Year f Giving
Yesterday I started the Year f Giving, my first day f a year-lng jurney int explring the act f giving and the meaning f charity. I chse December IS as the starting date, which marked three years since my mther died frm heart disease. She was ne f the mst generus peple that I have ever knwn. She always thught f thers first and certainly serves as an inspiratin t me.
I had a rattier busy day yesterday, irnic (具有讽刺意义的) fr smene wh is unemplyed right nw. In the mrning I went t the gym, and unsuccessfully gt the phne call frm the unemplyment ffice fr sme jb searching. Befre I knew it, it was nn. I grabbed a quick lunch and rushed dwn t a meeting. On my way t Cnnecticut, I wndered if I wuld see smene that I wuld feel frced t give my first $10 t. I was running late and decided t d it afterwards.
After the meeting I had abut half an hur t find the first persn f my Year f Giving! I decided t check ut Dupnt Circle. I had met a guy there named Jerry nce and thught he wuld willingly accept my first $10. He wasn’t there, but I did see a man sitting by himself wh lked really lnely, s I apprached him. Nw I had t figure ut what I was ging t say. I think I said smething like “Hi, can I sit dwn here?” “I wuld like t knw if I culd give yu $10?” He asked me t repeat what I had said. I did, then he lked at me funny, gt up and left
I then started walking suth where I sptted a man standing by the bus stp n Cnnecticut Ave. He appeared t be in his 60s. I dn’t knw what drew me t him, but I thught I wuld make my secnd attempt. I was a bit nervus and asked him which bus came by that stp. Then I explained that I was starting a year-lng prject t give $10 t smene every day and that I wanted t give my $10 fr tday t him. The gentleman, I later fund ut that his name was Ed, respnded withut hesitatin that he culd nt accept my ffer and that there were many peple mre deserving the mney than him. This was exactly ne f the that I hped wuld happen. Peple wuld think f thers befre themselves!

If yu analyze peple’s actins, yu will cme t the cnclusin that they all seek happiness. Every act is in fact a search fr it, even if n the surface it desn’t lk s. Happiness is always the main target.
Ging t the mvies, eating in a restaurant and ging t a party are all mtivated by the desire t be happy. Wh des nt dream f a vacatin in sme fascinating lcatins, a new car, a new huse, r the ideal match? All peple daydream, and sme even try t make their dream a reality. And why is that? In rder t be happy!
Many peple endanger themselves by climbing steep muntains, entering unexplred caves, r diving int the deep f the cean in rder t enjy the few mments f happiness. A thief may steal because he lves the thrill f danger, r because he desires t have quick mney t spend. He is actually lking fr happiness, thugh in a perverted way.
Of curse nt all actins end in happiness. The mtive is happiness, but the results d nt always bring the desire. Accrding t sme spiritual traditins, we are spiritual beings in physical bdies. The spiritual part is always happy. Rather, it is happiness itself. But the physical bdy cvers this happiness essence(本质). There is a cnstant desire t find ut this happiness. This is the reasn why happiness is cnstantly sught.
Hwever, there is.n need t search fr happiness r t create it, r t have all kinds f uter experiences and actins in rder t feel it. On the cntrary, everything has t be drpped in rder t experience it. Every technique, which helps t relax the mind and calm the rush f thughts will lead t happiness.
28. Frm the first tw paragraphs, we can learn that______.
A. happiness is a daydream
B. it is very hard t analyze peple’s actins
C. many things peple d are t attain happiness
D. ne shuld act carefully s as nt t shw his purpse
29. The underlined wrd “perverted” in Paragraph 3 mst likely means
A. illegalB. unfairC. cautiusD. difficult
30. Accrding t the authr, why d peple seek happiness all the time?
A. All actins dn’t result in the expected happiness
B. There is little awareness f the nature f happiness.
C. One’s physical bdy is cntrlled by his spiritual part.
D. Peple arc s greedy that it’s hard t satisfy their desires.
D
Have yu ever wished yu culd be better rganized r mre sciable? Perhaps yu’re a cnstant wrrier, and yu’d prefer t be a little mre carefree? Actually at least 2/3 f peple wuld like t change sme elements f their persnality. In the past, such desires appeared t be fruitless. One’s persnality was thught t be frmed in childhd and t remain fixed thrughut his entire life.
Recent research frm psychlgy prfessr Nathan Hudsn and his clleagues, hwever, challenges this expectatin f a fixed persnality. With the right psychlgical strategies and enugh effrt, they say, many peple can successfully shape their desired persnality.
Their interventins (干预) typically invlve recmmending regular activities that reflect the persnality traits(特征) peple wish t adpt. Intrverts wh wish t be mre utging, fr example, might have the gal f intrducing themselves t a stranger nce a week, r making small talk with the cashier in the supermarket. Smene wh wishes t be mre rganized and disciplined might be asked t carefully duble-check an email befre sending it, r t write a t-d list befre ging t bed.
While these tasks may seem insignificant, the aim is fr the thinking patterns and behavirs they prduce t becme habitual. And the evidence s far suggests it wrks remarkably well. In ne 15-week trial f 400 peple, participants accepted an average f tw challenges each week. After they cmpleted thse tasks, their traits shifted in the desired directin, accrding t a persnality questinnaire (调查问卷).
The unexpected persnality change shuld be gd news fr anyne wh wishes they were a bit mre sciable, rganized, r happy-g-lucky. Anther ptential benefit is that awareness f this research culd help imprve mental health.
Peple always believe negative feelings are just part f wh they are, and there is little they can d t change them. But what if educating peple abut their ptential fr persnality change culd place them n a mre psitive track? T test this idea, Harvard prfessr f psychlgy, Jhn Weisz, and his partner selected a grup f 100 teenagers wh had previusly shwn signs f anxiety r depressin. They tk a cmputerized curse that explained the science f brain plasticity(可塑性), and were then given wrksheets t strengthen what they had learned.
When Weisz checked in n the teens’ mental health nine mnths later, the students reprted a significant decrease in their anxiety and depressin cmpared with thse wh had instead taken part in a curse n “emtinal expressin”.
Whether yu are struggling with serius issues r simply want t plish ff yur rugher edges, remember that character is within yur wn hands and yu have the pwer t becme what yu want t be.
31. Accrding t the passage, an ld belief abut persnality is that ________.
A. mst peple are satisfied with their persnality
B. sciable r rganized peple are mre ppular
C. childhd has nthing t d with persnality

