Last weekend, my husband and I drove a dog to her new home. Typically, when we have a new dog in the backseat, it’s a young dog. But this passenger was a much different story. Magdalen is a 13-year-old dog. Her owner gave her up temporarily when he was sick, but when he fully recovered several months later, he said he didn’t want her back. He had had the dog since she was young but now had no place for her.
The family who had given her a temporary home had children and other dogs and was unable to give her a forever home. When Speak St. Louis, the rescue team I worked with, was contacted about the dog, they offered to take her in. She went to a vet (兽医) for a basic health check. But the vet didn’t have great news. Her mouth was swollen with all sorts of problems. Two teeth fell out during cleaning and eleven more had to be pulled out.
Luckily, a good friend of mine, a dog trainer with a soft heart for seniors, had agreed to adopt Magdalen. On the trip to the trainer’s home, the sweet senior looked so relaxed in our backseat. I felt a great sense of relief and pleasure.
It’s understandable that her owner needed some temporary help when he was sick. But I can’t imagine why he wouldn’t have wanted her back now. I think of my own dog and dogs we lost to old age in the past. We’re family and we stay that way forever. She’d be able to live a good life, I hoped, in her new home!
4. What is paragraph 2 mainly about
A. The former owner of the dog. B. Where the dog was treated.
C. Why the dog’s mouth was swollen. D. The problems the dog met with.
5. What is the author’s job
A. Training old dogs. B. Looking for homes for dogs.
C. Treating sick dogs. D. Searching for lost dogs’ owners.
6. How did the author feel on her way to her friend’s home
A. Hopeful and proud. B. Relieved and happy.
C. Nervous and grateful. D. Surprised and curious.
7. What does the author think of Magdalen’s owner giving her up
A. She was certain he would regret. B. She believed it was painful for him.
C. She didn’t understand his behaviour. D. She thought he made a wise decision.
【答案】4. D 5. B 6. B 7. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要介绍了作者安置一只老龄狗的故事。
【4题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第二段“The family who had given her a temporary home had children and other dogs and was unable to give her a forever home. When Speak St. Louis, the rescue team I worked with, was contacted about the dog, they offered to take her in. She went to a vet (兽医) for a basic health check. But the vet didn’t have great news. Her mouth was swollen with all sorts of problems. Two teeth fell out during cleaning and eleven more had to be pulled out.(给她临时住所的家庭有孩子和其他狗，无法给她一个永远的家。当与我一起工作的救援队Speak St. Louis联系到这只狗的情况时，他们表示愿意收留它。她去兽医那里做了基本的健康检查。但是兽医并没有什么好消息。她的嘴因各种问题而肿起来，清洁时掉了两颗牙，又拔了十一颗)”可知，临时收容Magdalen的家有孩子和其它的狗，不能给它一个永远的家，Magdalen的牙齿出现问题，由此可知，本段主要介绍了 Magdalen遇到的问题。故选D。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中的“Last weekend, my husband and I drove a dog to her new home. Typically, when we have a new dog in the backseat, it’s a young dog. (上周末，我和丈夫开车送一只狗去她的新家。通常情况下，当我们的后座上有一只新狗时，它是一只年轻的狗)”和下文作者找兽医为Magdalen治病，并最终为 Magdalen找到收养者可知，作者的工作是为狗找新家。故选B。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“Luckily, a good friend of mine, a dog trainer with a soft heart for seniors, had agreed to adopt Magdalen. On the trip to the trainer’s home, the sweet senior looked so relaxed in our backseat. I felt a great sense of relief and pleasure.(幸运的是，我的一个好朋友，一个对老狗狗心肠很软的驯狗师，同意收养Magdalen。在去驯狗师家的路上，这位可爱的老狗狗坐在我们的后座上，看起来很放松。我感到一种巨大的宽慰和愉悦)”可知，年迈的Magdalen虽然被原来的主人拋弃了，但作者的一个关心老狗狗的好朋友答应收养它，推测作者在开车送Magdalen去朋友家的路上是感到欣慰和开心的。故选B。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“It’s understandable that her owner needed some temporary help when he was sick. But I can’t imagine why he wouldn’t have wanted her back now. I think of my own dog and dogs we lost to old age in the past. We’re family and we stay that way forever. She’d be able to live a good life, I hoped, in her new home!(她的主人生病时需要一些临时的帮助是可以理解的。但我想不出他现在为什么不想让她回来。我想起了我自己的狗和我们过去失去的年老的狗。我们是一家人，永远是一家人。她会过上好日子的。我希望，在她的新家！)”可知，Magdalen原来的主人生病时，他需要一些临时帮助，但是当他康复后却不想要Magdalen回去了。作者想起了自己的狗和在过去因年老而失去的狗，认为和狗狗们永远都是一家人。由此推知，作者无法理解Magdalen的主人的行为。故选C。
C
It’s no secret that walking is good for you. Many of us are trying to get in those recommended 10,000 steps a day that our wearable fitness technology urges us to achieve. But how many calories are we actually burning, and how can we get the most out of those steps Find answers in these ways.
