But for the past two weeks, he hasn’t called for even once. “A few of my staff mentioned that we hadn’t seen his order in a while. Then I found that it had been 12 days since he last ordered, which is not like him,” Domino’s general manager Sarah Fuller said, feeling she could no longer ignore Kirk’s recent absence. Sarah has known Kirk since 2009, when she started working at the Domino’s Pizza as a deliver driver and often made the short trip to Kirk’s home about six minutes away. She knew Kirk worked from home, and neighbors said he seldom left. She also knew that he had some health problems in the past. Something, Sarah worried, was wrong. Around 1 a.m. on May 8, Sarah sent delivery driver Sean Hamblen to visit Kirk’s home. Sean arrived at Kirk’s home and knocked on the front door several times. There was no answer. He later noticed that the lights and the TV in the home were on. When he called Kirk’s phone, it went straight to voice mail. Sean drove back to the restaurant to tell Sarah and they decided to call 911. Soon, officers arrived at Kirk’s home. So did Sarah and Sean. They heard a man calling for help from inside. Officers broke down the door and found Kirk on the floor in need of medical attention at once after suffering from a heart attack. One day later, they might have been too late. So is keeping an eye on regular customers part of Domino’s business plan? Not really. “Kirk is part of our family here and we feel like we need to do something.” Sarah said. 4. Why did Sarah send a delivery driver to visit Kirk? A. Because her staff asked her to do so. B. Because she was worried about Kirk. C. Because she wanted Kirk to order meals. D. Because she knew Kirk had a heart attack. 5. What happened to Sean when he first arrived at Kirk’s house? A. He called 911 at once. B. He heard Kirk calling for help. C. He didn’t get any reply from Kirk. D. He tried to break into Kirk’s house. 6. How can we best describe Sarah? A. Clever and polite. B. Brave and patient. C. Hard-working and careful. D. Warm-hearted and helpful. 7. What’s the best title for the text? A. A man who ordered pizza for years B. Domino’s Pizza served as a life savior C. Regular customers of Domino’s Pizza D. Helping others means helping ourselves 【答案】4. B 5. C 6. D 7. B 【解析】 【分析】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了萨拉是一个热心、乐于助人，正因为她送的披萨救了柯克的命，所以Domino的披萨是生命的救世主。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“She knew Kirk worked from home, and neighbors said he seldom left. She also knew that he had some health problems in the past. Something, Sarah worried, was wrong.(她知道柯克在家工作，邻居说他很少离开。她也知道他过去有一些健康问题。萨拉担心出了什么事)”可知，莎拉派了个送货司机去找柯克因为她很担心柯克。故选B。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“Sean arrived at Kirk’s home and knocked on the front door several times. There was no answer.(肖恩来到柯克家，敲了几下前门。没有人回答)”可知，当肖恩第一次到柯克家的时候，他没有得到柯克的任何答复。故选C。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。纵观全文，特别是最后一段“So is keeping an eye on regular customers part of Domino’s business plan? Not really. “Kirk is part of our family here and we feel like we need to do something.” Sarah said.(那么，关注老客户是Domino业务计划的一部分吗？不是真的。“柯克是我们家族的一员，我们觉得需要做点什么。”莎拉说)”可知，萨拉是一个热心、乐于助人。故选D。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第四段中“Sarah sent delivery driver Sean Hamblen to visit Kirk’s home. Sean arrived at Kirk’s home and knocked on the front door several times. There was no answer.(莎拉派送货司机肖恩·汉布伦去柯克家。肖恩来到柯克家，敲了几下前门。没有人回答)”和第五段中“Sean drove back to the restaurant to tell Sarah and they decided to call 911.(肖恩开车回到餐厅告诉莎拉，他们决定打911)”以及最后一段“So is keeping an eye on regular customers part of Domino’s business plan? Not really. “Kirk is part of our family here and we feel like we need to do something.” Sarah said.(那么，关注老客户是Domino业务计划的一部分吗？不是真的。“柯克是我们家族的一员，我们觉得需要做点什么。”莎拉说)”可知，文章主语讲述了萨拉是一个热心、乐于助人，正因为她送的披萨救了柯克的命。由此可知，本文最佳主题是Domino’s Pizza served as a life savior. (Domino的披萨是生命的救世主)。故选B。 