He liked it so very much that he quickly walked into the shop. After looks at the toy for some time, he turned around and found where his parents were missing. Tony was scared and begun to cry.A woman saw him crying and telling him to wait outside a shop. Five minutes later, Tony saw parents. Mom said, “How nice to see you again! Dad and I were terrible worried.” Tony promised her that this would never happen again.(2015·全国卷Ⅱ·阅读理解B)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 self-conscious (难为情) when they’re in poorly lit pl aces—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 12-inch plate instead of a 10-inch 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.25. The text is especially helpful for those who care about .A. their home comfortsB. their body shapeC. house buyingD. healthy diets26. A home environment in blue can help people .A. digest food betterB. reduce food intakeC. burn more caloriesD. regain their appetites27. What are people advised to do at mealtimes?A. Eat quickly.B. Play fast music.C. Use smaller spoons.D. Turn down the lights.28. What can be a suitable title for the text?A. Is Your House Making You Fat?B. Ways of Serving DinnerC. Effects of Self-ConsciousnessD. Is Your Home Environment Relaxing?(2015·全国卷Ⅱ·阅读第二节)Training for a marathon requires careful preparation and steady, gradual increases in the length of the runs. 36 , buy the best-fitting, best-built running shoes you can find. No one can say which brand will work best for you or feel best on your feet, so you have to rely on your experience and on the feel of each pair as you shop. When you have found shoes that seem right, walk in them for a few days to double-check the fit. 37 . As always, you should stretch (伸展) at least ten minutes before each run to prevent injuries.During the first week, do not think about distance, but run five minutes longer each day. 38 , it is wise to take a day off to rest. But during the next week, set a goal of at least a mile and a half per run.39 . After two weeks, start timing yourself. 40 . Depending on the kind of race you plan to enter, you can set up a timetable for the remaining weeks before the race.A. After six daysB. For a good marathon runnerC. Before you begin your trainingD. With each day, increase the distance by a half mileE. If they still feel good, you can begin running in themF. Time spent for preparation raises the quality of trainingG.

In addition to their simple beauty, what makes the adobe dwellings admirable is their 63 (able) to “air condition” a house without 64 (use) electric equipment.

Along with more than 300 other seniors, I marched into the stadium on the afternoon of May 10. The audience burst into deafening cheers. The huge stadium shook with all the whistling and clapping.It was as if a Hollywood superstar had walked on stage. And indeed, every single senior that day was a star of the moment. Each deserved it. The seniors had been preparing for four years for this once-in-a-lifetime moment—the commencement (graduation ceremony).Seated, I waited anxiously for the opening address. As a foreign exchange student, I was not able to receive a diploma. However, I still had the wonderful feeling of being part of things. Like the other graduates, I was dressed in marron cap and gown.Our principal, Mr. Glover, delivered a short, warm greeting. The US national anthem followed and then, hands on chests, a solemn Pledge of Allegiance(美国的爱国誓言).Students who had excelled academically gave farewell speeches. The tears in some eyes convinced me that many had deep feelings about the occasion. It was as the class motto says, “Life brings us tears, smiles and memories. The tears dry; the smil es fade; but the memories last forever.”Then came the core (the most important part) of the commencement. Hundreds of names were announced. Each graduate walked across the stage to receive his or her diploma from the principal. From the different cheers each graduate got, we had the funny sense that it was a kind of competition of who could cheer the loudest.To be honest, the presentation of diplomas got boring. A girl sitting next to me even started yawning. But it wasn‟t boring for those receiving the d iploma: they would treasure the moment the principal placed the sacred brown document in their hands for the rest of their lives.A new page in the book of that person‟s life had turned. They were glimpsing their futures: futures of challenge, hardship, perhaps loneliness too, which would take all of their courage.21. What‟s the article mainly about?A. An American high school‟s graduation ceremony.B. The opening ceremony of a sports meeting.C. A presentation of college diplomas.D. A US college‟s farewe ll party.22. Which of the following statements about the author is FALSE?A. She was one of the graduates.B. She was a foreign exchange student.C. She was excited to receive her diploma.D. She felt it great to be at the ceremony.23. The right order of the following events is______.a. Diplomas were presented to graduates.b. Students gave farewell speeches.c. The US national anthem was played.d. The principal gave a short, warm speech.e. Seniors went into the stadium.A. b,c,a,d,eB. c,d,b,e,aC. d,b,e,a,cD. e,d,c,b,a24. From the text, we can conclude that_______.A. a diploma ensures a good jobB. a diploma guarantees a bright futureC. the commencement symbolizes the beginning of a new stage in lifeD. everyone