This population consists of birds,bats frogs,snakes,etc. For example,outdoor lighting severely affects migrating(迁徙的)birds.According to the International Dark-Sky Association. “100 million birds a year throughout North America die in crashes with lighted buildings and towers.”Countless more animals casualties(伤亡）result from the use of artificial lighting.Clearly,people enjoy the benefits of lighting their evenings,but some scientists think it can be harmful for humans,too. They worry that exposure to light while sleeping can increase person’s chances of getting cancer.Emerald Valley is only one community that is becoming aware of the negative effects of light pollution.For years,Flagstaff,Arizona,has enforced lighting regulations in its city in order to assist astronomers at the Lowell Observatory.Similar efforts have been made worldwide,and a movement is underway to remind us to turn off lights when we are not using them,so that- 3 -other creatures can share the night.41.It happened last night thatA.the city’s lights affected the meteor watchingB.the meteors flew past before being noticedC.the city light show attracted many peopleD.the meteor watching ended up a social outing42.What do the astronomers complain about?A.Meteor showers occur less often than beforeB.Their observation equipment is in poor repairC.Light pollution has remained unsolved for yearsD.Their eyesight is failing due to artificial lighting43.What the author concerned about according to Paragraph 4?A.Birds may take other migration pathsB.Animal’living habits may change suddenlyC.Varieties of animals will become sharply reducedD.Animals’survival is threatened by outdoor lighting44.Lighting regulations in Flagstaff,Arizona are put into effect toA.Lessen the chance of getting cancerB.create an ideal observation conditionC.ensure citizens a good sleep at nightD.enable all creatures to live in harmony45.What message does the author most want to give us?A.Saving wildlife is saving ourselvesB.Great efforts should be made to save energyC.Human activities should be environmentally friendlyD.New equipment should be introduced for space studyC.Poet William Stafford once said that we are defined more by the detours(绕行路)in life that by the narrow road toward goals.I like this image.But It was quite by accident that I discovered the deep meaning of his words.For years we made the long drive from our home in Seattle to my parents’home in Boise in nine hours.We traveled the way most people do:the fastest,shortest easiest road,especially when I was alone with four noisy,restless kids who hates confinement(限制)and have strong opinions about everything.Road trips felt risky,so I would drive fast,stopping only when I had to.We would stick to the freeways and arrive tired.But then Banner,our lamb was born.He was rejected by his mama days before our planned trip to Boise.I had two choices:leave Banner with my husband,or take him with me.My husband made the decision for me.That is how I found my self on the road with four kids,a baby lamb and nothing but my everlasting optimism to see me through.We took the country roads out of necessity.We had to stop every hour,let Banner shake out his legs and feed him.The kids chased him and one another.They’d get back in the car breathless and energized,smelling fresh from the cold air.We explored side roads,catching grasshoppers in waist-high grass.Even if we simply looked out of the car windows at baby pigs following their mother,or fish leaping out of the water,it was better than the best ride down the freeway. Here was life.And new horizons(见识).We eventually arrived at my parents’doorstep astonishingly fresh and full of stories.I grew brave with the trip back home and creative with my discipliningtechnique.On an empty section of road,everyone started quarreling.I stopped the car,ordered all kids out and told them to meet me up ahead.I parked my car half a mile away and read my book in sweet silence.Some road trips are by necessity fast and straight.But that trip with Banner