The Chinese language differs from Western language in that, instead of an alphabet (字母表), it uses characters which stand for ideas, objects or deeds. Chinese words are formed by putting together different characters. In many cases, a single character can also make up a word. As one kind of the most ancient characters, Chinese characters have played an important role in the development of Chinese culture. At first, ancient Sumerian and ancient Egyptian symbols also existed, but only Chinese characters remain today. The history of the Chinese language can be examined by looking at how these characters developed.
Chinese writing began thousands of years ago. According to an ancient story, a man named Cang Jie invented Chinese writing. One winter day, while he was hunting, he saw the footprints of animals in the snow and noticed that the appearance of each one was different. Then he had the idea that he could use different shapes to represent different objects. The first Chinese characters were drawings of physical objects. Some characters have been simplified (简化) and others have been made more difficult over time.
However, as a whole, the characters have developed from drawings into standard forms. The character for a mountain was at first three mountaintops together. This became one mountaintop and three lines, and over time turned into the character used nowadays.
Sometimes to express ideas, some characters were made by combining two or more characters together. For example, “rest” was made up of the characters for a man and a tree. The character “prisoner” was formed with a “man” inside a square. Other characters were developed for directions and numbers. It is easy to distinguish (区分) their meanings by looking at them, for example, the characters for “up” and “down”, which are opposites of each other.
Though these kinds of characters indicate meanings, one of their shortcomings is that they do not show how they should be pronounced. Therefore, a method was developed to have one part of a character represent the meaning and the other suggest the pronunciation. Many Chinese characters used today were made this way.
27. The writer introduced the Chinese characters by _______.
A giving examples B. providing causes C. expressing opinions D. comparing facts
28. The following sentence would best be placed at the beginning of ________.
Not all characters were developed from drawings of objects.
A. Paragraph 5 B. Paragraph 4 C. Paragraph 3 D. Paragraph 2
29. Which Chinese character used the underlined (划线的) method?
A. 亦 B. 竹 C. 明 D. 桐
30. What can we learn from the passage?
A. Chinese characters have all turned into standard forms, which are easier than before.
B. Chinese characters can stand for ideas, objects or deeds.
C. Chinese characters existed at the beginning and remain today like other ancient symbols.
D. Chinese words and English words are both formed by putting alphabets and characters together.

One of America’s best-known and most-loved authors is Louisa May Alcott. She wrote poems, plays, short stories and books. For over a hundred years, her works have been popular among both adults and children. How did Alcott become a famous writer?
Born in 1832, Alcott grew up in Massachusetts with her three sisters. When she was very young, she loved to write. She would think up wonderful stories and then turn them into plays. Alcott and her sisters acted out the dramas. Alcott always played the most exciting parts: ghosts, bandits, and evil queens. She also loved playing and wandering outdoors. In fact, she was considered quite a “tomboy”. In those days, girls were expected to be ladylike, which meant mostly sitting around looking pretty. This was not Alcott’s way! She once said that no boy could be her friend until she had beaten him in a race. Girls had to climb trees and leap fences with her if they wanted to be her friends.
Alcott’s family was poor. At age fifteen, Alcott decided to help out. However, it was not easy for women to find work in the 19th century. Alcott worked at any job she could find. She took care of children, she taught, and she did the laundry for other people.
Alcott’s love of writing was always an important part of her. She wrote from her own life experiences and from her imagination. During the Civil War, Alcott volunteered to work as a nurse. She wrote about it in her book Hospital Sketches. She also wrote thrillers (惊悚小说) that were full of suspense. When her publisher asked her to write a book for girls, Alcott turned to her own life.
It was then, in 1868, that she wrote what was to become her most popular book—Little Women. The novel is set in New England during the Civil War. It tells the story of four sisters growing up. The family is very similar to the Alcotts. The book’s main character, Jo, is based on Alcott herself. Like Alcott, Jo is a determined (有决心的) young woman with a mind of her own. The book was an instant success. It is still popular today and has been made into movies. Alcott also wrote children’s books with boys as the main characters. This was the case in two other Alcott’s books, Little Men and Jo’s Boys.
Early in her career someone once told Alcott that she should give up writing and “stick to teaching”. It is lucky that Alcott paid no attention to that person. She knew what she wanted to do with her life—and she did it!
