22、appiness actually reduces their chances of ever attaining real happiness. If fun and pleasure are equal to happiness then pain must be equal to unhappiness. But in fact, the opposite is true: more often than not things that lead to happiness involve some pain. As a result, many people avoid the very
23、 attempts that are the source of true happiness. They fear the pain inevitably brought by such things as marriage, raising children, professional achievement, religious commitment (承担的义务), self-improvement. Ask a bachelor (单身汉) why he resists marriage even though he finds dating to be less and less
24、satisfying. If he is honest he will tell you that he is afraid of making a commitment. For commitment is in fact quite painful. The single life is filled with fun, adventure, excitement. Marriage has such moments, but they are not its most distinguishing features. Couples with infant children are lu
25、cky to get a whole night“s sleep or a three-day vacation. I don“t know any parent who would choose the word fun to describe raising children. But couples who decide not to have children never know the joys of watching a child grow up or of playing with a grandchild. Understanding and accepting that
26、true happiness has nothing to do with fun is one of the most liberating realizations. It liberates time: now we can devote more hours to activities that can genuinely increase our happiness. It liberates money: buying that new car or those fancy clothes that will do nothing to increase our happiness
27、 now seems pointless. And it liberates us from envy: we now understand that all those who are always having so much fun actually may not be happy at all.（分数：6.00）(1).According to the author, a bachelor resists marriage chiefly because_.（分数：1.00）A.he is reluctant to take on family responsibilitiesB.h
28、e believes that life will be more cheerful if he remains singleC.he finds more fun in dating than in marriageD.he fears it will put an end to all his fun adventure and excitement(2).Raising children, in the author“s opinion, is_.（分数：1.00）A.a moral dutyB.a thankless jobC.a rewarding taskD.a source of
29、 inevitable pain(3).From the last paragraph, we learn that envy sometimes stems from_.（分数：1.00）A.hatredB.misunderstandingC.prejudiceD.ignorance(4).To understand what true happiness is, one must_.（分数：1.00）A.have as much run as possible during one“s lifetimeB.make every effort to liberate oneself from
30、 painC.put up with pain under all circumstancesD.be able to distinguish happiness from fun(5).What is the author trying to tell us?（分数：1.00）A.Happiness often goes hand in hand with pain.B.One must know how to attain happiness.C.It is important to make commitments.D.It is pain that leads to happiness
31、.(6).According to the author“s opinion,_.（分数：1.00）A.happiness is different from funB.fun always leads to happinessC.happiness is always originated from funD.pain is another kind of happiness十、Passage Two(总题数：1，分数：6.00)It“s very interesting to note where the debate about diversity (多样化) is taking pla
32、ce. It is taking place primarily in political circles. Here at the College Fund, we have a lot of contact with top corporate (公司的) leaders; none of them is talking about getting rid of those instruments that produce diversity. In fact, they say that if their companies are to compete in the global vi
33、llage and in the global market place, diversity is an imperative. They also say that the need for talented, skilled Americans means we have to expand the pool of potential employees. And in looking at where birth rates are growing and at where the population is shifting, corporate America understand
34、s that expanding the pool means promoting policies that help provide skills to more minorities, more women and more immigrants. Corporate leaders know that if that doesn“t occur in our society, they will not have the engineers, the scientists, the lawyers, or the business managers they will need. Li
35、kewise, I don“t hear people in the academy saying “Let“s go backward. Let“s go back to the good old days, when we had a meritocracy (不拘一格选人才)” (which was never truewe never had a meritocracy, although we“ve come closer to it in the last 30 years). I recently visited a great little college in New Yor
36、k where the campus has doubled its minority population in the last six years. I talked with an African American who has been a professor there for a long time, and she remembers that when she first joined the community, there were fewer than a handful of minorities on campus. Now, all of us feel the
37、 university is better because of the diversity. So where we hear this debate is primarily in political circles and in the medianot in corporate board rooms or on college campuses.（分数：6.00）(1).The word “imperative“ (Line 5, Para. 1 ) most probably refers to something_.（分数：1.00）A.superficialB.remarkab
38、leC.debatableD.essential(2).Which of the following groups of people still differ in their views on diversity?（分数：1.00）A.Minorities.B.Politicians.C.Professors.D.Managers.(3).High-ranking corporate leaders seem to be in favor of promoting diversity so as to_.（分数：1.00）A.lower the rate of unemploymentB.
39、win equal political rights for minoritiesC.be competitive in the world marketD.satisfy the demands of a growing population(4).It can be inferred from the passage that_.（分数：1.00）A.meritocracy can never be realized without diversityB.American political circles will not accept diversityC.it is unlikely
40、 that diversity will occur in the U. S. mediaD.minorities can only enter the fields where no debate is heard about diversity(5).According to the passage, diversity can be achieved in American society by_.（分数：1.00）A.expanding the pool of potential employeesB.promoting policies that provide skills to
41、employeesC.training more engineers, scientists, lawyers and business managersD.providing education for all regardless of race or sex(6).The author“s attitude towards diversity is_.（分数：1.00）A.positiveB.neuralC.objectiveD.critical十一、Passage Three(总题数：1，分数：6.00)Psychologist George Spilich and colleague
42、s at Washington College in Chestertown, Maryland, decided to find out whether, as many smokers say, smoking helps them to “think and concentrate“. Spilich put young non-smokers, active smokers and smokers deprived (被剥夺) of cigarettes through a series of tests. In the first test, each subject (试验对象)
43、sat before a computer screen and pressed a key as soon as he or she reeognized a target letter among a grouping of 96. In this simple test, smokers, deprived smokers and nonsmokers performed equally well. The next test was more complex, requiring all to scan sequences of 20 identical letters and res
44、pond the instant one of the letters transformed into a different one. Non-smokers were faster, but under the stimulation of nicotine (尼古丁), active smokers were faster than deprived smokers. In the third test of short-term memory, non-smokers made the fewest errors, but deprived smokers committed few
45、er errors than active smokers. The fourth test required people to read a passage, then answer questions about it. Non-smokers remembered 19 percent more of the most important information than active smokers, and deprived smokers bested those who had smoked a cigarette just before testing. Active smo
46、kers tended not only to have poorer memories but also had trouble separating important information from insignificant details. “As our tests became more complex,“ sums up Spilieh, “non-smokers performed better than smokers by wider and wider margins. “ He predicts, “smokers might perform adequately
47、at many jobs until they got complicated. A smoking airline pilot could fly adequately if no problems arose, but if something went wrong, smoking might damage his mental eapaeity.“（分数：6.00）(1).The purpose of George Spilieh“s experiments is_.（分数：1.00）A.to test whether smoking has a positive effect on
48、the mental eapacity of smokersB.to show how smoking damages people“s mental capacityC.to prove that smoking affects people“s regular performanceD.to find out whether smoking helps people“s short-term memory(2).George Spilich“s experiment was conducted in such a way as to_.（分数：1.00）A.compel the subje
49、cts to separate major information from minor detailsB.put the subjects through increasingly complex testsC.cheek the effectiveness of nicotine on smokersD.register the prompt responses of the subjects(3).The word “bested“ (Line 3, Para. 5) most probably means_.（分数：1.00）A.beatB.enviedC.caught up withD.made the best of(4).Which of the following statements is true?（分数：1.00）A.Active smokers in general performed better than deprived smokers.B.Active smo
