When people find themselves in difficult conflicts, they often turn to mediation(调解). Mediators are advised to listen attentively, avoid favoring the ideas of one party, and make both sides feel at ease. Surprisingly, new research that my colleagues and I conducted shows that, to effectively help people settle their conflicts,mediators should adopt a hostile(敌意的) attitude rather than a calming one. A hostile mediator, we find , brings better results than a nice one.
Why would adding more negativity(消极性) to an already hostile situation prove beneficial Consider how parents typically react when they can’t get their children to stop quarreling: “I don’t care who started it. Both of you go to your rooms!” At first sight, a calm mediator seems likely to be more effective. But as anyone with brothers or sisters knows,parents’ seemingly(看上去) unsympathetic treatment of the situation can have an unusual effect.
In our research,we created situations in which pairs of negotiators were part of a heated conflict. In some cases,the mediator had a “nice” approach-calm and polite. In others, he was hostile—aggressive and somewhat rude. Across different types of conflicts, we found that negotiators were more willing and able to reach an agreement in the presence(在场)of a hostile mediator than in the presence of a nice one.
The main result of the test is not that hostility pays off. In fact,recent research has documented the social costs of negative behavior. For example, being the target of rude behavior reduces people’s performance on a variety of tasks. Other research shows the social benefits of positive behavior. People are more likely to close deals and become future business partners.
Even with the widespread social benefits of positive behavior and costs of negative behavior, hostility can pay off in certain situations.
4. What is the parents’ settlement of conflicts in paragraph 2
A. It’s calming and wise.
B. It’s arbitrary but effective.
C. It’s commonly adopted.
D. It harms family relationship.

B. Doubtful.
C. Objective

7. What could be the best title of the text

B. The Costs of Negative Behavior
C. The Benefits of Positive Behavior
D. The Surprising Power of Hostility

For centuries, mankind and dogs have suffered from a communication failure. We can tell dogs what we want them to do and sometimes they comply(服从), but we’ve always struggled when it comes to understanding the true meaning of their barks and whimpers. There is exciting news now--a dog translator has been invented to help you communicate with your furry friend.
Researchers at North Carolina State University have fashioned some kind of miracle dog translator body harness(束腰带). What’s special about it is that it doesn’t just rely on the dog’s vocalizations to interpret what they are banging on about.
Oh no--this miracle harness reads and interprets the ordinary dogs’ body language as well, giving us a full two-way dog communication experience.
Researcher David Roberts says: “Dogs communicate primarily through body language, and one of our challenges is to develop sensors that tell us about their behavior by observing their posture remotely. ”
Sensors on the harness monitor the dog’s heart rate and body temperature and software builds up a vocabulary, letting the human know what the dog is feeling.
What would dogs say if they could talk to us The human can even communicate back through the harness thanks to vibration motors, supposedly by tapping into the dog’s senses so that it can understand what you’re trying to say to it.
The dog harness is designed for dogs involved in search and rescue and other front-line work, but it’s got us dreaming of a beautiful future, one where humans and dogs can coexist as equals, with the dog able to fully express itself at all times.
8. Why can’t people communicate with dogs
A. They have difficulty understanding dogs’ barks and whimpers.
B. They have no idea about dogs’ behavior in relation to their posture.
C. They don’t know how to tell dogs what they want them to do.
D. They don’t have a machine to translate the dogs’ language.
9. What does the underlined word most probably mean in paragraph two
A. Bought.
B. Researched.
C. Influenced.
D. Made.
10. For what purpose is the dog harness designed
A. It is designed for dogs to understand what people are trying to say to them.
B. It is designed for dogs to communicate with people through body language.
C. It is designed to monitor the dog’s heart rate and body temperature.
D. It is designed for dogs doing search and rescue and other front-line work.
11. What is the author, s attitude towards the possible human-dog communication
A. Shocked.
B. Excited.
C. Embarrassed.
D. Annoyed.
D
Cats communicate a variety of messages using cats’ body language. Examples include arching (弓起) their backs as a signal of fear or attack, and slowly blinking (眨) their eyes to signal relaxation. Mouth open and no teeth showed suggests a feeling of playfulness. A cat which chooses to lie on its back shows happiness, trust and comfort. Cats show dissatisfaction by moving their ears back, equal to a human frown.
As is the case with dogs, a twitching(抽动) tail can mean a little anger while a tail held high suggests confidence. Cats will twitch their tails when hunting or angry, while larger twitching suggests displeasure. They may also twitch their tails when playing. A tail held high is a sign of happiness, or can be used as a greeting towards humans or other cats (usually close relatives) while half-raised shows less pleasure, and unhappiness is expressed with a tail held low.
Some characteristic signals, however, are often misunderstood. It is important to keep in mind that each cat may show its feelings with different body language. For instance, a cat rubbing its body along an arm or a leg of its owner is not only a way in which to attract attention and, perhaps, a way to ask for food; it is also a way of “marking” its owner as its own. Usually a cat with its tail held high and twitching shows excitement, but this is often mistaken for anger.
Many people fail or are too slow to understand the silent body language of cats. And they may have the false impression that cats are cold-hearted, unfaithful or not clever. To understand cats, people must observe a cat closely and learn what its body signals tell them.
12. Which cats’ body language shows that a cat is relaxed
A. Lying on its stomach.
B. Blinking its eyes slowly.
C. Holding its tail high.
D. Moving its ears back.
13. According to the passage , a cat will twitch its tail EXCEPT .
A. when it feels sleepy
B. when it is hunting
C. when it feels angry
D. when it is playing
14. How many meanings does a cat’s rubbing its body along its owner have
A. 2. B. 3. C. 4. D. 5.
15. The last paragraph intends to tell us
A. many people often have wrong opinions on cats
B. it is not easy to understand cats’ body language
C. every cat has its own special body language
D. we should learn more about cats’ body language

