答案：A

10．________ English as a foreign language is very difficult in the absence of a native

office.

A．prevent           B．avoid

C．protect           D．allow

解析：prevent常用于prevent sb. (from) doing sth.结构，表示“防止，预防”；avoid意为“避免”，后面跟名词或动词的­ing形式作宾语；protect意为“保护”；allow意为“允许”。根据句意“虽然泰伦很生气，但是他头脑很冷静，不会冲进老板的办公室”，所以用avoid最合适。

答案：B

12．A house may serve many purposes，but its main ________ is to provide shelter.

A．rank           B．approach

C．function          D．theme

解析：句意：房子有许多用途，但它的主要功能是提供住处。function“功能”，符合句意。

A．It depends.          B．It's up to you.

C．What about you?        D．Why not?

解析：It depends.“那得看情况”；It's up to you.“由你决定”；What about you？“你呢”；Why not？“为何不呢”。根据后面“你忙了这么长时间了”判断，说话人认为对方应该到海边休息一下，所以选D项表示赞同。

答案：D

Ⅲ.阅读理解

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中选出最佳选项。

I suppose that the most basic and powerful way to connect to another person is to listen.Just listen.Perhaps the most important thing we ever give each other is our attention.And especially if it's given from the heart.When people are talking，there's no need to do anything but receive them.Listen to what they're saying.Care about it.Most times caring about it is even more important than understanding it.Most of us don't value ourselves or our love enough to know this.It has taken me a long time to believe in the power of simple saying “I'm so sorry，”when someone is in pain.

One of my patients told me that when she tried to tell her story people often interrupted to tell her that they once had something just like that happening to them.Her pain became a story about themselves.Eventually she stopped talking to most people.We connect through listening.When we interrupt what someone is saying to let them know that we understand，we move the focus of attention to ourselves.When we listen，they know we care.

I have even learned to respond to someone crying by just listening.In the old days I used to reach for the handkerchiefs，until I realized that passing a person a handkerchief may be just another way to shut him down，to take them out of their experience of sadness.Now I just listen.When they have cried all they need to cry，they find me there with them.

This simple thing has not been that easy to learn.It certainly went against everything I had been taught since I was very young.I thought people listened only because they were too shy to speak or did not know the answer.But now I know that a loving silence often has far more power to heal than the kindest words.

【语篇解读】　全身心地聆听别人倾诉是帮助别人排解忧伤的最好方式。
