B．Appear.C．Extend. D．Stop.答案D解析词义猜测题。根据画线词前的However表示转折以及后一句可知，作者没有接受Renate的资助，但作者不想让这段(故事的)开场就此停止，于是作者给她回了邮件。由此可知，halt意为“停止”。故选D。B(2023·湖南长沙雅礼中学高二校考期中)Sayingfarewelltosomeoneyoulove，evenforanight，canbedifficult，muchlesssayinggoodbyeforalifetimeorforeverindeath.JulietbidRomeoadieu(再见)fortheeveningwiththewords，“Partingissuchsweetsorrow.”Sweetsorrowisanoxymoron.Butthisseemingcontradictionistrueinthecontextofrelationships.Relationshipsarebasedonfeelings，emotions，andpassion.Deepfriendshipsandlovingrelationshipsaremeasuredbythelevelofemotionalattachment.Emotionsintensifyovertime.Peoplespendtimewiththepeopletheylike.Themoreonepersonlikesanotherperson，theclosertherelationshipbecomes.Eachpersonintherelationshipreceivesanemotionalbenefitfromknowingtheotherperson.Sayinggoodbyemeansseparatingfromthepeoplewhomakeupasignificantpartofyouremotionalidentity.Separation，evenatemporaryabsence，fromthepeopleyouhaveadeepemotionalconnectionwithcancausesorrowbecauseyouwillnolongerbeabletoenjoytheircompany.Thesweetsideofsayinggoodbyeistheemotionalfulfillmentofbeinginacloserelationship.Thetimespenttogetherisemotionallyrewarding，especiallyifthatpersonisseenasasoulmate.Humansaresocialbeings.Weseektheloveandcomfortofotherpeople.Lonelinessdevastatesthehumanconditionandleadstosadness.Sadpeoplewilldoanythingtheycantofindfulfillingrelationships.Likewise，happypeoplewilldoanythingtheycantomaintainorenhancerelationships.Hereinliestheessentialpointoftheemotionalproblem.Themoreintenserelationshipsbecome，themoredevastatingtheemotionallossthatisfeltuponseparation.Theexhilarationofrelationshipscannotbetrulymeasuredwithoutexperiencingtheoverwhelminglossofadeepemotionalconnection.Enjoythecompanyofthepersonyouarewithaslongasyoucan;knowingthepainyouwillfeelattheendoftherelationshipisthetruemeasureoftherelationship.Ifitdoesn’thurttosaygoodbye，perhapsitwasn’tworthsayinghello.语篇解读本文是一篇议论文，通过莎士比亚戏剧的著名台词“Partingissuchsweetsorrow”引出对人际关系的讨论，阐述分离的痛苦是衡量感情的尺度。5．Whichofthewordgroupcancreatethesameeffectas“sweetsorrow”？A．Icycold. B．Clickingsound.C．Deafeningsilence. D．Endlessspeech.答案C解析推理判断题。根据第一段最后两句可知，sweetsorrow是一种矛盾的修辞方法。C选项中“deafeningsilence(震耳欲聋的沉默)”与之一致，同属于矛盾的修辞方法。故选C。6．Whatcanwelearnfromparagraph3?A．Sayinggoodbyeisunavoidableinourdailylife.B．Thecompanionofclosefriendscanlessensorrow.C．Aperson’sidentityisconnectedwithrelationship.D．Separationisthesorrowfulpartofsayinggoodbye.答案D解析推理判断题。根据第三段可知，告别意味着同与你有深厚情感联系的人分离，即使这种分离是暂时的缺席，都会带来悲伤，由此可知，分离是告别时悲伤的部分。故选D。7．Whatgivesapersonemotionalsatisfactioninsociallife?A．Makingmorecommunicationwithothers.B．Buildingdeepemotionalconnectionswithothers.C．Comfortingfriendswithloveandintensefeelings.D．Beingathoughtfulpersonbystandinginothers’shoes.答案B解析推理判断题。根据第二段第二、三句以及第四段前三句可知，与他人建立深厚的情感联系能使人在社交生活中获得情感上的满足。故选B。8．Whatisthemainideaofthepassage?A．Sweetsorrowisverycommonincloserelationships.B．Thepainofseparationisthemeasureofrelationships.C．Humanbeingsareeagertogetemotionalfulfillment.D．Happinessismeaninglesswithoutsadnesstocompareit.答案B解析主旨大意题。通读全文尤其根据最后一段可知，文章通过“告别”带给人看似矛盾的情感体验这一现象，通过对比等写作手法，深入分析了痛苦这种情感体验在人际关系疏密中的作用。B选项“分离的痛苦是衡量感情的尺度”能够概括文章主要内容。故选B。