3.Although he was very rich, Getty hated to spend money.

4.They took Getty’s grandson and asked for money.

5.Getty made a great contribution to the art world.

【解析】

1.主旨概括題。第一段話主要介紹了他通過自己的努力成為百萬富翁。文中提示的關(guān)鍵語句有“He became a millionaire…”“Getty made his millions alone”“ The Fortune magazine once called Getty “the richest man in the world.””。

2.信息補(bǔ)全題。需補(bǔ)全的這個(gè)句子實(shí)質(zhì)上是段落主題句。閱讀本段信息：結(jié)婚離婚五次；很少與五個(gè)孩子一起；他的那些孩子也沒幸福的生活。據(jù)此可知，空白處應(yīng)該歸納本段大意，即：錢沒有給Getty買來幸福。

3.同義置換題。需要注意短語in spite of的解釋，可以將其轉(zhuǎn)換為though或although等表讓步的連詞；great wealth即rich或wealthy之意；且根據(jù)后文的敘述可以推測(cè)miser為“舍不得花錢的人；守財(cái)奴”等之意。

4.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第四段話“kidnappers took his 16-year-old grandson, and demanded a large amount of money for his safe return”可知答案。

5.主旨概括題。本段敘述了他開了博物館，買了藝術(shù)作品；再根據(jù)末句“Getty made a large fortune in his life, but he gave his money to the art world because he wanted people to learn about and love art”可知本段主要講述了Getty將他的財(cái)富捐獻(xiàn)給了藝術(shù)世界。

Empathy

【1】Last year,researchers from the University of Michigan reported that empathy,the ability to understand other people，among college students had dropped sharply over the past 1 0 years．That could be because so many people have replaced face time with screen time，the researchers said．Today,people spend more time alone and are less likely to join groups and clubs．

【2】Jennifer Freed，a co—director of a teen program，has another explanation．Turn on the TV,and you’re showered with news and reality shows full of people fighting，competing，and generally treating one another with no respect. Humans learn by example-and most of the examples on it are anything but empathetic．

【3】There are good reasons not to follow those bad examples．Humans are socially related by nature．Having relationships with other people is an important part of being human-and having empathy is decisive to those relationships．Researchers have also found that empathetic teenagers are more likely to have high self-respect．Besides，empathy can be a cure for loneliness，sadness，anxiety,and fear．

【4】Empathy is also an indication of a good leader．In fact,Freed says，many top companies report that empathy is one of the most important things that they look for in new managers．Good social skills-including emoathy-are essential abilities that will help you succeed in many areas of life．"Academics are important．But if you don’t have emotional intelligence，you won’t be as successful in work or in your love life，”she says．

【5】____?For starters，let down your guard and really listen to others．“One doesn’t develop empathy by having a lot of opinions and doing a lot of talking，”Freed says．

【6】To really develop empathy, you’d better volunteer at a nursing home or a hospital，join a club or a team that has a diverse membership，have a“sharing circle’’with your family,or spend time caring for pets at all animal shelter．

1.According to the passage, what happened to the college students?（no more than 15 words）

閱讀下面短文,并用英語句子回答問題(請(qǐng)注意問題后的字?jǐn)?shù)要求)10分）

Words can hurt

I remember the pain most vividly. My stomach was sick, my heart hurt, and my eyes stung(刺痛的) from holding back tears.

“you know, Autumn,” my friend Nick said, “Lisa and Andrea were just talking about you.” I immediately got nervous. “They said that the only reason you start on the basketball team is because the coach （教練）likes you .It’s not because you’re good.” I might be sick. “They said they’re tired of you always getting what you want.”

I struggled to keep myself from crying, sinking（下沉） to my knees on the cold floor. After Nick told me everything my supposed best friends said about me, I was hurt.

Lisa and Andrea came in from lunch break acting as if nothing had happened . Lisa was still my deskmate, and Andrea was still my partner for our history project.

I was amazed at their ability to pretend we had the perfect friendship, especially since they’d said such hurtful things.

I was a freshman in high school, and I felt like I didn’t have a friend in the world, all because of a rumor（謠言）.

The tongue can be our worst enemy. Rumors harm confidence（信心） and separate close friends. They are like sharp knives, cutting one’s dignity（尊嚴(yán)） into pieces. When we say unkind things about others, we’re thrusting(插) knives into their hearts.

So how was I to act next? When Lisa and Andrea pretended our friendship hadn’t changed, I thought of attacking them back. But instead, I told them directly that they had hurt me. Lisa started crying and Andrea was speechless. I know they were both sorry for what they had said. They apologized, and I forgave them with grace(優(yōu)雅). Sure, things were a little awkward(尷尬) at first, but soon enough everything was back to the way it had been before.

I still deal with gossip（流言）, sometimes as a recipient（接受者） and sometimes as a participant（參與者）. But the more I learn about love, the more I realize the importance of encouraging others- sometimes gossip never does.

1.What word can exchange the underlined word in para1?

______________________________________________________

2.Why was the author hurt in the passage?(within 10words)

________________________________________________________

3.Which sentence in the passage is closest in meaning to the following one?

“I frankly told them that their rumor had made me painful.”

_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________.

4.What did her friends do at last when they heard the author’s frank speech?(within 5 words)

________________________________________________________

5.Use one sentence to describe the author’s character.（within 10 words）

_____________________________________________________________________
