Ⅰ.单项填空

1.—What a pity! You missed my birthday party.

—Terribly sorry! my uncle not visited me unexpectedly.

A.Should

B.Would

C.Had

D.Did

答案 C

解析考查虚拟语气。句意为：——真可惜！你错过了我的生日聚会。——非常抱歉！要是我叔叔没有突然来看我(我就不会错过你的生日聚会了)就好了。根据语境该句补充完整为：_________ my uncle not visited unexpectedly，I wouldn’t have missed your birthday party.该句表示对过去事情的虚拟，条件句部分应用had done形式。在虚拟条件句中，从句中有助动词had时，可将if省略，had提前，故C选项正确。

A.while

B.until

C.since

D.before

答案 D

解析考查连词辨析。句意为：大多数人在任何结果出现之前就放弃了；他们放弃得太早，放弃的人永远不会成功。while当……时候；until直到……；since自从……以来；before 在……之前。由下文的they give up too soon可知，大多数人是在结果出现之前就放弃了。故选D。

D.dimension

答案 D

A.where

B.how

答案 D

解析句意为：——他很高兴能和约翰逊交朋友。——哦，我明白了。那是因为他们有很多共同点。此处用because表示“原因”，引导表语从句，故选D。

答案 A

解析句意为：现在有迹象表明，随着许多中小城市房价的下跌，各大城市的房价也可能出现下滑。本题为同位语从句，先行词是signs(迹象)，从句中不缺少任何成分，所以用连接词that引导该同位语从句，故选A。

B./；a

C.the；a

解析考查冠词的用法。句意为：2017年1月，特朗普当选美国总统，任期4年。第一空，“某一区域最高职务”作补足语时前面不用冠词，此处president作主语补足语，不用冠词；第二空表示泛指，“为期4年的一个职位”，填不定冠词a。故选B。

15.The reform and opening-up policy，which has been very successful，remains ，and will play a greater role in the future development.

A.a sacred cow

B.a confidential source

C.a white elephant

D.a wet blanket

解析考查习语。a sacred cow神圣之物；a confidential source 机密来源；a white elephant累赘；a wet blanket扫兴之人。句意为：改革开放取得了巨大成功，它仍然是神圣的，在今后的发展中将发挥更大的作用。此处用a sacred cow表示“改革开放是一项神圣的政策”，故A项正确。

Ⅱ.完形填空

Can you imagine life without being able to taste or smell anything？For Olympic gold medalist(金牌获得者)，James Cracknell，it’s really 16 .Along with the ability to taste and smell，James was also 17 with a poor short-term memory after being knocked off his bike by a truck in a 2010 road 18 .

Food means a lot to James，because he has to 19 more energy than most people as an athlete. 20 ，the loss of the sense of taste seems particularly 21 .“Before the accident，I extremely loved food and cooking.But the only 22 I can get from food now is through texture(质地)，” he says. 23 unable to taste anything，he admits to putting red chilli(辣椒) onto his food to get a bit of enjoyment from his meals.

Learning to 24 without taste in life has been difficult.But he has been 25 to overcome his injuries.Now he could talk about the loss of his two 26 freely，“Dining out in restaurants is 27 a pleasure for me.Eating is something I have to do to 28 .For me，food is fuel—a means to an end—just like you might put petrol in the 29 to make it go.”

But despite not being able to enjoy a restaurant dinner any more，James says that some 30 effects have come out of losing his sense of taste.“Now I’m not 31 by the taste of food；I just eat what’s 32 for me.I see people all around me piling on 33 by eating far too much.We can survive on much less.We 34 a lot，and don’t do enough exercise to 35 these extra calories.We should move more and eat better.” James did make it and managed to live a better life.

A

Heart of stone，Snowdonia

Route

Snowdonia boasts the UK’s most dramatic mountain landscape south of Scotland，and though not all that high at just over 1,000 metres，the peaks seem bigger because they rise directly from the sea.This ride does the same.It starts in the small coastal city of Bangor and ends at the youth hostel at Llyn Ogwen，one of the spiritual homes of British mountaineering，a lake set in the mountains range of Carneddau and Glyderau.All those mountains might suggest a hilly ride in store，but it’s a very gradual climb along the route of the old railway lines and trolleybuses that served the Penrhyn quarry(彭林采石场) at Bethesda.When Welsh slate(石板) “roofed the world”，this was once the world’s largest man-made hole.The quarry also reminds visitors of the Welsh labour movement at the turn of the 20th century.Beyond the quarries lies the broad，steep sided valley of Nant Ffrancon，where the artist John Piper made his home，so he could paint and draw the landscape.The return to Bangor largely follows the ride up，but there’s no harm in that as

it’s a truly spectacular route.

Where to stay

YHA Idwal Cottage(08453 719744) is the oldest youth hostel in Wales: beds from ￡22，private rooms from ￡24 pp，camping from ￡13.