opened our eyes to a world available to anyone adventurous enough to wander around and made me realize that a detour may uncover the best part of a journey----and the best part of yourself.46.Why did the author use to take freeways to her parents’home?A.It was less time- 4 -B.It would be faster and saferC.Her kids would feel less confinedD.She felt better with other drivers nearby47.The author stopped regularly on the country roads toA.relax in the fresh airB.take a dep breathC.take care of the lambD.let the kids play with Banner48.What does the author discover from the trip according to Paragraph 6?A.Freeways are where beauty hides.B.Getting close to nature adds to the joy of lifeC.Enjoying the beauty of nature benefits one’s healthD.One should follow side roads to watch wild animals49.Why did the author ask the kids to get out of the car on their way back home?A.To give herself some time to readB.To order some food for themC.To play a game with them.D.To let them cool down50.What could be the best title for the passage?A.Charm of the DetourB.The Road to BraveryC.Creativity out of NecessityD.Road trip and Country LifeD.When asked about happiness,we usually think of something extraordinary, an absolute delight,which seems to get rarer the older we get.For kids,happiness has a magical quality.Their delight at winning a race or getting a new bike is unreserved(毫不掩饰的).In the teenage years the concept of happiness changes.Suddenly it’s conditional on such things as excitement,love and popularity.I can still recall the excitement of being invited to dance with the most attractive boy at the school party.In adulthood the things that bring deep joy----love,marriage,birth----also bring responsibility and the risk of loss.For adults,happiness is complicated(复杂的)My definition of happiness is “the capacity for enjoyment”.The more we can enjoy what we have,the happier we are.It’s easy to overlook the pleasure we get from the company of friends,the freedom to live where we please,and even good health.I experienced my little moments of pleasure yesterday.First I was overjoyed when I shut the last lunch-box and had the house to myself.Then I spent an uninterrupted morning writing,which I love.When the kids and my husband came home,I enjoyed their noise after the quiet of the day. Psychologists tell us that to be happy we need a mix of enjoyable leisure time and satisfying work.I don’t think that my grandmother,who raised 14 children,had much of either.She did have a network of close friends and family,and maybe this is what satisfied her.We,however,with so many choices and such pressure to succeed in every area,have turned happiness into one more thing we’ve got to have.We’ve so self-conscious about our “right”to it that it’s making us miserable.So we chase it and equal it with wealth and success,without noticing that the people who have those things aren’t necessarily happierHappiness isn’t about what happens to us----it’s about how we see what happens to us.It’s the skillful way of finding a positive for every negative.It’s not wishing for what we don’t have,but enjoying what we do possess.51.As people grow older,they___________.A.feel it harder to experience happinessB.associate their happiness less with others- 5 -C.will take fewer risks in pursuing happinessD.tend to believe responsibility means happiness52.What can we learn about the author from Paragraph 5 and 6?A.She cares little about her own healthB.She enjoys the freedom of travelingC.She is easily pleased by things in daily lifeD.She prefers getting pleasure from housework53.What can b inferred from Paragraph 7?A.Psychologists think satisfying work is key to happinessB.Psychologists’opinion is well proved by Grandma’caseC.Grandma often found time for social gatheringsD.Grandma’s happiness came from modest expectations of life54.People who equal happiness with wealth and success_____________.A.consider pressure something blocking their wayB.stress the right to happiness too muchC.are at a loss to make correct choicesD.are more likely to be happy55.What can be concluded from the passage?A.Happiness lies between the positive and the negativeB.Each man is the master of his own fateC.Success leads to happinessD.Happy is he who is content参考答案一、单选 1-15 BABDC BCAAD ACDBD二、完形16-35 CDABA BCDBA CDCBAABACD三、阅读36-55 ABCDD ACDBC BCBDAACDBD- 6 -。

