comprehension (each 2 points, 20 points)directions: in this part there are two passages. each passage is followed with four suggested questions. choose the one that you think is the best.passage 1my cousin is getting married later this year. although he has been married before and so has his fiance(未婚妻), they are planning to have a traditional wedding. the weekend before the wedding, my cousin is having a “stag” night. traditionally this was held on the night before the marriage, but these days it is usually held a little earlier. it is a night when the groom(新郎)goes out with all his men friends and celebrates his last night of “freedom”. usually this involve drinking a lot of beer and playing silly games. often the grooms friends will play some kind of trick on the groom, like painting his face when he is drunk. my cousins fiance is also planning a “hen” night. this is like a stag night, except it is for the bride and her female friends.nowadays many people have their stag or hen nights in a hotel. many english people go to another city to celebrate , or even a city in another country like dublin or amsterdam. my cousin, who lives and works in london, is having his in edinburgh in scotland. we will all travel there by train or plane and stay together in a hotel in the center of the city.1. the authors cousin and his fiance are planning a traditional wedding even

2life is difficult.this is a great truth. it is a great truth because once we truly understand and accept it, then life is no longer difficult.most of people do not fully see this truth. instead, they complain about their problems and difficulties as if life should be easy. it seems to them that their difficulties represent a special kind of suffering especially forced upon them or else upon their families, their class, or even their nation.life is a series of problems. do we want to complain about them or solve them?what makes life difficult is that the process of facing and solving problems is a painful one. problems, depending on their nature, cause in us sadness or loneliness or regret or anger or fear. these are uncomfortable feelings, often as painful as any kind of physical pain. indeed, it si because of the pain which we have experienced that we call them problems. and since life causes an endless series of problems, life is always difficult and is full of pain as well as joy.yet, it is in this whole process of solving problems that life has its meaning. problems are the serious test that distinguishes between success and failure. it is only because of problems that we grow mentally and spiritually. when we desire to encourage the growth of the human spirit, we challenge and encourage the human capacity to solve problems, just as in school we wet problems for our children to solve. it is through the pain of meeting and working out problems that we learn. as benjamin franklin said, “those things that hurt, instruct.” it is for this reason that wise people learn not to fear but actually to welcome the pain of problems.6. which sentence best express the central point of the passage?a. problems and difficulties represent a special kind of suffering.b. we become stronger mentally and physically by facing and solving problems of life.c. life is difficult because our problems bring us pain.d. people like to complain about their problems.7. the author writes the

children difficult problems to solve in order to_.a. challenge them to learnb. teach them to avoid the pain of solving problemsc. help them learn to ignore paind. teach them to have respect for authority10. the quotation from benjamin franklin, “ those things that hurt, instruct” suggests that_ a. we do not learn from experienceb. we do not learn when we are in painc. pain teaches us
