天津一中2024-2025-2高三年级英语统练10 第一部分：英语知识运用（共两节，满分45分） 第一节：单项填空（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 从A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 1. —Do you mind if I smoke here? —________ This is a non-smoking restaurant. A. I’d rather you didn’t B. It’s up to you C. Never mind D. Of course not 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】考查情景交际。句意：——我在这里抽烟你不介意吧？ ——我希望你不要。 这是一家禁烟餐厅。A. I’d rather you didn’t. 我希望你不要做那件事；B. It’s up to you由你自己决定；C. Never mind不介意，不要紧； D. Of course not当然不。根据后文的解释中non-smoking，这里是禁止吸烟的，应该是对对方的吸烟是拒绝的，希望对方不要吸烟，A项表示了不希望对方吸烟，符合语境。D项虽然是否定，但那是对Do you mind的直接回应，表示自己不介意对方吸烟，不符合下文语境。故选A项。 2.

How can I finish so much work in such a short time?”可知，说话者请求李先生要通情达理些，因为期望在如此短的时间内完成这么多工作似乎不合理。故选C。 4.

A. as if B. in case C. as long as D. even though 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】考查固定短语辨析。句意：我的祖父母一直保持着晚饭后一起散步的习惯，尽管他们现在已经八十多岁了。A. as if好像；B. in case以防；C. as long as只要；D. even though尽管，虽然。由keeping the habit of taking a walk和they’re in their eighties可知，空格处意为“尽管，虽然”，引导让步状语从句，故选D。 5.

Fashion Magazines? Music Videos? One American photographer is finding beauty in unexpected places. And a new documentary about his work might help change the traditional standards of "who" is beautiful. Rick Guidotti put aside his career as a fashion Photographer to turn his lens (镜头)to people living with genetic, physical and behavioral differences. He says what changed his perception of beauty was a chance encounter with an albino(白化病) girl. "I was just tired of people telling me who was beautiful. Every season that face would change but1 was always told who was beautiful. As an artist, I don't see beauty just on covers of magazines. I see it everywhere. So that was my initial intention that opened my eyes a little wider and wider." Said Guidotti. Guidotti has created Positive Exposure, a not-for-profit organization that uses photography and video to transform public perceptions and promote a world where differences are celebrated. Guidotti and Positive Exposure are featured in a new documentary called On Beauty. The cast and crew recently hosted a screening at Georgetown University in Washington. One of the women featured in the film is Jayne Waithera. “I never thought I was beautiful because nobody said that to me, but meeting him was my profound moment. I remember that particular day he took my picture and I felt so good like I felt there's somebody who, really loves me and sees me for who I am and who sees me more than my condition.” said Waithera. The documentary is the brainchild of producer Joanna Rudnick. After seeing Rick's photos, she decided to tell his story. Joanna and Rick are traveling from city to city to promote On Beauty. They say their tour is not about money, it's about the message: “As I travel from community to community, I'm taking photographs and I'm empowering individuals with a positive sense of who they are. They're seeing beauty in their reflection but I'm also empowering their families and they in turn are empowering their communities as well. All is based on the philosophy of change how you see, see how you change." 41. Why did Rick change his career? A. Because he couldn't earn enough money from his former career. B. Because the beauty on covers of magazines are not beautiful. C. Because he wanted to create his own company. D. Because his comprehension of beauty changed owing to an albino girl. 42. What can we know about Positive Exposure? A. It brings a lot of money for Rick. B. It makes the public more beautiful. C. It welcomes differences in the world. D. It makes photography more popular. 43. What does the author want to tell us by mentioning Jayne in Paragraph 5? A. Jayne was beautiful indeed. B. Photographs gave Jayne a positive sense of who she was. C. It was unfair that nobody discovered Jayne's beauty. D. Jayne's picture was more beautiful than herself. 44. What does the author mainly intend to tell us in the last paragraph? A We should travel frequently. B. Community has a great influence on everyone. C. We should make contributions to our community. D. Your attitude to seeing the world decides your behavior. 