18. in 19. successfully
20. rewarding
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了一些澳大利亚学生来我校参观选修课程的故事。
【17题详解】
考查时态和语态。句意：他们参观了各种选修课。分析句子结构，空处是该句子的谓语动词。由前后文可知时态为一般过去时；主语They指代前文的sme Australian students，和动词shw之间是被动关系，所以要用一般过去时的被动。故答案为were shwn。
【18题详解】
考查介词。句意：必要时我用英语解释。根据提示词English可知，空处填介词in，用某种语言要用介词in。故答案为in。
【19题详解】
考查副词。句意：他们被惊人中国艺术所折服，有些人甚至尝试成功地写了一些汉字。分析句子结构，空处在句子作状语，修饰动词短语 tried writing sme characters ，所以要用其副词形式，即successfully。故答案为successfully。
【20题详解】
考查形容词。句意：为了记住这个愉快的时刻，我们一起拍照，这真的是一个难忘的和有益的活动。分析句子结构，空处后面是名词event，所以该空填形容词，和memrable 作并列定语修饰名词，reward的形容词形式是rewarding，表示“有益的;值得做的”。故答案为rewarding。

If yu analyze peple’s actins, yu will cme t the cnclusin that they all seek happiness. Every act is in fact a search fr it, even if n the surface it desn’t lk s. Happiness is always the main target.
Ging t the mvies, eating in a restaurant and ging t a party are all mtivated by the desire t be happy. Wh des nt dream f a vacatin in sme fascinating lcatins, a new car, a new huse, r the ideal match? All peple daydream, and sme even try t make their dream a reality. And why is that? In rder t be happy!
Many peple endanger themselves by climbing steep muntains, entering unexplred caves, r diving int the deep f the cean in rder t enjy the few mments f happiness. A thief may steal because he lves the thrill f danger, r because he desires t have quick mney t spend. He is actually lking fr happiness, thugh in a perverted way.
Of curse nt all actins end in happiness. The mtive is happiness, but the results d nt always bring the desire. Accrding t sme spiritual traditins, we are spiritual beings in physical bdies. The spiritual part is always happy. Rather, it is happiness itself. But the physical bdy cvers this happiness essence(本质). There is a cnstant desire t find ut this happiness. This is the reasn why happiness is cnstantly sught.
Hwever, there is.n need t search fr happiness r t create it, r t have all kinds f uter experiences and actins in rder t feel it. On the cntrary, everything has t be drpped in rder t experience it. Every technique, which helps t relax the mind and calm the rush f thughts will lead t happiness.
28. Frm the first tw paragraphs, we can learn that______.

