It should be near the bus stop or subway. M: What about the size? W: Well, a two-bedroom place is OK. M: It won’t be expensive. What kind of price do you think we can afford? W: Oh, about six hundred dollars. It doesn’t have to be equipped with furniture. We have our own furniture. The apartment should not be in the city center. I like quietness. M: Yeah, I agree. I’d like the apartment to be near a park, so we can go running outdoors as usual. W: Well, we can look for the information on the Internet or call Lily. She knows a lot about houses.

Tonya and her family were walking along the beach and trying to help pick up some rubbish when she discovered a glass bottle with a damp note inside. She suspected it was a trick. But she kept the bottle, thinking it might look good on her bookcase. She put it in her oven to dry out the paper note. Later, she noticed faint handwriting on the note, with a date of 12 June 1886 and the name of the ship, Paula. It also gave the geographical position of the ship, which had been sailing in the Indian Ocean nearly 600 miles away. A little more detective work online and some help from the Museum of Western Australia help to confirm the find was real. The ship had been traveling from Cardiff to Indonesia. The bottle would have been  thrown overboard by the crew as part of an experiment by the German Naval Observatory to track global ocean currents. The note instructed the finder to send it back to Hamburg. The bottle will however stay in Australia and go on display in the museum in Perth. 第二部分 阅读（共两节，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 At the Canadian Museum of Nature, getting involved is only natural! Inspire visitors and school groups with special exhibitions, permanent exhibitions, movies and galleries in the museum. Join our team of Nature Volunteers to learn about and protect natural history. What We Look for in a Volunteer √Although some volunteers have a specialized knowledge of natural history, a willingness to learn is more important than qualifications. √We ask volunteers to commit a half day a week for three to four months, minimum. Commitment to the schedule is beneficial for all. √The museum operates in English and French. We are always looking for volunteers speaking both languages, but this is not a requirement for most positions.

Volunteer Opportunities School Programs Youth Opportunities Volunteers aged:18 and above will support our staff in providing workshops for school groups in the museum galleries (during the school year) and play a key role during the breakout activities, assisting students in: their explorations and discoveries. Applicants should be comfortable working with children in a busy environment.

D．Teach children in the museum. 【答案】21．B 22．D 23．A 【解析】这是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了加拿大自然博物馆招募志愿者的要求、志愿者福利及志愿者的工作内容。 21．细节理解题。根据“What We Look for in a Volunteer”部分关键句“We ask volunteers to commit a half day a week for three to four months, minimum. (我们要求志愿者每周至少投入半天时间，持续三到四个月)”可知，志愿者每周至少投入半天时间，持续三到四个月。由此可知，那些只有两个月假期的人被取消了申请该职位的资格。故选B项。 22．细节理解题。根据“Benefits of Volunteering”部分关键句“Visit all parts of the museum without any charge. (免费参观博物馆的各个部分)”可知，志愿者可以免费参观博物馆的所有部分。故选D项。 23．细节理解题。根据“School Programs”部分关键句“Volunteers aged:18 and above will support our staff in providing workshops for school groups in the museum galleries (during the school year) and play a key role during the breakout activities, assisting students in: their explorations and discoveries. (年龄：18岁及以上的志愿者将支持我们的工作人员在博物馆画廊（学年期间）为学校团体提供讲习班，并在分组活动中发挥关键作用，协助学生进行探索和发现)”可知，学校项目的志愿者应该帮助举办讲习班。故选A项。 B Think about all those successful people in your life that you know. How many of them build their success overnight? How many of them didn’t care about their goals? How many of them gave up after the first failure? Most of the people we know to be successful were very persistent and devoted to their dreams. In other words, they work hard towards their dreams and keep trying, even if their goals aren’t easy to achieve. They didn’t give up just because they faced barriers and problems. They might even get encouraged by them. Persistence really matters. It can help build your character. Nothing builds your character more than overcoming failures and problems in life. You get tougher and can handle anything life might throw at you. Each time you win your urge to give up, you make your mind and personality a bit stronger. Each of those wins will build your character to be healthier and to handle more stress. When you are committed to something, you are willing to learn what it takes to be successful. You will be required to learn new skills and solve new kinds of problems. When you are persistent about your goals, you will have to learn new ways of doing things. Sometimes you might notice that to solve a particular problem, you need to learn more about it. When you study more about the topic, you discover new exciting subtopics to know about. As you think more in-depth into that problem, you will be exposed to new ideas and thoughts. Persistence is the driver behind your ability to learn what you need to know. When you keep building your persistence and willpower, you will face many failures. Things don’t always end up as you have planned. With persistence, you will learn how to solve those problems and get back up after a failure. You will learn that failure is not the end of the world. Life goes on, and so can you. Each time you decide to overcome your failure, you will learn something new, and you will be a bit stronger than before. Those changes won’t show daily, but slowly they will start to stack up. If you look back and analyze your process, you will discover that you handle the stressful situation more efficiently, and after failures, you won’t go into despair. You rather know how to handle each failure as you have accumulated experiences from them and handle challenging situations. Persistence is a basic quality to develop in life because it is closely related to personal development and improvement. As you already know, it is not easy, but it is worthy of your effort. 24．The underlined word “them” in Paragraph refers to________. A．dreams B．successful men C．most of the people D．barriers and problems 25．What does Paragraph 4 mainly talk about? A．Persistence builds your character. B．Persistence teaches you how to manage failures. C．Persistence improves your skills and abilities. D．Persistence helps you handle a stressful situation. 26．What can be inferred from the passage? A．People with persistence seldom suffer from failures. B．Learning new skills will make you more persistent. C．Persistent people are easier to get out of a bad mood. D．Successful people usually have stronger personalities. 27．The author writes the passage to__________. A．explain the importance of being persistent B．analyze the character of successful people C．offer some suggestions about being persistent D．show how to deal with problems and face failures 【答案】24．D 25．C 26．D 27．A 【解析】这是一篇议论文。文章主要论述了坚持的重要性，指出坚持可以塑造人的性格、提高技能和能力，让人越来越坚强。指出坚持是人生中需要发展的基本素质，因为它与个人的发展和提高密切相关。 24．词义猜测题。根据画线词上文“They didn’t give up just because they faced barriers and problems. They might even get encouraged by”可知，成功的人不会因为遇到障碍和问题就放弃。他们甚至可能受到这些障碍和问题的鼓励，即画线词指的是“障碍和问题”。故选D。 25．主旨大意题。根据第四段“When you are committed to something, you are willing to learn what it takes to be successful. You will be required to learn new skills and solve new kinds of problems. When you are persistent about your goals, you will have to learn new ways of doing things. Sometimes you might notice that to solve a particular problem, you need to learn more about it. When you study more about the topic, you discover new exciting subtopics to know about. As you think more in-depth into that problem, you will be exposed to new ideas and thoughts. Persistence is the driver behind your ability to learn what you need to know.(当你致力于某件事的时候，你就会愿意学习如何才能成功。你将被要求学习新的技能和解决新的问题。当你坚持你的目标，你将不得不学习新的做事方法。有时你可能会注意到，要解决某个特定的问题，你需要更多地了解它。当你对某个话题研究得更多时，你会发现新的令人兴奋的子话题。随着你对这个问题思考得越来越深入，你会接触到新的想法和想法。坚持是你学习所需知识能力背后的驱动力)”可知，第四段主要讲了坚持可以提高你的技能和能力。故选C。 26．推理判断题。根据第二段“Most of the people we know to be successful were very persistent and devoted to their dreams. In other words, they work hard towards their dreams and keep trying, even if their goals aren’t easy to achieve. They didn’t give up just because they faced barriers and problems. They might even get encouraged by them.(我们所知道的大多数成功的人都非常执着，致力于他们的梦想。换句话说，他们努力实现自己的梦想，不断努力，即使他们的目标不容易实现。 他们不会因为遇到障碍和问题就放弃。他们甚至可能受到这些障碍和问题的鼓励)”和第三段“Persistence really matters. It can help build your character. Nothing builds your character more than overcoming failures and problems in life. You get tougher and can handle anything life might throw at you. Each time you win your urge  to give up, you make your mind and personality a bit stronger. Each of those wins will build your character to be healthier and to handle more stress.（坚持真的很重要。它可以帮助你塑造性格。没有什么比克服生活中的失败和问题更能塑造你的性格了。你会变得更坚强，能够应对生活中可能发生的任何事情。每次你战胜了放弃的冲动，你的决心和性格都会变得更坚强一些。每一次成功都会塑造你的性格，让你更健康，更能应对压力。）”可推知，成功的人通常有更坚强的个性。故选D。 27．推理判断题。根据最后一段“Persistence is a basic quality to develop in life because it is closely related to personal development and improvement. As you already know, it is not easy, but it is worthy of your effort.(坚持是人生中需要发展的基本素质，因为它与个人的发展和提高密切相关。正如你已经知道的，这并不容易，但它值得你的努力)”结合文章主要论述了坚持的重要性，指出坚持可以塑造人的性格、提高技能和能力，让人越来越坚强。指出坚持是人生中需要发展的基本素质，因为它与个人的发展和提高密切相关。可推知，作者写这篇文章是为了解释坚持的重要性。故选A。 