Everyone wants to be happy. But sometimes, a guest comes in without invitation. It’s unhappiness. Don’t let it get you down. Send it away!When you are happy, the world feels like a better place. As the saying goes: When you smile, the world smiles with you; when you cry, you cry alone. Wearing a smile will make you more charming (迷人的) and help you to win lots of friends. A good mood always gives you hope, which makes trouble and problems easier to handle.No matte how happy you are, it’s normal to feel angry, sad or gloomy once in a while. Life is full of ups and downs. We can’t change the way life is, but we can do our best to change a bad situation into a good one. To help us do this, it’s good to know some of the factors (因素) that influence happiness.One of the biggest factors is social relationships. People who are close to family and friends are happier than people who don’t have those relationships. Talking and sharing is a good way to relax and build confidence (信心). Knowing someone is there for you will make you braver and more outgoing.Another factor is work or school. If you enjoy school, even if you have lots of homework or extra classes, you will still feel that your school life is meaningful and happy. But if you hate school, your negative attitude may cause you to feel bored and upset that you have to do so much work.A third factor is your attitude towards life. How do you feel if you fail in an exam? Maybe you think it’s unfair because you always study hard and should get a good mark. You can’t stop blaming yourself. Or, maybe you accept it. You go through the paper carefully, find our why you made stupid mistakes, and tell yourself, “Take it easy! I’ll do better next time!” Your attitude makes a big difference.51.

Which of the following is probably the best title for the passage?A. Make Trouble Easy to Handle.B. Your School Life is happy.C. The World Smiles with You.D. You Make Your Own Happiness.C．Baseball is America’s national sport. So it is not unusual that many popular expressions come from basketball. But first, let me explain a little about the game.Each baseball team has nine players. The pitcher of one team throws the ball to a batter from the other team. The batter attempts to hit the ball. If he misses, it is called a strike. If a batter gets three strikes, he loses his turn at bat and is called out. The batter also is out if he hits the ball in the air and an opposing player catches it. But if the batter hits the ball and it is not caught, the batter tries to run to one or more of the four bases on the field. The batter can run to all four bases if he hits the ball over the fence or out of the ballpark. Such a hit is called a homerun.Now, here are some common expressions from baseball. Someone who is “in the ball” is intelligent and able to do a good job. But a person who “threw a curve ball” did something unexpected. Someone who “steps up to the plate” is ready to do his or her job. A “pinch hitter” takes the place of someone else at a job or activity.Sometimes I have to give information quickly, without time to think it over. Then I would say something “right off the bat.” If someone is doing an extremely good job and is very successful, you might say he or she is “batting one thousand.”If I say I want to “touch base” with you, I will talk to you from time to time about something we plan to do. I might say I “touched all the bases” if I did what is necessary to complete a job or activity. And if I “covered my bases” I was well prepared. However, someone who is “way off base” did something wrong or maybe even dishonest or immoral. A person with strangeideas might be described as “out in left field.”Finally, when a situation changes completely, we say “that is a whole new ballgame.”55. The writer’s purpose is ____.A. to explain the rules of a sport game —baseballB. to tell you more about America’s national sportsC. to introduce some useful expressions from baseballD. to show the connection between expressions and sports56. The underlined sentence “The batter also is out” means ____.A. the batter will run to one of the four basesB. the batter will not continue the gameC. the match will be over immediatelyD. the batter will change his position57. Which of the following expressions means that someone is able to do a good job?A, to be on the ball B. to step up the plateC. to throw a curve ballD. to touch all the basesD.Never go into a supermarket hungry! This is a good piece of advice. If you go shopping for food before lunchtime, you’ll probably buy more than you plan to. Unfortunately, however, just this advice isn’t enough for consumers these days. Modern shoppers need an edu7cation in how and how not to but things at the store. First, you check the weekly newspaper ads. Find out the items that are on sale and decide if you really need these things. In other words, don’t but anything just because it’s cheaper than usual! “New and Improved!” or “All Natural” on the front of a package influence you. Instead, read the list of ingredients (成分) on the back. Third, compare prices: that is, you should examine the prices of both different brands and different sizes of the same brand.Another suggestion for customers is to buy ordinary items instead of famous brands. Ordinary items in supermarkets come in plain packages. These products are cheaper because producers don’t spend much money on packing or advertising. The quality, however, is usually as good as the quality of well-known name brands. In the same way, in buying clothes, you often find high quality and low pices in brands that are not famous. Shopping on discount clothing stores can help you save a lot of money. Although these stores aren’t very attractive, and they usually do not have individual dressing rooms, not only are the prices low, but you can often find the same famous brands that you find in high-priced department stores.Wise consumers read magazine ads and watch TV commercials, but they do this with one advantage: knowledge of the psychology behind the ads. In other words, well-informed consumers watch for information and heck for misinformation. They ask themselves questions: Is tha advertiser hiding something in small print at the bottom of the page? Is there any real information in the commercial, or is the advertiser simply showing an attractive image? With the answers to these questions, consumers can make a wise choice.58. Before you decide to buy things you should ____.A. make sure whether they are on saleB. consider if you really need themC. examine the prices of different brandsD. read the words on the front of the package59. The writer suggests consumers buy ordinary products because ____.A. they come in plain packageB. they are advertised on newspapersC. they are both good and cheaperD. the quality is better than that of famous ones60. The main idea of the last paragraph is that ____.A. ads and commercials sometimes tell liesB. advertisements sometime hide some informationC. good consumers never read ads and commercialsD. we should make good use of ads and commercials七．阅读短文还原句子阅读短文，根据上下文意思，将方框中的句子还原到短文中适当位置，使其通顺完整，并在答题卡上将其字母代___61___.

On the day, many Londoners rushed to a bookstore to buy a book that was just published. The first printing of 1,250 copies sold out on the first day.The popular book was The origin of Species (《物种起源》) by British naturalist Charles Darwin (1809-1882). In the book, Darwin argued that different forms of life could change over time because of natural selection. This means that only those who are best suited to their environment will live and reproduce. Darwin supported his arguments with examples he found during his around-the-world trip in the 1830s.The book laid the foundation of modern biology. It changed how other scientists understood the appearance of life on Earth.A hundred and fifty years later, Darwin’s theory (理论) of natural selection still has great influence in the world of science. But some people have a question: since medicine and modern life have made people healthier, are we still evolving (进化) by natural selection?The answer is yes, according to Stephen Sterns and his team of Yale University researchers. They did a study on 2,238 women in the US. They found that shorter, heavier women have more children then thinner, taller ones. This trend (趋势) runs among their female children and grandchildren. So if this continues, women in 400 years will be about 2cm shorter and a kilo heavier.Sterns’ findings are supported by other scientists. For example, John Hawks at the University of Wisconsin, US and his team believe they have found nearly 2,000 gene variations (基因变异) in modern humans. Those variations allow people to drink milk, fight disease and improve brain development.65. Was The origin of Species a popular book?66. When was the book published?67. What dies natural selection mean?68. Why dies the writer introduce Sterns’ findings in the passage?69. Why is Darwin’s theory of natural selection important?第五部分书面表达（共25分）九．根据中文意思完成句子（共10分，每小题2分）70. 托尼昨天上学迟到了。