B. it is very hard t analyze peple’s actins
C. many things peple d are t attain happiness
Dne shuld act carefully s as nt t shw his purpse

A. illegalB. unfairC. cautiusD. difficult
30. Accrding t the authr, why d peple seek happiness all the time?
A. All actins dn’t result in the expected happiness
B. There is little awareness f the nature f happiness.
C. One’s physical bdy is cntrlled by his spiritual part.
D. Peple arc s greedy that it’s hard t satisfy their desires.
【答案】28. C 29. A 30. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇议论文。文章谈论了幸福的本质。
【28题详解】
推理判断题。通读前两段，尤其根据第二段中“All peple daydream, and sme even try t make their dream a reality. And why is that? In rder t be happy!(所有人都做白日梦，有些人甚至试图让他们的梦想成为现实。为什么呢？为了幸福！)”可知，从前两段，我们可以得知人们做的许多事情是为了获得幸福。故选C项。
【29题详解】
词句猜测题。划线词句前文“A thief may steal because he lves the thrill f danger, r because he desires t have quick mney t spend. (小偷偷窃可能是因为他喜欢危险带来的刺激，或者是因为他想要迅速赚到钱。)”谈论的是小偷进行非法偷窃的原因，从而推知划线词句“He is actually lking fr happiness, thugh in a perverted way. (他其实是在寻找幸福，虽然是以一种perverted方式。)”其中划线词语意思是“非法的”。故选A项。
【30题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中“The spiritual part is always happy. Rather, it is happiness itself. But the physical bdy cvers this happiness essence(本质). There is a cnstant desire t find ut this happiness. This is the reasn why happiness is cnstantly sught. (精神部分总是幸福的。更准确地说，它就是幸福本身。但肉体掩盖了幸福的本质。人们一直渴望找到这种幸福。这就是人们不断寻求幸福的原因。)”可知，人们在寻求幸福时没有意识到幸福的本质所以就一直在寻找幸福。故选B项。

Have yu ever wished yu culd be better rganized r mre sciable? Perhaps yu’re a cnstant wrrier, and yu’d prefer t be a little mre carefree? Actually at least 2/3 f peple wuld like t change sme elements f their persnality. In the past, such desires appeared t be fruitless. One’s persnality was thught t be frmed in childhd and t remain fixed thrughut his entire life.
Recent research frm psychlgy prfessr Nathan Hudsn and his clleagues, hwever, challenges this expectatin f a fixed persnality. With the right psychlgical strategies and enugh effrt, they say, many peple can successfully shape their desired persnality.
Their interventins (干预) typically invlve recmmending regular activities that reflect the persnality traits(特征) peple wish t adpt. Intrverts wh wish t be mre utging, fr example, might have the gal f intrducing themselves t a stranger nce a week, r making small talk with the cashier in the supermarket. Smene wh wishes t be mre rganized and disciplined might be asked t carefully duble-check an email befre sending it, r t write a t-d list befre ging t bed.
While these tasks may seem insignificant, the aim is fr the thinking patterns and behavirs they prduce t becme habitual. And the evidence s far suggests it wrks remarkably well. In ne 15-week trial f 400 peple, participants accepted an average f tw challenges each week. After they cmpleted thse tasks, their traits shifted in the desired directin, accrding t a persnality questinnaire (调查问卷).
The unexpected persnality change shuld be gd news fr anyne wh wishes they were a bit mre sciable, rganized, r happy-g-lucky. Anther ptential benefit is that awareness f this research culd help imprve mental health.
Peple always believe negative feelings are just part f wh they are, and there is little they can d t change them. But what if educating peple abut their ptential fr persnality change culd place them n a mre psitive track? T test this idea, Harvard prfessr f psychlgy, Jhn Weisz, and his partner selected a grup f 100 teenagers wh had previusly shwn signs f anxiety r depressin. They tk a cmputerized curse that explained the science f brain plasticity(可塑性), and were then given wrksheets t strengthen what they had learned.
When Weisz checked in n the teens’ mental health nine mnths later, the students reprted a significant decrease in their anxiety and depressin cmpared with thse wh had instead taken part in a curse n “emtinal expressin”.
Whether yu are struggling with serius issues r simply want t plish ff yur rugher edges, remember that character is within yur wn hands and yu have the pwer t becme what yu want t be.
31. Accrding t the passage, an ld belief abut persnality is that ________.
A. mst peple are satisfied with their persnality
B. sciable r rganized peple are mre ppular
C. childhd has nthing t d with persnality

