We finally did and it was 5 at first sight. It was Our Home, small and charming, overlooking a quiet lake. Walking through the rooms and talking with the owners, a nice elderly couple, we felt the warmth and 6 of the marriage within that home. As perfect as it was, the price remained too high for us. But every day, we would sit by the lake, looking at the house and dreaming of 7 it would be like to live there
Days later, we made a(n) 8 —far below the asking price. Surprisingly, they didn’t 9 us. They renewed their offer 10 . It was also much more than we could afford, but far 11 than the original asking price
The next day, we got a 12 message that another buyer had offered a much higher price. Even so, we decided to talk with the 13 directly. We made our final offer, which 14 was thousands of dollars less than the other buyer’s bid. We knew it, 15 we had to try
Sold!” said the owner. Then he 16 : He’d seen us sitting by the lake all those times; he knew how much we loved the place and that we’d 17 the years of work they had put into their home; he realized he would take a 18 by selling it to us, but it was worthwhile; we were the people they wanted to live there.

三、阅读理解
(一)We’ve all been there: in a lift, in line at the bank or on an airplane, surrounded by people who are, like us, deeply focused on their smartphones or, worse, struggling with the uncomfortable silence.
What’s the problem It’s possible that we all have compromised conversational intelligence. It’s more likely that none of us start a conversation because it’s awkward and challenging, or we think it’s annoying and unnecessary. But the next time you find yourself among strangers, consider that small talk is worth the trouble. Experts say it’s an invaluable social practice that results in big benefits.
Dismissing small talk as unimportant is easy, but we can’t forget that deep relationships wouldn’t even exist if it weren’t for casual conversation. Small talk is the grease(润滑剂) for social communication, says Bernardo Carducci, director of the Shyness Research Institute at Indiana University Southeast. "Almost every great love story and each big business deal begins with small talk," he explains. "The key to successful small talk is learning how to connect with others, not just communicate with them."
In a 2014 study, Elizabeth Dunn, associate professor of psychology at UBC, invited people on their way into a coffee shop. One group was asked to seek out an interaction(互动) with its waiter; the other, to speak only when necessary. The results showed that those who chatted with their server reported significantly higher positive feelings and a better coffee shop experience. "It’s not that talking to the waiter is better than talking to your husband," says Dunn. "But interactions with peripheral(边缘的) members of our social network matter for our well-being also."
Dunn believes that people who reach out to strangers feel a significantly greater sense of belonging, a bond with others. Carducci believes developing such a sense of belonging starts with small talk. "Small talk is the basis of good manners,"he says.
1.What phenomenon is described in the first paragraph
A.Addiction to smartphones.
B.Inappropriate behaviours in public places.
C.Absence of communication between strangers.
D.Impatience with slow service.
2.What is important for successful small talk according to Carducci
A.Showing good manners.
B.Relating to other people.
C.Focusing on a topic.
D.Making business deals.
3.What does the coffee-shop study suggest about small talk
A.It improves family relationships.
B.It raises people's confidence.
C.It matters as much as a formal talk.
D.It makes people feel good.
4.What is the best title for the text
A.Conversation Counts
B.Ways of Making Small Talk
C.Benefits of Small Talk
D.Uncomfortable Silence
(二 )Many of us love July because it's the month when nature's berries and stone fruits are in abundance. These colourful and sweet jewels from British Columbia's fields are little powerhouses of nutritional protection.
Of the common berries, strawberries are highest in vitamin C, although, because of their seeds, raspberries contain a little more protein(蛋白质), iron and zinc (not that fruits have much protein). Blueberries are particularly high in antioxidants(抗氧化物质). The yellow and orange stone fruits such as peaches are high in the carotenoids we turn into vitamin A and which are antioxidants. As for cherries(樱桃), they are so delicious who cares However, they are rich in vitamin C.
When combined with berries or slices of other fruits, frozen bananas make an excellent base for thick, cooling fruit shakes and low fat "ice cream". For this purpose, select ripe bananas for freezing as they are much sweeter. Remove the skin and place them in plastic bags or containers and freeze. If you like, a squeeze of fresh lemon juice on the bananas will prevent them turning brown. Frozen bananas will last several weeks, depending on their ripeness and the temperature of the freezer.
