While extroverts have long been celebrated for their social butterfly abilities, it turns out that the introvert’s natural inclinations (倾向) may serve as a built-in buffer against some of aging’s most common challenges. The very qualities of introverts—preference for quieter environments, comfort with being alone, and deeper but fewer social connections—appear to match well with the natural development of the social world as they grow older. The key lies in what is known as “positive disengagement”. Laura Carstensen. the founding director of Stanford’s Center of Longevity, suggests that as people grow older, they naturally become more selective (有选择的) about their social interactions. preferring quality over quantity (数量). The change that extroverts may feel uncomfortable with often comes more naturally to introverts. Another interesting work by Helene Fung at the Chinese University of Hong Kong found that introverts experience less worry about the social changes accompanying aging. While extroverts may have trouble with the decreased energy for socializing. introverts often find that such changes match with pre-existing (已存在的) preferences. Robert McCrae’s research at the National Institute on Aging supports this “introvert advantage”. His team’s findings show that introverts may deal with the big questions of aging better because they naturally think deeply about life. While extroverts might look for outside activities that can pull their attention away from aging-related worries, introverts’ natural inclinations to turn inward often result in better adjustment (调整) and acceptance of life’s changes. The most convincing research comes from Klaus Rothermund, who studies how people manage emotions as they age. His work shows that introverts often develop better coping skills earlier in life. Such skills as the ability to think deeply about themselves and the ability to form one-on-one connections become increasingly valuable as they grow older. It’s as if introverts have been unknowingly practicing for their elder years all along. The meanings of the findings go beyond just research interest. Understanding how different personality types deal with change becomes increasingly important as people age. For extroverts reading this, don’t feel disappointed—awareness is half the job done, and many coping skills that come naturally to introverts can be learned and trained. And for introverts? You might want to add this to your list of quiet victories. Your personality may have prepared you for a more beautiful journey into your later years. Sometimes, it seems that the tortoise doesn’t just win the race. It may also enjoy the journey more. 1．What does the word “buffer” in Paragraph 1 most probably mean? A．Weakness. B．Warning. C．Monitor.

A．Introverts need to find ways to stop worrying about their age. B．Extroverts can learn from introverts about ways to slow aging down. C．Extroverts have the ability to deal with personal problems earlier in life. D．Introverts’ qualities better suit the natural changes of the social world. 4．Which of the following would be the best title for the passage? A．Introverts: A More Popular Personality B．Introverts: Practice to Fight Against Aging C．Introverts: Feel Better When Getting Older D．Introverts: Social Advantages Over Extroverts 3 Some research results have shown that health is connected to personality (性格). But until now, this relationship hasn’t changed how health care is given. Some health workers aren’t sure if there is a direct connection between them. Some think it’s their duty to treat all patients in the same way. Others believe that giving health care according to patients’ personalities doesn’t make a big difference to the patients, so it’s not worth trying. However, some researchers think that treating patients differently can have a good effect on their health. Recently, research on personality has mainly focused on five types of personalities: being outgoing, being kind, being open-minded, being responsible and being easily nervous. They have already got some findings. For example, responsible people are less likely to smoke or drink a lot. So, if health workers offer service according to patients’ personalities, it could be easier for patients to follow the advice or accept treatment. Let’s take people who like looking for excitement as an example. They are the out-going one in the five types and like to take part in risky activities and get energy in social situations. So, to encourage these people to follow health advice, we should design such activities to improve their health. When health workers send information to some patients, they should also think about the patients’ personalities. And then the patients will be more willing to accept their advice or treatment. For example, if less responsible people need to see a doctor, making a call to remind them is more suitable. So far, there has been very little research in this area, but it’s worth further study. Until now, the research on personality and health has had little practical (实际的) use. By exploring their connection further, the relationship between researchers and health workers could be improved. 1．What do some health workers think of giving health care according to patients" personalities? A．It’s very important and they must do it. B．It makes a big difference to all patients. C．They think that it is not worth doing. D．It has had a lot of practical use now. 2．________ people are less likely to smoke or drink a lot. A．Kind B．Outgoing C．Nervous D．Responsible 3．In this passage, the writer support the influence of personality on health by ________. A．asking for advice B．doing more experiments C．giving examples D．using facts and numbers 4．According to the passage, which of the following is more helpful for an out-going patient? A． B． C． D． 4 I’m Patrick Williams, from Suzhou Student Post. This is the column (栏目) where you can tell me what you would like to change about yourself. Welcome to leave your messages. Zhang Yao What I want to change about myself most is my attitude (态度) toward life. Sometimes, I take things too seriously. Once, I thought I did badly in an exam. I became very sad and lost confidence in any other exam. It turned out it was not as bad as I thought. I wish I could be happier about everything! 18    2 Li Jing I want to change my bad temper (脾气) most. I get angry too easily, and hurt the people I love. For example, when my mom cares about me, I often complain she talks too much. Sometimes, I even fight with her. But deep down, I know she loves me a lot. I shouldn’t behave like that. I really want to work on my temper and be kinder to the people I love. 15    5 Wang Di The only thing I am not pleased with about myself is my teeth. My front teeth are so big that they almost look like buckteeth (龅牙). When I take photos, I avoid giving big smiles. I am also afraid that my classmates will laugh at me.