45. What do you know about Rick Guidotti based on the passage? A. He's a talented photographer with a firmly established reputation. B. He's a social worker devoting himself to helping the disadvantaged. C. He conveys a new concept of beauty by means of a documentary. D. He promotes people' s taste of beauty through his fashion photographs. 【答案】41. D 42. C 43. B 44. D 45. C 【解析】 【分析】本文是记叙文。Guidotti放弃时尚摄影师的职业，把镜头转向那些在基因、身体和行为上都有差异的人。他创立Positive Exposure希望利用摄影和录像改变公众的看法，推动一个赞美差异的世界。他通过拍摄的纪录片让人们积极认识到自己的美，然后去美化世界。 【41题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段Rick Guidotti put aside his career as a fashion Photographer to turn his lens (镜头)to people living with genetic, physical and behavioral differences. He says what changed his perception of beauty was a chance encounter with an albino(白化病) girl.可知Rick Guidotti抛开时尚摄影师的职业，把镜头转向那些在基因、身体和行为上都有差异的人。他说，是一次偶遇一个白化病女孩，改变了他对美的看法。这个女孩改变了他对美的理解，所以Rick Guidotti改变了自己的职业。故选D。 【42题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段Guidotti has created Positive Exposure, a not-for-profit organization that uses photography and video to transform public perceptions and promote a world where differences are celebrated.可知Guidotti创立的Positive Exposure，是一个非营利组织，利用摄影和录像改变公众的看法，推动一个赞美差异的世界。由此可见Positive Exposure赞美世界的不同，故选C。 【43题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段中Jayne说的话“I never thought I was beautiful because nobody said that to me, but meeting him was my profound moment. I remember that particular day he took my picture and I felt so good like I felt there's somebody who, really loves me and sees me for who I am and who sees me more than my condition.”可知Guidotti给她拍照意义深远，那天Jayne感觉很好，就好像有人真的爱她，看到了真实的她，而不是她的身体状况。这让她对自己有了积极的认识，故选B。 【44题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“As I travel from community to community, I'm taking photographs and I'm empowering individuals with a positive sense of who they are. They're seeing beauty in their reflection but I'm also empowering their families and they in turn are empowering their communities as well. All is based on the philosophy of change how you see, see how you change.”可知他们奔走于社区之间，在拍照同时赋予人们一种积极的意识，让他们知道自己是谁。通过看到自己的美，也赋予了他们家庭力量，而他们反过来也赋予了他们社区力量。这一切都基于你怎么看待世界的改变及怎么去改变。作者通过这些告诉我们：你看待世界的态度决定了你的行为。故选D。 【45题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段Guidotti has created Positive Exposure, a not-for-profit organization that uses photography and video to transform public perceptions and promote a world where differences are celebrated.和最后一段They say their tour is not about money, it's about the message: “As I travel from community to community, I'm taking photographs and I'm empowering individuals with a positive sense of who they are.”可知Guidotti放弃自己的职业创立Positive Exposure，是希望利用摄影和录像改变公众的看法，推动一个赞美差异的世界。他们奔走于社区之间，目的是传递信息，在拍照的同时赋予人们一种积极的意识，让他们知道自己是谁，认识到自己的美。由此推知Guidotti通过纪录片传达了一种新的美的概念，故选C。 C The temperature of the sun is over 5,000 degrees Fahrenheit at the surface, but it rises to perhaps more than 16 million degrees at the center. The sun is so much hotter than the earth that matter can exist only as a gas, except at the core. In the core of the sun, the pressures are so great against the gases that, despite the high temperature, there may be a small solid core. However, no one really knows, since the center of the sun can never be directly observed. Solar astronomers do know that the sun is divided into five layers or zones. Starting at the outside and going down into the sun, the zones are the corona, chromosphere, photosphere, convection zone and finally the core. The first three zones are regarded as the sun’s atmosphere ends and the main body of the sun begins. The sun’s outermost layer begins about 10,000 miles above the visible surface and goes outward for millions of miles. This is the only part of the sun that can be seen during an eclipse such as the one in February 1979. At any other time, the corona can be seen only when special instruments are used on cameras and telescopes to shut out the