Suddenly it’s conditional on such things as excitement, love and popularity. I can still recall the excitement of being invited to dance with the most attractive boy at the school party.In adulthood the things that bring deep joy----love, marriage, birth----also bring responsibility and the risk of loss. For adults, happiness is complicated（复杂的）My definition to happiness is “the capacity for enjoyment”. The more we can enjoy what we have, the happier we are. It’s easy to overlook the pleasure we get from the company of friends, the freedom to live where we please, and even good health.I experienced my little moments of pleasure yesterday. First I was overjoyed when I shut the last lunch-box and had the house to myself. Then I spent an uninterrupted morning writing, which I love. When the kids and my husband came home, I enjoyed their noise after the quiet of the day. Psychologists tell us that to be happy we need a mix of enjoyable leisure time and satisfying work.I don’t think that my grandmother, who raised 14 children, had much of either. She did have a network of close friends and family, and maybe this is what satisfied her.We, however, with so many choices and such pressure to succeed in every area, have turned happiness into one more thing we’ve got to have. We’ve so self-conscious about our “right” to it that it’s making us miserable. So we chase it and equal it with wealth and success, without noticing that the people who have those things aren’t necessarily happierHappiness isn’t about what happens to us----it’s about how we see what happens to us. It’s the skillful way of finding a positive for every negative. It’s not wishing for what we don’t have, but enjoying what we do possess.51. As people grow older, they_____________A. feel it harder to experience happinessB. associate their happiness less with othersC. will take fewer risks in pursuing happinessD. tend to believe responsibility means happiness52. What can we learn about the author from Paragraph 5 and 6?A. She cares little about her own healthB. She enjoys the freedom of travelingC. She is easily pleased by things in daily lifeD. She prefers getting pleasure from housework53. What can be inferred from Paragraph 7?A. Psychologists think satisfying work is key to happinessB. Psychologists’ opinion is well proved by Grandma’s caseC. Grandma often found time for social gatheringsD. Grandma’s happiness came from modest expectations of life54. People who equal happiness with wealth and success______________A. consider pressure something blocking their wayB. stress their right to happiness too muchC. are at a loss to make correct choicesD. are more likely to be happy55. What can be concluded from the passage?A. Happiness lies between the positive and the negativeB. Each man is the master of his own fateC. Success leads to happinessD. Happy is he who is content第三部分写作第一节：阅读表达（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）My name is Clara. I still remember that chilly December day, sitting in science class. I’d finished a worksheet early and picked up a TIME for Kids magazine. A piece of news caught my eye: NASA was holding an essay contest to name its Mars rover（火星探测器）. Before I even knew anything else about it, a single word flooded my 11-year-old mind: Curiosity.I couldn’t wait for the bell to ring so I could get started on my essay. That afternoon, I raced home, sat down at the computer, and typed until my fingers ached. “Curiosity is an everlasting flame that burns in everyone’s mind...”Five months later, my mom received a phone call, and immediately, a wide smile spread across her face.On August 5, 2012, at 10:31 p.m., the rover named Curiosity touched down safely on the