We fixed our 36 on top of the cabs and started out. During the journey back, we stopped for a tea. That was when I noticed

The areas main attraction is Parco Nazionale delle Incisioni Rupestri, a national park covering an area of 140,000 square meters, and home

B. 301. C. 340.2. D. 378.BPeople generally like to feel happy, but achieving a state of happiness takes
32、time and effort. Aekyoung Kim of Rutgers University in the U.S. and Sam Maglio of the University of Toronto Scarborough in Canada have conducted four studies in which they studied how the pursuit of happiness as well as the state of being happy influenced peoples perception (看法) of time.In the studi
33、es, some participants were either instructed to list things that would make them happier or asked to try to make themselves feel happy while watching a boring movie about building bridges, thus showing happiness as a goal to pursue. The other participants came to think of happiness as a goal that th
34、ey had already accomplished, achieved by watching a comedy or listing things showing that they were already happy. Afterwards, all participants reported how much free time they felt they had.The researchers main finding showed that a persons perception of time scarcity (缺乏) is influenced by their pu
35、rsuit of (often unattainable) happiness. The feeling that time was scarce became less strong for participants who said that they had attained their goal of being happy to some degree.“Time seems to disappear during the pursuit of happiness, but only when its seen as a goal requiring continued pursui
36、t,” explain the researchers. “This finding suggests that the pursuit of happiness can destroy well-being.” According to the researchers, the finding implies that while happiness can hurt positive emotions, it need not necessarily do so. Instead, if someone believes they have achieved happiness, they
37、 are left with the time to appreciate this. The research further explains that people have different concepts about happiness, which in turn may well influence how they perceive the time they have to achieve happiness.“Because going through experiences and sharing feelings require more time compared
38、 with only, for example, buying material goods, feeling that time is lacking also leads people to prefer material possessions rather than enjoying pleasant experiences,” the researchers continue. “Encouraging people to worry less about pursuing happiness as a never-ending goal might just end up givi
39、ng them more time and, in turn, more happiness.”58. The tasks given to the two groups of participants differ in _.A. how they spent their free timeB. how they drew up shopping listsC. what kind of movies interested themD. whether they had acquired happiness59. We can infer from the finding in Paragr
40、aph 4 that _. A. happiness is determined by timeB. happiness is a matter of choiceC. happiness is a never-ending goalD. happiness can hurt positive emotions60. Which of the following would be the best title of the text?A. Will time-saving tasks make you happier?B. Is emotion management training nece
41、ssary?C. Can pursuing happiness make you unhappy?D. Should you express your unhappiness in hard times? CMany Americans think of driverless cars as a futuristic technology that will revolutionize travel in cities and along state highways. But recent experiments are proving that autonomous vehicles al
42、so have the potential to improve the quality of life for millions of Americans underserved by traditional modes of transportation, such as the elderly and disabled, so long as lawmakers make smart policies that pave the way for innovation.A retirement community in San Jose, Calif., which has been tr
43、ansformed by a small fleet of driverless taxis, shows the potential of self-driving cars to transform peoples lives. Built by a tech start-up called Voyage, the modified Ford Fusions are currently limited to a two-mile road, but residents are already having the benefits of these autonomous vehicles,
44、 which allow them to participate in social activities they would otherwise be unable to enjoy simply because they could not get to them.When the trial run finally expands to 15 miles of road, these residentswhose average age is 76will also have a convenient and reliable new way to appointments. As t
45、hese cars continue to serve residents there, it is easy to understand why California is moving to simplify regulations for the industry.In Michigan, forward-thinking policies have the potential to unlock other hidden benefits of autonomous vehicles, especially for those with physical disabilities. T
46、he Michigan Disability Rights Coalition has strongly advocated for the development of this technology, saying that it could give people with disabilities greater opportunities in the workforce and enable them to lead more fulfilling, independent lives.Many recognize that autonomous vehicles will be
47、the future of transportation, but it is too often overlooked that this future cannot arrive fast enough for millions of Americans who are forced to depend on others for day-to-day travel. The policymakers should follow the lead of places like California and Michigan, and pass rules and regulations t
48、o unlock these hidden benefits of driverless cars.61. Whats the attitude of most American people to the future of autonomous vehicles?A. Cautious. B. Doubtful. C. Indifferent. D. Optimistic.62. What is the modified Ford Fusion?A. A kind of autonomous vehicle. B. The collection of social activities.C
49、. A two-mile road for self-driving cars. D. The name of a retirement community.63. What are examples in California and Michigan to prove?A. Driverless cars disadvantages.B.

