People who are happy tent to think that life is easy. They are in good physical health and able to buy the things that they need and want. Happiness is about satisfying our needs and desires. The pursuit(追求) of happiness is often associated with selfish behavior. Animals have needs and desires and they can feel happy too. What sets human beings apart form animals is not the pursuit of happiness, but the pursuit of meaning, which is unique to humans.We can often find meaning in helping others or marking a sacrifice( 牺牲) for a “greater good”. Meaning often comes at the expense of happiness. When people have invested themselves in something bigger than themselves, they worry more and have higher levels of stress and anxiety in their lives than happy people. Volunteering ( 做义工） in rural schools, for example, is meaningful but also involves hardship.Happiness, like any emotion, is felt in the here and now --it eventually fades away .However, meaning is enduring. It connects the past to the present to the future.46.What is the main idea if the passage ？A. A happy life is basically different form a meaningful life.B.

The passage is organized by.A. giving examplesB. making contrastsC. definingD. classifyingPassage 2Our traditional belief has it that morning larks are most likely to be healthy, wealthy and wise .But those who are to bed and early to rise do not always have the upper hand (占上风). Researchers have revealed that night owls(夜猫子) are generally brighter and wealthier than able to get up early in the morning.Experts examined the habits of 1,000 youngsters to determine whether they liked to stay up late and sleep in later in the morning, or preferred to go to bed early. School performance and inductive(归纳的) reasoning were measured and academic (学业的) ades in the major subjects were also taken into consideration.The results show that evening types score higher than morning types on inductive reason in which has been shown to be a good estimate of general intelligence and academic performance .The night owls also have a greater capacity to think conceptually (概念性地) and analyze. Such abilities have been linked to creative thinking, better jobs and higher incomes.Morning larks, however, often get better exam results in school, possibly because lessons are held at wrong time of day for night owls.51.

Perhaps you should try a Segway!The Segway is perfect for short journey. It´s an electric vehicle that consists of a platform between two wheels,with a pole that connects the platform to the handlebars. To ride it,you step up onto the platform,and control the Segway by moving your body. Lean forwards to go faster,and backwards to slow down.On older models, direction is controlled by a twist grip(扭转把手)on the left handlebar. This varies the speeds between the two motors, a decrease in the speed of the left wheel would turn the Segway to the left. With newer models you simply lean to the left or right. Meanwhile, a gyroscope(陀螺仪)detects your movements and prevents the machine from falling over. The Segway has a maximum speed of 19 km per hour and a range of about 38 km. After that,you need to plug it in and recharge the battery.Segways are used for a variety of purposes. People with mobility problems can now enjoy walks in the country with their friends and family. Some golfers use them as an alternative to the golf cart. And dog owners now have an easier way to take the dog to the park. A few police forcesuse Seg-ways,too. They allow officers to move quickly whilst maintaining contact with the public. They´ re also becoming a common sight on airport. However, the most popular use is in tourism, particularly for city tours. Visit any major tourist city in summer,sit outside a cafe for a while and there´ s a good chance you’ll see a group of tourists passing on Segways.第21题What is the Segway according to this passage?A.A pole that connects two handlebars.B.A newly appeared public traffic vehicle.C.A bicycle with a platform between two wheels.D.An electric two-wheeled vehicle for short trips.第22题How do you turn to the left on Segways of newer models?A.Lean to the left.B.Adjust the twist grip.C.Press the left bar.D.Control the gyroscope.第23题How far can you travel on a Segway at most?A.Less than 19 km.B.About 19 km.C.About 38 km.D.More than 38 km.第24题The last paragraph focuses on______.A.what a Segway is likeB.where to find a SegwayC.how to control a SegwayD.when a Segway is useful上一题下一题(25~28/共20题)Part ⅢReading ComprehensionDirections:There are some reading passages in this part.

Today was the day that they had enough money in hand to make a down payment on the house. But the real estate(房地产)agent informed them that she had received another offer for the house.

The owner,in urgent need of money,wanted to accept the second offer.Nancy and John looked at each other with disappointed looks. They walked back home feeling very low about having lost the house.

