Practice after practice, he eagerly gave everything he had. But being half the size of the other boys, he got absolutely nowhere. Des

2、pite his hard training at all the games, this hopeful athlete sat on the bench and hardly ever played.This teenager lived alone with his father, and the relationship between the two of them was very special. Even though the son was always on the bench, his father was always in the stands cheering. H

3、e never missed a game. This young man was still the smallest of the class when he entered high school. But his father continued to encourage him.The young man loved football and was determined to try his best at every practice, and perhaps hed get to play when he became a senior. All through high sc

4、hool he never missed a practice nor a game but remained a benchwarmer. Besides, his faithful father was always in the stands, always with words of encouragement for him. When the young man went to college, he decided to try out for the football team as a “walk-on”. Everyone firmly believed that he c

5、ould never make the cut, but he did.The news that he had survived the cut thrilled him so much that he rushed to the nearest phone and called his father. His father shared his excitement and was sent season tickets for all the college games. This persistent young athlete never missed practice during

6、 his four years at college, but actually he never got the real chance to play in a game.It was at the end of his senior football season that the coach met him with a telegram. The young man read the telegram and he became totally silent. Swallowing hard, he mumbled to the coach, “My father died this

7、 morning. Is it all right if I miss practice today?” The coach put his arm gently around his shoulder and said, “Take the rest of the week off, son. And dont even plan to come back to the game on Saturday.”Saturday arrived, and the game was not going well. In the third quarter, when the team was ten

8、 points behind, a silent young man quietly slipped into the empty locker room and put on his football gear. As he ran onto the sidelines, the coach and his players were surprised to see their faithful teammate back so soon. “Coach, please let me play. Ive just got to play today,” said the young man.

9、 The coach pretended not to hear him. There was no way he wanted his worst player in this close play-off game. But the young man insisted, and finally feeling sorry for the kid, the coach gave in. “All right,” he said. “You can go in.” Before long, the coach, the players and everyone in the stands c

10、ould not believe their eyes. This little unknown, who had never played before, was doing everything right. The opposing team could not stop him. He ran, passed, blocked, and tackled like a star. His team began to succeed. The score was soon tied. In the closing seconds of the game, this kid got a pa

11、ss and ran all the way for the winning touchdown.Finally, after the stands had emptied, the coach noticed that this young man was sitting quietly in the corner all alone. The coach came to him and said, “Kid, you were unbelievably fantastic! Tell me what got into you? How did you do it?”He looked at

12、 the coach, tears in his eyes, and said, “Well, you knew my dad died, but did you know that my dad was blind?” The young man swallowed hard and forced a smile, “Dad came to all my games, but today was the first time he could see me play, and I wanted to show him I could make it!”21Whats the writers

13、attitude toward the young boy in this passage?A. Appreciative.B. Critical.C. Grateful.D. Negative.22From the passage, we can infer that _.A. the young mans coach played an important role in his growthB. the young mans father had a great positive influence on himC. not until his father passed away di

14、d the young man train hardD. the young mans road to success in football was always smooth23Why did the young man return to the match on Saturday?A.

15、posing team in this significant game.D. He planned to make money to cure his father of his blindness.24Whats the best title of the passage?A.A thrilling football matchB. Determined father and sonC. The power of dreamsD. The encouragement of a coachCI used to think the whole purpose of life was pursu

16、ing happiness. Everyone said the path to happiness was success, so I searched for that ideal job, that perfect boyfriend, that beautiful apartment. But instead of ever feeling fulfilled, I felt anxious and adrift. Eventually, I decided to go to graduate school for positive psychology to learn what t

17、ruly makes people happy. And whats the difference between being happy and having meaning in life? Many psychologists define happiness as a state of comfort and ease, feeling good in the moment. Meaning, though, is deeper. The renowned psychologist Martin Seligman says meaning comes from belonging to

18、 and serving something beyond yourself and from developing the best within you. Our culture is obsessed with happiness, but I came to see that seeking meaning is the more fulfilling path. There are four pillars (支柱) of a meaningful life. The first pillar is belonging. Belonging comes from being in r

19、elationships where youre valued for who you are intrinsically and where you value others as well. For many people, belonging is the most essential source of meaning. For others, the key to meaning is the second pillar: purpose. Finding your purpose is not the same thing as finding that job that make

20、s you happy. A hospital custodian told me her purpose is healing sick people. Many parents tell me, “My purpose is raising my children.” The key to purpose is using your strengths to serve others. Without something worthwhile to do, people flounder. The third pillar of meaning is also about stepping

21、 beyond yourself, but in a completely different way: transcendence (超然). Transcendent experiences can change you. Transcendent states are those rare moments when youre lifted above the hustle and bustle of daily life, your sense of self fades away, and you feel connected to a higher reality. For me,

22、 Im a writer, and it happens through writing. Sometimes I get so in the zone that I lose all sense of time and place. The fourth pillar is storytelling, the story you tell yourself about yourself. Creating a narrative from the events of your life brings clarity. It helps you understand how you becam

