With a heavy bag on my back, I was excited to teach at a small school here, but a little 1 . What would these students be like? The school had only 18 students. Most were quiet, 2 they ran and laughed at break. One girl, Wen, always sat alone in the corner, seldom saying anything. On my first day in the classroom, I shared with them a 3 with the words “You are seen” on it and put it up on the wall. Some smiled shyly and some spoke quietly. “That’s why I’m here,” I said. However, Wen didn’t 4 . She was just drawing circles on the desk with her finger. Days passed quickly. The lessons were 5 planned. The children were kind. But my effort seemed to make little difference. I was not sure if I was doing anything 6 . One night, a heavy storm caused a power cut, leaving the classroom in darkness. As everyone was frozen, a soft light appeared. It was Wen who was holding a 7 in her hand. “We can still read,” she said in a low voice. That was the first time I heard her voice. The next day, she sat 8 to her classmates. In the following days, she began to talk more. In my last class, she came up and gave me the lantern. “So you will always have some 9 ,” she smiled gently. I came to give light, but found it was quietly 10 . Volunteering isn’t always loud or big. Sometimes, it’s a quiet lantern—shared between the two, and shining in both directions. 1．A．bored B．relaxed C．worried D．surprised 2．A．though B．so C．since D．when 3．A．dictionary B．poster C．book D．timetable 4．A．stand up B．give up C．wake up D．look up 5．A．slowly B．carefully C．directly D．finally 6．A．simple B．interesting C．popular D．meaningful 7．A．book B．lantern C．candle D．lamp 8．A．farther B．lower C．closer D．longer 9．A．fun B．time C．light D．hope 10．A．returned B．collected C．connected D．accepted 【答案】 1．C 2．A 3．B 4．D 5．B 6．D 7．B 8．C 9．C 10．A 【导语】本文主要讲述作者到山村小学支教，原本沉默孤僻的学生Wen在一次停电中主动拿出灯笼照亮教室，之后Wen逐渐变得开朗，离别时Wen把灯笼送给作者，作者感悟到志愿奉献是双向照亮的温暖过程。 1．句意：我背着沉重的包，很兴奋能在这所小学校教书，但有点儿担心的。 后文作者疑惑“What would these students be like?”说明作者除了兴奋，还有一点担心，应填worried。bored“无聊的”和relaxed“轻松的”与兴奋转折矛盾，surprised“惊讶的”语境不符。 2．句意：大多数学生都很安静，尽管他们在课间休息时会边跑边笑。 前后句意存在转折关系，应填though“尽管”。so“因此”表因果，since“自从”表时间或原因，when“当……时候”表示时间，均不合逻辑。 3．句意：在教室的第一天，我和他们分享了一张上面写着“你们被看见了”的海报，并把它贴在墙上。 能贴在墙上展示话语的通常是海报，应填poster。dictionary“字典”、book“书”和timetable“时间表”一般不贴在墙上展示标语。 4．句意：然而，温没有抬头看。 后文“She was just drawing circles on the desk with her finger.”只有Wen低头在桌上画圈，没有抬头，应填look up“抬头”。stand up“站起来”、give up“放弃”和wake up“醒来”与语境动作不符。 5．句意：课程是精心计划的。 作者作为支教老师，用心准备课程，课程是仔细规划好的，应填carefully。slowly“慢慢地”、directly“直接地”和finally“最后”无法体现努力准备的过程。 6．句意：我不确定我是否在做有意义的事。 前文提到“But my effort seemed to make little difference. ”，因此作者怀疑自己做的事是否有意义，应填meaningful。simple“简单的”、interesting“有趣的”和popular“受欢迎的”不符合此时自我怀疑的语境。 7．句意：是温，她手里拿着一盏灯笼。 后文明确说到“she came up and gave me the lantern.”，此处对应下文，应填lantern。book“书”不能发光，candle“蜡烛”和lamp“台灯”与后文提到的lantern不一致。 8．句意：第二天，她坐得离同学更近了。 根据后文“she began to talk more.”，此处表示她开始交流，说明心理距离拉近，坐得更近，应填closer。farther“更远”表示疏远，lower“更低”和longer“更长”与社交行为无关。 9．句意：所以你会一直有一些光亮。 根据上文停电时温用灯笼照亮教室以及“gave me the lantern”可知，这里指物理上的光亮及象征意义，应填light。fun“乐趣”、time“时间”和hope“希望”虽好，但light紧扣灯笼主题。 10．句意：我本想来给予光亮，却发现它已被悄然回赠。 作者本来是来给孩子们带来光明（改变），最后发现光明被反向传递回自己，应填returned“返回，归还”符合结尾“双向照亮”的主旨。collected“收集”、connected“连接”和accepted“接受”无法体现双向互动的含义。 阅读下面短文，理解大意，然后从所给的四个选项中选出一个最佳答案，使短文连贯完整。 I still remember a difficult experience I had last year.

During the match, I tried my best. Our team won the game! When the final whistle (哨子) blew, I 6 a strong sense of achievement (成就感). After that experience, I learned that growing up is not always 7 .

Now, when I meet problems, I always remember that failure is not the end. The 10 is to keeping trying.

