M: No, he’s able to get things done by himself thanks to a high tech computer system which he carries around with him.
W: I can’t see anything. Where is it then? M: It’s actually located inside his chest area.

Several years ago, my father decided to volunteer at the local children hospital. My dad loved kids. It was the perfect job for him. He would talk to them and play with them and do arts and crafts with them.
There was a girl, Karen, who had been admitted with a rare disease that paralyzed (使麻痹) her from the neck down. She was very depressed. My dad decided to try to help her. He started visiting her in her room, bringing paints, brushes and paper. He stood the paper up against a backing, put the paintbrush in his mouth and began to paint. He didn’t use his hands at all. Only his head would move. He would visit her whenever he could and paint for her, telling her, “See, you can do anything you set your mind to.”
At the end of the day, she began to paint using her mouth, and she and my dad became friends. Soon after, the little girl was discharged (允许出院) because the doctors felt there was nothing else they could do for her. Some time later, my dad was at the volunteer counter in the lobby (门厅) of the hospital when Karen came in. She ran straight over to my dad and hugged him really tight. She gave my dad a picture she had done using her hands. At the bottom it read “Thank you for helping me walk”.

Jim Thorpe is one of the greatest athletes of all time. He had amazing athletic abilities and was well⁃known during his lifetime, yet that did not make Thorpe a stranger to difficult situations.
Thorpe was an American Indian from Oklahoma who developed his extraordinary athletic skills in his youth through hard labor. Many would say his childhood was not easy. He grew up poor and at age 9 his twin brother passed away and a few years later he lost both of his parents.
But that did not stop him from doing what he loved and pursuing his dreams. Nothing seemed to stop him. Just hours before Thorpe was going to compete in the 1912 Olympics, somebody stole his shoes. Thorpe improvised (临时拼凑) by getting shoes out of the garbage. The shoes were in two different sizes. He wore an extra pair of socks on one foot to even them up (使平衡).
He still went on to win two gold medals—winning each event he competed in except for one, the javelin (标枪比赛). The javelin was the only event he didn’t win, probably because he had never competed in that event before. It is interesting to note that Thorpe had tried to throw the javelin once before in the Olympic trials. At the time, he didn’t know that he could throw it with a running start. He threw it standing still and was placed second.
At the Olympics, he also took part in the decathlon (十项全能运动). He finished first in two events, third in four events, and fourth in two more. Thorpe ended up finishing third in the world. He was undoubtedly a dominating force that couldn’t be stopped and just kept on going.
I think Paul Dughi said it best, “It’s hard to imagine now that pro athletes get paid millions of dollars just to wear a particular brand of shoes. For Jim Thorpe, it didn’t matter what kind he wore.”
28. What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 1 refer to?
A. The difficult situations Thorpe met with led to his success.
B. Thorpe’s success was no guarantee of a better life.
C. Thorpe’s career brought him both gains and losses.
D. Thorpe suffered many difficulties despite his success.
29. Why did Thorpe wear more socks on one foot?
A. To stop the foot from being injured. B. To make the shoe fit the foot.
C. To stop the shoe from being stolen. D. To show his problem⁃solving skills.
30. What most likely led to Thorpe’s failure to win the javelin?
A. The loss of his own sports shoes. B. A casual attitude towards the event.
C. The lack of experience in the event. D. A shortage of talent for the event.
31. Which of the following words can best describe Jim Thorpe?
A. Outgoing and enthusiastic. B. Honest and creative.
C. Tough and strong-minded. D. Selfless and good-tempered.
【答案】28. D 29. B 30. C 31. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。介绍了美国印第安人吉姆·索普坎坷的人生经历和他作为运动员所取得的骄人成绩。
【28题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第二段“Thorpe was an American Indian from Oklahoma who developed his extraordinary athletic skills in his youth through hard labor. Many would say his childhood was not easy. He grew up poor and at age 9 his twin brother passed away and a few years later he lost both of his parents.（索普是来自俄克拉荷马州的美洲印第安人，他在年轻时通过艰苦劳动发展了非凡的运动技能。许多人会说他的童年并不容易。他出身贫寒，9岁时双胞胎兄弟去世，几年后他失去了双亲。）”可知,吉姆·索普经历了很多苦难，幼年时双胞胎兄弟过世，随后父母双亡：以及划线句前面的yet表转折意义，可知，划线部分的意思是虽然索普后来有所成就，但却经历了很多苦难。故选D。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段的“He wore an extra pair of socks on one foot to even them up (使平衡).（鞋子有两个不同的尺寸，他一只脚上多穿了一双袜子来平衡。）”可知，两只鞋大小不一，因此索普多穿袜子就是为了让鞋合脚。故选B。
