I began working in journalism when I was eight. It was my mother’s idea. She wanted me to “make something” of myself, and decided I had better start young if I was to have any chance of keeping up with the competition.
With my load of magazines I headed toward Belleville Avenue. The crowds were there. There were two gas stations on the corner of Belleville and Union. For several hours I made myself highly visible, making sure everyone could see me and the heavy black letters on the bag that said THE SATURDAY EVENING POST. When it was suppertime, I walked back home.
“How many did you sell, my boy ” my mother asked.
“None.”
“Where did you go ”
“The corner of Belleville and Union Avenues.”
“What did you do ”
“Stood on the corner waiting for somebody to buy a Saturday Evening Post.”
“You just stood there ”
“Didn’t sell a single one.”
“My God, Russell!”
Uncle Allen put in, “Well, I’ve decided to take the Post.” I handed him a copy and he paid me a nickel(五分镍币). It was the first nickel I earned.
Afterwards my mother taught me how to be a salesman. I would have to ring doorbells, address adults with self-confidence, and persuade them by saying that no one, no matter how poor, could afford to be without the Saturday Evening Post in the home.
One day, I told my mother I’d changed my mind. I didn’t want to make a success in the magazine business.
“If you think you can change your mind like this,” she replied, “you’ll become a good-for-nothing.” She insisted that, as soon as school was over, I should start ringing doorbells, selling magazines. Whenever I said no, she would scold me.
My mother and I had fought this battle almost as long as I could remember. My mother, dissatisfied with my father’s plain workman’s life, determined that I would not grow up like him and his people. But never did she expect that, forty years later, such a successful journalist as me would go back to her husband’s people for true life and love.
41. Why did the boy start his job young
A. He wanted to be famous in the future.
B. The job was quite easy for him.
C. His mother had high hopes for him.
D. The competition for the job was fierce.
42. From the dialogue between the boy and his mother, we learn that the mother was _______.
A. excited
B. interested
C. ashamed
D. disappointed
43. What did the mother do when the boy wanted to give up
A. She forced him to continue.
B. She punished him.
C. She gave him some money.
D. She changed her plan.
44. What does the underlined phrase “this battle”(last paragraph) refer to
A. The war between the boy’s parents.
B. The arguing between the boy and his mother.
C. The quarrel between the boy and his customers.
D. The fight between the boy and his father.
45. What is the text mainly about
A. The early life of a journalist.