Where to snack

Fitzpatrick’s (9 Ogwen Street，Bethesda) is a friendly，and bright green，cafe just off the route.Open Thursday～Friday 8 a.m.～3 p.m.，Saturday～Sunday 8 a.m.～5 p.m.

Ogwen Snack Bar(Nant Ffrancon,01248 600683) is a mountaineers’tea bar right by the mountain rescue base.Open daily 9 a.m.～approximately 5 p.m.; closed Monday ～Thursday，late December～end of Jan.

36.Snowdonia is famous for its .

A.beautiful mountain landscape

B.tall and dangerous peaks

C.long history

D.mysterious lake

答案 A

解析细节理解题。根据第一段首句中的“most dramatic mountain landscape”可知，这座山之所以著名，是因为它美丽的景色。故选A。

37.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

A.There are many modern buildings along the route to Snowdonia.

B.You can always have coffee and tea as you like while traveling to Snowdonia.

C.You can’t enjoy the oldest hostels while traveling to Snowdonia.

D.Some peaks in the mountain landscape are over 1,000 metres.

答案 D

解析细节理解题。根据第一段首句中的“and though not all that high at just over 1,000 metres”可知，并不是所有的山峰都超过1 千米，故选D。

B

Some people always seem to have sunny outlooks，while others never stop

complaining.Naturally，scientists have asked why.

In a study，University of Minnesota researchers David Lykken and Auke Tellegen analyzed well-being questionnaires answered by 254 twins over a 10-year period.They found that identical twins’(同卵双胞胎) happiness was more closely paired over time than that of fraternal twins(异卵双胞胎).In a smaller sample of twins separated in infancy and raised apart—removing the influence of a shared environment—the effect was slightly more pronounced.The authors went on to calculate that about 50 per cent of happiness was genetic.The scientific community is still arguing about the exact number，but the basic finding is widely accepted.

If a large part of happiness is genetic，does that mean the rest can be acquired by upgrading your job，your house or where you live?

Decades of research support the theory of hedonic adaptation(享乐适应)，sometimes called the “happiness treadmill”：after negative and positive life changes，individuals tend to return to a baseline level of well-being.One study examined 3,658 Germans who moved into new houses because they were frustrated with their old ones.Housing satisfaction generally rose in the first year and then began falling，though remained higher than before the move.But life satisfaction remained unchanged.Other studies have found that spikes(尖峰) in well-being after marriage or a job promotion tend to fade within months.On the flip side，even after calamitous changes like widowhood，disability，and job loss，happiness usually trend upward again (although slowly and with more variability).

In other words，chasing material life changes doesn’t offer much joy.Does that mean happiness is out of our control？Not at all，says Sonja Lyubomirsky，a psychology professor at the University of California，Riverside and the author of The Myths of Happiness.After conducting a review of 51“happiness interventions”—including writing letters of gratitude，counting one’s blessings and practising random acts of kindness—Lyubomirsky and her co-author，Nancy L.Sin，found that these simple activities had a significant effect on well-being.In addition，enjoying positive experiences tended to increase appreciation of them.

“Happiness is not something where you either have it or you don’t.You definitely can do something about it，” says Lyubomirsky.

语篇解读幸福究竟和哪些因素有关？人们能掌握自己的幸福吗？研究人员给出了答案。

38.The theory of hedonic adaptation refers to “”.

A.a person’s happiness grows over time

B.a person tends to be happier when positive changes occur

C.a person tends to be less happy when negative changes occur

D.a person’s long-term happiness is not significantly affected by any event

答案 D

解析推理判断题。根据第四段第一句“Decades of research support the theory of hedonic adaptation...return to a baseline level of well-being.”可知，享乐适应指的是无论发生的是好事还是坏事，人们都会自我调适，恢复到事情发生前的幸福程度，也就是说从长远来看，人们的幸福感不会因某件事而受影响。故选D项。

39.The underlined word “calamitous” in Paragraph 4 can best be replaced by “”.

A.significant

B.gradual

C.disastrous

D.constant

答案 C

解析词义猜测题。根据画线单词后面的“like widowhood，disability，and job loss”可知，“calamitous changes”指的是给人们生活带来严重打击的变化，由此可知calamitous意为“灾难的，悲剧的”，故选C项。

40.Which of the following may Sonja Lyubomirsky agree with?

A.Man is the master of his own happiness.

B.He who makes others happy is truly happy.

C.Joy and sorrow are next-door neighbors.

D.Joys shared with others are more enjoyed.

答案 A

解析推理判断题。根据倒数第二段第二句“Does that mean happiness is out of our control？”以及下文Sonja Lyubomirsky的研究，再结合最后一段中Lyubomirsky所说的“Happiness is not something...You definitely can do something about it”可知，幸福并不是完全不受我们控制的，生活中有许多事(比如写感谢信，想想自己的幸事或者偶然做了些好事)都能提升幸福指数。因此，A项“人是自身幸福的主人”最符合Lyubomirsky的观点。
