AWith these tips you can finally get a solid night's sleep.Reserve Your BedGet into bed just for sleeping. Avoid working, paying bills, reading, or watching television in bed. If you associate your bed only with sleep, you’ll be more likely to fall asleep.Watch the Caffeine(咖啡因)Too much caffeine throughout the day can cause interrupted sleep. Limit yourself to two cups of tea, coffee, or cola, taken at least 6 hours before bedtime.Tap the Exercise AnswerIn a study from Stanford University School of Medicine, a group of 50- to 76-year-olds who had complained of sleep problems began proper exercise for about half an hour four times a week. Compared with a similar group of people who didn’t exercise, the more active group slept an average of one hour more each night, took less time to fall asleep.Take a BathTake a warm bath an hour or two before bed. Your body temperature will slowly drop after you get out of the tub（浴盆）, making you feel tired. Don’t bathe right before bed, however, because it can briefly stimulate you enough to make it hard to fall asleep.Buy the Right BedA bed that’s too soft can cause poor sleep. Replace your mattress(床垫)if it’s more than ten years old, and buy one that’s as firm as you can tolerate but still comfortable.If 30 minutes go by and you haven’t fallen asleep, don’t lie in bed feeling frustrated. Get up and do something relaxing.1. Which of the following is the best choice if one wants to have a good sleep?A . Drinking as much coffee as possible.B . Buying a beautiful and soft bed.C . Watching TV in bed before going to sleep.D. Taking a warm bath an hour or two before bed.2. Which of the following is the closest in meaning to the underlined word in the last paragraph?A . tired B. excited C. interested D. encouraged3. What is the best title for the passage?A. Take a bath before sleepingB. The importance of a good sleepC. Tips for a good sleepD. How to buy the best bedBI must have looked deep in thought, or as deep in thought as an 11-year-old man can, when my grandmother glanced up from her weeding to ask, "You have something on your mind, don't you?""Yes, I was thinking that someday I want to be an Olympic speed skating champion like my hero, Eric Heiden, I want to be a doctor like my parents and I want to help children in Africa."I immediately knew I had confided in the right person when a knowing smile broke across her face. "Johann, of course! You can do anything you want to do!" she said simply. And with my grandmother's support, I set out to pursue my passions.14 years later, I was well ready to take hold of my first dream: becoming an Olympic champion. The Olympics in 1994 were in my home country, Norway. As I entered the Olympic stadium, I wasn't the best athlete, and many had doubts about my ability to perform well. But I had something special working for me. I had a woman in the first row who believed in me following my passions just as much as I did. For the first time ever, my grandmother was going to see me skate.It happened. Breaking a world record, I won the gold.As I stood on the podium(领奖台) that I had dreamed about my entire life, a curious question popped into my head. Why me? Why did I win, given all the other incredible competitors out there? The reason had to be more thana grandmother who shared a belief in her grandson's dream. The question led me to only one answer: because I wanted to make a difference in the world, and with all the media attention on my success, I could.I immediately knew what that difference had to be: hope in the lives of the children in Africa. Six months earlier, I'd been invited to Eritrea as an ambassador for Olympic Aid.4. When the author spoke out what was on his mind, his grandmother______.A. supported himB. laughed at himC. had no confidence in himD. felt quite surprised5. The author probably realized his first dream at the age of ______.A. 20B. 22C. 25D. 286. What will the author tell us in the part following the passage?A. His efforts in helping the African children.B. His hard training in preparing for the next Olympics.C. His successes at other Olympic games.D. His grandmother’s attitude towards him.7. The whole passage is mainly about ______.A. a young boy who had many dreamsB. the encouragement from a grandmotherC. a sportsman who realized his first dream of helping African childrenD. an Olympic hero who made a difference in the worldCPeople who often eat nuts appear to live longer, according to the latest study of its kind. The findings, published in the New England Journal of Medicine, suggested the greatest benefit was in those eating them on their daily diet.Eating nuts was linked to a healthier lifestyle including being less likely to smoke or be overweight and more likely to exercise. The British Heart Foundation said more research was needed to prove the link, “While this is an interesting link, we need further research to make sure if it's the nuts that protect heart health, or other sides of people’s lifestyle.”The study followed nearly 120,000 people for 30 years. The more regularly people ate nuts, the less likely they were to die during the study. People eating nuts once a week were 11% less likely to have