Which of the following is the title (题目) of the story?A. The Mirror of the StationB. Not A Careful ManC. Missing A BusD. The Clock In The MirrorDHappiness is for everyone. You don’t need to care about those people who have beautiful houses with large gardens and swimming pools or those who have nice cars and a lot of money and so on. Why? Because those who have big houses may often feel lonely and those who have cars may want to walk on the country roads at their free time.In fact, happiness is always around you if you put your heart into it. When you are in trouble at school, your friends will helpyou; when you study hard at your lessons, your parents are always taking good care of your life and your health; when you get success, your friends will say congratulations to you; when you do something wrong, people around you will help you to correct it. And when you do something good to others, you will feel happy, too. All these are your happiness. If you notice them, you can see that happiness is always around you.Happiness is not the same as money. It is a feeling of your heart. When you are poor, you can also say you are very happy, because you have something else that can't be bought with money. When you meet with difficulties, you can say loudly you are very happy, because you have more chances to challenge yourself. So you cannot always say you are poor and you have bad luck. As the saying goes, life is like a revolving (旋转) door. When it closes, it also opens. If you take every chance you get, you can be a happy and lucky person.51. Happiness is for_________.A. those who have large and beautiful housesB. those who have carsC. those who have a lot of moneyD. all people52.

Because .A. money always brings happinessB. money doesn't always bring happinessC. everything can be bought with moneyD. only rich people have happiness55. Which is the title of the passage? ____________.A. HappinessB. Happy and LuckyC. Do Something Good to OthersD. Life and Success四、听力填表(共5小题，计5分)听录音两遍后，根据所听内容完成下面的表格(每空不多于四个词)。

Growing Pains.B At just 17 years old, Pakistan’s Malala is the youngest ever winner of the Nobel Peace Prize.Malala came to international attention when she spoke up for the rights of all children to have an education. Malala’s father was a teacher who ran a school. For her early life, her family lived in the school so she was used to sitting in the classrooms before her school age. Now, she can speak three languages and loves learning.She grew up in Pakistan. The living conditions in her area were very poor and unsafe. Many people were hurt and many schools were closed. Especially girls were not allowed to go to school.Reporters from Britain told the world what was happening with the help of Malala. In 2009, 12-years-old Malala wrote 35 diaries on the Internet. She wrote about the difficulties of her life, and about her strong hope for education. Soon after that, Malala’s family was chosen to be in aTV program to show ordinary children’s education because both father and daughter spoke good English, and they cared about children getting an education.From then on, a few people hated her and hurt her. Though terribly wounded, Malala became a courageous fighter for the education rights of millions of girls worldwide. “I don’t want to be remembered as the girl who was hurt. I want to be remembered as the girl who stood up,” she said.She has now written a book about her life called I am Malala . The book shows that oneperson’s voice has the power to inspire change in the world. In her speech, she spoke warmly about her aims for education and peace. One sentences she said one day became famous: One child, one teacher, one pen and one book can greatly change the world. 34. Many people around the world began to know Malala because__________. A. she could speak three languages in all B. her father ran a school for the young C. she fought for all children’s education D. she got an education when she was young35. It can be inferred that Malala is a _______ girl from Paragraph Five. A. brave B. lively C. cleverD. careful 36. The underlined word “inspire ” in the last paragraph might mean “_________”.A. describeB. compareC. celebrateD. encourage37. The purpose of this passage is mainly to _________. A. introduce people’s living conditions in PakistanB. suggest more news reporters pay attention to the girl MalalaC. let people realize the importance of all children’s educationD. tell more people to give opinions on kid’s education in PakistanCHere are three toys on the 2016 US hot toy list.Why? It has something to do with the quality of the toys. Companies are not allowed to lie. But they can try to make you believe that you want something. Keep your eyes open for these marketing tricks (策略).Showing Famous FacesWhy is Simone Bile’s picture on your breakfast box? Why does Taylor Swift drink Diet Coke ? They may love those products. But they’re also paid by those companies. Companiesinvite stars, and even cartoon characters to stand up for the products.Forcing FOMOFOMO stands for Fear of Missing Out. If you think you won’t be able to get a product because it’s selling quickly, you’re more likely to rush to buy it. That’s why you see “limited edition (限量版)” products. Apple , for example, uses this rule when it gives out limited numbers of new photos to create shopping excitement.Creating CollectionsThink Shopkins . The company creates groups of products, like ice cream balls and teacups. Then it tries to advise you to buy them all to complete your collection. Many products have found success this way. Then they ended up in a box in your house. Ask yourself: Do I want this because I like it? Or am I just trying to collect more than my friends?Playing Mind GamesMarketers want you to think that buying their product will change you in some way. They want you to thing “buying this brand (品牌) is going to make you cool, happy, or popular,” says Professor Ahern. Marketers try to control your view of the brand by using a story, imagery, music, or people. Then, whe never you’re about to buy something, they hope that image will pop into your mind, making you choose their product over another.So now you know. This Black Friday, be sure to shop smart. 38. How many brands are mentioned in the passage? A. Three.B. Four.C. Five.D. Six.39.
