That’s one possibility suggested in a new study which examined how conversation is related to happiness.‎ Researchers, led by Matthias Mehl at the University of Arizona, looked at the different types of conversation that happy and unhappy people participate in. The study, published in the journal Psychological Science, was somewhat small, involving 79 undergraduates, but meshes (吻合) well with established ideas that happiness and social life are connected.‎ Experts found that the happiest people in the study engaged in 33% more small talk than the unhappiest participants(参与者). Happy people tended to have twice as many deep conversations, and spent 25 percent less time alone than the unhappiest participants.‎ These insights (见解) fit with what psychologists have seen previously: that loneliness leads to depression, and that feelings of social connectedness are important for happiness, said Susan Turk Charles, a psychologist at the University of California, who was not involved in the study.‎ Deep conversations create a feeling of belonging that leads to happiness, she said. On the contrary, people who suffer from depression tend to withdraw from others.‎ The method that the researchers used was creative, Charles said. Instead of bringing people into a lab, as is traditionally done in these sorts of studies, they had participants wear a recording device for four days, picking up conversations that they had. The recorder sampled (抽取样品) 30 seconds of sound every 12.5 minutes, giving researchers a broad range of conversations to examine in terms of "small talk" vs. "deep conversation".‎ The bottom line is that maintaining friendships can help with emotional well-being(幸福，健康). Friends buffer the effects of negative events and provide support, Charles said. Don’t be too busy to have a deep conversation, she said. "It really is important. It should be something that you should pay just as much attention to as your career," she said.‎ ‎24. What can we learn about the new study?‎ A. It is led by Susan Turk Charles.‎ B. It focuses on the relationships between small talk and happiness.‎ C. Most of participants in it like to have deep conversations.‎ D. Its result is consistent with(与…一致) the previously established ideas.‎ ‎25. According to Charles, __________.‎ A. small talk is not important B. deep conversations can make people happy C. people are too busy to have deep conversations D. people that make small talk often suffer from depression ‎26. In the last paragraph, Charles advises people _______.‎ A. to pay lots of attention to deep conversations B. not to focus too much attention on their own career C. to ask for help from friends when in difficulty D. to develop their emotional well-being ‎27. What can we learn from the text?‎ A. The journal Psychological Science provided financial support for the study B. The study was creative and different from traditional studies C. The participants of the study needed to be well educated D. The participants took off the recorder every 12.5 minutes C I reached into the closet to unfasten the Belleek porcelain(瓷器) flower pinned to a red coat. From a navy blue jacket, I removed a dark green feather pin. I detached a sparkling diamond from the collar of a black jacket. ‎ Every coat and jacket of my mother was decorated with complementary jewelry. I was breaking ‎ up time-honored pairings because I had to, because she died one recent evening when she sat down to rest and never got up. So it was perfectly understandable that I put in my pocket the porcelain flower my father had sent her from boot camp when he was a young World War I Marine in Paris Island, South Carolina, but I still felt like a thief, stealing bits and pieces of my mother’s life. ‎ Like thieves, my sister Ellen and I were going through her private items. The treasures before me include surprises, like a lock of hair from my first haircut; my daughter’s poem to her grandmother; the notes from friends and family, including a love note to Dad in a Father’s Day card she sent him. Ah, love notes. ‎ I once mentioned the letters between her and my father when he served in the South Pacific. They wrote to each other daily for three years, without missing a day. “Oh, I destroyed them, ” she said as she casually poured herself a cup of tea. “How could you do that?” I asked. My mother looked at me directly and unapologetically said, “They were not your letters but mine. They were for me alone, no one else, so I destroyed them.” Gone! Just like that! What was in them? I wondered And yet, as I reached through her clothes, books, photos, the many possessions of a long life, I can see her point: she had a right to keep something of herself from the rest of us. Even though I wish she hadn’t, she possessed and protected her very private feelings in her own inner safe. Take everything else, she said in effect, but not those. ‎ ‎28. Why did the author take away the jewellery on her mother’s clothes?‎ A. Because she wanted to sell them. ‎ B. Because her mother passed away, ‎ C. Because she liked them very much. ‎ D. Because her mother asked her to do so. ‎ ‎29. What does the underlined part “time-honored pairings” in Paragraph 2 probably refer to?‎ A. Her mother and her father. B. The author and her mother. ‎ C. The jewellery and the letters. D. The jewellery and her mother’s clothes. ‎ ‎30. According to the author, why did her mother destroy the letters?