Do you know the truth about calorie-burning Walking is a moderate intensity form of exercise. To get the most calorie-burning benefits, then, it would seem that walking at a consistently light pace would make the most sense. Pay attention to your heart rate and how you feel. Wearable technologies can certainly provide an idea of progress toward your calorie-burning goals. Using a fitness tracker equipment to help you recognize when you reach your target heart rate zones can help you maximize the calorie-burning.
Walking is often considered as a great fat-burning exercise, and for good reason. You can’t really walk at higher intensities because of the nature of the exercise; therefore, you end up in low-intensity zones, where you tend to burn more fat. When you’re walking at a lighter intensity with your heart rate in the 57% to 63% range, you are more likely to be using fat for fuel. No matter what your speed is, form matters. When done with good form, walking is an incredibly beneficial form of exercise for total health and wellness beyond mere caloric burn. Moreover, walking is the most accessible form of exercise because it doesn’t require any special clothes, equipment or memberships.
Whether your goal is fat loss, increased fitness or simply enhancing your overall health and wellness, walking offers all these benefits and more.
8. What is the purpose of paragraph 1
A. To introduce the topic.
B. To compare walking with other exercise.
C. To explain the wearable fitness technology.
D. To show the importance of 10,000 steps a day.
9. What does the underlined word “intensity” in paragraph 2 mean
A. Depth. B. Strength. C. Height. D. Distance.
10. What can be inferred from the text
A. Walking at high intensities is recommended.
B. Your walking speed is the most important to calorie-burning.
C. Walking can burn calories better if you walk in a proper form.
D. It is more convenient to walk for those who have a gym membership.
11. What is the best title for the text
A. 10,000 Steps a Day Matters
B. Walking Benefits Your Muscles
C. How to Best Burn Calories while Walking
D How to Use Wearable Fitness Technologies while Walking
【答案】8. A 9. B 10. C 11. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了如何在走路时最好地燃烧卡路里。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第一段“It’s no secret that walking is good for you. Many of us are trying to get in those recommended 10,000 steps a day that our wearable fitness technology urges us to achieve. But how many calories are we actually burning, and how can we get the most out of those steps Find answers in these ways.(众所周知，散步对你有好处。我们中的许多人都在努力达到每天10000步的建议步数，这是可穿戴健身技术敦促我们实现的目标。但是我们实际上燃烧了多少卡路里，我们怎样才能最大限度地利用这些步子呢？用这些方法寻找答案)”可推知，第一段的写作目的是为了引入如何正确散步这个话题。故选A。
【9题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词下文“To get the most calorie-burning benefits, then, it would seem that walking at a consistently light pace would make the most sense. (因此，为了获得最大的卡路里燃烧效益，似乎以一贯的慢速行走是最有意义的)”可知，持续的慢速行走燃烧最多的卡路里。由此可知，散步是一种中等强度的运动，即划线词intensity与Strength“强度”意思接近。故选B。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第三段“You can’t really walk at higher intensities because of the nature of the exercise; therefore, you end up in low-intensity zones, where you tend to burn more fat. When you’re walking at a lighter intensity with your heart rate in the 57% to 63% range, you are more likely to be using fat for fuel. No matter what your speed is, form matters. (由于该运动的性质，你不能在高强度下散步；因此，你最终会进入低强度区域，在那里你会燃烧更多的脂肪。当你以较轻的强度行走，你的心率在57%到63%之间时，你更有可能使用脂肪作为燃料。无论你的速度如何，形式都很重要)”可推知，如果你走路的形式合适，走路可以更好地燃烧卡路里。故选C。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“But how many calories are we actually burning, and how can we get the most out of those steps Find answers in these ways.(但是我们实际上燃烧了多少卡路里，我们怎样才能最大限度地利用这些步子呢 用这些方法寻找答案)”结合下文讲到的方法可知，文章主要讲述了如何在走路时最好地燃烧卡路里。由此可知，How to Best Burn Calories while Walking适合作本文最佳标题。故选C。
D
“Second place is just the first loser” is a well-known saying from the legendary NASC ARchampion Dale Earnhardt. Or as my late father put it jokingly, “It’s not enough to win. Your friends have to lose, too.”
