1．A few years back I worked in a university building that also housed a department full of psychologists，all of whom seemed to see us as perfect guinea pigs （豚鼠） for their latest theories.If an eager graduate student showed up in my office bearing desserts and asked me to pick one，I'd cast a careful glance and ask "Why？" before grabbing the apple pie.
So，one day，when someone from the Psychology Department posted instructions in the bathroom persuading all of us to "Think about five things for which you're grateful every day for a week!"，my response was frankly doubtful.I did the math.Five things a day for seven days is a lot of brainpowers to expend without so much as the promise of an apple pie.
I wandered into the office of Heidi Zeitzer，the director of our school's Psychological Services Clinic. "What's with the gratitude thing？" I asked.You don't ask an academic question - even a simple one unless you're prepared for a long answer.Heidi came alive，and I sat down.That's when I first heard the term "positive psychology".The gratitude thing，as I had called it was but one small and simple element of the practice. "Kind of like training the brain to focus on joy，" my friend Heidi explained. "It's only a week，" she urged. "Try it." I did.And guess what？It worked.
Every day for a week，I found five distinct things for which I was thankful.They had to be different every day.I couldn't get away with just being grateful for my wonderful husband.But I could，suggested Collie Cononley，another positive psychologist express my gratitude for specific aspects of a certain person each day.He's a great cook.He always puts our family first.
Life will never be perfect.I still see new stories that annoy me.The traffic in my city is maddening.I wish I could speed up my recovery.But with just one simple exercise，I'm rediscovering the peace of that old saying：accepting the things I can't change，working without complaint to change what I can，and being wise enough to know the difference.And all it took was a little gratitude.
（1）What's the Author's attitude toward the student with desserts？
A．Cautious.
B．Respectful.
C．Indifferent.
D．Supportive.
（2）Why was the author doubtful about the instructions？

D．Because she could do five things every day easily.
（3）What does Collie Cononley suggest the author should do？
A．Be grateful to her wonderful husband.
B．Be thankful for things but not people.
C．Be a great cook and put her family first.

（4）What's the best title for the test？

C．Practicing Gratitude Changed My Life
D．Bing Grateful to One Good Person組卷：1引用：1難度：0.6 -
2．California has lost half its big trees since the 1930s，according to a study to be published Tuesday and climate change seems to be a major factor（因素）.
The number of trees larger than two feet across has declined by 50 percent on more than 46，000 square miles of California forests，the new study finds.No area was spared or unaffected，from the foggy northern coast to the Sierra Nevada Mountains to the San Gabriels above Los Angeles.In the Sierra high country，the number of big trees has fallen by more than 55 percent；in parts of southern California the decline was nearly 75 percent.
Many factors contributed to the decline，said Patrick McIntyre，an ecologist who was the lead author of the study.Woodcutters targeted big trees.Housing development pushed into the woods.Aggressive wildfire control has left California forests crowded with small trees that compete with big trees for resources（資源）.
But in comparing a study of California forests done in the 1920s and 1930s with another one between 2001 and 2010，McIntyre and his colleagues documented a widespread death of big trees that was evident even in wildlands protected from woodcutting or development.
The loss of big trees was greatest in areas where trees had suffered the greatest water shortage.The researchers figured out water stress with a computer model that calculated how much water trees were getting in comparison with how much they needed，taking into account such things as rainfall，air temperature，dampness of soil，and the timing of snowmelt （融雪）.
Since the 1930s，McIntyre said，the biggest factors driving up water stress in the state have been rising temperatures，which cause trees to lose more water to the air，and earlier snowmelt，which reduces the water supply available to trees during the dry season.
（1）What is the second paragraph mainly about？
A．The seriousness of big-tree loss in California.
B．The increasing variety of California big trees.
C．The distribution of big trees in California forests.
D．The influence of farming on big trees in California.
（2）Which of the following is well-intentioned but may be bad for big trees？
A．Ecological studies of forests.
B．Banning woodcutting.
C．Limiting housing development.
D．Fire control measures.
（3）What is a major cause of the water shortage according to McIntyre？
A．Inadequate snowmelt.
B．A longer dry season.
C．A warmer climate.
D．Dampness of the air.
（4）What can be a suitable title for the text？
A．California's Forests：Where Have All the Big Trees Gone？
B．Cutting of Big Trees to Be Prohibited in California Soon
C．Why Are the Big Trees Important to California Forests？
D．Patrick McIntyre：Grow More Big Trees in California組卷：1引用：1難度：0.5

