Lush with wild grass and colorful flowers, it was a lively world teeming with a variety of birds and insects. This small piece of land served as her perfect quiet refuge, enabling her to escape the daily chaos of her noisy apartment, where her siblings were always chasing and yelling loudly. Tia often lost herself in watching butterflies dancing gracefully above the bright flowers or listening to the soft chirps of sparrows hidden secretly in the thick grass. Though most people considered the lot worthless and often left trash such as broken wheels, rusty mailboxes and empty bottles there, Tia cherished every moment she spent there-sitting quietly under the blue sky, enjoying the cool soft wind and the warm golden sunshine. She ever planted a few wild flowers in the corner, hoping to make its natural beauty last much longer. One day, Mama told Tia that the city government planned to pave the lot and turn it into a commercial parking lot. Tia was so frustrated that she cried all night. She couldn’t help wonder in why no one could notice the simple, pure beauty of this small natural corner. Mama gently encouraged her: “To make others see what you see, you must speak up bravely instead of grieving silently.” Early the next morning, Tia dragged a wooden chair to the lot, holding a hand-painted sign that read “NO PARKING LOT! SAVE OUR NATURE!” and staged a peaceful sit-in protest. At first, passers-by ignored her and some boys teased her, but she refused to give in. Instead, she patiently explained the great value of nature to anyone who stopped, with a firm belief in her heart. A week later, more and more neighbors joined the protest. They worked together to clean up the garbage and make colorful signs, showing their deep love for the environment. The once-overlooked lot became the focus of the whole community. Tia felt truly proud for fighting fearlessly for what she loved deeply. However, a sudden mysterious phone call late at night left the future of the lot uncertain, unexpectedly turning this small corner into a common goal for all the concerned neighbors. 41. What did Tia think of the vacant lot? A. It was a noisy place where she couldn’t focus on her studies. B. It was a perfect place to play with her siblings and friends. C. It was a worthless corner full of rubbish and wild grass. D. It was a treasure full of natural beauty and a peaceful shelter. 42. What can we infer about Tia from her protest? A. She was easily affected by others’ laughter. B. She was determined and brave to protect her treasure. C. She succeeded in stopping the city’s plan at once. D. She did it only to make herself feel better. 43. What does the underlined word “frustrated” probably mean? A. Calm and relaxed. B. Surprised and curious. C. Upset and disappointed. D. Excited and hopeful. 44. What can we learn from Paragraph 4? A. Tia’s protest was supported at first. B. Tia kept trying though facing difficulties. C. Passers-by laughed at her and joined her later. D. The sign was made by Tia and her mother. 45. What will probably be talked about next? A. How the neighbors dealt with the phone call and saved the lot. B. Why the neighbors gave up protecting the vacant lot. C. When Tia would move to a new quiet apartment. D. What the city would build instead of a parking lot. 【答案】41. D 42. B 43. C 44. B 45. A 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述了女孩Tia将街角的一块荒地视为自己的珍宝，并在得知政府计划将其改建成停车场后，勇敢发起抗议，最终赢得邻居们支持的故事。 【41题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Tia regarded the vacant lot at the corner of 71st Street and Prospect as her own precious treasure. Lush with wild grass and colorful flowers, it was a lively world teeming with a variety of birds and insects. This small piece of land served as her perfect quiet refuge, enabling her to escape the daily chaos of her noisy apartment, where her siblings were always chasing and yelling loudly. Tia often lost herself in watching butterflies dancing gracefully above the bright flowers or listening to the soft chirps of sparrows hidden secretly in the thick grass. (Tia把71街和Prospect街拐角处的那块空地视为自己的宝贵财富。这片土地上长满了茂盛的野草和五颜六色的花朵，是一个充满生机、鸟语花香的世界。这片小小的土地成了她理想的宁静避难所，让她能够逃离那嘈杂喧闹的公寓，那里她的兄弟姐妹总是大声追逐、叫嚷不停。蒂娅常常沉醉于观赏蝴蝶在鲜艳的花朵上优雅地飞舞，或是聆听藏在茂密草丛中那轻柔的麻雀鸣叫之中。)”可知，Tia认为这块地是充满自然美景的宝藏和宁静的庇护所。 【42题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“At first, passers-by ignored her and some boys teased her, but she refused to give in. Instead, she patiently explained the great value of nature to anyone who stopped, with a firm belief in her heart. (起初，路人们都不理会她，还有一些男孩还取笑她，但她并未屈服。相反，她耐心地向每一个停下来的人解释大自然的非凡价值，心中怀有坚定的信念。）”以及第五段“Tia felt truly proud for fighting fearlessly for what she loved deeply.(Tia为自己勇敢地为深爱的事物而战感到由衷的自豪。)”