Some students are tall and some are short. Some students are good at maths, while others love to draw or play music. These differences make each person unique. For example, Anna is very good at sports. She can run fast and play basketball really well, but her friend Lisa doesn’t like sports. Instead, Lisa loves reading books and writing stories. Even though they have different interests,Anna and Lisa are best friends. They support each other and enjoy learning from each other. In another example, John is very quiet. He doesn’t talk much in class, but he is an excellent artist. He can draw beautiful pictures that make his classmates smile. Even though John is shy, his friends appreciate his talent and always encourage him. These differences are what make the world interesting. If everyone were the same, life would be boring. By understanding and respecting each other’s differences, we can learn new things and become better friends. Everyone is unique in their own way and these differences should be celebrated. Respecting and appreciating each other makes the world a better place. 1．What is the main idea of the passage? A．Everyone has their own unique talent and interest. B．Everyone should be good at sports. C．Everyone should be quiet in class. D．Everyone should learn to draw. 2．Why are Anna and Lisa good friends? A．Because they both love playing sports. B．Because they both like reading books. C．Because they support each other even though they have different interests. D．Because they always do the same activities together. 3．What is Anna good at?

Do you like to tell others about your ideas, or do you just always listen to what others say? All human bodies work the same way, but everyone is different. Nobody looks, sounds or thinks just like you. You are different because of the way your genes (基因) and experiences make a difference to you as you grow up. The shape of your face, the color of your hair and many other things make you unique. Genes are instructions (指令) and they build your body and tell it how to work. Your genes decide many things. Those things make you different, like the color of your eyes or how tall you will be. Your genes come from your parents. Half come from your mother and half come from your father. Why do you look like your parents? It’s because you have the same genes. Genes don’t decide everything. They can affect (影响) how we act, but they don’t fully decide it. In other words, there is no gene for being bad, just as there is no gene for being kind. Genes do play a part in us, but it’s important to remember that many other things can affect us. For example, if we exercise a lot, our bodies will become strong. 1．How does the writer start the passage? A．By talking about a study. B．By telling a story.

