Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
Paul O’Sullivan walked around his apartment in the US city of Baltimore one evening in 2014，feeling bored.Just for fun，he decided to try to find out how many other people on Facebook shared his name.Moments later，dozens of Paul O’Sullivans filled his screen and he sent friend requests to them all.
As Baltimore Paul looked through the profiles of the Paul O’Sullivans who accepted his invitation，he noticed something four of them had in common：They were all musicians.Baltimore Paul had an idea.He asked the other three musical Pauls if they’d like to form a band called The Paul O’Sullivans.They all agreed.
Starting a band across multiple time zones proved to be nettlesome.Fortunately，Manchester Paul，a 59-year-old former professional musician knew how to fix that.They would create a kind of musical assembly line including online sessions.
The Band released its first original song，“Namesake”， in March 2016.But just months after the song’s release，Baltimore Paul began experiencing health issues that forced him to take time off from making music.The other Pauls also decided to take a break from the band.But they didn’t press pause on their friendship.Instead，they made sure Baltimore Paul never felt alone，even with the long distances between them.They shared family pictures and chatted online.
Finally，after a four-year break，Baltimore Paul was well enough to start making music again.The first thing the band did was create a music video for “Namesake”，which has now been watched on YouTube more than 50,000 times.
“It has been a lovely journey that has lasted seven years so far.A four-stop international tour—one concert in each of our hometowns—would be great，” says Baltimore Paul.
“What are the odds，” he says，“that a random Facebook request would lead not only to new music but to lasting friendships as well？” “Some things are just meant to be.”

Are you a good judge of character？Can you make an accurate judgement of someone’s personality based only on your first impression of them？Interestingly，the answer lies as much in them as it does in you.
One of the first people to try to identify good judges of character was US psychologist Henry F Adams in 1927.His research led him to conclude that people fell into two groups—good judges of themselves and good judges of others.Adams’s research has been widely criticized since then，but he wasn’t entirely wrong about there being two clearly different types.
More on that in a moment，but first we need to define what a good judge of character is.Is it someone who can read personality or someone who can read emotion？Those are two different skills.Emotions such as anger or joy or sadness can generate easily identifiable physical signs.Most of us would probably be able to accurately identify these signs，even in a stranger.As such，most of us are probably good judges of emotion.
In order to be a good judge of personality，however，there needs to be an interaction with the other person，and that person needs to be a “good target”．“Good targets” are people who reveal relevant and useful signals to their personality.So this means “the good judge” will only manifest when reading “good targets”．This is according to Rogers and Biesanz in their 2019 journal entitled “Reassessing the good judge of personality”．“We found consistent，clear and strong evidence that the good judge does exist，” Rogers and Biesanz concluded.But their key finding is that the good judge does not have magical gifts of perception—they are simply able to “detect and use the information provided by the good target”．
So，are first impressions really accurate？Well，if you’re a good judge talking to a “good target”，then it seems the answer is “yes”．And now we know that good judges probably do exist，more research can be done into how they read personality，what kind of people they are—and whether their skills can be taught.
语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。研究表明，优秀的性格判断者确实存在，他们能够读懂对方发出的信号并做出正确的判断。
5．What can we learn about Adams from paragraph 2
A．He is a good judge of character.
B．He divided psychologists into two groups.
C．His research result has been widely accepted.
D．His research on good judges was partially right.
答案 D
解析 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Adams’s research has been widely criticized since then，but he wasn’t entirely wrong about there being two clearly different types.”可知，对优秀判断者的划分并非完全错误，即他的研究是部分正确的。故选D。
6．What does the author think of emotion reading
A．Annoying. B．Joyful.
C．Simple. D．Strange.
答案 C
解析 推理判断题。根据第三段中“Emotions such as anger or joy...accurately identify these signs，even in a stranger.”可推知，作者认为情绪判断非常简单。故选C。
7．Which of the following would Rogers and Biesanz agree with
A．A good target is necessary for personality judgement.
B．A good target needs to get his personality reassessed.
C．A good judge can provide useful signals to our personality.
D．It’s possible to be a good judge just by looking at the other person.
答案 A
解析 推理判断题。根据第四段中“In order to be a good judge of personality，however，there needs to be an interaction with the other person，and that person needs to be a ‘good target’．..This is according to Rogers and Biesanz”可知，罗杰斯和比桑兹认为一个优秀的判断者需要有与之相匹配的“好目标”才能表现出来，由此推知，他们会赞同“一个‘好目标’是性格判断的必要条件”。故选A。
8．What does the author think future research should focus on
A．The skills of good communicators.
B．The features of good judges.
C．The ways to read personality.
D．The accuracy of first impressions.
答案 B
解析 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“And now we know that good judges probably do exist，more research can be done into how they read personality，what kind of people they are—and whether their skills can be taught.”可推知，接下来需要研究优秀判断者的技巧、性格特点以及他们的技巧是否可以被习得等，这些都是好的判断者的特点，也是作者认为未来研究应该关注的。故选B。

