【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】考查定语从句和介词辨析。句意:耐力、毅力、勤奋和才干是人们实现伟大目标的手段。空格处引导定语从句,先行词为means(手段),指物,人们实现伟大目标是“凭借”前面提到的手段的,因此可以确定介词为by,which指代先行词作宾语。故选B项。

第二部分:阅读理解 (共20小题;每小题2分;满分40分)
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中,选出最佳答案。
A
If you’re new to a school or you are shy or tend to not get out of your comfort zone, making new friends at school might seem like a challenge. Luckily, you can overcome that challenge by looking for people with the same interests as you and by being friendly when you meet new people. Also, participate in after-school clubs and events whenever you get the chance, since that will help you meet people outside of class!
Look for people who have the same hobbies as you.
You’re more likely to be friends with someone if you have something in common with them. Try to find clubs or groups based on your favorite hobbies, then join them to meet like-minded people. Also, pay attention to people who spend their free time doing the same things you love to do.
If you’re a passionate reader, join a book club, go to public readings, or start a conversation with someone who carries novels around with their textbooks.
Spend time around people who show kindness.
Finding someone who will treat you well and support you is more important than popularity. Avoid spending time with people who talk bad about others or put them down. Instead, look for people who invite others to sit with them at lunch, who encourage others when they speak up in class, or who are always willing to help when someone needs a hand.
Introduce yourself to new people whenever possible.
When you’re around someone you don’t know, it is not unusual to just sit there quietly, especially if you’re shy. However, you and the other person will both be more comfortable after a simple introduction. Make eye contact with the person, smile, and try to seem warm and relaxed instead of nervous or anxious. Then, break the ice by talking about whatever is going on around you.
Keep the conversation going with open-ended questions.
When you start talking to someone, try asking them questions about what they like to see what you have in common with them. However, avoid simply asking yes or no questions, since one-word answers don’t necessarily keep a conversation alive. You can ask questions about whatever you’re already talking about, or you can change the subject if you feel that ran its course.
36. Who is the passage intended for?
A. Teachers. B. Students. C. Parents. D. Adults.
37. If you are fond of reading, you can ________.
A. join a club to make friends
B. approach people with lots of hobbies
C. spend your free time meeting different people

A. One who enjoys the popularity.
B. One who talks bad about others.
C. One who wants to help you.
D. One who always put others down.
39. According to Paragraph 5, what should you do first when you meet someone you don’t know well?
A. Start with a warm handshake.
B. Make eye contact with the person.
C Start with a brief introduction of yourself.
D. Start by talking about a serious topic.
40. You should avoid asking yes or no questions to ________.
A. keep the conversation going B. end the conversation
C. show kindness D. respect others
【答案】36. B 37. D 38. C 39. C 40. A

【38题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第四段“Avoid spending time with people who talk bad about others or put them down. Instead, look for people who invite others to sit with them at lunch, who encourage others when they speak up in class, or who are always willing to help when someone needs a hand.(避免和那些说别人坏话或贬低别人的人呆在一起。相反,寻找那些在午餐时邀请别人坐在一起的人,那些在课堂上鼓励别人发言的人,或者那些在别人需要帮助时总是愿意帮助的人。)”可知,一个想要帮助你的人更有可能成为你的好朋友。故选C项。

细节理解题。根据文章第六段“However, avoid simply asking yes or no questions, since one-word answers don’t necessarily keep a conversation alive.(然而,避免简单地问‘是’或‘否’的问题,因为一个词的回答不一定能让对话保持活力。)”可知,避免问“是”或“否”的问题是为了让交谈继续进行下去。故选A项。

