Alexa von Tobel, a successful entrepreneur(企业家), learned an important lesson during her time at Harvard University: Money alone doesn’t bring happiness. Despite achieving financial(财务的) success by selling her startup for millions of dollars, Alexa believes that true happiness comes from things that money can’t buy.
During her undergraduate studies in psychology, Alexa had the opportunity to study at Harvard’s Leadership and Happiness Laboratory, also known as the “Happiness Lab”. This experience gave her a new understanding on what truly brings happiness. She discovered that it’s the simple routines and daily actions that create a sense of community and connection, rather than material wealth.
Alexa’s mindset(思维模式) still influences her work. She believes that finding happiness is more important than just making money. Alexa thinks it’s important to take pride in the process of building a company, rather than only focus ing on the financial outcomes.
She applies this attitude to her personal life as well. Alexa and her husband value celebrating the journey rather than just the end results, even when it comes to raising their kids.
While at Harvard, Alexa was greatly inspired by Tal Ben-Shahar and Shawn Achor, who taught a popular course on “Positive Psychology”. This field emphasizes finding joy and satisfaction by connecting with others, being grateful, and having a positive mindset.
For Alexa, the lessons from her time at Harvard still remind her to focus on whatever brings her joy in her life, rather than obsessing over money or materials. “The daily effort drives happiness, not the outcome,” she says.
4. When did Alexa have a new understanding of happiness
A. After she graduated from college.
B. After she married her husband.
C. When she studied at Harvard.
D. When she was 30 years old.
5. What is the mindset in Alexa’s family
A. The result isn’t important at all.
B. The richer you are, the happier you are.
C. The more successful you are, the happier you are.
D. The process is more important than the outcome.
6. Who inspired Alexa greatly at Harvard
A. Her psychology teacher. B. Her literature teacher.
C. Her physics teacher. D. Her PE teacher.
7. What does the under lined phrase“obsessing over”probably mean in the last paragraph
A. Referring to. B. Caring about.
C. Getting along with. D. Taking over.
C
Due to the heavy academic pressure and safety issues, our children’s movements are limited by a lack of extra-curricular activities, which usually ensure that they meet the daily recommended level of physical activity.
For those children attending a high school, my own included, the morning and afternoon walk could be the only chance that they get to spend time outside. This is a golden opportunity to add sports into their day, without taking part in group sports or going to a closed indoor gym(健身房).
For walking to school, there are also many other benefits, such as improving school performance, reducing anxiety, improving spirits, better sleep, a sense of independence,opportunities to meet friends or think alone, paying attention to small details and being amazed by the surrounding environment.
However, parents still have fears. Parents fear cars, injury, extreme weather and even wild animals. These fears, many of which are almost impossible to happen, prevent parents from allowing their children to do something that’s actually beneficial to them. “Removing an opportunity to be active leads to an increase in childhood obesity(肥胖), which can have a greater negative impact on a child’s life than the risk of being injured due to being active,” saidDr. Mariana Brussoni, a professor who researches children’s outdoor and risky play.
When it comes to changing the culture around parents driving children to school, much work still needs to be done. Therefore, parents should try to let go slowly and give up the idea that driving their children to school is convenient. Brussoni said, “We hope to shift parents from focusing on protecting their children to trusting their independent abilities.Schools can also play a role in encouraging children to walk to school.”
8. Who is the text most probably written to
A. Professors. B. Parents. C. Teachers. D. Grandparents.
9. What is parents’ worry about children’s walking to school
A. Children’s school performance. B. Children’s physical health.
C. Children’s men tal health. D. Children’s safety.
10. What’s the author’s attitude towards driving children to school
A. Unclear. B. Unconcerned. C. Doubtful. D. Negative.
11. What’s the main idea of this text
A. Walking to school is beneficial to students.
B. Children prefer to go to school on foot.
C. Parents worry about their children ‘s obesity.
D. It’s too dangerous for children to walk to school.
D
On an ordinary fossil-hunting (化石搜寻) outing, the members of the Hamilton Junior Naturalist Club might expect to find a few interesting shells (壳). But on a 2006 trip to Kawhia Harbour in New Zealand’s North Island, the students discovered the bones of a fossilized huge penguin (企鹅).
“We were expecting to find common fossils — shells, but were hugely shocked to find a huge animal skeleton (骨架) just lying on the beach,” said Mike Safey, president of the club.“Our club’s fossil expert Chris Templer realised immediately that we had discovered something hugely important. We made the decision to rescue this fossil, otherwise it would have been completely destroyed by weather.”
Researchers from Massey University used 3D scanning to compare the fossils to digitalized bones from all over the world. The penguin fossil is between 27.3 and 34.6 million years old, according to Daniel Thomas, a senior lecturer in Massey’s School of Natural andComputational Sciences. It is similar to Kairuku penguins but with longer legs. Researchers named it “Kairuku waewaeroa” for this characteristic.
Around 1.4 meters tall, this penguin was much huger compared to living penguins. We know that body size can be an important factor when thinking about ecology. How and why did penguins become huge, and why aren’t there any huge penguins left Well-preserved fossils like Kairuku waewaeroa can help us answer these questions.
“The discovery is important for researchers, and it was also rewarding for the students who found it and encourages other young people to go out in nature and make their own discoveries. It reminds us that ancient New Zealand had many kinds of birds, and emphasizes how important New Zealand is for bird diversity today,” Thomas says.
12. Where is this text probably taken from
A. A science magazine. B. A health lecture.
C. A storybook. D. An advertisement.
13. What surprised the Hamilton Junior Naturalist Club
A. An interesting shell. B. A huge penguin.
C. A huge penguin fossil. D. A new kind of penguin.
14. What may Thomas agree with
A. Ancient New Zealand had various birds.
B. Teenagers should go out to find fossils.
C. Researchers should scan the bird carefully.
D. New Zealand has a number of huge penguins.
15. Which of the following is the best title for the text
A. New Zealand’s birds are in danger today
B. New Zealand is suitable for penguins to live in
C. School kids should go out for discoveries
D. The fossil of a huge penguin was found in New Zealand