surface of Mars, and I was honored to have a front-row seat in NASA.Curiosity is such an important part of who I am. I have always been fascinated by the stars, the planets, the sky and the universe. I remember as a little girl, my grandmother and I would sit together in the backyard for hours. She’d tell me stories and point out the stars. Grandma lived in China, thousands of miles away from my home in Kansas, but the stars kept us together even when we were apart. They were always there, yet there was so much I didn’t know about them. That’s what I love so much about space.People often ask me why we go to faraway places like Mars. My answer is simple because we’re curious. We human beings do not just hole up in one place. We are constantly wondering and trying to find out what’s over the hill and beyond the horizon.56. How did Clara get the new about the essay contest? ( no more than 10 words)57. Why did Clara have a front-row seat in NASA? ( no more than 10 words)58. What does Clara remember about the time spent with Grandma? ( no more than 15 words)59. What does the underlined phrase “hole up” mean? (1 word)60. In your opinion, why is curiosity important? ( no more than 20 words)第二节：书面表达61.假设你是某大学的学生李津，你校英语俱乐部将选举新一届副主席，负责规划、组织俱乐部的相关活动，你欲参选，请按以下提示，写一篇竞选演讲稿。

not D．You never know【考点】JI：语言交际．【分析】﹣﹣我下周要去威尼斯．﹣﹣你运气真好．那时会举办狂欢节．祝你玩得愉快!【解答】答案B．A项"你疯了"；C项"你最好不要"；D项"你永远不会懂"；B项"你真幸运"；根据答句中的"Carnival will be held then．Have fun"可知，那时威尼斯会举办狂欢节，应答的人是羡慕前面的人（去威尼斯旅行的），故选B．【点评】本题考查情景交际．解答此类题目首先应该读懂句意，分析上下文语境和逻辑关系．其次对每个选项中的交际用语的适用情况要掌握，根据语境锁定正确答案．关键平时学习中要对交际用语多积累多总结反复记忆．2．（1分）If you are in trouble，Mike is always willing to a hand．（ ）A．lend B．shake C．wave D．want【考点】AE：动词的辨析．【分析】如果你有麻烦，迈克总是乐意伸出援助之手．【解答】答案：A 短语搭配，lend sb a hand向某人伸出援助之手，帮助某人；shake hands握手；wave a hand挥手；want a hand需要帮助．句意表达的是帮忙，故选A．【点评】动词短语是一个比较难的语言点，搭配较多，用法灵活．学习时，要注意积累．尤其是相似或相近的用法，要注意区分和掌握．3．（1分）I think watching TV every evening is a waste of time﹣﹣there are meaningful things to do．（ ）A．less B．more C．the least D．the most【考点】71：副词的比较级与最高级．【分析】我认为每天晚上都看电视是浪费时间﹣﹣有更有意义的事情可做．【解答】答案：B根据句意并结合选项可知，这里指的是比看电视有意义的事情，表示两者比较，因此此处应使用形容词的比较级；A．less：较少地，不如；B．more：更多的；故选B【点评】本题考查了形容词的比较级的用法．做本题时，可根据句意判断出此处表示二者的比较，应使用形容词meaningful的比较级形式more meaningful；less是few/little的比较级，通常表示否定意义；more是many/much的比较级，表示比…多．做类似的题时，需要熟练掌握形容词比较级的意义及用法．4．（1分）﹣Mary's been offered a job in a university，but she doesn't want to take it．﹣？It's a very good chance．（ ）A．Guess what B．So what C．Who cares D．How why【考点】JI：语言交际．【分析】﹣﹣﹣Mary被给予了一份在大学里的工作，但是她不想接受（这份工作）．﹣﹣﹣为什么呢？这是一个很不错的机会．【解答】答案D．A项"猜猜看怎么了"；B项"那又如何呢"；C项"谁在乎呢"；D项"为什么呢"；根据上下文语境可知，Mary被给予了一个工作而不想做，后面说这是一个好机会．可见，说话者应该想知道原因，所以问‘这是为什么．'，因此D项符合语境，故选D．【点评】本题考查情景交际．解答此类题目首先应该读懂句意，分析上下文语境和逻辑关系．其次对每个选项中的交际用语的适用情况要掌握，根据语境锁定正确答案．关键平时学习中要对交际用语多积累多总结反复记忆．5．（1分）small，the company has about 1，000 buyers in over30 countries．（ ）A．As B．If C．Although D．Once【考点】92：从属连词；GD：省略句．【分析】尽管规模不大，但这家公司却拥有（分布在）三十多个国家的大约一千名采购员．【解答】答案：C as因为；if如果；although尽管；once一旦．题干表示的是转折关系，只有although表达这个意思．故选：C．【点评】连词用来连接复合句，类型较多．平时学习时，要注意掌握．6．（1分）We have launched another man﹣made satellite，is announced in today's newspaper．（ ）A．that B．which C．who D．what【考点】59：关系代词；H2：非限制性定语从句．【分析】句意：我们又发射了一颗人造卫星，这是在今天的报纸上宣布的．【解答】答案选B．句意：我们又发射了一颗人造卫星，这是在今天的报纸上宣布的．因为中间是个逗号，并且前后都是一个句子，这说明需要一个连词；同时这个连词必须担当主语．根据句子意思，此处关系代词which指代整个主句引导非限制性定语从句．符合这个条件的只有B．what引导的名词性从句不能和主句分割开来，that引导的名词性从句不能在句中担当任何成分．其实这是一个定语从句，which指代前面的整句话．故选B．【点评】考查定语从句．一般解法是"一看先行词，二看在句中所担当的成分"．7．（1分）While she was in Paris，she developed a _____for fine art．（ ）A．way B．relation C．taste D．habit【考点】35：名词的词义辨析．【分析】她在巴黎期间，培养了对艺术的鉴赏力．【解答】答案：C．A方法，道路；B关系；C品尝，鉴赏力；D习惯．while引导的为一时间状语从句，主句中为一简单的主谓宾结构．结合句子的逻辑关系可知应该是培养的一种对艺术的爱好，所以用a taste for"对…的品味/鉴赏力"．故选C．【点评】注意区分不同名词的含义以及用在句子中是否符合逻辑关系．8．（1分）I had hoped to take a holiday this year but I wasn't able to （ ）A．get away B．drop in C．check out D．hold on【考点】A9：动词短语．【分析】今年我本来希望能去休假，但是我没能去成．【解答】答案A．B项"顺便拜访"；C项"退房结账"；D项"坚持，继续，别挂断"；A项"逃脱，离开"；根据句子"I had hoped to take a holiday this year"可知，"had hoped"表示过去本来希望做某事但事实上没做，是对过去的一种虚拟，而"but"之后的句子表示过去的客观事实，即表示过去事实上我没能离开（去休假），故选A．【点评】本题考查动词辨析．