When I recall my e ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )xperiences of feeling hard and deeply understood by someone, I know how much the experience helped me to cope with whatever I was dealing with at the time. Caring people who I have turned to in difficult times helped me the most by listening and asking about my feelings.
During one of my vo ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )lunteer jobs at a local HIV and Cancer clinic，I found the helpfulness of empathic listening.As a volunteer I was providing emotional support to people with health related problems.Empathic listening really made a difference on how patients felt about their health problems.By sharing about their pain and suffering and my willingness to listen they felt less alone.
We can make li ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )fe easier for each other by becoming a better listener and encourage each other to share about our feelings. We can become a better listener by avoid giving advice and trying to solve problems unless we are asked to do so.Pressuring others to solve their life problems “our ways” is not helpful.Most people intuitively know how to solve their own problems.As a listener it's important to be patient and not interrupt the speaker. Let them know it's OK to talk about their feelings and support them in feeling their feelings.
When one does ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) not share nor reach out for support, he or she can remain a lonely mystery. Life can feel lonely when one keeps everything inside. Feeling alone with life problems can feel worse than the problem itself. When we let a caring person listen to our life struggle, we no longer feel alone with our struggle. Don't be afraid asking your loved ones to take time and hear you out. Sometimes you have to ask for it. People can not read your mind. Confiding in others can have a positive effect on our mood.
40．What made the author comfortable in difficult times
A．Persuading. B．Sharing.
C．Apologizing. D．Complaining.
41．According to the second paragraph, we can know that________．
A．the patients enjoyed listening to the author
B．the author was really very kind and honest
C．the patients got on well with the author
D．the author did a good job at a Cancer clinic

A．wait for someone to help you
B．ask someone to listen to you
C．keep everything secret
D．deal with your problem on your own
43．What's the main idea of this passage
A．Listening and sharing can make you happier.
B．The author would like to listen to others.
C．It is wrong to give advice to solve problems.
D．You should be confident in front of other people.【来源：21cnj*y.co*m】

Long ago，poems were r ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ecited out loud instead of being written down.When the Greeks first started the Olympics，they held poetry contests as well as athletic competitions.
Now，poetry competition ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )s have been revived(恢复)．This year 120，000 high school students competed in the first Poetry Out Loud National Recitation Contest，performing poems from memory for $100，000 in prizes.
The first competitions ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) were held in classrooms.The winners went on to school－wide contests，and then they competed in city and state competitions.Finally，the 50 state champions，along with the District of Columbia champion came to Washington，D.C.for the last showdown.After the 51 champions competed against one another，12 went on to the finals.Then the field was narrowed to five.The final five had one last chance to“perform”a poem.The overall champ，Jackson Hille，a high school senior from Ohio，won a $20，000 scholarship.21cnjy.com
The National E ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ndowment for the Arts and the Poetry Foundation started Poetry Out Loud because they realized that hearing a poem performed is a different experience from reading it on a page.
It's not just a ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )matter of saying the words in the right order.It's the tone of voice，the pauses，the gestures，and the attitude of the person performing that bring the words to life.“Each time we hear somebody recite a poem，we find something fresh and interesting about it，”says National Public Radio Broadcaster Scott Simon，master of ceremonies for the finals.Hearing it in a new voice offers something new to the listener.
Not only do the peopl ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e hearing poems have a new experience，memorizing and presenting poems helps the participants(选手)understand those poems in a new way.Another benefit of a competition such as Poetry Out Loud is that the participants learn public－speaking skills that can help them for life.
44．From the first paragraph，we can know ________．
A．the Greeks were the first to write poems
B．the Olympics used to start with poem reciting
C．poems were spread orally in the past
D．athletes were asked to recite poems before competing
45．How many rounds ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )of competitions did the champions take before they went to Washington，D.C.
A．Three. B．Four.
C．Five. D．Six.
46．One benefit th ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e participants get from poem recitation competitions is that they can ________．
A．become skilled in speaking in public
B．write good poems themselves
C．change their attitudes towards life
D．make friends with many great poets
47．What's the main idea of the passage
A．Reciting poems improves your memory.
B．Remembering a lot of poems is fun.
C．Poets have a great time.
D．Poetry competitions freshen us up.