A．What Makes You Different B．Why Family Is Important C．How to Be a Better Person Middle school is a big time of growth and change for young students. But they face lots of problems. Parents and teachers need to understand these problems to help kids. When moving from primary school to middle school, students see big changes. There are more teachers and subjects, and the courses are more difficult. As schools expect (期待) more, students may feel stressed (焦虑的) and tired. To deal with this, we should tell them to study in a balanced way. Care more about learning, not just grades, and take breaks often. Middle school students find it hard to get along with others. They want to make friends and stay with friends, but they also face too much pressure. Sometimes, kids make groups and leave others out. Treating (对待) others badly, both in school and online, is really bad. Also, when they become teenagers, they start to worry about their looks and how they feel about themselves. By talking about their feelings, being kind to others, and accepting themselves, they can solve these problems. Besides, many parents like to compare (对比) their children with others. They think this might be a good way to improve their children. However, things are different. If we do that too often, they may lose interest in study, or even give up themselves. To help them, we should care more about their own progress, celebrate their successes, and help them know that everyone is different. Middle school years are full of challenges. But with support from parents and teachers, students can get through them. By understanding and caring about these problems, we can help kids become confident and get ready for a good future. 1．What does the underlined word “this” in Paragraph 2 refer to? A．Parents’ care for study. B．The time in middle schools. C．The growth of young students. D．Students’ stress from changes. 2．How does the writer suggest (提议) ways to help students solve the problem? A．By telling students to talk, be kind and accept themselves. B．By suggesting students stop caring about looks. C．By advising students to give up activities. D．By asking students to join in more groups. 3．What might be the result if parents always compare their children with others? A．The children may try hard to make their parents happy. B．The children may start feeling bad about themselves. C．The children may become more confident. D．The children may know the importance of study. 4．Which is the right structure of the text? (①=Paragraph 1) A． B． C． D． 5．Which would be the best title for the text? A．How to Make Friends in Middle School B．Ways to Be Different C．Middle School: Problems and Help D．The Importance of Grades When you meet someone for the first time, what will you think of him or her? An American survey (调查) says that more than half of the people are in the good-looks club. You may ask, “What is a good-looks club?” Well, people in this club always put appearance first. That is to say, what a person looks like makes people think of others differently. People’s looks may affect (影响) their jobs. An Internet survey asks 2,000 young people about it. 30% of them say they can tell about someone’s work only by his or her clothes. 10% of them say they usually leave in the middle of the date (约会) because the people’s looks are not what they want. 50% of them say they will choose the one with good looks to be a new friend when they come to a new place. 80% of them believe that it is hard for the good-looking ones to live happily with the not-so-good ones. Parents and teachers always teach us not to know about people by their looks, but sometimes the first impression (印象) is very important. It can tell people your age and your job. Your habit is also in it. We can usually learn about someone from what he wears and what he says. So we must learn to wear right clothes at different time and places. Our appearance can help us open the door of what other people may think of us. However, when we finally get to know someone well, _______. That is to say, how we do things and our personalities (性格) are still the most important things that can help other people know us better. 1．What’s the meaning (意思) of the “appearance” in Paragraph Two? A．habit B．look C．personality D．clothes 2．The first impression can tell people_______. A．your age and job B．your clothes C．your habit D．both A and C 3．What can be put in the “_______” in the last paragraph? A．we will find the appearance not so important B．we will find the appearance very important C．we always talk about his or her appearance D．we always like his or her appearance a lot 4．What’s the main idea of the passage? A．How to get a good impression. B．No one is in the good- looks club. C．Appearance sometimes is important. D．People need to wear different clothes. 5．In which part of the newspaper can we read the passage? A．Art. B．Science. C．Life. D．Travel. 进阶拓展训练4篇 ①Today, people want to keep healthy through exercise. But some of their ideas are not right. ② “Meat is good food before you do exercise because it has much energy.” Wrong! You can have some food like potatoes, bread, bananas and so on. But meat is not good food before you do exercise, because the best food should have carbohydrate (碳水化合物). ③ “The best time to exercise is early in the morning.” Wrong! Everyone is different. Some people feel strong in the morning, but others feel tired. Do what fits YOU! Other times work too. You can also exercise in the afternoon or evening. Just keep moving! Don’t worry about “the best” time. The best time to exercise is when it works for you! ④ “You can’t drink water when you exercise because it makes you feel tired.” Wrong! When you exercise, you must have some water during breaks. And after exercising, you must have much water. If you don’t drink enough water, then you may feel tired. ⑤ “__________” Wrong! You need to give your body a day to have a break. Too much exercise is bad for your health. And remember, don’t exercise when you are very tired. 根据短文内容，选择最佳答案。 1．How many wrong ideas are there in the text? A．Two. B．Three. C．Four. D．Five. 2．What is the best food before people do exercise?

