You almost certainly own a car and possibly a homecomputer. Now, people are wondering what life is all about, and what it isfor. Seeking material success is beginning to trouble large numbers ofpeople around the world. They feel that the long hours work culture tomake more money is eating up their lives, leaving them very little time orenergy for family or pastimes. Many are turning to other ways of living anddownshifting is one of them. Six percent of workers in Britain took thedecision to downshift last year.One couple who downshifted is Daniel and Liz. They used to work incentral London. They would go to work by train every day from their largehouse in the suburbs, leaving their two children with a nanny. Mostevenings Daniel wouldnt get home until eight or nine oclock. Theyboth earned a large amount of money but began to feel that life waspassing them by.Nowadays, they run a farm in the mountains of Wales. “I alwayswanted to have a farm then,” says Daniel, “and we took almost a yearto make the decision to downshift. Its taken some getting used to, butits been worth it. I think its made us stronger as a family, and thechildren are a lot happier.”Liz, “Im gradually getting used to looking after the animals. Onething I do like, though, is being able to see more of my children. My advicefor other people wanting to do the same is not to think about it too muchor you might not do it at all.”4The passage tells us that _ .A.people seldom work long hours to make moneyB.people hardly buy more things than necessaryC.people are sure everything they own is in the right placeD.people realize there is more to life than just making money5Daniel and Liz both agree that the move to the farm _.A.was easy to organizeB.has improved family lifeC.was extremely expensiveD.has been a total success6What does the author mean by saying “the long hours work culture tomake more money is eating up their lives” in the second paragraph ?A.People work long hours to earn their living.B.To make more money through hard work is the aim of peoples life.C.Long hours of hard work occupy too much of peoples life.D.People spent too much time and money eating meals.7The underlined word “downshifting” in the second paragraph refersto _.A.repairing your car by yourselfB.spending money carefullyC.moving out to the countryside to live a simpler and better lifeD.living in a big house in the suburbs and dining out once a weekCCAs a good mother to three children, I have tried never to let mypassion stand in the way of being a good parent.I no longer consider myself the center of the universe. I show up. Ilisten. I try to laugh. I am a good friend to my husband. I have tried to makemarriage vows (誓言)mean what they say. I am a good friend to my friends,and they to me. Without them, there would be nothing to say to you today.So heres what I want to tell you today: Get a life. A real life, not adesire of the next promotion, the bigger paycheck, the larger house.Get a life in which you are not alone. Find people you love, and wholove you. And remember that love is not leisure; it is work. Pick up thephone. Send an e-mail. Write a letter. And realize that life is the best thingand that you have no business taking it for granted.Its so easy to waste our lives, our days, our hours and our minutes. Itsso easy to exist instead of to live. I learned to live many years ago.Something really, really bad happened to me, something that changedmy life in ways that, if I had my choice, it would never have been changedat all. And what I learned from it is what, today, seems to be the hardestlesson of all.I learned to love the journey, not the destination. I learned to look atall the good in the world and try to give some of it back because Ibelieved in it, completely and totally. And I tried to do that, in part, bytelling others what I had learned.By telling them this: Read in the backyard with the sun on your face.Learn to be happy. If you do, you will live it with joy and passion as it oughtto be lived.8It can be inferred from the passage that_.A.the author didnt try her best to work wellB.the author spent all her time caring for her childrenC.the author likes traveling very muchD.the author is a success in personal life9How did the author form her view of life?A.Through social experience.B.Through an unfortunateexperience.C.From her children and husband.D.By learning from her friends.10By the underlined sentence “Its so easy to exist instead of to live”inthe fifth paragraph, the author really means that people tendto_.A.work rather than enjoy lifeB.waste a lot in lifeC.make a living rather than live a real lifeD.forget the most important lessons in life11Whats the authors attitude toward work?A.Do it well to serve others.B.Earn enough money to make life better.C.Dont let it affect your real life.D.Try your best to get a higher position and a pay raise.DUntil late in the 20th century, most Americans spent time with peopleof generations. Now mid-aged Americans may not keep in touch with oldpeople until they are old themselves. Thats because we group peopleby age. We put our three-year-olds together in day-care center, our 13-year-olds in school and sports activities, and our 80-year-olds in senior-citizen homes. Why?We live away from the old for many reasons: young people sometimesavoid the old to get rid of fears for aging and dying. It is much harder towatch someone we love disappear before our eyes. Sometimes its sohard that we stay away from the people who need us most.Fortunately, some of us have found our way to the old. And we havediscovered that they often save the young.A reporter moved her family onto a block filled with old people. At firsther children were disappointed. But the reporter baked banana bread forthe neighbours and had her children deliver it and visit. Soon the childrenhad many new friends, with whom they shared food, stories and projects.“My children have never been less lonely,” the reporter said.The young, in turn, save the old. Once I was in a rest home when avisitor showed up with a baby. She was immediately surrounded. Peoplewho hadnt gotten out of bed in a week suddenly were ringing for awheelchair. Even those who had seemed asleep wake up to watch thechild. Babies have an astonishing power to comfort and cure.Grandparents are a special case. They give grandchildren a feeling ofsecurity and continuity. As my husband put it, “my grandparents gave mea deep sense that things would turn out right in the end.”Grandchildren speak of attention they dont get from worried parents.“My parents were always telling me to hurry up, and my grandparentstold me to slow down,” one friend said. A teacher told me she can tellwhich pupils have relationships with grandparents: they are quieter,calmer, more trusting.12Now in an American family, people can find that _A.children never live with their parents.B.aged people are supported by their grandchildren.C.not all working people live with their parents.D.grandchildren are supported by their grandparents.13The reason why old people are left alone may be that _A.the old dont like to live in a big family.B.the young cant get enough money to support the old.C.the old are too weak to live with the young.D.different generations have different lifestyles.14The fact that the reporter told us shows that _A.old people are easy to get along with.B.old people in America enjoy banana bread.C.she had no time to take care of her children.D.old people in America lead a hard life.15By saying “Babies have an astonishing power to comfort and cure”the author means.A.old people had never seen her baby beforeB.the baby was clever and beautifulC.the baby brought old people the image of lifeD.the babys mother would take care of them第二节（共第二节（共 5 5 小题，每小题小题，每小题 2 2 分，共分，共 1010 分）分）根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。If there is a building which symbolizes a country - such as the EiffelTower for France and Sydney Opera House for Australia, then it has to bethe Taj Mahal for India._16_From the time they got married, they wouldnt be separated.She followed him to wars, advised him on affairs of state, and loved by hispeople for her good work. _17_The emperor was heartbroken andhad the Taj Mahal built as a sign of his love.It took more than twenty years for the Taj to be built.
