Again, there was a terrible sound of lightning. He tried to focus on his book, but then, the sudden sound of the doorbell (门铃) stopped him. It was only 3: 10 p. m. , and his parents usually came back at 6: 00 p. m. It couldn’t be his parents. The doorbell sounded again. “Who’s there?” he shouted. There was no answer. He remembered his parents telling him not to open the door without knowing who it is.
“Should I answer it?” thought Karthik. He decided to prepare himself for a bad experience. He went into his room and came out with a baseball bat. He shouted once again, “Who’s at the door?” There was still no answer.
Just as he got more scared and didn’t know what to do, there came a loud voice. “Karthik! Karthik! Why don’t you open the door?”
“Dad!” Karthik shouted happily and rushed forward to open the door.

When you wake up on the first day of your holiday, you enjoy a delicious breakfast and then take a walk in the park. You surely feel happy and relaxed. But by the late afternoon, you might start to feel bored! If this happens to you, don’t worry. You’re not the only one. Having too much free time isn’t always great. So, how much free time is the best for our happiness?
Researchers (研究者) wanted to find the answer. They asked thousands of people questions. They wrote down how people spent their time and how happy they were. After studying all the information, the researchers found that less than two hours of free time a day isn’t enough to make people happy. People with less than two hours of free time usually feel stressed (有压力的). That’s because they are too busy working to enjoy themselves.
It’s true that being too busy makes people less happy. Some might think that more free time is better. But here’s a surprise: having a lot of free time doesn’t always make us happy. People feel good when they finish things. But if they have more than five hours of free time a day, they can’t get this happy feeling. So, ★ .
In fact, what really matters is how we spend our free time. If we do active (积极的) things like playing team sports, five or more hours of free time a day can keep us happy or even make us happier. But if we just sit in our room watching TV, playing video games by ourselves, or doing nothing interesting for five or more hours, we certainly won’t feel happy.
36 What’s the main function (功能) of paragraph 1?
A. To list holiday activities. B. To lead in the topic.
C. To give readers advice. D. To give research results.
37. The underlined word “they” in paragraph 2 means ________.
A. people with enough free time B. the researchers who did the study
C. the people who took part in the study D. people with less than two hours of free time
38. What did the researchers find about free time?
A. Free time makes people bored.
B. More free time brings more happiness.
C. Too much free time can also bring problems.
D. Less than two hours of free time a day is enough.
39. Which of the following can be put in ________?
A. are you feeling happy or not? B. less free time makes us happier
C. too much free time isn’t good, either. D. that’s why we need to work much harder.
40. What picture shows the right way to spend free time actively?
A. B. C. D.
【答案】36. B 37. D 38. C 39. C 40. A

推理判断题。根据第一段内容可知,本段描述了假期第一天人们从开心放松到可能感到无聊的经历,然后提出“多少空闲时间对我们的幸福最好”的问题,这是为了引出文章的主题。故选B。
【37题详解】
词句猜测题。根据“People with less than two hours of free time usually feel stressed. That’s because they are too busy working to enjoy themselves.”可知,闲暇时间不足两小时的人通常会感到有压力。这是因为“他们”工作太忙,无暇享受生活。此处“they”指闲暇时间不足两小时的人。故选D。
【38题详解】
细节理解题。根据“But here’s a surprise: having a lot of free time doesn’t always make us happy. People feel good when they finish things. But if they have more than five hours of free time a day, they can’t get this happy feeling.”可知,拥有大量空闲时间并不总能让我们感到快乐。人们在完成任务时会感觉良好。但如果他们每天有超过五个小时的空闲时间,就无法获得这种愉悦感。因此选项C“太多的空闲时间也会带来问题。”符合题意。故选C。
【39题详解】
推理判断题。根据“But here’s a surprise: having a lot of free time doesn’t always make us happy. People feel good when they finish things. But if they have more than five hours of free time a day, they can’t get this happy feeling. So...”可知,句中表述拥有大量空闲时间并不总能让我们感到快乐。人们在完成任务时会感觉良好。但如果他们每天有超过五个小时的空闲时间,也无法获得这种愉悦感。此处应该是说明拥有太多空余时间如何的结论,选项C“太多空闲时间也不好”符合语境。故选C。
【40题详解】
细节理解题。根据“If we do active things like playing team sports, five or more hours of free time a day can keep us happy or even make us happier. But if we just sit in our room watching TV, playing video games by ourselves, or doing nothing interesting for five or more hours, we certainly won’t feel happy.”可知,如果我们做一些积极的事情,比如参加团队运动,那么一天有五个小时或更长的闲暇时间可以让我们保持快乐,甚至让我们更快乐。选项A图片“与朋友一起打篮球”符合题意。故选A。

