1.[标准答案][C]how
[考点分析]连词辨析
[选项分析]根据语境，“新发现表明：快乐可能会影响工作__的稳定。”[A]为什么[B]哪里[C]怎样，多么[D]当…时候。根据语义分析，C选项填入原文，译为“快乐可能会影响工作是有多么稳定”，C为正确选项。
2.[标准答案][B]Inparticular
[考点分析]上下文语义以及短语辨析
[选项分析][A]反过来[B]尤其是[C]相反[D]总的来说根据前文语境，第二段第一句译为“根据近期的研究，拥有更多快乐的人的公司会投资更多”。而第二句“_______那些在快乐氛围中的公司会做更多的研发以及发展。“第二句是在第一句的基础上进一步强调说明，因此B选项更符合语境要求。
3.[标准答案][D]necessary
[考点分析]上下文语义及形容词词义辨析
[选项分析][A]充足的[B]著名的[C]完美的[D]必要的首先，根据本句题干“That’sbecausehappinessislinkedtothekindoflonger-termthinking3formakinginvestmentsforthefuture.”译为“因为快乐与对未来投资有______长远考虑相联系。”要求填写形容词,我们要考虑其搭配与其修饰成分。空格处搭配介词for,并且修饰“长远考虑”。因此D选项最符合语境要求。
4.[标准答案][C]optimism
[考点分析]上下文语义及名词词义辨析
[选项分析][A]个人主义[B]现代主义[C]乐观主义[D]现实主义本题考查同后缀的名词辨析。根据原文主旨，探讨“happypeople”与公司的关系。那么，衡量四个选项，只有C选项符合主旨要求。
5.[标准答案][D]change
[考点分析]上下文语义及动词词义辨析
[选项分析][A]发出回声[B]想念，错过[C]破坏[D]改变根据原文语境，“would5thewaycompaniesinvested.”本题考查动宾搭配，宾语为“公司投资的方式”只有D选项搭配最为合理。
6.[标准答案][B]measured
[选项分析][A]想象[B]衡量，测量[C]发明[D]假定，设想“SotheycomparedU.S.cities’averagehappiness6byGalluppollingwiththeinvestmentactivityofpubliclytradedfirmsinthoseareas.”译为“他们把盖洛普咨询公司所_____的美国城市平均幸福指数与该地区的上市公司投资活跃度进行对比。”根据原文语境，盖洛普咨询公司所做的应该是一个“既定事实”所以排除ACD。因此，B选项为最佳选项。
7.[标准答案][A]Sure
[考点分析]上下文语义及固定搭配
[选项分析][A]确信的[B]奇怪的[C]不幸运的[D]经常的本题为固定搭配“sureenough”译为“足以肯定的是，”
8.[标准答案][D]headquartered
9.[标准答案][A]explain
[选项分析][A]解释[B]夸大[C]概述[D]重点强调根据原文“…orouldsomethingelseabouthappiercities9whyfirmstherespendmoreonR&D”A选项“explain”常和后文“why”搭配使用。
10.[标准答案][B]factors
[选项分析][A]阶段[B]因素[C]等级[D]方法根据原文语境“Tofindout,theresearcherscontrolledforvarious10thatmightmakefirmsmorelikelytoinvest–likesize,industry,andsales…”本题中，破折号后面“大小，产业，销售”这些都是“让公司有更多投资的”因素。因此，B选项最符合原文语境。
11.[标准答案][A]desirable
[考点分析]上下文语义和形容词
12.[标准答案][B]held
[选项分析]该句算是这一段的总结句，该段整体在描述幸福与投资之间的关系，而这一link就只能得出了，只有[B]held”得出”符合语境。Aresumed“重新开始”，Cemerge“浮现”，Dbroke“破坏”。
13.[标准答案][A]attribute
[考点分析]上下文逻辑关系以及动词词组辨析
[选项分析]该空是一个which引导的定语从句的谓语动词所在地，动词的宾语就是前面的主句，强调“幸福与投资之间的关系尤其适用于新公司”这一结论与后面“所做决定会偏草率”之间的关系，能看出是一个因果关系，因此答案选择[A]attribute与to搭配表示“归因于……”，而[B]assignto表示“指派”[C]transferto“转移到”[D]compareto“与……比较”均不符合题意。
14.[标准答案][D]experienced
[选项分析]此处很简单，前面有一个并列连词and,与前面的young一致修饰managers,强调新公司的领导年轻并缺乏经验，只有[D]experienced最合适。
15.[标准答案][C]also
[考点分析]上下文逻辑关系以及副词词义辨析
[选项分析]前面说到了“年轻的新经理决策时更容易受情绪影响。”与后面的“这种关系在员工幸福指数_____的公司尤为明显。公司似乎乐于投资那些相对快乐的员工所在的部门，而不是那些不快乐的部门。”之间很明显是一种递进关系，所以只有[C]also合适。”
16.[标准答案][D]equally
[考点分析]上下文语义及副词词义辨析
[选项分析]这题是考察副词修饰spread,但是更要注意的是该句“这种关系在员工幸福指数_____的公司尤为明显。公司似乎乐于投资那些相对快乐的员工所在的部门，而不是那些不快乐的部门。”中该空与后面的inequality形成复现关系，所以很容易判断出答案选择[D]equally。
17.[标准答案][C]while
[考点分析]上下文逻辑关系
[选项分析]该题是典型的考察上下文逻辑关系的题目，因此着力点应该放在上一段和这一段之间的关系。这一段第一句明确说出“这并不证明是幸福导致公司大量投资……”，所以两句话之间是一个转折关系，选择while.
18.[标准答案][C]hints
19.[标准答案][A]shape
20.[标准答案][B]leantowards
[选项分析]上下文语义及动词词组词义辨析
[考点分析]本空考察动词词组，且该词组词义应与and前面意思保持一致，且作用对象为研发。[A]prayfor祈祷[B]leantowards倾向[C]giveaway放弃，泄露[D]sendout放出，给予。只有[B]选项能表达一种递进含义。
【全文翻译】
快乐的人工作起来会有不同。他们更多产，更有创造力，也更愿意去冒险。近期的一项研究表明快乐也可能会影响公司的工作。
研究者希望了解乐观精神和随快乐而来的冒险精神是否会改变公司投资的方式。因此，他们把盖洛普咨询公司所评估出的美国城市平均幸福指数与该地区的上市公司投资活跃度进行对比。
幸福与投资之间的关系尤其适用于新公司，这是因为新公司所做决定会偏草率，而且年轻的新经理决策时更容易受情绪影响。同样，这种关系在员工幸福指数相同的公司尤为明显。公司似乎乐于投资那些相对快乐的员工所在的部门，而不是那些不快乐的部门。
然而这并不证明是幸福导致公司大量投资，或者从长远的角度来讲，研究人员认为至少它预示着这种可能性。不难想象，本地文化以及情感有助于影响高管对于未来的看法。“快乐的人比普通人有预见性、创造力、更善于研发这种说法似乎更可信。”一位研究者说。

