    Growing up, Cassie Holmes was known as “Little Miss Happiness”. A cheerful outlook seemed to come naturally to her—or at least nothing in her life suggested that the word was anything but a sunny place.

    Then, just a week before she was to marry her childhood sweetheart, her cellphone rang: her fiance had abruptly decided to call things off. The experience left her ashamed and depressed. “I was confronted with the harsh reality that had things happened,” Ms. Holmes writes. “Feeling this depth of unhappiness forced me to realize that I shouldn’t rely on my preference to experience happiness going forward.”

    Ms. Holmes, a social psychologist at UCLA’s Anderson School, was studying exactly how people can make themselves feel better and get through tough situations. In “Happier Hour: Focus on What Matters Most”, she vividly conveys what she has learned from her study. Happiness is a well-covered topic, and so Ms. Holmes has focused her research on how people can spend their time to boost well-being.

    One of the first misconceptions she tackles is that more free time is always better. Her analysis of time-use data and well-being finds that people are the happiest with 2 to 5hours of free time per day—a nice reality check for anyone fantasizing (幻想) about quitting a job to move to a tropical island. It is also a comforting statistic for those who, like Ms. Holmes, are raising young kids. Two hours is achievable if 10 is not, and 10, it turns out, may not be better anyway.

    Life will always include episodes and events that almost seem to lower our spirits. “Happiness is a choice,” she writes. “How we decide to approach our hours and spend our days determines the happiness we get to enjoy in life.”

4. What are the first two paragraphs intended for?

A.Displaying Holmes’ happy childhood.

B.Describing Holmes’ failed marriage.

C.Showing what sparked Holmes’ study.

D.Making Holmes’ experience known.

5. What does Holmes’ study concentrate on?

A.Physical and mental well-being. B.The harsh reality a person faces.

C.The general concept of happiness. D.A person’s time-related happiness.

6. How does Holmes rate the idea of “quitting a job to move to a tropical island”?

A.Unbelievable. B.Unacceptable. C.Appealing. D.Practical.

7. What does the author try to tell us in the last paragraph?

A.Our life is full of ups and downs.

B.Happiness is hard for us to seek.

C.We are the masters of our happiness.

D.Determination is the key to happiness.

C

 To raise money for restaurant workers who had to stay at home during COVID, two brothers, Aiden and Louis Ardine, decided to walk 3,200 miles across America to raise money.

    Having just arrived on the sands of the Pacific Ocean, Aiden and Louis Ardine have now completed their five-month walk which started on the Asbury Park boardwalk in New Jersey. They hoped to raise $30,000 for some charities (慈善组织) that were helping restaurant workers waiting for lockdown (隔离) to end, but ended up making $70,000 — which they gave way to the COCO Fund and the Restaurant Workers’ Community Foundation.

    “This would not have been possible without the help of a huge community of people, whether people were donating or helping us guide our way across the United States.” said Aiden Ardine. “This was surely an adventure full of hope, and it proved people are born good and want to help their neighbors.”

    Just like cross-country trips in this nation, their journey was characterized by amazing views, long roads, and helpful strangers: like a man who passed them in the extreme heat of summertime Iowa, before doubling back and giving them a cold Gatorade; or a Nevada campground manager who left them stay for free.

    In Utah they had what the naturalist John Muir would have described as an “interview” with a black bear, when rounding a corner in the path, they found themselves within a few feet of it.

    When they reached San Francisco, their supporters were waiting for them on the beach. Afterwards they flew home along with their mom who had been there to meet them. After their adventurous stay away from home, we can only imagine she was really feeling proud of her sons.

8. What did the two brothers collect money for?
   A.Setting up some charities.
   B.Helping to end the lockdown.
   C.Completing their five-month walk.
   D.Aiding restaurant workers stuck at home.
   9. Which word can best describe the two brothers?
   A.Humorous. B.Caring. C.Curious. D.Honest.
   10. What happened to the brothers in Utah?
   A.They met with a bear.  B.They were interviewed.
   C.They visited a naturalist. D.They were lost in the path.
   11. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?
   A.A Long Journey B.Walk with Love C.A Proud Mother D.Adventure with Fun

D

People use laughter to connect and bond with others. It’s how we tell friends that we find their jokes funny, or how kids in a park show that they are having fun. Laughter is so important to humans, even if they belong to different cultures or speak different languages. What about animals? Scientists are studying if there is a connection between animals’ laughing and playing.

Sasha Winkler, from the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), studies biological anthropology (人类学)，including the study of animal behavior. She noticed that the small monkeys she worked with, liked to play together by chasing each other. While having fun together, they made panting (喘气) sounds, almost like they were out of breath, which reminded Winkler of their quiet laughter. This made Winkler wonder whether other animals did so while they were playing.

