And what’s the difference between being happy and having meaning in life? Many psychologists define happiness as a state of comfort and ease, feeling good at the moment. ___37___ The famous psychologist Martin Seligman says meaning comes from belonging to and serving something beyond yourself and from developing the best within you. There are four pillars(支柱)of a meaningful life. The first pillar is belonging. Belonging comes from being in relationships where you’re valued for who you are by nature and where you value others as well. ___38___ For others, the key to meaning is the second pillar: purpose. Finding your purpose is not the same thing as finding the job that makes you happy. ___39___ For example, a hospital nurse told me her purpose is helping sick people become healthy again. The third pillar of meaning is about stepping beyond yourself, but in a completely different way: transcendence(卓越). It is a state where you feel connected to a higher reality, and your sense of self fades away. The fourth pillar is storytelling, the story you tell yourself about yourself.

It is developing devices for the treatment of patients with neurological disorders(神经障碍). ___37___ How do brain-computer interfaces work? ___38___ For example, if a person imagines picking up a book, the computer would then learn to identify how the brain gives that command. Next, the computer would send the signal to the machine, which would then move a robotic arm to reach for the book. ___39___ Uploading a brain is only part of Musk’s plan. He revealed to Insider that his goal is to download human consciousness(意识)into robots. Just like how our memories are stored in mobile phones through pictures and videos, Musk imagines that our brains — not only how we think, but also our personalities and habits — can be transferred(转入)into robots. In this way, even after our bodies are rotten, our brains are preserved. ___40___ “The most wildly optimistic predictions place mind uploading within a few decades, but I would not be surprised if it took centuries,” wrote Michael S.

How was this possible? ___36___ Romantic Period Sound If you expect the music to have a regular, eight bar phrase(乐节), think again. It might have irregular phrases to throw you off course, like in Schubert’s ‘Unfinished’ Symphony No. 8. ___37___ It may well be that composers like Mahler jump to an unexpected musical ending, like in his Symphony No. 2. If in doubt, be prepared to forget anything and everything you previously thought about music, and expect to be surprised, attracted, and amazed by the unexpected twists and turns of the Romantic period. Romantic Instruments As music grew more expressive, the standard orchestral instruments just weren’t rich enough for many Romantic composers. So, more were added, including the contrabassoon, bass clarinet and piccolo, xylophones, drums, celestes, harps, bells, and triangles. ___38___ Listen to how Tchaikovsky makes use of various instruments in the ‘Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy’ in his ballet, The Nutcracker. Romantic Pieces Despite often being marked as a Classical period composer, Beethoven’s style really covered the two periods. His later works are pretty expansive, conjuring(变戏法般的)life, death, joy, peace, and even the concept of a universal brotherhood in the symphony of all symphonies, his choral Symphony No. 9, written in 1824. ___39___ It was a one-movement work evoking a story or poem, like Debussy’s dreamy Prélude à l’après-midi d’un faune or Dukas’ Sorcerer’s Apprentice. ___40___ They also expanded the orchestra to express the full range of human emotion through music. But, understandably, this over-indulgent expression had its critics(批判者)who favoured absolute music-music for music’s sake, without a programme or story-and these critics led music into the ever-diverse 20th Century period.

However, you’re likely to be led to believe that material gains are all that makes happiness, like a big house with grounds and a swimming pool, expensive cars, or a bank account with lots of money. ___37___ TV shows and movies with such a lifestyle often misguide you to spend your hard-earned dollars. You should enjoy the moment, even if you have further to go on the road to success. Happiness comes from your achievement, and the promise of more achievement ahead. You feel envious(嫉妒). When you see someone with a better car, or a better house, it is easy to feel you have failed if you don’t have the same.