C. The happy childhood of the writer.
D The important role of the writer in his family.

Contrary to advertisements seen on television, read in magazines, or heard on the radio, spending a lot of money on a gift for a friend or loved one is totally unnecessary. Many people collect photos or mementos (纪念品) from special events, trips, or celebrations throughout their lives, throwing them in a drawer or cardboard box somewhere, intending to sort them out later. It seems, though that “later” never comes. So, the next time you’re ready to buy a silk scarf or pair of leather gloves for that special someone, consider sorting through that junk drawer filled with mementos and special photos.
For example, you can decorate an inexpensive picture frame with colorful buttons for your mother who is interested in sewing, or use tiny machine parts for your workshop-crazed brother. Inserting a special photo of you and that certain someone will create a gift that will be treasured forever. Shadow boxes are a wonderful way to display several objects from a single special event, such as a wedding. Take the original wedding invitation, a dried flower from the table centerpiece, or anything else that you can gather from the wedding, and display them in the box.
When you have many photos and mementos, make a photo album or scrapbook (剪贴簿) for a friend or family member. Today, the options for decorating your book are nearly endless. Entering a scrapbooking store can make your head spin. If this happens to you on your first scrapbooking visit, consider taking an introductory class, which many stores offer. Of course, you will have a much better idea of which scrapbook supplies to buy when the class ends.
Pictures or books that can be enjoyed over and over again are one-of-a-kind, original gifts. There is nothing like receiving a gift that comes straight from the heart. Such gifts help people recall happy times and strengthen the bond between the giver and the receiver.
46. What is the author’s attitude to gift advertisements
A. Tolerant. B. Doubtful. C. Uncaring. D. Disapproving.
47. By saying the underlined words in Paragraph 1, the author means that people often ________.
A. spend time collecting photos B. overlook their photos or mementos
C. miss special events, trips or celebrations D. forget to clean their drawer or cardboard box
48. According to Paragraph 2, shadow boxes ________.
A. are more expensive than picture frames B. are usually made of cheap materials
C. can be used to show mementos D. can be a precious wedding gift
49. The introductory class mentioned in Paragraph 3 will help you learn how to ________.
A. take beautiful pictures B. decorate your scrapbook
C. start a scrapbooking store D. write a book on scrapbooking
50. Which would be the best title for the text
A. A gift from the heart B. A special photo album
C. The first scrapbooking visit D. The treasured shadow boxes
D
There are two types of people in the world. Although they have equal degree of health, 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, persons, events and the resulting effects upon their minds.
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, offend many people, and make themselves disagreeable everywhere. If this turn of mind was founded in nature, such unhappy persons would be the more to be pitied. The intention of criticizing and being disliked is perhaps taken up by imitation. It grows into n habit, unknown to its possessors. The habit may be strong, but it may be cured when those who have it realize it had 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 the imagination, it has serious results in life since it brings on deep sorrow and bad luck. Those people offend many others; nobody loves them, and no one treats them with more than the most common politeness and respect. This frequently puts them in 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, step or speak a word to favor their hopes. If they bring on themselves public objections, no one will defend or excuse them, and many will join to criticize their wrong doings. These 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.
51. People who are unhappy .
A. always consider things differently from others
B. usually are affected by the results of certain things
C. usually misunderstand what others think or say
D. always discover the unpleasant side of certain things
52. The phrase “sour the pleasure of society” most nearly means “ “.
A. have a good taste with social life
B. make others unhappy
C. tend to scold others openly
D. enjoy the pleasure of life
53. We can conclude from the passage that .
A. we should pity all such unhappy people
B. such unhappy people are dangerous to social life
C. people can get rid of the habit of unhappiness
D. unhappy people cannot understand happy persons
54. If such unhappy persons insist on keeping the habit, the author suggests that people should .
A prevent any communication with them
B. show no respect and politeness to them
C. persuade them to recognize the bad effects
D. quarrel with them until they realize the mistakes
55. In this passage, the writer mainly .
A. describes two types of people in our 1ife who have negative effect on others
B. give some examples to laugh at the unhappy people in our society
C. suggests the unhappy people should get rid of the habits of unhappiness
D. tells people get away from unhappy people and how to be happy in life

第三部分: 写作(共二节, 满分35分)
第一节阅读表达(共5小题; 每小题2分, 满分10分)
阅读下面短文, 并根据短文内容完成下列各题。
Science has a lot of uses. It can uncover laws of nature, cure diseases, make bombs, and help bridges to stand up. Indeed science is so good’ at what it does that there’s always a temptation (诱惑) to drag it into problems where it may not be helpful. David Brooks, author of The Social Animal: The Hidden Sources of Love, Character, and Achievement, appears to be the latest in a long line of writers who have failed to resist the temptation.
Brooks gained fame for several books. His latest book The Social Animal, however, is more ambitious and serious than his earlier books. It is an attempt to deal with a set of weighty topics. The book focuses on big questions: What has science revealed about human nature What are the sources of character And why are some people happy and successful while others aren’t
To answer these questions, Brooks surveys a wide range of disciplines (学科). Considering this, you might expect the book to be a dry recitation(背诵)of facts. But Brooks has structured his book in an unorthodox (非常规的), and perhaps unfortunate, way. Instead of introducing scientific theories, he tells a story, within which he tries to make his points, perhaps in order to keep the reader’s attention. So as Harold and Erica, the hero and heroine in his story, live through childhood, we hear about the science of child development and as they begin to date we hear about the theory of sexual attraction. Brooks carries this through to the death of one of his characters.
On the whole, Brooks’ story is acceptable if uninspired. As one would expect, his writing is mostly clear and, to be fair, some chapters stand out above the rest. I enjoyed, for instance, the chapter in which Harold discovers how to think on his own. While Harold and Erica are certainly not strong or memorable characters, the more serious problems with The Social Animal lie elsewhere. These problems partly involve Brooks’ attempt to translate his tale into science.
56. What is the main idea of paragraph 2 (no more than 10 words)
_________________________________________________________________
57. Why does Brook use a story to introduce scientific theories ( no more than 15words)
_________________________________________________________________
58. According to The Social Animal, how can we learn about the science of child development (no more than 10 words)
_________________________________________________________________
59. Please explain the underlined word ”weighty" in English.(no more than 1 word)
_________________________________________________________________
60. Do you like Brooks’ way of dealing with science in The Social Animal Why (no more than 20 words)

