One day, when I was working as a psychologist in England，an adolescent boy showed up in my office. It was David. He kept walking up and down restlessly, his face pale, and his hands shaking slightly. His head teacher had referred him to me. "This boy has lost his family," he wrote. "He is understandably very sad and refuses to talk to others, and I'm very worried about him. Can you help?”
I looked at David and showed him to a chair. How could I help him? There are problems psychology doesn’t have the answer to, and which no words can describe. Sometimes the best thing one can do is to listen openly and sympathetically
The first two times we met, David didn't say a word. He sat there, only looking up to look at the children's drawings on the wall behind me. I suggested we play a game of chess. He nodded. After that he played chess with me every Wednesday afternoon一in complete silence and without looking at me. It's not easy to cheat in chess, but I admit I made sure David won once or twice.
Usually, he arrived earlier than agreed. took the chess board and pieces from the shelf and began setting them up before I even got a chance to sit down. It seemed as if he enjoyed my company. But why did he never look at me?
"Perhaps he simply needs someone to share his pain with," I thought. "Perhaps he senses that I respect his suffering.” Some months later, when we were playing chess, he looked up at me suddenly.
"It’s your turn," he said.
After that day, David started talking. He got friends in school and joined a bicycle club. He wrote to me a few times about his biking with some friends, and about his plan to get into university. Now he had really started to live his own life.
Maybe I gave David something. But I also learned that one一without any words一can reach out to another person. All it takes is a hug, a shoulder to cry on, a friendly touch, and an ear that listens.
36. When he first met the author, David .
A. felt a little excited
B. walked energetically
C. looked a little nervous
D. showed up with his teacher
37. As a psychologist, the author .
A. was ready to listen to David

【解析】
36. 细节理解题。根据关键词David定位信息于第一段。根据信息He kept… walking up and down restlessly（不安地），可以判断选项C为正确答案。nervous与原文中的restlessly为同义词不同词性的复现。
37. D．推理判断题。从第二段末两句，作者对于精神病的看法可以得知，作者对于精神病例的治疗很有治疗经验，判断作者对于治疗David的病“很有把握”，D项为正确答案。
干扰项排除：A项“愿意倾听David的诉说”为最大干扰项。貌似与原文第二段末句Sometimes the best thing one can do is to listen openly and sympathetically（有时候能为患者做的最好的事情是以坦诚和同情心去倾听）从逻辑上一致，但本句仅为作者对于精神病患者从笼统意义上的看法，该项错在了推理过度。B项“对于精神病学持怀疑态度”，根据文章首段首句“作者是一个精神病医生“可排除该项。C项“能够描述David的病情，与第二段第二句There are problems…no words can describe相悖。
38. 推理判断题。根据关键词enjoyed being with the author定位信息于原文第三段第二句。详读整段文字，寻找原因（他的表现）。根据首句Usually, he arrived earlier than agreed（他通常都比约定时间早到），结合末句It seemed as if he enjoyed my company，可以推断，作者通过David通常都早来的表现，得出David很喜欢和自己呆在一起。看选项，D项“因为他在下棋时容忍了作者好多次”符合逻辑。
39. 推理判断题。根据第四段末句和第五段：Some months later, when we were playing chess, he looked up at me suddenly. "It’s your turn," he said.知道，几个月后的一天David开始看我并开始对我说话了。再根据第六段全段可知：从那天起，他开始说话，并且交了朋友、参加了社团等”，而且从此“开始了新生活（末句）”。而且根据He wrote to me a few times，得知，这些都是他结束治疗写信告诉我的，判断：A项“几个月的治疗之后，他痊愈了。”为正确答案。
40．推理判断题。立足全文：作者对David在治疗过程中的描述中，David在治疗的前几个月，“didn't say a word”，“in complete silence and without looking at me”以及作者的思索“Perhaps he senses that I respect his suffering”可知作者对于David的治疗主要采取的是无声的陪伴。故D为正确答案：是“作者与他的无声交流”使David改变了。同时D选项也符合末段第二句交代的文章主旨：But I also learned that one一without any words一can reach out to another person. （有时候一个人可以不需要用言语也可以深入到另一个人的内心）。
【难句学习】
1．He sat there, only looking up to look at the children's drawings on the wall behind me.