Such a supreme pleasure as having a perfect conversation with a friend at night is necessarily rare, for as the playwright Li Liweng has pointed out,“ ___37___ The discovery of a man up in a mountain temple, who really understands life and at the same time understands the art of conversation, must therefore be one of the keenest pleasures, like the discovery of a new planet by an astronomer or of  a new variety of plant by a botanist. There is an evident distinction between mere talking and conversation as such. This distinction is made in the Chinese language between shuohua(speaking)and tanhua(conversation), which implies that in conversation the language used is more chatty and leisurely and the topics more trivial and less business like. ___38___  We can discuss business with almost any person, but there are very few people with whom we can truly hold a night's conversation. Hence, when we do find a true conversationalist, the pleasure is equal to, if not above, that of reading a delightful author, with the additional pleasure of hearing his voice and seeing his gestures. ___39___ There will be chats about ghosts and fox spirits, mixed with amusing tales or 39 impassioned comments: on international affairs, and sometimes before we know it, a wise observer and conversationalist may shed light on things that have bothered you for a long time. ___40___ A. There is much truth in that statement. B. Friendship fades without a sincere conversation. C. Whatever it is, conversationalist does contribute to our happiness. D. Such conversations remain among the memories that we cherish for life. E. Those who are wise seldom know how to talk, and those who talk are seldom wise. F. A similar difference may be noted between business letters and the letters of literary friends. G. Sometimes we find it at the happy reunion of old friends, or among strangers on a distant journey. 09 (2023-2024学年高一下·无锡市一中·期末校考) There are only a few truly pleasant smells to wake up to in the morning. It might be the aroma of freshly baked bread, or the scent of your freshly brushed teeth—but for me, it’s the smell of freshly brewed coffee. ___36___ If you’re a big fan of coffee, you’ll understand that opening a new packet of coffee releases an amazing smell—fresh, roasted coffee beans. Delicious! And if you’ve got a nose for the stuff, you’ll be able to identify the beans’ origin - Colombia, Vietnam or Brazil—the world’s biggest coffee producer. Tim Hayward is a food writer and coffee shop owner. ___37___ “When you walk into the coffee shop in the morning and that smell hits you, you’re getting physiological(生理上的)responses, ” he told the BBC. I know from experience when I walk into a café for my double espresso or flat white, my mouth begins to water in anticipation. ___38___ However, this feeling sometimes turns to disappointment when I actually start drinking my hot beverage—the taste just doesn’t match the smell ... This is particularly the case when I order a coffee to go in a tall paper cup and sip the liquid through a hole in the lid. ___39___ Tim Hayward describes this process as “weird” and “baffling”. He says, “You walk into the coffee shop, you get the smell, but when you actually take the drink out, you are drinking it from something that is designed to deliver the hot liquid directly past your tongue, but prevent any smell coming up to your nose.” ___40___ In 2011, it was estimated that 2.5 billion coffee cups were thrown away each year in the UK, and that figure is likely to be higher now. So maybe now is the time to really wake up and smell the coffee by drinking from a cup or mug in a café, chatting with friends and saving the planet. A. He believes the smell is absolutely vital. B. Coffee beans’ origin makes all the difference. C. In a word, saving our planet is on the top of our agenda. D. Yes, it’s convenient, but is it really the right way to appreciate it? E. As well as eliminating the smell, takeaway coffee cups create a lot of waste. F. Although it’s the caffeine hit I’m after, it’s the smell that makes me feel good. G. Just a sniff of it makes me jump out of bed and rush to the kitchen for a coffee. 10 (2023-2024学年高一下·盐城市一中·期末校考) Some people prefer to have a bite to eat before hitting the gym, known as a fed workout. Others would like to wait until after exercising to refuel their bodies, called a fasted workout. ___36___ Many experts say there’s no easy answer because it depends on the person. If you want energy and strength for an ideal workout, you need fuel. A fed workout will provide your body with power. Eating before exercise may help you sustain longer sessions and lift heavier weights. ___37___ Muscle preservation is also an essential component of strengthening your body. Nitrogen(氮)is critical for processing protein that builds healthy muscles. People tend to lose less nitrogen during a fed workout than a fasted one. Many fitness enthusiasts are not on board with this idea. They report feeling sick and inactive while trying to exercise after eating. With a fasted workout, you may not get the usual indigestion. Experts for fasted workouts further claim that eating afterwards makes your body use its fat reserves for energy, meaning you will burn more fat. ___38___ It can cause a sudden drop in your blood glucose(葡萄糖)levels, and you may feel dizzy. You may even be more likely to overeat. ___39___ Not all foods are created equal. For example, if you choose a fed workout, you’ll probably lose a lot of water during an intense training, so you should consider drinking some beforehand. With a fasted workout, it would help if you had some nutrition right after your session is complete. Drink some water. Then, have a light meal or nutritional snack. Deciding when to eat for an ideal workout is a personal choice. Both fasted workouts and fed activities have their benefits and shortcomings. ___40___ A. However, a fasted workout might not work for you. B. How your body will respond is based on your workout intensity. C. These benefits can result in burning more fat and shaping a slimmer body. D. To eat or not to eat, that is the question on many fitness enthusiasts’ minds. E. Think thoroughly and discuss with your fitness instructor before taking a choice. F. Knowing what to eat for an ideal workout is just as important as knowing when to eat. G. A person doing a 30-minute session a day may not have a problem with fasted workouts. / 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 专题03 阅读理解七选五 (语篇正文字数250左右) 01 (2023-2024学年高一下·南京市江宁区·期末统考) Sometimes dealing with your negative emotions can be challenging.

