Sectin B（每题1分，共10分）
Directins: Fill in each blank with a prper wrd chsen frm the bx. Each wrd can be used nly nce.
Nte that there is ne wrd mre than yu need.
Is mre happiness always better than less? The researchers asked cllege students t rate their feelings n a （41）________ frm “unhappy” t “very happy” and cmpared the results with academic and scial utcmes. Thugh the “very happy” participants had the best scial lives, they （42）________ wrse in schl than thse wh were merely “happy”.
The researchers then examined a data set frm anther study that rated cllege freshman’s “cheerfulness” and （43）________ their incme nearly tw decades later. They fund that the mst cheerful were nt the highest earners. That distinctin nce again went t the secnd-highest grup, which rated their cheerfulness as “abve average”.
As with everything in life, happiness has its trade-ffs. Pursuing happiness t the （44）________ f ther gals—knwn as psychlgical hednism（享乐主义）—nt nly is in（45）________, but may als give yu a life where yu d nt reach yur full , ptential, where yu are unwilling t take risks, where yu chse temprary pleasures ver（46）________ experiences that give life meaning.
The way t understand the study abve is nt t deny that happiness is gd; rather, it is t remember that a little bit f unhappiness has benefits. When I talk with peple abut their fear f negative utcmes in life, their true surce f fear, in many cases, centers n hw they will feel abut having failed, nt abut the cnsequences f failure itself. This is similar t the way discmfrt with uncertainty causes mre anxiety than （47）________ bad news. T avid these bad feelings, peple give up all kinds f pprtunities that invlve the pssibility f failure.
Hwever, bringing gd things int yur life, whether lve r career success, usually invlves risk. Risk des nt, f curse,（48）________ make us happy. A risky life will very likely bring disappintment, but it can bring greater rewards than a life played safe, as the studies suggested.
Nne f this is t say that we are flish fr wanting t be happy. On the cntrary, the desire fr happiness is natural and nrmal. Hwever, making the quest fr psitive feelings yur highest r nly gal is a（49）________ life strategy. Endless happiness is impssible t achieve, and ding s sacrifices many f the elements f a gd life. As the Canadian-American psychlgist Paul Blm wrte, “It’s the （50）________ we chse that affrds the mst pprtunity fr pleasure, meaning, and persnal grwth.”
Ⅲ. Reading Cmprehensin （45分）
Sectin A （每题 1分, 共 15分）
Directins: Fr each blank in the fllwing passage there are fur wrds r phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the wrd r phrase that best fits the cntext.
Dgs Bw t Wlves as Cperatrs
If yu need help herding sme sheep r retrieving a stick, yu can cunt n yur canine cmpanin, because dgs always seem t be keen n 51 . But nly if their partner is a persn. When it cmes t cperating with ne anther, dgs are truly 52 … and instead it’s wlves wh’ve mastered the art f teamwrk. That’s accrding t a study in the Prceedings f the Natinal Academy f Sciences.
Fr thusands f years, humans have been breeding dgs that can d all srts f neat tricks. And because pups aim t please, we’ve cme t think that dmesticatin has smehw 53 dgs’ pwers f cperatin. But researchers in Austria have been wndering whether that ntin culd be barking up the wrng tree. Because left t their wn devices, dgs are bigger 54 than wlves.
“S wlves live in 55 family packs, they cperate in raising the yung, they als cperate in hunting and in defending their territry. S they really have a strng 56 n cperatin in many aspects f their lives. 57 , free ranging dgs actually seek fd mstly by themselves. It’s nly mthers that raise their yung. And they d frm packs but they tend t be smewhat mre 58 , if yu want.”
That’s Sarah Marshall-Pescini f the Wlf Science Center at the University f Vienna. She and her clleagues decided t test dgs ‘and wlves’ 59 pwers f cperatin. In the setup, a pair f animals… either tw dgs r tw wlves… is 60 with a cntraptin（装置）that will allw the participants t 61 a tray f fd… but nly if bth members f the team simultaneusly pull n the tw ends f a rpe.
A dzen wlves and 14 dgs tk the challenge. And the results? The wlves ran circles arund their dggie descendants. In sme 400 attempts, the wlf teams 62 a snack 100times, which may nt sund all that impressive until yu cmpare it with the dggie cuples, wh, in nearly 500 trials, succeeded nly twice.
Nw, it’s nt that dgs are less earnest learners. Or that they turned tail and avided the apparatus（装置）. Marshall-Pescini says the pches （杂种狗）were 63 abut the device.
“What seemed t be happening was that they didn’t want t get int cnflict with each ther. S they wuldn’t bth g and try things n it but rather tk it 64 . And this really set back their capacity t cperate.”
S rather than step n each ther’s tes, the dgs tk turns bwing ut, giving their teammate a chance at the plate. That shw f scial grace left the pr pups with their tummies grwling. And n 65 t enjy.

