话题小故事1 ——用骑行开启学生的人生新篇章
He Taught Life Lessons Through Cycling
After cycling about 2,000 kilometers, Lan Huiyun and his 13 students finally reached their destination (目的地) — Qinghai Lake in Qinghai Province — on June 26, 2022. They finished their ride around the lake on June 29 and returned home by train the next day.
他用骑行开启学生的人生新篇章
2022 年 6 月 26 日,兰惠云和他的 13 名学生骑行了大约 2000 公里后,终于到达了他们的目的地——青海省青海湖。他们于 6 月 29 日结束了绕湖骑行,第二天乘火车回家。
Lan is a geography teacher from a middle school in Shuozhou, Shanxi Province. He started out with his students on June 12, several days after they finished the gaokao. They set off from their school and passed through five provinces before arriving in Qinghai.
Lan 是山西省朔州市一所中学的地理教师。他于 6 月 12 日和他的学生一起出发,也就是他们完成高考几天后。他们从学校出发,途经五个省份,才到达青海。
In early May, Lan began to plan a bicycle route (路线) that would be safe and also allow the students to experience local sights and customs. He also trained the students in bicycle repairing and basic first aid to ensure their safety.
5 月初,Lan 开始规划一条安全且能让学生体验当地景点和风土人情的自行车路线。他还对学生进行了自行车维修和基本急救的培训,以确保他们的安全。
However, they still met some difficulties, such as flat tires and lack of oxygen (爆胎和缺氧) along their way. “When I noticed their tiredness and low spirits, I would give them some snacks or tell a joke to encourage them to keep moving forward,” Lan said.
然而,他们仍然遇到了一些困难,例如轮胎漏气和缺氧。“当我注意到他们疲倦和情绪低落时,我会给他们一些零食或讲个笑话,鼓励他们继续前进,”兰说。
It was not the first time Lan had organized such a journey. In 2016, he and seven of his students rode from Shuozhou to Manzhouli. And in 2019, Lan and 11 students spent 16 days cycling from Shuozhou to Shanghai. “I've never thought that a teacher's task is only to teach from textbooks,” Lan said. “I hope my students will experience real life and learn how to deal with difficulties through the activities I create for them.”
这不是 Lan 第一次组织这样的旅行。2016 年,他和他的 7 名学生从朔州骑车到满洲里。2019 年,Lan 和 11 名学生花了 16 天时间从朔州骑自行车到上海。“我从来没想过老师的任务只是从教科书上教书,”兰说。“我希望我的学生能体验真实的生活,并通过我为他们创造的活动学习如何应对困难。”
Although it costs time and energy to organize such activities, Lan said he was happy to see his students' growth during the trips. “I will continue to bring more students to cycle outside our city in the future,” Lan said.
虽然组织此类活动需要花费时间和精力,但 Lan 表示,他很高兴看到他的学生在旅行中成长。“未来我会继续带更多的学生到我们城市以外的地方骑自行车,”Lan 说。

话题小故事2 ——无聊有时也不是坏事
Enjoy your boredom
It might be a surprise to hear that being bored sometimes is good for kids. But it’s true.
享受你的无聊
听到无聊有时对孩子有好处可能会让人感到惊讶。但这是真的。
Boredom can help you kids be present and understand the world around you. One of the great things kids have is curiosity about the things that adults take for granted, like the colors of a butterfly and the noises of a truck. Making those discoveries is how you learn. If you never get bored, you never discover how interesting the world really is.
无聊可以帮助您的孩子活在当下并了解您周围的世界。孩子们的一大优点是对成年人认为理所当然的事物感到好奇,比如蝴蝶的颜色和卡车的声音。取得这些发现就是你学习的方式。如果你从不感到无聊,你永远不会发现世界到底有多有趣。
Kids’ brains need to stay active, but they need downtime, too. To leave space for downtime, you can schedule it with your family. It is helpful. Make sure that you have a couple of afternoons or evenings per week when you don’t have an organized activity.
孩子们的大脑需要保持活跃,但他们也需要休息时间。要留出停机时间空间,您可以与家人一起安排。这很有帮助。确保您每周有几个下午或晚上没有组织的活动。
Boredom can help you be creative, too. Thinking out of the box can help you solve problems that seem small to adults, but are huge to you. If your schedules and brains are always filled with activities, you’ll have no need to imagine a story, wonder how things work, etc.
无聊也可以帮助您发挥创造力。跳出框框思考可以帮助您解决对成年人来说似乎很小但对您来说很重要的问题。如果你的日程安排和大脑总是被活动填满,你就不需要想象一个故事,想知道事情是如何运作的,等等。
Of course, being bored all the time isn’t healthy. Where’s the line between too much boredom and not enough? It’s different for every kid and every family, and it may take some time to find out where your line is. It can be hard to be bored. But it will achieve something else important: developing you into interesting, funny, thoughtful people who can have dinner time conversations and deal with long car rides. That’s good for you and your family.
当然,一直无聊是不健康的。太多无聊和不够之间的界限在哪里?每个孩子和每个家庭的情况都不同,可能需要一些时间才能找出您的线路在哪里。无聊可能很难。但它会实现其他重要的事情:将你培养成有趣、有趣、有思想的人,他们可以在晚餐时间进行对话并应对长途汽车旅行。这对您和您的家人都有好处。