In fact, only those who are diligent can overcome them.(事实上，只有那些勤奋的人才能克服它们)符合语境，故选D项。 37. 根据上文“First of all, having a clear vision is essential to be diligent in life. If you are not clear about what you want to achieve in life, you will lose direction, motivation and enthusiasm in life.”(首先，在生活中，有一个清晰的愿景是勤奋必不可少的因素。如果你不清楚自己想要在生活中实现什么，你就会失去生活的方向、动力和热情)可知，首先要有个明确的目标，才有勤奋努力的方向。B项中的On the other hand与上文形成对比， if you are省略了clear about what you want to achieve in life。所以B. On the other hand, if you are, you will stay diligent.(相反，如果清楚自己想要在生活中实现什，你会保持勤奋)符合语境，故选B项。 38. 根据下文“Proper planning enables us to turn most of the goals into reality without regrets in later part of life. Having a plan in advance, though, does not mean that you have to plan from start to finish. It means you should know in which direction you are heading.”(适当的计划能让我们把大部分的目标变成现实，在以后的生活中没有遗憾。提前制定计划并不意味着你必须从头到尾都计划好。这意味着你应该知道你要朝哪个方向前进)可知，空格处为总写句，指出提前做个计划非常重要。F项It is of the same importance to have a specific plan beforehand.(事先有一个具体的计划也是同样重要的)符合语境，故选F项。 39. 根据上文“Moreover, excuses are not going to keep you away from regrets in your later life. If you delay diligence because of your family responsibility, it simply means your goals are not in your priority list, which is why excuses are coming.”(此外，借口并不能让你在以后的生活中远离遗憾。如果你因为家庭责任而推迟了勤奋，这仅仅意味着你的目标不在你的优先列表中，这也由此产生了借口)可知，借口是成功路上的绊脚石，所以空格处为这一段的总结，告诉人们在追求成功的路上不要找借口。G. So follow your dreams with no excuse to live a happy and successful life.(所以，追随你的梦想吧，不要找借口，去过幸福成功的生活)符合语境，故选G项。 40. 根据下文“Otherwise, you might unconsciously develop the habit of not being serious about bigger tasks as well.”(否则，你可能会无意识地养成不认真对待大任务的习惯)句中Otherwise表示否则，C项中的small和下文的bigger形成鲜明的对比。C. You need to practice diligence even for the smallest task.(你需要练习勤奋，即使是最小的任务)符合语境，故选C项。 (语篇正文字数300左右) 01 (2023-2024学年高一下·南京市六校联合体·期末联考) The Chinese lunar calendar divides the year into 24 solar terms.

Everyone said the path to happiness was success, so I searched for that ideal job, that perfect boyfriend, and that beautiful apartment. ___36___ Eventually, I decided to go to graduate school for positive psychology(心理)to learn what truly makes people happy. And what’s the difference between being happy and having meaning in life? Many psychologists define happiness as a state of comfort and ease, feeling good at the moment. ___37___ The famous psychologist Martin Seligman says meaning comes from belonging to and serving something beyond yourself and from developing the best within you. There are four pillars(支柱)of a meaningful life. The first pillar is belonging. Belonging comes from being in relationships where you’re valued for who you are by nature and where you value others as well. ___38___ For others, the key to meaning is the second pillar: purpose. Finding your purpose is not the same thing as finding the job that makes you happy. ___39___ For example, a hospital nurse told me her purpose is helping sick people become healthy again. The third pillar of meaning is about stepping beyond yourself, but in a completely different way: transcendence(卓越). It is a state where you feel connected to a higher reality, and your sense of self fades away. The fourth pillar is storytelling, the story you tell yourself about yourself. It helps you understand how you became you. ___40___ But when life is really good and when things are really bad, having meaning gives you something to hold on to. That’s the power of meaning. A. Meaning, though, is deeper. B. Happiness comes and goes. C. The key to purpose is using your strengths to serve others. D. It’s happiness that our culture attaches great importance to. E.