glare of the sun’s rays. The corona is a brilliant, pearly white, filmy light, about as bright as the full moon. Its beautiful rays are a sensational sight during an eclipse. The corona’s rays flash out in a brilliant fan that has wispy spikelike (一束束穗状) rays near the sun’s north and south poles. The corona is thickest at the sun’s equator. The corona rays are made up of gases streaming outward at tremendous speeds and reaching a temperature of more than 2 million degrees Fahrenheit. The rays of gas thin out as they reach the space around the planets. By the time the sun’s corona rays reach the earth, they are weak and invisible. 46. Matter on the sun can exist only in the form of gas because of the sun’s ______. A. size B. age C. location D. temperature 47. With what topic is the second paragraph mainly concerned? A. How the sun evolved. B. The structure of the sun. C. Why scientists study the sun. D. The distance of the sun from the planets. 48. All of the following are parts of the sun’s atmosphere EXCEPT the _______. A. corona B. chromospheres C. photosphere D. core 49. According to the passage, as the corona rays reach the planets, they become _______. A. hotter B. clearer C. thinner D. stronger 50. The paragraph following the passage most likely discusses which of the following? A. The remaining layers of the sun. B. The evolution of the sun to its present form. C. The eclipse of February 1979. D. Scientists will cost more money on researching the corona. 【答案】46. D 47. B 48. D 49. C 50. A 【解析】 【分析】试题分析：本文是科普类阅读，讲述太阳上的温度及它的结构是如何的； 【46题详解】 D细节理解题。根据第一段提到The sun is so much hotter than the earth that matter can exist only as a gas,因为太阳温度如此的高以至于只能以气体的形式存在，故选D项。 【47题详解】 B，主旨题。第二段第一句话Solar astronomers do know that the sun is divided into five layers or zones.为此段的中心句，作者提出，太阳分五层，然后就围绕着这五个层展开论述，故选B项。 【48题详解】 D 推断题。根据第第二段提到Starting at the outside and going down into the sun, the zones are the corona, chromosphere, photosphere, convection zone and finally the core. The first three zones are regarded as the sun’s atmosphere ends and the main body of the sun begins.可知太阳的大气层，只包括the corona, chromosphere, photosphere,这三部分，故选D 项。 【49题详解】 C 细节理解题。根据第五段提到The rays of gas thin out as they reach the space around the planets.当射线到达行星外层时，会变弱，故选C项。 【50题详解】 A推断题。通过对于文章结构的分析，我们可以发现第二段对太阳的构造做了总的论述，共分五层，后三段接了日冕，是对第二段内容的展开，显然后面应该继续介绍太阳的其它层，故选A项。 D Many intelligent people equate happiness with fun. The truth is that fun and happiness have little or nothing in common. Fun is what we experience during the act. Happiness is what we experience after an act. It is deeper, more abiding emotion. Going to an amusement park of ball game, watching a movie or television, are fun activities that help us relax, temporarily forget our problems and maybe even laugh. But they do not bring happiness, because their positive effects end when the fun ends. The way people cling to the belief that a fun-filled, pain free life equals happiness actually decreases their chances of ever attaining real happiness. If fun and pleasure are equated with happiness, then pain must be equated with unhappiness. But in fact, the opposite is true: more times than not, things that lead to happiness involve some pain. As a result, many people avoid the very endeavors that are the source of true happiness. They fear the pain inevitably brought by such things as marriage, raising children, professional achievement, religious commitment, charitable work, self-improvement. Ask a bachelor why he resists marriage even though he finds dating to be less and less satisfying. If he’s honest, he will tell you that he is afraid of making a commitment. For a commitment is in fact quite painful. The single life is filled with fun, adventure and excitement. Marriage has such movement, but they are not its most distinguishing features. Similarly, couples who choose not to have children are deciding in favor of painless fun over painful happiness. They can dine out whenever they want, travel wherever they want and sleep as late as they want. Couples with infant children are lucky to get a