THE BLUE BIRD
ACT Ⅳ
[1] Tyltyl and Mytyl have been searching for① the Blue Bird in the Land of Memory, the Palace of Night and the Forest. Now, they have arrived at the Palace of Happiness.
[1]本句中have been doing为现在完成进行时态，表示从过去某时刻开始一直持续到现在并且还有可能持续下去的动作。
SCENE Ⅱ.— The Palace of Happiness.
(A troop of ②HAPPINESSES rush into③the hall, singing, “There they are！They see us！”They dance merrily ④around the CHILDREN, then the one who appears to be the chief goes up to⑤TYLTYL with hand outstretched ⑥.)
THE HAPPINESS　How do you do, Tyltyl
TYLTYL　Who are you
THE HAPPINESS　Don't you recognise me
TYLTYL　(a little embarrassed ⑦) Why, no...I don't remember seeing any of you.
(All the other HAPPINESSES burst out ⑧laughing.) Why, we are the only things you do know! We are always around you! We eat, drink, wake up, breathe and live with you!
TYLTYL　Oh...But I should like to know what your names are...
THE HAPPINESS　I am the chief of the Happinesses of your home; and all these are the other Happinesses that live there.
TYLTYL　Then there are Happinesses in my home
(All the HAPPINESSES burst out laughing.)
THE HAPPINESS　You heard him! Are there Happinesses in his home! Why, it is crammed⑨ with Happinesses! Let me introduce myself first: the Happiness of Being Well.I am not the prettiest, but I am the most important.This is the Happiness of Pure⑩ Air, who is almost transparent .Here is the Happiness of Loving One's Parents.Here are the Happiness of the Blue Sky, who, of course, is dressed in blue, and the Happiness of the Forest: you will see him every time you go to the window...
TYLTYL　Excuse me, but do you know where the Blue Bird is
THE HAPPINESS　[2] He doesn't know where the Blue Bird is！ (All the HAPPINESSES OF THE HOME burst out laughing.)
TYLTYL　(vexed ) No, I do not know.There's nothing to laugh at .(Fresh bursts of laughter.)
THE HAPPINESS　He doesn't know: well, what do you expect He is no more absurd than the majority of men...
[2]本句中where引导宾语从句，此时where为连接副词，相当于the place where。
ACT Ⅵ
Unable to find the Blue Bird anywhere，the children say goodbye to their magical friends and return home.While they are trying to tell their parents about their adventures, their neighbour comes in.Her sick daughter has wanted Tyltyl's pet bird for a long time，but until now he has been reluctant to give it to her.
SCENE Ⅱ.— The Awakening.
(Enter NEIGHBOUR BERLINGOT，[3] a little old woman leaning on a stick.)
MUMMY TYL　How is your little girl
THE NEIGHBOUR　Only so-so.She can't get up.But I know what would cure her.
MUMMY TYL　Yes, I know; it's Tyltyl's bird.Well, Tyltyl, aren't you going to give it at last to that poor little thing
TYLTYL　My bird! Why, he's blue! But it's my turtle-dove ！ But he's much bluer than when I went away! Why, that's the Blue Bird we were looking for ！ We went so far and he was here all the time! There, Madame Berlingot, take him to your little girl.
THE NEIGHBOUR　Really Straight away and for nothing How happy she will be！(Kissing TYLTYL.)
...
(Later, the NEIGHBOUR enters with a little girl who carries TYLTYL'S dove in her arms.)
THE NEIGHBOUR　Do you see the miracle ？ She can run, she can dance, she can fly! (Pushing the LITTLE GIRL into TYLTYL'S arms.) Come along and thank Tyltyl.
(After TYLTYL kisses the LITTLE GIRL rather awkwardly, the two children look at each other without speaking; then TYLTYL strokes the dove's head.)
TYLTYL　Is he blue enough
THE LITTLE GIRL　Yes, I am so pleased with him.
TYLTYL　I have seen bluer ones.But those which are quite blue, you know, do what you will, you can't catch them.
THE LITTLE GIRL　That doesn't matter; he's lovely.
TYLTYL　Has he had anything to eat I will show you...
(He moves to take the bird from the LITTLE GIRL'S hands.She resists instinctively ; and, in their hesitation , the DOVE escapes and flies away.)
THE LITTLE GIRL　(with a cry of despair )He is gone!
TYLTYL　Never mind.Don't cry.I will catch him again.(Stepping to the front of the stage and addressing the audience.) [4] If any of you should find him, would you be so very kind as to give him back to us？ We need him for our happiness, later on.
[3]动词-ing形式短语作后置定语，修饰a little old woman。
[4]本句为复合句，if引导条件状语从句；在so...as to do结构中，动词不定式作结果状语，意为“如此……以至于……”。

