B
The TV room at the south end of our house is like a black hole: It’s the place where things often end up if there’s no other place to put them, or if I can’t decide whether to throw them away. As such, it’s a land of perfectly serviceable cardboard boxes, old magazines saved for the recipes I will never try, shoes that are just about but not quite worn out, a wood stove I rarely light and other odds and ends.
Just the other night, I heard a scratching sound coming from the TV room. I went out to have a look, but of course there was no sound when I got there. Yet after I had gone to bed, it was loud enough to wake me.
The next morning at breakfast the scratching continued even as I entered the room, long enough for me to identify the source, which was the stovepipe leading from the wood stove. Ever so carefully, I approached and opened the stove’s front doors. There it was — a surprised, little squirrel, looking straight up at me.
I immediately shut the stove doors and considered what to do. I didn’t want to kill it, so I decided I would give it an easy escape route.
I closed the door to the kitchen and opened the outside door. It was a windy, freezing day, and the cold air immediately rushed in. I threw the stove doors open, stepped back and waited — but not for long. The squirrel jumped out of the stove, but it was upset and didn’t head outside. Instead, it tore through my magazines in piles, ran up the curtains, and then broke my collection of soda bottles, sending several crashing to the floor. The animal was in a complete panic, and all I could do was stand back and hope it would leave.
It finally dawned on me that I was probably the thing scaring it into a panic. So, I quickly left the room. When I returned it had gone. Job done.
All in all, two jobs were done that day. Not only did I evacuate a squirrel, but the animal did me a big favor: it made the TV room into more of a mess than it was before, to the point where I could stand it no longer. I made a great effort in making the room tidy. Finally, I had the clean, inviting space I had planned to have all along.
41. What does the author mean by describing the TV room as “a black hole”?
A. The author cannot find anything in the TV room except a hole.
B. The TV room contains various things that the author rarely uses.
C. The TV room is too dark to see things as clear as possible.
D. There is no space to put anything in the TV room.
42. What did the author do when he/she first saw the squirrel?
A. The author attempted to catch it immediately.
B. The author ignored the squirrel and left.
C. The author closed the stove’s front doors.
D. The author caught it without any hesitation.
43. What does the word “panic” mean in Para.5?
A. A state of excitement and joy B. A state of standing still without moving
C. A feeling of fear and anxiety D. A feeling of being embarrassed
44. According to the last paragraph, what is the author’s attitude towards the squirrel?
A. The author was annoyed with the squirrel.
B. The author was upset about the squirrel’s leaving.
C. The author doesn’t like the squirrel.
D. The author felt grateful to the squirrel.
45. What might the best title of the passage?
A. A Squirrel’s Chaos Leads to an Unexpected Cleanup.
B. A Squirrel’s Escape from a Wood Stove.
C. Saving a Squirrel: A Lesson in Kindness.
D. Trapped in the Stove: A Rescue Mission in Winter.
【答案】41. B 42. C 43. C 44. D 45. A

As such, it’s a land of perfectly serviceable cardboard boxes, old magazines saved for the recipes I will never try, shoes that are just about but not quite worn out, a wood stove I rarely light and other odds and ends.(我们家南端的电视房就像一个黑洞:如果找不到其他地方放东西,或者我拿不定主意要不要扔掉,东西最终都会堆到那里。因此,这里成了完好无损的纸板箱、为我永远不会尝试的食谱而保存的旧杂志、快要穿坏但还没完全穿坏的鞋子、我很少生火的木炉以及其他各种零碎物品的天下)”可知,作者说自家电视房就像一个黑洞,指她一旦有用不着又舍不得扔的东西都放那里,导致那里放着各种各样的很少用到的杂物。故选B项。
【42题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“I immediately shut the stove doors and considered what to do.(我立刻关上了炉子的门,考虑接下来该怎么办)”可知,作者发现炉子里有一只松鼠的第一反应就是把炉子前门关住。故选C项。
【43题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第五段“The squirrel jumped out of the stove, but it was upset and didn’t head outside. Instead, it tore through my magazines in piles, ran up the curtains, and then broke my collection of soda bottles, sending several crashing to the floor.(松鼠从炉子里跳了出来,但它很不安,并没有朝外面去。相反,它在一堆堆杂志里撕扯着,爬上窗帘,然后打碎了我的汽水瓶收藏,好几个瓶子摔到地上碎了)”可知,小松鼠的表现说明它很恐惧慌乱,由此推测panic的意思是“恐慌”。故选C项。
【44题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“All in all, two jobs were done that day. Not only did I evacuate a squirrel, but the animal did me a big favor: it made the TV room into more of a mess than it was before, to the point where I could stand it no longer. I made a great effort in making the room tidy. Finally, I had the clean, inviting space I had planned to have all along.(总的来说,那天完成了两项工作。我不仅把松鼠赶走了,而且这个动物还帮我做了一件大事:它把电视房弄得比以前更乱了,乱到我再也无法忍受。我费了好大一番功夫才把房间整理干净。最后,我得到了我一直计划要的那个干净、吸引人的空间)”推测,最后作者对小松鼠的出现是感激的,此事促使她把电视房清理干净了,做了她一直想做去没做的事情。故选D项。
【45题详解】
主旨大意题。根据最后一段“All in all, two jobs were done that day. Not only did I evacuate a squirrel, but the animal did me a big favor: it made the TV room into more of a mess than it was before, to the point where I could stand it no longer.

