15.There exist cruel wars,fighting and sadness  in the world today,so it's  not only necessary,but also essential to have a good sense of humor just to help us go through difficult times in our 1ives.Putting a smile on someone's face when you know they are feeling depressed,as the saying goes,makes me feel good and warms my heart.
How would you feel if you could not joke around with your wife,husband,child,co-worker,neighbor,close friend,or even just someone that you are standing in line with at your comer store?I am always saying things that make others smile or laugh,even if I don't know the person l'm joking around with My Grandma always found humor in everything she did,even if it was the hardest job anyone could imagine.This not only relieves stress in any situation,but also is a common manner to speak to others that are around you.
I know of a few people that don't have a funny bone in their bodies,as they say.Everyone around them could be rolling on the floor after hearing a great joke and they would sit there without the sligh test smile on their faces,They don't get the joke that makes others laugh.I am   busting a gutwhile they just sit there,looking at me as if I were from outer space.How can people not get a really funny joke?
Laughing is essential to keep your stress levels under control.Without humor,we would find ourselves with a lot of psychological problems,or on a lot of medications to keep us from going crazy.There is too  much sadness in this present world.it drives people crazy.We all need.to find a way to avoid the sadness and bring a little light into our lives.

分析 本文是一篇说明文.今天的世界存在着残酷的战争、战斗和悲伤,我们不仅仅需要、而且很必要有幽默感帮助我们克服困难时期.

解答 46 A  细节题.由第一段第一句"There exist cruel wars,fighting and sadness  in the world today,so it's not only necessary,but also essential to have a good sense of humor just to help us go through difficult times in our lives."可知,幽默感可以帮助人们度过难关,所以它应该在个人的精神上起作用,A项大意为它可以让人精神振奋,符合题意.故正确答案为A.
47:推断题.由第三段第二句"I am always saying things that make others smile or laugh,even if I don't know the person I'm joking around with"和第三句"My Grandma always found humor in everything she did,even if it was the hardest job anyone could imagine."可知作者提出问题后举了自己和祖母的例子说明幽默感的重要性,最后得出结论--"This not only relieves stress in any situation,but also is a common manner to speak to others that are around you.",所以C项符合题意.故正确答案为C.
48:由句意可知,没有幽默感的人坐在那里,以看一个外星人的目光看着作者,作者看见他们这样就会笑起来,这恰好证明了好笑的事情无处不在.所以该短语的含义与"大笑"相近,C项符合题意.作者到任何人都能有说有笑,幽默感非常强,A、B、D项不符合他的性格,所以排除A、B、D项.故正确答案为C.
49:主旨题.文章第一段写了笑容在生活中非常有用,不可或缺.第二段写了幽默感的重要性和价值.第三段写了幽默是无处不在的.最后一段通过写笑可以减压来鼓励人们多笑,培养幽默感.B项符合题意,故正确答案为B.
50:推断题.第三段中,作者认为世上无处没有幽默,表现出他对没有幽默感的人的批评,由此可见作者的态度是批评的.最后一段中,作者换了一个角度,客观地解释了人们需要幽默感的原因和幽默感的作用,所以作者的态度是批判性的,D项符合题意.故正确答案为D.

点评 阅读理解题测试考生在阅读基础上的逻辑推理能力,要求考生根据文章所述事件的逻辑关系,对未说明的趋势或结局作出合理的推断;或根据作者所阐述的观点理论,对文章未涉及的现象、事例给以解释.考生首先要仔细阅读短文,完整了解信息,准确把握作者观点.

6."I like your smile,but unlike you put your shoes on my face".A charming way of saying"Keep off the grass".But could you figure it out?Or this:"Wash Clothing Store"for laundry.
They are both typical Chinglish,a combination of English vocabulary and Chinese grammar.Expressions such as"people mountain people sea",means extremely crowded,and"give you some color to see",meaning a punishment,are widely known and recognized.
Chinglish has been attracting global attention in recent years as China grows rapidly in stature on the world stage,attracting both fans and detractors.
The Beijing Speaks Foreign Languages Programme and English First China Company,a language trainer known as EF Education,jointly launched a campaign to root out poor grammar and misused vocabulary in downtown Beijing.They argue Chinglish is an embarrassment that we should let it die out at all costs.
"It is meaningful,to allow the capital show its most beautiful historical and cultural heritage to the world."Michael Lu,vice-president of EF Education said,"since the launching of the campaign,foreign teachers and students had been very keen to volunteer participation."He believed signs were very important in public services."The signs in some old buildings confused foreign visitors.
Chinglish,although the target of much criticism,has also won supporters who regard it as an interesting way for foreigners to learn how Chinese people think and express themselves.
"Many Chinglish logos carry Chinese elements and they will enrich the English language,"32-year-old Oliver Radtke said.He had even published a book"Chinglish:Found in Translation,"on the subject.About 50,000copies of the book have been sold since it was published in 2007.
Some Chinese university experts also side with Chinglish."English has absorbed elements from other languages such as French and Spanish in its growth,and the emergence of Chinglish again testifies to the language's vitality and inclusiveness,"said Shi Anbin,an associate professor of Tsinghua University.

40.How did Chinglish come into being?B
A.Chinese people misunderstood the meaning of the new words.
B.Chinese people combined English vocabulary with Chinese grammar.
C.Chinese people based their English on the native English speakers.
D.Chinese people make wide use of English vocabulary with bad spelling.
41.What Shi Anbin said meansC.
A.there are many French and Spanish words in English
B.English is the language with vitality and inclusiveness
C.Chinglish enriches English and shouldn't be got rid of
D.Chinglish has greater effect on English than French and Spanish
42.According to Oliver Radtke,ChinglishA.
A.shows how Chinese people think          B.does damage to the English language
C.shows the great humor of Chinese people   D.should be sold to all over the world.

