14、t with a single line through the centre.| Passage One | It's plain common sense the more happiness you feel, the less unhappiness you experience. It's plain common sense, but it's not true. Recent research reveals that happiness and unhappiness are not really two sides of the same emotio

15、n. They are two distinct feelings that, coexisting, rise and fall independently. People might think that the higher a person's level of unhappiness, the lower his or her level of happiness and vice versa. But when researchers measure people's average levels of happiness and unhappiness, they

16、 often find little relationship between the two. The recognition that feelings of happiness and unhappiness can coexist much like love and hate in a close relationship may offer valuable clues on how to lead a happier life. It suggests, for example, that changing or avoiding things that make you mis

17、erable may well make you less miserable, but probably won't make you any happier. That advice is backed up by an extraordinary series of studies which indicate that a genetic predisposition ('性向)for unhappiness may run in certain families. On the other hand, researchers have found happinessd

18、oesn't appear to be anyone's heritage, The capacity for joy is a talent you develop largely for yourself. Psychologists have settled on a working definition of the feeling happiness is a sense of subjective well-being. They have also begun to find out who's happy, who isn't and why.

19、To date, the research hasn't found a simple formula for a happy fife, but it has discovered some of the actions and altitudes that seem to bring people closer to that most desired of feelings. Why is unhappiness less influenced by environment? When we are happy, we are more responsive to people

20、and keep up connections better than when we are feeling sad. This doesn't mean, however, that some people are born to tie sad and that's that. Genes may predispose one to unhappiness, but disposition can be influenced by personal choice. You can increase your happiness through your own actio

21、ns.31. Which of the following would be an appropriate title for this passage? A Happiness and UnhappinessTwo Sides of the Same Emotion B Happiness and UnhappinessTwo Distinct Feelings Coexisting C Emotions of Human Beings DHow to Change Unhappiness into Happiness32. What do people usually believe ab

22、out happiness? A It is a sense of subjective feeling. BIt is inherited rather than influenced by environment. CIt coexists with unhappiness. D It increases as unhappiness decreases.33. Which of the following statements is True according to the passage? A There is a strong relationship between the le

23、vel of happiness and that of unhappiness in a person. BUnhappiness is more influenced by environment than by genetics. C We cannot control our own happiness. DUnhappiness is inherited rather than influenced by environment.34. The phrase "To date" (Para 4) can be best replaced by "_&qu

24、ot;. A In addition B So far C Nevertheless D As a result35. "that's that" (Para 5) most probably means"_". Asome people are born to be sad and there is nothing they can do about it Bit is true that some people are born to be sad rather than happy Csome people are born to be s

25、ad, and they dont care about it Dsome people are born to be sad, but they don't realize it Passage Two Diogenes was the founder of the creed called Cynicism (大儒主义) ;he spent much of his life in the rich, lazy, corrupt Greek city of Corinth, mocking and satirizing its people, and occasionally con

26、verting one of them. He was not crazy. He was a philosopher who wrote plays and poems and essays expounding his doctrine; he talked to those who cared to listen; he had pupils who admired him. But he taught chiefly by example. All should live naturally, he said, for what is natural is normal and can

27、not possibly be evil or shameful. Live without conventions, which are artificial and false, escape complexities and superfluities(奢侈) and extravagances, only so can you live a free life. The rich man believes he possesses his big house with its many rooms and its elaborate furniture, his pictures an

28、d his expensive clothes, his horses and his servants and his bank accounts. He does not. He depends on them, he worries about them, he spends most of his life's energy looking after them, the thought of losing them makes him sick with anxiety. They possess him. He is their slave. In order to pro

29、cure a quantity of false, perishable goods he has sold the only true, lasting good, his own independence. Diogenes thought most people were only half-alive, most men only half-men. At bright noonday he walked through the market place carrying a lighted lamp and inspecting the face of everyone he met

30、. They asked him why. Diogenes answered, "I am trying to find a man." To a gentleman whose servant was putting on his shoes for him, Diogenes said, "You won't be really happy unlit he wipes your nose for you: that will come after you lose the use of your hands. And so he livedlike

31、 a dog, some said, because he cared nothing for privacy and other human conventions, and because he showed his teeth and barked at those whom he disliked. Now he was lying in the sunlight , as contented as a dog on the warm ground, happier than the Shah of Persia. Although he knew he was going to ha

32、ve an important visitor, he would not move.36. Which of the following statements would Diogenes agree to? APeople should be lazy and do what they want to. B Although you may be lazy or corrupt, you should be rich. C People should live a natural and simple life. D People should live like a dog.37. Wh

34、 Diogenes? A It means facility and convenience. BIt means superfluities and complexities. CIt means death and poverty. DIt means habits and customs.39. What kind of person was Diogenes? AHe was lazy and crazy. BHe could write plays and poems. CHe had no friends. DHe had no followers.40. What does Di