C
For years, the U.S. has experienced a shortage of registered nurses. The Bureau of Labor Statistics projects that while the number of nurses will increase by 19 percent by 2022, demand will grow faster than supply, and that there will be over one million unfilled nursing jobs by then.
So what’s the solution? Robots.
Japan is ahead of the curve when it comes to this trend. Toyohashi University of Technology has developed Terapio, a robotic medical cart that can make hospital rounds, deliver medications and oilier items, and retrieve (检索) records. It follows a specific individual, such as a doctor or nurse, who can use it to record and access patient data. This type of robot will likely be one of the first to be put into use in hospitals because it has fairly minimal patient contact.
Robots capable of social engagement help with loneliness as well as cognitive (认知的) functioning, but the robot itself doesn’t have to engage directly — it can serve as an intermediary for human communication. Telepresence robots such as MantaroBot, Vgo, and Giraff can be controlled through a computer, smartphone, or tablet, allowing family members or doctors to remotely monitor patients or Skype them, often via a screen where the robot’s “face” would be. If you can’t get to the nursing home to visit grandma, you can use a telepresence robot to hang out with her. A 2016 study found that users had a “consistently positive attitude” about the Giraff robot’s ability to enhance communication and decrease feelings of loneliness.
A robot’s appearance affects its ability to successfully interact with humans, which is why the RIKEN-TRI Collaboration Center for Human-Interactive Robot Research decided to develop a robotic nurse that looks a huge teddy bear. RIBA (Robot for Interactive Body Assistance), also known as “Robear” can help patients into and out of wheelehairs and beds with its strong arms. On the less cute and more scary side there is Actroid F, which is so human-like that some patients may not know the difference. This conversational robot companion has cameras in its eyes, which allow it to track patients and use appropriate facial expressions and body language in its interactions. During a month-long hospital trial, researchers asked 70 patients how they felt being around the robot and “only three or four said they didn’t like having it around.”
It’s important to note that robotic nurses don’t decide courses of treatment or make diagnoses (though robot doctors and surgeons may not be far off). Instead, they perform routine and laborious tasks, freeing nurses up to attend to patients with immediate needs. This is one industry where it seems the interaction of robots will lend to collaboration, not replacement.