whole night’s sleep or a three-day vacation. I don’t know any parents would choose the word fun to describe raising children. But couples who decide not to have children never experience the pleasure of hugging them or tucking them into bed at night. They never know the joy of watching a child grow up or of playing with a grandchild. Difficult endeavors — writing, raising children, trying to do good in the world — will bring us more happiness than can ever be found in fun, that least permanent of things. The moment we understand that fun does not bring happiness, we began to lead our lives differently. The effect can be, quite literally, life-transforming. 51. In the last sentence of the first paragraph, the word “It” refers to ______. A. fun B. happiness C. act D. truth 52. Fun activities include all the following except ______. A. playing cards B. playing football C. dancing D. helping the poor 53. According to the passage, which of the following statements is true? A. Couples who have children own true happiness. B. There are some similarities between fun and happiness C. Couples who don’t want to have children own true happiness D. Men who like to live a single life are the most happy ones of the world. 54. It can be concluded from the passage that happiness is ______. A. Utopian B. ever-lasting C. temporary D. complicated 55. What is the passage mainly about? A. The ways to get happiness B. The secret of true happiness C. Fun and its effects D. The happiness of raising children. 【答案】51. B 52. D 53. A 54. B 55. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了乐趣和幸福几乎没有共同之处。乐趣是我们在行为过程中所体验到的。 幸福是我们在行为之后所经历的。它是一种更深刻、更持久的情感。文章主要就什么是幸福以及获得幸福的方式而展开，论述了幸福的秘密。 【51题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第一段中“Happiness is what we experience after an act. (幸福是我们在行为之后所经历的)”以及画线词后文“is deeper, more abiding emotion.”可知，幸福是我们在行为之后所经历的，幸福是一种更深刻、更持久的情感。故it指的是“幸福”。故选B。 【52题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“Going to an amusement park of ball game, watching a movie or television, are fun activities that help us relax, temporarily forget our problems and maybe even laugh. But they do not bring happiness, because their positive effects end when the fun ends.(去游乐场看球、看电影或看电视都是很有趣的活动，可以帮助我们放松，暂时忘记我们的问题，甚至可能大笑。但它们不能带来幸福，因为当乐趣结束时，它们的积极影响也就结束了)”可推知，D选项“帮助穷人”不是有趣的活动。故选D。 【53题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“But couples who decide not to have children never experience the pleasure of hugging them or tucking them into bed at night. They never know the joy of watching a child grow up or of playing with a grandchild. Difficult endeavors — writing, raising children, trying to do good in the world — will bring us more happiness than can ever be found in fun, that least permanent of things.(但是那些决定不生孩子的夫妇从来没有体验过拥抱孩子或晚上哄孩子上床的快乐。他们永远也体会不到看着孩子长大或与外孙玩耍的快乐。 艰难的努力——写作、抚养孩子、为世界做点好事——会给我们带来比乐趣更多的快乐，而乐趣是最不持久的东西)”可知，A选项“有孩子的夫妻拥有真正的幸福”正确。故选A。 【54题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“Happiness is what we experience after an act. It is deeper, more abiding emotion.(幸福是我们在行为之后所经历的。它是一种更深刻、更持久的情感)”可推知，幸福是永恒的。故选B。 【55题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Many intelligent people equate happiness with fun. The truth is that fun and happiness have little or nothing in common. Fun is what we experience during the act. Happiness is what we experience after an act. It is deeper, more abiding emotion.(许多聪明的人把幸福与乐趣等同起来。事实上，乐趣和幸福几乎没有共同之处。乐趣是我们在行为过程中所体验到的。幸福是我们在行为之后所经历的。它是一种更深刻、更持久的情感)”结合文章主要就什么是幸福以及获得幸福的方式而展开，论述了幸福的秘密。可知，这篇文章主要讲的是真正幸福的秘密。故选B。 阅读表达（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 阅读短文，按照题目要求用英语回答问题。 “Are you crazy? You finally retired Why would you work in a hospital again?” My friends asked me when I decided to return to nursing after forty years of working in the career and four years of retirement. Last week, I joined the Volunteer Registered Nurse program. My job was to care for patients at the bedside. On my first day, the charge nurse said, “Mr. Jones needs a bath and some extra attention. He’s disappointed that he’s not going home today.” When seeing him, I gave him my biggest smile and introduced myself. I asked if he would like to take a shower and he shook his head sadly. “Taking a shower may make you feel better,” I encouraged. He agreed. When he finished it, I said, “Would you like a foot-soak (泡脚) while you sit in your chair?” “That sounds good,” He said. As he soaked his feet, I expressed my sympathy for him and explained the possible reason why he needed to stay a day longer. I helped dry his feet and massaged (按摩) them. Then I tidied his room. After that, I asked, “Is there anything else I can do for you?” He replied, “No, I believe you have done a great deal. Thank you. I feel so much better now than when you came in here.” I felt I had made a small difference. But I was not done yet. I prepared to nurse another patient, a small man. His voice was weak. The patient care technician (技师) was encouraging him to eat something from the lunch plate in front of him. I guessed the patient had tried to use the spoon but found it was futile. It was obvious that he had no strength in his weak arms to make it. Seeing that, I told the patient care technician, “You’re also busy with other patients. I’ll help him.” Then I assisted the patient in having lunch. When I helped him, he said, “You understand me but many others don’t.” My heart leaped. For me, nursing is the best job. It has enriched my life and made it meaningful. Now, I am still a nurse. I love my career and never regret choosing the profession. 56. What were the author’s friends wondering? (no more than 10 words) ___________________________________________________________________ 57. What did the author do when Mr. Jones was soaking his feet? (no more than 15 words) ___________________________________________________________________ 58. What did Mr. Jones think of the things that the author did for him? (no more than 5 words) ___________________________________________________________________ 59. What does the underlined word in Paragraph 5 mean? (no more than 1 word) ___________________________________________________________________ 60. What do you think of the author and why?

She expressed sympathy and explained the reason for his stay. 58. They were helpful. 59. Useless. 60. She is responsible because she helped patients with patience and love. 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述退休护士重返岗位照顾病人的经历。 【56题详解】 考查细节理解。根据第一段““Are you crazy? You finally retired. Why would you work in a hospital again?” My friends asked me when I decided to return to nursing after forty years of working in the career and four years of retirement. (“你疯了吗？你终于退休了，为什么还要再去医院工作？”当我决定在从事护理工作四十年、退休四年之后重返岗位时，朋友们这样问我)”可知，朋友疑惑的是退休后为何再次从事医院工作。 故答案为：Why the author worked in a hospital again after retirement. 【57题详解】 考查细节理解。根据第四段“As he soaked his feet, I expressed my sympathy for him and explained the possible reason why he needed to stay a day longer. (当他泡脚的时候，我表达了对他的同情，并解释了他为什么需要再多住一天的原因)”可知，作者在Mr. Jones泡脚时表达同情并解释留院原因。故答案为：She expressed sympathy and explained the reason for his stay. 【58题详解】 考查推理判断。根据第六段“I feel so much better now than when you came in here. (现在我感觉比你刚进来时好多了)”可知，他认为作者的照顾有帮助。故答案为：They were helpful. 【59题详解】 考查词义猜测。根据倒数第三段“I guessed the patient had tried to use the spoon but found it was (我猜这位病人曾试图使用勺子，但发现它是)”及“It was obvious that he had no strength in his weak arms to make it. (很明显，他虚弱的手臂没有力气完成这个动作)”可知，病人试图用勺子但因手臂无力而徒劳，故划线词意为“无用的”，即useless。故答案为：Useless. 【60题详解】 开放性试题。通读全文，尤其根据第二段““Taking a shower may make you feel better,” I encouraged. (“洗个澡可能会让你感觉好一些，”我鼓励他说)”,第五段“I helped dry his feet and massaged (按摩) them. Then I tidied his room. (我帮他擦干双脚，并为他做了按摩。然后我整理了他的房间)”及倒数第三段“Then I assisted the patient in having lunch. (然后我协助这位病人吃了午饭)”可知，作者主动帮助病人洗澡、泡脚、喂饭等细节体现责任感。故答案为：She is responsible because she helped patients with patience and love. 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 天津一中2024-2025-2高三年级英语统练10 第一部分：英语知识运用（共两节，满分45分） 第一节：单项填空（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 从A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 1. —Do you mind if I smoke here? —________.

