A
San Francisco is quickly becoming one of the most visited cities in the U. S. “The City by the Bay” packs a lot of must-see spots in just a 7 mile-by-7 mile area.
Bathe in the sun at Dolores Park
San Francisco is known for its fog but certain areas of the city receive a surprising amount of sunshine, especially in fall. If you catch the city on a sunny day, head to Dolores Park in the Mission. It can get a bit crowded on the weekends, but if you can push in on a piece of grass, buy a cup of ice cream from nearby Bi-Rite Creamery and enjoy yourself.
See the Mission Murals (壁画)
Although San Francisco has plenty of museums, you don’t need to pay entry to enjoy some art. The Mission neighborhood has plenty of street art and murals that reflect the culture and history of the community. My personal favorite is the mural on the Women’s Building. Don’t miss it!
Visit Haight Ashbury
Another important part of San Francisco’s identity is its hippie (嬉皮) culture. During the, ‘60s and ‘70s, Haight Ashbury was home to famous singers like Janis Joplin and the Grateful Dead. Now the neighborhood is full of hippie memories and street art honoring the anniversary of 1967’s Summer of Love.
Eat Italian at North Beach
Traditional Italian food may not be the first cuisine (佳肴) that comes to mind when thinking of San Francisco, but you may leave the city daydreaming about it. North Beach is the Italian neighborhood and you’ll find plenty of delicious fresh Italian food to fill your stomach.
1. When is San Francisco most sunny?
A. In spring. B. In summer.
C. In autumn. D. In winter.
2. What can we know about the Mission Murals?
A. There are many murals on the streets.
B. There are few murals in the museums.
C. They are about the future life.
D. They are the best murals in the world.
3. Where may music-lovers choose to go?
A. North Beach. B. Haight Ashbury.
C. Dolores Park. D. Mission neighborhood.

B
By my early 40s, I had attempted all the hobbies meant to make me feel better about entering middle age. I had taken an improv (即兴表演) class, started learning a new language, and given yoga a second chance. Then, at the height of my despair, I decided to sign up for a ballet class.
“But you’re not very flexible,” my husband gently reminded me. He wasn’t wrong. Yet I was determined to give it a try. I hadn’t expected any of it to stick. But this time, the exact same things that had made me escape the studio as a 10-year-old now brought me joy. And though I’d thought my classes to be physically demanding, I hadn’t expected that my teacher’s command to “take up more space” would change my way of being in the world. When I sighed over my lack of grace in the seemingly simple act, my teacher reminded me that ballet isn’t about perfection. Rather, it’s about striving for perfection.
Slowly, I started becoming more comfortable with the body in the mirror. My posture still needs work, and my jumps are never as high as they feel. But it encourages me that my body isn’t stiff and still functions well. Instead of noticing only the signs of aging, I am now amazed at what my body is capable of. As for the imperfections? They’re part of being alive.
Eight years into my ballet classes, I’m what you would call a lifelong advanced beginner. At the age of 50, I am finally a ballerina, though not the kind that anybody would pay to see on stage. I kept on dancing. When I do my daily ballet class, I focus on my breathing and move my body in ways that always challenge me and remind me of everything that is possible.
