17.In our culture,the sources of what we call a sense of"mastery"-feeling important and worthwhile-and the sources of what we call a sense of"pleasure"-finding life enjoyable-are not always the same.Women often are told"You can't have it all."Sometimes what the speaker really is saying is:"You choose a career,so you can't expect to have closer relationships or a happy family life."or"You have a wonderful husband and children-what's all this about wanting a career?"But women need to understand and develop both aspects of well-being,if they are to feel good about themselves.
Our study shows that,for women,well-being(康樂(lè)) has two aspects.One is mastery,which includes self-respect,a sense of control over your life,and low levels of anxiety and depression.Mastery is closely related to the"doing"side of life,to work and activity.Pleasure is the other aspect,and it is made up of happiness,satisfaction and optimism.It is tied more closely to the"feeling"side of life.The two are independent of each other.A woman could be high in mastery and low in pleasure,and vice versa (反之亦然).For example,a woman who has a good job,but whose mother has just died,might be feeling very good about herself and in control of her work life,but the pleasure side could be damaged for a time.
The concepts of mastery and pleasure can help us identify the sources of well-being for women,and correct past mistakes.In the past,women were encouraged to look only at the feeling side of life as the source of all well-being.But we know that both mastery and pleasure are important.And mastery seems to be achieved largely through work.In our study,all the groups of employed women are valued significantly higher in mastery than women who are not employed.
A woman's well-being is developed when she takes on multiple (多項(xiàng)的) roles.At least?by middle adulthood,the women who are involved in a combination of roles-marriages,motherhood,and employment-are the highest in well-being,in spite of warnings about stress and strain.

64.It can be inferred from the first paragraph thatD.
A.for women,a sense of"mastery"is more important than a sense of"pleasure"
B.for women,a sense of"pleasure"is more important than a sense of"mastery"
C.women can't have a sense of"mastery"and a sense of"pleasure"at the same time
D.a(chǎn) sense of"mastery"and a sense of"pleasure"are both necessary to women
65.The author's attitude towards women having a career is_B.
A.negative       B.positive        C.neutral (中立)  D.realistic
66.One can conclude from the passage that if a woman takes on several social roles,_A.
A.her life will be richer and more meaningful
B.she will be more successful in her career
C.her chances of getting promoted will be greater
D.it will be easier for her to overcome stress and strain
67.The most appropriate title for the passage would be _C.
A.The Well-Being of Career Women
B.Sources of Mastery and Pleasure
C.Two Aspects of Women's Well-Being
D.Multiple Roles of Women in Society.

16.Losses from extreme floods in Europe could more than double by 2050,because of climate change and socioeconomic development.Understanding the risk caused by wide-area floods is of growing importance and will be key for managing climate adaptation.
Current flood losses in Europe are likely to double by 2050,according to a new study published in the journal Nature Climate Change by researchers from the International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis (IIASA),the Institute for Environmental Studies in Amsterdam,and other European research centers.Socioeconomic growth accounts for about two-thirds of the increased risk,as development leads to more buildings and infrastructure ( 基礎(chǔ)設(shè)施) that could be damaged in a flood.The other third of the increase comes from climate change,which is projected to change rainfall patterns in Europe.
"In this study we brought together professional knowledge from the fields of hydrology(水文學(xué)),economics,mathematics and climate change adaptation,allowing us for the first time to thoroughly  assess(評(píng)估) continental flood risk and compare the different adaptation options,"says Brenden Jongman of the Institute for Environmental Studies in Amsterdam,who organized the study.
IIASA researcher,Stefan Hochrainer-Stigler,who led the modeling work on the study.says,"The new study for the first time accounts for the link between floods in different countries.Current risk-assessment models suppose that each river basin is independent.But in actuality,river flows across Europe are closely related,rising and falling in response to large-scale atmospheric patterns that bring rains and dry spells to large regions."
"We need to be prepared for larger stress on risk financing method,such as the pan-European Solidarity Fund (EUSF),a financial tool for financing disaster recovery in the European Union."
IIASA researcher Reinhard Mechler,another study co-author,points out the larger implications arising from the analysis.He says,"There is room for better managing flood risk through risk prevention,such as using moveable flood walls,risk financing and increased unity between countries.There is no one-size-fits-all solution,and the risk management measures have very different efficiency,equity and acceptability implications.These need to be assessed and considered in broader consultation,for which the analysis provides an all-round basis."

43.What's the best title of the passage?C
A.Flood has been a great challenge to the world.
B.Flood has caused great losses in Europe.
C.European flood risk could double by 2050.
D.European flood does damage to the environment.
44.According to the passage,which of the following is correct?B
A.The study was done by a European research center alone.
B.Socioeconomic growth is the main increased risk.
C.Stefan Hochrainer-Stigler led all the work on the study.
D.The study offered professional knowledge to the European.
45.What do Stefan Hochrainer-Stigler's words in Paragraph 4suggest?A
A.The new study offers us a more scientific risk-assessment model.
B.None of the current risk-assessment models are useful for us.
C.Every country should have its special risk-assessment model.
D.All the countries can turn to EUSF for financing disaster recovery.
46.Which of the followings may be supported by Reinhard Mechler?D
A.The current risk management measures can work perfectly.
B.Using moveable flood walls is the best way of managing flood risk.
C.There is not a proper solution for us to manage flood risk.
D.Any risk management measure should be based on the specific situation.

