The class sit in a circle with their eyes shut and they count from one to ten: someone starts, the next voice es from the far right, a third from the other side.The aim of the game is to listen for an opportunity to shout out the number without clashing (冲突) with another voice or leaving a pause. On the first try, most of the young Germans try to be first, while a few are too shy to join in, but by the fifth time round, they develop a rhythm (节奏).The message: give other people space but also confidently claim your own. This is a requirement for social well-being.The Willy Hellpach School in Heidelberg is the first in the nation to develop a happiness course.It is intended for students preparing for university entrance exams.“The course isnt there to make you happy,” Ernst Fritz-Schubert, the school principal, warned pupils, “but rather to help you discover the ways to bee happy.”Cooking a meal together is one of the class exercises. Improving body language under the guidance of two professional actresses is another.The course is taught for three periods a week. Although its the happy subject, the pupils themselves insist it is no laughing matter.“In the first period, we had to each say something positive about another member of the class and about ourselves. No laughing at people,” said Fanny, 17.Research by the school shows it is not the first to start happiness classes: they also exist at some US universities, mainly based on positive thinking, using findings from studies of depression.21Whats the writing purpose of this passage?A. To describe all the traditional courses.B. To introduce the happiness course.C. To develop the readers interest in happiness.D. To help students struggle against being sad.22According to the passage, the happiness course is _.A. created by the Willy Hellpach SchoolB. to make all the students happy all the timeC. required to be taken by the first year studentsD. to help students discover the way to happiness23It can be inferred from the passage that _.A. the students self-respect can also improve happinessB. the students just took the course as a laughing matterC. the students can certainly bee happy after the courseD. the students waste time learning something without valueDear Anne,I like your column very much. I met a girl four years ago at a gym. She was the one who originally approached me and we became good friends. Then one day, she made me really angry, so angry that I just left and we never saw each other again.Looking back, I really regret ending things that way. It was a cowardly act on my part, but I had a terrible temper at that time and let the smallest thing get to me. Recently, Ive started thinking about her again and I looked up her e-mail address. I thought about writing to say “Hi” and apologize for what I did but Im not sure. She could still be angry with me, or maybe she has forgotten me. I feel very lonely and I want to see her again. What should I do?TomDear Tom,She may still be angry with you, and she may have forgotten the friendship between you, but that doesnt mean she doesnt deserve an apology. Tom, how many of us have wished for the day that someone who treated us badly saw the light and finally owned up? But we rarely get that kind of expected result. So sure, e-mail her and say “Hi”.Tell her you have been thinking about her and just want to apologize for getting angry and being a coward by walking out on her. But you should remember if she thinks youre apologizing just because you are lonely, she might dismiss your sincerity. Therefore, dont mention that. If she wants to see you again, shell make sure that happens.Even if she doesnt want to be your friend, I can assure you, shell appreciate the gesture. And it might make you think twice next time you get angry.Anne24In the letter, Anne is probably _.A. Toms friend B. Toms teacherC. a woman reporter D. a columnist25What is troubling Tom？A. He cant get in touch with his former friend.B. He regrets letting his former friend leave him.C. He doesnt know whether to apologize to his former friend.D. He is uncertain whether his former friend can forgive him.26Which of the following is what Anne advises Tom to do?A. Tell her that he expects to see her again.B. Express his sincere apology to her.C. Tell her that he is very lonely.D. Beg her to give him another chance.27Anne wants to tell Tom that _.A. an apology is better late than neverB. he should think twice before he gets angryC. its no use crying over spilt milkD. he should answer for his wrong doingsIt was a cold night in Washington, D. C., and I was heading back to the hotel when a man approached me. He asked if l would give him some money so he could get something to eat. Id read the signs Dont give money to beggars. So I shook my head and kept walking.I wasnt prepared for a reply, but he said, I really am homeless and I really am hungry! You can e with me and watch me eat! But I kept on walking.The incident bothered me for the rest of the week. I had money in my pocket and it wouldnt have killed me to hand over a buck or two even if he had been lying. Flying back to Anchorage, I couldnt help thinking of him. I tried to rationalize (找借口)my failure to help by thinking government agencies, churches and charities were there to feed him. Besides, youre not supposed to give money to beggars.Somewhere over Seattle, I started to write my weekly garden column for The Anchorage Daily News. Out of the blue, I came up with an idea. Beans Cafe, the soup kitchen in Anchorage, feeds hundreds of hungry Alaskans every day. Why not try to get all my readers to plant one row in their gardens dedicated to Beans? Dedicate a row and take it down to Beans. Clean and simple.The idea began to take off. Readers would fax or call me when they got something in their garden. Those who only grew flowers donated them. Food for the spirit.In 1995, the Garden Writers Association of America held their annual convention in Anchorage and after learning of Anchorages program, Plant a Row for Beans became Plant a Row for the Hungry. The original idea was to have every member of the Garden Writers Association of America write or talk about planting a row for the hungry sometime during the month of April.As more and more people started working with the Plant a Row idea, new changes