B I want to share with you a story from 28 years ago. My dad was a used car salesman. Every Thursday night, he would head off to Shreveport, LA for an auction (拍卖会). Most of the time, I drove a car over there for him so he could sell it at the auction. One day I was riding with my dad when he noticed a hitch-hiker (搭便车人) with a backpack. Without hesitation, he pulled the car over and offered him a ride. Dad asked him his name, and proceeded to talk to him about all sorts of things. Dad asked him where he was going. The hitch-hiker told him that he was heading for the west. I can’t recall why but he told Dad a lot of things that had occurred to him and that persuaded him to make that decision. He talked about the tragic events that occurred to him several years before. He was in low spirits, but I could see that the hitch-hiker’s attitude was changing as someone was really listening to him. We drove 45 minutes before the hitch-hiker got off. We pulled over and Dad told him to keep his head up and things would start looking up for him soon. He reached into his pocket and handed the hitch- hiker a twenty-dollar bill. The guy smiled. He nearly lit up right there on the cold, dark highway. We drove on and my dad did not say a single thing. I was still completely surprised by what I had just witnessed. I was always told by everyone never to pick up a hitch-hiker and yet my dad did it every single time he saw one. While reflecting upon that story I came to understand that just one single kind act could change someone’s life. And I am sure that my father’s deed made that poor man’s day. 4. What made the hitch-hiker become less upset? A. The writer’s father talking to him about all sorts of things. B. The writer’s father offering him a free ride. C. The writer’s father really listening to him. D The writer’s father agreeing to drive him to his destination. 5. When his father helped the hitch-hiker, the writer ___________. A. was deeply moved B. strongly disagreed C. admired his father D. couldn’t understand 6. Which of the following words can be used to describe the father? A. Wealthy. B. Warm-hearted. C. Far-sighted. D. Adventurous. 7. What’s the writer’s main purpose of writing this text? A. To tell a story of his father. B. To show his respect for his father. C. To prove his father is the best teacher. D. To advise people to learn from the hitch-hiker. C New research suggests that dogs might be able to help save diseased citrus trees. A group of scientists trained dogs to use their sense of smell to detect a crop disease called citrus-greening. The disease has affected orange, lemon and grapefruit trees in the American states of Florida, California and Texas. The dogs can detect the disease weeks to years before it appears on tree leaves and roots, the researchers report. A study on their findings was published recently in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. The report says using dogs is also faster, less costly and more exact than having people collect hundreds of leaves for lab analysis. Timothy Gottwald is a researcher with the U. S. Department of Agriculture and a co-writer of the study. He told The Associated Press, “This technology is thousands of years old-the dog’s nose. We’ve just trained dogs to hunt new prey.” Citrus-greening is caused by a bacteria (细菌) that is spread by a tiny insect that feeds on the leaves and stems of citrus trees. Once a tree is infected (感染), there is no cure. The disease has also hurt citrus crops in Central and South America and Asia. In one experiment involving grapefruit trees in Texas, trained dogs were correct 95 percent of the time in telling the difference between newly infected trees and healthy ones. “The earlier you detect a disease, the better chance you have at stopping an epidemic (流行病) by removing infected trees,” Gottwald said. Matteo Garbelotto studies plants at the University of California, Berkeley. He says the new research shows that dogs can detect an infection well before current methods. Garbelotto has been involved in similar research but had no part in the new study. Laura Sims is a plant scientist with Louisiana Tech University. She praised the steps taken to find out if the dogs were detecting the bacteria itself or a plant’s reaction to an infection. To do that, the researchers infected different kinds of unrelated plants with the bacteria in a laboratory. The dogs were still able to pick out the infected plants. Gottwald said, “You’ve seen dogs working in airports, detecting drugs and explosives. Maybe soon you will see them working on more farms. ” 8. According to the research, trained dogs can ________. A. help infected trees recover from diseases B. recognize a crop disease in its early stage C. cause fruit trees to grow faster than usual D. reduce the cost of planting some fruit trees 9. What does the underlined part “new prey” in Paragraph 4 refer to? A. Infected plants. B. Fruit trees. C. Tiny insects. D. Favourite foods. 