It's like looking at the tiled(铺瓦的) ceiling and concentrating on the space where one tile is 36 .Once I heard a bald(秃头的) man said. ―Whenever I enter a room,37 I see is hair." Once you've 38 what your missing tile is, explore whether getting it will 39 make you happy. Then do one of the three things: get it, replace it with a different 40 , or forget about it and 41 the tiles in your life that are not missing.We all know people who have had a relatively 42 life, yet are often unhappy while people who have suffered a great deal but 43 remain happy.The first 44 is gratitude. All happy people are 45 . Ungrateful people cannot be happy. We tend to think that being unhappy leads people to 46 , but it's truer to say that complaining leads to people becoming unhappy.The second secret, is 47 that happiness is a byproduct(副产品) of something else. The most obvious 48 are those pursuits(追求) that give our lives purpose—anything 49 studying insects to playing baseball. The more passions we have, the more happiness we are 50 to experience.Finally, the belief that something permanent goes beyond us and that our 51 has some larger meaning can help us to feel happier. We 52 a spiritual faith, or a philosophy of life.

Largely第三部分读写能力测试第一节阅读理解（共10小题，每题2分，满分20分）AMark and his brother Jason both were looking at the shining new computer enviously, Jason was determined not to go against their father's wishes but Mark was more adventurous than his brother. He loved experimenting and his aim was to become a scientist like his father.―Dad will be really mad if he finds out you've been playing with his new computer.‖ Jason said, ―He told us not to touch it.‖―He won’t find out,‖ Mark said. ―I'll just have a quick look and shut it down.‖Mark had been scolded before for touching his father's equipment. But his curiosity was difficult to control and this new computer really puzzled him.It was a strange-looking machine —one his dad had brought home from the laboratory where he worke d. ―It’s an experimental model," his father had explained, ―so don’t touch it under any circumstances.‖ But his father's warning only made Mark more curious. Without any further thought, Mark turned on the power switch. The computer burst into life and seconds later, the screen turned into colors, shifting and changing and then two big white words appeared in the centre of the screen: ―SPACE TRANSPORTER.‖ ―Yes!‖ Mark cried excitedly, ―It's a computer game. I knew it! Dad's only been pretending to work. He's really been playing games instead.‖A new message appeared on the screen: ―ENTER NAMESVOY AGER 1:…VOY AGER 2:…Mark's fingers flew across the keyboard as he typed in both of their names.―INPUT ACCEPTED. START TRANSPORT PROGRAM. AUTO-RETRIEVE INITIATED( 自动回收程序已启动).‖The screen turned even brighter and a noise suddenly rose in volume. ―I think we'd better shut it off, Mark,‖ Jason yelled, reaching for the power switch. He was really frightened. But his hand never reached the switch. A single beam of dazzling white light burst out of the computer screen, wrapping the boys in its glow(光芒) , until they themselves seemed to be glowing. Then it died down just as suddenly as it had burst into life. And the boys were no longer there. On the screen, the letters changed.―TRANSPORT SUCCESSFUL. DESTINATION ( 目的地)：MARS. RETRIEVE DATE: 2025.‖56. Why did Mark touch the computer against his father's warning?A. He wanted to take a voyage.B. He wanted to practice his skill.C. He was so much attracted by it.D. He was eager to do an experiment.57. Where did the boys' father most likely work?A. In an electronic factory.B. In a computer company.C. In a scientific research center.D. In an information processing center.58. Mark thought ―SPACE TRANSPORTER‖ on the screen was the name of______.A. a computer gameB. a company websiteC. a software producerD. an astronomer59. Why did Jason want to shut off the computer?A. He was afraid of being scolded.B. He didn't like the loud noise and light.C. He didn't want to play games any more.D. He was afraid something dangerous might happen.60. What happened to the boys at the end of the story?A. They were blown into the air.B. They were sent to another planet.C. They were hidden in the strong light.D. They were carried away to another country.BFranz Kafka wrote that ―a book must be the ax (斧子) for the frozen sea inside us. ‖I once shared this sentence with a class of seventh graders, and it didn’t seem to require any explanation.We’d just finished John Steinbeck’s novel Of Mice and Men. When we read the end together out loud in class, my to ughest boy, a star basketball player, wept a little, and so did I. ―Are you crying?