【題目】Be Your Own Best Friend

Why would you want to become your own best friend? There are a number of benefits of creating your own support system from within rather than relying on your partner, friends or family to be there for you when you’re suffering. We all have it in us to give ourselves what we need, without seeking it from outside. 【1】 Here’s how to become your own best friend.

1.Be nice to yourself

The first step in becoming a friend to yourself is to treat yourself like you would treat a friend. 【2】 Start by accepting your good qualities, talents and abilities and begin to appreciate yourself.

2. Imagine how you would support a friend in the same situation

Think about a loved one, a friend, a family member, or someone dear to you and imagine that they are in the same situation you are facing. 【3】 Then consider how to best offer help and advice to them. Allow yourself to feel supported, and give yourself what you need.

Write down the words that you would say to your greatest friend and then say them gently to yourself.

3. 【4】

Following the theme of considering how you would help a dear friend, you need to start taking your own advice and putting your own needs first. Do you need a day off from work? 【5】 Whatever it is that you need, allow yourself to put it at the top of the list rather than the bottom.

Use these methods to become your own best friend and start being there for yourself!

A. Honor your needs

B. Believe in yourself.

C. A long hot bath?

D. Help them first and then they will help you.

E. That means that you need to stop being doubtful of yourself.

F. Think about how they’re struggling, suffering with this problem.

G. Isn’t it far better to know how to support yourself in times of need?

【答案】

【1】G

【2】E

【3】F

【4】A

【5】C

【解析】

試題分析：做你自己最好的朋友。

【1】G考查文章的結(jié)構(gòu)和行文邏輯。該句位于文章總領(lǐng)段落（第一段），根據(jù)語(yǔ)境可知，該空應(yīng)填“Isn’t it far better to know how to support yourself in times of need?”——該反問(wèn)句實(shí)則說(shuō)明上文提到的我們內(nèi)部有自我支持的體系，再個(gè)確定我們可以在需要的時(shí)候自我支持，這就引出了下句“Here’s how to become your own best friend.” 即該題正確答案為G.

【2】E考查文章的結(jié)構(gòu)和行文邏輯。該句在文章“Be nice to yourself”（對(duì)自己好點(diǎn)兒）部分，根據(jù)下句“開(kāi)始欣賞自己”可推知，該句應(yīng)該對(duì)應(yīng)為“停止懷疑自己”，故該題正確答案為E.

【3】F考查文章的結(jié)構(gòu)和行文邏輯。該句在文章“Imagine how you would support a friend in the same situation”（想象一下你將會(huì)如何支持、幫助處于相同處境的朋友）部分，該空前句為想象你的愛(ài)人、朋友、或是家人處于你現(xiàn)在的處境。該空的后句為接著考慮如何最好地給他們提供幫助和建議。那么在這已給的兩個(gè)動(dòng)作中，只能加入的就是“Think about how they’re struggling, suffering with this problem.”（想象他們的感受），故該題正確答案為F.

【4】A考查文章的結(jié)構(gòu)和行文邏輯。該空為文章第三個(gè)建議部分的概括，通讀該部分，可知作者所要提出的建議為“you need to start taking your own advice and putting your own needs first.”，“Whatever it is that you need, allow yourself to put it at the top of the list rather than the bottom. ”即你要尊重你自己的需要。故該題正確答案為A.

【5】C考查文章的結(jié)構(gòu)和行文邏輯。該空所在部分講述的是要尊重你自己的選擇。前句講到假設(shè)的你所需要的一種情況：你需要休假一天嗎？而后句講到無(wú)論你需要的什么，你都要把這種需要放在首要的位置。故該空應(yīng)為和前句所并列的問(wèn)句——你需要洗個(gè)熱水澡嗎？故該題正確答案為C.

【題目】The Great Fire of London started in the very early hours of 2 September 1666. In four days it destroyed more than three-quarters of the old city, where most of the houses were wooden and close together. One hundred thousand people became homeless, but only a few lost their lives.

The fire started on Sunday morning in the house of the King's baker in Pudding Lane. The baker, with his wife and family, was able to get out through a window in the roof. A strong wind blew the fire from the bakery into a small hotel next door. Then it spread quickly into Thames Street. That was the beginning.

By eight o'clock three hundred houses were on fire. On Monday nearly a kilometer of the city was burning along the River Thames. Tuesday was the worst day. The fire destroyed many well-known buildings, old St Paul's and the Guildhall among them.

Samuel Pepys, the famous writer, wrote about the fire. People threw their things into the river. Many poor people stayed in their houses until the last moment. Birds fell out of the air because of the heat.

The fire stopped only when the King finally ordered people to destroy hundreds of buildings in the path of the fire. With nothing left to burn, the fire became weak and finally died out.

After the fire, Christopher Wren, the architect, wanted a city with wider streets and fine new houses of stone. In fact, the streets are still narrow; but he did build more than fifty churches, among them was new St Paul's.

The fire caused great pain and loss, but after it London was a better place: a city for the future and not just of the past.

A. many famous buildings were destroyed

B. the birds in the sky were killed by the fire

C. some people lost their lives

D. the King's bakery was burned down

A. Because Pepys was among those putting out the fire.

B. Because Pepys also wrote about the fire.

C. To give the reader a clearer picture of the fire.

D. To show that poor people suffered most.

【3】How was the fire put out according to the text?

A. Houses standing in the direction of the fire were pulled down.

B. All the wooden houses in the city were destroyed.

C. People managed to get enough water from the river.

D. The king and his soldiers came to help.

【4】Which of the following were reasons for the rapid spread (擴(kuò)散)of the big fire?

【題目】Dining in a completely dark room, unaware what ’s on your plate while sitting next to a complete stranger may not sound like an ideal restaurant experience but it’s certainly an intriguing way to spend a rainy night in London.

