7、填空（共20小题，每题1.5分，共30分）One effective way of destroying happiness is to look at something and focus on even the smallest fault. Its like looking at the tiled (铺瓦的) ceiling and concentrating on the space where one tile is 11 . Once I heard a bald man said, “Whenever I enter a room, 12 I see is hair.” On

8、ce youve 13 what your missing tile is, explore whether acquiring it will 14 make you happy. Then do one of the three things: get it, replace it with a different 15 , or forget about it and 16 the tiles in your life that are not missing.We all know people who have had a relatively 17 life, yet are es

9、sentially unhappy while people who have suffered a great deal but 18 remain happy.The first 19 is gratitude. All happy people are 20 . Ungrateful people cannot be happy. We tend to think that being unhappy leads people to 21 , but its truer to say that complaining leads people to becoming unhappy.Th

10、e second secret is 22 that happiness is a byproduct (副产品) of something else. The most obvious 23 are those pursuits(追求）that give our lives purposeanything 24 studying insects to playing baseball. The more passions we have, the more happiness we are 25 to experience.Finally, the belief that something

11、 permanent goes beyond us and that our 26 has some larger meaning can help us to feel happier. We 27 a spiritual faith, or a philosophy of life. Whatever your philosophy is, it should 28 this truth: if you choose to find the 29 in every situation, you will be blessed, and if you choose to find the a

Largely第二部分：阅读理解（共两节，共25小题，满分50分）第一节(共20 小题；每小题2分，满分40分) A Among various programs, TV talk shows have covered every inch of space on daytime television. And anyone who watches them regularly knows that each one is different in style(风格). B

16、ut no two shows are more opposite in content, while at the same time standing out above the rest, than the Jerry Springer and the Oprah Winfrey shows. Jerry Springer could easily be considered the king of “rubbish talk”. The contents on his show are as surprising as can be. For example, the show tak

17、es the ever-common talk show titles of love, sex, cheating, and hate, to a different level. Clearly, the Jerry Springer show is about the dark side of society, yet people are willing to eat up the troubles of other peoples lives. Like Jerry Springer, Oprah Winfrey takes TV talk show to its top. But

18、Oprah goes in the opposite direction. The show is mainly about the improvement of society and different quality(质量) of life. Contents are from teaching your children lessons, managing your work week, to getting to know your neighbors. Compared to Oprah, the Jerry Springer show looks like poisonous w

19、aste being poured into society. Jerry ends every show with a “final word”. He makes a small speech about the entire idea of the show. Hopefully, this is the part where most people will learn something very valuable. Clean as it is, the Oprah show is not for everyone. The shows main viewers are middl

20、eclass Americans. Most of these people have the time, money, and ability to deal with lifes tough problems. Jerry Springer, on the other hand, has more of a connection with the young adults of society. These are 18-to-21-year-olds whose main troubles in life include love, relationship, sex, money an

21、d drug. They are the ones who see some value and lessons to be learned through the shows exploitation.31. Compared with other TV talk shows, both the Jerry Springer and the Oprah Winfrey are _. A. more interesting. B. unusually popular. C. more detailed. D. more formal.32. Though the social problems

22、 Jerry Springer talks about appear unpleasant, people who watch the shows_. A. remain interested in them. B. are ready to face up to them. C. remain cold to them. D. are willing to get away from them.33. Which of the following is likely to be a topic of the Oprah Winfrey show? A. A new type of robot

23、. B. Nation hatred(憎恨). C. Family income planning. D. Street accident.34. We can learn from the passage that the two talk shows_.A. have become the only ones of its kind. B. exploit the weaknesses in human nature.C. appear at different times of the day. D. attract different people. B If you have a c

24、hance to go to Finland, you will probably be surprised to find how “foolish” the Finnish people are. Take the taxi drivers for example. Taxis in Finland are mostly high-class Benz with a fare of two US dollars a kilometer. You can go anywhere in one, tell the driver to drop you at any place, say tha

25、t you have some business to attend to, and then walk off without paying your fare. The driver would not show the least sign of anxiety. The dining rooms in all big hotels not only serve their guests, but also serve outside diners. Hotel guests have their meals free, so they naturally go to the free

26、dining rooms to have their meals. The most they would do to show their good faith is to wave their registration card to the waiter. With such a loose check, you can easily use any old registration card to take a couple of friends to dine free of charge. The Finnish workers are paid by the hour. They

27、 are very much on their own as soon as they have agreed with the boss on the rate. From then on they just say how many hours they have worked and they will be paid accordingly. With so many loopholes(漏洞) in everyday life, surely Finland must be a heaven to those who love to take “petty advantages”.

