Research has found that adults today have fewer friends than they did in the 1980s, and that more people say they have no one to discuss important stuff with.
A new study suggests that singing is an effective way to make new friends because it helps us bond(联系) quickly with others.
For the study, led by Eiluned Pearce, Ph.D. at Oxford University, researchers looked at participants(参加者) aged 18 to 83 in adult education classes organized by the Workers' Education Association in the UK. Eighty four participants were enrolled(登记) in one of four singing classes; 51 participants were enrolled in one of two creative crafts classes or a creative writing class.
Over a period of seven months, the classes went weekly. During the first, third, and final months, researchers asked participants to tell how close they felt to their classmates. Results showed something surprising. Although participants in all the classes felt closer to their classmates by the study's end, participants in the singing classes developed that closeness much more quickly.
As for why exactly singing leads to fast group bonding, the researchers say one possible reason is that everyone does it at the same pare that with creative writing or crafting, where everyone is working on an individual project. Another possible cause, according to the researchers, is that singing involves muscular effort, which causes the release of certain molecules(分子) that can make us happier and more willing to cooperate.
The point here is that singing can be a great icebreaker among large groups of strangers, which can lead to individual friendships down the line. “Really close relationships still depend on communication between individuals or much smaller groups，” Pearce said in a release, “but this study shows singing can start the bonding process.”
1. What has research found about today's adults
A. They don't really want friends.
B. They are looking for new friends.
C. They have fewer friends than before.
D. They like discussing important things with friends.
2. The researchers didn't expect that ________．
A. the creative writing class helps people bond
B. the participants would become closer to others
C. so many participants would take singing classes
D. participants in the singing classes would bond so quickly
3. Paragraph 5 shows that reasons for the results of the research are ________．
A. very cheering
B. very interesting
C. a bit confusing
D. not completely possible
4. According to Eiluned Pearce, really close relationships ________．
A. rely on individual communication
B. depend on one's attitude
C. often occur in large groups
D. are easy to develop
B
Who is a genius(天才) This question has greatly interested humankind for centuries.
Let's state clearly: Einstein was a genius. His face is almost the international symbol for genius. But we want to go beyond one man and explore the nature of genius itself. Why is it that some people are so much more intelligent or creative than the rest of us And who are they
In the sciences and arts, those praised as geniuses were most often white men, of European origin. Perhaps this is not a surprise. It's said that history is written by the victors, and those victors set the standards for admission to the genius club. When contributions were made by geniuses outside the club—women, or people of a different color or belief—they were unacknowledged and rejected by others.
A study recently published by Science found that as young as age six, girls are less likely than boys to say that members of their gender(性别) are “really, really smart”. Even worse, the study found that girls act on that belief: Around age six they start to avoid activities said to be for children who are “really, really smart”. Can our planet afford to have any great thinkers become discouraged and give up It doesn't take a genius to know the answer: absolutely not.
Here's the good news. In a wired world with constant global communication, we're all positioned to see flashes of genius wherever they appear. And the more we look, the more we will see that social factors(因素) like gender, race, and class do not determine the appearance of genius. As a writer says, future geniuses come from those with “intelligence, creativity, perseverance(毅力), and simple good geniuses, who are able to change the world”．
5. What does the author think of victors' standards for joining the genius club
A. They're unfair.
B. They're conservative.
C. They're objective.
D. They're strict.
6. What can we infer about girls from the study in Science
A. They think themselves smart.
B. They look up to great thinkers.
C. They see gender differences earlier than boys.
D. They are likely to be influenced by social beliefs.
7. Why are more geniuses known to the public
A. Improved global communication.
B. Less discrimination against women.
C. Acceptance of victors' concepts.
D. Changes in people's social positions.
8. What is the best title for the text
A. Geniuses Think Alike
B. Genius Takes Many Forms
C. Genius and Intelligence
D. Genius and Luck