‖ one girl asked, as she got out of her chair to take a closer look. ―I am,‖ I told her, ―and the funny thing is I’ve read it many times.‖But they understood. When George shoots Lennie, the tragedy is that we realize it was always going to happen. In my 14 years of teaching in a New York City public middle school, I’ve taught kids with imprisoned parents, abusive parents, irresponsible parents; kids who are parents themselves; kids who are homeless; kids who grew up in violent neighborhoods. They understand, more than I ever will, the novel’s terrible logic—the giving way of dreams to fate (命运).For the last seven years, I have worked as a reading enrichment teacher, reading classic works of literature with small groups of students from grades six to eight. I originally proposed this idea to my headmaster after learning that a former excellent student of mine had transferred out of a selective high school—one that often attracts the literary-minded children of Manhattan’s upper classes—into a less competitive setting. The daughter of immigrants, with a father in prison, she perhaps felt uncomfortable with her new classmates. I thought additional ―cultural capital‖ could help students like her develop better in high school, where they would unavoidably meet, perhaps for the first time, students who came from homes lined with bookshelves, whose parents had earned Ph. Ds.Along with Of Mice and Men, my groups read: Sounder, The Red Pony, Lord of the Flies, Romeo and Juliet and Macbeth. The students didn’t always read from the expected point of view.About The Red Pony, one student said, ―it’s about being a man, it’s about manliness.‖I had never before seen the parallels between Sca rface and Macbeth, nor had I heard Lady Macbeth’s soliloquies (独白) read as raps (说唱), but both made sense; The interpretations were playful, but serious. Once introduced to Steinbeck’s writing, one boy went on to read The Grapes of Wrath and told me repeat edly how amazing it was that ―all these people hate each other, and they’re allwhite.‖ His historical view was broadening, his sense of his own country deepening. Year after year, former students visited and told me how prepared they had felt in their first year in college as a result of the classes.Year after year, however, we are increasing the number of practice tests. We are trying to teach students to read increasingly complex texts, not for emotional punch (碰撞) but for text complexity. Yet, we cannot enrich (充实) the minds of our students by testing them on texts that ignore their hearts. We are teaching them that words do not amaze but confuse. We may succeed in raising test scores, but we will fail to teach them that reading can be transformative and that it belongs to them.61. The underlined words in Paragraph 1 probably mean that a book helps to __________.A. realize our dreamsB. give support to our lifeC. smooth away difficultiesD. awake our emotions62. Why were the students able to understand the novel Of Mice and Men?A. Because they spent much time reading it.B. Because they had read the novel before.C. Because they came from a public school.D. Because they had similar life experiences.63. The girl left the selective high school possibly because__________.A. she was a literary-minded girlB. her parents were immigrantsC. she couldn’t fit in with her classD. her father was then in prison64. To the author’s surp rise, the students read the novels__________.A. creativelyB. passivelyC. repeatedlyD. carelessly65. The author writes the passage mainly to__________.A. introduce classic works of literatureB. advocate(倡导) teaching literature to touch the heartC. argue for equality among high school studentsD. defend the current testing system第二卷（非选择题，共75分）第一节阅读下面短文，并根据所读内容完成表格, 每空一词。

