1.(2024秋 瀍河区校级期末)I was lucky to serve as a RA (resident assistant,宿舍协管员)for two years at Manhattanville College,which has students from more than 50 countries.I talked with a lot of students who had trouble living in a dorm room. (1)
Make your room as YOU as possible. (2) It's your HOME.Show your style.Put up the posters your mom never lets you put up at home.Do whatever you can to make your room a comfortable place so you'll feel right at home.
A clean room is a happy room.Cleanliness is important whether you share a room with one person or seven. (3) Thus,your room will be always clean.
Snack time is the best time.Some colleges have dining 24 hours a day,while others offer no food after midnight.Have snacks on hand because you'll get hungry during those late﹣night homework adventures.Try healthy snacks such as fruit and yogurt.(4) And remember the Freshman 15 doesn't apply(对……适用)only to freshmen.
(5) The key to getting along well with others is communication.If there's a problem,ALWAYS talk it out with your roommate first.If you still have problems after talking,turn to your RA for help.

2.(2024秋 城西区校级月考)When I was a little girl,every time my dad was repairing something,he would ask me to hold the hammer.And so we would have a time for a conversation.
I grew up and left home for college and since then,my dad had been calling me every Sunday morning.And when several years later I bought a house,my dad went to paint it by himself for three days in the summer heat.(1) But I was too busy in those days.I did not find any time for a conversation with him.
Four years ago,my dad was visiting me.He spent hours putting together a swing set(秋千)for my daughter.He asked to bring him a cup of tea and have a talk with him. (2) I didn't have time for any long conversations that day.
One Sunday morning we had a telephone talk as usual.I was in a hurry,so our conversation was short.(3) My dad was sent into hospital.Immediately I bought a ticket for a flight and on my way I was thinking about all missed occasions(时刻)to have a talk with him.By the time I arrived,my dad had passed away. (4) I realized how little I knew about my dad,his deepest thoughts and his dreams.
After his death I learned much more about him,and even more about myself.All he ever asked me was my time. (5)
A.A few hours later that day came a call.
B.But I had to prepare for a trip that weekend.
C.I never saw my dad drinking or taking a night out.

3.(2024秋 白云区校级月考)When you try too hard but you don't succeed;when despite all your efforts you don't get the results you need,give up and move on. (1) .Confused?What is wrong with giving up?
Oh yes,we all have been trained and conditioned to work hard to achieve our dreams,and that is a good thing.The problem arises when all these inspirational quotes start confusing us.These messages tell people not to give up,(2) .They tell one to "try and try again" until they succeed,but that amount of effort should only be put toward what you really want in life and one should never quit at what they think to be their life's purpose.(3) .If you do badly in playing the piano and you know it's because you don't even like the instrument,give it up.If no matter how hard you study you can hardly score an above average grade,don't worry,your talent lies somewhere else.Not everybody is an A student.
(4) .Find out what you are good at,what makes you happy and then work on it.If you do,no one would have to tell you or inspire you not to give up because when you love something,you keep trying until you get it right and the enthusiasm flows from your heart.Don't worry about what people will say or think.After all,it's your life.(5) .
A.Let go of your life goal and live in the moment
B.You have to live it and you have to be your own boss
C.Try to recognize your talent,your ability and your skills
D.and it proves that only efforts can make a big difference
E.Make timely adjustment and run in other directions
F.The rest is all just there to confuse and depress you,so don't let it
G.but they don't tell you that it should only apply to your true dreams
4.(2024秋 河南一模)People have been faced with illness,death,isolation(隔离) or job losses.(1) It's hard,but possible.Here are key strategies to cultivate(培养) hope in these trying times.
Start with goals.Hopeful people establish clear,achievable goals and make clear plans.They believe in their capacity,and recognize that their path will be marked by stresses,roadblocks and failures.(2) When their hopes are frustrated,they tend to become more focused on doing things to achieve their goals and think that desired goals are attainable even if personal resources are exhausted.
(3) People high on hope spent less time paying attention to emotionally sad or threatening information.In a world filled with options for what we read,watch and listen to,maintaining hope may not require us to go after positive information,but it does require that we avoid negative images and messages.
