Social support makes up of the exchange of resources among people based on their interpersonal ties. Those of us with strong support systems appear better able to cope with major life changes and daily hassles(困难).People with strong social ties live longer and have better health than those without such ties. Studies over types of illnesses,from depression to heart disease, show that the presence of social support helps people fend off(挡开) illness, and the absence of such support makes poor health more likely. Social support cushions stress in a number of ways. First,friends,relatives and co-workers may let us know that they value us. Our self-respect is strengthened when we feel accepted by others in spite of our faults and difficulties. Second,other people often provide us with informational support. They help us to define and understand our problems and find solutions to them. Third, we typically find social companionship supportive. Taking part in free-time activities with others helps us to meet our social needs while at the same time distracting(转移注意力)us from our worries and troubles. Finally, other people may give us instrumental support-money aid, material resources,and needed services-that reduces stress by helping us resolve and cope with our problems. Interpersonal relationships are important because______. A.they are indispensable(不可缺少的)to people’s social well-being B.they awaken people’s desire to exchange resources C.they help people to cope with life in the imformation era D.they can cure a range of illnesses such as heart disease,etc. 解析:选A。事实细节题。由文章第一段第一句:Since we are social beings,the quality of our lives depends in large measure on our interpersonal relationships.(因为我们是社会人,我们生活的质量主要依赖于人际关系)可知答案。 Research shows that people’s physical and mental health________. A. relies on the social medical care systems which support them B. has much to do with the amount of support they get from others C. depends on their ability to deal with daily worries and troubles D. is closely related to their strength for coping with major changes in their lives 解析:选B。事实细节题。由第一段第六句Studies over types of illnesses...可知,研究疾病所覆盖的范围,从抑郁症到心脏病,显示了社交帮助人们抵御疾病,而缺少社交则可能使身体变差;第二段第一句也指出,社交可以减缓压力,故选B。 Which of the following is closest in meaning to the underlined word “cushions”? (Line 1,Para 2) A. Adds up to. B. Does away with. C. Lessens the effect of. D. Lays the foundation for. 解析:选C。词义猜测题。由第二段内容可知,第二段列举了四条减缓压力的方式,尤其最后一句提到reduces stress减缓压力,可知单词含义为lessens the effect of 减少影响,故选C。 Helping a sick neighbor with some repair work is an example of________. A. instrumental support B. informational support C. social companionship D. the strengthening of self-respect 解析:选A。推理判断题。由第二段中Finally,other people may give us instrumental support-money aid,material resources,and needed services可知,人们可以给你提供工具性帮助,如资金帮助、物质原料以及所需服务等。因此,帮助一位生病的邻居做修理工作,是instrumental support工具性帮助。故选A。 B Ireland has had a very difficult history.The problems started in the 16th century when English rulers tried to conquer (征服) Ireland.For hundreds of years,the Irish people fought against the English.Finally,in 1921,the British government was forced to give independence to the south of Ireland.The result is that today there are two “Irelands”.Northern Ireland,in the north,is part of the United Kingdom.The Republic of Ireland,in the south,is an independent country. In the 1840s the main crop,potatoes,was affected by disease and about 750,000 people died of hunger.This,and a shortage (短缺) of work,forced many people to leave Ireland and live in the USA,the UK,Australia and Canada.As a result of these problems,the population fell from 8.2 million in 1841 to 6.6 million in 1851. For many years,the majority of Irish people earned their living as farmers. Today,many people still work on the land but more and more people are moving to the cities to work in factories and offices.Life in the cities is very different from life in the countryside,where things move at a quieter and slower pace. The Irish are famous for being warm-hearted and friendly.Oscar Wilde,a famous Irish writer,once said that the Irish were “the greatest talkers since the Greeks”.Since independence,Ireland has revived (复兴) its own culture of music,language,literature and singing.Different areas have different styles of old Irish songs which are sung without instruments.Other kinds of Irish music use many different instruments such as the violin,whistles,etc. What does the author tell us in Paragraph 1? A.How the Irish fought against the English. B.How Ireland gained independence. C.How English rulers tried to conquer Ireland. D.How two “Irelands” came into being. 