2011北京怀柔中考英语一模试题及答案

C
　　America is a mobile society. Friendships between Americans can be close and real, yet disappear soon. They don’t feel hurt. If the same two people meet again, even years later, they pick up the friendship. This can be quite difficult for us Chinese to understand .Friendships between us develop more slowly but may become lifelong feelings, extending（延伸）deeply into both families.
　　There is another difficult point for us to understand. Although Americans treat friends warmly in their personal everyday lives, they don’t show their politenes s to them if it requires a great deal of time. But in China, we are usually generous with our time. We, as hosts, will appear at an airport even in the middle of the night to meet a friend. We may take a day off from our work to act as guides to our friends. It is opposite in America. Americans cannot manage the time to do a great deal with a visitor outside their daily plans. They will probably expect the visitors to get themselves from the airport to the hotels. And they expect the visitors will phone them from there. Once the visitors arrive at their homes, the welcome will be full, warm and real.
　　For Americans, it is often considered more friendly to invite a friend to their homes than to restaurants, except for business matters. Americans are ready to receive us foreigners at their homes, share their holidays, and their home life. So accept their hospitality（好客）at home and enjoy your visit in America!

　　Our spiritual intelligence quotient, SQ (精神智商)helps us understand ourselves and live fuller, happier lives.
　　While we’re all born with SQ, most of us even don’t know that we have it.  Luckily, you don’t have to sign up for classes to learn how to enhance(加强) your SQ. Here are some simple steps that can lead you to this new level of understanding:
　　Sit Quietly. The step of developing SQ begins in solitude （独处） and silence. To tune in to its whisper, you have to keep away from your busy, n oisy, complicated life and make yourself do nothing at all. At home, for example, shut the door of your bedroom, take a few deep breaths and let them out very, very slowly.
　　Step Outside. For many people, nature makes their spirit free. Go outside to watch a beautiful sunset. Follow the flight of a bird; watch clouds floating overhead.
　　Find An Activity You Enjoy. It’s important to find a hobby that helps you tune in to your spirit. Garden, walk or jog, arrange flowers, listen to music that touches your soul.
　　Ask Questions Of Yourself. Some people use their thoughtful time to focus on scriptures (经文). Others ask open-ended (无确定答案的) questions, such as “What am I feeling? What are my choices?” But don’t expect an answer to arrive through  some super-natural form of e-mail. Later that day you’ll suddenly find yourself thinking about a problem from a perspective (角度) you never considered before.
　　Trust Your Spirit. While most of us rely on gut feelings (直觉) to warn us of danger, SQ usually nudges （渐渐推动） us, not away from, but toward some action that will lead to a greater good.
　　57. To enhance your SQ, you should first _______________.
　　A. stand loneliness and silence
　　B. make your life simpler and less busy
　　C. give up the daily things in your life
　　D. listen more to your whisper
　　58.The underlined phrase “tune in to your spirit” in the fifth paragraph probably means ________________.
　　A. get your spirit relaxed                      B. keep up your spirit
　　C. listen to your spirit                         D. change your spirit
　　59. What will happen after people ask questions of themselves?
　　A. People will lead to a greater good.
　　B. People will think about a problem in a different way.
　　C. People will expect answers through e-mails.
　　D. People will keep away from their busy life.
　　60. What is the best title for the passage?
　　A. Advantages and disadvantages of SQ
　　B. The relationship between your SQ and you
　　C. What SQ is and in what ways it can be improved
　　D. What SQ is and in what ways you can make your life easier
七、阅读短文，根据短文内容，从短文的五个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有一个选项为多余选项。（共8分，每小题2分）
