These facilities are a big source of pollution in cities, and here’s how much pollution each main public facility made in 2025: Type 1: Land public transport Type 2: Street lighting system Type 3: Marine and airline public transport Type 4: Public building air-conditioners Type 5: Urban water supply To deal with the pollution caused by these facilities, cities have come up with practical ways to make them more eco-friendly. Types Eco-solutions Advantages Public transport Electric Buses &Hydrogen Taxis Buses reduce 60% of emissions; Taxis can drive much further. Street lighting system Solar-powered LED Street Lamps 85% of electricity from solar energy; LEDs save 70% of power. Public building air-conditioners Ground-source Heat Pumps Reduce 50% of emissions; Suitable for large buildings. Urban water supply Energy-recycling Water Pumps Capture energy from water flow; Cut 20% of the system’s emissions. “These eco-friendly changes bring double benefits — they’re kind to the environment and help save the city’s operating costs. By 2030, our city aims to apply these green solutions to 60% of public facilities. If this goal is achieved, the pollution from these facilities will drop by 45% from 2025 levels,” says Lin Yue, a city planner. 1. What is the total percentage of emissions from all public vehicles in 2025? A. 63%. B. 56%. C. 38%. D. 15%. 2. Which eco-solution helps both save power and reduce emissions? A. Electric Buses. B. Ground-source Heat Pumps. C. Energy-recycling Water Pumps. D. Solar-powered LED Street Lamps. 3. What benefit do the green changes bring about according to Lin Yue? A. Reducing pollution. B. Controlling the number of facilities. C. Cutting 60% of costs. D. Speeding up facility construction. 【答案】1. B 2. C 3. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文，主要讲的是为达成全球碳污染归零的目标，世界各地的城市正努力让公共设施（如公交车、路灯等）降低能耗、减少排放，因为这些设施是城市污染的主要来源之一。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。Type 1: Land public transport(类型 1：陆地公共交通)和Type 3: Marine and airline public transport(类型 3：海洋及航空公共交通)都是公共交通方式，根据饼状图里的Type 1里的38%和Type 3中的18%可知，2025年所有公共车辆的排放总量占比是38%+18%= 56%，故选B。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据表格最后一栏中的“Energy-recycling Water Pumps(能量回收型水泵)”和“Capture energy from water flow; Cut 20% of the system’s emissions.(从水流中获取能量；使系统排放量减少 20%)”可知，能量回收水泵既能节省电力又能减少排放，故选C。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段““These eco-friendly changes bring double benefits—they’re kind to the environment and help save the city’s operating costs. By 2030, our city aims to apply these green solutions to 60% of public facilities. If this goal is achieved, the pollution from these facilities will drop by 45% from 2025 levels,” says Lin Yue, a city planner.(城市规划师林悦表示：“这些环保举措带来双重益处——既有利于环境，又能帮助节省城市运营成本。到2030年，我们城市的目标是将这些绿色方案应用于60%的公共设施。如果这一目标得以实现，这些设施的污染排放量相较于2025年的水平将下降45%。”)”可知，林悦认为这些绿色变革带来的好处是减少了污染。故选A。 B On Dec.26, Gelinne was having a cup of coffee at home, gazing out at frozen Beards River. Suddenly, his daughter cried “Look!” Gelinne looked up just in time to see a small aircraft a few hundred yards away, coming down. As the plane disappeared behind the trees, Gelinne, a former sailor, realized it would land in the river. Without hesitation, he ran down to the waterfront. The plane had slid to a stop on the broad, frozen river, far from shore, sinking. The pilot was standing on the wing. Gelinne knew from his previous training that even a few minutes in the icy water could kill the pilot. Gelinne tested the ice with his foot and decided not to take any chances walking on it. So he and his son, John, pulled two kayaks (皮划艇) out. “If it can float on the water, it can slide on the ice,” Gelinne said. The kayaks’ paddles (桨) proved too weak, so the pair tried using sticks to push the boats along. Their first attempts left them spinning in circles. But with effort, they made progress. When Gelinne reached the plane, the pilot was standing on a tail wing, surrounded by open water. Gelinne pushed his kayak off the ice and into the water, paddling toward the pilot and thinking, “What if he panics? What