character第二部分：阅读理解（第一节20小题，第二节5小题，每小题2分，共50分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（a、b、c和d）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。ayou hear the comment all the time: the u.s. economy looks good by figures, but it doesnt feel good. why doesnt ever-greater wealth promote ever-greater happiness? it is a question that dates at least to the appearance in 1958 of the wealthy society by john kenneth galbraith, who died recently at 97.the wealthy society is a modern classic because it helped describe a new moment in the human condition. for most of history, “hunger, sickness, and cold” threatened nearly everyone, galbraith wrote. “poverty (贫穷) was found everywhere in that world. obviously it is not of ours.” after world war ii, the fear of another great depression gave way to an economic growth. in the 1930s unemployment had averaged 18.2 percent; in the 1950s it was 4.5 percent.to galbraith, materialism (物质主义) had gone mad and would cause discontent. through advertising, companies conditioned consumers to buy things they didnt really want or need. because so much spending was artificial, it wouldbe unsatisfying. meanwhile, government spending that would make everyone better off was being cut down because people wrongly considered government only as “a necessary bad.”its often said that only the rich are getting ahead; everyone else isstanding still or falling behind. well, there are many undeserving rich overpaid chief managers, for instance. but over any meaningful period, most peoples incomes are increasing. from 1995 to 2004, people feel “squeezed” because their rising incomes often dont satisfy their rising wants for bigger homes, more health care, more education, and faster internet connections.the other great disappointment is that it has not got rid of insecurity. people regard job stability as part of their standard of living. as company unemployment increased, that part has gradually become weaker. more workers fear theyve become “the disposable american,” as louis uchitelle puts it in his book by the same name.because so much previous suffering and social conflict resulted from poverty, the arrival of widespread wealth suggested utopian (乌托邦式的) possibilities. up to a point, wealth succeeds. there is much less physical suffering than before. people are better off. unfortunately, wealth also creates new complaints.advanced societies need economic growth to satisfy the multiplying wants of their citizens. but the search for growth cause new anxieties and economic conflicts that disturb the social order. wealth sets free the individual, promising that everyone can choose a unique way to self-accomplishment. but the promise is so unreasonable that it leads to many disappointments and sometimes inspires choices that have anti-social consequences, including family breakdown. figures indicate that happiness has not risen with incomes.should we be surprised? not really. weve simply confirmed an old truth: the seeking of wealth does not always end with happiness.41.the wealthy society is a book _. a. about poverty in the past b. written by louis uchitellec. indicating that people are becoming worse offd. about why happiness does not rise with wealth 42.according to galbraith, people feel discontented because _. a. materialism has run wild in modern society b. they are in fear of another great depression c. public spending hasnt been cut down as expected d. the government has proved to be necessary but ugly43.why do people feel“squeezed”when their average income rises considerably? a. they think there are too many overpaid rich.b. there is more unemployment in modern society.c. their material demands go faster than their earnings.d. health care and educational cost have somehow gone out of control.44.what does louis uchitelle mean by “the disposable american” ? a. people with a stable job.b. workers who no longer have secure jobs.c. those who see job stability as part of their living standard.d. people who have a sense of security because of their rising incomes.45.what has wealth brought to american society? a. stability and security.b. materialism and content.c. a sense of self-accomplishment.d. new anxiety, conflicts and complaints.b driving to a friends house on a recent evening, i was attracted by the sight of the full moon rising just above my friends rooftop. i stopped to watch it for a few moments, thinking about what a pity it is that most city people - myself included - usually miss sights like this because we spend most of our lives indoors. my friend had also seen it. he grew up living in a forest in europe, and the moon meant a lot to him then. it had touched much of his life. i know the feeling. last december i took my seven-year-old daughter to the mountainous jungle of northern india with some friends. we stayed in a forest rest house with no electricity or running hot water. our group had campfires outside every night, and indoors when it was too cold outside. the moon grew to its fullest during our trip. between me and the high mountains lay three or four valleys. not a light shone in them and not a sound could be heard. it was one of the quietest places i have ever known, a bottomless well of silence. and above me was the full moon, which struck me deeply. today our lives are filled with glass, metal, plastic and fiber-glass. we have television,cell phones, pagers, electricity, heaters and ovens and air-conditioners, cars, computers. struggling through traffic that evening at the end of a tiring day, most of it spent indoors, i thought, “before long, i would like to live in a small cottage. there i will grow vegetables and read books and walk in the mountains. and perhaps write, but not in anger. i may become an old man there, and wear the bottoms of my trousers rolled and measure out my life in coffee spoons. but i will be able to walk outside on a cold silent night and touched the moon.”46. the best title for the passage would be _.a. touched by the moon b. the pleasures of modern lifec. a bottomless well of silenced. break away from modern life47. the writer felt sorry for himself because _.a. there was too much pollution.b. he failed to see the fullest moon.c. he didnt adapt to modern inventionsd. there were too many accidents on the road.48. what impressed the writer most in the mountainous jungle of northern india?a. no modern equipment.b. complete silence.c. the nice moon. d. the high mountain.49. modern things are mentioned mainly to _.a. show that the writer likes city life very much.b. tell us that people greatly benefit from modern life.c. explain that people have less chances to enjoy nature.d. show that we can also enjoy nature at home through them.50. the author wrote the passage to _.a. express the feeling of returning to nature.b. show the love for the moonlight.c. advise modern people to learn to live.d. want to communicate longing for modern life. cthe engineer camilla olivetti was 40 years

what happened to me and my family.as we were sitting on the sidelines enjoying the game, a low-flying bird came swooping in attempting to land on my daughters head! it honestly came out of nowhere. we were seated by ourselves on the tree lined side of the field. i was able to calm my daughters shock and fear once i showed her that the bird was not some wild animal, it was in fact, somebodys pet!now, were sitting at the outdoor fields of the pontiac silverdome, far from any populated area, wondering where this very social cockatiel, an australian parrot (澳洲鹦鹉) could have come from. i walked up to the bird and put out my hand. immediately, it hopped on and chirped in a friendly way. we looked around us and knew that we could not just leave and suppose that the bird would return to where it came from. this was a very domesticated bird that needed help or i
