Ⅶ. 阅读理解（共4小题；每小题3分，满分12分）
Everyone should visit a lighthouse at least once. The most important reason for such a visit is to realize how our ancestors battled nature with the basic tools they had to save ships from hitting rocks. Secondly, visiting lighthouses will help us to understand the lives of lighthouse keepers. By their very nature, lighthouses were built on some rocks or cliffs. Thus, the lighthouse keepers often lived lonely lives. To walk around their small home and imagine the angry storm outside beating against the wall, is to take a step towards understanding the lives they had. The reasons for a visit to a lighthouse are not all so backward-looking in time. It is true that lighthouses were built in out-of-the-way places. But on a pleasant sunny summer day, this very isolation has a natural beauty that many people will love to experience. Therefore, with the gentle waves touching all round the light house, the visitor is likely to think it a world preferable to the busy and noisy modern life. Another reason for considering a visit is that the lighthouses themselves can be very attractive buildings. Mankind could often not be content just to put up a basic structure, but felt the need, even in such an isolated place, to build with an artistic touch. The result is a view for tired eyes to enjoy. Finally, lighthouses have a romantic attraction, summed up by the image of the oilskin coaled keeper climbing his winding stairs to take care of the light to warn ships and save lives.
45. What is the reason to look back into the past
of a lighthouse?
A. To escape from the busy and noisy city.
B. To look for basic tools used by our ancestors.
C. To experience the natural beauty of a light-
house.
D. To learn about the living condition of light-
house keepers.
46. The underlined phrase “out-of-the-way”
means .
A. far-away B. dangerous
C. ancient D. secret
47. Lighthouses were often built with an artistic
touch .
A. to attract visitors
B. to guide passing ships
C. to give a pleasant sight
D. to remember lighthouse keepers
48. How many reasons are mentioned for a visit to a lighthouse?
A. Three. B. Four.
C. Five. D. Six.

33.D as well as 除……之外，也。
34.A extra 额外的。
35.C 句子的主语为he，故谓语动词用单数；“同意某人的话”用agree with。
36.B be fit for 意为“胜任”。
37.B be seen to do sth.是固定用法。
38.D 根据题意，此处需用as...as结构，所以B项不对，A、C为语序错误。全句意为“一般认为，教学如同科学一样是一门艺术”。
39. A 考查情景交际。句意：“你应该向她道歉，Barry。”“我认为如此，但那不是件容易的事。” I suppose so.“我认为如此”；I feel so.“我感觉如此”。
40. D 答语句意：那很适合我。fit指大小合适。
Ⅵ. 41. included改为including。
42.repair改为be repaired或to repair改为
repairing。
43.Does改为Is。
44.去掉第二个do。
Ⅶ.45. D 推理判断题。由前三句话可知。

Ⅵ.阅读理解（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）
Around the world more and more people are taking part in dangerous sports and activities. Of course, there have always been people who have looked for adventure(冒险活动)—those who have climbed the highest mountains, traveled into unknown parts of the world or sailed in small boats across the greatest oceans. Now, however, there are people who look for an immediate excitement from a risky(冒险的) activity which may only last a few minutes or even seconds.
I would consider bungee jumping(蹦极跳) to be a good example of such an activity. You jump from a high place (perhaps a bridge or a hot-air balloon) 200 metres above the ground with an elastic(有弹性的) rope tied to your ankles. You fall at up to 150 kilometres an hour until the rope stops you from hitting the ground. It is said that about 2 million people around the world have now tried bungee jumping. Other activities which most people would say are as risky as bungee jumping include jumping from tall buildings and diving into the sea from the top of high cliffs(悬崖).
Why do people take part in such activities as these? Some psychologists suggest that it is because life in modern societies has become safe and boring. Not very long ago, people’s lives were constantly in danger. They had to go out and hunt for food, diseases could not easily be cured(治愈),and life was a continuous battle for survival(生存).
Nowadays, according to many people, life offers little excitement. They live and work in compara-
tively(相对的) safe conditions; they buy food in shops; and there are doctors and hospitals to look after them if they become ill. The answer for some of these people is to look for danger in activities such as bungee jumping.

