The other day, my friend Sara was telling me about a relationship with her colleague that was broken beyond repair. The two of them had been close. And then one day, Sara had, with the best intentions, done something that her colleague had completely misunderstood and had taken offense at.
Things became worse. Sara didn’t know what to say or do. She didn’t know how to repair the relationship. She began to get angry at her colleague for misunderstanding her and judging her. She felt justified in her anger. The two of them still were not really speaking and certainly weren’t working together. The team, and their output, were suffering.
It was time to do something to rectify the situation. I asked Sara what she needed. After much thought, she told me that she needed her colleague to be willing to listen to her with an open mind, to at least consider that she hadn’t meant any harm by what she’d done and to apologize for taking things so seriously and making things so bad.
“Ah…” I said to her. “You want an apology.” I then asked her, “What do you think your colleague might want?” I asked.
She didn’t answer.
“Did you ever apologize?” I asked her. She shook her head no. “Do you think you might want to apologize?” I asked her. She shrugged her shoulders… then shook her head yes.
Sometimes we take so long to apologize. We justify our unwillingness, saying it won’t really make a difference. Or they should apologize first. Or we didn’t mean any harm and they misunderstood us. But I’ve found that an apology—a true, heartfelt apology—can work wonders. It can repair the unrepairable. It can fix just about anything.
4. What happened between Sara and her colleague?
A. They decided to quit the job together.
B. They spoke ill of each other.
C. They were badly annoyed with each other.
D. They criticized each other’s poor work performance.
5. What does the underlined word “rectify” in paragraph 3 probably mean?
A. Investigate. B. Correct. C. Maintain. D. Review.
6. What did the author advise Sara to do?
A. Accept her colleague’s apology. B. Wait for her colleague to apologize.
C. Apologize to her colleague first. D. Justify herself to her colleague.
7. What is the author’s purpose in writing the passage?
A. To stress the importance of an apology.
B. To explain how to apologize effectively.
C. To show how to respond to others’ apology.
D. To offer advice on getting along with colleagues.
C
We all love our parents and turn to them when we’re in need, but would you like them to hear the conversations you have with your friends in the school playground or lunch queue? Social networking sites have become virtual extensions of the school hallways, so would you add your parents as “friends” and allow them to view your online activities and conversations with friends?
In the past the generation gap included a technology gap, where children were up to date with the latest technology and parents were left behind, content to continue their day-to-day lives as they always had because they had no need to be tech-savvy. However, more and more parents are beginning to realize just how important social networks are in their lives. This realization has given many parents the motivation to educate themselves about social networking sites.
These days many people are attracted to social networking sites because they can choose who they have around them; there’s also a certain amount of control over privacy that we don’t get in real life. Sometimes we feel that privacy is violated when we must accept a “friend” request from a parent or family member.
It’s a difficult choice whether or not to allow a parent to become a part of our online lives. On the one hand we don’t want to “reject” their request because that might hurt their feelings or make them feel you have something to hide. On the other hand if you do accept, then you could have a sense of being watched and no longer feel free to comment or communicate the way you did before.
A recent survey suggested that parents shouldn’t take it personally if their child ignores their request: “ When a teen ignores a parent’s friend request, it doesn’t necessarily mean that they are hiding something, but it could mean that this is one part of their life where they want to exert their independence.”
Perhaps talking with parents and giving explanations would help soften the blow when you do choose not to add them to your friends list.
8. Many parents teach themselves social networks because ________.
A. they are not content with their daily life B. they regard social networks important
C. they are curious to explore new technologies D. they want to view their children’s online activities
9. What might be the reason for teens to reject their parents’ request?
A. They can’t choose friends around them. B. They have nothing to hide.
C. They don’t want to teach their parents. D. Their privacy can not be guaranteed if so.
10. A recent survey suggested that ________.
A. teens value their privacy and independence B. a teen’s rejection means they have something to hide
C. a teen’s rejection means nothing special D. independence is everything teens desire
11. What is most likely to be talked about next?
A. How to bridge the generation gap. B. How to make friends on social networks.
C. How to explain to parents about the rejection. D. How to use the social networking sites.
D
It’s a common debate between couples — the perfect temperature to keep both warm but not hot. And the temperature’s setting often forms the basis of office arguments between women and men about the “correct” temperature. Research does often show women prefer a higher indoor temperature, compared with men. But why do women feel the cold more?
