第二部分 阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）

第一节  (共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分)

A

Finding time to enjoy life is becoming harder and harder. As the average workweek lengthens, leisure time drops. Yet some of the world’s busiest people are able to develop rewarding careers and also make time for family and leisure activities. Here is their best advice, plus that of time-management experts:

1. Use your peak hours wisely.

People tend to be most alert in late morning and midevening. Afternoon brings an increase in sleepiness. Use your high-efficiency hours to handle difficult jobs or engage in creative thinking. For low-efficiency times, concentrate on cleaning up or sorting your mail. By adapting to your mental condition, you can accomplish more in less time.

2. Make a plan.

Just 20 minutes of organizing can save an hour of extra effort remembering what must be done. “Don’t try to carry your life around in your head,” says Lucy Hedrick, author of Five Days to an Organized Life. “Write things down so you can free your brain for more inventive pursuit (追求).”

3. Discourage drop-ins.

The person who welcomes every visitor will get plenty of conversation but won’t accomplish much.

The trick is to develop harmless ways to protect yourself from minute-stealing interruptions. David E. Levy, a public-relations consultant (顾问), uses an alternative to the open-door policy by keeping his door half open. The message is clear: he really doesn’t want you to come in, but you can if it is important.

4. Tame (驯服) the telephone.

Few devices save more minutes—or waste so many more—than the telephone. Signal the end of your conversation with a phrase such as “Before we hang up…” You can save even more time by not taking every incoming call.

Keep a record of when people you call regularly are least busy and call them at those times. Even better, make appointments to call important contacts.

To help us gain an extra hour every day, a clockmaker in Dallas has created a timer measuring each minute at 57.6 seconds. The 2.5 seconds borrowed from each minute add up to an extra 60 minutes at the end of each day.

21. According to Lucy Hedrick, you should ________.

A. carry out your plans when you are free

B. enjoy your life whenever you can

C. forget everything annoying when taking a walk

D. stop occupying your mind with lots of things

22. Why does David E. Levy keep his door half open?   

A. To keep unimportant visitors from dropping in.

B. To show drop-ins are not welcome at all.

C. To tell drop-ins to come if they want.

D. To indicate he is expecting a visitor.

23. Who works most efficiently according to the passage?

A. An editor who is trying to produce a title for his article in the afternoon.

B. A manager who is designing selling plans with his office door open.

C. A student in class without taking any incoming calls.

D. A visitor to a mayor without making an appointment.

B

   We live in a judgment world where people are quick to point out the faults and imperfections of others yet seem unaware of their own. Some misguided souls believe they have a civil duty to help you to be a better person by telling you what a failure you really are first and then offering suggestions as to how you can improve.

So what is the solution to criticism ? If you are the one forcing others to feel ashamed of themselves, STOP. Make a conscious decision that rather than focus on the negative aspect of a person’s performance or attitudes, you’ll offer helpful suggestions from the get-go . If I’m painting out living room and making a mess in doing so , I would like my husband to say to me , “This  is a tough job. Can I offer a suggestion that might make it easier for you ? ” rather than having him point out what a sloppy painter I am and tell me how I should be doing it .

If you are on the receiving end of criticism , the “OK ” response is a perfect solution. What someone comments negatively on a task you are doing or a personality issue, a natural response is to defend and attack. However , this approach is rarely effective as it puts both parties on the defensive .  Instead , simply reply with “OK ” . This brief one-word response acknowledges the other person’s comment without agreeing with it or feeling necessary to engage in a debate about it .

 It is important to remain emotionally attached to what the other person is saying , to listen without feeling, to be an objective observer. It is much that one can learn form a negative review . You can ask yourself : Did I make a mistake ?  Could I have done better? Did I give 100% of myself to the task at hand ? If so , how can I improve ? As for chronic (习惯性的) criticizers: It is important to set strict boundaries with them .  Remove yourself from their presence when necessary .

 In any event, one can learn to be “OK ” with criticism and not allow it to negatively impact their life or relationship with the other party . Examine it for any potential truths , and them let it go and just be “OK ”.

24.What does the underlined word “sloppy” in paragraph 2 mean?

A. Lazy         B. Creative          C. Careless   D.  Energetic

25.What does the author want to show by using the example of painting ?