if I fall over?” With his son nearby, Gelinne focused on keeping the pilot calm, joking, “Just hang on to the kayak as if you were hugging your wife.” The pilot grabbed the kayak’s bow. Gelinne knew he had to get the pilot onto the shelf of unbroken ice. But each time Gelinne tried, the kayak broke through the ice. He needed help. Soon a police officer arrived and radioed for help. A boat from the local Department of Natural Resources appeared. It picked up the pilot, Steve 71, and rushed him to safety, who would be treated for minor injuries. Later the boat returned to help Gelinne, exhausted, to shore. The boat had arrived just in time, Gelinne recalled. “I’m 60 years old,” he says. “There was no way I could get him to shore.” Still, he was satisfied. 4. What was Gelinne’s first reaction to the air crash? A. Hesitant. B. Concerned. C. Scared. D. Surprised. 5. What can be learned from paragraph 4? A. The plane had sunk to the bottom. B. The pilot was nearly frozen to death. C. The kayaks got stuck in floating ice. D. The rescue was tougher than expected. 6. Why did Gelinne need help? A. Because his son didn’t help him. B. Because the kayaks were broken. C. Because the ice wasn’t solid enough. D. Because the pilot was too exhausted. 7. Which of the following can best describe Gelinne? A. Honest and independent. B. Modest and intelligent. C. Helpful and humorous. D. Generous and cautious. 【答案】4. B 5. D 6. C 7. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。讲述一位60岁的老人Gelinne，在 12月26 日，冒着严寒，克服困难去救由于飞机失事而落入水中的飞行员Steve 的故事。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“As the plane disappeared behind the trees, Gelinne, a former sailor, realized it would land in the river. Without hesitation, he ran down to the waterfront.(当飞机消失在树后时，曾经当过水手的杰琳意识到它将降落在河中。他毫不犹豫地跑到水边)”可知，他一看到飞机降落在河中，就毫不犹豫地跑到水边，所以推知是担心的。故选B项。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“The kayaks’ paddles (桨) proved too weak, so the pair tried using sticks to push the boats along. Their first attempts left them spinning in circles. But with effort, they made progress. (皮划艇的桨太弱了，所以两人试着用棍子推动小船。他们的第一次尝试让他们在原地打转。但是经过努力，他们取得了进步。)”可知，救助过程非常比预想的要困难。故选D项。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段“With his son nearby, Gelinne focused on keeping the pilot calm, joking, “Just hang on to the kayak as if you were hugging your wife.” The pilot grabbed the kayak’s bow. Gelinne knew he had to get the pilot onto the shelf of unbroken ice. But each time Gelinne tried, the kayak broke through the ice. He needed help.(儿子就在旁边，Gelinne专注于让飞行员保持冷静，他开玩笑说：“就像拥抱你的妻子一样，紧紧抓住皮艇。”领航员抓住皮艇的船头。Gelinne知道他必须把飞行员弄到没有破冰的架子上。但每次杰琳尝试，皮划艇都破冰而出。他需要帮助)”可知，因为冰不够坚固，导致皮划艇都破冰而出。他需要帮助。故选C项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。推理判断题。根据第二段“As the plane disappeared behind the trees, Gelinne, a former sailor, realized it would land in the river. Without hesitation, he ran down to the waterfront.(当飞机消失在树后时，曾经当过水手的杰琳意识到它将降落在河中。他毫不犹豫地跑到水边)”可知，他一看到飞机降落在河中，就毫不犹豫地跑到水边去救人，所以他是热于助人的，以及第五段“With his son nearby, Gelinne focused on keeping the pilot calm, joking, “Just hang on to the kayak as if you were hugging your wife.”(儿子就在旁边，Gelinne专注于让飞行员保持冷静，他开玩笑说：“就像拥抱你的妻子一样，紧紧抓住皮艇。”)”可推知Gelinne 是个幽默的人，所以Gelinne是乐于助人又幽默的。故选C项。 C When the biggest earthquake in over a decade hit Kamchatka Peninsula in July, experts worldwide knew within moments thanks to global sensors, and now AI is set to improve earthquake research — making it far faster and rewriting scientists’ understanding of how quakes happen. Scientists are using machine learning to spot millions of tiny and unseen earthquakes in data from active earthquake areas. These enlarged databases help learn future quake risks, and some even apply machine learning to aftershock forecasts. “Machine learning opened a whole new window,” notes Mousavi, an expert in this field. Earthquakes occur when underground rock layers push against each other, building stress until the rock breaks and releases energy. This energy is recorded by professional tools, which have provided far more data in recent years. Just a decade or two ago, most analysis (分析) was made by human, but today’s large number of data makes AI-powered operation necessary. One common application is phase picking, identifying the arrival of P and S waves important for discovering the exact quake locations. This task costs time for humans, but machine learning algorithms (算法), trained on past data, do this far faster with comparable accuracy (准确度), Mousavi says. Another area that has already seen big discoveries is the use of machine learning to enlarge earthquake catalogs — lists of quakes in particular regions. For example, researchers recently used AI to create a more detailed catalog of a magnitude 7.3 quake in April 2024, increasing its completeness by about five times, cutting the time from months to one day. Even with these improvements in finding and recording quakes, AI is still not better than old methods at predicting future earthquakes. While it makes aftershock forecasts faster, it’s about as accurate as usual ways. Experts warn not to trust it too much and stress that double-checking is important to make sure we understand AI’s results right. Still, earthquake scientists say, “We’re on the way.” 8. What is the benefit of machine learning in quake research? A. Decreasing future quake risks. B. Predicting quake time exactly. C. Finding unnoticed small quakes. D. Correcting human work’s mistakes. 9. Why is phase picking mentioned in paragraph 4? A. To prove AI can provide perfect data. B. To show AI speeds up quake analysis. C. To tell P waves are faster than S waves. D. To compare the speed of human and AI. 10. What can be inferred from the 2024 quake catalog? A. AI now makes traditional methods useless. B. AI is used to build a more detailed catalog. C. AI works without historical earthquake data. D. AI can enrich the data of the catalog sooner. 11. What is the researchers’ attitude towards using AI in earthquake prediction? A. Careful but hopeful. B. Doubtful and worried. C. Concerned but helpless. D. Supportive and confident. 【答案】8. C 9. B 10. D 11. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了人工智能（AI）在地震研究中的应用，包括其在发现微小地震、加速地震分析、丰富地震目录等方面的作用，同时也指出了AI在地震预测方面的局限性以及研究人员对其发展的谨慎乐观态度。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Scientists are using machine learning to spot millions of tiny and unseen earthquakes in data from active earthquake areas.(科学家们正利用机器学习从活跃地震区的数据中识别出数百万次微小且未被发现的地震。)”可知，机器学习在地震研究中的好处是发现未被注意到的小地震。故选C。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“This task costs time for humans, but machine learning algorithms (算法), trained on past data, do this far faster with comparable accuracy (准确度), Mousavi says.(Mousavi说，这项任务对人类来说很耗时，但基于过去数据训练的机器学习算法能以相当的准确度快得多地完成这项工作。)”可知，第四段提到“phase picking”是为了说明AI加速了地震分析。故选B。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段“For example, researchers recently used AI to create a more detailed catalog of a magnitude 7.3 quake in April 2024, increasing its completeness by about five times, cutting the time from months to one day.(例如，研究人员最近使用AI创建了2024年4月7.3级地震的更详细目录，将其完整性提高了约五倍，将时间从数月缩短到一天。)”可知，从2024年地震目录可以推断出，AI可以更快地丰富目录的数据。故选D。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Experts warn not to trust it too much and stress that double-checking is important to make sure we understand AI’s results right. Still, earthquake scientists say, ‘We’re on the way.’(专家警告不要过于信任它，并强调反复检查对于确保我们正确理解AI的结果很重要。尽管如此，地震科学家说：‘我们正在路上。’)”可知，研究人员对在地震预测中使用AI的态度是谨慎但充满希望的。故选A。 D Have you ever wondered what makes people happy? Is it lots of money, good health, loving relationships, or simply chocolate? According to the latest World Happiness Report, money is not the main source of happiness. While hardship can make you unhappy, once your basic needs are met, money and material things matter far less. True happiness depends more on appreciating what you already have than on getting more. Sure, money can buy the latest smartphone or fashion item, and those things bring you joy at first, but that feeling is often short-lived. Think about you birthday gifts as a child. No matter how over the moon you feel while opening them, they may lie forgotten in