When I was in primary school, my happy place was a tree in the woods where I could sit and watch the leaves turn golden and red in the fall. When I was a teenager, my happy place was my bedroom where I could lie on my bed and listen for hours to my favorite songs on the radio. As a young man, my happy place was an old rocking chair where I could hold my newborn babies in my arms and gently rock them to sleep.As I got older, though, I realized that the very best happy place of all was deep down within my own soul. It was there that I realized just how much I was loved. It was there that I saw I could love too. It was there that I learned my happiness was in my own hands and that I could create it, one loving choice at a time.When you have your own soul as your happy place, then your happy place is wherever you decide to go. When your happy place lives in your heart, then you get to give it to everyone you meet. When your happy place is a very life you live, then you make the world around you a happier place as well. Create your own happy place then. Fill your heart with love. Fill your soul with kindness. Fill your days with joy. Take this glorious gift of life you have been given and live it, one loving choice at a time.21. What does the underlined word “ponder” in Paragraph 1 mean?A. Call at.B. Leave for., C. Think about.D. Search for.22. Which of the following is NOT true about the authors happy place?A. It differed as he grew.B. It was in his own hands.C. It lay in the depth of his soul.D. It was shaped by his surroundings.23. According to the author, what influences ones happy place most?A. Attitude. B. Creativity.C. Kindness.D. Environment.24. What is the authors purpose in writing the passage?A. To suggest ways to find happy places.B. To share his own growing experience.C. To stress the importance of happy places.D. To illustrate his understanding of happy places.BHousework might seem tiring, but a Singapore-based team of researchers have suggested tasks like dusting, sweeping floors and washing the windows might help adults to stay healthy into old age. Writing in the journal BMJ Open, they said regular physical activity “improves physical and mental health, lowers the risks of chronic (慢性的)diseases, encourages motion and reduces falls, dependence and even the death rate among older adults”.The team randomly surveyed 489 adults aged 21-90 from the town of Yishun in Singapore and asked them to complete cognitive (认知的)function tests as well as activities to assess their physical abilities, such as standing up from a chair as quickly as they could. Participants were also quizzed on their levels of physical activity, including the amount of light housework (such as dusting) and heavy housework (such as sweeping floors) they did, and were assessed for their risk of having a fall.After taking into account factors including age and sex, the team found cognitive scores and attention scores were 8% and 14% higher respectively for older adults doing high amounts of heavy housework, compared with low levels. Sit to stand times were lower for older adults reporting high amounts of heavy housework compared with low amounts, while they were also assessed as being at lower risks of having a fall. The team also found cognitive scores were 5% higher for older adults who reported high levels of light housework, compared with those undertaking low levels of such tasks.Dr Shiou-Liang Wee, an expert in this field, said, “Housework is a purposeful activity performed by many older adults. Independent of entertainment and other work-related physical activity, heavy housework is linked to sharper memory and better fall protection in older adults.”Charlie Foster, a professor of physical activity and public health at the University of Bristol, however, noted that the study only relied on self-reported levels of housework and did not fully take into account other factors which may influence the results.25. Which of the following may be a potential benefit of housework to old adults?A. Curing their chronic diseases.B. Lowering their level of dependence.C. Preventing them from falling and moving.D. Keeping them in good health at any time.26. What can we infer about older adults doing housework?A. Age and sex have little influence on the results.B. Higher amounts of heavy housework help reduce falls.C. Lower levels of light housework reduce sit to stand time.D. The amount of housework completely decides cognitive scores.27. What is Shiou-Liang Wees attitude towards the study?A. Approving.B. Intolerant.C. Doubtful.D. Unclear.28. The passage is probably taken from.A. a guide bookB. a book review C. a health magazineD. a government reportCMost of us control our technology using our fingers and hands. But for years, people with disabilities have used their eyes as a way to control digital interfaces （界面）. Some tablets give disabled people the ability to use the Internet, communicate and even play games using just their eyes as a mouse.Now, researchers are experimenting with ways to bring eye-tracking technology to general users. At a conference last week scholars presented two new methods for able-bodied people to take advantage of a user interface that has mostly stayed within the field of assistive technology.One of the most annoying things about writing is mistakes. Researchers at the university of Auckland and the university of Bath suggest using your gaze （凝视）to fix those little mistakes. First, you look at the wrong word you want to fix. Then you start typing the program called Re-Type, identifies the word youre trying to change based on your gaze and replaces it with whatever you type. Then you just have to press ENTER to continue. It turns your eyeballs into a mouse. The research team has patented Re-Type and wants to turn it into a product.It has been found that developers spend about 35% of their time looking through their code while theyre working. When theyre removing mistakes from a computer program, they spend about 50% of their time looking for informationsomething that slows them down greatly. To solve this problem, Weber and his workmates at media design school in New Zealand and the University of Bath used eye-gaze technology to look into whether using their eyes would save developers time. The researchers found that relying on ones gaze was similar in speed to using a keyboard, though it was slower than using a mouse. However, they also found that when given the choice, most developers chose to use their gaze.Both studies show that eye tracking could be used to increase productivity and ones gaze could become a compliment （补充物）to the mouse or even replace it altogether.29. Why does the author mention disabled people in Paragraph 1?A. To help introduce the topic.B. To call on us to help the disabled.C. To inform us of their different abilities.D. To show their ability to use the technology.30. What do you know about the new method from Paragraph 3?A. You neednt type the word you want.B. It prevents you from making mistakes.C. The patent has benefited general users.D. You can replace the mouse with your gaze.31. What does the underlined part “this problem in Paragraph 4 refer to?A. Consuming time.B. Developing programs.C. Removing mistakes.D. Seeking information.32. What is the main idea of the passage?A. Eye tracking will help the disabled.B. Your eyeballs will work as a mouse.C. The technology will free us of mistakes.D. Assistive technology will determine our future.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。Over the years working as a psychologist, I have found that the following habits seem to be the most important for developing a happier, healthier mind.33 .By nature, most of us are critical of our emotions especially the difficult ones: You feel anxious and afraid and then immediately criticize yourself for being weak. Though something feels bad, it doesnt mean it is bad. 34 When your muscles are painful after a good workout, your pain is a sign of growth and health. Sometimes pain is helpful. By avoiding it or trying to get rid of it, you could be making things worse on yourself.Be realistic with your expectations.When you create an expectation in your head which is really just you imagining the thing you want to be true it relieves some of that anxiety and uncertainty for the time being. But in reality, your expectations are merely fictions in your own mind.Expectations have their place. 35 If you want a calmer and more peaceful mind, get into the habit of checking on your expectations regularly and make sure they arent too far outside of reality.Practice compassion （同情）in your self-talk.36 When youre too negative and particular about yourself you turn normal embarrassment into intense shame; everyday depression into anger; ordinary sadness into desperation. If you want to start being kinder toward yourself, follow The Other Golden Rule:37 The next time you feel bad, imagine that a good friend felt the same way and came to you for support and advice. What would you say to them?A. Acknowledge your emotions.B. Try to avoid painful emotions.C. Negative self-talk worsens your emotions.D. In much of life, pain is actually a good thing.E. Treat yourself like you would treat a good friend.F. But they may run wild and cause negative effects if ignored.G. They teach your brain that your emotions are bad and dangerous.第三部分语言知识运用（共三节，满分 37 5 分） 第一节（共 15 小题；每小题 1 分，满分 15 分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的 A、B、C 和 D 四个选项中，选出可以填入空白 处的最佳选项。In 2001, my wife, Leslie, and I flew to France to host Justice Ginsburg.
