Without it we would not have grown into primates (灵长目动物). Or we would probably still be struggling to sharpen a bronze tool while crawling around on four legs in search of meat. Without petition, Columbus wouldnt have discovered America and Edison would never have invented the light bulb.The friendship, like all relationships between two people, involves petition. It isnt petition in a traditional sense because there are no goals to be scored and no prizes. Perhaps the ecological definition the simultaneous (同时的) demand by two or more organisms for limited environmental resources, such as nutrients, living space, or light better explains it.As in nature, high school life is governed by a set of laws, similar to a shortened version of Darwins theory of evolution, overpopulation，and petition. There is an abundance of high school students and to distinguish them, ranking and categorizing (分类) take place. In high school, friendship coexists with petition even though at times the relationship is rough. In fact, in some circumstances, petition is too much of a burden for friendship to bear, causing it to fall apart. College admission is the final high school objective. Four years of hard work is to achieve good grades, and a students fate is determined not only by these achievements, but by the records of thousands of other seniors trying to achieve similar recognition.Nevertheless, by necessity, petition between students exists in all aspects of high school life. It sets and improves the standards in everything from sports to schoolwork. Healthy, friendly petition can have only benefits, but when it bees too fierce, jealousy (妒忌) can tear friendship apart. Yet, despite all this, without petition, we would be lost.语篇解读：本文是一篇议论文。文章主要论述了友谊和竞争之间的关系，健康的竞争促进友谊，而恶性的竞争则破坏友谊。4What does the ecological definition mainly explain?AHow friends pete with each other.BHow to win the petition.CWhat the result of petition is.DWhat petition exactly is.解析：选D细节理解题。分析第二段最后一句可知，该句的主干是Perhaps the ecological definition better explains it，其中“it”指代的是前一句中的“petition”。两个破折号之间的内容解释“the ecological definition”。句意：两个或者更多的生物体同时对有限的生态环境资源有需求，如营养物质、生存空间、光这一生态学定义更好地解释了竞争(的含义)。故选D项。5According to the author, what causes the high school students to pete?AThe number of them is too large.BFriendship is a burden for them.CThey know the laws of nature well.DThey are divided into different groups.解析：选A细节理解题。根据第三段内容可知，高中生活与自然界一样有一系列的规则，这与达尔文关于进化、人口过多和竞争的理论相似。也正是因为学生人数众多，为了区分，所以对学生进行了排名、分类。再加上考大学这一高中生活的最终目标的压力，高中生之间的竞争就不可避免地产生了。故选A项。6Which best describes the relationship of friendship and petition?AFriendship is always based on petition.BThe degree of petition is vital to friendship.Cpetition is terribly harmful to friendship.Dpetition is a result of lost friendship.解析：选B推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Healthy, friendly petition can have only benefits, but when it bees too fierce, jealousy (妒忌) can tear friendship apart.”可知，健康的、友好的竞争对友谊有好处，而过于激烈的、存在妒忌的竞争会使友谊破裂。因此竞争的度对友谊是至关重要的。故选B项。7What does the author think of “petition”？AThe results of petition are out of control.Bpetition bees fiercer in high school.Cpetition is certain to happen in high school.DFriendship is not as important as petition in high schools.解析：选C细节理解题。根据最后一段第一句“Nevertheless, by necessity, petition between students exists in all aspects of high school life.”可知，作者认为高中生活的各个方面存在竞争是必然的。故选C项。C(2019郑州市第一次质量预测) The hit movie Notting Hill (诺丁山) begins with a famous scene. Hugh Grant bumps into Julia Roberts and spills orange juice all over her. After the collision, Grant repeatedly says, “Im so sorry. Im so sorry.”His actions in this scene are very British. If Roberts were from Britain, then she would probably apologize repeatedly as well even if the crash were not her fault. But this doesnt happen in the movie, as Roberts is from the US.A report in The Telegraph once said that three quarters of British people apologize when they bump into someone in the street regardless of whether they are responsible or not. In fact, Britons use “sorry” in many situations. For example, if they mishear someone, they say “Sorry？” The person they are talking to will also apologize by replying, “No, I am sorry！” This can go on for up to five minutes as they pete for who is the most sorry.Why are Britons so sorry? Mark Tyrrell, a psychology writer in the UK, thinks that their apologetic tendencies are rooted in the British class system. “We say sorry because historically the new middle class in Britain had to apologize for not being the working class, but also for not really being the upper class.” Another theory is that they apologize to avoid conflicts. For example, if they bump into someone, he might get angry. To avoid this, they instantly say “Sorry！”