篇(Unit one Passage 1)I live in the land of Disney,Hollywood and year-round sun.You may think people insuch a glamorous,fun-filled place are happier than others.If so,you have somemistaken ideas about the nature of happiness.Many intelligent people still equate happiness with fun.The truth is that fun andhappiness have little or nothing in common.Fun is what we experience during an act.Happiness is what we experience after an act.It is a deeper,more abiding emotion.Going to an amusement park or ball game,watching a movie or television,are fun activities that help us relax,temporarily forget our problems and maybeeven laugh.But they do not bring happiness,because their positive effects endwhen the fun ends.I have often thought that if Hollywood stars have a role to play,it is to teachus that happiness has nothing to do with fun.These rich,beautiful individuals haveconstant access to glamorous parties,fancy cars,expensive homes,everything thatspells“happiness”.But in memoir after memoir,celebrities reveal the unhappinesshidden beneath all their fun:depression,alcoholism,drug addiction,broken marriages,troubled children and profound loneliness.Ask a bachelor why he resists marriage even though he finds dating to be less andless satisfying.If hes honest,he will tell you that he is afraid of making a commit-ment.For commitment is in fact quite painful.The single life is filled with fun,adventure and excitement.Marriage has such moments,but they are not its mostdistinguishing features.Similarly,couples that choose not to have children are deciding in favor of painlessfun over painful happiness.They can dine out ever they want and sleep as late asthey want.Couples with infant children are lucky to get a whole nighf s sleep or athree-day vacation.I dont know any parent who would choose the word fun todescribe raising children.Understanding and accepting that true happiness has nothing to do with fun is oneof the most liberating realizations we can ever come to.It liberates time:now wecan devote more hours to activities that can genuinely increase our happiness.Itliberates money:buying that new car or those fancy clothes that will do nothingto increase our happiness now seems pointless.And it liberates us from envy:wenow understand that all those rich and glamorous people we were so sure are happybecause they are always having so much fun actually may not be happy at all.l .Which of the following is true?A.Fun creates long-lasting satisfaction.B.Fun provides enjoyment while pain leads to happiness.C.Happiness is enduring whereas fun is short-lived.D.Fun that is long-standing may lead to happiness.2.To the author,Hollywood stars all have an important role to play that is to _,A.rite memoir after memoir about their happiness.B.tell the public that happiness has nothing to do with fun.C.teach people how to enjoy their lives.D.bring happiness to the public instead of going to glamorous parties.3.1 n the authors opinion,marriage_,A.affords greater fun.B.leads to raising children.C.indicates commitment.D.ends in pain.4.Couples having infant children_.A.are lucky since they can have a whole nighfs sleep.B.find fun in tucking them into bed at night.C.find more time to play and joke with them.D.derive happiness from their endeavor.5.1 f one get the meaning of the true sense of happiness,he will_.A.stop playing games and joking with others.B.make the best use of his time increasing happiness.C.give a free hand to money.D.keep himself with his family.第二篇(Unit one Passage 2)Once it was possible to define male and female roles easily by the division of labor.Men worked outside the home and earned the income to support their families,whilewomen cooked the meals and took care of the home and the children.These roleswere firmly fixed for most people,and there was not much opportunity for womento exchange their roles.But by the middle of this century,mens and womens roleswere becoming less firmly fixed.In the 1950s,economic and social success was the goal of the typical American.Butin the 1960s a new force developed called the counterculture.The people involved inthis movement did not value the middle-class American goals.The counterculturepresented men and women with new role choices.Taking more interest in childcare,men began to share child-raising tasks with their wives.In fact,some young menand women moved to communal homes or farms where the economic and childcareresponsibilities were shared equally by both sexes.In addition,many Americans didnot value the traditional male role of soldier.Some young men refused to be draftedas soldiers to fight in the war in Vietnam.In terms of numbers,the counterculture was not a very large group of people.Butits influence spread to many parts of American society.Working men of all classesbegan to change their economic and social patterns.Industrial workers and businessexecutives alike cut down on“overtime”work so that they could spend more leisuretime with their families.Some doctors,lawyers,and teachers turned away from highpaying situations to practice their professions in poorer neighborhoods.In the 1970s,the feminist movement,or womens liberation,produced additionaleconomic and social changes.Women of all ages and at all levels of society were entering the work force in greater numbers.Most of them still took traditional womensjobs as public school teaching,nursing,and secretarial work.But some womenbegan to enter traditionally male occupations:police work,banking,dentistry,andconstruction work.Women were asking for equal work,and equal opportunities forpromotion.Today the experts generally agree that important changes are taking place in theroles of men and women.Naturally,there are difficulties in adjusting to these trans-formations.1.Which of the following best express the main idea of Paragraph 1?A.Women usually worked outside the home for wages.B.Men and womens roles were easily exchanged in the past.C.Mens roles at home were more firmly fixed than women9s.D.Men and womens roles were usually quite separated in the past.2.Which sentence best expresses the main idea of Paragraph 2?A.The first sentence.B.The second and the third sentences.C.The fourth sentence.D.The last sentence.3.In the passage the author proposes that the counterculture_.A.destroyed the United States.B.transformed some American values.C.was not important in the United States.D.brought people more leisure time with their families.4.It could be inferred from the passage that_.A.men and women will never share the same goals.B.some men will be willing to exchange their traditional male roles.C.most men will be happy to share some of the household responsibilities with their wives.D.more American households are headed by women than ever before.5.The best title for the passage may be _A.Results of Feminist Movements B.New influence in American LifeC.Counterculture and Its consequence D.Traditional Division of Male and Female Roles.