Text 10
W：Last night I had a frightening experience. While I was eating dinner at the fast food restaurant where I normally go when I’m in a hurry, the manager announced that everybody had to leave the building. The place was crowded and that made the situation dangerous, as everyone was determined to get out first. To make matters worse, an elderly woman, who must have weighed 300 pounds, had just come up to the entrance, which was also the only exit. In the meantime, I remembered that I had left my purse in the chair I had been occupying when the announcement was made. It was certainly not convenient to return and get it, but I had to do it. When I finally got outside, I saw that the police bomb team had arrived and the men were studying the area. They finally found out that it was all a false alarm and the crowd went away.

Can you imagine how difficult it is to really master English and speak it as fluently as a native speaker? Visit Engrish.com and you will find that it is unbelievably challenging. This website was created in 1996 with the aim of having fun with, not making fun of the Engrish phenomenon. “Engrish” is considered as the flawed English found in Japan and other East Asian countries.
The term Engrish describes the tendency of Japanese people to confuse the English phonemes (音素)“R” and “L”. Other famous mistakes due to phonetic differences include the misuse of the word “Engrand”(instead of“England”) and “baby-shiner”(in place of “baby-sitter”)．Grammatical mistakes may involve using a noun as a verb with “Let’s” as in “Let’s beer.” Unnecessary wording like “Let’s play with me！” is also very common. The classic Engrish “I feel Coke” is a well-known example of getting rid of connecting words.
Amused by these humorous mistakes, you may wonder why the Japanese don’t get some translators or consult native English speakers for corrections. The fact is that there is often no attempt to get it right. For one thing, some Japanese companies do not regard English as a means of communication. Rather, they use English as part of the design in Japanese products and advertising to give them a modern look and feel, or just to “look cool”. Moreover, some Japanese people or companies simply do not have the resources they would need if they wanted to get their English carefully checked. Although most Japanese study English for anywhere from 6 to 10 years as a second language, they cannot easily find native English speakers to practice with.
Engrish can be found everywhere in Japan, including on signs, menus, and in advertisements. So, the next time you see the elevator at your school labeled as a “Disabled Elevator” or the public toilets outside the MRT station marked “Out-Toilet”， feel free to take photographs and send them to Engrish.com. The webmasters of Engrish. com will be more than willing to showcase them on their website!
语篇解读：本文是说明文。文章主要介绍了Engrish.com 这一网站并分析了出现Engrish 这种语言现象的原因。

A．was set up in the early 21st century

25．The following sentences belong to Engrish EXCEPT “________”
A．You’ll shopping!
B．Let’s go boating with me!
C．I had two coffees while I waited.
D．He has just come back from Engrand.
解析：选C 细节理解题。由第二段中的“The classic Engrish ’I feel Coke’ is a well-known example of getting rid of connecting words.”可知A项说法属于Engrish；由“Unnecessary wording like ’Let’s play with me！’”可知B项说法属于Engrish; 由“the misuse of the word ’Engrand’(instead of ’England’)”可知D项说法也属于Engrish。所以除了C项外，其他说法都属于Engrish。

At the age of 16, Julia Butterfly Hill quit school and worked at a restaurant. For many years, she was only interested in making money and material things. Then one day she had a serious car accident, which changed her life. Hill said：“I realized I wanted to find a more powerful purpose for being here on this planet.”
As soon as she recovered, Hill traveled to California. There she saw ancient redwood trees, which are the largest trees in the whole world. The wood from redwood trunks is very hard. So the Pacific Lumber Company cut down many of the huge redwoods to use for construction. There are not many forests of these trees left. Many environmental activists want to protect the remaining trees. The redwoods are very important to the environment.
In 1997 Hill learned a group called Earth First was working to protect a particular group of trees. They decided to send someone up into a redwood tree, hoping this would stop the company from cutting the trees down. Julia Butterfly Hill volunteered.
Hill lived in the tree for over two years without ever coming down. Her home was a 6-by-8-foot tree house, 180 feet up. It is always cold and wet in a redwood tree. There were even very serious winter storms while Hill was in the tree. The wind and cold almost knocked Hill out of the tree. But she did not fall — she survived.
Finally, after years of arguing, the company decided to protect Luna, the tree Hill lived in. They signed an agreement to never cut down this huge redwood tree or the trees around it. When Hill put her feet on the earth again, she began to cry. But from that moment on Hill hasn’t stopped working to protect the environment.