The concept of autonomous vehicles has been widely recognized.D. The weak groups are often overlooked despite technology advan
51、ces. DAccording to the American Gem Society, anthropologists believe that engagement (订婚) rings date back to a Roman custom in which wives wore rings with keys attached, which indicated that their husbands owned them. Engagement rings began to get a little less dark in 1477, when Archduke Maximilian
52、 of Austria commissioned an expensive diamond ring for his new wife. The accessory grew in popularity in the Victorian era, and gradually the diamond ring trend trickled down from nobility to the masses.There is a theory that the tradition of bridesmaids dressing alike dates back to ancient Rome, th
53、e bride considered to be prime bait (诱饵) for evil spirits. So, all the women dressed alike to confuse the spirits from interrupting the bride and the grooms wedding.Another theory, however, dates back to the Victorian era. Dr. Liz Gloyn, a lecturer in Royal Holloway at the University of London, told
54、 The Independent that the tradition originated from fear of competition. “It is my belief that by regulating the bridesmaids formally into exactly the same garments, there was no room for any of them to try and outdo each other, let alone the bride, through the use of grander fabric, grander jewelry
55、,” Dr. Gloyn said.Centuries ago, a groom had to “kidnap” the bride if her family disapproved of their union. The best man was put in place to defend the groom in case the family retaliated. The best man originated as the grooms choice protector. Many centuries ago, it was common for a groom to “stea
56、l” a bride from her family if they didnt approve of the unionand it was the best mans job to fight the family if they reacted. It was also common practice for the best man to stand next to the groom with a sword in tow on the day of the wedding. In fact, ancient groups like the Huns, Goths, and Visi
57、goths would store weapons in the floor of the church in the event of a fight.The practice of the groom carrying the bride across the threshold (门槛) of their new home or bedroom dates back to ancient Rome. At the time, the bride had to prove that she didnt willingly leave her fathers home, as doing s
58、o would have been improper. Romans also believed evil spirits attempted to curse the Couple one last time at the threshold, so the groom had to lift the brides feet above the ground so as not to let the spirits enter her body.The bouquet (花束) was originally used to mask the brides body smell, and it
59、 was often made with pungent herbs. According to the Huffington Post, the tradition of the bride carrying a bouquet dates back to the 15th century. In medieval times, people didnt smell quite as good as they do now, so brides carried fragrant bouquets to mask their own body smell. The bouquets were
60、often made with strong herbs, like garlic and dill.Actually, the reason June weddings are so popular is that people used to take their annual baths in May. To this day, people fantasize about having a June weddingBut the fixation with that summer month dates back to the 15th century, and it also rel
61、ates to smell. People used to take their annual baths in May, which made June the perfect time for a good-smelling public gathering.The tradition of the father of the bride walking his daughter down the aisle to “give her away” roughly dates back to the 1549 Book of Common Prayer and the Church of E
62、ngland. It was more of a business transaction (交易) than anything else, as the “giving away” referred to a transfer of property. “In Britain, as in many places, women had long been considered essentially the property of men, first their fathers and then their husbands,” according to Time.65. A Roman
63、husband used an engagement ring to show _. A. his affection for his wife B. his high status in societyC. his ownership of his wife D. his great fame and wealth66. Why did bridesmaids dress alike at the wedding?A. To scare away evil spirits. B. To add happiness to the wedding. C. To avoid their compe
64、tition for the groom. D. To confuse evil spirits from harming the bride.67. Carrying the bride across the threshold was symbolic of _. A. the bride being reluctant to leave her familyB. evil spirits posing a great threat to the brideC. the groom having the ability to protect the brideD. the brides p
