Iceland has the highest birth rate in Europe， the highest divorce rate， and the highest percentage of women working outside the home． Such statistics are often evidence of a miserable， chaotic society， with loads of children， broken homes and absent mothers．But Iceland is the exception - its citizens are the happiest in the world．
New rankings from the United Nations Development Program's Human Development Index rate Iceland as the best country in the world in which to live．
Perhaps the country's geographic location contributes to Icelanders' happiness．Located in the middle of the North Atlantic， with Greenland as its nearest neighbor， Iceland is free from the taboos that cause so much distress elsewhere． For instance， people who divorce are not looked down upon by society．
Icelanders are offspring of the Vikings， a north European people who invaded European coasts from the 8th through the 10th century． This tradition of getting out into the world lives on in modernday Iceland． Almost all Icelanders have studied or worked abroad， and most speak English．
Perhaps as a result， Iceland's economic policies blend the best of those from Europe and the US to create its own welfare system．
·11·
"Many of us have lived in the US， and studied there，" said the former Icelandic Prime Minister Geir Haarde."We have both taken from them and found that naturally we share the cando attitude - that if you work hard， anything can be done．"
Indeed， the country is rich in writers， painters， film makers and accomplished musicians．There's Sigur Ros， a postrock band， and also a national symphony orchestra that plays to the highest standards all over the world． Half the population appears to have written a book．
"Iceland has harsh nature， with its bitter everchanging weather， " said Haraldur Jonsson， a painter， sculptor and video and performance artist．"We cannot escape it． So we find ways_______．We have to have a rich internal life to fill the empty spaces．"
58.It is commonly believed that high birth rate and divorce rate will bring about___．
A． social problems B． a sense of wellbeing
C． a unique welfare system D． a modern way of life
59.Which of the following is NOT mentioned as the cause of Icelander's happiness？___
A． Geographic location B． A rich internal life
C． National pride D． Freedom from taboos
60.Which of the following is the most suitable to fill in the blank in the last paragraph？___
A． to get rid of it B． to withdraw from it C． to exercise caution against it D． to live with it
C
In recent years， a growing body of research has shown that our appetite and food intake are influenced by a large number of factors besides our biological need for energy， including our eating environment and our perception（感知） of the food in front of us．
Studies have shown， for instance， that eating in front of the TV （or a similar distraction） can increase both hunger and the amount of food consumed． Even simple visual cues， like plate size and lighting， have been shown to affect portion size and consumption．
A new study suggested that our short-term memory also may play a role in appetite． Several hours after a meal， people's hunger levels were predicted not by how much they'd eaten but rather by how much food they'd seen in front of them - in other words， how much they remembered eating．
This difference suggests the memory of our previous meal may have a bigger influence on our appetite than the actual size of the meal， says Jeffrey M．Brunstrom， a professor of experimental psychology at the University of Bristol．
"Hunger isn't controlled solely by the physical characteristics of a recent meal． We have identified an independent role for memory for that meal，" Brunstrom says， "This shows that the relationship between hunger and food intake is more complex than we thought．"
These findings echo earlier research that suggests our perception of food can sometimes trick our body's response to the food itself． In a 2011 study， for instance， people who drank the same 380-calorie milkshake on two separate occasions produced different levels of hunger-related hormones， depending on whether the shake's label said it contained 620 or 140 calories． Moreover， the participants reported feeling more full when they thought they'd consumed a higher-calories shake．
What does this mean for our eating habits？ Although it hardly seems practical to trick ourselves into eating less， the new findings do highlight the benefits of focusing on our food avoiding TV and multitasking while eating．
The so-called mindful-eating strategies can fight distractions and help us control our appetite，

Brunstrom says．
61.What is said to be a factor affecting our appetite and food intake？___
A． How we perceive the food we eat． B． What ingredients the food contains．
C． When we eat our meals． D． How fast we eat our meals．
62.What do we learn from the 2011study？___
A． Food labels may mislead consumers in their purchases．
B． Food labels may influence our body's response to food．
C． Hunger levels depend on one's consumption of calories．
D． People tend to take in a lot more calories than necessary．
63.What does Brunstrom suggest we should do to control our appetite？___
A． Trick ourselves into eating less． B． Choose food with fewer calories．
C． Concentrate on food while eating． D． Pick dishes of the right size．
64.What is the main idea of the passage？___
A． Eating distractions often affect our food digestion．
B． Psychological factors influence our hunger levels．
C． Our food intake is determined by our biological needs．
D． Good eating habits will contribute to our health．

Louise's passing made the father and his son like strangers． Only her memory and the thought of her laughter could bring them together．
"Why don't you eat your pikelets with your milk？" Clinton asked， looking at his son across the table． The boy was a brown and healthy-looking six-year-old， with an independent sturdiness that pleased his father． But looking into the child's eyes caused him pain． They were so reminiscent of Louise's． And it was too soon． It would pass after a while， of course， but right now he couldn't help remembering the number of weeks and days since death had silenced her laughter．
"When you have pikelets and milk you ought to eat them together．" Clinton had made this suggestion several times before， but never before had Peter questioned the wisdom of it．
"Why？" Peter asked．
"Because they taste better that way，" Clinton said． "And， besides-" Then he stopped and frowned． "Because that's the way I eat them，" he was thinking．
"I don't like them that way，" Peter said， and there was a hurt， stubborn look on his little-boy face． He finished his milk and started on his pikelets． "I don't like apple sauce， either，" he added with finality．
He waited for something to happen， but Clinton， braced to settle the issue， saw the absurd white rim of milk around the defiant mouth， and his heart softened． He wanted to take his napkin and wipe it off． But he felt awkward with his son， as though the sudden departure of Louise's loving from the house had made them strangers． He folded his napkin on his lap．
"Wipe your mouth，" he said abruptly． He pushed his chair back and got up from the table． He went into the living room and sat down． He stretched his legs in an effort of composure and picked up his newspaper． But he was unable to concentrate …
Louise， he thought． If she were here they'd all be laughing now， the three of them． Louise would see to that． He suddenly realized that he resented his son for forgetting so soon． But that was absurd! To