28、But the strange thing is, all the taxi passengers would always come back to pay their fare after they have attended to their business; not a single outsider has ever been found in the free hotel dining rooms. And workers always give an honest account of the exact hours they put in. As the Finns alwa

29、ys act on good faith in everything they do, living in such a society has turned everyone into a real “gentleman”. In a society of such high moral practice, what need is there for people to be on guard against others? 35.We can know from the passage that in Finland_. . A.both hotel guests and outside

30、 diners are served food free of charge B.big hotels provide meals for all kinds of diners C.guests can enjoy free food once they stayed in the hotel D.big hotels are mostly poorly managed36.Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage? A.Generally speaking, in Finland, workers can get

31、 more pay by working long hours. B.The bosses are too busy to check the working hours of their employees. C.The workers are always honest with their working hours. D.The workers and their bosses will make an agreement in advance about the pay.37.The underlined word “those” in the 5th paragraph proba

32、bly refers to people _. A.who often take taxis B.who often have meals in big hotels C.who are dishonest D.who are on guard against others38.It can be concluded that _. A.Finnish people are really foolish in daily life B.Finland has been a good place for cheats C.the Finnish society is of very high m

33、oral level D.all the Finns are rich and therefore honestC How would you like to sleep with one half your brain asleep and the other half awake? Dolphins sleep this way. Recently , scientists at Indiana State University have discovered that ducks sleep this way too. They found that ducks sleep half a

34、wake so they can rest and watch for danger at the same time. After putting their ducks in a row and videotaping them, some researchers found ducks on the end of each row spent more time asleep with one eye open ,apparently looking for predators. “The more the ducks felt threatened ,the more they sle

35、pt with one eye open,” said lead author Niels C. Rattenborg ,a graduate student at Indiana State University ,Terre Haute .”the unique aspect is not that they do it ,but that they control it . When they sleep at the edge of a group ,they tend to realize greater danger ,so they spend more time sleepin

36、g with one half of their brain.” Ducks with one eye open were still awake enough to detect predators ,said the authors of the study ,which appears today in the journal Nature. The researchers studied four groups of four ducks held in plastic boxes ,which were arranged in a row .Ducks on the end were

37、 found to sleep with one eye open 31.8 per cent of the time, compared to 12.4 percent of the time for ducks in the central position. Also ,ducks in the central position did not open one eye more than the others, while ducks on each end kept the eye facing away from the group open 86.2 per cent of th

38、e time. Brain wave readings of the ducks showed that the half of the brain receiving signals from the closed eye indicated that half of the brain was sleeping. Signals from the half of the brain receiving signals from the open eye showed a state between fully awake and asleep.39. It was discovered t

39、hat_ . A.most people would like to be half asleep B.ducks can sleep half awake C.dolphins sleep on their way D.ducks have different sleeping habits from each other40. A predator is most likely to be_ . A.an animal that hunts ,kills and eats other animals B.a human being who looks after and feeds duc

40、ks C.a scientist who does research work on animals D.an animal that is likely to be friends with ducks41. Ducks at the end of each row sleep with one eye open because_ . A.they are looking for food B.they want to enjoy the scenery C.they are watching out for danger D.they are unique in their sleepin

41、g habit42. How many ducks were used in the experiment? A. Four B. Eight C. Twelve D. Sixteen43.Which of the following is true according to the passage? A.Ducks on the northern end of a row would keep their eye facing the south open. B.Ducks with less sense of duty usually choose to stay in the cente

42、r of a row. C.Ducks with one eye open at the edge can still enjoy a certain degree of sleep. D.A video tape recorder was the only electronic device used in the experimentD One summer evening I was sitting by the open window, reading a good science storybook. I was so interested in the story I was re

43、ading that I did not notice that it was getting dark. When I realized it was too dark for me to read easily, I put the book down and got up to turn on the light. Just then I heard someone crying, “Help! Help!” It seemed to come from the trees at the other end of the yard. I looked out but it was now

44、 too dark to see anything clearly. Almost immediately I heard the cry again. It sounded like a child, but I could not imagine what anybody could be doing in our backyard, unless one of the neighborhood children had climbed a tree and had not been able to get down. I decided that I should go out and