With the same body weight, women tend to have less muscle to produce heat. Women also have more fat between the skin and the muscles, so the skin feels colder, as it’s slightly further away from blood vessels. Women also tend to have a lower metabolic (新陈代谢) rate than men, which reduces heat production ability during cold exposure, making women more likely to feel cold as the temperature drops. Additionally, the hormones mainly found in women make women’s hands, feet and ears stay around three degrees Celsius cooler than men’s.
The phenomenon that women prefer warmer temperatures isn’t unique to humans. Studies on many species of birds and mammals report that males commonly gather in cooler areas where there is shade, while females and the young stay in warmer environments where there is sunlight. Male bats prefer to rest at the cool, high peaks of mountains, while females remain in the warmer valleys. Female mammals may have developed a preference for warmer climates to encourage them to rest with offspring (幼崽) during stages when the young are unable to regulate their own body temperature. So the difference between heat-sensing systems may provide an advantage.
Couples choosing separate blankets is one way to overcome the differences in temperature preferences. In the workplace, personal comfort systems are heating systems that heat or cool and can be locally placed in individual work stations such as desktops, chairs, or near the feet and legs. Examples include small desk fans, heated chairs and blankets, or footwarmers. These provide individualised thermal comfort (热舒适) to meet personal needs without affecting others in the same space, and have been found to produce higher comfort satisfaction in the workplace.
12. How does the author introduce the topic of the passage?
A. By giving daily examples. B. By analyzing office rules.
C. By mentioning an experiment. D. By sharing a personal experience.
13. What can we know about women from paragraph 2?
A. They have less fat than men. B. Their skin usually feels warmer.
C. Their heart rate is higher than men. D. They are more sensitive to cold.
14. Why does the author mention the studies on birds and mammals?
A. To show their preference for cold.
B. To provide more evidence for the findings.
C. To introduce the system of keeping warm.
D. To inform us of a new scientific debate.
15. What can be a suitable title for the passage?
A. Women have an advantage.
B. Why do women feel cold more?
C. How do we agree on the ideal temperature?
D. Biological differences between men and women.
第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
If a good friend is keeping their distance and you want to reach out to them, the best approach is openness, honesty, and a willingness to understand your friend’s feelings. ____16____Here are some specific steps to get a friend back.
____17____
There is most likely a specific reason for the gap of your friendship. Consider the situation as objectively as you can. Even if you feel wronged by your friend, consider the possibility that somewhere along the line you have also hurt them in ways that you weren’t aware of.
Be aware of other reasons.
If there seems to be no clear reason for your friend’s distance don’t jump to conclusions. It may have nothing to do with you. ____18____ A failure in a test, a different opinion from others or a quarrel between parents can all affect your friend, which temporarily keeps him/her away from you.
Think about what you want to say in advance.
If you feel you need to apologize, be specific about what you’re apologizing for. Make sure it’s sincere: what are you really sorry about? For example, if you’ve been ignoring your friend because you’re spending all your time with a new friend, it isn’t appropriate to apologize for spending time with this other person. ___19___
Call your friend or ask to meet.
___20___ Body language can communicate a lot more than just your voices and may help avoid misunderstandings. If you ask to meet, try to avoid unclear phrases like, “We need to talk. ” These can put your friend on the defensive. Instead, try a more emotionally rooted approach like, “I miss you,” or “I was just hoping we could spend a little time together. ”
A. Reflect on what happened.
B. Talk about things that you’d like to change.
C. It’s probably best to have a face-to-face talk if you can.
D. Your friend might have something else troubling them.
E. Instead, say sorry that you haven’t been making time for your friend.
F. Both of you might need time to process what the other has said.
G. Take your time, be thoughtful, and hopefully you can repair the damage.

47. 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。
Jennifer, a middle school student, was in Mr Green’s class. After only a month at school, she began to be home on a regular basis asking for plenty of crayons, paper, etc. At first, her mother, Sophia, just dutifully provided whatever she needed, never questioning her.