You are a person who feels a lot and gets influenced by others. You never show your weak side. When something upsets you, you can talk about it with your fiends so that you don’t get nervous. You are a person who is full of energy and can find joy in everything you do. You dream of living a life to the fullest. One of your greatest fears is being bored. You need to take a careful look at life and start making better choices. You are a person who is ambitious (有雄心的) and organized. You work very hard. But sometimes you may become self-centered. Whenever a friend tries to share a story with you, you bring the focus to yourself, talking about your own life. You should try to be a better listener. You are a person who is smart and has strong self-control. You follow your dreams, never comparing yourself with others. Sometimes you should come out of your comfort zone (舒适区) and try new things. 1．Picture l tells something about a person ________.

I was walking down the street in Beijing the other day and passed a couple sitting on a bench. “She must be 180 centimeters tall,” I heard the woman say to the man. I turned to look at them straight in the eye at once. I felt angry and awkward (尴尬的) that they were talking about me. The woman suddenly said, “Oh, she must understand Chinese.” “Yes, I do,” I replied. Then, they both smiled and laughed, and so did I. This was yet another time in China when strangers stared or talked about my appearance (外表). It’s either because of my unusually tall height as a woman or because I am a foreigner. As a shy person, this makes me feel quite uncomfortable. I just want to fit in! I usually just try to ignore (忽视) such people, but this time, as soon as I talked to the couple, they changed from strangers to people I just shared a warm and funny moment with. It reminded me how important it is to have the right attitude (态度) and to be understanding. There aren’t that many foreigners in China, so it’s only natural that Chinese people will feel curious about foreigners and how they look different. Although, when people stare at you it feels a bit hostile (充满敌意的), most people are simply curious and may even want to chat with you. In short, I can’t change this situation. The only thing I can change is my attitude toward it. Life is too short to be influenced by the little things. We need to enjoy each moment with a positive (积极的) and open attitude! 1．The writer heard the woman talking about her appearance because ________. A．she understood Chinese B．the woman spoke loudly to her C．they knew well each other D．she was proud of her appearance 2．What’s the correct order of the following events? ① The writer’s attitude to strangers’ staring and talking began to change. ② The writer felt angry and awkward. ③ The woman’s word about the writer’s height was heard by the writer. ④ The writer replied to the woman and shared a smile with them. A．①④③② B．③①②④ C．③②④① D．①③④② 3．In Paragraph 4, we can know the writer ________. A．was still angry with strangers’ staring and talking B．couldn’t understand why people were curious about her C．was interested in telling her life in a foreign country D．tried to put herself in other people’s shoes 4．What has the writer learned from her experience? A．It’s hard for a foreigner to live abroad. B．It’s impolite to judge people by their looks. C．We should have a positive and open attitude. D．You will never fit in with the people in foreign countries. 7 We can see circles, squares and triangles everywhere in our daily life. Have you thought  about their meanings in films? Much like colors, different shapes can show different features (特点) of characters in the scenes. Circles represent (代表) things that are soft and natural. The round shape reminds us of things that appear in nature, like the sun, raindrops and so on. We can also connect circles with beautiful eyes, babies’ round faces. All these things make us feel happy and warm. This is why so many cartoon characters bodies-heroes, good people are round in shape, because circles represent goodness. Squares show things that are unnatural or man-made, or things that are boring or old-fashioned. In Up, Carl, has a square face and wears square glasses, while Russell, always wears round medals. These shapes show the characters’ personalities. Carl is stubborn (执拗的) and lonely. The angriest shape is the triangle. Every kid who draws a monster with sharp teeth draws a row of triangles, don’t they? That’s because the shape represents fear, distrust and doubt in some way. Look at the bad guys in cartoons—they are all drawn with plenty of points and triangles, like Shengongbao in Ne Zha. And triangles are stable (稳固的) and don’t easily fall down. In films, this feature makes bad people difficult to deal with. Not only in cartoons, but also in other kinds of films, different shapes are used for the same purpose. So, try to find the hidden shapes and you will know what the characters are like. 1．