可知，她在抗议中表现出坚定和勇敢。 【43题详解】 词句猜测题。根据前文“One day, Mama told Tia that the city government planned to pave the lot and turn it into a commercial parking lot. Tia was so frustrated that she cried all night. (一天，妈妈告诉Tia，市政府计划铺设那块地，把它变成一个商业停车场。Tia非常frustrated，哭了一整夜。)”可知，她因为心爱的自然角落要被破坏而伤心失望。frustrated意为“沮丧、失望”。 【44题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段的“At first, passers-by ignored her and some boys teased her, but she refused to give in. Instead, she patiently explained the great value of nature to anyone who stopped, with a firm belief in her heart. (起初，路人无视她，一些男孩嘲笑她，但她拒绝屈服。相反，她耐心地向每一个驻足的人讲解大自然的非凡价值，内心深处也坚信着这一切。)”可知，尽管遇到困难，Tia依然坚持努力。 【45题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“However, a sudden mysterious phone call late at night left the future of the lot uncertain, unexpectedly turning this small corner into a common goal for all the concerned neighbors.(然而，深夜一个神秘的突然来电让这块地的未来变得不确定，意外地将这个小角落变成了所有关心的邻居的共同目标。)”可知，接下来很可能会讲述邻居们如何应对这个电话、如何努力保护这块地。 C In an increasingly individualistic world, the act of giving — whether time, resources, or skills — serves as a powerful antidote to societal isolation. Engaging in charity activities fosters deeper human connections, enhances interpersonal relationships, and profoundly influences individuals’ mental and emotional well-being. This essay explores the multifaceted benefits of altruism (利他主义), emphasizing its role in nurturing community bonds and promoting individual fulfillment. At the core of voluntary engagement lies the natural human desire for connection. Participating in community service or charitable initiatives cultivates a sense of belonging, linking individuals with like-minded peers who share similar values and commitments. These shared experiences often lead to the formation of lasting friendships and networks, as individuals unite under a common purpose. For instance, volunteering at a local shelter not only addresses immediate community needs but also offers participants an opportunity to connect on a personal level, thus reinforcing social ties that might otherwise remain superficial. Moreover, altruism has been shown to contribute significantly to an individual’s mental health. Engaging in acts of kindness triggers the release of endorphins (内啡肽), the so-called “helper’s high,” which can enhance mood and promote feelings of happiness. Research by the Journal of Happiness Studies indicates that individuals who engage in regular volunteer work experience lower rates of depression and anxiety, leading to an overall improvement in life satisfaction. This psychological uplift extends beyond the individual, as happy people are more likely to engage positively in their communities, creating a positive cycle of altruism and well-being. Furthermore, acts of kindness cultivate empathy and inner strength, attributes essential for enduring human relationships. By actively engaging with diverse communities and understanding the struggles faced by others, individuals reinforce their capacity for compassion. This deepened empathy not only enhances interpersonal dynamics but also fosters a more inclusive and understanding society. Additionally, the experiences drawn from voluntary activity often encourage reflection and personal growth, helping individuals develop coping mechanisms and emotional perseverance. In conclusion, the benefits of goodwill extend far beyond the immediate impact of charitable acts. By fostering interpersonal connections and enhancing emotional well-being, acts of giving play a crucial role in building stronger, more resilient communities. In a world increasingly characterized by isolation and detachment, the embrace of altruism presents a powerful solution to reinvigorate (使…焕新) human connections and improve individual mental health. The cultivation of a giving spirit enriches not only the lives of those we help but also our own, creating a more compassionate and harmonious society. By choosing to engage in giving, we can transform not only our lives but also the fabric of our communities. 46. What does the word “antidote” most probably mean in Paragraph 1? A. An effective solution. B. A harmful result. C. A social trend. D. A mental disease. 47. According to the passage, which is an immediate and direct result of engaging in acts of kindness? A. The release of endorphins that improve mood. B. The significant improvement of social fairness. C. The building of lasting friendships and social networks. D. The cultivation of empathy and emotional resilience. 48. What is the main idea of the essay? A. Individualism is the root cause of societal problems. B. Altruism is the only solution to mental health issues. C. Giving behavior benefit individuals and communities in many ways. D. Modern society is becoming more and more individualistic and isolated. 