2019-2020年高三英语二轮复习 课时训练7 阅读理解完形填空语法填空短文改错.阅读理解If your parents were to surprise you with a present on your birthday，which one would you prefer，a trip to the amusement park or a new pair of shoes?According to Science Daily，about onethird of the people are likely to prefer shoes to a fun trip.These people are called “materialists”，namely，those who value material goods more than experiences.But which of the two choices makes people happier?Back in xx，Ryan Howell，a professor at San Francisco State University，found that in the long run，experiences make people happier than possessions.This is because the joy of receiving a new object fades over time as you get used to seeing it every day.Experiences，on the other hand，can continue to bring you joy in the future through happy memories.But materialists should at least be happy when they first buy something，shouldnt they?To figure it out，Howell did another study.He classified a group of adults according to their personality types，ranging from less materialistic to more materialistic.Each person was asked different questions to see how they felt about spending money on material goods versus spending money on experiences.As expected，the more materialistic participants got less happiness from purchases than the less materialistic，because such purchases didnt fit with their personalities and values.But to Howells surprise，he found that materialists werent any happier even if they spent money on material items.This is because materialists worry that others may criticize or look down on their choices.“There are certain value systems that are rejected by society，” said Howell.“When we find out someone is materialistic，we think less of them，and that drives their happiness down.”Another reason is that materialistic people always focus on what they dont have instead of what they have now.This makes them feel less satisfied and grateful.If you happen to be a materialistic person，theres something you can try.“If materialists make more accurate purchases，rather than trying to impress others，they will be happier，” Howell said.You should also remember what an ancient Greek philosopher once said，“Do not spoil what you have by desiring what you have not; remember what you now have was once among the things you only hoped for.”1What did Ryan Howell find in his studies?AMaterial goods bring people less happiness than experiences.BAbout onethird of the people prefer material goods to experiences.CMaterialists have more fun spending money on goods than on experiences.DReceiving a new object brings lasting joy while the joy of an experience fades soon.2What did Ryan Howell want to find out by doing another study?AHow to judge whether a person is a materialist.BWhy materialists are not happy with their purchases.CHow materialists feel when they spend money on goods.DWhether materialists are happy when they first make purchases.3Why does the author use the ancient Greek philosophers words in the last paragraph?ATo advise materialistic people not to try to impress others.BTo persuade people to be satisfied with what they have.CTo prove its unwise to be materialistic and desire too much.DTo tell readers what they desire now might one day bee theirs.4What can be the best title for the passage?AAre You a Materialist?BHow To Acquire Happiness?CThe Best Present for the BirthdayDWhich Can Make people Happier?【语篇解读】本文是一篇议论文，作者通过引用Ryan Howell的研究结果证实经历比有形物质更能给人带来快乐。1解析：选A。根据第三段中的“.found that in the long run，experiences make people happier than possessions”可知，经历比物品更能使人感到高兴。根据第六段中的“the more materialistic participants got less happiness from purchases than the less materialistic”可知，比较倾向物质主义的参与者比不太倾向物质主义的参与者从购物中得到的快乐更少。由此可见，Ryan Howell在他的研究中发现：有形物质比经历给人带来的快乐更少。因此，该题选A。2解析：选D。根据第四段“But materialists should at least be happy when they first buy something，shouldnt they？”及第五段第一句“To figure it out，Howell did another study”可知该题选D。3解析：选B。根据最后一段中那位哲学家的话“不要因期望你没有的东西而毁掉了你现在拥有的东西。记住：你现在拥有的东西就在你曾经渴望得到的东西之中”，再结合上文Ryan Howell研究得出的结论可知，作者引用这位哲学家的话旨在说服人们要对目前拥有的事物感到知足。因此，该题选B。4解析：选D。通读全文可知，作者通过引用Ryan Howell的研究结果证实经历比有形物质更能给人带来快乐，故D项作文章标题最佳。.完形填空Weve all seen the headlines：Sitting too much can shorten your life._1_ is taking over many lives in the world.For example，in fact，Americans are sitting for an _2_ of 13 hours a day，according to a survey conducted by Ergotron.Arnav Dalmia felt the _3_ of the sitting life when he graduated last year and got an office job in a large pany.He _4_ to get a treadmill desk or a standing desk，but it was too _5_ and seemed to be a very involved process，he says.So，he _6_ Cubii.The device is just like any _7_，straight elliptical thing youd see at the gym，only youre not _8_，your arms arent actively engaged，and it fits _9_ your desk at work.Dalmia says that with Cubii，“Movement bees _10_.”Healthy blood circulation helps with _11_ throughout the day，which helps you pay attention to your work and he sees it as one of Cubiis _12_ benefits.Dalmia says Cubii makes smallest _13_ your coworker next to you shouldnt be able to hear it.It is made from a mixture of steel，aluminum and plastic.It also connects to an app on your smartphone via Bluetooth.It _14_ how long and how far youve traveled，and how many calories youve _15_.It can also link to other fitness trackers you already have _16_ up to your phone.Dalmia says that _17_ you use a standing desk or a footonly eggshaped like hisall of these ideas _18_ the same problem.“Its just a matter of what suits you better，”he says.“I think this _19_ of workplace fitness is kind of really growing.”“People recognize the _20_，” Dalmia says.“The movement of the workplace is changing.”1A.SittingBDrivingCDrinking DFighting2.