时文阅读 01—更多的空闲会让人快乐吗?
Imagine that you have woken up on the first day of your vacation.You enjoy a delicious breakfast,take a walk on the beach and read the morning newspaper. You are feeling happy and relaxed. But you may start to feel bored by the time the late afternoon comes around!
If you have ever felt like this,you're not alone.It turns out that having unlimited(无限的)free time is not always as great as we expected. What is the best amount of free time for our happiness?
Researchers tried to answer this question by surveying tens of thousands of people, collecting data(数据) on how they spent their time and how happy they were. After looking at the data,the research team found that having less than two hours of free time a day is not enough to be happy. People who have less than two hours of free time a day usually have more stress.It means that they are simply too busy with work to get their happiness.
The fact that being too busy cuts happiness might lead to the answer that more free time is simply better. Surprisingly,having a lot of free time is not a panacea for happiness, according to the research. People surely get a certain sense of joy from finishing tasks. So having more than five hours of free time a day sometimes makes us lose the sense of achievement and joy.
I think it is how we spend our free time that matters. When free time is used in more active ways,like playing a team sport, then five or more hours a day can keep or even increase happiness. However,spending five or more hours of free time doing nothing can stop happiness.

A. The morning newspaper. B. The delicious breakfast.

5.What is the best title for the text?

B. Why do we need more free time?
C. Where can we spend our daily free time?
D. How much free time do we need to be happy?
时文阅读 02—一饿就生气?小心“饿怒症”
The word "hangry”,coming from “hungry”and “angry”,has been a part of the common lexicon(词汇表)for a while.Most people know the feeling of being so hungry that it starts to make them angry. Now a study in the real world has found a clear link(联系)between hunger and anger.
Before the study. most work on the link between hunger and anger in people was done in the laboratory.Still.Swami and his team wanted to see how strong the effect is on people as they go about their lives. "Many of us know that being hungry can influence our feelings, but surprisingly little scientific research has focused on being ‘hangry'.”says Viren Swami.from Anglia Ruskin University in the UK."Ours is the first study to examine being‘hangry' outside of the lab.”
They asked 64 volunteers from Europe to use a phone app to record how they felt and how hungry they were five times a day for three weeks. Sure enough, there was a link between people's hunger levels and their self-reported feelings of anger. When they were hungrier,they also felt less pleasure."The hungrier you are,the more likely it is that you will also feel angry and have less pleasure," says Viren Swami.
The same kind of “hangry”behavior(行为)has been seen in the animal world too,and scientists are hard at work trying to understand the reasons behind the link.
“Knowing more about how these feelings develop from our stomach can help us manage them better,”the team suggests.
1.What can we learn about being“hangry”from the passage?

C. It is familiar to most people. D. It hasn't been studied before.
2.What's special about Swami's study?
A. It used a special phone app. B. It was done outside of a lab.
C.It studied more than 60 people. D. It found a link between hunger and anger.
3.What did the volunteers do in the study?
A. They tried to keep happy. B. They recorded their feelings.
C. They ate once they were hungry. D. They used a phone for pleasure.
4.What does the team suggest in the last paragraph?
A. It's worth making a further study.
B.It's important to keep a healthy diet.
C.It's difficult to manage our feelings.D.
D. Most feelings develop from Our stomach.
5.What is the best title for the passage?

