二、阅读理解
YOU don‘t need millions to be happy. In fact, at The Happiness Institute in Australia, a couple of hundred dollars may be enough. The institute opened its doors last year, and, since then, men and women of all ages have been paying A$200 an hour (US$140) for lessons on how to feel great.“You can actually increase your happiness levels. That’s what we teach,” said Timothy Sharp, founder of the institute. Experts say that only about 15 per cent of happiness comes from income, assets and other financial factors. As much as 85 per cent comes from things such as attitude, life control and relationships. Most of us are significantly better off financially than our parents and grandparents, but happiness levels haven‘t changed to reflect that. Studies show that once the basic needs of shelter and food are met, additional wealth adds very little to happiness. Many decades ago, the “sage of Baltimore, Maryland”, editor HL Mencken, defined wealth as earning US$100 more than your “wife’s sister‘s husband.”
Behavioral economists now say part of the reason we are richer but not happier is because we compare ourselves to people better off materially.“The argument is that if you want to be happy there‘s a very simple thing you can do: Compare yourself to people who are less well off than you — poorer, smaller house, car,” said Sharp. The Happiness Institute aims to show you how to overcome these unhappiness factors by focusing on “more than just your bank account.”
“If I compare myself to Bill Gates then I‘m always going to be down,” said Sharp. A better thing to compare with, he said, might be Kerry Packer, Australia’s richest person who has had a kidney transplant and heart surgery in recent years.
11. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?
A. You can increase your happiness levels by attending the classes at the Happiness Institute.
B. Most of us are happier than our parents or grandparents since we earn more.
C. Earning US$ 100 more than your wife‘s sister’s husband if you want to be happy.
D. Both Bill Gates and Kerry Packer are examples of those who are extremely rich but obviously unhappy.
答案:A
12. The underlined phrase has the same meaning as the word _______.
A. healthy B. unhealthy C. free D. wealthy
答案:D
13. The author wrote the passage to tell us _______.
A. happiness is everything B. wealth is the foundation of happiness
C. have fun at the Happiness Institute D. money doesn‘t always mean happiness
答案:D

C Every day we go to school and listen to the teacher, and the teacher will ask us some questions. Sometimes, the classmates will ask for your opinions of the work of the class. When you are telling others in the class what you have found out about these topics, remember that they must be able to hear what you are saying. You are not taking part in a family conversation or having a chat with friends—you are in a slightly unnatural situation where a large group of people will remain silent, waiting to hear what you have to say. You must speak so that they can hear you—loudly enough and clearly enough but without trying to shout or appearing to force yourself. Remember, too, that it is the same if you are called to an interview whether it is with a professor of your school or a government official who might meet you. The person you are seeing will try to put you at your ease (not worried) but the situation is somewhat different from that of an ordinary conversation. You must take special care that you can be heard.
18. When you speak to the class, you should speak ________.
A. as slowly as possible B. in a low voice C. loudly D. forcefully
答案:C
19. Usually, when you speak to the class, the class is ________.
A. noisy B. quiet C. having a rest D. serious

