A
(2021·浙江高三月考)Our
brain
doesn’t
know
how
to
be
happy,
or
even
content.
It
simply
lacks
the
genetic
instructions
to
carry
out
that
task.
It
knows
how
to
do
a
million
other
less
important
things,
from
writing
a
letter
to
maintaining
our
balance;
from
appreciating
the
music
of
Bach
to
smelling
a
rose,
but
if
you
ask
the
brain
to
be
happy,
it
simply
doesn’t
know
how
to
respond.
This
is
because
the
genetic
code
is
only
concerned
with
survival
and
reproduction,
which
happiness
does
not
necessarily
have
anything
to
do
with,
and
therefore
belongs
in
a
different
realm.
Nature
doesn't
want
us
to
always
feel
content
and
satisfied,
let
alone
happy,
as
this
would
lower
our
guard
against
possible
threats
to
our
survival.
Happiness,
as
the
Brazilian
poet
Vinicius
de
Moraes
put
it,
is
“like
a
feather
flying
in
the
air.
It
flies
light,
but
not
for
very
long.”
It
is
so
elusive
that
it
has
also
been
compared
to
a
butterfly,
which
“when
pursued,
is
always
just
beyond
your
grasp,
but
which,
if
you
will
sit
down
quietly,
may
alight
upon
you,”
according
to
19th-century
American
novelist
Nathaniel
Hawthorne.
In
any
case,
what
is
clear
is
that
happiness
is,
at
best,
fleeting
(飞逝的)
and
inconstant.
In
this
blog,
we
will
look
at
the
myth
of
happiness
from
many
perspectives
and,
in
the
process,
we
will
touch
on
topics
such
as
happy
personalities,
the
unhappy
workings
of
the
brain,
evolution,
dreams,
and
even
fairy
tales.
I
explore
all
these
issues
in
detail
in
my
book,
which
shares
its
title
with
this
blog.
Happiness
is
a
crucial
concept.
We
spend
all
of
our
lives
pursuing
it,
so
it
deserves
a
very
careful
analysis.
We
are
determined
by
our
biological
design
to
experience
mixed
and
messy
emotions.
But
the
silver
lining
is
the
knowledge
that
having
difficult
emotions
doesn’t
represent
a
personal
failure.
The
inevitable
unhappiness
that
we
all
suffer
from
time
to
time
is
not
a
shortcoming
that
demands
urgent
repair.
Far
from
it.
This
unhappiness
is,
in
fact,
what
makes
us
human.
1.Why
does
our
brain
lack
the
genetic
instructions
to
be
happy？
A.
Because
being
happy
is
less
important
than
appreciating
and
creating
art.
B.
Because
happiness
has
little
to
do
with
the
continuation
of
a
species.
C.
Because
we
tend
to
be
more
aware
of
the
threats
when
we
are
unhappy.
D.
Because
feeling
good
isn’t
one
of
our
concerns
in
living
a
life.
2.What
does
the
underlined
word
in
paragraph
3
most
probably
mean？
A.
Difficult
to
achieve
B.
Easy
to
expose
C.
Unable
to
explain
D.
Likely
to
remain
3.What
can
we
learn
from
the
passage?
A.
We
should
make
happiness
our
top
concern
no
matter
what.
B.
Negative
emotions
always
require
immediate
attention.
C.
Social
failures
are
more
likely
to
be
troubled
by
negative
feelings.
D.
We
should
accept
difficult
emotions
as
a
natural
part
of
life.

(2021·南昌市八一中学高三模拟)The
secret
to
happiness
is
keeping
busy,
research
has
found.
Keeping
the
mind
occupied
with
tasks—no
matter
how
meaningless—keeps
off
negative
emotions,
the
study
found.
However,
the
bad
news
is
that
humans
are
seemingly
born
to
be
lazy
in
order
to
save
energy,
according
to
Professor
Christoper
Hsee,
a
behavioral
scientist
at
Chicago
University.
In
a
study,
98
students
were
asked
to
complete
two
surveys.
After
they
had
completed
the
first,
they
were
made
to
wait
15
minutes
to
receive
the
next
one.
They
were
given
a
choice
of
either
handing
in
the
first
survey
nearby
or
at
a
more
distant
location
they
had
to
walk
to.
Whichever
option
they
chose,
they
received
a
chocolate
bar.
It
turned
out
that
approximately
two-thirds(68
students)chose
the
lazy
option.
Those
who
had
taken
the
walk
reported
feeling
happier
than
those
who
had
stayed
put.
Prof.
Hsee
concluded
that
keeping
busy
helped
keep
people
happy.
He
said
the
findings,
reported
in
the
journal
Psychological
Science,
had
policy
implications.
“Governments
may
increase
the
happiness
of
idle
citizens
by
having
them
build
bridges
that
are
actually
useless,”
he
proposed.
At
the
individual
level,
he
advised,
“Get
up
and
do
something.
Anything.
Even
if
there
really
is
no
point
to
what
you
are
doing,
you
will
feel
better
for
it.”
He
added,
“Incidentally,
thinking
deeply
or
engaging
in
self-reflection
counts
as
keeping
busy,
too.”
“You
do
not
need
to
be
running
around.
You
just
need
to
be
engaged,
either
physically
or
mentally.”
4.Keeping
busy
can
make
people
happy
because________.
A.
it
can
help
people
get
rid
of
laziness
B.
it
can
make
people
sleep
better
C.
it
can
help
get
rid
of
negative
emotions
D.
it
can
give
people
a
sense
of
achievement
5.Which
of
the
following
statements
is
TRUE
according
to
the
passage?
A.
The
finding
may
contribute
to
politics.
B.
The
officials
have
taken
Prof.
Hsee’s
advice.
C.
In
the
study
half
students
handed
in
the
first
survey
nearby.
D.
Governments
can
increase
citizens’
happiness
by
building
bridges.
6.What
can
we
infer
from
the
passage?
A.
Everybody
is
born
to
be
happy.
B.
Only
by
keeping
working
all
the
time
can
you
gain
happiness.
C.
Prof.
Hsee’s
finding
was
published
in
Psychological
Science.
D.
Keeping
busy
goes
against
human
nature.
7.What
is

