一、阅读理解
Social interactions are essential for our well-being and happiness, research has shown.
And now a large study supports that finding and suggests there are many ways to squeeze in more companionship — and happiness — into our busy lives.
The study found that across more than 80 different types of activities, people reported being happier doing almost anything with other people than doing it alone.
The activities ranged from the simple everyday things — getting gas, doing homework, commuting, grocery shopping — to ones that may not seem like social activities, such as reading, doing car repairs or managing finances.
“What we see is that participants consistently rate every common daily activity as more enjoyable when they’ re interacting with somebody else,” said Elizabeth Dunn, a psychology professor at the University of British Columbia and senior author of the study, published in August in Social Psychological and Personality Science.
Even researchers who study the positive effects of social interactions did not expect the effects to be so widespread. “I was still surprised by the magnitude and extremity of the effects,” said Nicholas Epley, a professor of behavioral science at the University of Chicago who researches how we often underestimate the impact of socializing and was not involved in the study.
“Because so many different activities with others are associated with a happiness boost, the research suggests that we are leaving some happiness on the table by engaging in everyday activities alone,” Dunn said.
1.What main finding did the study get?
A.Doing almost any activity with others makes people happier.
B.People feel happier doing most activities alone than with others.
C.Social interactions are only important for people’s physical health.
D.Only exciting activities can bring happiness when done with others.
2.Which of the following activities is NOT mentioned as part of the study?
A.Buying food. B.Handling money.
C.Traveling to work or school. D.Having a long-distance trip.
3.Why was Nicholas Epley surprised by the study’s results?
A.The study only focused on a small number of daily activities.
B.He found that people always overestimate the impact of socializing.
C.He found that the positive effects of socializing were so far-reaching.
D.The study showed that solo activities are more enjoyable than group activities.
4.What does Elizabeth Dunn mean by saying “we are leaving some happiness on the table”?
A.People are wasting food that could bring happiness when shared.
B.People should put more happiness in a physical “table” for storage.
C.People are missing out on happiness by doing daily activities alone.
D.People need to spend more money on social activities to get happiness.
【答案】1.A 2.D 3.C 4.C
【导语】这是一篇说明文。介绍了一项大型心理学研究,该研究发现与他人共同进行日常活动能显著提升幸福感。
1.细节理解题。根据第三段“The study found that across more than 80 different types of activities, people reported being happier doing almost anything with other people than doing it alone. (研究发现,在80多种不同类型的活动中,人们报告说,几乎做任何事时,与他人一起都比独自一人更快乐)”可知,几乎所有事情和别人一起做都更快乐。故选A项。
2.细节理解题。根据第四段“The activities ranged from the simple everyday things — getting gas, doing homework, commuting, grocery shopping — to ones that may not seem like social activities, such as reading, doing car repairs or managing finances. (这些活动包括简单的日常生活,如加油、做作业、上下班、购物,也包括一些看起来不像是社交活动的活动,如阅读、修车或理财)”可知,A选项Buying food对应grocery shopping,B选项Handling money对应managing finances,C选项Traveling to work or school对应commuting。故选D项。
3.细节理解题。根据倒数第二段““I was still surprised by the magnitude and extremity of the effects,” said Nicholas Epley (Nicholas Epley说:“我仍然对这些影响的规模和极端程度感到惊讶。”)”可知,Nicholas Epley惊讶于社交活动带来的积极效应的广度和强度,即他没想到其影响如此深远。故选C项。
4.推理判断题。根据最后一段“Because so many different activities with others are associated with a happiness boost, the research suggests that we are leaving some happiness on the table by engaging in everyday activities alone (因为和别人一起做很多不同的活动都能提升幸福感,所以研究表明,我们独自参加日常活动会让我们失去一些幸福感)”可知,人们因独自进行日常活动而错失幸福。故选C项。
二、七选五
We use plastics to make many things, from medical equipment to TVs to food packaging. At the end of their useful life, most plastic products are thrown away. 5 This causes problems, especially for the world’s oceans. Scientists are working to solve the problems. But in the meantime, here are four things you can do to reduce plastic waste now.
Quit using plastic bags. Instead, take your own reusable shopping bags to the store. People use a trillion (1,000 billion) plastic bags worldwide every year. About 10 percent are used in the United States alone. That’s almost one bag per American per day. Meanwhile, a Dane uses four single-use bags per year on average. 6 Today, other countries either make customers pay for plastic bags, or have banned them completely.
Skip the straw (吸管). Today, around 8.3 billion plastic straws pollute the world’s beaches. We should do something to turn over the situation. So when you order a drink, you can say no to the straw. 7 In 2018, Seattle became the first major US city to stop using plastic straws, and many other cities are set to follow its example.
8 Buy bar soap instead of liquid soap in plastic containers. Don’t buy fruit or vegetables on plastic packaging. In the United Kingdom, leaders are calling for supermarkets to have plastic-free areas. They also want to tax plastic take-out containers.
Recycle. 9 But it is possible to recycle most plastic bottles and milk or juice boxes. Today, Norway recycles 97 percent of its plastic bottles. How? Machines at most supermarkets take the bottles and give a refund of up to 32 cents per bottle.
A.Avoid plastic packaging.
B.Set up plastic-free areas.
C.We can’t recycle all plastic products.
D.We can’t stop recycling plastic bottles.
E.You can also bring your own reusable one.
F.In 1993, Denmark was the first country to place a tax on plastic bags.
G.These plastics then break down into smaller pieces that can last for centuries.
【答案】5.G 6.F 7.E 8.A 9.C
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍塑料废弃物带来的问题,并给出减少塑料垃圾的四种实用方法。
5.上文“We use plastics to make many things, from medical equipment to TVs to food packaging. At the end of their useful life, most plastic products are thrown away.(我们用塑料制造很多东西,从医疗设备、电视到食品包装。在使用寿命结束时,大多数塑料制品都会被丢弃)”说明塑料制品最终会被丢弃;下文“This causes problems, especially for the world’s oceans.(这会带来问题,尤其是对世界海洋而言)”指出其造成的危害,空处需衔接“丢弃塑料”与“造成危害”的逻辑。选项G“这些塑料随后会分解成细小的碎片,能持续存在几个世纪。”既说明塑料丢弃后的变化,又解释了危害的根源,符合语境。故选G。
6.上文“Meanwhile, a Dane uses four single-use bags per year on average.(与此同时,丹麦人平均每年使用四个一次性塑料袋)”提到丹麦的情况;下文“Today, other countries either make customers pay for plastic bags, or have banned them completely.(如今,其他国家要么让顾客为塑料袋付费,要么完全禁止使用塑料袋)”说明其他国家的举措,空处需承接丹麦的做法,且体现其引领性。选项F“1993年,丹麦成为第一个对塑料袋征税的国家。”既呼应丹麦的低使用量,又为下文其他国家的举措做铺垫,逻辑连贯。故选F。
7.上文 So when you order a drink, you can say no to the straw.(所以当你点饮料时,你可以拒绝吸管)”给出拒绝使用塑料吸管的建议;下文“In 2018, Seattle became the first major US city to stop using plastic straws, and many other cities are set to follow its example.(2018年,西雅图成为美国第一个停止使用塑料吸管的主要城市,许多其他城市也准备效仿)”介绍城市层面的举措,空处需补充个人层面的另一种做法。选项E“你也可以带上自己的可重复使用吸管。”与 “拒绝塑料吸管”构成并列建议,符合语境。故选E。
8.空处为本段主旨句,下文“Buy bar soap instead of liquid soap in plastic containers. Don’t buy fruit or vegetables on plastic packaging.(购买块状肥皂,而不是塑料容器装的液体肥皂。不要购买塑料包装的水果或蔬菜)”围绕“避免塑料包装”展开建议,空处需概括核心观点。选项A“避免塑料包装。”点明主题,与下文内容高度契合。故选A。
9.下文“But it is possible to recycle most plastic bottles and milk or juice boxes.(但大多数塑料瓶和牛奶盒或果汁盒是可以回收的)”说明部分塑料可回收,由此可知并非所有塑料制品都可以回收。选项C“我们不能回收所有的塑料制品。” 既呼应“回收”主题,又与下文的转折逻辑一致,符合语境。故选C。
三、完形填空
After a decade at a celebrated Wall Street bank, I hit a career ceiling. Determined to break free from the 9-to-5 routine, I was desperate to pursue something more fulfilling. Despite being deaf, I refused to let limitations 10 me.

