Parents.D. Zoo keepers.BPerhaps you think you could easily add to your happiness with more money. Strange as it may seem, if youre unsatisfied, the issue is not a lack of means to meet your desires but a lack of desires-not that you cannot satisfy your tastes but that you dont have enough tastes. Real riches consist of well-developed and hearty capacities to enjoy life. Most people are already swamped with things. They eat, wear, go and talk too much. They live in too big a house with too many rooms, yet their house of life is a hut.Your house of life ought to be a mansion, a royal palace. Every new taste, every additional interest, every fresh enthusiasm adds a room. Here are several rooms your house of life should have.Art should be a desire for you to develop simply because the world is full of beautiful things. If you only understood how to enjoy them and feed your spirit on them, they would make you as happy as to find plenty of ham and eggs when youre hungry.Literature, classic literature, is a beautiful, richly furnished room where you might find many an hour of rest and refreshment. To gain that love would go toward making you a rich person, for a rich person is not someone who has a library but who likes a library.Music like Mozarts and Bachs shouldnt be absent. Real riches are of the spirit. And when youve brought that spirit up to where classical music feeds it and makes you a little drunk, you have increased your thrills and bettered them. And life is a matter of thrills.Sports, without which you remain poor, mean a lot in life. No matter who you are. you would be more human, and your house of life would be better supported against the bad days, if you could, and did, play a bit.Whatever rooms you might add to your house of life, the secret of enjoying life is to keep adding.23. The author intends to tell us that_.A. true happiness lies in achieving wealth by fair meansB.true happiness es from spiritual richesC. big houses can in a sense bring richness of lifeD. big houses are peoples most valued possessions24. The underlined sentence in Paragraph 2 probably implies that_.A. however materially rich, they never seem to be satisfiedB. however materially rich, they remain spiritually poorC. though their house is big, they prefer a simple lifeD. though their house is big, it seems to be a cage25. It can be learned from the passage that_.A. more money brings more happinessB. literature can enrich your spiritual lifeC. art is needed to make your house beautifulD. sports contribute mainly to your physical fitness26. What would be the best title for the passage?A. House of Life B. Secret of WealthC. Rest and Refreshment D. Interest and EnthusiasmCAn Invisible Smile Mr Dawson was an old man who always plained a lot, and everyone in town knew itKids ever went into his yard to pick a delicious apple. Old Dawson, they said, would e after them with his gun One Friday, 12-year-old Janet was going to stay all night with her friend Amy. They had to walk by Dawsons house on the way to Amys house, but as they got close, Janet saw him sitting on his front porch and suggested they cross over to the other side of the street. Like most of the children，Janet was scared of the old man Amy said not to worry, Mr Dawson wouldnt hurt anyone. Still, Janet was growing more nervous with each step closer to the old mans house. When they got close enough, Dawson looked up with his usual frown, but when he saw it was Amy, a broad smile changed his entire face as he said, “Hello, Miss Amy. I see youve got a little friend with you today. ” Amy smiled back and told him Janet was staying overnight and they were going to listen to music and play games. Mr Dawson said that sounded fun and offered them each a fresh picked apple off his tree. They gladly accepted. Mr Dawson had the best apples in the whole town When they left, Janet asked Amy, “Everyone says hes the meanest man in town. How e he was so nice to us?” Amy explained that when she first started walking past his house he wasnt very friendly and she was afraid of him, but she pretended he was wearing an invisible smile and so she always smiled back at him. It took a while, but one day he half-smiled back at her After some more time, he started smiling real smiles and then started talking to her. Just a “hello” at first, then more. She said he always offered her an apple and was always very kind “An invisible smile? ”questioned Janet “Yes，”answered Amy, “my grandma told me that if I pretended I wasnt afraid and pretended he was smiling an invisible smile at me and I smiled back at him, sooner or later he would really smile. Grandma says smiles are contagious” If we remember what Amys grandma said - everyone wears an invisible smile, we too will find that were always on the go trying to acplish so much, arent we?Its so easy to get caught up in everyday life that we forget how simple it can be to bring cheer to ourselves and others. Giving a smile away takes so little effort and time. Lets make sure that were not the ones that others have to pretend to be wearing an invisible smile27.

All of the meaningful parts of a culture are passed on to different generations through tradition or social learning. 31 Culture exists in agricultural as well as industrialized societies. Culture is necessary for the survival and existence of human beings. Practically everything humans know, think, value, feel, and do is learned through taking part in a sociocultural system. 32 Here is one of the cases of children growing up apart from human society. In the province of Midnapore in India, the director of a childrens home was told by local villagers that there were “ghosts” in the forest. Upon looking into the case, the director found that two children, one about eight years old and the other about six years old, appeared to have been living a pack of wolves in the forest. 33 In his diary, the director describes his first view of Kamala (as the older child was named) and Amala ( the name given to the younger child): Kamala was a terrible-looking being, the head, a big ball of something covering the shoulders. 34 Their eyes were bright and sharp, unlike human eyes. They were very fond of raw meat and raw milk. Gradually, as they got stronger, they began going on all fours, and afterwards began to run on all fours, just like squirrels. Children learn human language in the same way they learn other kinds of human behaviorby taking part in a cultural munity. 35 A.From this viewpoint, all human groups have a culture.B.Close at its heels there came another terrible creature exactly like the first, but smaller in size.C.Human beings can only develop human abilities by the local people.D.This statement is well supported by some well-written cases.E.These children were the ghosts described by the local people.F.Culture refers only to the high art and classical music of a particular society.G.They learn a certain human languages as well as certain kinds of human behavior through their membership in a certain cultural munity.第三部分 英语知识运用 （共两节，满分45分）第一节 完型填空 （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。We lived in an old building on a farm years ago.