If you have a juicer, you can simply feed in frozen bananas and some berries or sliced fruit. Out comes a "soft-serve" creamy dessert, to be eaten right away. This makes a fun activity for a children's party; they love feeding the fruit and frozen bananas into the top of the machine and watching the ice cream come out below.
1.What does the author seem to like about cherries
A.They contain protein. B.They are high in vitamin A.
C.They have a pleasant taste. D.They are rich in antioxidants.
2.Why is fresh lemon juice used in freezing bananas
A.To make them smell better. B.To keep their colour.
C.To speed up their ripening. D.To improve their nutrition.
3.What is "a juicer" in the last paragraph
A.A dessert. B.A drink. C.A container. D.A machine.
4.From which is the text probably taken

(三)El Nino, a Spanish term for “the Christ child”, was named by South American fisherman who noticed that the global weather pattern, which happens every two to seven years, reduced the amount of fishes caught around Christmas. El Nifio sees warm water, collected over several years in the western Pacific, flow back eastwards when winds that normally blow westwards weaken, or sometimes the other way round.
The weather effects both good and bad, are felt in many places. Rich countries gain more from powerful Ninos, on balance, than they lose. A study found that a strong Nino in 1997 helped American’s economy grow by 15 billion, partly because of better agricultural harvest, farmers in the Midwest gained from extra rain. The total rise in agricultural in rich countries in growth than the fall in poor ones.
But in Indonesia extremely dry forests are in flames. A multi-year drought (干旱)in south-east Brazil is becoming worse. Though heavy rains brought about by El Nino may relieve the drought in California, they are likely to cause surface flooding and other disasters.
The most recent powerful Nino, in 1997-98, killed around 21,000 people and caused damage worth $36 billion around the globe. But such Ninos come with months of warning, and so much is known about how they happen that governments can prepare. According to the Overseas Development Institute (ODI), however, just 12% of disaster-relief funding in the past two decades has gone on reducing risks in advance, rather than recovery and rebuilding afterwards. This is despite evidence that a dollar spent on risk-reduction saves at least two on reconstruction.
Simple improvements to infrastructure (基础设施)can reduce the spread of disease. Better sewers (下水道)make it less likely that heavy rain is followed by an outbreak of the disease of bad stomach. Stronger bridges mean villages are less likely to be left without food and medicine after floods. According to a paper in 2011 by Mr Hsiang and co-authors, civil conflict is related to El Nino's harmful effects—and the poorer the country, the stronger the link. Though the relationship may not be causal, helping divided communities to prepare for disasters would at least reduce the risk that those disasters are followed by killing and wounding people. Since the poorest are least likely to make up for their losses from disasters linked to El Nino, reducing their losses needs to be the priority.
1.What can we learn about El Nino in Paragraph 1
A.It is named after a South American fisherman.
B.It takes place almost every year all over the world.
C.It forces fishermen to stop catching fish around Christmas.
D.It sees the changes of water flow direction in the ocean.
2.What may El Ninos bring about to the countries affected
A.Agricultural harvests in rich countries fall.
B.Droughts become more harmful than floods.
C.Rich countries’ gains are greater than their losses.
D.Poor countries suffer less from droughts economically.
3.The data provided by ODI in Paragraph 4 suggest that_________.
A.more investment should go to risk reduction
B.governments of poor countries need more aid
C.victims of El Nino deserve more compensation
D.recovery and reconstruction should come first
4.What is the author’s purpose in writing the passage
A.To introduce El Nino and its origin.
B.To explain the consequences of El Nino.
C.To show ways of fighting against El Nino.
D.To urge people to prepare for El Nino.
(四 )Why College Is Not Home
The college years are supposed to be a time for important growth in autonomy(自主性) and the development of adult identity. However, now they are becoming an extended period of adolescence, during which many of today’s students and are not shouldered with adult responsibilities.
For previous generations, college was decisive break from parental control; guidance and support needed help from people of the same age and from within. In the past two decades, however, continued connection with and dependence on family, thanks to cellphones, email and social media, have increased significantly. Some parents go so far as to help with coursework. Instead of promoting the idea of college as a passage from the shelter of the family to autonomy and adult responsibility, universities have given in to the idea that they should provide the same environment as that of the home.
