desire to socialize, but the smartphone.At parties, people focus more on their smartphones than on their drinks.According to a recent study from International Data Corporation, over half of all Americans have a smartphone and reach it the moment they wake up, keeping it in hand all day.In addition, too many people are using smartphones while driving and as a result，they get into car crashes.34 percent of teens admit to text while driving, and they confirm that texting messages is the major interruption while driving.Peoples attachment (依恋) to their smartphones is unbelievably becoming more important than the lives of themselves and others.Just as drivers dismiss the importance of focusing while on the road, many people also fail to recognize the significance of human interaction.When with their friends, some people pointlessly(无谓地) check or send messages in the presence of their friends, which means that their friends are less important.In addition, relying on our smartphones to make friends does not give us the same advantages as making new friends in the real world.Facetoface conversations will give us the chance to improve our communication skills in the long run.As many people risk their lives and the lives of people around them just to send a text or mindlessly check their messages，smartphones are in many ways more dangerous to people.The technology shows the achievement weaken the value of communication.Not only is the smartphone affecting our desire to interact face to face，but it is also lowering peoples ability to communicate.【语篇解读】本文是一篇议论文。智能手机的问世使我们与他人联系更加方便，但也使我们疏远了身边的人。本文主要讲述了：在聚会、开车等各种场合，人们埋头用手机发短信，影响了人际交流，甚至导致了事故的发生。4The purpose of this text is to Acall for an end to the use of the smartphone while

smartphoneC写作意图题。本文通过描述人们在社交场合或开车时埋头使用手机这一现象，提出了这一现象背后值得思考的话题：手机的过度使用影响到了人们的日常生活和交流，因此选C。5The second paragraph is developed by Agiving examplesBlisting figuresCcomparing factsDanalyzing the

(非语言的) vocabulary. Each one of these different types of ways of communicating is obviously different between men and women.Many different studies show that men tend to talk much more than women. It has also been proven that women tend to speak faster than men; this is due to the fact that women tend to be interrupted more often than men are, and also have the ability to speak more clearly, precisely, and more quickly than men. In one study it was found that women spoke for an average of three minutes describing a painting, as opposed to the thirteenminute average it took men to describe it.Men and women also tend to have a very different nonverbal way of communicating, which can also make it very hard for one another to understand what the opposite sex is trying to say. Mens body language is much more reserved when they are talking to women. Men tend not to make as much eye contact and they generally stay farther away from women when talking to them. Men avoid other peoples body space while talking, and they also tend to sit back when talking. All of these have given off the impression of disinterest or boredom. Women are by far better listeners and much more enjoyable to talk with and they tend to raise more topics for conversation.Women also make it clearer whether or not the conversation is going somewhere or just stuck in neutral. After learning about our styles of communicating with each other, I have decided that although men have not quite mastered communicating, what fun would it be if we all spoke the same “language”？ The little games men and women play with each other while conversing would be lost. The question everyone asks himself or herself after talking with someone of the opposite sex, “I wonder if theres something there？” would no longer exist.【语篇解读】本文主要介绍了男性和女性因性别差异而导致在沟通方式上也有所不同的现象。8What does the underlined word “this” in Paragraph 2 refer to?AThe differences between mens and womens languagesBThe different speed of mens and womens speech.CThe ability of mens and womens spoken language.DThe nonverbal vocabulary of men and women.B代词指代题。由this承接第二段中的“It has also been proven that women tend to speak faster than men”可推知，此处的this指代女性比男性说话快的现象，故选B。9In what way do men and women differ according to the third paragraph?ASpeed of understanding.BUnderstanding of speech roles.CPoliteness of communication.DApplication of body language.D推理判断题。根据第三段的整体内容，尤其是该段第二句“Mens body language is much more reserved when they are talking to women.”可推知，本段主要讲的是男性和女性在非语言表达方式上的不同，即肢体语言使用上的差异，故选D。10What is the authors attitude to the differences between mens and womens communication?ACautious.BFavorable.CAmbiguous. DSkeptical.B观点态度题。