Often, there is a false idea that one must be "in-the-know" to truly appreciate artworks. However, fine art opens the door to everyone. Learning how to look at and understand artworks requires us to take the time to view, identify and think.
Look at the Art
As the first step, it's necessary to take a moment to identify the artwork's general features:
● Is it a painting, sculpture or craftwork
● Does it appear chaotic(混乱的)or organized
● Are the colors bright or soft
Identify the Art and Artist
Knowing when or how the artwork was made and learning something about the artist can reveal more context. We all know the famous painting Guernica is a masterpiece created by Picasso in 1937. However, if we can find out Picasso composed the painting to reflect a bombing during the Spanish Civil War, we'll know more about its anti-war meaning.
Even if the historical context of an artwork is not obvious, knowing the year of its creation offers more context.
Think About the Meaning
Use what you observed in the first two steps to think about meanings the artwork could have.
Consider what the title, the subjects, or the symbols meant to the artist when he or she created the artwork. What do the colors say about the artist, and how do they apply to the subjects in the art For example, the owls in Lebo's works represent wisdom, but why are they so brightly colored
In addition, ask how the art makes you feel. Many artists have specific meanings behind their art, but also encourage viewers to come up with their own explanations. Still, every explanation is not automatically correct, which is why the techniques described above are helpful in finding clues.
The next time you're admiring a work of art, keep these techniques in mind, and its meaning may unfold before your eyes.
16．What is the first step when viewing art
A．Doing some research on the artist.
B．Being "in-the-know" about the work
C．Identifying the work's general features
D．Knowing the year of an artwork's creation
17．When thinking about the meaning of an artwork, you should ____.
A．explain it freely B．choose a title for it
C．describe it to the viewers D．ask how it makes you feel
18．The passage is probably written for ____.
A．museum staff B．gallery visitors
C．professional artists D．exhibition organizers
【答案】16．C
17．D
18．B
【知识点】推理判断题；细节理解题；时文广告类；应用文
【解析】【分析】本文是一篇应用文，介绍了一些欣赏艺术品的步骤和方法。
【点评】考查阅读理解，包含细节理解题、推理判断，是一篇介绍类阅读，注意先略读文章，掌握文章大意，再分析题干及选项，到文中找到相关内容并进行理解。
16．考查细节理解。根据 Look at the Art 部分中的"As the first step, it's necessary to take a moment to identify the artwork's general features."作为第一步，有必要花点时间来确定美术作品的一般特征。可知，看艺术品的第一步是确定作品的一般特征。故选C。
17．考查细节理解。根据倒数第二段中的"In addition, ask how the art makes you feel."此外，询问美术作品给你的感觉如何。可知，在思考一件艺术品的意义时，你应该问问它给你带来了什么感觉。故选D。
18．考查推理判断。根据第一段"Often, there is a false idea that one must be ‘in-the-know' to truly appreciate artworks. However, fine art opens the door to everyone. Learning how to look at and understand artworks requires us to take the time to view, identify and think."通常，有一种错误的想法，认为一个人必须"懂行"才能真正欣赏艺术品。然而，美术向每个人敞开了大门。学习如何看待和理解艺术作品需要我们花时间去观看、识别和思考‘'以及最后一段"The next time you're admiring a work of art, keep these techniques in mind, and its meaning may unfold before your eyes."下次当你欣赏一件艺术品时，记住这些技巧，它的意义就会在你眼前展现出来；结合文章主要说明了一些欣赏艺术品的步骤和方法。可推知，这篇文章可能是为参观画廊的人写的。故选B。

Anuar Abdullah has always had a special feeling for the ocean. In the 1980s, he settled in Perhentian as a diving instructor and fell in love with corals. Twice daily, he went out to sea, staying underwater for as long as his oxygen supply allowed. He learned the shapes and textures(纹理) of coral reefs long before he knew their Latin names. He studied the living conditions—the water temperature, the sunshine, the diversity(多样性) of ocean life—and saw how just one of those factors could bring about large-scale death.
Abdullah spent two decades experimenting with how to grow coral reefs in the ocean. He didn't have a degree in marine (海洋的) biology or a research lab, but he had his own ways. Almost all the materials he used to grow corals came directly from the ocean. He didn't use steel pipes or bricks—which he couldn't afford—instead, he gathered rocks from the seafloor, piling them so they wouldn't be knocked down by tidal waves. While others might depend on a lab to break live coral into pieces that were in turn used for growing, he searched for broken pieces of coral in existing reefs and fixed them to the rocks using animal-friendly glue. When he needed other materials, he started by searching the beach for waste.