Nancy suddenly realized that not getting her dream house had been a blessing in disguise. She thanked God and decided to be happy with the blessings she had and started looking forward to the birth of her child.第25题Why did Nancy and her husband lose their dream house?A.They couldn´ t pay the whole amount for the house at once.B.Someone else offered more money for the house.C.They couldn´t afford the advance for the house.D.The house owner decided not to sell the house.第26题How did they feel after they lost their dream house?A.They felt sorry and hardly recovered.B.They felt relieved but with little regret.C.They enjoyed their daily lives all the same.D.They were depressed but tried to adjust themselves.第27题What did Nancy find about the house one day?A.It would be on sale again.B.It would be pulled down.C.It had been redecorated.D.It had been emptied.第28题What does the phrase "a blessing in disguise" in the last paragraph mean?A.A good luck.B.A dirty trick.C.A secret wish.D.A false alarm.上一题下一题(29~32/共20题)Part ⅢReading ComprehensionDirections:There are some reading passages in this part.

For the ladies,bathing suits are normal if there´ s a pool where you ´ re going, but leave the string bikini at home—it is a Muslim country,after all. Last,if you are planning on visiting any mosques or certain parts of upper Egypt,ladies will need to plan on bringing something that comes at least to the elbow,and no shorts for men or women in those areas. What special things do I need to pack?One of my favorite things in the world to bring to Egypt is an Evian Mister, a sprayer with a fine mist of Evian water. You may be able to find it in your local drug store. Spray a little on your face or head,and your body temperature will feel like it´s dropped 10 or 15 degrees. Other items include your camera,sun block and extra batteries.How do I communicate with home?Internet cafes are plentiful everywhere, especially in Cairo, Luxor, and Alexandria. If you have international calling on your phone, you should be able to use it—AT&T and Sprint both work internationally for sure,but make sure you have the international coverage. A satellite phone is best if you are certain to need coverage in the middle of the country, like while sailing up the Nile, but for most people these days a cell phone is fine. What medical preparation do I need?In a word: none! The one thing you may come down with in Egypt is politely called " Pharoah´s Revenge". The thing that knocks out Pharoah´ s Revenge is a regionally produced medicine,and is available at every drugstore for $1 a box. DON´T drink local water,DO drink bottled water,avoid the skins of fresh vegetables,and you’ll be fine.第29题What clothing is proper for ladies visiting a mosque?A.String bikinis.B.Long-sleeve clothes.C.Bathing suits.D.Shorts.第30题What´ s the use of an Evian Mister?A.To relieve your thirst.B.To prevent sunburns.C.To cool yourself down.D.To drive away insects.第31题What information is provided about distance communication?A.A cell phone is enough for most people.B.AT&T and Sprint offer free service in Egypt.C.A satellite phone doesn´ t work in Mid-Egypt.D.Internet cafes are only available in big cities.第32题What does "Pharoah´ s Revenge" probably refer to in the last paragraph?A.A curse.B.A legend.C.A disease.D.A vegetable.上一题下一题(33~36/共20题)Part ⅢReading ComprehensionDirections:There are some reading passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions. For each question there are four suggested answers marked [A]、[B]、[C] and [D]. Choose one best answer and blacken the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet.It was a beautiful day for sightseeing around downtown Portland. We were on our day off and out for some fun. The weather was perfect for a picnic,so when lunch time came,we set our sights on a small park in town. Since we all had different tastes,we decided to split up,get what each of us wanted, and meet back on the grass in a few minutes.When my friends Robby headed for a hot dog stand, I decided to keep her company. We watched the seller put together the perfect hot dog,just the way Robby wanted it. But when she took out her money to pay him,the man surprised us."It looks a bit smaller on the cool side, "he said, "so never mind paying me. This will be my freebie of the day. "We said our thanks,joined our friends in the park,and dug into our food. But as we talked and ate,I noticed a man sitting alone nearby,looking at us. I could tell that he hadn´ t showered for days. Another homeless person,I thought,like all the others you see in cities. I didn´ t pay much more attention than that.We finished eating and decided to head -off for more sightseeing. But when Robby and I went to the garbage can to throw away my lunch bag, I heard a strong voice, " There isn´ t any food in that bag,is there?"It was the man who had been watching us. I didn´ t know what to say. "No,I ate it already. " "Oh,"was his only answer, with no shame in his voice at all. He was obviously hungry, couldn´ t bear to see anything thrown away, and was used to asking this question.I felt bad for the man,but I didn´t know what I could do. That´ s when Robby said, "I’ll be right back. Please wait for me a minute," and ran off. I watched curiously as she went across to the hot dog stand. Then I realized what she was doing. She bought a hot dog,crossed back to the garbage can,and gave the hungry man the food.When she came back to us, Robby said simply," I was just passing on the kindness that someone gave to me. "第33题Why did the seller offer Robby a free hot dog?A.It was offered for a large order.B.The hot dog didn´t look big enough.C.It was a special favor to a lady customer.D.The seller gave away a free hot dog every day.