The bell for lunch rang at Glendale Primary School. However, instead of heading to the canteen like all the other children did, Jonah, a new student at the school, went to the library. Other than the noise of the air-conditioner, the library was quiet and there was barely a soul in sight. Far in a corner, he spotted Mrs Lim, the librarian, who was too busy shelving some books to pay any attention to him. The library was near to the canteen. Jonah could hear children laughing and chatting. He wished he was outside playing with some friends but he did not let this bother him.
Suddenly, Jonah heard a sound in the corner. He looked around and saw a pair of eyes looking at him from behind, the bookshelves. Jonah turned back, eyes as wide as saucers (茶碟). “Oh dear!” he whispered. He peeked (窥视) over his shoulder again and saw a smaller boy walking towards him.
The boy pulled out the chair next to Jonah and sat down. “I’m Henry. Why are you reading here when you could be playing with your friends instead?” asked he. “Uh...” Jonah looked around the library, avoiding Henry’s gaze (注视). He did not want Henry to know the real reason why he was in the library. What would Henry think of him if he knew Jonah did not have any friends? It would make Jonah feel more uncomfortable.
As Jonah turned the page, he realized Henry was still sitting there, watching him steadily.
“I know how you feel. Just say hello to someone today,” Henry encouraged Jonah. “I promise they’ll respond. Once you’ve made the first move, it just gets easier.”
Jonah appreciated the advice and thanked him before making his way out of the library. In the hallway outside the library, a boy from Jonah’s class was crouched on the floor, picking up pens and pencils that had dropped out of his pencil case. Jonah remembered what Henry had advised him to do.
“Hello, I’m Jonah. Let me help you,” he offered.
The boy looked up at him. “Thank you! My name is Ruben.”
Victory at last, Jonah thought, feeling proud of himself.
24. What can we know from the text?
A. The thought of playing outside bothered Jonah.
B. The library was not crowded at lunchtime.
C. The librarian was annoyed by the noise outside.
D. Jonah had had lunch before going to the library.
25. Why were Jonah’s eyes “as wide as saucers” in paragraph 2?
A. He turned too quickly and felt a little dizzy.
B. He was shocked by the pair of eyes peeking at him.
C. He was too thin because of lacking enough nutrition.
D. He didn’t expect the smaller boy would come to him.
26. What does the underlined word “It” in paragraph 3 refer to?
A. Jonah’s not having any friends in the school.
B. Henry’s impoliteness in asking the question.
C. Jonah’s shyness after he found Henry’s gaze.
D. Henry’s thought of Jonah if he knew Jonah’s real situation.
27. Why was Jonah proud of himself at last?
A. He had never doubted or forgotten Henry’s advice.
B. He had completed a good deed of helping a classmate.
C. He had managed to overcome his fear and shyness.
D. He had met a classmate who was in the same situation.

My granddad often helped me make a tool to catch fish when I was young and we would spend hours along a river. It was lovely for both of us then. Many more of today’s grandparents have a growing sense of adventure. And a trend is catching on: skip-gen travel — grandparents taking fun-filled vacations with grand kids without their parents along.
A survey found that 83% of grandparents put travel with their grand kids as the number one thing when they retire. Skip-gen travel gets popular for good reason. Kids have their lives enriched and learn outside classrooms. This is also a time of talking and sharing ideas.
“How grandparents talk to children is different from how parents talk to them. Actually, I feel on a more equal footing with my grandchildren than I do with my own children,” Annie Collins, a travel architect and also part of the trend, says. “Kids away from their parents are more open to ideas and willing to express themselves. It’s not just kids gaining from traveling. Who gets the most out of this? You might think it’s them but it’s us.” According to a study by the Cleveland Clinic, grandparents who help watch and spend time with grand kids may actually live longer than their peers(同龄人).
It’s also important to recognize that grandparents often have more time to travel. Unlike their children, who may still be in the pursuit of a personal career that offers limited time off, grandparents are often retired and likely have a different viewpoint on life, prioritizing experiences and family. So knowing the kids are in great hands, moms and dads will have a bit of time to themselves — some much-needed leisure time alone to rest and recharge their batteries.
