“Lolita: Set to Be Freed to Home Waters(洛丽塔：准备被释放到家乡水域)”，故选C。 D To adapt to climate change, some flowers are darkening their color to protect themselves from the sun’s radiation, new research shows. The study suggests that over the past 75 years, the ultraviolet (UV) pigments (紫外线色素) in flowers have increased in response to rising temperatures and the thinning ozone layer (臭氧层). The flowers won’t look any different to humans, but insects consider the higher levels of UV pigments as a darker color, which could be confusing when they try to find out colorful flowers to land on. The UV-absorbing pigments in flowers work like sunscreen and protect sensitive cells from harmful radiation, Matthew Koski, a plant ecologist at Clemson University, says. He and his team hoped to determine if changes in pigments were a result of environmental change and if so, what are the plants responding to? The team collected dried, pressed plants across North America, Australia and Europe. In total, they studied 1, 238 samples from 42 different species dating back to 1941. Then, using a UV-sensitive camera, they photographed flower petals from each species. Next, they paired the photographs with the historic local temperature and ozone level data from the time the plant was picked to see how the pigment level changed over time. The researchers found that the changes in pigments differ between species, a result of the flowers’ structure. Flowers with open, exposed pollen had more UV-absorbing pigments when ozone levels were low and radiation was high. But flowers with pollen surrounded by the petal responded to temperatures, not ozone levels. As climate change continues to intensify, these changes in flowers’ color can affect plant-insect interactions. When the whole flowers get darker, insects might miss the flowers entirely. “This has a negative influence on plant reproduction,” Koski says. 32. What is the cause of flowers’ color changing according to the research? A. The impact of the climate crisis. B. The loss of natural habitats. C. The harm of nuclear radiation. D. The thickening of the ozone layer. 33. How did Koski’s team get their findings? A. By collecting photographs of flowers from different species. B. By analyzing how levels of UV pigments change over time. C. By collecting abundant samples from various species. D. By analyzing historic local temperature and ozone level data. 34. What can we learn about the change in pigments? A. It exists in flowers with exposed pollen only. B. It responds to temperatures and sea levels. C. It remains the same regardless of species. D. It varies depending on the flowers’ structure. 35. What is Koski’s attitude toward the change in flowers’ color? A. Concerned. B. Indifferent. C. Unclear. D. Optimistic. 【答案】32. A 33. B 34. D 35.

Such changes often leave us without a friend. (但是，在我们的生活中，有些时候，比如我们最近搬到了一个新的城市，或者换了学校或工作。这样的变化常常使我们失去朋友)”可知，搬到新地方会使我们失去原来的朋友，结合空后的“But for many of us, the process is difficult and requires courage. Here are some helpful suggestions on how to make and keep friends. (但对我们中的许多人来说，这个过程是困难的，需要勇气。这里有一些关于如何交朋友和保持友谊的有用的建议)”可知，此处指出在新环境中交朋友是困难的，但是有一些有用的建议。由此可推知，空处应该指出人们搬到新地方会失去原来朋友的解决办法——即交新朋友，E选项“Making new friends comes easy for some people.(交新朋友对有些人来说很容易)”讲述的内容承接上文的内容，且和下文是转折关系。故选E项。 【37题详解】 根据空前的“Starting a conversation is the second most important step in making new friends. (开始交谈是结交新朋友的第二重要步骤)”可知，交朋友时，开始交谈是第二重要的步骤，所以C选项“Don’t wait to be spoken to.(不要等着别人跟你说话)”讲述的内容衔接空前的内容，且与本段的主题句“Start a conversation.(开始交谈)”内容吻合，符合上下文语境。故选C项。 【38题详解】 分析语篇可知，此处是本段主题句，与其它段落的主题句一致，均为祈使句，根据空后的“Choosing friends with common interests is important in building friendship as these interests always bring you and your friend together. Hanging out will always be a pleasant experience. (选择有共同兴趣的朋友对于建立友谊很重要，因为这些兴趣总是把你和你的朋友联系在一起。出去玩永远是一种愉快的经历)”可知，本段指出交朋友时要和朋友一起做事情，所以B选项“Do things together.(一起做事)”能概括本段主旨。故选B项。 【39题详解】 根据空前的“However, try not to press your new friend with calls, messages or visits as this would likely wear him or her out and finally you may lose your friend. (然而，尽量不要给你的新朋友打电话、发短信或者来访，因为这样可能会让他或她筋疲力尽，最终你可能会失去你的朋友)”以及本段的主题句“Let it grow.(让它成长)”可知，不要急于给你的新朋友打电话、发短信或者来访，要让友谊慢慢成长，所以G选项“So you will need to give your friend time to react to you.(所以你需要给你的朋友时间来回应你)”讲述的内容是要给朋友时间来回应我们，与本段的主题句以及空前的内容吻合。故选G项。 【40题详解】 根据空前的“The best way to enjoy your friendship is to allow your friends to be themselves. (享受友谊的最好方式就是让你的朋友做他们自己)”可知，要让朋友作自己，结合空后的“Try not to change them from who they are to what you want them to be. (尽量不要改变他们，让他们成为你想要他们成为的人)”指出了我们该做什么和不该做什么，由此可知，空处也应是指出我们的做法，D选项“Try not to find fault with your friend.(不要挑你朋友的毛病)”讲述的是不要挑朋友的毛病，承接空前的让朋友做自己，且与空后讲述的内容吻合。故选D项。 第三部分 语言运用 (共两节，满分30分) 第一节 完形填空 (共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面的短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项 (A、B、C和D) 中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 When Susan was a high school student, her English teacher, Fred DiMeo, asked her to carry out a task: Recite (背诵) a poem in front of the whole class. “I had a mild stutter (口吃), which tried the ____41____ of my classmates,” Susan said.
