B A Little Imagination Makes a Difference Susan had finished her homework and was going to paint a picture of the stairs. It was for a competition in school the next day. When her father reminded her it was almost time for bed, Susan said,“I’ll be quick but I wonder what color to use?” “Well, our stairs are brown” said her father.“Thanks, Dad.” said Susan. When she finished her picture, Susan began playing with her brush which was still wet. Suddenly, she dropped the brush right on the picture! There in the middle of her picture was a blob (污点) of brown paint! “Oh, Dad! What shall I do?” Susan cried. “My picture is ruined. And it’s too late to paint another.” “Let me see,” said her father. “The blob looks just like...” “Wow, I have an idea!” cried Susan. She drew a dog around the blob of brown paint. “Wonderful! You know, few things are as bad as they are seen at first. With a little imagination you can turn bad into good.” said Susan’s father. The next day Susan went to school early. When the competition began, Mr.King said, “I’ve chosen three pictures, and I want you to say which one you like best.” The children did not like the first one. The next picture was on black paper, but the stairs were red. So it was not so good. Then Mr. King showed the third painting. It was Susan’s! “The stairs are straight.” said Joe. “Yes, and the brown paint shows up well on the white paper.” said Lucy. “The little dog seems to belong there.” said Terry. 第 6 页 共 10 页 The children voted（投票） and Susan’s painting won. “Susan had a good idea,” Mr. King said. “That little dog finished a good painting. It made the stairs seem real.” Susan smiled. She could hardly wait to tell her father the news. He was right. With a little imagination you can turn something bad into something good! 39． When Susan finished her picture, she · A．went to bed early B．played with her dog C． drew a blob in the picture D． dropped the brush on the picture 40. What color did Susan use for the stairs in her painting for the competition? A. Brown B.Red C. Black D. White 41． Susan won the competition because of . A．her stairs B．her brush C．her imagination D．her white paper 42．According to the passage, we can learn that . A． fathers always love their children B．never give up when we face difficulties C．most things are as bad as they are seen D．we can turn bad into good with imagination C When watching sports events, we often notice athletes wearing earphones on while preparing in the locker room or entering the stadium. They keep their eyes shut, and gently nod along the beats. It seems the music is giving them power and cheering them up for the competition. We sometimes do the same. You might have a list of favorite songs for your morning exercises. But is there any science behind such practices? According to a recent research, it turns out there is. Music actually does make us feel powerful, but not all songs have the same effect. The research was led by Dennis Hsu of the Kellogg School of Management at Northwester University in the US. His team had people listen to 31 songs of different types(类型). The listeners felt powerful after listening to some songs, such as Queen’s We Will Rock You and 2 Unlimited’s Get Readyfor This. Researchers also found that high-power music made people want to take control in social events and come first in competition. That matters a lot in sports. “It’s commonly said that sports are 90 percent mental and only 10 percent physical,” The Huffington Post reported. Great athletes know this idea well. NBA player Kobe Bryant, for example, often puts on big headphones and even falls into deep thought to boost(提升) his game and reduce his anxiety. As for the reason for music’s magical power, Hsu’s team came up with one possible explanation: when people hear music that expresses a sense ofpower, they mimic(模拟) these feelings in their mind. 第 7 页 共 10 页 When choosing music, we also need to look at the type of music, according to researchers. In previous research by the Music in Exercise and Sports Group at Brunei University in London, they found that pop was perfect for slower, more repetitive-type tasks. If you’re warming up or cooling down after exercises, pop songs are the correct choice. 43． What is the main purpose of the first paragraph? A． To introduce favorite songs for morning exercises. B． To lead in the topic that music matters in sports. C． To give an example of athletes’ daily life. D． To explain how to choose music. 44．According to the passage, Dennis Hsu probably agrees that . A． listening to music always makes athletes relaxed B．powerful music can make people produce similar feelings in their mind C．the result of a game is mainly affected by the physical condition ofthe players D．most athletes still don’t know the effects of high-power music on their performance 45．What can we learn from the passage? A． Pop music is a reasonable choice for high-intensity training. B．Rock music helps people keep their rhythms when exercising. C．