Oh，the satisfaction in our young heartsa green elephant tie!With his glasses at the tip of his nose，he greeted us cheerfully，“Good morning，folks！” He was strange and unique and he brightened every day for us.He was the most dynamic teacher I had ever met.I loved music，so I remember how excited I was when he said he was going to give us music lessons.But when he turned on the music，my classmates and I slowly turned our heads toward the sound of .Peter Paul and Mary singing “If I Had a Hammer”Snickers (窃笑) filled the room.If it wasnt rap or hip hop，we didnt recognize it.What were these people singing about? My classmates were not into this at all.But for me，a girl of 12，it was a discovery.An awakening.Twenty years passed and now there are forty little eyes staring at my wild musicalnote shirts as I greet them with a joyful，“Good morning，class！” I wonder if my students wait and wonder what crazy music clothes I will wear each day.I glance at my 2015 Teacher of the Year Award，which I received for being a dynamic teacher and I smile to myself，wondering which child in front of me will carry this onas Ive carried on the legacy (遗产) of Mr.Miller.One teacher，who dared to be different and open new worlds to kids like me，threw the significant stone into the pond of my life.I pray the ripples (涟漪) never end.4How did the author react to the song “If I Had a Hammer” ?APuzzled.

positive ones.Our brains have developed this way because threats，like dangerous animals，had a more immediate effect on our ancestors survival compared to positive things like food or shelter.As a result，you likely know what makes you unhappy，but do you know what makes you happy?Research suggests that our level of happiness depends partly on factors we cannot controlour genes and our life circumstances.But our level of happiness is also shaped by the choices we make.If youve been chasing wealth，fame，good looks，material things and power，you may be looking for happiness in all the wrong places.Psychologists suggest that the following habits make people happier.People who form close relationships tend to be happier than those who do not.The number of friends we have is not important.What matters is the quality of our relationships.Relationships that bring happiness usually involve the sharing of feelings，mutual respect，acceptance，trust and fun.People who exercise regularly improve both their physical and mental well being.Some research has shown that exercise can be as effective as medication in treating depression.When we are so interested in an activity we enjoy that we lose track of time，we are in a state of flow.The activity could be making art，playing piano，surfing，or playing a game.People who experience flow in their work or hobbies tend to be happier.People are more likely to be happy if they know what their strengths are and use them regularly.People who set goals and use their strengths to achieve them tend to be happier.People are especially happy when they can use their strengths to serve the greater good.People who think positively by being grateful，mindful and optimistic are more likely to be happy.Being grateful means being

wasters are real enemies of success.Time wasters could be people，events or habits that lead to the opposite path away from our goals.The most important starting point in removing the time wasters in life is to know about them.We need to sit down and analyze the activities which take our time.Start by making a list of our activities and sort out the neither urgent nor important ones.Sometimes it could be a simple addiction to a TV Soap Opera，constant distractions，or even one of our core (核心的) activities that we are not excellent at doing.We can，for instance，imagine that we are a business owner and we keep sabotaging our business deals，leading the company into great financial problems.It may be time for us to have our associates do the marketing while we concentrate on the areas we are best in.The next thing would be to make sure that we plan our daily activities.One of the obvious reasons is that we will have an upper hand in fighting against time wasters in our schedule.If what we want to do or what we dont want to do becomes clear，our focus is strengthened.Moreover，when we think of people We spend time with，we are sure to notice that some have a more positive impact on our success while others have a negative one.It is important to be able to distinguish them especially with regard to our schedule.While we do not advocate for everyone to throw away relationships，it is good to know that helping a friend who is emotionally disturbed can wait till dinner time.Finally，do the same to our habits.List all the habits and addictions that take any amount of our time.Then，take a little time to straighten them out in line with their importance and urgency.Depending on our analysis，kill those that are harmful to our goals in life.10The underlined word “sabotaging” in Paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to ApromotingBofferingCdamaging Dstriking11What do we know about time wasters from the passage?AThey fail to set clear goals for their life.BThey arrange things on importance and need.CThey turn away our attention from achieving goals.DThey are addicted to sorting out the important activities.12Which of the following shows the development of ideas in this passage?AP1P2P3P4 BP1P2，P3P4CP1P2，P3，P4 DP1，P2，P3P4EIs dark chocolate healthy? Yes，dark chocolate has compounds (化合物)that offer health benefits and can be enjoyed without guilt，even on a daily basis.But the amount matters，since too many bites can contribute to extra fat，sugar and calories and get rid of its health benefits.Dark chocolate is rich in cocoa，which contains compounds known as flavanols(黄烷醇)At high levels，cocoa flavanols have been shown to help lower blood pressure and the risk of diabetes.Dark chocolate has the highest amount of cocoa flavanols：milk chocolate has less，and white chocolate has none.But while cocoa flavanols in dark chocolate make it a healthful treat, they give it a biter flavor.Producers may process chocolate to make it more delicious，but doing so can remove some of these beneficial compounds，said Matt Hartings，an American professor.In spite of this，dark chocolate is still a healthier choice than milk chocolate，which tends to have more sugar.Additionally，cocoa powder contains minerals.So you can enjoy a piece of dark chocolate even after a meal.Just keep the following in mind.First, buy chocolate that has at least 60% cocoa.“Generally speaking，the higher the percentage，the more flavanols.These higherpercentage chocolates have the added benefit over the lower percentages and milk and white chocolates because they contain less sugar and less fat，”Hartings said.Second，if possible，choose natural cocoa over Dutch processed cocoa，which is treated with an alkali (碱)This gives chocolate a milder flavor but removes healthful flavanols.And finally，to keep weight in check，limit to 30 grams of dark chocolate daily，or about 150 calories，13Dark chocolate is healthy mainly because of the existence of Arich mineralsBless sugarCcocoa flavanols Dfewer calories14What can we learn from the text?ACocoa flavanols

his love for dark chocolate.BTo promote the sales of chocolate.CTo provide facts about dark chocolate.DTo make a distinction among chocolates.第二节：七选五(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)Listening to others requires entering actively and imaginatively into the situation and trying to understand a frame of reference different from your own，and yet so many of us dont listen properly as we should.Listening means more than just sitting silently while someone else talks. 16 Here are some ways to become a better listener. 17 Make sure you actually hear fully what your friend is saying，and you cant cut your friend off verbally carelessly.While you might intend to help move the conversation along your friend might feel as if what he has said needs to be continually talked over or sounds anything but interesting.Nod to encourage the conversation along.A better option to let your friend know youre interested in what he says is just to nod along from time to time.Sometimes you nod along but then start thinking about something unrelated to what he could say. 18 Turn out background noise.If youre easily distracted by laughter，glasses clinking，children crying，you might need to work extra hard to focus only on your friend. 19 Dont hesitate to tell them that the background noises are getting in the way.If you cant focus，try moving to another area.Dont text or look at your phone！ 20 For you see，when youre sitting in front of someone，he is the most important person in your world at that moment.AStop the speaker whenever you have a question.BPractice silence when someone else is

your friend to continue.第二部分完形填空(共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分)I was out for my usual morning run and found myself in the latesummer heat，thirsty.If only I had taken a 21 bottle.After I stopped under a bridge to
