You can choose happiness regardless of your circumstances. You can choose to be happy no matter what challenges life brings you. Let the following simple strategies guide you back to your natural happy state.
Make lemonade when life gives you lemons.
Besides happiness, trouble will also be part of life. It’s how you choose to react to your situations that make the difference. If you look at something hard enough, you’ll see the positive side of it.
Do what you love doing.
Do you have a lifelong dream or desire If so start working towards it. Taking baby steps towards a goal will help you feel like you’re accomplishing something. You’ll find drive and determination to reach that goal when it’s something you love doing.
Use one of your talents.
One reason why so many people are unhappy is that they’re not doing what they’re called to do with their God-given talents. Each of us has a purpose in life. You have natural talents to help you achieve your purpose, so use your talents effectively.
Call a friend who you know is positive and cheerful.
Talk about your feelings and listen to their advice. Usually, people allow themselves to go deeper and deeper into self-depression. The truth is that you don’t have to be sad. You can decide to be happy. You just have to make up your mind to do so.
Gratitude is the quickest cure for sadness.
When you focus on what’s wrong with your life, you forget to look at what’s right and good. Take a step back and reflect on your life. Do you have children or family to be thankful for Yes, they may not be the person we’d like them to be, but imagine life without them. Now, be thankful that you have them in your life.
Let your feelings out on paper.
Often you’ll find that just getting your feelings down on paper will allow you to work through them, helping you feel better about yourself and your beautiful life!

Many people around me make a difference to the world on a daily bas — being kind in unexpected ways and sharing the generosity of their lives with others. I, like many of them, volunteer some of my time in order to give back just a little of what I am so blessed to have. I volunteered to go to Guatemala with an eyeglass team from International Relief Teams — an organization I have supported in other ways for many years.
Our team went to a small town in Guatemala, San Augustin. We set up our tables and packages of pre-made glasses in the dirty courtyard of a clinic, put up the Snellen chart (an eye chart) on a wall, and began our work.
Young and old people came from many of the surrounding towns. Most had never received an eye exam before. They waited for hours patiently in the sun, never complaining. If we could help them out, their thankfulness for a simple pair of glasses was overwhelming. Some only left with eye drops or sunglasses, and even these people expressed their gratitude sincerely. All of them were very generous with blessings and smiles. We heard over and over from people who knew their eyes needed help but they had not gone to a doctor because it was too expensive, or had not got the glasses they needed for the same reason.
It’s so easy to overlook how much difference the volunteers’ small actions can make to the lives of people in Guatemala. The glasses in my country are so easily available, but to people in Guatemala, they are not.
As those who could give them a hand, we watched their lives change. What a gift sight is — and what a difference being able to see clearly makes! Here, we’d like you to join us and take action to help people in need. And every day, those actions change lives. No action is too small; no action is ever wasted.