43. In bungee jumping, you .
A. jump as high as you can
B. slide down a rope to the ground
C. attach(系) yourself to a rope and fall to the ground
D. fall towards the ground without a rope
44. People probably take part in dangerous sports nowadays because .
A. they have a lot of free time
B. they can go to hospital if they are injured
C. their life is short of excitement
D. they no longer need to hunt for food

30. dangerous
Ⅴ.31.C take up在此意为“开始从事”。
32.C 本题考查由turn构成的动词短语。答句句意：我没在真正看书，只是在翻书。turn over“翻过一页书（纸）”，符合句意。turn off“关闭”；turn around“完成；提供；生产出”；turn up“调大；出现；发生”。
33.B 本题考查形容词与介词的搭配。be popular with...“受……的欢迎”。
34.A 句意：中国的大部分河流从西向东流淌。
35.B turn up “把（音量、火焰等）调大”；turn down “把（音量、火焰等）调小”；turn on “打开”；turn away “把……打发走”。
36.A 句意为“我已经查看了我所有的试卷，但我仍没找到我的笔记”。根据题意可知应选look through“浏览”。
37.A prefer to do...rather than do...意为“宁愿做……也不愿做……”。
38.D 根据句中的among the lowest in Britain和probably one of the highest可知前后的意义存在对比；while用作连词，可用于表示对比或相反的情况，意为“而，但是”。
39.C 此题意为：现代塑料能耐很高及很低的温度。stand意为“忍受，忍耐”。hold “抓住”；carry“搬运”；support “支持，支撑”。
40.B like doing sth.“喜欢做某事”,强调爱好；like to do sth.意为“（在某时刻）喜欢做某事”。

45.C 文章只是列举了一些刺激的活动，以及人们寻求刺激的原因，作者并未表明自己是赞同还是反对。

Norman Cousins was a businessman from the
United States who often traveled around the world
on business. He enjoyed his work and traveling.
Then, after returning to the United States from a busy and tiring trip to England, Mr Cousins got sick. Because he had pushed his body to the limit of its strength on the trip, a chemical change began to take place inside him. The material between his bones became weak.
In less than one week after his return, he could not stand. Every move that he made was painful. He was not able to sleep at night.
The doctors told him that they did not know how to cure Mr Cousins’ problem and he might never get over the illness. Mr Cousins, however, refused to give up hope.
Mr Cousins thought that unhappy thoughts were causing bad chemical changes in his body. He did not want to take medicine to cure himself. Instead, he felt that happy thoughts or laughter might cure his illness.
He began to experiment on himself while still in hospital by watching funny shows on television. Mr Cousins quickly found that 10 minutes of real laughter during the day gave him two hours, pain-
free sleep at night. Deciding that the doctors could not help him, Mr Cousins left the hospital and checked into a hotel room, where he could continue his experiments with laughter. For eight days, Mr Cousins rested in the hotel room watching funny shows on television, reading funny books, and sleeping whenever he felt tired. Within weeks, he felt well enough to take a vacation to Puerto Rico where he began running on the beach for exercise.
After a few months, Mr Cousins returned to work. He had laughed himself back to health.
41. What part of his body was affected by the illness?
A. The bones in his feet.
B. His mind when he slept.
C. The material between his bones.
D. His stomach.
42. What did Mr Cousins think caused his illness?
A. Bad food. B. Too much laughter.
C. Unhappy thoughts. D. The doctors.
43. Where did Mr Cousins go in order to cure himself?
A. To a hotel room. B. To the beach.
C. To the hospital. D. To the USA.
44. How long did it take before Mr Cousins went back to work?
A. A few days. B. A few months.
C. A few weeks. D. A few years.

