Gates also got to sit down with Piketty himself after reading the nonfiction work to discuss the topic.“As I told him, although I have concerns about some of his secondary points and policy prescriptions, I agree with his most important conclusions: inequality is a growing problem and governments should play a role in reducing it.”How Asia Works, by Joe StudwellStudwells work, which was published in May xx, addresses how countries such as Japan, South Korea and China have continued to achieve high growth, and why other countries have failed to do the same.“The agriculture section of the book was particularly insightful.

Making the Modern World came out late in xx and explores the global use of materials, from silicon to wood and plastic.“If anyone tries to tell you were using fewer materials, send him this book.

When somebody asks her，“How do you hear？” She responds, “How do you hear? Is it only with your ears？” For Glennie, and for us too, listening is not only hearing, but is understanding. We need to listen to what is said and unsaid, and also how it is said.Its important to hear what people say accurately. As Mark Twain said，“The difference between the right word and the almost right word is the difference between lightning and the lightning bug (萤火虫)” If you miss something or youre not sure youve heard accurately, ask the speakers. At this point youre not evaluating what they say, but just looking for accuracy and understanding. Here are some ways to get clear about what they say and dont say. Why are they saying this now, instead of sooner or later? Why are they emphasizing these points, instead of something else?Listen to how it is said. People send signals about what they mean with their voices and body language that sometimes differ from the words they say. While going through the next points, think about someone whose real meaning you might sometimes miss, and see if any of these signals might e up. First, voices. When others speak, notice changes in their volume, pace, and tone. Second, body language. Notice gestures, eye contact, and facial expressions. Do these sync what they are saying, or do they tell a different story? Third, emotions. What is the person true feeling? Now you might not know for sure, but be considerate, open to understanding, and ask thoughtful questions.语篇解读：本文讲述了聆听的内涵。我们要听懂说话人想要表达的言外之意，并且要注意说话方式。5Whats the writers purpose of mentioning Evelyn Glennie?ATo give an example of wise words.BTo introduce a worldfamous musician.CTo help explain the meaning of listening.DTo encourage us to fight against disability.解析：选C推理判断题。根据第一段中的“For Glennie, and for us too, listening is not only hearing, but is understanding.”可知，对于Glennie和“我们”来说，聆听不仅是用耳朵听而且是理解，这里说明了聆听的内涵。所以选项C正确。6What can we learn from what Mark Twain said?AIt is important to have a good knowledge of English words.BPeople should know words can be used in many different ways.CEnglish is a very plicated language with a large vocabulary.DThe slight difference between words may result in misunderstanding.解析：选D推理判断题。根据第二段中的“Its important to hear what people say accurately.”和“At this point youre not evaluating what they say, but just looking for accuracy and understanding.”可知，准确听懂说话者的意思很重要。因此，选项D“词语的细微差异可能导致误解”与Mark Twain所说的话意思相吻合。7What does the underlined word “sync” in the last paragraph probably mean?AMatch.BProve.CDescribe. DAnalyze.解析：选A词义猜测题。画线词前的修饰词these指代前一句中的“gestures, eye contact, and facial expressions”；再根据画线词后的“what they are saying, or do they tell a different story”可推断，match与画线词意思相近。故选A。8Which is the best title for this passage?ASpeak While You Listen BListen Beyond WordsCRead Between Lines DThink as You Talk解析：选B标题归纳题。本文主要说明通过观察说话人的说话方式来听懂说话人想表达的言外之意。所以选B。C(xx海口调研)Students at Harvard this term have been doing something for the first time in the universitys long history. They promise not to cheat, or more specifically, to sign up to an honor code in which they promise to stick to values of academic integrity (学术诚信). It means students at the wellknown US university have to promise not to cheat in exams.Brett Flehinger, a professor at Harvard, says students now write their own “personal response” to the honor code before starting term, repeat their promise when registering and then again before taking exams.Harvards adoption of an honor code follows a widelyknown cheating event in xx. On one exam paper, more than a hundred students were investigated and about 70 later faced punishment.An annual survey was conducted by the student newspaper, the Harvard Crimson. The survey, based on a sample of more than 70% of new students, also asked about cheating. It found 9% admitted to having cheated in an exam. There were others who had cheated in homework, academic work and other assignments.So will students be stopped from cheating by a promise?A study published in October by the US National Bureau of Economic Research found “strong evidence” of cheating from at least 10% of students. “It is not surprising that students cheat they have enough reasons to do so, and the likelihood of getting caught is low，” concluded the study. “What is perhaps more surprising is that so little effort is devoted to catching cheating students.”Would an honor code make a difference?Sir Cary Cooper, a professor at Manchester Business School, says, “I dont think it actually stops the cheating that much. A university will have it because it gives specific moral guidance about what is incorrect behavior.”