Ⅲ.阅读理解
Some people love eating food right after it is cooked. I prefer food just taken out from the freezer. Fruit, candies, nuts, chocolate, cake with buttercream frosting (糖霜),even peas, all of them taste delicious when frozen. In fact, I often eat them that way.
I was a kid when I picked up the habit. In my family, lots of things were thrown into the freezer—finally, two freezers—to prevent them from going bad. Among them were some of the candies my sisters and I had collected on Halloween.
If we eat when they are still warm, we'll find ourselves taking the cookies more than we should. It's better if we can put them into the freezer and wait. That way we'll eat less and enjoy them more because they are hard and chewing becomes a slower, more patient effort. That's the point about frozen buttercream frosting. Put it in your mouth at room temperature, and it's gone very quickly. But when it's frozen, you can enjoy the taste much longer as it melts (融化) in your mouth.
The freezer treats a lot of fruit kindly. Take frozen grapes for example. I keep a bowl of grapes in my freezer. They become a little icy, and somehow their sweetness is improved. They are perfect and healthy dessert (点心).This is the same with oranges, apples, bananas ...You might think bananas would get super-hard when frozen. Wrong! They become cool, creamy and sweet. If you have wisely covered some or all of the bananas with melted chocolate before putting them into the freezer, they will have a double taste.
As long as you aren't eating anything that truly has to be hot go ahead and experiment.

If you're bored with old-fashioned running, or if you feel that it's not a complete workout, you might want to try “crunning”. It does not mean crying while running. It's actually a cross between crawling (爬行) and running that involves getting down on all fours and moving.
The strange workout, best described as your thighs' (大腿) worst nightmare, was invented by Australian fitness enthusiast Shaun McCarthy. The video of his crunning has been getting much attention online and it has inspired others to take up running on all fours as well. Now crunning is a steadily-growing sport in Australia.
McCarthy says that crunning is a more complete workout because it involves the upper body as well. “It really works your thighs and shoulders at the same time,” he said, adding that he believes it burns more calories as well. Some fitness experts believe that McCarthy might just be onto something there. According to Kim Baylor, a certified personal trainer, any exercise that involves full body motions leaves the chance to develop a lot of strength.
However, many think crunning is likely to be out of date soon and it might even be harmful if done incorrectly. Fitness coach Kevin Dean said, “We humans are upright; our wrists have different structures than ankles. But a quadruped (四足的) animal would have four of roughly the same joint. As a result, I often see broken noses, bad wrists, and shoulder problems arising from crunning.”
Health experts suggest wearing special gloves to prevent damage to hands while crunning. It's necessary to increase the intensity (强度) of exercise step by step. Crunning may be too much for a beginner and it could be bad for your neck. If it hurts severely, stop immediately and just stick to traditional running.
【解题导语】 本文为说明文。如果你对跑步这一老式的健身方法感到厌烦,或者你觉得这不是一个全面的健身方式,你可以尝试一下澳大利亚的健身爱好者肖恩·麦卡锡发明的“酷跑”这个新花样。
1.What do we know about crunning?
A.It is running on all fours.
B.It's not a complete workout.
C.It is gaining worldwide popularity.
D.It is created to strengthen the thighs.
解析:选A 细节理解题。由第一、二段可知,麦卡锡的“酷跑”是一种四肢着地的运动,目前在澳大利亚用“酷跑”健身的人数正在逐渐增加。
2.Kim Baylor's attitude to crunning is .
A.unfavorable B.approving
C.doubtful D.cautious
解析:选B 推理判断题。由第三段“McCarthy says that crunning is a more complete workout because it involves the upper body as well.”及Kim Baylor所说的话“...any exercise that involves full body motions leaves the chance to develop a lot of strength.”可知,Kim Baylor是赞同“酷跑”这个运动的。
3.What will Kevin Dean agree with?
A.McCarthy's idea is practical.
B.Crunning is a better fitness activity.
C.Crunning is not suitable for human beings.
D.It's dangerous to take whole-body exercise.
解析:选C 推理判断题。由第四段可知,Kevin Dean说人类是直立行走,手腕的构造不同于脚踝,而四足动物在脚上有四个几乎一样的关节。因此他会认为“酷跑”不适合人类。
4.What's the advice on crunning from health experts?