4. Why did the author finally attend the ballet class?
A. To follow the fashion. B. To lift her spirits up.
C. To keep a slim figure. D. To seek like-minded friends.
5. What was the author’s dancing experience like?
A. Tough but rewarding. B. Challenging and fruitless.
C. Demanding but heartwarming. D. Comforting and enjoyable.
6. What encourages the author to persist in dancing according to paragraph 3?
A. Her perfect movements. B. The teacher’s strictness.
C. The focus on being alive. D. Her still flexible condition.
7. What message does the passage want to express?
A. Better late than never. B. Better to strive than to arrive.
C. Practice makes perfect. D. Where there’s a will, there’s a way.
【答案】4. B 5. A 6. C 7. B
【解析】
【导语】文章主要讲述了作者人到中年陷入低落，尝试多种爱好无果后学习芭蕾，在练习中接纳自身不完美，领悟芭蕾重在追逐完美而非达成完美的人生感悟。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“Then, at the height of my despair, I decided to sign up for a ballet class.(就在我陷入极度低落时，我决定报名芭蕾课。)”可知，作者报名芭蕾课是为了提振低落的心情。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“And though I’d thought my classes to be physically demanding, I hadn’t expected that my teacher’s command to ‘take up more space’ would change my way of being in the world.(虽然我早料到芭蕾课对体能消耗很大，却万万没想到老师那句‘大胆舒展、放开自己’的叮嘱，会彻底改变我看待生活、立身于世的心态。)”以及第三段“Slowly, I started becoming more comfortable with the body in the mirror.(慢慢地，我开始坦然接纳镜子里自己的身体。)”、“Instead of noticing only the signs of aging, I am now amazed at what my body is capable of.(从前我只会盯着身上衰老的痕迹暗自难过，如今却惊叹于自己身体蕴藏的无限潜能。)”可知，练习芭蕾过程十分艰难，但这段经历收获满满。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“Instead of noticing only the signs of aging, I am now amazed at what my body is capable of. As for the imperfections? They’re part of being alive.(从前我只会留意身上衰老的痕迹，如今却惊叹于身体蕴藏的力量。至于那些不完美？那正是鲜活活着的证明。)”可知，作者不再纠结衰老与动作缺陷，懂得接纳不完美、珍视鲜活的生命本身，这份对“活着”的感悟支撑她坚持跳舞。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第二段“When I sighed over my lack of grace in the seemingly simple act, my teacher reminded me that ballet isn’t about perfection. Rather, it’s about striving for perfection.(每当我因为连看似简单的动作都做得毫无优雅可言而叹气时，老师都会开导我：芭蕾追求的从来不是完美无瑕的结果，而是拼尽全力奔赴完美的过程。)”以及最后一段“When I do my daily ballet class, I focus on my breathing and move my body in ways that always challenge me and remind me of everything that is possible.(每日练习芭蕾时，我专注调整呼吸，用充满挑战的方式舒展身体，这时刻提醒我：世间万事皆有实现的可能。)”可知，全文围绕不必执着完美结果、享受努力过程展开，即：旅途之美，远胜终点。
C
Albert Einstein owed his brilliant mind to having a child-like sense of humour. Indeed, a number of studies have found a relationship between humour and intelligence. Researchers in Austria recently discovered that funny people, particularly those who enjoy dark humour, have higher IQs than their less funny fellows. They think that it takes both cognitive (认知的) and emotional ability to process and produce humour.
In psychology we use the term “positive humour style” to refer to people who use humour to enhance relationships. This type of humour is connected with relationship satisfaction, extroversion (外向性) and high self-respect. Having a humorous way of thinking about life is also a good strategy. It helps people better manage stress and challenges.
Not only do funny people make other people laugh, they also laugh more themselves. And laughter leads to brain changes, which may explain the link between humour and intelligence. Neuropsychological studies have found that experiencing positive emotional states, such as joy, fun and happiness, increases the production of dopamine (多巴胺) in the brain. Dopamine not only makes us feel great, but also opens up the learning centres of the brain, which enables more neural (神经) connections. As a result, we become more flexible and creative in our thinking.
Evidence suggests that humour actually increases feelings of confidence, competence and status, making funny people very influential. Humour gets people to listen, helps communicate messages and benefits learning. It is a powerful tool that many successful leaders use to enhance group work and organizational culture.
Research on the use of humour in education also supports the concept that humour is an effective aid to learning. Several studies have showed that lessons that are delivered with humour are more enjoyable for students, and also bolster students’ understanding and recall of the topic.
