It was a Sunday evening. Tia was forcing her mother to take her to the park. But mother being an IT professional and working for 10 hours a day preferred to take a rest. Tia finally got her mother to take her to the park that day. The park was fully equipped with colorful slides and swings.
While Tia was playing on the slides, mother chose to sit in a quiet corner and started working on her phone. Tia wanted her mother to watch her play but mother was not interested to do so. While playing, Tia was watching other children too. They seemed happy. Most of the kids were playing with their grandparents and the grandparents were also interested in every act of their grandchildren.
Tia suddenly started getting bored and no longer wanted to play in the park. While she was about to leave, there was a small pat on her shoulder. An old gentleman was smiling at her. Tia smiled back too. He started telling her how amazingly she balanced herself on the slide. Tia got excited since somebody was watching her play and was amused by her acts. She went back to the slides and started playing again in the hope that the old gentleman would watch her again and would get amused and he did!
From distance mother could just see Tia waving at someone. She got curious and started walking towards her. Then she saw the old gentleman talking to Tia and suddenly got angry. Without thinking for a bit, mother shouted at Tia and asked her not to talk to strangers.
Tia instantly replied, “He is my grandpa.” Mother was shocked. The old gentleman smiled at her and said, “I saw this little girl playing alone and looking for some attention. She did not get any as you were busy on your phone. I understood her pain as I was alone and looking to give attention. I have all the time in this world as my children have moved abroad.

In the state of Qin, there was a man called Shang Yang. He was a statesman（政治家）and worked out many reforms（改革）for the state, like focusing（关注）on farming and giving rewards（奖励）to soldiers who were successful at war. But these reforms were not easily carried out at first. Most people didn’t trust Shang.
To solve this problem, Shang came up with an idea. He put a thin wooden pole at the south gate of the capital of Qin. Many people came to see him.
Then, in front of the crowd, he said loudly, “The one who takes this pole to the north gate will get 10 gold pieces.”
It was a simple job and the reward was large. However, some time passed and no one stepped forward. They all thought Shang was joking.
Hearing no answer, Shang stepped forward and said, “The reward now goes to 50 gold pieces.”
This offer was unbelievable. Finally, a man from the crowd came forward. He put the pole on his shoulders and walked to the north gate. True to his word, Shang gave the man 50 gold pieces.
After that, the people of Qin were all talking about what Shang did at the south gate. They believed he was a man of his word. So when Shang began carrying out his reforms, the people followed him. Under these great reforms, Qin grew strong and unified all the states, becoming the first empire of China.
Credibility（诚信）is very important for everyone. It will help people believe what they say and respect them.

D. he was going to introduce his reforms at the north gate
35. What does the underlined word “unified” mean
A. 统一标准 B. 统一 C. 多重标准 D. 分裂
36. What’s the main idea of this story
A. Money talks. B. Reforms are important.
C. Keeping promises can earn people’s trust. D. Earning people’s trust is never easy.

Loneliness, a natural feeling, is not something most people want to experience. When you feel lonely as a result of missing a loved one or a place, or preparing for a time spent away from your friends and family, here are some suggestions for you to avoid it.
Focus on your health. Studies have shown that poor sleep, lack of physical activity and unhealthy food can let you feel tired and sad, causing the feeling of loneliness. Try to get eight hours of sleep every night, try to take part in at least 30 minutes of physical activity, and don’t eat junk food. Bating more fruit and vegetables will also help.
Bring an old hobby back to life. It’s much more difficult to feel lonely if you’re actively enjoying an activity, especially one that you are good at. If you’ve got a hobby that you love, try to spare time for your hobby even if you are busy, such as reading, playing a sport, cooking, painting.
Avoid staying at home all day long. Spending your time in nature will probably improve your feelings and help you get over loneliness. Sunshine makes you feel happier and less focused on your loneliness. You can go hiking, go boating or go on a bike ride if you are not interested in just walking around. You may go for a coffee with your friends or even make big plans so that you have events to look forward to. First, you can think about the possible activities you might want to take part in. Then, spend a few days planning out the event, so that you are fully prepared and stress-free. If possible, include other people in your plan to make your activity more interesting.
All in all, it seems that facing your own loneliness is the first step to avoid loneliness. Do your best to follow the things above. It takes efforts, but it is worth your try.
37. Why do people feel lonely
A. Because they live in a poor place.
B. Because they miss their loved people.
C. Because they like to experience that feeling.
D. Because they don’t want to stay with their friends and family.
38. According to Paragraph 2, which of the following may lead to loneliness
A. Junk food. B. Enough sleep.
C. Physical activity. D. Fruit and vegetables.
39. What can you learn from Paragraph 4
A. Spending time planning the event will make us feel stressed.
B. Spending time at home alone can help avoid loneliness.
C. Enjoy the sunshine and we can feel less lonely.
D. It’s impossible to meet friends often.
40. What’s the main idea of this passage
A. Scientific reports about loneliness. B. Tips for choosing a suitable hobby.
C. Suggestions on planning out events. D. Advice on staying away from loneliness.

