Huron, Ohio, was where I’d spent my twenties, working on a steamer out on the Great Lakes. My wife and I started our family there, and later we came back to Huron to retire. Then, during the final stage of construction on our new home, I had difficulty breathing. The doctor determined I needed open-heart surgery. I was admitted to a hospital in Sandusky.
The night before my surgery, I was so worried that I couldn’t sleep. I lay in my hospital bed praying and thinking about the events in my life that had led me to this point. I remembered how I had fallen in love with Huron and its people. I remembered a Christmas many years ago…
The shipping season had been good to me, so that winter I decided to buy some Christmas gifts and help out a family in town. “I know a family that would appreciate a visit from Santa Claus,” the owner of the store said. “A woman with six children just lost her husband.”
The store owner helped me wrap some presents and gave me the family’s address. That evening I delivered the packages. A little girl with brown eyes and the sweetest smile answered the door. “Santa asked me to bring these gifts to you and your family,” I said.
The girl’s eyes lit up even more. “Tell Santa ‘thank you’ from Dorothy,” she said. I never saw her or her family again, but all in town helped give Huron a permanent place in my heart. A heart now needed fixing badly.
A nurse came in to check on me. “Where are you from?” the nurse asked. “I’m from Huron,” I told her proudly.
She smiled. “I grew up there,” she said. “I loved it, even though life wasn’t easy. You see, I lost my father when I was just a child.”
I looked into her brown eyes and knew I’d seen them before. “Do you recall a sailor bringing presents to your door one Christmas?”
She stared. “That was you!”
“Yes, Dorothy,” I said, suddenly confident about my surgery. “That was me.”
4. What was the author worried about the night before his surgery?
A. Huron and its people. B. The uncompleted house.
C. His rough life experience. D. His poor physical condition.
5. How did Dorothy respond to the author’s question?
A. She kept silent with smile. B. She totally ignored it.
C. She answered it amazedly. D. She hesitated about it.
6. What brought the author confidence in the surgery?
A. The love of people in the town Huron.
B The reward of a kind action years ago.
C. The encouragement of the young nurse.
D. The high quality service of the hospital.
7. What is the best title of the text?
A. An Unforgettable Open-heart Surgery
B. A Young Girl Finds Her Way Back Home
C. Huron Holds A Special Place in My Heart
D. A Precious Gift I Received Before Surgery
【答案】4. D 5. C 6. B 7. C
【解析】

推理判断题。根据倒数第二、三段 “Do you recall a sailor bringing presents to your door one Christmas?” She stared. “That was you!”(“你记得有一年圣诞节有个水手给你送礼物吗?”
她凝视着我。“原来是你!”) 可知，作者问女孩是否还记得有一个圣诞节，一位水手把礼物送到她家门口，女孩凝视着作者然后把他认了出来。由上下文语境语意及女孩回答的语气“原来是你!”可以推断出来，女孩认出作者回答他的问题时很惊喜。故选C项。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“I remembered how I had fallen in love with Huron and its people. I remembered a Christmas many years ago…(我记得我是如何爱上休伦和休伦人的。我回想起很多年前的一个圣诞节……)”可知，作者对休伦地区的人们很有感情，很信任；并结合下文，作者回忆几年前在休伦帮助过一家生活艰难的人。在医院里，几年不见再重逢，作者认出了女孩，女孩也认出了作者。又根据最后一段 “Yes, Dorothy,” I said, suddenly confident about my surgery. “That was me.” 表达作者对手术恢复了信心。根据故事内容可推断，作者感觉多年前的一次善举，这次碰巧是被帮助的小女孩参与他的治疗，这真是善有善报，做好事的回报让自己恢复了信心。故选B项。

