Sometimes life can seem challenging (挑战) and we usually get the feeling of “the grass on the other side is always greener”! We usually feel upset with the troubles that life throws at us.
The best thing to do at that point of time is to close our eyes and start counting of all the blessings in life that God has given us.
If we think deeply,our life is full of blessings that we hardly recognize. Listening to the singing of birds early in the morning,we realize that there are many people who spend their life in a world that is silent while many others spend their lives in a world that is dark and may have never seen a rainbow or the setting sun.
When you go out for a drive,pull down the window and look at the poor beggar standing under the hot sun,begging for filling his hungry stomach.We get three meals a day without realizing its importance.Isn't that a blessing?
Whenever you are sad,look at the eyes of your parents and family filled with love and concern for you.There are many people who have never experienced the love of a family.Isn't that a blessing?
As Mother Teresa once said,“We don't need to do great things.We need to do small things with great love”.
The key to a happy life is when we consider others' problems to be our own and try to help them.When we love people without any expectations and help them,our heart is filled with a sense of happiness and peace seeing the smile on their face.
So the next time whenever life knocks you down,close your eyes and...start counting!
语篇解读 本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章主要介绍了生活中充满挑战,为此我们会感到沮丧,有时会这山望着那山高,其实我们只需要数数我们被给予的恩典就会懂得知足。
24.What does the author intend to tell us?
A.True happiness lies in achieving wealth.
B.Blessings should be treasured in our life.
C.The singing of birds can make us happy.
D.Love from our family gives us courage to face life.
推理判断题。根据第二段“The best thing to do at that... life that God has given us.”可知,作者告诉我们福气应该在我们的生命中被珍惜。故选B项。
√
25.The underlined part “the grass on the other side is always greener” in Paragraph 1 probably means that .
A.however happy we are,we never seem to be satisfied
B.though we are rich,we are poor in mind
C.we can have a better life if we work harder
D.there exists a greener grass on the other side
句意理解题。根据第一段内容可知,此处表示不管怎样,我们总会心烦意乱,因此“the grass on the other side is always greener”的意思是“无论我们多么快乐,我们似乎从不满足”。故选A项。
√
26.What can be learned from the text?
A.We have already known that life is filled with blessings.
B.It is a blessing to have three meals a day.
C.It's natural to see a rainbow or the setting sun in life.
D.Mother Teresa calls on us to do great things in life.
细节理解题。根据第四段中“We get three meals a day without realizing its importance. Isn't that a blessing?”换句话说,我们能一日吃三餐就是一种福气。故选B项。
√
27.What would be the best title for the text?
A.Troubles in Life B.Secrets of Life
C.A Sense of Happiness D.Count Your Blessings
标题归纳题。根据第二段中“The best thing to do at...in life that God has given us.”以及最后一段中“So the next time whenever life knocks you down,close your eyes and...start counting! ”可知,生活中充满挑战,为此我们会感到沮丧,有时会这山望着那山高。但其实我们只需要数数我们被给予的恩典就会懂得知足。因此,本文最佳标题是Count Your Blessings。故选D项。
√
C
Often when we think of taking some time out and having a little R&R,the image that comes to mind is that of being very still with the aim of moving as little as possible.Rest,we have come to learn,means sitting down,putting our feet up and unburdening ourselves.
This is all good and well,and as a working mother of two,I completely appreciate the physical exhaustion that comes from standing for literally hours followed by the cool wave of relief that radiates from the soles of my feet upwards when I finally sit down.What better way to do that than a day spent doing nothing?
So why,then,do I still find myself exhausted in the evening? I‘ve done hardly any physical activity at all,and how can I possibly be this tired? The answer,I realized,is down to the fact that I wasn’t getting enough cognitive rest. Surfing,texting and answering emails,engaging with people online,the news cycle and the endless worries,all of this can take place while a person is fully curled up on the sofa in pajamas.All these things inhibit us from receiving enough mental rest.
I caught up with CBT therapist Charlotte Luscombe who shared with me the importance of switching off mentally as well as physically.She explains,“We can be physically still and resting but that does not mean our bodies are in a relaxed state.Our minds can continue to race and can cause anxiety when doing so.”
And what suggestions does Charlotte have for busy-minded individuals like me? “Active rest,” She tells me,“activities that help you to engage your mind can help you to relax even if you are physically doing something,as this encourages cognitive rest.They can be yoga,walking,reading,coloring etc.Even doing something active with your mind engaged will be more restful than sitting down but worrying for hours.”
语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一些有助于大脑休息的建议。
28.What is Paragraph 1 mainly about?
A.The manner of sitting.
B.The common sense of rest.
C.The definition of a still life.
D.The physical tiredness.
段落大意题。根据第一段“Often when we think of taking some time...putting our feet up and unburdening ourselves.”可知,第一段主要讲的是休息的常识。故选B。
√
29.What does the underlined word “inhibit” in Paragraph 3 mean?