In a Ted Talk, psychologist Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi said he had found the answer: flow (心流). Flow is the experience of being fully lost in a certain task. Csikszentmihalyi described it in his Ted Talk as an exciting feeling which happens naturally. He says “Flow is an ideal state (状态) of mind where every part of the mind and body work together towards one purpose. Then we feel our best and we do our best.” People can get into a flow state when doing “just about anything”, he adds. After interviewing a lot of people who said they had experienced the flow, Csikszentmihalyi found five conditions in flow states: · Forgetting about time   · Having a sense of excitement · Knowing exactly what you want   · Getting feedback (反馈) on what you are doing right now · Knowing your purpose can be achieved, even if (即使) it is difficult A flow state sounds lovely. So ________? “It is impossible to decide when to get into flow.” says Norsworthy, a leader of Flow Center. But we can get more chances to experience it, he adds. The key to entering a flow state is choosing a proper task according to your ability and skills. A task that doesn’t need much skill, like washing the clothes, may lead to little interest. A task with great difficulty where one doesn’t have the needed skill may make people nervous. However, if a task is difficult and we have the skills necessary to finish it, there’s higher chance for us to experience flow. Norsworthy talks about his running practice. “When I first got started, it was not a flow state at all,” he says. As he practised more, he began to achieve a flow state. However, he also mentions that there are some actions that may stop you getting into a flow state. Knowing how to avoid these actions is important. 1．How did Csikszentmihalyi find the conditions of flow? A．By doing some science tests. B．By reading books about happiness. C．By talking about flow in his Ted Talk. D．By asking people about their experiences. 2．Which of the following shows a person is in a flow state? A．When I am reading interesting books, I have no sense of time. B．When I am doing a task, I don’t know what I should do next. C．When I am in a football team, I find myself less important. D．When I finish a task, my teacher doesn’t give me his opinion. 3．Which is the most suitable for the blank ________? A．why is flow state so important B．when do you enter a flow state C．how do you achieve a flow state D．what is a flow state 4．What may the writer talk about next? A．The usages of flow. B．The killers of flow. C．The examples of flow. D．The activities of flow. 【答案】1．D 2．A 3．C 4．B 【导语】本文主要介绍了心流，指人们完全专注于其自身正在做的事情的一种状态。 1．细节理解题。根据“After interviewing a lot of people who said they had experienced the flow, Csikszentmihalyi found five conditions in flow states”可知，Csikszentmihalyi是通过询问人们的经历来发动心流状态的条件的。故选D。 2．细节理解题。根据“After interviewing a lot of people who said they had experienced the flow, Csikszentmihalyi found five conditions in flow states:”以及方框中第一个条件“Forgetting about time”可知，一个人处于心流状态时，会忘记时间。故选A。 3．细节理解题。根据“The key to entering a flow state is choosing a proper task according to your ability and skills. ”可知，此处应讲述是如何进入心流状态的。故选C。 4．推理判断题。根据“However, he also mentions that there are some actions that may stop you getting into a flow state. Knowing how to avoid these actions is important.”可知，短文最后提到“有些行为可能阻止你进入心流状态，知道如何避免这些行为很重要”。因此，作者接下来很可能会讨论这些阻止心流的行为，即“心流的杀手”。故选B。 In the centre of the busy city, where skyscrapers kissed the clouds and people hurried about, there was a small park. It was an island of peace in the city center, a place where I, a high school boy, often went to after school. One sunny afternoon, as I sat on a bench, my attention was drawn to a street performer preparing his act. He was a middle-aged man with a warm smile and eyes that shone with courage mixed with life’s wisdom. Placing his hat on the ground, he began to play the violin, each note filled with sad beauty that seemed to tell tales of his life’s journey. I watched as the crowd passed by, most too preoccupied (心事重重) with their own thoughts to notice the soulful melodies that surrounded them. Suddenly, a coin would clink into the hat, but for the most part, the performer was overlooked. Coming close to him when he took a break, I asked, “Don’t you ever feel disheartened when people don’t stop to listen?” He looked at me with a gentle smile and replied. “Disheartened? Yes; there are moments. But I tell myself that my music is a personal expression, not just a performance for others.” “Is it the money that keeps you going?” I asked, looking at the collection in his hat. He smiled, “The money is not bad, but it’s not the driving force. I play because I’m crazy about music. Every note I make is part of me that I share with the world. Whether anyone listens or not, I stay true to my love for the art.” His words struck a chord (和音) within me. Here was a person who is indifference (冷漠) of the world, but hold on to his pursuit (追求) of happiness. It was a powerful lesson in endurance (忍耐力) and self-worth. As the sun set, painting the sky orange and pink, he continued his playing. This time, I listened with new ears. The music was no longer just a melody; it was the strength and spirit of humanity. When it was finally time for me to head home, I placed a coin in his hat, not only as an act of charity, but as a respect for a man who had taught me a valuable life lesson: to follow one’s passion bravely even without an audience. 1．What did the park mean to the writer in the story? A．It was where he enjoyed music. B．It was where he relaxed after school. C．It was where he met the street performer. D．It was where he had to pass on his way home. 2．What can we infer from the fact that most people passed by without noticing the performer’s music? A．People didn’t want to pay a coin. B．The music was not attractive enough. C．People were busy with their own lives. D．The park was too noisy for them to hear the music. 3．What does the word “disheartened” in Paragraph 4 most likely mean? A．Excited about performing. B．Sad and losing confidence. C．Angry at others. D．Tired from playing. 4．What did the boy learn from the street performer? A．People should keep doing what you love even if no one watches. B．Money is necessary for artists to survive. C．Music can express personal stories beautifully. D．Busy city life makes people turn blind to art. 【答案】1．B 2．C 3．B 4．A 【导语】本文讲述了街头艺人教会作者要坚守热爱，即使没有观众。 1．细节理解题。根据“It was an island of peace in the city center, a place where I, a high school boy, often went to after school.”可知，公园是作者放学后放松的地方。故选B。 2．细节理解题。根据“most too preoccupied (心事重重) with their own thoughts to notice the soulful melodies that surrounded them.”可知，大多数人太专注于自己的事，而没有注意到深情的旋律。故选C。 3．词句猜测题。根据“Don’t you ever feel disheartened when people don’t stop to listen?”可知，此处是问“当人们不停下来听你说话时，你不感到沮丧吗”，因此划线词是“情绪低落、失去信心”。故选B。 4．细节理解题。根据“but as a respect for a man who had taught me a valuable life lesson: to follow one’s passion bravely even without an audience.”可知，作者学到了要勇敢追随自己的激情，即使没有观众。故选A。 