They believe that charitable activity produces a very mild version of the sensations people get from drugs like morphine and heroin. The happiness difference between givers and nongivers is not due to differences in their personal characteristics, such as ine or religion. Imagine two people who are identical in terms of ine and faith, as well as age, education, politics, sex, and family circumstances, but one donates money and volunteers, while the other does not. The giver will be, on average, over 40 percentage points more likely to be very happy than the nongivers. Americans gave nearly $300 billion away last year. Do you know the reason? Beyond the noble goals of helping others, it is that giving will make them happier. 【點(diǎn)評(píng)】本題考點(diǎn)涉及細(xì)節(jié)理解，推理判斷和主旨大意三個(gè)題型的考查，是一篇文化類閱讀，要求考生在捕捉細(xì)節(jié)信息的基礎(chǔ)上，進(jìn)一步根據(jù)上下文的邏輯關(guān)系，進(jìn)行分析，推理，概括和歸納，從而選出正確答案。從文中各段的描述看，本文主要講的是美國(guó)的音樂種類。故選D。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段中的“This was started by cowboys who would sing at night to the cows they were ，any music about country life and the love between a country boy and his girl is called western or country music.”可知，如今的鄉(xiāng)村音樂與過去是不同的。故選A。A項(xiàng)正確。 （2）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第一段中的“Music is an international songs that are sung or played by instruments are beautiful to all people everywhere”可知，音樂是一種世界性的語言，用樂器演唱或演奏的歌曲對(duì)世界各地的人們來說都是美麗的，因此推斷美妙的歌曲深受世界人民的歡迎。s the best title of the passage? language. in America. music. listeners.【答案】 （1）B（2）A（3）D（4）B 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇說明文，介紹了美國(guó)的幾種音樂。 Besides pop music, there are two other kinds of music that is important to Americans. One is called folk music. It tells stories about the mon life of Americans. The other is called western or country music. This was started by cowboys who would sing at night to the cows they were watching. Today, any music about country life and the love between a country boy and his girl is called western or country music. Adult drivers listen to music on the car radio as they drive to work. They also listen to the news about sports, the weather, politics, and activities of the American people. But most of the radio broadcast is music. Music is an international language. The songs that are sung or played by instruments are beautiful to all people everywhere. 【點(diǎn)評(píng)】本題考點(diǎn)涉及細(xì)節(jié)理解和推理判斷兩個(gè)題型的考查，是一篇文化類閱讀，考生需要準(zhǔn)確掌握細(xì)節(jié)信息，并根據(jù)上下文進(jìn)行邏輯推理，從而選出正確答案。根據(jù)第三段中的“the songs are loved more for the memories they symbolize than for the way they sound, and that Colombia has been through so many dark periods in history, it was important to hold on to the good memories of years gone past.”可知哥倫比亞圣誕音樂讓人喜愛是因?yàn)樗鼈兯笳鞯挠洃洠且３謱?duì)過去歲月的美好記憶。故選A。 （3）考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。 （2）考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。圣誕節(jié)是團(tuán)聚的時(shí)間不是獨(dú)處的時(shí)間。 （1）考查推理判斷。t a time for being alone. is mainly devoted to religion.39。s the authors opinion of Christmas? isn39。Being in a country like Colombia during this festive period has taught me that you don39。 s homes. Cities are lit up by candles, as this day marks the beginning of the Christmas period. Although decorations have been up since early November, another tradition in Colombia is that during the nine days before Christmas, family members and friends meet up to pray, sing songs and share traditional foods at home. s easy to believe that as a worldwide festival, most countries probably celebrate it in a fairly similar manner. Being from the UK, Christmas for me means spending time with family and friends, exchanging presents, eating and drinking, and, of course, hiding from the cold. In Colombia, however, Christmas is viewed much more as a time which devotes itself to religion. 6．閱讀理解 根據(jù)最后一段中的“No pany has reached that level of autonomy, which means that a driverless car could navigate any road under any conditions and that all the human ‘driver’ would need to do is to input a destination. 可推出“Level 5 autonomy”將會(huì)讓人類司機(jī)解放，故選D。根據(jù)第三段中的“In fact, Musk has heard the ‘evil AI’ alarm several times. ”可猜測(cè)出“malicious”的意思是有害的，故選A。根據(jù)第二段中的“Musk will continue to “donate and advise the organization”可推知Eldon Musk對(duì)于AI的態(tài)度是同情，故選B。s leaving his position on the board of the Open AI, according to a blog post.”和第二段中的“adding that “As Tesla continues to bee more focused on AI, this will avoid a potential future conflict for Eldon.”可知Eldon Musk離開他的職位是為了避免可能和Tesla產(chǎn)生沖突，故D。(1)考查推理判斷。Level 5 autonomy could set human drivers free.【答案】（1）D（2）B（3）A（4）D 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇應(yīng)用文，介紹了傳奇人物埃隆The rumors about Tesla is meaningless.C.Level 5 autonomy is impossible.Traditional.（4）What can we infer from Eton Goodbye39。C.Unpopular.Sympathetic.（3）What does the underlined word “malicious” in Paragraph 3 mean?
