A sad movie may be more suitable for you. Some scientists at Ohio State University, the US, have found that sad movies can make people happier. They published (出版) their study in a magazine called Communication Research. Scientists asked 361 college students to watch a sad movie, Titanic. The movie tells a story of two lovers, Jack and Rose. Because of an accident, their ship sank. To save Rose, Jack lost his life. The 361 college students answered questions from the scientists before, after and three times during the movie to find out their different feelings, including sadness. According to the result of the survey, scientists found out that people felt better after watching the sad movie. Scientists believed this was because the movie made them think about their own lives and relationships. Compared to those of the unlucky lovers in the movie, their lives were full of hope. “I want to live my life to the fullest, and this movie has made me think a lot.” one student wrote. Therefore, if you feel sad, go to see a sad movie. That will cause you to think more about your own close relationships and value them more. 37.

It is said that driving an electric car is good for the environment. But is that true? The University of Minnesota recently studied emissions (排放物) from different cars. The scientists found that sometimes, electric cars are more harmful than petrol (汽油) cars. Surprising? Well, please pay attention to the word “sometimes”. Electric cars are supposed to be clean. The problem lies in the power that is used to charge (充电) them. If the power comes from wind or solar energy, electric cars will cause little pollution. However, if the power is produced from coal, they will be very harmful. According to the study, emissions from these cars kill about 3,000 people a year. However, pollution caused by petrol cars only leads to 880 deaths a year. In fact, sales people are not lying when they say electric cars are clean. However, they are right only when the power used to charge their cars is also clean. So how clean electric cars are depends on what their electricity comes from. In France, more than half of the power comes from nuclear (核) stations. Electric cars there should be as clean as they are marketed to be. In many developing countries, however, electricity mainly comes from coal. India, for example, depends on coal for 61 percent of its power. Only two percent of electricity comes from nuclear energy. In countries like India, electric cars are not clean at all. 62. People in many countries are encouraged to buy electric cars because electric cars ____________________________________.（10个词以内） 63. Whether electric cars are clean or not depends on ____________________________________.（10个词以内） 64. In Paragraph 4, in which country the electric cars are cleaner than those in many developing countries?（5个词以内） ____________________________________ 65. The power of electric cars may come from ____________________________________.（写出文中提到的任意两种能源，5个词以内） 66. What do you think of the electric cars? Why? ____________________________________（20个词以内） 【答案】62. are good for the environment 63. what their electricity comes from 64. In France. 65. wind energy or solar energy 66. I think they are popular. Because a lot of people around us have chosen electric cars. 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍了电动汽车的能量来源以及它们所对应的清洁度，并且解释了不同因素影响下对环境的影响。 【62题详解】 根据“In many countries, people are encouraged to buy electric cars. It is said that driving an electric car is good for the environment.”可知许多国家鼓励人们购买电动车，因为据说开电动车对环境有益，be good for“对……有好处”，主语是复数，be动词用are。故填are good for the environment。 【63题详解】 根据“So how clean electric cars are depends on what their electricity comes from.”可知电动车的清洁程度取决于其电力来源。故填what their electricity comes from。 【64题详解】 根据“In France, more than half of the power comes from nuclear (核) stations. Electric cars there should be as clean as they are marketed to be. In many developing countries, however, electricity mainly comes from coal.”可知在法国，超过一半的电力来自核电站，那里的电动汽车应该像市场上销售的那样清洁，然而，在许多发展中国家，电力主要来自煤炭，所以来自法国的电动汽车更清洁。故填In France. 【65题详解】 根据“If the power comes from wind or solar energy, electric cars will cause little pollution. However, if the power is produced from coal”以及“more than half of the power comes from nuclear (核) stations.”可知电动汽车的动力来自风、太阳能、煤以及核能，任意写两种即可。故填wind energy or solar energy。 【66题详解】 开放性题目，言之有理即可。参考答案为I think they are popular. Because a lot of people around us have chosen electric cars. 第二节 书面表达（共1题，满分15分） 67. 你校将举办一次户外活动，为了更好地开展这次活动，校英语社团正在向学生征集意见。假设你是李华，请根据表格内容写一篇短文（先介绍你喜欢的户外活动，再说明理由，最后就活动安排提出合理的建议），向社团投稿。 写作要点 参考句型 1.

Some scientists at Ohio State University, the US, have found that sad movies can make people happier. They published (出版) their study in a magazine called Communication Research. Scientists asked 361 college students to watch a sad movie, Titanic. The movie tells a story of two lovers, Jack and Rose. Because of an accident, their ship sank. To save Rose, Jack lost his life. The 361 college students answered questions from the scientists before, after and three times during the movie to find out their different feelings, including sadness. According to the result of the survey, scientists found out that people felt better after watching the sad movie. Scientists believed this was because the movie made them think about their own lives and relationships. Compared to those of the unlucky lovers in the movie, their lives were full of hope. “I want to live my life to the fullest, and this movie has made me think a lot.” one student wrote. Therefore, if you feel sad, go to see a sad movie. That will cause you to think more about your own close relationships and value them more. 37.

It is said that driving an electric car is good for the environment. But is that true? The University of Minnesota recently studied emissions (排放物) from different cars. The scientists found that sometimes, electric cars are more harmful than petrol (汽油) cars. Surprising? Well, please pay attention to the word “sometimes”. Electric cars are supposed to be clean. The problem lies in the power that is used to charge (充电) them. If the power comes from wind or solar energy, electric cars will cause little pollution. However, if the power is produced from coal, they will be very harmful. According to the study, emissions from these cars kill about 3,000 people a year. However, pollution caused by petrol cars only leads to 880 deaths a year. In fact, sales people are not lying when they say electric cars are clean. However, they are right only when the power used to charge their cars is also clean. So how clean electric cars are depends on what their electricity comes from. In France, more than half of the power comes from nuclear (核) stations. Electric cars there should be as clean as they are marketed to be. In many developing countries, however, electricity mainly comes from coal. India, for example, depends on coal for 61 percent of its power. Only two percent of electricity comes from nuclear energy. In countries like India, electric cars are not clean at all. 62. People in many countries are encouraged to buy electric cars because electric cars ____________________________________.（10个词以内） 63.