Ⅵ. 阅读理解（共4小题；每小题2.5分，满分10分）
Recently my wife and I, along with a travel companion, were in the tiny town of Battambang in central Cambodia. We hired a guide to take us up the river to our next destination at Siem Reap.
This was to be a six-hour trip followed by crossing Lake Sap, the largest in central Asia. Battambang is an extremely poor area, and our mode of transportation was a very small, old boat not much larger than the three of us. With six bags tied to the front part of the boat, four travelers and the boatman, I figured we were overloaded by at least a ton. We frequently had seen four or five people on a single motorbike, so no one but us was concerned about our weight. We had been on the water only a few minutes when our pilot made for shore and jumped from our boat to another. Our guide said not to worry, it would only be a minute. He added, “We need to pick up live chickens for their legs.”My wife and I exchanged glances. We are pretty open-minded, especially when traveling in a foreign country. It was obvious there was little room in our tiny vessel for chickens. If we had to take them along, we were willing to hold them on our legs—there was no else place to put them. The thought even occurred to me that perhaps the chickens were needed if the boat’s tiny engine stopped in the middle of the river. I had a vision of us holding them over the side of the boat while their tiny legs paddled (划) away, guiding us to safety. After all, our guide had said we needed them for their legs.
We continued to make many jokes about live chickens drawing us to shore if the boat turned over and we were about eating them if we were left on a wild island. Meanwhile, our guide just gave us a puzzled look. Finally my wife turned to him and asked, “How many chickens shall we take?”At first he seemed totally surprised, and then a large smile spread over his face. He bent over and began to laugh uncontrollably. My wife turned to me and said, “I’m glad he finds the thought of us holding chickens on our legs for six hours so funny.” When he finished laughing, he looked at us and pronounced every word clearly and loudly, “Not live chickens!”I said, “We need life jackets for the lake!”It took a moment for this to sink in, and then we all had a good laugh. In fact, for the next six hours he kept asking us if our “chickens” fit all right and then laughed wildly. “Americans, so funny!” he kept saying.
41. The funny story happened .
A. in the tiny town of Battambang
B. on a motorbike
C. on a small and old boat
D. on a wild island
42. The pilot left their boat to .
A. pick up live chickens
B. pick up life jackets
C. make room for live chickens
D. make the boat weigh less
43. Which of the following events truly happened?
A. The couple held the chickens on their legs.
B. The chickens’s legs paddled the boat guid-
ing them to safety.
C. They ate the chickens while they were left on the wild island.
D. They made many jokes about live chickens.
44. The guide bent over and laughed uncontrol-
lably because .
A. he suddenly knew what the misunderstand-
ing was
B. he found their thought of holding chickens on their legs funny
C. he thought the American couple were funny
D. he thought all Americans were funny

34.A when在这里是并列连词，作“正在这时”讲。
35.B 根据从句的时态判断，所填词语必须含有“到……时候为止”之意，并作从句的时间状语。that不可以引导非限制性定语从句；on time意为“按时”，不符合题意；D项错误，此题无所属关系。故选B。
36.D put away 收好，放好；take down写下，记下；look over从……上面看，察看，检查；carry on继续。句意：吃完饭，经理们回到会议室继续讨论。
37.A at times 有时；at a time每次；at one time 曾经，一度。句意为“尽管我们是好朋友，我仍然发现有时候很难理解她”。
38.A break off 的意思为“打断，断绝，结束,停止”。

因此在旅途中他们就以live?chickens而逗乐，这能从最后两句话看出来。
44.A 当作者的妻子问导航员准备带几只鸡时，这使导航员惊呆了一会儿，最终他明白这对夫妇把他说的话误解为live?chickens，所以他笑弯了腰。

Ⅵ.阅读理解（共3小题；每小题5分，满分15分）
Geologists have been studying volcanoes for a long time. Though they have learned a great deal, they still have not discovered the cause of volcanic action. They know that the inside of the earth is very hot, but they are not sure exactly what causes the great heat. Some geologists have thought that the heat is caused by the great pressure of the earth’s outer layers. Or the heat may be left from the time when the earth was formed. During the last sixty years, scientists have learned about radium, uranium, thorium, and other radioactive elements. Many scientists now believe that much of the heat inside the earth is produced by radioactive elements.
Whatever the cause of the heat may be, we do know that the earth gets hotter the farther down we dig. In deep mines and oil wells the temperatures rise about 1°F for every 50 feet. At this rate of the temperature 40 miles below the earth’s surface should be over 4 000°F.This is much hotter than necessary to melt rock. However, the pressure of the rock above keeps most materials from melting at their usual melting points. Geologists believe that the rock deep in the earth may be plastic, or putty like (油灰状的). In other words, the rock yields slowly to pressure but is not liquid. But if some change in the earth’s crust releases the pressure, the rock melts. Then the hot, liquid rock can move up toward the surface.
41. The cause for the great heat inside of the earth is .
A. great pressure of the earth’s outer layers
B. the heat left from the time when the earth
was formed
C. radioactive elements giving out heat
D. not sure
42. According to the passage, prevents
most rock from melting at its usual melting
points.
A. the pressure of the rock itself
B. the pressure of the rock above
C. the pressure of the earth’s outer layers
D. the heat given out by some radioactive elements
43. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true?
A. The farther down, the hotter the earth gets.
B. The rock deep in the earth is liquid.
C. When the pressure releases from the earth’s crust, the rock melts.
D. Rock would be melted at 4 000°F.