A． B． C． D． “I wish I had straight hair”, “I’d like to be taller”. At times, we all want to look a bit more like someone else. However, the pictures we see on TV and social media (社交媒体) can give us improper ideas about how our bodies “should” look. The truth is that everybody is different and that’s a good thing. Accepting and feeling good about our bodies is really important for our self-confidence (自信). Body confidence is when someone accepts and behaves kindly towards their body. That includes our size and shape, skin color, appearance and any physical disabilities. Jade Parnell from the Centre for Appearance Research (CAR), says that having body confidence is “about being accepting of your body and what it does for you”. If you feel positively (积极地) about your body, you are more likely to take care of it. Research has even shown that you are more likely to take part in activities and do well in school. However, feeling agitated about your body could make you step back, do less well at school and even feel down. Parnell says that the cost of trying to achieve the “perfect” appearance is high. She says, “If you’re spending a lot of time trying to look a certain way, you will have less time to spend with friends and to make important memories.” It’s important to remember that everybody is different. To develop a positive body image, Parnell says, “Try to talk positively about your own body and other people’s bodies. Try not to pay too much attention to appearance. Instead, think about what your body does for you; do your legs make you run really fast?” She also suggests treating your body well by eating different kinds of foods, exercising to feel good and to have fun, and getting plenty of sleep. Remember that you are more than how you look. 1．What does the writer think of the pictures on TV and social media? A．They are perfect for people to follow. B．They may give wrong ideas of looks. C．They show everyone is different. D．They show people how to behave kindly. 2．What does the underlined word “agitated” mean in Paragraph 3? A．Scared. B．Serious. C．Careless. D．Worried. 3．Which of the following will Parnell agree with? A．You should accept your body as it is. B．You should avoid talking about others’ bodies. C．You should spend more money on your appearance. D．You should remember what you used to be like. 4．According to Parnell, which of the following can not help us develop a positive body image? A．Talk positively about other people’s bodies. B．Don’t pay too much attention to appearance. C．Eat different kinds of foods as much as you like. D．Think about what your body does for you. 5．What is the main purpose (目的) of the passage? A．To encourage readers to take more exercise. B．To remind readers not to eat too much food. C．To lead readers to build up body confidence. D．To advise readers to treat their friends well. When I met and married (嫁给) a kind Japanese man. I thought he would learn a little more English and we would live in the US. But we ended up living in Tokyo! I needed to learn Japanese... and fast! You know, if you can’t speak the language, living in a foreign country can be very lonely (孤独的). When we moved back to the US later, I planned to keep teaching English as before. I took a job at a store that had a children’s playroom. However, this store had workers from many other countries. Oftentimes, a preschooler (学龄前儿童) in my playroom could not speak a word of English and would look so lost and lonely! My heart flew to them. We would play language games and they would teach their languages to me. Years later, a small girl from South America became fluent (流利的) in English. She said to me, “Teacher, remember when I called you Maestra (老师， 西班牙语)? At that time you showed me the most love. “Hearing these words, I was moved to tears. ★ . He spoke Russian at first. We built a robot from blocks (积木) and fed it “food”. He liked the game very much and learned English words quickly by playing. I’m so happy to help him fit into his new life in the US.

Understanding these differences can help us know each other better. I-people are introverts (内向的人). They feel more comfortable when they are alone or with just a few close friends. They often enjoy quiet activities like reading or thinking deeply. They like to listen carefully and think before speaking. E-people are extroverts (外向的人). They feel very excited and happy when they are with a lot of people ________ They like talking a lot to you even if they just know you for the first time. And they want to be the leaders (领导者) in group activities. They often feel bored when they are alone for too long. Last month, I invited my friends, Alex and Jamie, to my 15th birthday party. At the party, Alex loved to talk to everyone there. He felt happier and more excited after spending time with my family and friends. Jamie, however, didn’t agree to come. She told me she enjoyed staying at home and reading a book. She would feel tired and need some quiet time to feel better. Understanding these differences helps us know more about both kinds of people. Introverts bring thoughtful ideas and deeper talks to give us much advice about some important things, while extroverts bring us life and fun. Everyone is different, and that’s what makes friendships special. 1．What do the I-people think when they are with lots of people? A．Close. B．Excited. C．Quiet.

Sometimes many students have a hard time telling which is which. They have blonde hair, just like their dad does. They have green eyes, just like their mum does. They are around the same height too. Every workday morning they take the yellow school bus and sit together. They have a lot in common. Both girls enjoy the same TV shows. Both girls spend a lot of time together with their family, and they both like to play with their dog, Callie. But they are also very different. Maggie likes to play sports. Every Wednesday and Friday afternoon, she goes to the football club. Samantha doesn’t really like sports, but she likes to dance. When Maggie practises football in the club, she goes to the dancing lessons. Maggie likes to read history books, but Samantha likes books about animals. Maggie gets better grades in reading and Spanish, while Samantha gets better grades in maths and science. Though two people may come from the same family or look the same or have a lot in common, it doesn’t mean that they are all the same. Everyone is different in their own way.

