小題1:　A
解析　根據(jù)上下文得知作者起初以自己的方式評(píng)價(jià)別人的愛(ài)，以為別人的方式都不正確、不合理，包括男朋友父母的、自己父親的和朋友的，因此此處提到男朋友父母的表達(dá)方式起初應(yīng)為作者不欣賞和不喜歡的，故排除B、C、D三項(xiàng)。句意為：對(duì)于拜訪我男朋友的父母，我記憶(remember)最多的是餐廳鬧鐘的滴答聲。
小題2:　C
解析　由后面的With so little conversation可知，作者與男朋友一家人吃飯時(shí)他們很少說(shuō)話，故用silently。
小題3:　A
解析　regard...as...意為“把……看作/當(dāng)作．..”。由于表達(dá)愛(ài)的方式不一樣，作者把男朋友家人用餐時(shí)的少言寡語(yǔ)當(dāng)成冷漠。
小題4:　C
解析　由下文父親為兒子“wash windscreen”可知作者和男朋友是開(kāi)車回去的。
小題5:　B
解析　作者原來(lái)以為男朋友的父親很冷漠，而現(xiàn)在卻“...feel he is a caring man through the glass.”能夠改變其看法的應(yīng)該是細(xì)心地(carefully)擦車這一動(dòng)作。punctually準(zhǔn)時(shí)地；proudly自豪地；coldly冷漠地。
小題6:　D
解析　根據(jù)下文“...when I answered the phone.”可知，D項(xiàng)符合語(yǔ)境。
小題7:　A
解析　父親在電話中指導(dǎo)作者如何買東西而沒(méi)有給她令人愉悅的問(wèn)候(greeting)，曾經(jīng)這也是作者對(duì)父親的誤解原因。meeting會(huì)議；apology道歉；explanation解釋，說(shuō)明。
小題8:　B
解析　根據(jù)下文“...we often quarreled.”可知，他的方式惹惱了作者。
小題9:　B
解析　上文父親電話的內(nèi)容可看出父親的電話很簡(jiǎn)短，并沒(méi)有讓作者感到溫暖，也沒(méi)體現(xiàn)出禮貌來(lái)。
小題10:　D
解析　根據(jù)上句“But one day，I thought about my father’s success in business and realized that his concern for my financial security lay behind his ____ morning calls.”可知，父親下次讓作者買股票時(shí)，自然要感謝他了。
小題11:　D
解析　根據(jù)前半句“When my social style has conflicted with that of my friends...”可知，作者因自己的社交方式和朋友不同而失望。
小題12:　C
解析　作者的朋友表達(dá)關(guān)愛(ài)的方式與作者不一樣，因此，對(duì)比其朋友，作者的方式應(yīng)該是及時(shí)地(without delay)回電話。
小題13:　C
解析　“She wasn’t a good friend！”是作者對(duì)朋友作出的評(píng)價(jià)，而不是對(duì)朋友的感情、提議或信念。
小題14:　B
解析　“My anger ____ as the holidays approached.”與“But then...”構(gòu)成轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系�！癇ut then...”所在的一句及下文說(shuō)明作者改變了對(duì)朋友的看法，故前面作者的觀點(diǎn)依然是否定的。故選B項(xiàng)。
小題15:　C
解析　朋友通過(guò)參加作者舉辦的聚會(huì)一事改變了作者的看法。host做東，作為主人組織(聚會(huì))，符合句意。
小題16:　D
解析　作者的朋友通過(guò)自己的方式表現(xiàn)出了其獨(dú)特的關(guān)愛(ài)，讓作者感到吃驚(shocked)，從而改變了她的看法。
小題17:　A
解析　一旦改變了看法，作者便對(duì)自己以前認(rèn)為朋友是沒(méi)愛(ài)心的(uncaring)感到后悔和愧疚了。
小題18:　A
解析　概括上文，作者回憶自己以前沒(méi)有注意到人人都有獨(dú)特的(unique)關(guān)愛(ài)方式。
小題19:　B
解析　由句意可知，作者總是忽視他們獨(dú)特的表達(dá)方式，期望他們按照她自己的方式做事，故選way。
小題20:　B
解析　此處表現(xiàn)作者由起初的誤解他人到最后懂得領(lǐng)會(huì)(read)人們傳達(dá)愛(ài)的方式，照應(yīng)文章的開(kāi)頭。

