If yu seek happiness, then yu need t knw what happiness is fr yu. I dn’t believe there is ne universal definitin f happiness. Happiness is a very subjective emtin, accrding t me. Put tw peple in identical situatin: same amunt f mney, life experiences, etc. and yu can be pretty sure that they bth wuldn’t feel equally happy r equally sad. I believe this is s because there are tw kinds f happiness. There is ne kind f happiness, which is kind f universal and then there is the ther kind, which is very individual t each ne f us. It is this kind f happiness that I find mre interesting.
The secnd kind f happiness that I talk abut cmes frm ur expectatins ut f ur lives, which vary frm persn t persn. Fr example, a persn wh expects a lt ut f his r her life may find that happiness is hard t find. They are cnstantly in search f these things in life, which always seem t elude (逃避) them. Thse things may be mney r fame r pwer r any f the ther pursuits (追求) that humans have, but it wuld be likely that such peple are less likely t be happy, if their gals are nt met. In mst cases, even after their gals are met, they dn’t find happiness, because they seek mre—new gals, new wish lists, and it’s a seemingly never-ending prcess fr them!
On the ther hand, a persn wh takes life as it cmes alng and makes the best f each day is mre likely t be happy every day. They have n pressure r gals t ccupy their minds and they can achieve happiness frm the simple pleasures f everyday life, finding lve, making time fr the family and kids, seeing their kids grw, etc. Of curse, that desn’t mean that yu shuldn’t have any expectatins at all. Yu shuld keep thse expectatins reasnable and manageable.
41 Which f the fllwing is the authr’s pinin accrding t Paragraph 1?
A. Happiness has ne universal definitin.
B. Every individual has his wn happiness.
C. There are n peple wh are really happy.
D Happiness means having mney and pwer.
42. What des the underlined part “these things” in Paragraph 2 prbably refer t?
A. Daily demands.B. Life experiences.
C. Ideas abut happiness.D. Expectatins ut f life.
43. Even if their gals are met, sme peple still dn’t feel happy because _________.
A. they gave t much fr their gals
B. they dn’t knw what happiness is
C. they have new gals that need achieving
D. they think sadness is a never-ending prcess
44. What kind f persn is likely t be happy in the authr’s pinin?
A. He wh has few expectatins.B. He wh has n pressure r gals.
C. He wh has a great ambitin r dream.D. He wh can find fun frm his daily life.

T grw sugary dates in the sand, Siwa’s farmers must first make the desert suitable fr farming. An asis (绿洲) in Egypt, Siwa has been hme t humans fr thusands f years. Since ancient times, the asis has hsted farms prducing sme f the mst valuable dates in Egypt, and sugary dates have appeared n Egyptians, tables.
The desert envirnment in Siwa is nt quite fit fr plants t grw. Fr example, the water there cntains much salt. Hwever, with lcal peple’s effrts, the Siwa asis cntains cmplex agricultural fields, where date trees, crps and ther plants grw in harmny. That impressed me a lt during my visit t the asis. T make a new piece f field, farmers first remve the tp sil and replace it with a mixture f sand and waste matter frm animals. The first plants are medicinal plants. Then, farmers plant date trees and live trees. These farming skills are passed dwn frm generatin t generatin.
T grw date trees is demanding. And it takes 10 years fr a new date tree t mature, but nce it des, the tree prduces generus fruit: arund 110 punds f dates per year. Each farmer picks dates with the skilled hands. They climb the trees using nthing mre than a belt. In ttal, Siwa grws mre than 25,000 tns f dates frm 280,000 trees per year.
The dates can be eaten fresh, r made dry. Every part f the date tree is significant in Siwa, frm leaves made int beds and bxes t wd used t build huses. And then, f curse, there’s the fruit itself. The dates can be cked with gat meat r mixed with eggs fr breakfast. They can als be mixed with flur, water, and live il, and biled slwly t make a lcal dessert.
Lcal farmers nce develped many unique date varieties, which their camels carried t Cair. But later many f thse varieties perished. And tday nly several majr varieties remain and sme have becme quite rare and been at risk. The 1985 cnstructin f a rad in the asis made the survival f lcal agricultural traditin even tugher.