Rome wasn't buil ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )t in a day, and the Internet didn't come out of a golden egg.Many of today's creations were born of people who had creative ideas, but who did not stop at simply having an idea.They took one brick of capital (资本), another brick of knowledge, perhaps a brick or two of family and friends, and built their empires brick by brick.【版权所有：21教育】

Remember, having a ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )n online empire does not mean that you have to do it alone.You can take your_friends along with you.Having a friend advertise your services online is a good way to attract more visitors to your empire.
Building an online ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )empire, you will have to be prepared to not only come up with creative ideas, but to carry your ideas through.Talk to people who have already succeeded in building their own empires.Talk to people who are struggling.Join a mailing list that will help you get through your struggle to achieve your goal.
As you move ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )forward, you will find that you can help other people, and you will have a good many stories to tell—not to mention a lot of money in the bank.
If you learn the ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )real secrets of creating a long?term stable online business then you will have enough money to retire on.

Afraid that her s ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )on would be too tired, Ms. Wendy would sometimes tell the boy to skip school, but each time, Fabian would insist on going to school.
“I don't like it ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) because when I return to school, I don't know what's going on，” the 12－year－old boy explained. He suffers for SMA—a neuromuscular(神经肌肉的) disease that leads to weakness in muscles—and gets around in a wheelchair.
Fabian's determin ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ation to excel in his studies was evident when he was disappointed that he got a total score of 236 yesterday in his Primary School Leaving Examination. He was hoping for a score of at least 240, but his mother was full of pride. “I am happy with his results. He's very motivated，” said Ms. Wendy.
When Fabian w ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )as two months old, he was diagnosed with SMA.Ms. Wendy, who used to go to other homes to teach piano lessons, started teaching lessons at home so she could take care of her son. Fabian proved to be a fighter. Ms. Wendy said, “He would study every day on his own even though he was weak and his spine(脊柱) was already starting to curve quite badly.”
Fabian is also ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )active in the Singapore Disability Sports Council，where he plays boccia(滚球)，a ball sport for those who require a wheelchair due to physical disability.
At just 133cm tall and ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) weighing 14kg, he knows that he will have to rely on others all his life. “I'm afraid that when my parents grow older, they will not be able to carry me and that there will be nobody to carry me，” said Fabian. “But for now, I feel lucky that I get to go out and do a lot of things that I thought I couldn't.”
His dreams aren't ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )lofty either—all he want to be able to do is work and provide for his parents. “I just want to study hard so that I can be a businessman, like my dad.” He is planning to apply to study at Victoria School.
52．The under ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )lined word “it” in the second paragraph refers to________．
A．going to school
B．being absent from school
C．studying hard
D．suffering from SMA
53．What do we know about Ms. Wendy
A．She insists that her son go to school.
B．She used to be a piano teacher in a school.
C．She is satisfied with her son's performance at school.2·1·c·n·j·y
D．She fears that her son will be helpless when she is older.
54．Which words can best describe Fabian
A．Sensitive and weak.
B．Active and optimistic.
C．Clever and strong.
D．Stressed and concerned.
55．What is the BEST title for the text
A．He Is Disabled but He Is a Fighter.
B．A Great Mother and Her Special Son.
C．How to Fight Against SMA.
D．A Disabled Boy's Dream.
Ⅳ.任务型读写(共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分)
(2013·安徽高考)A ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ristotle once wrote that “happiness is a state of activity”．In other words，whether you're seeking life－long satisfaction or a few moments of good cheer，you've got to move forward.We've interviewed the experts and found five steps to take toward a sunny mood(心情)：
Over a 30－year per ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )iod，University of Illinois researchers asked nearly 120，000 people how income，education，political participation，volunteer activities and close relationships affected their happiness.Reported Newsweek's Sharon Begley on the findings，“The highest levels of happiness are found with the most stable and satisfying relationships.”
Singing aloud，talki ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ng to a stranger，raising your hand：all may increase a feeling of happiness，according to a study from Wake Forest University.Participants(参与者) followed the development of their moods for two weeks and reported feeling happier when they were more outgoing and less happy when reserved or withdrawn.
The editors of forbe ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )s.com gave $5 or $20 to 46 strangers by chance.Half the group was told to spend the money on themselves，while the other half was told to spend it on others.Those who'd shared the wealth felt much happier at the end of the day than those who'd spent it on themselves.There was no difference in happiness between those who spent $ 5 or $ 20，suggesting that it's not how much money you spend，but how you spend it，that inspires the spirit.
Studies from the Po ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )sitive Psychology Center showed that discouraged people who wrote down three good things that happened to them each day for six months reported an improved attitude.
Drinking water really ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )can help keep you cheerful.A small 2012 study from the University of Connecticut suggested that even slight dehydration(脱水) affected the moods of its female participants.
Title 56.________for Happiness

Some 59.______ toward happiness
·Value your relationships ·The 60.______ happiness lies in the most stable and satisfying relationships.

