(2019·辽宁沈阳月考)
When going through major life changes, like changing careers, I would change the people with whom I spent the most time. We've all gone through periods when the people in our lives have changed—graduation, moving to a new city, getting a new job, joining a new club, etc. I don't think I need to convince you just how much influence other people can have over your identity. If you've ever experienced a major switch in your people environment, then you know that you change as well.
Most people don't make these choices consciously though. You might consciously decide to spend more time with a certain friend, or you may ask someone out on a date to begin a new relationship. But few people choose their existing friendships deliberately.
There's no “getting rid of people”. People are always dropping into and out of each other's lives. Associations grow into friendships, and friendships fade into associations. You don't get rid of anyone. The truth is that in order to make room for new people and new experiences, you may need to loosen up some of your existing connections.
What about loyalty? Shouldn't you always be loyal to your friends? Once you have a close friend, even if their influence on you is slightly harmful, shouldn't you stick by them?
Loyalty to a friend sometimes means having to let go. It means being loyal to their highest and best self as well. If someone is destroying his health by smoking, for example, you aren't showing loyalty by smoking right along with him. True loyalty sometimes requires that you break damaging connections, get yourself back on solid ground, and then decide what you can really do to help your friend.
It can take a lot of courage to tell someone, “I'm sorry, but I can't have you in my life anymore.” But even though this might seem like a selfish act at times, it's often the best thing for the other person too. If a relationship is holding you back in some way, understand that it's also hurting the other person. For example, if you work for a violent boss, your acceptance of that situation is considered to be silent approval, encouraging your boss to continue to behave violently.
【语篇解读】 本文讲述了人的一生会经历很多的改变，从而告诉我们：如何适应改变以及怎样做才是对朋友真正的忠诚。
1．When experiencing major life changes, people may ________ .
A．join a new social community
B．influence their friends around
C．choose their friendships purposely
D．have their people environment changed
解析：选D 细节理解题。根据文章第一段的“When going through major life changes ...your people environment”可知，当经历人生重大改变时，人们也会经历人际环境的改变。即 D 项正确。
2．What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 3 mean?
A．Everyone has at least one friend.
B．It is unnecessary to make new friends.
C．Friendship still exists though there's less connection.
D．You ought to treat your old and new friend equally.
解析：选C 句意理解题。根据画线句后的“People are always dropping into...existing connections.”可知，尽管人们之间的联系少了，但友谊依然存在。故选C项。
3．What is the author's opinion on the loyalty to friends?
A．Never betray your close friends whatever happens.
B．Correct their mistakes while you guard their goodness.
C．Stick by your friends even though they do harm to you.
D．Break up with your friends immediately if they smoke.
解析：选B 推理判断题。根据文章倒数第二段的第二句和最后一句可知，作者对朋友忠诚的态度是捍卫他们的优点但也要纠正错误，即B项正确。
4．How should we behave when employed by a violent boss?
A．We should accept what we are told to do.
B．We should stay silent and be in favor of it.
C．We should bravely disobey him if he is wrong.

(2019·河北邯郸二中高二检测)
Daniel Anderson，a famous psychologist, believes it's important to distinguish television's influences on children from those of the family.“We tend to blame TV，”he says, “for problems it doesn't really cause, overlooking our own roles in shaping children's minds.”
One traditional belief about television is that it reduces a child's ability to think and to understand the world.While watching TV, children do not merely absorb words and images. Instead, they learn both explicit and hidden meanings from what they see. Actually, children learn early the psychology of characters in TV shows. Furthermore, as many teachers agree, children understand far more when parents watch TV with them, explaining new words and ideas. Yet, most parents use an educational program as a chance to park their kids in front of the set and do something in another room.
Another argument against television is that it replaces reading as a form of entertainment. But according to Anderson, the amount of time spent watching television is not related to reading ability. TV doesn't take the place of reading for most children；it takes the place of similar sorts of recreation, such as listening to the radio and playing sports. Things like parents' educational background have a stronger influence on a child's reading.“A child's reading ability is best predicted by how much a parent reads，” Anderson says.
Traditional wisdom also has it that heavy television?watching lowers IQ scores and affects school performance. But here, too, Anderson notes that no studies have proved it. In fact, research suggests that it's the other way around.“If you're smart young, you'll watch less TV when you're older，” Anderson says. Yet, people of lower IQ tend to be lifelong television viewers.
For years researchers have attempted to show that television is dangerous to children. However, by showing that television promotes none of the dangerous effects as conventionally believed, Anderson suggests that television cannot be condemned without considering other influences.
【语篇解读】 本文叙述了著名心理学家Daniel Anderson对孩子们看电视的看法。他认为孩子们看电视不只学到显现出来的东西；父母陪孩子看电视，孩子可以学到更多知识；孩子看电视并没有代替孩子阅读，并没有影响孩子的智商。
5．By watching TV, children learn ________.