As a senior, I realised it was time to make one of the biggest decisions of my life, but I was absolutely short of talent. My friends were applying to schools like Tufts and Berkeley, while the only planning I had done was for the coming weekend. I wasn’t ready for college. I was frightened and didn’t know what to do.
My parents agreed that I was short of talent. “Maybe you should go to preparatory school (预科学校) for an additional year，” my mother suggested. Preparatory school? Was she crazy? I wasn’t the greatest student, but I couldn’t go to a preparatory school. I thought that was for stupid kids — kids who don’t get good jobs or succeed in life.
My grandfather, who recently passed on, has been the greatest influence on my life. I knew that he graduated from a top college, Bowdoin, but what I didn’t know was that he got in after attending preparatory school. I realised this was my best bet, but feared finding the perfect school would be difficult.
Then, I heard about New Hampton School from a friend and decided to visit. I was blown away and immediately felt comfortable. I became hesitant (犹豫的) to visit other schools because I couldn’t imagine any other would be as educating as New Hampton. The staff gave me a warm feeling, which meant a lot to a kid from a small town. Even though I’m a senior, I will be able to better prepare myself for college at New Hampton School. I feel the staff will help me get that extra year of development to make sure that I will be ready for college. Then I’ll go.
语篇解读：本文讲述作者高中毕业没有达到心仪大学的录取标准，最后决定去预科学校的故事。

解析：选C 推理判断题。根据第一段可知，作者才疏学浅且没有为申请上这两所大学做好准备。由此可以推断，原因在于作者没有达到这两所大学的录取标准。
33．The author didn’t want to go to preparatory school at the beginning because ________.
A．he was a kid from a small town
B．it’s difficult to find a good preparatory school
C．going to preparatory school was his mother’s choice
D．he thought only stupid kids would go to preparatory school
解析：选D 细节理解题。根据第二段可知，作者认为预科学校是为笨孩子准备的，只有笨孩子才去上预科学校，所以他一开始不想上预科学校。
34．The fact that the author’s grandfather had attended preparatory school ________.
A．encouraged the author to go to top college, Bowdoin
B．made the author find the perfect school more easily
C．changed the author’s original idea about preparatory
school
D．made the author find the perfect school with more difficulty
解析：选C 推理判断题。根据第三段和文章结尾作者对预科学校的态度可知，作者的祖父曾上过预科学校这一经历使作者改变了最初对预科学校的抵触态度。
35．What attracted the author most in New Hampton School?
A．The name of the school.
B．The teachers of the school.
C．The location of the school.
D．The living conditions of the school.

Tips for taking care of friendships
Some people are meant to come and go from your lives quickly. Other friends may grow with you as your life changes. One way to keep friendships of any level strong is to take good care of them.
Send handwritten notes
Just find a note card, write something by hand, and then mail it. 36 Since electronic communication is becoming popular these days, a handwritten note can really make an impression.
Be active in contacting (联系) friends
Many people call up friends only when they need something. The problem with this is it makes it look as if you don’t really care about your friend. __37__ Regularly check in with your friends so they know you are sincere.
Call up friends
Electronic communication is great, but there is nothing like hearing your friend’s voice to give you a lift. Make a point to call up friends and check in with them. __38___ Just a few minutes every month can make a difference in your friendship.
Give meaningful gifts
Put some thought into the gifts you give a friend. __39__ In fact, often the smallest but most thoughtful ones are the biggest hit.
__40__
People who argue from time to time actually have healthier friendships than those who never discuss their points of conflict. Learn how to argue in a healthy way and work through the issues in your friendship.
A．Talk things out
B．Get together with friends
C．The phone calls don’t have to be long.
D．The presents don’t have to be large or expensive.
E．This will really stand out in your friend’s mailbox.
F．Discuss your issues with the goal of making your relationship healthier.
G．Remember to call up friends or send an email to see how they are doing.
语篇解读：本文是说明文。文章主要就如何增进友谊给出了一些建议。
36．选E 由该空后面的“Since electronic communication ... make an impression.”可知，随着电子通信越来越普及，手写卡片已经很少见了，所以如果你这么做的话，你的卡片一定会给朋友留下深刻印象，故E项内容符合此处语境。
37．选G 由该段标题Be active in contacting friends和该空后的“Regularly check in with your friends so they know you are sincere.”可知，要记得常和朋友联系，故填G项。
38．选C 由该段标题Call up friends和该空后的“Just a few minutes every month can make a difference.”可知，这里是说每次打电话时间不必太长，故填C项。
39．选D 由该段标题Give meaningful gifts和该空后的“often the smallest ... are the biggest hit”可知，送给朋友的礼物不一定要多大或是多贵，故填D项。
40．选A 朋友之间也会有矛盾冲突，所以要经常相互交流，把问题说出来以便建立更加健康的友谊，因此用Talk things out 作为小标题最恰当，故选A项。