After ongoing requests for the items for several weeks, Sophia became concerned and asked her, “Jennifer, what are you doing with your stationery (文具)?” However, Jennifer would always respond with an answer that satisfied Sophia.
One day, after supplying the same things to Jennifer, Sophia seriously asked her once again, “Jennifer! What is exactly going on with your stationery?” Knowing her excuses would no longer work, Jennifer bent her head and kept silence. With her mind filled with confusion, Sophia lifted her daughter’s chin and looked into her eyes, asking, “What is wrong? Are you making money by reselling school supplies?” Sophia waited for what seemed like a long time for Jennifer to answer.
“Mom,” Jennifer said, “I’ve known a boy, called Jack, who is a student in the nearby school sponsored by a charity. He is an immigrant and has two brothers. He doesn’t have enough stationery to do his work. He only has two crayons to color with, and his art paper is messy. I have been putting the new stationery you bought me in his desk before the others came in, so he still doesn’t know I gave it to him. Our teacher, Mr Green, always told us to be an honest person. I knew I didn’t do it. Mom, don’t be angry. I didn’t mean to tell you a lie, but I didn’t want anyone to know it was me.”
Sophia stood there in disbelief. Jennifer had took on the role of an adult and tried to hide her good intentions. Sophia hugged Jennifer tightly, saying, “Baby, I will never get mad at you for wanting to help someone, but why didn’t you just come and tell me?” This time, Sophia did not have to wait for her quick answer, but decided to act.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
The next day, Sophia told Mr Green what Jennifer had said, and invited him to visit Jack’s family together.

The other day, my friend Sara was telling me about a relationship with her colleague that was broken beyond repair. The two of them had been close. And then one day, Sara had, with the best intentions, done something that her colleague had completely misunderstood and had taken offense at.
Things became worse. Sara didn’t know what to say or do. She didn’t know how to repair the relationship. She began to get angry at her colleague for misunderstanding her and judging her. She felt justified in her anger. The two of them still were not really speaking and certainly weren’t working together. The team, and their output, were suffering.
It was time to do something to rectify the situation. I asked Sara what she needed. After much thought, she told me that she needed her colleague to be willing to listen to her with an open mind, to at least consider that she hadn’t meant any harm by what she’d done and to apologize for taking things so seriously and making things so bad.
“Ah…” I said to her. “You want an apology.” I then asked her, “What do you think your colleague might want?” I asked.
She didn’t answer.
“Did you ever apologize?” I asked her. She shook her head no. “Do you think you might want to apologize?” I asked her. She shrugged her shoulders… then shook her head yes.
Sometimes we take so long to apologize. We justify our unwillingness, saying it won’t really make a difference. Or they should apologize first. Or we didn’t mean any harm and they misunderstood us. But I’ve found that an apology—a true, heartfelt apology—can work wonders. It can repair the unrepairable. It can fix just about anything.