【30题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段的“because he had never competed in that event before.（因为他以前从未参加过那个项目）”可知，他没有参加过标枪比赛，因此比赛经验不足最可能是他失利的原因。故选C。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“Thorpe was an American Indian from Oklahoma who developed his extraordinary athletic skills in his youth through hard labor. Many would say his childhood was not easy. He grew up poor and at age 9 his twin brother passed away and a few years later he lost both of his parents.（索普是来自俄克拉荷马州的美国印第安人，他在年轻时通过艰苦的劳动培养了非凡的运动技能。很多人会说他的童年并不容易。他在贫困中长大，9岁时他的双胞胎兄弟去世了，几年后他失去了双亲。）”可知，吉姆·索普成长过程中经历过很多苦难，这很大程度上塑造了他坚韧不拔的性格。第三段的“But that did not stop him from doing what he loved and pursuing his dreams. Nothing seemed to stop him. Just hours before Thorpe was going to compete in the 1912 Olympics, somebody stole his shoes.（但这并没有阻止他去做他喜欢的事情，去追求他的梦想。似乎没有什么能阻止他。索普准备参加1912年奥运会的几个小时前，有人偷走了他的鞋子。）”正是对他坚韧不拔性格的刻画，由此可知，tough(坚韧的)和strong-minded(意志坚定的)是对他最准确的描述。故选C。
D
“Funny or die” has a whole new meaning, thanks to a study published in April in a medicaljoumal. Women with a strong sense of humor were found to live longer although they were ill, especially for those with heart problems and infection (感染). Happy men seemed to be protected against infection.
The researchers reported the findings from a 15-year study on the connection between the sense of humor and death among 53,556 women and men in their country. The team studied the influence of humor on people’s way of thinking, social skills and emotion development, and examined death from different conditions: heart problems, infection and other health problems.
The findings showed that for women, those who had high scores on a humorous way of thinking had a 48 percent less risk of death from all causes, a 73 percent lower risk of death from heart problems and an 83 percent lower risk of death from infection. For men, a connection was found only for the risk of death from infection — those with high humor scores had a 74 percent reduced risk. The researchers suggested the sex differences could be due to a small decrease in humor scores as the men aged. No connection was found for the influence of rumor on social skills and emotion development.
“The humorous way of thinking plays an important role in people’s personality (性格) and may influence the way people cope with everyday life,” said study co-researcher Sven Svebak. “In this way, it may help reduce fighting in daily life, preventing the build-up of stress.” Although the sense of humor is a natural characteristic (特征), it can also be developed through social activities.
“I expect that children whose parents have no sense of humor when feeing challenges are less likely to develop their sense of humor to cope with everyday life when they grow up,” Sven Svebak said. “But if you had a humorless childhood, never fear — studies show people can learn to be humorous at any age.”
32. What can we learn from the first paragraph?
A. Humor could benefit people’s health.
B. Joyflil women can live longer than happy men.
C. Women who seldom laugh may fall ill easily.
D. Humor makes people pay more attention to their health.
33. The reason for men having a higher risk of death from infection than women is that ________.
A. men have poor memories as they age
B. men become less humorous as they grow older
C. men have bad sleeping quality as they grow older
D. men take part in fewer social activities as they age
34. How does the author show the research findings?
A. By listing data.
B. By giving examples.
C. By stating arguments.
D By making experiments.
35. Which of the following would Sven Svebak agree with?
A. Humoriess people have an unhappy childhood.
B. Children must learn to be humorous at an early age.
C. Humorous people can better deal with pressure in life.
D. Parents with a sense of humor are better at child education.
【答案】32. A 33. B 34. A 35. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了幽默感与死亡之间的联系，幽默感强的人死于各种疾病的风险较低。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“Women with a strong sense of humor were found to live longer although they were ill, especially for those with heart problems and infection. Happy men seemed to be protected against infection.(研究发现，幽默感强的女性即使生病也能活得更长，尤其是那些有心脏问题和感染的女性。快乐的男人似乎可以免受感染)”可知，幽默可能使得人免受疾病感染，即使生病也能活得更长，即幽默有益于人们的健康。故选A。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“The findings showed that for women, those who had high scores on a humorous way of thinking had a 48 percent less risk of death from all causes, a 73 percent lower risk of death from heart problems and an 83 percent lower risk of death from infection. For men, a connection was found only for the risk of death from infection — those with high humor scores had a 74 percent reduced risk. The researchers suggested the sex differences could be due to a small decrease in humor scores as the men aged.(研究结果表明，对于女性来说，那些在幽默思维方式上得分较高的人，死于各种原因的风险降低48%，死于心脏问题的风险降低73%，死于感染的风险降低83%。对于男性来说，只有感染死亡的风险才有关联——那些幽默得分高的人的风险降低了74%。研究人员认为，性别差异可能是由于随着男性年龄的增长，幽默得分略有下降)”可知，男性感染的死亡风险高于女性是由于随着年龄的增长，男性的幽默得分略有下降，即男性越老越不幽默。故选B。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“The findings showed that for women, those who had high scores on a humorous way of thinking had a 48 percent less risk of death from all causes, a 73 percent lower risk of death from heart problems and an 83 percent lower risk of death from infection. For men, a connection was found only for the risk of death from infection — those with high humor scores had a 74 percent reduced risk.