In Paralympic Sports (残奥会), many blind or nearly blind athletes race (比赛) with the help of a guide. These pairs work very closely together. Jerusa Geber is a runner who lost her sight as a teenager. When she races with her guide Garcia, he runs to her left. They each hold one end of a short rope. If they’ve started well, he matches her speed bit by bit, but with the opposite foot. They work so well together that Jerusa now holds the women’s world record in the 100-meter race for blind or nearly blind athletes. Since 2012, guides in the Paralympics can win medals too. But the teamwork is about more than just winning. Garcia is a runner himself. “I like being a guide.” he said. “I feel more pressure (压力) at the Paralympics. I have to give 200% of myself to avoid mistakes and help my teammate do her best.” In cycling, Hannah Chadwick and her guide, Skyler Espinoza, also work closely. When they ride together, Espinoza always holds Chadwick’s hand before starting. “It’s a reminder (提示) that we’re in this together.” Espinoza said. Chadwick and Espinoza follow the same training plan. Sometimes, when the training gets hard, Chadwick thinks of her teammate. “I’m not training just for myself.” she said. “I’m training for both of us!” People sometimes say Espinoza is making a sacrifice (牺牲) for a disabled athlete. But she doesn’t see it that way. Espinoza believes that if she hadn’t been a Paralympic guide, she would never have shone so much in sports. “I’m lucky that Hannah chose me to do this, just as I chose to do it with her.” she said. 1．How does Garcia help the blind athlete Jerusa Geber? A．He walks in front of her to show the path. B．He runs behind her and shouts directions. C．He rides a bicycle next to her to guide the way. D．He holds a rope, running beside her with the opposite foot. 2．Which of the following words best describes the guides in the Paralympics? A．Crazy. B．Generous. C．Brave. D．Humorous. 3．What’s the best title for the text? A．Winning Together B．How to Become a Great Guide C．Special Help for Athletes D．The Hard Life of Paralympic Athletes 【答案】1．D 2．B 3．A 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了残奥会中盲人或视力受损运动员与引导员之间的紧密合作，展现了他们的团队精神与相互成就。 1．细节理解题。根据文章第二段“When she races with her guide Garcia, he runs to her left. They each hold one end of a short rope… with the opposite foot.”可知，当Jerusa与引导员Garcia比赛时，他跑在她的左侧，两人各持短绳一端，并用相反的脚步匹配速度。Garcia通过持绳并保持反脚步同步的方式引导。故选D。 2．推理判断题。根据全文对引导员的描述，如Garcia必须付出200%的努力、Espinoza不认为这是牺牲且感到幸运，可知引导员具有无私奉献（Generous）的特质。B选项“Generous”最贴合。故选B。 3．最佳标题题。全文核心是残奥会运动员与引导员“共同胜利”的协作关系，如Garcia与Jerusa共创纪录、Espinoza与Hannah互相成就。A选项“Winning Together”精准概括主题，适合作为文章标题。故选A。 Though Sylvia had grown up among tall buildings and busy streets, she had recently found herself more at home in the Maine countryside, where she had come to help her aging grandmother. She let the cow out to walk in the nearby fields every morning and led it back home in the evenings, staying with the woods and her animal neighbours every day. One evening, when Sylvia walked back home from the fields, she saw a stranger coming out of the forest. When the man reached her, he explained that he was quite interested in collecting rare birds and was searching for the white heron (苍鹭) nested (筑巢) in the area according to his book. He asked if he could stay at her house. Though Sylvia was a little bit worried, she led him to her grandmother. Over dinner, Sylvia’s grandmother told the man how her son had loved making friends with animals while he enjoyed living in the wild and that Sylvia was just the same. On hearing the news, the man offered Sylvia a lot of money to help him find the white heron, telling that he planned to shoot (打猎) and put it into his collection. Sylvia knew her grandmother had little savings, so she accepted. The next day, Sylvia and the man searched the forest for the white heron, but they came back empty-handed. At first, Sylvia was afraid of the man’s shooting and collection plan. With some time passing by, she was surprised to find that he was a person with a warm heart and rich knowledge of birds. The two led the cow home together in the afternoon. Just before bed, Sylvia remembered that one tree in the forest stood taller than the rest. If she managed to climb it, she would surely find the heron’s nest below. The thought made her so excited that she couldn’t sleep. She finally got out of house in the early morning to find the heron before the man awoke. Reaching the top of the tree was a success in itself, but nothing was more amazing than the moment Sylvia truly saw the heron. High as a bird, she felt she and the heron were one, and she suddenly realized she couldn’t be part of its death. The man was waiting for her when she returned home, but she refused to help him any longer. Later, Sylvia wondered whether giving up the money—and the man’s friendship—was really worth (值得) the heron’s life, but the treasures she might have gained were easily forgotten among the beauty of the wild. —Synopsis(摘要) of A White Heron by Sarah Orne Jewett 1．Which of the following can best describe Sylvia and the bird collector? A．Weak and strong. B．Good and bad. C．Kind and social. D．Excited and calm. 2．Why did Sylvia change her mind and refuse to help the man find the heron? A．She got a new understanding of the heron when she saw it. B．She knew that her grandmother didn’t really need the money. C．She found that the white heron was a special kind of rare bird. D．She learned that he planned to shoot and put it into his collection. 3．Which is the right order according to the story? ①Sylvia thought of the tallest tree at night.      ②Grandmother showed a warm welcome. ③Sylvia knew more about the bird collector.    ④Bird collector offered money to get help. A．③①②④ B．①②④③ C．②④③① D．④③①② 4．What can we infer from the story? A．Many people wanted the white heron. B．Sylvia decided to protect the white heron. C．Sylvia’s father was also a bird collector. D．The man became quite angry with Sylvia. 【答案】1．C 2．A 3．C 4．B 【导语】本文主要讲述了Sylvia在缅因州乡村帮助年迈的祖母时，遇到一位寻找稀有鸟类的陌生人。这位陌生人请求Sylvia帮助他找到一只白色的苍鹭以便射杀并收藏。虽然最初Sylvia因为金钱答应了他的请求，但在真正看到白鹭的那一刻，她意识到自己不能成为杀害这只美丽生灵的帮凶，于是她拒绝了继续帮助这位陌生人。 1．推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“High as a bird, she felt she and the heron were one, and she suddenly realized she couldn’t be part of its death.”可知，当Sylvia看到白鹭的那一刻，她意识到自己不能成为杀害这只美丽生灵的帮凶，由此推知，Sylvia是一个善良的人；根据第二段“When the man reached her, he explained that he was quite interested in collecting rare birds and was searching for the white heron (苍鹭) nested (筑巢) in the area according to his book. He asked if he could stay at her house.”可知，这个鸟类收藏家第一次见到Sylvia就告诉了Sylvia他对收集稀有鸟类很感兴趣，并且正在根据他的书寻找在这个地区筑巢的白鹭，而且询问Sylvia他是否可以住在她家。由此推知，这个鸟类收藏家是一个好交际的人。故选C。 2．推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“Reaching the top of the tree was a success in itself, but nothing was more amazing than the moment Sylvia truly saw the heron. High as a bird, she felt she and the heron were one, and she suddenly realized she couldn’t be part of its death.”可知，爬到树顶本身就是一种成功，但没有什么比Sylvia真正看到苍鹭的那一刻更令人惊叹了，她觉得她和苍鹭是一体的，她突然意识到她不能成为它死亡的一部分。由此推知，Sylvia拒绝帮助那个男人找到苍鹭，是因为当她看到苍鹭时，她对苍鹭有了新的认识。故选A。 3．细节理解题。根据第三段“Over dinner, Sylvia’s grandmother told the man how her son had loved making friends with animals while he enjoyed living in the wild and that Sylvia was just the same. On hearing the news, the man offered Sylvia a lot of money to help him find the white heron”，第四段“With some time passing by, she was surprised to find that he was a person with a warm heart and rich knowledge of birds.”和第五段“Just before bed, Sylvia remembered that one tree in the forest stood taller than the rest. If she managed to climb it, she would surely find the heron’s nest below. The thought made her so excited that she couldn’t sleep.”可知，故事的正确顺序是②④③① 。故选C。 4．推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“The man was waiting for her when she returned home, but she refused to help him any longer.”和最后一段“Later, Sylvia wondered whether giving up the money—and the man’s friendship—was really worth (值得) the heron’s life”可知，Sylvia拒绝帮助这个男人找苍鹭，放弃了和这个男人建立的友谊，由此推测，Sylvia决定保护苍鹭。故选B。 