A culture’s values can be mirrored by its humor. Humor has been evaluated by many great minds such as Thomas Hobbes, who, in “On Nature”, disliked humor, “Laughter is nothing else but sudden glory arising from sudden thought of feeling far better than others.” He thought humor to be a negative quality of human narrow-mindedness.
However, Mordechai Gordon, Ph. D of Education, insists, “Humor allows us to view the world from an angle that is amusing rather than serious.” I agree with Gordon. Learning to look at the world through humor is important.
In the United States, every four years an election occurs. Without humor as a way to express their feelings, how else would Americans keep from clawing their eyes out and going the way of lemming? Television shows like “The Daily Show” have become important parts of American culture. They are mothering the masses by metaphorically(隱喻地) airplane-ing politics into our mouths. They make politics fun.
Of course, politics is only one type of humor. Social humor helps people through the twists and turns of the human condition. American pop culture promotes an unhealthy self- image. On the topic of self-image, Hari Kondabolu stands out. He has a joke about the popular musical group “The Pussycat Dolls”, describing their hit song “Don't Cha” as a negative representation of women. He points out an obvious offence in American culture.
A study from Loyola University of Maryland has shown that humor is one determining factor for selecting a mating partner. Amongst other things, mates look for an outstanding funny bone in a potential partner.
Of course, humor is not always used for good purposes. Humor can be linked to vulgarity (粗俗)and racism, but, like everything else, it has potential to unite human beings by allowing us to laugh at ourselves, our failures and our connection with one another.
Though 1ife may seem tough and depressing at times, all I have to do is look in the mirror at my increased wrinkles(皺紋) to know that there is a comedy out there that even Chaplin wasn’t aware of.
With that in mind, remember to laugh with humanity and sometimes at humanity.
小題1:Hobbes believes that humor__________.
A．was for people to view the world from another angle
B．resulted in narrow-mindedness of human beings
C．had the power to mirror personal glory and national values
D．was only a way to laugh at others to make oneself feel better
小題2:The fourth paragraph is developed mainly__________.
A．by comparisonB．by processC．by exampleD．by classification
小題3:What can we learn from the last two paragraphs?
A．The author is determined to face life with a sense of humor.
B．The author feels helpless and sad about getting older.
C．Never be the one who laughs at other people.
D．Chaplin wasn’t aware of being laughed at.

During my elementary school years, I used to compare my mom with my best friend Tiffany's mom.
Tiffany's mom always gave her lots of money to buy the most fashionable clothes and favorite food. Her mom allowed her to do anything she liked. I really admired Tiffany. My mom didn't give me much pocket money and she always told me that I should behave myself. I was annoyed with her.
Whenever I didn't get what I wanted, I would complain to my mom, Tiffany's mom would give her that! I wish she were my mom. "Every time, my morn would calmly say "Poor Tiffany". I couldn't understand her. "She shouldn't be feeling sorry for Tiffany!" I thought. "She should be feeling sorry for me."
One day, I couldn't help saying to Mom, "Poor Tiffany? Lucky Tiffany! She gets everything she wants! Why do you feel sorry for her? " I burst into tears.
My mom sat down next to me and said softly. "Yes, I do feel sorry for her. I have been teaching you a lesson that she will never be taught. "
I looked up at her. "What are you talking about?"
Mom said with care, "One day she will really want something. Maybe she'll find out that she can't have it. Her mother won't always be around to give her money, and what's more, money can't buy everything. "
She continued, "I have taught you valuable lessons by not giving you everything you want. You'll know how to look for bargains and save money, but she won't. You'll understand that you need to work hard to get the things that you want but she won't. When Tiffany is a grown woman, she'll wake up one day and she will be wishing that she had a mom like the one you've got. Life lessons are more important than modern clothes and delicious food. "

