阅读下面短文，根据所读内容在文后的空格里填上适当的单词或短语。注意：每空不超过三个单词。
Scientists find that hard-working people live longer and healthier than average people.
Why is work good for health It is because work keeps people busy, away from loneliness. Studies show that people feel unhappy, worried and lonely when they have nothing to do. Instead, they feel happy when they are busy. Work serves as a bridge between man and reality. Through work, people come into contact with each other. This is helpful to health. The loss of work means the loss of everything. It affects people spiritually and makes them liable to disease. Besides, work gives one a sense of achievement. Work makes one feel his value and status in society. When a writer finishes his writing or a doctor successfully operates on a patient or a teacher sees his students grow, they are happy beyond words.
From the above, we can learn that the more you work, the happier and healthier you will be. Let us work hard and study well and live a happy and healthy life.

第二部分 阅读理解（共5 小题；每小题2分，满分1０分）
阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并把答案转写在答题卡上。
Researchers found that people become happier and experience less worry after they reach the age of fifty. In fact, they say by the age of eighty-five, people are happier with their life than they were when they were eighteen years old.
The findings came from a survey of more than 340,000 adults in the United States. The Gallup(民意调查) Organization questioned them by telephone in 2008. At that time, the people were between the ages of eighteen and eighty-five.
The researchers asked questions about emotions like happiness, sadness and worry. They also asked about emotional stress(情感压力).
Arthur Stone at Stony Brook University in New York led the study. His team found that levels of stress were highest among adults between the ages of twenty-two and twenty-five. The findings showed that stress levels dropped sharply after people reached their fifties. Happiness was highest among the youngest adults and those in their early seventies. The people least likely to report negative emotions were those in their seventies and eighties.
Researchers say they do not know why happiness increases as people get older. One theory is that, as people grow older, they grow more thankful for what they have and have better control of their emotions. They also spend less time thinking about bad experiences.
Professor Stone says the emotional patterns could be related to changes in how people see the world, or maybe even changes in brain chemistry.
The researchers also considered possible influences like having young children, being unemployed or being single. But they found that influences like these did not affect the levels of happiness related to age.
The study also showed that men and women have similar emotional patterns as they grow older. However, women at all ages reported more sadness, stress and worry than men.
( ) 9. What can be the best title of the text
A. Happiness Varies with Ages B. Experience More, Worry Less
C. The Older, the Wiser D. Being Young, Being Happy
( ) 10. We can learn from the research that _________.
A. only when people get older will they feel happier
B. stress levels among the youngest are the highest
C. older people tend to be thankful
D. older people usually have no worries
( ) 11. According to the research, when people get older, _________.
A. they miss the old days B. they are physically weak
C. they have better self-control D. they are more emotional
( ) 12. What would the author probably talk about next
A. What influences happiness. B. How to live better.
C. How to keep happier. D. Why women are less happier.
( ) 13. The author is intended to _________.
A. advise how to reduce stress B. introduce a scientific finding
C. describe how to do research D. talk about human emotions
第三部分 回答问题（共3小题；满分8分）
阅读下面短文，根据第14 至第16小题的具体要求，简单回答问题，并把答案转写在答题卡上。
Many of the problems facing today’s world aren’t news to us. Hunger is widespread throughout the world. What’s more, environment being damaged and unemployment are becoming more and more serious. Therefore, individuals across the globe need to work together to make all the difference in the world.
For instance, one person recycling a can or a bottle doesn’t seem to make a big difference. But if every family in a city were to recycle energy, that city could make a huge positive impact on environmental damage. Similarly, there are countless ways to help fight world hunger—Firstly, we can donate money to a dedicated worldwide charity. Secondly, donating canned goods to your local charity is also a good way to fight world hunger. Finally it is suggested that we should make lifestyle changes like going vegetarian. World hunger is a massive problem—but it doesn’t mean individuals themselves can’t make a difference.
Unemployment is another huge problem. All across the world—particularly in developing countries—workers are forced to work long hours, with almost no pay. Yet these workers continue such a way of life, because they have no other choices.
So, how can people like us help fight such a big problem Simply raising awareness of the products you buy in stores—from clothing to food—is a massive start.
In short, we should call on everyone to work together to fight against widespread social problems.
14. How many ways to fight world hunger are mentioned in Paragraph 2

Scientists find that hard-working people live longer and healthier than average people.
Why is work good for health It is because work keeps people busy, away from loneliness. Studies show that people feel unhappy, worried and lonely when they have nothing to do. Instead, they feel happy when they are busy. Work serves as a bridge between man and reality. Through work, people come into contact with each other. This is helpful to health. The loss of work means the loss of everything. It affects people spiritually and makes them liable to disease. Besides, work gives one a sense of achievement. Work makes one feel his value and status in society. When a writer finishes his writing or a doctor successfully operates on a patient or a teacher sees his students grow, they are happy beyond words.
From the above, we can learn that the more you work, the happier and healthier you will be. Let us work hard and study well and live a happy and healthy life.

