    题目列表(包括答案和解析)

    阅读下列四篇短文，从每小题后所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

    　　Western people rely on technical and mechanical solutions in everything they do．Refrigerators preserve their food, washing machines clean their underwear and computers are supposed to solve all their problems．When they are ill, they rely on the surgeon's knife．If their hearts are running down, then they must be repaired; if they cannot be repaired, they should be replaced, just as an old car sometimes gets a new engine．But up to now we have had a shortage of donors to give their hearts to keep one person alive, another donor had to die．

    　　Nowadays there is more and more talk about using monkeys．Every monkey has a near-human heart, and humans have always been over careful in respecting the lives and well-being of other animals．This includes the life and well-being of other humans．Therefore in the early years of the 21st century-l was told-the mass killings of monkeys may occur．We'll need to use their hearts for human consumption．

    　　Monkeys, on the whole, are happier creatures than their near relatives．Homo Sapiens, or man．They know fear, of course, and they face real dangers, but they are also more intelligent than us．They create no unnecessary dangers for themselves; they run no businesses, chase no money, are unimpressed by gold-that utterly useless metal, and they do not care at all about hell or evil spirits．I have an indefinite feeling that it is not monkeys ' hearts that we ought to implant in ourselves, but monkeys' brains．

    　　When someone has deeply hurt you, it can be extremely difficult to let go of your anger．But forgiveness is possible and it can be surprisingly helpful to your physical and mental health．Indeed, research has shown that people who forgive report more energy, better appetite(胃口)and better sleep patterns．“People who forgive show less anger and more hopefulness,”says Dr Frederic Luskin, who wrote the book Forgive for Good“So it can help save on the wear and tear on, our system and allow people to feel more energetic”

    　　So when someone has hurt you, calm yourself first．Take a couple of breaths and think of something that gives you pleasure：a beautiful scene in nature, someone you love Don’t wait for an apology“Many times the person who hurt you may never think of apologizing”says Dr Luskin“They may have wanted to hurt you or they just don’t see things the same way．So if you wait for people to apologize, you could be waiting a very long time．”Keep in mind that forgiveness does not necessarily mean accepting the action of the person who upset you．Mentally going over your hurt gives power to the person who brought you pain．Instead, learn to look for the love, beauty and kindness around you．Finally, try to see things from the other person’s perspective(视角)．You may realize that he or she－was acting out of ignorance(无知)，fear－even love．To gain perspective, you may want to write a letter to yourself from that person’s point of view．

    　　Of course,what is an ideal(理想)holiday for one person may be a very unpleasant one for another．The sportsman likes a kind of holiday which his lazy friend would find worse than his daily work;while the lazy man’s ideal holiday would leave the sportsman quite unsatisfied．

    　　If I were allowed to choose my own holiday,I would have no doubts;I would go on a voyage(远航)in a modern passenger ship with a swimming bath．Even if my sportsman friend and my lazy friend came with me,they would both be happy;one would have plenty of games,swimming and dancing;the other could sit in a comfortable chair all day,looking at the sea and drinking lemonade(柠檬水)or beer．In a ship,one can do as one likes．If one day I find an interesting book in the ship’s library,I can spend the whole day reading it,and nobody will stop me．Perhaps the next day I shall want some exercise．Well,then I can play games with other passengers until I am hot and sweating and ready for a bath．I can go and sleep in my cabin at any time of the day or night,I can get cheap drinks during most of the day,and I can eat as I like,choosing among a variety of foods．

    　　But what I like even more about a sea voyage is the chance to meet new and interesting people from many countries．What other kind of holiday gives us such a chance?Freed from(从……解脱)all the duties of life at home,we can talk,play games,swim,drink,sing and dance with our new friends．They can tell us about their own countries,their daily lives and amusements,their hopes and their fears．And in return we can tell them all about ourselves．

    　　But perhaps the greatest pleasure of a sea holiday is coming to new ports in strange lands,and going ashore for a few hours to see strange places,eat strange foods and hear a strange language talked around us．Whenever I think of my ideal holiday,it is the picture of a mysterious foreign city that comes to my mind．
