The mother was having a major operation and would be lying down for several weeks.Of course, I responded with an immediate “Yes！”. As I planned the meal in my head, I reflected on how many times over the years I had been asked to prepare food. I have done so countless times with a very open heart.But the truly amazing thing is that I have received double over the course of my life. When my mother passed away, our house was filled with fresh dinners for weeks. A woman from the church of our community stopped by each evening with some food. The gift of food was her small way of trying to ease our pain.Later in my life，when I was on bed rest during my pregnancy with twins, women of the church again stepped in to help. They arranged babysitting for my twoyearold daughter, and brought lovely dinners to our house. Even when I was put in the hospital, my husband would bring cooked meals to my hospital room. How we relied on these dinners to feed my tired husband and young daughter.Food is all about comfort. It feeds our bodies, but it can also feed our souls. When you hear people talking about their favourite holidays, it usually includes their feelings connected with sharing food. I know that I will have many more opportunities in my lifetime to prepare food for others. It is truly a gift I want to prepare and deliver to someone in need.【语篇解读】作者在应别人的要求为一家需要别人挂念的人们预备饭菜时，想到了自己在困难时期曾经受到的挂念，也想到了自己多年来为别人做过的事情，由此内心获得了极大的满足。她认为给别人送去的食物不但让别人填饱肚子，同时也能滋养我们的灵魂。4The author has given lots of food to others because _Ashe is poor at cookingBshe is a church memberCshe is friendly to othersDshe has received others food解析：选D。细节理解题。文章其次段中的the truly amazing thing is that I have received double over the course of my life以及our house was filled with fresh dinners for weeks等都说明白作者以前收到过被人送的食品，得到过别人的挂念，故选D项。5We can learn from the first paragraph that the author _Ahad to stay in bed for several weeksBknew the family in need very wellCwas glad to be able to lend a handDwas tired of preparing food解析：选C。推理推断题。从第一段作者的描述I reflected on how many times over the years I had been asked to prepare food.I have done so countless times with a very open heart.可知作者是个乐于助人的人，所以选C项。6Which of the following is TRUE about the author?AHer mother died when she was in hospital.BShe didnt get enough food during her pregnancy.CShe received food as well as comfort in her hard times.DShe thinks offering food is the best way to show love.解析：选C。细节理解题。依据其次段中的The gift of food was her small way of trying to ease our pain.以及第三段的描述可知作者在母亲去世时和自己怀孕期间不仅收到过食物也收到了别人带来的劝慰，故选C项。7According to the passage，which of the following conclusions can we get?AA good beginning makes a good ending.BOne good turn deserves another.CActions speak louder than words.DEvery man has his faults.解析：选B。主旨大意题。依据文章内容可知作者受到过别人的挂念，而且也乐观的去挂念别人，自己也因此获得了内心的满足和欢快，由此可知B项正确。C(2022湖南桑植一中高三联考)The only survivor of one of the two Sandy Hook Elementary School firstgrade classrooms where Adam Lanza shot and killed 20 children tricked the gunman by playing dead, the girls pastor(牧师)said.“She ran out of the school building covered from head to toe with blood and the first thing she said to her mom was，Mommy, Im OK but all my friends are dead”，Pastor Jim Solomon told ABC News Lara Spencer this weekend.“Somehow, at that moment, by Gods grace, she was able to act as she was already dead.”he said.The girl, a 6yearold whose name is not being announced for privacy(隐私)reasons, was the first student to appear from the lockdown(封锁)at Sandy Hook, Solomon said.

Those who expressed gratitude reported stronger relationships at the end of the study than those in the other groups.Gratitude, when expressed, strengthened relationships, according to the studies lead author, Nathaniel Lambert .He said the findings make sense because when you express gratitude to someone, you are focusing on the good things that person has done for you. It makes you see them in a more positive light and helps you to focus on their good qualities.Although the studies only looked at the people expressing gratitude, Lambert thought that those who are being thanked will often want to express their gratitude back, which helps form a harmonious(和谐的)atmosphere among people.【语篇解读】本文主要是关于表达感谢之情的新争辩发觉，它可以大大改善人际关系。12Researchers at Florida State University believe that expressers of gratitude may _Areceive better educationBcare more about othersCknow the benefits of saying “thank you”Dknow the benefits of being thanked解析：选B。细节理解题。由其次段的causing the person expressing thanks to feel more responsible for the person who is being thanked.可知选B项。13In the third study，why did researchers divide the participants into several groups?ATo prove a conclusion.BTo test a theory.CTo compare research results.DTo collect more information.解析：选C。推理推断题。在第三项争辩结束时，对说“感谢”小组成员之间的关系与其它小组作了比较，由此可知其目的是对结果进行比较。14How many people were involved in the first two studies?A137.B218.C75.