4. What happened between Sara and her colleague?
A. They decided to quit the job together.
B. They spoke ill of each other.
C. They were badly annoyed with each other.
D. They criticized each other’s poor work performance.
5. What does the underlined word “rectify” in paragraph 3 probably mean?
A. Investigate. B. Correct. C. Maintain. D. Review.
6. What did the author advise Sara to do?
A. Accept her colleague’s apology. B. Wait for her colleague to apologize.
C. Apologize to her colleague first. D. Justify herself to her colleague.
7. What is the author’s purpose in writing the passage?
A. To stress the importance of an apology.
B. To explain how to apologize effectively.
C. To show how to respond to others’ apology.
D. To offer advice on getting along with colleagues.
【答案】4. C 5. B 6. C 7. A
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇记叙文。Sara和她的同事因为误解,互相生气,影响了工作,作者提出一些建议来帮助Sara。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句“Sara had, with the best intentions, done something that her colleague had completely misunderstood and had taken offense at.(Sara出于好意,做了一件同事完全误解和冒犯的事。)”可知,Sara做了一件让同事生气的事情。由第二段第四五句“She began to get angry at her colleague for misunderstanding her and judging her. She felt justified in her anger. The two of them still were not really speaking and certainly weren’t working together. ( 她开始对同事误会她、评判她而生气。她觉得自己的愤怒是正当的。他们两人仍然没有真正交谈,当然也没有在一起工作。)”可知,Sara开始生同事的气,两人既不说话也不合作,故选C。
【5题详解】
词义猜测题。根据第二段最后一句“The team, and their output, were suffering.( 团队和他们的产出都受到了影响。)”可知,团队和她们的工作产出都因为Sara和同事互相生气而变差。由第三段第二句“I asked Sara what she needed.( 我问莎拉她需要什么。)”可知,作者主动开解Sara。因此,作者认为是时候“纠正、整顿”这种局面了,故选B。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段引号中的问话,作者问“Sara,Did you ever apologize?( “你道歉过吗?”)”及“Do you think you might want to apologize?(“你认为你想道歉吗?”)”可知,作者希望Sara主动向同事道歉,故选C。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段最后两句“But I’ve found that an apology a true, heartfelt apology can work wonders. It can repair the unrepairable. It can fix just about anything.( 但是我发现一个道歉,一个真正的、发自内心的道歉能够创造奇迹。它可以修复无法修复的问题。它几乎可以解决任何问题。)”可知,作者认为道歉能创造奇迹,修复关系,可以解决任何问题。因此,可以推断出作者写这篇文章的目的是“强调道歉的重要性”,故选A。
【点睛】细节理解题,需要通读全文或者部分段落,了解文中的重要事实或细节,然后遵循由整体到细节的原则,把握作者的思路,按全文---段落----词语的步骤来解题。
词意猜测题,考生应该紧扣原文,根据上下文的语境进行合理判断,既不要望文生义,也不要断章取义,更不能只选择自己认识或熟悉的意思。
写作意图题,在涉及文章的主题(main idea)、结论(conclusion)、结局(ending)等有关问题时,需要在细读全文的基础上,结合所学语言知识、背景知识、生活常识等进行逻辑推理和判断,从而挖掘出文章中隐含的信息。
C
We all love our parents and turn to them when we’re in need, but would you like them to hear the conversations you have with your friends in the school playground or lunch queue? Social networking sites have become virtual extensions of the school hallways, so would you add your parents as “friends” and allow them to view your online activities and conversations with friends?
In the past the generation gap included a technology gap, where children were up to date with the latest technology and parents were left behind, content to continue their day-to-day lives as they always had because they had no need to be tech-savvy. However, more and more parents are beginning to realize just how important social networks are in their lives. This realization has given many parents the motivation to educate themselves about social networking sites.
These days many people are attracted to social networking sites because they can choose who they have around them; there’s also a certain amount of control over privacy that we don’t get in real life. Sometimes we feel that privacy is violated when we must accept a “friend” request from a parent or family member.
It’s a difficult choice whether or not to allow a parent to become a part of our online lives. On the one hand we don’t want to “reject” their request because that might hurt their feelings or make them feel you have something to hide. On the other hand if you do accept, then you could have a sense of being watched and no longer feel free to comment or communicate the way you did before.
A recent survey suggested that parents shouldn’t take it personally if their child ignores their request: “ When a teen ignores a parent’s friend request, it doesn’t necessarily mean that they are hiding something, but it could mean that this is one part of their life where they want to exert their independence.”
Perhaps talking with parents and giving explanations would help soften the blow when you do choose not to add them to your friends list.