The writer explains the relationship between squares and personalities of cartoon characters by ________. A．telling a story B．giving an example C．raising a question D．showing the results of a study 2．Why is Shengongbao mentioned in Paragraph 4? A．Because kids think he is a monster. B．Because he has a row of sharp teeth. C．Because he is a bad guy in the film. D．Because he is not easy to deal with. 3．What does the underlined word “triangle” refer to? A． B． C． D． 4．Which of the following is the structure of the passage? A． B． C． D． 5．What does the passage mainly talk about? A．Why different shapes represent different things. B．What makes heroes in films have great charm: C．What different shapes represent in films. D．How to make cartoons with different colors and shapes. 8 Are you an “E person” or an “I person”? These two personality labels (个性标签) are widely discussed online. They are part of a popular personality test called the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator, or MBTI. There are 16 results in total of the test. Usually, an “I person” is quiet, while an “E person” is outgoing. But an “I person” can still act outgoing sometimes. For example, when an “I person” is with a group of “I” friends, they might want to change and become more social like an “E person”. According to psychologists (心理家), this idea of personality changing is called “masking” (伪装). That is hiding your true personality in certain situations. “Humans want to be welcomed, and they might change their personalities within a short time,” wrote the Master Class website. Using the MBTI result to describe someone’s personality seems fun. However, I realized I was deeply influenced by the result once. My sister was excitedly making a travel plan. But I remembered from an article that a “P person” doesn’t like to make or follow plans. So I said to her, “You don’t seem like a ‘P person’.” “Why?” She asked back. “Because the personality test tells a ‘P person’ doesn’t like to make plans!” At that moment, I realized I’d taken the result too seriously. The MBTI personality test may show something you don’t know about yourself. And it can even be a fun way to start a conversation when meeting new friends. And that’s all for fun. Knowing someone’s MBTI result doesn’t mean you really know this person. And those results of yours don’t define (定义) who you are. 1．An “I person” is usually _______ than an “E person”. A．quieter B．more popular C．more outgoing D．more typical 2．Humans change their personalities within a short time to _______. A．be welcomed B．make new friends C．be a psychologist D．laugh at others 3．What can we infer (推断) from Paragraph 4? A．A “P person” doesn’t like to make plans. B．The writer’s sister may take a trip soon. C．The writer’s sister was influenced by the test result. D．It’s not fun to use the MBTI result to describe someone. 4．If you know a person’s MBTI personality test result, you _______. A．can’t see it as a fun game B．may still not know this person well C．can’t find an interesting way to communicate D．won’t feel happy to stay with this person 5．Where can we read this passage? A．In a diary. B．In a novel. C．In a magazine. D．In a dictionary. 9 Are you afraid to speak in public? Are you a shy person? If you think you are too shy and want to be a little bit braver, try the following. You can make it. ★Tell people you’re shy. There’s no need to hide it. When they get to know you are a shy kid, they’ll understand you better. This also helps you feel at ease in talks. ★Smile to everyone. When you smile, people think you are friendly and easy to talk to. Remember that other people also have such feelings and most people will stay away from an angry-looking face. ★Say something nice about the people around you. If you find it hard to start talks, say something nice about the people around you. Think about how great you feel when someone says something nice to you. Doesn’t it make you want to keep talking to that person? ★Get your attention elsewhere. Enjoy the party or the game. Don’t waste time worrying about your looks or whether people like you or not. Take one small step at a time. Each time after you say “Hi” or smile at someone for the first time, say to yourself “I did it”! Or it could be something bigger, like buying yourself an ice-cream. Keep trying and you’ll never be shy when you talk to others one day. 1．If you want to be a little bit braver, the first thing you should do is ________.