综合检测(二)
1．B 考查词语辨析。句意：美 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )国由50个州组成，可是中国由34个省区组成。consist of＝be made up of由……组成，故正确答案为B项。
2．B present授予，呈现；excha ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )nge交换；offer提供，提出；change改变。句意：新郎、新娘正在交换结婚礼物，这时所有的灯都灭了，整个大厅里一片漆黑。
3．B 句意：我们缺少水但 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )还能维持一天。hold out for another day中，hold out此处意为“维持”，for是介词，接时间表示持续一段时间。C项意为“拒绝提供(信息或答案)”；D项意为“等一会，别挂断”，均不合句意。
4．B 答句句意：“你的房 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )间乱七八糟，你最好整理一下。”out of sight看不见；in a mess乱七八糟；at sea茫然；in the dark在黑暗中，蒙在鼓里。
5．C 句意为：老师又强调说，学生在 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )复述故事时不要漏掉任何重要细节。bring out使显出；let out发出；leave out遗漏；make out弄清楚。
6．A 句意为“他在想他是否能溜出演讲大 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )厅而不被别人发现”。本题考查with的复合结构，with的宾语是anyone，宾补与anyone之间是主动关系，且表示正在进行的动作，故用动词－ing形式作宾补。
7．B 本题考查insist后的虚 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )拟语气。insist后的宾语从句如果表示“坚持应该”含义，则需用“should＋动词原形”来表示，如果表示“坚持某一事实”，则用陈述语气。句意为：这个年轻人坚持说，他什么也没有做错，应该被释放。根据句意，insist后的两个宾语从句中，第一个陈述事实，而第二个是表示“坚持应该”，故答案应为B项。
8．D 句意为：要不是因为这张免费电影票，我就不能去看电影了。省略了if，将助动词had提到了主语前。
9．B 句意：——我一直感觉到心情 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )很糟糕，而且孤独，我该怎么办？——别紧张，尝试与你的朋友谈谈，好好照顾自己的身体。Take it easy！别紧张，慢慢来。
10．B 句意：我原本想要给 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )你一份贵重的生日礼物的，但是我把钱花光了。would like to have done“过去想要做某事而实际未做”；run out of“用完；耗尽”，为及物动词短语，其主语通常是人。
11．C 句意：把这些箱子装上船有困难吗？share分享；solve解决；load装载；charge指控。
12．B 考查短语辨析。句意：斯 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )诺克超级明星丁俊晖把他的成功归功于很多人，尤其是他父亲。in turn“轮流”；in particular“特别是；尤其是”；in return“作为回报”；in peace“和平地”。
13．A 考查状语从句。句意：——我 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )想知道你们怎么收费。——前两个免费，但第三个要收费30元。while表示对比，意为“可是，然而”。until“直到”；when“当……时候”；before“在……之前”。
14．D translate翻译；d ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )egrade贬低；decline拒绝；transform转变。句意：在短短的二十年间，该国已变成先进的工业大国。
15．B 考查省略。If ever ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )是If I have ever been to the Great Wall的省略。根据it might have been during my early childhood.可知已经去过。排除C和D项。if any“如果有的话”此处不符合题意也应排除。 21*cnjy*com
【语篇解读】 James一直梦想得到 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )一辆自行车，但是却没有足够的钱，为此他决定打零工挣钱自己买。当他终于拥有了属于自己的自行车时，才意识到自己为之付出的努力才更为珍贵。

