But what killed Facebook for me was when I posted a photo, and five minutes later my son asked me how many “likes” it had got. His question was a wake-up call. “Likes” are signs of acceptance and approval. I had forgotten that acceptance and approval need to come from within and had unknowingly set him a bad example. Before absorbed in Facebook, I spent a lot more time reading books and magazines. I checked in with friends through texts, emails and phone calls. To set a healthier example to my son, I deactivated my Facebook account. I’d been in the habit of checking Facebook many times a day, so I had to come up with some new habits. I carried a novel and a crossword puzzle book around with me. I rediscovered knitting. I went to the gym to take yoga classes. I started to remember a few things. My body is fine just the way it is. I have friends who will help me out when I’m in trouble, and I will help them out. I do my best to be a good mother, and our son is happy and healthy. We are very lucky to be able to afford two vacations a year. I stopped looking at the world through my cellphone. I felt completely present in the moment. The break left me feeling better about myself, my family, my home and my life. After a few weeks, I returned to Facebook. Now I look at the photos of my friends’ kids growing up and treasure how social media allows me to keep in touch with family. I no longer have the desire to post updates often. It is not an addiction any more. 41. What made the author begin to realize she should do something to control her time on Facebook? A. Her poor health. B. Her son’s question. C. Her not receiving “likes”. D. Her mother’s phone call. 42. The underlined word “deactivate” in Paragraph 5 probably means ________. A. to close B. to update C. to keep D. to check 43. What did the author do to change her life? A. She tried to be a good mother. B. She developed some healthy habits. C. She planned two vacations a year. D. She went to the gym as often as she could. 44. What did the author think of her break from Facebook? A. It stopped her getting news. B. It distanced her from her friends. C. It helped her contact with the family. D. It gave her time to find beauty in life. 45. What is the author’s attitude toward social media? A. She supports them completely. B. She is strongly against them. C. She thinks they are useful but shouldn’t be overused. D. She thinks they’re good ways to watch kids grow up. 【答案】41. B 42. A 43. B 44. D 45. C 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇记叙文。主要记叙了作者一次在Facebook上传了照片后，儿子问作者得到了多少赞，从而让作者意识到她应该做些什么来控制她在Facebook上的时间。于是作者关闭了Facebook账号，开始重新培养新的健康习惯，这让她重新发现了生活中的美好，更加珍惜当下。 【41题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段But what killed Facebook for me was when I posted a photo, and five minutes later my son asked me how many “likes” it had got. His question was a wake-up call.可知但真正让我对Facebook失去兴趣的是我上传了一张照片，五分钟后我儿子问我这张照片得到了多少“赞”。他的问题敲响了警钟。以及第二段中I had forgotten that acceptance and approval need to come from within and had unknowingly set him a bad example.可知我忘记了接受和认可需要发自内心，不知不觉地给他树立了一个坏榜样。由此可推知，作者儿子的问题让作者开始意识到她应该做些什么来控制她在Facebook上的时间。故选B。 【42题详解】 词义猜测题。根据上文To set a healthier example to my son以及后文my Facebook account可知为了给儿子树立一个健康的榜样，作者关闭了自己的Facebook账号。后文作者决定养成新的习惯也证明了这一点。故划线单词意思为“关闭”。故选A。 【43题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段I’d been in the habit of checking Facebook many times a day, so I had to come up with some new habits. I carried a novel and a crossword puzzle book around with me. I rediscovered knitting. I went to the gym to take yoga classes.可知我已经养成了每天查看Facebook很多次的习惯，所以我不得不想出一些新的习惯。我随身带着一本小说和一本字谜游戏书。我重新编织。我去健身房上瑜伽课。由此可知，作者养成了一些健康的习惯来改变她的生活。故选B。 【44题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第三段中I felt completely present in the moment. The break left me feeling better about myself, my family, my home and my life.可知我完全沉浸在当下这一刻。这段时间的休息让我对自己、家人、家庭和生活的感觉更好了。由此可知，作者觉得她离开Facebook的行为给了她时间去发现生活中的美好。故选D。 【45题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中Now I look at the photos of my friends’ kids growing up and treasure how social media allows me to keep in touch with family. I no longer have the desire to post updates often.