Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
Books
can’t
stop
a
global
pandemic.But,for
a
short
while,they
can
let
us
forget
the
world
around
us
and
transport
us
to
different
places,allowing
us
to
travel
in
spirit.Here
are
some
picks
for
this
month.
RohintonMistry:AFineBalance
Mistry’s
novel
focuses
on
the
lives
of
four
central
characters
whose
lives
are
on
a
downward
spiral,from
poverty
to
outright
destitution
and,ultimately,death.
Mistry
does
not
whitewash
the
reality
of
urban
poverty
in
India.But
as
readers,we
become
absorbed
in
his
characters’
lives
we
hope
with
them,we
fear
for
them
and,at
the
end,we
cry
for
them.
ElenaFerrante:MyBrilliantFriend
Elena
Ferrante’s
novels
take
us
straight
to
the
Italian
city
of
Napoli.Starting
with
MyBrilliantFriend,the
four
novels
chart
the
intensive
relationship
between
two
girls,Elena
Greco
(Lenù)
and
Raffaella
Cerullo
(Lila),who
grow
up
in
a
poor
neighbourhood
in
the
1950s.
Reading
Ferrante’s
description
calls
forth
images
of
Napoli
and
makes
us
feel
like
we
are
standing
in
the
Piazza
del
Plebiscito.We
can
feel,hear
and
smell
Napoli
around
us.
PatrickModiano:TheSearchWarrant
TheSearchWarrant
pieces
together
the
real-life
story
of
Dora
Bruder,a
young
Jewish
girl
who
went
missing
in
Paris
in
December
1941.Modiano
attempts
to
retrace
Dora’s
movements
across
Paris
and
his
book
is
full
of
evocative
descriptions
of
quiet
squares
and
streets.
By
tracing
Dora’s
possible
steps,Modiano
evocatively
recreates
the
twilight
atmosphere
of
Paris
under
occupation.
KazuoIshiguro:TheRemainsoftheDay

choices
that

him
being
involved
with

The
summer
when
I
turned
16,my
father
gave
me
a
car,which
permitted
Hannah
and
me
to
drive
around
Tucson
whenever
we
wanted
to.
Hannah
was
my
best
friend.“Hannah’s
amazing,”
my
mother
always
said.And
sure
enough,that
summer
she
signed
with
a
modelling
agency.She
was
already
doing
runway
work.
One
day,Hannah
and
I
went
to
the
movies.On
the
way
home,we
stopped
at
the
McDonald’s
drive-through,putting
the
fries
on
the
seat
between
us
to
share.“Let’s
ride
around
a
while,”
I
said.It
was
a
clear
night,moonlight
shone
over
the
desert.Taking
a
turn
too
fast,I
hit
a
patch
of
dirt
and
fishtailed.
French
fries
on
the
floor.An
impossible
amount
of
blood
on
Hannah’s
face.They
took
us
in
separate
ambulances.In
the
ER,my
parents
spoke
quietly,“Best
plastic
surgeon
in
the
city.”This
meant
the
end
of
her
modelling
career.
We’d
been
wearing
lap
belts,but
the
car
didn’t
have
shoulder
harnesses.I’d
cracked
my
cheekbone;Hannah’s
forehead
had
split
wide
open.What
would
I
say
to
her?
When
her
mother,Sharon,came
into
my
hospital
room,I
started
to
cry,bracing
myself
for
her
anger.She
sat
beside
me
and
took
my
hand.“I
almost
ended
my
best
friend
when
I
was
your
age,”
she
said.“I
totally
damaged
her
car
and
mine.”
“I’m
so
sorry,”
I
said.
“You’re
both
alive,”
she
said,“and
the
rest
is
window
dressing.”
I
started
to
protest,but
Sharon
stopped
me,“I
forgive
you.Hannah
will,too.”
Sharon’s
forgiveness
allowed
Hannah
and
me
to
stay
friends
throughout
life.I
think
of
her
gift
of
forgiveness
every
time
I
want
to
resent
someone
for
a
perceived
wrong.And
whenever
I
see
Hannah,the
scars
are
a
symbol
of
grace
for
me.