felt excited at the presentation of the diplomaBThe secrets of happiness all lie in your Operating System. The trouble is that we get blinded by our Operating System. This is because our Operating System attempts to fit what‟s happening around us into our Operating System‟s expectations. Anything different is resisted as much as it can be.So your Operation System is always going to be riddled with flaws(缺点) and errors. It‟s in it‟s nature. This is where all progress and evolution comes from . Every flaw and bug you discover and fix in the Operating System is another leap forward in the quality of your life.The evolution of society comes from the fact that each generation rebels against the previous one. And so each generation discovers a flaw and caused an upgrade in our cultural Operating System.The established order in every field and every area of life will find itself challenged. And over time more and more flaws will be discovered about what we previously believed to be facts. This is how life progresses and advances.Now every day across the world there are hundreds of instances where people are making new discoveries and overturning old beliefs. This is the process of life.If you want something that you don‟t have ---it‟s your Op erating system that is blocking it off to you. This means you have to identify the flaw in your Operating System that is blocking you from having what you want. Then you transform the structure of your Operating System to let it in.Opportunities are around you all the time. There is never a boat that you must catch. There is another boarding all the time. It is only the fact that you aren‟t seeing the opportunities that stops you from getting what you want.Upgrading your Operating System is training it to show you the opportunities all aroundyou. And then life is like picking fruit from a tree.25. According to the passage, our Operating System ______.A. resists valuable things as more as possibleB. neglects everything that happens around usC. always attempts to meet its expectationsD. is not essential to our happiness sometimes26. The underlined part “be riddled with” in Paragraph 2 can be replaced by ______.A. be opposed toB. be free fromC. be friends withD. be full of27. If you want to improve the quality of your life, you should _______.A. avoid mistakes in your everyday lifeB. discover flaws in your Operating SystemC. take all the information around youD. take a suspecting attitude towards life28. According to the author, our society progresses because _____.A. the young approve of what their ancestors didB. younger generations put the wrong things rightC. computers have undated the old Operating SystemD. old computers are constantly replaced by new onesCYou never see them, but they‟re with you every time you fly. They record where you are going, how fast you‟re traveling and whether everything on your airplane is functioning normally. Their ability to withstand almost any disaster makes them seem like something out of a comic book. They‟re known as the black box.When planes fall from the sky, as a Yemeni airliner did on its way to Comoros Islands in the India ocean on June 30, 2009, the black box is the best bet for identifying what went wrong. So when a French Submarine(潜水艇) detected the device‟s homing signal five days later, the discovery marked a huge toward determining the cause of a tragedy in which 152 passengers were killed.In 1958, Australian scientist David Warren developed a flight-memory recorder that would track basic information like altitude and direction. That was the first mode for a black box, which became a requirement on all U.S. commercial flights by 1960. Early models often failed to withstand crashes, however, so in 1965 the device was completely redesigned and moved to the rear of the plane ---the area least subject to impact --- from its original position in the landing wells(起落架舱). The same year, the Federal Aviation Authority required that the boxes, which were never actually black, be painted orange or yellow to aid visibility.Modern airplanes have two black boxes: a voice recorder, which tracks pilots‟ conversations, and a flight-data recorder, which monitors fuel levels, engine noises and other operating functions that help investigators reconstruct the aircraft‟s final moments. Placed in an insulated(隔绝的) case and surrounded by a quarter-inch-thick panels of stainless steel, the boxes can withstand massive force and temperature up to 20,000 ft. Experts believe the boxes from Air France Flight 447, which crashed near Brazil on June 1, 2009, are in water nearly that deep, but statistics say they‟re still likely to turn up. In the approximately 20 deep-seacrashes over the past 30 years, only one plane‟s black boxes were never recovered.29. In paragraph 1, the author wants say the black box ______.A. is an necessary device on an airplaneB. comes from a comic bookC. can prevent disasterD. can control the function of an airplane30. Why was the black box redesigned in 1965?A. New materials became available by that timeB. The early models often got damaged in the crashC. Too much space was needed for its deviceD. The early models didn‟t provide the needed data.31. The black boxes were painted orange or yellow to ______.A. distinguish them from the color of the planeB. warn people to handle them with careC. make them easily identifiedD. obey the international standards32. What