Arithmetic is an elementary part of number theory, and number theory is considered to be one of the top-level divisions of modern mathematics, along with algebra, geometry, and analysis. The terms arithmetic and higher arithmetic were used until the beginning of the 20th century as synonyms for number theory and are sometimes still used to refer to a wider part of number theory. RULES of Operations Based on arithmetic, usually, if α adds β, we' ll get γ as the sum. In other words, α is the difference between γ and β. So, this should be the first way of working numbers when people wanted to record something important. However, it was not enough when things became more complicated. As a result, we can do a more difficult counting of multiplication and division. In this way, if we get the product γ of α multiplied by β, we will get the quotient β of γ divided by α. This rules become the basis of arithmetic, and it is designed that the rule of multiplication or division has priority over the one of addition or subtraction, and brackets over any rules. APPLICATIONS of Analysis The diagram shows information about the speeds of 100 cars. The fastest car had a speed of 70 mph. Now, it is your turn to do a simple analysis based on the diagram on the right hand side. 1. From the diagram, how many cars were travelling above 40 mph? A. 20. B. 33. C. 37. D. 80. 2. Which of the followings is the correct arithmetic description of the equation“(α－β)÷γ=δ”? A. The difference between α and the quotient of β divided by γ makes δ. B. α subtracted from the quotient of β divided by γ makes δ. C. The quotient of β divided by γ subtracted from α makes δ. D. The difference between α and β divided by γ makes δ. 3. What can be probably learnt according to the text? A. Number theory consists of algebra, geometry and analysis. B. The term of arithmetic was accepted in 2000. C. Number theory is based on arithmetic. D. Arithmetic is made up of mathematics. 【答案】1. A 2. D 3. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了数学的几个分支，包括算术、代数、几何和分析，并详细讨论了算术的基本规则和应用。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据APPLICATIONS of Analysis部分的句子“The diagram shows information about the speeds of 100 cars. The fastest car had a speed of 70 mph.(该图显示了100辆汽车的速度信息。最快的汽车时速为每小时70英里。)”可知，图表显示的是100辆汽车的信息，而最快的汽车时速为每小时70英里，时速超过了40英里的汽车也就是时速40至70的汽车，表中显示为20辆。故选A项。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据RULES of Operations部分的句子“This rules become the basis of arithmetic, and it is designed that the rule of multiplication or division has priority over the one of addition or subtraction, and brackets over any rules.(这些规则成为算术的基础，乘法或除法的规则优先于加法或减法的规则，括号优先于任何规则。)”可知，乘法或除法的规则优先于加法或减法的规则，括号优先于任何规则，再结合题干中的算式“(α－β)÷γ=δ”，应该先计算括号内α减β的差，再用得到的差除以γ的到商数为δ。故选D项。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据INTRODUCTION部分的句子“Arithmetic is an elementary part of number theory, and number theory is considered to be one of the top-level divisions of modern mathematics, along with algebra, geometry, and analysis.(算术是数论的基本部分，数论与代数、几何和分析一起被认为是现代数学的顶级分支之一。)”可知，数论以算术为基础。故选C项。 B 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项中，选出最佳选项。 Everyone gathered around and Paddy read out loud, slowly, his tone growing sadder and sadder. The little headline said: BOXER RECEIVES LIFE SENTENCE. Frank Cleary, aged 26, professional boxer, was today found guilty of the murder of Albert Cumming, aged 32, laborer, last July. The jury (陪审团) reached its decision after only ten minutes, recommending the most severe punishment the court could give out. It was, said the judge, a simple case. Cumming and Cleary had quarreled violently at the Harbour Hotel on July 23rd and the police saw Cleary kicking at the head of the unconscious Cumming. When arrested Cleary was drunk but clear-thinking… Cleary was sentenced to life imprisonment with hard labour. Asked if he had anything to say, Cleary answered, “Just don’t tell my mother.” “It happened over three years ago,” Paddy said helplessly. No one answered him or moved, for no one knew what to do. “Just don’t tell my mother,” said Fee numbly. “And no one did! Oh, God! My poor, poor