    11．When asked about happiness，we usually think of something extraordinary，an absolute delight，which seems to get rarer as we get older．
    For kids，happiness has a magical quality．Their delight at winning a race or getting a new bike is unreserved（毫不掩饰的）．
    In the teenage years，the concept of happiness changes．Suddenly It's conditional on such things as excitement，love and popularity．I can still recall the excitement of being invited to dance with the most attractive boy at the school party．
    In adulthood the things that bring deep joy-love，marriage，birth-also bring responsibility and the risk of loss．For adults，happiness is complex．
    My definition of happiness is"the capacity for enjoyment"．The more we can enjoy what we have，the happier we are．It's easy to overlook（忽视） the pleasure we get from the company of friends，the freedom to live where we please，and even good health．
    I experienced my little moments of pleasure yesterday．First I was overjoyed when I shut the last lunch-box and had the house to myself．Then I spent an uninterrupted morning writing，which I love．When the kids and my husband came home，I enjoyed their noise after the quiet of the day．
    Psychologists tell us that to be happy we need a mix of enjoyable leisure time and satisfying work．I don't think that my grandmother，who raised 14children，had much of either．She did have a network of close friends and family，and maybe this is what satisfied her most．
    We，however，with so many choices and such pressure to succeed in every area，have turned happiness into one more thing we've got to have．We've so self-conscious about our"right"to it that it's making us miserable．So we chase it and equal it with wealth and success，without noticing that the people who have those things aren't necessarily happier．
    Happiness isn't about what happens to us-it's about how we see what happens to us．It's the skillful way of finding a positive for every negative．It's not wishing for what we don't have，but enjoying what we do possess．
    29．As people grow older，theyB．
    A．care less about their happiness   
    B．feel it harder to experience happiness
    C．will take fewer risks in pursuing happiness       
    D．tend to believe responsibility means happiness
    30．What can we learn about the author from Paragraph 5and 6？D
    A．She cares little about her own health
    B．She enjoys the freedom of traveling
    C．She prefers getting pleasure from loneliness       
    D．She is easily pleased by things in daily life
    31．People who equal happiness with wealth and successA．
    A．stress their right to happiness too much    
    B．consider pressure something blocking their way
    C．are at a loss to make correct choices   
    D．are more likely to be happy
    32．What can be concluded from the passage？C
    A．Happiness lies in wealth
    B．Each man is the servant of his own life
    C．Happy is he who is content
    D．Success leads to Happiness．

    分析 本文是一篇议论文．作者通过自己的经历告诉我们什么是真正的幸福，我们应该如何获得自己想要的幸福．

    解答 BD  AC
    29  B     细节理解题．由文章第一段中的"…which seems to get rarer the older we get．"可知，人们越老越觉得很难获得幸福．故选B．
    30 D   推理判断题．在第五段作者讲述了自己的幸福观；在第六段作者讲述了自己因能够不受打扰地写作而感到幸福，安静过后一家人在一起喧闹也感到幸福．由此可知作者对日常生活是容易满足的．故选D．
    31  A   细节理解题．由文章倒数第二段最后一句"She did have a network of close friends and family，and maybe this is what satisfied her"可知，我们追逐幸福并以财富和成功来衡量它，却没注意到那些拥有财富和成功的人们并不一定更幸福．由此可知，以财富和成功来衡量幸福的人其实是对幸福施加了太多的压力．故选A．
    32   C  主旨大意题．从作者对于幸福的论述我们可以看出，幸福就是对于自己已经拥有的感到满足，而过分追求财富和成功只能给自己更大的压力，故选C．

