replace it with a different 40 , or forget about it and 41 the tiles in your life that are not missing. we all know people who have had a relatively 42 life, yet are often unhappy while people who have suffered a great deal but 43 remain happy. the first 44 is gratitude. all happy people are 45 . ungrateful people cannot be happy. we tend to think that being unhappy leads people to 46 , but its

peaceful if women were in charge? a challenging new book by the harvard university psychologist steven pinker says that the answer is “yes”.in the better angels of our nature, pinker presents data showing that human violence, while still very much with us today, has been gradually declining. moreover, he says, “over the long sweep of history, women have been and will be a peaceful force. traditional war is a mans game: tribal women never band together to attack neighboring villages.” as mothers, women tend to maintain peaceful conditions in which to bring up their children.skeptics immediately reply that women have not made war simply because they have rarely been in power. if they were empowered as leaders, the disorder of the world would force them to make the same warlike decisions that men do. margaret thatcher,golda meir, and indira gandhi were powerful women; all of them led their countries to war.but it is also true that these women rose to leadership by playing according to the political rules of “a mans world.” it was their success consistent with male values that enabled their rise to leadership in the first place. in a world in which women were in the majority of leadership positions, they might behave differently in power.so we are left with the broader question: does gender(性别)really matter in leadership? in terms of traditional opinion, various psychological studies show that men tend towards the hard power of command, while women are cooperative and naturally understand the soft power of attraction and persuasion.the key choices about war and peace in our future will depend not on gender, but on how leaders combine hard and soft power skills to produce smart policies. both men and women will make those decisions.56. which of the following does pinker agree?a. human violence has been increasing. b. men play a vital role in traditional war.c. women have not made war due to their powerlessness. d. women prefer to take care of their babies at home.57. the author mentions margaret thatcher, golda meir, and indira gandhi to say .a. they were all women b. they also acted as leaders c. they were all heroes d. they also made war58. how did these women rise to leadership?a. by entering a famous university.b. by following values similar to mens.c. by showing their good character. d. by playing political games.59. what does the writer intend to tell us?a. war and peace depend on wise policies made by men or women.b. we had better choose women as our leaders if we want peace.c. women are more likely to make smart policies than men.d. me tend to lead their countries to war.bpeople who multitask all the time may be the worst at doing two things at once, a new research suggests. the findings, based on performances and self-evaluation by about 275 college students, indicate that many people multitask not out of a desire to increase productivity, but because they are easily distracted (分心) and cant focus on one activity. and “those people turn out to be the worst at handling different things,” said david sanbonmatsu, a psychologist at the university of utah. sanbonmatsu and his colleagues gave the students a set of tests and asked them to report how often they multitasked, how good they thought they were at it, and how sensation-seeking (寻求刺激) or imperative (冲动) they were. they then evaluated the participants multitasking ability with a tricky mental task that required the students to do simple mathematical calculations while remembering a set of letters. not surprisingly, the scientists said, most people thought they were better than average at multitasking, and those who thought they were better at it were more likely to report using a cellphone while driving or viewing multiple kinds of media at once. but those who frequently deal with many things at the same time were found to perform the worst at the actual multitasking test. they also were more likely to admit to sensation-seeking and impulsive behavior, which connects with how easily people get bored and distracted. “people multitask not because its going to lead to greater productivity, but because theyre distractible, and they get sucked into things that are not as important.” sanbonmatsu said. adam gazzaley, a researcher at the university of california, san francisco, who was not a member of the research group, said one limitation of the study was that it couldnt find out whether people who start out less focusedtoward multitasking or whether peoples recognizing and understanding abilities change as a result of multitasking.the findings do suggest, however, why the sensation-seeker who multitask the most may enjoy risky distracted driving. “people who are multitasking are generally less sensitive to risky situations.” said paul atchley, another researcher not in the group. “this may partly explain why people go in for these situations even though theyre dangerous.”60. the research led by sanbonmatsu indicates that people who multitask _.a. seek high productivity constantly b. prefer handling different things when getting boredc. are more focused when doing many things at a timed. have the poorest results in doing various things at the same time61. when sanbonmatsu and his colleagues conducted their research, they _.a. assessed the multitasking ability of the students b. evaluated the academic achievements of the studentsc. analyzed