33.C challenge挑战。
34.B would like to do sth.“想要做某事”。

36.D I’d love to, but...为委婉拒绝用语。
37.C since 因为，由于。
38.D since自……以来。
39.A unless=if...not“除非”；because“因为”； although“尽管”；when“当……时候”。句意：你很难想象它是多么令人快乐，除非你已经试过。
40.D 根据答语知应用否定回答，D项符合题意。
Ⅵ.41.D 作者在回答这个问题时，用的都是“或许”，并没有把握。
42.B 由第二段中的However, the pressure of the rock above keeps most materials from
melting at their usual melting points.可推出答案。
43.B 从最后一段倒数第三句In other words, the rock yields slowly to pressure but is not
liquid.可知在地球里面的岩石并不是液体，只有地球释放了这种压力，它们才以液体的形式涌向地球表面。

He wasn’t satisfied with just 30 .At times, he would turn, sit down, and 31 go to his knees. Once, he had the astonishing 32 to lie down on the thin thread. And thousands of 33 watchers stared with their hearts beating fast.
After the forty-five-minute 34 ,Philippe was taken to the police station. He was asked 35 he did it. Philippe shrugged and said, “When I see two tall buildings, I walk.”

A
Modern Sun Worshippers
People travel for a lot of reasons. Some tourists go to see battlefields or religious shrines．Others are looking for culture, or simply want to have their picture taken in front of famous places. But most European tourists are looking for a sunny beach to lie on.
Northern Europeans are willing to pay a lot of money and put up with a lot of inconveniences for the sun because they have so little of it. Residents of cities like London, Copenhagen, and Amsterdam spend a lot of their winter in the dark because the days are so short, and much of the rest of the year in the rain. This is the reason the Mediterranean has always attracted them．Every summer, more than 25 million people travel to Mediterranean resorts and beaches for their vacation．They all come for the same reason：sun!
The huge crowds mean lots of money for the economies of Mediterranean(地中海)countries．Italy’s 30,000 hotels are booked solid every summer．And 13 million people camp out on French beaches, parks, and roadsides. Spain’s long sandy coastline attracts more people than anywhere else.37 million tourists visit yearly, or one tourist for every person living in Spain.
But there are signs that the area is getting more tourism than it can handle. The Mediterranean is already one of the most polluted seas on earth. And with increased tourism, it’s getting worse. The French can’t figure out what to do with all the garbage(垃圾)left by campers around St. Tropez. And in many places, swimming is dangerous because of pollution.
None of this, however, is spoiling anyone’s fun. The Mediterranean is more popular every year with tourists. Obviously, they don’t go there for clean water and solitude. They tolerate traffic jams and seem to like crowded beaches. They don’t even mind the pollution. No matter how dirty the water is, the coastline still looks beautiful. And as long as the sun shines, it’s still better than sitting in the cold rain in Berlin, London, or Oslo.
36. The writer seems to imply that Europeans travel mostly for the reason that .
A. they want to see historic remains or religious spots
B. they are interested in different cultural traditions and custom
C. they would like to take pictures in front of famous sites
D. they wish to escape from the cold, dark, rainy days back at home
37. Which country attracts more tourists than the others?
A. Italy. B. France.
C. Spain. D. Greece.
38. At the end of Paragraph 3, the word “for” is used in the expression “one tourist for every person living in Spain”. Here, “for” can best be replaced by .
A.in comparison with B.to
C. on behalf of D. against
39. According to the passage, which of the following factors might spoil tourists? fun at Mediterranean resorts and beaches?
A. Polluted water. B. Crowded beaches.
C. Traffic jams. D. Rainy weather.
B
Nervous suspects(嫌疑犯) locked up in Britain’s newest police station may feel relieved by a pleasant yellow colour on the door. If they are close to confessing a crime, the blue on the wall might tip the balance.
Gwent Police have abandoned colours such as greys and browns of the 20th-century police cell(牢房) and have used colour psychology to decorate them.
Ystrad Mynach station, which recently opened at a cost of ￡ 5 million, has four cells with glass doors for prisoners who suffer from claustrophobia(幽闭恐惧症).Designers have painted the frames yellow, which researchers say is calming colour. Other cells contain a royal blue line because psychologists believe that the colour is likely to encourage truthfulness.
The station has 31 cells, including 12 with a “live scan” system for drunken or disturbed prisoners, which detects the rise and fall of their chest. An alarm alerts officers if a prisoner’s breathing stops and carries on ringing until the door is opened.
Designers and psychologists have worked for years on colour. Blue is said to suggest trust, efficiency, duty, logic, coolness, thinking and calm. It also suggests coldness and unfriendliness. It is thought that strong blues will stimulate clear thought and lighter, soft colours will calm the mind and aid concentration.
Yellow is linked with confidence, self-respect and friendliness. Get the colour wrong and it could cause fear, depression and anxiety, but the right yellow can lift spirits and self-respect.
Ingrid Collins, a psychologist who specializes in the effects of colour, said that colour was an “energy force”. She said, “Blue does enhance communication but I am sure it would enhance truthful communication.”
Yellow, she said, affected the mind. Red, on the other hand, should never be considered because it could increase aggression. Mrs Collins praised the designers for using colours in the cells. Gwent is not the first British force to experiment with colour to calm down or persuade prisoners to cooperate. In the 1990s Strathclyde Police used pink in cells based on research carried out by the US Navy.
40. The expression “tip the balance” in paragraph 1 probably indicates that the blue might .
A. let suspects keep their balance
B. help suspects to confess their crimes
C. make suspects cold and unfriendly in law court
D. enable suspects to change their attitudes to colours
41. Which of the following colours should NOT be used in cells according to the passage?
A. Pink. B. Yellow.
C. Blue. D. Red.
42. Which of the following helps alert officers if someone stops breathing?
A. Scanning equipment.
B. Royal blue lines.
C. Glass doors.
D. Yellow frames.
43. The passage is mainly concerned with .
A. the relationship between colours and psychology
B. a comparison of different functions of colours
C. the use of colours in cells to affect criminals’? psychology
D. scientific ways to help criminals reform themselves in prison