8. What do researchers in Austria think it takes to process and produce humour?
A. Good memory and rich life experience. B. Cognitive and emotional ability.
C. High self-respect and outgoing personality. D. Enough knowledge and social skills.
9. What is the author’s attitude to having a humorous view on life?
A. Uncaring. B. Doubtful. C. Supportive. D. Worried.
10. What can be inferred about dopamine?
A. It helps improve people’s thinking ability and creativity.
B. It helps people be humorous.
C. It stops the brain from building neural connections.
D. It can’t be produced by brains with diseases.
11. What does the underlined word “bolster” in the last paragraph mean?
A. Damage. B. Blame. C. Improve. D. Advertise.
【答案】8. B 9. C 10. A 11. C
【解析】
【导语】本文主要介绍幽默与智力之间的关联，说明幽默依赖认知与情感能力，能提升思维创造力、社交影响力及学习效果，是兼具心理与实用价值的重要特质。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“They think that it takes both cognitive (认知的) and emotional ability to process and produce humour.(他们认为，加工和产生幽默需要认知能力和情感能力兼具)”可知，奥地利的研究人员认为处理和产生幽默需要认知和情感能力。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“Having a humorous way of thinking about life is also a good strategy. It helps people better manage stress and challenges.(用幽默的方式看待生活也是一个好策略。它能帮助人们更好地应对压力和挑战)”以及后文对幽默诸多益处的阐述可知，作者认为拥有幽默的人生观是有益的，对其持支持态度。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“Dopamine not only makes us feel great, but also opens up the learning centres of the brain, which enables more neural (神经) connections. As a result, we become more flexible and creative in our thinking.(多巴胺不仅让我们感觉良好，还能打开大脑的学习中枢，从而产生更多的神经连接。结果，我们的思维会变得更加灵活、更有创造力)”可知，多巴胺有助于提高人们的思维能力和创造力。
【11题详解】
词句猜测题。根据最后一段“Several studies have showed that lessons that are delivered with humour are more enjoyable for students, and also bolster students’ understanding and recall of the topic.(几项研究表明，带有幽默感的课程对学生来说更愉快，也能bolster学生对主题的理解和记忆)”可知，幽默的课程既有趣，又对学生理解和记忆有积极作用，故bolster意为“巩固，增强，提高”，与Improve意思最相近。
D
Second place is just the first loser. While the competitive spirit may be as natural as breathing air, it doesn’t always lead to human flourishing and can create misery. Fortunately, there is a strategy to solve this complicated problem: instead of always going for gold, shoot for the bronze.
Though second place may be the first loser, third place can be the real winner regarding happiness and longevity. In a 1995 study, scholars systematically coded the emotional reactions of silver and bronze medalists in the 1992 Summer Olympic Games. Using slow-motion video captured both immediately after their events and later on the awards podium, researchers found the bronze winners appeared consistently happier on average than the silver medalists. Over 80% of bronze medalists exhibited genuine smiles, a figure that was nearly double that observed among silver medalists. Moreover, every bronze medalist’s smile lasted longer than the average smile observed among the silver medalists. More recent research has looked at the life span of all three medalist categories. A 2018 study found that the athlete whose best performance was silver lived to 72. Gold medalists survive them by four years, living to 76, on average. But first prize in longevity went to the bronze medalists, who lived to 78.
The study had a handy revelation concerning this discrepancy (差异): “Unsatisfactory competition outcomes may adversely affect health.” In other words, silver medalists see themselves as the first loser because they look up to the top step and compare themselves only with the gold medalists; nevertheless, the bronze winners compare themselves favorably with all the others who never made it onto the podium at all. This theory illuminates the difference between upward and downward social comparison.
The worldly happiness strategy of striving for gold every day is foolish. It tends to lower the inner motivation, and thus the delights that people obtain from their activities. The concept at work here is trying to improve your own past performance and the only person to whom you will have to compare yourself is you.