语篇解读：本文是一篇议论文。哈佛大学为了防止学生在考试中作弊，在注册和考试前让学生签署诚信守则，以此来提升学术诚信度。9Whats the main purpose of Harvards honor code?ATo spread knowledge.BTo prevent students cheating in exams.CTo punish students cheating in exams.DTo introduce results of failing in the exams.解析：选B细节理解题。根据第一段第三句及第一段内容可知，哈佛大学的诚信守则的主要目的是防止学生考试作弊。故选B。10What made Harvards honor code appear?AThe survey by the Harvard Crimson.BA lot of Harvards students suggestions.CThe influence from the other US universities.DA number of Harvards students cheating in exams.解析：选D细节理解题。根据第三段第一句及第三段内容可知，作弊事件迫使哈佛大学采用诚信守则制度。故选D。11What do we know about the new students of Harvard?ANobody admitted having cheated in exams.BSome of them cheated in academic work.CAll of them cheated on homework.DThey didnt cheat in exams.解析：选B细节理解题。根据第四段最后一句及第四段内容可知，一些哈佛新生曾在学术作业中作弊过。故选B。12What may be the best title for the text?AStudents at Harvard are learning to behave honestly in examsBHarvard is working on the exam paper about cheatingCHarvard forces students to follow the honor codeDStudents at Harvard are tired of cheating in exams解析：选A标题归纳题。本文主要介绍哈佛大学为了防止学生在考试中作弊，采用了诚信守则制度，因此A项“哈佛学生正学习在考试中诚信”适合做文章标题。故选A。D(xx福州五校第一次联考)There is a popular saying in the English language：“Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me.” Well, that is not true. Unkind words, namecalling or even the socalled “the silent treatment” can hurt children as much as being physically hit, sometimes even more so.A recent study of middle school children showed that verbal (言语的) abuse by other children can harm development in the brain. The study was a project of researchers at Harvard Medical School in Massachusetts. Researcher Martin Teicher and his team studied young adults, aged 18 to 25. These young men and women had not ever been treated in a cruel or violent way by their parents. The researchers asked the young people to rate their childhood exposure to verbal abuse from both parents and other children. Then the researchers performed imaging tests on the brains of the subjects.The images showed that the people who reported suffering verbal abuse from peers in middle school had underdeveloped connections between the left and right side of the brain. The two sides of the brain are connected by a large bundle of connecting fibers called the corpus callosum. This was the area that was underdeveloped.The middle school years are a time when these brain connections are developing. So, unkind, hurtful ments from children or adults during this period have the greatest effect. The researchers tested the mental and emotional condition of all the young people in the study. The tests showed that this same group of people had higher levels of fear, depression, anger and drug abuse than others in the study.The researchers published their findings online on the American Journal of Psychiatrys website.Parents cannot control what other people say to their children, but they can prepare their children.语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。马萨诸塞州哈佛医学院的研究人员发现，语言暴力会干扰大脑神经的连接，对孩子的大脑发育造成不良影响。13Why does the author use the popular saying at the beginning?ATo show the power of words.BTo introduce an opposite view.CTo prove the authors argument.DTo show ancient peoples wisdom.解析：选B作者意图题。引用名人名言、谚语等是文章开篇的常见写作方式，且大多用来引出文章的话题。但是根据此谚语后面的“Well, that is not true. Unkind words . sometimes even more so.”可知，本文引用这个谚语恰恰是为了引出一个不同的或者说是相反的观点，故选B。14What will be discussed in the next paragraph?Aments on the findings.BApproaches to further studies.CSuggestions to parents.DDifferent opinions on the matter.解析：选C推理判断题。根据文章最后一段的内容可知，作者接下来应该会就“父母如何帮助自己的孩子为可能遭受的语言暴力做好准备，使他们不会受到语言暴力的影响”给出一些方法或建议。故选C。15What is the main idea of the passage?AThe way we speak matters.BVerbal violence should be stopped.CUnkind words hurt the brain.DWords are worse than sticks and stones.解析：选C主旨大意题。文章介绍了语言暴力对孩子的不良影响，再根据文中的“verbal (言语的) abuse by other children can harm development in the brain”可以看出，其影响主要体现在孩子的大脑发育方面。故选C。.阅读七选五(xx合肥第二次质量检测)Empathy, the Key to Being KindIn science class, your teacher tells everyone to find a partner for a project.