C Shakespeare has rightly said, “A light heart lives long.” There is no greater thing than cheerfulness in the daily life and our cheer can be expressed through a smile or a laugh. The saying “Laughter is the best medicine” has deep meanings. Many scientists have stressed the importance of laughter, which can lead a healthy life. In ancient times, most Emperors and Kings had a clown to make them laugh. This improved the atmosphere and helped people to come closer. Almost every comedy has a character to make people laugh. Funny TV plays use recorded sounds of laughter at the proper place. It is a well­known fact that health and cheerfulness influence each other. Doctors and psychologists all agree that patients can actually benefit from laughter. Those who see the bright side of life and remain happy are unlikely to go down with stress­related problems. A good laugh is also a useful tool in the workplace. Nervousness is unavoidable in business, but humor is an unexpected surprise that can help people better deal with the nervousness. Researchers have found that the more stress people are under, the more they are ready to laugh. A good laugh is looked upon as an encouraging tool. After laughing, you can begin a new thought process; it helps to set the mind in a different way. Many cities in India have laughter clubs where people get together in the morning for laughing. There are over 200 such clubs in India, which were started in Mumbai. All kinds of fitness exercise, along with laughter skills, are combined into the program. This has become known as the laughter treatment. Until now, many sick people have benefited from it. Making people laugh is an art and can be cultivated. Collect jokes, funny stories and humorous sayings and use them properly. Build a humor collection — buy books by P. G Wodehouse or anyone else who makes you keep laughing. Watch comedy plays when you are down in life. 28．How does a good laugh help people in the workplace? A．It keeps people healthy. B．It helps people have creative ideas. C．It helps people make more money. D．It frees people from their worries. 29．What can laughter clubs do for people? A．They can make people confident. B．They can offer people suitable jobs. C．They can help people recover from illness. D．They can provide opportunities for people to make friends. 30．What does the underlined word “cultivated” in the last paragraph probably mean? A．Developed. B．Enjoyed. C．Realized. D．Taught. 31．What’s the author’s purpose of writing the text? A．To state laughter leads to health. B．To show the importance of laughter. C．To prove laughter helps us work better. D．To introduce some ways to make us laugh. 【答案】28．B 29．C 30．A 31．B 【解析】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了笑的作用，例如：调节氛围，缓解人们的紧张，激发人们的创造性思维，帮助人们恢复健康等，突出了笑的重要性。 28．推理判断题。根据第四段中的“A good laugh is also a useful tool in the workplace. Nervousness is unavoidable in business, but humor is an unexpected surprise that can help people better deal with the nervousness…A good laugh is looked upon as an encouraging tool. After laughing, you can begin a new thought process; it helps to set the mind in a different way.”可知，开怀大笑在工作场合也是一种有用的工具。 紧张在工作中是不可避免的，可以帮助人们更好地应对紧张。开怀大笑被认为是一种鼓舞人心的工具。笑过后，你可以开始一个新的思考过程；它有助于以一种不同的方式设置思维。由此推知，笑可以帮助人们产生创造性的想法。故选B。 29．细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中的“Many cities in India have laughter clubs where people get together in the morning for laughing. There are over 200 such clubs in India, which were started in Mumbai. All kinds of fitness exercise, along with laughter skills, are combined into the program. This has become known as the laughter treatment. Until now, many sick people have benefited from it.”可知，在印度的200多个欢笑俱乐部里，人们在早上聚在一起大笑。里面有各种各样的健身运动，还有笑的技巧，都被结合到该项目中。这被称为“笑疗法”。到目前为止，许多病人已经从中受益。由此可知，欢笑俱乐部帮助病人恢复健康。故选C。 30．词义猜测题。根据最后一段中的“Collect jokes, funny stories and humorous sayings and use them properly. Build a humor collection — buy books by P. G Wodehouse or anyone else who makes you keep laughing. Watch comedy plays when you are down in life”可知，收集笑话、趣闻轶事和幽默语录，并适当运用。建立一个幽默的收藏—购买 P. G Wodehouse或任何让你不断大笑的人的书。生活失意时，看喜剧。这些都是培养笑的艺术的一些方式。因此，划线句子表达的意思应为：笑是一种艺术，它是可以“培养”的。划线词的意思应为“培养”。故选A。 31．推理判断题。文章介绍了笑在不同领域里的作用，例如：调节氛围，缓解人们的紧张，激发人们的创造性思维，帮助人们恢复健康等。由此推知，这篇文章是为了介绍笑的重要性。故选B。 D There isn’t any doubt that positive thinking is valuable after you find out you have cancer. But will positive thoughts help the cancer go away? There have been a number of studies on this subject, but none of the studies say that positive thinking is a factor (因素) in helping cancer go away, or that negative feelings can make cancer worse. So, is there a reason to have a positive attitude? Of course there is.While I understand the danger of my illness, I choose not to focus on statistics(数据统计). I always imagine myself as being among the smaller group of patients who survive. Why do I do that? So I can sleep well; so I can plan a trip for two days from now; so I have a reason to begin writing another book with the expectation that I’ll finish it; so my husband and I can enjoy lunch out; so I can reach out to someone else who’s having a difficult time and offer them encouragement. A positive attitude can also help family members feel better so they can contribute to a more loving family environment. Most cancer patients, as well as their family members, know all too well how dangerous cancer can be. It’s difficult to carry on when patients receive bad news. But a positive attitude helps me want to do things that I know are beneficial(有益的) to my health, and helps me through the thinning hair, tiredness and low blood counts which are the side effects(副作用) of my treatment(治疗). So, I prefer to stay happy and positive. I do my best not to think too much about all the hospital visits, and I try not to panic (惊慌) if I feel any pain. Instead, I seek joy as much as I can, and because I am seeking joy, I find joy. Being positive might not save you from cancer, but I can almost guarantee(保证) you that if you are positive, you will find meaning in your life, as well as happiness in every day that you live. 32．According to the first two paragraphs, studies show that _________. A．positive thinking can save patients from cancer B．negative thinking is very likely to make cancer worse C．positive thinking cannot help patients get rid of cancer D．one’s attitude has a direct effect on cancer 33．After the author found out she had cancer, ______. A．she was sure she would survive B．she tried to enjoy her life and help others C．she refused to go through painful treatment D．she was quite troubled by the seriousness of her illness 34．It can be concluded from the author’s experiences that positive thinking ______. A．makes cancer treatment less painful for patients B．makes it much easier for people to accept bad news C．prepares family members for what may happen next D．helps create a good environment for patients 35．The author wrote this article mainly to ______. A．tell patients how to fight against illness B．explain the danger of cancer to readers C．stress the importance of a positive attitude D．help readers find meaning and happiness in life 【答案】32．C 33．B 34．D 35．C 【解析】本文是一篇记叙文。文章通过作者亲身经历对抗癌症的故事，作者主要强调了积极态度的重要性，告诉人们积极的态度会带来快乐。 32．细节理解题。根据第一、二段，特别是第二段中There have been a number of studies on this subject, but none of the studies say that positive thinking is a factor (因素) in helping cancer go away, or that negative feelings can make cancer worse.可知，根据前两段，研究表明积极的思考不能帮助病人摆脱癌症。故选C。 33．推理判断题。根据第三段中so I can plan a trip for two days from now; so I have a reason to begin writing another book with the expectation that I’ll finish it; so my husband and I can enjoy lunch out; so I can reach out to someone else who’s having a difficult time and offer them encouragement.可知，在作者发现她患了癌症之后，她努力享受她的生活并帮助他人。故选B。 34．推理判断题。根据第三段第一句A positive attitude can also help family members feel better so they can contribute to a more loving family environment.可知，从作者的经验可以总结出积极的思考有助于为病人创造一个良好的环境。故选D。 35．目的意图题。纵观全文，尤其是最后一段中Being positive might not save you from cancer, but I can almost guarantee(保证) you that if you are positive, you will find meaning in your life, as well as happiness in every day that you live.可知，作者写这篇文章主要是为了强调积极态度的重要性。故选C。 【点睛】做推理判断题时，对于暗含在文章中的人物的行为动机、事件的因果关系及作者未言明的倾向、意图、态度、观点等要进行合乎逻辑的判断、推理、分析，进一步增强理解能力，抓住材料实质性的东西。本题第4小题，根据最后一段中Being positive might not save you from cancer, but I can almost guarantee(保证) you that if you are positive, you will find meaning in your life, as well as happiness in every day that you live.可知，作者写这篇文章主要是为了强调积极态度的重要性。故选C。 第二节（共5小题：每小题2. 5分, 满分12. 5分） 阅读下面短文, 从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Humans are born and wired to compete with one another. Influencers compare how many “likes” they have on social media. Millionaires envy billionaires. Famous actors complain about the Oscar or Emmy that should have been theirs. 36 On the contrary, if left unmanaged it can create misery (不幸) for ourselves and others, at least when it comes to happiness and longevity (长寿). This conclusion comes from research conducted on Olympic athletes. In a 1995 study, scholars studied the emotional reactions of silver and bronze medalists in the 1992 Summer Olympic Games. They examined the medalists both immediately after their events and later on the awards podium (领奖台). 37 More recent research has looked at the life span (寿命) of all three medalist categories. A 2018 study tracked the average longevity of those representing the U. S. in the Olympic Games from 1904 to 1936. The results showed that the athletes whose best performance was silver lived to 72. Gold medalists beat this by a solid (不间断的) four years, living to 76. But first prize went to the bronze medalists, who lived to 78. The study had a handy explanation: “ 38 ” In other words, silver medalists see themselves as the first loser. This is because they look up to the top step and compare themselves only with the gold medalists while the bronze winners compare themselves favourably with all the others who never made it onto the podium at all. This hypothesis (假设) is based on a large body of literature (文献) showing the difference between upward and downward social comparison. When we compare ourselves with those who have more money, power, or achievements, we often feel like losers. 39 The worldly happiness strategy of striving for gold every day is foolish. More likely, you will spend most of your time feeling like a silver medalist. 40 It would be much more advisable, then, to aim for healthy competition in which you do your best without expectation of being the absolute winner. The only person to whom you will have to compare yourself is you. A．Dissatisfactory competition results may negatively influence health.

