Question

【題目】閱讀理解
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 deserted 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 had days, if you could, and did, play a bit.
Whatever rooms you might add to your house of life, the secret of enjoying life is to keep adding.

【解析】本文是一篇議論文，論證了精神富有與真正快樂之間的關系。有些人物質上富足，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。
（1）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)最后一段中的”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。故選D。
（2）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第二段中的”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上富足，精神上卻很貧窮，故選B。
（3）考查細節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第五段中的”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. “可知文學可以豐富你的精神生活，故選C。
（4）考查主旨大意。本文多次提到了房子，且這篇文章論證了精神富有與真正快樂之間的關系，所以這篇文章最好的題目是生活的房子，故選A。