If yu seek happiness, then yu need t knw what happiness is fr yu. I dn’t believe there is ne universal definitin f happiness. Happiness is a very subjective emtin, accrding t me. Put tw peple in identical situatin: same amunt f mney, life experiences, etc. and yu can be pretty sure that they bth wuldn’t feel equally happy r equally sad. I believe this is s because there are tw kinds f happiness. There is ne kind f happiness, which is kind f universal and then there is the ther kind, which is very individual t each ne f us. It is this kind f happiness that I find mre interesting.
The secnd kind f happiness that I talk abut cmes frm ur expectatins ut f ur lives, which vary frm persn t persn. Fr example, a persn wh expects a lt ut f his r her life may find that happiness is hard t find. They are cnstantly in search f these things in life, which always seem t elude (逃避) them. Thse things may be mney r fame r pwer r any f the ther pursuits (追求) that humans have, but it wuld be likely that such peple are less likely t be happy, if their gals are nt met. In mst cases, even after their gals are met, they dn’t find happiness, because they seek mre—new gals, new wish lists, and it’s a seemingly never-ending prcess fr them!
On the ther hand, a persn wh takes life as it cmes alng and makes the best f each day is mre likely t be happy every day. They have n pressure r gals t ccupy their minds and they can achieve happiness frm the simple pleasures f everyday life, finding lve, making time fr the family and kids, seeing their kids grw, etc. Of curse, that desn’t mean that yu shuldn’t have any expectatins at all. Yu shuld keep thse expectatins reasnable and manageable.

推理判断题。由第一段中的“I dn’t believe there is ne universal definitin f happiness. Happiness is a very subjective emtin, accrding t me. (我不相信幸福有一个普遍的定义。根据我的说法，幸福是一种非常主观的情感)”可推知，作者认为幸福很主观，所以每个人都有自己的幸福。故选B项。
【42题详解】
词句猜测题。由第二段中的“The secnd kind f happiness that I talk abut cmes frm ur expectatins ut f ur lives, which vary frm persn t persn. Fr example, a persn wh expects a lt ut f his r her life may find that happiness is hard t find. They are cnstantly in search f these things in life, which always seem t elude (逃避) them. (我所说的第二种幸福来自我们对生活的期望，这种期望因人而异。例如，一个对自己的生活抱有很大期望的人可能会发现很难找到幸福。他们在生活中不断地寻找these things，而这些东西似乎总是逃避他们)”可知，人们对生活有太多期望是难以找到幸福的，可得出these things指代上文提到的“对生活的期望”。故选D项。
【43题详解】
细节理解题。由第二段中的“In mst cases, even after their gals are met, they dn’t find happiness, because they seek mre—new gals, new wish lists, and it’s a seemingly never-ending prcess fr them! (在大多数情况下，即使他们的目标实现了，他们也找不到幸福，因为他们寻求更多的新目标、新的愿望清单，这对他们来说似乎是一个永无止境的过程！)”可知，即使他们的目标实现了，有些人仍然不快乐，是因为他们有需要实现的新目标要完成。故选C项。

【45题详解】
推理判断题。由第一段中的“here is ne kind f happiness, which is kind f universal and then there is the ther kind, which is very individual t each ne f us. It is this kind f happiness that I find mre interesting. (有一种幸福是普遍的，还有另一种幸福，对我们每个人来说都很独特。正是这种幸福让我觉得更有趣)”和第三段中的“On the ther hand, a persn wh takes life as it cmes alng and makes the best f each day is mre likely t be happy every day. They have n pressure r gals t ccupy their minds and they can achieve happiness frm the simple pleasures f everyday life, finding lve, making time fr the family and kids, seeing their kids grw, etc. (另一方面，一个对生活随遇而安并充分利用每一天的人更有可能每天都快乐。他们没有压力或目标来占据他们的思想，他们可以从日常生活的简单乐趣中获得快乐，找到爱，为家人和孩子腾出时间，看着孩子成长等等)”可知，作者认为一个对生活随遇而安并充分利用每一天、能从日常生活中找到乐趣的人更有可能每天幸福。由此推知，作者告诉读者要随遇而安，尽情享受每一天，去感受幸福。故选C项。

Lcal farmers nce develped many unique date varieties, which their camels carried t Cair. But later many f thse varieties perished. And tday nly several majr varieties remain and sme have becme quite rare and been at risk. The 1985 cnstructin f a rad in the asis made the survival f lcal agricultural traditin even tugher.

