10.Perhaps you think you could easily add to your happiness with more money.Strange as it may seem,if you're unsatisfied,the issue is not a lack of means to meet your desires but a lack of desires-not that you cannot satisfy your tastes but that you don't have enough tastes.
Real riches consist of well-developed and hearty capacities(能力)to enjoy life.Most people are already swamped(淹沒)with things.They eat,wear,go and talk too much.They live in too big a house with too many rooms,yet their house of life is a hut.
Your house of life ought to be a mansion(豪宅),a royal palace.Every new taste,every additional interest,every fresh enthusiasm adds a room.Here are several rooms your house of life should have.
Art should be a desire for you to develop simply because the world is full of beautiful things.If you only understood how to enjoy them and feed your spirit on them,they would make you as happy as to find plenty of ham and eggs when you're hungry.
Literature,classic literature,is a beautiful,richly furnished room where you might find many an hour of rest and refreshment.To gain that love would go toward making you a rich person,for a rich person is not someone who has a library but who likes a library.
Music like Mozart's and Bach's shouldn't be absent.Real riches are of the spirit.And when you've brought that spirit up to where classical music feeds it and makes you a little drunk,you have increased your thrills and bettered them.And life is a matter of thrills.
Sports,without which you remain poor,mean a lot in life.No matter who you are,you would be more human,and your house of life would be better supported against the bad days,if you could,and did,play a bit.Whatever rooms you might add to your house of life,he secret of enjoying life is to keep adding.
59.The author intends to tell us thatC.
A.true happiness lies in achieving wealth by fair means
B.big houses are people's most valued possessions
C.true happiness comes from spiritual riches
D.big houses can in a sense bring richness of life
60.The underlined sentence in the second paragraph probably implies thatA.
A.however materially rich,they remain spiritually poor
B.however materially rich,they never seem to be satisfied
C.though their house is big,they prefer a simple life
D.though their house is big,it seems to be a cage
61.It can be learned from the passage thatB.
A.more money brings more happiness    
B.literature can enrich your spiritual life
C.a(chǎn)rt is needed to make your house beautiful
D.sports contribute mainly to your physical fitness
62.What would be the best title for the passage?D
A.Interest and Enthusiasm                     
B.Secret of Wealth 
C.Rest and Refreshment                        
D.House of Life.

分析 這是一篇議論文.很多人物質(zhì)上非常豐富,住豪宅,享美食.但是他們真正幸福嗎?他們的內(nèi)心生活的"房子"又是如何呢?這篇文章論證了精神富有與真正快樂之間的關系.有些人物質(zhì)上富足,精神上卻很貧窮.文學可以豐富人們的精神生活,真正的快樂來自于精神的富有.

解答 59.C 推理判斷題.根據(jù)文章4,5,6,7段第一句"Art should be a desire for you…"和"Literature,classic literature,is a beautiful,richly furnished room…"和"Music like Mozart's and Bach's shouldn't be absent."和"Sports,without which you remain poor,mean a lot in life."真正幸福的人需要懂或者擁有:藝術,文學,音樂和運動等,而這些主要是與我們精神上的豐富有關系的.也就是說真正的幸福是精神上的富有.再聯(lián)系全文最后一句話Whatever rooms you might add to your house of life,the secret of enjoying life is to keep adding.可知,真正的快樂來自于精神的富有.故答案選C.
60.A 推理判斷題.根據(jù)第二自然段的前兩句話"Real riches consist of well-developed and hearty capacities (能力) to enjoy life.Most people are already swamped(淹沒) with things.They eat,wear,go and talk too much."可知,劃線句子的意思是他們物質(zhì)上富足,精神上卻很貧窮,故答案選A.
61.B 細節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)第五自然段"Literature,classic literature,is a beautiful,richly furnished room where you might find many an hour of rest and refreshment."可知文學可以豐富你的精神生活,故答案選B.
62.D 標題判斷題.文章多次提到了房子,且這篇文章論證了精神富有與真正快樂之間的關系.作者在文章里告訴我們,要想得到內(nèi)心的幸福,需要了解藝術,文學,音樂等等不同的內(nèi)容來豐富我們的內(nèi)心世界.A項中House of Life涵蓋了這些內(nèi)容.故答案選D.

點評 本文是科教類閱讀理解.做這類題材閱讀理解時要求考生對文章通讀一遍,做題時結(jié)合原文和題目有針對性的找出相關語句進行仔細分析,結(jié)合選項選出正確答案.推理判斷題也是要在抓住關鍵句子的基礎上合理的分析才能得出正確答案,切忌胡亂猜測,一定要做到有理有據(jù).