The rhino census (犀牛普查) is out, bearing good news for the greater one-horned rhinos! In September, 2022, the International Rhino Foundation (IRF) documented in a report that there is a baby boom in this population, representing an increase of 167 percent.
According to the report, there are a total of 4,014 greater one-horned rhinos living in India, Nepal, and Bhutan. Although this is positive news, their IUCN (International Union for Conservation of Nature) status still remains vulnerable.
In India alone, the home to 70 percent of the world’s greater one-horned rhinos, there was an increase of 274 rhinos since the last biannual census, according to the organization Rhino Review.
An important reason for this baby boom is the fact that Assam, India, has enlarged Kaziringo National Park, home to the world’s largest one-horned rhino population. The park went from 430 square kilometers to 1,040 square kilometers. This gives more breeding areas for the rhinos, and they are closed to visitors during breeding season.
India and Nepal are also protecting the rhinos by enforcing wildlife crime laws. To reduce rhino death by poaching (偷猎), the IRF donates vehicles and equipment, plus education including guard training and crime investigation.
The IRF data for other rhino species is not as promising, although the greater one-horned rhino numbers are encouraging for future conservation. According to the report, there is a decline in Sumatran rhinos, Africa’s white rhinos, while the Javan rhino population is stable and threatened by loss of habitat.
The State of the Rhino report offers hope for these other species. Given that the greater one-horned things were once close to extinction, with fewer than 100 living in the world, their recovery is incredible. This demonstrates that there are solutions when organizations and people work together. Let us hope that this successful rhino baby boom will affect other endangered wildlife species around the globe.
8. What contributes to the baby boon of one-horned rhinos in Assam, India?
A. Extending the protected areas for rhinos.
B. Raising fund to set up more reserves for rhinos.
C. Leaving the one-horned rhinos alone in the wild.
D. Keeping visitors away from the Kaziringo National Park.
9. How does IRF help protect the one-horned rhinos?
A. By cooperating with other organizations.
B. By enhancing anti-poaching efforts.
C. By transferring the rhinos to other habitats.
D. By guarding the rhinos with new equipment.
10. What can we learn from the rhino report?
A. Rhinos are no longer a vulnerable species.
B. Rhinos will affect other wildlife in the world.
C. Everyone can play a role in protecting nature.
D. It is possible to protect other endangered species.
11. What is the purpose of this text?
A. To inform good news on the greater one-horned rhinos.
B. To show the measures taken to protect the one-horned rhinos.
C. To introduce an endangered species—the greater one-horned rhinos.
D. To indicate the decline of other species of rhino population.
【答案】8. A 9. B 10. D 11. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文，介绍关于独角犀牛数目增加了这一好消息。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。第四段的“An important reason for this baby boom is the fact that Assam, India, has enlarged Kaziringo National Park, home to the world’s largest one-horned rhino population. (这种新出生小犀牛数目增长的一个重要原因是印度阿萨姆邦扩大了卡齐林戈国家公园)”可知，犀牛保护区的扩大促成了独角犀牛数目的增长。故选A。
9题详解】
细节理解题。第五段的“To reduce rhino death by poaching (偷猎), the IRF donates vehicles and equipment, plus education including guard training and crime investigation. (为了减少偷猎造成的犀牛死亡，IRF捐赠了车辆和设备，以及包括警卫培训和犯罪调查在内的教育。)”可知，IRF在加强对抗偷猎方面做出努力来帮助保护独角犀牛。故选B。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段首句“The State of the Rhino report offers hope for these other species. (犀牛情况的报告为类似的其他物种带来了希望)”可知，犀牛状况报告为类似其他物种带来了希望。由此推断，保护全球其他濒危野生物种是可能的。故选D。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。文章首句“The rhino census (犀牛普查) is out, bearing good news for the greater one-horned rhinos! (犀牛普查已经出炉，这对大独角犀牛来说是个好消息！)”点明了文章中心。犀牛普查已经结束，为大独角犀牛带来了好消息！由此推断，作者写这篇文章是为了让人们了解关于独角犀牛的这个好消息。故选A。
D
To the delight of bookworms, anyone who has ever told you burying your head in a book means you’re being unsociable will have to cat their wards. A new study suggests those who regularly read, especially fiction, are actually nicer and more empathetic (善解人意) people.
The study, carried out by Kingston University London, and presented at the British Psychological Society conference in Brighton, UK, last week, also found that those who just watched television seemed to be less kind and understanding of other people.
For the study, the researchers questioned 123 people on their preferences for books, TV shows, and plays. They were also quizzed about the type of entertainment they preferred from comedy or romance to drama. Then they were tested on their interpersonal skills. The researchers asked them about their behavior towards others, whether they understood and respected others’ points of view, and whether they actively helped other people.
Drawing on these responses sheet, the researchers found some mind-boggling results. They discovered that those who read more showed greater positive social behavior and a better ability to empathize with others, while those who preferred watching TV didn’t show the same ability to empathize and were more likely to show unsociable behavior.
They also found the forms of fiction people preferred were linked to their interpersonal skills and behavior. Those who preferred fiction displayed the most positive social skills. Romance and drama lovers showed the ability to see others’ points of view, while comedy fans were particularly, able to relate to others the most.
The researchers concluded that those who read fiction regularly are more well-adapted to see things from other people’s points of view, which makes them better at understanding people. However, they do acknowledge that their study didn’t conclude if the effects are causal — does reading make you nicer and more empathetic, or do more empathetic people tend to read fiction? Even so, picking up a book can’t hurt, and might just make the world a nicer place.
12. How did the researchers conduct the research?
A. By making questionnaire surveys.
B. By comparing experiment statistics.
C. By observing participants’ behaviors.
D. By referring to previous study reports.
13. What does the underlined word “mind-boggling” mean in paragraph 4?
A. Embarrassing. B. Satisfying.
C. Amazing. D. Disappointing.