Widower Adam single dad of 3, couldn’t imagine his kind help several days ago was rewarded (奖励) by a truck from the lady he helped.
It was seven in the morning. Adam was jogging in a local park. Adam had a strict schedule that started with this run. In 30 minutes, he would run back home, a place filled with chaos (混乱) in the morning, especially with getting Amanda, his naughty 13-year-old, and Jared, his energetic 8-year-old, ready for school. They missed their mom, Cynthia. Her death was a gap (缺口) that Adam couldn’t fill, no matter how hard he tried. She had been gone 6 years, yet the pain was all too fresh. Luckily his daughter at 22 could help cooking.
As he ran the last round, Adam took a deep breath. This park and these morning runs were his connection to Cynthia. She loved running, and he could almost see her jogging alongside him, her laughter ringing in his ears. It was peaceful. He checked his watch, quickening his pace. It was almost time to head back and dive into the last-minute school project panics.
Suddenly, in the middle of his thoughts, Adam saw something unusual. An old woman, probably around 60 or 65, was struggling up the park stairs. Just as she neared the top, she lost her footing. Adam watched in shock as she fell down, rolling awkwardly. Giving up his strict schedule, he rushed over.
“Ma’am, are you okay ” Adam asked, out of breath, as he carefully helped her sit up. She was a bit shaken, brushing dirt off her clothes, trying to calm down. “I’m fine, just a little fall,” she said in pain.
注意：
1.续写词数应为 150左右；