A Housewarming Party
A housewarming party is a special party to beheld when someone buys or moves into a new apartment or house. The person or people who bought the apartment or house or moved are the ones who throw the party. 16 It also gives people a chance to see what the new home looks like. It is an opportunity to fill the new space with love and hopeful presents.
It is traditional to bring a gift to a housewarming party. 17 Some common items(物品)people will put on a gift registry include kitchen tools like knives and items like curtains. Even if there isn’t a registry, a good housewarming gift is something to decorate the new house with, like, a piece of art or a plant. 18 It is often appreciated since at a housewarming party there isn’t a lot of food served, usually just appetizers or sandwiches.
19 The host or hostess of the party will, however, probably give all the guests a tour of their new home. Sometimes, because a housewarming party happens shortly after a person moves into a new home, people may be asked to help unpack boxes. This isn’t usual though.
Housewarming parties get their name from the fact that a long time ago people would actually bring firewood to a new home as a gift so that the person could keep the home warm for the winter. 20

With time going by, Mother’s Day was around the corner. Maybe it is the happiest day for every mother. Bruce, a boy of nine years old, with his little sister Alina, six years old. wanted to buy their mother carnations(康乃馨). But they were too young to get a job, even if a part-time one. What could they do There was only one week left. They felt sad whenever they thought their mother would spend her Mother’s Day without carnations.
Money is hard to make. Buying a bunch of carnations would cost a large sum of money for them. One day when they were wandering at the street, they heard Mr. Green was complaining that he had no time to wash those soda pop bottles. It is a kind of soda pop sold in bottles and the bottles can be washed and filled again. Mr. Green ran that grocery shop by himself, so he had no time to wash them. “Would you like to try, Alina ” Bruce asked her sister suddenly. Alina nodded her head without hesitation. After all,both of them knew that maybe it was an opportunity for them to make money for the flowers.
They walked a few steps and came near Mr. Green. They looked up at Mr. Green and asked whether they could help him to wash those bottles. Mr. Green looked at them curiously until he was told the reason. He agreed and promised that he would pay 0.1 dollar for every bottle. Bruce and Alina were very happy even though they knew they would have a busy week.
They came to Mr. Green’s shop in the next seven days when they came back from school. On the morning of Mother’s Day, they got the pay-6.1dollars. The boy also had 0.3 dollar saved.
So with a total of 6.4 dollars they walked about a mile to where a flower shop was located. When they came inside, someone asked what they wanted. They told him they wanted to buy some carnations for their mother. The boy reached into his pocket and pulled out their cash , asking if that would be enough.