第三篇(Unit one Passage 3)Recent research has claimed that an excess of positive ions in the air can havean ill effect on peoples physical or psychological health.What are positive ions?Well,the air is full of ions,electrically charged particles,and generally there is arough balance between the positive and the negative charged.But sometimes thisbalance becomes disturbed and a larger proportion of positive ions are found.Thishappens naturally before thunderstorm,earthquakes when winds such as the Mistral,Hamsin or Sharav are blowing in certain countries.Or it can be caused by a buildup of static electricity indoors from carpets or clothing made of man-made fibers,orfrom TV sets,duplicators or computer display screens.When a large number of positive ions are present in the air many people experi-ence unpleasant effects such as headaches,fatigue,irritability,and some particularlysensitive people suffer nausea or even mental disturbance.Animals are also affected,particularly before earthquakes,snakes have been observed to come out of hibernation,rats to flee from their burrows,dogs howl and cats jump about unaccountably.This has led the US Geographical Survey to fund a network of volunteers to watchanimals in an effort to foresee such disasters before they hit vulnerable areas such asCalifornia.Conversely,when large numbers of negative ions are present,then people have afeeling of well-being.Natural conditions that produce these large amounts are nearthe sea,close to waterfalls or fountains,or in any place where water is sprayed,orforms a spray.This probably accounts for the beneficial effect of a holiday by thesea,or in the mountains with tumbling streams or waterfalls.To increase the supply of negative ions indoors,some scientists recommend the useof ionisers:small portable machines,which generate negative ions.They claim thationisers not only clean and refresh the air but also improve the health of peoplesensitive to excess positive ions.Of course,there are the detractors,other scientists,who dismiss such claims and are skeptical about negative/positive ion research.There-fore people can only make up their own minds by observing the effects on themselves,or on others,of a negative rich or poor environment.After all it is debatablewhether depending on seismic readings to anticipate earthquakes is more effectivethan watching the cat.1.What effect does exceeding positive ionization have on some people?A.They think they are insane.B.They feel rather bad-tempered and short-fussed.C.They become violently sick.D.They are too tired to do anything.2.In accordance with the passage,static electricity can be caused by_A.using home-made electrical goods.B.wearing clothes made of natural materials.C.walking on artificial floor coverings.D.copying TV programs on a computer.3.A high negative ion count is likely to be found_ A.near a pound with a water pump.B.close to a slow-flowing river.C.high in some barren mountains.D.by a rotating water sprinkler.4.What kind of machine can generate negative ions indoors?A.Ionizers.B.Air-conditioners.C.Exhaust-fans D.Vacuum pumps.5.Some scientists believe that_.A.watching animals to anticipate earthquakes is more effective than depending onseismography.B.the unusual behavior of animals cannot be trusted.C.neither watching nor using seismographs is reliable.D.earthquake cannot affect any animals.第四篇(Unit one Passage 4)A study of art history might be a good way to learn more about a culture than is possible to learn in general history classes.Most typical history courses concentrate onpolitics,economics,and war.But art history focuses on much more than this because art reflects not only the political values of a people,but also religious beliefs,emotions,and psychology.In addition,information about the daily activities of our ancestorsor of people very different from our owncan be provided by art.In short,artexpresses the essential qualities of a time and a place,and a study of it clearly offerus a deeper understanding than can be found in most history books.In history books,objective information about the political life of a country is presented;that is,facts about politics are given,but opinions are not expressed.Art,on theother hand,is subjective:it reflects emotions and opinions.The great Spanish painter Francisco Goya was perhaps the first truly“political”artist.In his well-known painting The Third of May 1808,he criticized the Spanish government for its misuse ofpower over people.Over a hundred years later,symbolic images were used in PabloPicassos Guernica to express the horror of war.Meanwhile,on another continent,the powerful paintings of Diego Rivera,Jose Clemente Orozco,and David Alfaro Siqueirosas well as the works of Alfredo Ramos Martinesdepicted these Mexican artists deep anger and sadness about social problems.In the same way,art can reflect a cultures religious beliefs.For hundreds of years in Europe,religious art was almost the only type of art that existed.Churches and other religious buildings were filled with paintings that depicted people and stories from the Bible.Although most people couldnt read,they could still understand biblicalstories in the pictures on church walls.By contrast,one of the main characteristics of art in the Middle East was(and still is)its absence of human and animal images.This reflects the Islamic belief that statues are unholy.1.More can be learned about a culture from a study of art history than general history because art history.A.show us the religious and emotions of a people in addition to political values.B.provide us with information about the daily activities of people in the past.C.give us an insight into the essential qualities of a time and a place.D.all of the above.2.Art is subjective in that_,A.a personal and emotional view of history is presented through it.B.it can easily rouse our anger or sadness about social problems.C.it will find a ready echo in our hearts.D.both B and C.3.Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?A.Unlike Francisco Goya,Pablo and several Mexican artists expressed their political opinions in their paintings.B.History books often reveal the compilers9 political views.C.Religious art remained in Europe for centuries the only type of art because most people regarded the Bible as the Holy Book.D.All the above mentioned.4.The passage is mainly discussing_.A.the difference between general history and art history.B.The making of art history.C.What can we learn from art.D.The influence of artists on art history.5.In may be concluded from this passage thatA.Islamic artists have had to create architectural decorations with images of flowersor geometric forms.B.History teachers are more objective than general history.C.It is more difficult to study art history than general history.D.People and stories from the Bible were painted on churches and other buildings in order to popularize the Bible.第 五 篇(Unit 2 Passage 1)If the old maxim that the customer is always right still has meaning,then the airlines that ply the
