For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word; for the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank. How to Find Happiness without Buying it?Our materialistic society has led us to believe that happiness cannot be obtained without having money.Rather than learning to be satisfied with what we have, we _21_ (teach)to want more. We learn from advertising, and from the media, _22_ we need to buy trinkets and toys in order to make ourselves happy, or _23_ (fulfill) emotional needs, and that the purchases they are trying to talk us into will provide us with the psychological comfort we are looking for.Unfortunately, as a society we have bought into these _24_ (misguide)messages and have come to believe that _25_ (spend) money on certain items will bring us fame, fortune, happiness, beauty, or popularity. As a result, we trade hours of our lives working, sacrificing time that _26_ have been spent with our families, _27_ the pursuit of the almighty dollar. Actually, there are a number of ways to enjoy life without the need for a great deal of money. For example, Think about _28_ you would spend your time, and what you would do for enjoyment. Change your focus from material possessions to _29_ that bring you enjoyment, such as spending quality time with your family and friends.Certainly, it is important to work and earn enough to provide for our basic needs and the needs of our families, but it is important to recognize when the desire for personal possessions becomes overly consuming, _30_ otherwise will upset a balance between a satisfying work life and a rich home life. The best way to achieve such a balance is to ensure the drive for material possessions does not become all consuming.【答案】are taught ；that；to fulfill；misguided；spending；could；for；how；others；which【分析】21. 考查時態(tài)語態(tài)，句子缺謂語，teach sb，但是這里teach沒有賓語，所以用被動。22. 考查連詞，這是個賓語從句，從句不缺成分以及沒有疑問意思，所以用that23. 考查非謂語，前面有個or，表示并列，所以跟前面的to make并列，所以填to fulfill24. 考查非謂語，做后面messages的前置定語，表示被動，所以填done的形式25. 考查非謂語，spend動名詞在從句中的主語26. 考查情態(tài)動詞，that后面是個從句，動詞原形前考慮情態(tài)動詞，根據(jù)句意，填寫could27. 考查介詞，后面是個名詞短語，想到介詞，根據(jù)句意填寫for，表示為了28. 考查連詞，think about后面是個賓語從句，根據(jù)句意是填寫how29. 考查代詞，from.to.,根據(jù)這個短語判斷填寫名詞，但是不可以，所以想到代詞，根據(jù)句意填寫others30. 考查連詞，這里which指代前面整句句子Section BDirections:Complete the following passage by using the words in the box.

Grammar and Vocabulary Section A Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the work or phrase that best fits the context.Its no secret that as a population, Americans have been getting heavier, but researchers now say that our weight problem may be worse than we thought.In a study published in the journal PLOS One, lead author Dr. Eric Braverman says that our current measure of obesity (肥胖癥) - body mass index, or BMI - significantly (41) _ the number of people, especially women, who are obese.Braverman and his co-author, Dr. Nirav Shah, studied 1,400 men and women, comparing their BMI measurement to their percentage of body fat, as measured by a dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) scan. While BMI is a simple ratio of a persons height and weight, the DEXA scan- which is normally used to measure body density (密度) - can (42) _ between bone, fat and muscle mass.Based on BMI, about one-third of Americans are considered obese, but when other methods of measuring obesity are used, that number may be (43) _ to 60% according to Braverman.Physicians have complained for years that BMI is a(n) (44) _ measure of healthy weight. Extremely muscular people, (45) _ , may weigh “too much” for their height, since dense muscle mass weighs more than fat, thus qualifying as obese even if their bodies contain very little fat. Yet its not extra weight itself, but excess fat that (46) _ health problems.