We may not want others to know our thoughts, but many of us think this way, because we are born to compete with each other. However, if left unmanaged, this can create conflicts between ourselves and others. Fortunately, there is a way to solve this problem: instead of always going for gold, aim for the bronze (铜牌).
To expand on the wisdom of Earnhardt, although second place may be the first loser, third place can be the real winner, at least when it comes to happiness and longevity. A 1995 study discovered that bronze winners appeared consistently happier on average than silver medalists, while another research in 2018 studied U.S. athletes in the Olympics from 1904 to1936 and found that those whose best performance was silver lived to 72 on average. Gold medalists beat this by living to 76. But the first prize went to the bronze winners, who lived to 78.
The social concepts of upward and down ward comparison help explain the difference. Silver medalists see themselves as the first loser because they compare themselves only with the champions. In contrast, the bronze winners compare downwards with those who have never made it onto the podium (领奖台) at all. Therefore, they feel better about themselves and thus, happier. The emotion shows up in improved health and lifespan. In fact, researchers have found that comparing ourselves with the unfortunate lot of others is a reliable technique for reducing a negative mood. The comparison is not from a feeling of ill will, but because rewards in life are relative.
The worldly happiness strategy of working for gold every day is foolish. Stop spending most of your time feeling like a silver medalist: always pursuing and relying your happiness on a single outcome. Rather, aim for healthy competitions in which you do your best without the expectation of being the absolute winner.
12. What does the joke from the author’s father imply
A. Everyone has his or her secret.
B. Winning and losing are quite common.
C. Defeat is embarrassing in a competition.
D. A true friend always stands by your side.
13. What does the underlined word “longevity” in paragraph 3 mean
A. Long lifetime. B. Enough pleasure.
C. Slow growth. D. Constant pursuit.
14. What can we learn about downward comparison from paragraph 4
A. It brings some shyness. B. It prevents conflicts.
C. It improves well-being. D. It reflects negative intentions.
15. What is the best title for the text
A. The Key to Being a Winner B. The Path to Worldly Happiness
C. The Wisdom of Dale Earnhardt D. The Victory of Coming in Third
【答案】12. B 13. A 14. C 15. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要通过分析获的奖牌对人生的影响论述了谁才是最大的赢家。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段““Second place is just the first loser” is a well-known saying from the legendary NASC ARchampion Dale Earnhardt. Or as my late father put it jokingly, “It’s not enough to win. Your friends have to lose, too.”(“第二名只是第一个失败者”，这是传奇的全美汽车联盟冠军戴尔·恩哈特的名言。或者就像我已故的父亲开玩笑说的那样：“光赢是不够的。你的朋友也会输。”)”可推知，作者父亲的笑话暗示了赢和输是很常见的。故选B。
【13题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线上文“To expand on the wisdom of Earnhardt, although second place may be the first loser, third place can be the real winner, at least when it comes to happiness and(扩展一下恩哈特的智慧，虽然第二名可能是第一个失败者，但第三名可能是真正的赢家，至少在幸福和)”及下文“A 1995 study discovered that bronze winners appeared consistently happier on average than silver medalists, while another research in 2018 studied U.S. athletes in the Olympics from 1904 to1936 and found that those whose best performance was silver lived to 72 on average. Gold medalists beat this by living to 76. But the first prize went to the bronze winners, who lived to 78.(1995年的一项研究发现，铜牌获得者平均比银牌获得者更快乐，而2018年的另一项研究调查了1904年至1936年参加奥运会的美国运动员，发现那些最好成绩是银牌的人平均寿命为72岁。金牌得主可以活到76岁。但第一名是铜牌得主，他们活到了78岁)”可知，第三名的寿命最长。由此可知，划线词longevity与Long lifetime“长寿命”意思一致。故选A。