3．阅读理解
    When I was a child, my parents always told me that I should never talk to strangers. This was part of a whole list of things I should never do: Never accept food or candy from strangers, never get in a car with strangers, and so on. They think strangers may do something harmful to us.
    But if we didn't start a conversation with strangers, we'd never make new friends. We'd never get a job. We may miss the happiness that comes from talking with strangers. And the more people you know, the more chances you can get.
    The following passage offers you some advice on how to break the ice.
Don't just look at your shoes. Go and say "Hi" to that new guy. It will be easier to break the ice if you know more about different cultures.
    British: Beautiful day, isn't it?
    The weather in Britain is changeable. So, it is one of the topics the British care most about. And there's a simple rule: Say "Yes" whether you agree with the person's idea on the weather or not. That's because the British start a conversation using the weather so that they can continue their talk.
    French: Where did you go on holiday?
    To talk with a French person, the safest way is to ask about his or her last holiday. French students enjoy a 10-to-15-day holiday every two months. French employees（雇员） get more than one and a half months of holidays every year.
    American: So, where are you from?
    The US is so big and people move so often that place is always a source（来源） of talk. You can try to find a connection with the place they're from. For example, if someone is from Los Angeles, you could say, "Oh, I have a friend who studied there."
（1）The writer's parents tell him not to talk to strangers because ______.
A. it was dangerous                               B. the writer didn't like to talk with strangers
C. it was part of the life                         D. the writer's parents were afraid to talk with strangers

4．阅读理解
    "What! You too? I thought I was the only one." Have you ever said this to someone? If so, you may have ended up becoming friends with this person.
    It seemed that similarity often helps form friendships. The Greek philosopher（哲学家） Aristotle once said, "Some define（下定义） friendship as a matter of similarity. They say that we love those who are like ourselves."
    Now, there is some science behind this idea. Scientists from University of California said friends have similar brains, Scientific American reported.
    The scientists invited 42 university students to take part in an experiment. Each student watched the same set of videos, which included a comedy, a discussion and a soccer match. Meanwhile, scientists studied their brains and recorded their brain activity.
    According to their study, friends who watched the same video clips reacted in similar ways. Similar parts of their brains lit up while watching the videos, especially parts that were connected with motivation（动力）， learning and memory.
    However, people who weren't friends had different reactions to the same clips.
    "Having close friends whose brains react like ours may be rewarding because it makes one's won values, opinions, and interests strength," scientist Carolyn Parkinson told Business Insider.
    But brain similarity is not the only thing that can result in friendship. Scientists from the University of Leipzig, Germany, found that friendship is also based on how physically close you are to someone.
    They did an experiment with first-year college students who met in class for the first time. In this experiment, students who sat in neighbouring seats were more likely to become friends.
（1）What does "this idea" in Paragraph 3 refer to?
A. Many friendships start with small chats.
B. Friends try to develop similarities between themselves.
C. People with similarities may become friends
D. We like those who like us first.
（2）The 42 university students in the experiment_____________.
A. are all from the University of California          B. were close friends before the experiment
C. watched the same set of videos                      D. reacted differently from each other
（3）What did the study of the students' brains show?
A. They had watched the same video clips.
B. Friends had similar reactions to the same clips.
C. Watching videos improves one's memory.
D. It's good to have friends who react similarly.
（4）According to the story , what else may help build friendship?
A. Being fun and helpful                                     B. Studying at the same college.
C. Having similar appearances                            D. Being physically close.
（5）The best title of the passage is "__________"
A. What is friendship                                            B. Friends can think alike
C. An experiment about friendship                     D. How can we build friendship
【答案】 （1）C
（2）C
（3）B
（4）D
（5）B
【解析】【分析】这是一篇说明文，主要告诉我们相似的人或者距离较近的人更容易成为朋友。
（1）细节理解题，根据 Now , there is some science behind this idea. Scientists from University of California said friends have similar brains, Scientific American reported.现在，有一些科学背后的想法。据“科学美国人"报道，加州大学的科学家们说，朋友们也有类似的大脑，可知这里this idea是指有相似之处的人可能会成为朋友，故选C。
（2）细节理解题，根据 The scientists invited 42 university students to take part in an experiment. Each student watched the same set of videos, which included a comedy, a discussion and a soccer match.科学家们邀请了42名大学生参加一项实验。每个学生都观看了相同的一组视频，其中包括一部喜剧、一场讨论和一场足球比赛，可知答案，故选C。
（3）细节理解题，根据 According to their study, friends who watched the same video clips reacted in similar ways. 根据他们的研究，看过相同视频片段的朋友也会有类似的反应，可知答案，故选B。
（4）细节理解题，根据 Scientists from the University of Leipzig, Germany, found that friendship is also based on how physically close yo are to someone. 德国莱比锡大学（UniversityofLeipzig） 的科学家们发现，友谊也是建立在身体上与某人有多亲密的基础上的，和 In this experiment, students who sat in neighbouring seats were more likely to become friends.在这个实验中，坐在相邻座位上的学生更有可能成为朋友，可知坐得近的学生更可能成为朋友，故选D。
（5）主旨大意题，结合文章大意主要讲述的是相似常常有助于建立友谊，希腊哲学家（哲学家）亚里士多德曾经说过，有些人把友谊定义为相似之处。他们说我们爱那些和我们一样的人。可知朋友可以有相同的想法，故选B。
【点评】考查阅读理解能力，细节理解题要在文章中找到原句和细节，选出正确答案；主旨大意题要掌握文章大意，了解作者的写作意图，找到关键词，选出最佳答案。
