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 neighbours 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.
1.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.
2.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.
3.Which of the following best describes Gresty and Henderson’s reunion?( )
A.Unexpected. B.Resultless.
C.Long-planned. D.Well-organized.
4.What did Gresty and Henderson promise to do next?( )
A.Keep in touch. B.Travel abroad.
C.Post their stories. D.Make more friends.

When you are a kid, gaining a best friend forever can happen in a single play date. But when you grow up to be an adult, making and maintaining friendships gets harder. So how much quality time (优质时光) do you need before that stranger becomes your friend? A study recently found that, on average, it takes about 50 hours with someone before you consider them a casual (感情不深的) friend, about 90 hours before you become real friends, and about 200 hours to become close friends.
The study’s author Jeffrey Hall, a communications professor, invited adults who are eager to make friends to take part in two experiments — people who had just moved to a new city in the past six months and college freshmen. He asked them to rate and track the degree of closeness and time spent together with a new person. “Results suggest that the chance of changing from casual friend to real friend is greater than 50% after around 80-100 hours together,” said Hall.
The study found that the amount of time spent talking together, or the fact that you spent time at school or work with them, was unrelated to friendship closeness. “It is really easy to spend a lot of time with people as they are routinely in the same place at the same time as you,” Hall said. “However, my study shows you can have workmates you spend hundreds and hundreds of hours with and still not develop a friendship.”
You do not need to become best friends with your workmates to develop meaningful relationships with them. But for those of us hoping to change from “girl who I eat lunch at work with” to “friend I can depend on”, Hall suggests that you need to take the relationship out of the workplace for it to become a friendship. The participants who did activities outside of work with someone, such as being invited to have lunch in their home, were more likely to develop deeper relationships with them.
5.What is the study mainly about?( )
A.Ways of making friends in a new environment.
B.Why people need to make different friends.
C.Different levels of friendship.
D.How long it takes to develop a friendship.
6.What do we know about the participants in the study?( )
A.They knew each other before.
B.They had difficulty in making new friends.
C.They were in great need of friends.
D.They started their new life in the same city.
7.What does the underlined word “routinely” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?( )
A.Usually. B.Actively.
C.Seldom. D.Confidently.
8.Which can help people build deeper relationships with workmates according to Hall?( )
A.Joining the same work team.
B.Having lunch at work with them.
C.Inviting them to your home after work.
D.Sharing work experience with each other.
C
Hundreds of friends on Facebook can’t replace a handful of close friends in real life, a study has found.In a recent study, researchers discovered that people with only a few friends were at least as happy as those with far more if many of theirs were online.
Social media, the researchers said, has encouraged younger people to have larger but more impersonal networks of “friends”.But instead of trying to amass friends, they added, a better cure for loneliness might be spending time with those you’re closest to.
Scientists from the University of Leeds did their study using data from two online surveys on 1,496 people by a non-profit research organization.People taking part in the study showed their ages, the make-up of their social networks, how often they had different types of social interactions, and their own feelings of well-being.They included details of how often and how they interacted with families or neighbors, and whether they included people who provided services to them in their networks.
The number of close friends someone had appeared to be the only thing which influenced how satisfied they were with their social life.
“Loneliness has less to do with the number of friends you have, and more to do with how you feel about your friends,” said Dr W ndi Bruine de Bruin.Actually, it’s often the younger adults who admit to having a bad opinion of their friends.
If you feel lonely, it may be more helpful to make a positive connection with a friend than to try and seek out new people to meet.
9.Which of the following can replace the underlined word “amass” in Paragraph 2?( )
A.play the role of
B.think highly of
C.take advantage of
D.increase the number of
10.What can be learned from the scientists’ study?( )
A.Scientists did one online survey on 1,496 people.
B.People surveyed mentioned new forms of social networks.
C.People surveyed showed their ways to interact with families.
D.The number of friends was the only cause of people’s happiness.
11.What makes people happy in social life?( )
A.Living alone. B.Having close friends.
C.Having good appearance. D.Making as many friends as possible.
12.What’s the author’s purpose in writing the text?( )
A.To advise us to make friends online.
B.To show us the importance of friends.
C.To present us with the findings of a study.
D.To tell us the problems caused by loneliness.
Ⅱ.阅读七选五
People disagree about meaningful and small matters on a daily basis. Sometimes you know if you speak your mind you will upset someone. However, you often must express your opinion even if you know others will disagree. By choosing your words carefully you can avoid long-term offense (冒犯).
·Ask people about their perspective (观点). Before being honest about how you feel, it’s important to know their perspective. This gives you a chance to show genuine interest and have a conversation.13.( ) They may even end their explanation with a request to hear your perspective.
·Put yourself in their shoes. One of the simplest ways to avoid hurting feelings is to imagine how they will respond to your statements.14.( ) Practise imagining how they view their own opinion and yours. Just because their perspective is different doesn’t mean it’s wrong.
·15.( ) Be careful with your honesty. You want to speak the truth in kindness. That means avoiding obvious negative behaviors such as making a face or making fun of their ideas.
·Be polite in your responses. Whenever you try to avoid hurting others, it is best to speak with kindness. Simple acts of kindness can make a big difference. They convey respect and show that you value the other person. This situation isn’t all about you speaking your mind.16.( )
·Express your perspective as opinion, not fact. This shows you value their perspective, even if you know the facts back you up. If they have an open mind, facts will change their perspective. If they do not have an open mind, facts will feel like personal attacks.17.( ) Allow them to discover the truth in their own way, not yours.
A.They have a right to be incorrect.
B.It’s about them feeling valued.
C.Control your words and body language.
D.If they said that to you, would you be upset?
E.Listening to others’ opinion is a very powerful way.
F.Use facts and try to avoid letting your emotions run high.
G.This may also give you opportunities to speak up and be honest.