31. Which words can help readers understand “dramas” in Paragraph 2?
A. turn them into plays B. loved to write
C. grew up in Massachusetts D. wandering outdoors
32. Which question does Paragraph 3 answer?
A. Where did Alcott go to work? B. How did Alcott help her family?
C. What subject did Alcott teach at school? D. Why was it difficult for women to find work?
33. Why did the author include the last paragraph in the passage?
A. To explain why some people should not give advice.
B To advise readers to read more about Louisa May Alcott’s life.
C. To show that Louisa May Alcott got what she wanted out of life.
D. To encourage readers to write stories about their own experiences.
34. What would be a good online research for this question: How did Alcott’s family influence (影响) her writing?
A. Modern Women Writers B. Novels and Movies of Alcott
C. Putting together Life and Writing: Alcott D. The Complete Works of Louisa May Alcott

When considering the kind of experience that makes life better, most people first think that happiness depends on experiencing pleasure: good food, good jobs, all the comforts that money can buy. If we couldn’t have these, we might as well sit in front of the television on a quiet evening.
Pleasure is an important part of the quality of life, but by itself it doesn’t bring happiness. When people think further about what makes a worthy life, they tend to move beyond pleasant memories and begin to remember other events, other experiences that overlap (部分重叠) pleasurable ones but fall into a group with a separate name enjoyment. Enjoyable events take place when people have not only satisfied a need or met some earlier expectation, but also achieved something unexpected.
Enjoyment is characterized by a sense of curiosity and achievement. Playing a tennis game that improves one’s ability is enjoyable, as is reading a book that shows things in a new light, as is having a conversation that leads us to express ideas we didn’t know we had. None of these experiences may be especially pleasurable when they are taking place, but when we think back on them afterwards, we would say “That was really fun.” and wish they would happen again. After an enjoyable event we know that we have changed and grown.
Experiences that give pleasure can also give enjoyment, but the two feelings are quite different. For example, everybody takes pleasure in eating. However, to enjoy food is more difficult—you have to pay enough attention to a meal, so as to sense and tell its various tastes. As this example suggests, we can experience pleasure without any psychic energy, while enjoyment happens only as a result of full attention. A person can feel pleasure without any effort, as long as certain parts in his brain are stimulated (刺激). But it’s impossible to enjoy a tennis game or a book without full attention. It’s for this reason that pleasure does not last long, nor does it make us grow. Growth requires full attention to goals that are new, that are relatively challenging.
Without enjoyment, life will go on, and it can even be pleasant. But it depends heavily on luck and the external (外部的) environment. To achieve personal control over the quality of experience, however, we need to learn how to build enjoyment into what happens day in, day out.
35. You will probably experience enjoyment when you _______.
A. buy expensive shoes B. order a delicious meal
C. talk with friends for new ideas D. sit quietly in front of a television
36. What do you know about pleasure and enjoyment from the passage?
A. Enjoyment grows out of pleasure.
B. Pleasure and enjoyment come hand in hand.
C. Pleasurable experiences are part of enjoyable ones.
D. Some experiences provide both pleasure and enjoyment.
37. The writer probably agrees that _______.
A. feeling pleasure stops people from achieving growth
B. feeling enjoyment comes with achieving growth
C. a worthy life depends on luck and excitement
D. pleasure is the key to a happy and worthy life

Many of us have seen rainbows in the sky once the sun starts shining again after it rains. For us to see a rainbow, the conditions need to be just right. We need some water drops in the air, like rain or even fog, and we need the sun to be behind us and quite low to the ground. This is because a rainbow is created by light passing through water drops.
The light that comes from the sun seems white to us. But the white light we see is made up of a mix of different colors. When the light goes through a raindrop, these colors can separate out. Each of the colors in the rainbow has a different “wavelength” (波长). Raindrops look like little balls. When light hits one of these little balls of water, the light can change direction. We call this “refraction” (折射). Each of the different wavelengths is refracted differently. If the light hits the raindrop at the right place, the refraction separates the wavelengths out into their different colors.