do we know about the black boxes from Air France Flight 447?A. There is still a good chance of their being recoveredB. There is an urgent need for them to be reconstructedC. They have stopped sending homing signalsD. They were destroyed somewhere near BrazilDHilary Smith belonged to a good family. But by the age of twenty, he had spent all the money the good old family had. He then had some trouble with the bank and was put in prison. He escaped from the prison and ran to Australia without delay.Hilary did not like Australia and Australia did not like Hilary. What he could do seemed to be one of two things: die or work. Then he remembered that he was not alone in the world. He had an aunt.She was his father‟s only sister, but his f ather used to say she brought no glory to the family. Hilary, of course, tired to discover what she had done. It seemed that she had failed to marry a nobleman. Instead, she had chosen a husband who was connected with “trade”. Of course as soon as she beca me “Mrs. Parks”, her brother considered her dead. Later on, Mr. Parks died and left her a lot of money; but that did not bring her back to life in her brother‟s opinion.Hilary discovered his aunt‟s address. Fortunately she remained faithful and honest to him even after she fell ill. So Hilary‟s star shone again, and soon he moved into her house and lived as comfortably as a sailor who had just reached harbor. He had only about a sixpence in his pocket.One thing was soon clear: his aunt was seriously ill, and nothing could cure her illness. Hilary was very worried. Fate had found a home for him, and was now going to throw out of it. There was only one thing that could save him: her will.“Will?” she said, “yes, I have made one. That was when I was a girl and had not much money. I left all my money to some religious people.”“Didn‟t you make another will when you were married?” Hilary asked.His aunt shook her head. “No,” she said in a low voice. “There was no need. When I finally had a lot of money I found I had no relations.”On the next day he went to the public library and examined a book of law. It told him what he already believed. When a woman is married, an earlier will loses its value. A new will must be made. If no new will is made, the money goes to the nearest relation. Hilary knew that he was his aunt‟s only relation. His future was safe.After a few months had passed, Hilary‟s problems became serious. He badly needed money. He had expensive tastes, and owed a lot of money to shopkeepers. They trusted him because his aunt was rich; but the debt was terrible.Unfortunately his aunt did not want to discuss money matters at all. In the end they had a quarrel about the small amount of ten pounds. Hilary was not very angry. He began to wonder about a new problem. Was it kind to want his aunt to live any longer? Was it not better for her to die now? While he was considering what to do, his aunt told him that she was going to send for her lawyer. So she was going to make a new will, Hilary thought. She might leave all her money to someone else. Soon he reached a clear conclusion. He must do a great kindness to the poor old woman.One night when the old servant who had been nursing his aunt went off, he doubled the amount of some medicine. The total amount was too great and it could just put her to sleep forever.“Thank you,” his aunt took the glass from his hand with a grateful look. “I want, more than anything, to sleep, and never to wake up again. Is that what you wish, Hilary? Don‟t blame me if I have some doubts about what you intended to do. Sick people get these ideas, you know. One thing I ought to explain to you. Mr. Parks never married me. He already had a wife and couldn‟t marry again. That made your foolish father very angry with me. Well, if I am alive tomorrow I shall make another will in your favor. If I die tonight, you will get nothing. No, Hilary, don‟t try to take the glass away. If you do that, I shall know; and I don‟t want to know. Good night, Hilary.Then, very carefully, she raised the glass to her mouth and drank.33. From the story, we learn that Hilary‟s aunt was ______.A. bad-tempered and lonelyB. kind-hearted and wiseC. careless about moneyD. Cruel to her niece34. The underlined sentence “He must do a great kindness to the poor old woman.” In paragraph 11 suggests that Hilary Smith ______.A. was determined to put his aunt‟s life to an endB. decide to do his aunt a favor to call in a lawyerC. made up his mind to take good care of his auntD. would help his aunt to donate all her money to religious people35. Which of the following is the focus of the story?A. Hilary‟s aunt‟s moneyB. Hilary Smith‟s debtsC. The intended murderD. Hilary‟s aunt‟s marriage第二节(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,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

