2、fe and relationships before you know it. You might want something someone else has, or feel like theyre happier than you. It might seem like an uncontrollable emotion, but its truly not! Remember your big accomplishments. If your coworker gets the promotion you wanted, it doesnt mean you havent done

3、 great work. List out your accomplishments and think about how you got them and what youve done since then. Youll quickly find that youre just as worthy as the person youre envying! Appreciate your own good fortune. Think of where you are in your life and how you got there. Did you just buy your fir

4、st car? Are you able to save one paycheck each month? Are you surrounded by loving family and amazing friends? You have a lot of good things,and you have a lot of good fortune coming your way. Stop letting jealousy eat you alive and realize that you can better spend that energy on furthering your ow

5、n success and happiness. Appreciate that others can do what you cant. How boring would life be if everyone was the same? What if the entire population of your city was applying for your job, and they all had the same qualifications? Appreciate that everyone is different. Some people are better in po

6、werful management positions, while maybe youre better working with people. A friend might be an excellent artista quality youre envious of, but dont forget that youre a great musician!

When your coworker gets the promotion you wanted.B. When you buy your first car.C. When you are surrounded by loving fami

9、ly and friends.D. When your friend become an artist. 4What is the main idea of the passage?A. Jealousy is a bad feeling. B. Jealousy may influence your life and relationship.C. What should we do when Jealousy arises?D. Why we must keep away from Jealousy?BThe Albinas married when Mr. Albina was 30,

10、and they spent the early marriage in Argentina. Then they decided to move to Chile, which meant they had to cross the Andes Mountains. They and their 20s sons made the difficult two-week journey on horses. One night there was a terrible snow storm in the mountains, during which Mrs Albina gave birth

11、 to triplets (三胞胎), a boy and two girls. Mrs Albina now has 30 more girls, including the twins who are 15 months old. The oldest Albina children are in their 30s and 40s. They are on their own now, but 18 of the kids still live with their parents in a two-room house. The house has electricity but no

12、 toilet or running water. Clearly, the Albinas dont have enough money and food for the big family. Why, then, do they continue to have children?The Albinas do not use birth control because it is against their religion. They can let other people take care of their kids, but Mrs Albina doesnt allow it

13、. “When we were babies,” she said, “our mother left us at an orphanage and never returned. Then a couple adopted my brothers, and I was left behind. I was heartbroken. I promised that when I became a mother I would never give my children away.” So the Albina family continues to grow. They have so ma

14、ny kids that they run out of names and have to give some children the same name. There are three Susannas, three Miriams, two Estrellas, and two Soledades. Will the family stop at 53 kids? Mr Albina is 77, and Mrs Albina is 59. “I am getting old,” she said with a smile, “and I would like God to thin

15、k of me and consider my age. But if God sends more children to me, yes, there will be more.” 5What is said about the children in the Albinas in the passage?A. Some children are raised by others.B. God sent the children to the Albinas.C. The children are all twins or triplets.D. Most of the children

16、are independent now.6 It can be inferred from the passage that_.A. Mrs Albina experienced a hard childhoodB. the Albinas would like to use birth controlC. ten kids in the family share the same nameD. the Albina family has lived in three countries7How old was Mrs Albina when the Albinas got married?A

He lets nature take its course. CEven while in a deep sleep, people can still learn brand new information. Sleeper

18、s soak in new associations between smells and sounds, knowledge that lingers(逗留)into the next waking day, researchers report online August 26 in Nature Neuroscience. The new study is the first to show that entirely new information can get into the sleeping mind, says Anat Arzi of the Weizmann Instit

19、ute of Science in Israel. The brain is not passive while you sleep. Its quite active. You can do quite a lot of things while you are asleep. But the results dont mean that Spanish vocabulary tapes now have a place on the nightstand. L, Researchers have tried but largely failed to find evidence that

20、complicated information, such as new pairs of words, can make its way into the brain during sleep. Instead of trying to teach people something complicated like a new language, Arzi and her colleagues relied on the sense of smell and hearing. As anyone who has walked by a dumpster(垃圾车)in July knows,

21、smells can cause a nose-jerk reaction. Catching a bad smell automatically makes people inhale(吸气)less, reducing the size of the inhale. But scent of fresh bread causes a long, deep inhale.、rzi and her team took advantage of this reaction for their experiment. As people slept in the laboratory, the r