We are taught there are seven colors: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet. But this isn’t exactly true. Blue and green are next to each other in the rainbow, which is why we can see turquoise (a mix of blue and green). Brown is a mix of red and green. But they aren’t next to each other in the rainbow, so we don’t see them mix to make brown.
We would never see black and white in a rainbow. Black is what we see when there’s no light at all. On the other hand, white is a mix of all the colors together. When light is refracted by raindrops, it separates the white light out, meaning it is no longer white.
38. We can see a rainbow under the right conditions because ________.
A. the raindrops are like little balls B. the light goes through raindrops
C. the sunshine seems to be colorful D. the weather is foggy after it rains
39. According to the passage, what can we know about the colors in the rainbow?
A. They can become brown or black. B. There are only seven colors in all.
C. They mix to make the white light. D. Their own places can be changed.
40. Which part of a magazine may this passage be taken from?
A. Science. B. Health. C. Culture. D. Fashion.
41. What’s the best title for the passage?
A. How are the colors received in the rainbow?
B. When can the colors turn blue in the rainbow?
C. Which colors aren’t covered with light in the rainbow?
D. Why can’t we find white, black and brown in the rainbow?

The Chinese language differs from Western language in that, instead of an alphabet (字母表), it uses characters which stand for ideas, objects or deeds. Chinese words are formed by putting together different characters. In many cases, a single character can also make up a word. As one kind of the most ancient characters, Chinese characters have played an important role in the development of Chinese culture. At first, ancient Sumerian and ancient Egyptian symbols also existed, but only Chinese characters remain today. The history of the Chinese language can be examined by looking at how these characters developed.
Chinese writing began thousands of years ago. According to an ancient story, a man named Cang Jie invented Chinese writing. One winter day, while he was hunting, he saw the footprints of animals in the snow and noticed that the appearance of each one was different. Then he had the idea that he could use different shapes to represent different objects. The first Chinese characters were drawings of physical objects. Some characters have been simplified (简化) and others have been made more difficult over time.
However, as a whole, the characters have developed from drawings into standard forms. The character for a mountain was at first three mountaintops together. This became one mountaintop and three lines, and over time turned into the character used nowadays.
Sometimes to express ideas, some characters were made by combining two or more characters together. For example, “rest” was made up of the characters for a man and a tree. The character “prisoner” was formed with a “man” inside a square. Other characters were developed for directions and numbers. It is easy to distinguish (区分) their meanings by looking at them, for example, the characters for “up” and “down”, which are opposites of each other.
Though these kinds of characters indicate meanings, one of their shortcomings is that they do not show how they should be pronounced. Therefore, a method was developed to have one part of a character represent the meaning and the other suggest the pronunciation. Many Chinese characters used today were made this way.
27. The writer introduced the Chinese characters by _______.
A. giving examples B. providing causes C. expressing opinions D. comparing facts
28. The following sentence would best be placed at the beginning of ________.
Not all characters were developed from drawings of objects.
A. Paragraph 5 B. Paragraph 4 C. Paragraph 3 D. Paragraph 2
29. Which Chinese character used the underlined (划线的) method?
A. 亦 B. 竹 C. 明 D. 桐
30. What can we learn from the passage?
A. Chinese characters have all turned into standard forms, which are easier than before.
B. Chinese characters can stand for ideas, objects or deeds.
C. Chinese characters existed at the beginning and remain today like other ancient symbols.
D. Chinese words and English words are both formed by putting alphabets and characters together.

One of America’s best-known and most-loved authors is Louisa May Alcott. She wrote poems, plays, short stories and books. For over a hundred years, her works have been popular among both adults and children. How did Alcott become a famous writer?
Born in 1832, Alcott grew up in Massachusetts with her three sisters. When she was very young, she loved to write. She would think up wonderful stories and then turn them into plays. Alcott and her sisters acted out the dramas. Alcott always played the most exciting parts: ghosts, bandits, and evil queens. She also loved playing and wandering outdoors. In fact, she was considered quite a “tomboy”. In those days, girls were expected to be ladylike, which meant mostly sitting around looking pretty. This was not Alcott’s way! She once said that no boy could be her friend until she had beaten him in a race. Girls had to climb trees and leap fences with her if they wanted to be her friends.
