主题语境:友谊 难度系数:★★★☆☆
建议用时:7分钟
It is often said that you can’t have too many friends.But it seems that there is a natural limit to the number of people we stay in touch with.A study found that when we make new friends,by starting a new job or going to university,we downgrade or even drop old ones.And while the friends may change,the number stays almost the same.
Oxford University researcher Felix Reed-Tsochas asked 24 students in the final months of school to list all their friends and relatives and say how close to them they were.The pupils filled in the questionnaire (问卷) twice more after starting work or going to university.They were also given free mobile phones and agreed that researchers could use their bills to work out who they called,when and for how long.
Putting the two pieces of information together showed,unsurprisingly,that most people have a small circle of close friends,who they spend most of their time talking to.This inner circle is surrounded by group after group of ever more distant friends.As the volunteers’ lives changed,this overall pattern,including the number of best friends,remained almost the same,meaning that some close friends from childhood were dropped or downgraded as new friendships were built.
Dr Reed-Tsochas said,“Maybe my best friend is no longer the same person but the amount of time I allocate (分配) to my best friend is still the same.” He added that this finding suggests that even with the coming of modern technology we are only capable of forming a limited number of true friendships.
Chester University researcher Dr Sam Roberts said,“Our results are likely to reflect limitations in the ability of humans to keep emotionally close relationships both because of limited time and because the emotional capital (情绪资本) that individuals can allocate between family members and friends is limited.”
1.Which is a method Dr Reed-Tsochas used in his study
A.Checking the volunteers’ call records.
B.Learning about the volunteers’ hobbies.
C.Tracking the volunteers’ job performance.
D.Interviewing the volunteers’ schoolmates.
2.What did the researchers find from the study
A.One’s attitude to friendships remains the same.
B.People attach great importance to friendships.
C.People rarely drop their old friends to make new ones.
D.The number of one’s best friends doesn’t change much.
3.What is the function of the last paragraph
A.To add background information.
B.To give a possible explanation.
C.To offer some suggestions.
D.To introduce a new topic.

At the present time,the Internet is a major part of our lives.It’s always in our hands or pockets.Whatever we are doing is somehow linked to the Internet.We start finding our connections online as well,which is quite impressive.We find a person on a social media platform,see we have a shared interest and start chatting!
Online friendships in the past were doubted and not considered reliable because you didn’t know who was behind the screen.But now,when we can go shopping online,clear bills in online banks,and virtually attend schools,why can’t we find some real friends online
With online friends,there are several advantages.When we find something catchy in someone — the very first quality of our online friend,we only then encourage ourselves to find ways to talk to them.We can share with them our everyday things,and what’s better than texting our friends our secrets We can be present together with them on interested forums.We can share looks just through a click.And the best part is that we can shoot them a real quick message whenever we need their expert advice.
With all these strengths of an online friend,also come some weak points which make some people afraid to find their friends online.Some people believe that the person they are talking to on the screen is not real or trying to get information about their private life.They feel uncomfortable sharing and chatting with a person who they’ve never met in real life.Another problem that comes in the way of online friends is hanging out.People can’t really hang out with their online friends.The other problem is miscommunication,which sometimes leads to the end of a friendship.
Despite all these problems,online company is a perfect form of relationship between two or more.After all,we would notice these problems in any other kind of relationship or friendship.Miscommunication or a trust issue is always present even in face-to-face communication.
4.What is paragraph 1 mainly about
A.How the Internet has changed our daily life.
B.Whether people should make online friends.

I’d been asked to go to an editor’s office with the old program “We have a story we think you’d be perfect for”.Here was the topic:We want you to write about how middle-aged men have no friends.Seeing that,I couldn’t help thinking,“Excuse me I have plenty of friends.” Then the editor told me there were all sorts of evidence out there to show how men,as they age,let their close friendships go,and that the fact can cause all sorts of problems and have a terrible impact on their health.
As I walked back to my desk in the newsroom—a distance of maybe 100 yards—I quickly searched for my friend list.First of all,there was my friend Mark.Wait,how often do we actually hang out Maybe four or five times a year And then there was another best friend from high school,Rory,and...I actually could not remember the last time I’d seen him.
There were all those other good friends who seemed as if they’re still in my life because we follow one another via social media,but as I ran down the list of those I considered real,true,lifelong friends,I realized that it had been years since I saw many of them,even decades for a few.
By the time I got back to my desk,I realized that I was indeed perfect for this story,not because I was unusual in any way,but because my story was very,very typical.And as I looked into what that means,I realized that in the long term,I was heading down a path that was very,very dangerous.And I knew I needed a change.
8.What was the author’s first reaction to the topic
A.He thought it was perfect for him.
B.He knew the editor was joking.
C.He felt surprised and doubtful.
D.He showed an interest in it.
9.Why did the editor choose this topic
A.To solve health problems.
B.To change a dangerous path.
C.To attach importance to friendship.
D.To prove the author’s writing ability.
10.What did the author reflect on after walking back to the newsroom
A.He realized the topic was worth writing.
B.He wasn’t popular with others.
C.He had close friends in his life.
D.He didn’t make any true friends.
11.How did the author keep friendship with his friends