8. Many parents teach themselves social networks because ________.
A. they are not content with their daily life B. they regard social networks important
C. they are curious to explore new technologies D. they want to view their children’s online activities
9. What might be the reason for teens to reject their parents’ request?
A. They can’t choose friends around them. B. They have nothing to hide.
C. They don’t want to teach their parents. D. Their privacy can not be guaranteed if so.
10. A recent survey suggested that ________.
A teens value their privacy and independence B. a teen’s rejection means they have something to hide
C. a teen’s rejection means nothing special D. independence is everything teens desire
11. What is most likely to be talked about next?
A. How to bridge the generation gap. B. How to make friends on social networks.
C. How to explain to parents about the rejection. D. How to use the social networking sites.
【答案】8. B 9. D 10. A 11. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。现在很多父母进入社交网站,希望加孩子为好友,针对这一要求作者告诉了一些观点。 孩子往往拒绝这一要求,因为他们不想自己的一举一动被父母注视,他们想独立。同时作者也嘱咐孩子如果不加父母好友也要和父母多交谈。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“However, more and more parents are beginning to realize just how important social networks are in their lives. This realization has given many parents the motivation to educate themselves about social networking sites.(然而,越来越多的父母开始意识到社交网络在他们生活中的重要性。这种认识使许多父母有动力自学社交网站)”可知,许多家长自学社交网络,因为他们认为社交网络很重要。故选B。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“These days many people are attracted to social networking sites because they can choose who they have around them; there’s also a certain amount of control over privacy that we don’t get in real life. Sometimes we feel that privacy is violated when we must accept a “friend” request from a parent or family member.(如今,许多人被社交网站所吸引,因为他们可以选择身边的人;我们还可以在一定程度上控制我们在现实生活中得不到的隐私。有时,当我们必须接受来自父母或家庭成员的“好友”请求时,我们会觉得隐私受到了侵犯)”可知,青少年拒绝父母请求的原因是他们的隐私就不能得到保障。故选D。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“A recent survey suggested that parents shouldn’t take it personally if their child ignores their request: “ When a teen ignores a parent’s friend request, it doesn’t necessarily mean that they are hiding something, but it could mean that this is one part of their life where they want to exert their independence.”(最近的一项调查表明,如果他们的孩子无视他们的请求,父母不应该把它放在心上。“当青少年无视父母的朋友请求时,不一定意味着他们在隐瞒什么,但可能意味着这是他们生活中的一个部分,他们想发挥自己的独立性。”)”可推知,最近的一项调查表明,青少年重视他们的隐私和独立。故选A。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Perhaps talking with parents and giving explanations would help soften the blow when you do choose not to add them to your friends list.(也许当你选择不把父母列入好友名单时,与他们交谈并给出解释会有助于减轻他们受到的打击)”可推知,接下来最有可能讨论的话题是如何向父母解释被拒绝的原因。故选C。
D
It’s a common debate between couples — the perfect temperature to keep both warm but not hot. And the temperature’s setting often forms the basis of office arguments between women and men about the “correct” temperature. Research does often show women prefer a higher indoor temperature, compared with men. But why do women feel the cold more?
With the same body weight, women tend to have less muscle to produce heat. Women also have more fat between the skin and the muscles, so the skin feels colder, as it’s slightly further away from blood vessels. Women also tend to have a lower metabolic (新陈代谢) rate than men, which reduces heat production ability during cold exposure, making women more likely to feel cold as the temperature drops. Additionally, the hormones mainly found in women make women’s hands, feet and ears stay around three degrees Celsius cooler than men’s.
The phenomenon that women prefer warmer temperatures isn’t unique to humans. Studies on many species of birds and mammals report that males commonly gather in cooler areas where there is shade, while females and the young stay in warmer environments where there is sunlight. Male bats prefer to rest at the cool, high peaks of mountains, while females remain in the warmer valleys. Female mammals may have developed a preference for warmer climates to encourage them to rest with offspring (幼崽) during stages when the young are unable to regulate their own body temperature. So the difference between heat-sensing systems may provide an advantage.
Couples choosing separate blankets is one way to overcome the differences in temperature preferences. In the workplace, personal comfort systems are heating systems that heat or cool and can be locally placed in individual work stations such as desktops, chairs, or near the feet and legs. Examples include small desk fans, heated chairs and blankets, or footwarmers. These provide individualised thermal comfort (热舒适) to meet personal needs without affecting others in the same space, and have been found to produce higher comfort satisfaction in the workplace.
