A lot of people say that Balinese culture is unique and that the people of Bali have always been content with the “now”. If you ask a Balinese person what heaven is like, the probable answer will be “just like Bali”. This only goes to show that most Balinese people are happy to be where they are and never worry.One factor that contributes to this laidback lifestyle is the culture of close family ties in Bali. In the Balinese culture, support is always available. Balinese extended families are so tightly linked that all members usually live in the same block.Balinese culture is based on a form of this religion, which is called “Hindu Drama”. This religion reached the island during the eleventh century. Most of the family customs and traditions as well as community lifestyles of the Balinese people are influenced by this. The religious influence even expands widely into the arts, which makes Bali distinct from the rest of Indonesia.In spite of the fact that tourists flood to the island every year, Balinese people have managed to conserve their culture. Almost every native of Bali is an artist in some form or another. Parents and villagers have passed on their skills to their children, who all seem to have inclinations (爱好) either to music, dance, painting, or decoration.Another remarkable mark of the Balinese culture is the senses of ceremonies known as the Manusa Yadnya. This marks the different stages of Balinese life. Cremation (火葬) is very popular on this islandand unlike in the West, death is a joyous and colorful event for the Balinese.51. What do we know about Balinese according to the first two paragraphs?A. They lead a very relaxing but unwealthy life.B. They live in large families and are close to each other.C. Their family members are distributed in different places.D. Their extended families live too close together to get along well.52. Bali is distinguished from the rest of Indonesia by _.A. peoples tight family relationshipB. the family customs and traditionsC. peoples great love for religionD. the influence of religion on their culture53. When a person dies in Bali, it is a common practice to _.A. express deep sorrow at his deathB. celebrate the death like a great eventC. sing and dance joyfully in his honorD. remember what he did in his lifetime54. What is the text mainly about?A. Balinese religion.B. The lifestyle of Balinese.C. Balinese culture.D. The tourism in Bali.BAre you an optimist? Do you look at your glass and see it as half full? Do you believe that every cloud has a silver lining and that generally things turn out for the best? Do you believe that if something is meant to be, it will be? If you reply “yes” to all of these questions, then you are an optimist. You probably are enthusiastic, cheerful and outgoing. You may well be successful at work and in love.But you may be misguided because things dont turn out for the best. You may believe that when one door closes another one opens (for example, you may fail to obtain a new job, another chance will come around soon), Wrong. When one door closes, another door slams in your face. Thats bitter reality.Now a book has been published which confirms what we pessimists (悲观者) have suspected all along. Its called The Positive Power of Defensive Pessimism. Its author argues that defensive pessimism can lead to positive results. Defensive pessimism is a strategy used to manage fear, anxiety and worry. Defensive pessimists prepare for things by setting low outcomes for themselves. They carefully consider everything that may go wrong and plan for ways to handle these problems. And this gives them a sense of control. Lawrence Sanno, a psychology professor, says, “Whats interesting about defensive pessimists is that they tend to be very successful people, so their low opinion of the situations outcomes is not realistic. They use it to motivate themselves to perform better.”So far, so good. This is not rocket science. Defensive pessimists prepare carefully and consider what might go wrong, whether at work, on a date or even in a sports game. It makes sense to have a back-up plan. There are many sayings in English urging caution. For example, “Dont put all your eggs in one basket,” and “Dont count your chickens until they hatch. “To have a confident and optimistic approach to lifes problems is good. But listen to what Woody Alien, the American comedian says, “Confidence is what you have before you understand the problem.”There are pros and cons to being an optimist and a pessimist. Dont feel bad if you see the glass half empty. You are a realist. But lighten up and hook up with someone who sees the same glass half full.55. What is the passage mainly about?A. A book that has recently been published.B. The dangers of being too optimistic.C. How to become successful in life. D. The benefits of defensive pessimism.56. The underlined sentence “This is not rocket science” in paragraph 4 means _.A. it is quite simple to understandB. there is no real proofC. its not a dangerous thing to doD. the cost is not so high57. The writer would probably describe himself as _.A. an optimistB. a defeatist C. a realist D. a scientist58. Which of the following English expressions would a defensive pessimist believe? A. “Every cloud has a silver lining.”B. “Dont put all your eggs in one basket.” C. “Whatever will be, will be.” D. “The glass is half full not half empty.”CThe Greeks had long kept certain more or less formal relations with the people of Macedonia (马其顿). The Macedonians from their side had kept themselves well informed about conditions in Greece. Now it happened, just when Sparta and Athens had finished their disastrous war, that Macedonia was ruled by an extraordinarily clever man named Philip. He admired the Greek spirit but he looked down on the Greek lack of self-control in political affairs. It angered him to see a perfectly good people waste its men and money upon fruitless quarrels. So he settled the difficulty by making himself the master of all Greece and then he asked his new subjects to join him on a voyage which he meant to pay to Persia in return for the visit which Xerxes had paid the Greeks 150 years before. Unfortunately Philip was murdered before he could start this well-prepared expedition (远征). The task of avenging (报仇) the destruction of Athens was left to Philips son Alexander, the beloved pupil of Aristotle, wisest of all Greek teachers. Alexander left Europe in the spring of 334 BC. Seven years later he reached India. In the meantime he had destroyed Phoenicia (腓尼基，地中海古国), the old rival of the Greek merchants. He had conquered Egypt and had been worshipped by the people of the Nile valley as the son and heir of the Pharaohs (法老). He had defeated the last Persian kinghe had overthrown the Persian Empire, he had given orders to rebuild Babylonhe had led his troops into the heart of the Himalayan mountains and had made the entire world a Macedonian province and dependency. Then he stopped and announced even more ambitious plans. The newly formed Empire must be brought under the influence of the Greek mind. The people must be taught the Greek languagethey must live in cities built after a Greek model. The Alexandrian soldier now turned school-master. The military camps of yesterday became the peaceful centres of the newly imported Greek civilisation. Higher and higher did the flood of Greek manners and Greek customs rise, when suddenly Alexander was stricken with a fever and died in the old palace of King Hammurabi of Babylon in the year 323 BC. His Empire did not long survive him. A number of ambitious generals divided the territory among themselves. But they too remained faithful to the dream of a great world brotherhood of Greek and Asiatic ideas and knowledge. They maintained their independence until the Romans came. 59. The first 3 paragraphs aim at telling readers about _.A. the Greek relationship with Macedonia B. Alexanders fathers achievements C. Greeks lack of communication with the outsideD. the background of Alexanders expedition 60. It can be implied that Philip organized a voyage to Persia _.A. to pay a return visit B. to avenge the destruction of Athens C. to start a well-prepared expedition D. to spread Greek culture 61. What happened as a result of Alexanders expedition?A. India became an independent part of Macedonia.B. Phoenicia was destroyed by Greek merchants. C. Egypt was conquered by the Pharaohs. D. The Persian Empire was overturned. 62. We can guess that Alexanders most ambitious plan after 327 BC was _.A. to bring the newly formed Empire under the Greek influence B. to distribute the territory among the generals C. to turn the soldiers into school teachersD. to build prosperous cities for GreeksD Fifth disease is a viral infection caused by human parvovirus (细小病毒) B19.