【36题详解】
根据上文“Most successful people have one characteristic in common: they are strong-minded. Someone with a strong mind is mentally tough but they aren’t too stubborn to grow and adapt to new situations, either. You can achieve it with some work and patience, just like you would train your body in a gym.(大多数成功人士都有一个共同的特点：他们意志坚强。意志坚强的人在精神上很坚强，但他们也不会因为太固执而无法成长和适应新环境。你可以通过一些努力和耐心来实现它，就像你在健身房锻炼身体一样)”可知，上文提到了意志坚强的特点，结合后文主要论述了建立坚强品质的建议。故C选项“如果你想要一个更强大的头脑，试试下面的建议”符合语境，故选C。
【37题详解】
根据上文“Quiet your mind. Practice letting go of unnecessary worries and distractions, so you can focus on more important things. If you want to regain focus in the moment, you can try writing down what keeps popping up in your head. When you get these thoughts out of your head, you’ll be able to focus better.(让你的大脑安静下来。练习放下不必要的担忧和干扰，这样你就可以把注意力集中在更重要的事情上。如果你想重新集中注意力，你可以试着写下你脑海中不断出现的东西。当你把这些想法从脑子里赶出去时，你就能更好地集中注意力)”可知，上文提到了写下你脑海中不断出现的东西，以及为了集中注意力把这些想法从脑子里赶出去，本句为本段最后一句，故说明应该如何处理这些想法，E选项中thoughts or ideas对应上文thoughts。故E选项“稍后花些时间来关注这些想法或创意”符合语境，故选E。
【38题详解】
根据上文“Also, ask people who you’re close to about yourself.(另外，问问你亲近的人关于你自己的事情)”以及后文“This can be a powerful tool in self-discovery.(这是自我发现的有力工具)”可知，本句主要是在说明让亲近的人问关于你的什么样的问题，从而让你进行自我发现，F选项中them指代上文people who you’re close to。故F选项“问他们你最快乐的时候有什么特点”符合语境，故选F。
【39题详解】
根据本段内容“Think about what drives you to achieve in your day-to-day life. If you often find yourself just trying to get through the day, ask yourself what you would do with your time if you didn’t have to worry about basic concerns like money.(想想你在日常生活中取得成就的动力。如果你经常发现自己只是在努力度过一天，问问自己，如果你不必担心像钱这样的基本问题，你会如何利用你的时间)”可知，后文提到了想想你在日常生活中取得成就的动力，即寻找自己的动力所在，A选项中motivates对应后文drives。故A选项“找出你的动力”符合语境，故选A。
【40题详解】
根据上文“Create actionable short-term goals. Now that you have a general understanding of where you want to go, break those long-term goals down.(制定可行的短期目标。既然你对自己的目标有了大致的了解，那么就把这些长期目标分解一下)”可知，上文提到了分解长期目标，故本句承接上文说明这么做的意义：让你避免不知所措，帮助你保持正轨。故G选项“这可以让你避免不知所措，帮助你保持正轨”符合语境，故选G。

