At St. Francis High School in La Canada, Calif. ,there’s something to be said about math teacher Jim Connor.
Truth is, Connor can be a bit of a drudge. But the 70-year-old Vietnam vet says he’s not here to entertain his students. “It drives me crazy when people say school should be fun,” he says. “I mean, it’s nice if it could be, but you can’t make school fun.”
And for years, the kids thought that’s all there was to him — until last November, when senior Pat McGoldrick learned they didn’t know the half of him.
Pat was in charge of a student blood drive and had just come to Children’s Hospital Los Angeles for a meeting. And he says it was weird: whenever he told someone he went to St. Francis High School, they all said, “Oh, you must know Jim Connor. Isn’t he wonderful? ”
“It was disbelief, really,” Pat says. “It was almost kind of finding this alter ego (另一面) that he has.” Inside the blood donor center, Pat found a plaque listing all the top blood donors at the hospital, including the record holder, Jim Connor. Then he learned something even more unbelievable: that whenever Connor isn’t torturing kids with calculus (微積分), he’s on a whole other tangent-cuddling sick babies. Three days a week for the past 20 years, Jim has volunteered at the hospital, stepping in become involved in an activity when parents can’t, to hold, feed and comfort their children.
“They tend to calm for him,” Nurse Erin says. “They tend to relax with him. They fall asleep with him.”
“I just like them and relate to them somehow,” Connor says.
Connor has never been married; he has no kids of his own. But he has fallen hard for these babies.
“I’ve always respected him, but now it’s to an even different degree — really to the point where I try to emulate him,” Pat says. “He’s the epitome of a man of service.”
4. What do we learn from paragraph 2?
A. School can never be fun.
B. Connor is highly demanding.
C. Connor’s students drive him crazy.
D. Connor thinks education is for all.

B. He has his alter ego in the eyes of his students all the time.
C. He has the ability to connect with those kids he holds.

Cutlery (餐具) including chopsticks, knives, forks and spoons which delivers an electric shock to change the taste of food could help cut down salt in fast food. Scientists have developed a pair of chopsticks, which can make food taste saltier, sour or bitter without the need for extra seasoning (調(diào)味). They are also working on a spoon and fork that could make food taste spicier or sweeter. This “digital seasoning” technology could help food manufacturers and restaurants to reduce the amount of salt they put into food without relinquishing taste.
They work by delivering pulses of electricity to the tip of the tongue to stimulate the tastebuds(味蕾). Dr Nimesha Ranasinghe, an assistant professor who led the work on the electric cutlery, said, “This technology is aimed at creating a virtual taste sensation.”
Some Chinese takeaway food and ready meals were recently found to contain up to 11 times more salt than a bag of crisps — more than half of an adult’s daily allowance. Salt is known to be linked to serious health problems like heart disease and stroke.
But using a pair of electric chopsticks could help cut salt levels without influencing the taste, said Dr Ranasinghe. The technology, which Dr Ranasinghe initially developed while at the University of Singapore, works by installing two electrodes (電極) into each chopstick or the end of a spoon. These electrodes send a weak current through the tip of the tongue when they touch it to stimulate the taste buds.
By controlling the frequency and strength of the electric current, the researchers can stimulate either sourness, saltiness or bitterness. They say up to 80% of people experience changes in saltiness and sourness with the devices and 70% can sense changes in bitterness.
Dr Ranasinghe said he was also working on ways of imitating sweetness and spiciness by rapidly heating and cooling the tongue. It could lead to a spoon that allows desserts to taste sweet while having lower sugar levels or a fork that can give a curry extra heat without the need for extra chilies (辣椒). Dr Ranasinghe said: “We have some early findings of imitating sweetness, a mint-cool sensation and hot or spicy sensations.”
8. What seasoning cutlery has been developed?
A. Chopsticks. B. Knives. C. Forks. D. Spoons.
9. How does the seasoning cutlery work?
A. It cuts down salt in food.
B. It adds extra seasoning in food.
C. It delivers an electric shock to the tongue.
D. It weakens our taste sensation in our mind.
10. What does the underlined word “relinquishing” in Paragraph 1 mean?
A. Removing. B. Attracting. C. Acquiring. D. Compromising.
11. What does the text mainly want to tell us?
A. Give yourself an electric shock to make takeaways healthy.
B. Try to eat at home instead of having take-out food to stay healthy.
C. Make your food taste saltier by using a pair of electric chopsticks.
D. Reduce the amount of salt in your food to avoid health problems.

