3.Long ago in a small town,there was a place known as the House of 1,000Mirrors.A happy little dog learned of this place and decided to visit.
When he arrived,he bounced happily up the stairs to the doorway of the house.He looked through the doorway with his ears lifted high and his tail wagging as fast as it could.To his great surprise,he found himself staring at 1,000other happy little dogs with their tails wagging just as his.He smiled a great smile,and was answered with 1,000great smiles just as warm and friendly.As he left the house,he thought to himself,"This is a wonderful place.I will come back and visit often."
In this same town,another little dog,who was not quite as happy as the first one,decided to visit the house.He slowly climbed the stairs and hung his head low as he looked into the door.When he saw the 1,000unfriendly looking dogs staring back at him,he growled at them and was horrified to see 1,000little dogs growling back at him.As he left,he thought to himself,"This is a horrible place,and I will never go back there again."
All the faces in the world are mirrors.What kind of reflections do you see on the faces of the people you meet?

29.Why was the first dog surprised when he entered the house?A
A.Because he didn't expect to see so many happy dogs.
B.Because he didn't know there were 1,000mirrors in the house.
C.Because he was always in a mixed mood.
D.Because he saw so many dogs smiling at him.
30.Why did the first dog like the house?D
A.Because there were 1,000mirrors in the house.
B.Because he thought he could keep himself warm in the house.
C.Because he liked the mirrors.
D.Because he felt he was welcome here.
31.The underlined word"growled"probably means.A
A.made an unfriendly noise   B.smiled
C.said hello                 D.stared

A.A Happy Little Dog
B.The House of 1,000Mirrors
C.The Wonderful Place and the Horrible Place
D.Two Little Dogs.

分析 本文通过描述二只不同的小狗对同一个地方的拜访,告知人们生活就是一面镜子,你对它笑它也对你笑,因此我们要积极乐观的面对生活.

解答 29:A 细节题.根据第二段第三行To his great surprise,he found himself staring at 1,000 other happy little dogs with their tails wagging just as his.让它感到惊讶的是,它发现另外的1000只开心的小狗像它一样快乐的摇动着尾巴,故选A.
30:D 推理题.根据文章第二He smiled a great smile,and was answered with 1,000great smiles just as warm and friendly.As he left the house,he thought to himself,"This is a wonderful place.I will come back and visit often."可知,小狗对着镜子笑,镜子也对小狗笑,这让小狗很开心,感觉自己受欢迎.
31:A 猜测词义题.he saw the 1,000 unfriendly looking dogs staring back at him.小狗看见这么多的狗都不友好,正常的反应应该是A.
32:B 主旨大意题.由主题段第一段和最后一段可知B.B是一个引言,引出下面的故事.四个选项里B是最合适的.

13.Gallows humor(黑色幽默) may seem like a mistake,or at least in poor taste.But psychologists say that gallows humor can be an important way to relieve stress."Humor makes you feel in control and it can give you that feeling that everything is okay even when it's not,"says James M.Jones,a psychology professor at the University of Delaware.
Psychologists say that just because you're laughing doesn't mean you're wasting time.Occasional tease among colleagues,particularly if it is associated with the job,can inspire creativity,departmental cohesiveness(凝聚力) and performance.
"There are a lot of stresses out there,"says Ed Dunkelblau,a psychologist in Chicago."Gallows humor is a way of making difficult things a little less difficult."
This is as long as the humor is used for the right purpose.The main point of it should be inspiring people-not laughing at them."Anything that would lift morale(士气) in terms of the company would be good humor,"says Thierry Guedj,a professor.
You want to give your employees and co-workers a sense of belonging,so don't make observations that are aggressive.Most obviously,Dr.Guedj says,don't make comments about people's physical appearance or faith.If you have any doubt about its appropriateness,don't go through with it.
Or you can take aim at the person that you know won't be offended(冒犯):yourself."If there's going to be a joke or story,it should be you,"Mr Dunkelblau says.
"People with the ability to laugh at themselves can give other people permission to laugh at themselves,too,"Mr Jones says."And if you can laugh at yourself,you feel better about yourself."

