摧毁幸福的一个有效方法是看一些东西，并专注于即使是最小的错误。这就像看着铺瓦（铺瓦的）天花板，专注于一块瓷砖为1的空间。
Once I heard a bald man said, “Whenever I enter a room, all I see is hair.” Once you’ve 2 what your missing tile is, explore whether acquiring it will 3 make you happy. Then do one of the three things: get it, replace it with a different 4 , or forget about it and 5 the tiles in your life that are not missing.
We all know people who have had a relatively 6 life, yet are essentially unhappy, while people who have suffered a great deal generally remain happy.
The first 7 is gratitude. All happy people are grateful. Ungrateful people cannot be happy. We tend to think that being unhappy leads people to 8 , but it’s truer to say that complaining leads to people becoming unhappy.
The second secret is awareness. We should 9 that happiness is a byproduct (副产品) of something else. The most obvious 10 are those pursuits ( 追求) that give our lives purpose---anything from studying insects to playing baseball. The more passions we have, the more happiness we are 11 to experience.
Finally, the belief that something permanent goes beyond us and that our 12 has some larger meaning can help us to feel happier. We need a spiritual faith, or a philosophy of life. Whatever your philosophy is, it should 13 this truth: if you choose to find the 14 in every situation, you will be blessed, and if you choose to find the awful, you will be cursed.

After graduation from college, I started to sell. Soon I discovered that the worried expression I 16 (wear)since childhood meant sure failure. I knew it wasn't going to be easy to change that expression on my face left by so many years of 17 （hard）.It called for a complete change in my view on life. Here is the method I tried.
Each morning during a fifteen-minute bath, I determined to cultivate a big, happy smile. I found out, however, that it couldn't be a 18 (force) smile developed just for the purpose of putting dollars in my pocket. It had to be 19 honest-to-goodness smile from down deep inside， an outward expression of happiness from within!
让我们看看20开始时，微笑肌肉的十五分钟训练对我白天有所帮助。21进入办公室我会想到许多我必须要感恩的事情，然后大笑着然后进入。很少失败22（得到）同样的笑容23从我遇到的人那里回来。我还发现当我在街上经过他们给他们一个愉快的微笑时，人们很高兴。
给每一个活着的灵魂，让你遇到你生命中曾经笑过的最好的笑容，24看看你的感受和外表有多好。这是我知道的最好的方法之一，不要担心，并开始生活。当我开始这样做时，我发现到处都有25个人欢迎。
[页]II阅读（共两节，满分50分）
第一节阅读理解（共20小题;每小题2分，满分40分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A，B，C和D项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
一个
亲爱的米歇尔，
Why can't my daughter manage her life better? She is 17 and an honor student, but she seems to be wasting her life away with a boyfriend who is holding her back.
He consumes every waking minute of her precious time and smooth-talks her as well.
His goal is to get her to agree to go to the college of his choice, not her choice, and because his grades are lower, his choice will be limited.
I feel like I want to rescue her, but she pushes me away and shuts me out. She has only brought us pride and joy; and now this! Help!
A worried mother
Dear Mother of a 17-year-old Girl,
Hmmmmm. What's the matter with kids today? Remember that song from "Bye Bye Birdie"?
Well if you do not, let me fill you in about teenagers and their life-management skills. Do not expect too much too soon because at the ripe age of 17, life-management is not within their reach, nor should it be.
Life experience creates both the conditions and the skills for management, and if management went before experience, there would be little of it.
Your daughter is an honor student for good reasons. She is smart, studies with intelligence and you have given her good values.
When the time comes for her to apply for college, and she visits the ones that are specifically designed for students at the top of their grade, she will most likely break away from her boyfriend's influence.
It is rare for an honor student to change the path of their academic career for puppy love. That being said, there might be some adolescent wisdom in her behavior after all.
Perhaps she is choosing to worry you, her parents, for unconscious reasons. Being such a good girl and being a steady source of joy might have become a bit too much for her.
Let your daughter have her own private moment of 11th grade rebellion. She deserves a break from perfection.
Michelle

It's really true what people say about English politeness: it's everywhere. When squeezing past someone in a narrow passage, people say "sorry". When getting off a bus, English passengers say "thank you" rather than the driver. In Germany, people would never dream of doing these things. After all, squeezing past others is sometimes unavoidable, and the bus driver is only doing his job. I used to think the same way, without questioning it, until I started traveling to the British Isles, and here are some more polite ways of interacting (交往) with people in UK.
People thank each other everywhere in England, all the time. When people buy something in a shop, customers and retail assistants in most cases thank each other twice or more. In Germany, it would be exceptional to hear more than one thank you in such a conversation. British students thank their lecturers when leaving the room. English employers thank their employees for doing their jobs, as opposite to Germans, who would normally think that paying their workers money is already enough.
Another thing I observed during my stay was that English people rarely criticize others. Even when I was working and mistakes were pointed out to me, my employers emphasized several times but none of their explanations were intended as criticism. It has been my impression that by avoiding criticism, English people are making an effort to make others feel comfortable. This also is showed in other ways. British men still open doors for women, and British men are more likely to treat women to a meal than German men. However, I do need to point out here that this applies to English men a bit more than it would to Scottish men! Yes, the latter are a bit tightfisted.
