bus stop to meet her.

解析：本题考查虚拟语气。当表示与过去事实相反情况的虚拟时，从句中用过去完成时，主句用情态动词+have+done。本题选用wouldn’t have walked最合适，表示“她就不会走回家”的虚拟结果。故选D。

B．have I made
C．I made
D．shall I make
正确答案：B
解析：本题考查倒装句。部分倒装的模式为标志词+助动词+主语+谓语其他部分。seldom置于句首时，主句必须进行部分倒装，且该句应该用现在完成时表示对过去到现在事情的总结。因此B为正确选项。

B．to design
C．have designed
D．to have designed
正确答案：A
解析：本题考查动词不定式的主被动形式。此处proposal与design的关系是动宾关系，需要用被动形式表达，因此A是符合要求的。
Part II Reading ComprehensionDirections: In this part there are four passages,
each followed by five questions or unfinished statements. For each of them, there are
four choices marked A, B, C, and D. Choose the best one and mark your answer on
the ANSWER SHEET with a single line through the center.
Happiness is becoming a huge area in psychological research and even in
government policy, with the UK government exploring a “happiness index”. It’s tough,
though, to define exactly what happiness is, and what makes us happy. There are
two broad ways of looking at happiness: short-term happiness ( a great cookie, a
bottle of wine) and long-term happiness (financial security, achieving your goals).
Both types of happiness are valid, and important. The problem is, they’re often in
competition. Let’s say you’ve got a goal of losing 50 pounds this year. You know
you’d be happier and healthier if you weren’t carrying that extra weight. To achieve
long-term happiness, you need to go on a diet. In the short-term, though, it’s not that
easy. A chocolate cake, or a large glass of wine, might seem like just the thing to cheer
you up at the end of a long day—or to celebrate with friends. It’s the same with lots of
other goals. If you’ve got a tendency to prioritize long-term happiness at the
expense of day-to-day pleasures, you should start looking for some small ways to
bring a little joy back into your life. I’m not suggesting that you go out and get drunk
every night, or that you stuff with cake. There are plenty of other ways to enjoy
yourself. Don’t pin all your hopes of happiness on some far-off future, though.
There’s no point working a 60-hour week and making yourself thoroughly miserable
in the belief that things will be prefect as soon as you’re making a six-figure salary.
11． A proper title for the passage is”______”.
A．Happy Thereafter
B．Beyond Happiness
C．Happiness In, Happiness Out
