Joshua williams was five years old when something came into his heart that would change his life and the lives of thousands of others. His journey began with a $20 birthday gift from his grandmother. She said he could use it any way he wanted.
On his way to the mall that morning, the five-year-old began thinking about all the things he could buy with the money. Then, looking out of the car window, Joshua noticed a homeless man standing on the street corner. That moment changed his life forever. Joshua instantly gave the man his $20 bill in the hope that it would make a small difference.
With this gesture, Joshua discovered his life’s calling to help the needy. At just five years old, Joshua knew he would need help in order to make his dream — to wipe out hunger — a reality. He enlisted his family, and soon they were delivering meals to the homeless every Saturday. Joshua began to realize, however, that he needed a “bigger, better and easier way to distribute food.” He and his family came up with the idea to have the homeless community come to a centralized distribution point. On their first distribution day, Joshua and his team of helpers provided more than 300 families with food. They continued distributing groceries this way every month for two years.
With the success of his work, Joshua eventually created the Joshua’s Heart Foundation to continue his mission of feeding the homeless. Now, several years later, his foundation continues to provide food and cooking classes for needy families.
Joshua and his team have helped feed over 20,000 people over the past eight years and they’re still working to increase that number. Each bag of groceries represents a brighter day in the lives of these individuals and families, and it all began with one young person who saw a need and decided to make a difference.
36. Joshua’s grandma gave him a $20 bill to let him ______.
A. buy food for the homeless B. help some people in need
C. celebrate his fifth birthday D. buy a birthday cake for her
37. According to the first two paragraphs, Joshua is a boy who ______.
A. used to help others B. was sympathetic
C. had little pocket money D. was indifferent
38. What is the meaning of the underlined sentence “He enlisted his family”
A. He persuaded his family to help him.
B. He asked his family for advice.
C. He was encouraged by his family.
D. He disagreed with his family.
39. The Joshua’s Heart Foundation ______.
A. was created by Joshua and his teacher
B. organizes the homeless community
C. mainly offers education to the homeless
D. mainly offers food to needy people
40. From the passage we can learn that ______.
A. Joshua grew up in a rich family
B. Joshua started the foundation at the age of five
C. Joshua would help more people in the future
D. more than 20,000 homeless people have taken cooking classes
C
If you seek happiness, then you need to know what happiness is for you. I don’t believe there is one universal definition of happiness. Happiness is a very subjective emotion, according to me. Put two people in identical situation: same amount of money, life experiences, etc. and you can be pretty sure that they both wouldn’t feel equally happy or equally sad. I believe this is so because there are two kinds of happiness. There is one kind of happiness, which is kind of universal and then there is the other kind, which is very individual to each one of us. It is this kind of happiness that I find more interesting.
The second kind of happiness that I talk about comes from our expectations out of our lives, which vary from person to person. For example, a person who expects a lot out of his or her life may find that happiness is hard to find. They are constantly in search of these things in life, which always seem to elude (逃避) them. Those things may be money or fame or power or any of the other pursuits (追求) that humans have, but it would be likely that such people are less likely to be happy, if their goals are not met. In most cases, even after their goals are met, they don’t find happiness, because they seek more—new goals, new wish lists, and it’s a seemingly never-ending process for them!
On the other hand, a person who takes life as it comes along and makes the best of each day is more likely to be happy every day. They have no pressure or goals to occupy their minds and they can achieve happiness from the simple pleasures of everyday life, finding love, making time for the family and kids, seeing their kids grow, etc. Of course, that doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t have any expectations at all. You should keep those expectations reasonable and manageable.
41. Which of the following is the author’s opinion according to Paragraph 1
A. Happiness has one universal definition.
B. Every individual has his own happiness.
C. There are no people who are really happy.
D. Happiness means having money and power.
42. What does the underlined part “these things” in Paragraph 2 probably refer to
A. Daily demands. B. Life experiences.
C. Ideas about happiness. D. Expectations out of life.
43. Even if their goals are met, some people still don’t feel happy because _________.
A. they gave too much for their goals
B. they don’t know what happiness is
C. they have new goals that need achieving
D. they think sadness is a never-ending process
44. What kind of person is likely to be happy in the author’s opinion
A. He who has few expectations. B. He who has no pressure or goals.
C. He who has a great ambition or dream. D. He who can find fun from his daily life.
45. The author writes this passage mainly to tell readers _________.
A. the definition of happiness
B. the importance of happiness
C. to enjoy every day to the fullest
D. to give up their dreams and be practical

阅读下面短文,并根据短文内容完成下列各题。
Born in 1949, Diana Nyad took an early interest in swimming as a sport and was a Florida State High School swimming champion. Like many young athletes, she had Olympic dreams, but a serious illness kept her from competing in the Games. The disappointment didn’t stop her from going forward. Instead, she became interested in marathon swimming. A brilliant athlete, she was well-conditioned for spending long periods of time in the water. As a long-distance swimmer, she would compete against herself and the obstacles presented by distance, danger, cold, and exhaustion.