A.Try to avoid using your neck.
B.Once you begin, never give up.
C.Take measures to protect your hands.
D.Go as fast as possible at the beginning.
解析:选C 细节理解题。由最后一段可知,健康专家建议在“酷跑”时戴好保护性手套以避免受伤,而且锻炼的强度应一步步逐渐增大。一旦脖子疼得厉害,应立即停止“酷跑”。
B
Some years ago, a 28-year-old Californian wife and mother of three children died from drinking too much water. Her body was found in her home shortly after she took part in a water-drinking contest that was held by a local radio show. Called “Hold Your Wee For A Wii”, the contest organizers promised a free Wii video game machine to those who drank the most water without going to the bathroom. The woman who died drank about 2 gallons of water during the contest. When she and other participants complained of discomfort and showed signs of pains, they were laughed at by the organizers.
This tragic news story shows the importance of understanding why drinking too much water can be dangerous to your health.
Consuming more water than you need can increase your total blood volume (容量). And since your blood volume exists within a closed system, increasing your blood volume puts unnecessary stress on your heart and blood vessels (血管). Your kidneys (肾) must work overtime to get rid of extra water out of your system. Your kidneys are not a pair of pipes. Flushing more water through your kidneys doesn't necessarily help it become cleaner. Rather, your kidneys can get damaged by unnecessary wear and tear over time. And drowning your system with large amounts of water is one of many potential causes of kidney damage.
Putting unnecessary stress on your system and your kidneys by consuming unnecessary water is an unnoticeable process. For the average person, it is usually impossible to know that this stress exists, as there are usually no obvious symptoms on a moment-to-moment basis. But make no mistake about it: this stress is real and can hurt your health over the long term.
【解题导语】 本文为说明文。过量饮水对我们的健康危害很大,我们应该避免过量饮水。
5.Why is the Californian woman mentioned?
A.To lead to the topic of the text.
B.To tell us a tragic news story about a mother.
C.To tell us it can be dangerous to take part in contests.
D.To tell us how much water we can drink at most one time.
解析:选A 推理判断题。本文主要是讲过量饮水对身体有害,而提到那个加州女人的故事是为了引出这个话题。
6.When the participants showed signs of pains, the organizers .
A.became very concerned
B.were laughed at by others
C.tried to reduce their pains
D.didn't pay much attention to them
解析:选D 推理判断题。由第一段“When she and other participants complained of ...laughed at by the organizers.”可知,那些组织者并没怎么在意他们。
7.What's the main idea of Paragraph 3?
A.How water is consumed in our body.
B.The importance of water to our health.
C.Why drinking too much water is dangerous.
D.The fun_ction of kidneys in consuming water.
解析:选C 段落大意题。本段主要讲过量饮水为什么对身体有害。
8.The stress caused by consuming unnecessary water .
A.isn't that dangerous
B.can never be found out
C.is really harmful in the long run
D.leads to some obvious symptoms
解析:选C 细节理解题。由最后一段“But make no ... your health over the long term.”可知,过量饮水从长远来看对健康非常有害。

Al-Azhar University
Going to a university is an important part of a person's life. Today, many people go to a university to study and train for a future job in subjects like law, medicine, or education. 1 An important one started in Egypt over one thousand years ago.
The world's oldest surviving university, Al-Azhar, is in Cairo, Egypt. It was first built as a mosque (清真寺) in A.D. 972. A few years later, learners and teachers began meeting in the mosque. They read and talked about the subjects of religion (宗教) and law. 2 Leaders in the city of Cairo decided to create a school for higher learning and soon after that, Al-Azhar University was started.
3 For these teachers at Al-Azhar, they needed to think about what courses to teach and how to teach them. The earliest courses were in law and religion. In a course, students read and studied with the teacher, but there was also free discussion. Often, students and teachers had interesting discussions, and there was no “correct” answer. In the years that followed, the new university interested scholars (学者) from around the world. 4 At Al-Azhar, people studied the past, but it was also a place for sharing new ideas.
Over a thousand years later, Al-Azhar is still an important university in the world. 5 Today, many of the world's most important universities such as Oxford and Harvard still follow the same traditions as they do at Al-Azhar.
