文章大意：这是一篇记叙文，主要讲述的是一个粗鲁的老年人，整天不快乐，也影响了周围的人的情绪。后来终于明白，他一直寻找快乐却没有得到快乐，现在不找了快乐反而来到身边。从而告诫人们，幸福不必去追求，幸福就在身边。好好地珍惜现在，我们就会快乐！

【1】

句意：整个村子都厌倦了他。

full满的；tired厌倦的，厌烦的；proud自豪的；afraid害怕的。根据上文He was one of the rudest people in the world. 他是世界上最粗鲁的人之一。以及下文he was always unhappy, he was always complaining and was always in a bad mood. 他总是不开心，总是抱怨，总是心情不好。由此可以推知，村子里的人都很厌烦他，故答案选B。

【2】

句意：当人们试图让他高兴起来时，他会不耐烦地把他们赶走。

kindly和蔼地；loudly大声地；importantly重要地；impatiently不耐烦地。根据上文He was one of the rudest people in the world. 他是世界上最粗鲁的人之一。结合后面的turn them away，以及选项，可知是不耐烦地把他们赶走，故答案选D。

【3】

句意：人们都远离他，因为他的坏心情会传染。

ran away逃跑；went away走开；stayed away离开、躲开；looked away转移目光。联系上文语境可知，这位老人很粗鲁无礼，结合后面的his bad mood was contagious. 他的坏心情会传染，可知人们都会远离、躲开他，stay away from“远离、躲开”，固定短语，故答案选C。

【4】

句意：在他周围感觉高兴点甚至是不寻常和不礼貌的。

happily幸福地、快乐地，副词；happy高兴的，形容词；sadly伤心地，副词；sad悲伤的，形容词。根据上文提到，这位老人的坏心情会传染，因此可知在他周围感觉高兴点甚至是不寻常和不礼貌的，设空处修饰前面的感官动词feel，所以应用形容词作表语，故答案选B。

【5】

句意：但是有一天，在他80岁的那一天，不可思议的事情发生了。

But但是；And和、而且；Unless除非；Though虽然、尽管。联系上文可知这位老人整天不快乐，而且他的坏情绪传染给村里的其他人也感到不快乐；结合下文one day--the day he turned 80 years old, in fact--unbelievable thing happened. 有一天，在他80岁的那一天，不可思议的事情发生了。可知，情况发生了变化，上下文之间表示的是转折关系，所以用but连接，故答案选A。

【6】

句意：村民们互相说:“这位老人今天很快乐。……”

by被、通过；against反对；among（群体内部）相互间；through穿过。根据上文在他80岁的那一天，不可思议的事情发生了。结合The villagers said __6__ themselves,可知，在老人身上发生了不可思议的事情，所以村民们应是在相互告知，故答案选C。

【7】

句意：他没有抱怨任何事情，他微笑着，他的脸看起来很慈祥。

crying哭泣；smiling微笑；shouting呼喊；coughing咳嗽。根据下文his face looks kind.他的脸看起来很慈祥，结合选项，可知这位老人是面带微笑，故答案选B。

【8】

句意：一个村民问老人:“你怎么了?”

villagers村民；pioneers开拓者；customers顾客、客户；passengers旅客、乘客。根据上文The whole village went to see the old man. 全村的人都去看望这位老人。可知是其中的一位村民问老人，故答案选A。

【9】

句意：80年来我一直在寻找幸福，但都没有用。

looking up仰望、查阅；looking at看；looking out小心；looking for寻找。根据下文And then I decided to live without happiness然后我决定过没有幸福的生活，结合For 80 years I’ve been __9__ happiness, and it was no use.以及选项，可知是80年来这位老人一直在寻找幸福，但都没有用。所以选择决定放弃寻找，故答案选D。

【10】

I was a little unhappy, though not very surprised. Because it was not the first time that my father was absent. As a manager in a big telecommunications(电信) company, my father was very busy with his work all year around. In fact, I didn’t have much time with him. Every time when I complained about it, my father always said, “Everyone has his duty(责任), and I have mine.”

Later, I had a chance to visit father’s company. He pointed to a big iron tower and said, “Son, that is a base station. Do you know that about 25 percent of the calls in our country are through the network we built?” “Wow!” “But it’s hard work. You know, China started late in many ways. We have to work hard and sometimes even give up time with family.”

Now, more and more people are amazed at the Chinese miracle(奇迹). If any foreign friend asks me what makes the Chinese miracle, I want to tell that behind the miracle there is always a story like my father’s.

【题目】 Both native English speakers and non-native speakers find the spelling of English is the most difficult. The English spelling system is not based on a phonetic （语音） link between sounds and letters, as is the spelling of Spanish and some other languages. Instead, English spelling is affected by the historical development of the language. Some words are pronounced in several different ways； similarly, different combinations （结合）of letters can produce the same pronunciation.

The link between sound and spelling in English is not phonetically exact for two main reasons. First, spelling changes did not keep pace with changes in the sound system after the development of printing and of conventions （惯例）for spelling. For example, the k in knife and the gh in right come from the Middle English period (from about 1100 to about 1500) , when they were pronounced as separate sounds. Second, there are some spelling conventions that are based on other languages. For example, during the 16th century the "b" was put into the word doubt. This reflected the Latin word, dubitare, even though the "b” was not pronounced in English.

Two further influences contributed to the illogical system of spelling. When books began to be printed in England, the newly invented spelling system was undermined （逐渐削弱）because nearly all the early London printers were foreign. They were usually paid by the line and often put additional letters into words to earn more. They regularly also added extra letters to the last word of a line to make the whole text look neater. Many of their spelling errors eventually became accepted English spellings.

There have been many attempts （试图，尝试）to reform English spelling. The author and playwright George Bernard Shaw suggested a completely new alphabet, but this had very limited success. American English has developed some of its own spelling conventions, largely as a result of the work of spelling reformer Noah Webster. Webster attempted to get rid of some of the irregularities from the English spelling system and distance American English from British English. Nevertheless, the system as a whole remains particularly complex, and English is widely regarded as having the worst spelling of any language in the world.

【1】What is the most difficult for native English speakers and non-native speakers?

【2】Why isn't the link between sound and spelling in English phonetically exact?

【3】Did the printers often put additional letters into words to get more money?

【4】What did Noah Webster do to reform English spelling?

【5】What is the passage mainly about?

【题目】Before you buy something new, think whether it is really________ because maybe the old one is just as good.

A.necessaryB.patientC.nervousD.crowded