For ten years Nyad devoted herself to becoming one of the world’s best long-distance swimmers. In 1970, she swam a ten-mile marathon in Lake Ontario, setting the women’s record for the course. In 1972 she set another record by swimming 102.5 miles from an island in the Bahamas to the coast of Florida. Then she broke a third record when swimming around Manhattan Island in 1975.
Nyad attempted to swim the distance between Florida and Cuba in 1978. Though the span of water is less than 100 miles wide, it is rough and dangerous. After battling the water for two days, she had to give up for the sake of her own health and safety. Even so, she impressed the world with her courage and strong desire to succeed. For Nyad her strength of purpose was just as important as reaching Cuba. She believed she had touched the other shore.
When Nyad ended her career as a swimmer, she continued to try new things--travelling the world as a reporter, writing books and giving public speeches about her life. Diana Nyad works to inspire others, just as she did when she swam the waters of the world.
46. What prevented Nyad from taking part in the Olympic Games (Not more than 5 words)

Joshua williams was five years old when something came into his heart that would change his life and the lives of thousands of others. His journey began with a $20 birthday gift from his grandmother. She said he could use it any way he wanted.
On his way to the mall that morning, the five-year-old began thinking about all the things he could buy with the money. Then, looking out of the car window, Joshua noticed a homeless man standing on the street corner. That moment changed his life forever. Joshua instantly gave the man his $20 bill in the hope that it would make a small difference.
With this gesture, Joshua discovered his life’s calling to help the needy. At just five years old, Joshua knew he would need help in order to make his dream — to wipe out hunger — a reality. He enlisted his family, and soon they were delivering meals to the homeless every Saturday. Joshua began to realize, however, that he needed a “bigger, better and easier way to distribute food.” He and his family came up with the idea to have the homeless community come to a centralized distribution point. On their first distribution day, Joshua and his team of helpers provided more than 300 families with food. They continued distributing groceries this way every month for two years.
With the success of his work, Joshua eventually created the Joshua’s Heart Foundation to continue his mission of feeding the homeless. Now, several years later, his foundation continues to provide food and cooking classes for needy families.
Joshua and his team have helped feed over 20,000 people over the past eight years and they’re still working to increase that number. Each bag of groceries represents a brighter day in the lives of these individuals and families, and it all began with one young person who saw a need and decided to make a difference.