Influencers compare how many “likes” they have on social media. Millionaires envy billionaires. Famous actors complain about the Oscar or Emmy that should have been theirs. (人类生来就具有相互竞争的天性。网红们比较自己在社交媒体上获得了多少“赞”。百万富翁羡慕亿万富翁。著名演员抱怨本应属于他们的奥斯卡或艾美奖。)”以及下文“On the contrary, if left unmanaged it can create misery (不幸) for ourselves and others, at least when it comes to happiness and longevity (长寿). (相反，如果不加以管理，它至少会在幸福和长寿方面给自己和他人带来不幸。)”可知，上文描述了人类天生的竞争心态，以及这种心态在不同人群中的表现，下文转折指出竞争心态如果不加以管理会带来不幸，E选项“Although the competitive spirit may be as natural as breathing air, it does not always lead to human flourishing (兴盛). (尽管竞争精神可能像呼吸空气一样自然，但它并不总是导致人类的繁荣兴盛)”既承接了上文关于竞争心态的描述，又引出了下文关于竞争心态可能带来的不幸的讨论，与上下文逻辑一致。故选E项。 37．根据上文“In a 1995 study, scholars studied the emotional reactions of silver and bronze medalists in the 1992 Summer Olympic Games. They examined the medalists both immediately after their events and later on the awards podium (领奖台). (在1995年的一项研究中，学者们研究了1992年夏季奥运会银牌和铜牌获得者的情绪反应。他们观察了奖牌获得者在比赛结束后和后来在领奖台上的情绪反应。)”以及下文“More recent research has looked at the life span (寿命) of all three medalist categories. (最近的研究则观察了所有三类奖牌获得者的寿命)”可知，上文描述了一项关于奥运奖牌获得者情绪反应的研究，下文引出了另一项关于奖牌获得者寿命的研究，C选项“It is discovered that the bronze winners appeared happier on average than the silver medalists. (研究发现，铜牌获得者平均比银牌获得者更快乐)”既承接了上文关于奖牌获得者情绪反应的研究，又与下文关于奖牌获得者寿命的研究形成了对比和补充。故选C项。 38．根据上文“The study had a handy explanation: (这项研究有一个简便的解释：)”以及下文“In other words, silver medalists see themselves as the first loser. This is because they look up to the top step and compare themselves only with the gold medalists while the bronze winners compare themselves favourably with all the others who never made it onto the podium at all. (换句话说，银牌获得者认为自己是最先失败的人。这是因为他们仰望最高台阶，只与金牌获得者比较，而铜牌获得者则将自己与所有从未登上领奖台的人进行比较，从而对自己感觉良好)”可知，上文引出了研究对奖牌获得者情绪反应和寿命差异的解释，下文详细解释了银牌和铜牌获得者情绪反应差异的原因，A选项“Dissatisfactory competition results may negatively influence health. (不满意的竞争结果可能对健康产生负面影响。)”概括了研究对奖牌获得者情绪反应和寿命差异的解释，即不满意的竞争结果可能对健康产生负面影响。故选A项。 39．根据上文“This hypothesis (假设) is based on a large body of literature (文献) showing the difference between upward and downward social comparison. When we compare ourselves with those who have more money, power, or achievements, we often feel like losers. (这个假设是基于大量文献，这些文献显示了向上社会比较和向下社会比较之间的差异。当我们与那些拥有更多金钱、权力或成就的人比较时，我们常常觉得自己是失败者)”以及下文“The worldly happiness strategy of striving for gold every day is foolish. (每天追求金牌的世俗幸福策略是愚蠢的)”可知，上文介绍了向上社会比较和向下社会比较的概念，以及向上社会比较可能带来的负面影响，下文对追求金牌（即向上社会比较)的策略提出了批评，B选项“In contrast, downward comparison makes people feel better about themselves, and thus happier. (相比之下，向下比较会让人对自己感觉更好，从而更快乐。)”，既承接了上文关于向上社会比较和向下社会比较的讨论，又引出了下文对追求金牌策略的批评，强调了向下社会比较的积极影响。故选B项。 40．根据上文“The worldly happiness strategy of striving for gold every day is foolish. More likely, you will spend most of your time feeling like a silver medalist. (每天追求金牌的世俗幸福策略是愚蠢的。更有可能的是，你会大部分时间都感觉自己像是一个银牌获得者。)”以及下文“It would be much more advisable, then, to aim for healthy competition in which you do your best without expectation of being the absolute winner. The only person to whom you will have to compare yourself is you. (因此，更明智的做法是追求健康的竞争，在这种竞争中，你尽自己最大的努力，而不期望成为绝对的赢家。你唯一需要比较的人就是你自己)”可知，上文批评了追求金牌的策略，并指出这种策略可能让人大部分时间都感觉自己像是一个失败者，下文提出了关于健康竞争的建议，F选项“You may be always longing, pinning your hope on a single outcome, but eventually ending up with failure and disappointment. (你可能总是渴望，把你的希望寄托在一个单一的结果上，但最终却以失败和失望告终)”既承接了上文关于追求金牌策略可能带来的负面影响的讨论，又引出了下文关于健康竞争的建议，强调了过度追求单一结果可能带来的失败和失望。故选F项。 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题：每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文, 从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Everyone has things about their life that they would like to change. As the early 6th-century Roman philosopher Boethius put it, “One has abundant riches, but is 41 by his ignoble (不光彩的) birth. Another is conspicuous (引人注目的) for his nobility, but through the embarrassments of poverty would prefer to be little known. A third, in 42 of both, regrets the loneliness of an unwedded life. ” Think about the 43 of your stress. For example, maybe you are struggling to find a fulfilling job. Or maybe you are not getting much out of your friendships. To improve the situation, you might 44 moving, getting a new job and meeting new people. However, these solutions might be impractical at this point in your life. And in any case, you might also 45 that your problems will continue to follow you regardless of where you go, because, well, you can’t move away from you. Now I am going to tell you a little secret. Changing how you feel can actually be much easier to accomplish than changing your 46 reality, even if it seems unnatural. Your emotions can seem like they are out of your control even at the best of times, and even more so during a 47 . This can be blamed in part on biology. Negative emotions such as anger and fear stimulate the amygdala (杏仁体), which increases one’s awareness of 48 and improves one’s ability to recognize and avoid danger. This makes good 49 sense: Half a million years ago, taking time to manage your emotions would have made you a tiger’s lunch. In the modern world, you no longer need your amygdala to help you outrun the tiger. 50 , you use it to handle the nonlethal (非致命的) problems that annoy you all day long. And 51 stress often leads to maladaptive coping strategies in modern life. Such strategies not only fail to provide long-term relief but also 52 our problems by increasing the frequency of our feelings of depression and anxiety. When these kinds of coping mechanisms fail to help us, we can easily find ourselves 53 the prospect of trying to manage our negative emotions, which may lead us to try to change our outside world. In fact, Boethius wrote the words I quoted above from a prison cell while awaiting execution (处决). Boethius could not change his circumstances, but he could and did change his 54 toward them. “So true is it that nothing is wretched (不愉快的), but thinking makes it so,” he wrote. To take this to heart and act on it is one of the greatest secrets to 55 well-being, but it does not have to be a secret. If Boethius could do it, so can you. 41．A．oppressed B．reflected C．shamed D．shocked 42．A．charge B．favour C．possession D．search 43．A．impact B．level C．source D．type 44．A．consider B．delay C．report D．risk 45．A．prove B．remember C．stress D．suspect 46．A．physical B．verbal C．virtual D．visual 47．A．campaign B．ceremony C．crisis D．match 48．A．details B．extremes C．manners D．threats 49．A．academic B．evolutionary C．mathematical D．medical 50．A．Instead B．Meanwhile’ C．Otherwise D．Therefore 51．A．conditional B．persistent C．temporary D．unexpected 52．A．address B．demonstrate C．simplify D．worsen 53．A．breaking away from B．coming up with C．giving way to D．looking forward to 54．A．attitude B．instinct C．judgment D．observation 55．A．adopted B．increased C．qualified D．shortsighted 【答案】 41．C 42．C 43．C 44．A 45．D 46．A 47．C 48．D 49．B 50．A 51．B 52．D 53．C 54．A 55．B 【解析】这是一篇说明文。文章借波伊提乌的话指出人各有烦恼，说明改变感受比改变现实容易，解释情绪失控的生物原因，强调改变对处境的态度是提升幸福感的秘诀。 41．考查动词词义辨析。句意：正如6世纪早期的罗马哲学家波提尤斯所说：“一个人拥有丰富的财富，却因出身卑微而感到羞愧。”A. oppressed压迫；B. reflected反思；C. shamed羞辱；D. shocked使震惊。根据后文“by his ignoble birth”指富人因出身卑微而羞愧，“shamed”（使羞愧）符合 “ignoble birth”（卑微出身）带来的负面感受，故选C。 42．考查名词词义辨析。句意：第三个人同时拥有这两样东西，却对未婚生活所带来的孤独感感到遗憾。A. charge负责；B. favour帮助；C. possession拥有；D. search搜索。前文提到有人有财富却羞愧于出身，有人有贵族身份却苦于贫穷，此处指拥有两者（财富与贵族身份）的人遗憾未婚的孤独，“possession”（拥有）与“of both”搭配，故选C。 43．考查名词词义辨析。句意：思考一下造成你压力的根源。A. impact影响；B. level水平；C. source来源；D. type类型。后文“For example, maybe you are struggling to find a fulfilling job.

