Question

Anna was excited about starting her first day in the new school. However, when she first walked past the students in the school, her excitement turned to fear, and then to loneliness(孤独)over the next few days. "Why didn’t anyone say ’hi’ to me or invite me to his or her lunch table? Is it because of my clothes or my hair?" she wondered. Almost every day during the first week, Anna stayed alone, thinking that there must have been something wrong with her or that nobody saw her at all!
What caused Anna’s problem? The reason was that nobody knew her. Most people don’t like talking with strangers (陌生人). So it’s your job to volunteer to make contact with people who you want to know. The easiest way to catch their attention is to notice them first. Make eye contact with them and smile at them. When you smile at them, you are doing your best to show your kindness to them, and they are sure to understand that you are saying, "Hey, how’s everything going?" In this way, you are taking the first step towards the road to friendship.
When Anna realized this, she started talking to her classmates. Guess what happened? It really worked. She had made two friends by the end of the month.
In fact, saying “hi” or making friends with strangers is not hard. And the joy it brings you is really great. So try to open your heart to strangers!

Answer 1

BDACB
1.属于综合归纳题，文章主要是说Anna刚去学校时，没有人和她交流，她感觉很孤独。A是说她害怕去新的学校，显然不对；C是说她不喜欢与陌生人交朋友，也不对；D是说她的同学不喜欢她的衣饰和头发。综上，答案选B。
2.属于细节题，文章提到“her excitement turned to fear, and then to loneliness(孤独)over the next few days”，所以答案选D。
3.属于细节题，文章提到“The easiest way to catch their attention is to notice them first”，所以答案选A。
4.属于综合推断题，A说年轻人难以相处融洽，显然说法太绝对；B说孤独是目前很常见的问题，文中并未这样说；D说通往友谊之路的第一步总是很难，这个文章中“saying “hi” or making friends with strangers is not hard”相互矛盾。综上，答案选C，向陌生人敞开心扉有助于结交朋友。
5.属于词意推断题，contact出现在文章中“ So it’s your job to volunteer to make contact with people who you want to know”，结合上下文，结交朋友就是要主动和他人交流，所以答案选B。
