社区生活
鼓手走人
摇滚乐队“暴风雨”的鼓手马明不得不收拾行李。他搬出租用的公寓,因为邻居们投诉他扰乱社区的宁静。
马明是个单身汉,经常在晚上开派对,但最大的问题是他常常打鼓到深夜。邻居说他们都快被这样的噪音逼疯了。房东说如果他知道马明是个鼓手,就不会把房子租给他。马明一搬进来,邻居们很快就意识到麻烦来了。从那以后,他们很少能安安稳稳地睡一整晚觉。如果不堵住耳朵,他们就不能放松或者看书。有个邻居还说,马明对他十几岁的儿子造成了不良影响。
最后,居委会采取了行动。一位居委会成员说:“我们投票表决,达成了一项决议。我们警告马明,告诉他应该停止打鼓,否则就搬走。充足的睡眠对人们的健康很重要,收到这样的集体投诉,我们不得不采取行动。”
马明的离开让他的邻居很高兴。“生活终于要恢复正常了,”他们说。
我们在上海的一家酒店里找到了马明,想听听他对这个事件的看法。马明觉得邻居对自己有偏见。他对人们认为他的音乐是“噪音”的事实感到痛心。不过他并不介意离开公寓。“住在旅馆里就意味着每天有服务员整理床铺,我也不必自己洗衣服!不过,我现在正在城郊找位置稍微偏僻一点的房子。”
洗了“大澡”而被捕的爷爷
80岁的退休裁缝詹姆斯·迈奇,周六的晚上是在监狱里度过的,因为用拐杖打了30岁的基思·史密斯的头。迈奇的妻子劳瑞恩说,他平时是个平和、和善的人,是因为再三被淋湿,他才会做出这种暴力的行为。他实在是忍无可忍了。
史密斯住在迈奇家楼上。他热爱园艺,喜欢养鱼。但不幸的是,他每天在阳台上浇的水最后都落到迈奇家的地板上,也经常洒在毫无防备的迈奇夫妇身上。
劳瑞恩说:“过去两周,自从史密斯搬到楼上的公寓,我们都不敢去阳台了。”她补充说,让他们烦恼的不仅是史密斯给植物浇水时洒到阳台上的水,还有他清洗鱼缸的方式。“我们本来高兴地坐在阳台上看报纸,突然间很多水从天而降,把我们都给浇湿了,就像穿着衣服洗了个澡一样!我们很难去掉(身上的)鱼腥味!”
这周六晚上实在是忍无可忍了。劳瑞恩回忆道:“那天是詹姆斯的生日,是个特别美丽的夜晚,可以坐在外面享受夜晚的星空。我给他做了个生日蛋糕,你可以想象点上蜡烛有多么漂亮,可詹姆斯却没能把蜡烛吹灭。”然而,史密斯从阳台上倒掉他的一个大鱼缸中的水,将迈奇夫妇和蛋糕都淋了个通透。“我从没见过他动作那么快,根本没办法阻止,他一下子就冲到楼上去了。”
史密斯不会让警方进一步追究这件事。他还承诺从现在开始改变他的方式。而詹姆斯·迈奇呢?他离开警察局时,一大群支持者为他唱起了《生日快乐》歌。“这绝对是最激动人心的一次生日啦!”老人快乐地说道。“我得说,这是自打我年轻以来最棒的一次生日!”

Ⅰ.阅读理解(每小题2.5分,共20分)
A
(2024·江西赣州期末)
It was a bright and sunny day. Keegan and I arranged to spend the afternoon at his place. Eager to show me his large collection of toys, he took me to his room. Among all the toys, his most treasured one was a model aeroplane. Keegan said it was a gift from his uncle who worked as a pilot.
I wanted to take a closer look so I asked Keegan if I could hold it in my hands. He graciously agreed. Knowing how easily broken the aeroplane was, I carefully removed it from the display cabinet. Just as I was putting it back, I sneezed. “Snap!”One of the wings of the model aeroplane broke in my hands.
When Keegan saw this, tears welled up in his eyes. Soon, tears started to roll down his cheeks uncontrollably. With my head hung low, I rushed out of his house as I did not know how to comfort him.
For the next few days, I stayed out of Keegan’s way in school. I was worried that he would still be angry with me. Feeling sad without his company, I built up the courage to approach Keegan after school one day. I told Keegan, “I am so sorry for breaking your valuable aeroplane. ”
“It’s okay! Our friendship is more important than a toy aeroplane, ” Keegan replied with a smile.
I was extremely touched when I heard what he said. I offered to fix the broken wing of the damaged aeroplane. Keegan took me to his house and we fixed it together.