46. What does the author say about Japan?
A. It delivers the bet medication for the elderly.
B. It provides retraining for registered nurses.
C. It takes the lead in providing robotic care.
D. It sets the trend in future robotics technology.
47. What are telepresence robots designed to do?
A. Directly interact with patients to prevent them from feeling lonely.
B. Cater to the needs of patients for recovering their cognitive capacity.
C. Facilitate communication between patients and doctors or family members.
D. Closely monitor the patients’ movements and conditions around the clock.
48. What is one special feature of the robot Actroid F?
A. It uses body language even more effectively than words.
B. It operates quietly without patients realizing its presence.
C. It likes to engage in everyday conversations with patients.
D. It interacts with patients just like a human companion.
49. What is the attitude of the 70 patients towards the robotic nurses?
A. Almost all of them are in favor of it. B. They are indifferent to it.
C. They feel bored around them. D. They don’t like having it around.
50. What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A. Doctors and surgeons will soon be laid off.
B. Robots will assist nurses in their work.
C. The robotics industry will soon take off.
D. Cooperation will not replace completion.
【答案】46. C 47. C 48. D 49. A 50. B

D
It is widely acknowledged that happiness comes from within. However, how we perceive and interact with the world are important factors for happiness. But everything exists in a context, and this is a crucial component of everybody’s happiness. I still remember the beautiful plant I had in my flat as a student. Although I tended carefully to it, it was never happy. The problem was, no matter what I did, it was never going to be happy, for this plant longed for hot and damp environment, which my draughty Scottish flat was never going to provide. I could have blamed the plant or myself but, realistically, it needed a different context to make it happy.
Context is equally as important for humans. How we perceive our world is important, but if we start seeing this as everything, we start to place the blame of unhappiness and full responsibility for happiness on the individual. This is problematic. Yes we want to increase adaptability, so that we can deal with stressful situations. This is relevant in both personal and work situations. Telling somebody they need to cope better when their work load is unmanageable is unhelpful. The same applies in your personal life. Telling someone who faces daily bullying that they need to cope with it better to be happy suggests they are somehow to blame for the complex systemic and cultural factors that create stress, difficult emotions and unhappiness. It places the responsibility back on the individual, thereby creating even mere stress.
Many studies show how context is important to happiness: people who have access to green spaces have higher happiness levels; people who work in organizations with a safe and supportive culture feel and work better; people who experience discrimination or bullying have higher levels of unhappiness. If our context makes us feel safe and valued, we are less stressed and happier.
Of course, not all aspects of context can be changed easily. You may be trapped in a difficult work situation because you need money to repay your car loan. In such situations, it’s important to separate context from self. Bear in mind that the context is crucial for how you are feeling; seek support, talk things through and solve problems, if possible.
It is also important to think about the aspects of context that are in your control. Which elements get in the way of building your sandwich, distract you from it or create barriers to using it? Which elements make it easier for you to build your sandwich and support you in doing so?