Seek community.(4) Connection to others allowed us to feel a sense of accountability,to recognize that our work mattered and that we were part of something bigger than ourselves.Health research suggests that sustaining (维持) hope depends partly on the particular company we keep.
Look at the evidence.(5) Hopeful people put their trust in data,particularly in the evidence of history.Cultivating and sustaining hope requires that we gather evidence from our own lives,history and the world at large and use that evidence to guide our plans,pathways and actions.
In sum,hope is about how we plan and act to achieve what we want.Hard as it is,see the hope and start to achieve it.
A.Manage your attention. B.Hope also requires trust. C.Further,hopeful people adapt. D.Hope is hard to sustain in isolation. E.How can we avoid these misfortunes? F.How do we find hope when times are tough? G.The journey of life starts from the set goal.
5.(2024秋 开封模拟)In some US states,gym class is changing.Many schools are focusing on getting students ready for life after high school.They are looking for ways to leave even the least athletic kids with the will and skills to keep moving.For gym teachers,that means less focus on who is best at a sport.It means less rope climbing and dodgeball(躲避球).(1)
A New Model
In one New York school district,there is no "gym" class.(2) They include dance,self﹣ defense and rock climbing.They include mountain biking,in﹣line skating,and boating.
"We want our kids…,to be active for life," said Ron Whitcomb.He manages the physical education,or PE,program for the Victor,New York,school district.
A US law passed in 2015 increased the importance of health and fitness in education.It also gave more funding(资金) to PE programs.
Whitcomb's program started before that law passed.(3) Connecticut,Vermont and Michigan are all planning to improve PE's place in their schools.
Outside the Gym
Tracy Krause teaches PE in Washington State.For a few years,she has taken students fly﹣fishing and rock climbing.(4) It combines PE,English,and science into one program. "We want kids to leave with a plan for the future," Krause said. "I think the same needs to be true about their health."
Lifelong Skills
In Washington,D.C,all second﹣graders learn to ride bikes.Fourth﹣ and seventh﹣graders learn parkour(跑酷).Parkour teaches students to jump,climb and roll in the fastest way they can.Sixth﹣ graders learn how to read a compass.High schoolers swim.(5)
Teachers hope to keep students liking,not hating,PE.That means finding sports or activities they enjoy.
A.They are also cutting back on team sports.
B.It means more bike riding and outdoor hikes.
C.Other schools are now following his program.
D.Instead there is a list of different fitness classes.
E.The school district's goal is to teach lifelong skills.
F.She is part of her school's "Outdoor Academy" program.
G.Kids who are not as athletic sometimes hate playing team sports.
6.(2024秋 海淀区校级月考)
The iPod Generation
Today it is common to see people who walk about with colored wires hanging from their ears wherever they go.They move about in their personal bubbles,sometimes unaware of what's happening around them.(1) Outside life is shut out.So are you one of "them"?
For me,walking around in my own personal bubble is perfect. (2) What's even better,wearing earphones seems to give a signal to people which says: "I'm not available for chatting at the moment."
Suppose you're at work and about to make an incredible breakthrough,but a colleague suddenly turns up.At this precise moment,the slightest disturbance would break your concentration. (3) Once again,those wires hanging from your ears would be sure to give that "Go away!" signal.
(4) It's probably part of the growing up stage when they just want to ignore their whole family.While their mothers give them lectures about why they should do their homework,they can just turn up the volume on their MP3 player,smile,and say "Yes,Mum." Problem solved.
Pretty soon,not only will we have pretty colored wires hanging from our ears﹣but also our brains will be directly plugged into some new high﹣tech instrument.We'll be in a virtual world,communicating with everyone else,or choosing not to,as we like.In this world,we will all be permanently plugged in. (5) And they are changing our social habits along the way.
In the end,there is a thin line between using technology as a tool for making life better and being a slave to it!It's so strange ﹣suddenly,I don't feel like wearing my earphones anymore.
A.Our instruments are changing quickly.
B.I also have wires hanging from my ears.
C.In the home situation,teenagers love these wires.
D.I don't have to deal with the noise from the environment.
E.After all,I am listening to my favourite music and would rather not be disturbed.
F.Listening to music through earphones is the perfect way to ignore such interruptions.
