There are two types of people in the world. Although they have equal degree of health and wealth and other comforts of life, one becomes happy and the other becomes unhappy. This arises from the different ways in which they consider things, persons, events and the resulting effects upon their minds.
People who are to be happy fix their attention on the convenience of things: the pleasant parts of conversation, the well prepared dishes, the goodness of the wine and the fine weather. They enjoy all the cheerful things. Those who are to be unhappy think and speak only of the opposite things. Therefore, they are continually dissatisfied. By their remarks, they sour the pleasure of society, offend(hurt) many people, and make themselves disagreeable everywhere. If this turn of mind was founded in nature, such unhappy persons would be the more to be pitied. The intention of criticizing(批评) and being disliked is perhaps taken up by imitation(模仿). It grows into a habit, unknown to its possessors. The habit may be strong, but it may be cured when those who have it realize its bad effects on their interests and tastes. I hope this little warning may be of service to them, and help them change this habit.
Although in fact it is chiefly an act of the imagination, it has serious results in life since it brings on deep sorrow and bad luck. Those people offend many others; nobody loves them, and no one treats them with more than the most common politeness and respect. This frequently puts them in bad temper and draws them into arguments. If they aim at getting some advantages in social position or fortune, nobody wishes them success. Nor will anyone start a step or speak a word to favor their hopes. If they bring on themselves public objections, no one will defend or excuse them, and many will join to criticize their wrongdoings. These should change this bad habit and be pleased with what is pleasing, without worrying needlessly about themselves and others. If they do not, it will be good for others to avoid any contact(接触) with them. Otherwise, it can be disagreeable and sometimes very inconvenient, especially when one becomes mixed up in their quarrels.
46. People who are unhappy _______.
A. always consider things differently from others
B. usually are affected by the results of certain things
C. usually misunderstand what others think or say
D. always discover the unpleasant side of certain things
47. The phrase “sour the pleasure of society” most nearly means “_______”.
A. have a good taste with social life B. make others unhappy
C. tend so scold others openly D. enjoy the pleasure of life
48. We can conclude from the passage that _______.
A. we should pity all such unhappy people
B. such unhappy people are dangerous to social life
C. people can get rid of the habit of unhappiness
D. unhappy people can not understand happy persons
49. If such unhappy persons insist on keeping the habit, the author suggests that people should _______.
A. prevent any communication with them
B. show no respect and politeness to them
C. persuade them to recognize the bad effects
D. quarrel with them until they realize the mistakes
50. In this passage, the writer mainly _______.
A. describes two types of people
B. laughs at the unhappy people
C. suggests the unhappy people should get rid of the habits of unhappiness
D. tells people how to be happy in life

A child who has once been pleased with a tale likes, as a rule, to have it retold in almost the same words, but this should not lead parents to treat printed fairy stories as formal texts. It is always much better to tell a story than read it out of a book, and, if a parent can produce what, in the actual situation of the time and the child, is an improvement on the printed text, so much the better.
A charge made against fairy tales is that they harm the child by frightening him or making him sad thinking. To prove the latter, one would have to show in a controlled experiment that children who have read fairy stories were more often sorry for cruelty than those who had not. As to fears, there are, I think, some cases of children being dangerously terrified by some fairy story. Often, however, this arises(出现) from the child having heard the story once. Familiarity with the story by repetition turns the pain of fear into the pleasure of a fear faced and mastered.
There are also people who object to fairy stories on the grounds that they are not objectively true, that giants, witches, two-headed dragons, magic carpets, etc. do not exist; and that, instead of being fond of the strange side in fairy tales, the child should be taught to learn the reality by studying history. I find such people, I must say so peculiar(奇怪的) that I do not know how to argue with them. If their case were sound, the world should be full of mad men attempting to fly from New York to Philadelphia on a stick or covering a telephone with kisses in the belief that it was their beloved girl-friend.
No fairy story ever declared to be a description of the real world and no clever child has ever believed that it was.
41. The author considers that a fairy story is more effective when it is _______.
A. repeated without any change B. treated as a joke
C. made some changes by the parent D. set in the present
42. According to the passage, great fear can take place in a child when the story is _______.
A. in a realistic setting B. heard for the first time
C. repeated too often D. told in a different way
43. The advantage claimed(提出) for repeating fairy stories to young children is that it _______.
A. makes them less fearful
B. develops their power of memory
C. makes them believe there is nothing to be afraid of
D. encourages them not to have strange beliefs
44. The author’s mention of sticks and telephones is meant to suggest that _______.
A. fairy stories are still being made up
B. there is some misunderstanding about fairy tales
C. people try to modernize old fairy stories
D. there is more concern for children's fears nowadays
45. One of the reasons why some people are not in favor of fairy tales is that _______.
A. they are full of imagination
B. they just make up the stories which are far from the truth
C. they are not interesting
D. they make teachers of history difficult to teach

