三、阅读理解(共15小题; 每小题2分, 满分30分)
A
Making choices is necessary, but not always easy. Many of our expressions tell about this difficulty.
One of these expressions is “Hobson’s choice”. It is often used to describe a difficult choice. But that is not what it really means. Its real meaning is to have no choice at all. The Hobson in the expression was Thomas Hobson. Mr.Hobson owned many horses in Cambridge. Mr. Hobson often rented his horses to the students at Cambridge University. But he didn’t really trust them to take good care of the horses. So, he had a rule that prevented the students from riding his best horses. They could take the horse that was nearest the stable door. Or, they could not take any horse at all. Thus, a Hobson’s choice was really no choice.
A nother expression for having no real choice is “between a rock and a hard place”. It is often used to describe a difficult situation with few choices — none of them is good. For example, your boss may ask you to work late. But you have plans to go to a movie with your friends. If you refuse to work, your boss may get angry. But if you do not go to the movies with your friends, they may get angry. So what do you do? You are “caught between a rock and a hard place”.
Another expression —“between the devil an d the deep blue sea” — also gives you a choice between two equally dangerous things. Its meaning seems clear. You can choose the devil and his burning fires of hell. Or, you can choose to drown in the sea. Some experts in lexicology (词汇学)
say the expressio n comes from the days of wooden ships. The “devil” is a word for a seam between two pieces of wood along the waterline of a ship. If the seam or crack between the two pieces of wood begins to leak (漏), then a sailor must fix it. The sailor ordered to make the repairs was in a dangerous situation. He was hung over the side of the ship, working “between the devil and the deep blue sea”.
There is still another expression that describes a situation with only bad choices —“on the horns of a dilemma” (左右为难). The dictionary says a dilemma is a situation in which you must make a decision between two equally balanced choices. When your dilemma has horns(角), making a choice becomes impossible. When you are “on the horns of a dilemma”, no matter which horn you choose, something bad will happen.
36. We could learn from Mr. Hobson’s story that he .
A. wanted to teach the students a lesson
B. liked to make things difficult for the students
C. didn’t permit the students to ride his best horses
D. didn’t know th e students were good at riding horses
37. The underlined word “seam” in Paragraph 4 refers to .
A. the line where two pieces of wood meet
B. the piece of wood which begins to leak
C. the side of the ship which was being hung over
D. the sailor ordered to repair the broken side of the ship
38. Which of the following expressions doesn’t mean bad choices?
A. Between the devil and the deep blue sea.
B. Hobson’s choice.
C. Between a rock and a hard place.
D. On the horns of a dilemma.
B
The bell rings and in a few moments, the most disordered part of the day begins —lunch. Food begins to be dished out, and some students are eager to see their friends, while others cannot bear the thought of what is about to happen. Anxiety (焦虑) builds for many as they think today will be just like any other day. Press repeat and this happens every day.
But Bridport Elementary in Bridport introduced a system to solve this classic scene of loneliness and meet new friendships. There’s hardly room for the question, “Will you save me a seat?” at Bridport Elementary, where students are guided to assigned (指定的) tables and given the opportunity to open their hearts and minds to a new friend. The school’s president Kilbourne had observed too many days in which the same kids were left alone, while the others were always accompanied by friends. Something had to change.
The school gives a new system in which students line up to pick a numbered stick before
getting their food. Each stick has a number that’s linked with a table, showing where they will eat lunch for the day.
This system was used five months ago. Today, if you walked into the cafeteria, you wouldn’t find any numbers or any sticks. Kilbourne made a promise to the students that the system would eventually disappear if she saw that students learned to value inclusivity (包容) and friendship.
People really saw a change. A girl was walking around by herself with her lunch in her hand, and four tables asked her to join them. At another table, a kindergartener was sitting alone for just a few moments before two sixth graders came over to sit with him, and actively included him in conversation.
Now we are left wondering: how can lessons learned from the cafeteria be used elsewhere? Students and adults all over the country could benefit from an approach in which every person is always welcome at the table in any situation.
39. What inspired the president of Bridport Elementary to introduce the system?
A. Students didn’t speak to friends at a table.
B. S tudents didn’t manage to get a seat in the cafeteria.
C. Students had no one to communicate with in a crowd.
D. Students had little interest in lunch due to the pressure of study.
40. Why could no numbers or sticks be found in the cafeteria?
A. Because students were tired of them.
B. Because they didn’t work out as expected.
C. Because they were replaced by something else.
D. Because there was no need for them any more.
41. What is most likely to be talked about in the paragraph following the passage?
A. The benefits of the system.
B. The disadvantages of the system.
C. The wider use of the system.
D. The lessons learned from the system.
C

