Friendship is a beautiful relationship. While some friendships tend to come to an end as we grow in life, there are some rare and special ones that are meant to last forever. No matter how many years pass by, the connection stays alive.
Two childhood best friends who were “joined at the hip” as kids were reunited over a half century later—when they least expected it.
Irene Gresty and Janet Henderson were neighbors in the 1940s, growing up in England, but like many friends, they lost touch over the years. After getting married, Gresty moved with her husband who was in the navy and was shipped to many foreign places. However, Gresty, despite living in many countries, loved her own country. Gresty said, “I loved the area where I grew up, so I wanted to settle down to enjoy retirement (退休).” Thanks to an event hosted by Bield Housing and Care, a non-profit organization devoted to supporting residents over 55 years old, finally they met each other. Gresty said, “We sat down beside each other and she turned to me and said ‘Is that you Irene ’ and I just laughed and said ‘Yes. Are you Janet ’ ” They couldn’t believe that they were meeting each other after so long. They spent the rest of the afternoon talking to each other.
Henderson said that it is usual in life for people to often move away from the area and lose contact. As their family names changed, Henderson couldn’t recognize her friend’s name despite being told about her. The two have promised to never stay long without seeing each other. They exchanged numbers so they could meet in the future. They have many years to catch up on everything they have missed.
4. What does the underlined part “joined at the hip” in Paragraph 2 probably mean
A. Grow fast. B. Work hard.
C. Hang around. D. Stay together.
5. What made Gresty return to England
A. Her friends’ invitation. B. Her husband’s new job.
C. Her interest in traveling. D. Her love for her hometown.

C. Long-planned. D. Well-organized
7. What did Gresty and Henderson promise to do next
A. Keep in touch. B. Travel abroad.
C. Post their stories. D. Make more friends.
【答案】4. D 5. D 6. A 7. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是记叙文。文章主要讲述了Gresty和Henderson两人从小是好朋友,由于某种原因,两人失去了联系,但是半个世纪后两人又重聚了。
【4题详解】
词句猜测题。根据画线短语所在句子“Two childhood best friends who were “joined at the hip” as kids were reunited over a half century later—when they least expected it.(两个儿时最好的朋友在孩提时就“joined at the hip”,半个多世纪后在他们最意想不到的时候重聚。)”可知,半个世纪后两人重聚了,这说明两个人在小时候就是朋友,即两人小时候就待在一起,由此可知,画线短语joined at the hip意为“待在一起”,故选D。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“However, Gresty, despite living in many countries, loved her own country. Gresty said, “I loved the area where I grew up, so I wanted to settle down to enjoy retirement (退休).”(然而,尽管格雷斯蒂生活在许多国家,但她热爱自己的国家。格雷斯蒂说:“我喜欢我长大的地方,所以我想安定下来享受退休生活”)”可知,Gresty对家乡的热爱使她回到英格兰,故选D。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“Thanks to an event hosted by Bield Housing and Care, a non-profit organization devoted to supporting residents over 55 years old, finally they met each other. Gresty said, “We sat down beside each other and she turned to me and said ‘Is that you Irene ’ and I just laughed and said ‘Yes. Are you Janet ’ ” They couldn’t believe that they were meeting each other after so long. (感谢Bield Housing and Care(一家致力于支持 55 岁以上居民的非营利组织)主办的一次活动,他们终于见面了。格雷斯蒂说:“我们坐在一起,她转向我说‘是吗?’”是你艾琳吗?我只是笑了笑说:“是的。”“你是珍妮特吗?”她们不敢相信这么久之后又见面了)”可推知,Gresty和Henderson的重聚是出乎意料的,故选A。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“The two have promised to never stay long without seeing each other. They exchanged numbers so they could meet in the future. They have many years to catch up on everything they have missed.(这两个人已答应不再久别重逢。他们交换了电话号码,以便将来见面。他们有许多年的时间来弥补他们错过的一切。)”可推知,Gresty和Henderson承诺接下来两人会保持联系,故选A。