IS SUCCESS ABOUT LEARNING—OR SHOWING YOU’RE SMART? Benjamin once said, “I don’t divide (分) the world into the weak and the strong, or the successes and the failures. I divide the world into the learners and nonlearners.” What would make someone a nonlearner? Everyone is born with an intense drive (驱动力) to learn. Babies practise their skills daily, even the most difficult tasks of a lifetime, like learning to walk and talk. They never think it’s too hard. Babies don’t worry about making mistakes. They walk, they fall and they get up. They just move forward. What could put an end to this kind of learning? The fixed mindset (固定的思维模式). As soon as children become able to evaluate(评价) themselves, some of them become afraid of hard tasks. They become afraid of not being smart. I have studied thousands of students, and you can’t believe how many people refuse a chance to learn. We offered four-year-olds a choice (选择): They could red o an easy task or they could try a harder one. Even at this age, children with the fixed mindset—stuck with the safe one. Children with the growth mindset—the ones who believed you could get smarter by learning—thought it was a strange choice. Why are you asking me this? Why would anyone want to keep doing the same task over and over? They chose one hard one after another. “I’m dying to solve them!” one little girl said. So children with the fixed mindset want to make sure they are successful. Smart people should always be successful. But for children with the growth mindset, success is about practising themselves. It’s about learning to become smarter. One seventh-grade girl made a conclusion.“I think being smart is something you have to work for…it isn’t just given to you… Most kids, if they’re not sure of an answer, will not raise their hand to answer the question. But what I usually do is to raise my hand, because if I’m wrong, then my mistake will be corrected. Just by doing that I’m improving my ability.” 1．What does the writer want to tell by using the example of babies in Paragraph 2? A．Walking and talking are very difficult. B．It’s easy for babies to learn different skills. C．People are born with abilities to learn. D．Babies need to face many tasks every day. 2．Which of the following is a fixed mindset according to the passage? A．Being happy with his own growth. B．Working hard and being thirsty to learn. C．Avoiding showing how smart he is. D．Being afraid of facing different failures. 3．What does the girl mean by saying “I’m dying to solve them!”? A．She can’t wait to give herself a task to practise. B．She thinks a healthy body can help learn better. C．She believes it’s painful to solve the problems. D．She doesn’t find it difficult to finish these tasks. 4．What’s the main purpose of the passage? A．Be a good learner in babyhood. B．Stay active when facing difficulties. C．Show the importance of success. D．Make decisions and choices carefully. 【答案】1．C 2．D 3．A 4．B 【导语】本文关于成功意味着学习——还是证明你很聪明的这一话题进行了讨论。 1．细节理解题。根据“Everyone is born with an intense drive (驱动力) to learn.”可知，作者想通过这个例子来说明人天生就有学习的能力。故选C。 2．细节理解题。根据“What could put an end to this kind of learning? The fixed mindset (固定的思维模式). As soon as children become able to evaluate(评价) themselves, some of them become afraid of hard tasks. They become afraid of not being smart”什么可以终结这种学习方式？固定的思维模式。一旦孩子们能够自我评价，他们中的一些人就会害怕困难的任务。他们害怕自己不够聪明。可知，选项D“害怕面对不同的失败”属于固定的思维模式。故选D。 3．词句猜测题。根据“Children with the growth mindset—the ones who believed you could get smarter by learning—thought it was a strange choice. Why are you asking me this? Why would anyone want to keep doing the same task over and over? They chose one hard one after another. “I’m dying to solve them!” one little girl said.”“具有成长型思维模式的孩子（他们相信通过学习可以变得更聪明）认为这是一个奇怪的选择。你为什么要问我这个问题？为什么有人想一遍又一遍地重复做同样的任务？他们选择了一个又一个难题。“我快要解开它们了！”一个小女孩说。可知，女孩这样说表明她迫不及待地想给自己一个练习的任务。故选A。 4．主旨大意题。根据“I think being smart is something you have to work for…it isn’t just given to you… Most kids, if they’re not sure of an answer, will not raise their hand to answer the question. But what I usually do is to raise my hand, because if I’m wrong, then my mistake will be corrected. Just by doing that I’m improving my ability”我认为聪明是需要你努力才能做到的……聪明不是天生的……大多数孩子如果不确定答案，就不会举手回答问题。但我通常会举手，因为如果我错了，我的错误就会被纠正。只要这样做，我就在提高自己的能力。可知作者写这篇文章是为了告诉我们面对困难时要保持积极主动。故选B。 Hearing that Erin was coming for the silver wedding party, Mr. Joe and his wife got worried. “Erin the thief!” said Mr. Joe to his wife. “Anything smaller than a table, and more expensive than paper, would finally be found in his bag.” “He’s sure to come for the presents we’ve received,” added Mrs. Joe. “We can’t hide them all. How can we deal with him?” “We must keep an eye on him,” said Mr. Joe. As soon as Erin arrived, the couple started to keep a sharp lookout. After dinner, the three talked nervously from one boring topic to another in the living room. Suddenly, Erin asked, “You’ve got so many presents. Can I take a look at those pretty silk scarves?” “Only it’s annoying to have seven of them,” Mr. Joe blurted (脱口而出). Erin studied the scarves carefully, lost in thought. The couple got more anxious. After Erin went to sleep, Mrs. Joe counted the presents immediately. “I’m not sure if we’ve lost anything,” she doubted. “He must have taken something,” claimed Mr. Joe angrily. “The awful pig hasn’t brought us a present. How dare he take anything from us?” “Let’s go through his bag late at night,” Mrs. Joe suggested. The search was a short one. They found a silk scarf carefully placed in the bag. Mrs. Joe quickly picked it up and put it into her pocket. The next morning, Erin was late for breakfast. “Something’s been taken out of my bag,” he said. “It was a present I had prepared for your silver wedding, only it happened to be a scarf. You seemed annoyed at having so many, so I thought I’d get it changed, but now it’s gone.” The couple turned deadly pale. Mrs. Joe ran to the living room and surprisingly, she found their seven scarves were still there. ________ Mrs. Joe returned with Erin’s scarf. “This one is yours,” she went on. “It’s an unpleasant thing to say. Actually, we took it last night. It all started because there were some unkind words about you. It’s really shameful to go through your bag without asking.” Erin’s eyes widened as he was listening. Mrs. Joe handed the scarf to Erin. “Please take your scarf back. It’s unfair to you. Really hope you can forgive us for everything we did,” Mr. Joe said. Erin refused the scarf with a smile. “It has always been for you. Please keep it. Just want you to know that people change.” 1．What did Mr. and Mrs. Joe do before Erin arrived? A．They hid all their presents. B．They changed the date for the party. C．They told Erin to come the next week. D．They talked about how to deal with Erin. 2．What can we know from the story? A．Erin had prepared a present for the couple. B．The couple had a nice talk with Erin after dinner. C．The couple spent a lot of time checking Erin’s bag. D．Erin thought the couple was happy to have many scarves. 3．Which of the following can be put into ________ in Paragraph 14? A．She put one of the scarves into her pocket. B．She placed all the seven scarves in the bag. C．She was quite sure that Erin had lied to them. D．She realized the scarf in her pocket wasn’t theirs. 4．What’s the best title of the story? A．Don’t be quick to judge others. B．The value of a gift is not important. C．Friends should keep in touch often. D．Honesty is the best way to solve problems. 【答案】1．D 2．A 3．D 4．A 【导语】本文讲述了Joe夫妇因过去的偏见，误以为Erin会在他们的银婚派对上偷礼物，却反被自己的猜忌和不当行为打脸，最终学会放下偏见的故事。 1．文中提到“Hearing that Erin was coming for the silver wedding party, Mr. Joe and his wife got worried...‘We must keep an eye on him,’ said Mr. Joe.”，说明Erin到来前，Joe夫妇在讨论如何应对他。 2．文中Erin提到“It was a present I had prepared for your silver wedding, only it happened to be a scarf.”，说明Erin为夫妇俩准备了礼物。 3．文中空前提到“Mrs. Joe ran to the living room and surprisingly, she found their seven scarves were still there.”，结合上下文，她之前把从Erin包里拿的围巾放进了口袋，此时发现自己的围巾都在，会意识到口袋里的围巾不是他们的。 4．全文核心是Joe夫妇因偏见误解了Erin，最终发现自己错了，因此最佳标题应体现“不要急于评判他人”的主旨。 There have been over 50 World Heritage (遗产) Sites in China so far.