Facebook was running my life.
But what killed Facebook for me was when I posted a photo, and five minutes later my son asked me how many “likes” it had got. His question was a wake-up call.
“Likes” are signs of acceptance and approval. I had forgotten that acceptance and approval need to come from within and had unknowingly set him a bad example.
Before absorbed in Facebook, I spent a lot more time reading books and magazines. I checked in with friends through texts, emails and phone calls.
To set a healthier example to my son, I deactivated my Facebook account.
I’d been in the habit of checking Facebook many times a day, so I had to come up with some new habits. I carried a novel and a crossword puzzle book around with me. I rediscovered knitting. I went to the gym to take yoga classes.
I started to remember a few things. My body is fine just the way it is. I have friends who will help me out when I’m in trouble, and I will help them out. I do my best to be a good mother, and our son is happy and healthy. We are very lucky to be able to afford two vacations a year.
I stopped looking at the world through my cellphone. I felt completely present in the moment. The break left me feeling better about myself, my family, my home and my life.
After a few weeks, I returned to Facebook. Now I look at the photos of my friends’ kids growing up and treasure how social media allows me to keep in touch with family. I no longer have the desire to post updates often.
It is not an addiction any more.
41. What made the author begin to realize she should do something to control her time on Facebook?
A. Her poor health. B. Her son’s question.
C. Her not receiving “likes”. D. Her mother’s phone call.
42. The underlined word “deactivate” in Paragraph 5 probably means ________.
A. to close B. to update C. to keep D. to check
43. What did the author do to change her life?
A. She tried to be a good mother.
B. She developed some healthy habits.
C. She planned two vacations a year.
D. She went to the gym as often as she could.
44. What did the author think of her break from Facebook?
A. It stopped her getting news.
B. It distanced her from her friends.
C. It helped her contact with the family.
D. It gave her time to find beauty in life.
45. What is the author’s attitude toward social media?
A. She supports them completely.
B. She is strongly against them.
C. She thinks they are useful but shouldn’t be overused.
D. She thinks they’re good ways to watch kids grow up.
【答案】41. B 42. A 43. B 44. D 45. C
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇记叙文。主要记叙了作者一次在Facebook上传了照片后,儿子问作者得到了多少赞,从而让作者意识到她应该做些什么来控制她在Facebook上的时间。于是作者关闭了Facebook账号,开始重新培养新的健康习惯,这让她重新发现了生活中的美好,更加珍惜当下。
【41题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段But what killed Facebook for me was when I posted a photo, and five minutes later my son asked me how many “likes” it had got. His question was a wake-up call.可知但真正让我对Facebook失去兴趣的是我上传了一张照片,五分钟后我儿子问我这张照片得到了多少“赞”。他的问题敲响了警钟。以及第二段中I had forgotten that acceptance and approval need to come from within and had unknowingly set him a bad example.可知我忘记了接受和认可需要发自内心,不知不觉地给他树立了一个坏榜样。由此可推知,作者儿子的问题让作者开始意识到她应该做些什么来控制她在Facebook上的时间。故选B。
【42题详解】
词义猜测题。根据上文To set a healthier example to my son以及后文my Facebook account可知为了给儿子树立一个健康的榜样,作者关闭了自己的Facebook账号。后文作者决定养成新的习惯也证明了这一点。故划线单词意思为“关闭”。故选A。

Some of the recent scientific studies have found that people who receive higher education live longer than those who do not. According to a new study, reading books extends lifespan (寿命) by up to two years, and the more often you read, the better.
Back in 1975, economists concluded that longer lifespan is linked to the wealth of a person, and that wealth itself increases longevity. It seemed self-evident: everything people need to be healthy from food to medical care costs money. But soon it was realized that the data didn’t always fit that theory. Economic success didn’t always mean longer lives. In the 1980s, researchers found gaining higher education is connected with a greater increase in lifespan than gains in wealth.
One fact is of teachers and college professors: they live longer than the rest of the population. The reason is that they engage in research most of their lives for teaching or publishing, which increases their lifespanand most importantly also retards their aging process.
Let’s look at what benefits educated people. Educated people get routinely involved in social networks; they get access to information because of their ability to understand information. They can easily navigate the health care system; they have more social support.
Reading helps us understand how other people think and feel. Reading improves our emotional intelligence. This understanding can improve the quality of a person’s life as it would allow the person to act with better judgment and have more insight into the feelings and thought patterns of others. Research has shown that reading changes certain areas of the brain and causes certain other parts to be active. This effect can also be observed in adults who learn to read much later in life. Learning has no age bar. Each and every human is born with the right to be educated. So, don’t hold back your urge to learn. The goal of education is to improve intelligence as well as the lifespan.
46. What conclusion did economists in 1975 draw?
A. People need high-quality food to keep healthy.
B. Medical care costs more money than food.
C. Most old people have the habit of reading.
D. Wealthy people tend to live longer.
47 What did researchers find in the 1980s?
A. Health has nothing to do with wealth.
B. Education does affect people’s lifespan.
C. Economic success always belongs to professors.
D. Children from poor families can rarely gain higher education.
48. What does the underlined word “retards” in Paragraph 3 mean?
A. Speeds up. B. Turns back.
C. Slows down. D. Contributes to.
49. What is the advantage of educated people according to Paragraph 4?
A. They are more connected to the society.
B. They can set up their own health care system.
C. They learn more about human body and medical care.
D. They are skilled in doing research through social networks.
50. What can we know about reading from the last paragraph?
A. It can help people understand humans’ brain better.
B. It is beneficial to people’s EQ and brain health.
C. It can change a person’s lifestyle completely.
D. It is effective against cancer.