C Thomas Cheatham had planned to study Latin during his time at Hebron High School in Texas. But when he learned that the school district was going to offer a Mandarin(普通话) class, he quickly changed his mind. “I thought Mandarin would be more beneficial than Latin,” said Cheatham, who is now in his second year of studying the language. He speaks Mandarin to order food at Chinese restaurants and can read social media posts from his Chinese-speaking friends. While it’s a difficult language to master, the high school junior, who plans to study computer engineering, thinks it will be important for his career. “Chinese is a good language to know, especially with China becoming a growing power,” he said. Many experts agree that proficiency(熟练) in a language spoken by a billion people worldwide will give American students an edge in the global economy. “People are looking at China as our next economic competitor, and interest in Mandarin is growing fast,” said Marty Abbott, director of the American Council(议会) on the Teaching of Foreign Languages. “We’re seeing it in all parts of the country.” Abbott predicts that as many as 100,000 students are now studying Mandarin in public and private schools throughout the US. She said the US government has designated (指定) Mandarin as an “important needs” language and provides professional development programs for teachers. “Our government wants to increase our language ability for national security and economic competitiveness,” Abbott added. At the same time, the Chinese government is spreading knowledge of the Chinese language and culture through Confucius Institutes set up in many US states. For example, the Confucius Institute at the University of Texas in Dallas has been the home of a Confucius Institute for 10 years. It sponsors Confucius Classrooms at 21 local public and private schools, where tens of thousands of students are learning Mandarin. 8. Why did Thomas Cheatham decide to study Mandarin instead of Latin? A. Mandarin was easier to learn than Latin. B. Mandarin could be helpful to his future career. C. Mandarin might help him learn more about China. D. Mandarin could enable him to study computer engineering. 9. The underlined word “edge” in Paragraph 4 probably means “________”. A. a slight advantage B. the outside limit C. a sharp tone of voice D. an exciting quality 10. Which of the following statements might Marty Abbott agree with? A. Mandarin should be taught in classrooms throughout the US. B. Those skilled at Chinese will be the most competitive in the future. C. The US government’s policy has helped popularize Mandarin in the US. D. Americans learn Mandarin because they worry about their national security. 11. What does the author mainly talk about in this passage? A. The rising popularity of Mandarin among American students. B. The great benefits of learning Mandarin for American students. C. The influence of China’s growing power on American education. D. The effect of Confucius Institutes in promoting Mandarin in the US. 【答案】8. B 9. A 10. C 11. A 【解析】 【分析】本文是说明文。主要以一个美国学生的经历为例来讲述随着中国经济的发展，普通话在美国校园很流行，这是中国在世界舞台上地位上升的一个反映。许多美国学生认为学习中文能够在今后职业发展的道路上有所帮助，美国政府对中文的重视也促使更多的学生学习中文。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中的While it’s a difficult language to master, the high school junior, who plans to study computer engineering, thinks it will be important for his career.可知，Thomas希望中文能够在他今后职业发展的道路上对他有所帮助。故选B。 【9题详解】 词义猜测题。根据本句句意可知，汉语是一门全世界10亿人说的语言，专家认为掌握了它的人会在全球经济中有优势，故选项A符合题意。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段She said the US government has designated (指定) Mandarin as an important needs language and provides professional development programs for teachers. 可知，美国政府的政策促进了普通话在美国的普及，故选C。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。纵观全文，主要介绍了美国学生学习中文热情升温的现象，分析了出现该现象的背景和原因，故选A。 D Which comes first, happiness or money? Are richer people happier? And if so, how do people get much richer? A recent study could tell you the answer. The study looked into thousands of teenagers and found that those who felt better about life as young adults tended to have higher incomes by the time they turned 29. Those who were happiest earned an average of $8, 000 more than those who were the most depressed. The researchers, from University College London and the University of Warwick, say that very gloomy teens, no matter how tall or smart they were, earned 10% less than their peers, while the happier ones earned up to 30% more. Happier teenagers have an easier time getting through school, college and a job interview, chiefly because they always feel better about life. It may also be true that happier people find it easier to make friends, who are often the key to homework help or networking. A report