49. How is the passage mainly organized? A. By presenting a problem and then offering several solutions. B. By stating a claim and supporting it with three arguments. C. By comparing different views on the value of acts of kindness. D. By listing historical examples to explain altruistic behavior. 50. Based on the essay, what can be inferred from the passage? A. People without extra money are not able to participate in charity effectively. B. Social isolation in modern society is mainly caused by lack of charity. C. Being kind would have significant impact on health. D. Being kind can remove depression and anxiety. 【答案】46. A 47. A 48. C 49. B 50. C 【解析】 【导语】文章主要讲述了利他主义行为在多个方面对个人和社区的益处。 【46题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第一段中“In an increasingly individualistic world, the act of giving — whether time, resources, or skills — serves as a powerful antidote to societal isolation.(在一个日益个人主义的世界里，给予的行为——无论是时间、资源还是技能——都是对抗社会孤立的antidote。)”可知，在日益个人主义的世界里，给予的行为是对抗社会孤立的有力解药，由此可推测出antidote意为“有效的解决办法”。 【47题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Engaging in acts of kindness triggers the release of endorphins (内啡肽), the so-called “helper’s high,” which can enhance mood and promote feelings of happiness.(行善会触发内啡肽的释放，即所谓的“助人高潮”，这可以改善情绪，促进幸福感。)”可知，行善会触发内啡肽的释放，从而改善情绪，这是行善的直接和即时结果。 【48题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是根据第一段中“This essay explores the multifaceted benefits of altruism (利他主义), emphasizing its role in nurturing community bonds and promoting individual fulfillment.(本文探讨了利他主义的多方面益处，强调了其在培养社区纽带和促进个人成就感方面的作用。)”可知，本文主要讲述了利他主义行为在多个方面对个人和社区的益处。 【49题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“This essay explores the multifaceted benefits of altruism (利他主义), emphasizing its role in nurturing community bonds and promoting individual fulfillment.(本文探讨了利他主义的多方面益处，强调了其在培养社区纽带和促进个人成就感方面的作用。)”以及第二段的首句“At the core of voluntary engagement lies the natural human desire for connection.(自愿参与的核心是人类对联系的自然渴望。)”、第三段的首句“Moreover, altruism has been shown to contribute significantly to an individual’s mental health.(此外，利他主义已被证明对个人的心理健康有显著贡献。)”、“Furthermore, acts of kindness cultivate empathy and inner strength, attributes essential for enduring human relationships.(此外，善举培养同理心和内在力量，这是维持人际关系所必需的特质。)”可知，文章先提出一个论点，即利他主义在培养社区纽带和促进个人成就感方面起着重要作用，然后用三个论据来支持这一论点，分别是自愿参与的核心是人类对联系的自然渴望、利他主义对个人的心理健康有显著贡献、善举培养同理心和内在力量。 【50题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“Engaging in acts of kindness triggers the release of endorphins (内啡肽), the so-called “helper’s high,” which can enhance mood and promote feelings of happiness. Research by the Journal of Happiness Studies indicates that individuals who engage in regular volunteer work experience lower rates of depression and anxiety, leading to an overall improvement in life satisfaction.(行善会触发内啡肽的释放，即所谓的“助人高潮”，这可以改善情绪，促进幸福感。《幸福研究杂志》的研究表明，经常参加志愿工作的人患抑郁症和焦虑症的几率较低，从而全面提高了生活满意度。)”可知，行善可以触发内啡肽的释放，改善情绪，促进幸福感，经常参加志愿工作的人患抑郁症和焦虑症的几率较低，由此可推测出，善良对健康有显著影响。 D Ask most people what “the good life” involves, and they will likely draw up a rapid list of goods — money, friendship, a rewarding career, etc. Even Aristotle, who believed that the key to happiness is the cultivation (培养) and exercise of virtue, still thought certain goods were either necessary conditions for happiness or were goods that came to virtuous people. If we’re comparing how happy various people’s lives are, it seems natural to look for certain goods, and compare who has more of them. Let’s imagine the lives of two actors, Toby and Ybot. Toby struggles to get work for many years, suffering all sorts of difficulties. He becomes a famous and wealthy actor, and wins an Oscar for his final movie before retiring. Ybot, however, wins an Oscar for his very first film role. But over time he becomes less famous and less well paid, and he begins to suffer difficulties. In the end, he retires as a nobody. These two actors’ lives, like their names, are mirror-images. Toby and Ybot both seem to lead lives of equal net worth. Yet most of us would think that the ordering of these goods does make a decisive difference to how we compare Toby and Ybot’s careers. Someone who climbs a mountain will experience more struggle than someone who gets carried to the peak by bus, but the climber will also have a sense of accomplishment the other person may well envy. In that sense, we might think Toby’s life is better because his highs seem more well-earned than Ybot’s do. But that’s not the whole story. The narrative (叙述) itself seems to make a difference. A life of early success followed by decline seems like