Everywhere and in every given time, children spend their days in simple but interesting games. One such game which has passed the test of time, becoming one of the oldest forms of child’s play ever known, is hoop rolling.
Hoop rolling is both a child’s game and a sport. A large hoop is rolled along the ground, generally by means of an object held by the player to keep it rolling. The aim of the game is to keep the hoop upright for as long periods of time as possible. First, the left hand supports the hoop; the right hand holds the long handle of the hook (钩). And then keep the balance of the hoop with the hook. Push the hoop to the ground, keep it rolling steadily and keep the hoop from falling. In the team competition, it is mainly about who is faster, and how far to roll.
Hoop rolling has a very long history and it has been recorded since ancient times in Africa, Asia and Europe. In Asia, the earliest records date from ancient China, and in Europe from ancient Greece. The ancient Greeks welcomed hoop rolling as a beneficial exercise for those not very strong. Besides, the game was also a common pastime of African village children.
Hoop rolling serves as evidence (证据) of everyday life about the long-gone civilization. Every year at Wellesley College, hoop rolling competition started as a memory of the May Day celebration of spring. Now it gradually becomes part of the graduation ceremony. Students celebrate by dressing up in children’s clothing and playing games. The child’s play popular in ancient times helps them escape from real-world worries.
The long history of the game shows that there indeed are inventions that are timeless. The human ability to make himself and others happy has been present since the beginning of civilization, and will be present forever.
8. What does Paragraph 2 mainly tell us about hoop rolling
A. Its rules. B. Its types.
C. Its history. D. Its material
9. Why did ancient Greeks like hoop rolling
A. It offered a way to kill time.
B. It was fit for village children.
C. It could be played anywhere.
D. It helped the weak to exercise.
10. Why is Wellesley College mentioned
A. To remember the May Day celebration.
B. To promote a method of reducing stress.
C. To encourage other colleges to follow suit.
D. To give an example of preserving the tradition.
11. What does the long history of hoop rolling suggest
A. People’s hobbies have changed a lot.
B. All inventions will survive in history.
C. Good things can stand the test of time.
D. New games will always be on the way.
【答案】8. A 9. D 10. D 11. C