Frank!” Paddy wiped the tears from his face and said. “Fee dear, pack your things. We’ll go to see him.” She half-rose before sinking back, her eyes in her small white face stared as if dead. “I can’t go,” she said without a hint of pain, yet making everyone feel that the pain was there. “It would kill him to see me. I know him so well— his pride, his ambition. Let him bear the shame alone, it’s what he wants. We’ve got to help him keep his secret. What good will it do him to see us? ” Paddy was still weeping, but not for Frank, for the life which had gone from Fee’s face, for the dying in her eyes. Frank had always brought bitterness and misfortune, always stood between Fee and himself. He was the cause of her withdrawal from his heart and the hearts of his children. Every time it looked as if there might be happiness for Fee, Frank took it away. But Paddy’s love for her was as deep and impossible to wipe out as hers was for Frank. So he said, “Well, Fee, we won’t go. But we must make sure he is taken care of. How about if I write to Father Jones and ask him to look out for Frank?” The eyes didn’t liven, but a faint pink stole into her cheeks. “Yes, Paddy, do that. Only make sure he knows not to tell Frank we found out. Perhaps it would ease Frank to think for certain that we don’t know.” 4. Which of the following is true according to the passage? A. Frank was found guilty of murder because he was a professional boxer. B. The family didn’t find out what happened to Frank until three years later. C. The jury and the judge disagreed on whether Frank had committed murder. D. Frank didn’t want his family to find out what happened because Paddy disliked him. 5. Paddy didn’t cry for Frank because he thought ________. A. Frank did kill someone and deserved the punishment B. Frank should have told Fee what had happened C. what had happened to Frank was killing Fee D. Frank had always been a man of bad moral character 6. Which of the following suggests that Fee was deeply shocked by what happened to Frank? A. “Her eyes in her small white face stared as if dead.” B. “Let him bear the shame alone, it’s what he wants.” C. “Every time it looked as if there might be happiness for Fee, Frank took it away.” D. “The eyes didn’t liven, but a faint pink stole into her cheeks.” 7. “She half-rose before sinking back …” (in Paragraph 6) shows that ________. A. Fee was so heart-broken that she could hardly stand up B. Fee didn’t want to upset Paddy by visiting Frank C. Fee couldn’t leave her family to go to see Frank D. Fee struggled between wanting to see Frank and respecting his wish 【答案】4. B 5. C 6. A 7. D 【解析】 【分析】试题分析：本文属于记叙文，拳手Frank被判刑三年以后，他的家人才知道他的情况。文章叙述了家人在讨论是否要去看望他的场景。 【4题详解】 B 细节理解题。根据第五段“It happened over three years ago,” Paddy said helplessly. No one answered him or moved, for no one knew what to do. “Just don’t tell my mother,” said Fee numbly. “And no one did! Oh, God! My poor, poor Frank!”可知直到三年以后家人才知道Frank 的事情。故B正确。 【5题详解】 C 推理判断题。根据第七段第一句Paddy was still weeping, but not for Frank, for the life which had gone from Fee’s face, for the dying in her eyes.父亲在担心Fee因为Frank的事情对Fee有很大的影响。故C正确。 【6题详解】 A 推理判断题。根据第六段第一句She half-rose before sinking back, her eyes in her small white face stared as if dead.可知当Fee听到Frank的事情的时候，面如死灰。说明这件事情对她打击非常大。故A正确。 【7题详解】 D 句意猜测题。根据前一句Paddy wiped the tears from his face and said. “Fee dear, pack your things. We’ll go to see him.”父亲提出要去 看Frank，但是Fee很想去看他，但是又有点犹豫。故D正确。 考点：考查记叙文阅读 C The elusive profound mystery of happiness could be as simple as remembering the good times and forgetting the regrets a new university study reported yesterday. For people who look at the past through rose-tinted glasses are happier than those who focus on negative past experience and regrets, according to a new study published in the journal Personality and Individual Differences. The study is conducive to the explanation of why personality has such a strong influence on a person’s happiness. The findings suggest that people with certain personality traits are happier than others because of the way they think about their past, present and future. The study examined how