In 1901, H. G. Wells, an English writer, wrote a book describing a trip to the moon. When the explorers(探险者)landed on the moon, they discovered that the moon was full of underground cities. They expressed their surprise to the “moon people” they met. In turn, the “moon people” expressed their surprise. “Why”, they asked, “are you traveling to outer space when you don’t even use your inner space?”
H. G. Wells could only imagine travel to the moon. In 1969, human beings really did land on the moon. People today know that there are no underground cities on the moon. However, the question that the “moon people” asked is still an interesting one. A growing number of scientists are seriously thinking about it.
Underground systems are already in place. Many cities have underground car parks. In some cities, such as Tokyo, Seoul and Montreal, there are large underground shopping areas. The Chunnel, a tunnel(隧道）connecting England and France, is now complete.
But what about underground cities? Japan’s Taisei Corporation is designing a network of underground systems, called “Alice Cities”. The designers imagine using surface space for public parks and using underground space for flats, offices, shopping, and so on. A solar dome(太阳能穹顶)would cover the whole city.
Supporters of underground development say that building down rather than building up is a good way to use the earth’s space. The surface, they say, can be used for farms, parks, gardens, and wilderness. H. G. Wells? “moon people” would agree. Would you?
44. The explorers in H. G. Wells’? story were surprised to find that the “moon people” .
A. knew so much about the earth
B. understood their language
C. lived in so many underground cities
D. were ahead of them in space technology
45. What does the underlined word “it” (Paragraph 2)refer to?
A. Discovering the moon’s inner space.
B. Using the earth’s inner space.
C. Meeting the “moon people” again.
D. Traveling to outer space.
46. What sort of underground systems are already here with us?
A. Offices, shopping areas, power stations.
B. Tunnels, car parks, shopping areas.
C. Gardens, car parks, power stations.
D. Tunnels, gardens, offices.
47. What would be the best title for the text?
A. Alive cities—cities of the future
B. Space travel with H. G. Wells
C. Enjoy living underground
D. Building down, not up

