But getting older is not all bad for many people. Mounting evidence suggests aging may be a key to happiness. There is conflicting research on the subject, however, and experts say it may all boil down to this: Attitude is everything.‎ Older adults tend to be more optimistic and have a more positive outlook on life than their younger and stressed opposites. The big question is why seniors are happier. A recent study suggests one reason: Older adults remember the past through happy memories. Aging can bring more cheer as people become more comfortable with themselves and their roles in society. The older adults said they were enjoying more time with their family, spending more time on hobbies and having greater financial security and did not have to work.‎ But others are doubtful about the link between happiness and growing older.‎ ‎"The notion that those in old age are happiest is misleading," said Richard Easterlin, a professor of economics at the University‎ of ‎Southern California. "It is based on comparing people of different ages who are the same in terms of income, health, family life." Easterlin added, "When you take account of the fact that older people 9‎ ‎ have lower income than younger, are less healthy, and more likely to be living alone, then you will find it hard to accept that they are happier.‎ In fact, scientists have found that as people age, their health declines and social networks disappear as their friends die, which can make the elderly less happy.‎ Even if one does give in to age's dark side, health and happiness don't always go hand-in-hand. It's all about attitude. Research by the University‎ of ‎Chicago’s Yang suggests that attitude about life and happiness, is partly shaped by the era in which a person was born. It turns out that individuals who adapt the best to changes also have the highest expected levels of happiness.‎ Despite the conflicting findings about aging and happiness, the good news is that there doesn’t appear to be a limit to how much happiness one can achieve in one’s life. “Most people desire happiness,” Easterlin said. “To my knowledge, no one has identified a limit to attainable happiness.”‎ ‎1.What does the last paragraph mainly tell us?‎ A. The key factor to older adults’ happiness B. There is a conflict between aging and happiness C. No one can define the limit to happiness.‎ D. The relationship between health and happiness.‎ ‎2.Why are some seniors happier according to some experts?‎ A. They focus on what makes them feel good.‎ B. They have their own circle of friends.‎ C. They have better income after retirement.‎ ‎3.What can we learn from the passage?‎ A. People of the same age have the same sense of happiness.‎ B. Attitude may play a very important role in happiness.‎ C. People who adapt the best to changes are more likely to be unhappy.‎ D. Older adults who have more valuable life experience are more optimistic.‎ ‎4.What’s the topic discussed in the passage?‎ A. Whether aging or attitude brings happiness.‎ B. Why seniors adapt the best to changes in society.‎ 9‎ C. What the limit to an elder person’s happiness is.‎ D. How older people feel compared with younger people.‎ ‎【文章大意】随着年龄的增加变老，人们的幸福感也是不一样的。一些人认为老年人会更幸福些，而另一部分分则持有相反的观点。无论如何，幸福的关键在于一个人对生活的态度。‎ ‎1.C 【解析】推理判断题。根据此段中“the good news is that there doesn’t appear to be a limit to how much happiness one can achieve in one’s life… no one has identified a limit to attainable happiness.”可知，幸福是没有标准和限度的。故选C。‎ ‎3.B 【解析】推理判断题。根据文章倒数第二段中“It's all about attitude. Research by the University‎ of ‎Chicago’s Yang suggests that attitude about life and happiness, is partly shaped by the era in which a person was born. It turns out that individuals who adapt the best to changes also have the highest expected levels of happiness.”可知，人们对生活和幸福的感觉主要取决于一个人的态度。故选B。‎ B About ‎Edinburgh‎ ‎Castle Edinburgh Castle plays an important role in Scotland’s capital. During the Wars of Scottish Independence the castle changed hands many times. In 1314 it was retaken from the English in a sudden night attack by Thomas Randolph, nephew of Robert the Bruce.‎ The castle was home to kings and queens. Queen Margaret died here in 1093, and Mary, Queen of Scots, gave birth to James VI in the royal palace in 1566. From the 1600s onwards the castle was a military(军事的) base. Later it also held prisoners of war. Parts of the castle are still a military base, but it is now a world－famous 9‎ ‎ visitor attraction.‎ Opening Hours The castle opens daily at 9：‎30 a．m. Closing time varies seasonally.‎ ‎1 April－30 September：It closes at 6 p．m.‎ ‎1 October－31 March：It closes at 5 p．m.‎ The castle is closed on 25th and 26th December.

Here, three pieces of advice are for them.‎ Listen but don’t be silent The world is held in students’ hand via smart phones. Thus, they may consider lecture listening less important. 　 1 　It forces students to face the difficulties of training a deep attentiveness. Unsurprisingly, students find it hard ‎ 9‎ to speak out, ask questions or for points of clarification. They don’t want to appear foolish or incapable. However, there is no such thing as a foolish question. Teachers are there to help you understand. This also goes for seminars and workshops. 　 2 　‎ Read and buy books ‎　 3 　There’re so many useful online sources today, but the habit of reading books, especially whole books, is something being lost. Buy your own books. There are many bargains to be found on used-book websites or through Amazon. Being a book lover and buyer will help any student get the most out of their education.‎ ‎　 4 　‎ As a student, you don’t just have to learn to listen and become an active reader: you also have to become an academic writer. Written work at college level cannot be done at the last minute or in a rush. It takes time. Turn to your teachers. If they will read draft essays then make sure you can get feedback(反馈)ahead of the final submission. 　 5 　‎ Students who get feedback on their work always do better than those who do not. It is one of the few educational laws that holds true in all cases.‎ A. Don’t try to do it all the night before.‎ B. However, a lecture is a listening workout.‎ C. Thinking clearly cannot be done in a rush.‎ D. So train your ear, listen carefully, but don’t be silent.‎ E. Reading‎ is the most important thing that any student does.‎ F. Re-writing has proved to be the turning point in one’s degree.‎ G. If they won’t read drafts, then see them to run through your ideas.‎ ‎【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了大学一年级新生如何适应大学生活。‎ ‎1.B 【解析】考查上下文衔接。根据前文＂Thus, they may consider lecture listening less important.＂（因此，他们可能认为听讲座不重要）与B项(然而一个讲座就是一次听力训练)在此相衔接，故选B。‎ ‎2.D 【解析】考查上下文衔接。根据前文＂This also goes for seminars and workshops. ＂（这需要到研讨班）与D项（仔细听训练你的听力，但不要沉默）衔接，故选D。‎ 9‎ ‎3.E 【解析】考查语篇逻辑。本段的主旨是＂Read and buy books＂（阅读和购买书），而E项（阅读对学生来说很重要）符合逻辑，故选E。‎ ‎ 5.G 【解析】考查语篇逻辑。前文＂If they will read draft essays then make sure you can get feedback(反馈)ahead of the final submission.＂（如果他们阅读了草稿就能确保在你上交前得到反馈）与 G项（如果他们没有阅读草稿，看他们理解你的观点）形成并列符合逻辑，故选G。‎ ‎ ‎ 9‎
