what we desire We can buy lottery tickets enter contests or spend hours building a business or invest in the stock market We are sure that when we have plenty of money we will be happy While having some money does have an impact on our level of happiness having a lot of money does not援 It is reported that Americans whose income goes from 20 000 a year to 50 000 a year are more likely to be happy But beyond 50 000 happiness does not increase as salaries go up It is because we are never satisfied Catherine Sanderson a psychology professor at Amherst College says 野We always think if we just had a little more money we爷d be happier But when we get there we are not 冶 Daniel Gilbert a psychology professor at Harvard notes 野The more you make the more you want The more you have the less it brings you joy We incorrectly assume we爷ll get more pleasure from more and we don爷t 冶 The things money can buy don爷t make you happy either A lot of research suggests that you won爷t find the 野good life冶 buying expensive野toys冶 You finally buy that BMW you爷ve always wanted and it soon loses its appeal Then instead of wondering if a new car is what really makes you happy you decide you just need a different new car援 It is an endless cycle To really be happy you need to understand what makes you happy in the first place One secret of happiness is people Surveys have found that people need people Those who have five or more close friends are 50 more likely to describe themselves as 野very happy冶 Good relationships have a far greater effect on happiness than larger salary Andrew Oswald an economist at England爷s University of Warwick says 野If you are looking for happiness in life find the right husband or wife rather than trying to double your salary 冶 So invest your time and energy in people援 The reward is much bigger in terms of happiness 31 In Paragraph 1 the author intends to tell us the 野belief冶 that A we are unhappy because we often lack money B people can buy what they want if they have enough money C more money will make one爷s dreams come true D happiness will result from more money 32 Which of the following statements would the author agree to A Having some money brings happiness to some degree B The more money one earns the sadder one becomes C Buying expensive things will surely bring pleasure D We get nothing from buying expensive things we want 33 Why does happiness not increase with pay rises A Most of us have a psychological problem B People are not content with what they get C It is human nature to be unhappy D Happiness has nothing to do with money 34 In order to find happiness we should A always make new friendsB take no notice of our salaries C focus on good relationshipsD invest our money in our friend 英语试题卷第 4 页 渊共 8 页冤 B Rising levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere are a major cause of climate change and now a new study has confirmed that atmospheric CO2is also affecting the ocean chemistry and potentially harming sea life Montana State University scientist Robert Dore has been researching the water in the Pacific Ocean for almost two decades 野We爷ve been going to the same spot in the Pacific Ocean and we try and characterize long term change in the open ocean environment And one of the key things that we measure is CO2levels And We爷ve been able to record this increasing quantity of atmospheric CO2into the ocean 冶Scientists expected that as atmospheric CO2increased more and more of the carbon dioxide would be absorbed into the ocean affecting the chemical balance of the sea water with a potentially harmful impact on shellfish and coral in particular 野As carbon dioxide dissolves in the water or seawater in this case it forms a weak acid carbonic acid 冶 Dore explains 野And therefore as the concentration of CO2in the atmosphere goes up and that exchanges with the surface seawater it drives the pH down and makes it more acidic 冶 The seawater samples Dore and his colleagues have analyzed confirm what the theory predicts The effect was particular striking at about 250 meters down and again at 500 meters Dore and his colleagues came up with two possible explanations It could be that surface water picked up CO2and then moved to those depths Or there could be a biological explanation 野It爷s important to realize that the oceans are really becoming acidic And it can have negative impacts on a whole variety of sea life from fish to coral It爷s potentially catastrophic 冶 35 What can be the best title of the passage A Sea Life Facing DangerB Scientist Researching Seawater C Oceans Becoming More AcidicD Climate Change Affecting Seawater 36 With the increase of atmospheric CO2袁 A more corals will appear in the sea B the surface water is becoming warmer C the chemical balance of the seawater is affected D the pH of the ocean out here has been increasing 37 Which of the following shows the process of the impact of atmospheric CO2on sea life a Sea life is endangered b CO2goes into the surface water c The ocean chemistry is affected d CO2levels in the atmosphere go up e CO2decreases the pH and makes the seawater more acidic A abcdeB dbceaC aebcdD edcba 38 Scientist Robert Dore came to the conclusion based on A his research and analysisB the expectation of other scientists C some former theoryD a major cause of climate change C Rockwatch 要 The Best Club on Earth If you

