Our brains have developed in this way because threats, like dangerous animals, have a more immediate effect on people’s survival compared to positive things like food or shelter. As a result, you clearly know what makes you unhappy, but do you know what makes you happy?Research suggests that our level of happiness is partly shaped by the choices we make. If you’ve been chasing wealth, fame, power and some material things, you may be looking for happiness in the wrong places. Psychologists suggest that the following habits can make people happier.People who own close relationships tend to be happier than those who do not. The number of our friends is not important. What matters is the quality of our relationships. Relationships that bring happiness usually consist of the sharing of feelings, acceptance, mutual (双方的) respect and trust.People who exercise regularly can improve both their physical and mental well-being. Some research has shown that exercise can be as effective as some medicine in treating depression.If we are so interested in an activity, we may lose track of time, and we can be in a state of flow. The activity could be playing the piano, surfing the Internet or playing a game… people who experience flow in th eir work or life tend to be happier.People are more likely to be happy if they know what their strengths are and can use them regularly. People are especially happy when they can set goals and use their strengths to achieve them.People, who think positively by being grateful, mindful and optimistic, are more likely to be happy. Being grateful means being thankful. Being mindful means considering, focusing on, and enjoying the experiences of the present moment. Being optimistic means being hopeful about the future.10. Human brains remembers negative things more easily because negative things _______.A. tend to affect human survival immediatelyB. are easy to rememberC. are much more important than other thingsD. can make people live much happier11. According to this passage, people may find happiness in ________.A. being famousB. chasing powerC. setting life goalsD. earning money12. In the last paragraph, the author tries to tell us to _________.A. think more about our futureB. be positive in our life and workC. focus on everything in our lifeD. only enjoy the present moment13. What does the passage mainly want to tell us?A. Why people remember positive things easily.B. Why people remember negative things easily.C. What makes people happy.D. What makes people sad.DAmerican English began in the 17th century. At the beginning of the 17th century, the English language was brought to North America by colonists (殖民者) from England. They used the language spoken in England, that is, Elizabethan English, the language used by Shakespeare.In order to exploit (开发) new resources in America, British colonists settled down there and from 1607 to 1732 set up thirteen colonies. In these thirteen areas, English was a common language used by all people. They continued to speak as they had done in England.As time went by, the English language gradually changed on both sides of the Atlantic Ocean. Foreigners longing for wealth set food on the coastal area to trade. The Americans adopted many words from foreign languages and invented lots of newwords to meet their commercial (贸易的) needs.Following American Independence, famous people like Thomas Jefferson, the president, began to consider that the country should have a language of its own. Noah Webster compile (编纂) three elementary books on English. Later, he expressed the idea that as an independent nation, America should have a system of its own in language as well as in government. After the second half of the 19th century, many great writers such as Mark Twain helped the development of American English.English in America has developed a character of its own, showing the life and the physical and social environment of the American people. Since the rise of the United States to a position of world importance, American English will enrich the English language greatly. With the rapid development of modern mass media and the common needs of economic, cultural and political exchanges, American English will be more widely used in the world than British English.14. What can we infer from paragraph 3?A. People from the seaside were more willing to learn English.B. The English language changed as a result of inner culture shock.C. New words occurred in American English as result of local invention.D. International business and trade contributed to the development of American English.15. What do we know about American English according to the passage?A. It came into being at the end of the 17th century.B. It hardly makes contributions to the development of English.C. Its development has a close relationship with American people’s life.D. It has been more widely used than British English from the beginning.II. 完型填空(共20小题;每小题2分,满分40分)I had just started my second year studying at Cambridge University when I was faced with the news I had never expected.

Talent increases and time decreases. Our life, in a way, is trading time with talents. Wasting time means our time decreases while our talents do not increase. 1.●Get to know how you use your usual time and make improvementsTake a week and write down what you do every 30 minutes every day and make it into categories. After a week’s recording, you’ll see which part consumes most of the time. 2. And you could come up with a revised timetable for your next week.●Use fragment(碎片) time and “dead time”By time recording, you’ll be amazed how much time you’ve wasted in waiting for the bus, queuing, walking, etc. You could really put that time to better use, 3. Use your fragment time for insignificant matters so that you could have more time for things that really matter.●4There’re al ways things to be done every day, and the thing we could do is to identify whether they’re urgent or important. The things you need to do for the dayrest only on the urgent as well as important things. Don’t become slaves to urgent but unimportant things.●Use the 20%-80% principleAt the most efficient time,20% of time could generate 80% of efficiency and on the contrary, at the least efficient time, 80% of time could only generate 20% of efficiency. We should be doing important work at the most efficient time.

