Ⅲ.阅读理解
Stressed？It is shown in recent research that walking or cycling to work calms you down (traveling by bus or train is also better than driving)．
Walking to work reduces stress and improves brain power，researchers say.Adults who stopped driving the car and started walking or cycling became calmer and found it easier to concentrate.A study of 18,000 Britons found that going to work by train or bus improved their well-being compared with driving.
The study，published in the journal Preventive Medicine，also found that the longer people spent walking or cycling，the happier or less stressed they were.However，stress levels and inability to concentrate worsened if they spent more time in the car.
Lead researcher Adam Martin，from the University of East Anglia's Norwich Medical School，said that despite the crowds and disruption，walking to bus stops or stations and being able to relax on the journey “cheer people up”．Two thirds drive to work,18 percent use public transport，11 percent walk and 3 percent cycle.
A research earlier this year found that commuters (乘公共车辆往返者) had small but statistically significant lower scores on all measures of well-being.The worst effects were witnessed in those whose journeys last between 61 and 90 minutes.But when commuting time reaches three hours or more，the negative effects disappear，the report said.
“The effects of commuting on personal well-being are the greatest for anxiety and happiness，suggesting that commuting affects day-to-day emotions more than overall evaluations of satisfaction with life or the sense that daily activities are worthwhile，” the report stated.
Dr Daniel Newman，from Cardiff University's Sustainable Places Research Institute，said，“This report says that many of us，who spend mornings and evenings sitting in traffic jam，already know：commuting can be a chore.”

A little bit of kindness
There are times in our life when we don't take action because we feel the act of kindness is too little and that it won't make a difference.However，sometimes the smallest gesture can make a huge impact on someone's life.__1__
__2__Some people might think that they do not have a chance to show another person a small measure of kindness but these opportunities are everywhere.For example，if you ride on a bus，have you ever said good morning to the bus driver or do you just ignore him or her and go to your seat？__3__And it is even an acknowledgement that can help to brighten a day.
When you go to the supermarket or grocery store，do you hold the door open for a young woman pushing her baby in a stroller？__4__When you are at school，do you say good morning to your classmates？Do you just go about your study without acknowledging their presence？Or，how about those people you meet on the street that ask for money or who are selling various goods?
__5__A good morning，a door being held open，a kind word...the list can go on and on.
A．Acts of kindness can be found everywhere.
B．Do you just go ahead through the door without stopping? C．Do you have opportunities to give small acts of kindness? D．There are many different ways we can show kindness to others. E．A simple good morning tells the person that you acknowledge him/her. F．Acts of kindness，whether small or big，have a good effect on people's lives. G．In a word，small acts of kindness make a difference in ways you may not realize. 语篇解读 本文告诉我们善举虽小但作用和影响巨大。
1．D [前面说“sometimes the smallest gesture can make a huge impact on someone's life”，下文讲了小善举的施行，故空处在此起承上启下的作用，选D。]
2．C [C项中的“opportunities”与空后的“chance”“opportunities”相对应，故C项符合语境。]
3．E [由空后的“an acknowledgement”可知E项符合语境。]
4．B [根据空前的“do you hold the door open for a young woman pushing her baby in a stroller”可知B项符合语境。]
5．G [根据后面列举的“A good morning，a door being held open，a kind word”可知，此处是对前文的一个总结和升华，因此G项“总之，小小的善举会以你可能意识不到的方式发挥着作用”符合语境。]

语篇解读 本文主要讲述了著名学者苏格拉底的故事。
1．for [考查介词。由“not for money”可知，此处应用介词for，for表示“为了”。] 2．what [考查连接词。what引导主语从句，在从句中作宾语，起双重代词的作用，相当于the things that。]
3．dangerous [考查形容词。修饰名词常用形容词，形容词dangerous修饰名词enemies，意为“危险的”。]
4．falsely [考查副词。此处用副词falsely修饰动词accused。]
5．leading [考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知，空处所填词与动名词teaching并列，故用动名词leading作介词of的宾语。]
6．arrested [考查非谓语动词。arrest与him构成动宾关系，此处应用过去分词作宾语补足语，have sb.done让某人被……。]
7．were allowed [考查时态、语态和主谓一致。根据“was put”可知，此处表示发生在过去的事情，且allow与句子主语his friends and pupils构成动宾关系，故用一般过去时的被动语态，所以填were allowed。]
8．he [考查代词。根据“He had no fear of dying”可知，此处表示苏格拉底死前很平静，故用人称代词he作宾语从句的主语。]
9．tears [考查名词的数。in tears意为“哭泣，流泪”，为固定搭配，故用名词的复数形式。]
10．bravest [考查形容词的最高级。根据语境可知，此处表示“最勇敢的”人，故用形容词的最高级bravest。]
