As a result of that, I decided to try to understand what happiness was and how best to achieve it. It was not surprising, then, that I decided to study psychology.‎ On arrival at the university, I was disappointed to find that academic psychologists were trying to understand human behaviour by studying rats in a lab. I felt that there must be other more useful ways of learning how we think and feel. I decided to build my career on trying to discover what made others happy. I started out by studying creative people such as musicians, artists and athletes because they were people who devoted their lives to doing what they wanted to do, rather than things that just brought them financial rewards.‎ Later, I expanded the study by inventing a system called “the experience sampling method”. Ordinary people were asked to keep an electronic pager (传呼机) for a week which gave out a beeping sound eight times a day. Every time it did so, they wrote down where they were, what they were doing, how they felt and how much they were concentrating. This system has now been used on more than 10,000 people, and the answers are consistent: as with creative people, ordinary people are happiest when concentrating hard.‎ I found that the most obvious cause of happiness is intense concentration. This must be the main reason why activities such as music, art, literature, sports and other forms of leisure have survived. In order to concentrate, whether you're reading a poem or building a sandcastle, what you need is a challenge that matches your ability. The way to remain continually happy, therefore, is to keep finding new opportunities to improve your skills. This may mean learning to do your job better or faster, or doing other more difficult jobs. As you grow older, you have to find new challenges which are more appropriate to your age.‎ 语篇解读:本文是一篇记叙文。作者经过研究发现人的幸福感来源于做事情的专注度。‎ ‎8.What led the author to study psychology?‎ A.His determination to become rich.‎ B.His observation of adults.‎ C.His unhappy childhood.‎ D.His interest in strangers.‎ 解析:选B 推理判断题。第一段提到作者小时候看到周围富有且受过教育的成年人并不总是快乐的,因而决定找到使人们获得快乐的途径,由此可推断:他对成年人的观察促使他学习心理学。‎ ‎9.Who were the author's study subjects at the start of his career?‎ A.People having deep affection for their career.‎ B.People very aware of their personal life.‎ C.People successful in acquiring wealth.‎ D.People with more freedom.‎ 解析:选A 推理判断题。由第二段中的“I started out by studying ... who devoted their lives to doing what they wanted to do”可知,作者开始选择的研究对象是热爱自己事业的人。‎ ‎10.The author used his system to show that ________.‎ A.people's happiness depends on who they are with B.people are happier when they focus on an activity C.creative people are happier than ordinary people D.ordinary people find it hard to concentrate 解析:选B 细节理解题。由第三段中的“as with creative people, ordinary people are happiest when concentrating hard”可知,作者采取经验取样法研究发现:普通人和有创造性的人一样,他们在集中精神做事情的时候最快乐。‎ ‎11.According to the text, people concentrate more when they are doing ________.‎ A.something strange and enjoyable B.something difficult but possible C.things appropriate to their ages D.many things at the same time 解析:选B 推理判断题。由最后一段中的“intense concentration”及“challenge that matches your ability”等可知,人们在做具有一定难度但又是自己能力所及的事情时精神最集中。‎ Ⅱ.阅读七选五 China has been the birthplace of many of the world's greatest inventions.It was, for example, the first country to produce paper money.Before the invention of paper money and coins, people used many different kinds of things for buying and selling.___1__This ‎ exchange of goods and services for other goods and services is called bartering (以物易物).‎ ‎___2__ In 1200 BC, people in China began to use shells (贝壳) as money.Usually the shells used as money were very small.This made it easier for people to carry money over long distances, and allowed for trade to develop between different parts of the country.‎ In the years which followed this invention, many other countries around the world began to do the same.___3__‎ The next development was in 1000 BC, when China started making bronze and copper shells.It wasn't long before the Chinese made round coins out of metal.___4__ By 500 BC, metal coins had begun to appear in countries like Persia and Greece, and later in the Roman Empire.‎ About 1000 years later, leather was used as money in China, and in 806 AD, the first paper banknotes were produced by the Chinese people.___5__‎ A.People also began collecting foreign coins as souvenirs.‎ B.However, as economies developed, such exchanges became impractical.‎ C.It was still many years before paper currency appeared in Europe.‎ D.They also used tiny shells as money for buying and selling.‎ E.As time went by, trade between countries increased.‎ F.During that time, for example, buying a chicken might cost several potatoes.‎ G.The very first coins often had holes in them so that people could string them together.‎ 语篇解读:本文讲述了货币在中国的发展过程,由实物交换到贝壳货币再到金属圆硬币,最后发明了纸币——中国成为世界上第一个制作纸币的国家。‎ ‎1.选F 结合文章语境可知,在纸币发明前人们用实物来买卖,F项就是对那个时代物物交换的一个举例说明。‎ ‎2.选B 根据下文的内容可知,在公元前1200年使用贝壳作为货币,很容易携带到远的地方。由此可见,上文应该提到随着经济发展,之前物物交换的方式不方便、不实用。分析选项可知B项符合题意。‎ ‎3.选D 根据上句内容,在这项发明之后的几年里,世界上许多其他国家也开始这样做,即也使用贝壳来作为货币。D项符合题意。‎ ‎4.选G 根据本空的上下文内容可知,这时货币出现了新的发展,即出现金属币。分析选项可知,G项指出最早的硬币上常有洞与本段coins同词复现,符合题意。‎ ‎5.选C 结合本段内容可知,纸币最早出现在中国。选项C项中提到了paper currency (纸币),且说明了中国纸币比欧洲纸币出现得更早,符合题意。‎
