They noticed a clear relationship between relational diversity and overall levels of satisfaction.Hanne Collins, a Harvard Business School doctoral student who co-authored the study, says that relational diversity is composed of two elements: richness and evenness.Richness measures relationship categories, or how many kinds of people you interact with in a day. That could be your romantic partner, a family member, a neighbor or a stranger. "The more relationship categories they talk to in a day and the more even their conversations are across those categories, the happier they are. And we find this in a large sample across many countries J Collins said.Evenness relates to the distribution of conversations among those different relationship categories. Some people may find themselves interacting with colleagues at work more than, say, their family members. “If you have a few conversations with colleagues, a few with friends, a few with a romantic partner or a couple chats with strangers, thats going to be more even across these categories,Collins explained.Ultimately, Collins says, the study gives insight to the idea that humans are social creatures at heart. Having a support system is important, but it goes beyond your inner circle. "Its about this mix. Its about connecting with people who are close to you, who are maybe less close to you, who connect you with other people, who provide different kinds of support/7 she said. "Essentially, the idea is that the more diverse your social portfolio (社交档案), the happier you are and the higher your well-being.Next time you consider striking up a conversation with a stranger in line at the grocery store or while waiting at the coffee shop, keep in mind that it might be beneficial to your well-being.12. How does the author explain the term "relational diversity”?A. By listing statistics.B. By making comparison.C. By giving definitions and examples.D. By describing the process.13. Who is the happiest according to the study?A. A person who interacts most with his family members.B. A person who communicates frequently with his friends.C. A person who seldom strikes up conversations with strangers.D. A person who has ever conversations with many different people.14. Which of the statements about the study is true?A.

That could be your romantic partner, a family member, a neighbor or a stranger.(丰富度衡量的是关系类另ij,也就是你每天与多少种人打交 道。可能是你的恋人、家庭成员、邻居或陌生人)”,131 S u Evenness relates to the distribution of conversations among those different relationship categories. Some people may find themselves interacting with colleagues at work more than, say, their family members. "If you have a few conversations with colleagues, a few with friends, a few with a romantic partner or a couple chats with strangers, thats going to be more even across these categories/9 Collins explained.(均匀性与这些不同关系类别之间的对话的分布有关。有些人可能会发现自己在工作中与 同事的交流比与家人的交流更多。“如果你和同事聊几句,和朋友聊几句,和恋人聊几句,或者和陌生人 聊几句,这些类别的情况会更平均,”柯林斯解释说)”可推知,作者对“人际关系的多样性”作了定义, 并举例说明其丰富性和均匀性。故选c项。【13题详解】推理判断题。根据第四段 u Richness measures relationship categories, or how many kinds of people you interact with in a day. That could be your romantic partner, a family member, a neighbor or a stranger. uThe more relationship categories they talk to in a day and the more even their conversations are across those categories, the happier they are. And we find this in a large sample across many countries,Collins said.(丰富度衡量的是关系 类别,也就是你每天与多少种人打交道。可能是你的恋人、家庭成员、邻居或陌生人。“他们一天中谈论 的关系类别越多,而且谈话跨越这些类别的次数越多,他们就越快乐。我们在许多国家的大样本中发现了 这一点,”柯林斯说)”可推知,研究表明,一个与许多不同的人交谈过的人是最幸福的。故选D项。【14题详解】细节理解题。根据第段 “ A recent study by a group of researchers found that there is a link between happiness and a term that the researchers coined called "relational diversity.(一组研究人员最近的一项研究发现,幸福和 一个研究人员创造的术语“关系多样性”之间存在联系)”可知,这个研究组在研究中,创造了新词relational diversity;第六段的第句 Ultimately, Collins says, the study gives insight to the idea that humans are social creatures at heart.(最终,柯林斯说,这项研究让人们深刻认识到,人类本质上是社会生物)”以及最后一句"Essentially, the idea is that the more diverse your social portfolio (社交档案),the happier you are and the higher your well-being.(从本质上讲,这个观点是你的社交档案越多样化,你就越快乐,你的幸福感就越高)” 可知,研究人员提出了一个新的概念:幸福和社会关系多样性之间存在联系。故选A项。【15题详解】推理判断题。