It transcended the stock market. There just is no other opportunity to buy a painting like this，” Mr Marion said.Irises had been owned by John Whitney Payson, the heir to one of Americas biggest fortunes.His mother, Joan, bought it for $80，000 in 1947, and hung it over the fireplace in her living room.After her death in 1975, the painting was displayed in a gallery Mr Payson built in his mothers memory.He said he decided to sell it after the recordbreaking Sunflowers auction because he felt he could not guarantee the safety of a painting potentially worth $40 m or more.语篇解读：梵高的一幅画卖了四千九百万美元，使之成为艺术品拍卖的世界纪录。这个最终价格是这幅名为Irises的作品的预期售价的两倍多。1How much more was Irises bought than Sunflowers?A$49 m. B$40 m.C$9 m. DMore than $9 m.解析：选D细节理解题。文中第一段提到Irises卖了$49 m，第八段提到Sunflowers卖价低于$40 m，所以测算出二者差价在$9 m以上，故选D。2How much will the anonymous purchaser pay to the auction house?A$4.9 m. B$10 m.C$5.39 m. D$13.9m.解析：选A细节理解题。第三段提到匿名买者必须付10%的代理费给拍卖行。由此可以推算出他付了$4.9 m的代理费，故选A。3What can we know from the fifth paragraph?AVan Gogh was abnormal in mind before he committed suicide.BVan Gogh was in a good health.CIrises was painted in SaintRemy mental asylum.DIrises was set in SaintRemy mental asylum in London.解析：选A推理判断题。文中第五段提到Irises描述了SaintRemy精神病院的花园，梵高曾是这里的病人。故可以推测出梵高精神不正常，故选A。4Whats the stock market like when Irises was sold?AIt could bring a lot of money then.BIt was just awakened.CIt was a “bull market” then.DIt was a “bear market” then.解析：选D细节理解题。文章第九段提到艺术价格反映了经济状态，所以在股票市场低迷时，Irises并没有被期望获取这么巨大的资金，故选D。BHost says: If youre happy and you know itBeing happy seems to be important to a lot of people. The chase of happiness is stated to be an “absolute right” in the American Declaration of Independence. But what makes us happy?In my opinion getting older doesnt necessarily make you unhappy, and on the whole (at least in England) were happier than we used to be. In fact, happiness isnt connected with age one way or another, but it is connected with (among other things) being a white, British male, owning your own home (which you share with the other half), being welleducated, having an active social life and going to church.Christer Allgulander writes, “The findings that men are happier than women deserve further study. Darwin said that happy people are more likely to survive.” Interesting.Bruce Altona says：Active social life and going to church may be a problem for me, though as a dog walker I guess I get to meet other dog owners once in a while. And does “owning your own home” mean that its fully paid off? Oops, there goes another point. The biggest surprise about this was the difference between the sexes. I have worked in market research before, and I imagine that the same problems of question control researchers.Mightythor says：In_these_kinds_of_studies,_it_seems_like_what_you_find_depends_on_what_youre_looking_for. Other studies have reported that happiness links with health (not even mentioned here), wealth and youth. I saw a report once that said kids who believe in Santa are happier than kids who dont. For what its worth .Richard P. Grant says：I have to agree with Mightythor, example of a study conducted by Dr Ronit Peled where being happy might protect against cancer. However, it is universal to know that happiness has nothing to do with age. But there is a huge difference between wanting to be happy and just being happy.语篇解读：快乐是什么？网友对“快乐”表达了不同的看法。5According to Host happiness_Awill become less as one gets olderBwont be influenced by a persons increasing ageCcompletely depends on a persons skin color and sexDwill be greatest if one is married with a house of his/her own解析：选B细节理解题。Host所发帖子的第二段第一句中的“getting older doesnt necessarily make you unhappy”说明，在他看来，年龄的增长不会成为阻碍快乐的因素。6Why does the Host mention Darwins words?ATo show the importance of active attitude in life.BTo encourage all of us to be active when we are in danger.CTo make us realize the secret to the development of society.DTo prove men worked better than women in history.解析：选A推理判断题。所有的帖子都是在讨论“快乐”，这里引用达尔文的“适者生存”的理论来强调积极乐观地面对人生的重要性。7What can we learn from the words of Bruce Altona?AHe believes owning his own house makes him happiest.BHe seldom walks his dog and doesnt like to make friends.CHe thinks only women regard owing a home as the happiest thing.DHe thinks different sexes have different attitude to owing a home.解析：选D推理判断题。Bruce Altona提到了自己的消遣并对是否拥有属于自己的房子就会感到快乐给出了自己的看法。D项表述和“biggest surprise about this was the difference between the sexes”一致。8The underlined words of Mightythor mean_Apeople anxious about happiness are likely to be in bad healthBdifferent people look for happiness from their studyCa persons happiness depends on his or her life aimDwealth is always received at the cost of youth解析：选C句意理解题。Mightythor对待快乐的看法是，你的追求决定了你的快乐目标。画线句的“depends on what youre looking for”和C项表述一致。9By saying “wanting to be happy and just being happy” Richard P. Grant means_Ahe believes being happy can defeat everything including cancerBhe has realized that getting old can defeat unhappy attitudeChe expects himself to be a person of being happy every dayDhe thinks the course of creating happiness is more valuable解析：选D推理判断题。“a huge difference between wanting to be happy and just being happy”说明他认为创造快乐的过程比最后的结果更使自己感到快乐。湖南专用.阅读理解(同江苏、安徽专用B篇).阅读简答You might think that “global warming” means nothing more than a rise in the worlds temperature. But rising sea levels caused by it have resulted in the first evacuation (撤离) of an island nation the citizens of Tuvalu will have to leave their homeland.During the 20th century, sea level rose 812 inches. As a result, Tuvalu has experienced lowland flooding of salt water which has polluted the countrys drinking water.Paani Laupepa, a Tuvaluan government official, reported to the Earth Policy Institute that the nation suffered an unusually high number of fierce storms in the past ten years. Many scientists connect higher surface water temperatures resulting from global warming to greater and more damaging storms.Laupepa expressed dissatisfaction with the United States for refusing to sign the Kyoto Protocol, an international agreement calling for industrialized nations to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions (导致温室效应的气体排放), which are a main cause of global warming. “By refusing to sign the agreement, the US has effectively taken away the freedom of future generations of Tuvaluans to live where their forefathers have lived for thousands of years，” Laupepa told the BBC.Tuvalu has asked Australia and New Zealand to allow the gradual move of its people to both countries.Tuvalu is not the only country that is vulnerable (易受影响的) to rising sea levels.