12. What can be learned from the 1995 study?
A. Silver medalists smiled as frequently as bronze medalists.
B. Bronze winners appeared happier than silver medalists.
C. Bronze medalists’ smile lasted longer than every silver medalist’s.
D. Both medalists’ emotions were unchanged from the events to the podium.
13. What is the cause of the difference in medalists’ life span?
A. The stress from downward social comparison.
B. The motivation from upward social comparison.
C. The failure to maintain upward social comparison.
D. The effect of different types of social comparison.
14. What does the writer advise us to do to achieve happiness?
A. Learn from the top performers.
B. Commit to our consistent personal growth.
C. Try to be the best in every field.
D. Strengthen our achievement motivation.
15. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?
A. Social Comparison: A Double-Edged Sword for Athletes
B. Social Comparison: The Root of Misery in Human Competition
C. Coming in Third: The Unexpected Secret to Longevity
D. Coming in Third: The Advantages of Being “Good Enough”
【答案】12. B 13. D 14. B 15. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章通过奥运奖牌获得者的情绪与寿命研究，揭示争取“铜牌”，即满足于“足够好”，比执着于“金牌”更可能带来幸福和长寿，并用社会比较理论分析其原因，最终建议人们专注于自我提升而非与他人竞争。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“Using slow-motion video captured both immediately after their events and later on the awards podium, researchers found the bronze winners appeared consistently happier on average than the silver medalists. (通过使用在赛事结束后即刻以及在颁奖台上拍摄的慢动作视频，研究人员发现，铜牌获得者在平均意义上看起来比银牌获得者更快乐。)”可知，1995年的研究表明，铜牌获得者看起来比银牌获得者更快乐。故选B项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“In other words, silver medalists see themselves as the first loser because they look up to the top step and compare themselves only with the gold medalists; nevertheless, the bronze winners compare themselves favorably with all the others who never made it onto the podium at all. This theory illuminates the difference between upward and downward social comparison. (换句话说，银牌获得者会认为自己是第一失败者，因为他们总是将自己与最高领奖台上的选手进行比较，而忽略了其他所有未能登上领奖台的选手；然而，铜牌获得者则会将自己与所有从未登上过领奖台的选手进行积极的比较。这一理论揭示了向上型和向下型社会比较之间的差异。)”可知，奖牌获得者寿命差异的原因在于不同类型的社会比较带来的心理影响。故选D项。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中“The concept at work here is trying to improve your own past performance and the only person to whom you will have to compare yourself is you. (这里起作用的理念是：努力提升自己的过往表现，而你唯一需要与之进行比较的对象就是你自己。)”可知，作者建议我们致力于持续的个人成长，即与自己比较、不断进步，从而获得成功。故选B项。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段中“Fortunately, there is a strategy to solve this complicated problem: instead of always going for gold, shoot for the bronze. (幸运的是，有一个解决这一复杂问题的策略：不要总是追求金牌，而应努力争取铜牌。)”可知，文章主要指出不必总追求“金牌”，争取“铜牌”，即“足够好”，反而可能带来幸福与长寿，并通过研究数据和社会比较理论论证。因此，D项“位列第三：做到‘足够好’所带来的好处”准确呼应主题，适合作为文章标题。故选D项。

第二节 读后续写（满分25分）
47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
In a small town located in the mountains, there was a young boy named Owen. He was crazy about basketball more than anything else in the world. He would spend hours every day practicing his dribbling (运球), shooting and passing. He dreamed of one day winning games on a team.
Owen’s town had a small basketball court that was often empty. Owen would go there every day after school to practice. One day, as he was shooting hoops (投篮), he heard a voice behind him, “Hey, kid! You’re pretty good!”
Owen turned around to see a tall man with a friendly smile. The man introduced himself as Coach Johnson and asked Owen if he wanted to join his basketball team. The team was made up of kids from all over the town, and they practiced every day after school.
Owen was overjoyed because he had never played on a team before. He wanted to start and win games. Owen quickly became the star player of the team.
However, the team never won a game. “I had trained so hard and performed excellently, but we were always losing! Jack should have run much faster towards me and Kris should have passed the ball to me!” Owen kept complaining to the coach.