To find out whether other animals laugh and play, Winkler teamed up with another scientist named Greg Bryant, a professor and vice chair in the Department of Communication at UCLA. Together, they found and read dozens of reports written by other scientists who study animals. Winkler and Bryant looked for any mentions in any animal of sound signaling like the panting of the monkeys during their playing.

In April 2021, Winkler and Bryant published their findings in a science journal. Through their research, they identified 65 species or groups of animals, which laugh while playing. The animals that laugh the most include primates (灵长类) like monkeys and apes, rodents (啮齿动物) like rats, and mammals that live in the ocean like dolphins. Their work won’t only help us understand animals better but it could also help us understand how humans develop or change over time. Next, they will carry on more study to find more.

12. What is the function of paragraph 1?

A. To conclude the main idea.

B. To put forward the topic.

C. To offer the supporting evidences.

D. To add the background information.

13. What are the small monkeys like when they are having fun?

A. They can hardly breathe.

B. They tend to laugh separately.

C. They laugh at a low sound.

D. They don’t laugh at all.

14. What do we know about Winkler and Bryant’s study?

A. It is great progress in the study of animals and humans.

B. It is only based on the findings in a science journal.

C. Over 65 groups of animals laugh while playing.

D. They do the research only by studying primates and rodents.

15. In which section of a newspaper may this text appear?

A. Science.  B. Education. 

C. Health.  D. Entertainment.

第二节  读后续写 (满分25分)

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。

    In the 1970s, when I was a new teacher at a school in Detroit, I was arranged to teach a particularly talented class. The students included a little girl named Mary Kay, who had spent only one year at our school—the year that I had her in my third-grade class.

    Her father was Billy Kim, a quite famous man. He was from South Korea. His daughter Mary Kay could speak beautiful English, and loved smiling. She had great respect for learning and never made trouble in class.

    In one class, I asked Mary Kay to read an article in our book out loud. To my surprise, although Mary Kay could speak beautiful, flowing English, she was poor in reading. She even mispronounced many words. Immediately, the kids in the class laughed at her.

    Then I said to Mary Kay, “Why don't you go and write some words in your native language on the blackboard for everyone?” Mary Kay's eyes suddenly brightened, and she walked with a smile to the board, full of new­found confidence.

    The other children watched as she wrote word after word along with her name in her native language. The whole class immediately watched with a bit of respect and amazement, not pity. Then one of the students said, “Write my name, Mary Kay.” And she did. Then more students asked. Soon, the whole class had their names on the board, and Mary Kay became a heroine. She could do something the others could not. She went from feeling inadequate (能力不足的) to feeling proud. In the following days, I still often encouraged Mary Kay.

    After Mary Kay finished her third grade, I had never met her and lost contact with her. About 30 years later, I happened to meet with her father in a local church. And I decided to ask him about Mary Kay, so I introduced myself first.

Dear Jim,

    A creative culture products competition entitled "the Beauty of China" is being held in our school. Learning that you are a Chinese culture lover, I'm writing to introduce some information to you briefly.

    The competition is intended to help the students know more about Chinese culture and spread it widely, which can enrich our knowledge and strengthen our national sense of pride. In the competition, the participants are allowed to choose any form of products they like to show their design philosophy as long as it is consistent with the theme of the competition. Being a fan for Peking Opera, I designed a white T-shirt for the contest, with two different pictures of Peking Opera Facial Masks on the front and back respectively to present the beauty of Chinese traditional art culture.

    I would like to provide you with more details if you need and I believe you will be interested. Looking forward to your early reply.

Yours,

Li Hua

48. 答案：

    “Hello, Mr Kim, I'm Sophia Brown,” I said. “I was your daughter's third-grade teacher when your family was living in Detroit. Do you remember me?” I added. All of a sudden, his eyes were filled with surprise. Then he said excitedly, “Yes. Mrs Brown. Mary Kay has been looking for you for thirty years！” Then he sent my phone number to Mary. Not long afterward, my phone rang. It was Mary Kay, who had become a grown woman and also a teacher. I was so glad that we were connected again.

    She told me how much my class had influenced her life. It increased her confidence in herself, and most importantly, it led to her later determination to influence her students as I did on her. Not long after that talk, Mary went to further study at Harvard University and became a professor. She continued to influence lives for decades to follow. I had never thought one action mattered so much. Meanwhile, I was glad that she kept encouraging and supporting her students who might face what she had faced. I was proud of her.