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一项新的研究发现，该研究表明通过正确的心理策略和足够的努力，许多人可以成功地塑造他们想要的个性。
【31题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第一段“In the past, such desires appeared t be fruitless. One’s persnality was thught t be frmed in childhd and t remain fixed thrughut his entire life.(在过去，这样的愿望似乎是徒劳的。一个人的个性被认为是在童年时期形成的，并在他的一生中保持不变。)”可知，关于个性，过去人们总是认为那是在童年时期形成的，并保持不变。故选D。
【32题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第四段“While these tasks may seem insignificant, the aim is fr the thinking patterns and behavirs they prduce t becme habitual. And the evidence s far suggests it wrks remarkably well. In ne 15-week trial f 400 peple, participants accepted an average f tw challenges each week. After they cmpleted thse tasks, their traits shifted in the desired directin, accrding t a persnality questinnaire (调查问卷).(虽然这些任务看起来微不足道，但目标是让他们产生的思维模式和行为成为习惯。迄今为止的证据表明，它的效果非常好。在一项有400人参加的为期15周的试验中，参与者平均每周接受两次挑战。根据一份性格调查问卷显示，在他们完成这些任务后，他们的性格会朝着预期的方向转变。)”可知，在Nathan的研究中，参与者形成了新的思维模式和行为。故选B。

【34题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第二段“Recent research frm psychlgy prfessr Nathan Hudsn and his clleagues, hwever, challenges this expectatin f a fixed persnality. With the right psychlgical strategies and enugh effrt, they say, many peple can successfully shape their desired persnality.(然而，心理学教授Nathan Hudsn和他的同事最近的研究挑战了这种固定性格的预期。他们说，通过正确的心理策略和足够的努力，许多人可以成功地塑造他们想要的个性。)”以及文章最后一段“Whether yu are struggling with serius issues r simply want t plish ff yur rugher edges, remember that character is within yur wn hands and yu have the pwer t becme what yu want t be.(无论你是在与严肃的问题作斗争，还是只是想擦亮自己的锋芒，记住，性格掌握在你自己手中，你有能力成为你想成为的人。)”可知，本文主要介绍的是个性并不是一成不变的，我们可以通过正确的心理策略和足够的努力成功地塑造我们想要的个性。故选B。

【35题详解】
根据前后：年轻人觉得与父母在一起感到不舒适，下面均是年轻人的种种想法，故主语应该是“yung peple”开头，且从下句也可得到暗示“他们认为父母与现代生活失去了联系，对他们管教太严，不给他们自由空间”。可知C项“年轻人容易冲动，而且不经思考去做事”符合语境。故选C项。
【36题详解】
根据上句：父母觉得赢得孩子的信任很难；空格下句：这是展示他们已经长大并且能面对困境的方法之一。也就是说年轻人的逆反心理。可知G选项“那就是为什么年轻人想创造自己的新文化”符合语境。故选G。
【37题详解】

【38题详解】
根据上句：有时候你因为你自己而自豪，结果你不想让你的父母对你做的事情说“yes”。可知E选项“你想要的全部就是做你喜欢做的事情”符合语境。故选E。