A.
To

(2021·四川高三二模)On
a
scale
of
0
to
10,
I’d
say
my
happiness
ranks
at
about
6.
I’m
glad
to
know
I’m
a
6,
because,
as
a
famous
management
saying
puts
it,
“You
can't
manage
what
you
don’t
measure.”
If
you
want
to
improve
an
aspect
of
your
life,
you
need
to
be
able
to
assess
progress
toward
your
goal-and
that
means
measuring
it.
The
goal
of
this
column
is
to
help
you
manage
and
improve
your
happiness.
A
number
of
people
have
asked
me
whether
quantitative
happiness
measures
are
really
accurate
and
reliable-and
it’s
a
reasonable
question.
So
let’s
take
a
look
behind
the
curtain.
But
not
just
for
intellectual
curiosity;
as
you
will
see,
understanding
the
measurement
of
happiness
can
itself
make
you
better
at
improving
your
own
well-being-and
avoid
some
critical
errors.
The
best
method
scientists
have
to
understand
with
confidence
how
something
affects
something
else
is
a
randomized,
controlled
trial.
Think
of
the
tests
currently
under
way
to
find
a
vaccine
for
COvID-19.
They
take
a
long
time
because
the
drug
companies
with
trial
vaccines
are
conducting
experiments
that
randomly
assign
people
to
a
treatment
group
they
get
the
vaccine
and
a
control
group(they
get
a
placebo),
and
then
waiting
to
seif
the
drug
is
effective
and
safe
by
comparing
the
two
groups
after
enough
time
has
passed.
In
the
research
on
happiness,
this
usually
isn’t
possible.
Want
to
know
if
people
are
truly
happiest
in
Denmark,
as
some
studies
suggest,
and
test
it
with
a
randomized
experiment?
You
would
need
to
randomly
take
two
groups
out
of
their
homes,
move
one
group
to
Copenhagen,
and
the
other
to,
say,
Dayton,
Ohio-
but
make
sure
they
think
it
might
be
Copenhagen
and
never
get
the
truth.
Follow
up
a
few
years
later
to
see
who
is
happiest.
Obviously,
that’s
ridiculous.
So
with
randomized
controlled
trials
largely
not
available
to
them,
happiness
researchers
instead
rely
on
self-reported
happiness
surveys,
where
large
groups
of
people
anonymously
report
their
levels
of
life
satisfaction.
Then,
the
researchers
use
fairly
complex
statistical
techniques
to
mimic(模拟)a
controlled
experiment
in
order
to
show
how
different
aspects
of
people’s
lives
affect-or
at
least
are
associated
with-their
happiness.

A.

B.
One’s

C.

D.

9.Why
is
the
test
of
CovID-19
vaccine
mentioned
in
Paragraph
3?
A.
To
introduce
a
latest
medical
breakthrough.

To
show
the

(2021·黑龙江实验中学高三月考)Happiness
is
an
abstract
concept.
When
one
thinks
of
a
typical
happy
person,
smiling,
laughing
and
cheering
are
what
usually
comes
to
mind.
However,
if
people
stop
smiling
or
laughing,
it
doesn’t
necessarily
mean
that
they
are
unhappy.
Happiness
has
many
different
levels,
and
it
is
difficult
to
place
the
word
in
one
concrete
category.
Many
people
believe
as
people
grow
older,
they
will
feel
more
happiness.
However,
I
just
find
they
are
not
always
so.
When
asking
my
twelve-year-old
sister
what
made
her
happy,
she
initially
told
me
that
sleeping
made
her
happy,
and
then
she
looked
at
me
for
a
reaction.
When
I
had
none,
she
changed
her
answer
to
food,
then
to
fashion,
and
then
finally
to
family.
Each
time
she
glanced
at
me,
looking
for
affirmation(肯定)that
she
had
given
a
“right”
answer.
My
younger
cousin,
who
is
even
younger
than
my
sister,
gave
me
an
answer
that
surprised
me.
It
wasn’t
eating
candy
or
watching
TV
that
made
her
happy.
It
was
love.
Considering
the
clear
differences
between
my
sister
and
cousin
in
their
answers,
I
came
to
see
that
age
doesn’t
always
largely
contribute
to
happiness.
Asking
my
grandmother
what
brings
her
happiness,
she
immediately
answered
“her
family”
without
hesitation.
This
is
something
I
expected,
as
my
grandma
is
always
a
family-centered
person.
This
also
aligns
with
her
culture,
being
from
Italy
and
growing
up
during
the
50s,
where
family
values
were
at
its
highest
point
in
society.
Asking
myself
this
question,
I
think
carefully
about
my
answers.
Sure,
my
family,
friends
and
pets
make
me
happy,
but
so
do
reading,
writing
and
watching
movies.
This
is
why
I
have
come
to
the
conclusion
that
I
have
no
answer
to
my
own
question.
There
is
no
one
single
thing
that
makes
me
the
happiest,
because,
like
everybody,
my
mood
depends
on
many
factors.
Happiness
depends
on
external
factors,
as
well
as
one’s
personality
and
age.
This
is
why
I
have
come
to
the
conclusion
that
the
journey
of
happiness
cannot
truly
be
defined,
and
that
there
isn’t
one
thing
above
all
that
makes
everyone
the
happiest.
12.What
do
we
know
about
happiness
from
Paragraph
1?
A.
It
is
pursued
by
nearly
all
people.
B.
It’s
difficult
to
describe
it
with

