1. The way people hold to the belief that a fun-filled, pain-free life equals happiness actually reduces their chances of ever attaining real happiness. If fun and pleasure are equal to happiness, then pain must be equal to unhappiness. But in fact, the opposite is true: more often than not, things that lead to happiness involve some pain.
As a result, many people avoid the very attempts that are the source of true happiness. They fear the pain brought by such things as marriage, raising children, professional achievements, religious commitment, and self-improvement.
Ask a bachelor (单身汉) why he resists marriage even though he finds dating to be less and less satisfying. If he is honest, he will tell you that he is afraid of making a commitment(承担义务), for commitment is in fact quite painful. The single life is filled with fun, adventure and excitement. Marriage has such moments, but they are not its most distinguishing(独特的)features.
Couples with infant children are lucky to get a whole night’s sleep or a three-day vacation. I don’t know any parent who would choose the word fun to describe raising children. But couples who decide not to have children never know the joys of watching a child grow up or of playing with a grandchild.
Understanding and accepting that true happiness has nothing to do with fun is one of the most liberating realizations. It liberates time: now we can devote more hours to the activities that can genuinely increase our happiness. It liberates money: buying that new car or those fancy clothes that will do nothing to increase our happiness now seems pointless. And it liberates us from envy: we now understand that all those who are always having so much fun actually may not be happy at all.
1).According to the author, a bachelor resists marriage chiefly because _______.
A. he is unwilling to take on family responsibilities
B. he believes that life will be more cheerful if he remains single
C. he finds more fun in dating than in marriage
D. he fears it will put an end to all his fun and excitement
满分：3分
2).Raising children, in the author’s opinion, is ______.
A. a moral duty
B. a thankless job
C. a rewarding task
D. a source of pain
满分：3分
3).From the last paragraph, we learn that envy sometimes comes from ______.
A. hatred
B. misunderstanding
C. pride
D. carelessness
满分：3分
4).To understand what true happiness is, one must ______.
A. have as much fun as possible during his lifetime
B. make every effort to free oneself from pain
C. put up with pain under any conditions
D. tell the difference between happiness from fun
满分：3分
5).What is the author trying to tell us
A. Happiness often goes hand in hand with pain.
B. One must know how to gain happiness.
C. It is important to make commitment.
D. It is pain that leads to happiness.

2.One silly question I simply can't stand is "How do you feel". Usually the question is asked of a man in action--a man on the go, walking along the street, or busily working at his desk. So what do you expect him to say He'll probably say, "Fine, I'm all right." But "you've put a bug in his ear" — maybe now he's not sure. If you are a good friend, you may have seen something in his face, or his walk, that he did not realize that morning. It starts him worrying a little. First thing you know, he looks in a mirror to sec if everything is all right, while you go merrily on your way asking someone else, "How do you feel"
Every question has its time and place. It's perfectly acceptable, for instance, to ask "How do you feel" if you're visiting a close friend in the hospital. But if the fellow is walking on both legs, hurrying to make a train, or sitting at his desk working, it's no time to ask him that silly question.
When George Bernard Shaw, the famous writer of plays was in his eighties, someone asked him "How do you feel", Shaw put him in his place. "When you reach my age", he said, "either you feel all right or you're dead."
1).According to the writer, greetings, such as "How do you feel" _________ .
A. show one's consideration for others
B. are a good way to make friends
C. are proper to ask a man in action
D. generally make one feel uneasy
满分：3分
2).The question "How do you feel" seems to be correct and suitable when asked of ________ .
A. a man working at his desk
B. a person having lost a close friend
C. a stranger who looks somewhat worried
D. a friend who is ill
满分：3分
3).The writer seems to feel that a busy man should _________ .
A. be praised for his efforts
B. never be asked any question
C. not be bothered
D. be discouraged from working so hard
满分：3分
4).George Bernard Shaw's reply in the passage shows his ________ .
A. cheerfulness
B. cleverness
C. ability
D. politeness
满分：3分
5)."You've put a bug in his ear "means that you've _________ .
A. made him laugh
B. shown concern for him
C. made fun of him
D. given him some kind of warning

四、简答题（共5道试题，共35分。）
1.根据下面所给题目写出一篇不少于80词的短文。
Can Money Buy Happiness
写作范文:
Can money buy happiness The answer varies among people. Some believe that money is the source of happiness, because money provides food for the hungry, medicine for the sick, and clothes for the needy. While others hold that money is the root of all evils, because it is money that drives a person to lie, cheat, and, worst of all, to murder.
In my opinion, money is essential to being well-off, but not necessarily to well-being. Happiness is a state of mind, not something that can be bought. All in all, happiness is less a matter of buying what we want than of wanting what we have.
2.Visitors to Britain may find the best place to learn about the local culture is in a traditional pub.
去英国观光的游客会发现传统的酒吧是了解当地文化的最佳去处。

Failures are resources for children to learn valuable lessons.