5.Would you eat a ready meal from the fridge rather than cook from scratch?Have you been doing internet shopping rather than going to the stores?What can't you be bothered to do?
A study into how lazy British people are has found more than half of adults are so lazy they'd catch the lift rather than climb two flights of stairs.
Just over 2000people were quizzed by independent researchers at Nuffield Health,Britain's largest health charity.The results were astonishing.
About one in six people surveyed said if their remote control was broken,they would continue watching the same channel rather than get up.
More than one third of those questioned said they would not run to catch a bus.Worryingly,of the 654respondents with children,64% said they were often too tired to play with them.
This led the report to conclude that it's no wonder that one in six children in the UK are classified as obese (very fat) before they start school.
Dr Sarah Dauncey,medical director of Nuffield Health,said:"People need to get fitter,not just for their own sake,but for the sake of their families,friends and evidently their pets too.
"If we don't start to take control of this problem,a whole generation will become too unfit to perform even the most  rudimentary of tasks."
And Scotland's largest city,Glasgow,was shamed as the most inactive city in the UK,with 75% surveyed admitting they do not get enough exercise,followed closely by Birmingham and Southampton,both with 67%.
The results cause serious challenges for the National Health Service,where obesity-related illnesses such as heart disease and cancer have been on a steady increase for the past 40years and are costing billions of pounds every year.

61.What causes children in the UK to be obese?D
A.Eating ready meal             B.Watching TV
C.Doing Internet shopping       D.Being lazy
62.What can be inferred from the passage?D
A.British people are too lazy to do anything.
B.Internet shopping will do harm to your health.
C.Many people would not run to catch a bus in Britain.
D.People should be more active and take regular exercise to keep fit.
63.Which of the following is Not true according to the passage?A
A.One sixth of British people use remote control when watching TV.
B.People will benefit not only themselves but their families by getting fit.
C.Fatness can cause diseases such as heart disease and cancer.
D.More people get obesity-related illnesses now than 40years ago.
64.What does the underlined word rudimentary most probably mean?A
A.basic          B.serious       C.vital        D.hard
65.All the following are among the most lazy cities in the UK exceptC.

12.The way people hold to the belief that a fun-filled,pain free life equals happiness actually reduces their chances of ever attaining real happiness.If fun and pleasure are equal to happiness then pain must be equal to unhappiness.But in fact,the opposite is true:more often than not things that lead to happiness involve some pain.
As a result,many people avoid the very attempts that are the source of true happiness.They fear the pain inevitably brought by such things as marriage,raising children,professional achievement,religious commitment(承擔(dān)的義務(wù)),self-improvement.
Ask a bachelor(單身漢) why he resists marriage even though he finds dating to be less and less satisfying.If he is honest he will tell you that he is afraid of making a commitment.For commitment is in fact quite painful.The single life is filled with fun,adventure,excitement.Marriage has such moments,but they are not its most distinguishing features.
Couples with infant children are lucky to get a whole night's sleep or a three-day vacation.I don't know any parent who would choose the word fun to describe raising children.But couples who decide not to have children never know the joys of watching a child grow up or of playing with a grandchild.
Understanding and accepting that true happiness has nothing to do with fun is one of the most liberating realizations.It liberates time:now we can devote more hours to activities that can genuinely increase our happiness.It liberates money:buying that new car or those fancy clothes that will do nothing to increase our happiness now seems pointless.And it liberates us from envy:we now understand that all those who are always having so much fun actually may not be happy at all.

36.According to the author,a bachelor resists marriage chiefly becauseA.
A.he is reluctant to take on family responsibilities
B.he believes that life will be more cheerful if he remains single
C.he finds more fun in dating than in marriage
D.he fears it will put an end to all his fun adventure and excitement
37.Raising children,in the author's opinion isC.
A.a(chǎn) moral duty
B.a(chǎn) thankless job
C.a(chǎn) rewarding task
D.a(chǎn) source of inevitable pain
38.From the last paragraph,we learn that envy sometimes stems fromB.
A.hatred
B.misunderstanding
C.prejudice
D.ignorance
39.To understand what true happiness is one mustD.
A.have as much fun as possible during one's lifetime
B.make every effort to liberate oneself from pain
C.put up with pain under all circumstances
D.be able to distinguish happiness from fun
40.What is the author trying to tell us?A
A.Happiness often goes hand in hand with pain.
B.One must know how to attain happiness.
C.It is important to make commitments.
D.It is pain that leads to happiness.

