"Happiness," said the Englishman, "Happiness is when you return home tired after work, yet find your slippers(拖鞋) warming by the fire.""You English have no romance," said the Frenchman. "Happiness is when you go on a business trip, meet a pretty girl who entertains(招待) you －then afterwards you part（分手）without regrets.""You are both wrong," said the Russian. "True happiness is when you are at home in bed and at 4:00 a.m., you hear a ring at the door and outside stand the secret police, who say to you, 'Ivan ,Ivan, you are under arrest(逮捕)', and you say, 'Sorry, Ivan lives next door.'"【】25. The Englishman's happiness suggests that _______.A. he should have no time to warm his slippersB. he enjoys the warmth of the familyC. he thinks it the most important to have slippersD. he wants someone to warm his slippers【】26. The meaning of the Russian's words is that _______.A. he would like to have a good sleep at nightB. he will feel happy if his neighbour is arrestedC. he thinks it happiness to feel safeD. he will feel afraid if anyone knocks at his door at night【】27. The best title for this story is “__________”.A. The difference in HappinessB. How to Get HappinessC. The Definition (定义) of HappinessD. The Importance of HappinessBEducation is not an end, but a means（手段）to an end. In other words, we do not educate children only for the purpose of educating them. Our purpose is to fit them for life.In some modern countries it has for some time been fashionable to think that by free education for all whether rich or poor, clever or stupid-one can solve all the problems of society and build a perfect nation. But we can already see that free education for all is not enough; we find in such countries a far larger number of people with university degrees(学历) refuse to do what they think to be "low" work, and, in fact, work with hands is thought to be dirty and shameful(害羞) these days. But we have only to think a moment to understand that the work of a completely uneducated farmer is far more important than that of a professor. We can live without education, but we will die if we have no food. If no one cleaned our streets and took the rubbish away from our houses, we should get terrible diseases in our towns.In fact, when we say that all of us must be educated to fit us for life, it means that we must be educated in such a way that, firstly, each of us can do whatever work suited to his brains and ability and, secondly, that we can realize that all jobs are necessary to society, and that is very bad to be ashamed of one's work. Only such a type of education can be considered valuable to society.【】28.The writer wants to prove that _____.A. our society needs all kinds of jobsB. our society needs free education for allC. a farmer is more important than a professorD. people with university degrees earn more money【】29. According to the passage _____.A. work with hands is dirty and shamefulB. work with hands is low workC. work with hands is the most importantD. we can't regard work with hands as low work 【】30. The purpose of education is _____.A. to choose a system of educationB. to let everyone receive educationC. to prepare children for their future workD. to build a perfect worldCMilan has more than fashion.FOOD, football, and fashion – Milan has it all. The city is perhaps most famous for its annual (一年一度的) Milan Fashion Week and its world-class soccer teams AC Milan and Inter Milan. And May will see it host the six-month Milan Expo(米兰世博会), the theme of which is food and nutrition（营养）.Milan may not be the first place tourists think of when they think of Italy. Rome is the most famous city in Italian history, Venice draws visitors who want to travel along its canals(运河) and Florence is popular with the art lovers. Yet Milan can often be let off tourists’ lists. But although some see Milan as the “Ugly Sister” of these cities, in 2015, the city is “Suddenly back in fashion in a big way”.The delicious Milan Expo will look at the future of food, trying to answer the question of how Earth’s fast-growing population can be fed in the future. According to the Lonely Planet website, “144 countries will set up shops in northwest of central Milan, forming a mini city-within-a-city”.Mi lan’s famous opera house, La Scala, normally(通常地) closed in the summer, will also host daily performances during the Expo, reported Fox News.Not interested in opera? Don’t worry. Visitors who prefer sports may want to visit the San Siro Stadium(体育馆), home of the soccer teams AC Milan and Inter Milan. The stadium is one of the most famous in Europe and has seen many important games over the years, both in Series A (甲级联赛) and the Euro pean Champions league（欧比赛）.So even if all of its fashion and beautiful people can make Milan seem “Soulless(缺乏灵魂的)”as Lonely Planet said, it still has “a serious sense of history and place”. Many people will be discovering it this year, and eating great food from all over the world to help solve world problems. Will you?【】31. Which of the following statements is TRUE about the city of Milan?A. It is the largest city in Italy and has the longest history.B. It is hosting the world’s largest Fashion Week in 2015.C. Football, fashion and ancient canals are three features of the city.D. The cit y’s La Scala opera house will offer additional performances in 2015.