A. Nobody is perfect.        B. The art of criticizing.

C. The value of suggestions. D. Her husband cared about her.

26. What is the best way to respond when you are criticized by a person?

A. Just say “OK ”.                    B. Defend yourself.

C. Ignore the comment.                D. Seldom say “OK ”

27.You are told to ask yourself some questions in Paragraph 4 so as to _________,

A. take criticism objectively B. learn from others’ mistakes

C. better present negative  reviews      D. have more confidence in yourself

C

Natalie Doan, 14, has always felt lucky to live in Rockaway, New York. Living just a few blocks from the beach, Natalie can see the ocean and hear the waves from her house. “It’s the ocean that makes Rockaway so special,” she says.

On October 29, 2012, that ocean turned fierce. That night, Hurricane Sandy attacked the East Coast, and Rockaway was hit especially hard. Fortunately, Natalie’s family escaped to Brooklyn shortly before the city’s bridge closed.

When they returned to Rockaway the next day, they found their neighborhood in ruins. Many of Natalie’s friends had lost their homes and were living far away. All around her, people were suffering, especially the elderly. Natalie’s school was so damaged that she had to temporarily attend a school in Brooklyn.

In the following few days, the men and women helping Rockaway recover inspired Natalie. Volunteers came with carloads of donated clothing and toys. Neighbors devoted their spare time to helping others rebuild. Teenagers climbed dozens of flights of stairs to deliver water and food to elderly people trapped in powerless high-rise buildings.

“My mom tells me that I can’t control what happens to me,” Natalie says. “but I can always choose how I deal with it.”

Natalie’s choice was to help.

She created a website page matching survivors in need with donors who wanted to help. Natalie posted information about a boy named Patrick, who lost his baseball card collection when his house burned down. Within days, Patrick’s collection was replaced.

In the coming months, her website page helped lots of kids: Christopher, who received a new basketball; Charlie, who got a new keyboard. Natalie also worked with other organizations to bring much-needed supplies to Rockaway. Her efforts made her a famous person. Last April, she was invited to the White House and honored as a Hurricane Sandy Champion of Change.

 Today, the scars(创痕) of destruction are still seen in Rockaway, but hope is in the air. The streets are clear, and many homes have been rebuilt. “I can’t imagine living anywhere but Rockaway,” Natalie declares. “My neighborhood will be back, even stronger than before.”

28. When Natalie returned to Rockaway after the hurricane, she found _________.

A. some friends had lost their lives         B. her school had moved to Brooklyn  

C. her neighborhood was destroyed         D. the elderly were free from suffering

29. According to Paragraph 4, who inspired Natalie most?

A. Local teenagers bringing clothing to elderly people.

B. The people trapped in high-rise buildings.

C. The volunteers donating money to survivors.      

D. The people helping Rockaway rebuild.

30. How did Natalie help the survivors?

A. She gave her toys to other kids.   B. She built an information sharing platform.

C. She called on the White House to help.   D. She took care of younger children.

31. What does the story intend to tell us?

A. A friend in need is a friend indeed. B. Little things can make a big difference.

C. East or west, home is best.         D. Technology is power.

D

Before I studied psychology, I used to think that people would laugh when funny things occurred. While I was right about that, I discovered there are lots of other psychological factors that make people laugh other than the funny part of a joke. When someone laughs at a joke, there will usually be more than one reason that makes him laugh—and the more reasons there are, the more powerful the joke will be.

I was attending a stand-up comedy show in Egypt, and when the man started to make fun of pedestrians crossing streets, everyone laughed their hearts out. The main reason those people strongly laughed was that almost all of them felt angry towards pedestrians who crossed streets carelessly. The joke wasn’t only funny, it also made the audience feel that they were right about being angry at those pedestrians. That is, people were laughing both because of the funny joke and because of the happiness experienced as a result of the psychological support they got.

The better a joke makes a person feel, and the more it includes other psychological factors, the more the person will like it. For example, if you envy one of your friends, and someone tells a joke that is funny and, at the same time, makes your friend seem stupid, then you will probably laugh at it louder than if you weren’t jealous of him.

In short, we don’t laugh only when we hear something funny; we also laugh when we experience some kind of happiness that results from the other psychological factors involved in the joke. I strongly discourage making fun of anyone or belittling someone to make someone else laugh. All I want to explain is that if your joke supports a person’s emotions, he will certainly like it a lot.

