That doesn’t mean expensive, and in fact it ___13___ to being “thoughtful”. In America, for example, it wouldn’t be uncommon for a friend to come to a dinner at your home and bring a candle. But in China, if you received a candle, it would have to be very, very special ---such as a candle made only in the southern provinces of China from tallow tree (乌桕树) berries, using techniques that have been in place for more than 1,500 years.

(B) One survey of 485 adults in the U.S. linked travel to enhanced attention, energy, and focus. Other research suggests that the act of adapting to foreign cultures may also facilitate (促进) creativity. But what about the act of planning a trip? Planning a trip can be almost as enjoyable as going on the trip itself. A Cornell University study looked into how looking forward to an experience (like a trip) can increase a person’s happiness considerably — much more so than the anticipation of buying material goods. An earlier study, published by the University of Surrey, found that people are at their happiest when they have a vacation planned. Amit Kumar, one of the co-authors of the Cornell study, explains that the benefits are less about obsessing (使迷恋) over the finer points of a journey than they are about connecting with other people. “Travelers end up talking to people more about their experiences than they talk about material purchases,” he says. “Compared to possessions, experiences make for better story material.” Kumar’s co-author Matthew Killingsworth, now a senior fellow at the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania, says trip-planning encourages an optimistic outlook. “As humans, we spend a lot of our mental lives living in the future,” says Killingsworth, whose work centers on understanding the nature and causes of human happiness. “Our future-mindedness can be a source of joy if we know good things are coming, and travel is an especially good thing to look forward to.” One reason Killingsworth thinks that planning travel can be such a positive experience is the fact that trips are temporary. “Since we know a trip has a defined start and end, our minds are likely to enjoy it, even before it’s started,” he says. “Sometimes people even prefer to delay good experiences like a trip so they can extend the period of excitement.” There’s another reason why travel planning can produce happiness: We often know enough about a trip to imagine it and look forward to it — but there’s also enough novelty and uncertainty to keep our minds interested. “In a sense, we start to ‘consume’ a trip as soon as we start thinking about it,” Killingsworth says. “When we imagine eating gelato, the famous ice cream in Rome or going water skiing with friends we don’t see as much as we’d like, we get to experience a version of those events in our mind.” Planning for travel — thinking about it, talking about it, imagining it — may in fact be one of the best things you can do to stay optimistic. 39. What does the word “anticipation” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Worry. B. Experience. C. Benefit. D. Expectation. 40. According to Amit Kumar, the more important reason why trip is beneficial is that ______. A. the finer points of a journey become a good memory B. travelers can make up better stories based on their trips C. more chances are given to make contact with local people D. travel experiences provide more topics for communication 41. According to Matthew Killingsworth, planning a trip can make people happy because ______. A. they are able to have their exciting trip extended B. something good is believed to happen in the future C. the enough knowledge of a trip arouses their interests D. humans’ happiness comes from their future experience 42. What is the best title for the passage? A. Why planning trips helps mental health? B. Why a trip needs to be planned ahead? C. Why travelers should be optimistic? D. Why people are keen on traveling? (C) Post-00s is a documentary about growing up. It covers almost every aspect of millennials’ experiences on their path toward adolescence — their struggles with schoolwork, their relationship with peers, their confusion if a younger brother or sister is born into the family, and their growing desire to keep a distance from their parents. But this five-episode series was different from any other TV program with a similar theme. Post-00s was filmed over a period of 10 years, during which the show’s makers followed a group of kids in Beijing from when they were infants through to when they became teenagers. In other words, the show’s “characters” grow older for real, and their stories are all real. “Coming-of-age” stories, as they’re known, have a special appeal. They satisfy our curiosity of peeking (窥视) at someone else’s life, and we become more and more attached to the characters as if we truly know them. And while we enjoy the truthfulness of the stories because nothing is set in advance, we also can’t help but feel the cruelty of reality. After all, there’s no re-writing of the script (剧本) and there’s no turning back — this is real life. This realness can also be seen in Boyhood, a 2014 film that won the Silver Bear award for best director at the 64th Berlin International Film Festival. During a period of 12 years, the film follows the life of Mason Jr-played by US actor EHar Coltrane — from when he was 6 to when he finished high school. One of Boyhood’s appeals comes from its “ordinariness”, according to Independent editor Geoffrey Macnab. “Mason Jr isn’t some child genius… He is a quietly spoken, fairly typical American boy, growing up in the Texas suburbs. He likes riding his bike and playing video games. While coming-of-age stories may look ordinary on the outside, they often allow us to look underneath the surface and see something extraordinary — the power of life itself. 43. In the documentary, we see post-00’s growing experience EXCEPT______. A. how they deal with their studies B. how they help look after brothers or sisters C. how they get along with people of their age D. how much they long to be completely independent of parents 44. What do Post-00 and Boyhood have in common? A. They’re intended to win an award for best director. B. The heroes and heroines are characters themselves. C. They’re a kind of reality show of ordinary kids’ growth. D. The stories are based on true life but polished by writers. 45. Audience are interested in “coming-of-age” stories because ______. A. they can see the truth of life B. they know the characters well C. they are much fond of gossip D. they appreciate stories of daily life 46. Which of the following might be the best title for the passage? A. Post-00s are different geniuses. B. Actors are ordinary characters. C. Documentary is real life. D. Life is one big story. (D) Britain has a population of over 66 million ___47___ About 80% of the population live in England, with over 8 million in the capital. The rest are distributed in Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland. ___48___ These people settled in England and drove the native Celtic people (凯尔特人) to the mountainous areas of Wales and Scotland. Their language became the official language of the country. Most people in Wales and Scotland are descendants (后代) of the Celtic people who were the earliest known inhabitants of Britain. ___49___ Besides the early groups from Europe, Britain has many Italians, Greeks, Australians and New Zealanders who have settled in the country as permanent residents. In addition, there is a large number of immigrants from Africa and Asia. Most of them come from the former colonies of the British Empire, such as India, Pakistan, Bangladesh (孟加拉国), the Caribbean Islands and some African countries. All these immigrants have made Britain one of the most culturally diverse countries in Europe. In London, for instance it is estimated that more than 300 languages and dialects are spoken. English is a member of the Indo-European family of language (印欧语系). This broad family includes most of European languages spoken today. ___50___ This group began as a common language about 3000 years ago and was later split into three subgroups: East Germanic North Germanic and West Germanic. English evolved from the West Germanic group. The development of the English language can be divided into three periods: Old English, Middle English and Modern English. A.

Guided Writing 【65题答案】 【答案】Good morning, everyone! As we stand here today celebrating our coming-of-age ceremony, I am reminded of the dreams I had about adulthood. In the past, I often imagined being an adult as a time of freedom and independence, where I could make my own decisions without restrictions. The idea of adulthood was filled with endless possibilities and opportunities. Now, as I step into this new phase of life, I realize that adulthood also comes with responsibilities. It is not just about freedom, but about being accountable for my choices and actions. This deeper understanding has made me appreciate the value of maturity and responsibility. Looking forward, I have set clear goals for my future. I aspire to pursue a fulfilling career and continue my education. To achieve these goals, I plan to work hard, stay focused, and seek guidance from those who inspire me. Additionally, I am committed to contributing to my community and making a positive impact.
