Sports in America take a variety of forms: organized competitive struggles, which draw huge crowds to cheer their favorite team to victory; athletic games,played for recreation anywhere sufficient space is found; and hunting and fishing. Most sports are seasonal, so that what is happening in sports depends upon the time of year. Some sports are called spectator sports, as the number of spectators greatly exceeds the number playing in the game. Baseball is the most popular sport in the US. It is played throughout the spring and summer, and professional baseball teams play well into the fall. Although no other game is exactly like baseball, perhaps the one most nearly like it is the English game of cricket. Football is the most popular sport in the fall. The game originated as a college sport more than 75 years ago. It is still played by almost every college and university in the country, and the football stadiums of some of the largest universities seat as many as 80, 000 people. The game is not the same as European football or soccer. In American football there are 11 players on each team, and they are dressed in padded uniforms and helmets because the game is rough and injuries are likely to occur. Basketball is the winter sport in American schools and colleges. Like football, basketball originated in the US and is not popular in other countries. Many Americans prefer it to football because it is played indoors throughout the winter and because it is a faster game. It is a very popular game with high schools, and in more than 20 states, state-wide high school matches are held yearly. Other spectator sports include wrestling, boxing, and horse racing. Although horse-racing fans call themselves sportsmen, the accuracy of the term is questionable, as only the jockeys who ride the horses in the races can be considered athletes. The so-called sportsmen are the spectators, who do "not assemble" primarily to see the horses race, but to bet upon the outcome of each race. Gambling is the attraction of horse racing. Hunting and fishing are mainly favored by men, young and old, in the US. A．Right B．Wrong C．Not mentioned
17、 Professional baseball teams can continue to play for a long period of time in the fall after the regular baseball seasons of spring and summer. A．Right B．Wrong C．Not mentioned
18、 Baseball shares many features with the English game of cricket. A．Right B．Wrong C．Not mentioned
19、 Football can be classified as a spectator sport. A．Right B．Wrong C．Not mentioned
20、 Many Americans like basketball better than football because the latter is so harsh that players have to wear special uniforms. A．Right B．Wrong C．Not mentioned
21、 Basketball in American is so popular with universities that nationwide university matches are held yearly. A．Right B．Wrong C．Not mentioned
22、 Horse-racing fans cannot be considered sportsmen because they are spectators whose primary interest is gambling. A．Right B．Wrong C．Not mentioned

Ed Deiner, an American psychology professor, has spent his whole professional life studying what makes people happy, comparing levels of happiness between cultures and trying to find out exactly why we enjoy ourselves. 2 Many people would say that this question does not need an answer. But Professor Deiner has one anyway. "If you're a cheerful, happy person, your marriage is more likely to last, and you're more likely to make money and be successful at your job. On average, happy people have stronger immune (免疫的) systems, and there is some evidence that they live longer." 3 So who are the world's happiest people? It depends on how the word is defined. There is individual happiness, the sense of joy we get when we do something we like. But there is also the feeling of satisfaction we get when we know that others respect us and approve of how we behave. According to Professor Deiner, the Western world pursues individual happiness while Asia prefers mutual satisfaction. 4 "In the West, the individualistic (個(gè)人主義的) culture means that your mood matters much more than it does in the East. People ask themselves, what can I do that's fun or interesting? They become unhappy when they can't do any of these things. If you ask people from Japan or China if they are happy, they tend to look at what has gone wrong in their lives. If not much has gone wrong, then they are satisfied." 5 People from Spain and other Spanish-speaking countries had the happiest culture, Professor Deiner found. "The biggest cultural difference is to do with pride and shame. Hispanic (西班牙語(yǔ)言的) cultures report much more pride and much less shame than others." 6 Income also made a big difference to people's happiness, but only at the lowest levels. Average income earners in the US were much happier than people in poverty. But millionaires were only a little bit happier than people on average incomes. It seems that money makes us happy when we have enough to feel secure. 7 But can we be too happy? "You get people who are actually happy, but they think happiness is so important that they try to be even happier. This desire to be always happy is a product of individualism, where the emphasis is on you individually, your emotions and feeling good. People can end up feeling unhappy because ordinary happiness is not good enough for them." Paragraph 2__________ .
24、 Paragraph 3__________ .
25、 Paragraph 4__________ .