Sometimes life gets a little dull. What used to be fun and different becomes boring. That is the time to look for something new. It is the time for a big idea to get your mind off everyday life. So why not search for extraterrestrial (地球外的) intelligence? Or even better, why not get your computer to do it for you?
Over two million people have joined the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence（SETI）project. Based in California, the SETI project analyzes information taken from a giant radio telescope based in South America. Its task is to look for signals from outer space that might prove that life exists on other planets.
Processing this information is far too big a job for one computer. So the SETI project workers divide the work among volunteers who visit their website. Each computer gets some information to work out from the SETI network through the Internet. This process is often known as “meta-computing”.
It is a wonderful thought. You are sleeping, eating a meal or going out with friends. All this time, your computer is searching the stars for signs that might show something is out there trying to get in touch. Volunteers are proud of being involved in the SETI project. It shows that they understand the potential of computing. They know that it is more than just a way of working or playing games.
Meta-computing may also be creating intelligence as well as looking for it. This idea is based on the theory that human intelligence is created by the way in which different parts of the brain communicate with each other. As the saying goes, “The whole is more than the sum of its parts.” People who join the SETI project sometimes wonder whether their computer will become part of a huge network that has learned to think for itself.
According to the writer, meta-computing may be creating intelligence __________.
A. because human beings are intelligent B. because a computer works as the brain does
C. because of a network of many computers D. because of the number of computers
Which of the following shows the order in which the SETI network works?
A. Radio telescope→SETI website→Volunteers’ computers→SETI base
B. Radio telescope→SETI base→SETI website→Volunteers’ computers
C. SETI base→SETI website→Volunteers’ computers→Radio telescope
D. SETI base→Radio telescope→SETI website→Volunteers’ computers
The underlined word “it” in the last paragraph refers to________.
A. extra-terrestrial intelligence B. human intelligence
C. the SETI project D. meta-computing
The passage mainly tells us about __________.
A. a new way to work on the computer B. a new way to work and play games
C. a new way to search for life outside the earth D. a new way to make life interesting and different.

F. Jane Eyre (Charlotte Bront??)
Jane Eyre ranks as one of the greatest and most perennially popular works of English fiction. Although the poor but plucky heroine is outwardly of plain appearance, she possesses an indomitable spirit, a sharp wit and great courage. She is forced to battle against the exigencies of a cruel guardian, a harsh employer and a rigid social order. All of which circumscribe her life and position when she becomes governess to the daughter of the mysterious, sardonic and attractive Mr Rochester.
However, there is great kindness and warmth in this epic love story, which is set against the magnificent backdrop of the Yorkshire moors.