Turning acquaintances(熟人) into friends
We all have acquaintances in our life—people we exchange small talk with or trade jokes with online. While these relationships can delight you in their own right, you can turn an acquaintance into a true friend. __1__
Open up a little about yourself. Friendships are characterized by closeness. True friends know about each other's values, struggles, goals, and interests. __2__ You don't have to give away your most closely held secret, just a little more than talking about the weather or something you watched on TV and see how other people reply. Do they seem interested？Do they share something about themselves
Invite an acquaintance out for a drink or to a movie. Lots of other people feel just as uncomfortable about reaching out and making new friends as you do. __3__ Take the first step and reach out to a neighbor or workmate, for example—they will thank you later.
Carpool to work. __4__ If your employer doesn't, simply ask a workmate if they'd like to share rides. Spending regular time together is a great way to get to know others better and offers the opportunity for uninterrupted and deeper conversation.

【文章大意】　这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了研究发现很多人一起唱歌时能够很容易建立友谊关系。
1. C　细节理解题。根据第一段“Research has found that adults today have fewer friends than they did in the 1980s(研究发现，如今成年人的朋友比二十世纪八十年代少)”可知，跟从前相比，现在成年人的朋友少。故选C。
2. D　细节理解题。根据第二段“A new study suggests that singing is an effective way to make new friends because it helps us bond quickly with others.(一项新的研究表明，唱歌是结交新朋友的一种有效方式，因为它能帮助我们迅速与他人建立联系。)”可知，研究人员没有想到的是，唱歌能帮助人们迅速和其他人建立联系，参加歌唱课的人会很快结合在一起。故选D。
3. D　推理判断题。根据第五段“one possible reason is that everyone does it at the same time(一个可能的原因是每个人都在同一时间唱歌)”以及“Another possible cause, according to the researchers, is that singing involves muscular effort(根据研究人员，另一个可能的原因是唱歌涉及肌肉力量)”，可知，对于研究结果的原因只是猜测，不能完全肯定。故选D。
4. A　细节理解题。根据最后一段“Really close relationships still depend on communication between individuals or much smaller groups(真正亲密的关系仍然取决于个人或小得多的群体之间的沟通)”可知，真正亲密的关系取决于个人之间的交流。故选A。

【文章大意】　这是一篇议论文。文章由问题“谁是天才？”引入，论述了世人对天才的狭隘定义，提出事实上“天才”有很多种形式，不要让思维限制了我们的“天才”能力。
5. A　推理判断题。根据第三段的“It's said that history is written by victors, and those victors set the standards for admission to the genius club. When contributions were made by geniuses outside the club—women, or people of a different color or belief—they were unacknowledged and rejected by others.(据说历史是由胜利者书写的，而那些胜利者为进入天才俱乐部设定了标准。当俱乐部以外的天才——女性或不同肤色或信仰的人——做出贡献时，他们不会被承认并且被其他人拒绝。)”可推知，作者认为那些“胜利者”对进入“天才俱乐部”设置的标准是不公平的，因为女性或者不同肤色或信仰的人做出的成就是得不到承认的。故选A。
6. D　推理判断题。根据第四段的“Even worse, the study found that girls act on that belief: Around age six they start to avoid activities said to be for children who are ‘really, really smart’．(更糟糕的是，研究发现女孩们是按照这个信念行事的：六岁左右，她们开始避免那些据说是‘非常非常聪明’的孩子参加的活动。)”可推知，女孩容易受到社会信仰的影响，认为自己在六岁左右就不适合做“聪明孩子”做的事情。故选D。

8. B　主旨大意题。根据文章的主要内容，结合文章第一段提出问题“Who is a genius？(谁是天才？)”和最后一段的“As a writer says, future geniuses come from those with ‘intelligence, creativity, perseverance(毅力), and simple geniuses, who are able to change the world’．(正如一位作家所说，未来的天才来自那些具有‘智慧、创造力、毅力和那些能够改变世界的简单天才’。)”可知，天才不一定是那些有巨大贡献的人，他们也可以是某一方面比较突出的普通人。由此可知B项“天才有多种形式”可以作为本文最佳标题。故选B。
Ⅱ. 七选五

2. G　根据上文“Open up a little about yourself. Friendships are characterized by closeness.