51. Why did the author mention the plant he had as a student in the first paragraph?
A. To raise the readers’ interest in plants B. To share his experience with readers.
C. To conclude the importance of happiness. D. To explain the main topic of the passage.
52. What can we infer from the second paragraph?
A. Attaching too much importance to context may lead to more problems.
B. Increasing our adaptability can help us deal with various situations.
C. Placing the responsibility back on the individual creates more stress.
D. Perceiving our world connects personal situations with work ones.
53. In what context do people have higher happiness levels?
A. They have access to quiet and faraway places.
B. They work in a company with risky culture.
C. They experience racial discrimination and betrayal.
D. They stay in a safe and encouraging environment.
54. If you are stuck in a difficult situation, what are you suggested to do?
A. Make great efforts to change the situation. B. Separate the situation from your family.
C. Turn to others for help and solve the problem. D. Keep a good state of mind and earn more money.
55 What is the passage mainly talked about?
A. Interacting with the world increases everybody’s happiness.
B. Context plays an extremely important role in everybody’s happiness.
C. Happiness comes from our perceiving the surroundings and ourselves.
D. Thinking about the aspects of context that are in your control is crucial.
【答案】51. D 52. A 53. D 54. C 55. B

【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章以“植物需要适宜环境”类比,指出人类的幸福同样依赖于外部环境。过度将幸福归因于个人会加剧压力,而安全、支持性的环境能提升幸福感。
【51题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“It is widely acknowledged that happiness comes from within, However, how we perceive and interact with the world are important factors for happiness. But everything exists in a context, and this is a crucial component of everybody’s happiness. I still remember the beautiful plant I had in my flat as a student. Although I tended carefully to it, it was never happy. The problem was, no matter what I did, it was never going to be happy, for this plant longed for hot and damp environment, which my draughty Scottish flat was never going to provide. I could have blamed the plant or myself but, realistically, it needed a different context to make it happy.(人们普遍认为,幸福源自内心。然而,我们如何看待和与这个世界互动的方式也是影响幸福感的重要因素。但一切事物都存在于一定的环境中,而这正是每个人幸福感的关键组成部分。我还记得我学生时代在公寓里养的那一株美丽的植物。尽管我悉心照料它,但它却从未感到快乐。问题在于,无论我做什么,它都永远无法快乐起来,因为这株植物渴望炎热潮湿的环境,而我那有微风的苏格兰公寓根本无法提供这样的环境。我本可以责怪这株植物或者责怪自己,但实际上,它需要一个不同的环境才能快乐起来)”可知,作者在第一段中为何提及他学生时代所种植的那株植物是为了阐明本文的主题——幸福同样依赖于外部环境。故选D。
【52题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“Telling somebody they need to cope better when their work load is unmanageable is unhelpful. The same applies in your personal life. Telling someone who faces daily bullying that they need to cope with it better to be happy suggests they are somehow to blame for the complex systemic and cultural factors that create stress, difficult emotions and unhappiness. It places the responsibility back on the individual, thereby creating even mere stress.(当一个人的工作负担难以承受时,告诉他们需要更好地应对这种状况是毫无帮助的。同样的道理也适用于个人生活。告诉那些每天遭受欺凌的人,他们需要更好地应对这种状况才能获得快乐,这暗示着他们自身在某种程度上要为造成压力、负面情绪和不快的复杂系统性及文化性因素负责。这将责任推回给个人身上,从而只会进一步增加他们的压力)”可知,过分注重背景信息可能会导致更多问题。故选A。
【53题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“Many studies show how context is important to happiness: people who have access to green spaces have higher happiness levels; people who work in organizations with a safe and supportive culture feel and work better; people who experience discrimination or bullying have higher levels of unhappiness.(许多研究都表明,环境对幸福感有着重要影响:拥有绿色空间的人幸福感更高;在拥有安全且支持性文化的工作环境中工作的人工作和生活状态更好;遭受歧视或欺凌的人幸福感更低)”可知,人们身处一个安全且令人鼓舞的环境中会拥有更高的幸福感。故选D。
【54题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“Bear in mind that the context is crucial for how you are feeling; seek support, talk things through and solve problems, if possible.(要记住,环境对你的感受至关重要;寻求支持,把事情说清楚并解决问题(如果可能的话))”可知,如果你陷入了一种困境,你需要向他人寻求帮助来解决问题。故选C。
【55题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,并根据第二段“Context is equally as important for humans. How we perceive our world is important, but if we start seeing this as everything, we start to place the blame of unhappiness and full responsibility for happiness on the individual.(对于人类而言,背景环境同样至关重要。我们如何感知这个世界是很重要的,但如果我们将这一切视为一切,那么我们就会开始将不快乐的责任归咎于个人,而将创造幸福的全部责任推卸给个人)”可知,这篇文章主要谈论了语境对每个人的幸福都有着极其重要的影响。故选B。

阅读短文,并按照题目要求用英语回答问题
Eleven-year-old Ruby Kate has long been close to older folks. Her mother, Amanda Chitsey, works at nursing homes in northwest Arkansas, and Ruby Kate often goes with her in the summer. “I’ve never found them scary at all, so I’m able to just go up to them and ask if they need anything,” she says.
Last May, Ruby Kate noticed a resident named Pearl staring out a window. She seemed sad. “What are you looking at?” Ruby Kate asked. Pearl said she was watching her dog being led away by his new owner after a visit. Pearl didn’t know when she would see her dog again.
Ruby Kate and Amanda asked around and discovered that the nursing home didn’t allow residents to have dogs and Pearl couldn’t afford to pay anyone to look after hers. The Chitseys also learned that many nursing home residents are unable to afford even the smallest luxuries. So Ruby Kate decided to do something about it.
She started by asking residents what three things they wanted most in the world. “That’s a lot simpler than going, ‘Hey, what do you want?’” she explains. “They can understand you better.” Amanda worried that people would ask for cars and other things an 11-year-old wouldn’t be able to provide. Instead, they asked for chocolate bars, McDonald’s fries, pants that fit properly, and even just a prayer.