26、 Paragraph 5__________ . A．Happiest Culture B．An Unhappy Person C．Definition of Happiness D．Cultural Differences in Happiness E Reasons to Be Happy F Individual and Ordinary Happiness
27、 Professor Deiner has spent many years studying__________ in happiness.
28、 Professor Deiner believes that a happy person is less prone (易患) to__________ .
29、 Once we have got enough to feel safe, money does not make __________ difference to our happiness.

A．a(chǎn) question B．ordinary happiness C．individualism D．cultural differences E．much F．illnesses 第4部分：閱讀理解(第31～45題，每題3分，共45分)下面有3篇短文，每篇短文后有5道題。請(qǐng)根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，為每題確定1個(gè)選項(xiàng)。 31、回答31-45題： Motoring Technology 1.2 million road deaths worldwide occur each year,plus a further 50 million injuries.To reduce car crash rate,much research now is focused on safety and new fuels-though some electric vehicle and biofuel research aims at going faster. Travelling at speed has always been dangerous.One advanced area of research in motoring safety is the use of digital in-car assistants.They can ensure you don’t miss important road signs or fall asleep.Most crashes result from human and not mechanical faults. Some safety developments aim to improve your vision.Radar can spot obstacles in fog,while other technology“sees through”big vehicles blocking your view. And improvements to seat belts,pedal(腳踏)controls and tyres are making driving smoother and safer.The colour of a car has been found to be linked with safety,as have,less surprisingly,size and shape. But whatever is in the fuel tank,you don’t want a thief in the driving seat and there have been many innovations(創(chuàng)新).Satellite tracking and remote communications can also come into play if you crash,automatically calling for help. Accidents cause many traffic jams,but there are more subtle interplays between vehicles that can cause jams even on a clear but busy road.Such jams can be analyzed using statistical tools.Robotic drivers could be programmed to make traffic flow smoothly and will perhaps one day be everyons’s personal chauffeur(司機(jī)),but their latest efforts suggest that won’t be soon. To reduce car crash rate,many scientists are working hard to A．design fully automatic cars. B．develop faster electric vehicles. C．a(chǎn)nalyze road deaths occurring worldwide each year. D．improve the safety of cars and develop new fuels.
32、 According to the second paragraph,most road accidents happen due to A．heavy traffic. B．human mistakes. C．engine failure. D．bad weather.

36、回答36-50題： A Society Without a Formal Authority In the seventeenth century, European soldiers who came across some Indian groups in the western Great Lakes found that several native tribes (部落) were living in the area without a formal leadership system. They appeared to be "quite friendly with each other without a formal authority!" Not only did the Indians appear to lack a formal system of authority, but they also deeply hated any efforts to control their actions. All members of the tribes knew what was required of them by lifelong (一生的) familiarity with the tasks of the area. These tasks tended to be simple, since the Indians' rate of social change was slow. Thus, although subgroups such as soldiers had recognized leaders, no real authority was required. Rather than giving direct orders (which were considered rough), members of the tribes would arouse others to action by examples. It would be difficult, if not impossible, to carry out such a system in our own society. Most of us have grown up under one authority or another for as long as we can remember. Our parents, our teachers, our bosses, our government all have the recognized right under certain conditions to tell us what to do. The authority is so much a part of our culture that it is hard for us to imagine a workable society without it. We have been used to relying on authority to get things done and would probably be uncomfortable with the Indian methods of examples on a large scale. Of course, the major reason why the Indian system would not be suitable for us is that our society is too large. The number of tasks that various members of our society have to perform often under tight time and resource limitations could not be treated by the Indian system, in modern societies, the formal authority system is necessary to achieve any social objectives. Which of the following statements about the European soldiers is correct? A．They had no leaders. B．They treated the Indian groups well. C．They came across some Indian groups. D．They found the Indian groups friendly to them.
37、 Members of the tribes got others to do things A．with resolution. B．by examples. C．by force. D．with effort.
38、 According to the author, it is hard for a society to work without A．a(chǎn) recognized authority. B．enough money. C．examples. D．changes.
39、 After reading the passage, you may conclude that A．the Indian system is also suitable for some small towns. B．the Indians tended to follow orders. C．our system is much better than the Indians'. D．the Indian system would be very difficult to implement in our society
40、 It can be inferred from the passage that many tasks in our society have to be carried out A．under severe weather conditions B．without any effort. C．without any delay. D．with ease.
