【題目】 Most people want to be happy, but few know how to find happiness. Money and success alone do not bring lasting happiness. Aristotle, a Greek thinker, said, “Happiness depends upon ourselves.” In other words, we make our own happiness. Here are a few suggestions to help us be happier.

The first secret of happiness is to enjoy the simple things in life. We spend so much time thinking about the future that we fail to enjoy the present. We should enjoy life’s pleasures, such as reading a good book, listening to our favorite music, or spending time with close friends. Then we’ll live happier and healthier lives.

Another secret to living a happy life is to be active. We can dance, or play sports, such as swimming. We can forget about our problems, and only think about the activities.

Finally, many people find happiness in helping others. We’ll feel good when we spend our time helping others. If we want to feel happier, do good things for someone. We can help a friend with his or her studies, go shopping to buy food for an elderly person, or simply help out around the house by washing the dishes.

【1】The passage gives us ________ pieces of advice on happiness.

A.twoB.threeC.fourD.five

【2】The second paragraph tells us that ________.

A.the more friends we have, the happier we will beB.we shouldn’t think about our future

C.happiness is to enjoy the simple things in lifeD.some people fail to live a happy life

【3】According to the passage, what can bring us happiness?

A.Reading a good book.B.Spending time with close friends.

C.Playing sports.D.All above.

【4】The writer thinks that ________.

A.everyone knows how to live a happier lifeB.it’s wrong to spend time on work

C.hobbies take up too much timeD.doing good things for someone can make us happy

【答案】

【1】B

【2】C

【3】D

【4】D

【題目】 It is late at night. People in Cape Town,South Africa,line up to collect water from a spring. One by one,they fill their plastic bottles. Each person can take up to 13 gallons（加侖）. Policemen stand by to keep the rules. In a few months,that number will be cut in half.

Cape Town is a city of four million people. It is running out of water. For three years,the city has faced a drought（干旱）. It is the worst in a century. Local reservoirs（水庫）are mostly sand and dried earth. Officers are telling people to save water.（A）_______, the city will one day be forced to cut off the supply to homes and businesses. That day is being called Day Zero. At press time,Day Zero was expected to be June 4.（B）_______ the date may change based on water levels in local reservoirs.

"There are a lot of people who have not realized the problem." said Shirley Curry. She waited at a spring to get her share of water. "Now they suddenly realize this is for real."

On Day Zero, each person's daily water supply will drop to about 6.5 gallons. (The average American uses 80 to 100 gallons of water per day.) Lines at the city's 200 water collection points will probably get even longer.

Some places will not be included in the cutoff. The water will keep running in hospitals and schools. It will stay on in poor areas, too. This is to prevent illness. Areas popular with tourists may also have water. More than 10 million people visit Cape Town each year. Tourism provides nearly 10% of South Africa's economy.

Across the city,people are making an effort to save water. They are taking 90-second showers. They are washing their clothes less often. Using tap water to wash cars or fill swimming pools is not allowed. Those caught using too much water are punished.

For some people,rationing（定量供應(yīng)）now feels normal. Kelson da Cruz keeps one container of water near the shower. Another he uses for brushing his teeth and washing his face. He uses non-drinking water to flush（沖洗）the toilet.

【1】在A、B空白處各填入一個(gè)合適的單詞或短語。A______________B_______________

【2】將畫線句子翻譯成漢語。___________________________________________________________________

【3】"This" 指代：_____________________________________________________________________________

【題目】閱讀下列短文，然后從A、B、C、D四個(gè)選項(xiàng)中選出最佳答案。

Have you ever wanted to have a doll that could talk to you? In the book The Ventriloquist's Daughter, a girl named Liur gets a doll like this. But it doesn't turn out to be as fun as she thought.

Lin Man-Chiu, an author from Taiwan, wrote the book. British translator Helen Wang translated it into English. The book tells a touching story about Liur and her father.

Liur loses her mother at a young age. Her grandfather sends her father to a medical school in the US. Five years later, he comes back with a doll named Carola, as he once promised he would. This doll is quite unusual-it can talk! However, Carola makes a lot of problems for the family.

After reading this book. I thought Liur and her father were just unlucky. In fact, this story is based on the author's own unhappy childhood. She had six sisters. Still, her grandfather wanted a grandson. Her father was under heavy pressure and didn't live with her and her sisters for a very long time. The author didn't like her father when she was young. But now she has forgiven him. The talking doll Carola stands for her father's burden (負(fù)擔(dān)).

After I learned this，I understood the author's main message. Everyone has demons (心魔) in their lives, but we should do our best to beat them.

【1】Who wrote the book The Ventriloquist's Daughter?

A.Lin Man-Chiu.B.Liur.C.Helen Wang.D.Carola.

【3】What is the main message of the book?

C.We should try to beat the demons in our hearts.D.Too many children can be a burden on a family.

【題目】 I’ve never been the kind of person to say，“It’s the thought counts”（貴在心意）when it comes to gifts. That was until a couple of weeks ago when my kids gave me a present that blew me away.

For years now. I’ve been wanting to sell our home，the place where my husband and I raised our kids. But to me，this house is much more than just building.

In the front room，there is a wall that has hundreds of pencil lines，marking the progress of my children’s growth. Every growth stage is marked in grey，with each child’s name and the date on which they were measured. Of all the objects and all the memories，It’s this one thing that’s the hardest to leave behind. Friends I know have returned home after work only to discover their wall of heights that has been freshly painted over. A new paint job wouldn’t normally be greeted by tears，but erasing that evidence（證據(jù)）of motherhood hurts more than it should. Our kids grow in so many ways，but the wall is a piece of physical evidence of their progress，right there for everyone to see.

Over the years，I’ve talked about how much I would hate leaving that wall behind when I moved，even thought the last marks were made ten years ago when my kids stopped growing.

So one day，my children decided to do something about it.

They hired Jacquie Manning，a professional photographer whose work is about capturing（拍攝）the beautiful things in life，from clear lakes and skies to diamonds and ball gowns. She came to our house while I was at work，and over several hours，took photos of the hundreds of drawings and lines，little grey fingerprints and old marks. Somehow，she managed to photograph all those years of memories perfectly. Afterwards，she put all the photos together into one image（影像），turning them into a beautiful history of my family.

Three weeks later，my children’s wonderful gift made its way to me—a life-size-photo of the pencil lines and fingerprints that represents（代表）love and growth.

【1】What was the hardest thing to leave behind when the author planned to move?

A.The presents friends gave her.B.Some expensive objects.

C.Some old photos.D.The pencil lines and fingerprints on a wall.

【2】Who came up with the idea of the photo gift?

A.A professional photographer.B.The author herself.

C.The author’s children.D.The author’s friends.

【3】We can include from the article that the author .

A.was strongly against selling her home

B.was not happy with the gift from her family

C.measures her children’s heights every Christmas

D.put great love and care in raising her children

【4】The author used the example of her friends（in paragraph 4）to .

A.persuade her family to leave the wall as it was

B.stress the meaning of keeping good memories

C.explain why her house needed a new paint job

D.share her memory of being a mother with her readers

【5】The main purpose of the article is to .

A.give advice on picking gifts for parents

B.introduce effective ways of communicating with children

C.explain why memories of love and growth are important

D.recommend a unique way of recording family history