in June suggested that professional respect was more important than dollars in terms of workplace happiness. In August scientists announced that they had found the gene for happiness in women, Alas (the same gene doesn't appear to have the same effect on men). And in October researchers in the UK and in the US announced that people who eat seven portions of fruit and vegetables a day report being the happiest. The big question is: if it really is true that happier kids end up being wealthier kids, is it necessary for parents to get their kids to do the homework? The fact is that no homework will make kids happy but surely hurt their grades. Studies do show, after all, that more education leads to better-paid jobs, which may give us a deep thought. "These findings show that the teenagers’ happiness is important to their future success," one of the report's authors writes. "But what is the most important is that we should find a way to help children gain more satisfaction from doing schoolwork." 12. What conclusion can the researchers draw from the recent study? A. Happy teenagers grow up to be wealthier. B. Money can make people become happier. C Wealth has nothing to do with happiness at all. D Schoolwork can help teens achieve success. 13. The main reason why happier people have more chances to succeed is that_____. A. they are easy to communicate with others B. they are good at doing their schoolwork C. they are hopeful and optimistic about their life D. they eat much more fruit and vegetables a day 14. The underlined word “gloomy” in Paragraph 3 probably means “______”. A. upset B. glorious C. happy D. wealthy 15. What can be the best title for the text? A. The way to educate kids B. The source of happiness C. How to achieve your goal D. The secret of being wealthier 【答案】12. A 13. C 14. A 15. D 【解析】 【分析】本文为一篇议论文。文章主要讨论幸福与富有有密切的关系。经过对青少年的调查发现感到最幸福的青年人比感到最不幸福的青年人收入高。调查还发现，家庭作业会伤害青少年，不会让青少年感到幸福。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段的“These findings show that the teenagers’ happiness is important to their future success(这些发现表明，青少年的幸福对他们未来的成功很重要)”可推知，快乐的青少年长大后会更富有。故选A。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段的“Happier teenagers have an easier time getting through school, college and a job interview, chiefly because they always feel better about life.(更快乐的青少年更容易完成学业、上大学和参加工作面试，主要是因为他们对生活的感觉更好)”可知，快乐的人有更多成功的机会的主要原因是，他们对生活充满希望和乐观。故选C。 【14题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词后文“no matter how tall or smart they were, earned 10% less than their peers, while the happier ones earned up to 30% more.(无论他们多么高或多么聪明，比他们的同龄人挣得少10%，而快乐的人挣得多30%)”可知，while前后是比对关系，while后面句子的主语是the happier(更幸福的人)。由此推知，while前面的句子主语应是不幸福的人，伤心的。由此推知，划线词gloomy与upset意思相近。故选A。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Which comes first, happiness or money? Are richer people happier? And if so, how do people get much richer? A recent study could tell you the answer.(幸福和金钱哪个更重要?富人更幸福吗?如果是这样，人们是如何变得更富有的?最近的一项研究可以告诉你答案)”可知，本文主要讲述了幸福与富有有密切关系的研究。由此可知，The secret of being wealthier(变得更富有的秘密)适合作本文最佳标题。故选D。 第二节：（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Kids' health：Four steps for fighting stress Everybody gets stressed from time to time. ___16___ Some ways of dealing with stress — like screaming or hitting someone — don't solve (解决) much. But other ways, like talking to someone you trust, can lead you to solving your problem or at least feeling better. Try taking these four steps the next time you are stressed： (1)Get support. When you need help, reach out to the people who care about you. Talk to a trusted adult，such as a parent or other relatives. ___17___ They might have had similar problems，such as dealing with a test, or the death of a beloved pet.

Don't take it out on yourself. ___18___ (3)Try to solve the problem. After you're calm and you have support from adults and friends，it's time to get down to business. ___19___ Even if you can't solve all of it，you can solve a piece of it. (4)Be positive. Most stress is temporary (暂时的). Remember stress does go away, especially when you figure out the problem and start working on solving it. These steps aren't magic，but they do work.

Notice your friends' feelings and find a way to help them. C. Different people feel stress in different ways. D. Ah, it feels so good when the stress is gone. E.

