In this market, Chinese consumers are now the largest spenders. It’s clear that a new generation of young, materialistic people is increasingly relying on luxury brands to improve its self-image.‎ I am a fashionist too, at least in spirit---I love to look at clothes and shoes. But I don’t understand why people spend lots of money on designer labels.‎ When a young woman buys a handbag that costs two months of her salary, that’s a scary thing.‎ What’s interesting is that scientists have found that having luxury things doesn’t lead to happiness.‎ Study after study has shown that although we want material things, when we get them we don’t suddenly become “happy” people. In fact, a series of studies by Leaf Van Boven at the University of Colorado, US, has shown that individuals who spend money on travel and similar experiences get more pleasure than those who invest it in material things. That’s because experiences are more easily combined with a person’s identity. If I travel to Yunnan, that adventure affects how I think in the future. My memories become a part of me.‎ Moreover, as Van Boven has observed, young people who pursue happiness through “things” are liked less by their peers. People prefer those who pursue happiness through experiences.‎ It’s natural to want to express yourself through your appearance. So my advice is: create a look ‎ that isn’t tied to a designer label. Convey your own message. Take some lessons from the late Apple co-founder Steve Jobs. He was always in Levis jeans and a black turtleneck. Mark Zuckerberg, founder of Facebook, routinely appears in hoodies and sneakers. These people, successful people, have style. You don’t have to break the bank to send a message about who you are.‎ Take a trip. Go out into the world. Then come back and confidently create your own signature look.‎ ‎19. What can we infer from the first three paragraphs?‎ A. The author enjoys buying luxury brands herself.‎ B. The author agrees to spend money on material things.‎ C. The author is critical of youths tying their looks to designer labels.‎ D. The author finds it natural for fashionists to follow fashion trends.‎ ‎20. Leaf Van Boven’s studies showed that ______.‎ A. traveling changes a person’s identity greatly B. people dislike those who love luxuries C. experiences can bring people more happiness than luxuries D. luxuries have a negative effect on people’s happiness ‎21. What is the author’s advice on expressing oneself?‎ A. Be selective about designer labels.‎ B. Create your own personal unique style.‎ C. Choose styles that are simple and comfortable.‎ D. Try styles like Mark Zuckerberg’s.‎ ‎22. The main purpose of the article is to ______.‎ A. persuade readers to invest in experiences instead of luxuries B. prove how luxury leads to an unpleasant life C. tell how to express yourself through appearances D. report on a series of studies about luxuries and happiness ‎【答案】19. C 20. C 21. B 22. A ‎【解析】‎ 青年人越来越依赖奢侈品来提升个人形象。这是很可怕的事情。我们应该出去旅行，去世界各地看一看，多体验多经历，自信来自于眼界。‎ ‎【19题详解】‎ 推理判断题。根据前三段的内容得知青年人越来越依赖奢侈品来提升个人形象。这是很可怕的事情。故选C。‎ ‎20题详解】‎ 推理判断题。根据In fact, a series of studies by Leaf Van Boven at the University of Colorado, US, has shown that individuals who spend money on travel and similar experiences get more pleasure than those who invest it in material things.得知Leaf Van Boven研究表明旅行和相似经历比奢侈品更能给人带来更多快乐。故选C。‎ ‎【21题详解】‎ 推理判断题。根据It’s natural to want to express yourself through your appearance. So my advice is: create a look that isn’t tied to a designer label. These people, successful people, have style.得知作者建议我们创造独特唯一的风格。故选B。‎ ‎【22题详解】‎ 推理判断题。根据In fact, a series of studies by Leaf Van Boven at the University of Colorado, US, has shown that individuals who spend money on travel and similar experiences get more pleasure than those who invest it in material things得知作者通过Leaf Van Boven研究劝告公众不要依赖奢侈品而要通过经历来提升个人形象。故选A。‎ ‎【名师点睛】‎ ‎4.A【解题剖析】此题属于推理判断题中的（1）根据不同文体，推断目的意图。不同的文章可能有不同的写作目的, 通常作者的写作目的有以下三种：1) to entertain readers（娱乐读者，让人发笑），常见于故事类的文章。2) to persuade readers（说服读者接受某种观点）常见于广告类的文章。3) to inform readers（告知读者某些信息）多见于科普类﹑新闻报道类﹑文化类或社会类的文章。高考阅读试题设计到各类文章，而以议论文为主，文章的主题句、核心句往往会直接或间接地表明作者的态度立场；阅读理解中也有说明文、描述文。前者因为其体裁的客观性，所以作者的态度也往往采取中立。而后者因为其文章观点往往不直接提出，而且作者写作时也常带有某种倾向性，所以，阅读时要善于根据文章的文体来学会推断作者的情感态度和目的。‎ 答案需要从文章Leaf Van Boven研究劝告公众不要依赖奢侈品而要通过经历来提升个人形象。进行推断。‎ ‎【答案定位】根据文章Leaf Van Boven 研究结果可知，文章劝告公众不要依赖奢侈品而要通过经历来提升个人形象。‎ ‎【推理关系】题干The main purpose of the article is to.