Erum Nadeem: Your article on happiness lifted my spirits. There is one very interesting aspect to note: the eight steps to happiness listed on pages 32-33 may as well be translations of the values of our cultural tradition. If people would see our values from these aspects, there would be no misunderstanding—only happiness.Sander Tideman: I applaud your special on the science of happiness. However, the issue would have been more complete had it mentioned the idea of viewing economic development policies in the context of\"gross national happiness\" or GNH. This concept is based on the recognition that gross national product does not accurately reflect the well-being of a nation. GNH is a bold idea with far-reaching effects. Since happiness has a scientific base, it can be developed and promoted on a larger social scale.Paul Aboh: Happiness is a gift, not a commodity. Even the poor have the ability to cultivate and share happiness. We can find pleasure in the small things we often take for granted-a smile, a helping hand, a kiss, a wave, a pat on the back, a glass of water and a promise kept. And when you discover its source, you know it. Sometimes happiness overflows, but it never destroys.Mansoor Malik Happiness is not a product of achievement or wealth or fame. It is the reaction of our mind to the environment. Faith in the values of our long-cherished cultural tradition is a source of well-being. Happiness comes from caring for others and giving whatever we can—help, hope, love, respect, sympathy or just a smile.Peter Fischer At a time when there seem to be so many

reasons for being unhappy, I appreciated your special report on happiness. Surely the poorest kids in Africa who are without parents and are often hungry are the ones with the most reasons to be unhappy. What can possibly make them smile? As your article pointed out, however, we cannot wait for enough friends or a lot of money to make us happy. We have an amazing capacity to set ourselves right. Now match the name of each person (36-40) to the appropriate statement. Note: there are two extra statements.

Read the following two texts. Answer the questions on each text by choosing A, B, C or D.

Technology has been an encouragement of historical change. It acted as such a force in England beginning in the eighteenth century, and across the entire Western World in the nineteenth. Rapid advances were made in the use of scientific findings in the manufacture (制造) of goods, which has changed ideas about work. One of the first changes was that other forms of energy have taken the place of human power. Along with this came the increased use of machines to manufacture products in less time. People also developed machines that could produce the same parts for a product: each nail was exactly like every other nail, meaning that each nail could be changed for every other nail. This means that goods could be mass produced, though mass production required breaking production down into smaller and smaller tasks. Once this was done, workers no longer started on the product and labored to complete it. Instead , they might work only one thousandth of it, other workers completing their own parts in certain order. There is nothing strange about this manufacturing work by today´s standards. Highly skilled workers were unable to compare with the new production techniques, as mass production allowed goods of high standard to be produced in greater number than could ever be done by hand. But the skilled worker wasn´t the only loser, the common workers lost too. Similar changes forced farmers away. The increased mechanization(机械化) of agriculture freed masses of workers from ploughing the land and harvesting its crops. They had little choice but to stream toward the rapidly developing industrial centers. Increasingly, standards were set by machines. Workers no longer owned their own tools, their skill was no longer valued, and pride in their work was no longer possible. Workers fed, looked after and repaired the machines that could work faster than humans at greatly reduced cost.

第20题

A.Other forms of energy have taken the place of human power. B.The increased exploitation of workers in the 19th century. C.The increased use of machines to make products in less time. D.The use of machines producing parts of the same standard. 第21题

B.the practice of producing the same parts for a product C.the human power being replaced by other forms of energy

D.the technology becoming the encouragement of historical change

The underlined word \"this\" in the second paragraph refers to the change that______. A.each nail could be taken the place of by every other nail B.each nail was exactly like every other nail C.producing tasks became smaller and smaller D.goods could be mass produced 第23题

Read the texts from a magazine article in which five people talk about tipping in a restaurant. For questions 36-40, match the name of each person to one of the statements (A-G) given below. Directions: Read the text from a magazine article in which several people expressed their different opinions on the same issue. Please match the name of each person to one of the statements given below. Douglas Spensor I want the maximum amount of compensation from the new supermarket owners for both loss of business and inconvenience of moving. As the most recent of the tenants in these shops, I would like to say I feel it is very unfair to calculate compensation based on length of time in residence. I think it should be on the amount of goods Sold day by day in shop. I get more than the tobacco and magazine vendor although they have dealt in this supermarket for over fifteen years. My goods are more expensive. Besides, my

business is excellent and I have just employed five assistants.