Instead相反；B. Meanwhile同时；C. Otherwise否则；D. Therefore因此。现代不再需要杏仁核帮人逃离老虎，反而用它处理日常烦扰，“Instead”（反而）表转折，符合语境，故选A。 51．考查形容词词义辨析。句意：而持续的压力往往会导致人们在现代生活中采取不恰当的应对方式。A. conditional有条件的；B. persistent持续的；C. temporary暂时的；D. unexpected意外的。根据后文“stress often leads to maladaptive coping strategies in modern life”可知，持续的压力导致适应不良的应对策略，“persistent”（持续的）强调压力的长期性，与“maladaptive”呼应，故选B。 52．考查动词词义辨析。句意：这类策略不仅无法带来长期的缓解效果，反而还会加剧我们的问题，因为它们会增加我们抑郁和焦虑情绪出现的频率。A. address解决；B. demonstrate表明；C. simplify简化；D. worsen恶化。根据上文“Such strategies not only fail to provide long-term relief but also”可知，这些策略不仅无法缓解，还会加剧问题，“worsen”（使恶化）与“increasing... depression and anxiety”一致，故选D。 53．考查动词短语辨析。句意：当这些应对机制无法帮助我们时，我们很容易发现自己屈服于试图控制负面情绪的前景，这可能会导致我们试图改变我们的外部世界。A. breaking away from脱离；B. coming up with提出；C. giving way to让位给、屈服于；D. looking forward to期待。根据后文“the prospect of trying to manage our negative emotions, which may lead us to try to change our outside world”指应对机制失效时，人们容易屈服于管理负面情绪的困难，进而试图改变外部世界，“giving way to”（屈服于）符合语境，故选C。 54．考查名词词义辨析。句意：波提乌斯无法改变自己的处境，但他确实能够并也确实改变了自己对这些处境的态度。A. attitude态度；B. instinct本能；C. judgment判断；D. observation观察。波伊提乌无法改变处境，但能改变对处境的态度，“attitude”（态度）与后文“thinking makes it so”呼应，故选A。 55．考查形容词词义辨析。句意：将此铭记于心并付诸行动，是提升幸福感的最伟大秘诀之一，但其实这并非什么秘密。A. adopted领养的；B. increased增强的；C. qualified有资格的；D. shortsighted目光短浅的。根据上文“To take this to heart and act on it is one of the greatest secrets to”可知，理解并践行这一点是提升幸福感的秘诀，“increased”（增强的）修饰“well-being”，体现积极效果，故选B。 第二节（共10小题：每小题1. 5分, 满分15分） 阅读下面短文, 在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 Barditch High School decided to an All-School Reunion. Over 450 people came to the event. There were tours of the old school building and a picnic at Confederate Park. Several former teachers were on hands to tell stories about the old days. Ms. Mabel Yates, the English teacher for fifty years, 56 (wheel)to the Park. Some eyes rolled and there were a few low groans(嘟囔声)when Ms.Yates was about to speak. Many started looking at their watches and coming up with excuses to be anywhere instead of preparing to listen to a lecture from an old woman 57 had few kind words for her students and made them work harder than all the other teachers combined. Then Ms. Yates started to speak: “I can’t tell you 58 pleased I am to be here. I haven’t seen many of you since your graduation, 59 I have followed your careers and enjoyed your victories as well as crying for your tragedies. I have a large collection of newspaper photographs of my students. 60 I haven’t appeared in person, I have attended your college graduations, weddings and even the birth your children, in my imagination.” Ms. Yates paused and started crying a bit. Then she continued: “ It was my belief that if I pushed you as hard as I could, some of you would succeed to please me and 61 would succeed to annoy me. Regardless of our motives, I can see that you have all been successful in your 62 （choose） path.” “There is no greater comfort for an educator than 63 (see) the end result of his or her years of work. You have all been a great source of pleasure and pride for me and I want you to know I love you all from the bottom of my heart.” There was a silence over the crowd for a few seconds and then someone started clapping. The clapping turned into cheering, then into a 64 （deafen）roar(呼喊). Lawyers, truck drivers, bankers and models were rubbing their eyes or crying openly with no shame all 65 of the words from a long forgotten English teacher from their hometown. 【答案】 56．was wheeled 57．who 58．how 59．but 60．Although 61．others 62．chosen 63．seeing / to see 64．deafening 65．because 【解析】本文是记叙文，讲述了在一次全校师生团聚中，年迈的英语老师Mabel Yates女士发表讲话，表达了一名教育者对学生的爱。她的话深深地感动了学生们。 56．考查时态和语态。句意：Mabel Yates女士，一名教了50年书的英语老师，被用轮椅推到公园。此处wheel是动词，意为：用轮椅推。句子主语Ms. Mabel Yates和谓语动词wheel之间为被动关系；全文是讲述过去的事情，是一般过去式，应用一般过去时的被动语态，故填was wheeled。 57．考查定语从句。句意：（许多人）不准备听来自一个老太太的讲座。这个老太太对她的学生几乎没有好话，逼着使他们努力，比所有其他老师加起来还要（逼得多）。______ had few kind words…是定语从句，先行词是an old woman ,指人，故填who。 58．考查从属连词。句意：“来到这里，我说不出有多高兴。”_____ pleased I am to be here是宾语从句，所填词是宾语从句的引导词，修饰表语形容词pleased，根据句意，应是“多么高兴”，故填how。 59．考查连词。句意：自从你们毕业以来，你们中的许多人我都没有见过，但我一直关注着你的职业生涯，享受着你的胜利，也为你的悲伤而哭泣。前后两句之间为转折关系，故填 but。 60．考查固定用法。句意：虽然我没有亲自露面，但我在想象中，参加了你们的大学毕业典礼、婚礼，甚至你们的孩子的出生。根据句意，用although引导让步状语从句，和主句之间为转折关系。故填 Although。 61．考查并列结构。句意：“我相信，如果我尽可能地逼你们努力，你们中的一些人很高兴地最后成功了，而另一些人很不高兴但也成功了。并列结构some… others…“一些….另一些”，故填others。 62．考查非谓语动词。句意：我可以看到你们在自己选择的道路上都成功了。choose和所修饰名词path之间为被动关系，意为“被选择的道路”，应用过去分词作定语，故填chosen。 63．考查非谓语动词。句意：对于一个教育者来说，没有什么比看到他或她多年的工作的成果而更感到安慰的了。当than连接两个并列的非谓语动词时，其后的非谓语动词与前面的并列；当than不是连接两个并列的非谓语动词时，其后出现的动词通常用动名词形式。也可用不定式，但不如用动名词普遍。故填seeing 或to see。 64．考查非谓语动词。句意：掌声变成了欢呼，然后变成了震耳欲聋的呼喊声。修饰名词roar，应用形容词，deafen为动词，形容词为deafening，意为“震耳欲聋的，极喧闹的”，故填deafening。 65．考查从属连词。句意：律师、卡车司机、银行家和模特们都在揉眼睛，或者丝毫不害羞地在公共场合哭了，这都是因为一位早已被遗忘的来自家乡的英语老师的所说的话。因为年迈的老师所说的话，学生们都被感动了。前后之间为因果关系。故填because。 【点睛】than后接动词用不定式还是动名词 1. 当连接两个非谓语动词时，通常应使用一样的形式。如： It is much easier to get into debt than to get out of it. 借债容易还债难。 He likes playing chess more than watching TV. 与看电视相比，他更喜欢下棋。 比较： He thinks it is safer to drive himself than (to) let me drive. He thinks that driving himself is safer than letting me drive. 他认为他自己开车比让我开车要更安全些。 2. 若不是连接两个非谓语动词，则其后出现的动词通常用动名词形式(虽然也可用不定式，但不如用动名词普通)。如： There is something worse than failing your driving test. 比起你驾驶考试不合格来说，还有更糟糕的呢。 Nothing gives me more pleasure than listening to Mozart. 再没有比听莫扎特的乐曲更让我高兴的事了。 Nothing is more unpleasant than finding（to find）insects in your bath. 最使人不快的是在浴室里发现有虫子。 第四部分 写作（共两节, 满分40分） 第一节（满分15分） 微笑不仅是东西方国家常用的肢体语言，而且对人民还有很多好处，请你以“The Benefits of Smile”为题写一篇英语短文，内容包括： 1. 减轻压力； 2. 提高免疫力； 3. 改善心情。 注意：1. 词数 80 左右；2. 可以适当增加细节，以使行文连贯。参考词汇：免疫系统 immune system ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Smiling is of great benefit to us in many ways.

