When we offer our best wishes to others， we say: “May you be happy every day”. But there are always things that prevent people from feeling happy.

First， perhaps the biggest is genetics（遺傳學(xué)）. Some scientists say that some people are 1 happier than others. Besides， 2 life events as well as social and economic factors can also 3 in the way of happiness. Third， there’s 4 affecting your happiness， for diseases， if any， bring you trouble and pain.

Is it possible that people can find 5 happiness with so many factors preventing them? Positive psychologists believe it’s 6 for people to stay happy for long periods， although it cannot be lasting. Psychologists argue that day-to-day happiness 7 on pleasures and gratifications (滿足).

Pleasures are rich 8 that simply make us feel good —— things like eating cake or drinking wine. Gratifications are activities that we like to do and we give all we have to them. They’re often 9 ， and we have to draw on personal skills and strengths to perform them. For some people， gratifications come with work. Doctors， for example， often become so 10 in an operation that hours pass without 11 the time. For others， it may be 12 like gardening or stamp collecting.

Too often， people choose pleasure over gratification because it’s easier and people can 13 feel the effects. Always choosing pleasures over gratifications， however， prevents people from developing their personal 14 ， which， if they’re not put to work， die. Pleasures shouldn’t be given up completely， however. They should be chosen 15 ， for not selecting pleasures in a sensible way in turn causes other troubles.

Ⅱ. 閱讀 (共兩節(jié)， 滿分50分)

第一節(jié) 閱讀理解(共20小題；每小題2分，滿分40分)

閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的A、B、C和D項中，選出最佳選項，并在答題卡上將該項涂黑。

A

IF and WHEN were friends. Every week they met and their conversation usually centered on all the things they were going to achieve. This particular Saturday when they met， WHEN sensed that IF was not in a great mood. WHEN questioned IF，“What’s wrong with you? You don’t seem your usual cheery self?”IF looked at WHEN and replied， “I just don’t feel I am making any progress. Last week I saw a course and wanted to take if only I had the time to take it.” WHEN knew exactly how IF felt. “I too saw a course and I am going to register when I get enough money.” said WHEN， “What about that new job you were going to apply for? You were so excited about it last week.” IF responded， “If my computer didn’t break down last week， I would have applied. So I could not type my resume.”

“Don’t worry about it， when you are ready another job will come through. I have been thinking about looking for another job too， but I will wait and when the weather gets nicer I will look then.” WHEN then went on to tell IF about his week， hoping that it would cheer him up a bit.

The man at the next table couldn’t help overhearing WHEN and IF. “Excuse me gentlemen，” the man said. Surprised， IF and WHEN both looked at the man. The man continued， “I’m sorry， but I couldn’t help hearing your conversation. I think I know how you could solve your problems.” Curious， IF asked the gentleman， “How do you think you can solve our problems?” The gentleman smiled and said， “You only need to listen to yourselves. It reminds me of an old proverb: ‘If and When were planted， and Nothing grew’.” The gentleman went on， “Just start doing， take action， and stop talking about‘if and when’.” IF and WHEN suddenly realized that what the gentleman had said was so true. Both of them were guilty of thinking and living their life for the “ifs and whens”. The gentleman left and their conversation changed. They made up their mind that when they met for lunch next week， there would be no “ifs and whens”; they would only talk about what they accomplished! Soon another week came.

My name is Jason. Like most authors， I am one of those who do not believe in love at first sight until I experience it myself. It all started like this. I was with a few friends at McDonalds when a group of girls came and took their seats. There was this girl， quite outstanding for the smile she was wearing. While they were at the counter ordering their food， I noticed they all had a disability， and they could not talk. But， this was not considered a disability to me， so I walked up to ask for her number. She was surprised. But she eventually gave me her address and her name is Elaine. She did not have a phone at home and there was no need for her.