【46题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段的“Back in 1975, economists concluded that longer lifespan is linked to the wealth of a person, and that wealth itself increases longevity. (早在1975年,经济学家们就得出结论,寿命的延长与个人的财富有关,而财富本身也能延长寿命)”可知,1975年经济学家们的结论是:财富能让人长寿。故选D。
【47题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段的“In the 1980s, researchers found gaining higher education is connected with a greater increase in lifespan than gains in wealth.(上世纪80年代,研究人员发现,接受高等教育与寿命延长的关系要大于财富增长)”可知,20世纪80年代研究人员发现教育的确能影响人的寿命。故选B。
【48题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第三段“One fact is of teachers and college professors: they live longer than the rest of the population.

Do you want to live with a strong sense of peacefulness, happiness, goodness, and self- respect? The collection of happiness actions broadly categorized as "honor" help you create this life of good feelings.
Here's an example to show how honorable actions create happiness
Say a store clerk fails to charge us for an item. If we keep silent, and profit from the clerk's mistake, we would drive home with a sense of sneaky excitement. Later we might tell our family or friends about our good fortune. On the other hand, if we tell the clerk about the uncharged item, the clerk would be grateful and thank us for our honesty. We would leave the store with a quiet sense of honor that we might never share with another soul.
Then, what is it to do with our sense of happiness?
In the first case, where we don't tell the clerk, a couple of things would happen. Deep down inside we would know ourselves as a type of thief. In the process, we would lose some peace of mind and self-respect. We would also demonstrate that we cannot lie trusted, since we advertise our dishonor by telling our family and friends. We damage our own reputations by telling others. In contrast, bringing the error to the clerk's attention causes different things to happen. Immediately the clerk knows us to be honorable. Upon leaving the store, we feel honorable and our self-respect is increased. Whenever we take honorable action we gain the deep internal rewards of goodness and a sense of nobility.
There is a beautiful positive cycle that is created by living a life of honorable actions. Honorable thoughts lead to honorable actions. Honorable actions lead us to a happier existence. And it's easy to think and act honorably again when we're happy. While the positive cycle can be difficult to start, once it's started, it's easy to continue. Keeping on doing good deeds brings us peace of mind, which is important for our happiness.
51. According to the passage, the positive action in the example contributes to our
A. self-respect B. financial rewards C. advertising ability D. friendly relationship
52. The author thinks that keeping silent about the uncharged item is equal to___.
A. lying B. stealing C. cheating D. advertising
53. The phrase "bringing the error to the clerk's attention" (in para. 5) means___.
A. telling the truth to the clerk B. offering advice to the clerk
C. asking the clerk to be more attentive D. reminding the clerk of the charged item
54. How will we feel if we let the clerk know her mistake?
A. We'll be very excited. B. We'll feel unfortunate.
C. We'll have a sense of honor. D. We'll feel sorry for the clerk.
55. Which of the following can be the best title of this passage.*
A. How to Live Truthfully B. Importance of Peacefulness
C. Ways of Gaining Self-respect D. Happiness through Honorable Actions
