2、nding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center. 0 I suppose that the most basic and powerful way to connect to another person is to listen. Just listen. Perhaps the most important thing we ever give each other is our attention, and especially if its given from the heart. When
3、 people are talking, theres no need to do anything but receive them. Listen to what theyre saying. Care about it. Most limes caring a-bout it is even more important than understanding it. Most of us dont value ourselves or our love enough to know this. It has taken me a long time to believe in the p
4、ower of simple saying “Im so sorry. “ when someone is in pain. One of my patients told me that when she tried to tell her story people often interrupted to tell her that they once had something just like that happening to them. Her pain became a story about themselves. Eventually she stopped talking
5、 to most people. We connect through listening. When we interrupt what someone is saying to let them know that we understand, we move the focus of attention to ourselves. When we listen, they know we care. I have even learned to respond to someone crying by just listening. In the old days 1 used to r
6、each for the handkerchiefs, until I realized that passing a person a handkerchief may be just another way to shut him down, to take them out of their experience of sadness. Now I just listen. When they have cried all they need to cry, they find me there with them. This simple thing has not been that
7、 easy to learn. It certainly went against everything I had been taught since I was very young. 1 thought people listened only because they were too shy to speak or did not know the answer. But now I know that a loving silence often has far more power to heal than the kindest words. 1 What does the a
8、uthor value most in the communication with each other? （ A） Deep understanding. （ B） Saying “Im sorry“. （ C） Attention from heart. （ D） Doing nothing. 2 The womans patient stopped telling her story to most people because_. （ A） she didnt get enough respect from others （ B） she was discouraged by bei

12、sical health of mankind. There seems no doubt that the general character of the landscape, the relative length of day and night, and the climate must all play a big part in determining what kind of people we are. It is true that a few studies have been made. Where all the inhabitants of a particular
13、 area enjoy exceptionally good or bad health, scientists have identified contributory factors such as the presence or absence of substances like iodine, fluoride, calcium, or iron in the water supply, or perhaps types of land that provide breeding places for pests like mosquitoes or rats. Moreover,
14、we can all generalize about types of people we have met. Those living in countries with long dark winters are apt to be less talkative and less vivacious(活泼 )than inhabitants of countries where the climate is more equable(稳定 ). And where the olive and the orange grow, there the inhabitants are cheer
15、ful, talkative, and spontaneous. But these commonplace generalizations are inadequate: the influence of climate and geography should be studied in depth. Do all mountain dwellers live to a ripe old age? Does the drinking of wine, rather than beer, result in a sunny and open temperament? Is the stren
16、gth and height of one of the Kenyan tribes due to their habitual drinking of the blood of cows? We are not yet sure of the answers to such questions, but let us hope that something of benefit to mankind may eventually result from such studies. 6 _ might serve as a suitable title for this passage. （
17、A） The Importance of Geographical Environment （ B） The Influence of Geographical Environment on Man （ C） Generalization of Types of People （ D） Geographical Environment, a Mysterious Subject 7 Using context clues we may infer that “iodine, fluoride and calcium“ are _. （ A） substances which act posit
18、ively or negatively on mans health （ B） harmful substances in the water supply （ C） substances which help provide breeding places for pests （ D） substances which help make the inhabitants cheerful and talkative 8 We may infer from the third paragraph that geography and climate play an important role
19、 in determining the inhabitants _. （ A） health condition （ B） personality （ C） life-span （ D） all of the above 9 According to the author, research into the influence of geography and climate should （ A） focus on some unknown aspects （ B） be pursued on a large scale （ C） be carried out within a large
20、r scope （ D） go much deeper 10 The author hopes that studies on the influence of geographical environment will enable us to _. （ A） generalize better about types of people （ B） find better water supplies （ C） gain an insight into its influence on mankind （ D） live to ripe old age 10 Teenagers who dr
21、ink alcohol are at higher risk of becoming victims of violence, a Cardiff University study has found. A team from the School of Dentistrys Violence Research Group studied drinking habits in children aged 1116 in England. They found not only a link between drink and violence but also that children wh
22、o drank were more likely to be hit, even if they were not violent themselves. The researchers are now calling for measures to prevent alcohol misuse to reduce injury risk. Current policy focuses on reducing aggression but this research shows that there should be equal effort to reduce victimization.