D 【解析】 【分析】试题分析：本文是一篇说明文。主要关注孩子健康：如何排解压力 【16题详解】 C根据下文的Some ways of…和But other ways…说明人们处理压力有多种方法，故C项符合上下文 【17题详解】 F本段讲述的是向别人寻求支持，除了你的父母和亲戚，也不要忘记你的朋友。故F项符合上下文。 【18题详解】 A根据前一句Don't take it out on yourself不要总是独自承担一切，要寻求别人的帮助，故A项符合上下文串联。 【19题详解】 E根据上一句it's time to get down to business.说明是时候解决问题了，首先你要知道你要解决的问题是什么。故E项符合上下文。 【20题详解】 D根据上一句And if you can stay positive as you make your way through a tough time, you'll help yourself feel better even faster.说明如果我们能够保持积极向上的态度，就会感觉很好。故D项符合上下文的含义。 考点：考查教育类短文阅读 第三部分 第一节 完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分） In 1971 a young man who grew up very poor was travelling across the country, trying to make a new start for himself.

Some people want to lose weight when others run to keep up fit. Unfortunately, running is not always popularly among young people at school. In some school when it rains and it’s too wet to play football or basketball, children have no choice but do cross-country running instead. However, some students dislike do it. Running is beneficial to us physically and mentally, so we call it the healthy activity. You will find that even short runs can increase you energy and make you more likely to enjoy that life has to offer. So let’s do running every day. 【答案】1. 第一句：went→go 2. 第二句：when→while 3. 第二句：删掉keep后的up 4. 第三句：popularly→popular 5. 第四句：school→schools 6. 第四句：but 后加上to 7. 第五句：do→doing 8. 第六句：the →a 9. 第七句：you→your 10. 第七句：that→what 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇应用文。文章就跑步这项运动对健康的好处展开说明，倡议大家每天跑步。 【详解】1.考查时态。句意：当今许多人空余时间跑步。讲的是现在人们跑步的现象，应该用一般现在时。故将went改为go。 2.考查连词。句意：有些人跑步是为了减肥，而另一些是为了保持身体健康。根据句意可知，本句中有“some…,while others …”（有些人……，而另一些……）这样的前后逻辑，故将when改为while。 3.考查固定短语。句意：有些人跑步是为了减肥，而另一些是为了保持身体健康。“保持身体健康”翻译为“keep fit”,故删掉keep后的up。 4.考查形容词。句意：不幸的是，在学校里跑步运动并不是总是受年轻人的欢迎。英语短语“be popular among sb”意为“受到某人的欢迎”，be 后面用形容词作表语。故将popularly 改为popular。 5.考查名词的数。句意：在一些学校里，下雨天时地面太湿不能打篮球或踢足球，孩子们别无选择只能去越野跑。School是可数名词，所以“一些学校”翻译为“some schools”, school用复数形式。故将school 改为schools。 6.考查固定搭配。句意：在一些学校里，下雨天时地面太湿不能打篮球或踢足球，孩子们别无选择只能去越野跑。“别无选择只能做……”英语翻译为“have no choice but to do sth” 。故在but 后加上to。 7.考查动名词。句意：然而，一些学生不喜欢越野跑。句中的动词dislike后面接动词时，动词要用动名词形式作dislike 的宾语。故将do改为doing。 8.考查冠词。句意：跑步对身心都有益，所以我们称之为一项健康的活动。文中第一交出现 “healthy activity”，所以根据冠词用法只能用 a。故将 the改为a。 9.考查人称代词。句意：你会发现即使是短跑也会增添你的精力，使你更有可能地享受生活所带来的快乐。句中的“增添你的精力”，在名词energy前用形容词性物主代词。故将you改为your。 10.考查宾语从句。句意：你会发现即使是短跑也会增添你的精力，使你更有可能地享受生活所带来的快乐。本句中的动词enjoy后接一个宾语从句，宾语从句中what作为动词offer的宾语，意为“享受生活所带来的快乐”，故将that改为what。 【点睛】做改错题时，先通读全文。认真阅读短文，在做题之前确保已经弄清原文大意。根据短文大意和上下文逻辑关系，对文章进行逐字逐句的分析，检查句子的结构是否完整，语气是否连贯等等。然后综合运用所学语言知识，根据各行不同的错误情况分别进行答题(即改词、加词或减词)。 第二节：书面表达（满分25分） 52. 假如你是育才中学的学生李华，你从网上看到John在某英语俱乐部发布了一个帖子，邀请各国爱好英语的学生参加该俱乐部，以加强交流，提高英语水平。请你根据以下提示，用英语写封电子邮件，希望能参加该俱乐部，并交更多的朋友。 要点：1. 简单介绍自己（如：哪国人、爱好等）； 2. 参加该俱乐部的原因（交朋友、提高英语水平）； 3. 希望成为其中一员。 注意：1. 词数100左右； 2. 可适当增加细节，以使行文连贯； 3. 开头已经给出，不计入总词数。 Dear John, I’m glad to read the post on the Internet that you welcome students who like English. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours, Li Hua 【答案】Dear John, I’m glad to read the post on the Internet that you welcome students who likes English.