AAs we know, many teen celebrities(名人) feel and think that having a slimmer figure can do great goo d to them. But, does size really matter? Are teenage fans trying hard to become like their celebrity idols(偶像)? Do celebrities really have the power to influence people, e specially teenagers?For the longest time, many parents blame teen idols for influenc ing the way their kids act. Have you noticed how teens idolize t he celebrities these days? Even, their personal affairs are being followed by kids these days. Take for example the case of Lind say Lohan of Mary Kate Ashley. They are definitely famous tee n stars. But, since they are trying to project an image to satisfy a lot of people in show business, their health and body suffer. M any kids are aware of this problem. But they are easily influenc ed by these celebrities to exercise and eat less.It is a fact that the media, and especially famous teen celebrities, can influence people powerfully. But teenagers are easily infl uenced because teenage years are the period when our person ality and identity developments take place. Teens watching TV shows and reading magazines are easily pulled into the dieting and harmful eating habits because the media have some ways t o pull these acts. They use thin models and celebrities to endor se(做广告宣传) products or to star in an up-and –coming shows or movies. With fierce competition, celebrities ar e forced to eat less and do extreme exercise routines to get the roles or offers that come their way.Living in today’s time and generation is a bit disturbing to a lot o f parents. Media, especially as well as the celebrities, have a ve ry powerful influence to drive teenagers to good or bad. It’s goo d that we can control ourselves to avoid bad things from happe ning. If not, parents should really be aware and guide their teen s to determine what’s in ad what’s out.21.

They are tired of school.B. Their celebrity idols appea r in many TV shows.C. They’re in their development period.D. They have nothing t o do in their spare time23 Many celebrities have to be on diet .A. to keep healthy to face competitionB. to survive under pressureC. to keep a slim sizeD. to satisfy th eir teenage fans24 What’s the title of the passage?A. Parents’ responsibilities.B. Advice on self-control.C. Bad influences of celebrities.D. Media’s bad inf luences.BThroughout history, gold has been a sign of purity, beauty and power. Calling something golden means it has great quality an d value. For example, the golden rule is possibly the world's mo st widespread moral rule. It says people should treat others the way they themselves would like to be treated. Every major relig ion has its own version of this idea.The golden ratio is found in art, architecture and nature. It describes a rectangle with a length about one and one-half times its width. Objects using this ratio in their design seem to please the eye more than others.Philosophers(哲学家) have their own golden idea. The golden mean says mode ration in all things is the best way to live one's life. It is an idea l inked to the Ancient Greek philosopher Aristotle. Similar thoug hts exist in Buddhism and Confucianism.(哲学思想)Ancient Greek myths told of a time long ago when people lived i n peace and happiness. Poets called it the Golden Age. A gol den age now describes a historical period of great artistic, scien tific or economic progress. It can even recall a time of success and popularity for an industry. For example, the nineteen thirtie s and forties were called the Golden Age of Radio.You may have heard the proverb silence is golden. This mea ns silence is of great value. It is sometimes better to say nothin g than to speak.You might say your child was good as gold when he behaved well at school. British writer Charles Dickens used this express ion in eighteen forty-three. He was describing the child Tiny Tim in the book "A Chris tmas Carol."In nineteen thirty-seven, American playwright Clifford Odets wrote a play called " The Golden Boy." This expression describes a young man who has many good qualities and a bright future.You might tell someone you are golden when that person doe s something very well.Gold digger is another description. But this does not say som ething nice about a person. A gold digger is someone who see ks to marry a rich person because he or she is only interested i n that person's money.Maybe you like old songs from the nineteen fifties or sixties th at are still well known and popular today. These are called gold en oldies. In the nineteen eighties and nineties, an American tel evision comedy series told about four older women living in , . The Golden Girls often dealt with social issues in a funny way. Today, most older people look forward to reaching their golden years. This is when hard-working people can retire to a life of ease and fulfillment.25 .According to the “golden ratio”, which of the following objec ts in the most pleasant to see?26 .The article mainly tells us ___A .the value of gold B. the expressions with “gold”C .the history of gold industry D. the purity, beauty and power of gold27 .Which of the following statements is made out of place?A. The beauty of tolerance and kindness comes from the Conf ucianism philosophical thought ,such as Golden Mean.B. At the beginning of the twenty first century computer reache d its Golden Age.C. She only dates guys with money. She’s a Gold Digger.D. My grandfather is 65 and is looking forward to reaching his Golden Ages28 .What we can infer from the passage is that ___A. all the expressions in the article are positive descriptionB. the “golden mean” is an idea linked to the Ancient Greek ph ilowpher AristotleC. the “golden oldies” refers to the popular soon in the 1950s o r 60s which are not well-know todayD. in their golden yearw, older people can still work hard before their retireCAfter moving to the , immigrant groups trying to fit in tend to ch oose high-calorie, fatty foods in an attempt to appear more