【答案】51. A 52. B 53. A 54. C 55. D
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章作者通过举例说明高尚的行为会为你带来快乐。
【51题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段中“Upon leaving the store, we feel honorable and our self-respect is increased.”( 一离开商店,我们就觉得很光荣,自尊心也增强了)可知积极的行为可以增强我们的自尊心。故选A。
【52题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段中的“In the first case,when we don’t tell the clerk,a couple of things would happen.Deep down inside we would know ourselves as a type of thief.”( 在第一种情况下,我们不告诉店员,会发生几件事。在内心深处,我们知道自己是一种小偷)可知作者认为如果对没有付款的东西保持沉默,是一种盗窃行为。故选B。
【53题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第五段中的“Immediately the clerk knows us to be honorable.”(店员立刻就知道我们是可敬的)可知“bringing the error to the clerk’s attention”意思是“告诉售货员真相”。故选A。
【54题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段中的“Upon leaving the store,we feel honorable and our self-respect is increased.”( 一离开商店,我们就觉得很光荣,自尊心也增强了)可知如果我们让售货员知道了她的错误,我们会有一种荣誉感。故选C。
【55题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段The collection of happiness actions broadly categorized as “honor” help you create this life of good feelings.(这些被广泛归类为“荣誉”的快乐行为可以帮助你创造美好的生活)结合下文举例说明了这个主题,可知这篇文章主要讲了高尚的行为会为你带来快乐,所以短文的最好的题目是Happiness through Honorable Actions(高尚行为带来的幸福)。故选D。
第Ⅱ卷(非选择题,三部分,共25分)
第一部分:阅读表达 (共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)
阅读下面短文,并根据短文内容完成下列各题。
In a recent business magazine, a president said, laughter in the workplace is a waste of time. This is a place to do business, not to laugh. Some researchers, however, disagree with his words. As scientists have learned more about the brain, they’ve discovered that smiles and laughter stimulate (刺激) the brain, which can help increase happiness and reduce pain.
Why do we need laughter in our lives? Laughter is a powerful tool for our health. In a number of studies that were carried out, it was shown that people who are more humorous have stronger immune systems (免疫系统) while people who feel stressed have weaker immune systems. Humor can help make your immune systems stronger.
Here are some tips to add more humor to your life:
Laugh at yourself. Don’t take yourself too seriously. Have a positive attitude towards yourself and your worries will become lighter too.
Don’t worry when people laugh — just appreciate it. Be funny. Look for the humorous side of and otherwise difficult situation.
Prepare a first-aid laughter source. This could include books, cartoons, CDs or videos. Write down the amusing things that happen and save them for a sad day.
Be open to silly things. Humor is the child within yourself. Laugh with others for what they do, rather than what they are.
Research has shown that laughter is indeed the best medicine, so make time for humor now.
56. According to the passage, how do people benefit from laughter? (No more than 15 words.)
____________________________________________________________________________________________
57. According to the passage, why can humor help people stay healthy? (No more than 15 words.)

58. Please explain the underlined word “stressed” in English. (No more than 4 words.)
____________________________________________________________________________________________
59. According to the passage, why should we prepare a first-aid laughter source? (No more than 10 words.)

____________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】56. It increases happiness and reduces pain.
57. It strengthens people’s immune systems.
58. Feeling pressured.
59. To use it on a sad day.
60. Laughter is a good medicine.