A.A university was a new idea at that time.
B.There are many reasons to study in Egypt.
C.They came here to teach and do research.
D.Around the year 988, a new decision was made.
E.However, the university is not a modern invention.
F.The cost of university education is increasing year by year.
G.Its library contains many of the world's oldest and most valuable books.
【解题导语】 本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要介绍了世界上最古老的大学之一——爱资哈尔大学。
1.解析:选E 由该空前的“Today”和空后的“An important one ...one thousand years ago.”可知,该空与上文是转折关系,又引出下文,E项内容符合此处语境。
2.解析:选D 由该空前的“A.D. 972”, “A few years later”和空后的“Leaders ...decided to create a school”可知,此处应填D项。
3.解析:选A 由该空后的“For these teachers at Al-Azhar, they needed to think about what courses to teach and how to teach them.”可知,由于当时大学还是一个新事物,所以老师需要考虑教什么课程、怎样教的问题,故选A项。
4.解析:选C 由该空前的“the new university interested scholars (学者) from around the world”可知,C项内容符合此处语境。
5.解析:选G 由该空前的“Al-Azhar is still an important university in the world”可知,G项说法是对前面内容的补充。

“Old wives' tales” are beliefs passed down from one generation to another. For example, most of us remember our parents telling us to eat more of certain foods or not to do certain things. Is there any truth in these teachings? Some of them agree with present medical thinking, but others have not passed the test of time.
Did your mother ever tell you to eat carrots because they are good for your eyes? Scientists now report that eating carrots can help prevent a serious eye disease called macular degeneration. Eating just one carrot a day can reduce the possibility of getting this disease by 40%. Garlic is good for you, too. It can kill the type of virus that causes colds.
Unfortunately, not all of Mom's advice passed the test of medical studies. For example, generations of children have been told not to go swimming within an hour after eating. But research suggests that there is no danger in doing so. Do sweets cause tooth problems? Well, yes and no. Sticky sweets made with grains tend to cause more problems than sweets made with simple sugars.
Even though science can tell us that some of our traditional beliefs don't hold water, there is still a lot of truth in the old wives' tales. After all, much of this knowledge has been accumulated (积累) from thousands of years of experience in family health care. We should respect this body of knowledge even as we search for clear scientific support to prove it true or false.
【解题导语】 我们大多数人都记得父母告诉过我们要多吃某些食物或者不要去做某些事情。这些告诫是对的吗?实际上,其中一些是与现在的医学思想相符的,而另外一些却是经不起考验的……
1.Which of the following is TRUE according to the text?
A.Eating garlic is good for our eyes.
B.Sticky sweets are damaging to our teeth.
C.Swimming after a meal is dangerous.
D.Carrots prevent people from catching colds.
解析:选B 细节理解题。由第三段最后一句“Sticky sweets ... tend to cause more problems than sweets made with simple sugars.”可以看出,sticky sweets的确对牙齿有害。
2.The author develops the third paragraph mainly .
A.by cause and effect B.by order in space
C.by order in time D.by examples
解析:选D 推理判断题。第三段第一句是主题句。接着本段举了“饭后一小时内游泳”和“吃糖”这两个例子来支持主题句。因此,这一段主要是通过举例来论述的。
3.The phrase “hold water” in the last paragraph most probably means “ ”.
A.to be believable B.to be valuable
C.to be admirable D.to be suitable
解析:选A 词义猜测题。“don't hold water”与“there is still a lot of truth”意义相对立,那么“hold water”与“there is still a lot of truth”意义相似,因此A项正确。
4.What is the author's attitude towards “old wives' tales” in the text?
A.Subjective. B.Objective.
C.Dissatisfied. D.Curious.
解析:选B 观点态度题。综合全文,作者既指出了一些传统说法是正确的,又说明了一些传统观念是没有科学依据的。最后一段作者表明了对这些观念的尊重,因此可以看出作者的态度是客观的。

Do you love holidays but hate the increase in weight that follows? You are not alone.
Holidays are happy days with pleasure and delicious foods. Many people, however, are worried about the weight that comes along with these delicious foods.
