A

I live in the land of Disney, Hollywood and year-round sun. You may think people in such an attractive and exciting, fun-filled place are happier than others. If so, you have some mistaken ideas about the nature of happiness.

Many intelligent people still consider happiness equal to fun. The truth is that fun and happiness have little or nothing in common. Fun is what we experience during an act. Happiness is what we experience after an act. It is a deeper, more lasting emotion.

Going to an amusement park or ball game, watching a movie or television, are fun activities that help us relax, temporarily forget our problems and maybe even laugh. But they do not bring happiness, because their positive effects end when the fun ends.

I have often thought that if Hollywood stars have a role to play, it is to teach us that happiness has nothing to do with fun. These rich, beautiful individuals have constant access to glamorous parties, fancy cars, expensive homes, everything that spells “happiness”. But in memoir (回忆录) after memoir, famous people expose the unhappiness hidden beneath all their fun: depression, alcoholism (酗酒), drug addiction, broken marriages, troubled children and extreme loneliness.

Ask an unmarried man why he refuses to get married even though he finds dating to be less and less satisfying. If he‟s honest, he will tell you that he is afraid of making a commitment (承诺). 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 features.

Similarly, couples that choose not to have children are deciding in favor of painless fun over

painful happiness. They can dine out whenever they want and sleep as late as they want. Couples with babies 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.

The way people stick to the belief that a fun-filled, pain-free life equals happiness actually reduces their chances of ever achieving 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 times than not, things that lead to happiness involve some pain.

As a result, many people avoid the very efforts that are the source of true happiness. They fear the pain unavoidably brought by such things as marriage, raising children, professional achievement, religious commitment and self-improvement.

Understanding and accepting that true happiness has nothing to do with fun is one of the most liberating () realizations we can ever come to. It liberates time: now we can devote more hours to activities that can truly 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 rich and glamorous people we were so sure are happy because they are always having so much fun actually may not be happy at all. 41. According to the passage, which of the following people are more likely to achieve happiness? A. People living in fun-filled places. B. People taking pains to raise children. C. People living a wealthy life. D. People who are free from responsibility. 42. According to the writer, an important role Hollywood stars have to play is to ______. A. give audience enough fun B. write memoirs to introduce their lives C. tell people what happiness is D. show unhappiness beneath fun 43. In the writer‟s opinion, marriage ______. A. means responsibility B. means the end of fun C. leads to raising children D. leads to less sleep 44. Many people fail to enjoy real happiness because ______.

A. they believe fun is equal to happiness B. they get married and have children C. they don‟t have religious beliefs D. they can‟t free themselves from commitment 45. If one understands the nature of happiness, he will ______. A. stop seeking fun from daily life B. enjoy life by spending all his wealth C. keep himself with his family D. make more efforts to take responsibilites

B

Below is a selection from a science report. Even facts “forgotten” by people during a busy day may be got back again if this is followed by a good night's sleep. Researchers from the University of Chicago asked volunteers to remember simple words. Many found their memories letting them down towards the end of the day, but the following morning, those who had slept well could remember much more. Researchers, writing in the journal Nature, said the brain could “rescue” lost memories during the night. When the brain is first asked to remember something, that memory is laid down in an “unstable” state, which means it is possible that it could be lost. At some point, the brain consolidates (强化) those which are thought important into a “stable”, more permanent state. 《提优卷》·英语测试卷（一） 第 3 页 共 10 页

However, the Chicago researchers suggested that it was possible for a “stable” memory to be made “unstable” again. This would mean that memories could be slightly changed and then be kept in a new order again in the face of new experiences. The 12 volunteers who were tested in the experiment were asked to listen to words created through a speech synthesizer (语音合成器) which were purposely difficult to understand. At the very beginning, the written version of the word was available, but afterwards the volunteers were asked to identify the word just depending on the sound they heard. Tests showed that the ability to remember the right word tended to weaken as the day ended. However, when the volunteers were retested after a good night's sleep, they were able to recall some words that they had “forgotten” the previous evening. Dr Daniel, one of the study authors, said: “Sleep strengthens memories, protecting them against later interference (干扰) or decay (衰减).” “Sleep also appears to „recover‟ or restore memories.” He said: “If the function of memory is reduced by decay, sleep might actively recover what has been lost.” Dr Karim Nader, from the Department of Psychology in McGill University in Montreal, said: “Memory research is experiencing a transformation -- no longer is memory thought to be a hardware of the brain, instead it seems to be a process of storage and re-storage. Sleep helps some memories „fully grown up‟ and also removes unimportant memories.” 46. What tends to happen to a person at the end of the day according to the report? A. He may feel tired. B. He may feel sleepy. C. His memory weakens. D. His brain stops working. 47. What can be kept in one‟s memory more permanently? A. Something first remembered by the brain.