There is beauty in each moment of our lives,but often we’re too distracted to notice it. Instead,we spend much of our time worrying about the future or regretting the past,and this habit can have negative consequences for our mental and physical health.
That’s why many people today are turning to the practice of mindfulness (正念减压法). Simply put,mindfulness means focusing on the present moment. Let’s say you’re sitting in traffic after a long day’s work. Rather than dwelling on(老是想着) an unpleasant incident that occurred earlier or worrying about your schedule for the next day,you might direct your attention to the sound of the rain drops battering the windshield or to a specific image before you. By directing your attention to the here and now,you automatically shift your focus away from self-image,success,and other stress-inducing concerns.
Such a shift in consciousness helps us form more meaningful connections with others and handle problems with greater ease. It also lets us appreciate life’s many little pleasures. So,it’s not surprising that mindfulness has been found to help in the treatment of depression,anxiety,eating disorders,and even physical problems related to stress,such as heart disease,high blood pressure,and upset stomachs.
How do you practice mindfulness?While it’s often associated with meditation,you don’t actually need to be in a particular place or position to cultivate it. In fact,it can be incorporated(使并入) into almost any daily activity,including eating,walking,showering,or doing the dishes. Let’s take this last activity as an illustration:
Begin by bringing your attention to your breath. Inhale(吸入) through your nose allowing the air to expand your belly,and exhale through your mouth. Notice the sensations as each breath goes in and out.
As you engage in the task of washing the dishes,direct your awareness to the scent of the soap,the sound of the running water,and the feel of the suds (肥皂泡沫) between your fingers. Simply be aware of these and any other immediate sensations without forming any judgments about them.
At times,this process may not be relaxing,especially when what you’re doing is boring or unpleasant. Nevertheless,by practicing mindfulness,we can learn to accept whatever situations life brings us and,over time develop greater happiness.
语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了生活中的美好时刻在我们身边,但我们常常对它视而不见。我们时常担心未来、悔恨过去。那何不试试用“正念”找回真正的人生。
5.Why is the example of “sitting in traffic” mentioned in Paragraph 2?
A.To appreciate beauty at the present moment.
B.To explain the meaning of mindfulness.
C.To describe the traffic accident in the street.
D.To attract the readers’ attention to the traffic.
推理判断题。根据文章第二段可推知,作者以sitting in traffic为例,旨在通过举例的方式来进一步解释说明本段主题,即“mindfulness means focusing on the present moment”。故选B项。
√
6.Which of the following is the benefit of mindfulness?
A.Finding out problems in study more easily.
B.Helping cure diseases like high blood pressure.
C.Allowing us to enjoy small pleasures in life.
D.Making friends with other people in the traffic.
细节理解题。根据第三段中的“It also lets us appreciate life’s many little pleasures. ”可知,正念能让我们享受生活中许多小乐趣。故选C项。
√
7.From the text,mindfulness can be practised by _______.
A.finding a particular place to cultivate it
B.bringing our attention to our breath
C.burying ourselves in washing the dishes
D.putting it to use in our everyday life

√
8.What is the text mainly about?
A.The reasons why people begin to practise mindfulness.
B.The differences between mindfulness and meditation.
C.The benefits of mindfulness and the way to practice it.
D.The ways we should keep healthy mentally and physically.
主旨大意题。通读全文,并根据文章最后一段中的“by practicing mindfulness,we can learn to accept whatever situations life brings us and,over time develop greater happiness”可知,本文先介绍了正念减压法的含义和好处,然后告诉我们怎样进行正念减压训练。故选C项。