Nowadays, it is an accepted fact that our positions in the family possibly have the strongest influence on our characters. Firstborn children often have to look after their younger brothers and sisters, so they’re usually responsible as adults. They also may be ambitious (有雄心的) and they make good leaders. On the negative side, the oldest children can be insecure. This is because when the second child is born, they lose some of their parents’ attention. Middle children are more relaxed than the oldest children, probably because their parents will be more relaxed themselves when the second child arrives. They’re usually very sociable—the kind of people who get on with everybody. They are also more aware of what other people need, because they grow up between older and younger brothers and sisters. For the same reason, they’re often quite good at solving arguments. On the other hand, middle children sometimes are not ambitious and don’t have directions in life. The youngest children are often very outgoing. This is the way they try to get the attention of both their parents and their older brothers and sisters. But they might depend too much on other people, because they have always been the baby of the family. Only children usually do very well at school, because they have a lot of contact (联系) with adults. They get a lot of love and attention from their parents, so they’re often very self-confident. They’re also independent, as they spend much time by themselves. But they might get quite selfish and impatient. 1．Which is closest in meaning to the underlined word “insecure” in Paragraph 2? A．Worried. B．Honest. C．Powerful. D．Tired. 2．Who can be more caring friends? A．The oldest children. B．Middle children. C．The youngest children. D．Only children. 3．Where does only children get their confidence? A．From their schoolwork. B．From solving arguments. C．From their parents’ love. D．From spending time alone. 4．Which shows the structure of this passage? A． B． C． D． 5．What is mainly discussed in the passage? A．How birth order influences one’s character. B．What connects brothers and sisters in a family. C．Why a family should have more than one child. D．Which child gets the most attention from parents. 11 Daisy likes reading Modern Girl magazine because it often has some tests about personal preferences (喜好).

However, men settle (固定) on their favorite hairstyle after trying only 5 different cuts. ②The study of 2,000 women has found that women visit the hairdresser five times a year on average, and about 100 like to try something different with each trip to the hairdresser. Almost half are willing to change their hairstyle. ③Women are likely to go for two new styles and at least one color change every year between the ages of 15 and 65. The study found that 64 percent of women will change their hair simply because they are bored with their current (目前的) style.

Other reasons for trying a new hairstyle were birthdays. ④However, men are not as troublesome as women. They only try five different hairstyles and then stick to their favorite one in their lifetime.

While extroverts have long been celebrated for their social butterfly abilities, it turns out that the introvert’s natural inclinations (倾向) may serve as a built-in buffer against some of aging’s most common challenges. The very qualities of introverts—preference for quieter environments, comfort with being alone, and deeper but fewer social connections—appear to match well with the natural development of the social world as they grow older. The key lies in what is known as “positive disengagement”. Laura Carstensen. the founding director of Stanford’s Center of Longevity, suggests that as people grow older, they naturally become more selective (有选择的) about their social interactions. preferring quality over quantity (数量). The change that extroverts may feel uncomfortable with often comes more naturally to introverts. Another interesting work by Helene Fung at the Chinese University of Hong Kong found that introverts experience less worry about the social changes accompanying aging. While extroverts may have trouble with the decreased energy for socializing. introverts often find that such changes match with pre-existing (已存在的) preferences. Robert McCrae’s research at the National Institute on Aging supports this “introvert advantage”. His team’s findings show that introverts may deal with the big questions of aging better because they naturally think deeply about life. While extroverts might look for outside activities that can pull their attention away from aging-related worries, introverts’ natural inclinations to turn inward often result in better adjustment (调整) and acceptance of life’s changes. The most convincing research comes from Klaus Rothermund, who studies how people manage emotions as they age. His work shows that introverts often develop better coping skills earlier in life. Such skills as the ability to think deeply about themselves and the ability to form one-on-one connections become increasingly valuable as they grow older. It’s as if introverts have been unknowingly practicing for their elder years all along. The meanings of the findings go beyond just research interest. Understanding how different personality types deal with change becomes increasingly important as people age. For extroverts reading this, don’t feel disappointed—awareness is half the job done, and many coping skills that come naturally to introverts can be learned and trained. And for introverts? You might want to add this to your list of quiet victories. Your personality may have prepared you for a more beautiful journey into your later years. Sometimes, it seems that the tortoise doesn’t just win the race. It may also enjoy the journey more. 1．