分析 本文讲述了一对老年夫妇,通过自己精打细算终于买了一辆新车.

解答 76.possession 77.owing78.pension79.burden 80.signature81.resigned 82.shocked 83.which 84.accumulated85.deposited
76.possession 考查名词.考查固定短语take possession of意思是拥有,占有,这句话是说拥有了一辆新车.
77.owing 考查介词.根据后面又重复说了一次,因为没有听清楚,owing to为介词短语,因为由于的意思.
78.pension 考查名词.考查一个固定名词养老金 pension.
79.burden 考查名词.从前句 if we don't spend wisely可知,如果不理智用钱的话,将是孩子们的一个负担.
80.signature考查名词.所以此处Mack希望老伴没有签字买车.
81.resigned 考查动词.考查动词辞职,为resign再结合内容可用一般过去时.
82.shocked 考查动词.当听说老伴辞职了,所以感到很震惊.
83.which 考查连接词.此处是which引导一个定语从句修饰先行词my money.
84.accumulated 考查动词.查动词积累accumulate.
85.deposited 考查动词.some of it into a special account 告诉我们每月取出一点放进一个专有账户.

10.While going through life with the pursuit of money on our mind,we're often told that money can't buy happiness.But what truth is there in the saying?Is there a relation between money and happiness?(36)D
Humans are very sensitive to change.When we get a rise,we really enjoy it.But some studies have shown that in North America,additional income beyond 75,000dollars a year stops impacting day-to-day happiness.(37)G They often end up spending all the money,going into debt,and experience ruined social relationships.
So surely money can't really buy happiness.Well,recent studies suggest that the problem may actually be in the way that we spend money.(38)CStudies show that people who spend their money on others feel happier.As for the people who spend money on themselves,their happiness is unchanged.
(39)A0ne experiment showed that instead of an organization writing a large check to a charity,dividing the amount up among employees,allowing them to contribute to a charity of their choice,increased their job satisfaction.Similarly,individuals that spend money on each other,as opposed to themselves,not only increase job satisfaction,but improve the team performance.
(40)EInterestingly,the specific way money is spent on others isn't important.Spending something on others is the important aspect of increasing your happiness.

A.The same principle has been tested on teams and organizations as well.
B.Money has more effect on the vast majority of people in the long run.
C.Instead of buying things for yourself,try giving some of it to other people and see how you feel.
D.And if so,how can we use it to our advantage?
E.Almost everywhere we look in the world,we see that giving money to others is positively related to happiness,
F.And while you're saving up for these greatest experiences,don't forget the daily joys in life.
G.In fact,people who win a lottery often report becoming extremely unhappy.

That moment (52)B my thoughts and I became enthusiastic about doing this important duty and felt that true (53)Aby helping save that little girl's life.

17.[1]Medical research is leading American education officials to consider having high school classes start later in the morning.The research says that teenagers are more awake later at night than adults are.When staying up late at night,the teenagers have problems learning early in the morning.
[2]Researchers in the state of Rhode Island measured the amount of the hormone(荷尔蒙) melatonin(降黑素) in people's mouths at different times of the day.Melatonin causes people to feel sleepy.
[3]They found that melatonin levels rise later at night in teenagers than they do in children and adults.It remains at higher levels in teenagers later in the morning.They said this shows that teenagers have difficulty learning early in the morning.Yet most school systems in the United States begin high school classes at about seven o'clock.
[4]A few school districts have made some changes.In 1996,school officials in Edina,Minnesota,changed the start of classes from seven thirty to eight thirty.Two years later,the nearby city of Minneapolis did the same.Teachers there reported that students were no longer sleepy in class and were happier.Staying in school later in the day did not seem to be a problem for students who had jobs after school either.
[5]Health experts say that teenagers need between eight and nine hours of sleep a night.Students      are likely to be late for school,fail to do their homework,fall asleep in class and have trouble taking part in class discussions.
[6]Some people,however,don't support a later start time because they say that it would limit the time for practicing sports after school.However,the Minnesota schools found that this did not hurt school sports competitions.
[7]More American school districts are discussing the possibility of changing high school start times.Researchers and teenagers say that they cannot make the change quickly enough.

76.What is the best title of the passage?(Please answer within 8words.)High school classes start later?/Change high school start time
77.Please fill in the blank in the fifth paragraph with proper words or phrases to complete the sentence.(Please answer within 8words.)not getting enough sleep
78.Complete the following statement with proper words.(Please answer within 5words)If they go to bed very late at night,teenagerswill have difficulty/problem(s)(in)learning early in the morning.
79.Do you think the change is necessary?Why?(Please answer within 15words.)It is necessary,because students can study full of energy in the whole morning.
80.What does the word"this"(line 3,paragraph 6)probably refer to?(no more than 4words)alaterstarttime.