Researchers found that people become happier and experience less worry after they reach the age of fifty. In fact, they say by the age of eighty-five, people are happier with their life than they were when they were eighteen years old.
The findings came from a survey of more than 340,000 adults in the United States. The Gallup(民意调查) Organization questioned them by telephone in 2008. At that time, the people were between the ages of eighteen and eighty-five.
The researchers asked questions about emotions like happiness, sadness and worry. They also asked about emotional stress(情感压力).
Arthur Stone at Stony Brook University in New York led the study. His team found that levels of stress were highest among adults between the ages of twenty-two and twenty-five. The findings showed that stress levels dropped sharply after people reached their fifties. Happiness was highest among the youngest adults and those in their early seventies. The people least likely to report negative emotions were those in their seventies and eighties.
Researchers say they do not know why happiness increases as people get older. One theory is that, as people grow older, they grow more thankful for what they have and have better control of their emotions. They also spend less time thinking about bad experiences.
Professor Stone says the emotional patterns could be related to changes in how people see the world, or maybe even changes in brain chemistry.
The researchers also considered possible influences like having young children, being unemployed or being single. But they found that influences like these did not affect the levels of happiness related to age.
The study also showed that men and women have similar emotional patterns as they grow older. However, women at all ages reported more sadness, stress and worry than men.
( ) 9. What can be the best title of the text
A. Happiness Varies with Ages B. Experience More, Worry Less
C. The Older, the Wiser D. Being Young, Being Happy
( ) 10. We can learn from the research that _________.
A. only when people get older will they feel happier
B. stress levels among the youngest are the highest
C. older people tend to be thankful
D. older people usually have no worries
( ) 11. According to the research, when people get older, _________.
A. they miss the old days B. they are physically weak
C. they have better self-control D. they are more emotional
( ) 12. What would the author probably talk about next
A. What influences happiness. B. How to live better.
C. How to keep happier. D. Why women are less happier.
( ) 13. The author is intended to _________.
A. advise how to reduce stress B. introduce a scientific finding

阅读下面短文，根据第14 至第16小题的具体要求，简单回答问题，并把答案转写在答题卡上。
Many of the problems facing today’s world aren’t news to us. Hunger is widespread throughout the world. What’s more, environment being damaged and unemployment are becoming more and more serious. Therefore, individuals across the globe need to work together to make all the difference in the world.
For instance, one person recycling a can or a bottle doesn’t seem to make a big difference. But if every family in a city were to recycle energy, that city could make a huge positive impact on environmental damage. Similarly, there are countless ways to help fight world hunger—Firstly, we can donate money to a dedicated worldwide charity. Secondly, donating canned goods to your local charity is also a good way to fight world hunger. Finally it is suggested that we should make lifestyle changes like going vegetarian. World hunger is a massive problem—but it doesn’t mean individuals themselves can’t make a difference.
Unemployment is another huge problem. All across the world—particularly in developing countries—workers are forced to work long hours, with almost no pay. Yet these workers continue such a way of life, because they have no other choices.
So, how can people like us help fight such a big problem Simply raising awareness of the products you buy in stores—from clothing to food—is a massive start.
In short, we should call on everyone to work together to fight against widespread social problems.

I find it hard to live in the same dormitory with one of my roommates. I’m writing to ask your advice on how to get along with her.
She is really noisy. She often speaks loudly and makes much noise while eating and walking.
Besides, she always makes calls when others are having a rest. Worse still, she doesn’t clean the dormitory and throws rubbish everywhere in the dormitory.
To solve this problem, I have talked with her several times. Every time she promises to get rid of her bad habits but she behaves in the same way as before.
I don’t want to let a small disagreement to destroy the friendship between us. I’d appreciate it if you can give me some advice on how to improve the situation.
Looking forward to your reply.
Yours,
Lily