Yours, Li Hua 【解析】 【分析】本篇书面表达属于应用文，要求写一封信。 【详解】第1步：根据提示可知，本篇为一封信件；假如你是育才中学的学生李华，你从网上看到John在某英语俱乐部发布了一个帖子，邀请各国爱好英语的学生参加该俱乐部，以加强交流，提高英语水平。请你根据以下提示，用英语写封电子邮件，希望能参加该俱乐部，并交更多的朋友。要点：1. 简单介绍自己（如：哪国人、爱好等）；2. 参加该俱乐部的原因（交朋友、提高英语水平）；3. 希望成为其中一员。人称使用第一人称。时态应为一般现在时。 第2步：根据写作要求，确定关键词（组），如：want to join the club (想要加入俱乐部)，practise English (练习英语)，make friends (交朋友)，improve English (提高英语水平)等。 第3步：根据提示及关键词（组）进行遣词造句，注意主谓一致和时态问题。 第4步：连句成文，注意使用恰当的连词进行句子之间的衔接与过渡，书写一定要规范清晰，保持整洁美观的卷面是非常重要的。 【点睛】范文内容完整，语言规范，语篇连贯，词数适当。作者在范文中使用了较多高级表达方式，如同位语My name is Li Hua, a student from Yu Cai Middle School.非谓语动词I think I’ll make full use of the chance to practise my English, such as communicating with others in English and helping organize activities for the members.宾语从句I hope I’ll be accepted as a member of the club.全文中没有中国式英语的句式，显示了很高的驾驭英语的能力。另外，文章思路清晰、层次分明，上下句转换自然，为文章增色添彩。 1-5 ACBCA 6-10 ABCAC 11-15 BCACA 16-20 BBABC 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 四川省广元中学高一下入学考试 英语试题 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 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。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.

But for the past two weeks, he hasn’t called for even once. “A few of my staff mentioned that we hadn’t seen his order in a while. Then I found that it had been 12 days since he last ordered, which is not like him,” Domino’s general manager Sarah Fuller said, feeling she could no longer ignore Kirk’s recent absence. Sarah has known Kirk since 2009, when she started working at the Domino’s Pizza as a deliver driver and often made the short trip to Kirk’s home about six minutes away. She knew Kirk worked from home, and neighbors said he seldom left. She also knew that he had some health problems in the past. Something, Sarah worried, was wrong. Around 1 a.m. on May 8, Sarah sent delivery driver Sean Hamblen to visit Kirk’s home. Sean arrived at Kirk’s home and knocked on the front door several times. There was no answer. He later noticed that the lights and the TV in the home were on. When he called Kirk’s phone, it went straight to voice mail. Sean drove back to the restaurant to tell Sarah and they decided to call 911. Soon, officers arrived at Kirk’s home. So did Sarah and Sean. They heard a man calling for help from inside. Officers broke down the door and found Kirk on the floor in need of medical attention at once after suffering from a heart attack. One day later, they might have been too late. So is keeping an eye on regular customers part of Domino’s business plan? Not really. “Kirk is part of our family here and we feel like we need to do something.” Sarah said. 4. Why did Sarah send a delivery driver to visit Kirk? A. Because her staff asked her to do so. B Because she was worried about Kirk. C. Because she wanted Kirk to order meals. D. Because she knew Kirk had a heart attack. 5. What happened to Sean when he first arrived at Kirk’s house? A. He called 911 at once. B. He heard Kirk calling for help. C. He didn’t get any reply from Kirk. D. He tried to break into Kirk’s house. 6. How can we best describe Sarah? A. Clever and polite. B. Brave and patient. C. Hard-working and careful. D. Warm-hearted and helpful. 7. What’s the best title for the text? A. A man who ordered pizza for years B. Domino’s Pizza served as a life savior C. Regular customers of Domino’s Pizza D. Helping others means helping ourselves C Thomas Cheatham had planned to study Latin during his time at Hebron High School in Texas. But when he learned that the school district was going to offer a Mandarin(普通话) class, he quickly changed his mind. “I thought Mandarin would be more beneficial than Latin,” said Cheatham, who is now in his second year of studying the language. He speaks Mandarin to order food at Chinese restaurants and can read social media posts from his Chinese-speaking friends. While it’s a difficult language to master, the high school junior, who plans to study computer engineering, thinks it will be important for his career. “Chinese is a good language to know, especially with China becoming a growing power,” he said. Many experts agree that proficiency(熟练) in a language spoken by a billion people worldwide will give American