Alexa von Tobel, a successful entrepreneur(企业家), learned an important lesson during her time at Harvard University: Money alone doesn’t bring happiness. Despite achieving financial(财务的) success by selling her startup for millions of dollars, Alexa believes that true happiness comes from things that money can’t buy.
During her undergraduate studies in psychology, Alexa had the opportunity to study at Harvard’s Leadership and Happiness Laboratory, also known as the “Happiness Lab”. This experience gave her a new understanding on what truly brings happiness. She discovered that it’s the simple routines and daily actions that create a sense of community and connection, rather than material wealth.
Alexa’s mindset(思维模式) still influences her work. She believes that finding happiness is more important than just making money. Alexa thinks it’s important to take pride in the process of building a company, rather than only focus ing on the financial outcomes.
She applies this attitude to her personal life as well. Alexa and her husband value celebrating the journey rather than just the end results, even when it comes to raising their kids.
While at Harvard, Alexa was greatly inspired by Tal Ben-Shahar and Shawn Achor, who taught a popular course on “Positive Psychology”. This field emphasizes finding joy and satisfaction by connecting with others, being grateful, and having a positive mindset.
For Alexa, the lessons from her time at Harvard still remind her to focus on whatever brings her joy in her life, rather than obsessing over money or materials. “The daily effort drives happiness, not the outcome,” she says.
4. When did Alexa have a new understanding of happiness
A. After she graduated from college.
B. After she married her husband.
C. When she studied at Harvard.
D. When she was 30 years old.
5. What is the mindset in Alexa’s family
A. The result isn’t important at all.
B. The richer you are, the happier you are.
C. The more successful you are, the happier you are.
D. The process is more important than the outcome.
6. Who inspired Alexa greatly at Harvard
A. Her psychology teacher. B. Her literature teacher.
C. Her physics teacher. D. Her PE teacher.
7. What does the under lined phrase“obsessing over”probably mean in the last paragraph
A. Referring to. B. Caring about.
C. Getting along with. D. Taking over.
【答案】4. C 5. D 6. A 7. B
【解析】

细节理解题。根据第五段中的“While at Harvard, Alexa was greatly inspired by Tal Ben-Shahar and Shawn Achor, who taught a popular course on “Positive Psychology”. (在哈佛期间，Alexa深受Tal Ben-Shahar和Shawn Achor的启发，他们教授了一门受欢迎的“积极心理学”课程。)”可知，Alexa的心理学老师在哈佛给了她很大的启发。故选A。

Due to the heavy academic pressure and safety issues, our children’s movements are limited by a lack of extra-curricular activities, which usually ensure that they meet the daily recommended level of physical activity.
For those children attending a high school, my own included, the morning and afternoon walk could be the only chance that they get to spend time outside. This is a golden opportunity to add sports into their day, without taking part in group sports or going to a closed indoor gym(健身房).
For walking to school, there are also many other benefits, such as improving school performance, reducing anxiety, improving spirits, better sleep, a sense of independence,opportunities to meet friends or think alone, paying attention to small details and being amazed by the surrounding environment.
However, parents still have fears. Parents fear cars, injury, extreme weather and even wild animals. These fears, many of which are almost impossible to happen, prevent parents from allowing their children to do something that’s actually beneficial to them. “Removing an opportunity to be active leads to an increase in childhood obesity(肥胖), which can have a greater negative impact on a child’s life than the risk of being injured due to being active,” saidDr. Mariana Brussoni, a professor who researches children’s outdoor and risky play.
When it comes to changing the culture around parents driving children to school, much work still needs to be done. Therefore, parents should try to let go slowly and give up the idea that driving their children to school is convenient. Brussoni said, “We hope to shift parents from focusing on protecting their children to trusting their independent abilities.Schools can also play a role in encouraging children to walk to school.”
8. Who is the text most probably written to

