Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each

9、 of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center. 15 There are two types of people in the world. Although they have equal degree of health and wealth and other comfor

10、ts of life, one becomes happy and the other becomes unhappy. This arises from the different ways in which they consider things, persons, events and the resulting effects upon their minds. People who are to be happy fix their attention on the convenience of things: the pleasant parts of conversation,

11、 the well prepared dishes, the goodness of the wine and the fine weather. They enjoy all the cheerful things. Those who are to be unhappy think and speak only of the opposite things. Therefore, they are continually dissatisfied. By their remarks, they sour the pleasure of society, hurt many people,

12、and make themselves disagreeable everywhere. If this turn of mind was founded in nature, such unhappy persons would be the more to be pitied. The intention of criticizing(批评 )and being disliked is perhaps taken up by imitation(模仿 ). It grows into a habit, unknown to its possessors. The habit may be

13、strong, but it may be cured when those who have it realize its bad effects on their interests and tastes. I hope this little warning may be of service to them, and help them change this habit. Although in fact it is chiefly an act of the imagination, it has serious results in life since it brings on

14、 deep sorrow and bad luck. Those people offend many others; nobody loves them, and no one treats them with more than the most common politeness and respect. This frequently puts them in bad temper and draws them into arguments. If they aim at getting some advantages in social position or fortune, no

15、body wishes them success. Nor will anyone start a step or speak a word to favor their hopes. If they bring on themselves public objections, no one will defend or excuse them, and many will join to criticize their wrongdoings. These people should change this bad habit and be pleased with what is plea

16、sing, without worrying needlessly about themselves and others. If they do not, it will be good for others to avoid any contact(接触 )with them. Otherwise, it can be disagreeable and sometimes very inconvenient, especially when one becomes mixed up in their quarrels. 16 People who are unhappy_. （ A） al

17、ways consider things differently from others （ B） usually are affected by the results of certain things （ C） usually misunderstand what others think or say （ D） always discover the unpleasant side of certain things 17 The phrase “sour the pleasure of society“ in Paragraph 2 most nearly means （ A） ha

18、ve a good taste with social life （ B） make others unhappy （ C） tend to scold others openly （ D） enjoy the pleasure of life 18 We can conclude from the passage that_. （ A） we should pity all such unhappy people （ B） such unhappy people are dangerous to social life （ C） people can get rid of the habit

19、 of unhappiness （ D） unhappy people can not understand happy persons 19 If such unhappy persons insist on keeping the habit, the author suggests that people should_. （ A） prevent any communication with them （ B） show no respect and politeness to them （ C） persuade them to recognize the bad effects （

20、 D） quarrel with them until they realize the mistakes 20 In this passage, the writer mainly_. （ A） describes two types of people （ B） laughs at the unhappy people （ C） suggests the unhappy people should get rid of the habits of unhappiness （ D） tells people how to be happy in life 20 Photos that you

21、 might have found down the back of your sofa are now big business! In 2005, the American artist Richard Princes photograph of a photograph, Untitled(Cowboy), was sold for $ 1,248,000. Prince is certainly not the only contemporary artist to have worked with so-called “found photographs“ a loose term

22、given to everything from discarded(丢弃的 )prints discovered in a junk shop to old advertisements or amateur photographs from a strangers family album. The German artist Joachim Schmid, who believes “basically everything is worth looking at“, has gathered discarded photographs, postcards and newspaper

23、images since 1982. In his on-going project, Archiv, he groups photographs of family life according to themes: people with dogs; teams; new cars; dinner with the family; and so on. Like Schmid, the editors of several self-published art magazines also champion(捍卫 )found photographs. One of them, calle

24、d simply Found, was born one snowy night in Chicago, when Davy Rothbard returned to his car to find under his wiper(雨刷 )an angry note intended for someone else: “Whys your car HERE at HER place?“ The note became the starting point for Rothbards addictive publication, which features found photographs

25、 sent in by readers, such as a poster discovered in our drawer. The whole found-photograph phenomenon has raised some questions. Perhaps one of the most difficult is: can these images really be considered as art? And if so, whose art? Yet found photographs produced by artists, such as Richard Prince

26、, may raise endless possibilities. What was the cowboy in Princes Untitled doing? Was he riding his horse hurriedly to meet someone? Or how did Prince create this photograph? Its anyones guess. In addition, as we imagine the back-story to the people in the found photographs artists, like Schmid, hav

27、e collated(整理 ), we also turn toward our own photographic albums. Why is memory so important to us? Why do we all seek to freeze in time the faces of our children, our parents, our lovers, and ourselves? Will they mean anything to anyone after weve gone? 21 The first paragraph of the passage is used

28、 to_. （ A） remind readers of found photographs （ B） advise reader to start a new kind of business （ C） ask readers to find photographs behind sofa （ D） show readers the value of found photographs 22 According to the passage, Joachim Schmid_. （ A） is fond of collecting family life photographs （ B） fo

29、und a complaining note under his car wiper （ C） is working for several self-published magazines （ D） wondered at the artistic nature of found photographs 23 The underlined word “them“ in Paragraph 4 refers to_. （ A） the readers （ B） the editors （ C） the found photographs （ D） the self-published maga

