I fumbled(摸索) in my pockets to see if there were any cigarettes, whi
11、ch had escapedtheir search. I found one and because of my shaking hands, I could barely get it to my lips. But I had no matches, they had taken those. I looked through the bars at the guard. He did not make eye contact with me. I called out to him “Have you got a light?” He looked at me, shrugged an
12、d came over to light my cigarette. As he came close and lit the match, his eyes unconsciously locked with mine. At that moment, I smiled. I dont know why I did that. Perhaps it was nervousness, perhaps it was because, when you get very close, one to another, it is very hard not to smile. In any case
13、, I smiled. In that instant, it was as though a spark jumped across the gap between our two hearts, our two human souls. I know he didnt want to, but my smile leaped through the bars and caused a smile on his lips, too. He lit my cigarette but stayed near, looking at me directly in the eyes and cont
14、inuing to smile. I kept smiling at him, now thinking of him as a person and not just a guard. Do you have kids? he asked. “Yes, here, here.” I took out my wallet and nervously fumbled for the pictures of my family. He, too, took out the pictures of his family and began to talk about his plans and ho
15、pes for them. My eyes filled with tears. I said that I feared that Id never see my family again, never have the chance to see them grow up. Tears came to his eyes, too. Suddenly, without another word, he unlocked my cell and silently led me out. Out of the prison, quietly and by back routes, out of
16、the town. There, at the edge of town, he released me. And without another word, he turned back toward the town. 21. What had happened to the man before ?A. He had been badly treated.B. He had killed someone.C. He had been searched.D. He had been forbidden to get in touch with anyone.22. Why did the

The smile. B. The cigarette. C. The tears. D. The wallet. B Some people think if you are happy, you are blind to
19、 reality. But when we research it, happiness actually raises every single business and educational outcome for the brain. How did we miss this? Why do we have these social misunderstandings about happiness? Because we assumed you were average. When we study people, scientists are often interested in
20、 what the average is. Many people think happiness is genetic. Thats only half the story, because the average person does not fight their genes. When we stop studying the average and begin researching positive outliers people who are above average for a positive aspect like optimism or intelligence a
21、 wildly different picture appears. Our daily decisions and habits have a huge impact upon both our levels of happiness and success.Scientifically, happiness is a choice. It is a choice about where your single processor brain will devote its limited resources as you process the world. If you scan for
22、 the negative first, your brain really has no resources left over to see the things you are grateful for or the meaning embedded(嵌入) in your work. But if you scan the world for the positive, you start to acquire an amazing advantage. I wrote the cover story for the Harvard Business Review magazine o
23、n “Happiness Leads to Profits.” Based on my article called “Positive Intelligence” and my research in The Happiness Advantage, I summarized our researched conclusion: the single greatest advantage in the modern economy is a happy and busy workforce.A decade of research in the business world proves t
24、hat happiness raises nearly every business and educational outcome: increasing sales by 37%, productivity by 31%, and accuracy on tasks by 19%, as well as a number of health and quality-of-life improvements.25. The underlined word “this” in the first paragraph refers to . A. the fact that people are
25、 happy B. the connection between happiness and educational outcome C. the fact that people often misunderstand happinessD. the fact that most people are average26. What can we learn from the passage? A. Scientists are only interested in what the average is. B. You can choose to be happy or not.C. Th
26、e average are not happy at all. D. Our decisions and habits have nothing to do with happiness. 27. Why does the writer mention his articles and research? A. To advertise himself. B. To arouse the readers interest.C. To support his point about happiness. D. To attract the readers to read his articles
27、.28. What is the authors purpose of writing this article? A. To explain what is happiness. B. To describe the misunderstandings about happiness. C. To show people the importance of happiness. D. To make the point that happiness promotes business and educational outcome. CScientists investigated why
28、Ebola virus is so deadly when it spreads from animals to humans and then from human-to-human contact. The research team looked at the Zaire Ebola virus in an animal system to understand how it gains strength. This virus is responsible for the current outbreak in West Africa. They found thatinitially