Ⅱ.阅读七选五(每小题2.5分,共12.5分)
Criticism is harmful to healthy relationships. 1 First,work on changing your own behavior. Then,find effective ways to communicate if someone bothers you.
Changing Your Behavior
·Think before you speak. 2 Sometimes,it’s best to let small indiscretions (轻率的行为) go. Try taking a few deep breaths and leaving the room instead of criticizing.
·Separate the individual from their actions. If you work on separating the person from the action,you may naturally want to criticize less. As you realize you cannot judge a person’s character based on a single choice or decision,you will be unable to call someone out for being rude or disrespectful.
·Focus on positives. Oftentimes,being critical results from how you’re choosing to see a situation. Everyone has shortcomings. However,the vast majority of people have good qualities that outweigh bad ones.
3 .
Communicating More Effectively
· 4 Some people have issues that may need addressing. However,feedback is very different from criticism. When addressing an issue,focus on suggestions you can make to help another person improve,which is more effective than criticizing.
·Ask for what you want directly. Inefficient communication often results in heavy criticism. 5 Make sure to ask for what you want in a direct,respectful manner. This will eliminate (消除) the need for criticism.
·Consider the other party’s perspective. If you criticize others too often,you may be shutting out the other person’s point of view. Try to step in another person’s shoes before criticizing and you may get some new and special ideas.
A.Give feedback rather than criticism.
B.However,there are ways to avoid criticism.
C.Try to focus on a person’s positive qualities over their negative ones.
D.If you find yourself making assumptions about a person’s character,stop yourself.
E.If you’re not telling someone what you want,that person cannot be expected to know.
F.Criticism should,ideally,be working towards an effective solution to a negative situation.
G.When you want to dish out criticism,pause and consider whether you really need to say anything.
语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一些如何避免批评别人的方法。
Criticism is harmful to healthy relationships. _______________________ ____________________ First,work on changing your own behavior. Then,find effective ways to communicate if someone bothers you.
B.However,there are ways to avoid criticism.
上文“Criticism is harmful to healthy relationships. ”说明人际交往中批评别人不利于关系的健康发展。下文“First,work on changing your own behavior. Then,find effective ways to communicate if someone bothers you. ”给出了一些具体的解决方法。B项“然而,这里有避免批评的方法”承接上文,引起下文,符合语境。故选B项。
Changing Your Behavior
·Think before you speak. _____________________________________ __________________________________________________ Sometimes,it’s best to let small indiscretions (轻率的行为) go. Try taking a few deep breaths and leaving the room instead of criticizing.
G.When you want to dish out criticism,pause and consider whether you really need to say anything.
上文“Think before you speak. ”说明该段给出的建议是说话之前应该好好思考。G项是对该段主旨的进一步解释,说明想要批评之前应该先思考,符合语境。故选G项。
·Separate the individual from their actions. If you work on separating the person from the action,you may naturally want to criticize less. As you realize you cannot judge a person’s character based on a single choice or decision,you will be unable to call someone out for being rude or disrespectful.
·Focus on positives. Oftentimes,being critical results from how you’re choosing to see a situation. Everyone has shortcomings. However,the vast majority of people have good qualities that outweigh bad ones. _____________ _______________________________________________
C. Try to focus on a person’s positive qualities over their negative ones.
该段主旨句“Focus on positives. ”以及空前“Oftentimes,being critical results from how you’re choosing to see a situation. Everyone has shortcomings. However,the vast majority of people have good qualities that outweigh bad ones. ”说明该段主要讲述每个人都有缺点,然而大多数人的优点多于缺点,人们应该多关注别人积极的方面。C项承接上文,其中的“focus on a person’s positive qualities”和段首“Focus on positives. ”相呼应,说明我们应该多关注一个人的积极品质。故选C项。
Communicating More Effectively
·__________________________________ Some people have issues that may need addressing. However,feedback is very different from criticism. When addressing an issue,focus on suggestions you can make to help another person improve,which is more effective than criticizing.
A.Give feedback rather than criticism.
小标题Communicating More Effectively说明该部分给出的避免批评的方法是进行有效的沟通。下文“Some people have… which is more effective than criticizing. ”说明该段主要讲述帮助别人解决问题时,反馈并且给出建议比批评更有效。由此可知,A项“给予反馈而不是批评。”概括本段内容,符合语境。故选A项。
·Ask for what you want directly. Inefficient communication often results in heavy criticism. _________________________________________________ _______________________________ Make sure to ask for what you want in a direct,respectful manner. This will eliminate (消除) the need for criticism.

段首句“Ask for what you want directly. ”说明该段主要讲述在有效沟通中需要直接表达自己的需求。上文“Inefficient communication often results in heavy criticism. ”说明无效的沟通会导致批评。下文“Make sure to ask for what you want in a direct,respectful manner. This will eliminate (消除) the need for criticism. ”说明直接提出需求是有效的沟通方式,会消除沟通过程中的批评。E项承上启下,说明在有效沟通中要直接说出自己的需求,否则别人将不会知道,这将导致无效的沟通和批评。故选E项。

语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍的是友谊的重要性和如何应对失去的友谊。
sadness
yourself
requires
to forget
1.答案:which/that
考查定语从句。空处引导的是定语从句,从句中缺少主语,先行词为friendship,指物,因此空处用关系代词which或that,故填which/that。
2.答案:with
考查介词。provide sb with sth 是固定短语,意为“给某人提供某物”,因此空处用介词with,故填with。
3.答案:going
考查非谓语动词。end up doing是固定短语,意为“最终做某事”,因此空处用动词-ing形式。故填going。
4.答案:Unluckily
考查词性转换。空处用副词作状语,修饰整句话,unlucky的副词是unluckily,意为“不幸的是”,位于句首,首字母大写,故填Unluckily。
5.答案:is broken
考查动词的时态、语态和主谓一致。分析句子结构可知,if引导的是条件状语从句,描述客观事实,时态用一般现在时,由by可知,句子用被动语态,因此空处是一般现在时的被动语态,主语trust是不可数名词,因此空处用第三人称单数形式。故填is broken。
6.答案:a
考查冠词。first feeling意为“第一感觉”,此处表示泛指,前面要加不定冠词,first发音以辅音音素开头。故填a。
7.答案:sadness
考查词性转换。空处用名词作宾语,sad的名词是sadness,意为“悲伤”,是不可数名词,故填sadness。
8.答案:yourself
考查反身代词。根据语境可知,此处表示“你可以多关注自己”,空处意为“你自己”,用反身代词yourself,故填yourself。
9.答案:requires
考查动词的时态和主谓一致。空处的句子是祈使句,句子描述客观事实,时态用一般现在时,主语friendship是单数,因此空处用第三人称单数形式,故填requires。
10.答案:to forget
考查非谓语动词。it is wise of sb to do sth是固定句型,意为“某人做某事是明智的”,其中it是形式主语,真正的主语是动词不定式,因此空处用动词不定式。故填to forget。
