I was the only kid in college with a reason to go to the mailbox, because my mother never believed in email, or cell phones in general. I was literally waiting to get a letter to see how the weekend had gone, which was usually the warmest comfort for me.
So when I moved to New York and got sucker-punched in the face by depression, I did the only thing I could think of—writing letters like my mother for strangers. I blogged about those letters and crazily promised I would write a hand-written letter to whoever asked me to.
Overnight, my inbox became this harbor of heartbreak—a single mother in Sacramento, a girl being bullied in rural Kansas, all asking me to write them a letter and give them a reason to wait by the mailbox. And this is how the act The World Needs More Love Letters was born, fueled by those trips to the mailbox. But the thing about these letters is that most of them have been written by people, who have grown up into a paperless world where some best conversations happen swiftly on a screen.
I’ve been carrying this mail crate (大木箱) with me these days, which is a magical icebreaker. So I get to tell total strangers about a woman whose husband was traumatized (受精神创伤) from war in Afghanistan, and how she left love letters throughout the house as a way to say, “Come back to me. ” And the man, who had decided to take his life, tonight slept safely with letters just beneath his pillow, handwritten by strangers who were there for him.
These are the kinds of stories that convince me that letter-writing will always be needed, even in these days, because it is an art now, all of it: the signing, the scripting, and the mailing.

A. The author didn’t believe in email.
B. Mom had been cheated by letters from strangers.
C. Communicating by writing letters was Mom’s favorite.

2.What inspired the author to launch the act
A. The letters’ comforting effect on people.
B. Her intention of providing professional aid.
C. Her mother’s fear of modern communication.
D. The positive influence of modern technology.
3.Why does the author call the mail crate “a magical icebreaker”
A. It melts ice easily on a cold day.
B. It serves as a tool for magic tricks.
C. It encourages people to recover from traumas.
D. It helps to start a conversation with passers-by.
4.What can be a suitable title for the text

·More isn’t always merrier
Make sure you have communicated with your friend about how frequently each of you wants to be contacted and what method works best for you both. 2 . There are alternatives to constant written communication, such as leaving voice messages or having a group chat.
·Practise empathy (共情)
3 . The friend who is remaining needs to be sensitive to all the additional time demands placed on the friend who has moved. The one in the new environment should be sympathetic to the fact that your friend may feel abandoned.
· 4
Anniversaries and birthdays carry even more weight in long-distance friendships. Although technology might make day-to-day communication possible, extra effort goes a long way on special days. Simply keeping a diary that keeps track of friends’ birthdays and other important dates will make sure nothing slips by you.
·Don’t rely on technology alone
5 , but long-distance friendships—even close ones—may require more conscious effort to sustain. Try to seek out chances to renew friendships. How to do it Just spend face-to-face time together whenever possible.
A. Remember important dates

