2、受欢迎。根据语境，因为新鲜水果容易购买，于是水果罐头不那么受欢迎了，readily“容易地”符合题意。因此B选项正确。2. 单选题As a motivational speaker, Caroline Miller knows a few things about using mental exercises to achieve goals. But last year, one exercise she was asked to try took her by surprise. Every night, she was to think of three good things that

3、 happened that day and analyze why they occurred. That was supposed to increase her overall happiness. “I thought it was too simple to be effective”, said Miller. “I went to Harvard. Im used to things being complicated.” But, the quality of her dreams did change and she did feel happier.That exercis

6、ter a while.But recent long-term studies have revealed that the happiness thermostat is more malleable than the popular theory maintained. “Set-point is not destiny,” says psychologist Ed Diener of the University of Illinois.The think-of-three-good-things exercise that Miller found so simplistic at

7、first is among those being tested by Martin Seligman at the University of Pennsylvania. People keep doing it on their own because its immediately rewarding.

For example, participants were asked to regularly practice random acts of kindness, things like holding a door open for a stranger, for 10 weeks. Participants who performed

9、 a variety of acts, rather than repeating the same ones, showed an increase in happiness even a month after the experiment was concluded. Those who kept on doing the acts on their own did better than those who didnt.But she also said any long-term effect will probably depend on people continuing to

10、work at it. “Happiness is the process not the place. So many of us think that when we get everything just right, we will be happy But once we get everything in place, we still need new goals and activities. The Princess could not just stop when she got the Prince.”1.For Miller, the think-of-three-go

15、compare the different strategies to happinessC.confirm the popular theory of happinessD.introduce the latest studies on happiness【答案】第1题:B第2题:B第3题:D第4题:C第5题:A【解析】1.语义推测题。根据第一段第四到八句That was supposed to increase her overall happiness. “I thought it was too simple to be effective”, said Miller But, the

16、 quality of her dreams did change and she did feel happier.（这应该会增加她的整体幸福感。米勒说：“我认为这太简单了，根本不起作用但是，她的梦的质量确实改变了，她感到更快乐了。），可知B选项“意想不到的好”正确，D选项“因为太简单，所以没效果”错误，A选项“是一场灾难”错误。D选项“喜忧参半的结果”：没有提到消极的影响。因此B选项正确。2.语义推测题。根据第三段第二、三句the effects of good or bad life events like marriage, a raise, divorce, or disabilit

17、y will simply fade with time. We adapt to them just like we stop noticing bad odor from behind the living room couch after a while.（生活中好事或坏事的影响，如结婚、加薪、离婚或残疾，都会随着时间而逐渐消失。我们适应了它们，就像一段时间后我们不再注意客厅沙发的难闻气味一样。），可知这里说好事和坏事的影响都不会长久，故A选项“好的事件使人们更容易享受幸福的生活”错误；因为不长久，所以努力也可能没多大用，故B选项“人们为幸福生活所做的努力可能收效甚微”正确；不长久的原因

18、是习惯了那种感觉，就像会习惯沙发的气味一样，原文的adopt倾向于习惯某件事，和D选项“人们的适应能力也许是幸福生活的关键”中的适应能力不同，故D选项错误。C选项“人们希望拥有更幸福的生活没有错”不是主要观点，没有讨论追求幸福是对是错的问题，故错误。因此B选项正确。3.语义推测题。根据第一段Miller做的简单的测试感觉到更快乐，参考36题答案解析，以及第五段第一句The think-of-three-good-things exercise that Miller found so simplistictested by Martin Seligman（Martin Seligman进行了测

19、试，米勒一开始认为思考三件好事的策略过于简单。），以及根据第六段Sonja Lyubomirskytesting some other simple strategies.（Sonja Lyubomirsky正在测试一些其他的简单策略）和showed an increase in happiness even a month after the experiment（即使在一个月之后，幸福感仍有所提高），可知两人都做的简单测试，并且让人感觉更幸福，并且持久，故D选项“简单的策略实际上可以让人们感觉更快乐”正确，A选项“有的有效策略的效果也许不能持久”错误。B选项“人们有必要尝试所有有用的策略”

