We were there, as mental health professionals, to offer “psychological first aid” and I was struck by the simple healing power of presence. As we walked in the gate to the shelter, we were greeted with a burst of gratitude (感激) from the first person we met. I felt appreciated, but also guilty, because I hadnt really done anything yet.I first realized the power of presence many years ago when a friends mother passed away unexpectedly. I received a call saying she had just passed away. I wanted to rush down there immediately, but didnt want to intrude (打扰) on this very personal period of sadness. I was torn about what to do. Another friend with me then said, “Just go. Just be there.” I did, and I will never regret it.Since then, I have not hesitated to be in the presence of others. Once I sat at the bedside of a young man suffering from the pain of his AIDSrelated dying. He was not awake, and obviously unaware of others presence. However, the atmosphere was by no means solemn. His family, playing guitars and singing, allowed him to be present with them as though he were still fully alive.In my life, I am repeatedly struck by the healing power of presence. In it, none of us are truly alone. It not only is something we give to others but also changes me for the better.5Why were the hurricane victims grateful to the author?AHe built shelters for them.BHe gave immediate first aid to them.CHe came to stay with them.DHe brought mental health professionals.解析：选C细节理解题。根据第一段的第二句可知，因为“我”在他们受灾时和他们在一起，所以他们感激“我”，故C项正确。6What did the author do when his friends mother passed away?AHe hesitated over whether to go.BHe went to his friends at once.CHe knew what to do instantly.DHe decided not to disturb his friend.解析：选A细节理解题。根据第二段中的“I wanted to rush down there immediately .I was torn about what to do.”可知，“我”想要立即去朋友那里，但又不愿意去打扰朋友，据此可知，当朋友的母亲去世时，“我”犹豫是否要去朋友那里。7What does the underlined word “solemn” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?AHeavy but warm.BA little sad but cosy.CRelaxing and delightful.DVery serious and unhappy.解析：选D词义猜测题。根据第三段最后一句中的“His family, playing guitars and singing”可知，男青年的家人在弹奏吉他并唱歌；结合画线词所在句中的“However .no means”和第三段第二句中的“a young man suffering from the pain of his AIDSrelated dying”可以判断，在家人的陪伴下，气氛并不悲伤和严肃，据此可以判断，画线词意为“严肃的”，故D项正确。8What has the author learned from his experience?AA friend in need is a friend indeed.BBeing present can make a big difference.CThe family harmony is the happiest thing in life.DBeing a volunteer can make ones life more significant.解析：选B推理判断题。根据最后一段的前两句“In my life, I am repeatedly .are truly alone.”并结合第二段的第一句可知，从自己的经历中“我”意识到了“到场”的重要意义，故B项正确。CSquare foot gardening is a type of gardening made popular by Mel Bartholemew.It is based on the idea that the wide rows in traditional gardening are a waste of time, work, water and area.It shows that quality vegetables can be grown in less space with less work.In this method, the garden space is divided into “beds”Each bed is 44(16 sq ft) (120cm120cm, 1.4m2)The beds are separated by paths (小路)These beds are further divided into squares of about one square footmon spacing is one plant per square for larger plants such as broccoli, four per square for medium large plants like lettuce, nine per square for medium small plants like spinach, and sixteen per square for small plants such as onions and carrots.The weeds (杂草) are removed from the beds and the plants are watered from the paths.This stops the soil from being pacted (压紧)Benefits of square foot gardening：Much less work.Normal gardening needs heavy tools to loosen the soil.In this method, the soil is never pacted and it remains loose.Water savings.The loose ground holds the water better.This type of garden needs water less often than other methods.Also, water is placed very near the plant roots.Less water is wasted.Very few weeds.The vegetables form a living mulch (覆盖物) and shade out many weeds before they can start to grow.Pesticides (杀虫剂) are not needed.Natural ways to keep pests away work very well in a close space.Many different types of plants in a small area also stop plant diseases from spreading easily.9Why does square foot gardening bee popular?AIt makes full use of space.BIt is suggested by Mel Bartholemew.CIt provides more vegetables for people.DIt produces vegetables of higher quality.解析：选A细节理解题。根据第一段的“It shows that quality vegetables can be grown in less space with less work.”可知，平方尺菜园能够充分利用空间。10Why is the gardening called square foot gardening?ABecause vegetables are grown in the squares.BBecause you can grow vegetables anywhere by using it.CBecause the smallest bed in it is only one square foot.DBecause the places where vegetables are grown are too small.解析：选C推理判断题。