C.

highest
level

If

you
can
probably
strengthen
your

by
regularly
checking
your

Meanwhile,
if

are
less
well
off,
avoid
situations
where
you
feel
poor—and
seek
out
those
where
comparisons
are
in
your
favor.
When
you
think
about
your
net
worth,
forget
your
wealthy
sister
and
focus
on
your
brother
who
can
hardly
make

(2021·广东深圳外国语学校高三模拟)A
long
time
ago,
there
was
a
happy
prince
and
princess
in
a
country.
They
took
care
of
and
loved
each
other
very
much,
and
their
country
was
happy,
too.
Therefore
they
didn’t
envy
anything
else.
There
was
one
thing
they
worried
about.
They
wanted
to
make
sure
they
could
live
happily
forever
like
this.
One
day,
one
of
the
officials
found
out
the
couple’s
worry
and
told
them,
“Prince,
I
heard
that
there
is
a
magic
charm(吉祥饰物),
and
it
can
protect
you
from
any
unfortunate
event.
If
you
always
carry
the
magic
charm
with
you,
your
fear
and
worry
will
disappear.”
“Is
it
true?
Where
can
I
find
that
charm?”
The
prince
asked
him
joyfully.
“There
is
an
old
man
in
the
forest,
and
he
knows
about
everything.
You
can
ask
him.”
The
couple
visited
the
old
man,
and
asked
for
help
with
their
worries
and
fears.
The
old
man
nodded
his
head
as
if
he
knew
everything
and
said,
“Travel
all
around
the
world.
Then,
when
you
meet
a
very
happy
couple,
ask
them
to
cut
a
piece
of
their
underwear.
If
you
keep
the
piece
of
the
underwear,
your
fear
and
worry
will
go
away.”
The
couple
appreciated
the
old
man's
kindness
and
set
out
on
the
journey.
The
couple
wandered
around
everywhere
and
heard
about
a
happy
knight
and
his
wife
in
a
town.
They
went
to
visit
the
knight.
“Are
you
really
happy
like
the
rumor?”
Then
the
knight
answered.
“Of
course,
we
are,
Prince.
But
our
only
worry
and
problem
is
that
we
didn't
have
any
children.”
They
had
to
find
an
absolutely
happy
couple,
so
they
continued
their
journey.
They
visited
a
happy
couple
who
were
famous
for
their
happiness
in
the
next
town.And
they
asked
the
couple
if
they
were
really
happy.
The
couple
answered.
“Yes,
we
are
very
happy.
But
we
have
too
many
children.
A
mother
with
a
large
family
of
children
never
has
a
peaceful
day.
We
worry
too
much
about
our
children.”
They
could
not
get
a
magic
charm
this
time
too,and
kept
going
on
their
trip.
It
was
very
hard
to
find
the
happiest
couple
in
the
world.
One
day,
the
prince
couple
met
a
shepherd(牧羊人)
and
his
wife
in
a
big
field.