To prepare for increased autonomy and responsibility, college needs to be a time of exploration and experimentation. This process involves “trying on” new ways of thinking about oneself both intellectually(在思维方面) and personally. While we should provide “safe spaces” within colleges, we must also make it safe to express opinions and challenge majority views. Intellectual growth and flexibility are fostered on debate and questioning.
Learning to deal with the social world is equally important. Because a college community(群体) differs from the family, many students will struggle to find a sense of belonging. If students rely on administrators to regulate their social behavior and thinking pattern, they are not facing the challenge of finding an identity within a larger and complex community.
Moreover, the tendency for universities to monitor and shape student behavior runs up against another characteristic of young adults: the response to being controlled by their elders. If acceptable social behavior is too strictly defined(规定) and controlled, the insensitive or aggressive behavior that administrators are seeking to minimize may actually be encouraged.
It is not surprising that young people are likely to burst out, particularly when there are reasons to do so. Our generation once joined hands and stood firm at times of national emergency. What is lacking today is the conflict between adolescent’s desire for autonomy and their understanding of an unsafe world. Therefore, there is the desire for their dorms to be replacement homes and not places to experience intellectual growth.
Every college discussion about community values, social climate and behavior should include recognition of the developmental importance of student autonomy and self-regulation, of the necessary tension between safety and self-discovery.
1.What’s the author’s attitude toward continued parental guidance to college students
A.Sympathetic B.Disapproving C.Supportive D.Neutral
2.The underlined word “passage” in Paragraph 2 means ______.
A.change B.choice C.text D.extension
3.According to the author, what role should college play
A.to develop a shared identity among students
B.to define and regulate students’ social behavior
C.To provide a safe world without tension for students
D.To foster students’ intellectual and personal development
4.Which of the following shows the development of ideas in the passage
I:Introduction P:Point Sp:Sub-point (次要点) C:Conclusion
A. B.
C. D.

An Extension of the Human Brain
Other people can help us compensate for our mental and emotional deficiencies (欠缺),much as a wooden leg can compensate for a physical deficiency. To be exact, other people can extend our intelligence and help us understand and adjust our emotions. When another person helps us in such ways, he or she is participating in what I’ve called a "social prosthetic (义肢的)system." Such systems do not need to operate face-to-face, and it’s clear to me that the Internet is expanding the range of my own social prosthetic systems. It’s already a big bank of many minds. Even in its current state, the Internet has extended my memory and judgment.
Regarding memory: Once I look up something on the Internet, I don’t need to keep all the details for future use—I know where to find that information again and can quickly and easily do so. More generally, the Internet functions as if it were my memory. This function of the Internet is particularly striking when I’m writing; I’m no longer comfortable writing if I’m not connected to the Internet. It’s become natural to check facts as I write, taking a minute or two to dip into PubMed, Wikipedia, or other websites.
Regarding judgment: The Internet has made me smarter in matters small and large. For example, when I’m writing a textbook, it has become second nature to check a dozen definitions of a key term, which helps me dig into the core and understand its meaning. But more than that, I now regularly compare my views with those of many others. If I have a "new idea," I now quickly look to see whether somebody else has already thought of it, or something similar—and I then compare what I think with what others have thought. This certainly makes my own views clearer. Moreover, I can find out whether my reactions to an event are reasonable enough by reading about those of others on the Internet.
These effects of the Internet have become even more striking since I’ve begun using a smartphone. I now regularly pull out my phone to check a fact, watch a video, read weibo. Such activities fill the spaces that used to be dead time (such as waiting for somebody to arrive for a lunch meeting).
But that’s the upside (好处). The downside is that in those dead periods I often would let my thoughts flow and sometimes would have an unexpected insight or idea. Those opportunities are now fewer and farther between.