a drawer soon. The same goes for the quick thrill of eating too much chocolate, often resulting in stomachache. Lasting happiness tends to come from intangible things. One major factor is human relationships. The support of family and friends makes us feel protected and respected. But happiness means you have to give and take. Performing acts of kindness and generosity regularly, like listening to a friend in need or carrying a neighbour’s shopping bag, will make you feel pleased. Even a simple smile can beat 2,000 chocolate bars! Health is another key to happiness. Poor health can make anyone feel down. But staying healthy requires some effort. A healthy diet is important and so is regular exercise. Exercising for 20 to 30 minutes a day helps to reduce anxiety and makes you feel more positive because it releases endorphins (feel-good chemicals). So, if you feel blue about your exams, get exercising. You’ll also find that you sleep better. Talking of sleep, do you often wake up feeling tired? If so, it’s probably because you haven’t had enough of it. Teenagers often go to bed late and get up early, so many suffer from a lack of sleep. This tiredness will certainly have a bad effect on your mood, harm your concentration and even slow your growth. So if you want to be happy and do well at school, try to get at least eight hours of sleep a night. Now that you know more about happiness, why not start practising today? Smile, stay active, care for others, and rest well. 12. Which of the following can bring lasting happiness according to the report? A. Valuing what one already has. B. Owning the newest smart devices. C. Eating chocolate in moderation. D. Earning more than basic needs. 13. What does the underlined word “intangible” mean in paragraph 3? A. Secret and personal. B. Simple and common. C. Unimportant and small. D. Immaterial and invisible. 14. What could be the author’s suggestion for teenagers? A. Study harder to improve their school work. B. Reduce physical exercise to get more sleep. C. Connect happiness with material gains. D. Value the true foundations of happiness. 15. What is the best title for the passage? A. Beyond Sweets: Chocolate’s Limits B. Beyond Buying: Smiles and Meaning C. Beyond Joy: Real Routes to Happiness D. Beyond Wealth: Health and Relationships 【答案】12. A 13. D 14. D 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍真正的幸福来源，指出金钱并非幸福关键，持久幸福源于珍惜当下、人际关系、健康和充足睡眠等。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“True happiness depends more on appreciating what you already have than on getting more.(真正的幸福更多取决于珍惜你已经拥有的，而非追求更多)”可推知，珍惜自己所拥有的能带来持久幸福，故选A。 【13题详解】 词句猜测题。根据文章第三段“Lasting happiness tends to come from intangible things. One major factor is human relationships.(持久的幸福往往来自 intangible 的东西。其中一个主要因素是人际关系)”结合后文举例“Performing acts of kindness and generosity regularly, like listening to a friend in need or carrying a neighbour’s shopping bag, will make you feel pleased. Even a simple smile can beat 2,000 chocolate bars!(经常做一些善举和慷慨的行为，比如倾听朋友的倾诉或者帮邻居拎购物袋，会让你感到愉悦。甚至一个简单的微笑也能抵得上2000块巧克力！)”可知，人际关系是抽象的、看不见摸不着的，与物质无关，因此可推知intangible 意为 “非物质的、无形的”，故选 D。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Now that you know more about happiness, why not start practising today? Smile, stay active, care for others, and rest well.(既然你更了解幸福了，何不从今天开始践行？微笑、保持活力、关心他人、好好休息)”可推知，作者建议青少年重视幸福的真正基础，故选D。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，根据文章第二段“True happiness depends more on appreciating what you already have than on getting more.(真正的幸福更多地在于珍惜你已拥有的东西，而非一味地追求更多。)”等内容可推知，文章围绕“什么才能带来真正、持久的幸福”展开，最佳标题是 Beyond Joy: Real Routes to Happiness(超越快乐：通往幸福的真正途径)，故选C。 第二节 (共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题纸上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 How You Can Create Luck in Everyday Life Having a positive way allows you to create your own luck in everyday life.

What amazed the child was not a new world, __________ the unnoticed music of the old. (用适当的词填空) 【答案】but 【解析】 【详解】考查连词。句意：令这孩子惊奇的不是新世界，而是未被注意到的旧世界的音乐。根据句意以及前一句的not可知，此处为not…but…“不是……而是……”，满足句意要求，所以此处为连词but的填入。故填but。 48.

