Ⅱ.阅读理解
Do you want to live with a strong sense of peacefulness,happiness,goodness,and selfrespect? The collection of happiness actions broadly categorized as “honor” helps you create this life of good feelings.
Here's an example to show how honorable actions create happiness.
Say a store clerk fails to charge us for an item.If we keep silent,and profit from the clerk's mistake,we would drive home with a sense of sneaky (偷偷摸摸的) excitement.Later we might tell our family or friends about our good fortune.On the other hand,if we tell the clerk about the uncharged item,the clerk would be grateful and thank us for our honesty.We would leave the store with a quiet sense of honor that we might never share with another soul.
Then,what is it to do with our sense of happiness?
In the first case,where we don't tell the clerk,a couple of things would happen.Deep down inside we would know ourselves as a type of thief.In the progress,we would lose some peace of mind and selfrespect.We would also demonstrate (证明) that we cannot be trusted,since we advertise our dishonor by telling our family and friends.We damage our own reputations by telling others.In contrast,bringing the error to the clerk's attention causes different things to happen.Immediately the clerk knows us to be honorable.Upon leaving the store,we feel honorable and our selfrespect is increased.Whenever we take honorable action we gain the deep internal rewards of goodness and a sense of nobility.
There is a beautiful positive cycle that is created by living a life of honorable actions.Honorable thoughts lead to honorable actions.Honorable actions lead us to a happier existence.And it's easy to think and act honorably again when we're happy.While the positive cycle can be difficult to start,once it's started,it's easy to continue.Keeping on doing good deeds brings us peace of mind,which is important for our happiness.
16.According to the passage,the positive action in the example contributes to our ________.
A.selfrespect
B.financial rewards
C.advertising ability
D. friendly relationship
17.The author thinks that keeping silent about the uncharged item is equal to ________.
A.lying
B.stealing
C.cheating
D. advertising
18.The phrase “bringing the error to the clerk's attention” (in Para.5) means ________.
A.telling the truth to the clerk
B.offering advice to the clerk
C.asking the clerk to be more attentive
D. reminding the clerk of the charged item
19.How will we feel if we let the clerk know her mistake?
A.We'll be very excited.
B.We'll feel unfortunate.
C.We'll have a sense of honor.
D. We'll feel sorry for the clerk.
20.Which of the following can be the best title of this passage?
A.How to Live Truthfully.
B.Importance of Peacefulness.
C.Ways of Gaining Selfrespect.
D. Happiness through Honorable Actions.
Ⅲ.任务型阅读
请认真阅读下列短文,并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。
注意:每个空格只填1个单词。
Most people feel lonely sometimes,but it usually only lasts between a few minutes and a few hours.This kind of loneliness is not serious.In fact,it is quite normal.For some people,though,loneliness can last for years.Now researchers say there are three different types of loneliness.
The first kind of loneliness is temporary.This is the most common type.It usually disappears quickly and does not require any special attention.The second kind,situation—for example,family problem,the death of a loved one,or moving to a new place.Although this kind of loneliness can cause physical problems,such as headaches and sleeplessness,it usually does not last for more than a year.
The third kind of loneliness is the most severe.Unlike the second type,chronic(the opposite of “temporary”)usually lasts more than two years and has no specific cause.People who experience habitual loneliness have problems socializing and becoming close to others.Unfortunately,many chronically lonely people think there is little or nothing they can do to improve their condition.
Psychologists agree that one important factor in loneliness is a person's social contacts,for example,friends,family members,coworkers,etc.We depend on various people for different reasons.For instance,our families give us emotional support,our parents and teachers give us guidance,and our friends share similar interests and activities.However,psychologists have found that,though lonely people may have many social contacts,they sometimes feel they should have more.They question their popularity.
Psychologists are trying to find ways to help habitually lonely people for two reasons: they are unhappy and unable to socialize and there is a connection between chronic loneliness and serious illness as heart disease,while temporary and situational loneliness can be a sad,and sometimes dangerous condition.

