It is a hot summer day,and you feel thirsty. A friend gives you a glass of cold lemonade. How do you feel when you see the glass? Will you describe your feeling as happiness or as pleasure? I believe you will say it is a feeling of pleasure. There is a connection between these two kinds of feelings and sometimes one causes the other,but they are not the same. Pleasure is more dependent on the five senses while happiness is independent of them.

When you are happy, little unpleasant events usually do not disturb you. When you are unhappy, you feel as iP everything is against you. You may compensate for it by eating chocolates and sweets because this gives you pleasure, yet you stay unhappy. A person may smoke cigarettes because it gives him pleasure, yet this does not make him happier4 especially if he knows the fact that it is not good for his health.

The physical world is always in a changing state. At each moment a new thing is being created, changed, transformed and then destroyed. This Ls the normal state of things and no one can change it. If we stay still in a cer?tain state, we are sure to experience unhappiness sooner or later. On the other hand, if we adjust to the environment, nothing can influence our moods. Then outer events have nothing to do with our inner joy of mind.

The room of the mind is filled with worry or fear. If you are free of thinking about them, the room has been emptied,and then you will see what is happening and experience it. When your mind stays quiet, you will see that happiness comes from the inside.

12.  What does the underlined phrase "compensate for" in Paragraph 2 most probably mean?

  A.  To make a suitable payment for.

B.  To let out your anger for.

C.  To provide with a balancing effect for.

D.  To solve the problems for.

13.  According to the passage, in which of the following situations can you feel happy?

  A.  A friend gives you a glass of cold lemonade when you feel thirsty.

B.  You eat chocolates and sweets when you feel as if everything is against you.

C.  Smoke cigarettes even though you knew the fact that it is not good for your health.

D.  You are free from worry or fear when your mind stays quiet.

14.  We can learn from the passage______ .

  A.  happiness is more dependent on the five senses

B.  pleasure sometimes arouses happiness

C.  you feel happy when nothing around you changes in a certain state

D.  you feel unhappy because you have to adjust to the environment

15.  Which can be the best title for the passage?

A. Pleasure leads to happiness    B.  Happiness changes us

C..Happiness is within us       D.  Stay a quiet mind

A

The search for life in the universe took a step forwards last month with the opening of the Allen Telescope Array(艾伦望远镜阵歹!]) in Hat Creek, California. The telescopes were partly made possible by a gift of twenty-five million dollars from Paul Allen. The total cost of the project is already fifty million dollars.

At present, there are 42 radio telescopes working at the Hat Creek ob?servatory. The signals they receive are combined to create what is equal to a single, very large telescope. The telescope will be used to observe objects like exploding stars, black holes and other objects that are predicted but have not yet been observed. Seth Shostak of the SETI Institute says this is the first telescope whose main purpose is to search for signals from intelli?gent life in space. The SETI Institute is based in Mountain View, Califor?nia. The organization supports the search for other life forms in the uni-verse.

What makes the Allen Telescope Array unusual is that it can collect and study information from a wide area of the sky. In addition, the 42 tele?scopes can study information about several projects at the same time. That means studies of large areas of the sky can be made faster than ever before.

Some officials think the Allen Telescope Array will be completed in three more years. 350 individual radio telescopes are planned. The new abil?ities of the Allen Telescope Array will make searching for stars similar to the sun much faster.

An earlier search by SETI, Project Phoenix, studied about 800 stars to a distance of 240 light years. The project ended in 2004. With the Allen Telescope Array, astronomers hope to gather thousands of times more in?formation in the search for life beyond our planet.

1. The main purpose of the Allen Telescope Array is_____ .

  A.  to serve for the research of weather predication

B.  to prepare for the wars against life from the universe

C.  to search for signals from intelligent life in space

D.  to observe exploding stars, black holes and other objects

2. From this passage we know that_______ .

  A.  the 42 radio telescopes at Hat Creek observatory can work together

B.  the total cost of the project came from Paul Allen

C.  Hat Creek observatory can receive signals from all parts of the world

D.  Hat Creek observatory is operated by an American named Paul Allen

3. Which of the following is TRUE according to this passage?

  A.  The Allen Telescope Array takes much more room than former telescopes.

B.  The Allen Telescope Array is still being built at present in the United States.

C.  Another 42 radio telescopes will be fixed in the Allen Telescope Array.

D.  The SETI Institute is against the search for other life forms in the universe.

4. With the help of the Allen Telescope Array, ____ .

  A.  astronomers can gather more information than before from other planets

B.  humans will have more chances to live on other planets than before

C.  humans will be able to find more natural resources on other planets

D.  scientists will be able to find more natural resources from other planets

Dr Julie Coulton, a British psychologist,focuses her research on the ex?traordinary function of the play in the physical and spiritual development of children and Martti Bergson from the University of Helsinki shows that pla?ying outside, in the open air, contributes to a better development of the brain.

Thus parents must encourage their children to spend as much time as possible in the open air, and at the same time, to ask schools and kindergar?tens to assure the small playground outside. Recent statistics (数据)and studies show an alarming increase of the number of hours spent by children in front of the TV and the computer and a decrease of the time spent out?side.

As a consequence more and more children suffer from eye problems and have to wear glasses. Also the problem of fatness among children concerns many parents who don't know what to do to make their children eat healthy and balanced.

Children need a space where to develop their creativity and parents should encourage them all the time. Too many rules hold back the children's personality and creativity and prevent them developing the desire to know, to find out, to learn.

If you tell your child so many times : " Don't do that, don't mess the room, don't go there... ,,, he will lose the desire to do something, even any?thing. Parents must watch their children without suffocating(窒息)them. Should you consider they mustn't do that or this, you have to logically ex?plain them your reasons and they will understand.

