Here are some of the best places I discovered when I was sent to the branch in Paris to cover an event. Groundstate Cafe Sitting in the heart of the city, Groundstate Cafe is always recommended by news reporters. You can easily enjoy a carefree day with a book and a cup of coffee. Groundstate is a popular spot for artists because of the ancient paintings collected by the shop owner. The waiters are always ready to help you. Le Procope Located on a downtown street, Le Procope is famous for its enthusiastic service and delicious snacks. Office workers always chat with their friends and have fun with their colleagues. You can enjoy the fresh air and sunshine because they only have seats outdoors. As a result, the owner only runs the shop during the warm seasons. Coutume Café Situated in the city centre, Coutume Cafe is popular among businessmen to meet their clients. The cafe promotes a life of luxury with fantastic decoration and comfortable chairs. Waiters who are highly educated and elegant can help visitors choose the right type of coffee. Motors This recently-opened coffee shop is located in the countryside. They sell delicious local desserts. The waitresses there are helpful and friendly. Some of them are college students who take part-time jobs during weekends. It is also a perfect shopping market for people to buy some coffee products and taste some local delicacies. I am sure that I will bring some products to my colleagues when I return. 1.

Usually, his mind drifted — to playing outside, to his dog, or to the ants. Willard was especially curious about those ants. He felt like them, small and insignificant. He noticed the ants were coming and going from a hole in the dirt. Gathering pieces of wood, Willard constructed a little building for ants. At school, Willard still had problems, but he knew he could do something special. Willard created tiny furniture for the ant houses. His artistic skill increased, and a love for little things began to grow. At age nine, Willard began carving (雕刻) faces on toothpicks. When he showed his mother the carved faces, she said, “This is what you do well. You must work hard to be the best.” Years later, Willard carves the tiniest artwork in the world! His sculptures are so small that several can fit on a full stop at the end of a sentence. Willard works best at night when there are few disturbances. He often works for months to complete a sculpture. Willard’s favorite paintbrush is one hair from the back of a dead fly! To move his sculptures, Willard uses an eyelash. But even that can be tough. Once, while moving a microscopic Alice in Wonderland, his cell phone rang. Terrified, Willard took in a quick breath. When he looked back, Alice was gone. After working for weeks to carve her, he’d accidentally breathed her in! Willard sculpts everything from famous people to fictional characters. Because of their beauty and rarity, his sculptures have made Willard a wealthy man. But he says, “Success isn’t about material things like an expensive watch or a costly ring; it’s about persevering and achieving your dreams.” Willard Wigan who felt small as a boy has shown something small can really be big. 4. What can we know about Willard from paragraph 1? A. He was interested in math. B. He had a physical problem. C. He was crazy about building. D. He thought himself unimportant. 5. What is Willard especially good at? A. Playing word puzzles. B. Observing animals. C. Creating tiny artworks. D. Making furniture. 6. What can we infer from paragraph 3? A. Willard is nervous when working at night. B. Willard uses traditional tools in carving. C. Alice in Wonderland is a huge success. D. Carving takes a lot of time and effort. 7. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. The Big Little Artwork. B. House Building for Ants. C. The True Meaning of Success. D. A Boy with a Disability. 【答案】4. D 5. C 6. D 7. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲的是Willard Wigan自幼患有阅读障碍症，他爱上了创造微小的事物，比如给蚂蚁建一座房子，在妈妈的鼓励下，他努力成为一名微雕艺术家。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段的“He felt like them, small and insignificant.(他觉得自己和它们一样，渺小而微不足道。)”可知，Willard认为自己无足轻重。故选D。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段的“Willard created tiny furniture for the ant houses. His artistic skill increased, and a love for little things began to grow. At age nine, Willard began carving (雕刻) faces on toothpicks.(Willard为蚂蚁屋制作了小家具。他的艺术技巧提高了，对小事物的喜爱也开始增长。9岁时，Willard开始在牙签上雕刻人脸。)”可知，Willard特别擅长创造微小的艺术品。故选C。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段的“Willard works best at night when there are few disturbances. He often works for months to complete a sculpture. Willard’s favorite paintbrush is one hair from the back of a dead fly! To move his sculptures, Willard uses an eyelash. But even that can be tough.(Willard在晚上工作得最好，因为那时干扰很少。他常常要花好几个月才能完成一件雕塑。Willard最喜欢的画笔是死苍蝇背上的一根毛！为了移动他的雕塑，Willard使用睫毛。但即使这样也很困难。)”可知，从第三段我们可以推断出雕刻要花很多时间和精力。故选D。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段的“He felt like them, small and insignificant.(他觉得自己和它们一样，渺小而微不足道。)”，最后一段的“Willard sculpts everything from famous people to fictional characters. Because of their beauty and rarity, his sculptures have made Willard a wealthy man.(Willard雕刻的东西从名人到虚构人物应有尽有。由于它们的美丽和稀有，他的雕塑使Willard成为一个富有的人。)”和“Willard Wigan who felt small as a boy has shown something small can really be big.(Willard Wigan从小就觉得自己渺小，但他证明了小的东西也可以变大。)”可知，本文主要讲的是Willard Wigan自幼患有阅读障碍症，他爱上了创造微小的事物，比如给蚂蚁建一座房子，在妈妈的鼓励下，他努力成为一名微雕艺术家，因此本文最好的题目是A选项“The Big Little Artwork(大而小的艺术品)”，故选A。 C An experiment involving hundreds of office workers has found that artificial intelligence (AI) tools can greatly help but also hurt worker performance. AI tools designed to operate at human levels have greatly expanded in popularity over the past year. Such tools are designed to interact smoothly with humans and perform high-level writing and creative work. This year, researchers at Harvard Business School and other organizations carried out an experiment. It aimed to test how well AI tools could help workers perform their usual duties, or tasks. It involved more than 700 business advisors, called consultants (顾问), from Massachusetts-based Boston Consulting Group. Harvard Business School recently published results from the experiment in a “working paper”. The main findings suggest that AI tools can greatly improve worker performance. For example, researchers found that, on average, workers who used AI tools completed 12 percent more tasks than the users that handled the assigned (分配的) tasks on their own. Tasks carried out with help from the AI technology were completed 25 percent faster. And the team found the quality of work performed by consultants using AI technology increased about 40 percent. However, the paper also noted areas where the performance of consultants using AI technology dipped. Of tasks the AI was good at, the experiment showed it “significantly improved human performance,” the paper said. But for tasks the AI was not right for, “humans relied too much on the AI, and were more likely to make mistakes.” The researchers reported that consultants who used AI for tasks it was not well equipped for “were 19 percent less likely to produce correct solutions compared to those without AI.” The team suggests one of the biggest barriers to companies effectively using AI is not knowing which tasks can be completed best with the technology. Finding this out will require businesses to carry out thoughtful research and training efforts to find the right mix of AI and human work. 8. What is people’s attitude towards AI tools nowadays? A. Curious. B. Anxious. C. Positive. D. Doubtful. 