She says she is the one who reaches out to people, but rarely do they reach out to her. So, after municating with her for a while, I began to challenge my friends. “Contact someone right now. Send messages or call someone who you havent spoken to for a while, or who you only talk to when they message or call you. Let someone who may feel alone in the world right this moment know that they are not alone. That is my challenge to you. Please do it, and let me know once you have. Either by calling me back, or by sending me a message. Be the change that you want to see in the world.”The response was great. 28 people liked my post, and another 10 posted that they did, and I got about a dozen messages telling me that they did. And there was one very special message.“I just want you to know what has happened. That day, I sent a message to a friend who I hadnt heard from for a while. She and I talked for a whole day back and forth on messages and then on the phone. She said she was so incredibly sad. Nobody has spoken with her in two weeks. By the tone of her voice, and by the conversations we were having, I think she was about to take her own life(自杀). After our conversation, she has agreed to talk to someone. Your message of kindness has saved her. I cant wait to tell you how thankful I am for people like you in the world, who care when nobody else will. I am proud to call myself your friend. Thank you！”I didnt quite know what to say after reading the message. I was wondering how best to use it for greater good. I decided that sharing what we have done is the most powerful way. I know that I am a cheerleader when it es to making the world a better place with kindness, because if I help someone, it makes me feel better. I do it because I need to feel better.篇章导读：本文为记叙文。文中讲述作者的朋友在网上发帖说她总是联系别人，但是很少有人联系她，这使作者非常伤心，于是她决定联系需要帮助的人。1What made the author unhappy?AShe cant reach out to anyone.BNo one responds to her friend.CNone of her friends contacts her.DShe has no time to visit her friends.答案：B细节理解题。根据第一段可知，作者的朋友发帖说她总是联系别人，但是很少有人联系她，这使作者非常伤心。故选B项。2What did the author challenge her friends to do?ATurn to their friends for help.BVisit their families and relatives.CContact someone in need of help.DShare their problems on their page.3What do we know about the special message?ASomeone was saved by her friend.BPeople were too busy to talk with others.CThe girl was sad because no one liked her.DThe author helped her friend by calling her.答案：A推理判断题。根据第三段的内容可知，发帖人主动联系一个朋友，并与她交流很长时间，这次及时的网上沟通挽救了朋友的生命。故选A项。4Which word can best describe the author?ADetermined.BColdhearted.CStubborn.DInspiring.答案：D推理判断题。由文章的内容可知，作者非常有感召力，网上发帖鼓励自己的朋友联系别人，让孤独的人振作起来，而且最后一段中作者也说自己是一个振奋人心的人。故选D项。BSquare dancing is a form of entertainment and physical exercise, which is a good thing. However, a group of senior Chinese ladies dancing in New Yorks Sunset Park were recently faced with noise plaints from nearby residents. The local court even served a summons (传票) related to a certain Ms Wang.The news soon caused heated discussion across China, with many believing the incident to involve a cultural conflict between the East and West, while others view it as a form of discrimination against Chinese in the United States.The United States is a diverse society, and in many cases, Chinese dancers are tolerated and even appreciated. Meanwhile, the United States is a society based on the rule of law, and due to cultural differences, local regulations seem to be very different from those in China. As a result, some old Chinese ladies dancing in New Yorks Sunset Park found themselves caught in an embarrassing situation. Locals and immigrants from other nations view such noise as a violation of their right to enjoy tranquility. Calling the police is regarded as the most efficient way to solve such a problem.Before, these ladies probably did not understand local customs and rules. However, since the incident took place, they should perhaps know a little better next time and keep the noise to a minimum. People from different nations are often supposed to reach promises， respecting and tolerating each other.Whatever your choice of entertainment, it is important not to affect other peoples lives. Square dancing is only one of many activities during which people should mind their behavior.As for US police practice, there might still be some room for improvement. Some were said to be rather rude, leading to the socalled “racial discrimination”， which is a sensitive topic in US society.If the involved parties could be more tolerant, and solve such problems without involving the court, perhaps immigrants would mix more.篇章导读：本文是一篇议论文。文中讲述了一群中国大妈在美国因跳广场舞而被诉至地方法院的事情。作者从中美两国文化差异的角度分析了出现这种事情的原因，并呼吁两国人们要多理解、包容和互相尊重，以促进两国文化的融合和交流。5The writer mentions the incident in Paragraph 1 to _.Ashow his opinionBmake plaintsCbring up the topicDcriticize the local police答案：C推理判断题。根据第一段讲述的内容，以及第二段及下文对该话题的讨论可知，答案为C(引出话题)。6The underlined word “tranquility” in Paragraph 3 can be replaced by _.AentertainmentBquietnessCfreedomDquality7What will the senior Chinese ladies most probably do after the incident?AGo back to China.BFight for their right.
