My family discussed what the best way to celebrate was. Should we throw her a party? Should we take her on a trip? We remembered that she had touched so many peoples lives, and there were so many people for her to consider. Then someone got the idea that we should include everyone in the celebration by turning it into a tribute(献礼) to my grandmother.We secretly sent out letters to the people in grandmothers address book and asked them to send a letter with a memory that they had shared with her. People sent us letters with poems, stories and pictures. The deep feeling that was shared through the response surprised us. We compiled(编纂)these letters into a memory book and amazed her with it on the morning of her birthday.The unusual thing about my grandmothers friends was not the number that she had, but the connection they shared. In many ways this book of friendship was the greatest achievement of my grandmothers life.I believe that developing true friendships is one of the most important things that anyone can do in ones lifetime. It is not a matter of the number of friends one has, but the quality of the bonds. If one has had at least one true friendship before dying, then one can say he has lived a successful life. I have made many friends and I believe I have begun to develop the same types of friendships my grandmother kept up over her lifetime. I only hope that I will be as successful as she has been.41How did the authors family celebrate the grandmothers birthday?A.They took her on a trip across the country. B.They gave her a memory book of friendship. C.They invited all her friends to her birthday party. D.They asked all her friends to send her cards.42When receiving her birthday gift, the authors grandmother probably felt .A.disappointed and lonely B.sorry and sad C.surprised and pleased D.nervous and excited43The underlined word bonds in the last paragraph probably means .A.connectionsB.works C.successesD.celebrations44According to the passage, the author probably agrees that .A.the more friends you have, the better B.friends are more important than family C.understanding leads to greater success D.true friendship is very important to us45Which of the following words can best describe the authors grandmother?A.Famous.B.Great. C.Polite.D.Pleasant.BMany people think that listening is a passive business.It is just the opposite.Listening well is an active exercise of our attention and hard work.It is because they do not realize this,or because they are not willing to do the work,that most people do not listen well.Listening well also requires total concentration upon someone else.An essential part of listening well is the rule known asbracketing.Bracketing includes the temporary giving up or setting aside of your own prejudices and desires,to experience as far as possible someone elses world from the inside, stepping into his or her shoes. Moreover, since listening well involves bracketing, it also involves a temporary acceptance of the other person.Sensing this acceptance,the speaker will seem quite willing to open up the inner part of his or her mind to the listener.True communication is under way.The energy required for listening well is so great that it can be accomplished only by the will to extend oneself for mutual growth.Most of the time we lack this energy.Even though we may feel in our business dealings or social relationships that we are listening well, what we are usually doing is listening selectively.Often we have a prepared list in mind and wonder, as we listen,how we can achieve certain desired results to get the conversation over as quickly as possible or redirected in ways more satisfactory to us.Many of us are far more interested in talking than in listening,or we simply refuse to listen to what we dont want to hear.It wasnt until toward the end of my doctor career that I have found the knowledge that one is being truly listened to is frequently therapeutic(有疗效的).In about a quarter of the patients I saw,surprising improvement was shown during the first few months of the psychotherapy(心理疗法),before any of the roots of problems had been uncovered or explained.There are several reasons for this phenomenon,but chief among them, I believe,was the patients sense that he or she was being truly listened to,often for the first time in years,and for some,perhaps for the first time ever.46The phrase stepping into his or her shoes in Paragraph 2 probably means .A.preparing a topic list firstB.focusing on ones own mind C.directing the talk to the desired resultsD.experiencing the speakers inside world47What is mainly discussed in Paragraph 2?A.How to listen well.B.What to listen to. C.Benefits of listening.D.Problems in listening.48According to the author,in communication people tend to .A.listen activelyB.listen purposefully C.set aside their prejudicesD.open up their inner mind49According to the author,the patients improved mainly because .A.they were taken good care ofB.they knew they were truly listened to C.they had partners to talk toD.they knew the roots of problems50What type of writing is the article likely to be?A.Science fiction.B.A news report. C.A medical report.D.Popular science.CIf you have seen or heard of the British TV series Downton Abbey, you have probably noticed an “upstairs-downstairs” class system in which the noble people are upstairs, worrying what clothes they should wear for dinner and the poor people are downstairs, working hard to make food and tea. So its not hard to tell that people are divided into different classes. British society has changed a lot since the days of Downton Abbey, but the division still exists and the funny accents do, too.Nowadays, what divides Britons is the so-called “North-South divide”. As you make your way north from the south coast of England, the accent begins to change. The posh “How are you” in parts of the South becomes “Ahhdu” (how do you do) in the Midlands, “reeit” (are you alright) in the North West, “eyyup” (whats up) in Yorkshire, and “hous it gaun” (hows it going) in Scotland. Besides accents, the economy also changes. The rich southern city of London slowly becomes the North where people generally have less money.So where does the “South” stop being the “South” and the “North” start being the “North”? Well, depending on where someone comes from in Britain, youll get a different answer.