However, skip-gen travel is not for every grandparent. After all, grandparents are worn out with years and not so energetic. They surely treasure the chance to form close ties with their grandchildren, but it’s wiser to say no when only the youth could enjoy themselves, for the travel should be a win for everyone involved.
28. Why does the author mention fishing experiences with his granddad?
A. To lead in the trend of skip-gen travel. B. To share the pleasure in going fishing.
C. To stress the importance of family ties. D. To show the growing interest in adventure.
29. Which of the following may Annie Collins agree?
A. Many parents are too strict with children.
B. Grandparents benefit more from skip-gen travel.
C. Spending time with grandparents is better for kids.
D. Children become mature when away from parents.
30. What do we know about the parents whose kids are on skip-gen travel?
A. They enjoy the moment to relax. B. They feel less anxious and stressed.
C. They miss their kids very much. D. They look forward to their own trip.
31. What does the author suggest grandparents do?
A. Get kids involved in travel planning. B. Strengthen the bond with grandchildren.
C. Reduce skip-gen travel appropriately. D. Make decisions in both sides’ interests.
D
Let’s face it—most of us can’t resist a cup of tea or coffee sometimes. They’re a perfect pick-me-up and comforter. But there are alternative drinks, so why have we chosen these as our go-to drinks to soothe our busy lives? And which one is superior?
Let’s start with tea-it’s the second most consumed drink in the world. For many-especially the British-having a “cuppa” is a daily practice. The caffeine contained in it helps wake you up in the morning, and throughout the day we’ll make a brew to distract us from our work. And according to some scientists, habitual tea consumption can have some health benefits. Andrew Steptoe, a professor from University College London’s Department of Epidemiology and Public Health, told BBC Food that drinking black tea “may speed up recovery from the daily stresses in life. . . but we do not know what ingredients of tea were responsible for these effects on stress recovery and relaxation”.
Coffee is tea’s "trendier" rival(对手). Its popularity has grown over the years, and this is reflected in the number of coffee shops we see around-places to hang out, do business or catch up with friends. Coffee can taste great and can be served in many ways, but it’s sometimes how you have it that can be seen as a status symbol or the preserve of hipsters(潮人)I Of course, it gives you a strong caffeine hit-roughly double of that contained in tea. However, too much can lead to anxiety. Sleep scientist Matt Walker told the BBC that caffeine can decrease the amount of restorative deep sleep you have.
But some scientists say drinking coffee-and green tea-can also be good for us. Researchers at Osaka University linked drinking a daily cup of coffee with a lower risk of death among both stroke survivors and healthy people, while drinking seven or more cups of green tea was associated with a lower risk of death among both heart attack and stroke survivors. So, whether we turn to coffee or tea for its taste, its image or as a lifestyle choice, it could be a lifesaver!
32. What does the underlined word “soothe“ in Paragraph 1 mean?
A. Change. B. Relieve.
C. Describe. D. Copy-
33. It can be inferred from Paragraph 2 that ____.
A. tea is the most consumed drink in the world
B. the caffeine in tea can cure people of illness
C. tea helps promote our careers and friendship
D. the ingredients of tea help people forget trouble
34. Which of the following may Matt Walker agree with?
A Too much coffee is not good for sleep.
B. Black tea speeds up recovery from the daily stresses.
C. Coffee is surely more popular than tea.
D. Drinking a daily cup of coffee guarantees a long life.
35. In which section can you read the passage on a magazine website?
A. Technology. B. Entertainment.
C. Business. D. Health.

Silence is polite
___40___ They may be radio broadcasts, news channels, stores and the constant chatter of people around us.

Amy had been living with Mr and Mrs Acharya for over six months. They were a retired couple who had taken her in as a paying guest while she began her first year of engineering college in a new city. Despite being away from her own family for the first time ever, she felt at home with the Acharyas ’ warmth and kindness.
Mr Acharya, a retired engineer, had greatly supported Amy’s studies. He often reviewed her notes, offered advice and patiently explained difficult topics to her. His friendly nature and guidance made her educational journey smoother and more enjoyable.
