I.阅读理解
A
I always wondered how people would react if I tried to approach a total stranger for help in a busy
place like a street corner or in a noisy mall. I have always hurried past a stranger who tried to catch my
attention in a busy place or when I am rushing around.
Yesterday, I was in a busy shopping mall buying a large piece of luggage because I just had the time to
do it after many days of planning. After the purchase in one of the large shops, I picked up my phone from
my pocket to call my driver waiting in the parking lot but my phone was dead.
I then requested the shop assistant who had just sold me the luggage to ring the number of my driver
for me and she replied that it was the shop policy that they cannot use mobile phones while working in the
shop.
I got out of the shop onto the busy street in front and approached a young mother with her two kids to
make a request. As soon as I said “Excuse me, madam”， she grabbed both her kids and ran. I felt like a
kidnapper (绑匪)．
I stood there, wondering how many times I had reacted to strangers like the young mum. I stood there
in the busy street with people rushing by, looking at their faces to see if there was a sign of kindness on
their faces.
I saw a man pretty shabbily dressed. He seemed to have noticed me and I just stopped him expecting
him to rush past. My request escaped the lips. He immediately called the number of my driver and waited
till my car came to be sure I was picked up, and he turned around before I could thank him adequately and
was gone. I was surprised by his kindness and hope I will do likewise to strangers who try to catch my
attention from now on.
1．The author turned to others for help to ________.
A．charge up his dead phone

D．catch their attention to him
2．Who gave the author a helping hand at last?
A．The shop assistant.

D．Nobody.
3．Why did the author expect the man to rush past when stopping him?
A．The man may be too poor to own a phone.
B．The man didn't look safe.
更多资料添加微信号：hiknow_007 淘宝搜索店铺：乐知课堂C．The author found himself mistaken for a bad person.
D．The author was hopeless after seeking help in vain.
4．What does the author learn from his experience?
A．Do to others what you would like others to do to you.
B．Helping strangers is easier said than done.

II.完形填空
Ten years ago, I set out to examine luck. I wanted to know why some people are 1 in the right
place at the right time, while others consistently experienced ill fortune. I placed notices in national
newspapers asking for people who felt consistently lucky or unlucky to 2 me.
Hundreds of extraordinary men and women volunteered for my 3 . Over the years I interviewed
them, watched their lives and had them 4 various experiments.
I carried out a simple 5 to discover whether their differences in luck was due to differences in
their ability to 6 opportunities. I gave both the lucky and unlucky people a newspaper, and asked them
to look 7 it and tell me how many photographs were inside. I had secretly placed a large message
halfway through the newspaper saying … “Tell the experimenter you have seen this and win $50.”
This 8 took up half of the page and was written in type that was more than two inches high. It
was staring everyone straight in the face, but the unlucky people tended to 9 it and the lucky people
tended to spot it.
Unlucky people are generally more 10 than lucky people, and this anxiety affects their ability to
notice the unexpected. As a result, they miss opportunities because they are too focused on looking for
更多资料添加微信号：hiknow_007 淘宝搜索店铺：乐知课堂something else. They go to gatherings focused on finding their perfect partner and miss opportunities to
make good friends. They look through newspapers 11 to find certain types of job advertisements and
miss other types of 12 .
Lucky people are more 13 and open, and therefore see what is there rather than just what they are
looking for. My research eventually showed that lucky people create good fortune via four 14 . They
are skilled at creating and 15 chance opportunities, make lucky decisions by listening to their intuition
(直觉), create self-fulfilling prophesies (预言) via positive expectations and adopt a “never say die”
attitude that transforms bad luck into good.

【答案】1-5BACAB 6-10BABBA 11-15CADCB
【解析】这是一篇夹叙夹议的文章，作者探讨的是为什么有些人总能出现在正确的时间和地点，从
而获得成功，而有些人则一贯遭受厄运。作者通过实验研究得出结论：总能获得成功的人心态更放
松，更轻松，从而对周围事物的关注更广泛，更容易发现机会。而运气不佳的人总是比较紧张，经
历过于专注于某个特定的目标而忽略了其他的机会。
1. B 。我想知道为什么有人总会出现在合适的时间和地点，运气好的人是指一直很走运的人，偶
尔一次走运并不能说明一个人运气好，后文也有提示词consistently一贯地，所以此处为always
更多资料添加微信号：hiknow_007 淘宝搜索店铺：乐知课堂2. A 。我在报纸上登了通知，让那些感觉自己一直走运或一直不走运的人联系我。contact
3. C 。数以百计的人自愿来参加我的研究，文章最后一段与首段呼应，My research eventually
showed that lucky people create good fortune，所以此处选项为C，research
4. A 。这里叙述的是研究的过程，我采访他们，观察他们的生活，让他们参加各种实验。
participate in参加 learn about了解 look into 调查carry out实施，这些志愿者是参加各种实验，并非
实验的实施者，所以只有A选项正确。
5. B 。根据前文提示and had them 4 various experiments.所以选项为B
6. B 。由于他们识别机会的能力不同，此空后面有提示，the lucky people tended to spot it.所以答案
为B
7. A 。我让他们浏览一份报纸，后面提示They look through newspapers ，所以选项为A。
8. B 。这个消息占了整页的一半，前面提示：I had secretly placed a large message halfway through
the newspaper，所以选项为B。
9. B 。不走运的人往往会错过，后面有提示：They go to gatherings focused on finding their perfect
partner and miss opportunities to make good friends.所以选项为B。
10. A 。不走运的人总是感到很紧张， 后面的句子中 are generally more 10 than lucky people,
and this anxiety affects their ability ，与anxiety意思相近的词只能是A，nervous
11. C 。他们一心一意要找到某种工作广告，而忽略了其他种类的工作。此处只有C选项合适。
12. A 。解释同上。
13. D 。而好运的人总是很放松，这是和前面不走运的人进行对比，nervous与relaxed，两种完全
相反的态度。所以答案为D。
14. C 。幸运的人通过四个原则创造好运：他们善于创造和注意机会；通过听从直觉做出幸运的决
定；创造自我实现的预言；通过积极的期望，采取“永不言败”的态度，将坏运气转化为好运气。
以上四件事不分前后顺序，所以steps步骤一次不合适，goals目标和preferences偏好显然更不合适，
所以选项为principles 。
15. B 。解释同上
