Ⅰ.阅读理解
Charles Darwin lived an unusually quiet life. In 1842, Darwin and his wife Emma moved from London to Kent in southeastern England to have as little disturbance as possible. They already had two children then, and went on to have eight more in the country.
Darwin had very regular habits. He rose early and went for a walk. After breakfast he worked in his study until 9:30 a.m, his most productive time of the day, and then read his letters lying on the sofa before returning to work.
At midday he would go for another walk with his dog, stopping at his greenhouse to check his experiments. Then he would go for another walk around an area of woodland. While walking on his“thinking path”, Darwin would consider his unsolved scientific problems.
After lunch he read the newspaper and wrote letters. His network of friends provided information from all corners of the world.
The Darwins were not very strict parents and the children were always seen running wildly. Their father worked patiently with a background of happy shouts and light footsteps outside his study door.
After dinner Darwin played backgammon (a game for two people to play) with his wife. He once wrote, “Now the result with my wife in backgammon stands like this: she...has won only 2,490 games, while I have won, hurrah (a cheer of joy or victory), hurrah, 2,795 games!”
Although he had poor health, Darwin continued to publish a lot of creative works until his final book in 1881. He died the following year, aged 73.
Rather than being buried in a quiet space in the local graveyard, Darwin was given a state funeral (国葬)in London's Westminster Abbey.

Ⅱ.阅读填句
There're two keys to being a better speaker. One is to concentrate more on the person you're speaking to. The other is to focus on meeting their needs instead of your own. __1__
Use people's names more.
Our names are “the sweetest and most important sound” to us. __2__ In conversation, you can use this to your advantage by asking for their names, and then dropping their names occasionally throughout the conversation later on.
3__
Talking about ourselves results in the same feeling of pleasure in the brain as food or money. Individuals place high subjective value on opportunities to express their thoughts and feelings. An attentiongiver will give his attention to the individuals, and allow them to feel important.
Repeat the last three words.
4__ Simply repeat the last two or three words an individual said in a sympathetic, questioning tone. This is known as “The Echo (回声) Effect”, which will allow the conversation to go back to the person, and make him feel more important.
Stress similarities.
Naturally, we tend to bond with people who are like us. __5__ When individuals were asked what they wanted in a partner, the majority said they would prefer a complementary (互补的) partner rather than a similar one. But the individuals were more likely to choose a partner who they thought was very similar to them.
A.Talk more about ourselves.
B.Repeating makes your partner important.
C.Encourage people to talk about themselves.
D.However, we seem to be unaware of this fact.
E.In brief, be an attentiongiver rather than an attentiongetter.
F.Repetition is the most suitable in terms of good communication skills.
G.We are more likely to be in tune with others when they say our names.
[语篇解读] 这是一篇说明文,主要介绍了几种聊天的技巧。
1.解析:E [本空总结上文,引出下文,故E项“总之,做一个注意力给予者而不是注意力获得者”符合语境。]
2.解析:G [根据该段小标题 Use people's names more. 和选项G中的“when they say our names” 可知答案。]
3.解析:C [由下文中“Talking about ourselves results in the same feeling of pleasure in the brain as food or money.” 一句可知,谈论我们自己能像谈论食物和金钱一样让我们的大脑产生一种愉悦感,再结合短文开头提到的成为一个健谈的人的两个关键点(更多地关注与你交谈的人、注意满足他们的需求)可知,本段小标题应该是“鼓励人们谈论他们自己”,故答案为C。]
4.解析:F [根据该段小标题 Repeat the last three words. 及选项F中的“Repetition”一词可知答案。]
5.解析:D [空前提到“Naturally, we tend to bond with people who are like us.”(自然地,我们倾向于和像我们的人建立联系),下文却说“...they would prefer a complementary partner rather than a similar one.”(他们更喜欢与自己互补的同伴,而不是和自己类似的)。故D项“然而,我们似乎不知道这一事实”符合语境。]
Ⅲ.完形填空
Even when I sit here and write this story, I am still smiling. The past few weeks have been rather __1__ , but when a huge set of smile cards arrived in my mailbox the other day, having __2__ all the way from the United States to my home in the Netherlands, I knew things were about to __3__ .
I found myself thinking about where to __4__ the cards as I went to bed that night-the train, benches at the station, libraries, mailboxes, or the gym. I almost thought about any __5__ of putting them.
I got up and __6__ I went straight to the shop to buy some candy, __7__ to leave them as anonymous (匿名的) gifts for people on the early morning train. There were usually few people on the train. However, __8__ usual early morning travels, my train today was extremely crowded. An elderly man must have seen me searching for a place to leave a smile card, because he asked me if I was looking for something.
Right then and there I decided that my first smile card would not be anonymous. With a smile and red cheeks with __9__ , I told him that I had found what I was looking for, __10__ him the candy and smile card I had in my hands. He had only just finished reading the card as I arrived at my __11__ . He was still smiling and enjoying his candy when I waved at him on the platform.
Despite having worked a full day, I was feeling joyful. Before I entered my __12__ , I delivered a few more smile cards and candy to neighbors' mailboxes. I added an extra candy bar for one neighbor who was in a __13__ financial situation, but he was working hard to get the best for his young son. I figured they both __14__ a tasty little treat.
I am __15__ from my smile card adventure, and am even happier to have smile cards left and quite a few ideas as to where to drop them. I believe giving smile cards to each other will bring all of us great joy.
