Obviously, it must include the basic necessities of life such as food, clothing and shelter. To get these necessities on regular basis, a pe
13、rson must have a reliable income. But we have other needs which would probably also be included as basic, such as health and education facilities. We may think of all of these as our needs. Yet most of us would be far from satisfied if we had nothing more than these which are supplied for us. We all
14、 enjoy extra income to spend on things like books, sports or hobbies. Sometimes we save some of this extra income to pay for future expense of this type on holidays. So we must add our wants to our basic needs. Our standard of living is the degree, to which these needs and wants are satisfied. But a
15、s time goes on, what we think of as our basic needs change. Twenty years ago a television would have been a luxury, and still is in many countries now. Even now we cannot say it is a need in the same sense as food, clothing and shelter. Yet if most of the people of a country have one, it comes to be
16、 accepted as a need. It is possible therefore to have food, clothing and shelter and still be poor by the standards of our own society. 31 What we need in life is divided into_according to this article.（A）the basic necessities and luxury（B） many kinds of need such as food, clothing and houses（C） fou
17、r groups the basic necessities, luxury, reliable income and future expense（D）the basic necessities and reliable income32 A person who gets the basic necessities must_according to the writer.（A）have a reliable income（B） learn how to please his manager（C） finish his work ahead the time（D）get a good ed
18、ucation33 We all enjoy_.（A）having only reliable income（B） having reliable income and extra income（C） having nothing more than food and clothing（D）having nothing more than reliable income34 With time going on, _.（A）a luxury may change into a need which most people want to get（B） the basic needs are g
19、etting smaller and smaller（C） a luxury and the basic needs can be exchanged（D）the basic needs can be changed into a luxury35 If most of the people of a country have a television, we_.（A）can say the television is a need（B） can say the television is a luxury（C） cannot say the television is in many cou
20、ntries now（D）can say every family must have one35 Most Americans are very conscious of their health and try to maintain a nutritious diet and daily routines to maintain good health. Yet, for many years the tobacco and liquor industries have tried to project the image of style and fashion for those w
21、ho use their products. Most have learned, however, that the dangers caused to health by tobacco and alcohol can no longer be denied or ignored. The campaigns to alert the public to the evils of these two social drugs have been intense and effective. However, most people dislike being warned that the
22、y shouldnt do something. It is a kind of psychological resistance. Yet, all tobacco and liquor products must now contain a warning on the package. The warning is simple, but the message is clear: smoking and drinking are hazardous to health. The wording may vary, but it is phrased in such a way as t
23、o draw the attention of the consumer to the danger. On TV all tobacco advertising is legally banned, and every ad in a magazine must display the warning. There are many public notices on trains and buses giving out the warning that smoking is linked to lung cancer and other lung and heart diseases.
24、The warning against alcohol consumption is of a different kind. It goes out especially to women who are pregnant and anyone operating a car or electrical machinery. A pregnant woman can cause damage to her baby by drinking alcohol. Also anyone operating a machine runs the risk of an accident which c
25、ould be fatal. Such warnings appear on all wine bottles and even an apparently harmless can of beer. 36 Tobacco and liquor ads try to make people believe that smoking and drinking will_.（A）make them look fashionable（B） help them keep a nutritious diet（C） make them conscious of their health（D）show th
26、eir healthy images to others37 In the case of smoking and drinking, most people_.（A）ignore the campaigns against them（B） are aware of the dangers they cause（C） do not really believe their dangers（D）participate in campaigns against them38 It can be inferred from the passage that the campaign against
27、smoking is_.（A）short-lived（B） long-standing（C） widespread（D）well organized39 Tobacco advertising is_.（A）popularized（B） restricted（C） banned（D）disliked40 Warnings against drinking are usually directed at_.（A）civilians（B） car drivers（C） young people（D）some groups of people40 There is a definite possib
28、ility that the climate of the world may be changing. Some scientists imagine that this could even mean the beginning of another ice age. The effects of such a change in climate on the human population of the world would be startling. Recent research suggests that the general warming trend of the pas
