Very few people have enough money of their own to buy a home, so they have to borrow money from a bank. Borrowing money fr
7、om a bank to buy a house is called “take a mortgage(抵押)“. The bank usually lends money or gives a mortgae for twenty -five years. Houses are so expensive that many people nowadays have to borrow as much as $50000. In other words, they will have a S50000 mortgage.How can you get a mortgage? When you
8、find a house you like, you go to a bank. The bank will research you financial(金融的)history and decide if they think you are a good risk. They will want to know what kind of job you have, what kind of salary you make, and how long you have had the job. They will also want to know how much money you ha
9、ve. In addition, the banks will require a down payment. Depending on which state you live in, the bank may require as much as 30% of the - price of the house as a down payment. The bank will then lend you the rest of the money to buy the house. Many people are never able to buy a house because they
10、cannot save enough money for the down payment.16 What does a house mean in the United States?(A)It is a dream which many people can hardly realize.(B) It is so expensive that many people cannot really buy them.(C) It is the most important property that many people try to buy.(D)It doesnt belong to p

14、o Save Money on the House(B) How to Borrow Money from a Bank(C) How to Take a Mortgage(D)How to Buy a House20 If you want to stay young, sit down and have a good think. This is the research result of professor Faulkner, who says that most of our brains are not getting enough exercise and as a result
15、, we are ageing unnecessarily soon.Professor Faulkner wanted to find out why healthy farmers in northern Japan appeared to be losing their ability to think and to reason at a relatively early age, and how the process of ageing could be slowed down.He set about measuring brain volumes of a thousand p
16、eople of different ages and occupations.Computer technology enabled him to obtain precise measurements of the volume of the front and side sections of the brain, which relate to intelligence and emotion, and determine the human character.Contraction of front and side parts - as cells die off - was o
17、bserved in some subjects in their thirties, but it was still not evident in some sixty - and seventy - year - olds.Faulkner concluded from his tests that there is a simple way to slow the contraction - using the head.The findings show that contraction of the brain begins sooner in people in the coun
18、try than in the towns. Those least at risk, says Faulkner, are lawyers, followed by university professors and doctors. White -collar workers doing routine work are, however, as likely to have shrinking brains are as the farm worker, bus driver and shop assistant.Faulkners findings show that thinking
19、 can prevent the brain from shrinking. Blood must circulate properly in the head to supply the fresh oxygen the brain cells need. “The best way to maintain good blood circulation is through using the brain, “ he says. “Think hard and engage in conversation. Dont rely on pocket calculator. “ 21 Profe
20、ssor Faulkner wanted to find out_.(A)how peoples brains shrink(B) the way of making people live longer(C) the size of certain peoples brains(D)why certain people aged sooner than others22 Faulkners research findings are based on_.(A)a survey of farmers in northern Japan(B) tests performed on a thous

22、 olds(D)brain contraction may vary among people of the same age24 The underlined word “ subjects“ in Paragraph 5 means_.(A)branches of knowledge studied in a school(B) something to be considered(C) persons experimented on(D)citizens in a country25 According to the passage, which group of people seem
23、 to age slower than the others?(A)farmers(B) Lawyers(C) Clerks(D)Shop assistants25 The way people hold to the belief that a fun - filled, pain - free life equals happiness actually reduces their chances of ever attaining real happiness. If fun and pleasure are equal to happiness then pain must be eq
24、ual 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 attempts that are the source of true happiness. They fear the pain inevitably brought by such things as marriage, raising children, profe
25、ssional achievement, religious commitment and self - improvement.Ask a bachelor why he resists marriage even though he finds dating to be less and less satisfactory, 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
26、 filled with fun, adventure, excitement.Marriage has such moments, but they are not its most dislingsuished features.Couples with infant children are lucky to get a whole nights sleep or a three - day vacation. I dont know any parent who would choose the word fun to describe raising children, but co
27、uples 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 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 t
28、hat can genuinely increase our happiness. It liberates money: buying that new car or those fancy clothes that will do nothing to increase our happiness now seems pointless. And it liberates us from envy: we now understand that all those who arc always having so much fun actually may not be happy at
29、all.26 Raising children, in the authors opinion is_.(A)a moral duty(B) a tedious job(C) a rewarding task(D)a source of inevitable pain27 From the last paragraph, we learn that envy sometimes stems from_.(A)hatred(B) misunderstanding(C) prejudice(D)ignorance28 To understand what true happiness is one
30、 must_.(A)have as much fun as possible during ones lifetime(B) make every effort to liberate oneself from pain(C) put up with pain under all circumstances(D)be able to distinguish happiness from fun29 The single life according to the passage should be_.(A)fun(B) excitement(C) adventure(D)all of the
31、above30 What is the author trying hand in hand with pain?(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 happiness30 “ Against boredom the gods themselves fight in vain. “The saying let us fi

47、答案】 A【试题解析】 Betty 说 Im afraid I left my handbag in the taxi this morning,可知下一个问题应该是关于这个丢失的 handbag,故选 A。12 【正确答案】 E【试题解析】 根据 Betty 的回答 Yes,my ID card,I suppose,可知此处为一般疑问句。根据语境,Mike 的第一个问题是手提包里有什么东西,Betty 回答大约500 美金,接着 Mike 问还有其他东西吗?所以 Betty 会回答 Yes,my ID card,I suppose。13 【正确答案】 B【试题解析】 Betty 的回答是自己