第二部分:阅读理解 (共20小题;每小题2分;满分40分)
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中,选出最佳答案。
A
If you’re new to a school or you are shy or tend to not get out of your comfort zone making new friends at school might seem like a challenge. Luckily, you can overcome that challenge by looking for people with the same interests as you and by being friendly when you meet new people. Also, participate in after-school clubs and events whenever you get the chance, since that will help you meet people outside of class!
Look for people who have the same hobbies as you.
You’re more likely to be friends with someone if you have something in common with them. Try to find clubs or groups based on your favorite hobbies, then join them to meet like-minded people. Also, pay attention to people who spend their free time doing the same things you love to do.
If you’re a passionate reader, join a book club, go to public readings, or start a conversation with someone who carries novels around with their textbooks.
Spend time around people who show kindness.
Finding someone who will treat you well and support you is more important than popularity. Avoid spending time with people who talk bad about others or put them down. Instead, look for people who invite others to sit with them at lunch, who encourage others when they speak up in class, or who are always willing to help when someone needs a hand.
Introduce yourself to new people whenever possible
When you’re around someone you don’t know, it is not unusual to just sit there quietly, especially if you’re shy. However, you and the other person will both be more comfortable after a simple introduction. Make eye contact with the person, smile, and try to seem warm and relaxed instead of nervous or anxious. Then, break the ice by talking about whatever is going on around you.
Keep the conversation going with open-ended questions.
When you start talking to someone, try asking them questions about what they like to see what you have in common with them. However, avoid simply asking yes or no questions, since one-word answers don’t necessarily keep a conversation alive. You can ask questions about whatever you’re already talking about, or you can change the subject if you feel that ran its course.
36. Who is the passage intended for?
A. Teachers. B. Students. C. Parents. D. Adults.
37. If you are fond of reading, you can ________.
A. join a club to make friends

Facebook was running my life.
But what killed Facebook for me was when I posted a photo, and five minutes later my son asked me how many “likes” it had got. His question was a wake-up call.
“Likes” are signs of acceptance and approval. I had forgotten that acceptance and approval need to come from within and had unknowingly set him a bad example.
Before absorbed in Facebook, I spent a lot more time reading books and magazines. I checked in with friends through texts, emails and phone calls.
To set a healthier example to my son, I deactivated my Facebook account.
I’d been in the habit of checking Facebook many times a day, so I had to come up with some new habits. I carried a novel and a crossword puzzle book around with me. I rediscovered knitting. I went to the gym to take yoga classes.
I started to remember a few things. My body is fine just the way it is. I have friends who will help me out when I’m in trouble, and I will help them out. I do my best to be a good mother, and our son is happy and healthy. We are very lucky to be able to afford two vacations a year.
I stopped looking at the world through my cellphone. I felt completely present in the moment. The break left me feeling better about myself, my family, my home and my life.
After a few weeks, I returned to Facebook. Now I look at the photos of my friends’ kids growing up and treasure how social media allows me to keep in touch with family. I no longer have the desire to post updates often.
It is not an addiction any more.
41. What made the author begin to realize she should do something to control her time on Facebook?

B. It distanced her from her friends.
C. It helped her contact with the family.
D. It gave her time to find beauty in life.

Some of the recent scientific studies have found that people who receive higher education live longer than those who do not. According to a new study, reading books extends lifespan (寿命) by up to two years, and the more often you read, the better.
Back in 1975, economists concluded that longer lifespan is linked to the wealth of a person, and that wealth itself increases longevity. It seemed self-evident: everything people need to be healthy from food to medical care costs money. But soon it was realized that the data didn’t always fit that theory. Economic success didn’t always mean longer lives. In the 1980s, researchers found gaining higher education is connected with a greater increase in lifespan than gains in wealth.
One fact is of teachers and college professors: they live longer than the rest of the population. The reason is that they engage in research most of their lives for teaching or publishing which increases their lifespanand most importantly also retards their aging process.
Let’s look at what benefits educated people. Educated people get routinely involved in social networks; they get access to information because of their ability to understand information. They can easily navigate the health care system; they have more social support.
Reading helps us understand how other people think and feel. Reading improves our emotional intelligence. This understanding can improve the quality of a person’s life as it would allow the person to act with better judgment and have more insight into the feelings and thought patterns of others. Research has shown that reading changes certain areas of the brain and causes certain other parts to be active. This effect can also be observed in adults who learn to read much later in life. Learning has no age bar. Each and every human is born with the right to be educated. So, don’t hold back your urge to learn. The goal of education is to improve intelligence as well as the lifespan.
46. What conclusion did economists in 1975 draw?
A. People need high-quality food to keep healthy.
B. Medical care costs more money than food.
C. Most old people have the habit of reading.
D. Wealthy people tend to live longer.
47. What did researchers find in the 1980s?
A. Health has nothing to do with wealth.
B. Education does affect people’s lifespan.
C. Economic success always belongs to professors.
D. Children from poor families can rarely gain higher education.
48. What does the underlined word “retards” in Paragraph 3 mean?
A. Speeds up. B. Turns back.
C. Slows down. D. Contributes to.
49. What is the advantage of educated people according to Paragraph 4?
A. They are more connected to the society.
B. They can set up their own health care system.
C. They learn more about human body and medical care.
D. They are skilled in doing research through social networks.
50. What can we know about reading from the last paragraph?
A. It can help people understand humans’ brain better.
B. It is beneficial to people’s EQ and brain health.
C. It can change a person’s lifestyle completely.
D. It is effective against cancer.

