According to a review of evidence in a medical journal, runners live three years 1 (long) than non-runners. You don’t have to run fast or for long 2 (see) the benefit. You may drink, smoke, be overweight and still reduce your risk of 3 (die) early by running.While running regularly can’t make you live forever, the review says it 4 (be) more effective at lengthening life 5 walking, cycling or swimming. Two of the authors of the review also made a study published in 2014 6 showed a mere five to 10 minutes a day of running reduced the risk of heart disease and early deaths from all 7 (cause).The best exercise is one that you e njoy and will do. But otherwise … it’s probably running. To avoid knee pain, you can run on soft surfaces, do exercises to 8 (strength) your leg muscles (肌肉), avoid hills and get good running shoes. Running is cheap, easy and it’s always 9 (energy). If you are time poor, you need run for only half the time to get the same benefits as other sports, so perhaps we should all give 10a try.1.____________2.____________3.____________4.____________5.____________6.____________7.____________8.____________9.____________ 10.____________二.（共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分）(2018全国II卷)阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容（1个单词）或括号内单词的正确形式。

My grandmother, my mother, and I were having lunch after a morning spent shopping.I gladly ordered a Salisbury steak. When brought to the table, it was accompanied by a plate of peas. I do not like peas now. I did not like peas then. I have always hated peas."Eat your peas," my grandmother said."Mother," said my mother in her warning voice. "He doesn't like peas. Leave him alone."My grandmother did not reply, but leaned in my direction, looked me in the eye, and spoke out the fateful words that changed my life, "I'll pay you five dollars if you eat those peas."I only knew that five dollars was a huge, nearly unimaginable amount of money, and awful as peas were, only one plate of them stood between me and the possession of that five dollars. I began to force them down my throat.My mother looked livid (铁青色的). My grandmother had a self-satisfied look and said, "I can do what I want, Ellen, and you can't stop me." My mother glared at her mother. She glared at me. No one can glare like my mother. If there were a glaring Olympics, she would undoubtedly win the gold medal.I, of course, kept shoving peas down my throat, and every single pea made me want to throw up, but the magical image of the five dollars floated before me, and I finally swallowed every last one of them. My grandmother handed me the five dollars with satisfaction. My mother continued to glare in silence.That night, at dinner, my mother served two of my all-time favorite foods, meatloaf and mashed potatoes. Along with themcame a big, steaming bowl of peas. She offered me some peas, and of course I declined. My mother fixed me with a cold eye as she heaped （堆积) a huge pile of peas onto my plate. Then came the words that were to haunt (萦绕) me for years.

Which of the following can be the best title of the passage?A. A powerful mother and a more powerful grandmotherB. An argument caused by a plate of peasC. A choice between money and loveD. The haunting of a plate of peas.CHumans and gorillas shared evolution for 23 million years. Their paths separated only six million years ago. Research on how gorillas communicate can help us understand human language development.Understanding how the brain works helps us see a connection between language development and non-verbal signs. These signs or movements include things like the way we move our hands or bodies or the different expressions our faces have in different social situations. A new study on gorillas showed that the right side of the body is controlled by the left part of the brain and it is also the location for language development.Two cameras were used to film all of one ape’s mo vements. One of the first results was that gorillas use their right hands more when they are doing actions with their heads or mouths at the same time. This shows that there is a connection between how our brain works and the reason we use one side of our body more than the other. In addition, we can use the results of the study and our knowledge about brains to help us understand more about how language first developed in humans.Dr. Forrester, who did the study, says the results can be useful in other ways, such as understanding language development in children. For example, some children have serious illness called “autism” which can stop them communicating normally with people. It might be possible to use the same study method to find out which children have this illness when they are very young. Doctors will then be able to start treatment early.28. Which of the following may have a connection with right-handedness?A. Communication.B. Intelligence.C. Social position.D. Social success.29. What doe s the underlined word “it” refer to?A. The right side of the body.B. The mouth.C. The left part of the brain.D. The front part of the head.30. Who might benefit most from the results of the study?A. Photographers of gorillas.B. Zoo keepers.C. Researchers on movement.D. Children with illness.31. We can infer from the text that gorillas ___________.A. prefer to use the right hand instead of the left handB. have a complex form of non-verbal communicationC. help us better develop our language abilitiesD. share the same body language with humansDWhen Jeff Sparkman draws his cartoon superheroes with colored pencils, he often has to ask other people to tell him whatcolor his masked men turned out to be because he's color-blind. Now, a new smart phone application (app) can help him figure out what colors he's using and how the picture looks to most everyone else.The DanKam app, available for iPhone and Android for $2.99, is an application that turns the vague colors that one percent of the population with color-blindness sees into the "true" colors as everyone else sees them. In America, an estimated 32 million color-blind Americans---95% are males---can soon have their life improved."DanKam takes the stream of data coming in through the phone's camera and changes the colors slightly so they fall within the range that people who are color-blind see," developer Dan Kaminsky told CNET. He came up with the idea after watching the 2009 film Star Trek with a color-blind friend.It was then that he got to know more about colorblindness like its varying types and degrees. A vast majority, for instance, have trouble seeing red or green due to a genetic defect(遗传缺陷). Blue-yellow colorblindness, however, is rarer and develops later in life because of aging, illness or head injuries, etc. He started experimenting with one of the most common representations of points in the RGB color model. What the DanKam app attempts to do is to clean up the color space of the image or video signal so that colors can be visible to those suffering from viewing problems. "You can adjust the app to fit your needs. There is a range and not everyone who is color-blind sees things the same.” Says Kaminsky.Sparkman, a copy editor at CNET, tried out the app and was pleased with the results. "It would be useful for dressing for a job interview," he said. But using it for his art is "the most practical application." It worked well on LED and other lights on electronic gadgets, which means Sparkman can now identify the power light on his computer display as green.32. According to the first two paragraphs, we can know that DanKam ___________.A. appeared in the movie Star TrekB. can turn vague colors into real onesC. is a phone used to help drawing picturesD. is designed to help people with colorblindness33. How does DanKam’s app work?A. It puts LED and other lights on electronic gadgets.B. It changes the colors so that color-blind people can see them.C. It checks color-blind people’s t ypes of degrees of colorblindness.D. It shows common representations of points in the RGB color model34. It can be inferred from the passage that colorblindness __________.A. cannot be cured by any methodsB. is more commonly seen in womenC. is not necessarily inborn diseaseD. makes people unable to tell any colors35. Which of the following is NOT included in the things that DanKam helps Sparkman with?A. Choosing clothes.B. Drawing his pictures.C. Playing computer gamesD. Handling electronic gadgets.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人空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

