I sent a message to my sister at 12：30 pm during my lunch to ask her about my father's progress.He was having his second knee surgery and my expectations were the same as the previous successful surgery.My brother picked me up from school and we headed for the hospital.
When we arrived at the hospital，my first question was “How is he doing？” My father was connected to a breathing machine and his face was very swollen.I tried my best not to cry because I was supposed to interpret for him what was happening as the nurses did not speak Spanish.I had never seen my father this way.He looked so fragile and different from the strong man I knew.I asked him how he was feeling and he said he was fine.I returned to the lobby and I was in a state where I realized that my hero，best friend，and loved one in life was in a dangerous state and at that point anything could happen.
I recalled what happened when I was a child.“I'm going to the store”was always his words，and that was without doubt my cue to follow him.We would walk to the car，and sometimes if I was lucky，I got away with sitting in the front seat.We would arrive at the store and he always said “Get whatever you want and something for Ana”；Ana is my sister.My dad and I were best friends.He never showed preference with his children，but I just always happened to follow him.It was okay for me to cry when I wanted something because I was his youngest girl，he couldn't say no to me.
All along my father had dedicated his life to giving us the best.Growing up does not necessarily mean that one must distance oneself from his parents because it is childish；it is time to take action and embrace the feelings because it is the right thing to do.Life presents us with signals to acknowledge and value what is the most important in life.
1．How was the author's father when she arrived at the hospital
A．He was dangerously weak.
B．He was worried about his life.
C．He remained healthy and strong.
D．He was unconscious and couldn't speak.
2．How did the author feel after knowing her father's situation
A.Sympathetic. B．Worried.
C．Optimistic. D．Indifferent.
3．What can we learn about the author's childhood
A．She never took no for an answer.
B．She was her father's favorite child.
C．She followed her father a lot as a young girl.
D．She got away from her family at an early age.
4．What advice does the author give at the end of the text

B．Grow up and share your parents' responsibility.
C．Care about your parents' health before it's too late.
D．Distance yourself from your family and be independent.

Having hundreds of friends online is no substitute for a handful of close friends in real life.Researchers discovered that people with only a few friends were at least as happy as those with far more if many of theirs were online.The number of “peripheral others”，someone connected with online—former classmates and co workers，for example—had no connection with how satisfied they felt.
Scientists did their study using data from two online surveys conducted on 1，496 people by a non profit research organization.People taking part in the study revealed their ages，the make up of their social networks，how often they had different types of social interactions and their own feelings of well being.They included details of how often and how they interacted with family or neighbors，and whether they included people who provided services for them in their networks.The number of close friends someone had was the only thing that influenced how satisfied they were with their social life.
“Loneliness has less to do with the number of friends you have，and more to do with how you feel about your friends，” said Dr.Bruine，an expert of the study.“If you feel lonely，it may be more helpful to make a positive connection with a friend than to try and seek out new people to meet.”
In the study，they found older people tended to have smaller social networks.Younger people's were larger but they were mostly made up of “peripheral others”—not true friends，just people they knew—and did not contribute to their happiness.
Even variations in the number of family members or neighbors somebody spent time with did not affect how happy they were with their social life.Dr.Bruine said her research echoed other findings showing people would be happier if a larger proportion of their online friends were actually their friends in reality.
She added，“Stereotypes of aging tend to paint older adults in many cultures as sad and lonely.But the research shows that older adults' smaller networks didn't weaken social satisfaction and well being.In fact，older adults tend to report better well being than younger adults.”
5．What has a good influence on one's happiness according to the study
A．Having impersonal networks of friends.
B．Meeting close friends face to face.
C．Helping familiar co workers.
D．Keeping in touch with family members online.
6．What did the 1，496 people taking part in the study have to do
A．Keep off using the Internet.
B．Show their attitudes to happiness.
C．Reveal their social life thoroughly.
D．Find “peripheral others” from their friends.
7．Who is more likely to be attacked by loneliness according to the study
A．Parents living with their children.
B．Older adults with fewer friends online.
C．Those having fewer relatives or neighbors.
D．Young people without friends in reality.
8．What does the underlined word “paint” mean in the last paragraph
A．Treat. B．Draw.
C．Describe. D．Criticize.

