M6 Unit 2 What is happiness to you(测)-2022年高考英语一轮复习讲练测(新高考•江苏)一、阅读理解阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。A(2021·浙江高三月考)Our brain doesn’t know how to be happy, or even content. It simply lacks the genetic instructions to carry out that task. It knows how to do a million other less important things, from writing a letter to maintaining our balance; from appreciating the music of Bach to smelling a rose, but if you ask the brain to be happy, it simply doesn’t know how to respond.This is because the genetic code is only concerned with survival and reproduction, which happiness does not necessarily have anything to do with, and therefore belongs in a different realm. Nature doesn't want us to always feel content and satisfied, let alone happy, as this would lower our guard against possible threats to our survival.Happiness, as the Brazilian poet Vinicius de Moraes put it, is “like a feather flying in the air. It flies light, but not for very long.” It is so elusive that it has also been compared to a butterfly, which “when pursued, is always just beyond your grasp, but which, if you will sit down quietly, may alight upon you,” according to 19th-century American novelist Nathaniel Hawthorne. In any case, what is clear is that happiness is, at best, fleeting (飞逝的) and inconstant.In this blog, we will look at the myth of happiness from many perspectives and, in the process, we will touch on topics such as happy personalities, the unhappy workings of the brain, evolution, dreams, and even fairy tales. I explore all these issues in detail in my book, which shares its title with this blog. Happiness is a crucial concept. We spend all of our lives pursuing it, so it deserves a very careful analysis.We are determined by our biological design to experience mixed and messy emotions. But the silver lining is the knowledge that having difficult emotions doesn’t represent a personal failure. The inevitable unhappiness that we all suffer from time to time is not a shortcoming that demands urgent repair. Far from it. This unhappiness is, in fact, what makes us human.【语篇导读】这是一篇说明文，主要介绍了我们的大脑不知道如何快乐，甚至不知道如何满足的原因是缺乏执行这项任务的基因指令。这是因为遗传密码只与生存和繁殖有关，而幸福不一定与之有任何关系，因此属于另一个领域。幸福是转瞬即逝变化无常的。1.Why does our brain lack the genetic instructions to be happy？A. Because being happy is less important than appreciating and creating art.B. Because happiness has little to do with the continuation of a species.C. Because we tend to be more aware of the threats when we are unhappy.D. Because feeling good isn’t one of our concerns in living a life.【答案】B【解析】细节理解题。根据第二段第一句“This is because the genetic code is only concerned with survival and reproduction, which happiness does not necessarily have anything to do with, and therefore belongs in a different realm.”(这是因为遗传密码只与生存和繁殖有关，而幸福与生存和繁殖没有必然的关系，因此属于另一个领域。)可知，我们的大脑缺乏快乐的基因指令因为幸福与物种的延续没有多大关系。故选B。2.What does the underlined word in paragraph 3 most probably mean？A. Difficult to achieve  B. Easy to expose  C. Unable to explain D. Likely to remain【答案】A【解析】词义猜测题。根据第三段最后一句“In any case, what is clear is that happiness is, at best, fleeting (飞逝的)and inconstant.”(在任何情况下，有一点是明确的，那就是幸福充其量是短暂的、无常的)和第二句中的“when pursued, is always just beyond your grasp, but which, if you will sit down quietly, may alight upon you”(当你追逐它的时候，你总是追不到的，但是，如果你安静地坐下来，它可能会落到你身上)可知，此处是指幸福是很难得到的。所以elusive意为“难获得的”。故选A。3.What can we learn from the passage?A. We should make happiness our top concern no matter what.B. Negative emotions always require immediate attention.C. Social failures are more likely to be troubled by negative feelings.D. We should accept difficult emotions as a natural part of life.【答案】D【解析】推理判断题。根据最后一段最后三句“The inevitable unhappiness that we all suffer from time to time is not a shortcoming that demands urgent repair. Far from it. This unhappiness is, in fact, what makes us human.”(我们所有人时不时遭受的不可避免的不幸并不是一个需要紧急修复的缺点。远非如此。事实上，正是这种不快乐使我们成为人类)可知，我们应该接受困难的情绪作为生活的一部分。故选D。