7.[1]My daughter did an experiment for me two summers ago.She applied to job openings she'd found on a couple of big online job boards.She mailed the applications and waited.And waited.After sending out 100 resumes(履历表),specially addressed to each organization's human resources(HR) manager,fewer than five HR departments took the time to reply,or acknowledged receipt.
[2]What happened?
[3]Maybe in the thirty seconds or so of attention that her resume received,each HR person made a snap decision.It seemed that 95 of them were unimpressioned.
[4]Or,maybe,out of the 300 other resumes HR had received that morning,they had already scheduled a requisite(必要的) number of interviews.Or,maybe HR simply forwarded her resume to the hiring manager who was supposed to call her for an interview.
[5]Or,maybe they thought her resume was fairly generic(一般的) and they didn't have time to figure out if she might be a good fit,with the necessary skills,attitudes,and the desire to do the job.
[6]Most likely,the real reason why she didn't get an interview was the last one.HR didn't have time to figure out how she would work in their company.
[7]This happens all the time.I think most job seekers make the serious mistake of thinking that all they need to do is tell the HR department what they did in the past.
[8]That might be OK for some hiring managers,but most want to know the answer to one question:How can this applicant help us right now?If your resume does not answer that question,or sufficiently tell a story about how you may be able to help,you won't have a shot at the job in this market.
[9]Before you can answer that question,however,you need to do some research on the company.Find out everything you can about the company,including the departments,the people,the products,markets,and the plans for the future.
[10]Information is power,and it is available quite easily.Don't expect HR to figure out how you might fit into their organization.You _________ instead.This is the surest way to get the interview.
 
76.What's the main idea of this passage?(within 20 words)How to turn a job application into an interview./Reasons forfailing and suggestions on succeeding in a job interview.
77.Which sentence in the text is the closest in meaning to the following one?
You should tell the HR what you can do for them in your resume and then you may be able to find a job.
If your resume does not answer that question,or sufficiently tell a story about how you may be able to help,you won't have a shot at the job in this market.
78.Fill in the blank in the last paragraph with proper words.(within 8 words)
make it clear in advance/figure it out beforehand
79.List two of the reasons why most HR managers even didn't give the girl a reply.
(each within 10 words)
①Her resume was unimpressed./The HR wasn't impressed withher resume.
②The HR got too many resumes at a time.
80.Translate the underlined sentence in Paragraph 7 into Chinese.
我认为大多数求职者犯了这个严重错误:他们认为自己所需做的无非是告诉人力资源部门他们曾做过什么..

12.Most of us know little about the mental processes that lie behind our decisions.Luckily,what psychologists are finding may help us all make better choices.Here are some of their amazing discoveries to help you make up your mind.
Consider your emotions.You might think that emotions are the enemy of decision making,but in fact they're a part of it.Whenever you make up your mind,your brain's emotional center is active.University of Southern California scientist,Antonio Damasio,has studied people with damage to only the emotional parts of their brains,and found that they were unable to make basic choices about what to wear or eat.Damasio thinks this may be because our brains store emotional memories of past choices,which we use to help the present decision making.
However,making choices under the influence of an emotion can greatly affect the result.Take anger,for example.A study by Nitika Garg of the University of Mississippi and other scientists found the angry shoppers were more likely to choose the first thing they were offered rather than considering other choices.It seems anger can lead us to make quick decisions without much thinking.
All emotions affect our thinking and motivation,so it may be best to avoid making important decisions under their influence.Yet strangely there's one emotion that seems to help us make good choices.The American researchers found that sad people took time to consider the various choices on offer,and ended up making the best choices.In fact many studies show that people who feel unhappy have the most reasonable view of the world.

63.According to the text,what may help us make better decisions?D
A.To think about happy times.
B.To make many decisions at a time.
C.To stop feeling regretful about the past.
D.To learn about the process of decision-making.
64.Damasio's study suggests thatD.
A.emotions are the enemy of decision making
B.our brain has nothing to do with decision making
C.people with physical damage find it hard to make up their minds
D.our emotional memories of past choices can affect present decisions
65.Why are angry shoppers more likely to choose the first thing they are offered?B
A.They often forget their past choices.
B.They make decisions without much thinking.
C.They tend to save time when shopping.
D.They are too angry to bargain.
66.What do we learn from the text?A
A.Emotions are a part of decision making.
B.Sad people always make the worst choices.
C.No emotion seems to help us make good choices.
D.Only sad feelings affect our thinking and motivation.