9. What is paragraph 4 mainly about? A. The total results of the experiment. B. AI technology taking the place of humans. C. The speed and quality of the task completion. D. AI tools greatly improving worker performance. 10. What does the underlined word “dipped” in paragraph 5 mean? A. Improved. B. Dropped. C. Changed. D. Disappeared. 11. What does the author want to show in the last paragraph? A. AI and human work can be better combined. B. AI technology will be a barrier to companies. C. Businesses will benefit more from AI tools. D. Humans should develop new versions of AL. 【答案】8. C 9. D 10. B 11. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇新闻报道。文章主要讲述了人工智能工具可以极大地提高工作者的表现，但也可能对工作者的表现产生负面影响，研究团队建议企业需要找到人工智能和人类工作的最佳结合方式。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段的“AI tools designed to operate at human levels have greatly expanded in popularity over the past year. (在过去的一年里，旨在达到人类水平的人工智能工具的受欢迎程度大大提高。)”可知，现在人们对人工智能工具的态度是积极向上的。故选C。 【9题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第四段的“Harvard Business School recently published results from the experiment in a “working paper”. The main findings suggest that AI tools can greatly improve worker performance. For example, researchers found that, on average, workers who used AI tools completed 12 percent more tasks than the users that handled the assigned tasks on their own. Tasks carried out with help from the AI technology were completed 25 percent faster. And the team found the quality of work performed by consultants using AI technology increased about 40 percent. (哈佛商学院最近在一份“工作论文”中公布了这项实验的结果。主要研究结果表明，人工智能工具可以极大地提高员工的表现。例如，研究人员发现，平均而言，使用人工智能工具的员工完成的任务比自己处理分配任务的用户多完成12%。在人工智能技术的帮助下完成的任务要快25%。该团队发现，使用人工智能技术的顾问的工作质量提高了约40%。) ”可知，第四段主要讲的是人工智能工具极大地提高了员工的表现。故选D。 【10题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第五段的“But for tasks the AI was not right for, “humans relied too much on the AI, and were more likely to make mistakes.” The researchers reported that consultants who used AI for tasks it was not well equipped for “were 19 percent less likely to produce correct solutions compared to those without AI.”(但对于人工智能不适合的任务，研究人员报告说，“如果人类过于依赖人工智能，那就更容易犯错误”。与没有使用人工智能的顾问相比，使用人工智能完成任务的顾问找到正确解决方案的可能性要低19%。)”可知，有些领域中在使用人工智能后，却出现了工作质量下降的情况，结合划线词所在句子“However, the paper also noted areas where the performance of consultants using AI technology dipped. ”可知，划线词意为“下降了”，该句子是第五段的主题句，意为“然而，该论文也指出了使用人工智能技术的咨询师表现下降的领域。”与第四段的“And the team found the quality of work performed by consultants using AI technology increased about 40 percent. (该团队发现，使用人工智能技术的顾问的工作质量提高了约40%。)”构成转折关系。故选B。 【11题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段的“The team suggests one of the biggest barriers to companies effectively using AI is not knowing which tasks can be completed best with the technology. Finding this out will require businesses to carry out thoughtful research and training efforts to find the right mix of AI and human work. (该团队表示，企业有效使用人工智能的最大障碍之一是不知道哪些任务可以用这项技术完成得最好。要弄清楚这一点，企业需要进行深思熟虑的研究和培训，以找到人工智能和人类工作的正确结合。)”可知，人工智能和人类工作可以得到更好地结合。故选A。 D Who are your best friends on campus? Are they the ones you encountered most often in class? Are they your fellows in drama club or debate society? Something that has to influence whether people become friends is simple physical proximity. And, in fact, the most lasting friendships are developed between people whose paths cross frequently. A number of studies have demonstrated the effects of proximity on who become friends. One was conducted at MIT in the 1940s. The incoming students were randomly assigned to 17 ten-unit apartment buildings that were isolated from other residential areas, and few of them