Ten years ago, I traveled to India with friends. One day, I spent some time in a home for the dying.I walked into a large __1__ and saw rows and rows of cots (折叠床). Every cot was __2__ except for one far off in the corner, so I walked over there.The patient was a woman who was __3__ death.

She had huge, sorrowful eyes.I could __4__ she had AIDS, from the fact that she was off in the corner __5__. It came as no surprise. The __6__ for AIDS is abandonment—especially for women.

When I arrived at her cot, I suddenly felt totally __7__. I had absolutely nothing I could __8__ her.I knew I couldn't save her, but I didn't want her to be alone.So I __9__ next to her and reached out to touch her—and as soon as she felt my hand, she grabbed it and __10__ let go.I had sat there holding her hands for a while when she pointed __11__ with her finger.It took me some time to __12__ that she wanted to go up to the roof.So I carried her up the stairs.On the roof she sat there with her face to the __13__， watching the sunset.

Sometimes it's the people you can't help who __14__  you the most. For me optimism isn't a passive expectation that things will get better. It's a belief that whatever __15__ we see, no matter how bad it is, we can help people if we don't look away.

本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。在印度旅行期间，面对一位濒临死亡的女性艾滋病患者，“我”虽然没能提供什么支持，但“我”选择了握一握她的手，并背着她上屋顶看一看日落，这对她也是极大的帮助。

A

It was a mid winter's day. My mom had ordered me and my two brothers outside so she could get a little housework done.

My brothers were seven and five years older than me and much bigger as well. Still, it was I who decided to start the snowball fight. I hit one of them when they weren't looking and soon we were all making and throwing snowballs as fast as we could. Being little helped me avoid the first dozen or so snowballs that came my way until the one that caught me in the back of the head and sent me sliding into the two foot deep snowdrift. I felt two hands grasp my shoulders as my oldest brother lifted me out safely. I laughed as I dusted the snow off.

Later Mom called us back inside for a lunch of hot chicken soup. I drank it slowly and then sat near the old wood stove in our living room and let the warmth quickly dry my damp socks and jeans. It felt so nice. I couldn't describe the feeling back then but I know now that it was pure happiness.

In those innocent days of childhood there was no regret for the past or worry for the future. Each moment could be enjoyed just the way God intended. Each day could be filled with fun, laughter, and love. I think that we all need to re­experience that feeling in our lives. We need to live with childlike joy while keeping our adult wisdom. We need to throw a few snowballs and drink a few bowls of soup afterwards. We need to trust in our Heavenly Father's love for us and share our love with others as well. Life here is too brief not to enjoy all of its precious moments.

本文为记叙文，讲述的是作者小时候打雪仗的美好经历，由此说明我们需要在保持成人智慧的同时，带着孩子般的快乐生活。

1．Why did the writer's mother order them outside?

A．To let them do more outdoor exercise.

B．For the convenience of doing housework.

C．To let them help her do housework outside.

D．To give them a surprise when they returned.

答案：B

解析：细节理解题。根据第一段第二句My mom had ordered me and my two brothers outside so she could get a little housework done.可知作者的母亲让孩子们到外面去的目的是便于做家务，故选B。

2．Why could the writer avoid so many snowballs?

A．Because his figure was small.

B．Because he was the youngest.

C．Because he had quick reaction.

D．Because he was good at avoiding

答案：A

解析：细节理解题。根据第二段Being little helped me avoid the first dozen or so snowballs可知，作者之所以能躲过雪球是因为他个儿小，故选A。

3．What is the writer's purpose in writing the text?

A．To introduce a good outdoor exercise.

B．To recall an experience in his childhood.

C．To show life should be enjoyed to the fullest.

D．To sing high praise of his mother's greatness.

答案：C

解析：目的意图题。根据最后一段最后一句Life here is too brief not to enjoy all of its precious moments.“生命如此短暂，不能不去享受它所有的珍贵时刻”可推出这就是作者的写作目的，告诉人们热爱生活，珍惜生活，故选C。

B

Have you ever made your life look a little more charming than it actually is by posting truths on social media? If so, you may be damaging your mental health.

The posts we make on social media platforms allow us to look back and see what we did on a given day. But what happens when, in an effort to impress our online friends, photos and videos we post become beautified versions of the things we did?

A young girl named Sophia went out to a romantic anniversary dinner with her boyfriend, had a near relationship­ending fight during dessert, then came home and posted, “Had the best time out with the love of my life！”—even with a photo of the meal. No surprise, but according to a new study, Sophia was by no means unique. Two­thirds of users admit lying about their lives on social media with 20 percent of young people between the ages of 18 and 24 stating that they edit their own stories by frequently lying about relationships and promotions.

By beautifying our online stories, we are harming our memories. We start believing the stories we tell rather than remembering what really happened. Soon, the real experience is lost and all that remains is the beautified version of history.