However, today was different. It was Amy’s birthday, yet being so far away from her family made her feel very low. The care the Acharyas offered her was comforting, but she felt an emptiness only her beloved family members could fill on this special day. She sat quietly in the living room, where Mr Acharya was reading a book. And Mrs Acharya was busy in the kitchen. Amy didn’t mention that it was her birthday, for she didn’t want to trouble them. Instead, she just sighed softly, looking at the family photos on her phone.
Mrs Acharya looked at her knowingly from the kitchen but said nothing. She and her husband had actually marked this special date in their calendar months ago, when they first saw it on Amy’s college admission papers. They had been quietly planning a surprise for days.
During dinner, the elderly couple chatted about everyday matters as usual. The meal was delicious, with some of Amy’s favorite dishes which Mrs Acharya had specially prepared. Still, Amy couldn’t help but feel sad. She tried to focus on the conversation and enjoy the food, but her thoughts kept returning to her family. She kept checking her silent phone, wondering why her parents hadn’t called or sent messages to wish her a happy birthday. She thought about how, every year on her birthday, her mother cooked her favourite meal and her father took her on a lovely drive and treated her to her favourite strawberry ice cream.
After dinner, the Acharyas kindly invited Amy to the backyard.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
After the celebration, the Acharyas drove Amy to a nearby ice cream shop.

So tell us about the tool you're working on now. Well, IT uses a computer ship and special glasses. We start by putting the chip in a blind person's eyes. The chip is very, very small, of course, and the glasses have a very small video camera inside. So how did the computer chip and glasses work together? Well. a blind person puts on the glasses and looks at something. For example, this pen. First, the video camera in the glasses takes a picture of the pen, then the camera sends the picture to the computer ship in the person size. and then the person can see the pen exactly. This whole process happens very quickly, of course. wow. Now using this tool, will a blind person be able to see as well as a . Normal one? No, they won't have perfect vision, but they will be able to see many things. This tool is still new, but for many of the people in our study, it's changed their lives.

【原文】Today’s grandparents are joining their grandchildren on social media, but different generations’ online habits could be different. In the UK the over-55s are joining Facebook in increasing numbers, meaning that they will soon be the site’s second biggest user group, with 6.4 million users. Sheila, aged 59, said she joined Facebook to see what her grandchildren are doing, as her daughter Daisy posts videos and photos of them online.

The bell for lunch rang at Glendale Primary School. However, instead of heading to the canteen like all the other children did, Jonah, a new student at the school, went to the library. Other than the noise of the air-conditioner, the library was quiet and there was barely a soul in sight. Far in a corner, he spotted Mrs Lim, the librarian, who was too busy shelving some books to pay any attention to him. The library was near to the canteen. Jonah could hear children laughing and chatting. He wished he was outside playing with some friends but he did not let this bother him.
Suddenly, Jonah heard a sound in the corner. He looked around and saw a pair of eyes looking at him from behind, the bookshelves. Jonah turned back, eyes as wide as saucers (茶碟). “Oh dear!” he whispered. He peeked (窥视) over his shoulder again and saw a smaller boy walking towards him.
The boy pulled out the chair next to Jonah and sat down. “I’m Henry. Why are you reading here when you could be playing with your friends instead?” asked he. “Uh...” Jonah looked around the library, avoiding Henry’s gaze (注视). He did not want Henry to know the real reason why he was in the library. What would Henry think of him if he knew Jonah did not have any friends? It would make Jonah feel more uncomfortable.
As Jonah turned the page, he realized Henry was still sitting there, watching him steadily.
“I know how you feel. Just say hello to someone today,” Henry encouraged Jonah. “I promise they’ll respond. Once you’ve made the first move, it just gets easier.”
Jonah appreciated the advice and thanked him before making his way out of the library. In the hallway outside the library, a boy from Jonah’s class was crouched on the floor, picking up pens and pencils that had dropped out of his pencil case. Jonah remembered what Henry had advised him to do.
“Hello, I’m Jonah. Let me help you,” he offered.
The boy looked up at him. “Thank you! My name is Ruben.”