B(2021·南昌市八一中学高三模拟)The secret to happiness is keeping busy, research has found.Keeping the mind occupied with tasks—no matter how meaningless—keeps off negative emotions, the study found.However, the bad news is that humans are seemingly born to be lazy in order to save energy, according to Professor Christoper Hsee, a behavioral scientist at Chicago University.In a study, 98 students were asked to complete two surveys. After they had completed the first, they were made to wait 15 minutes to receive the next one. They were given a choice of either handing in the first survey nearby or at a more distant location they had to walk to. Whichever option they chose, they received a chocolate bar. It turned out that approximately two-thirds(68 students)chose the lazy option. Those who had taken the walk reported feeling happier than those who had stayed put.Prof. Hsee concluded that keeping busy helped keep people happy. He said the findings, reported in the journal Psychological Science, had policy implications.“Governments may increase the happiness of idle citizens by having them build bridges that are actually useless,” he proposed.At the individual level, he advised, “Get up and do something. Anything. Even if there really is no point to what you are doing, you will feel better for it.” He added, “Incidentally, thinking deeply or engaging in self-reflection counts as keeping busy, too.”“You do not need to be running around. You just need to be engaged, either physically or mentally.”【语篇导读】这是一篇说明文，讲述了科学家们通过研究发现，使人们快乐的秘诀就是让自己忙起来，有事可做就会提升幸福感。4.Keeping busy can make people happy because________.A. it can help people get rid of laziness   B. it can make people sleep betterC. it can help get rid of negative emotions   D. it can give people a sense of achievement【答案】C【解析】推理判断题。根据第一段和第二段中的“The secret to happiness is keeping busy, research has found. Keeping the mind occupied with tasks—no matter how meaningless—keeps off negative emotions, the study found.”(一项研究发现，快乐的秘诀就是让自己忙起来。研究发现，让大脑忙于各种任务，不管它们多么毫无意义，都能抵御负面情绪。)可知，忙碌能让人快乐是因为它可以帮助摆脱不愉快的感觉。故选C项。5.Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A. The finding may contribute to politics.B. The officials have taken Prof. Hsee’s advice.C. In the study half students handed in the first survey nearby.D. Governments can increase citizens’ happiness by building bridges.【答案】A【解析】细节理解题。根据第五段中的“He said the findings, reported in the journal Psychological Science, had policy implications.”(他说，这项发表在《心理科学》杂志上的研究结果具有政治意义。)可知，这一发现可能有助于政治。故选A项。6.What can we infer from the passage?A. Everybody is born to be happy.B. Only by keeping working all the time can you gain happiness.C. Prof. Hsee’s finding was published in Psychological Science.D. Keeping busy goes against human nature.【答案】D【解析】推理判断题。根据第三段中的“However, the bad news is that humans are seemingly born to be lazy in order to save energy, according to Professor Christoper Hsee, a behavioral scientist at Chicago University.”(而坏消息是，据芝加哥大学行为科学家Christoper Hsee教授说，为了节省能量，人类似乎生来就懒惰。)可推知，忙碌有悖于与人的天性。故选D项。7.What is the author’s purpose in writing this passage?A. To explain what happiness is.     B. To advise people not to sit around.C. To advise people to do what they like to.  D. To show people how to take life correctly.【答案】B【解析】推理判断题。根据第一段和第二段中的“The secret to happiness is keeping busy, research has found. Keeping the mind occupied with tasks—no matter how meaningless—keeps off negative emotions, the study found”(一项研究发现，快乐的秘诀就是保持忙碌。该研究发现，让大脑忙于一些毫无意义的事情可以避免负面情绪)和最后一段中的“You do not need to be running around. You just need to be engaged, either physically or mentally”(你没必要到处跑。你只需要有事忙，无论是身体上还是精神上。)可推知，作者写这篇文章是为了建议人们不要无所事事。故选B项。