They don’t know how to start the conversation again if they don’t talk with their friends for a long time. Many people want to get in touch with old friends, but they are afraid to do so. Psychologists (心理学家) from colleges did a study about how people feel about getting in touch with old friends. The study shows over 90% of the people don’t call their old friends. 70% of them don’t want to call their friends first, because they worry that their old friends won’t want to hear from them and maybe their old friends are too busy to talk with them. Some people even think getting in touch with their old friends is as hard as talking to strange people. Lara Aknin, one of the psychologists, said, “Most people are worried that they have different lifestyles and interests now. But these differences can be helpful for people to get close to each other. After sharing something new and interesting, they won’t feel embarrassed (尴尬的) at all. Instead, they know each other better.” In fact, if you get in touch with an old friend, you will be surprised to find that he or she is also looking forward to hearing from you. So, why not give your old friend a call? 29. How does the writer start the passage? A. By telling a story. B. By giving a fact. C. By asking a question. D. By listing numbers. 30. Why don’t most people want to call their old friends first? A. Because they worry about their old friends. B. Because they almost forget their old friends. C. Because they don’t care about their old friends. D. Because they have nothing to say to their old friends. 31. What can we learn from Lara Aknin’s words? A. It’s hard to get in touch with old friends. B. We can’t share our things with old friends. C. Differences may help people get close to old friends. D. Most people might have different lifestyles and interests. 32. What does the writer want to tell us? A. It’s important to have some good friends. B. Be brave to get in touch with your old friends. C. We should make as many new friends as possible. D. Make friends with people having the same interest. C Do you yawn (打哈欠)? There are about 20 reasons that scientists think are possible for yawning after research. They do not know exactly why yawning happens, but they do know many facts about yawning. We know that everyone yawns in the same way. First you open your mouth slowly. Your mouth stays open for about five seconds. You take in a lot of air and then push it out. Then you quickly close your mouth. We also know that yawning is contagious. When you see someone yawn, you yawn, too. Many people say they yawn because they are bored or tired. That might be true. People do often yawn before they sleep and after they wake up. However, we know that people also yawn when they are excited or nervous. Olympic runners, for example, often yawn before a race. Why is that? In 2007, scientists found that a yawn can help a warm brain cool down. Some scientists believe that yawning makes you notice things more quickly. When you yawn, you breathe deeply. You also stretch (拉伸) the muscles (肌肉) in your face, mouth, and neck. Your eardrums stretch, too. Maybe this helps you to be quicker to notice things. In some countries, people think yawning is not nice. People put their hands over their mouths to cover a yawn. In other countries, people think yawning is healthy. They think that opening the mouth very big can let good things in. When they breathe out, they think that bad things go out of the body with the air. Scientists do not spend much time studying yawning. That is probably because yawning does not hurt. It is just something we do. 33. What does the underlined word “contagious” in paragraph 2 probably mean? A. able to spread quickly. B. able to breathe easily. C. able to change easily. D. able to sleep quickly. 34. Olympic runners often yawn before a race because ________. A. a yawn can let good things in B. they are too tired or too bored C. a yawn can help a warm brain cool down D. a yawn can stretch the muscles in their faces 35. What is the main idea of paragraph 5? A. Reasons for yawning. B. Advantages of yawning. C. Disadvantages of yawning. D. Different ideas about yawning. 36. What would be the best structure of the passage? A. B. C. D. D The next day was also cold and grey. Nobody talked much during breakfast. Mrs March was pale and tired. The girls tried to hide their tears. Then Mr Brooke arrived with the carriage and it was time for Mrs March to leave. She kissed her daughters one by one and said, “Keep busy, my dears, and never lose hope!” “Yes, Mother.” “Meg, look after your sisters. If you need help, ask Hannah or Mr Laurence. Jo, be patient and cheerful, and write to me often. Beth and Amy, help with the housework and be obedient (顺从的).” “Yes. Mother! Don’t worry!” She got into the carriage and opened the window. “Goodbye, my dears!” she called as it drove away. The girls waved their hands cheerfully until the carriage turned the corner. Then with sad faces and heavy hearts, they went back inside. “The house seems very empty now,” said Meg. “Our motto is ‘Hope and keep busy’”, said Jo brightly. She was trying to forget how sad she was feeling. “So I’m going to go and see Aunt March. What about you, Meg?” “I’m going to teach the King children,” replied Meg. “And Amy and I are going to help Hannah with the housework,” said Beth. “I think anxiety (焦虑) is very interesting,” Amy said seriously. Her words made her sisters laugh, and they all started to feel a little better. For a week the girls kept to her motto and worked hard. Then Jo got a bad cold, and had to stay at home. She didn’t mind this at all because she didn’t like going to Aunt March’s. She was happy to lie on the sofa all day with her books and medicine. Amy got bored with doing housework so she took out her pencils and drawing book again. Meg went to teach the King children every day, and sewed. She spent the rest of her time writing long letters to her mother and reading the letters from Mr Brooke. Only Beth continued to look after the house. She did her own jobs and her sister’s jobs too. She never complained. And every day she took some food to the Hummel family. 37. Why did the girls wave their hands cheerfully? A. Because they really felt happy at that time. B. Because they didn’t want their mother to worry about them. C. Because they were happy to see Mr Brooke leave their home. D. Because they thought they would be free to do whatever they wanted. 38. Which is the RIGHT order of the following events in the passage? ①The girls waved their hands cheerfully. ②Jo got a bad cold and had to stay at home. ③Mrs March kissed her daughters one by one. ④The girls went back inside with sad faces and heavy hearts. A. ③④①② B. ④②①③ C. ③①④② D. ④③①② 39. What can we infer (推断) from the passage? A. Beth is a kind and hard-working girl. B. The girls forgot the motto after a week. C. The house was empty after Mrs March left. D. Jo stayed at home because she had a bad cold. 40. Which is the passage mainly about? A. Human and nature. B. War and peace. C. Interest and hobbies. D. Family and love. 第二节（共5小题；每小题1分，满分5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 There are some skills for students to listen to the teacher in class, which means you’ re going to have to practice it.
