1、Acceptance of Chronic IllnessFｏｒchronically ill patients, giving up the hope that they will get better may actually lead to more happiness, U. S. researchers suggest."Hope is an important part of happiness, but there\'s a dark side of hope. Sometimes, if hope makes people put off getting on with their life, it can get in the way of happiness," Dr. Peter A. Ubel from the University of Michigan Health System said in a university news release.He ａｎｄ　his colleagues studied patients who\'d just had a colostomy (结肠造口术), which means their colons (结肠) were removed ａｎｄ　they had to have bowel (肠) movements in a pouch (小袋) outside the body. At the time of the surgery, some patients were told the procedure was reversible ａｎｄ　they\'d have a second operation in a few months to reconnect their bowels. Other patients were told the colostomy was permanent.The patients were followed fｏｒsix months, ａｎｄ　the researchers found that those without hope of regaining normal bowel function were happier than those with reversible colostomies."We think they were happier because they got on with their life. They realized the cards they were dealt, ａｎｄ　recognized that they had no choice but to play with those cards," Ubel said. "The otherｇｒｏｕｐwas waiting fｏｒtheir colostomy to be reversed. They contrasted their current life with the life they hoped to lead, ａｎｄ　didn\'t make the best of their current situation. "The study, published in the November edition of Health Psychology, also may explain why people whose spouse dies often recover better emotionally over time than those who get divorced, the researchers said.That\'s because people whose husbａｎｄ　ｏｒwife dies have closure (结束), while those who get divorced may still have hope fｏｒsome chance of making up, they explained.Chronically ill patients may be happier ______.【单选题】

A.if they keep thinking of their past

B.if they believe they\'ll recover

C.if they put off moving on

D.if they manage to get on with their life

正确答案:D

答案解析:本题有一定难度，关键在吃透原文句意和选项意思。答案依据在文章第一段，第一段谈到，对于慢性病病人来说，放下身体会变好的希望可能会使他们更幸福，回来看选项，D项和原文句意相符，是答案。考生要理解好D项里get on with这个短语，此处指“生活会过得好”。

2、Driving after drinkingThe legal ｌｉｍｉｔfｏｒdriving after drinking alcohol is 80 milligrams of alcohol in 100 millilitres of blood, when tested. But there is no sure way of telling how much you can drink before you reach this limit. It varies with each person depending on your weight, your sex, what you\'ve just eaten ａｎｄ　what sort of drinks you\'ve had. Some people might reach their ｌｉｍｉｔafter only about three standard drinks.In fact, your driving ability can be affected by just one ｏｒtwo drinks. Even if you\'re below the legal limit, you could still be taken to court if a police officer thinks your driving has been affected by alcohol.It takes about an hour fｏｒthe body to get rid of the alcohol in one standard drink. So, if you have a heavy drinking in the evening you might find that your driving ability is still affected the next morning, ｏｒyou could even find that you\'re still over the legal limit. In addition, if you\'ve had a few drinks at lunchtime, another one ｏｒtwo drinks in the early evening may well put you over the legal limit.In a test with professional drivers, the more alcoholic drinks they had had, the more certain they were that they could drive a test course through a ｓｅｔof movable posts…ａｎｄ　the less able they were to do it! So the only way to be sure you\'re safe is not to drink at all.Alcohol is a majｏｒcause of road traffic accidents. One in three of the drivers killed in road accidents have levels of alcohol which are over the legal limit, ａｎｄ　road accidents after drinking are the biggest cause of death among young men. More than half of the people stopped by the police to take a breath test have a blood alcohol concentration of more than twice the legal limit.It is important to remember that driving after you\'ve been drinking doesn\'t just affect you. If you\'re involved in an accident it affects a lot of other people as well, not least the person you might kill ｏｒinjure.Alcohol is the majｏｒcause of traffic accidents because____.【单选题】

A.more than 30％ road casualties are drink drivers

B.drinking affects people\'s mind ａｎｄ　emotion

C.about one-third drivers are used to drinking

D.young drivers are familiar among traffic victims

正确答案:B

答案解析:细节考查题。题干考查的是为什么酒精是交通事故的主要原因。文中多处提到喝酒会影响“driving ability”，故正确答案为B，其他三个选项并非题干的原因。

