happiness, we usually think of something extraordinary, an absolute delight, which seems to get rarer the older we get.for kids, happiness has a magical quality. their delight at winning a race or getting a new bike is unreserved(毫不掩饰的)in the teenage years the concept of happiness changes. suddenly its conditional on such things as excitement, love and popularity. i can still recall the excitement of being invited to dance with the most attractive boy at the school party.in adulthood the things that bring deep joylove, marriage, birthalso bring responsibility and the risk of loss. for adults, happiness is complicated(复杂的)my definition of happiness is “the capacity for enjoyment”. the more we can enjoy what we have, the happier we are. its easy to overlook the pleasure we get from the company of friends, the freedom to live where we please, and even good health.i experienced my little moments of pleasure yesterday. first i was overjoyed when i shut the last lunchbox and had the house to myself. then i spent an uninterrupted morning writing, which i love. when the kids and my husband came home, i enjoyed their noise after the quiet of the day.psychologists tell us that to be happy we need a mix of enjoyable leisure time and satisfying work. i dont think that my grandmother, who raised 14 children, had much of either. she did have a network of close friends and family, and maybe this is what satisfied her.we, however, with so many choices and such pressure to succeed in every area, have turned happiness into one more thing weve got to have. were so selfconscious about our “right” to it that its making us miserable. so we chase it and equal it with wealth and success, without noticing that the people who have those things arent necessarily happier.happiness isnt about what happens to usits about how we see what happens to us. its the skillful way of finding a positive for every negative. its not wishing for what we dont have, but enjoying what we do possess.文章大意：本文是一篇议论文，通过诸多的对比体验点明了幸福的真谛：幸福不是希望获得我们没有的东西，而是享受我们所拥有的东西。幸福就是满足。16as people grow older, they _.afeel it harder to experience happiness bassociate their happiness less with others cwill take fewer risks in pursuing happiness dtend to believe responsibility means happiness答案：a细节理解题。由第一段which seems to get rarer the older we get 我们越老，幸福变得越来越少。可知随着人们变老，人们越难以体验幸福。故选a项。17what can we learn about the author from paragraph 5 and 6?ashe cares little about her own health. bshe enjoys the freedom of traveling. cshe is easily pleased by things in daily life. dshe prefers getting pleasure from housework.答案：c归纳概括题。第五段总体讲了作者对幸福的定义就是“快乐的能力”，越享受拥有的东西，越快乐。第六段具体讲述了作者的一系列幸福体验。可以看出作者对于日常生活中的一些小细节都很容易感到快乐。故选c项。18what can be informed from paragraph 7?apsychologists think satisfying work is key to happiness. bpsychologists opinion is well proved by grandma case. cgrandma often found time for social gatherings. dgrandmas happiness came from modest expectations of life.答案：d推理判断题。由第七段中知道祖母没有休闲时光，没有令人满意的工作，可是祖母对生活很满足，与心理学家的看法不一致，所以排除ab项。祖母没有休闲时光所以不可能经常找时间进行社交聚会，排除c项。祖母对平淡的生活很满足可以推断出祖母的幸福来自适度的生活期望。故选d项。19people who equal happiness with wealth and success _.aconsider pressure something blocking their way bstress their right to happiness too much care at a loss to make correct choices dare more likely to be happy答案：b细节理解题。由倒数第二段第二三句话我们过分刻意的追求幸福的权利，因此我们追逐它，把它等同于财富和成功。故选b项。20what can be concluded from the passage?ahappiness lies between the positive and the negative. beach man is the master of his own fate. csuccess leads to happiness.dhappy is he who is content.答案：d主旨大意题。由最后一段得出结论：幸福不是希望获得我们没有的东西，而是享受我们所拥有的东西。也就是说感到满足就是幸福。故选d项。阅读下列四篇短文，从每小题后所给的a,b,c或d四个选项中，选出最佳选项。as the railroads and the highways shaped the american west in the past centuries, a new electrical generating (发电) and transmission (输送) system for the 21st century will leave a lasting mark on the west, for better or worse. much of the real significance of railroads and highways is not in their direct physical effect on the scenery, but in the ways that they affect the surrounding community. the same is true of big solar plants and the power lines that will be laid down to move electricity around.the 19th century saw land grants (政府拨地) offered to railroad companies to build the transcontinental railroads, leaving public land in between privately owned land. in much of the west, some of the railroad sections were developed while others remained undeveloped, and in both cases the landownership has presented unique challenges to land management. with the completion of the interstate highway system, many of the small towns which sprang up as railway stops and developed well, have lost their lifeblood and died.big solar plants and their power lines will also have effects far beyond their direct footprint in the west. this is not an argument against building them. we need alternative energy badly, and to really take advantage of it we need to be able to move electricity around far more readily than we can now.so tradeoffs will have to be made. some scenic sports will be sacrificed. some species (物种) will be forced to move, or will be carefully moved to special accommodations. deals will be struck to reduce the immediate effects.the lasting effects of these tradeoffs are another matter. the 21st century development of the american west as an ideal place for alternative energy is going to throw off a lot of power and money in the region. there are chances for that power and money to do a lot of good. but it is just as likely that they will be spent wastefully and will leave new problems behind, just like the railroads and the highways.the money set aside in negotiated tradeoffs and the institution that control it will shape the west far beyond the immediate footprint of power plants and transmission lines. so lets remember the effects of the railroads and the highways as we construct these new power plants in the west.本文是一篇说明文。19世纪，美国政府拨款修建铁路和公路，这既带来了好处，也带来了一些不利。现在21世纪，一种新型的电力系统会给美国带来好处还是坏处，这是值得考虑的一个问题。在建这种新型的电力系统时，我们要记住铁路和公路的影响。1what was the problem caused by the construction of the railways?a. small towns along the railways became abandoned.b. some railroad stops remained underused.c. land in the west was hard to manage.d. land grants
