Ⅱ.完形填空
(2013·东北三省四市联考)
For a long time I saw happiness as a huge banner (横幅) across the finish line of a long race. I felt that only when I __16__ certain things could I finally be happy in my life. Most of the time I felt like a tortoise believing that being slow and __17__ would win the race. At other times I would __18__ like a rabbit trying different side roads at a dangerous __19__ hoping to reach that banner a little faster. __20__， I began to see that no matter how long I raced towards it, the banner was never any __21__. I finally decided one day to __22__ and take a break. It was then that I saw my __23__ sitting beside me.
It had been with me as I __24__ hard to support my family, as I played with my children and heard their __25__ and even when I was __26__ with my wife at my side looking after me. It had been with me as I raced towards that stupid banner. I just didn't have the __27__ to see it.
There is an old Chinese proverb that says，“Tension is what you think you should be. __28__ is who you are.” Perhaps we all should stop our race towards the __29__ life we think we should have and __30__ the life we have now. Happiness will never be found under some banner far away. It will be found __31__ your own heart, soul and mind. It will be found when you __32__ that others love you just as you do.
Don't be a tortoise or a rabbit when it comes to your happiness. Be a playful puppy and carry your stick of __33__ with you everywhere you go. __34__ yourself out of the race and realize that when it comes to love and happiness you are __35__ there.

答案与解析
本文为议论文。当我们满怀期待、行色匆匆去追逐幸福时，幸福其实就在我们身边，只是毫不起眼罢了。
16．D　作者在谈论自己最初对幸福的理解。他认为只有先成就了事业，才能最终获得自己想要的幸福。上句中的“... across the finish line of a long race”暗示本空答案为accomplish(完成；实现)。
17．B 本句中作者把自己比作乌龟。根据英语叠词的修辞手段，不难看出A、B两项中，与slow意思相近的词是steady，slow and steady“稳扎稳打的”。
18．A 本句中作者把自己比作兔子。在通往幸福的道路上，作者有时表现得像(act like)一只急功近利的兔子。
19．C 由下文hoping to reach that banner a little faster(希望更快到达那条横幅)提示可知这里指的是速度。
20．B 在漫长的追求幸福的过程中，作者逐渐地(gradually)明白了一个道理。
21．C 作者渐渐明白，无论向着那条横幅跑多久，它都不会离你更近。
22．D 根据下文的and take a break(休息一会儿)可判断出答案选D项。sit down“坐下”；settle in“定居”；start off“动身”；stop by“顺路拜访”。
23．A 当作者停下追逐的脚步，坐下来休息时，他发现幸福原来就在身边。
24．D 根据下文的to support my family(养家)可知，这里指努力工作。study“学习；研究”；fight“斗争；战斗”；exercise“练习；锻炼”。
25．A 和孩子们一起玩耍，听到的自然是他们的欢笑声，而不是complaint“投诉”； story“故事”； breathing“呼吸”。[来源:学科网ZXXK]
26．C 根据下文的“with my wife at my side looking after me”(妻子陪在我身边照顾我)可判断，这里指作者生病的时候。
27．C 幸福就在身边，发现它需要的是智慧(wisdom)，而非勇气“courage”、机会“chance”或力气“strength”。
28．B 根据上文“你认为你应该的样子”以及下文“你本来的样子”可判断出，这两句话是相对而言的。tension(紧张)的反义词是relaxation(放松)。stress“压力”；failure“失败”；pain“痛苦”。
29．B 人们不应该一味地去追求所谓的完美的生活，从而错过了身边的幸福。
30．A 追求完美的生活不会带来幸福，幸福在当下，享受在当下。
31．D 幸福在你的内心和灵魂里。
32．A 幸福是一种内心的感受，所以只有当你意识到(realize)别人爱你正如你爱他们一样的时候，你才会发现幸福。
33．D 无论走到哪里都要快乐。选项中只有D项与文章中心词happiness相符合。sorrow“悲伤”； responsibility“责任”； fortune“命运”。[来源:Zxxk.Com]
34．D 动词take“带去；引领”，这里指将自己带离这场比赛。carry sth. out“执行”； make sth. out“辨认清楚；填写”； push sth. out“大量生产”。[来源:学科网ZXXK]
35．C 要明白在提到爱与幸福的时候，你就已经身处其中了。
Ⅲ.阅读理解
(2013·湖南卷)
It's such a happy-looking library, painted yellow, decorated with palm-tree stickers and sheltered from the Florida sun by its own roof. About the size of a microwave oven, it's pedestrian-friendly, too, waiting for book lovers next to a sidewalk in Palm Beach Country Estates, along the northern boundary of Palm Beach Gardens.
It's a library built with love.
A year ago, shortly after Janey Henriksen saw a Brian Williams report about the Little Free Library organization, a Wisconsin-based nonprofit that aims to promote literacy and build a sense of community in a neighborhood by making books freely available, she announced to her family of four, “That's what we're going to do for our spring break！”
Son Austin, now a 10th-grader, didn't see the point of building a library that resembles a mailbox. But Janey insisted, and husband Peter unwillingly got to work. The 51-year-old owner of a ship supply company modified a small wooden house that he'd built years earlier for daughter Abbie's toy horses, and made a door of glass.
After adding the library's final touches (装点), the family hung a signboard on the front, instructing users to “take a book, return a book，” and making the Henriksen library, now one of several hundred like it nationwide and among more than 2,500 in the world, the only Little Free Library in Palm Beach County.
They stocked it with 20 or so books they'd already read, a mix of science fiction, reference titles, novels and kids' favorites. “I told them, keep in mind that you might not see it again，” said Janey, a stay-at-home mom.
Since then, the collection keeps replenishing (补充) itself, thanks to ongoing donations from borrowers. The library now gets an average of five visits a day.
The project's best payoff, says Peter, are the thank-you notes left behind. “We had no idea in the beginning that it would be so popular.”
本文介绍了一个充满爱心的微波炉大小的图书室，受到了人们的欢迎。
36．In what way is the library “pedestrian-friendly”？
A. It owns a yellow roof.
B. It stands near a sidewalk.
C. It protects book lovers from the sun.
D. It uses palm-tree stickers as decorations.
答案与解析　B　细节理解题。A项文中没提及；第一段中第一句说“roof”来给这个图书馆遮阳光，并没说给看书的人遮阳光，故排除C项；D项不是pedestrian-friendly的表现；根据第一段第二句可知，它就在路边，等待着来往的人看书，故选B项。
37．Janey got the idea to build a library from ________.
A. a visit to Brian Williams
B. a spring break with her family
C. a book sent by one of her neighbors
D. a report on a Wisconsin-based organization[来源:学科网ZXXK]
答案与解析　D　细节理解题。整个第三段告诉我们这个想法的起源，故选D项。
38．The library was built ________.
A. by a ship supply company
B. on the basis of toy horses
C. like a mailbox
D. with glass
答案与解析　C　细节理解题。根据第四段第三句可知，A、B、D三项错误；根据第四段第一句可知，C项正确。
39．What can we infer about the signboard?
A. It was made by a user of the library.
B. It marked a final touch to the library.
C. It aimed at making the library last long.
D. It indicated the library was a family property.
答案与解析　C　推理判断题。由第五、七段可知，拿一本书，还一本书，本来里面只有20本左右的书，后来越来越多，可知，写出布告的目的就是发展它。故选C项。
