【英语】湖南省长沙市长郡中学2018-2019学年高一上学期期末考试试题(解析版)

you and the bottom of the ladder is the worst possible life for you. On which step of the ladder would you say you personally feel you stand at this time?”

The average (平均的) result is the country’s score—from Norway’s 7.54 to the central African Republic’s 2.69. But the report also tries to explain why one country is happier than another. It looks at reasons including economic strength, social support, freedom of choice, and generosity.

This year’s report also has a text titled “restoring (恢复) American happiness”, which examines why happiness levels in the United States are falling, despite continually-increasing economic improvement. “The United States can and should raise happiness by solving American’s social problems—rising inequality and distrust—rather than focusing mainly on economic growth,” the authors said.

Jeffrey Sachs, the director of the Sustainable Development Solutions Network, which published the report, said President Donald Trump’s policies were likely to make things worse.

32. Which of the following are the top five happiest countries? A. The US, Denmark, Iceland, Switzerland and Finland. B. The UK, Denmark, Iceland, Switzerland and Finland. C. South Africa, Denmark, Iceland, Switzerland and Finland. D. Norway, Denmark, Iceland, Switzerland and Finland.

33. How does the World Happiness Report mainly measure happiness? A. By asking a question. B. By having a conversation. C. By doing scientific research. D. By carrying out an online survey. 34. What problem is the US faced with? A. Its people live an unhappy life. B. Its economy is going downhill. C. Its social problems can’t be solved. D. It has a lower happiness level than before.

35. What’s Jeffrey Sachs’ attitude toward Donald Trump’s policies?

A. Supportive. B. Unfavorable. C. Respectful. D. Uncaring.

本文是一篇说明文。联合国机构每年发布《世界幸福报告》，通过问卷等形式来衡量国家的幸福感，并分析原因，今年的报告还有一个文本标题为“恢复美国幸福”，表明了美国由于日益加剧的不平等和不信任导致了幸福水平正在下降。

【名师点睛】：

七选五阅读填空是新课标英语高考的新题型。文章多数是说明文，考查考生对文章的整体内容和结构以及上下文逻辑意义的理解和掌握。在做这种题型时我们要注意以下解题技巧：

1.句式对接

如本文的第2小题，通读文章，我们很容易发现每条建议的第一句话，也就是主题句都是祈使句。第二个建议主要讲的是加入运动队，反观选项，A为祈使句且内容符合题意，故选A。

2.词汇衔接：也就是利用上下文所重复的关键词，即词的复现原则进行判断，其中包括同义词，原词和反义词的复现。要注意空前后的名词、代词、和动词，寻找答案时注意在选项中查找同义词、近义词、反义词或表示同一类事物的词语等。如本问中的第4小题，D项中的 Volunteering与主题句中的Go volunteering就属于原词的复现，这样我们就很容易找到正确的选项。

第三部分 语言知识运用(共四节，满分38分) 第一节(共20小题；每小题1分，满分20分)