65、arents disapproving of the marriage68. Whats the meaning of the underlined word “fixation” in Paragraph 7?A. Fascination B. Satisfaction C. Agreement D. Commitment69. What can be inferred from the passage?A. Ancient people loved bathing throughout the year. B. Ancient women were valued by fathers an
66、d husbands.C. Ancient wedding bouquets smelt as nice as modern ones. D. Ancient people might give off an unpleasant smell in winter. 70. Whats the authors purpose of writing this passage? A. To advise us to follow some customs at weddings. B. To indicate that women were treated as possessions. C. To
67、 introduce the origins of some wedding traditions. D. To entertain us with interesting tales about weddings. 第卷（非选择题 两部分 共35分）第四部分 任务型阅读 (共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分)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。请将答案写在答题卡上相应题号的横线上。TheTwoTribesofWorkingLifeWorkers, and possibly all people, can be divide
68、d into two groups. Those who like to be part of everything can be called “FOMOs” because they suffer from a “fear of missing out”. And then there are those who would ideally want to be left to get on with their own particular work, without distraction the “JOMOs” (joy of missing out).People will ins
69、tantly know their tribe. If the boss announces a new project, do you immediately volunteer, thinking this will be a great chance to prove your skills? If so, you are aFOMO.Ordoyouforeseethetroubleinvolved,thelikelyfailureoftheproject,andtheweekendemailsfromalltheFOMOswantingtospendlesstimewiththeirf
70、amilies? Then you are a certified JOMO. Another test is technology. FOMOs are early adopters, snapping up the latest gadgets (装置) and sending documents to colleagues via the latest file-sharing programme. JOMOs tend to believe that any tech upgrade will be initially troublesome and wonder why on ear
71、th their colleagues cant send the document as a pdf.Networking events are the kind of thing that gets FOMOs excited as a chance to exchange ideas and make contacts. When JOMOs hear the word “networking”, they reach for their noise-cancelling headphones. For them, being made to attend an industry coc
72、ktail party is rather like being forced to attend the wedding of someone they barely know.Similarly, FOMOs see a breakfast meeting as a chance to start the day on a positive note. They would hate to turn one down in case they lost business, or the chance of career advancement. JOMOs hate setting the
73、ir alarm earlier and would rather breakfast at their kitchen table.As for business travel, FOMOs cant wait to experience the delight of overseas conferences and visiting new places. JOMOs know that such travel involves crowded airline seats, jet lag and a long shuffle through immigration. The final
74、destination tends not to be some exciting location but a conference centre or hotel that they forget five minutes after they have departed.It might seem obvious that employers should like to hire FOMOs, not their opposites. After all, in a company full of JOMOs, there would be little innovation and
75、sales might suffer. But while FOMOs are racing from meeting to networking event, you need a few JOMOs to be doing actual work. If FOMOs are like dogs, barking excitedly and chasing their own tails, JOMOs are more like cats. They will spring into action if a mouse is around but, in the meantime, they
76、 are content to sit by the fire. The other reason why depending on FOMOs is dangerous is that they are naturally restless. JOMOs will be loyal, for fear of ending up with a worse employer. But FOMOs may think that working for one company means they are missing out on better conditions at another. Th

86、, our government is determined to attach greater importance to the protection of cultural relics. The symbolic and national significance of cultural relics cannot be underlined too much. As is known to us all, cultural relics are treasures handed down from our ancestors. Protecting cultural relics c
87、an help carry forward Chinese civilization and boost the nations confidence. Whats more, once cultural relics are damaged, its quite a tough task to restore them. From where I stand, it is the responsibility of the whole society to protect cultural relics. The private sector needs to be mobilized in
88、 this process, and public awareness of cultural heritage protection needs to be enhanced. Besides, modern technologies should be employed whenever necessary. Only by making joint efforts can we protect those priceless treasures. 听力原文(Text 1)M: I feel so tired. I burnt the midnight oil to finish my w