Over five months, every interviewer 13 me: “80% of newcomers fail.” “You lack experience.” Their distrust only fueled my determination.

Seizing the moment, I locked eyes with him directly and declared, “If you don’t hire me, you’ll never know what I’m 15 of.”
After a long pause, he agreed — but on one condition: “To proceed, you must immediately resign from your current job, complete our three-month training, and pass the Series 7 exam perfectly on the first attempt — no second chances.”
Taking a deep breath, I accepted. Three months later, seeing “Passed” on the screen, I finally breathed a sigh of 16 .
To everyone’s astonishment, I not only succeeded but excelled, achieving a 1,700% sales increase and earning industry 17 . Years later, I took another risk: leaving 18 to become a speaker and writer. My journey proved Thoreau’s wisdom: “If one 19 confidently in the direction of his dreams, he will meet success unexpected in common hours.”

We use plastics to make many things, from medical equipment to TVs to food packaging. At the end of their useful life, most plastic products are thrown away. 5 This causes problems, especially for the world’s oceans. Scientists are working to solve the problems. But in the meantime, here are four things you can do to reduce plastic waste now.
Quit using plastic bags. Instead, take your own reusable shopping bags to the store. People use a trillion (1,000 billion) plastic bags worldwide every year. About 10 percent are used in the United States alone. That’s almost one bag per American per day. Meanwhile, a Dane uses four single-use bags per year on average. 6 Today, other countries either make customers pay for plastic bags, or have banned them completely.
Skip the straw (吸管). Today, around 8.3 billion plastic straws pollute the world’s beaches. We should do something to turn over the situation. So when you order a drink, you can say no to the straw. 7 In 2018, Seattle became the first major US city to stop using plastic straws, and many other cities are set to follow its example.
8 Buy bar soap instead of liquid soap in plastic containers. Don’t buy fruit or vegetables on plastic packaging. In the United Kingdom, leaders are calling for supermarkets to have plastic-free areas. They also want to tax plastic take-out containers.
Recycle. 9 But it is possible to recycle most plastic bottles and milk or juice boxes. Today, Norway recycles 97 percent of its plastic bottles. How? Machines at most supermarkets take the bottles and give a refund of up to 32 cents per bottle.
A.Avoid plastic packaging.
B.Set up plastic-free areas.
C.We can’t recycle all plastic products.
D.We can’t stop recycling plastic bottles.
E.You can also bring your own reusable one.
F.In 1993, Denmark was the first country to place a tax on plastic bags.
G.These plastics then break down into smaller pieces that can last for centuries.

After a decade at a celebrated Wall Street bank, I hit a career ceiling. Determined to break free from the 9-to-5 routine, I was desperate to pursue something more fulfilling. Despite being deaf, I refused to let limitations 10 me.

Taking a deep breath, I accepted. Three months later, seeing “Passed” on the screen, I finally breathed a sigh of 16 .
