五、阅读理解(本题共15小题，每小题2分，共30分)
A
If you want someone ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) to open up to you, just make them laugh. Sharing a good laugh makes people more willing to tell others something personal about themselves, without even necessarily being aware that they are doing so. These are among the findings of a study led by Alan Gray of University College London in the UK. The study was published in the journal Human Nature.
Gray and his c ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )olleagues gathered 112 students from Oxford University in England, into groups of three. It was the first time that the students had seen one another. The groups watched a 10-minute video together, without chatting with one another. The videos differed in the amount of laughter and positive feelings they produced. One featured a stand-up comedy by Michael McIntyre, another a golf instruction video, and the third a pleasant nature documentary of the BBC’s Planet Earth series. The levels of laughter and the students’ emotional state after watching the video were then measured.
The students ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )who had a good laugh together shared more personal information about each other than the groups who did not watch the funny video. Gray suggests this is not only because it is a positive experience, but because of the physiology(生物反应)behind a good laugh. It actually causes the release of the so-called “happy hormone(荷尔蒙)”. The findings support the idea that laughter encourages people to tell more personal information to strangers.
Interestingly, the pe ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )rson who told their personal information seldom noticed that he or she had done so. It was only the listener who realized it had happened. “These results suggest that laughter should be a good topic for those who are interested in the development of social relationships. ” says Gray. This suggests laughter can serve as a shortcut(捷径)to forming new relationships. 21教育名师原创作品

“I cannot believe it，” her mother said angrily.
As Farah left the k ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )itchen, her father called her from the living room.
Farah went to her ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) father and paled when she saw the exam report in his hands. “Farah, what has happened to your grades You have failed in mathematics，”her father said.
Farah had no ans ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )wer. The truth was that the activities of Purple Girls Club left her with very little time for studies.
“Farah, it says tha ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )t you can take part in supplementary exams (补考). If your grades don't improve then, I'll cancel (取消) your trip to Spain.”
Farah went to her ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) room and called Gina, the leader of Purple Girls Club, “Gina, can you help me to complete my notes before the exams？”
Gina laughed. “Exams Who cares about exams？”
One by one, she ca ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )lled her friends in the club but no one seemed to care or wanted to help.
Farah knew Hafsa wo ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )uld help her. Farah also knew Hafsa had been hurt by her, but Hafsa said, “If you need any help, just let me know. We can study together till your exams.”

“Farah, you know ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )our rules. You cannot be friends with those who do not belong to our club.”

There are many ex ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )pressions with heart. One of them is to “lose your heart” to someone. When that happens, you have fallen in love. But if the person who “won your heart” does not love you, then you are sure to “have a broken heart”. In your sadness, you think that the person you love is “hard-hearted”, and in fact, “has a heart of stone”.
You may decide t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )o “pour out your heart” to a friend. Telling someone about your personal problems can often make you feel better.
If your friend do ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )es not seem to understand how painful your broken heart is, you may ask her to “have a heart”. You are asking your friend to show some sympathy (同情) for your situation. Your friend's “heart is in the right place” if she says she is sorry for how you feel.
If your frien ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )d says, “My heart bleeds (流血) for you.”, she means the opposite. She is a cold-hearted person who does not really care about your situation.
When you are fe ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )eling afraid, “your heart is in your mouth”. You might say, for example, that your heart was in your mouth when you asked a bank to lend you some money to pay for a new house.
If that bank says no t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )o you, do not “lose heart”. Be strong-hearted. Sit down with the banker and have a “heart-to-heart” talk. Be open and honest about your situation. The bank may have a “change of heart” and agree to lend you the money. Then you could stop worrying and “put your heart at rest”.
8.If the person wh ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )o won your heart does not love you, what do you think of her
A.She loses her heart. B.She has a strong heart.
C.She has a broken heart. D.She has a heart of stone.
9.If your friend says, “My heart bleeds for you.”, she may .
A.have a heart trouble B.not care much about you
C.have a right heart D.tell you her personal information
10.Which exp ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ression can best describe the feeling when a student has to see his headmaster
A.Have a heart. B.A broken heart.
C.Lose one's heart. D.Sb's heart is in one's mouth.
11.What is the main idea of the last paragraph
A.Don't lose heart if your request is refused.
B.The bank lends money to those who need it most.
C.A strong-hearted person always puts his heart at rest.
D.A “heart-to-heart” talk means being open to the banker.