考查名词。句意：澳大利亚的研究人员Oscar Schwartz创建了一个名为“机器人与否”网站。此处应用名词作Oscar Schwartz的同位语，故应用名词“researcher研究人员”，其空前有冠词an，故此处应用单数形式，故填researcher。
【62题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：Schwartz发表了一个演讲，他在演讲中说道，网站上的一些诗歌很容易骗过65%的读者。此处引导定语从句，先行词为speech，指物，在非限定性定语从句中作介词in的宾语，故应用which引导，故填which。

【64题详解】
考查冠词。句意：他说，在他的网站上，他希望人们可以质疑人类和机器之间的区别，并且能够识别是什么让我们是人类。此处用定冠词特指人类和机器在写诗之间的区别，故填the。

A MOTHER’S DAY SURPRISE
The twins were filled with excitement as they thought of the surprise they were planning for Mother’s Day. How pleased and proud Mother would be when they brought her breakfast in bed. They planned to make French toast and chicken porridge. They had watched their mother in the kitchen. There was nothing to it. Jenna and Jeff knew exactly what to do.
The big day came at last. The alarm rang at 6 a.m. The pair went down the stairs quietly to the kitchen. They decided to boil the porridge first. They put some rice into a pot of water and left it to boil while they made the French toast. Jeff broke two eggs into a plate and added in some milk. Jenna found the bread and put two slices into the egg mixture. Next, Jeff turned on the second stove burner to heat up the frying pan. Everything was going smoothly until Jeff started frying the bread. The pan was too hot and the bread turned black within seconds. Jenna threw the burnt piece into the sink and put in the other slice of bread. This time, she turned down the fire so it cooked nicely.
Then Jeff noticed steam shooting out of the pot and the lid starting to shake. The next minute, the porridge boiled over and put out the fire. Jenna panicked. Thankfully, Jeff stayed calm and turned off the gas quickly. But the stove was a mess now. Jenna told Jeff to clean it up so they could continue to cook the rest of the porridge. But Jeff’s hand touched the hot burner and he gave a cry of pain. Jenna made him put his hand in cold water. Then she caught the smell of burning. Oh dear! The piece of bread in the pan had turned black as well.

【答案】 As the twins looked around them in disappointment, their father appeared. Father’s appearing was like a savior to the two children. Under the guidance of their father, they took positive actions and started all over again. They made the bread and then went on cooking porridge. Father helped them adjust the fire, which was the key to success. It was all right this time. Delicious breakfast was ready. How happy they were!
The twins carried the breakfast upstairs and woke their mother up. When their mother saw the delicious and perfect breakfast in front of her, she was very surprised. It was not only the gift, but the love of the children for her that moved her very much. The two children could finish cooking a breakfast, which she didn’t expect. The children said loudly, “Happy Mother’s Day!” Mother hugged them tightly and kissed them again and again.

W: I can’t see anything. Where is it then? M: It’s actually located inside his chest area.

Several years ago, my father decided to volunteer at the local children hospital. My dad loved kids. It was the perfect job for him. He would talk to them and play with them and do arts and crafts with them.
There was a girl, Karen, who had been admitted with a rare disease that paralyzed (使麻痹) her from the neck down. She was very depressed. My dad decided to try to help her. He started visiting her in her room, bringing paints, brushes and paper. He stood the paper up against a backing, put the paintbrush in his mouth and began to paint. He didn’t use his hands at all. Only his head would move. He would visit her whenever he could and paint for her, telling her, “See, you can do anything you set your mind to.”
At the end of the day, she began to paint using her mouth, and she and my dad became friends. Soon after, the little girl was discharged (允许出院) because the doctors felt there was nothing else they could do for her. Some time later, my dad was at the volunteer counter in the lobby (门厅) of the hospital when Karen came in. She ran straight over to my dad and hugged him really tight. She gave my dad a picture she had done using her hands. At the bottom it read “Thank you for helping me walk”.
My dad would cry every time he told us this story. He would say sometimes love is more powerful than doctors, and my dad who died just a few months after the little girl gave him the picture—loved every single child in that hospital.