The complaint seemed understandable! Owen was admired by his teammates because he was fast and had incredible shots. However, Johnson knew Owen lacked something important. He told Owen to learn to play with his teammates as a team instead of just focusing on himself. Owen didn’t quite understand that at first and insisted he just needed to practice harder to win games.
However, disaster struck. Owen injured his ankle one day and had to sit out for several weeks, which let him fall into anxiety. He felt his dream was slipping away.
During his recovery at home, Owen refused to see anyone on the team, except his coach. Johnson handed Owen a phone downloaded with some videos about the best basketball teams and some cards from Owen’s teammates.
注意：1. 续写词数应为150个左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Owen couldn’t wait to watch those videos.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
After recovering, Owen returned to his team as a changed player.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
Owen couldn’t wait to watch those videos. He watched them over and over again, noticing that the players weren’t just good at shooting and dribbling, but also had incredible cooperative spirit. Owen realized that he had been so focused on his own success that he had forgotten about the importance of teamwork. As he thought of his teammates, he saw the words “We are a team!” written on each of the card. He decided to become a better teammate.
After recovering, Owen returned to his team as a changed player. He passed the ball more, encouraged his teammates and worked hard to help improve their skills. Johnson was relieved to see self-centered Owen had got what he had been lacking in. Those diligent kids played as a strong team and they started winning games. To Owen’s delight, his dream finally came true. More importantly, Owen learned that basketball was more about working together as a team.
【解析】

2026-2027年度上学期第一次段考
高二英语试卷
时间：120分钟 满分：120分
第一部分 阅读理解（共两节，满分50分）
第一节（共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
San Francisco is quickly becoming one of the most visited cities in the U. S. “The City by the Bay” packs a lot of must-see spots in just a 7 mile-by-7 mile area.
Bathe in the sun at Dolores Park
San Francisco is known for its fog but certain areas of the city receive a surprising amount of sunshine, especially in fall. If you catch the city on a sunny day, head to Dolores Park in the Mission. It can get a bit crowded on the weekends, but if you can push in on a piece of grass, buy a cup of ice cream from nearby Bi-Rite Creamery and enjoy yourself.
See the Mission Murals (壁画)
Although San Francisco has plenty of museums, you don’t need to pay entry to enjoy some art. The Mission neighborhood has plenty of street art and murals that reflect the culture and history of the community. My personal favorite is the mural on the Women’s Building. Don’t miss it!
Visit Haight Ashbury
Another important part of San Francisco’s identity is its hippie (嬉皮) culture. During the, ‘60s and ‘70s, Haight Ashbury was home to famous singers like Janis Joplin and the Grateful Dead. Now the neighborhood is full of hippie memories and street art honoring the anniversary of 1967’s Summer of Love.
Eat Italian at North Beach
Traditional Italian food may not be the first cuisine (佳肴) that comes to mind when thinking of San Francisco, but you may leave the city daydreaming about it. North Beach is the Italian neighborhood and you’ll find plenty of delicious fresh Italian food to fill your stomach.
1. When is San Francisco most sunny?
A. In spring. B. In summer.
C. In autumn. D. In winter.
2. What can we know about the Mission Murals?
A. There are many murals on the streets.
B. There are few murals in the museums.
C. They are about the future life.
D. They are the best murals in the world.
3. Where may music-lovers choose to go?
A. North Beach. B. Haight Ashbury.
C. Dolores Park. D. Mission neighborhood.
B
By my early 40s, I had attempted all the hobbies meant to make me feel better about entering middle age. I had taken an improv (即兴表演) class, started learning a new language, and given yoga a second chance. Then, at the height of my despair, I decided to sign up for a ballet class.
