easily add to your happiness with more money. strange as it may seem, if youre unsatisfied, the issue is not a lack of means to meet your desires but a lack of desiresnot that you cannot satisfy your tastes but that you dont have enough tastes. real riches consist of well-developed and hearty capacities (能力) to enjoy life. most people are already swamped (淹没) with things. they eat, wear, go and talk too much. they live in too big a house with too rooms, but their house of life is a hut. your house of life ought to be a mansion(豪宅), a royal palace. every new taste, every additional interest, every fresh enthusiasm adds a room. here are several room your house of life should have. art should be a desire for you to develop simply because the world is full of beautiful things. if you only understood how to enjoy them and feed your spirit on them, they would make you as happy as to find plenty of ham and eggs when youre hungry. literature, classic literature, is a beautiful, richly furnished room where you might find many an hour of rest and refreshment. to gain that love would go toward making you a rich person, for a rich person is not someone who has a library but who likes a library. music like mozarts and bachs shouldnt be absent. real riches are of the spirit. and when youre brought spirit up to where classical music feeds it and makes you a little drunk, you have increased your thrills and bettered them. and life is a matter of thrills. sports, without which you remain poor, mean a lot in life. no matter who you are, you would be more human, and you house of life would be better supported against the bad days, if you could, and did, play a bit. whatever rooms you might add to your house of life, the secret of enhoying life is to keep adding. 8. the author intends to tell us that _. a. true happiness lies in achieving wealth by fair means b. big houses are peoples most valued possessions c. big houses can in a sense bring richness of life d. true happiness comes from spiritual riches 9 the underlined sentence in the second paragraph probably implies that_. a. however materially rich, they never seem to be satisfied b. however materially rich, they remain spiritually poor c though their house is big, they prefer a simple life d. though their house is big, they prefer a simple life 10. it can be learned from the passage that_. a. more money brings more happiness b. art is needed to make your house beautiful c. literature can enrich your spiritual life d. sports contribute mainly to your physical fitness 11. what would be the best title for the passage?a. house of life b. secret of wealth c. rest and refreshment d. interest and enthusiasm das has been all too apparent in recent days at balcombe, few issues cause greater concern than energy policy. many village communities feel their countryside is being ruined by the power-producing machines of wind farms; yet they never take “direct action”, even though the planning laws put them at a severe disadvantage. and the generous subsidies(财政补贴)，which encourage the expansion of wind power, are not favorable to the village communities and set landowners in conflict with other residents. those who disagree with the rapid expansion of wind farms state that the damage they cause is out of proportion to the benefits they bring, because their energy output cannot match that of the carbon-based power stations they are supposed to replace. supporters insist that wind must be part of a mix of renewable, nuclear and carbon, and that the country is committed to meeting eu(european union) targets for non-carbon energy generation.against this background, the fact that there is an argument within the government over whether to publish an official report on wind farms impact on the countryside becomes even more extraordinary. the two parties in the coalition （联合）government are in disagreement over what it should say. we have some advice for the two parties: publish the report, and let the country be the judge. even if it contains evidence that wind farms are harmful, it will hardly be a pleasant surprise to people who do not like them. equally, supporters must argue their case of acknowledging the concerns and explaining why they are either misplaced or worthy of much attention. the suggestion that further negotiations are to take place to produce an “acceptable” report suggests that the politics of coalition government are doing the country harm in a certain way. given the sensitivities involved, all the information should be available so that people can reach their own conclusions, rather than being left with the suspicion (猜疑) that facts are being replaced by political beliefs. 12. we can learn from the first paragraph that _. a. energy policy catches much attention of the public b. the residents are in favor of the expansion of wind farms c. many village communities are satisfied with the subsidies d. the panning laws offer great benefits to the residents 13. supporters think that the expansion of wind power _. a. is more rapid than that of carbon-based power b. guarantees an increase in energy output c. is expected to be much better than that of nuclear power d. agrees with eu targets for non-carbon energy generation 14. it can be inferred from the passage that _. a. an official report will settle the energy problem b. the two parties are divided over the issue of wind farms c. the two parties have agreed on a further negotiationd. political beliefs concerning energy issue go against facts 15. which of the following reflects the authors opinion?a. increase political impact on energy policy b. release a statement of supporters on wind farms c. let the nation judge the facts about wind power d. leave the two parties to reach their own conclusions 第二节 （共5小题，每小题3分，满分15分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余项。 imagine what you could do with a machine that could make things disappear._16_ in the books of

version of an invisibility cloak. _19_ he in may said that an invisibility cloak was possible and pendry was not the only one thinking about a disappearing act. at the same time, a scottish physicist, uif leonhardt published a paper on building invisibility equipment. “it wasnt easy,” says cummer. “as often happens in science and research, it didnt work very well the first time. that first cloak didnt work like harry potters -_20_so the research is still under way.”a. would you like an invisibility cloak that works just like the one harry potter got from his father?b. the scientists didnt actually see anything disappear.c. so building an invisibility cloak is building something that doesnt reflect light. d. researchers in england and the usa have found the materials to build such a
