第三节:阅读理解 (共16小题;每小题2.5分,满分40分)
A
It’s wonderful to have a relaxing bath in mineral water while looking out over beautiful scenery. If you live in the US or are planning a visit, consider going to one of the two natural hot springs (温泉) in the western US:
Travertine Hot Springs
At the edge of the Sierra Nevada Mountains near Bridgeport, California lie the Travertine Hot Springs. The orange, green, and red rocks and the mountains create beautiful views for you to enjoy while you bathe. Each pool is a different temperature, so you can find one that’s comfortable for you. These springs can easily be reached by car. Take Route 395 south from Bridgeport and turn left onto Jack Sawyer Road. In about a mile you’ll arrive at the springs. If you like to camp, you can camp along Jack Sawyer Road.
Bagby Hot Springs
In the middle of an ancient forest you’ll find the Bagby Hot Springs. At the springs there are wooden bathhouses, with both private baths and communal baths. Through a system of pipes the spring water is brought to the baths at a temperature of 136 degrees Fahrenheit. If that’s too hot buckets of cold water are also available to mix into the bathtub (浴缸) or to cool off with after your bath.
The Bagby Springs are about 45 minutes from Estacada, Oregon, on Highway 224. To get to the bathhouse there is a 1.5-mile walk from the parking lot through the beautiful Mt. Hood National Forest. While in the area, make sure to visit Portland, which is known for its coffee, restaurants, and music.
The best time to visit the two hot springs is in late spring, or in summer or fall. While in the area, check out the Curecanti National Recreation Area, where you can enjoy canoeing, fishing, bird watching, camping, and hiking.
41. Which is not the advantage of bathing in the spring in California?
A. Beautiful scenery can be seen while bathing there.
B. You can choose different pools suitable for you.
C. It’s convenient for families with cars to travel there.
D. You can camp anywhere around the springs.
42. What does the underlined word in the 3rd paragraph mean?
A. shared B. comfortable
C. personal D. common
43. The two springs are similar to each other in ________.
A. the temperature of the two springs
B. beautiful views near the springs
C. the walking distance from the parking lot
D. the design of the bathhouses
44. You’d better visit these springs in the following months except ________.
A. May B. July
C. October D. December
45. Where might we read this passage?
A. A report. B. A paper.
C. A magazine. D. A diary.
B
Janelle was running late for work, so she just had time for a quick look at herself in the mirror as she was going out. What she saw there made her stop dead in her tracks.
Being a busy college student just one year removed from her teenage years, she wasn’t exactly obsessive-compulsive (有强迫观念和行为的) about the neatness of her clothes. But her boss at the restaurant where she works saw things a little differently. He had recently lectured the entire staff on the importance of appearance, and had specifically mentioned the need for servers to wear clean, unwrinkled blouses. As an assistant manager, Janelle felt it was important to set an example for the other employees. But if she stopped to iron the blouse normally, she would be late and arriving at the right time was an area of even greater concern to her boss.
So she grabbed her iron and plugged it in and set it for low heat. Carefully holding her blouse away from her body, she continued to iron it while she was wearing it. It seemed like a logical answer to an urgent problem.
And it seemed to be working until Janelle tried to iron the collar and accidentally ironed her neck by mistake. Then it suddenly seemed like a really stupid idea and a really painful one as well. It took more time to treat her burn than it would have taken to iron her shirt properly. And she spent a miserable shift dealing with the pain of the burn.
We’ve all been there, haven’t we? For me it was cutting my own hair. For a former roommate it was trying to pull his own wisdom teeth. For another college acquaintance, it was trying to change the oil in his car while the motor was still running.
“There’s a right way and a wrong way of doing things,” Dad used to tell me whenever I’d spoil the look of our yard by trying out a faster, easier and more creative way of pulling weeds or edging the lawn.” If a thing is worth doing,” he said, “it’s worth doing it right.” There’s a reason why certain things are done in certain ways. Those old, boring, predictable ways work.