10.B 细节理解题。根据第三段中的They found that both forms ...they communicated via text.可知,根据这项研究,打电话比发电子邮件有优势是因为它拉近了人们的距离。
11.A 细节理解题。根据第四段中的as they can organize information ...by the other person可知,人们认为发短信很方便是因为他们可以在不被打扰的情况下把自己的意思表达清楚。

语篇解读:本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了父母应该告诉青少年关于友情的一些事情。
13.G 上文指出家长不能操控青少年的友情,下文介绍了父母应该告诉青少年关于友情的一些事情。由此可知,设空处与上文内容形成转折关系,且与家长和孩子就交友方面进行沟通有关,故G项符合语境。G项中的they指代上文中的Parents, their teens呼应上文中的their teenagers, friendship呼应上文中的friends和friendships。
14.F 本部分指出友情是一种真实的联系。F项与空前一句对这种真实的联系作出了解释:让青少年开诚布公地说出自己的感受,且不用担心被评价。F项中的they指代上文中的teenagers, do so指代上文中的speak honestly and openly about how they are feeling。
15.B B项(并不是所有的青少年友情都能天长地久)呼应本部分小标题Friendships Change,符合语境。B项中的teen, friendships, last与下文中的teens, Friendships, last是原词复现关系。
16.E 本部分指出青少年之间有矛盾很正常,青少年的友情可以帮助他们学会如何化解矛盾、谅解对方。由此可知,即使青少年之间有了争执,也并不意味着友情会结束,故E项符合语境。E项中的that指代上文中的have fights and disagreements。
17.D 本段是全文总结段,指出友情在青少年生活中很重要。根据空前一句可知,设空处应该与青少年友情的重要性有关,D项(它们是迈向成年的重要部分)符合语境。D项中的They指代上文中的teen friendships。

My Best Friend
It’s true that everyone has his or her best friend.My best friend is Li Ping, who is a lively and easy-going girl in my class.Not only does she do well in her academic subjects, but she is also ready to help others.
Undoubtedly, what brings us together are common interests and hobbies.There are two things that we enjoy doing together: reading literary works and listening to classical music.More importantly, we share similar views on life and the world around us.
As emotional creatures, we human beings need family affection as well as friendship.Without friends, our lives would be like a wild desert.

The immigrant family lived in a small house, where there was not even a single piece of furniture. But some brightly coloured pictures on the walls attracted their attention. Apparently they were painted by Jack and his brother. Sophia and Mr Green explained why they came, and then gave the mother the stationery and clothes they had bought.

