A
24、s a psychologist for more than twenty years I can tell you that I have never had an adult looking back at her childhood and complaining that her parents were too understanding. And similarly, I have met many divorced people who still love each other but yet they never really understood each other. T
25、he painful reality is love is just not enough. I“ll admit that there are people who I love and who I still need to better understand. I hope I“ll continue my work to understand them. The willingness to understand is very important. It is not always easy, but healthy love is strengthened by the willi
26、ngness to understand. Love without understanding will wilt like flowers without water. Our egos are what seem to get in the way of understanding those who we love and eare about. Often it is our need to be right that makes what others think and feel so wrong for us. I have certainly been quite guilt
27、y of this in some of my relationships. As I have written repeatedly in my books, empathy, is truly the emotional glue that holds all close relationships together. Empathy allows us to slow down and try to walk in the shoes of those we love. The deeper our empathy, the deeperand healthierour love. No
28、t all relationships are meant to be. Yet all relationships that are meant to flourish in a healthy way, must stress understanding just as much, if not more, than love.（分数：10.00）(1).From the passage we know that _.（分数：2.00）A.the author complains about her parents“ being too understandingB.the author
29、has been studying marriages for more than 20 yearsC.people divorced mainly because they didn“t love each otherD.some people divorced because they couldn“t understand each other(2).Why are we unable to understand the others sometimes?（分数：2.00）A.Because we are caring the others too much.B.Because it i
30、s quite difficult to understand the others.C.Because we believe we are always right.D.Because the others have done something wrong.(3).Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?（分数：2.00）A.Understanding is more important to parenting relationship than to other intimate relati
31、onships.B.Understanding is less important than love as far as marriage is concerned.C.Understanding is more important than love to some degree.D.Understanding is more often neglected in parenting relationship.(4).If we are to understand our partners, we should firstly _.（分数：2.00）A.have willingness t
32、o do soB.have love for themC.get into connection with themD.care about them(5).In this passage, the expression “walk in the shoes of“ is similar in meaning to _.（分数：2.00）A.befriendB.understandC.loveD.care about五、Passage 2(总题数：1，分数：10.00)Finally, the Christmas season is over. We can take a long breat
33、h, put up our feet, sip from a cup of good tea and relax. The frenzy, starting from Black Friday right after Thanksgiving until Christmas Eve, of gift shopping, buying, wrapping, giving, receiving, opening, returning.is exhaustive and time-consuming, but it takes place every year. There is considera
34、ble difference between the cultures in China and western countries when it comes to gift giving. In China, it is not polite to open a gift in front of the gift giver, and gift is only looked at after the guest has left. Here in America, gift givers always wrap their gifts, large or small, priceless
35、or valueless, carefully and decorate them with colorful ribbons and little pretty paper flowers; and the lucky receiver is expected to open the gift right away in front of the giver, with great eagerness and curiosity, and should always express appreciation with the all time truthful comment, “this
36、is just exactly what I wanted!“ Well, as a matter of fact, most people would take their “always wanted“ gifts back to the store to exchange for something they really wanted. Finding a gift for somebody, even a close family member, you“ll have to know what the person likes and shop for days before yo
37、u can locate the perfect gift. But, still the person may not like the gift from you. Nowadays, stores would provide two copies of the receipts for anything they sell as a gift, one of which is included in the gift package so that the receiver can come back for an exchange. I know, it was unthinkable
38、 to cash out gift you get, but, times are different. Another good way to avoid all that shopping hassle is to purchase a gift card from one of the stores and send it to your niece, nephews, or a family member, so that they can get whatever they want or even keep the money.（分数：10.00）(1).Finding a gif
39、t for somebody is a (n) _.（分数：2.00）A.easy jobB.tough taskC.must-be jobD.arranged task(2).It is quite _ for Chinese people to open the gift in front of the givers.（分数：2.00）A.usualB.normalC.abnormalD.unusual(3).Gift giving is the same thing in China and America in that _.（分数：2.00）A.people spend a lot
40、of time preparing a giftB.people would cash out the gift immediatelyC.people are eager to get a gift from a friendD.people are less willing to give gifts(4).Which of the following is the author“s suggestion?（分数：2.00）A.Open the gift immediately in front of the giver.B.Wrap the gift carefully.C.Expres
41、s the appreciation for the gift you receive.D.Buying a present card to avoid the trouble in shopping.(5).The author“s attitude towards gift giving is _.（分数：2.00）A.indifferentB.protestingC.objectiveD.supportive六、Passage 3(总题数：1，分数：10.00)They already guide blind and disabled people; now dogs are to be
42、 trained to help people with dementia (痴呆). The duties of these “guide dogs for the mind“ will include reminding their owners to take medication, as well as encouraging them to eat, drink and sleep at regular intervals. The dementia dogs will be trained to respond to sound triggers in the home that
43、prompt them to perform tasks. These could include delivering a bite-proof bag of medicine with a note inside reminding the patient to take it, or waking them up in the morning. The idea was developed by design students at the Glasgow School of Art and will now be put into practice by Alzheimer“s Sco
44、tland and Dogs for the disabled. Joyce Gray of Alzheimer“s Scotland said: “People in the early stages of dementia are still able to live a relatively normal life, and dogs help to maintain routine.“ The other advantage of using the pets as companions is that conversation can be increasingly confusin
45、g for people with Alzheimer“s, but dogs can give them a sense of silent support and companionship. People light up when they see animals. They don“t need to communicate verbally but they can still interact. You can have a speechless bond. The dog would also encourage the owner to take them out for w
46、alks, ensuring they keep exercising and interacting with other people.（分数：10.00）(1).As is mentioned in the passage, the guide dogs will do the following except for _.（分数：2.00）A.helping ensure the owner doing some exercisesB.reminding the owner to take medicineC.communicating with the owner in a non-
47、verbal wayD.helping the owner recover from the illness(2).Who will train the dogs to perform such tasks?（分数：2.00）A.The students who developed the idea.B.The owners of the dogs.C.The experts in Alzheimer“s Scotland.D.It is not mentioned in the passage.(3).What is true about the people suffering from
48、dementia?（分数：2.00）A.They would like to stay with other people.B.They can maintain routine.C.They will gradually lose the ability to live a normal life.D.They would like to talk in a different way.(4).The guide dogs helping the people with dementia will _.（分数：2.00）A.respond to the owners“ orderB.resp
49、ond to a sound deviceC.act on the owners“ instructionsD.act on the trainers“ order(5).Having a conversation with people with dementia will be _.（分数：2.00）A.difficultB.interestingC.confusingD.encouraging七、Passage 4(总题数：1，分数：10.00)It seems obvious that you don“t give away your product for free but this is exactly what indie rock group The C