14. What can improve people’s empathetic abilities the most according to the study?
A. Reading fiction and comedy. B. Enjoying romance and drama.
C. Taking part in social activities. D. Watching plays on social media.
15. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A. All people support the research result.
B. Further study is needed on this subject.
C. The nicer and kinder people like reading.
D. Reading can help people make more friends.
【答案】12. A 13. C 14. A 15. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍一项研究发现：那些经常阅读尤其是阅读小说的人实际上是更友善、更善解人意。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“For the study, the researchers questioned 123 people on their preferences for books, TV shows, and plays. (在这项研究中，研究人员询问了123人对书籍的偏好，电视节目和戏剧)”和第四段“Drawing on these responses sheet, the researchers found some mind-boggling results. (根据这些回答表，研究人员发现了一些令人难以置信的结果)”可知，研究人员是通过问卷调查进行研究。故选A。
【13题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第一段“To the delight of bookworms, anyone who has ever told you burying your head in a book means you’re being unsociable will have to eat their words. (让书虫们高兴的是，任何曾经告诉过你埋头读书意味着你不会社交的人都不得不收回自己的话)”和第四段“They discovered that those who read more showed greater positive social behavior and a better ability to empathize with others (他们发现那些阅读更多的人表现出更积极的社交行为和更好的同情他人的能力)”可知，根据这些回复表，研究人员发现了的结果令人惊奇。由此可知，划线词mind-boggling的意思应该是“令人吃惊的”，和选项C意思一致。故选C。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“A new study suggests those who regularly read, especially fiction, are actually nicer and more empathetic (善解人意) people. (一项新的研究表明，那些经常阅读，尤其是小说的人实际上是更友善、更有同情心的人)”可知，那些经常阅读，尤其是阅读小说的人实际上是更友善、更善解人意的人。又根据第五段“Romance and drama lovers showed the ability to see others’ points of view, while comedy fans were particularly, able to relate to others the most. (浪漫和戏剧爱好者表现出了看到他人观点的能力，而喜剧迷则表现得尤为突出，他们最能与他人交流)”可知，爱情故事和戏剧爱好者表现出理解他人观点的能力，而喜剧迷尤其能够与他人产生共鸣。由此推知，读小说和喜剧最让人善解人意。故选A。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。最后一段“However, they do acknowledge that their study didn’t conclude if the effects are causal — does reading make you nicer and more empathetic, or do more empathetic people tend to reading fiction? (然而，他们确实承认，他们的研究并没有得出结论，是否这些影响是因果关系——是阅读会让你变得更好、更有同理心，还是更有同理心的人更容易阅读小说？)”可推知，这个问题需要进一步研究。故选B。
第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5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。
Our lives are full of habits. Unfortunately a great many of them are bad habits. One way to break these bad habits is to fill our lives with good habits. Most people decide one day that they need to make changes to their lives and then they go all out to make big sweeping changes. This may work for them for the first few days, but then they get burned out. ____16____ This is a very unproductive way to spend your time and energy.
____17____ Say your goal is to get up an hour earlier every day. One day you start setting your alarm for an hour earlier and you keep this up for one week. Then because you are naturally resistant to change, you go back to your old habit. A better way is to set your alarm one minute earlier every day. After two months you are getting up an hour earlier and you will not even notice the change. ____18____
This approach can work for just about anything. If you are exercising for half an hour every day and you want to increase that time to one hour then add a minute every day. After one month you will have reached your goal with very little resistance from your body and mind. ____19____
This method of change is gentle, but very powerful. Think of everything you can accomplish if you just continuously improve a little at a time. The change itself creates the momentum (动力) you need to keep going. ____20____ What one minute change can you make to your life today?
A. The key is to change a little bit at a time.
B. Keeping on exercising can build up strength.
C. It may take longer, but with this approach you are likely to succeed.
D. Nothing will happen if you are not determined to achieve your goal.
E. Pretty soon they are back to their old habits and nothing has changed.
F. Changing slowly removes the greatest barrier we have to change: fear.
G. Soon you will find yourself reaching your goals with almost no pain involved.
【答案】16. E 17. A 18. C 19. F 20. G
【解析】
【导语】本文是说明文。文章主要介绍如何养成好习惯的方法。
【16题详解】
根据上文“Our lives are full of habits. Unfortunately a great many of them are bad habits. One way to break these bad habits is to fill our lives with good habits. Most people decide one day that they need to make changes to their lives and then they go all out to make big sweeping changes. This may work for them for the first few days, but then they get burned out. (我们的生活充满了习惯。不幸的是，其中很多都是坏习惯。打破这些坏习惯的一个方法是让我们的生活充满好习惯。大多数人有一天决定，他们需要改变自己的生活，然后他们全力以赴，做出彻底的改变。这可能在最初几天对他们有用，但之后他们就会筋疲力尽。)”可知，做出巨大改变可能在最初几天对他们有用，但随后他们就会筋疲力尽。接下来应该进一步解释，很快他们又恢复了原来的习惯，一切都没有改变。选项E“很快，他们又回到了原来的习惯，什么都没有改变。”和上文意思一致。故选E。
【17题详解】
根据下文“Say your goal is to get up an hour earlier every day. One day you start setting your alarm for an hour earlier and you keep this up for one week. Then because you are naturally resistant to change, you go back to your old habit. A better way is to set your alarm one minute earlier every day. After two months you are getting up an hour earlier and you will not even notice the change. (说你的目标是每天早起一小时。有一天，你开始提前一个小时设置闹钟，并保持一周。然后，因为你天生抗拒改变，你又回到了旧习惯。更好的方法是每天提前一分钟设置闹钟。两个月后，你会早起一小时，你甚至不会注意到变化。)”可知，这一段介绍改变坏习惯需要一点点做。选项A“关键是一次改变一点点。”和下文意思一致。故选A。
【18题详解】
根据上文“A better way is to set your alarm one minute earlier every day. After two months you are getting up an hour earlier and you will not even notice the change. (更好的方法是每天提前一分钟设置闹钟。两个月后，你会早起一小时，你甚至不会注意到变化。)”可知，坏习惯要一点点改变，所以需要的时间应该会很长。选项C“这可能需要更长的时间，但通过这种方法，你很可能会成功。”和上文意思一致。故选C。
【19题详解】
根据上文“This approach can work for just about anything. If you are exercising for half an hour every day and you want to increase that time to one hour then add a minute every day. After one month you will have reached your goal with very little resistance from your body and mind. (这种方法几乎适用于任何事情。如果你每天锻炼半小时，你想把时间增加到一小时，那么每天增加一分钟。一个月后，你的身体和思想几乎没有抵抗力，你就达到了目标。)”可知，这一段进一步讲述一点点改变坏习惯的好处。选项F“慢慢地改变会消除我们必须改变的最大障碍：恐惧。”和上文意思一致。故选F。
【20题详解】
根据上文“This method of change is gentle, but very powerful. Think of everything you can accomplish if you just continuously improve a little at a time. The change itself creates the momentum (动力) you need to keep going. (这种改变的方法是温和的，但非常强大。想想如果你一次只不断进步一点点，你能完成的一切。变化本身创造了你继续前进所需的动力。)”可知，这一段是用鼓励性的语言总结一点点温和改变坏习惯的好处。选项G“很快你就会发现自己在几乎没有痛苦的情况下实现了目标。”呼应上文讲温和改变坏习惯的好处。故选G。

