21、D B My favorite English teacher could draw humor out of the driest material. It wasnt forced on us either. He took Samuel Johnsons dictionary, Addisons essays, and many other literary wonders from the eighteenth century and made them hilarious, even at eight oclock in the morning. The thing that ama

22、zed me most was that the first time I read these works on my own some of them seemed dead, but the second time, after his explanation, I couldnt believe that I hadnt seen the humor. The stories and poems and plays were suddenly filled with allusions(典故 ) and irony and hilarious moments. I learned mo

23、re from him than from any other teacher. My least favorite English teacher also made people laugh. Some students found him to be wonderfully funny. Many others did not. He assigned journals over a six week period, to be written in every day. At the end of the six weeks I had a notebook full of bits

24、and pieces about my ideas, short stories, reactions to what we had read, and so on. Our teacher announced that we would be grading each others journals. Mine was passed to Joe, that class clown, who always behaved in a funny or silly way. He saw it fit to make joke of and said, “This writing isnt fi

25、t to line the bottom of a birdcage.” Our teacher laughed at that funny remark. It hurt me so much that the anger from it has driven my writing and teaching ever since. So what makes the difference? Humor is one of the most powerful tools teachers or writers have. It can build up students and classes

26、 and make them excited about literature and writing, or it can tear them apart. It is true that humor is either productive or counter-productive and self-defeating. 24. The passage mainly discusses _. A. teaching B. literature C. humor D. knowledge 25. The underlined word “hilarious” in Paragraph 1

27、probably means _. A. funny B. tiring C. inspiring D. brilliant 26. With his favorite English teacher, the writer found it most amazing that _. A. his teacher was very learned B. his teacher was very humorous C. the works by Johnson and Addison were very humorous D. few were able to find humor in wor

28、ks by Johnson and others 27. The English teacher the writer disliked most _. A. was not able to make students laugh B. hurt his students feelings C. didnt let his students do the grading D. had no sense of humor 解析： 24.主旨题，本文讲述了两位老师如何是自己的课堂幽默 。 25.猜词题 ， 第一段多次出现其近义词，如： humor amaze 等，其次是根据句意 。 26.细节题

29、， 根据 The thing that amazed me most was that the first time I read these works on my own some of them seemed dead, but the second time, after his explanation, I couldnt believe that I hadnt seen the humor.这句话，在老师讲解后，发现这些著作中有很多幽默之处 。 27.细节题 ， 根据倒数第二段最后一句 It hurt me so much that the anger from it has d

30、riven my writing and teaching ever since.可知作者很受伤 。 答案： 24. C 25. A 26. C 27. B C Does money buy happiness? Not! Ah, but would a little more money make us a little happier? Many of us smirk(傻笑，假笑 ) and nod. There is, we believe, some connection between financial fitness and emotional fulfillment. Thr

31、ee in four American college studentsnearly double the 1970 proportion now consider it “very important” or “essential” that they become “very well off financially”. Money matters. But a surprising fact of life is that in countries where nearly everyone can afford lifes necessities, increasing wealth

32、matters surprisingly little. The connection between income and happiness is “surprisingly weak,” observed University of Michigan researcher Ronald Ingle hart in one 16-nation study of 170,000 people. Once comfortable, more money provides diminishing returns(报酬递减 ). The second piece of pie, or the se

33、cond $100,000, never tastes as good as the first. Even lottery winners and the Forbes 100 wealthiest Americans surveyed by University of Illinois psychologist Ed Diener have expressed only slightly greater happiness than the average American. Making it big brings temporary joy. But in the long run w

34、ealth is like health: its complete absence can create suffering, but having it doesnt guarantee happiness. Happiness seems less a matter of getting what we want than of wanting what we have. Has our happiness, however, floated upward with the rising economic tide? Are we happier today than in 1940s,

35、 when two out of five homes lacked a shower or tub? Actually, we are not. Since 1957, the number of Americans who say they are “very happy” has declined from 35 to 32 percent. Meanwhile, the divorce rate has doubled, the teen suicide(自杀 ) rate has increased nearly three times, the violent crime rate

36、 has gone up nearly four times, and depression has mushroomed. Economic growth has provided no boost to human morale. When it comes to psychological well being, it is not the economy. I call this soaring wealth and shrinking spirit “the American paradox.” More than ever, we have big houses and broke

37、n homes, high incomes and low confidence, secured rights and reduced civility. We are good at making a living but often fail at making a life. We celebrate our prosperity(繁荣 ) but long for a purpose. We treasure our freedoms but long for connection. In an age of plenty, we feel spiritual hunger. 28.

38、 Which of the following statements best expresses the authors view? A. The more money we earn, the less returns we have. B. The more money we earn, the happier we would be. C. In the long run, money cannot guarantee happiness. D. In the long run, happiness grows with economy. 29. “The second $100,00

39、0 never tastes as good as the first” because _. A. it is not so fresh as the first $100,000 B. it is not so important as the first $100,000 C. profit brought by it is less than that from the first $100,000 D. happiness brought by it is less than that from the first $100,000 30. According to the pass

40、age, people do well in making a living but dont _. A. have any primary aim B. know how to spend money C. know how to enjoy life D. keep in touch with other people 31. The things that happened after 1957 are given to show that _. A. peoples spiritual needs cannot be fulfilled by wealth B. family prob

41、lems become more and more serious C. young people are not happy about their life D. social crimes have increased significantly 解析： 28.主旨题。本文论述的就是财富的增长和幸福感的增加不是成正比的，从长期角度来看，财富并不能保证幸福。 But in the long run wealth is like health: its complete absence can create suffering, but having it doesnt guarantee

42、happiness. 29.细节题。根据第二段中对美国一些富豪的调查说明 only slightly greater happiness than the average American. 30.细节题。根据此句可知 We are good at making a living but often fail at making a life. 31.推理题。文章第三段提到 1957 年后人们的幸福感并没有增加，而是离婚率、自杀率、犯罪率的升高。 答案： 28. C 29. D 30. C 31. A D Science Fiction The science fiction type of

43、entertainment is considered by most to be fathered by Jules Verne (A Journey to the Center of the Earth and Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea) and H. G. Wells (The Time Machine and The War of the Worlds). Sci-Fi, as it is commonly shortened, is a fictional story in which science and technology h

44、ave a significant influence on the characters and plot. Many such works are guesswork about what the future holds and how scientific findings and technological advances will shape humankind. Writing in the late 1800s, Jules Verne was remarkably successful in his 10 guesses about future technologies

45、of air conditioning, automobiles, the Internet, television, and underwater, air, and space travel. Unbelievably, of all places from which to choose, Jules Verne guessed Tampa, Florida, USA as the launching site of the first project to the Moon, which was only 200 kilometers away from the actual 1969

46、 location at Cape Canaveral, Florida. One of the best-known science fiction books is Nineteen Eighty-Four by George Orwell. Published in 1949, it was not meant as a prediction, but as a warning: Orwell was describing what he saw as the outcome of the ideas, trends, and emerging technologies of his t

47、ime. Many invented terms from this novel have become common in everyday use, such as “big brother” and “doublethink”. Even the authors name has been made into an adjectiveOrwellianand has become a warning descriptor for situations where privacy is lost and the individual becomes sacrifice under a to

48、talitarian(极权主义 ) government. Nineteen Eighty-Four was translated into sixty-five languages within five years of its publication, setting a record that still stands. What helps bring science fiction into being is usually a new discovery or innovation. The author creates an analysis of the potential influence and consequences and then wraps it in a pleasant story. For example, the beginning of space exploration was followed a few years later by the Star Trek television program and movie series. Advances in genetics(遗
