The key is not wealth or physical well-being, since we find beggars, the disabled and so-called 4( fail ), who are extremely happy. 5(stay) happy is satisfaction of soul and character. 6is not selfish to try to achieve it. It is, indeed, a duty to ourselves and others. Being 7(happy) is like an infectious disease. It causes people to stay away from the sufferer. He soon finds himself alone and sad. There is, 8,a cure for it: if you don’t feel happy, pretend to be! It 9(work). Before long you will find that you attract people.

3for

4failures

5Staying

6It

7unhappy

8however

9works

10a

【解析】本文的话题是快乐的本质和重要性。得到快乐的最简单的方法就是假装快乐。

1句意:正如Stevenson所说,快乐是一种责任。此处是as引导的非限制性定语从句,故填As。注意大写开头。

2此处表示特指这个单词“happiness”的含义,故用定冠词the。

3句意:高兴的人因为各种各样的理由而高兴。根据句意可知填for。

4句意:乞丐,残疾人和所谓的失败者。此处是并列关系,根据句意可知用名词的复数形式,故填failures。

5此处是动名词做主语,故填Staying。注意大写开头。

6根据句意可知此处是it做形式主语,动词不定式做真正的主语。故填It。

7根据此空后面的like an infectious disease.像一个传染病,可知此处应用happy的反义词。故填unhappy。

8考查副词。由语境可知,这里表示转折,又因为空格前后都有逗号,所以用however。

9works.

句意:这很起作用。根据前文可知此处用一般现在时态,It是句子主语,故填works

10考查冠词。此处reality意为"事实",是可数名词,且表泛指,故用不定冠词a。

They Just Can't Help It

My theory is that the female brain is mainly built for empathy the ability to understand other people and that the male brain is mainly built for building systems. __【1】_ For example, women are more likely to read magazines on fashion and parenting, while men will choose magazines that feature computers and sport.

You may think that these preferences are influenced by the way people are taught to behave when they are growing up. However, this is not the case. A new study carried out at Cambridge University shows that newborn girls look longer at a face, and newborn boys look longer at a mobile. __【2】_ It has also been observed (that girls are better at noticing signs of changes in other people's feelings. Boys, however, seem to enjoy building toy towers and playing with toys which have clear functions. __【3】_ People whose jobs are in the construction industries are almost male. Math and engineering, which require high levels of systems-thinking, are also male-chosen disciplines. Why do men and women have the difference? Actually women have four times as many brain neurons (神经) that connect the right and left part of their brains. Because of it, women have a better ability to multitask than men. __【4】_ Men tend to focus on a limited number of problems at a time. They will separate themselves from problems and view tasks as independent from one another.

Some people may worry that I am suggesting one gender (性别) is better than the other, but this is not the case. My theory says that males and females differ in the kinds of things that they find easy, but that both genders have their strengths and weaknesses. __【5】_ It is not true. The study simply looks at males and females as two groups, and asks what differences exist, and why they are there.

A. Generally speaking, there are clear differences.

B. Their preference for building systems may change over time.

C. You can see the same kind of pattern in the adult workplace.

D. They will consider many sources of information at the same time.

E. It is important to stress that the female brain may be built more for empathy.

F. That suggests certain differences between male and female brains are biological.

G. Others may think the theory creates a belief of what a particular type of person is like.

【题目】It’s an ordinary morning,like all the others.But instead of being woken up by the buzzing of an alarm clock, you’ll be roused by the smell of freshly made coffee,light entering your room as the curtains open automatically,and a gentle back massage(按摩)provided by your high-tech bed.

This is what a typical(典型的) person's life will be like two decades from now,according to The Guardian. Want to know more?

After you get up, your apartment will be like an electronic orchestra with you as the conductor. With simple moves of your hand and spoken instructions, you’ll be able to control your apartment’s temperature, humidity, music and lighting. You’ll be able to look through the day’s news on translucent screens while your breakfast waits for you in the automatic oven.

As you move into your kitchen, you might accidentally hit your toe on a cupboard. If you do, you’ll grab your cell phone and open the diagnostics(诊断) app. Inside your phone there will be a tiny microchip(芯片) that uses X-ray waves to scan your body. The scan will tell whether your toe is bruised or broken.

After breakfast, your driverless car will take you to work. While you “drive”, your central computer system will suggest a list of chores(家务事) that your housekeeping robots can do that day and it will also remind you to buy a gift for your mother’s upcoming birthday.

As you can see, with the help of advanced technology, our lives will be more efficient(有效率的). Technology will mitigate our forgetfulness and free us of many small burdens that distract us, such as buying a ticket. Our brain will therefore be able to focus on more important things like preparing for a presentation or doing “deep thinking”.

However, the development of technology might have some disadvantages as well. By 2036, we’ll be relying heavily on the virtual(虚拟的) world, which will mean that all of our data will be stored in the cloud, a remote digital storage system with near limitless capacity(容量). That will increase the possibility of someone else accessing, sharing or manipulating(操控) our personal information.

A. To stress the importance of developing technology.

B. To remind people not to depend too much on computers.

C. To introduce one new invention that will benefit our future lives.