【学法指导】七选五阅读题，有部分题出现在每一段的开始位置，若问题在段首 1.通常是段落主题句。认真阅读该段落，根据段落一致性原则，查找相关词或者同义词，从而推测出主题句，找到答案。 2.与后文是并列、转折、因果关系等。着重阅读后文第一两句，锁定线索信号词，然后在选项中查找相关特征词。一般来说正确答案与它后面的一句话的在意思上是衔接的，所以通常情况下，这两句话中会有某种的衔接手段。3.段落间的过渡句。这时要前瞻后望找到启示，即阅读上一段结尾部分，通常正确答案与上一段结尾有机地衔接起来，并结合下一段内容，看所选的答案是否将两段内容连贯起来。比如第5小题，F根据下句：如果你的父母看到你有责任感，他们将给你做事情的权力。可知上F选项“如果你想控制你的生活，你要赢得你父母的同意”符合语境。故选F。

Year f Giving
Yesterday I started the Year f Giving, my first day f a year-lng jurney int explring the act f giving and the meaning f charity. I chse December IS as the starting date, which marked three years since my mther died frm heart disease. She was ne f the mst generus peple that I have ever knwn. She always thught f thers first and certainly serves as an inspiratin t me.
I had a rattier busy day yesterday, irnic (具有讽刺意义的) fr smene wh is unemplyed right nw. In the mrning I went t the gym, and unsuccessfully gt the phne call frm the unemplyment ffice fr sme jb searching. Befre I knew it, it was nn. I grabbed a quick lunch and rushed dwn t a meeting. On my way t Cnnecticut, I wndered if I wuld see smene that I wuld feel frced t give my first $10 t. I was running late and decided t d it afterwards.
After the meeting I had abut half an hur t find the first persn f my Year f Giving! I decided t check ut Dupnt Circle. I had met a guy there named Jerry nce and thught he wuld willingly accept my first $10. He wasn’t there, but I did see a man sitting by himself wh lked really lnely, s I apprached him. Nw I had t figure ut what I was ging t say. I think I said smething like “Hi, can I sit dwn here?” “I wuld like t knw if I culd give yu $10?” He asked me t repeat what I had said. I did, then he lked at me funny, gt up and left
I then started walking suth where I sptted a man standing by the bus stp n Cnnecticut Ave. He appeared t be in his 60s. I dn’t knw what drew me t him, but I thught I wuld make my secnd attempt. I was a bit nervus and asked him which bus came by that stp. Then I explained that I was starting a year-lng prject t give $10 t smene every day and that I wanted t give my $10 fr tday t him. The gentleman, I later fund ut that his name was Ed, respnded withut hesitatin that he culd nt accept my ffer and that there were many peple mre deserving the mney than him. This was exactly ne f the that I hped wuld happen. Peple wuld think f thers befre themselves!
24. The authr set the starting date n December 15 t ________ .
A. help the charityB. make an explratin
C. remember his mtherD. fulfill the wish f his mum
25. In the authr’s first attempt t give away the mney, ________ .