32. What did the author find out after studying psychology?

A. Only good jokes make people laugh     B. Many factors lead to people laughing.

C. Funny things can make people laugh       D. Laughter can make people healthy.

33. Why did the audience laugh loud at the pedestrians?

A. They played a trick on the pedestrians.     

B. The pedestrians behaved in a funny way.

C. They could feel the pedestrians’ happiness.

D. Their emotion was approved of by the show.

34. What does the underlined word “belittling” probably mean?

A. Annoy       B. Blame       C. Look down on      D. Make up to

35. Which of the following best shows the structure of the passage?

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。

Happiness is the only true measure of personal success. Making other people happy is the highest expression of success. 36  With that in mind, here are some suggestions that will immediately increase the amount of happiness in your life:

     37  If there’s any big truth about life, it's that it usually lives up to your expectations. Therefore, when you rise from bed, make your first thought: “Something wonderful is going to happen today.” Guess what? You're probably right.

Take time to plan and prioritize(优先处理). The most common source of stress is the thought that you've got too much work to do. Rather than worry about it, pick one thing that will move you closer to your highest goal and purpose in life. Then do that first.

Eat high quality food slowly. 38  . Even so, at least once a day try to eat something really delicious, like a small chunk of fine cheese or an imported chocolate. Taste it, focus on it and enjoy it.

Let go of your results. The big enemy of happiness is worry, which comes from focusing on events that are outside your control. Once you've taken action, there's usually nothing more you can do.  39  .

End each day with gratitude. Just before you go to bed, write down at least one wonderful thing that happened. It might be something as small as making a child laugh or something as huge as a million dollar deal.  40 

     A. Start each day with expectations.

     B. Give a gift to everyone you meet.

     C. Thinking about that thing makes your head hurt.

     D. It’s impossible to make others happy if you're not happy.

     E. Whatever it is, be grateful for that day because it will never come again.

     F. Sometimes we can't avoid eating something quickly and running.

     G. Focus on the job at hand rather than some fantasy that might happen.

阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容或括号内单词的正确形式。

What defines a healthy city? Is it a place with a lot of open spaces   61   people can exercise and enjoy the fresh air? A place with little or no pollution? A place in which people can    62   (free) socialize and express their ideas? Perhaps, it’s all that plus more. Other considerations are the availability of health and fitness facilities, an excellent healthcare program and sincere efforts by   63   local government to actively promote health and wellness among its citizens. Of all the cities in the world, one of the top six   64   (healthy) cities is Copenhagen, Denmark.

Copenhageners love to walk. Foot traffic accounts   65   80% of all traffic in the Copenhagen city center. Those who prefer can also bike. It is estimated that more than a third of all work trips in Copenhagen   66   (carry) out on a bike. As for the climate here, the city does not have the blessing of pleasant weather all year round.   67   everything starts to freeze, it turns several city squares into huge skating fields. The frozen parts of the city also make   68   easier for residents to skate around. The city also has museums and art galleries for the kids and   69   (grown-up). It has the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Art and the Royal Library housed in a rather grand building   70   (call) the Black Diamond.

How time flies! A week have passed before I noticed it. Looking back on the things that happening last week, I found the life here full with happiness and interests. I can still remember the first day of the summer camp. I came to my bedroom by myself. When I opened a door, I saw a girl with short hair seating in a chair with a book in her hand. She must be a quiet girl who liked reading, I thought myself at the time. After we said hello to each other, other girl came in with a big noise. Her name was Rose. She was so outgoing and humor that both Cherry and I couldn’t help laughing at her words. Then we had studied and had meals together, and became good friends. I can’t forget the day when we spent together no matter where we are in the future.

One Possible Version

Dear Sir or Madam,

I’m Li Xia, a senior 3 student. Having learned that the English club will be open, I’m more than happy and interested. I’ve been learning English for over eight years. I love it and do well in every exam. However, I’m poor in my spoken English. Therefore, I’m eager to join the club to improve my speaking ability by communicating with the foreign teachers and other members.

But I have no idea whether there are some requirements for joining the club. Do I need to pay for membership? If so, how much should I pay? And can you introduce some activities to in detail?

Looking forward to your reply.

Yours,

Li Hua