Fashion Magazines? Music Videos? One American photographer is finding beauty in unexpected places. And a new documentary about his work might help change the traditional standards of "who" is beautiful. Rick Guidotti put aside his career as a fashion Photographer to turn his lens (镜头)to people living with genetic, physical and behavioral differences. He says what changed his perception of beauty was a chance encounter with an albino(白化病) girl. "I was just tired of people telling me who was beautiful. Every season that face would change but1 was always told who was beautiful. As an artist, I don't see beauty just on covers of magazines. I see it everywhere. So that was my initial intention that opened my eyes a little wider and wider." Said Guidotti. Guidotti has created Positive Exposure, a not-for-profit organization that uses photography and video to transform public perceptions and promote a world where differences are celebrated. Guidotti and Positive Exposure are featured in a new documentary called On Beauty. The cast and crew recently hosted a screening at Georgetown University in Washington. One of the women featured in the film is Jayne Waithera. “I never thought I was beautiful because nobody said that to me, but meeting him was my profound moment. I remember that particular day he took my picture and I felt so good like I felt there's somebody who, really loves me and sees me for who I am and who sees me more than my condition.” said Waithera. The documentary is the brainchild of producer Joanna Rudnick. After seeing Rick's photos, she decided to tell his story. Joanna and Rick are traveling from city to city to promote On Beauty. They say their tour is not about money, it's about the message: “As I travel from community to community, I'm taking photographs and I'm empowering individuals with a positive sense of who they are. They're seeing beauty in their reflection but I'm also empowering their families and they in turn are empowering their communities as well. All is based on the philosophy of change how you see, see how you change." 41. Why did Rick change his career? A. Because he couldn't earn enough money from his former career. B. Because the beauty on covers of magazines are not beautiful. C. Because he wanted to create his own company. D. Because his comprehension of beauty changed owing to an albino girl. 42. What can we know about Positive Exposure? A. It brings a lot of money for Rick. B. It makes the public more beautiful. C. It welcomes differences in the world. D. It makes photography more popular. 43. What does the author want to tell us by mentioning Jayne in Paragraph 5? A. Jayne was beautiful indeed. B. Photographs gave Jayne a positive sense of who she was. C. It was unfair that nobody discovered Jayne's beauty. D. Jayne's picture was more beautiful than herself. 44. What does the author mainly intend to tell us in the last paragraph? A. We should travel frequently. B. Community has a great influence on everyone. C. We should make contributions to our community. D. Your attitude to seeing the world decides your behavior. 45. What do you know about Rick Guidotti based on the passage? A He's a talented photographer with a firmly established reputation. B. He's a social worker devoting himself to helping the disadvantaged. C. He conveys a new concept of beauty by means of a documentary. D. He promotes people' s taste of beauty through his fashion photographs. C The temperature of the sun is over 5,000 degrees Fahrenheit at the surface, but it rises to perhaps more than 16 million degrees at the center. The sun is so much hotter than the earth that matter can exist only as a gas, except at the core. In the core of the sun, the pressures are so great against the gases that, despite the high temperature, there may be a small solid core. However, no one really knows, since the center of the sun can never be directly observed. Solar astronomers do know that the sun is divided into five layers or zones.

