In Helping Others, You Help Yourself
Amanda paid attention to a lonely girl for quite a lot of time. She was named Emily. Amanda shared a
physics class with Emily, where Emily always sat in the back on her own. Amanda wondered if Emily needed a
friend.
One day, Amanda found a chance to speak with Emily after class. Emily seemed surprised at being talked
with. But she gave Amanda a shy smile as Amanda introduced herself and started a conversation.
Emily answered Amanda’s questions with such detail that Amanda was left with the thought that Emilywanted to make new friends very much.
Emily was new to the town. She had no relatives or friends here. So Amanda told her that she would provide
introductions for her friends.
A few days later in the lunchroom, Amanda found Emily sitting at her regular place. But this time she was
smiling in her direction. Amanda waved her hands, inviting Emily to join them. Emily looked nervous, but she
took her plate and walked ahead. Amanda introduced Emily to the other girls sitting at the table. And everyone
welcomed Emily and included her in the conversation at once. Emily gave Amanda a grateful smile, and Amanda
was glad that she had taken time to know Emily.
Helping others not only means giving other people happiness, but also giving you a chance to know more
about others.
1. What class did Amanda share with Emily?
A. Chinese B. Physics C. History D. Chemistry
2. How did Emily feel when Amanda talked with her one day?
A. Surprised B. Excited C. Nervous D. Angry
3. Why did Amanda introduce friends to Emily?
A. Because Emily hated making friends with others.
B. Because Emily wanted to have dinner with them.
C. Because Emily had no relatives or friends in the town.
D. Because Emily wanted to share physics classes with others.
C
There has never been a common language in history, so we remain divided by language barriers（障碍）.
But in every language, there’s something that we share — the understanding and use of names. The practice of
giving someone a name is so natural that we almost never think about what it means. Only in recent years has the
journey begun to understand how powerful names truly are.
It’s commonly understood that you're not really “allowed” to give yourself a name — it must be given to you
by someone else. That tells us our first thing about names—they’re not solitary (孤立的). One might think your
name is your business, but in reality, it influences everyone around you. That’s not to say others have control over
your name, but names are, in and of themselves, a symbol of one’s relationship to others around them. Take my
name, for example:Brianna. That’s what’s on my ID card. But if I go to class, I might be “Miss Lindsey”. If I go to
the library, I might be called “Bri” by my classmates. If I go home, I’m everything from “Bama Lama” to
“Clown”. Are these my names? Yes and no.
The point of this argument is that names are not meaningless sounds. Names express the spirit of who wethink we are. If you always had to answer to the nickname（绰号）“Chatterbox”, it might be funny at first, but
time would wear down the humor, and you would begin to connect yourself with the meaning of that name.
Moreover, we live in a world where impression is king. How we feel is directly influenced by others’ impressions
of us, and names are one of the most powerful ways through which we understand their impressions of us.
So, whether it’s a birth name, a chosen name, or a nickname, there’s always more to what you’re called than
is on the surface. Birth names are gifts, titles are agreements, nicknames are often inside jokes. We are composed
of thousands of stories, and names are how we express those connections to everyone.
We often hear the phrase “what’s in a name” thrown around to show how little the effect what we call
something has, but the truth is: What’s in a name? Everything.
1. What can we learn from the passage? ________
A. Names can hardly shape our character.
B. Names show who we are in others’ eyes.
C. Names on people’s ID cards aren’t actually useful.
D. Names are creative expressions chosen by oneself.
2. If a girl often answers to the nickname Walking Dictionary, she might ________.
A. begin to believe she has a large vocabulary
B. think good learning depends on great dictionaries
C. realize having a nickname improves her sense of humor
D. agree having a large vocabulary matters most in a relationship
3. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?________
A. What is really in a name? B. How to use a name properly?
C. How to give a meaningful name? D. Why do we need a powerful name?
D
Multiple Intelligences
In our lives, we are faced with many different learning experiences. Some of these experiences have made
bigger influence than others. Different intelligences or learning styles might be the reason. A person’s learning
style or “intelligence” is the method through which they get information most easily. The theory of multipleintelligences(多元智能理论) was put forward in 1983 by Dr. Howard Gardner in his book Frames of Mind: The
Theory of Multiple Intelligences, and it suggests that people are not born with all of the intelligences they will ever
have, and traditional ideas about intelligence, measured (测量) by IQ tests, are very limited (有限的). He listed
some different intelligences to describe different abilities. These intelligences include linguistic (语言的), logical-
mathematical (逻辑数学的), visual-spatial (视觉空间的), bodily-kinesthetic (艺体的), musical and so on.