With proper planning, though, it is possible to control your weight. The idea is to enjoy the holidays but not to eat too much. You don't have to turn away from the foods that you enjoy. The following suggestions may be of some help to you.
Don't miss meals. Before you leave home for a feast (宴会), have a small, low-fat snack. This may help to keep you from getting too excited before delicious foods.
Begin with clear soup and fruit or vegetables.
A large glass of water before you eat may help you feel full.
Use a small plate; a large plate will encourage you to have more than enough.
Better not have high-fat foods. Dishes that look oily or creamy have much fat in them.
Choose lean meat. Fill your plate with salad and green vegetables.
If you have a sweet tooth, try mints (薄荷) and fruit. They don't have fat content as cream and chocolate.
Don't let exercise take a break during the holidays. A 20-minute walk after a meal can help burn off excess calories (多余的热量).
【解题导语】 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要就如何在假期里保持体重给出了饮食方面的建议。
5.Holidays are happy days with pleasure but they may .
A.bring weight problems

第二部分 阅读理解(共两节,满分40分)
第一节 (共15小题;每小题2分,满分30分)
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。
A
If I had to choose what language to learn next, it's a tough decision but it'd probably be German because many people that know several languages tell me that German is their favourite language in terms of expressing themselves. And I think it might have something to do with the vast amount of vocabulary the German language has. So I think it'd be really difficult but a fun challenge.
Elena (Canada, teacher)
I think I'd like to learn French next because it's a very romantic (浪漫的) language and it could be very useful in different job situations. Besides, I think it could help me understand English a bit more as well, since it was previously the language of diplomacy (外交).
Bryan (USA, writer)
I'd love to learn Italian next. I visited Milan last year and I think it would be great to be able to speak to some of the locals. Also, it's quite similar to Spanish, so I don't think it would be too confusing.
Georgina (England, Olympic swimmer)
I'd really like to learn French. I actually learned it some years ago, but I haven't used it in a long time and I've forgotten it but it's a language that I really enjoy speaking, and I think France is a wonderful country.
James (New Zealand, travel writer)
【解题导语】 本文是一篇应用文。文中四人分别表述了自己最想学习的下一种语言并给出了理由。
21.One of the reasons why Bryan wants to learn French is that .
A.it is easy to learn
B.it is used frequently
C.it sounds more beautiful than English
D.it allows him to express himself more clearly
解析:选B 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“it could be very useful in different job situations”可知,在不同的工作场景中法语都非常有用。由此可推测,正是因为法语的使用频率很高,所以Bryan想学法语。
22.We can infer that Georgina .
A.will live in Milan
B.can speak Spanish
C.feels puzzled about her career
D.wants to make some Italian friends
解析:选B 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“it's quite similar to Spanish, so I don't think it would be too confusing”可推测,因为Georgina会西班牙语,所以她认为和西班牙语很像的意大利语应该不会很难学。
23.Who is the most fearless learner?
A.Elena. B.Bryan.
C.Georgina. D.James.
解析:选A 推理判断题。根据第一段中的“... the vast amount of vocabulary the German language has. So I think it'd be really difficult but a fun challenge.”可知,Elena明明知道德语的词汇量很大,学起来会很困难,但仍然想去尝试学德语,并认为这是项很有趣的挑战。由此不难看出,Elena是个不畏困难的学习者。
B
What will man be like in the future—in 5,000 or even 50,000 years from now? We can only make guesses, of course, but we can be sure that he will be different from what he is today, for man is slowly changing all the time.
Let us take an obvious example. Man, even five hundred years ago, was shorter than he is today. Now, on average, men are about three inches taller. Five hundred years is relatively a short period of time, so we may assume that man will continue to grow taller. Again, in the modern world we use our brains a great deal. Even so, we still make use of only about 20% of the brain's capacity. As time goes on, however, we shall have to use our brains more and more, and eventually we shall need larger ones! This is likely to bring about a physical change to the head, in particular, the forehead will grow larger.
Nowadays our eyes are in constant use. In fact, we use them so much that very often they become weaker and we have to wear glasses. But over a very long period of time it is likely that man's eyes will grow stronger.