G.They walk around in their own spaces,with their personal "digital noise reduction systems."
7.There is such a rising interest in organic farming.Why is organic farming gaining such popularity?(1) .
Organic farming improves human health.
The most crucial factor in the popularity of organic farming is its health benefits.Organic produce is free from harmful chemicals and pesticides and therefore poses no health risk.(2) .Nutrition﹣rich organic food is extremely beneficial for human health.Numerous studies have also established the better quality of organic food over conventional products.
Organic farming benefits environment.
At a time when ecological concerns are becoming more serious,organic farming presents a good way to preserve the ecology and environment.(3) .Moreover,it also decreases the release of harmful gases like carbon dioxide responsible for global warming.
(4) .
Organic farming not only helps preserve more natural habitat areas but also encourages birds and other natural predators to live happily on farmland,which assists in natural pest control.Additionally,animals who live on organic farms are exposed to clean,chemical﹣free feeding that helps keep them naturally healthy and resistant to illness.
Organic farming builds soil health.
At the core of organic farming is the production methods that do not rely on chemical inputs to increase yield.(5) .By cutting the use of chemicals,organic farming aims to improve the overall health of the soil.Organic fertilizers not only improve the water preservation quality of the soil,but they also increase the natural fertility of the soil.
A.Organic farming makes biodiversity
B.Organic farming promotes creatures' health
C.Harmful chemicals reduce the quality of the soil
D.You can understand the reason once you know about the benefits of it
E.This practice helps prevent nitrogen(氮气)losses to the atmosphere
F.There are many things we can do to benefit the ecology and environment
G.Besides,depending on organic ways to produce crops also preserves the nutrients
8.Words have the power to build us up or tear us apart.It doesn't matter if the words come from ourselves or someone else.The positive and negative effects are just as lasting.
(1) We're usually too embarrassed to admit it,though.In fact,we really shouldn't be because more and more experts believe talking to ourselves out loud is a healthy habit.This "self﹣talk" helps us motivate ourselves,remember things,solve problems,and calm ourselves down.Be aware,though,that as much as 77% of self﹣talk tends to be negative.(2)
Often,words come out of our mouths without thinking about the effect they will have.But we should be aware that our words cause certain responses in others.For example,when returning an item to a store,we might use warm,friendly language during the exchange.And the clerk will probably respond in a similar manner.(3)
Words possess power because of their lasting effect.Many of us regret something we once said.We remember unkind words said to us as well.Before speaking,we should always ask ourselves:(4) If what we want to say doesn't pass this test,then it's better left unsaid.
Words possess power:both positive and negative.Those around us receive encouragement when we speak positively.We can offer hope,build self﹣esteem and motivate others to do their best.(5) Will we use our words to hurt or to heal?The choice is ours.
A.Is it loving?
B.How should I say it?
C.We all talk to ourselves sometimes.
D.Negative words destroy all those things.
E.Generally people like positive and pleasant words.
F.However,critical language may cause anger and defense.
G.So we should only speak encouraging words to ourselves.
9.
Reactions to Disappointment
No one gets through life without experiencing many disappointments. (1) They tend to react to it in negative ways.They feel depressed(意志消沉的) or try pe their troubles instead of using disappoint as an opportunity for growth.
One negative reaction to disappointment is depression.For example,Helen,a woman trying to win promotion,works hard for over a year in her department.(2) Deeply depressed,Helen loses her enthusiasm for her job.
(3) Jamal fails to get into the college his brother is attending,the college that was the focus of all his dreams,and decides to escape his disappointment.He covers up his real feelings by giving up on his schoolwork and getting completely involved with friends,parties,and "good times".
The positive way to react to disappointment is to use it as a chance for growth.This isn't easy,but it's the only useful way to deal with an unavoidable part of life.(4) If her boss doesn't recognize her talent and hard work,perhaps she could transfer to another department.Or she could ask the boss how to improve her performance so that she would be sure to get the next promotion.(5) Going to another college may encourage him to be his own person,out of his brother's shadow,and realize that being turned down by one college isn't a final judgment on his abilities or potential.
Disappointments are unwelcome but regular visitors to everyone's life.Step over the unwelcome visitor on the doorstep and get on with life.
A.Jamal should look into other schools.