I put $5 in your wallet every month 12. you'd have some money. "Her lovely body language became even sweeter when she admitted(承认)she had been making a monthly deposit of $5 into my purse for over a year. Then she asked, "Has it been helping, Mommy?Does it make you 13. ?"
I dropped to the floor with her and shut my 14. , with tears rolling down my face. I held and rocked my lovely and thoughtful daughter, hoping I could make the moment last forever.

Most people want to be happy, but few knowhow 16. (find) happiness. Money and success alone do not bring lasting happiness. Aristotle, a Greek thinker, said, "Happiness depends on 17. (we). "In other words, we make our own happiness. Here 18. (be) some advice to help you be happy.

Finally, many people find happiness in helping others. Studies show that people feel good when they spend their time helping each other.
Passage C
One afternoon I was sitting at home feeling so bored. Instead of feeling sorry for myself, I wanted to meet people and have new experiences, so I decided to start volunteering. I searched on my computer and found a website where I could volunteer on a farm in France.
Working on a farm was a new experience for me. I had to look after fifteen horses and sleep at the top of a tower in a castle! I was an awful farmer but it did not matter because I made some great friends.
However, you do not need to go abroad to volunteer. As for me, volunteering can become a hobby and I have had plenty of experiences at home. For example, at university, I organized a concert for charity with my friends. It was really fun finding bands and raising money for a cause we believe in.
It is true that you feel good when volunteering but there are also other advantages. I once volunteered as a server at a charity sports event where the organizers gave me cupcakes to thank me for my service. I also volunteered in a charity shop so I found loads of nice cheap clothes to update my wardrobe(衣柜).
While this is all fun, my favorite aspect of volunteering is creating and sharing stories. My terrible attempts at farming have given me hilarious stories to tell! Talking to volunteers from different countries and backgrounds has also helped me learn more about the world. I feel thankful to have had so much fun with many nice people.
26.Why did the author want to volunteer?
A.To go abroad. B.To feel ashamed of himself.
C.To be a farmer. D.To taste a new life and make friends.
27.The underlined word "hilarious" in the last paragraph means""
A.funny B.strange C.awful D.sad
28.How does the author feel according to the last paragraph?
A.Disappointed. B.Worried. C.Thankful. D.Surprised.
29.What's the best title for the passage?
A.A New Experience B.Volunteering Is Fun
C.Volunteer for Charity D.Volunteering Brings Friends
Passage D
Many people might think that if they had more money, then they would be happier in life. For example, people might look at what others have, like expensive clothes or nice cars, and wish they could have the same. But the things that money can buy can not bring happiness to a person for long.
① But is that really true?Studies have found that money can, in fact, make people happier.
②Instead, it's giving money to others that makes people happy, ③ It could be buying a homeless person food to eat. ④ It could be giving money to a person in need. Just think about the last time you used your own money to do something for someone else. How did you feel?
Whether it is a small or large amount of money, people feel happier when they give. This is because making someone else happy makes the giver happy, too.
This idea of connecting your happiness to the happiness of others is described as a ubuntu in an African language. There is even a story about a man visiting Africa who asked some kids to race to a nearby tree. The first child to touch the tree would get a sweet treat. Surprisingly, all the children held hands and ran together. They all touched the tree at the same time. The man asked why they had done this. The children simply said they could only enjoy eating the treat if everyone had one.
30.The writer says that buying things ______.
A.can make people worried
B.can make people nervous
C.may lead to sadness for long
D.may lead to happiness for a short time
31.Where can we best put" But it is not having money that brings happiness. "in Paragraph 2?
A.① B.② C.③ D.④
32.Why does the writer quote(引用)a story in Paragraph 3?
A.To explain Africans like sweets. B.To show examples are not enough.
C.To make the writer's opinion clearer. D.To express happiness is from children.
33.What does the writer try to tell us?
A.Buying new things can make people happy.
B.The key to happiness is making others happy.
C.If you want to be happy, you can visit Africa.
D.People who have a lot of money might not be happy.
Passage E
What makes people happier, money or having happy friends? Researchers from Harvard University have found the answer to this question in a study.
The study found that people who have happy friends have a greater chance of being happy. And if the happy friends are closer to you, you will be happier. For example, a person's happiness rises by 20% if a happy friend lives within 1.5 kilometers. Having a happy neighbor makes the chance of being happy higher by 34%. The effects of friends' happiness last for up to a year.
The researchers found that happiness is really contagious. Sadness also spreads among friends, but not as much as happiness. The study shows that having an extra (额外的) five thousand dollars increases a person's chances of becoming happier by about 2%. But the effect of a friend's happiness could in fact be greater than that.
The study also shows that people are happier when having happy friends than having good colleagues (同事) .
34. According to the study, what can make people happier?
A.Living with friends. B.Having money.
C.Having a happy friend. D.Marrying a happy person.
35. A person's happiness is increased by 20% if______________
A.he has a happy neighbor
B.a happy friend lives within 1.5 kilometers
C.his colleagues are also happy
D.he gets extra money
36. The underlined word "contagious" means "___________" in Chinese.
A.传染的 B.流行的 C.加强的 D.交际的
37. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
A.You'll have more chances to be happy with a happy friend nearby.
B.Sadness also spreads among friends.
C.The effects of friends' happiness last longer than sadness.
D.The more money you have, the happier you will be.
38. What's the best title for the passage?
A.Money and friends B.A new study about friends
C.Happy friends can make you happy D.How to make friends
Passage F
Anna was excited about starting her first day in the new school. However, when she first walked past the students in the school, her excitement turned to fear, and then to loneliness(孤独) over the next few days. "Why didn't anyone say 'hi' to me or invite me to his or her lunch table? Is it because of my clothes or my hair?" she wondered. Almost every day during the first week, Anna stayed alone, thinking that there must have been something wrong with her or that nobody saw her at all!
What caused Anna's problem? The reason was that nobody knew her. Most people don't like talking with strangers. So it's your job to volunteer to make contact with people who you want to know. The easiest way to catch their attention is to notice them first. Make eye contact with them, and smile at them. When you smile at them, you are doing your best to show your kindness to them, and they are sure to understand that you are saying, "Hey, how's everything going?" In this way, you are taking the first step towards the road to friendship.
When Anna realized this, she started talking to her classmates. Guess what happened? It really worked. She had made two friends by the end of the month.
In fact, saying "hi" or making friends with strangers is not hard. And the joy it brings you is really great. So try to open your heart to strangers!
39. Which of the following shows the change in Anna's feelings?
A.excited→afraid→lonely→happy B.happy→lonely→sad→proud
C.afraid→relaxed→nervous→happy D.nervous→angry→happy→sad
40. The underlined word "contact" in Paragraph 2 means .
A.agree B.greet C.praise D.communicate
41. According to the writer's opinion, which is the easiest way to catch others' attention?
A.Doing something for them. B.Making yourself cool.
C.Noticing them first. D.Talking to them.
42. What can we learn from the passage?
A.Loneliness is a common problem these days.
B.Teenagers can't get along well with each other.
C.Opening our heart to strangers can help us get friends.
D.It's hard to take the first step towards the road to friendship.

