university of british columbia found.their experiments on more than 630 americans showed they were measurably happier when they spent money on otherseven if they thought spending the money on themselves would make them happier.“we wanted to test our theory that how people spend their money is at least as important as how much money they earn，” said elizabeth dunn，a psychologist at the university of british columbia. they asked their 600 volunteers first to rate their general happiness，report their annual income and detail their monthly spending including bills, gifts for themselves, gifts for others and donations to charity.“no matter how much income each person made，those who spent money on others reported greater happiness, while those who spent more on themselves did not，” dunn said in a statement.dunns team also surveyed 16 employees at a company in boston before and after they received an annual profit sharing bonus of between $ 3，000 and $ 8，000. “employees who devoted more of their bonus to prosocial spending experienced greater happiness after receiving the bonus, and the manner in which they spent that bonus was a more important predictor of their happiness than the size of the bonus itself，” they wrote in their report, published in the journal science.they gave their volunteers $ 5 or $ 20 and half got clear instructions on how to spend it. those who spent the money on someone or something else reported feeling happier about it.“these findings suggest that very minor changes in spending allocationsas little as $ 5may be enough to produce real gains in happiness on a given day，” dunn said.1what is the general idea of the passage?athe more you earn, the greater happiness you will get.bspending more money on yourself will make you happier.cif you spend money on someone else, you will feel happier.dyou can spend only $ 5 a day on someone else to get happiness. 2the underlined word “boost” in the first paragraph probably means_ahelp to find bhelp to bring chelp to increase dhelp to get3which of the following statements is not true according to the passage?athose who spend more money on others can get much more bonus.bpeople usually think spending money on themselves will make them happier.cvery small changes in spending your money may be enough to gain happiness.dresearchers think that how people spend their money is at least as important as how much money they earn.4dunn is _aan employee in a company ba psychologist at a universityca reporter in a journal da volunteer in the experiment语篇解读：通过实验表明给别人花钱(哪怕仅仅五美元)更能给自己带来快乐。1解析：主旨大意题。结合文章第二段中“they were measurably happier when they spent money on otherseven if they thought spending the money on themselves would make them happier”可知，本文通过实验来表明在别人身上花钱可以带来更大的快乐。答案：c2解析：词义猜测题。抓住关键词“little”表示少，和“significantly”表示较大地，可以知道每天在别人身上花很少的五美元，却能较大地增加快乐，所以boost表示增加、提高。答案：c3解析：推理判断题。根据文章第五段可知花钱在别人身上并不意味着得到更多的红利而是更多的快乐，更多的红利获得是通过工作业绩来取得的，所以a项错误。答案：a4解析：细节理解题。根据文章第三段“elizabeth dunn, a psychologist at the university of british columbia”可知b项正确。答案：bbsocieties all over the world name places in similar ways. quite often there is no official naming ceremony but places tend to be called names as points of reference by people. then an organized body steps in and gives the place a name. frequently it happens that a place has two names：one is named by the people and the other by the government. as in many areas, old habits die_hard,_and the place continues to be called by its unofficial name long after the meaning is lost.many roads and places in singapore (新加坡) are named in order that the pioneers will be remembered by future generations. thus we have names such as stamford road and raffles place. this is in keeping with traditions in many countriesin both the west and the east.another way of naming places is naming them after other places. perhaps they were named to promote friendships between the two places or it could be that the people who used to live there were originally from the places that the roads were named after. the mystery is clearer when we see some of the roads named in former british bases. if you step into selector airbase you will see piccadilly circusobviously named by some homesick royal air force personnel.some places were named after the activities that used to go on at those places. bras basah road is an interesting example. “bras basah” means “wet rice” in malay (马来语). now why would anyone want to name a road “wet rice road”？ the reason is simple. during the pioneering days，wet rice was laid out to dry along this road.a few roads in singapore are named by their shapes. there is “circular road” for one. other roads may have part of their names to describe their shapes，like “paya lebar crescent”. this road is called a crescent (月牙) because it begins on the main road，makes a crescent and comes back to join the main road again.5we learn from paragraph 1 that _athe government is usually the first to name a placebmany places tend to have more than one nameca ceremony will be held when a place is nameddpeople prefer the place names given by the government6what does the underlined phrase “die hard” in paragraph 1 probably mean?achange suddenly. bchange significantly.cdisappear mysteriously. ddisappear very slowly.7which of the following places is named after a person?araffles place. bselector airbase.cpiccadilly circus. dpaya lebar crescent.8bras basah road is named _aafter a person bafter a placecafter an activity dby its shape语篇解读：世界各地地名的命名方式都很相似。本文介绍了地名的四种命名方法。5解析：推理判断题。由文章第一段中“frequently it happens that a place has two names.”可知，许多地方都有不止一个名字。答案：b6解析：词义猜测题。die hard“顽固”，同d项意义接近。答案：d7解析：细节理解题。由文中第二段第一、二句可知a中地名是以人名命名的。答案：a8解析：细节理解题。