（共20小题；每小题2分，共40分）AMy grandparents were married for over half a century, and played their own special game the time they had met each other. The goal of their game was to write the word “shmily” in a surprise place for the other to find. They took turns leaving “shmily” around the house, and as soon as one of them discovered it, it was their turn to hide it once more. They dragged “shmily” with their fingers through the sugar and flour containers to await whoever was preparing the next meal. “Shmily” was written in the steam left on the mirror after a hot shower, where it would reappear bath after bath. There was no end to the places where “shmily” would pop up. Little notes with “shmily” were found on car seats, or taped to steering wheels. The notes were put inside shoes and left under pillows. “Shmily” was written in the dust upon the mantel（壁炉架）and traced in theashes of the fireplace. This mysterious word was as much a part of my grandparents’ house as the furniture.It took me a long time before I was able to fully appreciate my grandparents’ gam e. Skepticism has kept me from believing in true love --- one that is pure and enduring (持久的). However, I never doubted my grandparents’ relationship. It was based on passionate（热情的）affection which not everyone is lucky enough to experience.But there was a dark cloud in my grandparents’ life: my grandmother had breast cancer. The disease had first appeared ten years earlier. As always, Grandpa was with her every step of the way. He comforted her in their yellow room, painted that way so that she could always be surrounded by sunshine, even when she was too sick to go outside. But my grandmother grew steadily weaker until, finally, she could not leave the house anymore. Then one day, what we all dreaded finally happened. Grandma was gone.“Shmily.” It was written in yellow on the pink ribbons of my grandmother’s funeral bouquet (花束). As the crowd thinned and the last mourners turned to leave, Grandpa stepped up to my grandmother’s coffin and, taking a shaky breath, he began to sing to her. Through his tears a nd grief, the song came: S-h-m-i-l-y: See How Much I Love You.31.The first paragraph is mainly about ________.A.what the word “shmily” meansB.how the author’s grandparents played their special gameC.how the author appreciated her grandparents’ gameD.how the a uthor’s grandparents cared for each other32.The underlined phrase “pop up” in Paragraph 1 means ________.A.appearB. changeC. surviveD. work33. According to the passage, the author _________.A.thought the game was meaninglessB. believes everyone can experience true loveB.doubted the existence of true love at first D. sometimes left “shmily” around the house34. Grandpa tried to make Grandma comfortable by _______.A.singing songs to her every dayB. painting the room yellowC. encouraging her to go outsideD. helping her take a hot shower every dayBWhy does most of the world travel on the right side today? Theories differ, but there’s no doubt Napoleon was a major influence. The French have used the right since at least the late 18th century. Some say that before the French Revolution, noblemen drove their carriages on the left, forcing the peasants to the right. Regardless of the origin, Napoleon brought right-hand traffic to the nations he conquered, including Russia, Switzerland and Germany. Hitler, in turn, ordered right-hand traffic in Czechoslovakia and Austria in the 1930s. Nations that escaped right-hand control, like Great Britain, followed their left-hand tradition.The U.S. has not always been a nation of right-hand drivers; earlier in its history, carriage and horse traffic travelled on the left, as it did in England. But by the late 1700s, people driving large wagons pulled by several pairs of horses began promoting a shift（改变）to the right. A driver would sit on the rear（后面的）left horse in order to wave his whip（鞭子）with his right hand; to see opposite traffic clearly, they travelled on the right.One of the final moves to firmly standardize traffic directions in the U.S. occurred in the 20th century, when Henry Ford decided to mass-produce his cars with controls on the left (one reason, stated in 1908: the convenience for passengers exiting directly onto the edge, especially… if there is a lady to be considered). Once these rules were set, many countries eventually adjusted to the right-hand standard, including Canada in the 1920s, Sweden in 1967 and Burma in 1970. The U.K. and former colonies such as Australia and India are among the Western world’s few remaining holdouts(坚持不变者). Several Asian nations, including Japan, use the left as well--- though many places use both right-hand-drive and left-hand-drive cars.35. Why did people in Switzerland travel on the right?A.They had used the right-hand traffic since the 18th century.B.Rich people enjoyed driving their carriages on the right.C.Napoleon introduced the right-hand traffic to this country.D.Hitler ordered them to go against their left-hand tradition.36. of all the countries below, the one that travels on the right is_________.A.AustriaB. EnglandC. JapanD. Australia37. Henry Ford produced cars with controls on the left __________.A.in order to change traffic directions in the U.S.B.so that passengers could get off convenientlyC.because rules at that time weren’t perfectD.though many countries were strongly against that38. What would be the best title for this passage?A.Who made the great contribution to the shift of traffic directions?B.How cars have become a popular means of transportation?C.How Henry Ford produced his cars with controls on the left?D.Why don’t people all drive on the same side of road?CI’d always dreamed of exploring Africa, ever since I read my first Tarzan（《人猿泰山》）comic as a child. Finally, in 2004, to celebrate my 60th birthday, I went to Tanzania to experience a safari（东非游猎）and climb Mount Kilimanjaro, the highest mountain in Africa. Seated next to me on the flight was Tanzania’s minister of water and wildlife development. We talked for thousands of miles, and he arranged me to visit a school. When I toured the school, I was shocked. The leaky （漏的）roofs turned the dirt floors into mud during the rainy season, and the walls couldn’t keep out the heat, cold or bugs(小昆虫). The school was in need of all material goods, but the kids possessed great human spirit.It broke my heart that these children had to struggle to survive, so I asked the headmaster what it would cost to feed them. As little as 20 cents per child per day, he told me. Immediately I got home, I founded Kids of Kilimanjaro. Since then we’ve grown to provid e hot lunches for nearly 13,000 schoolchildren every day. The free lunch program has eased a major problem the youngsters face.I know a good education could really make a difference in these children’s lives. My parents always stressed the importance of education. I paid my own way through college in Tokyo by teaching English to students and businesspeople. After attending university I moved to San Francisco, when I was 25 years old. In 1978 I realized my American dream when I founded my own company. My success all started with a good education.It’s amazing that something as simple as a nutritious lunch can change and enrich so many lives. Giving young people a better, healthier life can inspire them to go all the way through college and lead a movement that transforms their country.39. Why did the author go to Tanzania to celebrate his 60th birthday?A.He was curious about what Africa was like.B.He was concerned about the Africans’ miserable life.C.He wanted to get an idea of the area’s wildlife.D.He hoped to lead a movement that would transform his country.40. What is the main purpose of Kids of Kilimanjaro?A.To make sure the African kids are mentally healthy.B.To spread knowledge among the African kids.C.To build new schools for the African kids.D.To protect the African kids from hunger.41. What is the correct sequence of the following events?a.