On the Use of Artificial Intelligence
Hi everybody.Our group discussed the use of AI and finally agreed that its advantages outweigh the disadvantages.
On the one hand, it goes without saying that AI has brought much convenience and has been doing us a great favour in jobs requiring accuracy and calculation.Plus, AI has such fantastic speed in collecting data.On the other hand, AI is becoming too smart nowadays, concerns arising.Some of us think that AI will be a threat to humans one day.However, AI can be our best assistant as long as we develop it in the right way.
That’s our opinion.Thank you.

“Pretty” caught my attention since it was almost my favourite word. At that moment, I felt myself surrounded with a lot of warmth and love. I knew teachers would never lie. It was Miss Pratt who brought a lot of confidence to me. From that moment on, I made the decision to be one of the top students in my class to improve myself. Whatever it took and no matter how much time I would spend, I would try my best to succeed.
About two months later, the final exam result was announced and I got the first place. The moment Miss Pratt finished the announcement, the whole class cheered and clapped for me. For the first time I felt truly good about myself and I knew I had been motivated by Miss Pratt’s praise. This might not have occurred if I had not heard those kind words. Thank you so much, Miss Pratt! What a great difference you have made! I am determined to be a caring teacher like you!

In tears, Scarlett’s mother observed the little girl during the show. During the performance, Scarlett had the biggest eyes and smile, forgetting everything around. It seemed as if she had joined them, dancing with them. She felt so special. “After the show ended, they had some flowers falling from the ceiling, and she opened her bag to collect them as a sweet memory of the best day,” Scarlett’s mother said.
Then, Scarlett got to attend a private meet with the Rockettes dancers in person. “Scarlett kept saying, ‘You are perfect,’” her mom recalls. The dancers surprised her with a bag filled with gifts. “The minute I met Scarlett, I could see her eyes light up with joy,” said one of the professional dancers. “My favourite part of spending time with Scarlett was seeing her excitement as she talked about her love for dance, and for the Rockettes,” she added. The dancers felt thankful that they could be a part of Scarlett’s holiday this year, while for Scarlett and her familySection Ⅲ Developing ideas

I have quite a bit of experience with Toastmasters, an organization aiming to help people overcome speech anxiety. I joined many years ago with the hope of improving my public speaking. After one of my speeches, the comments I received were harsh. Constructive or not, the critique was hard to take. I felt my feelings were hurt.
I learned many things from my time with Toastmasters, and one was the value of good feedback. Welcoming the critique of others is hard for adults, even when it’s well-intentioned. So naturally, we can expect that children will also struggle with it. But the feedback our children receive from teachers and parents is important to their growth and development. So as parents, we must learn how to deliver our feedback effectively, and we’ll need to train our children on how to accept it with openness and wisdom.
The way parents deliver their feedback is as important as the specific words used. It’s possible to have good intentions, but when feedback is poorly given, it can be harmful and not helpful.
It’s important to create a welcoming, safe environment in the home for intaking and processing feedback. Especially between a child and parent, the feedback needs to be healthy, constructive and regular.
The words used are also important. In a New York Times article written by Dr Adam Grant, an organizational psychologist at the Wharton School, he shares that it is “22 to 29 per cent more effective” to encourage children with nouns than verbs, but when it comes to giving negative feedback, it’s generally better to use verbs.
A parent’s feedback provides the scaffolding (脚手架) for how a child will manage their inner monologue. Consider, as an example, a discussion you may have with your child about their goals. Your feedback can encourage them not just to focus on where they are now but to reflect on how far they’ve come. This kind of feedback can spur them on to reach the finish line.
1.Why does the author mention his experience with Toastmasters?( )
A.To tell us what is good feedback.
B.To tell us to join Toastmasters.
C.To show the main function of feedback.
D.To show the necessity of proper feedback.
2.Which of the following feedback is effective according to Dr Adam Grant?( )
①You’re a big helper.
②You’re a poor math learner.
③You’ve been helpful this afternoon.
④You didn’t do well on this math test.
A.①② B.①④
C.②③ D.③④
3.What does the underlined word “spur” in the last paragraph mean?( )
A.Limit. B.Monitor.
C.Persuade. D.Inspire.
4.What is the best title for the passage?( )
A.The Way to Respond to Feedback
B.The Value of Accepting Feedback
C.How to Give Effective Feedback
D.How to Become a Better Speaker

