We may spend a lot of time blaming ourselves for our negative qualities, thinking that self criticism is the key to improving our performance. How

12、ever, a constant focus on our supposed shortcomings can stop our efforts to make friends with other people. How can we believe that others could like us if we believe our inner being is flawed (有缺陷)?If someone seems to dislike you, the reason for that dislike might have little or nothing to do with

13、you. The person who doesnt like you might be fearful, or shallow, or busy or shy. Perhaps you and that person are simply a mismatch for each other at this particular time.Dont take yourself out of the game by deciding that your flaws are bigger than your good qualities. In fact, some of the very qua

14、lities you consider to be flaws may be irresistible to someone else. For all the factors that might cause one person to reject you, there are at least as many factors that will work in your favor with someone else.You might be thirty pounds over your ideal weight, but you may have a wonderful laugh

15、and a real enthusiasm for life. There are many people who dont mind your extra pounds. You may drive a shabby car, but you might be a great dancer and a loyal friend. There are people out there looking for loyalty, or fun, or sweetness, or wisdom, and the package it comes in is not important. If you

16、 are worried that you are not beautiful enough to attract friends, keep in mind that not everyone is looking for physical beauty in their friends. You can decide to feel inferior (自卑) because you dont have much money and you dont drive a nice car. You can believe that this is the reason that you don

17、t have many friends in your life. On the other hand, if you are very wealthy you may be suspicious that everyone is after your money and that nobody really likes you as a person.The point is that you can focus on just about anything and believe its the reason you do not have friends and cannot make

21、at we are one step closer to finding alien life and maybe a future home for humanity. Scientists from NASA (National Aeronautics and Space Administration) have found a new solar system filled with planets that look like Earth and could even support life.The group of seven planets, which orbits a sta

22、r called Trappist-1, is 40 light years away from Earth in the constellation of Aquarius(水瓶座). And three of them are in the so-called “habitable (宜居的)zone” -the area around a star where liquid water is most likely to be found. This is important because water is a necessary ingredient for life.All of

23、the planets were found using a method called “transit photometry.” This works by watching out for when a planet passes in front of its host start. This blocks out a small amount of light, allowing us to see the planet and learn about its size.“This is an amazing planetary system-not only because we

24、have found so many planets, but because they are all surprisingly similar in size to the Earth,” astronomer Michael Gillon from the University of Liege in Belgium told The Independent.Trappist-1 is a “dwarf star (矮星)” which is colder and shines dimmer than our sun. If a person were on one of the sev

25、en planets, everything would look a lot darker than usual. The amount of light heading toward our eyes would be about 200 times less than we get from the sun, according to The Independent.Because of that, Trappist-1, together with many other dwarf stars, was never on the list of places where scienti

26、sts look for alien life. but Michael Gillon, lead researcher behind the discovery, decided to give dwarf stars a chance. He built a telescope in Chile to observe 60 of the closest dwarf stars, and it turned out that Trappist-1 was worthy of the effort.The researchers hope that they can spend more ti

27、me watching the newly found planets to learn more about them. Even though more research is needed before determining whether these planets could really support life, the discovery is still encouraging. It shows just how many Earth-size planets could be out there.“The discovery gives us a hint that f

28、inding a second Earth is not just a matter of if, but when,” NASA scientist Thomas Zurbuchen told the Telegraph.1、Which of the following statements is TRUE about the newly found planets?AIt will take human beings about 40 years to travel to themBSome of them might have the proper conditions to suppo

31、rn when scientists search for a “second Earth”4、Which of the following can be the best title of the passage?ALife in space soon?BAny aliens in space?CTrappist-1, a dark dwarf starDNew record, seven new solar systems23（8分）Life doesnt always turn out the way wed like. When situations take an unfavorab

32、le turn, we become upset, frustrated, or angry. When others dont agree with us, or act in a manner we find disturbing, anger is a typical response. With the exception of a few extreme circumstances an angry reaction rarely improves the situation or helps us change our mind. Thoughtful consideration

33、of what feelings and reaction are most helpful actually restores our real power, so consider the following alternatives to anger.Compassion, consisting of both understanding and empathy, can be a perfect solution to anger. Each person has a right to live life according to their beliefs, dreams, need

34、s, etc. If someone is acting improperly or not living up to our ideals, we need to remove the “shoulds” and remind ourselves that it is a necessary part of their lifes journey. Choosing this alternative response softens ones heart and prevents anger from arising.Humor is another powerful tool for le

35、ssening anger. We take life and personal offense far too seriously. After all, their behavior is a reflection of their internal environment and has nothing at all to do with us and it is in reality relatively unimportant. Humor puts any serious situation into its proper places. It acts as a protecti

36、ve barrier to emotional pain as we recognize that what is happening has nothing at all to do with us.So when others behave badly, forgive them for their bad behaviors rather than judge them in your heart. When life hands us the exact opposite of what we requested, make light of it, After all, this l

37、ife is only temporary so why get so bent out of shape when it isnt in line with your ideals? Rain on your wedding day? Break oat the umbrellas and boots and dance in the puddles!1、What can we infer from the first paragraph?AAnger makes a person more powerful.BAll the people get annoyed easily.CAnger

38、 often does no good to the situation.DAnger can do something good in most cases.2、How should we respond to others misbehavior according to the second paragraph?ACriticize it sharply. BComplain about it.CLeave it as it is. DUnderstand and accept it.3、What does the underlined phrase mean in the last p