（A）
MY GARDEN IS MY REFUGE; I find reflective islatin in it. I have seven children, s ur huse is a scene f lively cnfusin. Fr a lng time, I guarded this place f peace and quiet. When the children fllwed me int the garden, I wuld hand ut chres. “Here: yu weed the beans, yu water the nins.” Sn they wuld be ht r their backs wuld hurt frm bending ver, and they wuld leave me t myself.
Then ne day, I was trying t prepare the sil, and I hnestly wasn’t enjying my time f peace and lneliness. My 13-year-ld sn, Jsiah, picked up a spare spade and began helping. Wrking as a team, we had the pea patch dug up and fertilized in n time at all. I thanked Jsiah, realizing that I had enjyed his cmpany.
The same thing happened with picking up rcks and planting the seeds --ne r tw f the children wuld appear t watch and then participate. Each time, I wuld feel surprised t find the wrk was lighter fr their help, and their laughter made time pass faster. S I stpped resenting their cmpany and instead I began t share my gardening secrets. As spring became summer and the real wrk began, I expected the children t disappear, but n, there they were, watering, pulling weeds and checking fr insects.
One day I slipped ut by myself t the garden, feeling a little bit guilty. I had a suspicin that the sugar snap peas were ripe, and I wanted a taste. As I walked alng the rw, a little vice piped up behind me. “What are yu eating, Mama?”
Abby’s big blue eyes sparkled as I shwed her hw t pull the strings ff and pp （剥出）the peas int her muth. She just lved hw ta st y they were. Then my sweet seven-year-ld girl put me t shame. “Marna, I’ve gt t pick a bunch. Wn’t the thers lve them? I can’t wait t share.”
I realized hw selfish I had been. I’d tried t keep the jys f gardening t myself, and here was a child wh culdn’t wait t share with her brthers and sisters. I held back tears and said, “Sure, hney, let’s pick sme and I’ll shw yu hw t prepare them. We’ll make the mst wnderful supper.”
66. Why did the writer ask her children t d chres whenever they were in the garden?
A. She didn’t want t d all the wrk n her wn.
B. She intended t shw the hard labr f gardening.
C. She didn’t want them t get hurt r get t tired.
D. She was determined t keep the garden t herself.
67. What were the children like?
① lud ② lively ③ guilty ④ lving ⑤ strng
A. ①②③④ B. ①②④ C. ①②③ D. ④⑤
68. The underlined wrd “resent” prbably means ________.
A. dislike B. expect C. keep D. sacrifice
69. What did the writer try t tell the readers with this stry?
A. The best way t cmmunicate with children is by wrking tgether.
B. The glden rule f gardening is that many hands make light wrk.

The life f a jurnalist can be exciting. T be in cnstant pursuit f the latest news demands a curisity that can nly be rewarded by getting t “where it is happening” as sn as pssible. The gal, f curse, is t relate what is happening t the public as clearly as pssible.
Hwever, every jurnalist must be careful t reprt nt nly a vivid picture f what is happening, but a true picture. Each jurnalist reprts his r her wn versin f what has taken place. Still, this versin must be an actual accunt if the reprter is t maintain a reliable reputatin.
In rder t get t the truth in sme new stries, a reprter must rely n the statements f smene wh is n the inside f the situatin. Often this insider will nly talk t a reprter if the reprter prmises never t reveal the insider’s name. The insider usually threatens never t admit meeting with the reprter if his r her name is revealed.
Because stries f this nature ften invlve criminal activity, reprting them becmes a dangerus jb. This kind f wrk invlved in btaining news in this summer serves as an inviting situatin fr the underwrld as well as the legal wrld. Members f the underwrld want t find ut wh the inside r is s that they can keep him r her quiet. Members f the legal wrld claim that the reprter will disturb justice if he r she fails t disclse the insider’s name.
Rather than be unaccuntable t a trusted infrmant, mst reprters will g t jail if need be. Freedm f the press is prvided by the First Amendment f the Cnstitutin f the United States. Impure interpretatins f this prtin f the cnstitutin cause a small number f reprters t be jailed every year. Hwever, as yet, n amunt f legal maneuvering（操纵）has been able t put ut this light f freedm set up by ur frefathers. All f the reprters refusing t reveal the names f their infrmants have eventually been released.
Devtin f this kind has given jurnalism its reputatin fr reliability—a reliability that each jurnalist is expected t uphld in his r her search fr truth. Supplying a truthful accunt f each day’s ccurrence is the serius cntract made between reprter and the public.
73. Accrding t the passage, thse wh give inside infrmatin ________.
A. are usually under plice prtectin
B. d nt want their names made public
C. are n rare ccasins n gd terms with reliable reprter
D. ften have difficulty in prtecting their lives
74. Judging by the cntext, the wrd “inviting” in paragraph 4 can be replaced by ________.
A. scheming B. unknwing C. stirring D. tempting
75. Sme reprters are put int prisn mainly because ________.
A. the curts smetimes misinterpret the First Amendment f the Cnstitutin
B. they get inside stries by dishnest means
C. they are against the First Amendment f the Cnstitutin
D. there is n law in the United States t prtect freedm f the press
76. The authr implies in the passage that a reliable reprter ________.
A. seldm fllws the First Amendment f the Cnstitutin f the United States
B. shuld be diligent, clever and inventive
C. must prvide the public with a truthful accunt as clearly as pssible
D. must try every means t satisfy the public’s curisity

