　　There are two types of people in the world. Although they have equal degree of health and wealth and other comforts of life, one becomes happy, the other becomes unhappy. This arises from the different ways in which they consider things, persons, events and the resulting effects upon their minds.

　　People who are to be happy fix their attention on the convenience of things. The pleasant parts of conversation, the well prepared dishes, the goodness of the wine, the fine weather. They enjoy all the cheerful things. Those who are to be unhappy think and speak only of the opposite things. Therefore, they are continually dissatisfied. By their remarks, they sour the pleasure of society, offend （hurt）many people, and make themselves disagreeable everywhere. If this turn of mind was founded in nature, such unhappy persons would be the more to be pitied. The intention of criticizing （批评）and being disliked is perhaps taken up by imitation（模仿）. It grows into a habit, unknown to its possessors. The habit may be strong , but it may be cured when those who have it realize its bad effects on their interests and tastes. I hope this little warning may be of service to them, and help them change this habit.

　　Although in fact it is chiefly an act of the imagination, it has serious results in life since it brings on deep sorrow and bad luck. Those people offend many others; nobody loves them, and no one treats them with more than the most common politeness and respect. This frequently puts them in bad temper and draws them into arguments. If they aim at getting some advantages in social position or fortune, nobody wishes them success. Nor will anyone start a step or speak a word to favor their hopes. If they bring on themselves public objections, no one will defend or excuse them, and many will join to criticize their wrongdoings. These should change this bad habit and be pleased with what is pleasing, without worrying needlessly about themselves and others. If they do not, it will be good for others to avoid any contact （接触）with them. Otherwise, it can be disagreeable and sometimes very inconvenient, especially when one becomes mixed up in their quarrels.

　48．“The phrase“sour the pleasure of society” most nearly means________.

　　A. have a good taste with social life    B. make others unhappy

　　C. tend to scold others openly        D. enjoy the pleasure of life

　49．We can conclude from the passage that________.

　　A. we should pity all such unhappy people

　　B. such unhappy people are dangerous to social life

　　C. people can get rid of the habit of unhappiness

　　D. unhappy people can not understand happy persons

　50．If such unhappy persons insist on keeping the habit , the author suggests that people should ________.

　　A. prevent any communication with them

　　B. show no respect and politeness to them

　　C. persuade them to recognize the bad effects

　　D. quarrel with them until they realize the mistakes

　51．In this passage, the writer mainly________.

　　A. describes two types of people         B. laughs at the unhappy people

　　C. suggests ways to help them unhappy    D. tells people how to be happy in life

Pupils are ordered not to wade into ankle-deep water unless teachers first carry out a full risk assessment and put“proper measures in place”.

Staff are expected to check rivers, ponds and the sea for currents and rocks before allowing children to dip their feet.

Guidance issued to schools warns that any“impromptu (事先无准备的) water-based activities”could pose dangers to children.

The recommendations were outlined in a document-available to all 21,000 schools in England — to help teachers organize more school trips. Advice from the Department for Children, Schools and Families is intended to cut red tape (官样文章) and give staff practical tips.

But the guidance caused argument after teachers were presented with a series of orders surrounding swimming and the use of minibuses.

It said:“Swimming and padding or otherwise entering the waters of river, canal, sea or lake should never be allowed as an impromptu activity. The pleas of young people to bathe — because it is hot weather, for example, should be resisted where bathing has not been prepared for.”

“In-water activities should take place only when a proper risk assessment has been completed and proper measures put in place to control the risks.”

Teachers are urged to check the weather, currents, weeds, rip tides, river or sea beds and breakwaters before allowing children into the water. No child should be able to swim deeper than waist height, the guidance added.

Margaret Morrissey, from campaign group Parents Outloud, said:“Wading out into the ocean is one thing but there’s nothing wrong with padding where the waves break.”

“Part of children’s learning is to walk along the water’s edge and get your feet wet. There are dangerous currents further out and you stay at the edge.”

She added:“I want to see schools and youth groups taking advantage of opportunities that learning outside the classroom can provide.”

But the Department for Children, Schools and Families said teachers had to plan activities carefully.

“We are not banning padding,”said a spokeswoman.“We have seen cases in the past where things have not been planned and assessed for the risk. Unplanned activities around water can be dangerous.”

