29、，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。ASome years ago, writing in my diary used to be a usual activity. I would return from school and spend the expected half hour recording the days events, feelings, and impressions in my little blue diary. I did not really need to express my emotions by way of words, but I gained a certai

30、n satisfaction from seeing my experiences forever recorded on paper. After all, isnt accumulating memories a way of preserving the past?When I was thirteen years old, I went on a long journey on foot in a great valley, well-equipped with pens, a diary, and a camera. During the trip, I was busy recor

31、ding every incident, name and place I came across. I felt proud to be spending my time productively, dutifully preserving for future generations a detailed description of my travels. On my last night there, I wandered out of my tent, diary in hand. The sky was clear and lit by the glare of the moon,

32、 and the walls of the valley looked threatening behind their screen of shadows. I automatically took out my penAt that point, I understood that nothing I wrote could ever match or replace the few seconds I allowed myself to experience the dramatic beauty of the valley. All I remembered of the previo

33、us few days were the dull characterizations I had set down in my diary.Now, I only write in my diary when I need to write down a special thought or feeling. I still love to record ideas and quotations that strike me in books, or observations that are particularly meaningful. I take pictures, but not

34、 very oftenonly of objects I find really beautiful. Im no longer blindly satisfied with having something to remember when I grow old. I realize that life will simply pass me by if I stay behind the camera, busy preserving the present so as to live it in the future.I dont want to wake up one day and

35、have nothing but a pile of pictures and notes. Maybe I wont have as many exact representations of people and places; maybe Ill forget certain facts, but at least the experiences will always remain inside me. I dont live to make memoriesI just live, and the memories form themselves.56. What caused a

36、change in the authors understanding of keeping a diary?A. A dull night on the journey. B. The beauty of the great valley.C. A striking quotation from a book. D. Her concerns for future generations.57. What does the author put in her diary now?A. Notes and beautiful pictures. B. Special thoughts and

37、feelings.C. Detailed accounts of daily activities. D. Descriptions of unforgettable events.58. The author comes to realize that to live a meaningful life is _.A. to experience it B. to live the present in the futureC. to make memories D. to give accurate representations of it BWhile residents of wea

38、lthy nations tend to have greater life satisfaction, new research shows that those living in poorer nations report having greater meaning in life.These findings, published in Psychological Science, a journal of the Association for Psychological science, suggest that meaning in life may be higher in

39、poorer nations as a result of greater religiosity (笃信宗教). As countries become richer, religion becomes less central to peoples lives and they lose a sense of meaning in life.“Thus far, the wealth of nations has been almost always associated with longevity, health, happiness or life satisfaction,” ex

40、plains psychological scientist Shigehiro Oishi of the University of Virginia. “Given that meaning in life is an important aspect of overall well-being, we wanted to look more carefully at differential patterns, correlates (相关物), and predictors for meaning in life.”Oishi and colleague Ed Diener of th

41、e University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign investigated life satisfaction, meaning, and well-being by examining data from the 2007 Gallup World Poll, a large-scale survey of over 140,000 participants from 132 countries. In addition to answering a basic life satisfaction question, participants were

42、 asked: “Do you feel your life has an important purpose or meaning?” and “Is religion an important part of your daily life?”The data revealed some unexpected trends:“Among Americans, those who are high in life satisfaction are also high in meaning in life,” says Oishi. “But when we looked at the soc

43、ietal level of analysis, we found a completely different pattern of the association between meaning in life and life satisfaction.”When looking across many countries, Oishi and Diener found that people in wealthier nations were more educated, had fewer children, and expressed more individualistic at

44、titudes compared to those in poorer countries all factors that were associated with higher life satisfaction but a significantly lower sense of meaning in life.”The data suggest that religiosity may play an important role: Residents of wealthier nations, where religiosity is lower, reported less mea

45、ning in life and had higher suicide rates than poorer countries.According to the researchers, religion may provide meaning to life to the extent that it helps people to overcome personal difficulty and cope with the struggles of working to survive in poor economic conditions:“Religion gives a system

46、 that connects daily experiences with the coherent whole (连贯的整体) and a general structure to ones life and plays a critical role in constructing meaning out of extreme hardship,” the researchers write.Oishi and Diener hope to reproduce these findings using more comprehensive measures of meaning and r

47、eligiosity, and are interested in following countries over time to track whether economic prosperity gives rise to less religiosity and less meaning in life.59. Which of the following questions couldnt the participants have answered? A. Does your life have a purpose or meaning? B. Do you have relati

48、ves living abroad? C. Are you satisfied with your everyday life?D. Is religion involved in your daily life?60. Which of the following statements is true? A. Those who have higher life satisfaction usually have lower sense of meaning in life. B. People in wealthier nations were more educated, have fe

49、wer children and express less individualistic attitudes compared to those in poorer countries. C. Religion may provide meaning to life in that people can get strong support from it in face of hardship. D. Wealthy people are more likely to commit suicide than poor people.61. What can be inferred from

