68、?” 霍尔特先生，你是当真的吗?。当老师说了这些话之后，孩子们都很震惊耶，很奇怪，所以他会确定问老师是不是真的这样？这表明学生是很不太相信的。故选C项。【44题详解】细节理解题。根据第四段最后一句话I said, “Dont you find parts of it rather heavy going?” She answered, Oh, sure, but I just skip over those parts and go on to the next good part. 可知，你觉得有些部分很难吗“她回答说，哦，当然，但我只是跳过这些部分，继续读下一个好的部分。她学会了欣赏那些难
69、读的书的某些部分。故选C项。【45题详解】推理判断题。根据最后一段Find something, dive into it, take the good parts, skip the bad parts, get what you can out of it, go on to something else. 找到一些东西，埋头去读它们，抓住好的部分，跳过坏的部分，从中得到你能得到的，然后再去读其它的。所以判断出从老师的角度看，应该让孩子们决定读什么和怎样读。故选B选项。CFeel the MusicWeve all heard of smart phones, but how about

83、听力障碍者设计的“SoundShirt”）和第五段“The SoundShirt lets people who are deaf or hard of hearing enjoy music in a unique way.”（SoundShirt让失聪的人或听力障碍者以一种独特的方式享受音乐），结合全文内容，可知本文介绍了CuteCircuit公司为失聪的人或听力障碍者研发的Soundshirt，可以让他们享受到音乐。故选B。【47题详解】细节理解题。根据文章倒数第二段“You might think this innovation(创新)would look like something
84、 out of a science fiction movie, but in fact, these shirts are wireless!(你可能会认为这个创新看起来像是科幻电影里的东西，但事实上，这些衬衫是无线的!)” 可知，“SoundShirt是无线的”这一表述正确。故选A。【48题详解】推理判断题。根据文章倒数第三段“As the music plays, the sensations combine while the brain gets to work putting together all the different vibrations, allowing the w

99、an在他的新书阐述了我们应该依靠自己的优势来获得幸福的观点。【50题详解】细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Research has piles up steadily when it comes to looking at patients who are neurotic, while the happy or joyful people among us have received little scientific examination. (有关神经症或精神失常患者的研究资料堆积如山，而幸福或快乐的人群几乎无人关注。)”可知，Seligma的研究被称为幸福革命是因为传统的心理学研究很少涉及
100、幸福或快乐的人。故选D。【51题详解】词句猜测题。根据文章第二段“Psychologists tend to be concerned with taking a negative 8 person, and helping him get to negative 2, (心理学家热衷于把-8的人提高到-2，)”和第三段“In the last 50 years, statistics have shown that we are less happy as a people.(半个世纪以来，统计数字表明我们的国民不如以往快乐。)”可知，Seligma说：“而我的目标是把+2的人提升到+6。”
101、，这说明快乐的人需要变得更快乐，即Seligma认为快乐的人也需要改善他们的心态。故选D。【52题详解】细节理解题。根据文章第三段“Seligman argues that the new science he writes about is shifting psychologys model away from its narrow-minded focus on pathology(病理学), victimology, and mental illness towards positive emotion, virtue and strength, and positive instit
102、utions that increase peoples happiness. (Seligman认为他著书阐述的新科学正在改变心理学的模式，使其从仅狭窄地注重病理学、受害心理学和精神症学的模式转变到关注能创造更多幸福的积极情感、品质、力量和积极机制。)”可知，传统的心理学观点是狭隘的。故选D。【53题详解】细节理解题。根据文章第三段“Instead, he says we can boost our own happiness by making use of the strengths and traits that we already have, including kindness,
103、 originality, humor, optimism, and generosity. He has named the discipline “Positive Psychology,” arguing that we would be better off building on our own strengths rather than bemoaning, and hence, trying to repair, our weakness.

104、，认为我们最好是建立在自己的优势之上，而不是哀叹自己的弱点，从而试图弥补自己的弱点。)”可知，Martin Seligman认为，真正的幸福源于积极的心理状态。故选B。【54题详解】推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“To cultivate happiness, we must first find out our individual strengths and virtues. (要创造幸福，我们必须首先发现我们个人的优势和美德。)”可知，Martin Seligman认为，我们依靠自己的优势来获得幸福。故选B。【55题详解】主旨大意题。根据全文内容可知，文章主要介绍在过去的50年，人们的幸福
105、感越来越低了。心理学教授Martin Seligman在他的新书阐述了我们应该依靠自己的优势来获得幸福的观点。所以用“how we can cultivate our happiness.(如何创造我们的幸福。)”作为文章标题最为合适。故选A。四、阅读表达：10分Looking back over a twenty-year music career, I often feel a sense of wonder-not at what I have accomplished, but how I have chosen such a path.It would have been easy
106、for me to stay on the family farm.However, rewarding as this existence was, it was somehow unfulfilling; my youthful imagination, much to my parents disappointment, often cast about for other, greater pursuits to occupy it.Still, growing up as I did in a household where the radio reported milk price

Open【解析】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述作者回顾自己为什么走上音乐之路。【56题详解】词句猜测题。根据文章第一段画线句后句“the thought of choosing a career in classical music went beyond even my wildest imagination.(所以选择古典音乐作为职业的想法甚至超出了我最狂野的想象。)”可猜测画线句的意思是作者出生在一个农民家庭而不是一个音乐家的家庭，或者作者的家庭环境与音乐无关，或者作者住在农场，没有机会接触音乐。故答案为I was born in a farmers
116、family rather than a musicians. or My family environment has nothing to do with music. or I lived on a farm and had no chance to be exposed to music/ have no access to music.【57题详解】细节理解题。根据文章第二段“As my interest in other language grew, so did my awareness that music is itself a language, just as capab
117、le of expressing and inspiring emotion or thought as the spoken word-sometimes even more so. (随着我对其他语言兴趣的增长，我也意识到音乐本身就是一种语言，它和口头语言一样能够表达和激发情感或思想有时甚至更强。)”可知，作者对其他语言的迷恋引导他走上音乐之路。故答案为The authors fascination with other languages.【58题详解】推理判断题。根据文章第二段“As my interest in other language grew, so did my aware
118、ness that music is itself a language, just as capable of expressing and inspiring emotion or thought as the spoken word-sometimes even more so.

120、ces more vividly. or to tell us the power/influence/ effect of music. or to show music can express and inspire emotion or thought.【59题详解】主旨大意题。根据文章最后一段“For me, like many who find themselves adrift on a sea of uncertainty, it took a mentor to help me find my way to dry land.