25.Theword“coax”(Line4,Para.6)isclosestinmeaningto____.
A.challenge
B.persuade
C.frighten
D.misguide
答案：
21答案Bremodelthewayofthinking.
解析：此题是文中人物观点题。根据Cortina定位到第二段前三句。Cortina认为尽早接触计算机科学是有益的。第三句It’snotashardforthemtotransformtheirthoughtprocessesasitisforolderstudents.译为在转变思维程序方面小孩不像年龄较大的学生一样困难，即Bremodelthewayofthinking转变思维方式即为同义替换。
22答案Dinterest
解析：此题是细节题。根据关键词Friedman定位到第四段第二句but之后引号里面内容“我们试图让课程符合学生兴趣”，故而Dinterest为正确答案。
23答案Ahelpstudentslearnothercomputerlanguages
解析：文中人物观点题。题干问的是DeborahSeehorn认为在Flatiron这里所学到的技能将能怎么样，据此定位到第五段But处，和题干基本一致，该句指出“Buttheskillstheylearn…appltoanycodinglanguage”，意思是他们学到的技能可以应用于任何编码语言。对比答案选项，A选项的意思是“帮助学生学习其他的计算机语言”属于原文定位处的同义替换。
24答案Cbecomebetterpreparedforthedigitalizedworld
解析：细节题。题干指出：根据最后一段，Flatiron的学生被期望去干什么。据此定位到最后一段的Thesekidsaregoingtobe处，是题干的同义复现。定位句“Thesekidsare…besurroundedbycomputersfortherestoftheirlives.Theyoungertheylearnhowcomputersthink…….thebetter.”，意思是学生们越早学越好。C选项“为数字化的未来做更好的准备”是同义概述。
25答案Bpersuade
解析：词义句意题，结合上下文来解题。根据coax此单词，定位到最后一段最后一句“howtocoaxthemachineintoproducingwhattheywant”，考察固定搭配“persuade…into…”。A选项挑战，B选项劝服，C选项使恐慌，D选项误导。考生做题时一定要注意结合上下文来推测生词的词义，这是命题人的出题规律。