可知现在我看着朋友的孩子们长大的照片，很珍惜社交媒体让我与家人保持联系。我不再渴望经常更新。以及最后一段It is not an addiction any more.可知它不再是一种瘾。由此可推知，作者认为社交媒体是有用的，但不应该过度使用。故选C。 C Farmers often feel they need a lot of sunshine to produce a good crop. But lots of vegetables grow well without much sun. The Rodale Institute in Pennsylvania published a report about this subject some years ago in its magazine Organic Gardening. The report said many different kinds of foods, from blueberries to beans, can be grown in the shade. Some vegetables do need a lot of sun. A vegetable crop expert at the University of Maine advised putting these vegetables where they can get from eight to ten hours of sunlight a day. Tomatoes, melons, squash and peppers are among those that need the most sun. Plants that produce root crops, such as carrots and beets, need from six to eight hours of sunlight every day. But leafy vegetables, such as lettuce and spinach, need only six hours of sunlight a day. The Rodale Institute says a garden should be planned carefully especially if you grow different kinds of foods. For example, rows of vegetables should be planted in an east-west direction. That way, as the sun passes overhead, all the plants will receive an equal amount of light. This is especially important when the plants grow to different heights. Nut trees such as filbert, hazelnut and yellowhorn produce well with only sun in the morning. Some fruits also do well without a lot of sunlight. In the United States, blueberries, raspberries, and several kinds of pears need only a little sun each day. In Asia, the hard y kiwi grows well in the shade. Many herbs grow well without much sun. Mint plants, for example, grow well in the shade. So do sage, dill, oregano, borage, chamomile and several kinds of thyme. Mr Brown, the owner of a garden seed company warned against removing shade trees. He cut down all his shade trees to provide more sun for his crops. But then he had to protect his summer lettuce from the heat of the sun by hanging a piece of cloth to provide shade. Instead of cutting trees, he suggested putting plants that need a lot of sunlight, such as tomatoes, in containers. That way they can be moved as the sun moves. 46. Rows of vegetables should be planted in an east-west direction so that the plants can . A. grow to the same height B. share the same amount of light C. grow well in the shade D. get enough water 47. Which kind of plant should NOT be grown in the shade? A. Blueberries. B. Beans. C. Sage. D. Tomatoes. 48. According to Mr Brown what is a good way to provide more sun for crops in his garden? A. Cutting down all shade trees. B. Hanging a piece of cloth to provide shade. C. Removing the leafy vegetables. D. Putting plants which need a lot of sunlight in containers. 49. What’s the purpose of writing the passage? A. To advise farmers to plant crops in the sun. B. To explain why not all plants need much sunshine. C. To show that farmers should choose suitable places for different plants. D. To introduce the procedure of growing plants. 50. What is the text most likely taken from? A. A science magazine. B. A newspaper. C. A government report. D. A story book. 【答案】46. B 47. D 48. D 49. C 50. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文主要介绍了不同的植物生长需要不同的光照时间，农民应该为不同的植物选择合适的地方。 【46题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段关键句“For example, rows of vegetables should be planted in an east-west direction. That way, as the sun passes overhead, all the plants will receive an equal amount of light. (例如，一排排蔬菜应该东西向种植。这样，当太阳从头顶经过时，所有的植物都会接收到等量的光线)”可知，一排排蔬菜应该东西向种植，这样植物才能分享相同的光量。故选B项。 【47题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段关键句“Tomatoes, melons, squash and peppers are among those that need the most sun. (西红柿、甜瓜、南瓜和辣椒是最需要阳光的食物的一部分)”可知，西红柿是最需要阳光的食物之一。由此可知，西红柿不应该在阴凉处生长。故选D项。 【48题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段内容“Instead of cutting trees, he suggested putting plants that need a lot of sunlight, such as tomatoes, in containers. That way they can be moved as the sun moves. (他建议把需要大量阳光的植物，如西红柿，放在容器里，而不是砍伐树木。