二、七选五
Happy people have habits you can introduce into your everyday life. Here are some of them.
They surround themselves with other happy people.
Joy can spread. Researchers of the Framingham Heart Study who have studied the spread of happiness for over 20 years found that those who are surrounded by happy people are more likely to become happy in the future. ①_________
They try to be happy.
Yes. It's as simple as it sounds. ②_________ According to two studies recently published in The Journal of Positive Psychology, those who actively tried to feel happier in the studies showed the highest level of positive moods.
They are mindful of the good.
③_________ However, happy people give attention to their smaller victories, too. "When we take time to notice the things that go right, it means we're getting a lot of little rewards throughout the day," says an expert.
They devote some of their time to giving.
Even though there are only 24 hours in a day, positive people fill some of that time doing good for others, which, in return, does some good for themselves. A long-term research project called Americans' Changing Lives found a series of benefits associated with altruism (利他主义). ④_________ People of all ages who volunteered were happier and experienced better physical health and less depression.
⑤_________
"When you listen, you open up your ability to take in more knowledge," writes David Mezzapelle, author of Contagious Optimism. Good listening is a skill that strengthens relationships and leads to more satisfying experiences. A good listener may walk away from a conversation feeling as if his presence served a purpose, which is closely connected with increased happiness.
A. They make a point to listen.
B. They smile when they mean it.
C. Just trying to be happy can lift your spirits.
D. Volunteer work was good for both mental and physical health.
E. This is reason enough to spend more time with cheerful people.
F. It's important to celebrate great hard-earned accomplishments.
G. Happy people take time to appreciate the pleasures that are easy to come by.
三、阅读理解
There are two types of people in the world. Although they have equal degree of health and wealth and other comforts of life, one becomes happy and the other becomes unhappy. This arises from the different ways in which they consider things, people, events and the resulting effects.
People who are to be happy fix their attention on the convenience of things: the pleasant parts of conversation, the well-prepared dishes, the goodness of the wine and the fine weather. They enjoy all the cheerful things. Those who are to be unhappy think and speak only of the opposite things. Therefore, they are continually dissatisfied. By their remarks, they sour the pleasure of society, hurt many people, and make themselves disagreeable everywhere. If this turn of mind was founded in nature, such unhappy people would be more pitiful. The intention of criticising and being disliked is perhaps taken up by imitation. It grows into a habit, unknown to its possessors. The habit may be strong, but it may be cured when those who have it realise its bad effects on their interests and tastes. I hope this little warning may be of service to them, and help them change this habit.
Although in fact it is chiefly an act of imagination, it has serious results in life since it brings on deep sorrow and bad luck. Those people hurt many others; nobody loves them, and no one treats them with more than the most common politeness and respect. This frequently puts them in a bad temper and draws them into arguments. If they aim at getting some advantages in social position or fortune, nobody wishes them success. Nor will anyone start a step or speak a word to favour their hopes. If they bring public objections to themselves, no one will defend or excuse them, and many will join in to criticise their wrongdoings. They should change this bad habit and be pleased with what is pleasing, without worrying needlessly about themselves and others. If they do not, it will be good for others to avoid any contact with them. Otherwise, it can be disagreeable and sometimes very inconvenient, especially when one becomes mixed up in their quarrels.
1.What does the underlined phrase "sour the pleasure of society" most probably mean
A.Making others unhappy. B.Enjoying the pleasure of life.
C.Tending to please others openly. D.Having a good taste in social life.
2.What can we conclude from the text
A.We should pity all such unhappy people.
B.People can get rid of the habit of unhappiness.
C.Such unhappy people are dangerous to social life.
D.Unhappy people cannot understand happy persons.
3.What may the author suggest when unhappy people insist on keeping the habit
A.Showing no respect and politeness to them.
B.Preventing any communication with them.
C.Persuading them to recognise the bad effects.
D.Quarrelling with them until they realise the mistakes.
4.What is the purpose of the text
A.To describe two types of people in the world: happy and unhappy.
B.To laugh at unhappy people and let us avoid such kind of people.
C.To suggest unhappy people remove the habit of unhappiness.
D.To suggest people should fix their attention on happy things.