students an edge in the global economy. “People are looking at China as our next economic competitor, and interest in Mandarin is growing fast,” said Marty Abbott, director of the American Council(议会) on the Teaching of Foreign Languages. “We’re seeing it in all parts of the country.” Abbott predicts that as many as 100,000 students are now studying Mandarin in public and private schools throughout the US. She said the US government has designated (指定) Mandarin as an “important needs” language and provides professional development programs for teachers. “Our government wants to increase our language ability for national security and economic competitiveness,” Abbott added. At the same time, the Chinese government is spreading knowledge of the Chinese language and culture through Confucius Institutes set up in many US states. For example, the Confucius Institute at the University of Texas in Dallas has been the home of a Confucius Institute for 10 years. It sponsors Confucius Classrooms at 21 local public and private schools, where tens of thousands of students are learning Mandarin. 8.

A. a slight advantage B. the outside limit C. a sharp tone of voice D. an exciting quality 10. Which of the following statements might Marty Abbott agree with? A.

Are richer people happier? And if so, how do people get much richer? A recent study could tell you the answer. The study looked into thousands of teenagers and found that those who felt better about life as young adults tended to have higher incomes by the time they turned 29. Those who were happiest earned an average of $8, 000 more than those who were the most depressed. The researchers, from University College London and the University of Warwick, say that very gloomy teens, no matter how tall or smart they were, earned 10% less than their peers, while the happier ones earned up to 30% more. Happier teenagers have an easier time getting through school, college and a job interview, chiefly because they always feel better about life. It may also be true that happier people find it easier to make friends, who are often the key to homework help or networking. A report in June suggested that professional respect was more important than dollars in terms of workplace happiness. In August scientists announced that they had found the gene for happiness in women, Alas (the same gene doesn't appear to have the same effect on men). And in October researchers in the UK and in the US announced that people who eat seven portions of fruit and vegetables a day report being the happiest. The big question is: if it really is true that happier kids end up being wealthier kids, is it necessary for parents to get their kids to do the homework? The fact is that no homework will make kids happy but surely hurt their grades. Studies do show, after all, that more education leads to better-paid jobs, which may give us a deep thought. "These findings show that the teenagers’ happiness is important to their future success," one of the report's authors writes. "But what is the most important is that we should find a way to help children gain more satisfaction from doing schoolwork." 12. What conclusion can the researchers draw from the recent study? A. Happy teenagers grow up to be wealthier. B. Money can make people become happier. C. Wealth has nothing to do with happiness at all. D. Schoolwork can help teens achieve success. 13. The main reason why happier people have more chances to succeed is that_____. A. they are easy to communicate with others B. they are good at doing their schoolwork C. they are hopeful and optimistic about their life D. they eat much more fruit and vegetables a day 14. The underlined word “gloomy” in Paragraph 3 probably means “______”. A. upset B. glorious C. happy D. wealthy 15. What can be the best title for the text? A. The way to educate kids B. The source of happiness C. How to achieve your goal D. The secret of being wealthier 第二节：（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Kids' health：Four steps for fighting stress Everybody gets stressed from time to time. ___16___ Some ways of dealing with stress — like screaming or hitting someone — don't solve (解决) much.