“Did you hear what happened to Adam last Friday ” Lindsey whispers to Tori.
With her eyes shining,Tori brags,“You bet I did.Sean told me two days ago.”
Who are Lindsey and Tori talking about It just happened to be yours truly,Adam Freedman.I can tell you that what they are saying is (a)not nice and (b)not even true.Still,Lindsey and Tori aren’t very different from most students here at Linton High School,including me.Many of our conversations are gossip(闲话).I have noticed three effects of gossip:it can hurt people,it can give gossipers a strange kind of satisfaction,and it can cause social pressures in a group.
An important negative effect of gossip is that it can hurt the person being talked about.Usually,gossip spreads information about a topic—break-ups,trouble at home,even dropping out—that a person would rather keep secret.The more embarrassing or shameful the secret is,the juicier the gossip it makes.Probably the worst type of gossip is the absolute lie.People often think of gossipers as harmless,but cruel lies can cause pain.
If we know that gossip can be harmful,then why do so many of us do it The answer lies in another effect of gossip:the satisfaction it gives us.Sharing the latest rumor(传言) can make a person feel important because he or she knows something that others don’t.Similarly,hearing the latest rumor can make a person feel like part of the “in group”.In other words,gossip is satisfying because it gives people a sense of belonging or even superiority(优越感).
Gossip can also have a third effect:it strengthens unwritten,unspoken rules about how people should act.Professor David Wilson explains that gossip is important in policing behaviors in a group.Translated into high school terms,this means that if everybody you hang around with is laughing at what John wore or what Jane said,then you can bet that wearing or saying something similar will get you the same kind of negative attention.The dos and don’ts conveyed through gossip will never show up in any student handbook.
The effects of gossip vary depending on the situation.Next time you feel the urge to spread the latest news,think about why you want to gossip and what effects your “juicy story” might have.
4.Why is a conversation given at the beginning of the passage
A.To introduce a topic.
B.To present an argument.
C.To tell a story.
D.To clarify the writing purpose.
5.What important negative effect does gossip have
A.Breaking up relationships.
B.Embarrassing the listener.
C.Spreading information around.
D.Causing unpleasant experiences.
6.Why do many people like to gossip
A.It gives them a feeling of pleasure.
B.It helps them make more friends.
C.It makes them better at telling stories.
D.It enables them to meet important people.
7.What does Professor David Wilson think gossip can do
A.Provide students with written rules.
B.Make people watch their own behaviors.
C.Force schools to improve student handbooks.
D.Attract the police’s attention to group behaviors.

2.B 细节理解题。根据Edgar Allan Poe部分的“However,two years later Poe broke off the relationship...Dickens was behind the article.”可知,Dickens和Poe的友谊破裂是由于萨克雷写的一篇文章。

【语篇导读】本文是一篇议论文。文章讨论了说闲话的影响,分析了人们为什么喜欢说闲话。
4.A 推理判断题。根据第一段和第二段可知,这两段叙述了两个人在说别人闲话的场景。根据第三段中的“Who are Lindsey and Tori talking about ...Many of our conversations are gossip.”可知,说闲话这种事几乎人人都会做。根据“I have noticed three effects of gossip...social pressures in a group.”可知,下文主要叙述“说闲话”的三个影响。由此推知,文章开头引用两人的交谈是为了引出“说闲话”这个话题。
5.D 细节理解题。根据第四段的第一句“An important negative effect of gossip is that it can hurt the person being talked about.”可知流言会给被谈论的人带来不愉快的经历。