“People arent being diagnosed as obese, so theyre not being told about their risk of disease or being given (47) _ on how to improve their health,” Braverman said. Data show that people who (48) _ to put on pounds are more likely to continue getting heavier, increasing their risk for a number of diseases.So why is BMI still being used, if its not (49) _? For now, its the best and easiest way for physicians to measure a persons healthy weight while taking into account his or her general body (50) _. DEXA scans are far too expensive to be used as a (51) _ measure during doctors visits. BMI isnt perfect, but many experts say its the best they have.Still, as results like Bravermans continue to (52) _, it may be time to consider other ways of tracking weight, and (53) _, body fat. “Its important to point out the (54) _ of the BMI,” Dr.Richard Bergman, director of Cedars Sinais Obesity and Diabetes Research Institute in Los Angeles said. “Its a poor measure of (55) _, and we do need better measures.”41、 A. predicts B. underestimates C. increases D. reduces42、 A. compare B. recognize C. identify D. distinguish43、 A. closer B. related C. devoted D. key44、 A. important B. imperfect C. incredible D. uncertain45、 A. for example B. in contrast C. in addition D. without doubt46、 A. arises from B. owes to C. leads to D. goes through 47、 A. views B. orders C. instruction D. focus48、 A. decide B. start C. hope D. fear49、 A. right B. recognizable C. popular D. precise50、 A. structure B. well-being C. function D. weight51、 A. special B. routine C. scientific D. decisive52、 A. fill in B. run out C. go down D. build up53、 A. in particular B. on occasion C. after all D. in all54、 A. mistakes B. failure C. inferiority D. weakness55、 A. health B. body C. fatness D. diseases【答案】B D A B A C C B D A B D A D C【分析】41、 聯(lián)系前后文，關鍵“ our weight problem may be worse than we thought”。說明BMI指數(shù)的測量方式低估了一些肥胖人士。A預測；C增加；D減少。42、 根據(jù)后半句，意思是DEXA掃描方式可用以測量骨骼密度，精細地區(qū)分骨骼、脂肪和肌肉的各自質量。A比較；B 認出，識別；C認出，鑒定。43、 聯(lián)系下文。指用其他方式測量后，肥胖人數(shù)會增加，接近至60%。B有關；C致力于，奉獻；D關鍵，鑰匙，答案。44、 根據(jù)后文，關鍵“complain”。指醫(yī)生一直都在抱怨BMI是有缺陷的測量方式。A 重要的；C難以置信的；D不確定的。45、 對BMI的缺陷進行列舉，特別是對于肌肉型人士。B與.形成對比；C另外；D 不假思索，毫無疑問。46、 指過度肥胖會導致健康問題。A升起，出現(xiàn)；B歸因于；D經(jīng)歷（苦難等）。47、 聯(lián)系下文，指給予如何改善自身健康的指導。A觀點；B指令；D焦點。48、 根據(jù)句子意思判斷，意為那些開始增重的人更可能會持續(xù)肥胖下去，增加他們患疾病的風險。49、 聯(lián)系前文。指如果BMI不精確，那么為什么仍舊會使用它呢？A正確的；B可識別的；C流行的。50、 指將一個人總體的身體體型考慮在體重的健康測量中。B幸福；C 功能；D體重。51、 根據(jù)句子意思，意為如果DEXA作為醫(yī)生的日常就診進行測量的話，過于昂貴了。A特別的；C科學的；D決定性的，果斷的。52、 指類似于Braverman所得出的結論不斷涌現(xiàn)出來。A填充；B用完；C下降。53、 聯(lián)系上下文，指應該有更好的方式去監(jiān)測體重，特別是人體脂肪含量的測量。B有時；C畢竟；D總共。54、 指重要的是，我們應該指出BMI的缺陷不足。A錯誤；B失??；C劣勢，下等。55、 A健康；B身體；D疾病。總結性語句，指BMI是有缺陷的測量方式。AB兩個選項過于籠統(tǒng)，未突出BMI受到質疑主要是由于它對于人體脂肪的測量不夠精確這個缺陷。Section B(22分)Directions: Read the following three passage. E ach passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them are four choices marked A, B,C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have read.