C(2021·四川高三二模)On a scale of 0 to 10, I’d say my happiness ranks at about 6. I’m glad to know I’m a 6, because, as a famous management saying puts it, “You can't manage what you don’t measure.” If you want to improve an aspect of your life, you need to be able to assess progress toward your goal-and that means measuring it. The goal of this column is to help you manage and improve your happiness. A number of people have asked me whether quantitative happiness measures are really accurate and reliable-and it’s a reasonable question. So let’s take a look behind the curtain. But not just for intellectual curiosity; as you will see, understanding the measurement of happiness can itself make you better at improving your own well-being-and avoid some critical errors. The best method scientists have to understand with confidence how something affects something else is a randomized, controlled trial. Think of the tests currently under way to find a vaccine for COvID-19. They take a long time because the drug companies with trial vaccines are conducting experiments that randomly assign people to a treatment group they get the vaccine and a control group(they get a placebo), and then waiting to seif the drug is effective and safe by comparing the two groups after enough time has passed. In the research on happiness, this usually isn’t possible. Want to know if people are truly happiest in Denmark, as some studies suggest, and test it with a randomized experiment? You would need to randomly take two groups out of their homes, move one group to Copenhagen, and the other to, say, Dayton, Ohio- but make sure they think it might be Copenhagen and never get the truth. Follow up a few years later to see who is happiest. Obviously, that’s ridiculous. So with randomized controlled trials largely not available to them, happiness researchers instead rely on self-reported happiness surveys, where large groups of people anonymously report their levels of life satisfaction. Then, the researchers use fairly complex statistical techniques to mimic(模拟)a controlled experiment in order to show how different aspects of people’s lives affect-or at least are associated with-their happiness.【语篇导读】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了如何管理和提高你的幸福感。8.What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 1 probably refer to?A. An aspect of life  B. One’s goal   C. Happiness   D. Progress.【答案】D【解析】词义猜测题(代词的指代)。根据第一段第三句“You can’t manage what you don’t measure.”(你无法管理你没有衡量的东西)和第四句“If you want to improve an aspect of your life, you need to be able to assess progress toward your goal”(如果你想要改善你生活的一个方面，你需要能够评估你的目标所取得的进展)可知，此处是指衡量进步。所以it代指progress。故选D。9.Why is the test of CovID-19 vaccine mentioned in Paragraph 3?A. To introduce a latest medical breakthrough.B. To show the difficulty in finding the vaccine.C. To illustrate the process of randomized experiments.D. To prove the impossibility of randomized researches on happiness.【答案】C【解析】推理判断(目的意图)。根据第三段第一句“The best method scientists have to understand with confidence how something affects something else is a randomized, controlled trial.”(科学家们自信地理解一件事如何影响另一件事的最好的方法就是随机对照试验)可知，CovID-19疫苗的测试在第3段被提及是为了说明随机实验的过程。故选C。10.Why is it hard to conduct research on happiness with randomized experiments?A. The experiment takes a long time.    B. It is difficult to analyze the data collected.C. It is impossible to carry out the process strictly. D. The subjects are unwilling to share their feelings.【答案】C【解析】推理判断题。根据最后一段第三句到第五句“You would need to randomly take two groups out of their homes, move one group to Copenhagen, and the other to, say, Dayton, Ohio- but make sure they think it might be Copenhagen and never get the truth. Follow up a few years later to see who is happiest. Obviously, that' s ridiculous.”(你需要随机地把两组人从家里带出来，一组搬到哥本哈根，另一组搬到俄亥俄州的代顿——但要确保他们认为可能是哥本哈根，永远不会知道真相。几年后再继续调查，看看谁最幸福。显然，这是荒谬的)可知，因为无法严格实施实验过程，所以很难用随机实验来研究幸福。故选C。11.Where is this text taken from?A. A magazine   B. A diary   C. A science report  D. A textbook.【答案】A【解析】推理判断题。根据第二段第一句“The goal of this column is to help you manage and improve your happiness. ”(本专栏的目的是帮助你管理和提高你的幸福感。)可知，这篇文章取自一本杂志。故选A。