语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。文中介绍了一项研究，该研究发现在现实生活中拥有朋友比在网上拥有虚拟朋友能拥有更多的幸福感。而且与人们以往的成见不同的是，拥有少数真实朋友的老年人比拥有大量网上虚拟朋友的年轻人更有幸福感。
5．What has a good influence on one's happiness according to the study
A．Having impersonal networks of friends.
B．Meeting close friends face to face.
C．Helping familiar co workers.
D．Keeping in touch with family members online.
B [推理判断题。根据第一段第二、三句可知，有的人虽然朋友少，但比起那些朋友多但大多数通过网络来联系(如他们的前同学和前同事)的人而言，前者起码和后者一样快乐。由此可知，和亲密朋友在现实中接触会让人更幸福，故选B项。]
6．What did the 1，496 people taking part in the study have to do
A．Keep off using the Internet.
B．Show their attitudes to happiness.
C．Reveal their social life thoroughly.
D．Find “peripheral others” from their friends.
C [细节理解题。根据题干中的1，496 people taking part in the study可以定位到文章第二段。根据第二段第二、三句可知，参与这项研究的人透露了他们的年龄、社交网络的构成、进行不同类型社交互动的频率以及他们自己的幸福感。其中包括他们与家人或邻居互动的频率和方式，以及他们的社交网络中是否包括为他们提供服务的人。由此可知，参与研究的1，496个人需要详尽地提供关于他们社交生活的信息。故选C项。]
7．Who is more likely to be attacked by loneliness according to the study
A．Parents living with their children.
B．Older adults with fewer friends online.
C．Those having fewer relatives or neighbors.
D．Young people without friends in reality.
D [推理判断题。根据文章最后三段的内容可知，研究发现老年人社交范围小，但大都是现实中的朋友；年轻人社交对象多，但虚拟世界中的朋友并没有为他们带来更多的幸福感。因此现实中没有朋友的年轻人更容易遭到孤独感的侵袭，故选D项。]
8．What does the underlined word “paint” mean in the last paragraph
A．Treat. B．Draw.
C．Describe. D．Criticize.
C [词义猜测题。根据画线词所在句中的“as sad and lonely”可推知，画线词所在句表示，在许多文化中，对变老的刻板印象往往会把老年人描述为悲伤和孤独的人。故选C项。describe...as...意为“把……描述为……”。]

语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。作者在文中介绍了三种不用课本和课堂材料就能学习语言的方式。
1．解析： 考查固定句式。when it comes to...是固定句式，表示“当涉及……”。
答案： when
2．解析： 考查形容词。本空所填词在从句中作表语，与fun“有趣的”并列用来说明language learning的特征，故填形容词accessible。
答案： accessible
3．解析： 考查介词。我找到了把语言学习与我的日常生活联系起来的有趣的方式。connect...with...表示“把……和……联系起来”。
答案： with
4．解析： 考查祈使句。分析句子结构可知，本句没有主语，因此是一个祈使句，祈使句要用动词原形开头，故填change。
答案： change
5．解析： 考查名词。根据空前的will increase和空后的介词to可知，本空要填名词作increase的宾语，故填exposure，exposure是不可数名词，在此为“接触”的意思。
答案： exposure
6．解析： 考查独立主格结构。分析句子结构可知，many of them...vocabulary前的句子有谓语动词，两个句子之间没有连词，由此可以判断，many of them...vocabulary是独立主格结构，them指主句中的words and phrases，add与many of them是逻辑上的动宾关系，因此用过去分词。
答案： added
7．解析： 考查非谓语动词。由句意可知，找歌词并写下歌词的目的是把这些歌词记住，故此处用不定式作目的状语。
答案： to learn
8．解析： 考查副词。分析句子结构可知，该空修饰动名词短语 reading short stories，故用副词形式。
答案： simply
9．解析： 考查比较级。根据后面表示比较含义的than the beginner level可知，这里指提升到更高的水平，应用advanced“高级的，高等的”的比较级形式more advanced。故填more。
答案： more
10．解析： 考查时态。根据下文的“because you already know the storyline”可知，此处强调已经完成的动作对现在的影响，表示找到你已经读过的用母语写的书，故用现在完成时。
答案： have read
