读音规则解读
语调
英语朗读的语调来自音调的变化,英语的语调有四种,但以降调和升调为两种基本语调。
1.降调:一般用于陈述、命令,表达“完整”“肯定”的含义;降调给人一种完结的印象。能使用降调的句子有陈述句、特殊疑问句、带命令口吻的祈使句、感叹句等。
2.升调:一般用于提问等,表达“不肯定”“礼貌”“委婉”的含义。一般疑问句、反意疑问句的疑问部分用升调表示一种不肯定。
3.降升调:前面是陈述句,后面有表示不肯定或疑问的附加语。
4.升降调:表示说话者不肯定,常用于选择疑问句、列举事物、计数或点东西。

Imagine you found a wallet containing a stranger’s contact details but no cash.Would you return it to its owner Now imagine the same wallet contained a few banknotes.Would that change your response Does it depend on the amount of money And how do you think other people would react
Ⅰ.主题语篇阅读(此篇精读)
语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文,主要介绍了Alain Cohn博士进行了一项用金钱参与的研究,试图探测不同人的诚实度。研究表明,人们的诚实是真实而普遍的。
Honesty makes the world go round.Without people trusting in one another,society would fall apart.Honesty is therefore studied ①academically.Most work in the area,though,takes place under controlled conditions in labs,often featuring(以……为特点) ②well-off and well-educated Westerners as its subjects.By contrast,Alain Cohn of the University of Michigan and his colleagues have taken such ③behavioral economics around the world,covering 40 countries,355 cities and more than 17,000 people.
As the team reported this week in Science,Dr Cohn’s research ④assistants entered public buildings.They handed in a wallet to the receptionist,saying they had found it on the street outside.Each wallet contained contact details.Importantly,some wallets also included $13.45,while others not.Then,the team simply waited to see who would return the wallet.
In 38 of the 40 countries,the wallets with money were returned more often than those without (51% vs 40%).In addition,wallets containing a larger sum of money ($94.15) were even more likely (by about another 10%) to be returned than those with less.
With greater temptation(诱惑),then,comes greater honesty—at least when it comes to lost wallets.Interestingly,though,such honesty is not reflected in people’s expectations of others.When surveyed,most of 299 volunteers predicted that the more money in a wallet,the less likely it would be returned.
A certain doubt about the motives of others is probably good for survival.But the warm inner thought of “doing the right thing” is also a powerful motivation.How this altruism developed is much debated—particularly when it extends,as in Dr Cohn’s experiments,to strangers whom the altruist has no expectation of ever meeting.Be that as it may,as this study shows,such altruism is real and universal.
1.How is Alain Cohn’s research different from the previous
A.It was carried out in controlled situations.
B.More scientists participated in the research.
C.It covered varied subjects and backgrounds.
D.It took no account of well-educated Westerners.

细节理解题。根据第二段中“Most work in the area,though,takes place under controlled conditions in labs...By contrast,Alain Cohn of the University of Michigan and his colleagues have taken such behavioral economics around the world,covering 40 countries,355 cities and more than 17,000 people.”可知,Alain Cohn的研究与以往研究的区别是他的研究涵盖了不同的对象和背景。故选C项。
解析
2.What can we learn from the research
A.Rate of honesty varies among countries.
B.People prefer returning wallets without money.
C.The less money in a wallet,the higher rate of returning.
D.Wallets with more money are more likely to be given back.

细节理解题。根据第四段中的“此外,装有较多金额(94.15美元)的钱包比装有较少金额的钱包更有可能(又高出10%)被归还”可知,研究表明,钱包里的钱越多,就越有可能被归还。故选D项。
解析
3.What can be inferred from paragraph 5
A.People are more honest than we expect.
B.People tend to expect honesty from others.
C.More money always means greater honesty.
D.Most people lose honesty facing great temptation.

推理判断题。根据第五段中“Interestingly,though,such honesty is not reflected in...expectations of others.”可推断,人们比我们预期的要诚实。故选A项。
解析
4.What does the underlined word “altruism” in the last paragraph mean
A.Doubt of others’ motivations.
B.Understanding of people’s doubt.
C.The motivation for survival.
D.Concern for others’ needs.