Reading to dogs is an unusual way to help children improve their literacy skills. With their shining brown eyes, wagging tails, and unconditional love, dogs can provide the nonjudgmental listeners needed for a beginning reader to gain confidence, according to Intermountain Therapy Animals （ITA） in Salt Lake City. The group says it is the first program in the country to use dogs to help develop literacy in children, with the introduction of Reading Education Assistance Dogs（READ）.
The Salt Lake City Public Library is sold on the idea. “Literacy specialists admit that children who read below the level of their fellow pupils are often afraid of reading aloud in a group, often have lower self-respect, and regard reading as a headache,” said Lisa Myron, manager of the children’s department.
Last November, the two groups started “Dog Day Afternoon” in the children's department of the main library. About 25 children attended each of the four Saturday-afternoon classes, reading for half an hour. Those who attended three of the four classes received a “paw graphed” book at the last class.
The program was so successful that the library plans to repeat it in April, according to Dana Thumpowsky, public relations manager.
小題1:What is mainly discussed in the text?
A．Children’s reading difficulties.
B．Advantages of raising dogs.
C．Service in public library.
D．A special reading program.
小題2: Specialists use dogs to listen to children reading because they think ______________.
A．dogs are young children's best friends
B．children can play with dogs while reading
C．dogs can provide encouragement for shy children
D．children and dogs understand each other
小題3:By saying “The Salt Lake City Public Library is sold on the idea”, the writer means the library ____________.
A. uses dogs to attract children.
B. accepts the idea put forward by ITA.
C. has opened a children's department.    
D. has decided to train some dogs.
小題4: A “paw graphed” book is most probably_____________.
A．a(chǎn) book used in Saturday classes
B．a(chǎn) book written by the children
C．a(chǎn) prize for the children
D．a(chǎn) gift from parents

Have you ever noticed that the more you have the more you want? Let’s face it. Thinking our life is good enough doesn’t come naturally to many people. When we have high expectations of everything in life we will run into disappointment. Only when we are aware that needs are different from desires can we live with satisfaction. Here are a few ideas to help you be happier with what you have and who you are.
Focus on what you are thankful for. Most people want things to be better than they are, or when things are going well, we forget to appreciate what we have. Learn to reflect on how much better things are than they could be. Focus on what you are thankful for. Write down 5 things you are grateful for right now.
When we hold onto regrets from decisions we have made, it can really poison our well-being. Many people regret something they can no longer change, which ends up holding them back from moving forward in a more positive manner. What happened in the past is done and gone, so work to stay present and be mindful of the current moment to find more joy and fulfillment.
When we use other people as the measuring stick for our personal success and quality of life we are likely to be less satisfied. Social comparisons can provide useful information when we try to learn from others, but they also hold our perspective in a discontented position. Compare yourself less with others so you can be satisfied more.
When you are focused on your big ambitions and future goals you might elide the daily pleasures that surround you. Learn to slow down and absorb the wonder and beauty around you. Stay present and focus on the task you’re undertaking at the moment. Don’t let the life pass you by because you’re always on the go and distracted by ambition.
Practice looking at life through the lens of contentment and it will become more natural.
小題1:How can we live with contentment?
A．To change our lifestyle.
B．To have a motivation in life.
C．To give less attention to what we are grateful for.
D．To realize the difference between needs and desires.
小題2:What’s the main idea of Paragraph 3?
A．Make wise decisions.B．Know the present situation
C．Let go of regrets.D．Remember the past.
小題3:The underlined word “elide”(in Paragraph 5) probably means “__”.
A．enjoyB．changeC．createD．neglect
小題4:What should you do to put yourself in a good mood?
A．Make time for simple pleasures.
B．Learn from successful people.
C．Focus on your future goals.
D．Create chance to learn more.

Many of us dream of having thousands and thousands of dollar to spend on what we desire We can buy lottery tickets, enter contests or spend hours building a business or invest in the stock market. We are sure that when we have plenty of money, we will be happy.
While having some money does have an impact on our level of happiness, having a lot of money does not. It is reported that Americans whose income goes from $20,000 a year to $50,000 a year are more likely to be happy. But beyond $50,000, happiness does not increase as salaries go up. It is because we are never satisfied. Catherine Sanderson, a psychology professor at Amherst College says, "We always think if we just had a little more money, we’d be happier. But when we get there, we are not."
Daniel Gilbert, a psychology professor at Harvard notes,"The more you make, the more you want. The more you have, the less it brings you joy. We incorrectly assume we’Il get more pleasure from more, and we don’t."
The things money can buy don't make you happy either. A lot of research suggests that you won't find the "good life" buying expensive "toys". You finally buy that BMW you've always wanted and it soon loses its appeal. Then, instead of wondering if a new car is what really makes you happy, you decide you just need a different new car. It is an endless cycle.
To really be happy, you need to understand what makes you happy in the first place. One secret of happiness is people. Surveys have found that people need people. Those who have five or more close friends are 50% more likely to describe themselves as "very happy". Good relationships have a far greater effect on happiness than larger salary. Andrew Oswald, an economist at England's University of Warwick says, "B you are looking for happiness in life, find the right husband or wife rather than trying to double your salary."
So invest your time and energy in people. The reward is much bigger in terms of happiness!
小題1:In Paragraph 1 the author intends to tell us the "belief" that
A．we are unhappy because we often lack money
B．people can buy what they want if they have enough money
C．more money will make one's dreams come true
D．happiness will result from more money
小題2:Which of the following statements would the author agree to?
A．Having some money brings happiness to some degree.
B．The more money one earns, the sadder one becomes
C．Buying expensive things will surely bring pleasure
D．We get nothing from buying expensive things we want.
小題3:Why does happiness not increase with pay rises?
A．Most of us have a psychological problem.
B．People are not content with what they get.
C．It is human nature to be unhappy.
D．Happiness has nothing to do with money.
小題4:In order to find happiness we should
A．a(chǎn)lways make new friendsB．take no notice of our salaries
C．focus on good relationshipsD．invest our money in our friend

