A
Grandparents Answer a Call
As a third gen ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )eration native of Brownsville, Texas, Mildred Garza never planned to move away. Even when her daughter and son asked her to move to San Antonio to help with their children, she politely refused. Only after a year of friendly discussion did Ms Garza finally say yes. That was four years ago. Today all three generations regard the move as a success, giving them a closer relationship than they would have had in separate cities.21*cnjy*com
No statistics show the ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) number of grandparents like Garza who are moving closer to adult children and grandchildren. Yet there is evidence suggesting that the trend is growing. Even President Obama's mother in law, Marian Robinson, has agreed to leave Chicago and move into the White House to help care for her granddaughters. According to a study by , 83 percent of the people said Mrs Robinson's decision will influence grandparents in the American family. Two thirds believe more families will follow the example of Obama's family.
“In the 1960s we were ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) all a little wild and couldn't get away from home far enough for fast enough to prove we could do it on our own，”says Christine Crosby, publisher of Grand, a magazine for grandparents.“We now realize how important family is and how important it is “to be near them, especially when you're raising children.”
Moving is not f ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )or everyone. Almost every grandparent wants to be with his or her grandchildren and is willing to make sacrifices, but sometimes it is wiser to say no and visit frequently instead. Having your grandchildren far away is hard, especially knowing your adult child is struggling, but giving up the life you know may be harder.2·1·c·n·j·y
1．Why was Garza's move a success
A．It strengthened her family ties.

C．Sacrifice for their struggling children.
D．Get to know themselves better.

In 1973, I was te ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )aching elementary school. Each day, 27 kids entered "The Thinking Laboratory." That was the name students voted for after deciding that "Room 104" was too dull.
Freddy ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )was an average student, but not an average person. He had the rare balance of fun and compassion(同情). He would laugh the loudest over fun and be the saddest over anyone's misfortune.【版权所有：21教育】
Before the school ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) year ended, I gave the kids a special gift, T-shirts with the words "Verbs Are Your Friends" on them. I had advised the kids that while verbs(动词) may seem dull, most of the fun things they do throughout their lives will be verbs.
Through the ye ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ars, I'd run into former students who would provide updates on old classmates. I learned that Freddy did several jobs after his graduation from high school and remained the same caring person I met forty years before. Once, while working overnight at a store, he let a homeless man sleep in his truck. Another time, he lent a friend money to buy a house.
Just last year, ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) I was conducting a workshop when someone knocked at the classroom door. A woman excused the interruption and handed me an envelope. I stopped teaching and opened it up. Inside were the "Verbs" shirt and a note from Freddy's mother. "Freddy passed away on Thanksgiving. He wanted you to have this."
I told the story t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )o the class. As sad as it was, I couldn't help smiling. Although Freddy was taken from us, we all took something from Freddy.
5. What do the unde ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )rlined words "The Thinking Laboratory" in paragraph 1 refer to
A. The elementary school where the kids studied.
B. "Rooml04" in which the kids studied.
C. The workshop in which the kids carried out experiments.www.21-cn-jy.com
D. The high school which was fun as well as dull.
6. What can we learn about the author
A. She hardly kept in touch with her former students.
B. She wrote the passage in 2013 or so.
C. She was very strict with her students.
D. She gave the kids special gifts after the school year.
7. Which of the following words can best describe Freddy