高三英语晚自习限时训练【3月31日晚限制：不超过65-70分钟】一、六选四阅读1. Complete the following passage by using the sentences given below. Each sentences can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.Can just one person make a difference? You bet! In a community every person counts, and getting involved is not difficult. Take stock of your own talents and interests. Don't wait for someone else to act first. Take the initiative! Once you see what you can accomplish, you'll want to keep going.Here are just a few ways to make a difference in your community. How many more ways can you come up with?Clean up the community. People often throw litter in places where there is already litter. And the problem only becomes worse until someone gets fed up and does something. Could your neighborhood use a cleanup? Neighborhood cleanups are often sponsored by local businesses or schools. But if your community doesn't have a cleanup program, get together with friends to organize one. You could pick up garbage in a larger area twice a year, or you could clean a smaller area every few months.Include the isolated. Do you know anyone who is housebound? Almost all neighborhoods have a few people who have to stay at their homes. These people are often elderly and unable to leave their homes to perform simple tasks. By letting them "borrow" your legs and eyes, you can make them feel included. You can run errands for them like shopping or paying bills. They might like you to read to them if their eyesight is failing. Governments provide some of the services these people need, but programs cannot give them friendship; that's what communities are for!Reading clubs are popular all over Europe and North America. Members might read at home to prepare for discussion, or they might read aloud to each other and talk about what they just read. Either way, a book or article can spark lively discussion and this often challenges people to take action.A. Cleaning your community will have a positive effect on others in society.B. They find a need or an issue you really care about.C. But they belong to the community, too.D. Living in a clean neighborhood will be its own reward.E. Don't hesitate to take part in the community's activity.F. Round up some readers.二、语法填空阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

(before) (汉译英)3. 他心无旁骛地做作业，没有注意到他爸爸正站在他身后。

(用非限制性定语从句翻译) （汉译英）二、阅读AOne third of adults over 65 in America have never used the Internet, and half don’t even have Internet access at home. In San Francisco, “the center of tech”, 40% of older adults do not have basic digital literacy skills.This situation is becoming appalling as over 10,000 Americans turn 65 every single day. By 2050,22% of Americans will be 65 or older. Meanwhile, technology is developing very fast. This means that a large number of people will be unable to proficiently use emergent technology.Many people believe that seniors aren’t required to participate in our tech future because they’ll be retired and relaxed soon. But this is the farthest thing from the truth. Baby boomers are currently experiencing a different boom: With more people getting older than ever before, their life expediencies are also increasing dramatically. With medical advancements, the number of American people projected to live into their 90’s has doubled since 1965.However, they don’t have strong financial or educational support. This is not a problem; it’s a crisis. More than half of employees over 50 have been laid off in what’s being called ”forced retirement“. And few organizations ar e actively helping older employees make the transition from full-time jobs to part-time ones. For those fortunate enough to be employed, 3 out of 5 older workers experience prejudice.The easiest solution is to teach digital literacy. If baby boomers want to survive the forthcoming retirement crisis, they should get enough digital knowledge and skills to operate today’s tools and tomorrow’s platforms. With every crisis comes an opportunity. Tutoring, customer service, editing, research, book-keeping, and other virtual assistance-based work open the doors. But again, digital knowledge is first required to live in our high-tech society and gig economy. So try to get more online and navigate the growing number of sites and apps.；6. What does the underlined wor d “appalling” probably mean in paragraph2? A．Confusing. B．Terrible. C．Controllable. D．Inspiring.；7. What problem may baby boomers face?A．A crisis after retirement. B．Being knocked out in the future. C．Failing to receive good healthcare. D．Tending to double their life expediencies.；8. What is the last paragraph mainly about?A．The features of high-tech jobs. B．The way out for baby boomers. C．Potential industries in the future. D．The importance of developing technology.；9. What does the author advise baby boomers to do?A．Have a good sense of crisis. B．Avoid retiring at an early age. C．Look for many part-time jobs. D．Improve digital literacy actively.BThe words “protect animals” appear everywhere in books and on screens, because some animals are even in danger of dying out. But sometimes the reality can be a little different from what people read or watch.About 300 black bears were killed in Florida, the US, in October, 2015.It’s been the first bear hunt in the state since 1994.Local officers explained t hat the black bear population（a）had grown to 3,500 and become a menace to local people.In the past two years, bears have hurt at least four people in Florida.Months ago ,the Swiss government allowed the locals to kill a wolf.This was because the wolf killed 38 sheep, and it was a great loss to some local farmers. Days ago in China, three old men were caught by the police for killing a serow（鬣羚）, a kind of protected animal.They said they killed the animal because it ate the plants they grew.However, these stories don’t always mean that animal protection stops because of human interests especially when it is related to economic development.A man named Zhou Weisen set up a wild animal base in Guilin, Guangxi. He saved over 170 tigers and about 300 bears.His base also offered jobs to local people.“There may never be a standard answer to the question of whether we should give more attention to the environment or human development,”said Robert May, a British expert at Oxford University. “But we shouldn’t put ei ther one to one side, as the future is uncertain.”；10. What does the underlined word “menace”in paragraph 2 probably mean? A．Tradition. B．Threat. C．Benefit. D．Relief.；11. Why did the Swiss government allow the locals to kill the wolf?A．The wolf killed a serow.B．The wolf was caught by the police.C．The wolf ate the plants the farmers grew.D．The wolf caused economic loss to local farmers.；12. Why did the author mention Zhou Weisen’s story in paragraph 4?A．To show that animal protection stops.B．To prove animal protection is important.C．To explain protecting animals can bring economic development.D．To stress that animal protection must give way to human interests.；13. Which of the following might Robert May agree with?A．Human interests should be considered first.B．We should focus on the future rather than the present.C．Humans can kill animals when their interests are harmed.D．Keeping the right balance between the environment and human interests is important.三、七选五阅读I love learning foreign languages so much that I learn a new language every two years. When people find I’m a polyglot(通晓多种语言的人)，they always askme,“How do you do that?” Honestly, my answer will be, “I don’t know. I simply love learning languages.” 14 They want to know why they spend years learning even one language, never achieving fluency, and what’s the secret of being polyglots.15 And what do we have in common? I decided to find that out. I went to several events where language lovers gather to practice their languages, asked dozens of polyglots about methods they use, and heard dozens of approaches. Everybody seems to have a unique way to speak several languages fluently.16 All these polyglots talked about language learning as if it was great fun. They found ways to turn language learning from a boring subject into a pleasant daily activity. You should have seen their faces when they were showing me their colorful grammar charts and handmade flash cards. 17 The methods are various, but they make s ure it’s something enjoyable.I realized it’s actually how I learn. 