died during the study than those who never ate nuts. Lead researcher Dr. Charles Fuchs, from the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and Brigham and Women’s Hospital, said, “The most obvious benefit was a decrease of 29% in deaths from heart disease, but we also saw a significant reduction of 11% in the danger of dying from cancer.”They suggest nuts are lowering cholesterol(胆固醇) and insulin resistance(胰岛素抗性). Nuts contain unsaturated fat(不饱和脂肪), protein(蛋白质) and several kinds of vitamins and minerals and they can take the place of snacks like chocolate bars, cakes and biscuits.Victoria Taylor, senior expert at the British Heart Foundation, said, “This study shows close connection between regularly eating a small handful of nuts and a lower risk of death from heart disease.” Choosing plain, unsalted foods rather than sweet, salted, or chocolate-covered will keep your salt and sugar intake down.8. According to the passage, what kind of people benefit most from eating nuts?A. Those who eat most nuts at a time.B. Those who eat most nuts.C. Those who eat nuts on their daily diet.D. Those who eat less nuts.9. Which kind of disease had a most decrease for regular nuts eater?A. CancerB. Unknown.C. Stomach diseaseD. Heart disease10. The writer developed the article mainly by__________________.A. the order of timeB. specific examplesC. listing dataD. comparing the difference11. Which section should the passage be taken from the newspaper?A. Science sectionB. Health sectionC. Entertainment sectionD. Tech sectionDThe world’s insects are hurtling down the path to extinction（灭绝）, threatening a “catastrophic collapse(崩溃）of nature’s ecosystems”, according to the first global scientific review. More than 40% of insect species are declining and a third are endangered, the analysis found. The rate of extinction is eight times faster than that of mammals, birds and reptiles.“It should be of huge concern to all of us, for insects are at the heart of every food web, they pollinate(给…传授花粉）the large majority of plant species, keep the soil healthy, recycle nutrients, control pests, and much more. Love them or loathe them, we humans cannot survive without insects, ” said Prof Dave Goulson at the University of Sussex in the UK.The analysis, published in the journal Biological Conservation, says intensive agriculture is the main driver of the declines, particularly the heavy use of pesticides. Urbanization and climate change are also significant factors.One of the biggest impacts of insect loss is on the many birds, reptiles, amphibians and fish that eat insects. A small number of adaptable species are increasing in number, but not nearly enough to outweigh the big losses.Matt Shardlow, at the conservation charity Buglife, said: “It is gravely sobering to see this collation of evidence that demonstrates the pitiful state of the world’s insect populations. It is increasingly obvious that the planet’s ecology is breaking and there is a need for an intense and global effort to stop and reverse these dreadful trends.”12．What does “are hurtling down ”underlined mean?A．To climb very slow in a straight directionB．To move very fast in a particular direction.C．To become lower in value or level quicklyD．To speed up suddenly in a particular direction13．According to the passage what caused the declines of the insects EXCEPT?A．Intensive agriculture B．UrbanizationC．Climate change D．Pests control.14．In paragraph 4, the author wants to stress the decline of insectsA．by giving the examples B．by making the comparisonC．by giving the definition. D．by making the explanation15．What is the main idea of the text?A．Sharply decreasing insects numbers threaten damage of nature.B．The impacts will be brought by the insect loss.C．The effective measures are taken to stop the scary trends.D．The leading factors cause insects decline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。

Her dad, Sgt. Carlos Solis Melendez, surprised her by coming home early from Kuwait and visiting her unannounced at Spring Valley High School in South Carolina.After serving in Kuwait for nine months, Melendez returned home a week earlier than his daughter expected. He held balloons and flowers in a classroom as he sat at a student’s desk to blend in with the crowd. “It came across my mind like, ‘How is she going to react?’〞 he recalled the heartwarming moment. “Is she going to be happy and run to me and hug me, or cry? That was all going on through my mind.〞As unsuspecting Solymar entered the classroom, she was soon overcome with emotion, immediately bursting into tears and covering her mouth. She didn’t talk. She was just crying. She was overwhelmed with everything. She thought it was a dream.Melendez was a single parent so while he was deployed (调动), he got his sister to live with his daughter. When he was coming back and talking to his sister, both of them came to the conclusion that they should do something special for his daughter. Melendez and his sister got in touch with the school, and they planned this thing, and it turned out perfect.The two are very much looking forward to some good daddy–daughter time now that he’s home. “It means everything,〞 Melendez said of being able to surprise his daughter this way. “After all the sacrifices(牺牲) she’s made, she deserves all the special arrangements and special occasions and celebrations. I’ll do anything for my daughter. I believe I’m doing good parenting.