词义猜测题。画线词前文说对他人动机的某种怀疑可能有利于生存。但“做正确的事”这种温暖的内心想法也是一种强大的动力。由此可知,altruism指的是上文的“做正确的事”的想法,与D项“关心他人的需求”意思相近,故选D项。
解析
①academically(派)=academic+ally adv.________
②well-off adj.________
③behavioral(派)=behavior+al adj.________
④assistant(派)=assist+ant n.______

解析
Or you’ll want more.Happiness is a feeling.It is often used to describe a range of positive emotions,including joy,pride,contentment,and gratitude.

Two upper-class brothers named Roderick and Oliver made a bet about whether a penniless man would maintain a comfortable life with a million-pound bank note.They saw by accident a young man in rags wandering near their house,so they asked the servant to call him in.Wearing broad smiles,they thought he was the right sort of man they wanted.The young man had been caught in a storm at sea and spotted by a ship sailing to Britain.As a matter of fact,he was a man who/that worked for a mining company in America.In London he had gone to the American consulate to ask the ambassador for help,but he failed and didn’t dare to try again,with his forehead knotting in a frown.He was asked many odd questions and it was normal for him to lose patience.To be honest,he was so hungry indeed and ought to be on his way. Just as he was about to leave,the two brothers stopped him and gave him a large envelope in case he needed it in the future.Eventually,they asked him to promise to postpone opening it until 2 o’clock.
钱是幸福生活的基础吗?我们应该根据一个人有多少钱来评价他吗?我喜欢各种各样的戏剧,包括歌剧和音乐剧。我曾经在一出戏中扮演恐龙的角色,并得到了许多观众的拥抱。这次我想做一个叙述者,用叙事的方式来讲述来自戏剧《百万英镑》的一个场景。如果我遗漏了其中的任何情节,我愿意向你道歉。 名叫罗德里克和奥利弗的两兄弟来自上流社会,两人打了一个赌,赌一个身无分文的人是否能凭一张百万英镑的钞票过上舒适的生活。他们偶然看到一个衣衫褴褛的年轻人在他们的房子附近徘徊,所以他们让仆人把他叫进来。兄弟二人脸上挂着灿烂的笑容,他们认为他正是他们想要的那种人。这个年轻人在海上遭遇风暴,被一艘驶往英国的船发现。事实上,他是在美国一家矿业公司工作的人。在伦敦,他曾到美国领事馆寻求大使的帮助,但失败了,他皱着眉头,不敢再试了。他被问了许多奇怪的问题,失去耐心是很正常的。老实说,他实在太饿了,该走了。正当他要离开时,两兄弟拦住了他,并给了他一个大信封,以防将来用得着。最后,他们让他承诺把打开信封的时间推迟到2点。

Listen to the news report on P50 again and fill in the blanks with the words you hear.
Recently,a cleaner by the name of Chen Liyan has made the headlines for her generous and honest act.
The 45-year-old Chen 1.was sweeping the floor at Taiyuan Railway Station early last Tuesday morning when she found a small plastic bag near a chair and discovered 100,000 yuan inside.Chen was shocked but she was determined 2.to return the money to its owner.
When interviewed by the local paper yesterday,Chen said,“I would have felt bad if I had kept the money.After all,3.the owner might have needed it badly.”
While working,Chen watched carefully for anyone who might have been the owner.She waited for over two hours,but having no luck,she went to the nearest police station to turn the money in.There,it was finally returned to its owner,Wang Zheng.
Wang thanked Chen repeatedly and 4.apologised for the inconvenience,even offering her 5,000 yuan as a reward.To his surprise,however,Chen refused,believing that it would be wrong to accept money that she had not earned.
But what is even 5.more surprising,perhaps,is that Chen’s daughter,16-year-old Liu Xia is currently seriously ill.Chen had already spent the last of her savings on the ongoing treatments and has also taken out a large loan.
Fortunately,Ma Dongbao,who works at the police station,6.stepped in.Living in the same apartment building as Chen’s family,Ma was well aware of Chen’s difficulties.When Wang was told about Chen’s situation,he decided 7.to set up a fundraising website to pay for Liu’s hospital bills.
Chen Liyan’s example shows a different way of thinking about money.Money is important,but to people like Chen,it definitely isn’t everything.And that’s a great 8.attitude to take.
Now,in other news,one city in...[Fade out.]