55．A.expensive B．superb
C．interesting D．popular
解析：选D 这个游戏在世界各地很受欢迎。expensive“昂贵的”，superb“极好的”，interesting“有趣的”，popular“流行的”。
56．A.knowledge B．equipment
C．materials D．circumstances
解析：选B 斯诺克由很多器材组成，有涂抹球杆的白粉和球杆。后面介绍了游戏中需要的工具。故用equipment一词。

C．presents D．stands

60．A.win B．end
C．continue D．start
解析：选D 白球(母球)是用来开球的——你打了第一个球之后，比赛就开始了。由“the first one”可知选D项。
第二节(共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分)
阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容(1个单词)或括号内单词的正确形式。
Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg __61__ (recent) surprised Chinese students when he spoke to __62__ in Chinese. In a talk at Tsinghua University in Beijing, Zuckerberg spoke Chinese for about 30 minutes. __63__ his Chinese was far from perfect, students and faculty cheered his effort.
Clayton Dube is the head of the U．S.-China Institute at the University of Southern California. He praises Zuckerberg’s effort and thinks more American CEOs should learn foreign __64__ (language)．
“To speak Chinese __65__ (mean) you begin to think as Chinese people do. You begin to understand how Chinese speakers have the world __66__ (organise), and how they understand things. And that is __67__ vital step if you’re going to be culturally __68__ (qualify)．”
Zuckerberg’s talk raises a larger question: Is Chinese the language of the future? Could it replace English as the world’s international language? Chinese already has the most native speakers of any language. And, China may soon pass the United States as the world’s __69__ (large) economy.
The study of the Chinese language is increasing in the United States and around the world. In 2009, about 60,000 __70__ (America) college students were studying Chinese. That is three times as many as in 1990.
61．________ 62.________ 63.________ 64.________
65．________ 66.________ 67.________ 68.________
69．________ 70.________
语篇解读：本文介绍的是Facebook 的创始人Mark Zuckerberg 在中国对中国大学生用汉语演讲，这使中国学生很吃惊。作者由此探讨了关于汉语的几个问题。
61．recently recently 为副词，作句子状语。
62．them 由语境可知，此处要用代词them 替代Chinese students。
63．Although/Though 句意：虽然他的汉语远非完美，但是学生和全体教职员工都为他的努力喝彩。因此，要用although 或者though引导让步状语从句。
64．languages language 为可数名词，此处表示要学习外语。外语不止一门，因此要用复数。
65．means 分析结构可知，此处to speak Chinese 是动词不定式短语作主语，谓语动词要用第三人称单数，故填means。
66．organised the world与organise之间是被动关系，故要用过去分词作宾补。
67．a step 为单数可数名词，第一次出现，前面要加不定冠词a。
68．qualified culturally 为副词，修饰形容词qualified。qualified指“有资格的”，在从句中作表语。
69．largest 句意：而且，中国可能很快就会赶超美国成为世界上最大的经济体。形容词large 前有定冠词the，要用其最高级形式。
70．American 修饰名词college students，要用形容词American。

As a tour guide, I’m glad to tell you that more and more tourists are paying attentions to environment protection. Several years before, in one place of interest I saw rubbish throwing away everywhere, such as waste paper, plastic bags. However, some tourists climbed trees or picked up flowers. Some even scared or catch little animals. What’s more, some of them made a fire to cook, which might cause a forest fire. Recently great changes had taken place. Most tourists take rubbish away with them while they leave. They no longer hurt little animals . Trees and flowers are well taken care. In the forest, smokers give up smoking so as not to start a fire. Now I sing high praise for so good deeds.
答案：第一句：attentions→attention
第二句：before→ago; throwing→thrown
第三句：However→Besides; 去掉up