23、 More than 4,000 children were surveyed at 13 schools at four local authorities in the North, the Midlands, London, and the South. The study found that 25% of 11 year olds were drinking monthly and 3.6% daily, with 12.8% admitting to getting drunk 3 to 5 times a year. By the age of 16,40% were drink
24、ing weekly and 6.2% were drinking every day. The research also showed 22.6% of 16 year olds were getting drunk more than 21 times a year. The study, which has just been published in the Journal of Adolescence, found a strong link between frequency of drinking and frequency of hitting other people. H
25、owever, children who reported drinking monthly were also three times more likely to be hit. Adolescents who drank but didnt get into fights were more likely to be hit than those who did fight. Professor Jonathan Shepherd, who led the research, said a lot of previous alcohol-related violence work had
26、 focused on the offenders rather than the victims. His team is calling for more prevention work from parents and teachers in the first two years of secondary school by taking advantage of the “teachable moment“, that is, immediately after a student has missed school because of drunkenness. Previous
27、work by Professor Jonathan Shepherd has shown drinkers may be more at risk of violence because of reduced physical coordination, poor decision-making in threatening sit nations and isolation while out late at night. He said, “This new study seems to be the first to show a direct link between alcohol
28、 misuse and victimization. There now needs to be much more effort put into reducing alcohol misuse in order to reduce injury. “ 11 The main idea of the passage is that teenagers who drink alcohol_. （ A） often offend other people （ B） often become injured （ C） are more likely to become victims of vio
29、lence （ D） are more likely to fight with others 12 The underlined word “aggression“ in the third paragraph probably means “_“. （ A） violence （ B） sad feelings （ C） bad manners （ D） drunkenness 13 The research argues that more effort should be made to_. （ A） reduce aggression （ B） prevent fighting （
30、C） reduce victimization （ D） prevent drinking alcohol 14 Drinkers may be more at risk of violence because of all the following EXCEPT_. （ A） reduced physical coordination （ B） isolation while out late at night （ C） a higher frequency of hitting other people （ D） poor decision-making in threatening s
31、ituations 15 Which of the following statements is NOT true according to Professor Shepherds research? （ A） The frequency of children getting drunk increases with age. （ B） His previous alcohol-related violence work had focused on the offenders. （ C） Some children missed school because of drunkenness
32、. （ D） This new study shows a direct link between alcohol misuse and victimization. 15 Africans see many advantages in uniting the continent into a single nation, or in uniting several small nations of a particular region into a nation. In unity there is strength. Africans often point to the United
33、States, formed by the original 13 states, as an illustration of this principle. Africa now is divided into many weak nations; united they would be much stronger. Africans could then more easily deal with foreign efforts to control them. Also it would be easier and less expensive to plan and carry ou
34、t big projects like the building of highways and dams. The considerations for African unity go beyond the practical advantages it would bring. As we have seen, the feeling of belonging to a particular nation is not strong among Africans. If, for example, you were to ask a man from Paris, “What are y
35、ou?“ he would certainly answer, “A Frenchman.“ Ask the same question of a man from Ibadan in Nigeria and he might give one of three answers, or all three, depending upon his education and outlook. He might say, “A Yoruba“(his people), or “A Nigerian“, or just simply “An African“ . Another factor tha
36、t enters into the desire for unity is that educated Africans throughout the continent feel that they all have many things in common. Africas leaders, especially, all lived through the experience of colonial rule. Many of them went to school and university with men who now lead other African countrie
37、s. They all feel resentful about the way in which they were treated in the past. Compared to these strong bonds, which overshadow the borders of nations, the idea of building separate nations does not have so much meaning. Some leaders say they are ready, in fact, to give up their separate nations.
38、Four nations have written into their constitutions a provision that the government may give up its power to a Pan-African government. 16 The following advantages in the unity of Africa are true EXCEPT_. （ A） they can get rid of foreign influences with less difficulties （ B） they will be stronger （ C
39、） they could spend less money in building their unity （ D） they can be united into 13 states as the U.S.A. once was 17 The first factor that Africans consider African unity is that_. （ A） Africans dont have a strong sense of belonging （ B） Africans dont like colonial rule （ C） they should reduce con
40、flict among nations （ D） Africans are ignorant of their history 18 According to the passage, all educated Africans _. （ A） feel regretful for what they did to each other in the past （ B） are indignant about Africans suffering in colonial time （ C） were once schoolmates （ D） like to expand their coun
41、tries 19 The word underlined “overshadow“ most probably means “_“. （ A） go beyond （ B） strengthen （ C） reflect （ D） divide 20 From the passage, we may judge “a Pan-African government“ refers to_. （ A） a government with absolute power （ B） a separate country （ C） a unity of Africa （ D） a constitution