The days of the hunter are almost over in India. This is partly because there is practically nothing left to kill, and partly because some steps have been taken mainly by banning tiger-shooting to protect those animals which still survive.
Some people say that man is naturally a hunter. I disagree with this view. Surely our earliest forefathers, who at first possessed no weapons, spent their time digging for roots, and were no doubt themselves often hunted by meat-eating animals.
I believe the main reason why the modern hunter kills is that he thinks people will admire his courage in overpowering dangerous animals. Of course, there are some who truly believe that the killing is not really the important thing, and that the chief pleasure lies in the joy of the hunt and the beauty of the wild countryside. There are also those for whom hunting in fact offers a chance to prove themselves and risk death by design; these men go out after dangerous animals like tigers, even if they say they only do it to rid the countryside of a threat. I can respect reasons like these, but they are clearly different from the need to strengthen your high opinion of yourself.
The greatest big-game hunters expressed in their writings something of these finer motives. One of them wrote:
“You must properly respect what you are after and shoot it clearly and on the animal’s own territory (领地).You must fix forever in your mind all the wonders of that particular day. This is better than letting him grow a few years older to be attacked and wounded by his own son and eventually eaten, half alive, by other animals. Hunting is not a cruel and senseless killing — not if you respect the thing you kill, not if you kill to enrich your memories, not if you kill to feed your people.”
I can understand such beliefs, and can compare these hunters with those who hunted lions with spears and bravely caught them by the tail. But this is very different from many tiger-shoots I have seen, in which modern weapons were used. The so-called hunters fired from tall trees or from the backs of trained elephants. Such methods made tigers seem no more dangerous than rabbits.
There is little hunting in India now partly because ________.
A. it is dangerous to hunt there B. hunting is already out of date
C. hunters want to protect animals D. there are few animals left to hunt
The author thinks modern hunters kill mainly ________.
A. to make the countryside safe B. to earn people’s admiration
C. to gain power and influence D. to improve their health
What do we learn about the big-game hunters?
A. They hunt old animals. B. They mistreat animals.
C. They hunt for food. D. They hunt for money.
What is the author’s view on the tiger-shoots he has seen?
A. Modern hunters lack the courage to hunt face-to-face.
B. Modern hunters should use more advanced weapons.
C. Modern hunters like to hunt rabbits instead of tigers.
D. Modern hunters should put their safety first.

When we talk about a bad man, we like to call him a “wolf”. But is it really true that the wolf stands for devil and ugliness.

The wolf is a kind of special creature that can deeply understand 42.Each wolf serves its group with its heart and soul. A 43 wolf has little power, but a pack of wolves 44 nothing. All the wolves obey the rules. 45 they are defeated, they run away together. It is their teamwork 46 makes wolves powerful.
The wolves also have great self-respect and won't 47 to anyone. The writer, who wrote the book “The Wolf Totem”, 48 stole a one-month-old baby wolf and raised it very carefully. To his 49,he found the little wolf still wanted to go back with 50 wolves. He bit through the iron chain that limited him. The wolf was 51 and he never gave in, fighting 52 his death. The little wolf died as a glorious fighter.
I was shocked by this kind of 53:wolves are one of the most respected creatures on earth. I want everyone to look at wolves in a 54 way. They are our teachers. They show us how to survive and 55 in this not simple and dangerous world. Please honor the wolves, please honor all these heroes of nature!

It was not yet eleven o’clock when a boat crossed the river with a single passenger who had obtained his transportation at that unusual hour by promising an extra fare.
While the youth stood on the landing-place searching in his pockets for money, the ferryman lifted a lantern, by the aid of which, together with the newly risen moon, he took a very accurate survey of the stranger’s figure. He was a young man of barely eighteen years, evidently country bred（长大的）, and now, as it seemed, on his first visit to town. He was wearing a rough gray coat, which was in good shape, but which had seen many winters before this one. The garments under his coat were well constructed of leather, and fitted tightly to a pair of muscular legs; his stockings of blue yarn must have been the work of a mother or sister, and on his head was a three-cornered hat, which in its better days had sheltered the grayer head of the lad’s father. In his left hand was a walking stick, and his equipment was completed by a leather bag not so abundantly stocked as to inconvenience the strong shoulders on which it hung. Brown, curly hair, well-shaped-features, bright, cheerful eyes were nature’s gifts, and worth all that art could have done for his adornment(装饰).
The youth, whose name was Robin, paid the boatman, and then walked forward into the town with a light step, as if he had not already traveled more than thirty miles that day. As he walked, he surveyed his surroundings as eagerly as if he were entering London or Madrid, instead of the little metropolis（都市）of a New England colony.
What time of the year was it in this story?
A. Winter. B. Fall. C. Summer. D. Spring.
The boatman was willing to take Robin across the river because ________.
A. he was going to row across the river anyway
B. he saw that Robin was young and rich
C. he would give extra money
D. he felt sorry for him because Robin looked poor
The stockings that Robin wore were obviously _________.
A. well worn B. very expensive C. handmade D. much too big

