20. A 【分析】
本文是一篇说明文，自律和自我控制是一种能力，研究人员通过调查研究发现自律会对人们的生活带来积极的影响。 【16题详解】
本题的关键词是“however”。横线后一句“However，some people think that as an immediate
consequence of leading lives of constant self-control, they aren’t likely to gain a lot of pleasure from life.”告诉我们人们认为过着自我控制的生活不可能让人们从生活里得到快乐。句中的however说明横线句的内容与本句内容相反，C项“It is generally believed that in the long run self-control can make people happier.”符合语境。故选C项。 【17题详解】
本段主要讲述的是研究人员利用调查研究的方法查明真实情况。B项“Researchers checked these general ideas through a survey and study.”是本段内容的概括，本段其余内容是对他们所做的研究的具体说明。故B项正确。 【18题详解】
横线前一句“In their study, 205 adults were given smart phones and required to report their emotions at random moments throughout the week”说明，在研究中，205位成年人被要求在随机的时刻报告他们这周的情绪情况。本句内容还是与研究相关的内容，D项“Meanwhile, they were also asked to report whether they were experiencing any desires.”也是研究的内容之一，符合上下文语境。故D项正确。 【19题详解】
横线前一句“The researchers found that the more self-control people had, the more satisfied they were with their lives in the long run.”前一句告诉我们，长期来看人们越自律，他们对生活越满意。实际上短期来看自律的人对生活也会比较满意。E项“However，people with more self-control were also more likely to be happy in the short run.”符合语境，故选E项。 【20题详解】
横线前一句“They don’t waste time fighting inner battles over whether or not to eat a second piece of cake”告诉我们自律的人不会浪费时间去考虑要不要再吃一块蛋糕。他们不会为这些小事烦恼。A项“In a word, they are not bothered about such little desires.”符合上下文语境，故A项正确。
【点睛】本文小题1的答案是通过关联词however推理出来，句中的however说明横线句的内容与后句内容相反，C项正确。在完成七选五阅读时，我们可以从细节逻辑上判断——转折关系： 转折关系主要指英语行文中后句对前句构成逆转逻辑关系。如果空格前后两句话之间是逻辑上的逆转，则空格处很有可能是个转折逻辑的句子。表示转折关系的连接词有：However然而；nevertheless仍然，然而，不过；nonetheless尽管如此，依然，然而；still还；然而；though可是，不过，然而；
yet然而；in spite of不顾，不管；at any rate无论如何，至少；in any case无论如何，不管怎样；whoever无论是谁；whatever无论什么；on the contrary正相反；in contrast与此相反，相比之下；by contrast相反，相比之下；in comparison比较起来，比较地；by comparison相比之下；conversely相反(地)；otherwise否则，除此以外；not…but…不是……而是。
三、 阅读理解
18. I have had the privilege of meeting some very interesting people over the years. Some of these people
made a great impact on my life, my views and personal philosophy. Others I met had the opposite effect
because they represented attitudes, behavior and beliefs that were directly opposed to my views on life and my feelings about the value of all people.
One such person I met was a woman in her late seventies. She had been an active woman, raised a family and had engaged in helping others, and developed her own crafts to sell at selected craft shows throughout the year.
When I met her for the first time, I couldn’t believe that she was in her late seventies — I would have placed her age more in her early sixties. After speaking with her for a short period, it was only then that the conversation seemed to turn to age. And, it wasn’t a conversation about the frailty (脆弱) of age, or the aches and pains, or about pleasures lost.
The conversation, instead, focused on her zest for life and all the things that she was in the planning stages of doing. And, what she was planning to do wasn’t about going to a seniors group so she and her husband could go on a bus tour. What she was planning was an excursion (旅行) to Europe, unaccompanied by any tour operator or taken around the usual sights by a local guide.
She really impressed me a lot because of her zest for life; for an uncompromising view of the future not in the least affected by her age; for the undying faith in knowing that there was a great deal of life yet to be discovered and experienced and yearning for each new image, discussion, smell, cultural uniqueness or experience.
51. From the text we know_____________.
A. the woman had much sight-seeing around the world. B. the woman was willing to help others. C. the woman made great wealth by selling crafts. D. the woman talked a lot about her age.
52. The old woman impressed the author because ______________. A. she kept young in spite of her age B. she had experienced a lot in life
C. she never gave in to the aches and pains in life D. she had a positive outlook on life
53. What kind of tone does the author use to describe the woman? A. Doubtful. C. Concerning. C. Sympathetic. D. Appreciative.
54. The underlined word “zest” in the fourth paragraph probably means“_____________”. A. enthusiasm B. concept C. view D. satisfaction
参考答案： 51─54 BDDA 略
19. As a substitute teacher, my daily routine involves driving to a new school almost every day so I'm usually unable to anticipate（预料）the day's events, good or bad!
On one particular day,1 was teaching in a very difficult classroom．1 was managing behavior all morning and by lunch time, I knew I needed coffee to even consider surviving the afternoon．So on my lunch break, I drove to a nearby plaza to get a cup of coffee．Upon returning to the car I realized l had locked my keys and my phone inside! I had about 15 minutes to get back to the school which was a good 4 or 5-minute drive away．I contemplated（思考）rushing back, but it being winter, I thought a nasty fall on ice would only make the situation much worse．
So I ran into a McDonald's which was in the same plaza and asked the man at the counter who happened to be the manager to please call me a cab．I briefly explained my situation to him, and I could tell by the look in his eyes, that he empathized．He hurried to the back to use the phone while I paced in the restaurant．I had less than 10 minutes to get back to my school at this point．
The manager returned only to tell me that the cab company had put him on hold and then the line got disconnected, and that he was now on hold again, but had not yet been able to request the cab yet My expression, I assume, began to resemble some combination of hopelessness and fear．
Without a thought, he grabbed his coat and offered to drive me to the school. Without hesitation, I followed him into his car and made it back into my classroom with 2 minutes to spare before the bell! Upon arriving at the school, l thanked this man endlessly．His calm behavior and kind nature made me think he was probably a wonderful manager to work for, and also a wonderful human being to have on this earth．This experience makes me realize that out of every seemingly hopeless situation, there is the opportunity for acts of kindness to transpire（发生）'which can have an unimaginable impact（影响） on those who receive them.

A．Because he was very thirsty at that time． B．Because he was only interested in drinking coffee
