    12．There are two types of people in the world．Although they have equal degree of health and wealth and other comforts of life，one becomes happy and the other becomes unhappy．This arises from the different ways in which they consider things，persons，events and the resulting effects upon their minds．
    People who are to be happy fix their attention on the convenience of things：the pleasant parts of conversation，the well prepared dishes，the goodness of the wine and the fine weather．They enjoy all the cheerful things．Those who are to be unhappy think and speak only of the opposite things．Therefore，they are continually dissatisfied．By their remarks，they sour the pleasure of society，offend （hurt） many people，and make themselves disagreeable everywhere．If this turn of mind was founded in nature，such unhappy persons would be the more to be pitied．The intention of criticizing（批评） and being disliked is perhaps taken up by imitation（模仿）．It grows into a habit，unknown to its possessors．The habit may be strong，but it may be cured when those who have it realize its bad effects on their interests and tastes．I hope this little warning may be of service to them，and help them change this habit．
    Although in fact it is chiefly an act of the imagination，it has serious results in life since it brings on deep sorrow and bad luck．Those people offend many others； nobody loves them，and no one treats them with more than the most common politeness and respect．This frequently puts them in bad temper and draws them into arguments．If they aim at getting some advantages in social position or fortune，nobody wishes them success．Nor will anyone start a step or speak a word to favor their hopes．If they bring on themselves public objections，no one will defend or excuse them，and many will join to criticize their wrongdoings．These should change this bad habit and be pleased with what is pleasing，without worrying needlessly about themselves and others．If they do not，it will be good for others to avoid any contact（接触） with them．Otherwise，it can be disagreeable and sometimes very inconvenient，especially when one becomes mixed up in their quarrels．
    71．People who are unhappyD．
    A．always consider things differently from others
    B．usually are affected by the results of certain things
    C．usually misunderstand what others think or say
    D．always discover the unpleasant side of certain things
    72．The underlined phrase"sour the pleasure of society"in Paragraph 2 most nearly means"B"．
    A．have a good taste with social life       
    B．make others unhappy
    C．tend to scold others openly              
    D．enjoy the pleasure of life
    73．We can conclude from the passage thatC．
    A．we should pity all such unhappy people
    B．such unhappy people are dangerous to social life
    C．people can get rid of the habit of unhappiness
    D．unhappy people can not understand happy persons
    74．If such unhappy persons insist on keeping the habit，the author suggests that people shouldA．
    A．prevent any communication with them    
    B．show no respect and politeness to them
    C．persuade them to recognize the bad effects
    D．quarrel with them until they realize the mistakes
    75．In this passage，the writer mainlyC．
    A．describes two types of people               
    B．laughs at the unhappy people
    C．suggests the unhappy people should get rid of the habits of unhappiness
    D．tells people how to be happy in life．

    分析 文章对比了快乐的不快乐的人进行对比，他们的相同处和不同处，作者还给了不快乐的人提出了建议：如何保持快乐的心情．

    解答 DBCAC
    71  D  推理判断题．根据第二段提到Those who are to be unhappy think and speak only of the opposite things 可以看出另一些人为什么感到不幸福的原因，故选D项．
    72   B  推理判断题．根据第二段提到By their remarks，they sour the pleasure of society，offend （hurt） many people，and make themselves disagreeable everywhere．根据他们的评论，他们厌烦社会的快乐，伤害别人，让自己处处感到不满意，故选B项．
    73  C   细节理解题．根据第二段提到he habit may be strong，but it may be cured可以判断出人们可以改变不幸福的脾性，故选C项．
    74   A   主旨大意．本文主要讲的是那些感觉不幸福的人处处冒犯别人，若长期以往，则只能处于被孤立的境地，所以他们应改变自己的习惯，故选A项．
    75    C   主旨大意题．本文主要讲的是那些感觉不幸福的人处处冒犯别人，若长此以往，则只能处于被孤立的境地，所以他们应改变自己的习惯．

    点评 考察学生的细节理解和推理判断能力，做细节理解题时一定要找到文章中的原句，和题干进行比较，再做出正确的选择．在做推理判断题不要以个人的主观想象代替文章的事实，要根据文章事实进行合乎逻辑的推理判断．