Jim Thorpe is one of the greatest athletes of all time. He had amazing athletic abilities and was well⁃known during his lifetime, yet that did not make Thorpe a stranger to difficult situations.
Thorpe was an American Indian from Oklahoma who developed his extraordinary athletic skills in his youth through hard labor. Many would say his childhood was not easy. He grew up poor and at age 9 his twin brother passed away and a few years later he lost both of his parents.
But that did not stop him from doing what he loved and pursuing his dreams. Nothing seemed to stop him. Just hours before Thorpe was going to compete in the 1912 Olympics, somebody stole his shoes. Thorpe improvised (临时拼凑) by getting shoes out of the garbage. The shoes were in two different sizes. He wore an extra pair of socks on one foot to even them up (使平衡).
He still went on to win two gold medals—winning each event he competed in except for one, the javelin (标枪比赛). The javelin was the only event he didn’t win, probably because he had never competed in that event before. It is interesting to note that Thorpe had tried to throw the javelin once before in the Olympic trials. At the time, he didn’t know that he could throw it with a running start. He threw it standing still and was placed second.
At the Olympics, he also took part in the decathlon (十项全能运动). He finished first in two events, third in four events, and fourth in two more. Thorpe ended up finishing third in the world. He was undoubtedly a dominating force that couldn’t be stopped and just kept on going.
I think Paul Dughi said it best, “It’s hard to imagine now that pro athletes get paid millions of dollars just to wear a particular brand of shoes. For Jim Thorpe, it didn’t matter what kind he wore.”
28. What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 1 refer to?
A. The difficult situations Thorpe met with led to his success.
B. Thorpe’s success was no guarantee of a better life.
C. Thorpe’s career brought him both gains and losses.
D. Thorpe suffered many difficulties despite his success.
29. Why did Thorpe wear more socks on one foot?
A. To stop the foot from being injured. B. To make the shoe fit the foot.
C. To stop the shoe from being stolen. D. To show his problem⁃solving skills.
30. What most likely led to Thorpe’s failure to win the javelin?
A. The loss of his own sports shoes. B. A casual attitude towards the event.
C. The lack of experience in the event. D. A shortage of talent for the event.
31. Which of the following words can best describe Jim Thorpe?
A. Outgoing and enthusiastic. B. Honest and creative.
C. Tough and strong-minded. D. Selfless and good-tempered.
【答案】28. D 29. B 30. C 31. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。介绍了美国印第安人吉姆·索普坎坷的人生经历和他作为运动员所取得的骄人成绩。
【28题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第二段“Thorpe was an American Indian from Oklahoma who developed his extraordinary athletic skills in his youth through hard labor. Many would say his childhood was not easy. He grew up poor and at age 9 his twin brother passed away and a few years later he lost both of his parents.（索普是来自俄克拉荷马州的美洲印第安人，他在年轻时通过艰苦劳动发展了非凡的运动技能。许多人会说他的童年并不容易。他出身贫寒，9岁时双胞胎兄弟去世，几年后他失去了双亲。）”可知,吉姆·索普经历了很多苦难，幼年时双胞胎兄弟过世，随后父母双亡：以及划线句前面的yet表转折意义，可知，划线部分的意思是虽然索普后来有所成就，但却经历了很多苦难。故选D。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段的“He wore an extra pair of socks on one foot to even them up (使平衡).（鞋子有两个不同的尺寸，他一只脚上多穿了一双袜子来平衡。）”可知，两只鞋大小不一，因此索普多穿袜子就是为了让鞋合脚。故选B。
【30题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段的“because he had never competed in that event before.（因为他以前从未参加过那个项目）”可知，他没有参加过标枪比赛，因此比赛经验不足最可能是他失利的原因。故选C。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“Thorpe was an American Indian from Oklahoma who developed his extraordinary athletic skills in his youth through hard labor. Many would say his childhood was not easy. He grew up poor and at age 9 his twin brother passed away and a few years later he lost both of his parents.（索普是来自俄克拉荷马州的美国印第安人，他在年轻时通过艰苦的劳动培养了非凡的运动技能。很多人会说他的童年并不容易。他在贫困中长大，9岁时他的双胞胎兄弟去世了，几年后他失去了双亲。）”可知，吉姆·索普成长过程中经历过很多苦难，这很大程度上塑造了他坚韧不拔的性格。第三段的“But that did not stop him from doing what he loved and pursuing his dreams. Nothing seemed to stop him. Just hours before Thorpe was going to compete in the 1912 Olympics, somebody stole his shoes.（但这并没有阻止他去做他喜欢的事情，去追求他的梦想。似乎没有什么能阻止他。索普准备参加1912年奥运会的几个小时前，有人偷走了他的鞋子。）”正是对他坚韧不拔性格的刻画，由此可知，tough(坚韧的)和strong-minded(意志坚定的)是对他最准确的描述。故选C。