47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
I must admit, I haven’t always liked animals. In fact, I distrusted them greatly while growing up, and I still fear the ones I don’t know personally. What set my beliefs in stone was being attacked—not once but many times, including the summer after second grade when I was bitten by a rabbit. Then, when I was nine and riding my dirt bike down the road, a large dog charged me and tried to bite my ankle. After all those negative experiences, there was one thing I knew for sure: All creatures, great and small, were no friends of mine.
After college in California, I returned to live the single life in Las Vega. Then I met Lisa. In no time at all, we fell in love, married and moved into a new house. Despite my avoidance of animals, Lisa had a dog called Bailey. Bailey didn’t like me, but he tolerated my existence once he realized I wasn’t going anywhere.
Things changed as spring came. We welcomed a new member of our family: our son Evan. One evening Evan grabbed hold of the dog’s tail. The irritated dog paused and turned to look at his stuck tail but waited patiently until being released. Still the stories I’d heard of animals attacking babies worries me.
Then my worst fear occurred. I sat on the couch (沙发) reading after a long day while my wife worked at the dining-room table paying the bills. I saw Evan crawl across the family-room carpet as he made his way behind the couch. One minute, all was quiet and then Bailey entered the room and headed to where Evan had crawled. I nearly jumped out of my skin when I heard the dog start a fearful barking behind me.
注意：
1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Throwing the book away, I rushed around the couch with great fear.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Having witnessed our dog killing a scorpion (蝎子) and saving my son, I was speechless.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Throwing the book away, I rushed around the couch with great fear. The damn dog was barking directly at a huge scorpion in front of Evan’s chin. Evan lay on his belly, his head held high, frozen in fright as Bailey continued to bark at full volume mere inches away. The huge scorpion had its tail up and was prepared to strike. Without hesitation, the dog rushed to attack the scorpion and killed it with one bite. It was such a close call. Lisa scooped up our crying child.
Having witnessed our dog killing a scorpion (蝎子) and saving my son, I was speechless. Unconsciously, tears rolled down my cheek. Without worry and fear any longer, I knelt down and gave that brave dog some kisses. Bailey seemed to have fully understood my feeling, he lay in my arms to comfort me. It was a crucial moment which showed how both human and beast can live in harmony. I had a new belief in love. It is that some animals are human’s good friends indeed.
【解析】