18 Then interesting programs became my choice. So all is clear. If you don’t like writing words down on paper, type them in an app. If you’re a shy person, apply self-talk at home. This is how polyglots learn languages, and the best news is that it’s available to anyone willing to take the learning into their own hands.A．How can those with little talent be fluent?B．But people are never happy with the reply.C．There’s no shortcut t o learning languages for anyone.D．One of them even made recipes in a foreign language.E．That made me wonder, too, how other polyglots actually do it.F．When learning Spanish last year, I was bored with textbooks.G．Polyglots simply found ways to enjoy the language-learning process.四、语法填空Samuel Langhorne Clemens, more commonly 19 (know) as Mark Twain, was born on November 30, 1835 in Florida. Twain is considered 20 greatest author and humorist of the 19th-century American literature (文学).In 1839 the Clemens family moved to Hannibal, Missouri, on the Mississippi River where he was brought 21 . Like many authors of his day he had little formal education. His education came from the print shops and newspaper offices22 he worked as a youth. In 1853 Twain left Hannibal to travel. On a trip to New Orleans he persuaded a riverboat pilot 23 (teach) him his skill. By the spring of 1859 Twain was a licensed riverboat pilot.After a(n) 24 (success) attempt at gold and silver mining he joined the staff of a newspaper in Virginia City, Nevada. He first wrote under the pen name Mark Twain in 1863.He continued to travel as a reporter for various newspapers, and in 1869 his travel letters from Europe 25 (collect) into the popular book The Innocents Abroad. Between 1873 and 1889 he wrote seven novels 26 (include) his Mississippi River books.27 Twain’s life and career progressed he lost much of the humorous style of his earlier years. What was expressed more and more in his later works was 28 human beings are selfish. Even so Twain is best remembered as a great humorist.五、读后续写29. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

A study in 2019 found that the possibility of terrible events like Hurricane Maria hitting Puerto Rico is now almost five times higher due to climate change.The storms were similar in many ways but had their own features. Maria was a Category (类别) 4 hurricane whose speed was up to 155 mph, while Fiona, a Category 1 storm when it landed Puerto Rico, was gentler, with winds of up to 85 mph, which later increased to 115 mph as the storm progressed through the island.And yet, the heavy rain caused by Fiona brought Puerto Rico to its knees. According to the data by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, the slow moving storms brought 15.80 inches of rain over a 5-day period, slightly more than Maria at 14.72 inchesThis confirms another long-held thought that, with climate change, horrible storms will not only become more common but also wetter.That’s because the increase in temperatures is leading to more loss of water from the sea and warmer air can hold more water vapor (水蒸气). The average temperature all over the world has already increased by nearly 1.2℃ due to climate change and for each 1℃ of warming, the air’s ability to hold water is thought to increase by about 7%. The latest research suggests that the increase may be three times higher, at 21%.；4. What was a direct cause of more storms in Puerto RicoA．Loss of forests. B．Puerto Rico’s location.C．Human activity. D．Climate change.；5. Compared with Maria, what’s the feature of Fiona progressing through Puerto RicoA．It brought less rain. B．It moved a bit slower.C．It caused a longer power cut. D．It brought more deaths.；6. What do the figures in the last paragraph showA．Rainfall increases with temperature rising.B．Puerto Rico is a place raining all the time.C．Storms are common in Puerto Rico.D．Slower storms cause more damage.；7. What’s the best title for the textA．Puerto Rico: Survival of PeopleB．Puerto Rico: Frequent FloodsC．Climate Change: Wetter Puerto RicoD．Climate Change: Disasters on Their Way to Puerto RicoCSheneman, a 33-year-old artist, was first diagnosed with diabetes(糖尿病) around five years ago, and she says it was a wake-up call. Since then, health has become a huge part of her life.What she realized while battling this condition, though, is that a lot of people weren’t aware of what she went through on a daily basis. “Which is crazy to think about because there are so many diabetics out there,” she said. So, Sheneman came up with an art project that would offer a deep understanding of what diabetics go through.On April 1, she started her journey, a 470-mile walk, from her college town of Cincinnati, Ohio, and her plan is to make it to her hometown of Memphis, Tennessee, by the end of the month.Throughout this journey, people will be able to watch her glucose(葡萄糖) levels through an app that’s connected to her glucose monitor, the Dexcom G6. The monitor provides real-time alerts when her glucose levels vary too high or low.This journey is more than just showing people how physically difficult this walk is. “I want them to understand what it looks like to be diabetic and constantly checking and making sure that you’re eating the right things,” she said, adding that “just something as simple as stress can raise your blood sugar.”Sheneman was told by health professionals to do something simple, like walking every day. However, Sheneman, who grew up backpacking, wanted to test the limits of what was possible. “I think it’s important to understand that being a diabetic is not necessarily limiting you,” she said. “There’s just the most difficult part that you have to get over.”8. Why did Sheneman start the art projectA．To raise people’s awareness of diabetes. B．To raise money for all the diabetics.C．To advertise for her hometown. D．To get sympathy for herself.9. What should Sheneman pay special attention to during the journey A．The reactions and concerns of others. B．The app connected to the Dexcom G6.C．The variation of her glucose levels. D．The physical difficulty the walk causes.10. Which of the following best describes the life of a diabetic like ShenemanA．Colorful. B．Cautious.C．Artistic. D．Adventurous.11. What message does Sheneman seem to convey in the last paragraph A．Sport helps gain confidence in fighting diseases.B．We don’t have to follow the doctor’s advice.C．Nothing can stop one achieving their goals.D．Our path in life will not always be smooth.二、七选五阅读We know that choosing a college major can be very tough. But have no fear! Your choice of major will not lock you into a specific career for the rest of your life. Here’s what you need to know about college majors before you choose.What is a major12 Beyond general college requirements, you’ll also take a group of courses in a subject of your choosing such as Chemistry, Literature, or Political Science.How important is my majorThe major you choose will neither predict nor guarantee your future. Many graduates find jobs that have nothing to do with what they studied in college. If you intend to earn a professional degree after college, you will probably need certain courses. 13 .When do I choose a majorThis varies widely across schools and programs. 14 . Others require that you decide upon a major by the time that you set foot inside your first class.15Definitely. One of the most exciting aspects of college life is that it introduces you to new subjects and arouses new passions. However,keep this in mind: every major has necessary coursework. If you change your major late in the game, it may take more than the traditional four years to earn a degree.What are minors and double majorsIf one field of study doesn’t satisfy your intellectual appetite, consider a minor. A minor is similar to a major in that it’s an area of academic concentration. 16 A double major provides you with an understanding or two academic fields. It allows you to become familiar with two sets of values and views while it also requires you to fulfill two sets of requirements.A．Can I change my mindB．Is my major time-consumingC．It’s your specialized area of study in college.D．Most students find one major is more than enough.E．Some schools may give you one year or more to decide.F．The only difference is that it doesn’t require as many classes. G．Many future science doctors major in non-science related fields.三、完形填空The year 2020 was a hard year.