My mother thought my hair was naturally beautiful, but my classmates didn’t agree. They made fun of it, calling my hair “the mop”(拖把). When I got to university, I decided to change my hairstyle. I had my curly (卷曲的) hair straightened (拉直). However, it cost me＄700 once every six months to do this. People said I was crazy to spend that much on my hair. But I would do anything to never again see that curly-haired girl in the mirror. But when I had to rent my own apartment, the cost became too high. So I turned to Google. In the end, I found a “curly haired” salon, a place designed for girls with crazy hair. When I arrived there, the stylist, Jacquai, was waiting for me. “Do you really think this will work?” I asked. “No curly hair is hopeless,” she replied. “You just haven’t found a way to work with it. That’s all.” After the hour was over, Jacquai had completed her task. She had fixed my hair using only her hands. I couldn’t believe it: my hair looked beautiful. Now my world has changed.

According to a new study in the online PloS One (《公共科学图书馆·综合》), people make their decisions to trust others largely based on their faces. Your appearance can do a lot for you, especially if you are in the financial industry (金融业). The more trustworthy (可靠的) you look, the more likely people will buy what you’re selling. Researchers from Britain’s University of Warwick Business School, University College London, and Dartmouth College, US, did a number of experiments. The research team used computer software to make 40 faces, from the least to the most trustworthy-looking. The study said that the difference between a trustworthy face and one that isn’t as trustworthy comes from features that look slightly (轻微地) angry or slightly happy, even when the face is at rest. However, a slightly happy face is more likely to be trusted. Researchers gave participants (参与者) some money and asked them which face they trusted to invest the money for them. Then researchers gave some good and bad information about the people with these faces, and asked the participants again whom they trusted. The results showed that even if they got different information, the participants didn’t change their choices. They were still more likely to invest their money with the more trustworthy-looking faces. Chris Olivola, one of the study’s authors, said in the University of Warwick’s press release: “It seems we are still willing to go with our own instincts (本能) about whether we think someone looks like we can trust them. The temptation (诱惑) to judge strangers by their faces is hard to resist (抵抗).” 1．What does the underlined phrase “based on” mean? A．建立 B．基于 C．展现 D．在……上 2．The research team used computer software to make________ faces. A．2 B．20 C．40 D．80 3．People tend to trust those with________. A．sad faces B．angry faces C．nervous faces D．happy faces 4．According to the research, people’s trust in strangers________. A．depends on faces and information B．only depends on faces C．only depends on information D．only depends on money 5．What does the passage mainly talk about? A．“Trust” strangers by their faces. B．Give strangers money. C．“Trust” strangers by their information. D．Don’t trust everyone. 12 同步新教材，周周有练习，月月有重点！ 13 同步新教材，周周有练习，月月有重点！ 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2025-2026学年一线教师制作新教材英语同步精品系列资料，名师遴选！ 2025-2026学年一线教师制作新教材英语同步精品系列资料，名师遴选！ 学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________ Unit 1 Everyone is different 单元话题阅读理解进阶练12篇 说明：此专题分三个难度层次，基础入门训练<进阶拓展训练< 能力综合实践，老师根据学生实际情况进行针对性难度训练。 基础入门训练4篇 Everyone is different in their own special way.In a classroom, you might see students who look, act, or think differently.

Do you like to tell others about your ideas, or do you just always listen to what others say? All human bodies work the same way, but everyone is different. Nobody looks, sounds or thinks just like you. You are different because of the way your genes (基因) and experiences make a difference to you as you grow up. The shape of your face, the color of your hair and many other things make you unique. Genes are instructions (指令) and they build your body and tell it how to work. Your genes decide many things. Those things make you different, like the color of your eyes or how tall you will be. Your genes come from your parents. Half come from your mother and half come from your father. Why do you look like your parents? It’s because you have the same genes. Genes don’t decide everything. They can affect (影响) how we act, but they don’t fully decide it. In other words, there is no gene for being bad, just as there is no gene for being kind. Genes do play a part in us, but it’s important to remember that many other things can affect us. For example, if we exercise a lot, our bodies will become strong. 1．How does the writer start the passage? A．By talking about a study. B．By telling a story.