What does the word “buffer” in Paragraph 1 most probably mean? A．Weakness. B．Warning. C．Monitor. D．Protector. 2．Which behavior probably matches Carstensen’s findings? A．Refusing to choose friends according to personality. B．Spending less time alone to make time for social activities. C．Staying away from relationships that are not worthwhile. D．Joining in group discussions instead of thinking independently. 3．What can we learn about introverts and extroverts as they age? A．Introverts need to find ways to stop worrying about their age. B．Extroverts can learn from introverts about ways to slow aging down. C．Extroverts have the ability to deal with personal problems earlier in life. D．Introverts’ qualities better suit the natural changes of the social world. 4．Which of the following would be the best title for the passage? A．Introverts: A More Popular Personality B．Introverts: Practice to Fight Against Aging C．Introverts: Feel Better When Getting Older D．Introverts: Social Advantages Over Extroverts 【答案】1．D 2．C 3．D 4．C 【解析】本文介绍了一项心理学研究发现：内向者可能比外向者更能从容应对老龄化的挑战，因为他们的性格特质（如偏好安静环境、享受独处、建立深度社交关系等）更契合伴随年龄增长的自然社会变化，这种“内向者优势”体现在情绪调节、社交选择和生活适应等方面。 1．词句猜测题。根据“Introverts may manage the challenges of aging better... the introvert’s natural inclinations may serve as a built-in buffer against some of aging’s most common challenges”可知，内向者的天性能够帮助他们应对衰老带来的挑战，“buffer”在此处表示对挑战的“缓冲”或“保护”作用，与“Protector（保护者）”含义最接近。故选D。 2．细节理解题。根据“Laura Carstensen... suggests that as people grow older, they naturally become more selective about their social interactions, preferring quality over quantity”可知，Carstensen认为老年人会更倾向于选择高质量的社交关系，而非数量。“远离无价值的人际关系”体现了 “重质量、轻数量”的选择性社交，符合其研究结论。故选C。 3．细节理解题。根据“The very qualities of introverts—preference for quieter environments, comfort with being alone, and deeper but fewer social connections—appear to match well with the natural development of the social world as they grow older”可知，内向者偏好安静环境、享受独处、注重深度社交等特质，与衰老过程中社交世界的自然变化（如社交选择性增强）高度契合。故选D。 4．最佳标题题。通读文章可知，全文围绕多项研究展开，核心论点是内向者的特质（如深度思考、选择性社交、擅长独处）使其更能适应衰老带来的社交变化和心理挑战，从而在老年阶段表现出更好的心理调整能力。C选项 “内向的人：年龄越大感觉越好”最为适合。故选C。 3 Some research results have shown that health is connected to personality (性格). But until now, this relationship hasn’t changed how health care is given. Some health workers aren’t sure if there is a direct connection between them. Some think it’s their duty to treat all patients in the same way. Others believe that giving health care according to patients’ personalities doesn’t make a big difference to the patients, so it’s not worth trying. However, some researchers think that treating patients differently can have a good effect on their health. Recently, research on personality has mainly focused on five types of personalities: being outgoing, being kind, being open-minded, being responsible and being easily nervous. They have already got some findings. For example, responsible people are less likely to smoke or drink a lot. So, if health workers offer service according to patients’ personalities, it could be easier for patients to follow the advice or accept treatment. Let’s take people who like looking for excitement as an example. They are the out-going one in the five types and like to take part in risky activities and get energy in social situations. So, to encourage these people to follow health advice, we should design such activities to improve their health. When health workers send information to some patients, they should also think about the patients’ personalities. And then the patients will be more willing to accept their advice or treatment. For example, if less responsible people need to see a doctor, making a call to remind them is more suitable. So far, there has been very little research in this area, but it’s worth further study. Until now, the research on personality and health has had little practical (实际的) use. By exploring their connection further, the relationship between researchers and health workers could be improved. 1．What do some health workers think of giving health care according to patients" personalities? A．It’s very important and they must do it. B．It makes a big difference to all patients. C．They think that it is not worth doing. D．It has had a lot of practical use now. 2．________ people are less likely to smoke or drink a lot. A．Kind B．Outgoing C．Nervous D．Responsible 3．In this passage, the writer support the influence of personality on health by ________. A．asking for advice B．doing more experiments C．giving examples D．using facts and numbers 4．According to the passage, which of the following is more helpful for an out-going patient? A． B． C． D． 【答案】1．C 2．D 3．C 4．B 【解析】本文探讨了性格与健康之间的关系，并指出根据患者性格提供个性化医疗服务可能带来的积极影响。 1．细节理解题。根据“Others believe that giving health care according to patients’ personalities doesn’t make a big difference to the patients, so it’s not worth trying.”可知，一些医护人员认为不值得这样做。故选C。 2．细节理解题。根据“For example, responsible people are less likely to smoke or drink a lot.”可知，负责任的人不太可能吸烟或酗酒。故选D。 3．推理判断题。本文通过举例（如负责任的人较少吸烟酗酒，外向的人适合参与健康活动等）支持性格对健康的影响。故选C。 4．推理判断题。根据外向性格的特点（喜欢参与冒险活动和社交），适合为他们设计互动性强、社交性的健康活动，图片B中两人去爬山，有冒险性且社交性强，对外向型病人更有帮助。故选B。 4 I’m Patrick Williams, from Suzhou Student Post.

