A【解析】I used to think the whole purpose of life was pursuing happiness, so I searched for ideal jobs, fashionable clothes, beautiful apartments. But instead of ever feeling fulfilled, I felt anxious.To explore the truth, I decided to learn positive psychology. I discovered what makes people depressed is a lack of having meaning in life. By interviewing hundreds of people and reading thousands of pages of psychology and philosophy, I found the four parts of a meaningful life.The first is belonging. Belonging comes from being in relationships where youre valued for who you are and where you value others as well. For most people, belonging is the most essential source of meaning. The second is purpose. The key to purpose is using your strengths to serve others. The third part is about stepping beyond yourself.The fourth one tends to surprise people. It is storytelling, the story you tell yourself about yourself. Creating a narrative from the events of your life helps you understand how you became you. But we dont always realize that were the authors of our stories and can change the way were telling them. Your life isnt just a list of events. You can edit, interpret and retell your story.Questions:What is most likely to make the speaker feel fulfilled?Why did the speaker interview hundreds of people?How can people tell their life story?【11题详解】此题为听力题，解析略。【12题详解】此题为听力题，解析略。【13题详解】此题为听力题，解析略。Questions are based on the following passage. 此处有音频，请去附件查看】14.A. Wearing gloves.B. Telling stories.C. Taking moves.D. Publicizing souvenirs.15.A. Round edges are more time-consuming than angles in animation.B.

Animation wins the popularity because of its fast output and accuracy.16.A. Because characters in the cartoons were given a personal touch.B. Because they distinguished the characters hands from the bodies.C. Because Walt Disney pioneered the industry and others followed the suit.D. Because Mickey Mouse and his friends wrote their signature with gloves.17.A. What do glove stand for in Disney?B. How did gloves become popular in Disney?C. When were gloves brought into being in Disney?D. Why do many Disney characters wear gloves?【答案】14. A 15. C 16. B 17. D【解析】Mickey, Minnie, Donald Duck, Pinocchio, and more Disney characters all have one thing in commongloves. Although there are many incredible stories about Disneys most famous characters, putting gloves on animation characters is actually a pretty logical move.The short answer as to why so many characters wear gloves is that animation is an intensive process. It takes time and accuracy to create the characters you know and love. Animators wanted to make their job a touch easier and faster with a few techniques. One of these strategies was using round edges instead of angles, according to Vox. So this also meant simplifying features, such as hands, to make the animation process quicker.Still, in the age of black and white cartoons, separating characters round-edge hands from their black bodies was hard. Gloves were an easy way to make their hands stand out. In fact, Walt Disney might have been the first to put gloves on his characters in The Opry House, starring Mickey Mouse, per Vox. Once animation moved away from black and white, Mickey and his friends kept their signature white gloves.Besides keeping the animation simple, Walt Disney told his biographer, Bob Thomas, that the gloves exist for another reason: to humanize the mouse. “We didnt want him to have mouse hands because he was supposed to be more human,” Disney told Thomas in 1957, according to the New York Times.Questions:What is the common feature of Disney characters?What can we conclude from the animation process?Why gloves enjoyed great popularity in black and white cartoons?What does the speaker mainly talk about?【14题详解】此题听力题，解析略。【15题详解】此题为听力题，解析略。【16题详解】此题为听力题，解析略。【17题详解】此题为听力题，解析略。Questions are based on the following passage.18.A.

Through photosynthesis (光合作用), they transform carbon dioxide into fresh oxygen. They _21_(assume) to remove toxins from the air we breathebut is this true?One famous NASA experiment, published in 1989, has found indoor plants can clean the air by removing pollutants _22_(cause) cancer. Later research has found soil micro-organisms in the potted plant also _23_(play) a part in cleaning indoor air.Based on this research, some scientists say house plants are effective natural air purifiers, and the bigger and leafier the plant, the better. The amount of leaf surface area influences the rate of air purification. _24_, however, say the evidence that plants can effectively accomplish this feat (功绩) is far from conclusive.“There are no definitive studies to show that having indoor plants can significantly increase the air quality in your home,” _25_Luz Claudio, a professor of environmental medicine and public health. “Theres no question _26_plants are capable of removing volatile (易挥发的) chemical toxins from the air under laboratory conditions,” says Claudio. But in your home or office space, the notion that putting a few plants together can purify your air doesnt have much hard science _27_(back) it up.Most research efforts to date, including the NASA study, placed indoor plants in small, _28_(seal) environments to assess how much air-purifying power they have. “But those studies arent really applicable to what happens in a house. In many cases, the air in your home completely turns overthat is, exchanges places with outdoor aironce every hour. In most instances, air exchange with the outside has a _29_(great) effect on indoor air quality than plants.” says Stanley Kays, a professor of horticulture (园艺学).Disappointed _30_many people may be by what Kays said, the professor also made it clear that he believes house plants are beneficial. Studies have shown plants can knock out stress and make people feel happier. More research shows spending time around nature has a positive effect on a persons mood and energy levels.【答案】21. are assumed22. causing23. play 24.
