Almost every night for more than 10 years, Kirk Alexander, 48, ordered a late dinner from his local restaurant Domino’s Pizza. But for the past two weeks, he hasn’t called for even once.
“A few of my staff mentioned that we hadn’t seen his order in a while. Then I found that it had been 12 days since he last ordered, which is not like him,” Domino’s general manager Sarah Fuller said, feeling she could no longer ignore Kirk’s recent absence.
Sarah has known Kirk since 2009, when she started working at the Domino’s Pizza as a deliver driver and often made the short trip to Kirk’s home about six minutes away. She knew Kirk worked from home, and neighbors said he seldom left. She also knew that he had some health problems in the past. Something, Sarah worried, was wrong.
Around 1 a.m. on May 8, Sarah sent delivery driver Sean Hamblen to visit Kirk’s home. Sean arrived at Kirk’s home and knocked on the front door several times. There was no answer. He later noticed that the lights and the TV in the home were on. When he called Kirk’s phone, it went straight to voice mail.
Sean drove back to the restaurant to tell Sarah and they decided to call 911. Soon, officers arrived at Kirk’s home. So did Sarah and Sean. They heard a man calling for help from inside. Officers broke down the door and found Kirk on the floor in need of medical attention at once after suffering from a heart attack. One day later, they might have been too late.
So is keeping an eye on regular customers part of Domino’s business plan Not really. “Kirk is part of our family here and we feel like we need to do something.” Sarah said.
4. Why did Sarah send a delivery driver to visit Kirk
A. Because her staff asked her to do so.
B. Because she was worried about Kirk.
C. Because she wanted Kirk to order meals.
D. Because she knew Kirk had a heart attack.

C. He didn’t get any reply from Kirk. D. He tried to break into Kirk’s house.
6. How can we best describe Sarah

Everyone who has eaten instant noodles knows that it’s very easy to cook them quickly. However, have you ever heard of the danger of eating them
When taking out the noodles from the packaging, you will notice that they are joined together nicely as a piece. Do you know that it needs some form of wax coating (蜡涂层) to make them joined together nicely Many people don’t really care much about it because this seems very normal. However, studies have shown that the wax coating is bad for our body.
It is advisable to have a break of 2-3 days before we start to eat another packet of instant noodles because our body needs about 3 days to clear that wax coating away. Do you know the danger of having too much wax coating in our stomach It will lead to cancer if it is in our body for so long.
Luckily, there is a way of reducing the danger before we eat instant noodles. First, wash the noodles with warm water, stir (搅拌) them and pour away the water containing the wax coating. Then repeat the first step and try to stir them again to wash away the wax coating on the noodles before cooking them. The shop vendors (供应商) will often wash away the dangerous wax coating.
It is very easy to cook instant noodles but we must pay attention to the wax coating if we eat too much. Imagine having too much of it in your stomach. Oh, my! Hope this article will help more people know about the hidden danger!
8. What should you do before eating instant noodles according to the writer
A. Stir the noodles twice in really cold water.
B. Stop the noodles from joining together.
C. Wash away the wax coating on the noodles.
D. Drink large amounts of warm or hot water.
9. How does the author feel about eating 2 packets of instant noodles in a day
A. Healthy. B. Dangerous. C. Happy. D. Angry.
10. What does the underlined word “it” in the last paragraph refer to
A. The instant noodle. B. The hidden danger.
C. The attention. D. The wax coating.
11 The author writes this text mainly to _____ .