12. How does the author introduce the topic of the passage?
A. By giving daily examples. B. By analyzing office rules.
C. By mentioning an experiment. D. By sharing a personal experience.
13. What can we know about women from paragraph 2?
A. They have less fat than men. B. Their skin usually feels warmer.
C. Their heart rate is higher than men. D. They are more sensitive to cold.
14. Why does the author mention the studies on birds and mammals?
A. To show their preference for cold.
B. To provide more evidence for the findings.
C. To introduce the system of keeping warm.
D. To inform us of a new scientific debate.
15. What can be a suitable title for the passage?
A. Women have an advantage.
B. Why do women feel cold more?
C. How do we agree on the ideal temperature?
D. Biological differences between men and women.
【答案】12. A 13. D 14. B 15. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是说明文。这篇文章探讨了为什么女性比男性更容易感到寒冷,并从生物学和生理学的角度解释了这一现象。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“It’s a common debate between couples — the perfect temperature to keep both warm but not hot. And the temperature’s setting often forms the basis of office arguments between women and men about the “correct” temperature. Research does often show women prefer a higher indoor temperature, compared with men. But why do women feel the cold more?(这是夫妻之间经常争论的一个问题——怎样的温度既能让双方保持温暖,又不会太热。而温度的设置常常成为办公室里男女之间关于“正确”温度的争论的基础。研究确实经常显示,与男性相比,女性更喜欢较高的室内温度。但为什么女性更容易感到寒冷呢?)”可知,作者通过一些日常的例子来引入文章的主题。故选A项。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“With the same body weight, women tend to have less muscle to produce heat. Women also have more fat between the skin and the muscles, so the skin feels colder, as it’s slightly further away from blood vessels. Women also tend to have a lower metabolic (新陈代谢) rate than men, which reduces heat production ability during cold exposure, making women more likely to feel cold as the temperature drops. Additionally, the hormones mainly found in women make women’s hands, feet and ears stay around three degrees Celsius cooler than men’s.(在相同体重的情况下,女性产生热量的肌肉往往较少。女性在皮肤和肌肉之间也有更多的脂肪,所以皮肤感觉更冷,因为它离血管稍微远一些。女性的新陈代谢率也往往比男性低,这降低了女性在寒冷环境下的产热能力,使女性在气温下降时更容易感到寒冷。此外,主要存在于女性体内的激素使女性的手、脚和耳朵比男性的温度低3摄氏度左右)”可知,从本段我们可以知道女性对寒冷更敏感。故选D项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“The phenomenon that women prefer warmer temperatures isn’t unique to humans. (女性喜欢温暖温度的现象并非人类独有)”和“Studies on many species of birds and mammals report that males commonly gather in cooler areas where there is shade, while females and the young stay in warmer environments where there is sunlight. Male bats prefer to rest at the cool, high peaks of mountains, while females remain in the warmer valleys. Female mammals may have developed a preference for warmer climates to encourage them to rest with offspring (幼崽) during stages when the young are unable to regulate their own body temperature.(对许多鸟类和哺乳动物的研究表明,雄性通常聚集在阴凉的凉爽地区,而雌性和幼崽则呆在有阳光的温暖环境中。雄蝙蝠喜欢在凉爽的山峰上休息,而雌蝙蝠则呆在温暖的山谷里。雌性哺乳动物可能已经形成了对温暖气候的偏好,以鼓励它们在幼崽无法调节自身体温的阶段与后代一起休息)”可知,本段提到鸟类和哺乳动物的研究是为了为研究结果提供更多证据(即女性喜欢温暖温度的现象并非人类独有)。故选B项。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“It’s a common debate between couples — the perfect temperature to keep both warm but not hot. And the temperature’s setting often forms the basis of office arguments between women and men about the “correct” temperature. Research does often show women prefer a higher indoor temperature, compared with men. But why do women feel the cold more?(这是夫妻之间经常争论的一个问题——怎样的温度既能让双方保持温暖,又不会太热。而温度的设置常常成为办公室里男女之间关于“正确”温度的争论的基础。研究确实经常显示,与男性相比,女性更喜欢较高的室内温度。但为什么女性更容易感到寒冷呢?)”以及纵观全文可知,本文主要探讨了为什么女性比男性更容易感到寒冷,所以B项“Why do women feel cold more?(为什么女性更容易感到寒冷?)”是本文最好的标题。故选B项。
第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
If a good friend is keeping their distance and you want to reach out to them, the best approach is openness, honesty, and a willingness to understand your friend’s feelings. ____16____Here are some specific steps to get a friend back.
