18、t most of her 7th and 8th grade school years eating lunch alone. The new girl was at an all-girls private school in Los Angeles. A group of “mean girls” excluded (把排斥在外 ) her from parties, called her names and even physically attacked her. They told her she was ugly and would never have any friends.
19、 Once a kid who loved going to school, now Natalie dreaded it. She stopped eating; she couldnt sleep. The anxiety (焦虑) became so bad that she had to be hospitalized. Her mom calls it “the darkest period of our lives”.Natalies mother sent her to another school for high school. Now a 16-year-old junio
20、r, shes happy there, with a group of close friends and many after-school activities. But shes never forgotten those two dark years, and she hates the idea of other kids going through what she did.So Natalie came up with an idea that would allow students a judgment-free way to find lunch mates withou
21、t the fear of being refused. She developed an app called “Sit With Us”, where students can sign up as “ambassadors” and post that there are open seats at their lunch table (When signing up as ambassadors, the students make a promise that theyll be kind and welcoming to whoever comes to sit with them
22、). A student who doesnt have a place to sit can look at the app and find an ambassadors table and know he/she is invited to join it.“Lunch might seem really small, but I think these are the small steps that make a school more inclusive,” said Natalie. “It doesnt seem like youre asking that much, but

26、lie was unwelcome at school. CWeve all heard the phrase “less is more” yet many of us are still likely to over-explain, send long emails, and hold hour-long meetings that only have 20 minutes of real content (内容).Joseph McCormack, author of BRIEF: Making a Bigger Impact by Saying Less, says getting
27、to the point right away is very important to attract peoples attention. In a sales presentation, you can talk yourself out of a deal by over-explaining rather than listening to the guests across the table. Even in writing, there are bad results of not being brief. McCormacks own research showed 43%
28、of people who received long emails ignored them. “When the point isnt made clear you feel you cant deal with this right now so you put it aside,” he explains. Despite the many disadvantages of being long-winded, many of us struggle (挣扎着做) to be brief. One reason, explains McCormack, is that we belie
29、ve by over-explaining, we can prove how smart we are. From an early age, were taught to judge our success on word counts and page lengths. Students are asked to write 20-page papers instead of simply being asked to make their point clear in as many words as they need. “I think teachers should ask fo
30、r a 20-page paper and a two-page paper. If you can present your point well in two pages, then Ill read the 20-page paper to see how you got there,” he says.Another reason we struggle to be brief when we are talking is that we may be underprepared. “When youre being brief, you have to make a lot of d
31、ecisions about whats important and whats not important for that person in that moment in time,” says McCormack.Cutting out all the irrelevant (不 相 干 的 ) information can take time (time that many of us dont give when were speaking with others). Its these challenges of being brief that McCormack says
32、make brevity an important skill that helps people to stand out as being professional.28. What can be learned from Paragraph 2?A. Listening to others is important.B. Too much talking is likely to be ignored.C. Not being active can stop us from succeeding.D. Nearly half of emails we receive are put as
33、ide.29. Why do we often choose to write long papers?A. We believe the more, the better.B. We are asked to do so by teachers.C. Teachers are fond of reading long papers.D. Only long papers can make our point clear.30. Why do we struggle to be brief according to Paragraph 4?A. We just prepare somethin
34、g important.B. Its hard to make decisions sometimes.C. We dont organize our ideas well before talking.D. Its impossible to tell whats important in a short time.31. What is most likely to be talked about in the paragraph following the text?A. The tips for being brief.B. The challenges of being brief.
35、C. The skills we should develop in life.D. The importance of being professional.DWhile being popular in high school might be every teenagers goal, belonging to a closely connected group may pay off more in the long run. The types of friendships you form during your teenage years can affect your ment
36、al (精神的) health in adulthood, according to a new study.Researchers from the University of Virginia examined 169 young people over a period of 10 years, from the time they were 15 until they were 25. The study authors checked on these young people each year to judge the state of their friendships and
37、 their mental health. Researchers asked them questions about who their close friends were, as well as examined issues like anxiety, social acceptance and self-worth. The authors also interviewed the teenagers close friends on how they viewed their relationships with the study volunteers.Friendship q
38、uality and popularity were studied by the reports from those young peoples friends. The study authors defined high-quality friendships as close friendships in which the two persons mentally depended on each other and allowed for intimate (亲密的) exchanges. Popularity was determined by how many of the
39、teens classmates regarded them as someone they wanted to hang out with.Those with high-quality friendships at age 15 seemed to be better when they were 25 in terms of health and happiness. They had lower social anxiety and increased sense of self-worth. Those who were considered more popular by thei
40、r friends showed higher levels of social anxiety as adults. Its important to point out here that the sample (样本) size of the study was somewhat small, so its unclear if this is valuable in a general population. However, former research shows that friendships during teenage years can improve physical
41、 and emotional health. And friendships in general are good for your health: Studies show they decrease stress, help you deal with problems and encourage you to make better lifestyle choices.32. What did the researchers do in the study?A. They improved some young peoples self-worth.B. They found 169
42、young people who were popular.C. They examined peoples mental health every 10 years.D. They recorded friendships of the same young people in 10 years. 33. Who is considered popular by the researchers?A. A teenager who reports to have many friends.B. A teenager who is liked by lots of his classmates.
43、C. A teenager who has many high-quality friendships.D. A teenager who can do many things for his classmates.34. What does Paragraph 4 mainly tell us?A. Popular adults met more problems in their lives.B. It was common that adults suffered social anxiety. C. High-quality friendships helped teenagers s
44、ucceed.D. Teenagers with close friendships grew up to be happier.35. Which of the following shows the structure of the whole text? A B C D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。The science teacher, Mr. Litmus, had asked his students to study animals. They would write a short
45、 report, and then tell the rest of the class what they found. Some talked about dogs; others chose horses. 36 “I found that flies are terribly bad-tempered (脾气暴躁的 ),” said Sophie, very sure of herself. 37 Then Sophie explained, “I spent hours watching flies in my house. When they flew normally, ever
46、ything was OK, but when they found a window, they would really start buzzing (嗡嗡叫 ). 38 I inspected the flies really closely, and saw that what they were really doing was shouting and complaining (抱怨). They just couldnt fly out of the window, though they beat their heads against the glass again and
47、again.”Mr. Litmus was amused. 39 Instead, the fly was a kind of animal that has different levels of intelligence. Students agreed that the next day theyd bring a list of animals in their order of intelligence.And what happened next caused a heated discussion in the science class. Many parents had to
48、 come and complain because they were considered by their children to be the least intelligent! 40 Although Mr. Litmus had to do a lot of explaining and calm down quite a few parents, it helped some of them realize that, although they werent stupid, they often behaved not very intelligently.A. She ma

But the most interesting discovery of all was made by little Sophie.E. I had always thought they made that noise with their wings, but they dont.F. This, said the children, was because the parents did nothing but complai