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“The social concepts of upward and down ward comparison help explain the difference. Silver medalists see themselves as the first loser because they compare themselves only with the champions. In contrast, the bronze winners compare downwards with those who have never made it onto the podium (领奖台) at all. Therefore, they feel better about themselves and thus, happier. The emotion shows up in improved health and lifespan. In fact, researchers have found that comparing ourselves with the unfortunate lot of others is a reliable technique for reducing a negative mood. The comparison is not from a feeling of ill will, but because rewards in life are relative.(向上比较和向下比较的社会概念有助于解释这种差异。银牌获得者认为自己是第一个失败者，因为他们只把自己和冠军比较。相比之下，铜牌获得者与那些从未登上领奖台的人相比，地位较低。因此，他们自我感觉更好，因此更快乐。这种情绪表现在健康和寿命的改善上。事实上，研究人员发现，把自己和其他不幸的人比较是一种减少消极情绪的可靠方法。这种比较并不是出于恶意，而是因为生活中的回报是相对的)”可推知，向下比较能提高幸福感。故选C。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第三段中的“To expand on the wisdom of Earnhardt, although second place may be the first loser, third place can be the real winner, at least when it comes to happiness and longevity.(扩展一下恩哈特的智慧，虽然第二名可能是第一个失败者，但第三名可能是真正的赢家，至少在幸福和长寿方面是这样)”及第四段中的“The social concepts of upward and down ward comparison help explain the difference.(向上比较和向下比较的社会概念有助于解释这种差异)”可知，本文主要围绕“第三名是真正赢家”这一观点展开论述，通过引用以前的研究论证了其观点的合理性，并从“向上比较”和“向下比较”的差异对其进行了解释。由此可知，The Victory of Coming in Third(获得第三名的胜利)适合作本文最佳标题。故选D。
第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）
根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Several factors can influence your first impression of someone, including their physical features, voice and speech, surrounding environment, etc. It takes time to get to know personal characteristics that really convey (传达) someone’s nature. ___16___ These tips can help.
Stay conscious (有意识的) of body language
Body language can convey quite a bit about how you feel in a given situation. A few tips to consider: open up your posture (姿势); make some eye contact; and listen intently. ___17___ If eye contact feels uncomfortable, try just focusing on your posture.
Show your interest
Expressing interest in what someone has to say can help boost your chances of making a good impression. Try a thoughtful comment that keeps the conversation moving and makes it clear that you’ve been paying attention. ___18___ People generally want to know they can trust you.
Dress for the occasion
Previous research suggests that body language plays more of a part in first impressions than clothing. But your personal style can play a role, too. There’s nothing wrong with expressing yourself through your clothing. Just know that certain situations do call for a slightly more formal look. ___19___
Make small talk
___20___ But it can often pay off when it comes to leaving a positive impression. Even simple comments, like “I really like this new professor” or “Those are great shoes”, can start a conversation they’ll remember later.

A. What about learning a lesson from it at present
B. It’s all too easy to accidentally say something inconsiderate.
C. And keep any comments or praise you offer honest and genuine.

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。
My little sister, Meg, said that she wasn’t afraid of the dark anymore and she’d be OK staying with Aunt Lily in the country. “As long as you’re there, Mike,” she had said. Still, Mum was worried. Meg had never slept away from home, away from the city. So I told Mum I could handle everything.
Even though we were only staying overnight, Meg had brought six books-all about fairies (仙女). After we unpacked, Aunt Lily invited us to pick some flowers. As we followed her through the forest, Meg held my hand tightly. But once we reached the sunlit grassland, she let go. “Butterflies!” whispered Meg. She screamed with delight when one flew near her.
Maybe I had nothing to worry about, I thought. I still remembered when I was here last summer, I found some amazing insects, like fireflies (萤火虫) and walking sticks which I’d never seen in the city.
