【解析】这是一篇人生感悟,作者过去自私的生活着,有一天看到一个街头艺人在行乞,一开始作者不屑一顾,但是当作者看到这位街头艺人是在为地震灾区募捐的那一刻,改变了一个自负的“我”。

⑴考查动词。A. left离开; B. cleaned打扫;C. prepared准备;D. searched搜索。由下文可知,作者上街去买东西吃,所以应是离开办公室。所以答案是A.

⑵考查动词。A. led 带领;B. chose选择;C. saw看见;D. fooled愚弄。此处指在路上,作者看见了一个街头艺人。所以答案是C.

⑶考查名词。A. chocolates巧克力;B. coins硬币;C. tins箱;D. drugs药品。由下文可知作者口袋里装的应该是钱,但是他不会给这位街头艺人。所以答案是B.

⑷考查副词。A. almost 几乎;B. just仅仅;C. rather相当;D. still仍然。由语境可知作者不愿把钱给这名街头艺人,他认为艺人只会拿这些钱去过毒瘾或酒瘾。just “只,仅”符合语境。所以答案是B.

⑸考查动词。A. acted行动;B. looked 看起来;C. sounded 听起来;D. smelt闻起来。下面的young and ragged都是外表,应该用look like “看起来像”。所以答案是B.

⑹考查连词。A. Though尽管;B. For因为;C. Therefore因此;D. But但是。由下文可知作者不想把钱给这个艺人,但又不知怎么花才好,所以应用表示转折的连词but。though 表让步,for表原因,therefore表结果。所以答案是D.

⑺考查动词。A. declared宣布;B. realized意识到;C. expected期望;D. guessed猜想。这里是作者的心理活动,作者意识到不能因为对方是个街头艺人就凌驾于他之上。realize“意识到”符合语境。所以答案是B.

⑻考查代词。A. it它;B. all全部;C. him他;D. them他们。此处him指那个艺人,所以答案是C.

⑼考查动词。A. waited等待;B. followed跟随;C. stopped停止;D. arrived到达。由下文可知作者进行了思想斗争之后,应该是停下来把钱放进……。文章中并没有提到捐钱的人很多,所以不用等待,也不用跟在别人后面,就在街上,也不用到达。根据语境答案为C.

⑽考查名词。A. rag破布;B. hat帽子;C. pocket口袋;D. counter柜台。由上文with a hat in front of him可知艺人前面放了一顶帽子,是供观众往里投钱用的。所以答案是B.

⑾考查形容词。A. selfish自私的;B. awkward笨拙的;C. innocent无辜的;D. special特别的,专门的。文章开头作者就提到他活得很自私,所以他出了钱,就想着有所回报。所以答案是A.

⑿考查名词。A. happiness幸福,满足;B. sadness悲哀;C. love爱;D. hate憎恶。作者投钱之后期待的是一种快乐和满足感。所以答案是A.

⒀考查副词。A. Disappointedly 失望地;B. Unfortunately不幸地;C. Coincidentally碰巧;D. Comfortably舒适地。但是作者并没有得到那种感觉,所以应是失望地走开了。所以答案是A.

⒁考查名词。A. words话语;B. effort努力;C. space空间;D. money钱。作者投了钱,但并没有获得快乐和满足,所以他认为“这证明是浪费钱”。所以答案是D.

⒂考查名词。A. moment时刻;B. day白天;C. break休息;D. event事件。上一段提到作者失望地走了,此处由on my way home可知下面的一幕发生在作者下午下班回家的路上,时间应是天快要黑的时候,所以答案是B.

⒃C考查动词短语。A. walking around四处走动;B. passing by经过;C. packing up装箱打包; D. running off排出,流出。因为天快要黑了,所以当作者再次看到那个艺人的时候,他正在装箱打包准备离开。pack up符合语境。所以答案是C.

⒄考查介词。A. around周围;B. in在…里面;C. behind 在…后面;D. to向。后面的宾语是a cafe counter(一家餐馆的柜台),walk to “朝……走去”,所以答案是D.

⒆考查介词。A. by通过;B. for为了;C. on在…上;D. with用,随着。for在这里表目标或用途,意为为地震募捐资金的募捐箱。所以答案是B.

⒇考查名词。A. work工作;B. time时间;C. energy能量;D. change零钱。作者由于受到这个艺人的大公无私,乐于奉献的精神感染,所以把身上所有的零钱都投进募捐箱。根据语境可知答案为D.

【题目】Regrets are often painful. A study suggests that some people can overcome them, said Jia Wei Zhang, a psychology graduate at the University of California. But this isn’t the case for everyone, he said.

The researchers wondered why some people report feeling improvement from regrets but others don’t. Does it lie in how people approach their regrets?

In the study, the researchers focused on self-compassion (自我同情) as a potential factor in why some people have an easier lime leaving their regrets behind them.

400 people attended an experiment. First, they were asked to write about their biggest regret. Half wrote something they did but wish they hadn’t done; the other half wrote something they didn’t do but wish they had. Then, the participants were randomly assigned to one of three groups: self compassion, self-esteem and a control group. The self-esteem group was asked to respond by “talking to yourself about this regret from the aspect of confirming your positive qualities”.

The control group was asked to write about their favorite hobby rather than their regret. Then, they were asked about their feelings of forgiveness, acceptance and personal improvement following the exercise.