(Adaptation from The Blue Bird by Maurice Maeterlinck)
青鸟

第二场——幸福之园
(一群幸福跑进大厅，唱着：“他们来了！他们看见我们了！”他们围着孩子们欢快地跳起舞来。而后，一个头领模样的人走向狄蒂尔，对他伸出了手。)
幸福　　你好，狄蒂尔！
狄蒂尔　你是……？
幸福　　你认不出我了吗？
狄蒂尔　(有点尴尬)哎呀，是认不出……可我不记得见过你们中的任何一位啊。
(其他幸福哄然大笑。)哟，我们正是你唯一了解的东西啊！我们一直在你周围！我们同你一起吃喝，一起醒来，一起呼吸，一起生活呢！
狄蒂尔　噢……不过我想知道你们的名字叫什么……
幸福　我是你家里幸福的领头人；这些是住在你家的其他幸福。
狄蒂尔　那么，我家里有很多幸福吗？
(所有的幸福都哄然大笑。)
幸福　你们听他在说些什么！他家里是不是有很多幸福！嘿，幸福多得都要挤不下了！先介绍一下我自己：我是健康幸福，虽不是最漂亮的，但却是最重要的。这个是纯净空气幸福，他几乎是透明的。这个是敬爱父母幸福。这个是蓝天幸福，他自然是身穿蓝衣。这个是森林幸福，你每次走到窗前都能看见他……
狄蒂尔　不好意思，请问你知道青鸟在哪儿吗？
幸福　　他不知道青鸟在哪儿！(家里所有的幸福哄然大笑。)
狄蒂尔　(恼火了)是，我就是不知道。有什么好笑的！(又爆出一阵笑声。)
幸福　他不知道，好吧，还能怎么样呢？他和大多数人一样都不可笑……
第六幕
狄蒂尔和梅蒂尔没能找到青鸟，只得同这些神奇的朋友们告别，返回家中。到家后，他们正要和父母讲述自己的奇遇，邻居进来了。邻居生病的女儿想要狄蒂尔的宠物鸟好久了，但直到现在他也不愿意把鸟送人。
第二场——醒来
(邻居贝兰戈上场，是一位拄着一根拐杖的矮小的老妇人。)
狄蒂尔妈妈　你家小姑娘身体怎么样了？
邻居　马马虎虎，还起不了床。可我知道什么能治好她。
狄蒂尔妈妈　对，我也知道；得用狄蒂尔的鸟。喂，狄蒂尔，这下你总该把鸟送给那可怜的小姑娘了吧？
狄蒂尔　我的鸟！咦，它变成了青色！可它是我的小斑鸠啊！颜色怎么比我离开的时候变得更深了！天啊，它肯定是我们一直在找的青鸟！我们走了那么远，没想到它就在这里！给，贝兰戈太太，快把它带给你的小姑娘吧。
邻居　真的？就这样白白送给我了？她该多开心啊！(亲吻狄蒂尔。)
……
(后来，邻居牵着一个小姑娘上场。小姑娘怀抱着狄蒂尔的斑鸠。)
邻居　你们看到这个奇迹了吗？她现在能跑能跳，甚至能飞奔呢！(把小姑娘推到狄蒂尔怀里。)快去谢谢狄蒂尔。
(狄蒂尔笨拙地亲吻了小姑娘以后，两人对视，什么也没说；随后，狄蒂尔轻抚着斑鸠的头。)
狄蒂尔　它的青色够深吗？
小姑娘　是的，我很喜欢它。
狄蒂尔　我还见过更青的鸟，但是你知道的，那些纯青的鸟，真是怎么捉也捉不住。
小姑娘　没关系的；这只就很美了。
狄蒂尔　它吃过东西了吗？我给你看看(它是怎么吃东西的)……
(他想从小姑娘手里接过青鸟，小姑娘本能地拒绝；在争抢的过程中，斑鸠逃掉并飞走了。)
小姑娘　(绝望地大喊)它飞走了！
狄蒂尔　没关系的，不要哭。我会把它抓回来的。(走到舞台前，面向观众致辞。)你们若是有谁找到了它，能请你们把它归还给我们吗？为了以后的幸福，我们需要它。

Ⅱ.阅读理解
For three days, the doctor didn't get single patient.Then on the fourth day, a woman opened the door to his office, saw him and ran away.
“I had to run after her, saying I can help her with the problem，” said Diarra Boubacar.The 53-year-old still has a good laugh when he talks about his first day working as a doctor of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) at a private hospital in Chengdu, Sichuan Province.
“If my approach is not effective, I will not take any money from you，” he promised the woman.The woman finally accepted his treatment and felt better.“She started bringing her parents and her husband, and they all became my patients.”
Born in a African country of Mali, Boubacar first came to China in 1984 on a student exchange programme majoring in Chinese language and culture at Beijing Language and Culture University.After the course, he studied TCM at Guangzhou University of Chinese Medicine.
Since TCM is also related to Chinese history and culture, students have to study ancient Chinese literature as most of the medical texts were written in ancient Chinese characters.“That's a subject even the Chinese find difficult; so think of me, a foreigner！” he said.
However, the greatest challenge for him was to convince people that even though he was a foreigner, he could still treat them effectively with TCM.
Besides his work in the community, Boubacar is also known as the “African Norman Bethune”．Doctor Bethune was a Canadian frontline doctor who ran mobile hospital in north China in the 1930s.
“I want to build not only a hospital but also an educational centre where people can come and learn about Chinese medicine，” Boubacar said.
He plans to build a hospital with an educational centre where people can learn TCM in Africa.“If they learn TCM, they will be able to treat people in Africa in a very cheap and effective way.”

【语篇解读】　本文是一篇说明文。人的潜能是无限的，但许多人都白白浪费了这些潜能，文章讲述了两种浪费潜能的做法，并提供了改进方法。
1．where　[考查定语从句。分析句子结构可知，该空引导定语从句修饰 situation，并在从句中充当状语，故填 where。]
2．reaching　[考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知，reach不需要充当谓语，故考虑用非谓语动词充当状语。]
3．Unfortunately　[考查副词。该空充当状语，修饰整个句子，故用副词 Unfortunately。]
4．are　[考查主谓一致。此句为全部倒装，句子主语为two ways，故填 are。]
5．on/upon　[考查固定搭配。短语focus on/upon 意为“集中(注意力、精力)于”。]
6．to fail　[考查非谓语动词。be afraid to do sth.害怕做某事。]
7．what　[考查主语从句。根据句子结构可知，该空引导主语从句， what表示“……的东西/事情”，在从句中作介词of的宾语。what they're really afraid of表示“他们真正害怕的事情”。]
8．dreams　[考查名词复数。many修饰可数名词复数，故填dreams。]
9．yourself　[考查反身代词。owe it to yourself是固定搭配，意为“你理应这么做”。]
10．motivated　[考查非谓语动词。此处是“keep＋宾语＋宾语补足语”结构。motivate表示“激励”，和宾语之间是被动关系。所以填过去分词形式。]Section Ⅴ