Victory at last, Jonah thought, feeling proud of himself.
24. What can we know from the text?
A. The thought of playing outside bothered Jonah.
B. The library was not crowded at lunchtime.
C. The librarian was annoyed by the noise outside.
D. Jonah had had lunch before going to the library.
25. Why were Jonah’s eyes “as wide as saucers” in paragraph 2?
A. He turned too quickly and felt a little dizzy.
B. He was shocked by the pair of eyes peeking at him.
C. He was too thin because of lacking enough nutrition.
D. He didn’t expect the smaller boy would come to him.
26. What does the underlined word “It” in paragraph 3 refer to?
A. Jonah’s not having any friends in the school.
B. Henry’s impoliteness in asking the question.
C. Jonah’s shyness after he found Henry’s gaze.
D. Henry’s thought of Jonah if he knew Jonah’s real situation.
27. Why was Jonah proud of himself at last?
A. He had never doubted or forgotten Henry’s advice.
B. He had completed a good deed of helping a classmate.
C. He had managed to overcome his fear and shyness.
D. He had met a classmate who was in the same situation.
【答案】24. B 25. B 26. D 27. C

【分析】本文是一篇记叙文。讲述了乔纳是个害羞的孩子,这天他一个人躲到了图书馆里去了,遇到了亨利,最后在亨利的鼓励下,第一次和别人打了招呼。
【24题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“Other than the noise of the air-conditioner, the library was quiet and there was barely a soul in sight.(除了空调的噪音,图书馆很安静,几乎看不到一个人)”可知,此处表示午餐时间图书馆并不拥挤。故选B项。
【25题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“He looked around and saw a pair of eyes looking at him from behind, the bookshelves. Jonah turned back, eyes as wide as saucers (茶碟). “Oh dear!” he whispered.(他环顾四周,看见一双眼睛从书架后面看着他。乔纳转过身来,眼睛睁得像碟子一样大。”哦,天哪!”他低声说)”可知,此处表示一双眼睛从书架后面盯着他看,他惊呆了,所以眼睛才会像碟子一样大。故选B项。
【26题详解】
指代猜测题。根据第三段中“What would Henry think of him if he knew Jonah did not have any friends? It would make Jonah feel more uncomfortable.(如果亨利知道乔纳没有朋友,他会怎么想他?这会让乔纳觉得更不舒服)”可知,此处表示“It”指代如果亨利知道乔纳没有朋友,他会对乔纳有什么想法。故选D项。
【27题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段中“Once you’ve made the first move, it just gets easier.(一旦你迈出了第一步,事情就变得简单多了)”和倒数三段““Hello, I’m Jonah. Let me help you,” he offered. The boy looked up at him. “Thank you! My name is Ruben.” Victory at last, Jonah thought, feeling proud of himself.(“你好,我是乔纳。“让我来帮你,”他说。男孩抬头看着他。”非常感谢。我叫鲁本。“终于胜利了,乔纳心想,为自己感到骄傲)”可知,此处表示乔纳设法克服了恐惧和羞怯,第一次和别人打了招呼,并且帮助了同学。故选C项。
C
My granddad often helped me make a tool to catch fish when I was young and we would spend hours along a river. It was lovely for both of us then. Many more of today’s grandparents have a growing sense of adventure. And a trend is catching on: skip-gen travel — grandparents taking fun-filled vacations with grand kids without their parents along.
A survey found that 83% of grandparents put travel with their grand kids as the number one thing when they retire. Skip-gen travel gets popular for good reason. Kids have their lives enriched and learn outside classrooms. This is also a time of talking and sharing ideas.
“How grandparents talk to children is different from how parents talk to them. Actually, I feel on a more equal footing with my grandchildren than I do with my own children,” Annie Collins, a travel architect and also part of the trend, says. “Kids away from their parents are more open to ideas and willing to express themselves. It’s not just kids gaining from traveling. Who gets the most out of this? You might think it’s them but it’s us.” According to a study by the Cleveland Clinic, grandparents who help watch and spend time with grand kids may actually live longer than their peers(同龄人).