people’s ratings on the “Big Five” personality traits relate to their approach to time and life satisfaction. The “Big Five” model assesses how extroverted, open, responsible, agreeable, and neurotic a person is, and rates individuals as high or low on each personality trait rather than assigning them a personality type. “We found that the first four kind of people are happier with their lives because they tend to hold a bright view of the past and are less likely to have negative thoughts and regrets. People high on the neurotic scale essentially have the exact opposite view of the past and are less happier as a result,” said Ryan Howell, assistant professor of psychology at San Francisco State University, who authored the study with SF State College senior Jiawei Zhang. “This is good news because though it may be difficult to change your personality, you may be able to change your view of time and boost your happiness,” Howell said. The authors suggest that enjoying happy memories or reframing painful past experience in a positive light could be effective ways for individuals to increase their life satisfaction. “Personality traits influence how people look at the past, present and future and it is these different perspectives on time that drive a person’s happiness,” Howell added. 8. The underlined phrase “through rose-tinted glasses” in Para. 1 probably means “______”. A. in a neurotic way B. in a pessimistic way C. in an optimistic way D. in a disappointing way 9. According to the passage, ______ may well improve your happiness. A. forgetting memories B. changing your personality C. remembering painful past experience D. viewing painful past memories positively 10. What kind of people are likely to be unhappier? A. Highly extraverted. B. Very agreeable. C Rather neurotic. D. Quite open. 11. What is the best title for the passage? A. Personality Traits B. Secret of Happiness C. Past Experience Leads to Unhappiness D. Never Let Regrets Affect Your Happiness 【答案】8. C 9. D 10. C 11. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了幸福的奥秘，研究说明了人的性格特质影响着人们看待过去、现在和未来的方式，消极和积极的态度推动着一个人的幸福。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段第二句“For people who look at the past through rose-tinted glasses are happier than those who focus on negative past experience and regrets, according to a new study published in the journal Personality and Individual Differences.（根据发表在《个性与个体差异》杂志上的一项新研究，那些带着玫瑰色眼镜看待过去的人比那些关注过去负面经历和遗憾的人更快乐。）”和第四段“The authors suggest that enjoying happy memories or reframing painful past experience in a positive light could be effective ways for individuals to increase their life satisfaction.（作者认为，享受快乐的回忆或用积极的眼光重新审视过去的痛苦经历可能是提高个人生活满意度的有效途径。）”可知，杂志中“带着玫瑰色眼镜”的人不是关注负面经历和遗憾的人，作者通过研究指出，用积极的眼光看待过去会跟幸福，因此“带着玫瑰色眼镜”可能意味着“用积极的方式”，故选C项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段第二句“We found that the first four kind of people are happier with their lives because they tend to hold a bright view of the past and are less likely to have negative thoughts and regrets. （我们发现前四种人对他们的生活更快乐，因为他们倾向于用光明的眼光看待过去，不太可能有消极的想法和遗憾。）”和第四段“The authors suggest that enjoying happy memories or reframing painful past experience in a positive light could be effective ways for individuals to increase their life satisfaction.（作者认为，享受快乐的回忆或用积极的眼光重新审视过去的痛苦经历可能是提高个人生活满意度的有效途径。）”可知，积极的态度看待过去的痛苦经历会过的更快乐，因此用正向的态度面对过去的痛苦会提升幸福感，故选D项。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段第二、三句“We found that the first four kind of people are happier with their lives because they tend to hold a bright view of the past and are less likely to have negative thoughts and regrets. People high on the neurotic scale essentially have the exact opposite view of the past and are less happier as a result.（我们发现前四种人对他们的生活更快乐，因为他们倾向于用光明的眼光看待过去，不太可能有消极的想法和遗憾。神经质程度高的人对过去有完全相反的看法，因此不那么快乐。）”可知，更容易快乐的人拥有的特质是：高度外向的、和蔼可亲的、很开放的；不容易快乐的性格特质是高神经质的，故选C项。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文中第一段第一句“The elusive profound mystery of happiness could be as simple as remembering the good times and forgetting the regrets, a new university study reported yesterday. （快乐的奥秘也可以很简单，那就是记住美好的时光，忘记遗憾的事情。）”