12.(16)BWhen a starving man gets a meal,he begins to think about an overcoat; when an executive gets a new sports car,visions of country clubs and pleasure beats dance into view.
The many wants of mankind might be regarded as making up several levels.(17)C.
The first and most basic level of wants involves food.Once this want is satisfied,a second level of wants appears:clothing and some sort of shelter.By the end of World War II these wants were satisfied for a great majority of Americans.(18)AIt included such items as automobile sand new houses.By 1957or 1958this third level of wants was fairly well satisfied.Then,in the late 1950s a fourth level of wants appeared:the"life-enriching"level.While the other levels involve physical satisfaction-the feeding,comfort,safety,and transportation of the human body-this level stresses mental needs for recognition,achievement and happiness.It includes a variety of goods and services,many of which could be called"luxury"items.Among them are vacation trips,the best medical care,and entertainment.(19)FOn this level,a greater percentage of consumer spending goes to services,while on the first three levels more is spent on goods.Will consumers raise their sights to a fifth level of wants as their income increases,or will they continue to demand luxuries and personal services on the fourth level?
A fifth level probably would involve wans that can be achieved best by community action.Consumers may be spending more on taxes to pay for government action against disease,ignorance,crime and prejudice.(20)EIn this way,we can enjoy more fully the good things on the first four levels.

A.Then a third level appeared.
B.Human wants seem endless.
C.When there is money enough to satisfy one level of wants,another level appears.
D.There are several levels of wants in one's life.
E.At this stage,we now may seek to ensure the health,safety,and leisure.
F.Also included here are fancy foods and the latest styles in clothing.
G.Different people have different wants on each level.

分析 本文講述了人的欲望的不同的階段,以及不同的階段的不同的需要層次.

解答 BCAFE
16.B 細節(jié)題.根據(jù)When a starving man gets a meal,he begins to think about an overcoat; when an executive gets a new sports car,visions of country clubs and pleasure beats dance into view.可知當一個饑餓的人有飯吃,他開始想要外套,推出人想要的東西是無窮盡的,故選B.
17.C  考查上下文的理解和推理判斷能力.根據(jù)前一句The many wants of mankind might be regarded as making up several levels.可知人的欲望被分為好幾個不同的等級.橫線后面的內(nèi)容具體分析了不同的等級情況.故選C.
18.A 考查上下文的理解和推理判斷能力.根據(jù)前面的The first和a second level說明本句提及的是第三個level.故選A.
19.F  考查上下文的理解和推理判斷能力.根據(jù)前句It includes a variety of goods and services,many of which could be called"luxury"(奢侈) items.Among them are vacation trips,the best medical care,and entertainment說明在這一層次里包含了很多的奢侈要求,故選F.
20.E  考查上下文的理解和推理判斷能力.根據(jù)下句in this way,we can enjoy more fully the good things on the first four levels.說明在這一階段消費者要尋求的是更高層次的要求,故選E.

點評 考察學生的推理判斷能力和聯(lián)系上下文的能力,在做推理判斷題不要以個人的主觀想象代替文章的事實,要根據(jù)文章事實進行合乎邏輯的推理判斷.此類的填空題一定要聯(lián)系上下文,根據(jù)上下文的內(nèi)容加上自己的理解,再作出正確的判斷.

7."Any fool can criticize,condemn(譴責),and complain but it takes character and self-control to be understanding and forgiving."--Dale Carnegie
If we really want to be happy,why do we act like such babies?
We can claim to be proactive(主動的) in our life by setting goals and going after what we want.But if we're always complaining all the time,are we really living effectively?(36)E Whether it is being stuck in traffic,being bothered by the weather,not enough mustard on your sandwich,or whatever it is,there are endless instances where you can find a reason to complain.
But it's not just outside circumstances that we complain about.(37)A We complain that we don't have enough time,we don't have enough money(this one is huge because it's often"true"),that we're not smart enough,cool enough,or just enough.
(38)G I never really thought about it much until I found this website about"Living in a complaint-free world".
Imagine how much happier you would be if you simply stopped complaining?Much of what you complain about is outside of your control anyway.What's the point of thinking about something you have no power to change?(39)C
Simply becoming conscious of how much you complain is the first step to stopping.When you recognize that you're complaining,stop and take notice of it.Ask yourself if you would rather complain,or be happy.
(40)D
A.We complain about ourselves too.
B.Why can't we complain about things around us?
C.Not very intelligent,if you ask me
D.Are you ready to live a complaint-free,happier life?
E.If you don't believe me,count how many times you complain in one day.
F.What you're complaining about may make you quite unhappy.
G.I've experienced lots of unpleasantness for complaining about things I can't control.

17.It is not unusual at all for teens to answer their parents with one-word answers."Where are you going?""Places.""When will you be back?""Sometime.""Who will you be with?""People."
That means that the days of your children bounding in the front door with the details of their day are over.They are breaking away from you so that they'll be able to stand on their own as a young adult.
Some parents feel sad about this loss of their children's closeness.Of course you miss those conversations and friendly talks.Once your children move out after high school and establish themselves confidently as a young adult,they'll come back for easy conversations and even ask for advice.But in order to determine who they are right now,they need to separate from you.
Your job,however,is to keep them safe-and that requires knowing where they are and who they are with.Let them know clearly that it's not because you want to dominate(支配) their life and control them;it's because it's a safety issue for family members to keep track of one another.
When they're home and sit down to eat a meal,sit down with them.You need to open up to them about your life.Tell them an interesting incident at the office,let them in on a bit of family gossip,discuss a piece of news with them.They are glad that you see them as old enough to be in on a few experiences of your life.By letting a teen in on your life,they just may let you in of theirs.
29.The underlined word"That"in Paragraph 2probably refers to"A".
A.Teens no longer tell parents their detailed information
B.Teens don't tell parents where they had been any more
C.Parents are impatient to listen to their children
D.Parents are occupied by doing their business
30.It can be inferred from the passage thatD.
A.the generation gap is becoming wider and wider
B.teens quarrel a lot with their parents
C.teens don't want to live with other family members
D.some parents feel distant from their teenage children
31.The author believes that teens'one-word answers showA.
A.their awareness of independence
B.their physical and mental changes
C.a(chǎn)n unpleasant parent-child relationship
D.their wishes for keeping silent
32.What's the main idea of the last paragraph?C
A.Parents should understand their children.
B.Parents should keep their children safe.
C.Parents should open their hearts to their children.
D.Parents should give their children enough freedom.

18.Can you remember the day when you spoke your first word?If you can,you are unusual.Try to imagine what first few months of your life were like.I am sure you just spent most of your time eating,sleeping and crying.As you grow older,you were awake more of the time.It took you r parents more time to play with you and talk to you.You watched and listened curiously.You began to know that people made certain sounds to go with certain things.
     Then you began to try making the sounds you heard.And step by step you were able to make the right sound for one thing.
     On that day you came to understand the secret of language.The secret is that a certain sound means a certain thing.One sound might be as good as another.But it is no good as a word unless everybody agrees on its meaning.Only when a group of people use the same set of sounds of things,can they understand each other.Then,and only then do these people have a LANGUAGE.
     After you found the secret of language,you learned words.Some of the words meant things,such as BOOKS,CHAIRS and SHOES.Some words meant doing things,such as GO and SWIM.And other words describe things,such as GOOD and DIRTY.Soon you learned to put words together to express one's idea,such as"1 want to go out and play with my friends."This is language.By means of language people can communicate.So we say languages are means of communication.