36. Joshua’s grandma gave him a $20 bill to let him ______.
A. buy food for the homeless B. help some people in need
C. celebrate his fifth birthday D. buy a birthday cake for her
37. According to the first two paragraphs, Joshua is a boy who ______.
A. used to help others B. was sympathetic
C. had little pocket money D. was indifferent
38. What is the meaning of the underlined sentence “He enlisted his family”
A. He persuaded his family to help him.
B. He asked his family for advice.
C. He was encouraged by his family.
D. He disagreed with his family.
39. The Joshua’s Heart Foundation ______.
A. was created by Joshua and his teacher
B. organizes the homeless community
C. mainly offers education to the homeless
D. mainly offers food to needy people
40. From the passage we can learn that ______.
A. Joshua grew up in a rich family
B. Joshua started the foundation at the age of five
C. Joshua would help more people in the future
D. more than 20,000 homeless people have taken cooking classes
【答案】36. C 37. B 38. A 39. D 40. C

【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了Joshua Williams(约书亚·威廉姆斯)五岁的时候，用祖母给他的20美元生日礼物帮助了一个无家可归的人，从此改变了自己的生活，开始帮助成千上万的有需要的人的故事。
【36题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“His journey began with a $20 birthday gift from his grandmother.(他的旅程始于祖母给他的20美元生日礼物)”可知，约书亚的祖母给了他20美元是庆祝他的生日。故选C。
【37题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“On his way to the mall that morning, the five-year-old began thinking about all the things he could buy with the money. Then, looking out of the car window, Joshua noticed a homeless man standing on the street corner. That moment changed his life forever. Joshua instantly gave the man his $20 bill in the hope that it would make a small difference.(那天早上，在去购物中心的路上，五岁的孩子开始思考用这些钱能买到的所有东西。这时，约书亚从车窗向外望去，发现一个无家可归的人站在街角。那一刻永远地改变了他的一生。约书亚马上把自己的20美元给了那个人，希望这能起一点作用)”可推知，约书亚是非常有同情心的。故选B。
【38题详解】
词句猜测题。根据上文“At just five years old, Joshua knew he would need help in order to make his dream — to wipe out hunger — a reality.(年仅五岁的约书亚就知道，为了实现他的梦想——消除饥饿——他需要帮助)”可知，他需要帮助。由此推知，划线句“He enlisted his family”意思是“他说服家人帮助他”，于是有了下文的“很快他们就开始每周六给无家可归的人送饭”。故选A。

【40题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Joshua and his team have helped feed over 20,000 people over the past eight years and they’re still working to increase that number. (在过去的八年里，约书亚和他的团队已经为超过2万人提供了食物，他们仍在努力增加这个数字)”可推知，约书亚将来会帮助更多的人。故选C。
C
If you seek happiness, then you need to know what happiness is for you. I don’t believe there is one universal definition of happiness. Happiness is a very subjective emotion, according to me. Put two people in identical situation: same amount of money, life experiences, etc. and you can be pretty sure that they both wouldn’t feel equally happy or equally sad. I believe this is so because there are two kinds of happiness. There is one kind of happiness, which is kind of universal and then there is the other kind, which is very individual to each one of us. It is this kind of happiness that I find more interesting.
The second kind of happiness that I talk about comes from our expectations out of our lives, which vary from person to person. For example, a person who expects a lot out of his or her life may find that happiness is hard to find. They are constantly in search of these things in life, which always seem to elude (逃避) them. Those things may be money or fame or power or any of the other pursuits (追求) that humans have, but it would be likely that such people are less likely to be happy, if their goals are not met. In most cases, even after their goals are met, they don’t find happiness, because they seek more—new goals, new wish lists, and it’s a seemingly never-ending process for them!
On the other hand, a person who takes life as it comes along and makes the best of each day is more likely to be happy every day. They have no pressure or goals to occupy their minds and they can achieve happiness from the simple pleasures of everyday life, finding love, making time for the family and kids, seeing their kids grow, etc. Of course, that doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t have any expectations at all. You should keep those expectations reasonable and manageable.