(一)答案:1.C; 2.B; 3.D; 4.C
解析:这是一篇议论文。在当今社会,人们在公共场合或沉迷于智能手机,或与不舒服的沉默抗争,陌生人之间缺乏沟通。但人与人之间是需要适当的交谈闲聊的,闲聊是人际关系社会交往必不可少的部分,而且也有很多好处。
1. 主旨大意题。题干问的是:第一段描述了什么现象。在公共场合(比如在电梯里,在银行排队,或在飞机上)人们深深地专注于他们的智能手机,或者更糟糕的是,与不舒服的沉默抗争。有此可知,陌生人之间缺乏沟通。A项意为:沉迷于智能手机。B项意为:在公共场所不适当的行为。C项意为:陌生人之间缺乏沟通。D项意为:对缓慢的服务不耐烦。故选C项。
2. 推理判断题。题干问得是对于Carducci来说,成功的闲聊中重要的是什么。根据第三段最后一句“The key to successful small talk is learning how to connect with others, not just communicate with them”(成功闲聊的关键是学习如何与他们交流,而不仅仅是与他们沟通。)由此推断C符合题意。A项意为:表现出良好的礼貌。B项意为:与他人有关的。C项意为:专注于一个话题。D项意为:做商业交易。故选B项。
3. 推理判断题。题干问的是:咖啡店的研究对闲聊有什么建议。根据第四段的调查结果可知,那些与服务员聊天的人,有显著的积极情绪和更好的咖啡店体验。由此可知,D项符合题意。A项意为:闲聊改善了家庭关系。B项意为:闲聊提高了人们的信心。C项意为:闲聊和正式谈话一样重要。D项意为:闲聊让人感觉很好。故选D项。
4. 主旨大意题。整篇文章刚开始介绍了社会的现象(公共场合人们沉迷于智能手机,陌生人之间缺乏沟通交流),接着分析了这一问题的原因,接下来有专家对闲聊进行了研究,最后得出结论,闲聊都有什么样的好处。A项意为:谈话很重要。B项意为:闲聊的方法。C项意为:闲聊的好处。D项意为:不舒服的沉默。故选C项。
点睛:我们在做阅读理解时,尽量找出每段的主讲内容(可能是一句话或是一个短语),这样有利于整篇文章的把握,有利于做文章大意题。如4题,很显然本文讲的不是重要性也不是方法更不是沉默,所以ABD都可以轻松排除。
(二)答案:1-4.CBDB
解析:本文是一篇说明文。文章讲述了人们热爱水果丰盛的7月,这时候各种水果营养丰富且含有对人体有益的微量元素,尤其是香蕉。我们可以利用它做一些孩子喜欢的甜点或冰淇淋。
1.细节理解题。根据第二段中的"As for cherries(樱桃) , they are so delicious who cares 至于樱桃,因为它们很好吃谁在乎呢 )"可知,作者喜欢的是它的美味。故选C。
2.细节理解题。根据第三段中的"If you like, a squeeze of fresh lemon juice on the bananas will prevent them turning brown."可知,往香蕉上滴新鲜的柠檬汁是为了防止香蕉变成褐色,故新鲜的柠檬汁是被用来保持香蕉的颜色的。故选B。
3.词义猜测题。根据最后一段中的"they love feeding the fruit and frozen bananas into the top of the machine and watching the ice cream come out below"可知,孩子们喜欢把一些水果和冷冻的香蕉放入到这台机器的上部,然后看到冰激凌从下面出来。由此可以推出"a juicer"就是一台机器。故选D。
4.文章出处题。文章首先指出七月是水果盛产的季节,并指出各种水果富含的营养,最后一段指出我们可以用"a juicer"为孩子们做一些甜点和冰激凌,所以最可能是从健康杂志上摘取的文章。故选B。
(三)答案:1.D;2.C;3.A;4.D
解析:1.细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句 El Nino sees warm water, collected over several years in the western Pacific ,flow back eastwards when winds that normally blow westwards weaken, or sometimes the other way round.可知厄尔尼诺现象见证了海洋中水流方向的变化。故D正确。
2.细节理解题。根据第二段第二句Rich countries gain more from powerful Nino ,on balance,than they lose.可知富有国家从厄尔尼诺现象中得到的好处要大于所得到的坏处。接着在第三句中列举了1997年的厄尔尼诺给美国经济带来的好处。故C项正确。
3.推理判断题。根据第四段第三句According to the Overseas Development Institute (ODI),however,just 12% of disaster-relief funding in the past two decades has gone on reducing risks in advance,rather than recovery and rebuilding afterwards. 根据ODI的观点,为应对厄尔尼诺政府应该做更多的投资预防厄尔尼诺现象的危害而不是在出现问题以后再进行重新补救和恢复。故A项正确。
4.目的意图题。本文主要介绍了厄尔尼诺现象对地球的影响,并告诉我们的政府应该做更多的投资预防厄尔尼诺的危害而不是在出现问题以后再进行重新补救和恢复。再根据最后一句“Since the poorest are least likely to make up for their losses from disasters linked to El Nino, reducing their losses needs to be the priority.”各国政府要把减少损失放在优先的位置。也就是要事先做好准备。故D项正确。
(四)答案:1.B; 2.A; 3.D; 4.C