(A)While a female politician or first lady can use her clothing to create a favorable public image, male politicians dont have as many fashion choices to play with. But Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau seems to have discovered a goldmine his socks.Hes been seen wearing “statement socks” at many public events. For example, during a NATO(北大西洋公約組織) meeting in Brussels in May, Trudeau wore one blue sock and one pink, both with the NATO symbol printed on them. And in June, he wore a pair of socks with the pattern of maple leaves a national symbol of Canada when he appeared on a TV show.The New York Times editor Vanessa Friedman praised Trudeaus play on his socks as “clever”.“Socks are subtle(微妙的) enough not to be distracting, but visible enough that you cant miss the point,” she wrote. “Rarely have a mans ankles said so much.”But not all the playful socks that Trudeau wears send some kind of political message some of them are just for fun.One example is a pair he wore during a meeting with Enda Kenny, then the prime minister of Ireland, in Montreal on May 4. During their meeting, Trudeau wore Star Wars socks simply because that day happened to be International Star Wars Day. If this pair of socks sent out any message, according to Vogue magazine reporter Emily Farra, that message was “just that he has a quirky side and loves George Lucas films,” she wrote.However, some say that 45-year-old Trudeaus unusual sock choices show a childish side of the prime minister that proves he isnt mature enough to be the leader of a country.But Friedman doesnt see it that way. “The socks have been a source of pride and applause on an international scale a symbol both of Mr Trudeaus ability to embrace multiculturalism and of his position as a next-generation leader not bound by old traditions,” she wrote. “They have opened up possibilities for the future.”1. Trudeau wore a pair of socks with the pattern of maple leaves to _A. distract audiences attention from the TV showsB. send a message that he is proud of his countryC. narrow the gap between politician and civiliansD. claim that he is the new-generation leader of the country2. The underlined word “quirky” is closest in meaning to _A. abnormalB. seriousC. enthusiasticD. odd3. According to Friedman, Justin Trudeau _A. has a promising future but still an inexperienced politicianB. used a clever way to explore and finally discovered a goldmineC. is open-minded and is ready to accept different culturesD. is a leader who has abandoned old traditions to build up his future4. The article is mainly about _A. the strange hobby of a young politicianB. a young leaders clever choice of socksC. how male politicians maintain public imageD. the gender difference in modern politicians【答案】1.B 2.D 3.C 4.B【解析】1. 細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第二段最后一句話he wore a pair of socks with the pattern of maple leaves a national symbol of Canada when he appeared on a TV show可知，楓葉是加拿大的這個國家的象征，所以Trudeau穿著帶有楓葉圖案的襪子表示他熱愛他的國家。2. 猜測詞義題。根據(jù)文章第五段not all the playful socks that Trudeau wears send some kind of political message some of them are just for fun可知不是所有Trudeau穿的襪子都帶有政治色彩，有些純屬好玩。第六段主要講了一個Trudeau在和Enda Kenny的會議中穿了一雙有星球大戰(zhàn)圖案的襪子的例子，根據(jù)前文可以猜測，Vogue雜志的記者Emily Farra說，如果說這也有什么含義的話，那一定是奇怪的含義。3. 細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章最后一段a symbol both of Mr Trudeaus ability to embrace multiculturalism and of his position as a next-generation leader not bound by old traditions和They have opened up possibilities for the future可知，F(xiàn)riedman認為Trudeau是一個思想開明、勇于接受文化多樣性的總統(tǒng)，故答案選擇C。4. 主旨大意題。這篇文章主要講的是加拿大總理Trudeau出于各種政治或者個人喜好等原因在不同的場合穿著帶有不同圖案的襪子的事件，B選項符合主旨。(B)l CAFE DISPLAYl OUR JOURNEYSl 12 April-29 May 2008Young people explore how they have adapted to life in Oxford.“When I first came here,” says one young African woman, “I just wanted to cry all the time.