20、：根据第六段Participants who performed a variety of acts（参与者做不同动作），这不代表要尝试所有有用的策略。C选项“同样的策略对不同的人有不同的影响”：没有提到不同的影响，测试结果都是正向的。因此D选项正确。4.语义推测题。根据第七段倒数第二句once we get everything in place, we still need new goals and activities（一旦我们把每件事都做好了，我们仍然需要新的目标和活动），可知幸福需要持续拥有目标和实现目标，通过这样获得长期的幸福，故C选项“需要持续的努力来确保长期的幸福”正确，A选

21、项“生活目标的改变可能不会影响长期的幸福”错误，D选项“人们不可能获得长期的幸福”错误。B选项“珍惜你所拥有的是长久幸福的途径”：珍惜在文中没有提到。因此C选项正确。5.主旨大意题。作者通过颠覆大多数人对快乐的理解，再引出自己对快乐的理解，想要人们重新思考幸福，故A选项“帮助人们重新思考幸福的价值”正确。B选项“比较不同的幸福策略”：文中通过例子可知幸福的策略很简单，没有强调各个方法的不同点。C选项“证实流行的幸福理论”：文中说的幸福策略恰恰跟很多人想的不一样，作者讲的策略并不流行。D选项“介绍关于幸福的最新研究”：文章没有提到这些信息是否是最近的。因此A选项正确。3. 单选题Of all t

22、he classical composers, Tchaikovsky has been a veritable gold-mine as a（ ）source of themes for popular arrangements.问题1选项A.lucrativeB.ostensibleC.orthodoxD.tentative【答案】A【解析】考查形容词辨析。A选项lucrative“有利可图的，赚钱的”；B选项ostensible“表面的，假装的”；C选项orthodox“正统的；惯常的”；D选项tentative“不确定的，暂定的；犹豫的”。句意：在所有的古典作曲家中，柴可夫斯基是一个名

23、副其实的金矿，他总是创造出大受市场欢迎的主题作品。由gold-mine可知lucrative与其意思对应。因此A选项正确。4. 单选题At short notice rescue troops were sent to help the vehicles（ ）the deep snow.问题1选项A.soaked withB.stuck inC.intended forD.connected to【答案】B【解析】考查词组辨析。A选项soaked with“用浸泡，使浸透”；B选项stuck in“陷入，插入”；C选项intended for“用来”；D选项connected to“连接”。句

24、意：刚接到通知，救援部队就立马被派去帮助这些深深（ ）在雪里的车辆。根据语境，车辆stuck in“陷入”雪中比较合理。因此B选项正确。5. 单选题Some women are motivated to work（ ）professional interests and a desire to contribute to society.问题1选项A.because ofB.as toC.regardless ofD.in spite of【答案】A【解析】考查介词短语辨析。A选项because of “因为；由于”；B选项as to“至于，关于；就而论”；C选项regardless of “

25、不顾，不管”；D选项in spite of “不管、虽然、尽管、不顾”。句意：有些妇女工作的动机是（ ）职业兴趣和为社会做贡献的愿望。B、C、D选项不符合句意，因此A选项正确。6. 单选题The company can constantly monitor the level of heat and energy and adjust（ ）.问题1选项A.accordinglyB.basicallyC.conventionallyD.subjectively【答案】A【解析】考查副词辨析。A选项accordingly“相应地”；B选项basically “基本地”；C选项conventiona

26、lly“传统地”；D选项subjectively“主观地”。题干意思：公司可以不间断地监控热量和能源的指数，并且（ ）进行调整。因此A选项正确。7. 单选题Once, at a party, I was introduced to a friend of a friend. We shook hands, I told her my name, she told me hers. Then she did something that I was ever so grateful for. “Hang on,” she said. “Can you say your name again? I

27、 wasnt really listening.” She saved me from having to laterpossibly even at the same partysheepishly admit that I, too, had already forgotten her name.An informal poll of fellow Atlantic staffers confirmed my suspicion that this is something that happens to even the most kind and conscientious among

28、 us. No sooner does someone utter the most fundamental factoid about themselves than the information flees our brains forever.There are a few reasons why this occurs:Youre not really that interested: Maybe youre just making an appearance at this party and are planning to abscond shortly to a superio