50、 the passage? A. The poorer a country is, the more religious its people are. B. Economic prosperity gives rise to less religiosity and less meaning in life. C. If you want to find meaning in life, you must practice a religion. D. Meaning in life doesnt have much to do with the amount of wealth one p

51、ossesses.62. The main purpose of the passage is to explain the possible reason why _. A. greater life satisfaction leads to lower sense of meaning B. residents of poorer nations enjoy greater meaning in life C. residents of poorer nations are so religiousD. residents of wealthy nations have greater

52、life satisfactionCA baby mermaid (美人鱼) was just born in Finland; Justin Bieber is getting married; iPhone 6 is going to be released this year We read rumors every day on the Internet. With the help of social media, rumors no matter whether they are true or false spread like wildfire, and sometimes w

53、e cant be sure what to believe. Now, an international group of researchers might be able to make it easier for us. They are working on a lie detector that could separate online truth from lies, Discovery News reported. Named after the Greek goddess Pheme, famed for spreading bad rumors, the system i

54、s far from a traditional lie detector, which works by attaching a machine to a potential liar. Instead, Pheme analyzes the rumor directly. When a rumor comes out, on a micro blog, for example, Pheme can trace the source of information to see if it was released by reliable sources like experts or new

55、s agencies. If it wasnt, Pheme then examines the history and background of the account to identify whether it was created just to spread rumors. After finding the source of the rumor, the system can keep a close eye on how other users react to the rumor either confirming or denying it to help analyz

56、e and further determine the reliability of the information. Some people might find the Pheme system unnecessary based on the idea that false rumors never survive for long and people always get to the truth over time. While thats a fair point, there is a certain class of rumors, such as “a tiger is a

57、t large” or “an asteroid (小行星) is about to hit the Earth”, that can cause panic among people and thus lead to serious consequences. These are cases when we need to be able to check for accuracy quickly. “Our system aims to help with that, by tracking and verifying (查证) information in real time,” a l

58、eading researcher Kalina Bontcheva, at the University of Sheffield, UK, told the BBC. According to Bontcheva, Pheme is still under development and wont be ready for another 18 months. Until then, theres an old-fashioned technique that you can use to protect yourself from false information ask questi

59、ons, check sources and dont believe any claim until youve seen the evidence.63. What is the article mainly about?A. Tips on how to deal with rumors online.B. Factors that make rumors so easy to spread.C. A new device that can check whether online rumors are true or not.D. An introduction to some typ

60、es of lie detectors.64. How does the Pheme system determine the reliability of a piece of information?A. Based on how the majority of people react to it.B. Based on the reliability of its sources and the history of its authors.C. By collecting and examining relevant information to further confirm it

61、.D. By making use of an “Internet bot” to track and verify the information.65. Which of the following statements might the author agree with?A. The Pheme system is not very helpful because all rumors eventually die down.B. The Pheme system will be ready to help social networks become more accurate b

62、y the end of 2014.C. The Pheme system can identify almost all kinds of rumors on social networking sites.D. The Pheme system aims to respond to rumors quickly so as to reduce the impact of false ones.DWhat Is Todays American DreamThey may not have called it the American Dream, but for centuries peop

63、le have gone to America in search of freer, happier, and richer lives. But is todays American Dream a mythical concept or still a reality?Isabel Belarskys tiny Brooklyn apartment fills with the sound of her fathers voice. Sidor Belarsky sings an Aria in Russian and 90-year-old Isabel, her lips paint

64、ed an elegant red, sways gently to the song coming from her stereo.Isabel speaks with pride about her fathers talent and his success as an opera singer: Albert Einstein was such a fan she says that he invited Sidor to accompany him on his speaking engagements and would ask him to sing to the audienc

65、e.How the Belarskys came to be in America is an extraordinary tale that Isabel loves to tell. It was the offer of a six-month job by a Mormon college president, who had seen Sidor singing in Leningrad, that enabled the Belarskys to escape from Stalins Russia in 1930. “Our dream was being in America,

66、” Isabel says. “They loved it. My mother could never think of Russia, it was her enemy and my father, he made such a wonderful career here.”Like generations of immigrants before them, the Belarskys came to America in search of freedomto them the American Dream meant liberty. But Isabel says it promi

67、sed even more. “The dream is to work, to have a home and to get ahead. You can start as a janitor and become the owner of the building.”The American Dream is not written into the constitution but it is so ingrained in the national psyche that it might as well be. Many point to the second sentence in

68、 the Declaration of Independencethe “certain unalienable rights” that include “life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness” as the “official” version of the phrase. But it was actually in 1931 that the term was popularized, when historian James Truslow Adams wrote in The Epic of America that the Drea

69、m means “a better, richer, and happier life for all our citizens of every rank”.The concept of the American Dream has not stayed static. For European immigrants, like Isabel, fleeing persecution in the first half of the last century, the Dream was about a life without persecution. But somewhere in t

