A 35-year-old Australian mother makes around $58, 000 a year by hugging total strangers.

Jessica O' Neill started her unusual job six months ago. “As human beings, one thing we often ignore in our daily lives 【1】(be) physical touch. Without it, we can fall into depression(抑郁)and other mental health 【2】(problem). To meet this need, I’ve become a professional hugging therapist(理疗师).”said Jessica.

Jessica thinks her hugs can help those 【3】(suffer) from loneliness, depression or low self-confidence. “When I hug my customers, I could see their tension and 【4】(anxious) disappear. Then I could get to their heart and do what I can 【5】(cure) them.” Jessica said. “Everyone has the desire to connect with someone. I believe my hug helps 【6】(I) and my customers connect on a spiritual level.” Jessica says the majority of her customers are male, but she has 【7】surprising number of female customers as well.

【8】many people think she must be crazy to do such work, Jessica is【9】(confidence) that she’s made the right choice. “In today’s digital age, many people are lonelier than ever before. Hugging therapy can have an apparent effect 【10】their mental health,” said Jessica.

【答案】

【1】is

【2】problems

【3】suffering

【4】anxiety

【5】to cure

【6】me

【7】a

【8】While/Though/Although

【9】confident

【10】on/upon

【解析】

这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了一位35岁的澳大利亚母亲通过拥抱陌生人，一年挣5.8万美元。她认为她的拥抱能帮助那些遭受孤独、抑郁或低自信的人。

【1】

考查主谓一致。该句中主语为one thing，we often ignore in our daily lives为后置定语修饰one thing，故谓语为第三人称单数形式。故填is。

【2】

考查名词。other译为“别的，其他的”后跟可数名词复数形式，故填problems。

【3】

考查非谓语动词。suffer在该句中为非谓语动词，其逻辑主语为“those”指那些人，二者构成主谓关系，用动词的现在分词形式。故填suffering。

【4】

考查形容词。句意：我拥抱我的顾客时，我可以看到他们的紧张和焦虑消失了。设空处与tension并列作see的宾语，此处应使用名词形式，故将anxious变为anxiety。故填anxiety。

【5】

考查不定式。分析句子可知，what引导的宾语从句中省略了谓语动词do，空格和后面部分在句中做目的状语，应使用动词不定式。故填to cure。

【6】

考查代词。设空处与my customers并列作动词helps的宾语，应用I的宾格me。故填me。

【7】

考查冠词。此处a number of译为“许多、大量”，修饰可数名词的复数形式。故填a。

【8】

考查连词。句意：尽管学多人认为她做这样的工作一定是疯了，杰西卡自信她做出了正确的选择。根据题意可知，此处表达让步关系，应使用连接词though\although\while。故填While\Although\Though。

【9】

考查形容词。设空处在系动词后作表语，应使用confidence的形容词形式confident。故填confident。

【10】

考查介词。此处考查have an effect on\upon sb\sth译为“对某人或某事产生影响”，为固定搭配。故填on\upon。

Dear Peter,

I'm glad to hear from you. Thank you very much for inviting me to America in this summer. I'd like to accept your warm invitation, and I'm sorry that I can't go to your hometown and visit you.

I refuse your invitation just due to the following reason. First of all, it cost a lot to travel abroad, which will add an extra burden to my family. Beside, I plan to do part-time job in the summer vacation. I can not only earn some money to cover my expenses but improving my social skills. For the reasons mentioning above, I believe you can understand how I can't accept your invitation. I hope this won't affect our friendship from the bottom of your heart.

Yours,

Li Hua

I’ve learned from the newspaper that your company is looking for assistant. I’m very interesting in the job and I’d like to apply to the position. First of all, allow me to introduce myself. I had just graduated from high school and taken the University Entrance Examination. I want to find out a part-time job in the summer. I am 18 year old and have a good command of English, especial in terms of speaking and listening. In fact, I once won the first prize in an English speech contest holding in our school. Furthermore, I’m quite easy-going but therefore very popular among my classmates. I sincerely hope you can give us a chance. I’m looking forward to your early reply.