WhydoWeUseZipCodes?
Everyone
has
memorised
exactly
two
ZIP
codes:90210
and
whatever
their
own
ZIP
code
is.We
can
thank
a
certain
TV
show
set
in
Beverly
Hills
for
that.
Aside
from
that,general
knowledge
of
these
five-digit
figures
is
pretty
limited.We
put
them
at
the
end
of
addresses,and
then
our
mail
magically
gets
delivered
to
the
right
location.We
discovered
one
of
the
most
highly
kept
secrets
all
mail
carriers
know:what
ZIP
codes
really
are
and
how
they
work.
The
entire
practice
of
using
ZIP
codes
is
a
relatively
new
system
that
was
put
in
place
on
July
1,1963.Before
that,starting
in
1943,the
US
Postal
Service
used
a
series
of
postal
zones
for
large
cities
only.
In
1944,a
postal
worker
named
Robert
Moon
handed
on
an
idea
for
a
new
postal
zone
system
that
would
cover
the
whole
country.The
first
number
would
stand
for
a
group
of
states,starting
at
zero
on
the
east
coast
and
ending
at
nine
on
the
west
coast,and
the
second
and
third
numbers
would
specify
(详述)to
which
sectional
centre
facility
(the
place
where
mail
gets
processed
and
distributed)
the
mail
should
go
in
that
area.The
US
Postal
Service
eventually
adopted
this
plan
and,the
Zone
Improvement
Plan
Code—or
ZIP
code—was
born.
About
20
years
after
the
first
ZIP
codes
were
put
into
place,the
Postal
Service
made
one
more
adjustment:the
four
digits
that
come
after
your
ZIP
code.These
stand
for
a
specific
area
that
any
given
post
office
covers.The
sixth
and
seventh
numbers
refer
to
a
delivery
sector,which
could
be
a
group
of
streets,one
large
building,or
another
small
geographic
area.The
last
two
stand
for
a
delivery
segment(片区).
Even
though
the
US
Postal
Service
says
the
proper
contribution
to
the
ZIP
code’s
creation
goes
to
a
committee
of
people,our
addresses
would
look
quite
different
if
it
weren’t
for
Moon’s
numerical
inspiration.
8.Why
are
many
people
familiar
with
ZIP
code
“90210”?
A.It’s
easy
to
understand
and
memorise.
B.It’s
because
of
a
famous
TV
programme.
C.It’s
related
with
Beverly
Hills.
D.It’s
a
ZIP
code
of
five-digit
figures.
9.What
can
we
know
about
postal
zones
used
in
1943?
A.It
was
the
entire
practice
of
ZIP
codes.
B.It
was
used
for
a
very
long
time.
C.It
was
popular
with
big
cities.
D.It
wasn’t
very
convenient
to
use.
10.What
does
the
third
number
in
a
ZIP
code
stand
for
according
to
Moon’s
system?
A.The
state.
B.Where
the
letter
is
from.
C.Where
the
letter
is
to.
D.The
proper
post
office.
11.What
does
the
author
intend
to
do
in
Paragraph
5?
A.What
the
four
numbers
at
the
end
of
a
code
mean.
B.What
ZIP
codes
really
are
and
the
uses
they
bring.
C.The
big
change
of
US
Postal
Service.
D.The
US
ZIP
codes
is
really
very
complex.
D
It’s
tough
to
see
or
hear
of
a
friend
in
crisis.One
idea
to
keep
in
mind
is
that
it
is
healthy
for
the
distressed
person
to
feel
what
he
or
she
feels
in
the
moment.When
a
person
in
crisis
feels
understood,he
or
she
feels
less
alone
and
connected
to
the
person
who
understands.
A
person,who
experiences
empathy(同理心)from
a
friend
who
can
“go
there”
for
a
few
minutes
in
order
to
authentically
understand
while
still
maintaining
a
strong
and
supportive
attitude,may
be
relieved
and
healed.While
a
friend
is
telling
you
about
the
circumstance,the
first
and
most
important
step
is
to
listen
for
feelings,not
ways
to
solve
the
problem.
For
example,a
friend
is
terribly
upset
because
her
husband
is
threatening
to
leave
her.After
fully
honouring
the
feelings,it
is
important
to
ask
the
friend
what
would
help.Maybe
it
is
a
good
cry
and
some
ice
cream.Perhaps
it’s
a
glass
of
wine
and
a
walk.Everyone
has
different
ways
of
dealing.Be
respectful
and
ask
the
friend
what
she
needs
or
wants,not
what
you
prescribe.
Take
a
second
example,saying
a
close
friend
is
being
misrepresented
by
other
friends.The
friends
are
gossiping
about
her.During
a
conversation
with
her,listen
for
feelings.Honour
her
hurt
and
shock.The
same
equation
is
useful
with
a
partner.
Helping
a
friend
or
partner
in
crisis
not
only
helps
the
person,but
creates
closeness
and
trust
in
the
relationship,making
opening
up
in
the
probable
future.In
addition,the
person
who
is
empathizing
feels
positive
because
he
or
she
was
able
to
help.When
a
person
is
truly
able
to
comfort
and
reassure
a
loved
one,he
or
she
feels
vital
and
useful,strengthening
the
relationship.
12.What
should
we
do
first
when
we
know
a
friend
is
in
crisis?
A.Keep
away
from
him/her.
B.Buy
him/her
a
glass
of
wine.
C.Understand
how
he/she
feels.
D.Show
him/her
ways
to
solve
the
problem.
13.What
does
the
underlined
word
“it”
in
Paragraph
3
refer
to?
A.A
way
to
solve
the
crisis.
B.A
way
to
relieve
a
bad
mood.
C.A
way
to
listen
for
feelings.
D.A
way
to
honour
the
feelings.
14.How
does
the
author
prove
his/her
idea?
A.By
listing
data.
B.By
quoting
sayings.
C.By
giving
examples.
D.By
conducting
surveys.
15.What
does
the
text
mainly
talk
about?
A.How
to
keep
a
loved
one.
B.How
to
make
new
friends.
C.How
to
work
with
your
partner.
D.How
to
help
a
friend
in
trouble.

