As the only girl in a family of seven children, she often felt like she had “seven fathers,” because her six brothers, as well as her father, tried to control her. Fe

17、eling shy and unimportant, she retreated(躲避) into books. Despite her love of reading, she did not do well in elementary school because she was too shy to participate.In high school, with the encouragement of one particular teacher, Cisneros improved her grades and worked for the school literary maga

18、zine. Her father encouraged her to go to college because he thought it would be a good way for her to find a husband. Cisneros did attend college, but instead of searching for a husband, she found a teacher who helped her join the famous graduate writing program at the University of Iowa. At the uni

19、versitys Writers Workshop, however, she felt lonely-a Mexican American from a poor neighborhood among students from wealthy families. The feeling of being so different helped Cisneros find her “Creative voice.”“It was not until this moment when I considered myself truly different that my writing acq

20、uired a voice. I knew I was a Mexican woman, but I didnt think it had anything to do with why I felt so much imbalance in my life, but it had everything to do with it! Thats when I decided I would write about something my classmates couldnt write about.”Cisneros published her first work, The House o

21、n Mango Street, when she was twenty-nine. The book tells about a young Mexican American girl growing up in a Spanish-speaking area in Chicago, much like the neighborhoods in which Cisneros lived as a child. The book won an award in 1985 and has been used in classes from high school through graduate

22、school level. Since then, Cisneros has published several books of poetry, a childrens book, and a short-story collection.36. Which of the following is TRUE about Cisneros in her childhood?A. She had seven brothers. B. She felt herself a nobody（小人物）.C. She was too shy to go to school. D. She did not

23、have any good teachers.37. The graduate program gave Cisneros a chance to _. A. develop her writing style B. run away from her family C. make a lot of friends D. work for a school magazine38. According to Cisneros, what played the decisive决定性的 role in her success? A. Her early years in college. B. H

24、er training in the Workshop. C. Her childhood experience D. Her feeling of being different.39. What do we learn about The House on Mango Street? A. It wasnt success as it was written in Spanish. B. It is the only book ever written by Cisneros. C. It is quite popular among students. D. It won an awar

25、d when Cisneros was twenty-nine. BOver the last 70 years, researchers have been studying happy and unhappy people and finally found out ten factors that make a difference. Our feelings of well-being at any moment are determined to a certain degree by genes基因. However, of all the factors, wealth and

26、age are the top two.Money can buy a degree of happiness. But once you can afford to feed, clothe and house yourself, each extra dollar makes less and less difference.Researchers find that, on average, wealthier people are happier. But the link between money and happiness is complex. In the past half

27、-century, average income has sharply increased in developed countries, yet happiness levels have remained almost the same. Once your basic needs are met, money only seems to increase happiness if you have more than your friends, neighbors and colleagues.“Dollars buy status地位, and status makes people

28、 feel better,” conclude some experts, which helps explain why people who can seek status in other waysscientists or actors, for examplemay happily accept relatively poorly-paid jobs.In a research, Professor Alex Michalos found that the people whose desirenot just for money, but for friends, family,

29、job, healthrose furthest beyond what they already had, tended to be less happy than those who felt a smaller gap(差距). Indeed, the size of the gap predicted happiness about five times better than income alone. “The gap measures just blow away the only measures of income.” Says Michalos.Another factor

30、 that has to do with happiness is age. Old age may not be so bad. “Given all the problems of aging, how could the elderly be more satisfied?” asks Professor Laura Carstensen.In one survey, Carstensen interviewed 184 people between the ages of 18 and 94, and asked them to fill out an emotions questio

31、nnaire. She found that old people reported positive emotions just as often as young people, but negative emotions much less often.Why are old people happier? Some scientists suggest older people may expect life to be harder and learn to live with it, or theyre more realistic现实的 about their goals, on

32、ly setting ones that they know they can achieve. But Carstensen thinks that with time running out, older people have learned to focus on things that make them happy and let go of those that dont.“People realize not only what they have, but also that what they have cannot last forever,” she says. “A

33、goodbye kiss to a husband or wife at the age of 85, for example, may bring far more complex emotional responses than a similar kiss to a boy or girl friend at the age of 20.”40According to the passage, the feeling of happiness _.Ahas little to do with wealth Bincreases gradually with ageCis determin

34、ed partly by genes Dis measured by desires41Some actors would like to accept poorly-paid jobs because the jobs _.Amake them feel much better Bimprove their social position Cprovide chances to make friends Dsatisfy their professional interests42Aged people are more likely to feel happy because they a

35、re more _.Aoptimistic Bsuccessful Cpractical Demotional43Professor Alex Michalos found that people feel less happy if _.Athe gap between reality and desire is biggerBthey have a stronger desire for friendshipCtheir income is below their expectationDthe hope for good health is greaterC WASHINGTONTwo-

36、thirds of the worlds polar bear population could be gone by 2050 if predictions of melting sea ice hold true, the US Geological Survey reported on Friday.The fate of polar bears could be even worse than that estimate估计, because sea ice in the Arctic might be disappearing faster than the available co

37、mputer models predict, the geological survey said in a report aimed at determining whether the big white bear should be listed as a threatened species.“There is a definite确切的 link between changes in the sea ice and the welfare安宁 of polar bears,” said Steve Amstrup, who led the research team. He says

38、 Arctic sea ice is already at the lowest this year and is expected to retreat(退却) farther this month.That means that polar bearssome 16,000 of them - will disappear by 2050 from parts of the Arctic where sea ice is melting most rapidly, along the north coasts of Alaska and Russia, researchers said i

39、n a telephone briefing(简报).Other polar bears could survive beyond that date but many of those could be gone by 2100, Amstrup said. By this centurys end, the only polar bears left might live in the Canadian Arctic islands and along the west coast of Greenland.“It is likely to result in loss of approx

40、imately two-thirds of the worlds current polar bear population by the mid 21st century,” the reports executive summary said.“Because the observed trajectory(轨迹)of Arctic sea ice decline appears to be underestimated by currently available models, this assessment of future polar bear status may be con

41、servative(保守的).”In January, the US Fish and Wildlife Service proposed建议 listing the polar bear as a threatened species, noting polar bears depend on sea ice as a platform to hunt seals, their main food.Without enough sea ice, polar bears would be forced onto land, but they are poor hunters once they

42、 get out of the water and ice, the researchers said. The bears disappearance would probably take place as young cubs(幼兽)failed to survive to adulthood and females were unable to reproduce successfully.44. What was the US Geological Survey intended to do?A. To determine whether the polar bear was in

43、danger.B. To measure how fast the sea ice melts in the Arctic.C. To check the predictions of the computer models.D. To find out the exact number of the polar bear.45.

53、re being tricked.” Flavorings are focused on the flavors of natural food products such as fruits, meats and vegetables, or creating flavor for food products that do not have the desired flavors. Researchers analyzed the contents of 28 strawberry-flavored products sold in stores. 52 Of the 11 product

54、s that did contain strawberries, five of them contained less than one percent real fruit. In addition, each juice box contained nearly eight teaspoons of sugar. 53 Lets take jam as an example. Some strawberry-flavored jam was labeled as containing no artificial人造的colors, flavors, or sweeteners, but

55、it contained absolutely no strawberries at all. 54 Consumers have the rights to know clearly about what they have bought. Under current UK law, food packages do not have to distinguish between natural and artificial flavoring. “Describing a product as strawberry flavor and covering the surface of th