    点评 做阅读理解时要快速的浏览全文，把握文章主旨大意，带着问题回到原文，寻找细节或概括相应的答案，最后要理清作者写作思路．

    1．Imagine looking for your lost dog．You step into a cave（洞穴）．But instead of the dog，you find beautiful cave paintings．You see paintings of horses，deer，and bison that are drawn in black，brown，red and yellow．Your first question would probably be"Who did this？"
    This is what happened to four French boys in 1940．They found the Lascaux caves．The paintings the boys discovered in those caves are 17，000years old．They were drawn by the ancient people called Cro-Magnons．
    Cro-Magnons looked much like people of today．They used tools，such as fishing nets．But their art was extremely good．The main cave at Lascaux is called the Great Hall of Bulls，which has a picture of bulls and horses in many colors．The largest animal is 18feet long．There are smaller animals，such as bison，stags（雄鹿） and a bear．There is also a strange spotted two-horned （两只角的） animal．
    To the left of the main cave are the most famous paintings that are the drawings of multicolored animals．One painting is called Little Horses．On the ceiling are horses and cows．The most unusual sight may be in the Shaft of the Dead Man where there is a thinoceros （犀牛），a carefully drawn dead man，a wounded bison and a bird．
    Why did Cro-Magnon artists do these beautiful drawings on cave walls？Did the drawings call upon some magical power？Did the Cro-Magnon people hope that the drawings would bring good luck？There is one thing the paintings seem to tell us．The Cro-Magnons were interested in the world．They looked at beauty and they understood it．

    21．The author uses the word"you"in the first paragraph toA．
    A．pull the reader into the story   
    B．make it clear that this is a true story
    C．give the reader good directions to find the caves
    D．compare present-day readers with the Cro-Magnon people
    22．Most of the drawings in the caves are aboutD．
    A．boys               B．tools       
    C．dead men           D．animals
    23．What is the main idea of the passage？C
    A．Cave paintings are beautiful．
    B．Who found the beautiful cave paintings．
    C．The Lascanx caves hold ancient colorful paintings．
    D．Drawings of horses are on the walls of the Lascaux caves．

    1．The most famous war movies reflect the American public's continuous fascination with World War II and the Vietnam War．Many movies of this kind have been well-received when they were first shown，but few of them have enjoyed lasting fame and popularity．The films on the list of the five most famous war movies still remain fresh and are popular among many people．
    The Longest Day
    An all-star cast recreates D-Day and the Normandy attack，the greatest landing and aerial（空中的） invasion in history．This is probably the most famous war movie because of the large number of big stars who have roles in the film．
    Apocalypse Now
    This is a famous war movie because of its description of the Vietnam War and excellent performance from Marlon Brando，Martin Sheen and Robert Duvall．The film，full of memorable scenes and quotes，is widely viewed as a masterpiece of movie making．
    The Dirty Dozen
    Lee Marvin，playing an officer who thinks and acts independently，is appointed to train twelve prisoners，most of whom have been sentenced to death，to go on a suicide mission to kill several Nazi generals．If any of the men makes it back，they may get a pardon．This is one of the most popular war movies ever made．
    Platoon
    This famous war movie is the fictional account of a platoon（排） in Vietnam that is divided into two competing groups．The plot is partly based on the director Oliver Stone's real life experience．
    Midway
    This is probably the most famous war movie ever made about navy．It's based on the battle between Japanese and American aircraft carrier groups near Hawaii in World War II that resulted in a decisive American victory．

    8．Where should an adventurous tourist go？After you've done sightseeing in London，shopping in New York，enjoyed the local food in Paris，and danced to your heart's content at the Brazilian carnival，where else can you go？What attractive tourist destination awaits you？
    Well，Antarctica sounds like the holiday of a lifetime!It's considered the last great wilderness on Earth．Just a few scientists in research stations share the icy landscape with penguins and other animals which can struggle with the low temperatures．
    Tourism began in Antarctica in the 1950s and it's still small part．About 37，000 tourists are expected there this season，but many won't even leave the boat．
    The BBC's Juliet Rix visited the frozen continent and asked herself if she should be there at all，causing potential problems to such a sensitive environment．Her tour guide admitted that all visitors leave a footprint and they all go to the same places，the accessible coastline，which is also where the penguins and seals go to raise．
    But some people believe that if carefully controlled，tourism can be good for Antarctica．It has no native population and it needs advocates．Visitors to the icy continent might be ready to support and even to fund its preservation．And they're likely to engage in the discussion about global warming，which has led to the melting of glaciers．
    According to Rix，guidelines are followed when you're about to set foot in Antarctica and tourists have to disinfect（消毒）their boots to make sure no alien species are introduced．
    And once on land，there's no eating or smoking．Rocks，bone fragments-nothing should be taken as a souvenir and nothing should be left behind．
    Tourists fortunate enough to visit the Antarctic must be aware that this is not their home and keep their fingers crossed that future generations will also be able to enjoy such breathtaking views．