14.C 推理判断题。文章一、二两段作者提出了自己的想法,理解和倾听处于危机中的朋友是困难的,重要的是倾听他或她的感觉,而不是给予解决问题的办法。根据第三段中的“Forexample,afriendisterriblyupset...”和第四段中的“Takeasecondexample”可知,作者接下来通过两个例子证明了这个想法。故选C项。
15.D 主旨大意题。纵观全文,第一段作者提出了文章的中心,由“It’stoughtoseeorhearofafriendincrisis.Oneideatokeepinmindisthatitishealthyforthedistressedpersontofeelwhatheorshefeelsinthemoment.(理解或倾听处于危机中的朋友很难。要记住的一点是,对于痛苦的人来讲,感受此刻他或她的感受是有益的)”以及第二段中的“Whileafriendistellingyouaboutthecircumstance,thefirstandmostimportantstepistolistenforfeelings,notwaystosolvetheproblem.(当朋友告诉你情况的时候,第一步也是最重要的一步是倾听感受,而不是解决问题的方法)”可知,本文主要讲述如何帮助有困难的朋友。故选D项。

1.E 根据下文的“It’sameaningfulwaytoexpressgratitude...”可知,上文应该提到一种写感谢信的方式,E项中的“....anold-fashionedthank-youletter”符合语境。
2.G 本段的小标题是“以称呼开头”,G项“在任何情况下,以‘Dear...’为开头都是合适的”正是对标题的说明。
3.A 根据下文的“Describingthegiftalittle...”可知,描述一下礼物是为了说明礼物是你十分珍惜的。因此空格处应具体说明为什么要感谢他,所以选A项。