36. According to Paragraph 1, the author is probably ________.
A. a major host of good deeds
B. a sponsor of an eyeglass team
C. a generous neighbor in his community
D. a supporter of International Relief Teams
37. What do we know about the volunteers in the eyeglass team
A. Their working environment is simple.
B. They are medical experts nationwide.
C. Their initial preparation is inadequate.
D. They have served people in Guatemala for years.
38. Which of the following words can be used to describe most people in Guatemala
A. Kind and helpful. B. Poor but grateful.
C. Considerate and patient. D. Knowledgeable but unhealthy.
39. What can we infer from Paragraph 4
A. Rome was not built in a day.
B. Actions speak louder than words.
C. Don’t look down upon those less fortunate.
D. Don’t take what you have today for granted.
40. What is the author’s purpose in writing the passage
A. To urge people to protect their eyes.
B. To ask people to volunteer in Guatemala.
C. To call on people to do good deeds in daily life.
D. To show the difficult life of people in Guatemala.
【答案】36. D 37. A 38. B 39. D 40. C
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者志愿加入国际救援小组的眼镜队，团结队友去帮助别人，为世界贡献出自己的一份力量并号召人们在日常生活中也做好事。
【36题详解】
推理判断题。由第一段的I volunteered to go to Guatemala with an eyeglass team from International Relief Teams — an organization I have supported in other ways for many years.(我自愿和国际救援队的眼镜队一起去危地马拉，多年来我一直以其他方式支持这个组织)可知，作者是国际救援队的支持者。故选D项。
【37题详解】
推理判断题。由第二段的We set up our tables and packages of pre made glasses in the dirty courtyard of a clinic, put up the Snellen chart (an eye chart) on a wall, and began our work.(我们在一家诊所脏兮兮的院子里摆好桌子和一包事先准备好的眼镜，把斯内伦图（一个视力检查表）挂在墙上，开始工作)可推断出，眼镜队志愿者的工作环境很简陋。故选A项。
【38题详解】
推理判断题。由第三段的Some only left with eye drops or sunglasses, and even these people expressed their gratitude sincerely.(有些人只留下了眼药水或太阳镜，甚至这些人也真诚地表达了他们的感激之情)和第三段的最后一句We heard over and over from people who knew their eyes needed help but they had not gone to a doctor because it was too expensive, or had not got the glasses they needed for the same reason.(我们一遍又一遍地从那些知道眼睛需要帮助的人那里听到消息，但他们没有去看医生，因为太贵了，或者因为同样的原因没有得到他们需要的眼镜)可推断出，Guatemala的人虽贫穷但很感恩。故选B项。
【39题详解】
推理判断题。由第四段的It’s so easy to overlook how much difference the volunteers’ small actions can make to the lives of people in Guatemala. The glasses in my country are so easily available, but to people in Guatemala, they are not.(人们很容易忽视志愿者的小行动对危地马拉人民生活的影响。我国的眼镜很容易买到，但对危地马拉人来说，不是)可知，不是人人都能有眼镜，由此推断出“不要把你今天所拥有的视为理所当然”。故选D项。
【40题详解】
推理判断题。由最后一段的Here, we’d like you to join us and take action to help people in need.(在这里，我们希望你加入我们，采取行动帮助有需要的人)可推断出，作者写这篇文章的目的是号召人们在日常生活中做好事。故选C项。
【点睛】推理判断题不仅要求考生读懂文章中的每个句子的意思还要推理它们之间的关系，结合自己的生活常识和经验，再通过逻辑推理和判断，理解文章的言外之意，从而揭示文章的深层涵义。推理判断题的答案不可能在文章中直接找到，因此推理时我们务必要忠于原文，在文章中寻找并确定可推论的依据，即：已知部分——推论的前提，从中推测出未知部分——推理的结论，切忌妄加评论，把自己的观点当成作者的观点。如在第5小题中，最后一段的Here, we’d like you to join us and take action to help people in need.是已知部分，通过结合原文进行合理地逻辑判断，可以得出作者写这篇文章的目的是号召人们在日常生活中做好事。故选C项。
C
Many parents worry that showing negative emotions in front of their children will cause them to suffer. For example, children may end up thinking it's their fault or simply "catch" the emotion. Indeed, this worry has a sound basis — the phenomenon of “emotional contagion"（情绪感染）is real, and one recent study found that parents can transfer their fear of going to the dentist, for example, to their children.
On the other hand, there is the natural idea that we should “be real" with our children, and that they will benefit from watching a parent who struggles and eventually deals with their negative emotions like any other human being.
There are three concepts to consider when it comes to emotional display in front of children: suppression （压抑），"uncontained" expression, and talking about emotions. Suppression of emotion is when you hide the outward signs of an emotion. Unfortunately, it doesn't work very well — the act of suppressing your emotion actually increases your blood pressure. Observers can pick up on your distress despite your efforts to hide it, making them feel stressed. The recent research has also found that when parents feel negative emotions and keep them from their children, they experience lower relationship quality and decreased responsiveness to their child's needs.
On the other hand, “uncontained" expression of anger and sadness by the parent is also not salutary for the child. Uncontained means high intensity emotion, with no attempts to regulate or take ownership of it. Shouting, smashing （摔）things and blaming someone else for "making you angry" are all example of this .
So, what is the middle ground That would be talking about emotion taking ownership of them and showing your child that you are trying to deal with them. Classic research found that six-year-old kids had better emotional understanding and perspective-taking skills if their mothers had talked to them about their emotions at the age of three. In fact, the more the mothers had talked, the better the outcome would be.
