Question

【題目】 It’s said that both work and play are important for a developing mind, Though it may be important for everyone to work hard, it is also important to relax from time to time.

Last year, the average amount of leisure time (人平休閑時間) for Chinese people was 2.84 hours per day, higher than 2017’s average of 2.27 hours according to the China Media Group (CMG).

CMG’s surveys focus on the happiness of China’s population. The surveys, which began in 2006, cover many areas, including leisure time, vacations and spending habits. Each year, CMG surveys around 100,000 households (家庭) across the country, the Paper noted.

This year’s survey also showed what people prefer to do during their leisure time. Seven in ten people enjoy surfing the internet, while 55 percent like to watch TV and 46 percent prefer shopping.

What’s more interesting is that people in different provinces like to do different things. For example, people in Guangxi like reading books. Those who live in Tianjin prefer to go to a concert or movie. People in Jilin province prefer to exercise.

In general, people are happier when they have more leisure time, the survey suggests Having enough leisure time has even become more important than income (收入) for Chinese people, CGTN noted.

However, it is still important to work as well. Working hard during part of the day makes leisure time more valuable and enjoyable, CCTV News reported.

CMG has also found that over the last 10 years, Chinese people have generally become happier. In 2018, over half of Chinese people felt pleased with their living condition.

【1】句意：2018年中國人的平均休閑時間高于2017年。根據(jù)Last year, the average amount of leisure time (人平休閑時間) for Chinese people was 2.84 hours per day, higher than 2017’s average of 2.27 hours according to the China Media Group (CMG). 去年，中國人的平均休閑時間為每天2.84小時，高于中國傳媒集團（CMG）2017年的平均2.27小時�？芍�，2018年中國人的平均休閑時間高于2017年。故答案為：higher。

【2】句意：CMG的調(diào)查包括休閑時間、度假和消費習慣。根據(jù)The surveys, which began in 2006, cover many areas, including leisure time, vacations and spending habits. 該調(diào)查始于2006年，涵蓋了許多領域，包括休閑時間、度假和消費習慣�？芍�，CMG的調(diào)查包括休閑時間、度假和消費習慣。因此本題應該選擇include；又因為本題陳述的是一種事實，因此應該用一般現(xiàn)在時，主語CMG’ s surveys為復數(shù)，所以謂語用動詞原形。故答案為：include。

【3】句意：廣西人喜歡做的事和吉林人不一樣。根據(jù)For example, people in Guangxi like reading books. Those who live in Tianjin prefer to go to a concert or movie. People in Jilin province prefer to exercise. 例如，廣西人喜歡讀書。住在天津的人更喜歡聽音樂會或看電影。吉林省的人喜歡運動�？芍�，廣西人喜歡做的事和吉林人是不一樣的。因此考查短語be different from……與……不同；故答案為：different from。

【4】句意：一天中的一部分時間努力工作會使閑暇時間更有價值和樂趣。根據(jù)However, it is still important to work as well. Working hard during part of the day makes leisure time more valuable and enjoyable, CCTV News reported. 可知，然而，工作也是很重要的。據(jù)《中央電視臺新聞》報道，一天中的一段時間里，努力工作會使閑暇時間變得更有價值和樂趣。所以答案為：more valuable。

【5】句意：中國人普遍變得更幸福，超過一半的人對過去幾年的生活狀況感到滿意。根據(jù)In 2018, over half of Chinese people felt pleased with their living condition. 2018年，超過一半的中國人對自己的生活條件感到滿意。本題考查feel pleased/satisfied with：對……感到滿意。故答案為：pleased/satisfied。
