15、 of the 11 top spots in the immigrant happiness category (including Mexico 24th overall, but 10th in immigration).“The most striking finding of the report is the remarkable consistency between the happiness of immigrants and the locally born,” Helliwell said in a statement. “Although immigrants come

Those who move to happier countries gain, while those who move to less happy countries lose.”Other major world powers placed in significantly low spots o

The function, however, took on meaning and became a form of communication whic
24、h - 6 -signals anger.The same may be true for the animals. Baby monkeys cry for attention. They also cry to signal to an adult that they want to be carried.“Chimpanzees do make upset voice when they are being weaned (断奶) by their mothers or have lost their mothers or another individual,” says Anne P
25、usey, a professor at the University of Minnesota. “They whimper and cry and scream. When we hear these calls, the emotion involved seems obvious. However, they do not weep in the sense of producing tears. I have seen an adolescent male whimpering when he lost sight of his older brother with whom he
26、had been traveling.”Babies of many mammalian species, including rats, cry. Moreover, when a baby rat cries, often his mother brings the fallen pup back into the nest. This is probably a straightforward communication, as it is with humans. However, psychologists at the University of Iowa arent convin
27、ced.The Iowan researchers can cause the same crying sounds by producing large decreases and then increases in blood flow. The blood flow also goes down when baby rats get cold. Thus, they conclude baby rats cry in the same way that we sneeze. Of course the rat baby could be crying because hes cold a
28、nd wants his mother to know. “All young mammals make cries when separated from their mother,” says Jaak Panksepp, a psychologist at Bowling GreenStateUniversity. “If youre willing to call this crying, then certainly other animals show this emotional response.” he says, “Some of us take seriously tha
29、t animals do have emotions.”26. According to the first paragraph, what kind of emotion does “exposing the teeth” express?A. Disappointment. B. Excitement. C. Anger. D. Happiness.27.

32、ng: choice. Whether you wanted to play games, read the news, or do a thousand other things, there was something for whatever you desired.Then something funny happened. Logging into the App Store today is like going into a shopping mall with only a coupon(优惠券 ) for one thing: Theres so much choice; i
33、t might be easier to give up than to choose.It isnt consumers who are burdened, though. Too much content of all kinds also has economic effects. When countless choices are available, it causes pressure, pushing prices down and driving us a bit crazy.So what is the way forward? It may well be to turn
34、 less choice itself to the marketing strategy. There are already signs that this is happening. Firstly, content companies are looking to prevent their offerings from getting lost in the tons of stuff. Most obvious is Disney, which is planning to open its own streaming service next year. The point is
35、 to narrow the focus so that those seeking Disney cartoons will have one place to go, rather than being around various services.- 8 -Yet if that represents a careful first step, there are more extreme options too. Consider the idea of a wine club: from tens of thousands of bottles each year, subscri

Perhaps what comes next for digital content is similar-carefully selected offerings from trusted sources that put choices in the hands of someone else in order to get rid of the anxiety of choosing.Up to now, too much choice in digital media has
37、only one solution: the algorithm（运算法则）. But weve seen the trouble with algorithms on YouTube. They feed you only what youve already said you like, not things you may not know youre into. Worse, they have a tendency to serve up disturbing content the way forward which cant simply be more or better al
38、gorithms.Instead, its time for digital companies to start thinking about how to put limits on things: on how much we can use a device, or what we are available to choose from.As we move further into the digital revolution, what people ask for is clear: Less31. What will too much choice of content on

They found that climate played a key role in shaping our noses. The findings were based on an e
44、xamination of the size and shape of noses of 476 people from four regions-West Africa, East Asia, South Asia and Northern Europe. _37_ With the help of it, the researchers can get the results more accurately. “People have thought for a long time the difference in nose shape among humans across the w
45、orld may have arisen as a result of natural selection because of climate,” Arslan Zaidi, one of the lead authors of the study said. But while previous studies were based on measurements from human skulls, Zaidi and his team looked at nose shape itself. _38_ They looked at the width of the nostrils (
46、鼻孔 ), the distance between nostrils, the height, length and angle of the nose, and the size of the nose and the nostrils.The result showed that wider noses are more common in warm and humid climates, while narrower noses are more common in cold and dry climates. _39_ This, in turn, led to a gradual
47、decrease in nose width in populations living far away from the equator.According to Zaidi, now we have only known a little about the relationship - 10 -between climate and nose shape. _40_ Through further study, researchers believe that they will get more findings which are valuable in understanding
48、 potential health issues in the future. A. There are a variety of nose shapes across the world.B. They examined seven nose traits (特征) that differ across populations and geographical areas. C. But more study is still needed to test the link between them. D. And 3D facial imaging technology is used i
49、n the study. E. If not, the climate may be to blame, not our parents. F. The nose shapes are determined by many factors.G. That, Zaidi said, could be because narrower nose help to increase the wetness content of air and warm it.第三部分英语知识运用第一节：完型填空（共 20 小题，每小题 1.5 分，满分 30 分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项(A、B、C 和 D)中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。Weve heard it before-weve heard it on the news, from teachers, from parents-chi