In a word, we have now reached a point ______ we wish to enjoy and understand literature. (用适当的词填空) 【答案】where 【解析】 【详解】考查定语从句。句意：总之，我们现在已经到了一个我们希望享受和理解文学的阶段。“we wish to enjoy and understand literature”是限制性定语从句，修饰先行词a point，这里的point意为“阶段、程度”，表示抽象的地点，关系词将其代入从句中作地点状语，用关系副词where引导从句。故填where。 51. Jim hurried to the stadium yesterday, only ___________ (inform) the event was called off because a hurricane was on the way. (所给词的适当形式填空) 【答案】to be informed 【解析】 【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：吉姆昨天匆忙赶到体育场，结果却被告知活动因飓风即将来临而取消。根据空前的“only”及空后的“the event was called off”可知，此处表示出乎意料的结果，应用“only+不定式”作结果状语，且Jim与inform之间是被动关系，应用不定式的被动式to be informed。故填to be informed。 52. The mountain road was _________(extreme) dangerous after the heavy snow, so the drivers had to be very careful. (所给词的适当形式填空) 【答案】extremely 【解析】 【详解】考查副词。句意：大雪过后，这条山路变得异常危险，所以司机们必须格外小心。空处修饰形容词dangerous，应用副词extremely“极其地；非常”作状语，故填extremely。 53.

(所给词的适当形式填空) 【答案】specifically 【解析】 【详解】句意：去年发布的这份报告明确地指出了日常管理中存在的问题。空处修饰动词短语pointed out，需用副词specifically，作状语。 55.

Controlling the number of facilities. C. Cutting 60% of costs. D. Speeding up facility construction. B On Dec.26, Gelinne was having a cup of coffee at home, gazing out at frozen Beards River. Suddenly, his daughter cried “Look!” Gelinne looked up just in time to see a small aircraft a few hundred yards away, coming down. As the plane disappeared behind the trees, Gelinne, a former sailor, realized it would land in the river. Without hesitation, he ran down to the waterfront. The plane had slid to a stop on the broad, frozen river, far from shore, sinking. The pilot was standing on the wing. Gelinne knew from his previous training that even a few minutes in the icy water could kill the pilot. Gelinne tested the ice with his foot and decided not to take any chances walking on it. So he and his son, John, pulled two kayaks (皮划艇) out. “If it can float on the water, it can slide on the ice,” Gelinne said. The kayaks’ paddles (桨) proved too weak, so the pair tried using sticks to push the boats along. Their first attempts left them spinning in circles. But with effort, they made progress. When Gelinne reached the plane, the pilot was standing on a tail wing, surrounded by open water. Gelinne pushed his kayak off the ice and into the water, paddling toward the pilot and thinking, “What if he panics? What if I fall over?” With his son nearby, Gelinne focused on keeping the pilot calm, joking, “Just hang on to the kayak as if you were hugging your wife.” The pilot grabbed the kayak’s bow. Gelinne knew he had to get the pilot onto the shelf of unbroken ice. But each time Gelinne tried, the kayak broke through the ice. He needed help. Soon a police officer arrived and radioed for help. A boat from the local Department of Natural Resources appeared. It picked up the pilot, Steve 71, and rushed him to safety, who would be treated for minor injuries. Later the boat returned to help Gelinne, exhausted, to shore.