“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 — breakups, 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 behaviour 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.The 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.
5.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.
6.What important negative effect does gossip have?( )
A.Breaking up relationships.
B.Embarrassing the listeners.
C.Spreading information around.
D.Causing unpleasant experiences.
7.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.
8.Professor David Wilson thinks that gossip can .( )
A.provide students with written rules
B.make people watch their own behaviour
C.force school to improve student handbooks
D.attract the police’s attention to group behaviour

So many things can keep you from seeing your loved ones in person, from busy schedules to long distances. Fortunately, thanks to modern technology, the people you miss are often only a phone call or a text message away. According to science, if you want to feel more connected to the people you’re talking to, you should call them instead of texting.
In a study, researchers did various experiments. In one, they asked 200 people to imagine what it would be like to reconnect with an old friend by email or by phone, and they asked people to do one or the other at random. Although people thought that a phone call would be more mortifying, it actually made the experience better. “People reported they did form a stronger bond with their old friends on the phone versus email, and they did not feel uncomfortable,” co-author Amit Kumar said.
In another experiment, researchers had strangers connect by texting, talking over video chat, or talking using only audio (音频). They found that both forms of voice communication — whether video or audio only — made the strangers feel more connected than when they communicated via text.
Sabrina Romanoff, a psychologist, says people tend to text instead of calling because of convenience, as they can organize information exactly in the way they intend without unexpected additions by the other person.
Romanoff says that in reality, texting can make it hard to determine the true meaning behind a conversation. “A phone call is actually more convenient considering the effects of the message,” she explains. “Each part is more present, and therefore, it is able to figure out the meaning behind the conversation quickly without thinking of the endless possible meanings behind words.”
9.What does the underlined word “mortifying” in Paragraph 2 mean?( )
A.Puzzling. B.Exciting.
C.Embarrassing. D.Satisfying.
10.What advantage does a phone call have over an email according to the study?( )
A.It takes more patience.
B.It brings people closer.
C.It proves more relaxing.
D.It makes people more friendly.
11.Why do people consider texting convenient?( )
A.They can make themselves clear without being disturbed.
B.They would easily keep the messages for future use.
C.They can freely express their good or bad feelings.
D.They would avoid some unpleasant topics.
12.What can we infer from Romanoff’s words in the last paragraph?( )
A.It is easy to express one’s meaning through texting.
B.It is necessary to guess the meaning behind words.
C.People can understand each other more easily by phone calls.
D.People should use simple words to express themselves in emails.

Have you ever been in mid-conversation with someone, when you look over and find them standing in the same position as you or holding the same facial expression? It may seem like they have consciously (有意识地) copied you, but it is much more likely that it is the chameleon (变色龙) effect at play.
The chameleon effect is the unconscious imitation of another person’s gestures or behaviour.Just as a chameleon attempts to match any environment’s colours, people acquire the behaviour of others to bring them closer together and help make their interactions smooth.
The chameleon effect was confirmed in an experiment by psychologists John Bargh and Tanya Chartrand in 1999.The first part of their experiment included 78 people, who each spoke with an experimenter.During the test, Bargh and Chartrand studied whether participants would copy the actions of someone they hadn’t met before, like moving the foot and touching the face.The second part measured the impact that copying someone has on the person being imitated.
In the first stage, participants increased their face touching by 20% and their foot movement by 50% while in conversation about a photograph with the experimenter.The individuals weren’t aware of what they were being studied for, and the photograph was used to catch their attention to ensure unconscious acts.The second stage involved half of the participants being copied, and then rating the likeability of the experimenter.The results showed that those who were imitated scored the experimenter higher.It has shown that when someone copies our behaviour, we develop more positive feelings about them.These interactions could be a person unconsciously willing to be liked, and forming a moment of connection.
The main reasons behind humans’ imitation are positive.However, when people carry this chameleon effect to the extreme, they can lose their sense of self.Those who change their entire personalities in different groups often go undetected.But more common signs of the chameleon effect are easier to notice.Next time you are in a social gathering, take a look around and you might just see some chameleons for yourself.
1.Why do people acquire others’ behavior?( )
A.To match the environment’s colours. B.To attract others’ attention.
C.To establish a connection with others. D.To adapt to the surroundings.
2.How did the experimenter guarantee participants’ unconscious behaviour?( )
A.By directing their attention to a photo.
B.By keeping a close eye on their actions.
C.By telling them the purpose of the study.
D.By evaluating the impacts of their imitation.
3.What conclusion can be drawn from the experiment?( )
A.Too much of the chameleon effect can be beneficial.
B.People tend to like those who imitate their behaviour.
C.People imitating others are not easy to be detected.
D.The copied movements help people to feel relaxed.
4.Which of the following shows the chameleon effect according to the passage?( )
A.A comedian copies a celebrity vividly on stage.
B.Students adopt teachers’ accents for fun after class.
C.People change their habits to please others on purpose.
D.A husband and his wife share similar behaviour over time.