Do you want to live with a strong sense of peacefulness, happiness, goodness, and self- respect? The collection of happiness actions broadly categorized as "honor" help you create this life of good feelings.
Here's an example to show how honorable actions create happiness.
Say a store clerk fails to charge us for an item. If we keep silent, and profit from the clerk's mistake, we would drive home with a sense of sneaky excitement. Later we might tell our family or friends about our good fortune. On the other hand, if we tell the clerk about the uncharged item, the clerk would be grateful and thank us for our honesty. We would leave the store with a quiet sense of honor that we might never share with another soul.
Then, what is it to do with our sense of happiness?
In the first case, where we don't tell the clerk, a couple of things would happen. Deep down inside we would know ourselves as a type of thief. In the process, we would lose some peace of mind and self-respect. We would also demonstrate that we cannot lie trusted, since we advertise our dishonor by telling our family and friends. We damage our own reputations by telling others. In contrast, bringing the error to the clerk's attention causes different things to happen. Immediately the clerk knows us to be honorable. Upon leaving the store, we feel honorable and our self-respect is increased. Whenever we take honorable action we gain the deep internal rewards of goodness and a sense of nobility.
There is a beautiful positive cycle that is created by living a life of honorable actions. Honorable thoughts lead to honorable actions. Honorable actions lead us to a happier existence. And it's easy to think and act honorably again when we're happy. While the positive cycle can be difficult to start, once it's started, it's easy to continue. Keeping on doing good deeds brings us peace of mind, which is important for our happiness.
51. According to the passage, the positive action in the example contributes to our
A. self-respect B. financial rewards C. advertising ability D. friendly relationship
52. The author thinks that keeping silent about the uncharged item is equal to___.
A. lying B. stealing C. cheating D. advertising
53. The phrase "bringing the error to the clerk's attention" (in para. 5) means___.
A. telling the truth to the clerk B. offering advice to the clerk
C. asking the clerk to be more attentive D. reminding the clerk of the charged item
54. How will we feel if we let the clerk know her mistake?
A. We'll be very excited. B. We'll feel unfortunate.
C. We'll have a sense of honor. D. We'll feel sorry for the clerk.
55. Which of the following can be the best title of this passage.*
A. How to Live Truthfully B. Importance of Peacefulness
C. Ways of Gaining Self-respect D. Happiness through Honorable Actions

In a recent business magazine, a president said, laughter in the workplace is a waste of time. This is a place to do business, not to laugh. Some researchers, however, disagree with his words. As scientists have learned more about the brain, they’ve discovered that smiles and laughter stimulate (刺激) the brain, which can help increase happiness and reduce pain.
Why do we need laughter in our lives? Laughter is a powerful tool for our health. In a number of studies that were carried out, it was shown that people who are more humorous have stronger immune systems (免疫系统) while people who feel stressed have weaker immune systems. Humor can help make your immune systems stronger.
Here are some tips to add more humor to your life:
Laugh at yourself. Don’t take yourself too seriously. Have a positive attitude towards yourself and your worries will become lighter too.
Don’t worry when people laugh — just appreciate it. Be funny. Look for the humorous side of and otherwise difficult situation.
Prepare a first-aid laughter source. This could include books, cartoons, CDs or videos. Write down the amusing things that happen and save them for a sad day.
Be open to silly things. Humor is the child within yourself. Laugh with others for what they do, rather than what they are.
Research has shown that laughter is indeed the best medicine, so make time for humor now.