这样它们就可以随着太阳的移动而移动)”可知，布朗先生认为——为花园里的作物提供更多阳光的好方法是将需要大量阳光的植物放入容器中。故选D项。 【49题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，结合第五段关键句“The Rodale Institute says a garden should be planned carefully especially if you grow different kinds of foods. (罗代尔研究所表示，花园应该仔细规划，特别是如果你种植不同种类的食物)”可知，本文主要讲述了不同的植物生长需要不同的光照时间，如果你种植不同种类的食物，应该为不同的植物选择合适的地方，获得合理的光照时间。由此推知，这篇文章的目的是告诉农民应该为不同的植物选择合适的地方。故选C项。 【50题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，结合第一段内容“Farmers often feel they need a lot of sunshine to produce a good crop. But lots of vegetables grow well without much sun. (农民们经常觉得他们需要大量的阳光才能长出好庄稼。但是很多蔬菜在没有太多阳光的情况下长得很好)”可知，本文主要介绍了一些农业科学知识。由此推知，本文最有可能出自一本科学杂志。故选A项。 D If you seek happiness, then you need to know what happiness is for you. I don’t believe there is one universal definition (普遍定义) of happiness. Happiness is a very subjective (主观的) emotion, according to me. Put two people in identical situation: same amount of money, life experiences, etc. and you can be pretty sure that they both wouldn’t feel equally happy or equally sad. I believe this is so because there are two kinds of happiness. There is one kind of happiness, which is kind of universal and then there is the other kind, which is very individual to each one of us. It is this kind of happiness that I find more interesting. The second kind of happiness that I talk about comes from our expectations out of our lives, which vary from person to person. For example, a person who expects a lot out of his or her life may find that happiness is hard to find. They are constantly in search of these things in life, which always seem to elude them. Those things may be money or fame or power or any of the other pursuits (追求) that humans have, but it would be likely that such people are less likely to be happy, if their goals are not met. In most cases, even after their goals are met, they don’t find happiness, because they seek more — new goals, new wish lists, and it’s a seemingly never-ending process for them! On the other hand, a person who takes life as it comes along and makes the best of each day is more likely to be happy every day. They have no pressure or goals to occupy their minds and they can achieve happiness from the simple pleasures of everyday life, finding love, making time for the family and kids, seeing their kids grow, etc. Of course, that doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t have any expectations at all. You should keep those expectations reasonable and manageable. 51. Which of the following is the author’s opinion according to Paragraph 1? A. Happiness has only one universal definition. B. Every individual has his own happiness. C. There are no people who are really happy. D. Happiness means having money and power. 52. What does the underlined part “these things” in Paragraph 2 probably refer to? A. Daily demands. B. Life experiences. C. Ideas about happiness. D. Expectations out of life. 53. Even if their goals are met, some people still don’t feel happy because . A. they gave too much for their goals B. they don’t know what happiness is C. they have new goals that need achieving D. they think sadness is a never-ending process 54. What kind of person is likely to be happy in the author’s opinion? A. He who has a lot of expectations. B. He who has no goals at all. C. He who has a great ambition or dream. D. He who can find fun from his daily life. 55. The author writes this passage mainly to tell readers . A the reasons for being happiness B. the importance of happiness C. to enjoy every day to the fullest D. to give up their dreams and be practical 【答案】51. B 52. D 53. C 54. D 55. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要讨论了幸福的概念和寻找幸福的方法。作者提到了两种幸福：一种是普遍存在的幸福，另一种是个人特定的幸福。作者指出，那些对生活抱有很高期望的人可能很难找到幸福，因为他们不断追求着无法得到的东西。相比之下，那些能够接受现实并享受生活中简单的快乐的人更容易感到幸福。 【51题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“I believe this is so because there are two kinds of happiness. There is one kind of happiness, which is kind of universal and then there is the other kind, which is very individual to each one of us.