It’s also important to recognize that grandparents often have more time to travel. Unlike their children, who may still be in the pursuit of a personal career that offers limited time off, grandparents are often retired and likely have a different viewpoint on life, prioritizing experiences and family. So knowing the kids are in great hands, moms and dads will have a bit of time to themselves — some much-needed leisure time alone to rest and recharge their batteries.
However, skip-gen travel is not for every grandparent. After all, grandparents are worn out with years and not so energetic. They surely treasure the chance to form close ties with their grandchildren, but it’s wiser to say no when only the youth could enjoy themselves, for the travel should be a win for everyone involved.
28. Why does the author mention fishing experiences with his granddad?
A. To lead in the trend of skip-gen travel. B. To share the pleasure in going fishing.
C. To stress the importance of family ties. D. To show the growing interest in adventure.
29. Which of the following may Annie Collins agree?
A. Many parents are too strict with children.
B. Grandparents benefit more from skip-gen travel.
C. Spending time with grandparents is better for kids.
D. Children become mature when away from parents.
30. What do we know about the parents whose kids are on skip-gen travel?
A. They enjoy the moment to relax. B. They feel less anxious and stressed.
C. They miss their kids very much. D. They look forward to their own trip.
31. What does the author suggest grandparents do?
A. Get kids involved in travel planning. B. Strengthen the bond with grandchildren.
C. Reduce skip-gen travel appropriately. D. Make decisions in both sides’ interests.
【答案】28. A 29. B 30. A 31. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。随着越来越多祖父母冒险意识的增强,跨代旅游开始流行起来。研究发现,跨代旅游对祖父母、父母以及孩子均大有裨益。
【28题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段的“My granddad often helped me make a tool to catch fish when I was young and we would spend hours along a river. It was lovely for both of us then. Many more of today's grandparents have a growing sense of adventure. And a trend is catching on: skip-gen travel(我小的时候,爷爷经常帮我做一个捕鱼的工具,我们会在河边呆上几个小时。那时候对我们俩来说都很美好。如今,越来越多的祖父母有了一种越来越强烈的冒险意识。一种趋势正在兴起:跨代旅行)”可知,作者提到自己小时候与爷爷一起抓鱼的经历是为了引出如今祖父母辈与孙辈之间新的相处模式,即跨代旅游。故选A。
【29题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段的“Actually, I feel on a more equal footing with my grandchildren than I do with my own children(事实上,我觉得我和我的孙辈比我和我自己的孩子更平等)”以及“It’s not just kids gaining from traveling.Who gets the most out of this? You might think it's them but it's us(这不仅仅是孩子们从旅行中获得的。谁能从中获益最多?你可能认为是他们,但其实是我们)”可以推断出,身为祖母和跨代旅游的实践者,Annie Collins认为祖父母辈从跨代旅游中受益更多。故选B。
【30题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段的“So knowing the kids are in great hands, moms and dads will have a bit of time to themselves- some much-needed leisure time alone to rest and recharge their batteries(所以知道孩子们被照顾得很好,父母们就会有一些属于他们自己的时间——一些他们急需的闲暇时间来休息和充电)”可知,当孩子与祖父母外出旅游时,父母也能拥有自己的休闲时间,用来放松和休整。故选A。
【31题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段的“They surely treasure the chance to form close ties with their grandchildren, but it's wiser to say no when only the youth could enjoy themselves, for the travel should be a win for everyone involved(他们肯定会珍惜这个与孙辈建立亲密关系的机会,但当只有年轻人可以享受时,明智的做法是说不,因为这趟旅行对参与其中的每个人都应该是一个胜利)”可知,作者认为跨代旅游应该是一件双赢的事,只有对祖父母和孩子都有利时才应进行,由此可知,作者建议祖父母做有利于双方利益的决定。故选D。

Let’s face it—most of us can’t resist a cup of tea or coffee sometimes. They’re a perfect pick-me-up and comforter. But there are alternative drinks, so why have we chosen these as our go-to drinks to soothe our busy lives? And which one is superior?