【51题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“TikTk is setting a 60-minute daily screen time limit fr users wh are aged under 18. The vide app, which is wned by Chinese firm ByteDance, said it is intrducing the feature t encurage teens t manage their screen time. TikTk added that the new limit cmes after it brught in a prmpt (提示符) last year, which helped increase the use f their screen time tls by 234%.(TikTk为18岁以下的用户设置了每天60分钟的屏幕时间限制。这款视频应用由中国字节跳动公司所有，该公司表示，推出这一功能是为了鼓励青少年管理他们的屏幕时间。TikTk补充说，新的限制是在去年引入提示符之后出台的，这使得他们的屏幕时间工具的使用率增加了234%)”可知，在第一段中，TikTk引入了新的屏幕时间限制，以帮助青少年控制自己的使用。故选C。
【52题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Hitting the limit, users affected will receive a new passcde n the screen in their app t unlck extra time.(达到限制后，受影响的用户将在其应用程序的屏幕上收到一个新密码，以解锁额外的时间)”可知，当18岁以下的用户达到屏幕使用时间限制时，他们必须输入密码才能继续使用应用程序。故选C。
【53题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段““Since there’s n agreement n the ‘right’ amunt f screen time, we cnsulted the current academic research and experts frm the Digital Wellness Lab at Bstn Children’s Hspital in chsing this limit,” he said.(他说：“由于对屏幕时间的‘正确’量没有一致意见，我们咨询了目前的学术研究和波士顿儿童医院数字健康实验室的专家，选择了这个限制。”)”可知，TikTk通过寻求专家建议开发新的限制。故选A。
【54题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“Critics f the vide app welcmed the screen time limit”以及后文“when it cmes t TikTk’s respnse t yung users’ expsure t the platfrm”可知，这款视频应用的批评者对屏幕时间限制表示欢迎，但在TikTk对年轻用户接触该平台的反应方面，他们称这只是“保护青少年在TikTk上安全的行动不足”的其中一个问题。后文也提到了13岁女孩收到了饮食失调和自我伤害的内容，故划线词意思是“保护青少年在TikTk上安全的行动不足”。故选A。
【55题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Mr Ahmed said his centre’s research at the end f last year fund that within minutes f pening a TikTk accunt, a 13-year-ld girl user was receiving eating disrder and self-harm cntent in her feed. He called n the platfrm t fcus its effrts nt just n limiting screen time, but als t “clean up” feeds f harmful cntent t make it a “safe envirnment fr children”.(艾哈迈德表示，他的中心去年年底的研究发现，一名13岁的女孩用户在开通TikTk账户的几分钟内，就收到了饮食失调和自我伤害的内容。他呼吁该平台不仅要集中精力限制屏幕时间，还要“清理”有害内容，使其成为“儿童的安全环境”)”可推知，TikTk很受欢迎，但对青少年来说不够安全。故选D。

【分析】这是一篇记叙文。作者16岁时在装饰圣诞树时，意外地打碎了一个旧的玻璃球。发现了玻璃球里的纸条，纸条是父亲在作者出生前写的，是父母亲一起过的第一个圣诞节。作者这才发现父亲是一个很浪漫的人，父母之间有着深深的爱，而这种爱也影响着认识他们的每一个。
【56题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中的The Christmas f my 16th, when decrating the Christmas tree with Mum, I accidentally drpped and brke an ld glass ball.可知，在我16岁的那个圣诞节，在装饰圣诞树时，我意外地打碎了一个旧的玻璃球。由此可知，作者在装饰圣诞树时，意外地打碎了一个旧的玻璃球。文中没有提及作者的性别。故答案为He/She/The authr accidentally drpped and brke an ld glass ball.。
【57题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段的“Yur Daddy wrte that and put it in that blue ball during ur first Christmas tgether, just befre yu were brn,” she said.可知，她说：“你爸爸写了这个纸条，在我们第一个圣诞节的时候，是在你出生之前，把它放进那个蓝色的球里。”由此可知，纸条被放进球里是在作者出生之前。故答案为Befre the authr was brn./ During the authr’s parents’first Christmas tgether. 。
【58题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中And yet this bit f yellwed paper prved that lng ag my Daddy had dne smething rmantic at Christmas.可知，然而，这一张泛黄的纸证明，很久以前，在圣诞节爸爸做了一些浪漫的事情。由此可知，这些泛黄的纸证明了很久之前，父亲是一个很浪漫的人。故答案为He had dne smething rmantic at Christmas /He was a rmantic man. /He was rmantic.。
【59题详解】
词义猜测题。根据划线词后的Yu needn’t fit the parts f the ld glass ball tgether again.可知，你不必再把旧玻璃球的零件装在一起了。这是作者的妈妈告诉他的话，说明这原本是作者想做的事，所以wishing后的宾语从句是作者要做的事，这就是划线词的意思。故答案为Fit/Put the parts f the ld glass ball tgether again.。
【60题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章最后一句I lve yu.可知，这就是作者这篇文章要表达的观点：要对你的家人表达爱，所以回答时只要表达对父母的爱，为正能量的，就可以。故答案为Yes, I d. I give them small gifts n their birthdays, ring them ften and help them with husewrk.。