Which comes first, happiness or money Are richer people happier And if so, how do people get much richer A recent study could tell you the answer.
The study looked into thousands of teenagers and found that those who felt better about life as young adults tended to have higher incomes by the time they turned 29. Those who were happiest earned an average of $8, 000 more than those who were the most depressed.
The researchers, from University College London and the University of Warwick, say that very gloomy teens, no matter how tall or smart they were, earned 10% less than their peers, while the happier ones earned up to 30% more.
Happier teenagers have an easier time getting through school, college and a job interview, chiefly because they always feel better about life. It may also be true that happier people find it easier to make friends, who are often the key to homework help or networking.
A report in June suggested that professional respect was more important than dollars in terms of workplace happiness. In August scientists announced that they had found the gene for happiness in women, Alas (the same gene doesn't appear to have the same effect on men). And in October researchers in the UK and in the US announced that people who eat seven portions of fruit and vegetables a day report being the happiest.
The big question is: if it really is true that happier kids end up being wealthier kids, is it necessary for parents to get their kids to do the homework The fact is that no homework will make kids happy but surely hurt their grades. Studies do show, after all, that more education leads to better-paid jobs, which may give us a deep thought.
"These findings show that the teenagers’ happiness is important to their future success," one of the report's authors writes. "But what is the most important is that we should find a way to help children gain more satisfaction from doing schoolwork."
12. What conclusion can the researchers draw from the recent study
A. Happy teenagers grow up to be wealthier.
B. Money can make people become happier.
C. Wealth has nothing to do with happiness at all.
D. Schoolwork can help teens achieve success.
13 The main reason why happier people have more chances to succeed is that_____.
A. they are easy to communicate with others
B. they are good at doing their schoolwork
C. they are hopeful and optimistic about their life
D. they eat much more fruit and vegetables a day
14. The underlined word “gloomy” in Paragraph 3 probably means “______”.
A. upset B. glorious
C. happy D. wealthy
15. What can be the best title for the text
A. The way to educate kids B. The source of happiness
C. How to achieve your goal D. The secret of being wealthier

Almost every night for more than 10 years, Kirk Alexander, 48, ordered a late dinner from his local restaurant Domino’s Pizza. But for the past two weeks, he hasn’t called for even once.

Sarah has known Kirk since 2009, when she started working at the Domino’s Pizza as a deliver driver and often made the short trip to Kirk’s home about six minutes away. She knew Kirk worked from home, and neighbors said he seldom left. She also knew that he had some health problems in the past. Something, Sarah worried, was wrong.
Around 1 a.m. on May 8, Sarah sent delivery driver Sean Hamblen to visit Kirk’s home. Sean arrived at Kirk’s home and knocked on the front door several times. There was no answer. He later noticed that the lights and the TV in the home were on. When he called Kirk’s phone, it went straight to voice mail.
Sean drove back to the restaurant to tell Sarah and they decided to call 911. Soon, officers arrived at Kirk’s home. So did Sarah and Sean. They heard a man calling for help from inside. Officers broke down the door and found Kirk on the floor in need of medical attention at once after suffering from a heart attack. One day later, they might have been too late.
So is keeping an eye on regular customers part of Domino’s business plan Not really. “Kirk is part of our family here and we feel like we need to do something.” Sarah said.
4. Why did Sarah send a delivery driver to visit Kirk
A. Because her staff asked her to do so.
B. Because she was worried about Kirk.
C. Because she wanted Kirk to order meals.
D. Because she knew Kirk had a heart attack.
5. What happened to Sean when he first arrived at Kirk’s house
A. He called 911 at once. B. He heard Kirk calling for help.
C. He didn’t get any reply from Kirk. D. He tried to break into Kirk’s house.
6. How can we best describe Sarah
A Clever and polite. B. Brave and patient.
C. Hard-working and careful. D. Warm-hearted and helpful.
7. What’s the best title for the text
A. A man who ordered pizza for years
B. Domino’s Pizza served as a life savior
C. Regular customers of Domino’s Pizza
D. Helping others means helping ourselves
【答案】4. B 5. C 6. D 7. B