“It broke me as a human,” Amanda says. “We left the nursing home that day and went straight to a store and bought as many items as we could.” Using their own money, the Chitseys granted the wishes of about 100 people in three months.
Then they started asking for donations, set up a GoFundMe page, Three Wishes for Ruby’s Residents, and raised more than $250,000 in five months. One of their new goals is to set up a communal laptop in one nursing home in each state.Ruby Kate doesn’t plan to stop there. “I consider kindness to be my hobby,” she says, “and I’m very good at it.”
56. What makes Ruby Kate have a close relationship with older people? (No more than 10 words)
57. Why was Pearl’s dog taken away from her? (No more than 15 words)
58. What are paragraphs 4 and 5 mainly about? (No more than 10 words)
59. How do you understand the underlined sentence in the last paragraph? (No more than 10 words)
60. What do you think of Ruby Kate? Give your reasons. (No more than 20 words)
【答案】56. That she often goes to them and finds them not scary.
57. Because the nursing home forbad dogs and Pearl couldn’t afford to have hers looked after. Or: Because the nursing home banned dogs and Pearl had no money to have hers raised. Or: Because the nursing home didn’t allow dogs and Pearl couldn’t pay to have hers raised.
58. How Ruby Kate(the Chitseys)helped the nursing home residents.
59. She will continue to do more work to offer help.
60. Ruby Kate is kind, bright and helpful because she has devoted herself to helping people in a smart way.

How to Deal with Academic Pressure
As we know, academic pressure has become a common challenge for students, especially in senior high school. It mainly comes from exams, heavy homework, and fierce competition for college admission.
To cope with this pressure, effective strategies are essential. First, time management can help us prioritize tasks and avoid procrastination. For example, making a daily study plan ensures efficiency. Second, physical activities like jogging or playing basketball can relieve stress by releasing endorphins. Additionally, talking to friends, teachers, or family members about our worries provides emotional support.
In my opinion, mental health is as important as academic success. Schools should offer counseling services, and students need to learn self-care techniques, such as mindfulness or journaling. Remember, a healthy mind is the foundation of achieving long-term goals.

The TV room at the south end of our house is like a black hole: It’s the place where things often end up if there’s no other place to put them, or if I can’t decide whether to throw them away. As such, it’s a land of perfectly serviceable cardboard boxes, old magazines saved for the recipes I will never try, shoes that are just about but not quite worn out, a wood stove I rarely light and other odds and ends.
Just the other night, I heard a scratching sound coming from the TV room. I went out to have a look, but of course there was no sound when I got there. Yet after I had gone to bed, it was loud enough to wake me.
The next morning at breakfast the scratching continued even as I entered the room, long enough for me to identify the source, which was the stovepipe leading from the wood stove. Ever so carefully, I approached and opened the stove’s front doors. There it was — a surprised, little squirrel, looking straight up at me.
I immediately shut the stove doors and considered what to do. I didn’t want to kill it, so I decided I would give it an easy escape route.
I closed the door to the kitchen and opened the outside door. It was a windy, freezing day, and the cold air immediately rushed in. I threw the stove doors open, stepped back and waited — but not for long. The squirrel jumped out of the stove, but it was upset and didn’t head outside. Instead, it tore through my magazines in piles, ran up the curtains, and then broke my collection of soda bottles, sending several crashing to the floor. The animal was in a complete panic, and all I could do was stand back and hope it would leave.
It finally dawned on me that I was probably the thing scaring it into a panic. So, I quickly left the room. When I returned it had gone. Job done.
All in all, two jobs were done that day. Not only did I evacuate a squirrel, but the animal did me a big favor: it made the TV room into more of a mess than it was before, to the point where I could stand it no longer. I made a great effort in making the room tidy. Finally, I had the clean, inviting space I had planned to have all along.