答案以及解析
一、填空
1.答案:getting
解析:句意为: 对于老师而言, (他们)有各种各样的方法走进学生的内心。the approach to...为固定表达, 其中to为介词, 后面需使用动名词作宾语。
2.答案:to distinguish
解析:句意为: 一个人想要在求职面试中脱颖而出需要付出很多。根据句子成分划分和提示词It, It在句中作形式主语, 此处应用动词不定式短语作真正的主语。
3.答案:had been looking
解析:句意为: 她寻找丢失的项链已经三天了, 但是一无所获。根据句意和was可知, 谓语动词look for表示的动作发生在was made表示的动作之前, 即发生于"过去的过去", 且寻找的动作一直在进行且已经持续了一段时间, 故使用过去完成进行时。
4.答案:Bathed
解析:句意为: 沐浴在金色的阳光下, 这个小山谷看起来非常迷人。be bathed in...为固定表达, 意为"沐浴在......之中"。根据句子成分划分可知, 设空处应用非谓语动词作状语, 动词bath和句子主语the small valley为逻辑上的被动关系, 故填其过去分词形式。
5.答案:be raised
解析:句意为: 员工强烈要求(公司)把他们的工资提高20%。demand后面的宾语从句需要使用虚拟语气, 从句谓语动词应用"should+动词原形", should可以省略。wages和raise是被动关系, 需使用被动语态。
6.答案:dependent
解析:句意为: 她虽然是个成年人, 但一直过多地依赖父母。be dependent on为固定表达, 意为"依赖"。
7.答案:fully
解析:句意为: 没有完全领会老板的要求, 这使他很不安。设空处应用副词作状语, 修饰动词understand, 表示程度。
8.答案:Unfortunately
解析:句意为: 遗憾的是, 尽管努力练习了, 他最后还是未能通过驾照考试。设空处应用副词作评注性状语, 修饰整个句子。
9.答案:over/of
解析:句意为: 政府已用尽浑身解数去完全把控整个国家。have control over/of sb/sth为固定表达, 意为"控制某人/某物"。
10.答案:that
解析:句意为: 我想明确的是, 你必须要比以前更努力学习。根据句子成分划分, 设空处引导表语从句, 又因从句中不缺成分, 语义完整, 故使用引导词that。
二、七选五
答案:ECFDA
解析:文章介绍了快乐者的习惯。
①E项中的This指代空处上一句中的研究结果"those who are surrounded by happy people are more likely to become happy in the future"。故选E。
②C项中的"trying to be happy"对应空处所在段的段落小标题的内容。故选C。
③根据空后的However可知,空处与后一句之间是转折关系。F项"庆祝来之不易的巨大成就很重要"符合语境。故选F。
④D项中的Volunteer与空处后一句中的volunteered相对应。空处后一句"People of all ages who volunteered were happier and experienced better physical health and less depression"进一步强调了D项所述"志愿工作有利于身心健康"。故选D。
⑤空处为段落小标题。根据本段中的关键词listen, Good listening, A good listener等可知,该段围绕快乐的人是好的倾听者展开,故A项符合本段内容。故选A。
三、阅读理解
答案:1-4 ABBC
解析:1.词义猜测题。由画线部分前后的By their remarks和hurt many people, and make themselves disagreeable everywhere可知, 由and连接的三处并列短语语义接近。由此可以判断出画线部分的意思最接近于A选项"让别人不开心"。故选A。
2.推理判断题。由第二段中的The habit may be strong, but it may be cured when those who have it realise its bad effects on their interests and tastes.可知, 当那些有这种习惯的人意识到它对他们的兴趣和爱好有不良影响时, 即便这种习惯是根深蒂固的, 也可能会被改掉。由此可知, 人们可以摆脱不快乐的习惯。故选B。
3.细节理解题。根据最后一段中的They should change this bad habit and be pleased with what is pleasing, without worrying needlessly about themselves and others. If they do not, it will be good for others to avoid any contact with them.可知, 如果他们仍旧保持坏习惯, 那么其他人最好避免与他们接触。故选B。
4.推理判断题。通读全文可知, 本文对比了快乐的人和不快乐的人的相同之处和不同之处, 作者着重向不快乐的人提出了一些保持快乐的建议: 对令人愉悦的事物感到高兴。由此可知, 本文的主要目的是建议不快乐的人改掉不快乐的习惯。故选C。