10. Why did the researchers do experiments on unrelated plants? A To further prove the findings. B. To explore the plant diseases. C To present different opinions. D. To discover a plant’s reactions. 11. How does Gottwald feel about the future use of this new method? A. Doubtful. B. Positive. C. Indifferent. D. Curious. D The idea that richer countries are happier may seem intuitively (直觉地) obvious. However, in1974, research by economist Richard Easterlin found otherwise. He discovered that while individuals with higher incomes were more likely to be happy, this did not hold at a national level. In the United States, for example, average income per person rose steadily between 1946 and 1970, but reported happiness levels showed no positive long-term trend.; in fact, they declined (下降) between 1060 and 1970. These differences between nation-level and individual results gave rise to the term “Easterlin paradox”: the idea that a higher rate of economic growth does not result in higher long-term happiness. Having access to additional income seems to only provide a temporary surge (激增) in happiness. Since a certain minimum (最小的) income is needed for basic necessities, it’s possible that the happiness boost from extra cash isn’t that great once you rise above the poverty line. This would explain Easterlin’s findings in the United States and other developed countries. He argued that life satisfaction does rise with average incomes but only in the short term. Recent research has challenged the Easternlin paradox, however. In 2013, sociologists Ruut Veenhoven and Floris Vergunst conducted a study using statistics (统计数据) from the World Database of Happiness. Their analysis revealed a positive correlation between economic growth and happiness. Another study by the University of Michigan found that there is no maximum wealth threshold (门槛) at which more money stops contributing to your happiness: “If there is a satiation point, we are yet to reach it.” The study’s findings suggested that every extra dollar you earn makes you happier. With a much debate about the relationship between money and happiness, it’s clear that happiness itself is a complex concept and depends on many factors. According to psychologists (心理学家) Selin Kesebir and Shigehiro Oishi, happiness also depends on how your income compares to the people around you. They argue that a country’s economic growth only makes its citizens happier if wealth is evenly distributed (分配). In developing countries with high income inequality — where the rich get richer and the poor get poorer — average happiness tends to drop because only relatively few people benefit from the economic growth. This suggests that governments should consider conducting policies to ensure more equal distribution of wealth. The happier people are, the more productive they are likely to become, thus leading to improved economic outcomes at the individual and national levels. There is continuing debate about the link between wealth and happiness, with arguments both for and against the belief that richer countries are happier. However, it is clear that wealth alone isn’t enough to make us happy. The effect of income inequality on happiness shows that happiness is a social responsibility. We need to remember the positive effects of generosity, selflessness, and building social connections. Perhaps our focus should be less on how much money we have, and more on how we use it. 12. According to the passage, Easterlin Paradox refers to ______. A. the fact that the more money, the happier people will feel B. the suggestion that money should be given the top priority(优先) C. the question how economic outcomes are distributed nationwide D. the opinion that higher income doesn’t necessarily generate happiness 13. The word “satiation” in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to “________”. A. satisfaction B. anxiety C. survival D. confidence 14. What is the major reason for people’s unhappiness related to money? A. Money not enough. B. Money not fairly distributed. C. Rich people richer D. Unequal money paid for equal work. 15. Which of the following might be best title of this passage? A. It’s all relative B. Easternlin paradox C. The economics of happiness D. Rising income, rising happiness 第二节 (共5小题，每小题2.5分，共12.5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。选项中有两项为多余选项。 How to Choose Extracurricular Activities From sports to clubs to outside organizations, there are many activities to take part in outside the classroom. ____16____ Fortunately, it becomes quite easy once you figure out what you enjoy doing in general.

