Can you slow down now?Boy: Give me a big hug.The girl gave him a big hug. Girl: Now can you slow down? Boy: Can you take off my helmet and put it on? Its uncomfortable and itsbothering me while I drive. Then next day, there was a story in the newspaper: a motorcycle had crashed into a building because its brakes were broken. There were two people on the motorcycle, of whom one died, and the other had survivedThe guy knew that the brakes were broken. He didnt want to let the girl know, because he knew that the girl would have gotten scared. Instead, he was told the last time that she loved him, got a hug from her, put his helmet on her so that she can live, and died himselfOnce in a while, right in the middle of an ordinary life, love gives us a fairytale.21.

No man could really touch the things around him and make them turn into gold. It could be wonderful if we could turn things into gold as in the story. But the “magic touch”, the life without work is seldom part of life in an everyday world.It costs money to do the things you want to do and to buy the things you want to buy. In order to give a present for a birthday you must first earn the money before you have any to spend. Your home, your food, and your clothes are basic needs. Everyone needs these three things. Many other things we want are really luxuries. Basic needs and luxuries together form our standard (标准) of living. Many of the things we feel we “need” in our homes would be regarded as luxuries to other people in other parts of the world.Have you ever helped plan a family budget (预算)? If you know you have to balance the whole money the family have earned, you should pay for gas, electricity, water and your house. You should also plan for holidays and other special uses. At the same time you should have some of your money to be saved.How people earn their money and how they spend their money is an important aspect of the study of economics.24. _ in the story of King Midas. A. Nobody could turn things into goldB. Things could be turned into gold C. Nothing could be turned into goldD. No man could really touch gold25. The “magic touch” in the sentence means _. A. a special touchB. hard work C. making a living by hard workD. living a rich life without doing any work26. You can do what you want to do by first _. A. earning the money you needB. spending your money C. buying everything you wantD. giving presents to others27. You should _ when you are planning your family budget. A. spend all your moneyB. save some of your money C. earn a lot moneyD. pay for everythingCIts 2035. You have a job, a family and youre about 40 years old. Welcome to your future life. Getting ready for work, you pause in front of the mirror, “Turn red,” you say. Your shirt changes from sky blue to deep red. Tiny preprogrammed electronic are rearranged in your shirt to change its color. Looking into the mirror, you find it hard to believe that you are 40. You look much younger. With amazing advances in medicine, people in your generation may live to be 150 years old. Youre not even middle-aged. As you go into the kitchen and prepare to pour your breakfast cereal into a bowl, you hear: “To lose weight, you shouldnt eat that,” from your shoes. They read the tiny electronic code on the cereal box to find out the nutrition details. You decide to listen to your shoes. “Kitchen, what can I have for breakfast?” A list of possible foods appear on the counter as kitchen checks its food supplies. “Ready for your trip to space. You ask your son and daughter.” In 2005 only specially trained astronauts went into spaceand very few of them. Today anyone can go to space for day trips or longer vacation. Your best friend even works in space. Handing your children three strawberries each, you add, “The doctor said you need these for space travel.” Thanks to medical advances, vaccination shots are a thing of the past. Ordinary foods contain specific vaccines. With the berries in their mouths, the kids head for the front door. Its time for you to go to work. Your car checks your fingerprints and unlocks the doors. “My office. Autopilot,” you command. Your car drives itself down the road and moves smoothly into traffic on the highway. You sit back and unroll your e-newspaper. The latest news downloads and fills the viewer. Looking through the pages, you watch the news as video films rather than read it. 28. What changes the color of your shirt? A. The mirror.B. The shirt itself.C. The counter.D. The medicine.29. How do the shoes know that you shouldnt eat the breakfast cereal? A. By pouring the breakfast into a bowl. B. By listening to the doctors advice. C. By testing the food supplies in the kitchen. D. By checking the nutrition details of the food. 30. The strawberries the children eat serve as _. A. breakfastB. lunchC. vaccinesD. nutrition31. How is the text organized? A. In order of time.B. In order of frequency. C. In order of preference.D. In order of importance.DPerhaps you think you could easily add to your happiness with more money. Strange as it may seem, if youre unsatisfied, the issue is not a lack of means to meet your desires but a lack of desiresnot that you cannot satisfy your tastes but that you dont have enough tastes.Real riches consist of well-developed and hearty capacities(能力) to enjoy life. Most people are already swamped(淹没) with things. They eat, wear, go and talk too much. They live in too big a house with too many rooms, yet their house of life is a hut.Your house of life ought to be a mansion(豪宅), a royal place. Every new taste, every additional interest, every fresh enthusiasm adds a room. Here are several rooms your house of life should have.Art should be a desire for you to develop simply because the world is full of beautiful things. If you only understood how to enjoy them and feed your spirit on them, they would make you as happy as to find plenty of ham and eggs when youre hungry.Literature, classic literature, is a beautiful, richly furnished room where you might find many an hour of rest and refreshment. To gain that love would go toward making you a rich person, for a rich person is not someone who has a library but who likes a library.Music like Mozarts and Bachs shouldnt be absent. Real riches are of the spirit. When youve brought that spirit up to where classical music feeds it and make you a little drunk, you have increased your thrills and bettered them. And life is a matter of thrills.Sports, without which you remain poor, mean a lot in life. No matter who you are, you would be more human, and your house of life would be better supported against the bad days, if you could, and did, play a bit.Whatever rooms you might add to your house of life, the secret of enjoying life is to keep adding.32. The author intends to tell us that _.A. true happiness lies in achieving wealth by fair meansB. big houses are peoples most valued possessionsC. big houses can in a sense bring richness of lifeD. true happiness comes from spiritual riches33. The underlined sentence in the second paragraph probably implies that _.A. however materially rich, they never seem to be satisfiedB. however materially rich, they remain spiritually poorC. though their house is big, they prefer a simple lifeD. though their house is big, it seems to be a cage34. It can be learned from the passage that _.A. more money brings more happinessB. art is needed to make your house beautifulC. literature can enrich your spiritual lifeD. sports contribute mainly to your physical fitness35. What would be the best title for the passage? A. House of LifeB. Secret of Wealth C. Rest and RefreshmentD. Interest and Enthusiasm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。How to Love Your ParentsEven if you think that your parents are mean-spirited at times, loving your parents is a normal and fulfilling part of life. You love them for the fact that they created you, raised you, and are in part a source of who you are. Here are some ways to love your parents. 36 A gentle “good morning” and “I love you” will warm a coldest heart. Remember that they brought you into this world. Without your parents, you might still wander at an unknown corner in an unknown world.Respect them more and cherish these moments. You can use these moments to learn from them for when youre off on your own. Its OK to get angry but angry actions dont help you or your parents. Act calmly, cool off, journal about your feelings, or talk to a friend. 37 Obey their requests. It will make your attitude better and earn you more respect from them. It may seem like you are going through hell when you dont get what you want or you have to clean. However, you had better remember they keep a roof over your head when its cold, raining, snowing, or too hot. Understand that parents are human beings and make mistakes. 38 Since you can forgive your friends, why not forgive your parents?Keep company with them. Do things with parents like watching TV, or go somewhere with them. 39 Listen to their old stories and learn from them. You will find that they are your teachers in this way or another.Some people simply may not be able to love their parents. 40 Seek help if you are being abused in any way.
