Zimbabwe, troubled by political insecurity and hunger, is rated the gloomiest (最差的), picking up only 3.89 points.Although rising incomes and increased individual choices are highly valued, the report said, some of the factors associated with modernization such as the breakdown (崩溃) in traditional institutions and family values in part take away from a positive impact.Ireland wins because it successfully combines the most desirable elements of the new with the preservation of certain warm elements of the old, such as stable family and community life.The magazine admitted measuring quality of life is not a straightforward thing to do，and that its findings would have their critics.No. 2 on the list is Switzerland. The other nations in the top 10 are Norway, Luxembourg, Sweden, Australia, Iceland, Italy, Denmark and Spain.The UK is positioned at No. 29, a much lower position chiefly because of the social and family breakdown recorded in official statistics. The US, which has the second highest per capita GDP (人均国内生产总值) after Luxembourg, took the 13th place in the survey. China was in the lower half of the league at 60th.For 2,005.1 Years, Ireland has been the best place for humans to live in.A RightB WrongC Not mentioned2 Job security is the least important measure of life quality.A RightB WrongC Not mentioned3 Costs Of Living in Ireland is pretty high.A RightB WrongC Not mentioned4 Family life in Zimbabwe is not stable.A RightB WrongC Not mentioned5 Ireland is positioned at No. 1 because it combines the most desirable elements of the new with some good elements of the old.A RightB WrongC Not mentioned6 To measure life quality is easy.A RightB WrongC Not mentioned7 The United States of America is among the top 10 countries.A RightB WrongC Not mentioned概括大意ArchitectureArchitecture is to building as literature is to the printed word. The best buildings are often so well constructed that they outlast their original use. They then survive not only as beautiful objects， but as documents of the history of cultures. These achievements are never wholly the work of individuals. Architecture is a social art.The renaissance brought about an entirely new age， not only in philosophy and literature but in the visual arts as well. In architecture， the principles and styles of ancient Greece and Rome were brought back to life and reinterpreted. They remain dominant until the 20th century.Many kinds of stone are used as building materials. Stone and marble were chosen for important monuments because they are not burnable and can be expected to endure. Stone architecture was often blended with stone sculpture. The use of stone has declined， however， because a number of other materials are more adaptable to industrial use.The complexity of modern life calls for a variety of building. More people live in mass housing and go to work in large office buildings; they spend their income in large shopping centers， send their children to many different kinds of schools， and when they are sick they go to specialized hospitals and clinics. All theses different types of buildings accumulated experiences needed by their designers.By the middle of the 20th century， modern architecture， which was influenced by new technology and mass production， was dealing with increasingly complex social needs. Important characteristics of modern architectural works are expanses of glass and the use of reinforced concrete. Advances in elevator technology， air conditioning， and electric lighting have all had important effects.EXERCISE：1. Paragraph 2_.2. Paragraph 3_.3. Paragraph 4_.4.

A man goes shopping because he needs something. His purpose is settled and decided in _51_. He knows what he wants, and his _52_ is to find it and buy it. All men simply walk into a shop and ask the assistant for what they want. If the shop has it in stock, the deal can be and often is completed in less than five minutes, with hardly any chat and to everyones _53_.For a man, slight problems may begin when the shop does not have what he wants. In that _54_ the salesman tries to sell the customer something else he offers the nearest to the article required. Good salesman brings out such a substitute with _55_: I know this jacket is not the style you want, sir, but would you like to try it for size. It _56_ to be the colour you mentioned. Few men have _57_ with this treatment, and the usual response is: This is the right colour and may be the right size, but I should be _58_ my time and yours by trying it on.For a woman, buying clothes is always done in the _59_ way. Her shopping is not often _60_ on need. She has never fully decided what she wants, and she is only having a look round. She is always open to persuasion, willing to try _61_ any number of things. Uppermost in her mind is the thought of finding something that _62_ thinks suits her. Most women have an excellent sense of value and are always on the look-out for the unexpected _63_. Faced with a roomful of dresses, a woman may easily spend an hour going from one rail to another _64_ selecting the dresses she wants to try on. It is a tiresome process, but apparently a(n) _65_one. Most dress shops provide chairs for the waiting husbands.51. A) detail B) advance C) hurry D) full52. A) objective B) need C) dream D) reason53. A) sadness B) amusement C) surprise D) satisfaction54.