knew one another beforehand. The investigators asked each resident to name the three people in the student housing project with whom they socialized most often. The effect of proximity was striking: two-thirds of those listed as friends lived in the same building as the respondent, even though those in the same building represented only 5 percent of the target residents. More striking still was the pattern of friendships within each building. Even though the physical distance between apartments was quite small — 19 feet between the doorways of neighboring apartments and 89 feet between those at the ends of each hallway — 41 percent of those living in neighboring apartments listed each other as friends, compared with only 10 percent of those living at opposite ends of the hallway. Proximity leads to friendship because it facilitates chance encounters. If so, then pure physical distance should matter less than functional distance — the influence of an architectural layout to encourage or discourage contact between people. The MIT study shows just how important functional distance is. As the following Figure indicates, the stairs are positioned such that upstairs residents will encounter the occupants of apartments at the turn of the stairs much more often than the occupants of the middle apartments. And in fact, the residents of the two stair-end apartment formed twice as many friendships with their upstairs neighbors as those living in the middle apartments. Figure of the MIT Study Thus, it’s functional distance more than physical distance that is decisive. Proximity promotes friendship because it brings people together. Actually, in later studies involving more diverse populations, the largest effects of proximity on friendship formation have been found between people of different races, ages, or social classes. 12. What can be concluded from the MIT study? A. Friends play an important role in one’s daily life. B. Frequency of encounters decides the living distance. C. People with shared interests are more likely to befriends. D. The more often two people meet, the closer their relationship is. 13. What method did the MIT researchers employ in their study? A. Case study. B. Recording analysis. C. In-lab observation. D. Online questionnaire. 14. Which apartment’s residents in the Figure above may make most friends in the building? A. Apartment 1. B. Apartment 2. C. Apartment 6. D. Apartment 7. 15. Why did researchers carry out later studies? A. Previous study results are contradictory. B. Previous study methods lack scientific support. C. The sample in the previous study is not representative. D. The data in the previous study are not up-to-date enough. 【答案】12. D 13. A 14. A 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是说明文。文章详细介绍了麻省理工学院在1940年代进行的一项关于物理距离如何影响人际关系形成的研究，特别是对友谊发展的影响。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。由文章第一段中“Something that has to influence whether people become friends is simple physical proximity. And, in fact, the most lasting friendships are developed between people whose paths cross frequently. (影响人们是否成为朋友的因素很简单，那就是身体距离。事实上，最持久的友谊是在道路经常交叉的人们之间建立起来的。)”可知，两个人见面的次数越多，他们的关系就越亲密。故选D。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。由文章第二段中“One was conducted at MIT in the 1940s. The incoming students were randomly assigned to 17 ten-unit apartment buildings that were isolated from other residential areas, and few of them knew one another beforehand. (其中一项是20世纪40年代在麻省理工学院进行的。新入学的学生被随机分配到17栋10单元的公寓楼里，这些公寓楼与其他居民区隔离开来，他们中很少有人事先认识彼此。)”