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 p ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )roblem 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 t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )alk 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, El ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )izabeth 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 p ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )eople 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.21cnjy.com
12．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.
13．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.
14．What does the coffee shop study suggest about small talk 21世纪教育网版权所有
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.
15．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

七、阅读表达。（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）
I still remember ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )my first day of second grade. I was led to a classroom. No teacher yet. Girls talking and laughing. Boys playing games.
I took some pa ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )per and a pencil, picked a desk, and went to work. Minutes later, a girl came over and sat on top of my desk.
“What are you doing ” she said.
“ I am doing Fun with ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )Number" replied. Then I rose from my seat to get my pencil sharpener. I had no idea that when I stood, the desk would fall over and hurt her leg.
Her name was Lucy. Fr ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )om that day on we got to know each other, and she became my best friend. Now we have been close friends for more than 60 years. We often get together and recall the past. 2-1-c-n-j-y
Some TV advertisements ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) try to tell us what children need for school, new shoes, clothes, and schoolbags. But really, children's needs are simple. Besides the basics — to be fed, cared for, and loved — they need the gift of friendship.
For years, I fe ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ared how people saw me. But one day. I finally understood I didn't need to be smart or pretty or popular, but just needed to be kind.
My grandson William re ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )cently finished his preschool and received a prize for “friendship”. Even an Olympic medal wouldn't make me prouder! I think children need to know that they are loved. They need to know they have all they need and that the best way to win friends is to be kind.

2. What was the author doing when Lucy came over

五、阅读理解(本题共15小题，每小题2分，共30分)
A
If you want someon ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e to open up to you, just make them laugh. Sharing a good laugh makes people more willing to tell others something personal about themselves, without even necessarily being aware that they are doing so. These are among the findings of a study led by Alan Gray of University College London in the UK. The study was published in the journal Human Nature.
Gray and his c ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )olleagues gathered 112 students from Oxford University in England, into groups of three. It was the first time that the students had seen one another. The groups watched a 10-minute video together, without chatting with one another. The videos differed in the amount of laughter and positive feelings they produced. One featured a stand-up comedy by Michael McIntyre, another a golf instruction video, and the third a pleasant nature documentary of the BBC’s Planet Earth series. The levels of laughter and the students’ emotional state after watching the video were then measured. 21教育名师原创作品
The students who had ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )a good laugh together shared more personal information about each other than the groups who did not watch the funny video. Gray suggests this is not only because it is a positive experience, but because of the physiology(生物反应)behind a good laugh. It actually causes the release of the so-called “happy hormone(荷尔蒙)”. The findings support the idea that laughter encourages people to tell more personal information to strangers.
Interestingly, ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) the person who told their personal information seldom noticed that he or she had done so. It was only the listener who realized it had happened. “These results suggest that laughter should be a good topic for those who are interested in the development of social relationships. ” says Gray. This suggests laughter can serve as a shortcut(捷径)to forming new relationships.
1. What does th ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e underlined part “being aware” in Paragraph 1 probably mean
A. Guessing. B. Realizing. C. Doubting. D. Planning.
2. What is the physiological influence of laughter
A. It makes people feel very energetic.
B. It is called the body’s natural painkiller.
C. The “happy hormone” is released during laughing.
D. It results in more movements of the muscles in the body.
3. What is the best title for this passage
A. Having a good laugh can help keep you fit.
B. It is interesting to communicate with funny people.
C. Sharing funny videos can help you make more new friends.
D. Laughter may cause people to share their personal information.

