”可知，文章主要介绍了密歇根州立大学的一项研究表明，冥想可以帮助你减少犯错的可能性，所以D项“冥想可以帮助你减少犯错的可能性”适合做文章标题，故选D。第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Everyoneatsometimefeelsthattheirlifeisgoingnowhereandfast.____16____Nothingcanbeatlivinganactive,purposeful,successfullifefilledwithhappinessandachievement.So,don’twastetime.Dothefollowingthingstomakeyourlifebetterandmoreenjoyable.Treatyourself.Itdoesn’tmatterifit’samealout,avisittoatheater,oravisittoaspa.Don’tmakeexcusesaboutnothavingtimeormoney.____17____It’snothardtoorganizesometimeinyourdayifyouwantto.Remember,nomoreexcuses!Youareworthit!Takeupahobby.Whenyouleadaboringlife,itisgreattohavesomethingtothinkaboutthattakesyouintoanotherworld.Hobbiesarebrilliantforgivingyousomethingdifferenttodothatyouenjoy.Ifyoulovetoread,devotetimetojustsittingwithabookandlosingyourselfinanimaginaryworld.Thewholepointofahobbyisthatitissomethingforyou.____18____Learnaskill.Learninganewskillisoneofthemostsatisfyingthingsyoucando.____19____Agreatwaytolearnaskillistojoinaclass.Notonlywillyoulearn,butyouwillmakenewfriends.Whetherit’slearningaforeignlanguageorplayingamusicalinstrument,therewillbeaclassnearyourhome.____20____Oftenwelosesightofthepositive,beneficialthingsinourlives.Everyonehasthingstobegratefulforandmakingalisthelpstoconcentrateyourmindonthesepositives.Sitdownwithapadandpencil,preferablyinaquietplacewhereyouwon’tbedisturbed.Allowyourselfafewminutestothinkaboutyourlifeandidentifythegoodthings.A.Staypositive．B.Createagratitudelist．C.Anditshouldn’tcostyoutoomuch．D.Treatscanbefree,andyoucanalwaysmaketime．E.Itistimetodosomethingtoincreasethequalityofyourlife．F.Itdoesn’tmatterwhatitisifyouenjoyitandcanbeabsorbedbyit．G.Youwillfeelasenseofachievementthatwillboostyourselfimage．【答案】16.E17.D18.F19.G20.B【解析】【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了几种让你的生活更美好、更愉快的方法。【16题详解】根据前文“Everyoneatsometimefeelsthattheirlifeisgoingnowhereandfast.(每个人都会在某个时候觉得自己的生活毫无进展——而且很快)”以及后文“Nothingcanbeatlivinganactive,purposeful,successfullifefilledwithhappinessandachievement.(没有什么能比过一种积极的、有目标的、充满快乐和成就的成功的生活更好的了)”可知，空处应是一个过渡句，将文章主题转向积极的生活。所以E项“Itistimetodosomethingtoincreasethequalityofyourlife.(是时候做点什么来提高你的生活质量了)”符合题意。故选E项。【17题详解】根据本段小标题“Treatyourself.(对待自己)”可知，本段主题是要对自己好一点，再根据前文“Don’tmakeexcusesaboutnothavingtimeormoney.(不要拿没时间和没钱做借口)”可知，D项“Treatscanbefree,andyoucanalwaysmaketime.(对自己好可以是免费的，而且你总能挤出时间)”是对前一句的进一步解释，其中Treats为同词复现。故选D项。【18题详解】分析设空可知，空处位于段尾，应该是对本段的总结，根据本段小标题“Takeupahobby.(培养一种爱好)”可知，本段主要说培养一种爱好，能提高你的生活质量，所以F项“Itdoesn’tmatterwhatitisifyouenjoyitandcanbeabsorbedbyit.(它是什么并不重要，只要你喜欢它并能被它所吸引)”是对爱好的总结，符合文意。故选F项。【19题详解】分析设空可知，空处位于段首句之后，应是对段首句的进一步补充说明，根据前句“Learninganewskillisoneofthemostsatisfyingthingsyoucando.(学习一项新技能是你能做的最令人满意的事情之一)”可知，G项“Youwillfeelasenseofachievementthatwillboostyourselfimage(你会有一种提升自我形象的成就感)”是对前句的补充说明，符合文意。故选G项。【20题详解】分析设空可知，空处应是本段小标题，是对本段的高度概括，根据后文“Oftenwelosesightofthepositive,beneficialthingsinourlives.Everyonehasthingstobegratefulforandmakingalisthelpstoconcentrateyourmindonthesepositives.Sitdownwithapadandpencil,preferablyinaquietplacewhereyouwon’tbedisturbed.Allowyourselfafewminutestothinkaboutyourlifeandidentifythegoodthings.(我们经常忽视生活中积极、有益的事情。每个人都有值得感激的事情，列一个清单可以帮助你把注意力集中在这些积极的事情上。拿着便签纸和铅笔坐下来，最好是在一个不会被打扰的安静地方。给自己几分钟时间思考你的生活，找出美好的事物)”可知，本段主要是说找出生活中值得感激的事情。所以B项“Createagratitudelist.(列一个感谢清单)”符合文意。故选B项。第三部分英语知识运用第一节完型填空(共20小题;每小题1．5分,满分30分)阅读下面短文,从短文后各题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。ChristianLidenwasalwayshatchingaplantocreateapersonalizedengagementringforhisfuturefiancée(未婚妻).Ifanatural____21____couldtakebillionsofyearstoform,hefiguredhecouldbe____22____.Liden____23____thathewouldnotpickoutaringinajeweler’scaselikemostotherpeople.Instead,hewouldgointothe____24____tofindhisownthediamondorthegoldtoexpresshis____25____.“Thisistheperfectwaytogetanengagementring,”saidLiden.Lastyear,Lidenconcludedthatitwas____26____timeto____27____hisplanintoaction.Heandhisgirlfriend,Desirae,hadbeentogetherformorethanfiveyears.Hewantedto____28____her,andalsowantedto____29____her.SoLidenandTucker,hisbestfriend,_____30_____onacampingtriptoCraterofDiamondsParkavolcanicone,Yellowstone,which_____31_____thepublictosearchforrealdiamondsand_____32_____whattheyfind.However,only1in10,000searchersis_____33_____enoughtofindadiamondthatweighsacarat(克拉)ormore.Knowingaboutthis,still,LidenandTuckersetout.Onarrivingatthedestination,the_____34_____paid$10eachtogetintothepark.Theyspentalmostthreedays_____35_____throughthe_____36_____dirt.Onthethirdmorning,Lidensuddenly_____37_____somethingreflectinglightinthegravelbeforehim:a_____38_____pebble(砾石)abitlargerthanapea.“IwassoexcitedthatIstartedshaking,andIcalledTucker_____39_____totakealook,”hesays.Tuckerletoutasurprisedcrywhenhesawthestone.“Webothjustknewitwas_____40_____diamond,”Lidensays.21.A.stone