On Monday morning, he was nearly late for school. The night before, his family attended his cousin’s wedding and reached home late, which was why he couldn’t get up on time as usual. At school, Asad could not pay attention to anything and wanted the bell to ring so that he could buy something to eat. After a few hours, when the bell rang, Asad quickly opened his schoolbag to find his money, but just then he remembered that he had left for school in a hurry in the morning and forgotten to take the money. He looked under his books, hoping to find some money but there was nothing. Not knowing what to do, he walked out of the classroom and sat on a bench in front of the dining room. He saw a few of his classmates there, among whom was Fahad. He was one of the richest kids in his class but he was very arrogant. But as Asad was new, he didn’t know much about anyone. Asad thought he might borrow some money from Fahad and return it to him the next day. So he got up and slowly went towards Fahad and asked if he could borrow some money. Fahad smirked (讥笑) and said “I knew you were a loser, but I didn’t know you were also a beggar?” Fahad laughed out so loud that the other kids heard and also made fun of Asad. It was too humiliating (丢脸的) for Asad. He could not answer Fahad and slowly walked back towards an empty bench. He could still hear them laughing at him in the distance. When he reached the bench, he noticed something lying near it. It was a wallet. He picked it up and recognized it was Fahad’s, as he remembered Fahad showing it to his friends and saying that his uncle bought it for him from the UK. There was quite a lot of money inside for a kid. 注意：1. 续写词数应为 150 左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Paragraph 1: At first, Asad wanted to keep it a secret and punished Fahad. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Then Fahad said, “why are you giving it back?” ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 2024—2025年度武钢三中高一上英语10月月考卷 (考试时间：120分钟 试卷满分：150分) 第一部分 听力 (共两节，满分30分) 注意，听力部分答题时请先将答案标在试卷上，听力部分结束前你将有两分钟的时间将答案转涂到答题卡上。 第一节 (共5小题;每小题1.5分，满分7.5分) 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项，并标在试卷的相应位置。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 1.

A 2. C 3. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文，主要介绍了四篇引人思考短篇小说。 【1题详解】 推理判断题。根据“There Will Come Soft Rains”下面的“Earth has been destroyed by war. However, machines continue to function and serve humans who have long ago died. The title is taken from a poem describing how nature will continue its work long after humanity is gone. But in this story, we see that nature plays a supporting role and machines have taken its place.(地球已被战争摧毁。然而，机器继续运转，为早已死亡的人类服务。这个标题取自一首诗，描述了在人类消失很久之后，大自然将如何继续它的工作。但在这个故事中，我们看到大自然充当配角，机器取代了它的位置。)”可知，这篇小说讲述的是在被战争摧毁的地球上，人类已经灭亡，但人类发明的机器仍然在做着为人类设置的服务，这个故事的标题取自一首诗，这首诗讲述的是人类消失后大自然依然会继续自己的工作，而在这个故事中，机器接替了大自然的角色。由此可推测出，这篇小说想要告诉我们大自然按照自己的方式运转，不会受到人类的影响。故选A。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据“The Tale of Johnny Town-Mouse”下面的“When he can’t bear the city life, he returns to his home. When his friend visits him, something similar happens.(当他无法忍受城市生活时，他回到自己的家。当他的朋友来看他时，也发生了类似的事情。)”可知，Timmie的朋友来到Timmie家时，也无法习惯乡村的生活。故选C。 【3题详解】 推理判断题。根据“The Night Train at Deoli”下面的“One day he sees a girl selling fruit and he is unable to forget her. This is about our attachment to strangers and why we treasure them even though we do not meet them ever again.(一天，他看到一个女孩在卖水果，他无法忘记她。这是关于我们对陌生人的依恋，以及为什么我们珍惜他们，即使我们再也见不到他们了。)”可知，Ruskin Bond写的The Night Train at Deoli这篇小说讲述了作者见到一个卖水果的陌生女孩后无法忘怀，文章体现了人们对陌生人的依恋，这是人与人之间的联系。故选D。 