〞24.How did Solymar feel at first when entering the classroom?A.She was eager to hug her father.B.She felt everything was as usual.C.She got excited at seeing her father.D.She was surprised by what she saw.25. What was Melendez’s attitude to the surprise?A. Upset.B. Astonished.C. Touched.D. Content.26.Why did Melendez plan the surprise for Solymar?A.To get involved in her school life.B.To show his concern for her in a special way.C.To build a strong emotional bond with her.D.To make up for what she lost in her growth.27.What can be the best title for the passage?’s selfless love for his daughterB.Girl expecting the returning of her dadC.Girl surprised at school by her dad’s returnD.Father and daughter’s expected reunionCNearly everyone is bullied (欺负) at some time in their lives. If you are being bullied, you may feel scared, but you owe it to yourself to try and sort out the situation so that the bullying stops.It is surprising that all sorts of people who are now very successful adults were bullied when they were young. It is encouraging to know that it is possible to succeed, in spite of being bullied at school. All of these well–known people were bullied at school: Phil Collins, Harrison Ford, Tom Cruise and many others.WHAT CAN I DO IF I AM BEING BULLIED?If your school has an anti–bullying system, use it to get help. If you’re not sure how it works, then talk to a teacher. Some schools ignore bullying, but don’t become resigned (听天由命) to being a victim. You can still help yourself and ask others to help you.Tell a friend what is happening. Ask him or her to help you. It will be harder for the bully to pick on you if you have a friend with you for support.Don’t fight back if you can avoid it. Most bullies are bigger or stronger than you. If you fight back you could make the situation worse, get hurt or be blamed for starting the trouble.Try to avoid being alone in the places where you know the bully is likely to pick on you. This might mean changing your route to school, avoiding parts of playground, or only using common rooms when other people are there.Keep a diary of what is happening. Write down the details of the incidents andyour feelings.

Silences may be thoughtful, or they may be empty when a person has nothing to say. A silence in a conversation may also show stubbornness, or worry. Silence may be viewed by some cultural groups as extremely uncomfortable; therefore attempts may be made to fill every gap(间隙)with conversation. Persons in other cultural groups value silence and view it as necessary for understanding a person's needs.Many Native Americans value silence and feel it is a basic part of communicating among people,just as some traditional Chinese and Thai persons do.Therefore, when a person from one of these cultures is speaking and suddenly stops, what maybe implied(暗示) is that the person wants the listener to consider what has been said before continuing. In these cultures, silence is a call for reflection.Other cultures may use silence in other ways, particularly when dealing with conflicts among people or in relationships of people with different amounts of power. For example, Russian, French, and Spanish persons may use silence to show agreement between parties about the topic under discussion. However, Mexicans may use silence when instructions are given by a person in authority rather than be rude to that person by arguing with him or her. In still another use, persons in Asian cultures may view silence as a sign of respect, particularly to an elder or a person in authority.Nurses and other care-givers need to be aware of the possible meanings of silence when they come across the personal anxiety their patients may be experiencing. Nursesshould recognize their own personal and cultural construction of silence so that a patient’s silence is not interrupted too early or allowed to go on unnecessarily.A nurse who understands the healing(治愈) value of silence can use this understanding to assist in the care of patients from their own and from other cultures.32 What does the author say about silence in conversations?A.It implies anger.B. It promotes friendship.C. It is culture-specific.D.It is content-based.33.Which of the following people might regard silence as a call for careful thought?A.The Chinese.B.The French.C.The Mexicans.D.The Africans.34.What does the author advise nurses to do about silence?A.Let it continue as the patient pleases.B.Break it while treating patients.C.Evaluate its harm to patients.D.Make use of its healing effects.35.What may be the best title for the text?A.Sound and SilenceB.What It Means to Be SilentC.Silence to Native AmericansD.Speech Is Silver; Silence Is Gold 第二节(一共5小题 ,每一小题2分,满分是10分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项里面选出能填入空白处的最正确选项.选项里面有两项为多余选项.How to Make Small TalkThere’s nothing small about small talk.Many great friendships andrelationships have started with small talk.

