    【题目】 Finland is the happiest place on Earth, according to the 2018 World Happiness Report of 156 nations.

    The report, released Wednesday by the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Solutions Network, ranks the countries of the world based on six different categories of well-being: income, freedom, trust, life expectancy, generosity and social support. This year's report also pays special attention to the happiness of each country’s immigrants.

    The U.S. dropped four spots from 2017 and landed in 18th place, and last year’s winner, Norway, came in second place — followed by Denmark, Iceland and Switzerland.Rounding out the top 10 happiest countries was Canada in sixth place, then New Zealand, Sweden and Australia. The order of the top 10 nations changed from the 2017 list but the countries did not, according to the report.

    “The most striking finding of the report is the remarkable consistency between the happiness of immigrants and the locally born,” Helliwell said in a statement. “Although immigrants come from countries with very different levels of happiness, their reported life evaluations resemble those of other residents in their new countries. Those who move to happier countries gain, while those who move to less happy countries lose.”

    Other major world powers placed in significantly low spots on the list. Germany came in 15th, the UK was 19th — followed by Japan in 54th place, Russia in 59th and China in 86th.

    The report, based on surveys completed by citizen volunteers, came just under a week before World Happiness Day on March 20, when the UN declared to recognize “the relevance of happiness and well-being as universal goals and aspirations in the lives of human beings around the world and the importance of their recognition in public policy objectives”.

    【1】The US ranked in 2017.

    A.14B.10

    C.18D.22

    【2】What is the most significant finding of the report?

    A.That immigrants are different from residents in the country.

    B.That immigrants come from countries with different levels of happiness.

    C.That immigrants become happy when they leave the country.

    D.That immigrants and locals feel the similar level of happiness.

    【3】What can be inferred from the last paragraph?

    A.Happiness is no less important than any other aspect in life.

    B.People’s happiness and well-being should be considered when it comes to policy-making.

    C.The happiness report came under a week before World Happiness Day.

    D.What the UN declared was beneficial to all human beings.

    【4】What is the best title of the passage?

    A.World Happiness Day.B.Happiness — forever pursuit.

    C.What's your happiness index(指数)?D.The 2018 World Happiness Report.

    【答案】

    【1】A

    【2】D

    【1】细节理解题。根据第三段中的The U.S. dropped four spots from 2017 and landed in 18th place, and last year’s winner, Norway, came in second place — followed by Denmark, Iceland and Switzerland.（美国自2017年以来下降了4位，排在第18位，去年的冠军挪威位居第二，丹麦、冰岛和瑞士紧随其后）可知，美国2018年排名18，比2017年下降了4个名次，因此2017年排名第14。故选A。

    【2】细节理解题。根据倒数第三段中的The most striking finding of the report is the remarkable consistency between the happiness of immigrants and the locally born（报告中最引人注目的发现是移民和当地出生的人的幸福程度惊人地一致）可知，这份报告最令人震惊的发现是，移民和本地出生的人的幸福感惊人地一致。故选D。

    【3】推理判断题。根据最后一段中的the UN declared to recognize “the relevance of happiness and well-being as universal goals and aspirations in the lives of human beings around the world and the importance of their recognition in public policy objectives”（联合国宣布承认“幸福和福祉作为全世界人类生活的普遍目标和愿望的重要性及其在公共政策目标中的重要性”）可推知，在决策时要考虑人民的幸福和福祉。故选B。

    【4】主旨大意题。根据第二段中的The report, released Wednesday by the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Solutions Network, ranks the countries of the world based on six different categories of well-being: income, freedom, trust, life expectancy, generosity and social support. （联合国可持续发展解决方案网络(Sustainable Development Solutions Network)周三发布的这份报告，根据收入、自由、信任、预期寿命、慷慨和社会支持六个不同的福利类别，对世界各国进行了排名）可知，本文主要介绍了联合国可持续发展解决方案网络(Sustainable Development Solutions Network)周三发布的一份2018年世界幸福报告。由此可知，D项The 2018 World Happiness Report.（2018年世界幸福报告）适合做本文最佳标题。故选D。

    A friend of mine named Paul received an automobile from his brother as a Christmas present.

    On Christmas Eve when Paul came out of his office, a little boy was walking around the shiny new car, admiring it. "Is this your car, Mister?" he asked.

    Paul nodded. "My brother gave it to me for Christmas." "The boy was astounded. "You mean your brother gave it to you and it didn't cost you anything? Boy, I wish..." He hesitated.

    Of course Paul knew what he was going to wish for. He was going to wish he had a brother like that. But what the lad said jarred Paul all the way down to his heels.

    "I wish," the boy went on, "that I could be a brother like that” Paul looked at the boy in astonishment, then impulsively he added, "Would you like to take a ride in my automobile?"

    "Oh yes, I'd love that."

    After a short ride, the boy turned and with his eyes aglow, said, "Mister, would you mind driving in front of my house?"