“I” founded “my” first company.b.“I” founded Kids of Kilimanjaro.c.“I” read “my” first Tarzan comic.d.“I” moved to San Francisco.A.a, c, d, bB. a, d, c, bC. c, a, d, bD. c, d, a, b42. The author believes education is important because __________.A.his parents always stressed the importance of educationB. a good education contributes to his successC.he paid his own way through college by teaching EnglishD.he’s try ing to realize his American dreamDYour peers are people of your age or close to it who have experiences and interests similar to yours. You and your friends make dozens of decisions every day, and you influence each other’s choices and behavior. This is often ________ --- it’s human nature to listen to and learn from other people in your age group.Sometimes, though, the stresses in your life can actually come from your peers. They may pressure you into doing something you’re uncomfortable with, such as s hoplifting, doing drugs or drinking, or taking dangerous risks when driving a car.The pressure to conform（随潮流）can be powerful and hard to resist. A person might feel pressure to do something just because others are doing it. Peer pressure can influence a person todo something that is relatively harmless--- or something that has more serious consequences.People may feel pressure to conform, so they fit in or are accepted, or so they don’t feel awkward or uncomfortable. When people are unsure of what to do in a social situation, they naturally look to others for cues（暗示）about what is and isn’t acceptable.The people who are most easily influenced will follow someone else’s lead first. Then others may go along, too --- so it can be easy to think, “It must b e OK. Everyone else is doing it. They must know what they’re doing.” Before you know it, many people are going along with the crowd --- perhaps on something they might not otherwise do.Responding to peer pressure is part of human nature --- but some people are more likely to give in, and others are better able to resist and stand their ground.It’s not always easy to resist negative peer pressure. But when you do, it is easy to feel good about it afterwards. And you may even be a positive influence on your peers who feel the same way --- often it just takes one person to speak out or take a different action to change a situation.43.Which is most likely to be filled in the blank in Paragraph 1?A.negativeB. impossibleC. positiveD. uncertain44. Most people tend to do what others are doing in order to _________.A.feel a sense of achievementB. get a feeling of being acceptedC. set a good example for othersD. stand out in a crowd45. What can we know according to the author?A.Giving in to peer pressure is unavoidable.B.Peer pressure usually leads to serious results.C.Going along with the crowd usually means making a right choice.D.Everyone can make a difference by resisting negative peer pressure.46. This passage is mainly about _______.A.thoughts on peer pressureB. different types of peer pressureC. ways to deal with peer pressureD. the influence of peer pressure on peopleEHappiness can be described as a positive mood and a pleasant state of mind. According to recent polls(民意调查), sixty to seventy percent of Americans consider themselves to be moderately happy and one in twenty persons feels very unhappy. Psychologists have beenstudying the factors that contribute to happiness. It is not predictable, nor is a person in an apparently ideal situation necessarily happy. The ideal situation may have little to do with his actual feelings.A good education and income are usually considered necessary for happiness. Though both may contribute, they are only chief factors if the person is seriously undereducated or actually suffering from lack of physical needs.The rich are not likely to be happier than the middle-income group or even those with very low incomes. People with college educations are somewhat happier than those who did not graduate from high school, and it is believed that this is mainly because they have more opportunities to control their lives. Yet people with a high income and a college education may be less happy than those with the same income and no college education.Poor health does not rule out happiness except for the severely disabled or those in pain. Learning to cope with a health problem can contribute to happiness. Those who have good relationship with other family members are happier than those who live alone. Love has a higher correlation with happiness than any other factors.It should be noted that people quickly get used to what they have, and they are happiest when they feel they are increasing their level no matter where it stands at a given time.Children whose parents were happily married have happier childhoods, but are not necessarily happier adults.The best formula (准则) for happiness is to be able to develop AQ (Adversity Quotient that can be of great benefit when running into trouble), to have a personal involvement and commitment, and to develop self-confidence and self-esteem.47. It can be inferred from the passage that _____.A. happiness is neither predictable nor apparentB. a person in an apparently ideal situation must be happyC. the rich are not likely to be happier than the middle-income groupD. happiness is not necessarily connected to one’s situation in society48. According to the article, happiness is greatly dependent upon _____.A. a happy childhood in which one can do whatever he likesB. great wealth with which one can buy anythingC. a feeling that conditions are becoming for the betterD. a college degree that can help one achieve great success49. The letters AQ in the last paragraph most probably mean _____.A. ambition to defeat others in a severe competitionB. ability to overcome difficulty and get out of embarrassing situationC. methods of solving difficult problems and challenges in lifeD. attitudes towards severe competition especially in trouble50. The best title of this passage may be _____.A. What Does Happiness Consist inB. Happiness and UnhappinessC. Different Kinds of HappinessD. Causes of Happiness and Unhappiness第二节根据对话内容，从对话后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