Then he looked at me and added, "I asked last night before I went to sleep for God to make sure I had enough money to buy this doll, so that Mommy could give it to my sister． He heard me! I also wanted to have enough money to buy a white rose for my mommy, but I didn't dare to ask God for too much．But he gave me enough to buy the doll and a white rose ! "Then I remembered two days before a local newspaper reported an accident in which a woman and a little girl were badly injured．The little girl died right away, and the mother was left in a critical state．Was this the family of the little boy? Two days after I met the little boy, I read in the newspaper that the woman had passed away．I couldn't stop myself from going to the funeral．Teary-eyed, I felt that my life had been changed forever．36．The boy wanted to buy the doll because ．A．he had always been eager for such a dollB．Santa Claus didn't give him any Christmas giftC．he would give it to his mother as a birthday surpriseD．he wanted to turn his sister's Christmas wish into reality37．We can learn from the story that ．A．the boy's sister died after staying in hospital for two weeksB．the boy's family were all seriously injured in a car accidentC．the author gave the boy some extra money without his noticeD．the boy's mother always wished to receive a white rose on Christmas 38．The story most probably conveys the message that ．A．a kind act can bring joy and hope to othersB．a gift is a perfect way to express love for othersC．losing a family member is a heavy blow to childrenD．a religious belief can help one solve problems in his lifeB"Panopticon" is a place in which everything is in full view of others．A recent New York Times " House and Home" article featured the story of a man who lives in a glass house．Every wall in his home is transparent; he has no walls to hide behind, not even in the bathroom．Of course, he lives in a remote area where he doesn't exactly have neighbors looking in and watching his every move．But he has chosen to live without any physical privacy in a home that allows every action to be seen．He has created his own panopticon of sorts．The term panopticon was coined by Jeremy Bentham in the late eighteenth century when he was describing an idea for how prisons should be designed．The prisoners' cells would be placed in a circle with a guard tower in the middle．All walls facing the center of the circle would be glass．In that way, every prisoner's cell would be in full view of the guards．The prisoners could do nothing unobserved, but the prisoners would not be able to see the guard tower．They would know they were being watched - or rather, they would know that they could be being watched－but because they could not see the observer, they would never know when the guard was actually monitoring their actions．Similarly, it is common that people behave differently when they know they are being watched．We act differently when we know someone is looking; we act differently when we think someone else might be looking．In these situations, we are less likely to be ourselves; instead, we will act the way we think we should act when we are being observed by others．In our wired society, many talk of the panopticon as a metaphor （隐喻） for the future．But in many ways, the panopticon is already here．Monitoring cameras are everywhere, and we often don't even know our actions are being recorded．In addition, we leave a record of everything we do online．And most of us have no idea just how much information about us has been recorded and how much data is available to various sources．We can do little to stop the information gathering and exchange and can only hope to be able to control the damage if something goes wrong．39．According to the passage, a panopticon is ．A．a prison cellB．a house that is transparentC．a tower that provides a broad viewD．a place where everything can be seen by others40．From Paragraph 3, we learn that panopticon ．A．is not applicable outside the prisonB．is used everywhere in public placesC．is an effective tool to control prisonersD．is an effective tool to share information．41．Why does the author say that panopticon is already here?A．Because our privacy is completely transparent．B．Because we are all prisoners m our own homes．C．Because our actions are observed and recorded in many cases．D．Because we are always afraid that someone might be watching us42．A key difference between prison panopticon and panopticon in our daily life is that ．A．prisoners can see their observers, but we can'tB．prisoners know that they may be being watched, but we often don'tC．prisoners are more protected in their panopticon than we are in oursD．prisoners are less observed about privacy issues than technology usersCI want to talk about the economy．Not "the economy" we hear about endlessly in the news each day and in politicians' speeches．I want to talk about the real economy, the one we live in day by day．Most people aren't particularly interested in "the economy"．"Share prices are flying high; interest rates are soaring; the Dow Jones Index closed sixty-three points down on 8472．35．" We hear this and subconsciously switch off．Notice that "the economy" is not the same as the economy, "The economy" is what men in suits play with to make vast personal wealth．The economy is where the rest of us live on a daily basis, earning our living, paying our taxes, and purchasing the necessities of life．We are supposed to be benefiting from all the advantages of a well-off society．So why do we feel tired and stressed? We have no time for anything other than work, which is ridiculous given the number of labor-saving devices in our lives．Our towns become more and more crowded．We poison our air and seas, and our food is full of chemicals．There's something wrong here．If times were truly good, then you may think we'd all feel optimistic about the future．Yet the majority of us are deeply worried．More than 90 percent of us think we are too concerned about ourselves and not concerned enough about future generations．The term "economic expansion" suggests something desirable, but expansion simply means spending more money．More spending doesn't mean that life is getting better．We all know it often means the opposite - greed, crime, poverty, pollution．More spending merely feeds our whole economic system, which is based on production and consumption．Unless money keeps circulating, the economy breaks down．If we don't keep consuming, the whole system goes into stalemate（僵局）．How do we break the cycle and make some changes? We need to become far more aware of the results of our actions．