11.Happiness is a journey
We always convince ourselves that life will be better after we get married,have a baby,than another.Then we are frustrated that the kids aren't old enough and we'll be more content when they are.After that we're frustrated that we have teenagers to deal with.We will certainly be happy when they are out of that stage.
We always tell ourselves that our life will be complete when our spouse (配偶) gets his or her act together.When we get a nice car,and are able to go on a nice vacation when we retire.The truth is,there's no better time than right now.If not now,when?Our life will always be filled with challenges.It's best to admit this to ourselves and decide to be happy anyway.
One of my favorite quotes comes from Alfred Souza.He said,"for a long time it had seemed to me that life was about to begin a real life.But there was always some obstacle in the way,something to be gotten through first,some unfinished business,time still to be served,a debt to be paid.Then life would begin.At last it dawned on me that these obstacles were my life."
This perspective has helped me to see that there is no way to happiness.Happiness is the way.So treasure every moment that you have.
And remember that time waits for no one.So stop waiting until you finish school,until you go back to school; until you get married,until you get divorced; until you have kids; until you retire; until you get a new car or home; until spring; until you are born again to decide that there is no better time than right now to be happy…
Happiness is a journey,not a destination.So,work like you don't need money,love like you've never been hurt,and dance like no one's watching.

32.In the third paragraph,the author uses Alfred Souza's quote in order toA.
A.support his viewpoint             
B.introduce one more topic
C.enrich the content of the article     
D.compare their different views on happiness
33.The underlined word"this"in the second paragraph probably refers to"D".
A.Life will be better after we get married,have a baby and another.
B.Our life will be complete when our spouse gets his or her act together.
C.When we retire,we are able to go on a nice holiday
D.Our life is always filled with challenges.
34.The best title of the text might beC.
A.Owning the present is owning the future
B.Pursuing Happiness is Nature of Us Humans
C.Happiness is a journey,not a destination.
D.How to Possess Real Happiness
35.The main idea of the second paragraph is thatB.ll be much more productive and creative after ago
A.Only when we get whatever we want can we feel our life is complete.
B.Whatever happens in our life,we should live at present.
C.We shouldn't enjoy happiness at present but in the future.
D.We cannot enjoy happiness now because we are facing many challenges.

分析 作者在本文中主要表達(dá)了自己對(duì)幸福的感悟,即幸福是一次旅行,而不是終點(diǎn);作者倡導(dǎo)我們應(yīng)該把握好當(dāng)前的幸福,用積極的態(tài)度去面對(duì)生活中的挑戰(zhàn).

解答 答案:
32.A   內(nèi)容歸納題    通讀第三段可知,本段主要描述了在現(xiàn)實(shí)生活中,所存在的一些障礙或困難(如"something to be gotten through first,some unfinished business,time still to be served,a debt to be paid.但是,總會(huì)有一些障礙擋住去路,一些必須先完成的事情,一些未完成的工作,一些要付出的時(shí)間或一些要償還的債務(wù).");并根據(jù)第二段中"Our life will always be filled with challenges."可知,作者認(rèn)為:我們的生活會(huì)一直充滿著挑戰(zhàn);故可推測(cè)出作者引用第三段是用來(lái)支持自己的觀點(diǎn)的;故選A.
33.D   細(xì)節(jié)理解題    根據(jù)第二段中"Our life will always be filled with challenges."以及"It's best to admit this to ourselves and decide to be happy anyway.(最好讓自己接受這一事實(shí),并且無(wú)論如何都要使自己快樂(lè))"可知,此處的this指的是前一句中提到的:我們的生活中總會(huì)充滿著挑戰(zhàn);故選D.
34.C    標(biāo)題選擇題    通讀全文可知,最后一段為本文的中心段,它主要表達(dá)了作者對(duì)幸福的感悟,即:幸福是一次旅行,而不是終點(diǎn);所以,工作吧,就像不需要金錢一樣;戀愛(ài)吧,就像未曾受過(guò)傷一樣;舞蹈吧,就像沒(méi)人欣賞一樣;故選C.
35.B   內(nèi)容歸納題    通讀第二段并根據(jù)本段中的"The truth is,there's no better time than right now.(事實(shí)上,沒(méi)有哪一刻會(huì)比現(xiàn)在更幸福)"可知,本段主要強(qiáng)調(diào)了我們應(yīng)該過(guò)好當(dāng)前的生活;故選B.

點(diǎn)評(píng) 做本題的關(guān)鍵在于對(duì)整篇文章的深入理解,弄清句與句之間以及句子與所在段落的關(guān)系;由于本文結(jié)構(gòu)清晰,內(nèi)容明確,所以在做本題時(shí),可以根據(jù)每一部分的中心意思或根據(jù)上下句的內(nèi)容,推測(cè)出空缺部分的意思;另外,還可以通過(guò)仔細(xì)閱讀備選項(xiàng),排除與本文無(wú)關(guān)的選項(xiàng)或找到與相應(yīng)段落意義相關(guān)的選項(xiàng).

5.BERLIN (Reuters)-Germany's postal service has announced plans to explore improved service and help protect the environment by getting"fetch friends"-ordinary people traveling across cities-to deliver parcels on their way.
It is hoped that the move,which will be tested in the coming months,might lessen traffic in inner cities and reduce CO2 emissions(排放).This should help DHL,a division of the German postal service,reach its target of improving the company's carbon efficiency by 30 percent before 2020.
"As the world's biggest logistics(物流) provider,we recognize a special responsibility to reduce the impact on the environment as much as possible,"said Frank Appel,Chief Executive Officer of Deutsche Post DHL,in a statement referring to a variety of measures being considered.
The"fetch friends"find out online about parcels that need delivering to people who live or work along the way that they are planning to travel through the city.They then select the ones that they want to take.
Codes(編碼) sent to their mobile phones tell the volunteers where to pick the packages up.Parcels can be taken part of the way or passed on to another volunteer but all volunteers need to have the right code on their mobile phone so the track and trace system can be updated.
Logistics companies will be responsible for looking after the operation to make sure that the privacy of post is respected.
It's hoped that this could be done using mobile phones but DHL says it recognizes that some security issues remain to be worked out.

67.According to the passage,the"fetch friend"programD.
A.has been tested for months
B.a(chǎn)ims to reduce the cost of the service
C.employs environmentalists to help with deliveries
D.encourages ordinary people to help cut the carbon footprint
68.Which of the following statements is TRUE of DHL?A
A.It belongs to the Germany's postal service.
B.It has the most up-to-date tracking system in Germany.
C.It has succeeded in improving its carbon efficiency by 30%.
D.It has designed many measures to improve its service speed.
69.What may be a problem with the new service according to the article?C
A.Volunteers'not allowing to select parcels.
B.The wrong codes in the mobile phones.
C.The possibility that parcels could be opened on the way.
D.Parcels'being taken to the destination by a single volunteer.
70.What might be the best Title for the best passage?B
A.New Challenges for the Postal Service
B.A Greener Way to Deliver Parcels
C.Solutions for Global Warming
D.Statements from DHL.
