Minimalism (簡約主義) is a term that describes movements in various forms of art and design, especially visual art and music, where the work is reduced to its most basic features.
As for me, minimalism functions well not in art or design, but in my daily life.
When I was packing for university, I found it extremely difficult to let go of some of the things I owned. I knew I couldn’t take everything with me, but I kept asking myself “how could I possibly throw this away?”, “what if I need it one day?”, and “what about all of the memories?” Now that I’ve moved, and left that stuff behind, I don’t even miss it. Whether or not I got rid of it, it barely makes a bit of difference to me now.
I’ve learned that over time people forget, or their need for a particular object eventually disappears. Either they store it away or they get rid of it.
You might think nostalgically(懷舊的) about the toys you cared about when you were a child, but what is making you smile now is not the thing itself but the memory of it. 1’ve heard it a hundred times, “you don’t need things to make you happy.” It takes something life-changing like moving across the country to realize how true this is.
Speaking of which, for a lot of people, minimalism is about able to move. It’s about being able to go almost anywhere at any time because you don’t have many possessions to carry. When you keep things you don’t need they become a burden that ties you to a place. Moving to university was a good time to let go of a lot of stuff. And when I visit for the holidays, I’ll probably get rid of even more, to lighten the burden.
Of course there are exceptions. There are some things that are irreplaceable, very rare or expensive or we simply love and cherish for some reason or another, since we are humans. But after we keep those, how much is left that we don’t really need?
Hence, minimalism. And why does minimalism bring happiness? That was a bit of a roundabout way of saying that, it’s because what really makes me happy is freedom. And the key to freedom is minimalism because minimalism reduces our attachment to things.
Attachment to too many objects creates a great mess and can severely hold back our freedom to do whatever we want, while minimalism helps us start new projects, move, travel, learn new things, work, expand, be debt-free, be healthy – really living life to our full potential.
I left the nest to fly onwards and upwards, I can’t do it with old things weighing me down. And that is why I have adopted minimalism with open arms.
【小題1】In paragraph l, the writer gives the definition of minimalism to      .

A.It takes the burden off her while she is moving.
B.It reduces her attachment to her personal things.

If you are planning to study in the United States, you need to consider several factors. Everyone has different opinions about where is the best place to live in. Also, the best places to live are not always home to the best schools. Finally, many schools specialize in different areas of study. The Massachusetts Institute of Technology, for example, is a great school for computer science and technology-related fields of study. However, if you want to study oceanography(海洋學(xué)), your interests may be better served by attending school in a place that is on a coastline or near the ocean.
Now I am sure that you know which schools are considered the best in the country. So I will tell you about which states I believe are the best to live in.
California is a nice state. Northern California specifically has very good weather. Los Angeles in Southern California is another story though. Life in Los Angeles is full of excitement and fast, and sometimes dangerous. As for me, I enjoy the time I spent in Massachusetts, Virginia and Maryland and these states have a lot of history and culture. The weather is not as perfect as California, but it is still quite nice. My favorite area of America is the Mid-west. Middle America, I think, is home to the true American sense of values. In addition, there are many good universities there.
Also, you need to think about your likes and dislikes and then research the various states. You like sunshine and hate snow? Then you probably won’t like the Midwest or even the Northeast. Open space, nature and peace and quiet? Then you probably should stay away from America’s large cities. Are you interested in government? Then Washington D.C. is the only place for you. Whatever you decide, put some thought into it. The place you live could be the difference between a great study-abroad experience and a state of great suffering on earth.
【小題1】From the first paragraph we can conclude (得出結(jié)論)that in the USA _______.

A.a(chǎn)ll colleges and universities lie in big cities
B.a(chǎn)ll colleges and universities lie in beautiful places
C.famous colleges and universities lie in nice places
D.famous colleges and universities may not lie in nice places
【小題2】What should be considered first if you want to study in the USA?
A.The climate.B.The scenery.C.The study condition.D.The living condition.
【小題3】From the third paragraph we can find that _______.
A.California is the best place to live in
B.California is the worst place to live in
C.California is a state with different climates
D.California is a small state in the USA
【小題4】If you study in Middle America, you can probably _______.
A.find the best universitiesB.feel the real character of the nation
C.meet the most famous professors thereD.face more difficulties
【小題5】 From the last paragraph of this passage we can get to know that _______.
A.Washington is the largest city in the USA
B.Washington is the political centre of the USA
C.you can’t find sunshine in the Midwest
D.you can’t find any universities out of big cities in the USA

第一節(jié) 閱讀理解(共15小題;每小題2分,滿分30分)

閱讀下列短文,從每題所給的A、B、C和D項中,選出最佳選項,并在答題號上將該項涂黑。

Living an Adventurous Life

Nearly ten years ago, I was told that I had a brain tumor (瘤), and this experience changed my attitude about adventure forever. I thought that I was going to die and that all my adventures were over. I did not have a brain tumor, it turned out, but rather multiple sclerosis (多發(fā)性硬化癥), which meant that, although they were not over,the nature of my adventures could have to change.

Each morning that I wake up is a fresh event, something that I might not have

had. Each gesture that I make carries the weight of uncertainty and demands significant attention: buttoning my shirt, changing a light bulb, walking down stairs. I might not be able to do it this time. If I could not delight in them, they would likely drown me in anger and in self-pity.

I admire the grand adventures of others. I read about them with interest. With Peter Matthiessen I have hiked across the Himalayas to the Crystal Mountain. I have walked with Annie Dillard up, down, into, and across Tinker Creek in all Seasons. David Bain has gone with me along 110 miles of Philippine coast, and Ed Abbey has

rowed me down the Colorado River, I enjoy the adventures of these courageous figures, who can strike out on difficult trips - 2 miles, 250 miles, 3000 miles - ready to bear cold and tiredness - indeed not just to bear but to celebrate.

But as for me, I can no longer walk very far from the armchair in which I read. Some days I don't even make it to the backyard. And yet I'm unwilling to give up the adventurous life, the difficulty of it, even the pain, the anxiety and fear, aud the sudden brief lift of spirit that makes a hard journey more attractive.

I refine adventure, make it smaller and smaller. And now, whether I am moving on my hands and knees across the dining room to help my cat, lying wide-eyed in the dark battling another period of sadness, gathering flowers from the garden, meeting a friend for lunch, I am always having the adventures that are mine to have.

41. What happens to the author after her illness?

A. She has a fear of medical treatments.    B. She travels to places she has dreamed.

C. She can't take care of herself any longer   D. She is not drowned in anger and self-pity.

42. Why does the author admire the people mentioned in paragraph 3?

A. Because they write popular novels.    B. Because they are great adventurers.

C. Because they are famous geographers.   D. Because they struggle with hardship in life

43. The author ends the article with a feeling of______

A. sadness      B. sacrifice       C. security      D. satisfaction

44. What does "adventurous life" in the title mean to the author?

A. The struggles of great people against difficulties.

B. Her concern about giving up certain activities.

C. Her adapting to the situation with an illness.

D. The exciting traveling experience of others.

45. What conclusion can we draw from the passage?

A. Travel can enrich a person's life.

B. Reading is an activity that a patient enjoys most.

C. A positive attitude can improve a difficult situation.

D. A person's ability can be improved through reading.