If yu analyze peple’s actins, yu will cme t the cnclusin that they all seek happiness. Every act is in fact a search fr it, even if n the surface it desn’t lk s. Happiness is always the main target.
Ging t the mvies, eating in a restaurant and ging t a party are all mtivated by the desire t be happy. Wh des nt dream f a vacatin in sme fascinating lcatins, a new car, a new huse, r the ideal match? All peple daydream, and sme even try t make their dream a reality. And why is that? In rder t be happy!
Many peple endanger themselves by climbing steep muntains, entering unexplred caves, r diving int the deep f the cean in rder t enjy the few mments f happiness. A thief may steal because he lves the thrill f danger, r because he desires t have quick mney t spend. He is actually lking fr happiness, thugh in a perverted way.
Of curse nt all actins end in happiness. The mtive is happiness, but the results d nt always bring the desire. Accrding t sme spiritual traditins, we are spiritual beings in physical bdies. The spiritual part is always happy. Rather, it is happiness itself. But the physical bdy cvers this happiness essence(本质). There is a cnstant desire t find ut this happiness. This is the reasn why happiness is cnstantly sught.
Hwever, there is.n need t search fr happiness r t create it, r t have all kinds f uter experiences and actins in rder t feel it. On the cntrary, everything has t be drpped in rder t experience it. Every technique, which helps t relax the mind and calm the rush f thughts will lead t happiness.
28. Frm the first tw paragraphs, we can learn that______.
A. happiness is a daydream
B. it is very hard t analyze peple’s actins
C. many things peple d are t attain happiness
D. ne shuld act carefully s as nt t shw his purpse
29. The underlined wrd “perverted” in Paragraph 3 mst likely means
A. illegalB. unfairC. cautiusD. difficult
30. Accrding t the authr, why d peple seek happiness all the time?
A. All actins dn’t result in the expected happiness
B. There is little awareness f the nature f happiness.
C. One’s physical bdy is cntrlled by his spiritual part.
D. Peple arc s greedy that it’s hard t satisfy their desires.
D
Have yu ever wished yu culd be better rganized r mre sciable? Perhaps yu’re a cnstant wrrier, and yu’d prefer t be a little mre carefree? Actually at least 2/3 f peple wuld like t change sme elements f their persnality. In the past, such desires appeared t be fruitless. One’s persnality was thught t be frmed in childhd and t remain fixed thrughut his entire life.
Recent research frm psychlgy prfessr Nathan Hudsn and his clleagues, hwever, challenges this expectatin f a fixed persnality. With the right psychlgical strategies and enugh effrt, they say, many peple can successfully shape their desired persnality.
Their interventins (干预) typically invlve recmmending regular activities that reflect the persnality traits(特征) peple wish t adpt. Intrverts wh wish t be mre utging, fr example, might have the gal f intrducing themselves t a stranger nce a week, r making small talk with the cashier in the supermarket. Smene wh wishes t be mre rganized and disciplined might be asked t carefully duble-check an email befre sending it, r t write a t-d list befre ging t bed.
While these tasks may seem insignificant, the aim is fr the thinking patterns and behavirs they prduce t becme habitual. And the evidence s far suggests it wrks remarkably well. In ne 15-week trial f 400 peple, participants accepted an average f tw challenges each week. After they cmpleted thse tasks, their traits shifted in the desired directin, accrding t a persnality questinnaire (调查问卷).
The unexpected persnality change shuld be gd news fr anyne wh wishes they were a bit mre sciable, rganized, r happy-g-lucky. Anther ptential benefit is that awareness f this research culd help imprve mental health.
Peple always believe negative feelings are just part f wh they are, and there is little they can d t change them. But what if educating peple abut their ptential fr persnality change culd place them n a mre psitive track? T test this idea, Harvard prfessr f psychlgy, Jhn Weisz, and his partner selected a grup f 100 teenagers wh had previusly shwn signs f anxiety r depressin. They tk a cmputerized curse that explained the science f brain plasticity(可塑性), and were then given wrksheets t strengthen what they had learned.
When Weisz checked in n the teens’ mental health nine mnths later, the students reprted a significant decrease in their anxiety and depressin cmpared with thse wh had instead taken part in a curse n “emtinal expressin”.
Whether yu are struggling with serius issues r simply want t plish ff yur rugher edges, remember that character is within yur wn hands and yu have the pwer t becme what yu want t be.
31. Accrding t the passage, an ld belief abut persnality is that ________.
A. mst peple are satisfied with their persnality
B. sciable r rganized peple are mre ppular
C. childhd has nthing t d with persnality
D. peple can’t change their persnality traits

【18题详解】

If yu analyze peple’s actins, yu will cme t the cnclusin that they all seek happiness. Every act is in fact a search fr it, even if n the surface it desn’t lk s. Happiness is always the main target.
Ging t the mvies, eating in a restaurant and ging t a party are all mtivated by the desire t be happy. Wh des nt dream f a vacatin in sme fascinating lcatins, a new car, a new huse, r the ideal match? All peple daydream, and sme even try t make their dream a reality. And why is that? In rder t be happy!
Many peple endanger themselves by climbing steep muntains, entering unexplred caves, r diving int the deep f the cean in rder t enjy the few mments f happiness. A thief may steal because he lves the thrill f danger, r because he desires t have quick mney t spend. He is actually lking fr happiness, thugh in a perverted way.
Of curse nt all actins end in happiness. The mtive is happiness, but the results d nt always bring the desire. Accrding t sme spiritual traditins, we are spiritual beings in physical bdies. The spiritual part is always happy. Rather, it is happiness itself. But the physical bdy cvers this happiness essence(本质). There is a cnstant desire t find ut this happiness. This is the reasn why happiness is cnstantly sught.
Hwever, there is.n need t search fr happiness r t create it, r t have all kinds f uter experiences and actins in rder t feel it. On the cntrary, everything has t be drpped in rder t experience it. Every technique, which helps t relax the mind and calm the rush f thughts will lead t happiness.