29、the animal systems were notaffected by the virus, but succeeding transmission(传送) into other animals caused the virus to “hot up” and become more severe. The team analyzed the viruses at different stages and were able to identify several changes in its geneticmaterial that were associated with incre
30、ased disease. Professor Julian Hiscox, who led the study from the Universitys Institute of Infection and Global Health, explains: “The work tells us that theevolutionary goal of Ebola virus is to become more fatal.” “We were able to show through genetic analysis which parts of the virus are involved
31、 in this process. The information we have gathered will now allow us to monitor for such changes in an outbreak as well as develop future treatment strategies.” Professor Roger Hewson, leading the study from Public Health England, Porton Down, said: “Ebola virus is such adestructiveinfection to the
32、people affected by the disease and the economy of West Africa.” “Our understanding of Ebola virus biology is way behind that of other viruses and ourcooperation shows how we can bring together our specialists skills to close this knowledge gap.” Professor Miles Carroll, a co-author of the work, said
33、: “This study has allowed the team to be at the forefront of developing methodologies to analyze patient samples recently taken by the European Mobile Laboratory from West Africa to understand disease evolution during the current outbreak.”29. What does the first paragraph mainly tell us? A. How sev
34、ere Ebola virus is. B. How Ebola virus spreads. C. How Ebola virus gradually becomes deadly. D. What contributions scientists have made on Ebola virus.30. Which of the following statements is mentioned in the passage? A. In the first stage, the virus hurts its victims much. B. As the virus spreads,
35、itll change and become more and more deadly. C. The research in Ebola virus is more advanced than that in other viruses. D. The scientists have a negative attitude to the research in Ebola virus.31. The underlined word “fatal” has the closest meaning to _. A. optimistic B. deadly C. common D. fantas
36、tic32. Where can we probably read this passage? A. In a science report. B. In a storybook. C. In an advertisement. D. In a textbook.D Much meaning can be conveyed, clearly, with our eyes, so it is often said that eyes can speak.Do you have such kind of experience? In a bus you may look at a stranger
37、, but not too long. And if he is sensing that he is being stared at, he may feel uncomfortable.The same in daily life. If you are looked at for more than necessary, you will look at yourself up and down, to see if there is anything wrong with you. If nothing goes wrong, you will feel angry toward ot
38、hers stare at you that way. Eyes do speak, right?Looking too long at someone may seem to be rude and aggressive. But things are different when it comes to stare at the opposite sex. If a man glances at a woman for more than 10 seconds and refuses to move his gaze, his intentions are obvious, that is
39、, he wishes to attract her attention, to make her understand that he is admiring her.However, the normal eye contact for two people engaged in conversation is that the speaker will only look at the listener from time to time, in order to make sure that the listener does pay attention to what the for
40、mer is speaking, to tell him that he is attentive.If a speaker looks at you continuously when speaking, as if he tries to dominate you, you will feel uncomfortable. A poor liar usually exposes himself by looking too long at the victim, since he believes in the false idea that to look straight in the
41、 eye is a sign of honest communication. Quite the contrary.In fact, continuous eye contact is confined to lovers only, who will enjoy looking at each other tenderly for a long time, to show affection that words cannot express. Evidently, eye contact should be done according to the relationship betwe
42、en two people and the specific situation.33. Which of the following behaviors is proper according to the passage? A. To the opposite sex, stare at him or her. B. To a stranger, avoid looking at him or her. C. In a conversation, look at the listener all the time. D. Make eye contact depending on the
43、relationship and different situations. 34. If two persons exchange eye contact gently for long, what is probably their relationship? A. Boss and employee. B. Lovers. C. Teacher and student. D. Strangers35. Whats the best title of the passage? A. Dont stare at others B. Body language is important C.
44、Eyes can speak D. Eye contact benefits you第二节（共5小题，每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。(注意：E涂AB： F 涂AC: G 涂AD )The increasing environmental problems and need for eco-friendly products and services are creating a new job section of green-collar jobs. 36 It is expected that by 20

47、environment-friendly equipment, both green product designer and educated and trained workers are needed.