On the other hand, we tend to make less use of our arms and legs. These, as a result, are likely to grow weaker. At the same time, however, our fingers will grow more sensitive because they are used a great deal in modern life.
But what about hair? This will probably disappear from the body altogether in course of time because it does not serve a useful purpose any longer. In the future, then, both sexes are likely to be bald (光秃的).
Perhaps all these give the impression that in the future man will not be a very attractive creature to look at!This may well be true. All the same, in spite of all these changes, future man will still have a lot in common with us. He will still be a human being,with thoughts and emotions similar to our own.
【解题导语】 本文对未来人会变成什么样子进行了分析和想象。
24.The passage mainly tells us that .
A.man's life will be different in the future
B.future man will look quite different from us
C.man is growing taller and uglier as time passes
D.man's organs' functions will be on the wane (衰退)
解析:选B 主旨大意题。由第一段可知本文主要介绍未来人类的外貌可能会出现的变化。C项只是其中的一个方面。
25.The change in man's size of forehead is probably because .
A.he/she makes use only 20% of the brain's capacity
B.his/her brain has grown larger over the past centuries
C.the other 80% of his/her brain will grow in due time
D.he/she will use his brain more and more as time goes on
解析:选D 细节理解题。由第二段最后两句说人类将更多地使用大脑,最终大脑变大,前额变大可知答案。
26.Which of the following is TRUE about a human being in the future?
A.He is hairless because hair is no longer useful.
B.He has smaller eyes and wears better glasses.
C.His fingers grow weaker because he doesn't have to make use of them.
D.He thinks and feels in different ways.
解析:选A 正误判断题。第五段指出人类的头发可能会消失,因为“... it does not serve a useful purpose any longer.”,即头发失去作用。
27.It is implied that .
A.human beings will become less attractive in the future
B.less use of a bodily organ may lead to its degeneration
C.human beings hope for a change in the future life
D.future life is always predictable
解析:选B 推理判断题。从人类身体变化可以看出,经常使用的,如大脑、手指将变得发达,而不常用的如头发、四肢会退化。
C
That most Americans are falling short of the recommended eight hours of sleep per night is nothing new. Over time, staying awake in the night can come with a high cost. You should stop your night owl (夜猫子) habit.
Compared with people who turn in early, those who go to bed very late are more likely to suffer from repeated negative thoughts. The findings suggest that sleep disruption (扰乱) could actually be linked to the development of negative thoughts. Psychologists suggest that focusing on good sleep habits can help.
Have you been getting into a lot of arguments lately? There's one easy way to fix that. Too little sleep tends to leave people feeling bad-tempered and stressed. It means that little things that might not normally be a big deal can cause you to fly off the handle. The result is more misunderstandings with those around you. Being well rested, on the other hand, will help you control your temper and you'll get along better with others.
According to AAA Foundation reports, people who sleep six to seven hours are twice as likely to have a car accident as those who sleep for eight hours or more when driving. People who sleep for five hours or less increase their risk up to fivefold. Go for 24 hours without sleeping, and your skills behind the wheel are the same as someone who is drunk.
Research suggests that the less sleep you get, the more likely you are to be overweight. How so? When you lack sleep, you have less energy to exercise or make healthy food choices. Plus, studies show that the later you stay up, the more you eat. Night owls who stay up until 4 a.m. eat about 550 more calories than early birds who go to sleep at 10 p.m..
【解题导语】 本文为说明文。晚睡有害健康,因此我们一定要尽量早一点睡,这样才能保持身体健康。
28.According to Paragraph 2, not getting enough sleep can .
A.affect your living habits
B.make you become pessimistic
C.make you suffer from diseases
D.make you lose interest in everything
解析:选B 推理判断题。由第二段“The findings suggest that sleep disruption ... negative thoughts.”可知,睡眠不足可能会让你变得悲观。
29.What does the underlined part “fly off the handle” in Paragraph 3 mean?
A.Fly away. B.Get very angry.
C.Become very busy. D.Become disappointed.
解析:选B 词义猜测题。由第三段画线部分前后的“Too little sleep tends to leave people feeling bad-tempered and stressed.”以及“The result is more misunderstandings with those around you.”可推断,画线部分是指“发怒”。
30.According to the last two paragraphs, people who lack sleep .