People are advised to listen to pop music before and after exercise. D． People should dance to music while doing strength and weight training. D We live in a society that judges(评判) our happiness by how much we have achieved and how successful we are. We are often told, “Work hard, become successful,and then you'll be happy.” Is it true? Can Success Bring Happiness? Happiness helps you get success; it's not the other way around. Studies show happier people are more likely to be successful, but successful people are predictably not more cheerful. When you are happier, you feel more hopeful,thankful,and strong-minded, which are important for success. As a result, you have a better chance of getting better jobs and even building stronger relationships. Success can cause a short-term increase in happiness,but it cannot guarantee a lasting one. Shortly after achieving success, you return to your usual level of happiness. Moreover, depending on success for happiness often adds pressure（ 压 力 ） , stress and negativity to every part of our lives. In conclusion, chasing( 追 求 ) happiness and well-being is better than running after success. 47 Positive psychology says that happiness is both how good we feel in the present moment and how good we feel when we look at our lived lives. Trying to lead a happy life is not always about refusing our negative emotions 第 8 页 共 10 页 or acting as if we feel happy all the time. We all experience difficult periods, and it's natural for us to feel sad, angry, and other negative emotions.Happiness is about being able to embrace(接受 )the good times, but it's also about dealing with the unavoidable bad times. Is Happiness Being Satisfied With What You Have? Does the thought of “not having enough” trouble you all the time? Are you always chasing something bigger and better? At the end of the day,that kind of chase can undoubtedly（无疑地） leave anyone empty and tired. And in that process(过程)， you are missing out on getting happiness from plenty of things you have right now. Instead of focusing on getting more, you need to focus on all you have in your life at the present moment. When you start sharing what you have, you find your happiness continuously increasing. Sure, you can work hard for success. But success won't necessarily lead to happiness. True happiness is in the climb itself. So, focus on being happy right now. Be proud of where you are in life and who you are. Be happy first, and embrace the journey to success. Then you'll be able to achieve more and perform better in many areas of your life, and you'll also enjoy the journey to your goals. 46. The word “guarantee” in Paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to . A. influence B. require C.promise D. realize 47.Which of the following would be the best heading for Paragraph 4? A. When Do You Feel Truly Happy? B. What Does Happiness Really Mean to You? C. How Can You Fully Embrace Your Happiness? D. Why Is Refusing Negative Emotions Key to Happiness? 48. The writer probably agrees that . A. the more you achieve, the happier you will be B. one can't succeed without giving up some happiness C. chasing great achievements is necessary for happiness D. true happiness comes from enjoying the journey to success 49. What is the writer's main purpose in writing this passage? A. To help people balance happiness and success. B. To explain why success brings happiness to people. C. To stress the importance of both happiness and success. D. To guide people to value happiness above achieving success. 第 9 页 共 10 页 六、阅读与表达。（共 4 小题，第 50-52 题每小题 2 分，第 53 题 4 分，共 10 分） 阅读短文， 根据短文回答问题。 Chinese Fancy Knot Chinese fancy knots, also called Chinese knots, refer to the traditional decorative knots in Chinese culture. They began as a form of traditional art in the Tang and Song Dynasties in China. And they became popular in the Ming Dynasty. Long ago, they found their way to Japan and other Southeast Asian countries, and were well received. Chinese Fancy Knots there. Now they are taken as one of the most classic symbols of Chinese culture. As for the name itself, it is surely meaningful. The Chinese word for “knot”, jie, means “connection”. It is related to lots of cultural ideas—marriage, brotherhood, reunion, etc. The pronunciation of the Chinese word jie is very close to that of ji, “goodluck” . As a result, Chinese knots perfectly express people’s strong wishes for good things like joy, love and goodluck. Besides, the knots, widely existing in the everyday life of the Chinese culture, come in different sizes. Small ones are connected to jewelry (珠宝), clothes, gift—packages and furniture in order to attract people’s attention, while large ones are used to decorate a living room or study. Whether large or small, there are over a dozen basic knot patterns ( 图 案 ) named according to their shapes, usages or origins. For example, Double Coin Knots are called shuangqian Jie because they are in the shape of two ancient Chinese coins, meaning “good things come in pairs” . However, almost all the main styles of Chinese fancy knots are made up of two exactly similar parts, and the patterns on the front and the back sides are also similar in every detail. In addition, Chinese knots are famous for their bright colours. Each of the Chinese knots is made of a single string of cotton, silk, gold or silver. But the colours of the strings are rich and have different traditional cultural meanings. Among the most commonly used base colours, red means goodluck and happiness, green means health, and yellow, which was once known as a emperor’s colour, may means wealth and honour. In brief, the famous Chinese fancy knots fully reflect (反 映 ) the depth of Chinese culture. These brightly coloured knots of different patterns, with their endless chains of knots, mean that life on earth will continue forever. 50. When did Chinese fancy knots become popular? 51. What does the Chinese character for “knot” mean? 52. Why do people express strong wishes with Chinese knots? 53. Would you like to make Chinese fancy knots? Why or why not?