B.Instead,Jamal doesn't worry about college at all.
C.However,the boss names one of Helen's co﹣workers for the spot.
D.Another negative reaction to disappointment is the desire to escape.
E.Strangely,though,most people seem unprepared for disappointment.
F.Helen could have handled her disappointment by looking at other options.
G.All the other employees tell Helen she is the one who deserves the promotion.
10.Much meaning can be conveyed clearly with our eyes,so it is often said that eyes can speak.
Do you have such kind of experience?(1) ,but not too long.And if he senses that he is being stared at,he may feel uncomfortable.
(2) If you are looked at for more than necessary,you will look at yourself up and down to see if there is anything wrong with you.If nothing goes wrong,you will feel angry toward others' stare at you that way.Eyes do speak,right?
(3) But things are different when it comes to staring at the opposite sex.If a man glances at a woman for more than 10 seconds,his intention is obvious,that is,he wishes to attract her attention to make her understand that he admires her.In fact,continuous eye contact occurs between lovers only,who will enjoy looking at each other tenderly for a long time to show affection that words cannot express.
However,the normal eye contact for two people engaged in conversation is that the speaker will only look at the listener from time to time,in order to make sure that the listener is attentive.(4) ,as if he tries to control you,you will feel uncomfortable.A poor liar usually exposes himself by looking too long at the victim,since he believes in the false idea that to look straight in the eye is a sign of honest communication.(5) .
Evidently,eye contact should be done according to the relationship between two people and the specific situation.
A.Quite the contrary
B.The same is happening in daily life
C.On a bus you may look at a stranger
D.Looking too long at someone may seem to be rude
E.This shows the listener is interested in your speech
F.If a speaker looks at you continuously when speaking
G.Sometimes it doesn't matter to look at someone too long
11.Body language provides a lot of information on what other people are thinking.A research has shown that 55% of communication comes from body language. (1) Next time you're in a meeting,watch for these cues(暗示):
Real smiles crinkle(使起皱纹)the eyes.When it comes to smiling,the mouth can lie but the eyes can't.Real smiles reach the eyes,crinkling the skin to create crow's feet around them.People often smile to hide what they're really thinking and feeling,so the next time you want to know if someone's smile is real,look for crinkles at the corners of their eyes. (2)
(3) Have you ever been in a meeting with someone and noticed that every time you cross or uncross your legs,they do the same?Or perhaps they lean their head the same way as yours when you're talking?That's actually a good sign.It means that the conversation is going well and that the other party accepts your message.
Eyes that lie.Most of us believe that it's difficult to hold someone's gaze(凝视)when they're lying.But that's such common knowledge that people will often try to hold eye contact,hoping to cover up the fact that they're lying. (4) If you're talking with someone whose gaze is making you uncomfortable,something is up and they might be lying to you.
Even if you can't read a person's exact thoughts,you can learn a lot from their body language. (5)
A.Copying your body language is a good thing.
B.If they aren't there,that smile is hiding something.
C.Good sings lead to good conversations in a meeting.
D.You'll have to find out how long they have looked at you.
E.Learning how to understand that 55% can give you a lot of help.
F.That's especially true when words and body language don't match.
G.The problem is that most of them will hold eye contact until it feels uncomfortable.
12.When you're meeting someone for the first time,you're eager to make good impression.Your body language can make great difference.
★Shake hands firmly
Weak handshakes can make you seem shy and anything but confident.(1) .You won't impress anyone by giving them a painful hand.
★(2)
Stand up straight,but don't tighten,or you may look nervous.Be sure to check your posture and straighten up as needed.
★Keep a suitable amount of eye contact
(3) .Not only are you paying attention,but you're interested as well.Whenever there is a natural pause in the conversation,feel free to casually glance at something else.Eye contact is good,but nonstop staring can be a little unsettling!
★Nod and smile when appropriate
Try nodding three times to show that you're really absorbing what he is saying. (4) !If you turn up the corners of your mouth but your eyes remain neutral(不带感彩的),you could leave bad impression.
★Laugh genuinely
Even if you're in a formal setting,if he has clearly said something that was intended to encourage a laugh,laugh!Show him that you have a sense of humor,and you're listening to what he is saying. (5) ,laughter is a great way to help you look cheerful.