(我相信这是因为有两种幸福。有一种幸福，是普遍存在的；还有一种幸福，是我们每个人都有不同的幸福)”可知，作者认为存在两种幸福，一种是普遍的幸福，一种是每个个体不同的幸福。故选B。 【52题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“For example, a person who expects a lot out of his or her life may find that happiness is hard to find.(例如，一个对他或她的生活期望很高的人可能会发现幸福很难找到)”以及“They are constantly in search of”可知，对生活期望很高的人不断地寻找对生活的期望。由此推知，划线词指的是“对生活的期望”。故选D。 【53题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“In most cases, even after their goals are met, they don’t find happiness, because they seek more — new goals, new wish lists, and it’s a seemingly never-ending process for them!(在大多数情况下，即使他们的目标实现了，他们也找不到幸福，因为他们追求更多——新的目标，新的愿望清单，这对他们来说似乎是一个永无止境的过程！)”可知，尽管有些人实现了目标，可是他们依旧不幸福，是因为他们要追求更多的新目标，这对他们来说似乎是一个永无止境的过程。故选C。 【54题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“On the other hand, a person who takes life as it comes along and makes the best of each day is more likely to be happy every day. They have no pressure or goals to occupy their minds and they can achieve happiness from the simple pleasures of everyday life, finding love, making time for the family and kids, seeing their kids grow, etc. (另一方面，一个接受生活并充分利用每一天的人更有可能每天都很快乐。他们没有压力或目标来占据他们的思想，他们可以从日常生活的简单快乐中获得幸福，寻找爱情，为家人和孩子腾出时间，看着他们的孩子成长等等)”可知，一个接受生活并且充分利用每一天的人，在简单的生活中获得幸福。故选D。 【55题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“I believe this is so because there are two kinds of happiness. There is one kind of happiness, which is kind of universal and then there is the other kind, which is very individual to each one of us.(我相信这是因为有两种幸福。有一种幸福，是普遍存在的；还有一种幸福，是我们每个人都有不同的幸福)”以及最后一段中“On the other hand, a person who takes life as it comes along and makes the best of each day is more likely to be happy every day. They have no pressure or goals to occupy their minds and they can achieve happiness from the simple pleasures of everyday life, finding love, making time for the family and kids, seeing their kids grow, etc.(另一方面，一个接受生活并充分利用每一天的人更有可能每天都很快乐。他们没有压力或目标来占据他们的思想，他们可以从日常生活的简单快乐中获得幸福，寻找爱情，为家人和孩子腾出时间，看着他们的孩子成长等等)”以及通读全文可知，这篇文章主要讨论了幸福的概念和寻找幸福的方法。作者指出，那些对生活抱有很高期望的人可能很难找到幸福，因为他们不断追求着无法得到的东西。相比之下，那些能够接受现实并享受生活中简单的快乐的人更容易感到幸福。由此推知，本篇文章的目的是告诉读者们充分的享受当下的每一天，接受当下的每一天并享受生活中简单的快乐是最能够感到幸福的。故选C。 Ⅱ卷(共35分) 第四部分：(共2 小节； 满分35分) 第一节：阅读表达(满分10分) 阅读表达 I used to be a selfish girl and I only thought of myself. I did not care about helping others, but only about my look, clothes, money and grades. One day, I was suddenly influenced by my neighbor, who is now in college, and ended up wanting to volunteer for others. He had so much fun with volunteering and told me that he felt extremely good after helping others. I hoped to get the same results, for I felt worthless everywhere then. I viewed almost everything in a negative way, and I figured I had to experience something that would make me appreciate things that I had. I volunteered at the nursing home for a year where my neighbor volunteered. I brought snacks, coffee and games for the elderly patients, talked to them while sharing snacks, and played games like chess and checkers with them. Because they were Koreans, they often had trouble communicating with the helpers who were hired to help them. I sometimes translated things for them and offered to be their translator whenever they needed help. By volunteering at the nursing home,I changed a lot. I realized how lucky I am to speak both Korean and English and that I should help other people learn Korean as well. I had learned many life lessons through volunteering. By helping others, I felt needed in society. Not only did it boost my confidence, but it also allowed others to benefit from it. Volunteering is a great opportunity to improve oneself, others, and the whole society. So if you ever have the chance, volunteer! It's something you won't regret 56. What kind of person was the author before volunteering? ( no more than 5 words) ______________________________________________________________________________ 57. Why did the author want to volunteer one day?( no more than 10 words) ______________________________________________________________________________ 58. What did the author do when the elderly patients had difficulty in communicating with the workers?