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、 D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
Getting your kid to bed at night is seriously one of the most challenging things you'll ever have to do.Most kids are just so full of energy that they'll tire you out before they're halfway through their store of energy.An easy thing to calm down your child to get into bed is giving in and allowing some tablet screen time.However, it's really not a great idea, just like you thought.
Researchers at the Arizona State University conducted a study with 547 kids between the ages of 7 to 9.Their parents tracked how much screen time the kids were allowed along with their sleep patterns.The study found that kids who did not engage in screen time before bed slept for 23 more minutes every week and also went to sleep about 34 minutes earlier than those playing with tablet.Although that might not seem like so much more time, quality of sleep is vastly important in children's development.
The CDC's (美国疾病控制中心)2018 National Youth Risk Survey outlined that good quality sleep can impact a child's life in many ways, including affecting grades and also weight gain.Students with an “A” average slept for 30 or more minutes per night than those with a “D” or “F” average.
A 2018 Pennsylvania State University study showed that children with irregular bedtimes had a higher risk of having increased body weight.Those with consistent and age-appropriate bedtimes when they were 9 years old had a healthier BMI (体质指数)at age 15 than those with irregular bedtimes.
Hard as it is, it's really important not to give in and hand over a tablet to your child who is about to go to bed.Just like it's important for adults to go to sleep without any distractions, it's even more important for kids.
【语篇解读】　本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了有些家长允许孩子睡前玩电子设备，以此来哄他们早点上床睡觉。然而，一系列研究表明睡前让孩子玩电子设备降低了孩子的睡眠质量，进而影响到孩子的成绩以及体重等。

A．More sleep is necessary for children's development.
B．Enough sleep helps improve academic performances.
C．Screen time before bed leads to later and less sleep.

2．Who is the text intended for
A．Parents.　　　 B．Children.

D　[主旨大意题。通读全文，根据第一段的最后两句可知，要让孩子安静下来上床睡觉，方法之一是让孩子玩一会平板电脑。然而，这真的不是一个好主意，就像你想的那样。根据第二段内容可知，睡前玩电子设备会导致孩子睡眠时间减少，睡得也更晚，这降低了孩子的睡眠质量。根据第三段的第一句可知，良好的睡眠质量可以在很多方面影响孩子的生活。由此可知，本文主要讲述了睡前让孩子玩电子设备对孩子不好的原因。故选D。]

Sometimes life can seem challenging (挑战的)and we usually get the feeling of “the grass on the other side is always greener”！ We usually feel upset with the troubles that life throws at us.
The best thing to do at that point of time is to close our eyes and start counting of all the blessings in life.
If we think deeply, our life is full of blessings that we hardly recognise.Listening to the singing of birds early in the morning, we realise that there are many people who spend their life in a world that is silent while many others spend their lives in a world that is dark and may have never seen a rainbow or the setting sun.
When you go out for a drive, pull down the window and look at the poor beggar standing under the hot sun, begging for filling his hungry stomach.We get three meals a day without realising its importance.Isn't that a blessing
Whenever you are sad, look at the eyes of your parents and family filled with love and concern for you.There are many people who have never experienced the love of a family.Isn't that a blessing
As Mother Teresa once said, “We don't need to do great things.We need to do small things with great love.”
The key to a happy life is when we consider others' problems to be our own and try to help them.When we love people without any expectations and help them, our heart is filled with a sense of happiness and peace seeing the smile on their face.
So the next time whenever life knocks you down, close your eyes and...start counting!
【语篇解读】　本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章主要介绍了生活中充满挑战，为此我们会感到沮丧，有时会“这山望着那山高”，其实我们只需要数数我们被给予的福气就会懂得知足。

A．True happiness lies in achieving wealth.
B．Blessings should be treasured in our life.
C．The singing of birds can make us happy.
D．Love from our family gives us courage to face life.

7．What would be the best title for the text
A．Troubles in Life
B．Secrets of Life
C．A Sense of Happiness
D．Count Your Blessings
D　[标题归纳题。根据第二段内容可知，在那个时候，最好的办法就是闭上眼睛，开始数数我们生命中的所有福气。根据最后一段内容可知，所以下次当生活把你打倒的时候，闭上你的眼睛，开始数数(我们被给予的福气)！故选D。]

Over the past few years, comedian Ruby Wax has become increasingly well known as a mental health campaigner and a celebrity face with an awareness of depression after she was hospitalized for depression in 2007.
This led to a show — Live from the Priory — which she and her friends first performed in private at NHS mental health institutions before taking it on the road.Since then, Ruby has gained a master's degree in mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (基于正念的认知疗法), written books on the subject and spoken frankly in interviews and blog posts.“We live in a time when so many of us are struggling with pressure，” Ruby reveals.Our feelings of stress can be linked to social media, but Ruby has learned how to balance this.“I only use social media when I need it, but that's something that you need to train your brain to do，” she explains.“It's addictive.But if you practise something like mindfulness or cognitive therapy, there will be a little buzzer (蜂鸣器) in your mind that acts as a warning.Thanks to mindfulness and therapy, I'll know now when my brain is too full and I need to slow down from a kind of rush.”
It is Ruby's own struggles with depression and her willingness to open up that led to her founding Frazzled Cafe.It encourages people to come together to share personal experiences in a secure and anonymous environment.Ruby met thousands of people who wanted to talk and feel connected, and she sensed a need for a place where people could meet for peer-to-peer support to help cope with the great stresses of modern life.“Everyone has a chance to talk about what is going on in their lives.And feeling heard, to me, has always been half the cure，” she finishes.