Most of us take the task of buying a cup of coffee for granted，as it seems simple enough.However，we have no idea just how stressful tasks like this can be for people who suffer from disabilities.That’s why it’s so heart-warming to see a story like this in which a barista (咖啡师) does something small to make life a little easier for someone who is deaf.
Ibby Piracha lost his hearing when he was only two years old，and he now goes to his local cafe in Leesburg，Virginia to order a cup of coffee at least three times a week.Though all the baristas who work there have his order memorized，Ibby always writes his order on his phone and shows it to the barista.
One day，however，one of the baristas did something that changed everything! After Ibby ordered his coffee，he was amazed when barista Krystal Pane handed him a note in response.“I’ve been learning sign language just so you can have the same experience as everyone else，” the note read.Krystal then asked Ibby in sign language what he would like to order.
Ibby was touched that she would learn sign language just to help him feel welcome.“I was just so moved that she actually wanted to learn sign language.It is really a totally different language and it was something that she wanted to do because of me.Because I was a deaf customer.I was very，very impressed，” Ibby said.
Krystal had spent hours watching teaching videos so that she could learn enough sign language to give Ibby the best customer service that she could! “My job is to make sure people have the experience they expect and that’s what I gave him，” Krystal says.
Ibby posted a photo of Krystal’s note online，and it quickly went viral，getting hundreds of likes and comments that praised Krystal for her kind action.

We are all born social and company to live happy and fruitful life.Healthy and supportive mutual relationships help reduce stress and promote the physical，mental and emotional well-being by building skills like time management，assertiveness(坚定自信)，sociability and empathy.
Making friends has made me feel secure.However，I have to be cautious to pick up friends sharing similar tastes and values.In addition，having added to one’s circle of friends helps one feel supported.
It is true that finding time to cultivate relationships is all about effective time management.My busy uncle finds time to catch up with family and friends during his tea and lunch breaks.Similarly my friend Somya uses her time on her way back home from work in her chauffeur-driven car to catch up with people.The modern inventions of SMS and e-mail help send wishes for birthdays and anniversaries to show your love and care.
Assertiveness is as much applicable to relationships.My friend Mohana emphasizes that neither being a passive observer nor being aggressive helps relationships.It is assertiveness in our relationships that opens the lines of effective communication.It emphasizes helping friends in need and also strengthens mutually supportive relationships.
It is also true that assertiveness by intuition promotes discretion(自行决定权) of friends and helps Lalitha distinguish positive people from drains of energy.She can easily figure this out by the flow of the conversation，the way each feels understood，accepted and supported，and by how I feel，happy，bored or energized in the relationship.It also helps to know whether all benefit from each other’s positive aspects.
Handling stress in life is all about cultivating mutually supportive relationships and working on them.Manisha always says she feels great when sharing her feelings after a hard day with people who share similar ideas.Actually we all need someone who would not just hear us，but listen to us，and we need to cultivate the art of listening and understanding people.

C
(2024·江苏盐城联盟校调研)
In conversations with strangers，people commonly tend to think they should speak less than half the conversation time to be likable.But we’ve discovered this idea is wrong.Our data shows that people tend to think they should speak about 45% of the time to be likable in a one-on-one conversation with someone new.However，it appears speaking up a bit more is actually a better strategy.
In our research，we randomly assigned people to speak for 30%,40%,50%,60% of the time in a conversation with someone new.We found that the more they spoke，the more they were liked by their new partners.This was only one study with 116 participants，but the outcome is supported by other researchers’ findings.For example，a previous study randomly assigned one in a pair to take on the role of “speaker” and the other to take on the role of “listener”．After engaging in 12-minute interactions，listeners liked speakers more than speakers liked listeners because listeners felt more similar to speakers than speakers did to listeners.This outcome suggests the reason people prefer those who speak up：Learning more about a new partner can make you feel like you have more in common with him or her.
Further，we assigned people to speak for up to 70% and even 90% of the time.The result shows it is not an ideal strategy.Our research does not suggest people hold down a conversational partner but rather that they feel comfortable speaking up more than they usually might.
Research like ours can help people gain a more reasonable understanding of social interactions with new people and become more confident about how to make a good first impression.It has the obvious benefit of allowing us to carefully control speaking time.However，it does not reflect more natural conversations.Future research should figure out whether our findings generalize to more natural interactions.
9．What is the common belief concerning conversations with strangers
A．Speaking a little less is preferred.
B．Speaking half the time is the best.
C．Listeners are more likable than speakers.
D．Listeners fail to control the conversations.
答案 A
解析 细节理解题。根据第一段中“In conversations with strangers，people commonly tend to think they should speak less than half the conversation time to be likable.”可知，关于与陌生人交谈的普遍看法是“少说一点是更好的”。故选A。
10．How was the research carried out
A．By analyzing speaking habits.
B．By making comparisons.
C．By listing examples.
D．By collecting data.
答案 B
解析 细节理解题。根据第二段中“In our research，we randomly assigned...they spoke，the more they were liked by their new partners.”可知，该研究是通过比较不同说话时长对受欢迎程度的影响来实施的。故选B。