In 1997,a group of twenty British women made history. Working in five teams with four women in each team, they walked to the North Pole. Apart from one experienced female guide, the other women were all ordinary people who had never done anything like this in their lives before. They managed to survive in an environment which had defeated several very experienced men during the same period.
Once on the ice, each woman had to ski along while dragging a sledge(雪橇) weighing over 50 kilos. The Arctic ice is pushed up into huge piles of two or three meters high, and the sledges had to be pulled up one side and carefully let down the other all on rough surface so that they didn’t become damaged. The temperature was always below the freezing point and sometimes strong winds made walking while pulling so much weight almost impossible. It was also very difficult for them to put up their tents when they stopped each night.
In such conditions, the women were making good progress if they covered fourteen or fifteen kilometers a day. However, part of the journey was across a frozen sea with moving water underneath the ice and at some points the team would drift(漂流) back more than five kilometers during the night. That meant that after walking in these very severe conditions for ten hours on one day, they had to spend part of the next day covering the same ground again.
So, how did they manage to succeed? They realized that they were part of a team. If anyone of them didn’t pull her sledge or get her job done, she would endanger the success of the whole expedition. Any form of selfishness could result in the efforts of everyone else’s being completely wasted, so personal feelings had to be put to one side. At the end of their journey, the women agreed that it was mental effort far more than physical fitness that got them to the North Pole.
48. The expedition was extraordinary because .
A. there was no one to lead it
B. the women did not have any men with them
C. it was a new experience for most of the women
D. the women had not met one another before
49. On the expedition, the women had to be particularly careful to avoid .
A. falling over on the ice
B. being left behind
C. damaging the sledges
D. getting too cold at night
50. The women could not cover 15 kilometers a day mainly because .
A. they got too tired
B. the ice was moving
C. they kept getting lost
D. the temperature was too low
51. The passage seems to tell us that .
A. motivation and teamwork achieve goals
B. women can do anything that they want
C.it is good to experience difficult conditions
D. the Arctic conditions are very severe

Over the last 70 years, researchers have been studying happy and unhappy people and finally found out ten factors that make a difference. Our feelings of well-being at any moment are determined to a certain degree by genes. However, of all the factors, wealth and age are the top two.
Money can buy a degree of happiness. But once you can afford to feed, clothes and house yourself, each extra dollar makes less and less difference.
Researchers find that, on average, wealthier people are happier. But the link between money and happiness is complex. In the past half-century, average income has sharply increased in developed countries, yet happiness levels have remained almost the same. Once your basic needs are met, money only seems to increase happiness if you have more than your friends, neighbors and colleagues.
“Dollars buy status, and status makes people feel better,” conclude some experts, which helps explain why people who can seek status in other ways—scientists or actors, for example—may happily accept relatively poorly-paid jobs.
In a research, Professor Alex Michalos found that the people whose desires—not just for money, but for friends, family, job, health—rose furthest beyond what they already had, tended to be less happy than those who felt a smaller gap(差距）.Indeed, the size of the gap predicted happiness about five times better than income alone. “The gap measures just blow away the only measures of income.” says Michalos.
Another factor that has to do with happiness is age. Old age may not be so bad. “Given all the problems of aging, how could the elderly be more satisfied？” asks Professor Laura Carstensen.
In one survey, Carstensen interviewed 184 people between the ages of 18 and 94, and asked them to fill out an emotions questionnaire. She found that old people reported positive emotions just as often as young people, but negative emotions much less often.
Why are old people happier? Some scientists suggest older people may expect life to be harder and learn to live with it, or they’re more realistic about their goals, only setting ones that they know they can achieve. But Carstensen thinks that with time running out, older people have learned to focus on things that make them happy and let go of those that don’t.
“People realize not only what they have, but also that what they have cannot last forever,” she says. “A goodbye kiss to a husband or wife at the age of 85, for example, may bring far more complex emotional responses than a similar kiss to a boy or girl friend at the age of 20.”
52. According to the passage, the feeling of happiness .
A. is determined partly by genes
B. increases gradually with age
C. has little to do with wealth
D. is measured by desires
53. Some actors would like to accept poorly-paid jobs because the jobs .
A. make them feel much better
B. provide chances to make friends
C. improve their social position
D. satisfy their professional interests
54. Aged people are more likely to feel happy because they are more .
A. optimistic B. successful
C. practical D. emotional
55. Professor Alex Michalos found that people feel less happy if .
A. the gap between reality and desire is bigger
B. they have a stronger desire for friendship
C. their income is below their expectation
D. the hope for good health is greater