D(2021·黑龙江实验中学高三月考)Happiness is an abstract concept. When one thinks of a typical happy person, smiling, laughing and cheering are what usually comes to mind. However, if people stop smiling or laughing, it doesn’t necessarily mean that they are unhappy. Happiness has many different levels, and it is difficult to place the word in one concrete category.Many people believe as people grow older, they will feel more happiness. However, I just find they are not always so. When asking my twelve-year-old sister what made her happy, she initially told me that sleeping made her happy, and then she looked at me for a reaction. When I had none, she changed her answer to food, then to fashion, and then finally to family. Each time she glanced at me, looking for affirmation(肯定)that she had given a “right” answer.My younger cousin, who is even younger than my sister, gave me an answer that surprised me. It wasn’t eating candy or watching TV that made her happy. It was love. Considering the clear differences between my sister and cousin in their answers, I came to see that age doesn’t always largely contribute to happiness.Asking my grandmother what brings her happiness, she immediately answered “her family” without hesitation. This is something I expected, as my grandma is always a family-centered person. This also aligns with her culture, being from Italy and growing up during the 50s, where family values were at its highest point in society.Asking myself this question, I think carefully about my answers. Sure, my family, friends and pets make me happy, but so do reading, writing and watching movies. This is why I have come to the conclusion that I have no answer to my own question.There is no one single thing that makes me the happiest, because, like everybody, my mood depends on many factors. Happiness depends on external factors, as well as one’s personality and age. This is why I have come to the conclusion that the journey of happiness cannot truly be defined, and that there isn’t one thing above all that makes everyone the happiest.【语篇导读】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。作者通过收集不同的人对于快乐的观点，得出结论：快乐无法真正被定义，受很多因素决定。12.What do we know about happiness from Paragraph 1?A. It is pursued by nearly all people.B. It’s difficult to describe it with words.C. Its highest level is often expressed with laughing.D. It may have nothing to do with one’s expressions.【答案】D【解析】细节理解题。根据文章第一段关键句“However, if people stop smiling or laughing, it doesn’t necessarily mean that they are unhappy.(然而，如果人们停止微笑或大笑，这并不一定意味着他们不快乐)”可知，快乐与人的表情是没有关系的。故选D项。13.Comparing her sister’s and cousin’s answers, the author realized that ________.A. happiness comes from very small things  B. age won’t always bring people happinessC. little kids can sometimes give us inspiration  D. some abstract things can make people happier【答案】B【解析】细节理解题。根据文章第三段关键句“Considering the clear differences between my sister and cousin in their answers, I came to see that age doesn't always largely contribute to happiness.(考虑到我妹妹和表妹在答案上的明显差异，我逐渐认识到年龄并不总是对快乐有很大贡献)”可知，在比较妹妹和表妹的回答之后，作者意识到年龄不总是带给人们快乐。故选B项。14.What does the underlined phrase “aligns with” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?A. Is consistent with  B. Is beneficial to  C. Breaks away from D. Gets out of【答案】A【解析】词义猜测题。根据文章第四段划线部分后文内容“being from Italy and growing up during the 50s, where family values were at its highest point in society(来自意大利，成长于50年代，当时家庭价值观在社会上处于顶峰)”结合上文祖母的回答“her family”推测，“aligns with her culture”表示“与她的文化一致”，Is consistent with“与……一致”符合题意。故选A项。15.What conclusion does the author draw about happiness?A. Happiness is hard to achieve.     B. Happiness is determined by many factors.C. The happiest people are often open-minded.  D. One’s family gives him the most happiness.【答案】B【解析】细节理解题。根据文章最后一段关键句“This is why I have come to the conclusion that the journey of happiness cannot truly be defined, and that there isn’t one thing above all that makes everyone the happiest.(这就是为什么我得出这样的结论：快乐之旅无法被真正定义，也没有一件事能让每个人都最快乐)”可知，作者得出结论：快乐由许多因素决定，无法被定义。故选B项。二、七选五根据短文内容，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。(2021·江西高三二模)If winning the lottery may not make us happy, what will? Here are four key lessons from happiness research. It is indeed possible to boost our happiness.    