话题小故事1 ——用骑行开启学生的人生新篇章
He Taught Life Lessons Through Cycling
After cycling about 2,000 kilometers, Lan Huiyun and his 13 students finally reached their destination (目的地) — Qinghai Lake in Qinghai Province — on June 26, 2022. They finished their ride around the lake on June 29 and returned home by train the next day.
他用骑行开启学生的人生新篇章
2022 年 6 月 26 日,兰惠云和他的 13 名学生骑行了大约 2000 公里后,终于到达了他们的目的地——青海省青海湖。他们于 6 月 29 日结束了绕湖骑行,第二天乘火车回家。
Lan is a geography teacher from a middle school in Shuozhou, Shanxi Province. He started out with his students on June 12, several days after they finished the gaokao. They set off from their school and passed through five provinces before arriving in Qinghai.
Lan 是山西省朔州市一所中学的地理教师。他于 6 月 12 日和他的学生一起出发,也就是他们完成高考几天后。他们从学校出发,途经五个省份,才到达青海。
In early May, Lan began to plan a bicycle route (路线) that would be safe and also allow the students to experience local sights and customs. He also trained the students in bicycle repairing and basic first aid to ensure their safety.
5 月初,Lan 开始规划一条安全且能让学生体验当地景点和风土人情的自行车路线。他还对学生进行了自行车维修和基本急救的培训,以确保他们的安全。
However, they still met some difficulties, such as flat tires and lack of oxygen (爆胎和缺氧) along their way. “When I noticed their tiredness and low spirits, I would give them some snacks or tell a joke to encourage them to keep moving forward,” Lan said.
然而,他们仍然遇到了一些困难,例如轮胎漏气和缺氧。“当我注意到他们疲倦和情绪低落时,我会给他们一些零食或讲个笑话,鼓励他们继续前进,”兰说。
It was not the first time Lan had organized such a journey. In 2016, he and seven of his students rode from Shuozhou to Manzhouli. And in 2019, Lan and 11 students spent 16 days cycling from Shuozhou to Shanghai. “I've never thought that a teacher's task is only to teach from textbooks,” Lan said. “I hope my students will experience real life and learn how to deal with difficulties through the activities I create for them.”
这不是 Lan 第一次组织这样的旅行。2016 年,他和他的 7 名学生从朔州骑车到满洲里。2019 年,Lan 和 11 名学生花了 16 天时间从朔州骑自行车到上海。“我从来没想过老师的任务只是从教科书上教书,”兰说。“我希望我的学生能体验真实的生活,并通过我为他们创造的活动学习如何应对困难。”
Although it costs time and energy to organize such activities, Lan said he was happy to see his students' growth during the trips. “I will continue to bring more students to cycle outside our city in the future,” Lan said.
虽然组织此类活动需要花费时间和精力,但 Lan 表示,他很高兴看到他的学生在旅行中成长。“未来我会继续带更多的学生到我们城市以外的地方骑自行车,”Lan 说。