D
“Funny or die” has a whole new meaning, thanks to a study published in April in a medicaljoumal. Women with a strong sense of humor were found to live longer although they were ill, especially for those with heart problems and infection (感染). Happy men seemed to be protected against infection.
The researchers reported the findings from a 15-year study on the connection between the sense of humor and death among 53,556 women and men in their country. The team studied the influence of humor on people’s way of thinking, social skills and emotion development, and examined death from different conditions: heart problems, infection and other health problems.
The findings showed that for women, those who had high scores on a humorous way of thinking had a 48 percent less risk of death from all causes, a 73 percent lower risk of death from heart problems and an 83 percent lower risk of death from infection. For men, a connection was found only for the risk of death from infection — those with high humor scores had a 74 percent reduced risk. The researchers suggested the sex differences could be due to a small decrease in humor scores as the men aged. No connection was found for the influence of rumor on social skills and emotion development.
“The humorous way of thinking plays an important role in people’s personality (性格) and may influence the way people cope with everyday life,” said study co-researcher Sven Svebak. “In this way, it may help reduce fighting in daily life, preventing the build-up of stress.” Although the sense of humor is a natural characteristic (特征), it can also be developed through social activities.
“I expect that children whose parents have no sense of humor when feeing challenges are less likely to develop their sense of humor to cope with everyday life when they grow up,” Sven Svebak said. “But if you had a humorless childhood, never fear — studies show people can learn to be humorous at any age.”
32. What can we learn from the first paragraph?
A. Humor could benefit people’s health.
B. Joyflil women can live longer than happy men.
C. Women who seldom laugh may fall ill easily.
D. Humor makes people pay more attention to their health.
33. The reason for men having a higher risk of death from infection than women is that ________.
A. men have poor memories as they age
B. men become less humorous as they grow older
C. men have bad sleeping quality as they grow older
D. men take part in fewer social activities as they age
34. How does the author show the research findings?
A. By listing data.
B. By giving examples.
C. By stating arguments.
D By making experiments.
35. Which of the following would Sven Svebak agree with?
A. Humoriess people have an unhappy childhood.
B. Children must learn to be humorous at an early age.
C. Humorous people can better deal with pressure in life.
D. Parents with a sense of humor are better at child education.
【答案】32. A 33. B 34. A 35. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了幽默感与死亡之间的联系，幽默感强的人死于各种疾病的风险较低。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“Women with a strong sense of humor were found to live longer although they were ill, especially for those with heart problems and infection. Happy men seemed to be protected against infection.(研究发现，幽默感强的女性即使生病也能活得更长，尤其是那些有心脏问题和感染的女性。快乐的男人似乎可以免受感染)”可知，幽默可能使得人免受疾病感染，即使生病也能活得更长，即幽默有益于人们的健康。故选A。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“The findings showed that for women, those who had high scores on a humorous way of thinking had a 48 percent less risk of death from all causes, a 73 percent lower risk of death from heart problems and an 83 percent lower risk of death from infection. For men, a connection was found only for the risk of death from infection — those with high humor scores had a 74 percent reduced risk. The researchers suggested the sex differences could be due to a small decrease in humor scores as the men aged.(研究结果表明，对于女性来说，那些在幽默思维方式上得分较高的人，死于各种原因的风险降低48%，死于心脏问题的风险降低73%，死于感染的风险降低83%。对于男性来说，只有感染死亡的风险才有关联——那些幽默得分高的人的风险降低了74%。研究人员认为，性别差异可能是由于随着男性年龄的增长，幽默得分略有下降)”可知，男性感染的死亡风险高于女性是由于随着年龄的增长，男性的幽默得分略有下降，即男性越老越不幽默。故选B。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“The findings showed that for women, those who had high scores on a humorous way of thinking had a 48 percent less risk of death from all causes, a 73 percent lower risk of death from heart problems and an 83 percent lower risk of death from infection.