Let’s start with tea-it’s the second most consumed drink in the world. For many-especially the British-having a “cuppa” is a daily practice. The caffeine contained in it helps wake you up in the morning, and throughout the day we’ll make a brew to distract us from our work. And according to some scientists, habitual tea consumption can have some health benefits. Andrew Steptoe, a professor from University College London’s Department of Epidemiology and Public Health, told BBC Food that drinking black tea “may speed up recovery from the daily stresses in life. . . but we do not know what ingredients of tea were responsible for these effects on stress recovery and relaxation”.
Coffee is tea’s "trendier" rival(对手). Its popularity has grown over the years, and this is reflected in the number of coffee shops we see around-places to hang out, do business or catch up with friends. Coffee can taste great and can be served in many ways, but it’s sometimes how you have it that can be seen as a status symbol or the preserve of hipsters(潮人)I Of course, it gives you a strong caffeine hit-roughly double of that contained in tea. However, too much can lead to anxiety. Sleep scientist Matt Walker told the BBC that caffeine can decrease the amount of restorative deep sleep you have.
But some scientists say drinking coffee-and green tea-can also be good for us. Researchers at Osaka University linked drinking a daily cup of coffee with a lower risk of death among both stroke survivors and healthy people while drinking seven or more cups of green tea was associated with a lower risk of death among both heart attack and stroke survivors. So, whether we turn to coffee or tea for its taste, its image or as a lifestyle choice, it could be a lifesaver!
32. What does the underlined word “soothe“ in Paragraph 1 mean?
A. Change. B. Relieve.
C. Describe. D. Copy-
33. It can be inferred from Paragraph 2 that ____.
A. tea is the most consumed drink in the world
B. the caffeine in tea can cure people of illness
C. tea helps promote our careers and friendship
D. the ingredients of tea help people forget trouble
34. Which of the following may Matt Walker agree with?
A Too much coffee is not good for sleep.
B. Black tea speeds up recovery from the daily stresses.
C. Coffee is surely more popular than tea.
D. Drinking a daily cup of coffee guarantees a long life.
35. In which section can you read the passage on a magazine website?
A. Technology. B. Entertainment.
C. Business. D. Health.
【答案】32. B 33. D 34. A 35. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了茶和咖啡深受人们喜爱,并简单说明了喝茶或咖啡的好处。
【32题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第一段前两句“Let’s face it—most of us can’t resist a cup of tea or coffee sometimes.They’re a perfect pick-me-up and comforter(让我们认清现实吧——大多数人有时都无法抗拒一杯茶或咖啡。它们是一种完美的鼓舞和安慰)”可知茶和咖啡有提神、安慰的作用,结合划线单词后的“our busy lives”可知茶和咖啡能缓解我们忙碌的生活,由此可知划线词词义为“缓解”,故选B项。
【33题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“Andrew Steptoe, a professor from University College London’s Department of Epidemiology and Public Health, told BBC Food that drinking black tea “may speed up recovery from the daily stresses in life. . . but we do not know what ingredients of tea were responsible for these effects on stress recovery and relaxation”.(伦敦大学学院流行病学和公共卫生学系教授Andrew Steptoe告诉BBC食品频道说,喝红茶“可以加快从日常生活压力中恢复过来……但我们不知道茶中的哪些成分对压力恢复和放松有这些效果。”)”可知,茶里的某些成分有减轻压力、放松的效果,即让人们暂时忘记让他们烦恼的事情。故选D项。
【34题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段最后两句“However, too much can lead to anxiety. Sleep scientist Matt Walker told the BBC that caffeine can decrease the amount of restorative deep sleep you have. (然而,过多会导致焦虑。睡眠科学家Matt Walker告诉BBC,咖啡因会减少让人恢复精力的深度睡眠。)”可知过度地饮用咖啡不利于睡眠。故选A项。
【35题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文,尤其是最后一段“ Researchers at Osaka University linked drinking a daily cup of coffee with a lower risk of death among both stroke survivors and healthy people, while drinking seven or more cups of green tea was associated with a lower risk of death among both heart attack and stroke survivors. So, whether we turn to coffee or tea for its taste, its image or as a lifestyle choice, it could be a lifesaver!(大阪大学的研究人员发现,在中风幸存者和健康人群中,每天喝一杯咖啡的死亡风险较低,而在心脏病发作和中风幸存者中,喝七杯或更多绿茶的死亡风险较低。所以,无论我们选择咖啡还是茶是因为它的味道、它的形象或作为一种生活方式的选择,它都可能是我们的救命稻草!)”可知这篇文章主要告诉读者喝茶或者咖啡对身体有好处。所以这篇文章取自于杂志的“健康”部分。故选D项。

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。
When we answer questions with silence, it is often very powerful indeed. ___36___ For some people, silence comes naturally. But there are quite a few of us who need to learn the art of practicing silence. Read on for more reasons to try silence in your daily communications.