Cowboy or spaceman?A dilemma for a children's party,perhaps.But also a question for economists,argued Kenneth Boulding,a British economist,in an essay published in 1966.We have run our economies,he warned,like cowboys on the open grassland:taking and using the world's resources,confident that more lies over the horizon.But the Earth is less a grassland than a spaceship—a closed system,alone in space,carrying limited supplies.We need,said Boulding,an economics that takes seriously the idea of environmental limits.In the half century since his essay,a new movement has responded to his challenge.“Ecological economists”,as they call themselves,want to revolutionise its aims and assumptions. What do they say—and will their ideas achieve lift-off?
To its advocators,ecological economics is neither ecology nor economics,but a mix of both.Their starting point is to recognise that the human economy is part of the natural world.Our environment,they note,is both a source of resources and a sink for wastes.But it is ignored in conventional textbooks,where neat diagrams trace the flows between firms,households and the government as though nature did not exist.That is a mistake,say ecological economists.
There are two ways our economies can grow,ecological economists point out:through technological change,or through more intensive use of resources. Only the former,they say,is worth having.They are suspicious of GDP,a crude measure which does not take account of resource exhaustion,unpaid work,and countless other factors.In its place they advocate more holistic(全面的) approaches,such as the Genuine Progress Indicator (GPI),a composite index(复合指标) that includes things like the cost of pollution,deforestation and car accidents.While GDP has kept growing,global GPI per person peaked in 1978:by destroying our environment we are making ourselves poorer,not richer.The solution,says Herman Daly,a former World Bank economist and eco-guru,is a “steady-state” economy,where the use of materials and energy is held constant.
Mainstream economists are unimpressed.The GPI,they point out,is a subjective measure.And talk of limits to growth has had a bad press since the days of Thomas Malthus,a gloomy 18th century cleric who predicted,wrongly,that overpopulation would lead to famine.Human beings find solutions to some of the most annoying problems.But ecological economists warn against self-satisfaction.In 2009 a paper in Nature,a scientific journal,argued that human activity is already overstepping safe planetary boundaries on issues such as biodiversity(生物多样性) and climate change.That suggests that ecological economists are at least asking some important questions,even if their answers turn out to be wrong.
语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了生态经济的概念,并指出我们在发展经济的同时不能忽视自然,经济的增长与生态自然是息息相关的。
32.Kenneth Boulding and the content of his essay at the beginning of this passage are meant to .
A.point out how ignorant of nature the cowboys are
B.blame human beings for their exploitation of nature
C.ask people to take seriously the environment limits
D.introduce ecological economists and ecologist economics

√
33.According to ecological economists,what is the mistake existing in conventional textbooks?
A.Ecology and economics are not mixed together.
B.Human economy isn't recognized as parts of nature.
C.The environment has both resources and wastes.
D.Diagrams connect firms,households and the government.
细节理解题。由第二段“Their starting point is to recognise...But it is ignored in conventional textbooks”可知,生态经济学家认为在传统的课本中,人类的经济没有被看作是自然的一部分。故选B项。
√
34.The comparison between GDP and GPI data in 1978 has warned us that .
A.GDP is crude measure that is not worth using
B.car accident should by all means include in GDP
C.we are gaining material wealth by destroying nature
D.resources and energy will one day be totally used up
推理判断题。由第三段“by destroying our environment we are making ourselves poorer,not richer.”可知,1978年GDP和GPI数据的对比警告我们,我们通过毁灭自然获得物质财富。故选C项。
√
35.Which in the following will the author probably agree?
A.The aims and assumptions of economics need to be revolutionized.
B.GDP and GPI should be both accepted by mainstream economists.
C.Human beings can always find solutions to all the annoying problems.
D.Ecological economists' concerns about the world are worth noticing.

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。
One day,a poor boy who was trying to pay his way through school by selling goods door to door found that he only had one dime left.He was hungry so he decided to beg for a meal at the next house.
However,he lost his nerve when a lovely young woman opened the door.Instead of a meal he asked for a drink of water.She thought he looked hungry so she brought him a large glass of milk.He drank it slowly,and then asked,“How much do I owe you?”
“You don't owe me anything,” she replied.“Mother has taught me never to accept pay for a kindness.”He said,“Then I thank you from the bottom of my heart.”As Howard Kelly left that house,he not only felt stronger physically,but it also increased his faith in kindness and the human race.He was about to give up and quit before this point.
Years later the young woman became critically ill.The local doctors were baffled.They finally sent her to the big city,where specialists can be called in to study her rare disease.Dr.Howard Kelly,now famous,was called in for the consultation.When he heard the name of the town she came from,a strange light filled his eyes.Immediately,he rose and went down through the hospital hall into her room.
注意:1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式作答。
Paragraph 1:
Dressed in his doctors gown he went in to see her.____________________
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
He recognized her at once.He went back to the consultation room and determined to do his best to save her life.From that day on,he gave special attention to her case.After a long struggle,the battle was won.Dr.Kelly requested the business office to pass the final bill to him for approval.He looked at it and then wrote something on the side.
Paragraph 2:
The bill was sent to her room.____________________________________
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
She was afraid to open it because she was positive that it would take the rest of her life to pay it off.Finally she looked,and the note on the side of the bill caught her attention.She read these words: “Paid in full with a glass of milk.” The note was signed by Dr.Howard Kelly.Tears of joy flooded her eyes.