【】32. Which of the following features of Milan are mentioned in t he article?a. economyb. sportsc. cultural performances and activitiesd. geography and populatione. fashionA. acdB. bceC. bdeD. bcd【】33. The author’s purpose in writing this article is to ______.A. give an introduction to Milan as a good choice for travelingB. tell readers about the theme and activities of the 2015 Milan ExpoC. give an proper review of the food culture in MilanD. explain why Milan will be holding the world Expo in 2015DPeople like to tell me rubbish. Not just friends, but strangers ,too.Once, at the airport, my husband stepped off an escalator(自动扶梯) before me. When he realized Iwasn’t with him, he looked back and saw me hugging ( 拥抱) a stranger.I’d asked the man behind me: “Did you have fun in Vegas?”His answer broke me heart. After 50 years away, I’d come to say goodbye to the lover of his life, who was dying of cancer.“I should have married her 50 years ago,” he said. I hugged him, and then he was gone.Moments later, my husband said: “He told you all that on the escalator?” I nodded.“Maybe he just needed to tell somebody, And I happened to ask.”When someone wants to talk, you just need to ask a question. The words don’t matter. It’s the tone (语调)in your voice and the look in your eyes and the caring in yo ur heart that count.Sometimes I think the whole world is crying out to be heard.And yet, we don’t ask the question or say the things we need to say to those who matter most to us whilethere is still time, and a chance, to do so.Recently I heard from a reader who shared with me the eulogy(悼词) she’d written after losing hermother.I wish her mother could have read it. I can only hope her mother knew all the things her daughter wroteabout her—that she was known so well and loved so much.I like to think people will say a few nice things about me when I’m gone. But given a choice, I wouldrather hear those things before I go. Wouldn’t we all?T hat started me thinking. I need to tell my children I am proud of them. They know it, but it can’t hurt tosay it again.I need to tell my sister I will forever in her debt(欠她的情). I was the one who left. She was the onewho stayed, who’s “been there” for our family—for our mother, our dad, our brothers and me.And to my husband, I need to say, well, he puts up with a lot.In fact, I need to say a lot of things to whole lot of people. Maybe you do, too. You can tell me, if youwant. But maybe you should tell them first.【】34. What happened to the writer at the airport in Los Vegas?A. She developed a friendship with a stranger.B. She helped a stranger with cancer on the escalator.C. She listened to a stranger’s story and hugged him.D. She told a stranger the story of her stay in Los Vegas【】35. According to the writer, what matters least when someone wants to talk?A. The question you ask.B. The way you speak.C. The way you look at someone.D. the caring in your heart.【】36. What does the underlined word “who” stand for in the article?A. A woman the stranger loved very much but failed to marry.B. A woman the stranger married 50 years ago and left for some reason.C. A woman the stranger loved very much and succeeded in marrying.D.The writer’s sister whose debt the writer will be forever in.【】37. What does the writer want to tell us with the article?A.It’s never too late to express your love.B.It’s better to say what you need to say before it’s too late.C.We should care about strangers to make the world better.D.We should be careful about what we say to our beloved ones.第二卷（主观题共40分）五、词汇运用（本大题共8小题，每小题1分，共8分）(A) 根据句意和汉语注释，写出单词的正确形式。

My answer is“no”，and doing so hurts the environment and your wallet.First of all，there are no studies showing that bottled water is better for you，andin fact，it may be less safe than tap water. A study of over l，000 people in Belfast found that they couldn't tell the differences between tap water and bottled water when asked which was purer，more pleasant，natural and refreshing. Bottled water can come from springs(泉水)or from the mountains. It can also be treated，for example，to h ave iron(铁)removed. It is reported that there is around 82.8g of CO2 for a half-liter(半公升)bottle. This will be harmful to people's health when everyone's drinking it. How ever，bottled water is popular with many people. Its success is from excellent marketing and our laziness in filling reusable bottles with tap water.Secondly，bottled water can cost between 500 to 1，000 times more than dap water. In 2015，the UK drank 2.4 billion liters o of bottled water，and by 2016 this had risen to 2.6 billion liters. Yet，you get this from the tap，for free.Besides，recycling is improving, but in America, it is said that only a quarter of bottles can be used again. So is it really so much better that it is worth both paying for and harming the earth? Or should you stop buying it ?As a general rude，I believe that most of us should enjoy more tap water，and stop using so many bottles.31. Why do many people like bottled water?A. Because bottled water has iron remolded.B. Because bottled water has cheaper than tap water.C. Because there's around 82.8g of CO2 for a bottle.D. Because people are Iazy to fill reusable bottles with tap water.32. What can we learn from the numbers in the third paragraph?A. People spend more and more money on bottled wader every year.B. Bottled water sells well because of its excellent marketing.C. More people begin to drink tap water to save money.D. The British drink the most