①Do you often hear birdsong outside the window? How do you feel when you hear it? In fact, it is shown that birdsong can influence people’s life.
②Birdsong sounds especially nice in winter because it reminds people of spring. A study found that listening to birdsong for six minutes can help cut down people’s stress. It’s hard to feel sad when you hear birds singing or talking, as the energy in their songs makes people feel like walking in the garden. Different from music, which can sometimes make you produce strong feelings, birdsong can usually make you calm and peaceful.
③Another influence is that birdsong can help people improve focus (专注) . It can help people focus on their tasks and work faster. That’s because when people play birdsong in the background at work, it helps to build a “wall” to help them stay away from the unpleasant noise outside. In this way, birdsong can be a powerful tool to improve at work.
④Carrie Tom, a doctor in North Carolina, has also found that birdsong makes it easier to help people enter a deep sleep. Birdsong, as a kind of white noise, can slow down people’s heartbeats and breath. After listening to birdsong for a long time, a conditioned response (条件反射) is developed in their brains. So birdsong becomes a sign of entering sleep, which helps them fall asleep faster than before and improve their sleep quality (质量).
⑤Birdsong, a gift from nature, connects people with calmer, more natural settings and makes people feel happier and healthier. So, next time you hear a bird singing, spend a moment to enjoy its beautiful melody (旋律) and let it bring a little joy to your day!

48.According to the text, birdsong is helpful to the people who ________.

C.like loud and electronic music D.can focus on tasks easily
49.What’s the writer’s main purpose of writing the text?