2018---2019学年高二年级第十五次双周考英语试卷第二部分阅读理解(共两节,满分40分)第一节(共15小题;每小题2分,满分30分)阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该选项涂黑。
AHave you ever thought about why malls, restaurants, and even theaters have music? Well, to understand this, you simply just look back at how you felt when you heard music in these places. Music is known to improve the mood of people. Often music helps us pay attention to what we are doing. Music helps patients feel good and helps them recover faster and better.Depression is a state of mind that most of us experience at some point of time. There are some periods in our life when everything seems difficult. It seems that everything is getting worse and we have no control over our life. Studies have shown that music can be an important mood lifter in such situations. Music also plays a great role in making us feel less nervous or worried. Anxiety can often cause loss of sleep and other illnesses.Music is often known as an international language. We may not know the language another person is speaking, but most of us respond to music in the same way. Music can often be the best way to connect with someone.Music is one of the best ways to improve your moods, but this can depend largely on the kind of music you listen to. While happy music can certainly make you feel better, sad music can further lower your spirits. Listening to classical music can often make you feel a lot more powerful, while soft music can be the perfect way to relax at the end of a long way. If you want to use music to change the way how you are feeling, you need to understand the role of it, learn to recognize the kind of music that lifts your mood and helps you feel better. Once you realize the kind of music you can use, you can use it to change the way you feel. The right kind of music can be the perfect way to help us feel happier.21.The passage is mainly about __________.A.what meanings music hasB. how we control our moodsC. how music affects our moodsD. what kind of music we listen to22.According to the passage, playing music in restaurants is to __________.A. welcome the customersB. make customers feel goodC. make customers danceD. make customers feel powerful23. From the passage, we can know that __________.A. most of us suffer depression all the timeB. most of us respond to music in different waysC. music can be a good way to connect with othersD. any kind of music will help us improve our moods24. According to the passage, which kind of music can relax ourselves from a long day’s work?A. Soft music.B. Classical music.C. Sad music.D. Rock music.BDid you know that something as simple as the wallpaper on your computer can tell people a lot about you? According to researcher Donna Dawson, our computers say something about what we're like because they are part of our “personal space.”A picture of a child or family on the screen often means the person cares deeply about their loved ones. A photo of the person surrounded by friends shows they value their popularity and probably work well with other people. On the other hand, pictures showing examples of past successes, like winning a prize may mean a person is only interested in themselves.Pictures of nature and natural scenery tell people that you are driven to succeed and use the pictures to relax and remove the pressure in your life. Cityscapes, pictures of cities or towns, show that you enjoy travel and adventure. Most people with cityscapes as their wallpaper are optimistic and happy people who feel even better thinking about the places they’ve visited or they want to visit.Pictures of animals show that you are optimistic and kind-hearted. You are often happy and you enjoy life and act young. Cartoons or drawings show that you are a multitasker, someone who does many things at once. You have many responsibilities, but you deal with them well. That's one reason you like having something to smile about when you look at your computer wallpaper.Then, what does plain blue wallpaper tell us about a person? According to Dawson, a person with plain blue wallpaper probably values their privacy and keeps work from becoming too personal.25.A prize photo as wallpaper suggests someone_______.A. has a strong wish to succeedB. is confident about himself or herselfC. cares only about himself or herselfD. works very well with others26. Those who look on the bright side of things are likely to have wallpaper like_______.A. pictures of nature and natural sceneryB. city views or pictures of animalsC. pictures showing their past successesD. photos of staying with friends27. What can be the best title for the text?A. Where to Look for Your Computer WallpaperB. Computer Wallpaper Shows Your PersonalityC. How to Place Wallpaper on Your ComputerD. Computer Wallpaper Interests EveryoneCIf you are human, you can’t help but experience times when everything seems to be going wrong and you feel as if your life is completely out of control. It is during those “down times”that words of encouragement from family, friends, co-workers or even strangers can lighten your spirits. It is also during those times that destructive words can sink you deeper and deeper into depression.For example, consider this story about a group of frogs who were traveling through the woods when two of them fell into a deep pit(坑). All of the other frogs gathered around the pit. When they saw how deep the pit was, they told the two unfortunate frogs they would never get out.The two frogs ignored the comments and tried to jump out of the pit. The other frogs kept telling them to stop. Finally, one of the frogs took heed of what the other frogs were saying and simply gave up. He fell down and died. The other frog continued to jump as hard as he could. Once again the crowd of frogs shouted at him to stop the pain. The more they shouted, the harder he jumped and finally he made it to safety.When he got out, the other frogs asked him why he continued to jump when theywere all shouting at him to simply quit. The frog explained to them that he was a little bit deaf. He thought they were encouraging him the entire time.Every time you have a chance