But in cities, many people don’t greet their neighbors, even when they are standing in line at a supermarket. A recent study shows that greeting neighbors, especially up to six people a day, is really good for you. The study has found that greeting others can make you happier. When you greet people, your happiness score (幸福指数) goes up. The magic number is six. After that, the score shows no further rise. The study was carried out last year and got replies from more than 4,000 people. It tested people’s social happiness, physical happiness, community happiness and more. People who greeted six neighbors had a much higher happiness score than those who didn’t greet anyone. You might think that saying hello is only about social happiness, but that’s not true. Regular (经常的) greetings also improve your physical and community happiness. That’s because all of these are joined together. If you feel your community is safe, it’s more possible for you to talk to people. Walking around your neighborhood can make you feel better physically. Dan Witters, the leader of the study, said, “We don’t mean that you should know the person well. Just stop and talk to them. The more people you greet, the more chances you have to start a conversation.” Remember, saying hello regularly is a good way to improve your own happiness. 1．How does the writer lead into the topic? A．By telling a story. B．By explaining the reason. C．By asking a question. D．By introducing different situations. 2．Which of the following shows the change in happiness score after people greet neighbors? A． B． C． D． 3．What can we learn from Dan Witters’ words? A．The more people you know, the happier you are. B．Saying hello may help people start a conversation. C．Nothing improves happiness more than conversations. D．Knowing people is more important than greeting them. 【答案】1．D 2．B 3．B 【导语】本文主要介绍了一项关于向邻居打招呼与个人幸福感之间关系的科学研究，指出每天向适量的邻居打招呼能够显著提升个人的幸福感。 1．第一段前两句对比了两种不同的情景：“In small villages, people often say hello to their neighbors in stores, on the streets, or outside their homes. But in cities, many people don’t greet their neighbors…”，这通过对比人们在农村和城市中对待邻居的不同交际状况，自然地导入了文章的主题。 2．第二段详细描述了打招呼人数与幸福指数之间的数量关系：“When you greet people, your happiness score goes up. The magic number is six. After that, the score shows no further rise.”，这说明在打招呼的人数达到六人之前，幸福指数呈上升趋势；在达到六人之后，幸福指数保持平稳，不再上升。图B中的折线在0至6区间呈上升趋势，在6至9区间呈水平直线，最符合该数据特征。 3．第四段引用了研究项目负责人Dan Witters的话：“…The more people you greet, the more chances you have to start a conversation.”，这直接说明了主动与更多的人打招呼、说你好，可以帮人们创造更多开始交谈和对话的机会。 You may have been told before not to be afraid of anything. Fear is often related to weakness. Fear is something to be avoided. But that’s not true, according to Time For Kids magazine. Fear can be good for us. Fear tells us about danger. Without fear, we wouldn’t know to run away from a tiger or step back from a cliff. In a study published in the Justice Quarterly journal in August, researchers from Michigan State University said that a healthy fear of crime keeps teenagers away from potentially (潜在地) dangerous people, places, and activities. Fear makes us jump, scream and sweat. But interestingly, sometimes we make ourselves feel fear on purpose. Think about scary books and movies, and also the long lines for a scary roller coaster ride. Margee Kerr, a US sociologist, explained why to Time For Kids. Fear fills our brain with healthy chemicals (化学物质), especially endorphins (内啡肽) and dopamine (多巴胺), and these things create feelings of happiness and excite us, according to Kerr. In addition, when you’re scared, your body produces a chemical which helps people bond with each other. “Watch people walking out of a haunted house (鬼屋), and you’ll see lots of smiles and high fives,” Kerr told Time For Kids. That also explains why schools and companies organize challenging trips and physical activities to build up team spirit. People experience and deal with fear in different ways. If you happen to be a “coward” who gets scared easily, don’t worry. Some studies show that being scared can help a person manage stressful situations. Kerr said that things like giving a report in front of your class or performing in a school play help build a sort of endurance (忍耐力) to fear that makes us more confident. “You become more comfortable with the physical experience of fear, and so you're better able to work through it during stressful situations,” said Kerr. So learn to love your fear. It may make us stronger. 1．Why is a scary roller coaster ride helpful to people according to the article? A．It improves people’s ability to survive in the modern world. B．It makes people less cowardly and more confident in life. C．It causes the brain to produce chemicals that make people happy and excited. D．It teaches people how to keep away from things that could be dangerous. 2．The underlined phrase “bond with” in Paragraph 8 is closest in meaning to ________. A．get closer to B．fight against C．pay attention to D．be more careful with 3．What is the right attitude toward fear according to the article? A．Avoid being involved in scary situations. B．Experience it as often as possible. C．Consider it as a sign of weakness. D．Enjoy healthy fear from time to time. 4．What’s the passage mainly about? A．People’s misunderstandings about fear. B．Different ways to deal with fear. C．The advantages that fear brings us. D．The importance of avoiding fear in daily life. 【答案】1．C 2．A 3．D 4．C 【导语】这是一篇议论文，通过多个角度的论证，打破了人们对恐惧的刻板印象，传递了一个积极的态度：我们不必一味回避恐惧，学会和恐惧相处，反而能从中获益。 1．根据文章第5段提到“scary roller coaster ride”，紧接着第7段引用Margee Kerr的解释：“Fear fills our brain with healthy chemicals... create feelings of happiness and excite us”可知可怕的过山车能让大脑产生使人快乐和兴奋的化学物质，这是其对人有帮助的原因。 2．根据第8段划线词所在句及第9段内容，文中提到人们走出鬼屋时会有“smiles and high fives”，且这解释了学校组织活动来“build up team spirit”。团队精神意味着成员间关系紧密，因此bond with意为“与……建立联系/拉近关系”，与get closer to意思最接近。 3．文章开篇指出恐惧并非完全是弱点，随后列举了恐惧的多种好处，最后一段总结道“So learn to love your fear”。结合文中提到的“healthy fear”，可知作者建议我们偶尔享受健康的恐惧，而不是完全避免或将其视为弱点。 4．通读全文可知，文章从恐惧能预警危险、产生快乐化学物质、促进人际bonding以及增强自信心等方面，详细阐述了恐惧对人类的益处。因此，文章的主要内容是关于恐惧带来的优势“The advantages that fear brings us”。 Sometimes, making someone happy is easy—just say a few words that really satisfy him. From strangers to your family and closest friends, there are many nice things we can say to them to bring a little kindness to the world. However, some people find it difficult to say something nice to others. Recently, the topic “Don’t feel ashamed to give praise” has gone popular on social media. People shared personal experiences when people felt too shy to say something nice about someone. They also expressed their worries: “What if others think my words are just flattery(奉承)?” “What if I praise someone and only get the cold shoulder?” Because of these fears, some choose to stay quiet, leaving kind words unsaid. This small habit seems harmless, but it can hide our true feelings. Little by little, we get used to keeping our praise, care and kindness deep inside. Over time, it can change our relationships and even reduce our own sense of happiness. As a result, we may start to feel distant from others. In fact, saying something nice doesn’t mean we are trying to please others against our wishes. Instead, it shows we pay attention to the strengths and efforts of those around us, and we value and respect them. A simple and sincere praise can warm someone’s heart, reduce misunderstandings (误会) and bring people together. So next time you see your friend wearing a beautiful coat, why not give him sincere praise? For example, you can focus on details like “This colour looks great on you!” or “You really have good taste in music!” These kind words not only make your friend happy but also create a pleasant feeling between you. Kind words cost nothing, but they can mean everything. 