41. What does the author mean by describing the TV room as “a black hole”?
A. The author cannot find anything in the TV room except a hole.
B. The TV room contains various things that the author rarely uses.
C. The TV room is too dark to see things as clear as possible.

B. The author ignored the squirrel and left.
C. The author closed the stove’s front doors.
D. The author caught it without any hesitation.
43. What does the word “panic” mean in Para.5?
A. A state of excitement and joy B. A state of standing still without moving
C. A feeling of fear and anxiety D. A feeling of being embarrassed

A. The author was annoyed with the squirrel.
B. The author was upset about the squirrel’s leaving.
C. The author doesn’t like the squirrel.

45. What might the best title of the passage?

C
For years, the U.S. has experienced a shortage of registered nurses. The Bureau of Labor Statistics projects that while the number of nurses will increase by 19 percent by 2022, demand will grow faster than supply, and that there will be over one million unfilled nursing jobs by then.
So what’s the solution? Robots.
Japan is ahead of the curve when it comes to this trend. Toyohashi University of Technology has developed Terapio, a robotic medical cart that can make hospital rounds, deliver medications and oilier items, and retrieve (检索) records. It follows a specific individual, such as a doctor or nurse, who can use it to record and access patient data. This type of robot will likely be one of the first to be put into use in hospitals because it has fairly minimal patient contact.
Robots capable of social engagement help with loneliness as well as cognitive (认知) functioning, but the robot itself doesn’t have to engage directly — it can serve as an intermediary for human communication. Telepresence robots such as MantaroBot, Vgo, and Giraff can be controlled through a computer, smartphone, or tablet, allowing family members or doctors to remotely monitor patients or Skype them, often via a screen where the robot’s “face” would be. If you can’t get to the nursing home to visit grandma, you can use a telepresence robot to hang out with her. A 2016 study found that users had a “consistently positive attitude” about the Giraff robot’s ability to enhance communication and decrease feelings of loneliness.
A robot’s appearance affects its ability to successfully interact with humans, which is why the RIKEN-TRI Collaboration Center for Human-Interactive Robot Research decided to develop a robotic nurse that looks a huge teddy bear. RIBA (Robot for Interactive Body Assistance), also known as “Robear” can help patients into and out of wheelehairs and beds with its strong arms. On the less cute and more scary side there is Actroid F, which is so human-like that some patients may not know the difference. This conversational robot companion has cameras in its eyes, which allow it to track patients and use appropriate facial expressions and body language in its interactions. During a month-long hospital trial, researchers asked 70 patients how they felt being around the robot and “only three or four said they didn’t like having it around.”
It’s important to note that robotic nurses don’t decide courses of treatment or make diagnoses (though robot doctors and surgeons may not be far off). Instead, they perform routine and laborious tasks, freeing nurses up to attend to patients with immediate needs. This is one industry where it seems the interaction of robots will lend to collaboration, not replacement.
46. What does the author say about Japan?
A. It delivers the bet medication for the elderly.
B. It provides retraining for registered nurses.
C. It takes the lead in providing robotic care.
D. It sets the trend in future robotics technology.
47. What are telepresence robots designed to do?
A. Directly interact with patients to prevent them from feeling lonely.
B. Cater to the needs of patients for recovering their cognitive capacity.
C. Facilitate communication between patients and doctors or family members.
D. Closely monitor the patients’ movements and conditions around the clock.
48. What is one special feature of the robot Actroid F?
A. It uses body language even more effectively than words.
B. It operates quietly without patients realizing its presence.
C. It likes to engage in everyday conversations with patients.
D. It interacts with patients just like a human companion.
49. What is the attitude of the 70 patients towards the robotic nurses?
A. Almost all of them are in favor of it. B. They are indifferent to it.
C. They feel bored around them. D. They don’t like having it around.
50. What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A. Doctors and surgeons will soon be laid off.
B. Robots will assist nurses in their work.
C. The robotics industry will soon take off.
D. Cooperation will not replace completion.
D
It is widely acknowledged that happiness comes from within. However, how we perceive and interact with the world are important factors for happiness. But everything exists in a context, and this is a crucial component of everybody’s happiness. I still remember the beautiful plant I had in my flat as a student. Although I tended carefully to it, it was never happy. The problem was, no matter what I did, it was never going to be happy, for this plant longed for hot and damp environment, which my draughty Scottish flat was never going to provide. I could have blamed the plant or myself but, realistically, it needed a different context to make it happy.