    28．Who lives in Antarctica？C
    A.37，000 tourists．
    B．The BBC's Juliet Rix．
    C．A few scientists and animals．
    D．People in London and Paris．
    29．Why can tourism be good for Antarctica？B
    A．People can bring some animals into it．
    B．People may take interest in the protection of it．
    C．People can give advice to the native population．
    D．People will go to the coastline to play with the seals．
    30．What are the guidelines when you go on the shore？D
    A．You can leave rubbish on the shore．
    B．You can smoke and eat on the shore．
    C．You can take something as souvenirs．
    D．You can help to protect the environment．
    31．What is the author's attitude towards the tourists going to Antarctica？A
    A．Positive．  B．Ambiguous．  C．Subjective．   D．Negative．

    5．It's often said that the eye is the window to the soul．But in this case，the eye is the window to Windows．At least，that was the goal when EyeTech Digital Systems got the help of some BYU engineering students in creating an all-in-one eye-tracking system．
    The idea behind the project was to create an inexpensive computer system that could be controlled completely with a person's eyes．The hope was that this system could be used by people  with disabilities in parts of the world where they can't afford expensive eye-tracking systems．The students created the tablet（书写板）for their yearlong engineering project for their customer，EyeTech Digital Systems，an Arizona-based company that designs and develops eye-tracking software．
    A separate BYU engineering team also worked with EyeTech last year to develop and improve the initial eye-tracking tephnology，but this year's focus was to put the eye tracking into a housing similar to a thick PC．The finished product runs Windows 7 and has the eye-tracking system built in．After a quick adjustment，the system can move the mouse to wherever the user is currently looking．All it takes is a blink（眨眼）to click．
    Systems with similar abilities can cost upwards of 14，000．Butthestudentswereabletofindcheaper，readilyavailableparts，pushingthecostdowntounder1，500．Jedediah Nieveen，the captain for this year's team，said the project was a challenge，but one that was rewarding on many levels．"A lot of times in school you just work problems out of books，"he said．"But this allowed us to take what we learned and apply it to something in real life，something that can help a lot of people，and that's really helped me．"
    Although the primary purpose of the product is to help people with disabilities，the technology could also have broader applications in the fields of research，advertising and even gaming．
    71．According to the text，the eye-tracking system isB   
    A．a high-tech computer                                    
    B．a computer system operated by eyes
    C．a way of protecting eyes                                
    D．a software against information theft
    72．How long will the research of the eye-tracking project last in all？A
    A．About two years．                   
    B．Just one year．
    C．Over three years．                  
    D．Less than one year．
    73．The eye-tracking system was created toC   
    A．help the poor students                                  
    B．improve the computer system
    C．support the disabled people                             
    D．help to cure people's disabilities
    74．What did the BYU engineering students value most during the project？B
    A．Earning money for their education．
    B．Putting their theory into practice．
    C．Showing their talents in technology．
    D．Increasing their job opportunities．
    75．What can be inferred about the future of the eye-tracking system？A
    A．It may face a promising market．
    B．It is welcome only to the disabled people．
    C．It'll change the disabled people's social position．
    D．It can improve the disabled people's main way of life．

    6．Most drinks stating that they are fruit-flavored （水果味道的） contain no fruit at all，while most of the rest contain only a small quantity of fruit，according to a study carried by the British Food Commission．
    "Shoppers need to check the labels（标签）before buying drinks，though sometimes the actual content can be non-existent，"said Food Commission spokesperson Lan Tokelove．"Food production is highly competitive（71）D．It will increase profits，and consumers won't always realize they are 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．（72）COf the 11 products 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．（73）BLet's take jam as an example．Some strawberry-flavored jam was labeled as containing no artificial colors，flavors，or sweeteners，but it contained absolutely no strawberries at all．（74）GConsumers have the rights to know clearly about what they have bought．Under current UK law．Food packages do no not have to distinguish between natural and artificial flavoring．"Describing a product as strawberry flavor and covering the surface of the packed with pictures of stawberries is misleading．（75）FUnfortunatcly，it is also legal and widespread，"Tokelove said．
       
    A．The products which contain real fruit are popular with people．
    B．Even products advertised as more natural often contained no fruit．
    C．They found that about 60 percent of them didn't contain any fruit at all．
    D．If companies can cut their costs by using flavoring，they are likely to do so．
    E．It is important and necessary to demand a small amount of flavoring in the products．
    F．Actually the product contains just a tiny percentage of strawberry or even no fruit at all．
    G．The Food Commission suggested all flavors used in a product should be listed on the packaging．
