●ⅠA
【文章大意】 本文是一篇记叙文,主要讲的是Ernest Owusu受到撒切尔夫人的影响,从而改变了自己的人生的故事。
1.D 推理判断题。根据第二段“At the time of their meeting, Owusu was on free school meals, living on a public estate in Brixton, south London, where he and his sister were being raised by their mother Rose, a struggling hairdresser.”可知,Owusu在13岁时生活在社会的底层。故选D。
2.A 词义猜测题。根据第三段“To this day it still has an impact. My confidence changed…”可知,从那一刻Owusu的信心改变了,说明那是一个转折点,sliding-door moment的意思是“转折点”,和turning point意思相近,故选A。
3.D 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“Because so often people have said to me if you’re in your job you’ve got to be soft and warm and human, but you’ve got to have a touch of steel.”和“She welcomed the question saying you’ve got to be firm in this world. And that stuck with me.”可知,撒切尔夫人坚信强硬的必要性使Owusu发生了巨大的变化。故选D。
4.C 主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是根据第三段“Speaking in the clubhouse, Owusu describes his rise in social status (地位) as a ‘Thatcherite Journey’. And he says it began by asking the woman herself. ‘To this day it still has an impact. My confidence changed from that sliding-door moment. Something about her connected with me.’”可知,本文主要内容是Ernest Owusu受到撒切尔夫人的影响,从而改变了自己的人生,因此最恰当的标题是C选项(一次改变人生的会面)。故选C。
B
【文章大意】 本文是一篇说明文。布里斯托大学于2018年推出了幸福科学课程,这门课程背后的研究小组最近发布了一项新的研究报告称:我们可以学习如何变得幸福。
5.B 细节理解题。根据第一段“Now, the research team behind that class has released a new study reporting it really is possible to learn how to be happy.”以及第三段“This project is the first ever to track the well-being of students who had taken a happiness course long after the class ended.”可知,这门课程为这个研究小组提供了研究平台。故选B。
6.C 推理判断题。根据第二段“Their work shows that increases in well-being among students are ultimately short-lived—unless individuals practise what’s been taught during the course for ages.”可知,他们的研究表明,学生幸福感的提高最终是短暂的,除非个人长期使用课程中所教授的内容;再根据第三段“It’s like going to the gym—we can’t expect to do one class and be fit forever.”可推知,Prof.Hood提到gym是在举例说明:要学习如何提高幸福感,必须要坚持长期实践该课程所学的内容,这就像去健身房一样,不能指望上一堂课就能永远保持好身材。故选C。
7.C 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“What we teach is related to positive psychology interventions (干预) that take your attention away from yourself, by helping others, being with friends, or thankfulness…”以及“This is the opposite of the current principle, but countless studies have shown that getting out of our own heads helps get us away from negative thinking.”可知,the current principle关注的是“自我”,这容易造成负面思维,而幸福科学课程关注的是“与他人交往”,由此可推断“给自己花钱”属于the current principle。故选C。
8.B 推理判断题。根据全文和第一段的“Now, the research team behind that class has released a new study reporting it really is possible to learn how to be happy.”可知,本文主要介绍了幸福科学课程背后的研究团队对幸福进行研究所得到的成果:我们可以学会幸福,同时,我们要持续实践课程所教的方法,比如帮助他人,感恩他人等,这种幸福才能长久。由此可推断作者的写作目的是展示一项关于幸福的新研究结果。故选B。
●Ⅱ【文章大意】 本文是一篇说明文。最近的一项研究表明,将不适作为一个直接目标比你专注于你想学的东西更有可能激励你。
1.what 考查宾语从句。空处引导宾语从句,从句缺少宾语,指物,应用what。故填what。
2.to participate 考查非谓语动词。短语assign sb to do sth表示“指派某人做某事”。故填to participate。
3.uncomfortable 考查形容词。此处表示学生在这个过程中的目标是“感到尴尬和不舒服”,故应用形容词uncomfortable。故填uncomfortable。
4.were told 考查动词时态、语态和主谓一致。主语与谓语构成被动关系,且发生在过去,应用一般过去时的被动语态,此处主语为复数意义,谓语用复数。故填were told。
5.greater 考查形容词比较级。根据前文longer than可知,此处表示“更大的”,应用形容词比较级。故填greater。
6.growth 考查名词。作介词的宾语,应用名词。故填growth。
7.produced 考查动词时态。根据前文动词时态可知,此处描述过去发生的事情,用一般过去时。故填produced。