A．images through words
B．more than explicit meanings
C．more about images than words
D．little about people's psychology
解析：选B 细节理解题。根据第二段的“Instead, they learn both explicit and hidden meanings from what they see.”可知，孩子们通过看电视，可以学到明确显示出的和隐藏的意义，因此不仅仅学到明确的意义。故选B。
6．An educational program is best watched by a child ________ .
A．on his own
B．with other kids
C．with his parents
D．with his teachers
解析：选C 推理判断题。根据第二段的“Furthermore, as many teachers agree, children understand far more when parents watch TV with them...”可知，孩子们有父母陪着看电视时理解的更多，故可推断教育节目最好是父母陪着孩子看。故选C。
7．Which of the following is most related to children's reading ability?
A．Radio?listening.
B．Television?watching.
C．Parents' reading list.
D．Parents' educational background.
解析：选D 细节理解题。根据第三段倒装第二句“Things like parents' educational background have a stronger influence on a child's reading.”可知，父母的教育背景对孩子的阅读能力有很强的影响。故选D。
8．What is the main purpose of the passage?
A．To advise on the educational use of TV.
B．To describe TV's harmful effects on children.
C．To explain traditional views on TV influences.
D．To present Anderson's unconventional ideas.
解析：选D 写作目的题。通读文章可知，本文主要叙述了Daniel Anderson对孩子们看电视的看法，而且他的看法打破了人们传统意义上谴责电视的看法。故选D。
Ⅱ.短文改错
When I first learn to write in English, I ran into many difficulties. The main problem was in that I always thought in Chinese and tried to translate anything into Chinese. My teacher advised me to keep my diary. I follow her advice and put down 100 words or so each day. Soon I began to enjoy talk to myself on paper as I was learning to express me in simple English. One day I wrote a little story and showed to my teacher. She liked it very much and reads it to the class. All said the story was a good one. Their word were a great encouragement to me.

(2019·惠州高二月考)Following the crowd may not always be in a person's best interest.But new research suggests that teens who get along with their friends may end up healthier as adults.
Scientists have known that close friendships help boost health.That's true for both teens and adults. The finding inspired Joseph Allen, a psychologist at the University of Virginia, and his team to study whether experiences during teen years would influence adult health.
So they followed 171 teens, starting when the kids were just 13. They interviewed each one every year for five years, and also spoke to these teens' closest friends, who provided additional information about the quality of their friendships. The same 171 people were interviewed again at ages 25, 26 and 27. This time, the questions surveyed each person's overall health. When the researchers analyzed the data, they found a strong connection between a teen's behavior and adult health. Teens who had close friends grew up to be the healthier adults. Whether teens held back their feelings or expressed them to close friends also influenced later health. Those who held back their feelings were more likely to be sick as adults. The connection held up even after the scientists accounted for other possible influences on health. Weight, family income and drug use were all examined. So were mental health issues, such as anxiety and depression. And in these people, such other factors did not explain adult health as well as teen friendships did.
Getting along with the crowd may have benefits, says Allen, but there are also drawbacks. Teens who are more independent tend to do better at school and work. And peer pressure may lead some kids to engage in risky behavior, such as smoking, drinking or using drugs. Dealing with it is an ongoing challenge, Allen acknowledges. “Finding the right balance is the key. Teens shouldn't lose heart for not finding this easy.”And, he adds, “Parents need to be understanding about the pressures teens face.”
【语篇解读】 研究表明，与朋友较少或者没有朋友的青少年相比，有朋友的青少年在长大后更健康。当然，与朋友相处也有坏处。
1．Where can you probably read this passage?
A．Science fiction.
B．Health column.
C．Fashion magazine.
D．Entertainment newspaper.
解析：选B 推理判断题。通读全文可知，本文主要介绍青少年时的友谊对青少年成年后健康的影响。据此可知，本文属于健康知识类文章，故可判断本文可能选自“健康专栏”。故B项正确。
2．We can learn from Allen's study that ________.
A．many other factors have a greater influence on adult health than teen friendships
B．mental health issues have nothing to do with adult health
C．the same 171 teens were interviewed each year from 13 to 27
D．the teens who couldn't express themselves grew up to be unhealthier
解析：选D 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Whether teens held back...sick as adults.”可知，青少年是否向他们的好朋友表达情感也会影响到其成年后的健康，那些压抑情感的青少年成年后很可能不健康。故D项正确。
3．According to what Allen said, we can know that ________.