B I want to share with you a story from 28 years ago. My dad was a used car salesman. Every Thursday night, he would head off to Shreveport, LA for an auction (拍卖会). Most of the time, I drove a car over there for him so he could sell it at the auction. One day I was riding with my dad when he noticed a hitch-hiker (搭便车的人) with a backpack. Without hesitation, he pulled the car over and offered him a ride. Dad asked him his name, and proceeded to talk to him about all sorts of things. Dad asked him where he was going. The hitch-hiker told him that he was heading for the west. I can’t recall why but he told Dad a lot of things that had occurred to him and that persuaded him to make that decision. He talked about the tragic events that occurred to him several years before. He was in low spirits, but I could see that the hitch-hiker’s attitude was changing as someone was really listening to him. We drove 45 minutes before the hitch-hiker got off. We pulled over and Dad told him to keep his head up and things would start looking up for him soon. He reached into his pocket and handed the hitch- hiker a twenty-dollar bill. The guy smiled. He nearly lit up right there on the cold, dark highway. We drove on and my dad did not say a single thing. I was still completely surprised by what I had just witnessed. I was always told by everyone never to pick up a hitch-hiker and yet my dad did it every single time he saw one. While reflecting upon that story I came to understand that just one single kind act could change someone’s life. And I am sure that my father’s deed made that poor man’s day. 4. What made the hitch-hiker become less upset? A. The writer’s father talking to him about all sorts of things. B. The writer’s father offering him a free ride. C. The writer’s father really listening to him. D. The writer’s father agreeing to drive him to his destination. 5. When his father helped the hitch-hiker, the writer ___________. A. was deeply moved B. strongly disagreed C. admired his father D. couldn’t understand 6. Which of the following words can be used to describe the father? A. Wealthy. B. Warm-hearted. C. Far-sighted.

To advise people to learn from the hitch-hiker. 【答案】4. C 5. D 6. B 7. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。本文讲了作者和父亲在去参加拍卖会的路上，遇见一个要搭便车的人，父亲搭载了那个人并给他钱的故事。也让作者明白，仅仅一个善行就可以改变一个人的一生，父亲的行为成就了那个穷人的一天。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“He talked about the tragic events that occurred to him several years before. He was in low spirits, but I could see that the hitch-hiker’s attitude was changing as someone was really listening to him. (他谈到了几年前发生在他身上的不幸的事情。他情绪低落，但我能看出他的态度正在改变，因为有人真的在听他说话。)”可知，这个搭便车的人情绪低落，但是当他在讲述自己的不幸遭遇时父亲真的在倾听，这让他的态度在改变，情绪不再那么沮丧、难过；由此可知，作者父亲的用心倾听让搭便车的人变得不再那么沮丧。故选C。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“We drove on and my dad did not say a single thing. I was still completely surprised by what I had just witnessed. I was always told by everyone never to pick up a hitch-hiker and yet my dad did it every single time he saw one.(我们继续开车，爸爸一句话也没说。我仍然对刚才所目睹的一切感到十分惊讶。每个人都告诉我不要搭便车的人搭乘，但我爸爸每次看到搭便车的人都会让他们搭车)”可知，作者一直听到的都是不要让搭便车的人搭车，但是这次父亲不仅让人搭车还给这人20美元，这让作者非常惊讶，他不知道父亲为什么这么做；由此可指，父亲帮助这个搭车人的时候作者不能理解父亲这种做法。故选D。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段第一句“One day I was riding with my dad when he noticed a hitch-hiker (搭便车的人) with a backpack. Without hesitation, he pulled the car over and offered him a ride.(一天，爸爸正开车带着我时，他注意到一个背着背包的搭便车者。他毫不犹豫地把车停在路边，让他搭车。)”以及第三段中“We pulled over and Dad told him to keep his head up and things would start looking up for him soon. He reached into his pocket and handed the hitch- hiker a twenty-dollar bill. (我们把车停在路边，爸爸告诉他要昂起头来，他很快就会好转的。他把手伸进口袋，递给搭车人一张二十美元的钞票。)”可知，父亲不仅让人搭车，得知搭车人的困境看到对方很沮丧时，鼓励对方并给对方钱来帮助对方；由最后一段中的“I was always told by everyone never to pick up a hitch-hiker and yet my dad did it every single time he saw one.(每个人都告诉我不要搭顺风车，但我爸爸每次看到顺风车都这样做。)”可知，父亲每次每次看到要搭便车的人，都会让对方搭车；由此可知，父亲是一个乐于助人，热心肠的人。故选B。