And, as Denmark recently won the title of “the happiest country in the world”, the concept of hygge is known to more and more people interested in finding ways to understand this concept.Hygge —originally from a Norwegian word meaning well-being —doesn’t have an exact equivalent (等同物) in English. It’s often translated as coziness, or as blogger Anna West told the BBC, “coziness of the soul”. But, as professor Maren Spark explains, “Hygge was never meant to be translated. It was meant to be felt.”Basically, hygge involves creating a warm, cosy atmosphere and enjoying it with your loved ones. Danish winters are long and dark and so achieving hygge is particularly relevant during this season. A typical Hygge activity during winter could be enjoying delicious homemade food and light-hearted conversation with friends —preferably in the warm glow of candlelight, or maybe sipping a glass of wine in the hot tub after a day spent skiing.However, hygge isn’t only limited to the cold winter months —it can also describe that warm, fuzzy feeling you get after a walk through a forest with friends on summer’s day or a family barbecue in the park. Hygge is meant to be shared.1.The author asks the readers to imagine the scene in the first paragraph to_________ .A. help the readers to calm downB. introduce the topic of the passageC. present the main idea of the passageD. remind the readers of their past memories2.What do the underlined words by Maren Spark mean?A. The translation of the word “hygge”is not good enough.B. Only Danish speakers know what “hygge”means.C. “Hygge”is easy to translate but hard to feel.D. We can get the true meaning of “hygge”by feeling it.3.Which of the following can be best described as a “hygge”activity?A. Skiing in the cold winter months.B. Living through long dark winters.C. Taking afternoon tea with friends.D. Walking alone in the forest.4.The author writes this passage to_________.A. explainB. persuadeC. commentD. advertiseⅡ.完形填空(2016·郑州第二次质量预测)I had just started my second year studying at Cambridge University when I was faced with the news I had never expected.A lump in my neck 1 out to be cancer.I would 2 six months of chemotherapy(化疗).After the shock,I was struck by this thought:my 3 didn’t have any room for cancer.I had so much I wanted to 4 and so many goals I wanted to chase.I was faced with the 5 job of telling my friends and family.Then,I had to decide whether to 6 in Cambridge and take five exams at the end of the year.My doctor 7 against it,and so did my parents and teachers.My doctors and teachers convinced me that taking some time off to 8 and relax would be the best thing for me.I could not think of anything 9 .I did not want to 10 a year of my life,receiving pity from those around me.Together with my parents,I tried to persuade the university to 11 me to stay at Cambridge and study only half the course.At the end of the year I would take two exams.It was really a 12 to persuade them to agree.Treatment began and I was up and down from Cambridge to London every other week.It made me feel 13 ,but to a much lesser degree than I had expected.I was 14 to read,eat and socialize exactly as I used to.I slept a lot and rested a lot,but I also worked hard at my studies.It gave me focus,and it also gave me pleting my 15 at the end of the term felt like a great personal victory.I took a 16 to continue studying while undergoing treatment,and it17 .I was successful in my exams—and more 18 ,I made a full recovery.Every person facing a disease like cancer must make the 19 that are right for them.I am 20 that I made the decision that was right for me.1.A.stuck B.cameC.turnedD.worked2.A.require B.expectC.senseD.arrange3.A.body B.memoriesC.familyD.dreams4.A.face B.achieveC.showD.understand5.A.necessary B.temporaryC.difficultD.disappointing6.A.join B.treatC.settleD.continue7.A.fought B.advisedC.actedD.decided8.A.recover B.exerciseC.studyD.play9.A.better B.worseC.moreD.less10.A.save B.spendC.takeD.miss11.A.help B.remindC.allowD.invite12.A.struggle B.failureC.burdenD.trouble13.A.tired B.relaxedC.confidentD.nervous14.A.afraid B.readyC.ableD.eager15.A.purpose B.projectsC.treatmentD.exams16.A.rest B.riskC.privilegeD.job17.A.ended up B.passed onC.paid offD.broke out18.A.clearly B.interestinglyC.specificallyD.importantly19.A.choices B.changesC.effortsD.chances20.A.surprised B.excitedC.determinedD.proudⅢ. 短文改错(2016·太原一模)Yesterday my friend Julia and me had lunch in the Pizza Hut behind our school.I knew Julia wasn’t crazy about pizzas,but she came along just because me.At the table next to ours,there were two guys from our class.One of them was real funny.He tried to imitate all the customer in the Pizza Hut.We couldn’t stop to laughing.And there were some people whom did not like the fact that two boys were imitating them.They complained to an owner of the Pizza Hut,so he came over and tell them to stop.Seeing it,Julia and I was greatly embarrassed.考点规范练(必修5Unit1)本文讲述的是Susan和Larry开车去度假的途中讨论是否停车用餐的一段对话。