31. What is the author's attitude towards English politeness?
A. He thinks it is artificial. B. He thinks little of it.
C. He appreciates it very much. D. He thinks it goes too far.
32. What can be inferred from the passage?
A. The author think it's unnecessary to say "thank you" to the bus driver.
B. In Germany, employers often say "thank you" to employees for their job.
C. German men never treat a woman to dinner.
D. Germans think it is unnecessary to thank workers because payment is enough.
33. We can learn from the last paragraph that Scottish men _______.
A. are more likely to be involved in a fighting B. are as generous as English men
C. treat women in a polite way D. are unwilling to spend money for women
34. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?
A. English drivers often say "thank you" to passengers when they get off the bus.
B. In Germany, passengers sometimes say "thank you" to bus drivers.
C. English people try to avoid criticizing others in the daily life.
D. Germans are more considerate and polite than Englishmen.
35. The author develops the text through the method of
A. making comparisons B. telling stories
C. giving comments D. giving reasons/examples
C
Back in the fifteenth century, in a tiny village near Nuremberg, lived a family with eighteen children．In spite of the hopeless condition, two of the children, Albrecht Durer and Albert, had a dream．They both wanted to pursue their talent for art．After many long discussions, the two boys finally worked out an agreement．They would toss a coin．The loser would go down into the nearby mines and, with his earnings, support his brother who attended the academy．Then, when that brother who won the toss completed his studies, in four years, he would support the other brother at the academy．
Tossing a coin, Albrecht Durer won and went off to Nuremberg．Albert went down into the dangerous mines and, for the next four years, supported his brother, whose work at the academy was almost an immediate sensation（轰动）．By the time he graduated, he had earned considerable fees for his outstanding works．
When the young artist returned to his village, the Durer family held a festive dinner to celebrate Albrecht’s triumphant（胜利的）homecoming．Albrecht drank a toast to his beloved brother for the years of sacrifice that had enabled him to complete his dream．“And now, Albert, blessed brother of mine, now it is your turn．Now you can go to Nuremberg to look for your dream, and I will take care of you．”
Tears streaming down his pale face, Albert sobbed, “No．．．no．．．It is too late for me．Look．．．look at what four years in the mines have done to my hands！The bones in every finger have been broken at least once, and lately I have been suffering from arthritis（关节炎）so badly in my right hand that I cannot even hold a glass to return your toast, much less draw delicate lines with a pen or a brush．”
To show thanks to Albert for all that he had sacrificed, Albrecht Durer painstakingly drew his brother’s injured hands with palms together and thin fingers stretched skyward．He called his powerful drawing simply “Hands”, but the entire world almost immediately opened their hearts to his great masterpiece and renamed it “The Praying Hands”．The next time you see a copy of that touching creation, let it be your reminder—no one ever makes any success alone！
36．Why did the two brothers work out the agreement？
A．They were so curious as to make a joke．
B．Their family couldn’t afford the academy．
C．One of the brothers was supposed to go into mines．
D．They wanted to support the other sisters and brothers．
37．The underlined word “whose” in Para．2 refers to _____ ．
A．the Durer family’s B．the miners W wW.x kB 1.c Om
C．Albert’s D．Albrecht’s
38．Which of the following statements is NOT true about Albrecht Durer？
A．He began to earn his living after graduation． B．He did perfectly well at the academy．
C．He wanted his brother to go to the academy． D．He created great masterpieces．
39．Which of the following is the correct order of the story？
a．Albrecht went to Nuremberg． b．Albert supported his brother．
c．The Durer family held a festive dinner． d．Albrecht drew his brother’s injured hands．
e．The brothers tossed a coin．
A．b, a, c, d, e B．a, e, c, d, b C．e, a, c, b, d D．e, a, b, c, d
40．What can we learn from the story？
A．One can achieve success simply on his own．
B．Any success requires the help of others．
C．It’s other people who contribute to one’s success．
D．Nobody could succeed without good guidance．
D
Conservationists have unveiled plans to preserve and protect the world's most important species of coral, in a response to increasing threats that they say will lead to "functional extinction" within decades．
Led by scientists at the Zoological Society of London, the Edge Coral Reefs project has identified 10 coral species in most urgent risk of becoming extinct．The scientists say that reefs are under pressure from a variety of threats including rising sea temperatures due to climatic instability, increased acidity（酸性）, overfishing and pollution．
The Edge plan, which focuses on the most evolutionarily distinct and globally endangered species , will take a regional approach to conservation．This means focusing on the "coral triangle" around the Philippines, the West Indian Ocean around the Mozambique channel, and in the Caribbean channel．
"Coral reefs are threatened with functional extinction in the next 20-50 years, due predominantly to global climatic instability," said Catherine Head, coordinator of the reefs project．"In these regions, we'll be supporting and training in-country conservationists to carry out research and implement targeted conservation actions," she said．"Their projects will last initially for two years．We provide them with a whole host of tools to carry out their projects including funding and intensive training．" She added．
Coral reefs are the planet's most diverse marine ecosystem（生态系统）, known as the rainforests of the oceans．Despite taking up under 0．2% of the ocean floor, they provide food and shelter for almost a third of all sea life．If we lose the ecosystems, we lose not only the biodiversity （生物多样性）, but we also lose the capability of people to obtain income and food from coral reefs．
Climatic instability, which leads to rising sea temperatures, causes corals to bleach．Bleaching occurs when sea temperatures rise and this causes the coral tissue to expel their symbiotic algae called zooxanthellae - these are what give the coral their colour．Bleached corals often die if the stress continues．Among the 10 species chosen to start the Edge project are the pearl bubble coral, a food source for the hawksbill（玳瑁）turtle, and the Mushroom coral, which supports at least 15 brightly colored fish．
41．What does the first paragraph mean in the passage ?