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段“I want to share with you a story from 28 years ago. My dad was a used car salesman. Every Thursday night, he would head off to Shreveport, LA for an auction (拍卖会). Most of the time, I drove a car over there for him so he could sell it at the auction.(我想和大家分享一个28年前的故事。我爸爸是个二手车推销员。每周四晚上，他都会前往洛杉矶什里夫波特参加一场拍卖会。”)、最后一段中“While reflecting upon that story I came to understand that just one single kind act could change someone’s life. And I am sure that my father’s deed made that poor man’s day. (当我回想起这个故事时，我明白了一个简单的善举可以改变一个人的一生。我敢肯定，我父亲的行为使那个可怜的人高兴了一天。)”以及文中所讲述的父亲去参加拍卖会的路上搭载了一个搭便车的人并且给他钱的故事可知，作者在文章中回忆了28年前父亲让别人搭便车并帮助对方的故事；因此，作者写这篇文章的主要目的是为了讲述28年前发生在父亲身上的一个故事。故选A。 C New research suggests that dogs might be able to help save diseased citrus trees. A group of scientists trained dogs to use their sense of smell to detect a crop disease called citrus-greening. The disease has affected orange, lemon and grapefruit trees in the American states of Florida, California and Texas. The dogs can detect the disease weeks to years before it appears on tree leaves and roots, the researchers report. A study on their findings was published recently in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. The report says using dogs is also faster, less costly and more exact than having people collect hundreds of leaves for lab analysis. Timothy Gottwald is a researcher with the U. S. Department of Agriculture and a co-writer of the study. He told The Associated Press, “This technology is thousands of years old-the dog’s nose. We’ve just trained dogs to hunt new prey.” Citrus-greening is caused by a bacteria (细菌) that is spread by a tiny insect that feeds on the leaves and stems of citrus trees. Once a tree is infected (感染), there is no cure. The disease has also hurt citrus crops in Central and South America and Asia. In one experiment involving grapefruit trees in Texas, trained dogs were correct 95 percent of the time in telling the difference between newly infected trees and healthy ones. “The earlier you detect a disease, the better chance you have at stopping an epidemic (流行病) by removing infected trees,” Gottwald said. Matteo Garbelotto studies plants at the University of California, Berkeley. He says the new research shows that dogs can detect an infection well before current methods. Garbelotto has been involved in similar research but had no part in the new study. Laura Sims is a plant scientist with Louisiana Tech University. She praised the steps taken to find out if the dogs were detecting the bacteria itself or a plant’s reaction to an infection. To do that, the researchers infected different kinds of unrelated plants with the bacteria in a laboratory. The dogs were still able to pick out the infected plants. Gottwald said, “You’ve seen dogs working in airports, detecting drugs and explosives. Maybe soon you will see them working on more farms. ” 8. According to the research, trained dogs can ________. A. help infected trees recover from diseases B. recognize a crop disease in its early stage C. cause fruit trees to grow faster than usual D. reduce the cost of planting some fruit trees 9. What does the underlined part “new prey” in Paragraph 4 refer to? A. Infected plants. B. Fruit trees. C. Tiny insects. D. Favourite foods. 10. Why did the researchers do experiments on unrelated plants? A. To further prove the findings. B. To explore the plant diseases. C. To present different opinions. D. To discover a plant’s reactions. 11. How does Gottwald feel about the future use of this new method? A. Doubtful. B. Positive. C. Indifferent. D. Curious. 【答案】8. B 9. A 10. A 11. B 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了受过训练的狗狗能嗅到影响柑橘树的作物病害，这也许能够帮助拯救患病的柑橘树。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“The dogs can detect the disease weeks to years before it appears on tree leaves and roots, the researchers report. (研究人员报告称，在这种病害出现在树叶和树根部数周甚至数年之前，狗狗就可以探测到它。)”