After a few days， I sent her a letter， asking her out on a date the following Saturday. We were supposed to meet at the cinema. She appeared， wearing that same smile that caught me. In order to communicate， I needed to get a pen and paper. I asked her about how she felt about me. She told me she was very happy， but at the same time， she was worried as she could not define whether my love was out of sympathy or was it from my heart. From that moment， I have been asking myself the question， until a month later I finally made up my mind. I was really in love with her， not for her disability that I sympathize， not for that she is pretty， but for the fact that I love her...

I went to her home. I pulled her out of her home and ran to the park in front of her block of flats. I told her how I felt. She took the pen and wrote this sentence， “I love you too， but now that I am assured that you love me for what I am and not out of sympathy， I feel that I will not regret the decision.”Now， we have been together for two years and although we have not planned to get married， I have never once quarrel with her， and I never will.

Love is magical， which helps us erase the prejudice against disability and discover a person’s inner beauty.

We are not born with courage， but neither are we born with fear. Maybe some of our fears are brought on by your own experience， by what someone has told you， by what you’ve read in the papers. Some fears are reasonable， like walking alone in a bad part of town at two o’clock in the morning. But once you learn to avoid that situation， you won’t need to live in fear of it. Fears， even the most basic ones， can totally destroy our ambitions. Fear can destroy fortunes and relationships. If left unchecked， it can destroy our lives. Fear is one of the many enemies hidden inside us.

Let me tell you about four other enemies we face from within.

The first enemy we face is hesitation， which is the thief of opportunity. It will steal your chances for a better future. The second enemy inside is doubt. Sure， there’s room for healthy skepticism. You can’t believe everything. But you also can’t let doubt take over. Many people doubt the past， the future and even the opportunities. Worst of all， they doubt themselves. Doubt will destroy your life and your chances of success. It will empty both your bank account and your heart.

The third enemy within is worry. Just don’t let it conquer you. Instead， let it alarm you. Worry can be useful. But you can’t let worry loose like a mad dog that drives you into a small corner. Here’s what you’ve got to do with your worries: drive them into a small corner. Whatever is pushing on you， you’ve got to push back.

The fourth interior enemy is overcaution. It is the timid approach to life. Timidity is not a virtue; it’s an illness. Timid people don’t get promoted. They don’t advance and grow and become powerful in the marketplace.

Do battle with the enemies. Do battle with your fears. Build your courage to fight what’s holding you back， and what’s keeping you from your goals and dreams. Be courageous in your life and in your pursuit of the things you want and the person you want to become!

36. Some people are fearful because _________.

A. they are not born with courage

B. their friends sometimes scare them

C. they are affected by their experiences

D. they are cheated by the newspapers

37. The underlined word “skepticism”(Para. 3) probably means _________.

A. disbelief B. hesitation

C. discouragement D. self-determination

38. It can be inferred from the text that _________.

A. it’s not wise to walk alone in a bad part of town

B. it’s impossible for timid people to get a promotion

C. overcaution causes more serious results than worry

D. fears have a negative effect on people’s life

39. Which of the following is NOT a sensible way to battle with worry?

A. Drive worry into a small corner in your heart.

B. Fight something that is holding you back.

C. Ignore the problem for a while.

D. Conquer worry instead of being conquered.

40. The passage is mainly about __________.

A. problems and results caused by fear

B. enemies we are facing from within

C. how to be courageous and fearless

D. ways to achieve goals and realize dreams

D

Common sense might tell us that when a volcano starts erupting， the best thing to do is run away. But for a small group of photographers， news of a new erupting volcano somewhere in the world means one thing: It’s time to get on a plane.

In early April， Martin Rietze spent three sleepless nights next to a large rock about 500 meters from the mouth of Iceland’s recently reawakened Eyjafjallajkull volcano. Why sleepless? Because when a volcano is throwing car-sized pieces of rock into the air， you can’t close your eyes for a second. “It’s too dangerous to sleep， so you have to stay up，” he says.

There are volcano photographers all over the world， although only perhaps a couple hundred of them. The Internet has allowed them to share their work and tips. “It’s a labor of love， because they all know they can’t make a living at it”， says Richard Roscoe， a patent examiner from Britain. “Seeing an eruption in progress is frightening，” says Jim Stimac， an engineer from Indonesia. He says he tries to be as cautious as possible.

