If he is honest he will tell youthat he is afraid of making a commitment. For commitment is in fact quitepainful. The single life is filled with fun, adventure, excitement.Marriage has such moments, but they are not its most distinguishingfeatures.Couples with infant children are lucky to get a whole night’s sleep or a three-day vacation. I don’t know any parent who would choose the wordfun to describe raising children. But couples who decide not to havechildren never know the joys of watching a child grow up or of playing witha grandchild.Understanding and accepting that true happiness has nothing to do with fun is one of the most liberating realizations. It liberates time: now wecan devote more hours to activities that can genuinely increase ourhappiness. It liberates money: buying that new car or those fancy clothesthat will do nothing to increase our happiness now seems pointless. Andit liberates us from envy: we now understand that all those who are alwayshaving so much fun actually may not be happy at all.41.According to the author, a bachelor resists marriage chieflybecause ________ .A. he is reluctant to take on family responsibilitiesB. he believes that life will be more cheerful if he remains singleC. he finds more fun in dating than in marriageD. he fears it will put an end to all his fun adventure and英语试卷第4 页（共10页）第3 页（共10页）excitement42.Raising children, in the author’s opinion is ________ .A. a moral dutyB. a thankless jobC. a rewarding taskD. a source of inevitable pain43.From the last paragraph, we learn that envy sometimes stems from ________ .A. hatredB. misunderstandingC. prejudiceD. ignorance44.To understand what true happiness is one must ________ .A. have as much fun as possible during one’s lifetimeB. make every effort to liberate oneself from painC. put up with pain under all circumstancesD. be able to distinguish happiness from fun45.What is the author trying to tell us?A. Happiness often goes hand in hand with pain.B. One must know how to attain happiness.C. It is important to make commitments.D. It is pain that leads to happiness.BWomen should not drink any alcohol during pregnancy. A report released by NICE says. It says if they must drink, they should not do so in the first three months and should limit to one or two ounces once or twice a week afterwards. It replaces previous guidance of saying small daily amounts were fine.NICE decided to tighten its guidance partly because of the concern that people are now drinking more than in the past. Previous draft guidance suggested women should drink an ounce of alcohol a day once they were past the first three months of pregnancy. The Department of Health in England changed its guidance last year, calling for no drinking while pregnant or while trying to get pregnant.Drinking heavily in pregnancy can cause fetal alcohol syndrome (胎儿酒精综合症), which can leave children with features like small heads, widely spaced eyes and behavior or learning problems,The experts said there was no evidence that several ounces once or twicea week would do any harm to the baby but could not categorically rule out(排除) any risk.National Childbirth Trust agreed women should limit their drinking during pregnancy. “Pregnant women who have had a few drinks often worrya great deal about whether they have harmed their baby. In general, it isbelieved that if a light infrequent drinker, in good health, drinks to thepoint of drunkenness on one occasion, the risk to her baby is small.”NICE also made a number of other recommendations for the care of women in the UK who were pregnant or planning to get pregnant. It said vitaminD and folic acid (叶酸) supplements should be offered by health staff tohelp avoid conditions such as rickets (软骨病) and spina bifida (脊椎裂).Officials also called for local health officials to ensure equal supportplans where mothers encourage new parents to breastfeed are set up. NICEalso called for improvements in the care of pregnant women with diabetes.About 20;000 pregnancies each year are affected by diabetes and, therefore,carry, higher risk of miscarriage (流产) and still birth. The guidance saidwomen should get access to advice and support, in particular to achievegood blood sugar control before they get pregnant.46. What is the advice made by the Department of Health on drinkingalcohol during pregnancy?A. Little in the first three months and a gradual increaseafterwards.B. An ounce a day after the first three months.C. No drinking for pregnant women.D. Those who drink regularly need not worry about the harm to theirbabies.47. What's the meaning of the underlined word "categorically'' inParagraph 4 ?A. Honestly.B. Absolutely.C. Physically.D. Doubtfully.48. According to the passage, miscarriage is caused most probably by__________.A. the lack of vitamin D and folic acidB. rickets and spina bifidaC. the lack of doctors' advice and support英语试卷第6 页（共10页）第5 页（共10页）D. diabetes carded by pregnant women49.

Why are uniforms so popular in the United States?Among the arguments for uniforms, one of the first is that in the eyes of most people they look more professional than civilian (百姓的) clothes. People have become conditioned to expect superior quality from a man who wears a uniform. The television repairman who wears uniform tends to inspire more trust than one who appears in civilian clothes. Faith in the skill of a garage mechanic is increased by a uniform. What easier way is there for a nurse, a policeman, a barber, or a waiter to lose professional identity (身份) than to step out of uniform ?Uniforms also have many practical benefits.They save on other clothes. They save on laundry bills.They are tax-deductible (可减税的). They are often more comfortable and more durable than civilian clothes.Primary among the arguments against uniforms is their lack of variety and the consequent loss of individuality experienced by people who must wear them.Though there are many types of uniforms, the wearer of any particular type is generally stuck with it, without change, untilretirement. When people look alike, they tend to think, speak, and actsimilarly, on the job at least.Uniforms also give rise to some practical problems. Though they are long-lasting, often their initial expense is greater than the cost ofcivilian clothes. Some uniforms are also expensive to maintain, requiringprofessional dry cleaning rather than the home laundering possible withmany types of civilian clothes.51. It is surprising that Americans who worship variety andindividuality________.A. still judge a man by his clothesB. hold the uniform in such high regardC. enjoy having a professional identityD. will respect an elevator operator as much as a general in uniform52. People are accustomed to thinking that a man in uniform________.A. suggests quality workB. discards his social identityC. appears to be more practicalD. looks superior to a person in civilian clothes53. The chief function of a uniform is to________.A. provide practical benefits to the wearerB. make the wearer catch the public eyeC. inspire the wearer’s confidence in himselfD. provide the wearer with a professional identity54. According to the passage, people wearing uniforms________.A. are usually helpfulB. have little or no individual freedomC. tend to lose their individualityD. enjoy greater popularity55. The best title for this passage would be________.A. Uniforms and SocietyB. The Importance of Wearing a UniformC. Practical Benefits of Wearing a UniformD.