A. All actins dn’t result in the expected happiness
B. There is little awareness f the nature f happiness.
C. One’s physical bdy is cntrlled by his spiritual part.
D. Peple arc s greedy that it’s hard t satisfy their desires.
【答案】28. C 29. A 30. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇议论文。文章谈论了幸福的本质。
【28题详解】
推理判断题。通读前两段，尤其根据第二段中“All peple daydream, and sme even try t make their dream a reality. And why is that? In rder t be happy!(所有人都做白日梦，有些人甚至试图让他们的梦想成为现实。为什么呢？为了幸福！)”可知，从前两段，我们可以得知人们做的许多事情是为了获得幸福。故选C项。
【29题详解】
词句猜测题。划线词句前文“A thief may steal because he lves the thrill f danger, r because he desires t have quick mney t spend. (小偷偷窃可能是因为他喜欢危险带来的刺激，或者是因为他想要迅速赚到钱。)”谈论的是小偷进行非法偷窃的原因，从而推知划线词句“He is actually lking fr happiness, thugh in a perverted way. (他其实是在寻找幸福，虽然是以一种perverted方式。)”其中划线词语意思是“非法的”。故选A项。
【30题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中“The spiritual part is always happy. Rather, it is happiness itself. But the physical bdy cvers this happiness essence(本质). There is a cnstant desire t find ut this happiness. This is the reasn why happiness is cnstantly sught. (精神部分总是幸福的。更准确地说，它就是幸福本身。但肉体掩盖了幸福的本质。人们一直渴望找到这种幸福。这就是人们不断寻求幸福的原因。)”可知，人们在寻求幸福时没有意识到幸福的本质所以就一直在寻找幸福。故选B项。

Have yu ever wished yu culd be better rganized r mre sciable? Perhaps yu’re a cnstant wrrier, and yu’d prefer t be a little mre carefree? Actually at least 2/3 f peple wuld like t change sme elements f their persnality. In the past, such desires appeared t be fruitless. One’s persnality was thught t be frmed in childhd and t remain fixed thrughut his entire life.
Recent research frm psychlgy prfessr Nathan Hudsn and his clleagues, hwever, challenges this expectatin f a fixed persnality. With the right psychlgical strategies and enugh effrt, they say, many peple can successfully shape their desired persnality.
Their interventins (干预) typically invlve recmmending regular activities that reflect the persnality traits(特征) peple wish t adpt. Intrverts wh wish t be mre utging, fr example, might have the gal f intrducing themselves t a stranger nce a week, r making small talk with the cashier in the supermarket. Smene wh wishes t be mre rganized and disciplined might be asked t carefully duble-check an email befre sending it, r t write a t-d list befre ging t bed.
While these tasks may seem insignificant, the aim is fr the thinking patterns and behavirs they prduce t becme habitual. And the evidence s far suggests it wrks remarkably well. In ne 15-week trial f 400 peple, participants accepted an average f tw challenges each week. After they cmpleted thse tasks, their traits shifted in the desired directin, accrding t a persnality questinnaire (调查问卷).
The unexpected persnality change shuld be gd news fr anyne wh wishes they were a bit mre sciable, rganized, r happy-g-lucky. Anther ptential benefit is that awareness f this research culd help imprve mental health.
Peple always believe negative feelings are just part f wh they are, and there is little they can d t change them. But what if educating peple abut their ptential fr persnality change culd place them n a mre psitive track? T test this idea, Harvard prfessr f psychlgy, Jhn Weisz, and his partner selected a grup f 100 teenagers wh had previusly shwn signs f anxiety r depressin. They tk a cmputerized curse that explained the science f brain plasticity(可塑性), and were then given wrksheets t strengthen what they had learned.
When Weisz checked in n the teens’ mental health nine mnths later, the students reprted a significant decrease in their anxiety and depressin cmpared with thse wh had instead taken part in a curse n “emtinal expressin”.
Whether yu are struggling with serius issues r simply want t plish ff yur rugher edges, remember that character is within yur wn hands and yu have the pwer t becme what yu want t be.
31. Accrding t the passage, an ld belief abut persnality is that ________.
A. mst peple are satisfied with their persnality

