Although they have equal degree of health and wealth and

12、other comforts of life, one becomes happy, the other becomes unhappy. This arises from the different ways in which they consider things, persons, events and the resulting effects upon their minds.People who are to be happy fix their attention on the convenience of things. The pleasant parts of conve

13、rsation, the well prepared dishes, the goodness of the wine, the fine weather. They enjoy all the cheerful things. Those who are to be unhappy think and speak only of the opposite things. Therefore, they are continually dissatisfied. By their remarks, they sour the pleasure of society, offend（hurt）m

14、any people, and make themselves disagreeable everywhere. If this turn of mind was founded in nature, such unhappy persons would be the more to be pitied. The intention of criticizing and being disliked is perhaps taken up by imitation. It grows into a habit, unknown to its possessors. The habit may

15、be strong , but it may be cured when those who have it realize its bad effects on their interests and tastes. I hope this little warning may be of service to them, and help them change this habit.Although in fact it is chiefly an act of the imagination, it has serious results in life since it brings

16、 on deep sorrow and bad luck. Those people offend many others; nobody loves them, and no one treats them with more than the most common politeness and respect. This frequently puts them in bad temper and draws them into arguments. If they aim at getting some advantages in social position or fortune,

17、 nobody wishes them success. Nor will anyone start a step or speak a word to favor their hopes. If they bring on themselves public objections, no one will defend or excuse them, and many will join to criticize their wrongdoings. They should change this bad habit and be pleased with what is pleasing,

18、 without worrying needlessly about themselves and others. If they do not, it will be good for others to avoid any contact with them. Otherwise, it can be disagreeable and sometimes very inconvenient, especially when one becomes mixed up in their quarrels.1、The underlined phrase “sour the pleasure of

19、 society” in Para.2 most nearly means_.Ahave a good taste with social lifeBmake others unhappyCtend to scold others openlyDenjoy the pleasure of life2、We can conclude from the passage that_.Awe should pity all such unhappy peopleBsuch unhappy people are dangerous to social lifeCunhappy people can no

20、t understand happy personsDpeople can get rid of the habit of unhappiness3、If such unhappy persons insist on keeping the habit , the author suggests that people should _.Aprevent any communication with themBshow no respect and politeness to themCpersuade them to recognize the bad effectsDquarrel wit

21、h them until they realize the mistakes4、In this passage, the writer mainly_.Adescribes two types of peopleBlaughs at the unhappy peopleCsuggests ways to help unhappy peopleDtells people how to be happy in life22（8分） Everybody hates it, but everybody does it. A recent report said that 40%of Americans

22、 hate tipping. In America alone, tipping is a $ 16 billion-a-year industry. Consumers acting politely ought not to pay more than they have to for a given service. Tips should not exist. So why do they? The common opinion in the past was that tips both rewarded the efforts of good service and reduced

23、 uncomfortable feelings of inequality. And also, tipping makes for closer relations. It went without saying that the better the service, the bigger the tip.But according to a new research from Cornell University, tips no longer serve any useful function. The paper analyzes numbers they got from 2,54

24、7 groups dining at 20 different restaurants. The connection between larger tips and better service was very weak. Only a tiny part of the size of the tip had anything to do with the quality of service.Tipping is better explained, by culture than by the money people spend. In America, the custom came

25、 into being a long time ago. It is regarded as part of the accepted cost of a service. In New York restaurants, failing to tip at least 15% could well mean dissatisfaction from the customers. Hairdressers can expect to get l5%-20%, and the man who delivers your fast food $ 2. In Europe, tipping is l

26、ess common. In many restaurants the amount of tip is decided by a standard service charge. In many Asian countries, tipping has never really caught on at all. Only a few have really taken to tipping. According to Michael Lynn, the Cornell papers author, countries in which people are more social or o

27、utgoing tend to tip more. Tipping may reduce anxiety about being served by strangers. And Mr. Lynn says, “In America, where people are expressive and eager to mix up with others, tipping is about social approval. If you tip badly, people think less of you. Tipping well is a chance to show off.”1、Thi

28、s passage is mainly about .Adifferent kinds of tipping in different countriesBthe relationship between tipping and customCthe origin and present meaning of tippingDmost American people hate tipping2、Which of the following best explains the underlined phrase “caught on”?Abecome popular.Bbeen hated.Cb