可知，开篇点题，本文核心是在讲快乐的奥秘。下文通过实验研究发现人的性格特质会影响快乐程度。第五段“Personality traits influence how people look at the past, present and future and it is these different perspectives on time that drive a person’s happiness（性格特征影响着人们看待过去、现在和未来的方式，正是这些对时间的不同看法推动着一个人的幸福。）”可知，文中最后有点题，说明幸福的奥秘，故选B项。 D Once upon a time, a library was just about the only place that someone could go to get a book or go to read for free. Then came the arrival of the Internet, and that changed everything. Before long, books were available on different sites on the web. It was only a matter of time until Kindle, Nook, and other e-readers swept the scene. Along with them came the e-book. Many believed that this would be the end of libraries. But libraries still exist today, and many of them even thrive(繁荣). So, how is it possible that they survived against the onslaught of e-books? For one thing, the truth is that libraries were never just about borrowing books for free. Librarians provide many services other than those of a desk clerk or customer service agent. They often hold seminars, presentations, contests, and other events to promote free education. These events are considered necessary by parents and kids alike. For others, the library is a place where they can go to get away from the rush of the world and from social obligations or family troubles. Many go to the library to study for projects, papers and exams. Others simply see it as a recreational hobby. For another thing, most libraries and librarians do not reject the changing tides of technology. And neither does the world, for that matter. In the US, the graduate degree program to become a librarian is often called a Library Science program. It reflects the fact that the country believes its librarians should keep up with the latest in information technology. Many librarians agree, and therefore have become experts in the field. Librarians have by now and large willingly educated themselves in the technology needed to keep up with the fast-paced digital world of technology today. So consider a visit to your local library to see all the recent changes. If you haven’t been to one in a while you might not recognize the place. But don’t worry. Your librarian will be happy to bring you up to speed. 12 The underlined word “onslaught” in Paragraph 1 can best be replaced by “_____”. A. price B. attack C. future D. quality 13. According to Paragraph 4, many librarians ______. A. prefer traditional books to e-books B. don’t need to have a graduate degree C. can’t keep up with the world of technology D. have made good use of new technology in their work 14. What’s the author’s attitude towards the future of librarians? A. Hopeful. B. Careless. C. Doubtful. D. Disapproving. 15. Which of the following shows the structure of the text? CP: Central Point P: Point Sp: Sub-point(次要点) C: Conclusion A. B. C. D. 【答案】12. B 13. D 14. A 15. B 【解析】 【分析】试题分析： 【12题详解】 B词义猜测题。根据这一句话how is it possible that they survived against the onslaught of e-books?并结合前后文可知，图书馆要和现代电子阅读器相竞争，所以句子中的against抵抗，指的是图书馆抵抗新兴科技的竞争，进攻。故选B。 【13题详解】 D细节理解题。根据第四段的librarians do not reject the changing tides of technology.以及librarians should keep up with the latest in information technology.等可知图书馆管理员是被希望能够跟上信息技术的发展脚步的，并合理利用，而不是将新技术拒之门外。故选D。 【14题详解】 A推理判断题。根据第一段But libraries still exist today, and many of them even thrive(繁荣).可知，图书馆现在仍然存在，并且在想办法抵抗电子阅读器的竞争。所以可以推知作者对于图书馆是一种积极的心态。故选A。 【15题详解】 B主旨大意题。通读全文，可知第一段总起，将图书馆面临的对手，电子阅读器，的解决方法提出来。后面接着从两方面细谈，根据For one thing,，For another thing可知有两个观点。所以第二段和第三段是在阐述同一个观点，最后一段进行总结。故选B。 考点：考查社会现象类短文阅读。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的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。 Join the Friends and find the place that’s right for you ●Who are the Friends of the University Art Museum?