B. Something considered to be important by the brain. C. Something reviewed by the brain during the night. D. Something appearing in the brain last.

48. Which of the following is the correct order of what the volunteers did in the experiment? a. distinguished words simply by their sounds

b. recalled the words they had heard at different times of the day c. recalled the words they had heard the next morning

d. distinguished words by their sounds and their written version A. abcd B. dacb C. bdca D. dabc 49. From the report we can learn that ______. A. memory differs from person to person B. good memory happens in the early morning C. sleep affects memory D. memory fails at the end of a day

C

The discovery that language can be a barrier (障碍) to communication is quickly made by all who travel, study, govern or sell. Whether the activity is tourism, research, government, policing or business, the lack of a common language can severely delay progress or can stop it altogether.

Although communication problems of this kind must happen thousands of times each day, very few become public knowledge. Publicity comes only when a failure to communicate has major results, such as strikes, lost orders, legal problems or deadly accidents--even, at times, war. One reported example of communication failure took place in 1970, when several Americans ate a

species of poisonous mushroom. No remedy was known, and two of the people died within days. A radio report of the case was heard by a chemist who knew of a treatment that had been successfully used in 1959 and published in 1963. Why had the American doctors not heard of it seven years later? Possibly because the report of the treatment had been published only in journals written in European languages other than English.

Several comparable cases have been reported. But isolated (孤立的) examples do not give an impression of the size of the problem--something that can come only from studies of the use or avoidance of foreign-language materials and contacts in different communicative situations. In the English-speaking scientific world, for example, surveys of books and documents consulted in libraries and other information agencies have shown that very little foreign-language material is ever consulted. Library requests in the field of science and technology showed that only 13 percent were for foreign language journals.

The language barrier presents itself entirely to firms who wish to market their products in other countries. British industry, in particular, has in recent decades often been criticized for its assumption (设想) that foreign buyers will be happy to communicate in English, and that awareness of other languages is not therefore a matter to be considered first. In the 1960s, over two-thirds of British firms dealing with non-English-speaking customers were using English for outgoing letters; many had their sales language only in English; and as many as 40 percent employed no one who was able to communicate in the customer's languages. A similar problem was identified in other English-speaking countries, especially the USA, Australia and New Zealand. And non-English speaking countries were by no means free from the same problem--although the widespread use of English as an alternative (可替换的) language made them a bit more able to communicate with other countries.

The criticism and publicity given to this problem since the 1960s seems to have greatly improved the situation. Industrial training projects have promoted an increase in language and cultural awareness. Many firms now have their own translation services. Some firms run part-time language courses in the languages of the countries with which they are most involved; some produce their own technical glossaries (词汇表), to ensure consistency (一致性) when material is being translated. It is now much more readily accepted that marketing efforts can be delayed, damaged or ruined by a failure to take the language needs of the customer into consideration. 50. Communication problems may come to the attention of the public when ______. A. somebody has died B. a serious traffic accident has happened C. serious results have been caused D. people have trouble in travelling

52. What can we infer about American doctors from the case of the poisonous mushrooms? A. They probably only read reports written in English. B. They hadn‟t read that report of the treatment. C. They didn‟t know how to treat such a case.

D. They were unable to get reports written in other languages.

53. Firms of English-speaking countries use English only when marketing their products because ______.

A. English is their official language

B. they don‟t know their products will be sold abroad C. people in their countries don‟t know other languages

D. they think foreign customers will be happy when English is used

54. Which of the following ways has been used by the British companies to solve the problem of language barrier since the 1960s? A. Employing foreign workers. B. Setting up their own translation services. C. Providing English training for foreign customers. D. Stopping exporting goods to foreign countries.

