　　A

　　Many years ago mathematics was my enemy.I was afraid of it and I hated it so much that you could not imagine.

　　Then came a new teacher to our village.On the first day，he entered the classroom with huge steps，reached the blackboard in a few seconds，and wrote his name on the blackboard.Some letters were in higher places and some were in lower places；some were as big as the board itself and some were so small that we had to open our eyes a lot to see them；some were wide enough，but on the other hand some were too thin.

　　As he turned around，the class suddenly became still and silent，trying to make_out what it was.As we read his name，we were all smiling，no laughing out loud.Soon we realized that he had a special and lasting sense of humor and we began to learn mathematics in a relaxed and happy mood(心情)．

　　As for my mathematics study，the barriers(障碍)began to turn into pieces，and the fear began to disappear slowly.What was dark and colorless suddenly became exciting，challenging，interesting and above all simply fun.There was some humor added to every sum(算术)and there was fun in every problem.

　　Thanks to this special teacher，math became the most enjoyable subject to me.

　　【语篇解读】 一位风趣幽默的老师使作者对数学的态度由厌恶转向喜欢。

　　36．The writer thought mathematics was very ________ before he met the new math teacher.

　　37．From what the teacher wrote on the blackboard，we know that ________.　

　　A．his handwriting was bad

　　B．he had a sense of humor

　　C．his name was difficult to write

　　D．he wasn't good at teaching

　　答案　B　[细节理解题。根据文章第三段“Soon we realized that he had

　　a special and lasting sense of humor...”可知，这个数学老师之所以那样写他的名字，并不是他的书写不好，而是因为他是个幽默的人。]

　　38．The underlined phrase“make out” in Paragraph 3 means “________”．　

　　A．see

　　B．hear

　　C．write

　　D．feel

　　We spend around one third of our lives in bed，and the body does a lot of its repair work as we sleep，so enough good quality sleep is very important to our health.It doesn't stop there，though—some sleep positions are healthier than others.So which sleep position is the healthiest?

　　Sleeping on your back is the healthiest sleep position，Health benefits include avoiding back and neck pain.Because the head is raised above the stomach when you sleep on your back，this position is best for people who suffer from nighttime acid reflux(胃酸逆流)as well.Around 80% of heartburn(胃灼热)sufferers have problems during the night，so sleeping on their back could help a lot of people to enjoy a good night's sleep.If the sleep position alone is not enough to alleviate the condition，try raising the head of the bed by up to 4 inches by placing blocks under it.

　　When you sleep on your back，your face is in a natural position.This means less wrinkles(皱纹)．

　　If you really can't face sleeping on your back，another healthy sleep position is the side sleep.It's almost as good as the back position，and it's better for people who snore(打鼾)and their partners.Whichever sleep position you choose，use a pillow that supports the head and the neck without raising the head unnaturally，as this can bring neck pain.

　　【语篇解读】 本文介绍了两种对健康有益的睡眠姿势。

　　40．Which is NOT one of the benefits of sleeping on the back?

　　A．It can avoid acid reflux.

　　B．It makes people look younger.

　　C．It helps people get rid of stomach pain.

　　D．It's good for heartburn sufferers.

　　答案　C　[细节理解题。从第二段内容可知仰卧对胃灼热的人有益，但没说可以医治胃病。]

　　41．Which is the best sleep position for people who snore?

　　A．Sleep on the side.

　　B．Sleep on the face.

　　C．Sleep on the back.

　　D．Sleep without pillows.

　　答案　A　[细节理解题。从最后一段“... the side sleep.It's almost as good as the back position，and it's better for people who snore”可知应选A项。]

　　42．The underlined word“alleviate”in Paragraph 2 probably means ________.　

　　A．make people enjoy

　　B．make people forget

　　C．make it less useful

　　D．make it less serious

　　答案　D　[猜测词义题。从前半句“If the sleep position alone is not enough ...”及后面的“try raising the head of the bed by up to 4 inches”可推知，如果只这样做还不够(不能缓解不适症状)，则可以采取后来提出的办法。故选D项。]

　　43．What does the text mainly talk about?

　　A．Ways to keep us healthy.

　　B．The importance of sleep.

　　C．Healthy positions of sleep.

　　D．Sleep's repairing functions.