3、 Happiness If your sense of well-being fluctuates with stock market, you might be comforted to know that money can\'t buy you happiness anyway. In one American study conducted in 1993, level of income was shown to have an inverse relation to happiness: Theｇｒｏｕｐwhose income had declined was happier overall than theｇｒｏｕｐwhose income had increased. A soon-to-be published review of the hundreds of studies on this subject supports the 1993 findings. In developed countries, the correlation between income ａｎｄ　happiness is close to zero ａｎｄ　sometimes negative. With a correlation between level of income ａｎｄ　happiness somewhere between 0.12 ａｎｄ　0.18, the United States is near the bottom of the list; that factors other than income are overwhelmingly more important in explaining happiness. Also, as our material wealth increases, the gap between income ａｎｄ　satisfaction with life seems to be widening. Predictably, money has its most positive effect on the poor, but once a person has achieved a minimal standard of living level of income has almost nothing to do with happiness. Close relationship, rather than money, is the key to happiness. Indeed, the number of one\'s personal friends is a much better indicatｏｒof overall satisfaction with life than personal wealth. One stands a better chance of achieving a satisfying life by spending time with friends ａｎｄ　family than by striving fｏｒhigher income. Incidentally, in the US, as people become richer, the probability of divorce increases. Our need fｏｒcompanionship is partly biological. All primates respond with pleasure to demonstrations of affection ａｎｄ　with pain to loss of companionship. Isolated monkeys will sacrifice food just fｏｒthe glimpses of another monkey. By ignoring our biologically programmed need fｏｒeach other, we risk physical ａｎｄ　mental distress. A recent cross-national study of mental depression in the US found that in advanced countries, there is a rising tide of majｏｒdepression. Teenage suicides have increased in recent decades in almost all advanced countries. Moreover, in the US since World War Ⅱ, there has been an actual decline in the proportion of people who report themselves to be "very unhappy. " You can easily test the claim that companionship exceeds wealth as a source of happiness. Ask yourself which has a greater influence on your satisfaction with life: your income ｏｒthe affection of your intimate companions ａｎｄ　the well-being of your children? Conversely, which would make you more depressed: a reduction in salary ｏｒa divorce ａｎｄ　isolation from your friends? Capitalism succeeds in creating material riches, but it is less successful in building companionable societies ａｎｄ　protecting family integrity. But developing countries still have much work to do in pursuing material wealth, where a rise in productivity still greatly increases happiness. Fｏｒpoorer countries, the time is not yet ripe fｏｒa shift in priorities from wealth accumulation to companionship. Can we afford to believe that the pursuit of material gain will lead to self-fulfillment? We should continue to enjoy our wealth in good company, ｏｒelse we may find that it is not satisfying. Which of the following statements best describes the situation in the US, according to the 1993 study? 【单选题】

A.Most people think personal wealth can make them happy.

B.Most people do not think wealth has much to do with happiness.

C.Money is an important factｏｒin making one happy.

D.Happiness can only be explained in terms of income.

正确答案:B

答案解析:选项中B的内容与文章主题贴近（大多数人不认为财富与快乐有很大的关系），因此推测B很可能是答案。在文章中找到答案相关句： （第2段）In one American study conducted in 1993, level of income was shown to have an inverse (A relation to happiness: theｇｒｏｕｐwhose income had declined was happier overall than theｇｒｏｕｐwhose income had increased. 根据这句话的内容可以否定A、C和D，因此与文章主题内容一致的B是答案。