They found that the self-compassion group reported greater feelings of acceptance, forgiveness and personal improvement, compared with the control group and the self esteem group. In other words, focusing on your best qualities is not what helps you feel better about a regret. Rather, being compassionate toward yourself is what may make a difference, the researchers found.

It’s possible that people who practice self-compassion are able to confront their regrets and see what went wrong, so they can make a better choice in the future, Zhang told Live Science. Self-compassion pushes people to accept their regret instead of running away from it.

The researchers used an example of this from a previous study on breast cancer patients who were asked to try thinking about their treatment in a positive light before it began. The women who did so reported greater feelings of personal growth later on.

1What does the underlined word “confront” in Paragraph 7 mean?

A. Handle B. Forget.

C. Ignore D. Show.

2What were the students in the self-esteem group asked to do?

A. Think of a way out. B. Write about their regrets.

C. Record their favorite hobbies. D. Treat their regrets in positive ways.

3Why were the participants asked about their good qualities?

A. To cover up their regrets.

B. To see if they have weaknesses.

C. To see if they have self compassion.

D. To help them feel better about their regrets.

4What was the aim of mentioning the researchers’ study on breast cancer patients?

A. To show the method of the research.

B. To show the value of the acceptance.

C. To show the truth of people’s feeling.

D. To show the difficulty of the research.

【题目】Haad Farang (Haad Sai Yao),KohMuk

This small but striking bay in Thailand has waters free from riptides(激流),making it safe for families to play water in the sun.As its nickname implies—Farang is Thai for foreigners—you'll find a large concentration of backpackers here.Still,with only a couple of simple food shops,it's a far cry from the noises of Chaweng beach on Koh Samui or Kamala on Phuket,which makes it to be one of the top tourist destinations.

Where to eat

The Ko Yao Viewpoint Hotel is the best place for tourists.Drink the sweet cocktails in favour of an icy Chang beer and sit in the last rays of the day.

Where to stay

Cheaper hotels of comparable quality are set slightly back in the forest,but if you want beachfront access it's worth choosing one of the basic hotels at Koh Mook Charlie Beach Resort (bungalows from£32).

Getting there

Fly from Bangkok to Trang with Air Asia (from£30),then take a one-hour Tigerline ship from Hat Yao Pier (£19).Besides,a five-hour ship from Phuket at Rassada Pier(£41) goes directly to the island and will drop passengers at Haad Farang.

【题目】根据短文理解,选择正确答案。
Traditionally, across the world, boys and girls attend a mixed school, where they study together. But boys' schools are the perfect place to teach young men to express their emotions (情感) and encourage them to take part in activities such as art, dance and music.
Boys at single-sex schools were said to be more likely to take part in cultural and artistic activities that helped develop their emotional expressiveness, rather than feeling they had to correspond to(和…相符) the "boy code" of hiding their emotions to be a "real man".
The findings of the study go against accepted wisdom that boys do better when taught together with girls.
Tony Little, head master of Eton, warned that boys were being failed by the British education system because it had become too focused on girls. He criticized teachers for failing to recognize that boys are actually more emotional than girls.
The research argued that boys often perform badly in mixed schools because they become discouraged when girls do better earlier in speaking and reading skills.
But in single-sex schools teachers can tailor (量身定做) lessons to boys' learning style, letting them move around the classroom and getting them to compete in teams to prevent boredom, wrote the study's author, Abigail James, of the University of Virginia.
Teachers could encourage boys to enjoy reading and writing with "boy-focused" approaches such as themes and characters that appeal to them. Because boys generally have more acute vision, learn best through touch, and are physically more active, they need to be given "hands-on" lessons where they are allowed to walk around. "Boys in mixed schools view classical music as feminine(女性的) and prefer the modern genre (类型) in which violence and sexism are major themes," James wrote.
Single-sex education also made it less likely that boys would feel that they had to be "masterful and in charge" in relationships. "In mixed schools, boys feel forced to act like men before they understand themselves well enough to know what that means," the study reported.
(1)The author believes that a single-sex school would __________.
A.force boys to hide their emotions to be "real men"
B.help boys to be more competitive in schools.
C.encourage boys to express their emotions more freely
D.naturally strengthen boys' traditional image of a man
(2)It is commonly believed that in a mixed school boys __________.
A.behave more responsibly.
B.grow up more healthily.
C.perform relatively better.
D.receive a better education.
(3)According to Abigail James, one of the advantages of single-sex schools is __________.
A.teaching can be tailored to suit the characteristics of boys
B.boys can focus on their lessons without being distracted
C.boys can choose to learn whatever they are interested in
D.teaching can be designed to promote boys' team spirit
(4)What does the underlined word “acute” in paragraph 8 mean?
A.lovely
B.sharp
C.serious
D.dull

Lake Titicaca, a famous lake in South America, lies on the border between Bolivia and Peru. But the lives of the ancient people, who once lived around the lake and culture was thought to be highly developed, have long remained a secret. Recently, however, scientists (take) part in an exploration project at the lake have found 1000-year-old temple beneath the water.
Divers from the study group have discovered a building that scientists think is the remains of a temple (build) by the people who once lived beside the lake. The project leaders hope to begin raising (value) materials from the site later this week bad weather forces a change in their plans.
"The scientists have not yet had the chance to study the materials (careful)," said the project (found), John Aubi. "But some have put forward the idea that the remains date from this period because they are similar those found elsewhere."
So far, they (make) more than 200 dives into water 30 metres deep. During these dives, they have been recording the ancient remains on film. There will be a meeting, starting later this year to review the film.