29、r kick-back. Your level of interest can impact how well you remember something. “Some people, perhaps those who are more socially aware, are just more interested in people, more interested in relationships,” Richard Harris, professor of psychology at Kansas State University, told Science Daily. “The

30、y would be more motivated to remember somebodys name.” There are two types of storage in the brain: Long-term and short-term. The short-term variety is called “working memory,” and it functions like a very leaky thermos. It doesnt hold much and it spills stuff out all the time. “You can hold just a

31、little bit of information there and if you dont concentrate on it, it fades away rapidly,” Paul Reber, a psychology professor at Northwestern University, told me in an email. “Information like a name needs to be transferred to a different brain system that creates long-term memories that persist ove

32、r time.” Theres not much in a name, frankly. It doesnt actually tell you anything about the person youre meeting, and thus it doesnt give your brain anything to cling to. “Human memory is very good at things like faces and factual information that connects well to other information you already know,

33、” Reber said. The name ends up neither connecting to what you already know nor standing out as unusual,” Reber said. “So you get this funny phenomenon where you can remember lots about a person you recently meteverything except their name (this happens to me all the time).”1.The author points out in

34、 the first two paragraphs that（ ）.2.According to Richard Harris, how well we remember a name is related to（ ）.3.What is the problem mentioned in Paragraph 5?4.It can be learned from Paragraph 6 that names are（ ）.5.What is the best title for the passage?问题1选项A.we want to know how to remember other pe

35、oples nameB.we often feel sorry for forgetting other peoples nameC.it is important to remember other peoples nameD.it is just common to forget other peoples name问题2选项A.whether it is necessary to do itB.whether the name is easy to rememberC.how good our memory isD.how interested we are in that person

36、问题3选项A.Limit of working memory.B.Confusing information.C.Malfunction of the brain.D.Too much information.问题4选项A.symbolicB.pointlessC.uniqueD.informative问题5选项A.Whats in a name?B.Whats your name, again?C.Dont forget my nameD.Thats my name【答案】第1题:D第2题:D第3题:A第4题:B第5题:B【解析】1.推理判断题。前两段作者根据自己的亲身经历讲述我们经常忘记别

37、人的名字。该题的解题关键在于要联系上下文，第三段说道“There are a few reasons why this occurs:（出现这种情况有以下几个原因：）”，那么最能承接这句话的就是正确答案。A选项“我们想知道如何记住别人的名字”；B选项“我们常常因为忘记了别人的名字而感到抱歉”；C选项“记住别人的名字是很重要的”都和下文联系不大，所以D选项“忘记别人的名字是很正常的”正确。2.事实细节题。第四段中指出“Your level of interest can impact how well you remember something.（你的兴趣程度会影响你记忆的好坏。）”，Rich

38、ard Harris的研究指出也表明“Some people, perhaps those who are more socially aware, are just more interested in people, more interested in relationships（有些人可能更有社会意识，对人更感兴趣，对人际关系更感兴趣。）”，A选项“是否有必要做这件事”；B选项“名字是否容易被记住”；C选项“我们的记忆力有多好”都与原文不符，因此D选项“我们对那个人有多感兴趣”正确。3.推理判断题。第五段主要讲了短时记忆即工作记忆的缺点。“The short-term variety

39、is called working memory, and it functions like a very leaky thermos. It doesnt hold much and it spills stuff out all the time.（短期记忆被称为工作记忆，它的功能就像一个漏水的保温瓶。它装不了多少东西，还总是把东西倒出来。）”。B选项“混乱的信息”；C选项“大脑功能障碍”；D选项“太多的信息”都不符合段意，因此A选项“工作记忆的限制”正确。4.事实细节题。第六段说到“Theres not much in a name, frankly. It doesnt actual

40、ly tell you anything about the person youre meeting, and thus it doesnt give your brain anything to cling to.（坦白地说，名字里并没有什么。它实际上并没有告诉你任何关于你要见的人的信息，因此它也没有给你的大脑任何依附的东西。）”，由此可看出名字是没有什么实际意义的。A选项“符号”；C选项“独特的”；D选项“信息量大的”都不符合原文，因此B选项“没有意义的”正确。5.主旨大意题。由文章第一段可知我们经常忘记别人的名字，文章后面几段在阐述为什么会有这种现象。所以B选项“请再说一遍你的名字好吗

