Do you want to live with a strong sense of peacefulness, happiness, goodness, and self- respect? The collection of happiness actions broadly categorized as "honor" help you create this life of good feelings.
Here's an example to show how honorable actions create happiness.
Say a store clerk fails to charge us for an item. If we keep silent, and profit from the clerk's mistake, we would drive home with a sense of sneaky excitement. Later we might tell our family or friends about our good fortune. On the other hand, if we tell the clerk about the uncharged item, the clerk would be grateful and thank us for our honesty. We would leave the store with a quiet sense of honor that we might never share with another soul.
Then, what is it to do with our sense of happiness?
In the first case, where we don't tell the clerk, a couple of things would happen. Deep down inside we would know ourselves as a type of thief. In the process, we would lose some peace of mind and self-respect. We would also demonstrate that we cannot lie trusted, since we advertise our dishonor by telling our family and friends. We damage our own reputations by telling others. In contrast, bringing the error to the clerk's attention causes different things to happen. Immediately the clerk knows us to be honorable. Upon leaving the store, we feel honorable and our self-respect is increased. Whenever we take honorable action we gain the deep internal rewards of goodness and a sense of nobility.
There is a beautiful positive cycle that is created by living a life of honorable actions. Honorable thoughts lead to honorable actions. Honorable actions lead us to a happier existence. And it's easy to think and act honorably again when we're happy. While the positive cycle can be difficult to start, once it's started, it's easy to continue. Keeping on doing good deeds brings us peace of mind, which is important for our happiness.
45. According to the passage, the positive action in the example contributes to our ______.
A. self-respect B. financial rewards
C. advertising ability D. friendly relationship
46. The author thinks that keeping silent about the uncharged item is equal to ______.
A. lying B. stealing C. cheating D. advertising
47. How will we feel if we let the clerk know her mistake?
A. We'll be very excited. B. We'll feel unfortunate.
C. We'll have a sense of honor. D. We'll feel sorry for the clerk.
48. Which of the following can be the best title of this passage.
A. How to Live Truthfully B. Importance of Peacefulness
Everyone’s at it, even my neighbors. I thought I might be the only person left in the world who hadn’t done an eBay deal. So, I decided to try my hand at online auction（网上拍卖）.
Buying for Beginners
Sign up on www. eBay. co.
If the item is being auctioned, you offer the highest price you are prepared to pay and eBay bids (出价) for you. The bid will be increased little by little until it goes beyond your highest bid, then you are emailed and asked if you would like to bid again. Auctions last up to 10 days and when they finish, you get an email telling you whether you have won the item.
How to Pay
Sellers decide how they would like to be paid and you need to check
this before placing a bid as you might not want to post a check or postal
orders. The easiest way is through PayPal, an online payment system that takes
the money away from your credit card .
Selling Made Simple
If you plan to sell on eBay, it helps to include a picture of the item. I followed my friends’ advice and put up the items I wanted to sell for a 10-day auction, starting on a Thursday. This way buyers had two weekends to bid.
The big Things in Life
It’s easy to post a small item, but furniture is a big part of eBay and this has to be collectively sent by deliverymen. Check the ways of delivery before you bid.
49. What is the subject mainly about in this passage?
A. How to make payment online.
C. How to use an online-auction system. D. Advantages of an online auction system.
50. After bidding for an item, a buyer ______.
A. has chances to make higher bids B. will get what he wants in ten days
C. should make payment immediately D. may check its picture and description
51. The easiest way of making payment mentioned in the passage is ______.
A. through a local banking system B. by sending the money to the seller
C. through an online payment system D. by paying the deliveryman directly
52. If you buy a writing desk on www.eBay.co.uk, the most important thing you should do is __________.
A mysterious “black cloud” approaches(靠近) the earth ? our planet’s weather
is severely affected.
Throughout the rest of June
and July temperatures rose gradually all over the Earth. In the
The death number in the
Conditions were completely
desperate throughout the tropics (热带地区) as may be judged from the fact that 7943 species of plants and
animals became dying out. The survival of Man himself was only possible because
of the caves and cellars (地窖) he was able to dig. Nothing could be done to reduce the hot air
temperature. More than seven hundred million persons are known to have lost
their lives.
Eventually the temperature of the
surface waters of the sea rose, not so fast as the air temperature, but fast
enough to produce a dangerous increase of humidity (湿度). It was indeed this increase
that produced the disastrous conditions just mentioned. Millions of people in
Cairo(开罗) and the
Cape of Good Hope(好望角) suffered from a choking atmosphere that grew damper and hotter
from day to day. All human movement stopped. There was nothing to be done but
to lie breathing quickly as a dog does in hot weather.