First, we can save much energy like electricity and water every day by switching off the lights or turning off the water faucets in time. Second, it is necessary for us to use as few single-use things as possible, like paper cups and disposable chopsticks, which certainly helps prevent more trees from being cut down. Third, planting more trees is a meaningful activity for us to take part in to protect the environment. Fourth, we should developthe habit of sorting rubbish. The last but not the least, why not put up many posters to help more people to realize the importance of protecting the environment?Surely, if everyone takes action, a great difference will be made soon to the environment.(121 words)听力录音原稿:Text 1W: What is the difference between Beijing time and Greenwich Mean Time?M: There is a difference of eight hours. When you go to the office in London at nine o’clock in the morning, it’s five o’clock in the afternoon of the same day here. That’s about the time we get off work.Text 2W: You have lived in Hengyang for a long time. How do you like living here?M: It’s great. I really love it.W: But I heard the traffic was terrible and the streets were dirty and narrow.M: Oh,our city has improved a lot in recent years. The traffic is good and the streets are straight and wide. You can see many tall buildings and beautiful houses. I think it’s a wonderful place to live.Text 3W: Have you found the right job for you, Mark?M: I’m trying to find a job at one of the biggest law firms in the city.Text 4M: I wish you had told me about your holiday.W: I’m sorry. I thought you knew I went to my cousin’s place a lot.Text 5W: I can’t see the screen very well.M: Yeah, I wish we could buy a new TV.W: We could afford a new television if our electic bill wasn’t so high.M: I know what you mean. We can’t keep the lights on when we leave the house.Text 6W: Look at the warning light.M: I see.W: I think the car is running out of gasoline. Didn’t you fill it up yesterday?M: No. I forgot about it yesterday.W: What shall we do now?M: Don’t worry. There’s still some gas left when the warning light shows.W: Is it enough for us to ride home?M: Sure. Look! There is a filling station over there.W: Oh, let’s go there.Text 7W: Hi, Paul.M: Hi, Ann.W: Paul, you look quite upset. Is there a problem?M: Ann, I’m terribly sorry. I broke your cup.W: My cup? What happened?M: You know our desk was a bit messy and I tried to clean up. I was holding your cup in my hand, and somehow I dropped it on the floor and it broke.W: Oh, no.

Shall we go now?W: Why not? Let’s go.Text 8W: I just read an interesting article. Did you know that people who spend less than ten minutes in a department store are more likely to buy something than those who spend half an hour there?M: I saw that article, too. But I think, if someone runs into a store for 10 minutes, he’s usually to get something that was already in mind.W: And someone who spends more time there may be just looking.M: Exactly. Haven’t you ever gone into a store, thinking that you’d buy something and then talked yourself out of it?W: Yes, I have. Especially when I thought I could get it for less somewhere else, or I really didn’t need it at all.M: Exactly, but if you run into something that you want to buy and have very little time, you pick it up, pay for it immediately and then leave.W: That’s true. Maybe we should learn a lesson from that. Take your time and you will spend less money.M: Yes, I think so, too.Text 9W: Hi, Arthur.

How many people are they interviewing?M: Well, they interviewed 16 the first time, and now four of us were chosen to come back for this interview.W: It sounds like you have a good chance to be selected then.M: I hope so.

The earthquake occurred at 4:53 p.m.local time on Tuesday, January 12th2010. As of February 12th 2010, an estimated three million people were affected by the quake; Haitian Government reports that between 217,000 and 230,000 people had been identified as dead, and estimated 300,000 injuried, and an estimated 1,000,000 homeless. The death toll is expected to rise. They also estimated that 250,000 residences and 30,000 commercial buildings were severely damaged.The earthquake caused major damage to many settlements in the region. Many notable landmark buildings were significantly damaged or destroyed, including the Presidential Palace, the National Assembly(国民大会) building, the Port-au-Prince Cathedral, and the main jail.Many countries have been rushing to aid, providing funds and sending rescue and medical teams, engineers and support personnel. Communication systems, air, land, and sea transport facilities, hospitals, and electrical networks had been damaged by the earthquake, which delayed rescue and aid efforts; confusion over who was in charge, air traffic jams, and problems with priority of flights further complicated early relief work.On January 22nd the United Nations noted that the emergency phase of the relief operation was drawing to a close, and on the following day the Haitian Government officially stopped the search for survivors.。