41、？”更加符合文章主旨大意。A选项“名字里有什么”；C选项“别忘了我的名字”；D选项“那是我的名字”都没有B选项适合。因此B选项正确。8. 单选题Dog owners must（ ）the dogs waste in containers provided throughout the park.问题1选项A.pick upB.set asideC.dispose ofD.take off【答案】C【解析】考查动词短语辨析。A选项pick up “捡起；获得；收拾”；B选项set aside “留出；驳回，撤销；不顾”；C选项dispose of “处理；转让；解决；吃光；除掉；卖掉”；D选项t

42、ake off “起飞；脱下；离开；突然成功”。句意：养狗人必须用公园内提供的容器处理狗的排泄物。A选项pick up 应该更侧重于捡起狗狗拉在地上的排泄物，而题干中说到了在容器内，在容器内处理狗狗的排泄物更适合，因此C选项正确。9. 单选题Into her nineties, her thinking（ ）acute and her character forceful.问题1选项A.remainedB.retainedC.maintainedD.contained【答案】A【解析】考查动词辨析。A选项remained “保持”；B选项retained “保存”；C选项maintained

43、“维护”；D选项contained “包含”。句意：虽已年届九旬，她（ ）头脑敏锐，个性很强。题干的意思是虽然她年纪很大了，但还是保持清晰的头脑，因此A选项正确。10. 单选题One of the chief functions of slang words is to consolidate ones（ ）with a group.问题1选项A.introductionB.superstitionC.identificationD.specification【答案】C【解析】考查名词辨析。A选项introduction“介绍；引进；入门”；B选项superstition“迷信”；C选项ide

44、ntification“辨认；认同；身份”；D选项specification“规格；说明书”。句意：俚语的主要功能之一增强与其一伙人的（ ）。根据语境，俚语主要是拉近人和人之间的距离，identification“认同”比较合理。因此C选项正确。11. 单选题Some years ago, Houston airport faced a troubling issue. Passengers were（1）about the long waits at baggage claim (行李提取处).（2）, the executives increased the number of bagga

45、ge handlers. The plan（3）: the average wait fell to eight minutes, well within industry standard.（4）the complaints persisted.（5）, the airport executives undertook a more careful analysis.

53、； B选项thinking“思考”；C选项asking“请求”，因此D选项正确。2.考查语境理解。由空格前，联系第一题“Passengers were complaining about the long waits at baggage claim（乘客们在抱怨行李提取处等待时间太长）”，空格后“the executives increased the number of baggage handlers.（行政人员增加了行李搬运工的人数。）”可知，空格后是对空格前做的回应。B选项In fact“事实上，实际上”；C选项In theory“理论上”；D选项In turn“轮流，依次”，都不符

54、合上下文语境，因此A选项正确。3.考查语境理解。根据下文“the average wait fell to eight minutes, well within industry standard.（平均等待时间降至8分钟，完全符合行业标准。）”可知这项计划奏效了，等待时间下降了。因此B选项正确。4.考查逻辑关系。根据上文“the average wait fell to eight minutes, well within industry standard. （平均等待时间降至8分钟，完全符合行业标准。）”和下文“the complaints persisted.（人们的抱怨仍在继续）”可

55、知空格处填的词应该表示转折。A选项So表原因；B选项But表转折；C选项Or表并列；D选项And表并列，因此B选项正确。5.考查动词辨析。“（ ）, the airport executives undertook a more careful analysis.”意为“因为机场管理人员进行了更仔细的分析”。A选项Puzzled“困惑”；B选项Scared“害怕”；C选项Delighted“高兴，愉快”；D选项Relieved“解除”。因此A选项正确。6.考查固定搭配。It take sb some time to do sth意为花费时间做某事，没有It spend sb some time

56、 to do sth这个说法，spend的用法是sb spend some time (in) doing sth，它的主语必须是人；cost的用法是sth cost sb +金钱；need的主语一般是人，不用it作形式主语。因此D选项正确。7.考查短语辨析。根据上文“They found that it took passengers a minute to walk from their arrival gates to baggage claim and seven more minutes to get their bags.（乘客从到达登机口走到行李认领处需要1分钟，取行李又需要7分