A．in order to do better at school, teens should not follow the crowd
B．though it's challenging for teens to deal with peer pressure, they should not give up
C．teens will engage in smoking, drinking or using drugs when facing peer pressure
D．parents should understand their teens and stop them going with friends
解析：选B 细节理解题。根据最后一段内容可知，与朋友相处使得青少年在成年后更加健康的同时也会带来不利影响，即周围同龄人带来的压力，这些压力会导致许多问题。分析Allen的话“Finding the right balance is the key.Teens shouldn't lose heart for not finding this easy.”可以判断，青少年要应对这些压力，找到正确的平衡点是关键，不能因为很难找到平衡点就灰心丧气。故选B。
4．What can be inferred from the passage?
A．There is nothing bad for teens to follow the crowd.
B．Close friendships are the most important for people's health.
C．Teen friendships may help teens become healthier adults.
D．Adult health is only influenced by teen friendships.
解析：选C 推理判断题。根据文章第一段第二句“But new research suggests that teens who get along with their friends may end up healthier as adults.”可知，与朋友相处的青少年在成年后会更加健康。C项意为“青少年时期的友谊会帮助青少年成为更加健康的成年人”，符合文章意思。故C项正确。
B
We have most friends at the age of 26 after having spent the first quarter of our lives building up our friendship circle，a new research has claimed.
The research into friendship shows that our social circle peaks at 26 years and 7 months, at which we typically have five close friends. Women are most popular at 25 years and 10 months, with men hitting the highest friendship point a little later at 27 years and 3 months.
The research, by Forever Friends, shows that about a third of adults meet their closest friends while at school, with about a fifth saying they meet them at work.
Social networks such as Facebook and Twitter now also play a major role in building new friendship. The research points out that 25 to 34?year?olds make 22 friends via Facebook, compared to 18 to 24?year?olds who make 12, and 35 to 44?year?olds who make just four.
Forever Friends' relationship coach Sam Owen says：“It is no coincidence that over a third of us meet our best friends at school. It is a key time in our lives when friendship is growing through sharing notes, giving gifts, seeing each other regularly and laughing a lot. As adults we can often forget how powerful these small things are and how the little things can make a difference.”
Later in life we find ourselves losing friends. Over half of us lose friendship through moving, while 36% say that over time they grow apart from close pals. Having children also causes 19% to drift away from childhood friends.
With growing pressures being put on friendship these days, it's important to make time for our friendship.
【语篇解读】 研究表明，我们在26岁时拥有最多的朋友，但是随着时间的推移，我们的朋友会减少。
5．How many friends can a 20?year?old college student make via Facebook?
A．4. B．12.
C．18. D．22.
解析：选B 细节理解题。根据第四段最后一句中的“...via Facebook，compared to 18 to 24?year?olds who make 12”可知，通过脸谱网年龄在18到24岁的人可以交到12个朋友，故B项正确。
6．In Paragraph 5，the author is trying to tell the readers ________.
A．how important making friends is
B．that friendship is not easy to keep
C．how much has been done to keep friendship
D．that friendship at school is important
解析：选D 细节理解题。根据第五段Sam Owen所讲的话的第二句“It is a key time in our lives when friendship is growing through sharing notes, giving gifts, seeing each other regularly and laughing a lot.”可知，学校时光是人生中建立友谊的重要阶段，这时候的友谊成长于分享笔记、赠送礼物、互相探望、一起欢笑中，故D项正确。
7．The underlined phrase“drift away from”in Paragraph 6 means “_____”．
A．make sense of B．lose contact with
C．feel sorry for D．make up with
解析：选B 词义猜测题。根据倒数第二段的第二句“Over half of us lose friendship...apart from close pals.”及画线词所在句“Having children also causes 19% to...childhood friends.”可以判断，画线词意为“失去联系”，故B项正确。A项意为“理解”，C项意为“对……感到抱歉”，D项意为“与……和好”，都与语境不符。
8．This passage is most probably taken from ________.
A．Facebook or Twitter
B．an advertisement
C．a textbook
D．a newspaper
解析：选D 文章出处题。根据第一段中的“a new research has claimed”以及最后一段中的“these days”，再结合选项可以判断，本文最有可能摘自报纸，故D项正确。

Ⅰ.七选五
How to Feel Beautiful on the Inside
Public opinion may have some say in who is considered “beautiful” on the outside, but inner beauty takes on a whole other meaning. 1 . Learn what beauty means to you and have the confidence to live by your own rules starting today.
Ask yourself what beauty means to you. How do you define inner beauty? Is it a person who is always smiling? Someone who has kind words for everyone he meets? Or, is your definition of beauty more complex? 2 . Take a pen and a notebook and write down some words that help you describe inner beauty.
Have confidence in who you are. In addition to stressing your character strengths, you can apply other ways to feel more confident. 3 . This can be anything from making music to playing sports. Doing things you are good at builds self?respect.
Smile and laugh more. 4 , just arranging your face into a smiling expression can thoroughly change your mood. Smiles can lead to a more positive mood and a more hopeful attitude. It can not only make you feel beautiful inside, but also improve your outer beauty.
