We also know that we don't always have control over our happiness.Research suggests that genetics may play a big role in our level of happiness，so some of us may start out at a disadvantage.On top of that，environmental factors can bring down mood and dry up our thirst for living. 2 ．Many studies have found a connection between psychological and physical well­being. A 2022 review of more than 200 studies found a connection between positive psychological features，such as happiness，optimism and life satisfaction，and a lowered risk of heart disease. 3 ．If you have a good sense of well­being，it's easier to maintain good habits: exercising，eating a balanced diet and getting enough sleep. 4 ，and they do not provide hard evidence of cause and effect.But some researchers believe that positive mental states do have a direct effect on the body，perhaps by reducing damaging physical processes.For instance，they found that optimism is associated with lower levels of inflammation(炎症). If what you mean by happiness is specifically “enjoyment of life”，there's newer evidence to support that，too.A study in the Canadian Medical Association Journal found that people aged 60 and over who said they enjoyed life less were more likely to develop disability over an 8­year period. 5 ．This study does not prove that physical problems are caused by less enjoyment of life，but suggests a relationship. A．But whatever happiness really is B．It might take more work if your mood is low C．For now these studies can only show associations D．That refers to the person，and the situation he or she is in E．Being able to travel around was also related to enjoyment of life F．To manage our emotions is important for both our body and mind G．It's not as simple as “you must be happy to prevent heart attacks”，though [语篇解读]　本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了对如何追求幸福、保持幸福的研究。 1．解析　A　空前讲你可以把它称为幸福感，乐观(主义)或生活的的充实感，尽管这些也可以被区别对待；空后讲我们知道我们想要它，这在某种程度上是好的。故A项“但不管幸福到底是什么”承上启下，符合语境。故选A。 2．解析　F　空前讲基因和环境因素都可能会影响我们的幸福指数，空后讲许多研究已经发现了心理健康和身体健康之间的联系，F项“管理我们的情绪对我们的身心都很重要”承上启下，符合语境。故选F。 3．解析　G　上一段讲“积极的心理特征和较低的心脏病得病率之间有联系”，G项“不过，这并不像‘你必须保持快乐来预防心脏病发作’那么简单”与上文形成转折关系，且能引出下文的“如果你有良好的幸福感，你就更容易保持好的习惯”。故选G。 4．解析　C　根据下文中的“they do not provide hard evidence...But some researchers believe”可知，空处讲的应该也是研究，C项中的“these studies”话题匹配，指代上文中的“200 studies”。结合空后的“they do not provide hard evidence of cause and effect(它们没有提供因果关系的确凿证据)”可知，这些研究只能够证明心理健康和身体健康之间的联系。故选C。 5．解析　E　结合本段首句中的“happiness is specifically ‘enjoyment of life’”可知，本段主要讲对幸福的狭义理解，即幸福就是享受生活。空前后讲的都与享受生活有关，E项“能够四处旅行也与享受生活有关”承接上文的“enjoyed life”，引出下文的“enjoyment of life”。故选E。 Ⅲ.语法填空 (2025·太原一模) Every Lunar New Year，China introduces a zodiac(生肖) sign from a cycle of 12 lucky animals.This year，it's the Year of the Dragon，or more 1. (accurate)，“the Year of the Loong”．Then what's the difference? The Western 2.

(tell) the Chinese dragon from the frightening monsters of Western tales.The call is also in line with the push for cultural confidence to choose the preferred translation of the Mandarin word for a creature long respected in Chinese culture. [语篇解读]　本文是一篇说明文。中国“龙年”的英文翻译引起热议。中国的龙和西方的龙在起源、象征等方面存在很大的不同。西方故事中的龙是可怕的怪物；中国龙代表力量和财富，是吉利的象征。文化专家呼吁使用“Loong”这个词来区分中国龙与西方龙，有助于推动文化自信。 1．解析　accurately　考查副词。此处应用副词修饰整个句子，故填副词accurately。 2．解析　description　考查名词。句意：关于龙的西方描述，如“喷火的有翼生物”，是受到《贝奥武夫》等文学作品的启发，该作品是一部关于斯堪的纳维亚英雄的古英语史诗，他作出的贡献是消灭怪物，包括一条龙。分析句子结构可知，这个句子由主句和一个描述性介绍短语组成。空处所在的词组在整个句子中是主语，因此动词需变成名词形式，故填description。 3．解析　whose　考查定语从句。分析句子结构可知，空处引导定语从句，先行词是a Scandinavian hero，空处作定语修饰名词contribution表示所属关系，故用关系代词whose。 4．解析　as　考查介词。此处指希腊神话也将龙描绘成凶猛的海怪。present有“呈现，展现”的意思，present...as ...意为“以某种方式/样子展现”。故填as。 5．解析　possessions　考查名词复数。句意：希腊神话也将龙描绘成凶猛的海怪或守护贵重财物的卫士。possession意为“个人财产”时，是可数名词，经常以复数形式出现，空前无限定词，故填possessions。 6．解析　created　考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知，空处构成非谓语动词短语作后置定语，a word与create之间是逻辑上的动宾关系，用过去分词表示被动。故填created。 7．解析　be distinguished　考查动词的语态。句意：相比之下，“loong”，一个19世纪创造出来的词，让人们想起力量和财富，并且应该将它与其西方的“表亲”区分开来。分析句子结构可知，情态动词should加空处动词构成谓语动词。主语是loong，与谓语动词distinguish之间是被动关系，所以应用被动形式，又因为情态动词should后动词用原形，故填be distinguished。 8．解析　a　考查冠词。此处意为“一本已有两千年之久的中国史书”，表示泛指，且2，000­year­old的发音以辅音音素开头，故填不定冠词a。 9．解析　predicting　考查非谓语动词。句意：皇帝的母亲梦见一条躺在她身上的龙，这预示着未来皇帝的诞生。分析句子结构可知，空处构成非谓语动词短语作后置定语，修饰这个梦境，故用现在分词形式predicting。 10．解析　to tell　考查非谓语动词。句意：一些文化专家一直呼吁将“loong”作为一个词来区分中国龙和西方故事中的可怕怪物。分析句子结构可知，空处构成非谓语动词短语作目的状语，应用动词不定式，故填to tell。此处tell意为“区分，辨别”，属于熟词生义的用法。 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