The world’s astronomers came to their senses yesterday and approved a new definition of the word “planet” that would drop tiny Pluto from the club and relegate it instead to a lesser realm of “dwarf planets.” It was a welcome step away from a proposal that would have kept Pluto as a planet but meantime opened the door for dozens of small, icy bodies on the fringes of the solar system.
The important vote came after fierce debate at a meeting of the International Astronomical Union, which had been considering a proposal to define a planet as any object that orbits a star and is large enough for its own gravity to pull it into a spherical (球形的) shape. That definition was scientifically precise but led to results that offended common sense. An asteroid, a small moon, and another icy ball like Pluto would suddenly have risen to planet-hood, swelling the number of planets to 12, with many more icy rocks likely to qualify as more was learned about them.
Fortunately, the astronomers have now added another requirement to the definition. Planets must not only be large enough to be round, they must also have cleared out the neighborhood around their orbits. Pluto would not qualify — it orbits in a belt of icy debris on the edge of the solar system. Neither would an icy rock nicknamed Xena, which orbits in that same zone, nor Ceres, a big asteroid that marches in the company of other asteroids. Pluto’s moon, Charon, which had qualified under the first proposal, is also out of the running.
Pluto, with its small size and oddball orbit, should never have been deemed a planet in the first place. Henceforth there will be eight planets, at least three dwarf planets, and tens of thousands of “smaller solar system bodies,” like comets and asteroids. Our only regret is that the astronomers chose the name “dwarf planets” for Pluto’s new category instead of abandoning the word entirely when discussing these less-than-planetary bodies.
46. We can know from the passage that the new definition of planet __________.
A. has been welcomed by all walks of life
B. will kick the Pluto out of the planet group in the solar system
C. still makes the Pluto as a planet
D. will enlarge the number of planets in our solar system into permanently 12

B. some asteroids big enough to pull itself into a spherical shape will be regarded as planets.
C. the Pluto will be relegated to “dwarf planet”
D. there will be at least twelve or even more planets in the solar system.
50. We can infer from the article that the decision to apply new definition to “planet”________.

One of the best-known American writers is Samuel Langhorne Clemens, whose pen-name is Mark Twain. Born in 1835, Twain grew up in the Mississippi River town of Hannibal, Missouri. Like many other boys of his day, Twain dreamed of traveling on riverboats and of becoming a riverboat pilot(舵手) someday. He used his memories of the life of the river town in his two most famous books, Huckleberry Finn and Tom Sawyer.
As a young man Twain held many jobs. He was a printer, a gold miner, and for a long time, he was a riverboat pilot. During his pilot days, he adopted(采用) the name Mark Twain. This was something used by the boatmen to mean the water measured two fathoms, or twelve feet, which was deep enough for safe passage.
Finally, Twain became a famous writer. He traveled a great deal, writing and speaking, and was very popular both in the United States and in Europe.
Twain’s style of writing was simple and direct. Among the things he wrote about were superstitious(迷信的) people and people who were easily fooled. He used his unusual gift for humor to write about many things of importance.