第34题Which word best describes the homeless man?A.Angry.B.Untidy.C.Sensitive.D.Impolite.第35题Why did Robby go back to the hot dog seller?A.She wanted to thank the hot dog seller.B.The homeless man asked her for a hot dog.C.She wanted to buy a hot dog for the homeless man.D.The hot dog was so delicious that Robby wanted another.第36题What is the theme of this passage?A.The rich should help the poor.B.One good turn deserves another.C.Kindness is the greatest wisdom.D.A kindness shown,a kindness sown.上一题下一题(37~40/共20题)Part ⅢReading ComprehensionDirections:There are some reading passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions. For each question there are four suggested answers marked [A]、[B]、[C] and [D]. Choose one best answer and blacken the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet.Whatever you do,don´t challenge a chimpanzee named Ayumu to a number memory game.In 2007, Ayumu became famous for his lightning speed at a game that goes like this: A player views a computer screen where the numbers 1 through 9 appear briefly at once and then turn to white squares. The player then taps the squares where the numbers had been,in order from 1 to 9. People can do it. But no human competitor has ever completed the game faster or more accurately than Ayumu the chimp. For almost five years Ayumu remains undefeated.Psychologist Nicholas Humphrey of Darwin College at Cambridge University in England now thinks he knows the secret behind the chimp´ s ability. Humphrey suspects Ayumu´ s brain may have a condition that allows the chimp to see numbers as colors. This would mean that Ayumu may see a color glow after the number disappears. Then,instead of remembering the numbers,he remembers a sequence of colors, each associated with a number.The condition that Humphrey believes Ayumu may have is called synesthesia. Humans with synesthesia may associate numbers and letters with colors. For example,a person may see the number "5"as the color blue. Until now,scientists had assumed only humans could have synesthesia.Humphrey found the inspiration for his idea at a 2011 scientific conference. There, he heard a presentation about Ayumu´ s memory abilities and another talk about synesthesia. He then put the two ideas together.Not everyone is convinced that Humphrey is correct. Primatologist Tetsuro Matsuzawa of the Primate Research Institute at Kyoto University in Japan has spent decades studying the amazing memories of chimpanzees, including Ayumu. He maintains that chimps simply have faster memory recall than people.第37题What is Ayumu famous for?A.His gift in playing computers.B.His talent in calculating numbers.C.His skill in tapping the numbered squares.D.His amazing performance in a memory game.第38题Which of the following is true of Nicholas Humphrey?A.He thinks Ayumu has an amazing memory.B.He believes that Ayumu sees the colors of numbers.C.He was inspired by Primatologist Tetsuro Matsuzawa.D.He delivered a speech on synesthesia at the 2011 conference.第39题Where does Humphrey get the inspiration for his idea?A.From an experiment.B.From a conference.C.From a research on chimpanzees.D.From the color blue.第40题How does Tetsuro Matsuzawa explain Ayumu´ s performance in the game?A.Ayumu uses synesthesia.B.Ayumu is cleverer than most chimps.C.Chimps recall things faster than people.D.Chimps are good at dealing with number.上一题下一题(41~55/共15题)Part IV ClozeDirections:For each blank in the following passage, there are four choices marked [A]、[B]、[C] and [D].

Each passage is followed by some questions or incomplete statements. For each of themthere are 4 choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decideon thebest choice, and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Passage 1It is very important to develop a powerful strategy throughoutthe job hunting process that has three main components: a solidresume format based on your achievements, a dynamic resume coverletter that gets an employer’s attention, and a cons istent strategythat binds everything together.FIRS (First Impression Resume Services) offer personally designedresume and cover letter strategies and interview training by aCertified Professional Resume Writer and Certified EmploymentInterview Profess ional.