How was this possible? ___36___ Romantic Period Sound If you expect the music to have a regular, eight bar phrase(乐节), think again. It might have irregular phrases to throw you off course, like in Schubert’s ‘Unfinished’ Symphony No. 8. ___37___ It may well be that composers like Mahler jump to an unexpected musical ending, like in his Symphony No. 2. If in doubt, be prepared to forget anything and everything you previously thought about music, and expect to be surprised, attracted, and amazed by the unexpected twists and turns of the Romantic period. Romantic Instruments As music grew more expressive, the standard orchestral instruments just weren’t rich enough for many Romantic composers. So, more were added, including the contrabassoon, bass clarinet and piccolo, xylophones, drums, celestes, harps, bells, and triangles. ___38___ Listen to how Tchaikovsky makes use of various instruments in the ‘Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy’ in his ballet, The Nutcracker. Romantic Pieces Despite often being marked as a Classical period composer, Beethoven’s style really covered the two periods. His later works are pretty expansive, conjuring(变戏法般的)life, death, joy, peace, and even the concept of a universal brotherhood in the symphony of all symphonies, his choral Symphony No. 9, written in 1824. ___39___ It was a one-movement work evoking a story or poem, like Debussy’s dreamy Prélude à l’après-midi d’un faune or Dukas’ Sorcerer’s Apprentice. ___40___ They also expanded the orchestra to express the full range of human emotion through music. But, understandably, this over-indulgent expression had its critics(批判者)who favoured absolute music-music for music’s sake, without a programme or story-and these critics led music into the ever-diverse 20th Century period. A. Beethoven is the originator of the Romantic period. B. Learn more and listen to the best pieces with our guide. C. The period also saw the development of the tone poem. D. When it comes to the Romantic period, the bigger, the better. E. To make a conclusion, they had more free time to write music. F.

Hence, when we do find a true conversationalist, the pleasure is equal to, if not above, that of reading a delightful author, with the additional pleasure of hearing his voice and seeing his gestures.(我们几乎可以和任何人讨论业务，但是很少有人能和我们真正进行一夜的交谈。因此，当我们找到一位真正的健谈者时，其乐趣即使不比阅读一位令人愉快的作家的作品更大，也与听到他的声音和看到他的手势的乐趣相当)”可知，F项“在商业信函和文学朋友的信函之间也可以发现类似的区别”承接上文，说明谈话与商业和文学朋友的来往不一样，引出下文解释它们的不同之处，故选F项。 39. 根据下文的“There will be chats about ghosts and fox spirits, mixed with amusing tales or 39 impassioned comments: on international affairs, and sometimes before we know it, a wise observer and conversationalist may shed light on things that have bothered you for a long time.(会有关于鬼魂和狐妖的聊天，夹杂着有趣的故事或39条慷慨激昂的评论：关于国际事务，有时在我们意识到这一点之前，一个明智的观察者和健谈者可能会揭示困扰你很长时间的事情)”可知，G项(有时，我们在老朋友的欢乐重逢中，或在长途旅行中的陌生人之间，发现这一点)引出下文，再次举例子说明会说话的人是不一样的，故选G项。 40. 根据上文的“There will be chats about ghosts and fox spirits, mixed with amusing tales or 39 impassioned comments: on international affairs, and sometimes before we know it, a wise observer and conversationalist may shed light on things that have bothered you for a long time.(会有关于鬼魂和狐妖的聊天，夹杂着有趣的故事或39条慷慨激昂的评论：关于国际事务，有时在我们意识到这一点之前，一个明智的观察者和健谈者可能会揭示困扰你很长时间的事情)”可知，C项“不管是什么，健谈的人确实有助于我们的幸福”承接上文，说明了健谈的人不管说什么都会使倾听者感到愉快，故选C项。 