Biologistsestimatethatasmanyas2millionlesserprairiechickens---akindofbirdlivingonstretchinggrasslands—oncelentredtotheoftengraylandscapeofthemidwesternandsouthwesternUnitedStates.Butjustsome22,000birdsremaintoday,occupyingabout16%ofthespecies’historicrange.

[D]theplanunderchallenge
26答案Aitsdrasticallydecreasedpopulation
解析：此题是原因细节题。根据关键词定位到第一段But前后关于lesserprairiechickens数量2million和22,000的强烈对比。此外第二段第二句“thelesserprairiechickenisinadesperatesituation”都可以得知Aitsdrasticallydecreasedpopulation数量的急剧下降为正确答案。
27答案Cgrantedlessfederalregulatorypowers
解析：此题是原因细节题。根据关键词定位到第二段第四句，Theyhad…,astatethatgivesfederalofficialsgreaterregulatorypower.而But之后是截然相反的事实，即政府授予了更少的管理权。故而Cgrantedlessfederalregulatorypowers为正确答案。
28答案Aagreetopayasumforcompensation
解析：推断题。题干问的是从第三段推出来：无意伤害的那些人是不会被检举的如果怎么样。根据题干定位到第三段首句“itwouldnotprosecute….aslongas….”，题干中问的if即原文的aslongas的同意替换，原文aslongas的意思是：只要他们签署了计划。下一句说道，该计划要求个体和企业去支付基金。对应选项A选项“赞同支付赔偿”属于同义替换。
29答案Dthestates
解析：此题是细节题。根据关键词定位到第三段最后一句theideaistoletthe“states”remaininthedriver’sseatformanagingthespecies,Ashesaid.其中inthedriver’sseat对应题干中的theleadingrole,故而Dstates为正确答案。
30答案Cenvironmentalgroups
解析：文中人物观点题。题干问的是JayLininger最可能支持谁，大写人名定位到末段最后一句。最后一句提到：生物学家JayLininger说道联邦政府要把责任推给导致鸟类灭绝的企业，显然是对政府和企业的反对。再往前看一句，指出：企业团体和政府部门观点一致，环境学家与其观点恰巧一致。因此，JayLininger最支持环境团体的观点了。

32答案Bmakepassingtimefulfilling
33答案Dachieveimmersivereading
34答案Areadingbecomesyourprimarybusinessoftheday
解析：细节题。题干指出：总是带一本书会起作用如果怎么样。根据题干定位到末段中间部分“carryabookwithyouatalltimescanactuallywork,too…sothatreadingbecomesthedefaultstatefromwhichyoutemporarilysurfacetotakecareofbusiness.”，意思是这样的话阅读就成为默认状态，偶尔会出来管理工作(注意business并非默认状态，非主要事情)。对应选项A阅读成为每天的主要任务，是该句的同义替换。