B.To discuss the scientific studies on birdsong.
C.To explain how birdsong improve people’s health.
D.To encourage people to enjoy birdsong more often.
D
I live in a big city. Every day, the streets are noisy with the activity of millions of souls, each of them living in their own way. It seems that people from every corner of the planet live here. And every single person has their own unique story.
However, people here can often feel quite lonely. It’s a strange contradiction —you’re surrounded (围绕) by other people at every moment, but you still feel like you’re the only person on the planet. You can walk through a crowd and feel like you’re floating alone in space. Even the busiest shopping mall can feel like a foreign planet.
Have you ever felt like this? It’s not an unusual feeling. Living in crowded urban areas can often make people feel this way. There are many ways to deal with this feeling—but perhaps the best way is to rely on your friends.
When I’m feeling lonely or sad, the first thing I do is pick up my phone and text a friend. All of us are busy with work and personal matters, but my closest friends always take the time to reply. In a world where feelings of loneliness can come so easily, friends are the best antidote (解药) to these feelings. I’ve got through some of the hardest times in my life with the help of my friends. Take time to nurture (培养) your own friendships. You never know when you will need someone to lift you up.
50.What problem is discussed in the story?
A.Noise in big cities. B.Traffic in big cities.
C.The difficulty of making friends. D.The loneliness of living in cities.
51.The underlined word “contradiction” in Paragraph 2 can be replaced by ________.
A.reply B.mistake C.mismatch D.collection
52.According to the author, the best way to deal with loneliness is to ________.
A.communicate with friends B.go to parties C.find the best antidote D.go shopping
53.What do we know from the story?
A.Loneliness harms our health. B.Friends cannot always help us.
C.Friendship is important. D.People in cities rarely feel lonely.
54.In which section of a newspaper might you find this story?
A.Health. B.Culture. C.Science. D.Story.
E
Do you sometimes feel different, alone or left out? Maybe yes. Recently scientists have done a survey about “being alone” among people aged from 3 to 60. It shows that teenagers have great needs to feel like they belong to a group. Simply having to eat alone in the dining hall is enough to make them feel upset. They are afraid of being called a “loner”.
But being a loner doesn’t always mean being strange or disliked. Actually, it has become a lifestyle in many countries among young people who consider being alone to be an everyday part of life.
In the Republic of Korea, there are a growing number of people who describe themselves as “honjok”. The word comes from “hon”: (alone) and “jok” (tribe). These people eat alone, travel alone, and enjoy being by themselves.
In Japan, people have developed a strong loner culture over the years. There are solo (单独的) karaoke bars and solo cafes. Ramen restaurants for solo diners are especially popular. Clapboards (隔板) separate each seat.
Diners can’t see the faces of other customers or waiters. But knowing that there are other solo diners there may make you feel better. But more importantly, you can try to find strength in your aloneness.
Aloneness gives you time to look inside yourself or think about something without distraction (干扰). “It’s hard to feel lonely when you’re trying to develop a new skill, practice a hobby or try to find out a new cooking recipe,” wrote US lifestyle writer Adrienne Breaux.
So when you are alone next time, instead of finding someone to talk to or hang out with, you may want to try to have fun on your own. You can start by walking in a park or visiting a museum alone. It may seem strange and boring at first. But be patient. Give it time. You may finally find the beauty in being alone.
55.Who might be more afraid of being alone?
A.A 3-year-old baby. B.A 15-year-old teenager.
C.A 35-year-old mother. D.A 70-year-old man.
56.Which of the following is TRUE?
A.Strange people are all loners.
B.There aren’t solo karaoke bars in the Republic of Korea.
C.Aloneness may help people feel strong.
D.People in the Republic of Korea developed a strong loner culture.
57.If a solo diner sees other solo diners at Ramen restaurants, he might feel ________.
A.sadder B.more excited C.more nervous D.better
58.What can aloneness bring according to Adrienne Breaux?
A.It makes people feel lonely all the time.
B.It gives people time to develop skills or practice hobbies without distraction.
C.It stops people from finding new cooking recipes.
D.It makes people want to hang out with others.
59.What is the main idea of the passage?
A.Being alone can be a good lifestyle and people may find its beauty.
B.Being a loner is always strange and disliked.
C.Teenagers should never be loners.
D.Japanese people don’t like solo culture.
F
Imagine sitting next to a stranger, both of you laughing at a funny video or feeling sad while watching something emotional (有感染力的). Could that moment make you feel more connected to him or her? According to a recent study, it might! Researchers found that sharing experiences with strong emotions can help people feel connected, especially when they can see each other.
In the study, scientists wanted to see how people feel when they watch emotional videos together. They asked people who didn’t know each other to sit side by side and watch videos. The people sat 60 centimeters apart and looked at the same screen. They watched three different videos. One was funny, one was sad (a video about animals kept in small cages), and one was normal (a video of a library). In some pairs, the people could see each other, but in others, a curtain (帘子) was between them.
Before the videos, the people were asked how they felt and what they thought of the person sitting next to them. While watching, the scientists checked their heartbeats, breathing, and skin to see how strong their feelings were. After watching all three videos, the people answered more questions about their emotions and how they felt about their partner.
The study found something interesting. The funny and sad videos made people feel more than the library one. People who could see each other felt even stronger emotions. Most of all, the study showed that people felt more connected after watching emotional videos together—but only when they could see each other. This means sharing strong feelings, like laughing or feeling sad, can help people feel closer. It works even if they don’t know each other.
So next time you see a funny or touching video, share it with someone. You might feel a little closer—or even make a new friend!

C.How the researchers carried out the study.
D.What the researchers need to study more.