46. Janelle found in the mirror that ________.
A. there were stains on her blouse B. she wore heavy makeup
C. she put on a wrong blouse D. her blouse was wrinkled
47. It’s learned from Paragraph 2 that ________.
A. Janelle’s boss put doing something on time above appearance.
B. Janelle had no sense of responsibility at work.
C. Janelle failed to set an example for employees in daily work.
D. Janelle didn’t care about the neatness of her clothes at all.
48. How did the author first think of Janelle’s way to deal with her problem?
A. Ridiculous. B. Fantastic.
C. Puzzling. D. Reasonable.
49. What does the underlined sentence in the fifth paragraph mean?
A. We are careful enough in daily life.
B. We all have done something creative.
C. We all have done loads of things like Janelle.
D. We all have tried to iron clothes while we are wearing them.
50. What does the author mainly want to tell readers in the last paragraph?
A. Be creative. B. Do things right.
C. A bad beginning makes a bad ending. D. Stick to old ways.
C
Two friends have an argument that breaks up their friendship forever, even though neither one can remember how the whole thing got started. Such sad events happen over and over in high schools across the country. In fact, according to an official report on youth violence, “in our country today, the greatest threat to the lives of children and adolescents is not disease or starvation or abandonment, but the terrible reality of violence”. Given that this is the case, why aren’t students taught to manage conflict the way they are taught to solve math problems, drive cars, or stay physically fit?
First of all, students need to realize that conflict is unavoidable. A report on violence among middle school and high school students indicates that most violent incidents between students begin with a relatively minor insult. For example, a fight could start over the fact that one student eats a peanut butter sandwich each lunchtime. Laughter over the sandwich can lead to insults, which in turn can lead to violence. The problem isn’t in the sandwich, but in the way students deal with the conflict.
Once students recognize that conflict is unavoidable, they can practice the golden rule of conflict resolution: stay calm. Once the student feels calmer, he or she should choose words that will calm the other person down as well. Rude words, name-calling, and accusation only add fuel to the emotional fire. On the other hand, soft words spoken at a normal sound level can put out the fire before it explodes out of control.
After both sides have calmed down, they can use another key strategy for conflict resolution: listening. Listening allows the two sides to understand each other. One person should describe his or her side, and the other person should listen without interrupting. Afterward, the listener can ask non-threatening questions to clarify the speaker’s position. Then the two people should change roles.
Finally, students need to consider what they are hearing. This doesn’t mean trying to figure out what’s wrong with the other person. It means understanding what the real issue is and what both sides are trying to accomplish. For example, a shouting match over a peanut butter sandwich might happen because one person thinks the other person is unwilling to try new things. Students need to ask themselves questions such as these: How did this start? What do I really want? What am I afraid of? As the issue becomes clearer, the conflict often simply becomes smaller. Even if it doesn’t, careful thought helps both sides figure out a mutual solution.
There will always be conflict in schools, but that doesn’t mean there needs to be violence. After students in Atlanta started a conflict resolution program, according to Educators for Social Responsibility, “64% of the teachers reported less physical violence in the classroom; 75% of the teachers reported an increase in student cooperation; and 92% of the students felt better about themselves”. Learning to resolve conflicts can help students deal with friends, teachers, parents, bosses, and coworkers. In that way, conflict resolution is a basic life skill that should be taught in schools across the country.
51. This article is mainly about ________.
A. the lives of school children B. the cause of arguments in schools
C. how to analyze youth violence D. how to deal with school conflicts
52. From Paragraph 2 we can learn that ________.
A. violence is more likely to occur at lunchtime
B. a small conflict can lead to violence
C. students tend to lose their temper easily
D. the eating habit of a student is often the cause of a fight
53. The underlined phrase in the 3rd paragraph means ________.
A. inspire one’s enthusiasm B. lift one’s spirit
C. make things worse D. lead something to happen
54. Why do students need to ask themselves the questions stated in Paragraph 5?
A. To make clear what the real issue is. B. To get ready to try new things.
C. To find out who is to blame. D. To figure out how to stop the shouting match.
55. After the conflict resolution program was started in Atlanta, it was found that ________.
A. more teachers felt better about themselves in schools
B. there was less student cooperation in the classroom
C. there was a decrease in classroom violence
D. the teacher-student relationship greatly improved
56. The writer’s purpose for writing this article is to ________.
A. present the golden rule of conflict resolution
B. teach students proper strategies for school life
C. inform teachers of the latest studies on school violence
D. advocate teaching conflict management in schools

I used to chase happiness a lot when I began to work. I would run after different experiences--goals, achievements and success, because I was quite sure that once I caught up with them, happiness would be with me. It was during that period that I learned happiness was a very fast runner.
