9、world. Although they have equal degree of health and wealth and other comforts 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
10、attention on the convenience of things: the pleasant parts of conversation, 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 dissatisfi
11、ed. By their remarks, they sour the pleasure of society, hurt many people, 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 imitati
12、on (模仿). It grows into a habit, unknown to its possessors. The habit may be 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 a
13、n act of the imagination, it has serious results in life since it brings on 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 argument
14、s. If they aim at getting some advantages in social position or fortune, nobody 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.
15、 These people should change this bad habit and be pleased with what is pleasing, 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
16、 one becomes mixed up in their quarrels.（分数：10.00）(1).People who are unhappy _.（分数：2.00）A.always consider things differently from othersB.usually are affected by the results of certain thingsC.usually misunderstand what others think or sayD.always discover the unpleasant side of certain things(2).Th
17、e phrase “sour the pleasure of society“ in Paragraph 2 most nearly means“_“.（分数：2.00）A.have a good taste with social lifeB.make others unhappyC.tend to scold others openlyD.enjoy the pleasure of life(3).We can conclude from the passage that _.（分数：2.00）A.we should pity all such unhappy peopleB.such u
18、nhappy people are dangerous to social lifeC.people can get rid of the habit of unhappinessD.unhappy people can not understand happy persons(4).If such unhappy persons insist on keeping the habit, the author suggests that people should _.（分数：2.00）A.prevent any communication with themB.show no respect
19、 and politeness to themC.persuade them to recognize the bad effectsD.quarrel with them until they realize the mistakes(5).In this passage, the writer mainly _.（分数：2.00）A.describes two types of peopleB.laughs at the unhappy peopleC.suggests the unhappy people should get rid of the habits of unhappine
20、ssD.tells people how to be happy in life四、Passaga Two(总题数：1，分数：10.00)Photos that you 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 c
21、ontemporary artist to have worked with so-called “found photographs“ a loose term 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
22、 is worth looking at“, has gathered discarded photographs, postcards and newspaper 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 se
23、lf-published art magazines also champion (捍卫) found photographs. One of them, called 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
24、starting point for Rothbards addictive publication, which features found photographs 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
25、if so, whose art? Yet found photographs produced by artists, such as Richard Prince, 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 imag
26、ine the back-story to the people in the found photographs artists, like Schmid, have collated (整理), we also turn toward our own photographic albums. Why is memory so important to us? Why do we al! seek to freeze in time the faces of our children, our parents, our lovers, and ourselves? Will they mea
27、n anything to anyone after weve gone?（分数：10.00）(1).The first paragraph of the passage is used to _.（分数：2.00）A.remind readers of found photographsB.advise reader to start a new kind of businessC.ask readers to find photographs behind sofaD.show readers the value of found photographs(2).According to t
28、he passage, Joachim Schmid _.（分数：2.00）A.is fond of collecting family life photographsB.found a complaining note under his car wiperC.is working for several self-published magazinesD.wondered at the artistic nature of found photographs(3).The underlined word “them“ in Paragraph 4 refers to _.（分数：2.00
29、）A.the readersB.the editorsC.the found photographsD.the self-published magazines(4).By asking a series of questions in Paragraph 5, the author mainly intends to indicate that _.（分数：2.00）A.memory of the past is very important to peopleB.found photographs allow people to think freelyC.the back-story o
30、f found photographs is puzzlingD.the real value of found photographs is questionable(5).The authors attitude towards found photographs can be described as _.（分数：2.00）A.criticalB.doubtfulC.optimisticD.satisfied五、Passage Three(总题数：1，分数：10.00)Throughout the history of the arts, the nature of creativity
31、 has remained constant to artists. No matter what objects they select, artists are to bring forth new forces and forms that cause changeto 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 t
32、he 17th-century Dutch painters to the 19th-century romanticists and impressionists. In the 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
33、before. Unlike Cole who insists on a feeling of loneliness and the idea of finding peace 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
34、 developments of color photography (摄影术) to help both the eye and the memory when he improves 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
35、 reality in brief emotional effects, the realists in everyday subjects and in forest scenes, 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 year
36、s the function of the arts has remained relatively constant. Past or present, Eastern or 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.（分数：10.00）(1).The underlined word “poetr
37、y“ most probably means _.（分数：2.00）A.an object for artistic creationB.a collection of poemsC.an unusual qualityD.a natural scene(2).Leslies paintings are extraordinary because _.（分数：2.00）A.they are close in style to works in ancient timesB.they look like works by 19th-century paintersC.they draw atte
38、ntion to common things in lifeD.they depend heavily on color photography(3).What is the authors opinion of artistic reality?（分数：2.00）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
39、art.(4).What does the author suggest about the arts in the last paragraph?（分数：2.00）A.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.(5).Which
40、 of the following is the main topic of the passage?（分数：2.00）A.History of the arts.B.Basic questions of the arts.C.New developments in the arts.D.Use of modern technology in the arts.六、Passage Four(总题数：1，分数：10.00)Do you want to live with a strong sense of peacefulness, happiness, goodness, and self-r
41、espect? The collection of happiness actions broadly categorized as “honor“ help you create 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 driv
42、e home with a sense of sneaky excitement. Later we might tell our family or friends about 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 n
43、ever share with another soul.Then, what is it to do with our sense of happiness?In the 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 a
44、lso demonstrate that we cannot be trusted, since we advertise our dishonor by telling 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. Up
45、on leaving the store, we feel honorable and our self-respect is increased. Whenever we 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 hon
46、orable actions. Honorable actions lead us to a happier existence. And its easy to think 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

49、now her mistake?（分数：2.00）A.Wei1 be very excited.B.Well feel unfortunate.C.Well have a sense of honor.D.Well feel sorry for the clerk.(5).Which of the following can be the best title of this passage?（分数：2.00）A.How to Live Truthfully.B.Importance of Peacefulness.C.Ways of Gaining Self-respect.D.Happiness Through Honorable Actions.七、Part Vocabulary an(总题数：4