A．The conversation time is limited.
B．Further study is hard to continue.
C．The findings are less widely applicable.
D．Interactions with strangers are missing.
答案 C
解析 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“However，it does not reflect...generalize to more natural interactions.”可知，这项研究的缺点是“这些研究发现的适用性不够广泛”。故选C。
12．In which situation can the research finding be applied
A．Attending a family gathering.
B．Partying with your friends.
C．Meeting a new teacher.
D．Making a public speech.
答案 C
解析 推理判断题。通读全文可知，文章介绍了一项关于如何与陌生人互动交往的研究，所以该研究发现可以应用于“与一位新老师初次见面”的情境，其中new是关键词。故选C。

Living with other people can be difficult，especially when each person comes from a different background and has their own ideas about how they want to live.Though having a roommate can be challenging at times，it can also be enjoyable and fun. 1
You can discuss your expectations ahead of time.Get together before or on the first day you move in together and talk about what each of you needs and wants from the other. 2 This applies to finances，food，clothes，possessions，use of common areas and so on.
You should agree to respect each other’s privacy.This is especially important. 3 For instance，you may not mind if your roommate comes into your room unannounced，but they might find you to be very rude for doing so.You should talk about these kinds of things so that you know what to expect from each other.
4 Say hello and goodbye，ask them how their day was，and show interest in their life.Getting to know the person you live with helps you understand their perspective，and allows them to understand yours.It also makes it easier to deal with problems that you have with that person if you’ve already developed a harmonious relationship with them.
You can also be considerate of your roommate in your life.Understand what’s going on in your roommate’s life.You should aim to be flexible and accommodating.Your roommate may have a big test coming up. 5 If your roommate is busy and stressed with their job，give them some time and space to relax and unwind.
A．You can discuss each of your preferences for privacy.
B．Spending time with your roommate is also important.
C．This is your best chance to set boundaries with your roommate.
D．Make sure that everyone is clear on the rules and responsibilities.
E．This is what you should know to respect your roommate’s privacy.
F．Then in this case you should probably be quiet and let them study.

1．答案 G

Paul O’Sullivan walked around his apartment in the US city of Baltimore one evening in 2014，feeling bored.Just for fun，he decided to try to find out how many other people on Facebook shared his name.Moments later，dozens of Paul O’Sullivans filled his screen and he sent friend requests to them all.
As Baltimore Paul looked through the profiles of the Paul O’Sullivans who accepted his invitation，he noticed something four of them had in common：They were all musicians.Baltimore Paul had an idea.He asked the other three musical Pauls if they’d like to form a band called The Paul O’Sullivans.They all agreed.
Starting a band across multiple time zones proved to be nettlesome.Fortunately，Manchester Paul，a 59-year-old former professional musician knew how to fix that.They would create a kind of musical assembly line including online sessions.
The Band released its first original song，“Namesake”， in March 2016.But just months after the song’s release，Baltimore Paul began experiencing health issues that forced him to take time off from making music.The other Pauls also decided to take a break from the band.But they didn’t press pause on their friendship.Instead，they made sure Baltimore Paul never felt alone，even with the long distances between them.They shared family pictures and chatted online.
Finally，after a four-year break，Baltimore Paul was well enough to start making music again.The first thing the band did was create a music video for “Namesake”，which has now been watched on YouTube more than 50,000 times.
“It has been a lovely journey that has lasted seven years so far.A four-stop international tour—one concert in each of our hometowns—would be great，” says Baltimore Paul.
“What are the odds，” he says，“that a random Facebook request would lead not only to new music but to lasting friendships as well？” “Some things are just meant to be.”
1．What inspired Baltimore Paul to form a band
A．His enthusiasm for music.
B．His dream of having an international tour.
C．Four Paul O’Sullivans all being musicians.
D．Friendship among the four Paul O’Sullivans.
2．What does the underlined word “nettlesome” in paragraph 3 mean
A．Easy. B．Disappointing. C．Troublesome. D．Interesting.
3．What can be learned from paragraph 4
A．It never rains but it pours. B．It’s never too late to mend.
C．One is never too old to learn. D．A friend in need is a friend indeed.
4．What’s the purpose of the text
A．To teach how to start a band. B．To introduce a band united by a name.