阅读短文,从所给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。
In your life, sometimes you may be asked to speak in front of a large group of people. Although it sounds a little scary, even those with stage fright can speak successfully to the group with adequate preparation.
Practice your speech before the big day. 64 If possible, practice the speech in front of a friend or family member to get used to saying it to real people. If you feel you must have note cards, limit the amount to about three cards. This will force you to keep your speech brief and help you keep your eyes focused on your audience.
Remember why you’ve been invited to speak. If you’re battling fear over speaking to a large group of people, keep your mind on the fact that you were selected for this important role. The speech organizers must have something valuable in you or your expertise. 65
Remember that fear of public speaking is very common. 66 Most of the people in the audience would be feeling the same fear and stress that you do in your position. Knowing this may make you feel better.
67 What you say should be tailored (专门的) to why you’re there and who you’re speaking to in order to avoid sounding general. If speaking to a charity group, mention the good work certain specific individuals have done for the cause. If speaking at a business conference, briefly state why you want to help these people.
Keep eye contact with the crowd. 68 Pick one person in each part and look at him while you’re speaking. After each important point in your speech, switch your focus to another part. When you focus only on one person at a time, the size of the crowd isn’t as frightening.
A.A good memory is really helpful.
B.Show appreciation to your audience.
C.Mention your audience in your speech.
D.The more you have it memorized the better.
E.In fact, it’s normal to feel awkward or stressed out before a big speech.
F.Separate the crowd into three parts mentally as you get up to speak.
G.The knowledge of other people’s respect for you should reduce some of the fear.
四、选词填空
根据语篇内容,从方框中选择恰当的单词,并用其正确形式填空。将单词填写在答题卡对应的横线上。每个单词只能用一次。
public stay him for listen second good how problem noticed
Last weekend, my friends and I got together to eat delicious Asian chicken wings. We hadn’t seen each other 69 long, so it was nice to catch up (叙旧) and share our summer plans with each other.
This kind of catch-up doesn’t allow for deep conversations, especially if someone doesn’t feel comfortable sharing personal troubles in 70 . After the dinner, I 71 that my friend George didn’t plan to go as if he wanted, or needed, our company (陪伴) at that time.
George said his 72 year in college was really a mess. So I asked 73 about his experiences. The gates of emotions (情感) were opened, and he shared with us all the 74 he met in that year.
My other friends were ready to leave, but I asked if we could 75 with George for a while. We did and spent another 30 minutes 76 to his stories.
Later that night, George sent both of us a message to show 77 thankful he was that we spent time with him and lent an ear. This experience showed me that listening and caring may sometimes be the 78 gift of all. Being there and lending an ear can truly make someone happy.

It’s very important to know yourself. It’s helpful to choose your own jobs in the future. Everyone goes through changes in their mind and body during adolescence (青春期). If you know yourself, you’ll deal with different kinds of stress more easily and you’ll be more successful as well. Although (尽管) adolescence is difficult, it’ll be much easier if you try to manage (管理) your feelings better. Here are a few skills for you to deal with your feelings.
Know about your feelings. What feelings are you experiencing? For example, are you sad, stressed, angry, joyful or excited? You must know your own feelings now.
Accept your feelings. Many people don’t want others to know their feelings. They always hide their true feelings. They think these feelings will go away over time. But they aren’t right. Remind yourself that it’s OK to feel your feelings.
Be familiar (熟悉的) with your feelings. How to understand your own feelings better? You can record how you’re feeling in the morning, afternoon and at night on a notebook. And you should also write down the changes in your body at different times.
Express your feelings. Expressing your feelings in the right way is one of the best ways to make them vanish. You can cry, exercise, go shopping or talk to someone you trust. But no matter how you express your feelings, you can’t hurt yourself or others.
In your life, you may experience many different feelings. But as long as you deal with these feelings in the right way, you’ll be able to live comfortably.

①Do you often hear birdsong outside the window? How do you feel when you hear it? In fact, it is shown that birdsong can influence people’s life.
②Birdsong sounds especially nice in winter because it reminds people of spring. A study found that listening to birdsong for six minutes can help cut down people’s stress. It’s hard to feel sad when you hear birds singing or talking, as the energy in their songs makes people feel like walking in the garden. Different from music, which can sometimes make you produce strong feelings, birdsong can usually make you calm and peaceful.
③Another influence is that birdsong can help people improve focus (专注) . It can help people focus on their tasks and work faster. That’s because when people play birdsong in the background at work, it helps to build a “wall” to help them stay away from the unpleasant noise outside. In this way, birdsong can be a powerful tool to improve at work.
④Carrie Tom, a doctor in North Carolina, has also found that birdsong makes it easier to help people enter a deep sleep. Birdsong, as a kind of white noise, can slow down people’s heartbeats and breath. After listening to birdsong for a long time, a conditioned response (条件反射) is developed in their brains. So birdsong becomes a sign of entering sleep, which helps them fall asleep faster than before and improve their sleep quality (质量).
⑤Birdsong, a gift from nature, connects people with calmer, more natural settings and makes people feel happier and healthier. So, next time you hear a bird singing, spend a moment to enjoy its beautiful melody (旋律) and let it bring a little joy to your day!

