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 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 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 （预担的义务）, self - improvement.Ask a bachelor（单身汉）why he resists marriage even though he finds dating to be less and less 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 lucky to get a whole night’s sleep or a three - day vacation. I don’t know any paren t 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 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 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. 31．According to the author, a bachelor resists marriage chiefly because ________ .A. he is reluctant to take on family responsiblilitiesB. he 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 excitement32．Raising c hildren, in the author’s opinion is ________ .A. a moral dutyB. a thankless jobC. a rewarding taskD. a source of inevitable pain33．From the last paragraph, we learn that envy sometimes stems from ________ .A. hatredB. misunderstandingC. prejudiceD. ignorance34．To understand what true happiness is one must ________ .A. have as much fun as possible during one’s lifetimeB. make every effort to liberate oneself from painC. put up with pain under all circumstancesD. be able to distinguish happiness from fun35．What is the author trying to tell us?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.B. Increasingly , over the past ten years, people ---especially young people --- have become aware of the need to change their eating habits, because much of the food they eat, particularly processed foods, is not good for the health. Consequently, there has been a growing interest in natural foods: foods which do not contain chemical additives and which have not been affected by chemical fertilizers widely used in farming today.Natural foods, for example, are vegetables, fruit and grain which have been grown in soil that is rich in organic matter. In simple terms, this means that the soil has been nourished by unused vegetable matter, which provides it with essential vitamins and minerals. This in itself is a natural process compared with the use of chemicals and fertilizers, the main purpose of which is to increase the amount but not the quality of foods grown in commercial farming areas.Natural foods also include animals which have been allowed to feed and move freely in healthy pastures. Compare this with what happens in the mass production of poultry: there are battery farms, for example, where thousands of chickens live crowded together in one building and are fed on food which is little better than rubbish. Chickens kept in this way are not only tasteless as food; they also produce eggs which lack important vitamins.There are other aspects of healthy eating which are now receiving increasing attention from experts on diet. Take, for example, the question of sugar. This is actually a nonessential food! Although a natural alternative, such as honey, can be used to sweeten food it this necessary, we can in fact do without it. It is not that sugar is harmful in itself. But it does seem to be additive: the quantity we use has grown steadily over the last centuries and in Britain today each person consumes an average of 200 pounds a year! Yet all it does is provide us with energy, in the form of calories. There are no vitamins in it, no minerals and no fiber.It is significant that nowadays fiber is considered to be an important part of a healthy diet. In white bread, for example, the fiber has been removeD. But it is present in unrefined flour and of course in vegetables. It is interesting to note that in countries where the national diet contains large quantities of unrefined flour and vegetables, certain diseases are comparatively rare. Hence the emphasis is placed on the eating of whole meal bread and more vegetables by modern experts on “healthy eating”.36.Which statement best expresses the main idea of this article?A. People should eat any food to keep themselves healthy and strong.B. People should eat natural foods to keep themselves healthy and strong.C. People should eat fiber foods to keep themselves healthy and strong.D. People should eat vegetables to keep themselves healthy and strong.37.“Particularly processed foods” means ___________.A. foods which are particularly processed by adding chemical additivesB. foods which are particularly made by commercial farmsC. foods which are specially produced by commercial factoriesD. foods which are not specially made by adding anything38.Natural foods means _________.A. foods good for healthB. foods not good for healthC. foods such as vegetables, fruit and grain from rich organic matters soilD. crops from rich organic matters soil and meats of animals from health pastures39. There are no vitamins, no minerals and no fibers in _________.A. natural foodsB. sugarC. animal meatsD. fruit40. “Yet all it does is provide us with energy, in the form of calories” It means _____.A. processed food provides us with energyB. natural food furnishes us with vitamins and mineralsC. sugar gives us enough energy in the form of caloriesD. fiber helps us to digest foodC. Disraeli was as sparkling a letter-writer as he was a novelist. His letters show that his capacity to observed was matched only by