Are you a good judge of character？Can you make an accurate judgement of someone’s personality based only on your first impression of them？Interestingly，the answer lies as much in them as it does in you.
One of the first people to try to identify good judges of character was US psychologist Henry F Adams in 1927.His research led him to conclude that people fell into two groups—good judges of themselves and good judges of others.Adams’s research has been widely criticized since then，but he wasn’t entirely wrong about there being two clearly different types.
More on that in a moment，but first we need to define what a good judge of character is.Is it someone who can read personality or someone who can read emotion？Those are two different skills.Emotions such as anger or joy or sadness can generate easily identifiable physical signs.Most of us would probably be able to accurately identify these signs，even in a stranger.As such，most of us are probably good judges of emotion.
In order to be a good judge of personality，however，there needs to be an interaction with the other person，and that person needs to be a “good target”．“Good targets” are people who reveal relevant and useful signals to their personality.So this means “the good judge” will only manifest when reading “good targets”．This is according to Rogers and Biesanz in their 2019 journal entitled “Reassessing the good judge of personality”．“We found consistent，clear and strong evidence that the good judge does exist，” Rogers and Biesanz concluded.But their key finding is that the good judge does not have magical gifts of perception—they are simply able to “detect and use the information provided by the good target”．
So，are first impressions really accurate？Well，if you’re a good judge talking to a “good target”，then it seems the answer is “yes”．And now we know that good judges probably do exist，more research can be done into how they read personality，what kind of people they are—and whether their skills can be taught.
5．What can we learn about Adams from paragraph 2
A．He is a good judge of character.
B．He divided psychologists into two groups.
C．His research result has been widely accepted.
D．His research on good judges was partially right.
6．What does the author think of emotion reading
A．Annoying. B．Joyful. C．Simple. D．Strange.
7.Which of the following would Rogers and Biesanz agree with
A．A good target is necessary for personality judgement.
B．A good target needs to get his personality reassessed.
C．A good judge can provide useful signals to our personality.
D．It’s possible to be a good judge just by looking at the other person.
8．What does the author think future research should focus on
A．The skills of good communicators. B．The features of good judges.
C．The ways to read personality. D．The accuracy of first impressions.

Most of us take the task of buying a cup of coffee for granted，as it seems simple enough.However，we have no idea just how stressful tasks like this can be for people who suffer from disabilities.That’s why it’s so heart-warming to see a story like this in which a barista (咖啡师) does something small to make life a little easier for someone who is deaf.
Ibby Piracha lost his hearing when he was only two years old，and he now goes to his local cafe in Leesburg，Virginia to order a cup of coffee at least three times a week.Though all the baristas who work there have his order memorized，Ibby always writes his order on his phone and shows it to the barista.
One day，however，one of the baristas did something that changed everything! After Ibby ordered his coffee，he was amazed when barista Krystal Pane handed him a note in response.“I’ve been learning sign language just so you can have the same experience as everyone else，” the note read.Krystal then asked Ibby in sign language what he would like to order.
Ibby was touched that she would learn sign language just to help him feel welcome.“I was just so moved that she actually wanted to learn sign language.It is really a totally different language and it was something that she wanted to do because of me.Because I was a deaf customer.I was very，very impressed，” Ibby said.
Krystal had spent hours watching teaching videos so that she could learn enough sign language to give Ibby the best customer service that she could! “My job is to make sure people have the experience they expect and that’s what I gave him，” Krystal says.
Ibby posted a photo of Krystal’s note online，and it quickly went viral，getting hundreds of likes and comments that praised Krystal for her kind action.