____17____
There is most likely a specific reason for the gap of your friendship. Consider the situation as objectively as you can. Even if you feel wronged by your friend, consider the possibility that somewhere along the line you have also hurt them in ways that you weren’t aware of.
Be aware of other reasons.
If there seems to be no clear reason for your friend’s distance, don’t jump to conclusions. It may have nothing to do with you. ____18____ A failure in a test, a different opinion from others or a quarrel between parents can all affect your friend, which temporarily keeps him/her away from you.
Think about what you want to say in advance.
If you feel you need to apologize, be specific about what you’re apologizing for. Make sure it’s sincere: what are you really sorry about? For example, if you’ve been ignoring your friend because you’re spending all your time with a new friend, it isn’t appropriate to apologize for spending time with this other person. ___19___
Call your friend or ask to meet.
___20___ Body language can communicate a lot more than just your voices and may help avoid misunderstandings. If you ask to meet, try to avoid unclear phrases like, “We need to talk. ” These can put your friend on the defensive. Instead, try a more emotionally rooted approach like, “I miss you,” or “I was just hoping we could spend a little time together. ”
A. Reflect on what happened.
B. Talk about things that you’d like to change.
C. It’s probably best to have a face-to-face talk if you can.
D. Your friend might have something else troubling them.
E. Instead, say sorry that you haven’t been making time for your friend.
F Both of you might need time to process what the other has said.
G. Take your time, be thoughtful, and hopefully you can repair the damage.
【答案】16. G 17. A 18. D 19. E 20. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。在生活中有时候友谊会出现裂痕,文章主要介绍了如何修复友谊裂痕。
【16题详解】
根据上文“If a good friend is keeping their distance and you want to reach out to them, the best approach is openness, honesty, and a willingness to understand your friend’s feelings.(如果一个好朋友和你保持距离,而你想和他们接触,最好的方法是开放,诚实,并愿意理解你朋友的感受。)”可知,此处描述的是与朋友之间产生距离,应如何做,结合下一句“Here are some specific steps to get a friend back.(这里有一些找回朋友的具体步骤。)”可知,本文介绍如何修复友谊,由此可知,G项“慢慢来,考虑周全,希望你能弥补损失。”也是修复友谊的表述,符合文意,承上启下,故选G。
【17题详解】
本空作为段落小标题,与其他小标题形式一致,应用祈使句,根据段落内容“There is most likely a specific reason for the gap of your friendship. Consider the situation as objectively as you can. Even if you feel wronged by your friend, consider the possibility that somewhere along the line you have also hurt them in ways that you weren’t aware of.(你们之间的隔阂很可能有一个特定的原因。尽可能客观地考虑情况。即使你觉得被你的朋友冤枉了,也要考虑到你在不知不觉中伤害了他们的可能性。)”可知,本段内容介绍的是我们要反思自己的行为是否对朋友产生了不好的影响,A项“反思发生过的事情。”符合段落主旨,适合作为本段小标题,故选A。
【18题详解】
根据上文“If there seems to be no clear reason for your friend’s distance, don’t jump to conclusions. It may have nothing to do with you. (如果你的朋友和你保持距离似乎没有明确的原因,不要妄下结论。这可能与你无关。)”可知,朋友的疏离没有明确原因,可能与你无关,那么说明与朋友有关,结合下文“A failure in a test, a different opinion from others or a quarrel between parents can all affect your friend, which temporarily keeps him/her away from you.(考试的失败,别人的不同意见或父母之间的争吵都可以影响你的朋友,这暂时让他/她远离你。)”介绍了一些可能是朋友疏离你的原因,可知D项“你的朋友可能有别的事困扰着他们。”符合文意,承上启下,故选D。
【19题详解】
根据上文“For example, if you’ve been ignoring your friend because you’re spending all your time with a new friend, it isn’t appropriate to apologize for spending time with this other person.(例如,如果你一直忽视你的朋友,因为你把所有的时间都花在了一个新朋友身上,那么为花时间和这个人在一起而道歉是不合适的。)”可知,此处举例子说明因为花时间与新朋友在一起而忽略朋友的行为,应采取的措施,不是因为花时间和新朋友在一起而道歉,而是因为没有抽出时间陪伴朋友道歉,E项“相反,你应该为没有抽出时间陪朋友而道歉。”符合文意,故选E。