What
is
happiness
to
you
单元测试
一、阅读理解
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A
(2021·浙江高三月考)Our
brain
doesn’t
know
how
to
be
happy,
or
even
content.
It
simply
lacks
the
genetic
instructions
to
carry
out
that
task.
It
knows
how
to
do
a
million
other
less
important
things,
from
writing
a
letter
to
maintaining
our
balance;
from
appreciating
the
music
of
Bach
to
smelling
a
rose,
but
if
you
ask
the
brain
to
be
happy,
it
simply
doesn’t
know
how
to
respond.
This
is
because
the
genetic
code
is
only
concerned
with
survival
and
reproduction,
which
happiness
does
not
necessarily
have
anything
to
do
with,
and
therefore
belongs
in
a
different
realm.
Nature
doesn't
want
us
to
always
feel
content
and
satisfied,
let
alone
happy,
as
this
would
lower
our
guard
against
possible
threats
to
our
survival.
Happiness,
as
the
Brazilian
poet
Vinicius
de
Moraes
put
it,
is
“like
a
feather
flying
in
the
air.
It
flies
light,
but
not
for
very
long.”
It
is
so
elusive
that
it
has
also
been
compared
to
a
butterfly,
which
“when
pursued,
is
always
just
beyond
your
grasp,
but
which,
if
you
will
sit
down
quietly,
may
alight
upon
you,”
according
to
19th-century
American
novelist
Nathaniel
Hawthorne.
In
any
case,
what
is
clear
is
that
happiness
is,
at
best,
fleeting
(飞逝的)
and
inconstant.
In
this
blog,
we
will
look
at
the
myth
of
happiness
from
many
perspectives
and,
in
the
process,
we
will
touch
on
topics
such
as
happy
personalities,
the
unhappy
workings
of
the
brain,
evolution,
dreams,
and
even
fairy
tales.
I
explore
all
these
issues
in
detail
in
my
book,
which
shares
its
title
with
this
blog.
Happiness
is
a
crucial
concept.
We
spend
all
of
our
lives
pursuing
it,
so
it
deserves
a
very
careful
analysis.
We
are
determined
by
our
biological
design
to
experience
mixed
and
messy
emotions.
But
the
silver
lining
is
the
knowledge
that
having
difficult
emotions
doesn’t
represent
a
personal
failure.
The
inevitable
unhappiness
that
we
all
suffer
from
time
to
time
is
not
a
shortcoming
that
demands
urgent
repair.
Far
from
it.
This
unhappiness
is,
in
fact,
what
makes
us
human.
【语篇导读】这是一篇说明文，主要介绍了我们的大脑不知道如何快乐，甚至不知道如何满足的原因是缺乏执行这项任务的基因指令。这是因为遗传密码只与生存和繁殖有关，而幸福不一定与之有任何关系，因此属于另一个领域。幸福是转瞬即逝变化无常的。
1.Why
does
our
brain
lack
the
genetic
instructions
to
be
happy？
A.
Because
being
happy
is
less
important
than
appreciating
and
creating
art.
B.
Because
happiness
has
little
to
do
with
the
continuation
of
a
species.
C.
Because
we
tend
to
be
more
aware
of
the
threats
when
we
are
unhappy.
D.
Because
feeling
good
isn’t
one
of
our
concerns
in
living
a
life.
【答案】B
【解析】细节理解题。根据第二段第一句“This
is
because
the
genetic
code
is
only
concerned
with
survival
and
reproduction,
which
happiness
does
not
necessarily
have
anything
to
do
with,
and
therefore
belongs
in
a
different
realm.”(这是因为遗传密码只与生存和繁殖有关，而幸福与生存和繁殖没有必然的关系，因此属于另一个领域。)可知，我们的大脑缺乏快乐的基因指令因为幸福与物种的延续没有多大关系。故选B。
2.What
does
the
underlined
word
in
paragraph
3
most
probably
mean？
A.
Difficult
to
achieve
B.
Easy
to
expose
C.
Unable
to
explain
D.
Likely
to
remain
【答案】A
【解析】词义猜测题。根据第三段最后一句“In
any
case,
what
is
clear
is
that
happiness
is,
at
best,
fleeting
(飞逝的)and
inconstant.”(在任何情况下，有一点是明确的，那就是幸福充其量是短暂的、无常的)和第二句中的“when
pursued,
is
always
just
beyond
your
grasp,
but
which,
if
you
will
sit
down
quietly,
may
alight
upon
you”(当你追逐它的时候，你总是追不到的，但是，如果你安静地坐下来，它可能会落到你身上)可知，此处是指幸福是很难得到的。所以elusive意为“难获得的”。故选A。
3.What
can
we
learn
from
the
passage?
A.
We
should
make
happiness
our
top
concern
no
matter
what.
B.
Negative
emotions
always
require
immediate
attention.
C.
Social
failures
are
more
likely
to
be
troubled
by
negative
feelings.
D.
We
should
accept
difficult
emotions
as
a
natural
part
of
life.
【答案】D
【解析】推理判断题。根据最后一段最后三句“The
inevitable
unhappiness
that
we
all
suffer
from
time
to
time
is
not
a
shortcoming
that
demands
urgent
repair.
Far
from
it.
This
unhappiness
is,
in
fact,
what
makes
us
human.”(我们所有人时不时遭受的不可避免的不幸并不是一个需要紧急修复的缺点。远非如此。事实上，正是这种不快乐使我们成为人类)可知，我们应该接受困难的情绪作为生活的一部分。故选D。
B
(2021·南昌市八一中学高三模拟)The
secret
to
happiness
is
keeping
busy,
research
has
found.
Keeping
the
mind
occupied
with
tasks—no
matter
how
meaningless—keeps
off
negative
emotions,
the
study
found.
However,
the
bad
news
is
that
humans
are
seemingly
born
to
be
lazy
in
order
to
save
energy,
according
to
Professor
Christoper
Hsee,
a
behavioral
scientist
at
Chicago
University.
In
a
study,
98
students
were
asked
to
complete
two
surveys.
After
they
had
completed
the
first,
they
were
made
to
wait
15
minutes
to
receive
the
next
one.
They
were
given
a
choice
of
either
handing
in
the
first
survey
nearby
or
at
a
more
distant
location
they
had
to
walk
to.
Whichever
option
they
chose,
they
received
a
chocolate
bar.
It
turned
out
that
approximately
two-thirds(68
students)chose
the
lazy
option.
Those
who
had
taken
the
walk
reported
feeling
happier
than
those
who
had
stayed
put.
Prof.
Hsee
concluded
that
keeping
busy
helped
keep
people
happy.
He
said
the
findings,
reported
in
the
journal
Psychological
Science,
had
policy
implications.
“Governments
may
increase
the
happiness
of
idle
citizens
by
having
them
build
bridges
that
are
actually
useless,”
he
proposed.
At
the
individual
level,
he
advised,
“Get
up
and
do
something.
Anything.
Even
if
there
really
is
no
point
to
what
you
are
doing,
you
will
feel
better
for
it.”
He
added,
“Incidentally,
thinking
deeply
or
engaging
in
self-reflection
counts
as
keeping
busy,
too.”
“You
do
not
need
to
be
running
around.
You
just
need
to
be
engaged,
either
physically
or
mentally.”
【语篇导读】这是一篇说明文，讲述了科学家们通过研究发现，使人们快乐的秘诀就是让自己忙起来，有事可做就会提升幸福感。
4.Keeping