I wish I could be happier about everything! 18    2 Li Jing I want to change my bad temper (脾气) most. I get angry too easily, and hurt the people I love.

I really want to work on my temper and be kinder to the people I love. 15    5 Wang Di The only thing I am not pleased with about myself is my teeth.

How do you feel about yourself? I was walking down the street in Beijing the other day and passed a couple sitting on a bench. “She must be 180 centimeters tall,” I heard the woman say to the man. I turned to look at them straight in the eye at once. I felt angry and awkward (尴尬的) that they were talking about me. The woman suddenly said, “Oh, she must understand Chinese.” “Yes, I do,” I replied. Then, they both smiled and laughed, and so did I. This was yet another time in China when strangers stared or talked about my appearance (外表). It’s either because of my unusually tall height as a woman or because I am a foreigner. As a shy person, this makes me feel quite uncomfortable. I just want to fit in! I usually just try to ignore (忽视) such people, but this time, as soon as I talked to the couple, they changed from strangers to people I just shared a warm and funny moment with. It reminded me how important it is to have the right attitude (态度) and to be understanding. There aren’t that many foreigners in China, so it’s only natural that Chinese people will feel curious about foreigners and how they look different. Although, when people stare at you it feels a bit hostile (充满敌意的), most people are simply curious and may even want to chat with you. In short, I can’t change this situation. The only thing I can change is my attitude toward it. Life is too short to be influenced by the little things. We need to enjoy each moment with a positive (积极的) and open attitude! 1．The writer heard the woman talking about her appearance because ________. A．she understood Chinese B．the woman spoke loudly to her C．they knew well each other D．she was proud of her appearance 2．What’s the correct order of the following events? ① The writer’s attitude to strangers’ staring and talking began to change. ② The writer felt angry and awkward. ③ The woman’s word about the writer’s height was heard by the writer. ④ The writer replied to the woman and shared a smile with them. A．①④③② B．③①②④ C．③②④① D．①③④② 3．In Paragraph 4, we can know the writer ________. A．was still angry with strangers’ staring and talking B．couldn’t understand why people were curious about her C．was interested in telling her life in a foreign country D．tried to put herself in other people’s shoes 4．What has the writer learned from her experience? A．It’s hard for a foreigner to live abroad. B．It’s impolite to judge people by their looks. C．We should have a positive and open attitude.