Huron, Ohio, was where I’d spent my twenties, working on a steamer out on the Great Lakes. My wife and I started our family there, and later we came back to Huron to retire. Then, during the final stage of construction on our new home, I had difficulty breathing. The doctor determined I needed open-heart surgery. I was admitted to a hospital in Sandusky.
The night before my surgery, I was so worried that I couldn’t sleep. I lay in my hospital bed praying and thinking about the events in my life that had led me to this point. I remembered how I had fallen in love with Huron and its people. I remembered a Christmas many years ago…
The shipping season had been good to me, so that winter I decided to buy some Christmas gifts and help out a family in town. “I know a family that would appreciate a visit from Santa Claus,” the owner of the store said. “A woman with six children just lost her husband.”
The store owner helped me wrap some presents and gave me the family’s address. That evening I delivered the packages. A little girl with brown eyes and the sweetest smile answered the door. “Santa asked me to bring these gifts to you and your family,” I said.
The girl’s eyes lit up even more. “Tell Santa ‘thank you’ from Dorothy,” she said. I never saw her or her family again, but all in town helped give Huron a permanent place in my heart. A heart now needed fixing badly.
A nurse came in to check on me. “Where are you from?” the nurse asked. “I’m from Huron,” I told her proudly.
She smiled. “I grew up there,” she said. “I loved it, even though life wasn’t easy. You see, I lost my father when I was just a child.”
I looked into her brown eyes and knew I’d seen them before. “Do you recall a sailor bringing presents to your door one Christmas?”
She stared. “That was you!”
“Yes, Dorothy,” I said, suddenly confident about my surgery. “That was me.”
4. What was the author worried about the night before his surgery?
A. Huron and its people. B. The uncompleted house.
C. His rough life experience. D. His poor physical condition.
5. How did Dorothy respond to the author’s question?