Modest and intelligent. C. Helpful and humorous. D. Generous and cautious. C When the biggest earthquake in over a decade hit Kamchatka Peninsula in July, experts worldwide knew within moments thanks to global sensors, and now AI is set to improve earthquake research — making it far faster and rewriting scientists’ understanding of how quakes happen. Scientists are using machine learning to spot millions of tiny and unseen earthquakes in data from active earthquake areas. These enlarged databases help learn future quake risks, and some even apply machine learning to aftershock forecasts. “Machine learning opened a whole new window,” notes Mousavi, an expert in this field. Earthquakes occur when underground rock layers push against each other, building stress until the rock breaks and releases energy. This energy is recorded by professional tools, which have provided far more data in recent years. Just a decade or two ago, most analysis (分析) was made by human, but today’s large number of data makes AI-powered operation necessary. One common application is phase picking, identifying the arrival of P and S waves important for discovering the exact quake locations. This task costs time for humans, but machine learning algorithms (算法), trained on past data, do this far faster with comparable accuracy (准确度), Mousavi says. Another area that has already seen big discoveries is the use of machine learning to enlarge earthquake catalogs — lists of quakes in particular regions. For example, researchers recently used AI to create a more detailed catalog of a magnitude 7.3 quake in April 2024, increasing its completeness by about five times, cutting the time from months to one day. Even with these improvements in finding and recording quakes, AI is still not better than old methods at predicting future earthquakes. While it makes aftershock forecasts faster, it’s about as accurate as usual ways. Experts warn not to trust it too much and stress that double-checking is important to make sure we understand AI’s results right. Still, earthquake scientists say, “We’re on the way.” 8. What is the benefit of machine learning in quake research? A. Decreasing future quake risks. B. Predicting quake time exactly. C. Finding unnoticed small quakes. D. Correcting human work’s mistakes. 9. Why is phase picking mentioned in paragraph 4? A. To prove AI can provide perfect data. B. To show AI speeds up quake analysis. C. To tell P waves are faster than S waves. D. To compare the speed of human and AI. 10. What can be inferred from the 2024 quake catalog? A. AI now makes traditional methods useless. B. AI is used to build a more detailed catalog. C. AI works without historical earthquake data. D. AI can enrich the data of the catalog sooner. 11. What is the researchers’ attitude towards using AI in earthquake prediction? A. Careful but hopeful. B. Doubtful and worried. C. Concerned but helpless. D. Supportive and confident. D Have you ever wondered what makes people happy? Is it lots of money, good health, loving relationships, or simply chocolate? According to the latest World Happiness Report, money is not the main source of happiness. While hardship can make you unhappy, once your basic needs are met, money and material things matter far less. True happiness depends more on appreciating what you already have than on getting more. Sure, money can buy the latest smartphone or fashion item, and those things bring you joy at first, but that feeling is often short-lived. Think about you birthday gifts as a child. No matter how over the moon you feel while opening them, they may lie forgotten in a drawer soon. The same goes for the quick thrill of eating too much chocolate, often resulting in stomachache. Lasting happiness tends to come from intangible things. One major factor is human relationships. The support of family and friends makes us feel protected and respected. But happiness means you have to give and take. Performing acts of kindness and generosity regularly, like listening to a friend in need or carrying a neighbour’s shopping bag, will make you feel pleased. Even a simple smile can beat 2,000 chocolate bars! Health is another key to happiness. Poor health can make anyone feel down. But staying healthy requires some effort. A healthy diet is important and so is regular exercise. Exercising for 20 to 30 minutes a day helps to reduce anxiety and makes you feel more positive because it releases endorphins (feel-good chemicals). So, if you feel blue about your exams, get exercising. You’ll also find that you sleep better. Talking of sleep, do you often wake up feeling tired? If so, it’s probably because you haven’t had enough of it. Teenagers often go to bed late and get up early, so many suffer from a lack of sleep. This tiredness will certainly have a bad effect on your mood, harm your concentration and even slow your growth. So if you want to be happy and do well at school, try to get at least eight hours of sleep a night. Now that you know more about happiness, why not start practising today? Smile, stay active, care for others, and rest well. 12. Which of the following can bring lasting happiness according to the report? A. Valuing what one already has. B. Owning the newest smart devices. C. Eating chocolate in moderation. D. Earning more than basic needs. 13. What does the underlined word “intangible” mean in paragraph 3? A. Secret and personal. B. Simple and common. C. Unimportant and small. D. Immaterial and invisible. 14. What could be the author’s suggestion for teenagers? A. Study harder to improve their school work. B. Reduce physical exercise to get more sleep. C. Connect happiness with material gains. D. Value the true foundations of happiness. 15. What is the best title for the passage? A. Beyond Sweets: Chocolate’s Limits B. Beyond Buying: Smiles and Meaning C. Beyond Joy: Real Routes to Happiness D. Beyond Wealth: Health and Relationships 第二节 (共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题纸上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 How You Can Create Luck in Everyday Life Having a positive way allows you to create your own luck in everyday life.