Which comes first, happiness or money Are richer people happier And if so, how do people get much richer A recent study could tell you the answer.
The study looked into thousands of teenagers and found that those who felt better about life as young adults tended to have higher incomes by the time they turned 29. Those who were happiest earned an average of $8, 000 more than those who were the most depressed.
The researchers, from University College London and the University of Warwick, say that very gloomy teens, no matter how tall or smart they were, earned 10% less than their peers, while the happier ones earned up to 30% more.
Happier teenagers have an easier time getting through school, college and a job interview, chiefly because they always feel better about life. It may also be true that happier people find it easier to make friends, who are often the key to homework help or networking.
A report in June suggested that professional respect was more important than dollars in terms of workplace happiness. In August scientists announced that they had found the gene for happiness in women, Alas (the same gene doesn't appear to have the same effect on men). And in October researchers in the UK and in the US announced that people who eat seven portions of fruit and vegetables a day report being the happiest.
The big question is: if it really is true that happier kids end up being wealthier kids, is it necessary for parents to get their kids to do the homework The fact is that no homework will make kids happy but surely hurt their grades. Studies do show, after all, that more education leads to better-paid jobs, which may give us a deep thought.
"These findings show that the teenagers’ happiness is important to their future success," one of the report's authors writes. "But what is the most important is that we should find a way to help children gain more satisfaction from doing schoolwork."
12. What conclusion can the researchers draw from the recent study
A. Happy teenagers grow up to be wealthier.
B. Money can make people become happier.
C. Wealth has nothing to do with happiness at all.
D. Schoolwork can help teens achieve success.
13. The main reason why happier people have more chances to succeed is that_____.
A. they are easy to communicate with others
B. they are good at doing their schoolwork
C. they are hopeful and optimistic about their life
D. they eat much more fruit and vegetables a day
14. The underlined word “gloomy” in Paragraph 3 probably means “______”.
A. upset B. glorious
C. happy D. wealthy
15. What can be the best title for the text
A. The way to educate kids B. The source of happiness
C How to achieve your goal D. The secret of being wealthier
【答案】12. A 13. C 14. A 15. D
【解析】
【分析】本文为一篇议论文。文章主要讨论幸福与富有有密切的关系。经过对青少年的调查发现感到最幸福的青年人比感到最不幸福的青年人收入高。调查还发现，家庭作业会伤害青少年，不会让青少年感到幸福。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段的“These findings show that the teenagers’ happiness is important to their future success(这些发现表明，青少年的幸福对他们未来的成功很重要)”可推知，快乐的青少年长大后会更富有。故选A。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段的“Happier teenagers have an easier time getting through school, college and a job interview, chiefly because they always feel better about life.(更快乐的青少年更容易完成学业、上大学和参加工作面试，主要是因为他们对生活的感觉更好)”可知，快乐的人有更多成功的机会的主要原因是，他们对生活充满希望和乐观。故选C。
【14题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词后文“no matter how tall or smart they were, earned 10% less than their peers, while the happier ones earned up to 30% more.(无论他们多么高或多么聪明，比他们的同龄人挣得少10%，而快乐的人挣得多30%)”可知，while前后是比对关系，while后面句子的主语是the happier(更幸福的人)。由此推知，while前面的句子主语应是不幸福的人，伤心的。由此推知，划线词gloomy与upset意思相近。故选A。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“Which comes first, happiness or money Are richer people happier And if so, how do people get much richer A recent study could tell you the answer.(幸福和金钱哪个更重要 富人更幸福吗 如果是这样，人们是如何变得更富有的 最近的一项研究可以告诉你答案)”可知，本文主要讲述了幸福与富有有密切关系的研究。由此可知，The secret of being wealthier(变得更富有的秘密)适合作本文最佳标题。故选D。

【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇说明文。地球是太阳系里唯一适合生命发展的行星，另一颗与地球有几分相似的行星是火星，但迄今为止还没有发现那里有生命迹象。
【41题详解】
考查冠词。句意：作为离太阳第三远的行星，地球与太阳的距离似乎正合适。third在此表顺序，故其前应用定冠词the。故填the。
【42题详解】
考查副词。句意：离太阳较近的行星温度极高，它们的表面被太阳烤焦。修饰形容词hot应用副词extremely。故填extremely。
【43题详解】
考查时态语态。句意：当地球发展的时候，它被许多气体所覆盖。主语与cover 之间是被动关系，根据上文the earth developed可知为一般过去时的被动语态，主语为it，谓语用单数。故填 was covered。
【44题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：这些气体使地球变热。结合句意表示“引起某物做某事”可知短语为cause sth. to do sth.。故填to become。
【45题详解】
考查介词。句意：下了很长一段时间的大雨。结合句意表示“很长一段时间”可知短语为for a very long time。故填 for。
【46题详解】
考查it的用法。句意：水使植物生长成为可能。此处为make it adj.，it作形式宾语。故填it。
【47题详解】
考查名词的数。句意：然后植物在大气中制造氧气，这是人类和动物呼吸的气体。animal为可数名词，根据上文humans and可知用复数形式。故填animals。
【48题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：火星是太阳系里唯一看起来与地球有几分相似的行星。分析句子可知，空缺处引导了一个定语从句，修饰先行词the only planet in the solar system，在从句中作主语；当先行词有the only修饰时，关系代词只能用that。故填that。
【49题详解】

