making money from stampscafter graduating from college and moving to new york, hannah brencher was feeling anxious and depressed. she found herself not wanting to be around other people. then she started writing love letters and leaving them all over the city. to whoever finds this letter,you and i dont know one another. we may never sit and laugh over cups of coffee. we may never dance in the same circles. none of that really matters to me. i wish you would know on a daily basis that you are lovely and that you are worthy. you probably think i am crazy since you dont know me. but i need to know that i matter to someone somewhere. in a way i cannot explain, you matter to me. and you are a marvel (奇跡). love, a girl just trying to find her way“what i noticed was that my sadness and loneliness got unimportant,” hannah told the bbc. now hannah and her more love letters campaign are part of a growing number of organizations calling for the beneficial effects of random acts of kindness. nowadays, more standard treatment for social anxiety disorder is cognitive behavioral therapy (認(rèn)知行為治療). as part of this therapy, patients are encouraged to face their fears of social contact. dr lynn alden, from the university of british columbia, asked volunteers with high levels of social anxiety to perform small “belief-challenging” tasks similar to hannahs deed. at the end of the four-week-long experiment, participants avoided social situations less and increased relationship satisfaction. “sometimes people would give somebody a small gift, or visit sick people, or thank a bus driver. they were actually fairly small acts but had a much bigger impact on both givers and receivers. they might actually be good for mental health,” explained dr alden. and dr alden urges caution about performing acts of kindness chosen by someone else to impress others, “people should perform the acts of kindness because they want to and not because its required by others.”36. at first, hannah wrote love letters to .a. attract public attention b. release negative emotionsc. show her opinion on kindness d. seek true love and get married37. hannahs love letters are special because they are .a. of the same contents b. found all over britain c. received by strangers d. answered by the researchers 38. what conclusion might dr lynn alden draw from the experiment?a. lover letters can help people build up confidence.b. new therapies are required to treat social anxiety disorder.c. patients with social anxiety hardly have any beliefs.d. acts of kindness may help people with social anxiety.39. the underlined word “they” in the last but one paragraph refers to “ ”. a. volunteersb. small gifts c. small acts of kindnessd. givers40. according to dr. alden, what is the most important when you are showing some acts of kindness?a. having a strong desire to do so. b. being aware of their great value.c. spreading them among people around. d. giving is better than receiving.don an ordinary weekday evening, jane was at home as usual. as she was considering what she was going to do with her dinner plans for the evening, she was unexpectedly interrupted by an urgent call from her sister, “get over here!” a few hours later, jane found herself with 8 strangers in the middle of the boiling desert heat of utah, picking up rubbish and raising awareness about zero waste and climate change.armed with a deep love of the environment and a desire to make a difference, jane, davey, and a group of self-described “environmental pick-up artists” went on a road-side rubbish pick-up. as they walked, sometimes only covering 0.9 miles in an entire day, they slowly and steadily made their way across the united states, picking up a total of 201,678 pounds of rubbish. in the end, three years and 3,672 miles later, they dipped their feet in the cold waters of the pacific. the road is windy, often up-hill. “with a rubbish bag as your companion, how do you remind yourselves that picking up that tiny gum wrapper on the ground makes a difference? where do you find the strength to keep going?” as i asked jane and davey to answer these questions, they shared remarkable stories of caring environment that gave their efforts to continue their journey. a small group of us were lucky enough to spend two hours last wednesday evening listening to the remarkable stories of jane and davey. as they shared their deep concern for the environment, we together experienced their real spirit. jane and davey, like so many ordinary unknown heroes in our community, might not ever draw much attention like multi-million-dollar-funded projects. in many ways, it is exactly that which makes their story so attractive.41. why did janes sister call her out?a. to ask her to prepare dinner for them.b. to ask for advice on picking up rubbish.c. to beg her to help them out of trouble.d. to ask her to join them in their activity.42. how did the group travel across the united states to gather rubbish?a. by bus.b. on foot.c. by train.d. by bike.43. what gave them the courage to go on their journey?a. good teamwork spirit.b. great interest in traveling.c. deep love of natural beauty.d. deep concern for the environment.44. which of the following can best describe jane and her teammates?a. their action is wiser than environmental projects.b. their effort will stop nature from being polluted.c. ordinary people have done extraordinary things.d. they are famous heroes of environmental protection.45. the author writes the passage to _.a. admireb.

march. but looking older than you really are doesnt necessarily signal an early death.47. being exposed to your tv or living room lights late at night may put you at risk for depression. the research adds to growing evidence in both animals and people that exposure to dim lights at night can lead to all sorts of negative health consequences, including breast cancer, sleep disorder and weight gain.48. while previous work has found that people who are depressed tend to have more trouble focusing, the new study is the first to suggest that mind wandering also causes discontent. when peoples minds are disconnected from their actions, they are generally less happy.49. older people who walk quickly tend to live longer than those who slow down as they age. the study also suggests that, like blood pressure and cholesterol levels, the pace that you feel comfortable walking at can be a simple sign of your overall health and a simple walking test could help doctors and patients make decisions.50. a new study found that people experienced the most positive emotional reactions when they heard genuine, open-mouthed laughter, especially if the laughter came from a woman. breathy laughter made with a closed mouth didnt bring the same good feelings.第卷 (共40分). 寫作 (共兩節(jié)，滿分40分)第一節(jié) 基礎(chǔ)寫作（共1小題，滿分15分）