Half come from your mother and half come from your father”可知，该段主要讲“我们的基因来自哪里”。故选B。 4．细节理解题。根据“Genes don’t decide everything…they don’t fully decide it. In other words, there is no gene for being bad, just as there is no gene for being kind”可知，基因不能决定一个人的品性。故选B。 5．最佳标题题。文章围绕“是什么让你与众不同”展开，介绍了基因和经历的作用，“What Makes You Different”最能概括主旨。故选A。 Middle school is a big time of growth and change for young students. But they face lots of problems. Parents and teachers need to understand these problems to help kids. When moving from primary school to middle school, students see big changes. There are more teachers and subjects, and the courses are more difficult. As schools expect (期待) more, students may feel stressed (焦虑的) and tired. To deal with this, we should tell them to study in a balanced way. Care more about learning, not just grades, and take breaks often. Middle school students find it hard to get along with others. They want to make friends and stay with friends, but they also face too much pressure. Sometimes, kids make groups and leave others out. Treating (对待) others badly, both in school and online, is really bad. Also, when they become teenagers, they start to worry about their looks and how they feel about themselves. By talking about their feelings, being kind to others, and accepting themselves, they can solve these problems. Besides, many parents like to compare (对比) their children with others. They think this might be a good way to improve their children. However, things are different. If we do that too often, they may lose interest in study, or even give up themselves. To help them, we should care more about their own progress, celebrate their successes, and help them know that everyone is different. Middle school years are full of challenges. But with support from parents and teachers, students can get through them. By understanding and caring about these problems, we can help kids become confident and get ready for a good future. 1．What does the underlined word “this” in Paragraph 2 refer to? A．Parents’ care for study. B．The time in middle schools. C．The growth of young students. D．Students’ stress from changes. 2．How does the writer suggest (提议) ways to help students solve the problem? A．By telling students to talk, be kind and accept themselves. B．By suggesting students stop caring about looks. C．By advising students to give up activities.

To deal with this, we should tell them to study in a balanced way.”可知，随着学校期望提高，学生可能感到焦虑和疲惫，为应对此，“this”指代前文的学生因变化产生的压力。故选D。 2．细节理解题。根据第三段“By talking about their feelings, being kind to others, and accepting themselves, they can solve these problems.”可知，作者建议通过谈论感受、善待他人和接纳自我来解决问题。故选A。 3．推理判断题。根据第四段“If we do that too often, they may lose interest in study, or even give up themselves.”可知，父母频繁比较可能导致孩子失去学习兴趣或自我放弃，即孩子可能对自己产生负面感受。故选B。 4．篇章结构题。文章第一段总述中学生面临的问题，第二至四段分别从学业压力、社交与自我认同、父母比较三方面分述，第五段总结。因此结构为“总-分-总”。故选A。 5．最佳标题题。文章围绕中学生面临的问题及解决方法展开，选项C“Middle School: Problems and Help”最全面概括主题。故选C。 When you meet someone for the first time, what will you think of him or her? An American survey (调查) says that more than half of the people are in the good-looks club. You may ask, “What is a good-looks club?” Well, people in this club always put appearance first. That is to say, what a person looks like makes people think of others differently. People’s looks may affect (影响) their jobs. An Internet survey asks 2,000 young people about it. 30% of them say they can tell about someone’s work only by his or her clothes. 10% of them say they usually leave in the middle of the date (约会) because the people’s looks are not what they want. 50% of them say they will choose the one with good looks to be a new friend when they come to a new place. 80% of them believe that it is hard for the good-looking ones to live happily with the not-so-good ones. Parents and teachers always teach us not to know about people by their looks, but sometimes the first impression (印象) is very important. It can tell people your age and your job. Your habit is also in it. We can usually learn about someone from what he wears and what he says. So we must learn to wear right clothes at different time and places. Our appearance can help us open the door of what other people may think of us. However, when we finally get to know someone well, _______. That is to say, how we do things and our personalities (性格) are still the most important things that can help other people know us better. 1．What’s the meaning (意思) of the “appearance” in Paragraph Two? A．habit B．look C．personality D．clothes 2．The first impression can tell people_______. A．your age and job B．your clothes C．your habit D．both A and C 3．What can be put in the “_______” in the last paragraph?