C.
it
can
help

A.
The

C
(2021·四川高三二模)On
a
scale
of
0
to
10,
I’d
say
my
happiness
ranks
at
about
6.
I’m
glad
to
know
I’m
a
6,
because,
as
a
famous
management
saying
puts
it,
“You
can't
manage
what
you
don’t
measure.”
If
you
want
to
improve
an
aspect
of
your
life,
you
need
to
be
able
to
assess
progress
toward
your
goal-and
that
means
measuring
it.
The
goal
of
this
column
is
to
help
you
manage
and
improve
your
happiness.
A
number
of
people
have
asked
me
whether
quantitative
happiness
measures
are
really
accurate
and
reliable-and
it’s
a
reasonable
question.
So
let’s
take
a
look
behind
the
curtain.
But
not
just
for
intellectual
curiosity;
as
you
will
see,
understanding
the
measurement
of
happiness
can
itself
make
you
better
at
improving
your
own
well-being-and
avoid
some
critical
errors.
The
best
method
scientists
have
to
understand
with
confidence
how
something
affects
something
else
is
a
randomized,
controlled
trial.
Think
of
the
tests
currently
under
way
to
find
a
vaccine
for
COvID-19.
They
take
a
long
time
because
the
drug
companies
with
trial
vaccines
are
conducting
experiments
that
randomly
assign
people
to
a
treatment
group
they
get
the
vaccine
and
a
control
group(they
get
a
placebo),
and
then
waiting
to
seif
the
drug
is
effective
and
safe
by
comparing
the
two
groups
after
enough
time
has
passed.
In
the
research
on
happiness,
this
usually
isn’t
possible.
Want
to
know
if
people
are
truly
happiest
in
Denmark,
as
some
studies
suggest,
and
test
it
with
a
randomized
experiment?
You
would
need
to
randomly
take
two
groups
out
of
their
homes,
move
one
group
to
Copenhagen,
and
the
other
to,
say,
Dayton,
Ohio-
but
make
sure
they
think
it
might
be
Copenhagen
and
never
get
the
truth.
Follow
up
a
few
years
later
to
see
who
is
happiest.
Obviously,
that’s
ridiculous.
So
with
randomized
controlled
trials
largely
not
available
to
them,
happiness
researchers
instead
rely
on
self-reported
happiness
surveys,
where
large
groups
of
people
anonymously
report
their
levels
of
life
satisfaction.
Then,
the
researchers
use
fairly
complex
statistical
techniques
to
mimic(模拟)a
controlled
experiment
in
order
to
show
how
different
aspects
of
people’s
lives
affect-or
at