a child a day was like a year， and sorrow was the business of yesterday．
Peter came into the room． Clinton watched him， pretending to read the paper． The boy went to the bookcase and took down a large book． He carried it to the centre of the floor and lay down in front of it． It was an art book with full-page colour illustrations． He started with the front of the book， as he always did， and studied each picture carefully， His chin was resting on his hands and the circle of milk was still around his small mouth， giving him a pathetic， clown-like look．
When he finished the book he turned back to the front page． Down in the corner， in her own handwriting， was Louise's name．
Clearly and carefully， Peter traced each letter with his finger， the first name and the last． Then he turned and looked intently at his father， and Clinton knew there was something he wanted to say， something that had to be said delicately and subtly．
"You like that book， don't you？" Clinton asked．
"Yes，" Peter said． There was a silence， and then he said， "It belonged to my mother， didn't it？"
"Yes，" Clinton said． "I gave it to her myself． As a matter of fact， she rather cherished that book．"
Peter's youthful gravity filled the room． He looked very small and alone． And then Peter said， using his father's phrasing， so foreign to his own vocabulary， "As a matter of fact， I rather cherish this book， too．" He was trying， Clinton guessed， to make his plea for affection， his cry of loneliness sound irrelevant， as if it had no connection with the conversation．
Clinton swallowed to release the sudden tightness in his throat； the newspaper slid to the floor and he held his arms open to his son． "Come here， Peter，" he said．
But Peter hadn't finished yet． "If you want me to eat apple sauce， I'll do it，" he said． "And if you don't want me to drink my milk without my pikelets， I won't do it． I mean if ---"
"I know what you mean，" Clinton said， laughing． "You can do just as you please about either of them． Now come here and let me wipe your mouth．"
Peter bounced across the room and in one second he was on the chair and in his father's arms． And they were laughing， both of them， just as they used to laugh when Louise was there．
65.What does the underlined sentence imply？___
A． Peter waited for his father to hug him．
B． Peter was ready for bad consequences．
C． Peter waited for his father's further explanation．
D． Peter didn't know what to do with his father．

第四部分：任务型阅读（共10小题，每小题1分，满分10分）

注意：请将答案写在答题卡上相应题号的横线上。每个空格只写一个单词。
According to The New York Times, kids from ages 8 to 18 spend more than seven and a half hours a day on electronic devices and social network. Parents who have trouble tearing their teens away from the computer or smart phone may wonder whether their teenager is addicted to technology.
One big change that has come with new technology and especially smart phones is that we are never really alone. Kids update their status, sharing what they’re watching, listening to, and reading at all times. The result is that kids feel connected with each other all the time, never getting a break from them. That, in and of itself, can produce anxiety. It’s also surprisingly easy to feel lonely and depressed in the middle of all that connection.
Today kids are missing out on very critical social skills. In the past kids were more likely to chat and hang out in person. Through real-time interactions, they were experimenting and trying out skills. In a way, texting and online communicating puts everybody in a nonverbal disabled context, where body language, facial expression, and even the smallest kinds of vocal reactions are invisible.
Peer acceptance is a big thing for adolescents, and their image matters a lot to them. Who wouldn’t want to make herself look cooler if she can? So kids can spend hours beautifying their online identities, trying to project an idealized image.
Social media also can have a positive effect, however. Some research has found that social media can be a resource for teens to find social support when they are struggling with life issues, and that introvert kids can use the different online platforms as a way to express themselves. So they are able to build friendships and relationships through the interaction they have with others on the Internet.
Social networking makes kids more peer-based. Teens interact and receive feedback from one another. They are motivated to learn more from each other than from adults. Teachers and adults are no longer the only sources of knowledge.
Whether technology is good or bad largely depends on the person who uses it. Parents are role models for their children. They should cut down their own consumption first, and limit the amount of time their kids spend on social media. It is also suggested that sites like Instagram and schools teach safe social media use.
The use of social media among teens
Many teens seem 71 to social media nowadays.
72 effects of social media on teens
Lone-time connection may cause 73 problems in teens.
Teens are losing social skills for74 of real-time interactions.
In order to be 75 by peers, teens spend too much time 76 their online images.
·11·
Teens can seek help online with their problems in life. Social media offers more 77 for teens to acquire knowledge.
Suggestions on the use of social media
Parents should set a good 78 for their children.
A time 79 should be set for teens’ use of social media.
Sites and schools should offer 80 education.
第五部分：书面表达：
Thirteen people were killed and two more remain missing after a bus broke through a guardrail and plunged into Yangtze River on Oct 28．
Footage from the vehicle's data recorder released shows a female passenger---identified by authorities as Liu，48---arguing with the driver surnamed Ran， at the time of the accident．
Liu had missed her stop and asked Ran to pull over， according to police． When he refused， she began to hit him with her cell phone， causing Ran to lose control of the vehicle． The bus crossed into the wrong lane before colliding with an oncoming vehicle and hitting the guardrail．
Netizens and media commentators have called for improved safety measures on public transport， as well as greater awareness of the rules among passengers． Although signs and audio announcements warn passengers not to distract bus drivers， particularly when the vehicle is moving， not everyone follows the rules． Before the Chongqing tragedy， similar cases had come to light， including some in which passengers had grabbed the wheel．