第二节
◎语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文, 介绍“乔迁派对”的概念及意义以及参加时礼物的选择及安排。
16. G文章第一段介绍了“乔迁派对”的概念及意义, 空后的“It also gives people a chance to see. . . like”说明这种风俗习惯的意义, 其中的“also”表明设空处也是说明其意义的。故G项(这个聚会让朋友和家人有机会祝贺新房子中的这个人或这些人。)符合语境, 故选G。
17. F 该段的第一句引出该段主题, 即参加这种派对是要带礼
物的, 所以接下来就应该说明如何选礼物。空后一句中的items和 put on a gift registry 与F选项中的“register ”“a list of things”呼应,故选F。
18. A 根据第17题的解释, 这一段是介绍礼物的选择的。礼
物的选择有两种方式, 一是主人列出的, 二是客人自己选择的。空处前一句介绍的是客人可以自行选择的礼物, A项中的also表明客人也可以选择其他的礼物, 符合上下文的逻辑。同时, 下文中的“there isn't a lot of food served”说明可以带食物作为礼物的原因。故A项符合语境。
19. C 根据空后内容可知, 本段介绍了这种聚会的活动安排,空后一句中的however说明此处存在转折关系, 故C项(乔迁派对通常没有安排好的活动)符合语境。

【高频词汇】
1. a housewarming party乔迁派对2. appetizer n. 开胃物, 开胃食品
长难句分析
原句 Housewarming parties get their name from the fact that a long time ago people would actually bring firewood to a new home as a gift so that the person could keep the home warm for the winter.

分析 本句是一个主从复合句。When引导时间状语从句。后面的现在分词短语“warning them of the dangers of their careless behavior”为伴随状语。

◎语篇解读 本文是一篇记叙文, 记叙了一名重病患者采用“微笑疗法”唤醒积极情绪, 最后恢复健康的故事。
ability考查名词。此处指医生告诉他, 他会失去行动的能力。定冠词后用名词, 这里需要用able 的名词形式, 故填ability 。
37. was told考查时态和语态。句意:他被告知他只有五百分之一的存活率。根据上下文可知时态为一般过去时, 此处主语He和 tell 之间是被动关系, 故填 was told。
38. the考查冠词。此处指Tom决心要战胜这种疾病。设空处特指Tom所患的疾病, 故填定冠词the。
39. who考查定语从句。设空处引导定语从句修饰先行词some doctors, 且关系词在定语从句中作主语, 故填who。
40. think考查固定搭配。make sb. do sth. 使/让/叫某人做某事, 为固定搭配, 故填think。
41. emotions 考查名词复数。emotion为可数名词, 这里被several 修饰, 应用复数形式, 故填emotions。
42. to concentrate考查非谓语动词。decide to do sth. 决定做某事, 为固定搭配, 故填to concentrate。
43. for考查介词。固定搭配arrange. . . for. . . 为……而安排. . . …, 故填for 。

长难句分析
原句 He arranged time each day for watching comedy films, reading humorous books, and doing other activities that would draw out positive emotions.
句意 他每天安排时间看喜剧电影, 读幽默书籍, 以及做其他能激发积极情绪的活动。
分析 本句话的主干是 He arranged time, each day为时间状语,“for watching…”为介词短语作目的状语, 其中“ watching. . ., reading. . ., doing. . . ”为并列的动名词短语, 作介词for的宾语。最后的“ that would draw out positive emotions”为 that引导的定语从句,修饰先行词 other activities。

第一节
One possible version:
Dear Andrew,
I am indeed very sorry that I can’t go to Chengdu with you next weekend as I have promised. I feel sorry for it and want you to know what happened.
Just now, my cousin,Li Qing, who left home to Australia for his further study last year, informed me that he would return this Saturday morning and asked me to pick him up at the airport with his family. You know, we haven't seen each other for nearly a year.
I sincerely hope you can accept my apology and appreciate your allowing me to make another date to show you around Chengdu. Once again, I'm sorry for any inconvenience caused.
All the best.
Yours,
Li Hua

Paragraph 1:
“But your money is not enough!” said the shop assistant. “Even for the smallest bunch ” Bruce asked quickly and eagerly, not believing his cars. “Not enough !” the shop assistant answered clearly, with the explanation that carnations were the most expensive flowers these days because of Mother’s Day. They were too disappointed to hear that! Bruce hopelessly put the money back into his pocket.
Paragraph 2 :
“Wait a moment, please !” another gentleman waved to them. “I just have some carnations on sale which are a little small but pretty. Would you like to have a look Only 2 dollars!” Bruce nodded at once. “Just a minute!” He went to the back and came out with a bunch of carnations. He took only 2 dollars, and also gave a Mother’s Day card as a gift. “Thank you very much, ” Bruce bowed to the gentleman and they walked home proudly carrying the flowers for Mom. They couldn’t wait to see her smiling face.