But even the most experienced can lose their lives. Volcanologists Katia Drafft and her husband Maurice Drafft from France， and Harry Glicken from the US died in an eruption on Mount Unzen in Japan on June 3， 1991， along with 41 journalists.

Professional volcanologists “think we’re mad.” Roscoe says. Though not all in the academic field look down on them， Richard Wunderman， who edits the Bulletin of the Global Volcanism Network， says he often relies on amateurs for reports and photos of eruptions that would otherwise go unrecorded. “They’re an amazing resource，” he says， “The hardest part about capturing the power of a volcano in a photo isn’t getting close enough， but getting a clear view”， says Arnold Binas， a computer scientist in Sydney. “Clouds， fog and steam often block the view”， he says. “Patience is the key.”

A chemical engineer wears a climbing helmet， a gas mask and gloves. “They’re very important because fresh lava can be very sharp， so if you put your hand down， you can get hurt badly，” he says.

41. At the news of a new erupting volcano， some photographers will probably ________.

A. stay sleepless to protect themselves

B. go to the spot and take photos

C. get online to search more information

D. become crazy and ignore their common sense

42. It can be inferred from the text that ________.

A. volcano photographers share their experience through Internet

B. it is common for people to run away when a volcano erupts

C. Katia Drafft and her husband are experienced volcanologists

D. some photographers complain that they cannot earn money from their hobby

43. Arnold Binas believes that capturing the power of a volcano mainly lies in ___________.

A. love B. distance

C. experience D. patience

44. Who approves of the work of amateur photographers?

A. Richard Wunderman. B. Patrick Koster.

C. Jim Stimac. D. Martin Rietze.

45. The attitude of the writer is ___________.

A. approval B. neutral

C. disapproval D. praise

A.

Dear editor，

I’m very upset at the moment， because I didn’t pass the recent exam. I did everything I could to improve my grades， but I still failed. Sometimes I even want to leave school to find a job. What should I do? I really need your help.

B.

Dear editor，

I am fond of playing the piano. But the college entrance examination is approaching， and I must get well prepared for it. So I have only 15 minutes to play the piano every day. I do not want to give up my favorite， but my parents and teachers are strongly against me to continue playing it. They think it is a waste of time. What should I do?

C.

Dear Editor，

I’m an out-going girl， but I lose my temper for no reason at times. This really influences my studies and my ability to get along with others. I know it’s bad， but I just can’t control myself. How can I avoid this?

D.

Dear editor，

The national college entrance examination is approaching. I’m feeling more and more pressure. I know I must focus all my attention on my studies， but I just can’t. There are so many temptations — fascinating novels， interesting movies and so on. What can I do?

E.

Dear editor，

I’m a Senior 3 student. I am always troubled by my feelings. Sometimes I really want to study hard， but after a few days， I begin to lose heart. I fail to keep myself motivated. I even wander in class. What should I do?

F.

Dear editor，

I’m going to take the national college entrance examination next month. I am becoming more and more nervous about it. I’m a country boy. I must go to university and， after graduation， find a fob to support my family. I want my parents to have a rich life in the future. So I’m feeling huge pressure. What can I do?

Dear Xiaoming，

I am very sorry to hear about your disappointment but I am happy to hear how hard you’re working. So， even if you don’t pass the exam， you are still learning valuable lessons that will prepare you for getting a good job. Good luck!

Editor

47.

Dear Xiao Fei，

Part of growing up is learning to identify our weaknesses. So it is good that you see that you are bad-tempered. This is a problem you do have to solve because people don’t like being around an ill-tempered person. The next time you find yourself getting angry， count to 10 in your head before you say anything. This will allow you time to think before you act， and it will prevent you from saying hurtful things.

Editor

48.

Dear Daniel，

Everybody feels pressure， especially around exam time. The trick is to find a balance， and a stable routine. Never spend more than a couple of hours studying without a break. There are always other options. Never believe that one event is the end of the world or it will continue to scare you. Don’t panic about a future that hasn’t happened yet. Your parents will still be proud of no matter what the result will be. Just try your best.