Every day, the locals saw him on his knees examining corals in the ocean. Sometimes, he picked up a rock to which he had fixed a piece of coral several weeks earlier, and said very quietly, "My little acropora (鹿角大珊瑚), how are you doing today " The locals whispered about how he'd spent days in the water speaking to corals as if they were people. "Everyone thought I was stupid," said Abdullah, "But I knew I was doing the most important thing in the world."
Actually, Abdullah was right. Now, in a world rapidly losing its coral reefs to climate change and environmental damage, he has become an increasingly influential expert on how to bring them back to life. Thousands have traveled from around the world to learn from Abdullah how to grow corals, with some eventually leaving their jobs to join his projects full time. With his 700 active volunteers, he has already saved about 125 acres of coral reefs
19．Abdullah went out to sea twice daily to ____.
A．study coral reefs
B．have diving training
C．check his oxygen supply
D．share his feelings for the sea
20．Abdullah's way of growing corals is____,
A．eco-friendly and practical B．traditional and indirect
C．high-tech and affordable D．scientific and expensive
21．From the passage we know that Abdullah____.
A．searched for waste to make a living
B．received a degree in marine biology
C．talked to everyone about coral reefs
D．became an expert on coral protection
22．What can we learn from the story
A．Anyone with a dream is amazing.
B．Achievement provides true pleasure.
C．An individual can make a difference.
D．The strong man is strongest when alone.
【答案】19．A

【点评】本题考点涉及细节理解和推理判断两个题型的考查，是一篇人物类阅读，考生需要准确捕捉细节信息，并根据上下文进行逻辑推理，从而选出正确答案。
19．考查细节理解。根据第一段中的"Twice daily, he went out to sea, staying underwater for as long as his oxygen supply allowed. He learned the shapes and textures (纹理) of coral reefs long before he knew their Latin names."他每天两次出海，只要氧气供应允许，他就呆在水下。早在他知道珊瑚礁的拉丁名字之前，他就了解了珊瑚礁的形状和结构。可知，阿卜杜拉每天两次出海研究珊瑚礁。故选A。
20．考查细节理解。根据第二段中的"Almost all the materials he used to grow corals came directly from the ocean. He didn't use steel pipes or bricks—which he couldn't afford—instead, he gathered rocks from the seafloor, piling them so they wouldn't be knocked down by tidal waves."他用来种植珊瑚的几乎所有材料都直接来自海洋。他没有使用钢管或砖块——因为他负担不起——相反，他从海底收集岩石，把它们堆起来，这样它们就不会被潮汐击倒)。可知，阿卜杜拉种植珊瑚的方法既环保又实用。故选A。
21．考查细节理解。根据最后一段中的"Now, in a world rapidly losing its coral reefs to climate change and environmental damage, he has become an increasingly influential expert on how to bring them back to life."如今，由于气候变化和环境破坏，世界上的珊瑚礁正在迅速消失，在如何让珊瑚礁起死回生方面，他已经成为一名越来越有影响力的专家。可知，阿卜杜拉成为了珊瑚保护方面的专家。故选D。
22．考查推理判断。根据最后一段中的"Thousands have traveled from around the world to learn from Abdullah how to grow corals, with some eventually leaving their jobs to join his projects full time. With his 700 active volunteers, he has already saved about 125 acres of coral reefs."成千上万的人从世界各地来到这里，向阿卜杜拉学习如何种植珊瑚，其中一些人最终辞去了工作，全职加入他的项目。与他的700名志愿者一起，他已经拯救了大约125英亩的珊瑚礁；结合文章主要说明了Anuar Abdullah致力于研究和保护珊瑚礁工作，他创造出了环保又实用的种植珊瑚的方法，同时影响更多的人参与到保护珊瑚礁的工作中。可知，故事告诉我们个人可以有所作为。故选C。

Have you ever wished you could be better organized or more sociable Perhaps you're a constant worrier, and you'd prefer to be a little more carefree Actually at least 2/3 of people would like to change some elements of their personality. In the past, such desires appeared to be fruitless. One's personality was thought to be formed in childhood and to remain fixed throughout his entire life.