C. She answered it amazedly. D. She hesitated about it.

The rhino census (犀牛普查) is out, bearing good news for the greater one-horned rhinos! In September, 2022, the International Rhino Foundation (IRF) documented in a report that there is a baby boom in this population, representing an increase of 167 percent.
According to the report, there are a total of 4,014 greater one-horned rhinos living in India, Nepal, and Bhutan. Although this is positive news, their IUCN (International Union for Conservation of Nature) status still remains vulnerable.
In India alone, the home to 70 percent of the world’s greater one-horned rhinos, there was an increase of 274 rhinos since the last biannual census, according to the organization Rhino Review.
An important reason for this baby boom is the fact that Assam, India, has enlarged Kaziringo National Park, home to the world’s largest one-horned rhino population. The park went from 430 square kilometers to 1,040 square kilometers. This gives more breeding areas for the rhinos, and they are closed to visitors during breeding season.
India and Nepal are also protecting the rhinos by enforcing wildlife crime laws. To reduce rhino death by poaching (偷猎), the IRF donates vehicles and equipment, plus education including guard training and crime investigation.
The IRF data for other rhino species is not as promising, although the greater one-horned rhino numbers are encouraging for future conservation. According to the report, there is a decline in Sumatran rhinos, Africa’s white rhinos, while the Javan rhino population is stable and threatened by loss of habitat.
The State of the Rhino report offers hope for these other species. Given that the greater one-horned things were once close to extinction, with fewer than 100 living in the world, their recovery is incredible. This demonstrates that there are solutions when organizations and people work together. Let us hope that this successful rhino baby boom will affect other endangered wildlife species around the globe.
8. What contributes to the baby boon of one-horned rhinos in Assam, India?
A. Extending the protected areas for rhinos.
B. Raising fund to set up more reserves for rhinos.
C. Leaving the one-horned rhinos alone in the wild.
D. Keeping visitors away from the Kaziringo National Park.
9. How does IRF help protect the one-horned rhinos?
A. By cooperating with other organizations.
B. By enhancing anti-poaching efforts.
C. By transferring the rhinos to other habitats.
D. By guarding the rhinos with new equipment.
10. What can we learn from the rhino report?
A. Rhinos are no longer a vulnerable species.
B. Rhinos will affect other wildlife in the world.
C. Everyone can play a role in protecting nature.
D. It is possible to protect other endangered species.
11. What is the purpose of this text?
A. To inform good news on the greater one-horned rhinos.
B. To show the measures taken to protect the one-horned rhinos.
C. To introduce an endangered species—the greater one-horned rhinos.
D. To indicate the decline of other species of rhino population.

To the delight of bookworms, anyone who has ever told you burying your head in a book means you’re being unsociable will have to cat their wards. A new study suggests those who regularly read, especially fiction, are actually nicer and more empathetic (善解人意) people.
The study, carried out by Kingston University London, and presented at the British Psychological Society conference in Brighton, UK, last week, also found that those who just watched television seemed to be less kind and understanding of other people.
For the study, the researchers questioned 123 people on their preferences for books, TV shows, and plays. They were also quizzed about the type of entertainment they preferred from comedy or romance to drama. Then they were tested on their interpersonal skills. The researchers asked them about their behavior towards others, whether they understood and respected others’ points of view, and whether they actively helped other people.
Drawing on these responses sheet, the researchers found some mind-boggling results. They discovered that those who read more showed greater positive social behavior and a better ability to empathize with others, while those who preferred watching TV didn’t show the same ability to empathize and were more likely to show unsociable behavior.
They also found the forms of fiction people preferred were linked to their interpersonal skills and behavior. Those who preferred fiction displayed the most positive social skills. Romance and drama lovers showed the ability to see others’ points of view, while comedy fans were particularly, able to relate to others the most.
The researchers concluded that those who read fiction regularly are more well-adapted to see things from other people’s points of view, which makes them better at understanding people. However, they do acknowledge that their study didn’t conclude if the effects are causal — does reading make you nicer and more empathetic, or do more empathetic people tend to read fiction? Even so, picking up a book can’t hurt, and might just make the world a nicer place.
12. How did the researchers conduct the research?
A. By making questionnaire surveys.
B. By comparing experiment statistics.
C. By observing participants’ behaviors.
D. By referring to previous study reports.
13. What does the underlined word “mind-boggling” mean in paragraph 4?
A. Embarrassing. B. Satisfying.
C. Amazing. D. Disappointing.
14. What can improve people’s empathetic abilities the most according to the study?
A. Reading fiction and comedy. B. Enjoying romance and drama.
C. Taking part in social activities. D. Watching plays on social media.
15. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A. All people support the research result.
B. Further study is needed on this subject.
C. The nicer and kinder people like reading.
D. Reading can help people make more friends.
【答案】12. A 13. C 14. A 15. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍一项研究发现：那些经常阅读尤其是阅读小说的人实际上是更友善、更善解人意。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“For the study, the researchers questioned 123 people on their preferences for books, TV shows, and plays. (在这项研究中，研究人员询问了123人对书籍的偏好，电视节目和戏剧)”和第四段“Drawing on these responses sheet, the researchers found some mind-boggling results. (根据这些回答表，研究人员发现了一些令人难以置信的结果)”可知，研究人员是通过问卷调查进行研究。故选A。
【13题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第一段“To the delight of bookworms, anyone who has ever told you burying your head in a book means you’re being unsociable will have to eat their words. (让书虫们高兴的是，任何曾经告诉过你埋头读书意味着你不会社交的人都不得不收回自己的话)”和第四段“They discovered that those who read more showed greater positive social behavior and a better ability to empathize with others (他们发现那些阅读更多的人表现出更积极的社交行为和更好的同情他人的能力)”可知，根据这些回复表，研究人员发现了的结果令人惊奇。由此可知，划线词mind-boggling的意思应该是“令人吃惊的”，和选项C意思一致。故选C。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“A new study suggests those who regularly read, especially fiction, are actually nicer and more empathetic (善解人意) people. (一项新的研究表明，那些经常阅读，尤其是小说的人实际上是更友善、更有同情心的人)”可知，那些经常阅读，尤其是阅读小说的人实际上是更友善、更善解人意的人。又根据第五段“Romance and drama lovers showed the ability to see others’ points of view, while comedy fans were particularly, able to relate to others the most. (浪漫和戏剧爱好者表现出了看到他人观点的能力，而喜剧迷则表现得尤为突出，他们最能与他人交流)”可知，爱情故事和戏剧爱好者表现出理解他人观点的能力，而喜剧迷尤其能够与他人产生共鸣。由此推知，读小说和喜剧最让人善解人意。故选A。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。最后一段“However, they do acknowledge that their study didn’t conclude if the effects are causal — does reading make you nicer and more empathetic, or do more empathetic people tend to reading fiction? (然而，他们确实承认，他们的研究并没有得出结论，是否这些影响是因果关系——是阅读会让你变得更好、更有同理心，还是更有同理心的人更容易阅读小说？)”可推知，这个问题需要进一步研究。故选B。