第二部分 阅读理解 (满分40分，限时35分钟)
第一节(共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分)
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。
A
It was around the 4th grade when I started noticing that I didn’t fit in that well with a lot of kids in my grade. While the other girls were starting to wear make-up, style their hair, and only wear fashionable clothing, I stayed the same. At first I didn’t care, but then I started to feel a little worried. I was afraid that the other girls wouldn’t like me. I wanted to be like them, but I really hated that.
After I entered the 5th grade my mom found a local vocal (歌唱的) studio. I had always loved to sing, and taking lessons seemed like fun. I was thrown into a brilliant world of music. Something inside me just clicked, and I had finally found where I belonged. Music gave me a place of my own in the world.
Starting voice lessons was the first of many times that music has changed my life. In the 7th grade, I really didn’t fit in at middle school. Being an athlete is what made you popular, and I was not super athletic. Music saved me again. Every day I knew I could come home from school and sing. I would become someone else. I would let the music fill my body and shine its light in the darkest corners. The light gave me strength. I became friends with other people who were into music. Music also gave me courage.
Friedrich Nietzsche once said, “Life without music would be a mistake.” This is true for me. Without music, my life would be a mistake. Maybe I would have found another hobby, but I doubt that it would help and change me the way music did. I know that music has changed my life.

Dear Dr. Bob，
I was visiting my sister Mary, who has two boys, ages seven and five. They were throwing a ball around the living room. She asked them several times to stop, but they didn’t listen to her. Finally, one of the boys threw the ball and knocked over a lamp. She shouted loudly at them for several minutes. Then, she sent them to their room. She looked at me and said, “They never listen to me.”
Carmen
Dear Carmen，
Your sister needs to be clear to her children what behavior she expects. She should tell her boys, “Don’t throw the ball in the house. If you throw the ball again, I’m going to take it.” Then, she needs to do what she says. Her boys will soon learn to listen to her.
Dr. Bob
Dear Dr. Bob，
I walked into my two-year-old daughter’s bedroom and found her coloring on the wall again with her crayons. I told her, “No! No! Never write on the wall with your crayons. You can only write on paper.” My husband thinks I was too easy on her and that she needed a spanking (打屁股). What is your opinion?
Debbie
Dear Debbie，
You dealt with the situation well. Children this age are too little to understand the relationship between their actions and a spanking. Use this as a warning; it’s time to_babyproof_your_home. Now that your little one is more active and curious (好奇的), what else can she reach? Check her room and your home for crayons, paints, medicines, cleaning products, and other things that might interest her.
Dr. Bob

27．Both Mary and Debbie found it hard to ________.
A．ask their children to follow rules
B．stop their children from telling lies
C．get their children to go to bed on time
D．develop their children’s interest in reading

C
When I was in high school, I took part in the Upward Bound Program.There I was influenced by the academic (学业的) success of my tutors. Through Upward Bound I was able to gain skills and opportunities that have helped me become the man that I am today. So I now often give back to enable kids to have the same chances at life that I have had.
Volunteering is the best payback to those who helped me on the road to success. I remember asking a counselor (指导教师) when I was in Upward Bound how I could repay him. He smiled and said, “Shawn, you can help me by helping another.” A statement is so simple, yet so deep in its meaning.
When I got my first volunteer position as a junior counselor at my local Boys and Girls Club, I was eager to be a great role model for the kids. But things did not work out as I thought at first. After about a couple of weeks of volunteering, I felt that my efforts were in_vain. It was a slow process and I got disappointed.
By the time I had reached my wits end and was ready to quit, I overheard some of the kids asking where I was that day. They said they liked having me around. My desire to give back to the community was renewed by the fact that I made a difference. Now the feeling that I can shape someone’s life for the better is amazing.
People volunteer for different reasons. I volunteer because I really want to help. But some volunteer for personal gain. Some people think poorly of it. But I don’t think so. Despite the fact that they are benefiting from volunteering, so are the people they are helping. So it is a good thing. After all we all win when we volunteer. So I appeal to everyone for finding a cause and volunteering. In this way, you will be not only helping others, but also helping yourself.
语篇解读：作者因为受到过别人的帮助，所以也想通过做义工来帮助别人。
28．Why did the author decide to volunteer in the first place?
A．Because he wanted to gain skills.
B．Because he wanted to give back.
C．Because he loved playing with kids.

