math and languages. the class sit in a circle with their eyes shut and they count from one to ten: someone starts, the next voice comes from the far right, a third from the other side. the aim of the game is to listen for an opportunity to shout out the number without clashing(冲突) with another voice or leaving a pause. on the first try, most of the young germans try to be first, while a few are too shy to join in, but by the fifth time round, they develop a rhythm(节奏). the message: give other people space but also confidently claim your own. this is a requirement for social well-being. the willy hellpach school in heidelberg is the first in the nation to develop a happiness course. it is intended for students preparing for university entrance exams. “the course isnt there to make you happy,” ernst fritz-schubert, the school principal, warned pupils, “but rather to help you discover the ways to become happy.” cooking a meal together is one of the class exercises. improving body language under the guidance of two professional actresses is another. the course is taught for three periods a week. despite the happy subject, the pupils themselves insist it is no laughing matter. “in the first period, we had to each say something positive about another member of the class and about ourselves. no laughing at people or teasing(取笑),” said fanny, 17. the message: self-esteem(自尊) improves happiness, too. research by the school shows it is not the first to start happiness classes: they also exist at some us universities, but are mainly based on positive thinking, using findings from studies of depression. “that would be too one-sided for us. we want to show how decent food or exercise can help, too,” the principal said. 1. the best title of this text would be_. a. basic things for happiness b. having a try to be happy c. learning how to be happy d. laughing a lot at school答案解析：答案为c。第一段 “teenagers at one german school are learning how to achieve happiness” 就点出文章的题目“学会如何保持快乐”，故答案为c。2. why is the course compared with math and languages? a. it is given like the subjects which already exist. b. it is as important as traditional courses. c. it is necessary for the students. d. it arouses similar interest of the students at this school.答案解析：答案为a。本题为推理题，解答此题可以用排除法。d选项“它唤起了学生相似的兴趣”在文中未提，可以首先排除。由第一段 “teenagers at one german school are learning how to achieve happiness alongside other traditional subjects such as math and languages.” 中“alongside”理解是关键，它意为“在旁边”，也就是说快乐课程相对于数学和语言科目来说处于次要位置，对于学生来说并非是必要的，故b、c选项错误，因此只有选择a选项。文中第二、三段介绍了快乐课程的授课方式，和传统课程类似，再次证明a选项是可选的。故答案为a。3. this course is required to be taken by_. a. first year studentsb. all students at this school c. students with mental problemsd. students who are going to finish school答案解析：答案为d。本题为细节题。由第四段 “it is intended for students preparing for university entrance exams.”可知，该课程是为正在为大学入学考试准备的学生而开设的，故答案为d。4. the underlined word in the last paragraph “decent” is closest in meaning to_. a. strange b. good c. useful d. ridiculous答案解析：答案为b。本题为词义猜测题。由最后一段 “ “that would be too one-sided for us. we want to show how decent food or exercise can help, too,” the principal said.”可知，校长认为快乐课程让学生发现变得快乐的方式很片面，他认为美食和运动也会起到帮助，因此可以推断，与“decent”意思最接近的是b选项“good”。高考英语冲刺阅读理解。 i was walking along the main street of a small seaside town in the north of england looking for somewhere to make a phone call. my car had broken down outside the town and i wanted to contact the aa. low grey clouds were gathering across the sky and there was a cold damp wind blowing off the sea which nearly threw me off my feet every time i crossed one of the side streets. it had rained in the night and water was dripping from the bare trees that lined the street. i was glad that i was wearing a thick coat. there was no sign of a call box, nor was there anyone at that early hour whom i could ask. i had thought i might find a shop open selling the sunday papers or a milkman doing his rounds, but the town was completely dead. the only living thing i saw was a thin frightened cat outside a small restaurant. then suddenly i found what i was looking for. there was a small post office, and almost hidden from sight in a dark narrow street next to it was the towns only public call box, which badly needed a coat of paint. i hurried forward, but stopped in astonishment when i saw through the dirty glass that there was a man inside. he was fat, and was wearing a cheap blue plastic raincoat. i could not see his face and he did not even raise his head at the sound of my footsteps. discreetly(谨慎地), i remained standing a few feet away and lit a cigarette to wait my turn. it was when i threw the dead match on the ground that i noticed something bright red trickling from under the call box door.1. at what time was the story set?a. an early winter morning.b. a cold winter afternoon.c. an early summer morning.d. a windy summer afternoon.答案解析：答案为a。本题为细节推理题。由第一段提到的“a cold damp wind”和第二段首句中提到的“at that early hour” 可以推断，故事发生在冬天的大清早。 故答案为a。2. which of the following words best describe the writers impression of the town?a. cold and frightening.b. dirty and crowded.c. empty and dead.d. unusual and unpleasant.答案解析：答案为c。本题为细节推理题。由第二段 “but the town was completely dead. the only living thing i saw was a thin frightened cat outside a small restaurant.”可知，小镇完全死气沉沉，唯一看到活着的东西就是小餐馆外一只消瘦、胆怯的猫，可以推断，小镇给作者的印象就是空荡和死气沉沉。故答案为c。3. the underlined word “trickling” in the last paragraph probably means_.a. rushing out suddenlyb. shining brightlyc. flowing slowly in dropsd. appearing slowly in a red color 答案解析：答案为c。本题为词义猜测题。通过第三段的描写，作者透过公用电话亭脏兮兮的玻璃看到里面有个人，他胖胖的，穿着一件便宜的蓝色塑料雨衣，看不到脸，听到作者脚步声的时候他甚至连头都没抬一下，当作者在门外等候的时候，点燃了一支烟，当他把熄灭的火柴扔到地上的时候，注意到电话亭门下面有鲜红的东西从门下面.四个选项中，a选项意思离文意最远，故排除。文中第一、二段提到的 “a cold damp wind”、 “it had rained in the night and water was dripping from the bare trees that lined the street.”和“but the town was completely dead.”等都是在衬托小镇的凄凉和可怕，因此可以推断，那红色的东西是电话亭里的人被谋杀后流出的鲜血，故“trickling”意思最接近c选项“一滴滴慢慢地流着”。4. why didnt the man raise his head when the writer came near?a. he was annoyed at being seen by the writer.b. he was angry at being disturbed by the writer.c. he was probably fast asleep.d. he was probably murdered.答案解析：答案为d。结合上题分析可知，当作者走进的时候电话亭里的人不抬头的原因是因为他有可能已经被谋杀。故答案为d。阅读下列短文, 从给的四个选项 (a、b、c和d) 中,
