Ⅱ.阅读七选五
Too often an inappropriate view gets around us that it is our physical conditions that make us happy or unhappy. As a consequence, physical conditions have been overstated.
__1__， that is, good standard of living, high goals that we want to obtain, surrounding
ourselves with a nice house, nice car, nice clothes, etc. __2__. But many times once we obtain our goals and are surrounded by what we thought would make us happy, we are still unhappy.
Also on the other end of the stick, many, many people are unhappy now, because they have not obtained their goals and __3__， which, consequently, adds to their dissatisfaction with life.
So this is why so many people keep themselves for most of their lives in a state of “incompleteness” and unhappiness, and this is why so many super successful people still aren't happy. The reason is that __4__. They think that the Universe should give them what they want first and then they'll be happy. But that just puts a barrier in between them and happiness because of the way the Universe is set up.
The message here is to understand that your desires tell you where you want to put your focus in your life, however, __5__. You make yourself happy from the inside out, not the outside in. Do not require certain conditions be met for your happiness, because it won't work anyway.
A．We have different ways to get what really makes us happy B．they don't have what they want in life
C．We set out to get happy by trying to control all the wonderful conditions around ourselves D．they are never there to be found in life
E．they should not control your happiness in this moment F．We may think this is the key to our happiness G．they don't realize how to get happy
语篇解读：本文是一篇议论文。本文谈论的是人们认为的幸福实际上并没有给人们带来幸福，作者就如何才能得到真正的幸福提出了自己的观点。
1．选C 根据上文中的“physical conditions”及下文中的“good standard of living ...nice clothes”可知，C项“我们通过努力掌控我们身边美好的物质条件来获取幸福”与上文相呼应，与“that is”后面的解释也一致。故选C。
2．选F 根据语境可知，很多时候当我们拥有了良好的生活标准，实现了我们想要的目标，拥有了漂亮的房子、车子、衣服时，我们可能就认为这是幸福的关键所在了。F项“我们可能会认为这就是幸福的关键了”衔接上文，并与下文构成转折，符合语境。故选F。
3．选B 根据语境可知，此处分析了不快乐的人的心理。根据“because they have not obtained their goals”可知，许多人不快乐是因为没有达到目标，and连接和前面并列的内容。B项“他们没有拥有生活中想要的”也是人们不快乐的原因，并且和下文联系紧密。故选B。
4．选G 上文提到，拥有了良好物质条件的人仍然感到不幸福，没有达到目标的人也感到不幸福，此处作者给出他们感到不幸福的理由，因为“他们没有意识到如何获得快乐”。由此可知，G项与上文衔接紧密。故选G。
5．选E 上文提到，本文传递的信息就是要让你明白，你的欲望会告诉你，在生活中要看重什么。由however可知，后面的内容应与前面的叙述形成对比，所以E项“这时这
些欲望不应该左右你的幸福感”符合语境。故选E。
Ⅲ.语法填空

语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文。文章叙述了作者的暑期中国之旅并具体介绍了游玩的城市及景点。
1．expectation(s) live up to one's expectation(s)是固定用法，意为“达到某人的期望”。故填expectation(s)。
2．its 空格处指代上句中的“Yunnan”，且minority villages, impressive landscapes和Yunnan之间是所属关系，故用形容词性物主代词its。
3．enjoyable 根据空格后的名词“moments”可知，空格处应用形容词，意为“愉快的”。故填enjoyable。
4．but 句意：虽然爬上峡谷有时让人筋疲力尽，但总是让人兴奋不已。根据句意可知，空格前后之间为转折关系。故填but。
5．be imagined 句子的主语The views和动词imagine之间为被动关系，故用被动语态；情态动词could后用动词原形。故填be imagined。
6．left 此处叙述的是过去发生的事，应用一般过去时。故填left。
7．the 根据“island province of Hainan”可知，这里特指海南岛，故用定冠词the。 8．relaxing 空格处修饰名词“experiences”，应用形容词，意为“令人放松的”。故填relaxing。
9．examples 根据该句主语“Lijiang and Dali”可知，此处应用名词的复数形式。故填
examples。
10．what 分析该句结构可知，空格处引导的宾语从句作介词of的宾语；空格处在从句中作looked like的宾语，意为“……的样子”。故用what引导该宾语从句。
Ⅳ.概要写作
阅读下面短文，根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。
The modern garden has a history going back many thousands of years.Early humans were hunters and gatherers, and didn't usually stay in one place for a long time.Instead, they travelled from place to place following the food according to the seasons.During the Neolithic Period this slowly began to change; humans started to grow certain plants, which meant they could remain in one place and grow their own food.The first“garden”was a vegetable garden, where early humans grew different types of plants for food.
Early agriculture in Europe not only included edible (可食用的) plants such as wheat or lentils , but also included many decorative plants for other purposes.Plants for medicine were grown, as were herbs and spices for flavoring or preserving food.Certain plants also had religious or spiritual value and were grown not only because they were useful or edible.Growing plants not only for food was the beginning of gardening.
Gardens today are beautiful places to go and relax, but have had many purposes over the years.In the past, they were planted to honor the gods, or used in religious ceremonies such as funerals and weddings.They were also a way to show that their owners were rich or powerful.Ancient rulers created huge gardens to display their wealth, in the same way that large palaces were symbols of prosperity.In Roman times the garden became an extension of the house, representing the owner's status in society, rather than a holy place.
As gardens have developed, design and beauty have become more and more important.Humans have learnt to control nature and to design gardens carefully, like creating a work of art or a building.The Gardens of Versailles in France are an excellent example of “garden architecture”； everything is symmetrical (对称的) and even the trees are pruned to fit in with the design.
参考范文：
Modern gardens date back to the times when early humans got down to growing their own food.(要点1) And when people grew plants not only for foods but also for other purposes, gardening began.(要点2) While ancient gardens were more for religious purposes, or a symbol of wealth, power or social status, a modern garden is more a relaxing place.(要点3) With time going on, people really value gardens' design and beauty, and gardening develops like “an art form”．(要点4)