A.Keep your posture relaxed
B.Keep your feet close together
C.This applies to both sitting and standing
D.If you're in a state of anxiety or tension
E.Your handshake should be firm but not too tight
F.It is important to keep eye contact in a conversation
G.When it comes to smiling,make sure it reaches your eyes
13.It's natural to greet friends with a smile and a wave.When you do this,your face and body work together to show your friends that you're happy to see them. (1) Would someone be more likely to believe the look on your face or the way you hold your body?
(2) They found that when a person is looking at your face,she might not believe what she sees if your body language doesn't match the feeling that your face shows.
(3) Previously,they had found that the tone of a person's voice can be more important than the words that are spoken.For example,most people tend not to believe a person who says in a flat voice, "I'm so excited."
When it came to emotions conveyed by facial expressions and body language,most scientists suspected that the face was more important.To test if this was true,psychologists from the Netherlands and Boston showed people a number of pictures of isolated(孤立的)faces and isolated bodies (with faces blurred out) that showed anger or fear.They also showed pictures in which angry or scared faces were paired with angry or scared bodies.
(4) A scared face had high eyebrow and a slightly open mouth.An angry body had arms back and shoulders at an angle,as if ready to fight.A scared body had arms forward and shoulders square,as if ready to defend.
These results told the researchers that mixed signals can confuse people.Even when people pay attention to the face,body language subtly (微妙地)influences which emotion they read.
So,your body language is important for telling people how you feel.(5)
A.An angry face had low eyebrows and tight lips. B.Scientists have recently tackled these questions. C.Studying such mixed messages is nothing new for scientists. D.But what happens if your face and body send mixed messages? E.Scientists feel new to study the mixed message that confuses people. F.If you want to be understood,it helps to avoid sending mixed messages. G.Body language can sometimes be misunderstood in different culture back﹣ grounds.
14.Rock music consists of many different styles.Even though there is a common spirit among all musicgroups,they make very different music. (1) .At that time the Beatles entered the world of music from Liverpool.
After they were given an invitation to appear live on BBC,the Beatles quickly became famous in Britain with nationwide tours.By mid﹣1963,the Beatles had been extremely popular in England. (2) .They held large concerts and performed at clubs.They became the hottest thing on the pop music scene in England.They began as a modestly successful musician group and ended the year as show business legends(传说).John Lennon and Paul McCartney were named composers of the year.
(3) .They were not sure how the Americans would react to the new type of music.Beatlemania hit New York on February 7,1964.Hundreds of fans jammed the airport to greet them.(4) .The concert was broadcast live and attracted the largest one night audience in the history of television up to that time.The Beatles were described as a British invasion(入侵)by local and nationwide newspapers at that time.Their victory in America was still remembered as a major turning point in the history of rock and roll.Thanks to the Beatles,a lot of opportunities were opened up to new faces on the market. (5) .
A.They decided on a tour to the United States in 1964.
B.Even their hairstyles became major trends at that time.
C.Rock music developed in the 1950s and the early 1960s.
D.However,their songs changed the lives of generations to come.
E.Many rock bands were able to follow in the footsteps of the Beatles.
F.They appeared in the films A Hard Day's Night (1964)and Help!(1965).
G.They performed their first concert in America at CBS television's 53rd street studio.
15.When choosing your dream career,it is important that you first know yourself well.The best way to begin is through self﹣exploration which will allow you to uncover more about your personal interests,skills,personality,and values.(1)
Interests are important considerations when choosing a career.By focusing on your interests,you can determine which career options would provide you with the highest satisfaction and a sense of enjoyment.(2) Job satisfaction contributes to a positive attitude at work,which in turn will affect your chances of gaining success in your career.
The next thing you have to consider is the skills you own. (3) These skills can be either hard or soft skills.And you need to determine which of those skills are transferable(可转移的).Transferable skills are not specific to one job,so you can apply them to a variety of different jobs.Having the right skill set is the key that opens a whole new field of career possibilities for you.You may even be surprised at the number of career options that are a good fit with the skills you currently have.
(4) You will need to assess(评定)your individual personality,motivational drive,needs and attitudes to find a career that has the best fit with your personality.For example,a salesperson generally needs to be naturally outgoing.