【41题详解】
句意:现在是美国纽约早上7点。时间还早,但这座城市正变得繁忙起来!根据空前的“is”以及语境可知,此处表示动作正在进行,应用现在进行时,其结构为“be + 现在分词”,get的现在分词是getting。故填getting。
【42题详解】
句意:许多人正冲向地铁。他们要去上班。结合语境可知,此处描述的是此时此刻正在发生的动作,应用现在进行时,主语“Many people”是复数,be动词用are,rush的现在分词是rushing。故填are rushing。

“You’re home by yourself today! “When Karthik heard his parents say this, he was excited at first. He thought about all the fun things he could do.
But soon, the weather turned bad. It rained heavily, and there was lightning too. This scared him a little, so he took out his favorite book, Harry Potter, from the bookshelf.
Again, there was a terrible sound of lightning. He tried to focus on his book, but then, the sudden sound of the doorbell (门铃) stopped him. It was only 3: 10 p. m. , and his parents usually came back at 6: 00 p. m. It couldn’t be his parents. The doorbell sounded again. “Who’s there?” he shouted. There was no answer. He remembered his parents telling him not to open the door without knowing who it is.
“Should I answer it?” thought Karthik. He decided to prepare himself for a bad experience. He went into his room and came out with a baseball bat. He shouted once again, “Who’s at the door?” There was still no answer.
Just as he got more scared and didn’t know what to do, there came a loud voice. “Karthik! Karthik! Why don’t you open the door?”
“Dad!” Karthik shouted happily and rushed forward to open the door.

When you wake up on the first day of your holiday, you enjoy a delicious breakfast and then take a walk in the park. You surely feel happy and relaxed. But by the late afternoon, you might start to feel bored! If this happens to you, don’t worry. You’re not the only one. Having too much free time isn’t always great. So, how much free time is the best for our happiness?
Researchers (研究者) wanted to find the answer. They asked thousands of people questions. They wrote down how people spent their time and how happy they were. After studying all the information, the researchers found that less than two hours of free time a day isn’t enough to make people happy. People with less than two hours of free time usually feel stressed (有压力的). That’s because they are too busy working to enjoy themselves.
It’s true that being too busy makes people less happy. Some might think that more free time is better. But here’s a surprise: having a lot of free time doesn’t always make us happy. People feel good when they finish things. But if they have more than five hours of free time a day, they can’t get this happy feeling. So, ★ .
In fact, what really matters is how we spend our free time. If we do active (积极的) things like playing team sports, five or more hours of free time a day can keep us happy or even make us happier. But if we just sit in our room watching TV, playing video games by ourselves, or doing nothing interesting for five or more hours, we certainly won’t feel happy.
36. What’s the main function (功能) of paragraph 1?
A. To list holiday activities. B. To lead in the topic.
C. To give readers advice. D. To give research results.
37. The underlined word “they” in paragraph 2 means ________.
A. people with enough free time B. the researchers who did the study
C. the people who took part in the study D. people with less than two hours of free time
38. What did the researchers find about free time?
A. Free time makes people bored.
B. More free time brings more happiness.
C. Too much free time can also bring problems.
D. Less than two hours of free time a day is enough.
39. Which of the following can be put in ________?
A. are you feeling happy or not? B. less free time makes us happier
C. too much free time isn’t good, either. D. that’s why we need to work much harder.
40. What picture shows the right way to spend free time actively?