【20题详解】
根据小标题“Call your friend or ask to meet.(打电话给你的朋友或要求见面。)”可知,本段给出的方法是与朋友见面,结合下文“Body language can communicate a lot more than just your voices and may help avoid misunderstandings. (肢体语言不仅能交流你的声音,还能避免误解。)”说明肢体语言可以进行更为有效的沟通,所以见面聊是最好的,C项“如果可以的话,最好是面对面地谈一谈。”符合文意,故选C。

第二节(满分25分)
47. 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。
Jennifer, a middle school student, was in Mr Green’s class. After only a month at school, she began to be home on a regular basis asking for plenty of crayons, paper, etc. At first, her mother, Sophia, just dutifully provided whatever she needed, never questioning her.
After ongoing requests for the items for several weeks, Sophia became concerned and asked her, “Jennifer, what are you doing with your stationery (文具)?” However, Jennifer would always respond with an answer that satisfied Sophia.
One day, after supplying the same things to Jennifer, Sophia seriously asked her once again, “Jennifer! What is exactly going on with your stationery?” Knowing her excuses would no longer work, Jennifer bent her head and kept silence. With her mind filled with confusion, Sophia lifted her daughter’s chin and looked into her eyes, asking, “What is wrong? Are you making money by reselling school supplies?” Sophia waited for what seemed like a long time for Jennifer to answer.
“Mom,” Jennifer said, “I’ve known a boy, called Jack, who is a student in the nearby school sponsored by a charity. He is an immigrant and has two brothers. He doesn’t have enough stationery to do his work. He only has two crayons to color with, and his art paper is messy. I have been putting the new stationery you bought me in his desk before the others came in, so he still doesn’t know I gave it to him. Our teacher, Mr Green, always told us to be an honest person. I knew I didn’t do it. Mom, don’t be angry. I didn’t mean to tell you a lie, but I didn’t want anyone to know it was me.”
Sophia stood there in disbelief. Jennifer had took on the role of an adult and tried to hide her good intentions. Sophia hugged Jennifer tightly, saying, “Baby, I will never get mad at you for wanting to help someone, but why didn’t you just come and tell me?” This time, Sophia did not have to wait for her quick answer, but decided to act.
注意:

The acts of Sophia and Mr Green unexpectedly set off a wave of donations in Jennifer’s school.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】The next day, Sophia told Mr. Green what Jennifer had said, and invited him to visit Jack’s family together. Jack’s mother heard the knock on the door and answered it quickly. The immigrant family lived in a small house, where there was not even a single piece of furniture. But some brightly coloured pictures on the walls attracted their attention. Apparently they were painted by Jack and his brother. Sophia and Mr. Green explain why they came, and then gave the mother the stationery and clothes they had bought.
The acts of Sophia and Mr Green unexpectedly set off a wave of donations in Jennifer’s school. Determined to help those in need of help at the charity school, both the teachers and the students actively donated money and goods. Some children brought their treasured stationery, and some even donated their piggy POTS. Seeing such a scene, Sophia and Mr. Green were moved, thinking they could definitely make a difference.
