He enjoyed his work and traveling. But now，Mr. Cousins got sick. Because he had pushed his body to the limit of its strength on the trip, a chemical change began to take place inside him. The material between his bones became weak. In less than one week after his return, he could not stand. Every move that he made was painful. He was not able to sleep at night.The doctors told him that they did not know how to cure his problem and he might never get over the illness. However, Mr. Cousins refused to give up hope. He thought that unhappy thoughts were causing bad chemical changes in his body. He didnt want to take medicine to cure himself. Instead, he felt that happy thoughts or laughter might cure his illness.He began to experiment on himself while still in the hospital by watching funny shows on television. Mr. Cousins quickly found that 10 minutes of real laughter during the day gave him two hours of pain-free sleep at night. After that Mr. Cousins left the hospital and checked into a hotel room where he could continue his experiments with laughter. For eight days, Mr. Cousins rested in the hotel room watching funny shows on television, reading funny books, and sleeping whenever he felt tired. Within three weeks, he felt well enough to take a vacation to Puerto Rico where he began running on the beach for exercise.After a few months, Mr. Cousins returned to work. He had laughed himself back to health.36. This passage mainly tells us that_.A. laughter can cure illness B.

Good medicine and enough sleep.C. Happy thoughts and laughter. D. Plenty of physical training.39. We can infer from the text that Mr. Cousins experiment is _.A. valuable B. expensiveC. a waste of time D. just a jokeBPeople say teenagers are no good. They make too much noise in shopping malls; they drive carelessly up and down Americas main streets. And at least some of the time those things are true. But we shouldnt forget that there are hard moments in the life of a teenager too.I watched such a moment not long ago at a womans funeral which happened in a church. A teenage grandson stepped forward. Softly he began: “I want to share a few values that Nana taught me. She never failed to see light in any situation. When our family dog would attack her, what would Nana say? Oh, what beautiful markings that dog has. That was Nana.”“She was a strong woman who often lived in the shadow of my grandpa, who was a successful businessman in this city. But she was the one behind the scenes who provided the strength and support for Grandpas career,” he said, with a voice now trembling. “That was Nanas way.”Finally, in a voice breaking free of sorrow, he looked up and said, “Nana taught me courage. She put up a fight to the end, when she died peacefully, which is how she lived her life. That was Nanas way, and I hope I can carry on in the same manner.”There are no hearts as sensitive as those of teenagers, because everything is happening to them for the first time. The trouble with teenagers is that they havent learned to be controlled. When that boy rose to speak about the woman who had been his dearest friend, his honest voice dragged each of us out into the open where we could no longer hide. I was moved and learned a lot.40. We can learn from the first paragraph that_.A. young people should keep quietB. young people are living a happy lifeC. people dont think well of teenagersD. people shouldnt forget teenagers41.

The passage is most probably taken from _.A. a report B. a novel C. a textbook D. a websiteDMore than half of rich Americans have not shown their full wealth to their children, a new survey showed last Tuesday.The survey, published by the Bank of America, studied the rich with $ 3 million or more in assets(资产). It found that “surprisingly few of those surveyed have well-developed plans to pass on their assets to their children.”The majority of the 457 people surveyed are self-made, first-generation rich. Fifty-two percent of parents have chosen not to tell their children just how wealthy they are, and 15 percent have given away nothing about the family wealth. One in three parents said they had never thought to do it.They are worried that their children would become lazy, spend money freely, make bad decisions and even become a target for gold diggers.Only 34 percent strongly agreed that their children would be able to handle the assets they plan to leave them.“There is an expectation about the wealthy parents that they have a responsibility to pass down their fortune to the next generation,” said Sallie Krawcheck, president of the Bank of America Globai Wealth and Investment Management. “Our research, however, uncovered changing views of what one generation owe (欠) the next.”The trend(趋势) is led by the worlds richest man Bill Gates, who promised in 2020 that he would leave his $58 billion fortune to the charity started by him and his wife , the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, and not to his children.“We want to give it back to society in the way that it will have the most effect,” he said.Of his plans for his children, Gates said: “I will give the kids some money but not a meaningful percentage they will need to work but they will feel reasonably taken care of.”48. According to the survey, most rich Americans _.A. think they should give their children nothingB. are confident of their childrens bright futureC. are willing to tell their children what they haveD. doubt their childrens ability to handle wealth49. The underlined word “they” in Paragraph 6 refers to_.A. free children B. rich parentsC. most Americans D. Bill Gates and his wife50. From the last paragraph, we can see that Bill Gates wants to show_.A. the way of giving back to societyB. the effect on passing down wealthC. the joy of taking good care of his childrenD. the importance of independence for children第二节 （共5小题；每小题2分，满分10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选项。A boy left his home to find the Bird of Happiness. He wanted it to bring warmth, flowers, trees and grass to the bare, cold, snow-covered mountains where he lived.51 The monster asked him where he was going. The boy told him. “Ill tell you where it is,” the monster replied, “but first you must kill someone for me. If you wont, then Ill blow to the road through my beard and make it disappear.”52 The boy continued his journey across sharp rocks and soon his feet sore and bleeding from cuts.Then he met a monster with a brown beard. “Ill tell you where the Bird of Happiness is,” the monster said, “but first you must poison someone for me. If you wont, then Ill blow to the road through my beard and turn it into a desert.”The boy refused to obey the monster. 53 Before long, the boy was weak with hunger and thirst.Then he met a monster with a white beard. “Ill tell you where the Bird of Happiness is,” the monster said, “but first you must blind someone for me. If you wont, then Ill blow to you through my beard and blind you.”The boy refused to obey the monster. It immediately blew to him and blinded him.The boy continued on his journey, but he was crawling now. At last, he reached the top of the mountain where the Bird of Happiness lived. 54 Then the Bird touched his eyes and he could see again. The Bird fed him, built up his strength and carried him home.As soon as the Bird of Happiness landed in the boys village, the countryside all around turned green. That was all because the brave boy brought the Bird of Happiness home to them.55A. The monster took away the boys water and food bags.B. Before long, he met a monster with