American, a new study finds. That's one reason why immigrants approach U.S. levels of obesity within 15 years of moving to .The researchers also did an experiment that measured whether or not the threat of appearing un-American influenced respondents' food choices.After being qu estioned about their ability to speak English,75 percent of Asian-Americans identified a typical American food as their favorite. O nly 25 percent of Asian-Americans who had not been asked if they spoke English did th e same.When their American identity was called into question during a f ollow-up study, Asian-American participants also tended to choose typical American d ishes, such as hamburgers and grilled cheese sandwiches, ove r more Asian fare. In that experiment, 55 Asian-Americans were asked to choose a meal from a local Asian or American restaurant. Some participants were told that only Am ericans could participate in the study. Those who chose the mor e typical American fare ended up consuming an extra 182 calori es, including 12 grams of fat and seven grams of saturated fat(饱和脂肪)."People who feel like they need to prove they belong in a culture will change their habits in an attempt to fit in," said Sapna Che ryan, an author of the study and assistant professor of psycholo gy at the of . "If immigrants and their children choose unhealthy American foods over healthier traditional foods across their live s, this process of fitting in could lead to poorer health," Cheryan added.Social pressures, the study concluded, are at the heart of the pr oblem. "In American society today, being American is associate d with being white. Americans who don't fit this image even if th ey were born here and speak English feel that pressure to prove that they're American," said Cheryan.29 According to the survey, _____.A. Asia-Americans care less about their health.B. 25 percent of Americans like junk food.C. choosing food is related to Asian-American’s situationD. immigrants are forced to eat junk food.30 The underlined word “fare” in Paragraph 3 most probably m eans “_____”A. food offered as a mealB. a person taking a taxiC. money spent on foodD. an arranged thing to do31 According to Sauna Cheryan, ________.A. what immigrants have done is ridiculousB. American traditional foods are healthierC. immigrants risk their health in order to fit inD. American cul ture affects immigrants deeply32 Which of the following should take the blame for the bad eat ing habit?A. The situation of employmentB. The traditional cultureC. The American governmentD. The pressures from societyDStaying silent can be just as powerful as the words you mean t o say, like when the act of hugging will be more comforting than saying, “Sorry for your loss.”Another time when silence is golden is when you are unsure of what to say. If you are confused about your own feelings concer ning a matter, it’s best to stay quiet until you are more certain b ecause more harm can be done by revealing false or exaggerat ed feelingsChoose silence instead of blurting out ‘in-the-moment’ feelings that are hurtful and not really how you feel in t he grand scheme of things. When you feel the urge to say an u nkind thing, take a few breaths and think of the possible consequences of your words.Silence can be your best friend during negotiations. Say your pi ece, then close your mouth, and let the other person come to th eir own conclusions. Your silence shows that one, you are confi dent in what you just said, and two, you respect the other perso n enough to hear what they have to say.Sometimes silence is the best and most timely solution becaus e the other person is not in a position to hear what you have to say. For example, when a friend needs for you to listen to her p roblems, but she is unable to accept your advice at that momen t.Practice being silent at work when you don’t have anything mea ningful to contribute. Unless you can elevate the conversation b y pointing out something interesting, missing, or beneficial, it’s b est to just observe and learn.Finally, silence is golden when you don’t want to engage in a fo ol’s argument. As some squabbles will never be resolved, one must agree to disagree.However, there will be times in your life where you will need t he power of your voice, the voice within you that wants and nee ds to be respected and appreciated.33 .The passage mainly tells us about ___A. when to stay silentB. why to stay silentC. how to stay silentD. whether or not to stay silent34 .What is the best to do during negotiation?A. Grasp every chance to say more than the otherB. Close your mouth and just listen to the otherC. Say what you could and draw a conclusionD .Speak out your own points and let the other speak out theirs35 What does the underlined word “elevate” most probably me an?start B. conclude C. interrupt D .cancel七选五根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

Don’ tbe upset about that, as it is not rare for foreigners to have such problems.There are many reasons for it. A lack of cultural background knowledge may result in misunderstanding. What ’s worse, the English translation of the lines may not be exact enoughto convey their original meanings, which often confuses foreigners.To have a better understanding of a Chinese film, before seeing it, you can make a careful study of its background through the Internet or related materials. Besides, turn to me wheneveryou feel puzzled.

