15、r 2007,I joined the British Red Cross at 15.After several days of training,I was attending my first event as a fully qualified Red Cross volunteer.Our team was providing medical cover for a large martial arts (武术) grading event.Although Id passed my first aid course with flying colours,I was nervous
16、 before the event began.Theres quite a difference between the classroom and the real thing! Two experienced adult volunteers would be working with me for the day.Rosie was taking part in the under-16s event.This was supposed to be non-contact,and she was wearing full protective clothing just in case
17、.All these precautions (预防措施) didnt help however,when her competitor misjudged a move and delivered a violent blow to her head.“Guys,we need some help over here!” Over we went,all three of us carrying various bits of kit (工具箱).Rosie was lying on the ground.As we approached we could see she was consc

19、at hand.Rosie was complaining of pain in her neck.These are all classic signs of a possible spinal injury.Quickly,Brian found there were no other injuries and an ambulance was called.I was still holding her head and doing my best to comfort her.The doctors arrived and we put Rosie carefully into the

24、artphones has been small talk.With our eyes focused on our smartphones,fewer of us make conversation with strangers.But are we missing something in this loss of relaxing small talk?A growing body of research suggests that small talk has surprising benefits.In a study published in 2014 in the Persona
25、lity and Social Psychology Bulletin,researchers found that daily interactions with casual acquaintances (熟人) can contribute to day-to-day well-being.Participants were asked to record their daily interactions with people connected to them by “strong ties” (family and friends) and “weak ties” (acquain
26、tances).On days when participants had more “weak tie” interactions than usual,they reported a greater sense of belonging and happiness.In a study published in the Journal of Experimental Psychology in 2014,another group of researchers looked at interactions among strangers.They invited 118 commuters
27、 (通勤者) at a Chicago-area railway station and gave them one of three roles:to start a conversation on the train,to avoid any conversation and enjoy the solitude (loneliness) or to do whatever they normally do on their commute.In surveys completed afterward,those who were instructed to make conversati
28、on with strangers reported “notably more positive” commutes than those who rode in solitude.“Talking with a stranger may not offer the same benefits as talking with a close friend,but we underestimate its importance to us,” says the studys co-author,Nicholas Epley,a professor of behavioral science a
29、t the University of Chicago Booth School of Business.Dr.Epley traded in his own smartphone for an old featureless phone,which has made him,he says,more open to “wonderful,short conversations with strangers”.People overestimate the social risks involved in small talk,adds Dr.Epley,“Most people not on

34、rom A Dictionary of the Slang and Cant Languages by George Andrewes(1809).“Cant” may refer to a dialect or even a coded (加密的) language used by a group,particularly if members of that group want to keep their meaning hidden from outsiders.As you can imagine,people who operate on the shady side of soc
35、ietythieves,beggarswould have good reason to make their conversation difficult to understand to casual listeners.Andrewes cant dictionary was published with the authors firm intention to “expose” the language of criminals with the aim of “the easier detection of their crimes.” Its less clear how thi
36、s would work in practice;I cant help but imagine some detectives walking around the less fashionable addresses in London with the cant dictionary in hand,stealthily turning over the pages to keep up with an overheard criminal plan.But this would have proved an ineffective means of detecting criminal
37、s,as Andrewes definitions were taken almost word-for-word from an earlier work by Humphrey Tristram Potter,which itself was drawn from even older sources.So if cant dictionaries werent an effective tool in a criminals tool kit,why were they in such high demand that writers kept producing them for ce
38、nturies?Perhaps the cant dictionaries share some of the characteristics that made detective fiction so popular in the nineteenth century.There is certainly the attraction of a secretive look into the underworld:the average citizen may have no reason to hide their meaning behind mysterious words,but
39、its rather interesting to think about those who do.Fiction writers certainly made good use of cant dictionaries in writing dialogue for shady characters:notably,Charles Dickens was highly praised for his description of Oliver Twists band of pickpockets,whose talk relies heavily on Andrewes cant rese
40、arch.32.What is cant?A.Criminal slang.B.Local language.C.Complex idioms.D.Specialized words.33.Why did Andrewes publish the dictionary?A.To explain word usage.B.To help criminal-arresting.C.To simplify criminal language.D.To connect criminals to detectives.34.What is the authors opinion on the dicti