‎ A. Because her father had passed away. ‎ B. Because her mother thought they were useless. ‎ C. Because her mother wanted to keep them to herself. ‎ D. Because those letters were hard to recognize over time. ‎ ‎31. What may be the best title for the text?‎ A. Mother’s love. B. The “Thief” in me. ‎ C. Destroyed letters. D. Mother’s jewellery. ‎ D Readers occasionally express concern about articles referring to the president as “Mr. Trump.”‎ They believe it is disrespectful to call him “Mr.” rather than “President” Trump. The complaint isn’t new to me. For years, we got complaints that our references to “Mr. Obama” betrayed our disrespect for him, and “Mr. Bush” made some readers suspect that we were showing our disdain for that president.‎ I’m not sure whether my long-ago predecessors（前任）got similar complaints about “Mr. Lincoln.” But I can assure readers that we have been consistent in how we refer to an incumbent（现任者）president: It’s “President Trump” on first reference, and “Mr. Trump” or “the president” (lowercase) thereafter.‎ In fact, most news organizations dispense with the “Mr.” altogether and simply call the president “Trump” after the first reference. The Times is among the few publishers still using courtesy（谦辞）titles like “Mr.” or “Ms.”. Some readers like the tone of politeness and seriousness the titles convey, others are just confused.‎ Besides questions about the president, readers have questioned about our references to the White House chief of staff. The Times follows tradition and continues to use the titles “General” and “Admiral” for retired military officers while an exception will be made for those who take civilian positions – the defense secretary, Jim Mattis, a retired Marine general, is “Mr. Mattis.” The idea is to make it clear that the official is serving in a civilian role, not a military one. By contrast, Mr. Trump’s national security adviser, H. R. McMaster, is still “General McMaster” because he remains on active duty in the Army.‎ ‎28. Which one is NOT true about the complaints expressed by some readers?‎ A. They didn’t think the author respect President Trump.‎ B. They may have criticized the author since “Mr. Obama”.‎ C. They have shown the concern since “Mr. Lincoln”.‎ D. They have might prefer “the president” to Mr. Trump”.‎ ‎29. What’s the meaning of the underlined phrase in the forth paragraph?‎ A. Give up. B. Hold up. C. Do with. D. Go with.‎ ‎30. Which one of the statements is RIGHT referring to courtesy titles in this passage?‎ A. These titles are used in quite a few newspapers such as The Times.‎ B. Not many people like the respectful and thoughtful tone the titles convey.‎ C. The Times uses the title “Admiral” for retired military officers consistently.‎ D. When called “General. McMaster”, H. R. McMaster is only serving in the Army.‎ ‎31. What’s the author’s attitude towards the complaints?‎ A. Indifferent. B. Critical. C. Subjective. D. Objective.‎ 第二节（共5小题：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。‎ Global Positioning System (GPS) is now a part of everyday driving in many countries. It is a space-based system that provides position and time information in all weather conditions. GPS can help people get to where they want to go. 36 When this happens, the driver is often to blame. Sometimes a GPS error is responsible. Most often, it is a combination of the two.‎ ‎ 37 Barry Brown, a GPS technologist, took an incident as an example. His friend once flew to an airport in the eastern United States. There he borrowed a GPS-equipped car to use. He wrongly plugged in the home address in the west. It wasn't until he was driving for thirty minutes that he realized it. Mr. Brown says this is a common human error. But he says, “One problem is that GPS has a very small screen and it can just tell you the next turn. 38 ”‎ ‎“The Normal and Natural Troubles of Driving with GPS” lists several areas where GPS can cause difficulties. They include maps that are outdated, incorrect or difficult to understand. 39 GPS may fail due to these reasons and then lead to confusion for the drivers.‎ Although GPS sometimes causes difficulties when people are driving, the most attractive point of this system is its 100% coverage on the planet. It is important for you to have to know what you are doing when you use GPS. You need to have the “ability” to be able to use GPS because it sometimes goes wrong. 40 ‎ A. There are quite a few situations showing the problems of using GPS.‎ B. That means that it is not really telling you about going to the wrong place.‎ C. This space-based system is an important tool for civil and commercial users.‎ D. They also contain timing problems related to when GPS commands are given.‎ E. But sometimes it sends you to the wrong place or leaves you completely lost.‎ F. Advances in technology play an active role in modernizing GPS in many ways.‎ G. To make GPS well used, you need a good understanding of how drivers and GPS work.‎ 第三部分 英语知识运用（共两节，满分45分）‎ 第一节 完形填空（共20小题；每题1.5分，满分30分）‎ 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项(A, B, C和D)中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。‎ On June 17, 2012, my daughter gave me a new wallet as a Father’s Day present.
