人教版（2024）七年级下册英语Unit 1 The secrets of happiness阅读理解专项试卷 一、基础练习 （A） Last Monday, I had a really bad day. I woke up late, missed the school bus, and forgot my homework at home. I felt so unhappy. On my way to school, I walked with my head down, looking at the ground. Suddenly, I heard a friendly voice say, "Good morning! What a beautiful day!" I looked up and saw an old woman with a big smile on her face. She was walking her little dog. Her smile was so warm and kind. I didn't know her. She was a stranger (陌生人) to me. But her smile made me feel better instantly (立刻地). I smiled back and said, "Good morning!" For a moment, all my worries went away. That small moment taught me something important. Happiness doesn't always come from big things. Sometimes, it comes from a simple smile from a stranger. It can change your whole day. Now, I try to smile at people more often. You never know who might need a smile. A small act of kindness (善意) can bring happiness to others and to yourself too. ( )1. How was the writer's morning before meeting the old woman? A.

He spends most of his free time there. When I was young, I often asked him, "Grandpa, why do you like working in the garden so much? Isn't it tiring?" Grandpa always smiled and said, "Come and help me. Then you will know the secret." Last Saturday, I went to help him in the garden. We planted some tomato seedlings (幼苗) together. First, we dug small holes in the soil (土壤). Then, we put the young plants in and covered their roots with soft earth. After that, we watered them carefully. My hands got dirty, but I didn't mind. While working, Grandpa told me, "Look at these little plants. Every day they grow a little bigger. Soon they will have yellow flowers, and later, red tomatoes. Watching them grow makes me happy." Now I understand. The happiness is not just in the tomatoes. It's in the waiting, the caring, and the growing. It's in spending time with nature and with people you love. Grandpa's garden is not just a place for vegetables. It's a place for happiness. ( )1. What did the writer and grandpa do in the garden last Saturday? A. They picked some red tomatoes. B.

"Grandpa, what's wrong?" she asked. "I lost my key. I can't get into my house," Mr. Chen said sadly. Xiao Mei didn't leave. She stayed and helped him look for the key. They searched along the road for nearly twenty minutes. Just when they were about to give up, Xiao Mei saw something shiny under a leaf. "Is this your key?" she asked excitedly. "Yes! That's it! Thank you so much!" Mr. Chen's face lit up with a big smile. Xiao Mei felt warm inside, even though it was a cold night. Helping others made her happy.

We don't watch TV or look at our phones. We just talk. At dinner, we share our day. I tell them about my classes and my friends. My brother talks about his funny stories from kindergarten (幼儿园). My parents tell us about their work. Sometimes we laugh at silly things. Sometimes we talk about our problems. Mom always says, "A problem shared is a problem halved (减半)." Last night, I had a bad day at school. I didn't want to talk. But at the dinner table, I started to tell my family what happened. They listened carefully. Dad gave me some good advice. Mom gave me a big hug. My little brother drew a picture to cheer me up. After dinner, I felt so much better. I think this is the secret of happiness in my family.

One day, the businessman saw a fisherman sitting by the sea. He was fishing, but he looked very relaxed and happy. The businessman asked, "Why aren't you fishing more? If you fish more, you can catch more fish. Then you can sell them and make more money." The fisherman smiled and asked, "Why do I need more money?" "With more money, you can buy a bigger boat. Then you can catch even more fish and make even more money!" the businessman said excitedly. "And then?" the fisherman asked calmly. "Then you can hire (雇佣) other people to work for you. You can become rich and never have to work again! You can sit by the sea and enjoy life!" the businessman explained. The fisherman laughed and said, "But that's what I'm doing right now. I am already sitting by the sea and enjoying life. Why should I wait?" The businessman had no answer. He realized that happiness is not about how much you have.

Liu and his wife welcomed her in and shared their simple dinner with her. After dinner, the old woman said, "You are kind people. I am a fairy (仙女). I will give you three wishes." Liu and his wife were surprised. They talked about what to wish for. Liu's wife said, "I wish for a new house!" Poof! Their small house became a big, beautiful house. Liu said, "I wish for lots of money!" Poof! Coins filled their pockets. They were so excited. Then Liu's wife said, "I wish for..." But then she stopped. They had used two wishes. They only had one left. They looked around. They had a big house and lots of money. But something was missing. They couldn't remember what they wanted next. They thought and thought. Finally, Liu smiled and said, "I know. I wish for us to always be as happy as we were before." Poof! The house and money disappeared (消失). They were back in their small, simple house.

