题目内容

【题目】根据短文理解,选择正确答案。
When asked to point out one or two things that are most important to themselves, many put friends ahead of homes, jobs, clothes and cars.
A true friendship carries a long history of experience that determines who we are and keeps us connected. It is a treasure we should protect. Unfortunately, the better friends you are, the more probably you'll have disagreements. And the result can be what you don't want—an end to the relationship.
The good news is that most troubled friendships can be mended. First, don't let your pride get in your way. Most of us can forgive each other when differences are brought out in the open. Second, apologize when you're wrong — even if you've been wronged. Over the course of a friendship, even the best people make mistakes. Sometimes, it may be best if the wronged person takes the lead and apologizes. When you apologize, give your friend a chance to admit(承认) that he has been wrong. Third, see things from your friend's point of view. And finally, accept that friendships change as our needs and lifestyle change. Making friends can sometimes seem easy. The hard part is keeping the connections strong during the natural ups and downs that have an effect on all relationships. My suggestion: consider friendship as an honor and a gift, and worth the effort to treasure and nurture(培养).
(1)What would be the best title for the passage?
A.Easy Ways to Make Friends
B.Ups and Downs in Friendship
C.How to Mend a Troubled Friendship
D.How to Take the Lead in Making Friends
(2)The “wronged person” underlined in the passage refers to a person __________.
A.who has been mistaken for another
B.who has been blamed unfairly
C.who has treated friends badly
D.who has admitted his mistakes
(3)According to the passage, a friendship can be long only if __________.
A.we have much in common
B.we know our friends' mistakes
C.we treat our disagreements wisely
D.we have known one another her desires
(4)What should we do if we follow the author's second suggestion?
A.Make an apology first.
B.Avoid making mistakes.
C.Stick to our own points of view.
D.Change our lifestyles.

【答案】
(1)C
(2)B
(3)C
(4)A
【解析】文章介绍友谊的重要性,也说明友谊是很容易破碎的,但是也可以修复,作者介绍了几个修复友谊的方式。

⑴主旨大意。从第三段的句子:The good news is that most troubled friendships can be mended.可知,作者写这篇文章是想告诉我们怎么修复友谊,所以答案是C。

⑵推理判断。由文中第三段语句理解apologize when you're wrong — even if you've been wronged.(当你错的时候要道歉——即使你被冤枉。)再根据后面一句When you apologize, give your friend a chance to admit(承认) that he has been wrong.(当你道歉的时候,要给你朋友一个改正错误的机会。),故可知此处的意思是“被冤枉的人”,所以答案是B。

⑶推理判断。根据第二段的内容可知,只有明智的处理分歧,友谊才能长久,所以答案是C。

⑷细节理解。由第三段作者提的第二点建议Second, apologize when you're wrong ― even if you've been wronged.(当你错的时候要道歉——即使你被冤枉。)可知,所以答案是A。

【题目】C

When we smile, our system recognizes that there’s an absence of threat, and relaxes: It slows down our heart rate, and may temporarily reduce blood pressure, too, promoting overall heart health. Even forcing your face into a smile can reduce stress and relax your heart rate.

Smiling is a language that everyone understands regardless of age, race, culture, language, and nationality. We all know that when you smile at people, even strangers, they almost always smile back, spreading a kind of peace and goodwill. This contagious(有感染力的) smiling comes from a subconscious tendency to match other people’s emotions. It’s why people who spend time around children, who smile often, naturally smile more than people who keep mostly adults company.

People who are generous with smiles are considered more likeable and approachable than people who wear a deadpan(面无表情的)expression. Consider successful salesmen and politicians. Can you imagine how we’d react if they wore sour expressions? People who smile a lot are more likely to gain our trust and earn better tips than someone who provides the same service with an impassive face.

In a study, Major League Baseball players from 1952 who wore full-faced, genuine smiles on their baseball cards lived longer, around 79.9 years, compared to players who only partly smiled or didn’t smile at all, who lived 5 to 7 years less. Smiling can make us look younger, too: People who smile frequently seem to age more slowly, appearing around three years younger than their less smiley counterparts.

We now have evidene that we are hardwired to smile. While smiling used to be considered a learned behavior that babies acquired at around six weeks of age, more advanced ultrasound testing has shown that even babies who are born blind can smile. Babies have been known to make breathing and sucking movements while still in the womb(子宫), and these reactions are thought to prepare them for their life outside. Now smiling has joined the list. Say cheese!

【1】What can smiling do according to Paragraph 1?

A. Remove your life pressure.

B. Improve the condition of the heart.

C. Make your blood pressure steady.

D. Prevent you from being absent-minded.

【2】What should you do if you want to smile more according to the author?

A. Stay more with people smiling more.

B. Approach smart children.

C. Care more about others’ feelings.

D. Volunteer together with more strangers.

【3】What does the author want to show by mentioning salesmen and politicians?

A.A false smile may hurt people. B. Smiles contribute to a career.

C. Generous people tend to smile more. D. Work pressure stops people smiling.

【4】What does the author suggest in the last paragraph?

A. Babies smile within 2 months.

B. Blind babies learn to smile.

C. Smiling is a natural ability.

D. Breathing and sucking are similar to smiling.
