【解题导语】　人的一生有高峰也有低谷，本文分析了人在智商、幸福感和创造力三个方面的高峰期
1．A.plans　　　　　　　　 B．lives
C．patterns D．predictions
解析：选C。下文谈到人在各年龄段的情况，从这些叙述看，这里不是谈论人们共同的“计划、生活、预测”，而是人生某些共有的“模式”，因此选C。
2．A.good B．strange
C．interesting D．difficult
解析：选A。与前面的best呼应，本空选A。即使你人生的“最佳”时期已经过去了，你还会迎来其他的美好年景。
3．A.best B．smartest
C．most mature D．most skilled
解析：选B。由本段的内容可知该段谈论的是人的智商问题，故该段首句问的应是“你什么时候最聪明”。
4．A.powerful B．energetic
C．experienced D．satisfied
解析：选C。结合生活实际考虑，随着年龄的增长，人会更有经验，而不是“强大的、有精力的、满意的”。因此选C。
5．A.generally B．specially
C．mainly D．particularly
解析：选D。到30岁左右的时候，人的智力，特别是数学能力，开始衰减。四个选项的主要含义：A.一般来说，总的来说；B.特殊地，特别地；C.主要地；D.尤其，特别。数学能力也是大脑智力的一部分，因此这里表示“尤其，特别”，选D。
6．A.climbs B．stops
C．matters D．works
解析：选A。由转折词but可知所填词与前面的decline呼应，这里选A表示两方面能力的升降：大脑的智力开始衰退，但完成其他工作的能力开始上升。这里用climb表示“上升，上涨”。
7．A.recognizes B．possesses
C．communicates D．receives
解析：选B。这里用动词possess表示“拥有”。60岁的你，大脑拥有的信息几乎是你21岁时的4倍。
8．A.babies B．teenagers
C．adults D．elders
解析：选C。结合上下文语境可知，本空选C表示“成年人”，有些心理学家建议用“成熟指数”来衡量成年人的智力水平。
9．A.mental B．emotional
C．physical D．personal
解析：选C。语境提到“你一直感觉精力充沛”，因此本空选C表示“身体的，体力的”。15岁到24岁这个时期，你的体能感觉最好。
10．A.come B．last
C．remember D．disappear
解析：选A。在24岁之前，我们总觉得自己最快乐的时光还在后面呢。这里用be to come表示“即将到来”。
11．A.confident B．realistic
C．hopeful D．grateful
解析：选B。30岁以后，我们不再把幸福当成生命本身的一种目标，此时我们更“现实”了。从语境的连贯判断选B，表示“现实的，现实主义的”。
12．A.wealth B．sharpness
C．wisdom D．happiness
解析：选D。到这个年龄阶段，只要我们身体健康，在专业和情感方面达到了自己的目的，我们就觉得获得了幸福。
13．A.agrees B．varies
C．goes D．ends
解析：选B。在30岁到39岁这个年龄段，我们最富有创造力，但是不同的职业，情况会有所不同。从语境的连贯判断选B，表示“相异”。
14．A.early B．naturally
C．unexpectedly D．recently
解析：选A。前面提到“一般来说，在30岁到39岁这个年龄段，人最具有创造力”，后面说“在他们20多岁和30多岁的时候”，因此选A。但在科学和经济这样的领域，高峰期会早一些。
15．A.demand B．reason
C．choice D．limit
解析：选D。由前面谈论的内容再结合转折连词but可知此处是说：对于大脑思维活跃的人来说，没有所谓的年龄上的限制。因此选D，表示“限制”。
Ⅴ.阅读理解
Here’s a reason for Britons to feel happy despite the nation’s difficulty: Britons are the happiest people in Europe.
Research shows that Britons smile more than their_continental_cousins，with only the Spanish, known for their sunny outlook，and Italians，with their love for life, coming close.
The French and Germans, some might say perhaps not surprisingly，fall far behind Britons.
Bottom of the pile are Poles(波兰人) , who, it seems, are twice as unwilling to give a smile as Britons.
Piotr Szarota, a psychologist at the Polish Academy of Sciences, analyzed 2,000 photos accompanying Internet messages sent by men and women from nine European countries.
He found the residents of Eastern nations to smile less often than those in the West，with Poles the coldest of all.
Dr.Szarota, whose findings are published in the Journal of Nonverbal Behaviour, said this might be due to a“postCommunist mentality (后共产主义心理)”．
He added：“East Europeans, generally regarded as less confident and less friendly，would be less likely to smile.”
However, differences in quality of life cannot fully explain the results, with France and Germany both sitting towards the bottom of the league table.
With fewer than half the French and Germans pictured smiling，they were more upset than Slovenians (斯洛文尼亚人) and Czechs (捷克人)．
This may be because，like the Poles，the French and Germans encourage honesty，preferring to show their true feelings，rather than mask them with a smile.
In contrast，Dr.Szarota said that Britons，who topped the table with more than 70 percent of those pictured smiling，may be too polite to show how they really feel.
【解题导语】　这是一篇说明文。尽管目前英国困难重重，但有一件事可以使大家高兴：英国是欧洲最快乐的国度。调查显示，与欧洲其他国家的人相比，英国人更爱笑，以乐观开朗而著称的西班牙人和热爱生活的意大利人位居其后。
1．What does the underlined phrase“their continental cousins”in Paragraph 2 refer to?
A．Germans.
B．The French.
C．Other Europeans.
D．People neighboring the UK.
解析：选C。词义猜测题。根据文章的第二段可知，作者在文中拿英国人与欧洲其他国家的人进行对比，“their continental cousins” 在此处指“除了英国之外的欧洲其他国家的人”。
2．What do we know about the Spanish?
A．They are smart.
B．They are friendly.
C．They are romantic.
D．They are hardworking.
解析：选B。推理判断题。根据文章的第二段及全文的大意可知，西班牙人以乐观开朗的性格著称。
3．Where did Piotr Szarota probably get the 2,000 photos?
A．From the Internet.
B．From his research organization.
C．From an international company.
D．From newspapers and magazines.
解析：选A。细节理解题。根据文章第五段中的“analyzed 2,000 photos accompanying Internet messages sent by men and women from nine European countries”可知，那2000张照片很可能来自因特网。
4．The majority of the French and Germans don’t smile because________.
A．they want to show their true feelings
B．they are naturally serious
C．they pretend to be unfriendly
D．they are not happy about their life
解析：选A。细节理解题。根据文章的倒数第二段可知，也许是因为法国人和德国人与波兰人一样，都比较真诚，更愿意表现出自己的真实情感，而不是为了笑而笑，故答案为A。
5．What is the best title for the text?
A．Poles smile least among European nations
B．The people in eastern nations smile less than those in the West
C．More than half of the French and Germans don’t smile
D．Research shows that Britons are the happiest people in Europe
解析：选D。标题归纳题。根据文章的主旨大意可知，D项的陈述与文章内容相符。