科目：高中英語(yǔ) 來(lái)源：不詳 題型：閱讀理解

There are two types of people in the world. Although they have equal degree of health, wealth and other comforts of life, one becomes happy and 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 and 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 (冒犯) many people, and make themselves disagreeable everywhere. If this turn of mind was sounded in nature, such unhappy persons would be the more to be pitied. The intention of criticizing and being disliked is perhaps taken up by imitation. It grows into a habit, unknown to its possessors. The habit may be strong, but it may be cured when those who have realized 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 all 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 wrong doings. These people 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 with them. Otherwise, it can be disagreeable and sometimes very inconvenient, especially when one becomes mixed up in their quarrels.
小題1:People who are unhappy                   ．
A．a(chǎn)lways consider things differently from others
B．usually are affected by the results of certain things
C．usually misunderstand what others think or say
D．a(chǎn)lways discover the unpleasant side of certain things
小題2:The phrase “sour the pleasure of society” most probably means“              .”
A．have a good taste with social lifeB．make others unhappy
C．tend to scold others openly D．enjoy the pleasure of life
小題3: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
小題4:If such unhappy persons insist on keeping the habit, the author suggests that people should_______.
A．prevent any communication with them
B．show respect and politeness to them
C．persuade them to recognize the bad effects
D．quarrel with them until they realize the mistakes
小題5:In this passage, the writer mainly __________.
A．describes two types of people
B．laughs at the unhappy people
C．suggests the unhappy people should get rid of the habits of unhappiness
D．tells people how to be unhappy in life

I was blind, but I was ashamed of it if it was known. I refused to use a white stick and hated asking for help. After all, I was a teenager girl, and I couldn't bear people to look at me and think I was not like them. I must have been a terrible danger on the roads, coming across me wandering through the traffic; motorists probably would have to step rapidly on their brakes. Apart from that, there were all sorts of disasters that used to occur on the way to and from work.
One evening, I got off the bus about halfway home where I had to change buses, and as usual I ran into something. "I'm awfully sorry," I said and stepped forward only to run into it again. When it happened a third time, I realized I had been apologizing to a lamppost. This was just one of the stupid things that constantly happened to me. So I carried on and found the bus stop, which was a request stop, where the bus wouldn't stop unless passengers wanted to get on or off. No one else was there and I had to try to guess if the bus had arrived.
Generally in this situation, because I hated showing I was blind by asking for help, I tried to guess at the sound. Sometimes I would stop a big lorry and stand there feeling stupid as it drew away. In the end, I usually managed to swallow my pride and ask someone at the stop for help.
But on this particular evening no one joined me at the stop; it seemed that everyone had suddenly decided not to travel by bus. Of course I heard plenty of buses pass, or I thought I did. But because I had given up stopping them for fear of making a fool of myself, I let them all go by. I stood there alone for half an hour without stopping one. Then I gave up. I decided to walk on to the next stop.
小題1:The girl refused to ask for help because she thought_________
A．she might be recognized
B．a(chǎn)sking for help looked silly
C．she was normal and independent
D．being found blind was embarrassing
小題2:After the girl got off the bus that evening, she_________.
A．began to run
B．hit a person as usual
C．hit a lamppost by accident
D．was caught by something
小題3:At the request stop that evening, the girl___________.
A．stopped a big lorry
B．stopped the wrong bus