Henry:That was 4.a wonderful meal. You know,uh,it’s amazing how much pleasure you get out of the simple things if you have to get along without them for a while.

Henry:That clock of yours,is it correct
Owner:If anything,it’s fast.

Owner:Good,sir It’s good of you,sir! You must come whenever you want and have whatever you like. The mere honour of your presence is a reward in itself.

Owner:It would be a very poor thing,sir,if I couldn’t 12.trust a gentleman as rich as yourself,sir,even if you do play larks upon the public in the matter of dress. As for the bill,sir,please forget it. It’s of no consequence,no consequence at all.
Henry:Thank you very much then.That’s very nice of you.
Owner:Oh,it’s for us to thank you,sir. And I do,sir,from the bottom of my heart.

Imagine you found a wallet containing a stranger’s contact details but no cash.Would you return it to its owner Now imagine the same wallet contained a few banknotes.Would that change your response Does it depend on the amount of money And how do you think other people would react
Honesty makes the world go round.Without people trusting in one another,society would fall apart.Honesty is therefore studied ①academically.Most work in the area,though,takes place under controlled conditions in labs,often featuring(以……为特点) ②well-off and well-educated Westerners as its subjects.By contrast,Alain Cohn of the University of Michigan and his colleagues have taken such ③behavioral economics around the world,covering 40 countries,355 cities and more than 17,000 people.
As the team reported this week in Science,Dr Cohn’s research ④assistants entered public buildings.They handed in a wallet to the receptionist,saying they had found it on the street outside.Each wallet contained contact details.Importantly,some wallets also included $13.45,while others not.Then,the team simply waited to see who would return the wallet.
In 38 of the 40 countries,the wallets with money were returned more often than those without (51% vs 40%).In addition,wallets containing a larger sum of money ($94.15) were even more likely (by about another 10%) to be returned than those with less.
With greater temptation(诱惑),then,comes greater honesty—at least when it comes to lost wallets.Interestingly,though,such honesty is not reflected in people’s expectations of others.When surveyed,most of 299 volunteers predicted that the more money in a wallet,the less likely it would be returned.
A certain doubt about the motives of others is probably good for survival.But the warm inner thought of “doing the right thing” is also a powerful motivation.How this altruism developed is much debated—particularly when it extends,as in Dr Cohn’s experiments,to strangers whom the altruist has no expectation of ever meeting.Be that as it may,as this study shows,such altruism is real and universal.
语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文,主要介绍了Alain Cohn博士进行了一项用金钱参与的研究,试图探测不同人的诚实度。研究表明,人们的诚实是真实而普遍的。
1.How is Alain Cohn’s research different from the previous
A.It was carried out in controlled situations.
B.More scientists participated in the research.
C.It covered varied subjects and backgrounds.
D.It took no account of well-educated Westerners.
答案 C
解析 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Most work in the area,though,takes place under controlled conditions in labs...By contrast,Alain Cohn of the University of Michigan and his colleagues have taken such behavioral economics around the world,covering 40 countries,355 cities and more than 17,000 people.”可知,Alain Cohn的研究与以往研究的区别是他的研究涵盖了不同的对象和背景。故选C项。
2.What can we learn from the research
A.Rate of honesty varies among countries.
B.People prefer returning wallets without money.