1. 关系代词所代替的先行词是表示人或物的名词或代词，并在从句中充当主语、宾语、定语等成分。关系副词可代替的先行词是表示时间、地点或理由等的名词，在从句中作状语。
例如：An architect is a person who / that designs houses and buildings.
The city where / in which I was born is on the new railway line.
2. 关系代词在定语从句中作主语时，从句谓语动词的人称和数要和先行词保持一致。注意：关系代词在定语从句中作宾语时，可省略（非限制性定语从句中不可省略）。
例如：I find it difficult to cooperate with those who always stick to their own opinions.
I find it difficult to cooperate with the one who always sticks to his own opinion.
The suit (which / that) the tailor made for me doesn’t fit me.
3. 非限制性定语从句中，关系词均不可省略。注意关系代词that和关系副词why不可用于非限制性定语从句。
4. 作介词宾语的关系代词
在限制和非限制性定语从句中，关系代词作介词的宾语，即“介词+关系代词whom/which”，whom用于指人，which用于指物，不能用that。
例如：The man with whom you shook hands just now is head of our department.
Mrs. Nye, with whom you shook hands just now, is head of our department.
The room in which my family live used to be a garage.
9. After hearing an earthquake happen in his hometown, the young man decided to_____________ ninety percent of his salary to Red Cross Society of China.

A. as long as B. as if
C. even though D. in case

13. (2016·北京)______ over a week ago, the books are expected to arrive any time now.
A. Ordering B. To order
C. Having ordered D. Ordered
【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：(因为)那些书是一周多之前订的，现在随时有可能送到。books和order是动宾关系，即order the books/the books are ordered，故用过去分词表示被动和完成，在此相当于原因状语从句because they were ordered...，故选D。
【点睛】分词作状语
1. 分词作时间状语相当于when引导的时间状语从句；on doing sth. ="as" soon as sb. does sth.。
2. 分词作原因状语相当于as，since，because引导的原因状语从句。
3. 分词作方式或伴随状语不能用状语从句替换，但是可以改写成并列句。

【详解】考查情态动词。句意：我喜欢周末，因为周六和周日我不需要早起。A. needn’t不需要；B. mustn’t禁止；C. wouldn’t不愿；D. shouldn’t不应该。根据常识及前一句I love the weekend可知，周六、周日不用早起，故选A。
【点睛】常用的情态动词有can，may，must，need。
1. can 的用法：
(1)表示能力 “能，会” 例如：He can speak a little Japanese.他会说一点日语。
(2)表示请求或许可 “可以” 例如：Can I help you 要我帮忙吗
(3)表示猜测 “可能” 例如：Where can she go now 她可能到哪里去了呢
2. may 的用法：
(1)表示请求或允许 “可以”“准许” 例如：May I go home, please
(2)表示可能性 “可能”也许” 例如：I think it may rain this afternoon.
注：might为may的过去式，但也可以代替may，语气较为婉转客气或更加不肯定。
例如：He might not come today. (语气不肯定)
You might also get a headache when you work too hard.
3. must的用法：
(1)表示义务、必要或命令 “必须、应该” 例如：You must come early tomorrow.

情态动词表“需要”，没有人称、数之变。 其后直接加动原，多用疑问与否定。
15. （2017·天津）Nowadays, cycling, along with jogging and swimming, ___________ as one of the best all-round forms of exercise.
A. regard B. is regarded
C. are regarded D. regards
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】考查被动语态和主谓一致。句意：现在骑自行车，慢跑和游泳被认为是最全面的锻炼方式之一。根据动词短语regard…as…“把……看作……”和句意确定应该用被动语态，排除A和D。再根据主语部分是由介词短语along with 连接的三个动名词做主语，应该谓语动词应该就前一致，即用单数，排除C，故选B。
【点睛】本题考查方向涉及到动词的语态和主谓一致，首先要把握句意，判断主谓之间是主动还是被动关系，再者就是考查学生的考虑是否全面，即加之判断谓语动词的单复数，考查了学生对主谓一致中就前一致的把握。

