B Things like yoga or lively music may help us when we feel down. But nature documentaries could be just as good in helping reduce stress. This is according to the research by BBC Worldwide’s research team and Dacher Keltner, an expert in the science of emotion (情绪) at the University of California, Berkeley, US. As the researchers found out, watching nature programs like Planet Earth has direct and uplifting (令人开心的) benefits on the emotion and health of their viewers. During the research, named “The Real Happiness Project’’, Keltner and his workmates studied 7,500 participants (参与者) from the US, UK, Singapore, India, South Africa and Australia. The participants were asked to fill in surveys about their emotions before watching clips (片段) of Planet Earth, dramas and news stories. Their reactions were then recorded with facial mapping technology and psychometric (心理测量的) tests. Results showed that women are more likely to experience dramatic (急剧的) emotional changes than men when they watch nature documentaries. People aged between 16 and 24 showed the most decrease (减少) in feelings of nervousness and tiredness. Keltner explained that the findings mean that our connection to nature could greatly improve cognitive (认知的) performance such as attention and sense of calm. In turn, it made us more effective teamworkers and could even improve our physical health. “The changes in emotion as a result of watching this powerful natural history series are important as we know that wonder and satisfaction are the foundations (基础) of human happiness.” Keltner told the Daily Mail. 23. What might help people reduce stress according to the passage? A. TV dramas. B. Science’ magazines. C. Nature documentaries. 24. What does Paragraph 3 mainly talk about? A. The participants in the research. B. The process of the research. C. The results of the research. 25. We can learn from the results that _______. A. women are less likely to experience emotional changes B. teenagers can reduce nervousness and tiredness easily C. feeling connected to nature improves cognitive performance 26. According to Keltner, watching nature programs can _______. A. bring some important changes in emotion B. help us better learn about the world we live in C. directly improve our physical condition C A young man went to the boss of a logging crew (伐木队) and asked for a job. “That depends,” replied the boss. “Let’s see you fell this tree.” The young man stepped forward and skillfully felled a big tree. The boss was amazed and said, “You can start on Monday.” Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday went by, and Thursday afternoon the boss went to the young man and said, “You can pick up your wages (薪水) on your way out today.” The young man was very surprised. He replied. “I thought you would pay on Friday.” “Usually we do,” the boss said. “But we’re letting you go today because you’ve fallen behind. Our daily felling charts (日程表) show that you’ve dropped from first place on Monday to last place today.” “But I’m quite hardworking,” the young man argued. “I am the first to arrive, and the last to leave, and even work during my coffee breaks!” The boss thought for a minute and then asked, “Have you sharpened your axe (斧子)?” The young man replied, “No, sir. I’ve been working too hard to take time for that!” Our lives are like this. We sometimes get so busy that we don’t take time to “sharpen the axe”. There’s nothing wrong with working hard. But we all need time to relax, to think, to learn and grow. If we don’t take time to relax, we will feel dull and lose our effectiveness (效率). 27. The young man got paid a day early because _______. A. the boss wanted to reward him B. he wanted to take the next day off C. the boss was asking him to leave 28. How did the young man do his work? A. He spent too much time sharpening his axe. B.

The young man is good at logging trees. B. The young man is the best in the logging crew. C. The boss usually pays the workers on Friday. 30. What does the story tell us? A. Where there is a will, there is a way. B. Sharpening the axe will not put off your effect. C. Hard work can make up for a lack of intelligence. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分,满分10分） 阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项,每个选项仅使用一次。 How to take notes?

They surprisingly found that there were around 800 big stone statues(石像) called Moai, just like human heads. They weigh up to 270 tons and the tallest one is over 11 meters. Since their discovery, these stone men have created one of the greatest mysteries of all time. Who built them? Why did they do it? Some experts say the stone statues were created by people of Peruvian descent(秘鲁人后代). Others believe that they came from outer space. However, the latest information suggests that it is a kind of wasting in human history. It is said that a small group of Asians lived on Easter Island sometime between 400 and 700 AD. At the top of their civilization(文明), the Asians began to build the stone men. Why they did this is still unknown, but it is believed that they do this to worship(祭拜) their gods or ancestors. As the statues grew larger, the people’s lifestyles became more and more wasteful. The forest began to disappear and animals died out. The people had food shortage and they had to eat other humans to live. From then on, the society began to break down and the stone men were finally destroyed by the islanders themselves. 56. Where did European explorers find the big stone statues? 57. How high is the tallest Moai? 58. Is it believed by some people that Moai were created by aliens? 59. Why did Asians in the island build Moai? 60. What did the islanders do when they couldn’t get enough food? 第二节（共1小题，满分15分） 根据要求完成短文写作，不少于80词。 进入青春期以来，我们总会因为父母对我们的要求产生矛盾与冲突，从而影响了原本和睦的家庭关系。请你就你心中目前家里最需要改的规则是什么、为什么、以及如何进行改变与调整才能让家庭更加和谐美好等方面给父母写一封信。 要求：1. 80词左右。 2. 文中不得出现真实的人名和地名。 答案： 21-22 BC 23-26 CBCA 27-30 CCBB 31-35 BDEAC 36-45 BAACB CBABB 46. more 47. writing 48. clearly 49. that 50. third 51. an 52. working 53. myself 54. value 55. has said 46. more 47. writing 48. clearly 49. that 50. third 51. an 52. working 53. myself 54. value 55. has said 书面表达：略 1 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