39、aragraph?ADull. BAngry.CDelighted. DGifted.4、Whats the best title of the passage?AAlternative Responses to Anger.BThe Bad Effects of Anger.CThe Causes of Frequent Anger.DThe Risk of Getting Angry.24（8分）The Secret to HappinessA new report makes it clear that when it comes to the life satisfaction of

40、UK citizens, the ball is in the governments court. For some time, sensible people have been arguing that governments need to focus less on economic growth and more on the wellbeing（幸福）of citizens. Be careful what you wish for.In response to this demand, from 2011 David Cameron instructed the Office

41、for National Statistics to gather data on peoples self-reported happiness and life satisfaction. Little practical good has come from this so far, but a new report by George Bangham for the Resolution Foundation is one of the best attempts to make useful sense of the data. He concludes: “The best pro

42、spects for policymakers targeting future increases in national wellbeing lie in raising job quality, raising incomes, particularly at the lower end, and policies to improve security in the housing market.”The age correlation（相關(guān)）turns out to be certainly linked to politics, despite the fact that no p

43、olitical party can make a difference to your date of birth. The happiness of pensioners is not just a function of their age, but of policy. On average, 70-year-old boomers today are the most affluent retirees in history, often owning their own homes and in receipt of generous pensions. People of 70

44、are not going to be as content in 30 or 40 years time if they are unable to retire, dont own their homes and have small incomes.However, there is one respect in which teens and recent retirees are remarkably similar. Compared to other age groups, they tend to inhabit a sweet spot of having high degr

45、ees of freedom. The typical 16-year-old has new freedoms without ever having had any serious responsibilities. The typical 70-year-old, having experienced a lifetime of work and family duties, has a very different kind of freedom, one born from relief.Besides，it should not surprise us to find that p

46、eople tend to be happier when they have fewer worries. But this, too, has important political implications. If the government is really interested in raising overall national happiness, it has to make sure as many citizens as possible feel secure in their health, their housing and their incomes. Dif

47、ferent states records in achieving this is one important reason why Nordic countries repeatedly score highly in international life satisfaction surveys and North America underperforms relative to its GDP.Whichever way you look at it, there is no escaping the conclusion that increasing wellbeing acro

48、ss society requires joined-up, long-term policy efforts. This is exactly what the Resolution Foundation recommends.1、What can be conveyed from the sentence “the ball is in the governments court” in Paragraph 1?AThe government officials are fond of playing ball games.BThe government determines nation

49、al happiness.CThe government makes citizens feel happy.DThe government is in a ball game.2、What does the underlined word “affluent” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?AResponsible.BCareful.CHonest.DRich.3、According to the author, the secret to happiness is freedom and _.AincomeBhealthCsecurityDdestiny4、Wh

50、at is the authors attitude to the function of government on national happiness?ANegative.BPositive.CDoubtful.DUnsatisfactory.25（10分）When its five oclock, people leave their office. The length of the workday, for many workers, is defined by time. They leave when the clocks tell them theyre done.These

51、 days, the time is everywhere: not just on clocks or watches, but on cellphones and computers. That may be a bad thing, particularly at work. New research shows that clock based work schedules hinder creativity.Clock-timers organize their day by blocks of minutes and hours. For example: a meeting fr

52、om 9 a. m. to 10 a. m, research from 10 a. m to noon, etc. On the other hand, task-timers have a list of things they want to accomplish. They work down the list, each task starts when the previous task is completed. It is said that all of us employ a mix of both these types of planning.What, then, a

53、re the effects of thinking about time in these different ways? Does one make us more productive? Better at the tasks at hand? Happier? In experiments conducted by Tamar Avnet and Anne-Laure Sellier, they had participants organize different activities from project planning, holiday shopping, to yoga

54、by time or to-do list to measure how they performed under “ clock time” vs. “ task time”. They found clock timers to be more efficient(有效率的) but less happy because they felt little control over their lives. Task timers are happier and more creative, but less productive. They tend to enjoy the moment

55、 when something good is happening, and seize opportunities that come up.The researchers argue that task-based organizing tends to be undervalued and under-supported in the business culture. This might be a small change to the way we view work and the office, but the researchers argue that it challen

56、ges a widespread characteristic of the economy: work organized by clock time. While most people will still probably need, and be, to some extent, clock-timers, task-based timing should be used when performing a job that requires more creativity. Itll make those tasks easier, and the task-doers will

57、be happier.1、What does the author say a clock-based work?AIt makes workers very tired.BIt reminds workers to leave on time.CIt makes workers aware of the precious time.DIt may have a bad effect on the creativity.2、What does the underlined word “hinder” in paragraph 2 mean?ABlock. BConsider.CIncrease

58、. DValue.3、What did Tamar Avnet and Anne-Laure Sellier find in their experiments about clock-timers?AThey seize opportunities as they come up.BThey always get their work done in time.CThey tend to be more productive.DThey can control their lives.4、What do the researchers suggest?ATask-based timing i

59、s preferred for doing creative work.BIt is important to keep a balance between work and life.CPerforming creative jobs tends to make workers happier.DA scientific standard should be adopted in job evaluation.第三部分 語言知識運用（共兩節(jié)）第一節(jié)（每小題1.5分，滿分30分）閱讀下面短文，從短文后各題所給的A、B、C和D四個選項中，選出可以填入空白處的最佳選項26（30分）完形填空Air