I used to think the whole purpose of life was pursuing happiness.Everyone said the path to happiness was success, so I searched for that ideal job, that perfect boyfriend, and that beautiful apartment.But instead of ever feeling fulfilled, I felt anxious and lost.Eventually，I decided to go to graduate school for positive psychology to learn what truly makes people happy.
And what's the difference between being happy and having meaning in life Many psychologists describe happiness as a state of comfort and ease, feeling good in the moment.Meaning, though, is deeper.The famous psychologist Martin Seligman says meaning comes from belonging to and serving something beyond yourself and from developing the best within you.Our culture is obsessed with happiness, but I came to see that seeking meaning is the more fulfilling path.
There are four pillars of a meaningful life.
The first pillar is belonging.Belonging comes from being in relationships where you're valued for who you are and where you value others as well.For many people, belonging is the most essential source of meaning.
For others, the key to meaning is the second pillar: purpose.Finding your purpose is not the same thing as finding that job that makes you happy.A doctor told me her purpose is healing sick people.Many parents tell me, “My purpose is raising my children.” The key to purpose is using your strengths to serve others.Without something worthwhile to do, people flounder，thus losing the aim of life.
The third pillar of meaning is also about stepping beyond yourself, but in a completely different way: transcendence (超然)．Transcendent experiences can change you.Transcendent states are those rare moments when you're lifted above the hustle and bustle of daily life, your sense of self fades away, and you feel connected to a higher reality.For me, I'm a writer, and it happens through writing.Sometimes I get so in the zone that I lose all sense of time and place.
The fourth pillar is storytelling, the story you tell yourself about yourself.Creating a narrative from the events of your life brings clarity.It helps you understand how you became you.But we don't always realise that we're the authors of our stories and can change the way we're telling them.Your life isn't just a list of events.You can edit, interpret and retell your story, even as you're constrained by the facts.
That's the power of meaning.Happiness comes and goes.But when life is really good and when things are really bad, having meaning gives you something to hold on to.
【语篇解读】　本文是一篇议论文。文章论述了追求幸福对生活的重要性，但作者认为更重要的是寻找生活本身的价值和意义。
12．What can we know from the first two paragraphs
A．Life might be fulfilled by landing ideal jobs.
B．Life dilemma is challenging for us to get out of.
C．Meaning is highly valued in our culture.
D．Happiness is what most people try to achieve.
D　[细节理解题。第一段和第二段内容主要向我们说明了大多数人在追求幸福。故选D。]
13．Which word is the closest to the underlined word “flounder” in paragraph 5
A．Confused. B．Distracted.
C．Disappointed. D．Saddened.
A　[词义猜测题。根据第五段内容可知，没有值得做的事情，人们就会……，从而失去生活的目标。失去生活目标是指人们没有值得做的事时会不知所措或者迷茫，因此推断画线词flounder意为“困惑，不知所措”。故选A。]
14．Which pillar can describe an artist obsessed with her work despite repeated failures
A．Belonging. B．Purpose.
C．Transcendence. D．Storytelling.
C　[细节理解题。根据第六段内容可知，卓越的经历可以改变你。超然的状态是那些罕见的时刻，当你从日常生活的喧嚣中解脱出来，你的自我感消失，你感到与一个更高级的现实相连接。可知，超然可以描述一个屡遭失败却仍对自己的作品着迷的艺术家。故选C。]
15．What does the passage aim to tell us
A．Meaning is superior to happiness.
B．Meaning is the way to success.
C．Chasing meaning can make people happy.
D．Meaning has deeper psychological significance.
A　[写作意图题。根据最后一段内容可知，幸福来了又去，但是生活的意义可以使你坚持下去，由此可知，生活的意义比幸福更重要。故选A。]

A latest study finds that ratings of honesty and humility among employees may predict how their bosses view job performance. 16
Over a period of a year and a half, Dr Wade, a professor of Baylor University, and his team conducted online surveys of about 270 employees from 25 companies in the health care field. 17 These results were then compared with performance reviews completed by the employees' inspectors, who rated each worker according to 35 job skills. 18
Employees who self-reported high levels of honesty and humility consistently received better job performance reviews by their supervisors.
Wade acknowledges that honesty and humility will not predict job performance in every field, especially for jobs where a high level of self-promotion is necessary, such as sales roles or entertainers.He said, however, that in many workplaces, employees who show honesty and humility will be liked by their colleagues. 19 They probably get along with their inspectors and co-workers, and this is driving some of the better performance ratings.
20 Many humble people may not self-report that they are humble, Wade said, while narcissists(自恋者) might fake humility to make themselves more appealing.While he admits his study did not have a control for such behavior, previous studies of peer ratings of humility have shown that self-reports usually connect with those of colleagues.Honesty and humility are socially desirable qualities; there's really no way around that.
A．Those invited are honest and humble.
B．Honesty and humility in jobs are essential.
C．Partly difficult to measure, humility is alternative.
D．They are trustworthy, down-to-earth, and easy to relate to.
E．Most worked in jobs that involved one-to-one care of challenging clients.
F．As honesty and humility increase, inspector ratings of job performance increase.
G．Participants in 20 states were asked to self-report on their own character qualities.
【语篇解读】　本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了诚实和谦逊是工作表现的最佳预测因素。
16．F　[根据上一句可知，员工的诚实度和谦逊度可能会影响老板对工作表现的看法，由此可知，下文进一步对此进行陈述，即员工的诚实度和谦逊度与老板对工作表现的看法之间的关系，F项(诚实度和谦逊度提高，监督员对工作表现的评级也随之提高)。符合语境，承接上文，故选F。]
17．G　[根据上文可知，此处介绍了Dr Wade和他的同事进行了网上调查，后文是对调查过程的具体描述，由此可知，G项(20个州的参加者被要求自我报告他们的性格品质)。也是对调查过程的描述，符合语境，其中“Participants”代指上文提到的“about 270 employees from 25 companies”，故选G。]
18．E　[根据上文可知，此处是对网上调查过程的描述，即将在线调查的结果和这些雇员的检查员对于他们的表现评价进行比较。E项(大多数人从事的工作涉及对具有挑战性的客户进行一对一的维护。)补充说明这些参与者的工作情况，符合语境，故选E。]
19．D　[根据上文可知，在许多工作场合，诚实和谦虚的人受同事喜欢，由此可知，下文应该是解释诚实和谦虚的人受同事喜欢的原因。D项(他们值得信赖，脚踏实地，共情能力强。)符合语境，故选D。]
20．C　[根据下文可知，许多谦逊的人可能不会称自己很谦卑，而自恋者可能会假装谦卑。由此可见，此处说明了谦虚是有选择性的这一特点，所以C项(在一定程度上，谦逊难以衡量，因为谦逊是具有选择性的。)符合语境。故选C。]

