In accepting the Nobel

20、 Prize from the Swedish King in 1980, I said that I had been doubly blessed. For in addition to receiving the recognition and distinction represented by the Nobel Prize, the research itself had given me indescribable pleasure. This kind of bliss is not uniquely(独特地 )available to scientists only. Lit

21、erature, music, art, even business, offers comparable rewards. It is there for all who venture beyond the realm of accepted knowledge and experience. Such adventuiss are challenging and demanding but well worth of the effort. For me, the adventure began as a young boy in secondary school. The wide r

22、ange of questions we asked our teachers were rarely met with direct answers. Instead, our teachers encouraged us to find the answers by leading us to books, and most often to more than we had expected. Frequently, our teachers suggested ways to find the answers by searching the reference books that

23、were available in libraries or by actual experimentation. As we progressed to high school, the teachers encouraged us to ask questions that went beyond our and their knowledge and experience, and to speculate(推测 )on matters we could not find answers to. Later, when I was in a science club, I was cha

24、llenged to solve problems about the natural world by experimentation. Perhaps it was those early experiences that sharpened my appetite for exploring the unknown and seeking solutions. Looking back on that period, I realize now that encouraging young people to discover for themselves the answers is

25、not the easiest way to learn but it is the most rewarding. Developing curiosity and the instinct for seeking creative solutions are perhaps the most important contributions education can make. Schools everywhere would do well to pay attention to that lesson. And students everywhere must accept the r

26、esponsibility that such an educational system places on them. 31 Why did the author say that he had been doubly blessed? （ A） Because he won the Nobel Prize in 1980. （ B） Because he thought the bliss of receiving Nobel Prize was unique. （ C） Because he received pleasure as well as recognition and fa

27、me. （ D） Because he had sought his own path to happiness. 32 What can be inferred from the first paragraph? （ A） People can get much more pleasure if they work on literature, music, art, even business. （ B） People can get indescribable pleasure by venturing beyond the realm of accepted knowledge. （

28、C） If people work in the realm of accepted knowledge and experience, they will get the Nobel Prize. （ D） People who win the Nobel Prize in literature can also win the Noble Prize in music and art. 33 How did the authors teachers encourage them to find the answers? （ A） His teachers didnt give them t

29、he direct answers. （ B） His teachers asked them to make a wide range of questions. （ C） His teachers required them to read more related books. （ D） His teachers suggested them searching the libraries. 34 According to the author, his early experiences_. （ A） made him form a habit of exploring the wor

30、ld and finding the answers （ B） gave him the opportunity to search the reference books in the library （ C） asked him to do some actual experiment day by day （ D） encouraged him to ask questions beyond his knowledge and experience 35 The most important contributions education can make is to_. （ A） en

31、courage young people to find the answers by themselves , （ B） remind the students not to lose their ability to question and discover （ C） pay attention to the lessons that many students have learnt in school （ D） ask students to develop curiosity and the instinct for seeking creative solutions Passa

32、ge Two 35 The pursuit of lasting happiness has long been a subject of interest for scientists and surveys alike. But what makes us really happy and what lasting benefits does happiness have? Earlier this month, scientists from the University of Illinois found the people who are happy and positive ab

33、out life live longer. The researchers found clear and compelling(令人信服的 )evidence that happiness is key when it comes to better health and longer lifespan. Last month a British study, which tracked members of 40 000 households across the country, concluded that eating a family meal at least three tim

34、es a week is the key to happiness because it helps build a strong bond between parents and their children. But happiness might be decided when you were born. Names can apparently predict how happy we are as individuals, with researchers at Manchester Metropolitan University claiming that people call

35、ed Judy and Joshua enjoy life the most. Ben, Andrew and Edward are seen as miserable names on the other hand. Married couples are most likely to be happy with their relationships, according to the study. Research has also suggested that happiness begins at 50. A study from Stony Brook University, Ne

36、w York, found that stress, anger and worry fade after your 50th. Women were also reported to suffer greater stress, worry and sadness at all ages. Money makes the world go round, but it is not the key to happiness, according to other studies. In 2008, a survey found that British families were health

37、ier and twice as well-off as they were 20 years ago, but were not happier. However, other studies have found money can buy you happiness after all, but only if you spend it wisely. Indeed, that might be why a good holiday can boost your happiness levels “for up to two months“ afteralthough the break

38、 has to be “very relaxing“ to have such an effect. 36 What is the key to better health and longer lifespan according to the passage? （ A） Benefits. （ B） Interests. （ C） Happiness. （ D） Family. 37 According to the British study, what is the key to happiness in a family? （ A） Eating a family meal at l

39、east three times a week. （ B） Having a child and buying anything he asks for. （ C） Going to picnic at weekends with friends. （ D） Earning more money for family members. 38 What do researchers at Manchester Metropolitan University claim? （ A） The date one was born can decide his happiness. （ B） Names

40、 can apparently predict how happy one is. （ C） Family can apparently predict how happy one is. （ D） A strong bond between parents and their children is important. 39 The researchers suggest that happiness would begin_. （ A） after marriage （ B） at the age of 50 （ C） after having children （ D） after h

41、aving a good name 40 According to a British urvey, how could money give people happiness? （ A） As long as people have enough money, they can do anything. （ B） People would be happier if they earn more than they did 20 years ago. （ C） The more money people have, the happier they will become. （ D） Peo

42、ple can have happiness only if they spend money wisely. Passage Three 40 Britons are the fattest people in Europe, with one of the worlds fastest obesity(肥胖症 )growth rates, according to a leading international think-tank. The UK comes top out of 20 European Union nations, with almost one in four peo

43、ple so fat they could face an early grave. Levels of fatness in Scottish children are second worst in the world, behind the US, while children in England are eighth worst. Overall, in a study of citizens of the 33 richest countries, the UK is fifth behind the US, Mexico, Chile and New Zealand. Devel

44、oped nations are getting fatter, warns the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development(OECD)which produced the report. The Paris-based watchdog(监督机构 )claims the growing costs of healthcare and wasted resources are making obesity a top priority for many governments. Report author Franco Sas

45、si, a former London School of Economics lecturer, puts the blame on modern lifestyles. He said that food is much cheaper than in the past, in particular food that is not particularly healthy, and people are changing their lifestyles. They have less time to prepare meals and are eating out more in re

46、staurants. There is a frightening increase in the epidemic(流行病 ). Weve not reached the destination yet. According to a report, the lifespan of an obese person is up to 10 years shorter than that of a normal-weight person the same loss of lifespan incurred by smoking. It shows 24 percent of men were

47、rated obese and 25 percent of women in 2008 in the UK. In addition, 42 percent of men are overweight and 32 percent of women, meaning that up to two in three people have their health put at risk by their weight. In Scotland, latest figures show 35 percent of 12 to 15-year-olds are overweight or obes
