Passage 1 A happy life and a meaningful life are not the same. Leading a happy life is associated with being a "taker", while leading a meaningful life corresponds with being a "giver". Happiness is about feeling good and getting what we want. People who are happy tend to think that life is easy. They are in good physical health and able to buy the things that they need and want. Happiness is about satisfying our needs and desires. The pursuit(追求) of happiness is often associated with selfish behavior. Animals have needs and desires and they can feel happy too. What sets human beings apart from animals is not the pursuit of happiness, but the pursuit of meaning, which is unique to humans. We can often find meaning in helping others or making a sacrifice (牺牲) for a "greater good". Meaning often comes at the expense of happiness. When people have invested themselves in something bigger than themselves, they worry more and have higher levels of stress and anxiety in their lives than happy people. Volunteering (做义工) in rural schools, for example, is meaningful but also involves hardship. Happiness, like any emotion, is felt in the here and now—it eventually fades away. However, meaning is enduring. It connects the past to the present to the future.
1. What is the main idea of the passage?
A.A happy life is basically different from a meaningful life.

Passage 2 Our traditional belief has it that morning larks are most likely to he healthy, wealthy and wise. But those who are early to bed and early to rise do not always have the upper hand (占上风). Researchers have revealed that night owls (夜猫子) are generally brighter and wealthier than those able to get up early in the morning. Experts examined the habits of 1000 youngsters to determine whether they liked to stay up late and sleep in later in the morning, or preferred to go to bed early. School performance and inductive (归纳的) reasoning were measured and academic (学业的) grades in the major subjects were also taken into consideration. The results show that evening types score higher than morning types on inductive reasoning, which has been shown to be a good estimate of general intelligence and academic performance The night owls also have a greater capacity to think conceptually (概念性地) and analyze. Such abilities have been linked to creative thinking, better jobs and higher incomes. Morning larks, however, often get better exam results in school, possibly because lessons are held at wrong time of day for night owls.

A B C D
C
[考点] 推理判断题 [解析] 根据文章第二段第一句“Experts examined the habits of 1000 youngsters...to go to bed early.”可知，专家做此调查是为了确定他们是不是晚睡晚起的人(夜猫子)，故选C。

D
[考点] 推理判断题 [解析] 由文章最后一句“Morning larks, however, often get better exam results in school, possibly because lessons are held at wrong time of day for night owls.”可知，早睡早起型的人考试成绩较好可能是因为对于“夜猫子”课程设置不符合他们的作息规律，由此可推知也可能是因为课程设置比较符合早睡早起型的人的生物钟，故选D。
Passage 3 While drunken driving may be decreasing, traffic safety experts remain troubled over how to cope with another alcohol-related problem: drunken pedestrian (行人). Studies have shown that pedestrians injured and killed by ears are often extremely drunk. Some types of pedestrian accidents have been decreasing in the U. S., especially those involving children, but the number of drunken adult pedestrians killed in traffic has remained relatively constant at 2500 a year. The total number of pedestrians killed annually in traffic accidents is at least 7000 or one of every seven highway deaths. Studies have revealed some of the causes, including a lack of adult supervision (监督) for children, long delays in traffic signals that encourage jaywalking (无视交通规则任意行走), less attention paid to pedestrian accidents in the past, and few methods to regulate walking habits. However, the most challenging problem, according to some experts, is alcohol-related, although pulled, researchers are making great efforts to find ways against the drunken pedestrian accidents.

Passage 4 In writing Smart Thinking, I myself learnt as much as I would hope for its readers and so, in the end, it was an easy decision to produce a new edition. This second edition reflects my experiences of teaching with Smart Thinking over the years since it was first published. In revising it, I have found that much of the first edition remains valuable, and that students have learnt much from it. But I have also made some significant changes. Greater assistance has been provided in the earlier chapters of this edition to help readers with more complicated skills, and later chapters on reasoning and on research have been expanded. The final chapter is now a fully worked example of the skills offering a model of the power of the approach I am outlining. I would hope that readers will now find the journey towards greater ability in critical thinking and reasoning a little bit easier, and with a clearer goal ahead.

Section B Directions:The following is a short passage about healthy habits for TV. After reading the passage, you are required to complete each of the five statements within three words. The answers should be written after the corresponding numbers on the Answer Sheet. Television, if under proper supervision (监督), can be excellent source of education and entertainment for kids. But too much time on TV can have unhealthy side effects. Here are some practical ways to make kids' TV time more effective. ●Stock the room in which you have your TV with plenty of other non-screen entertainment to encourage kids to do something other than watch TV. ●Treat TV as a privilege (特权) that kids need to earn. Tell them that TV viewing is allowed only after their homework has been completed. ●Choose shows that develop your kids' interest in hobbies and learning. Then preview the programs to make sure they're proper before your kids watch them. ●Come up with a family TV schedule. Make sure to turn off the TV when the "scheduled" programs are over instead of watching something else on TV. ●Watch TV with your kids and talk to them about what they see on TV and share your own beliefs and values, asking them thought-provoking (令人深省的) questions.

Part Ⅳ Translation Directions:You are required to read the following passage and translate the underlined sentences into Chinese. Remember to write your translation in the corresponding space on the Answer Sheet. While 1 "Tiger Mom" once aroused a huge wave of debate around the world, the opposite method from Finland's(芬兰) education system is also drawing widespread attention. This kind of educational mode is called "Sheep Mom". "Sheep Morn" refers to an extensive way of education that sets only basic objectives but no core syllabus(教学大纲). 2 Teachers can feel free to use any teaching method as long as most children can reach the goals. 3 People in Finland firmly believe that education is a "service" and children are "customers". 4 Since the education mode in Finland is basically like "sheep-herding" (放羊), it is also called "Sheep Mom". The result of "sheep-herding" can not be underestimated (低估). In the last four international Program for International Student Assessment (PISA) test, students from Finland all ranked in the top three in math, reading and science. 5 This report not only surprised the world, but also shocked people in Finland. 6 In other words, Finland's education system, which least encourages competition, cultivates the most competitive children.

A Letter of Appeal
April 14, 2013
Dear teachers and students, What a pity to see much waste in our university! There are lots of lights left on after leaving, many taps left on after cleaning and leftovers thrown away after dining. Hence, we sincerely put forward the following proposals: 1. All students and staff should spare no effort to increase our economical awareness. 2. Let us begin with tiny things at once. From now on, we should turn off lights and taps in time, get a doggie bag if there is food left over after meals, and stop using air-conditioners if it is unnecessary. 3. We should develop the good habits of saving water, electricity, food and other things around US. Let's get started together now; let's help to build a beautiful campus hand in hand.