We buy clothes that are made in sweat shops by virtual slaves in poor parts of the world．We create mountains of waste．We demand cheap food, mindless of the fact that it totally lacks taste and is produced using chemicals that poison the land．The consumption culture makes us unaware of the effect of our own behavior．Our main problem is not that we don't know what to do about it．It is gathering the desire to do it．43．According to the author, which one belongs to the real economy?A．The Dow Jones Index．B．Increases in interest rates．C．Skyrocketing share prices．D．Shopping in a supermarket．44．It can be concluded from Paragraph 4 that ．A．people are benefiting from a well-off societyB．the future generation is a big concern for most peopleC．the majority of people are optimistic about the futureD．people still feel much pressure despite labor-saving devices45．What is true about economic expansion?A．It guarantees a better life for us．B．It may lead to some social problems．C．It will stop the circulation of money．D．It has only brought desirable effects．46．The author writes the passage mainly to ．A．call on us to change our behaviorB．suggest a solution for over-consumptionC．make a distinction between two economiesD．inform us of the effects of economic expansionDYou Are What You EatGenetic（基因的）engineering is the scientific change of the genetic material in a living organism． It allows scientists to identify specific genes, to remove them from an organism's chromosomes （染色体）, improve them, analyze them, and possibly clone them, and to then reinsert the changed gene into the original organism, or a completely different organism．Unlike traditional breeding （繁殖）, where a desired quality would be bred within the same species, genetic engineering can insert desired ones into organisms of different species．Wow…Did you catch that?Genetic engineering creates many positive contributions to agriculture． For example, by genetically engineered（GE） foods, anti-cancer agents, minerals and vitamins can be increased．Improved taste, shelf life, and better transport are all possible．Also, GE plants can increase pest and bacterial resistance, therefore, making the food safe for consumers．But some argue that the possible negative effects outweigh the positives, and critics are starting to voice their concerns． Unlike Europe, in the United States labeling is not required on genetically engineered foods or on foods that contain genetically engineered products． Most Americans do not realize that they are, in fact, eating GE foods．The public is also concerned about the unknown health risks．With limited understanding of genes, scientists cannot predict possible effects．Because most genes introduced into GE plants come from sources not introduced into the human body, it is impossible to know if they will cause reactions． Moreover, due to the lack of labeling if allergies develop, it will be extremely difficult to find the origin of them．There is also a major moral question in many minds．For many, the conflict is not if it is safe or not, but it disturbs them because it is unnatural andunnecessary．We are currently producing one and a half times the amount of food needed to feed the world, yet one in seven people are starving．GE food is unnecessary, and fails to address the root of hunger． Many believe that the only people who will benefit are the corporations that produce it．Scientists cannot foresee t．he possible effects of GE foods, yet we eat them every day without even knowing it．We already have enough food, so why create more that could be potentially harmful to us, to the Earth and to all wildlife? I think that the benefits are amazing, but until we know for sure how these foods will affect us, they are not worth the risk．47．According to the passage, traditional breeding is different from genetic engineering in that ．A．traditional breeding changes the genes in the same speciesB．traditional breeding changes the genes in different speciesC．traditional breeding takes place within the same speciesD．traditional breeding is more scientific48．"The lack of labeling" in Paragraph 4 indicates ．A．information concerning gene sources is unavailable to customersB．it is currently possible to find the origins of some allergiesC．scientists try to hide potential dangers from customersD．the US government is responsible for GE food49．According to Paragraph 5, GE food is unnecessary because ．A．it won't help solve the problem of hunger in the worldB．there are potential dangers in producing GE foodC．we're now producing more food than beforeD．customers will benefit from GE food50．What is the author's attitude towards genetic engineering?A．Welcoming．B．Disapproving．C．Unconcerned． D．Optimistic．四、任务型阅读When difficult people express themselves orally, they generally want at least two things: they’ve been heard and they’ve been understood. Should you be a good listener, five steps are advocated toward good listening.The first step is cooperating. How does a difficult person know that you’re listening and understanding? In fact, it’s through the way you look and sound while he is talking. You may help him to fully express his thought and feelings. You do this by nodding your head in agreement, making certain sounds of understanding.When the person begins to repeat what’s been said, it’s signal of step two: turning back. It means that you repeat back some words he is using, sending a clear signal that you’re listening carefully and that you think what he is saying is important.Having heard what he has to say, the next step is clarifying. At this point, you start to gather information about what is being communicated. Ask some open-ended questions, which will allow you to figure out what intention he is hoping to satisfy.The fourth step is to summarize what you’ve heard. This allows you to make sure that both you and the difficult person are on the same page. When you do this, twothings happen. First, if you’re missed something, he can fill in the details. Second, you’ve shown that you’re making an effort to understand completely. This increases the possibility of gaining cooperation from him.Havin g listened carefully, you’ve now arrived at the point of confirming with the person that he feels satisfied that his thoughts have been fully voiced. Ask if he feels understood.When enough sincere listening, questioning, and remembering are brought together, Understanding is usually achieved and a difficult person becomes less difficult and more cooperative.1-5 DACCB 6-10 DCCDB 11-15 BAADB16-20 ABCDA 21-25 DCBCD 26-30 BABCD 31-35 CADBA36-40 DCADC 41-45 CBDDB 46-50 ACAAB51.