41、回答41-55題： The Changing Middle Class The United States perceives itself to be a middle-class nation, However, middle class is not a real designation,nor does it carry privileges. It is more of a perception, which probably was as true as it ever could be right after World War II. The economy was growing,more and more people owned their own homes,workers had solid contracts with the companies that employed them, and nearly everyone whowanted a higher education could have one. Successful people enjoyed upward social mobility. They may have started out poor,but they could become rich. Successful people also found that they had greater geographic mobility. In other words,they found themselves moving to and living in a variety of places. The middle class collectively holds several values and principles. One strong value is the need to earn enough money to feel that one can determine one's own economic fate. In addition,middle class morality embraces principles of individual responsibility, importance of family, obligations to others,and believing in something outside oneself. But in the 1990s those in the middle class found that there was a price for success. A U. S. News & World Report survey in 1994 indicated that 75 percent of Americans believed that middle class families could no longer make ends meet. Both spouses now worked,as did some of the children; long commutes became routine; the need for child care put strains on the family; and public schools were not as good as they once were. Members of the middle class were no longer financing their lifestyles through earnings but were using credit to stay afloat. The understanding of just what middle class meant was changing. The information in this passage deals with A．a(chǎn)n individual B．a(chǎn) social and economic group C．a(chǎn) political organization D．government
42、 A common middle class value is that A．people should always have fun B．children should be seen and not heard C．debt is nothing to worry about D．the family is very important
43、 In the years after World War II,the middle class could be defined as A．overburdened and in debt B．hard working and suspicious C．prosperous and optimistic D．young and foolish
44、 The phrase "In other words" in the first paragraph means that the following statement is A．a(chǎn)n exception to the previous idea B．a(chǎn) denial of the previous idea C．a(chǎn) restatement of the previous idea D．a(chǎn) contrasting idea
45、 The word collectively means A．a(chǎn)s a group B．hesitatingly C．unknowingly D．weakly 第5部分：補(bǔ)全短文(第46—50題，每題2分，共10分)下面的短文有5處空白，短文后有6個(gè)句子，其中5個(gè)取自短文，請(qǐng)根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容將其分別放回原有位置，以恢復(fù)文章原貌。 46、回答46-50題： Mind Those Manners on the Subway So, there you are, just sitting there in the subway car, enjoying that book you just bought_______(46) Or, the person sitting next to you takes out a nail clipper (指甲刀) and begins cutting his or her nails.

A country's standard of living，(51)， depends on its capacity to produce wealth. "Wealth"(52) this sense is not money， for we do riot live on money (53) on things that money can buy： "goods" such as food and clothing， and "services" such as transport and entertainment. A country's capacity to produce wealth depends upon many factors， most of(54) have an effect on one another. Wealth depends(55) a great extent upon a country's natural resources. Some regions of the world are well supplied with coal and minerals， and have fertile (肥沃的) soil and a favorable climate; other regions possess none of them. Next to natural resources(56) the ability to turn them to use. China is perhaps as well-off(57) the USA in natural resources， but suffered for many years from civil and external wars， and(58) this and other reasons was(59) to develop her resources. Sound and stable political conditions， and(60) from foreign invasions， enable a country to develop its natural resources peacefully and steadily， and to produce more wealth than another country equally well favoured by nature but less well ordered. A country's standard of living does not only depend upon the wealth that is produced and consumed (61) its own borders， but also upon what is directly produced through international trade. (62)， Britain's wealth in foodstuffs and other agricultural products would be much less if she had to depend only on(63) grown at home. Trade makes it possible for her surplus (過(guò)剩的) manufactured goods to be traded abroad for the agricultural products that would(64) be lacking. A country's wealth is，therefore， much(65) by its manufacturing capacity provided (如果) that other countries can be found ready to accept its manufactures.