the effects of the participants tricky mental tasksd. measured the changes of the students understanding ability62. according to sanbonmatsu, people multitask because of their _.a. limited power in calculation b. interests in doing things differently c. inability to concentrate on one task d. impulsive desire to try new things63. from the last paragraph, we can learn that multitaskers usually_ .a. drive very skillfully b. go in for different tasksc. fail to react quickly to potential dangers d. refuse to explain the reasons for their behaviorcfor those who are tired doing the laundry, samsung has found an answer: a washing machine that can tell you when your laundry is done via a smartphone app(application). strange though it may seem “my wife already does that” was a common response among attendees viewing the device when it was introduced at the consumer electronics show (ces) this week samsung is just one of many appliance makers racing to install (安装) a large number of internet-connected features in machines in an effort to make them “smart”.last year, it was a refrigerator that tweeted. this year, its wi-fi-enabled laundry machines and fridges that can tell you when your groceries are going bad. the washers and dryers, available starting in the spring, connect to any smartphone through a downloadable application. the phone can then be used as a remote control, so the machines can be turned on and off while their owners is at work or on the bus. samsung says its not just something new the app connection actually has some practical uses. “if you started to dry clothes in the morning and forgot to take them out, you can go to your phone and restart your dryer for the time when come home, so your clothes are refreshed and ready to go,” said spokesperson amy schmidt. the company also says that with electricity rate(电价)varying depending on the time of day, more control over when the machines are used can help save money. perhaps, but what they will probably really accomplish is what all good technologies do enable laziness. rather than getting up to check on whether the laundry is done, users will instead monitor it on their phones while watching tv. 64. what can we learn about the new laundry machines?a. they can tell you when your clothes need washingb. they can be controlled with a smart phone c. they are difficult to operated. they are sold at a low price65. we can conclude form samsungs statements that _.a. the app connection makes life easier b. it is better to dry clothes in the morningc. smart phone can shorten the drying time d. we should refresh clothes back at home第卷（共45分）第四部分 任务型阅读（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分）请认真阅读下列短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入最恰当的单词。注意：每空格1个单词。请将答案写在答题纸（卡）上相应题号的横线上parents can help their seventh and eighth grade students stand out in and out of their english classroom by introducing them to newspapers. newspapers not only offer information on current events, but they can also be used to test your childs knowledge of grammar, vocabulary, and more.who, what, where, when, why, and how-have your child read the first couple of paragraphs of a news story. ask them to write down all of the important facts, such as who, what, where, when, why and how. this helps parents to see if their children comprehend the basic facts and information they read.grammar-parents can monitor a childs understanding of grammatical parts of speech (词性) without a grammar textbook. ask your child to read a paragraph in an article and then list a specific number of nouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs, pronouns, prepositions and the like, which serves more of a test of their grammatical knowledge. encourage them to list each of these parts of speech in a paragraph. then, reread the paragraph to see if they missed anything.persuasion-ask your child to select an advertisement from the newspaper. have them investigate how specific words or phrases influence their feelings about a particular product. then, encourage them to create an advertisement of their own for an item they do not like. tell them not to show their true feelings and try to make people want to buy this unwanted item. after that, ask them to list the persuasive techniques used in their ad.facts vs opinions-select an editorial for your middle schooler to read. have your child divide a piece of paper into two columns, one marked fact, and the other marked opinion. have your student decide which column it fits under. this will help your child better understand facts versus opinions. another related exercise is responding to an editorial. encourage your child to write letters to the editor or responses to editorials or other articles. before your child sends his or her letter, check the opinion section to see what requirements there are.headlines and synonyms(同义词)-ask your middle schooler to rewrite a couple of headlines using the synonyms of the original words. compare the headlines. do the original versions or the rewrites sound better? this is a great exercise to help students learn synonyms and expand their vocabulary.if you find your seventh or eighth grade child is struggling with these newspaper activities, it may be an indicator that they have fallen behind in their reading skills. these activities are designed with a seventh or eighth grader in mind; therefore, while they are educational, they should be more of reinforcement instead of a major reading challenge.outlinesupporting detailsan approach to learning(66)_students in seventh and eighth grades to newspapers can be helpful in learning english.newspaper (67_*ask students to read the first couple of paragraphs of a news story and write down the important and (68_ facts to see if they can un