“Fairies are magical. See these beautiful flowers they grow!” she kept telling absolutely everything she knew about fairies. I was glad that if she kept it up until bedtime, then maybe she’d fall right to sleep.
Meg did keep chatting, right through supper. Then the sun began to set. “Does it get really dark out here at night ” she asked. Her eyes were fixed on the window.
“Sure, but we’ve got plenty of lights inside,” said Aunt Lily. She leaned over and gave Meg a warm smile. But I could tell she was still worried. “I could read to you.”
I hadn’t even finished a page when her bottom lip started shaking slightly. “Mike,” she said, her eyes starting to fill. “I want to go home.” I quickly searched through her book for something to keep her from crying.
The book fell open to a page that was dog-eared from use, a page that was obviously one of Meg’s favorites. The text read: “Among the trees deep in the forest, the lights of fairies gleam (闪烁).” Aha! How could I forget those “tiny fairies” out there
注意：

“Meg, there’s something outside I want to show you,” I whispered.

【答案】官方范文1
“Meg, there’s something outside I want to show you,” I whispered. Meg quickly covered her eyes with her hands. “I don’t want to look,” She sniffled. “Come to the window, OK It’s something you will like. I’m here. You’ll be all right.” I promised. When we were finally reached the window, I quietly switched off the lamp. A whisper of cool, damp air sifted through the screen of the open window. Outside, thick chunks of trees reached up into black clouds of leaves and fireflies hovered around like twinkling stars. Meg pressed her hands against the window, pushing herself away. But then she noticed them. Her stiffened arms relaxed.
“Tiny fairies, Mike!” she said, pressing her forehead against the window, “Everywhere!” They weren’t fairies, of course. But the winking lights really existed and were, in my opinion, better than magic. I wanted to tell Meg about these incredible insects that flashed in the dark, signaling to each other. Then I looked down into Meg’s shining eyes, and I decided she could learn about fireflies some other time. Meg was so absorbed in the breathtaking scene that she completely forgot her homesickness and soon fell asleep against my shoulder. I guess it turned out that I could handle everything-with a little help from the magical fairies. (216)

“Meg, there’s something outside I want to show you,” I whispered. With a tender smile and a touch of anxiety, I approached my little princess. Kneeling down, I wrapped my arm around her. Still fixing her eyes on the window, Meg whimpered, her voice quivering, “Mike, I don’t like the dark.” “I know, I know,” I soothed, gently running my fingers through her hair. “But hey, do you remember the tiny fairies we read about in the forest They are here to protect you!” She turned to me with watery eyes, her face etched with curiosity. Encouraged by my reassurance and steady voice, she followed me to the window.
“Tiny fairies, Mike!” she said, pressing her forehead against the window, “Everywhere!” Outside, a troop of fireflies twinkled like tiny fairies, casting a soft, magical glow in the darkness. Meg’s excitement bubbled over as she watched the fascinating dance of light outside. The night enveloped us with its gentle embrace, wrapping us in a blanket decorated with diamonds and warmth. Together, we marveled at the beauty of nature’s own miniature spectacle, feeling as if we had stepped into a page of Meg’s beloved fairy book. After a while, Meg’s eyes grew heavy and she peacefully drifted off to sleep. I was quite certain she would meet her fairies in her dreams. (220)

“Meg, there’s something outside I want to show you,” I whispered. Amusement tinged my voice as I tried to draw her attention to the outside. “It’s too dark!” Meg shook her head, with fear written all over her face. Before I could say anything else, she burst into tears and curled up in my arms, begging me to take her home. “Do you want to see the tiny fairies ” I whispered again, praying quietly that I could capture her interest. Much to my relief, the mention of “fairies” seemed to work wonders. Meg dried her tears, looking up at me with misty eyes filled with curiosity. “Where are they ” she asked eagerly as I placed her by the window, drawing back the curtains to reveal the gleaming fireflies.