45、have a look in the yard, just in case someone was in trouble. I turned on the light and found for myself a flashlight and a stick in the room. I thought they might be useful. Armed with these, I went out into the yard. Once again I heard the cry and this time there was no doubt that it came from the

46、 trees at the far end of the yard. “Whos there?” I called out as I walked across the yard towards the trees. But there was no answer. With the help of my flashlight, I searched all over that end of the yard, including the branches of the tree. There was no sign of anybody or anything. I came to the

47、conclusion that my imagination was playing tricks on me, probably because of the story I was reading about strange creatures on another planet. Feeling rather foolish about hunting around in my own backyard with a baseball bat, I went back into the house and put the bat and the flashlight away. I ha

48、d just sat down to read my book again when I was frightened by the cry of “Help! Help!” from right behind me. I dropped my book and jumped up. There, sitting on the table was a large green and red bird. It was my neighbors parrot（鹦鹉）！ While I was out in the yard, the parrot must have seen the light

49、in the living room and come in through the open window.44.Which of the following is true according to the passage? A.The author heard a cry for help as soon as he put the book down and got up B.Hardly had the author got up and turned on the light when he heard a cry for help C.The author looked out

50、because it was too dark to see anything inside D.A child, whose voice sounded like a parrot, was crying for help on the top of a tree 45.The book the author was reading was _ . A.an ordinary book about science B.a science book on sound C.a science story-book about strange creatures on a certain heav

51、enly body D.a book on how to play tricks on others46.Finally the author found _ . A.that he was a very foolish person B.that he had got used to the cry for help C.a large green and red bird flying into his living room from his neighbors house D.the secretE In the age of reality television, success i

52、snt the only way to the public eye. Failure can also create fame, just like William Hung, 21, a native of Hong Kong. Hung recently has made an agreement with US-based entertainment firms Koch Records and Fuse Music Network. They will publish a full-length record, titled “The True Idol” on April 6. T

53、he idol (偶像) is a civil engineering student at the University of California at Berkeley. He did a version (改写本) of Ricky Martins “She Bangs” on the television show “American Idol 3, on January 27. The Fox TV singing contest searches for pop stars among ordinary people. In the case of Hung, however,

54、his act was so bad that the judges cut him off in mid-act. Hungs response? “I already gave my best, so I have no regrets at all.” Thats interesting, because any common person would have found plenty to regret: the off-key singing, the blue Hawaiian shirt worn with pants pulled up too high, the terri

55、ble dancing, the hips jerking (摇摆) to a beat that did not belong to the song, maybe not even to this planet. It was, by all accounts, bad. But, it was this very bad act that sold well. Marc Juris, president of Fuse, explained it this way: “Every one of us is happily guilty of singing our favorite so

56、ng at the top of our lungs with complete freedom, completely off-key and completely unworried. Thats what William did and immediately won the hearts of America.” Whatever it is, for the moment its big. Three websites devoted to Hung have gone up on the Internet in the past few weeks. Versions of his

57、 performance have been remixed with hip hop and techno music and have made it to the top 10 request list at a Chicago radio station. So, what does Hung think of this? “There were all these people saying things about me. A lot were saying I was very courageous and that I was great on the show, but so

58、me didnt have much respect for me and some were kind of mean.”Now he says hes not so sure whether to distance himself from the glamour (魅力) or to accept it. Returning to normal hasnt been easy.47.What is the main idea of this passage? A. Sometimes an idol behaves quite foolishly. B.Hungs performance

59、 attracted the public eye. C.How an unsuccessful person became famous. D.Success sometimes does not require hard work.48.Hung was popular in America for all the following reasons EXCEPT _ A.his shirt and pantsB.his off-key singing C.his jerking hipsD.his excellent version 49.What does the underlined

60、 word “it” in paragraph 6 refer to? A.William Hung.B.Hungs bad performance. C.Hungs website. D.The publics opinion. 50.Why was Hung able to win the hearts of America? A.His success was based on luck rather than his own hard work. B.He attracted peoples attention and won wide praise in the contest. C

61、.He was good-looking in his pants and shirt though he didnt sing well. D.In the contest he did what every one of us is happy to do in daily life.第二节 段意信息匹配(共5 小题；每小题2分，满分10分)AArgue with your boss everything you wantBMake the issues clearCWatch your timingDDont go in when you are angryEPropose your s