In the state of Qin, there was a man called Shang Yang.

But these reforms were not easily carried out at first. Most people didn’t trust Shang.
To solve this problem, Shang came up with an idea. He put a thin wooden pole at the south gate of the capital of Qin. Many people came to see him.
Then, in front of the crowd, he said loudly, “The one who takes this pole to the north gate will get 10 gold pieces.”
It was a simple job and the reward was large. However, some time passed and no one stepped forward. They all thought Shang was joking.
Hearing no answer, Shang stepped forward and said, “The reward now goes to 50 gold pieces.”
This offer was unbelievable. Finally, a man from the crowd came forward. He put the pole on his shoulders and walked to the north gate. True to his word, Shang gave the man 50 gold pieces.
After that, the people of Qin were all talking about what Shang did at the south gate. They believed he was a man of his word. So when Shang began carrying out his reforms, the people followed him. Under these great reforms, Qin grew strong and unified all the states, becoming the first empire of China.

Loneliness, a natural feeling, is not something most people want to experience. When you feel lonely as a result of missing a loved one or a place, or preparing for a time spent away from your friends and family, here are some suggestions for you to avoid it.
Focus on your health. Studies have shown that poor sleep, lack of physical activity and unhealthy food can let you feel tired and sad, causing the feeling of loneliness. Try to get eight hours of sleep every night, try to take part in at least 30 minutes of physical activity, and don’t eat junk food. Bating more fruit and vegetables will also help.
Bring an old hobby back to life. It’s much more difficult to feel lonely if you’re actively enjoying an activity, especially one that you are good at. If you’ve got a hobby that you love, try to spare time for your hobby even if you are busy, such as reading, playing a sport, cooking, painting.
Avoid staying at home all day long. Spending your time in nature will probably improve your feelings and help you get over loneliness. Sunshine makes you feel happier and less focused on your loneliness. You can go hiking, go boating or go on a bike ride if you are not interested in just walking around. You may go for a coffee with your friends or even make big plans so that you have events to look forward to. First, you can think about the possible activities you might want to take part in. Then, spend a few days planning out the event, so that you are fully prepared and stress-free. If possible, include other people in your plan to make your activity more interesting.
All in all, it seems that facing your own loneliness is the first step to avoid loneliness. Do your best to follow the things above. It takes efforts, but it is worth your try.
37. Why do people feel lonely
A. Because they live in a poor place.
B. Because they miss their loved people.
C. Because they like to experience that feeling.
D. Because they don’t want to stay with their friends and family.
38. According to Paragraph 2, which of the following may lead to loneliness
A. Junk food. B. Enough sleep.
C. Physical activity. D. Fruit and vegetables.
39. What can you learn from Paragraph 4
A. Spending time planning the event will make us feel stressed.
B. Spending time at home alone can help avoid loneliness.
C. Enjoy the sunshine and we can feel less lonely.
D. It’s impossible to meet friends often.
40. What’s the main idea of this passage
A. Scientific reports about loneliness. B. Tips for choosing a suitable hobby.
C. Suggestions on planning out events. D. Advice on staying away from loneliness.
【答案】37. B 38. A 39. C 40. D
【解析】孤独，一种自然的感觉。本文主要介绍帮助我们避免孤独的几个建议。

38细节理解题。根据“Studies have shown that poor sleep, lack of physical activity and unhealthy food can let you feel tired and sad, causing the feeling of loneliness.”可知，睡眠不足、缺乏体力活动和不健康的食物会让你感到疲惫和悲伤，从而导致孤独感。故选A。

参考范文
Dear mom and dad,
How time flies and this term is going to end soon.
In this term, I have made much progress. I have studied hard and formed good habits of learning, including previewing before class and reviewing what I have learned after school. As a result, I have improved my English greatly. In addition, I have always been willing to help my classmates with their studies and have made some really good friends. What's more, I have challenged myself to difficult tasks and have tried to live independently and think in a critical way.
The winter holiday is coming. If possible, I would like to take a trip with you, to enjoy the beautiful scenery, taste delicious food and get relaxed. Besides, I will spend some time reading the books that I like so that I can learn more about the Chinese and Western cultures. At the same time, I will help you with the housework. Mom and dad, you've worked so hard all the time! I hope you can have some rest. Then, I plan to work harder on my weak subjects and get ready for the coming new term.
I hope we can have a wonderful winter holiday together. I am looking forward to it!
Yours,
Li Hua