【语篇解读】　本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了二十四节气在农业生产、传统习俗和人们的生活方式等方面的影响。
36．were included　[考查时态、语态和主谓一致。句意：2016年，被誉为“中国第五大发明”的二十四节气被联合国教科文组织列入人类非物质文化遗产代表名录。空处为句子谓语动词，根据时间状语In 2016判断为一般过去时，且主语the 24 solar terms与include之间是被动关系，应用一般过去时的被动语态，主语是复数，故填were included。]
37．and　[考查连词。句意：二十四节气以立春开始，以大寒结束。结合句意，end up with和begin with是并列的谓语，是顺承关系，应用and连接。故填and。]
38．Previously　[考查副词。句意：以前，这种方法不仅指导农业生产，指导农民预测气温变化、春播和秋收，而且还指导中国的民俗。空处修饰后文整个句子，应用副词形式，该空位于句首，首字母要大写。故填Previously。]
39．instructing　[考查非谓语动词。空处作伴随状语，应用非谓语动词，instruct和逻辑主语this system之间为主动关系，应用动词-ing形式。故填instructing。]
40．evolved　[考查时态。句意：例如，冬至是二十四节气中确定的第一个节气，后来演变为祭祖的节日。空处与上文was为并列的谓语动词，结合语境判断为一般过去时。故填evolved。]
41．to adapt　[考查非谓语动词。句意：它提醒人们通过适当的饮食和文化仪式来适应季节的变化。结合句意表达“提醒某人做某事”用remind sb.to do sth.，不定式作宾语补足语。故填to adapt。]
42．It　[考查固定句型。句意：清明扫墓等季节性习俗仍然很流行。此处为固定句型It＋be＋adj.＋ to do sth.“做某事是……的”，It是形式主语，不定式短语是真正的主语。故填It。]
43．deepening　[考查非谓语动词。句意：随着人们对传统文化理解的加深，以节气为灵感的文化产品应运而生。根据with复合结构可知，空处应填非谓语动词作宾语补足语，deepen和逻辑主语people之间为主动关系，应用动词-ing形式。故填deepening。]
44．creativity　[考查名词。句意：它反映了中国人的情感纽带、智慧和创造力，中国人尊重自然并与自然和平共处。空处应填名词作宾语，creativity为抽象概念，不可数。故填creativity。]
45．who　[考查定语从句。空处引导非限制性定语从句，先行词Chinese在从句中作主语，应用关系代词who引导。故填who。]

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。
My parents love the saying “If at first you don't succeed，try，try again.” so much that they even bought a pillow with those words on it.But I was recently in a situation where I was so ready to give up.
It started last week when my friend Ollie and I were helping his grandmother Mary to carry boxes from her garage to her car for the homeless shelter rummage sale(旧杂物义卖)．
At the sight of a big old trunk (大箱子)，we asked Mary what was inside.But she told us that as she had lost the key，she had to find a master locksmith to figure it out.“Let me have a try，” said Ollie.“I bet I can open that lock in two minutes flat! Maybe there's a treasure inside，like gold or diamonds or an ancient map！”
Mary smiled，“I'll tell you what.If you two treasure hunters can open this trunk，you can have it，along with whatever is inside.”
Ollie got a tool kit and we set out to open the lock.But he definitely lost that bet.Those two minutes turned into two hours，with no luck at all.We had tried every tool in the kit，but the lock wouldn't move slightly.
“It's no use，” Ollie sighed.“I guess we have to give up.”
“But we can't give up！” I said.“What about ‘If at first you don't succeed，try，try again.’？”
Ollie shook his head.“Unless you know a magical key fairy，we're never getting this unlocked.”
Just then，my little brother Tex showed up.He showed great interest in the trunk.“It looks like an upside-down boat! Can I turn it over and pretend I'm sailing in the ocean？”
“Sure，” Ollie replied.“It's no good for anything else.”
“Ahoy！” Tex said，climbing on the top after Ollie and I turned it over.“I'm the captain！” He giggled as he jumped up and down.And right then，a screw (螺丝) from a hinge (铰链) came loose and rolled to the floor.
注意：1．续写词数应为150左右；
2．请按如下格式作答。
“That's it！I know how to open it！” said Ollie.

“That's it！I know how to open it！” said Ollie. “These are regular screws.We could remove the screws so that the hinge can be taken off from the trunk！” He exclaimed with a radiant (喜气洋洋的) smile.Just now，we were so focused on the lock that we didn't try to open the trunk another way.Then we asked Tex to jump off the trunk，and turned it upright.Ollie immediately took out a screwdriver from the tool kit.In two minutes flat，he opened the trunk with my assistance.
Oh！There were only lots of shoes in the trunk！ Ollie and I were pretty disappointed at the discovery，which wasn't diamonds or gold.Seeing our frustration，Mary patted us on the shoulder，saying，“These shoes are in such great shape that we can raise money by selling them at the rummage sale.” Our faces lit up and a sense of achievement crept over us.We found “treasure” after all! Our persistence finally paid off! If at first you don't succeed，try，try again.Section Ⅳ　Developing ideas—Writing

