  • 第6题：

    How often one hears children wishing they were grown up，and old people wishing they were young again. Each age has its pleasures and its pains，and the happiest person is the one who enjoys what each age gives him without wasting his time in useless regrets.

    Childhood is a time when there are few responsibilities. If a child has good parents，he is well fed，looked after and loved. It is unlikely that he will ever again in his life be given so much without having to do anything in return. In addition，life is always presenting new things to the child-things that have lost their，interest for older people because they are too well known. A child finds pleasure in playing in the rain，or in the snow. His first，visit to the seaside is a marvelous adventure. But a child has his pains：he is not so free to do as he wishes as he thinks older people are；he is continually being told what to do and what not to do. Therefore，a child is not happy as he wishes to be.

    When the young man starts to earn his own living，he becomes free from the discipline of school and parents；but at the same time he is forced to accept responsibilities. With no one to pay for his food，his clothes，or his room，he has to work if he wants to live comfortably. If he spends most of his time playing about in the way that he used to as a child，he will go hungry. And if he breaks the laws of society as he used to break the laws of his parents，he may get himself into trouble. If，however，he works hard，goes by the law and has good health，he may feel satisfied in seeing himself make steady progress in his job and in building up for himself his own position in society.

    Old age has always been thought of as the worst age to be；but it is not necessary for the old to be unhappy. With old age comes wisdom and the ability to help others with advice wisely given. The old can have the joy of seeing their children making progress in life；they can watch their grandchildren growing up around them；and，perhaps best of all，they can，if their life has been a useful one，feel the happiness of having come through the battle of life safely and of having reached a time when they can lie back and rest，leaving everything to others.

    The happiest people should be those who______.

    A．face up to difficulties in life

    B．hope to be young again

    C．enjoy life in different ages

    D．wish to be grown up


    正确答案：C
    解析：见第一段，每一个年龄段有快乐和烦恼，最快乐的人不会浪费他的时间去后悔，而是享受每个午龄段所带给他的。

    根据下面资料，回答
    A proverb from ancient China was widely spread in the West: "If you want to be happy for a few hours, go to get drunk; if you want the happiness to last three years, get married; if you want lifetime happiness, take up gardening." The reason for the last is this: Gardening is not only useful, but it helps you to identify yourself with nature, and thus brings you new joy each day besides improving your health.
    A research of a US university that I′ve read gives a definition of happiness as what makes a person feel comfortably pleased. To put it simply, happiness is an active state of mind where one thinks one′ s life is meaningful, satisfactory and comfortable. This should be something lasting rather than transitory.
    Lots of people regard it the happiest to be at leisure. But according to a study, it is not a person with plenty of leisure but one at work that feels happy, especially those busy with work having little time for leisure. Happiness does not mean gains one is after but a desire to harvest what one is seeking for. People often do not treasure what they already have but desire what they cannot get. That is somewhat like a man with fond dreams of numerous lovers while unwilling to settle down with the woman beside him.
    Happiness is a game balancing between two ends--what one has and what one wishes for, i.e. one′s dream and the possibility to realize it. The study comes to this conclusion: A happy man is one who aims high but never forgets his actual situation; one who meets challenges that develop his ability and potentiality; one who′s proud of his achievements and the recognition given to him. He has self-respect and self-confidence; treasures his own identity and loves freedom. He is sociable and enjoys wide range communication with others; he′s helpful and ready to accept assistance. He knows he is able to bear sufferings and failures; he is sensible enough to get fun from daily work. He is a man capable of love and passion.
    Who is more likely to be unhappy according to the study?

    A.The man who is ambitious regardless of his actual situation.
    B.The one who has self-esteem and has confidence in himself.
    C.The one who can take pleasure in communicating with others.
    D.The one who always helps others and also accepts help from others.

    答案：A
    解析：
    细节题。根据文章最后一段内容，幸福的人是既能够树立高远的目标，又不会忘记实际情况的人；幸福的人是自尊、自信的人，他认可自己。并且热爱自由。幸福的人善于社交，并且能够从与其他人进行的广泛交流中得到乐趣；幸福的人热心助人，并且愿意接受别人的帮助。只有A项与文意不符，故选A。