Her dad, Sgt. Carlos Solis Melendez, surprised her by coming home early from Kuwait and visiting her unannounced at Spring Valley High School in South Carolina.After serving in Kuwait for nine months, Melendez returned home a week earlier than his daughter expected. He held balloons and flowers in a classroom as he sat at a student’s desk to blend in with the crowd. “It came across my mind like, ‘How is she going to react?’〞 he recalled the heartwarming moment. “Is she going to be happy and run to me and hug me, or cry? That was all going on through my mind.〞As unsuspecting Solymar entered the classroom, she was soon overcome with emotion, immediately bursting into tears and covering her mouth. She didn’t talk. She was just crying. She was overwhelmed with everything. She thought it was a dream.Melendez was a single parent so while he was deployed (调动(diàodòng)), he got his sister to live with his daughter. When he was coming back and talkingto his sister, both of them came to the conclusion that they should do something special for his daughter. Melendez and his sister got in touch with the school, and they planned this thing, and it turned out perfect.The two are very much looking forward to some good daddy–daughter time now that he’s home. “It means everything,〞 Melendez said of being able to surprise his daughter this way. “After all the sacrifices(牺牲(xīshēng)) she’s made, she deserves all the special arrangements and special occasions and celebrations.

If you are being bullied, you may feel scared, but you owe it to yourself to try and sort out the situation so that the bullying stops.It is surprising that all sorts of people who are now very successful adults were bullied when they were young. It is encouraging to know that it is possible to succeed, in spite of being bullied at school. All of these well–known people were bullied at school: Phil Collins, Harrison Ford, Tom Cruise and many others.WHAT CAN I DO IF I AM BEING BULLIED?If your school has an anti–bullying system, use it to get help. If you’re not sure how it works, then talk to a teacher. Some schools ignore bullying, but don’t become resigned (听天由命(tīng tiān yóu mìng)) to being a victim. You can still help yourself and ask others to help you.Tell a friend what is happening. Ask him or her to help you. It will be harder for the bully to pick on you if you have a friend with you for support.Don’t fight back if you can avoid it. Most bullies are bigger or stronger than you. If you fight back you could make the situation worse, get hurt or beblamed for starting the trouble.Try to avoid being alone in the places where you know the bully is likely to pick on you. This might mean changing your route to school, avoiding parts of playground, or only using common rooms when other people are there.Keep a diary of what is happening. Write down the details of the incidents and your feelings.

But a long time ago, it wasn't easy at all. Before 1750, the idea of skating didn't exist. That changed because of a man named Joseph Merlin. Merlin's work was making musical instruments. In his spare time he liked to play the violin. Joseph Merlin was a man of ideas and dreams. People called him a dreamer.One day Merlin received an invitation to attend a fancy dress ball. He was very pleased and a little excited. As the day of the party came near, Merlin began to think how to make a grand entrance at the party. He had an idea. He thought he would get a lot of attention if he could skate into the room.Merlin tried different ways to make himself roll. Finally, he decided to put two wheels under each shoe. These were the first roller skates. Merlin was very proud of his invention and dreamed of arriving at the party on wheels while playing the violin.On the night of the party Merlin rolled into the room playing his violin. Everyone was astonished to see him. There was just one problem. Merlin had no way to stop his roller skates. He rolled on and on. Suddenly, he ran into a huge mirror that was hanging on the wall. Down fell the mirror, breaking to pieces. Nobody forgot Merlin's grand entrance for a long time!46.

