A
If you’re new to a school or you are shy or tend to not get out of your comfort zone, making new friends at school might seem like a challenge. Luckily, you can overcome that challenge by looking for people with the same interests as you and by being friendly when you meet new people. Also, participate in after-school clubs and events whenever you get the chance, since that will help you meet people outside of class!
Look for people who have the same hobbies as you.
You’re more likely to be friends with someone if you have something in common with them. Try to find clubs or groups based on your favorite hobbies, then join them to meet like-minded people. Also, pay attention to people who spend their free time doing the same things you love to do.
If you’re a passionate reader, join a book club, go to public readings, or start a conversation with someone who carries novels around with their textbooks.
Spend time around people who show kindness.
Finding someone who will treat you well and support you is more important than popularity. Avoid spending time with people who talk bad about others or put them down. Instead, look for people who invite others to sit with them at lunch, who encourage others when they speak up in class, or who are always willing to help when someone needs a hand.
Introduce yourself to new people whenever possible.
When you’re around someone you don’t know, it is not unusual to just sit there quietly, especially if you’re shy. However, you and the other person will both be more comfortable after a simple introduction. Make eye contact with the person, smile, and try to seem warm and relaxed instead of nervous or anxious. Then, break the ice by talking about whatever is going on around you.
Keep the conversation going with open-ended questions.
When you start talking to someone, try asking them questions about what they like to see what you have in common with them. However, avoid simply asking yes or no questions, since one-word answers don’t necessarily keep a conversation alive. You can ask questions about whatever you’re already talking about, or you can change the subject if you feel that ran its course.
36. Who is the passage intended for?
A. Teachers. B. Students. C. Parents. D. Adults.
37. If you are fond of reading, you can ________.
A. join a club to make friends
B. approach people with lots of hobbies
C. spend your free time meeting different people
D. talk to people with the same interests
38. According to Paragraph 4, who is more likely to be a good friend?
A. One who enjoys the popularity.
B. One who talks bad about others.
C. One who wants to help you.
D. One who always put others down.
39. According to Paragraph 5, what should you do first when you meet someone you don’t know well?
A. Start with a warm handshake.
B. Make eye contact with the person.
C. Start with a brief introduction of yourself.
D. Start by talking about a serious topic.
40. You should avoid asking yes or no questions to ________.
A. keep the conversation going B. end the conversation
C. show kindness D. respect others
【答案】36. B 37. D 38. C 39. C 40. A