for finding ways to help the lonely people

课时作业(十七)
Ⅰ.1.A keep sb. company意为 “陪伴某人”。
2.D whichever意思是 “无论哪个,无论哪些”,后面可以跟of短语,而whoever后不能跟of短语。故D项正确。
3.D 句意为:实践出真知。apart from 脱离开;in addition to 除了……之外;because of 由于;except for 除……之外。
4.A 本句考查条件状语从句。从句中用一般现在时表将来。
5.D 考查独立主格结构作状语。此句中all her time是逻辑主语,time与devote之间是被动关系,构成devote all her time to doing...结构。
6.B 句意为:那些新来者发现适应那儿的气候是非常重要的。adapt oneself to在此处是“使自己适应”的意思;adopt 采用;fit 适合;match 相配,均不符合句意。
7.A 考查介词短语辨析。in turn表示“转而,反过来,依次,轮流地”;in particular表示 “尤其,特别”;in advance表示 “在前头,预先,事先”;in short表示“简而言之,总之”。根据句意“维生素D有助于身体产生一种特殊的化学物质,这种特殊的化学物质反过来又影响我们的大脑,使我们开心起来”可知,本题选A。
8.D when在句中表示“如果”,有if的含义。句意为:如果你从不听讲,你还想学什么东西呢?答案选D。
9.A
10.C 考查连词的用法。句意为“有很多因素导致美国人和全世界的人迅速发胖,但是他们的饮食成分改变是首要原因。”前后两个分句是转折含义,空后没有逗号的出现,故选C。本题如果误选其他答案,是对这个长句没理解。
11.B 考查同位语从句的用法。由于句中出现插入语,导致判断失误。可以把句子语序调整为“But believe it or not,I still remember the story _______we got lost on a rainy day”,这样就容易判断出“________ we got lost on a rainy day”是解释story的具体内容,是同位语从句,不是定语从句,可以排除A和D。同位语从句句子成分齐全,所以选择B。本题容易误选其他答案,主要是对句子结构没分析到位。本题稍难。
12.C 考查动名词的用法。本句语序不是正常语序,状语从句插入到动词help之后,不容易判断,正常语序是“She couldn't help _______ at the strange clothes her friend was wearing even though she tried not to”,这样就容易判断了,can't help doing sth.“情不自禁做某事”,故选C。本题容易误选A和B,主要是句子结构没判断清楚。本题稍难。
13.A 考查代词的用法。句意为“由于已经多次发出了工作申请,苏珊等着回复,但是一个回复也没来。”这里指的是“回复没来”,指物,不指人,排除C和D;而neither指两者的“不”,和句意冲突,排除。none指三者以上,故选A。本题中等难度。
14.C 考查非谓语动词的用法。句意为“来心理咨询中心寻求帮助的学生数量迅速增长,大多数学生说他们感到混乱和压抑。”说的动作是学生发出来的主动动作,由于句中出现谓语动词“have been”,在没有并列连词连接并列谓语的前提下,只能采用现在分词形式,表示主动行为,作伴随状语,故选C。其余选项从句式上和句意上都错误。本题中等难度。
15.C 考查反意疑问句的用法。句意为“那些有问题要问的人下课后到我办公室来,好吗。”这里陈述部分是祈使句,只不过出现呼语“Those who have questions to ask”,而呼语中包含一个定语从句“who have questions to ask”修饰先行词those,所以影响动词的选择,既然是祈使句,就应选择动词原形,而且其反意疑问句采用“will you”进行反问,故选C。本题容易误选B,把本句看作是陈述句;容易误选A和D,是没有判断出祈使句。本题稍难。
Ⅱ.本文主要讲述如何创造幸福。
16.A 由第五段倒数第二句 “Upon leaving the store,we feel honorable and our selfrespect is increased.”可知,采取积极正面的行动有助于我们自尊心的增强。
17.B 由第五段第二句“Deep down inside we would know ourselves as a type of thief.”可知,作者感觉隐瞒事实就像做贼一样。
18.A 根据短语“in contrast”可知,此处讲述的是与上文隐瞒真相相反的情况,可推测为向售货员讲清实情。由本段第七句出现的结果可以验证此推测。
19.C 由第三段最后一句“We would leave the store with a quiet sense of honor that we might never share with another soul.”可知,答案为C项,我们会有一种自豪感。
20.D 作者在第一段就开篇点题,指出了文章的论述中心——通过受人尊重的行动来获得生活中的快乐。
Ⅲ.21.loneliness 22.temporary 23.requires/needs
