The boy walked a long way, and finally came upon the beautiful castle where the wise man lived.On entering the main room of the castle, the boy was quite surprised: tradesmen coming and going, people chatting in the corners, and a small orchestra playing soft music. The wise man talked with everyone, and the boy had to wait for two hours before it was his turn.The wise man listened carefully to the boys explanation of why he had come, but told him that he didnt have time just then to explain the secret of happiness. He suggested that the boy look around the palace and return in two hours.“Meanwhile, I want to ask you to do something,” said the wise man, handing the boy a teaspoon that held two drops of oil. “As you wander around, carry this spoon with you without allowing the oil to spill.”The boy began to walk up and down stairs of the palace, keeping his eyes fixed on the spoon. After two hours, he returned to the wise man.“Well,” asked the wise man, “Did you see the Persian tapestries（挂毯）in the hall? Did you see the garden that took the master gardener ten years to create?” The boy was embarrassed, and replied that he had observed nothing. His only concern had been not to spill the oil.“Then go back and observe the wonders of my world,” said the wise man. The boy picked up the spoon and returned to his exploration of the palace. This time he observed all of the works of art on the ceilings and the walls. When he returned, he described in detail everything he had seen.“But where are the drops of oil?” asked the wise man. Looking down at the spoon he held, the boy saw that the oil was gone.“Well, there is only one piece of advice I can give you,” said the wise man. “The secret of happiness is to see all the wonders of the world, and never to forget the drops of oil on the spoon.”21.When the boy arrived at the castle, he .A. didnt expect to see so many people aroundB. had already missed his chance to talk to the wise manC. was shown around the palace by the local peopleD. received a warm welcome from the wise man22.The wise man gave the boy two tasks in order to .A. show him how to observe the wonders in the worldB. make him learn from his mistakesC. teach him the secret of happinessD. let the boy enjoy his palace and garden23.We can infer from the article that “the drops of the oil on the spoon” probably refer to .A. the beauty of ones natureB. B. the fortune a person possessesC. the great opportunities in lifeD. the responsibilities one has to take on24.What would be the best title for the article?A. The Secret of HappinessB. Lesson about HappinessC. Learning about HappinessD. Searching for HappinessBAs for visiting Walt Disney World. People usually have trouble in arranging. The following will give you some practical suggestions on paying a valuable visit to the famous park. When to go ? While its always busy, Disney World is slightly slower between mid-January and March. Its summer when the visitors , combined with the heat and humidity(潮湿), are crowded. Your best choice is either early in the morning or late in the day- often you can enjoy more rides in the first or last two hours of the day than you can the entire rest of the day combined. Where to stay? The question: to stay on Disney World Resort property or not. Disney World offers three resort pricing: Deluxe(豪华的), Moderate, and Value, with good facilities and in-hotel attractions. That said, they all offer “Extra Magic Hours”(early access to the theme parks), guaranteed entry when the parks are over-crowded, and frequent shuttle service to the many attractions. Off-property hotels will have shuttle transfers, but often at less regular intervals，wasting more time in transport. Youll also need a rental car, which adds to the expense, making up for saving in the hotel rate. The “Magic Your Way Package” is a good value if you have a large family.What to do?Make use of the “Fast Pass”, which, for no extra cost, allow you to insert your entrance ticket into a particular machine at the attraction and receive a schedule ride time a little later on. For example, use your Fast Pass ticket at a ride just before getting lunch. Once youre done eating, you can return to the ride and jump right on during the busiest time of day. At the Animal Kingdom, the animals are most active either early or late in the day, so plan accordingly. Thankfullythisis fit for the least busy times of day in the park. Study the map of the park the night before to plan your visit. Youll save time by knowing where things are and where youre headed.25. Visitors who use Fast Pass tickets _.Awill often be checked at the exit Bcan get discounts on ticketsCwill have a well-planned ride time Dhave to pay more for their tickets26. It can be learned from paragraph 3 that _.Athree types of resort pricing are offered by Disney WorldBevery visitor will have a rental car for freeCall the shuttle transfers are convenient for visitorsDyoung couples are advised to take the Magic Your Way Package27. The purpose of this text is to_.A. introduce the Animal KingdomB. give tips on visiting Disney WorldC. describe activities in Disney WorldD. advertise attractions in Disney WorldCMore than 2 million US teenagers have suffered a serious bout（发作) of depression in the past year, according to a federal government survey released on Tuesday.On average, 8.5 percent of adolescents aged 12 to 17 described having had a major depressive episode in the previous year, the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration reported.But there were striking differences by sex, with 12.7 percent of girls and 4.6 percent of boys affected.Depression is the leading cause of suicide, which in turn is the third-leading cause of death for 15- to 24-year-olds in the United States.The data Combined 2020 to 2020 data showed that rates of past year major depressive experience among youths aged 12 to 17 generally increased with increasing age, the researchers wrote.Researchers at SAMHSA and RTI International in Research Triangle Park, North Carolina, prepared the report using data from the National Survey on Drug Use and Health.More than 67,700 youths aged 12 to 17 answered questions about mood and depression. They were also asked to rate how depression affected them using the Sheehan Disability Scale, which measures impact on family, friends, chores at home, work and school.Researchersdefined a major depressive episode as two weeks or longer of depressed mood or loss of interest or pleasure, and at least four other symptoms such as problems with sleep, energy, concentration or self-image.Nearly half of the teenagers who had major depression said it severely damaged their ability to function in at least one of the areas on the disability scale.Fortunately, depression responds very well to early intervention and treatment, SAMHSA Administrator Terry Cline said in a statement.28.