A．How to get a good impression. B．No one is in the good- looks club. C．Appearance sometimes is important. D．People need to wear different clothes. 5．In which part of the newspaper can we read the passage? A．Art. B．Science. C．Life. D．Travel. 【答案】1．B 2．D 3．A 4．C 5．C 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要围绕外貌在人际交往中的作用展开，指出外貌会影响他人对自己的第一印象，不过当深入了解他人后，做事的方式和性格才是帮助他人更好了解自己的更重要因素。 1．词句猜测题。根据“That is to say, what a person looks like makes people think of others differently. People’s looks may affect their jobs.”可知一个人的外貌会让人们产生不同的看法，人们的外貌可能影响他们的工作，所以猜测此处是说把“外貌”放在首位，故选B。 2．细节理解题。根据“sometimes the first impression is very important. It can tell people your age and your job. Your habit is also in it.”可知第一印象能告诉人们年龄、工作和习惯，故选D。 3．推理判断题。根据“when we finally get to know someone well”和“That is to say, how we do things and our personalities are still the most important things that can help other people know us better.”可知做事的方式和性格才是帮助他人更好了解自己的更重要因素，所以推断此处应是说当深入了解后，外貌就不是别人了解自己的重要方式了，故选A。 4．主旨大意题。根据“People’s looks may affect their jobs”和全文可知本文主要介绍了有时候外貌是重要的，故选C。 5．推理判断题。根据文章可知本文主要介绍了外貌的重要性，所以推断我们能在报纸的生活部分看到这篇文章，故选C。 进阶拓展训练4篇 ①Today, people want to keep healthy through exercise. But some of their ideas are not right. ② “Meat is good food before you do exercise because it has much energy.” Wrong! You can have some food like potatoes, bread, bananas and so on.