70、he middle of the last century the dream changed. As Americas post war economy boomed, the new arrivals wanted more than freedomthey wanted a share of the prosperity as well. In the 1950s, TV commercials featured housewives proudly showing off kitchens filled with gleaming appliances. The quest for l

71、iberation became a quest for Coca Cola. As the century wore on, the materialistic slant of the dream overtook the political side. Dallas and Dynasty suggested this was a country where it was possible to become not just rich, but filthily rich.Cheyanne Smith was shocked at the deprivation that greete

72、d her in America. She arrived in New York from the Caribbean seven years ago. Having watched endless American TV shows as a child, she thought she knew what to expect when her family moved to Brooklyn. Instead, the deprivation of one of New Yorks poorest neighbourhoods shocked her.“I thought this is

73、 not America because this is not what I see on television,” she says. Like Cheyanne, 18-year-old Franscisco Curiel is also ambitious. He came from Mexico City three years ago to go to college here but hes worried that Brooklyns schools arent going to give him a good enough education. “The system is

74、broken; we cant get the superior education that they supposedly want to give us,” he says.Through the centuries Americas immigrants have endured terrible hardship and sacrifice so that they and their children can get ahead. Perhaps its not surprising to hear the members of the Bushwick youth group l

75、ament the multiple, low paid jobs that their parents must do simply to get the rent paid and put food on the table. What is startling is that these bright, ambitious youngsters just dont believe that talent and hard work are enough to ensure they will ever have a shot at that mythical American Dream

76、.66. Why did the Belarskys come to the US according to the passage?A. To seek freedom.B. To seek wealth.C. To seek good education.D. To seek a good job.67. What is the meaning of “the materialistic slant of the dream overtook the political side” in Paragraph 9?A. The American Dream means both materi

77、al success and political freedom.B. The American Dream means material success rather than political freedom.C. The American Dream means more material success than political freedom.D. The American Dream means more political freedom than material success.68. What is Cheyanne Smith and Franscisco Curi

78、els attitude toward American Dream?A. Hopeful.B. Disappointed.C. Optimistic.D. Neutral.69. What can we know about the Bushwick youth group according to the last paragraph?A. They feel grateful that their parents did low paid jobs to raise the family.B. They doubt that talent and hard work will make

79、them realize their American Dream.C. They have endured great hardship and sacrifice.D. They are willing to do the low paid jobs to help pay their education.70. What can be inferred from the passage?A. The American Dream is deeply-rooted in the national psyche.B. The concept of the American Dream has

The concept of American Dream will remain unchanged in the next two decades.第卷（非选择题 共35分）第四部分：任务型阅读（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分）请认真阅读下列短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。Scientists, doctors a

81、nd mental health professionals have been studying the connection between colors and mood for years. Many now believe that colors can not only bring about emotional reactions, but can also correct mood. Colors behave in three basic ways: active, passive and neutral (中和的). Active colors are warm color

82、s, including yellow, orange and red. These colors bring confidence. Warm colors can also bring cheerful attitudes. Yellows and golden colors work well in offices, kitchens and study areas. Reds heat up a room. Passive colors or cool colors make people calm, quiet and satisfied. Bedrooms, private are

83、as and bathrooms are great places for blues and greens. Beige, gray and white are thought of as neutral colors. They help to put the focus on other colors or serve to tone down colors that might otherwise be overpowering on their own.You can easily change the look or feel of a room by making good us

84、e of different colors. Mixing and matching colors is an excellent way to balance color and emotion, and provide a welcoming feel for guests. To create a feeling of warmth and comfort in a room, use bright, warm colors like yellow, orange and red. These colors are good choices for rooms that appear c

85、ool due to limited sunlight. Yellow adds cheerfulness to dull rooms. You can add yellows to rooms which are not closely related to happy thoughts, such as kitchens and laundry room. In rooms where theres plenty of sunshine, cool colors can provide a calming environment. Sage greens and sky blues are

86、 perfect for bedrooms, playrooms and activity areas. Neutral colors, such as pale gray, white and beige, send a peaceful message to your brain.

As is shown in the cartoon, the World Heritage sites are overcrowded with large groups of tourists pushing, taking photos, or even spitting, smoking and

93、 scribbling everywhere, which has caused great damage to these historic buildings. One of the contributing factors of this phenomenon is that the local government is pushing too hard for the development of tourism, ignoring damage prevention and educational function of the sites. Moreover, some self

94、-centered tourists are uncivilized in public places, ignorant of the historical and cultural value of the sites. From my point of view, the original purpose of setting up World Heritage sites is to help preserve history so that people will be able to enjoy it for generations to come. I suggest both the government and the public should be aware that the best form of conservation is the prevention of damage and committees should be established to undertake important educational work.- 13 - 版权所有高考资源网