课时分层作业(六)
Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
The key to a happy life has nothing to do with getting ahead at work，making money，or travelling the world.Instead，living your best life and creating meaning is all about one thing: relationships.
A study of adult development has been running at Harvard since 1938，and is now on its second generation of participants—the children of the original study's subjects.Over decades，the research team collected data about their lives，including their physical and mental health，marital (婚姻的) status and quality，career happiness，and more.
They found the most important factor in how happy and healthy these men were over time was their relationships.In other words，finding happiness in life is all about the people you love.
The research doesn't only include romantic relationships and marriage.Quality，close relationships are important whether they are in the context of romantic relationships or closeness between friends or family members.The kind of relationship you have is less important than how close you feel with them.
However，the study only included men，and there're important gender differences in how people experience relationships.Some research suggests that men may benefit more from marriage.But they tend to have a harder time keeping friendships; as men get older，they are more likely to say they have nobody to discuss important subjects with.So it's possible that having close relationships throughout their lives might affect men differently than women.
However，the findings line up with empirical (以试验为依据的) research on the effects of loneliness.People who are socially isolated have a greater likelihood of strokes (中风)，heart attacks，and higher blood pressure，not to mention mental health issues.
Unfortunately for the youngest generation，recent surveys found that young Americans are lonelier than older generations.That will likely have a big impact on how healthy and happy people feel throughout their lives.
【语篇解读】　本文是一篇说明文。一项研究表明幸福的关键不在于工作上领先、赚钱或者周游世界，而在于亲密的人际关系。
1．What lesson can we learn from this passage
A．Travel far and wide to learn a lot.
B．Keep an open mind to be creative.
C．Treasure your time with your loved ones.
D．Work hard to be the best of your profession.
C　[推理判断题。本文围绕一项研究和其发现展开，这项研究表明，幸福的关键在于亲密的人际关系，亲密的关系既然如此重要，那么我们自然要珍视与所爱的人在一起的时光，C项与此相符。]
2．What's the implication in paragraph 5
A．Women are unwilling to participate in the study.
B．Men are better at maintaining a close relationship.
C．Women are not treated equally in scientific research.
D．The findings of the study may not be true for women.
D　[细节理解题。根据第五段中的“However，the study only included men...people experience relationships.”可知，文中所提及的研究对象均是男性；再根据第五段中的“So it's possible ...differently than women.”可知，拥有亲密的人际关系对女性的影响或许跟对男性的影响不同。结合上面的信息我们不难得知，研究的发现或许在女性身上并不适用，故本题选D项。]
3．Why is the youngest generation unfortunate
A．Because they have nobody to talk to.
B．Because they are more socially isolated.
C．Because they can't keep their relationships.
D．Because they suffer physically and mentally.
B　[细节理解题。根据第七段中的“Unfortunately for the...are lonelier than older generations.”可知，本题应该选B项。题干中的“unfortunate”与关键信息中的“Unfortunately”对应，B项中的“are more socially isolated”与关键信息中的“are lonelier”相吻合。]
4．What is the best title for the passage
A．Close Relationships Make a Happy Life
B．Men Look Forward to Close Relationships
C．Close Relationships Ensure People's Health
D．Men and Women Differ in Keeping Relationships
A　[标题归纳题。通读全文我们不难得知，本文是围绕一项研究及其发现展开的，该研究表明：幸福的关键在于亲密的人际关系，A项与此相吻合。]
B
Southend Pier is a pier (突码头) stretching out to sea for 1.3 miles.Walking to the end and back is almost the same distance as climbing the Matterhorn, one of the highest mountains in the Alps and Europe.So on hot days, most visitors will choose the pier train when they are on Southend Pier before cooling off with an ice cream, or perhaps sending a postcard from the pier's own letter box.
Completed in 1890, Southend Pier is an icon of the Victorian British seaside.Each year, it attracts thousands of tourists into Southend, a coastal town in southeastern Essex, England.Sir John Betjeman, an English poet, once stated, “The Pier is Southend; Southend is the Pier.” “Seaside resorts (a vacation place) were built on mass tourism.They made money by attracting as many visitors as possible，” says Dr Anya Chapman from Bourmemouth University.
At the start of the Victorian leisure boom, most visitors arrived at the coast by sea.Piers were the transport centers of their day.Dr Anya Chapman explains, “Before the railways, piers brought the tourists.But Southend had a disadvantage.At low tide, the sea retreats by a mile, while at high tide the water level rarely tops six meters.This meant large tourist ships couldn't dock (停靠) at Southend.Faced with losing valuable income from tourism, the solution was a record-breaking pier.”
By the 1940s around four million visitors walked on the boards each year at Southend.However, tourist numbers fell with the rise of European package holidays.Britain's piers faced being washed away by the tide of changing tastes.In 1980 Southend Pier closed.Luckily, campaigners saved it from the threat of being torn down.
Piers have already developed to broaden their appeal.Attractions on offer now range from aquariums (水族馆) to zip wires.And these seaside structures still provide a timeless pleasure.The charm of the sea has been with us for centuries and piers offer a simple excitement — being able to walk on water.Of the one hundred or so Victorian piers，61 have survived with 56 open to the public.
【语篇解读】　本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了英国的一处历史遗迹——Southend Pier。
5．What does Sir John Betjeman's statement mainly imply
A．Southend's influence on Southend Pier.
B．Southend Pier's importance to Southend.
C．Southend's over-dependence on tourism.
D．His love for Southend Pier and Southend.
B　[推理判断题。根据第二段中的“it attracts thousands of tourists into Southend”可知，Southend Pier 给Southend带来了成千上万的游客，由此可推断，Sir John Betjeman的话主要显示了Southend Pier对Southend的重要性。]
6．Why does Dr. Anya Chapman mention Southend's environment
A．To show Southend's big attraction to tourists.
B．To tell the challenge of building Southend Pier.
C．To describe the distinctive beauty of Southend Pier.
D．To explain the necessity of Southend Pier's unusual length.
D　[细节理解题。根据第三段中的“At low tide, the sea retreats by a mile, while at high tide the water level rarely tops six meters....Faced with losing valuable income from tourism, the solution was a record-breaking pier.”可知，Dr Anya Chapman提到此处的环境是为了说明Southend Pier的设计长度的原因。]
7．What can we infer from the last two paragraphs
A．People can still enjoy Victorian piers for some time.
B．People failed to recognize the value of Southend Pier.
C．Most Victorian piers have disappeared in history.
D．The public become less interested in piers.
A　[推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Piers have already developed to broaden their appeal.”以及“Of the one hundred or so Victorian piers, 61 have survived with 56 open to the public.”可推断，作者认为人们在一段时间内依然能享受这些码头带来的乐趣。]
8．What is the text mainly about
A．The development of English piers.
B．An introduction to Southend Pier.
C．The history of Southend's tourism.
D．The ups and downs of Southend.
B　[主旨大意题。根据文章内容可知，本文主要介绍了英国的一处历史遗迹——Southend Pier。]

Believe it or not，the first time I happened to read the newspaper Youth a couple of months ago，I felt an urge to finish reading it in one breath.From then on，I became one of its keen readers，never missing a single issue of it.While many columns leave a deep impression on me，the column that stands out most is none other than the one where you regularly put articles about foreign cultures and the most efficient ways of learning English.I feel privileged to have been introduced to your newspaper，which definitely contributes a lot to my progress in English study.It's my sincere hope that the newspaper will be more popular among us students.核心单词 pessimistic, anticipate, possession, abnormal, widespread, recognition, phrase, cooperate, fee, pure, luxury