和第三段中“The effect of proximity was striking: two-thirds of those listed as friends lived in the same building as the respondent, even though those in the same building represented only 5 percent of the target residents. More striking still was the pattern of friendships within each building. Even though the physical distance between apartments was quite small —19 feet between the doorways of neighboring apartments and 89 feet between those at the ends of each hallway — 41 percent of those living in neighboring apartments listed each other as friends, compared with only 10 percent of those living at opposite ends of the hallway. (距离的影响是惊人的：被列为朋友的人中有三分之二与被调查者住在同一栋楼里，尽管住在同一栋楼里的人只占目标居民的5%。更引人注目的是每栋楼里的友谊模式。尽管公寓之间的物理距离很小——相邻公寓的门道之间只有19英尺，走廊两端的门道之间只有89英尺——但住在相邻公寓的人中有41%的人把彼此列为朋友，而住在走廊两端的人中只有10%的人这样做。)”可知，麻省理工学院的研究人员通过对这些学生的案例研究进行的。故选A。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。由文章第四段中“As the following Figure indicates, the stairs are positioned such that upstairs residents will encounter the occupants of apartments at the turn of the stairs much more often than the occupants of the middle apartments. And in fact, the residents of the two stair-end apartment formed twice as many friendships with their upstairs neighbors as those living in the middle apartments. (如下图所示，楼梯的位置使得楼上的住户在楼梯拐弯处遇到公寓住户的次数要比中间公寓的住户多得多。事实上，住在两层楼上公寓的人与楼上邻居的友谊是住在中间公寓的人的两倍。)”可以推断出，住在1号公寓的居民可能在公寓里交到最多的朋友，因为他们在楼梯转弯处更容易遇到其他公寓的居民。故选A。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。由文章最后一段中“Actually, in later studies involving more diverse populations, the largest effects of proximity on friendship formation have been found between people of different races, ages, or social classes. (事实上，在后来涉及更多不同人群的研究中，发现距离对友谊形成的最大影响发生在不同种族、年龄或社会阶层的人之间。)”可知，之前的研究样本可能不具有代表性，因此需要进行更深入的研究。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能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 As a baby, Jack’s remarkable swimming journey began. At ten months, he already practised with swim aids. At six, he won his first swimming competition in a group for kids ten-and-under. At seven, he stayed at the pool from nine in the morning till eight hours later. His mother, recognizing his gift, took it as her duty to guide him. _____16_____ By a young age, Jack had been ranked the number one swimmer of the country, a title he held for a record-breaking duration. _____17_____He played skiing, tennis, soccer, and many more. Sam was a kid who loved to play, and his parents had no particular athletic ambitions for him. It was nearing his teens that he began to focus more on basketball. _____18_____In his mid-thirties, an age by which many professional basketball players are typically retired, Sam was still in the national basketball team. Top athletes like Jack at the peak of their abilities do spend more time on focused, deliberate practice than their peers (同龄人). But scientists also find that potential champions typically devote less time to deliberate practice in childhood, but more to “sampling” various activities. _____19_____ In a world that demands people to specialize early, we face a challenge to keep the benefits of diverse experiences and delayed concentration. There’s a need for those with Jack’s early focus. _____20_____— People who start with many different things and accept various experiences. People with range. A. There was no time to waste. B. And it was all going according to plan. C. The growing complexity of the world also calls for more Sams. D. But it didn’t seem to hold back his development in the long run. E. In reality, the Sam’s path to success is far more common, yet less told. F. In contrast to Jack, Sam didn’t show significant sporting talent until later. G. Unlike the swimming talent, Sam’s early years were filled with a variety of sports. 【答案】16. B 17. G 18. D 19. E 20. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇议论文。文章通过杰克和山姆不同的运动成长经历，探讨了早期专注专项训练与多样活动体验对成为冠军的不同影响，进而思考当下社会所需人才类型。 【16题详解】 根据上文“His mother, recognizing his gift, took it as her duty to guide him. (他的母亲认出了他的天赋，把引导他当作自己的责任。)”