话题小故事2 ——无聊有时也不是坏事
Enjoy your boredom
It might be a surprise to hear that being bored sometimes is good for kids. But it’s true.
享受你的无聊
听到无聊有时对孩子有好处可能会让人感到惊讶。但这是真的。
Boredom can help you kids be present and understand the world around you. One of the great things kids have is curiosity about the things that adults take for granted, like the colors of a butterfly and the noises of a truck. Making those discoveries is how you learn. If you never get bored, you never discover how interesting the world really is.
无聊可以帮助您的孩子活在当下并了解您周围的世界。孩子们的一大优点是对成年人认为理所当然的事物感到好奇,比如蝴蝶的颜色和卡车的声音。取得这些发现就是你学习的方式。如果你从不感到无聊,你永远不会发现世界到底有多有趣。
Kids’ brains need to stay active, but they need downtime, too. To leave space for downtime, you can schedule it with your family. It is helpful. Make sure that you have a couple of afternoons or evenings per week when you don’t have an organized activity.
孩子们的大脑需要保持活跃,但他们也需要休息时间。要留出停机时间空间,您可以与家人一起安排。这很有帮助。确保您每周有几个下午或晚上没有组织的活动。
Boredom can help you be creative, too. Thinking out of the box can help you solve problems that seem small to adults, but are huge to you. If your schedules and brains are always filled with activities, you’ll have no need to imagine a story, wonder how things work, etc.
无聊也可以帮助您发挥创造力。跳出框框思考可以帮助您解决对成年人来说似乎很小但对您来说很重要的问题。如果你的日程安排和大脑总是被活动填满,你就不需要想象一个故事,想知道事情是如何运作的,等等。
Of course, being bored all the time isn’t healthy. Where’s the line between too much boredom and not enough? It’s different for every kid and every family, and it may take some time to find out where your line is. It can be hard to be bored. But it will achieve something else important: developing you into interesting, funny, thoughtful people who can have dinner time conversations and deal with long car rides. That’s good for you and your family.
当然,一直无聊是不健康的。太多无聊和不够之间的界限在哪里?每个孩子和每个家庭的情况都不同,可能需要一些时间才能找出您的线路在哪里。无聊可能很难。但它会实现其他重要的事情:将你培养成有趣、有趣、有思想的人,他们可以在晚餐时间进行对话并应对长途汽车旅行。这对您和您的家人都有好处。

