those western festivals.A survey conducted recently by showed that among the 18,222 people surveyed 63.90% said celebrating Christmas is just another way of enjoying life，nothing serious while 17.85% surveyed considered the festival as a fashion act，showing they were not “out”These two parts clearly express the general opinion of the young.10.45% people involved said the celebration of a religious western festival with so much enthusiasm is absolutely unbelievable admire of foreign goodness.Only 7.80% of people consider Christmas as a kind of festival colonization(殖民)The arising of celebrating foreign festivals clearly has something to do with the advancement of Chinas economy.In my point of view，Christmas and other festivals celebrated in China have difference from the origin.They have lost their religious background and turned into a big occasion to have fun and enjoy life.Shop owners pockets are filled，the publics hunger for happiness is filled，and that is enough.Foreign festivals in China are more like carnivals giving people pleasure and enjoyment.The crisis of traditional Chinese festivals that are losing their attraction may be linked to the culture tradition and background of the festivals.Most Chinese festival culture is related more or less to real life.“The country is based on its people while the people are relied on their food.”But the western culture shows much of romance.Some festivals have their religious background while others have much to do with culture and people.At this point，food seems to be too ordinary.Flowers and chocolates are more welcomed.Foreign festivals in China are celebrated for fun.They give people opportunities to relax and celebrate，to show appreciation and gratefulness.The acceptance of foreign festivals generally depends on the openness of the public，the familiarity with the western culture，and most importantly，on peoples economic situation.21From the survey we know that among the people surveyed .Amany people are worried that traditional Chinese festivals will disappear soonBmost think little of celebrating foreign festivalsChalf think celebrating foreign festivals makes people not go out of fashionDsome think it a sign of being after foreign goodness to celebrate foreign festivals答案D解析细节理解题。根据文章第二段倒数第二句“10.45% people involved said the celebration of a religious western festival with so much enthusiasm is

became national in the 1960s.Children enter their frogs in the jumping contest during National Tom Sawyer Days.Theres also a fence painting contest to see who can paint the fastest.The idea for this

walk by，he makes them believe that its fun to paint，and they join in the “fun”By the end of the day，the fence has three coats of paint!Although the story of Tom Sawyer is a fiction，its based on

country”Besides polluting the air and overcrowding the cities，cars are involved in more than half the disastrous(灾难性) accidents，and they contribute to heart disease “because we dont walk anywhere anymore，” said Dr.H.Richard Weinerman，professor of medicine and public health.Speaking of many of these manmade dangers to the automobile，Arthur WGalston，professor of biology，said it was possible to make a keroseneburning turbine car that would “lessen(减少) smog by a very large factor”But he expressed doubt whether Americans were willing to give up moving about the countryside at 90 miles an hour in a large vehicle(车辆)“America seems wedded to the motor carevery family has to have at least two，and one has to be a convertible(敞篷汽车) with 300 horsepower，” professor Galston continued.“Is this the way of life that we choose because we treasure these values？”For Professor Sears，part of the blame lies with “a society that regards profit(赢利) as a supreme value，under the illusion(错误的观念) that anything thats technically possible is，therefore，morally justified(正当的)”Professor Sears also called the countrys dependence on its modern automobiles “terrible economics” because of the large horsepower used simply “moving one individual to work”But he admitted that Americans have painted themselves into a corner by allowing the national economy to become so dependent on the automobile industry.“The solution，” Dr.Weinerman said，“is not to find a less dangerous fuel but a different system of innercity transportation.Because of the increasing use of cars，public transportation has been allowed to wither(衰弱) and grow worse，so that if you cant walk to where you want to go，you have to have a car in most cities，” he declared.This，in turn，Dr.Weinerman contended，is responsible for the “arteriosclerosis(动脉硬化)” of public roads，for the pollution of the inner city and for the middleclass movement to the suburbs.32The main idea of the passage is that .AAmericans are fond of their carsBpublic transportation in America is welldevelopedCAmerican cars are too fastDautomobiles endanger health答案D解析主旨大意题。文章第一段第一句指出，三位耶鲁大学的教授一致认为汽车是“本国公共健康的头号大敌”，随后作者又指明汽车的使用会污染空气、导致交通事故、引发心脏病等，故答案为D项。33It can be inferred from the passage that .Apeople are more interested in fast automobiles than in their healthBAmericans feel more closely tied to their cars than to their wivesCKeroseneburning engines would pollute the environment more than gasolineburning engines doDkeroseneburning cars would go faster than gasolinepowered cars答案A解析推理判断题。文章第二段前两句话指出人类有必要生产煤油汽车，但又提出疑问：人类是否愿意放弃在乡间以每小时90英里的速度高速行使的乐趣？可见，人们对高速行驶的兴趣大于对健康的关心，故A项为最佳答案。B项文中未提及；C、D两项明显与文章第二段第一、二句相矛盾。根据这两句话可以推断：煤油汽车对空气的污染小，但速度比汽油汽车要慢。34In Paragraph 3，Professor Sears implies that .Atechnology is always good for peopleBtechnology is not always good for peopleCfinancial profit is more important than technology advancementDAmerican people care about both environment pollution and technological development答案C解析推理判断题。根据第三段Professor Sears的话可知：美国人之所以如此依赖汽车，部分原因是因为他们生活在一个以盈利为最终目的的社会。他们往往会产生这样一种幻觉：任何技术上可能的事情在道德上也是正确的。由此，可以推断：美国人把经济利益看得高于一切。因此C项符合此意。35According to Dr.Weinerman，the solution is that .Apublic transportation should be improvedBpeople should get rid of their cars and take the bus to workCone family should own just one carDa fuel less dangerous than gasoline must be found答案A解析细节理解题。文章最后一段提到：Dr.Weinermen认为：解决这一问题的关键不是寻找一种污染小的燃料，而是建立一套完全不同的市内交通体系。因为汽车的增多，公共交通已经变得越来越糟糕。除了开车，你无法到你想去的地方，因此，解决这个问题的办法在于改善市内公共交通系统，使人们不再过多地依赖他们的汽车，因此A项正确。第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Are you truly happy？Do you ever know what it means to be happy and what it takes to achieve happiness？ 36 The following are a few tips that I follow to create happiness in my life.Make a plan for attaining goals that you believe will make you happy.Your moods will very likely increase if you are going after something you value.Surround yourself with happy people.It is easy to begin to think negatively when you are surrounded by people who think that way. 37 When something goes wrong，try to figure out a solution instead of being absorbed in self pity.Truly happy people don t allow setbacks to affect their mood because they know that with a little thought they can turn the circumstances back to their favor. 38 These few minutes will give you the opportunity to focus on the positive things in your life and will lead you to continuous happiness. 39 Whether you treat yourself to lunch，take a long，relaxing bath or simply spend a few extra minutes on your appearance，you will be subconsciously(下意识地) putting yourself in a better mood.Finding the humor in situations can also lead to happiness.Find a way to make light of a situation that would otherwise make you happy.Keeping healthy is another way to achieve happiness. 40 AWhat makes one person happy may be very different from what makes someone else happy.BOn the contrary，if you are around people who are happy，their emotional state will be infectious.CBeing overweight or not eating nutritious foods can have a negative effect on your mood.DThese are important questions for anyone who is seeking happiness to ask themselves.ESpend a few minutes each day thinking about the things that make you happy.FThere are some tips in life that lead to happiness.GIt s also important to take some time each day to do