appeared unexpectedly. Many panies gave free seed to customers and displayed the logo, which also appeared in national gardening publications. Row markers with the Plant a Row logo were delivered to gardeners to set apart their Row for the Hungry.Garden editor Joan Jackson, supported by The San Jose Mercury News and Californias nearly year-round growing season, raised more than 30,000 pounds of fruits and vegetables her first year, and showed GWAA how the program could really work. Texas fruit farms donated food to their local food bank after being inspired by Plant a Row. Today the program continues to thrive and grow.I am surprised that millions of Americans are threatened by hunger. If every gardener in America-and were seventy million strong-plants one row for the hungry, we can make quite a decrease in the number of neighbors who dont have enough to eat. Maybe then I will stop feeling guilty about abandoning a hungry man I could have helped.28What does the underlined phrase out of the blue mean?A. a bit disappointed B. suddenlyC. as a matter of fact D. attentively29The program has been supported by many farmers, journalists and people in different fields for many years. They usually donate many things to it except_ .A. money B. flowers C. seeds D. beans30Which is WRONG according to the passage?A. In the eyes of most people, the program can really help the people in need.B. Nowadays, the program is no longer a regional one, and it arouses the attention of many farmers, gardeners and journalists in the nation.C. It occurred to the author that they could run such a program the moment he gave the beggar nothing.D. The author felt relieved and surprised when he saw the program turned into a nation-wide one.31Which do you think is the best title to the passages?A. Plant a row for the hungryB. How to help othersC. A story of a columnistD. Not for fame and wealth阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。Two of the hardest things to acplish in this world are to acquire wealth by honest effort and, having gained it, to learn how to use it properly. Recently I walked into the locker room of a rather well-known golf club after finishing a round. It was in the late afternoon and most of the members had left for their homes. But a half-dozen or so men past middle age were still seated at tables talking aimlessly and drinking more than was good for them. These same men can be found there day after day, and, strangely enough, each one of these men had been a man of affairs and wealth, successful in business and respected in the munity if material prosperity were the chief necessity for happiness, then each one should have been happy. Yet, it seemed to me, something very important was missing, or else there would not have been the constant effort to escape the realities of life through Scotch and soda. They knew, each one of them, that their productivity had ceased(停止)When a fruit tree ceases to bear its fruit, it is dying. And it is even so with man.What is the answer to a long and happy existence in this world of ours? I think I found it long ago in a passage from the book of Genesis which caught my eye while I was looking through my Bible. The words were few, but they became memorably impressed on my mind:“In the sweat of the face shall you eat the bread”To me, that has been a challenge from my earliest recollections (memories). In fact, the battle of life, of existence, is a challenge to everyone. The immortal words of St. Paul, too, have been and always will be a great inspiration to me. At the end of the road I want to be able to feel that I have fought a good fight, I have finished the course, I have kept the faith.32Which of the following is indicated in the first paragraph?A. Wealth results from honest effort.BThe men seated at tables in the locker room are lost in the significance of life.CFor some people, no way can be found to escape the realities of life other than Scotch and soda.DThe men acquire wealth by planting fruit trees.33 The underlined sentence “In the sweat of the face shall you eat the bread” means “_”.A. Bread tastes delicious when sweat pours off your faceBNo pains, no gainsCFailure is the mother of successDBread es from the sweat on your face34We learn from the passage that the author _.Awas a wealthy person in the munityBheld a positive attitude towards an active lifeCwas fond of associating with celebrities (名人)Dkept a secret of the reason why he was so impressed35What is implied in the passage by the writer?ATo use wealth properly, eat, drink and be merry.BWhere there is a will, there is a way.CAs life is but like a dream, a man is like a fruit tree.DIf you cease to struggle, you cease to live.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。From time to time, we all get a bit down. Maybe we are feeling bad because were not doing well with our goals. There are many reasons for feeling down, but Im not able to discuss all of them. 36 . Make a list. Sometimes we are sad simply because we are troubled by all the things we have to do. 37 . Make a list of the most pressing things you have to do. Thus youre getting things under control. You can see, right in front of you, what you need to do, and that can pick up your mood. 38 .Youve made a list, and you still feel puzzled? Well, get started on the first thing you need to do. Once you get into action, youll feel better. And once you start doing something, you will feel much better than lying around feeling sorry for yourself. 39 . I like Brown Eyed Girl, the Kinks, the Ramones, or an upbeat Beatles tune. You might have your own brand of feel-good music. Whatever it is, let yourself move to the beat. It may just be what the doctor ordered. Talk about it. Get a best friend, family member or coworker you can talk to. 40 . It can also help you work out the reasons youre feeling down.A. Take action.B. Play some lively music.C. Get out of the house and do something.D. Getting things off your chest makes a big difference.E. Start simply by picking up a piece of paper and a pen.F. Do whatever you need to do to feel good about yourself.G. What I can talk about are some things that have worked for me.第三部分 英语知识运用（共两节，满分45分）第一节 完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。We live in a world where there is so much petition.