解答此类题目首先要读懂句意，理解每个选项动词的意思，然后根据上下文语境锁定合适的动词．平时要加强动词词汇量的积累．9．（1分）No one be more generous，he has a heart of gold．（ ）A．could B．must C．dare D．need【考点】A6：情态动词．【分析】不可能有谁比他更慷慨了，他有一颗金子般的心．【解答】答案：A根据句意可知此处表示推测：不可能有谁比他更慷慨了；A．could是can的过去式，可用于否定句中表示推测，意为"一定不"；B．must表示推测时，意为"一定、准是"通常只用于肯定句；C．dare 敢；D．need 需要；故选：A．【点评】本题考查了could在否定句中表示推测的用法．做类似题时，首先根据句意判断出此处表示推测，然后根据各选项的意义及用法，选出正确答案；因此平时应注意总结并掌握情态动词表推测的用法．10．（1分）In some languages，100 words make up half of all words in daily conversations．（ ）A．using B．to useC．having used D．used【考点】BB：过去分词．【分析】在一些语言中，100个单词占了日常对话所使用的所有单词的一半．【解答】答案D．题干中make up是谓语动词，________in daily conversations作后置定语，修饰words，words与use之间是被动关系，应该用过去分词used．故选D．【点评】过去分词作定语过去分词作定语与所修饰的词之间有两种关系：从时间上讲，表示动作已经完成；从语态上讲，表示被动的概念．分词作定语有两种形式：它可以放在被修饰的名词之前，称为前置定语；有的放在被修饰的名词之后，称为后置定语．（1）前置定语：单个过去分词及由过去分词构成的复合形容词作定语时，通常置于被修饰词之前．如：the developed countries 发达国家；well﹣trained policemen 训练有素的警察man﹣made satellites 人造卫星；（2）后置定语：当单个过去分词及由过去分词修饰代词时，需置于被修饰词之后；过去分词短语作定语要后置．如：Don't use words，expression_rs or phrases known only to people with specific knowledge．不要运用只有具有特别知识的人才能懂的词汇和表达方式．The bridge built last month needs repairing．上个月建造的那座桥需要修理．11．（1分）It was not until near the end of the letter she mentioned her own plan．（ ）A．that B．where C．why D．when【考点】GC：强调句．【分析】一直到信的结尾他才提到他自己的计划．【解答】答案A．句意为：一直到信的结尾他才提到他自己的计划．强调句型的基本结构为：It is+被强调部分+that+剩余部分．判断是否为强调句型的方法，把It is 与that去掉组成完整的句子结构，即为强调句型，由此可知本句属于强调句型，故答案为A．【点评】强调句的概念：强调句（The Emphatic Pattern）是一种修辞，是人们为了表达自己的意愿或情感而使用的一种形式．通过各种方式对句子中的某个部分进行强调，从而起到修辞的作用．英语常用的强调结构有：It is （was）+被强调部分（主语、宾语或状语）+that/who…；what…be…句型；比如：It was in London that they met each other for the first time．It is not till yesterday morning that he told me this．直到昨天上午他才告诉我这件事．It was when he fell asleep that I came back home．我是在他睡着了才回到家．that 前面的部分就是强调的内容．12．（1分）At our factory there are a few machines similar to described in this magazine．（ ）A．them B．these C．those D．ones【考点】55：指示代词．【分析】我们工厂的有些机器和杂志上描述的相似．【解答】答案：C．根据句意可知，所选词是用来代替上文提到的"a few machines"而且其后有后置定语"described in this magazine"修饰，由此可知，此处属于同类中的特指，those是that的复数形式．them用作宾语，指前面所提到过的事或物，these这些，ones泛指，前面的可数名词复数，故选C．【点评】结合句子的意思掌握代词的不同分类，弄清不同代词的用法，在不同的语言环境中灵活运用他们．13．（1分）The water supply has been cut off temporarily because the workers _______ one of the main pipes．（ ）A．had repaired B．have repairedC．repaired D．are repairing【考点】E9：过去完成时．【分析】句意：水供应已暂时被切断，因为工人们正在维修其中一个主管道．【解答】答案D根据has been cut off判断应该是现在的某种时态．再根据时间状语temporarily可以判断出repair是现在正在发生的动作，应用现在进行时．故选D项．【点评】考查时态．可以根据时间状语或主从句的时态一致原则判断．14．（1分）If he had spent more time practising speaking English before，he _________ able to speak it much better now．（ ）A．will be B．would beC．has been D．would have been【考点】GJ：虚拟语气．【分析】如果以前他花更多时间练习说英语的话，那么现在他英语就会说得更好．【解答】答案B．本题实际上是考查错综时间的虚拟语气．if条件句的虚拟有三种情况：对过去的虚拟，从句用had done，主句用could/would/might+have done；对现在的虚拟，从句用did，主句用could/would/might+do；对将来的虚拟，从句用did/were to do/should+do，主句用could/would/might+do．由从句中的had spent可知从句与过去事实相反；由主句中的now可知主句与现在事实相反，故用would be．故答案选B．【点评】本题实际上是考查错综时间的虚拟语气．当主句与从句的动作发生在不同的时间，这时主、从句谓语动词的虚拟语气形式因时间不同而不同，这叫做错综条件句．这时可以根据时间状语和if条件句虚拟语气中动词的变化形式加以辨别．15．（1分）I want to tell you is the deep love and respect I have for my parents．（ ）A．That B．Which C．Whether D．What【考点】H7：wh﹣引导的主语从句．【分析】我想告诉你的是我深爱我的父母并很尊重他们．【解答】答案：D．分析句子结构可知I want to tell you为一个主语从句，该从句中缺少一个动词tell的宾语，选项中只有what引导名词性从句时充当成分；故选D．I have for my parents为一定语从句，修饰先行词the deep love and respect，关系词为that或者which，因为作动词have的宾语，故给省略了．故选：D．【点评】我们必须特别关注what所引导的名词性从句，what引导名词性从句时，必须在句中担当主、宾、表等成分，意思是"…的事或东西"，一般也不能用逗号和主句分割开来，插入语除外．二.第二节：完形填空（共1小题：每小题1.5分，满分30分）阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后从16～35各题所给出的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项．16．（30分）As