“Anywhere above London is the North,” you might hear a Londoner say. Or if youre in Scotland, you might hear, “Southern softer!”, talking about a person from Lancashire or Yorkshire, who think of themselves as “hard (tough) Northerners”. “Anywhere south of Manchester is not northern,” you might hear a person from Manchester say.Many stereotypes (成见) have come from the “North-South Divide”, too. Often, southerners are seen as being rude and snobbish (势利眼的) by northerners. And northerners are often seen as uneducated by southerners.Today, the career you have and the person you marry dont depend on where you were born or what class you are from. But as London is getting richer and people are moving to the South for work, the North-South divide is getting bigger. Yet for all that divides us, the truth is, we couldnt live without each other!51The first paragraph serves to _.A.compare the lives of upstairs with those of downstairs B.explain how the class system worked in the past C.attack the unfair class division D.introduce the topic of the passage52People from North West greet each other by saying _.A.“hous it gaun” B.“reeit”C.“eyyup”D.“ahhdu”53From Paragraph 4 we get to know _.A.Scotlanders think Londoners are not strong enough B.Manchester people think Scotland belongs to the South C.Manchester people regard themselves as Northerners D.there is no such thing as “North-South Divide”54What is the passage mainly talking about?A.British accents are different from North to South. B.Class division is getting smaller at present. C.It is about the “North-South Division” and its influence. D.Northerners and Southerners dislike each other in Britain.DSometimes having a teenager at home can be a real headache. Many teenagers smoke, drink, wear strange hairdos and even fight. Basically, they are often taking risks.Earlier studies have shown that teenagers are more likely to make irrational decisions than people from any other age group, including children and adults. Is it that teenagers are too young to tell right from wrong? Not really. So what explains their risky behavior?According to Laurence Steinberg, a professor at Temple University, the US, the reason is that teens care a lot about how their peers (同龄人) view them thats the effect of peer influence, reported Science Daily.As children enter their teenage years, they spend more time with their friends and classmates and also become more sensitive to their feedback (反馈的信息). This sensitivity drives teenagers to concentrate on the short-term benefits of making risky choices and overlook the costs.In a test, a group of teenagers were asked to play a video driving game. When they played with their friends watching, they took more chances and drove more carelessly because that would increase their possibility of winning. But when they played alone, they tended to drive more safely.Why does pressure from peers have such a big influence on teens behavior?As Steinberg sees it, a teenagers brain is like a car with a good accelerator but a weak brake. The accelerator, the brains ability to notice the benefits of things, is fully developed by teenage years while the brake, the brain part related to controlling impulses (冲动) and long-term thinking, is still immature (不成熟的). When teens are under the pressure of being judged by their peers, they tend to push hard on the accelerator. Given how weak the brake is, it is likely that they are going to end up in a crash.But the good news here, according to Steinberg, is that a violent teenager doesnt necessarily become a violent adult. About two-thirds to three-quarters of violent youth grow out of it. They get more self-controlled, Steinberg told Live Science.Also, people who havent committed a violent crime by age 19 are less likely to start doing it later, added Steinberg.55The underlined word irrational in the second paragraph is closest in meaning to .A.crazyB.quickC.carefulD.independent56Why are teenagers likely to take risks according to the text?A.They are too young to tell right from wrong. B.They are eager to challenge themselves. C.They care a lot about what their peers think of them. D.Their brains are more sensitive to thrilling events.57How does Steinberg explain the influence of peer pressure on teens behavior?A.By performing an in-depth analysis. B.By giving examples. C.By using a metaphor (比喻). D.By presenting research findings.58According to the text, with peers around them, teenagers tend to .A.use more self-controlB.become more careful about what they do C.perform better than when they are aloneD.focus more on short-term benefits59What can we conclude from the text?A.Those who love taking risks are more likely to commit violent crimes. B.The majority of teenagers become less violent when they grow up. C.Violent teenagers often grow to be adults who cannot control themselves well. D.People who are over 19 years old are less likely to commit a crime than teenagers. How could we possibly think that keeping animals in cages in unnatural environments mostly for entertainment purposes is fair and respectful?Zoos official say they are concerned about animals. However, most zoos remain collections of interesting things rather than protective habitats. Zoos teach people that it is acceptable to keep animals bored, lonely and far from their natural homes.Zoos argue to educate people and save endangered species, but visitors leave zoos without having learned anything meaningful about the animals natural behavior, intelligence, or beauty. Zoos keep animals in small spaces or cages, and most signs only mention the species name, diet, and natural sort. The animals normal behavior is seldom noticed because zoos dont usually take care of the animals natural needs.The animals are kept together in small spaces, with no privacy(私密) and little opportunity for mental and physical exercise. This results in unusual and self-destructive(自毁的) behavior called zoochosis(动物精神病). A worldwide study of zoos found that zoochosis common among animals kept in small spaces or cages. Another study showed that elephants spend 22 percent of their time making repeated head movements or biting cage bars and bears spend 30 percent of their time walking back and forth, a sign of unhappiness and pain.Besides, most animals in zoos are not endanger
