penswhenyou-gowalkinginthecountryside.Youmightfeelstressedwhenyoustartout,butslowly,after-acoupleofmiles,yourmindbeginstosettledown.Thebeautyandstillnessofnatureattractsyourattentionandyou’renolongerinyourthought-chatter.Bytheendofthewalkyoufeelalmostlikeadifferentperson.Youfeelmorealive,andmuchhappier—largelybecauseyourmindisnowquiet.(例如，想想当你在农村散步时会发生什么。刚开始的时候你可能会感到压力，但慢慢地，几英里后，你的头脑开始安定下来。大自然的美丽和宁静吸引了你的注意力，你不再“思想闲聊”。散步结束时，你几乎感觉自己变成了另一个人。你感觉更有活力，也更快乐——主要是因为你的头脑现在很安静。)

”可知，文中提到了在乡村散步和观看艺术作品等活动可以让心灵平静下来，并带来幸福感。因此，提到这些例子主要是为了说明心灵的平静是怎样带来幸福感的。故选D。【14题详析】细节理解题。根据倒数第二段的“Ourestimateofhowenjoyableanactivityismaydependonitsmind-stoppingcapacity.Inotherwords,theverybestperformances—andthemostrewardingactivities—arethosewhicharesoattractiveandintensethattheycancompletelystopourminds.(我们对一项活动有多愉快的估计可能取决于它让人停止思考的能力。换句话说，最好的表现和最有回报的活动是那些非常有吸引力和激烈的，它们可以完全停止我们的思想。)”可知，那些可以完全让我们停止思考的活动被认为是非常愉快和有益的，因此，我们对一项活动的享受取决于它在多大程度上能让我们的头脑平静下来。故选C。【15题详析】推理判断题。根据最后一段的“I’mnotsayingthatinnerquietnessistheonlyreasonwhyweenjoytheseactivities.Nevertheless,weshouldcertainlybecomemoreawareoftheassociationofaquietmindwithwell-being.Andatthesametimeweshouldbeawarethatit’spossibleforustoconsciouslyanddirectlycreateaquietmind;ratherthanasabyproductofcertainactivities.Andintheendwemightdevelopapermanentquietmindandattainastateofongoingcontentmentandharmony.(我并不是说内心的平静是我们喜欢这些活动的唯一原因。然而，我们当然应该更加意识到安静的头脑与幸福的联系。同时，我们应该意识到，我们有可能有意识地直接创造一个平静的头脑；而不是作为某些活动的副产品。最终，我们可能会发展出一种永久的平静心态，达到一种持续的满足与和谐的状态。)”可知，作者强调要更多地意识到安静的心灵和幸福之间的联系，要有意识地直接创造一个安静的头脑，潜在地带来持续的满足和和谐，而不仅仅是参与活动。故选A。第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Tenyearsago,notmanyfamiliesintheUnitedStateswouldconsiderhomeschoolingaseriousoptionfortheirchildren.Therewerenegativefeelingsabouthomeschooling,especiallyamongschooleducators,whoconsidereditcrazyorirresponsible.Butthingshavechangednow.____16____Ashomeschoolingbecomesmorewidelypracticed,schoolcommunitiesarebecomingfarmoreacceptingandrecognizethatitcanmeetrealneeds.____17____Homeschoolingprovidescommunitylifethatisvaluabletochildren.Participatingincommunitylife,homeschooledchildrenrelatesociallywithawidevarietyofpeople.____18____Withoutsocialpressurefromage-separatedclassrooms,kidfeelmorecomfortableformingfriendships.____19____Weoftenhearparentsandkidstalkabouthowrelievedtheyfeelfrombeingfreedoftraditionalschoolingandnightlyhomework.Withindependentlearning,theyhavemoretimetotalkandlisten;moretimetospendinlibraries,museums,andconcerthalls;ortohike,ridebikes,read,orthink.Thesechangesarewhathappenswhenfamilylifeisdrivenbytheneedsoffamilies,ratherthantheneedsofinstitutions.Homeschoolingalsocreatesbetterlearningenvironmentsforchildrenwhohavebeenwronglyconsideredashavingallsortsofimaginary“learningproblems”inpublicandprivateschools.Theeducatorswantthechildrentobefixedsothattheywillfit;theparentscorrectlysensethattheirchildrenarefineandonlyneedsomethingdifferent:morespace,freedomtomove,asafeenvironment,orrespectfultreatmentfromothers.