60、rave,but what kind of things can be considered to be brave?It is not a question that can be answered by words,but by the actual deed.A boy with the name Henry gave us a good example.Ronny and Henry were two friends in the same class.They always played together and went home together.One day as Ronny
61、 and Henry were going home after school,they saw some people fighting in the street corner.Ronny said excitedly,“Some people are fighting!Lets go and have a look!” But Henry refused,“Its none of our business.Wed better go home and dont get close to them.Also our parents are expecting to have dinner

63、 him a great deal.From then on,they looked down upon Henry and didnt want to play with him.Henry was sad but he wasnt angry with Ronny for his rude behavior,because he had learned that true courage was shown most in bearing misunderstanding when it was not deserved,and that he ought to be afraid of
64、nothing but doing wrong.Thus,he just ignored the other boys laughter and continued to stick to his thought and go to school and study as well.However,Ronny didnt invite Henry to go home with him anymore.Instead,he had his new friends who also thought Henry was a coward.Every day after school,they di

80、的Basketball Rules,因而启发他创作了The Playbook。22.D推理判断题。由文中的“Ive been writing poetry since I was a kid”和“My mom.would make the words jump off the page”可知,小时候常常给Alexander读诗歌的妈妈能使那些诗词跃然纸上,由此推测在妈妈的影响下,从小就喜欢写诗的Alexander觉得诗歌很有意思。23.C细节理解题。由最后一部分Alexander给那些想成为优秀作家的年轻人的建议“Read everything you can get your hands o
81、n.”可知。【篇章导读】 本文是记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者做急救志愿者的经历。24.D词义猜测题。由第一段中的“I was attending my first event as a fully qualified Red Cross volunteer”可知,作者很出色地通过了急救课程考核,成为一名合格的红十字志愿者。25.A细节理解题。由第三段中的“her competitor misjudged a move and delivered a violent blow to her head”可知,Rosie的对手做出误判,给了她头部狠狠一击。26.D细节理解题。由第七段中的“I was
82、still holding her head and doing my best to comfort her.”可知,作者托住Rosie的头部,并不断安抚她。27.C推理判断题。由最后一段中的“so is the feeling of making a difference,being there during a painful moment in someones life”可知,作者在急救工作中感受到了一种可以帮助别人的成就感。【篇章导读】本文是议论文。文章通过一些重要研究结果说明了闲谈的益处。28.A推理判断题。细读第二段可知,这项研究通过比较参与者的“强联系”交际和“弱联系”交际得
83、出了结论。29.D细节理解题。根据第二段中的In surveys completed afterward.who rode in solitude可知,这项研究发现,与陌生人的交谈会让人们变得愉快。30.B推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Dr. Epley traded in his own smartphone for an old featureless phone,which has made him,he says,more open to wonderful,short conversations with strangers.”可推断,Epley博士应该会认为,智能手机可能会扼杀与陌生
84、人的闲谈。31.D主旨大意题。通读全文可知,本文主要论述了闲谈的益处。文章的中心句为第二段首句“A growing body of research suggests that small talk has surprising benefits.”。【篇章导读】本文是说明文。文章主要介绍了行业术语词典出版的背景以及深受喜爱的原因。32.D细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Cant may refer to a dialect or even a coded language used by a group”可知,cant意为“某一团体的专用语”。33.B细节理解题。根据第三段首句“Andrewes
85、 cant dictionary was published with the authors firm intention to expose the language of criminals with the aim of the easier detection of their crimes.”可知,Andrewes出版词典是为了揭穿罪犯的行话,从而使警探的抓捕工作更加容易。34.C推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Its less clear how this would work in practice”以及接下来作者想象的警探抓捕罪犯的滑稽场景和“this would have pr
86、oved an ineffective means of detecting criminals”可知,作者认为Andrewes的词典有违他出版的初衷,在帮助抓捕罪犯的工作中并不奏效。35.A推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Perhaps the cant dictionaries share some of the characteristics that made detective fiction so popular in the nineteenth century.”可知,由于术语词典和19世纪当时正流行的侦探小说不谋而合,因此才广受人们喜爱。【篇章导读】本文是说明文。文章主要介绍了