2.That cold January night,I was growing sick of my life in San Francisco.There I was walking home at one in the morning after a tiring practice at the theater.With opening night only a week away,I was still learning my lines.I was having trouble dealing with my part-time job at the bank and my acting at night at the same time.As I walked,I thought seriously about giving up both acting and San Francisco.City life had become too much for me.
As I walked down empty streets under tall buildings,I felt very small and cold.I began running,both to keep warm and to keep away from any possible robbers.Very few people were still out except a few sad-looking homeless people under blankets.
About a block from my apartment,I heard a sound behind me.I turned quickly,half expecting to see someone with a knife or a gun.The street was empty.All I saw was a shining streetlight.Still,the noise had made me nervous,so I started to run faster.Not until I reached my apartment building and unlocked the door did I realize what the noise had been.It had been my wallet falling to the sidewalk.
Suddenly I wasn't cold or tired any more.I ran out of the door and back to where I'd heard the noise.Although I searched the sidewalk anxiously for fifteen minutes,my wallet was nowhere to be found.
Just as I was about to give up the search,I heard the garbage truck pull up to the sidewalk next to me.When a voice called from the inside,"Alisa Camacho?"I thought I was dreaming.How could this man know my name?The door opened,and out jumped a small red-haired man with an amused look in his eyes."Is this what you're looking for?"he asked,holding up a small square shape.
It was nearly 3 a.m.by the time I got into bed.I wouldn't get much sleep that night,but I had got my wallet back.I also had got back some enjoyment of city life.I realized that the city couldn't be a bad place as long as people were willing to help each other.

A.Someone offered to take her back home       
B.A red-haired man came to see her.

6.We Chinese are not big huggers.A handshake or a pat on the shoulder is enough to convey our friendship or affection to one another.So when our newly-acquainted Western friends reach out to give us a hug,some of us feel awkward.Many questions go through our head.Where should I put my arms?What distance should I maintain?Should our chests touch?
But it isn't just people from cultures that are conservative in expressing physical contact who find hugging confusing.Hugs can cause discomfort or even distress in people who value their personal space.
In a recent article for The Wall Street Journal,US psychologist Peggy Drexler said that although the US remains a"medium touch"culture,Americans do seem to be hugging more.From politicians to celebrities,hugs are given to friends,strangers and enemies alike,whether they are willing or not;and the public has been quick to pick up the practice.
Public figures know that nothing expresses fellowship or affection like a good hug.US First Lady Michelle Obama has put her arms around icy foreign leaders like Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev and the Queen of England.Pop superstar Lady Gaga is also a hug enthusiast,telling her fans that"I will always,always,try my very best to wrap my arms around you when I meet you."
But not all are grateful to be hugged,even by the most influential and famous.To them,any hug is offensive if it's not sincere.Amanda Hess,writing for US magazine Slate,says public figures should stop imposing hugs on everyone they meet.For them,a hug is rarely a gesture of sincere fellowship,or affection.It's all part of a show.

28.Chinese people don't enjoy hugs becauseA.
A.they are conservative in physical touch
B.they don't know how to hug correctly
C.they think a handshake is the best way to convey friendship
D.they feel awkward to communicate with westerners
29.Which of the following is closest in meaning to the underlined phrase"pick up the practice"?B
A.Enjoy the medium touch culture.      B.Follow the trend.
C.Give hugs to enemies.                D.Resist physical touch.
30.Public figures like giving hugs toD.
A.thank public people                  B.show sincere friendship
C.express enthusiasm                   D.win fellowship or affection
31.What can we learn from the last paragraph?D
A.People are grateful to hugs of any kind    B.A hug is a gesture of friendship.
C.A famous person's hug is usually sincere  D.An insincere hug is a part of show.

7.When it comes to food qualiy,do you get what you pay for?Not necessarily.
According to recent findings,price does have an effect on what we think of the quality of food,but it may not always truly show how good the food is.The study was carried out by researchers from Cornell University in the US and published in the Journal of Product & Brand Management.
The research team said that psychologists (心理學(xué)家) have long believed that an experience's strongest part (the peak (高峰) ) and last part (the end) decide what we think about the quality of that experience.
For their study,lead researcher David Just,PhD,and his colleagues decided to test whether this idea changes depending on how much we pay for an experience.In this case (情況),the experience was eating at a restaurant.

After eating,everyone was asked to rate (評(píng)價(jià)) the taste,enjoyment and satisfaction of each slice (切片) of pizza they ate,then rate the overall (全部的) experience.
The team found that when it came to overall enjoyment and taste of the pizza for subjects who paid 4fortheirmeal,thepeak-endideawastrue;theyratedtheoverallexperiencebasedonthepeakratingoftasteandthelastslicetheyate.Theparticipants(參與者)whopaid8for their meal,however,rated their overall experience based only on what they thought of the first slice of pizza they ate.
The team said their findings suggested that other things can change what you pay attention to in judging quality.This study,for example,found that how we judge a meal may be greatly affected by the price we pay for it.