☞文章内容has shown that individuals who spend money on travel and similar experiences get more pleasure than those who invest it in material things ‎【答案】spend money on travel and similar experiences get more pleasure than those who invest it in material things.☞A选项persuade readers to invest in experiences instead of luxuries C Here’s an idea whose time has come: A flu shot that doesn’t require an actual shot.‎ For the first time, researchers have tested a flu vaccine patch (疫苗贴) in a human clinical experiment and found that it delivered as much protection as a traditional injection with a needle. Doctors and public health experts have high hopes that it will increase the number of people who get immunized (免疫的) against the flu.‎ Seasonal flu is responsible for up to half a million deaths around the world each year according to the World Health Organization. A team led by Georgia Tech engineer Mark Prausnitz has come up with an alternative method that uses “microneedles”. These tiny needles are so small that 100 of them, arranged in order on a patch, can fit under your thumb (拇指). Yet they’re big enough to hold vaccine for three types of flu.‎ None of the study volunteers had serious side effects. The groups that got patches had mild skin reactions that were not seen in the regular needle group, while the volunteers in the regular needle group were more likely to experience pain. Overall, 70 percent of the volunteers who got vaccine patches said they’d rather use them again than get a traditional flu shot. The study authors declared it a success on all fronts.‎ The biggest beneficiaries could be people in low- and middle-income countries, where flu vaccines are hard to come by. Reducing pain is nice, but other benefits—the patch costs less, is easier to transport, doesn’t require refrigeration, can be self-administered and doesn’t cause waste of needles—are even better.‎ ‎“Microneedle Patches have the potential to become ideal candidates for vaccination programs,” wrote Katja Hoschler and Maria Zambon of Public Health England.‎ ‎23. What is the passage mainly about?‎ A. A vaccine that cures people of their flu.‎ B. A team that does research on seasonal flu.‎ C. A patch that makes flu shots a thing of the past.‎ D. A method that makes traditional flu shot painless.‎ ‎24. What do we know about the vaccine patch?‎ A. It causes slight side effects.‎ B. It causes serious skin reactions.‎ C. It delivers vaccine on the head.‎ D. It works badly on 30% of the volunteers.‎ ‎25. The new patch has all the following benefits except that .‎ A. it is provided free of charge B. it can be used without doctors C. it can be kept at room temperature D. it needs less care in transportation ‎26. What is Katja and Maria’s attitude towards the new shot?‎ A. Cautious. B. Favorable.‎ C. Unclear. D. Disapproving.‎ ‎【答案】23. C 24. A 25. A 26. B ‎【解析】‎ ‎【分析】‎ 本文介绍的是一种不需要实际注射，并且效果很好，易于操作，成本低，易于运输，不需冷藏流感疫苗贴。‎ ‎【23题详解】‎ 主旨大意题。根据第一段A flu shot that doesn’t require an actual shot.第三段These tiny needles are so small that 100 of them, arranged in order on a patch, can fit under your thumb (拇指).Yet they’re big enough to hold vaccine for three types of flu.第四段The study authors declared it a success on all fronts.等内容可知本文介绍的是一种不需要实际注射并且效果很好的流感疫苗贴，这个新发明使以往的疫苗注射成为了过去。故选C。‎ ‎【24题详解】‎ 细节推理题。根据第四段None of the study volunteers had serious side effects. The groups that ‎ got patches had mild skin reactions that were not seen in the regular needle group,可知疫苗实验过程中，志愿者只是有轻微的副作用反应，故选B。‎ ‎【25题详解】‎ 细节推理题。根据第三段These tiny needles can fit under your thumb倒数第二段Reducing pain is nice, but other benefits—the patch costs less，is easier to transport, doesn’t require refrigeration, can be self - administered and doesn’t cause waste of needles—are even better.可知这种疫苗贴的优点，易于操作，成本低，易于运输，不需冷藏，没有针头的浪费等，题中A项没有明确提到，故选A。‎ ‎【26题详解】‎ 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Microneedle Patches have the potential to become ideal candidates for vaccination programs,” wrote Katja Hoschler and Maria Zambon of Public Health England.可知Katja Hoschler和 Maria Zambon认为这种疫苗贴有可能成为疫苗接种项目的理想候选，由此可见他们对疫苗贴是赞成的，故选B。‎ ‎【名师点睛】细节理解题属直接解答性问题，是阅读理解题中最简单的一种，多数属中低难度的题。但高考所占的比例大，应特别引起注意。事实和细节题的命题特点是：对文章或某一段落中的一些特定细节或文章重要事实的理解，一般包括直接理解题和语义转化题。直接理解题能在原文直接找到答案，而语义转化题则需要将题目信息与原文信息加工或整理后才能得出结论。‎ 做细节理解题具体方法与步骤如下：‎ ‎1.略读材料，大概了解原文，掌握中心或主旨。本文介绍的是一种不需要实际注射，并且效果很好，易于操作，成本低，易于运输，不需冷藏流感疫苗贴。‎ ‎2.按文章的体裁，作者写作的组织模式及有关的信息词。如for example, first, second…等预测应该到何处寻找自己所需要的事实。