Scientists fear that these edited stories will end up changing our memories. It's well confirmed through research that our own memories are often unreliable and can be easily controlled. Writing down one's life in the form of a journal, or even on social media can help us keep our memories undamaged, but only if we tell the truth. So recording our experiences through whatever medium, to later recall lessons we learned, is not only acceptable but desirable. In fact, looking back at our own past—however embarrassing or uncomfortable—is not just healthy but can be enjoyable.

本文属于科普文，主要是说明在社交媒体上美化自己的故事会损害我们的健康，因为如此无异于在撒谎，欺骗别人就是欺骗自己，最终自己免不了受伤。

4．Why did Sophia post her story with a photo of the meal?

A．To make her post attractive.

B．To show her photography skill.

C．To convince others of her story.

D．To show how enjoyable the meal was.

答案：C

解析：细节理解题。根据第三段里的even with a photo of the meal和第二段的in an effort to impress our online friends可知Sophia发帖时配上吃饭的照片目的就是要使别人相信她的故事，故选C。

5．In what kind of tone did the writer write the text?

A．Encouraging. B．Critical.

C．Humorous. D．Enthusiastic.

答案：B

解析：推理判断题。从第一段里的If so, you may be damaging your mental health.和第四段里的By beautifying our online stories, we are harming our memories.以及最后一段里的but only if we tell the truth可知作者对美化我们的网络故事持批判的观点，故而文章的笔调是批判性的，故选B。

6．The last paragraph implies that many people don't realize ________.

A．recalling the unpleasant past can also be enjoyable

B．writing down our life on social media does no good to us

C．recording experiences through media is unacceptable

D．recording our experiences through media is beneficial

答案：A

解析：推理判断题。从本段最后一句话 In fact, looking back at our own past—however embarrassing or uncomfortable—is not just healthy but can be enjoyable.尤其是这句话里的in fact可推断出应选A。in fact在句中起强调的作用，作者强调回忆不愉快的过往也可能是令人愉悦的就暗示了人们大多没有意识到这一点，故选A。

7．What a lesson can be drawn from the text?

A．Leaving others a good impression is desirable.

B．Editting our online stories weakens our memory.

C．Posting our experiences on social media is risky.

D．Beautifying our history ends up hurting ourselves.

答案：D

解析：主旨大意题。全文主要是说明在社交媒体上美化自己的故事会损害我们的健康，因为如此无异于在撒谎，欺骗别人就是欺骗自己，最终自己免不了受伤，故选D。

阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

I had hardly sat down on the train and opened a bar of chocolate __1__ a really old man with huge bags sat down across from me.I said hello __2__ him, smiling sweetly and then I suddenly thought, “Why not offer him a piece of chocolate？” So I did.He was quite __3__ (surprise), but accepted and thanked me.He said that people didn't usually do things like this for __4__ (strange) — at least that was what I understood, because he was speaking a really __5__ (usual) dialect, and the train was loud.

Then he opened one of his bags and gave me __6__ handful of freshly picked cherries, __7__ (explain) that he had just taken them from his orchard.The cherries were really lovely, better than those in the shops, and I enjoyed them very much.It had been just an impulse (冲动) to offer him a piece of chocolate, but if I __8__ (do) so, I would never have tasted those lovely cherries, __9__ I didn't even know he had at the time.Life is about giving and taking, and it's __10__ (general) true that if you give, you will receive.

本文讲述了作者的一次生活经历，这次经历启迪读者：给予和索取是相互的。

1．when

解析：考查连词。hardly...when...意为“一……就……”，为固定用法，故用连词when引导时间状语从句。

2．to

解析：考查介词。say hello to sb.意为“向某人问好”，故用介词to。

3．surprised

解析：考查形容词。此处是过去分词作形容词，在句子中作表语，修饰人。

4．strangers

解析：考查名词复数。根据语境可知，此处表示“陌生人”，应用名词形式stranger，又因stranger是可数名词，前面无修饰词，故用复数形式。

5．unusual

解析：考查形容词。根据上文中的“at least that was what I understood”可推知，老人说的方言很不同寻常。

6．a

解析：考查冠词。固定搭配a handful of 意为“一把……”，故用不定冠词a。

7．explaining

解析：考查非谓语动词。explain和主句谓语动词之间没有连词，故空格处应用非谓语动词，且和句子主语he之间构成逻辑上的主谓关系，故用现在分词形式explaining。

8．had_not_done

解析：考查动词的时态。根据下文中的“I would never have tasted those lovely cherries”可知，空格处表示对过去情况的假设，故用过去完成时；此处表示“如果我没有那样做，我将永远不会品尝到这些好吃的樱桃”，应用否定形式。

9．which

解析：考查定语从句。分析句子结构可知，此处应用which引导非限制性定语从句，在从句中作had的宾语。定语从句的先行词为cherries。

10．generally

解析：考查副词。修饰形容词应用副词，故填generally。