C.The less money in a wallet,the higher rate of returning.
D.Wallets with more money are more likely to be given back.
答案 D
解析 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“此外,装有较多金额(94.15美元)的钱包比装有较少金额的钱包更有可能(又高出10%)被归还”可知,研究表明,钱包里的钱越多,就越有可能被归还。故选D项。
3.What can be inferred from paragraph 5
A.People are more honest than we expect.
B.People tend to expect honesty from others.
C.More money always means greater honesty.
D.Most people lose honesty facing great temptation.
答案 A
解析 推理判断题。根据第五段中“Interestingly,though,such honesty is not reflected in...expectations of others.”可推断,人们比我们预期的要诚实。故选A项。
4.What does the underlined word “altruism” in the last paragraph mean
A.Doubt of others’ motivations.
B.Understanding of people’s doubt.
C.The motivation for survival.
D.Concern for others’ needs.
答案 D
解析 词义猜测题。画线词前文说对他人动机的某种怀疑可能有利于生存。但“做正确的事”这种温暖的内心想法也是一种强大的动力。由此可知,altruism指的是上文的“做正确的事”的想法,与D项“关心他人的需求”意思相近,故选D项。
[语境猜词] ①academically(派)=academic+ally adv.学术上 ②well-off adj.富裕的 ③behavioral(派)=behavior+al adj.行为的 ④assistant(派)=assist+ant n.助手 [句式分析] When surveyed,most of 299 volunteers predicted that the more money in a wallet,the less likely it would be returned. 分析:此句为复合句。when surveyed为时间状语从句的省略,完整形式为“when they were surveyed”;that引导宾语从句,从句中含有“the+比较级...,the+比较级...”结构,表示“越……,就越……”。 翻译:当接受调查时,299名志愿者中的大多数人预测,钱包里的钱越多,它被归还的可能性就越小。
Ⅱ.七选五阅读(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
A recent study showed that money can buy happiness,but only a certain amount.The researchers concluded that the ideal(理想的) income for individuals is $95,000 a year for life satisfaction. 1 That means money is only a part of what makes us happy.If we’re really unhappy to our core(核心) inner being,then there are limits to how happy money can make us.
What exactly is happiness anyway Is it a car,a house or a big screen TV Buying a new car feels great at first.But months and years later,it’ll just be a car. 2 And then you’re back to where you started.Or you’ll want more.Happiness is a feeling.It is often used to describe a range of positive emotions,including joy,pride,contentment,and gratitude.
Science now shows that happiness is not about how much money you have,but how you spend it.Donating can help you find the meaning in life.You don’t have to have large amounts of cash to make a difference. 3
Spending money on experiences has been shown to increase happiness as well. 4 You can travel,learn a new musical instrument,or even take a cooking class.
5 It could be sleeping in.It might be a hug or watching a butterfly.Money doesn’t have anything to do with these.However,these are the little things in life that matter.They bring us happiness.Happiness is found in the smallest behaviors rather than material things.
A.The newness eventually wears off.
B.What else brings a smile to your face
C.How do you develop the right attitude towards money
D.They create memories and connections that can last for a lifetime.
E.You can just buy a cup of coffee for the person in line behind you.
F.If you see someone else’s fancy car,it’s easy to want the same thing.
G.Once that amount is reached,further income is actually related with reduced happiness.
1.答案 G
解析 上文“The researchers concluded that the ideal (理想的) income for individuals is $95,000 a year for life satisfaction.”提到了个人理想的年收入,本句应承接上文,说明这一数字对幸福感的影响。故G选项“一旦达到这个数字,收入的增加实际上与幸福感的降低有关”符合语境,故选G。
2.答案 A
解析 上文“ Buying a new car feels great at first.But months and years later,it’ll just be a car.”提到刚买新车的时候感觉很棒,但几个月或几年后,你会变得习以为常,对车子不再有新鲜感了。故A选项“新鲜感最终会消失”符合语境,故选A。
3.答案 E
解析 上文提到你不必有大笔的钱来有所影响,由此可知,本句应承接上文,说明一点小事就可以产生影响。故E选项“你可以只是给排在你后面的人买杯咖啡”符合语境,故选E。
4.答案 D
解析 根据上文“Spending money on experiences has been shown to increase happiness as well.”可知,本句承接上文,说明体验带来的影响。故D选项“它们创造的记忆和联系可以持续一生”符合语境,故选D。