1．Why do some people find it hard to praise others? A．Because they like to keep their praise inside. B．Because they think kind words cost too much. C．Because they may praise others against wishes. D．Because they worry others will not like their words. 2．What does the phrase “cold shoulder” in Paragraph 2 probably mean? A．A polite and warm welcome. B．A shy and quiet conversation. C．A silent and unfriendly reply. D．A cold and dishonest manner. 3．The writer mentions “This colour looks great on you” as an example to show that ________. A．praise on clothing is always the perfect choice B．a simple and detailed praise can build good relationships C．a simple praise can sometimes reduce misunderstandings D．friends usually care more about their appearance than other things 4．What would be the best title of the passage? A．The Secret to True Happiness B．Why We Should Not Praise Others C．The Power of a Sincere Praise D．How to Avoid Misunderstandings 5．What is the writer’s main purpose in writing this passage? A．To explain why some people are afraid of giving praise. B．To encourage readers to express sincere praise to others. C．To tell readers how to tell flattery from true praise. D．To show that keeping kind words inside is sometimes better. 【答案】1．D 2．C 3．B 4．C 5．B 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。讲述了人们不敢真诚赞美他人的原因、负面影响，并鼓励大家勇敢表达善意与赞美。 1．文章第三段第四句、第五句“What if others think my words are just flattery?”“What if I praise someone and only get the cold shoulder?”指出，人们担心别人不喜欢自己的赞美，所以难以开口。 2．根据画线词所在句“What if I praise someone and only get the cold shoulder?”并结合该段中人们担心赞美会被视为奉承可推知，人们害怕赞美别人后得到冷淡、不友好的回应，因此“cold shoulder”意为“沉默而不友好的回应”。 3．文章第六段“A simple and sincere praise can warm someone’s heart... create a pleasant feeling between you.”指出，作者举这个例子是为了说明简单而具体的赞美可以增进人际关系。 4．通读全文，文章开头指出赞美很容易，接着分析人们不敢赞美的原因及其负面影响，然后指出真诚赞美的价值并鼓励读者表达赞美。全文围绕“真诚赞美的力量”展开。 5．根据第六段中的“So next time you see your friend wearing a beautiful coat, why not give him sincere praise?”以及最后一段“Kind words cost nothing, but they can mean everything.”可知，作者的主要目的是鼓励读者向他人表达真诚的赞美。 四、选词填空 请根据短文内容，从下面方框中选择适当的单词或短语填空，使短文内容完整正确。 when   common   decide   share   pay for Paying the bill is also different from country to country.

In a Ted Talk, psychologist Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi said he had found the answer: flow (心流). Flow is the experience of being fully lost in a certain task. Csikszentmihalyi described it in his Ted Talk as an exciting feeling which happens naturally. He says “Flow is an ideal state (状态) of mind where every part of the mind and body work together towards one purpose. Then we feel our best and we do our best.” People can get into a flow state when doing “just about anything”, he adds. After interviewing a lot of people who said they had experienced the flow, Csikszentmihalyi found five conditions in flow states: · Forgetting about time   · Having a sense of excitement · Knowing exactly what you want   · Getting feedback (反馈) on what you are doing right now · Knowing your purpose can be achieved, even if (即使) it is difficult A flow state sounds lovely. So ________? “It is impossible to decide when to get into flow.” says Norsworthy, a leader of Flow Center. But we can get more chances to experience it, he adds. The key to entering a flow state is choosing a proper task according to your ability and skills. A task that doesn’t need much skill, like washing the clothes, may lead to little interest. A task with great difficulty where one doesn’t have the needed skill may make people nervous. However, if a task is difficult and we have the skills necessary to finish it, there’s higher chance for us to experience flow. Norsworthy talks about his running practice. “When I first got started, it was not a flow state at all,” he says. As he practised more, he began to achieve a flow state. However, he also mentions that there are some actions that may stop you getting into a flow state. Knowing how to avoid these actions is important. 1．How did Csikszentmihalyi find the conditions of flow? A．By doing some science tests. B．By reading books about happiness. C．By talking about flow in his Ted Talk. D．By asking people about their experiences. 2．Which of the following shows a person is in a flow state? A．When I am reading interesting books, I have no sense of time. B．When I am doing a task, I don’t know what I should do next. C．When I am in a football team, I find myself less important. D．When I finish a task, my teacher doesn’t give me his opinion. 3．Which is the most suitable for the blank ________? A．why is flow state so important B．when do you enter a flow state C．how do you achieve a flow state D．what is a flow state 4．What may the writer talk about next? A．The usages of flow. B．The killers of flow. C．The examples of flow. D．The activities of flow. In the centre of the busy city, where skyscrapers kissed the clouds and people hurried about, there was a small park. It was an island of peace in the city center, a place where I, a high school boy, often went to after school. One sunny afternoon, as I sat on a bench, my attention was drawn to a street performer preparing his act. He was a middle-aged man with a warm smile and eyes that shone with courage mixed with life’s wisdom. Placing his hat on the ground, he began to play the violin, each note filled with sad beauty that seemed to tell tales of his life’s journey. I watched as the crowd passed by, most too preoccupied (心事重重) with their own thoughts to notice the soulful melodies that surrounded them. Suddenly, a coin would clink into the hat, but for the most part, the performer was overlooked. Coming close to him when he took a break, I asked, “Don’t you ever feel disheartened when people don’t stop to listen?” He looked at me with a gentle smile and replied. “Disheartened? Yes; there are moments. But I tell myself that my music is a personal expression, not just a performance for others.” “Is it the money that keeps you going?” I asked, looking at the collection in his hat. He smiled, “The money is not bad, but it’s not the driving force. I play because I’m crazy about music. Every note I make is part of me that I share with the world. Whether anyone listens or not, I stay true to my love for the art.” His words struck a chord (和音) within me. Here was a person who is indifference (冷漠) of the world, but hold on to his pursuit (追求) of happiness. It was a powerful lesson in endurance (忍耐力) and self-worth. As the sun set, painting the sky orange and pink, he continued his playing. This time, I listened with new ears. The music was no longer just a melody; it was the strength and spirit of humanity. When it was finally time for me to head home, I placed a coin in his hat, not only as an act of charity, but as a respect for a man who had taught me a valuable life lesson: to follow one’s passion bravely even without an audience. 1．What did the park mean to the writer in the story? A．It was where he enjoyed music. B．It was where he relaxed after school. C．It was where he met the street performer.

