2.I am always nervous when I get an email from my parents with"FYI (For Your Information)".My parents are in their late 70s,and while they are quite healthy for their ages.I worry about what messages they are going to give me.
I got such an email in September from my father.He sent an email from my cousin who told that her father,my uncle Reese,had passed away.The news made my mind go blank though I have met him less than a dozen times in my life,because Reese was the first of my parents'siblings (兄弟姐妹) to die,and I was simply not ready for that.
The memorial service was set in Florida,and I quickly decided I needed to go.I needed to be there for my father,and I needed to go for myself.Reese is about nine years older than my father,and I started to do the math in my head.I know that doesn't make sense,but I will do anything to reason that I still have a lot of time before I will be in my cousin's shoes.
Reese's memorial service was small with only family and perhaps a dozen of his friends.The funeral (葬礼) was attended by an even smaller number,and then,the family gathered at a nearby bar to look at old photographs found among Reese's possessions when he died.
As we drove back to the Orlando International Airport,I thought about how I am not sure what my parents want,not only in their memorial services,but also how they want to be remembered and where they want to be laid to rest.These are going to be difficult conversations,but I know I need to have them.Maybe not right now,but we do need to open the discussion at some point.It may feel too early,but I trust my parents will know that when adult children raise these questions,we do it out of love to honor their lives and their wishes.

21.Why do email s with"FYI"make the author uneasy?C
A.She's too busy to read those emails.
B.She dislikes her parents,nonstop talking.
C.She's afraid to get bad news about her parents.
D.They often bring unpleasant news.
22.How did the author feel about the email from her cousin?B
A.Disappointed.B.Shocked.C.Confused.D.Annoyed.
23.What do we know from the third and fourth paragraphs.C
A.A get-together was held at home.
B.Reese's friends didn't appear.
C.The author went to Florida without much hesitation.
D.Quite a few people attended the funeral.
24.What does the author decide to do after the funeral?A
A.Have a talk with her parents about death
B.Express her love for her parents bravely
C.Value her parents'wishes.
D.Get everything ready for her parents.

分析 本文为记叙文.伯父的离去让作者意识到自己尚不清楚父母想要什么,最终决定就"死亡"与父母进行一次谈话.

解答 21.C.推理判断题.依据文章第一段的内容I am always nervous when I get an email from my parents with"FYI (For Your Information可知,作者收到来自父母的带有"FYI"的邮件,总是感到紧张的原因是,自己的父母已经年迈,作者担心他们的身体状况,害怕得到有关他们的坏消息,故选C.
22.B.细节理解题.根据文章第二段中The news made my mind go blank though I have met him less than a dozen times in my life,because Reese was the first of my parent's siblings(兄弟姐妹) to die,and I was simply not ready for that.可知,得知这个消息后,作者的大脑一片空白,因为Reese'是她父母的兄弟姐妹中第一个去世的,作者还没有做好准备.由此可推知,这个消息让作者很震惊.故选B.
23.C.推理判断题.根据第四段The funeral (葬礼) was attended by an even smaller number,and then,the family gathered at a nearby bar to look at old photographs found among Reese's possessions when he died可知葬礼是小规模的,参加的人不多;故选C.
24.A.细节理解题.根据最后一段的内容,尤其是These are going to be difficult conversations,but I know I need to have them.可知,参加完葬礼后,在去机场的途中,作者想了很多,虽然与父母谈论他们的后事为时过早,但是很有必要在他们活着的时候讨论这些事情.故推知作者决定就"死亡"与父母进行一次谈话.故选A.

点评 考察学生的细节理解和推理判断能力,做细节理解题时一定要找到文章中的原句,和题干进行比较,再做出正确的选择.在做推理判断题不要以个人的主观想象代替文章的事实,要根据文章事实进行合乎逻辑的推理判断.

15.根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项.选项中有两项为多余选项.
Most people feel lonely sometimes,but it usually only lasts between a few minutes and a few hours.(36)D In fact,it is quite normal.For some people,though,loneliness can last for years.Psychologists are studying this complex phenomenon,and have identified three different types of loneliness.
The first kind of loneliness is temporary.This is the most common type.It usually disappears quickly and does not require any special attention.The second kind,situation-for example,family problem,the death of a loved one,or moving to a new place.(37)C
The third kind of loneliness is the most severe.Unlike the others,chronic (the opposite of"temporary")usually lasts more than two years and has no specific cause.(38)FUnfortunately,many chronically lonely people think there is little or nothing they can do to improve their condition.
Psychologists agree that one important factor in loneliness is a person's social contacts,for example,friends,family members,co-workers,etc.We depend on various people for different reasons.For instance,our families give us emotional support,our parents and teachers give us guidance,and our friends share similar interests and activities.However,psychologists have found that,though lonely people may have many social contacts,they sometimes feel they should have more.(39)G
Psychologists are trying to find ways to help habitually lonely people for two reasons.They are unhappy and unable to socialize and there is a connection between chronic loneliness and serious illness as heart disease.(40)B

A.It is very difficult to deal with.
B.What's more,temporary and situational loneliness can be a sad,and sometimes dangerous condition.
C.Although it can cause physical problems such as headaches and sleeplessness,it usually does not last for more than a year.
D.This kind of loneliness is not serious.
E.They don't think they are in need of them.
F.People who experience it have problems socializing and becoming close to others.
G.They question their popularity.

Perhaps you have heard the expression—when in Rome, do as the Romans do. So when you want to do business in France, you have to get to know French culture, to make marketing plans, and to run your business by local laws.

1.The French take great pride in their language, so anyone who does not speak it may run the risk of being disrespected by his French colleagues or business partners. Also, another reason why learning French is important is that it is a great way to show every possible French business partner that you care and respect their country’s culture and language.

The first thing you should do when meeting someone new is to shake his hand firmly and always look the person in the eye. In social meeting with friends, kissing is common.

Use first names only after being invited to. 2.The French will sometimes introduce themselves using their surname first, followed by their first name.

Dress well.3.Your business clothing is a reflection of your success and social status. Always try to be tasteful and stylish. Women are advised to dress simply but elegantly. Wearing make-up is practised widely by businesswomen.

The French are passionate about food, so lunches are common in doing business in France, which usually consist of an appetizer, a main meal with wine, cheese, dessert and coffee, and normally take up to two hours.4.

Do not begin eating until the host says “bon appetite”. Pass dishes to the left, keep wrists above the table and try to eat everything on the plate.5.This may suggest that you find the food tasteless. If eating in a restaurant, the person who invites always pays.

A. The French draw information about people based on their appearance.

B. This is a time for relationship building.

C. Remember to be as polite as possible.

D. Language should be the focus of anyone planning to do business in France.

E. Be careful with adding salt, pepper or sauces to your food.

F. Use Monsieur or Madame before the surname.

G. Make an appointment with your business partner in advance.