可知，受过训练的狗狗可以在农作物疾病的早期就将其识别出来。故选B项。 【9题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第二段中“A group of scientists trained dogs to use their sense of smell to detect a crop disease called citrus-greening. (一群科学家训练狗狗利用它们的嗅觉来检测一种叫做柑橘绿病的农作物疾病。)”和第五段中“Citrus-greening is caused by a bacteria (细菌) that is spread by a tiny insect that feeds on the leaves and stems of citrus trees. Once a tree is infected (感染), there is no cure. (柑橘变绿是由一种微小昆虫传播的细菌引起的，这种昆虫以柑橘树的叶子和茎为食。一旦树被感染，就没有治愈的方法。)”由用受过训练的狗狗可以找出患病的农作物，可知，划线词new prey指的是“受感染的植物”。故选A项。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“She praised the steps taken to find out if the dogs were detecting the bacteria itself or a plant’s reaction to an infection. To do that, the researchers infected different kinds of unrelated plants with the bacteria in a laboratory. The dogs were still able to pick out the infected plants. (她对为证明狗狗是否可以检测该种病菌以及检测植物对感染的反应所采取的步骤表示赞同。为了做到这一点，研究人员在实验室里用细菌感染了不同种类的无关植物。这些狗仍然能够分辨出受感染的植物。)”可知，研究人员要在无关的植物上做实验是进一步证明这些发现。故选A项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Gottwald said, “You’ve seen dogs working in airports, detecting drugs and explosives. Maybe soon you will see them working on more farms. ”(Gottwald：“你见过在机场工作，在探测毒品和炸药的狗狗。也许很快你就会看到它们更多的在农场工作。”)”可知，Gottwald对这种新方法的未来应用是积极的。故选B项。 D The idea that richer countries are happier may seem intuitively (直觉地) obvious. However, in1974, research by economist Richard Easterlin found otherwise. He discovered that while individuals with higher incomes were more likely to be happy, this did not hold at a national level. In the United States, for example, average income per person rose steadily between 1946 and 1970, but reported happiness levels showed no positive long-term trend.; in fact, they declined (下降) between 1060 and 1970. These differences between nation-level and individual results gave rise to the term “Easterlin paradox”: the idea that a higher rate of economic growth does not result in higher long-term happiness. Having access to additional income seems to only provide a temporary surge (激增) in happiness. Since a certain minimum (最小的) income is needed for basic necessities, it’s possible that the happiness boost from extra cash isn’t that great once you rise above the poverty line. This would explain Easterlin’s findings in the United States and other developed countries. He argued that life satisfaction does rise with average incomes but only in the short term. Recent research has challenged the Easternlin paradox, however. In 2013, sociologists Ruut Veenhoven and Floris Vergunst conducted a study using statistics (统计数据) from the World Database of Happiness. Their analysis revealed a positive correlation between economic growth and happiness. Another study by the University of Michigan found that there is no maximum wealth threshold (门槛) at which more money stops contributing to your happiness: “If there is a satiation point, we are yet to reach it.” The study’s findings suggested that every extra dollar you earn makes you happier. With a much debate about the relationship between money and happiness, it’s clear that happiness itself is a complex concept and depends on many factors. According to psychologists (心理学家) Selin Kesebir and Shigehiro Oishi, happiness also depends on how your income compares to the people around you. They argue that a country’s economic growth only makes its citizens happier if wealth is evenly distributed (分配). In developing countries with high income inequality — where the rich get richer and the poor get poorer — average happiness tends to drop because only relatively few people benefit from the economic growth. This suggests that governments should consider conducting policies to ensure more equal distribution of wealth. The happier people are, the more productive they