D．The park was too noisy for them to hear the music. 3．What does the word “disheartened” in Paragraph 4 most likely mean? A．Excited about performing. B．Sad and losing confidence. C．Angry at others. D．Tired from playing. 4．What did the boy learn from the street performer? A．People should keep doing what you love even if no one watches. B．Money is necessary for artists to survive. C．Music can express personal stories beautifully. D．Busy city life makes people turn blind to art. In Paralympic Sports (残奥会), many blind or nearly blind athletes race (比赛) with the help of a guide. These pairs work very closely together. Jerusa Geber is a runner who lost her sight as a teenager. When she races with her guide Garcia, he runs to her left. They each hold one end of a short rope. If they’ve started well, he matches her speed bit by bit, but with the opposite foot. They work so well together that Jerusa now holds the women’s world record in the 100-meter race for blind or nearly blind athletes. Since 2012, guides in the Paralympics can win medals too. But the teamwork is about more than just winning. Garcia is a runner himself. “I like being a guide.” he said. “I feel more pressure (压力) at the Paralympics. I have to give 200% of myself to avoid mistakes and help my teammate do her best.” In cycling, Hannah Chadwick and her guide, Skyler Espinoza, also work closely. When they ride together, Espinoza always holds Chadwick’s hand before starting. “It’s a reminder (提示) that we’re in this together.” Espinoza said. Chadwick and Espinoza follow the same training plan. Sometimes, when the training gets hard, Chadwick thinks of her teammate. “I’m not training just for myself.” she said. “I’m training for both of us!” People sometimes say Espinoza is making a sacrifice (牺牲) for a disabled athlete. But she doesn’t see it that way. Espinoza believes that if she hadn’t been a Paralympic guide, she would never have shone so much in sports. “I’m lucky that Hannah chose me to do this, just as I chose to do it with her.” she said. 1．How does Garcia help the blind athlete Jerusa Geber? A．He walks in front of her to show the path. B．He runs behind her and shouts directions. C．He rides a bicycle next to her to guide the way. D．He holds a rope, running beside her with the opposite foot. 2．Which of the following words best describes the guides in the Paralympics? A．Crazy. B．Generous. C．Brave. D．Humorous. 3．What’s the best title for the text? A．Winning Together B．How to Become a Great Guide C．Special Help for Athletes D．The Hard Life of Paralympic Athletes Though Sylvia had grown up among tall buildings and busy streets, she had recently found herself more at home in the Maine countryside, where she had come to help her aging grandmother. She let the cow out to walk in the nearby fields every morning and led it back home in the evenings, staying with the woods and her animal neighbours every day. One evening, when Sylvia walked back home from the fields, she saw a stranger coming out of the forest. When the man reached her, he explained that he was quite interested in collecting rare birds and was searching for the white heron (苍鹭) nested (筑巢) in the area according to his book. He asked if he could stay at her house. Though Sylvia was a little bit worried, she led him to her grandmother. Over dinner, Sylvia’s grandmother told the man how her son had loved making friends with animals while he enjoyed living in the wild and that Sylvia was just the same. On hearing the news, the man offered Sylvia a lot of money to help him find the white heron, telling that he planned to shoot (打猎) and put it into his collection. Sylvia knew her grandmother had little savings, so she accepted. The next day, Sylvia and the man searched the forest for the white heron, but they came back empty-handed. At first, Sylvia was afraid of the man’s shooting and collection plan. With some time passing by, she was surprised to find that he was a person with a warm heart and rich knowledge of birds. The two led the cow home together in the afternoon. Just before bed, Sylvia remembered that one tree in the forest stood taller than the rest. If she managed to climb it, she would surely find the heron’s nest below. The thought made her so excited that she couldn’t sleep. She finally got out of house in the early morning to find the heron before the man awoke. Reaching the top of the tree was a success in itself, but nothing was more amazing than the moment Sylvia truly saw the heron. High as a bird, she felt she and the heron were one, and she suddenly realized she couldn’t be part of its death. The man was waiting for her when she returned home, but she refused to help him any longer. Later, Sylvia wondered whether giving up the money—and the man’s friendship—was really worth (值得) the heron’s life, but the treasures she might have gained were easily forgotten among the beauty of the wild. —Synopsis(摘要) of A White Heron by Sarah Orne Jewett 1．Which of the following can best describe Sylvia and the bird collector?

Benjamin once said, “I don’t divide (分) the world into the weak and the strong, or the successes and the failures. I divide the world into the learners and nonlearners.” What would make someone a nonlearner? Everyone is born with an intense drive (驱动力) to learn. Babies practise their skills daily, even the most difficult tasks of a lifetime, like learning to walk and talk. They never think it’s too hard. Babies don’t worry about making mistakes. They walk, they fall and they get up. They just move forward. What could put an end to this kind of learning? The fixed mindset (固定的思维模式). As soon as children become able to evaluate(评价) themselves, some of them become afraid of hard tasks. They become afraid of not being smart. I have studied thousands of students, and you can’t believe how many people refuse a chance to learn. We offered four-year-olds a choice (选择): They could red o an easy task or they could try a harder one. Even at this age, children with the fixed mindset—stuck with the safe one. Children with the growth mindset—the ones who believed you could get smarter by learning—thought it was a strange choice. Why are you asking me this? Why would anyone want to keep doing the same task over and over? They chose one hard one after another. “I’m dying to solve them!” one little girl said. So children with the fixed mindset want to make sure they are successful. Smart people should always be successful. But for children with the growth mindset, success is about practising themselves. It’s about learning to become smarter. One seventh-grade girl made a conclusion.“I think being smart is something you have to work for…it isn’t just given to you… Most kids, if they’re not sure of an answer, will not raise their hand to answer the question. But what I usually do is to raise my hand, because if I’m wrong, then my mistake will be corrected. Just by doing that I’m improving my ability.” 1．What does the writer want to tell by using the example of babies in Paragraph 2? A．Walking and talking are very difficult. B．It’s easy for babies to learn different skills. C．People are born with abilities to learn. D．Babies need to face many tasks every day. 2．Which of the following is a fixed mindset according to the passage? A．Being happy with his own growth. B．Working hard and being thirsty to learn. C．Avoiding showing how smart he is. D．Being afraid of facing different failures. 3．What does the girl mean by saying “I’m dying to solve them!”? A．She can’t wait to give herself a task to practise. B．She thinks a healthy body can help learn better. C．She believes it’s painful to solve the problems. D．She doesn’t find it difficult to finish these tasks. 4．What’s the main purpose of the passage? A．Be a good learner in babyhood. B．Stay active when facing difficulties. C．Show the importance of success. D．Make decisions and choices carefully. Hearing that Erin was coming for the silver wedding party, Mr. Joe and his wife got worried. “Erin the thief!” said Mr. Joe to his wife. “Anything smaller than a table, and more expensive than paper, would finally be found in his bag.” “He’s sure to come for the presents we’ve received,” added Mrs. Joe. “We can’t hide them all. How can we deal with him?” “We must keep an eye on him,” said Mr. Joe. As soon as Erin arrived, the couple started to keep a sharp lookout. After dinner, the three talked nervously from one boring topic to another in the living room. Suddenly, Erin asked, “You’ve got so many presents. Can I take a look at those pretty silk scarves?” “Only it’s annoying to have seven of them,” Mr. Joe blurted (脱口而出). Erin studied the scarves carefully, lost in thought. The couple got more anxious. After Erin went to sleep, Mrs. Joe counted the presents immediately. “I’m not sure if we’ve lost anything,” she doubted. “He must have taken something,” claimed Mr. Joe angrily. “The awful pig hasn’t brought us a present. How dare he take anything from us?” “Let’s go through his bag late at night,” Mrs. Joe suggested. The search was a short one. They found a silk scarf carefully placed in the bag. Mrs. Joe quickly picked it up and put it into her pocket. The next morning, Erin was late for breakfast. “Something’s been taken out of my bag,” he said. “It was a present I had prepared for your silver wedding, only it happened to be a scarf. You seemed annoyed at having so many, so I thought I’d get it changed, but now it’s gone.” The couple turned deadly pale. Mrs. Joe ran to the living room and surprisingly, she found their seven scarves were still there. ________ Mrs. Joe returned with Erin’s scarf. “This one is yours,” she went on. “It’s an unpleasant thing to say. Actually, we took it last night. It all started because there were some unkind words about you. It’s really shameful to go through your bag without asking.” Erin’s eyes widened as he was listening. Mrs. Joe handed the scarf to Erin. “Please take your scarf back. It’s unfair to you. Really hope you can forgive us for everything we did,” Mr. Joe said. Erin refused the scarf with a smile. “It has always been for you. Please keep it. Just want you to know that people change.” 1．What did Mr. and Mrs. Joe do before Erin arrived?