高三英语晚自习限时练习
高三英语晚自习限时练习一、阅读理解（本大题共3小题）AIf you are planning a tour to France, September is one of the best choices. Not only will you get to enjoy plenty of sunshine and warm weather, but the tourist season is beginning to wind down-which means cheaper airfares, lower prices at hotels, and fewer crowds. If this is your first trip to France , here is some handy information to help you!Visiting MuseumsMany museums in France have extended opening hours during the summer to adapt to the extra tourists from home and abroad, and some museums also have extended opening hours into September. Wandering around the Louvre（卢浮宫）will take you into a wonder world, where you can enjoy world- famous art. Going out of the Louvre, you can walk to the modem and fashionable Chumps Elysees to do some shopping.Taking a Cruise（乘船游览）The temperatures are slightly lower, but plenty of sunshine makes for perfect conditions to enjoy a barge cruise on the canals of France. Willi such comfortable weather and beautiful scenery at this time of year, nothing equals hanging out on the deck of a barge.Wine TastingSeptember is the beginning of the grape harvest season in France meaning there are plenty of wine- related events and festivals around the country. So September is a great time to visit the vineyards(葡萄园） around the country and go wine tasting. The Bordeaux, Loire and Burgundy regions are all lovely and great places to visit vineyards. Besides that, going to the castles of the Loire region between visiting vineyards on such warm and sunny days is also very enjoyable.Besides the above, riding a bike through France's villages is also a welcome activity for young visitors in September. So, don't hesitate and start to plan your September trip to France now.1. When do many French museums extend their opening hours?A．In Jan. & Feb.. B．In Apr. & May .C．In Aug. & Sep.. D．In Nov. & Dec..2. Where should you go if you want to visit both vineyards and castles?A．Bordeaux. B．Loire. C．Burgundy. D．Champs Ely sees.3. How do you like France in September?A．Warm but crowded. B．Cool but much noisy.C．Cold and less noisy. D．Sunny and less crowded.BAlice Roosevelt Longworth was the daughter of one of America’s most beloved presidents, Theodore Roosevelt. She was also a writer who was famous for giving high-society parties and being one of Washington, DC’s biggest gossips. On the sofa in herliving room, there was an embroidered cushion (绣花靠垫) which read, “If you can’t say anythi ng nice about someone, come sit next to me.”If Alice were still alive today (she died in 1980 at the age of 96), she would feelright at home with modern social media... at least the worst parts of it. Platforms such as WeChat and Weibo have become places where Internet troll and bullies hang around, spreading gossip and insults(侮辱), and causing real harm to people, especially young people. This phenomenon of social media bullying (cyberbullying) is a worldwide problem. In February, United Nations Internat ional Children’s Emergency Fund (UNICEF) declared a special day, Safer Internet Day, to raise awareness of the problem and to discuss ways to solve it. According to the organization, as many as 20 percent of young people say that they have been bullied online. And the effects of this bullying can be destructive, leading to lower grades, lower self-esteem, depression and even suicide. UNICEF’s Henrietta Fore says that the Internet has become “a kindness desert”.Closer to home, a study of Chinese high school students found that 58 percent had been bullied, and 38 percent had bullied someone either at school or on the Internet. “They spread rumors about you or defame you in order to isolate or marginalize(排斥) you,” says psychologist Zhou Zhonghui. “It is hard for people that age to bear, and it makes them depressed.”There are laws in China against cyberbullying, and offenders can be fined and have their accounts shut down. In fact, everyone can take steps to stop the bullying. First, don’t be silent. If you are being bullied, don’t hesitate to tell your parents and teachers. Second, think before you post. Is your comment kind or hurtful? Would you like someone to say the same thing about you? Would you like your mother to read your comment? Alice Roosevelt Long worth’s cushion was a humorous re-working of an old piece of wisdom: If you can’t say anything nice about someone, don’t say anything at all. By following that wisdom, you can make flowers bloom in the “kindness desert”.；4. By mentioning Alice Roosevelt Longworth in the first paragraph, the author intendsto .A．compare her to her fatherB．present the topic of cyberbullyingC．describe her achievementsD．recognize her way of life；5. What is Henrietta Fore’s tone when he discusses the Internet?A．Positive. B．Doubtful. C．Objective. D．Critical.；6. Which of the following is WRONG according to the passage?A．A majority of Chinese high school students have bullied others.B．Cyberbullying caused great harm to teenagers.C．Cyberbullying is no longer unique to Chinese students.D．A number of Chinese high school students feel depressed.；7. Which of the following has NOT been mentioned in the passage?A．The victims of cyberbullying.B．The solutions to cyberbullying.C．The consequences of cyberbullying.D．The causes of cyberbullying.CNatural silence — the kind when you hear nothing but the sound of nature around you — is becoming increasingly scarce. The noise of man-made can be heard even in the remote corners of national parks and deep in the Arctic Ocean.This is having some troubling effects. In humans, noise pollution has been linked to physical, mental health problems and cognitive impairment (认知功能障碍) in children. In wildlife,it’s disturbing navigation, pairing, communication and can cause hearing loss. “We’re losing the ability to listen to nature without noise pollution,” says sound recordist Matt Mikkelsen. He’s part of the non-profit organization Quiet Parks International, which aims to identify and preserve the planet’s last quiet places.Recently, this took him to Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness in northeastern Minnesota. No cars, motor boats, electricity or telephone lines are allowed in the one-million-acre area,making it a strong candidate for Quiet Park status. But listening back to the recording, Mikkelsen can hear the low hum (嗡鸣声) of a commercial plane flying far away.Quiet Parks hasn’t yet decided if Boundary Waters meets its criteria —it’s one of 260 potential sites around the world that the organization is currently exploring. The te am will analyze the sound recordings from each location and consider them alongside other data.In recent years, the world has been getting louder, with cities and towns expanding and an increasing number of noises from cars, airplanes or ships. But during the COVID-19 pandemic (流行病), there has been momentary delay.In2020,global air travel was down by 60% and road transport decreased by almost half. Scientists in Europe found that noise caused by humans fell by up to 50% after lock downs were carried out.“People enjoyed the silence,” says Mikkelsen. “There were no airplanes in the sky and cars weren’t on the street. It was an incredible thing to be able to hear the world, all of a sudden, free from noise pollution,” he says. Since the start of the pandemic, Quiet Parks says it has experienced a huge increase in interest for quiet places. “I hope that we can take that desire for a world with less noise forward,” says Mikkelsen, “and appreciate the spots we have, where we can go and not experience noise pollut ion.”；8. What does the underlined word “scarce” probably mean in paragraph 1?A．Special. B．Rare. C．Common. D．Typical.；9. What is paragraph 2 mainly about?A．Causes of hearing loss.B．Tips on protecting the nature.C．Harmful effects of noise pollution.D．Unidentified problems from human beings.；10. What will Matt Mikkelsen’s team analyse according to the text?A．The sound recordings. B．Global air travels.C．Quiet Parks’ criteria.D．Data of the pandemic.；11. Where is the text probably taken from?A．A book review. B．A travel guide.C．A business plan. D．A science report.二、七选五阅读How to learn Wing Chun(咏春)Wing Chun is a style of kung fu that emphasizes close fighting, quick punches(击拳)and tight defense to overcome opponents.