2.naturally 考查词性转换。分析可知,此处修饰形容词gifted,应用副词作状语。故填naturally。
3.making 考查非谓语动词。when it comes to结构中,to为介词,之后接动词-ing形式作宾语。故填making。
4.to smile 考查非谓语动词。分析可知,forget to do sth.忘记去做某事。
5.attractive 考查词性转换。appear意为“看起来”,可视为连系动词,之后应用形容词作表语。
6.importance 考查词性转换。great为形容词,修饰名词。故填importance。
7.sends 考查动词的时态和主谓一致。分析可知,所填空在句中作谓语,时态为一般现在时;主语为动词-ing短语Doing this,谓语动词应为第三人称单数。故填sends。
8.in 考查介词。show a genuine interest in...对……表现出真正的兴趣。
9.what 考查宾语从句。分析可知, he or she likes为宾语从句,从句中的动词likes后缺少宾语,应用连接代词what。
10.tips 考查名词复数。空前有限定词these,应填名词复数。故填tips。

Dear Jackson,
How’s everything I am Li Hua,a student who attended the lecture you delivered last Friday.I’m writing to tell you how much I learned from it and convey my gratitude.
Your lecture on “How to build up healthy interpersonal relationship” featured solutions to problems students face every day with each other.I learned that maintaining positive relationships requires mutual understanding,respect and trust.I applied this knowledge to resolving a quarrel with my roommate who had ignored me for a week.In your next lecture I am expecting to learn more about being on good terms with family members.
Once again,thank you for your enlightening lecture,and hopefully I will see you in the near future!
Yours sincerely,

Almost everyone gossips.And a new study finds that people spend about 52 minutes per day,on average,talking to someone about others who are not present.
But here’s the surprise:Despite the assumption that most gossip is trash talk,the study finds the majority of gossip is nonjudgmental chat.
“People love to talk about others,” says Jeremy Cone,a psychologist at Williams College.“Think about your own conversations with a family member or friend:You talk about everyday things that keep you connected.You share your daughter got her driver’s license or your uncle has a kidney stone.Much of it is just documenting facts.”
Of course,the study also finds that some gossip is negative or mean-spirited.About 15% of the gossip included some type of negative judgement.
But even negative gossip can serve a purpose,as more research has found.
“I think gossiping can be a smart thing to do,” says Elena Martinescu who has studied gossip in the workplace.“It allows people to keep track of what’s going on and form social connection with other people.”
Research has shown that gossip can help build group cohesion(凝聚力) and cooperation.“When you gossip,you can keep track of who is contributing to the group and who’s being selfish,” Martinescu explains.“And by sharing this information,you can exclude those group members who are social loafers (游手好闲的人).”
“We also found negative gossip makes people likely to repair the aspects of their behavior that they were criticized for,” Martinescu says.
So,say,for instance,you were criticized for always arriving at work late.Hearing that gossip about yourself may motivate you to want to be on time.
Of course,this isn’t a license to be loose lips or to repeat baseless claims that can damage someone’s reputation unfairly.But confiding (吐露个人隐私) in your friends and colleagues and sharing impressions about another person—even when they’re negative—may be helpful.

If a good friend is keeping their distance and you want to reach out to them,the best approach is openness,honesty,and a willingness to understand your friend’s feelings. 1 Here are some specific steps to get a friend back.
2
There is most likely a specific reason for the gap of your friendship.Consider the situation as objectively as you can.Even if you feel wronged by your friend,consider the possibility that somewhere along the line you have also hurt them in ways that you weren’t aware of.
Be aware of other reasons.
If there seems to be no clear reason for your friend’s distance,don’t jump to conclusions.It may have nothing to do with you. 3 A failure in a test,a different opinion from others or a quarrel between parents can all affect your friend,which temporarily keeps him/her away from you.
Think about what you want to say in advance.
If you feel you need to apologize,be specific about what you’re apologizing for.Make sure it’s sincere:what are you really sorry about For example,if you’ve been ignoring your friend because you’re spending all your time with a new friend,it isn’t appropriate to apologize for spending time with this other person. 4
Call your friend or ask to meet.
5 Body language can communicate a lot more than just your voices and may help avoid misunderstandings.If you ask to meet,try to avoid unclear phrases like,“We need to talk.” These can put your friend on the defensive.Instead,try a more emotionally rooted approach like,“I miss you.” or “I was just hoping we could spend a little time together.”
A.Reflect on what happened.
B.Talk about things that you’d like to change.
C.It’s probably best to have a face-to-face talk if you can.
D.Your friend might have something else troubling them.
E.Instead,say sorry that you haven’t been making time for your friend.
F.Both of you might need time to process what the other has said.
G.Take your time,be thoughtful,and hopefully you can repair the damage.