a less overall successful life than one where success comes later in the day. Where the story ends seems to matter in itself. We value happy endings, not just happy moments. This immediate judgment finds expression in what’s been called the “shape of life” hypothesis (假说). On this view, living a good life is not simply about having the right kind of experiences or life-events, but of having them in the right order. The hypothesis suggests that our lives are not simply bags into which we stuff good things and bad things. The type of life — the narrative of that life-story — matters too. Without the right shape, even a life full of wondrous things can end up as a tale we’d prefer not to live out. 51. What can be learned about Aristotle’s view on happiness? A. Goods contribute to happiness. B. Virtuous people may not be happy. C. Too many goods reduce happiness. D. Happy people care less about goods. 52. According to the author, what do both Toby and Ybot experience? A. They start from a humble beginning. B. They reach the same height in career. C. They recover from the same sufferings. D. They retire with honour from the film industry. 53. What does the author try to convey with the example of mountain climbing? A. Easy success is often envied. B. There are various paths to success. C. Fierce struggle is vital to success. D. Hard-earned success is treasured more. 54. In writing Paragraph 4, the author tries to________. A. introduce another topic B. draw a conclusion C. further an argument D. provide new evidence 55. What could be the best title for the passage? A. To Shape Your Life with Good Deeds. B. Defining the Shape of a Good Life. C. The Essential Components of Good Life. D. How We Can Have a Good Shape of Life. 【答案】51. A 52. B 53. D 54. C 55. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要讨论了何为“美好生活”，指出美好生活不仅关乎经历的内容，还关乎经历的顺序（即生活的“形态”）。 【51题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“Even Aristotle, who believed that the key to happiness is the cultivation (培养) and exercise of virtue, still thought certain goods were either necessary conditions for happiness or were goods that came to virtuous people.(即使是亚里士多德，他也认为幸福的关键在于美德的培养和锻炼，但他仍然认为某些物品要么是幸福的必要条件，要么是美德之人所能获得的物品)”可知，亚里士多德认为某些物品对幸福是必要的，或者美德之人会获得这些物品，即物品有助于幸福。故选A。 【52题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Toby struggles to get work for many years, suffering all sorts of difficulties. He becomes a famous and wealthy actor, and wins an Oscar for his final movie before retiring. Ybot, however, wins an Oscar for his very first film role.(托比多年来一直在努力找工作，经历了各种各样的困难。他成为了一名著名而富有的演员，并在退休前的最后一部电影中获得了奥斯卡奖。然而，伊博特凭借他的第一部电影角色赢得了奥斯卡奖)”以及第三段“These two actors’ lives, like their names, are mirror-images. Toby and Ybot both seem to lead lives of equal net worth.(这两位演员的人生，就像他们的名字一样，是互为镜像的存在。托比和伊博特的人生净值似乎不相上下)”可知，两人都获得了奥斯卡奖，达到了职业生涯的顶峰，即他们在事业上达到了相同的高度。故选B。 【53题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“Someone who climbs a mountain will experience more struggle than someone who gets carried to the peak by bus, but the climber will also have a sense of accomplishment the other person may well envy. In that sense, we might think Toby’s life is better because his highs seem more well-earned than Ybot’s do.(爬山的人比坐公交车到山顶的人会经历更多的挣扎，但爬山的人也会有一种成就感，这是另一个人可能会羡慕的。从这个意义上说，我们可能会认为托比的生活更好，因为他的高峰似乎比伊博特的更值得)”可知，作者通过爬山的例子试图传达的是：辛苦得来的成功更受珍视。故选D。 【54题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“But that’s not the whole story. The narrative (叙述) itself seems to make a difference.(但这并不是全部。叙述本身似乎也有影响)”以及“Where the story ends seems to matter in itself.(故事的结局本身很重要)”并结合后文对生活叙述顺序的讨论可知，作者在写第四段是试图进一步论证前文提出的“生活形态”假说，即生活的叙述顺序也很重要。故选C。 【55题详解】 主旨大意题。根据全文内容，尤其是最后一段中“This immediate judgment finds expression in what’s been called the “shape of life” hypothesis (假说). On this view, living a good life is not simply about having the right kind of experiences or life-events, but of having them in the right order.(这种直接的判断体现在所谓的“生活形态”假说中。从这个观点来看，过上美好的生活不仅仅是拥有正确的经历或生活事件，而是以正确的顺序拥有它们)”可知，文章主要讨论了何为“美好生活”的形态，即美好生活不仅关乎经历的内容，还关乎经历的顺序。因此，B选项“Defining the Shape of a Good Life(定义美好生活的形态)”最符合文章主旨，适合作为标题。故选B。 