Later, I tried to sneak up on happiness. I thought if I didn’t care too little or too much but just enough, it wouldn’t see me coming and then I could catch it.
It turned out that happiness is similar to owls, for both of them have 360-degree vision and extremely sharp hearing. Finally, I decided to sit still, very quietly, until happiness forgot I was there, let down its guard and got close to me. This, surprisingly, worked better than either of the other two ways.
After reading a passage in Time, I think I know the reason. Apparently, for Americans, the chase of happiness is just linked to achieving individual goals which is different from that in other cultures. In many cultures, happiness is regarded as a social phenomenon that happens most readily when it is shared. But our society puts the responsibility for catching happiness on each individual’s shoulders --a heavy burden indeed.
On Facebook, there are a lot of unbelievably happy people doing amazing happiness—producing things every day. However, most of the time, no one is really that happy all the time behind the scenes.
I also like what a famous businessman told Time reporter Mandy Oaklander, “A happy life doesn’t consist of happy moments but every moment of the day.”
Now you know how to get happiness, don’t you?

从A、B、C、D四个选项中,选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
1. — Could you do me a favor and take the box up to the sixth floor?
— __________.
A. No comment B. With pleasure C. No wonder D. My pleasure
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】句意:——你能帮我个忙,把这个箱子拿到六楼吗?——非常乐意。 A. No comment无可奉告;B. With pleasure非常乐意;C. No wonder难怪;D. My pleasure我的荣幸。 题干中Could you do me a favor and...意为“你能帮我个忙……吗?”,是请求别人帮忙,回答别人的请求时,同意帮忙常用With pleasure。
2. This X-ray machine ________ work, so it needs ________for further use.
A. does; to repair B. doesn’t; repaired
C. won’t; repairing D. would; to be repaired
【答案】C

5. The theory he firmly sticks to proves to be completely useless in his new job __________ he struggles to adjust, due to its conflict with new methods.
A. when B. with which C. to which D. that
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】句意:他始终坚持的理论由于与新方法相冲突,在他努力适应的新工作中被证明完全无用。空格处引导定语从句,修饰先行词his new job。从句中adjust为不及物动词,表示“适应”时常与介词to搭配,即固定搭配adjust to sth。关系代词代替先行词在从句中作介词to的宾语,且先行词指物,故使用“介词to + 关系代词which”引导该定语从句。

【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】考查动词时态。句意:我大学毕业后学了三年法语,这帮我在巴黎找到了一份好工作。根据“after I graduated from university”可知,“学习法语”是大学毕业后过去某段时间内完成的动作,不持续到现在,应用一般过去时。故填D。

【答案】A

【详解】考查定语从句。句意:就像年轻人常有的情况一样,我们已经进入了一个关键阶段,在这个阶段我们必须在个人梦想与家庭和社会的期望之间取得平衡,而这正是许多人在二十岁出头时感到困惑或有压力的原因。两个空均引导定语从句,第一空,先行词是a critical stage(抽象地点名词),在定语从句中充当地点状语,因此用关系副词where引导。第二空,先行词是the reason,在定语从句中作原因状语,因此用关系副词why引导,也可以用“for which”。故选A。