The aim of the game is to keep the hoop upright for as long periods of time as possible. First, the left hand supports the hoop; the right hand holds the long handle of the hook (钩). And then keep the balance of the hoop with the hook. Push the hoop to the ground, keep it rolling steadily and keep the hoop from falling. In the team competition, it is mainly about who is faster, and how far to roll.(滚铁环既是儿童游戏,也是一项运动。一个大的铁环沿着地面滚动,通常是通过游戏者拿着一个物体来保持滚动。比赛的目的是尽可能长时间地保持铁环直立。首先,左手支撑铁环;右手握住钩子的长柄。然后用钩子保持铁环的平衡。将铁环推到地上,保持其平稳滚动,防止铁环倒下。在团体赛中,主要是关于谁更快,以及滚多远)”可知,本段主要介绍了滚铁环的游戏规则。故选A。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“The ancient Greeks welcomed hoop rolling as a beneficial exercise for those not very strong. (古希腊人乐意接纳滚铁环运动,认为这对那些身体不太强壮的人来说是一种有益的运动)”可知,古希腊人喜欢滚铁环运动,是因为它帮助身体虚弱的人锻炼身体。故选D。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“Hoop rolling serves as evidence (证据) of everyday life about the long-gone civilization. Every year at Wellesley College, hoop rolling competition started as a memory of the May Day celebration of spring.(滚铁环是关于早已消失的文明的日常生活的证据。韦尔斯利学院(Wellesley College)每年都会举办滚铁环比赛,以纪念春天的五一节)”可知,文章提到韦尔斯利学院是为了举一个保护传统的例子。故选D。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“One such game which has passed the test of time, becoming one of the oldest forms of child’s play ever known, is hoop rolling.(其中一种游戏已经通过了时间的考验,成为有史以来最古老的儿童游戏形式之一,那就是滚铁环)”以及最后一段“The long history of the game shows that there indeed are inventions that are timeless. The human ability to make himself and others happy has been present since the beginning of civilization, and will be present forever.(游戏的悠久历史表明,确实有一些发明是永恒的。人类使自己和他人幸福的能力自文明之初就存在,并将永远存在)”可知,滚铁环这种儿童游戏也是一种运动,经历了时间的考验,成为了有史以来最古老的儿童游戏形式之一,由此可推知好东西经得起时间的考验。故选C。
D
In childhood we’re told not to talk to strangers. But now we’ve grown up, and it’s time to forget that, because having a chat with someone we don’t know could change our whole day.
Gillian Sandstrom, a lecturer in psychology,would often talk with a woman working on a hot dog stand. “I started nodding and smiling at the lady. When she replied, the small connection made me feel seen, safe and part of the community,” says Sandstrom. This positive connection led her to study the effect of simple social communication. She found that people were about 17 percent happier on the days when they started a chat over a coffee machine,or said hi to a neighbour. “My work clearly shows that talking to strangers makes you more positive,” she says. “It also encourages you to trust other people more,which makes the world friendlier and safer.”
The reason is simple. We want to connect with others. The more people we do this with,the happier we are. In fact, according to a study from Harvard Business School, people who talk within more different relationship levels, including friends, family members, co-workers and strangers, are happier than those with a less broad mix of communication.
The problem is that many of us find the idea of beginning a conversation with strangers a bit frightening. Humans are naturally afraid of being refused. As a result, even though we can sense deep down that nothing too bad could happen if we start a conversation with a stranger, a part of us is afraid of getting hurt doing it.
The good news is that what we fear most rarely happens. In Dr Sandstrom’s work, she found that only ten percent of contact received no answers. The more often we speak to people, the easier it becomes, “Doing it time and time again was the key,” says Dr Sandstrom. “The more people talked to strangers, the less worried they felt about being refused and more confident they became in their ability to start and continue a:conversation.”
12. What drove Sandstrom to start her study
A. Her personal experience.
B. Her childhood memories.
C. Her interest in social study.
D. Her chats with co-workers.
13. What does the study from Harvard Business School suggest people do
A. Talk more with friends.
B. Group different people.
C. Enlarge their social circle.
D. Select their favorite partners.
14. Why are many people unwilling to talk with strangers
A. They fear getting physically injured.
B. They are not used to making friends.
C. They have no idea how to start a talk.
D. They worry about being turned down.
15. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text
A. Skills necessary for social life
B. Tips on leaving comfort zones
C. The key to building connections
D. The power of talking to strangers
【答案】12. A 13. C 14. D 15. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是说明文。文章主要介绍了与陌生人交谈会对我们产生积极影响。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“Gillian Sandstrom, a lecturer in psychology,would often talk with a woman working on a hot dog stand. “I started nodding and smiling at the lady. When she replied, the small connection made me feel seen, safe and part of the community,” says Sandstrom. This positive connection led her to study the effect of simple social communication. (心理学讲师吉莉安·桑德斯特罗姆 (Gillian Sandstrom) 经常与在热狗摊上工作的女士交谈。“我开始向那位女士点头微笑。当她回复时,这种小小的联系让我感到被关注、安全和社区的一部分,”桑德斯特罗姆说。这种积极的联系促使她研究简单社交沟通的效果。)”可知,Sandstrom的亲身经历促使她开始她的研究,故选A。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“In fact, according to a study from Harvard Business School, people who talk within more different relationship levels, including friends, family members, co-workers and strangers, are happier than those with a less broad mix of communication.(事实上,根据哈佛商学院的一项研究,在不同的关系层次上交谈的人,包括朋友、家人、同事和陌生人,比那些交流范围较小的人更快乐。)”可知,哈佛商学院的一项研究表明,在不同的关系层次上交谈的人,包括朋友、家人、同事和陌生人,比那些交流范围较小的人更快乐。由此可推知,哈佛商学院的研究建议人们扩大他们的社交圈子。故选C。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中“The more people talked to strangers, the less worried they felt about being refused and more confident they became in their ability to start and continue a:conversation(人们与陌生人交谈的次数越多,他们对被拒绝的担心就越少,并且对自己开始和继续对话的能力越有信心)”可知,很多人不愿意和陌生人说话是因为他们担心被拒绝。故选D。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是第一段“In childhood we’re told not to talk to strangers. But now we’ve grown up, and it’s time to forget that, because having a chat with someone we don’t know could change our whole day.(小时候我们就被告知不要和陌生人说话。但现在我们已经长大了,是时候忘记这一点了,因为与我们不认识的人聊天可能会改变我们的一整天。)”可知,文章主要介绍了与陌生人交谈会对我们产生积极的影响,即可能会改变我们的一整天,D项“与陌生人交谈的力量”适合作文章标题,故选D。

【答案】Dear Eric,
Glad to hear from you. I understand that quit well that you are upset.
I recommend that you talk to your parents about your anxiety. It is better to be straightforward and honest than to repress your feelings and keep them inside. Most parents don’t listen to what their kids have got to say about matters because they fail to see that their child is growing up and is becoming more mature. Probably the best way to tackle this is to keep calm. No matter how angry they are, they are still your parents and you should be polite to them.
I hope these advice can help you.
Yours sincerely