30、zines 24 By asking a series of questions in Paragraph 5, the author mainly intends to indicate that_ . （ A） memory of the past is very important to people （ B） found photographs allow people to think freely （ C） the back-story of found photographs is puzzling （ D） the real value of found photographs

31、 is questionable 25 The authors attitude towards found photographs can be described as_. （ A） critical （ B） doubtful （ C） optimistic （ D） satisfied 25 Throughout the history of the arts, the nature of creativity has remained constant to artists. No matter what objects they select, artists are to bri

32、ng forth new forces and forms that cause change to find poetry where no one has ever seen or experienced it before. Landscape(风景 )is another unchanging element of art. It can be found from ancient times through the 17th-century Dutch painters to the 19th-century romanticists and impressionists. In t

33、he 1970s Alfred Leslie, one of the new American realists, continued this practice. Leslie sought out the same place where Thomas Cole, a romanticist, had produced paintings of the same scene a century and a half before. Unlike Cole who insists on a feeling of loneliness and the idea of finding peace

34、 in nature, Ledge paints what he actually sees. In his paintings, there is no particular change in motion, and he includes ordinary things like the highway in the background. He also takes advantage of the latest developments of color photography(摄影术 )to help both the eye and the memory when he impr

35、oves his painting back in his workroom. Besides, all art begs the age-old question: What is real? Each generation of artists has shown their understanding of reality in one form or another. The impressionists saw reality in brief emotional effects, the realists in everyday subjects and in forest sce

36、nes, and the Cro-Magnon cave people in their naturalistic drawings of the animals in the ancient forests. To sum up, understanding reality is a necessary struggle for artists of all periods. Over thousands of years the function of the arts has remained relatively constant. Past or present, Eastern o

37、r Western, the arts are a basic part of our immediate experience. Many and different are the faces of art, and together they express the basic need and hope of human beings. 26 The underlined word “poetry“ most probably means_. （ A） an object for artistic creation （ B） a collection of poems （ C） an

38、unusual quality （ D） a natural scene 27 Leslies paintings are extraordinary because_. （ A） they are close in style to works in ancient times （ B） they look like works by 19th-century painters （ C） they draw attention to common things in life （ D） they depend heavily on color photography 28 What is t

39、he authors opinion of artistic reality? （ A） It will not be found in future works of art. （ B） It does not have a long-lasting standard. （ C） It is expressed in a fixed artistic form. （ D） It is lacking in modern works of art. 29 What does the author suggest about the arts in the last paragraph? （ A

40、） They express peoples curiosity about the past. （ B） They make people interested in everyday experience. （ C） They are considered important for variety in form. （ D） They are regarded as a mirror of the human situation. 30 Which of the following is the main topic of the passage? （ A） History of the

41、 arts. （ B） Basic questions of the arts. （ C） New developments in the arts. （ D） Use of modern technology in the arts. 30 Do you want to live with a strong sense of peacefulness, happiness, goodness, and self-respect? The collection of happiness actions broadly categorized as “honor“ help you create

42、 this life of good feelings. Heres an example to show how honorable actions create happiness. Say a store clerk fails to charge us for an item. If we keep silent, and profit from the clerks mistake, we would drive home with a sense of sneaky excitement. Later we might tell our family or friends abou

43、t our good fortune. On the other hand, if we tell the clerk about the uncharged item, the clerk would be grateful and thank us for our honesty. We would leave the store with a quiet sense of honor that we might never share with another soul. Then, what is it to do with our sense of happiness? In the

44、 first case, where we dont tell the clerk, a couple of things would happen. Deep down inside we would know ourselves as a type of thief. In the process, we would lose some peace of mind and self-respect. We would also demonstrate that we cannot be trusted, since we advertise our dishonor by telling

45、our family and friends. We damage our own reputations by telling others. In contrast, bringing the error to the clerks attention causes different things to happen. Immediately the clerk knows us to be honorable. Upon leaving the store, we feel honorable and our self-respect is increased. Whenever we

46、 take honorable action we gain the deep internal rewards of goodness and a sense of nobility. There is a beautiful positive cycle that is created by living a life of honorable actions. Honorable thoughts lead to honorable actions. Honorable actions lead us to a happier existence. And its easy to thi

47、nk and act honorably again when were happy. While the positive cycle can be difficult to start, once its started, its easy to continue. Keeping on doing good deeds brings us peace of mind, which is important for our happiness. 31 According to the passage, the positive action in the example contribut

48、es to our （ A） self-respect （ B） financial rewards （ C） advertising ability （ D） friendly relationship 32 The author thinks that keeping silent about the uncharged item is equal to_. （ A） lying （ B） stealing （ C） cheating （ D） advertising 33 The phrase “bringing the error to the clerks attention“(in

49、 Para. 5)means_. （ A） telling the truth to the clerk （ B） offering advice to the clerk （ C） asking the clerk to be more attentive （ D） reminding the clerk of the charged item 34 How will we feel if we let the clerk know her mistake? （ A） Well be very excited. （ B） Well feel unfortunate. （ C） Well have a sense of honor. （ D） Well feel sorry for the clerk. 3