Their laughter was always there in the locker rooms and on the sidelines, reminding me that not everyone shared my passion. One day, while attending a match with a team named Boreham Wood, I had an unexpected encounter with a famous football player, Chris Bush! He was rather ordinary- looking, even a little short and chubby, but he's the center of attention on the court. Everyone was attracted by his superb skills. Watching him play, I felt a surge of hope and inspiration. His skill and determination seemed to defy the doubts that had been cast upon me. Gathering up my courage, I approached him with a mix of nervousness and excitement when the game was ended. I introduced myself and expressed my admiration for his game. To my surprise, he stopped and engaged in a conversation with me. I shared my struggles, how the constant mockery (嘲笑) made me feel like an outsider in a world that celebrated height and lean muscle. Chris listened carefully, his eyes reflecting a depth of understanding that only someone who has faced their own battles could possess. He shared his own story, he had once been in my shoes, ridiculed for his size and told he would never make it in football. Chris told me how he used his size to his advantage, how he became quicker, smarter, and more determined than anyone else on the field. He told me that football was a game of heart and determination, not just physical attributes(特征). His words were like a beacon of hope, and I felt a renewed sense of determination. 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。 Inspired by his words, I regained my confidence. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ In a competition half a year later, Chris watched the game I participated in. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】      Inspired by his words, I regained my confidence. I started training harder than ever before. I focused on improving my skills and using my size to my advantage, just as Chris had advised. I spent hours practicing dribbling, passing, and shooting, and I also worked on my speed and agility. Every day, I reminded myself of Chris’s words and the belief he had in me. In a competition half a year later, Chris watched the game I participated in. I was nervous at first, but as the game progressed, I felt more and more confident. I played with all my heart and used the skills I had learned. To my surprise, I played really well and helped my team win the game. After the game, Chris came up to me and congratulated me. He said he was proud of me and that I had proved that determination and hard work could overcome any obstacles. I felt incredibly happy and grateful for his support and inspiration. 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者在面对嘲笑和质疑时，如何受到著名足球运动员Chris Bush的启发，通过自身努力和坚持，最终实现自我突破和成长的故事，传递了积极向上、不屈不挠的励志精神。 【解析】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“受到他的话的鼓舞，我恢复了信心。”以及第二段首句内容“在半年后的一次比赛中，Chris观看了我参加的比赛。”可知，第一段可描写作者开始积极训练。 ②由第二段首句内容“在半年后的一次比赛中，Chris观看了我参加的比赛。”可知，第二段可描写作者发挥得非常出色，对Chris充满感激之情。 2.续写线索：被别人嘲笑——遇到球星Chris——和Chris攀谈——表达困惑——鼓舞作者——积极锻炼——肯定付出——充满感激 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①专注于：focus on/concentrate on ②提高：improve/enhance ③建议：advise/suggest 情绪类 ①惊讶：surprise/amazement ②对……感到自豪：be proud of/take pride in 【点睛】【高分句型1】I was nervous at first, but as the game progressed, I felt more and more confident.（运用了as引导的状语从句）。 【高分句型2】I played with all my heart and used the skills I had learned.（运用了省略关系代词的定语从句）。 1/3 1/3 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 2025-2026学年高二英语选择性必修第一册单元测试 （四川专用） Unit 1·培优卷（参考答案） 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 1.

I focused on improving my skills and using my size to my advantage, just as Chris had advised. I spent hours practicing dribbling, passing, and shooting, and I also worked on my speed and agility. Every day, I reminded myself of Chris’s words and the belief he had in me. In a competition half a year later, Chris watched the game I participated in. I was nervous at first, but as the game progressed, I felt more and more confident. I played with all my heart and used the skills I had learned. To my surprise, I played really well and helped my team win the game. After the game, Chris came up to me and congratulated me. He said he was proud of me and that I had proved that determination and hard work could overcome any obstacles. I felt incredibly happy and grateful for his support and inspiration. 　 原创精品资源学科网独家享有版权，侵权必究！1 学科网（北京）股份有限公司2 / 2 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 2025-2026学年高二英语选择性必修第一册单元测试 （四川专用） Unit 1·培优卷 学校:___________班级：___________姓名：___________分数：___________ （时间：120分钟，满分：150分） 注意事项： 1. 答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、准考证号填写在答题卡上。 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，将本试卷和答题卡一并交回。 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分 30 分） 做题时，请先将答案标在试卷上。录音内容结束后，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。 第一节（共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分） 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 1．Where are the speakers?

Inspire visitors and school groups with special exhibitions, permanent exhibitions, movies and galleries in the museum. Join our team of Nature Volunteers to learn about and protect natural history. What We Look for in a Volunteer √Although some volunteers have a specialized knowledge of natural history, a willingness to learn is more important than qualifications. √We ask volunteers to commit a half day a week for three to four months, minimum. Commitment to the schedule is beneficial for all. √The museum operates in English and French. We are always looking for volunteers speaking both languages, but this is not a requirement for most positions. Benefits of Volunteering ☆Visit all parts of the museum without any charge. ☆Attend lectures and workshops (if space allows). ☆Develop job-related customer service, teamwork, interpersonal and administrative skills. ☆Get discounts on gifts at the Nature Boutique! Volunteer Opportunities School Programs Youth Opportunities Volunteers aged:18 and above will support our staff in providing workshops for school groups in the museum galleries (during the school year) and play a key role during the breakout activities, assisting students in: their explorations and discoveries. Applicants should be comfortable working with children in a busy environment. During winter and spring school breaks, there may be a limited number of volunteer opportunities for youth ranging in age from 14 to 17. Volunteers would assist with enhancing our visitors’s experience and/or the delivery of special programmes. 21．Who are disqualified for the position? A．Those under the age of 18.

How many of them build their success overnight? How many of them didn’t care about their goals? How many of them gave up after the first failure? Most of the people we know to be successful were very persistent and devoted to their dreams. In other words, they work hard towards their dreams and keep trying, even if their goals aren’t easy to achieve. They didn’t give up just because they faced barriers and problems. They might even get encouraged by them. Persistence really matters. It can help build your character. Nothing builds your character more than overcoming failures and problems in life. You get tougher and can handle anything life might throw at you. Each time you win your urge to give up, you make your mind and personality a bit stronger. Each of those wins will build your character to be healthier and to handle more stress. When you are committed to something, you are willing to learn what it takes to be successful. You will be required to learn new skills and solve new kinds of problems. When you are persistent about your goals, you will have to learn new ways of doing things. Sometimes you might notice that to solve a particular problem, you need to learn more about it. When you study more about the topic, you discover new exciting subtopics to know about. As you think more in-depth into that problem, you will be exposed to new ideas and thoughts. Persistence is the driver behind your ability to learn what you need to know. When you keep building your persistence and willpower, you will face many failures. Things don’t always end up as you have planned. With persistence, you will learn how to solve those problems and get back up after a failure. You will learn that failure is not the end of the world. Life goes on, and so can you. Each time you decide to overcome your failure, you will learn something new, and you will be a bit stronger than before. Those changes won’t show daily, but slowly they will start to stack up. If you look back and analyze your process, you will discover that you handle the stressful situation more efficiently, and after failures, you won’t go into despair. You rather know how to handle each failure as you have accumulated experiences from them and handle challenging situations. Persistence is a basic quality to develop in life because it is closely related to personal development and improvement. As you already know, it is not easy, but it is worthy of your effort. 24．The underlined word “them” in Paragraph refers to________. A．dreams B．successful men C．most of the people D．barriers and problems 25．What does Paragraph 4 mainly talk about? A．Persistence builds your character. B．Persistence teaches you how to manage failures. C．Persistence improves your skills and abilities. D．Persistence helps you handle a stressful situation. 26．What can be inferred from the passage? A．People with persistence seldom suffer from failures. B．Learning new skills will make you more persistent. C．Persistent people are easier to get out of a bad mood. D．Successful people usually have stronger personalities. 27．The author writes the passage to__________. A．explain the importance of being persistent B．analyze the character of successful people C．offer some suggestions about being persistent D．show how to deal with problems and face failures C Shakespeare has rightly said, “A light heart lives long.” There is no greater thing than cheerfulness in the daily life and our cheer can be expressed through a smile or a laugh. The saying “Laughter is the best medicine” has deep meanings. Many scientists have stressed the importance of laughter, which can lead a healthy life. In ancient times, most Emperors and Kings had a clown to make them laugh. This improved the atmosphere and helped people to come closer. Almost every comedy has a character to make people laugh. Funny TV plays use recorded sounds of laughter at the proper place. It is a well­known fact that health and cheerfulness influence each other. Doctors and psychologists all agree that patients can actually benefit from laughter. Those who see the bright side of life and remain happy are unlikely to go down with stress­related problems. A good laugh is also a useful tool in the workplace. Nervousness is unavoidable in business, but humor is an unexpected surprise that can help people better deal with the nervousness. Researchers have found that the more stress people are under, the more they are ready to laugh. A good laugh is looked upon as an encouraging tool. After laughing, you can begin a new thought process; it helps to set the mind in a different way. Many cities in India have laughter clubs where people get together in the morning for laughing. There are over 200 such clubs in India, which were started in Mumbai. All kinds of fitness exercise, along with laughter skills, are combined into the program. This has become known as the laughter treatment. Until now, many sick people have benefited from it. Making people laugh is an art and can be cultivated. Collect jokes, funny stories and humorous sayings and use them properly. Build a humor collection — buy books by P. G Wodehouse or anyone else who makes you keep laughing. Watch comedy plays when you are down in life. 28．