When the teleph ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )one rings late at night，most women guess it must be one of only four or five people calling. A sister Maybe. An emergency Possibly. A mother Probably not at that time of night. Much more probably it is a close female friend calling to tell you that she is heartbroken because she has split up with her boyfriend again or perhaps simply that a good movie has just started on TV.
At a time when ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) families are spread far and wide and marriages often end in divorce，friendships are becoming more and more important.Erika，a 32 year old lawyer，is strengthened by her ten year friendship with her married friend Jane.“I was very sick one night，so I called Jane at about 3：00 am to talk about it，” she says.“She was very supportive and even came over to take me to the doctor's.”【出处：21教育名师】
As American TV shows ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )like Friends have become more popular, many of us are beginning to see the value of such friendships.TV shows like this tell us that our romantic relationships may not last，but we need to keep in touch with our close friends if we want to survive.
With Erika's family ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )200 miles away，it is Jane who keeps a spare set of keys to Erika's apartment and waters her plants whenever she is away.“Having Jane around gives me a certain amount of freedom.It is not the kind of thing that you could ask anyone to do，but she knows I would do the same for her.” Jane，who may move to a different city soon，is worried about leaving such a support system of friends.“My friends have more to do with my life than my parents and, therefore, I don't have to spend a lot of time explaining things to them.Friends are more up to date with what is happening.”
9．A late night phone call for most women is probably from ．
A．a relative B．a friend
C．a doctor D．a stranger
10．What does the underlined phrase “split up” in paragraph 1 mean
A．Shown up. B．Picked up.
C．Broken up. D．Taken up.
11．According to the passage，we can learn that Erika ．
A．is Jane's male friend
B．treasures Jane's friendship
C．has been married for 10 years
D．lives far away from Jane
12．Which of the following can be the best title for the text 21世纪教育网版权所有

B．Friendship Demands Freedom
C．Friendship Needs Understanding
D．Friendship Strengthens Romance

In today's soci ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ety，language plays a key role in defining gender (性别) by vocabulary，and also the non verbal (非语言的) vocabulary.Each one of these different types of ways of communicating is obviously different between men and women.
Many different studie ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )s show that men tend to talk much more than women.It has also been proven that women tend to speak faster than men；this is due to the fact that women tend to be interrupted more often than men are，and also have the ability to speak more clearly，precisely，and more quickly than men.In one study it was found that women spoke for an average of three minutes describing a painting，as opposed to the thirteen minute average it took men to describe it.
Men and women ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) also tend to have a very different non verbal way of communicating，which can also make it very hard for one another to understand what the opposite sex is trying to say. Men's body language is much more reserved when they are talking to women.Men tend not to make as much eye contact and they generally stay farther away from women when talking to them.Men avoid other people's body space while talking，and they also tend to sit back when talking.All of these have given off the impression of disinterest or boredom.Women are by far better listeners and much more enjoyable to talk with and they tend to raise more topics for conversation.
Women also make i ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )t clearer whether or not the conversation is going somewhere or just stuck in neutral.After learning about our styles of communicating with each other，I have decided that although men have not quite mastered communicating，what fun would it be if we all spoke the same “language”？ The little games men and women play with each other while conversing would be lost.The question everyone asks himself or herself after talking with someone of the opposite sex，“I wonder if there's something there？” would no longer exist.
13．What does the underlined word “this” in paragraph 2 refer to
A．The differences between men's and women's languages.
B．The different speed of men's and women's speech.
C．The ability of men's and women's spoken language.
D．The non verbal vocabulary of men and women.
14．In what way ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )do men and women differ according to the third paragraph
A．Speed of understanding.
B．Understanding of speech roles.
C．Politeness of communication.
D．Application of body language.
15．What is the au ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )thor's attitude to the differences between men's and women's communication
A．Cautious. B．Favourable.
C．Ambiguous. D．Skeptical.

Are you a shy person ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )Do you find shyness prevents you from thinking clearly and performing well in your work Overcoming shyness takes time and it is certainly worth taking some steps. The following are some good suggestions for you to fight against shyness.
Know you are in great company.
If you are sh ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )y, you are not alone. It is reported that 93 percent of people experience shyness in their lives. And of course there are some cool, nice, kind and generous people who are shy. Since there are so many people who experience the same feelings and thoughts as you do, there is no need to blame yourself for being shy. 21·世纪*教育网
Give yourself time and space.
Being shy is not ea ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )sy and sometimes it can be annoying. I have certainly felt this many times. I find the best thing is to give myself time and space. Many shy people say that they need to have some time alone each day. If you are shy, make sure you allow yourself time to gather your thoughts. Doing this means you have more energy to deal with others.
Realize you can overcome shyness.
Sometimes you ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) can get so baffled by being shy that it can be hard to see that this is something you can overcome. In fact, everyone can overcome shyness. Next time you meet strangers or have to speak before others, try to be brave. You can do it. What’s more, the older you are, the more experience you have. And this means there are situations where you feel comfortable and you are able to overcome your shyness little by little. Don’t just wait! Shyness won’t go away if you leave it as it is.
1.What’s the best title for the passage (no more than 6 words)
2.What’s the disadvantage of being shy (no more than 10 words)
3.Why is it unne ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )cessary to blame yourself for being shy (no more than 15 words)
4.Please explain ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )the underlined word “baffled” in English. (no more than 5 words)