Dear Tom,
How are things going I can’t wait to tell you the good news what my family will take a trip to England this winter. My father often say that it will be a good chance for me to experience English culture. The journey will be tired and long. We will take a flight at midnight. It will be dark all the way to England, but we can see nothing through the windows. We will stay at there for two weeks. Could you offer me some advices on where to stay, what to eat and how to travel in such short time I’d appreciate you if you can provide me with some necessary information. I’m sure your suggestions will surely make my visit comfortably.
I’m looking forward to hear from you soon.
Yours,
Max
【答案】1.what→that 2.say→says 3.tired→tiring 4.but→and/so 5.删除at
6advices→advice 7.short前加a 8.you→it 9.comfortably→comfortable
10.hear→hearing
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇应用文。本篇书信的内容主要讲述Max一家在今年冬天的旅行计划，并写信询问Tom的建议。
【详解】1. 考查同位语从句。句意：我迫不及待想要告诉你一个好消息：我们一家人将在今年冬天去英国旅行。根据句子结构可知，此处是同位语从句。该同位语从句的引导词在从句中不作任何成分，只起到连接作用，应用that。故将what改为that。
2. 考查时态。句意：我爸爸经常说它将是我体验英国文化的好机会。根据often可知，本句时态是一般现在时。主语My father是单数名词，其后动词应变单三，故将say改为says。
3. 考查形容词。句意：这趟旅程是令人疲惫的并且时间很长。本句主语是The journey。当物作主语时，应用-ing结尾的形容词tiring修饰，表示“令人疲惫的”，故将tired改为tiring。
4. 考查连词。句意：我们在半夜坐飞机，去英国的路上将一直很黑。并且（或因此）通过窗户，我们将什么也看不到。①根据句意及句子结构可知，前后两小句构成因故关系，故将but改为so。②根据句意可知，前后两小句不是转折关系，后一句是对前一句的补充说明，故将but改为and。
5. 考查介词。句意：我们将在那里待两周。there是副词，不能与介词搭配，故将at删除。
6. 考查不可数名词。句意：你可以给我一些关于待在哪、吃什么和如何在短时间旅行的建议吗？advice是不可数名词，表示“建议”，故将advices改为advice。
7. 考查冠词。句意：你可以给我一些关于待在哪、吃什么和如何在短时间内旅行的建议吗？短语in a short time表示“在短时间内”，故将short前加a。
8. 考查代词。句意：如果你能提供一些必要信息的话，我将不胜感激。固定句型I’d appreciate it if you can…表示“如果你能……，我将不胜感激”，故将you改为it。
9. 考查形容词。句意：我相信你的建议将一定使我的旅程变得舒服。根据短语make sth.+adj.表示“使某事……”，故此处应用形容词comfortable，作宾语补足语。故将comfortably改为comfortable。
10. 考查动名词。句意：期待马上收到你的来信。短语look forward to doing sth.表示“期待某人做某事”。其中to是介词，后接动名词，故将hear改为hearing。

【答案】Dear Mr Evans,
I am indeed sorry to tell you that I won't be able to attend the lecture on English history tomorrow afternoon. My mother suddenly fell ill and was taken to hospital last night and my father is on a business trip to Beijing now. I am afraid that I will have to take care of her these days.
However I am actually very interested in English society and history. I wonder if it is possible for the talk to be recorded and if so, could I borrow the tape It would mean a great deal to me to listen to the tape and learn what is covered in the talk.
Please allow me to say sorry again. I sincerely hope that you will be able to understand my situation and accept my apology.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua
