During my elementary school years, I used to compare my mom with my best friend Tiffany’s mom.
Tiffany’s mom always gave her lots of money to buy the most fashionable clothes and favorite food. Her mom allowed her to do anything she liked. I really admired Tiffany. My mom didn’t give me much pocket money and she always told me that I should behave myself. I was annoyed with her.
Whenever I didn’t get what I wanted I would complain to my mom, Tiffany’s mom would give her that! I wish she were my mom. Every time, my morn would calmly say “Poor Tiffany”. I couldn’t understand her. “She shouldn’t be feeling sorry for Tiffany!” I thought. “She should be feeling sorry for me.”
One day, I couldn’t help saying to Mom, “Poor Tiffany Lucky Tiffany! She gets everything she wants! Why do you feel sorry for her ” I burst into tears.
My mom sat down next to me and said softly. “Yes, I do feel sorry for her. I have been teaching you a lesson that she will never be taught.”
I looked up at her. “What are you talking about ”
Mom said with care, “One day she will really want something. Maybe she’ll find out that she can’t have it. Her mother won’t always be around to give her money, and what’s more, money can’t buy everything.”
She continued, “I have taught you valuable lessons by not giving you everything you want. You’ll know how to look for bargains and save money, but she won’t. You’ll understand that you need to work hard to get the things that you want but she won’t. When Tiffany is a grown woman, she’ll wake up one day and she will be wishing that she had a mom like the one you’ve got. Life lessons are more important than modern clothes and delicious food.”

The United Arab Emirates (UAE) is mostly a desert. However, this has not stopped the country from creating great building projects. On September 26, UAE officials announced another ambitious project — Mars Science City. Expansive deserts and miles of coastline provide plenty of options for safe rocket launches (发射). And its position on the Earth makes it especially appealing as the spin of the Earth provides an extra push, meaning less fuel is needed to get payloads into orbit. All these seem to make it possible.
The Mars City Project, designed by Bjarke Ingels Group, or BIG, will provide a realistic model to simulate (模仿) living on the surface of Mars, the red planet. It is part of the UAE’s Mars 2117 Project to lead the global race to land humans on Mars and be the first to build a settlement there. Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid, Prime Minister and ruler of Dubai, says, “The UAE seeks international support to develop technologies that benefit humans, and lay the foundation of a better future for more generations to come.”
Built outside Dubai, the 1.9 million square feet city is expected to cost $135 million. It will consist of several dome-shaped laboratories, similar to the ones imagined for the first Mars settlers. Scientists from around the word will be invited to conduct research to come up with methods to create food, water and energy, using techniques which can be copied onto the red planet. The living spaces, where the researchers can live for up to a year, will simulate the planet’s conditions as much as possible.
The research city will also include a museum featuring famous space achievements to help educate and inspire children to undertake space exploration and discovery. To discover whether the construction method works on Mars, the museum’s walls will be 3D printed using the sand from the nearby desert. Now, if they would only add some living quarters for the general public to experience life on Mars without leaving Earth, life would be perfect.
8. What can we conclude about the United Arab Emirates
A. It is short of fine weather.
B. It is a nice place for launching.
C. It can provide adequate fuel supply.
D. It has the greatest architects in the world.
9. What will scientists do in the laboratories
A. Educate visitors on trips to Mars.
B. Develop the Mars settlers’ imagination.
C. Find ways to produce food, water and energy on Mars.
D. Create a climate-controlled environment for future use.
10. Why will the museum’s walls be 3D printed
A. To show famous space techniques.
B. To make full use of the nearby desert.
C. To inspire children to love exploration.
D. To test building skills used by Mars settlers.
11. What’s the best title for the text
A. UAE to Build Mars Science City
B. UAE’s Great Exploration of Mars
C. UAE to Build First Mars Settlement
D. UAE’s Scientistific Contribution to Humans
【答案】8. B 9. C 10. D 11. A
【解析】

【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第一段Expansive deserts and miles of coastline provide plenty of options for safe rocket launches (发射). And its position on the Earth makes it especially appealing as the spin of the Earth provides an extra push, meaning less fuel is needed to get payloads into orbit. All these seem to make it possible.可知阿拉伯联合酋长国有广阔的沙漠和长长的海岸线，为其进行安全的火箭发射提供可能，因此B正确。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第三段 Scientists from around the word will be invited to conduct research to come up with methods to create food, water and energy, using techniques which can be copied onto the red planet. 可知科学家实验的内容是找出在火星上制造食物，水和能源的方法， 所以 C 正确。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第四段To discover whether the construction method works on Mars, the museum’s walls will be 3D printed using the sand from the nearby desert. 可知墙用3D打印的原因是为了发现这种建造方法在火星上是否适用。故选D。