Another important element(要素) to consider in your decision when choosing a dream career is your values.(5) And the scale of your values is based on your attitudes and beliefs about what is important in life.
A.Values are linked to your beliefs.
B.What are the things you are good at?
C.Interests are also important for your choice.
D.Choosing a dream career will have an influence on your skills.
E.If you enjoy your job,you will be more motivated to do your job well.
F.One or more of these elements may have a great influence on your choice of careers.
G.It is equally important that you take your personality into account when choosing your dream career.

Look at the evidence.(5) B Hopeful people put their trust in data,particularly in the evidence of history.Cultivating and sustaining hope requires that we gather evidence from our own lives,history and the world at large and use that evidence to guide our plans,pathways and actions.
In sum,hope is about how we plan and act to achieve what we want.Hard as it is,see the hope and start to achieve it.
A.Manage your attention. B.Hope also requires trust. C.Further,hopeful people adapt. D.Hope is hard to sustain in isolation. E.How can we avoid these misfortunes? F.How do we find hope when times are tough? G.The journey of life starts from the set goal.
【答案】FCADB
【分析】本文是一篇说明文,主要讲的是在艰难时期培养希望的关键策略。
【解答】(1)F.推理判断题。空格处前面讲"People have been faced with illness,death,isolation (隔离) or job losses."人们面临疾病、死亡、隔离、或失业。空格处后边说," It's hard,but possible "这很难,但可能。所以空格处应该指出 it指代的内容。再联系下一句"Here are key strategies to cultivate (培养) hope in these trying times."以下是在这些艰难时期培养(培养)希望的关键策略可知,空格处意为"我们如何在困难时期找到希望?"起到承上启下的作用。故选F项。
(2)C.推理判断题。空格处前面讲"Start with goals.Hopeful people establish clear,achievable goals and make clear plans.They believe in their capacity,and recognize that their path will be marked by stresses.roadblocks and failures."有希望的人建立明确的,可实现的目标,并制定明确的计划。他们相信自己的能力,并认识到他们的道路将以压力、障碍和失败为标志。空格处后面讲"When their hopes are frustrated,they tend to become more focused on doing things to achieve their goals and think that desired goals are attainable even if personal resources are exhausted."当他们的希望受挫时,他们往往会更加专注于做事情来实现他们的目标,并认为即使个人资源耗尽,理想的目标也是可以实现的。空格处应该承接上下文,根据意思对应 C 选项:更进一步,充满希望的人们会适应。adapt呼应they tend to become more focused on doing things to achieve their goals。故选C项。
(3)A.标题归纳题。。根据空格处所在位置和文章结构分析,空格处应该是本段的主题句。根据句意"People high on hope spent less time paying attention to emotionally sad or threatening information.In a world filled with options for what we read,watch and listen to maintaining hope may not require us to go after positive information,but it does require that we avoid negative images and messages."充满希望的人很少花时间关注情绪上的悲伤或威胁信息。在一个充满了我们阅读、观看和聆听的选择的世界里,保持希望可能不需要我们去追求积极的信息,但它确实要求我们避免消极的图像和信息"可知,本段讲注意力管控的,所以选项 A"控制你的注意力"符合题意。故选A项。
(4)D.推理判断题。本段主题是寻求社区。空格处后面讲" Connection to others allowed us to feel a sense of accountability,to recognize that our work mattered and that we were part of something bigger than ourselves."与他人的联系使我们感觉到一种责任感,认识到我们的工作很重要,我们是比自己更重要的事情的一部分。由此可知,本段主要讲维持希望需要与他人建立联系并保持陪伴。所以选项在说明在孤立的情况下的状态。故D选项"在孤立的情况下很难保持希望"。故选D项。
(5)B.推理判断题。空格处后面讲"Hopeful people put their trust in data,particularly in the evidence of history."充满希望的人相信数据,特别是历史的证据。所以选项出承接下文,requires trust呼应put their trust in data。故B选项"希望也要求信任"切题。故选B项。

The iPod Generation
Today it is common to see people who walk about with colored wires hanging from their ears wherever they go.They move about in their personal bubbles,sometimes unaware of what's happening around them.(1) G Outside life is shut out.So are you one of "them"?