67．Guidance issued to schools in England gives the information that _________.

       A．school trips to oceans are forbidden in the country

       B．school swimming pools should be surrounded with fence

       C．school staff must plan water-based activities carefully

       D．school children shouldn’t have a walk along river banks

68．Advice from the Department for Children, Schools and Families shows us that _________.

       A．they are strongly against the guidance

       B．they are fond of the outline of the guidance

       C．they don’t understand the aim of the guidance

       D．they want the guidance to become more useful

69．To the guidance, Margaret Morrissey holds the opinion that _________.

       A．oceans are dangerous place for children to visit

       B．young people should be encouraged to learn outside

       C．children should learn padding in rough ocean alone

       D．schools should stop students from walking along beaches

70．Which of the following can be the best title for this passage?

       A．No padding on school trips, children told.           

       B．No walking along the rivers, teachers told.

       C．No swimming after school, parents told.

       D．No learning out of school, students told.

What is a Boy?

Between the innocence of babyhood and the seriousness of manhood we find a delightful creature called a “boy”. Boys come in different sizes, weights, and colors, but all boys have the same belief: to enjoy every second of every minute of every hour of every day and to fill the air with noise until the adult males pack them off to bed at night.

     Boys are found everywhere--- on top of, under, inside of, climbing on, swinging from, running around, or jumping to this and that! Mothers spoil them, little girls hate them, older sisters and brothers love them, and God protects them. A boy is TRUTH with dirt on its face, BEAUYTY with a cut on its finger, WISDOM with chocolate in its hair, and HOPE of the future with a snake in its pocket.

     When you are busy, a boy is a trouble-maker and a noise. When you want him to make a good impression, his brain turns to jelly or else he becomes a wild creature bent on destroying the world and himself with it.

     A boy is a mixture--- he has the stomach of a horse, the digestion of stones and sand, the energy of an atomic bomb, the curiosity of a cat, the imagination of a superman, the shyness of a sweet girl, the brave nature of a bull, the violence of a firecracker, but when you ask him to make something, he has five thumbs on each hand.

     He likes ice cream, knives, saws, Christmas, comic books, woods, water (in its natural habitat), large animals, Dad, trains, Saturday mornings, and fire engines. He is not much for Sunday schools, company, schools, books without pictures, music lessons, neckties, barbers, girls, overcoats, adults, or bedtime.

Nobody else is so early to rise, or so late to supper. Nobody else gets so much fun out of trees, dogs, and breezes. Nobody else can put into one pocket a rusty knife, a half eaten apple, a three-foot rope, six cents and some unknown things.

A boy is a magical creature---he is your headache but when you come home at night with only shattered pieces of your hopes and dreams, he can mend them like new with two magic word, “Hi, Dad!”

BEIJING, March 1 (Xinhua)-China's top economic planning body has confirmed the government will take concrete actions to develop a low-carbon economy after it promised to considerably reduce carbon emission (排放) at  last year's Copenhagen Climate Conference.

China would include the low-carbon targets in the 12th five-year plan for national economic development (2011-2015) to build an energy-saving, ecologically friendly society, the National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) said in a report to the Standing Committee of the 11th National People's Congress (NPC).

The report said the government would launch a series of technological and financial support policies to promote the use of non-fossil, renewable energies including wind, solar, biomass, geothermal (地热) and nuclear power, aiming to increase its percentage of primary energy consumption to about 15 percent by 2020 from 9.9 percent at the end of last year.

China's installed wind power capacity (容量) reached 15 million kilowatts, with 10 million kilowatts under construction at the end of June 2009, while nuclear power under construction, installed hydro-electric power capacity and solar heating collection areas were the highest in the world, it said.

The commission was also planning to make a catalog (目录) of emissions of greenhouse gases in an effort to build a monitoring and checking system to cut carbon emissions.

The economic planner decided to control unnecessary construction and industries with surplus (多余的)production capacities, such as steel, cement and electrolytic aluminum, to promote the energy efficiency and environmental protection.

The government had drafted a plan on regional development to transfer industries in eastern areas to central and western regions.

