students how their weekend had been. one young man said that his weekend had not been very good. the young man then began to ask me why i always seemed to be so cheerful.his question reminded me of something id read somewhere before: “every morning when you get up, you have a choice about how you want to approach life that day.” i said to the young man，“i choose to be cheerful.”“let me give you an example，”i continued. “besides teaching here at unlv, i also teach out at the community college in henderson, about seventeen miles down the freeway from where i live. one day a few weeks ago i drove to henderson. i left the freeway and turned onto college drive. but just then my car died. i tried to start it again, but the engine wouldnt turn over. so i put my flashers on, took my books, and marched down the road to the college.”as soon as i got there, i called aaa(美协会) and asked them to send a tow truck(拖车). the secretary in the provosts office asked me what had happened. this is my lucky day，i replied, smiling.“your car breaks down and today is your lucky day？she was puzzled. what do you mean？”“i live seventeen miles from here. i replied. my car could have broken down anywhere along the freeway. it didnt. instead, it broke down in the perfect place: off the freeway, within walking distance of here. i m still able to teach my class, and ive been able to arrange for the tow truck to meet me after class. if my car was meant to break down today, it couldnt have been arranged in a more convenient fashion.”21according to the passage, if one wants to be cheerful he should_.a have a good time every day b be interested in his job c earn a lot of money by working hard d choose to be cheerful every day22the underlined phrase “turn over” means_.a roll back b start to work c stop suddenly d move around23which of the following is true according to the passage?a the author taught not only at unlv but also at a community college. b that was the authors lucky day because she liked walking. c the author hoped that the car would break down often. d the young man was not cheerful because he was poor at his lessons.24what would probably happen after the author told her story?a the students would ask her to tell another story. b the students would still wonder how to be cheerful. c the students would be touched and try to be cheerful. d the students would doubt whether the story was true. bmost people feel lonely sometimes, but it usually only lasts between a few minutes and a few hours. this kind of loneliness is not serious. in fact, it is quite normal. for some people, though, loneliness can last for years. now researchers say there are three different types of loneliness. the first kind of loneliness is temporary. this is the most common type. it usually disappears quickly and does not require any special, attention. the second kind, situational loneliness, is a natural result of a particular situation, for example, a family problem, the death of a loved one, or moving to a new place. although this kind of loneliness can cause physical problems, such as headaches and sleeplessness, it usually does not last formore than a year. the third kind of loneliness is the most severe. unlike the second type, chronic (长期的) loneliness usually lasts more than two years and has no specific cause. people who experience habitual loneliness have problems socializing and becoming close to others. unfortunately, many chronically lonely people think there is little or nothing they can do to improve their condition. psychologists agree that one important factor in loneliness is a persons social contacts, e. g., friends, family members, co-workers, etc. we depend on various people for different reasons. for instance, our families give us emotional support, our parents and teachers give us guidance, and our friends share similar interests and activities. however, psychologists have found that, though lonely people may have many social contacts, they sometimes feel they should have more. they question their own popularity. psychologists are trying to find ways to help habitually lonely people for two reasons: they are unhappy and unable to socialize and there is a connection between chronic loneliness and serious illness such as heart disease.while temporary and situational loneliness can be a normal, healthy part of life, chronic loneliness can be a very sad, and sometimes dangerous condition. 25. how would you treat temporary loneliness according to the passage?a. talk to friends. b. just ignore it. c. go to see a doctor. d. ask your teachers for guidance. 26. the topic of the 4th paragraph is that _. a. one problem of loneliness is a persons social contactsb. we depend on various people for different reason c. lonely people dont have many social problems d. lonely people dont have many friends 27. why do psychologists want to help chronically lonely people? a. chronic loneliness can cause family problems. b. chronic loneliness can cause serious illness. c. chronic loneliness can not be overcome. d. a, b and c are all correct. 28. what is the best title for the passage?a. three kinds of loneliness b. loneliness and diseases c. loneliness and social contacts d. chronic loneliness cwhen i was growing up in america, i was ashamed of my mothers chinese english. because of her english, she was often treated unfairly. people in department stores, at banks, and at restaurants did not take her seriously ,did not give her good service ,pretended not to understand her ,or even acted as if they did not hear her .my mother has realized the limitations of her english as well. when i was fifteen, she used to have me call people on phone to pretend i was she . i was forced to ask for information or even to yell at people who had been rude to her. one time i had to call her stockbroker (股票经纪人).i said in an adolescent voice that was not very convincing, “this is mrs.tan.” and my mother was standing beside me ,whispering loudly, “why he dont send me cheek already two week lone.”and then , in perfect english i said : “im getting rather concerned .you agreed to send the check two weeks ago, but it hasnt arrived.”then she talked more loudly. “what he want? i come to new york tell him front of his boss.” and so i turned to the stockbroker again, “i cant tolerate any more excuse. if i dont receive the check immediately , i am going to have to speak to your manager when i am in new york next week.”the next week we ended up in new york. while i was sitting there red-faced, my mother, the real mrs.tan, was shouting to his boss in her broken english. when i was a teenager, my mothers broken english embarrassed me. but now, i see it differently. to me, my mothers english is perfectly clear, perfectly natural. it is my mother tongue. her language, as i hear it, is vivid, direct, and full of observation and wisdom. it was the language that helped shape the way i saw things, expressed ideas, and made sense of the world.29.why was the authors mother poorly served? a.she was unable to speak good english. b.she was often misunderstood.c.she was not clearly heard. d.she was not very polite.30.from paragorph 2, we know that the author was_.a.good at pretending b.rude to the stockbrokerc.ready to help her mother d.unwilling to phone for her mother31.what does the author think of

is your favourite colour？do you like yellow，orange，red？_36_ do you prefer greys and blues？then you are probably quiet，shy，and you would rather follow than lead.you tend to be a pessimist.at least，this is what psychologists tell us，and they should know，because they have been seriously studying the meaning of colour preference，as well as the effect that colours have on human beings._37_ if you happen to love brown，you did so，as soon as you opened your eyes，or at least as soon as you could see clearly. _38_ a yellow room makes most people feel more cheerful and more relaxed than a dark green one；and a red dress brings warmth and cheer to the saddest winter day._39_ a black bridge over the thames river，near london，used to be the scene of more suicides(自杀) than any other bridge in the areauntil it was repainted green.the number of suicide attempts immediately fell sharply.perhaps it would have fallen even more if the bridge had been done in pink or baby blue. _40_ it is an established fact that factory workers work better, harder，and have fewer accidents when their machines are painted orange rather than black or grey. aon the other hand，black is depressing.bthey tell us，among other facts，that we do not choose our favourite colour as grow upwe are born with our preference.cthe rooms are painted in different colours as you like.dif you do，you must be an optimist，a leader，an active person who enjoys life，people and excitement.elight and bright colours make people not only happier but more active.flife is like a picture or a poem，full of different colours.gcolours do influence our moodsthere is no doubt about it第三部分： 完形填空 (共20小题，每小题.2分, 满分40分) 阅读下面短文。从短文后各题所给的四个选项（a、b、c和d）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。we planned to build a highway passing an old