to say either something positive or negative to another human being, do choose the chance to say something positive! Don’t let those opportunities get away from you. Your words have a large amount of power. Use them wisely. You really never know just how much they can mean to someone else.28.The first paragraph tells us that words play an important part especially when _______.A.we stay with our family, friends and co-workersB. we hear strangers say something to usC. we get through hard times in lifeD. we make some big mistakes29.The underlined phrase “took heed of”has the similar meaning with “_____.”A.acted according toB. had some doubtC. held on toD. got used to30.The more they shouted, the harder he jumped and finally he made it to safety. That’s because_________.A.he struggled to prove that they were wrongB.he thought they were encouraging himC.he was angry with what they saidD.he didn’t want to let them down31.After reading the passage, readers should learn a lesson that _________.A.we can use encouraging words to help others outB.having a positive attitude is important in lifeC.never give up until we winD.we must believe in ourselves rather than othersDRobert Taylor, who was helpful in creating the Internet and the modern personal computer, has died. He was 85.“Any way you look at it, from kick-starting the Internet to launching the personal computer revolution, Bob Taylor was a key architect of our modern world,”Leslie Berlin, a historian at the Stanford University Silicon Valley Archives project, told the New York Times.In 1961, Taylor was a project manager for Nasa when he directed funding toDouglas Engelbart at the Stanford Research Institute, who helped develop the modern computer mouse. Taylor was working for the Pentagon’s Advanced Research Projects Agency (Arpa) in 1966 when he instructed the creation of a single computer network to link Arpa-sponsored researchers at companies and institutions around the country. Taylor was frustrated that he had to use three separate terminals to communicate with the researchers through their computer systems.A few years later, Taylor went on to work at Xerox’s famous Palo Alto Research Center(Parc), where he shepherded a team that helped create the Alto, a pioneering personal computer, which supplied each researcher with an individual workstation instead of sharing time on a room-sized mainframe(主机). It was designed to use a graphical interface, which enabled the user to command the device through icons, windows and menus instead of typing text commands in computer language. The technology inspired Microsoft’s Windows software and the Apple computers.In the 1990s, Taylor ran the Systems Research Center in Palo Alto for Digital Equipment Corporation. The lab helped create Alta Vista, one of the first internet search engines. Taylor retired in 1996.In 1999, Taylor was awarded the National Medal of Technology and Innovation. In 2004, he and other Parc researchers were awarded the Draper prize from the National Academy of Engineering for development of “the first practical networked personal computers”.32.When was the creation of a single computer network produced?A.In 1961.B. In 1966.C. In 2004.D. In 1996.33.What can we infer about Alto from paragraph 4?A.It is a leading personal computer.B.It is designed to use a special menu.C.It has many advantages in personal computer.D.It provides each researcher with an individual workstation.34.Which of the following can replace the underlined word “shepherded” in Paragraph 4?A.Guided.B. Undertook.C. Developed.D. Motivated.35.What may be the best title for the text?A.The Life of Robert Taylor.B.The Achievements of Robert Taylor.C.Robert Taylor: An Internet and Computer Pioneer.D.Robert Taylor’s Contributions to Personal Computer.笫二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)根据短文内容,从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。

He never studied the piano. However, he can play very difficult musical pieces by musicians such as Chopin and Beethoven just a few minutes after he hears them. He learns a piece of music by listening to it in parts. Then he thinks about the notes in his head. Two years ago, he played his first piece Moonlight Sonata by Beethoven. He surprised everyone around him.Amazed that he remembered this long and difficult piece of music and played it perfectly, his teachers say Samuel is unbelievable .They say his ability is very rare, but Samuel doesn’t even realize that what he can do is special. Samuel wanted to become a lawyer as it was the wish of his parents, but music teachers told him he should study music instead. Now, he studies law and music.Samuel can’t understand why everyone is so surprised. “I grew up with music. My mother played the piano and my father played the guitar. About two years ago, I suddenly decided to start playing the piano, without being able to read music and without having any lessons. It comes easily to me ---I h ear the notes and can bear them in mind---each and every note,”says Samuel.Recently, Samuel performed a piece during a special event at his college. The piece had more than a thousand notes. The audience was impressed by his amazing performance. He is now learning a piece that is so difficult that many professional pianists can’t play it. Samuel says confidently,”It’s all about super memory---I guessI have that gift.”However, Samuel’s ability to remember things doesn’t stop with music. His family says that even when he was a young boy, Samuel heard someone read a story, and then he could retell the story word for word.Samuel is still only a teenager. He doesn’t know what he wants to do in the future. For now, he is just happy to play beautiful music and continue his studies.21.What is special about Samuel Osmond?A. He has a gift for writing music.B. He can write down the note he hears.C. He is a top student at the law school.D. He can play the musical piece he hears.22.What ca n we learn from Paragraph 2?A. Samuel chose law against the wish of his parents.B. Samuel planned to be a lawyer rather than a musician.C. Samuel thinks of himself as a man of great musical ability.D.

