三、阅读理解
"Regrets, I've had a few. But then again, too few to mention," Frank Sinatra chanted in his 1969 hit "My Way". The song's idea is attractive: that anyone can just declare what's done is done and move on. Some take the declaration a step further and claim they have no regrets at all. Whether a boast or an actual attitude, "no regrets" suggests that life can and should be lived without looking through the rear-view mirror.
Easier said than done, though. In 2020, author Daniel H. Pink launched the World Regret Survey, the largest ever survey on the topic. With his research team, Pink asked more than 15,000 people in 105 countries, "How often do you look back on your life and wish you had done things differently " 82% said regret is at least an occasional part of their life; roughly 21% said they feel regret "al1 the time." Only 1% said they never feel regret.
If you are of the "no regrets" type, you might think that all this regret is a recipe for unhappiness. But that isn't the case. True, being overwhelmed by regret is indeed bad for you. But going to the other extreme may be even worse. To rid yourself of regrets doesn't free you from shame or sorrow; it leads you to make the same mistakes again and again. To truly get over our guilt requires that we put regret in its proper place.
As uncomfortable as it is, regret is an amazing cognitive(认知) achievement. If today your relationship with your partner has soured, your regret might mentally take you back to last year. You would remember your being mean and sensitive, and then imagine yourself showing more patience, being kind instead of hurtful at key moments. Then you would fast-forward to today and see how your relationship could be progressing instead of languishing.
But regret doesn't have to be left unmanaged. The trick is to acknowledge it and use it for learning and improvement. You can be honest with yourself about what went wrong and use that knowledge to enjoy better relationships in the future.
1.What should we do if we have had a bitter quarrel with a close friend according to Frank Sinatra
A. Attract more people to your argument.
B. Send him/her a letter of apology.
C. Boast about being more reasonable.
D. Forget about it and just let it go.
2.Which of the following statements about regret may the writer agree with
A. We can do nothing about regret.
B. Unhappiness results from regret.
C. Ignoring regrets is missing the opportunity to improve.
D. Ridding yourself of regrets helps free you from sorrow.
3.What does the underlined word "languishing" in paragraph 4 most probably mean
A. Improving. B. Healing. C. Showing up. D. Breaking up.
4.What might be a suitable title for the text
A. Regret to become smarter-if you let it.
B. Long for a different past Regret it!
C. Regret Not my way!
D. Stay away! Regret will heal itself.

二、七选五
答案:①-⑤ GDEBC
解析:本文是一篇说明文。文章阐述了在生活中,真正的友谊不会拘泥于各种礼仪。朋友彼此间都会真诚相待,会毫不犹豫的帮助对方。
①根据空前的"Have you ever wondered what the real meaning of the saying "A Friend in Need is a Friend Indeed" is (你有没有想过"患难见真情"这句话的真正含义是什么?)"以及空后"True friendship is the one, in which the individuals do not have to maintain good manners with each other. (真正的友谊是人与人之间不必互相保持礼貌。)"可知,设空处应该说明很多人不了解什么是真正的友谊。G选项"People talk about the true value of friendship actually without knowing what it stands for.(人们谈论友谊的真正价值,其实并不知道它代表什么。)"承接前文,保持探讨的话题"真正的友谊",同时引起下文即下文回答了什么是真正的友谊。符合语境。故选G。
②根据前文" If the bond between two friends is strong, true friends can tolerate even long distance. (如果两个朋友之间的联系很紧密,那么真正的朋友即使相隔很远也能忍受。)"可知,真正的友谊不会受到长远距离的影响。D选项"For them, geographical separation is just a part of life.(对他们来说,地理上的分离只是生活的一部分。)"中的geographical separation与前文呼应,指出地里分离只是生活中的一部分,不会影响到真正的友谊,符合语境。故选D。
③根据后文"They would face it together and support each other, even if it is against the interests of the other person. (他们会一起面对,互相支持,即使这违背了对方的利益。)"可知,此处强调的是真正的朋友会共同面对困难并相互支持。这与E选项"True friends don't desert each other when one is facing trouble.(真正的朋友不会在遇到困难时抛弃对方。)"相呼应。故选E。
④根据后文的"They know each other's strengths as well as weaknesses. (他们知道彼此的优点和缺点。)"可知,真正的朋友是知道彼此的优点和缺点,彼此之间坦诚相待。B选项"Nothing is hidden between true friends.(真正的朋友之间无所隐瞒。)"与后文呼应。故选B。
⑤根据后文的"If you have even one true friend, consider yourself blessed.(如果你有一个真正的朋友,你就觉得自己有福了。)"可知,即使你只有一位真正的朋友,那也应该要感觉到自己是幸运的。C选项"It is not easy getting true friends for the lifetime.(得到真正的朋友是不容易的。)"引起下文,与下文"拥有真正的朋友则自己是幸运的"相呼应。故选C。
三、阅读理解
1.答案:D
解析:推理判断题。根据第一段二三句"The song's idea is attractive: that anyone can just declare what's done is done and move on. Some take the declaration a step further and claim they have no regrets at all.(这首歌的想法很吸引人:任何人都可以宣布所做的事情已经完成,然后继续前进。有些人更进一步,声称自己完全不后悔。)"可知,如果我们采纳Frank Sinatra的观点,在与朋友争吵后,我们不会道歉,我们只会任凭争吵已发生,然后朝前看。故选D。
2.答案:C
解析:推理判断题。根据第三段后两句"To rid yourself of regrets doesn't free you from shame or sorrow; it leads you to make the same mistakes again and again. To truly get over our guilt requires that we put regret in its proper place.(摆脱后悔并不能让你摆脱羞耻或悲伤;它会让你一次又一次犯同样的错误。要真正摆脱内疚,我们必须把后悔放在适当的位置。)"可知,作者并不赞同一个人永远都不后悔这一观点,相反他觉得,如果人永远都不后悔,它就会以此犯同样的错误,得不到任何提升和进步。故选C。
3.答案:D
解析:词句猜测题。根据第四段最后一句"Then you would fast-forward to today and see how your relationship could be progressing instead of(然后你会快进到今天,看看你们的关系会如何进展而不是)"可知,instead of前后为转折关系,前文说关系需要有进展,而有进展的反面则是结束关系,或者关系破裂,故推测languishing 意为"关系结束"。故选D。
4.答案:A
解析:主旨大意题。根据最后一段一二句"But regret doesn't have to be left unmanaged. The trick is to acknowledge it and use it for learning and improvement.(但后悔不必被忽视。诀窍是承认它,然后将其用于学习和改进中。)"可知,作者建议读者利用好"后悔"这一举动来促进自我的进步。故选项A"Regret to become smarter-if you let it.(如果你愿意-后悔能让你变得更聪明)"符合文章主旨大意。故选A。