At times, we all want to look a bit more like someone else. However, the pictures we see on TV and social media (社交媒体) can give us improper ideas about how our bodies “should” look. The truth is that everybody is different and that’s a good thing. Accepting and feeling good about our bodies is really important for our self-confidence (自信). Body confidence is when someone accepts and behaves kindly towards their body. That includes our size and shape, skin color, appearance and any physical disabilities. Jade Parnell from the Centre for Appearance Research (CAR), says that having body confidence is “about being accepting of your body and what it does for you”. If you feel positively (积极地) about your body, you are more likely to take care of it. Research has even shown that you are more likely to take part in activities and do well in school. However, feeling agitated about your body could make you step back, do less well at school and even feel down. Parnell says that the cost of trying to achieve the “perfect” appearance is high. She says, “If you’re spending a lot of time trying to look a certain way, you will have less time to spend with friends and to make important memories.” It’s important to remember that everybody is different. To develop a positive body image, Parnell says, “Try to talk positively about your own body and other people’s bodies. Try not to pay too much attention to appearance. Instead, think about what your body does for you; do your legs make you run really fast?” She also suggests treating your body well by eating different kinds of foods, exercising to feel good and to have fun, and getting plenty of sleep. Remember that you are more than how you look. 1．What does the writer think of the pictures on TV and social media? A．They are perfect for people to follow. B．They may give wrong ideas of looks. C．They show everyone is different. D．They show people how to behave kindly. 2．What does the underlined word “agitated” mean in Paragraph 3? A．Scared. B．Serious. C．Careless. D．Worried. 3．Which of the following will Parnell agree with? A．You should accept your body as it is. B．You should avoid talking about others’ bodies. C．You should spend more money on your appearance. D．You should remember what you used to be like. 4．According to Parnell, which of the following can not help us develop a positive body image? A．Talk positively about other people’s bodies. B．Don’t pay too much attention to appearance. C．Eat different kinds of foods as much as you like. D．Think about what your body does for you. 5．What is the main purpose (目的) of the passage? A．To encourage readers to take more exercise. B．To remind readers not to eat too much food. C．To lead readers to build up body confidence. D．To advise readers to treat their friends well. 【答案】1．B 2．D 3．A 4．C 5．C 【导语】本文讲述了身体自信的重要性以及如何培养积极的身体形象。 1．细节理解题。根据“However, the pictures we see on TV and social media (社交媒体) can give us improper ideas about how our bodies ‘should’ look.”可知我们在电视和社交媒体上看到的图片可能会让我们对自己的身体“应该”看起来如何产生不恰当的想法。故选B。 2．词句猜测题。根据“However, feeling agitated about your body could make you step back, do less well at school and even feel down.”可知对自己的身体感到焦虑可能会让你后退，在学校表现不佳，甚至感到沮丧。因此意思是“感到焦虑”，故选D。 3．细节理解题。根据“Jade Parnell from the Centre for Appearance Research (CAR), says that having body confidence is ‘about being accepting of your body and what it does for you’.”可知你应该接受你的身体本来的样子。故选A。 4．细节理解题。根据“Try to talk positively about your own body and other people’s bodies. Try not to pay too much attention to appearance. Instead, think about what your body does for you”以及“She also suggests treating your body well by eating different kinds of foods”可知是通过吃不同种类的食物来改善身体，而不是想吃多少种食物就吃多少。故选C。 5．主旨大意题。本文讲述了身体自信的重要性以及如何培养积极的身体形象。故选C。 When I met and married (嫁给) a kind Japanese man. I thought he would learn a little more English and we would live in the US. But we ended up living in Tokyo! I needed to learn Japanese... and fast!

Understanding these differences can help us know each other better. I-people are introverts (内向的人). They feel more comfortable when they are alone or with just a few close friends. They often enjoy quiet activities like reading or thinking deeply. They like to listen carefully and think before speaking. E-people are extroverts (外向的人). They feel very excited and happy when they are with a lot of people ________ They like talking a lot to you even if they just know you for the first time. And they want to be the leaders (领导者) in group activities. They often feel bored when they are alone for too long. Last month, I invited my friends, Alex and Jamie, to my 15th birthday party. At the party, Alex loved to talk to everyone there. He felt happier and more excited after spending time with my family and friends. Jamie, however, didn’t agree to come. She told me she enjoyed staying at home and reading a book. She would feel tired and need some quiet time to feel better. Understanding these differences helps us know more about both kinds of people. Introverts bring thoughtful ideas and deeper talks to give us much advice about some important things, while extroverts bring us life and fun. Everyone is different, and that’s what makes friendships special. 1．What do the I-people think when they are with lots of people? A．Close. B．Excited. C．Quiet.

They feel more comfortable when they are alone or with just a few close friends.”可知，内向者在独处或和少数亲密朋友在一起时更舒服，由此可推断他们和很多人在一起时会觉得不舒服。故选D。 2．推理判断题。根据“E-people are extroverts. They feel very excited and happy when they are with a lot of people”以及“They like talking a lot to you even if they just know you for the first time.”可知，此处应是介绍外向者喜欢和不同的人打交道的特点。故选A。 3．细节理解题。根据“Jamie, however, didn’t agree to come.