细节理解题。根据文章第六段“However, avoid simply asking yes or no questions, since one-word answers don’t necessarily keep a conversation alive.(然而，避免简单地问‘是’或‘否’的问题，因为一个词的回答不一定能让对话保持活力。)”可知，避免问“是”或“否”的问题是为了让交谈继续进行下去。故选A项。
B
Eight months after my father died, I saw some letters on top of my mother’s coffee table. They were tied with a silk ribbon and addressed to her decades ago in my father’s neat handwriting. I couldn’t imagine my serious father ever writing anything like love letters.
“Would you like me to read them to you?” Mom asked with a hint of a smile.
The letters were written in 1974 over the course of a month when my father traveled to Italy to care for his beloved, sick mother, leaving his wife and me, their newborn daughter, behind in Toronto, the city my parents called home after immigrating to Canada from Italy in 1956.
Growing up, my father was my hero and protector, but he was also a man of few words, part of a generation of immigrant men who worked hard for a better life.
I sat back while my mother read his letters to me, and thought, “Who is this guy?” My father used endearing terms I had never heard him say. He referred to my mother as “my dearesr” and “my companion” who was always in his thoughts. In each letter, he enclosed a Canadian one-dollar bill for me and declared, “You and your mother are my life.”
As children, we assume we know everything about our parents. But, sometimes, we find out that they were and are people with various facets.
My father was proud and stubborn, and he married a woman who was his equal in that regard. During their 58-year marriage, their stubbornness often led to conflict. So it was bittersweet to hear my father’s youthful sentiments read aloud by my elderly mother with a wistful (留恋的) tone. I knew she was thinking about what could have been and what had been once upon a time. After she finished reading the letters, I held them in my hands and examined them like they were fossils. Although a man I knew as economical with his thoughts, he had filled the front and back of several pages.
These letters are only part of their correspondence. My mother wrote back to my father. One day she will read those letters to me, she’s assured me. And just as with my father, they might help me discover another dimension of a parent I never knew before.
41. What kind of person did the author think her father was?
A. Optimistic. B. Reserved. C. Sensitive. D. Romantic.
42. What can we know about the author’s family?
A. Her mother was the family’s provider.
B. She didn’t get on well with her father.
C. Her parents were emigrants to Italy.
D. Her parents shared similar personalities.
43. What does the underlined word “facets” in paragraph 6 most probably mean?
A. Interests. B. Ideas. C. Sides. D. Possibilities.
44. How did the author feel when she heard the words in the letters?
A. Surprised. B. Awkward. C. Thrilled. D. Heartbroken.
45. What did the author find out about her father through the letters?
A. He was good at hiding his feelings.
B. He regretted not being with his family.
C. He was a loving husband and father.
D. He was stubborn from the inside out.
【答案】41. B 42. D 43. C 44. A 45. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者通过父亲写给母亲的信了解到了父亲温情的一面。
【41题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段的“I couldn’t imagine my serious father ever writing anything like love letters.(我无法想象我严肃的父亲会写情书之类的东西)”和第四段的“Growing up, my father was my hero and protector, but he was also a man of few words(在我的成长过程中，父亲是我的英雄和保护者，但他也是一个沉默寡言的人)”可推知，作者认为自己的父亲是一个保守的人，不善言辞，也不可能给母亲写情书之类的东西。故选B。
【42题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段的“My father was proud and stubborn, and he married a woman who was his equal in that regard. (我父亲既骄傲又固执，他娶了一个在这方面和他不相上下的女人)”可知，作者的父母性格相似。故选D。
【43题详解】
词句猜测题。根据倒数第三段“As children, we assume we know everything about our parents. But, sometimes, we find out that they were and are people with various facets.(作为孩子，我们自以为知道父母的一切。但有时，我们会发现他们过去是，现在也是有着不同facets的人)”和最后一段的“And just as with my father, they might help me discover another dimension of a parent I never knew before.(就像我父亲一样，他们可能会帮助我发现我以前不知道的父母的另一个方面)”可知，facet与dimension的意思相近，即“方面，侧面”。划线部分是指当孩子了解父母后，会发现他们是有着不同侧面的人。故选C。

Hearing aids usually bring to mind images of ugly, ineffective devices mainly worn by the elderly. But this ill repute is quickly changing, as they’ve recently taken a turn thanks to two innovators, Dr. Marco Vietor and Paul Crusius, who now lead the fastest-growing hearing aid company in the world—hear.com.
Hear.com’s years of research led to the development of two game-changing hearing aids—the Silk and Styletto. These impressive devices pack cutting-edge technology in designs that are practically invisible. They also use a unique way that has been clinically proven to deliver better-than-normal hearing so you can clearly understand speech in any environment. With additional features like Bluetooth and rechargeability, today’s hearing aids are attracting even younger customers skilled in tech.
But hear.com knows it’s not just about tech and design. They’ve put an enormous effort into the entire experience to make hearing care more accessible and more affordable. “Everyone should be able to hear well to live well,” Crusius says. “And it’s very individual. Each person’s hearing loss is different and requires a personalized approach to find the best solution.”
“We hear with our brains, not our ears. And it takes at least 30 days for our brain to adjust and relearn how to hear again with new hearing aids,” Dr. Vietor says. “To guarantee your best outcome with hearing aids, we developed the industry’s first 30-day program, Hearing Success Program, so customers have that extra level of care and knowledge to succeed.”
And it’s working. Hear.com has now helped more than 100,000 customers improve their hearing. Their A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau and 5-star rating on the customer review platform, Trustpilot, speaks for itself.
Hear.com’s “never corporate” and “customer first” approach also helps drive the company’s success, encouraging employees to act like owners and put customers first. “We’re investing heavily in shaping our company culture,” Crusius says. “Individuals who work at hear.com say they are here to do more than a job. They’re helping change lives all around the world.”