Ever feel like th ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ere aren't enough hours in the day A group of time－challenged Canadian women are wishing for a 25－hour clock.21教育网
Jessie Behan, presi ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )dent of the 25th Hour Coalition (联盟)which is a group of Canadian women who have changed to a longer day, said the struggle for women to maintain work－life balance motivated (激励) her to research the body's natural clock.“Many of my girlfriends are having kids，getting married, and I see the sufferings of dealing all that when you're a working woman，”she said.“Women like myself are sick of living their lives by a 24－hour clock.”2·1·c·n·j·y
A 2007 study by ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )Charles Czeisler found a switch to longer days could be beneficial, especially for frequent travelers, shift workers, astronauts and those who experience trouble sleeping or waking.
In a similar study ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ), Czeisler showed the body's natural clock averages 24 hours and 11 minutes in both young and older people.The current 360－degree clock has 720 minutes, giving each minute 0.5 degree.With the new 25－hour day, 30 minutes is added to each 12－hour period making each minute 0.48 degree.
While still a ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) relatively small movement－the 25th Hour Coalition has 160 Facebook members, Behan is hoping for large changes.“The goal is to get as many women on board; there's no harm in just trying it out and seeing.If it gets big, maybe the government will decide to standardize it.”
A recent online survey ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) by Reader's Digest, which included 150 people in each of the 13 countries, suggests it's not just Canadians looking for longer days.Readers were asked“what would you do with an extra hour”if given a choice between sleep, work, exercise and family time.In Spain, half of respondents said they'd like an extra hour in the day to devote to family time.The same was found for respondents in Brazil, the US and Britain, who chose family time over sleep, which came in at a close second.Only in India did work top the list with 50 percent of respondents claiming they could use an extra hour at the office.【来源：21·世纪·教育·网】
1．Some Canadian wor ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )king women are campaigning for the 25－hour day in order to ________．
A．have more chances at work
B．keep a balance between life and work
C．experience something new

2．According to Charle ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )s Czeisler, the 25－hour clock would bring the most benefits to ________．21·cn·jy·com
a．frequent travelers
b．shift workers
c．people with sleeping disorders
d．astronomers
A．a，b，c B．b，c，d
C．a，b，d D．a，c，d
3．Charles Czeisler tends to think that ________．
A．it's easy to adopt the 25－hour clock
B．it's hard to abandon the 24－hour clock
C．the 25－hour clock fits the body's natural clock more
D．different people have different natural clocks
4．What is implied in the last paragraph
A．Respondents from most nations want more family time.
B．Respondents from developed countries experience more stress.
C．Most Canadian respondents claim that they need more family time.
D．Respondents from India are the most hardworking of the 13 nations.

8．pattern 9.conveyed 10.Eventually
Ⅱ.1.C 由于孩子们在 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )房间里大声吵闹，我很难专心学习，本题考查with的复合结构。排除D项；make与children为逻辑上的主谓关系，排除B项；根据句意，发出声音是当时进行的动作，而不是要发生的动作，故排除A项，选C项。
2．C 句意为：当我上学时，我不喜欢别人取笑我红色的头发。tease取笑，戏弄。A项，穿着；B项，责备；D项，打扰。根据句意C项正确。
3．A 考查词义辨析。eventually最 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )后，终于；unfortunately不幸地；generously慷慨地；happily高兴地。句意：有那么多的人排队等着喝咖啡，最终我们放弃了。
4．B 考查名词辨析。design设计 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )，构思；pattern图案，模式；model式样，模型，尤指整体构成；sample样品，标本。句意：对这个年龄段而言，这些行为模式很典型。
5．B transform转变，改造。句意：令人吃惊的是，在短短十年间这个偏远的小村庄已经变成了著名的旅游城市。
6．D 该句谓语动词(短语)是put for ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ward，因此答案为D项，made up of five famous scientists作定语，修饰the committee。
7．A 句意：我行走时没有 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )想什么特别的，只是环顾周围的事物。in particular“特别”；in harmony“和睦，和谐”；in doubt“怀疑”；in brief“简而言之”。
8．A 句意：“我还在进行 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )这个项目呢。”“哦，你要错过截止日期了。没多少时间了。”run out“用完；用尽”，符合题意。go out“熄灭；外出”；give out“分发；用完”，不用于时间；lose out“失败；输掉”。
9．A 考查动词词义辨析。句意：一个好的教师 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )必须知道怎样表达他的思想。convey“表达；转达”，符合句意。display“显示；显露”；consult“咨询；请教”；adapt“改编”。
10．D 考查让步状语从句。根据主句内容可知，她也擅长打篮球，由此可知排球是她的强项，故选while引导让步状语从句。 21*cnjy*com
11．A 考查形容词辨析。flexible ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )灵活的。句意：“我们应该采取灵活的方法处理一些事件。你知道，在那样的情况下，任何事都可能发生的。”“我知道了。谢谢您的提醒。”typical典型的，有代表性的；positive积极的，肯定的；concrete具体的。
12．B 考查状语从句的省略，补充完整为i ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )f it is not...。从句中的主语与主句的主语一致，而且含有be的某种形式，省去主语和be。
13．A 句意：——我叫Jonathan。我为你拼一下好吗？——如果你不介意的话就拼吧。if you don't mind如果你不介意。【出处：21教育名师】
14．D 本句译为“每个孩子都是独一无二的 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )，他们有各自的需求、爱好以及天赋”。A项意为“相互矛盾的；对立的；不一致的”；B项意为“相似的”；C项意为“原来的；起初的；最早的”；均与题意不符。
15．B 考查名词辨析。branches分支机构，支局，分公司，符合语境。句意为：这家公司在全国有许多分公司。
Ⅲ.1.D poem表示“诗”，是可 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )数名词，表示“诗”的类别时，应用a poem，the poem或poems。poet则是“诗人”的意思。此处用poetry表示“诗歌”这一概念。
2．A 此处有介词of，也有宾语th ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )eir feelings，要用动名词。名词expression不能接宾语；动词expresses和expressed不能作介词宾语。
3．B 从空前的negat ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ive feelings“消极的情感”看出，要填anger，和fear相一致。excitement(兴奋)，darkness(黑暗)和joy(高兴)均与句意不符。
4．A 大多数人有时候写诗，此处是泛指意义，如果选B项或D项，则与“for example，at school”矛盾。
5．B have fun with w ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ords“搞文字游戏”，是固定搭配。game是可数名词，“比赛，游戏”，不能单独使用；smile和food与句意不符。
6．A 此处是There be句型。由空后的are可排除It，This和That。
7．B 由下文列举了部分生活变化的内容可知 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )，答案应为changes，排除branches(分支)，exercises(练习)和lines(行、线)。
8．D 从“By writing down your feelings”看出应该用you。
9．B face to face“面对面地 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )”；shoulder to shoulder“肩并肩地”；hand in hand“手拉手”；eye to eye“赞同”。句意为：当两人不能面对面地倾诉衷肠的时候，写诗也许是好办法。
10．B 由空后的“or having difficulties”可知，生病和有困难是两件不幸的事情，是并列关系。
11．D 由上文的叙述可知，通过写诗可 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )以治疗人们心理和情感方面的问题。poems(诗歌)应该是被写(written)，而不是被说(said，spoken)或被看见(seen)。
12．C every day“每天 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )”，用作状语；everyday“每天”，用作定语；some time“一些时间”；sometime“某时”。句意：学生们每天读诗写诗。
13．B to be creative构成不定式。
14．D 从“such as cancer”看出，这些学生需要治疗，因此最佳答案是medical。
15．A in表示“在某方面”。句意：通过写诗，这些学生更有自信。
16．B 介词through后面用which而不用that或who；空前的先行词a channel(渠道)不表示时间，可排除when。