I said no without thinking. I did not love writing. My family came from Brazil, so English was only my second language. Writing was so difficult and painful for me that my teacher had allowed me to present my paper on the sinking of the Titanic by acting out a play, where I played all the parts. No one laughed harder than he did. So, why did he suddenly force me to do something at which I was sure to fail? His reply: “Because I love your stories. If you’re willing to apply yourself, I think you have a good shot at this.” Encouraged by his words, I agreed to give it a try. I chose Paul Revere’s horse as my subject. Paul Revere was a silversmith (银匠) in Boston who rode a horse at night on April 18, 1775 to Lexington to warn people that British soldiers were coming. My story would come straight from the horse’s mouth. Not a brilliant idea, but funny; and unlikely to be anyone else’s choice. What did the horse think, as he sped through the night? Did he get tired? Have doubts? Did he want to quit? I sympathized immediately. I got tired. I had doubts. I wanted to quit. But, like Revere’s horse, I kept going. I worked hard. I checked my spelling. I asked my older sister to correct my grammar. I checked out a half dozen books on Paul Revere from the library. I even read a few of them. When I handed in the essay to my teacher, he read it, laughed out loud, and said, “Great. Now, write it again.” I wrote it again, and again and again. When I finally finished it, the thought of winning had given way to the enjoyment of writing. If I didn’t win, I wouldn’t care. 注意: 1. 续写词数应为150个左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 A few weeks later, when I almost forgot the contest, there came the news. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I went to my teacher’s office after the award presentation. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 A few weeks later, when I almost forgot the contest, there came the news. I was informed that I won the first prize in the writing contest and that there would be an award presentation in two days. I was so happy to hear the news that I immediately shared it with my teacher. “I knew you’d win! I am proud of you. You made it!” he said excitedly. Then came the big day. When I was invited to the stage to receive the award, I expressed my thanks to my teacher. I said, “It’s you who make me fall in love with writing, my social studies teacher. Without your recognition and guidance, I couldn’t have written this article. Again thank you very much!” I went to my teacher’s office after the award presentation. My teacher was waiting for me. Holding my hands, he said “Congratulations! You are a good writer, so keep writing.” “You know I didn’t like writing before, but now I am crazy about it! I will try my best to create good works.” I said seriously. Since then, I have written many good works and now I am a famous writer. I owe my success to my social teacher who is a beacon in my life on the road to writing. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者上中学的时候，社会学老师邀请作者参加一个写作比赛。作者不喜欢写作，于是想都没想就拒绝了。但是在老师的鼓励下，作者同意试一试。作者在写作过程中虽然很累，但是没有放弃，坚持下来了。在作者最终完成写作时，作者感到写作让他很快乐，他已经不在乎输赢了。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“几个星期后，当我几乎忘记比赛的时候，传来了消息。”和第二段首句“颁奖后我去了老师的办公室。”可知，第一段可描写作者获得比赛一等奖，在颁奖典礼上作者表达了对社会老师的感激。 ②由第二段首句内容“颁奖后我去了老师的办公室。”可知，第二段可描写老师鼓励作者继续写作，自此作者坚持写作取得了成功，作者将这一切归功于自己的老师。 2.续写线索：比赛消息传来——作者获奖——高兴——颁奖典礼感谢老师——颁奖后来到老师办公室——老师告诉作者坚持写作——作者表达了对写作的喜爱——作者写作取得了成功——感激老师 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①告知：inform/tell ②成功做到：make it/succeed ③表达：express/convey 情绪类 ①高兴的：happy/glad ②激动地：excitedly/with excitement 【点睛】[高分句型1] I was informed that I won the first prize in the writing contest and that there would be an award presentation in two days. （运用了由连接词that引导的宾语从句） [高分句型2] It’s you who make me fall in love with writing, my social studies teacher.（运用了强调句） [高分句型3] I owe my success to my social teacher who is a beacon in my life on the road to writing.（运用了who引导的限制性定语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 揭阳第一中学2024~2025学年度高二级（104届） 第二学期第一次阶段考试 英语 第一部分：听说合考（共三节，满分20分） 英语听说合考部分在本次阶段考试笔试前完成，卷面满分60分，按照高考英语听说合考成绩折算成20分制，结果按“四舍五入”取整数，计入本次考试总分。 笔试部分注意事项： 1、笔试部分满分120分，按高考笔试部分的算法折算成130分制，结果按“四舍五入”方式取整数，计入考试总成绩。答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、考生号、考场号和座位号填写在答题卡上。 2、回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号。回答非选择题时，将答案写在答题卡上。写在本试卷上无效。 3、考试结束后，将本试卷答题卡交回。 第二部分：阅读理解（共二节，满分50分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分） 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。 