20.Most people who move to a foreign country or culture may experience a period of time when they feel very homesick and have a lot of stress.This feeling is often called‘culture shock'(56)G There are four general stages of cultural adjustment.
The first stage is usually referred to as the excitement stage.Upon arriving in a new environment,you'll be interested in the new culture,everything will seem exciting,everyone will seem friendly and helpful and you'll be overwhelmed(不知所措) with impressions.(57).Cand you have little meaningful experience of the culture.
The second stage is sometimes called the withdrawal stage.The excitement you felt before changes to frustration (沮喪)as you find it difficult to deal with the problems that arise.simple things like shopping and going to the bank are challenges.It is at this stage that you are likely to feel anxious homesick.(58)B
Culture shock doesn't exist long.You gradually get into the‘recovery'stage.At this point,you'll have a routine,and you'll feel less lonely as you start to understand and accept the way things are done and the way people behave in your new environment.Customs and traditions are clearer and easier to understand.(59)F
The last stage is the‘home'stage-this is the point when people start to feel at home in the new culture.
There is a fifth stage to this process.If you decide to return home after a long period in a new culture,you may experience what is called‘reverse culture shock'.(60)E you may notice things about your home culture that you had never noticed before,and some of the ways people do things may seem strange.

A.It is a great challenge to learn the totally new culture.
B.This is the stage which is referred to as"culure shock"
C.During this stage you are taking in these impressions passively
D.Some people experience"culture shock"more sharply than others.
E.This means that you may find aspects of your own culture"foreign"
F.At this stage,you'll deal with new challenges with humor rather than anxiety.
G.It's important to learn how to deal with it if you're to adapt to the new culture.

1.Editor Henry Slocum,
For me,with great interest,I am very glad to read your May 10th article in the local newspaper Honesdale Times about electronic books,or e-books.You made several good points about the disadvantages of e-books.You may have overlooked,however,some of the ways in which they are superior to traditional books.Yes,e-books are expensive,but they are also convenient.In addition,due to their environment-friendly nature,e-books have the potential to change our planet for the better.
E-books,for anyone who is unfamiliar with the term,are about the same size and shape as regular books.They have a large screen in the middle,however.This screen shows the reader a  page of text that has been downloaded from a computer.Once the reader has finished reading the  page on the e-book screen.he or she scrolls down to see a new page.The process continues until the entire book has been read.
As you pointed out.Mr.Slocum,it's great to lie on a warm,sandy beach with a book.You can do that just as easily with an e-book as you can with a traditional paper book.In fact,because e-books are so light,you can carry them anywhere.Say,for example,that you like to read on the bus.Which would you rather carry with you-a heavy 800-page novel,or an e-book that weighs only a few ounces(盎司)?
Another important advantage is offered by e-books as well.They are more environmentfriendly than traditional books.At present,thousands of trees are cut down each year to meet the publishing industry's demand for paper.Books that don't sell are eventually returned to the Dublisher and destroyed.This terrible waste could be avoided if everyone used e-books,which require no paper.
Sincerely,
David Eng

25.What does Editor Henry Slocum think about e-books?B
A.Interesting     B.Expensive     
C.Convenient      D.Environment-friendly
26.What is mainly talked about in Paragraph 2?A
A.What an e-book is.                  
B.Why e-books are popular.
C.How e-books have developed.         
D.Who are the readers of e-books.
27.In David's letter,he thinks thatC
A.E-books will come down in price
B.E-books come in various sizes and shapes
C.E-books do little harm to the environment
D.E-books are no better than traditional books
28.The main purpose of the letter is toD
A.explain how to read e-books
B.honor the person who invented e-books
C.scold publishers for wasting so much paper
D.provide evidence that e-books are a good idea.

18.What's critical thinking?(56)EDeveloping critical thinking skills in a child through the right critical thinking exercises is very important.
(57)C Critical thinking is to evaluate(評價)the reason behind a particular fact.All possible viewpoints must be thought about before analyzing a fact,and this develops problem-solving skills in a child.
(58)G

Critical thinking exercises are not intended to make your child intelligent,but it is about making him successful in his decision-making ability and helping him make a successful career.Although thinking habits are cultivated(培養(yǎng))in early childhood through exercises,they are indeed helpful for a lifetime.

A.This will increase his ability to think about the things he's just learned in class.
B.Toys that will make your kids exercise can help you develop your thinking.
C.Critical thinking develops the ability of subjective analysis of a particular fact.
D.The following tips are for you to develop your critical thinking at home.

F.Ask your child to identify the names of the flowers,fruits and animals from a colorful chart.
G.Here are some exercises you can use to encourage your child to think critically.