Here was life.And new horizons(见识).We eventually arrived at my parents’doorstep astonishingly fresh and full of storiesI grew brave with the trip back home and creative with my disciplining technique.On an empty section of road,everyone started quarreling.I stopped the car,ordered all kids out and told them to meet me up ahead.I parked my car half a mile away and read my book in sweet silence.Some road trips are by necessity fast and straight.But that trip with Banner opened our eyes to a world available to anyon adventurous enough to wander around and made me realize that a detour may uncover the best part of a journey----and the best part of yourself.46.Why did the author use to take freeways to her parents’home?A.It was less timeB.It would be faster and saferC.Her kids would feel less confinedD.She felt better with other drivers nearby47.The author stopped regularly on the country roads toA.relax in the fresh airB.take a dep breathC.take care of the lambD.let the kids play with Banner48.What does the author discover from the trip according to Paragraph 6?A.Freeways are where beauty hides.B.Getting close to nature adds to the joy of lifeC.Enjoying the beauty of nature benefits one’s healthD.One should follow side roads to watch wild animals49.Why did the author ask the kids to get out of the car on their way back home?A.To give herself some time to readB.To order some food for themC.To play a game with them.D.To let them cool down50.What could be the best title for the passage?A.Charm of the DetourB.The Road to BraveryC.Creativity out of NecessityD.Road trip and Country LifeD.When asked about happiness,we usually think of something extraordinary, an absolute delight,which seems to get rarer the older we get.For kids,happiness has a magical quality.Their delight at winning a race or getting a new bike is unreserved(毫不掩饰的).In the teenage years the concept of happiness changes.Suddenly it’s conditional on such things as excitement,love and popularity.I can still recall the excitement of being invited to dance with the most attractive boy at the school party.In adulthood the things that bring deep joy----love,marriage,birth----also bring responsibility and the risk of loss.For adults,happiness is complicated(复杂的)My definition fo happiness is “the capacity for enjoyment”.The more we can enjoy what we have,the happier we are.It’s easy to overlook the pleasure we get from the company of friends,the freedom to live where we please,and even goo health.I experienced my little moments of pleasure yesterday.First I was overjoyed when I shut the last lunch-box and had the house to myself.Then I spent an uninterrupted morning writing,which I love.When the kids and my husband came home,I enjoyed their noise after the quiet of the day. Psychologists tell us that to be happy we need a mix of enjoyable leisure time and satisfying work.I don’t think that my grandmother,who raised 14 children,had much of either.She did have a network of close friends and family,and maybe this is what satisfied her.We,however,with so many choices and such pressure to succeed in every area,have turned happiness into one more thing we’ve got to have.We’ve so self-conscious about our “right” to it that it’s making us miserable.So we chase it and equal it with wealth and success,without noticing that the people who have those things aren’t necessarily happierHappiness isn’t about what happens to us----it’s about how we see what happens to us.It’s the skillful way of finding a positive for every negative.It’s not wishing for what we don’t have,but enjoying what we do possess.51.As people grow older,theyA.feel it harder to experience happinessB.associate their happiness less with othersC.will take fewer risks in pursuing happinessD.tend to believe responsibility means happiness52.What can we learn about the author from Paragraph 5 and 6?A.She cares little about her own healthB.She enjoys the freedom of travelingC.She is easily pleased by things in daily lifeD.She prefers getting pleasure from housework53.What can b informed from Paragraph 7?A.Psychologists think satisfying work is key to happinessB.Psychologists’opinion is well proved by Grandma’caseC.Grandma often found time for social gatheringsD.Grandma’s happiness came from modest expectations of life54.People who equal happiness with wealth and successA.consider pressure something blocking their wayB.stress then right to happiness too muchC.are at