are
associated
with-their
happiness.
【语篇导读】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了如何管理和提高你的幸福感。
8.What
does
the
underlined
word
“it”
in
Paragraph
1
probably
refer
to?
A.
An
aspect
of
life
B.
One’s
goal
C.
Happiness
D.
Progress.
【答案】D
【解析】词义猜测题(代词的指代)。根据第一段第三句“You
can’t
manage
what
you
don’t
measure.”(你无法管理你没有衡量的东西)和第四句“If
you
want
to
improve
an
aspect
of
your
life,
you
need
to
be
able
to
assess
progress
toward
your
goal”(如果你想要改善你生活的一个方面，你需要能够评估你的目标所取得的进展)可知，此处是指衡量进步。所以it代指progress。故选D。
9.Why
is
the
test
of
CovID-19
vaccine
mentioned
in
Paragraph
3?
A.
To
introduce
a
latest
medical
breakthrough.
B.
To
show
the
difficulty
in
finding
the
vaccine.
C.
To
illustrate
the
process
of
randomized
experiments.
D.
To
prove
the
impossibility
of
randomized
researches
on
happiness.
【答案】C
【解析】推理判断(目的意图)。根据第三段第一句“The
best
method
scientists
have
to
understand
with
confidence
how
something
affects
something
else
is
a
randomized,
controlled
trial.”(科学家们自信地理解一件事如何影响另一件事的最好的方法就是随机对照试验)可知，CovID-19疫苗的测试在第3段被提及是为了说明随机实验的过程。故选C。
10.Why
is
it
hard
to
conduct
research
on
happiness
with
randomized
experiments?
A.
The
experiment
takes
a
long
time.
B.
It
is
difficult
to
analyze
the
data
collected.
C.
It
is
impossible
to
carry
out
the
process
strictly.
D.
The
subjects
are
unwilling
to
share
their
feelings.
【答案】C
【解析】推理判断题。根据最后一段第三句到第五句“You
would
need
to
randomly
take
two
groups
out
of
their
homes,
move
one
group
to
Copenhagen,
and
the
other
to,
say,
Dayton,
Ohio-
but
make
sure
they
think
it
might
be
Copenhagen
and
never
get
the
truth.
Follow
up
a
few
years
later
to
see
who
is
happiest.
Obviously,
that'
s
ridiculous.”(你需要随机地把两组人从家里带出来，一组搬到哥本哈根，另一组搬到俄亥俄州的代顿——但要确保他们认为可能是哥本哈根，永远不会知道真相。几年后再继续调查，看看谁最幸福。显然，这是荒谬的)可知，因为无法严格实施实验过程，所以很难用随机实验来研究幸福。故选C。
11.Where
is
this
text
taken
from?
A.
A
magazine
B.
A
diary
C.
A
science
report
D.
A
textbook.
【答案】A
【解析】推理判断题。根据第二段第一句“The
goal
of
this
column
is
to
help
you
manage
and
improve
your
happiness.
”(本专栏的目的是帮助你管理和提高你的幸福感。)可知，这篇文章取自一本杂志。故选A。
D
(2021·黑龙江实验中学高三月考)Happiness
is
an
abstract
concept.
When
one
thinks
of
a
typical
happy
person,
smiling,
laughing
and
cheering
are
what
usually
comes
to
mind.
However,
if
people
stop
smiling
or
laughing,
it
doesn’t
necessarily
mean
that
they
are
unhappy.
Happiness
has
many
different
levels,
and
it
is
difficult
to
place
the
word
in
one
concrete
category.
Many
people
believe
as
people
grow
older,
they
will
feel
more
happiness.
However,
I
just
find
they
are
not
always
so.
When
asking
my
twelve-year-old
sister
what
made
her
happy,
she
initially
told
me
that
sleeping
made
her
happy,
and
then
she
looked
at
me
for
a
reaction.
When
I
had
none,
she
changed
her
answer
to
food,
then
to
fashion,
and
then
finally
to
family.
Each
time
she
glanced
at
me,
looking
for
affirmation(肯定)that
she
had
given
a
“right”
answer.
My
younger
cousin,
who
is
even
younger
than
my
sister,
gave
me
an
answer
that
surprised
me.
It
wasn’t
eating
candy
or
watching
TV
that
made
her
happy.
It
was
love.
Considering
the
clear
differences
between
my
sister
and
cousin
in
their
answers,
I
came
to
see
that
age
doesn’t
always
largely
contribute
to
happiness.
Asking
my
grandmother
what
brings
her
happiness,
she
immediately
answered
“her
family”
without
hesitation.
This
is
something
I
expected,
as
my
grandma
is
always
a
family-centered
person.
This
also
aligns
with
her
culture,
being
from
Italy
and
growing
up
during
the
50s,
where
family
values
were
at
its
highest
point
in
society.
Asking
myself
this
question,
I
think
carefully
about
my
answers.
Sure,
my
family,
friends
and
pets
make
me
happy,
but
so
do
reading,
writing
and
watching
movies.
This
is
why
I
have
come
to
the
conclusion
that
I
have
no
answer
to
my
own
question.
There
is
no
one
single
thing
that
makes
me
the
happiest,
because,
like
everybody,
my
mood
depends
on
many
factors.
Happiness
depends
on
external
factors,
as
well
as
one’s
personality
and
age.
This
is
why
I
have
come
to
the
conclusion
that
the
journey
of
happiness
cannot
truly
be
defined,
and
that
there
isn’t
one
thing
above
all
that
makes
everyone
the
happiest.
【语篇导读】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。作者通过收集不同的人对于快乐的观点，得出结论：快乐无法真正被定义，受很多因素决定。
12.What
do
we
know
about
happiness
from
Paragraph
1?
A.
It
is
pursued
by
nearly
all
people.
B.
It’s
difficult
to
describe
it
with
words.
C.
Its
highest
level
is
often
expressed
with
laughing.
D.
It
may
have
nothing
to
do
with
one’s
expressions.
【答案】D
【解析】细节理解题。根据文章第一段关键句“However,
if
people
stop
smiling
or
laughing,
it
doesn’t
necessarily
mean
that
they
are
unhappy.(然而，如果人们停止微笑或大笑，这并不一定意味着他们不快乐)”可知，快乐与人的表情是没有关系的。故选D项。

sister’s
and
cousin’s
answers,
the
author
realized
that
________.
A.
happiness
comes
from
very
small
things

