第一部分阅读理解（共两题，满分35分）

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

A
True friendship is like sound health; the value of it is seldom known until it is lost. —Charles Caleb Colton.
Just like in any other relationship, arguments and fights are also a part of friendship. You will hardly find friends who have never fought with one another. Whatever the reason is, if a person feels that he is responsible for creating the differences, it is important that he apologizes to his friend.
Though you can use the email, text messages or chat for expressing your apology, the good old way of saying sorry to your friend through a letter will surely have a great effect on him. This will make your friend realize that your efforts of saying sorry are genuine and you really care for him.
Points to Remember:
Timing: Write the letter at the proper time. It is not advisable to put off it for too long.
Words: While writing the letter, what matters the most is that you truly feel sorry.
Sequence: Always begin by apologizing and saying sorry for your mistake. Then explain to him your side of the story. In the third and last paragraph, talk about what his friendship means to you and make a promise of not repeating the mistake.
Delivery: You can either post it or deliver the letter personally or through someone else. You can also keep it at a location where your friend will be able to find it easily.
Some people may try to point out the friend’s mistake while writing the letter. Avoid this completely, as it can make matters worse. The letter has to be brief and should only talk about the subject that has led to your apology. Keep patient and do not expect immediate results. In some cases, it may take time for the person to forgive and forget.
1. The saying in the first paragraph is used to ________.
A. let readers study a famous saying
B. introduce the topic of the passage
C. show who is Charles Caleb Colton
D. tell readers the importance of friends
2. From the passage, we can know that the writer advises using ________ to apologize.
A. the email
B. text messages
C. chat online
D. letters
3. When writing a letter of apology, you should ________.
A. try to point out the friend’s mistake
B. make the letter long and interesting
C. begin by apologizing and saying sorry for your mistake
D. write the importance of your friendship in the first paragraph
B
I work with Volunteers for Wildlife, a rescue and education organization at Bailey Arboretum in Locust Valley. Trying to help injured, displaced or sick creatures can be heartbreaking; survival is never certain. However, when it works, it is simply beautiful.
I got a rescue call from a woman in Muttontown. She had found a young owl（猫头鹰）on the ground. When I arrived, I saw a 2­ to­3­week­old owl. It had already been placed in a carrier for safety.
I examined the chick（雏鸟）and it seemed fine. If I could locate the nest, I might have been able to put it back, but no luck. My next work was to construct a nest and anchor it in a tree.
The homeowner was very helpful. A wire basket was found. I put some pine branches into the basket to make this nest safe and comfortable. I placed the chick in the nest, and it quickly calmed down.
Now all that was needed were the parents, but they were absent. I gave the homeowner a recording of the hunger screams of owl chicks. These advertise the presence of chicks to adults; they might also encourage our chick to start calling as well. I gave the owner as much information as possible and headed home to see what news the night might bring.
A nervous night to be sure, but sometimes the spirits of nature smile on us all! The homeowner called to say that the parents had responded to the recordings. I drove over and saw the chick in the nest looking healthy and active. And it was accompanied in the nest by the greatest sight of all—LUNCH! The parents had done their duty and would probably continue to do so.
4. What is unavoidable in the author’s rescue work according to Paragraph 1?
A. Efforts made in vain.
B. Getting injured in his work.
C. Feeling uncertain about his future.
D. Creatures forced out of their homes.
5. Why was the author called to Muttontown?
A. To rescue a woman.
B. To take care of a woman.
C. To look at a baby owl.
D. To cure a young owl.
6. What made the chick calm down?
A. A new nest.
B. Some food.
C. A recording.
D. Its parents.
7. How would the author feel about the outcome of the event?
A. It’s unexpected.
B. It’s beautiful.
C. It’s humorous.
D. It’s discouraging.
C
Your house may have an effect on your figure. Experts say the way you design your home could play a role in whether you pack on the pounds or keep them off. You can make your environment work for you instead of against you. Here are some ways to turn your home into part of your diet plan.
Open the curtains and turn up the lights. Dark environments are more likely to encourage overeating, for people are often less self­conscious（难为情）when they’re in poorly lit places—and so more likely to eat lots of food. If your home doesn’t have enough window light, get more lamps and flood the place with brightness.
Mind the colors. Research suggests warm colors fuel our appetites. In one study, people who ate meals in a blue room consumed 33 percent less than those in a yellow or red room. Warm colors like yellow make food appear more appetizing, while cold colors make us feel less hungry. So when it’s time to repaint, go blue.
Don’t forget the clock—or the radio. People who eat slowly tend to consume about 70 fewer calories（卡路里）per meal than those who rush through their meals. Begin keeping track of the time, and try to make dinner last at least 30 minutes. And while you’re at it, actually sit down to eat. If you need some help slowing down, turn on relaxing music. It makes you less likely to rush through a meal.
Downsize the dishes. Big serving bowls and plates can easily make us fat. We eat about 22 percent more when using a 12­inch plate instead of a 10­inch plate. When we choose a large spoon over a smaller one, total intake（摄入）jumps by 14 percent. And we’ll pour about 30 percent more liquid into a short, wide glass than a tall, skinny glass.
8. The text is especially helpful for those who care about ________.
A. their home comforts
B. their body shape
C. house buying
D. healthy diets
9. What are people advised to do at mealtimes?
A. Eat quickly.
B. Play fast music.
C. Use smaller spoons.
D. Turn down the lights.
10. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Is Your House Making You Fat?
B. Ways of Serving Dinner
C. Effects of Self­consciousness
D. Is Your Home Environment Relaxing?
二、（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）
根据短文内容, 从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