By the fourth week of July
conditions in the tropics lay balanced between life and total death. Then quite
suddenly rain clouds appeared over the whole globe. The temperature decreased a
little, due no doubt to the clouds reflecting more of the Sun’s radiation back
into space, But conditions could not be said to have improved. Warm rain fell
everywhere, even as far north as
53. In the
A. rose to eighty
B. stayed between eighty and ninety
C. approached one hundred
D. was above one hundred.
54. Millions of people in
A. people couldn’t find the caves
to escape from the heat
B. the humidity of the hot atmosphere
increased
C. air-conditioning units didn’t work there
D. the water temperature rose as
high as the air temperature.
55. What can be learned from the last paragraph of the passage?
A. People in tropics survived all because
of rain clouds.
B. At the end of July the
temperature continued to climb.
C. the insect population would get
smaller soon.
D. whether the conditions could be
improved still remained unknown
56. What is the best title of this passage?
A. Effect of Black Clouds on
Weather
B. Increase of Temperature on the
Earth
C. Terrible Conditions in Tropics
D. Survival of Man and Insects
Some people bring out the best in you in a way that you might never have fully realized on your own. My mom was one of those people.
My father died when I was nine months old, making my mom a single mother at the age of eighteen. While I was growing up, we lived a very hard life. We had little money, but my mom gave me a lot of love. Each night, she sat me on her lap and spoke the words that would change my life, “Kemmons, you are certain to be a great man and you can do anything in life if you work hard enough to get it.
At fourteen, I was hit by a car and doctors said I would never walk again. Every day, my mother spoke to me in her gentle, loving voice, telling me that no matter what those doctors said, I could walk again if I wanted to badly enough. She drove that message so deep into my heart that I finally believed her. A year later, I returned to school―walking on my own! When the Great Depression(大萧条) hit, my mom lost her job. Then I left school to support the both of us. At that moment, I was determined never to be poor again.
Over the years, I experienced various levels of business success. But the real turning point occurred on a vacation I took with my wife and five kids in 1951. I was dissatisfied with the second-class hotels available for families and was angry with they charged an extra $2 for each child. That was too expensive for the average American family. I told my wife that I was going to open a motel(汽车旅馆) for families that would never charge extra for children. There were plenty of doubters at that time.
Not surprisingly, mom was one of my strongest supporters. She worked behind the desk and even designed the room style. As in any business, we experienced a lot of challenges. But with my mother’s words deeply rooted in my soul, I never doubted we would succeed. Fifteen years later, we had the largest hotel system in the world―Holiday Inn. In 1979 my company had 1,759 inns in more than fifty countries with an income of $1 billion a year.
You may not have started out life in the best situations. But if you can find a task in life worth working for and believe in yourself, nothing can stop you.
57. What Kemmons’ mom often told him during his childhood was ______.
A. interesting B. moving C. encouraging D. caring
58. What caused Kemmons to start a motel by himself?
A. His terrible experience in the hotel.
B. His sense of business success.
C. His mom’s support.
D. His wife’s suggestion.
59. Which of the following best describes Kemmons’ mother?
A. Modest, helpful and hard-working.
B. Loving, strong-willed and supportive.
C. Careful, helpful and strong-willed.
D. Strict, brave and supportive.
60. Which of the following led to Kemmons’ success according to the passage?
A. Self-confidence, hard work, higher education and a poor family.
B. Mom’s encouragement, clear goals, self-confidence and hard work.
C. Clear goals, mom’s encouragement, a poor family and higher education.
D. Mom’s encouragement, a poor family, higher education and opportunities.

第三节（30分）
One possible version:
Famous University or Better Major?
High school graduates have different views about what kind of university they should go to .Some students focus their attention on the universities that are very famous across the country. Others have a preference for those that can offer a good major.
Students holding the first view usually think that people tend to pay much attention to the reputation of the university. If you are from a famous university, they will think you are an excellent student. However, holders of the second view will argue that one should choose a good major instead of a famous university. A good major will help you develop your ability and skills.
As far as I am concerned, I’d like to give my support to the second view. After all, it is your own ability and skills, not the fame of your university, that count most. So we should choose a good major and make great efforts to achieve self-development. If we blindly cling to those famous universities, we may fail to develop our full potential and make a great contribution to our society.