Friendship is a beautiful relationship. While some friendships tend to come to an end as we grow in life, there are some rare and special ones that are meant to last forever. No matter how many years pass by, the connection stays alive.
Two childhood best friends who were “joined at the hip” as kids were reunited over a half century later—when they least expected it.
Irene Gresty and Janet Henderson were neighbors in the 1940s, growing up in England, but like many friends, they lost touch over the years. After getting married, Gresty moved with her husband who was in the navy and was shipped to many foreign places. However, Gresty, despite living in many countries, loved her own country. Gresty said, “I loved the area where I grew up, so I wanted to settle down to enjoy retirement (退休).” Thanks to an event hosted by Bield Housing and Care, a non-profit organization devoted to supporting residents over 55 years old, finally they met each other. Gresty said, “We sat down beside each other and she turned to me and said ‘Is that you Irene ’ and I just laughed and said ‘Yes. Are you Janet ’ ” They couldn’t believe that they were meeting each other after so long. They spent the rest of the afternoon talking to each other.
Henderson said that it is usual in life for people to often move away from the area and lose contact. As their family names changed, Henderson couldn’t recognize her friend’s name despite being told about her. The two have promised to never stay long without seeing each other. They exchanged numbers so they could meet in the future. They have many years to catch up on everything they have missed.

7. What did Gresty and Henderson promise to do next
A. Keep in touch. B. Travel abroad.

Everywhere and in every given time, children spend their days in simple but interesting games. One such game which has passed the test of time, becoming one of the oldest forms of child’s play ever known, is hoop rolling.
Hoop rolling is both a child’s game and a sport. A large hoop is rolled along the ground, generally by means of an object held by the player to keep it rolling. The aim of the game is to keep the hoop upright for as long periods of time as possible. First, the left hand supports the hoop; the right hand holds the long handle of the hook (钩). And then keep the balance of the hoop with the hook. Push the hoop to the ground, keep it rolling steadily and keep the hoop from falling. In the team competition, it is mainly about who is faster, and how far to roll.
Hoop rolling has a very long history and it has been recorded since ancient times in Africa, Asia and Europe. In Asia, the earliest records date from ancient China, and in Europe from ancient Greece. The ancient Greeks welcomed hoop rolling as a beneficial exercise for those not very strong. Besides, the game was also a common pastime of African village children.
Hoop rolling serves as evidence (证据) of everyday life about the long-gone civilization. Every year at Wellesley College, hoop rolling competition started as a memory of the May Day celebration of spring. Now it gradually becomes part of the graduation ceremony. Students celebrate by dressing up in children’s clothing and playing games. The child’s play popular in ancient times helps them escape from real-world worries.
The long history of the game shows that there indeed are inventions that are timeless. The human ability to make himself and others happy has been present since the beginning of civilization, and will be present forever.
8. What does Paragraph 2 mainly tell us about hoop rolling
A Its rules. B. Its types.
C. Its history. D. Its material
9. Why did ancient Greeks like hoop rolling
A. It offered a way to kill time.
B. It was fit for village children.
C. It could be played anywhere.
D. It helped the weak to exercise.
10. Why is Wellesley College mentioned
A. To remember the May Day celebration.
B. To promote a method of reducing stress.
C. To encourage other colleges to follow suit.
D. To give an example of preserving the tradition.
11 What does the long history of hoop rolling suggest
A. People’s hobbies have changed a lot.
B. All inventions will survive in history.
C. Good things can stand the test of time.
D. New games will always be on the way.
D
In childhood we’re told not to talk to strangers. But now we’ve grown up, and it’s time to forget that, because having a chat with someone we don’t know could change our whole day.
Gillian Sandstrom, a lecturer in psychology,would often talk with a woman working on a hot dog stand. “I started nodding and smiling at the lady. When she replied, the small connection made me feel seen, safe and part of the community,” says Sandstrom. This positive connection led her to study the effect of simple social communication. She found that people were about 17 percent happier on the days when they started a chat over a coffee machine,or said hi to a neighbour. “My work clearly shows that talking to strangers makes you more positive,” she says. “It also encourages you to trust other people more,which makes the world friendlier and safer.”
The reason is simple. We want to connect with others. The more people we do this with,the happier we are. In fact, according to a study from Harvard Business School, people who talk within more different relationship levels, including friends, family members, co-workers and strangers, are happier than those with a less broad mix of communication.
The problem is that many of us find the idea of beginning a conversation with strangers a bit frightening. Humans are naturally afraid of being refused. As a result, even though we can sense deep down that nothing too bad could happen if we start a conversation with a stranger, a part of us is afraid of getting hurt doing it.
The good news is that what we fear most rarely happens. In Dr Sandstrom’s work, she found that only ten percent of contact received no answers. The more often we speak to people, the easier it becomes, “Doing it time and time again was the key,” says Dr Sandstrom. “The more people talked to strangers, the less worried they felt about being refused and more confident they became in their ability to start and continue a:conversation.”