always
bring

happiness
C.
little
kids

differences
between
my
sister
and
cousin
in
their
answers,
I
came
to
see
that
age
doesn't
always
largely
contribute
to
happiness.(考虑到我妹妹和表妹在答案上的明显差异，我逐渐认识到年龄并不总是对快乐有很大贡献)”可知，在比较妹妹和表妹的回答之后，作者意识到年龄不总是带给人们快乐。故选B项。
14.What
does
the
underlined
phrase
“aligns
with”
in
Paragraph
4
probably
mean?
A.
Is
consistent
with
B.
Is
beneficial
to
C.
Breaks
away
from
D.
Gets
out
of
【答案】A
【解析】词义猜测题。根据文章第四段划线部分后文内容“being
from
Italy
and
growing
up
during
the
50s,
where
family
values
were
at
its
highest
point
in
society(来自意大利，成长于50年代，当时家庭价值观在社会上处于顶峰)”结合上文祖母的回答“her
family”推测，“aligns
with
her
culture”表示“与她的文化一致”，Is
consistent
with“与……一致”符合题意。故选A项。
15.What
conclusion
does
the
author
draw
about
happiness?
A.
Happiness
is
hard
to
achieve.
B.
Happiness
is
determined
by
many
factors.
C.
The
happiest
people
are
often
open-minded.
D.
One’s
family
gives
him
the
most
happiness.
【答案】B
【解析】细节理解题。根据文章最后一段关键句“This
is
why
I
have
come
to
the
conclusion
that
the
journey
of
happiness
cannot
truly
be
defined,
and
that
there
isn’t
one
thing
above
all
that

If
you
are
rich,
you
can
probably
strengthen
your
happiness
by
regularly
checking
your
bank
account.
Meanwhile,
if
you
are
less
well
off,
avoid
situations
where
you
feel
poor—and
seek
out
those
where
comparisons
are
in
your
favor.
When
you
think
about
your
net
worth,
forget
your
wealthy
sister
and
focus
on
your
brother
who
can
hardly
make
ends
meet.
We
Like

Feel
Secure
Midlife
is
a
period
of
relative
unhappiness.
This
dissatisfaction
may
arise
from
the
lack
of
control
felt
by
those
in
their
40s.
By
contrast,
employees
in
senior
positions,retirees
and
those
with
good
job
security
often
report
being
happy.
“There’s
a
profound
link
between
insecurities
of
all
kinds
and
human
well-being,”
Prof.
Oswald
notes,
“Supervisors
are

But
adaptation
rides
to
the

Oddly
enough,
it
seems
we
adjust
more
quickly
if
a

or
we

All
these
are
good

which
are

to
a
nursing
home
and
do
something
voluntarily(我们可以去疗养院做一些自愿的事情)”可知，设空处应该陈述一些表现出我们善良的事情。G项“如果我们做志愿者，捐钱给慈善机构，或者表现得很有礼貌，我们通常会感觉很好。”符合语境，选项中的behave
politely呼应小标题中的behaving
kindly。故选G。

Not
all
responsibilities
in
the
family
fall
on
parents
and
other
adults
and
children
have
4
(specialize)
jobs,
too.
In
many
families,
for
example,
children
share