时文阅读 01—更多的空闲会让人快乐吗?
Imagine that you have woken up on the first day of your vacation.You enjoy a delicious breakfast,take a walk on the beach and read the morning newspaper. You are feeling happy and relaxed. But you may start to feel bored by the time the late afternoon comes around!
If you have ever felt like this,you're not alone.It turns out that having unlimited(无限的)free time is not always as great as we expected. What is the best amount of free time for our happiness?
Researchers tried to answer this question by surveying tens of thousands of people, collecting data(数据) on how they spent their time and how happy they were. After looking at the data,the research team found that having less than two hours of free time a day is not enough to be happy. People who have less than two hours of free time a day usually have more stress.It means that they are simply too busy with work to get their happiness.
The fact that being too busy cuts happiness might lead to the answer that more free time is simply better. Surprisingly,having a lot of free time is not a panacea for happiness, according to the research. People surely get a certain sense of joy from finishing tasks. So having more than five hours of free time a day sometimes makes us lose the sense of achievement and joy.
I think it is how we spend our free time that matters. When free time is used in more active ways,like playing a team sport, then five or more hours a day can keep or even increase happiness. However,spending five or more hours of free time doing nothing can stop happiness.
1.What may make people feel bored during the vacation?
A. The morning newspaper. B. The delicious breakfast.
C. The unlimited free time. D. The walk on the beach.
2.What does the research data show?
A. People's ages. B. People's jobs.
C. People's feelings. D. People's hobbies.
3.What does the underlined word“panacea” in the fourth paragraph probably mean?
A.出气筒 B.万灵药 C.白日梦 D.出头鸟
4.Which does the writer think is important for happiness?
A. Places for vacation. B. A certain sense of joy.
C. An unexpected surprise. D. Ways of enjoying free time.
5.What is the best title for the text?
A. What should our vacation be like?
B. Why do we need more free time?
C. Where can we spend our daily free time?
D. How much free time do we need to be happy?
参考答案:
一项研究表明,每天不到两个小时的空闲时间会让人压力过大,快乐不起来;每天的空闲时间超过五个小时会让人缺乏成就感,从而降低快乐感。作者认为重要的是我们如何度过空闲时间。
1.C 细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句“But you may start to feel bored by the time the lateafternoon comes around!"以及第二段第二句“It turns out that having unlimited free time is not always as great as we expected.”可知,无限的自由时间可能会让人在假期中感到无聊。
2.C细节理解题。根据第三段第一句中的“collecting data on how they spent their time and how happy they were"可知,研究数据显示了人们的感受。
3.B词义猜测题。根据第四段最后两句“People surely get a certain sense of joy from finishing tasks. So having more than five hours of free time a day sometimes makes us lose the sense of achievement and joy.”可知,人们完成任务后确实会得到一种快乐感,因此一天中有太多的空闲时间会使我们失去成就感和快乐感。由此可推知,拥有大量空闲时间并不一定能带来幸福。故此处指拥有大量的空闲时间并不是幸福的万灵药,因此panacea意为“万灵药”。
4. D 细节理解题。根据最后一段第一句“I think it is how we spend our free time that matters.”可知,作者认为重要的是我们如何度过空闲时间。
5.D 主旨大意题。通读全文可知,每天不到两个小时的空闲时间不足以给人带来快乐,而每天超过五个小时的空闲时间也不一定会让人快乐。作者认为重要的是我们如何度过空闲时间。由此可知,D项“我们需要多少空闲时间才能快乐?”最适合作本文的标题。
时文阅读 02—一饿就生气?小心“饿怒症”
The word "hangry”,coming from “hungry”and “angry”,has been a part of the common lexicon(词汇表)for a while.Most people know the feeling of being so hungry that it starts to make them angry. Now a study in the real world has found a clear link(联系)between hunger and anger.
Before the study. most work on the link between hunger and anger in people was done in the laboratory.Still.Swami and his team wanted to see how strong the effect is on people as they go about their lives. "Many of us know that being hungry can influence our feelings, but surprisingly little scientific research has focused on being ‘hangry'.”says Viren Swami.from Anglia Ruskin University in the UK."Ours is the first study to examine being‘hangry' outside of the lab.”
They asked 64 volunteers from Europe to use a phone app to record how they felt and how hungry they were five times a day for three weeks. Sure enough, there was a link between people's hunger levels and their self-reported feelings of anger. When they were hungrier,they also felt less pleasure."The hungrier you are,the more likely it is that you will also feel angry and have less pleasure," says Viren Swami.
The same kind of “hangry”behavior(行为)has been seen in the animal world too,and scientists are hard at work trying to understand the reasons behind the link.
“Knowing more about how these feelings develop from our stomach can help us manage them better,”the team suggests.
1.What can we learn about being“hangry”from the passage?
A.It is only found in the lab. B. It is more about angry.
C. It is familiar to most people. D. It hasn't been studied before.
2.What's special about Swami's study?
A. It used a special phone app. B. It was done outside of a lab.
C.It studied more than 60 people. D. It found a link between hunger and anger.
3.What did the volunteers do in the study?
A. They tried to keep happy. B. They recorded their feelings.
C. They ate once they were hungry. D. They used a phone for pleasure.
4.What does the team suggest in the last paragraph?
A. It's worth making a further study.
B.It's important to keep a healthy diet.
C.It's difficult to manage our feelings.D.
D. Most feelings develop from Our stomach.
5.What is the best title for the passage?
A. What are the risks of being“hangry"?
B. A study shows getting“hangry"is real
C. How does hunger cause anger?
D. Animals may also become“hangry"
【答案】
本文介绍了一项新的研究,该研究首次在实验室环境之外证明饥饿与愤怒之间有关系。
1.C 细节理解题。根据第一段前两句“The word hangry’...has been a part of the common lexicon for a while.Most people know the feeling of being so hungry that it starts to make them angry.”可知,“hangry”一词成为常用词汇已经有一段时间了,大多数人都知道那种饿到开始发火的感觉。由此可知,这个词对大多数人来说很熟悉。
2.B 细节理解题。根据第二段第一句“Before the study, most work on the link... was done in the laboratory.”可知,在这项研究之前,大多数关于饥饿和愤怒之间关系的(研究)工作都是在实验室里完成的;再根据第二段最后一句“Ours is the first study to examine being‘hangry’ outside of the lab.”可知,Swami的研究是第一次在实验室以外进行的关于“饿怒”的研究,这也是这项研究的特殊之处。
3.B细节理解题。根据第三段第一句“They asked 64 volunteers from Europe to use a phone app to record how they felt and how hungry they were...”可知,在这项研究中,志愿者们被要求记录自己的情绪。
4.A推理判断题。根据文章最后一段中的“Knowing more about how these feelings develop from our stomach can help us manage them better”可知,研究团队指出,更多地了解这些情绪是如何从我们的胃里发展而来的有助于我们更好地控制这些情绪。由此可推知,这值得作进一步的研究。
5.B主旨大意题。通读全文可知,本文主要介绍了在现实生活中进行的一项关于饥饿和愤怒之间联系的研究。研究结果表明,饥饿和愤怒之间确实存在联系。故B项“一项研究表明‘饿怒’是真实的”可为本文最佳标题。

