D

When Danny Wallace, 26, got bored, he put an ad on the worldwide web reading simply: “Join Me. Send a passport photo.” A year and a half later his east London flat is the headquarters for a global internet-based “club” whose members carry out good deeds for strangers every Friday.

It’s not common for people in London to talk to strangers. If you see someone struggling with something, part of the brain goes “I want to help”. But the trained part of the brain says: “They will think you are mad or going to mug them”, so you walk away.

Join Me now has about 3,000 members around the world who do an act of kindness every Friday. For example, I’m usually out on a Friday so I go for one of the standard acts — the unexpected cup of coffee. You might be sitting in a cafe and see an old man in the corner drinking coffee or tea, and you walk up with another cup of whatever they are drinking , and say: “ I’ve bought you a coffee” and walk away. It’s a pleasure to see the look of surprise on their faces. There can be some suspicion, but I think that was mostly in the early days when I didn’t know how to do it properly. I would walk up quite nervously like I was doing something wrong and I didn’t know when to leave. In the end, I learned through trial and error. Sometimes it worked, other times it didn’t. I discovered that you have to walk up with confidence and humour and not “get in their faces”. You say: “This is for you”, then you go. It’s hit-and-run kindness. And there is no point in doing it half-heartedly. You’ve got to do it because you really mean it.

Join Me is without geographical boundaries, but there are quite a few members in London, and such stories about things happen on the underground or on the buses. One lady got on the bus and put a £10 note down and said: “That’s for me and the next nine people”. So at every stop, anyone who got on was told it was paid for. A lot of people were doing this sort of thing anyway. For them it’s an excuse or reason to do something nice for a complete stranger, and it gives them the confidence to walk up and start chatting.

12. When Londoners see someone in trouble, they _______.

A. often give a hand C. pretend not to have seen it

B. stop and ask questions D. telephone the police

13. According to the passage, members of Join Me often _______.

A. put an advertisement on the worldwide web B. go out and make friends with strangers

C. do an act of kindness every Friday D. buy coffees for the strangers

14. The underlined expression in the third paragraph possibly means _______ .

A. finding something very difficult B. doing something without much effort

C. making a few mistakes D. experimenting to get the right result

15. Which would be the best title for the passage?

A. Hit-and-run Kindness B. History of Join Me

C. Danny Wallace and Join Me D. Why not Join Me

第二节 (共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)

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。

One of the common complaints we hear from the people around us are problems they are facing. Every day and everywhere there are problems. Many times we find it hard to stay happy. When one problem is solved, another one comes up. How to solve them? The answer is that we must equip ourselves to deal with different kinds of worries by learning the three basic steps of problem analysis. The three steps are:

Get the facts

Why is it so important to get the facts? Unless you have the facts, you can’t possibly attempt to solve your problem intelligently. Without the facts, all you can do is wondering around in confusion. It is not an easy job to get facts. When you are worried, your emotions are riding high.    16    .

When trying to get the facts, you can pretend that you are collecting this information not for yourself but for some other person.     17     You can also pretend that you are a lawyer preparing to agree. Try to get all the facts both on your side and the other side of the case. You will generally find the truth lies somewhere in between.

18

Whenever you are worried, write down the questions that make you worry. And write out all the various steps you could take and then the probable consequences of each step. For example, what am I worrying about? What can I do about it? Here is what I’m going to do about it. After carefully weighing all the facts, you can calmly come to a decision.

Act on that decision.

19    How can you break the worry habit before it breaks you? Crowd worry out of your mind by keeping busy. Plenty of action is one of the best ways to cure worry.    20    If you know a situation is beyond your power, say to yourself: “It is so; it can’t be otherwise.” Don’t permit little things to ruin your happiness. Try to cultivate a mental attitude that will bring you peace and happiness.

A. Analyze the facts.

B. Accept what can’t be avoided.

C. Decide how much anxiety a thing may be worth.

D. This will help you to take a cold and fair view of the evidence.

E. There comes a time when you must decide and never look back.

F. But here are two ideas that can help you see the facts in a clear and objective way.

G. Unless you take your action, all your face-finding and analysis is a sheer waste of energy.

第一节  完形填空(共20小题;每小题1.5分,共30分)

阅读下面短文,从短文后各题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

As I left Spacsavers, I walked along the Regent Road, and suddenly the world was closing in around me. I could no longer hear the sound of busy London traffic, the footsteps walking behind me, the buzz of conversation around me. I felt anxious crossing the road. All the   21   I take for granted had gone. I had entered into a world of silence.

This   22   experience occurred a few weeks ago when I agreed to “go deaf for the day” to   23   the work of the charity Hearing Dogs for Deaf People. Now I serve as an ambassador.

That day when I   24   a cab to take me to the office of my manager, Gavin, I couldn’t hear what the taxi driver was saying to me.   25   was impossible. Then, when I reached the office, I had to   26   the interphone (对讲机)five times as I couldn’t hear a(n)   27  .

Everybody said I was shouting at them — I simply wasn’t   28   of the volume of my own voice. Gavin kept telling me my phone was ringing, but I didn’t   29  . I was too busy trying to concentrate on   30   his lips. And when he tried to tell me a code to put into my phone, I had to keep asking him to repeat it more slowly again and again.   31   he lost his patience and shouted at me: “Just give me the phone!” I was shocked.

People couldn’t be   32   to repeat themselves, so they kept trying to do things for me that I was   33   to finish by myself. I lost control, feeling   34   and awkward.

Being deaf for the day was extraordinarily   35  . I had to work so hard to “  36  ” with my eyes, get people’s attention and use my other   37   to make up for my lack of hearing. It was a huge, exhausting effort. Until that   38   I didn’t realize how much I took my own hearing for granted, or the sorts of emotions and experiences deaf people go   39  .

Therefore, if a deaf person asks you to repeat something,   40   say: “It doesn’t matter.” It does matter. It matters more than you know.

21. A. friends B. responsibilities C. sounds D. efforts

22. A. puzzling B. disturbing  C. inspiring D. inviting

23. A. advertise B. support C. check D. improve

24. A. called for B. waited for C. sent for D. made for

25. A. Prayer B. Explanation C. Payment D. Conversation

27. A. argument B. recall C. response D. rhythm

28. A. aware B. careful C. proud D. ashamed

29. A. realize  B. accept C. agree D. hope

30. A. kissing B. describing C. drawing D. reading

31. A. Happily B. Automatically C. Finally D. Curiously

32. A. required B. bothered C. ordered D. persuaded

Dear Arthur,

In your last letter, you told me something about your sister’s surfing on the Internet. I’m familiar to your situation. As computers become more and more popular, some students cannot help play online games and chatting. It is not only a problem of wasting time, but serious problem for their future! What you should do at first is to find out what make her addicted to computer games. Lack of love from parent ? Poor scores? Then having a heart-to-heart talk with her. Secondly, you should help herself with her study to build up her confidence and make her interesting in it. Thirdly, find something else for her to do instead computer games. Your efforts will surely help change her life.

Yours,

Colin