D

My parents lived through the Great Depression of the 1930s and I heard stories from both of them about how their lives changed because of it. The same was true of my in-laws whose lives were also affected negatively. For example, my husband‟s grandfather owned a factory. Owing to the stock (证券) market crash, he lost the factory and went back to work in the very factory he‟d once owned. He could no longer afford to send my father-in-law to college. My father-in-law worked full time as a pipe fitter and went to school part-time to earn his degree, which took seven years.

Somehow, my husband and I never dreamed that we would live through anything similar. However, as they say, history often repeats itself. In 1929, the stock market crashed in the month of October. The same thing happened in 2008. My husband, who had invested (投资) all our money in the market, was in a state of shock. Each day the news was more terrible.

“We‟ve lost more than half of our wealth,” he told me. I just stared at him. “How can that be?”

“I thought we had good, solid investments, but it seems I was wrong.”

“Well, we do have pensions (抚恤金),” I said. “Hopefully, they won‟t be affected. Since we have never lived a high lifestyle to begin with, I don‟t think we have to worry.”

“I did hope to leave our children and grandchildren a generous inheritance (遗产),” my husband said. He shook his head in disbelief.

“We‟ll still be able to give gifts. Love is the most important gift anyway.” Our children are grown and we always try to be generous to them and our grandchildren.

“It just won‟t be the same.”

“The world is always changing,” I said. “You never know what will happen. The main thing is not to get discouraged. As long as we have our health and can afford the necessities of life, there‟s no reason to be upset. When you have your health, you can always earn more money.”

I hugged my husband and he kissed me in return.

“I guess you‟re right,” he agreed. “We love each other. We have our health and enough money to live on comfortably. That‟s all that matters.”

We had to move out of our house into an apartment. Since few people could afford a house in those hard days, we decided to offer it for considerably less than it would normally be worth. Even so, several buyers changed their mind days before closing. But finally, our home was sold.

As we shook hands with the new owners, I told them how fortunate they were.

“Not only are you getting a bargain in the price, but this house has good luck. We bought the house from a family who lived in it for nine years. They were a happy family, a husband, wife and five children. It was a cheerful house and we had a good feeling about it. We raised our children here as well.”

“That‟s good to hear,” the young woman said with a smile. “We have two young children ourselves. And I believe in luck too.”

We nodded our heads in agreement, understanding each other.

“You‟ll live only six houses from the best primary school in the town and your children won‟t even have to cross a street,” I said. “Our children used to come home each day and have lunch with me.”

“We like the woods in the back,” the young man told us. “We‟re going to plant a large garden in the backyard.”

They seemed so young and happy and full of plans. My husband and I had to smile. At least some good was coming out of the economic difficulty. We no longer needed a house. It was good to know that another young family would now be living in what had been a happy, loving home for us. Also, the house needed work that we no longer had the energy to perform.

These may be tough times economically, but as for me, I intend to look forward, not back. As Shakespeare said in Macbeth, “what‟s done is done and cannot be undone.” It‟s the present and future that matter. We can learn from our mistakes and make our lives better.

55. In the first paragraph, the author described her husband‟s family in order to tell us ______. A. economic difficulty can change a family‟s lifestyle

B. people have to sell their factories when the stock market crashes C. everything can happen in today‟s world

D. my husband‟s family suffered a lot in the 1930s 56. What happened to the author‟s family in 2008?

A. Her husband invested all their money in the stock market. B. They had to live on pensions. C. They had to sell their house.

D. They got most of their money lost in the stock market.

57. The author‟s attitude towards her husband after hearing the bad news can be described as ______.

A. angry but supportive B. sincere and encouraging C. kind and sympathetic D. forgiving but casual 58. In the author‟s opinion what matters in life is ______. A. wealth and health B. health and love C. money and work D. house and children

A possible version: Dear Sir,

It is said that our local government is going to move our school to the suburb. I am now writing to express my opinion that it is more advisable to keep the school where it is.

For one thing, it is more convenient for both students and teachers to get to the present school which is located in the center of the city. If it is moved to the suburb, it surely will bring students, especially their parents, much trouble.

For another, as a school with a history of one hundred years, her value mainly lies in the signs left by time. We can put up new buildings and plant new trees, but we cannot rebuild such reminders of memory.

Therefore, I suggest the school not be moved.

Wang Ming,