第二部分：阅读理解（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A
Grandparents Answer a Call
As a third genera ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )tion native of Brownsville, Texas, Mildred Garza never planned to move away. Even when her daughter and son asked her to move to San Antonio to help with their children, she politely refused. Only after a year of friendly discussion did Ms Garza finally say yes. That was four years ago. Today all three generations regard the move as a success, giving them a closer relationship than they would have had in separate cities.
No statistics ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) show the number of grandparents like Garza who are moving closer to adult children and grandchildren. Yet there is evidence suggesting that the trend is growing. Even President Obama's mother in law, Marian Robinson, has agreed to leave Chicago and move into the White House to help care for her granddaughters. According to a study by , 83 percent of the people said Mrs Robinson's decision will influence grandparents in the American family. Two thirds believe more families will follow the example of Obama's family.
“In the 1960s ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )we were all a little wild and couldn't get away from home far enough for fast enough to prove we could do it on our own，”says Christine Crosby, publisher of Grand, a magazine for grandparents.“We now realize how important family is and how important it is “to be near them, especially when you're raising children.”2-1-c-n-j-y
Moving is not ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )for everyone. Almost every grandparent wants to be with his or her grandchildren and is willing to make sacrifices, but sometimes it is wiser to say no and visit frequently instead. Having your grandchildren far away is hard, especially knowing your adult child is struggling, but giving up the life you know may be harder.
1．Why was Garza's move a success
A．It strengthened her family ties.
B．It improved her living conditions.
C．It enabled her to make more friends.
D．It helped her know more new places.
2．What was the reaction of the public to Mrs Robinson's decision
A．17% expressed their support for it.
B．Few people responded sympathetically.
C．83% believed it had a bad influence.
D．The majority thought it was a trend.
3．What did Crosby say about people in the 1960s
A．They were unsure of themselves.
B．They were eager to raise more children.
C．They wanted to live away from their parents.
D．They had little respect for their grandparents.
4．What does the ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) author suggest the grandparents do in the last paragraph
A．Make decisions in the best interests of their own.
B．Ask their children to pay more visits to them.
C．Sacrifice for their struggling children.
D．Get to know themselves better.