A．Conservationists planned to preserve and protect some extinct corals years ago．
B．Conservationists have banned plans to protect endangered corals for years．
C．Conservationists are going to protect corals that are dying out in several ten years．
D．Conservationists have made plans to protect corals from being extinct in ten years．
42．What will probably happen to coral species with the increasing threats?
A．Decrease． B．Losing functions． C．Disappearance． D．Existence．
43．Which of the following statements about the Edge Plan is TRUE?
A．The Edge Coral Reefs project was carried out by American scientists．
B．The plan concentrates on the channels to protect the endangered species．
C．The Conservationists have carried out the Edge plan for many years to protect
the corals．
D．Ten coral species chosen by the project are at the greatest risk of becoming extinct．
44．Which of the following will be the consequence of coral extinction in the passage?
A．We will keep the balance of the marine ecosystems．
B．About one third of the marine species can't survive．
C．Man can benefit more from corals．
D．We will lose the rainforests on our earth．
45．What is the best title of the passage?
A．Climatic Instability and Coral Extinction． B．Reasons for Coral Functional Extinction．
C．A Plan to Save Coral from Extinction． D．A Research about Endangered Coral Reefs．

社交实践
Social practice has been more and more popular in schools. Senior school students are asked to enter society and get some ideas of it. Surely, social practice has many advantages. Firstly, social practice can offer students a chance to contact society and meet different kinds of people. In this way students can gain some precious social experience, which will be useful to their future career. Secondly, students can apply what they have learned in class to practical work, thus knowing themselves more clearly. Thirdly, social practice can bring them some financial reward and make them more independent of their family.
但是，如果没有正确的指导，可能会出现一些问题。例如，一些学生对社会实践过于兴趣，想要全职工作并赚更多钱，从而忽略了他们的学业。有些学生可能会与社会的黑暗面接触，这将影响他们未来的价值观。
为了顺利开展社会实践，学生应首先了解其目标。他们应该把他们的学业放在第一位，把社会实践看作是一种有用的补充，所以他们应该努力在社会实践和学习之间取得平衡。
【写作内容】
1.请以约30个词概括上文的内容;
2.请以约120个词谈谈你对“社会实践”的看法，包括如下要点：
（1）你对于社会实践的认识;
（2）你或你朋友所经历过的一次社会实践;
（3）你认为如何协调好学习与社会实践的关系。
【写作要求】
1.可以用事例或者其他论述方法支持你的观点，也可以参照阅读材料的内容，但不能直接引用原文句子;
2.作文中不能出现真实的姓名和学校名称。
【评分标准】
概括准确，语言规范，内容合适，篇章连贯。

基础写作
Last month, our company carried out a survey about shopping on line among 1000 interviewees younger than 35 years old. 64% of those interviewed are willing to shop on line, mainly because they think the Internet makes it convenient for them to buy what they need although they are staying at home. Besides, they believe that goods on line are cheaper, with a variety of brands to choose from. The rest of the interviewees don’t want to shop on line, claiming that goods on sale on the Internet might be fake and that they are worried about being cheated out of money. In conclusion, only by guarding against the disadvantages of on-line shopping will more and more people choose to shop on line.
读写任务
The passage states the benefits and the worry of social practice for senior school students: it enriches students’ social experience and rewards them with money, but it may affect their studies and values. So, students should balance their studies and social practice.
Knowledge is a treasure, but practice is the key to it. Nowadays, more students have opportunities to join in various social activities, including military training, voluntary work in a community service, a part-time job in a super-market, etc. They learn how to serve, how to cooperate and how to solve problems. Gradually they will become strong-willed , kind-hearted and enthusiastic in study and life.
两年前，我组织了一个同学团队到慈善之家，那里有孤儿和残疾人。我们在那里向盲人讲故事; 我们为聋人画了漂亮的照片; 我们帮助轮椅上的朋友四处走动。正是这次访问让我意识到，帮助别人不应该只是空谈，生命值得珍惜。
当然，我们必须在学习和社会实践之间取得平衡，绝不允许社交活动优先于学业。毕竟，高中阶段是学生获取知识并为未来做好准备的重要时期。因此，我强烈建议我们充分利用业余时间和假期来参与其中。只有这样，我们才能拒绝在校园内关闭自己。