How to recover from stressB. How to have a happy feelingC.How to prevent and treat depressionD. How to live a comfortable lifeDWhats on Your Pets Mind?In 1977, Irene Pepperberg of Harvard University began studying what was on another creatures mind by talking to it. Her first experiments began with Alex. Alex was a one-year-old African grey parrot and Irene taught him to produce the sounds of the English language. “I thought if he learned to communicate, I could ask him questions about how he sees the world.”At the time, most scientists didnt believe animals had any thoughts. They thought animals were more like robots but didnt have the ability to think or feel. Of course, if you own a pet, you probably disagree. But it is the job of a scientist to prove this and nowadays more scientists accept that animals can think for themselves.“That s why I started my studies with Alex,” Irene said, “Some people actually called me crazy for trying this.”Nowadays, we have more and more evidence that animals have all sorts of mental abilities. Sheep can recognize faces. Chimpanzees use a variety of tools and even use weapons to hunt. And Alex, the parrot became a very good talker.Thirty years after the Alex studies began, Irene was still giving him English lessons until his recent death. For example, if Alex was hungry, he could say “want grape”. Alex could count to six and was learning the sounds for seven and eight. “He has to hear the words over and over before he can correctly say them.” Irene said, after pronouncing “seven” for Alex a few times in a row. Alex could also tell the difference between colors, shapes, sizes, and materials (e.g. wood and metal). Before he finally died, Alex managed to say “seven”.Another famous pet that proved some animals have greater mental skills was a dog called Rico. He appeared on a German TV game show in 2020. Rico knew the names of 200 different toys and easily learned the names of new ones. When Rico became famous, many other dog owners wanted to show how clever their pets were. Another dog called Betsy could understand 300 words.One theory for dogs ability to learn a language is that they have been close companions to humans for many centuries and so their ability to understand us is constantly evolving (进化). While animals cant do what humans do yet, some scientists believe that examples like Alex and Rico prove that evolution develops intelligence, as well as physical appearance.32. Irene wanted to find out _. A. why a parrot can speak B. what a parrot thinksC. how parrots make sound D. if parrots speak English33. Alex learnt new words by _. A. singing them B. reading themC. rehearing themD. writing them 34. The two dogs mentioned in the article could _. A. tell different colors B. recognize strange voices C. copy human gestures D. understand some words 35. The article concludes that _. A. mental ability can evolve in animalsB. dogs may speak to humans one day C. humans are related to chimpanzeesD. our pets understand what we say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。(本题答案写在第13页的答题卷上)Stop Eating Yourself StupidWe all know that poor nutrition can lead to bad health and even weight gain. _ 36 A recent study has found that what you eat could very likely play a role in how smart you are.According to the study, rats fed a high-fat diet for 10 days showed signs of weakness and even had trouble finding treats that were waiting for them. 37 Actually high-fat diet could weaken our intelligence- but so can a calorie-restricted diet. The trick appears to lie in finding a nice balance.Here are ways to achieve that happy balance and make you smarter through diet, exercise and improving your brain power.38 Aim to get this amount of calories each day. If you need to drop a few pounds, take away the number you get by 400; consume that number of calories each day until you drop the weight.Eat the right foods in addition to getting the right amount of calories. Aim for healthy foods that include good amounts of protein, fiber, fruits and vegetables, healthy whole grains, healthy fats and plenty of water! Well! 39 Read a book. Try a new recipe. Do some puzzles. These are all good ways to help increase your smarts.40 Aim for at least three 30-minutes sessions a week. I like simple exercises such as walking, but anything that raises the heart rate is good. You may be fond of music too. Combine them! Some people like to listen to classical music such as Bach or Mozart, but rock music lovers will be happy to learn that this genre can help make you smarter as well.A. Exercise regularly with happy mind forever.B. Your health depends on your exercise plan.C. Dont forget to exercise your mind while doing so.D. Now add “lack of intelligence” to the list.E. You may be puzzled whether it has something with us.F. Remember: All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.G.