根据其名称和第一段的“These beds are further divided into squares of about one square foot.”可知正确答案。11What can we infer from the text?ALoose soil is good for plant growth.BOnions and carrots need more space.Cpacted soil is important to some plants.DSquare foot gardening needs some heavy tools.解析：选A推理判断题。根据第一段最后一句话和下文“Normal gardening needs heavy tools to loosen the soil.”可知，松散的土壤有利于植物的生长。12Why are there fewer weeds in square foot gardening?ABecause weed killers are used.BBecause weeds cant get sunlight.CBecause weeds are short of water.DBecause weeds have been removed.解析：选B细节理解题。从Benefits of square foot gardening的第三条可知，蔬菜遮住了杂草的阳光，因为见不到阳光，所以杂草很少。D(xx济南高考模拟)I used to believe courtesy was a thing of the past. Very seldom have I encountered a courteous human being in this modern era.Recently, I had to change my thinking, when I came face to face with just such a human being in a coffee place, with my two daughters. The place was crowded as usual and we had to climb steep (陡的) stairs in order to find an empty table. After enjoying coffee and snacks, we went down the narrow stairs, where there was hardly any space for another person to either climb up or e down.Just as I was in the middle of the stairs, a man entered the main entrance of the restaurant which was right in front of the staircase (楼梯). I was sure I would be pushed roughly by this man going up. I kept ing down as fast as I could. My daughters were already down, looking up at me worriedly, hoping I would reach them before the stranger started walking up the stairs, knowing I was a nervous sort.Nearly reaching them, I noticed the man still standing near the door. I reached my daughters and passed the stranger at the entrance door which he kept holding open. I looked back, thinking he was still at the door, deciding whether to go in or find another less crowded place. I saw him going up the stairs, two at a time. I told my daughters about it and all three of us felt bad that we did not even thank the courteous gentleman who was actually holding the door open for us ladies to pass through before going up.Such well mannered people are hard to find these days when pushing is very mon in our advanced but aggressive society. We applauded for his chivalry (彬彬有礼)语篇解读：在这个忙碌的现代社会，彬彬有礼、体贴他人的品质变得尤为珍贵。作者讲述了自己经历的一件事情，并赞扬了这种良好的品质。13What is the meaning of the underlined word “courtesy” in Paragraph 1?AA brave action.

In one study, researchers found that small talk made up only 10% of their conversation related to happiness. _1_ Scientists believe that small talk could promote bonding. Late last year, Princeton researchers reported that small talk keeps closeness with loved ones, and isnt merely the stuff of awkward exchanges with strangers.Still, chatting with strangers could brighten your morning. In a series of experiments, psychologists gave Chicago passengers different directions about whether to talk with fellow passengers something they typically avoided. _2_ None of the chatters reported being rejected.Small talk can also help us feel connected with our surroundings. People who smiled at, made eye contact with, and briefly spoke with their Starbucks baristas (服务员) reported a greater sense of belonging than those who rushed through the transaction (交易). _3_ One report found that when volunteers broke the silence to chat with gallery goers, the visitors felt happier and more connected with the exhibit than those who were not approached._4_ In one study, people who were rated “less curious” by researchers had trouble getting a conversation rolling on their own, and had greater luck building closeness with others when they were supplied with questions that encouraged personal disclosure (透露). But people who were considered “curious” needed no help when transforming conversations about ordinary things into personal exchanges. _5_AThe same is true of gallery goers.BBut dont play down small talk just yet.CThey found that small talk is related to happiness.DThose told to chat with others reported a more pleasant journey.EMaking small talk is an important skill for all the social situations.FA “curious mindset”， the author concluded, can lead to “positive social interactions”GOf course, some people are better than others at turning small talk into something bigger.1选B根据上文的“In one study, researchers . related to happiness.”和下文的“Scientists believe that small talk could promote bonding.”可知，空格前后表示转折关系，所以选B项“但是，不要贬低聊天的重要性”。2选D根据下文的“None of the chatters reported being rejected.”可推知，应选D项。那些被要求去和陌生人聊天的乘客说旅途更加愉快。3选A根据下文的“chat with gallery goers”可知，应选A项。参观美术馆的人也有同样的感受。4选G根据本段中对两类人的介绍可推知，有些人更擅长把聊天话题扩大，所以选G项。5选F根据上文的“But people who were . into personal exchanges.”可推知，具有好奇心的人会与他人进行积极的社交互动，所以选F项。
