1.Laziness is a state of inaction.It is something that you do,not something that you are.Being lazy means you have no motivation to do anything.Many people make the mistake that they view themselves as lazy.
Lazy people are often seen as useless.They are the ones who don't do anything.They can be seen as underachievers or even bums(廢物).This can be a child or an adult.You can view a student who never studies as lazy.You can see an employee who doesn't do his work as lazy.In all of these cases,what the lazy person is doing is being lazy.But are they really being lazy or are they acting lazy?
There is a huge different between saying you act lazy sometimes and you are a lazy person.One is suggesting that your laziness is temporary while the other suggests that it's permanent.This is the myth of laziness.People who are lazy aren't; they simply are people who are temporarily acting that way.
So that causes a person to be inactive?The answer is a lack of goals.If you give someone a good enough reason to do something,they will do it.People who don't seem to do anything just haven't found a good enough reason to do something.Lazy students don't study because they don't see the point in studying.If you give them a reason,a strong enough reason,they will take action.
For example,if you are too lazy to go to the gym,would you go if someone offered you a million dollars to go?If you are too lazy to go to clean out the garage,would someone pointing a gun to your head help you take action?The reason can be positive or negative as long as it's strong enough to induce(引起)action.
To motivate someone who is lazy,what you need to do is to help them find purpose and enough reasons to work towards a certain goal.

28.According to the passage,who can be viewed as acting lazy?D
A.A student who always cheats out the garage.
B.A husband who never cleans out the garage.
C.A clerk who si always scolded for being useless.
D.A mother who doesn't feel like cooking on Sunday.
29.The main reason why people are not active is thatA.
A.they are aimless
B.they lack enough money
C.they have too many negative feelings
D.they find no point in learning new things
30.The purpose of the writing is to help readersB.
A.to recognize one's weakness
B.to see laziness in a different way
C.to have a clear idea about what a habit is
D.to inspire students to be hard-working
31.What is the best title for the text?B
A.Being lazy and cat lazy
B.Laziness and motivation
C.Temporary and permanent.
D.Being positive and negative.

分析 本文屬于說明文閱讀,作者通過這篇文章主要向我們描述了導致人變懶惰的原因是沒有明確的目標,要想改變這種狀態(tài)就要為他找到明確的目標.

解答 28.D.推理判斷題.根據(jù)第三段One is suggesting that your laziness is temporary while the other suggests that it's permanent可知懶惰是暫時的,因此一個母親星期日不想做飯可視為懶惰;故選D.
29.A.細節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)第四段So that causes a person to be inactive?The answer is a lack of goals可知人們不活躍的主要原因是他們都是盲目的;故選A.
30.B.推理判斷題.根據(jù)最后一段To motivate someone who is lazy,what you need to do is to help them find purpose and enough reasons to work towards a certain goal可知文章的主要目的是用不同的方式看懶惰;故選B.
31.B.推理判斷題.根據(jù)最后一段To motivate someone who is lazy,what you need to do is to help them find purpose and enough reasons to work towards a certain goal可知文章的最佳標題為懶惰和動機;故選B.

點評 考察學生的細節(jié)理解和推理判斷能力,做細節(jié)理解題時一定要找到文章中的原句,和題干進行比較,再做出正確的選擇.在做推理判斷題不要以個人的主觀想象代替文章的事實,要根據(jù)文章事實進行合乎邏輯的推理判斷.

16.How will traditional print media forge a working relationship with news websites in the digital age?This is a question that both sides need to consider from a long-term viewpoint.
The conviction(定罪) of a software developer for going against the property rights of the Beijing News by using what the newspaper had published on its iPad service reveals only a tip of the iceberg when it comes to the illegal use of print media's content by news websites.In this case,the software developer used content published by 60 papers without their knowledge.
The Beijing News won the case and the intellectual property rights violator was ordered to pay 100,000 yuan in compensation.If anything,this can be considered a minor victory for the Beijing News,compared to its three similar suits over the past decade.
Yet,the Beijing News is alone in the fight.Other media outlets choose to turn a blind eye to the piracy because they wouldn't bother to take the lot of time and energy for the lawsuit with a likely compensation that might not be enough to cover the costs for winning the case.
Considering this situation,print media and news websites must work out a way to cooperate in a manner that will benefit both.
In the long run,it will be impossible and impractical for news websites to live on print media.With the progress protecting intellectual property rights in recent years,there will be no way for them to use the content free of charge all the time.They must find a way to cooperate with traditional print media in such a way that they can legally use their resources.
For the part of print media outlets,they must rise up to protect their rights for their own existence.There should be an environment to make it very costly for whoever threatens intellectual property rights.Then most print media organizations could afford to bring violators to court.On the other hand,costly,time-consuming and troublesome as such suits are,more print media must rise up so that more pressure will put on both the violators and the courts.Then they will be able to improve the environment for themselves and break the illegal cycle.

56.How many suits has Beijing News ever lodged(提起)?C
A.Only one.
B.Exactly three.
C.At least four.
D.More than five.
57.Which of the following can be a reason for there to be few such suits?B
A.The court doesn't pay much attention to such boring suits as usually last a long time.
B.Print media outlets don't think it worth thei r efforts.
C.Engineers on the news websites are usually far cleverer to win such cases.
D.There are few examples of winning such suits.
58.Why does the author insist that more news media should rise up?C
A.They can receive a certain compensation for their intellectual property rights.
B.They should try their best to trouble the courts with more pressure.
C.Their joint efforts can lead to a better environment for their own existence.
D.The piracy of the news websites is no longer tolerable.
59.What's probably the meaning of the underlined word"violator"in the third paragraph?D
A.Somebody who makes a lot of money against the law.
B.Somebody who keeps something secret from others.
C.A person who is determined to publish news illegally.
D.A person who does something against the law.