23、e you. But we dont always realize that were the authors of our stories and can change the way were telling them. Your life isnt just a list of events. You can edit, interpret and retell your story, even as youre constrained by the facts. Thats the power of meaning. Happiness comes and goes. But when

24、 life is really good and when things are really bad, having meaning gives you something to hold on to. 29. What can we infer from the first two paragraphs?A. Life can be fulfilled by landing ideal jobs. B. Life dilemma is easy for us to get out of.C. Happiness is the core values in our culture. D. H

25、appiness is what most people pursue.30. From the four pillars of a meaningful life, we can know that _.A. nothing is as essential a source of meaning as belongingB. purpose is less about what you want than what you giveC. transcendent fades easily and rarely makes us cheerful D. the way of telling s

26、tories guarantees a meaningful life31. The passage aims to tell us that _.A. meaning is more important than happiness B. seeking meaning does more good than badC. chasing happiness can make people unhappy D. meaning has deeper psychological significance第二节(共5小题：每小题2分，满分10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

27、选项， Whenever anyone measures educational success, East Asian countries are always top scorers. But in a recent league table, a European country, Finland, was top of the class. 36 . Britain was at No.6. What is the secret of Finland and South Koreas success? Its time to do some homework. In South Kor

28、ea the school day is long-typically 7 or 8 hours, followed by hours of private tutoring in the evenings. 37 Worries about the effects of late night cramming (forcing sb. to learn too much) led the government to force cramming schools to close by 10 pm. Finnish children spend the least time in class

29、in the developed world, often finishing just after lunch, with about one hour of homework a day. Private tuition is uncommon. The British school day is quite long in comparison, about 6 hours, and secondary school pupils do 2 or 3 hours of self-study a night.The South Korean education system, like m

30、any in Asia, is extremely competitive, with students even competing to get into the best cramming schools to get ahead. Finnish education is far less competitive. 38 British schools again occupy the middle ground, with quite high levels of competition for places at university, and schools and univer

South Korea and Finland both do well, yet their education systems are so different. 39 Well, there are some similarities in South Korea and Finland. In those countries, teachers have a high status

32、in society, and education is very highly valued. Those attitudes cant change quickly. But it can be done. 40 Their quite different approach to schooling took them to the top in just a generation.A. Then where do their differences lie? B.

A recent university study found that current electric cars could be used for 87 percent of daily car journeys in the US. That figure could rise to 98 percent by 2

49、020. One hurdle to the widespread adoption of electric cars has been “range anxiety” - drivers concerns about running out of juice on a journey. While petrol stations are conveniently located across national road systems, the necessary network of electric charging stations is still being developed.

50、That said, charging points are becoming increasingly common throughout the USA.Attitudes towards electric vehicles have changed quite considerably over the last few years. Not that long ago, electric cars were met with distrust, and their large price tags drove customers away. Thanks to improvements

51、 in battery capacity, recharging times, performance and price, the current generation of electric cars is starting to persuade critics. Plug-in cars will soon give international combustion engine models a run for their money. As well as advancements on the road, electric vehicles are taking to the s

However, because of the production processes and the generation of electricity required to charge these vehicles, they can not claim to be completely emission-free. That s

58、ts, meetings, needy colleaguesand the list goes on. Many companies even encourage us to perform multiple things at once, creating open office spaces that promote impromptu (临时的) dialogues to go along with jobs that require us to handle totally different tasks at the same time.But a growing number of

59、 researchers say that trying to perform multiple tasks makes you less productive. It turns out that you get more done when you focus on a single task.Thats because our brains are hardwired to do one thing at a time. When we think we are multi-tasking, were really not. Instead, as far as our brains a

60、re concerned, we are fully switching back and forth between tasks.Doing that repeatedly tires out the brain and lowers cognitive ability, research shows. “Its never multitasking,” says Devora Zack, author of the book Single Tasking. “And it completely backfires in every sense of the word.”Multitaski

Because the brain was not built to multitask, over ti

63、 When we do a lot of things at once, say, answering emails while writing a report or taking a call while were in a meeting, it makes us feel busy and productive, says Dr. Christine Carter, executive director of the Greater Good Science Center at the University of California, Berkeley.“Busyness is a

64、sign of importance, which serves the old guard,” says Carter. “There is the myth that the more time you spend in the office, the better worker you are.”She sees that attitude as a hangover from the prime of industrialization when we clocked in and out of factories and offices. Back then the myth was

65、 manageable, because people usually left work at the office when they went home in the evenings. “The whole thing got blown out of balance with the rise of laptops and email,” she says. “Complicating matters,” writes Chapman, “technology is actually rewiring our brainsto be addicted to interruption,

66、 as we anxiously wait for the next ping signaling a new email, text or social media post.” In other words, like any addiction, even though we know interruptions are bad for us, they are hard to switch off. “We suffer as a society from scattered brain syndrome”, says Single Tasking author Zack. “Its