18．C other people“其他 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )的人”，此处是泛指。another修饰可数名词；the other＋名词复数，表示特指；the others不用来修饰名词。21·世纪*教育网

20．A a sense of achievement“一种成就感”。

A few extra pounds mi ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ght help you live longer if you're past your prime but otherwise healthy，a new study finds.2·1·c·n·j·y
Doctors routinel ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )y follow guidelines issued by the World Health Organization(WHO)．Because weight depends on height，they use a standard measure called body mass index(BMI)，which is calculated as the weight in kilograms divided by the height in meters squared.21教育名师原创作品
Healthy weight i ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )s described as a BMI anywhere between 18.5 and 24.9 in adults，whereas 25 to 29.9 is overweight and 30＋is obese(肥胖的)．
The new study sug ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )gests that in the elderly，these boundaries may be too narrow.While no one is questioning that extra fat increases health risks in young and middle－aged adults，it may reduce the effect on old age，said Dr. Thomas Yoshikawa.
So far，nobody knows ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )exactly how BMI affects lifespan(寿命)in older people.Some researchers think that it acts as an energy reserve that can help the elderly cope with illness.
For the study， ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )Australian researchers followed more than 9，000 men and women who were between 70 and 75 years old at the outset.The participants reported their height and weight as well as various factors related to health and lifestyle.About 33 percent of the women and 44 percent of the men were overweight.
Over 10 years，more t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )han 2，000 of the participants died.Women who had an active life and didn't smoke were the most likely to be alive at the end of the study.But neither health nor lifestyle could fully explain why overweight people of both sexes survived longer than the normal－weight people，who fared no better than obese people.In terms of survival，the best BMI was between 26 and 27，well within the overweight range.
The new results agre ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e with earlier research showing that fat may be beneficial in old age.

A．WHO should change the standard of BMI
B．we shouldn't lose weight when we are old
C．we needn't worry about our weight throughout our life
D．extra fat does more harm to the young than the elderlywww.21-cn-jy.com