“Tiny fairies, Mike!” she said, pressing her forehead against the window, “Everywhere!” There in the dark of the night, an enchanting scene unfolded as numerous fireflies illuminated the surroundings. “Fairies are magical. They drive away the darkness!” Meg exclaimed with sheer delight, completely forgetting her fear. “Yes, they are!” I nodded with a smile of agreement. She chattered excitedly about the magical fairies until she grew drowsy. Resting in my arms, Meg gazed outside the window with rapt attention, completely captivated by the gleaming creatures. It didn’t take long before she fell sound asleep. Stroking her head affectionately, I breathed a sigh of relief. A sense of achievement rose up, not only for my success in lulling my little sister to sleep, but also for helping her overcome her fear of darkness.(260)

Last weekend, my husband and I drove a dog to her new home. Typically, when we have a new dog in the backseat, it’s a young dog. But this passenger was a much different story. Magdalen is a 13-year-old dog. Her owner gave her up temporarily when he was sick, but when he fully recovered several months later, he said he didn’t want her back. He had had the dog since she was young but now had no place for her.
The family who had given her a temporary home had children and other dogs and was unable to give her a forever home. When Speak St. Louis, the rescue team I worked with, was contacted about the dog, they offered to take her in. She went to a vet (兽医) for a basic health check. But the vet didn’t have great news. Her mouth was swollen with all sorts of problems. Two teeth fell out during cleaning and eleven more had to be pulled out.
Luckily, a good friend of mine, a dog trainer with a soft heart for seniors, had agreed to adopt Magdalen. On the trip to the trainer’s home, the sweet senior looked so relaxed in our backseat. I felt a great sense of relief and pleasure.
It’s understandable that her owner needed some temporary help when he was sick. But I can’t imagine why he wouldn’t have wanted her back now. I think of my own dog and dogs we lost to old age in the past. We’re family and we stay that way forever. She’d be able to live a good life, I hoped, in her new home!

It’s no secret that walking is good for you. Many of us are trying to get in those recommended 10,000 steps a day that our wearable fitness technology urges us to achieve. But how many calories are we actually burning, and how can we get the most out of those steps Find answers in these ways.
Do you know the truth about calorie-burning Walking is a moderate intensity form of exercise. To get the most calorie-burning benefits, then, it would seem that walking at a consistently light pace would make the most sense. Pay attention to your heart rate and how you feel. Wearable technologies can certainly provide an idea of progress toward your calorie-burning goals. Using a fitness tracker equipment to help you recognize when you reach your target heart rate zones can help you maximize the calorie-burning.
Walking is often considered as a great fat-burning exercise, and for good reason. You can’t really walk at higher intensities because of the nature of the exercise; therefore, you end up in low-intensity zones, where you tend to burn more fat. When you’re walking at a lighter intensity with your heart rate in the 57% to 63% range, you are more likely to be using fat for fuel. No matter what your speed is, form matters. When done with good form, walking is an incredibly beneficial form of exercise for total health and wellness beyond mere caloric burn. Moreover, walking is the most accessible form of exercise because it doesn’t require any special clothes, equipment or memberships.
Whether your goal is fat loss, increased fitness or simply enhancing your overall health and wellness, walking offers all these benefits and more.
8. What is the purpose of paragraph 1
A. To introduce the topic.
B. To compare walking with other exercise.
C. To explain the wearable fitness technology.

“Second place is just the first loser” is a well-known saying from the legendary NASC ARchampion Dale Earnhardt. Or as my late father put it jokingly, “It’s not enough to win. Your friends have to lose, too.”
We may not want others to know our thoughts, but many of us think this way, because we are born to compete with each other. However, if left unmanaged, this can create conflicts between ourselves and others. Fortunately, there is a way to solve this problem: instead of always going for gold, aim for the bronze (铜牌).
To expand on the wisdom of Earnhardt, although second place may be the first loser, third place can be the real winner, at least when it comes to happiness and longevity. A 1995 study discovered that bronze winners appeared consistently happier on average than silver medalists, while another research in 2018 studied U.S. athletes in the Olympics from 1904 to1936 and found that those whose best performance was silver lived to 72 on average. Gold medalists beat this by living to 76. But the first prize went to the bronze winners, who lived to 78.