Editor

49.

Dear Liang zhaohe，

Try and remember that the college entrance exam will one day be over. When it is， you’ll have plenty of time to return to playing the piano. So for now you should focus on the exam and use those 15 minutes as a break where you can relax and enjoy yourself. Of course， you should never give up what you love， but for now， think of it as simply putting playing the piano on hold.

Editor

50.

Dear Amy，

If you know you should focus your attention on studying， then go ahead and try your best to do so. You need to be disciplined. It’s also a good idea to reward yourself for getting work done. For example， do 45 minutes of work and then take half an hour off to read or watch TV. Also， try to do your work at the beginning of the day， so that once it’s done you can take the rest of the day off.

People laughed at the thought of an army of sixty thousand crossing the Alps because there was no road at all there. But Napoleon， with great determination， gave the order to march.

I 語言知識及應(yīng)用 (共兩節(jié)，滿分45分)

第一節(jié) 完形填空 (共15小題，每小題2分，滿分30分)

本文講述了阻礙人們獲得快樂的原因以及如何保持快樂的心態(tài)。

1. C 根據(jù)前文中的“genetics”（遺傳學(xué)），可知選naturally（天然地、天生地）。

2. B 指“重大的(major)”生活事件以及社會、經(jīng)濟(jì)因素可阻礙人們獲得快樂。

3. A 表示“礙事”是stand in the way，與第一段“prevent sb. from doing”相呼應(yīng)。

4. D 根據(jù)下文diseases可推斷，這里應(yīng)該選擇health（健康）。

5. B表示“持久的，恒久的(lasting)”，與該段第2句“although it cannot be lasting”相對應(yīng)。

6. C 與該段第1句possible對應(yīng)，回應(yīng)第1句的問題。句意是：心理學(xué)家認(rèn)為，盡管人們不可能擁有永恒的幸福感，但要體會到長時間的快樂是有可能的。

7. A 根據(jù)第三段可得知，pleasures和gratifications是可以讓人們感到幸福快樂的兩大因素，因此選A。rely on“取決于”，result in“導(dǎo)致”，contribute to“促進(jìn)，有助于”，make up “構(gòu)成”。

8. B 這里experiences在此處表示“體驗，經(jīng)歷”，與eating cake or drinking wine對應(yīng)。

9. D 因為下文提及到“we have to draw on personal skills and strengths（我們要用到個人技能和優(yōu)勢）”，因此選challenging（有挑戰(zhàn)性的）。

10. A 表示醫(yī)生專注于(be absorbed in) 手術(shù)，與前句Gratifications come from work對應(yīng)。

11. B 因醫(yī)生全神貫注于手術(shù)，所以without noticing the time“沒有注意到時間（悄悄流逝）”。

12. C 因hobby與下文“gardening or stamp collecting”相匹配。

13. A 根據(jù)“it’s easier”可推知，人們經(jīng)常選擇獲得快樂感（pleasures）而不是滿足感(gratifications)，是因為人們更容易、更直接（directly）獲得快樂感。

14. D 此處與第四段第3句中的strength相對應(yīng)。第三段第3句提到：人們要想獲得滿足感（gratifications），便要運(yùn)用個人技能和優(yōu)勢，因此，若人們經(jīng)常選擇去獲得快樂感（pleasures）而不是滿足感（gratifications），便會阻礙個人優(yōu)勢的發(fā)揮。

15. B 下文提及“not selecting pleasures in a sensible way in turn causes other troubles”，因此人們需要carefully（慎重地、小心地）選擇獲得快樂感的途徑。

第二節(jié) 語法填空 (共10小題，每小題1.5分，滿分15分)