选项中有两项为多余选项。

Gratitude is beneficial to both the one giving and the one receiving. 11 It can be as simple as getting up in the morning and acknowledging that you woke up—not everyone has that benefit.
Instead of getting mad at others, show them gratitude. Make an effort to communicate more effectively instead of being critical. When you are having a hard day at work, take a break and remember some of the good days that you’ve had that month. 12
Research shows that individuals who express gratitude have a more positive outlook on life, better health and less stress; they are more likely to forgive; and they have stronger relationships. 13 Having a gratitude jar reminds us of the feeling we felt when we were “in the moment”. It allows us to be more mindful and present.
To make a gratitude jar, find a decorative vase or fish bowl and start recording all of your happy memories and events throughout the year. Keep some decorative paper close so that you can jot（草草记下）these memories down and place them in the jar. 14 And you can remember all of the good time that you have had throughout the year.
15 Be specific when you reflect back on your memories so that you won’t forget any important details. If possible, be personal and include names when writing down your entries（条目）.
A. You shouldn’t be too critical.
B. Don’t forget that it is only a bad day, not a bad life.
C. Be creative when writing down what you are grateful for.
D. There are many reasons for which to express your gratitude.
E. Don’t forget life’s surprises：unexpected events, visitors, etc.
F. Instead of using a gratitude journal, I started using a gratitude jar.
G. When you are having a bad day, you can reach into your gratitude jar.

阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。

A man came home from work late, tired and irritated（不耐烦的）, to find his 5­year­old son waiting for him at the door.
“Daddy, may I ask you a question?”
“Yeah sure, what is it?” replied the man.
“Daddy, how much do you make an hour?”
“That’s none of your business. Why do you ask such a thing?” the man said angrily.
“I just want to know. Please tell me, how much do you make an hour?” pleaded the little boy.
“If you must know, I make 20 an hour.”
“Oh, ” the little boy replied, with his head down. Looking up, he said, “Daddy, may I please borrow $10?”
The father was angry, “If the only reason you asked that is so you can borrow some money to buy a silly toy or some other nonsense, then you march yourself straight to your room and go to bed. Think about why you are being so selfish. I work hard every day for such childish behavior.” The little boy quietly went to his room and shut the door. The man sat down and, started to get even angrier about the little boy’s questions. How dare he ask such questions only to get some money? After about an hour or so, the man had calmed down, and started to think: Maybe there was something he really needed to buy with that $10 and he really didn’t ask for money very often. The man went to the door of the little boy’s room and opened the door. “Are you asleep, son?” He asked.
“No, Daddy, I’m awake,” replied the boy.
“I’ve been thinking, maybe I was too hard on you earlier,” said the man. “It’s been a long day and I took out my anger on you. Here’s the $10 you asked for.”
The little boy sat straight up, smiling. “Oh. Thank you, Daddy!” He yelled. Then, reaching under his pillow he pulled out some crumpled（皱皱巴巴的）bills.

五、【答案】When I first meet my new friends, I smile and say hello to them. I believe a smile can help us make friends in a world of strangers. Also, I try to help them when necessary.

In my opinion, friends are really important. I just cannot imagine a world without friends.
Best wishes!
六、【答案】
Paragraph 1:
“How can you be so selfish? Why do you want more money since you already have these bills?” The father could hardly hold his anger back and inquired with two eyebrows knitted into one. With held-back tears in his eyes, the little boy slowly and carefully counted out his money, and then looked up at his father, replying, “Because I didn’t have enough before, but now I do.” with his big blue eyes shining with tears.
Paragraph 2:
Wiping away his tears and an innocent smile appearing on his face, the boy requested in a relieved voice, “Daddy, I have $20 now. Can I buy an hour from you? Please come home early tomorrow. I want to have dinner with you.”Hearing the boy’s small but sincere request, the father couldn’t help shedding tears. Realizing he was too busy with his business to spare some time with his beloved ones, he gathered his son into his arms and apologized again and again, “Sorry..., and I promise I’ll be back early tomorrow.”。
