14.The text message answered by Aaron Amrich was sent by a 19-year-old woman who wrote that she was feeling hopeless and beginning to give up on life.Aaron,a veteran (老兵) who served in Afghanistan and Iraq,has himself suffered from post-traumatic stress disorder and depression.He understood the feeling.
For the past year,Aaron has been volunteering with the Crisis Text Line (CTL),a free,confidential 24-hour service that people in need of a lifeline can access via the number 741741.The line currently has 1,500 volunteer Crisis Counselors (顧問) across the country and has exchanged more than 19 million texts-50,000 messages a day.
As he had been instructed,Aaron"listened"openly and nonjudgmentally to the young woman.He didn't offer advice; he didn't try to help her solve her problems.Mostly,his messages mirrored back what he'd heard from her,occasionally emphasizing a strength that he'd noticed-like the fact that she d taken this step to help herself even in the midst of her depression.
"A lot of people have an overwhelming loneliness,"he says."Sometimes it takes a stranger to say,‘Hey,you've been through hell,but you've been helping yourself.If you can do that,you can do more.'Many people reply,‘I've never thought about it that way.'''
The goal of a crisis line,explains Nancy Lublin,who runs the CTL,is narrow.Ifs not a cure; it's meant to bring people from"a moment of hot to a moment of cool,"so counselors can suggest ways the texter can move to a place of increased safety.Researchers are excited about the text line."Teens are unwilling to use crisis services,"observes Anthony Pisani,a suicide-prevention researcher."But the CTL offers a layer of protection from the shame of expressing your weaknesses."
As for the woman with whom Aaron was communicating,the opportunity to share her feelings with an empathetic person appeared to help."She said she couldn't remember the last time anyone had told her they believed in her,"Aaron recalls.She ended the conversation the way people often do,by texting,"Thanks for listening."

28.The 19-year-old women in the passage is a typical example of those whoD.
A.have served in the army
B.have given up on life
C.volunteer to help through
D.a(chǎn)re helped out by the CTL service
29.How has Aaron been instructed to help people in need?A
A.He gives them a lifeline they need.
B.He listens and makes some suggestions.
C.He shares their feelings and recognizes their strength.
D.He provides them solutions to their problems.
30.The underlined sentence in paragraph 5 meansC.
A.to help people to calm down
B.to take people to a cooler place
C.to bring people a moment of comfort
D.to increase people's awareness of safety
31.One of the benefits of CTL according to Anthony Pisani is thatB.
A.the texters can be moved to a safer place
B.the texters needn't be ashamed to express their weaknesses
C.teens are protected by the Crisis Counselors through CTL
D.teens are brave enough to seek crisis services.

分析 文章主要講述了創(chuàng)立的CTL去幫助一些像Aaron Amrich 一樣的人.

解答 28.D 細(xì)節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)文章內(nèi)容"For the past year,Aaron has been volunteering with the Crisis Text Line (CTL)"可知,這位女性得到了CTL的幫助,故選D.
29.A 細(xì)節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)文章內(nèi)容"a free,confidential 24-hour service that people in need of a lifeline can access via the number 741741."一個(gè)免費(fèi)的、保密的24小時(shí)服務(wù),生命線的需要的人可以通過741741號(hào).故選A.
30.C  細(xì)節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)文章內(nèi)容"Ifs not a cure; it's meant to bring people from"a moment of hot to a moment of cool,"so counselors can suggest ways the texter can move to a place of increased safety."可知,CTL可以給人們帶來片刻的慰藉.故選C.
31.B  細(xì)節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)文章內(nèi)容"But the CTL offers a layer of protection from the shame of expressing your weaknesses"但CTL提供一層從表達(dá)你的弱點(diǎn)的恥辱保護(hù).可知本題的答案為B.

點(diǎn)評(píng) 題目涉及多道細(xì)節(jié)理解題,做題時(shí)結(jié)合原文和題目有針對(duì)性的找出相關(guān)語句進(jìn)行仔細(xì)分析,結(jié)合選項(xiàng)選出正確答案.推理判斷題也是要在抓住關(guān)鍵句子的基礎(chǔ)上合理的分析才能得出正確答案,切忌胡亂猜測(cè),一定要做到有理有據(jù).

19.Walking down the city streets,you look up and see(61)ared telephone box.Behind it,on the road,a big red double-floor bus passes by,(62)carrying(carry) citizens and tourists.This is London.And the red is what the city is famous (63)for.
Modern transportation has changed the way we lead our lives.One important means of transport has been the bus.In London,buses take on a bigger role.They are used to visit the city.Red tourist buses have open(64)roofs(roof),which let people take photos,have an amazing view of the city and enjoy(65)themselves(them) as they drive past Big Ben,the Thames and so on.
But how did the bus become unique to London culture?Horse-drawn buses enjoy a history of more than 180 years.They(66)have been used(use) in London since 1829.By the early 20th century,motor-buses were driving around London.Bus companies used different colors at the time.One of the(67)biggest(big) companies chose red because the bright colour made(68)iteasy for the citizens to pick out the bus.In 1933,when London transport was grouped into a single company,they chose the most(69)widely(wide)used color at the time-red.
And so the color red stayed in London.But it was in the mid-1950s(70)thatthe red double-floor was born.Its name is the Routemaster.Built between 1954 and 1968,they still look traditional.Like they have been frozen in time.

Dear Mary,
I'm so glad to hear from you.butDear Mary,
Iam so glad to hear from you.but Ifeel so desperately sorry to learn that you are depressed about some extra weight you have put on recently.To begin with,being fat or slim is merely a matter of personal opinion.With different people holding different views on this subject,there is no agreed standard for an ideal figure.So there is no need for you to worry about.What's more,it being fit that is the most important for us.Only when you have a healthy body can you live to the fullest.As far as Iam concerned,you can do some sports daily by which means you can keep healthy.Most importantly,it is suggested that you should go on a balanced diet at the same time,thus doing good to your health.Ihope what Isaid above can be of great help to you.a(chǎn)fter all,health is to us what water is to life.Iam looking forward to hearing your good news.
Best wishes!
Yours forever,
Li Hua
Yours forever,
Li Hua.