本文講述國王布魯斯見到蜘蛛織網(wǎng)后受到啟發(fā)，堅持不懈，然后擊退入侵者。

16. when 引導(dǎo)定語從句，先行詞是the times（時代），因此填寫關(guān)系副詞when。

17. against 介詞 against在此表示“反對”。

18. It 固定句型It seemed to sb. that的意思是“對于某人來說，似乎……”。

19. Surprisingly 使用副詞修飾后面整個句子。

20. getting 因get與邏輯主語a spider是主動關(guān)系，故用get的現(xiàn)在分詞形式作賓補(bǔ)。

21. but 表示轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系。

22. to /on 固定搭配fasten A to /on B將A固定在B上，將將A與B牢牢聯(lián)結(jié)在一起。

23. was fought 主語是battle，使用fight的被動形式，表示“打仗”。

24. a 可這樣判斷：spider（蜘蛛）為可數(shù)名詞，不可能只以單數(shù)形式出現(xiàn)，故在前面填冠詞a，表泛指。

25. him 該處使用him作賓語，指代前句出現(xiàn)的Bruce。

34 B詞義指代題。根據(jù)最后一段得知，Jason和Elaine兩人開始相戀，因此選項B正確。該句的意思是：現(xiàn)在我清楚知道，你是真心真意愛我的，而不是出于同情，因此我不會后悔作出（和你在一起）這個決定。

35. A主旨大意題。從文章第一段前兩句，可得知全文只是平實地敘述作者的愛情故事，因此選A。

(C)議論文。本文論述人們內(nèi)心面對的幾個敵人：畏懼、猶豫、懷疑、擔(dān)憂和過分謹(jǐn)慎小心。

36. C 細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段第2句可找到答案。選項A不是人們產(chǎn)生害怕的原因，選項B、D在原文中找不到依據(jù)。

37. A 詞義推斷題。根據(jù)第三段第4句中sure一詞的語氣以及“there’s room for”（有……的空間）推知，該句的翻譯是：當(dāng)然，我們必須為健康合理的懷疑騰出空間。換言之，健康合理的懷疑是必要的。因此skepticism與doubt同義，均表示“懷疑”，因此選A，disbelief表示“不相信”。

38. D 推理判斷題。總結(jié)第一段最后4句，可推斷答案是D。選項A、C在原文中找不到依據(jù)，選項B可直接在倒數(shù)第二段第4句找到，不屬于推斷所得。

39. C 細(xì)節(jié)理解題。選項A可在第四段倒數(shù)第2句找到依據(jù)，選項B與第四段最后1句意思相近，選項D可根據(jù)該段第2、5句總結(jié)得出。

40. B 主旨大意題。根據(jù)第二段可得知，本文論述人們內(nèi)心深處的敵人，本文第一段僅僅是通過人們內(nèi)心深處的敵人之一——畏懼來展開論述，因此可以排除干擾項A。

(D)說明文。本文簡單介紹了熱衷拍攝火山爆發(fā)的攝影家們的危險而刺激的工作。

41. B 細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段最后1句可推斷得出。

42. C 推理判斷題。選項A、B分別是原文第三段第2句、第一段第1句的內(nèi)容，不屬于推理判斷題的范疇。選項C可根據(jù)第四段推斷得出。選項D在原文找不到依據(jù)。

43. D 細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)原文第五段最后1句可找到答案。

44. A 細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)原文第五段第2、3句可找到答案。

45. B 理解作者態(tài)度。本文作者客觀陳述攝影家和專家們的觀點(diǎn)態(tài)度，因此作者的態(tài)度是中立的。

第二節(jié) 讀寫任務(wù)（共1小題，滿分25分）

Napoleon successfully led his soldiers across the Alps， where there were no roads at all. He succeeded because he had a strong belief in success and immediately took action.

Belief plays an important role in one’s success. With belief in mind， one will stick to his goal， overcome the difficulty and eventually achieve his ambition.

Once， I was chosen to enter for an English speech contest on behalf of my class. As a strong-minded boy， I aimed at the champion ship and thus made good preparations for the competition ship. I woke up early to practice my oral English and tried to read as much English as possible to enrich my knowledge. To my delight， I won the championship. It was my strong belief in victory that propelled me to realize my goal.

Belief makes a great difference in our life. As long as we have confidence and are willing to take action，we’re bound to succeed sooner or cater.