第 Ⅱ 卷 非选择题（满分35分） 第一节 阅读表达（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 阅读表达 Just like everyone, I have experienced ups and downs in my life. I am an aerospace engineer from India, I was told by my relatives, close friends and others that it was hard for a non-IT student to pursue a master's degree in IT and graduate from a US university. I had never taken courses related to computers or programming. I was never interested in being a programmer, but things changed. I became so fascinated with the convenience IT has brought to our life that I made up my mind in chasing a master's degree in IT. At first, I came across too many difficulties and setbacks. Coming from a middle-class family, the huge cost per credit was a big issue. My English accent was terrible. Most importantly, the course seemed impossible at first. Although I felt so discouraged and frustrated, I never thought of giving up. Then I decided to choose my university because it promised its students to help them learn practically. During my first month, it was difficult to understand the Americans' accent and finish my assignments. But I never gave in. I walked two miles to the university every day so that I could use my travel money to buy a meal. I started looking for jobs and I got an offer to work as a student assistant, which meant lifting benches and chairs every day. I took all these challenges as my chances, and I believed that hard work was my strength. Right now I am graduating with a GPA of 3.96/4 and a job offer from a multinational company that has asked me to start right after graduation. When you have a dream to realize, there is nothing that can stop you. All you need is the diligence and persistence. Hard work always pays off. Having a determined will is also necessary. 56.

Lush with wild grass and colorful flowers, it was a lively world teeming with a variety of birds and insects. This small piece of land served as her perfect quiet refuge, enabling her to escape the daily chaos of her noisy apartment, where her siblings were always chasing and yelling loudly. Tia often lost herself in watching butterflies dancing gracefully above the bright flowers or listening to the soft chirps of sparrows hidden secretly in the thick grass. Though most people considered the lot worthless and often left trash such as broken wheels, rusty mailboxes and empty bottles there, Tia cherished every moment she spent there-sitting quietly under the blue sky, enjoying the cool soft wind and the warm golden sunshine. She ever planted a few wild flowers in the corner, hoping to make its natural beauty last much longer. One day, Mama told Tia that the city government planned to pave the lot and turn it into a commercial parking lot. Tia was so frustrated that she cried all night. She couldn’t help wonder in why no one could notice the simple, pure beauty of this small natural corner. Mama gently encouraged her: “To make others see what you see, you must speak up bravely instead of grieving silently.” Early the next morning, Tia dragged a wooden chair to the lot, holding a hand-painted sign that read “NO PARKING LOT! SAVE OUR NATURE!” and staged a peaceful sit-in protest. At first, passers-by ignored her and some boys teased her, but she refused to give in. Instead, she patiently explained the great value of nature to anyone who stopped, with a firm belief in her heart. A week later, more and more neighbors joined the protest. They worked together to clean up the garbage and make colorful signs, showing their deep love for the environment. The once-overlooked lot became the focus of the whole community. Tia felt truly proud for fighting fearlessly for what she loved deeply. However, a sudden mysterious phone call late at night left the future of the lot uncertain, unexpectedly turning this small corner into a common goal for all the concerned neighbors. 41. What did Tia think of the vacant lot? A. It was a noisy place where she couldn’t focus on her studies. B. It was a perfect place to play with her siblings and friends. C. It was a worthless corner full of rubbish and wild grass. D. It was a treasure full of natural beauty and a peaceful shelter. 42. What can we infer about Tia from her protest? A. She was easily affected by others’ laughter. B. She was determined and brave to protect her treasure. C. She succeeded in stopping the city’s plan at once. D. She did it only to make herself feel better. 43. What does the underlined word “frustrated” probably mean? A. Calm and relaxed. B. Surprised and curious. C. Upset and disappointed. D. Excited and hopeful. 44. What can we learn from Paragraph 4? A. Tia’s protest was supported at first. B. Tia kept trying though facing difficulties. C. Passers-by laughed at her and joined her later. D. The sign was made by Tia and her mother. 