Recent research from psychology professor Nathan Hudson and his colleagues, however, challenges this expectation of a fixed personality. With the right psychological strategies and enough effort, they say, many people can successfully shape their desired personality.
Their interventions (干预) typically involve recommending regular activities that reflect the personality traits(特征) people wish to adopt. Introverts who wish to be more outgoing, for example, might have the goal of introducing themselves to a stranger once a week, or making small talk with the cashier in the supermarket. Someone who wishes to be more organized and disciplined might be asked to carefully double-check an email before sending it, or to write a to-do list before going to bed.
While these tasks may seem insignificant, the aim is for the thinking patterns and behaviors they produce to become habitual. And the evidence so far suggests it works remarkably well. In one 15-week trial of 400 people, participants accepted an average of two challenges each week. After they completed those tasks, their traits shifted in the desired direction, according to a personality questionnaire (调查问卷).
The unexpected personality change should be good news for anyone who wishes they were a bit more sociable, organized, or happy-go-lucky. Another potential benefit is that awareness of this research could help improve mental health.
People always believe negative feelings are just part of who they are, and there is little they can do to change them. But what if educating people about their potential for personality change could place them on a more positive track To test this idea, Harvard professor of psychology, John Weisz, and his partner selected a group of 100 teenagers who had previously shown signs of anxiety or depression. They took a computerized course that explained the science of brain plasticity(可塑性), and were then given worksheets to strengthen what they had learned.
When Weisz checked in on the teens' mental health nine months later, the students reported a significant decrease in their anxiety and depression compared with those who had instead taken part in a course on "emotional expression".
Whether you are struggling with serious issues or simply want to polish off your rougher edges, remember that character is within your own hands and you have the power to become what you want to be.
23．According to the passage, an old belief about personality is that ____.
A．most people are satisfied with their personality
B．sociable or organized people are more popular
C．childhood has nothing to do with personality
D．people can't change their personality traits
24．In Nathan Hudson's research, participants ____.
A．became more aware of their mental health
B．formed new thinking patterns and behaviors
C．reported their completed tasks in the questionnaire
D．were advised to work as cashiers in the supermarket
25．John Weisz's study is mentioned to ____ Hudson's research.
A．question the result of B．make a comparison with
C．explain the method used in D．show an additional benefit of
26．Which of the following would be the best title for this passage
A．Mental Issues: More than Meets the Eye
B．Personality: It Is Not Set in Stone
C．Your Personality Shapes Your Future
D．A Great Cure for Mental Problems

23．考查细节理解。根据第一段中的"In the past, such desires appeared to be fruitless. One's personality was thought to be formed in childhood and to remain fixed throughout his entire life."在过去，这样的愿望似乎是徒劳的。一个人的个性被认为是在童年时期形成的，并在他的一生中保持不变。可知，关于个性，过去人们总是认为那是在童年时期形成的，并保持不变。故选D。
24．考查推理判断。根据第四段"While these tasks may seem insignificant, the aim is for the thinking patterns and behaviors they produce to become habitual. And the evidence so far suggests it works remarkably well. In one 15-week trial of 400 people, participants accepted an average of two challenges each week. After they completed those tasks, their traits shifted in the desired direction, according to a personality questionnaire (调查问卷)."虽然这些任务看起来微不足道，但目标是让他们产生的思维模式和行为成为习惯。迄今为止的证据表明，它的效果非常好。在一项有400人参加的为期15周的试验中，参与者平均每周接受两次挑战。根据一份性格调查问卷显示，在他们完成这些任务后，他们的性格会朝着预期的方向转变。可知，在Nathan的研究中，参与者形成了新的思维模式和行为。故选B。
25．考查推理判断。根据第六段中的"But what if educating people about their potential for personality change could place them on a more positive track To test this idea, Harvard professor of psychology, John Weisz, and his partner selected a group of 100 teenagers who had previously shown signs of anxiety or depression."但是，如果教育人们人格改变的潜力可以让他们走上更积极的道路呢？为了验证这一观点，哈佛大学心理学教授John Weisz和他的搭档选择了一组100名青少年，他们之前都有焦虑或抑郁的迹象；以及第七段"When Weisz checked in on the teens' mental health nine months later, the students reported a significant decrease in their anxiety and depression compared with those who had instead taken part in a course on ‘emotional expression'."当Weisz在9个月后检查这些青少年的心理健康时，与那些参加"情绪表达"课程的学生相比，这些学生的焦虑和抑郁明显减少。可知，John Weisz的研究显示了Hudson研究的另一个好处，也就是可以改善心理健康。故选D。
26．考查主旨大意。根据第二段"Recent research from psychology professor Nathan Hudson and his colleagues, however, challenges this expectation of a fixed personality. With the right psychological strategies and enough effort, they say, many people can successfully shape their desired personality."然而，心理学教授Nathan Hudson和他的同事最近的研究挑战了这种固定性格的预期。他们说，通过正确的心理策略和足够的努力，许多人可以成功地塑造他们想要的个性；以及最后一段"Whether you are struggling with serious issues or simply want to polish off your rougher edges, remember that character is within your own hands and you have the power to become what you want to be."无论你是在与严肃的问题作斗争，还是只是想擦亮自己的锋芒，记住，性格掌握在你自己手中，你有能力成为你想成为的人。可知，本文主要介绍的是个性并不是一成不变的，我们可以通过正确的心理策略和足够的努力成功地塑造我们想要的个性。故选B。

A comerstone of environmental policy is the debate over protecting nature for humans' sake (instrumental values) or for nature's (intrinsic values). We propose that focusing only on instrumental or intrinsic values may fail to resonate (引起共鸣) views on personal and collective well-being, or "what is right," about nature and the environment. It is time to engage seriously with a third class of values, one with diverse roots and current expressions: relational values. By doing so, we reframe the discussion about environmental protection, and open the door to new, potentially more productive policy approaches.
In philosophical terms, relational values are preferences, principles, and virtues associated with relationships, both interpersonal and as required by policies and social norms.
Relational values can apply to interactions with nature. Some people's identities are rooted in long-term care and stewardship, such as volunteer river-keepers, gardeners or farmers. Other people and social organizations hold worldviews that value kinship(亲属关系) between people and nature. They subscribe to the concepts of "Mother Nature," "Mother Earth," and so on. Also, many people believe that their cultural identity and well-being originate from their relationships with human and nonhuman beings, connected by particular places. Caring for and attending to places can be extremely important for maintaining cultural practices and core values. According to these views, the value of the land is not independent of humans.
Therefore, environmental policy and management should always consider the kinds of relationships people already have with nature, and how these might be engaged to lessen the negative effects of human lifestyles on ecosystems and enhance positive ones. For example, the bond between parent or teacher and child can serve as a channel for social norms, encouraging respect and passion for nature, through activities including fishing and hunting, gardening, hiking, or bird-watching. It is also possible to develop values and relationships through long-term and repeated experiences with peer(同伴) groups, by laboring on the land or taking part in outdoor adventure. Bonding is strengthened through play, struggling, suffering, and celebrating together.
Relational values are finally receiving attention. If activists, researchers, policymakers, and private-sector leaders internalize this message, perhaps environmental decisions will better account for our relationships with nature and many concepts of a good life. Attending to such values is key to the real inclusion of diverse groups in environmental protection, and to achieving social-ecological relationships that provide fulfilling lives for present and future generations.
27．According to the author, relational values ____.
A．are traditional expressions with a long history
B．provide more productive philosophical approaches
C．help reflect on the right views about protecting nature
D．prove to be an effective way to improve the environment
28．What does the underlined word "stewardship" in Paragraph 3 mean
A．Management. B．Friendship. C．Application. D．Happiness.
29．What can we learn from this passage
A．Outdoor adventure may damage social relationships.
B．The parent-child bond usually leads to new social norms.
C．The value of the land is related to human interactions with it.
D．Human lifestyles will have more negative effects on ecosystems.
30．What's the purpose of the passage
A．To encourage environmental protection through group work.
B．To propose new values for environmental policy making.
C．To stress the importance of a better living environment.
D．To compare different environmental protection values.