【8題詳解】
細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段中“Scientists have developed a pair of chopsticks, which can make food taste saltier, sour or bitter without the need for extra seasoning (調(diào)味).(科學(xué)家發(fā)明了一種筷子,可以使食物嘗起來更咸、更酸或更苦,而不需要額外的調(diào)味品)”可知,研究人員研發(fā)了一種可以調(diào)味的筷子。故選A。
【9題詳解】
細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段中“Cutlery (餐具) including chopsticks, knives, forks and spoons which delivers an electric shock to change the taste of food could help cut down salt in fast food.(包括筷子、刀、叉和勺子在內(nèi)的餐具可以通過電擊來改變食物的味道,這有助于減少快餐中的鹽分)”以及第二段中“They work by delivering pulses of electricity to the tip of the tongue to stimulate the tastebuds (味蕾).(它們通過向舌尖發(fā)送電脈沖來刺激味蕾)”可知,這種餐具的工作原理是向舌尖發(fā)送電脈沖,以刺激味蕾。故選C。
【10題詳解】
詞句猜測題。根據(jù)第一段中“They are also working on a spoon and fork that could make food taste spicier or sweeter.(他們還在研究一種能讓食物嘗起來更辣或更甜的勺子和叉子)”可推知,劃線詞所在句意為:這種“數(shù)字調(diào)味”技術(shù)可以幫助食品制造商和餐館在不放棄味道的情況下減少食物中的鹽含量。由此推知,劃線詞relinquishing意為“放棄”。故選D。
【11題詳解】
主旨大意題。根據(jù)全文內(nèi)容,結(jié)合第一段中“Cutlery (餐具) including chopsticks, knives, forks and spoons which delivers an electric shock to change the taste of food could help cut down salt in fast food.(包括筷子、刀、叉和勺子在內(nèi)的餐具可以通過電擊來改變食物的味道,這有助于減少快餐中的鹽分)”可知,本文主要介紹了研究人員研發(fā)了一種電子筷,使食物嘗起來更咸,有助于減少食鹽攝入,同時(shí)不會(huì)影響食物的口味。由此可知,C項(xiàng)“用一雙電筷子讓你的食物嘗起來更咸”能夠總結(jié)文章大意。故選C。
D
What does it mean to live a good life? This question has been debated for centuries. In the field of psychology, two main concepts of the good life have been quite popular: A happy life full of pleasure and positive emotions, and a meaningful life full of purpose and sacrifice. But what if these aren’t the only options?
In recent years, a long-neglected version of the good life has been receiving greater attention: the psychologically rich life. It is full of complex mental engagement, a wide range of intense and deep emotions, and diverse, novel, surprising and interesting experiences. Sometimes they are neither pleasant nor meaningful. However, they are rarely boring or monotonous.
After all, both happy and meaningful lives can become monotonous and repetitive. A person with a steady office job, married with children, may be satisfied and find his or her life meaningful and still be bored. Also, the psychologically rich life doesn’t necessarily involve economic richness. For instance, consider Hesse’s character Goldmund, who has no money but pursues the life of a free spirit.
Research has found psychological richness is related to, but partially distinct from, both happy and meaningful lives. Psychological richness is related with openness to experience and experiencing both positive and negative emotions more intensely. But is the psychologically rich life one that people actually want?
In a new study, Oishi and his colleagues asked people in nine countries the degree to which they value a psychologically rich life, a happy life and a meaningful life. They found many people’s self-described ideal lives involve psychological richness. When forced to choose a life, however, the majority chose a happy life and a meaningful life. Even so, a minority of people still favored the psychologically rich life, ranging from 6.7% in Singapore to 16.8% in Germany.
These numbers went up when the desire for a psychologically rich life was measured indirectly. To understand what a person wishes their lives might have been, it is important to explore what people wish they had avoided in their lives. When asked what they regret most and whether undoing this event would have made their lives happier, more meaningful or psychologically richer, about 28% of Americans said undoing the regrettable event would have made their lives psychologically richer.
These findings suggest that while most people strive to be happy and have meaning in their lives, a sizable number of people are content merely living a psychologically rich existence.
As Oishi and his colleagues conclude, “We believe that taking the psychologically rich life seriously will deepen and enrich our understanding of well-being.” At the end of the day, there is no one singularly acceptable path to the good life. You have to find a path that works best for you.
12. According to the passage, the psychologically rich life _______.
A. means living a luxurious life
B. involves various intense emotions
C. combines pleasure with purpose
D. emphasizes openness and repetition
13. What does Oishi’s research indicate?
A. The Germans prefer psychological richness to a happy life.
B. Undoing regrettable events has enriched many people’s lives.
C. A hidden desire for psychological richness exists among some people.
D. People with psychological richness tend to describe their lives as ideal.
14. We can learn from the passage that _______.
A. purpose outweighs pleasure in terms of significance
B. the choice of a good life differs from person to person
C. a positive mindset helps us understand our well-being
D. we should never be content and always strive for the best
15. What is the main purpose of the article?
A. To compare different concepts of a good life.
B. To explain how to live a psychologically rich life.
C. To persuade people to attain psychological richness.
D To draw attention to a less familiar version of a good life.
【答案】12. B 13. C 14. B 15. D
【解析】
【分析】這是一篇說明文。文章提出除了傳統(tǒng)觀念的好的生活之外,另一種好生活——心理豐富的生活應(yīng)該得到關(guān)注。
【詳解】1.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段第二句“It is full of complex mental engagement, a wide range of intense and deep emotions, and diverse, novel, surprising and interesting experiences.”(它充滿了復(fù)雜的心理參與,廣泛的強(qiáng)烈和深刻的情感,以及多樣的、新奇的、驚奇的和有趣的體驗(yàn)。)可知,心理豐富的生活包含了各種強(qiáng)烈的情感。故選B。
2.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)倒第二段“These findings suggest that while most people strive to be happy and have meaning in their lives, a sizable number of people are content merely living a psychologically rich existence.”(這些發(fā)現(xiàn)表明,雖然大多數(shù)人努力讓自己快樂,讓自己的生活有意義,但仍有相當(dāng)數(shù)量的人僅僅滿足于心理上豐富的生活。)可知,Oishi的調(diào)查顯示在一些人當(dāng)中,隱藏著一種對心理豐富的渴望。故選C。
3.推理判斷題。根據(jù)第五段最后兩句“When forced to choose a life, however, the majority chose a happy life and a meaningful life. Even so, a minority of people still favored the psychologically rich life, ranging from 6.7% in Singapore to 16.8% in Germany.”(然而,當(dāng)被迫選擇一種生活時(shí),大多數(shù)人選擇了幸福的生活和有意義的生活。即便如此,仍有一小部分人青睞心理富裕的生活,從新加坡的6.7%到德國的16.8%不等。)可知,對于好的生活的選擇因人而異。故選B。
4.推理判斷題。文章第一段中提出問題“What does it mean to live a good life? ”(過好生活意味著什么?)并指出“In the field of psychology, two main concepts of the good life have been quite popular: A happy life full of pleasure and positive emotions, and a meaningful life full of purpose and sacrifice.”(在心理學(xué)領(lǐng)域,關(guān)于美好生活的兩個(gè)主要概念一直很流行:一個(gè)是充滿快樂和積極情緒的幸福生活,一個(gè)是充滿目標(biāo)和犧牲的有意義的生活。)然后提出問題“But what if these aren’t the only options?”(但如果這些不是唯一的選擇呢?)所以文章的目的是想提出一種不與傳統(tǒng)概念相同的另一種好的生活的選擇,并在第二段中提出“In recent years, a long-neglected version of the good life has been receiving greater attention: the psychologically rich life.”(近年來,一個(gè)長期被忽視的美好生活的版本越來越受到關(guān)注:心理豐富的生活。)可知這篇文章的主要目的是讓人們注意到不太熟悉的美好生活。故選D。