Silence gets people’s attention
If you have ever been in a classroom, you have most likely experienced how silence often gets everyone’s attention. When the teacher stops talking, a signal goes to the brain that something has happened. ___37___ The same is true in our daily conversations. If we fall silent, people will notice it and we gain their attention.
Silence uses body language
Often our body language is a more powerful way of communicating than what comes out of our mouth. ___38___The ability to understand and use body language is a powerful tool that can help you connect with others, express what you really mean, and build better relationships.
Silence offers sympathy for others
There are times in life when silence offers sympathy and understanding to others. Sometimes we simply don’t have the right words to communicate to someone who is struggling with a hurtful or painful situation. But we can still show them that we care and we are there for them. ___39___
Silence is polite
___40___ They may be radio broadcasts, news channels, stores and the constant chatter of people around us. So when we do get the chance to talk, we usually feel like we have to fill every thought into a short period of time. However, when we are silent we give others a chance to speak. We show them that they matter.
A. We can offer comfort by our calming silence.
B. The silence often leaves the other person puzzled.
C. To comfort them, you may tell them a similar painful situation.
D. Often the other person would quickly get the needed answer in silence.
E. Our facial expressions, eye contact, and even tone of voice speak the loudest.
F. We live in a society where we are fighting with so many sources of information.
G. All of a sudden, you pay attention and wonder why communication has stopped.
【答案】36. D 37. G 38. E 39. A 40. F
【解析】
【导语】本文是说明文。介绍了我们日常交流中尝试保持沉默的原因。
【36题详解】
根据上文“When we answer questions with silence, it is often very powerful indeed.(当我们用沉默回答问题时,它往往是非常有力的)”可知,上文提到用沉默回答问题,即对方从沉默中找到答案。故D选项“通常对方会在沉默中很快得到所需的答案”符合语境,故选D。
【37题详解】
根据上文“If you have ever been in a classroom, you have most likely experienced how silence often gets everyone’s attention. When the teacher stops talking, a signal goes to the brain that something has happened.(如果你曾经在教室里,你很有可能经历过沉默通常如何吸引每个人的注意力。当老师停止讲话时,大脑就会收到一个信号,表明发生了什么事)”可知,上文提到的老师停止讲话,这吸引了学生的注意力,由此推知,你很有可能集中精力想到底是什么导致老师停止了讲话。故G选项“突然间,你集中注意力,想知道为什么交流停止了”符合语境,故选G。
【38题详解】
根据上文“Often our body language is a more powerful way of communicating than what comes out of our mouth.(通常我们的肢体语言是一种比从我们嘴里说出来的东西更强大的交流方式)”以及后文“The ability to understand and use body language is a powerful tool that can help you connect with others, express what you really mean, and build better relationships.(理解和使用肢体语言的能力是一个强大的工具,可以帮助你与他人联系,表达你的真正意思,并建立更好的关系)”可知,本句承接上文举例说明肢体语言有哪些:面部表情,眼神交流,甚至是语调,故E选项“我们的面部表情,眼神交流,甚至是语调都是最响亮的声音”符合语境,故选E。
【39题详解】
根据上文“There are times in life when silence offers sympathy and understanding to others. Some- times we simply don’t have the right words to communicate to someone who is struggling with a hurtful or painful situation. But we can still show them that we care and we are there for them.(在生活中,有时沉默会给别人带来同情和理解。有时,我们只是没有正确的语言来与那些正在与伤害或痛苦的情况作斗争的人交流。但我们仍然可以告诉他们,我们关心他们,我们在他们身边)”可知,上文提到沉默会给别人带来同情和理解,本句为本段最后一句应说明沉默可以提供安慰。故A选项“我们可以通过平静的沉默来提供安慰”符合语境,故选A。
【40题详解】
根据后文“They may be radio broadcasts, news channels, stores and the constant chatter of people around us. So when we do get the chance to talk, we usually feel like we have to fill every thought into a short period of time. However, when we are silent we give others a chance to speak. We show them that they matter.(它们可能是无线电广播、新闻频道、商店和我们周围人的喋喋不休。所以当我们有机会交谈时,我们通常会觉得我们必须在短时间内把所有的想法都填满。然而,当我们沉默时,我们给了别人说话的机会。我们让他们知道他们很重要)”可知,后文提到了无线电广播、新闻频道、商店和我们周围人的喋喋不休,即各种信息的来源。故F选项“我们生活在一个与如此多的信息来源作斗争的社会”符合语境,故选F。

67. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。续写词数应为150左右。
Amy had been living with Mr and Mrs Acharya for over six months. They were a retired couple who had taken her in as a paying guest while she began her first year of engineering college in a new city. Despite being away from her own family for the first time ever, she felt at home with the Acharyas ’ warmth and kindness.
Mr Acharya, a retired engineer, had greatly supported Amy’s studies. He often reviewed her notes, offered advice and patiently explained difficult topics to her. His friendly nature and guidance made her educational journey smoother and more enjoyable.
However, today was different. It was Amy’s birthday, yet being so far away from her family made her feel very low. The care the Acharyas offered her was comforting, but she felt an emptiness only her beloved family members could fill on this special day. She sat quietly in the living room, where Mr Acharya was reading a book. And Mrs Acharya was busy in the kitchen. Amy didn’t mention that it was her birthday, for she didn’t want to trouble them. Instead, she just sighed softly, looking at the family photos on her phone.
Mrs Acharya looked at her knowingly from the kitchen but said nothing. She and her husband had actually marked this special date in their calendar months ago, when they first saw it on Amy’s college admission papers. They had been quietly planning a surprise for days.
During dinner, the elderly couple chatted about everyday matters as usual. The meal was delicious, with some of Amy’s favorite dishes which Mrs Acharya had specially prepared. Still, Amy couldn’t help but feel sad. She tried to focus on the conversation and enjoy the food, but her thoughts kept returning to her family. She kept checking her silent phone, wondering why her parents hadn’t called or sent messages to wish her a happy birthday. She thought about how, every year on her birthday, her mother cooked her favourite meal and her father took her on a lovely drive and treated her to her favourite strawberry ice cream.
After dinner, the Acharyas kindly invited Amy to the backyard.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
After the celebration, the Acharyas drove Amy to a nearby ice cream shop.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】例文
After dinner, the Acharyas kindly invited Amy to the backyard. Curious, Amy followed the couple. To her amazement, the garden was softly lit with fairy lights, and a small table was set with a beautiful cake and colorful balloons. “Happy birthday, Amy!” the couple cheered together, smiling warmly. “We know it can be really hard to be away from your family on special days, and we hope that this surprise can make you feel better,” added Mrs Acharya. Greatly touched, Amy hugged the couple tightly in tears and expressed her sincere thankfulness. At that heartfelt moment, Amy realized she had found a second home.
Paragraph 2:
After the celebration, the Acharyas drove Amy to a nearby ice cream shop. There, they treated Amy to her favourite strawberry ice cream. “Your father mentioned your birthday tradition,” they explained. Amy was deeply moved and felt more relaxed. As she sat down to enjoy the treat, Mrs Acharya handed her a phone. Unexpectedly, her family appeared on a video call, smiling and waving. Both families chatted warmly, sharing stories and laughter. Amy’s parents thanked the Acharyas for their kindness and consideration. That wonderful day made Amy understand that home isn’t just a place — it is where love and care follow you all around.