Apples, which are about 85 percent water, grow almost everywhere in the world but the hottest and coldest areas (地区). Among the leading countries in apple production are China, France and the United States.There are various kinds of apples, but a very few make up the majority of those grown for sale. The three most common kinds grown in the United States are Delicious, golden Delicious, and McIntosh.Apples are different in colour, size, and taste. The colour of the skin may be red, green, or yellow. They have various sizes, with Delicious apples being among the largest. The taste may be sweet or tart (酸的). Generally, sweet apples are eaten fresh while tart apples are used to make applesauce (苹酱).Apple trees may grow as tall as twelve metres. They do best in areas that have very cold winters. Although no fruit is yielded during the winter, this cold period is good for the tree.50. It can be learned from the text that Delicious apples are _______________A. grown in France.B. sold everywhere.C. very big.D. quite sweet.51. Cold winter weather is good for _______________A.the growth of apple trees.B. producing large apples.C. improving the taste of apples.D. the increase of water in apples.52. China, France and the United States are considered to _______________A. be large producers of apples.B. be large producers of applesauce.C. have the longest history in apple production.D. have the coldest winter among apple producing countries.53. The word yielded in the last sentence means _______________A. improved.B. increased.C. produced.D. sold.CMaybe ten-year-old Elizabeth put it best when she said to her father, "But, Dad, you can't be healthy if you're dead."Dad, in a hurry to get home before dark so he could go for a run, had forgotten to wear his safety belt-- a mistake 75% of US population make every day. The big question is why.There have been many myths about safety belt ever since their first appearance in cars some forty years ago. The following are three of the most common.Myth the Number One: It's best to be "thrown clear" of a serious accident.Truth: Sorry, but any accident serious enough to "throw you clear" is able going to be serious enough to give you a very bad landing. And chances are you'll havetraveled through a windshield (挡风玻璃)or door to do it. Studies show that chances of dying after a car accident are twenty-five times in cases where people are "thrown clear".Myth Number Two: Safety-bets "trap" people in cars that are burning or sinking in water.Truth: Sorry again, but studies show that people knocked unconscious (昏迷) due to not wearing safety belts have a greater chance of dying in these accidents. People wearing safety belts are usually protected to the point of having in these accidents. People wearing safety belts are usually protected to the point of having a clear head to free themselves from such dangerous situation, not to be trapped in them.Myth Number Three: Safety belts aren't needed at speeds of less than 30 miles per hour (mph).Truth: When two cars traveling at 30 mph hit each other, an unbelted driver would meet the windshield with a force equal to diving headfirst into the ground from a height of 10 metres.54. Why did Elizabeth say to her father, "But, Dad, you can't be healthyif you'redead"?A. He was driving at great speed.B. He was running across the street.C. He didn't have his safety belt on.D. He didn't take his medicine on time.55. The reason father was in a hurry to get home was that he __________.A. wasn't feeling very wellB. hated to drive in the darkC. wanted to take some exerciseD.didn't want to be caught by the people56. Some people prefer to drive without wearing a safety belt because they believe_______.A. the belt prevents them from escaping in an accidentB. they will be unable to think clearly in an accidentC. they will be caught when help comesD. cars catch fire easily57. What is the advice given in the test?A. Never drive faster than 30 miles an hour.B. Try your best to save yourself in a car accident.C. Never forget to wear the safety belt while driving.D. Drive slowly while you're not wearing a safety belt.DNot everyone in the world requires the same amount（量） of living space. The amount of space a person needs around him is a cultural(文化的) difference, not an economic(经济的) one. Knowing your own psychological(心理的) space needs is important because they strongly affect your choices, including, for example, thenumber of bedrooms in the home. If you were brought up in a two-child family and both you and your sister or brother had your own bedrooms, the chances are if you have two children or more, that you also will offer separate bedrooms for them. In America, for example, they train people to want to have their own rooms by giving them their own rooms when they are babies. This is very unusual in the world. In many other countries, the baby sleeps in the same bed with his parents or in bed near them.The space in the home also shows a lot about psychological space needs. Some families gather closer to each other and the size of their house has nothing to do with it. Others have separate little corners where family members go to be alone.Although it is true that psychological space needs are not decided by economic reasons, they sometimes have to be changed a little because of economic pressure （压力）. It is almost impossible, however, to completely change your psychological space needs.58. The first sentence in Paragraph 1 “Not everyone in the world requiresthe amount of space” means “______”.A. Not