I will also look at what all communities have in common, the benefits they offer and draw conclusions about their increasing importance.The word “community” may make you think of traditional communities in the developing world, where large families live together. We may also imagine the neighbours as people who are happy to help out whenever it is needed. The stereotpical(老套的) view is that of a village, where people have little but can feel very rich because everyone takes responsibility for the welfare of the others.On the other hand, there are other types of communities: ultramodern(超现代的) ones, where the community members are unlikely to have actually met each other. These are online communities, where people blog or chat about particular issues that are important to them. They come across others on websites and may develop a relationship there with like-minded people, discussing the same topics. The view is often that these are artificial connections between people who are, in effect, still isolated(孤立的) strangers.In reality, the connections are real. Moreover, there are many types of communities in between these extremes: people who join clubs, who sign up with voluntary, political or other organizations, or who take part in group discussions in their local area. They may be campaigning about issues or simply getting together for companionship and support.Human beings are social by nature, so it should not be a surprise that we organize ourselves in groups. However, there is more going on: these groups provide something that we cannot achieve on our own. The main benefit of being part of a larger group is strength in numbers. For example, we can access and share more information, we can take part in team sports, we can complain and campaign more effectively and even if we are just having a chat, online or in person, we can feel supported in whatever we do.Whatever forms communities take, what defines them is the sense of identity and safety that they provide for their members: the knowledge that there are people who we have something in common with and who can be relied on when we need each other.28.In traditional communities, people .A.live in a large familyB.are wealthy but unhappyC.help and care about each otherD.are isolated and dont have connections29.According to the text, online community members .A.develop a close working relationshipB.share opinions about issues on websitesC.communicate with each other in personD.share the same interest but have no relations30.Paragraph 5 mainly talks about .A.the types of communityB.the culture of communityC.the benefits of communityD.the definition of community31.Communities provide their members with .A.a sense of identity and safetyB.a sense of social responsibilityC.chances of meeting new peopleD.chances of developing their interestsDHere comes a story that many years ago a man arrived at a village in India to catch monkeys so he could sell them to zoos. The monkeys, however, were very clever and every sort of trap he set failed. A young boy watched the mans pathetic efforts and laughed.The man said, “If you can catch me a monkey, Ill give you $ 2.” That was a huge amount of money then.The boy went to his home and took a clay pot with a narrow neck. He placed a few nuts around the pot and put lots of nuts inside. He then tied the pot to a tree and told the man, “We should have a rest in a few hours. Lets wait in the village. The monkey will call us when he is ready.”Certainly enough, a band of monkeys soon discovered the nuts and the pot. One slipped his hand in the pot and grabbed a handful of nuts, but he couldnt pull his hand out of the narrow opening of the pot because his fist(拳头) was clenched. The monkey feared and started making loud noises. Some of the other monkeys tried unsuccessfully to pull the pot off his hand.The boy and the man heard the noises and the boy got a big strong bag. As they approached the monkeys they all ran away except the one with its hand in the pot. The boy grabbed the monkey and the pot. The man was amazed and asked the boy the secret of his monkey trap, “Why was it so easy for the monkey to get his hand in but so hard to get it out?”The boy laughed and said, “The monkey could have easily got his hand back out and escaped, but he would have had to let go of the nuts in the pot and he just wasnt willing to let go. They never are.”What lessons can be learned from this story? Do people sometimes trap themselves by holding onto things that they should let go? Do you?32.What does the underlined word “clenched” in the 4th paragraph probably mean?A. quickly pushed B. lightly pulledC. tightly fastened D. closely held33.Why couldnt the monkey pull his hand out of the pot? The reason lies in that .A. the pots neck was too narrow B. the monkey wouldnt let go of the nutsC. the monkeys fist was too big D. the nuts in the pot were too delicious34.Which of the statement is NOT true according to the story?A. The boy just played a trick on the man.B. The monkeys were too clever to be trapped.C. The boy was helpful.D. The boy could ask for $2 from the man.35.What might be the best title of this passage?A. the monkey and the boy B. the boy and the potC. the monkey and the pot D. the man and the pot第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10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。Life is hard and throws a lot at us at times.There are circumstances that make us feel stuck and trying to find an escape.Despite whats happened or where you are right now,you can live a happy life on your terms. 36.Here are five choices that can lead you to whatever a happy life means to you.( 1 )Ending a terrible Relationship or Moving Forward in a Good OneJust like our work,our relationships also have a tremendous effect on our life. 37.Relationships are hard because love is involved,and love is rarely rational.It can also be more than romantic relationships; any that are toxic can rob us of happiness.We have to make a choice to purge negativity from our lives in any form.If you have good relationships,make the choice to do the work it takes to grow together.( 2 ) 38.Its not easy to do things that scare us or that were not used to.