The State Council announced in November that China would reduce the intensity of carbon dioxide emissions per unit of GDP in 2020 by 40 to 45 percent compared with the level of 2005.

67.Which of the following best summarizes the low-carbon economy China is to develop?

A.Energy-saving and ecologically friendly.

B.Promoting the use of clean energy.

C.Developing the industry in the wild west.

D.Reducing carbon emissions per unit of GDP by 40 to 50 percent.

68.Which of the following does NOT belong to China's low-carbon measures mentioned in the text?

A.Limiting the use of nuclear power and other primary energy.

B.Setting up a system to monitor and check carbon emission.

C.Controlling unnecessary construction and industries with extra production capacities.

D.Planning to move industries from eastern areas to central and western regions.

69.If you are planning to start your own business in line with the low-carbon economy, which is the best choice?

A. An iron and steel plant.     B. A petrochemical works.

C. A solar heating company.  D. A construction company.

70.The passage is mainly about     .

A. China's plan of economy development in the 12th five-year plan

B. China's efforts to build up a low-carbon economy

C. NDRC's reaction to Copenhagen Climate Conference

D. NDRC's plan handed over to the Standing committee of 11th NPC

第三部分 阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分）

    阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

Looking back at my school yearbooks of the 1970s, 80s, and 90s, I find the style of uniform says a lot about the students and the character of the times. In the 1970s, students accessorized (配饰) their uniforms with platform shoes. During the 80s, hair was huge—literally. Students’ goofy hair filled up nearly every shot in the yearbook. In the 90s, accessories were all the rage (流行).

Uniform rules have always been strict. The restrictions (限制) are down to the inch: Gray or plaid skirts must be no shorter than two inches above the knee; a red, green, navy or white polo must be worn at all times; and only white, blue, black, and gray sneakers or flats are allowed. With all these rules, one can’t help but wonder how the typical rebellious (叛逆的) teenager can express her individuality.

Still, they manage. Senior Michelle Ferrier says she accessorizes by wearing bright colors like green and pink in bracelets, shoe laces, and headbands to stand out and be fashionable. For any stylish (时尚的) Carondelet student, accessories are key.

At Carondelet, one thing’s for sure: The older a student gets, the more she’s willing to bend the rules. Senior Natalia Piwek admits that she often pairs her “tights and colorful socks” with “illegal shoes”. If you happen to see a girl with colorful tights or boots running across the hallway, it’s most likely that she’s running from a dean.

In about two months, I will say goodbye to my uniform. I will miss the convenience of wearing it. However, I must say, wearing a uniform has taught me an important lesson that I will take with me when I go off to college: it doesn’t matter what you wear, but how you wear it. And how you carry yourself.

 If  you are  interested  in  becoming  a  registered  nurse，  you  are  most likely  aware that there are certain qualifications to become one．

 Knowing the educational requirements to  be  a registered nurse  is the first step you   will  need  to take  in  your journey to  become  a  RN．  You will  need to  complete  a prescribed program  of study．The  education that the promising  registered  nurse  chooses  will depend on if he or she is interested in getting further education．

One of the most getting forms of education for registered nurses is an associate degree in  nursing  which takes  about two  years to  complete．  Other  RN  candidates  may  choose  a hospital diploma program where they take 30 to 60 hours worth of science classes and then take  many more hours of classes which are heavily focused on nursing．The diploma program usually  takes  a minimum of three years．  A diploma program meets the  basic  educational requirements to be a registered nurse．

Another choice is for the promising RN to get a Bachelor of Science degree in Nursing    from a university．Once a BSN degree is earned，it gives the person the opportunity to get     higher education opportunities in his or her field such as a Master’s Degree or a PhD．

The registered nurse educational requirements can vary from state to state in America     as each state has its own laws and policies that govern the nursing profession．However，all     registered nurses must take some sort of licensing exam in order to become legally able to     practice in the registered nursing profession．

While 2 to 3 years of training is required，it is possible to make a good living from the salary that you can earn as a registered nurse．But be aware that the profession can be     stressful．Some of the most stressful nursing positions are those in hospitals，particularly in     the emergency rooms．Some less stressful jobs may include working in private practice where     the hours will not be as long． 

66．The main idea of this article is to talk about——．

    A．the most promising profession in the future