B
I began working in journalism when I was eight. It was my mother’s idea. She wanted me to “make something” of myself, and decided I had better start young if I was to have any chance of keeping up with the competition.
With my load of magazines I headed toward Belleville Avenue. The crowds were there. There were two gas stations on the corner of Belleville and Union. For several hours I made myself highly visible, making sure everyone could see me and the heavy black letters on the bag that said THE SATURDAY EVENING POST. When it was suppertime, I walked back home.
“How many did you sell, my boy ” my mother asked.
“None”
“Where did you go ”
“The corner of Belleville and Union Avenues.”
“What did you do ”
“Stood on the corner waiting for somebody to buy a Saturday Evening Post.”
“You just stood there ”
“Didn’t sell a single one.”
“My God Russell!”
Uncle Allen put in, “Well, I’ve decided to take the Post.” I handed him a copy and he paid me a nickel(五分镍币). It was the first nickel I earned.
Afterwards my mother taught me how to be a salesman. I would have to ring doorbells, address adults with self-confidence, and persuade them by saying that no one, no matter how poor, could afford to be without the Saturday Evening Post in the home.
One day, I told my mother I’d changed my mind. I didn’t want to make a success in the magazine business.
“If you think you can change your mind like this,” she replied, “you’ll become a good-for-nothing.” She insisted that, as soon as school was over, I should start ringing doorbells, selling magazines. Whenever I said no, she would scold me.
My mother and I had fought this battle almost as long as I could remember. My mother, dissatisfied with my father’s plain workman’s life, determined that I would not grow up like him and his people. But never did she expect that, forty years later, such a successful journalist as me would go back to her husband’s people for true life and love.
41. Why did the boy start his job young

D. The competition for the job was fierce.

A. excited

C. ashamed
D. disappointed
43. What did the mother do when the boy wanted to give up
A. She forced him to continue.
B. She punished him.
C. She gave him some money.
D. She changed her plan.

