Al

11、though they have equal degree of health and wealth and other comforts of life, one becomes happy, the other becomes unhappy. This arises from the different ways in which they consider things, persons, events and the resulting effects upon their minds.People who are to be happy fix their attention on

12、 the convenience of things. The pleasant parts of conversation, the well prepared dishes, the goodness of the wine, the fine weather. They enjoy all the cheerful things. Those who are to be unhappy think and speak only of the opposite things. Therefore, they are continually dissatisfied. By their re

13、marks, they sour the pleasure of society, offend (hurt) many people, and make themselves disagreeable everywhere. If this turn of mind was founded in nature, such unhappy persons would be the more to be pitied. The intention of criticizing and being disliked is perhaps taken up by imitation. It grow

14、s into a habit, unknown to its possessors. The habit may be strong, but it may be cured when those who have it realize its bad effects on their interests and tastes. I hope this little warning may be of service to them, and help them change this habit.Although in fact it is chiefly an act of the ima

15、gination, it has serious results in life since it brings on deep sorrow and bad luck. Those people offend many others; nobody loves them, and no one treats them with more than the most common politeness and respect. This frequently puts them in bad temper and draws them into arguments. If they aim a

16、t getting some advantages in social position or fortune, nobody wishes them success. Nor will anyone start a step or speak a word to favor their hopes. If they bring on themselves public objections, no one will defend or excuse them, and many will join to criticize their wrongdoings. These should ch

17、ange this bad habit and be pleased with what is pleasing, without worrying needlessly about themselves and others. If they do not, it will be good for others to avoid any contact (接触) with them. Otherwise, it can be disagreeable and sometimes very inconvenient, especially when one becomes mixed up i

18、n their quarrels.1、The phrase “sour the pleasure of society” most nearly means_.Ahave a good taste with social life Bmake others unhappyCtend to scold others openly Denjoy the pleasure of life2、We can conclude from the passage that _.Awe should pity all such unhappy peopleBsuch unhappy people are da

19、ngerous to social lifeCpeople can get rid of the habit of unhappinessDunhappy people can not understand happy persons3、If such unhappy persons insist on keeping the habit, the author suggests that people should _.Aprevent any communication with themBshow no respect and politeness to themCpersuade th

20、em to recognize the bad effectsDquarrel with them until they realize the mistakes4、In this passage, the writer mainly _.Adescribes two types of people Blaughs at the unhappy peopleCsuggests ways to help unhappy people Dtells people how to be happy in life22（8分） People from East Asia tend to have mor

21、e difficulty than those from Europe in distinguishing facial expressions and a new report published online in Current Biology explains why.Rachael Jack from University of Glasgow, said that rather than scanning evenly across a face as Westerners do, Easterners fix their attention on the eyes.“We sho

22、w that Easterners and Westerners look at different face features to read facial expressions,” Jack said. “Westerners look at the eyes and the mouth in equal measure, while Easterners favor the eyes and ignore the mouth.”According to Jack and his colleagues, the discovery shows that communication of

23、human emotions is more complex than previously believed. As a result, facial expressions that had been considered universally recognizable cannot be used reliably to convey emotions in crosscultural situations.The researchers studied cultural differences in the recognition of facial expressions by r

24、ecording the facial movements of 13 Western people and 13 Eastern people while they observed pictures of expressive faces and put them into categories: happy, sad, surprised, fearful, disgusted, or angry. They compared how accurately participants read those facial expressions using their particular

25、eye movement strategies.It turned out that Easterners focused much greater attention on the eyes and made significantly more errors than Westerners did. “The cultural difference in eye movements that they show is probably a reflection of cultural difference in facial expressions,” Jack said. “Our da

26、ta suggests that while Westerners use the whole face to convey emotions, Easterners use the eyes more and the mouth less.”In short, the data shows that facial expressions are not universal signals of human emotions. From here on, examining how cultural factors have diversified these basic social ski

27、lls will help our understanding of human emotions. Otherwise, when it comes to communicating emotions across cultures, Easterners and Westerners will find themselves lost in translation.1、The discovery shows that Westerners _.Apay equal attention to the eyes and the mouthBconsider facial expressions

28、 universally reliableCobserve the eyes and the mouth in different waysDhave more difficulty in recognizing facial expressions2、What were the 26 participants asked to do in the study?ATo make a face at each other.BTo get their faces impressive.CTo classify some face pictures.DTo observe the researche

29、rs faces.3、What does the underlined word “they” in Paragraph 6 refer to?AThe participants in the study.BThe researchers of the study.CThe errors made in the study.DThe data collected from the study.4、In comparison with Westerners, Easterners are likely to _.Ado translation more successfullyBstudy th