"I really try to do something lighthearted, something whimsical, that is, something everyone can connect with and maybe not see every day in the real world," Hartman said.She designs all of the window displays by hand, starting with pencil sketches, then illustrating the designs on her computer and sending parts of the drawings to be printed. From there, Hartman works with a team of five people to build the displays, creating, sewing and embellishing(润色)many elements by hand.However, a challenge Hartman has faced over the years as she has designed the displays is making sure all of the measurements are right for elements to fit inside the windows."When I was in college, I was an art major, and I thought, 'I don't need math. I will never use it. I'm an artist,' and guess what, it's the most important thing that I use," Hartman said. "If I don't get that right, then the windows don't fit, the pieces don't come together and it just doesn't work out."The holiday window stroll gives Hartman a unique opportunity to hear feedback from those who observe her creations, which is something she doesn't always get to experience with her other artworks. She said it's fun to hear people's reactions as they go through the holiday window stroll. "It just makes me happy that I can kind of set the tone for people's holiday season and just maybe bring a smile to their face," Hartman said.(1)Which of the following can replace the underlined word "whimsical" in Paragraph 2?A.Serious.B.Exciting.C.Unusual.D.Ordinary.(2)What challenges Hartman most in designing the displays?A.The pattern.B.The fit.C.The colour.D.The teamwork.(3)What does Hartman think about math now?A.She values it very much.B.She still thinks it's useless.C.It is a piece of cake for her.D.It's not suitable for her to learn.(4)Why is the holiday window stroll unique for Hartman?A.It just can make her happy.B.She has a chance to create by hand.C.It can help improve her other artworks.D.She can get some remarks from the viewers.3.Nowadays there is less and less contact between the old and the young. There are many reasons for this, but the result is the same: increasing numbers of children without grandparents and old people who have no contact with children. And more old people who are lonely and feel useless, along with more and more families with young children who desperately need more support. It's a major problem in many societies.That's why inter-generational programmes, designed to bring the old and the young together, are growing in popularity all over the world, supported by UNESCO and other local and international organizations. There are examples of successful initiatives all over the world. Using young people to teach IT skills to older people is one obvious example. Using old people as volunteer assistants in schools is another, perhaps reading with children who need extra attention.One successful scheme in France is combining a residential home for the elderly with a nursery school in the same building. The children and the residents eat lunch together and share activities such as music, painting, gardening and caring for the pets which the residents are encouraged to keep. In the afternoons, the residents enjoy reading or telling stones to the children and, if a child is feeling sad or tired, there is always a kind lap to sit on and a cuddle(依偎). There are trips out and birthday parties too.The advantages are enormous for everyone concerned. The children are happy because they get a lot more individual attention and respond well because someone has lime for them. They also learn that old people are not different or frightening in any way. And ofcourse, they see illness and death and learn to accept them. The residents are happy because they feel useful and needed. They are more active and more interested in life when the children are around and they take more interest in their appearance too. And the staff are happy because they see an improvement in the physical and psychological health of the residents and have an army of assistants to help with the children.(1)What is the social problem talked about in Paragraph 1?A.A generation gap.B.Caring for children.C.Inter-generational contact.D.The support for the aged.(2)What do the programmes mentioned in Paragraph 2 aim to do?A.Make the old take care of children.B.Help the old people learn new things.C.Encourage the young to care for the old.D.Increase contact between the old and the young.(3)What is special about the scheme in France?A.Joining an elderly house with a kindergarten.B.Hiring old people as child-care workers.C.Helping children face misfortunes bravely.ing children to accompany the old.二、七选五)4. 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。

Our brains have developed in this way because threats, like dangerous animals, have a more immediate effect on people’s survival compared to positive things like food or shelter.