Tuesdays with Morrie
Despite① being a sports journalist② with a successful career ahead of him, Mitch Albom feels that there is something missing from his life.This all changes when he is reunited with③his favourite college professor, Morrie Schwartz.[1] On discovering that Morrie is being weakened④by a severe⑤illness, Mitch starts visiting him at his house on Tuesdays.The weekly conversations⑥between Mitch and Morrie result in a series of ⑦ lessons on the meaning of life and how best to live it.
[1]on＋doing表示“一……就……”，相当于as soon as引导的时间状语从句。
Arthur K ☆☆☆☆☆
This book is about dying, but it is not pessimistic⑧.Indeed, it was a pleasant surprise to find that this book is filled with⑨ joy and hope.Morrie's bravery⑩ towards the end of his life is inspirational and has made me value my own life more.In fact, far from being a book about death, it's a book about life.As Morrie says, “Once you learn how to die, you learn how to live.”[2] As Morrie anticipates his own death, he observes everything as though through new eyes—the things around him seem more beautiful than ever before and hold new meanings. [3] From his window, he watches each season change, knowing it could be his last. This encourages us to appreciate what we have, and to make the most of each day.
[2]本句为复合句，as 意为“当……时”，引导时间状语从句。as though相当于as if，意为“似乎，好像……”，引导方式状语从句。
[3]本句为简单句，knowing it could be his last 为动词-ing形式短语作伴随状语。
Amy Wang ☆☆☆☆☆
I think this book should be on all school reading lists .[4] After finishing it, I feel I have been given a deeper insight into the world and can see things from a different point of view. On the 11th Tuesday, Morrie explains that “... the big things—how we think, what we value —those you must choose yourself.You can't let anyone—or any society—determine those for you”．While we are living, we tend to get distracted by unimportant things, such as gathering material possessions .[5] I think it's important for young people to know that making a lot of money won't always make them happy, or that looking different doesn't make a person abnormal ！ It's up to us to find out what is important in our lives and establish our own values.
[4]本句为简单句，after在此为介词，意为“在……之后”，finishing it作介词after的宾语。
[5]本句为复合句，I think为句子的主谓语，it's important for young people to... 为省略了that的宾语从句；在宾语从句中，that making a lot of money won't always make them happy和that looking different doesn't make a person abnormal又是or连接的并列结构，作know的宾语。
Morrie says that most people “seem half-asleep”，even when they're doing things they think are important.Reading this book made me feel as if I'd been woken up from a long sleep and finally opened my eyes to the world!
Marty ☆☆☆☆☆
[6] Despite its widespread recognition ， my first impression was that Tuesdays with Morrie is just made up of a collection of over-emotional thoughts and messages, many of which are repeated. But thinking back, it did teach me a lesson or two.The book made me stop and think about how much I am influenced by popular culture and the importance of creating my own values based on love and open communication.Although it isn't my favourite book, I'd still recommend that people read it—after all, it is something that's a bit different!
[6]本句为复合句，despite引导让步状语从句；that引导表语从句，作was的表语；many of which are repeated 为“代词＋of＋关系代词”引导的非限制性定语从句。
Vivian ☆☆☆☆☆
Warning! A box of tissues will be needed to get through this book！Morrie's reflections on love and friendship made me think about my life and all the good friends that I've lost touch with along the way.It made me realise just how much I miss them.
I guess that's one of the lessons of the book—always keep in touch with the good people you meet as you go through life.[7] Like Mitch, Morrie makes you aware that you want to die feeling that you have lived life to the full ， knowing that you are loved and have loved others as much as you could.As Morrie's favourite poet Auden said, “Love each other or perish.”
[7]本句为复合句，其中that you want to die为that引导的宾语从句；feeling that you have lived life to the full, knowing that you are loved and have loved others as much as you could 为动词-ing形式短语作伴随状语。
《相约星期二》
尽管米奇·阿尔博姆是一位前途光明的体育新闻记者，可他总觉得生活里少了些什么。直到和最喜爱的大学教授莫里·施瓦茨重逢，他的心态才彻底改变。米奇得知莫里得了重病，日渐虚弱，便每周二都去教授家看望他。米奇和莫里每周的谈话最终成为一堂堂课，探讨人生意义和如何更好地生活。
阿瑟·K
虽然这本书谈论的是死亡，但并不悲观。书里洋溢着欢乐和希望，很是让人惊喜。莫里面对死亡所展示出的无畏也给人很大的启发，让我更加珍惜自己的生命。实际上，这根本不是一本关于死亡的书，而是一本关于生活的书。正如莫里所说：“懂得了怎样死亡，也就学会了怎样生活。”到了弥留之际，莫里开始用新的眼光看待周围的一切事物——一切都显得更加美好，也有了新的意义。他在窗边看季节更替，知道这可能是生命的最后时光。这鼓励我们珍视自己所拥有的一切，充分利用每一天。
埃米·王
我认为这本书应该被列入所有学校的阅读书目。读完后，我觉得自己对世界有了更深刻的认识，可以从不同的角度看待事物了。在第11个星期二，莫里说道：“……在重要的问题上，比如如何思考、我们珍视什么等方面，你必须自己做选择。你不能让任何人或社会替你做决定。”在我们活着的时候，我们往往会被不重要的事物分散注意力，例如积累物质财富。我认为对于年轻人来说，重要的是明白赚很多钱并不总能带来快乐，看上去与众不同并不代表不正常！我们应该靠自己去弄清楚生命中什么才是最重要的，并树立我们自己的价值观。
莫里说即使大多数人在做自认为重要的事情，他们也是“看上去半睡半醒”的。阅读这本书仿佛将我从长觉中唤醒了，让我终于开始放眼看世界！