09 (2023-2024学年高一下·无锡市一中·期末校考) There are only a few truly pleasant smells to wake up to in the morning. It might be the aroma of freshly baked bread, or the scent of your freshly brushed teeth—but for me, it’s the smell of freshly brewed coffee. ___36___ If you’re a big fan of coffee, you’ll understand that opening a new packet of coffee releases an amazing smell—fresh, roasted coffee beans. Delicious! And if you’ve got a nose for the stuff, you’ll be able to identify the beans’ origin - Colombia, Vietnam or Brazil—the world’s biggest coffee producer. Tim Hayward is a food writer and coffee shop owner. ___37___ “When you walk into the coffee shop in the morning and that smell hits you, you’re getting physiological(生理上的)responses, ” he told the BBC. I know from experience when I walk into a café for my double espresso or flat white, my mouth begins to water in anticipation. ___38___ However, this feeling sometimes turns to disappointment when I actually start drinking my hot beverage—the taste just doesn’t match the smell ... This is particularly the case when I order a coffee to go in a tall paper cup and sip the liquid through a hole in the lid. ___39___ Tim Hayward describes this process as “weird” and “baffling”. He says, “You walk into the coffee shop, you get the smell, but when you actually take the drink out, you are drinking it from something that is designed to deliver the hot liquid directly past your tongue, but prevent any smell coming up to your nose.” ___40___ In 2011, it was estimated that 2.5 billion coffee cups were thrown away each year in the UK, and that figure is likely to be higher now. So maybe now is the time to really wake up and smell the coffee by drinking from a cup or mug in a café, chatting with friends and saving the planet. A. He believes the smell is absolutely vital. B. Coffee beans’ origin makes all the difference. C. In a word, saving our planet is on the top of our agenda. D. Yes, it’s convenient, but is it really the right way to appreciate it? E. As well as eliminating the smell, takeaway coffee cups create a lot of waste. F. Although it’s the caffeine hit I’m after, it’s the smell that makes me feel good. G. Just a sniff of it makes me jump out of bed and rush to the kitchen for a coffee. 【答案】36. G 37. A 38. F 39. D 40. E 【语篇导读】这是一篇说明文。这篇文章主要讲了早晨醒来，闻到咖啡的香味，喝一杯纯正的咖啡，是一种莫大的享受，但因为外带咖啡的出现，不仅过滤掉了咖啡的香气，还造成了环境污染。 36. 上文“There are only a few truly pleasant smells to wake up to in the morning.(早晨醒来时真正令人愉快的气味只有几种)”可知，作者提出“令人愉快的气味”这一概念，下文“but for me, it’s the smell of freshly brewed coffee.(但对我来说，它是刚煮好的咖啡的香味)”可以推出，后文是想说咖啡的香味对作者的影响。G项“只要闻一下它的味道，我就会从床上跳起来，冲到厨房去喝咖啡”与前后文有顺承递进关系，故选G项。 37. 上文“Tim Hayward is a food writer and coffee shop owner.(蒂姆·海沃德是一位美食作家和咖啡店老板)”介绍被采访者身份信息，下文“When you walk into the coffee shop in the morning and that smell hits you, you’re getting physiological responses,” he told the BBC.(他在接受BBC采访时表示：“当你早上走进咖啡店，闻到咖啡的香味时，你会产生生理反应)”可以推出，空处需要填的是蒂姆·海沃德对于咖啡香气的观点——非常重要，因为闻到了咖啡香味甚至会产生生理反应。A项“他认为气味是绝对重要的”符合文意，且选项中的“He”对应前文Tim Hayward，故选A项。 38. 上文“I know from experience when I walk into a café for my double espresso or flat white, my mouth begins to water in anticipation.(根据我的经验，当我走进咖啡厅去点双份浓缩咖啡或馥芮白的时候，我就会因为期待而开始流口水)”可知，作者“根据自己的经验”指的是会因为咖啡的香味走进一家咖啡店，并且作者一般会点一些重咖啡因的无糖咖啡，并且会因为闻到了气味而感到期待。F项“虽然我追求的是咖啡因，但让我感觉良好的是它的味道”对前文有总结作用，故选F项。 39. 上文“This is particularly the case when I order a coffee to go in a tall paper cup and sip the liquid through a hole in the lid.(当我点了一杯装在高纸杯里的咖啡，然后通过杯盖上的一个洞喝咖啡时，这种情况尤其明显)”可知，作者发现用咖啡杯喝咖啡最容易感到失望，下文“Tim Hayward describes this process as “weird” and “baffling”.