( no more than 10 words) ______________________________________________________________________________ 59. What does the underlined word in Paragraph 4 mean? ( no more than 3 words) ______________________________________________________________________________ 60. What do you think of volunteering after reading the text? ( no more than 20 words) ______________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】56. She was a selfish person./She was selfish. 57. Because she wanted to experience some positive changes. 58. She offered to be their translator whenever they needed help. 59. Improve/Increase/Enhance/Raise. 60. I think volunteering not only helps those who need help, but also benefits the givers and the society. 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。作者用自己的经历告诉我们参加志愿者活动是提升自己、帮助他人和整个社会的机会，我们应该积极参与自愿者活动。 【56题详解】 考查细节理解。根据第一段“I used to be a selfish girl and I only thought of myself.(我曾经是一个自私的女孩，我只考虑自己)”和第二段中“I viewed almost everything in a negative way, and I figured I had to experience something that would make me appreciate things that I had.(我几乎以消极的方式看待一切，我想我必须经历一些事情，让我珍惜我所拥有的一切)”可知，在做志愿者之前，作者是一个自私且消极的人。故答案为She was a selfish person./She was selfish. 【57题详解】 考查细节理解。根据第二段“One day, I was suddenly influenced by my neighbor, who is now in college, and ended up wanting to volunteer for others. He had so much fun with volunteering and told me that he felt extremely good after helping others. I hoped to get the same results, for I felt worthless everywhere then.(有一天，我突然受到了我的邻居的影响，他现在正在上大学，最后我想为别人做志愿者。他在志愿服务中得到了很多乐趣，他告诉我，在帮助别人之后，他感觉非常好。我希望得到同样的结果，因为那时我觉得自己在任何地方都毫无价值)”可知，作者受到作志愿者的邻居的影响，也想通过做志愿者得到乐趣，让自己感觉更好一些，所以想去当志愿者。故答案为Because she wanted to experience some positive changes. 【58题详解】 考查细节理解。根据第三段“Because they were Koreans, they often had trouble communicating with the helpers who were hired to help them. I sometimes translated things for them and offered to be their translator whenever they needed help.(由于他们是韩国人，他们经常与雇佣来帮助他们的助手沟通困难。我有时会为他们翻译一些东西，并在他们需要帮助的时候提供翻译)”可知，当老年患者与工作人员沟通有困难时，作者会为他们翻译东西，提供翻译服务。故答案为She offered to be their translator whenever they needed help. 【59题详解】 考查词句猜测。划线词所在段介绍了志愿者工作给作者带来的积极影响，结合划线词所在句“Not only did it enhance my confidence, but it also allowed others to benefit from it.(这不仅enhance了我的信心，也让别人从中受益)”中“my confidence”可推知，志愿者工作“增强”了作者的自信心，enhance的意思是“增强，提高”，可用Improve/ Increase/Enhance/Raise来解释。故答案为Improve/ Increase/Enhance/Raise. 【60题详解】 开放性试题。言之有理，注意词数。比如：根据“你觉得做志愿者怎么样？”可回答：我认为志愿服务不仅可以帮助那些需要帮助的人，也有利于给予者和社会。故答案为I think volunteering not only helps those who need help, but also benefits the givers and the society. 第二节：书面表达 (满分25分) 61. 假设你是李华，打算邀请交换生Eric参观主题为“中国古代文化”的展览(包括中国古代服饰，书法，绘画等)。请给他写封邮件，内容包括：1.发出邀请；2.说明展览时间，地点、内容和意义；3.表达期待。 注意：1.词数不少于 100词； 2.可适当增加细节，以使行文连贯。 参考词汇：展览exhibition；中国古代文化ancient Chinese culture；书法 calligraphy Dear Eric, ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours, Li Hua 【答案】Dear Eric, Knowing that you have a strong passion for traditional Chinese culture, I’m writing to invite you to attend an exhibition themed “Ancient Chinese Culture”, which will be held in the museum.

But what killed Facebook for me was when I posted a photo, and five minutes later my son asked me how many “likes” it had got. His question was a wake-up call. “Likes” are signs of acceptance and approval. I had forgotten that acceptance and approval need to come from within and had unknowingly set him a bad example. Before absorbed in Facebook, I spent a lot more time reading books and magazines. I checked in with friends through texts, emails and phone calls. To set a healthier example to my son, I deactivated my Facebook account. I’d been in the habit of checking Facebook many times a day, so I had to come up with some new habits. I carried a novel and a crossword puzzle book around with me. I rediscovered knitting. I went to the gym to take yoga classes. I started to remember a few things. My body is fine just the way it is. I have friends who will help me out when I’m in trouble, and I will help them out. I do my best to be