What truly makes people happy? What I discovered changed my life. Looking for happiness may make people stressed and 21 Even though life is getting better by nearly every standard, more people feel hopeless， sad and alone. According to the research， what causes this is not a lack（缺乏） of happiness but lack orf having 22 in life. Many psychologists（心·理学家）think of happiness as feeling comfortable or good in the moment Meaning though, is deeper The famous psychologist Marin Seligman says meaning comes from belonging(归属感)(achieving something beyond yourself),and from 23 the best inside you. Belonging purpose， transcendence（超越）, telling stories-these are the four parts of meaning. We need to build them inside our families and organization to help people 24 an excellent person. But living a meaningful life takes work. There's a long way to way to go. As each day goes by, we're creating our lives, 25 to our story. I remember a powerful experience. I had with my father. Several months after I graduated from college，my dad had a 26 heart attack（心脏病发作）.He survived， and when I asked him what was going through his mind as he faced death, he said all he could think about was needing to live. 27 he could be there for my brother and me, and this gave him the courage to fight for life. When doctors were giving him an operation, he didn't feel afraid. 28 ,he repeated our names. He wanted our names to be the last words he spoke on earth if he died. My dad lives a common, but a good life. Lying there facing death,he had a 29 to live: love. His sense of belonging inside his family, his purpose as a dad, his unusual thinking, repeating our names-these are why he survived. That's the story he tells himself. That's the 30 of meaning. Happiness comes and goes. But whether life is good or bad, having meaning gives you something to hold on to. 21. A. amazed B. cheerful C. unhappy D. comfortable 22. A. ability B. meaning C. progress D. direction 23. A. hiding B. accepting C. promising D. developing 24. A. do B. make C. invent D. succeed 25. A. adding B. changing C. attending D. continuing 26. A. crazy B. gentle C. unknown D. serious 27.A. so B. but C. though D. whether 28.A.However B.Instead C. Perhaps D. Otherwise 29. A. chance B. reason C. attention D. beginning 30. A. power B. symbol C. secret D. method 第三部分 阅读理解（共15题：每小题2，满分30分） 请认真阅读下列短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C.D四个选项中选出最在选项。 A Free eBook Library from Oxford Owl for Home Welcome to our free eBook collection, developed for children aged 3-15 years old.

If people don't want to eat out, they can just order takeout on the smartphone and wail for it to be delivered（送达），What about people living in ancient times? Did they eat takeout? In fact, there was takeout as far back as the Song Dynasty. According to history books, Emperor Xiaozong (1127-1194) liked to order takeout late at night. His servants then went around the city to pick up the dishes and bring them back to the palace. Ordinary（普通的）people also ordered take out. Restaurant waiters would go out into the streets and yell out which dishes could be ordered that day. After hearing the waiters, people could then place an order. Later, delivery workers would bring food to their homes In the famous Song Dynasty painting Along the River During the Qingming Festival（《清明上河图》），a takeout worker can be seen on a delivery with food in hand. People at that time even had a special meal box for takeout dishes. It was a long wooden box with several layers People also used warming plates made of two layers of porcelain （瓷）.Hot water could be put between them to keep dishes warm. 34. According to the passage, takeout has a long history of about years. A.900 B.1100 C.1500 D.2000 35. The underlined word "yell" in Paragraph 3 probably means A.give B send C.take D.shout 36.From the passage we can infer that A. Every emperor in the Song Dynasty liked ordering takeout B. Ordering takeout was quite popular in the Song Dynasty. C. There was no need to order takeout ahead of time in ancient times. D. The takeout box in ancient times was not environmentally friendly. 37. Which of the following can be the best title for this passage? A. The emperor who liked takeout B. The advantages of ordering takeout C. Takeout in Ancient China D. Ways to order takeout in ancient China C Do you have full confidence in your memory? Look at the two pictures and choose the one which you think is correct. Then check with the answer. Answer: The one on the right is correct. Pikachu never had a black tail in any of its various versions（各种版本）.Its yellow tail does have brown fur at its base, but there is no sign of black fur on its tail. There has been a discussion about whether it is shi or si in the sentence "Thus when Heaven is about to confer a great office on any man...”（“故天将降大任于是／斯人也”） Most people voted si as what they learned at school. However, People's Education Press (PEP),a leading publisher of Chinese textbooks, claimed on Oct. 26 that all its textbooks say shi. Supporters of si feel shocked and say they've experienced the "Mandela Effect"-the situation in which a large number of people believe that an event happened when it didn't. Many people believed that former South African president Nelson Mandela died in the 1980s in prison. However, Mandela was alive and well, eventually passing away in 2013 US researchers Fiona Broome created a website to detail her discovery of this public phenomenon,coining the term （术语） which has been in use till now. Some often joke that our memories have been changed by a strange force. In fact, psychologists have looked into the reasons for the Mandela Effect, as reported on the US-based website Verywell Mind. For example, your mind may fill in gaps missing in your memory to make more sense of it,which is called confabulation（虚构症）. However， try not to feel bad-this is not lying，but rather remembering details that never happened. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 The internet may be another reason why we tend to have Mandela Effect events, as the news we read can be false from the beginning．In 2018，Science journal（期刊）published a study of over 100,000 news stories discussed across Twitter. It showed that false news can spread faster and reach more people than the truth. As a powerful way to spread information, the internet might be the main reason for falsehood（虚假） to enter our minds. 38. Why does the writer mention the discussion about the sentence in Paragraph 3? A. To solve a mystery of Mandela Effect. B.To raise readers' interest in confabulation. C. To introduce the topic of the Mandela Effect. D. To discuss which word is the right one, si or shi. 39. Which of the following words has the closest meaning to "coining" in Paragraph 67 A. inventing. B.borrowing C.describing D.correcting 40. How does the writer further explain the Mandela Effect? A.By showing pictures. B. By giving examples. C.By presenting reasons. D.By drawing conclusions. 41.What can we infer from the passage? A. Most people know the former South African president Mandela well. B The word si or shi both existed in Chinese textbooks published by the PEP. C. If you can tell the right Pikachu, you will never suffer from the Mandela Effect. D. If you remember details that never happened you may experience the Mandela Effect. D Jo was the first to wake.

"You see, I felt ashamed of my present, so I ran round the comer and changed the little bottle for a big one and I gave all my money for it, and I'm truly trying not to be selfish any more."