●Ⅰ 阅读理解
A [2024·江苏南京、盐城高三二模]
文体:记叙文 主题:人与自我 词数:316
Ernest Owusu was 13 in 1980 when he was given the opportunity to appear in the audience of a BBC show, and ask Thatcher how she felt about being called the Iron Lady. This encounter re-emerged in a BBC’s programme recently.
At the time of their meeting, Owusu was on free school meals, living on a public estate in Brixton, south London, where he and his sister were being raised by their mother Rose, a struggling hairdresser.
Now 57, Owusu looks remarkably similar even with a greying beard. But his life has been transformed. The father of three is a human resources director, and the first black captain of the Addington golf club in its 110-year history. As a black guy, it is about breaking the glass ceiling. Speaking in the clubhouse, Owusu describes his rise in social status (地位) as a “Thatcherite Journey”. And he says it began by asking the woman herself. “To this day it still has an impact. My confidence changed from that sliding-door moment. Something about her connected with me.”
Thatcher told Owusu she enjoyed being called the Iron Lady. “I think it’s rather a praise, don’t you ” she said. “Because so often people have said to me if you’re in your job you’ve got to be soft and warm and human, but you’ve got to have a touch of steel.” Owusu recalls the moment, “I just remember her eye contact.

文体:说明文 主题:人与自我 词数:341
Can happiness be obtained—by learning about it in school The University of Bristol’s Science of Happiness course, which was launched in 2018, is helping answer that question. Not your typical college class, the innovative course features absolutely no tests or work. Instead it focuses on teaching students what the latest studies in psychology suggest really makes people happy. Now, the research team behind that class has released a new study reporting it really is possible to learn how to be happy.
Thanks to their course, researchers had already established that teaching students about the latest scientific studies focusing on happiness results in a notable improvement in well-being. During this latest project, they took things a step further. Their work shows that increases in well-being among students are ultimately short-lived—unless individuals practise what’s been taught during the course for ages.
“It’s like going to the gym—we can’t expect to do one class and be fit forever. Just as with physical health, we have to continuously work on our mental health, otherwise the improvements are temporary,” explains senior study author Professor Bruce Hood. Students who took the happiness course reported a 10 to 15 percent improvement in well-being. However, only those who continued practising what they learned during the course reported sustained improved well-being upon being surveyed again two years later. This project is the first ever to track the well-being of students who had taken a happiness course long after the class ended.
“To gain more information about happiness, we’ll continue studying. What we teach is related to positive psychology interventions (干预) that take your attention away from yourself, by helping others, being with friends, or thankfulness,” Prof. Hood said. “This is the opposite of the current principle, but countless studies have shown that getting out of our own heads helps get us away from negative thinking.”
Prof.Hood recently turned the course into a new book, released earlier this month.The Science of Happiness: Seven Lessons for Living Well details an evidence-informed road map to better well-being.
( )5.What do we know about Science of Happiness course
A.It’s an analysis of students’ exams.
B.It’s a research platform for the team.
C.It’s the team’s theoretical foundation.
D.It’s the collection of research processes.
( )6.Why does Prof. Hood mention “the gym” in Paragraph 3
A.To offer a solution.
B.To make a prediction.
C.To illustrate an idea.
D.To raise a question.
( )7.Which of the following belongs to the current principle
A.Talking to strangers.
B.Giving gifts to others.
C.Spending money on oneself.
D.Walking in nature with friends.
( )8.What’s the author’s purpose in writing the text
A.To assess a new way to study happiness.
B.To show a new study result on happiness.
C.To comment on a book about happiness.
D.To stress the need of gaining happiness.