The king called his wisest men and said, "Find a way to make me happy. If you fail, I will punish (惩罚) you!" The wise men talked and thought for many days. Finally, one of them said, "Your Majesty, we have found the answer. You need to wear the shirt of a happy man. Find a truly happy man and wear his shirt. Then you will be happy too." The king sent his men to look for a happy man. They searched everywhere. They visited rich men, but they were worried about their money. They visited famous men, but they were tired of their fame (名声). They couldn't find anyone truly happy. Finally, the king's son was walking in a field. He heard a man singing happily. He followed the sound and found a poor farmer working in the field. The farmer was singing and smiling while he worked. "Are you happy?" the prince asked. "Yes, I am very happy," the farmer said.

"Every evening," she explained, "I write down one happy thing from my day on a small piece of paper. Then I fold (折叠) it and put it in the jar. It can be something big, like a promotion (升职) at work. Or it can be something small, like a beautiful sunset or a phone call from a friend." I looked inside the jar. It was already half full of colorful papers. "Can I read some?" I asked. "Of course," she smiled. I opened a few. One said, "Today my student finally understood math—her smile made my day!" Another said, "Found a $5 bill in my old coat!" And another: "My neighbor brought me fresh cookies." I thought this was a wonderful idea. When I went home, I started my own happiness jar. Now, every night before bed, I think about my day and find one happy moment to write down. On sad days, I open the jar and read some old notes. They always remind me that life is full of small happiness. My aunt taught me that happiness is everywhere. We just need to notice it and remember it. The happiness jar helps us do that. ( )1.