29．What did the counselor ask the author to do?

B．To repay him by achieving success.

D
If the earth’s population is in growth at this rate, there will not be enough resources. By the middle of the 21st century, if present trends continue, we will have used up all the oil that drives our cars, for example. Even if scientists develop new ways of feeding the human race, the crowded conditions on the earth will make it necessary for us to look for open space somewhere else. But none of the other planets in our solar system are capable of supporting life at present. One possible solution to the problem, however, has recently been suggested by American scientist, Professor Carl Sagan.
Sagan believes that before the earth’s resources are completely exhausted it will be possible to change the atmosphere of Venus and so create a new world almost as large as the earth itself. The difficulty is that Venus is much hotter than the earth and there is only a tiny amount of water there.
Sagan proposes that algae organisms (海藻有机体) that can live in extremely hot or cold atmospheres and at the same time produce oxygen, should be bred in condition similar to those on Venus. As soon as this has been done, the algae will be placed in small rockets. Spaceship will then fly to Venus and fire the rockets into the atmosphere. In a fairly short time, the algae will break down the carbon dioxide into oxygen and carbon.
When the algae have done their work, the atmosphere will become cooler, but before man can set foot on Venus it will be necessary for the oxygen to produce rain. The surface of the planet will still be too hot for man to land on but the rain will eventually fall and in a few years something like the earth will be reproduced on Venus.
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。地球上的资源越来越少，人类的生存即将面临挑战。如何拯救地球上的人类？一些科学家提出了移民金星的建议，同时建议在地球资源耗尽之前在金星上培植一种海藻有机体，让金星产生与地球一样的生存环境。
32．In the long run, the most difficult problem caused by population growth on the earth will probably be the lack of________.
A．oil B．food
C．resources D．space
解析：选D 细节理解题。根据第一段第三句“Even if scientists develop new ways of feeding the human race ...look for open space somewhere else.”可知，即使科学家开发出了供养人类的新方式，但是地球上拥挤的状况也使得人们去寻找更开阔的空间。由此可知，人口膨胀最大的问题是空间的问题。故选D项。
33．Carl Sagan believes that Venus might be a living place because________.
A．the days on Venus are long enough
B．it might be possible to change its atmosphere
C．there is a good supply of water on Venus
D．its atmosphere is the same as the earth’s
解析：选B 细节理解题。根据第二段第一句“... it will be possible to change the atmosphere of Venus and so create a new world almost as large as the earth itself.”可知，金星有可能改变它的大气继而成为适宜人类生存的地方。故选B项。
34．Algae are plants that can________.
A．live in very hot temperature
B．live in very cold temperature
C．produce oxygen
D．all of the above
解析：选D 细节理解题。根据第三段第一句可知，海藻有机体可以在极热和极冷的温度下生存，同时还能产生氧气。故选D项。
35．Man can land on Venus only when________.
A．it rains there
B．there is oxygen
C．the atmosphere becomes cooler
D．the algae have done their work
解析：选A 推理判断题。在文章最后一段中提到，在人类踏足金星之前需要氧气去制造雨水，然后又提到雨水最后会降落到金星上使得气温下降，这样人类就可以居住了。由此可以推测A项正确。

Tips to Start Doing Things That You Do Not Like to Do
Even though it is there on our to-do list, we give it less priority (优先权) because we dislike doing it. __36__ On the other side, if you put effort into doing difficult things or those things you do hate to do, you will be able to do harder tasks with confidence later in life. Here are some good-to-know tips that will encourage you to start doing things that you do not like to do：
Stop hating the task. __37__ To become a confident and better person, you should start loving to do difficult things, especially the ones you do not like to do.
Look at the bigger picture. If you meet a difficult task, instead of shying away from it, take some time and think about it. What is the major reason behind doing this task? __38__ You need to look at the bigger picture instead of just thinking about the task.
Overcome your fear. One thing that stops you from carrying out the task is fear. You may develop a fear, thinking that the task is very difficult or you are not comfortable when doing it. You can never overcome fear by running away from it. __39__ Why not face it now and become braver?
__40__ If you think you have enough time on your side, you may not put enough effort into carrying out the task. So, if you limit yourself to carry out a certain task in a set period, you will not waste time but make the best use of it and accomplish the task.
A．Do not think about failure.
B．Set a time period to complete it.
C．Sooner or later you have to face it.
D．What will happen if you complete the task?
E．Life would be boring without difficult situations.
F．Successful people do things they don’t like to do, too.
G．Instead of giving it a try, we may stay away from it completely.