Alcott’s family was poor. At age fifteen, Alcott decided to help out. However, it was not easy for women to find work in the 19th century. Alcott worked at any job she could find. She took care of children, she taught, and she did the laundry for other people.
Alcott’s love of writing was always an important part of her. She wrote from her own life experiences and from her imagination. During the Civil War, Alcott volunteered to work as a nurse. She wrote about it in her book Hospital Sketches. She also wrote thrillers (惊悚小说) that were full of suspense. When her publisher asked her to write a book for girls, Alcott turned to her own life.
It was then, in 1868, that she wrote what was to become her most popular book—Little Women. The novel is set in New England during the Civil War. It tells the story of four sisters growing up. The family is very similar to the Alcotts. The book’s main character, Jo, is based on Alcott herself. Like Alcott, Jo is a determined (有决心的) young woman with a mind of her own. The book was an instant success. It is still popular today and has been made into movies. Alcott also wrote children’s books with boys as the main characters. This was the case in two other Alcott’s books, Little Men and Jo’s Boys.
Early in her career someone once told Alcott that she should give up writing and “stick to teaching”. It is lucky that Alcott paid no attention to that person. She knew what she wanted to do with her life—and she did it!
31. Which words can help readers understand “dramas” in Paragraph 2?
A. turn them into plays B. loved to write
C. grew up in Massachusetts D. wandering outdoors
32. Which question does Paragraph 3 answer?
A. Where did Alcott go to work? B. How did Alcott help her family?
C What subject did Alcott teach at school? D. Why was it difficult for women to find work?
33. Why did the author include the last paragraph in the passage?
A. To explain why some people should not give advice.
B. To advise readers to read more about Louisa May Alcott’s life.
C. To show that Louisa May Alcott got what she wanted out of life.
D. To encourage readers to write stories about their own experiences.
34. What would be a good online research for this question: How did Alcott’s family influence (影响) her writing?
A. Modern Women Writers B. Novels and Movies of Alcott
C. Putting together Life and Writing: Alcott D. The Complete Works of Louisa May Alcott

When considering the kind of experience that makes life better, most people first think that happiness depends on experiencing pleasure: good food, good jobs, all the comforts that money can buy. If we couldn’t have these, we might as well sit in front of the television on a quiet evening.
Pleasure is an important part of the quality of life, but by itself it doesn’t bring happiness. When people think further about what makes a worthy life, they tend to move beyond pleasant memories and begin to remember other events, other experiences that overlap (部分重叠) pleasurable ones but fall into a group with a separate name enjoyment. Enjoyable events take place when people have not only satisfied a need or met some earlier expectation, but also achieved something unexpected.
Enjoyment is characterized by a sense of curiosity and achievement. Playing a tennis game that improves one’s ability is enjoyable, as is reading a book that shows things in a new light, as is having a conversation that leads us to express ideas we didn’t know we had. None of these experiences may be especially pleasurable when they are taking place, but when we think back on them afterwards, we would say “That was really fun.” and wish they would happen again. After an enjoyable event we know that we have changed and grown.
Experiences that give pleasure can also give enjoyment, but the two feelings are quite different. For example, everybody takes pleasure in eating. However, to enjoy food is more difficult—you have to pay enough attention to a meal, so as to sense and tell its various tastes. As this example suggests, we can experience pleasure without any psychic energy, while enjoyment happens only as a result of full attention. A person can feel pleasure without any effort, as long as certain parts in his brain are stimulated (刺激). But it’s impossible to enjoy a tennis game or a book without full attention. It’s for this reason that pleasure does not last long, nor does it make us grow. Growth requires full attention to goals that are new, that are relatively challenging.
Without enjoyment, life will go on, and it can even be pleasant. But it depends heavily on luck and the external (外部的) environment. To achieve personal control over the quality of experience, however, we need to learn how to build enjoyment into what happens day in, day out.