试卷总分：100 测试时间：--
一、阅读理解（共4道试题，共40分。）
1.For any Englishman, there can never be any discussion as to who is the world’s greatest dramatist (剧作家). Only one name can possibly suggest itself to him: that of William Shakespeare. Every Englishman has some knowledge, however slight, of the work of our greatest writer. All of us use words, phrases and quotations from Shakespeare’s writings that have become part of the common property of the English-speaking people. Most of the time we are probably unaware of the source of the words we used, rather like the old lady who was taken to see a performance of Hamlet and complained that it was full of well-known proverbs and quotations.
Shakespeare, more perhaps than any other writer, makes full use of the great resources of the English language. Most of us use about five thousand words in our normal use of English; Shakespeare in his works used about twenty-five thousand.
There is probably no better way for a foreigner to appreciate the richness and variety of the English language than by studying the various ways in which Shakespeare used it. Such a study is well worth the effort (it is not, of course, recommended to beginners) even though some aspects of English usage, and the meaning of many words, have changed since Shakespeare’s day.
1).English people _______.
A. have never discussed who is the world’s greatest dramatist
B. never discuss any issue concerning the world’s greatest dramatist
C. are sure who is the world’s greatest dramatist
D. do not care who is the world’s greatest poet and dramatist
满分：2分
2).Every Englishman knows _______.
A. more or less about Shakespeare

满分：2分
3).Which of the following is true
A. We use all the words, phrases and quotations from Shakespeare’s writings.
B. Shakespeare’s writings have become the property of those who are learning to speak English.
C. It is likely to be true that people often do not know the origins of the words they use
D. All the words people use are taken from the writings of Shakespeare.
满分：2分
4).What does the word “proverb” mean

A. English words have changed a lot since Shakespeare’s time.
B. By doing so one can be fully aware of the richness of the English language.
C. English words are now being used in the same way as in Shakespeare’s time.
D. Beginners may have difficulty learning some aspects of English usage.

3.Soldiers and other military people wear uniforms with various other symbols to indicate their status. But in the business world everyone wears more or less similar suits, and you cannot tell at a glance who ranks higher or lower than another. So how do people in the business world show their superiority
An attempt to study this was made by two researchers using a series of silent films. They had two actors play the parts of an executive (经理) and a visitor, and switch roles each time. The scene had one man at his desk playing the part of an executive, while the other, playing the part of a visitor, knocks at the door, opens it and approaches the desk to discuss some business matter. The audience watching the films was asked to rate the executive and the visitor in terms of status. A certain set of rules about status began to emerge from the ratings. The visitor showed the least amount of status when he stopped just inside the door to talk across the room to the seated man. He was considered to have more status when he walked halfway up to the desk, and he had the most status when he walked directly up to the desk and stood right in front of the seated executive.
Another thing that affected the status of the visitor in the eyes of the observers was the time between knocking and entering. For the seated executive, his status was also affected by the time between hearing the knock and answering. The quicker the visitor entered the room, the more status he had. The longer the executive took to answer, the more status he had.
1).The experiment designed by the two researchers aimed at finding out ________ .
A. how business is conducted by an executive and a visitor
B. how to tell the differences between an executive and a visitor
C. how to tell businessmen at a glance
D. how businessmen indicate status
满分：2分
2).Which of the statements can best sum up the passage
A. The executive has a higher status than the visitor.
B. Military people wear uniforms but the businessmen do not.
C. A study revealing a set of rules about the status of businessmen.
D. It is a good method to use a series of silent film in research.
满分：2分
3).Having entered the room, the closer the visitor approaches the executive, _________ .
A. the less it affected his status
B. the lower his status
C. the more it affected his status
D. the higher his status
满分：2分
4).The longer the seated man was in answering the knock, _________ .
A. the higher his status
B. the less it affected his status
C. the lower his status
D. the more it affected his status
满分：2分
5).Which statement is NOT true
A. Soldiers wear uniforms with various symbols so that one can tell their status at a glance.
B. In the experiment, one actor played the executive while the other played the seated man.
C. Business people wear similar suits.
D. The audience watching the film rated the executive and the visitor in terms of status.
满分：2分
4.Believe it or not, optical illusion (错觉)can cut highway crashes.
Japan is a case in point. It has reduced automobile crashes on some roads by nearly 75 percent using a simple optical illusion. Bent stripes, called chevrons (人字形), painted on the roads make drivers think that they are driving faster than they really are, and thus drivers slow down.
Now the American Automobile Association Foundation for Traffic Safety in Washington D.C. is planning to repeat Japan’s success. Starting next year, the foundation will paint chevrons and other patterns of stripes on selected roads around the country to test how well the patterns reduce highway crashes.
Excessive speed plays a major role in as much as one fifth of all fatal traffic accidents, according to the foundation. To help reduce those accidents, the foundation will conduct its tests in areas where speed-related hazards are the greatest---curves, exit slopes, traffic circles, and bridges.
Some studies suggest that straight, horizontal bars painted across roads can initially cut the average speed of drivers in half. However, traffic often returns to full speed within months as drivers become used to seeing the painted bars.
Chevrons, scientists say, not only give drivers the impression that they are driving faster than they really are but also make a lane appear to be narrower. The result is a longer lasting reduction in highway speed and the number of traffic accidents.
1).The passage mainly discusses __________.
A. a new way of highway speed control
B. a new pattern for painting highways
C. a new approach to training drivers
D. a new type of optical illusion
满分：2分
2).On roads painted with chevrons, drivers tend to feel that __________.
A. they should avoid speed-related hazards
B. they are driving in the wrong lane
C. they should slow down their speed
D. they are approaching the speed limit
满分：2分
3).The advantage of chevrons over straight, horizontal bars is that the former ___________.
A. can keep drivers awake
B. can cut road accidents in half
C. will have a longer effect on drivers
D. will look more attractive
满分：2分
4).The American Automobile Association Foundation for Traffic Safety Plans to __________.
A. try out the Japanese method in certain areas
B. change the road signs across the country
C. replace straight, horizontal bars with chevrons
D. repeat the Japanese road patterns
满分：2分
5).What does the author say about straight, horizontal bars painted across roads
A. They are falling out of use in the United States
B. They tend to be ignored by drivers in a short period of time.
C. They are applicable only on broad roads.
D. They cannot be applied successfully to traffic circles.