So next time you feel sad, angry or frustrated and your child is watching you expressing emotion, do explain what's going on in terms they can understand.
41. The author uses the example of going to the dentist mainly to _______.
A. explain parents' common fear
B. introduce the topic of negative emotions
C. show children may catch parents' emotions
D. present the consequences of transferring negative emotions
42. If a mother suppresses （(压抑)）her emotions, .
A. she will not make her kids feel stressed
B. she can hide her emotions from her kids
C. she will often shout at her kids for no reasons
D. she can't respond effectively to her kids' needs
43. What does the underlined word "salutary" in Paragraph 4 probably mean
A Enough. B. Beneficial.
C. Necessary. D. Reliable.
44. What is the author's intention of writing this text
A. To encourage parents to "be real" with our children.
B. To call on parents to develop a positive attitude to life.
C. To inform parents of the consequences of negative emotions.
D. To recommend parents to talk about negative emotions with children.
45. What's the structure of the text
A. B.
C. D.
【答案】41. C 42. D 43. B 44. D 45. B
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇说明文。文章讲述了许多父母担心在孩子面前表现出负面情绪会让孩子痛苦。研究表明这种担忧——“情绪传染”现象是真实存在的。但是父母应该真实地对待孩子，孩子可以处理这种负面情绪。
【41题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段的Indeed, this worry has a sound basis — the phenomenon of “emotional contagion"（情绪感染）is real, and one recent study found that parents can transfer their fear of going to the dentist, for example, to their children.( 事实上，这种担心有坚实的基础——“情绪传染”现象是真实的，最近的一项研究发现，例如，父母可以把他们去看牙医的恐惧转移给孩子。)可推断，作者使用看牙医的例子是为了说明孩子可以感染父母的情绪。故选C。
42题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段的Suppression of emotion is when you hide the outward signs of an emotion. Unfortunately, it doesn't work very well — the act of suppressing your emotion actually increases your blood pressure. (抑制情绪是你隐藏情绪的外在迹象的时候，不幸的是，它不能很好地起作用——抑制你的情绪实际上会增加你的血压。)可推断，如果一个母亲压抑她的情绪，她就不能有效地对孩子的需求做出反应。故选D。
【43题详解】
词句猜测题。根据下文Uncontained means high intensity emotion, with no attempts to regulate or take ownership of it. Shouting, smashing （摔）things and blaming someone else for "making you angry" are all example of this .( 不包含意味着强烈的情绪，没有试图调整或拥有它。 喊，砸东西和指责别人“让你生气”都是这方面的例子。)可推断，划线句表示：父母“不受约束”地表达愤怒和悲伤对孩子无益的。故划线词词义是：受益的。故选B。
【44题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段So next time you feel sad, angry or frustrated and your child is watching you expressing emotion, do explain what's going on in terms they can understand.
(因此，下次当你感到悲伤、愤怒或沮丧，而你的孩子正在看着你表达情感时，请用他们能理解的术语解释发生了什么。)可推断，作者写这篇文章的目的是推荐家长与孩子谈论负面情绪。故选D。
【45题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文可知，一、二段阐述最近的一项研究发现，父母可以把他们的情绪转移给孩子。三、四、五段阐述父母的情绪对孩子的影响，与孩子谈论情绪，找到中间地带；最后一段提出建议。故选B。
【点睛】在阅读中我们经常会考查猜测词义或句意题。事实上，阅读材料中的每个词与它前后的词语或句子甚至段落都有联系。运用逻辑推理猜测词义或句意是使用最广考查最多也最易失分的猜词方式，这要求考生具备整合分散、复杂信息的能力，充分利用上下文（各种已知信息）并结合具体的语境推测、判断某些词或短语的词义。例如第3小题。根据下文Uncontained means high intensity emotion, with no attempts to regulate or take ownership of it. Shouting, smashing （摔）things and blaming someone else for "making you angry" are all example of this .( 不包含意味着强烈的情绪，没有试图调整或拥有它。 喊，砸东西和指责别人“让你生气”都是这方面的例子。)可推断，划线句表示：父母“不受约束”地表达愤怒和悲伤对孩子无益的。故划线词词义是：受益的。故选B。

Growing up in Saudi Arabia, 44-year-old photographer Jody MacDonald has always had a strong interest in the desert. “I have always wanted to spend some time in the Sahara,” MacDonald said. “There are still so many unexplored areas in the Sahara Desert. These relatively unexplored places are so rare these days and hold the very fundamentals of exploration, which attract me. So finally I made the journey.” MacDonald started her journey in Mauritania’s capital city Nouakchott, and headed inland where she and her team jumped on the world’s longest cargo train (货运列车) for a 435-mile journey on the Mauritania Railway. “The train was dirty and uncomfortable but it was such an interesting and unique way to travel through the vast desert by train,” said MacDonald.