History is full of cases where dreams have been a pathway to creativity and discovery. A striking example is provided by Dr. Otto Loewi, a pharmacologist and winner of a Nobel Prize. Loewi had spent years studying the chemical transmission of nerve impulses (脉搏). A great breakthrough in his research came when he dreamed of an experiment three nights in a row. The first two nights he woke up and wrote down the experiment quickly and untidily on paper. But the next morning, he couldn’t tell what the notes meant. On the third night, he got up after having the dream. This time, instead of making notes he went straight to his laboratory and performed the important experiment. Loewi later said that if the experiment had occurred to him while awake he would have rejected it.
Loewi’s experiment gives some insight into using dreams to produce creative solutions. Nervous feelings are reduced while you are dreaming, which may be especially useful in solving problems that require a fresh point of view.
Being able to take advantage of dreams for solving is improved if you “set” yourself before retiring. Before you go to bed, try to think intently about a problem you wish to solve. Bury yourself in the problem by stating it clearly and reviewing all relevant information. Then use the suggestions listed in the previous section to catch your dreams. Although this method is not guaranteed to produce a novel solution or a new insight, it is certain to be an adventure. About half of a group of college students using the method for a week recalled a dream that helped them solve a personal problem.
51. The main idea of this passage is that ________.
A. very little is really known about the meaning of dreams
B. it is possible to “catch” one’s dreams by planning before going to sleep
C. dreams can be useful in producing creative solutions to one’s problems
D. Loewi’s experiment helped in the study of transmission of nerve impulses
52. The first paragraph is mainly organized by ________.
A. classifying types of experiments
B. summarizing the work of one researcher
C. comparing and exploring historical cases
D. telling in time order about one man’s research
53. If Loewi had thought of the experiment while awake, he would have ________.
A. taken it seriously B. thought it was a ridiculous idea
C. tested it D. doubted it
54. The author probably thinks that ________.
A. dreaming is a better way than taking notes in scientific research
B. if we want to be creative, we must make use of our dreams
C. nervous feelings may stop someone thinking of useful ideas
D. dreaming is surely a good way to produce a new solution.
55. The underlined word “retiring” in the third paragraph most probably means ________.
A. going to sleep B. giving up your job C. having a break D. thinking of a solution
【答案】51. C 52. D 53. B 54. C 55. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇议论文。文章讲述了历史上有很多例子表明，梦是通向创造力和发现的途径。
【51题详解】

推理判断题。根据文章第一段“The first two nights”、“the next morning”和“On the third night”可知，本段以时间顺序为线索，详细介绍了Dr. Otto Loewi在做研究时因三次梦境而成功解决了问题。故选D。
【53题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Loewi later said that if the experiment had occurred to him while awake he would have rejected it.(洛伊后来说，如果他在醒着的时候想到这个实验，他会拒绝的。)”可知，如果洛伊是在醒着的时候想到这个实验的，他会认为这是一个可笑的想法。故选B。
54题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第二段“Nervous feelings are reduced while you are dreaming, which may be especially useful in solving problems that require a fresh point of view.( 当你做梦时，紧张的感觉会减少，这在解决需要新鲜观点的问题时可能特别有用。)”可推知，作者可能认为紧张的感觉可能会阻止人们思考有用的想法。故选C。
【55题详解】
词句猜测题。根据下文“Before you go to bed, try to think intently about a problem you wish to solve.(在你上床睡觉之前，试着专注地思考一个你想要解决的问题。)”可知，如果你在睡觉前把自己“定下来”，那么利用梦想解决问题的能力就会提高。retiring意为“睡觉”。故选A。