two people need exactly the same amount of living spaceB. Living space requirements are not always the sameC. The world requires the same amount of living spaceD. Nobody needs a required amount of living space59. Which of the following is true according to the passage?A. Americans are trained to live in the large rooms at birth.B. Economic situation decides one's amount of space needs.C. People in different countries demand(need) differentpsychological space.D. Knowing your psychological space needs is important, as it haseffect on your future.60. The best title for this passage is ______.A. American Way of LivingB. Psychological SpaceC. Space Needs in Different CountriesD. Psychological Space and Economic Pressure第二节（共5小题，每题2分，共10分）Effective reading should adopt a correct way, and then you can get more by paying less. Here are some hints for reading effectively.61．Don't choose a rather difficult book or a too easy one for yourself to read.A book full of new words will make you feel discouraged quickly.To understand those new words, you have to turn to the dictionary quite often.It seems that you are not reading the book but the dictionary.It has no fun at all! On the contrary, a too easy one will only waste your time and cannot do any help.The two extremes may at last make you give up reading.So it's better for you to find a proper book with no more than five new words on each page.62．If you come across a new word, do not look it up in a dictionary as quickly as possible.Leave it alone and guess the meaning of it based on the content of the text. This ability is quite necessary in reading.If you know your guess is right later, you will be highly excited at your “success”， and your interest in reading is well stimulated.If a word really hinders you from understanding the whole passage, turn to the dictionary by then.I am sure you can remember this word very well, as it has left you such a deep impression for its “troublesome image.”63．To comprehend what you are reading, you should think while you are reading, then from your own ideas on some special issues.Try to scribble some lines－a very short journal, to express your ideas.Your writing does not need to be quite formal but expressive.This practice can make you communicate with the original English authors.Day by day, your way of thinking in English will turn into a native way, which is quite important for English writing.64．Language has its own beauty, no matter Chinese or English.Don't merely take English as a “test”．Take it as an “entertainment” instead and you will enjoy it through learning.Maybe you should find some beautiful literary works such as a prose or a poem to read, if you like.Try top read them as loudly and impassionedly as you can.During this process, not only you can enjoy yourself by the great emotions of the writers, but also your pronunciation and your manner of speaking English will be improved.65．The last but not the least, keep on reading.If you cannot keep it as a habit, you will suffer from paying without gaining.第三部分写作（共三节，满分55分）第一节单词拼写（共10小题，每小题1分，共10分）66.

Her dad, Sgt. Carlos Solis Melendez, surprised her by cominghome early from Kuwait and visiting her unannounced at Spring Valley High School in South Carolina.After serving in Kuwait for nine months, Melendez returned home a week earlier than his daughter expected. He held balloons and flowers in a classroom as he sat at a student’s desk to blend in with the crowd. “It came across my mind like, ‘How is she going to react?’” he recalled the heartwarming moment. “Is she going to be happy and run to me and hug me, or cry? That was all going on through my mind.”As unsuspecting Solymar entered the classroom, she was soon overcome with emotion, immediately bursting into tears and covering her mouth. She didn’t talk. She was just crying. She was overwhelmed with everything. She thought it was a dream.Melendez was a single parent so while he was deployed (调动), he got his sister to live with his daughter. When he was coming back and talking to his sister, both of them came to the conclusion that they should do something special for his daughter. Melendez and his sister got in touch with the school, and they planned this thing, and it turned out perfect.The two are very much looking forward to some good daddy–daughter time now that he’s home. “It means everything,” Melendez said of being able to surprise his daughter this way. “After all the sacrifices(牺牲) she’s made, she deserves all the special arrangements and special occasions and celebrations. I’ll do anything for my daughter. I believe I’m doing good parenting.”24.How did Solymar feel at first when entering the classroom?A.She was eager to hug her father.B.She felt everything was as usual.C.She got excited at seeing her father.D.She was surprised by what she saw.25. What was Melendez’s attitude to the surprise?A. Upset.B. Astonished.C. Touched.D. Content.26.Why did Melendez plan the surprise for Solymar?A.To get involved in her school life.B.To show his concern for her in a special way.C.To build a strong emotional bond with her.D.To make up for what she lost in her growth.27.What can be the best title for the passage?A.Father’s selfless love for his daughterB.Girl expecting the returning of her dadC.Girl surprised at school by her dad’s returnD.Father and daughter’s expected reunionCNearly everyone is bullied (欺负) at some time in their lives. If you are being bullied, you may feel scared, but you owe it to yourself to try and sort out the situation so that the