How does a good laugh help people in the workplace? A．It keeps people healthy. B．It helps people have creative ideas. C．It helps people make more money. D．It frees people from their worries. 29．What can laughter clubs do for people? A．They can make people confident. B．They can offer people suitable jobs. C．They can help people recover from illness. D．They can provide opportunities for people to make friends. 30．What does the underlined word “cultivated” in the last paragraph probably mean? A．Developed. B．Enjoyed. C．Realized. D．Taught. 31．What’s the author’s purpose of writing the text? A．To state laughter leads to health. B．To show the importance of laughter. C．To prove laughter helps us work better. D．To introduce some ways to make us laugh. D There isn’t any doubt that positive thinking is valuable after you find out you have cancer. But will positive thoughts help the cancer go away? There have been a number of studies on this subject, but none of the studies say that positive thinking is a factor (因素) in helping cancer go away, or that negative feelings can make cancer worse. So, is there a reason to have a positive attitude? Of course there is.While I understand the danger of my illness, I choose not to focus on statistics(数据统计). I always imagine myself as being among the smaller group of patients who survive. Why do I do that? So I can sleep well; so I can plan a trip for two days from now; so I have a reason to begin writing another book with the expectation that I’ll finish it; so my husband and I can enjoy lunch out; so I can reach out to someone else who’s having a difficult time and offer them encouragement. A positive attitude can also help family members feel better so they can contribute to a more loving family environment. Most cancer patients, as well as their family members, know all too well how dangerous cancer can be. It’s difficult to carry on when patients receive bad news. But a positive attitude helps me want to do things that I know are beneficial(有益的) to my health, and helps me through the thinning hair, tiredness and low blood counts which are the side effects(副作用) of my treatment(治疗). So, I prefer to stay happy and positive. I do my best not to think too much about all the hospital visits, and I try not to panic (惊慌) if I feel any pain. Instead, I seek joy as much as I can, and because I am seeking joy, I find joy. Being positive might not save you from cancer, but I can almost guarantee(保证) you that if you are positive, you will find meaning in your life, as well as happiness in every day that you live. 32．According to the first two paragraphs, studies show that _________. A．positive thinking can save patients from cancer B．negative thinking is very likely to make cancer worse C．positive thinking cannot help patients get rid of cancer D．one’s attitude has a direct effect on cancer 33．After the author found out she had cancer, ______. A．she was sure she would survive B．she tried to enjoy her life and help others C．she refused to go through painful treatment D．she was quite troubled by the seriousness of her illness 34．It can be concluded from the author’s experiences that positive thinking ______. A．makes cancer treatment less painful for patients B．makes it much easier for people to accept bad news C．prepares family members for what may happen next D．helps create a good environment for patients 35．The author wrote this article mainly to ______. A．tell patients how to fight against illness B．explain the danger of cancer to readers C．stress the importance of a positive attitude D．help readers find meaning and happiness in life 第二节（共5小题：每小题2. 5分, 满分12. 5分） 阅读下面短文, 从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Humans are born and wired to compete with one another. Influencers compare how many “likes” they have on social media. Millionaires envy billionaires. Famous actors complain about the Oscar or Emmy that should have been theirs. 36 On the contrary, if left unmanaged it can create misery (不幸) for ourselves and others, at least when it comes to happiness and longevity (长寿). This conclusion comes from research conducted on Olympic athletes. In a 1995 study, scholars studied the emotional reactions of silver and bronze medalists in the 1992 Summer Olympic Games. They examined the medalists both immediately after their events and later on the awards podium (领奖台). 37 More recent research has looked at the life span (寿命) of all three medalist categories. A 2018 study tracked the average longevity of those representing the U. S. in the Olympic Games from 1904 to 1936. The results showed that the athletes whose best performance was silver lived to 72. Gold medalists beat this by a solid (不间断的) four years, living to 76. But first prize went to the bronze medalists, who lived to 78. The study had a handy explanation: “ 38 ” In other words, silver medalists see themselves as the first loser. This is because they look up to the top step and compare themselves only with the gold medalists while the bronze winners compare themselves favourably with all the others who never made it onto the podium at all. This hypothesis (假设) is based on a large body of literature (文献) showing the difference between upward and downward social comparison. When we compare ourselves with those who have more money, power, or achievements, we often feel like losers. 39 The worldly happiness strategy of striving for gold every day is foolish. More likely, you will spend most of your time feeling like a silver medalist. 40 It would be much more advisable, then, to aim for healthy competition in which you do your best without expectation of being the absolute winner. The only person to whom you will have to compare yourself is you. A．Dissatisfactory competition results may negatively influence health. B．In contrast, downward comparison makes people feel better about themselves, and thus happier. C．It is discovered that the bronze winners appeared happier on average than the silver medalists. D．Comparing our own circumstances with the unfortunate lot of others is a reliable path to general well-being. E．Although the competitive spirit may be as natural as breathing air, it does not always lead to human flourishing F．You may be always longing, pinning your hope on a single outcome, but eventually ending up with failure and disappointment. G．People commonly feel bad about themselves after checking out the lives of others on social media who post only about their victories and celebrations. 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题：每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文, 从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Everyone has things about their life that they would like to change. As the early 6th-century Roman philosopher Boethius put it, “One has abundant riches, but is 41 by his ignoble (不光彩的) birth. Another is conspicuous (引人注目的) for his nobility, but through the embarrassments of poverty would prefer to be little known. A third, in 42 of both, regrets the loneliness of an unwedded life. ” Think about the 43 of your stress. For example, maybe you are struggling to find a fulfilling job. Or maybe you are not getting much out of your friendships. To improve the situation, you might 44 moving, getting a new job and meeting new people. However, these solutions might be impractical at this point in your life. And in any case, you might also 45 that your problems will continue to follow you regardless of where you go, because, well, you can’t move away from you. Now I am going to tell you a little secret. Changing how you feel can actually be much easier to accomplish than changing your 46 reality, even if it seems unnatural. Your emotions can seem like they are out of your control even at the best of times, and even more so during a 47 . This can be blamed in part on biology. Negative emotions such as anger and fear stimulate the amygdala (杏仁体), which increases one’s awareness of 48 and improves one’s ability to recognize and avoid danger. This makes good 49 sense: Half a million years ago, taking time to manage your emotions would have made you a tiger’s lunch. In the modern world, you no longer need your amygdala to help you outrun the tiger. 50 , you use it to handle the nonlethal (非致命的) problems that annoy you all day long. And 51 stress often leads to maladaptive coping strategies in modern life. Such strategies not only fail to provide long-term relief but also 52 our problems by increasing the frequency of our feelings of depression and anxiety. When these kinds of coping mechanisms fail to help us, we can easily find ourselves 53 the prospect of trying to manage our negative emotions, which may lead us to try to change our outside world. In fact, Boethius wrote the words I quoted above from a prison cell while awaiting execution (处决). Boethius could not change his circumstances, but he could and did change his 54 toward them. “So true is it that nothing is wretched (不愉快的), but thinking makes it so,” he wrote. To take this to heart and act on it is one of the greatest secrets to 55 well-being, but it does not have to be a secret. If Boethius could do it, so can you. 41．A．oppressed B．reflected C．shamed D．shocked 42．A．charge B．favour C．possession D．search 43．A．impact B．level C．source D．type 44．A．consider B．delay C．report D．risk 45．A．prove B．remember C．stress D．suspect 46．A．physical B．verbal C．virtual D．visual 47．A．campaign B．ceremony C．crisis D．match 48．A．details B．extremes C．manners D．threats 49．A．academic B．evolutionary C．mathematical D．medical 50．A．Instead B．Meanwhile’ C．Otherwise D．Therefore 51．A．conditional B．persistent C．temporary D．unexpected 52．A．address B．demonstrate C．simplify D．worsen 53．A．breaking away from B．coming up with C．giving way to D．looking forward to 54．A．attitude B．instinct C．judgment D．observation 55．A．adopted B．increased C．qualified D．shortsighted 第二节（共10小题：每小题1. 5分, 满分15分） 阅读下面短文, 在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 Barditch High School decided to an All-School Reunion. Over 450 people came to the event. There were tours of the old school building and a picnic at Confederate Park. Several former teachers were on hands to tell stories about the old days. Ms. Mabel Yates, the English teacher for fifty years, 56 (wheel)to the Park. Some eyes rolled and there were a few low groans(嘟囔声)when Ms.Yates was about to speak. Many started looking at their watches and coming up with excuses to be anywhere instead of preparing to listen to a lecture from an old woman 57 had few kind words for her students and made them work harder than all the other teachers combined. Then Ms. Yates started to speak: “I can’t tell you 58 pleased I am to be here. I haven’t seen many of you since your graduation, 59 I have followed your careers and enjoyed your victories as well as crying for your tragedies. I have a large collection of newspaper photographs of my students. 60 I haven’t appeared in person, I have attended your college graduations, weddings and even the birth your children, in my imagination.” Ms. Yates paused and started crying a bit. Then she continued: “ It was my belief that if I pushed you as hard as I could, some of you would succeed to please me and 61 would succeed to annoy me. Regardless of our motives, I can see that you have all been successful in your 62 （choose） path.” “There is no greater comfort for an educator than 63 (see) the end result of his or her years of work. You have all been a great source of pleasure and pride for me and I want you to know I love you all from the bottom of my heart.” There was a silence over the crowd for a few seconds and then someone started clapping. The clapping turned into cheering, then into a 64 （deafen）roar(呼喊).