are likely to become, thus leading to improved economic outcomes at the individual and national levels. There is continuing debate about the link between wealth and happiness, with arguments both for and against the belief that richer countries are happier. However, it is clear that wealth alone isn’t enough to make us happy. The effect of income inequality on happiness shows that happiness is a social responsibility. We need to remember the positive effects of generosity, selflessness, and building social connections. Perhaps our focus should be less on how much money we have, and more on how we use it. 12. According to the passage, Easterlin Paradox refers to ______. A. the fact that the more money, the happier people will feel B. the suggestion that money should be given the top priority(优先) C. the question how economic outcomes are distributed nationwide D. the opinion that higher income doesn’t necessarily generate happiness 13. The word “satiation” in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to “________”. A. satisfaction B. anxiety C. survival D. confidence 14. What is the major reason for people’s unhappiness related to money? A. Money not enough. B. Money not fairly distributed. C. Rich people richer D. Unequal money paid for equal work. 15. Which of the following might be best title of this passage? A. It’s all relative B. Easternlin paradox C. The economics of happiness D. Rising income, rising happiness 【答案】12. D 13. A 14. B 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。在1974年，经济学家理查德·伊斯特林研究发现生活满意度的确会随着人均收入的增加而提高，但这只是在短期内。2013年，社会学家Ruut Veenhoven和Floris Vergunst的分析表明，经济增长与幸福之间存在正相关关系。同时根据心理学家Selin Kesebir和Shigehiro Oishi的说法，幸福还取决于您的收入与周围人的比较。他们认为，只有财富平均分配，一个国家的经济增长才能使其公民更加幸福。作者认为我们应该少关注我们有多少钱，多关注我们如何使用它。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。第一段最后一句“These differences between nation-level and individual results gave rise to the term “ Easterlin paradox”: the idea that a higher rate of economic growth does not result in higher long-term happiness.(国家水平和个人结果之间的这些差异导致了“伊斯特林悖论”一词的出现：即较高的经济增长率并不会带来较高的长期幸福感。)”可知，根据这篇文章，伊斯特林悖论指的是高收入不一定带来幸福的观点。故选D。 【13题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“Another study by the University of Michigan found that there is no maximum wealth threshold (门槛) at which more money stops contributing to your happiness: “If there is a satiation point, we are yet to reach it.” (密歇根大学的另一项研究发现，没有最高的财富门槛，更多的钱不再为你的幸福做出贡献：“如果有一个satiation点，我们还没有达到这个点。”)”可知，没有最大财富门槛，在该门槛上，更多的钱不再为您的幸福做出贡献，指还没有一个临界点，在这个点上钱将不会使人开心。可推知如果有这样一个让人满足的点，然而我们还没有达到这个点。所以划线单词satiation意思为“满足”，故选A。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“They argue that a country’s economic growth only makes its citizens happier if wealth is evenly distributed (分配). In developing countries with high income inequality — where the rich get richer and the poor get poorer — average happiness tends to drop because only relatively few people benefit from the economic growth. (他们认为，一个国家的经济增长只有在财富平均分配的情况下才会让国民更幸福。在收入高度不平等的发展中国家——富人越来越富，穷人越来越穷——平均幸福感往往会下降，因为只有相对较少的人从经济增长中受益。)”可知，只有财富平均分配了人才会开心，即金钱分配不均是造成人们对金钱不快乐的主要原因。故选B。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据最后一段中“There is continuing debate about the link between wealth and happiness, with arguments both for and against the notion that richer countries are happier. However, it is clear that wealth alone isn’t enough to make us happy. (关于财富与幸福之间的联系，人们仍在争论不休，有人支持，有人反对富裕国家更幸福的观点。然而，很明显，财富本身并不足以使我们幸福。)”以及全文可知，文章主要围绕着经济与幸福相关的话题，所以短文的最佳标题是“幸福的经济学”。故选C。 第二节 (共5小题，每小题2.5分，共12.5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。选项中有两项为多余选项。 How to Choose Extracurricular Activities From sports to clubs to outside organizations, there are many activities to take part in outside the classroom. ____16____ Fortunately, it becomes quite easy once you figure out what you enjoy doing in general.

