试题分析:其实世界就是你的一个倒影:如果你是快乐的,世界就是快乐的;如果你是悲伤的,那么世界就是悲伤的了。

1. A.editor“编辑”; B. artist“艺术家;画家”; C. server“侍者”; D. actress“女演员”,根据下文可知来者要求在墙上作画,所以他是为“艺术家,画家”。且该段中最后一句中“So he …the artist to work on one of the walls.”中的artist是直接的信息提示。故正确答案为B.

2.A. put“放;安置”; B. copy“抄袭;模仿”; C. paint“画画”; D. get“获得;变成”,既然是“画家”,所以他显然是请求国王让他在墙上“作画”。故正确答案为C.

3.A. created“创造”; B. destroyed“毁灭”; C. founded“创办,建立”; D. built“建造”,该句句意:“国王刚好‘建了’一个大厅。”该处使用的是使役动词have的符合结构,故用built表示“建造”的被动完成。

4.A. allowed“允许”; B. realized“意识到;实现”; C. persuaded“说服”; D. decided“决定”,该句句意:“于是国王‘允许’这位画家在其中的一面墙上作画。”,故正确答案为A.

5.A. same“相同的”; B. similar“类似的”; C. opposite“对面的;对立的;”;D. ordinary“平凡的,普通的”,根据50空所在句“ Each line was 50 the same as that on the opposite wall.”(每个线条都和对面墙上的一致。)故该空应选C.该句句意:“同时,又来了一位画家,请求在‘对面的’墙上作画。”

6.D. without.

7.A. put up“支起,竖起;张贴”; B. put back“放回原处”; C. put away“收起来,放好;积蓄,攒钱”; D. put on“穿上”,该句句意:“第二位画家请求在两面墙之间‘支起’一个窗帘”,故正确答案为A.

8.A. even if“即使,虽然”; B. so that“以便,为了”; C. as if“仿佛”; D. in case“以防,万一”, 第二位画家请求在两墙之间支起窗帘“目的”就是为了他们彼此看不到。故选择B. so that来引导目的状语从句。

9.A. common“常见的;共同的”; B. artificial“人工的;矫揉造作的”; C.extra“额外的”; D. regular“定期的,有规律的”,从意义上只有选项D. regular能修饰supply. 该句句意:“第一位画家带来了‘定期’供应的涂料、油画颜料、水等等。”,故正确答案为D.

10.A. mirror“镜子”; B. cloth“布”; C. stick“棍;手杖”; D. curtain“窗帘”,根据下文52空所在句"I just 52 the wall with the cloth,"the man said(另一位画家说他仅仅是用布来擦墙。)可知,该空正确答案为B.

11.A. present“现在的;到场的”; B. free“免费的”; C. ready“准备好的”; D. useful“有用的”,根据该空所在句的副词too“也”可知,该句句意:“我的墙壁(的画)也‘准备好了’。”故正确答案为C.

12.A. see“看;看见”; B. touch“触摸”; C. research“研究”; D. cover“覆盖”,该句句意:“国王去‘看’了第一位画家的墙。”故正确答案为A.

13.number of“许多,大量的”+ 复数可数名词;B. a total of“…的总数”;C.a large amount of“许多,大量的”+ 不可数名词;D.many(该处不为代词)故不能与of连用,该句句意:“国王很高兴,给了第一位画家‘一大笔’钱(不可数名词)”,故正确答案为C.

14.A. Amazing“令人吃惊的”; B. Exciting“令人兴奋的”; C. Famous“著名的”; D. Valuable“有价值的”,因为下句“Each line was 50 the same as that on the opposite wall.”(每个线条都和对面墙上的完全一致。),这显然是“让人吃惊的”。故正确答案为A.

15.A. probably“大概,很可能”; B. exactly“确切地,精确地”; C. certainly“确定地;当然”; D. hardly“几乎不”,该句句意:“每个线条都和对面墙上的‘完全’一致。”,故正确答案为B.