a good mother, and our son is happy and healthy. We are very lucky to be able to afford two vacations a year. I stopped looking at the world through my cellphone. I felt completely present in the moment. The break left me feeling better about myself, my family, my home and my life. After a few weeks, I returned to Facebook. Now I look at the photos of my friends’ kids growing up and treasure how social media allows me to keep in touch with family. I no longer have the desire to post updates often. It is not an addiction any more. 41. What made the author begin to realize she should do something to control her time on Facebook? A. Her poor health. B. Her son’s question. C.

C Farmers often feel they need a lot of sunshine to produce a good crop. But lots of vegetables grow well without much sun. The Rodale Institute in Pennsylvania published a report about this subject some years ago in its magazine Organic Gardening. The report said many different kinds of foods, from blueberries to beans, can be grown in the shade. Some vegetables do need a lot of sun. A vegetable crop expert at the University of Maine advised putting these vegetables where they can get from eight to ten hours of sunlight a day. Tomatoes melons, squash and peppers are among those that need the most sun. Plants that produce root crops, such as carrots and beets, need from six to eight hours of sunlight every day. But leafy vegetables, such as lettuce and spinach, need only six hours of sunlight a day. The Rodale Institute says a garden should be planned carefully especially if you grow different kinds of foods. For example, rows of vegetables should be planted in an east-west direction. That way, as the sun passes overhead, all the plants will receive an equal amount of light. This is especially important when the plants grow to different heights. Nut trees such as filbert, hazelnut and yellowhorn produce well with only sun in the morning. Some fruits also do well without a lot of sunlight. In the United States, blueberries, raspberries, and several kinds of pears need only a little sun each day. In Asia, the hard y kiwi grows well in the shade. Many herbs grow well without much sun. Mint plants for example, grow well in the shade. So do sage, dill, oregano, borage, chamomile and several kinds of thyme. Mr Brown, the owner of a garden seed company warned against removing shade trees. He cut down all his shade trees to provide more sun for his crops. But then he had to protect his summer lettuce from the heat of the sun by hanging a piece of cloth to provide shade. Instead of cutting trees, he suggested putting plants that need a lot of sunlight, such as tomatoes, in containers. That way they can be moved as the sun moves. 46. Rows of vegetables should be planted in an east-west direction so that the plants can . A. grow to the same height B. share the same amount of light C. grow well in the shade D. get enough water 47. Which kind of plant should NOT be grown in the shade? A. Blueberries. B. Beans. C. Sage. D. Tomatoes. 48. According to Mr Brown what is a good way to provide more sun for crops in his garden? A. Cutting down all shade trees. B. Hanging a piece of cloth to provide shade. C. Removing the leafy vegetables. D. Putting plants which need a lot of sunlight in containers. 49. What’s the purpose of writing the passage? A. To advise farmers to plant crops in the sun. B. To explain why not all plants need much sunshine. C. To show that farmers should choose suitable places for different plants. D. To introduce the procedure of growing plants. 