We are all born social and company to live happy and fruitful life.Healthy and supportive mutual relationships help reduce stress and promote the physical，mental and emotional well-being by building skills like time management，assertiveness(坚定自信)，sociability and empathy.
Making friends has made me feel secure.However，I have to be cautious to pick up friends sharing similar tastes and values.In addition，having added to one’s circle of friends helps one feel supported.
It is true that finding time to cultivate relationships is all about effective time management.My busy uncle finds time to catch up with family and friends during his tea and lunch breaks.Similarly my friend Somya uses her time on her way back home from work in her chauffeur-driven car to catch up with people.The modern inventions of SMS and e-mail help send wishes for birthdays and anniversaries to show your love and care.
Assertiveness is as much applicable to relationships.My friend Mohana emphasizes that neither being a passive observer nor being aggressive helps relationships.It is assertiveness in our relationships that opens the lines of effective communication.It emphasizes helping friends in need and also strengthens mutually supportive relationships.
It is also true that assertiveness by intuition promotes discretion(自行决定权) of friends and helps Lalitha distinguish positive people from drains of energy.She can easily figure this out by the flow of the conversation，the way each feels understood，accepted and supported，and by how I feel，happy，bored or energized in the relationship.It also helps to know whether all benefit from each other’s positive aspects.
Handling stress in life is all about cultivating mutually supportive relationships and working on them.Manisha always says she feels great when sharing her feelings after a hard day with people who share similar ideas.Actually we all need someone who would not just hear us，but listen to us，and we need to cultivate the art of listening and understanding people.
5．How can a busy person develop their social relationships

B．What Is to Be Done for Applicable Relationships
C．How Can We Pick up Friends Supporting Us

(2024·江苏盐城联盟校调研)
In conversations with strangers，people commonly tend to think they should speak less than half the conversation time to be likable.But we’ve discovered this idea is wrong.Our data shows that people tend to think they should speak about 45% of the time to be likable in a one-on-one conversation with someone new.However，it appears speaking up a bit more is actually a better strategy.
In our research，we randomly assigned people to speak for 30%,40%,50%,60% of the time in a conversation with someone new.We found that the more they spoke，the more they were liked by their new partners.This was only one study with 116 participants，but the outcome is supported by other researchers’ findings.For example，a previous study randomly assigned one in a pair to take on the role of “speaker” and the other to take on the role of “listener”．After engaging in 12-minute interactions，listeners liked speakers more than speakers liked listeners because listeners felt more similar to speakers than speakers did to listeners.This outcome suggests the reason people prefer those who speak up：Learning more about a new partner can make you feel like you have more in common with him or her.
Further，we assigned people to speak for up to 70% and even 90% of the time.The result shows it is not an ideal strategy.Our research does not suggest people hold down a conversational partner but rather that they feel comfortable speaking up more than they usually might.
Research like ours can help people gain a more reasonable understanding of social interactions with new people and become more confident about how to make a good first impression.It has the obvious benefit of allowing us to carefully control speaking time.However，it does not reflect more natural conversations.Future research should figure out whether our findings generalize to more natural interactions.
9．What is the common belief concerning conversations with strangers
A．Speaking a little less is preferred.
B．Speaking half the time is the best.
C．Listeners are more likable than speakers.
D．Listeners fail to control the conversations.
10．How was the research carried out
A．By analyzing speaking habits. B．By making comparisons.
C．By listing examples. D．By collecting data.
11．What is the disadvantage of the research
A．The conversation time is limited. B．Further study is hard to continue.
C．The findings are less widely applicable. D．Interactions with strangers are missing.
12．In which situation can the research finding be applied
A．Attending a family gathering. B．Partying with your friends.
C．Meeting a new teacher. D．Making a public speech.

Living with other people can be difficult，especially when each person comes from a different background and has their own ideas about how they want to live.Though having a roommate can be challenging at times，it can also be enjoyable and fun. 1
You can discuss your expectations ahead of time.Get together before or on the first day you move in together and talk about what each of you needs and wants from the other. 2 This applies to finances，food，clothes，possessions，use of common areas and so on.
You should agree to respect each other’s privacy.This is especially important. 3 For instance，you may not mind if your roommate comes into your room unannounced，but they might find you to be very rude for doing so.You should talk about these kinds of things so that you know what to expect from each other.
4 Say hello and goodbye，ask them how their day was，and show interest in their life.Getting to know the person you live with helps you understand their perspective，and allows them to understand yours.It also makes it easier to deal with problems that you have with that person if you’ve already developed a harmonious relationship with them.
You can also be considerate of your roommate in your life.Understand what’s going on in your roommate’s life.You should aim to be flexible and accommodating.Your roommate may have a big test coming up. 5 If your roommate is busy and stressed with their job，give them some time and space to relax and unwind.
A．You can discuss each of your preferences for privacy.
B．Spending time with your roommate is also important.
C．This is your best chance to set boundaries with your roommate.
D．Make sure that everyone is clear on the rules and responsibilities.
