A new study found that helping the environment—picking up trash, using less plastic, or walking instead of driving—can make people just as happy as doing activities like hobbies.
In his research, Michael Prinzing from Baylor University in Texas looked at how eco-friendly activities affect (影响) happiness.
“Many people think it’s hard to live in an eco-friendly way because it means giving up comfort,” Prinzing said. But helping others and being eco-friendly can actually make life more fun.
His study was made up of two smaller studies.
In the first study, 181 adults from 14 countries shared their daily activities and talked about how they felt for 10 days. The study found people felt happier on days when they did something good for the Earth.
Prinzing’s second study looked at 545 college students in the US. They were put into three groups—one group did eco-friendly activities, another did fun activities, and the third just had a normal day. After two days, people in both the eco-friendly group and the fun activity group felt much happier than those in the third group.
These studies suggest that helping the Earth helps people feel good.
Each study only took place over a few days, so more research is needed to see if the effects last longer. But either way, doing something good for the Earth could make your day better
23. What does the word “eco-friendly” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?
A. Harmful to nature. B. Good for the Earth. C. Friendly to animals. D. Common in daily life.
24. How many people took part in Michael Prinzing’s two studies?
A. 14. B. 181. C. 545. D. 726.
25. Which can we learn from the research by Michael Prinzing?
A. Most people aren’t interested in eco-friendly activities.
B. Living an eco-friendly life always means giving up things.
C. Those who often do eco-friendly things may feel happier.
D. The effects of eco-friendly activities on happiness last for a long time.
26. What is the writer’s purpose in writing this passage?
A. To encourage people to take part in fun activities.
B. To compare different ways of getting happiness.
C. To tell people about the difficulty of eco-friendly life.
D. To introduce a study on eco-friendly activities and happiness.
【答案】23. B 24. D 25. C 26. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一项关于环保活动如何影响人们幸福感的新研究,研究表明环保行为同样能带来快乐。
【23题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第一段中“helping the environment—picking up trash, using less plastic, or walking instead of driving”可知,这些行为都是对环境有益的。再结合第二段中“how eco-friendly activities affect happiness”可推断,“eco-friendly”意为“对环境友好的”,即“Good for the Earth”。故选B。
【24题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段和第五段可知,第一个研究有181名成年人参与,第二个研究有545名大学生参与。因此总参与人数为181 + 545 = 726人。故选D。
【25题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一个研究的发现“people felt happier on days when they did something good for the Earth”和第二个研究的结论“people in both the eco-friendly group and the fun activity group felt much happier than those in the third group”可知,做环保活动的人感觉更快乐。C选项表述正确。故选C。
【26题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文可知,文章主要介绍了一项关于环保活动与幸福感关系的研究,包括研究过程、方法和结果。因此作者的写作目的是介绍这项研究。故选D。

①Zheng Qingyun and his team are trying to help deaf people experience sounds. They’ve invented VirtX, a special suit (套装) that lets deaf people feel sounds. This suit uses special technology to make touch feelings from sounds.
②The World Health Organization says over 1.5 billion people all over the world have hearing problems, which may rise to over 2.5 billion by 2030. In China, over 15% of people also have hearing problems, about 206 million in total.
③Zheng, a 24-year-old student, said they decided to develop a product to help people sense sounds through touch. They used soft things like fabric (织物), with each thread (线) connected to a switch (开关).
④“Clothing is a good way to bring this technology into people’s daily lives. What’s more important is that it can improve people’s lives,” Zheng said. In the beginning, they wanted to help people with eye and hearing problems through touch. The outside part of the suit also has touch marks to help the people who can only see a little.
⑤Deaf people often can’t tell where sounds come from and this makes it hard for them to know what’s around. For example, when a car passes by, most people can know its place and how far it is by sound. But deaf people are not able to tell these things.
⑥VirtX tries to offer this information through touch to improve deaf people’s daily life. ________ For example, noisy places may mess up the suit’s touch. So far, customers’ opinions have encouraged them to make products for more people and use the technology in many social areas like fun games, training, and medicine.
⑦This year, the VirtX design won the top prize at the James Dyson Award in China.
27. What is VirtX according to the passage?
A. To make fabric comfortable for deaf people.
B. To help deaf people “feel” sounds through touch.
C. To design fashionable clothing for disabled people.
D. To help people with hearing loss by using good medicine.
28. What does the example in Paragraph 5 show?
A. Cars are always dangerous for deaf people.
B. Sound is the only way to know how far a car is.
C. Deaf people need help to know the things around them.
D. Most people are good at telling how far a car is by sound.
29. Which sentence can be put in “______” in the passage?
A. The suit has already helped thousands of deaf people around China.
B. Though it has a good future, there are still challenges with the technology.
C. They spent three years making the first VirtX suit and tested it many times.
D. Deaf people can wear the suit easily and it doesn’t cost too much money.
30. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. The history of hearing loss research. B. A plan for meeting disabled people’s needs.
C. A technical way to improve deaf people’s lives. D. The discussion of future technology for deaf people.
【答案】27. B 28. C 29. B 30. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是说明文。主要介绍了郑青云及其团队发明的特殊套装VirtX,该套装借助触摸技术帮助听障人士感知声音,同时提及了听障人群现状、套装技术特点、目前面临的挑战及所获荣誉。
【27题详解】
细节理解题。根据“They’ve invented VirtX, a special suit (套装) that lets deaf people feel sounds. This suit uses special technology to make touch feelings from sounds”可知,VirtX是一款通过触摸让听障人士“感受”声音的特殊套装。故选B。
【28题详解】
推理判断题。第⑤段开头提到“Deaf people often can’t tell where sounds come from and this makes it hard for them to know what’s around”,随后以“汽车经过时听障人士无法通过声音判断汽车位置和距离”为例,是为了具体说明听障人士在了解周围事物时存在困难,需要帮助。故选C。
29题详解】
推理判断题。横线后句子“For example, noisy places may mess up the suit’s touch”举例说明嘈杂环境会影响套装的触摸效果,这属于套装技术目前面临的问题。B选项“尽管它前景良好,但这项技术仍面临挑战”能够衔接上下文,引出后文对挑战的具体说明。故选B。
【30题详解】
主旨大意题。文章围绕郑青云团队发明的VirtX套装展开,介绍了该套装通过触摸技术帮助听障人士感知声音、改善生活的功能,同时提及技术细节、听障人群现状及挑战,核心是“一种改善听障人士生活的技术方法”。故选C。