C
There are many expr ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )essions with heart. One of them is to “lose your heart” to someone. When that happens, you have fallen in love. But if the person who “won your heart” does not love you, then you are sure to “have a broken heart”. In your sadness, you think that the person you love is “hard-hearted”, and in fact, “has a heart of stone”.
You may decide to “pou ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )r out your heart” to a friend. Telling someone about your personal problems can often make you feel better.
If your frien ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )d does not seem to understand how painful your broken heart is, you may ask her to “have a heart”. You are asking your friend to show some sympathy (同情) for your situation. Your friend's “heart is in the right place” if she says she is sorry for how you feel.
If your frien ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )d says, “My heart bleeds (流血) for you.”, she means the opposite. She is a cold-hearted person who does not really care about your situation.
When you are feeling a ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )fraid, “your heart is in your mouth”. You might say, for example, that your heart was in your mouth when you asked a bank to lend you some money to pay for a new house.
If that bank says no ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )to you, do not “lose heart”. Be strong-hearted. Sit down with the banker and have a “heart-to-heart” talk. Be open and honest about your situation. The bank may have a “change of heart” and agree to lend you the money. Then you could stop worrying and “put your heart at rest”.
8.If the person who w ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )on your heart does not love you, what do you think of her
A.She loses her heart. B.She has a strong heart.
C.She has a broken heart. D.She has a heart of stone.
9.If your friend says, “My heart bleeds for you.”, she may .
A.have a heart trouble B.not care much about you
C.have a right heart D.tell you her personal information
10.Which expression c ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )an best describe the feeling when a student has to see his headmaster
A.Have a heart. B.A broken heart.
C.Lose one's heart. D.Sb's heart is in one's mouth.
11.What is the main idea of the last paragraph
A.Don't lose heart if your request is refused.
B.The bank lends money to those who need it most.
C.A strong-hearted person always puts his heart at rest.
D.A “heart-to-heart” talk means being open to the banker.

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 I ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )t'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 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) 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, El ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )izabeth 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 tha ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )t 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.
12．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.
13．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.
14．What does the coffee shop study suggest about small talk 21*cnjy*com
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.
15．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
【答案】CBDC
【文章大意】本文是一篇议论文。在当今社会 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )，人们在公共场合或沉迷于智能手机，或在不舒服的沉默中挣扎，陌生人之间缺乏沟通。但人与人之间是需要适当的交谈和闲聊的，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。21教育网
12.C 解析：段落大意题 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )。由第一段内容“在公共场合(比如在电梯里，在银行排队，或在飞机上)人们沉浸于他们的智能手机，或者更糟糕的是，在不舒服的沉默中挣扎。”可知，陌生人之间缺乏沟通。故选C项。【来源：21·世纪·教育·网】
13.B 解析：推理判断题。根 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )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别人交流，而不仅仅是与别人沟通)推断B项符合题意。故选B项。2-1-c-n-j-y
14. D 解析：推理判 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )断题。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。故选D项。
15. C 解析：标题判断题。整篇文章刚开始 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )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——闲聊能带来好处。故选C项。【来源：21cnj*y.co*m】

本文主要讲述了作者与自己相别多年的妹妹因机缘巧合在纽约街头相遇的故事，感慨家庭情感的深厚与命运的指引。
详细解析：
第41题 由后文可知，我和我妹妹分开居住，而在此之前我们仅有十四个月的年龄差，暗指联系之深，前后文形成对比关系，故选C。
第42题 上下文联系可知，我和我妹妹分地而居，因此我们的联系似乎因为这样的分离而终止了，此处选ended，表示联系的终止，故选A。
第43题 理解句意，see the sights是固定搭配，表示看看风景，此处意指我去我未婚夫的家，顺道去看看风景，故选C。
第44题 busy street固定搭配，表示繁华的街道，与后文loaded with people/人山人海相呼应，故选D。
第45题 47空前可以看到有一个动作是“yelled back”，表示回喊，所以这里的声音应该是来自后方/behind的，故选B。
第46题 tears came to my eyes固定搭配，表示泪水涌了上来，此处表达作者猜测这是她妹妹的激动与不敢置信，故选A。

My grandson ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )William recently finished his preschool and received a prize for “friendship”. Even an Olympic medal wouldn't make me prouder! I think children need to know that they are loved. They need to know they have all they need and that the best way to win friends is to be kind.