Sony Herry I want the maximum amount of compensation to be paid to all shop owners. The formula for the compensation can be worked out in detail later, but I want a deal that will give me the most amount of money as my business, not very big, is sufficient to support my wife and 12 year old son. And I have planned to retire soon anyway for I have worked here for more than 15 years. I hope we will make an agreement among all the shop owners not to accept employment in the new supermarket unless they pay us enough compensation. I insist that all my colleagues stick to this agreement.

Maltese Brown I feel I have the greatest amount of money to lose than any of the other shop owners as I have recently spent a large amount of money on new valuable stock which I need to sell. I don´ t want any compensation at all. I simply want the landlord to be honorable and to allow us to renew our tenancy agreements. I have made an agreement with the other shop owners not to accept employment in the new supermarket if it is offered, unless all the shop owners can work there.

Tom Clouse Something should be done about this situation. The reputation of the business is most important. Many people come to my salon regularly only because I am the best hairdresser here. My business has been very successful over the last five years. But if I close up my shop during the decoration, I will lose many of my customers. When considering the compensation, we should take into account of the factor of reputation.

Durante Li I do not want the market to close. The majority of my customers live near the market and it would be very difficult for them to travel to the other side of this district for meat. And the store of my goods is very expensive. I need fridges, even icehouses. The compensation should cover all the costs, otherwise, I wouldn´ t move out. Now match each of the persons with the appropriate statement.

Note: there are two extra statements. Statements

A. Capital is the main factor.

B. Residence is most important.

C. I don´ t want to close up my shop.

D. As for me the compensation is my pension. E. The circle of customers is the critical point. F. All the shop owners should unite. G. The contract should be reconsidered. 第25题 Sony Herry A. B. C. D.

About 10 years ago I met an advertising executive in New York who explained the difficulty of advertising a new brand of deodorant(除臭剂)to consumers. \"Most people never change their deodorant, \"I remember him saying. \"They pick one brand when they are young, and stick with it for a long, long time. If it works, why switch?\" 【B1】______ Once they have picked a type of phone, whether it´ s Apple iOS, Google Android or something else, it´s difficult, and often expensive, to switch. Consumers become comfortable with the interface and design of the phone and the apps they have purchased on that platform.【B2】______ That is why the race to pull in smartphone buyers is going to be especially severe over the next 18 to 24 months.【B3】______ there are still hundreds of millions of mobile phone owners around the world who have yet to move from a standard mobile or feature phone to its smarter, more intelligent big brother; the smart phone. Yet the change is happening at a much quicker pace than technology analysts and companies originally theorized. A report issued this week by Nielsen, the market research firm, found that among Americans【B4】______ 55 percent opted for a smart phone. This is up from 34 percent a year ago. At this point, who will lead that market is not up for debate. Android has been growing at a pace no one could have imagined, even Google. The company said this week that it now activates more than 500,000 Android devices each day. Mr. Llamas said Apple, which changed the smart phone game in 2007 when it introduced the iPhone, potentially has a ceiling with consumers as its mobile phone is often more expensive than those of its competitors. Although millions of customers flock to Apple products for their beauty,

simplicity and powerful brand, many can´t afford a new iPhone. This could change【B5】______ as some analysts expect. \"Right now the iPhone only comes in one flavor; it´ s not like other Apple products like the iPod where there are several different sizes, shapes and prices, \" Mr. Llamas said.[A] Although it may seem that everyone owns a smart phone these days,[B] if Apple offers a less expensive model of the iPhone later this year,[C] If it works, why switch?[D] who purchased a new mobile phone in the last three months,[E] The smart phone race is still raging.[F] The same theory can be applied to customers who are making the switch to smart phones today.[G] iPhone is too expensive for most people,

Read the texts from a magazine article in which five people talk about tipping in a restaurant. For questions 36-40, match the name of each person to one of the statements (A-G) given below. Directions: Read the text from a magazine article in which several people expressed their

different opinions on the same issue. Please match the name of each person to one of the statements given below. Douglas Spensor I want the maximum amount of compensation from the new supermarket owners for both loss of business and inconvenience of moving. As the most recent of the tenants in these shops, I would like to say I feel it is very unfair to calculate compensation based on length of time in residence. I think it should be on the amount of goods Sold day by day in shop. I get more than the tobacco and magazine vendor although they have dealt in this supermarket for over fifteen years. My goods are more expensive. Besides, my business is excellent and I have just employed five assistants.