Mnarch Butterflies Listed as Endangered
The mnarch butterfly, knwn fr its legendary migratin frm Mexic t Canada, is nw at great risk f extinctin. Accrding t the Internatinal Unin fr Cnservatin f Nature, the ppulatin f this range-and-black insect has shrunk between 23% and 72% ver the past 10 years. IUCN has labeled it as being endangered after having added it t its Red List f Threatened Species.
（77）________. In rder t make space fr agriculture and urban develpment, peple have been illegally cutting dwn trees. As a result, the massive frested areas that had previusly sheltered the butterflies during winter have nw been destryed.
Anther factr at play is the use f herbicides（除草剂）in agricultural fields.（78）________. Just befre leaving their verwintering grunds, females lay eggs n milkweed plants. But nw milkweed is disappearing, and mnarch caterpillars are lsing their hst plants.
Climate change has als taken a heavy tll n the species.（79）________. What’s wrse, severe weather cnditins such as hurricanes and strms are prving t be disastrus fr the already vulnerable butterflies.
Mnarch experts are calling fr the public’s help in the fight t save the species. “Few species inspire the awe and wnder that the migratry mnarch butterfly cmmands,” said Dr. Sean T. O’Brien, President and CEO f Nature Serve. “While effrts t prtect this species are encuraging, much is still needed t ensure its lng-term survival.”
What can be dne t case the prblem? A middle-f-the-rad slutin is gaining grund. Scientists recmmend prmting the grwth f native milkweed and nectar flwers. Mnarch butterflies are a cmmn backyard insect in America, s everyne can cntribute their share. —（80）________. They can als plant flwers fr mnarchs.—Thse flwers will prvide nectar fr mnarchs when they blm.

Is mre happiness always better than less? The researchers asked cllege students t rate their feelings n a （41）________ frm “unhappy” t “very happy” and cmpared the results with academic and scial utcmes. Thugh the “very happy” participants had the best scial lives, they （42）________ wrse in schl than thse wh were merely “happy”.
The researchers then examined a data set frm anther study that rated cllege freshman’s “cheerfulness” and （43）________ their incme nearly tw decades later. They fund that the mst cheerful were nt the highest earners. That distinctin nce again went t the secnd-highest grup, which rated their cheerfulness as “abve average”.
As with everything in life, happiness has its trade-ffs. Pursuing happiness t the （44）________ f ther gals—knwn as psychlgical hednism（享乐主义）—nt nly is in（45）________, but may als give yu a life where yu d nt reach yur full , ptential, where yu are unwilling t take risks, where yu chse temprary pleasures ver（46）________ experiences that give life meaning.
The way t understand the study abve is nt t deny that happiness is gd; rather, it is t remember that a little bit f unhappiness has benefits. When I talk with peple abut their fear f negative utcmes in life, their true surce f fear, in many cases, centers n hw they will feel abut having failed, nt abut the cnsequences f failure itself. This is similar t the way discmfrt with uncertainty causes mre anxiety than （47）________ bad news. T avid these bad feelings, peple give up all kinds f pprtunities that invlve the pssibility f failure.
Hwever, bringing gd things int yur life, whether lve r career success, usually invlves risk. Risk des nt, f curse,（48）________ make us happy. A risky life will very likely bring disappintment, but it can bring greater rewards than a life played safe, as the studies suggested.
Nne f this is t say that we are flish fr wanting t be happy. On the cntrary, the desire fr happiness is natural and nrmal. Hwever, making the quest fr psitive feelings yur highest r nly gal is a（49）________ life strategy. Endless happiness is impssible t achieve, and ding s sacrifices many f the elements f a gd life. As the Canadian-American psychlgist Paul Blm wrte, “It’s the （50）________ we chse that affrds the mst pprtunity fr pleasure, meaning, and persnal grwth.”