____20____A.Homeschoolinghelpschildrenlobroadentheirknowledge.B.Inhomeschoolingfamilies,lifeislikelytobelessstressful.C.Somepeoplechoosehomeschoolingforsocializationbenefits.D.Homeschoolingsuccessstoriesareoftenreportedinthemedia.E.Peoplecanseehoweasyitistogetalongwithhomeschooledkids.F.Forthesefamilies,homeschoolinghelpsachildbuildalifethatwoks.G.Thecombinationoftwokindsofschoolinghasagreateffectonachild.〖答案〗16.D17.C18.E19.B20.F【语篇解读】这是一篇说明文。短文介绍了在家上学的益处。【16题详析】根据上文“Therewerenegativefeelingsabouthomeschooling,especiallyamongschooleducators,whoconsidereditcrazyorirresponsible.Butthingshavechangednow.”（人们对在家上学持消极态度，尤其是在学校教育工作者中，他们认为这是疯狂的或不负责任的。）根据下文“Ashomeschoolingbecomesmorewidelypracticed,schoolcommunitiesarebecomingfarmoreacceptingandrecognizethatitcanmeetrealneeds.”（随着在家上学的实践越来越广泛，学校社区越来越接受并认识到它可以满足实际需要。）可知，选项承接上下文说明在家上学受欢迎的具体表现。故D选项“媒体经常报道在家上学的成功故事”切题。故选D项。【17题详析】根据下文“Homeschoolingprovidescommunitylifethatisvaluabletochildren.Participatingincommunitylife,homeschooledchildrenrelatesociallywithawidevarietyofpeople.”（在家上学为孩子们提供了有价值的社区生活。在家上学的孩子参与社区生活，与各种各样的人建立社会关系。）可知，下文具体解释了在家上学有助于培养社交。所以选项承接下文与社交有关。故C选项“有些人选择在家上学是为了社交”切题。socializationbenefits呼应relatesociallywithawidevarietyofpeople。故选C项。【18题详析】根据下文“Withoutsocialpressurefromage-separatedclassrooms,kidfeelmorecomfortableformingfriendships.”（没有了不同年龄班级的社会压力，孩子们更容易建立友谊。）可知，选项承接下文说明在家学习使得与孩子相处更容易。easy呼应kidfeelmorecomfortableformingfriendship。故E选项“人们可以看到与在家上学的孩子相处是多么容易。”切题。故选E项。【19题详析】根据下文“Weoftenhearparentsandkidstalkabouthowrelievedtheyfeelfrombeingfreedoftraditionalschoolingandnightlyhomework.Withindependentlearning,theyhavemoretimetotalkandlisten;moretimetospendinlibraries,museums,andconcerthalls;ortohike,ridebikes,read,orthink.”（我们经常听到父母和孩子们谈论他们从传统的学校教育和夜间作业中解脱出来是多么的轻松。通过自主学习，他们有更多的时间说话和倾听;花更多的时间在图书馆、博物馆和音乐厅;或者去远足、骑自行车、读书或思考。）可知，本段主要在说在家上学减轻了家庭压力。故B选项“在家上学的家庭，生活压力可能会小一些”切题，为本段的标题。故选B项。【20题详析】根据上文“Homeschoolingalsocreatesbetterlearningenvironmentsforchildrenwhohavebeenwronglyconsideredashavingallsortsofimaginary“learningproblems”inpublicandprivateschools.Theeducatorswantthechildrentobefixedsothattheywillfit;theparentscorrectlysensethattheirchildrenarefineandonlyneedsomethingdifferent:morespace,freedomtomove,asafeenvironment,orrespectfultreatmentfromothers.”（在家上学也为那些在公立和私立学校被错误地认为有各种想象中的“学习问题”的孩子创造了更好的学习环境。教育者希望孩子们能够适应;父母正确地意识到他们的孩子很好，只是需要一些不同的东西:更多的空间，自由移动，安全的环境，或者尊重他人的对待。）可知，选项承接上文总结上文说明对孩子的重要意义。故F选项“对于这些家庭来说，在家上学可以帮助孩子建立一个有意义的生活。”故选F项。第三部分语言运用（共两节，满分30分）第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分）阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项