his ability to describe, and they are excited by his over-developed sense of self-dramatization as well as by his enduring sense of the greatness of his own destiny. He skims through these pages like some gorgeous bird of paradise, spreading his multi-colored feathers and never pausing long enough to become boring.As early as 1830, when only 26, he is found advising Benjamin Austin to carefully conserve his letters for posterity. Fortunately Austin and others followed his advicA. As a result over 10,000 letters in his own hand have survived, quite apart from dictated letters and other notes and documents. Disraeli rarely kept a diary, and poured his thoughts, desires and reflections into his correspondencA.What treasures there lie in store! We leave him 1837 with his longed-for election to Parliament, but ahead come into view the high peaks of his career with the twin mountains of his two premierships and his friendship with the Queen. Lord Esher maintained that the letters between Disraeli and Queen Victoria had largely been destroyed, but this was not so. A new, bright and searching light will eventually shine on that extraordinary political and romantic friendship.41. This passage appears to be written by _______.A a friend of Disraeli'sB a contemporary of Disraeli'sC a literary criticD an autobiographer42. ...his capacity to observe was matched only by his ability to describA... meansA he was as accomplished an observer as he was a descriptive writerB his capacity to observe and his ability to describe were unrivalledC he was capable of adapting descriptions to fit his observationsD his observations and descriptions reflected his own personal ambitions43. During his lifetime Disraeli pursued the career of _______.A a correspondentB a politicianC a novelistD a consultant44. Even as a young man Disraeli realized that one day his letters would be _______.A antiquatedB well-connectedC destroyedD widely-read45. Disraeli's two premierships and his friendship with the Queen are described as being _______.A obstacles to surmountB unsurmountable obstaclesC pinnacles of successD impossible challengesD. Today’s kids absorb lots of messages, values and attitudes from the media and from friends. Advertisements whet their appetite for many things they don’t need. What they do need is an understanding of the value of the dollar.How do kids learn to be economically savvy (机智的) ? Most schools do not teach the financial facts of life; it’s up to parents to help kids grow into responsible and skillful money earners, savers and spenders.To learn about money, kids first need to have some. Early on, parents often hand out money on an as-needed basis. But experts say paying a regular allowance is the best way to teach children the meaning of money, how to use it and how to plan. Some call it “learning capital”.A child is ready for an allowance around age five or six, when he becomes aware of the relationship between money and shopping, can differentiate coins, can add and subtract, has spending opportunities and asks parents to buy him things.How much allowance? Some experts recommend giving a dollar for each year of age, but Sharon Danes, a profe ssor at the University of Minnesota disagrees: “I think $ 5 a week is too much for afive-year-old, and $15 is probably not enough for a 15-year-old.” What’s right for the child depends on three factors: the child’s level of development, what the parents c an afford, and what the parents expect him to pay for.Whatever the amount, kids will soon feel they need more. But Sharon Danes insists that children don’t need an automatic raise each year. “There’s no lesson to be learned when children expect an increas e just because they’re a year older,” she says. “The reason for getting a greater part of the family-income pie is so they can learn more about balancing demands and resources.”46. In Para. 1, “whet their appetite” most probably means ____________.A) make them wish for more B) spoil their appetiteC) sharpen their sensation D) stimulate their consuming power47. What is the best way for children to learn to be economically savvy?A) Parents don’t give them money until they really nee d it.B) Children are taught the financial facts of life at school.C) Parents regularly give them a certain amount of money.D) Parents help children become skillful money earners.48. At the age of five or six, children are capable of all the following EXCEPT _____.A) identifying the face value of moneyB) solving simple arithmetic problemsC) knowing that with money they can get things from storesD) going shopping themselves49. What is Professor Sharon Danes’ attitude toward the p roposal of giving children a dollar for each year of age?A) She believes this will surely encourage children to ask for more.B) She doubts whether there is such thing as “right amount” for parents to give to their children.C) She thinks it is unnecessary to increase the amount each year.D) She insists that children can only get money when they study well.50. Which of the following is closest in meaning to the last sentence of the passage?A) The purpose of giving children money is to let them know more about how to use money and how to plan.B) If they want to get more from the family income, they must have enough knowledge of family