battled water in the world.33. What does the writer mainly talk about in the passage?A. Haw tap water should be drunk.B. The advantages of drinking tap wader.C. Why people like drinking bottled water.D. The disadvantages of drinking bottled water.DFor too many，the damage begins early in life. Four out of 10 babies born in the UnitedStates do not form a strong relationship with either parent，and they will pay for that the rest of their lives.New research from Princeton University confirms what other researchers have already found: The number of babies born into families that are too poorly equipped(装备、配备)to give them a fair chance of having a successful life is very big.That finding is supported by many other research Projects，including a study fromthe University of Rochester showing that nearly one-third of U.S. parents don't know what to expect from their newhorns，or how to help them grow and learn and get along with others. Babies，as others have pointed out，don't come with an owner's manual.The basic problem, according to the Princeton study, is 40 percent of infants in the U.S. live in fear or distrust of their parents, and that will turn into aggressiveness（侵犯）, defiance（挑衅）and hyperactivity（多动）as they grow into adults.Of that number, 25 percent don't have a close relationship with their parents because the parents don't satisfy their needs. And 15 percent find their parents so troubling that they will avoid them whenever possible.That will not necessarily result in a lifetime of violence(暴力), but it will make living a successful life much more difficult.“They can overcome(克服) it,”sociologist (社会科学家)Sophie Moullin of Princeton, lead author(作者) of that study, said in a telephone interview. “It's not a make or break situation, but they might find it harder to control their behavior.”Moullin, along with coauthors from Columbia University and the University of Bristol in England, analyzed(分析) more than 100 research projects, to reach their conclusions.There are many factors, including poverty(贫穷), ignorance（无知）, and stress among parents who are so busy with their own problems that a new child is sometimes more than they can deal with.Yet strong relationships, the researchers say, are amazingly simple to achieve.34. According to the writing style of the passage, it may be a(n) _________.A. news reportB. book reportC. novelD. review35. What is the meaning of the underlined word “manual”in Paragraph 3?A. An actor who tells you how to take care of a baby.B. A book that tells you how to do or operate something.C. A TV show that tells you how to make a relationship with your baby.D. A radio program explaining how to look after your baby.36. What do you think is the best title of this passage?A. It's harder to control children's behavior.B. What a little love means to a little one.C. The problems of the parents in the United States.D. The problems of the children in the United Sates.37. What may be discussed in the following paragraph?A. Findings of other similar project concerning this topic.B. Examples of the results of lacking string relationships.C. Simple ways of achieving strong relationships with a baby.D. Reasons for failing in building up string relationships with a child.四、词汇检测(共10小题，每小题1分，满分10分)根据下列句子及所给汉语注释或通过上下文，写出空缺处各单词的正确形式。

AHave you ever woken up feeling that something was wrong?It was a day like that for me．I sat up in bed．A little later I opened the curtains．It was terrible weather—the rain was pouring down．Then I looked down into the yard．Yes! There it was—the motorcycle．It was just as broken as last night．And my leg was starting to hurt．26．Something had happened to the person in the story the night before．What was it?A．The bad weather had broken the motorcycle．B．The bad weather had stopped the person from going outside．C．The person had bought a new motorcycle．D．The person had been in a motorcycle accident．27．“It was a day like that for me．”What kind of day did this turn out to be?A．A good day． B．A bad day． C．An exciting day． D．A boring day．2 8．Why does the writer begin the story with a question?A．Because the writer wants to know the answer．B．To make the readers interested in the story．C．Because the question is hard to answer．D．To remind the reader that this kind of experience is rare．BAre people less happy or happier when they get older? If your answer is“happier”，then you are right，based on a study published seven years ago．It found that people become happier and experience less worry after age fifty．In fact，it found that by the age of eighty-five，people are happier with their life than they were at eighteen．The finding came from a Gallup survey of more than three hundred and forty thousand adults in the United States in 2008．At that time，people were between the ages of eighteen and eighty-five． Arthur Stone in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Science at Stony Brook University in New York led the study．His team found that levels of stress were the highest among adults between the ages of twenty-two and twenty-five．Stress levels dropped sharply(急剧)after people reached their fifties．Levels of happiness were the highest among the kids and those in their early seventies．The survey also found that men and women have similar emotional patterns(情感模式)as they grow older．However, women at all ages reported more sadness，stress and worry than men did．So why would happiness increase with age?