30、e mouth frequentlyCexamine the eyes more attentivelyDread facial expressions more correctly23（8分） Experts like to say the best form of exercise is whatever kind youll actually do. But that may not always be the case; new research finds that people who combine exercise with their social lives may be

31、at an advantage over solitary(独自) exercisers. Tennis, badminton and soccer are all better for longevity(长寿) than cycling, swimming, jogging or gym exercise, according to the research.The study was based on data from about 8,500 adults who were part of the Copenhagen City Heart Study. They completed

32、a health and lifestyle questionnaire, which included questions about type and frequency of physical activity, and were monitored by the researchers for around 25 years, a period during which about 4,500 of the subjects died.Tennis came out on top in the research. Compared with people sitting all day

33、, those who reported playing tennis as their main form of exercise could expect to add 9.7 years to their life time, followed by badminton (6.2 years), soccer (4.7 years), cycling (3.7 years), swimming (3.4 years), jogging (3.2 years) and health-club activities (1.5 years).Tennis likely took the top

34、 spot because “its very interactive,” says study co-author Dr. James OKeefe, a physician at Saint Lukes Mid America Heart Institute. “At every point youre talking. Its just a very natural way to emotionally bond with people, besides getting your exercise.” But he adds that the study may not have bee

35、n able to fully account for the fact that wealthier, better-educated peoplewho tend to be healthier to begin withmay be more likely to play tennis.Activities like running and weight lifting still extend your life and offer plenty of other health benefits. But for the best possible benefits, OKeefe s

36、ays gym-goers may want to consider combining those workouts with activities that foster social connection.OKeefe, whose exercise typically includes running and weight lifting, says hes even changed his own behavior because of the study: he and his family have taken up badminton.“You cant play badmin

37、ton without feeling like a kid again,” he says. “Its just pure fun.”1、Which of the following is best for living a long life?ACycling. BBadminton.CSwimming.

38、most to the result of the research?AFamily life. BSocial connections.CFrequency of exercise. DWealth and education.4、What does OKeefe do after the finding?AHe puts the theory into practice.BHe plays badminton just for fun.CHe feels like playing badminton with kids.DHe takes more exercise than before

39、.24（8分）While reducing plastic waste is something most consumers wish to do, it is not an easy goal to achieve. Thats because the cheap and durable material is found in almost every household item from dinnerware to drink bottles to even food wrappers. Now, an Indonesian-based company has come up wit

40、h a delicious and nutritious solution to help reduce our dependence on this environmental hazard. Since single-use packaging is a large contributor to the problem, the creators decided to settle that problem first.After researching on various material options, the company settled on seaweed. Unlike

41、corn, commonly used for biodegradable（可生物降解的）containers, seaweed does not require resources like water, fertilizers, or large amounts of space. According to Evoware, as much as 40 tons of seaweed can be grown in an area the size of a baseball field. The marine algae（海藻类植物）also helps reduce ocean aci

42、dity by absorbing harmful green house gases like carbon dioxide. Since Indonesian farmers already harvest more seaweed than they can sell, it is not difficult for the company to find the material.Evoware says the seaweed packaging contains no chemicals and is safe to consume. In addition to wrapping

43、 fast food items like burgers, it can also be used to house things like instant noodles seasoning and single-serve instant coffee. Consumers simply drop the entire packaging into the hot water and watch the odorless（没有气味的）, tasteless packet disappear, leaving behind no trace of its existence.While r

44、eplacing plastic with the seaweed products may seem like a no-brainer to most of us, it is a hard-sell in Indonesia. According to Christian, “The awareness, understanding, and sense of urgency to minimize the use of single-use plastic is still very low. This makes our bioplastic seem irrelevant（不相干的

45、）and unnecessary.” Also a factor is the cost, which is higher the using plastic. However, Evoware believes they can reduce the price greatly once the company moves to full-scale production. Hopefully, Evoware will succeed in convincing Indonesians, and people worldwide, that their products will be b

46、eneficial to the protection of our beautiful planet.1、What does the underlined word “hazard” in Paragraph 1 mean?AProtection. BPower.CDanger. DContribution.2、Why does the company use seaweed to produce their wrappers?AIt is easy to acquire.BIt can be planted in baseball field.CIt is commonly used fo

47、r containers.DIt is popular with Indonesian farmers.3、What is the third paragraph mainly about?AThings able to be wrapped in seaweed containers.BComponents contained in seaweed containers.CWays of using the seaweed packaging.DAdvantages of the seaweed packaging.4、What does Evoware think of their fut

48、ure seaweed products?AThey will bring in huge profits.BThey remain a big challenge.CThey will be accepted finally.DThey will replace plastics completely.25（10分） My husband and I wanted desperately the instant transformation from typical consumers to eco-conscious peopleWe switched our light bulbs to