解析:选D。主旨大意题。概括第一段可知,本段主要介绍了爱尔兰一段与众不同的历史,即在被英国统治了几百年后,北爱尔兰成为英国的一部分,而南爱尔兰则获得独立,成立了“爱尔兰共和国”。由此可以看出,本段主要介绍了“两个爱尔兰”是如何形成的。故答案为D项。 We learn from the text that in Ireland ________. A.food shortages in the 1840s led to a decline in population B.people are moving to the cities for lack of work in the countryside C.it is harder to make a living as a farmer than as a factory worker D.different kinds of old Irish songs are all sung with instruments 解析:选A。推理判断题。根据第二段首句提到,在19世纪40年代,爱尔兰的主要农作物——土豆受到病害的影响,有大约750,000人死于饥饿,且还讲到,食物缺乏是爱尔兰人移民的一个原因。由此可知,食物缺乏导致了人口减少。 The last paragraph is mainly about ________. A.the Irish character B.Irish culture C.Irish musical instruments D.a famous Irish writer 解析:选B。主旨大意题。概括最后一段可知,本段主要介绍了爱尔兰的文化,故答案为B项。其余选项本段虽有所提及,但都属于本段的部分内容,无法概括本段大意,故可排除。 What can be the best title for the text? A.Life in Ireland B.A Very Difficult History C.Ireland,Past and Present D.The Independence of Ireland 解析:选C。主旨大意题。概括全文可知,本文主要从几个方面介绍了过去的爱尔兰和现在的爱尔兰。故答案为C项。其余选项都是本文的部分内容,A项是第三段的内容;B项是第一段的内容;D项也是第一段的内容。 C One afternoon, as I was driving back home, I stopped at a busy intersection as the traffic light turned red. I waited patiently for the light to turn green, so that I could continue my journey. Suddenly, out of nowhere, an old woman appeared and started asking for money. That day,I had unknowingly switched off the air conditioner in the car and my window was down. The old woman was standing very close to my car. As she begged for alms (施舍物), I closely observed her weather-beaten face, which had lots of wrinkles on it. Her eyes showed lots of sadness and her whole body was shaking. I sensed that this elderly lady had seen some incredibly hard times in her life and at this time there was no one to look after her, which forced her to beg on the streets. Seeing her condition, I immediately felt from within my being a huge surge (汹涌) of sympathy for her.It was coming deep from within my heart. I normally give loose change to beggars, however, that day my inner self strongly urged me that I give her something substantial (大量的) so that she could have a decent meal. Without any hesitation I took out a substantial amount from my wallet and placed it in her hand. Her weather-beaten face lit up with a toothless smile and she blessed me and went on her way. In the meantime the traffic light had turned green, and it was time to move on. As I drove back home I felt within myself a sense of joy and happiness surging through me because I was able to do something for at least one person on this planet. It was an incident that both the old lady and I would remember for a long time. Her blessings will also be one of the most treasured memories in my life. I often drive past that intersection, however I have never seen that old woman again. Why did the old woman come to the author for alms instead of begging others? A. She guessed he was kind. B. She found his window was down. C. She knew he had ever helped many others. D. She was sure she could get much money from him. 解析:选B。事实细节题。根据第二段第二句That day,I had unknowingly switched off the air conditioner in the car and my window was down.可知,老人应该是看到作者的窗子没有关,感觉有可能得到施舍,才向作者走去。 The author learned about the old woman’s situation________. A. by asking her relative B. by talking with her C. from her dressing and behaviour D. from her appearance and her eyes 解析:选D。事实细节题。根据第二段第四、五句...I closely observed her weather-beaten face,which had lots of wrinkles on it.Her eyes showed lots of sadness and her whole body was shaking.可知答案。 What was the author’s attitude to the old woman? A. Pitiful. B. Silent. C. Unhappy. D. Angry. 解析:选A。观点态度题。根据第三段第一句...I immediately felt from within my being a huge surge of sympathy for her.可知,看到老人的情况,作者从内心非常同情她。 