The social concepts of upward and down ward comparison help explain the difference. Silver medalists see themselves as the first loser because they compare themselves only with the champions. In contrast, the bronze winners compare downwards with those who have never made it onto the podium (领奖台) at all. Therefore, they feel better about themselves and thus, happier. The emotion shows up in improved health and lifespan. In fact, researchers have found that comparing ourselves with the unfortunate lot of others is a reliable technique for reducing a negative mood. The comparison is not from a feeling of ill will, but because rewards in life are relative.
The worldly happiness strategy of working for gold every day is foolish. Stop spending most of your time feeling like a silver medalist: always pursuing and relying your happiness on a single outcome. Rather, aim for healthy competitions in which you do your best without the expectation of being the absolute winner.
12. What does the joke from the author’s father imply
A. Everyone has his or her secret.
B. Winning and losing are quite common.
C. Defeat is embarrassing in a competition.
D. A true friend always stands by your side.
13. What does the underlined word “longevity” in paragraph 3 mean
A. Long lifetime. B. Enough pleasure.
C. Slow growth. D. Constant pursuit.
14. What can we learn about downward comparison from paragraph 4
A. It brings some shyness. B. It prevents conflicts.
C. It improves well-being. D. It reflects negative intentions.
15. What is the best title for the text
A. The Key to Being a Winner B. The Path to Worldly Happiness
C. The Wisdom of Dale Earnhardt D. The Victory of Coming in Third

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Several factors can influence your first impression of someone, including their physical features, voice and speech, surrounding environment, etc. It takes time to get to know personal characteristics that really convey (传达) someone’s nature. ___16___ These tips can help.
Stay conscious (有意识的) of body language
Body language can convey quite a bit about how you feel in a given situation. A few tips to consider: open up your posture (姿势); make some eye contact; and listen intently. ___17___ If eye contact feels uncomfortable, try just focusing on your posture.
Show your interest
Expressing interest in what someone has to say can help boost your chances of making a good impression. Try a thoughtful comment that keeps the conversation moving and makes it clear that you’ve been paying attention. ___18___ People generally want to know they can trust you.
Dress for the occasion
Previous research suggests that body language plays more of a part in first impressions than clothing. But your personal style can play a role, too. There’s nothing wrong with expressing yourself through your clothing. Just know that certain situations do call for a slightly more formal look. ___19___
Make small talk
___20___ But it can often pay off when it comes to leaving a positive impression. Even simple comments, like “I really like this new professor” or “Those are great shoes”, can start a conversation they’ll remember later.

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。
My little sister, Meg, said that she wasn’t afraid of the dark anymore and she’d be OK staying with Aunt Lily in the country. “As long as you’re there, Mike,” she had said. Still, Mum was worried. Meg had never slept away from home, away from the city. So I told Mum I could handle everything.
Even though we were only staying overnight, Meg had brought six books-all about fairies (仙女). After we unpacked, Aunt Lily invited us to pick some flowers. As we followed her through the forest, Meg held my hand tightly. But once we reached the sunlit grassland, she let go. “Butterflies!” whispered Meg. She screamed with delight when one flew near her.
Maybe I had nothing to worry about, I thought. I still remembered when I was here last summer, I found some amazing insects, like fireflies (萤火虫) and walking sticks which I’d never seen in the city.
“Fairies are magical. See these beautiful flowers they grow!” she kept telling absolutely everything she knew about fairies. I was glad that if she kept it up until bedtime, then maybe she’d fall right to sleep.
Meg did keep chatting, right through supper. Then the sun began to set. “Does it get really dark out here at night ” she asked. Her eyes were fixed on the window.
“Sure, but we’ve got plenty of lights inside,” said Aunt Lily. She leaned over and gave Meg a warm smile. But I could tell she was still worried. “I could read to you.”
I hadn’t even finished a page when her bottom lip started shaking slightly. “Mike,” she said, her eyes starting to fill. “I want to go home.” I quickly searched through her book for something to keep her from crying.
The book fell open to a page that was dog-eared from use, a page that was obviously one of Meg’s favorites. The text read: “Among the trees deep in the forest, the lights of fairies gleam (闪烁).” Aha! How could I forget those “tiny fairies” out there
注意：
1.续写词数应为150左右；
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
“Meg, there’s something outside I want to show you,” I whispered.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
“Tiny fairies, Mike!” she said, pressing her forehead against the window, “Everywhere!”