解析:1.大学并不是温暖的家庭,也不能成为学生的家庭。大学时期应该是培养自主性和自我同一性的重要时期。大学是孩子脱离父母控制的决定性时期,因此,学校不应该成为像家庭一样让孩子依赖的地方。本题为细观点态度题。
根据第一段“The college years are supposed to be a time for important growth in autonomy(自主性) and the development of adult identity. However...”可知,作者认为,大学不应该成为孩子们依赖的“家庭”,说明作者不赞成父母继续指导上大学的孩子,故选B。
2.猜测词义题。根据“from the shelter of the family to autonomy and adult responsibility” 可知,从家庭的庇护到自主性和成年人的责任,这是一种转变、变化,故选A。
3.推理判断题。每个人的个性都是不同的,排除A;根据第四段“If students rely on administrators to regulate their social behavior and thinking pattern, they are not facing...”可知,作者不赞成大学管理者约朿学生的社会行为,排除B;大学不是一个无忧无虑的场所,排除C;大学应该是学习知识和促进学生成长的地方,故选D。
4.篇章结构题。根据第四段“Learning to deal with the social world is equally important.”中的“equally important”和第五段的“moreover”可知,第四段和第五段是第三段的次要论点,故选C。

答案:Internet ;participates/joins;keeping;all/different/various;heart/core;check;judge;mixed/two ; convenient;reduce
解析:本文是一篇论说文。作者通过自身的体验阐述了互联网和智能手机给人们学习和生活带来的巨大影响。
①根据文章中的 “ the Internet is expanding the range of my own social prosthetic systems. It’s already a big bank of many minds”可知本题答案为Internet。
②根据第一段中的“he or she is participating in what I’ve called a ‘ social prosthetic system’” 可知,对“我们”有帮助的这些人或物参与到“我们”的日常生活中来,因此本题答案是participates/joins 。
③根据第二段中的 “ I don’t need to keep all the details for future use”可知,“我们”没有必要记住这些信息,因此本题答案是 keeping。
④根据第三段中的“…has made me smarter in matters small and large. ”可知,互联网使“我们”在大事和小事上都很聪明,in matters small and large 就相当于 all/different/ various kinds of things(各种各样的事情)。
⑤根据第三段中的 “ helps me dig into the core” 可知, 本题答案为heart/core。
⑥根据第三段中的 “ it has become second nature to check a dozen definitions of a key term”可知,互联网可以让“我们”去核实“我们”的想法,因此本题的答案为check。
⑦根据第一段最后一句中的 “ the Internet has extended my memory and judgment”和第三段最后一句可知,互联网可以让 “我们”判断自己对于某件事的反应是否合理,因此本题答案为judge。
⑧文章的最后两段阐述了智能手机给人们生活带来的好的和不好的影响,因此本题答案为mixed/two。
⑨根据倒数第二段中的“ regularly ”可知智能手机使得使用网络非常便利,因此本题答案为convenient。
⑩根据最后一句可知现在这样的机会很少了,故本题答案为reduce。

答案:Dear Xiao Ming,
Your letter reached me yesterday. It said in your letter that you were punished for using cell phones,which puzzled you.
There is no doubt that cell phones can bring us much convenience. We can keep in touch with friends and families wherever we are. Besides, the cell phone is a way to have fun. However,there are some problems with using cell phones. The ring of phones can disturb teachers and students in the class. It has been proved that using cell phones frequently does harm to health. Another problem is that some students can spend too much time and money on cell phones, sending messages and surfing the internet,which will lead to bad results in study.
As a student, you should concentrate on study. It is right for the school to prevent you from using cell phones.
Yours,
Li Hua