尽管《相约星期二》这本书得到了广泛的认可，但是我的第一印象是，它只是传达了过于感性的思想和信息，其中有很多是重复的。不过现在回想起来，这本书确实给了我一两条经验，它能让我停下来思考流行文化对我的影响，以及在爱与开放式沟通的基础上树立自己的价值观有多么重要。虽然这不是我最爱的一本书，但我还是要推荐大家读一读，毕竟它有与众不同的地方！
薇薇安
注意了！读这本书时，千万要准备一盒纸巾！莫里对于爱和友谊的思考，使我想起了自己的生活，想起一路走来失去联系的那些好友。我才意识到，原来自己如此想念他们。
在人生旅途中，要和你遇到的优秀的人时常保持联系，这或许就是此书想传达给我们的一条经验吧。莫里提醒米奇，也提醒了人们：在你将死之时，要感觉你已经活得很充实，要知道自己是被爱的，也一直尽力爱着别人。正如莫里最爱的诗人奥登所说的：“不相爱即如死灭。”

It was once considered an important status symbol—but having a home phone is increasingly seen as a white elephant．New figures show that one in five households no longer bother with a landline (固定电话)，and almost a third of those that do never actually use it.
The vast majority of people who still have a home phone—72 percent—say they only have it because it is part of their broadband package.But that's not the only reason to desert the home phone—20 percent of those surveyed said that they were fed up with the number of cold calls and would-be scammers (诈骗者)．
Digital media expert Dr Elinor Carmi said there was a generational and social divide in phone use.She explained: “If you're young and have the mobility to go outside, you would rely on a mobile phone.But if you are older, disabled and perhaps poorer, our research shows you're more likely to use a landline.If you are richer, you will have access to more smart devices — a smart TV, smartphone or laptop.But the poorer you are—or if you are older, your use of these devices is more limited.”
Last year, research from regulator Ofcom found that the amount of time spent on landline calls annually in the UK had halved over just six years, to 54 billion minutes.The new study also showed that more than a quarter of households have decided to find a broadband provider that does not charge for their unused landline, but only six percent have done so.

A．Their broadband package contains it.
B．Their family can only afford to use it.
C．They are used to using a home phone.
D．They consider it an important status symbol.
A　[细节理解题。根据第二段第一句可知，有些人仍然拥有家庭电话的主要原因是他们的宽带套餐包含它。]
6．Which of the following is more likely to use a landline

B．An old poor gardener.
C．An outdoor photographer.
D．A famous indoor designer.
B　[推理判断题。根据第三段中“But if you are older, disabled and perhaps poorer, our research shows you're more likely to use a landline.”可知，一个贫穷的老园丁更有可能使用固定电话。]
7．What's the best title of the text
A．End of the landline
B．Fed up with cold calls

Ⅲ.阅读七选五
Many people think that positive thinking is mostly about keeping one's head in the sand and ignoring daily problems, trying to look optimistic.In reality it has more to do with the way an individual talks to himself.Self-talk is a constant stream of thoughts of a person, who is often unaware and uncertain of some events, phenomena, people, or even the person himself. 1 Meanwhile, positive thinking can help to stop negative self-talks and start to form a positive view on an issue.People who regularly practise positive thinking tend to solve problems more effectively.They are less exposed to stress caused by external factors.They tend to believe in themselves and in what they do.
2 People who think positively demonstrate increased lifespans (寿命), lower rates of depression and anxiety, better physical and psychological health, reduced risks of death from heart problems.Positive thinking also contributes to one's ability to deal with problems and hardships. 3 For example, researchers have found that in the case of a crisis accompanied by strong emotions, such as a natural disaster, positive thinking can provide a sort of buffer (缓冲作用) against depression and anxiety.Resilient (适应性强的) people who think positively tend to treat every problem as a challenge, a chance for improvement of any kind, or as an opportunity for personal growth.Pessimists, on the contrary, tend to perceive problems as a source of additional stress. 4
In conclusion, positive thinking is a powerful and effective tool for dealing with hard times and improving the quality of one's life.It doesn't have anything to do with ignorant optimism when an individual refuses to notice a problem. 5 Thinking in a positive, self-encouraging way brings about many benefits to one's physical and mental health.
A．It doesn't cause any severe emotional discomfort, either.
B．Negative self-talk damages self-confidence and decreases self-respect.
C．It helps one to remain clear-headed and confident in difficult situations.
D．Positive thinking has several beneficial effects on the body and the mind.
E．As thinking changes, an individual's behaviour and habits change as well.
F．They often offer a real alternative to the common and regular way of thinking.
G．They often feel discouraged long before trying to solve the problem, even if small.

3．C　[本段主要讲到了积极思维的好处；再结合下文中的举例可知，研究者发现在伴随强烈情感的紧急情况下，比如自然灾害，积极思维可以给人们抵抗抑郁和焦虑提供一种缓冲，所以C项符合语境。]
4．G　[结合空前一句“相反，悲观主义者倾向于把问题看作额外压力的来源”可知，本空讲到的应该是这样做的危害和影响，所以G项符合语境。]

复习被动语态
一、各种时态的被动语态的构成
被动语态由助动词be和及物动词的过去分词构成。被动语态可用于各种时态，其时态变化通过助动词be的不同形式来体现。
时态 被动语态
一般现在时 am/is/are＋done
一般将来时 will＋be＋done
一般过去时 was/were＋done
现在进行时 am/is/are＋being＋done
过去进行时 was/were＋being＋done

Something must be done to stop the water from being polluted.
必须采取措施来防止水受到污染。
2．“get＋过去分词”式被动语态。
在口语和非正式的语体中，常用“get＋过去分词”表示被动语态，其中get相当于be，起助动词的作用。这种形式常用来强调结果。
The boy got hurt when he was riding to school.
那个男孩骑车去上学时受伤了。
三、主动形式表示被动意义
1．lock，open，shut，move，read，sell，wash，write等动词和well，badly，easily等副词连用，表示主语(通常是物)的内在品质或性能时是不及物动词，常用主动形式表示被动意义。
The new product sells well.
这个新产品很畅销。
2．表示开始、结束、运动的动词，如begin，finish，open，stop，move等，用主动形式表示被动意义。
The shop opens at 8：00 in the morning every day.
这家商店每天上午八点开始营业。
3．need，want，require等动词以及be worth后面，常跟动词-ing的主动形式表示被动意义。