【答案】27．C

28．考查词义猜测。根据第三段中的"such as volunteer river-keepers, gardeners or farmers."可知，列举了志愿的河流管理员、园丁或农民，说明有些人的身份根植于长期的照顾和管理，可推知划线词 stewardship 意思是"管理"。故选A。
29．考查细节理解。根据第三段中的"According to these views, the value of the land is not independent of humans."根据这些观点，土地的价值不是独立于人类的；以及第四段中的"It is also possible to develop values and relationships through long-term and repeated experiences with peer groups, by laboring on the land or taking part in outdoor adventure. Bonding is strengthened through play, struggling, suffering, and celebrating together."通过在土地上劳动或参加户外冒险，与同伴群体长期和反复的经历，也可以发展价值观和关系。通过玩耍、挣扎、痛苦和共同庆祝，纽带得以加强。可知，土地的价值与人类与土地的互动有关。故选C。
30．考查推理判断。根据最后一段"Relational values are finally receiving attention. If activists, researchers, policymakers, and private-sector leaders internalize this message, perhaps environmental decisions will better account for our relationships with nature and many concepts of a good life.(关系价值最终得到了关注。如果活动人士、研究人员、政策制定者和私营部门领导人将这一信息内化，也许环境决策将更好地解释我们与自然的关系以及许多美好生活的概念。可推知，文章的目的是为制定环境政策提出新的价值。故选B。

六、阅读表达(共4小题；每小题2分，共8分)
（2023高一下·西城期末） 阅读下面的短文和问题，根据短文内容，在相应题号后的横线上写下相关信息，完成对该问题的回答。答语要意思清楚，结构正确，书写工整。
Tom's wife usually does the shopping, but she had the flu so Tom went instead. Selecting the fruits and vegetables went fine, but when he got to the bread section, he had trouble, because there were over 60 varieties to choose from. Tom compared different types and examined the differences. After 10 minutes of careful consideration, he picked one that seemed like the perfect choice. However, he had to repeat the process for the rest of the shopping list. By the time he had finished and paid for everything, he was tired and upset.
Why did Tom have this kind of experience According to behavioral economics research, although having some options makes us feel good, once we get beyond that small number, the more choices we have, the less happy we feel.
The cause of our unhappiness has its root in one typical judgment error we make—our natural reactions prefer avoiding losses to making gains. This is probably because of our evolutionary(进化的) background; our minds evolved for the savanna(热带草原) environment, not for our modem shopping context. Due to this, when we have lots of options, we feel anxious about making the wrong choice and losing out on the best one.
Digging into research on factors that make a shopping trip an unhappy experience helps us improve our buying decisions. When choosing what to buy, the number one technique involves satisficing instead of maximizing.
Maximizing behavior refers to finding the perfect option when shopping. Maximizers compare all available options to make sure that they get the best deal in terms of performance, price, and so on. They have high expectations, and they hope that the product will meet their expectations.
It's the opposite for satisficers. They set certain minimal criteria (最低标准) that need to be met, then search for the first available product that meets the criteria. They look for products that are "good enough" instead of "perfect". When they focus on "good enough", their brain automatically highlights the positives, and lowers the expectations.
Research shows that maximizing behavior results in less happiness, less satisfaction, and more regret than satisficing.
To be happier, satisfice and limit your choices. Make a short list that compares a reasonable number of options and doesn't include every product available. After all, there's no such thing as the perfect deal.
53．Why did Tom have trouble selecting bread (不多于9个单词)
54．According to the writer, what is the judgment error that causes our unhappiness (不多于9个单词)
55．What products do satisficers look for (不多于11个单词)
56．Do you agree that satisficers are happier in life Why or why not (单词数不限)
【答案】53．Because there were over 60 varieties to choose from.
54．Our natural reactions prefer avoiding losses to making gains.
55．The first available product that meets the minimal criteria they set.