根据最后一段第二句和第三句“After learning about our styles of communicating with each other，I have decided that although men have not quite mastered communicating，what fun would it be if we all spoke the same language？The little games men and women play with each other while conversing would be lost.”可推知，作者对男性和女性在沟通的差异性上持赞成态度，故选B。cautious“谨慎的”；favorable“赞成的”；ambiguous“模棱两可的”；skeptical“怀疑的”。11What is the best title for the text?AWomen, born excellent talkersBMens and womens social rolesCVocabulary and communicationDOpposite gender, different languageD标题判断题。根据第一段的话题导入，并结合全文的整体内容可推知，本文主要讲的是男性和女性因性别差异而导致在沟通方式上也有所不同，故选D。DThe word or phrase that you use to open your email account may provide a key to your personality as well as to your correspondence (信件), according to a British psychologist.Helen Petrie, professor of humancomputer interaction (交互作用) at City，University in London, analysed the responses of 1，200 Britons who participated in a survey funded(提资金) by CentralNic, an Internet domain name company.The results were recently published on CentralNics website.Petrie identifies three main password “types”“Family oriented” respondents numbered nearly half of those surveyed.These people use their own name or nickname, the name of a child, partner, or pet or a birth date as their password.They tend to be occasional computer users and have strong family ties.“They choose passwords that symbolize people or events with emotional value，” says Petrie.One third of respondents were “fans”， using the names of athletes, singers, movie stars, fictional characters, or sports teams.Petrie says fans are young and want to attach themselves to the lifestyle represented by a celebrity.Two of the most popular names were Madonna and Homer Simpson.The third main group of participants are “cryptics” because they pick confusing passwords or a random (随机的) string of letters, numbers, and symbols such as “Jxa 157”Petrie says cryptics are the most securityconscious group.They tend to make the safest but least interesting choices.Passwords are revealing for two reasons.First，because they are invented on the spot.“Since you are focused on getting into a system, for example your email account，youre likely to write down something that comes quickly to mind，” says Petrie.“In this sense passwords take advantage of things that are just below the surface of consciousness.Also，to remember your password, you pick something that will stick in your mind.You may unconsciously choose something of particular emotional importance.”【语篇解读】本文是说明文。研究表明，密码可以揭示人们的个性。12How did Petrie draw her conclusions?ABy observing participants reactions.BBy interviewing 1，200 people.CBy studying survey results.DBy doing an experiment.C细节理解题。由第一段中的“analysed the response of 1，200 Britons who participated in a survey”可知，Helen Petrie分析了参与调查的1 200位英国人的答复，得出“密码会揭示人的个性”的结论。13What do we know about people whose passwords are “family oriented”？AThey probably have large families.BThey are likely to be animal lovers.CThey tend to be social and emotional.DThey are probably infrequent computer users.D细节理解题。由第二段中的“They tend to be occasional computer users and have strong family ties.”可知，用家庭信息作为密码的人往往不经常用电脑，而且有很强的家庭纽带。14What does Petrie say about the “cryptic” group?AThey have strong safety awareness.BThey lack imagination and creativity.CThey change their passwords regularly.DThey cant think of an interesting password.A细节理解题。由第二段中的“Petrie says cryptics are the most securityconscious group.They tend to make the safest but least interesting choices.”可知，Petrie认为cryptics是最有安全意识的群体。 15Why can passwords reveal our personalities?AWe choose words we will easily remember.BWe are willing to invent something personal.CWe are likely to value important experiences.DWe pick up a password after careful consideration.A细节理解题。由最后一段中的“to remember your password，you pick something that will stick in your mind”可知，在设密码时，我们往往会写下脑子里首先想到的，要记住密码，我们会选那些容易记住的。.阅读七选五(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)The art of conversations takes practice, but is not as hard as you might think. 16 Be around confident people.Being around confident people makes you feel good.The other persons enthusiasm makes all the conversation participants feel confident and comfortable. 17 If its someone who you work with, or go to school with, look at their department website, or see if the person is on any social networks before talking to him for the first time.The information you get can be a good starting point for conversations.Ask questions.What do they like to do? What sort of things have they done in their lives? What is happening to them now? What did they do today or last weekend？ 