Their laughter was always there in the locker rooms and on the sidelines, reminding me that not everyone shared my passion. One day, while attending a match with a team named Boreham Wood, I had an unexpected encounter with a famous football player, Chris Bush! He was rather ordinary- looking, even a little short and chubby, but he's the center of attention on the court. Everyone was attracted by his superb skills. Watching him play, I felt a surge of hope and inspiration. His skill and determination seemed to defy the doubts that had been cast upon me. Gathering up my courage, I approached him with a mix of nervousness and excitement when the game was ended. I introduced myself and expressed my admiration for his game. To my surprise, he stopped and engaged in a conversation with me. I shared my struggles, how the constant mockery (嘲笑) made me feel like an outsider in a world that celebrated height and lean muscle. Chris listened carefully, his eyes reflecting a depth of understanding that only someone who has faced their own battles could possess. He shared his own story, he had once been in my shoes, ridiculed for his size and told he would never make it in football. Chris told me how he used his size to his advantage, how he became quicker, smarter, and more determined than anyone else on the field. He told me that football was a game of heart and determination, not just physical attributes(特征). His words were like a beacon of hope, and I felt a renewed sense of determination. 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。 Inspired by his words, I regained my confidence. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ In a competition half a year later, Chris watched the game I participated in. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 1/3 1/3 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$听力考试正式开始。Could you clean and press these two shirts and repair a chair in this jacket?

What's thought to be the oldest message in a bottles yet found has been picked up on a beach in western australia.

Later, SHE noticed faint handwriting on the note with the date of twelve, june eighteen eighty six, and the name of the ship IT also gave the geographical position of the ship, which had been sAiling in the indian ocean nearly six hundred miles away. A little more detective work online and some help from the museum of western australia helped to confirm the find was real. The ship had been traveling from cardiff to indonesia. The bottle would have been thrown overboard by the crew.

Inspire visitors and school groups with special exhibitions, permanent exhibitions, movies and galleries in the museum. Join our team of Nature Volunteers to learn about and protect natural history. What We Look for in a Volunteer √Although some volunteers have a specialized knowledge of natural history, a willingness to learn is more important than qualifications. √We ask volunteers to commit a half day a week for three to four months, minimum. Commitment to the schedule is beneficial for all. √The museum operates in English and French. We are always looking for volunteers speaking both languages, but this is not a requirement for most positions. Benefits of Volunteering ☆Visit all parts of the museum without any charge. ☆Attend lectures and workshops (if space allows). ☆Develop job-related customer service, teamwork, interpersonal and administrative skills. ☆Get discounts on gifts at the Nature Boutique! Volunteer Opportunities School Programs Youth Opportunities Volunteers aged:18 and above will support our staff in providing workshops for school groups in the museum galleries (during the school year) and play a key role during the breakout activities, assisting students in: their explorations and discoveries. Applicants should be comfortable working with children in a busy environment. During winter and spring school breaks, there may be a limited number of volunteer opportunities for youth ranging in age from 14 to 17. Volunteers would assist with enhancing our visitors’s experience and/or the delivery of special programmes. 21．Who are disqualified for the position? A．Those under the age of 18. B．Those available in a two-month holiday. C．Those speaking no French. D．Those with insufficient natural knowledge. 22．What can volunteers enjoy? A．Attendance at all lectures.

How many of them build their success overnight? How many of them didn’t care about their goals? How many of them gave up after the first failure? Most of the people we know to be successful were very persistent and devoted to their dreams. In other words, they work hard towards their dreams and keep trying, even if their goals aren’t easy to achieve. They didn’t give up just because they faced barriers and problems. They might even get encouraged by them. Persistence really matters. It can help build your character. Nothing builds your character more than overcoming failures and problems in life. You get tougher and can handle anything life might throw at you. Each time you win your urge to give up, you make your mind and personality a bit stronger. Each of those wins will build your character to be healthier and to handle more stress. When you are committed to something, you are willing to learn what it takes to be successful. You will be required to learn new skills and solve new kinds of problems. When you are persistent about your goals, you will have to learn new ways of doing things. Sometimes you might notice that to solve a particular problem, you need to learn more about it. When you study more about the topic, you discover new exciting subtopics to know about. As you think more in-depth into that problem, you will be exposed to new ideas and thoughts. Persistence is the driver behind your ability to learn what you need to know. When you keep building your persistence and willpower, you will face many failures. Things don’t always end up as you have planned. With persistence, you will learn how to solve those problems and get back up after a failure. You will learn that failure is not the end of the world. Life goes on, and so can you. Each time you decide to overcome your failure, you will learn something new, and you will be a bit stronger than before. Those changes won’t show daily, but slowly they will start to stack up. If you look back and analyze your process, you will discover that you handle the stressful situation more efficiently, and after failures, you won’t go into despair. You rather know how to handle each failure as you have accumulated experiences from them and handle challenging situations. Persistence is a basic quality to develop in life because it is closely related to personal development and improvement. As you already know, it is not easy, but it is worthy of your effort. 24．The underlined word “them” in Paragraph refers to________. A．dreams B．successful men C．most of the people D．barriers and problems 25．What does Paragraph 4 mainly talk about? A．Persistence builds your character. B．Persistence teaches you how to manage failures. C．Persistence improves your skills and abilities. D．Persistence helps you handle a stressful situation. 26．What can be inferred from the passage? A．People with persistence seldom suffer from failures. B．Learning new skills will make you more persistent. C．Persistent people are easier to get out of a bad mood. D．Successful people usually have stronger personalities. 27．The author writes the passage to__________. A．explain the importance of being persistent B．analyze the character of successful people C．offer some suggestions about being persistent D．show how to deal with problems and face failures C Shakespeare has rightly said, “A light heart lives long.” There is no greater thing than cheerfulness in the daily life and our cheer can be expressed through a smile or a laugh. The saying “Laughter is the best medicine” has deep meanings. Many scientists have stressed the importance of laughter, which can lead a healthy life. In ancient times, most Emperors and Kings had a clown to make them laugh. This improved the atmosphere and helped people to come closer. Almost every comedy has a character to make people laugh. Funny TV plays use recorded sounds of laughter at the proper place. It is a well­known fact that health and cheerfulness influence each other. Doctors and psychologists all agree that patients can actually benefit from laughter. Those who see the bright side of life and remain happy are unlikely to go down with stress­related problems. A good laugh is also a useful tool in the workplace. Nervousness is unavoidable in business, but humor is an unexpected surprise that can help people better deal with the nervousness. Researchers have found that the more stress people are under, the more they are ready to laugh. A good laugh is looked upon as an encouraging tool. After laughing, you can begin a new thought process; it helps to set the mind in a different way. Many cities in India have laughter clubs where people get together in the morning for laughing. There are over 200 such clubs in India, which were started in Mumbai. All kinds of fitness exercise, along with laughter skills, are combined into the program. This has become known as the laughter treatment. Until now, many sick people have benefited from it. Making people laugh is an art and can be cultivated. Collect jokes, funny stories and humorous sayings and use them properly. Build a humor collection — buy books by P. G Wodehouse or anyone else who makes you keep laughing. Watch comedy plays when you are down in life. 28．How does a good laugh help people in the workplace? A．It keeps people healthy. B．It helps people have creative ideas. C．It helps people make more money. D．It frees people from their worries. 29．What can laughter clubs do for people? A．They can make people confident. B．They can offer people suitable jobs. C．They can help people recover from illness. D．They can provide opportunities for people to make friends. 30．What does the underlined word “cultivated” in the last paragraph probably mean? A．Developed. B．Enjoyed. C．Realized. D．Taught. 31．What’s the author’s purpose of writing the text? A．To state laughter leads to health. B．To show the importance of laughter. C．To prove laughter helps us work better. D．To introduce some ways to make us laugh. D There isn’t any doubt that positive thinking is valuable after you find out you have cancer. But will positive thoughts help the cancer go away? There have been a number of studies on this subject, but none of the studies say that positive thinking is a factor (因素) in helping cancer go away, or that negative feelings can make cancer worse. So, is there a reason to have a positive attitude? Of course there is.While I understand the danger of my illness, I choose not to focus on statistics(数据统计). I always imagine myself as being among the smaller group of patients who survive. Why do I do that? So I can sleep well; so I can plan a trip for two days from now; so I have a reason to begin writing another book with the expectation that I’ll finish it; so my husband and I can enjoy lunch out; so I can reach out to someone else who’s having a difficult time and offer them encouragement. A positive attitude can also help family members feel better so they can contribute to a more loving family environment. Most cancer patients, as well as their family members, know all too well how dangerous cancer can be. It’s difficult to carry on when patients receive bad news. But a positive attitude helps me want to do things that I know are beneficial(有益的) to my health, and helps me through the thinning hair, tiredness and low blood counts which are the side effects(副作用) of my treatment(治疗). So, I prefer to stay happy and positive. I do my best not to think too much about all the hospital visits, and I try not to panic (惊慌) if I feel any pain. Instead, I seek joy as much as I can, and because I am seeking joy, I find joy. Being positive might not save you from cancer, but I can almost guarantee(保证) you that if you are positive, you will find meaning in your life, as well as happiness in every day that you live. 32．