    Paul smiled a little. He thought he knew what the lad wanted. He wanted to show his neighbors that he could ride home in a big automobile. But Paul was wrong again. "Will you stop where those two steps are?" the boy asked.

    Paragraph1:

    He ran up the steps.

    【题目】In the animal kingdom, weakness can bring about aggression in other animals. This sometimes happens with humans also. But I have found that my weakness brings out the kindness in people. I see it every day when people hold doors for me, pour cream into my coffee, or help me to put on my coat. And I have discovered that it makes them happy.

    From my wheelchair experience, I see the best in people, but sometimes I feel sad because those who appear independent miss the kindness I see daily. They don’t get to see this soft side of others. Often, we try every way possible to avoid showing our weakness, which includes a lot of pretending. But only when we stop pretending we’re brave or strong do we allow people to show the kindness that’s in them.

    Last month, when I was driving home on a busy highway, I began to feel unwell and drove more slowly than usual. People behind me began to get impatient and angry, with some speeding up alongside me, horning (按喇叭) or even shouting at me. At that moment I decided to do something I had never done in twenty-four years of driving. I put on the car flashlights and drove on at a really low speed.

    No more angry shouts and no more horns!

    When I put on my flashlights, I was saying to other drivers, “I have a problem here. I am weak and doing the best I can.” And everyone understood. Several times, I saw drivers who wanted to pass. They couldn’t get around me because of the stream of passing traffic. But instead of getting impatient and angry, they waited, knowing the driver in front of them was in some way weak.

    Sometimes situations call for us to act strong and brave even when we don’t feel that way. But those are few and far between. More often, it would be better if we don’t pretend we feel strong when we feel weak or pretend that we are brave when we are scared.

    【1】The author feels sad sometimes because .

    A. he has a soft heart B. some people fail to see the kindness in others

    C. some people pretend to be kind D. he relies much on others

    【2】What did the other drivers do when they saw the flashlights?

    A. They waited with patience. B. They speeded up to pass.

    C. They tried their best to help. D. They put on their flashlights too.

    【3】Which of the following is the best title of this passage?

    A. A Wheelchair Experience. B. A Driving Experience

    C. Weakness and Strength D. Weakness and Kindness.

    【题目】 As William Shakespeare is to literature in English, so is the poet Du Fu to the Chinese literary tradition. “We have Dante, Shakespeare and Du Fu. These poets create the very values by which poetry is judged,” said Harvard Professor Stephen Owen in Du Fu, China’s Greatest Poet, a new BBC documentary(纪录片) broadcast on April 7.

    Aimed at introducing the charm and beauty of traditional Chinese literature to viewers around the globe, the documentary invited famous British actor Ian McKellen, who played the wizard(巫师) Gandalf in the film series The Lord of the Rings, to read 15 of Du’s poems that have been translated into English.

    The one-hour film talks about the poet’s life experiences in detail. Born in 712, Du lived under the government of the Tang Emperor Xuanzong (713-756), a time marked by extraordinary prosperity(繁荣), inclusiveness (包容) and cultural achievement. However, as the An Lushan Rebellion of 755 broke out in the country, Du, the former civil servant(文职人员) at the Tang court, had to take his family on the road as refugees(难民), and put up with starvation and suffering. Through ups and downs, the poet never stopped writing and about 1,500 poems have been kept over the ages.

    “Chinese people really value the recording of history and Du is better than anyone at reflecting(反映) history in his poetry. That’s because historical events are mirrored in his own life and spiritual journey,” Zeng Xiangbo, a professor of ancient Chinese literature at Renmin University of China, told China Daily.

    Even though he never held a high position in the government, Du still cared about common people. For example, in the poem My Cottage Unroofed By Autumn Gales , he wrote that “Could I get mansions covering ten thousand miles, I’d house all scholars poor and make them beam with smiles. ” “That’s why he was honored as a Poet Sage by later generations. A difficult life and his spirit of concern about the world helped him create so many masterpieces,” Shi Wenxue, a cultural critic based in Beijing, told the Global Times.

    【1】According to Para.2, we know Ian McKellen is___________.

    A.a narrator in the documentaryB.a big fan of Du Fu

    C.the director of the documentaryD.a British wizard

    【2】Why Du Fu is so valuable a poet in the mind of Chinese people?

    A.Because he experienced the ups and downs of Tang Dynasty.

    B.Because he never stopped and wrote about 1,500 poems.

    C.Because his poems are completely kept over the ages.

    D.Because his poetry is a good reflection of history.

    【3】The poem mentioned in the last paragraph is intended to _________.

    A.explain Du Fu’s position in the government

    B.show Du Fu’s concern about ordinary people

    C.tell the readers what a difficult life Du Fu lived

    D.show Du Fu’s intelligence in writing a poem

    【4】What is the passage mainly about?

    A.Du Fu’s works gain popularity home and abroad.

    B.Chinese literature becomes a hit in the UK.

    C.China’s Poet Sage appears on the screen in the UK.

    D.British people fall in love with Chinese poetry.