    2．People in the United States honor their parents with two special days：Mother's Day，on the second Sunday in May，and Father's Day，on the third Sunday in June．
    Mother's Day was proclaimed a day for national observance by President Woodrow Wilson in 1915．Ann Jarvis from Grafton，West Virginia，had started the idea to have a day to honor mothers．She was the one who chose the second Sunday in May and also began the custom of wearing a carnation．
    In 1909，Mrs．Dodd from Spokane，Washington，thought of the idea of a day to honor fathers．She wanted to honor her own father，William Smart．After her mother died，he had the responsibility of raising a family of five sons and a daughter．In 1910，the first Father's Day was observed in Spokane．Senator Margaret Chase Smith helped to established Father's Day as a national commemorative day，in 1972．
    These days are set aside to show love and respect for parents．They raise their children and educate them to be responsible citizens．They give love and care．
    These two special days are celebrated in many different ways．On Mother's Day people wear carnations．A red one symbolizes a living mother．A white one shows that the mother is dead．Many people attend religious services to honor parents．It is also a day when people whose parents are dead visit the cemetery．On these days families get together at home，as well as in restaurants．They often have outdoor barbecues for Father's Day．These are days of fun and good feelings and memories．
    59．What's the right time order of the following events？B
    a．The first Father's Day was observed．
    b．Mother's Day was proclaimed a day for national observance．

    d．The idea of honoring fathers was bought up．
    A．a b c d
    B．d a b c
    C．b a c d
    D．d a c b
    60．Who plays the most important role in Father's Day becoming a national commemorative day？B
    A．Mrs．Dodd
    B．Margaret Chase Smith．
    C．Ann Jarvis
    D．Woodrow Wilson．
    61．From the passage，we know in the U．SD．
    A．on Mother's Day，families often go out to have barbecues
    B．people should wear a red carnation if their mothers pass away
    C．on Father's Day，people stay at home to celebrate the special day
    D．the purpose to have these two special days is to show love to parents
    62．The author's purpose of writing this passage is toA．
    A．introduce Mother's Day and Father's Day
    B．show how important fathers and mothers are

    3．As the summer time approaches，more and more commercials and advertisements can be seen on the mass media encouraging students to join English study tours abroad．The purpose of these tours is to provide students with an opportunity to learn English in a native speaking environment and use English in real situations．Parents always believe that their children will automatically speak good English after attending these study tours．However，for me，as an English major and former participant of many English study tours，I find these summer tours ineffective．
    Parents who send their children abroad for a summer to study English usually believe that the native speaking environment，including the courses，teachers，and host families，can help their children to learn English better．This might be true if the students really study hard and they really get an all-English environment．But the fact is that，most of the time，the tour part is more important than the study part．Although these tours take place in foreign countries，students are rarely exposed in an all-English environment．You will find that，in the morning classes，Taiwanese students would like to stick together and speak Chinese with each other，even though there are some students from other countries．In the afternoon，the students go on a sightseeing excursion with their companions from Taiwan； they speak Chinese of course．In the evening，when students return to the host families，they would stay in their room and share the day with their roommate，another Taiwanese student．People who speak the same language with you is like a log（原木）in the ocean when living in a foreign country where you can not express yourself well，so that you would naturally stick with them．This is especially true with children．
    Another unrealistic expectation parents have for these tours is that the experience of living abroad can make their children more independent and mature．However，maturity does not come overnight．It takes time and practice．The most important of all is that they need a good mentor（顾问）．None of these exist in the study tours．

    30．Which of the following is the most important thing for children who study in an English environment according to the writer？B
    A．Host families．    B．Hard work．    
    C．Courses．          D．Teachers．
    31．The underlined word"mature"in the last paragraph probably meansD．
    A．active         B．free        
    C．outgoing       D．grown-up
    32．What's the author's attitude towards the English study tours abroad？B
    A．Doubtful．     B．Negative．   
    C．Positive．     D．Neutral．

    Children don't write letters now．They send e-mails or text messages．A lot of those old ways are going away．How many bills do you pay by writing a check anymore？-Brown

    17．Expressions about water are almost as common as water itself．But many of the expressions using water have unpleasant meanings．
    The expression"to be in hot water"is one of them．It is a very old expression．"Hot water"was used 500years ago to mean being in trouble．One story says it got that meaning from the custom of throwing extremely hot water down on enemies attacking a castle．
    That no longer happens．But we still get in"hot water"．When we are in"hot water"，we are in trouble．It can be any kind of trouble-serious or not so serious．A person who breaks a law can be in hot water with the police．A young boy can be in hot water with his mother．if he walks in the house with dirty shoes．
    Being in"deep water"is almost the same as being in hot water．When you are in deep water，you are in a difficult position．Imagine a person who cannot swim being thrown in water over his head．
    You are in deep water when you are facing a problem that you do not have the ability to solve．The problem is too deep．You can be in deep water，for example，if you invest in stocks without knowing anything about the stock market．
    "To keep your head above water"is a colorful expression that means staying out of debt．A company seeks to keep its head above water during economic hard times．A man who loses his job tries to keep his head above water until he finds a new job．
    "Water over the dam"is another expression about a past event．It is something that is finished．It cannot be changed．The expression comes from the idea that water that has flowed over a dam cannot be brought back again．

    60．Which of the following two expressions have almost the same meaning？A
    A．To be in hot water；To be in deep water．