We’ve all heard the advice “to get out of your comfort zone” by taking on a new challenge. A recent study goes a step further: make discomfort a direct goal. That’s more likely to motivate you than if you focus on 1. you hope to learn.
In the first of five experiments, the researchers assigned several hundred students training at Second City Chicago 2. (participate) in a small-group improvisation (即兴) exercise, and then instructed half of the group that their goal during the session was “to feel awkward and 3. (comfortable)”. The rest, those in the control group, 4. (tell) to “feel yourself developing new skills”. Members of the first group kept at the exercise longer than the others did and took 5. (great) risks. Experiments involving other dimensions of personal 6. (grow)—engaging in expressive writing, learning about gun violence, and hearing about opposing political beliefs—7. (produce) similar results.
Reframing anxiety as excitement has been proven a way to improve singing in front of strangers, and 8. (think) of stress as a means to boost achievement is a demonstrated stress-management technique.
“When people reinterpret negative experiences as functional, they are more willing to engage 9. tasks that call forth those experiences,” the researchers explain. “Instead of seeing discomfort as unrelated to the goal 10. a signal to stop, they will start perceiving it as a sign of progress towards their goal.”

文体：记叙文 主题：人与自我 词数：316
Ernest Owusu was 13 in 1980 when he was given the
opportunity to appear in the audience of a BBC show, and ask
Thatcher how she felt about being called the Iron Lady. This
encounter re-emerged in a BBC's programme recently.

At the time of their meeting, Owusu was on free school
meals, living on a public estate in Brixton, south London, where
he and his sister were being raised by their mother Rose, a
struggling hairdresser.
Now 57, Owusu looks remarkably similar even with a
greying beard. But his life has been transformed. The father of
three is a human resources director, and the first black captain
of the Addington golf club in its 110-year history. As a black
guy, it is about breaking the glass ceiling.

Speaking in the clubhouse, Owusu describes his rise in social
status (地位) as a “Thatcherite Journey”. And he says it began
by asking the woman herself. “To this day it still has an impact.
My confidence changed from that sliding-door moment.
Something about her connected with me.”
Thatcher told Owusu she enjoyed being called the Iron
Lady. “I think it's rather a praise, don't you ” she said. “Because
so often people have said to me if you're in your job you've
got to be soft and warm and human, but you've got to have a

touch of steel.” Owusu recalls the moment, “I just remember her
eye contact. She was answering me, not the camera. She
welcomed the question saying you've got to be firm in this
world. And that stuck with me.”
After the show was broadcast, Owusu said he became “a
little hero in Brixton for a good three months”. Owusu added,
“It all gave me extra confidence. Doors might not have opened
so quickly. It was one of those key moments to make you do
things maybe you wouldn't otherwise have done.”

B[2024·河南、山西高三大联考]
文体：说明文 主题：人与自我 词数：341
Can happiness be obtained—by learning about it in school
The University of Bristol's Science of Happiness course, which
was launched in 2018, is helping answer that question. Not your
typical college class, the innovative course features absolutely
no tests or work. Instead it focuses on teaching students what
the latest studies in psychology suggest really makes people
happy. Now, the research team behind that class has released a
1
2

new study reporting it really is possible to learn how to be
happy.
Thanks to their course, researchers had already established
that teaching students about the latest scientific studies focusing
on happiness results in a notable improvement in well-being.
During this latest project, they took things a step further. Their
work shows that increases in well-being among students are
ultimately short-lived—unless individuals practise what's been
taught during the course for ages.

“It's like going to the gym—we can't expect to do one
class and be fit forever. Just as with physical health, we have to
continuously work on our mental health, otherwise the
improvements are temporary,” explains senior study author
Professor Bruce Hood. Students who took the happiness course
reported a 10 to 15 percent improvement in well-being.
However, only those who continued practising what they learned
during the course reported sustained improved well-being upon
being surveyed again two years later.

This project is the first ever to track the well-being of students
who had taken a happiness course long after the class ended.
“To gain more information about happiness, we'll continue
studying. What we teach is related to positive psychology
interventions (干预) that take your attention away from yourself,
by helping others, being with friends, or thankfulness,” Prof.
Hood said. “This is the opposite of the current principle, but
countless studies have shown that getting out of our own heads
helps get us away from negative thinking.”

非个人长期使用课程中所教授的内容；再根据第三段“It's like going