I live in a big city. Every day, the streets are noisy with the activity of millions of souls, each of them living in their own way. It seems that people from every corner of the planet live here. And every single person has their own unique story.
However, people here can often feel quite lonely. It’s a strange contradiction —you’re surrounded (围绕) by other people at every moment, but you still feel like you’re the only person on the planet. You can walk through a crowd and feel like you’re floating alone in space. Even the busiest shopping mall can feel like a foreign planet.
Have you ever felt like this? It’s not an unusual feeling. Living in crowded urban areas can often make people feel this way. There are many ways to deal with this feeling—but perhaps the best way is to rely on your friends.
When I’m feeling lonely or sad, the first thing I do is pick up my phone and text a friend. All of us are busy with work and personal matters, but my closest friends always take the time to reply. In a world where feelings of loneliness can come so easily, friends are the best antidote (解药) to these feelings. I’ve got through some of the hardest times in my life with the help of my friends. Take time to nurture (培养) your own friendships. You never know when you will need someone to lift you up.
50.What problem is discussed in the story?
A.Noise in big cities. B.Traffic in big cities.
C.The difficulty of making friends. D.The loneliness of living in cities.
51.The underlined word “contradiction” in Paragraph 2 can be replaced by ________.

A.Health. B.Culture. C.Science. D.Story.

Do you sometimes feel different, alone or left out? Maybe yes. Recently scientists have done a survey about “being alone” among people aged from 3 to 60. It shows that teenagers have great needs to feel like they belong to a group. Simply having to eat alone in the dining hall is enough to make them feel upset. They are afraid of being called a “loner”.
But being a loner doesn’t always mean being strange or disliked. Actually, it has become a lifestyle in many countries among young people who consider being alone to be an everyday part of life.
In the Republic of Korea, there are a growing number of people who describe themselves as “honjok”. The word comes from “hon”: (alone) and “jok” (tribe). These people eat alone, travel alone, and enjoy being by themselves.
In Japan, people have developed a strong loner culture over the years. There are solo (单独的) karaoke bars and solo cafes. Ramen restaurants for solo diners are especially popular. Clapboards (隔板) separate each seat.
Diners can’t see the faces of other customers or waiters. But knowing that there are other solo diners there may make you feel better. But more importantly, you can try to find strength in your aloneness.
Aloneness gives you time to look inside yourself or think about something without distraction (干扰). “It’s hard to feel lonely when you’re trying to develop a new skill, practice a hobby or try to find out a new cooking recipe,” wrote US lifestyle writer Adrienne Breaux.
So when you are alone next time, instead of finding someone to talk to or hang out with, you may want to try to have fun on your own. You can start by walking in a park or visiting a museum alone. It may seem strange and boring at first. But be patient. Give it time. You may finally find the beauty in being alone.
55.Who might be more afraid of being alone?
A.A 3-year-old baby. B.A 15-year-old teenager.
C.A 35-year-old mother. D.A 70-year-old man.
56.Which of the following is TRUE?
A.Strange people are all loners.
B.There aren’t solo karaoke bars in the Republic of Korea.
C.Aloneness may help people feel strong.
D.People in the Republic of Korea developed a strong loner culture.
57.If a solo diner sees other solo diners at Ramen restaurants, he might feel ________.
A.sadder B.more excited C.more nervous D.better
58.What can aloneness bring according to Adrienne Breaux?
A.It makes people feel lonely all the time.
B.It gives people time to develop skills or practice hobbies without distraction.
C.It stops people from finding new cooking recipes.
D.It makes people want to hang out with others.
59.What is the main idea of the passage?
A.Being alone can be a good lifestyle and people may find its beauty.
B.Being a loner is always strange and disliked.
C.Teenagers should never be loners.
D.Japanese people don’t like solo culture.