Our lives are full of habits. Unfortunately a great many of them are bad habits. One way to break these bad habits is to fill our lives with good habits. Most people decide one day that they need to make changes to their lives and then they go all out to make big sweeping changes. This may work for them for the first few days, but then they get burned out. ____16____ This is a very unproductive way to spend your time and energy.
____17____ Say your goal is to get up an hour earlier every day. One day you start setting your alarm for an hour earlier and you keep this up for one week. Then because you are naturally resistant to change, you go back to your old habit. A better way is to set your alarm one minute earlier every day. After two months you are getting up an hour earlier and you will not even notice the change. ____18____
This approach can work for just about anything. If you are exercising for half an hour every day and you want to increase that time to one hour then add a minute every day. After one month you will have reached your goal with very little resistance from your body and mind. ____19____
This method of change is gentle, but very powerful. Think of everything you can accomplish if you just continuously improve a little at a time. The change itself creates the momentum (动力) you need to keep going. ____20____ What one minute change can you make to your life today?
A. The key is to change a little bit at a time.
B. Keeping on exercising can build up strength.
C. It may take longer, but with this approach you are likely to succeed.
D. Nothing will happen if you are not determined to achieve your goal.
E. Pretty soon they are back to their old habits and nothing has changed.
F. Changing slowly removes the greatest barrier we have to change: fear.
G. Soon you will find yourself reaching your goals with almost no pain involved.

Most people decide one day that they need to make changes to their lives and then they go all out to make big sweeping changes. This may work for them for the first few days, but then they get burned out.