A.care less about their safety
B.are more likely to get drunk
C.cook at home much more frequently
D.may find it hard to keep a healthy weight
解析:选D 细节理解题。由最后一段“Research suggests that the less sleep you get, the more likely you are to be overweight.”可知,你睡得越少,越容易超重。故选D。
31.What is the text mainly about?
A.The harm of staying up late.
B.Some reasons for a lack of sleep.
C.The importance of eating healthy.
D.The process of forming a good habit.
解析:选A 主旨大意题。由文章内容可知,本文围绕晚睡的危害展开。
D
The Internet of Things (IoT) aims to get everything and everyone talking. Attaching sensors (传感器) to “things”, such as cows, cars and refrigerators, and then giving them unique IP addresses allow them to “talk” to the Internet. Networking company Cisco says that 50 billion Internet-connected devices and objects will be sending data by 2020.
But getting back to those cows, cars and refrigerators, what types of data might they actually send? Cows might send their locations or physical conditions. Cars might communicate low oil levels and automatically schedule their own maintenance (维修). And refrigerators might send owners text messages reminding them it's time to buy milk and eggs.
The IoT will allow people to track things and processes like never before. Airplane manufacturers will be able to continuously track the condition of airplane parts, allowing them to do preventive (预防性的) maintenance and avoid costly downtime. Consumers could place smart devices in their homes to monitor energy usage and observe energy price changes in real time. That would allow people to change their habits and use electrical appliances during lower-priced hours.
Some critics fear that the IoT could end up being a fad (流行) that people lose interest in over time. Other critics are doubtful that companies making Internet-connected appliances will provide long-term software updates. If that happens, a refrigerator or washing machine that should last 10 years or more could last two or three due to software that's outdated.
Early this year, owners of the Tesla Model S electric car received a recall notice reminding them of a charger plug needing to be fixed. Amazingly, owners of the Model S sat back while the company performed an “over the air”wireless update. Customers confirmed the update by tapping on the car's touch screen to see that the Model S was running the latest software version. No trip to the dealer was required!
Perhaps Tesla's remote fix is a sign of things to come. Someday soon, people's lives might become a lot more efficient and convenient thanks to the IoT.
【解题导语】 本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了什么是物联网——物联网指把各种物体与信息传感设备相结合形成一个巨大网络,其目的是方便用户识别和管理。
32.What can we learn from Paragraphs 2 & 3?
A.How the IoT works.
B.Why the IoT is so popular.
C.Who will benefit from the IoT.
D.What problems the IoT is facing.
解析:选A 段落大意题。第二段是对“what types of data might they actually send?”的解释,而第三段进一步解释了物联网的功能,这些都是对物联网如何运转的介绍。
33.The example of the Tesla Model S electric car is used to show .
A.the complexity of the IoT
B.the convenience of the IoT
C.the value of the Tesla electric car
D.the popularity of the Tesla electric car
解析:选B 推理判断题。由倒数第二段的“owners of the Model S sat back while the company performed an ‘over the air' wireless update”可知,汽车车主只需要坐着等待就可以享受维修升级服务,故该事例说明了物联网的便捷性。
34.What's the author's attitude towards the future of the IoT?
A.Hopeful. B.Worried.
C.Doubtful. D.Disappointed.
解析:选A 观点态度题。由最后一段的“Someday soon, people's lives might become a lot more efficient and convenient thanks to the IoT.”可知,作者对物联网的未来充满了希望。
35.What would be the best title for the text?
A.Fad is disappearing! B.It's time to change!
C.Internet is coming! D.It's all connected!
解析:选D 标题归纳题。本文是对物联网的介绍——物联网指把各种物体与信息传感设备相结合形成一个巨大网络,其目的是方便用户识别和管理。D项中的“connected”一词正好说明了物联网把各种物品和网络连接起来的这一特性。
第二节 (共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)
根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Too often an inappropriate view gets around us that it is our physical conditions that make us happy or unhappy. As a consequence, physical conditions have been overstated.
36 , that is, good standard of living, high goals that we want to obtain, surrounding ourselves with a nice house, nice car, nice clothes, etc. 37 . But many times once we obtain our goals and are surrounded by what we thought would make us happy, we are still unhappy.