6.How much empathy(共鳴)do you feel towards other people?If you saw someone fall off their bike in traffic,would you stop and help-or just walk away?Many people would give into coldness,go about their business and just do nothing.So it was a big surprise when about 100 by standers got together recently to move a bus in east London to help a cyclist trapped under it.A video of theincident went viral on social media.
According to Zoheb,a driver who stopped his car to take part in the rescue,about fivepeople gathered to move the bus.He says:"There was no chance we could do it,it was more an invitation for other people to help,really."
The initiative(主動能力)paid off.Diners from nearby restaurants joined in.There wasn't much coordination but it didn't take long to develop a collective understanding of what the objective was.
Spontaneous(自發(fā)的)cooperation among strangers doesn't happen often.People in a crowd are not sure what to do-they don't have a plan.It's one of the reasons,bystanders often do nothing,according to Dr Mark Levine,professor of social psychology at Exeter University inBritain."The presence of others can prevent you from helping",he says.
"The keyto positive group behaviour,"Levine explains,"isbuilding a sense of shared identity.Action has to be decided quickly."Levinesays."Thelonger you leave it,the harder it is to make adecision.If youdon't immediately act then you kind of think'Well,actually I probably couldn't have done anything anyway'."
But the people whotookthe initiative like Zobeb might make a difference.The cyclist ended up in hospital and the images of the collective effort might inspire others to more acts of unity.

24.Why did the author say it was a big surprise when the rescue was made?A
A.So many people gave a hand.
B.Many by standers did no thing.
C.It spread on social media.
D.It didn't catch people's attention.
25.Which of the following best describes the driver Zoheb according to the text?B
A.Generous.
B.Kind-hearted.
C.Optimistic.
D.Easy-going.
26.Why do people give in to coldness when they should be helping according to Levine?C
A.They don't know how to give first aid.
B.Nobody wants to be the first to offer help.
C.Strangers seldom cooperate with each other.
D.They are forbidden from helping.
27.What can we learn from the text?D
A.The sense of shared identity makes no difference.
B.It's not necessary to make a quick decision.
C.It's impossible for strangers to cooperate.
D.Collective effort is inspiring.

13.SCIENTISTS study it;an increasing number of self-help books tell us the way to find it.In fact,the pursuit of happiness has been called the ultimate goal in life by countless talks,TV shows and newspaper and magazine columns.However,happiness,as it was before,is still hard to find.
US psychologist Ed Diener,author of Happiness:Unlocking the Mysteries of Psychological Wealth,may have the answer:"a combination of life satisfaction and having more positive than negative emotions".However,this may sound straightforward enough,but it still doesn't explain what determines people's happiness.And as The Washington Post argued in an article earlier this month,creating a definition of happiness that is true for people around the world can seem as difficult as being happy.For example,who is happier:someone who has enough money to buy a new mobile phone or someone who has a family dinner after years away from home?
Nevertheless,as many surveys suggest,one of the most important parts of happiness is wealth.The UN's World Happiness Report 2015 shows that countries with the highest levels of happiness are developed ones,with Switzerland,Iceland and Denmark making up the top three.But on the other hand,Bhutan,one of the poorest countries in the world,was named the happiest country in Asia and the eighth happiest in the world in research by Business Week in 2012.
Perhaps the biggest problem is how the idea of"happiness"varies in different cultures and languages.
As The Washington Post noted,the word"happy"can refer to different things in English.It might mean a brief mood you feel when someone surprises you with a gift or you think of friends and family.Or it could refer to satisfaction with your life.But not all languages refer to happiness the same way.In Danish,for example,happiness is often translated as"lykke",a term that can describe everyday well-being that might come from a nice cup of coffee or a slice of bread with cheese.In Chinese,the word for happiness is xingfu,which is used to describe a good life and a life with meaning.For a good mood,however,kuaile is used more often.
Another difference in the perception of happiness,as The Washington Post put it,is that Western countries tend to have quite an"individualistic view of human life".In China and many other Asian countries,social relationships,with family in particular,are one of the most important factors in a person's well-being.
So,are you happy?And what makes you happy?

32.What does"happiness"in Chinese mean according to the article?D
A.Individualistic view of human life.
B.Everyday well-being.
C.A combination of satisfaction.
D.A good life with meaning.
33.How do Chinese people and people from Western countries view happiness differently?C
A.Wealth is regarded as the most important source of happiness in Western countries.
B.Social interaction plays a more important role in a person's well-being in Western countries than in China.
C.Family bonds are believed to be closely connected to a person's well-being in China.
D.Chinese people get more happiness from their personal achievements than people from Western countries do.
34.How is the article mainly developed?A
A.By giving examples.
B.By analyzing cause and effect.
C.By following the order of time.
D.By asking and answering questions.
35.Which one is true according to the article?B
A.It is harder to find happiness than ever.
B.All languages don't look at happiness in the same way.
C.It's safe to say that happiness lies in wealth.
D.It's not hard to give a universal definition of happiness across the world.