小题2考查疫苗贴的细节内容，根据第四段None of the study volunteers had serious side effects. The groups that got patches had mild skin reactions that were not seen in the regular needle group,可知疫苗实验过程中，志愿者只是有轻微的副作用反应。小题3考查疫苗贴的优点，根据第三段These tiny needles can fit under your thumb倒数第二段Reducing pain is nice, but other benefits—the patch costs less，is easier to transport, doesn’t require refrigeration, can be self - administered and doesn’t cause waste of needles—are even better.可知这种疫苗贴的优点包括，易于操作，成本低，易于运输，不需冷藏，没有针头的浪费等，题中A项没有明确提到。‎ D The United States will introduce a new and comprehensive(综合的) exam for students who seek to study in American and other English-speaking countries, Xinhua News Agency reported from New York.‎ The exam, which stands for a great change from the current English level test, was disclosed by Theresa Chang Wei Jen, associate director of the International Service of the US College Board, America’s leading educational organization.‎ The Advanced Placement International English Language (APIEL) will be offered for the first time throughout the world on May 10, 2002, said Jen.‎ However, the APIEL is a strange title to most Chinese students, and it is unlikely to soon gain the similarity of other already existing exams, such as the TOEFL(Test of English as a Foreign Language), the GRE(Graduate Record Examination), or the IELTS(International English Language Testing System).‎ ‎“I have never heard of such a test and I would prefer the IELTS if I need another exam,” said Xu Jingyan, a graduating student from Beijing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics, who wants to study in England and has already taken the TOEFL.‎ Most of Xu’s classmates have never heard of the APIEL. “The APIEL is designed for international students who wish to get university studies in English-speaking countries, including the United States, Britain, Canada, and Australia.” said Jen.‎ The APIEL has been adopted, said Jen, because the TOEFL can no longer accurately reflect the abilities of students of using the English language comprehensively in an academic environment. Xinhua reported that a fairly large number of foreign students who earned high scores in TOEFL exam turned out to be very ordinary educational performers after admission.‎ Compared with the TOEFL, the APIEL measures a student’s ability to read, write, speak and understand English through testing his or her skills in listening comprehension, speaking with accuracy(精确) and resourcefulness, and writing with clarity(清晰) and fluency, Jen said.‎ ‎27. The United States will introduce a new exam because _______.‎ A. more and more students want to get further education in the USA B. the Chinese people pay special attention to English studies with China’s entry into the WTO C. the already existing exam systems seem to be far from perfect D. it will bring the US government quite a lot of money ‎28. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the selection？‎ A. It will take quite a period of time for people to accept the APIEL.‎ B. The TOEFL is more popular with the Chinese than the IELTS.‎ C. A student will have to take the APIEL if he or she wants to study in English—speaking countries from 2002.‎ D. Chinese students will prefer the IELTS rather than the APIEL even in the future.‎ ‎29. The underlined word current in the second paragraph means _______.‎ A. modern B. present C. standard D. formal ‎30. Which is the best title for this news report?‎ A. The Key to English-speaking Countries B. The Four Skills in Learning English C. TOEFL, IELTS and GRE to be Out of Date D. New Exam Designed for Students ‎【答案】27. C 28. A 29. B 30. D ‎【解析】‎ 全文介绍了APIEL与传统英语测试对比所显出的新功能。‎ ‎【27题详解】‎ 推断题。根据 TOFEL can no longer accurately reflect the abilities of students of using the English language comprehensively in an academic environment 可知原来的测试系统有局限性，由此可知 C 为正确答案。‎ ‎【28题详解】‎ 细节题。阅读全文可知B、C、D与原文不符，再根据 …the APIEL is a strange title to most Chinese students, and it is unlikely to soon gain the similarity of other already existing exams 得知 APIEL 作为新的测试系统不是短时间就能为人们所接受，故答案选 A。‎ ‎【29题详解】‎ 词义猜测题。根据第 1 行 …a new and comprehensive exam 和第 4 段…it is unlikely to soon gain the similarity of other already existing exams 可知 current 意思为“现实的，目前的”，故知 ‎ B 为正确答案。‎ ‎【30题详解】‎ 主旨题。阅读全文可知由于传统测试不能适应新形势对学生的要求，从而设计了一种新的测试系统 —— APIEL，故选 D。‎ 第二节：（每小题2分，满分10分）‎ 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ Does your mood change with the seasons?‎ Some people find that when the temperature goes down, so do their spirits. ___31___They eat more and gain weight.