True manners are about being considerate, and todays constant use of apologizing shows that we are perhaps not as thoughtful as we once were. The word “sorry” has lost some of its meaning. Do you see my point? Sorry, it might just be a British thing.语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了英国人的道歉文化及其原因：一是因为历史上英国的新中产阶级；二是为了避免冲突。8Why does the author mention a scene in the movie Notting Hill at the beginning?ATo give an example of British modesty.BTo introduce different ways of saying sorry.CTo show what kind of men are considered gentlemen in the UK.DTo draw our attention to when and how British people say sorry.解析：选D推理判断题。根据第一段的描述可知，文章开头用电影作例，描述了英国人道歉的场景，目的是引出文章的主题英国的道歉文化。9Which of the following statements might Mark Tyrrell agree with?APeople should not apologize if they are not responsible.BAmericans care less about manners than British people do.CThat British people apologize so much is linked to the class system.DBritish people care too much about which social class they are from.解析：选C推理判断题。根据第四段中的“Mark Tyrrell .thinks that their apologetic tendencies are rooted in the British class system.”可知，Mark Tyrrell认为英国人的道歉根源于其阶级制度。由此可推断，C项正确。10What can be inferred from the passage?AIts unnecessary for British people to be so polite.BThe overuse of apologizing shows Britons are truly sincere.CPeople should not stick to the traditional use of the word “sorry”DUsing “sorry” more doesnt necessarily mean people are more polite.解析：选D推理判断题。根据第四段的内容以及最后一段中的“todays constant use of apologizing shows that we are perhaps not as thoughtful as we once were”可知，英国人道歉或是与他们的阶级制度有关，或是为了避免冲突，今天的多次道歉也并不意味着人们更有礼貌。11What is the authors purpose in writing this passage?ATo explore the best way of saying sorry.BTo explain why Britons overuse the word “sorry”CTo show how saying sorry has changed over time.DTo suggest many British people lack traditional manners.解析：选B写作意图题。根据全文内容可知，本文由电影场景引入主题，介绍了英国的道歉文化，并介绍了英国人道歉的原因及今天道歉的意义，主要目的是介绍英国人过量使用道歉的原因。DSome people are so rude!Who sends an email or a text message that just says “Thank you”？ Who leaves a voice mail message rather than texts you? Who asks for a fact easily found on Google? Dont these people realize that theyre wasting your time?Maybe Im the rude one for not appreciating lifes little politeness. But many social agreed standards just dont make sense to people drowning in digital munication.In texts, you dont have to declare who you are or even say hello. Email, too, is slower than a text. Voice mail is a now impolite way of trying to connect.My father learned this lesson after leaving me a dozen voice mail messages, none of which I listened to. Exasperated,_he called my sister to express his dissatisfaction that I never returned his phone calls. “Why are you leaving him voice mail？” my sister asked. “Just text him.”In the age of the smartphone, there is no reason to ask onceacceptable questions about: the weather forecast, a businesss phone number, or directions to a house, a restaurant, which can be easily found on Google Maps. But people still ask these things. And when you answer, they respond with a thankyou email.How to handle these differing standards? Easy. Consider your audience. Some people, especially older ones, appreciate a thankyou message. Others, like me, want no reply.The anthropologist (人类学家) Margaret Mead once said that in traditional societies, the young learn from the old. But in modern societies, the old can also learn from the young. Heres hoping that politeness never goes out of fashion but that timewasting forms of munication do.语篇解读：本文是一篇议论文。文章主要讨论了如今在智能手机时代，人们应该选择何种方式进行沟通。12What does the underlined word “Exasperated” mean in the fifth paragraph?AWorried.BSurprised.CAnnoyed. DTired.解析：选C词义猜测题。根据画线词后面的“he called my sister to express his dissatisfaction that I never returned his phone calls”可知，作者的父亲对作者不给自己回电话很不满，由此可推知exasperated意思是“恼怒的，生气的”，故选C。13Why didnt the writer reply to his father?AHe liked text messages better.BHe enjoyed checking his voice mail.CHe didnt receive any voice mail messages.DHe didnt want to talk with his father.解析：选A推理判断题。根据第五段最后一句“Why are you leaving him voice mail？ my sister asked. Just text him.”可推知，作者不喜欢用语音信箱，更偏爱发短信，故选A。14Which of the following does the writer agree to?APeople neednt learn from one another in traditional societies.BDealing with voice mail should vary with each individual.CPeople neednt turn to Google for help when in trouble.DDeclaring who you are or saying hello in texts is necessary.解析：选B推理判断题。根据倒数第二段的内容可推知，标准是变化的，处理方式应该因人而异，而不是一刀切，语音信箱的使用亦是如此，故选B。15Whats the best title for this passage?ANowadays: what should we do with text messages?BNowadays: do you like leaving others a voice message?CNowadays: what means should we use in munication?DNowadays: do you need a thankyou message?解析：选C标题归纳题。根据对文章内容的整体理解可知，第三段引入本文话题，最后两段点题总结，本文主要讨论的是如今(在智能手机时代)我们应该用何种方式进行沟通，故选C项。.阅读七选五How to make good conversation“Conversation is the most sociable of all human activities.” I totally agree with this point.