Winter sports are very popular in European and North American countries. These places usually receive a lot of snow during the winter months.
Skiing and skating become the major sports activities for the Westerners during the winter. People from Norway, Italy, the United States, Sweden and Canada all like winter sports.
Winter sports such as alpine skiing and skating(高山滑雪) are very popular because they allow people to keep warm while enjoying outdoors.
People can exercise outdoors in beautiful surroundings: snow-covered mountains and pine trees among endless white snow. Putting oneself into the white world and breathing fresh air, one can relax and forget all worries. Of course, the practice of flying down the hills excites people.
The Alps in Europe is the most ideal place for skiing. The Rocky Mountains in the Western United States is another good place.
Some people call winter sports “royal sports”. That is because of their high cost. These sports always require expensive equipment. They also need high-standard places to be enjoyed.
Winter sports are not popular in China. The southern and coastal areas have no skiing and skating. And the snow-blanketed northeastern and southwestern areas have very poor equipment. But thanks to the efforts of the government, China has caught up with world-class competition in short track speed skating(短道速滑).This is also true to women’s figure skating. However, in alpine skiing events, China .

答案与解析
1.D 第一个空考查定语从句中的主谓一致，谓语动词的数与先行词保持一致；as well as连接两个主语时，谓语动词由前面的主语来决定，故第二个空用单数形式。
2. C be tired with sth.“因……而感到累的（或疲乏的）”；be tired of doing sth.“对做某事感到厌烦了”。句意：走了很长一段路我感到累了，但我不讨厌走路。
3.C 常用来回答Thank you...的常见句型：You’re welcome./That’s all right./(It’s)My pleasure./Don’t mention it./Not at all.等。
4.D be strongly impressed on one’s memory“给某人留下深刻印象”。
5.A 考查“介词+关系代词”引导的定语从句。根据题意应该是“在那以后”，故选A项。
6.D 考查定语从句。先行词a day care center表示地点，定语从句由关系副词where引导，相当于in which。故选D项。
7.D 该句中考查了“find+宾语+宾补”结构中作宾语补足语的confusing，意为“令人感到迷惑的”。
8.C 考查“hear+宾语+do/doing/done”结构。因为English是“被说”，故用spoken作宾补，表示被动。
9.B 句意：经过两年的研究，我们现在对这种疾病有了更进一步的了解。依照句意，四个选项中只有B项可以和比较级连用。故选B项。
10.C 句意：谈到他所创作的歌曲，这很可能是他最著名的一首了。根据句意，此题应选用最高级形式。well的最高级形式是best，所以C项为正确答案。
11.C 考查动词短语的辨析。A项“出发；动身”；B项“接管”；C项“从事”；D项“成立，建立”。由句意知C项正确。
12.D 本题考查动词短语的辨析。find out“查明，发现，了解”；give out“分发；筋疲力尽；用完”；hand out“分发”；work out“算出；结果是”。由句意“我们本想正午前完成任务，但结果并没像计划的那样”可知D项正确。
13.C that从句中know的动作发生在句子谓语动词felt之前，因此从句谓语动词应用过去完成时态。句意：我们于2000年在火车上第一次相遇。我们两人都立刻觉得我们已认识好多年了。
14.C 本题考查形容词短语作状语，表示状态。
15.D differ in“在……方面不同”。
16.A 由前文“夏天的一个清早，睡眼惺忪的人们在街道上快速行走”，以及下文的“上班高峰期”可知,人们朝他们的工作赶去。B项不合文意；C项不能表示其目的地；D项则具有片面性，因为上班的人不一定都在办公室。
17.D这是又一个平凡的日子的开始,与下文中的different形成对比。
18.C前后两句为转折关系,以突出本句中的different。
19.D 根据下文on top of a...可知是在拥挤的街道的上空。
20.D 由本句中的110层高可知是一座楼房。
21.B 照应结尾中的“I walk”。