57、钟。）” 和下文“roughly 88 percent of their time was spent standing around waiting for their bags.（他们大约88%的时间是在站着等行李。）”可知上下文表示的意思是一样的，所以空格处应填一个表并列关系的短语。因此空格处应填“in other words”，因此D选项正确。8.考查短语辨析。A选项in spite of“不管，不顾”；B选项instead of“代替，而不是”；C选项by means of“依靠，借助于”；D选项because of“因为，由于”，句意：他们没有缩短等待时间，而是把到达门移到离主航站

58、楼更远的地方。因此B选项正确。9.考查语境理解。句意：参考第48题，他们没有缩短等待时间，而是把到达门移到离主航站楼更远的地方。现在乘客们得多走六倍的路。投诉几乎为（ ）。从句意我们可以看出空格处应该为一个数值，选项中只有B选项符合，因此B选项正确。10.考查名词辨析。句意：这个故事表明，等待的体验只在一定程度上取决于客观等待的（ ）。A选项complaint “抱怨”不符合句意；B选项reach “范围”不符合句意； C选项feeling “感觉”与句中的体验相冲突；D选项length “时长”符合句意，因此D选项正确。11.考查逻辑关系。该句意为：被占用的时间（走到行李认领处）感觉比没被占

59、用的时间（站在行李认领处）（ ）。根据上文中提到的，机场管理人员把到达门移到离主航站楼更远的地方，乘客们在等待的过程中感觉有事情可做，就会觉得走路的时间比等待的时间短，因此A选项正确。12.考查动词辨析。该空格处应填与前面括号内（walking to baggage claim）相对应的单词。A选项looking “看”；B选项standing “站”；C选项serving“招待、服务”；D选项pointing“指向，表明”，其中只有B选项与前面括号内的内容适配度更高，因此B选项正确。13.考查动词辨析。句意：关于排队的研究表明，人们平均会（ ）自己排队等候的时间。A选项dislike “不喜

60、欢，厌恶”；B选项disagree“不同意，反对”；C选项overestimate “高估”；D选项misunderstand “误解，误会”。联系上下文可知人们总是以为自己的排队时长很长，其实不然，所以人们经常高估自己排队等候的时间，因此C选项正确。14.考查语境理解。句意：这也是（ ）电梯旁边有镜子。根据下文可知，正是因为镜子让人们在等待的时候有事可做，所以会让人们感觉等待时间缩短了，所以空格处应填有因果关系的词，因此C选项正确。15.考查语境理解。该句子句意为：这个（ ）出现在二战后的经济繁荣时期，当时高楼林立，导致了人们对电梯延误的抱怨。由此可知，人们对电梯的延误感到抱怨更偏向于是一种

61、社会问题。A选项reason “原因”；B选项problem “问题”；C选项standard “标准”；D选项idea “方法”，因此B选项正确。16.考查短语辨析。A选项call for “要求，需要，倡导”；B选项point out “指出，指明”；C选项lead to “导致”；D选项begin with “以开始，开始于”。参考55题，句意为：这个问题产生于二战后的经济繁荣时期，当时高楼林立，（ ）了人们对电梯延误的抱怨。根据句意可知空格处应填导致了人们的抱怨，所以C选项正确。17.考查固定搭配。A选项be accustomed to的意思：习惯于；习以为常；B选项be specif

62、ic to “针对而言，仅限于”；C选项be helpful to do sth. 对做有帮助，后面一般接to do不定式；D选项be similar to “与相似，和相似”，to后面可以接人，也可以接物。句意：镜子后面的原因和休斯顿机场使用的（ ）：让人们有事可做。一夜之间，投诉停止了。联系上下文可知镜子和机场都是为了让人们在等待的时候有事情可做，他们的目的是一样的，因此D选项正确。18.考查副词辨析。句意：（ ）一夜之间，投诉停止了。A选项rather “宁可，宁愿，相当”；B选项quite “很，相当，完全”；C选项entirely “完全的”；D选项almost“差不多，几乎”。联系题干可知D选项正确。19.考查动词辨析。A选项cross “穿过，横过”，cross后面一般不用lines，而是cross the line，cross the