56．开放性试题，答案合理即可。
【知识点】推理判断题；细节理解题；说明文；社会现象类
【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，本文介绍了为什么人们选择越多的时候，反而会越不快乐。
【点评】本题考点涉及细节理解，推理判断和开放型三个题型的考查，是一篇社会现象类阅读，要求考生在捕捉细节信息的基础上，进一步根据上下文的逻辑关系，进行分析，推理，概括和归纳，从而选出正确答案。
53．考查细节理解。根据第一段"Selecting the fruits and vegetables went fine, but when he got to the bread section, he had trouble, because there were over 60 varieties to choose from."挑选水果和蔬菜很顺利，但当他走到面包区时，他遇到了麻烦，因为有60多种可供选择。可知，Tom选择面包的时候遇到了麻烦是因为有60多种面包可供选择。故答案为Because there were over 60 varieties to choose from。
54．考查细节理解。根据第三段中的"The cause of our unhappiness has its root in one typical judgment error we make—our natural reactions prefer avoiding losses to making gains."我们不快乐的根源在于我们犯的一个典型的判断错误——我们的自然反应是避免损失而不是获利。可知，作者所谓的判断错误指的是我们的自然反应是避免损失而不是获利。故答案为Our natural reactions prefer avoiding losses to making gains。
55．考查推理判断。根据第六段中的"It's the opposite for satisficers. They set certain minimal criteria (最低标准) that need to be met, then search for the first available product that meets the criteria. They look for products that are ‘good enough' instead of ‘perfect'."满足者的情况正好相反。他们设置需要满足的最小标准，然后搜索满足标准的第一个可用产品。他们寻找"足够好"而不是"完美"的产品。可知，满足者会设置需要满足的最小标准，然后找寻满足标准的第一个可用产品。故答案为The first available product that meets the minimal criteria they set。
56．考查开放题。要求考生谈谈满足者是否会更快乐以及原因，考生言之有理即可。故参考答案为Because the satisfiers look for products good enough instead of perfect, so their brain highlights and lowers the expectations。

Often, there is a false idea that one must be "in-the-know" to truly appreciate artworks. However, fine art opens the door to everyone. Learning how to look at and understand artworks requires us to take the time to view, identify and think.
Look at the Art
As the first step, it's necessary to take a moment to identify the artwork's general features:
● Is it a painting, sculpture or craftwork
● Does it appear chaotic(混乱的)or organized
● Are the colors bright or soft
Identify the Art and Artist
Knowing when or how the artwork was made and learning something about the artist can reveal more context. We all know the famous painting Guernica is a masterpiece created by Picasso in 1937. However, if we can find out Picasso composed the painting to reflect a bombing during the Spanish Civil War, we'll know more about its anti-war meaning.
Even if the historical context of an artwork is not obvious, knowing the year of its creation offers more context.
Think About the Meaning
Use what you observed in the first two steps to think about meanings the artwork could have.
Consider what the title, the subjects, or the symbols meant to the artist when he or she created the artwork. What do the colors say about the artist, and how do they apply to the subjects in the art For example, the owls in Lebo's works represent wisdom, but why are they so brightly colored
In addition, ask how the art makes you feel. Many artists have specific meanings behind their art, but also encourage viewers to come up with their own explanations. Still, every explanation is not automatically correct, which is why the techniques described above are helpful in finding clues.
The next time you're admiring a work of art, keep these techniques in mind, and its meaning may unfold before your eyes.
16．What is the first step when viewing art
A．Doing some research on the artist.
B．Being "in-the-know" about the work
C．Identifying the work's general features
D．Knowing the year of an artwork's creation
17．When thinking about the meaning of an artwork, you should ____.
A．explain it freely B．choose a title for it
C．describe it to the viewers D．ask how it makes you feel
18．The passage is probably written for ____.
A．museum staff B．gallery visitors
C．professional artists D．exhibition organizers

Anuar Abdullah has always had a special feeling for the ocean. In the 1980s, he settled in Perhentian as a diving instructor and fell in love with corals. Twice daily, he went out to sea, staying underwater for as long as his oxygen supply allowed. He learned the shapes and textures(纹理) of coral reefs long before he knew their Latin names. He studied the living conditions—the water temperature, the sunshine, the diversity(多样性) of ocean life—and saw how just one of those factors could bring about large-scale death.
Abdullah spent two decades experimenting with how to grow coral reefs in the ocean. He didn't have a degree in marine (海洋的) biology or a research lab, but he had his own ways. Almost all the materials he used to grow corals came directly from the ocean. He didn't use steel pipes or bricks—which he couldn't afford—instead, he gathered rocks from the seafloor, piling them so they wouldn't be knocked down by tidal waves. While others might depend on a lab to break live coral into pieces that were in turn used for growing, he searched for broken pieces of coral in existing reefs and fixed them to the rocks using animal-friendly glue. When he needed other materials, he started by searching the beach for waste.