18. When you need help, ________ the people who care about you, such as parents or other relatives.
A. reach out to B. speak highly of
C. get a load of D. stay away from

【点睛】情景交际的难度较大,除了解个选项的意思外,抓住答语的暗示也很重要,例如本题,根据答语“Don’t you think the violence in it goes too far?”可知,第二人不喜欢电影《海王》,四项中只有B项I beg to differ(恕我不敢苟同)表示不同意别人的观点,故B项正确。

第三节:阅读理解 (共16小题;每小题2.5分,满分40分)
A
It’s wonderful to have a relaxing bath in mineral water while looking out over beautiful scenery. If you live in the US or are planning a visit, consider going to one of the two natural hot springs (温泉) in the western US:
Travertine Hot Springs
At the edge of the Sierra Nevada Mountains near Bridgeport, California lie the Travertine Hot Springs. The orange, green, and red rocks and the mountains create beautiful views for you to enjoy while you bathe. Each pool is a different temperature, so you can find one that’s comfortable for you. These springs can easily be reached by car. Take Route 395 south from Bridgeport and turn left onto Jack Sawyer Road. In about a mile you’ll arrive at the springs. If you like to camp, you can camp along Jack Sawyer Road.
Bagby Hot Springs
In the middle of an ancient forest you’ll find the Bagby Hot Springs. At the springs there are wooden bathhouses, with both private baths and communal baths. Through a system of pipes the spring water is brought to the baths at a temperature of 136 degrees Fahrenheit. If that’s too hot buckets of cold water are also available to mix into the bathtub (浴缸) or to cool off with after your bath.
The Bagby Springs are about 45 minutes from Estacada, Oregon, on Highway 224. To get to the bathhouse there is a 1.5-mile walk from the parking lot through the beautiful Mt. Hood National Forest. While in the area, make sure to visit Portland, which is known for its coffee, restaurants, and music.
The best time to visit the two hot springs is in late spring, or in summer or fall. While in the area, check out the Curecanti National Recreation Area, where you can enjoy canoeing, fishing, bird watching, camping, and hiking.
41. Which is not the advantage of bathing in the spring in California?
A. Beautiful scenery can be seen while bathing there.
B. You can choose different pools suitable for you.
C. It’s convenient for families with cars to travel there.
D. You can camp anywhere around the springs.
42. What does the underlined word in the 3rd paragraph mean?
A. shared B. comfortable
C. personal D. common
43. The two springs are similar to each other in ________.
A. the temperature of the two springs
B. beautiful views near the springs
C. the walking distance from the parking lot
D. the design of the bathhouses
44. You’d better visit these springs in the following months except ________.
A. May B. July
C. October D. December
45. Where might we read this passage?
A. A report. B. A paper.
C. A magazine. D. A diary.
【答案】41. D 42. A 43. B 44. D 45. C
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇应用文。文章介绍了美国西部的两处温泉。
【41题详解】
推理判断题。第二段中的Take Route 395 south from Bridgeport and turn left onto Jack Sawyer Road. In about a mile you’ll arrive at the springs. If you like to camp, you can camp along Jack Sawyer Road. 从布里奇波特向南走395号公路,左转到杰克索耶路。大约一英里后,你会到达温泉。如果你喜欢露营,你可以沿着杰克索耶路露营。说明杰克索耶路离温泉还有一段距离,在加利福尼亚的温泉泡澡只能沿着杰克索耶路露营,没法在温泉附近露营,选项D你可以随意在温泉附近露营。所以这不是这处温泉的优点,切题,故选D。
【42题详解】
词义猜测题。第三段中的At the springs there are wooden bathhouses, with both private baths and communal baths. 温泉设有木制浴室,既有私人浴室又公共浴室。在句中both…and不但……而且,用于连接两个表示并列关系的名词或代词,both后是private baths(私人的浴室),and后的词应与此对称,应为“公用的浴室”,画线词的词义就应是“公用的”,选项A共有的,合用的,切题,故选A。
【43题详解】
细节理解题。第二段中的The orange, green, and red rocks and the mountains create beautiful views for you to enjoy while you bathe. 橙色、绿色和红色的岩石和山脉为您营造美丽的景色,让您在洗温泉时尽情享受。可知,第一处温泉周围景色美丽。第四段中的To get to the bathhouse there is a 1.5-mile walk from the parking lot through the beautiful Mt. Hood National Forest. 要前往浴室,从停车场步行1.5英里,穿过美丽的胡德山国家森林就到了。可知,第二处温泉周围的自然景色很美丽。这两处温泉的相似之处是它们周围美丽的景色。选项B温泉周围美丽的景色,切题,故选B。
【44题详解】
细节理解题。文章最后一段的The best time to visit the two hot springs is in late spring, or in summer or fall. 游览两个温泉的最佳时间是在春末,或在夏季或秋季。可知,游览的最佳时间不包括冬季,选项D12月份,12月份在冬季,切题,故选D。
【45题详解】
推理判断题。文章介绍的是两处温泉,是向旅游者推荐的旅游项目和线路,面向大量的普通阅读人群,吸引大家前往。发行后还要有一定的保有时间,保证受众充分,报纸时间间隔太短,杂志是适合的媒介,选项C杂志,切题,故选C。
【点睛】阅读理解题中的反向思维题要注意题干中问题的否定问法,找到细节后要反向下结论,不要把文章细节直接做为答案,避免干扰。本题中的第1小题和第4小题都是反向思维题。第1小题是问哪一个不是它的优点,要找到不能很便利做的,而不是能方便做的选项。第4小题是问除了哪个季节外,也就是哪个季节最好不要去,文中提到了三个季节,是适合去的,剩下一个季节才是不适合去的。
B
Janelle was running late for work, so she just had time for a quick look at herself in the mirror as she was going out. What she saw there made her stop dead in her tracks.