From the context, we can guess that the word “tip” (inparagraph 3) probably means________.A. extremityB. pointC. premiumD. advice65. The office guarantees that _____.A. they will give theirs on the basis of the Code of EthicsB. they will give perfectsC. they will offer professional help to all kinds of peopleD. all of the abovePassage 2When your parents tell you to “get an education” in order to raise your income, they tell you only half the truth. What they really mean is to get just enough education to provide manpower for your society, but not so much that you prove an embarrassment to your society.At least, you need to get a high school diploma, without it, you will be occupationally dead unless your name is George Bernard Shaw or Thomas Alva Edison, and you can successfully drop out in grade school.If possible, get a college degree. With a B.A, you are on the launching pad. But now you have to start to put on the brakes. If you study for a master’s degree, make sure it is an MBA, and is famous law of diminishing returns begins to happen. Do you know, for example, that long-haul truck drivers earn more per year than full professors? Yes, the average 1977 salary for those truckers was $24000. While the full professors can earn just $ 23030.A Ph.D. is the highest degree you can get. Except for a few specialized fields such as physics or chemistry where the degreecan quickly be turned to industrial or commercial purposes, if you pursue such a degree in any other field, you will face a dim future. There are more Ph.D.s unemployed or underemployed in this country than any other part of the world.If you become a doctor of philosophy in English or history or anthropology or political science or languages, or worst of all in philosophy, you have the risk of becoming overeducated for our national demands. Not for our needs, mind you, but for our demands. Thousands of Ph.D.s are driving cars, selling shoes, waiting on table, and filling out applications every month. They may also take a job in some high school or backwater college that pays much less than the doorkeeper earns.You can equate the level of income with the level of education only so far. Far enough, that is, to make you useful to the gross national product, but not so far that nobody can turn much of a profit on you.66. According to the writer, what the society expects of education is to turn out people who ____.A. will not be a disgrace to societyB. will become loyal citizensC. can take care of themselvesD. can meet the nation’s demands as a sour ce of manpower67. Many PhDs are out of job because _____.A. they are improperly educatedB. they are of little commercial value to their societyC. there are fewer jobs in high schoolsD. they prefer easier jobs that make more money68. The nation is only interested in people _____.A. with diplomasB. who specialize in physics and chemistryC. who are valuable to the gross national productD. both A and C.69. Which of the following is not true?A. Bernard Shaw didn’t finish high schools, nor did Edison.B. One must think carefully before pursuing a master degree.C. The higher your education level, the more money you will earn.D. If you are too well-educated, you’ll be over educated for society’s demands.70. The writer sees education as _____.A. a means of providing job security and financial security and a means of meeting a c ountry’s demands for technical workersB. a way to broaden one’s horizonsC. more important than finding a jobD. an opportunity that everyone should havePassage 3Not all Americans are fit, or even try to be fit. The overall population is becoming heavier, because of bad eating habits and a sedentary lifestyle. Some researches estimate that less than half of Americans exercise in their leisure time. Experts say that it is not be cause Americans “don’t know what’s good for them”? They just don’t do it. Compared to the beginning of the 1980s, 75% of Americans in the 1990s say that physical fitness is more important to them now than it was then. But the National Center for Health Statistics reports that the number of people who are at least 20% over their desirable weight has risen from one in four to one in three Americans.Full of information on nutrition and proper diet is on newspapers and magazines. Television news programs urgepeople to eat more vegetables and warn of the dangers of high-fat diets and high cholesterol levels, particularly heart disease and certain types of cancer. Since 1994 the government has required uniform labeling so that consumers can compare the fat and calories in the food they buy. More than half of Americans say that they pay attention to the nutritional content of the food they eat, but they also eat what they really want whenever they feel like it.Experts say that it is a combination of social, cultural, and psychological factors that determine the way people eat. An article on America’s weight problems refers to “the culture of over-indulgence seemingly ingrained in American life”. “The land of plenty seems destined to include plenty of pounds as wel l,” they conclude. Part of the problem is that Americans eat larger portions and often go back for second helpings, in contrast to the reasonable amount people in many other countries have.Another factor is A mericans’ love of fast food. Some estimates are that 50% of Americans eat pizza once every two week, a percentage that is no doubt quite a bit higher among high school and college students. Americans are having more and more hamburgers, French fries, and soft drinks at restaurants, not only because they like them, but because these foods are the cheapest items.Another important factor is Americans’ busy lifestyle. Since so many women are working, families are eating a lot of fast food, frozen dinners, and restaurant “takeout”. Some experts think that Americans have really lost control of their eating; it is not possible to limit fat and calories when they eat so much restaurant and packaged food. It takes some time to preparefresh vegetables and fish; stopping at KFC on the way home from work is a much faster choice. Often American families eat "on the run" instead of sitting down at the table together.71. More than half of Americans do not exercise in their leisure time because______.A. they want to live a comfortable lifeB. they don’t know what’s good for themC. they are busyD. they just don't do it72. The number of overweighed people is _______.A. one in fourB. one in threeC. 20 percent of the populationD. 50 percent73. What does the word “over-i ndulgence” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?A. Eating too much.B. Extreme work.C. Exercising too much.D. Sleeping too much.74. Americans like fast food because _______.A. it is cheapB. it is available everywhereC. Americans are quite busyD. all of the above75. We infer from the passage that _______.A. Americans usually sit down at the table and enjoy their foodB. Americans often eat at restaurantsC. Americans often eat in a hurryD. Americans often eat with their familiesPassage 4Beauty has always been regarded as something praiseworthy by people. Almost everybody thinks attractive people are healthier and happier, and have better marriage and have more respectable jobs. Consultants give them better advice for finding jobs. Even judges are kinder on attractive defendants. But in the executive circle, beauty can become a liability.While attractiveness is relatively positive for a man in his way up the executive ladder, it is harmful to a woman. Handsome male executives were regarded as having more integrity than plainer men; effort and ability were considered to account for their success. While attractive female executives were thought to have less integrity than unattractive ones; their success was attributed not to ability but to factors such as luck.All unattractive women executives were thought to have more integrity and capability than the attractive female executives. It is interesting that the rise of the unattractive overnight success was attributed more to personal relationships and less to ability than was that of attractive overnight success.Why are charming women not thought to be capable? An attractive woman is considered to be more feminine (and an attractive man more masculine.) Thus, an attractive woman has an advantage in traditional female jobs, but an attractive woman in a traditionally masculine position appears to lack the “masculine” qualities that are required.This is true even in politics. “If the only clue is how he or she looks, people treat men and women differentl y,” says Anne Bowman, who recently published a study on the effects of attractiveness on political candidates. She asked 125undergraduate students to rank two groups of photos, one of men and one of women, in order of attractiveness. The students were told the photos were of candidates for political offices. They were asked to rank them again, in the order that they would vote for them. The results showed that attractive males utterly defeated unattractive men, but the women who had been ranked most attractive invariably received the fewest votes.76.