B
In 1973, I was te ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )aching elementary school. Each day, 27 kids entered "The Thinking Laboratory." That was the name students voted for after deciding that "Room 104" was too dull.
Freddy w ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )as an average student, but not an average person. He had the rare balance of fun and compassion(同情). He would laugh the loudest over fun and be the saddest over anyone's misfortune.www-2-1-cnjy-com
Before ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )the school year ended, I gave the kids a special gift, T-shirts with the words "Verbs Are Your Friends" on them. I had advised the kids that while verbs(动词) may seem dull, most of the fun things they do throughout their lives will be verbs.
Through the years, ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) I'd run into former students who would provide updates on old classmates. I learned that Freddy did several jobs after his graduation from high school and remained the same caring person I met forty years before. Once, while working overnight at a store, he let a homeless man sleep in his truck. Another time, he lent a friend money to buy a house.
Just last ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) year, I was conducting a workshop when someone knocked at the classroom door. A woman excused the interruption and handed me an envelope. I stopped teaching and opened it up. Inside were the "Verbs" shirt and a note from Freddy's mother. "Freddy passed away on Thanksgiving. He wanted you to have this."
I told th ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e story to the class. As sad as it was, I couldn't help smiling. Although Freddy was taken from us, we all took something from Freddy.
5. What do t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )he underlined words "The Thinking Laboratory" in paragraph 1 refer to
A. The elementary school where the kids studied.
B. "Rooml04" in which the kids studied.
C. The workshop in which the kids carried out experiments.21·世纪*教育网
D. The high school which was fun as well as dull.
6. What can we learn about the author
A. She hardly kept in touch with her former students.21世纪教育网版权所有
B. She wrote the passage in 2013 or so.
C. She was very strict with her students.
D. She gave the kids special gifts after the school year.21·cn·jy·com
7. Which of the following words can best describe Freddy
A. Modest and daring. B. Outstanding and calm.
C. Generous and creative. D. Warm-hearted and caring.
8. What's the author's attitude towards Freddy
A. Cautious. B. Disapproving. C. Uninterested. D. Appreciative.
答案：5-8. BBDD
解析：
5.词义猜测题。根据第一 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )段第三句可知，这个教室原来叫“104室”，因为同学们认为这个名字很无聊，所以通过投票得出一个新的名字“思维实验室”，因此B项正确。
6.细节理解题。根据第四段第二句可知，作者了 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )解到 Freddy毕业后换了几个工作，但他是一个懂得关心别人的人，这跟作者四十年前见到他时的品行是一样的。根据作者当老师的时间1973年判断，作者写下这篇文章的时间大约是2013年，因此B项正确。
7.推理判断题。根据第四段中列举的两 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )个例子“...he let a homeless man sleep in his truck. Another time, he lent a friend money to buy a house.”可以判断，他是一个热心的人，一个关心别人的人，因此D项正确。【来源：21cnj*y.co*m】
8.态度判断题。根据最后一段末句we ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) all took something from Freddy可知，他们从Freddy身上学到了很多东西，由此判断，作者对于Freddy是赞赏的，由此可知D项正确。
C
When the tele ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )phone rings late at night，most women guess it must be one of only four or five people calling. A sister Maybe. An emergency Possibly. A mother Probably not at that time of night. Much more probably it is a close female friend calling to tell you that she is heartbroken because she has split up with her boyfriend again or perhaps simply that a good movie has just started on TV.
At a time whe ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )n families are spread far and wide and marriages often end in divorce，friendships are becoming more and more important.Erika，a 32 year old lawyer，is strengthened by her ten year friendship with her married friend Jane.“I was very sick one night，so I called Jane at about 3：00 am to talk about it，” she says.“She was very supportive and even came over to take me to the doctor's.”
As American TV ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )shows like Friends have become more popular, many of us are beginning to see the value of such friendships.TV shows like this tell us that our romantic relationships may not last，but we need to keep in touch with our close friends if we want to survive.
With Erika's family ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) 200 miles away，it is Jane who keeps a spare set of keys to Erika's apartment and waters her plants whenever she is away.“Having Jane around gives me a certain amount of freedom.It is not the kind of thing that you could ask anyone to do，but she knows I would do the same for her.” Jane，who may move to a different city soon，is worried about leaving such a support system of friends.“My friends have more to do with my life than my parents and, therefore, I don't have to spend a lot of time explaining things to them.Friends are more up to date with what is happening.”
9．A late night phone call for most women is probably from ．
A．a relative B．a friend
C．a doctor D．a stranger
10．What does the underlined phrase “split up” in paragraph 1 mean
A．Shown up. B．Picked up.
C．Broken up. D．Taken up.
11．According to the passage，we can learn that Erika ．
A．is Jane's male friend
B．treasures Jane's friendship
C．has been married for 10 years
D．lives far away from Jane
12．Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A．Friendship Counts
B．Friendship Demands Freedom
C．Friendship Needs Understanding