Being a busy college student just one year removed from her teenage years, she wasn’t exactly obsessive-compulsive (有强迫观念和行为的) about the neatness of her clothes. But her boss at the restaurant where she works saw things a little differently. He had recently lectured the entire staff on the importance of appearance, and had specifically mentioned the need for servers to wear clean, unwrinkled blouses. As an assistant manager, Janelle felt it was important to set an example for the other employees. But if she stopped to iron the blouse normally, she would be late and arriving at the right time was an area of even greater concern to her boss.
So she grabbed her iron and plugged it in and set it for low heat. Carefully holding her blouse away from her body, she continued to iron it while she was wearing it. It seemed like a logical answer to an urgent problem.
And it seemed to be working until Janelle tried to iron the collar and accidentally ironed her neck by mistake. Then it suddenly seemed like a really stupid idea and a really painful one as well. It took more time to treat her burn than it would have taken to iron her shirt properly. And she spent a miserable shift dealing with the pain of the burn.
We’ve all been there, haven’t we? For me it was cutting my own hair. For a former roommate it was trying to pull his own wisdom teeth. For another college acquaintance, it was trying to change the oil in his car while the motor was still running.
“There’s a right way and a wrong way of doing things,” Dad used to tell me whenever I’d spoil the look of our yard by trying out a faster, easier and more creative way of pulling weeds or edging the lawn.” If a thing is worth doing,” he said, “it’s worth doing it right.” There’s a reason why certain things are done in certain ways. Those old, boring, predictable ways work.
46. Janelle found in the mirror that ________.

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了Janelle因上班快要迟到但又要符合老板对员工仪表的要求,于是穿着衬衫熨烫却不小心烫伤自己的经历,并由此引发关于做事方式的思考。
【46题详解】
细节理解题。由文章第二段中“He had recently lectured the entire staff on the importance of appearance, and had specifically mentioned the need for servers to wear clean, unwrinkled blouses. (他最近刚给全体员工讲过仪表的重要性,还特别提到了服务员需要穿着干净、没有褶皱的衬衫。)”可知,Jenelle应该看到的是她的衬衫是褶皱的,而这是老板不容许的,所以她才准备把它熨平。故选D。
【47题详解】
推断判断题。由第二段中“But if she stopped to iron the blouse normally, she would be late and arriving at the right time was an area of even greater concern to her boss. (但如果她像平常那样停下来熨烫衬衫的话,就会迟到,而能否准时到岗是她老板更为关注的事情。)”可知,比起衣着,Jenelle的老板更注重准时。故选A。
【48题详解】
细节理解题。由第三段“So she grabbed her iron and plugged it in and set it for low heat. Carefully holding her blouse away from her body, she continued to iron it while she was wearing it. It seemed like a logical answer to an urgent problem. (于是她抓起熨斗,插上插头,将温度调至低温档。她小心翼翼地把衬衫从身上拉开,就这么穿着衬衫继续熨烫起来。这似乎是解决这个紧急问题的一个合乎逻辑的办法。) ”可知,作者描述Janelle穿着衬衫熨烫的做法时,认为这似乎是解决紧急问题的一个合乎逻辑的办法,即一开始觉得是合理的。故选 D。
【49题详解】
词句猜测题。第五段划线句“We’ve all been there, haven’t we?”的下文列举了作者自己剪头发、前室友拔智齿、另一个大学熟人在发动机还运转时换汽车机油等事例,这些都是人们为了图省事或用特别的方式做事情却出问题的情况,和Janelle穿着衬衫熨烫结果烫伤自己类似,所以这句话意思是我们都做过很多像Janelle那样的事。故选C。
【50题详解】
推理判断题。由最后一段““There’s a right way and a wrong way of doing things,” Dad used to tell me whenever I’d spoil the look of our yard by trying out a faster, easier and more creative way of pulling weeds or edging the lawn.” If a thing is worth doing,” he said, “it’s worth doing it right.” There’s a reason why certain things are done in certain ways.” (“做事情有正确的方法,也有错误的方法,”每当我为了更快、更省事且更有创意地除草或给草坪修边,结果却把我们家院子弄得一团糟时,爸爸总会这样对我说。“如果一件事值得去做,”他说,“那就值得把它做好。某些事情之所以要用特定的方式去做,是有原因的。”) ”可知,作者最后用爸爸告诉他的话来告诫人们,要用a right way去做事情。故选B。
