【解析】《華爾街日報》的一篇新文章關(guān)于“我們所掙的和我們感覺怎樣”的文章讓我們對金錢和幸福之間的關(guān)系有了更深的理解。本文講述了幾條如何更好的花錢的建議。
【1】D根據(jù)下文:那是不正確的。收入高的人比掙扎在生活邊緣的人更幸福。故上文應(yīng)該是“錢不能買來幸福,對嗎?”故選D。
【2】F根據(jù)下文:人們認(rèn)為經(jīng)歷只會提供暫時的快樂,但是它們(指物質(zhì))會提供更幸福更持久的價值,這價值能更好地幫助你掌控你的生活。可知,故F項“沒有很多多余的錢,人們更傾向買重要的商品!备爬ū径蝺(nèi)容,符合語境。
【3】E此空是一小標(biāo)題,用祈使句,在A/B/E中選。根據(jù)下文:Buying small things can give us frequent small pleasures(買小東西會給我們帶來經(jīng)常的小快樂。)可知,E項Buy lots of little things, rather than one big thing.(買許多小東西,而不是一個大東西。)概括本段內(nèi)容,故選E。
【4】B此空也是一個小標(biāo)題,在A/B中選。根據(jù)下文:考慮你買的東西怎樣影響你花費的時間也是重要的。也就是說“確保也買時間”。故選B。
【5】G根據(jù)上句中:加拿大英屬哥倫比亞大學(xué)心理學(xué)副教授Elizabeth Dunn發(fā)現(xiàn),在像美國、南非和烏干達(dá)這樣的國家,贈送錢財總是讓人更快樂。G項“這對本身相對窮的人來說甚至是事實。”是對上文的進(jìn)一步說明,故選G。

【題目】There are a lot of people who are overweight all over the world. What causes obesity? If you get the gene(基因), well, probably you are going to be a few more pounds heavier compared to the rest of your classmates or friends. 【1】 Obesity can not only make a person look heavy, and not in the usual sense of being handsome, but can also lead to serious health conditions and life-threatening diseases.
【2】 Indeed, junk food has been blamed for the prevalence(流行)of obesity. It is called junk food, because hamburger, pizza and the like contain high calories. If you eat a Big Mac (a super hamburger), an order of large fries, and a large Coke, you will need to walk non-stop for six hours to burn off the calories you have gained. And don’t be fooled by soft drinks, which are high in sugar and are a major cause of obesity.
【3】 Popular sugary drinks, of course, include Coca Cola, Pepsi(百事) Cola, and many new brands that appear on the market every couple of days.
【4】 Just one 20-ounce (about 567g) bottle of soda can have 250 calories, which are equal to more than 16 teaspoons of added sugars. Even a lemon-flavored iced tea can have 210 calories.
【5】 Next time, when you are ready to eat that huge Mac and to drink that two-liter bottle of Pepsi, probably it’s a good idea to give it a second thought.
A. Obesity is more common in women than men.
B. Most people don’t realize how easy it is to gain weight from drink sugar-sweetened beverages(飲料)
C. When we talk about obesity, the first thought that comes to mind is: junk food.
D. The unburnt calories will put weight on you.
E. Keeping healthy is our own responsibility.
F. Because of their high content of sugar, soft drinks are also called sugary drinks.

【題目】In modern society there is a great deal of argument about competition. Some value it highly, believing that it is responsible for social progress and prosperity. Others say that competition is bad; that it sets one person against another; that it leads to unfriendly relationship between people.
I have taught many children who held the belief that their self-worth relied(依賴) on how well they performed at tennis and other skills. For them, playing well and winning are often life-and-death affairs. In their single-minded pursuit(追求) of success, the development, of many other human qualities is sadly forgotten.
However, while some seem to be lost in the desire to succeed, others take an opposite attitude. In a culture which values only the winner and pays no attention to the ordinary players, they strongly blame competition. Among the most vocal are youngsters who have suffered under competitive pressures from their parents or society. Teaching these young people, I often observe in them a desire to fail. They seem to seek failure by not trying to win or achieve success. By not trying, they always have an excuse: “I may have lost, but it doesn’t matter because I really didn’t try.” What is not usually admitted by themselves is the belief that if they had really tried and lost, that would mean a lot. Such a loss would be a measure of their worth. Clearly, this belief is the same as that of the true competitors who try to prove themselves. Both are based on the mistaken belief that one’s self-respect relies on how well one performs in comparison with others. Both are afraid of not being valued. Only as this basic and often troublesome fear begins to dissolve(緩解) can we discover a new meaning in competition.
【1】What does this passage mainly talk about?
A. Competition helps to set up self-respect.
B. Opinions about competition are different among people.
C. Competition is harmful to personal quality development.
D. Failures are necessary experiences in competition.
【2】Why do some people favor competition according to the passage?
A. It pushes society forward. B. It builds up a sense of duty.
C. It improves personal abilities. D. It encourages individual efforts.
【3】The underlined phrase “the most vocal” in Paragraph 3 means _______.
A. those who try their best to win
B. those who value competition most highly
C. those who are against competition most strongly
D. those who rely on others most for success
【4】What is the similar belief of the true competitors and those with a “desire to fail”?
A. One’s worth lies in his performance compared with others.
B. One’s success in competition needs great efforts.
C. One’s achievement is determined by his particular skills.
D. One’s success is based on how hard he has tried.
【5】Which point of view may the author agree to?
A. Every effort should be paid back.
B. Competition should be encouraged.
C. Winning should be a life-and-death matter
D. Fear of failure should be removed in competition.