29、t hundred years or so may be coming to an end. During the past ten years, meteorologists tell us the average temperature of the earth has dropped about one degree Fahrenheit. This does not seem like much, but it could have effects on wind and rain patterns which influence the overall weather picture
30、. If these patterns change a lot, it could mean that certain regions of the world may continue to have long droughts while others will possibly suffer from widespread flooding. What regulates the climate is not exactly known. Meteorologists believe that clouds may be an important factor in regulatin
31、g the amount of solar heat held by the earth, which in turn determines the temperature of the planet. Another possibility is that man s industrial and agricultural methods may be affecting the natural weather patterns. However, the weather is not understood well enough for scientists to say for cert
32、ain what is happening to the climate and what side effects this will actually have on the world s population. 41 According to the text, the climate of the world seems to_.（A）be getting colder（B） be getting warmer（C） remain the same in the past ten years（D）have good effects on the world s population4
33、2 According to what you have read, which of the following is TRUE?（A）Man s activities have no effect on the climate.（B） Another ice age will come soon.（C） People dont care about the changing climate.（D）Scientists are not yet sure about the reason for the changing climate. 43 A meteorologist is a per
34、son who_.（A）reads weather forecasts on radio or television（B） thinks there will be another ice age（C） studies and knows about the weather（D）believes there will be widespread flooding44 Which of the following may be factors that affect the natural weather patterns?（A）Clouds.（B） The amount of heat the
35、 earth receives.（C） Man s industrial and agricultural methods.（D）All of the above. 45 The best title for the text would be_.（A）Droughts and Floods（B） Meteorologists（C） Changing Climate（D）Solar Heat45 Happiness can be described as a positive mood and a pleasant state of mind. According to recent poll
36、s(民意测试), sixty to seventy percent of Americans consider themselves to be moderately happy and one in twenty persons feel very unhappy. Psychologists have been studying the factors that contribute to happiness. It is not predictable nor is a person in an apparently ideal situation necessarily happy.
37、The ideal situation may have little to do with his actual feelings. A good education and income are usually considered necessary for happiness. Though both may contribute, they are only chief factors if the person is seriously undereducated or actually suffering from lack of physical needs. The rich
38、 are not likely to be happier than the middle-income group or even those with very low incomes. People with college education are somewhat happier than those who did not graduate from high school, and it is believed that this is mainly because they have more opportunity to control their lives. Yet p
39、eople with a high income and a college education may be less happy than those with the same income and no college education. Poor health does not rule out happiness except for the severely disabled or those in pain. Learning to cope with a health problem can contribute to happiness. Those with a goo
40、d sex life are happier in general, but those who have a loving, affectionate relationship are happier than those who rely on sex alone. Love has a higher correlation with happiness than any other factors. It should be noted that people quickly get used to what they have, and they are happiest when t
41、hey feel they are increasing their level no matter where it stands at a given time. Children whose parents were happily married have happier childhoods yet they are not necessarily happier adults when they grow up. The best formula for happiness is to be able to develop the ability to tolerate frust
42、ration, to have a personal involvement and commitment, and to develop self-confidence and self-esteem. 46 It can be inferred from the passage that_.（A）happiness is predictable（B） a person in an apparently ideal situation must be happy（C） happiness is not necessarily connected to one s situation in s
43、ociety（D）the rich are likely to be happier than the middle-income group47 People with college education_.（A）have less opportunity to control their lives（B） have more opportunity to control their lives（C） are not happier than those who have only an education at high school（D）are much happier than tho
44、se who did not graduate from high school48 According to the article, happiness is greatly dependent upon_.（A）a happy childhood（B） great wealth（C） a college degree（D）a feeling that conditions are becoming for the better 49 Which of the following is most likely to contribute to happiness?（A）Being exce
45、ptionally good-looking.（B） Having a good paying job.（C） Having a loving, affectionate relationship.（D）Meeting lots of people. 50 Which of the following attitude or feeling is most likely to be found in happy people?（A）Having self-esteem.（B） Being sure of keeping everything they already have.（C） Neve
46、r being jealous.（D）Knowing how to be charming. 二、Cloze50 When I was 16 years old, I made my first visit to the United States.