Contrary to advertisements seen on television, read in magazines, or heard on the radio, spending a lot of money on a gift for a friend or loved one is totally unnecessary. Many people collect photos or mementos (纪念品) from special events, trips, or celebrations throughout their lives, throwing them in a drawer or cardboard box somewhere, intending to sort them out later. It seems, though that “later” never comes. So, the next time you’re ready to buy a silk scarf or pair of leather gloves for that special someone, consider sorting through that junk drawer filled with mementos and special photos.
For example, you can decorate an inexpensive picture frame with colorful buttons for your mother who is interested in sewing, or use tiny machine parts for your workshop-crazed brother. Inserting a special photo of you and that certain someone will create a gift that will be treasured forever. Shadow boxes are a wonderful way to display several objects from a single special event, such as a wedding. Take the original wedding invitation, a dried flower from the table centerpiece, or anything else that you can gather from the wedding, and display them in the box.
When you have many photos and mementos, make a photo album or scrapbook (剪贴簿) for a friend or family member. Today, the options for decorating your book are nearly endless. Entering a scrapbooking store can make your head spin. If this happens to you on your first scrapbooking visit, consider taking an introductory class, which many stores offer. Of course, you will have a much better idea of which scrapbook supplies to buy when the class ends.
Pictures or books that can be enjoyed over and over again are one-of-a-kind, original gifts. There is nothing like receiving a gift that comes straight from the heart. Such gifts help people recall happy times and strengthen the bond between the giver and the receiver.
46. What is the author’s attitude to gift advertisements
A. Tolerant. B. Doubtful. C. Uncaring. D. Disapproving.
47. By saying the underlined words in Paragraph 1, the author means that people often ________.
A. spend time collecting photos B. overlook their photos or mementos
C. miss special events, trips or celebrations D. forget to clean their drawer or cardboard box
48. According to Paragraph 2, shadow boxes ________.
A. are more expensive than picture frames B. are usually made of cheap materials
C. can be used to show mementos D. can be a precious wedding gift
49. The introductory class mentioned in Paragraph 3 will help you learn how to ________.
A. take beautiful pictures B. decorate your scrapbook
C. start a scrapbooking store D. write a book on scrapbooking
50. Which would be the best title for the text
A. A gift from the heart B. A special photo album
C. The first scrapbooking visit D. The treasured shadow boxes
【答案】46. D 47. B 48. C 49. B 50. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了人们总是忽略掉他们的照片或纪念品，对此作者提出了一些用来整理和收纳纪念品的建议。
【46题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“Contrary to advertisements seen on television, read in magazines, or heard on the radio, spending a lot of money on a gift for a friend or loved one is totally unnecessary.(与在电视、杂志或广播中看到的广告相反，花很多钱给朋友或爱人买礼物是完全没有必要的)”可推知，作者对礼品广告的态度是不支持。故选D。
【47题详解】
句意猜测题。根据第一段“Many people collect photos or mementos (纪念品) from special events, trips, or celebrations throughout their lives, throwing them in a drawer or cardboard box somewhere, intending to sort them out later.(许多人在一生中收集特殊事件、旅行或庆祝活动的照片或纪念品，把它们扔进抽屉或纸板箱里，打算以后整理)”以及“So, the next time you’re ready to buy a silk scarf or pair of leather gloves for that special someone, consider sorting through that junk drawer filled with mementos and special photos.(所以，下次你准备为那个特别的人买丝巾或皮手套时，考虑一下在装满纪念品和特别照片的抽屉里分类)”可推知，许多人口头上说着要整理照片或纪念品，实际上经常忽略他们的照片或纪念品，所以作者提出了另一个建议：考虑一下在装满纪念品和特别照片的抽屉里分类。即第一段中下划线的意思是“人们经常忽略他们的照片或纪念品”。故选B。
【48题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Shadow boxes are a wonderful way to display several objects from a single special event, such as a wedding. Take the original wedding invitation, a dried flower from the table centerpiece, or anything else that you can gather from the wedding, and display them in the box.(陈列框是一种很好的方式来展示来自一个特殊事件的几件物品，比如婚礼。把原来的婚礼请柬，桌子中央的一朵干花，或者任何你从婚礼上收集到的东西，放在盒子里展示)”可知，陈列框可以用来展示纪念品。故选C。