a loss to make correct choicesD.are more likely to be happy55.What can be concluded from the passage?A.Happiness lies between the positive and the negativeB.Each man is the master of his own fateC.Success leads to happinessD.Happy is he who is content四、阅读表达My name is Clara.I still remember that chilly December day,sitting in science class.I’d finished a worksheet early and picked up a TIME for Kids magazine. A piece of news caught my eye:NASA was holding an essay contest to name its Mars rover(火星探测器).Before I even knew anything else about it,a single word flooded my 11-year-old mind,Curiosity.I couldn’t want for the bell to ring so I could get started on my essay.That afternoon,I raced home,sat down at the computer,and typed until my fingers ached. “Curiosity is an everlasting flame that burns in everyone’s mind...”Five months later, my mon received a phone call,and immediately, a wide smile spread across her face.On August 5,2012,at 10:31 p.m,the rover named Curiosity touched down safely on the surface of Mars,and I was honored to have a front-row seat in NASA.Curiosity is such an important part of who I am.I have always been fascinated by the stars,the planets,the sky and the universe. I remember as a little girl,my grandmother and I would sit together in the backyard for hours.She’d tell me stories and point out the stars,Grandma lived in China,thousands of miles away from my home in Kansas,but the stars kept us together even when we were apart.They were always there, yet there was so much I didn’t know about them.That’s what I love so much about space.People often ask me why we go to faraway places like Mares.My answer is simple because we’re curious.We human beings do not just hole up in one place.We are constantly wondering and trying to find out what’s over the hill and beyond the horizon.56.How did Clara get the new about the essay contest?( no more than 10 words)57.Why did Clara have a front-row seat in NASA?( no more than 10 words)58.What does Clara remember about the time spent with Grandma?( no more than 15 words)59.What does the underlined phrase “hole up”mean?(1 word)60.In your opinion,why is curiosity important?( no more than 20 words)五、书面表达61.假设你是某大学的学生李津，你校英语俱乐部将选举新一届副主席，负责规划、组织俱乐部的相关活动，你欲参选，请按以下提示，写一篇竞选演讲稿。

I made an effort to find good restaurants as well as nice dishes.Woman: How did you manage to make a list of 218 favorite restaurants?Man: I’ve lived in many cities and when I moved back to Sweden from the UnitedStates, people asked me where to go and eat when they went to cities I knew. I got a lot of ideas. Then I wrote about restaurants for the Swedish club magazine and someone suggested I gather the information about the restaurants together since I had all the facts about the r estaurants I’ve been to. I started to do that.Woman: How do you find restaurants?Man: The best way is to ask the people there. I may talk to the people at the street market or take a walk and look for a place for myself. I never asked a hotel clerk or a taxi driver. I don’t go empty restaurants or places with menus too difficult to understand.Text 10Man: At the beginning of the tour, we’ll start with the most important place in my town, which is the Plaza Leon. The Plaza Leon, which is more than 100 years old, is a gathering place for young people on Friday and Saturday nights, and for parents and children on Sunday afternoons. Four streets lead to the Plaza, which have white sidewalks and treeline. Hernandes Street, which was named after a famous writer born in the city, contains all of the food stores, fish markets and vegetable stands. Femando Street, which was named after an educator, is where all of the government offices are housed. Via del Mar Street, whose roads are made of stones, is the only street which still has its old surface. Finally we come to Horatio Street on which there are two universities, one of them is the most famous university in my country. That’s why it’s my favorite street of all.2019高中教师读书心得体会作为教师，在教授知识的提示，也应该利用空暇时刻渐渐品读一些好书，吸收书中的精华。
