13、e enjoy ourselves.Many people would say that this question does not need an answer.But Professor Deiner has one anyway.“If youre a cheerful，happy person，your marriage is more likely to last，and youre more likely to make money and be successful at your job.On average，happy people have stronger immune

14、 systems，and there is some evidence that they live longer.”So who are the worlds happiest people？It depends on how the word is defined.There is individual happiness，the sense of joy we get when we do something we like.But there is also the feeling of satisfaction we get when we know that others resp

16、t is fun or interesting.They become unhappy when they cant do any of these things.If you ask people from Japan or China if they are happy，they tend to look at what has gone wrong in their lives.If not much has gone wrong，then they are satisfied.”People from Spain and other Spanish-speaking countries

17、 had the happiest culture，Professor Deiner found.“The biggest cultural difference is to do with pride and shame.Hispanic(西班牙语的) cultures report much more pride and much less shame than others.”4Income also made a big difference to peoples happiness，but only at the lowest levels.Average income earner

18、s in the US were much happier than people in poverty.But millionaires were only a little bit happier than people on average incomes.It seems that money makes us happy when we have enough to feel secure.6.According to the passage，happy people enjoy the following benefits EXCEPT .A.a long marriage B.r

19、espect from othersC.profession success D.better health答案 B解析 细节理解题。由第二段第三、四句“If youre a cheerful，happy person，your marriage is more likely to last，and youre more likely to make money and be successful at your job.On average，happy people have stronger immune systems，and there is some evidence that th

20、ey live longer.”可知，快乐的人婚姻更长久，工作更成功，寿命也更长。即长久的婚姻、健康、事业成功都属于快乐带来的好处。文中并未提到快乐可以给人带来尊重。7.In Professor Deiners opinion， .A.Asians have a culture to enjoy individual happinessB.Westerners care more about mutual satisfaction than AsiansC.Asians focus more on others respect and approval than WesternersD.Wes

21、terners value individual happiness as much as mutual satisfaction答案 C解析 推理判断题。由第三段最后一句“According to Professor Deiner，the Western world pursues individual happiness while Asia prefers mutual satisfaction.”可知，Deiner 认为西方人更追求个人的快乐，而亚洲人却追求双向满意。由此可推知，亚洲人比西方人更在意别人的尊重和认同。8.What can be inferred from the fif

22、th paragraph?A.Attitude towards pride and shame results in Spanish happiness.B.Spanish people take too much pride in themselves.C.Hispanic cultures lay stress on pride and shame.D.If you are from Spain，you are the happiest.答案 A解析 推理判断题。第五段大意为“来自西班牙和以西班牙语为母语国家的人拥有最快乐的文化，Deiner发现最大的文化差别在于对骄傲和耻辱的态度，西班牙

23、文化比其他文化更强调骄傲而非耻辱” 。由5此可推知，对骄傲和耻辱的态度造就了西班牙语文化的快乐属性，所以 A项正确。9.In the last paragraph，the author seems to tell us .A.poor people enjoy the same happiness as millionairesB.the higher income one gets，the happier life he livesC.average income earners live the happiest lifeD.enough money can make us feel sa

24、fe and happy答案 D解析 推理判断题。最后一段大意为“收入也会导致快乐程度的不同，美国中产阶层比贫穷阶层过得更快乐，但百万富翁只比中产阶层快乐一点点，钱会使人快乐是因为当我们拥有足够的钱时我们会有安全感。 ”由此可知，作者在最后一段表达了“足够多的钱会让人们感到快乐和安全”这样一种看法，所以 D项正确；但此段并无“钱越多人就越快乐”之意，B 项将“足够多的钱能让人快乐”和“钱越多人越快乐”混为一谈，所以 B项错误。10.The passage is mainly about .A.cultural differences in happinessB.the happiest cul

25、tureC.reasons for happinessD.benefits of happiness答案 C三、Many public figures from IT，show business，and sports have joined the Ice Bucket Challenge to raise money for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS)(肌萎缩性侧索硬化) research.A number of international famous people have already taken the challenge，includi

32、e they are generous.D.To introduce the target group of the Ice Bucket Challenge.答案 A解析 推理判断题。文章第一段主要介绍很多名人都参与了冰桶挑战，故可推知作者意在通过列举名人吸引读者注意，突出强调冰桶挑战的流行，进而引出下文对冰桶挑战及背景的介绍，故 A项正确。32.Paragraph 2 is mainly about the Ice Bucket challenges .A.influence B.purposeC.rules D.development答案 C解析 段落大意题。第二段主要讲的是冰桶挑战要求

33、参与者要将一桶冰水倒在自己身上，并在社交媒体上发布一个视频，提名一个或更多的人在 24小时内做同样的事情，那些没有完成挑战的人要捐 100美7元给 ALS机构。因此，第二段主要讲的是冰桶挑战的规则，rules 符合文意。influence 意为“影响” ；purpose意为“目的” ；development 意为“发展” ，均不符合文意。33.The person who is nominated for the challenge is required to .A.donate 100 to The ALS AssociationB.watch others videos on socia

34、l mediaC.help find effective treatments for ALSD.pour ice water on himself within time答案 D解析 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“The ALS Ice Bucket Challenge requires that participants pour a bucket of ice water on themselves and then post a video of it on social media while nominating one or more people to do the same w

36、eople with ALS survive only two to five years after diagnosis(诊断).”可知，大多数患有 ALS的人在确诊后一般只活了 2到 5年。故可推知，很少患有 ALS的人能够活数十年，故 C项正确。35.According to Barbara Newhouse，the Ice Bucket Challenge .A.makes more people well aware of ALSB.teaches people how to fight against ALSC.makes medical companies help ALS pa

37、tientsD.attracts many people to join ALS organizations答案 A解析 细节理解题。根据最后一段第一句 Due to the ice bucket campaign，many people are beginning to know about ALS.可知，冰桶挑战使很多人了解了 AL四、One hundred grandmothers were asked how good manners had changed since they were 8children，what they expected of their own childr