    B．"Water over the dam"is an expression about a future event．
    C．Water could be used in the war in the past．
    D．All of the expressions using water have unpleasant meanings．

    A．the use of water

    4．Have you ever been afraid？Do thunder and lightning make your heart beat faster？Maybe your mouth goes dry when your teacher says you will be given a test，or your palms（手掌） sweat when it's your turn to give your report in front of the class．Perhaps you   get butterflies in your stomach when you see the bully （欺负人的人） who chooses you．
    We all have fears sometimes．That's true no matter how big we are or how brave we can be．Fear of getting too close to a campfire may save you from a bad burn．And fear of getting a bad grade on a test may make you study hard．Being nervous can also sharpen your senses and help you perform better during a track meet．Some people even enjoy being a little scared （恐惧的）．That's why they like to watch scary movies．
    Usually，our bodies go into fight only when there is something to fear．However，sometimes this happens when there doesn't seem to be anything to be frightened about．When you feel scared but there doesn't seem to be a clear reason，that's called anxiety （焦虑）．For some kids，the feeling of anxiety or worry can happen at any time．For others，it might appear only at certain times，like when they are leaving their home or family to go somewhere．For some people，this feeling of anxiety happens almost all the time and gets in the way of what they want to do．
    Tell your parents if your anxiety becomes strong and is getting in the way of what you want to do．Your parents can take you to a doctor，who can help to find out if a medical problem is making you feel anxious．But you can also try these ways to kill the feeling yourself．

    C．Fear is a sign of being sick and unhealthy．
    D．Fear can be good to people sometimes．
    62．According to the passage，we can learn that anxietyD．
    A．often appears before an important exam

    1．If you，a man，are looking through this，congratulations：you are a survivor （幸存者）．According to a survey，you are more than twice likely to die of skin cancer than a woman，and nine times more likely to die of AIDS．If you make it to the end of your natural term，about 78 years for men in Australia，you will die on average five years before a woman．
    　  There are many reasons for this．Men take more risks than woman and are more likely to drink and smoke-but perhaps more importantly，men don't go to the doctor．
    "Men aren't seeing doctors as often as they should．"says Dr．Gullotta，"This is particularly so for the over 40s，when diseases tend to strike．"Gullotta says a healthy man should visit the doctor every year or two．For those over 45，it should be at least once a year．Two months ago Gullotta saw a 50-year-old man who had delayed（延迟） doing anything about his smoker's cough for a year．"When I finally saw him it had already spread and he has since died from lung cancer．"he says．"Earlier finding and treatment may not have cured him，but it would have made him live longer．"
    　  According to a recent survey，95% of women aged between 15 and early 40s see a doctor once a year，compared to 70% of men in the same age group．
    "A lot of men think they are strong enough．While some men are scared of what might be there and would rather not know．Most men get their cars serviced more regularly than they service their bodies．"Dr．Gullotta says．He believes most diseases that commonly affect men could be found out by check-ups．Regular check-ups for men would place strain on the public purse，Gullotta says．"But prevention is cheaper in the long run than having to cure the diseases．Besides，the final/highest cost is far greater：it is called premature death（过早死亡）．"
    49．From the first paragraph，we can know thatB．

    2．We had been living our valley for sixteen months when we first realized the dangers that could exist．It was the year when the storms came early，before the calendar even hinted at winter，even before November was out．（71）GSoon snow began to fall．Within a day it lay some 15 centimeters deep．It almost completely blocked our lane and made the streamside path slippery and dangerous．But on the neighboring heights the snow was much deeper and stayed for longer．Up there the wind blasted fiercely．Deeply in our valley we felt only sudden gusts of wind：trees swayed but the branches held firm．
    And yet we knew that there was reason for us to worry．The snow and wind were certainly inconvenient but they did not really trouble us greatly（72）B．It reminded us of what could have occurred if circumstances had been different，if the flow of water from the hills had not，many years before，been controlled，held back by a series of dams．（73）C
    Day after day，we watched furious clouds pile up high over the hills to the west．Sinister grey clouds extended over the valleys．They twisted and turned，rising eastwards and upwards，warning of what was to come．We had seen enough of the sky； now we began to watch the river，which every day was becoming fuller and wilder．
    The river seemed maddened as the waters poured almost horizontally down to its lower stretches．（74）DIt was far deeper than we'd ever seen it so near our home，lunging furiously at its banks．For three days we prayed that it would stay below its wall（75）E．

    A．It was the river，the Ryburn，which normally flowed so gently，that threatened us most．
    B．The great power of all this water prevents us from believing ourselves to be completely safe in our home．
    C．In a short time the snow started to melt．
    D．Just a couple of meters from our cottage，the stream seemed wild beneath the bridge．
    E．Our prayer were answered as the dam held and the waters began to subside．
    F．They grew so strong that we couldn't control it．
    G．Until then，we had felt safe and sheltered in our valley．
