课时作业 4

Ⅰ.阅读理解

A

A year back I received a full scholarship (奖学金) to attend the University of San Francisco. All of my hard work paid off. My mom had spent a lot on my attending a private high school, so I made sure to push myself: I volunteered, took part in various clubs, and graduated with honors. I was so excited to start a new part of my life.

Soon enough, the big day came, but it wasn't like what I had thought. The first two weeks were the most difficult days of my entire life. Every night I would cry myself to sleep. I was missing my family, my home and everything in my hometown so much and I didn't know how to deal with my broken heart.

To_distract_myself,_I threw myself into my studies. I also found a ton of jobs. In any free time, I started forcing myself to go to the gym. I wanted to keep every part of my day busy so I wouldn't think about how lonely I felt. Soon after, I began to control my eating, considering it another solution to my homesickness(想家). But soon there was something wrong with me.

Finally, I went to see a doctor. When the doctor told me I had no choice but to take time away from school, I started to fear. How could I stop? School was what I was best at. “I'm not so bad，” I thought in my head. But the result was that I was taken to hospital again a month later and my mother came heartbrokenly. I had to take a semester off from school, and go to the treatment center near my home.

If there are girls who are suffering similarly, I hope you know that there is hope and that you should have a positive attitude towards life. Though you may feel alone, there are so many people who can understand your struggle. That's why I want to share my story.

【语篇解读】　导语：本文是一篇记叙文。作者进入大学后非常想家，努力克服但效果甚微，最后导致身体不好不得不退学休养。

1．What can we know about the author in high school?

A．She studied very hard.

B．She disliked volunteering.

C．Her parents controlled much of her life.

D．Her family made her feel under pressure.

答案与解析：A　细节理解题。根据第一段的“A year back I received a full scholarship to attend the University of San Francisco. All of my hard work paid off.”可知，作者在高中时期学习很努力。

A．To prove my ability.

B．To improve my studies.

C．To earn money by myself.

D．To draw my attention away from homesickness.

答案与解析：D　句意理解题。根据画线部分后的“I threw myself into my studies. I also found a ton of jobs...”可知，作者投入学习，并且找了很多工作，空闲时间还去健身，这些都是为了使自己忙起来，从而转移自己想家的注意力。

3．What is the author's purpose in writing this passage?

A．To look back on her past life.

B．To increase her own confidence.

C．To express appreciation to her mother.

D．To encourage other girls like her to be positive.

答案与解析：D　主旨大意题。根据文章最后一段内容尤其是“If there are girls who are suffering similarly, I hope you know that there is hope and that you should have a positive attitude towards life.”可知，作者写这篇文章主要是为了鼓励跟她有着相似经历的女孩子积极面对生活。

B

“I feel unlikable, lonely and hopeless，” said Lisa, a bright teenager from a loving home. “It seems that nobody wants to become my friend. What's wrong with me？”

Like Lisa, many of us experience loneliness. The truth is that all people, no matter what their age or character — even the most outgoing, wealthy and popular — experience loneliness at least sometimes. It's healthy and natural to want to be around people who care. After all, we've all heard “No man is an island.” That's true. We all need others in our lives.

Solomon, the wisest man who ever lived, explains that if we want friends, we must be friendly and reach out to others. But it has risk. Because we are often afraid of rejection (拒绝), many of us are unwilling to reach out to others. We take a safer way and wait for others to make friends with us. But if we want friends, we've got to get beyond this.

If making friends is your goal as well, you need to consider taking some measures (措施)．

Be willing to take the initiative (主动权). If you see someone whom you would like to know, don't wait for her to make the first move. Get close to her and begin a conversation. Let her know in a non­aggressive (无攻击性的) way that you are interested in being friends with her.

Reach out to those who are lonely. When you see someone at school sitting alone, go over and talk to her. And don't let popularity decide whom you reach out to. You'll often be surprised at the beautiful qualities behind a shy appearance.

Ask questions. Start your first conversation by asking this possible friend what she likes to do or asking about her family. Be sure to ask questions that cannot be replied with “yes” or “no”. For example, don't ask “Do you have a dog？” Instead, say “So, tell me about your pets.” Avoiding asking “yes” or “no” questions makes your possible friend not end your communication with a one­word answer.

【语篇解读】　本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了朋友的重要性以及如何结交朋友。

4．Why does the author begin the text with Lisa's worry?

A．To set a sad tone.

B．To share Lisa's pain.

C．To introduce the topic.

D．To teach readers a lesson.

答案与解析：C　写作意图题。根据文章内容可知，作者用Lisa缺少朋友的忧虑开篇是为了引出本文的话题：友谊。

5．What can be a risk caused by reaching out to others according to the passage?

A．Being refused by others.

B．Putting ourselves in danger.

C．Being treated in a rude way.

D．Losing interest in communicating.

答案与解析：A　细节理解题。根据第三段的“Because we are often afraid of rejection, many of us are unwilling to reach out to others.”可知，主动出击的风险是可能被他人拒绝。

6．What can we know from Paragraph 5?

A．Shy people are hard to talk to.

B．Popular people are often easy­going.

C．Just waiting for chances will waste our time.

D．A proper manner is important in making friends.

答案与解析：D　推理判断题。根据第五段的“Let her know in a non­aggressive manner that you are interested in being friends with her.”可知，交朋友时方式方法很重要。

7．Why does the author suggest not asking “yes” or “no” questions?

A．It is considered unfriendly.

B．It will leave a bad first impression.

C．It shows the poor quality of the speaker.

D．It isn't good for keeping a conversation going.

答案与解析：D　推理判断题。根据最后一段的“Avoiding asking ‘yes’ or ‘no’ questions makes your possible friend not end your communication with a one­word answer.”可知，问对方能用yes或no回答的问题不利于展开对话。