Have you thought  about their meanings in films? Much like colors, different shapes can show different features (特点) of characters in the scenes. Circles represent (代表) things that are soft and natural. The round shape reminds us of things that appear in nature, like the sun, raindrops and so on. We can also connect circles with beautiful eyes, babies’ round faces. All these things make us feel happy and warm. This is why so many cartoon characters bodies-heroes, good people are round in shape, because circles represent goodness. Squares show things that are unnatural or man-made, or things that are boring or old-fashioned. In Up, Carl, has a square face and wears square glasses, while Russell, always wears round medals. These shapes show the characters’ personalities. Carl is stubborn (执拗的) and lonely. The angriest shape is the triangle. Every kid who draws a monster with sharp teeth draws a row of triangles, don’t they? That’s because the shape represents fear, distrust and doubt in some way. Look at the bad guys in cartoons—they are all drawn with plenty of points and triangles, like Shengongbao in Ne Zha. And triangles are stable (稳固的) and don’t easily fall down. In films, this feature makes bad people difficult to deal with. Not only in cartoons, but also in other kinds of films, different shapes are used for the same purpose. So, try to find the hidden shapes and you will know what the characters are like. 1．The writer explains the relationship between squares and personalities of cartoon characters by ________. A．telling a story B．giving an example C．raising a question D．showing the results of a study 2．Why is Shengongbao mentioned in Paragraph 4? A．Because kids think he is a monster. B．Because he has a row of sharp teeth. C．Because he is a bad guy in the film. D．Because he is not easy to deal with. 3．What does the underlined word “triangle” refer to? A． B． C． D． 4．Which of the following is the structure of the passage? A． B． C． D． 5．What does the passage mainly talk about? A．Why different shapes represent different things. B．What makes heroes in films have great charm: C．What different shapes represent in films. D．How to make cartoons with different colors and shapes. 【答案】1．B 2．C 3．A 4．A 5．C 【解析】本文介绍了我们随处可见圆形、正方形和三角形，不同的形状可以在场景中显示不同的人物特征。 1．细节理解题。根据“In Up, Carl, has a square face and wears square glasses, while Russell, always wears round medals.”可知，作者通过举例来说明方形与卡通人物性格的关系。故选B。 2．细节理解题。根据“Look at the bad guys in cartoons—they are all drawn with plenty of points and triangles, like Shengongbao in Ne Zha.”可知，申公豹是坏人。故选C。 3．词义猜测题。根据“And triangles are stable (稳固的)”可知，三角形具有稳定性，故选A。 4．篇章结构题。第一段提出主题，不同的形状可以在场景中显示不同的人物特征；第二三四段，分别介绍圆形、正方形和三角形与人物的联系；第五段总结。故选A。 5．主旨大意题。本文介绍了我们随处可见圆形、正方形和三角形，不同的形状可以在场景中显示不同的人物特征。因此文章主要是谈论不同的形状代表了什么，故选C。 8 Are you an “E person” or an “I person”? These two personality labels (个性标签) are widely discussed online. They are part of a popular personality test called the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator, or MBTI. There are 16 results in total of the test. Usually, an “I person” is quiet, while an “E person” is outgoing. But an “I person” can still act outgoing sometimes. For example, when an “I person” is with a group of “I” friends, they might want to change and become more social like an “E person”. According to psychologists (心理家), this idea of personality changing is called “masking” (伪装). That is hiding your true personality in certain situations. “Humans want to be welcomed, and they might change their personalities within a short time,” wrote the Master Class website. Using the MBTI result to describe someone’s personality seems fun. However, I realized I was deeply influenced by the result once. My sister was excitedly making a travel plan. But I remembered from an article that a “P person” doesn’t like to make or follow plans. So I said to her, “You don’t seem like a ‘P person’.” “Why?” She asked back. “Because the personality test tells a ‘P person’ doesn’t like to make plans!” At that moment, I realized I’d taken the result too seriously. The MBTI personality test may show something you don’t know about yourself. And it can even be a fun way to start a conversation when meeting new friends. And that’s all for fun. Knowing someone’s MBTI result doesn’t mean you really know this person. And those results of yours don’t define (定义) who you are. 1．An “I person” is usually _______ than an “E person”. A．quieter B．more popular C．more outgoing D．more typical 2．Humans change their personalities within a short time to _______. A．be welcomed B．make new friends C．be a psychologist D．laugh at others 3．What can we infer (推断) from Paragraph 4? A．A “P person” doesn’t like to make plans. B．The writer’s sister may take a trip soon. C．The writer’s sister was influenced by the test result. D．It’s not fun to use the MBTI result to describe someone. 4．If you know a person’s MBTI personality test result, you _______. A．can’t see it as a fun game B．may still not know this person well C．can’t find an interesting way to communicate D．won’t feel happy to stay with this person 5．Where can we read this passage? A．In a diary. B．In a novel. C．In a magazine. D．In a dictionary. 【答案】1．A 2．A 3．B 4．B 5．C 【解析】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了MBTI性格测试。 1．细节理解题。根据“Usually, an ‘I person’ is quiet, while an ‘E person’ is outgoing.”可知，“I person”通常比“E person”安静。故选A。 2．细节理解题。根据“Humans want to be welcomed, and they might change their personalities within a short time”可知，人类希望受到欢迎，他们可能会在短时间内改变自己的性格。故选A。 3．推理判断题。根据“My sister was excitedly making a travel plan.”及“At that moment, I realized I’d taken the result too seriously.”可推知，作者的姐姐可能很快就会去旅行。故选B。 4．细节理解题。根据“Knowing someone’s MBTI result doesn’t mean you really know this person.”可知，知道某人的MBTI结果并不意味着你真的了解这个人。故选B。 5．推理判断题。根据“They are part of a popular personality test called the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator, or MBTI. There are 16 results in total of the test.”这是MBTI性格测试，可推知，我们可能在杂志上读到该文。故选C。 9 Are you afraid to speak in public? Are you a shy person? If you think you are too shy and want to be a little bit braver, try the following. You can make it. ★Tell people you’re shy. There’s no need to hide it. When they get to know you are a shy kid, they’ll understand you better. This also helps you feel at ease in talks. ★Smile to everyone. When you smile, people think you are friendly and easy to talk to. Remember that other people also have such feelings and most people will stay away from an angry-looking face. ★Say something nice about the people around you. If you find it hard to start talks, say something nice about the people around you. Think about how great you feel when someone says something nice to you.