But some are moving into their own places as social norms (规范) develop.When Alan, a civil servant willing to challenge and reform this conventional stereotype (陈规), decided to move out of his family home in Singapore, it still took the 27-year-old a month to talk about the topic with his parents. He feared they wouldn’t understand. After all, Alan’s home was a pleasant place. The family’s three-bedroom condominium (公寓) wasn’t far from the city-state’s central business district. There was homemade dinner on the table each night, and his laundry was always donefor him. “There wasn’t a push factor, just pull factors,” he says. “I’d lived with my parents my whole life, so I just wanted to experience what it’s like being by myself, you know?”In the West, leaving home is just another milestone in adulthood. Yet in most Asian societies, things are different. Culturally, moving out is sometimes considered as showing disrespect to your parents, which makes it even challenging and praiseworthy. In Singapore, living at home until marriage is a common practice; an estimated 97% of unmarried individuals lived with their parents in 2013.While the trend is in part driven by deep-rooted ideas of filial piety (孝道), it’s also linked to government policies on accommodation for young people. Most Singaporeans live in public housing units, apartments funded by the state that are known as HDBs. About 90% of those who live in HDBs own their home.Those who can’t buy HDBs can rent via the private property market — but costs are much higher. “These cost restrictions,” says Dr Chua, a professor of sociology, “effectively keep most young, unmarried people living at home with their parents.”Yet Alan, who now rents a flat in Hougang with two friends from junior college, is among the courageous young pioneers resisting the long-time cultural norm. These commendable young people are deciding that the price of the freedom to organize their own life is worth it and stepping out of their home.；4. What can we know from the second and third paragraphs?A．The East and the West are very different in most aspects.B．Alan decided to live separately mainly due to some objective reasons.C．The majority of single young people followed social customs in living in 2013. D．In the East, it is culturally acceptable for the young to live separately from the elderly.；5. What mainly causes most single young people to live with their parents in Singapore?A．Their parents’ expectations.B．Their personal wish.C．The home environment. D．The traditional culture and housing prices.；6. What is the author’s attitude towards the young Singaporeans like Alan moving out? A．Confused. B．Positive. C．Indifferent. D．Doubtful.；7. What is the best title for the text?A．Young Singaporeans’ Relationship with Their ParentsB．Young Singaporeans Fighting Against Old Social CustomsC．Young Singaporeans Striking Out Their Way to IndependenceD．Young Singaporeans’ New Way to Solve High Housing PricesCEradajere Oleita thinks she may have a partial solution for two of our country’s continuous problems: garbage and poverty. It’s called the Chip Bag Project. The 26-year-old student and environmentalist from Detroit is asking a favor of local snacklovers: Rather than throw your empty chip bags into the trash, donate them so she can turn them into sleeping bags for the homeless.Chip eaters drop off their empty bags from Doritos, Lay’s, and other favorites at two locations in Detroit: a print shop and a clothing store, wher e Oleita and her volunteer helpers collect them. After they clean the chip bags in soapy hot water, they cut them open, lay them flat, and iron them together. They use materials from old coats to line the insides. It takes about four hours to make a sleepi ng bag, and each takes around 150 to 300 chip bags, depending on whether they’re single-serve or family size. The result is a sleeping bag that is “not allowed water to enter, not heavy, and not difficult to carry around,” Oleita said. Since its start in 2020, the Chip Bag Project has collected more than 800, 000 chip bags and created 110 sleeping bags since last December.Sure, it would be simpler to raise the money to buy new sleeping bags. But that’s only half the goal for Oleita — whose family moved to the United States from Nigeria a decade ago with the hope of achieving a better life－and her fellow volunteers. “We are devoted to making an impact not only socially, but environmentally,” she says.And, of course, there’s the symbolism of saving bags that would otherwise land in the trash and using them to help the homeless. It’s a powerful reminder that environmental injustice and poverty often go hand in hand. As Oleita stated, “I think it’s time to show connections between all of these issues.”8. What’s the aim of the Chip Bag Project?A．To draw the snack lover’s attention to the homeless.B．To change the chip bags into sleeping bags for the homeless.C．To recycle the garbage to remove the poverty for the country.D．To help solve the environmental pollution caused by chip bags.9. What can we learn from Para. 2?A．Chip eaters can place the empty bags wherever they want.B．Eradajere Oleita collects the empty chip bags independently.C．The sleeping bags are tough but not easy to carry around.D．The procedure of making a sleeping bag needs masses of chip bags.10. What does the words mean by Oleita in Para. 3?A．The environmental issues should be stressed.B．Poverty should be lifted out of the homeless.C．The Chip Bag Project will impact the society and environment.D．The Chip Bag Project will be devoted to achieving a better life.11. What can be inferred from the text?A．Chip bags are always used to help the homeless.B．Chip bags are only useful in addressing the environmental problems.C．The issues of environment and poverty will be stressed in the future. D．Environmental injustice and poverty are disconnected with each other.二、七选五阅读It is very important to keep fit and stay healthy. A lot of people fail to believethe good that daily exercise does to health and only begin to do so when they suffer from health problems. 12Regular(经常的)exercise helps you keep in good shape. Maybe, you are one ofthe many overweight people struggling with problems of body shape, yet you do not want to do anything about that. Sometimes you see very nice clothes, but they don’tfit you because of your body size. 13Doing exercise keeps you thinking quickly at all times. It’s a perfect way of developing the strength of your mind. 14 Besides, there is a reason why most athletes are usually happy. The release(释放)of dopamine (多巴胺) when doing exercise changes their feelings for the better. 15 Run around the blocks each morning, jog or lift weights and see how much good doing exercise does to your m ind.The good of doing exercise every day is endless, but a lot of people pay no attention to it and finally develop lifestyle-related illnesses later in life. So taking exercise is very important and some of the results of not taking exercise are very serious.16 Having fitness goals that mean something to you will help you keep a strict fitness schedule and achieve the result you want. Besides, using fitness trackers, you can monitor your general physical activity and find out whether you have mad e progress.A．Then why is it important to stay fit?B．How can you drive yourself to exercise?C．Setting high goals for exercise is very important.D．Everyone hopes to live a relaxing and comfortable life.E．So keeping your body active improves the work of your brain.F．Fitness exercise will help you lose extra fat and be in great shape.G．Maybe not having enough exercise is the reason for your easy anger.三、完型填空I have a friend named Monty Roberts who owns a horse ranch (牧场). He has let me use his 17 to raise money for poor students. 18 I was there he introduced me by saying, “I want to tell you why I let Jack use my house. It all goes back to a story about a boy who was the son of a poor horse trainer.”One day the boy was 19 to write a paper about what he wanted to do whenhe grew up. He wrote a paper describing his 20 of someday owning a horse ranch. Two days later he 21 his paper back. On the front page was a large red “F” with a note 22 , “See me after class.”The boy went to see the teacher after class and asked, “Why did I receive an F?” The teacher said, “This is a(n) 23 dream for a young boy like you. You have no coins. Owning a horse ranch requires a lot of money.” Then the teac her added, “Ifyou 24 rewrite this paper with a more realistic goal, I will 25 your grade.” The boy went home and thought about it long and hard. Finally, the boy 26 thesame paper, making no 27 at all. He said, “You can keep the F and I’ll keep my 28 .”Having told the story, Monty said, “I tell you this story 29 you are sitting on my 200-acre horse ranch. I still have that school paper 30 over the fireplace.” He added, “The best part of the story is t hat the same teacher brought 30 kids to camp out on my ranch for a week.”When the teacher was leaving, he said, “Look, Monty, I can tell you this now. When I was your teacher, I was something of a dream 31 . Fortunately you had enough determination not to give up.” Don’t let anyone steal your dreams. Follow your heart, no matter what happens.17.