It can be learned from the text that________. A. the author dealt with the old woman in the usual way B. the author usually gives others much money like this time C. what the author experienced at the traffic light lasted a few minutes D. it took many efforts and much time for the author to make the final decision 解析:选C。推理判断题。文章描述的事情发生在作者等红灯的时间内,说明作者从判断老人的情况到作出决定——多给她一些钱,只用了很短的时间。 D There were smiling children all the way. Clearly they knew at what time the train passed their homes and they made it their business to stand along the railway, wave to complete strangers and cheer them up as they rushed towards Penang. Often whole families stood outside their homes and waved and smiled as if those on the trains were their favorite relatives. This is the simple village people.of Malaysia. I was moved. I had always traveled to Malaysia by plane or car, so this was the first time I was on a train. I did not particularly relish the long train journey and had brought along a dozen magazines to read and reread.I looked about the train. There was not one familiar face. I sighed and sat down to read my Economics. It was not long before the train was across the Causeway and in Malaysia. Johor Bahru was just another city like Singapore, so I was tired of looking at the crowds of people as they hurried past. As we went beyond the city, I watched the straight rows of rubber trees and miles and miles of green. Then the first village came into sight. Immediately I came alive;I decided to wave back. From then on my journey became interesting. I threw my magazines into the waste basket and decided to join in Malaysian life. Then everything came alive. The mountains seemed to speak to me.Even the trees were smiling. I stared at everything as if I was looking at it for the first time. The day passed fast and I even forgot to have my lunch until I felt hungry. I looked at my watch and was surprised that it was 3∶00 p.m.. Soon the train pulled up at Butterworth. I looked at the people all around me. They all looked beautiful. When my uncle arrived with a smile, I threw my arms around him to give him a warm hug (拥抱). I had never done this before.

All my life I have been a fighter. When I was five years old, I had a very serious convulsion(痉挛) with high fever. The doctor gave the wrong medicine to me, which caused me to lose my speech. The doctor told my mother that the medicine caused a lot of problems with my speech. He thought that I would never be able to speak well again or to learn another language. But my mother sent me to a lot of teachers. Finally, she sent me to Maria. She was a very nice person. She believed in me, and thought that I would speak again. The most amazing thing was that she taught me to read my mouth.I remember that I spent hours in front of the mirror and tried to repeat every word that I said. Imagine losing your speech and having to learn everything again.For me it was like being born again. I learned to talk and speak my native language: Spanish. Now, I am studying English in Vermont. I can’t believe that I am learning another language. But, I am! I am crying because studying here makes me feel happy, and it makes me smile when I remember what the doctors said to my mom: “She will never be able to speak or to learn another language.” Now, I’m thinking about the beautiful fall leaf that is coming and what is going to happen to me. Just as every leaf is going to fall from the trees, I am going to take every step in my studies and in my life. I try to think about this and be a grateful person.

As is known to all,with the improvement of people’s living standards,cars have become a popular means of transport,bringing great convenience to our life.However,they have also caused some problems such as air pollution and traffic jams. How can we solve these problems then? As far as I’m concerned, riding bicycles is a good solution. For one thing, bicycles don’t need any petrol and they are energy-saving. For another, bicycles are environmentally friendly because they won’t give off waste gas. What’s more, riding bicycles is a good way for us to exercise and it is beneficial to our health. Therefore,let’s take the responsibility to build up a low- carbon city by riding bicycles. Come on and join us ! Thank_you! 版权所有:高考资源网(www.ks5u.com)