Dgs Bw t Wlves as Cperatrs
If yu need help herding sme sheep r retrieving a stick, yu can cunt n yur canine cmpanin, because dgs always seem t be keen n 51 . But nly if their partner is a persn. When it cmes t cperating with ne anther, dgs are truly 52 … and instead it’s wlves wh’ve mastered the art f teamwrk. That’s accrding t a study in the Prceedings f the Natinal Academy f Sciences.
Fr thusands f years, humans have been breeding dgs that can d all srts f neat tricks. And because pups aim t please, we’ve cme t think that dmesticatin has smehw 53 dgs’ pwers f cperatin. But researchers in Austria have been wndering whether that ntin culd be barking up the wrng tree. Because left t their wn devices, dgs are bigger 54 than wlves.
“S wlves live in 55 family packs, they cperate in raising the yung, they als cperate in hunting and in defending their territry. S they really have a strng 56 n cperatin in many aspects f their lives. 57 , free ranging dgs actually seek fd mstly by themselves. It’s nly mthers that raise their yung. And they d frm packs but they tend t be smewhat mre 58 , if yu want.”
That’s Sarah Marshall-Pescini f the Wlf Science Center at the University f Vienna. She and her clleagues decided t test dgs ‘and wlves’ 59 pwers f cperatin. In the setup, a pair f animals… either tw dgs r tw wlves… is 60 with a cntraptin（装置）that will allw the participants t 61 a tray f fd… but nly if bth members f the team simultaneusly pull n the tw ends f a rpe.
A dzen wlves and 14 dgs tk the challenge. And the results? The wlves ran circles arund their dggie descendants. In sme 400 attempts, the wlf teams 62 a snack 100times, which may nt sund all that impressive until yu cmpare it with the dggie cuples, wh, in nearly 500 trials, succeeded nly twice.
Nw, it’s nt that dgs are less earnest learners. Or that they turned tail and avided the apparatus（装置）. Marshall-Pescini says the pches （杂种狗）were 63 abut the device.
“What seemed t be happening was that they didn’t want t get int cnflict with each ther. S they wuldn’t bth g and try things n it but rather tk it 64 . And this really set back their capacity t cperate.”
S rather than step n each ther’s tes, the dgs tk turns bwing ut, giving their teammate a chance at the plate. That shw f scial grace left the pr pups with their tummies grwling. And n 65 t enjy.

（A）
MY GARDEN IS MY REFUGE; I find reflective islatin in it. I have seven children, s ur huse is a scene f lively cnfusin. Fr a lng time, I guarded this place f peace and quiet. When the children fllwed me int the garden, I wuld hand ut chres. “Here: yu weed the beans, yu water the nins.” Sn they wuld be ht r their backs wuld hurt frm bending ver, and they wuld leave me t myself.
Then ne day, I was trying t prepare the sil, and I hnestly wasn’t enjying my time f peace and lneliness. My 13-year-ld sn, Jsiah, picked up a spare spade and began helping. Wrking as a team, we had the pea patch dug up and fertilized in n time at all. I thanked Jsiah, realizing that I had enjyed his cmpany.
The same thing happened with picking up rcks and planting the seeds --ne r tw f the children wuld appear t watch and then participate. Each time, I wuld feel surprised t find the wrk was lighter fr their help, and their laughter made time pass faster. S I stpped resenting their cmpany and instead I began t share my gardening secrets. As spring became summer and the real wrk began, I expected the children t disappear, but n, there they were, watering, pulling weeds and checking fr insects.
One day I slipped ut by myself t the garden, feeling a little bit guilty. I had a suspicin that the sugar snap peas were ripe, and I wanted a taste. As I walked alng the rw, a little vice piped up behind me. “What are yu eating, Mama?”
Abby’s big blue eyes sparkled as I shwed her hw t pull the strings ff and pp （剥出）the peas int her muth. She just lved hw ta st y they were. Then my sweet seven-year-ld girl put me t shame. “Marna, I’ve gt t pick a bunch. Wn’t the thers lve them? I can’t wait t share.”
I realized hw selfish I had been. I’d tried t keep the jys f gardening t myself, and here was a child wh culdn’t wait t share with her brthers and sisters. I held back tears and said, “Sure, hney, let’s pick sme and I’ll shw yu hw t prepare them. We’ll make the mst wnderful supper.”
66. Why did the writer ask her children t d chres whenever they were in the garden?