Nowadays, it is an accepted fact that our positions in the family possibly have the strongest influence on our characters. Firstborn children often have to look after their younger brothers and sisters, so they’re usually responsible as adults. They also may be ambitious (有雄心的) and they make good leaders. On the negative side, the oldest children can be insecure. This is because when the second child is born, they lose some of their parents’ attention. Middle children are more relaxed than the oldest children, probably because their parents will be more relaxed themselves when the second child arrives. They’re usually very sociable—the kind of people who get on with everybody. They are also more aware of what other people need, because they grow up between older and younger brothers and sisters. For the same reason, they’re often quite good at solving arguments. On the other hand, middle children sometimes are not ambitious and don’t have directions in life. The youngest children are often very outgoing. This is the way they try to get the attention of both their parents and their older brothers and sisters. But they might depend too much on other people, because they have always been the baby of the family. Only children usually do very well at school, because they have a lot of contact (联系) with adults. They get a lot of love and attention from their parents, so they’re often very self-confident. They’re also independent, as they spend much time by themselves. But they might get quite selfish and impatient. 1．Which is closest in meaning to the underlined word “insecure” in Paragraph 2? A．Worried. B．Honest. C．Powerful. D．Tired. 2．Who can be more caring friends? A．The oldest children. B．Middle children. C．The youngest children. D．Only children. 3．Where does only children get their confidence? A．From their schoolwork. B．From solving arguments. C．From their parents’ love. D．From spending time alone. 4．Which shows the structure of this passage? A． B． C． D． 5．What is mainly discussed in the passage? A．How birth order influences one’s character. B．What connects brothers and sisters in a family. C．Why a family should have more than one child. D．Which child gets the most attention from parents. 【答案】1．A 2．B 3．C 4．D 5．A 【解析】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要探讨兄弟姐妹的不同排行会影响一个人的性格形成。 1．词句猜测题。根据“On the negative side, the oldest children can be insecure. This is because when the second child is born, they lose some of their parents’ attention.”可知，此处表达当第二个孩子出生时，年龄最大的孩子会失去父母的一些关注。所以他们会担心，所以insecure意为“担忧的”，与worried同义，故选A。 2．细节理解题。根据“They’re usually very sociable—the kind of people who get on with everybody. They are also more aware of what other people need, because they grow up between older and younger brothers and sisters.”可知，中间的孩子通常非常善于交际，他们也更清楚其他人需要什么，更加有爱心，故选B。 3．细节理解题。根据“They get a lot of love and attention from their parents, so they’re often very self-confident.”可知，独生子女从父母那里得到了很多爱和关注，所以他们通常非常自信，即他们从父母的爱中得到自信心。故选C。 4．篇章结构后题。通读全文可知，文章第一段讲述孩子在家庭中的地位可能对我们的性格影响最大，二、三、四、五段分别讲述最大的孩子、中间的孩子、最小的孩子还有独生子的性格特点。故选项D符合题意，故选D。 5．主旨大意题。通读全文可知，文章主要探讨兄弟姐妹的不同排行会影响一个人的性格形成。选项A“出生顺序如何影响一个人的性格”符合题意，故选A。 11 Daisy likes reading Modern Girl magazine because it often has some tests about personal preferences (喜好).