A CONTENTS of Mathematics Ⅰ．Arithmetic Ⅰ．1．Introduction to Arithmetic Ⅰ．2．History of Arithmetic Ⅰ．3．Rules of Operations Ⅰ．4Applications of Operations Ⅱ．Algebra Ⅱ．1．Introduction to Algebra Ⅱ．2．Use of Algebra Ⅲ．Geometry Ⅲ．1．Introduction to Geometry Ⅲ．2．Applications of Geometry Ⅳ．Analysis Ⅳ．1．Introduction to Analysis Ⅳ．2．Applications of Analysis INTRODUCTION Arithmetic is a branch of mathematics that consists of the study of numbers, especially the properties of the traditional operations between them——addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. Arithmetic is an elementary part of number theory, and number theory is considered to be one of the top-level divisions of modern mathematics, along with algebra, geometry, and analysis. The terms arithmetic and higher arithmetic were used until the beginning of the 20th century as synonyms for number theory and are sometimes still used to refer to a wider part of number theory. RULES of Operations Based on arithmetic, usually, if α adds β, we' ll get γ as the sum. In other words, α is the difference between γ and β. So, this should be the first way of working numbers when people wanted to record something important. However, it was not enough when things became more complicated. As a result, we can do a more difficult counting of multiplication and division. In this way, if we get the product γ of α multiplied by β, we will get the quotient β of γ divided by α. This rules become the basis of arithmetic, and it is designed that the rule of multiplication or division has priority over the one of addition or subtraction, and brackets over any rules. APPLICATIONS of Analysis The diagram shows information about the speeds of 100 cars. The fastest car had a speed of 70 mph. Now, it is your turn to do a simple analysis based on the diagram on the right hand side. 1. From the diagram, how many cars were travelling above 40 mph? A. 20. B. 33. C. 37. D. 80. 2. Which of the followings is the correct arithmetic description of the equation“(α－β)÷γ=δ”? A. The difference between α and the quotient of β divided by γ makes δ. B. α subtracted from the quotient of β divided by γ makes δ. C. The quotient of β divided by γ subtracted from α makes δ. D. The difference between α and β divided by γ makes δ. 3. What can be probably learnt according to the text? A. Number theory consists of algebra geometry and analysis. B. The term of arithmetic was accepted in 2000. C. Number theory is based on arithmetic. D. Arithmetic is made up of mathematics. B 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项中，选出最佳选项。 Everyone gathered around and Paddy read out loud, slowly, his tone growing sadder and sadder. The little headline said: BOXER RECEIVES LIFE SENTENCE. Frank Cleary, aged 26, professional boxer, was today found guilty of the murder of Albert Cumming, aged 32, laborer, last July. The jury (陪审团) reached its decision after only ten minutes, recommending the most severe punishment the court could give out. It was, said the judge, a simple case. Cumming and Cleary had quarreled violently at the Harbour Hotel on July 23rd and the police saw Cleary kicking at the head of the unconscious Cumming. When arrested Cleary was drunk but clear-thinking… Cleary was sentenced to life imprisonment with hard labour. Asked if he had anything to say, Cleary answered, “Just don’t tell my mother.” “It happened over three years ago,” Paddy said helplessly. No one answered him or moved, for no one knew what to do. “Just don’t tell my mother,” said Fee numbly. “And no one did! Oh, God! My poor, poor Frank!” Paddy wiped the tears from his face and said. “Fee dear, pack your things. We’ll go to see him.” She half-rose before sinking back, her eyes in her small white face stared as if dead. “I can’t go,” she said without a hint of pain, yet making everyone feel that the pain was there. “It would kill him to see me. I know him so well— his pride, his ambition. Let him bear the shame alone, it’s what he wants. We’ve got to help him keep his secret. What good will it do him to see us? ” Paddy was