45. What will probably be talked about next? A. How the neighbors dealt with the phone call and saved the lot. B. Why the neighbors gave up protecting the vacant lot. C. When Tia would move to a new quiet apartment. D. What the city would build instead of a parking lot. C In an increasingly individualistic world, the act of giving — whether time, resources, or skills — serves as a powerful antidote to societal isolation. Engaging in charity activities fosters deeper human connections, enhances interpersonal relationships, and profoundly influences individuals’ mental and emotional well-being. This essay explores the multifaceted benefits of altruism (利他主义), emphasizing its role in nurturing community bonds and promoting individual fulfillment. At the core of voluntary engagement lies the natural human desire for connection. Participating in community service or charitable initiatives cultivates a sense of belonging, linking individuals with like-minded peers who share similar values and commitments. These shared experiences often lead to the formation of lasting friendships and networks, as individuals unite under a common purpose. For instance, volunteering at a local shelter not only addresses immediate community needs but also offers participants an opportunity to connect on a personal level, thus reinforcing social ties that might otherwise remain superficial. Moreover, altruism has been shown to contribute significantly to an individual’s mental health. Engaging in acts of kindness triggers the release of endorphins (内啡肽), the so-called “helper’s high,” which can enhance mood and promote feelings of happiness. Research by the Journal of Happiness Studies indicates that individuals who engage in regular volunteer work experience lower rates of depression and anxiety, leading to an overall improvement in life satisfaction. This psychological uplift extends beyond the individual, as happy people are more likely to engage positively in their communities, creating a positive cycle of altruism and well-being. Furthermore, acts of kindness cultivate empathy and inner strength, attributes essential for enduring human relationships. By actively engaging with diverse communities and understanding the struggles faced by others, individuals reinforce their capacity for compassion. This deepened empathy not only enhances interpersonal dynamics but also fosters a more inclusive and understanding society. Additionally, the experiences drawn from voluntary activity often encourage reflection and personal growth, helping individuals develop coping mechanisms and emotional perseverance. In conclusion, the benefits of goodwill extend far beyond the immediate impact of charitable acts. By fostering interpersonal connections and enhancing emotional well-being, acts of giving play a crucial role in building stronger, more resilient communities. In a world increasingly characterized by isolation and detachment, the embrace of altruism presents a powerful solution to reinvigorate (使…焕新) human connections and improve individual mental health. The cultivation of a giving spirit enriches not only the lives of those we help but also our own, creating a more compassionate and harmonious society. By choosing to engage in giving, we can transform not only our lives but also the fabric of our communities. 46. What does the word “antidote” most probably mean in Paragraph 1? A. An effective solution. B. A harmful result. C. A social trend. D. A mental disease. 47. According to the passage, which is an immediate and direct result of engaging in acts of kindness? A. The release of endorphins that improve mood. B. The significant improvement of social fairness. C. The building of lasting friendships and social networks. D. The cultivation of empathy and emotional resilience. 48. What is the main idea of the essay? A. Individualism is the root cause of societal problems. B. Altruism is the only solution to mental health issues. C. Giving behavior benefit individuals and communities in many ways. D. Modern society is becoming more and more individualistic and isolated. 49. How is the passage mainly organized? A. By presenting a problem and then offering several solutions. B. By stating a claim and supporting it with three arguments. C. By comparing different views on the value of acts of kindness. D. By listing historical examples to explain altruistic behavior. 50. Based on the essay, what can be inferred from the passage? A. People without extra money are not able to participate in charity effectively. B. Social isolation in modern society is mainly caused by lack of charity. C. Being kind would have significant impact on health. D. Being kind can remove depression and anxiety. D Ask most people what “the good life” involves, and they will likely draw up a rapid list of goods — money, friendship, a rewarding career, etc. Even Aristotle, who believed that the key to happiness is the cultivation (培养) and exercise of virtue, still thought certain goods were either necessary conditions for happiness or were goods that came to virtuous people. If we’re comparing how happy various people’s lives are, it seems natural to look