29、een stopped.Dbeen permitted3、Among the following situations, in your opinion, who is likely to tip most?AA Frenchman just quarreled with the barber who did his hair badly in New York.BAn American just had a wonderful dinner in a well known restaurant in New York.CA Japanese businessman asked for a p

30、izza delivery from a Pizza Hut in New York.DA Chinese student enjoyed his meal in a famous fast food restaurant in New York.4、We can infer from this passage that .Atipping is no longer a good way to satisfy some customers themselvesBtipping is especially popular in New YorkCtipping in America can ma

31、ke service better nowDtipping has something to do with peoples character23（8分）Every man wants his son to be somewhat of a clone, not in features but in footsteps. As he grows you also age, and your ambitions become more unachievable. You begin to realize that your boy, in your footsteps, could proba

32、bly accomplish what you hoped for. But footsteps can be muddied and they can go off in different directions.My son Jody has hated school since day one in kindergarten. Science projects waited until the last moment. Book reports werent written until the final threat.Ive been a newspaperman all my adu

33、lt life. My daughter is a university graduate working toward her masters degree in English. But Jody? When he entered the tenth grade he became a “vo-tech” student (技校学生).Theyre called “motorheads” by the rest of the student body.When a secretary in my office first called him “motorhead”, I was shoc

34、ked. “Hey, hes a good kid,” I wanted to say. “And smart, really.”I learned later that motorheads are, indeed, different. They usually have dirty hands and wear dirty work clothes. And they dont often make school honor rolls.But being the parent of a motorhead is itself an experience in education. We

35、 who labor in clean shirts in offices dont have the abilities that motorheads have. I began to learn this when I had my car crashed. The cost to repair it was estimated at $800. “Hey, I can fix it,” said Jody. I doubted it, but let him go ahead, for I had nothing to lose.My son, with other motorhead

36、s, fixed the car. They got parts from a junkyard, and ability from vo-tech classes. The cost was $25 instead of $800.Since that first repair job, a broken air-conditioner, a non-functioning washer and a non-toasting toaster have been fixed. Neighbors and co-workers trust their car repair to him.Thes

37、e kids are happiest when doing repairs. They joke and laugh and are living in their own relaxed world. And their minds are bright despite their dirty hands and clothes.I have learned a lot from my motorhead: publishers need printers, engineers need mechanics, and architects need builders. Most impor

38、tant, I have learned that fathers don need clones in footsteps or anywhere else.My son may never make the school honor roll. But he made mine.1、The author let his son repair the car because he believed that .Ahis son had the ability to fix itBit would save him much timeCit wouldnt cause him any more

39、 lossDother motorheads would come to help2、What did the author realize in the end?AIt is unwise to expect your child to follow your path.BIt is important for one to make the honor roll.CArchitects play a more important role than builders.DMotorheads have greater ability than office workers.24（8分） An

40、 exciting landing process of Change-4 lunar probe (月球探测器 ) was seen through the monitor at Beijing Aerospace Control Center in Beijing, Jan. 3, 2019.

41、ible from Earth.Chinas Change-4 probe has started the exploration on the far side of the moon thanks to the relay satellite that provides a communication link with ground control. The relay satellite, named Queqiao, meaning Magpie Bridge, after a Chinese legend (传说 ) , was launched on May 21, 2018,

42、and became the first communication satellite operating in the halo orbit, nearly 500,000 km from the earth. It can also provide communication for probes from other countries. The relay satellite will also be used for scientific and technological experiments. The maximum distance between the satellit

43、e and the Change-4 probe on the far side of the moon is 79,000 km. The satellite processes data from the probe and sends it to Earth.The satellite can stay in its orbit for a long time due to its relatively low fuel consumption, as the earths and moons gravity balances its orbital moving. While in o

44、rbit, it can see both the earth and the far side of the moon.The concept of using a relay satellite in the halo orbit was first put forward by U.S. space experts in the 1960s, but was realized by Chinese space engineers.Researchers hope to use the cameras on the satellite to record asteroids (小行星 )

45、hitting the far side of the moon.

50、easy. One day you wake up feeling like you can take over the world, and the next day you wake up feeling like all you want to do is to lie in bed and hide from everything.People walk into your life, grab your hand, and lead you through the most beautiful path youve known, but sometimes the same peop