The first three zones are regarded as the sun’s atmosphere ends and the main body of the sun begins. The sun’s outermost layer begins about 10,000 miles above the visible surface and goes outward for millions of miles. This is the only part of the sun that can be seen during an eclipse such as the one in February 1979. At any other time, the corona can be seen only when special instruments are used on cameras and telescopes to shut out the glare of the sun’s rays. The corona is a brilliant pearly white, filmy light, about as bright as the full moon. Its beautiful rays are a sensational sight during an eclipse. The corona’s rays flash out in a brilliant fan that has wispy spikelike (一束束穗状) rays near the sun’s north and south poles. The corona is thickest at the sun’s equator. The corona rays are made up of gases streaming outward at tremendous speeds and reaching a temperature of more than 2 million degrees Fahrenheit. The rays of gas thin out as they reach the space around the planets. By the time the sun’s corona rays reach the earth, they are weak and invisible. 46 Matter on the sun can exist only in the form of gas because of the sun’s ______. A. size B. age C. location D. temperature 47. With what topic is the second paragraph mainly concerned? A. How the sun evolved. B. The structure of the sun. C. Why scientists study the sun. D. The distance of the sun from the planets. 48. All of the following are parts of the sun’s atmosphere EXCEPT the _______. A. corona B. chromospheres C. photosphere D. core 49. According to the passage, as the corona rays reach the planets, they become _______. A. hotter B. clearer C. thinner D. stronger 50. The paragraph following the passage most likely discusses which of the following? A. The remaining layers of the sun. B. The evolution of the sun to its present form. C. The eclipse of February 1979. D. Scientists will cost more money on researching the corona. D Many intelligent people equate happiness with fun. The truth is that fun and happiness have little or nothing in common. Fun is what we experience during the act. Happiness is what we experience after an act. It is deeper, more abiding emotion. Going to an amusement park of ball game, watching a movie or television, are fun activities that help us relax, temporarily forget our problems and maybe even laugh. But they do not bring happiness, because their positive effects end when the fun ends. The way people cling to the belief that a fun-filled, pain free life equals happiness actually decreases their chances of ever attaining real happiness. If fun and pleasure are equated with happiness, then pain must be equated with unhappiness. But in fact, the opposite is true: more times than not, things that lead to happiness involve some pain. As a result, many people avoid the very endeavors that are the source of true happiness. They fear the pain inevitably brought by such things as marriage, raising children, professional achievement, religious commitment, charitable work, self-improvement. Ask a bachelor why he resists marriage even though he finds dating to be less and less satisfying. If he’s honest, he will tell you that he is afraid of making a commitment. For a commitment is in fact quite painful. The single life is filled with fun, adventure and excitement. Marriage has such movement, but they are not its most distinguishing features. Similarly, couples who choose not to have children are deciding in favor of painless fun over painful happiness. They can dine out whenever they want, travel wherever they want and sleep as late as they want. Couples with infant children are lucky to get a whole night’s sleep or a three-day vacation. I don’t know any parents would choose the word fun to describe raising children. But couples who decide not to have children never experience the pleasure of hugging them or tucking them into bed at night. They never know the joy of watching a child grow up or of playing with a grandchild. Difficult endeavors — writing, raising children, trying to do good in the world — will bring us more happiness than can ever be found in fun, that least permanent of things. The moment we understand that fun does not bring happiness, we began to lead our lives differently. The effect can be, quite literally, life-transforming. 51.

Why would you work in a hospital again?” My friends asked me when I decided to return to nursing after forty years of working in the career and four years of retirement. Last week, I joined the Volunteer Registered Nurse program. My job was to care for patients at the bedside. On my first day, the charge nurse said, “Mr. Jones needs a bath and some extra attention. He’s disappointed that he’s not going home today.” When seeing him, I gave him my biggest smile and introduced myself. I asked if he would like to take a shower and he shook his head sadly. “Taking a shower may make you feel better,” I encouraged. He agreed. When he finished it, I said, “Would you like a foot-soak (泡脚) while you sit in your chair?” “That sounds good,” He said. As he soaked his feet, I expressed my sympathy for him and explained the possible reason why he needed to stay a day longer. I helped dry his feet and massaged (按摩) them. Then I tidied his room. After that I asked, “Is there anything else I can do for you?” He replied, “No, I believe you have done a great deal. Thank you. I feel so much better now than when you came in here.” I felt I had made a small difference. But I was not done yet. I prepared to nurse another patient, a small man. His voice was weak. The patient care technician (技师) was encouraging him to eat something from the lunch plate in front of him. I guessed the patient had tried to use the spoon but found it was futile. It was obvious that he had no strength in his weak arms to make it. Seeing that, I told the patient care technician, “You’re also busy with other patients. I’ll help him.” Then I assisted the patient in having lunch. When I helped him, he said, “You understand me but many others don’t.” My heart leaped. For me, nursing is the best job. It has enriched my life and made it meaningful. Now, I am still a nurse. I love my career and never regret choosing the profession. 56. What were the author’s friends wondering?