He came up with a new indoor game.Naismith studied games being played at that 25 . he found that the most 26 game was a ball. So a ball would be part of his new game, he decided.

(possible) of a better world in the future and promising sunshine after the rain.第三节：阅读理解（时间：21分钟）ADaban town is famous for girls and windmills , while Loulan is a myth(神话) in the desert. Two thousand years ago, beside the beautiful and rich Loubu Lake, there lay Loulan ancient city of the Silk Raod. Businessmen from every country gathered and there were dancing parties. Everything shows that people in Loulan lived a rich life then.However, two thousand years later, this rich land suddenly disappeared from the map of China. It became an area covered with sand and dead tree trunks.Loulan was fi rst“discovered” by a Swedish man named Sven Hedin in 1900. People from America, British , Japan and Sweden, all set foot here. Then in the 1930’s, a Chinese man named Huang Wenbi came to Loulan for the first time. He visited and studied this area and found many relics that were beautifully and carefully made.It is recorded that the ancient city of Loulan was the capital of the Loulan Kingdom during the Han and Jin Dynasties, and covered an area of some 100,000 sq. metres. Inside the city , there are the ruins of government offices, temples and other old buildings. Outside the city there are some dried-up rivers and much farmland. In the past century, many things have been dug up there including Han Dynasty coins, mirrors and many others of Greek and Roman times. All these things show that a lot of business between the East and West once took place there.Lying on the northwest of the Lop Nur area, the Loulan Kingdom is now a lifeless area with endless “forests” of mounds( 小丘) which aren’t easily seen in other parts of the world. Its mystery has been attracting many people from many countries.41.The first person to set foot in Loulan in the 20th century was______.A. a EuropeanB. an AmericanC. an EnglishmanD. a Japanese42.Before Loulan disappeared, ________.A. people from America and Japan had set foot there.B. much business between the East and West had taken place there.C. a lifeless area with lots of mounds could easily be seen thereD. there were no government offices or temples43. We can infer from the passage that_______.A. Loulan was destroyed by the terrible weather thereB. wars between Dynasties made Loulan disappearC. foreigners came to Loulan and destroyed itD. how Loulan disappeared is still unknown to us44. What makes so many people visit the Loulan Kingdom now?A. Its beautiful scenery .B. Its developing business.C. Its mystery.D. The treasures.45. The title for this passage might be_______.A. Famous Town, DabanB. Ancient Town in the DesertC. Business in Ancient LoulanD. Cities in Ancient ChinaBIn the United States, friendships can be close, constant, intense, generous, and real, yet fade away in a short time if circumstances change. Neither side feels hurt by this. Both may exchangeChristmas greetings for a year or two, perhaps a few letters for a while — then no more. If the same two people meet again by chance even years later, they pick up the friendship where it left off and are delighted.In the S tates, you can feel free to visit people’s homes, share their holidays, enjoy their children and their lives without fearing that you are taking on a lasting obligation. Do not hesitate to accept hospitality because you cannot give it in return. No one will expect you to do so for they know you are far from home. Americans will enjoy welcoming you and be pleased if you accept their hospitality easily.Once you arrive there, the welcome will be full and warm and real. Most visitors find themselves readily invited into many homes there. In some countries it is considered inhospitable to entertain at home, offering what is felt as “merely” home cooked food, not " doing something" for your guest. It is felt that restaurant entertaining shows more respect and welcome. Or for various other reasons, such as crowded space, language difficulties, or family customs, outsiders are not invited into homes.In the United States, both methods are used, but it is often considered more friendly to invite a person to one’s ho me than to go to a public place, except in purely business relationships. So, if your host or hostess brings you home, do not feel that you are being shown inferior(次等的) treatment.Don’t feel neglected if you do not find flowers awaiting you in your hotel room either. Flowers are very expensive there, and hotel delivery is uncertain that the arrival times are delayed, changed, or canceled—so flowers are not customarily sent as a welcoming touch. Please do not feel unwanted. Outward signs vary in different lands; the inward welcome is what matters, and this will be real.46. In the United States, you will find friendships if circumstances change.A. die suddenlyB. pass awayC. disappear graduallyD. last forever47. Americans their foreign friends to make a return for their-hospitality.A. askB. wishC. never allowD. don't expect48. In some other countries, giving a dinner party at home is considered than in a restaurant.A. less friendlyB. less hospitableC. more naturalD. more popular49. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true?A. Flowers are available at all times.B. Flowers are expensive.C. Flowers are signs of outward welcome.D.Flowers are not necessarily sent to guests.50. Which of the following is the best title for this passage?A. American Hospitality.B. American Friendship.C. American Invitation.D. American Welcome.CVacations are a chance to take a break from work, see the world and enjoy time with family. But do they make you happier?Researchers from the Netherlands set out to measure the effect that vacations have on overall happiness and how long it lasts. They studied happiness levels among 1,530 Dutch adults, 974 of whom took a vacation during the 32-week study period. The study showed that the largest lift in happiness comes from the simple act of planning a vacation. In the study, the effect of vacation anticipation lifted happiness for eight weeks.After the vacation, happiness quickly dropped back to baseline levels for most people. How much stress or relaxation a traveler experienced on the trip appeared to influence post-vacation happiness. There was no post-trip happiness benefit for travelers who said th e vacation was “neutral” or stressful.”Surprisingly, even those travelers who described the trip as “relaxing” showed no additional jump in happiness after the trip. “They were no happier than people who had not been on holiday,” said the lead author, Jeroen Nawijn, tourism research lecturer at Breda University. The only vacationers who experienced an increase in happiness after the trip were those who reported feeling “very relaxed” on their vacation. Among those people, the vacation happiness effect last ed for just two weeks after the trip before returning to baseline levels.One reason vacations don’t increase happiness after the trip may have to do with the stress of returning to work.