Passage C
One afternoon I was sitting at home feeling so bored. Instead of feeling sorry for myself, I wanted to meet people and have new experiences, so I decided to start volunteering. I searched on my computer and found a website where I could volunteer on a farm in France.
Working on a farm was a new experience for me. I had to look after fifteen horses and sleep at the top of a tower in a castle! I was an awful farmer but it did not matter because I made some great friends.
However, you do not need to go abroad to volunteer. As for me, volunteering can become a hobby and I have had plenty of experiences at home. For example, at university, I organized a concert for charity with my friends. It was really fun finding bands and raising money for a cause we believe in.
It is true that you feel good when volunteering but there are also other advantages. I once volunteered as a server at a charity sports event where the organizers gave me cupcakes to thank me for my service. I also volunteered in a charity shop so I found loads of nice cheap clothes to update my wardrobe(衣柜).
While this is all fun, my favorite aspect of volunteering is creating and sharing stories. My terrible attempts at farming have given me hilarious stories to tell! Talking to volunteers from different countries and backgrounds has also helped me learn more about the world. I feel thankful to have had so much fun with many nice people.
26.Why did the author want to volunteer?
A.To go abroad. B.To feel ashamed of himself.
C.To be a farmer. D.To taste a new life and make friends.
27.The underlined word "hilarious" in the last paragraph means""
A.funny B.strange C.awful D.sad
28.How does the author feel according to the last paragraph?
A.Disappointed. B.Worried. C.Thankful. D.Surprised.
29.What's the best title for the passage?
A.A New Experience B.Volunteering Is Fun
C.Volunteer for Charity D.Volunteering Brings Friends
【答案】26.D 27.A 28.C 29.B

