The answer is Denmark, according to the 2016 World Happiness Report.Denmark is neither the richest nor the biggest country. So, what makes its 5.7 million people so happy?The country is famous for its welfare system（福利体系）, that includes health care and education. But besides that, the main reason Danish people are so happy is because of their lifestyle.Have you heard of the word “hygge”?In English, it can be translated into comfort. But hygge is more than that-having a tasty meal with family, talking with friends under the sunshine on weekends, enjoying music, or having a movie night. All these things can be called hygge, which is Danish peoples everyday life.Danish people also have a healthy habit-riding bikes. In Denmarks capital, Copenhagen, bikes are used about 50 percent of the time on the way to school or work. Biking is not only helpful to protect the environment. It is also good for peoples health. Just 30 minutes of biking every day adds about one to two years to persons lifetime.Trust is also important for Danish people. They trust others and people they dont even know. In Aarhus, the second biggest city of Denmark, you can see people buy flowers even when the owner isnt there. People just put money in the empty flowerpot. Trust helps make people happy.“The Danish have no great expectations about what they will do or what will happen to them,” Kaire Christensen, a university teacher said, “They are happy with what they have.”36 . What does the underlined word“that”Paragraph 3 refer to?AGood education.BHealth care.CWelfare system.DSmall population.37 . Which of the following can be a “hygge”style?AWorking hard at weekends.BEnjoying music with friends.CStaying up late studying at night.DSpending a lot of time on business meals.38 . Besides hygge, what else helps Danish people feel happy?AThey have high expectations about the future.BThere is a nice environment without pollution.CPeople trust each other, including the strangers.DIt is a must to ride bikes to work or school every day.39 . What does the passage mainly talk about?AThe welfare system in DenmarkBThe happy lifestyle in Denmark.CThe happiest place in DenmarkDThe expectations in Denmark.As an English person, I can speak three languages English, German and French, so do you think the British people are very good language learners? The fact is that they arent.Some statistics （数据） from the survey done by the European Commission （欧盟委员会） showed that 62% of the British people only speak English. 38% speak at least one foreign language and 18% speak two or more Compared with the British people, 56% of the people in other European countries speak at least one foreign language and 28% speak two or more. From this you can see that the British people are famous for not speaking foreign languages and that they are not good language learners in Europe.And the survey also showed that English is the most widely-spoken foreign language. Many European people can have a conversation in English. Thats why many people dont think it is necessary to learn a foreign language.In Britain, students arent required to learn a foreign language. That means learning a foreign language is only a choice at school. In British schools its common for children to start learning a foreign language at 11 and many of them give it up at 14. So why dont students continue learning foreign languages at school? Because they think its more difficult to get good marks in languages than in other subjects such as science or history.To solve this situation, the British government is looking for different ways to improve language learning at school. One way is to start learning it at a much younger age. Another one is to give school children more choices.40 . What can we learn from the first two paragraphs?AThe people in England are good at learning languages.BMost of British people only speak English.CBritish people are known for speaking foreign languages.DMost of British people want to learn more than one language.41 . How many ways will the British government use to improve language learning?AOne.BTwo.CThree.DFour.42 . Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?APeople in other European countries speak English as much as British people.BOne British student cant give up learning a foreign language until 14.CStudents in Britain prefer to learn science or history rather than learn a foreign language.DIts unusual for British students not to learn a foreign language.四、用所给单词的正确形式填空根据句意，用括号中所给词的适当形式填空，并将答案写在答题卡的相应位置上。43 .
