It may be beyond the government’s reach,not to mention duty,to guarantee(保证) higher income for every citizen.But it does have a burden to create an environment where all citizens can feel a reasonable level of security.1.From the second paragraph we learn .A.70% of Chinese people feel happy and optimistic about their futuresB.the data and the conclusions of the surveys are the sameC.the surveys about the sense of happiness were carried out in 2006D.the purpose of the surveys is to find out the percentage of rich people答案A2.The following factors of happiness are mentioned in the passage EXCEPT .A.securityB.environmentC.wealthD.employment答案B3.The underlined word “countrymen” in Paragraph 3 refers to .A.people from the countrysideB.people from citiesC.people from all countriesD.Chinese citizens答案D4.According to the passage,the author tends to hold the view that .A.the wealthier we get,the happier we becomeB.though we get wealthier,we do not feel happierC.it is the government’s duty to raise every citizen’s incomeD.the government should make sure all citizens feel a good level of security答案D。

Unit 3 A taste of English humour李仕才【阅读理解插花】阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

Many of us love July because it’s the month when nature’s berries and stone fruits are in abundance. These colourful and sweet jewels form British Columbia’s fields are little powerhouses of nutritional protection.Of the common berries, strawberries are highest in vitamin C, although, because of their seeds, raspberries contain a little more protein (蛋白质), iron and zinc (not that fruits have much protein). Blueberries are particularly high in antioxidants (抗氧化物质). The yellow and orange stone fruits such as peaches are high in the carotenoids we turn into vitamin A and which are antioxidants. As for cherries (樱桃), they are so delicious who cares? However, they are rich in vitamin C.When combined with berries of slices of other fruits, frozen bananas make an excellent base for thick, cooling fruit shakes and low fat “ice cream”. For this purpose, select ripe bananas for freezing as they are much sweeter. Remove the skin and place them in plastic bags or containers and freeze. If you like, a squeeze of fresh lemon juice on the bananas will prevent them turning brown. Frozen bananas will last several weeks, depending on their ripeness and the temperature of the freezer.If you have a juicer, you can simply feed in frozen bananas and some berries or sliced fruit. Out comes a “soft-serve” creamy dessert, to be eaten right away. This makes a fun activity for a children’s party; they love feeding the fruit and frozen bananas into the top of the machine and watching the ice cream come out below.1. What does the author seem to like about cherries?A. They contain protein.B. They are high in vitamin A.C. They have a pleasant taste.D. They are rich in antioxidants.2. Why is fresh lemon juice used in freezing bananas?A. To make them smell better.B. To keep their colour.C. To speed up their ripening.D. To improve their nutrition.3.