economy.C) Children can get more money on the condition that they are able to balance demands and resources.D) To give children more money is to make them understand the importance of balancing demands and resources.E.Faces, like fingerprints, are unique. Did you ever wonder how it is possible for us to recognize people? Even a skilled writer probably could not describe all the features that make one face different from another. Yet a very young child-or even an animal, such as a pigeon-can learn to recognize faces, we all take this ability for granted.We also tell people apart by how they behav e. When we talk about someone’s personality, we mean the ways in which he or she acts, speaks, thinks and feels that make that individual different from other. Like the human face, human personality is very complex. But describing someone’s personality in words is somewhat easier than describing his face. If you were asked to describe what a “nice face” looked like, you probably would have a difficult time doing so.But if you were asked to describe a “nice person”, you might begin to think about someone wh o was kind, considerate, friendly, warm, and so forth.There are many words to describe how a person thinks, feels and acts. Fordin Allport, an American psychologist, found nearly 18,000 English words charactering differences in people’s behavior. And many of us use this information as a basis for describing, or typing, his personality. Bookworms, conservatives, military types-people are described with such terms.People have always tried to “type” each other. Actors in early Greek drama wore masks to show the audience whether they played the villains or the hero’s role. In fact, the words “person” and “personality” come from the Latin persona, meaning “mask”. Today most television and movie actors do not wear masks. But we easily tell the “good guys” from the “bad guys” because the two types differ in appearance as well as in actions.51. By using the simile (直喻) of fingerprints, the author tells us that _____.A) people differ from each other in facial featuresB) people have difficulty in describing the features of fingerprintsC) people have different personalitiesD) people can learn to recognize faces52. According to this passage, some animals have the gift of _____.A) typing each otherB) telling people apart by how they behaveC) recognizing human facesD) telling good people from bad people53. Who most probably knows best hw to describe people’s personality?A) Psychologists. B) The modern TV audience.C) The ancient Greek audience D) The movie star.54. According to the passage, it is possible for us to tell one type of person form another because_____.A) human faces have complex featuresB) people differ in their behavioral and physical characteristicsC) human fingerprints provide unique informationD) people’s behavior can be easily described in words55. Which of the following is the major point of the passage?A) How to get to know people.B) Why it is necessary to identify people’s personality.C) Hoe best to recognize people.D) Why it is possible to describe people.三、完形填空(每题20分，共1题)Family time is one of the most important times in a child’s life．My family and I 56 a lot of time together，including every 57 ．Even when my father is 58 on business，my mother，my sister，and I sit down at the table to eat and 59 our day．We don’t watch television but have60 together．As a teenager，61 with my parents is not the most fun thing I do but I feel it is necessary．I learn from them 62 we talk, whether it is about my dad’s job or my mother’s day.I did a littl e research on the “family table” 63 ．Statistics show that only 50% of 64 sit down to dinner together each night．That’s a 65 ，because researchers 66 that kids who have these regular family dinners have 67 behavior，grades，and a larger vocabulary．They are also less 68 to smoke，drink，do drugs，or have eating disorders Time with their parents makes kids more 69 and gives them a sense of 70 and safety．Plus，they learn better manners．Now with many single-parent families or homes 71 both parents work，making time together has become harder．There have been many recent studies showing kids are“ 72 ”than they used to be．I think it’s primarily parents’ 73 ．Only good things 74 taking 15 minutes away from television and five minutes from video games to have this time with your family．By spending 20 minutes with 75 ，I believe this idea of “wild kids” would decrease greatly．56．A．spend B．pass C．take D．cost57．A．morning B．dinner C．weekend D．party58．A．away B．lonely C．back D．alone59．A．welcome B memorize C．discuss D．remember60．A．snacks B．meal C．sports D．fun61．A．putting up B．getting up C．keeping up D．hanging out62．A．every time B．before C．some time D．since63．A．plan B．manner C．idea D．project64．A．parents B．sisters C．brothers D．families65．A．wonder B．shame C．miracle D．worry66．A．suppose B．claim C．assume D doubt67．A．higher B．worse C．lower D．better68．A．unlikely B．probably C．likely D．impossibly69．A．stubborn B．nervous C．silent D．stable70．A．belonging B．anxiety C．honor D．achievement71．A．whose B．where C．that D．which72．A．smarter B．quicker C．wilder D．slower73．A．duty B．fault C．power D．burden74．A．come out B．contribute to C．come from D．result in75．A．the other B．another one C．the rest D．each other大学英语1C答案一、单项选择题(每题1分，共30题)1.
