ordering is popular in the UK today，handson experience still attracts many buyers attention.Oxford StreetLondon is a shoppers paradise，and most visitors head for Oxford Street.Halfway along is Selfridges，one ofthe worlds first department stores where the architecture and window dressing impress you even before you goin.There are at least four other major stores on this street，plus Europes largest music shop.In December theatmosphere is especially festive because of the Christmaslights which are always lighted by a politician，a greatsportsman，or a super star.Kensington High StreetA

MarketC.Kensington High StreetD.Portobello Road Market3.Where is this passage probably taken from?AA science book.B.A travelers journal.C.A news report.D.A trip guide.BUntil quarantine(隔离期)ends,we are left picturing what sport we might do:working out at the gym,playing on a competitive sports team,swimming,biking,or rock climbing.However,we dont often think ofmartial arts as possible activities;instead,we rule it out because we think its dangerous,uncommon,and even,impossible.Martial arts arent considered a sport,right?Well,heres some good news:youre wrong!Martial arts arent much more common than people think,andyou can start learning at any age.Practicing martial arts is a great way to keep in shape,both physically andmentally.Theyre much less boring and much lessarduoussport than theyre usually described as in movies,so donot worry that they need a lot of effort.Martial arts generally require you to focus on the position and movement of every one of your legs and arms,sometimes even your breathing too.Think about it:when you leave the gym,your mental state has improved andyou are much calmer.This is because youve only paid attention to one activity.It is a great way to clear your head.Andpracticing it can help you learn to stay more focused,which is the greatest advantage of martial arts training.Martial arts also improve your coordination(协调性),and greatly improve your posture(姿势).I havepersonally seen students go from slouching(没精打采)to walking tall with their shoulders back in just a couple ofmonths.There are many styles and countless kinds of martial arts.Whichever one you like better,know that all ofthem are good choices.4.What can we know about martial arts from the first two paragraphs?A.They often have people hurt.B.They are difficult to practice.C.People have a wrong view on it.D.People practice them more often.5.What does the underlined word“arduous”in paragraph 2 mean?A.Interesting.B.Difficult.C.Friendly.D.Exciting.6.What is the biggest benefit of practicing martial arts?A.Adjusting the breath.B.Enjoying ones free time.C.Correcting the movement.D.Keeping ones attention.7.What does the writer think of martial arts?A.They are notsports.B.They attracted many teenagers.C.They are beneficial and helpful.D.They were invented to protect others.CIve long believedthat positive living isnt about being optimistic every minute of every day.That kind ofpermanently happy state cant be the goal,because its impossible to achieve.It turns out that psychological research finds true happiness comes from authentic positivity,and authenticpositivity comes from emotional flexibility.Being flexible emotionally means being open to the full range of emotional experiences,including thechallenging ones like anger,disappointment and sadness.Emotional flexibility means being able to shift behaviorsand mindsets to meet different situational needs,and adapting when circumstances change.However,emotionally flexible people are not chameleons(变色龙)whose outlook changes based on whichway the wind is blowing.Instead,emotional flexibility is a skill that helps people judge the complexities of daily life,and stick to their deeply held values.Ive learned a new word that Id like to share with you:Eudaimonia(幸福感).Eudaimonia is the opposite ofhedonism(享乐主义),the idea that happiness comes from the constant pursuit of pleasure and avoidance of pain.Eudaimonia,by contrast,encourages us to pursue meaning and authenticity,growth and honest joy.Both arephilosophical approaches to happiness,and recent psychological thought is leaning toward eudaimonia as a moresustainable,satisfying model.Eudaimonia was first mentioned by Aristotle,who got the term from the Greek word“daimon,”which means“true nature.”Tome,walking a positive path means accepting that we each have positive true nature andpermanent goodness.What we learn from the concept of eudaimonia is that we are best equipped to realize thisnature when we are emotionally honest and flexible.8.What is the authors belief?A.People should live alone.B.People cant always be happy.C.People cant always achieve their goals.D.People should pursue true achievements.9.What do enmotionally flexible people commit themselves to?A.Their strongly believed values.B.Their different needs.C.Permanent happiness.D.The pursuit of hedonism.10.How can people gain eudaimonia according to the author?A.By being honest to others.B.By changing true nature.C.By keeping realstically optimistic.D.By pursuing pleasure constantly.11.Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?A.What is the meaning of eudaimonia?B.What should we do to keep positive?C.How can we keep happy forever?D.Why cant people be happy all the time?DHappiness is not a warm phone,according to anew study exploring the link between young life satisfactionand screen time.The study was led by professor of psychology Jean M.Twenge at San Diego State University(SDSU).To research this link,Twenge,along with colleagues Gabrielle Martin at SDSU and W.Keith Campbell at theUniversity of Georgia,dealt with data from the Monitoring the Future(MtF)study,a nationally representativesurvey of more than a million U.S.8th-,10th-,and 12th-graders.The survey asked students questions about howoften they spent time on their Phones,tablets and computers,as well as questions about their face-to-face socialinteractions and their overall happiness.On average found that teens who spent more time in front of screen devices playing computer games,using social media,texting and video chatting were less happy than those who invested more time innon-screen activities like sports,reading newspapers and magazines,and face-to-face social interactions.The key to digital media use and happiness is limited use,Twenge said.Aim to spend no more than twohours a day on digital media,and try to increase the amount of time you spend seeing friends face-to-face andexercising two activities reliably linked to greater happiness.Looking at historical trends from the same age groups since the 1990s,its easy to find that the increase ofscreen devices over time happened at the same time as a general drop-off in reported happiness inU.S.teens.Specifically,young peopled life satisfaction and happiness declined sharply after 2012.Thats the year when thepercentage of Americans who owned a smartphone rose above 50 percent.By far the largest change in teens livesbetween 2012 and 2016 was the increase in the amount of time they spent on digital media,and the followingdecline in in-person social activities and sleep.12.Which method did Twenges team use for the study?A.Calculating students happiness.B.Asking students certain questions.C.Analyzing data from a survey.D.Doing experiments on screen time.13.How does the author develop the finding of the study in paragraph 3?A.By making a comparison.B.By giving an example.C.By making an argument.D.By introducing a concept.14.What is the purpose of the last paragraph?A.To draw a conclusion from the study.B.To offer some advice to the readers.C.To prove social activities importance.D.To support the researchers finding.15.Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A.Quitting Phones Equals HappinessB.Screen Time Should Be BannedC.Teens Lives Have Changed SharplyD.Screen-addicted Teens Are Unhappier第二节（共第二节（共 5 5 小题；每小题小题；每小题 2 2 分，满分分，满分 1 10 0 分）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Running is a great way to get in shape and just about everyone