22. The main idea of this passage is _______.
A. that we should talk in different ways in different situations B. that we must speak loudly
C. that we must keep silent at any time D. that we must talk with the class
答案:A
D The first day of school our professor introduced himself and challenged us to get to know someone we didn’t know. I stood up to look around when a gentle hand touched my shoulder. I turned around to find a wrinkled, little old lady beaming up at me with a smile that lit up her entire being. She said, “Hi, girl! My name is Rose. I‘m 87 years old. Can I give you a hug?”
I laughed and enthusiastically(热情地)responded, “Of course you may!” and she gave me a giant squeeze.“Why are you in college at such a young, innocent age?” I asked. She jokingly replied, “I‘m here to meet a rich husband, get married, have a couple of children, and then retire and travel!”
“No seriously,” I said. I was curious what may have motivated her to be taking on this challenge at her age.“I always dreamed of having a college education and now I‘m getting one!” she told me. Over the course of the year, Rose became a campus icon and she easily made friends wherever she went. She loved to dress up and she reveled in the attention bestowed upon her from the other students. She was living it up. At the end of the semester we invited Rose to speak at our football banquet. I’ll never forget what she taught us.“We do not stop playing because we are old; we grow old because we stop playing. There are only two secrets to staying young, being happy, and achieving success. You have to laugh and find humor everyday. You‘ve got to have a dream. When you lose your dreams, you die!” she said.“There is a huge difference between growing older and growing up. If you are nineteen years old and lie in bed for one full year and don’t do one productive thing, you will turn 20 years older. If I am 87 years old, and stay in bed for a year, and never do anything, I will turn 88. Anybody can grow older. But every minute counts for young men,” she added.“The idea is to grow up by always finding the opportunity in change. Have no regrets. The elderly usually don‘t have regrets for what we did, but rather for things we did not do. The only people who fear death are those with regrets.”
She concluded her speech by courageously singing “The Song of Rose”. She challenged each of us to study the lyrics(歌词)and live them out in our daily lives. At the year‘s end, Rose finished the college degree she had begun all those years ago. One week after graduation Rose died peacefully in her sleep.
23. Rose made herself known to the author in a ______ manner.
A. serious B. cold C. humorous D. crazy
答案:C
24. From the information provided in the passage, we know ______.
A. Rose finished the college degree within a year
B. Rose did realize her dream of meeting a rich husband and getting married through college education

答案:C

E Herds of zebra, impala and giraffe from South Africa‘s Kruger Park found a new home as part of the Great Limpopo Transfrontier Park (GLTP) wildlife relocation project. About 1,000 animals, from the large blue wildebeest to the stocky warthog, have been relocated to the park straddling South African, Mozambican and Zimbabwean territory. The game from South Africa arrived in the Massingir area of Mozambique’s southern Maputo province after a one-and-a-half-hour trip by truck. South African National Parks chief executive Mavuso Msimang and the Peace Parks Foundation officially handed over the animals to Mozambican representatives.“This project is not only about the management of an ecosystem, but also about community empowerment and tourism,” Msimang said. Border fences are coming down with the establishment of the park, which will be the world‘s biggest game reserve, to allow elephants and other herds to follow ancient migration routes. The park, due to be officially opened next year, will be bigger than the Netherlands, covering some 38,600 square kilometers(15,440 square miles). Under a three-year plan, about 6,000 animals are to be moved into the area, where wildlife was decimated(大批杀害)during Mozambique’s 25-year civil war. African Wildlife Foundation community development officer Jeremiah Machavi said 62 communities living in the area would be affected by the establishment of Transfrontier Park. Tourists will be able to travel across international boundaries in the park without having to show their passports. The relocation process started in October last year when about 30 elephants were released into the park.

A. Kruger Park B. GLTP C. South African National Park D. African wildlife Foundation
答案:B
28. How many more animals will be taken to Transfrontier Park?

答案:C
29. What will not be affected by the establishment of GLTP?
A. the ecosystem and tourism B. tourism and communities C. international boundaries D. African wildlife
答案:C
30. From the passage we can conclude that ______.
A. the herds of animals mentioned in the first paragraph were the first to be taken to the park
B. the Great Limpopo Transfrontier is located in Mozambique
C. no border fences will be seen inside the park so that animals can migrate
D. the Netherlands is the second largest reserve

结论。
答案: What I am proud of doing in my study
As a student, the most remarkable thing I ever remembered is doing chemical experiments. This is also what I am proud of doing in my study. I cherish every chance when there is a time for doing experiments. The reasons may be listed as the following.
To begin with, doing chemical experiments is a good way to deepen my understanding of what I have learned in my chemistry class. Learning science is absolutely different from learning humanistic subjects. It emphasizes more on the application of book knowledge. When doing experiments, I am happy to check the knowledge in my textbook during the process of experiment and it is in this process that I developed a strong interest in chemistry and laid a solid foundation for my further study. Secondly, doing experiments is beneficial for developing a strict and precise attitude toward science. I should be extreme careful when designing experiments because no small mistakes are allowed, otherwise I cannot obtain the expected results. Besides, since it is very easy for various chemical elements to react when mixed together, I should decide the precise amount used in experiments. All these contribute to develop a strict mind.
To conclude, doing chemical experiments is the most rewarding experiences in my study. I am proud of the ability in doing experiments.