Passage D
Many people might think that if they had more money, then they would be happier in life. For example, people might look at what others have, like expensive clothes or nice cars, and wish they could have the same. But the things that money can buy can not bring happiness to a person for long.
① But is that really true?Studies have found that money can, in fact, make people happier.
②Instead, it's giving money to others that makes people happy, ③ It could be buying a homeless person food to eat. ④ It could be giving money to a person in need. Just think about the last time you used your own money to do something for someone else. How did you feel?
Whether it is a small or large amount of money, people feel happier when they give. This is because making someone else happy makes the giver happy, too.
This idea of connecting your happiness to the happiness of others is described as a ubuntu in an African language. There is even a story about a man visiting Africa who asked some kids to race to a nearby tree. The first child to touch the tree would get a sweet treat. Surprisingly, all the children held hands and ran together. They all touched the tree at the same time. The man asked why they had done this. The children simply said they could only enjoy eating the treat if everyone had one.
30.The writer says that buying things ______.
A.can make people worried
B.can make people nervous
C.may lead to sadness for long
D.may lead to happiness for a short time
31.Where can we best put" But it is not having money that brings happiness. "in Paragraph 2?
A.① B.② C.③ D.④
32.Why does the writer quote(引用)a story in Paragraph 3?
A.To explain Africans like sweets. B.To show examples are not enough.
C.To make the writer's opinion clearer. D.To express happiness is from children.
33.What does the writer try to tell us?
A.Buying new things can make people happy.
B.The key to happiness is making others happy.
C.If you want to be happy, you can visit Africa.
D.People who have a lot of money might not be happy.
【答案】30.D 31.B 32.C 33.B
【解析】【分析】本文主要讲述作者试图告诉我们快乐的关键是让别人快乐。

Passage E
What makes people happier, money or having happy friends? Researchers from Harvard University have found the answer to this question in a study.
The study found that people who have happy friends have a greater chance of being happy. And if the happy friends are closer to you, you will be happier. For example, a person's happiness rises by 20% if a happy friend lives within 1.5 kilometers. Having a happy neighbor makes the chance of being happy higher by 34%. The effects of friends' happiness last for up to a year.
The researchers found that happiness is really contagious. Sadness also spreads among friends, but not as much as happiness. The study shows that having an extra (额外的) five thousand dollars increases a person's chances of becoming happier by about 2%. But the effect of a friend's happiness could in fact be greater than that.
The study also shows that people are happier when having happy friends than having good colleagues (同事) .

Passage F
Anna was excited about starting her first day in the new school. However, when she first walked past the students in the school, her excitement turned to fear, and then to loneliness(孤独) over the next few days. "Why didn't anyone say 'hi' to me or invite me to his or her lunch table? Is it because of my clothes or my hair?" she wondered. Almost every day during the first week, Anna stayed alone, thinking that there must have been something wrong with her or that nobody saw her at all!
What caused Anna's problem? The reason was that nobody knew her. Most people don't like talking with strangers. So it's your job to volunteer to make contact with people who you want to know. The easiest way to catch their attention is to notice them first. Make eye contact with them, and smile at them. When you smile at them, you are doing your best to show your kindness to them, and they are sure to understand that you are saying, "Hey, how's everything going?" In this way, you are taking the first step towards the road to friendship.
When Anna realized this, she started talking to her classmates. Guess what happened? It really worked. She had made two friends by the end of the month.
In fact, saying "hi" or making friends with strangers is not hard. And the joy it brings you is really great. So try to open your heart to strangers!