for certain goods, and compare who has more of them. Let’s imagine the lives of two actors, Toby and Ybot. Toby struggles to get work for many years, suffering all sorts of difficulties. He becomes a famous and wealthy actor, and wins an Oscar for his final movie before retiring. Ybot, however, wins an Oscar for his very first film role. But over time he becomes less famous and less well paid, and he begins to suffer difficulties. In the end, he retires as a nobody. These two actors’ lives, like their names, are mirror-images. Toby and Ybot both seem to lead lives of equal net worth. Yet most of us would think that the ordering of these goods does make a decisive difference to how we compare Toby and Ybot’s careers. Someone who climbs a mountain will experience more struggle than someone who gets carried to the peak by bus, but the climber will also have a sense of accomplishment the other person may well envy. In that sense, we might think Toby’s life is better because his highs seem more well-earned than Ybot’s do. But that’s not the whole story. The narrative (叙述) itself seems to make a difference. A life of early success followed by decline seems like a less overall successful life than one where success comes later in the day. Where the story ends seems to matter in itself. We value happy endings, not just happy moments. This immediate judgment finds expression in what’s been called the “shape of life” hypothesis (假说). On this view, living a good life is not simply about having the right kind of experiences or life-events, but of having them in the right order. The hypothesis suggests that our lives are not simply bags into which we stuff good things and bad things. The type of life — the narrative of that life-story — matters too. Without the right shape, even a life full of wondrous things can end up as a tale we’d prefer not to live out. 51. What can be learned about Aristotle’s view on happiness? A. Goods contribute to happiness. B. Virtuous people may not be happy. C. Too many goods reduce happiness. D. Happy people care less about goods. 52. According to the author, what do both Toby and Ybot experience? A. They start from a humble beginning. B. They reach the same height in career. C. They recover from the same sufferings. D. They retire with honour from the film industry. 53. What does the author try to convey with the example of mountain climbing? A. Easy success is often envied. B. There are various paths to success. C. Fierce struggle is vital to success. D. Hard-earned success is treasured more. 54. In writing Paragraph 4, the author tries to________. A. introduce another topic B. draw a conclusion C. further an argument D. provide new evidence 55. What could be the best title for the passage? A. To Shape Your Life with Good Deeds. B. Defining the Shape of a Good Life. C. The Essential Components of Good Life. D. How We Can Have a Good Shape of Life. 第 Ⅱ 卷 非选择题（满分35分） 第一节 阅读表达（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 阅读表达 Just like everyone, I have experienced ups and downs in my life. I am an aerospace engineer from India, I was told by my relatives, close friends and others that it was hard for a non-IT student to pursue a master's degree in IT and graduate from a US university. I had never taken courses related to computers or programming. I was never interested in being a programmer, but things changed. I became so fascinated with the convenience IT has brought to our life that I made up my mind in chasing a master's degree in IT. At first, I came across too many difficulties and setbacks. Coming from a middle-class family, the huge cost per credit was a big issue. My English accent was terrible. Most importantly, the course seemed impossible at first. Although I felt so discouraged and frustrated, I never thought of giving up. Then I decided to choose my university because it promised its students to help them learn practically. During my first month, it was difficult to understand the Americans' accent and finish my assignments. But I never gave in. I walked two miles to the university every day so that I could use my travel money to buy a meal. I started looking for jobs and I got an offer to work as a student assistant, which meant lifting benches and chairs every day. I took all these challenges as my chances, and I believed that hard work was my strength. Right now I am graduating with a GPA of 3.96/4 and a job offer from a multinational company that has asked me to start right after graduation. When you have a dream to realize, there is nothing that can stop you. All you need is the diligence and persistence. Hard work always pays off. Having a determined will is also necessary. 56.