“But you’re not very flexible,” my husband gently reminded me. He wasn’t wrong. Yet I was determined to give it a try. I hadn’t expected any of it to stick. But this time, the exact same things that had made me escape the studio as a 10-year-old now brought me joy. And though I’d thought my classes to be physically demanding, I hadn’t expected that my teacher’s command to “take up more space” would change my way of being in the world. When I sighed over my lack of grace in the seemingly simple act, my teacher reminded me that ballet isn’t about perfection. Rather, it’s about striving for perfection.
Slowly, I started becoming more comfortable with the body in the mirror. My posture still needs work, and my jumps are never as high as they feel. But it encourages me that my body isn’t stiff and still functions well. Instead of noticing only the signs of aging, I am now amazed at what my body is capable of. As for the imperfections? They’re part of being alive.
Eight years into my ballet classes, I’m what you would call a lifelong advanced beginner. At the age of 50, I am finally a ballerina, though not the kind that anybody would pay to see on stage. I kept on dancing. When I do my daily ballet class, I focus on my breathing and move my body in ways that always challenge me and remind me of everything that is possible.
4. Why did the author finally attend the ballet class?
A. To follow the fashion. B. To lift her spirits up.
C. To keep a slim figure. D. To seek like-minded friends.
5. What was the author’s dancing experience like?
A. Tough but rewarding. B. Challenging and fruitless.
C. Demanding but heartwarming. D. Comforting and enjoyable.
6. What encourages the author to persist in dancing according to paragraph 3?
A. Her perfect movements. B. The teacher’s strictness.
C. The focus on being alive. D. Her still flexible condition.
7. What message does the passage want to express?
A. Better late than never. B. Better to strive than to arrive.
C. Practice makes perfect. D. Where there’s a will, there’s a way.
C
Albert Einstein owed his brilliant mind to having a child-like sense of humour. Indeed, a number of studies have found a relationship between humour and intelligence. Researchers in Austria recently discovered that funny people, particularly those who enjoy dark humour, have higher IQs than their less funny fellows. They think that it takes both cognitive (认知的) and emotional ability to process and produce humour.
In psychology we use the term “positive humour style” to refer to people who use humour to enhance relationships. This type of humour is connected with relationship satisfaction, extroversion (外向性) and high self-respect. Having a humorous way of thinking about life is also a good strategy. It helps people better manage stress and challenges.
Not only do funny people make other people laugh, they also laugh more themselves. And laughter leads to brain changes, which may explain the link between humour and intelligence. Neuropsychological studies have found that experiencing positive emotional states, such as joy, fun and happiness, increases the production of dopamine (多巴胺) in the brain. Dopamine not only makes us feel great, but also opens up the learning centres of the brain, which enables more neural (神经) connections. As a result, we become more flexible and creative in our thinking.
Evidence suggests that humour actually increases feelings of confidence, competence and status, making funny people very influential. Humour gets people to listen, helps communicate messages and benefits learning. It is a powerful tool that many successful leaders use to enhance group work and organizational culture.
Research on the use of humour in education also supports the concept that humour is an effective aid to learning. Several studies have showed that lessons that are delivered with humour are more enjoyable for students, and also bolster students’ understanding and recall of the topic.
8. What do researchers in Austria think it takes to process and produce humour?
A. Good memory and rich life experience. B. Cognitive and emotional ability.
C. High self-respect and outgoing personality. D. Enough knowledge and social skills.
9. What is the author’s attitude to having a humorous view on life?
A. Uncaring. B. Doubtful. C. Supportive. D. Worried.
10. What can be inferred about dopamine?
A. It helps improve people’s thinking ability and creativity.
B. It helps people be humorous.
C. It stops the brain from building neural connections.
D. It can’t be produced by brains with diseases.
11. What does the underlined word “bolster” in the last paragraph mean?
A. Damage. B. Blame. C. Improve. D. Advertise.
D
Second place is just the first loser. While the competitive spirit may be as natural as breathing air, it doesn’t always lead to human flourishing and can create misery. Fortunately, there is a strategy to solve this complicated problem: instead of always going for gold, shoot for the bronze.
