passages in this section.Each passage is followed by five questions or incomplete statement.For each of them there are four choices marked A,B,C,and D.You should decide on the best choice and write the corresponding letter on the Answer SheetPassage1A happy life and a meaningful life are not the same.Leading a happy lifeis associated with being a“taker”,while leading a meaningful life corresponds wit h being a“give”.Happiness is about feeling good and getting what we want.People who are happy tend to think that life is easy.They arein good physical health and able to buy the things that they need and want.Happiness is about satisfying our needs and desires.The pursuit(追求)of happiness is often associated with selfish behavior.Animals have needs and desires and they can feel happy too. What sets human beings apart from animals is not the pursuit of happiness, but the pursuit of meaning,which is unique to humans.We can often find meaning in helping others or making a sacrifice（牺牲）for a“greater good”.Meaning often comes at the expense of happiness.When people have invested themselves in something bigger than themselves,they worry more and have higher level of stress and anxiety in their lives than happy people.Volunteering（做义工)in rural schools.for example,is meaningful but also involves hardship.Happiness,like any emotion,is felt in the here and now---it eventually fades away.However,meaning is enduring.It connects the past to the present to the future.46.What is the main idea of the passage?A.happy life is basically different from a meaningful life.B.Leading a happy life is connected with being a“taker”.C.Happiness is about feeling good and getting what we want.D.Meaning connects the past to the present to the future.47.Paragraph2tells us that the pursuit of happiness_____.A.sets humans apart from animalsB.is associated with selfish behaviorC.means to give up what one hasD.is unique to human beings48.From Paragraph3we know that_____.A.helping others can make our life meaningfulB.Meaning comes together with happinessC.Happy people have higher levels of anxietyD.Volunteering in rural schools makes a happy life49.It is implied in Paragraph4that____.A.meaning will disappear sooner or laterB.living a happy life means to be a“give”C.happiness lasts a relatively short period of timeD.making a sacrifice for a“greater good”brings us happiness50.The passage is organized by____.A.giving examplesB.making contrastsC.definingD.classifyingPassage2Our traditional belief has it that morning larks are most likely to be healthy,wealthy and wise.But those who are early to bed and early to rise do not always have the upper hand(占上风).Researchers have revealed that night owls(夜猫子)are generally brighter and wealthier than those able to get up early in the morning.Experts examined the habits of1,000youngsters determine whether they liked to stay up late and sleep in later in the morning,or preferred to go to bedearly.School performance and inductive(归纳的)reasoning were measured and academic(学业的)grades in the major subjects were also taken into consideration.The results show that evening types score higher than morning types on inductive reasoning,which has been shown to be a good estimate of general intelligence and academic performance.The night owls also have a greater capacity to thinkconceptually(概念性地)and analyze.Such abilities have been linked to creative thinking,better jobs and higher incomes.Morning larks,however,often get better results in school,possibly because lessons are held at the wrong time of day for night owls.51.The underlined expression”morning larks”in Paragraph1refers to_____.A.birds which scream late at nightB.Birds which sing early in the morningC.People who like to stay up late at nightD.People who are early to rise in the morning52.Traditional,we hold that____.A.morning larks do not always have the upper handB.night owls are generally brighter and wealthierC.morning larks tend to be healthy,wealthy and wiseD.night owls often get better exam results in school53.Why did experts examine the teenagers on their habits?A.To measure their inductive reasoningB.To measure their school performanceC.To determine whether they are night owls or notD.To know their academic grades in major subjects54.Paragraph3tells us that____.A.night owls have a poorer capacity to analyzeB.night owls score higher on inductive reasoningC.morning larks are more likely to get better jobsD.morning larks are more likely to get higher incomes55.Morning larks often score higher in exam,possibly because____.A.they are generally brighterB.they are early to bed and early to riseC.they have a greater capacity to analyzeD.the arrangement of lessons fits their body clocksPassage3While drunken driving may be decreasing,traffic safety experts remain troubled