【49题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“If this happens to you on your first scrapbooking visit, consider taking an introductory class, which many stores offer. Of course, you will have a much better idea of which scrapbook supplies to buy when the class ends.(如果这种情况发生在你第一次去剪贴簿店的时候，可以考虑参加一个入门课程，很多剪贴簿店都提供这个课程。当然，当课程结束时，你会对购买哪些剪贴簿用品有更好的想法)”可知，第3段提到的入门课程将帮助你学习如何装饰你的剪贴簿。故选B。
【50题详解】
主旨大意题。根据最后一段“Pictures or books that can be enjoyed over and over again are one-of-a-kind, original gifts. There is nothing like receiving a gift that comes straight from the heart. Such gifts help people recall happy times and strengthen the bond between the giver and the receiver.(可以一遍又一遍地欣赏的图片或书籍是独一无二的原创礼物。没有什么比收到一份发自内心的礼物更好的了。这样的礼物可以帮助人们回忆起快乐的时光，并加强送礼者和受礼者之间的联系)”结合文章主要说明了人们总是忽略掉他们的照片或纪念品，对此作者提出了一些用来整理和收纳纪念品的建议。可知，A选项“发自内心的礼物”最符合文章标题。故选A。
D
There are two types of people in the world. Although they have equal degree of health, 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, persons, events and the resulting effects upon their minds.
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, offend many people, and make themselves disagreeable everywhere. If this turn of mind was founded in nature, such unhappy persons would be the more to be pitied. The intention of criticizing and being disliked is perhaps taken up by imitation. It grows into n habit, unknown to its possessors. The habit may be strong, but it may be cured when those who have it realize it had 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 the imagination, it has serious results in life since it brings on deep sorrow and bad luck. Those people offend many others; nobody loves them, and no one treats them with more than the most common politeness and respect. This frequently puts them in 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, step or speak a word to favor their hopes. If they bring on themselves public objections, no one will defend or excuse them, and many will join to criticize their wrong doings. These 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.
51. People who are unhappy .
A. always consider things differently from others
B. usually are affected by the results of certain things
C. usually misunderstand what others think or say
D. always discover the unpleasant side of certain things
52. The phrase “sour the pleasure of society” most nearly means “ “.
A. have a good taste with social life
B. make others unhappy
C. tend to scold others openly
D. enjoy the pleasure of life
53. We can conclude from the passage that .
A. we should pity all such unhappy people
B. such unhappy people are dangerous to social life
C. people can get rid of the habit of unhappiness
D. unhappy people cannot understand happy persons
54. If such unhappy persons insist on keeping the habit, the author suggests that people should .
A. prevent any communication with them
B. show no respect and politeness to them
C. persuade them to recognize the bad effects
D. quarrel with them until they realize the mistakes
55. In this passage, the writer mainly .
A. describes two types of people in our 1ife who have negative effect on others
B. give some examples to laugh at the unhappy people in our society
C. suggests the unhappy people should get rid of the habits of unhappiness
D. tells people get away from unhappy people and how to be happy in life
【答案】51. D 52. B 53. C 54. A 55. C
【解析】
【分析】本文是议论文。文章对快乐的和不快乐的人进行对比，他们的相同处和不同处，作者还给了不快乐的人提出了建议：如何保持快乐的心情。
【51题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“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.”可知，快乐的人会把注意力集中在事物的便利上：谈话中令人愉快的部分，精心准备的菜肴，美酒和晴朗的天气。他们享受一切愉快的事情。那些不快乐的人想的和说的都是相反的事情。由此可知，不快乐的人总能发现某些事情不快乐的一面。故选D项。
【52题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线短语后面的“offend many people, and make themselves disagreeable everywhere.”可知，那些人得罪许多人，使自己到处惹人讨厌。由此推知，划线词组的意思是让别人不开心。故选B项。
【53题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“The habit may be strong, but it may be cured when those who have it realize it had effects on their interests and tastes.”可知，这种习惯可能很强烈，但当有这种习惯的人意识到它对他们的兴趣和品味有影响时，这种习惯可能会被治愈。由此推知，人们可以摆脱不快乐的习惯。故选C项。
【54题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“If they do not, it will be good for others to avoid any contact with them.”可知，如果他们不这样做，其他人最好避免与他们接触。由此推知，如果这些不快乐的人坚持保持这种习惯，作者建议人们应该避免与他们的任何交流。故选A项。
【55题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是最后一段“These 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. (这些人应该改变这种坏习惯，对令人愉快的事情感到高兴，而不是不必要地担心自己和他人。如果他们不这样做，其他人最好避免与他们接触)”可知，本文主要讲的是那些感觉不幸福的人处处冒犯别人，若长期以往，则只能处于被孤立的境地，所以他们应该改变自己的习惯。由此可知，在这篇文章中，作者主要建议不快乐的人应该改掉不快乐的习惯。故选C项。