60.According to the passage,gallows humor has the following functions EXCEPTA.
A.leading to a big mistake               B.reducing pressure
C.making people more creative            D.improving performance
61.What is Ed Dunkelblau's attitude towards gallows humor?B
A.Negative.          B.Positive.
C.Neutral.           D.Uncertain.
62.When people use gallows humor,they shouldD.
A.observe who is aggressive
B.show a sense of belonging
C.doubt about the result of humor
D.try to avoid involving private things
63.What can we infer from the passage?B
A.People tend to laugh at others rather than themselves.
B.Laughing at yourself can make others free from stress.
C.People can't avoid offending others with gallows humor.
D.People who laugh at themselves are easy to gain others'permission.

14.A disastrous competition is going on in England,with billions of dollars and hundreds of lives in danger.OK,that's not true.But competitors from around the world gathered on Thursday to compete for the title of 2012's World's Biggest Liar.
Each participant is given up to five minutes to make up the best lie in the competition,which was started in honor of 19th-century Bridge Inn owner Will Ritson,who was reportedly famous for his lies.Competitors gather at the Bridge Inn every year for the competition,a small pub in northwestern England.Anyone can take part in the competition.Well,almost anyway; the reporters note that lawyers and politicians are banned,who is said to enjoy"an unfair advantage"in the proceedings (进程).
A study published this past July in the journal Evolution & Human Behavior found that nearly all lies are detectable through visible facial muscle (肌肉) reactions in the person telling a lie."Thus,while interpersonal deception (欺骗) often is highly successful,signs of hidden emotional states are communicated clearly to the informed observer,"the study concluded.
A churchman of Carlisle reportedly holds what may be the greatest lie of all time in the competition,simply stating,"I have never told a lie in my life."
In 2003,Abrie Krueger of South Africa became the first non-Brit to win the competition.Ironically,Krueger was accused by some of cheating.
In 2006,comedian Sue Perkins became the first female to win the competition,telling a tale about people riding camels to work as a result of climate change.
Last year's winning entry came from Glen Boyland,who told a lie about competing in a snail-racing (蜗牛赛跑) competition with Prince Charles.
56.The article begins withB.
A.a piece of news                       
B.a lie told by the writer

D.a case from the competition
57.The competition is held at the Bridge Inn becauseC.
A.its present owner is hospitable           
B.most local people are liars

A.the previous sentence was not exact       
B.the previous sentence was all wrong
C.the next sentence would be exact          
D.the reporters didn't agree with him or her

13.The financial crisis is reminding Americans of a lesson they first learned in childhood:Share and share alike.They are sharing or swapping tools and books,cars and handbags,time and talent.
The renewed desire to share shows up in a variety of examples:A car-sharing service has had a 70percent membership increase since the crisis occurred.Some companies encouraged his employees to take vanpooling.Governments are putting bikes on the street for public use.How-to-swap Web sites are increasing quickly.
The economy reflects the way Americans have cut back,especially on daily items:Department store sales dropped 1.3percent in June.People are not buying cars,and as a result,auto sales dropped 27.7percent last month.They are not paying others to do what they can do themselves-Home Depot reports increased attendance at in-store do-it-yourself clinics.And although paint sales are down in general,according to Sherwin-Williams,individual consumers are still buying.
When Tom Burdett needed to cut some tiles at his home outside Annapolis,he refused to buy expensive tools.So he asked his neighbors and friends for help.Sure enough,someone had just what he needed.And when that friend needed help fixing a satellite dish,Burdett volunteered to help.
The sharing mind-set is not new to the American culture,but many Americans give it up when the nation changed from an agricultural society to an industrial one,said Rosemary Hornak,a psychology professor at Meredith College in Raleigh,N.C.They moved farther from their families and did not have time to connect with new neighbors because they worked so much,she said.
Neighborhood conversations tell more of the story as the movement grows organically (持续地) in communities across the Washington region and the nation.On one street in Arlington,for example,neighbors are collecting their separate money for mulch (覆盖料) and dividing it among themselves.

32.What is the text mainly about?B
A.Introducing a new way of life.B.Sharing in the financial crisis.
C.How to reduce the living expense.D.How to handle the financial crisis.
33.Why do people in modern times give up the sharing mind-set?C
A.Because they don't need it at all.B.Because they aren't interested in it.
C.Because they are busy with work.D.Because they hate being disturbed.
34.The underlined phrase"cut back"in Para.3probably meansD.
A.shared     B.helped          C.abandoned      D.reduced
35.It can be inferred from the passage thatA.
A.more and more Americans solve problems in their daily life by helping each other.B.if the prices of service goes down,individual consumers won't do something themselves.
C.the sharing-mind set is a strange to many Americans.
D.when the crisis ends,Americans will abandon the sharing-mind set.