1         2   If you are rich, you can probably strengthen your happiness by regularly checking your bank account. Meanwhile, if you are less well off, avoid situations where you feel poor—and seek out those where comparisons are in your favor. When you think about your net worth, forget your wealthy sister and focus on your brother who can hardly make ends meet.We Like to Feel SecureMidlife is a period of relative unhappiness. This dissatisfaction may arise from the lack of control felt by those in their 40s. By contrast, employees in senior positions,retirees and those with good job security often report being happy. “There’s a profound link between insecurities of all kinds and human well-being,” Prof. Oswald notes, “Supervisors are happier than those who are supervised.    3   ”We Adapt to SetbacksWhile adaptation can work against us when good things happen, it saves us from misery when bad times strike.   ___4___ But adaptation rides to the rescue. Oddly enough, it seems we adjust more quickly if a setback is large or unavoidable. If we become disabled, we will likely adapt with surprising speed.We Enjoy Behaving Kindly    5    We can go for a visit to a nursing home and do something voluntarily; we can donate something to help people in need; or we are just kind and polite to others. All these are good behaviours which are likely to make us happier.A. We Like to CompareB. It, however, will take more than a fat wallet.C. What Matters Is What We Focus onD. It, however, will take more from our wallet.E. If a close friend dies, we imagine we will never laugh again.F. Job loss is negative to mental health while job security is positive.G. If we volunteer, give to charity or behave politely, we usually feel pretty good.【语篇导读】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了从幸福研究中得到的几个可以让人们幸福的关键因素。1.【答案】B【解析】根据上文“If winning the lottery may not make us happy, what will? Here are four key lessons from happiness research. It is indeed possible to boost our happiness.(如果中了彩票可能不会让我们高兴，那会怎样呢？以下是快乐研究中的四个关键经验，它确实有可能提升我们的快乐)”结合下文介绍的几个研究结果可知，想要快乐，仅仅有钱是不够的。B项“然而，这需要的不仅是钱。”符合语境，故选B。2.【答案】A【解析】设空处为本段小标题。根据下文的“Meanwhile, if you are less well off, avoid situations where you feel poor—and seek out those where comparisons are in your favor. When you think about your net worth, forget your wealthy sister and focus on your brother who can hardly make ends meet.(同时，如果你不太富裕，避免那些让你感到贫穷的情况，寻找那些比较有利于你的情况。当你想到你的净资产时，忘掉你富有的姐姐，把注意力放在你难以维持生计的哥哥身上)”可知，本段主要陈述人们通常喜欢比较，通过比较得出有利于自己的情况。A项“我们都喜欢比较”可以作为本段小标题，选项的compare呼应下文的comparison。故选A。3.【答案】F【解析】结合本段小标题“We Like to Feel Secure(我们都喜欢感到安全)”和上文“There’s a profound link between insecurities of all kinds and human well-being,” Prof. Oswald notes, “Supervisors are happier than those who are supervised.(奥斯瓦尔德教授指出：“各种各样的不安全感与人类福祉之间有着深刻的联系，监管者比被监管者更幸福)”可知，下文应承接上文继续讨论安全的相关话题。F项“失业对心理健康有负面影响，而工作安全感对心理健康有正面影响。”符合语境，选项中的negative和security呼应小标题中的secure。故选F。4.【答案】E【解析】根据上文“While adaptation can work against us when good things happen, it saves us from misery when bad times strike.(当好事发生时，适应会对我们不利，但当不幸来临时，它会使我们免于痛苦)”和下文“But adaptation rides to the rescue.(但适应可以拯救)”可推知，设空处陈述了一种不幸的、让人们痛苦的情况。E项“如果一个亲密的朋友去世了，我们想象我们再也不会笑了。”符合语境，且和下文语意紧密。故选E。5.【答案】G【解析】根据本段小标题“We Enjoy Behaving Kindly(我们喜欢友善的行为)”和下文“We can go for a visit to a nursing home and do something voluntarily(我们可以去疗养院做一些自愿的事情)”可知，设空处应该陈述一些表现出我们善良的事情。G项“如果我们做志愿者，捐钱给慈善机构，或者表现得很有礼貌，我们通常会感觉很好。”符合语境，选项中的behave politely呼应小标题中的behaving kindly。故选G。三、完形填空阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。(2021·湖北宜昌市一中高三一模)Starting as a journey to find the true meaning of happiness, The Smile Project began in the late fall of 2011 as Liz drove home from school.“I had all of my windows down and my radio up.

Parents and other adults are responsible for making sure that the basic needs of the family    1   (meet). Their jobs also include teaching and practicing good health habits. They have a responsibility to model good communication    2    other health skills. They also should    3   (courage)young people in the family to practice these skills.Not all responsibilities in the family fall on parents and other adults and children have    4   (specialize)jobs, too. In many families, for example, children share the household chores. Helping around the house is one way to demonstrate that you are responsible.