意料之中的小标题。首先明确7个选项的意思。
首先应当把握本文的出发点，也就是41题目之前的关键句：我们应该从孩子身上学习一些东西。“捉住本中心，每个标题都是提醒成人可以从孩子身上得到一些启示。
41.C表达情感。开头以问句的方式：“孩子悲伤时会怎样孩子生气时会如何他们的表达方式与大人不同，成人更多会选择压抑情感，并且会有不好的后果，比如致病。紧接着最后一句算是总结句：我们要找到一种合适的方式表达，像孩子那样。重点在哪里整段不离的中心意思，重复的出现那就是情感的表达喽。选项为C
42.E举例子的目的无非是为了证明观点。但是从例子也是可以总结出想要表达的意思的。讲到一个小女孩因为一个廉价的圣诞礼物就可以高兴，并且很快乐，就旨在讲小小的幸福。再来看看例子后面的观点。提到成人的世界里所谓的车啊，房啊之类的貌似会让我们幸福的东西其实不然。所以一个instead直接把本段的中心意思表达了出来，那就是幸福来自于小小的事情。对应选项E
43.A一句话出现在第二句。问句之后，如果我们能够“愚蠢“那么一点点，我们将会有各种好处，对不对。那么这一段几乎大段的篇幅都花在这一句上了，主旨更加明显那就是：去这样做吧。Besilly.
45.D不要可以去想怎样才幸福，应用了哲人的一句话来说明这个道理，旨在告诉大家当让是过程就是幸福的了。最后可以用排除法。G寻求帮助根本未提及。F选项可以直接排除。那么对应关系，来看看D不要想太多。“无欲无求，本就是幸福啦。“最终选定D

作为写作B部分的小作文总分10分，大家要抓住得分点。小作文在评分时有如下评分要点：1.信息点——覆盖全面;2.内容——组织连贯;3.语言——准确性;4.格式——符合要求;5.语域——恰当。
预料之中，今年英语二的小作文再次考查了书信体，并且考查的信件可以说是杂糅型的。这在2011年英语二中出现了同样的考查方式：
SupposeyourcousinLIMINGhasjustbeenadmittedtoauniversitywritehim/heraletterto：
(1)Congratulatehim/her，and
(2)givehim/hersuggestionsonhowtogetpreparedforuniversitylife
Youshouldwriteabout100wordsonANSWERSHEET2.DOnotsignyourownnameattheendoftheletter，Usezhangwei.
(3)Congratulatehim/her，and
(4)givehim/hersuggestionsonhowtogetpreparedforuniversitylife
同样的考查方式，足以说明一件事情——绝对要重视考研真题。老师们总在强调真题的重要性，好多同学不与重视，希望大家以后一定要强化这种认识。
下面我们来详细解读下今年的小作文，首先看一下题目要求：
称呼：DearJack注意称呼中，后面的逗号不可丢，也不能写成冒号。
正文
建议大家三步走策略——简洁、直接、明了：写作目的、写作是由、重申目的
第一段：写作内容需涵盖两点：写信目的，表明感谢来自朋友的祝贺;可以采用这样的表达方式：I’mwritingtoexpressmygratitudeforyourcongratulationonmysuccessinthetranslationcontest.
第二段：写作内容应以建议为主体。在这个过程中可以把日常我们如何提高的方式写进正文，比如多加练习、多与外国人交流，多多接触国际事务等。本篇老师主要从这些方面进行论述，表达如下Asregardtomyexperience,Iwouldliketoofferyousomeproposalsinthispart.Firstandforemost,Istronglysuggestyouthatyouneedtopracticewithpainstakingeffortinthisfield.What’smore,youhadbetterhavemorecommunicationwithforeigners,whichguaranteesthatyouhaveadeepunderstandingofforeignculture.Lastbutnotleast,youaresupposedtoparticipateinsomeinternationaleventstoaccumulateawealthofpracticalexperience.
第三段：再次强调重申写信目的，如ThaThanksagainandIdohopeyoucouldtakemysuggestionsintoconsideration.Iwishyouhavegoodluckandmakeagreatsuccessinyourfuturestudy.
落款：Yourssincerely,特别提醒sincerely后面逗号不能丢;签名：LiMing特别注意Ming后面一定不能出现句点。

作文解析
今年英语二作文的题目比较好写，因为标题和图示非常清晰明白。图表显示了某高校学生旅游目的调查,考生分析原因的话也会很简单。下面分三段简要地说一下这三段应该怎么写。
第一段主要是描述图表。图表一目了然，数量词百分比也是大家熟悉的词汇，表述数据时，图中有四五组数据，由于字数的限制以及为了写作的便利可以突出较大比例的“欣赏风景”和“缓解压力”，注意引入百分比的表达方式。
最后结尾段落可简要得出结论，这种现象并不奇怪，还将继续下去。