Sony Herry I want the maximum amount of compensation to be paid to all shop owners. The formula for the compensation can be worked out in detail later, but I want a deal that will give me the most amount of money as my business, not very big, is sufficient to support my wife and 12 year old son. And I have planned to retire soon anyway for I have worked here for more than 15 years. I hope we will make an agreement among all the shop owners not to accept employment in the new supermarket unless they pay us enough compensation. I insist that all my colleagues stick to this agreement.

Maltese Brown I feel I have the greatest amount of money to lose than any of the other shop owners as I have recently spent a large amount of money on new valuable stock which I need to sell. I don´ t want any compensation at all. I simply want the landlord to be honorable and to allow us to renew our tenancy agreements. I have made an agreement with the other shop owners not to accept employment in the new supermarket if it is offered, unless all the shop owners can work there.

Tom Clouse Something should be done about this situation. The reputation of the business is most important. Many people come to my salon regularly only because I am the best hairdresser here. My business has been very successful over the last five years. But if I close up my shop during the decoration, I will lose many of my customers. When considering the compensation, we should take into account of the factor of reputation.

Durante Li I do not want the market to close. The majority of my customers live near the market and it would be very difficult for them to travel to the other side of this district for meat. And the store of my goods is very expensive. I need fridges, even icehouses. The compensation should cover all the costs, otherwise, I wouldn´ t move out. Now match each of the persons with the appropriate statement.

Note: there are two extra statements. Statements

A. Capital is the main factor.

B. Residence is most important.

C. I don´ t want to close up my shop.

D. As for me the compensation is my pension. E. The circle of customers is the critical point. F. All the shop owners should unite. G. The contract should be reconsidered. 第25题 Sony Herry A.

About 10 years ago I met an advertising executive in New York who explained the difficulty of advertising a new brand of deodorant(除臭剂)to consumers. \"Most people never change their

deodorant, \"I remember him saying. \"They pick one brand when they are young, and stick with it for a long, long time. If it works, why switch?\" 【B1】______ Once they have picked a type of phone, whether it´ s Apple iOS, Google Android or something else, it´s difficult, and often expensive, to switch. Consumers become comfortable with the interface and design of the phone and the apps they have purchased on that platform.【B2】______ That is why the race to pull in smartphone buyers is going to be especially severe over the next 18 to 24 months.【B3】______ there are still hundreds of millions of mobile phone owners around the world who have yet to move from a standard mobile or feature phone to its smarter, more intelligent big brother; the smart phone. Yet the change is happening at a much quicker pace than technology analysts and companies originally theorized. A report issued this week by Nielsen, the market research firm, found that among Americans【B4】______ 55 percent opted for a smart phone. This is up from 34 percent a year ago. At this point, who will lead that market is not up for debate. Android has been growing at a pace no one could have imagined, even Google. The company said this week that it now activates more than 500,000 Android devices each day. Mr. Llamas said Apple, which changed the smart phone game in 2007 when it introduced the iPhone, potentially has a ceiling with consumers as its mobile phone is often more expensive than those of its competitors. Although millions of customers flock to Apple products for their beauty, simplicity and powerful brand, many can´t afford a new iPhone. This could change【B5】______ as some analysts expect. \"Right now the iPhone only comes in one flavor; it´ s not like other Apple products like the iPod where there are several different sizes, shapes and prices, \" Mr. Llamas said.[A] Although it may seem that everyone owns a smart phone these days,[B] if Apple offers a less expensive model of the iPhone later this year,[C] If it works, why switch?[D] who purchased a new mobile phone in the last three months,[E] The smart phone race is still raging.[F] The same theory can be applied to customers who are making the switch to smart phones today.[G] iPhone is too expensive for most people,

When Carly Fiorina became Hewlett Packards first female chief executive officer, the existence of her househusband, Frank Fiorina, who had retired early from AT&T to support her career, was a minisensation (小轰动); now this arrangement isn´ t【C1】______ at all.