In small villages, people often say hello to their neighbors in stores, on the streets, or outside their homes. But in cities, many people don’t greet their neighbors, even when they are standing in line at a supermarket. A recent study shows that greeting neighbors, especially up to six people a day, is really good for you. The study has found that greeting others can make you happier. When you greet people, your happiness score (幸福指数) goes up. The magic number is six. After that, the score shows no further rise. The study was carried out last year and got replies from more than 4,000 people. It tested people’s social happiness, physical happiness, community happiness and more. People who greeted six neighbors had a much higher happiness score than those who didn’t greet anyone. You might think that saying hello is only about social happiness, but that’s not true. Regular (经常的) greetings also improve your physical and community happiness. That’s because all of these are joined together. If you feel your community is safe, it’s more possible for you to talk to people. Walking around your neighborhood can make you feel better physically. Dan Witters, the leader of the study, said, “We don’t mean that you should know the person well. Just stop and talk to them. The more people you greet, the more chances you have to start a conversation.” Remember, saying hello regularly is a good way to improve your own happiness. 1．How does the writer lead into the topic? A．By telling a story. B．By explaining the reason. C．By asking a question. D．By introducing different situations. 2．Which of the following shows the change in happiness score after people greet neighbors? A． B． C． D． 3．What can we learn from Dan Witters’ words? A．The more people you know, the happier you are. B．Saying hello may help people start a conversation. C．Nothing improves happiness more than conversations. D．Knowing people is more important than greeting them. You may have been told before not to be afraid of anything. Fear is often related to weakness. Fear is something to be avoided. But that’s not true, according to Time For Kids magazine. Fear can be good for us. Fear tells us about danger. Without fear, we wouldn’t know to run away from a tiger or step back from a cliff. In a study published in the Justice Quarterly journal in August, researchers from Michigan State University said that a healthy fear of crime keeps teenagers away from potentially (潜在地) dangerous people, places, and activities. Fear makes us jump, scream and sweat. But interestingly, sometimes we make ourselves feel fear on purpose. Think about scary books and movies, and also the long lines for a scary roller coaster ride. Margee Kerr, a US sociologist, explained why to Time For Kids. Fear fills our brain with healthy chemicals (化学物质), especially endorphins (内啡肽) and dopamine (多巴胺), and these things create feelings of happiness and excite us, according to Kerr. In addition, when you’re scared, your body produces a chemical which helps people bond with each other. “Watch people walking out of a haunted house (鬼屋), and you’ll see lots of smiles and high fives,” Kerr told Time For Kids. That also explains why schools and companies organize challenging trips and physical activities to build up team spirit. People experience and deal with fear in different ways. If you happen to be a “coward” who gets scared easily, don’t worry. Some studies show that being scared can help a person manage stressful situations. Kerr said that things like giving a report in front of your class or performing in a school play help build a sort of endurance (忍耐力) to fear that makes us more confident. “You become more comfortable with the physical experience of fear, and so you're better able to work through it during stressful situations,” said Kerr. So learn to love your fear. It may make us stronger. 1．Why is a scary roller coaster ride helpful to people according to the article? A．It improves people’s ability to survive in the modern world. B．It makes people less cowardly and more confident in life. C．It causes the brain to produce chemicals that make people happy and excited. D．It teaches people how to keep away from things that could be dangerous. 2．The underlined phrase “bond with” in Paragraph 8 is closest in meaning to ________. A．get closer to B．fight against C．pay attention to D．be more careful with 3．What is the right attitude toward fear according to the article? A．Avoid being involved in scary situations. B．Experience it as often as possible. C．Consider it as a sign of weakness. D．Enjoy healthy fear from time to time. 4．What’s the passage mainly about? A．People’s misunderstandings about fear. B．Different ways to deal with fear. C．The advantages that fear brings us. D．The importance of avoiding fear in daily life. Sometimes, making someone happy is easy—just say a few words that really satisfy him. From strangers to your family and closest friends, there are many nice things we can say to them to bring a little kindness to the world. However, some people find it difficult to say something nice to others. Recently, the topic “Don’t feel ashamed to give praise” has gone popular on social media. People shared personal experiences when people felt too shy to say something nice about someone. They also expressed their worries: “What if others think my words are just flattery(奉承)?” “What if I praise someone and only get the cold shoulder?” Because of these fears, some choose to stay quiet, leaving kind words unsaid. This small habit seems harmless, but it can hide our true feelings. Little by little, we get used to keeping our praise, care and kindness deep inside. Over time, it can change our relationships and even reduce our own sense of happiness. As a result, we may start to feel distant from others. In fact, saying something nice doesn’t mean we are trying to please others against our wishes. Instead, it shows we pay attention to the strengths and efforts of those around us, and we value and respect them. A simple and sincere praise can warm someone’s heart, reduce misunderstandings (误会) and bring people together. So next time you see your friend wearing a beautiful coat, why not give him sincere praise? For example, you can focus on details like “This colour looks great on you!” or “You really have good taste in music!” These kind words not only make your friend happy but also create a pleasant feeling between you. Kind words cost nothing, but they can mean everything. 1．Why do some people find it hard to praise others? A．Because they like to keep their praise inside. B．Because they think kind words cost too much. C．Because they may praise others against wishes. D．Because they worry others will not like their words. 2．What does the phrase “cold shoulder” in Paragraph 2 probably mean? A．A polite and warm welcome. B．A shy and quiet conversation. C．A silent and unfriendly reply. D．A cold and dishonest manner. 3．The writer mentions “This colour looks great on you” as an example to show that ________. A．praise on clothing is always the perfect choice B．a simple and detailed praise can build good relationships C．a simple praise can sometimes reduce misunderstandings D．friends usually care more about their appearance than other things 4．What would be the best title of the passage? A．The Secret to True Happiness B．Why We Should Not Praise Others C．The Power of a Sincere Praise D．How to Avoid Misunderstandings 5．What is the writer’s main purpose in writing this passage? A．To explain why some people are afraid of giving praise. B．To encourage readers to express sincere praise to others. C．To tell readers how to tell flattery from true praise. D．To show that keeping kind words inside is sometimes better. 四、选词填空 请根据短文内容，从下面方框中选择适当的单词或短语填空，使短文内容完整正确。 when   common   decide   share   pay for Paying the bill is also different from country to country.