【35题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段““I expect that children whose parents have no sense of humor when feeling challenges are less likely to develop their sense of humor to cope with everyday life when they grow up,” Sven Svebak said.(Sven Svebak说：“我预计，那些父母在感受挑战时没有幽默感的孩子长大后不太可能培养幽默感来应对日常生活。”)”可知，没有幽默感的孩子不太可能培养幽默感应对日常生活，所以幽默的人能更好地应对生活中的压力。故选C。

You can achieve it with some work and patience, just like you would train your body in a gym.(大多数成功人士都有一个共同的特点：他们意志坚强。意志坚强的人在精神上很坚强，但他们也不会因为太固执而无法成长和适应新环境。你可以通过一些努力和耐心来实现它，就像你在健身房锻炼身体一样)”可知，上文提到了意志坚强的特点，结合后文主要论述了建立坚强品质的建议。故C选项“如果你想要一个更强大的头脑，试试下面的建议”符合语境，故选C。
【37题详解】

If you want to regain focus in the moment, you can try writing down what keeps popping up in your head. When you get these thoughts out of your head, you’ll be able to focus better.(让你的大脑安静下来。练习放下不必要的担忧和干扰，这样你就可以把注意力集中在更重要的事情上。如果你想重新集中注意力，你可以试着写下你脑海中不断出现的东西。当你把这些想法从脑子里赶出去时，你就能更好地集中注意力)”可知，上文提到了写下你脑海中不断出现的东西，以及为了集中注意力把这些想法从脑子里赶出去，本句为本段最后一句，故说明应该如何处理这些想法，E选项中thoughts or ideas对应上文thoughts。故E选项“稍后花些时间来关注这些想法或创意”符合语境，故选E。

【39题详解】

If you often find yourself just trying to get through the day, ask yourself what you would do with your time if you didn’t have to worry about basic concerns like money.(想想你在日常生活中取得成就的动力。如果你经常发现自己只是在努力度过一天，问问自己，如果你不必担心像钱这样的基本问题，你会如何利用你的时间)”可知，后文提到了想想你在日常生活中取得成就的动力，即寻找自己的动力所在，A选项中motivates对应后文drives。故A选项“找出你的动力”符合语境，故选A。
【40题详解】
根据上文“Create actionable short-term goals. Now that you have a general understanding of where you want to go, break those long-term goals down.(制定可行的短期目标。既然你对自己的目标有了大致的了解，那么就把这些长期目标分解一下)”可知，上文提到了分解长期目标，故本句承接上文说明这么做的意义：让你避免不知所措，帮助你保持正轨。故G选项“这可以让你避免不知所措，帮助你保持正轨”符合语境，故选G。

【61题详解】
考查名词。句意：澳大利亚的研究人员Oscar Schwartz创建了一个名为“机器人与否”网站。此处应用名词作Oscar Schwartz的同位语，故应用名词“researcher研究人员”，其空前有冠词an，故此处应用单数形式，故填researcher。
【62题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：Schwartz发表了一个演讲，他在演讲中说道，网站上的一些诗歌很容易骗过65%的读者。此处引导定语从句，先行词为speech，指物，在非限定性定语从句中作介词in的宾语，故应用which引导，故填which。

A MOTHER’S DAY SURPRISE
The twins were filled with excitement as they thought of the surprise they were planning for Mother’s Day. How pleased and proud Mother would be when they brought her breakfast in bed. They planned to make French toast and chicken porridge. They had watched their mother in the kitchen. There was nothing to it. Jenna and Jeff knew exactly what to do.
The big day came at last. The alarm rang at 6 a.m. The pair went down the stairs quietly to the kitchen. They decided to boil the porridge first. They put some rice into a pot of water and left it to boil while they made the French toast. Jeff broke two eggs into a plate and added in some milk. Jenna found the bread and put two slices into the egg mixture. Next, Jeff turned on the second stove burner to heat up the frying pan. Everything was going smoothly until Jeff started frying the bread. The pan was too hot and the bread turned black within seconds. Jenna threw the burnt piece into the sink and put in the other slice of bread. This time, she turned down the fire so it cooked nicely.
Then Jeff noticed steam shooting out of the pot and the lid starting to shake. The next minute, the porridge boiled over and put out the fire. Jenna panicked. Thankfully, Jeff stayed calm and turned off the gas quickly. But the stove was a mess now. Jenna told Jeff to clean it up so they could continue to cook the rest of the porridge. But Jeff’s hand touched the hot burner and he gave a cry of pain. Jenna made him put his hand in cold water. Then she caught the smell of burning. Oh dear! The piece of bread in the pan had turned black as well.