The liberation of women in the early part of the twentieth century and the social and economic effects of World War II had a great impact on traditional family life.Women became essential to industry and the professions.During the war they had worked in factories and proved their worth, now,with the loss of millions of men,their services were indispensable to the nation.More recently,great advances in scientific knowledge,and particularly in medicine,have had enormous social consequences.Children and better cared for and are far healthier.Infant death rate is low.Above all，parents can now plan the size of their family if they wish through more effective means of birth control.Different attitudes to religion,authority and tradition generally have also greatly contributed to changes in family life.But these developments have affected all aspects of society.It is particularly interesting to note that the concept of"the family"as a social unit has survived all these challenges.Questions14to16are based on the passage you have just heard.14.What is this passage mainly about?15.Why did British women become indispensable to industry after World War II?16.What remained unchanged in spite of all the challenges in family life?Passage ThreeThe key question for any only child is this:why were you an only child?It!s a key question for at least two reasons.If your parents had wanted several children but could have you only，they are most likely to pour into you all the energy and attention that had been intended for several children.I call this the"special jewel’，phenomenon.Only children who are special jewels often arrive when their parents are older-usually in their thirties.These special jewels can become very spoiled and self-centered.On the other hand,you may be an only child because your parents planned for only one and stuck to their plan.Your parents may give you a very strict and well-structured education to makeyou "a little adult ”.Many only children grow up feeling unhappy because they always had to be such "little adults ”.Questions 17to 20are based on the passage you have just heard.17.Who are likely to treat their only children as "special jewels"?18.Why do some only children become "little adults11?19.What does the passage mainly discuss?20.Why do some only children feel unhappy?第二部分：词汇用法及语法结构29.【答案精解】A profitable.本题考查词性转换。