C
Two friends have an argument that breaks up their friendship forever, even though neither one can remember how the whole thing got started. Such sad events happen over and over in high schools across the country. In fact, according to an official report on youth violence, “in our country today, the greatest threat to the lives of children and adolescents is not disease or starvation or abandonment, but the terrible reality of violence”. Given that this is the case, why aren’t students taught to manage conflict the way they are taught to solve math problems, drive cars, or stay physically fit?
First of all, students need to realize that conflict is unavoidable. A report on violence among middle school and high school students indicates that most violent incidents between students begin with a relatively minor insult. For example, a fight could start over the fact that one student eats a peanut butter sandwich each lunchtime. Laughter over the sandwich can lead to insults, which in turn can lead to violence. The problem isn’t in the sandwich, but in the way students deal with the conflict.
Once students recognize that conflict is unavoidable, they can practice the golden rule of conflict resolution: stay calm. Once the student feels calmer, he or she should choose words that will calm the other person down as well. Rude words, name-calling, and accusation only add fuel to the emotional fire. On the other hand, soft words spoken at a normal sound level can put out the fire before it explodes out of control.
After both sides have calmed down, they can use another key strategy for conflict resolution: listening. Listening allows the two sides to understand each other. One person should describe his or her side, and the other person should listen without interrupting. Afterward, the listener can ask non-threatening questions to clarify the speaker’s position. Then the two people should change roles.
Finally, students need to consider what they are hearing. This doesn’t mean trying to figure out what’s wrong with the other person. It means understanding what the real issue is and what both sides are trying to accomplish. For example, a shouting match over a peanut butter sandwich might happen because one person thinks the other person is unwilling to try new things. Students need to ask themselves questions such as these: How did this start? What do I really want? What am I afraid of? As the issue becomes clearer, the conflict often simply becomes smaller. Even if it doesn’t, careful thought helps both sides figure out a mutual solution.
There will always be conflict in schools, but that doesn’t mean there needs to be violence. After students in Atlanta started a conflict resolution program, according to Educators for Social Responsibility, “64% of the teachers reported less physical violence in the classroom; 75% of the teachers reported an increase in student cooperation; and 92% of the students felt better about themselves”. Learning to resolve conflicts can help students deal with friends, teachers, parents, bosses, and coworkers. In that way, conflict resolution is a basic life skill that should be taught in schools across the country.