how to cope with another alcohol-related problem:drunken pedestrians(行人).Studies have shown that pedestrians injured and killed by care are often extremely drunk.Some types of pedestrian accidents have been decreasing in the U.S, especially those involving children,but the number of drunken adult pedestrians killed in traffic has remained relatively constant at2,500a year. The total number of pedestrians killed annually in traffic accidents is at least7,000or one of every seven highway deaths.Studies have revealed some of the causes,including a lack of adult supervision(监督)for children,long delays in traffic signals that encourage jaywalking(无视交通规则任意行走),less attention paid to pedestrian accidents in the past,and few methods to regulate walking habits.However, the most challenging problem,according to some experts,is alcohol-related. Although puzzled,researchers are making great efforts to find ways to fight against the drunken pedestrian accidents.56.Which of following would be the best title for the passage?A.Causes for Traffic AccidentsB.Drunken Pedestrian AccidentsC.Severe Highway Safety ProblemsD.Consequences of Drunken Driving57.The annual number of highway deaths is about____.A.49,000B.7,000C.2,500D.1,00058.Among the causes for walker’s accidents,the most challenging is____.A.long delays in traffic signalsB.drunken pedestrians/doc/8710321801.html,ck of adult supervision for childrenD.few methods to regulate walking habits59.What can be inferred to regulate walking habits.A.Drunken driving is getting more serious.B.Pedestrian accidents involving children are on the riseC.Effective measures have been taken to regulate walking habitsD.Long delays in traffic signals may encourage walkers to break traffic regulation.60.The coming paragraph will probably discuss how to cope with_____.A.drunken drivingB.drunken jaywalkingC.alcohol-related pedestrian accidentsD.traffic accidents involving childrenPassage4In writing smart thinking，I myself learnt as much as I would hope for its readers.So it was an easy decision to produce a new edition.This second edition reflects my experiences of teaching with smart thinking over the years since it was first published.In revising it,I have found that much of the first edition remains valuable,and that students have learnt much from it.But I havealso made some significant changes.Greater assistance has been provided in the earlier chapters of this edition to help readers with the more complicated skills,and later chapters on reasoning and on research have been expanded.The final chapter is now a fully worked example of the skills,offering a model of the power of the approach I am outlining.I would hope that readers will now find the journey towards greater ability in critical thinking and reasoning a little bit easier,and with a clearer goal ahead.61.The author of the passage is____.A.a teacherB.a publisherC.a reporterD.a bookseller62.Which of the following is true of the first edition of smart thinking?A.It has been revised several times over the yearsB.The decision to produce its new edition is difficultC.It fails to help its readers improve their thinking skillsD.Writing it is a kind of learning for the author herself63.In the second edition of the book,____.A.a chapter on research has been addedB.the chapter on reasoning has been canceledC.an example of thinking skills has been providedD.the content of the first edition has been excluded64.The final chapter of the second edition____.A.deals with reasoningB.provides a modelC.focuses on researchD.sets a new goal65.The passage is most probably a part of____.A.a public

been completed.·Choose shows that develop your kid’s interest in hobbies and learning.Then preview the programs to make sure they’re proper before your kids watch them.·Come up with a family TV schedule.Make sure to turn off the TV when the“scheduled”programs are over instead of watching something else on TV.·Watch TV with your kids and talk to them about what they see on TV and share your

Finland’s(芬兰)education system is also drawing widespread attention.This kind of education mo de is called“Sheep Mom”“Sheep Mom”refers to an extensive way of education that sets only basic objectives but no core syllabus(教学大纲).(72)Teachers can feel free to use any teaching method as long as most children an reach the goals.(73)People in Finland firmly believe that education is a“service”and children are“customers”.(74)Since the education mode in Finland is basically like “sheep-herding”(放羊),it is also called“Sheep Mom”.The result of“sheep-herding”cannot be underestimated(低估).In the last four international Program for International Student Assessment(PISA)test, students from Finland all ranked in the top three in math,reading and science.(75)This report not only surprised the