根据最后一段 “Next time you consider striking up a conversation with a stranger in line at the grocery store or while waiting at the coffee shop, keep in mind that it might be beneficial to your well-being. ( H 次当你想在杂货店排队或在咖啡店等的时候和陌生人搭讪时、请记住这可能对你的幸福有益)”可知,作者 认同这项研究结果,鼓励大家多和陌生人交谈,增加幸福感。故选D项。第二节:补全短文(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。Why is Eating Colourful Food Good for You?Most of us are faced with the same choice numerous times a day: what to eat. Along with price, accessibility and preference, we'll often use a fbod's healthfulness to help us make a decision. 16It's widely accepted by researchers that we need a varied diet. 17 The proof may be in the Mediterranean diet, which contains a lot of fruit, vegetables and healthy fats such as extra virgin olive oil, and is frequently rated the healthiest diet by scientists.Eating lots of colours may lower your risk of missing out on all vital nutrients. "If we re missing a colour of the rainbow, we may be missing a function of that fbod J says Minich. This is because plant foods contain thousands of natural compounds, which have anti-inflammatory (抗炎的)benefits.18 Blue and purple foods, including blueberries, have a high content of the plant anthocyanin (花青 素),which has been linked to lowering the risk of heart disease and type 2 diabetes. Flavones (黄酮),which givefoods a yellow colour, may reduce the risk of heart disease.Research follow at Harvard TH Chan School of Public Health, says eating a colourful diet can also help people avoid possible side effects of eating too much of one food. "19 For example, research has found thatorange juice is associated with a lower risk of cognitive decline, but too much intake is associated with type 2 diabetes J she says. Although, this is because of its sugar content, not flavones.Eating a rainbow diet may also be complex. 20 We could tie ourselves in knots. We also need to eat from other food groups to get all the nutrients we need, such as protein.A. Food is very complex.B. A varied diet is packed with different vegetables.C. It could be really tricky to get every colour every day.D. But how do we know we're getting enough nutrients?E. Different coloured foods come with different benefits.F. However, is colour the best guide to getting all the nutrients?G. And one way to do this is by eating all the colours of the rainbow.【答案】16.D17. G 18. E 19. A 20. C【解析】【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了为什么吃五颜六色的食物对我们的健康有益。【16题详解】根据上文 “Most of us are faced with the same choice numerous times a day: what to eat. Along with price, accessibility and preference, we'll often use a food's healthfulness to help us make a decision.n(我们每天都面临 吃什么的选择。除了价格,是否容易获得,以及个人喜好外,我们通常会根据食物是否健康有益来选择。) 可知,接下来作者要介绍如何选择食物。选项D “但是,我们如何知道我们获取了足够的营养呢? ”和上 文意思一致。故选D。【17题详解】根据上文"It's widely accepted by researchers that we need a varied diet. ”(研究者们认为我们需要各种各样的 饮食。)可知,这一段指出,我们需要丰富多元的饮食。选项G “做到这的一个方法是通过吃彩虹颜色的食 物。”和上文意思一致。G项中的this指代了本段第一句中的a varied diet,实现了照应,而空后句中的proof 也照应了本空中提出的一种方案。故选G。【18题详解】不艮据下文 “Blue and purple foods, including blueberries, have a high content of the plant anthocyanin (花青素), which has been linked to lowering the risk of heart disease and type 2 diabetes. Flavones (黄酮),which give foods a yellowcolour, may reduce the risk of heart disease.”(蓝色和紫色的食物,包括蓝莓,含有大量的植物花青素, 花青素可以降低患心脏病和2型糖尿病的风险。黄酮类化合物使食物呈现黄色,可降低患心脏病的风险。) 可知,本段列举了蓝色、紫色和黄色食物如何对人体有益的例子,故本段的主题句应该陈述不同颜色的食 物对人体有不同的好处。选项E “不同颜色的食物有不同的好处。”和下文意思一致。故选E。【19题详解】根据 卜 文“ For example, research has found that orange juice is associated with a lower risk of cognitive decline, but too much intake is associated with type 2 diabetes J she says. Although, this is because of its sugar content, not flavones."(例如,研究发现,橙汁与认知能力下降的风险较低有关,但摄入过多与2型糖尿病有关,”她说。 虽然,这是因为它的糖含量,而不是黄酮。)可知,研究发现,橙汁可以降低认知能力下降的风险,但是摄 入太多会导致二型糖尿病。这说明我们不能用一个标准来衡量食物。选项A “食物是非常复杂的。”和下 文意思一致。故选A。【20题详解】根据上文 “Eating a rainbow diet may also be complex.”(彩虹饮食是复杂的。)和下文 u We also need to eat from other food groups to get all the nutrients we need, such as protein."(我们还需要从其他食物类别中摄取所需的 营养素,比如蛋白质。)可知,每天吃遍每一种颜色的食物也是很难办到的,而且要摄取其他食物中的营养。 选项C “要每天都弄到每一种颜色的食物可能很困难J和上下文意思一致。故选C。第三部分语言知识运用(共两节,满分45分)第一节(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A、B、C和D四个选项中,选出可以填入空白处的最 佳选项。The first day of school, our professor challenged us to get to know someone we hadn't already known.