One day, they had an argument and stopped talking to each other. A few weeks later, a man gave them a young orange tree as a gift. The brothers didn't know what to do. They couldn't share the tree because they weren't speaking. Finally, they cut the tree in half. Each brother took one half and planted it in his own field. The first brother took good care of his half. He watered it every day and protected it from the wind. But without the other half, the tree couldn't grow well. It stayed small and never gave fruit. The second brother was angry. He didn't care for his half at all. Soon, his half of the tree died. Years passed. One day, the first brother was walking in his field. He looked at his small, fruitless tree and felt sad. Then he looked over at his brother's field and saw that his brother's half was dead. He realized that by cutting the tree, they had both lost. He went to his brother's house and said, "I'm sorry for our argument. Look what happened to our tree. When we were together, we could have had a big tree with lots of oranges. But because we separated (分开), we both lost." The second brother understood. They hugged and became friends again. Together, they planted a new orange tree. This time, they took care of it together. It grew big and strong and gave sweet oranges every year. The tree taught them that happiness grows when shared. When you keep happiness to yourself, it becomes small. But when you share it with others, it grows bigger and brings joy to everyone. ( )1. What did the brothers do with the orange tree gift? A. They planted it together in one field. B. They gave it away to someone else. C. They cut it in half and each took one part. D. They left it by the road and forgot about it ( )2. What happened to the first brother's half of the tree? A. It grew big and gave many oranges. B. It stayed small and never gave fruit. C. It died soon after being planted. D. It was taken by the second brother. ( )3. The underlined word "fruitless" in Paragraph 5 probably means ______. A. producing no fruit B. full of sweet fruit C. very tall and strong D. dead and dry ( )4. Why did the first brother finally go to his brother's house? A. To ask for his half of the tree back. B. To argue with him again. C. To apologize and make peace. D. To show him his small tree. ( )5. What lesson does the orange tree teach about happiness? A. Happiness is hard to find. B. Happiness grows when shared with others. C. Trees are more important than brothers. D. Arguments make people stronger. （B） Scientists have studied happiness for many years. They want to know what makes people happy. A famous psychologist (心理学家) named Martin Seligman created a formula for happiness. It looks like this: "H = S + C + V" H stands for happiness. S is your "set range" (设定范围)—about 50% of your happiness level is decided by your genes (基因). Some people are naturally happier than others. C stands for circumstances (环境)—your health, money, where you live. This is only about 10% of your happiness. V stands for factors under your voluntary (自愿的) control—the things you choose to do. This is 40%! This means something very important. You can't change your genes. You can't always change your circumstances. But you CAN control 40% of your happiness by what you do and how you think. So what can you do? Research shows that certain activities increase happiness. Writing down three good things each day helps people feel more grateful (感激的). Doing acts of kindness makes both the giver and receiver happy. Spending time with friends and family is also very important. Exercise and enough sleep help too. The secret is that happiness is not just something that happens to you. It's something you can create. You don't have to wait to be happy. You can choose to be happy by doing happy things. Of course, everyone has sad days. That's normal and okay. But knowing this formula helps us understand that we have more power over our happiness than we think. Happiness is partly a choice. ( )1. According to the formula, what is the largest factor we can control for our happiness? A. Genes (S) - 50% B. Circumstances (C) - 10% C. Voluntary factors (V) - 40% D. All factors are equally controllable. ( )2. Which of the following is an example of "voluntary control" factors? A. The color of your eyes. B. The weather in your city. C. Writing down good things each day. D. The family you were born into. ( )3. The word "increase" in Paragraph 4 probably means ______. A. to make something smaller B. to make something bigger or more C. to keep something the same D. to take something away ( )4. What can we infer from the last paragraph? A. Happy people never have sad days. B. Sad days are not normal. C. Everyone has sad days, and that's okay. D. Sad days mean you are doing something wrong. ( )5. What is the writer's main opinion about happiness? A. Happiness is completely decided by genes. B. We have no control over our happiness. C. Happiness is partly a choice we can make. D. Only rich people can be truly happy. （C） An old man was walking along the beach early one morning. He saw that the night tide (潮水) had washed thousands of starfish (海星) onto the shore. They were lying on the sand, dying in the morning sun. In the distance, he saw a young boy. The boy kept bending down, picking something up, and throwing it into the sea. As the old man got closer, he saw that the boy was picking up starfish and throwing them back into the water, one by one. The old man walked up to the boy and said, "Young man, what are you doing? There are thousands of starfish on this beach. You cannot save them all. The sun is coming up, and most of them will die. What you're doing won't make any difference." The boy picked up another starfish, looked at it carefully, and threw it as far as he could into the ocean. Then he turned to the old man and said with a smile, "It made a difference to that one." The old man was quiet for a moment. Then he smiled too. He bent down, picked up a starfish, and threw it into the sea. Together, the old man and the boy continued throwing starfish back into the water. They didn't save them all. But they saved many. This story teaches us something important about happiness and helping others. Sometimes we think our small actions don't matter. But to the one we help, our action means everything. The happiness we feel when we help someone is real and powerful. It doesn't matter if we can't solve every problem. What matters is that we try to help when we can. Every small act of kindness makes the world a little better. And it makes us a little happier too. ( )1. What problem did the boy see on the beach? A. The beach was too crowded. B. Thousands of starfish were dying on the sand. C. The old man needed help walking. D. The tide was coming in too fast. ( )2. What did the boy do to help? A. He asked the old man for help. B. He threw starfish back into the sea one by one. C. He waited for the tide to come back. D. He collected all the starfish in a bucket. ( )3. The phrase "make any difference" in Paragraph 3 probably means ______. A. to change something or have an effect B. to be the same as before C. to make things worse D. to do nothing at all ( )4. Why did the old man decide to help the boy in the end? A. Because the boy asked him to. B. Because he realized that each starfish matters. C. Because he had nothing else to do. D. Because he wanted to be famous. ( )5. What is the main message of this story? A. We should never listen to old people. B. Saving starfish is a waste of time. C. Small acts of kindness matter to those we help. D. Beaches are dangerous places for sea animals. （D） In a small village, there was a garden that everyone talked about. It was behind a high wall, and the gate was always locked. People said it was the most beautiful garden in the world, but no one had ever seen inside. A girl named Lily moved to the village with her family. She was curious (好奇的) about the secret garden. Every day after school, she walked past the high wall and wondered what was inside. One day, she found a small hole in the wall, hidden behind some bushes. It was just big enough for her to crawl (爬) through. She looked around to make sure no one was watching, then she crawled inside. What she saw surprised her. The garden was not beautiful at all. It was wild and overgrown. Weeds (杂草) were everywhere. The flowers had no water. A small fountain was broken and dry. The garden looked sad and forgotten. Lily almost left. But then she noticed something. Under all the weeds, she could see the shapes of beautiful flowers. The fountain could be fixed. The garden could be beautiful again. She decided to come back. Day after day, she came to the garden. She pulled out weeds. She watered the dry flowers. She cleaned the fountain. She planted new seeds. Slowly, the garden began to change. Flowers bloomed. Birds came to visit. The fountain bubbled with clean water again. One day, an old woman appeared at the garden gate. She was the owner of the garden, and she had been watching Lily work through her window. "Why did you do all this?" she asked. Lily smiled. "Because I saw what it could become, not just what it was. Working here makes me happy. It feels like my own secret world." The old woman smiled too. "This garden was my husband's gift to me. After he died, I couldn't bear to come here. It made me too sad. But watching you bring it back to life has brought me happiness again. Thank you." Lily learned that happiness is like a garden. It needs care and patience (耐心).