参： 正确答案：O

详细解答： 解析：空格前面是be动词的否定形式，因此空格处需要填入形容词作表语。前一句中提到卡莉.费奥莉娜的丈夫提前退休来支持她的事业，这在当时引起了一个小轰动。原文中使用了分号，由此可知本句和前一句进行对比，当时的轰动现在不算什么，故形容词unusual为本题答案，意思为“不寻常的，与众不同的”。备选词语中形容词较多，但是能和be动词否定形式搭配，并和前句有对比意义的只能选择unusual。 第36题 【C2】

参： 正确答案：D

详细解答： 解析：空格前面是be动词，后面是名词，此处理论上既可选填形容词，也可选填副词。本句提到，“财富五百强”公司的首席执行官中有18名女性，其中7位的丈夫是全职煮夫。句中表述完整，在首席执行官前再加形容词就显得多余了，因此空格处应选择副词形式，备选项中只有两个副词，此处合乎题意的应是currently“当前，现时”，由此确定答案。空格处需要填入副词形式，regularly“定期地，规律地”放在此处不符合句意，故排

除。 第37题 【C3】

参： 正确答案：G

详细解答： 解析：空格处前面的scores of意为“许多的”，后面有名词CEOs，因此需要填入形容词来进行修饰。文章围绕女性首席执行官展开，而且本句中有and连接的两个并列短语，后者中含有women，因此此处填入female“女性的”符合句意。备选的形容词较多，但是和CEOs搭配都不恰当，只有female和名词搭配，且和本句中另一短语“其他一些女性高级主管”呼应。 第38题 【C4】

参： 正确答案：J

详细解答： 解析：空格前为be动词，根据句意应该填入动词现在分词形式，且该动词需要和前面的role change搭配。备选动词中是现在分词形式且能与role change搭配的只有occurring，意为“发生”。conflict，ensure，fill都是动词原形，不能和be动词搭配，故排除。 第39题 【C5】

参： 正确答案：H

详细解答： 解析：空格前有名词作主语，后面有名词作宾语，可见此处缺少谓语动词，因此需要填入动词形式，且需要和a majority of jobs搭配，fill意为“填充，就职”，可以和jobs搭配并且符合题意。在备选动词中，conflict，ensure不能和jobs搭配。 第40题 【C6】

参： 正确答案：K

详细解答： 解析：空格前是两个并列的形容词managerial和professional，此处需要填入名词形式，前文提到jobs，此处应填入和工作相关的名词。选项中的occupations和positions都和工作相关，occupations意为“职业”，positions意为“位置，职位”，联系空格前的形容词，“管理岗位”、“专业技术职位”更符合表达习惯，故选择positions。备选项中conflict意为“冲突，矛盾，斗争”，recession意为“衰退，不景气”，均不能与managerial和professional搭配，可排除。 第41题 【C7】

参： 正确答案：B

详细解答： 解析：空格处和介词on构成固定搭配，前后都有逗号隔开，在句子中作状语，句子意思为“在美国很多大城市，30岁及30岁以下的女性收入比同龄的男性多”，这是一种概述，因此应加入“大概”、“平均”、“一般”等词来使表述更严谨。备选项中只有average和on构成固定搭配，on average“平均来看”符合题意。备选项中其他词语均不能和on构成固定搭配，故排除。 第42题 【C8】

参： 正确答案：M

详细解答： 解析：空格前面是形容词recent，并且句首处为介词During，由此可知此处想表达“在最近的某个时期”之意，此处缺少名词。此句中又提到了失业率，因此应填入和经济相关的名词形式。备选项中recession“衰退，不景气”放在此处符合句意，为本题答案。

在备选的名词中，conflict意为“冲突，矛盾，斗争”，此句中不含有斗争之意，可排除；occupations“职业”不能和。During搭配，故排除。 第43题 【C9】

参： 正确答案：L

详细解答： 解析：空格前面为定冠词the，后面为名词短语wage earners，所以空格处需要填入形容词作定语。在意义上，本句由while连接的两个分句构成，前后对比，前半句提到丈夫失业，后半句表达妻子要赚钱养家之意。丈夫照顾孩子，妻子成为赚钱的主力，此处的形容词可选择primary“主要的”，意为主要的收入者，符合题意。在备选的形容词中，appealing“吸引人的，动人的，引起兴趣的”不合题意；elementary只表示“基本的，初级的”意思，没有“主要的”之意。 第44题 【C10】

参： 正确答案：N

详细解答： 解析：空格处所在的句子是由who引导的定语从句，前面的who作主语，空格后面是动词短语care for，此处缺少副词作状语，句子表达的意思为：“照看5岁以下孩子的男性数量从1988年的19％上升到2010年的32％”。句中已出现固定时间，备选项中的currently意为“当前，现时”，放入句中造成前后矛盾；regularly意为“定期地，有规律地”，符合句意，因此为本题答案。 上一题 下一题