【翻译】他坐在那里，只是抬头看着我身后的墙上的几幅儿童画。
【分析】本句的主句为He sat there，only looking…为现在分词作伴随状语。
2．It's not easy to cheat in chess, but I admit I made sure David won once or twice.
【翻译】下棋不太容易作弊，但是我承认，我会确保让David赢上一两次。
【分析】本句为并列句结构，but引导表转折意义的并列分句。第一个分句中，it为形式主语，to cheat in chess为不定式作真实主语。在第二个分句中，I admit之后为省略了that的宾语从句。
3．Usually, he arrived earlier than agreed. took the chess board and pieces from the shelf and began setting them up before I even got a chance to sit down.
【翻译】通常他都比约定的时间来得早，然后架子上拿出棋盘和棋子，在我有空坐下来之前开始摆棋子。
【分析】本句中，before引导了一个时间状语从句。主句中，he为主语，arrived, took, began为并列谓语动词。
4． But I also learned that one一without any words一can reach out to another person. All it takes is a hug, a shoulder to cry on, a friendly touch, and an ear that listens.
【翻译】但是我同时也明白了：有时候一个人不需要用言语也可以走进到另一个人的内心深处。
【分析】本句的主体结构为But I also learned…，that之后为宾语从句，without any words为插入语。

Among the more colorful characters of Leadville’s golden age were H. A. W. Tabor and his wife, Elizabeth McCourt, better known as “Baby Doe”. Their history is fast becoming one of the legends of the Old West.
Horace Austin Warner Tabor was a school teacher in Vermont. Then he moved west to the small Colorado mining camp known as California Gulch, which he later renamed Leadville when he became its leading citizen. “Great deposits of lead are sure to be found here.” he said.
As it turned out, it was silver, not lead, that was to make Leadville’s fortune and wealth. Tabor knew little about mining himself, so he opened a general store, which sold everything from boots to salt, flour, and tobacco. It was his custom to “grubstake” prospective miners, in other words, to supply them with food and supplies, or “grub”, while they looked for ore（矿石）, in return for which he would get a share in the mine if one was discovered. He did this for a number of years, but no one that he aided ever found anything of value.
Finally one day in the year 1878, so the story goes, two miners came in and asked for “grub”. Tabor had decided to quit supplying it because he had lost too much money that way. These were persistent, however, and Tabor was too busy to argue with them. “Oh help yourself. One more time won’t make any difference,” He said and went on selling shoes and hats to other customers. The two miners took $17 worth of supplies, in return for which they gave Tabor a one-third interest in their findings. They picked a barren place on the mountain side and began to dig. After nine days they struck a rich vein of silver. Tabor bought the shares of the other two men, and so the mine belonged to him alone. This mine, known as the “Pittsburgh Mine,” made $1,300,000 for Tabor in return for his $17 investment.
Later Tabor bought the Matchless Mine on another barren hillside just outside the town for $117,000. This turned out to be even more fabulous than the Pittsburgh, yielding $35,000 worth of silver per day at one time. Leadville grew. Tabor became its first mayor, and later became lieutenant governor of the state.
1.Leadville got its name for the following reasons EXCEPT that
A.Tabor became its leading citizen.
B.great deposits of lead is expected to be found there.
C.it could bring good fortune to Tabor
D.it was renamed
2.The underlined word “grubstake” in Paragraph 3 means
A.to supply miners with food and supplies
B.to open a general stores
C.to do one's contribution to the development of the mine
D.to supply miners with food and supplies and in return get a share in the mine, if one was discovered
3.We can infer that Tabor’s life career is.
A.purely lucky
B.based on his managing theory of “grubstake’
C.through the help from his wife
D.because he planned well and accomplished targets step by step
4.Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?
A．Tabor’s Life. B．A legend of the Old West
C．Lead Makes Leadville’s Fortune D．The Best Investment
