解析：在句型“It was the first/second/...time (that) sb.had done sth.”中，如果主句用一般过去时，从句用过去完成时；在句型“It is (high/about) time that sb.did sth./should do sth.”中，从句用一般过去时或“should＋动词原形”，但should不能省略。所以选B。

Ⅱ.阅读理解

(2024·石家庄毕业班教学质检)The cold wind cut through my enthusiasm (热情) as a tourist in Washington D．C., so I entered the nearest restaurant for warmth.I ordered a coffee, and began observing people.
At that time, I saw a man seated nearby and from his eager eyes, I realized that he noticed the delicious food.His tired body and worn clothes shouted，“Homeless，homeless！”
“How long has it been since he ate last time？”I wondered.I expected him to approach me for a handout (施舍物)．But he never did.A silent war broke out in my head — one side was telling me to mind my own business, and the other was urging me to offer him some food.
While my inner debate moved on, a welldressed young couple walked up to him.“Excuse me, sir，” the husband began.“We just finished eating，and our appetites (胃口) weren't as big as we had thought.We hate to waste good food.Can you help us out and put this to use？” He gave the man some food.“Thank you.Merry Christmas！”the man replied.The man carefully watched his new food，and was about to eat.
Something that happened next shocked me.An old man in pants, an old jacket and open shoes entered the hall and walked towards us.My neighbor saw the situation.Setting aside his meal, he stood up and guided the old man to the table.
“Hi, my name is Jack，” he said，“and one kind person brought me this meal.I just finished eating and hate to waste good food.Can you help me out？”The old man answered gratefully，“Sure，but only if you go halfway with me on that sandwich.”
I left the restaurant that day feeling warmer than I had ever thought possible.
语篇解读：由于天气很冷，作者走进一家餐馆去取暖。这时他注意到一个人盯着食物看，显然是想要吃而没有钱。就在作者考虑是不是要给他帮助时，有一对年轻夫妇以一种特别的、能维护那个穷人自尊的方式给他提供了一些食物。而接下来发生的事情让作者感到非常震惊……

(2024·福州五校模拟)In movies, we often see the most popular teens dominate their peers on a mission. We know these stereotypes (陈规旧习) all too well and assume they are just that — blown up generalizations. But movies aside, is there some underlying truth that being popular makes teens more aggressive?
Published in the February issue of the journal American Sociological Review, one study followed approximately 3,700 students in 8th, 9th and 10th grades for one school year and found that popular adolescents were more likely to act aggressively to climb the social hierarchy (等级制度) among their peers.This trend was apparent in both sexes.
Although popular teens were more likely to act aggressively, the researchers found an exception: adolescents in the top and the bottom parts of the social hierarchy displayed the least aggression toward others.
Robert Faris, a sociologist at the University of California, Davis, and coauthor of the study, says this may be because teens at the bottom of the totem pole (等级) don't have the social power to pay off (成功) being aggressive，while kids at the top have no need to assert (维护) themselves.
“If an adolescent at the top of the social hierarchy were to act aggressively toward his or her peers, such action could signal insecurity or weakness rather than cement (巩固) the student's position...” Faris says in a UC Davis Press Release.Simply put, the most popular kids have an easier time maintaining their statuses by being nice.
In the study, aggression was defined as any activity intended to “harm or cause pain” in another person. “Whether aggression is actually successful in promoting students to the top of the social ranks is still unclear，”the authors said.
语篇解读：研究发现，受欢迎的青少年往往会支配别人，在行为上表现得更富有攻击性。
5．What does the passage mainly tell us?
A．What causes teens to be aggressive?
B．Popular teens are more aggressive.
C．Aggression helps teens be popular.
D．What kind of teens can be popular?
解析：主旨大意题。根据第二段内容以及全文叙述可知，本文主要告诉我们：受欢迎的青少年往往更富有攻击性。
答案：B
6．Teens at the bottom of the totem pole are not aggressive probably because ________.
A．they can't succeed by being aggressive
B．they can succeed by being nice
C．they needn't be aggressive
D．they are well treated by others
解析：细节理解题。从文章第四段内容可知，处于社会等级底层的孩子没有能力通过表现攻击性来获得社会地位。
答案：A

A．he is no longer popular with others
B．he is really weak inside
C．he can't keep his position

解析：细节理解题。从文章倒数第二段内容可知，最受欢迎的孩子如果表现出攻击性，这是他们内心没有安全感和心虚的表现。
答案：B

A．tend to be more aggressive