50. What is the text most likely taken from? A. A science magazine. B. A newspaper. C. A government report. D. A story book. D If you seek happiness, then you need to know what happiness is for you. I don’t believe there is one universal definition (普遍定义) of happiness. Happiness is a very subjective (主观的) emotion, according to me. Put two people in identical situation: same amount of money, life experiences, etc. and you can be pretty sure that they both wouldn’t feel equally happy or equally sad. I believe this is so because there are two kinds of happiness. There is one kind of happiness, which is kind of universal and then there is the other kind, which is very individual to each one of us. It is this kind of happiness that I find more interesting. The second kind of happiness that I talk about comes from our expectations out of our lives, which vary from person to person. For example, a person who expects a lot out of his or her life may find that happiness is hard to find. They are constantly in search of these things in life, which always seem to elude them. Those things may be money or fame or power or any of the other pursuits (追求) that humans have, but it would be likely that such people are less likely to be happy, if their goals are not met. In most cases, even after their goals are met, they don’t find happiness, because they seek more — new goals, new wish lists, and it’s a seemingly never-ending process for them! On the other hand, a person who takes life as it comes along and makes the best of each day is more likely to be happy every day. They have no pressure or goals to occupy their minds and they can achieve happiness from the simple pleasures of everyday life, finding love, making time for the family and kids, seeing their kids grow, etc. Of course, that doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t have any expectations at all. You should keep those expectations reasonable and manageable. 51. Which of the following is the author’s opinion according to Paragraph 1? A. Happiness has only one universal definition. B. Every individual has his own happiness. C. There are no people who are really happy. D. Happiness means having money and power. 52. What does the underlined part “these things” in Paragraph 2 probably refer to? A. Daily demands. B. Life experiences. C Ideas about happiness. D. Expectations out of life. 53. Even if their goals are met, some people still don’t feel happy because . A. they gave too much for their goals B. they don’t know what happiness is C. they have new goals that need achieving D. they think sadness is a never-ending process 54. What kind of person is likely to be happy in the author’s opinion? A. He who has a lot of expectations. B. He who has no goals at all. C. He who has a great ambition or dream. D. He who can find fun from his daily life. 55. The author writes this passage mainly to tell readers . A. the reasons for being happiness B. the importance of happiness C. to enjoy every day to the fullest D. to give up their dreams and be practical Ⅱ卷(共35分) 第四部分：(共2 小节； 满分35分) 第一节：阅读表达(满分10分) 阅读表达 I used to be a selfish girl and I only thought of myself. I did not care about helping others, but only about my look, clothes, money and grades. One day, I was suddenly influenced by my neighbor, who is now in college, and ended up wanting to volunteer for others. He had so much fun with volunteering and told me that he felt extremely good after helping others. I hoped to get the same results, for I felt worthless everywhere then. I viewed almost everything in a negative way, and I figured I had to experience something that would make me appreciate things that I had. I volunteered at the nursing home for a year where my neighbor volunteered. I brought snacks, coffee and games for the elderly patients, talked to them while sharing snacks, and played games like chess and checkers with them. Because they were Koreans, they often had trouble communicating with the helpers who were hired to help them. I sometimes translated things for them and offered to be their translator whenever they needed help. By volunteering at the nursing home,I changed a lot. I realized how lucky I am to speak both Korean and English and that I should help other people learn Korean as well. I had learned many life lessons through volunteering. By helping others, I felt needed in society. Not only did it boost my confidence, but it also allowed others to benefit from it. Volunteering is a great opportunity to improve oneself, others, and the whole society. So if you ever have the chance, volunteer! It's something you won't regret 56.