【题目】 There are many gardening tips. Some suggest playing music for your house plants, having conversations with them, or even giving them a gentle touch now and then. Most of these practices are probably more for the benefit of the gardener than the garden, and generally harmless enough but except the last one. Your plants really dislike it when you touch them.

A new study out of the La Trobe Institute for Agriculture and Food has found that most plants are extremely sensitive to touch, and even a light touch can significantly stunt(阻碍) their growth. “The lightest touch from a human, animal, insect, or even plants touching each other in the wind, can cause a huge gene response in the plant,” Jim Whelan, who led the new study, said. “Within 30 minutes of being touched, 10% of the plant’s genome(基因组) is changed. This involves a huge expenditure(消耗) of energy which is taken away from plant growth. If the touching is repeated, then plant growth is reduced by up to 30%.”

Whelan and his team are still trying to find out why plants respond, at the genetic level, so strongly. They do have some theories, however. We know that when an insect lands on a plant, genes are activated(激活) preparing the plant to defend itself against being eaten ,” said Dr. Yan Wang, co-author of the study.

Until more research is done, it’s just a guess at this point. Still, the findings might already lead to new methods for how agriculturalists deal with their crops, to best promote healthier growth.

It’s worth noticing that while the study found that plants often respond to just a single touch in negative ways, it’s really repeated touching that causes lasting stunted growth. That’s because the plants are looking for patterns in the touching, to tell harmful touch from random touch. So it doesn’t matter if you accidently brush up against a bush during a walk through the woods.

【1】How is the passage mainly developed?

A.By comparing

B.By giving examples

C.By listing numbers

D.By showing results of studies

【2】Why can touching stunt a plant growing according to the study?

A.It leads to the plant’s energy expenditure.

B.It makes the plant sensitive to threats.

C.It causes a genetic disorder in the plant.

D.It prevents the plant absorbing nutrients.

【3】What’s the importance of the study by Whelan and his team?

A.It gives us more useful gardening tips.

B.It helps find ways to ensure plants’ healthy growth.

C.It contributes to the further study on genes.

D.It uses data to warn people not to touch plants.

【4】What is the passage mainly about?

A.Something is done to help plants grow.

B.Plants’ genome can be changed easily.

C.Plants don’t really like to be touched.

D.What we do every day may destroy plants.

【题目】Monkeys surprise us

Humans are the most intelligent animals on Earth. 【1】But sometimes, our way of thinking can become an obstacle (障碍).

Julia Watzek, a graduate student in psychology at Georgia State University, US, recently did some research on the problem-solving abilities of both monkeys and humans.【2】They intended to test their ability to change their strategies(策略) in the game. In this game, each player was shown four squares on a computer screen: one striped square, one spotted square and two blank squares. While being trained to play the game, they learned that clicking the stripedsquare and then the spotted square would cause a blue triangle to pop up in one of the blank squares. Clicking on the blue triangle would give them a reward. 【3】 But partway through the game, the researchers introduced a shortcut (捷径). Suddenly, the blue triangle started appearing at the start of gameplay, alongside the striped and spotted squares.【4】Remarkably, about 70 percent of the monkeys figured out this shortcut immediately. 【5】 Only 1 out of 56 human players figured out the shortcut right away.

Watzek’s conclusion was that humans tend to get “stuck in their ways” when it comes to strategic thinking. Things such as standardized testing and formal schooling might cause humans to use the same strategy over and over, even when it doesn’t work very well.

A.Monkeys never did better than human.

B.She and her team had them play a simple game.

C.The spotted square didn’t appear at all till the end.

D.Humans, on the other hand, were slow to figure it out.

E.We have mental abilities that other animals don’t have.

F.If a player clicked on the blue triangle, they’d receive their reward right away.

G.Human players would hear a “woop!” sound and monkey players would receive a snack.

Our class organized a environmental protection activity in the park in this morning. When we arrived there, we collected the throwing rubbish, such as waste paper, plastic bag and bottles. We also put up several notices to ask people take care of the plants and trees around us. Besides, we give a speech about the importance of the environment on that we are relying. In my opinion, we should take actively measures to prevent pollution but everyone should make contributions to it. Only by saving the environment can we save us.