由文中倒数第二段的第一、二句可知。答案：ccthirteen, for me, was a challenging year. my parents divorced and i moved to a new town with my father, far from my old family and friends. i was terribly lonely and would cry myself to sleep each night. to ease my sadness, my father purchased an old horse for me at a local auction. i named him cowboy.cowboy was without a doubt the ugliest horse in the world. but i didnt care. i loved him beyond all reason. i joined a riding club and suffered rude comments and mean snickers about cowboys looks. i never let out about how i felt, but deep inside, my heart was breaking. the other members rode beautiful，registered horses.when cowboy and i entered the events where the horse is judged on appearance，we were quickly shown_the_gate. no amount of preparation and love would turn cowboy into a beauty. my only chance to compete would be in the speed events. i chose the jumping race.one girl named becky rode a big brown horse in the race events. she always won the blue ribbons. needless to say，she didnt feel threatened when i competed against her at the next show. she didnt need to. i came in next to last.the stinging memory of beckys smirks made me determined to beat her. for the whole next month i woke up early every day and rode cowboy five miles to the arena(赛马场). we practiced running and jumping for hours in the hot sun and then i would walk cowboy home totally exhausted.all of our hard work didnt make me feel confident by the time the show came. i sat at the gate and sweated it out while i watched becky and her horse charge through the course and finish in first place.my turn finally came. i put on my hat, rubbed cowboys neck and entered the arena. at the signal, we dashed toward the first fence，jumped it without trouble and raced on to the next one. cowboy then flew over the second，third and fourth fences like a bird and i turned him toward the finish line.as we crossed the line the crowd was shocked into silence. cowboy and i had beaten becky and her fancy horse by two seconds!i gained much more than a blue ribbon that day. at thirteen, i realized that no matter what the odds，id always come out a winner if i wanted something badly enough to work for it.9the underlined expression “shown the gate” in paragraph 4 most probably means“_”atold how to enter the arenabshown how to make the horse beautifulcremoved from the competition earlydtold to enter the timed speed events10why was the writer not confident of victory?ahe was an inexperienced rider.bhe had not practiced enough.che believed he was unpopular with the crowd.dhe thought his horse wasnt as good as the others.11when the final race finished, nobody cheered because _athe audience didnt like cowboybpeople envied the writercthe win was unexpecteddthe writer had run out of time12what did the writer learn from his experience?alife can sometimes be unfair.banything is possible if one tries hard enough.ca positive attitude will bring success.done should not make judgments based on appearance.语篇解读：世上无难事，只怕有心人。十三岁那年，对作者来说，是富有挑战的一年，作者通过自己的努力用自己相貌丑陋的赛马cowboy最终打败对手，同时也战胜了自己。9解析：词义猜测题。从文章第三段第一句第四段“when cowboy and i entered the events where the horse is judged on appearance”可知作者用一匹相貌丑陋的马参加类似选美的比赛，结果可想而知，所以选c。答案：c10解析：细节理解题。根据第三段“.my heart was breaking.the other members rode beautiful, registered horses”可知作者因为自己的赛马没有别人的漂亮，而没有信心。答案：d11解析：推理判断题。因为贝基一直是该项目的冠军，而作者的马相貌丑陋，名不见经传，结果却出人意料地获胜了，这一切来得太突然。答案：c12解析：细节理解题。根据文章最后一段最后一句“i realized that no matter what the odds, id always come out a winner if i wanted something badly enough to work for it”可知。答案：bdyouth who study just a short walk from a fastfood outlet(商店)eat fewer fruit and vegetables，drink more soda and are more likely to be fat than students at other schools，according to a research published tuesday.the study，which involved more than 500，000 teenagers at middle schools and high schools in california，adds new evidence to a growing backlash against the fastfood industry as studies suggest they contribute to the rising overweight in the united states.“weve basically discovered that kids who are going to a school that is near a fastfood restaurant have a higher chance of being overweight than kids who are at a school that is not near a fastfood restaurant，”said brennan davis of azusa pacific university in california，whose study appears in the american journal of public health.for the study，davis and colleagues examined the relationship between fastfood restaurants located within one half mile of schools and overweight among middle and high school students in california.they took weight and dietary(饮食的) information from a statewide school survey between 2002 and 2005.“overall，our patterns are consistent with(与一致) the idea that fast food near schools affects students eating habits，” davis and colleagues wrote.they also found that students whose schools were located near fastfood restaurants eat fewer servings of vegetables and fruits，and drink far more soda than students at schools not located near fastfood restaurants.the study could not determine why fastfood restaurants near schools have such an influence，but davis said a nearby fastfood restaurant is really a hang out place for people to socialize.13which kid is most likely to become overweight，according to the passage?aone whose home is near a fastfood outlet.bone who studies near a fastfood outlet.cone who takes a short walk to a fastfood outlet.done whose school is far from a fastfood outlet.14the researchers believe that fast food

habits”可知答案。答案：b15解析：推理判断题。从文章第一段和倒数第二段的信息都可得到答案，在离快餐厅近的学校上学的孩子更容易发胖。c、d两项意思过于片面。答案：a第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。without plants, people could not live. we eat