23.A 根据下文他的表现可知他“确信”他能做这件事。
24.C A项表“通过（常指从物体空间内部）”；B项表“靠着”；C项表“带有；用”；D项表“在……上边”。此处指他仅“拿着”一根平衡杆。
25.A 由上文的across（横穿）和后边的131 feet 可知此处指他所要走的距离。
26.B 很快上班高峰期的人们开始注意。
27.C 由本句后的感叹号和下文的空中行走可知此为一项奇迹。
28.D 由于在1 350英尺的高度，故此人看起来显得“很小”。
29.C 由back and forth “来来回回”可知走了“七趟”，故用“trip”。
30.A 上文中的...was walking on air和下文中他做的转身、坐下等动作可知，他对仅仅行走不满意。
31.B “甚至”还跪着走。
32.D 有一次，他竟然有令人惊奇的“勇气”躺在那根细绳上。
33.B 由后边的“心跳加速”可知是感到害怕。
34.A 由上文他所做的多种动作可知是一种“表演”。
35.B 由答语可知是问他为什么那样做。
36.D 第一段首先在主题句中指出人们外出旅行的原因多种多样，然后以“some”和“others”举出一些实例，最后以转折连词“but”点出欧洲游客对阳光特殊的追求。只有D项是大部分欧洲游客的旅行动机，所以选D。
37.C 由第三段中“Spain’s long sandy coastline attracts more people than anywhere else.”可知。
38.B 去西班牙旅行的游客人数与西班牙人口比例达1∶1,即 one to one ,因此“for”相当于“to”，所以选B。A项意为“与……相比”，C项意为“代表……”，D项意为“与……相反”，均不符合题意。
39.D 由最后一段可知，只有多雨的天气才能破坏游客们的兴致。
40.B当嫌疑犯快要招供时，墙上涂上蓝色时可加快嫌疑犯招供的速度。因为黄色使人放松，蓝色则能促进人们的交流。
41.D因为红色会增强攻击性。
42.A由文章第四段可知，a “live?scan” system为“实时扫描系统”。
43.C文章讲述了监狱通过用蓝、黄等不同的颜色对疑犯的心理产生一定影响从而更有效地达到管理目的。
44.C 该题是细节考查题。从文章第一段中“...they discovered that the moon was full of underground cities. They expressed their surprise to the ‘moon people’ they met.”可知应选C。
45.B 该题是词义猜测题。由第一段最后一句话及第二段得知，it指上文提到的underground cities，也就是上一段提到的inner space。
46.B 该题是细节考查题。从第三段的“Many cities have underground car parks. In some cities, such as Tokyo, Seoul and Montreal, there are large underground shopping areas. The Chunnel, a tunnel connecting England and France, is now complete.”可知答案。
47.D 该题是一个主旨大意理解和概括题。首段已点到，最后一段首句又总结了地下开发的支持者的意见：Supporters of underground development say that building down rather than building up is a good way to use the earth’s space.由此我们可知应选Ｄ。
48.C 考查细节理解。根据第一段第三句“...the other women were all ordinary people who had never done anything like this in their lives before.” 可知应选C。
49.B 考查推理判断。根据最后一段前半部分的叙述可知她们明白作为团队的一部分，每个人都应尽力完成自己的工作，否则整个计划就会受到影响，其他人的努力都将化为泡影。由此可知应选B。
50.B 考查细节理解。根据第三段后半部分的描写可知应选B。
51.A 考查作者意图。前三段讲述了20名女士克服重重困难最终成功的故事，最后一段则剖析了她们成功的原因，所以最后一段才是文章的中心，它强调团队合作精神和坚定信念的力量，因此A项体现了作者的真正意图。
52.A 由第一段第二句话可知A项正确；由倒数第三段可知B项错误；由第一段最后一句话可知C项错误；D项说法片面，不完整。
53.C 由第四段内容可知“有些演员会接受报酬低廉的工作，因为就是这些工作能提高他们的社会地位”。
54.C 由倒数第二段中“they’re more realistic about their goals”可知。
55.A 由第五段内容可知如果现实与欲望之间的差距太大，有些人就会感到不是很幸福。

College and Success in Life
Nowadays, a lot of people believe going to college is the only way to a brighter future. But as for me, college education is important but not a must in life, just as the famous saying goes “All roads lead to Rome”.
Undoubtedly, a college education has a positive effect on your professional development if you want to have a career such as law, engineering, chemistry or medicine, especially in a society full of competition.
Although it can help you succeed in some way, a college education is not essential to whether you are successful or not in life. For instance, you can even become a brilliant movie star like Jackie Chan.
In conclusion, a college education may be a good preparation but definitely not the only means to your future success.