Every day, the locals saw him on his knees examining corals in the ocean. Sometimes, he picked up a rock to which he had fixed a piece of coral several weeks earlier, and said very quietly, "My little acropora (鹿角大珊瑚), how are you doing today " The locals whispered about how he'd spent days in the water speaking to corals as if they were people. "Everyone thought I was stupid," said Abdullah, "But I knew I was doing the most important thing in the world."
Actually, Abdullah was right. Now, in a world rapidly losing its coral reefs to climate change and environmental damage, he has become an increasingly influential expert on how to bring them back to life. Thousands have traveled from around the world to learn from Abdullah how to grow corals, with some eventually leaving their jobs to join his projects full time. With his 700 active volunteers, he has already saved about 125 acres of coral reefs
19．Abdullah went out to sea twice daily to ____.
A．study coral reefs
B．have diving training
C．check his oxygen supply
D．share his feelings for the sea
20．Abdullah's way of growing corals is____,
A．eco-friendly and practical B．traditional and indirect
C．high-tech and affordable D．scientific and expensive
21．From the passage we know that Abdullah____.
A．searched for waste to make a living
B．received a degree in marine biology
C．talked to everyone about coral reefs
D．became an expert on coral protection
22．What can we learn from the story
A．Anyone with a dream is amazing.
B．Achievement provides true pleasure.
C．An individual can make a difference.
D．The strong man is strongest when alone.

Have you ever wished you could be better organized or more sociable Perhaps you're a constant worrier, and you'd prefer to be a little more carefree Actually at least 2/3 of people would like to change some elements of their personality. In the past, such desires appeared to be fruitless. One's personality was thought to be formed in childhood and to remain fixed throughout his entire life.
Recent research from psychology professor Nathan Hudson and his colleagues, however, challenges this expectation of a fixed personality. With the right psychological strategies and enough effort, they say, many people can successfully shape their desired personality.
Their interventions (干预) typically involve recommending regular activities that reflect the personality traits(特征) people wish to adopt. Introverts who wish to be more outgoing, for example, might have the goal of introducing themselves to a stranger once a week, or making small talk with the cashier in the supermarket. Someone who wishes to be more organized and disciplined might be asked to carefully double-check an email before sending it, or to write a to-do list before going to bed.
While these tasks may seem insignificant, the aim is for the thinking patterns and behaviors they produce to become habitual. And the evidence so far suggests it works remarkably well. In one 15-week trial of 400 people, participants accepted an average of two challenges each week. After they completed those tasks, their traits shifted in the desired direction, according to a personality questionnaire (调查问卷).
The unexpected personality change should be good news for anyone who wishes they were a bit more sociable, organized, or happy-go-lucky. Another potential benefit is that awareness of this research could help improve mental health.
People always believe negative feelings are just part of who they are, and there is little they can do to change them. But what if educating people about their potential for personality change could place them on a more positive track To test this idea, Harvard professor of psychology, John Weisz, and his partner selected a group of 100 teenagers who had previously shown signs of anxiety or depression. They took a computerized course that explained the science of brain plasticity(可塑性), and were then given worksheets to strengthen what they had learned.
When Weisz checked in on the teens' mental health nine months later, the students reported a significant decrease in their anxiety and depression compared with those who had instead taken part in a course on "emotional expression".
Whether you are struggling with serious issues or simply want to polish off your rougher edges, remember that character is within your own hands and you have the power to become what you want to be.

A comerstone of environmental policy is the debate over protecting nature for humans' sake (instrumental values) or for nature's (intrinsic values). We propose that focusing only on instrumental or intrinsic values may fail to resonate (引起共鸣) views on personal and collective well-being, or "what is right," about nature and the environment. It is time to engage seriously with a third class of values, one with diverse roots and current expressions: relational values. By doing so, we reframe the discussion about environmental protection, and open the door to new, potentially more productive policy approaches.
In philosophical terms, relational values are preferences, principles, and virtues associated with relationships, both interpersonal and as required by policies and social norms.
Relational values can apply to interactions with nature. Some people's identities are rooted in long-term care and stewardship, such as volunteer river-keepers, gardeners or farmers. Other people and social organizations hold worldviews that value kinship(亲属关系) between people and nature. They subscribe to the concepts of "Mother Nature," "Mother Earth," and so on. Also, many people believe that their cultural identity and well-being originate from their relationships with human and nonhuman beings, connected by particular places. Caring for and attending to places can be extremely important for maintaining cultural practices and core values. According to these views, the value of the land is not independent of humans.