35、ogenes really mean in the third paragraph? AThe man will lose use of his hands if he goes on like that. BThe man will not be happy until he loses his hands. CThe man will be happy if he can still use his servants after losing his hands.DThe marts happiness is based on his privilege, which is nothing

36、. Passage Three It is all very well to blame traffic jams, the cost of petrol and the quick pace of modem Life, but manners on the roads are becoming horrible. Everybody knows that the nicest men become monsters behind the wheel. It is all very well, again, to have a tiger in the tank, but to have o

37、ne in the driver's seat is another matter altogether. You might tolerate the odd road-hog, the rude and inconsiderate driver, but nowadays the well-mannered motorist is the exception to die rule. Perhaps the situation calls for a "Be Kind to Other Drivers" campaign, otherwise it may ge

38、t completely out of hand. Road politeness is not only good manners, but good sense too. It takes the most cool-headed and good- tempered of drivers to resist the temptation to revenue when subjected to uncivilized behavior. On the other hand, a little politeness goes a long way towards relieving the

39、 tensions of motoring. A friendly nod or a wave of acknowledgement in response to an act of politeness helps to create an atmosphere of goodwill and tolerance so necessary in modem traffic conditions. But such acknowledgements of politeness are all too rare today. Many drivers nowadays don't eve

40、n seem able to recognize politeness when they see it. However, misplace politeness can also be dangerous. Typical examples are the driver who brakes violently to allow a car to emerge from a side street at some hazard lo following traffic, when a few seconds later the road would he clear anyway; or

41、the man who waves a child across a zebra crossing into the path of oncoming vehicles that may he unable to stop in time. The same goes for encouraging old ladies to cross the road wherever and whenever they care to. It always amazes me that the highways are not covered with the dead bodies of these

42、grannies, A veteran driver, whose manners are faultless, told me it would help if motorists learnt to filter correctly into traffic streams at a time without causing the total blockages that give rise to had temper. Unfortunately, modem motorists can't even learn to drive, let alone master the s

43、ubtler aspects of roadsmanship. Years ago theexperts warned us that the car-ownership explosion would demand a lot more give-and-take from all road users. It is high time for all of us to take this message to heart.41. According to this passage, troubles on the road are primarily caused by_. Apeople

44、's attitude towards the road-hog Bthe fast pace of modern life Cthe behavior of the driver Dtraffic conditions42. It can be inferred from the passage that_._. A our society is unjust towards well-mannered motorists B rude drivers can be met only occasionally C impolite drivers constitute me majo

45、rity of motorists Dwell-mannered motorist cannot bear the road-hog43. What does the author mean by "good sense" (Para.2)? AThe driver's ability to understand and react reasonably. BThe driver's prompt response to difficult and severe conditions. CThe driver's tolerance of rude

46、behavior. DThe driver's observation of politeness and regulations.44. What is the third paragraph mainly talking about? APoliteness could also lead to danger on the road if it is not used right. B Politeness is always appreciated on the road. CPoliteness helps to avoid a lot of trouble on the ro

47、ad. D Politeness should be encouraged with and ladies crossing the road,45. Experts have long pointed out that with more and more people owning cars _. A road users should make more sacrifice B drivers should be ready to yield to each other Cdrivers should have more communication among themselves D

48、there should be more road regulations for road users Passage Four The temperature of the Sun is over 5,000 degrees Fahrenheit at the surface, but it rises to perhaps more than 16 million degrees at the center. The Sun is so much hotter than the Earth that matter can exist only as a gas, except at th

49、e core. In the core of the Sun, the pressures are so great against the gases that, despite the high temperature, there may be a small solid core. However, no one really knows, since the center of the Sun can never be directly observed. Solar astronomers do not know that the Sun is divided into five

50、layers or zones. Starting at the outside and going down into the Sun, the zones are the corona, chromosphere, photosphere, convection zone, and finally the core. The first three zones are regarded as the Sun's atmosphere. But since the Sun has no solid surface, it is hard to tell where the atmos

51、phere ends and the main body of the Sun begins. The Sun's outermost layer begins about 10,000 miles above the visible surface and goes outward for millions of miles. This is the only part of the Sun that can be seen during an eclipse such as the one in February, 1979. At any other time, the coro

52、na can be seen only when special instruments are used on cameras and telescopes to shut out the glare of the Sun's rays. The corona is a brilliant, pearly white, filmy light, about as bright as the full Moon. Its beautiful rays are a sensational sight during an eclipse. The corona's rays fla

53、sh out in a brilliant fan near the Sun's north and south poles. The corona is thickest at the Sun's equator. The corona rays are made up of gases streaming outward at tremendous speeds and reaching a temperature of more than 2 million degrees Fahrenheit. The rays of gas thin out as they reac

54、h the space around the planets. By the time the Sun's corona rays reach the Earth, they are weak and invisible. 46. Which of the following statements is True according to the passage? A The temperature of the Sun drops gradually from the surface to the core. BThere is no solid substance in the Sun since it is so hot, CThe pressure is probably the greatest at
