WELCOME UNIT Section Ⅳ
请同学们认真完成 [练案4]
Ⅰ.阅读理解
Everyone needs friends.We all like to feel close to someone.It is nice to have a friend to talk,laugh and do things with.Surely,there are times when we need to be alone.We don’t always want people around.But we would feel lonely if we never had a friend.
No two people are the same.Sometimes friends don’t get along well,which doesn’t mean that they no longer like each other.Most of the time they will go on being friends.Sometimes friends move away,and then we feel very sad.We miss them much,but we can call them and write to them.Maybe we would never see them again,and we can make new friends.It is surprising to find out how much we like new people when we get to know them.Families sometimes name their children after a close friend.Many places are named after men and women,if they are friendly to people in a town.Some libraries are named this way.So are some schools.We think of these people when we go to these places.
There’s more good news for people,if they have friends.These people live longer than those who don’t have friends.Why? It could be that they are happier.Being happy helps you stay well.Or it could be just knowing that someone cares.If someone cares about you,you take better care of yourself.

解析:
1.根据前文“By the time you reach the office,...with your partners in the office.”可知当你到达办公室的时候,你可能已经处理好了家庭、天气和交通的烦恼。除非一切顺利,否则你会带着所有的烦恼,整天和公司的同事一起分担。即虽然上文提到了你可能会带着烦恼来工作,故本空强调别担心,还是有可能把事情做好的。故选E。
2.根据前文“If the first thing you see...a pleasing area of bright color.”可知如果你醒来第一眼看到的是黑暗、肮脏的墙壁或冬天光秃秃的院子,你当然可以用悦目的鲜艳的颜色来改善那重要的几分钟。本空承接上文应为强调把有鲜艳颜色的东西(如花朵)放在自己的视线里。故选G。
3.根据后文“If you organize your to-do-list,breakfast menu and your clothes the night before, you’ll wake up feeling in control and relaxed.”可知如果你在前一天晚上整理好你的待办事项清单、早餐菜单和衣服,你醒来时就会感到有控制感和放松。可知本空强调要提前做计划,才能在第二天醒来时感到有控制感和放松。故选B。
4.根据前文“Some might be afraid that a meditation period early in the morning could just put you back to sleep.”可知有些人可能担心一大早的思考会让你重新入睡。故本空需要指出,真正的冥想实际上会以一种深沉而深思的方式使大脑变得更加活跃。故选C。
5.根据前文“Many read the news,which can be a sad way to start the day.”可
知许多人读新闻,这可能是开始一天的一种悲伤的方式。故作者并不赞成以这种方式开始一天,因此提出另一种建议:买几本快乐的、充满希望的、鼓舞人心的甚至是幽默的书作为你大脑的第一次刺激。故选F。