　　答案　C　[主旨大意题。从第一段“some sleep positions are healthier than others”及全文的描述可知选C项。]

　　C

　　Many people have tried to simplify(简化)the spelling of English words.Unlike other languages，English sometimes spells the same sounds in very different ways.For example，there is “light” but “white”，“loan” but “phone”，and there are at least seven different ways of pronouncing “ough”：“though”，“through”，“bough”，“cough”，“enough”，“ought” and “thorough”．

　　The American President Theodore Roosevelt almost succeeded in simplifying English spelling.In 1906，Andrew Carnegie started the Simplified Spelling Board.He was one of the richest men in the United States of America.The board's plan was to make the spelling of words nearer to the way they sound.For example，the word “though” would be spelt “tho” and “through” would become “thru”．Other people on the board were Melvil Dewey，the head of the New York libraries，and Professor Brander Matthews of Columbia University.They explained their idea to President Roosevelt，who thought that it was indeed logical.He immediately asked the government printer to use simplified spelling in all government letters.

　　But people didn't like the change，even if it made life easier.So the new simpler spelling was not popular.More importantly，when the American politicians(政客)discussed the plan，they did not like it either.Because Roosevelt did not want to have any problems with the politicians，he changed his mind and told the printer to go back to the old way of spelling.

　　Since then no one in any government has dared to simplify English spelling.However，people do simplify some words，mainly in advertisements.For example，we often see “tonite” instead of “tonight” and “thru” instead of “through”．

　　【语篇解读】 一直以来，有很多人致力于简化英语拼写。美国总统西奥多·罗斯福和钢铁大王安德鲁·卡内基就曾一起进行过拼写改革。

　　44．Many people have tried to simplify English spelling because ________.

　　A．English words are too long to remember

　　B．there are many mistakes in English words

　　C．lots of words are spelt in many different ways

　　D．sometimes the same sounds have different spellings

　　答案　D　[根据第一段“Unlike other languages，English sometimes spells the same sounds in very different ways.”可知，人们试图简化英语拼写是因为英语单词有时候同样的发音会有不同的拼写。]

　　45．Who is NOT a member of the Simplified Spelling Board?

　　A．Andrew Carnegie.

　　B．Melvil Dewey.

　　C．Theodore Roosevelt.

　　D．Brander Matthews.

　　答案　C　[根据第二段“Andrew Carnegie started the Simplified Spelling Board和Other people on the board were Melvil Dewey...Brander Matthews.”可知他们三人是简化拼写委员会成员，而美国总统罗斯福并不是这个机构的成员。]

　　46．What was Theodore Roosevelt's attitude towards simplified spelling?

　　A．Worried.

　　B．Supportive.

　　C．Uncertain.

　　D．Doubtful.

　　答案　B　[根据第二段“They explained their idea to President Roosevelt，who thought that it was indeed logical.He immediately...”可知，罗斯福对简化英语拼写持支持态度。]

　　47．According to the passage，simplified spelling ________.

　　A．was welcomed by the US politicians

　　B．changed the way the words sound

　　C．has been used widely for over a century

　　D．was first used in US government letters

　　答案　D　[根据第二段的“He immediately asked the government printer to use simplified spelling in all government letters.”可知，简化拼写首先是在美国政府信函中使用的。]

　　D

　　There are only 24 hours in a day，but people can use the time wisely.In other words，good time management(管理) is important if you want to succeed.

　　Knowing the importance of daily matters is the first step

　　towards good time management.Write down the things that you want to do and organise them according to their level of importance.The important thing

　　should

　　be done first.

　　If there are too many things that have to be done in one day，then you have to give up doing something that is less important on your list.

　　Besides this，you need to spend a specific(特定的)amount of time doing all the activities you have written down and make sure you finish them on time.People often slow down in their work even though they know that time will never wait for them.Make sure you keep to your plan and finish the tasks one by one.Do not try to do too many things at once.

　　Also，you can group similar activities together and do them one by one.For example，you can group all the tasks you need to do in the office together and do them while you're in office.Do all the tasks that have to be done in one place first，and then move to the next place to do the other tasks.

　　“The bad news is that time flies.The good news is that you're the pilot，”said Michael Althsuler.Your future is in your hands，so remember to invest(投资)your time wisely from today on.