(蒂姆•海沃德将这一过程描述为“怪异”和“令人困惑”)”和“you are drinking it from something that is designed to deliver the hot liquid directly past your tongue, but prevent any smell coming up to your nose.”(你喝的是某种设计好的东西，它能让热液体直接经过你的舌头，但防止任何气味进入你的鼻子)”用蒂姆·海沃德解释了作者发现的这一现象。由此可以推出，空处需要填一句话将上下文段联系在一起。D项“是的，这很方便，但这真的是欣赏咖啡的正确方式吗”符合文意，选项中“it”指的是用咖啡杯喝咖啡很方便，故选D项。 40. 上文“you are drinking it from something that is designed to deliver the hot liquid directly past your tongue, but prevent any smell coming up to your nose.”(你喝的是某种设计好的东西，它能让热液体直接经过你的舌头，但防止任何气味进入你的鼻子)”可知，咖啡杯会过滤掉咖啡的香气，下文“In 2011, it was estimated that 2.5 billion coffee cups were thrown away each year in the UK, and that figure is likely to be higher now. So maybe now is the time to really wake up and smell the coffee by drinking from a cup or mug in a café, chatting with friends and saving the planet.(据估计，英国每年有二十五亿个咖啡杯被扔掉，而现在这个数字可能更高。所以，也许现在是时候真正清醒过来，在咖啡厅里用杯子或马克杯喝咖啡，和朋友聊天，拯救地球)”讲的是咖啡杯对环境造成的影响。故空处需要承上启下。E项“外带咖啡杯除了会减去咖啡的味道之外，还会造成大量浪费”对前文有总结作用，对后文有启下作用，故选E项。 10 (2023-2024学年高一下·盐城市一中·期末校考) Some people prefer to have a bite to eat before hitting the gym, known as a fed workout. Others would like to wait until after exercising to refuel their bodies, called a fasted workout. ___36___ Many experts say there’s no easy answer because it depends on the person. If you want energy and strength for an ideal workout, you need fuel. A fed workout will provide your body with power. Eating before exercise may help you sustain longer sessions and lift heavier weights. ___37___ Muscle preservation is also an essential component of strengthening your body. Nitrogen(氮)is critical for processing protein that builds healthy muscles. People tend to lose less nitrogen during a fed workout than a fasted one. Many fitness enthusiasts are not on board with this idea. They report feeling sick and inactive while trying to exercise after eating. With a fasted workout, you may not get the usual indigestion. Experts for fasted workouts further claim that eating afterwards makes your body use its fat reserves for energy, meaning you will burn more fat. ___38___ It can cause a sudden drop in your blood glucose(葡萄糖)levels, and you may feel dizzy. You may even be more likely to overeat. ___39___ Not all foods are created equal. For example, if you choose a fed workout, you’ll probably lose a lot of water during an intense training, so you should consider drinking some beforehand. With a fasted workout, it would help if you had some nutrition right after your session is complete. Drink some water. Then, have a light meal or nutritional snack. Deciding when to eat for an ideal workout is a personal choice. Both fasted workouts and fed activities have their benefits and shortcomings. ___40___ A. However, a fasted workout might not work for you. B. How your body will respond is based on your workout intensity. C. These benefits can result in burning more fat and shaping a slimmer body. D. To eat or not to eat, that is the question on many fitness enthusiasts’ minds. E. Think thoroughly and discuss with your fitness instructor before taking a choice. F. Knowing what to eat for an ideal workout is just as important as knowing when to eat. G. A person doing a 30-minute session a day may not have a problem with fasted workouts. 【答案】36. D 37. C 38. A 39. F 40. E 【语篇导读】这是一篇议论文。文章讨论了进食锻炼和快速锻炼的优缺点，告诉人们在做出选择之前，彻底地考虑并与自己的健身教练讨论。 36. 根据上文“Some people prefer to have a bite to eat before hitting the gym, known as a fed workout.