The word “diary” comes from the Latin word “diarium”, which means “daily allowance”. ____16____And it is used for business notes, planning activities, keeping track of scheduled appointments, or documenting what has already happened. Some doctors suggest that writing in a diary is a good form of self-study.
In America, from the 1940s through the 1980s, a diary was thought of mostly as a way to privately express one’s deepest thoughts while keeping notations about the day. ___17___ Many times, movies would show a teenage girl beginning to write in her diary while she said aloud, “Dear diary”
___18___ A diary kept by a young German Jewish girl by the name of Anne Frank provides us with invaluable lessons about history, for she documented her experiences while she hid from the Nazis during their occupation of the Netherlands in World War II. Her diary became one of the world’s most widely read books and is the basis for many films.
Samuel Pepys, who lived during the 17th century, is the earliest diary keeper that is famous today. His diary is also an important documentation of history, for it gives personal insight (洞察力) into London’s Great Plague and the Great Fire. His diary is being published on the Internet, and it’s interesting to note that there has been a new entry every day since January of 2003. It will continue over the course of several years to come. ___19___
Today’s electronic version of the diary, the web log or “blog” has once again stretched the diary to be much more than a personal account of the day’s events. There are blogs to document recipes, traveling, movies, independent news, product announcements, photos, and anything else that needs to be recorded over time. Search engines like Technorati. com have been created to keep track of the more than 112 million blogs that are currently public.___20___
A. It refers to a book for writings by date.
B. In its newest form, the diary has become more popular than ever.
C. Reading his diary is fascinating, and it makes his life all the more real to us.
D. People love to write diaries, so whenever they are free, they will write a few lines.
E. Those private reflections may have historical significance long after the author’s death.
F. Nowadays, the blog has taken the place of the diary and becomes more and more popular.
G. In those times, and even continuing on today, writing in a diary was like writing to a special friend.

考查副詞。句意:更具體地說,這是瑪麗安(Marianne)所戴的紅帽子,她是自由法蘭西共和國的藝術(shù)象征。分析句子可知,此空應(yīng)填副詞作狀語修飾后面整個(gè)句子。故填specifically。

And a quarter of the students believe it makes chatting on the Internet more convenient. However, there are 7% of the students thinking Internet slang lacks depth of thought and is too casual.
