13、andard of living? Obviously, it must include the basic necessities of life such as food, clothing and shelter. To get these necessities on regular basis, a person must have a reliable income. But we have other needs which would probably also be included as basic, such as health and education facilit
14、ies. We may think of all of these as our needs. Yet most of us would be far from satisfied if we had nothing more than these which are supplied for us. We all enjoy extra income to spend on things like books, sports or hobbies. Sometimes we save some of this extra income to pay for future expense of
15、 this type on holidays. So we must add our wants to our basic needs. Our standard of living is the degree, to which these needs and wants are satisfied. But as time goes on, what we think of as our basic needs change. Twenty years ago a television would have been a luxury, and still is in many count
16、ries now. Even now we cannot say it is a need in the same sense as food, clothing and shelter. Yet if most of the people of a country have one, it comes to be accepted as a need. It is possible therefore to have food, clothing and shelter and still be poor by the standards of our own society.（分数：10.
17、00）(1).What we need in life is divided into_according to this article.（分数：2.00）A.the basic necessities and luxuryB.many kinds of need such as food, clothing and housesC.four groups the basic necessities, luxury, reliable income and future expenseD.the basic necessities and reliable income(2).A perso
18、n who gets the basic necessities must_according to the writer.（分数：2.00）A.have a reliable incomeB.learn how to please his managerC.finish his work ahead the timeD.get a good education(3).We all enjoy_.（分数：2.00）A.having only reliable incomeB.having reliable income and extra incomeC.having nothing more
19、 than food and clothingD.having nothing more than reliable income(4).With time going on, _.（分数：2.00）A.a luxury may change into a need which most people want to getB.the basic needs are getting smaller and smallerC.a luxury and the basic needs can be exchangedD.the basic needs can be changed into a l
20、uxury(5).If most of the people of a country have a television, we_.（分数：2.00）A.can say the television is a needB.can say the television is a luxuryC.cannot say the television is in many countries nowD.can say every family must have oneMost Americans are very conscious of their health and try to maint
21、ain a nutritious diet and daily routines to maintain good health. Yet, for many years the tobacco and liquor industries have tried to project the image of style and fashion for those who use their products. Most have learned, however, that the dangers caused to health by tobacco and alcohol can no l
22、onger be denied or ignored. The campaigns to alert the public to the evils of these two social drugs have been intense and effective. However, most people dislike being warned that they shouldnt do something. It is a kind of psychological resistance. Yet, all tobacco and liquor products must now con
23、tain a warning on the package. The warning is simple, but the message is clear: smoking and drinking are hazardous to health. The wording may vary, but it is phrased in such a way as to draw the attention of the consumer to the danger. On TV all tobacco advertising is legally banned, and every ad in
24、 a magazine must display the warning. There are many public notices on trains and buses giving out the warning that smoking is linked to lung cancer and other lung and heart diseases. The warning against alcohol consumption is of a different kind. It goes out especially to women who are pregnant and
25、 anyone operating a car or electrical machinery. A pregnant woman can cause damage to her baby by drinking alcohol. Also anyone operating a machine runs the risk of an accident which could be fatal. Such warnings appear on all wine bottles and even an apparently harmless can of beer.（分数：10.00）(1).To
26、bacco and liquor ads try to make people believe that smoking and drinking will_.（分数：2.00）A.make them look fashionableB.help them keep a nutritious dietC.make them conscious of their healthD.show their healthy images to others(2).In the case of smoking and drinking, most people_.（分数：2.00）A.ignore the
27、 campaigns against themB.are aware of the dangers they causeC.do not really believe their dangersD.participate in campaigns against them(3).It can be inferred from the passage that the campaign against smoking is_.（分数：2.00）A.short-livedB.long-standingC.widespreadD.well organized(4).Tobacco advertisi
28、ng is_.（分数：2.00）A.popularizedB.restrictedC.bannedD.disliked(5).Warnings against drinking are usually directed at_.（分数：2.00）A.civiliansB.car driversC.young peopleD.some groups of peopleThere is a definite possibility that the climate of the world may be changing. Some scientists imagine that this cou
29、ld even mean the beginning of another ice age. The effects of such a change in climate on the human population of the world would be startling. Recent research suggests that the general warming trend of the past hundred years or so may be coming to an end. During the past ten years, meteorologists t