“Before I got my wheelchair，” she continued, “I had trouble __45__. Now I can go places! People confined to a room or a bed are usually __46__. They spend their lives with a __47__ heart. So what I want to do is set them free.”
Because of her __48__， Nancy now helps people find ways of __49__ more physical freedom. But we humans suffer from other kinds of limitations, too. We need free ourselves from __50__ attitudes.
Almost everybody walks around with a vast burden (负担) of imaginary limitations inside his __51__. While the burden remains, personal success is difficult to __52__.
What burden of limiting beliefs and attitudes are you walking around with? Do you ever say, “I can’t __53__ this”？ Do you believe other people can __54__ the good things of life or simply be happy, but not you? These patterns of __55__ are as much of a burden as a bag of rocks tied to your back.
Okay, certain limitations are a part of our __56__. You may be more able to see those that are __57__. After all, mental limitations can be __58__ hidden. But when you __59__ limiting attitudes and beliefs, you’ll discover __60__ you never dreamed of. You’ll do things you never thought you could do and you’ll be truly free!

Malls are popular places for Americans to go. Some people spend so much time at malls that they are called “mall rats”. Mall rats shop until they drop in the hundreds of stores under one roof.
People like malls for many reasons. They feel safe because malls have police stations or private security guards. Parking is usually free, and the atmosphere inside is always fine. The newest malls have beautiful rest areas with waterfalls and large green trees.
The largest mall in the United States is the Mall of America in Minnesota. It has 350 stores, eight night clubs, and a seven-acre park! There are parking spaces for 12,750 cars. About 750,000 people shop every week.
The first indoor mall in the United States was built in 1965 in Edina, Minnesota. Now people shop in malls, of course. They also eat in food houses that have food from all over the world. They see movies here. Some people even get their daily exercise by doing the new sport of mall walking. Others go to malls to meet friends. In a word, now residents can actually live in their favorite shopping center.
第二部分 阅读理解 (满分40分，限时35分钟)
第一节(共15小题； 每小题2分，满分30分)
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。
A
The city of Angkor was the capital of the Khmer Empire from the 9th to the 15th centuries. It was founded on political and religious ideas adapted from India, and the temples of Angkor were intended as a place of worship (敬拜) for the king.
Angkor Wat was built by King Suryavarman Ⅱ in the 12th century as a vast funerary (丧葬的) temple that would hold his remains, suggesting his permanent identity with Vishnu.
During its six centuries as capital, Angkor went through many changes in architectural styles and in religion. The city of Angkor changed its god from the Hindu god Shiva to the Hindu god Vishnu, and finally to the Mahayana Buddhist goddess Avalokitesvara.
By the late 13th century, the once uncontrolled pace of Angkor’s architectural pursuits (追求) had begun to die down, and a more limited type of religion was on the rise under the growing influence of Theravada Buddhism.
At the same time, Angkor and the Khmer Empire were increasingly threatened and attacked by invading armies. By the 16th century, the golden age of Angkor was over and many of the great temples began to gradually disappear into the jungle.
From the 15th to 19th centuries, Theravada Buddhist monks cared for Angkor Wat, and it is thanks to them that the temple remains mostly safe and sound. Angkor Wat is one of the most important pilgrimage (朝圣) sites in Southeast Asia. Angkor Wat is the best preserved example of Khmer architecture in Cambodia and is so grand in design that some rank it among the Seven Wonders of the World. It appears on the Cambodian national flag, a very rare example of a flag including an image of a building.