4、Human Heart Can Make New CellsSolving a longstanding mystery, scientists have found that the human heart continues to generate new cardiac cells throughout the life span, although the rate of new cell production slows with age. The finding, published in the April 3 issue of Science, could open a new path fｏｒthe treatment of heart diseases such as heart failure ａｎｄ　heart attack, experts say. "We find that the beating cells in the heart, cardiomyocytes, are renewed," said lead researcher Dr. Jonas Frisen, a professｏｒof stem cell research at the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm, Sweden. "It has previously not been known whether we were limited to the cardiomyocytes we are born with ｏｒif they could be renewed," he said. The process of renewing these cells changes over time, Frisen added. In a 20-year-old, about 1 percent of cardiomyocytes are exchanged each year, but the turnover rate decreases with age to only 0. 45 percent by age 75, "If we can understａｎｄ　how the generation of new cardiomyocytes is regulated, it may be potentially possible to develop pharmaceuticals that promote this process to stimulate regeneration after fｏｒexample, a heart attack, "Frisen said. That could lead to treatment that helps restore damaged hearts. A lot of people suffer from chronic heart failure," noted co-authｏｒDr. Ratan Bhardwaj. Ratan Bhardwaj, also from the Karolinska Institute. "Chronic heart failure arises from heart cells dying," he said. With this finding, scientists are "opening the doｏｒto potential therapies to having ourselves heal ourselves," Bhardwaj said. "Maybe one could devise a pharmaceutical agent that would make heart cells make new ａｎｄ　more cells to overcome the problem they are facing. " But barriers remain. According to Bhardwaj, scientists do not yet know how to increase heart cell production to a rate that would replace cells faster than they are dying off, especially in older patients with heart failure. In addition, the number of new cells the heart produces was estimated using healthy hearts-whether the rate of cell turnover in diseased hearts is the same remains unknown.The human heart stops producing cardiac cells____.【单选题】

A.when a person becomes old

B.as soon as a person gets sick

C.immediately after a person is born

D.once a person dies

正确答案:D

答案解析:根据是第一段中：. . . the human heart continues to generate new cardiac cells throughout the life span。在人的整个生命进程中，其心脏不断产生新的心肌细胞。言外之意，这个过程直到人死才会停止。

5、GypsiesWhen school was out, I hurried to find my sister ａｎｄ　get out of the schoolyard before seeing anybody in my class. But Barbara ａｎｄ　her friends had beaten us to the playground entrance ａｎｄ　they seemed to be waiting fｏｒus. Barbara said, "So now you\'re in the A class. " She sounded impressed. "What\'s the A class?" I asked. Everybody made superiｏｒyet faintly envious giggling sounds. "Well, why did you think the teacher moved you to the front of the room, dopey? Didn\'t you know you were in the C class before, way in the back of the room?" Of course I hadn\'t known. The Wenatchee fifth grade was bigger than my whole school which had been in North Dakota, ａｎｄ　the idea of subdivisions within a grade had never occurred to me. The subdividing fｏｒthe first marking period had been done before I came to the school, ａｎｄ　1 had never, in the six weeks I\'d been there, talked to anyone long enough to find out about the A, B, ａｎｄ　C classes.I still could not understａｎｄ　why that had made such a difference to Barbara ａｎｄ　her friends. I didn\'t yet know that it was shameful ａｎｄ　dirty to be a transient laborer ａｎｄ　ridiculous to be from North Dakota. I thought living in a tent was more fun than living in a house.I didn\'t know that we were gypsies, really (how that thought would have excited me then!), ａｎｄ　that we were regarded with the suspicion felt by those who plant toward those who do not plant. It didn\'t occur to me that we were all looked upon as one more of the untrustworthy natural phenomena, drifting here ａｎｄ　there like mists ｏｒwinds. I didn\'t know that I was the only child who had camped on the Baumann\'s lａｎｄ　ever to get out of the C class. I didn\'t know that school administrators ａｎｄ　civic leaders held conferences to talk about the problem of transient laborers.I only knew that fｏｒtwo happy days I walked to school with Barbara ａｎｄ　her friends, played hopscotch ａｎｄ　jumped rope with them at class intervals, ａｎｄ　was even invited into the house fｏｒsome ginger ale --－－a strange drink I had never tasted before.The tone of this passage as a whole is ____.【单选题】

A.reflective

B.enthusiastic

C.impersonal

D.defensive

正确答案:A

答案解析:reflective在此意为： 回顾的。在这个问题中tone： 语气、心情。纵观全文，我们可以看出，叙述者是在回忆她童年时发生的一件事（第一、二、三、四段）及这件事的发生所给她带来的感受（第四、五段）。impersonal：不涉及个人情感的、客观的；defensive：辩护的、申辩的。这里并非是作者因受到指责而为自己辩护，本文主要谈的是人与人之间的歧视给作者当时幼小心灵带来的困惑。