D
When people ask me what I want to do when I grow up, I say, “I want to change the world and find happiness.” That’s a hard one, don’t you think? In a world full of war, poverty and hatred (仇恨), it’s definitely not possible. Well, that’s what some people say.
But you know what I think? There is hope. And you find happiness everywhere — old couples who’ve been together for a long time, little kids running around the playground, inspirational books, little babies, changes of seasons — I find happiness in every single little thing. I find it every minute.
Around me, I find people of my age, doing drugs, going to parties —just to gain attention. We’re so busy being selfish, comparing ourselves to others, setting unrealistic goals for ourselves, wanting to look prettier, lose more weight, make more money, and be more popular. But then I think, is that really what life’s all about? There are innocent kids out there, being abused, poor, and hungry. And here we all are complaining about how hard our lives are.
Most of us are always depressed and unhappy. Why do we always try to run away from our problems, rather than just facing them? I mean this is life! You cannot run away from it, and you cannot hide from it definitely. All we can do is to accept what life gives us, and face our problems, difficulties and frustrations(挫折). And maybe, just maybe, they’ll turn into your best friends. They’ll make you stronger, they’ll help you face reality and they’ll teach you to value the little things in life.
Because we always fail to look at the brighter side of things, we always fail to find happiness in little things. There are so many beautiful things around which we seldom notice. Maybe that is why people can’t find happiness; we keep looking for it in the wrong places — money, fame and so on.
“FIND” happiness —we all think it’s some sort of destination. We keep “looking” for it; we wake up every day wishing it would be the day when everything goes right.
What we all fail to understand is that happiness isn’t really something that we can “find”. It’s not a destination, it’s not something you find along the road of life; it’s a choice, a feeling — you can be happy wherever, whenever, only if you choose to be. Happiness is something within you, waiting to be found, waiting to help you escape from this harsh reality.
So here are your questions:
Are you happy?
Have you found what you are looking for?
Do you think life is hard?
Have a great day, and I hope you’re happy with whatever you do. Life can be hard at times, but
I hope you find the strength to face whatever it gives you.
46. What does the author think about the idea of changing the world?
A. Hard.
B. Easy.
C. Possible.
D. Impractical.
47. According to the third paragraph, many of the author’s peers .
A. are popular and admiring
B. have a bad attitude to life
C. suffer from extreme poverty
D. are very generous and wealthy
48. Why do most people feel very unhappy?
A. They might live a poor life.
B. They have difficulty getting best friends.
C. They fail to value friendship with others.
D. They lack the courage to face difficulties.
49. Which of the following is TRUE about happiness according to the author?
A. Happiness is an attitude.
B. Happiness is too unreal to feel.
C. Happiness is a kind of destination.
D. Happiness means that everything goes right.
50 The author’s purpose in writing this article is to tell us .
A. what happiness is
B. where happiness is
C. why we feel unhappy
D. who controls our happiness
四、任务型阅读(共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分)
请认真阅读下列短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。

注意：每个空格只填一个单词。

Stress is not ever fun to deal with. There are several ways to reduce it, including improving diet, getting more sleep, and exercising. However, have you ever thought about the fact that pets are able to reduce stress and anxiety? Pets, in fact, are one of the best stress relievers (缓和物). Firstly, they can help decrease blood pressure. Pets have been known to reduce blood pressure better than medications (药物). They can sense tension and have a natural ability to keep us calm. When humans feel stressed, their blood pressure tends to increase, which worsens the health effects of being stressed.
Secondly, pets can encourage us to exercise more. It is sometimes difficult to get ourselves to do exercise, but when the health of a pet is in your hands, you are pretty much forced to! Pets encourage us to go on walks, jogs, and to play fetch in the backyard. Exercise is good for stress management and overall health, so owning a pet can be credited with increasing these benefits.
Thirdly, pets can help their owners to win more social support. Dogs and cats can make us more approachable and give people a reason to stop and talk. This gives people an opportunity to increase their network of friends and acquaintances, which also has great stress management benefits.
Fourthly, pets can improve our mood. For those of us who love animals, we know that it is impossible to stay in a bad mood with pets in our lives. Some studies have shown that people who own pets are less likely to suffer from depression.
Last but not least, pets can prevent you feeling lonely. Animals can be there for you in ways that people can not. They do not judge and they definitely will not ever cancel plans. They offer love and companionship and keep our secrets, no matter what. It may sound silly, but pets can be even better listeners than humans can be! In this way, pets reduce stress that may come from social isolation (孤立).
Therefore, if you do not already have a pet, hopefully reading this article encourages you to go out and get one! And if you already own one, you are probably appreciating them more than you did before. Remember that if you are constantly feeling stressed and anxious, even with a pet around, it would probably be best to see a doctor to discuss other options (选择) to reduce your stress.