Also on the other end of the stick, many, many people are unhappy now, because they have not obtained their goals and 38 , which, consequently, adds to their dissatisfaction with life.
So this is why so many people keep themselves for most of their lives in a state of “incompleteness” and unhappiness, and this is why so many super successful people still aren't happy. The reason is that 39 . They think that the Universe should give them what they want first and then they'll be happy. But that just puts a barrier in between them and happiness because of the way the Universe is set up.
The message here is to understand that your desires tell you where you want to put your focus in your life, however, 40 .You make yourself happy from the inside out, not the outside in. Do not require certain conditions be met for your happiness, because it won't work anyway.
A.We have different ways to get what really makes us happy
B.they don't have what they want in life
C.We set out to get happy by trying to control all the wonderful conditions around ourselves
D.they are never there to be found in life
E.they should not control your happiness in this moment
F.We may think this is the key to our happiness
G.they don't realize how to get happy
【解题导语】 本文是一篇议论文。本文谈论的是人们认为的幸福实际上并没有给人们带来幸福,作者就如何才能得到真正的幸福提出了自己的观点。
36.解析:选C 根据上文中的“physical conditions”及下文中的“good standard of living ...nice clothes”可知,C项“我们通过努力掌控我们身边美好的物质条件来获取幸福”与上文相呼应,与“that is”后面的解释也一致。故选C。
37.解析:选F 根据语境可知,很多时候当我们拥有了良好的生活标准,实现了我们想要的目标,拥有了漂亮的房子、车子、衣服时,我们可能就认为这是幸福的关键所在了。F项“我们可能会认为这就是幸福的关键了”衔接上文,并与下文构成转折,符合语境。故选F。
38.解析:选B 根据语境可知,此处分析了不快乐的人的心理。根据“because they have not obtained their goals”可知,许多人不快乐是因为没有达到目标,and连接和前面并列的内容。B项“他们没有拥有生活中想要的”也是人们不快乐的原因,并且和下文联系紧密。故选B。
39.解析:选G 上文提到,拥有了良好物质条件的人仍然感到不幸福,没有达到目标的人也感到不幸福,此处作者给出他们感到不幸福的理由,因为“他们没有意识到如何获得快乐”。由此可知,G项与上文衔接紧密。故选G。
40.解析:选E 上文提到,本文传递的信息就是要让你明白,你的欲望会告诉你,在生活中要看重什么。由however可知,后面的内容应与前面的叙述形成对比,所以E项“这时这些欲望不应该左右你的幸福感”符合语境。故选E。

I had hardly sat down on the train and opened a bar of chocolate 61 a really old man with huge bags sat down across from me.I said hello 62 him, smiling sweetly and then I suddenly thought,“Why not offer him a piece of chocolate?” So I did.He was quite 63 (surprise), but accepted and thanked me.He said that people didn't usually do things like this for 64 (strange)—at least that was what I understood, because he was speaking a really 65 (usual) dialect, and the train was loud.
Then he opened one of his bags and gave me 66 handful of freshly picked cherries, 67 (explain) that he had just taken them from his orchard.The cherries were really lovely, better than those in the shops, and I enjoyed them very much.It had been just an impulse (冲动) to offer him a piece of chocolate, but if I 68 (do) so, I would never have tasted those lovely cherries, 69 I didn't even know he had at the time.Life is about giving and taking, and it's 70 (general) true that if you give, you will receive.
【解题导语】 本文讲述了作者的一次生活经历,启迪读者:给予和索取是相互的。
61.解析:hardly ...when ...意为“一……就……”,为固定用法,故用连词when引导时间状语从句。
答案:when
62.解析:say hello to sb.意为“向某人问好”,故填介词to。
答案:to
63.解析:此处是过去分词作形容词,在句子中作表语,修饰人。
答案:surprised
64.解析:根据语境可知,此处表示“陌生人”,应用名词形式stranger,又因stranger是可数名词,故用复数形式。
答案:strangers
65.解析:根据“at least that was what I understood”可推知,老人说的方言很不同寻常。
答案:unusual
66.解析:固定搭配a handful of意为“一把……”,故填不定冠词a。
答案:a

答案:explaining