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一项新的研究发现，该研究表明通过正确的心理策略和足够的努力，许多人可以成功地塑造他们想要的个性。
【31题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第一段“In the past, such desires appeared t be fruitless. One’s persnality was thught t be frmed in childhd and t remain fixed thrughut his entire life.(在过去，这样的愿望似乎是徒劳的。一个人的个性被认为是在童年时期形成的，并在他的一生中保持不变。)”可知，关于个性，过去人们总是认为那是在童年时期形成的，并保持不变。故选D。
【32题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第四段“While these tasks may seem insignificant, the aim is fr the thinking patterns and behavirs they prduce t becme habitual. And the evidence s far suggests it wrks remarkably well. In ne 15-week trial f 400 peple, participants accepted an average f tw challenges each week. After they cmpleted thse tasks, their traits shifted in the desired directin, accrding t a persnality questinnaire (调查问卷).(虽然这些任务看起来微不足道，但目标是让他们产生的思维模式和行为成为习惯。迄今为止的证据表明，它的效果非常好。在一项有400人参加的为期15周的试验中，参与者平均每周接受两次挑战。根据一份性格调查问卷显示，在他们完成这些任务后，他们的性格会朝着预期的方向转变。)”可知，在Nathan的研究中，参与者形成了新的思维模式和行为。故选B。

【34题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第二段“Recent research frm psychlgy prfessr Nathan Hudsn and his clleagues, hwever, challenges this expectatin f a fixed persnality. With the right psychlgical strategies and enugh effrt, they say, many peple can successfully shape their desired persnality.(然而，心理学教授Nathan Hudsn和他的同事最近的研究挑战了这种固定性格的预期。他们说，通过正确的心理策略和足够的努力，许多人可以成功地塑造他们想要的个性。)”以及文章最后一段“Whether yu are struggling with serius issues r simply want t plish ff yur rugher edges, remember that character is within yur wn hands and yu have the pwer t becme what yu want t be.(无论你是在与严肃的问题作斗争，还是只是想擦亮自己的锋芒，记住，性格掌握在你自己手中，你有能力成为你想成为的人。)”可知，本文主要介绍的是个性并不是一成不变的，我们可以通过正确的心理策略和足够的努力成功地塑造我们想要的个性。故选B。

根据上句：父母觉得赢得孩子的信任很难；空格下句：这是展示他们已经长大并且能面对困境的方法之一。也就是说年轻人的逆反心理。可知G选项“那就是为什么年轻人想创造自己的新文化”符合语境。故选G。
【37题详解】
根据空格前面：但是他们并不意味这引起任何麻烦，它只是表明他们觉得切断了与成人的世界，他们还没有被接受进入老人的世界。可知，A选项“父母应该理解年轻人”符合句意。故选A项。
【38题详解】
根据上句：有时候你因为你自己而自豪，结果你不想让你的父母对你做的事情说“yes”。可知E选项“你想要的全部就是做你喜欢做的事情”符合语境。故选E。

【学法指导】七选五阅读题，有部分题出现在每一段的开始位置，若问题在段首 1.通常是段落主题句。认真阅读该段落，根据段落一致性原则，查找相关词或者同义词，从而推测出主题句，找到答案。 2.与后文是并列、转折、因果关系等。着重阅读后文第一两句，锁定线索信号词，然后在选项中查找相关特征词。一般来说正确答案与它后面的一句话的在意思上是衔接的，所以通常情况下，这两句话中会有某种的衔接手段。3.段落间的过渡句。这时要前瞻后望找到启示，即阅读上一段结尾部分，通常正确答案与上一段结尾有机地衔接起来，并结合下一段内容，看所选的答案是否将两段内容连贯起来。比如第5小题，F根据下句：如果你的父母看到你有责任感，他们将给你做事情的权力。可知上F选项“如果你想控制你的生活，你要赢得你父母的同意”符合语境。故选F。