Dr. Howard Gardner notes that the linguistic and logical-mathematical are the most typed valued in school
and society. American schools and culture focus attention on these two intelligences so people who are good at
expressing or logical thinking are treated differently: they are likely to get more respect and are offered better
rewards and chances. However, Dr. Gardner says that we should place equal (平等的) attention on people who
have the other intelligences: artists, musicians, naturalists, designers, dancers, and athletes. Unluckily, many
children don’t receive much attention and encouragement for these abilities in school. Many of these kids, in fact,
end up being considered as not good enough ones because they are taught in a heavily linguistic or logical-
mathematical classroom and not in a style favored to their type of intelligence.
Education can be much more interesting and help more students to learn better if teachers are encouraged to
present lessons in all kinds of ways using music, group work, art activities, role-play, multimedia, field trips, and
so on. The good news is that in America, hundreds of schools are now using the theory of multiple intelligences to
redesign the way they educate children. By reaching more intelligences, all students will perform better and get
more important information. Understanding a student’s learning style can also help later in life and lead them into
a more satisfying career (职业) direction.
Many adults find themselves in jobs that do not make the best use of their most highly developed
intelligences. For example, the highly bodily-kinesthetic person who is stuck in a linguistic or logical office job
would be much happier in a job where they could move around, such as a sports coach. The theory of multiple
intelligences gives adults a whole new way to look at their lives, examining inner abilities that they left behind in
their childhood (such as a love for art or play); they may now have the chance to develop these through courses,
hobbies, or other programs of self-development.
1. The Theory of Multiple Intelligences suggests _________.
A. people have all of the intelligences when they are born
B. different people might have different kinds of intelligences
C. traditional IQ tests can measure people’s intelligences correctly
D. a person with a high IQ score must have all kinds of intelligences
2. According to the passage, what can we learn about American schools?
A. Students without many intelligences don’t receive much attention.B. Schools use Dr. Gardner’s theory to change students’ intelligences.
C. Schools focus attention on the two most typed valued intelligences.
D. Students will perform perfect if they are taught in the way they like.
3. What does the last paragraph mainly tell us?
A. Adults now have chances to go back to schools to check their inner abilities.
B. Dr. Gardner’s theory can help adults develop their inner abilities left behind.
C. A bodily-kinesthetic person must be offered jobs where he can move around.
D. Dr. Gardner’s theory can help adults become successful in their present jobs.
4. What is the writer’s main purpose in writing this passage?
A. To discuss the importance of multiple intelligences.
B. To compare different types of multiple intelligences.
C. To explain the ways to develop multiple intelligences.
D. To encourage the application of multiple intelligences.

四、阅读表达 (第1-3题每题2分, 第4题4分, 共10分)
阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题。
Internet history was made on September 19,1982, when professor Scott Fahlman at Carnegie Mellon
University, US, posted “:—)” on the school’s online bulletin board (电子布告栏) .
Guinness World Records called this smiley face the “first digital emoticon (数字表情符号)”.
In the 40 years since, emoticons, and later emojis, have become central to our conversations online. GIFs and
memes(表情包) also appeared. Now there are 3,600 emojis available for us to show our feelings, according to
CNN.
“They offer things that words aren’t saying. They said that when you say ‘okay,’ what kind of okay is that?”
Jennifer Daniel, head of the Emoji Subcommittee for the Unicode Consortium, an organization in charge of
choosing official emojis, told CNN. She said emojis are like our “body language” online. A 2017 study even found
that the use of emojis helps us get the same satisfaction from talking online that we get from communicating in
person.
Just as language develops, so do emojis. The Unicode Consortium brings out new emojis every year. And it
cares about race, gender(性别) and other aspects in emoji sets. In 2015, it released different skin tones(肤色). In
2016, different jobs were added, such as teacher and firefighter—along with female versions(版本) of these jobs.
In 2019, emojis of disabled people were added, including emojis of blind people and people in wheelchairs.
Some argue that we may depend on emojis too much. As people understand an emoji in different ways,misunderstandings often happen. The University of Valencia once studied the “thumbs—up” emoji. It found that
when we use it alone, it serves many meanings: acceptance, liking, or closing the discussion.
So what is the future of emojis? Will the emoji develop to become an international language? Or will emojis
go the way of the emoticon and fade(消失) after the next big thing comes along? It is hard to predict—even
technology and language experts are divided on the topic. What do you think?
1. What has become central to our conversations online in the 40 years since?
____________________________________________________
2. What can we know from the study in 2017?
____________________________________________________
3. Why do misunderstandings often happen when people use emojis?
____________________________________________________
4. Do you like using emojis when having conversations online? Why or why not?