9. What is parents’ worry about children’s walking to school

On an ordinary fossil-hunting (化石搜寻) outing, the members of the Hamilton Junior Naturalist Club might expect to find a few interesting shells (壳). But on a 2006 trip to Kawhia Harbour in New Zealand’s North Island, the students discovered the bones of a fossilized huge penguin (企鹅).
“We were expecting to find common fossils — shells, but were hugely shocked to find a huge animal skeleton (骨架) just lying on the beach,” said Mike Safey, president of the club.“Our club’s fossil expert Chris Templer realised immediately that we had discovered something hugely important. We made the decision to rescue this fossil, otherwise it would have been completely destroyed by weather.”
Researchers from Massey University used 3D scanning to compare the fossils to digitalized bones from all over the world. The penguin fossil is between 27.3 and 34.6 million years old according to Daniel Thomas, a senior lecturer in Massey’s School of Natural andComputational Sciences. It is similar to Kairuku penguins but with longer legs. Researchers named it “Kairuku waewaeroa” for this characteristic.
Around 1.4 meters tall, this penguin was much huger compared to living penguins. We know that body size can be an important factor when thinking about ecology. How and why did penguins become huge, and why aren’t there any huge penguins left Well-preserved fossils like Kairuku waewaeroa can help us answer these questions.
“The discovery is important for researchers, and it was also rewarding for the students who found it and encourages other young people to go out in nature and make their own discoveries. It reminds us that ancient New Zealand had many kinds of birds, and emphasizes how important New Zealand is for bird diversity today,” Thomas says.
12. Where is this text probably taken from
A. A science magazine. B. A health lecture.
C. A storybook. D. An advertisement.
13. What surprised the Hamilton Junior Naturalist Club
A. An interesting shell. B. A huge penguin.
C. A huge penguin fossil. D. A new kind of penguin.
14. What may Thomas agree with
A. Ancient New Zealand had various birds.
B. Teenagers should go out to find fossils.
C. Researchers should scan the bird carefully.
D. New Zealand has a number of huge penguins.
15. Which of the following is the best title for the text
A. New Zealand’s birds are in danger today
B. New Zealand is suitable for penguins to live in
C. School kids should go out for discoveries
D. The fossil of a huge penguin was found in New Zealand

As an English learner, I have a plan to learn English better in high school. Firstly, I will make use of every opportunity to speak English.

47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Widower Adam, single dad of 3, couldn’t imagine his kind help several days ago was rewarded (奖励) by a truck from the lady he helped.
It was seven in the morning. Adam was jogging in a local park. Adam had a strict schedule that started with this run. In 30 minutes, he would run back home, a place filled with chaos (混乱) in the morning, especially with getting Amanda, his naughty 13-year-old, and Jared, his energetic 8-year-old, ready for school. They missed their mom, Cynthia. Her death was a gap (缺口) that Adam couldn’t fill, no matter how hard he tried. She had been gone 6 years, yet the pain was all too fresh. Luckily his daughter at 22 could help cooking.
As he ran the last round, Adam took a deep breath. This park and these morning runs were his connection to Cynthia. She loved running, and he could almost see her jogging alongside him, her laughter ringing in his ears. It was peaceful. He checked his watch, quickening his pace. It was almost time to head back and dive into the last-minute school project panics.
Suddenly, in the middle of his thoughts, Adam saw something unusual. An old woman, probably around 60 or 65, was struggling up the park stairs. Just as she neared the top, she lost her footing. Adam watched in shock as she fell down, rolling awkwardly. Giving up his strict schedule, he rushed over.
“Ma’am, are you okay ” Adam asked, out of breath, as he carefully helped her sit up. She was a bit shaken, brushing dirt off her clothes, trying to calm down. “I’m fine, just a little fall,” she said in pain.
注意：
1.续写词数应为 150左右；
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Adam knew she wasn’t as fine as she said.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Several days later, a truck left by the old woman’s husband arrived at his house.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
Adam knew she wasn’t as fine as she said. He offered to call an ambulance immediately, thinking it was a big fall, but she refused, trying to stand but obviously hurting. Adam couldn’t just leave her, offering to walk her home. She looked hesitant but finally agreed, realizing she needed the support, Adam carefully helped her up, and they began to walk slowly, chatting. They knew something about each other. She’d recently lost her husband, who left her a truck with which her husband once made a living. The old woman knew that his wife died 6 years ago, leaving him three kids to raise on his own.
Several days later, a truck left by the old woman’s husband arrived at his house. Seeing Adam, the old woman said firmly and kindly, “Every day is a new challenge. I’d love to send the truck to you for your kids, a little thank-you, perhaps it is useful for you but not me.” Adam had no choice but to accept it. At the same time, he invited her to live with them to take care of her and she agreed happily. He thought it was the right thing to do. He hoped someone else would do the same for his family if they ever needed it.
