解析

试题分析：这篇短文介绍了火鸡在美国感恩节是一个代表，每一年火鸡场主挑选一只火鸡给美国总统。然而总统并不吃它，而是将它放生。接下来讲述了火鸡来自北美,数百年来一直是美国文化的一部分。同时又将农场的火鸡与野生的火鸡进行了比较，又介绍了火鸡的听力。
小题1:考查形容词及语境的理解。通过对短文的理解，有一只火鸡不仅能够幸存而且还能够著名。说明这只火鸡是幸运的，故填：lucky
小题2:考查动词及语境的理解。火鸡场主挑选一只火鸡给美国总统，挑选，故填：pick
小题3:考查动词及语境的理解。但是总统并不吃这只火鸡，而是将它赦免。因此根据句意为吃这只火鸡，故填：eat
小题4:考查动词及语境的理解。根据句意：这只火鸡被送到佛罗里达为了一个感恩节游行活动。送send，此处是被动语态，用动词的过去分词，故填：sent
小题5:考查固定短语及语境的理解。考查固定短语：the rest of剩余的……句意：它剩下的生命时间都会生活在农场，故填：rest
小题6:考查语境的理解。句意：火鸡来自北美,数百年来一直是美国文化的一部分。从另一个角度讲就是世纪，故填：centuries
小题7:考查动词及语境的理解。通过句意了解本杰明想将火鸡来代替秃鹰，成为美国的代表。固定短语instead of代替。故填：instead
小题8:考查形容词及语境的理解。联系上下文得知是将农场的火鸡与野火鸡进行对比，野生的：wild，故填：wild
小题9:考查名词及语境的理解。联系下文：每小时达到88千米，指的是速度，故填：speed
小题10:考查动词及语境的理解。分析介绍火鸡没有耳朵，听力在勾嘴上的肉锤，故填：hear

Are people less happy or happier when they get older? If your answer is “happier”, then you are right, based on a study published five years ago. It found that people generally become happier and experience less worry after age fifty. In fact, it found that by the age of eighty-five, people are happier with their life than they were at eighteen.
The findings came from a Gallup survey of more than three hundred and forty thousand adults in the United States in 2008. At that time, the people were between the ages of eighteen and eighty-five.
Arthur Stone in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Science at Stony Brook University in New York led the study. His team found that levels of stress were the highest among adults between the ages of twenty-two and twenty-five. Stress levels dropped sharply after people reached their fifties.
Levels of happiness were the highest among the kids and those in their early seventies.
The survey also found that men and women have similar emotional patterns as they grow older. However, women at all ages reported more sadness, stress and worry than men did.
So why would happiness increase with age? One theory is that, as people get older, they become more thankful for what they have and have better control of their emotions. They also spend less time thinking about bad experiences.
Title: Relationship Between Age and 小题1:

The elements of the survey	Time: 2008 Place: in the United States Researcher: Arthur Stone and his 小题2: Targets: 340,000 adults
The 小题3: of the survey	Generally people become happier and feel 小题4: worried after age 50. By the age of 85, people are happier with their life than they were at 18. Adults between the ages of 22 and 25 have the 小题5: stress. The kids and those in their early 小题6: feel the happiest. Men and women have similar emotional patterns as they grow older. However, women feel sadder, more 小题7: and worried than men do.
Conclusion	Happiness 小题8: with age. That’s because people become more thankful for what they have and control their emotions 小题9: as they get older. It also 小题10: them less time to think about bad experiences.

Dear Mary :
Thank you for your last letter. I’m happy to know that you will spend your holiday in Hawaii this summer .You said you wanted to know something about Hawaii.
Hawaii has always been a magic name to people who like travelling because of the scenery .People from all over the world dream of seeing the beautiful islands. It’s always one of their dreams to watch the sun going down. At weekends , my family and I often watch the sunset at the seaside. It’s really exciting.
Hawaii is a fun place to go. Long long ago, the first people went to Hawaii in a small boat . They found the place quite beautiful. But it was difficult for travelers to go to Hawaii at that time. And there were no big hotels like the ones today. Now things have changed. Lots of nice big hotels have been built in recent years. However, the nice view in Hawaii hasn’t changed much. In the morning , many tourists often take a walk along the water in. At night , they get together to hold parties, chatting and dancing.
Now , you see Hawaii is really a good place to visit. I’m looking forward to seeing you soon.
Yours
Kate

阅读下列短文,根据短文中的信息完成文后表格。在标有题号的横线上，写出空缺处所填单词的正确形式。（每空一词）
People talk about the problems with diet and dieting, and use them as an excuse for ending, or for not beginning a weight-loss plan. The main problems are that most people don’t know how the body works or they are unwilling to change their lifestyles. When correctly solved you will find these problems will disappear and will finally be a part of your lifestyle.
One problem with diet and dieting is that people complain of often feeling hungry. In fact, slimming doesn’t mean eating less. It just means eating differently. You should eat more foods rich in fiber(纤维) instead of foods high in fat. It is possible to be slim without ever feeling hungry. Eating more nutrient-rich(营养丰富的) foods also means you feel less hungry because your body is getting what it needs.
Another difficulty is the desire(***). Most people complain that they cannot eat their favorite foods because of the weight-loss plans, which causes them to eat too much “bad” food. A slimming plan shouldn’t mean you can just eat “bad” food. While there are some foods that you should limit, there is no harm if you take small amounts now and then. Eating one chocolate bar once in a while is not going to end a healthy eating plan..
Time can be another problem. When you’re busy, it seems much easier to just have a snack than to prepare a well-balanced meal. Slimming doesn’t mean spending more time. It also helps you save money. Fill your fridge with some food that can be thrown into a bag and eaten anytime. Also, with a little pre-planning, large healthy meals can be made all at once, and then foods frozen and reheated(重新加热) when needed.
