report came to the british on may 21,1941. the german battleship bismarck, the most powerful warship in the world, was moving out into the atlantic ocean. her task: to destroy the ships carrying supplies from the united states to war-torn england.the british had feared such a task. no warship they had could match the bismarck in speed or in firepower. the bismarck had eight 15-inch guns and 81 smaller guns. she could move at 30 nautical miles(海里) an hour, she was believed to be unsinkable.however, the british had to sink her. they sent out a task force headed by their best battleship hood to hunt down the bismarck. on may 24, the hood found the bismarck.it was a meeting that the german commander luetjens did not want to see. his orders were to destroy the british ships that were carrying supplies, but to stay away from a fight with british warships.the battle didnt last long. the bismarcks first torpedo(鱼雷)hit the hood, which went down taking all but three of her 1,419 men with her.but in the fight, the bismarck was slightly damaged （损坏）. her commander decided to run for repairs to france, which had at that time been taken by the germans. the british force followed her. however, because of the bismarcks speed and the heavy fog, they lost sight of her.for two days , every british ship in the atlantic tried to find the bismarck. but with no success. finally, she was sighted by a plane from ireland. trying to slow the bismarck down so that their ships could catch up with her, the british fired at her from the air. the bismarck was hit on the morning of may 27, the last battle was fought. four british ships fired on the bismarck. and she was finally sunk.56.the bismarck sailed into the atlantic ocean_.a. to sink the hood b. to gain control of france c. to cut off american supplies to britaind. to stop british warships reaching germany57.many people believed that the bismarck could not be defeated because she_.a. was fast and powerful b. had more men on board c. was under luetjens command d. had bigger guns than other ships58.we learn from the text that on 24 may_.a. the british won the battle against the bismarckb .the bismarck won the battle against the britishc. the british gunfire damaged the bismarch seriouslyd. the bismarck succeeded in keeping away from the british59.luetjens tried to sail to france in order to_.a. have the ship repairedb. join the other germans c. get help from the frenchd. get away from the british60.which of the following is the immediate cause of the sinking of the bismarck?a. the british air strikes.b. the damage done by the hood.c. gunfire from the british warships.d. luetjens decision to run for france b the way people hold to the belief that a fun-filled, pain free life equals happiness actually reduces their chances of ever attaining real happiness. if fun and pleasure are equal to happiness then pain must be equal to unhappiness. but in fact, the opposite is true: more often than not things that lead to happiness involve some pain.as a result, many people avoid the very attempts that are the source of true happiness. they fear the pain inevitably brought by such things as marriage, raising children, professional achievement, religious commitment （预担的义务）, self - improvement.ask a bachelor（单身汉） why he resists marriage even though he finds dating to be less and less satisfying. if he is honest he will tell you that he is afraid of making a commitment. for commitment is in fact quite painful. the single life is filled with fun, adventure, excitement. marriage has such moments, but they are not its most distinguishing features.couples with infant children are lucky to get a whole nights sleep or a three - day vacation. i dont know any parent who would choose the word fun to describe raising children. but couples who decide not to have children never know the joys of watching a child grow up or of playing with a grandchild.understanding and accepting that true happiness has nothing to do with fun is one of the most liberating realizations. it liberates time: now we can devote more hours to activities that can genuinely increase our happiness. it liberates money: buying that new car or those fancy clothes that will do nothing to increase our happiness now seems pointless. and it liberates us from envy: we now understand that all those who are always having so much fun actually may not be happy at all.61according to the author, a bachelor resists marriage chiefly because _ .a. he is reluctant to take on family responsibilitiesb. he believes that life will be more cheerful if he remains singlec. he finds more fun in dating than in marriaged. he fears it will put an end to all his fun adventure and excitement62raising children, in the authors opinion is _ .a. a moral dutyb. a thankless job c. a rewarding taskd. a source of inevitable pain63from the last paragraph, we learn that envy sometimes stems from _.a. hatred.b. misunderstandingc. prejudiced. ignorance64to understand what true happiness is one must _ .a. have as much fun as possible during ones lifetimeb. make every effort to liberate oneself from painc. put up with pain under all circumstancesd. be able to distinguish happiness from fun65what is the author trying to tell us?a. happiness often goes hand in hand with painb. one must know how to attain happiness.c. it is important to make commitments. d. it is pain that leads to happiness. cmaybe ten-year-old elizabeth put it best when she said to her father. “but dad, you cant be healthy if youre dead.” dad in a hurry to get home before dark so he could go for a run, had forgotten to wear his safety belt-a mistake 75% of the us population make every day. the big question is why. there have been many myths about safety belts ever since their first appearance in cars some forty years ago. the following are three of the most common. myth( 神话)number one: its best to be “thrown clear” of a serious accident. truth: sorry , but any accident serious enough to “throw you clear” is also going to be serious enough to give you a very bad landing. and chances are youll have traveled through a windshield(挡风玻璃)or door to do it. studies show that chances of dying after a car accident are twenty-five times greater in cases where people are “thrown clear.”myth number two: safety belts “trap” people in cars that are burning or sinking in water.truth: sorry again. but studies show that people knocked unconscious(昏迷) due to not wearing safety belts have a greater chance of dying in these accidents. people wearing safety belts are usually protected to the point of having a clear head to free themselves from such dangerous situations, not to be trapped in them.myth number three: safety belts arent needed at speeds of less than 30 miles per hourtruth: when two cars traveling at 30 mph hit each other. an unbelted driver would meet the windshield with a force equal to diving headfirst into the ground from a height of 10 meters.66why did elizabeth say to her father, “but. dad, you cant be healthy if youre dead”?a. he was driving at great speed.b. he was running across the street.c. he didnt have his safety belt on.d. he didnt take his medicine on time.67.the reason father was in a hurry to get home was that hea. wasnt feeling very wellb. hated to drive in the darkc. wanted to take some exercised. didnt want to be caught by the police68. according to the text, to be “thrown clear” of a serious accident is very dangerous ,because you a. may be knocked down by other carsb may get seriously hurt being thrown out of the carc. may find it impossible to get away from the seatd. may get caught in the car door69. some people prefer to drive without wearing a safety belt because they believe.a. the belt prevents them from escaping in an accidentb. they will be unable to think clearly in an accidentc. they will be caught when help comesd. cars catch fire easily70. what is the advice given in the text?anever drive faster than 30 miles an hour.b. try your best to save yourself in a car accident.c. never forget to wear the safety belt while driving.d. drive slowly while youre not wearing a safety belt. din america, seldom do you go anywhere without hearing a principle called win-winit sounds strange to me at first because throughout my childhood, i have always been taught to try everything possible to win an upper-hand, rather than to help other people winhowever, as time goes by, i have gradually comprehended the essence（真谛）of win-win principle it is the attitude of seeking mutual benefit when i was little, i used to play chinese checkers（跳棋）which include two basic tactics（战术）: one is to create paths for yourself; the other is to block the passages of your rivalplayers may apply these two totally different approaches in the game, but the key for the player to win is to continuously create paths for him even if his opponent may take advantage of itfinally he can always reach the destination（目的地）a few steps ahead of the other playermeanwhile, some player may take another approach to prevent his opponent from moving forward at all costsby this he may get a short-term benefit, but couldnt fix attention on the final goal, thus he would never truly develop further in the 1990s, a strategy called win-win became widespread in the western worldits core is to achieve your objective while giving other people some benefits, so there is no real loserone example of applying the win-win principle is the voluntary system in usmost americans advocate（提倡）the spirit of social service and voluntar
