everyone. you dont need to care about those people who have beautiful houses with large gardens and swimming pools or those who have nice cars and a lot of money and so on. why? because those who have cars may want to walk on the country roads in their free time.in fact, happiness is always around you if you put your heart into it. when you are in trouble at school, you friends will help you; when you work hard at your lessons, your parents are always taking good care of your life and your health; when you get success, your friends will say congratulations to you; when you do something wrong, people around you will help you to correct it. and when you do something good to others, you will feel happy, too. all these are your happiness. if you notice a bit of them, you can see that happiness is always around you.happiness is not the same as money. it is a feeling of your heart. when you are poor, you can also say you are very happy, because you have something else that cant be bought with money. when you meet with difficulties, you can say loudly you are very happy, because you have more chances to challenge yourself. so you cannot always say you are poor and you have bad luck. as the saying goes, life is like a revolving(旋转的) door: when it closes, it also opens. if you take every chance you get, you can be a happy and lucky person.41. what kind of people can enjoy happiness according the passage?a. only those who have cars. b. only those who have their own happiness.c. only those who have big houses. d. only those who have a lot of money.42 when you fall down in a pe class, both your teacher and your classmates will _.a. laugh at you b. play jokes on you c. quarrel with you d. help you up43. what will your friends say to you when you make great progress?a. oh, so do i. b. congratulations! c. good luck! d. its just so-so.44. which of the following is not true according to the passage?a. people who have cars would never like to walk in the open air.b. you can get help from others when you make mistakes.c. you can still be a happy person even if you have little money.d. happiness is always around you though difficulties come towards you.45. which of the following is this passage about?a. bad luck. b. good luck. c. happiness. d. lifebsometimes, the simplest ideas are the best. for example, to absorb heat from the sun to heat water, you need large, flat, black surfaces. one way to do that is to build those surfaces specially, on the roofs of buildings. but why go to all that trouble when cities are rub of black surfaces already, in the form of asphalt （柏油） roads?ten years ago, this thought came into the mind of arian de bondt, a dutch engineer. he finally persuaded his boss to follow it up. the result is that their building is now heated in winter and cooled in summer by a system that relies on the surface of the road outside. the heat-collector is a system of connected water pipes. most of them ran from one side of the street to the other, just under the asphalt road. some, however, dive deep into the ground. when the street surface gets hot in summer, water pumped through the pipes picks up this heat and takes it underground through one of the diving pipes. at a depth of 100 metres lies a natural aquifer （蓄水层） into which several heat exchangers （交换器） have been built. the hot water from the street runs through these exchangers, warning the ground-water, before returning to the surface through another pipe. the aquifer is thus used as a heat store. in winter, the working system is changed slightly. water is pumped through the heat exchangers to pick up the heat stored during summer. this water goes into the building and is used to warm the place up. after performing that task, it is pumped under the asphalt and its remaining heat keeps the road free of snow and ice. 46. which of the following is true according to the first two paragraphs?a. arian de bondt got his idea from his boss. b. large, flat, black surfaces need to be built in cities. c. the dutch engineers system has been widely used. d. heat can also be collected from asphalt roads. 47. for what purpose are the diving pipes used?a. to absorb heat from the sun. b. to store heat for future use. c. to turn solar energy into heat energy. d. to carry heat down below the surface. 48. from the last paragraph we can learn that _a. some pipes have to be re-arranged in winterb. the system can do more than warming up the buildingc. the exchangers will pick up heat from the street surfaced. less heat may be collected in winter than in summercthe desire for a better life is sometimes so big that it makes people leave their countries and their families and work in other countries. they know that they will have to face difficult moments，that they wont be able to communicate with the persons around them，and that maybe they will have to work in illegal conditions to get the money they need for their families，but they all take these chances and they hope they will succeed.on the other hand，there are people who immigrate(移民)just for the sake of the people they love. they leave their families to make other families with the people they love. women go to meet their men who have chosen other countries to start a new life，even if they miss their families and friends. maybe they dont have a place to work but they are able to wait to see what destiny(命运) has for them.there are also the cases of the people who are forced to leave their countries because of a war which threatens their lives. theyd rather start from the very beginning again than risk putting their lives in danger.when well-developed countries see that their homeland is being “invaded” by lots of immigrants，they set new laws that make immigration harder. as a result of this，many illegal immigrants cross the borders and are eager to work，although they are paid only half the amount of money native workers receive for the same kind of job.the opinions of the local people are varied and they range from total refusal to complete acceptance. immigrants in countries which have large communities of them are fighting for the recognition of their social rights and for equal treatment.many immigrants have managed to be fully accepted by the communities where they live and have managed to change the opinions of the local people about them.49which of the following reasons for immigration is not mentioned in the passage?aescaping from a war. bbeing reunited with the beloved people.cseeking a better life. dstudying a foreign language.50whats the usual response to immigrants in welldeveloped countries?ato accept them. bto put limitations on immigration.cto refuse them. dto encourage them.51which of the following statements is not true according to the passage?asome immigrants are still fighting for their rights now.bnative people usually earn more money than illegal immigrants.cimmigrants are never accepted no matter how hard they try.dthe local people have different attitudes toward immigrants.52the passage implies that _.aculture shock causes great anxiety in some immigrantsbillegal immigrants cause great damage to developed countriescstricter laws should be set to prevent immigrationdmany people go to other countries with great determinationdwhen i asked my daughter which item she would keep; the phone, the car, the cooker, the computer, the tv, or her boyfriend, she said“the phone”. personally, i could do without the phone entirely, which makes me unusual, because the telephone is changing our lives more than any other piece of technology. point 1 the telephone creates the need to communicate, in the same way that more roads create more traffic. my daughter comes home from school at 4:00 pm and then spends an hour on the phone talking to the very people she has been at school with all day. if the phone did not exist, would she have anything to talk about? point 2 the mobile phone means that we are never alone. “the mobile saved my life,”says crystal johnstone. she had an accident in her volvo on the a45 between otley and skipton. trapped inside, she managed to make the call that brought the ambulance(救护车) to her rescue. point 3 the mobile removes our secret. it allows marketing manager of haba deutsch, carl nicolaisen, to ring his sales staff all round the world at and time of day to ask where they are, where they are going, and how their last meeting went. point 4 the telephone separates us. antonella bramante in rome says, “we worked in separate offices but i could see him through the window. it was easy to get his number. we were so nearbut we didnt meet for the first two weeks!” point 5 the telephone allows us to reach out beyond our own lives. today we can talk to several complete strangers simultaneously ( 同时地) on chat lines (at least my daughter does. i wouldnt know what to talk about). we can talk across the world. we can even talk to astronauts (if you know any) while theyre space-walking. and, with the phone line hooked up to the computer, we can access(进入) the internet, the biggest library on earth. 53. how do you understand point 1 the telephone creates the need to communicate? a. people dont communicate without telephone. b. people communicate because of the creating of the telephone. c. people communicate more since telephone has been created. d. people communicate more because of more traffic. 54. which of the following best shows peoples attitude towards mobile phones? a. mobile phones help people deal with the emergency. b. mobile phones bring convenience as well little secret to people. c. mobile phones are so important and should be encouraged. d. mobile phones are part of peoples life. 55. which points do you think support the idea that phones improve peoples life? a. point 1. b. point2. c. point3. d. point 4. e. point 5.a. c, d b. a, e c. a, c d. b, e 56. the best heading for the passage is . a. the power of phone b. kinds of phone c. how to use phones d. advantage of phoneseohenry，born in greensboro，north carolina，was the pen name of william sydney porter. his father，algernon sidney porter，was a physician. when william