My mother thought my hair was naturally beautiful, but my classmates didn’t agree. They made fun of it, calling my hair “the mop”(拖把). When I got to university, I decided to change my hairstyle. I had my curly (卷曲的) hair straightened (拉直). However, it cost me＄700 once every six months to do this. People said I was crazy to spend that much on my hair. But I would do anything to never again see that curly-haired girl in the mirror. But when I had to rent my own apartment, the cost became too high. So I turned to Google. In the end, I found a “curly haired” salon, a place designed for girls with crazy hair. When I arrived there, the stylist, Jacquai, was waiting for me. “Do you really think this will work?” I asked. “No curly hair is hopeless,” she replied. “You just haven’t found a way to work with it. That’s all.” After the hour was over, Jacquai had completed her task. She had fixed my hair using only her hands. I couldn’t believe it: my hair looked beautiful. Now my world has changed. I am more outgoing and confident than ever. People say that I’m looking better than ever but that they don’t know what has changed. Hair is not just hair. I don’t need to tell them my hair speaks for itself. 1．How often did the writer straighten her hair? A．Once a month. B．Every six months. C．Every six weeks.

According to a new study in the online PloS One (《公共科学图书馆·综合》), people make their decisions to trust others largely based on their faces. Your appearance can do a lot for you, especially if you are in the financial industry (金融业). The more trustworthy (可靠的) you look, the more likely people will buy what you’re selling. Researchers from Britain’s University of Warwick Business School, University College London, and Dartmouth College, US, did a number of experiments. The research team used computer software to make 40 faces, from the least to the most trustworthy-looking. The study said that the difference between a trustworthy face and one that isn’t as trustworthy comes from features that look slightly (轻微地) angry or slightly happy, even when the face is at rest. However, a slightly happy face is more likely to be trusted. Researchers gave participants (参与者) some money and asked them which face they trusted to invest the money for them. Then researchers gave some good and bad information about the people with these faces, and asked the participants again whom they trusted. The results showed that even if they got different information, the participants didn’t change their choices. They were still more likely to invest their money with the more trustworthy-looking faces. Chris Olivola, one of the study’s authors, said in the University of Warwick’s press release: “It seems we are still willing to go with our own instincts (本能) about whether we think someone looks like we can trust them. The temptation (诱惑) to judge strangers by their faces is hard to resist (抵抗).” 1．What does the underlined phrase “based on” mean? A．建立 B．基于 C．展现 D．在……上 2．The research team used computer software to make________ faces. A．2 B．20 C．40 D．80 3．People tend to trust those with________. A．sad faces B．angry faces C．nervous faces D．happy faces 4．According to the research, people’s trust in strangers________. A．depends on faces and information B．only depends on faces C．only depends on information D．only depends on money 5．What does the passage mainly talk about? A．“Trust” strangers by their faces. B．Give strangers money. C．“Trust” strangers by their information. D．Don’t trust everyone. 【答案】1．B 2．C 3．D 4．B 5．A 【导语】本篇是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一项研究，表明人们做出信任他人的决定很大程度上是基于他们的脸。 1．词义猜测题。根据“The more trustworthy you look, the more likely people will buy what you’re selling.”可知，如果长得很可靠，人们就会信任他，说明人们对他人的信任是基于对方的脸，因此划线短语意为“基于”。故选B。 2．细节理解题。根据“The research team used computer software to make 40 faces ...”可知，研究小组使用计算机软件制作了40张面孔。故选C。 3．细节理解题。根据“However, a slightly happy face is more likely to be trusted.”可知，微笑的脸更容易被信任。故选D。 4．推理判断题。根据“The results showed that even if they got different information, the participants didn’t change their choices. They were still more likely to invest their money with the more trustworthy-looking faces.”可知，即使有信息，人们也不看，只看脸给钱，因此可推断人们对陌生人的信任只取决于对方的脸。故选B。 5．主旨大意题。本文通过第一段的问题引出文章的主题，人们一般怎么从陌生人中选出值得信任的那一个，文章讲述了一项相关研究，得出人们对他人的信任取决于对方的脸长得是否值得信任。故选A。 18 同步新教材，周周有练习，月月有重点！ 19 同步新教材，周周有练习，月月有重点！ 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