Research has found that adults today have fewer friends than they did in the 1980s, and that more people say they have no one to discuss important stuff with.
Play the violin. Not just play it — and sing along. A new study suggests that singing is an effective way to make new friends because it helps us bond quickly with others.
For the study, led by Eiluned Pearce, Ph.D.at Oxford University, researchers looked at participants, aged 18 to 83 in adult education classes organized by the Workers’ Education Association in the UK. Eighty-four participants were enrolled in one of four singing classes; 51 participants were enrolled in one of two creative crafts classes or a creative writing class.
Over a period of seven months, the classes went weekly. During the first, third, and final months, researchers asked participants to tell how close they felt to their classmates. Results showed something surprising. Although participants in all the classes felt closer to their classmates by the study’s end, participants in the singing classes developed that closeness much more quickly.
As for why exactly singing leads to fast group bonding, the researchers say one possible reason is that everyone does it at the same time. Compare that with creative writing or crafting, where everyone is working on an individual project. Another possible cause, according to the researchers, is that singing involves muscular effort, which causes the release of certain molecules (分子) that can make us happier and more willing to cooperate.
The point here is that singing can be a great icebreaker among large groups of strangers, which can lead to individual friendships down the line. “Really close relationships still depend on communication between individuals or much smaller groups，” Pearce said in a release, “but this study shows singing can start the bonding process.”
语篇解读：研究发现很多人一起唱歌时很容易建立友谊关系。
25．What has research found about today’s adults?
A．They don’t really want friends.
B．They are looking for new friends.
C．They have fewer friends than before.
D．They like discussing important things with friends.
解析：选C 细节理解题。根据第一段可知，研究发现，现在的人跟以前相比朋友要少。
26．The researchers didn’t expect that ________.
A．creative writing classes help people bond
B．the participants would become closer to others
C．so many participants would take singing classes
D．participants in the singing classes would bond so quickly
解析：选D 推理判断题。根据第四段的最后两句可知，这些研究人员没有料到很多人在一起唱歌时会那么快地建立友谊。
27．Paragraph 5 shows that reasons for the results of the research are ________.
A．very cheering
B．very interesting
C．a bit confusing
D．not completely possible
解析：选D 细节理解题。根据第五段的内容可知，提到的那两点都只是有可能是那些结果的原因，但并不是很确定的，故选D项。
28．According to Eiluned Pearce, really close relationships ________.
A．are easy to develop
B．depend on one’s attitude
C．often occur in large groups
D．rely on individual communication
解析：选D 细节理解题。根据Eiluned Pearce在末段说的“Really close relationships still depend on communication between individuals or much smaller groups”可知，答案应选D项。
C

Taylor won the Chester Award in 2005 for inventing Magic Sponge (海绵) Blocks, large building blocks made from sponge that can be piled high without having to worry about whether they might fall and hurt a child. The blocks contain magnets (磁铁) to hold them together, and they can be pressed flat like pancakes for easy storage.
2009

Do you know why I like playing golf close to Thanksgiving in New England? I usually have the whole course to myself. I enjoy my round just a little bit more when I don’t feel rushed. Yep, this time of year, I can squeeze out 18 holes in about 5 hours.
Now I know what some of you are thinking, “Five hours? Are you crazy? What are you, a tortoise? With no one in front of me, I could finish a round way faster than that！” Yep, I think you could. But if you find yourself alone, on a perfect day, on the golf course, at the end of the season, and you blow through your round in 3 hours ... I have news for you: You’re an idiot.
Why? When we set out to do something, must we do it in the fastest way? How can this possibly make sense for everything we do? I mean I understand haste (匆忙) when the situation requires it. Then how about this one：“What a beautiful day to be out on the golf course! There’s a cool breeze, warm sun and it appears we’re the only group for several holes! Let’s play as fast as humanly possible.”
Sounds preposterous,_right? See, that’s my thought exactly. Yet, there are many, many golfers who are off to the races the second they step foot on the first tee (球座) — like it’s a challenge to finish in record time. You know, they have a golf expression for that.
This is a game you love. You’ve been waiting all the week to play and spending a big sum of money on new golf balls. Then what are you rushing for? Look, no one likes to wait on every hole, but there’s a difference among waiting, slowing down and enjoying. Next time you’ve got a few holes open behind you, slow it down and enjoy — you’ll find 5 hours isn’t so bad after all.
语篇解读：作者认为打高尔夫的时候应该慢慢玩，享受那个过程。

__39__ However, they still believed in you and continued to shower their love on you. You wish you could go back in time and make everything right. But since that can’t happen, all you can do is make a sincere apology to them, and mean it.