still weeping, but not for Frank, for the life which had gone from Fee’s face, for the dying in her eyes. Frank had always brought bitterness and misfortune, always stood between Fee and himself. He was the cause of her withdrawal from his heart and the hearts of his children. Every time it looked as if there might be happiness for Fee, Frank took it away. But Paddy’s love for her was as deep and impossible to wipe out as hers was for Frank. So he said, “Well, Fee, we won’t go. But we must make sure he is taken care of. How about if I write to Father Jones and ask him to look out for Frank?” The eyes didn’t liven, but a faint pink stole into her cheeks. “Yes, Paddy, do that. Only make sure he knows not to tell Frank we found out. Perhaps it would ease Frank to think for certain that we don’t know.” 4 Which of the following is true according to the passage? A. Frank was found guilty of murder because he was a professional boxer. B. The family didn’t find out what happened to Frank until three years later. C. The jury and the judge disagreed on whether Frank had committed murder. D. Frank didn’t want his family to find out what happened because Paddy disliked him. 5. Paddy didn’t cry for Frank because he thought ________. A. Frank did kill someone and deserved the punishment B. Frank should have told Fee what had happened C. what had happened to Frank was killing Fee D. Frank had always been a man of bad moral character 6. Which of the following suggests that Fee was deeply shocked by what happened to Frank? A. “Her eyes in her small white face stared as if dead.” B. “Let him bear the shame alone, it’s what he wants.” C. “Every time it looked as if there might be happiness for Fee, Frank took it away.” D. “The eyes didn’t liven, but a faint pink stole into her cheeks.” 7. “She half-rose before sinking back …” (in Paragraph 6) shows that ________. A. Fee was so heart-broken that she could hardly stand up B. Fee didn’t want to upset Paddy by visiting Frank C. Fee couldn’t leave her family to go to see Frank D. Fee struggled between wanting to see Frank and respecting his wish C The elusive profound mystery of happiness could be as simple as remembering the good times and forgetting the regrets, a new university study reported yesterday. For people who look at the past through rose-tinted glasses are happier than those who focus on negative past experience and regrets, according to a new study published in the journal Personality and Individual Differences. The study is conducive to the explanation of why personality has such a strong influence on a person’s happiness. The findings suggest that people with certain personality traits are happier than others because of the way they think about their past, present and future. The study examined how people’s ratings on the “Big Five” personality traits relate to their approach to time and life satisfaction. The “Big Five” model assesses how extroverted, open, responsible, agreeable, and neurotic a person is, and rates individuals as high or low on each personality trait rather than assigning them a personality type. “We found that the first four kind of people are happier with their lives because they tend to hold a bright view of the past and are less likely to have negative thoughts and regrets. People high on the neurotic scale essentially have the exact opposite view of the past and are less happier as a result,” said Ryan Howell, assistant professor of psychology at San Francisco State University, who authored the study with SF State College senior Jiawei Zhang. “This is good news because though it may be difficult to change your personality, you may be able to change your view of time and boost your happiness,” Howell said. The authors suggest that enjoying happy memories or reframing painful past experience in a positive light could be effective ways for individuals to increase their life satisfaction. “Personality traits influence how people look at the past, present and future and it is these different perspectives on time that drive a person’s happiness,” Howell added. 