作者发起了世界需要更多的情书的活动,讲述了自己通过写信安慰陌生人的故事。
1.D 细节理解题。由第一段可知,作者是大学里唯一一个有理由去邮箱的孩子,因为作者母亲从来不相信电子邮件,也不相信手机。作者等着收信,这对作者来说通常是最温暖的安慰。由此可知作者很喜欢收到妈妈的来信,故选D。
2.A 推理判断题。根据第一段最后一句“我真的在等着收到一封信,看看周末过得怎么样,这对我来说通常是最温暖的安慰”和第三段的描述“我的收件箱变成了心碎的港湾——一个萨克拉门托的单身母亲,一个堪萨斯州农村被欺负的女孩……,都要求我给他们写信,给他们一个在邮箱旁等待的理由。这就是‘世界需要更多的情书’这一活动的诞生,正是这些信件的旅程推动了这一活动的发展。”由此可知,书信对人的安慰作用激发了作者发起这项行动,故选A。
3.D 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段可知, 这些天作者一直带着这个邮件箱,这是一个神奇的破冰器。作者开始向陌生人讲述一个女人的故事,她的丈夫在阿富汗战争中受到了精神创伤,她如何在家里到处留下情书,以一种方式说:“回到我身边。”由此可知,作者称邮件箱为“神奇的破冰器”是因为它帮助作者和陌生人攀谈,故选D。
4.C 标题归纳题。通读全文,特别是根据第一段的“I was literally waiting to get a letter to see how the weekend had gone,which was usually the warmest comfort for me. (我真的在等着收到一封信,看看周末过得怎么样,这对我来说通常是最温暖的安慰)”,第三段的“And this is how the act The World Needs More Love Letters was born,fueled by those trips to the mailbox (这就是‘世界需要更多的情书’这一活动的诞生,正是这些信件的旅程推动了这一活动的发展)”和倒数第二段的“I’ve been carrying this mail crate(大木箱) with me these days,which is a magical icebreaker(这些天我一直带着这个邮件箱,这是一个神奇的破冰器)”可知,本文作者讲述了自己通过写信安慰陌生人的故事,故C. Love Letters to Strangers(写给陌生人的情书)符合本文主题,适合作为本文标题,故选C。
七选五
本文主要介绍了维持远距离友谊的五种方法:设定一个固定日期;确保合适的交流方式及频率;练习共情;记住朋友之间的重要日子;不要只依赖技术。
1.D 设空前讲在繁忙的日程中挤时间打电话是一种挑战,再结合段落小标题“设定固定日期”可知,D项(尽力找到一个适合双方的时间并坚持)承接上文,且其中的find a time和stick to it与段落小标题相呼应,符合语境。
2.E 设空前讲你要和朋友沟通好交流的频率和方法,设空处下文列举了具体的交流方式。设空处应承上启下,与“沟通方式”有关。E项(朋友需要沟通他们更喜欢的交流方式)承上启下,其中的methods of communication与上文中的communicated和method相呼应,符合语境。
3.G 根据本段小标题“练习共情”和空后内容可推知,本段主要讲留下来的朋友和去了新环境的朋友分别后如何共情。G项(你可能是那个离开的朋友或者是留下来的朋友)分别对应下文中的两类人,引出下文,符合语境。
4.A 根据语境可知,本段主要讲周年纪念日和生日等特殊日期很重要,要特别花心思过好这些重要日子,故A项(记住重要日子)适合作本段小标题。
5.F 根据本段小标题“不要只依赖技术”和空后“但是远距离的友谊,甚至近距离的,可能需要更多有意识的努力去维持”可知,本段主要讲不要只依靠技术来维持友谊。设空后出现了but,说明此处与下文是转折关系。F项(通过社交媒体你很容易产生联结感)可与空后内容构成转折且呼应小标题,符合语境。
长难句分析:
句意:留下来的朋友需要对已经离开的朋友提出的所有的额外时间要求保持敏感。
积
重点词 ①renew/r nju / v.重新开始 ②compensate / k mpense t/ v.补偿;弥补
派生词 connectedness (connected+-ness) n.相关感;归属感
熟词 生义 slip v.被遗忘
语块 ①carry weight有分量;有影响 ②go a long way作用很大 ③a sense of connectedness归属感 ④squeeze in挤出时间见某人(或做某事)
语法填空
Alwan在自家经营的便利店中发起了“Bodega Challenge”活动,顾客回答正确数学题后有五秒钟的时间在店内免费拿取商品。这家位于布朗克斯区的便利店帮助“食品荒地”的居民获得健康食品。通过这个活动,他们送出糖果和健康食品,受到社区居民欢迎。
1.shelves 考查名词的数。此处指商店的架子,表泛指,应用复数名词,填shelves。
2.for 考查介词。此处指“为幸福和早饭而拼搏努力”,应用动词短语struggle for,故填介词for。
3.to brighten 考查非谓语动词。此处指“……的方法”,应用不定式作后置定语,填to brighten。
4.is located 考查谓语动词。此处指客观事实,应用一般现在时, be located on “位于”,故填is located。
5.where 考查定语从句。该句是非限制性定语从句, 先行词是the Bronx, 指地点, 从句中缺少地点状语,故用关系副词where引导定语从句。
6.an 考查冠词。此处泛指答案,应用不定冠词, answer是读音以元音音素开始的单词,故填an。
7.usually 考查词形转换。空处修饰谓语happens作状语,填副词usually。
8.thinking 考查非谓语动词。本句已有谓语, 空处填非谓语, others与think为逻辑上的主谓关系,故用现在分词形式作状语,填thinking。
9.competitive 考查词形转换。空处作定语,修饰名词places,应用形容词,填competitive。
