（共20小题，每小题1.5分）AWHERE is the happiest place on Earth? No, it’s not DisneyWorld, but a real country – Switzerland.Among them, West African country Togo is the least happy. TheUS and China rank 15th and 84th respectively on the list. OnApril 23, the United Nations published the World HappinessReport 2015. Switzerland ranks 1st among 158 nations, followedby Iceland, Denmark, Norway and Canada. Western Europeancountries take seven positions out of the top 10, whileAfghanistan (阿富汗), Syria (叙利亚) and eight African countries make the bottom 10.The research is based on six measures. The first two are the GDP per capita (人均国内生产总值) and the citizens’healthy life span (寿命). On average, Swiss people make $84,748 (525,821 yuan) a year and live 82 years. While for Togo, the numbers are $636 and 58 years.Other than the statistics(统计数据), happiness is also showed by people’s feelings, behaviors and everyday lives. Therefore, the measures of this research also include questions that are clos e to one’s daily life. For example, ―Do you feel free to choose what you do with your life?”, “Do you have relatives or friends you can count on to help you whenever you need them?”, “Have you donated money to a charity in the past month?”People in Switzerland speak highly of their nation in all these aspects.“This report gives evidence on how to achieve societal(社会的) well-being. It’s not by money alone, but also by fairness, honesty, trust, and good health,‖ said Jeffrey Sachs, one of the editors of the report.

Will it become boring?Twenty-eight eighth-graders at St. Matthew School in San Francisco will tell you it can still be rich and colorful.These students took part in their school’s ―tech-free‖ challenge. They couldn’t use cell phones for two weeks from Nov 11 to Nov 22.The idea was to help students understand how technology has affected their lives, said Denise Uhl, principal (校长) of the school.Uhl did a survey on technology usage among the eighth-graders before thinking of the challenge. She found that 84 percent of the students said they didn’t like it ―when everyone was on their cell phones‖, but they didn’t know what to do about it. The answer was actually easy –to stop constantly (频繁地) using cell phones.To help students understand the point, Uhl created the activity. It was warmly welcomed among students.“I wanted to sign up for the tech-free challenge because it was jus t really a good idea to do it,‖ eighth-grader Joe told local newspaper Catholic San Francisco. ―I wanted to get closer to my family. And it really worked. I started to hang out with my family more. We watched more family movies and we played a lot of board games.‖The activity also helped students develop their interests.During the two weeks, Lucas said he spent much more time outside, picking lemons in his garden.

Where can we see this passage?A. In a novel.B. In a news report.C. In a science magazine.D. In an advertisement.EMany textbooks are not written in the kind of English that we speak every day. In fact, sometimes the reading is so difficult that it almost seems like a foreign language. In a way, it is—the language of science. You should not expect to be able to read a difficult science passage the same way you read an interesting story; you should not expect to read it easily and all at once. Instead, you may have to read it several times through, catching on the meaning of difficult words, going back over difficult sentences, and finally putting the whole thing together. Do not be discouraged if the whole passage don’t make sense to you at first. You need to pick it apart patiently until you can understand it.These are the steps to follow when you are reading something difficult:★ 1. Start to read normally until you run into a sentence that doesn’t make sense to you.★ 2. When a sentence doesn’t make sense, go back and read it again more slowly.★ 3. Look for any word you don’t know in the sentence. Try to understand their meanings using word parts and context clues(上下文线索). If necessary, look them up in the dictionary.★ 4. Look at the next few sentences to see if they explain more about the sentence you are working on. Do not read very much farther ahead until you understand what is being said.★ 5. Finally, read the sentence again. Try to put it into simpler words.★ 6. Read through the passage once. Try to understand all the hard parts well. Then read the whole passage once more at a usual speed. This helps you to put all ides together.The stops sound a lot harder than they are. It is really just the normal way good readers understand anything that is difficult to read. After you have done the best you can this way, you should always feel free to ask for help from your teacher, if you have one.43. The underlined phrase ―run into‖ means ___________.A. work outB. come acrossC. look intoD. pass by44. From the passage, we can know _________.A. we should look up new words before readingB. it is sometimes difficult to read a science passageC. the six steps are helpful in learning spoken EnglishD. interesting stories help readers to improve their English45. The passage is mainly about _________.A. steps of studying scienceB. difficulties in reading scienceC. ways of reading science passagesD. researches on science and English第二部分非选择题（25分）Ⅳ、语法填空：用所给单词的适当形式填空，未提供单词的限填一词，将答案写在答题卡上。