8. The underlined phrase “through rose-tinted glasses” in Para. 1 probably means “______”. A. in a neurotic way B. in a pessimistic way C. in an optimistic way D. in a disappointing way 9. According to the passage, ______ may well improve your happiness. A. forgetting memories B. changing your personality C. remembering painful past experience D. viewing painful past memories positively 10. What kind of people are likely to be unhappier? A. Highly extraverted. B. Very agreeable. C. Rather neurotic. D. Quite open. 11. What is the best title for the passage? A. Personality Traits B. Secret of Happiness C. Past Experience Leads to Unhappiness D. Never Let Regrets Affect Your Happiness D Once upon a time, a library was just about the only place that someone could go to get a book or go to read for free. Then came the arrival of the Internet, and that changed everything. Before long, books were available on different sites on the web. It was only a matter of time until Kindle, Nook, and other e-readers swept the scene. Along with them came the e-book. Many believed that this would be the end of libraries. But libraries still exist today, and many of them even thrive(繁荣). So, how is it possible that they survived against the onslaught of e-books? For one thing, the truth is that libraries were never just about borrowing books for free. Librarians provide many services other than those of a desk clerk or customer service agent. They often hold seminars, presentations, contests, and other events to promote free education. These events are considered necessary by parents and kids alike. For others, the library is a place where they can go to get away from the rush of the world and from social obligations or family troubles. Many go to the library to study for projects, papers and exams. Others simply see it as a recreational hobby. For another thing, most libraries and librarians do not reject the changing tides of technology. And neither does the world, for that matter. In the US, the graduate degree program to become a librarian is often called a Library Science program. It reflects the fact that the country believes its librarians should keep up with the latest in information technology. Many librarians agree, and therefore have become experts in the field.

I said no without thinking. I did not love writing. My family came from Brazil, so English was only my second language. Writing was so difficult and painful for me that my teacher had allowed me to present my paper on the sinking of the Titanic by acting out a play, where I played all the parts. No one laughed harder than he did. So, why did he suddenly force me to do something at which I was sure to fail? His reply: “Because I love your stories. If you’re willing to apply yourself, I think you have a good shot at this.” Encouraged by his words, I agreed to give it a try. I chose Paul Revere’s horse as my subject. Paul Revere was a silversmith (银匠) in Boston who rode a horse at night on April 18, 1775 to Lexington to warn people that British soldiers were coming. My story would come straight from the horse’s mouth. Not a brilliant idea, but funny; and unlikely to be anyone else’s choice. What did the horse think, as he sped through the night? Did he get tired? Have doubts? Did he want to quit? I sympathized immediately. I got tired. I had doubts. I wanted to quit. But, like Revere’s horse, I kept going. I worked hard. I checked my spelling. I asked my older sister to correct my grammar. I checked out a half dozen books on Paul Revere from the library. I even read a few of them. When I handed in the essay to my teacher, he read it, laughed out loud, and said, “Great. Now, write it again.” I wrote it again, and again and again. When I finally finished it, the thought of winning had given way to the enjoyment of writing. If I didn’t win, I wouldn’t care. 注意: 1. 续写词数应为150个左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 A few weeks later, when I almost forgot the contest, there came the news. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I went to my teacher’s office after the award presentation. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