MacDonald and her group had to face many challenges on their journey. Except for the dirt and discomfort, the travelers also had to deal with the intense heat, violent winds and even dangerous sandstorms. “I was out taking photographs and within minutes, the wind increased to more than 100 miles an hour,” MacDonald said. “I thought my skin was going to be torn off because of the rain and blowing sand. It felt like sandpaper on my skin. I have never experienced winds that strong before. There was once a time when I wanted to give up.”
She dealt with the harsh (恶劣的) conditions by trying not to travel in the middle of the day and wore headscarves to protect herself from the sun and blowing sand. “The weather definitely dictates when and where you travel,” said MacDonald. Even with all the challenges, the photographer managed to record amazing images of the beautiful but harsh landscapes of Mauritania, and its fascinating cultures and communities.
46. Why did MacDonald tour the Sahara (no more than 10 words)
47. How did MacDonald feel on the cargo train (no more than 5 words)
48. Why did MacDonald once decide to give up her journey (no more than 10 words)
49. What does the underlined word in the last paragraph mean (1 word)
50. How does MacDonald’s story inspire you in life Please explain. (no more than 20 words)
【答案】46. Because many unexplored places in the Sahara Desert attracted her.
47. She felt dirty and uncomfortable.
48. Because the weather conditions are harsh.
49. Decides/Determines.
50. MacDonald’spirit of bravely overcoming difficulties inspires me. I will face the difficulties in life and manage to overcome them.
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了摄影师MacDonald克服各种挑战，实现了自己探索撒哈拉沙漠的梦想。
【46题详解】
考查细节理解。根据第一段中“There are still so many unexplored areas in the Sahara Desert. These relatively unexplored places are so rare these days and hold the very fundamentals of exploration, which attract me. So finally I made the journey.(撒哈拉沙漠还有很多未开发的地区。这些相对未被探索的地方如今是如此罕见，并且蕴含着探索的基本原理，这吸引了我。所以我终于踏上了旅程。)”可知，撒哈拉沙漠有很多未被探索的地方，这吸引着MacDonald，所以她要去撒哈拉沙漠旅行，故答案为Because many unexplored areas in the Sahara Desert attracted her.
【47题详解】
考查细节理解。根据第一段中““The train was dirty and uncomfortable(火车既脏又不舒服)”可知，MacDonald感觉火车很脏而且还很不舒服，故答案为She felt dirty and uncomfortable.
【48题详解】
考查细节理解。根据第二段中““I thought my skin was going to be torn off because of the rain and blowing sand. It felt like sandpaper on my skin. I have never experienced winds that strong before. There was once a time when I wanted to give up.”(“我以为我的皮肤会因为下雨和吹沙子而被扯掉，感觉就像砂纸在我的皮肤上摩擦一样。我从来没有经历过这么大的风。曾经有一段时间，我想要放弃。”)”可知，恶劣的天气使作者曾经想放弃她的旅程，故答案为Because the weather conditions are harsh.
【49题详解】
考查词义猜测。根据划线单词上文“She dealt with the harsh (恶劣的) conditions by trying not to travel in the middle of the day and wore headscarves to protect herself from the sun and blowing sand.(为了应对恶劣的环境，她尽量不在中午出门，并戴上头巾以防太阳和风沙侵袭。)”可知，恶劣的天气环境决定了她们的出行时间，结合画线单词上下文““The weather definitely dictates when and where you travel,” said MacDonald(MacDonald说:“天气肯定会......你旅行的时间和地点。”)”可知，划线单词“dictates”意思为“决定”，故答案为Decide/Determine.