30、ell us the average temperature of the earth has dropped about one degree Fahrenheit. This does not seem like much, but it could have effects on wind and rain patterns which influence the overall weather picture. If these patterns change a lot, it could mean that certain regions of the world may cont
31、inue to have long droughts while others will possibly suffer from widespread flooding. What regulates the climate is not exactly known. Meteorologists believe that clouds may be an important factor in regulating the amount of solar heat held by the earth, which in turn determines the temperature of
32、the planet. Another possibility is that man s industrial and agricultural methods may be affecting the natural weather patterns. However, the weather is not understood well enough for scientists to say for certain what is happening to the climate and what side effects this will actually have on the
33、world s population.（分数：10.00）(1).According to the text, the climate of the world seems to_.（分数：2.00）A.be getting colderB.be getting warmerC.remain the same in the past ten yearsD.have good effects on the world s population(2).According to what you have read, which of the following is TRUE?（分数：2.00）A
34、.Man s activities have no effect on the climate.B.Another ice age will come soon.C.People dont care about the changing climate.D.Scientists are not yet sure about the reason for the changing climate.(3).A meteorologist is a person who_.（分数：2.00）A.reads weather forecasts on radio or televisionB.think
35、s there will be another ice ageC.studies and knows about the weatherD.believes there will be widespread flooding(4).Which of the following may be factors that affect the natural weather patterns?（分数：2.00）A.Clouds.B.The amount of heat the earth receives.C.Man s industrial and agricultural methods.D.A
36、ll of the above.(5).The best title for the text would be_.（分数：2.00）A.Droughts and FloodsB.MeteorologistsC.Changing ClimateD.Solar HeatHappiness can be described as a positive mood and a pleasant state of mind. According to recent polls(民意测试), sixty to seventy percent of Americans consider themselves
37、 to be moderately happy and one in twenty persons feel very unhappy. Psychologists have been studying the factors that contribute to happiness. It is not predictable nor is a person in an apparently ideal situation necessarily happy. The ideal situation may have little to do with his actual feelings
38、. A good education and income are usually considered necessary for happiness. Though both may contribute, they are only chief factors if the person is seriously undereducated or actually suffering from lack of physical needs. The rich are not likely to be happier than the middle-income group or even
39、 those with very low incomes. People with college education are somewhat happier than those who did not graduate from high school, and it is believed that this is mainly because they have more opportunity to control their lives. Yet people with a high income and a college education may be less happy
40、 than those with the same income and no college education. Poor health does not rule out happiness except for the severely disabled or those in pain. Learning to cope with a health problem can contribute to happiness. Those with a good sex life are happier in general, but those who have a loving, af
41、fectionate relationship are happier than those who rely on sex alone. Love has a higher correlation with happiness than any other factors. It should be noted that people quickly get used to what they have, and they are happiest when they feel they are increasing their level no matter where it stands
42、 at a given time. Children whose parents were happily married have happier childhoods yet they are not necessarily happier adults when they grow up. The best formula for happiness is to be able to develop the ability to tolerate frustration, to have a personal involvement and commitment, and to deve
43、lop self-confidence and self-esteem.（分数：10.00）(1).It can be inferred from the passage that_.（分数：2.00）A.happiness is predictableB.a person in an apparently ideal situation must be happyC.happiness is not necessarily connected to one s situation in societyD.the rich are likely to be happier than the m
44、iddle-income group(2).People with college education_.（分数：2.00）A.have less opportunity to control their livesB.have more opportunity to control their livesC.are not happier than those who have only an education at high schoolD.are much happier than those who did not graduate from high school(3).Accor
45、ding to the article, happiness is greatly dependent upon_.（分数：2.00）A.a happy childhoodB.great wealthC.a college degreeD.a feeling that conditions are becoming for the better(4).Which of the following is most likely to contribute to happiness?（分数：2.00）A.Being exceptionally good-looking.B.Having a goo
46、d paying job.C.Having a loving, affectionate relationship.D.Meeting lots of people.(5).Which of the following attitude or feeling is most likely to be found in happy people?（分数：2.00）A.Having self-esteem.B.Being sure of keeping everything they already have.C.Never being jealous.D.Knowing how to be ch