  • 第14题：

    (阅读理解题)Advertising is a form. of selling. It makes you want to buy a product or a service. In order to attract your interest it uses various approaches. One is the emotional approach. For example, consider an advertisement for a blanket. It is beautifully printed in full color. It shows a young woman looking dreamily at a pretty blanket. “To you a blanket is more than a source of warmth,” it says. “You need beauty as well as a good night’s sleep.” Looking at the advertisement, you may feel flattered. You may feel yourself different from those who buy blankets simply for warmth. And so you may want to have one yourself. In the same way, a man may buy a certain make of car just because he wants to impress his friends. This seems ridiculous, of course, since people buy a car as a means of transportation. But there are many people who secretly feel that a certain car will give them prestige. To realize this, you have only to look at TV commercials in which nice-looking cars are shown together with people everyone admires. On the contrary, when a man buys a delivery truck for his business that is not the case. Here he will not try to seem important as he may when he buys a luxury car. What he has in mind is a truck that will do its job efficiently. Similarly, a woman buying a refrigerator will not be led by her emotions so easily. She wants to know such facts as how much food it can hold and whether the food is easy to reach. In such cases, advertising is generally straightforward. It gives you the facts about a product rather than an idea. Generally, advertisements use either the emotional or the rational approach, or a combination of the two. Advertising reflects our way of living. This is one reason why an American university has recently set up a place storing historical records for TV commercials that have been used in the past. They will be useful in learning why people really behaved, thought, and acted as they did in the days when these commercials appeared on TV.

    (1).What does advertising sell?

    A、A product or a service

    B、Emotion or ration

    C、Facts or ideas

    D、Impression or prestige.

    (2).What will you feel when looking at the advertisement at which a beauty is looking dreamily?

    A、to be worried

    B、to be relaxed

    C、to be praised and pleased

    D、to be cheated

    (3).Which “make” in the following sentences is the same as the one (underlined) in Para. 2?

    A、My parents always make me do my homework before I go out

    B、With blood pouring from his leg, he made it to a nearby house

    C、It’s one of the most popular makes of satellite phone on the market

    D、None of the above

    (4).Which of the following commodities should use the emotional approach in advertising according to the passage?

    A、delivery truck

    B、car

    C、refrigerator

    D、washing machine

    (5).According to the passage, which of the following statement is NOT true?

    A、Advertising can help us to know how people live in the past

    B、The emotional approach focuses on the customers’ feelings while the rational approach concentrates on the products’ functions

    C、What you buy should make others think highly of you

    D、To some degree, TV commercials can help people make decisions.

    根据内容，回答 下面问题：It’s not easy being a teenager-nor is it easy being the parent of a teenager. You can make your child feel angry, hurt, or misunderstood by what you say without realizing it yourself. It is important to give your child the space he needs to grow while making him realize that you’ll still be there for him when he needs you. Expect a lot from your child, just not everything. Except for health and safety problems, such as drug use or careless driving, consider everything else open to discussion. If your child is unwilling to discuss something, don’t insist he tell you what’s on his mind. The more you insist, the more likely that he’ll clam up. Instead, let him attempt to solve (解决) things by himself. Show respect for your teenager’s privacy (隐私). Never read his mail or listen in on personal conversations. Teach your teenager that the family phone is for the whole family. If your child talks on the family’s telephone for too long, tell him he can talk for 15 minutes, but then he must stay off the phone for at least an equal period of time. This not only frees up the line so that other family members can make and receive calls, but teaches your teenager moderation (节制). Or if you are open to the idea, allow your teenager his own phone that he pays for with his own pocket money or a part-time job.

But according to a study, it is not a person with plenty of leisure but one at work that feels happy, especially those busy with work having little time for leisure. Happiness does not mean gains one is after but a desire to harvest what one is seeking for. People often do not treasure what they already have but desire what they cannot get. That is somewhat like a man with fond dreams of numerous lovers while unwilling to settle down with the woman beside him.
    Happiness is a game balancing between two ends--what one has and what one wishes for, i.e. one′s dream and the possibility to realize it. The study comes to this conclusion: A happy man is one who aims high but never forgets his actual situation; one who meets challenges that develop his ability and potentiality; one who′s proud of his achievements and the recognition given to him. He has self-respect and self-confidence; treasures his own identity and loves freedom. He is sociable and enjoys wide range communication with others; he′s helpful and ready to accept assistance. He knows he is able to bear sufferings and failures; he is sensible enough to get fun from daily work. He is a man capable of love and passion.
    The author mentions "a man indulging in dreams of numerous lovers" in order to _____________.

    A.show the serious problem in marriage in modem society
    B.illustrate an extreme way to achieve happiness
    C.criticize those who do not cherish what they already have
