VI.阅读理解

 (2017·河北省冀州中学高三年级考试)

The Healthy Habits Survey(调查)shows that only about one third of American seniors have correct habits. Here are some findings and expert advice.

1．How many times did you brush your teeth yesterday?

Finding: A full 33% of seniors brush their teeth only once a day.

Step: Remove the 300 types of bacteria in your mouth each morning with a battery­operated toothbrush. Brush gently for 2 minutes, at least twice a day.

2．How many times did you wash your hands or bathe yesterday?

Finding: Seniors, on average, bathe fewer than 3 days a week. And nearly 30% wash their hands only 4 times a day—half of the number doctors recommend.

Step: We touch our faces around 3,000 times a day—often inviting germs(病菌)to enter our mouth, nose, and eyes. Use toilet paper to avoid touching the door handle. And, most important, wash your hands often with hot running water and soap for 20 seconds.

3．How often do you think about fighting germs?

Finding: Seniors are not fighting germs as well as they should.

Step: Be aware of germs. Do you know it is not your toilet but your kitchen sponge (海绵) that can carry more germs than anything else? To kill these germs, keep your sponge in the microwave for 10 seconds.

B．Nearly 30% of them bathe three days a week.

答案与解析

本文为说明文。文章介绍的是一个对美国老年人健康习惯调查的结果以及专家给出的对策。

1．D　细节理解题。根据文章开头部分可知，多数美国老年人没有好的习惯，故A项错误；30%的美国老年人每天洗手四次，而不是每周洗澡三天，故B项错误；根据第三个问题下Finding中的内容“Seniors are not fighting germs as well as they should.”可知C项错误。根据第一个问题下Finding中的内容“A full 33% of seniors brush their teeth only once a day.”可知D项表述正确。

Ⅱ.七选五

(2017·内蒙古赤峰二中月考)

While going through life with the pursuit of money on our mind, we're often told that money can't buy happiness. But what truth is there in the saying? Is there a relation between money and happiness? __1__

Humans are very sensitive to change. When we get a rise, we really enjoy it. But some studies have shown that in North America, additional income beyond 75,000 dollars a year stops impacting day­to­day happiness. __2__They often end up spending all the money, going into debt, and experience ruined social relationships.

So surely money can't really buy happiness. Well, recent studies suggest that the problem may actually be in the way that we spend money.__3__ Studies show that people who spend their money on others feel happier. As for the people who spend money on themselves, their happiness is unchanged.

__4__ One experiment showed that instead of an organization writing a large check to a charity, dividing the amount up among employees, allowing them to contribute to a charity of their choice, increased their job satisfaction. Similarly, individuals that spend money on each other, as opposed to themselves, not only increase job satisfaction, but improve the team performance.

__5__ Interestingly, the specific way money is spent on others isn't important. Spending something on others is the important aspect of increasing your happiness.

A．The same principle has been tested on teams and organizations as well.

B．Money has more effect on the vast majority of people in the long run.

C．Instead of buying things for yourself, try giving some of it to other people and see how you feel.

D．And if so, how can we use it to our advantage?

E．Almost everywhere we look in the world, we see that giving money to others is positively related to happiness.

F．And while you're saving up for these greatest experiences, don't forget the daily joys in life.

G．In fact, people who win a lottery often report becoming extremely unhappy.

答案与解析

这篇文章探讨金钱和幸福的关系。

1．D　考查对上下文语境的理解。空前的意思是：但这个说法有何真理？金钱和幸福之间有关连性吗？这里选D(而若有的话，我们该如何善加利用它呢？)与上下文一致。

4．A　考查对上下文语境的理解。空后的意思：一项实验显示，与其公司组织写张巨额支票给慈善团体，不如把那金额在员工之间均分，让他们捐给自己选择的慈善团体，提升他们的工作满意度。所以这里选A(同样的原理也已在团队跟公司组织中测试过)与上下文一致。

5．E　考查对上下文语境的理解。空后句意：有趣的是，钱以什么特定方式花在别人身上并不重要。花些钱在别人身上是提升你幸福感的重要方面。所以这里选E(我们在世界上探究几乎每个地方，发现给予别人金钱或礼物和幸福感是正面相关连的)与上下文一致。