Greece declared a national state of emergency on Saturday as scores of forest fires that have killed at least 46 people continued to burn out of control, leaving some villages trapped within walls of flames, cut off from firefighters.
Although most of the fires have been on the Peloponnesian Peninsula, some broke out on the outskirts of Athens on Saturday, forcing the evacuation of homes and closing a major road linking the capital to the main airport for several hours. The national fire brigade said that by evening it had brought those blazes under control, including one that came within about six miles of the city.
The country has been vulnerable to fire this summer because of drought and three consecutive heat waves that sent temperatures soaring over 100 degrees. More than 3,000 forest fires have destroyed thousands of acres of wooded areas since June; the earlier fires killed nine people. The latest spate of fires on the peninsula started Friday. Strong, hot winds have spread the flames.
Firefighters expect the death toll to rise, because they have not yet been able to search some areas that had been overrun by flames.
Hardest hit by the fires were a dozen small villages t around the town of Zaharo in the western peninsula, where at least 12 people, including some who may have been trying to flee by car, were killed. Scores of other residents, including elderly and disabled people, remained trapped in their homes, phoning in to local television and radio stations, crying for help.
Late Saturday, Mr. Karamanlis, Prime Minister of Greece appeared on national television and declared that he was mobilizing all of the country’s resources to control the fire. Mr. Karamanlis also suggested that the recent fires might have been purposely set. “So many fires sparked simultaneously in so many regions is no coincidence,” he said, “We will get to the bottom of this and punish those responsible.”
The overstretched national fire services are being helped by an estimated 6,000 soldiers mobilized for the operation. A fleet of water-dumping aircraft was expected from France, Germany and Norway, after Greece appealed to the European Union for “urgent assistance.”
51.The writer mainly wants to tell us that ______ in the passage.
A. firefighters battles fearlessly in Greece to control the fire
B. constant fires in Greece have caused great life and wealth lose
C. Greece is facing great danger as forest fires continue to break out
D. Greek government is investigating the cause of recent forest fires
52. We can know from the passage that ______.
A. Athens, capital of Greece was not threatened in the fire
B. Greek government did not take effective measures to control the fire
C. many people had to leave their homes to avoid fire
D. all people endangered by the fire have already got immediate and proper help
53. According to the passage, which of the following might not contribute to the recent forest fires in Greek?
A. Storm thunders in summer
B. Lack of rainfall
C. Extremely hot weather this summer
D. Hot and strong wind
54. We can learn from the passage that ______.
A. now the fire crisis in Greece has come to an end
B. assistance from EU members is expected to come to help Greece
C. firefighters in Greece so far can still manage the situation
D. the number of people who die in the fire is expected not to rise any more
55. Mr. Karamanlis believes the forest fires in Greece _______.
A. is a happening by chance B. is a natural disaster
C. might be caused by human on purpose D. is a punishment of nature