36、回答36-50題： A Society Without a Formal Authority In the seventeenth century, European soldiers who came across some Indian groups in the western Great Lakes found that several native tribes (部落) were living in the area without a formal leadership system. They appeared to be "quite friendly with each other without a formal authority!" Not only did the Indians appear to lack a formal system of authority, but they also deeply hated any efforts to control their actions. All members of the tribes knew what was required of them by lifelong (一生的) familiarity with the tasks of the area. These tasks tended to be simple, since the Indians' rate of social change was slow. Thus, although subgroups such as soldiers had recognized leaders, no real authority was required. Rather than giving direct orders (which were considered rough), members of the tribes would arouse others to action by examples. It would be difficult, if not impossible, to carry out such a system in our own society. Most of us have grown up under one authority or another for as long as we can remember. Our parents, our teachers, our bosses, our government all have the recognized right under certain conditions to tell us what to do. The authority is so much a part of our culture that it is hard for us to imagine a workable society without it. We have been used to relying on authority to get things done and would probably be uncomfortable with the Indian methods of examples on a large scale. Of course, the major reason why the Indian system would not be suitable for us is that our society is too large. The number of tasks that various members of our society have to perform often under tight time and resource limitations could not be treated by the Indian system, in modern societies, the formal authority system is necessary to achieve any social objectives. Which of the following statements about the European soldiers is correct? A．They had no leaders. B．They treated the Indian groups well. C．They came across some Indian groups. D．They found the Indian groups friendly to them.
37、 Members of the tribes got others to do things A．with resolution. B．by examples. C．by force. D．with effort.
38、 According to the author, it is hard for a society to work without A．a(chǎn) recognized authority. B．enough money. C．examples. D．changes.
39、 After reading the passage, you may conclude that A．the Indian system is also suitable for some small towns. B．the Indians tended to follow orders. C．our system is much better than the Indians'. D．the Indian system would be very difficult to implement in our society
40、 It can be inferred from the passage that many tasks in our society have to be carried out A．under severe weather conditions B．without any effort. C．without any delay. D．with ease.
41、回答41-55題： The Changing Middle Class The United States perceives itself to be a middle-class nation, However, middle class is not a real designation,nor does it carry privileges. It is more of a perception, which probably was as true as it ever could be right after World War II. The economy was growing,more and more people owned their own homes,workers had solid contracts with the companies that employed them, and nearly everyone whowanted a higher education could have one. Successful people enjoyed upward social mobility. They may have started out poor,but they could become rich. Successful people also found that they had greater geographic mobility. In other words,they found themselves moving to and living in a variety of places. The middle class collectively holds several values and principles. One strong value is the need to earn enough money to feel that one can determine one's own economic fate. In addition,middle class morality embraces principles of individual responsibility, importance of family, obligations to others,and believing in something outside oneself. But in the 1990s those in the middle class found that there was a price for success. A U. S. News & World Report survey in 1994 indicated that 75 percent of Americans believed that middle class families could no longer make ends meet. Both spouses now worked,as did some of the children; long commutes became routine; the need for child care put strains on the family; and public schools were not as good as they once were. Members of the middle class were no longer financing their lifestyles through earnings but were using credit to stay afloat. The understanding of just what middle class meant was changing. The information in this passage deals with A．a(chǎn)n individual B．a(chǎn) social and economic group C．a(chǎn) political organization D．government

A country's standard of living，(51)， depends on its capacity to produce wealth. "Wealth"(52) this sense is not money， for we do riot live on money (53) on things that money can buy： "goods" such as food and clothing， and "services" such as transport and entertainment. A country's capacity to produce wealth depends upon many factors， most of(54) have an effect on one another. Wealth depends(55) a great extent upon a country's natural resources. Some regions of the world are well supplied with coal and minerals， and have fertile (肥沃的) soil and a favorable climate; other regions possess none of them. Next to natural resources(56) the ability to turn them to use. China is perhaps as well-off(57) the USA in natural resources， but suffered for many years from civil and external wars， and(58) this and other reasons was(59) to develop her resources. Sound and stable political conditions， and(60) from foreign invasions， enable a country to develop its natural resources peacefully and steadily， and to produce more wealth than another country equally well favoured by nature but less well ordered. A country's standard of living does not only depend upon the wealth that is produced and consumed (61) its own borders， but also upon what is directly produced through international trade. (62)， Britain's wealth in foodstuffs and other agricultural products would be much less if she had to depend only on(63) grown at home. Trade makes it possible for her surplus (過(guò)剩的) manufactured goods to be traded abroad for the agricultural products that would(64) be lacking. A country's wealth is，therefore， much(65) by its manufacturing capacity provided (如果) that other countries can be found ready to accept its manufactures.