Dans le Noir, close to London’s financial district, is a restaurant full of blind waiters and waitresses who become your eyes around the restaurant, whose original Paris branch opened in 2004.

In the bar with the light, you choose whether you want the fish, meat or vegetable, but the dishes themselves remain a secret, as do the ingredients of the “surprise” cocktails. Bags, coats and devices(設(shè)備)that light up, including watches and mobile phones, are kept in the bar. Placing your hand on the shoulder of your guide, you are led to a table in a black dining room that sets up to 60 people. And it is dark.

The waiters tell you when the food is being placed down in front of you, then the fun begins, trying to get food into your mouth, then identifying just what it is that’s on your plate, and finally whether you have missed any of it.

It’s also a great chance to break social convention and eat using your fingers. Those same fingers are also the only way you can tell how much wine you’re pouring into your glass.

The happy atmosphere in the dining room also made the night memorable. You can’t really avoid talking to the person next to you at the long tables and guessing what the dishes are certainly provides adequate fuel for the conversations.

All will be revealed at the end of the meal when you are led back out into the lit bar. Not only do you finally get to see what you’ve just been eating but also who you’ ve been talking to for the last 90 minutes.

【1】What does the underlined word “intriguing.” in the first paragraph mean?

【2】According to the text, “ Dans le Noir”__________.

A is far from London’s financial district

【題目】The Rugby (英式橄欖球) World Cup is currently being held in New Zealand. The tournament, due to finish on October 23, is living up to the famous English saying, “Rugby is a thug's (暴徒) game played by gentlemen. ”

The games are physically aggressive; the tackles (沖撞) on the pitch are brutal; but the end of each match is a civilized affair. Players shake hands and applaud each other. Of course, the other side to this saying is: "Football is a gentleman's game played by thugs. " Indeed, unlike soccer players, rugby players don't often question the referee's (裁判員) decisions or pretend to be injured when they are not.

“Football could learn a lot from rugby," said Brian Moore, a former England rugby player "The wonderful spirit of rugby is: there is a gentlemanly code to it. You play hard on the pitch, but you always respect your opponent..

Rugby is mainly played in Europe. Australia, New Zealand and parts of Africa. "It is more enjoyable to play than soccer because you are always involved in the game," said Peter, a Welsh rugby coach. "Rugby is also a far superior test of strength, stamina (耐力) and determination. "

Most professional rugby players are large, strong and weigh over 90 kilograms. People who play the sport need to be tough and be prepared to get hurt. Black eyes, broken bones, lost teeth and being knocked unconscious—all these are common injuries. Former British Prime Minister Gordon Brown is blind in one eye thanks to a rugby accident at school.

In England, children begin playing the game at school at the age of 8. When they enter high school, many begin to play full contact rugby. Children are taught to play for around one hour a week during their PE lessons. Most schools have a rugby team. Children who play for the school team are usually the sportiest kids, and are seen as brave and athletic.

【1】 What can be concluded from the first three paragraphs?

A. Football players are not real gentlemen.

B. There is a better spirit in playing rugby than football.

C. Football players are not as athletic as rugby players.

D. Brian Moore thinks that rules should be stricter in football.

A. rugby players pretend to be injured when they are not

B. rugby is not very popular in America and Asia

C. rugby makes people enjoy sports better than soccer

D. rugby needs players' strong will rather than strength

【3】The example of Gordon Brown is mentioned in order to .

A. prove that playing rugby can earn people fame

C. support the point that rugby players often get hurt

D. warn teenagers against playing rugby at school

【題目】Paparazzi, or “paps”, are photographers who take pictures of famous people when they are not at the center of public attention. Paps are different from professional photographers or journalists because they never take ordinary photos.

The goal for paparazzi is to get pictures that no one else will get and then sell the pictures to the buyer who offers the most money — normally a small newspaper, magazine or website.

There is no law against paparazzi taking pictures in public places. However, there are laws that protect certain individuals. For example, child protection laws stop improper pictures of anyone under 16 from being published.

There is also no law that stops paparazzi from following celebrities and taking their pictures either. However, if paps are secretly following them and taking pictures of their faces, they could get into trouble.

Most paparazzi hang out on streets and hot spots for celebrities, waiting for the opportunity to take a picture of a star. Many stay on the streets until the early hours of the morning when celebrities are leaving nightclubs and looking a little worse for wear. However, some have other ways to make sure they get pictures. Many paps are in contact with “informers” who know the locations of celebrities at any given time. They then pass the information on to paparazzi. An informer could be anyone — from a restaurant waiter to a salesman.

Most of the time, paparazzi get a bad reputation for following celebrities. But sometimes stars or their managers will contact paps themselves and tell them exactly where and when they will go. What a love-hate relationship between paparazzi and celebrities!

【1】Which of the following things paparazzi might do would be against the law?

A. Getting unsuitable pictures of a 10-year-old actress published.

B. Taking pictures of famous people in public places.

C. Following a famous woman singer secretly and taking her pictures.

D. Hanging out at the places where celebrities often appear.

【2】In order to earn big money a pap has to ________.

A. get the only first-hand pictures

B. sell the pictures to a big newspaper

C. make friends with famous people

D. know the locations of celebrities

【3】The fifth paragraph mainly tells us ________.

A. how paparazzi get the pictures

B. how dangerous paparazzi’s job is

C. how paparazzi contact informers

D. how much paparazzi pay for the pictures

【4】What can we infer from the passage?

A. Paparazzi always take pictures when famous people are tired.

B. Stars hate paparazzi and don’t want to be followed.

C. Paparazzi and famous people rely on each other sometimes.

D. Informers might get paparazzi into trouble.