曹雪芹其实是被“火车”撞死的？
中文是世界上最古老的文字之一，英文是世界上应用最广的文字之一。中文和英文，很难说哪一个更好、更优美，只能通过比较，来分辨出两种语言文字各自的魅力。《红楼梦》就是这样一个不可多得的桥梁，《红楼梦》的英文译本，是最美的英文和最美的中文的对撞、比拼。比拼的结果，不是分出谁高谁低，在中文和英文的对撞里，它们魅力各显，激越飞扬，淋漓尽致。
1．从英文到中文
有这么一段英文：
Soon they had finished their tea and sat down to a collection of choice wine and delicacies.
上面这段英文翻译成中文，可以翻译成：他们很快喝完了茶，然后，坐下来尽享美食佳肴。——这样的中文译文，应该说是基本合格的。但是，实际上，这句英文是《红楼梦》一句话的翻译结果。我们看看曹雪芹的原话是什么：
须臾茶毕，早已设下杯盘，那美酒佳肴自不必说。（第八回）
上面这段英文是标准的英文，上下文衔接连贯，句式紧凑，而曹雪芹的原文呢，无疑是非常好的中文，是流水句式，生动鲜活，比起“基本合格”的中文来说，有天壤之别！
2．从中文到英文
第17回“后院墙下忽开一隙，得泉一脉，开沟仅尺许，灌入墙内，绕阶缘屋至前院，盘旋竹下而出。”
我们看这句《红楼梦》里的中文，第一小句8个字，中间小句4、5、4个字，结尾7、6个字，流水句，节奏感好，情景清新明快，画面感强，是典型的优美的中文。
我们看看英文翻译：
“A stream gushed through an opening at the foot of the garden wall into a channel barely a foot wide which ran to the foot of the rear terrace and thence round the side of the house to the front， where it meandered through the bamboos of the forecourt before finally disappearing through another opening in the surrounding wall.”
我突出句中的逗号，是为了让大家看清楚这是英文的一个大长句。这个英文长句，很气派，前半句竟然有40个词，后半句有19个词，蔚为大观，就像一列火车，呼啦啦拽起了那么多的车厢，轰然前行。中文习惯于短句子，读写听说，我们都会有这样的感觉，短句子会让我们更加便利，更加舒服。如果说英文是一列长长的火车，那么中文呢，就像个手推车，一人一车，翻山越岭，细步款款。
3．“火车中文”的尴尬
必须老老实实地承认，今天，我们已经写不出曹雪芹那样的中文了。近代以降，我们草草地放下了手推车，急急火火地上了火车，以为只有这样，我们的中文才能够“现代化”。今日的“中文”，叫做“现代汉语”，是在繁琐缜密的语法规则下制造出来的中文，是工业流水线上的产品一样的中文，中文成了“产品”，已经不是曹雪芹的“中文”了。沧海桑田，一言难尽……
有人说要恢复“曹雪芹式的中文”，要恢复传统中文的魅力，怎么办？我以为我们还是从培养鉴赏力开始吧，要知道“曹雪芹中文”的魅力到底在哪里，学会鉴赏她，欣赏她；要让人们知道，传统中文又“美”又“好”，她比现代汉语“美”在哪里，“好”在哪里。我们不能狭隘地认为语言文字仅仅是个工具，她不仅是工具，而且是媒介，是文明传承的介质，是人们获取精神美感和灵魂归属的介质。中文已经存在几千年了，现代汉语的语法准则才不过100多年的时间，用100多年的尺子，去规范有着几千年历史的语言文字，这把尺子太弱，太短，太贫乏无力了。
提高传统中文的鉴赏力，必须要克服的就是“火车中文”。
比如：尽管沙特外交大臣费萨尔２３日呼吁美国总统布什要求以色列和黎巴嫩真主党立即实现停火，但布什对此表示拒绝并反对以色列和黎巴嫩真主党立即停火。
上面这句话，前半句也是40个字，赫然展开，虽然气派，但是让人眩晕，我们阅读起来，也很吃力，习惯了读短句子的中国人，也许得憋着一口气才能读完这个“火车中文”。越到最后，气息越短，这样的阅读感受多么糟糕啊！中文上了“火车”，跟《红楼梦》渐行渐远，跟中国人愉悦的阅读感受渐行渐远。
再看“那则让她哭了整整一夜的她母亲昨晚因车祸受重伤而不治身亡的消息对她来说的确是个十分沉重的打击。”
这句话是“超级火车中文”，简直就是动车组，竟然包括了整整45个字，从现代汉语语法来看，没有任何问题，但面对这样一个让人崩溃的句子，现代汉语的语法却无能为力，这是多么荒谬的事情！在这里，“曹雪芹的中文”已经死了，是被“火车中文”撞死的。
品红楼，品的是曹雪芹的中文，这是一种审美的语言，让人感叹，也让人唏嘘不已——
今天的中文说“女孩”，曹雪芹中文则说“豆蔻”；
今天的中文说“女人”，曹雪芹中文则说“巾帼”；
今天的中文说“美女”，曹雪芹中文则说“红颜”；
今天的中文说“老人”，曹雪芹中文则说“白发”；
今天的中文说“海棠花在春天里静静地开放着”，曹雪芹中文则说“海棠春睡”；
今天的中文说“一个美女一生总是会受很多的痛苦和伤害，命运总是不理想”，曹雪芹中文则说“红颜薄命”。
今天的中文说“白色的眉毛”，曹雪芹中文则说“秋眉”；
……
13．本文题目“曹雪芹其实是被‘火车’撞死的？”，是什么意思？你觉得这个题目起得好不好，说说你的看法。
14．结合原文，说说作者认为的“曹雪芹式的中文”具有怎样的特点？文中所说的现代汉语有什么特点？
15．第26回，“宝玉无精打采的，只得依他。晃出了房门，在回廊上调弄了一会雀儿；出至院外，顺着沁芳溪看了一会金鱼。” 这段话在写宝玉春困打盹，袭人劝他出去走走，消消困。阅读了本文之后，你觉得这段话好在哪里？
16．该文是《莎士比亚眼里的林黛玉》一书中的一个章节，从上文来看，作者用莎士比亚来借代什么？用林黛玉借代什么？结合你的阅读经历，你能举出一个“曹雪芹式的中文”的例子吗？