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 8000 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.However, 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. Wealth has nothing to do with happiness at all.
B. Money can make people become happier.
C. Happy teenagers grow up to be wealthier.
D. Schoolwork can help teens achieve success.
13. The main reason why happier people have more chances to succeed is that .
A. they are hopeful and optimistic about their life
B. they are good at doing their schoolwork
C. they are easy to communicate with others
D. they eat much more fruit and vegetables a day
14. The underlined word “gloomy” in Paragraph 3 probably means “ ”.
A. wealthy B. generous
C. happy D. upset
15. What can be the best title for the text
A. The Way to Educate Kids B. The Secret of Being Wealthier
C. How to Achieve Your Goal D. The Source of Happiness
【答案】12. C 13. A 14. D 15. B
【解析】
【导语】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】
细节理解题。根据第二段“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.(这项研究对数千名青少年进行了调查，发现那些年轻时对生活感觉更好的人，到29岁时往往收入更高。最快乐的人比最沮丧的人平均多挣8000美元)”可知，研究得出的结论是快乐的青少年长大后往往更富有。故选C。
【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A。
【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，no matter how引导让步状语从家，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D。
【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，本文主要讲述了一项研究表明，快乐的人往往在长大后收入更高，快乐幸福是以后成功和富有的关键。由此可知，B项“变得更富有的秘密”适合作本文最佳标题。故选B。

During my elementary school years, I used to compare my mom with my best friend Tiffany’s mom.
Tiffany’s mom always gave her lots of money to buy the most fashionable clothes and favorite food. Her mom allowed her to do anything she liked. I really admired Tiffany. My mom didn’t give me much pocket money and she always told me that I should behave myself. I was annoyed with her.
Whenever I didn’t get what I wanted, I would complain to my mom, Tiffany’s mom would give her that! I wish she were my mom. Every time, my morn would calmly say “Poor Tiffany”. I couldn’t understand her. “She shouldn’t be feeling sorry for Tiffany!” I thought. “She should be feeling sorry for me.”
One day, I couldn’t help saying to Mom, “Poor Tiffany Lucky Tiffany! She gets everything she wants! Why do you feel sorry for her ” I burst into tears.
My mom sat down next to me and said softly. “Yes, I do feel sorry for her. I have been teaching you a lesson that she will never be taught.”
I looked up at her. “What are you talking about ”
Mom said with care, “One day she will really want something. Maybe she’ll find out that she can’t have it. Her mother won’t always be around to give her money, and what’s more, money can’t buy everything.”
She continued, “I have taught you valuable lessons by not giving you everything you want. You’ll know how to look for bargains and save money, but she won’t. You’ll understand that you need to work hard to get the things that you want but she won’t.

The United Arab Emirates (UAE) is mostly a desert. However, this has not stopped the country from creating great building projects. On September 26, UAE officials announced another ambitious project — Mars Science City. Expansive deserts and miles of coastline provide plenty of options for safe rocket launches (发射). And its position on the Earth makes it especially appealing as the spin of the Earth provides an extra push, meaning less fuel is needed to get payloads into orbit. All these seem to make it possible.
The Mars City Project, designed by Bjarke Ingels Group, or BIG, will provide a realistic model to simulate (模仿) living on the surface of Mars, the red planet. It is part of the UAE’s Mars 2117 Project to lead the global race to land humans on Mars and be the first to build a settlement there. Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid, Prime Minister and ruler of Dubai, says, “The UAE seeks international support to develop technologies that benefit humans, and lay the foundation of a better future for more generations to come.”
Built outside Dubai, the 1.9 million square feet city is expected to cost $135 million. It will consist of several dome-shaped laboratories, similar to the ones imagined for the first Mars settlers. Scientists from around the word will be invited to conduct research to come up with methods to create food, water and energy, using techniques which can be copied onto the red planet. The living spaces, where the researchers can live for up to a year, will simulate the planet’s conditions as much as possible.
The research city will also include a museum featuring famous space achievements to help educate and inspire children to undertake space exploration and discovery. To discover whether the construction method works on Mars, the museum’s walls will be 3D printed using the sand from the nearby desert. Now, if they would only add some living quarters for the general public to experience life on Mars without leaving Earth, life would be perfect.
8. What can we conclude about the United Arab Emirates
A. It is short of fine weather.
B. It is a nice place for launching.
C. It can provide adequate fuel supply.
D. It has the greatest architects in the world.
9. What will scientists do in the laboratories
A. Educate visitors on trips to Mars.
B. Develop the Mars settlers’ imagination.
C. Find ways to produce food, water and energy on Mars.
D. Create a climate-controlled environment for future use.
10. Why will the museum’s walls be 3D printed
A. To show famous space techniques.
B. To make full use of the nearby desert.
C. To inspire children to love exploration.
D. To test building skills used by Mars settlers.
11. What’s the best title for the text
A. UAE to Build Mars Science City
B. UAE’s Great Exploration of Mars
C. UAE to Build First Mars Settlement
D. UAE’s Scientistific Contribution to Humans

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.However, 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. Wealth has nothing to do with happiness at all.
B. Money can make people become happier.
C. Happy teenagers grow up to be wealthier.
D. Schoolwork can help teens achieve success.
13. The main reason why happier people have more chances to succeed is that .
A. they are hopeful and optimistic about their life
B. they are good at doing their schoolwork
C. they are easy to communicate with others
D. they eat much more fruit and vegetables a day
14. The underlined word “gloomy” in Paragraph 3 probably means “ ”.
A. wealthy B. generous
C. happy D. upset
15. What can be the best title for the text
A. The Way to Educate Kids B. The Secret of Being Wealthier
C. How to Achieve Your Goal D. The Source of Happiness