第三部分: 写作(共二节, 满分35分)
第一节阅读表达(共5小题; 每小题2分, 满分10分)
阅读下面短文, 并根据短文内容完成下列各题。
Science has a lot of uses. It can uncover laws of nature, cure diseases, make bombs, and help bridges to stand up. Indeed science is so good’ at what it does that there’s always a temptation (诱惑) to drag it into problems where it may not be helpful. David Brooks, author of The Social Animal: The Hidden Sources of Love, Character, and Achievement, appears to be the latest in a long line of writers who have failed to resist the temptation.
Brooks gained fame for several books. His latest book The Social Animal, however, is more ambitious and serious than his earlier books. It is an attempt to deal with a set of weighty topics. The book focuses on big questions: What has science revealed about human nature What are the sources of character And why are some people happy and successful while others aren’t
To answer these questions, Brooks surveys a wide range of disciplines (学科). Considering this, you might expect the book to be a dry recitation(背诵)of facts. But Brooks has structured his book in an unorthodox (非常规的), and perhaps unfortunate, way. Instead of introducing scientific theories, he tells a story, within which he tries to make his points, perhaps in order to keep the reader’s attention. So as Harold and Erica, the hero and heroine in his story, live through childhood, we hear about the science of child development and as they begin to date we hear about the theory of sexual attraction. Brooks carries this through to the death of one of his characters.
On the whole, Brooks’ story is acceptable if uninspired. As one would expect, his writing is mostly clear and, to be fair, some chapters stand out above the rest. I enjoyed, for instance, the chapter in which Harold discovers how to think on his own. While Harold and Erica are certainly not strong or memorable characters, the more serious problems with The Social Animal lie elsewhere. These problems partly involve Brooks’ attempt to translate his tale into science.
56. What is the main idea of paragraph 2 (no more than 10 words)
_________________________________________________________________
57. Why does Brook use a story to introduce scientific theories ( no more than 15words)
_________________________________________________________________
58. According to The Social Animal, how can we learn about the science of child development (no more than 10 words)
_________________________________________________________________
59. Please explain the underlined word ”weighty" in English.(no more than 1 word)
_________________________________________________________________
60. Do you like Brooks’ way of dealing with science in The Social Animal Why (no more than 20 words)
_________________________________________________________________
【答案】56. The purpose of writing The Social Animal.
Or: The main topics of the book.
Or: The weighty tops in “The Social Animal” written by Brooks.
57. Because he tries to make his points through the story or keep reader’s attention.
Or: To make his points and keep reader’s attention.
58 As Harold and Erica live through their childhood.
Or: By reading the story of Harold and Erica.
Or: By following the story of living through childhood.
59. Serious./Important./Significant./Great./Big./Crucial./Heavy.
60. Yes. I do. Because he introduces scientific theories through a story, which is much easier for people to understand.
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章先列举出科学的许多功能，接着指出科学有巨大的诱惑力，以致许多作家抵挡不住这种诱惑，在文学作品中运用到科学。并以Brooks的新书The social animal为例，批判地分析这本书的优势和不足。
【56题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第二段“Brooks gained fame for several books. His latest book The Social Animal, however, is more ambitious and serious than his earlier books. It is an attempt to deal with a set of weighty topics. The book focuses on big questions: What has science revealed about human nature What are the sources of character And why are some people happy and successful while others aren’t (布鲁克斯因几本书而出名。然而，他的最新著作《社会动物》比他早期的书更具野心和严肃性。这是一种处理一系列重大话题的尝试。这本书聚焦于重大问题：科学揭示了人性的哪些方面？性格的来源是什么？为什么有些人快乐成功，而另一些人则不然？)”可知，这本书探讨一些大问题，如：科学揭露什么人性；为何有人会成功？所以第二段大意为介绍该书的主题。故填The purpose of writing The Social Animal./Or: The main topics of the book./Or: The weighty tops in “The Social Animal”, written by Brooks.
【57题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“Instead of introducing scientific theories, he tells a story, within which he tries to make his points, perhaps in order to keep the reader’s attention.(他没有介绍科学理论，而是告诉了一个故事，在这个故事中，他试图表达自己的观点，也许是为了吸引读者的注意力。)”可知，在介绍科学理念时，通过讲一个故事目的是为了吸引读者的注意力。故填Because he tries to make his points through the story or keep reader’s attention./Or: To make his points and keep reader’s attention.
【58题详解】
细节理解题。由文章第三段“So as Harold and Erica, the hero and heroine in his story, live through childhood, we hear about the science of child development and as they begin to date we hear about the theory of sexual attraction. Brooks carries this through to the death of one of his characters.(因此，当故事中的男女主人公Harold和Erica度过童年时，我们听到了儿童发展的科学，当他们开始约会时，我们也听到了性吸引力的理论。布鲁克斯将这一点贯穿到他的一个角色的死亡。)”可知，Harold和 Erica是书里的男女主人公，通过他们一起经历过童年时光，我们了解了儿童成长的科学规律。故填As Harold and Erica live through their childhood./Or: By reading the story of Harold and Erica./Or: By following the story of living through childhood.
【59题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第二段“The book focuses on big questions(这本书聚焦于大问题)”可知，该书涉及的都是大的问题，所以“It is an attempt to deal with a set of weighty topics(这是一种处理一系列 话题的尝试)”中的weighty是“重要的，关键的”意思。故填Serious./Important./Significant./Great./Big./Crucial./Heavy.
【60题详解】
开放性试题，言之有理即可。其中参考答案可为：是的，我喜欢，因为他通过一个故事介绍科学理论，让人们更容易理解。故填Yes. I do. Because he introduces scientific theories through a story, which is much easier for people to understand.
