31、 eight different languages on the four giant stones are 10 Guides.The origin of this strange monument is covered in mystery because no one knows the true identity of the man, or men, who constructed it.

38、可能性很小，所以许多人不愿意进入百慕大三角地带。故选 B。10What can we know about Loch Ness Monster?AIt existed in the 6th century AD.BIt is said to have a long neck and a large head.CIt has been living in Loch Ness Lake for a long time.DPeople havent reached an agreement on its existence.解析：选 D 细节理解题。根据最后一段第一句可知，关于水怪的故事始于公元 6

45、 dont realize how to get happy语篇解读：本文是一篇议论文。本文谈论的是人们认为的幸福实际上并没有给人们带来幸福，作者就如何才能得到真正的幸福提出了自己的观点。1选 C 根据上文中的“physical conditions”及下文中的 “good standard of living .nice clothes”可知，C 项“我们通过努力掌控我们身边美好的物质条件来获取幸福”与上文相呼应，与“that is”后面的解释也一致。故选 C。202选 F 根据语境可知，很多时候当我们拥有了良好的生活标准，实现了我们想要的目标，拥有了漂亮的房子、车子、衣服时，我们可能就认为
46、这是幸福的关键所在了。F 项“我们可能会认为这就是幸福的关键了”衔接上文，并与下文构成转折，符合语境。故选F。3选 B 根据语境可知，此处分析了不快乐的人的心理。根据“because they have not obtained their goals”可知，许多人不快乐是因为没有达到目标，and 连接和前面并列的内容。B 项“他们没有拥有生活中想要的”也是人们不快乐的原因，并且和下文联系紧密。故选 B。4选 G 上文提到，拥有了良好物质条件的人仍然感到不幸福，没有达到目标的人也感到不幸福，此处作者给出他们感到不幸福的理由，因为“他们没有意识到如何获得快乐” 。由此可知，G 项与上文衔接紧密。故选 G。5选 E 上文提到，本文传递的信息就是要让你明白，你的欲望会告诉你，在生活中要看重什么。由 however 可知，后面的内容应与前面的叙述形成对比，所以 E 项“这时这些欲望不应该左右你的幸福感”符合语境。故选 E。