Too Far Away from It All?
A TV series in England, Away from It All, has surprised everyone by becoming a huge success with young people.
Its success is surprising because its main character is a shepherd (牧羊人), and the series is about the relaxing lifestyles of people who live in the country. There is none of the action that we usually see on TV. There are also no stressful moments, busy offices, or crowded cities. Away From It All is set in the peaceful English countryside and tells simple stories of people’s kindness
The director of the series says its success is a sign of teenagers suffering from stress. He says that watching Away from It All helps teenagers forget about the pressures of exams and homework, and the troubles that fill the world. He also claims that it’s a good sign that today’s youth are switching to happier TV series, as it shows they would like a happier and healthier life.
Although the series’ success might have a good side, many teachers and parents are worried. They say that some of their students and children are becoming couch potatoes (电视迷) and are using Away from It All as an excuse for not completing homework. Some students have even refused to study for exams because they say that they can only achieve happiness by avoiding stressful situations completely.
One mother, Lucy Linney, said of her son Patrick, “Before he started watching Away from it All, he loved challenges and volunteered every afternoon. But now he has become a couch potato. His grades have dropped and he no longer volunteers. He says it doesn’t matter as he just wants to ‘get away from it all’.”
And what do the experts say? Paula Ray, a doctor, says that TV can influence young people’s lifestyles. But she says that if a young person reacts as strongly as Patrick, it’s likely that there are other reasons for his change in the behaviour.
56. What is the TV series Away From It All about? (no more than 8 words)
________________
57. According to the director, why is Away From It All a success? (no more than 15 words)
________________
58. What does the underlined word in Paragraph 3 mean? (1 word)
________________
59. What is the main idea of Paragraph 4? (no more than 10 words)
________________
60. Do you agree with Dr. Paula Ray’s saying, “TV can influence young people’s lifestyles”? Please give your reason(s). (no more than 20 words)
________________
【答案】56. The relaxing lifestyles of country people.
57. (Because) It helps teenagers forget about the pressures of study and troubles around.
58. Mark. / Symbol.
59. The influence of the TV series on teenagers.
OR: How do the TV series influence teenagers.
60. Yes, I agree with Dr. Carhart’s opinion. Because I know many young people who are passionate about TV shows.

考查细节理解。根据第二段“Its success is surprising because its main character is a shepherd (牧羊人), and the series is about the relaxing lifestyles of people who live in the country.(它的成功令人惊讶，因为它的主角是一个牧羊人，而该系列讲述的是生活在乡村的人们放松的生活方式)”可知，电视剧Away from It All是关于生活在乡村的人们的放松的生活方式的。故答案为The relaxing lifestyles of country people.
【57题详解】
考查推理判断。根据第三段“He says that watching Away from It All helps teenagers forget about the pressures of exams and homework, and the troubles that fill the world.(他说，观看Away from It All有助于青少年忘记考试和家庭作业的压力，以及充斥世界的麻烦)”可知，根据导演的说法，因为Away from It All可以帮助青少年忘记学习和周边麻烦的压力，所以它是成功的。故答案为(Because) It helps teenagers forget about the pressures of study and troubles around.
【58题详解】
考查词句猜测。根据第三段“The director of the series says its success is a sign of teenagers suffering from stress.(该电视剧的导演表示，它的成功是青少年承受压力的sign)”以及“He also claims that it’s a good sign that today’s youth are switching to happier TV series, as it shows they would like a happier and healthier life.(他还声称，这是一个好的sign，表明当今的年轻人正在转向更快乐的电视剧，因为这表明他们想要更快乐、更健康的生活)”可知，电视剧取得成功，表明青少年想要更快乐、更健康的生活，这是青少年承受压力的标志，推测划线单词表示“标志”。故答案为Mark. / Symbol.

Some students have even refused to study for exams because they say that they can only achieve happiness by avoiding stressful situations completely.(他们说，他们的一些学生和孩子正在成为电视迷，并将Away from It All作为不完成家庭作业的借口。一些学生甚至拒绝为考试而学习，因为他们说，只有完全避免压力，才能获得快乐)”可知，本段主要介绍了电视剧Away from It All对青少年的影响，或Away from It All是如何影响青少年的。故答案为The influence of the TV series on teenagers.OR: How do the TV series influence teenagers.