3.A four-wheeled robot,known as Rover,has been tested by a team at Sydney University.It was used to move a herd of cows from a field to a dairy(牛奶场).
Researchers were amazed at how easily cows accepted the presence of the robot.They were not disturbed by it and the gathering process was calm and effective.Because the robot moved in a steady manner it allowed cows to move at their own speed,which was important in reducing injuries among cattle,said Dr Kendra Kerrisk,dairy researcher and associate professor.
The robot was adapted from one that was already being used to monitor fruit and trees on farms.A team at Sydney University's Centre for Field Robotics improved the robot so that it could be put in a field with cows in order for the researchers to gather data on robot-cow interaction.
The robot needs to be operated by a human but it's hoped that in the future a version can be developed that will be fully automated.As well as gathering cows a new version could also collect information useful for farmers.
Using robots to get cows to the dairy will be better for their well-being."The research is in its very early stages but robotic technologies certainly have the potential to transform dairy farming,"said Dr.Kerrisk."When we have discussed this concept with farmers they have been extremely excited and we have had a series of calls and emails asking how they can get hold of one,"she added.
The robot could also cut down the number of accidents involving humans on farms.Most dairy farmers in Australia use bikes to round up their cattle and they are one of the leading causes of injury.The team hopes that by using the robot to do the job instead,accident rates could fall.
61.The robot Rover was mainly used toC.
A.milk the cows on the field   
B.feed the cows with food
C.round up cows on dairy farms
D.take farmers around the farm
62.Why did the cows,accept the robot easily?A
A.Because it moved at a steady pace.
B.Because it didn't hurt the cattle.
C.Because it was calm and kind.
D.Because it allowed cows to walk at a fast speed.
63.At present,the robot RoverC.
A.can go around the farm automatically
B.can help researchers to gather data
C.has to be operated by a human  
D.has been available in the market
64.What can we learn from Dr.Kerrisk's words in the fifth paragraph?B
A.The research will soon be finished.
B.The robot will be popular among farmers.
C.Robotic technology has highly developed.
D.Dairy farming has much potential.
65.What's the main idea of the text?D
A.A team at Sydney University developed a robot.
B.Using robots on farms can reduce injuries.
C.Dairy farming in Australia needs transforming.
D.Robot used to round up cows is a hit with farmers.

20.Americans wear black for mourning while Chinese wear white.Westerners think of dragons as monsters.Chinese honor them as symbols of God.Chinese civilization has often shown such polarities(对立)with the West,as though each stands at extreme ends of a global string.Now in the University if California,Berkeley,a psychologist,has discovered deeper polarities between Chinese and American cultures-polarities that go to the heart of how we reason and discover truth.
His findings go gar toward explaining why American cultures seem to be aggressive and Chinese cultures so passive,when compared to each other.More importantly,the research opens the way for the peoples of the East and the West to learn from each other in basic ways.The Chinese could learn much from Western methods for determining scientific truth,said Kaiping Peng,a former Beijing Scholar,who is now a UC Berkley assistant professor of psychology.And Americans could profit enormously from he Chinese tolerance for accepting contradictions in social and personal life,he said.
"Americans have a terrible need to find out who is right in an argument,"said Peng."The problem is that at the interpersonal level you really don't need to find the truth,or maybe there isn't any."Chinese people,said Peng,are far more content to think that both sides have advantages and disadvantages,because they have a whole awareness that life is full of contradictions.They do far less blaming of the individual than do Americans,he added.
In studies of interpersonal argument,for example,when subjects were asked to deal with contradictory information resulting from conflict between a mother and a daughter or a student and a school,Peng found that Americans were"non-compromising,blaming one side-usually the mother-for the causes of the problems,demanding changes from one side to attain a solution and offering no compromise"in dealing with the conflict.Compared to this angry,blaming American method,the Chinese were paragons(模范)of compromise,finding fault on both sides and looking for solutions that moved both sides to the middle.

67.In Paragraph 1,the author sets examples in order toB.
A.expose the contradiction between Chinese and Americans
B.show the differences between Chinese culture and American culture
C.find the reason for the differences
D.generalize the main idea of the passage
68.Compared with Americans,Chinese areD.
A.likely to find the truth in life
B.unwilling to admit their own failure
C.unwilling to have a general idea of things
D.likely to know advantages and disadvantages of things
69.The studies showC.
A.an American treats his or her mother badly
B.different ideas of treating the aged
C.different personality of Chinese and Americans
D.different conflicts of Americans and Chinese
70.The main idea of the passage isA.
A.polarities between American and Chinese cultures
B.extreme ends of the string
C.different attitudes towards the aged
D.different manners in social occasions.

4.A new generation addiction is quickly spreading all over the world.Weboholism,a twentieth century disease,affects people from different ages.They surf the net,use e-mail and speak in chat rooms.They spend many hours on the computer,and it becomes a compulsive habit.They cannot stop,and it affects their lives.
Ten years ago,no one thought that using computers could become compulsive behavior that could affect the social and physical life of computer users.This obsessional behavior has affected teenagers and college students.They are likely to log on computers and spend long hours at different websites.
They become hooked on computers and gradually their social and school life is affected by this situation.They spend all free time surfing and don't concentrate on homework,so this addiction influences their grades and success at school.Because they can find everything on the websites,they hang out there.Moreover,this addiction to websites influences their social life.

A.cause   B.advantage   C.popularity  D.influence