Some think yes, while others hold the opposite.It is true that with enough money one can buy all the things one wants, and live a life of comfort and security. However, it is equally true that a lack of money causes great distress. It is a common view that money is the root of all evil. The pursuit of money drives many people to cheat and steal. In some places there is nothing that cannot be bought with money, resulting in corrupt societies where everybody is miserable.So, money does not necessarily mean happiness. It all depends on how it is used. If we make honest and sensible use of money, it can be a stepping-stone to happiness. Although money cannot buy happiness, it can make happiness possible if it is employed sensibly.写作(二)(2021·广东深圳外国语学校高三模拟)A long time ago, there was a happy prince and princess in a country. They took care of and loved each other very much, and their country was happy, too. Therefore they didn’t envy anything else. There was one thing they worried about. They wanted to make sure they could live happily forever like this.One day, one of the officials found out the couple’s worry and told them, “Prince, I heard that there is a magic charm(吉祥饰物), and it can protect you from any unfortunate event. If you always carry the magic charm with you, your fear and worry will disappear.” “Is it true? Where can I find that charm?” The prince asked him joyfully. “There is an old man in the forest, and he knows about everything. You can ask him.”The couple visited the old man, and asked for help with their worries and fears. The old man nodded his head as if he knew everything and said, “Travel all around the world. Then, when you meet a very happy couple, ask them to cut a piece of their underwear. If you keep the piece of the underwear, your fear and worry will go away.”The couple appreciated the old man's kindness and set out on the journey. The couple wandered around everywhere and heard about a happy knight and his wife in a town. They went to visit the knight. “Are you really happy like the rumor?” Then the knight answered. “Of course, we are, Prince. But our only worry and problem is that we didn't have any children.”They had to find an absolutely happy couple, so they continued their journey. They visited a happy couple who were famous for their happiness in the next town.And they asked the couple if they were really happy. The couple answered. “Yes, we are very happy. But we have too many children. A mother with a large family of children never has a peaceful day. We worry too much about our children.”They could not get a magic charm this time too,and kept going on their trip. It was very hard to find the happiest couple in the world.One day, the prince couple met a shepherd(牧羊人) and his wife in a big field. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________Feeling disappointed and tired out, the prince couple decided to go back. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________【答案】One day, the prince couple met a shepherd and his wife in a big field. The shepherd was driving a herd of sheep, and his wife took their two children to him. The moment the shepherd saw his family, he ran to them directly, kissing and embracing each of them by turns. Knowing that this was known to be the happiest family they were looking for, the prince couple approached them and asked politely “I am sorry, but could you please cut a piece of your underwear for us?” But the happiest shepherd couple felt confused and said “We would like to help you but we don’t wear any underwear.”Feeling disappointed and tired out, the prince couple decided to go back. Immediately they returned to their country they visited the old wise man, saying that the magic charm was no where to be found. The old man smiled. “Well is our trip a vain effort?” The prince couple thought to themselves for a while and finally, they realized that the true magic charm was in their mind, and happiness depends on themselves. Then they held hands firmly and looked in each other’s eyes, knowing that they would never be unhappy whatever came their way.