A new study found that helping the environment—picking up trash, using less plastic, or walking instead of driving—can make people just as happy as doing activities like hobbies.
In his research, Michael Prinzing from Baylor University in Texas looked at how eco-friendly activities affect (影响) happiness.
“Many people think it’s hard to live in an eco-friendly way because it means giving up comfort,” Prinzing said. But helping others and being eco-friendly can actually make life more fun.
His study was made up of two smaller studies.
In the first study, 181 adults from 14 countries shared their daily activities and talked about how they felt for 10 days. The study found people felt happier on days when they did something good for the Earth.
Prinzing’s second study looked at 545 college students in the US. They were put into three groups—one group did eco-friendly activities, another did fun activities, and the third just had a normal day. After two days, people in both the eco-friendly group and the fun activity group felt much happier than those in the third group.
These studies suggest that helping the Earth helps people feel good.
Each study only took place over a few days, so more research is needed to see if the effects last longer. But either way, doing something good for the Earth could make your day better
23. What does the word “eco-friendly” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?
A. Harmful to nature. B. Good for the Earth. C. Friendly to animals. D. Common in daily life.
24. How many people took part in Michael Prinzing’s two studies?
A. 14. B. 181. C. 545. D. 726.
25. Which can we learn from the research by Michael Prinzing?
A. Most people aren’t interested in eco-friendly activities.
B. Living an eco-friendly life always means giving up things.
C. Those who often do eco-friendly things may feel happier.
D. The effects of eco-friendly activities on happiness last for a long time.
26. What is the writer’s purpose in writing this passage?
A. To encourage people to take part in fun activities.
B To compare different ways of getting happiness.
C. To tell people about the difficulty of eco-friendly life.
D. To introduce a study on eco-friendly activities and happiness.

①Zheng Qingyun and his team are trying to help deaf people experience sounds. They’ve invented VirtX, a special suit (套装) that lets deaf people feel sounds. This suit uses special technology to make touch feelings from sounds.
②The World Health Organization says over 1.5 billion people all over the world have hearing problems, which may rise to over 2.5 billion by 2030. In China, over 15% of people also have hearing problems, about 206 million in total.
③Zheng, a 24-year-old student, said they decided to develop a product to help people sense sounds through touch. They used soft things like fabric (织物), with each thread (线) connected to a switch (开关).
④“Clothing is a good way to bring this technology into people’s daily lives. What’s more important is that it can improve people’s lives,” Zheng said. In the beginning, they wanted to help people with eye and hearing problems through touch. The outside part of the suit also has touch marks to help the people who can only see a little.
⑤Deaf people often can’t tell where sounds come from and this makes it hard for them to know what’s around. For example, when a car passes by, most people can know its place and how far it is by sound. But deaf people are not able to tell these things.
⑥VirtX tries to offer this information through touch to improve deaf people’s daily life. ________ For example, noisy places may mess up the suit’s touch. So far, customers’ opinions have encouraged them to make products for more people and use the technology in many social areas like fun games, training, and medicine.
⑦This year, the VirtX design won the top prize at the James Dyson Award in China.
27. What is VirtX according to the passage?
A. To make fabric comfortable for deaf people.
B. To help deaf people “feel” sounds through touch.
C. To design fashionable clothing for disabled people.
D. To help people with hearing loss by using good medicine.
28. What does the example in Paragraph 5 show?
A. Cars are always dangerous for deaf people.
B. Sound is the only way to know how far a car is.
C. Deaf people need help to know the things around them.
D. Most people are good at telling how far a car is by sound.
29. Which sentence can be put in “______” in the passage?
A. The suit has already helped thousands of deaf people around China.
B. Though it has a good future, there are still challenges with the technology.
C. They spent three years making the first VirtX suit and tested it many times.
D. Deaf people can wear the suit easily and it doesn’t cost too much money.
30. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. The history of hearing loss research. B. A plan for meeting disabled people’s needs.
C. A technical way to improve deaf people’s lives. D. The discussion of future technology for deaf people.

We spend most of our time with friends we like. ____31____ By being with some people just once, you start to like them. If you want to be a person like them, you should learn how to have the qualities (品质) that they have.
Firstly, everybody wants to be happy, and nobody wants to spend their time with an unhappy person. Well, you see, there is a connection between people’s feelings. ____32____ So if you are a happy person, many people will want to spend their time with you.
____33____ Because sometimes in our lives we meet bad things. So if you always choose to make others happy with nice words or actions, they would like to spend time with you.
Lastly, you are not a friend if you don’t give a hand to your friends when they need help. You should always be helpful. Then they will be there for you, too.
It feels good if people want to be your friends. ____34____ Start doing it now and make more friends!
A Different people have different ideas.

C. Next, everybody needs someone to give support to them.
