2．I am always nervous when I get an email from my parents with"FYI （For Your Information）"．My parents are in their late 70s，and while they are quite healthy for their ages．I worry about what messages they are going to give me．
I got such an email in September from my father．He sent an email from my cousin who told that her father，my uncle Reese，had passed away．The news made my mind go blank though I have met him less than a dozen times in my life，because Reese was the first of my parents'siblings （兄弟姐妹） to die，and I was simply not ready for that．
The memorial service was set in Florida，and I quickly decided I needed to go．I needed to be there for my father，and I needed to go for myself．Reese is about nine years older than my father，and I started to do the math in my head．I know that doesn't make sense，but I will do anything to reason that I still have a lot of time before I will be in my cousin's shoes．
Reese's memorial service was small with only family and perhaps a dozen of his friends．The funeral （葬禮） was attended by an even smaller number，and then，the family gathered at a nearby bar to look at old photographs found among Reese's possessions when he died．
As we drove back to the Orlando International Airport，I thought about how I am not sure what my parents want，not only in their memorial services，but also how they want to be remembered and where they want to be laid to rest．These are going to be difficult conversations，but I know I need to have them．Maybe not right now，but we do need to open the discussion at some point．It may feel too early，but I trust my parents will know that when adult children raise these questions，we do it out of love to honor their lives and their wishes．

21．Why do email s with"FYI"make the author uneasy？C
A．She's too busy to read those emails．
B．She dislikes her parents，nonstop talking．
C．She's afraid to get bad news about her parents．
D．They often bring unpleasant news．
22．How did the author feel about the email from her cousin？B
A．Disappointed．B．Shocked．C．Confused．D．Annoyed．
23．What do we know from the third and fourth paragraphs．C
A．A get-together was held at home．
B．Reese's friends didn't appear．
C．The author went to Florida without much hesitation．
D．Quite a few people attended the funeral．
24．What does the author decide to do after the funeral？A
A．Have a talk with her parents about death
B．Express her love for her parents bravely
C．Value her parents'wishes．
D．Get everything ready for her parents．

分析 本文為記敘文．伯父的離去讓作者意識到自己尚不清楚父母想要什么，最終決定就"死亡"與父母進行一次談話．

解答 21．C．推理判斷題．依據(jù)文章第一段的內(nèi)容I am always nervous when I get an email from my parents with"FYI （For Your Information可知，作者收到來自父母的帶有"FYI"的郵件，總是感到緊張的原因是，自己的父母已經(jīng)年邁，作者擔心他們的身體狀況，害怕得到有關(guān)他們的壞消息，故選C．
22．B．細節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)文章第二段中The news made my mind go blank though I have met him less than a dozen times in my life，because Reese was the first of my parent's siblings（兄弟姐妹） to die，and I was simply not ready for that．可知，得知這個消息后，作者的大腦一片空白，因為Reese'是她父母的兄弟姐妹中第一個去世的，作者還沒有做好準備．由此可推知，這個消息讓作者很震驚．故選B．
23．C．推理判斷題．根據(jù)第四段The funeral （葬禮） was attended by an even smaller number，and then，the family gathered at a nearby bar to look at old photographs found among Reese's possessions when he died可知葬禮是小規(guī)模的，參加的人不多；故選C．
24．A．細節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)最后一段的內(nèi)容，尤其是These are going to be difficult conversations，but I know I need to have them．可知，參加完葬禮后，在去機場的途中，作者想了很多，雖然與父母談?wù)撍麄兊暮笫聻闀r過早，但是很有必要在他們活著的時候討論這些事情．故推知作者決定就"死亡"與父母進行一次談話．故選A．

點評 考察學(xué)生的細節(jié)理解和推理判斷能力，做細節(jié)理解題時一定要找到文章中的原句，和題干進行比較，再做出正確的選擇．在做推理判斷題不要以個人的主觀想象代替文章的事實，要根據(jù)文章事實進行合乎邏輯的推理判斷．

15．根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，從短文后的選項中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項．選項中有兩項為多余選項．
Most people feel lonely sometimes，but it usually only lasts between a few minutes and a few hours．（36）D In fact，it is quite normal．For some people，though，loneliness can last for years．Psychologists are studying this complex phenomenon，and have identified three different types of loneliness．
The first kind of loneliness is temporary．This is the most common type．It usually disappears quickly and does not require any special attention．The second kind，situation-for example，family problem，the death of a loved one，or moving to a new place．（37）C
The third kind of loneliness is the most severe．Unlike the others，chronic （the opposite of"temporary"）usually lasts more than two years and has no specific cause．（38）FUnfortunately，many chronically lonely people think there is little or nothing they can do to improve their condition．
Psychologists agree that one important factor in loneliness is a person's social contacts，for example，friends，family members，co-workers，etc．We depend on various people for different reasons．For instance，our families give us emotional support，our parents and teachers give us guidance，and our friends share similar interests and activities．However，psychologists have found that，though lonely people may have many social contacts，they sometimes feel they should have more．（39）G
Psychologists are trying to find ways to help habitually lonely people for two reasons．They are unhappy and unable to socialize and there is a connection between chronic loneliness and serious illness as heart disease．（40）B

A．It is very difficult to deal with．
B．What's more，temporary and situational loneliness can be a sad，and sometimes dangerous condition．
C．Although it can cause physical problems such as headaches and sleeplessness，it usually does not last for more than a year．
D．This kind of loneliness is not serious．
E．They don't think they are in need of them．
F．People who experience it have problems socializing and becoming close to others．
G．They question their popularity．

Perhaps you have heard the expression—when in Rome, do as the Romans do. So when you want to do business in France, you have to get to know French culture, to make marketing plans, and to run your business by local laws.

1.The French take great pride in their language, so anyone who does not speak it may run the risk of being disrespected by his French colleagues or business partners. Also, another reason why learning French is important is that it is a great way to show every possible French business partner that you care and respect their country’s culture and language.

The first thing you should do when meeting someone new is to shake his hand firmly and always look the person in the eye. In social meeting with friends, kissing is common.

Use first names only after being invited to. 2.The French will sometimes introduce themselves using their surname first, followed by their first name.

Dress well.3.Your business clothing is a reflection of your success and social status. Always try to be tasteful and stylish. Women are advised to dress simply but elegantly. Wearing make-up is practised widely by businesswomen.

The French are passionate about food, so lunches are common in doing business in France, which usually consist of an appetizer, a main meal with wine, cheese, dessert and coffee, and normally take up to two hours.4.

Do not begin eating until the host says “bon appetite”. Pass dishes to the left, keep wrists above the table and try to eat everything on the plate.5.This may suggest that you find the food tasteless. If eating in a restaurant, the person who invites always pays.

A. The French draw information about people based on their appearance.

B. This is a time for relationship building.

C. Remember to be as polite as possible.

D. Language should be the focus of anyone planning to do business in France.

E. Be careful with adding salt, pepper or sauces to your food.

F. Use Monsieur or Madame before the surname.

G. Make an appointment with your business partner in advance.