3．Why do people go to university？There is a popular notion that a college education is something to be endured in order to become（1）
to obtain certain kinds of jobs or to go to graduate school.This is not what we are trying to do at Harvard，nor would we wish to have many students here who took such a（n）（2）view of a college career.There are several goals we aim to reach in our undergraduate program.
The most obvious one is to give knowledge-fairly（3）knowledge in one field and a more general knowledge of a variety of other subject areas which you may choose according to your interest.But if acquiring knowledge is a self-evident part of a college education，it is（4）the most important.Remarkably few of the facts you learn here will remain in your（5）for many years，and some of those that do will even be proved（6）by new knowledge.
（7），we can instill（灌輸）certain attitudes of mind-a willingness to accept uncertainty，and the lack of definite truths；independence of mind，and a respect for facts and for the uncomfortable conclusions which facts sometimes lead to.
In addition to these（8）qualities，a college education should try to lay a foundation for the creative use of（9）time.Some of this capacity can be stimulated in the classroom-in courses in the humanities and the arts.Yet，at least as much（10）will occur outside the lecture hall-on athletic fields，in music rooms，student theaters，concert halls，and so forth.
These are some of the（11）of a liberal college education as I see them.I cannot resist concluding with a few private thoughts about our new careers at Harvard.
To begin with，I hope that we will think（12）about what we want to accomplish here.It would be（13）for you to set your sights on some limited goal，such as getting good grades or merely getting into one or another graduate school.
Second，I hope that you will give some thought to what you can do for others during your stay here.There are many problems waiting for your help，and many people who could（14）your efforts.
My final bit of advice.Whatever else we do，let us remember not to take ourselves too seriously.However great our problems may seem，however urgent our complaints，they are overshadowed（黯然失色）by the（15）of countless other people on our planet.（1） A．fascinated B．required C．determined D．qualified （2） A．narrow B．strong C．optimistic D．sensitive （3） A．expanded B．concentrated C．informed D．illustrated （4） A．far from B．by far C．free from D．without doubt （5） A．position B．memory C．evaluation D．foundation （6） A．false B．essential C．useful D．common （7） A．Somehow B．However C．Therefore D．Besides （8） A．physical B．inborn C．intellectual D．emotional （9） A．business B．leisure C．experiment D．study （10） A．stimulation B．a(chǎn)ppreciation C．participation D．exposure （11） A．benefits B．problems C．a(chǎn)ims D．a(chǎn)chievements （12） A．honestly B．broadly C．freely D．continually （13） A．fantastic B．tragic C．magic D．basic （14） A．profit from B．suffer from C．reflect on D．complain about （15） A．inspiration B．difficulties C．a(chǎn)mbitions D．difference 組卷：0引用：1難度：0.3

4．China's now-famous herd（群）of wandering elephants is approaching their（1）
（origin） habitat in the southwestern province of Yunnan after traveling southward for days.
The elephants have spent the last five days（2）（wander） and foraging（覓食）in Yuanjiang County of Yuxi City in Yunnan.Drones（無人機）have been used to track the herd's movements in the region.
On Thursday afternoon，the elephants left a field（3）they were foraging and headed into the forest.A monitoring team，using both drones（4）ground search methods，located the elephants within two hours.
The herd's return journey is expected to be hastened（加快）by lower temperatures in autumn，according to experts.
Since leaving their forest home in southern Yunnan's Xishuangbanna Dai Autonomous Prefecture last year，the elephants（5）（travel） northward about 500 kilometers and arrived at the suburbs of the provincial capital Kunming on June 2.
Chinese（6）（authority） have sent police to escort（護送）the herd，clear roads（7）（facilitate） their passage，and used food to distract them from entering densely populated areas during their journey.
Asian elephants are（8）（primary）found in Yunnan and are（9）first-class state protection in China.Thanks to（10）（enhance） protection efforts，the wild elephant population in the province has grown to about 300，up from 193 in the 1980s.組卷：0引用：1難度：0.5