Psychologists suggest that the following habits can make people happier.People who own close relationships tend to be happier than those who do not. The number of our friends is not important. What matters is the quality of our relationships. Relationships that bring happiness usually consist of the sharing of feelings, acceptance, mutual (双方的) respect and trust.People who exercise regularly can improve both their physical and mental well-being. Some research has shown that exercise can be as effective as some medicine in treating depression.If we are so interested in an activity, we may lose track of time, and we can be in a state of flow. The activity could be playing the piano, surfing the Internet or playing a game… people who experience flow in their work or life t end to be happier.People are more likely to be happy if they know what their strengths are and can use them regularly. People are especially happy when they can set goals and use their strengths to achieve them.People, who think positively by being grateful, mindful and optimistic, are more likely to be happy. Being grateful means being thankful. Being mindful means considering, focusing on, and enjoying the experiences of the present moment. Being optimistic means being hopeful about the future.10.

What makes people sad.DAmerican English began in the 17th century. At the beginning of the 17th century, the English language was brought to North America by colonists (殖民者) from England. They used the language spoken in England, that is, Elizabethan English, the language used by Shakespeare.In order to exploit (开发) new resources in America, British colonists settled down there and from 1607 to 1732 set up thirteen colonies. In these thirteen areas, English was a common language used by all people. They continued to speak as they had done in England.As time went by, the English language gradually changed on both sides of the Atlantic Ocean. Foreigners longing for wealth set food on the coastal area to trade. The Americans adopted many words from foreign languages and invented lots of new words to meet their commercial (贸易的) needs.Following American Independence, famous people like Thomas Jefferson, the president, began to consider that the country should have a language of its own.Noah Webster compile (编纂) three elementary books on English. Later, he expressed the idea that as an independent nation, America should have a system of its own in language as well as in government. After the second half of the 19th century, many great writers such as Mark Twain helped the development of American English.English in America has developed a character of its own, showing the life and the physical and social environment of the American people. Since the rise of the United States to a position of world importance, American English will enrich the English language greatly. With the rapid development of modern mass media and the common needs of economic, cultural and political exchanges, American English will be more widely used in the world than British English.14. What can we infer from paragraph 3?A. People from the seaside were more willing to learn English.B. The English language changed as a result of inner culture shock.C. New words occurred in American English as result of local invention.D. International business and trade contributed to the development of American English.15. What do we know about American English according to the passage?A. It came into being at the end of the 17th century.B. It hardly makes contributions to the development of English.C. Its development has a close relationship with American people’s life.D. It has been more widely used than British English from the beginning.II. 完型填空(共20小题;每小题2分,满分40分)I had just started my second year studying at Cambridge University when I was faced with the news I had never expected.

Talent increases and time decreases. Our life, in a way, is trading time with talents. Wasting time means our time decreases while our talents do not increase. 1 .●Get to know how you use your usual time and make improvementsTake a week and write down what you do every 30 minutes every day and make it int o categories. After a week’s recording, you’ll see which part consumes most of the time. 2 . And you could come up with a revised timetable for your next week.●Use fragment(碎片) time and “dead time”By time recording, you’ll be amazed how much time you’v e wasted in waiting for the bus, queuing, walking, etc. You could really put that time to better use, 3 . Use your fragment time for insignificant matters so that you could have more time for things that really matter.● 4There’re always things to be done every day, and the thing we could do is to identify whether they’re urgent or important. The things you need to do for the day rest only on the urgent as well as important things. Don’t become slaves to urgent but unimportant things.●Use the 20%-80% principleAt the most efficient time,20% of time could generate 80% of efficiency and on the contrary, at the least efficient time, 80% of time could only generate 20% of efficiency. We should be doing important work at the most efficient time. That timeperiod differs from person to person, 5 .Yet generally speaking, it’s round 10 in the morning and 3 in the afternoon.After being familiar with those tips, the next thing would be to implement and hold on to it. Do the right thing at the right time, and we shall make our time to its fullest!A. but everyone has a peak effect timeB. Make an analysis about the ways you could improve your efficiencyC. like memorizing English words or making necessary phone callsD. depending on your mentality and physical conditionE. That is why we shall save every second and make it countF. Pick three things you must finish todayG. Finish as many tasks as possibleIV. 阅读下面10个句子,在空白处填入适当的内容 (1个单词) 或括号内单词的正确形式。