41. Which of the following is the author’s opinion according to Paragraph 1
A. Happiness has one universal definition.
B. Every individual has his own happiness.
C. There are no people who are really happy.
D. Happiness means having money and power.
42. What does the underlined part “these things” in Paragraph 2 probably refer to
A. Daily demands. B. Life experiences.
C. Ideas about happiness. D. Expectations out of life.
43. Even if their goals are met, some people still don’t feel happy because _________.
A. they gave too much for their goals
B. they don’t know what happiness is
C. they have new goals that need achieving
D. they think sadness is a never-ending process
44. What kind of person is likely to be happy in the author’s opinion
A. He who has few expectations. B. He who has no pressure or goals.
C. He who has a great ambition or dream. D. He who can find fun from his daily life.
45. The author writes this passage mainly to tell readers _________.
A. the definition of happiness
B. the importance of happiness
C. to enjoy every day to the fullest
D. to give up their dreams and be practical
【答案】41. B 42. D 43. C 44. D 45. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇议论文。文章论述了有两种幸福，作者着重讲述了第二种幸福，认为一个对生活随遇而安并充分利用每一天的人更有可能每天幸福。
【41题详解】
推理判断题。由第一段中的“I don’t believe there is one universal definition of happiness. Happiness is a very subjective emotion, according to me. (我不相信幸福有一个普遍的定义。根据我的说法，幸福是一种非常主观的情感)”可推知，作者认为幸福很主观，所以每个人都有自己的幸福。故选B项。
【42题详解】
词句猜测题。由第二段中的“The second kind of happiness that I talk about comes from our expectations out of our lives, which vary from person to person. For example, a person who expects a lot out of his or her life may find that happiness is hard to find. They are constantly in search of these things in life, which always seem to elude (逃避) them. (我所说的第二种幸福来自我们对生活的期望，这种期望因人而异。例如，一个对自己的生活抱有很大期望的人可能会发现很难找到幸福。他们在生活中不断地寻找these things，而这些东西似乎总是逃避他们)”可知，人们对生活有太多期望是难以找到幸福的，可得出these things指代上文提到的“对生活的期望”。故选D项。
【43题详解】
细节理解题。由第二段中的“In most cases, even after their goals are met, they don’t find happiness, because they seek more—new goals, new wish lists, and it’s a seemingly never-ending process for them! (在大多数情况下，即使他们的目标实现了，他们也找不到幸福，因为他们寻求更多的新目标、新的愿望清单，这对他们来说似乎是一个永无止境的过程！)”可知，即使他们的目标实现了，有些人仍然不快乐，是因为他们有需要实现的新目标要完成。故选C项。
【44题详解】
细节理解题。由第三段中的“On the other hand, a person who takes life as it comes along and makes the best of each day is more likely to be happy every day. They have no pressure or goals to occupy their minds and they can achieve happiness from the simple pleasures of everyday life, finding love, making time for the family and kids, seeing their kids grow, etc. (另一方面，一个对生活随遇而安并充分利用每一天的人更有可能每天都快乐。他们没有压力或目标来占据他们的思想，他们可以从日常生活的简单乐趣中获得快乐，找到爱，为家人和孩子腾出时间，看着孩子成长等等)”可知，能从日常生活中找到乐趣的人可能会幸福。故选D项。
【45题详解】
推理判断题。由第一段中的“here is one kind of happiness, which is kind of universal and then there is the other kind, which is very individual to each one of us. It is this kind of happiness that I find more interesting. (有一种幸福是普遍的，还有另一种幸福，对我们每个人来说都很独特。正是这种幸福让我觉得更有趣)”和第三段中的“On the other hand, a person who takes life as it comes along and makes the best of each day is more likely to be happy every day. They have no pressure or goals to occupy their minds and they can achieve happiness from the simple pleasures of everyday life, finding love, making time for the family and kids, seeing their kids grow, etc. (另一方面，一个对生活随遇而安并充分利用每一天的人更有可能每天都快乐。他们没有压力或目标来占据他们的思想，他们可以从日常生活的简单乐趣中获得快乐，找到爱，为家人和孩子腾出时间，看着孩子成长等等)”可知，作者认为一个对生活随遇而安并充分利用每一天、能从日常生活中找到乐趣的人更有可能每天幸福。由此推知，作者告诉读者要随遇而安，尽情享受每一天，去感受幸福。故选C项。

阅读下面短文,并根据短文内容完成下列各题。
Born in 1949, Diana Nyad took an early interest in swimming as a sport and was a Florida State High School swimming champion. Like many young athletes, she had Olympic dreams, but a serious illness kept her from competing in the Games. The disappointment didn’t stop her from going forward. Instead, she became interested in marathon swimming. A brilliant athlete, she was well-conditioned for spending long periods of time in the water. As a long-distance swimmer, she would compete against herself and the obstacles presented by distance, danger, cold, and exhaustion.
For ten years Nyad devoted herself to becoming one of the world’s best long-distance swimmers. In 1970, she swam a ten-mile marathon in Lake Ontario, setting the women’s record for the course. In 1972 she set another record by swimming 102.5 miles from an island in the Bahamas to the coast of Florida. Then she broke a third record when swimming around Manhattan Island in 1975.
Nyad attempted to swim the distance between Florida and Cuba in 1978. Though the span of water is less than 100 miles wide, it is rough and dangerous. After battling the water for two days, she had to give up for the sake of her own health and safety. Even so, she impressed the world with her courage and strong desire to succeed. For Nyad her strength of purpose was just as important as reaching Cuba. She believed she had touched the other shore.
When Nyad ended her career as a swimmer, she continued to try new things--travelling the world as a reporter, writing books and giving public speeches about her life. Diana Nyad works to inspire others, just as she did when she swam the waters of the world.

【答案】Dear Tony,
I’m sorry to hear that you didn’t do well in your exam and that you are very worried about your study. I quite understand how you feel now.
There is no doubt that we should keep a good state of mind. As we know, failure is the mother of success. We should spare no efforts to analyze the cause of failure, which could help us find out the mistakes we made and try to make up for the lack of knowledge and skills in those areas. Only in this way can we make great progress in our study.
I hope that by the time this letter reaches you, you’ll be feeling much better. Let’s work hard together and turn our dream into reality.
Yours,
Li Jin
