【解析】

本文通过作者旅游的一段经历,来表述只要有机会在生活中创造快乐的时刻,就不要找借口去做其他事情,因为幸福是最重要的。

1句意:当我们到达酒店时,大约是凌晨2点。

arrived in 到达(大地点);arrived 到达;got 得到;arrived at 到达(小地点)。根据句意,空格处表示“当我们到达酒店时”,arriveget是不及物动词,后面要加介词接宾语,排除BC选项。arrive in 后接大地点,arrive at 后接小地点,空格后hotel是小地点,且是描述过去的事情,所以用一般过去时arrived at。故选D

2句意:我儿子约瑟夫望着时代广场的灯光说他想出去。

inside 在……里;outside 在……外面;back 后面;home 家。根据I told him it was too late to go out“我告诉现在出去太晚了”,可知,空格处表示“想出去”,所以填outside。故选B

3句意:我告诉他现在出去太晚了。

hot 热的;early 早的;late 迟的;cold 冷的。根据when we arrived at our hotel, it was around 2 a.m.,可知,到酒店是凌晨2点,这个时候已经很晚了,所以空格处填late。故选C

4句意:当我们到那的时候,我的儿子指着灯说:“爸爸,看!”

if 如果;unless 除非;because 因为;when 当……时。根据下文my son pointed at the lights and said“我的儿子指着灯说”,可知,空格处表示“当我们到那里的时候”,用when引导时间状语从句。故选D

5句意:当我们到那的时候,我的儿子指着灯说:“爸爸,看!”

listen 听;touch 触摸;look 看;smile 微笑。根据my son pointed at the lights and said“我的儿子指着灯说”,可知,空格处是儿子让爸爸看向他指的地方,所以空格处填look。故选C

6句意:我们花了20分钟来准备,但我们在外面只度过了20秒。

make rules 制定规则;get ready 准备好;do sports 做运动;have dinner 吃晚餐。固定搭配it takes + sb. +时间+ to do sth.花费时间做某事,空格处填动词原形。根据We got dressed,可知,空格处表示“花了20分钟穿好衣服来准备出去”,所以空格处填get ready符合语境。故选B

7句意:但这让我儿子高兴,这对我们来说是重要的。

sad 悲伤的;happy 高兴的;bored 厌倦的;patient 耐心的。but表示转折关系连词,前文表示“我们花了20分钟准备,但在外面只呆了20秒”,可知,空格处表示“但是仅仅是这20秒就足以让我儿子高兴”,所以空格处填happy。故选B

8句意:我们有时有机会在生活中创造快乐的时刻,但我们常常找一个借口去做其他事情。

else表示“其他的”,与不定代词连用时是位于不定代词的后面,所以从结构上排除BD选项。something 某事;nothing 没什么事情。but表转折关系连词,根据前文表示“我们有时有机会在生活中创造快乐的时刻”,可知,空格处表示“但是我们常常找借口去做其他某件事”,所以空格处用something else。故选A

9句意:因为我的儿子,我明白了我是我自己幸福的最大敌人。

friend 朋友;teacher 老师;enemy 敌人;father 爸爸。根据上文That night, I learned a lesson about happiness. We sometimes have chances to create happy moments in our lives, but we often find an excuse to do something else。在那晚,作者受到了幸福的启发,每个人都可以在生活中创造幸福的瞬间,但是往往我们用一个借口去做其他的事情而错过了幸福。由此可见,我们自己才是幸福最大的敌人,所以空格处填enemy符合语境。故选C

10句意:因为幸福是一扇永远敞开的门,所以我们必须决定是否要走出这扇门。

who 指人的关系代词;which 指物的关系代词;what 疑问代词;where 关系副词。根据句子结构,空格处所在句子是一个定语从句。先行词the ones是指代we,指人,在从句中作主语,所以用关系代词who。故选A

【题目】 Many people believe eating healthily is expensive—and more costly than buying junk foods. But our new research, published in the BMC Pubic Health, shows this isn't the truth.

Most of the Australian family food budget(预算)is being spent on junk foods and drinks that are high in fat, sugar and salt.

Less than 7% of Australians eat healthily. The Australian adults get at least 35% of their energy from junk foods and drinks. As a result, two-thirds of adults (63%) and one-quarter of children are overweight.

We used the Australian Health Survey 20112013 and the suggestions of the Australian Dietary Guidelines to model healthy diets for a family of two adults and two children every two weeks. We collected food prices in supermarkets and stores in high and low-socioeconomic(社会经济地位低的)areas in Brisbane, and compared the diet prices with family incomes.

In both areas, a family of two adults and two children spend about 18% more on present diets than would be required to buy healthy diets. About 58% of the food budget for present diets is spent on junk foods, including takeaway foods(14%), and sugary drinks(4%)

In the low-socioeconomic area, a family of two adults and two children spend $640. 20 every two weeks on their present diets, but could buy a healthy diet for $560. 93 every two weeks. In the high-socioeconomic area, these numbers are $661. 92 and $580. 01.

Supermarket food prices were about 3% higher in the high-socioeconomic location. Takeaway foods were also relatively more expensive, but sugary drinks were priced similarly in both areas.

Present diets cost more than healthy diets, so it is surely not the price that helps to drive preferences for unhealthy choices.

1What did the researchers find?

A.Most Australians eat unhealthily.

B.Most Australian kids have fat problems.

C.Half Australians live on junk foods.

D.Australians have a preference for sweet foods.

2How did the researchers get the result?

A.By carrying out interviews.

B.By doing the study online.

C.By making a comparison.

D.By asking personal questions.

3What can we learn from Paragraph 5?

A.Australian foods are healthier.

B.A healthy diet is actually cheaper.

C.Health foods are becoming more expensive.

D.People choose junk foods for their low prices.

4What might the following paragraph be about?

A.The harm of junk foods.

B.How we can eat healthily.

C.The advantages of a healthy diet.

D.Why people choose junk foods.
