Finally, after nearly half a month, the Christmas letter was here in my hand. Yes, writing letters is how my friend in the U.S. and I 16 our greetings every Christmas. People ask why not send our greetings on Facebook, or on WeChat 17 , and by the way, it'll save money. For me, writing letters is more of a 18 habit than a quirk （怪癖）in modern times. I, an experienced letter writer, can tell you that writing letters brings me more emotional（情感的）communication.In fact, only parts of our emotions can be found. Some 19 in California State University found that electronic devices, like smart phones, can greatly influence people in many ways．Such devices prevent people from 20 their inner （内心的）feelings. Compared with modern communication，writing letters has more advantages. 21 we write, our brain is given the chance to discover connections between things we didn't see before. And we are 22 to show our emotions fully.If I am here to tell you why I love writing letters, one of the 23 would be its sense of touch﹣feeling of my hand running through the pages, feeling of pen sliding across the paper，and feeling of the 24 of ink （墨水）in the air.It 25 that both your words and the letter itself can help you express your feelings. Letters build a bridge between the writer and receiver. People experience more when they receive messages in the form of a letter, rather than any other media.( ) 16.

A“I am a selfish child.I hope the sunshine lies only upon me, so I can feel its warmth.I am a selfish child.I hope there is a corner of the world that can comfort me when I am sad.I am a selfish child.I hope my mom belongs only to me, so I can enjoy the sweetness of love.”This poem was written by a middle school student in a lonely mountains town in Yunnan Province during her first poetry class.

I hope the neighbours haven't been complaining about the noise again.”“Not that I know of.” said Logan. “But a young girl, Fran. who came to the party hasn't been home yet”“Fran” said Henderson. “Yes, she was here. She left early, as I remember—about one o'clock.I happened to notice what the time was when she came to say goodbye. But nobody else left until about four in the morning.”Henderson looked quite relaxed.“Did you know Clare?” asked Logan suddenly.“Oh, God!” Henderson sat forward. “You don't think...the same thing has happened to Fran?”“We're keeping an open mind,” said Logan, watching him carefully, “ but we're giving it our full attention.”“Well, yes. I can understand that,” replied Henderson, getting comfortable in the armchair again.“So,” repeated Logan, “did you know Clare?”“Well, sure. I knew who she was. But we never had anything do with each other.” Said Henderson, giving Logan a big smile.“Who else was at your party?” asked Logan.“People from the university,” said Henderson. “Students, teachers.”“David?” asked Grant, Logan's partner.“Yes, David was here for a time.” Henderson smiled again. “But he's not really a party animal. He probably left early.”“What do you mean, probably?”asked Grant. Henderson looked at Grant. Grant was sixty with thick black hair and a large moustache. His clothes, as always, looked rather old: a blue jacket and grey trousers. He did not look much of a party animal either.“Well, I don't check when my guests arrive and leave,” said Henderson. “And some people just leave when they want to go home. They don't come and say goodbye. Anyway, sometimes I can be difficult to find.” Again he looked at Logan, raised his eyebrows and gave her a big smile. “I sometimes end up in the bedroom”.29. How many characters are mentioned in the story?A. FiveB. SixC. SevenD. Eight．30. Why did Logan and Grant go to Henderson's house?A. Because the girl Fran who attended the party disappeared.B. Because they went to the party held in，Henderson's house.C. Because Henderson's neighbours called them for the noise.D. Because they wanted to know why Henderson held the party.31.

Grant himself wasn't a party animal like David.D. Grant wanted to know the exact time of David's leaving.CSome researchers explain how most people form their social groups with people of their age. Especially, as children and teenagers,even adults, people make their friends based on proximity （邻近）more than anything else. Even in a college classroom, the students may not make friends with those who have similar personalities and interests. It's the people they really sit next to. Clearly, who stands to you has the greatest influence on you. As Jim Rohn has widely said. “You are average（平均）of five people you spend the most time with.”Over the past ten months, I've paid Ryan, a Famous writer of several bestselling books, to help with the book I'm writing. Working with him has shown me just how low my standards for my work are. For example, every time I send him a drab （草稿）, he shows me how it could be 10 times better,and he holds me to that standard.▲It's because that I don't know what I don't know. Working with Ryan has made me realize what is possible and what it takes to create something powerful.Like Ryan, my business partner Richard has wonderful ideas and far different experience than I have. He has written 36 New York Times Bestsellers. He's been speaking and doing events for 20 years. Richard always performs at high levels, and he is also very strict with me because my performance is a reflection （反映）on him. It's not a bad thing because it creates high pressure （压力）to help me make great progress in organizing author training.In a word, you need to stay with those people who can help you realize your level and potential. Staying with people who have higher standards is the fastest way for you to change. If you don't change your environment, your progress will be very slow. Who you stay with has huge importance. You can't ignore this.32. Why did the writer quote（引用）Jim Rohn's words in Paragraph 1?A. To support the writer's opinion.B. To introduce the writer's best friend.C. To show Jim Rohn's working ability.D. To prove Jim Rohn is a great person.33. Which of the following can be put at the beginning of Paragraph 3?A. It's not that my workmates' abilities are low.B. It's not that my working ability was born low.C. It's not that' e friends based on proximity.D. It's not that I've paid Ryan to help me with my book.34. What does the underlined word "it" in Paragraph 4 refer to (指代) ___________?A. The writer's performance.B. Jim Rohn's famous saying.C. Richard's different experience.D. Richard's strictness with the writer.35. The writer mainly wants to tell us that____________.A. we can improve our working abilities by ourselvesB. we must pay attention to our talent and potentialC. we'd better make friends with those who can hold us to higher levelsD. we should stay with those who have similar personalities and interests四、词汇运用（共5小题；每小题1分，满分5分）A）根据句意，用括号中所给单词的正确形式或音标提示填空，每空一词。