Even while in a deep sleep people can still learn brand new information Sleepers soak in new associations between smells and sounds knowledge that lingers 逗留 into the next waking day researchers report online August 26 in Nature Neuroscience The new study is the first to show that entirely new information can get into the sleeping mind says Anat Arzi of the Weizmann Institute of Science in Israel 野The brain is not passive while you sleep It爷s quite active You can do quite a lot of things while you are asleep 冶 But the results don爷t mean that Spanish vocabulary tapes now have a place on the nightstand Researchers have tried but largely failed to find evidence that complicated information such as new pairs of words can make its way into the brain during sleep Instead of trying to teach people something complicated like a new language Arzi and her colleagues relied on the sense of smell and hearing As anyone who has walked by a dumpster渊垃 圾车冤 in July knows smells can cause a nose jerk reaction Catching a bad smell automatically makes people inhale渊吸气冤less reducing the size of the inhale But a scent of fresh bread causes a long deep inhale Arzi and her team took advantage of this reaction for their experiment As people slept in the laboratory the researchers delivered pleasant scent such as shampoo As this nice smell got into the sleepers爷 noses the researchers played a particular music Later a disgusting smell such as rotten fish or meat was paired with a different music Neither the smell nor the sound woke people up After just four exposures to the smell music pair during a single night the sleepers started to automatically respond to the tones without the accompanying smells taking in bigger breaths when the shampoo associated tone played and smaller breaths when played the sound linked to the rotten fish smell This new learned association lingered into the next waking day too Even though the sleepers had no idea they had been exposed to smells or sounds their behavior proved that their brain had 英语试题卷第 6 页 渊共 8 页冤 actually learned something during sleep As before the shampoo sound stimulated a long deep inhale while the rotten fish tone caused more shallow breaths 43 We can infer from the passage that A while sleeping we can learn whatever we want to learn B we will increase the size of inhale if we catch a pleasant smell C the knowledge we learned while sleeping will be forgotten in the next waken day D when walking by a bakery the fresh bread will cause a nose jerk reaction 44 What is Paragraph 3 mainly about A One can爷t acquire complicated knowledge during the sleeping hours B Spanish vocabulary tapes now have a place on the nightstand C Researchers have tried to find evidence that the new words can be learned during sleep D Complicated information can make its way into the brain during sleep 45 How do Arzi and her team do their research By A giving instructionsB analyzing human brains C following the guides of othersD doing experiments 46 In which part of a website may this passage most likely appear A Culture B Science C History D Economy E Art museums are places where people can learn about various cultures The increasingly popular 野design museums冶 that are opening today however perform quite a different role Unlike most art museums the design museum shows objects that are easily found by the general public These museums sometimes even place things like fridges and washing machines in the center of the hall People have argued that design museums are often made use of as advertisements for new industrial technology But their role is not simply a matter of sales要it is the honoring of excellently invented products The difference between the window of a department store and the showcase in a design museum is that the first tries to sell you something while the second tells you the success of a sale One advantage of design museums is that they are places where people feel familiar with the exhibits Unlike the average art museum visitors design museum visitors seldom feel frightened or puzzled This is partly because design museums clearly show how and why mass produced products work and look as they do and how design has improved the quality of our lives Art museum exhibits on the other hand would most probably fill visitors with a feeling that there is something between their understanding In recent years several new design museums have opened their door Each of these museums has tried to satisfy the public爷s growing interest in the field with new ideas London爷s Design Museum for example shows a collection of mass produced objects from Zippo lighters to electric typewriters to a group of Italian fish tins The choices open to design museums seem far less strict than those to art museums and visitors may also sense the humorous part of our society while walking around such exhibits as interesting and unusually attractive toys collected in our everyday life 47 Showcases in design museums are different from store windows because they A show more technologically advanced productsB help increase the sales of products C show why the products have sold wellD attract more people than store windows do 英语试题卷第 7 页 渊共 8 页冤 48 The author believes that most design museum visitors A do not admire mass produced productsB are puzzled with technological exhibits C dislike exhibits in art museumsD know the exhibits very well 49 The choices open to design museums A are not as strict as those to art museumsB are not aimed to interest the public C may fail to bring some pleasure to visitorsD often contain precious exhibits 50 The best title for this passage is 野 冶 A The Forms of Design MuseumsB The Exhibits of Design Museums C The Nature of Design MuseumsD The Choices Open to Design Museums 第二节 共 5 小题 每小题 2 分 满分 10 分冤 根椐对话内容袁从对话后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项袁并在答题卡上将该项涂黑遥 选项中有两项多余选项遥 要 Remember Jack from our old school 要51 要 I met him at the checkout in the supermarket