C(2023·河南平顶山高二统考期末)JeffreyHall，aprofessorattheUniversityofKansas，cameupwiththeCommunicateBondBelongtheory，whichstatesthatweallfeeltheneedtobelongandthatboththeamountoftimeandthetypeofactivitysharedwithapartnerarekeyinvestmentstohelpusmeetthatneed.Hallsetouttoquantify(量化)therequirementsoffriendshipintwoseparatestudies.Thefirstincluded355adultswhohadmovedtoanewplacewithintheprevioussixmonths.Hallaskedthemtoidentifysomeonenewtheyhadmet.Itcouldn’tbeafamilymember，romanticinterest，orsomeonethey’dknownpreviously.Theparticipantstoldwheretheymetthisperson，howmuchtimethey’dspenttogetherthepreviousweekandhowmuchtimetheyspenttogetherinatypicalweek.Theyalsoclassifiedthepersonfromacquaintance(熟人)tobestfriend.Inthesecondstudy，Hallinvited112UniversityofKansasfreshmenandaskedthemtonametwonewacquaintances.Thenhefolloweduptwiceoverthefirstnineweeksoftheschoolyeartomeasuretimespentwiththosenewacquaintancesandseehowtherelationshipshadchanged.Theresultsofbothstudiesconfirmedthattimespenttogetherwasassociatedwithcloserfriendships.“Iwaslookingforcut-offpoints，”saysHall，“wheretherewasa50%greaterlikelihoodyouswitchfromacquaintancetocasualandfromcasualtofriend，thenagainfromfriendtobestfriend.”Hefoundthatittookabout50hoursofinteractiontomovefromacquaintancetocasualfriend，about90hourstomovefromcasualfriendtofriend，andmorethan200hourstoqualifyasbestfriend.Thosewhonevergotbeyondbeingacquaintancesusuallyhadspentnomorethan30hourstogether.Ontheotherhand，timetogetherdidn’tautomatically(自动地)maketwopeoplefriends.Someadultsreportedspendingmorethanathousandhourswithcolleaguesbutstillcalledthosepeopleacquaintances.Basically，theyjustdidn’tlikethemverymuch.Ortheyhadnorelationshipoutsideofwork.语篇解读这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了杰弗里·霍尔教授提出了归属感理论，该理论认为，我们都有归属感的需求，与同伴待在一起的时间和共同参与的活动类型都是帮助我们满足这种需求的关键。9．WhatdidJeffreyHallaimtofindoutthroughhisstudies?A．Thewaystokeepafriendshiphealthy.B．Thesenseofbelongingbetweenpartners.C．Theactivitiesthathelpformafriendship.D．Thetimeneededtodevelopafriendship.答案D解析细节理解题。根据第二和第三段及第四段第一句可知，杰弗里·霍尔的目的是通过他的研究弄清楚发展友谊需要的时间。故选D项。10．WhatdoweknowabouttheparticipantsinHall’sstudy?A．Theywereofthesameagegroup.B．Theylivedinthesamecommunity.C．Theywerenewcomerstoacertainplace.D．Theywerenewlyadmittedintoauniversity.答案C解析细节理解题。根据第二段中“Thefirstincluded355adultswhohadmovedtoanewplacewithintheprevioussixmonths.”以及第三段中“Inthesecondstudy，Hallinvited112UniversityofKansasfreshmen...”可知，霍尔研究的参与者都是某地的新来者。故选C项。11．Howmuchtimeisneededtodeveloparelationshipfromacquaintancetofriend?A．140hours. B．90hours.C．50hours. D．200hours.答案A解析数字计算题。根据倒数第二段中“Hefoundthatittookabout50hoursofinteractiontomovefromacquaintancetocasualfriend，about90hourstomovefromcasualfriendtofriend”可知，从相识到成为朋友需要50＋90＝140小时。故选A项。12．Whydidsomeadultsfailtodevelopafriendshipwithothersaccordingtothelastparagraph?A．Theyweretoobusyatwork.B．Theyshowednointerestineachother.C．Thereexistedcompetitionbetweenthem.D．Theylivedfarawayfromeachother.答案B解析细节理解题。根据最后一段最后两句可知，他们与同事没有成为朋友是因为他们只是不太喜欢他们，或者他们在工作之外没有任何关系。即有些成年人不能与他人发展友谊是因为他们对彼此都不感兴趣。故选B项。Ⅱ.七选五Activelisteningisawayofcommunicatingthatcanincreaseunderstandingbetweenaspeakerandalistener.Itsgoalistohaveanopensharingofideasandfeelings.Itshowsrespectandconsiderationforthepersonspeaking.Activelisteningisveryusefulforfamilymembers.Familymembersoftendevelopbadlisteninghabits.Theyreacttoeachotherbasedonwhattheyexpecttheotherpersontosayratherthanonwhatisactuallysaid.12Miscommunicationorlackofunderstandingbetweenco-workerscanleadtohurtfeelings，makin