Living in a modern society has its advantages and disadvantages. One disadvantage is that you often have to live closer to other people than you would like to. Sometimes, your neighbours make noise that you are not comfortable with.
The best way to solve this problem is to talk with your neighbour first. You should be very polite and ask your neighbour if he knows how thin the walls of your homes are. This way doesn’t criticise (批评) his behaviour; it simply points out that he may not realise how far his sound travels. Tell him that you know that sometimes you make noise as well, but that you do your best to keep it down. Often this will solve the problem right away, but sometimes the neighbour may become angry.
If your neighbour becomes angry with you, there are some more steps you can take. You might write a letter to the neighbourhood committee. Make sure you write down the source of the noise and the time in the letter. They will review the situation and decide whether your neighbour is out of line. Some noise is considered to be reasonable, even if it bothers you. So you may prepare a good pair of earplugs (耳塞).
Even if your neighbour makes too much noise, you don’t have to live your life in discomfort. It’s always a good idea to be friendly with your neighbours. You may clean the rubbish in front of his door. He’s sure to appreciate behaviour like this and be more open to your suggestions about the noise level.
5.What is the first step to deal with the noisy neighbour?( )
A.To buy a good pair of earplugs.
B.To offer suggestions to the neighbour.
C.To ask the neighbourhood committee for help.
D.To tell the neighbour how bad his behaviour is.
6.What does the underlined word “reasonable” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?( )
A.Terrible. B.Loud.
C.Proper. D.Useful.
7.What does the last paragraph mainly talk about?( )
A.You should control your noise as well.
B.You can live comfortably even if there is noise.
C.Your neighbour may be more friendly than you think.
D.You should offer some suggestions to your neighbour.
8.What’s the author’s purpose in writing the passage? ( )
A.To tell us why we should get on well with neighbours.
B.To tell us how to relax ourselves in modern society.
C.To tell us how to become known among neighbours.
D.To tell us what we should do with our noisy neighbours.

One sunny morning, the sun began to rise, casting a warm golden glow over the park. Two young men named Tom and Jerry, who were lost in their own books, found themselves sitting on the opposite ends of a bench. The air was filled with the sweet scent of blooming flowers and the distant sound of children playing. Their eyes met for a brief moment before they both bent down to pick up their pens. It seemed as if they had known before. They quickly became friends and then began to spend many happy times together. They played basketball, watched movies, and spent many unforgettable days together. However, as time went on, their lives changed, and their friendship was put to the test.
A few years later, Tom became a successful lawyer, while Jerry chose a different path and became an artist. Despite different kinds of changes in their lifestyles, they still kept in touch and would gather together every once in a while to recall the good old days.
One day, Tom received a letter from Jerry. The letter said, “Dear Tom, I hope you can come and visit my art exhibition. I know you may not be interested in art, but I think you will like these works. They are all paintings I made during the days we spent together. I hope you can feel the friendship between us.”
After reading the letter, Tom immediately decided to attend Jerry’s art exhibition. He bought a bunch of flowers as a gift and arrived at the exhibition site. When he walked into the exhibition hall, he was shocked by what he saw. The walls were filled with Jerry’s works, each painting full of life and emotion.
