高二英语单项填空简单题查看答案及解析

When we’re little, our mother is the center of our attention, and we are the center of hers.

So our mother’ characteristics leave an indelible(持久的)impression, and we are forever after attracted to people with her facial features, body type, personality, even sense of humor. If our mother is warm and giving, as adults we tend to be attracted to people who are warm and giving. If our mother is strong and even-tempered, we are going to be attracted to a fair-minded strength in our mates(伴侣).

The mother has an additional influence on her sons: she not only gives them clues to what they will find attractive in a mate, but also affects how they feel about women in general. So if she is warm and nice, her sons are going to think that’s the way women are. They will probably grow up to be warm and responsive lovers and also be cooperative around the house.

Conversely(相反的), a mother who has a depressive personality, and is sometimes friendly but then suddenly turns cold and rejecting, may raise a man who becomes a “dance-away lover”. Because he’s been so scared about love from his mother, he’s afraid of commitment and may pull away from a girlfriend for this reason.

While the mother determines in large part what qualities attract us in a mate, it’s the father—the first male in our lives—who influences how we relate to the opposite sex. Fathers have an enormous effect on their children’s personalities and chances of marital(婚姻的) happiness.

Just as mothers influence their son’s general feelings toward women, fathers influence their daughter’s general feelings about men. If a father lavishes praise on his daughter and demonstrates that she is a worthwhile person, she’ll feel very good about herself in relation to men. But if the father is cold, critical or absent, the daughter will tend to feel she’s not very lovable or attractive.

In addition, most of us grow up with people of similar social circumstances. We hang around with people in the same town; our friends have about the same educational backgrounds and career goals. We tend to be most comfortable with these people, and therefore we tend to link up with others whose families are often much like our own.

1.Why do our mother’s characteristics leave us an indelible impression?

A. Because we are likely to be attached to people with her characteristics.

B. Because mother and her child are the centers of each other when her child is very young.

C. Because our mother is better than our dad.

D. Because our mother is a woman who is kind to us.

2.What can we know from Paragraphs 2 and 3?

A. The mother only influences her sons.

B. The sons always think women are warm and nice.

C. A mother who has a depressive personality is sure to raise a dance-away lover.

D. The mother has an additional influence on her sons.

3.Which of the following is NOT true?

A. If our mother is warm and giving, we love to be together with warm and generous people.

B. If our mother is strong and even-tempered, we are going to be attracted to a fair-minded strength in our mates.

C. Mother not only gives her children clues to what they will find attractive in a mate, but also affects how they feel about women in general.

D. Fathers influence their daughter’s general feelings about men.

4.What does the underlined word “lavishes” in Paragraph 5 probably mean?

A. Uses much.　　　　　 　　 B. Uses little.

C. Never uses.　　　　　　 D. Seldom uses.

5.What does the passage mainly talk about?

A. Mothers’ influence on their sons.

B. Parents’ influence on their children.

C. Parents’ impression on their children.

D. Fathers’ influence on their daughters.

We've all been in a situation where we ask our friend to the restaurant for lunch and find ourselves waiting at a table alone. We look around the room, notice all the other customers dining with someone, and suddenly become insecure that we're alone. Instead of starting a conversation with someone, we rush to grab our phones and stare at the screen until we are finally rescued by our late friend.

Long gone are the days when we start a conversation with the person next to us while sitting on the subway during the morning or evening commute. However, small talk, as well as the willingness to engage in it, is very important.

When humans engage in small talk, it actually provides a feeling of happiness. Those who socially interact are likely to increase their happiness and health, while others who shy away from social interaction are reported to feel disappointed and unhealthy, according to the Huffington Post. And small talk not only keeps us feeling happy and healthy, but teaches us how to stay calm in situations that we might not normally find ourselves in. Instead of feeling anxious and nervous, starting a conversation with people you don't know helps calm the nerves and provides a feeling of inclusion. An unfamiliar event with people you don’t know suddenly becomes gratifying.

But perhaps the most important reason why everyone should learn to engage in small talk is that it teaches us how to listen and truly form relationships. By asking a stranger some questions and showing interest in them, it helps establish new relationships, whether they are personal or business-related.

You should learn how to connect with someone and identify with people you don't know. So next time you're alone in a public place, try to reach out to others and start a conversation. It’s really not that hard.

1.What does the writer intend to describe through Paragraph 1?

A.Anxiety of being alone. B.Impatience with waiting for friends.

C.Addiction to smart phones. D.Absence of communication between strangers.

2.How many benefits of small talk are mentioned in the passage?

A.Two. B.Three. C.Four. D.Five.

3.Which does the writer think most valuable for taking small talk?

A.Developing new relationships. B.Avoiding negative emotions.

C.Having more people to turn to. D.Learning some social skills.

4.Which word can replace the underlined one in Paragraph 4?

A.Typical. B.Peaceful. C.Enjoyable. D.Instructive.

5.Which might be the best title?

A.Let's Start Small Talk. B.How to Make Friends.

C.Drive Away Shyness. D.How to Start Small Talk.

In the early 1980s, one of our neighbors asked my mom if she would make a few gift baskets for her to give as gifts for the holidays. My mom agreed and news of the unique gift baskets my mum was making spread like wildfire throughout the neighborhood. My mum was busy throughout the holiday season, so she asked a friend to help her. When the orders continued after the holiday season for baby gifts, birthday gifts and more, it occurred to them that maybe this job could be turned into a business and they did it.

My mum went into her business because she had a creative idea. She got orders and filled orders. But there was no purpose and no real strategy(策略). In 1991, my mum' s partner got into financial trouble and there was not enough money to support either my mum or her partner.

So if you are led by your creativity or enthusiasm, make sure you ask yourself what you want out of your business. If you don't set goals, how will you know what direction to go in? Do you want to create jobs and growth in the economy? Are you looking for a hobby? You can't keep scores if you don' t know what game you are playing.

After my mom's partner gave up, she had to abandon(抛弃) her business to support herself. She swore（发誓）she would run a business again and do it differently the next time. However, there wasn't a "next time" for her. She passed away just after her 51st birthday. She never had someone tell her how important having a goal was. She never had an opportunity to be everything that she could be.

There are no right or wrong goals, only the ones that matter to you. Set them so that you can make progress and achieve success, whatever that may mean to you.

1.The author's mum started her own business after she ________.

A. got continuous orders with her friend