5 . A reliable method of developing your own inner beauty is adopting the habit of seeing the beauty in everything. All around you, there are amazing people, places and things. Make an effort to slow down and acknowledge these daily.
A．Notice the beauty around you
B．When you want to get the feeling of confidence
C．Even if you don't quite feel up to it at the moment
D．Besides, you should try to laugh as much as possible
E．Take a moment to reflect on what beauty means to you
F．It has more to do with your character than your appearance
G．Frequently take part in activities in which you perform well
【语篇解读】 本文主要介绍了实现内在美的一些建议。
1．解析：选F 根据空前一句可知，应选F项，F项中的“character”与空前一句中的“inner beauty”(内在美)呼应，“your appearance”与空前一句中的“‘beautiful' on the outside”(外在美)呼应，所以选F。
2．解析：选E 根据段首主题句可知，E项中的“what beauty means to you”与主题句呼应。另外，选项E中的“reflect on”(反思)与主题句中的“Ask”相照应并且空后的描述是“反思”的具体体现之一。故选E。
3．解析：选G 首先，虽然B选项含有本段讲述的关键词“confidence”，但是它是一个从句，与空处不匹配。其次，G选项中的关键词“activities”与空后的“...from making music to playing sports. Doing things...”是内容上的总分关系，所以选G。
4．解析：选C 由空后的逗号和“just arranging...your mood”可知，此空应是从句，所以选项B和C进入考虑的范围，选项C中的关键词“it”指代前一句的“Smile and laugh more.”，且C项与空后内容语意连贯，所以选C。
5．解析：选A 根据本段内容尤其是本段中的“...seeing the beauty in everything. All around you...”可知，A项适合作本段的主题句。所以选A。
Ⅱ.完形填空

Every time Mom and Dad 10 to visit, all of us would gather in the driveway as they unloaded luggage. There was always something for the kids, 11 a couple of little toys or a big 12 of homemade cookies. They weren't gifts for particular occasions. They were 13 “Isn't life great？” gifts.
One spring when they came to visit, she handed me a 14 bag. Inside was a painting that 15 ：“A Special Daughter. You've 16 laughter and joy to our lives and so much love to our hearts. The most precious things we can 17 for you are the things you have given us— 18 and Love.”
Mom was a 19 gift giver, but the best gifts we will always remember were her love for 20 and her love for us.
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了作者的母亲喜欢给别人赠送礼物来表达自己的爱意。她用自己的行动表达了爱，传播了生活的美好。
1．A.mattered B．occurred

2．A.wonder B．praise
C．enjoy D．approve
解析：选C 根据该句“She was always thinking about who might 2 what.”并结合常识可知，送礼物要根据别人的喜好，所以作者的母亲会想别人喜欢什么。故选C项。
3．A.thoughtfulness B．sympathy
C．justice D．authority
解析：选A 根据“She was always thinking about who might 2 what.”和空前的“Creativity”可知，作者的母亲经常思考，所送的礼物既要有新意又要很体贴。thoughtfulness 意为“体贴，关切”；sympathy 意为“同情”；justice 意为“公平”；authority意为“权威”。故选A项。
4．A.ignored B．appreciated
C．promised D．resisted
解析：选B 根据第一段的第一句“My mother was a gift giver. ”可知，作者的母亲是一个给予者；结合该句中的“Creativity and 3 went into the gifts she gave, and she 4 a thank?you note.”可知，她很欣赏感谢便条。故B项正确。
5．A.assuming B．abusing
C．stating D．correcting
解析：选C 根据该句中的“Once she sent out notes to her own children and grandchildren who had not acknowledged gifts, 5 that they were now on her ‘Fecal Roster(黑名单)’”可知，有一次她给收到礼物却没有表达感谢的孩子和孙子(女)发了纸条，纸条上说他们现在在她的“黑名单”上。assume 意为“假设”；abuse意为“滥用”；state意为“陈述，说明”；correct意为“纠正”。故选C项。
6．A.once B．after
C．when D．until

7．A.send B．purchase
C．conduct D．obtain
解析：选A 根据上文可知，作者的母亲送礼物的时候，希望得到一句谢谢。send意为“发送”urchase意为“购买”；conduct意为“进行”；obtain意为“获得”。故选A项。
8．A.moment B．chance
C．festival D．holiday
解析：选B 根据第一段第二句中的“Christmas, birthdays, anniversaries or no occasion at all”可知，不只是在节假日，母亲在很多情况下都会准备礼物；结合该句中的“she'd give you another gift the next 8 she had”可知，她会在下一次有机会时赠给你另一件礼物。B项意为“机会”，符合语境。
9．A.mistaken B．bad
C．silly D．ridiculous
解析：选B 她认为没有礼貌是你的问题，而不是她的问题。得到礼物不回谢应该是没有礼貌的行为，故B项符合语境。