22、esearchers delivered pleasant scent, such as shampoo. As this nice smell got into the sleepers noses, the researchers played a particular music. Later, a disgusting smell, such as rotten fish or meat, was paired with a different music. Neither the smell nor the sound woke people up. After just four

23、exposures to the smell-music pair during a single night, the sleepers started to automatically respond to the tones without the accompanying smells, taking in bigger breaths when the shampoo-associated tone played and smaller breaths when played the sound linked to the rotten fish smell. This new le

24、arned association lingered into the next waking day, too. Even though the sleepers had no idea they had been exposed to smells or sounds, their behavior proved that their brain had actually learned something during sleep. As before, the shampoo sound stimulated a long, deep inhale, while the rotten

25、fish tone caused more shallow breaths.9We can infer from the passage thatA. while sleeping, we can learn whatever we want to learnB. we will increase the size of inhale if we catch a pleasant smellC. the knowledge we learned while sleeping will be forgotten in the next waken dayD. when walking by a

26、bakery, the fresh bread will cause a nose-jerk reaction10What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?A. One cant acquire complicated knowledge during the sleeping hours.B. Spanish vocabulary tapes now have a place on the nightstandC. Researchers have tried to find evidence that the new words can be learned dur

27、ing sleep.D. Complicated information can make its way into the brain during sleep11How do Arzi and her team do their research? ByA. giving instructions B. analyzing human brainsC. following the guides of others D. doing experiments12In which part of a website may this passage most likely appear?A. C

28、ulture. B. Science. C. History. D. Economy.DMany of us dream of having thousands and thousands of dollar to spend on what we desire We can buy lottery tickets, enter contests or spend hours building a business or invest in the stock market. We are sure that when we have plenty of money, we will be h

29、appy. While having some money does have an impact on our level of happiness, having a lot of money does not. It is reported that Americans whose income goes from $20,000 a year to $50,000 a year are more likely to be happy. But beyond $50,000, happiness does not increase as salaries go up. It is bec

30、ause we are never satisfied. Catherine Sanderson, a psychology professor at Amherst College says, We always think if we just had a little more money, wed be happier. But when we get there, we are not. Daniel Gilbert, a psychology professor at Harvard notes,The more you make, the more you want. The m

31、ore you have, the less it brings you joy. We incorrectly assume weIl get more pleasure from more, and we dont. The things money can buy dont make you happy either. A lot of research suggests that you wont find the good life buying expensive toys. You finally buy that BMW youve always wanted and it s

32、oon loses its appeal. Then, instead of wondering if a new car is what really makes you happy, you decide you just need a different new car. It is an endless cycle. To really be happy, you need to understand what makes you happy in the first place. One secret of happiness is people. Surveys have foun

33、d that people need people. Those who have five or more close friends are 50% more likely to describe themselves as very happy. Good relationships have a far greater effect on happiness than larger salary. Andrew Oswald, an economist at Englands University of Warwick says, B you are looking for happi

34、ness in life, find the right husband or wife rather than trying to double your salary. So invest your time and energy in people. The reward is much bigger in terms of happiness!13In Paragraph 1 the author intends to tell us the belief thatA. we are unhappy because we often lack moneyB. people can bu

35、y what they want if they have enough moneyC. more money will make ones dreams come trueD. happiness will result from more money14Which of the following statements would the author agree to?A. Having some money brings happiness to some degree.B. The more money one earns, the sadder one becomesC. Buyi

36、ng expensive things will surely bring pleasureD. We get nothing from buying expensive things we want.15Why does happiness not increase with pay rises?A. Most of us have a psychological problem.B. People are not content with what they get.C. It is human nature to be unhappy.D. Happiness has nothing t

37、o do with money.【答案】第二节:(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10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。E_16_It crossed New York from Buffalo on Lake Erie Troy to Albany on the Hudson River._17_The canal served as a route over which industrial goods could flow into the west,and materials could pour into the east.The Er

38、ie Canal helped New York develop into the nations largest city.The building of the canal was paid for entirely by the state of New York._18_Between 1825,when the canal was opened,and 1882,when toll charges (过运河费) were stopped,the state collected $121,461,891.For a hundred years before the Erie was b