16.A. knew“知道,了解”; B. warned“警告”; C. noticed“注意到”; D. wondered“想知道”,该句句意:“国王很‘想知道’第二位画家是如何做到得。”,故正确答案为D.

17.. A. drew“画”; B. faced“面对”; C. displayed“显示”; D. wiped“擦”,该句句意:“我只是用布‘擦’墙而已。”,故正确答案为D.

18.A. briefly“简洁地”; B. naturally“自然而然地”; C. safely“安全地”; D. correctly “正确地”,该处需要一副词来修饰动词said. 根据上句可知,第二位画家只是“简洁地”一语道破。故正确答案为A.

19.A. set up“竖立;建立”; B. added up“合计”; C. showed up“呈现”; D. took up“占据;拿起;开始做…”,根据该处句意:“(将大理石的墙面擦的像一面镜子)第一幅画的倒影就会‘显现’在墙面上。”,故该空正确答案为C.

20.A. story“故事”; B. world“世界”; C. king“国王”; D. painter “画家”,结合本段,其实世界也是你的倒影。如果你悲伤,那么世界也是悲伤的;如果你快乐,那么世界也是快乐的。故正确答案为B.

A young man once went into town and bought himself a pair of trousers. When he got home, he went upstairs to his bedroom and put them on. He found that they were about two inches too long.

He came downstairs, where his mother and his two sisters were washing up tea things in the kitchen. “These new trousers are too long.” He said. “ They need shortening (缩短)by about two inches. Would one of you mind doing this for me, please?” His mother and sisters were busy and none of them said anything.

But as soon as his mother had finished washing up, she went quietly upstairs to her son’s bedroom and shortened the trousers by two inches. She came downstairs without saying anything to her daughters.

As the richest country in the world, you'd expect that Qatar would also be the happiest. And you'd also expect Japanese people to be extremely positive, seeing as though they have the highest life expectancy. But clearly wealth and good health do not guarantee happiness after both countries failed to make the top ten most positive countries.

The poll (民意测验 ) of nearly 150,000 people around the world found that seven of the world's 10 countries with the most upbeat attitudes are in Latin America. Gallup asked about 1,000 people in each of 148 countries if they were well?rested, had been treated with respect, smiled or laughed a lot, learned or did something interesting and felt feelings of enjoyment the previous day.

In Panama and Paraguay, 85 percent of those polled said yes to all five, putting those countries at the top of the list. They were followed closely by El Salvador, Venezuela, Trinidad and Tobago, Thailand, Guatemala, the Philippines, Ecuador and Costa Rica.

The people least likely to report positive emotions lived in Singapore, the wealthy and orderly city?state that ranks among the most developed in the world. Other wealthy countries also sat surprisingly low on the list. Germany and France tied with the poor African state of Somaliland for 47th place.

Many of the seven countries which were most positive do poorly in traditional measures of well?being, like Guatemala, a country torn by decades of civil war followed by waves of gang?driven criminality that give it one of the highest killing rates in the world. Guatemala sits just above Iraq on the United Nations' Human Development Index, a composite of life expectancy, education and per capital income. But it ranks seventh in positive emotions.

In Guatemala, it's a culture of friendly people who are always smiling, said Luz Castillo, a 30?year?old surfing instructor. Despite all the problems that we're facing, we're surrounded by natural beauty that lets us get away from it all.

The poll shows that prosperous nations can also be deeply unhappy ones. And poverty?stricken ones are often positive, or at least a close approximation (类似事物) of it.

1.________ may feel the most unhappy according to the poll.

A.People from Qatar B.People from Thailand

C.People from Japan D.People from Singapore

2.The underlined word “Gallup” in Paragraph 2 refers to ________.

A.a country B.a polling organization

C.a person D.a magazine

3.Which of the following is NOT included in the United Nations' Human Development Index?

A.Life expectancy. B.Education.

C.Natural beauty. D.Per capital income.

4.What's the best title of the text?

A.Happiness does not depend on wealth

B.How to live happily?

C.Health leads to happiness

D.What are the standards to be happy men?