51. This article is mainly about ________.
A. the lives of school children B. the cause of arguments in schools
C. how to analyze youth violence D. how to deal with school conflicts
52. From Paragraph 2 we can learn that ________.
A. violence is more likely to occur at lunchtime
B. a small conflict can lead to violence
C. students tend to lose their temper easily
D. the eating habit of a student is often the cause of a fight
53. The underlined phrase in the 3rd paragraph means ________.
A. inspire one’s enthusiasm B. lift one’s spirit
C. make things worse D. lead something to happen
54. Why do students need to ask themselves the questions stated in Paragraph 5?
A. To make clear what the real issue is. B. To get ready to try new things.
C. To find out who is to blame. D. To figure out how to stop the shouting match.
55. After the conflict resolution program was started in Atlanta, it was found that ________.
A. more teachers felt better about themselves in schools
B. there was less student cooperation in the classroom
C. there was a decrease in classroom violence
D. the teacher-student relationship greatly improved
56. The writer’s purpose for writing this article is to ________.
A. present the golden rule of conflict resolution
B. teach students proper strategies for school life
C. inform teachers of the latest studies on school violence
D. advocate teaching conflict management in schools
【答案】51. D 52. B 53. C 54. A 55. C 56. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章介绍了校园暴力。学生在学校和同学发生冲突在所难免,但年轻的学生们有时为了一件小事而反目成仇,由冲突升级为暴力。对现在的孩子们来说,最大的威胁不是疾病,饥饿或遗弃,而是可怕的校园暴力。作者由此提议要在全国推行反对校园暴力的教育,毕竟,学会处理冲突也是一种基本的生存技能。
【51题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段中“Given that this is the case, why aren’t students taught to manage conflict the way they are taught to solve math problems, drive cars, or stay physically fit?(既然如此,那为什么学生们没有像学习解决数学问题、驾驶汽车或者保持身体健康那样,学会如何处理冲突呢?)”以及最后一段中“Learning to resolve conflicts can help students deal with friends, teachers, parents, bosses, and coworkers. In that way, conflict resolution is a basic life skill that should be taught in schools across the country.( 学会解决冲突能够帮助学生与朋友、老师、家长、上司以及同事相处。因此,冲突解决能力是一项基本的生活技能,应当在全国的学校中予以传授。)”以及通读全文,文章主要围绕如何处理学校冲突展开,所以选项D选项“how to deal with school conflicts(如何处理校园冲突)”符合题意,概括文章主要内容。故选D。
【52题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中“A report on violence among middle school and high school students indicates that most violent incidents between students begin with a relatively minor insult. For example, a fight could start over the fact that one student eats a peanut butter sandwich each lunchtime. Laughter over the sandwich can lead to insults, which in turn can lead to violence.( 一份关于中学生和高中生暴力的报告表明,大多数学生之间的暴力事件始于相对较小的侮辱,比如一个学生每天午餐吃花生酱三明治这件事就可能引发一场打斗,对三明治的嘲笑会导致侮辱,进而导致暴力。)”可知,从第二段内容可推断一个小冲突可能会引发暴力。故选B。
【53题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第三段中“Once the student feels calmer, he or she should choose words that will calm the other person down as well.(一旦学生自己感到平静下来,他或者她就应该选择能让对方也平静下来的措辞。)”以及“Rude words, name - calling, and accusation only add fuel to the emotional fire.( 粗鲁的话语、辱骂以及指责只会让情绪之火……。)”以及后文“On the other hand, soft words spoken at a normal sound level can put out the fire before it explodes out of control.(另一方面,以正常音量说出的温和话语能够在怒火失控之前将其扑灭。)”可知,学生自己感到平静下来,就应该选择能让对方也平静下来的措辞,以正常音量说出的温和话语能够在失控之前将其扑灭,因此推断粗鲁的话语、辱骂和指责只会给情绪之火“添油”,使事情变得更糟糕。故划线短语“add fuel to the emotional fire”意思是“使事情变得更糟”,与选项C“make things worse(使得事情更糟糕)”意思相近。故选C。
【54题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段中“Finally, students need to consider what they are hearing. This doesn’t mean trying to figure out what’s wrong with the other person. It means understanding what the real issue is and what both sides are trying to accomplish.(最后,学生们需要思考他们所听到的内容。这并不意味着要去找出对方的错误之处。而是要理解真正的问题所在,以及双方各自想要达成的目标。)”以及后面提到的学生需要问自己的一些问题,如“How did this start? What do I really want? What am I afraid of?( 这一切是怎么开始的?我到底想要什么?我又在害怕什么?)”可知,学生问自己这些问题是为了弄清楚真正的问题是什么。故选A。