For me,walking around in my own personal bubble is perfect. (2) D What's even better,wearing earphones seems to give a signal to people which says: "I'm not available for chatting at the moment."
Suppose you're at work and about to make an incredible breakthrough,but a colleague suddenly turns up.At this precise moment,the slightest disturbance would break your concentration. (3) F Once again,those wires hanging from your ears would be sure to give that "Go away!" signal.
(4) C It's probably part of the growing up stage when they just want to ignore their whole family.While their mothers give them lectures about why they should do their homework,they can just turn up the volume on their MP3 player,smile,and say "Yes,Mum." Problem solved.
Pretty soon,not only will we have pretty colored wires hanging from our ears﹣but also our brains will be directly plugged into some new high﹣tech instrument.We'll be in a virtual world,communicating with everyone else,or choosing not to,as we like.In this world,we will all be permanently plugged in. (5) A And they are changing our social habits along the way.
In the end,there is a thin line between using technology as a tool for making life better and being a slave to it!It's so strange ﹣suddenly,I don't feel like wearing my earphones anymore.
A.Our instruments are changing quickly.
B.I also have wires hanging from my ears.
C.In the home situation,teenagers love these wires.
D.I don't have to deal with the noise from the environment.
E.After all,I am listening to my favourite music and would rather not be disturbed.

【解答】(1)G.推理判断题。根据空格前一句They move about in their personal bubbles,sometimes unaware of what's happening around them.可知,人们塞着耳机,沉浸在自己的世界里,有时甚至意识不到外界发生的事情,以及空格后一句提到"外界环境是被关闭的",G项They walk around in their own space,with their personal "digital noise reduction systems".承上启下。故选G.
(2)D.细节理解题。根据后文What's even better,wearing earphones seems to give a signal to people which says, "I'm not available for chatting at the moment!"可知,作者认为在自己的世界中生活是很不错的,戴着耳机对于别人来说是一个信号,告诉他们现在自己不想讲话。What's even better表明设空处与后一句都说明戴耳机的好处。D项I don't have to deal with the noise from the environment.符合语境。故选D.
(3)F.联系上文题。根据前文At this precise moment,the slightest disturbance would break your concentration.可知,就在此时此刻,一点小小的干扰都会使你注意力不集中。再根据后一句Once again,those wires hanging from your ears would be sure to give that "Go away!" signal.可知,你耳朵上的耳机会给周围的人"走开,请勿打扰"的暗示。设空处与后一句都说明耳机在免被打扰方面所起的作用。F项Listening to music through earphones is the perfect way to ignore such interruptions.符合语境。故选F.
(4)C.联系下文题。根据后一句It's probably part of the growing up stage when they just want to overlook their whole family.可知,这可能是成长阶段的一部分,在这个阶段他们只想忽略他们的整个家庭。所以这一段主要讲青少年在家里戴耳机的原因。C项In the home situation,teenagers love these wires.符合语境。故选C.

8.Words have the power to build us up or tear us apart.It doesn't matter if the words come from ourselves or someone else.The positive and negative effects are just as lasting.
(1) C We're usually too embarrassed to admit it,though.In fact,we really shouldn't be because more and more experts believe talking to ourselves out loud is a healthy habit.This "self﹣talk" helps us motivate ourselves,remember things,solve problems,and calm ourselves down.Be aware,though,that as much as 77% of self﹣talk tends to be negative.(2) G
Often,words come out of our mouths without thinking about the effect they will have.But we should be aware that our words cause certain responses in others.For example,when returning an item to a store,we might use warm,friendly language during the exchange.And the clerk will probably respond in a similar manner.(3) F
Words possess power because of their lasting effect.Many of us regret something we once said.We remember unkind words said to us as well.Before speaking,we should always ask ourselves:(4) A If what we want to say doesn't pass this test,then it's better left unsaid.
Words possess power:both positive and negative.Those around us receive encouragement when we speak positively.We can offer hope,build self﹣esteem and motivate others to do their best.(5) D Will we use our words to hurt or to heal?The choice is ours.
A.Is it loving?
B.How should I say it?
C.We all talk to ourselves sometimes.