Imagine sitting next to a stranger, both of you laughing at a funny video or feeling sad while watching something emotional (有感染力的). Could that moment make you feel more connected to him or her? According to a recent study, it might! Researchers found that sharing experiences with strong emotions can help people feel connected, especially when they can see each other.
In the study, scientists wanted to see how people feel when they watch emotional videos together. They asked people who didn’t know each other to sit side by side and watch videos. The people sat 60 centimeters apart and looked at the same screen. They watched three different videos. One was funny, one was sad (a video about animals kept in small cages), and one was normal (a video of a library). In some pairs, the people could see each other, but in others, a curtain (帘子) was between them.
Before the videos, the people were asked how they felt and what they thought of the person sitting next to them. While watching, the scientists checked their heartbeats, breathing, and skin to see how strong their feelings were. After watching all three videos, the people answered more questions about their emotions and how they felt about their partner.
The study found something interesting. The funny and sad videos made people feel more than the library one. People who could see each other felt even stronger emotions. Most of all, the study showed that people felt more connected after watching emotional videos together—but only when they could see each other. This means sharing strong feelings, like laughing or feeling sad, can help people feel closer. It works even if they don’t know each other.
So next time you see a funny or touching video, share it with someone. You might feel a little closer—or even make a new friend!

阅读短文,从所给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。
In your life, sometimes you may be asked to speak in front of a large group of people. Although it sounds a little scary, even those with stage fright can speak successfully to the group with adequate preparation.
Practice your speech before the big day. 64 If possible, practice the speech in front of a friend or family member to get used to saying it to real people. If you feel you must have note cards, limit the amount to about three cards. This will force you to keep your speech brief and help you keep your eyes focused on your audience.
Remember why you’ve been invited to speak. If you’re battling fear over speaking to a large group of people, keep your mind on the fact that you were selected for this important role. The speech organizers must have something valuable in you or your expertise. 65
Remember that fear of public speaking is very common. 66 Most of the people in the audience would be feeling the same fear and stress that you do in your position. Knowing this may make you feel better.
67 What you say should be tailored (专门的) to why you’re there and who you’re speaking to in order to avoid sounding general. If speaking to a charity group, mention the good work certain specific individuals have done for the cause. If speaking at a business conference, briefly state why you want to help these people.
Keep eye contact with the crowd. 68 Pick one person in each part and look at him while you’re speaking. After each important point in your speech, switch your focus to another part. When you focus only on one person at a time, the size of the crowd isn’t as frightening.
A.A good memory is really helpful.
B.Show appreciation to your audience.
C.Mention your audience in your speech.
D.The more you have it memorized the better.
E.In fact, it’s normal to feel awkward or stressed out before a big speech.
F.Separate the crowd into three parts mentally as you get up to speak.
G.The knowledge of other people’s respect for you should reduce some of the fear.

Last weekend, my friends and I got together to eat delicious Asian chicken wings. We hadn’t seen each other 69 long, so it was nice to catch up (叙旧) and share our summer plans with each other.
This kind of catch-up doesn’t allow for deep conversations, especially if someone doesn’t feel comfortable sharing personal troubles in 70 . After the dinner, I 71 that my friend George didn’t plan to go as if he wanted, or needed, our company (陪伴) at that time.
George said his 72 year in college was really a mess. So I asked 73 about his experiences. The gates of emotions (情感) were opened, and he shared with us all the 74 he met in that year.
My other friends were ready to leave, but I asked if we could 75 with George for a while. We did and spent another 30 minutes 76 to his stories.
Later that night, George sent both of us a message to show 77 thankful he was that we spent time with him and lent an ear. This experience showed me that listening and caring may sometimes be the 78 gift of all. Being there and lending an ear can truly make someone happy.

Life is full 79 beautiful moments. All you have to do is to open your eyes and your heart to see them.

My eyes watered a bit as I watched this scene. I remembered all the times when my own children ran into my arms with smiling 84 (face). Every single hug from them was 85 treasure of joy.
Suddenly, my memory was interrupted when I heard the car’s horn (喇叭) behind me. I saw the school bus quickly pulling away, and started to follow it again. However, this time I did so with a fuller heart than ever before. I took that beautiful moment and stored it safely in 86 (I) mind, where I knew it would remain forever.
One day, we all will leave this school of learning and love, and 87 (final) get to go home again. So 88 (enjoy) your days here at school. Love and learn. But know that one day you will be going home where the hugs are eternal (永久的) and the love never ends.