【50题详解】
开放题，答案不唯一，言之有理即可。通读全文，尤其是最后一段中“Even with all the challenges, the photographer managed to record amazing images of the beautiful but harsh landscapes of Mauritania, and its fascinating cultures and communities.(尽管面临种种挑战，摄影师还设法拍下了毛里塔尼亚美丽而严酷的风景，以及迷人的文化和社区。)”可知，文章主要讲述了摄影师MacDonald克服各种挑战，实现了自己探索撒哈拉沙漠的梦想，她这种不畏艰难，勇往直前的精神鼓舞着我们在学习和生活上也要勇敢面对困难，想办法去解决，最终实现自己的梦想。故答案为：MacDonald’spirit of bravely overcoming difficulties inspires me. I will face the difficulties in life and manage to overcome them.

【答案】Ladies and gentlemen,
Good afternoon! I am Li Hua from Xingguang Middle School. The topic of my speech is “Action for Green Earth”. As we all know, the earth we live on is facing the most serious environmental problems we have never seen before. For example, due to the excessive exploitation and destruction of human beings, the amount of vegetation is constantly reduced, and the biodiversity is threatened. The expansion of arable land has led to the drastic reduction of wildlife habitat, and many animals are endangered.
First of all, I think we should set up nature reserves for wild animals to ensure the living environment for wild animals. Secondly, we should advocate green travel, which can reduce carbon emission, so as to build a beautiful and green planet. Finally, I appeal that we should start from the small things around, reduce and avoid waste, to create a good ecological environment.
That’s all. Thank you!

You can choose happiness regardless of your circumstances. You can choose to be happy no matter what challenges life brings you. Let the following simple strategies guide you back to your natural happy state.
Make lemonade when life gives you lemons.
Besides happiness, trouble will also be part of life. It’s how you choose to react to your situations that make the difference. If you look at something hard enough, you’ll see the positive side of it.
Do what you love doing.
Do you have a lifelong dream or desire If so, start working towards it. Taking baby steps towards a goal will help you feel like you’re accomplishing something. You’ll find drive and determination to reach that goal when it’s something you love doing.
Use one of your talents.
One reason why so many people are unhappy is that they’re not doing what they’re called to do with their God-given talents. Each of us has a purpose in life. You have natural talents to help you achieve your purpose, so use your talents effectively.
Call a friend who you know is positive and cheerful.
Talk about your feelings and listen to their advice. Usually, people allow themselves to go deeper and deeper into self-depression. The truth is that you don’t have to be sad. You can decide to be happy. You just have to make up your mind to do so.
Gratitude is the quickest cure for sadness.
When you focus on what’s wrong with your life, you forget to look at what’s right and good. Take a step back and reflect on your life. Do you have children or family to be thankful for Yes, they may not be the person we’d like them to be, but imagine life without them. Now, be thankful that you have them in your life.
Let your feelings out on paper.
Often you’ll find that just getting your feelings down on paper will allow you to work through them, helping you feel better about yourself and your beautiful life!

Many people around me make a difference to the world on a daily bas — being kind in unexpected ways and sharing the generosity of their lives with others. I, like many of them, volunteer some of my time in order to give back just a little of what I am so blessed to have. I volunteered to go to Guatemala with an eyeglass team from International Relief Teams — an organization I have supported in other ways for many years.
Our team went to a small town in Guatemala, San Augustin. We set up our tables and packages of pre-made glasses in the dirty courtyard of a clinic, put up the Snellen chart (an eye chart) on a wall, and began our work.
Young and old people came from many of the surrounding towns. Most had never received an eye exam before. They waited for hours patiently in the sun, never complaining. If we could help them out, their thankfulness for a simple pair of glasses was overwhelming. Some only left with eye drops or sunglasses, and even these people expressed their gratitude sincerely. All of them were very generous with blessings and smiles. We heard over and over from people who knew their eyes needed help but they had not gone to a doctor because it was too expensive, or had not got the glasses they needed for the same reason.
It’s so easy to overlook how much difference the volunteers’ small actions can make to the lives of people in Guatemala. The glasses in my country are so easily available, but to people in Guatemala, they are not.