35. You will probably experience enjoyment when you _______.
A. buy expensive shoes B. order a delicious meal
C. talk with friends for new ideas D. sit quietly in front of a television
36. What do you know about pleasure and enjoyment from the passage?
A. Enjoyment grows out of pleasure.
B. Pleasure and enjoyment come hand in hand.
C. Pleasurable experiences are part of enjoyable ones.
D. Some experiences provide both pleasure and enjoyment.
37. The writer probably agrees that _______.
A. feeling pleasure stops people from achieving growth
B. feeling enjoyment comes with achieving growth
C. a worthy life depends on luck and excitement
D. pleasure is the key to a happy and worthy life
【答案】35. C 36. D 37. B
【解析】
【导语】本文主要讲述了快乐和享受的联系和区别。
【35题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“Enjoyment is characterized by a sense of curiosity and achievement... as is having a conversation that leads us to express ideas we didn’t know we had.”可知,享受的特点是有好奇心和成就感,其中包括进行一场引导我们表达我们自己都不知道的想法的对话。故选C。
【36题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“Experiences that give pleasure can also give enjoyment...”可知,给人快乐的经历也可以给人享受。故选D。
【37题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“while enjoyment happens only as a result of full attention.”和“It’s for this reason that pleasure does not last long, nor does it make us grow. Growth requires full attention to goals that are new, that are relatively challenging.”可知,只有全神贯注的时候才能享受;快乐不会持续很久,也不会让我们成长,成长需要充分关注新的、相对具有挑战性的目标。由此可知,享受的同时伴随着成长。故选B。

Many of us have seen rainbows in the sky once the sun starts shining again after it rains. For us to see a rainbow, the conditions need to be just right. We need some water drops in the air, like rain or even fog, and we need the sun to be behind us and quite low to the ground. This is because a rainbow is created by light passing through water drops.
The light that comes from the sun seems white to us. But the white light we see is made up of a mix of different colors. When the light goes through a raindrop, these colors can separate out. Each of the colors in the rainbow has a different “wavelength” (波长). Raindrops look like little balls. When light hits one of these little balls of water, the light can change direction. We call this “refraction” (折射). Each of the different wavelengths is refracted differently. If the light hits the raindrop at the right place, the refraction separates the wavelengths out into their different colors.
We are taught there are seven colors: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet. But this isn’t exactly true. Blue and green are next to each other in the rainbow, which is why we can see turquoise (a mix of blue and green). Brown is a mix of red and green. But they aren’t next to each other in the rainbow, so we don’t see them mix to make brown.
We would never see black and white in a rainbow. Black is what we see when there’s no light at all. On the other hand, white is a mix of all the colors together. When light is refracted by raindrops, it separates the white light out, meaning it is no longer white.
38. We can see a rainbow under the right conditions because ________.
A. the raindrops are like little balls B. the light goes through raindrops
C. the sunshine seems to be colorful D. the weather is foggy after it rains
39. According to the passage, what can we know about the colors in the rainbow?
A. They can become brown or black. B. There are only seven colors in all.
C. They mix to make the white light. D. Their own places can be changed.
40. Which part of a magazine may this passage be taken from?
A. Science. B. Health. C. Culture. D. Fashion.
41. What’s the best title for the passage?
A. How are the colors received in the rainbow?
B. When can the colors turn blue in the rainbow?
C. Which colors aren’t covered with light in the rainbow?
D. Why can’t we find white, black and brown in the rainbow?
【答案】38. B 39. C 40. A 41. D
【解析】
【导语】本文主要介绍了彩虹的形成以及对彩虹颜色知识的科普。
【38题详解】
细节理解题。根据“This is because a rainbow is created by light passing through water drops.”可知因为光线穿过了雨滴,在合适的条件下,我们可以看到彩虹。故选B。
【39题详解】
细节理解题。根据“When light is refracted by raindrops, it separates the white light out, meaning it is no longer white.”(当光线被雨滴折射时,它将白光分离出来,这意味着它不再是白色的。)可知彩虹的颜色混合在一起发出白光,故选C。
【40题详解】
推理判断题。根据全文可知,本文主要介绍了彩虹的形成以及对彩虹颜色知识的科普,所以文章应该来自杂志的科学部分,故选A。
41题详解】
最佳标题题。根据“We are taught there are seven colors: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet. But this isn’t exactly true...But they aren’t next to each other in the rainbow, so we don’t see them mix to make brown.”和“We would never see black and white in a rainbow. ”可知,我们被教导有七种颜色:红、橙、黄、绿、蓝、靛和紫,但是我们在彩虹中看不见白色,黑色和棕色,所以D选项符合,故选D。