D．Friendship Strengthens Romance
【答案】：9-12. BCBA
【解题导语】 本文以埃丽卡与简的友谊和美剧《朋友们》为例，论述了友情十分重要。
9..B 解析：细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句可知，深夜给女性打电话的可能是一个朋友，故B项正确。
10.C 解析：词义猜测 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )题。根据第一段最后一句“Much more probably it is a close female friend calling to tell you that she is heartbroken because she has split up with her boyfriend again”可知，更有可能的是，一个亲密的女性朋友打电话告诉你，她很伤心，因为她又和男友分手了。split up与break up意思相近，意为 “分手”，故C项正确。21*cnjy*com
11.B 解析：推理判断题。根据最后一 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )段第五句“My friends have more to do with my life than my parents and, therefore, I don't have to spend a lot of time explaining things to them.”可知，埃丽卡认为，她的朋友比父母更多地参与到了她的生活，因此她不需要花很多时间来向她们解释事情。据此可以判断，埃丽卡很珍惜与简的友谊，故B项正确。
12.A 解析：标题归纳题。通读全文可知， ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )本文以埃丽卡与简的友谊和美剧《朋友们》为例，论述了友情十分重要。故A项最能体现主题，适合作为文章的标题。
D
In today's society，l ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )anguage plays a key role in defining gender (性别) by vocabulary，and also the non verbal (非语言的) vocabulary.Each one of these different types of ways of communicating is obviously different between men and women.
Many different studi ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )es show that men tend to talk much more than women.It has also been proven that women tend to speak faster than men；this is due to the fact that women tend to be interrupted more often than men are，and also have the ability to speak more clearly，precisely，and more quickly than men.In one study it was found that women spoke for an average of three minutes describing a painting，as opposed to the thirteen minute average it took men to describe it.
Men and women also t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )end to have a very different non verbal way of communicating，which can also make it very hard for one another to understand what the opposite sex is trying to say. Men's body language is much more reserved when they are talking to women.Men tend not to make as much eye contact and they generally stay farther away from women when talking to them.Men avoid other people's body space while talking，and they also tend to sit back when talking.All of these have given off the impression of disinterest or boredom.Women are by far better listeners and much more enjoyable to talk with and they tend to raise more topics for conversation.
Women also make ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )it clearer whether or not the conversation is going somewhere or just stuck in neutral.After learning about our styles of communicating with each other，I have decided that although men have not quite mastered communicating，what fun would it be if we all spoke the same “language”？ The little games men and women play with each other while conversing would be lost.The question everyone asks himself or herself after talking with someone of the opposite sex，“I wonder if there's something there？” would no longer exist.
13．What does the underlined word “this” in paragraph 2 refer to
A．The differences between men's and women's languages.
B．The different speed of men's and women's speech.
C．The ability of men's and women's spoken language.2·1·c·n·j·y
D．The non verbal vocabulary of men and women.
14．In what wa ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )y do men and women differ according to the third paragraph
A．Speed of understanding.
B．Understanding of speech roles.
C．Politeness of communication.
D．Application of body language.
15．What is the au ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )thor's attitude to the differences between men's and women's communication
A．Cautious. B．Favourable.
C．Ambiguous. D．Skeptical.
【答案】：13~15.BDB
【解题导语】 本文介绍了男性和女性因性别差异在沟通方式上有所不同的现象。
13.B 解析：代词指代题。 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )根据this承接第二段中的“It has also been proven that women tend to speak faster than men”可知，此处的this指代女性比男性说话快。故选B。
14.D 解析：推理判断题 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )。根据第三段，尤其是第二句“Men's body language is much more reserved when they are talking to women.”可知，本段介绍男性和女性在非语言表达方式上的不同，即肢体语言使用上的差异。故选D。
15. B 解析：观点态度题。根据最后一 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )段第二句和第三句“After learning about our styles of communicating with each other，I have decided that although men have not quite mastered communicating，what fun would it be if we all spoke the same ‘language’？The little games men and women play with each other while conversing would be lost.”可知，作者对男性和女性在沟通上的差异持赞成态度。故选B。cautious “谨慎的”；favourable“赞成的”；ambiguous “模棱两可的”；skeptical “怀疑的”。

And this means there are situations where you feel comfortable and you are able to overcome your shyness little by little. Don’t just wait! Shyness won’t go away if you leave it as it is.

Dear Tom,
I'm writing to t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ell you something about my new school life. At first, I find it a little difficult to get used to the senior school life. The subjects we are learning are obviously more difficult. Besides, with endless homework to do, we almost have no time for exercise and other activities. I feel greatly stressed but I'm determined to go through all the difficulties and learn every subject well. 【来源：21·世纪·教育·网】
Fortunately, the teach ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ers and classmates are all helpful and kind. And I'm glad to make a new friend—Wang Lin, who is very outgoing and always ready to help others. It was with his help that I overcame my fear for maths and made great progress. I think friends should always help and encourage each other.
How about your school life I'm looking forward to your reply.
Yours,
Li Hua