On Monday morning, he was nearly late for school. The night before, his family attended his cousin’s wedding and reached home late, which was why he couldn’t get up on time as usual. At school, Asad could not pay attention to anything and wanted the bell to ring so that he could buy something to eat. After a few hours, when the bell rang, Asad quickly opened his schoolbag to find his money, but just then he remembered that he had left for school in a hurry in the morning and forgotten to take the money. He looked under his books, hoping to find some money but there was nothing. Not knowing what to do, he walked out of the classroom and sat on a bench in front of the dining room. He saw a few of his classmates there, among whom was Fahad. He was one of the richest kids in his class but he was very arrogant. But as Asad was new, he didn’t know much about anyone. Asad thought he might borrow some money from Fahad and return it to him the next day. So he got up and slowly went towards Fahad and asked if he could borrow some money. Fahad smirked (讥笑) and said, “I knew you were a loser, but I didn’t know you were also a beggar?” Fahad laughed out so loud that the other kids heard and also made fun of Asad. It was too humiliating (丢脸的) for Asad. He could not answer Fahad and slowly walked back towards an empty bench. He could still hear them laughing at him in the distance. When he reached the bench, he noticed something lying near it. It was a wallet. He picked it up and recognized it was Fahad’s, as he remembered Fahad showing it to his friends and saying that his uncle bought it for him from the UK. There was quite a lot of money inside for a kid. 注意：1. 续写词数应为 150 左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Paragraph 1: At first, Asad wanted to keep it a secret and punished Fahad. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Then Fahad said, “why are you giving it back?” ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】At first, Asad wanted to keep it a secret and punished Fahad. At least he could afford the lunch now. However, another voice popped up, urging him to give it back to Fahad, which made him feel torn. “I should never keep the wallet at the cost of my honesty, and Fahad would be extremely embarrassed without any money in the presence of so many classmates!” Asad convinced himself. Once he made up his mind, he accelerated his pace and caught him up. “Fahad, it’s your wallet and I found it on the bench.” Taking over the wallet, Fahad stared into Asad’s eyes with a puzzled look written on his face. Then Fahad said, “Why are you giving it back?” He even looked into his wallet, obviously doubtful about Asad’s act. Calmly and patiently, Asad explained, “I had originally wanted to keep it secret as a punishment for your arrogance, but being honest matters more to me.” Hearing what Asad had said, Fahad felt his face burning with shame. He bent, thanking Asad for saving him from the embarrassing situation and apologizing to the classmates around for calling them losers. “And the lunch is on me. You all are my friends!” Fahad announced. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了Asad是一位诚实和勤奋的男孩，在他进入新的学校后没有朋友，有一天，他向同学Fahad借钱想买早餐，Fahad非但没有借给他还嘲笑他，后来Asad捡到了Fahad 的钱包，里面还有很多的钱，处于诚实的本性，本来打算保守秘密，却最终还给了Fahad，Fahad被Asad的诚实举动而感到羞愧，并请他吃午餐，就这样他们成为了好朋友。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“起初，Asad想保守秘密，并惩罚了Fahad”可知，第一段可描写Asad打算不归还钱包的时候心理状态以及他还钱包的过程。 ②由第二段首句内容“然后Fahad说：‘你为什么要把它还给我？’”可知，第二段可描写Asad解释自己还钱包的原因以及Fahad听到他的解释后的感受和决定。 2.续写线索：Asad想惩罚Fahad——Asad内心不安——Asad归还钱包——Fahad感到困惑——Asad做出解释——两人成为好朋友 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①出现：popped up/turn up suddenly/show up suddenly ②催促：urging/press ③加速：accelerated /speed up 情绪类 ①愧疚：with shame/shameful/ashamed/guilty ②尴尬的：embarrassing/ awkward 【点睛】[高分句型1].