高考题型每天必练5 (2015全国卷英语I)
高考题型每天必练(5) Name__________ (2015·全国卷Ⅰ·短文改错)When I was a child, I hoped to live in the city. I think I would be happy there. Now I am living in a city, but I miss my home in countryside. There the air is clean or the mountains are green. Unfortunately, on the development of industrialization, the environment has been polluted. Lots of studies have been shown that global warming has already become a very seriously problem. The airs we breathe in is getting dirtier and dirtier. Much rare animals are dying out. We must found ways to protect your environment. If we fail to do so, we‟ll live to regret it.(2015·全国卷Ⅰ·阅读理解D)Conflict is on the menu tonight at the cafe La Chope. This evening, as on every Thursday night, psychologist Maud Lehanne is leading two of France‟s favorite pastimes, coffee drinki ng and the “talking cure”. Here they are learning to get in touch with their true feelings. It isn‟t always easy. The customers—some thirty Parisians who pay just under $2 (plus drinks) per session—are quick to intellectualize (高谈阔论), slow to open up and c onnect. “You are forbidden to say…one feels,‟ or …people think‟,” Lehanne told them. “Say…I think,‟…Think me‟.”A cafe society where no intellectualizing is allowed? It couldn‟t seem more un-French. But Lehanne‟s psychology cafe is about more than kn owing oneself: It‟s trying to help the city‟s troubled neighborhood cafes. Over the years, Parisian cafes have fallen victim to changes in the French lifestyle—longer working hours, a fast-food boom and a younger generation‟s desire to spend more time at h ome. Dozens of new theme cafes appear to change the situation. Cafes focused around psychology, history, and engineering are catching on, filling tables well into the evening.The city‟s“psychology cafes”, which offer great comfort, are among the most popular places. Middle-aged homemakers, retirees, and the unemployed come to such cafes to talk about love, anger, and dreams with a psychologist. And they come to Lehanne‟s group just to learn to say what they feel. “There‟s a strong need in Paris for com munication,” says Maurice Frisch, a cafe La Chope regular who works as a religious instructor in a nearby church. “People have few real friends. And they need to open up.” Lehanne says she‟d like to see psychology cafes all over France. “If people had normal lives, these cafes wouldn‟t exist,” she says. “If life weren‟t a battle, people wouldn‟t need a special place just to speak.” But then, it wouldn‟t be France.32. What are people encouraged to do at the cafe La Chope?A. Learn a new subject.B. Keep in touch with friends.C. Show off their knowledge.D. Express their true feelings.33. How are cafes affected by French lifestyle changes?A. They have bigger night crowds.B. They stay open for longer hours.C. They are less frequently visited.D. They start to serve fast food.34. What are theme cafes expected to do?A. Save the cafe business.B. Supply better drinks.C. Create more jobs.D. Serve the neighborhood.35. Why are psychology cafes becoming popular in Paris?A. They bring people true friendship.B. They give people spiritual support.C. They help people realize their dreams.D. They offer a platform for business links.(2015·全国卷Ⅰ·阅读第二节)Building Trust in a Relationship AgainTrust is a learned behavior that we gain from past experiences. 36 Trust is a risk. But you can‟t be successful when there‟s a lack of trust in a relationship that results from an action where the wrongdoer takes no responsibility to fix the mistake.Unfortunately, we‟ve all been victims of betrayal. Whether we‟ve been stolen from, lied to, misled, or cheated on, there are different levels of losing trust. Sometimes people simply can‟t trust anymore.37 It‟s understandable, but if you‟re willing to build trust in a relationship again, we have some steps you can take to get you there.●38 Having confidence in yourself will help you make better choices because you can see what the best outcome would be for your well-being.●39 If you‟ve been betrayed, you are the victim of your circumstance. But there‟s a difference between being a v ictim and living with a “victim mentality”. At some point in all of our lives, we‟ll have our trust tested or violated.●You didn‟t lose “everything”.