Context is equally as important for humans. How we perceive our world is important, but if we start seeing this as everything, we start to place the blame of unhappiness and full responsibility for happiness on the individual. This is problematic. Yes we want to increase adaptability, so that we can deal with stressful situations. This is relevant in both personal and work situations. Telling somebody they need to cope better when their work load is unmanageable is unhelpful. The same applies in your personal life. Telling someone who faces daily bullying that they need to cope with it better to be happy suggests they are somehow to blame for the complex systemic and cultural factors that create stress, difficult emotions and unhappiness. It places the responsibility back on the individual, thereby creating even mere stress.
Many studies show how context is important to happiness: people who have access to green spaces have higher happiness levels; people who work in organizations with a safe and supportive culture feel and work better; people who experience discrimination or bullying have higher levels of unhappiness. If our context makes us feel safe and valued, we are less stressed and happier.
Of course, not all aspects of context can be changed easily. You may be trapped in a difficult work situation because you need money to repay your car loan. In such situations, it’s important to separate context from self. Bear in mind that the context is crucial for how you are feeling; seek support, talk things through and solve problems, if possible.
It is also important to think about the aspects of context that are in your control. Which elements get in the way of building your sandwich, distract you from it or create barriers to using it? Which elements make it easier for you to build your sandwich and support you in doing so?
51. Why did the author mention the plant he had as a student in the first paragraph?
A. To raise the readers’ interest in plants B. To share his experience with readers.
C. To conclude the importance of happiness. D. To explain the main topic of the passage.
52. What can we infer from the second paragraph?
A. Attaching too much importance to context may lead to more problems.
B. Increasing our adaptability can help us deal with various situations.
C. Placing the responsibility back on the individual creates more stress.
D. Perceiving our world connects personal situations with work ones.
53. In what context do people have higher happiness levels?
A. They have access to quiet and faraway places.
B. They work in a company with risky culture.
C. They experience racial discrimination and betrayal.
D They stay in a safe and encouraging environment.
54. If you are stuck in a difficult situation, what are you suggested to do?
A. Make great efforts to change the situation. B. Separate the situation from your family.
C. Turn to others for help and solve the problem. D. Keep a good state of mind and earn more money.
55. What is the passage mainly talked about?
A. Interacting with the world increases everybody’s happiness.
B. Context plays an extremely important role in everybody’s happiness.
C. Happiness comes from our perceiving the surroundings and ourselves.
D. Thinking about the aspects of context that are in your control is crucial.

Eleven-year-old Ruby Kate has long been close to older folks. Her mother, Amanda Chitsey, works at nursing homes in northwest Arkansas, and Ruby Kate often goes with her in the summer. “I’ve never found them scary at all, so I’m able to just go up to them and ask if they need anything,” she says.
Last May, Ruby Kate noticed a resident named Pearl staring out a window. She seemed sad. “What are you looking at?” Ruby Kate asked. Pearl said she was watching her dog being led away by his new owner after a visit. Pearl didn’t know when she would see her dog again.
Ruby Kate and Amanda asked around and discovered that the nursing home didn’t allow residents to have dogs and Pearl couldn’t afford to pay anyone to look after hers. The Chitseys also learned that many nursing home residents are unable to afford even the smallest luxuries. So Ruby Kate decided to do something about it.
She started by asking residents what three things they wanted most in the world. “That’s a lot simpler than going, ‘Hey, what do you want?’” she explains. “They can understand you better.” Amanda worried that people would ask for cars and other things an 11-year-old wouldn’t be able to provide. Instead, they asked for chocolate bars, McDonald’s fries, pants that fit properly, and even just a prayer.
“It broke me as a human,” Amanda says. “We left the nursing home that day and went straight to a store and bought as many items as we could.” Using their own money, the Chitseys granted the wishes of about 100 people in three months.
Then they started asking for donations, set up a GoFundMe page, Three Wishes for Ruby’s Residents, and raised more than $250,000 in five months. One of their new goals is to set up a communal laptop in one nursing home in each state.Ruby Kate doesn’t plan to stop there. “I consider kindness to be my hobby,” she says, “and I’m very good at it.”
56. What makes Ruby Kate have a close relationship with older people? (No more than 10 words)
57. Why was Pearl’s dog taken away from her? (No more than 15 words)
58. What are paragraphs 4 and 5 mainly about? (No more than 10 words)