18 However, try to space out your questions or theyll feel like you are interrogating (审问) them, which is very bad and closes off friendships.Listen.Pay attention to what is being said.Make movements to indicate that you are still listening.If you listen well, the other persons statements will suggest questions for you to ask. 19 They will often not realize that it was they who did most of the talking, and you get the credit for being a good conversationalist.Know when the conversation is over.Even the best conversations will eventually run out of steam or be ended by an interruption.Smile if youre leaving，tell them it was nice to talk to them, and say goodbye. 20 AAsk as many questions as you can think of, including their age, income and marriage.BEnding on a positive note will leave a good impression.CFind out about the person you will be talking to before you actually talk to him, if you can.DTake a special course on making conversations so that you can communicate with others better.EAllow the other person to do most of the talking.FIdentify things about them that you might be interested in hearing about, and politely ask questions.GWith some patience and these steps, you can learn to relax and enjoy a great conversation.【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了提高沟通交流能力的技巧，包括和自信的人交往、询问问题、耐心倾听等。16G空处为第一段尾句，起承上启下的过渡作用，下文是对如何提高沟通能力的介绍，据此可知，G项符合文意。17C空处的位置说明空处为该段的主题句。根据空处下句“If its someone who you work with，or go to school with，look at their department website，or see if the person is on any social networks before talking to him for the first time.”可知，该空主要阐述找到关于你将要交流的人的信息，故C项符合文意。18F根据该段首句“Ask questions”可知，该段主要阐述“询问问题”这一方法；由空后一句可知，应选F项“确认一下你感兴趣听到的事情，有礼貌地问问题”。19E根据空处下句“They will often not realize that it was they who did most of the talking，and you get the credit for being a good conversationalist.”并结合该段首句“Listen”可知，这里作者建议“聆听别人讲话，让别人多说”，故E项与此匹配。20B根据空处上句“Smile if youre leaving，tell them it was nice to talk to them，and say goodbye.”并结合该段首句“Know when the conversation is over.”可知，以积极的气氛结束交流会给别人留下好的印象，故选B项。.完形填空(共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分)When I was younger，I loved to read.I could get through a whole book in a day，and used to 21 my parents every night to let me stay up later so I could “just 22 my chapter(章节)”，I read any literature(著作) that I could get my hands on.However， 23 there are many books for younger children，once you reach your midteens the choices become 24 I found myself choosing between books for children that were 25 and boring，and adult books that I couldnt quite understand.This lack of choice 26 led me to read less and less.When I was in secondary school，the 27 books I read were ones we were assigned in English class，and I was never very 28 about my teachers choices I thought too much discussion of symbolism(象征意义) and themes 29 the book.Maybe the sky being blue didnt 30 anything，maybe it was just a description！Rather than making me more 31 in literature，it made me 32 want to pick up a book again.I reluctantly(不情愿地) chose a French literature course in my first year at university.I started out unhappy，determined not to 33 any of the works we were studying over the course of the year.However，I soon 34 that at a university level，the discussion was more 35 and the books more interesting！Being able to discuss my thoughts with other people meant that I could better 36 the subtle aspects of the bookseven the symbolism and themes.I began reading again for 37 Now，during my year abroad，I spend a lot of my spare time in bookshops and 38 in cafes，and even attend a monthly book club with some other language assistants.Reading is a great way to widen your horizons(视野)， 39 your vocabulary and use your imagination.Im so happy that I 40 my love of books.【语篇解读】本文是记叙文。作者讲述了自己从热爱读书到找不到有趣的书可读再到重新爱上读书的过程。21A.adviseBencourageCforce Dask答案D22A.choose BchangeCfinish DstudyC根据本段中的“I loved to read”及“I could get through a whole book”可知，作者小时候酷爱读书，常常“请求(ask)”父母允许自己熬夜读书，这样他才能“看完(finish)”自己想看的章节。23A.while BsinceCunless Dif答案A24A.free BclearCwide Dlimited答案D25A.silly BspecialCrare DsmallA根据本段中的“I found myself choosing between books for children.and adult books”及下一段中的“This lack of choice”可知，“虽然(while)”儿童书籍很多，但是当你再大一些到了少年时期，你就会发现你的选择变得“有限(limited)”了。作者就发现自己徘徊在“可笑的(silly)”，无聊的儿童书籍与自己读不懂的成人书籍之间。26A.hardly BusuallyCfinally Dstrangely答案C27A.next BonlyCsame Dlast答案B28A.certain BconcernedCdoubtful DenthusiasticD根据本段中的“This lack of choice.read less and less.”及