C. She didn’t want them t get hurt r get t tired.
D. She was determined t keep the garden t herself.

68. The underlined wrd “resent” prbably means ________.
A. dislike B. expect C. keep D. sacrifice

A. The best way t cmmunicate with children is by wrking tgether.

The life f a jurnalist can be exciting. T be in cnstant pursuit f the latest news demands a curisity that can nly be rewarded by getting t “where it is happening” as sn as pssible. The gal, f curse, is t relate what is happening t the public as clearly as pssible.
Hwever, every jurnalist must be careful t reprt nt nly a vivid picture f what is happening, but a true picture. Each jurnalist reprts his r her wn versin f what has taken place. Still, this versin must be an actual accunt if the reprter is t maintain a reliable reputatin.
In rder t get t the truth in sme new stries, a reprter must rely n the statements f smene wh is n the inside f the situatin. Often this insider will nly talk t a reprter if the reprter prmises never t reveal the insider’s name. The insider usually threatens never t admit meeting with the reprter if his r her name is revealed.
Because stries f this nature ften invlve criminal activity, reprting them becmes a dangerus jb. This kind f wrk invlved in btaining news in this summer serves as an inviting situatin fr the underwrld as well as the legal wrld. Members f the underwrld want t find ut wh the inside r is s that they can keep him r her quiet. Members f the legal wrld claim that the reprter will disturb justice if he r she fails t disclse the insider’s name.
Rather than be unaccuntable t a trusted infrmant, mst reprters will g t jail if need be. Freedm f the press is prvided by the First Amendment f the Cnstitutin f the United States. Impure interpretatins f this prtin f the cnstitutin cause a small number f reprters t be jailed every year. Hwever, as yet, n amunt f legal maneuvering（操纵）has been able t put ut this light f freedm set up by ur frefathers. All f the reprters refusing t reveal the names f their infrmants have eventually been released.
Devtin f this kind has given jurnalism its reputatin fr reliability—a reliability that each jurnalist is expected t uphld in his r her search fr truth. Supplying a truthful accunt f each day’s ccurrence is the serius cntract made between reprter and the public.
73. Accrding t the passage, thse wh give inside infrmatin ________.
A. are usually under plice prtectin
B. d nt want their names made public
C. are n rare ccasins n gd terms with reliable reprter
D. ften have difficulty in prtecting their lives
74. Judging by the cntext, the wrd “inviting” in paragraph 4 can be replaced by ________.
A. scheming B. unknwing C. stirring D. tempting
75. Sme reprters are put int prisn mainly because ________.

B. they get inside stries by dishnest means
C. they are against the First Amendment f the Cnstitutin
D. there is n law in the United States t prtect freedm f the press
76. The authr implies in the passage that a reliable reprter ________.
A. seldm fllws the First Amendment f the Cnstitutin f the United States
B. shuld be diligent, clever and inventive
C. must prvide the public with a truthful accunt as clearly as pssible
D. must try every means t satisfy the public’s curisity

Mnarch Butterflies Listed as Endangered
The mnarch butterfly, knwn fr its legendary migratin frm Mexic t Canada, is nw at great risk f extinctin. Accrding t the Internatinal Unin fr Cnservatin f Nature, the ppulatin f this range-and-black insect has shrunk between 23% and 72% ver the past 10 years. IUCN has labeled it as being endangered after having added it t its Red List f Threatened Species.
（77）________. In rder t make space fr agriculture and urban develpment, peple have been illegally cutting dwn trees. As a result, the massive frested areas that had previusly sheltered the butterflies during winter have nw been destryed.
Anther factr at play is the use f herbicides（除草剂）in agricultural fields.（78）________. Just befre leaving their verwintering grunds, females lay eggs n milkweed plants. But nw milkweed is disappearing, and mnarch caterpillars are lsing their hst plants.
Climate change has als taken a heavy tll n the species.（79）________. What’s wrse, severe weather cnditins such as hurricanes and strms are prving t be disastrus fr the already vulnerable butterflies.
Mnarch experts are calling fr the public’s help in the fight t save the species. “Few species inspire the awe and wnder that the migratry mnarch butterfly cmmands,” said Dr. Sean T.