【17题详解】

After two months you are getting up an hour earlier and you will not even notice the change. (说你的目标是每天早起一小时。有一天，你开始提前一个小时设置闹钟，并保持一周。然后，因为你天生抗拒改变，你又回到了旧习惯。更好的方法是每天提前一分钟设置闹钟。两个月后，你会早起一小时，你甚至不会注意到变化。)”可知，这一段介绍改变坏习惯需要一点点做。选项A“关键是一次改变一点点。”和下文意思一致。故选A。
【18题详解】
根据上文“A better way is to set your alarm one minute earlier every day. After two months you are getting up an hour earlier and you will not even notice the change. (更好的方法是每天提前一分钟设置闹钟。两个月后，你会早起一小时，你甚至不会注意到变化。)”可知，坏习惯要一点点改变，所以需要的时间应该会很长。选项C“这可能需要更长的时间，但通过这种方法，你很可能会成功。”和上文意思一致。故选C。
【19题详解】
根据上文“This approach can work for just about anything. If you are exercising for half an hour every day and you want to increase that time to one hour then add a minute every day. After one month you will have reached your goal with very little resistance from your body and mind. (这种方法几乎适用于任何事情。如果你每天锻炼半小时，你想把时间增加到一小时，那么每天增加一分钟。一个月后，你的身体和思想几乎没有抵抗力，你就达到了目标。)”可知，这一段进一步讲述一点点改变坏习惯的好处。选项F“慢慢地改变会消除我们必须改变的最大障碍：恐惧。”和上文意思一致。故选F。
【20题详解】
根据上文“This method of change is gentle, but very powerful. Think of everything you can accomplish if you just continuously improve a little at a time. The change itself creates the momentum (动力) you need to keep going. (这种改变的方法是温和的，但非常强大。想想如果你一次只不断进步一点点，你能完成的一切。变化本身创造了你继续前进所需的动力。)”可知，这一段是用鼓励性的语言总结一点点温和改变坏习惯的好处。选项G“很快你就会发现自己在几乎没有痛苦的情况下实现了目标。”呼应上文讲温和改变坏习惯的好处。故选G。

【答案】Dear Peter,
I’m glad to learn that you are interested in Chinese festivals. I’m writing to tell you about my life during the Spring Festival.
Spring Festival is the most important festival in China. It falls on the last day of the lunar year and lasts until the Lantern Festival. Holidays are held all over the country. Before the festival comes, we clean and decorate our houses to welcome the New Year. On New Year’s Eve, we usually get together to watch TV while eating delicious food. During the festival, we go from house to house to pay a visit to our relatives and friends. I like the Spring Festival very much because I can get pocket money from my parents and relatives. It’s nice to be with my family.
How do you like your holidays? Please tell me something about your holidays. I am looking forward to your early reply.
Yours,
Li Hua

47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
I must admit, I haven’t always liked animals. In fact, I distrusted them greatly while growing up, and I still fear the ones I don’t know personally. What set my beliefs in stone was being attacked—not once but many times, including the summer after second grade when I was bitten by a rabbit. Then, when I was nine and riding my dirt bike down the road, a large dog charged me and tried to bite my ankle. After all those negative experiences, there was one thing I knew for sure: All creatures, great and small, were no friends of mine.
After college in California, I returned to live the single life in Las Vega. Then I met Lisa. In no time at all, we fell in love, married and moved into a new house. Despite my avoidance of animals, Lisa had a dog called Bailey. Bailey didn’t like me, but he tolerated my existence once he realized I wasn’t going anywhere.
Things changed as spring came. We welcomed a new member of our family: our son Evan. One evening Evan grabbed hold of the dog’s tail. The irritated dog paused and turned to look at his stuck tail but waited patiently until being released. Still the stories I’d heard of animals attacking babies worries me.
Then my worst fear occurred. I sat on the couch (沙发) reading after a long day while my wife worked at the dining-room table paying the bills. I saw Evan crawl across the family-room carpet as he made his way behind the couch. One minute, all was quiet and then Bailey entered the room and headed to where Evan had crawled. I nearly jumped out of my skin when I heard the dog start a fearful barking behind me.
注意：
1.续写词数应为150左右;

Throwing the book away, I rushed around the couch with great fear.

Having witnessed our dog killing a scorpion (蝎子) and saving my son, I was speechless.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Throwing the book away, I rushed around the couch with great fear. The damn dog was barking directly at a huge scorpion in front of Evan’s chin. Evan lay on his belly, his head held high, frozen in fright as Bailey continued to bark at full volume mere inches away. The huge scorpion had its tail up and was prepared to strike. Without hesitation, the dog rushed to attack the scorpion and killed it with one bite. It was such a close call. Lisa scooped up our crying child.
Having witnessed our dog killing a scorpion (蝎子) and saving my son, I was speechless. Unconsciously, tears rolled down my cheek. Without worry and fear any longer, I knelt down and gave that brave dog some kisses. Bailey seemed to have fully understood my feeling, he lay in my arms to comfort me. It was a crucial moment which showed how both human and beast can live in harmony. I had a new belief in love. It is that some animals are human’s good friends indeed.