bullying stops.It is surprising that all sorts of people who are now very successful adults were bullied when they were young. It is encouraging to know that it is possible to succeed, in spite of being bullied at school. All of these well –known people were bullied at school: Phil Collins, Harrison Ford, Tom Cruise and many others.WHAT CAN I DO IF I AM BEING BULLIED?If your school has an anti–bullying system, use it to get help. If you’re not sure how it works, then talk to a teacher. Some schools ignore bullying, but don’t become resigned (听天由命) to being a victim. You can still help yourself and ask others to help you.Tell a friend what is happening. Ask him or her to help you. It will be harder for the bully to pick on you if you have a friend with you for support.Don’t fight back if you can avoid it. Most bullies are bigger or stronger than you. If you fight back you could make the situation worse, get hurt or be blamed for starting the trouble.Try to avoid being alone in the places where you know the bully is likely to pick on you. This might mean changing your route to school, avoiding parts of playground, or only using common rooms when other people are there.Keep a diary of what is happening. Write down the details of the incidents and your feelings. When you do decide to tell someone, a written record of the bullying makes it easier to prove what has been going on.28.What could be the best title of the passage?A.What to do if bulliedB.How bullying occursC.Fight back when bulliedD.Bullying—whose fault?29.From the first two paragraphs we can infer that_____ .A.bullying seldom happens among peopleB.bullying is very common among peopleC.well–known people used to be bullied when youngD.ordinary people are not likely to be bullied30. When would a person be likely to be bullied?A.When he is with a friend.B.When he is going home by himself.C.When in a room full of people.D.When he is playing on the playground.31. By writing down the details of the incidents, you can______A.change the bad situationB.avoid being bulliedC.easily prove what is happeningD.make the bully scaredDThe meaning of silence varies among cultural groups. Silences may be thoughtful, or they may be empty when a person has nothing to say. A silence in a conversation may also show stubbornness, or worry. Silence may be viewed by some cultural groups as extremely uncomfortable; therefore attempts may be made to fill every gap(间隙)with conversation. Persons in other cultural groups value silence and view it as necessary for understanding a person's needs.Many Native Americans value silence and feel it is a basic part of communicating among people,just as some traditional Chinese and Thai persons do.Therefore, when a person from one of these cultures is speaking and suddenly stops, what maybe implied(暗示) is that the person wants the listener to consider what has been said before continuing. In these cultures, silence is a call for reflection.Other cultures may use silence in other ways, particularly when dealing with conflicts among people or in relationships of people with different amounts of power. For example, Russian, French, and Spanish persons may use silence to show agreement between parties about the topic under discussion. However, Mexicans may use silence when instructions are given by a person in authority rather than be rude to that person by arguing with him or her. In still another use, persons in Asian cultures may view silence as a sign of respect, particularly to an elder or a person in authority.Nurses and other care-givers need to be aware of the possible meaningsof silence when they come across the personal anxiety their patients may be experiencing. Nurses should recognize their own personal and cultural construction of silence so that a patient’s silence is not interrupted too early or allowed to go on unnecessarily. A nurse who understands the healing(治愈) value of silence can use this understanding to assist in the care of patients from their own and from other cultures.32 What does the author say about silence in conversations?A.It implies anger.B. It promotes friendship.C. It is culture-specific.D.It is content-based.33.Which of the following people might regard silence as a call for careful thought?A.The Chinese.B.The French.C.The Mexicans.D.The Africans.34.What does the author advise nurses to do about silence?A.Let it continue as the patient pleases.B.Break it while treating patients.C.Evaluate its harm to patients.D.Make use of its healing effects.35.What may be the best title for the text?A.Sound and SilenceB.What It Means to Be SilentC.Silence to Native AmericansD.Speech Is Silver; Silence Is Gold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.选项中有两项为多余选项.How to Make Small TalkThere’s nothing small about small talk.Many great friendships and relationships have started with small talk. Small talk helps you build ameaningful relationship with a person. __ 36 If you want to know how to master small talk, just follow these steps.37 If you want to make a person feel comfortable, the best thing to do is to have an “open attitude” and to direct your body toward that person without being too forceful. Just make eye contact, don’t cross your arms, and face your shoulders toward that person. This will make the person feel like you’re giving him all of your attention.Put away your phone. There’s nothing more annoying than talking to a person who is constantly checking his cellphone.Though you should look eager to talk to the person, don’t look to eager.