和下文“By a young age, Jack had been ranked the number one swimmer of the country, a title he held for a record-breaking duration. (在很小的时候，杰克就被列为全国第一游泳运动员，他保持了破纪录的冠军头衔。)”可知，本空要表达母亲认识到杰克的天赋后，如何指导他，以及杰克如何取得全国排名第一的游泳运动员称号。根据后文杰克取得的成绩，可以看出母亲的指导非常有效，一切都在按照计划进行。选项B“一切都按计划进行”符合语境。故选B。 【17题详解】 根据下文“He played skiing, tennis, soccer, and many more. (他滑雪、网球、足球等等。)”可知，此处在描述山姆小时候参与了多种体育活动，这与杰克专注于游泳形成了对比。选项G“与游泳天赋不同，山姆的早年充满了各种运动。”符合语境。故选G。 【18题详解】 根据上文“It was nearing his teens that he began to focus more on basketball. (在他十几岁的时候，他开始更加专注于篮球。)”和下文“In his mid-thirties, an age by which many professional basketball players are typically retired, Sam was still in the national basketball team. (在他三十多岁的时候，许多职业篮球运动员通常都会退役，山姆仍然在国家篮球队。)”可知，此处描述山姆在篮球方面的成就，尽管他少年时没有专注，临近青少年才专注篮球，但这并未阻碍他的长远发展。选项D“但从长远来看，这似乎并没有阻碍他的发展。”恰好说明这个转折和强调。故选D。 【19题详解】 根据上文“Top athletes like Jack at the peak of their abilities do spend more time on focused, deliberate practice than their peers (同龄人). But scientists also find that potential champions typically devote less time to deliberate practice in childhood, but more to “sampling” various activities. (像杰克这样处于巅峰状态的顶尖运动员确实比同龄人花更多的时间进行专注、深思熟虑的练习。但科学家们也发现，潜在的冠军通常在童年时期花更少的时间进行刻意练习，而是更多地“抽样”各种活动。)”可知，科学家发现潜在的冠军通常在童年时花较少时间于刻意练习，而是更多地尝试各种活动。选项E“事实上，山姆的成功之路要普遍得多，但却鲜为人知。”符合语境， 指出实际上像山姆这样的成功之路更为普遍，但却较少被提及。故选E。 【20题详解】 根据上文“In a world that demands people to specialize early, we face a challenge to keep the benefits of diverse experiences and delayed concentration. There’s a need for those with Jack’s early focus. (在一个要求人们尽早专注的世界里，我们面临着一个挑战，即保持多样化体验和延迟专注的好处。需要像杰克那样早期关注的人。)” 可知，这里已经提到了对于早期专注的需求，那么接下来应该会讲到世界对多样性和延迟专注的需求。选项C“世界日益复杂，也需要更多像山姆这样的人”符合语境，衔接下文恰当。故选C。 第二部分 语言运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节(共15小题;每小题1分，满分15分) People with autism (自闭症) generally see the world through a lens different from the rest of the world.

Usually, his mind drifted — to playing outside, to his dog, or to the ants. Willard was especially curious about those ants. He felt like them, small and insignificant. He noticed the ants were coming and going from a hole in the dirt. Gathering pieces of wood, Willard constructed a little building for ants. At school, Willard still had problems, but he knew he could do something special. Willard created tiny furniture for the ant houses. His artistic skill increased, and a love for little things began to grow. At age nine, Willard began carving (雕刻) faces on toothpicks. When he showed his mother the carved faces, she said, “This is what you do well. You must work hard to be the best.” Years later, Willard carves the tiniest artwork in the world! His sculptures are so small that several can fit on a full stop at the end of a sentence. Willard works best at night when there are few disturbances. He often works for months to complete a sculpture. Willard’s favorite paintbrush is one hair from the back of a dead fly! To move his sculptures, Willard uses an eyelash. But even that can be tough. Once, while moving a microscopic Alice in Wonderland, his cell phone rang. Terrified, Willard took in a quick breath. When he looked back, Alice was gone. After working for weeks to carve her, he’d accidentally breathed her in! Willard sculpts everything from famous people to fictional characters. Because of their beauty and rarity, his sculptures have made Willard a wealthy man. But he says, “Success isn’t about material things like an expensive watch or a costly ring; it’s about persevering and achieving your dreams.” Willard Wigan who felt small as a boy has shown something small can really be big. 4. What can we know about Willard from paragraph 1? A. He was interested in math. B. He had a physical problem. C. He was crazy about building. D. He thought himself unimportant. 5.

Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. The Big Little Artwork. B. House Building for Ants. C. The True Meaning of Success. D. A Boy with a Disability. C An experiment involving hundreds of office workers has found that artificial intelligence (AI) tools can greatly help but also hurt worker performance. AI tools designed to operate at human levels have greatly expanded in popularity over the past year. Such tools are designed to interact smoothly with humans and perform high-level writing and creative work. This year, researchers at Harvard Business School and other organizations carried out an experiment. It aimed to test how well AI tools could help workers perform their usual duties, or tasks. It involved more than 700 business advisors, called consultants (顾问), from Massachusetts-based Boston Consulting Group. Harvard Business School recently published results from the experiment in a “working paper”. The main findings suggest that AI tools can greatly improve worker performance. For example, researchers found that, on average, workers who used AI tools completed 12 percent more tasks than the users that handled the assigned (分配的) tasks on their own. Tasks carried out with help from the AI technology were completed 25 percent faster. And the team found the quality of work performed by consultants using AI technology increased about 40 percent. However, the paper also noted areas where the performance of consultants using AI technology dipped. Of tasks the AI was good at, the experiment showed it “significantly improved human performance,” the paper said. But for tasks the AI was not right for, “humans relied too much on the AI, and were more likely to make mistakes.” The researchers reported that consultants who used AI for tasks it was not well equipped for “were 19 percent less likely to produce correct solutions compared to those without AI.” The team suggests one of the biggest barriers to companies effectively using AI is not knowing which tasks can be completed best with the technology. Finding this out will require businesses to carry out thoughtful research and training efforts to find the right mix of AI and human work. 8. What is people’s attitude towards AI tools nowadays? A. Curious. B. Anxious. C. Positive. D. Doubtful. 9. What is paragraph 4 mainly about? A. The total results of the experiment. B. AI technology taking the place of humans. C. The speed and quality of the task completion. D. AI tools greatly improving worker performance. 10. What does the underlined word “dipped” in paragraph 5 mean? A. Improved. B. Dropped. C. Changed. D. Disappeared. 11. What does the author want to show in the last paragraph? A. AI and human work can be better combined. B. AI technology will be a barrier to companies. C. Businesses will benefit more from AI tools. D. Humans should develop new versions of AL. D Who are your best friends on campus? Are they the ones you encountered most often in class? Are they your fellows in drama club or debate society? Something that has to influence whether people become friends is simple physical proximity. And, in fact, the most lasting friendships are developed between people whose paths cross frequently. A number of studies have demonstrated the effects of proximity on who become friends. One was conducted at MIT in the 1940s. The incoming students were randomly assigned to 17 ten-unit apartment buildings that were isolated from other residential areas, and few of them knew one another beforehand. The investigators asked each resident to name the three people in the student housing project with whom they socialized most often. The effect of proximity was striking: two-thirds of those listed as friends lived in the same building as the respondent, even though those in the same building represented only 5 percent of the target residents. More striking still was the pattern of friendships within each building. Even though the physical distance between apartments was quite small — 19 feet between the doorways of neighboring apartments and 89 feet between those at the ends of each hallway — 41 percent of those living in neighboring apartments listed each other as friends, compared with only 10 percent of those living at opposite ends of the hallway. Proximity leads to friendship because it facilitates chance encounters. If so, then pure physical distance should matter less than functional distance — the influence of an architectural layout to encourage or discourage contact between people. The MIT study shows just how important functional distance is. As the following Figure indicates, the stairs are positioned such that upstairs residents will encounter the occupants of apartments at the turn of the stairs much more often than the occupants of the middle apartments. And in fact, the residents of the two stair-end apartment formed twice as many friendships with their upstairs neighbors as those living in the middle apartments. Figure of the MIT Study Thus, it’s functional distance more than physical distance that is decisive. Proximity promotes friendship because it brings people together. Actually, in later studies involving more diverse populations, the largest effects of proximity on friendship formation have been found between people of different races, ages, or social classes. 12. What can be concluded from the MIT study? A. Friends play an important role in one’s daily life. B. Frequency of encounters decides the living distance. C. People with shared interests are more likely to befriends. D. The more often two people meet, the closer their relationship is. 13. What method did the MIT researchers employ in their study? A. Case study. B. Recording analysis. C. In-lab observation. D. Online questionnaire. 14. Which apartment’s residents in the Figure above may make most friends in the building? A. Apartment 1. B. Apartment 2. C. Apartment 6. D. Apartment 7. 15. Why did researchers carry out later studies? A. Previous study results are contradictory. B. Previous study methods lack scientific support. C. The sample in the previous study is not representative. D. The data in the previous study are not up-to-date enough. 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能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 As a baby, Jack’s remarkable swimming journey began.