【55题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“After students in Atlanta started a conflict resolution program, according to Educators for Social Responsibility, ‘64% of the teachers reported less physical violence in the classroom; 75% of the teachers reported an increase in student cooperation; and 92% of the students felt better about themselves’.(亚特兰大的学生启动冲突解决项目后,64%的老师报告教室里身体暴力减少了,75%的老师报告学生合作增加了,92%的学生自我感觉更好了)”可知,在亚特兰大启动冲突解决项目之后,学生在教室里发生肢体冲突的几率下降了。故选C。
【56题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“ Learning to resolve conflicts can help students deal with friends, teachers, parents, bosses, and coworkers. In that way, conflict resolution is a basic life skill that should be taught in schools across the country.( 学会解决冲突能够帮助学生与朋友、老师、家长、上司以及同事相处。因此,冲突解决能力是一项基本的生活技能,应当在全国的学校中予以传授。)”可知,作者写这篇文章的目的是倡导在学校教授冲突管理。故选D。

I used to chase happiness a lot when I began to work. I would run after different experiences--goals, achievements and success, because I was quite sure that once I caught up with them, happiness would be with me. It was during that period that I learned happiness was a very fast runner.
Later, I tried to sneak up on happiness. I thought if I didn’t care too little or too much but just enough, it wouldn’t see me coming and then I could catch it.
It turned out that happiness is similar to owls, for both of them have 360-degree vision and extremely sharp hearing. Finally, I decided to sit still, very quietly, until happiness forgot I was there, let down its guard and got close to me. This, surprisingly, worked better than either of the other two ways.
After reading a passage in Time, I think I know the reason. Apparently, for Americans, the chase of happiness is just linked to achieving individual goals which is different from that in other cultures. In many cultures, happiness is regarded as a social phenomenon that happens most readily when it is shared. But our society puts the responsibility for catching happiness on each individual’s shoulders --a heavy burden indeed.
On Facebook, there are a lot of unbelievably happy people doing amazing happiness—producing things every day. However, most of the time, no one is really that happy all the time behind the scenes.
I also like what a famous businessman told Time reporter Mandy Oaklander, “A happy life doesn’t consist of happy moments but every moment of the day.”
Now you know how to get happiness, don’t you?

【答案】57. The author learned that happiness was a very fast runner./ The author found that happiness was hard to chase.

60. The happiness showed on Facebook may not be real./The happy people on social media are not always happy.
61. Open: one possible answer
Yes, (because) I’m now studying hard and spare no effort to enter my dream university.
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。讲述了作者追求幸福的感悟。
【57题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一自然段“It was during that period that I learned happiness was a very fast runner. (正是在那段时间里,我学会了幸福是一个非常快的奔跑者。)”可知,在作者追求幸福的第一阶段中,他明白了作者了解到幸福是很难追求的,它是一个非常快的赛跑者。故答案为:The author learned that happiness was a very fast runner./ The author found that happiness was hard to chase.
【58题详解】
词义猜测题。根据第二自然段“I thought if I didn’t care too little or too much but just enough, it wouldn’t see me coming and then I could catch it.( 我想,如果我不在乎太少或太多,只要足够,它就不会看到我来,然后我就能抓住它。)”可知,作者想安静地靠近幸福。故sneak up on意为Come near to secretly./Approach quietly./ Get close to silently。故答案为:Come near to secretly./Approach quietly./ Get close to silently.
【59题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四自然段“Apparently, for Americans, the chase of happiness is just linked to achieving individual goals which is different from that in other cultures. (显然,对美国人来说,追求幸福只与实现个人目标有关,这与其他文化不同。)”可知,追求幸福对美国人意味着实现个人目标。故答案为:It means achieving individual goals.
【60题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第五自然段“On Facebook, there are a lot of unbelievably happy people doing amazing happiness—producing things every day.