　　A．Do all the tasks that need to be done in one place together.

　　B．Write down daily tasks that need to be done.

　　C．Do as many tasks as you can at the same time.

　　D．Understand and know the importance of daily matters.

　　50．The author quoted the words by Althsuler to say that ________.

　　A．you can manage your time wisely

　　B．you can't control time

　　C．time passes quickly

　　D．everything has two sides

　　答案　A　[推理判断题。根据最后一段最后一句话可知，作者引用Althsuler的话想告诉大家，时间掌握在自己手中，我们可以合理地分配时间。]

　　Happiness can be described as a positive mood and a pleasant state of mind. According to recent surveys, sixty to seventy percent of Americans consider themselves to be moderately happy and one in twenty persons feels very happy. Psychologists have been studying the factors that contribute to happiness. It is not predictable, nor is a person in a clearly ideal situation necessarily happy. The ideal situation may have little to do with his actual feelings.

　　A good education and income are usually considered necessary for happiness. Though both may contribute, they are only chief factors if the person is seriously undereducated or actually suffering from lack of physical needs.

　　The rich are not likely to be happier than the middle­income group or even those with very low incomes. People with college educations are somewhat happier than those who did not graduate from high school, and it is believed that this is mainly because they have more opportunity to control their lives. Yet people with a high income and a college education may be less happy than those with the same income and no college education.

　　Poor health does not rule out happiness except for the seriously disabled or those in pain. Learning to deal with a health problem can contribute to happiness. Those with a good material life are happier in general, but those who have a loving, affectionate relationship are happier than those who rely on material alone. Love has a closer relationship with happiness than any other factor.

　　It should be noted that people quickly get used to what they have, and they are happiest when they feel they are increasing their level no matter where it stands at a given time.

　　Children whose parents were happily married have happier childhoods, but are not necessarily happier adults.

　　The best formula for happiness is to be able to develop the ability to bear failure, to have a personal participation and devotion, and to develop self­confidence and self­esteem.

　　52．It can be inferred from the passage that ________.

　　A．happiness is predictable rather than passively accepted

　　B．a person in an obviously ideal situation must be happy

　　C．the rich are likely to be happier than the middle­income group　

　　D．happiness is not necessarily connected to one's situation in society

　　答案　D　[推断题。文章说受教育的程度，收入的高低都不见得能决定一个人是否幸福。由此推断出社会地位跟一个人是否有幸福感没有必然的联系。]

　　53．People with college education ________.

　　A．are not happier than those who have only an education at high school

　　B．are much happier than those who did not graduate from high school

　　C．have less opportunity to control their lives

　　D．have more opportunity to control their lives

　　答案　D　[细节理解题。第三段中讲到，受过高等教育的人更为幸福一些，这主要是因为他们有更多的机会可能控制自己的生活。]

　　54．According to the article, happiness is greatly dependent on ________.

　　A．a happy childhood in a happily married family

　　B．great wealth obtained by receiving a good education

　　C．a feeling that conditions are becoming for the better

　　D．a college degree and a high income

　　答案　C　[细节推断题。文章的最后给出了幸福的公式：抗挫折失败的能力＋专注与投入＋自信自尊。这些东西全是主观的。由此可以推断出，幸福来自于自身感受。]

　　55．Which of the following is most likely to contribute to happiness?

　　A．Being exceptionally good­looking.

　　B．Having a loving, affectionate relationship.

　　C．Having a well­paid job.

　　D．Meeting lots of people.

　　答案　B　[细节理解题。文章在第四段最后一句说到，爱和幸福之间的关联比其他任何因素都要近一些。]

　　I'm writing to tell you something about the recording pen I bought from your website several days ago.There seems to be something wrong with it.First，the voice isn't so clear as you claimed.Second，it's not easy to operate，which caused me much trouble.Third，it often breaks down，while a recording pen at such a price shouldn't have had so many problems.

　　Due to its poor quality and much inconvenience it has

　　caused，I wonder

　　whether

　　you can do something about it.I would appreciate it very much if I can get my money back and I'll send it back to you as soon as you return the money to me.If it can't be helped，I wish you could have it repaired or changed.

　　I'm looking forward to your early reply.

　　Best wishes，

　　Yours，

　　Li_Hua