Though second place may be the first loser, third place can be the real winner regarding happiness and longevity. In a 1995 study, scholars systematically coded the emotional reactions of silver and bronze medalists in the 1992 Summer Olympic Games. Using slow-motion video captured both immediately after their events and later on the awards podium, researchers found the bronze winners appeared consistently happier on average than the silver medalists. Over 80% of bronze medalists exhibited genuine smiles, a figure that was nearly double that observed among silver medalists. Moreover, every bronze medalist’s smile lasted longer than the average smile observed among the silver medalists. More recent research has looked at the life span of all three medalist categories. A 2018 study found that the athlete whose best performance was silver lived to 72. Gold medalists survive them by four years, living to 76, on average. But first prize in longevity went to the bronze medalists, who lived to 78.
The study had a handy revelation concerning this discrepancy (差异): “Unsatisfactory competition outcomes may adversely affect health.” In other words, silver medalists see themselves as the first loser because they look up to the top step and compare themselves only with the gold medalists; nevertheless, the bronze winners compare themselves favorably with all the others who never made it onto the podium at all. This theory illuminates the difference between upward and downward social comparison.
The worldly happiness strategy of striving for gold every day is foolish. It tends to lower the inner motivation, and thus the delights that people obtain from their activities. The concept at work here is trying to improve your own past performance and the only person to whom you will have to compare yourself is you.
12. What can be learned from the 1995 study?
A. Silver medalists smiled as frequently as bronze medalists.
B. Bronze winners appeared happier than silver medalists.
C. Bronze medalists’ smile lasted longer than every silver medalist’s.
D. Both medalists’ emotions were unchanged from the events to the podium.
13. What is the cause of the difference in medalists’ life span?
A. The stress from downward social comparison.
B. The motivation from upward social comparison.
C. The failure to maintain upward social comparison.
D. The effect of different types of social comparison.
14. What does the writer advise us to do to achieve happiness?
A. Learn from the top performers.
B. Commit to our consistent personal growth.
C. Try to be the best in every field.
D. Strengthen our achievement motivation.
15. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?
A. Social Comparison: A Double-Edged Sword for Athletes
B. Social Comparison: The Root of Misery in Human Competition
C. Coming in Third: The Unexpected Secret to Longevity
D. Coming in Third: The Advantages of Being “Good Enough”

第二节 读后续写（满分25分）
47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
In a small town located in the mountains, there was a young boy named Owen. He was crazy about basketball more than anything else in the world. He would spend hours every day practicing his dribbling (运球), shooting and passing. He dreamed of one day winning games on a team.
Owen’s town had a small basketball court that was often empty. Owen would go there every day after school to practice. One day, as he was shooting hoops (投篮), he heard a voice behind him, “Hey, kid! You’re pretty good!”
Owen turned around to see a tall man with a friendly smile. The man introduced himself as Coach Johnson and asked Owen if he wanted to join his basketball team. The team was made up of kids from all over the town, and they practiced every day after school.
Owen was overjoyed because he had never played on a team before. He wanted to start and win games. Owen quickly became the star player of the team.
However, the team never won a game. “I had trained so hard and performed excellently, but we were always losing! Jack should have run much faster towards me and Kris should have passed the ball to me!” Owen kept complaining to the coach.
The complaint seemed understandable! Owen was admired by his teammates because he was fast and had incredible shots. However, Johnson knew Owen lacked something important. He told Owen to learn to play with his teammates as a team instead of just focusing on himself. Owen didn’t quite understand that at first and insisted he just needed to practice harder to win games.
However, disaster struck. Owen injured his ankle one day and had to sit out for several weeks, which let him fall into anxiety. He felt his dream was slipping away.
During his recovery at home, Owen refused to see anyone on the team, except his coach. Johnson handed Owen a phone downloaded with some videos about the best basketball teams and some cards from Owen’s teammates.
注意：1. 续写词数应为150个左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Owen couldn’t wait to watch those videos.

After recovering, Owen returned to his team as a changed player.