chores.
Helping

is
one
way
to
demonstrate
that
you
are

To

someone

do
that.
You

【语篇解读】本文是议论文。文章主要论述了每个家庭成员都需要承担一定的角色，即在家庭中承担力所能及的义务，青少年也是如此。
1.【答案】are
met
【解析】考查动词的时态和语态。根据上文“Parents
and
other
adults
are
responsible
for”可知为一般现在时，主语与谓语动词构成被动关系，用一般现在时的被动语态，主语为the
basic
needs
of
the
family，谓语动词用复数。故填are
met。句意：父母和其他成年人有责任确保家庭的基本需要得到满足。
2.【答案】and
【解析】考查连词。此处good
communication与other
health
skills为并列关系，应用连词and。句意：他们有责任树立良好的沟通和其他健康技能模范。
3.【答案】encourage
【解析】考查词性转换(动词)。encourage
sb.
to
do
sth.的结构，故填encourage。句意：他们也应该鼓励家庭中的年轻人练习这些技能。
4.【答案】special
【解析】考查词性转换(形容词)。修饰名词jobs用形容词，故填special。句意：并不是所有的家庭责任都落在父母和其他成年人身上，孩子们也有专门的工作。
5.【答案】happiness
【解析】考查词性转换(名词)。作介词to的宾语，表示“幸福”应用名词happiness，不可数，故填happiness。
6.【答案】appreciation
【解析】考查词性转换(名词)。show
appreciation表示感激，故填appreciation。句意：另一种有助于家庭健康和幸福的方法是表达感激。
7.【答案】means
【解析】考查主谓一致。句子陈述客观事实用一般现在时，且主语为不定式To
appreciate，故谓语动词应用第三人称单数。故填means。句意：感激意味着珍视某人或某事。
8.【答案】voluntarily
【解析】考查词性转换(副词)。修饰后文动词do应用副词voluntarily，作状语，故填voluntarily。句意：你也可以帮忙洗碗，搬杂货，或者自愿做其他的事情。
9.【答案】who/that
【解析】考查定语从句。此处为定语从句修饰先行词grandparent，先行词在从句中作主语，指人，故应用关系代词who或that引导，故填who/that。
10.【答案】help/assist
【解析】考查动词短语中的动词。help/assist
sb.
with
sth帮助某人做某事，故填help/assist。句意：你可能会被要求花时间陪四下走走有困难的祖父母，或者帮助兄弟姐妹做家庭作业。
五、写作
写作(一)
(改编自2020-2021学年人教新版高一英语必修第三册同步单元AB卷)试以“Can
Money
Buy
Happiness?”为题写一篇议论文。
包括以下内容：1.有人认为金钱是幸福之本；
2.也有人认为金钱是万恶之源；
3.你的看法。
注意：1.词数120左右；
2.可以适当增加细节，以使行文连贯。
Can
Money
Buy
Happiness?
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
Can
Money
Buy
Happiness?
Different
people
have
different
opinions.
Some
think
yes,
while
others
hold
the
opposite.
It
is
true
that
with
enough
money
one
can
buy
all
the
things
one
wants,
and
live
a
life
of
comfort
and
security.
However,
it
is
equally
true
that
a
lack
of
money
causes
great
distress.
It
is
a
common
view
that
money
is
the
root
of
all
evil.
The
pursuit
of
money
drives
many
people
to
cheat
and
steal.
In
some
places
there
is
nothing
that
cannot
be
bought
with
money,
resulting
in
corrupt
societies
where
everybody
is
miserable.
So,
money
does
not
necessarily
mean
happiness.
It
all
depends
on
how
it
is
used.
If
we
make
honest
and
sensible
use
of
money,
it
can
be
a
stepping-stone
to
happiness.
Although
money
cannot
buy
happiness,
it
can
make
happiness
possible
if
it
is
employed
sensibly.
写作(二)
(2021·广东深圳外国语学校高三模拟)A
long
time
ago,
there
was
a
happy
prince
and
princess
in
a
country.
They
took
care
of
and
loved
each
other
very
much,
and
their
country
was
happy,
too.
Therefore
they
didn’t
envy
anything
else.
There
was
one
thing
they
worried
about.
They
wanted
to
make
sure
they
could
live
happily
forever
like
this.
One
day,
one
of
the
officials
found
out
the
couple’s
worry
and
told
them,
“Prince,
I
heard
that
there
is
a
magic
charm(吉祥饰物),
and
it
can
protect
you
from
any
unfortunate
event.
If
you
always
carry
the
magic
charm
with
you,
your
fear
and
worry
will
disappear.”
“Is
it
true?
Where
can
I
find
that
charm?”
The
prince
asked
him
joyfully.
“There
is
an
old
man
in
the
forest,
and
he
knows
about
everything.
You
can
ask
him.”
The
couple
visited
the
old
man,
and
asked
for
help
with
their
worries
and
fears.
The
old
man
nodded
his
head
as
if
he
knew
everything
and
said,
“Travel
all
around
the
world.
Then,
when
you
meet
a
very
happy
couple,
ask
them
to
cut
a
piece
of
their
underwear.
If
you
keep
the
piece
of
the
underwear,
your
fear
and
worry
will
go
away.”
The
couple
appreciated
the
old
man's
kindness
and
set
out
on
the
journey.
The
couple
wandered
around
everywhere
and
heard
about
a
happy
knight
and
his
wife
in
a
town.
They
went
to
visit
the
knight.
“Are
you
really
happy
like
the
rumor?”
Then
the
knight
answered.
“Of
course,
we
are,
Prince.
But
our
only
worry
and
problem
is
that
we
didn't
have
any
children.”
They
had
to
find
an
absolutely
happy
couple,
so
they
continued
their
journey.
They
visited
a
happy
couple
who
were
famous
for
their
happiness
in
the
next
town.And
they
asked
the
couple
if
they
were
really
happy.
The
couple
answered.
“Yes,
we
are
very
happy.
But
we
have
too
many
children.
A
mother
with
a
large
family
of
children
never
has
a
peaceful
day.
We
worry
too
much
about
our
children.”
They
could
not
get
a
magic
charm
this
time
too,and
kept
going
on
their
trip.
It
was
very
hard
to
find
the
happiest
couple
in
the
world.
One
day,
the
prince
couple
met
a
shepherd(牧羊人)
and
his
wife
in
a
big
field.

【答案】
One
day,
the
prince
couple
met
a
shepherd
and
his
wife
in
a
big
field.
The
shepherd
was
driving
a
herd
of
sheep,
and
his
wife
took
their
two
children
to
him.
The
moment
the
shepherd
saw
his
family,
he
ran
to
them
directly,
kissing
and
embracing
each
of
them
by
turns.
Knowing
that
this
was
known
to
be
the
happiest
family
they
were
looking
for,
the
prince
couple
approached
them
and
asked
politely
“I
am
sorry,
but
could
you
please
cut
a
piece
of
your
underwear
for
us?”
But
the
happiest
shepherd
couple
felt
confused
and
said
“We
would
like
to
help
you
but
we
don’t
wear
any
underwear.”
Feeling
disappointed
and
tired
out,
the
prince
couple
decided
to
go
back.
Immediately
they
returned
to
their
country
they
visited
the
old
wise
man,
saying
that
the
magic
charm
was
no
where
to
be
found.
The
old
man
smiled.
“Well
is
our
trip
a
vain
effort?”
The
prince
couple
thought
to
themselves
for
a
while
and
finally,
they
realized
that
the
true
magic
charm
was
in
their
mind,
and
happiness
depends
on
themselves.
Then
they
held
hands
firmly
and
looked
in
each
other’s
eyes,
knowing
that
they
would
never
be
unhappy
whatever
came
their
way.