According to the first two paragraphs, studies show that _________. A．positive thinking can save patients from cancer B．negative thinking is very likely to make cancer worse C．positive thinking cannot help patients get rid of cancer D．one’s attitude has a direct effect on cancer 33．After the author found out she had cancer, ______. A．she was sure she would survive B．she tried to enjoy her life and help others C．she refused to go through painful treatment D．she was quite troubled by the seriousness of her illness 34．It can be concluded from the author’s experiences that positive thinking ______. A．makes cancer treatment less painful for patients B．makes it much easier for people to accept bad news C．prepares family members for what may happen next D．helps create a good environment for patients 35．The author wrote this article mainly to ______. A．tell patients how to fight against illness B．explain the danger of cancer to readers C．stress the importance of a positive attitude D．help readers find meaning and happiness in life 第二节（共5小题：每小题2. 5分, 满分12. 5分） 阅读下面短文, 从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Humans are born and wired to compete with one another. Influencers compare how many “likes” they have on social media. Millionaires envy billionaires. Famous actors complain about the Oscar or Emmy that should have been theirs. 36 On the contrary, if left unmanaged it can create misery (不幸) for ourselves and others, at least when it comes to happiness and longevity (长寿). This conclusion comes from research conducted on Olympic athletes. In a 1995 study, scholars studied the emotional reactions of silver and bronze medalists in the 1992 Summer Olympic Games. They examined the medalists both immediately after their events and later on the awards podium (领奖台). 37 More recent research has looked at the life span (寿命) of all three medalist categories. A 2018 study tracked the average longevity of those representing the U. S. in the Olympic Games from 1904 to 1936. The results showed that the athletes whose best performance was silver lived to 72. Gold medalists beat this by a solid (不间断的) four years, living to 76. But first prize went to the bronze medalists, who lived to 78. The study had a handy explanation: “ 38 ” In other words, silver medalists see themselves as the first loser. This is because they look up to the top step and compare themselves only with the gold medalists while the bronze winners compare themselves favourably with all the others who never made it onto the podium at all. This hypothesis (假设) is based on a large body of literature (文献) showing the difference between upward and downward social comparison. When we compare ourselves with those who have more money, power, or achievements, we often feel like losers. 39 The worldly happiness strategy of striving for gold every day is foolish. More likely, you will spend most of your time feeling like a silver medalist. 40 It would be much more advisable, then, to aim for healthy competition in which you do your best without expectation of being the absolute winner. The only person to whom you will have to compare yourself is you. A．Dissatisfactory competition results may negatively influence health. B．In contrast, downward comparison makes people feel better about themselves, and thus happier. C．It is discovered that the bronze winners appeared happier on average than the silver medalists. D．Comparing our own circumstances with the unfortunate lot of others is a reliable path to general well-being. E．Although the competitive spirit may be as natural as breathing air, it does not always lead to human flourishing F．You may be always longing, pinning your hope on a single outcome, but eventually ending up with failure and disappointment. G．People commonly feel bad about themselves after checking out the lives of others on social media who post only about their victories and celebrations. 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题：每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文, 从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Everyone has things about their life that they would like to change. As the early 6th-century Roman philosopher Boethius put it, “One has abundant riches, but is 41 by his ignoble (不光彩的) birth. Another is conspicuous (引人注目的) for his nobility, but through the embarrassments of poverty would prefer to be little known. A third, in 42 of both, regrets the loneliness of an unwedded life. ” Think about the 43 of your stress. For example, maybe you are struggling to find a fulfilling job. Or maybe you are not getting much out of your friendships. To improve the situation, you might 44 moving, getting a new job and meeting new people. However, these solutions might be impractical at this point in your life. And in any case, you might also 45 that your problems will continue to follow you regardless of where you go, because, well, you can’t move away from you. Now I am going to tell you a little secret. Changing how you feel can actually be much easier to accomplish than changing your 46 reality, even if it seems unnatural. Your emotions can seem like they are out of your control even at the best of times, and even more so during a 47 . This can be blamed in part on biology. Negative emotions such as anger and fear stimulate the amygdala (杏仁体), which increases one’s awareness of 48 and improves one’s ability to recognize and avoid danger. This makes good 49 sense: Half a million years ago, taking time to manage your emotions would have made you a tiger’s lunch. In the modern world, you no longer need your amygdala to help you outrun the tiger. 50 , you use it to handle the nonlethal (非致命的) problems that annoy you all day long. And 51 stress often leads to maladaptive coping strategies in modern life. Such strategies not only fail to provide long-term relief but also 52 our problems by increasing the frequency of our feelings of depression and anxiety. When these kinds of coping mechanisms fail to help us, we can easily find ourselves 53 the prospect of trying to manage our negative emotions, which may lead us to try to change our outside world. In fact, Boethius wrote the words I quoted above from a prison cell while awaiting execution (处决). Boethius could not change his circumstances, but he could and did change his 54 toward them. “So true is it that nothing is wretched (不愉快的), but thinking makes it so,” he wrote. To take this to heart and act on it is one of the greatest secrets to 55 well-being, but it does not have to be a secret. If Boethius could do it, so can you. 41．A．oppressed B．reflected C．shamed D．shocked 42．A．charge B．favour C．possession D．search 43．A．impact B．level C．source D．type 44．A．consider B．delay C．report D．risk 45．A．prove B．remember C．stress D．suspect 46．A．physical B．verbal C．virtual D．visual 47．A．campaign B．ceremony C．crisis D．match 48．A．details B．extremes C．manners D．threats 49．A．academic B．evolutionary C．mathematical D．medical 50．A．Instead B．Meanwhile’ C．Otherwise D．Therefore 51．A．conditional B．persistent C．temporary D．unexpected 52．A．address B．demonstrate C．simplify D．worsen 53．A．breaking away from B．coming up with C．giving way to D．looking forward to 54．A．attitude B．instinct C．judgment D．observation 55．A．adopted B．increased C．qualified D．shortsighted 第二节（共10小题：每小题1. 5分, 满分15分） 阅读下面短文, 在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 Barditch High School decided to an All-School Reunion. Over 450 people came to the event. There were tours of the old school building and a picnic at Confederate Park. Several former teachers were on hands to tell stories about the old days. Ms. Mabel Yates, the English teacher for fifty years, 56 (wheel)to the Park. Some eyes rolled and there were a few low groans(嘟囔声)when Ms.Yates was about to speak. Many started looking at their watches and coming up with excuses to be anywhere instead of preparing to listen to a lecture from an old woman 57 had few kind words for her students and made them work harder than all the other teachers combined. Then Ms. Yates started to speak:“I can’t tell you 58 pleased I am to be here. I haven’t seen many of you since your graduation, 59 I have followed your careers and enjoyed your victories as well as crying for your tragedies. I have a large collection of newspaper photographs of my students. 60 I haven’t appeared in person, I have attended your college graduations, weddings and even the birth your children, in my imagination.” Ms. Yates paused and started crying a bit. Then she continued: “ It was my belief that if I pushed you as hard as I could, some of you would succeed to please me and 61 would succeed to annoy me. Regardless of our motives, I can see that you have all been successful in your 62 （choose） path.” “There is no greater comfort for an educator than 63 (see) the end result of his or her years of work. You have all been a great source of pleasure and pride for me and I want you to know I love you all from the bottom of my heart.” There was a silence over the crowd for a few seconds and then someone started clapping. The clapping turned into cheering, then into a 64 （deafen）roar(呼喊). Lawyers, truck drivers, bankers and models were rubbing their eyes or crying openly with no shame all 65 of the words from a long forgotten English teacher from their hometown. 第四部分 写作（共两节, 满分40分） 第一节（满分15分） 微笑不仅是东西方国家常用的肢体语言，而且对人民还有很多好处，请你以“The Benefits of Smile”为题写一篇英语短文，内容包括： 1. 减轻压力； 2. 提高免疫力； 3. 改善心情。 注意：1. 词数 80 左右；2. 可以适当增加细节，以使行文连贯。参考词汇：免疫系统 immune system ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第二节（满分25分） 阅读下面材料：根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。 I have always been passionate about football, but my enthusiasm was often overshadowed by others who always laughed at my short stature and fat figure, they would laugh secretly, copying how I walked with big steps and making fun of my love for the game. Their laughter was always there in the locker rooms and on the sidelines, reminding me that not everyone shared my passion. One day, while attending a match with a team named Boreham Wood, I had an unexpected encounter with a famous football player, Chris Bush! He was rather ordinary- looking, even a little short and chubby, but he's the center of attention on the court. Everyone was attracted by his superb skills. Watching him play, I felt a surge of hope and inspiration. His skill and determination seemed to defy the doubts that had been cast upon me. Gathering up my courage, I approached him with a mix of nervousness and excitement when the game was ended. I introduced myself and expressed my admiration for his game. To my surprise, he stopped and engaged in a conversation with me. I shared my struggles, how the constant mockery (嘲笑) made me feel like an outsider in a world that celebrated height and lean muscle. Chris listened carefully, his eyes reflecting a depth of understanding that only someone who has faced their own battles could possess. He shared his own story, he had once been in my shoes, ridiculed for his size and told he would never make it in football. Chris told me how he used his size to his advantage, how he became quicker, smarter, and more determined than anyone else on the field. He told me that football was a game of heart and determination, not just physical attributes(特征).