As those who could give them a hand, we watched their lives change. What a gift sight is — and what a difference being able to see clearly makes! Here, we’d like you to join us and take action to help people in need. And every day, those actions change lives. No action is too small; no action is ever wasted.
36. According to Paragraph 1, the author is probably ________.
A. a major host of good deeds
B. a sponsor of an eyeglass team
C. a generous neighbor in his community
D. a supporter of International Relief Teams
37. What do we know about the volunteers in the eyeglass team
A. Their working environment is simple.
B. They are medical experts nationwide.
C. Their initial preparation is inadequate.
D. They have served people in Guatemala for years.
38. Which of the following words can be used to describe most people in Guatemala
A. Kind and helpful. B. Poor but grateful.
C. Considerate and patient. D. Knowledgeable but unhealthy.
39. What can we infer from Paragraph 4
A. Rome was not built in a day.
B. Actions speak louder than words.
C. Don’t look down upon those less fortunate.
D. Don’t take what you have today for granted.
40. What is the author’s purpose in writing the passage
A. To urge people to protect their eyes.
B. To ask people to volunteer in Guatemala.
C. To call on people to do good deeds in daily life.
D. To show the difficult life of people in Guatemala.
C
Many parents worry that showing negative emotions in front of their children will cause them to suffer. For example children may end up thinking it's their fault or simply "catch" the emotion. Indeed, this worry has a sound basis — the phenomenon of “emotional contagion"（情绪感染）is real, and one recent study found that parents can transfer their fear of going to the dentist, for example, to their children.
On the other hand, there is the natural idea that we should “be real" with our children, and that they will benefit from watching a parent who struggles and eventually deals with their negative emotions like any other human being.
There are three concepts to consider when it comes to emotional display in front of children: suppression （压抑），"uncontained" expression, and talking about emotions. Suppression of emotion is when you hide the outward signs of an emotion. Unfortunately, it doesn't work very well — the act of suppressing your emotion actually increases your blood pressure. Observers can pick up on your distress despite your efforts to hide it, making them feel stressed. The recent research has also found that when parents feel negative emotions and keep them from their children, they experience lower relationship quality and decreased responsiveness to their child's needs.
On the other hand, “uncontained" expression of anger and sadness by the parent is also not salutary for the child. Uncontained means high intensity emotion, with no attempts to regulate or take ownership of it. Shouting, smashing （摔）things and blaming someone else for "making you angry" are all example of this .
So, what is the middle ground That would be talking about emotion taking ownership of them and showing your child that you are trying to deal with them. Classic research found that six-year-old kids had better emotional understanding and perspective-taking skills if their mothers had talked to them about their emotions at the age of three. In fact, the more the mothers had talked, the better the outcome would be.
So next time you feel sad, angry or frustrated and your child is watching you expressing emotion, do explain what's going on in terms they can understand.

Growing up in Saudi Arabia, 44-year-old photographer Jody MacDonald has always had a strong interest in the desert. “I have always wanted to spend some time in the Sahara,” MacDonald said. “There are still so many unexplored areas in the Sahara Desert. These relatively unexplored places are so rare these days and hold the very fundamentals of exploration, which attract me. So finally I made the journey.” MacDonald started her journey in Mauritania’s capital city Nouakchott, and headed inland where she and her team jumped on the world’s longest cargo train (货运列车) for a 435-mile journey on the Mauritania Railway. “The train was dirty and uncomfortable but it was such an interesting and unique way to travel through the vast desert by train,” said MacDonald.
MacDonald and her group had to face many challenges on their journey. Except for the dirt and discomfort, the travelers also had to deal with the intense heat, violent winds and even dangerous sandstorms. “I was out taking photographs and within minutes, the wind increased to more than 100 miles an hour,” MacDonald said. “I thought my skin was going to be torn off because of the rain and blowing sand. It felt like sandpaper on my skin. I have never experienced winds that strong before. There was once a time when I wanted to give up.”
She dealt with the harsh (恶劣的) conditions by trying not to travel in the middle of the day and wore headscarves to protect herself from the sun and blowing sand. “The weather definitely dictates when and where you travel,” said MacDonald. Even with all the challenges, the photographer managed to record amazing images of the beautiful but harsh landscapes of Mauritania, and its fascinating cultures and communities.