Therefore, environmental policy and management should always consider the kinds of relationships people already have with nature, and how these might be engaged to lessen the negative effects of human lifestyles on ecosystems and enhance positive ones. For example, the bond between parent or teacher and child can serve as a channel for social norms, encouraging respect and passion for nature, through activities including fishing and hunting, gardening, hiking, or bird-watching. It is also possible to develop values and relationships through long-term and repeated experiences with peer(同伴) groups, by laboring on the land or taking part in outdoor adventure. Bonding is strengthened through play, struggling, suffering, and celebrating together.
Relational values are finally receiving attention. If activists, researchers, policymakers, and private-sector leaders internalize this message, perhaps environmental decisions will better account for our relationships with nature and many concepts of a good life. Attending to such values is key to the real inclusion of diverse groups in environmental protection, and to achieving social-ecological relationships that provide fulfilling lives for present and future generations.
27．According to the author, relational values ____.
A．are traditional expressions with a long history
B．provide more productive philosophical approaches
C．help reflect on the right views about protecting nature
D．prove to be an effective way to improve the environment
28．What does the underlined word "stewardship" in Paragraph 3 mean
A．Management. B．Friendship. C．Application. D．Happiness.
29．What can we learn from this passage
A．Outdoor adventure may damage social relationships.
B．The parent-child bond usually leads to new social norms.
C．The value of the land is related to human interactions with it.
D．Human lifestyles will have more negative effects on ecosystems.
30．What's the purpose of the passage
A．To encourage environmental protection through group work.
B．To propose new values for environmental policy making.
C．To stress the importance of a better living environment.
D．To compare different environmental protection values.

Tom's wife usually does the shopping, but she had the flu so Tom went instead. Selecting the fruits and vegetables went fine, but when he got to the bread section, he had trouble, because there were over 60 varieties to choose from. Tom compared different types and examined the differences. After 10 minutes of careful consideration, he picked one that seemed like the perfect choice. However, he had to repeat the process for the rest of the shopping list. By the time he had finished and paid for everything, he was tired and upset.
Why did Tom have this kind of experience According to behavioral economics research, although having some options makes us feel good, once we get beyond that small number, the more choices we have, the less happy we feel.
The cause of our unhappiness has its root in one typical judgment error we make—our natural reactions prefer avoiding losses to making gains. This is probably because of our evolutionary(进化的) background; our minds evolved for the savanna(热带草原) environment, not for our modem shopping context. Due to this, when we have lots of options, we feel anxious about making the wrong choice and losing out on the best one.
Digging into research on factors that make a shopping trip an unhappy experience helps us improve our buying decisions. When choosing what to buy, the number one technique involves satisficing instead of maximizing.
Maximizing behavior refers to finding the perfect option when shopping. Maximizers compare all available options to make sure that they get the best deal in terms of performance, price, and so on. They have high expectations, and they hope that the product will meet their expectations.
It's the opposite for satisficers. They set certain minimal criteria (最低标准) that need to be met, then search for the first available product that meets the criteria. They look for products that are "good enough" instead of "perfect". When they focus on "good enough", their brain automatically highlights the positives, and lowers the expectations.
Research shows that maximizing behavior results in less happiness, less satisfaction, and more regret than satisficing.
To be happier, satisfice and limit your choices. Make a short list that compares a reasonable number of options and doesn't include every product available. After all, there's no such thing as the perfect deal.
53．Why did Tom have trouble selecting bread (不多于9个单词)
54．According to the writer, what is the judgment error that causes our unhappiness (不多于9个单词)

They look for products that are ‘good enough' instead of ‘perfect'."满足者的情况正好相反。他们设置需要满足的最小标准，然后搜索满足标准的第一个可用产品。他们寻找"足够好"而不是"完美"的产品。可知，满足者会设置需要满足的最小标准，然后找寻满足标准的第一个可用产品。故答案为The first available product that meets the minimal criteria they set。
56．考查开放题。要求考生谈谈满足者是否会更快乐以及原因，考生言之有理即可。故参考答案为Because the satisfiers look for products good enough instead of perfect, so their brain highlights and lowers the expectations。