Through playing a child learns how to communicate, how to take deci?sions. Playing is connected to the intellectual, emotional and social progress of the child. Playing lets your children learn how to express their feelings.

9. What is worrying the scientists is that    . •

A.  most parents pay no attention to their children's playing

B.  most schools and kindergartens have no playgrounds

C.  most parents encourage their children to watch TV or go surfing

D.  most children spend more time on TV or the Internet than on playing outside

 10.  Children who watch TV or surf the Internet too much may suffer all the

following EXCEPT_________ .

A. eye problems                  B. weight problems

C. lack of creativity            D. lack of interest in their lessons

11.  The author advises, us_____ .

  A.  to allow children to do whatever we want them to do

B.  never to forbid children to do anything they want to do

C.  to explain why when you don't let children do something

D.  to watch children playing anytime to ensure their safety

12.  Which would be the best title for this passage? ^C3f

  A.  How to develop the brain of your children better

B.  Playing is good for your children in many aspects

C.  Teaching your children what and how to play

D.  Don't forbid your children to do anything

A

I took the bus to work for many years. No one knew each other; the passengers all sat there sleepily in the morning. The bus was cheerless and silent.

One of the passengers was a small gray-haired man who took the bus to the centre for senior citizens every morning. No one ever paid very much at?tention to him.

One July morning he said good morning to the driver and smiled. The driver nodded guardedly(谨慎地).The rest of us were silent.

The next day, the old man boarded with a big smile and said in a loud voice: "A very good morning to you all!" Some of us looked up, amazed, and murmured "Good morning. ,, in reply.

The following weeks, our friend was dressed in a nice old suit and tie. His thin hair had been carefully combed. He said good morning to us every day and we gradually began to nod and talk to each other.

One morning he even had a bunch of wild flowers in his hand. The driver turned around smilingly and asked : " Have you got yourself a girl?friend, Charlie?" We never got to know if his name really was "Charlie", but he nodded shyly and said yes. The other passengers whistled and clapped at him. Charlie waved the flowers before he sat down on his seat.

Every morning after that Charlie always brought flowers. Some pas?sengers also brought flowers for him. The bus became a happy place.

Then, one morning, as autumn was closing in, Charlie wasn't waiting at his usual stop. When he wasn't there the next day and the day after that. we started wondering if he was sick or―hopefully―on holiday somewhere.

When we came nearer to the centre for senior citizens, one of the pas?sengers asked the driver to wait. We all held our breaths when he went to the door.

The old gentle man was fine, but one of his close friends had died over the weekend. How silent we were the rest of the way to work.

The next Monday Charlie was waiting at the stop, stooping (弯腰)a bit more, a little bit more gray, and without a tie. Inside the bus was si?lent. Even though no one had talked about it, all of us sat there silently, our eyes filled with tears and a bunch of wild flowers in our hands.

1.  From the passage, we can infer that______ .

  A.  people always cared about each other on the bus

B.  people were unhappy and sleepy on the bus because they were tired

C.  smiles can shorten the distance between people

D.  people are not good at communicating in the country

C.  He got sick over the weekend.

D.  He was in great sorrow when we saw him the next Monday.

 3.  Which of the following is NOT true?

 A.  The atmosphere on the bus was cheerful and lively at first.

B.  People were surprised at the old man's first greeting.

D.  The key to friendship—communication

 If you ask people to name the one person who had the greatest effect on the English lan?guage ,you will get answers like ilShakespeare" "Samuel Johnson" and "Webster", but none of these men had any effect at all compared to a man who didn't even speak English―William the Conqueror.

  Before 1066 ,in the land we now call Great Britain lived people belonging to two major language groups. In the west-central region were the Welsh, who spoke a Celtic language, and in the north lived the Scots, whose language, thought not the same as Welsh, was also Celtic. In the rest of the country lived the Saxons, actually a mixture of Anglos, Saxons, and other Germanic and Nordic peoples, who spoke what we now call Anglo-Saxon (or Old English) ,a Germanic language. If this state of affairs had lasted, English today would be close to German.

  But this state of affairs did not last. In 1066 the Normans led by William defeated the Sax?ons and began their rule over England. For about a century, French became the official language of England while Old English became the language of peasants. As a result, English words of politics and the law come from French rather than German. In some cases, modern English even shows a distinction(区别) between upper-class French and lower-class Anglo-Saxon in its words. We even have different words for some foods, meat in particular, depending on whether it is still out in the fields or at home ready to be cooked,which shows the fact that the Saxon peasants were doing farming,while the upper-class Normans were doing most of the eating.

  When Americans visit Europe for the first time,they usually find Germany more "foreign" than France because the German they see on signs and advertisements seems much more different from English than French does. Few realize that the English language is actually Germanic in its beginning and that the French influences are all the result of one man's ambition.
(   ) 5. The two major languages spoken in what is now called Great Britain before 1066 were      

A. Welsh and Scottish    B. Nordic and Germanic

C. Celtic and Old English    D. Anglo-Saxon and Germanic

(   ) 6. Which of the following groups of words are,by inference, rooted in French?

A. President, lawyer, beef. B. President, bread, water.

C. Beard,field,sheep. D. Folk,field, cow.

(   ) 7. Why does France appear less foreign than Germany to Americans on their first visit to Europe?

A.     Most advertisements in France appear in English.

B.     They know little of the history of the English language.

C.     Many French words are similar to English ones.

D.     They know French better than German.

(   ) 8. What may be the best title of the passage, according to what you have read?

A. The History of Great Britain

B.     The Similarity between English and French

C.     The Rule of England by William the Conqueror

D.     The French Influences on the English Language
