There were smiling children all the way.Clearly they knew at what time the train passed their homes and they made it their business to stand along the railway,wave to complete strangers and cheer them up as they rushed towards Penang.Often whole families stood outside their homes and waved and smiled as if those on the trains were their favorite relatives.This is the simple village people of Malaysia.I was moved.
I had always traveled to Malaysia by plane or car,so this was the first time I was on a train.I did not particularly relish the long train journey and had brought along a dozen magazines to read and reread.I looked about the train.There was not one familiar face.I sighed and sat down to read my Economics.
It was not long before the train was across the Causeway and in Malaysia.Johore Baru was just another city like Singapore,so I was tired of looking at the crowds of people as they hurried past.As we went beyond the city,I watched the straight rows of rubber trees and miles and miles of green.Then the first village came into sight.Immediately I came alive;I decided to wave back.
From then on my journey became interesting.I threw my magazines into the waste basket and decided to join in Malaysian life.Then everything came alive.The mountains seemed to speak to me.Even the trees were smiling.I stared at everything as if I was looking at it for the first time.

【分析】这是一篇记叙文。本文讲述了作者乘火车去马来西亚旅行过程中的见闻和感受。路上,有村民站在铁路旁边,满脸笑容地对过往的旅客打招呼,作者感受到他们的热情,旅途也变得有趣起来,不再无聊。
【41题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中“.I did not particularly relish the long train journey and had brought along a dozen magazines to read and reread.I looked about the train.There was not one familiar face.I sighed and sat down to read my Economics.”可知,我并不是特别喜欢长途火车旅行,所以带了十几本杂志来,一遍又一遍地读。我环顾了一下火车。没有一张熟悉的面孔。我叹了口气,坐下来读我的经济学。由此判断出,作者原以为火车旅行会很无聊。故答案为D。
【42题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一大段“.Often whole families stood outside their homes and waved and smiled as if those on the trains were their favorite relatives.This is the simple village people of Malaysia.I was moved.”可知,通常全家人都会站在他们的家门口,挥手微笑,就好像火车上的人是他们最喜欢的亲戚一样。这是马来西亚的普通村民。我感动。作者对火车旅行最难忘的记忆是淳朴村民们的友好举动。故答案为A。
【43题详解】
词义猜测题。根据“I had always traveled to Malaysia by plane or car,so this was the first time I was on a train.”可知,我以前总是坐飞机或汽车去马来西亚旅行,所以这是我第一次坐火车。由此可知,我并不特别喜欢长途火车旅行。推测“relish”意为“喜欢”,与enjoy 同义。故答案为B。
【44题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中的“Soon the train pulled up at Butterworth”可知,不久,火车在巴特沃斯停了下来。作者的目的地是巴特沃斯。故答案为C。
【45题详解】

C
There are two types of people in the world. Although they have equal degree of health, wealth and other comforts of life, one becomes happy and the other becomes unhappy. This arises from the different ways in which they consider things, persons, events and the resulting effects upon their minds.
People who are to be happy fix their attention on the convenience of things: the pleasant parts of conversation, the well prepared dishes, the goodness of the wine and the fine weather. They enjoy all the cheerful things. Those who are to be unhappy think and speak only of the opposite things. Therefore, they are continually dissatisfied. By their remarks, they sour the pleasure of society, offend many people, and make themselves disagreeable everywhere. If this turn of mind was founded in nature, such unhappy persons would be the more to be pitied. The intention of criticizing and being disliked is perhaps taken up by imitation. It grows into n habit, unknown to its possessors. The habit may be strong, but it may be cured when those who have it realize it had effects on their interests and tastes. I hope this little warning may be of service to them, and help them change this habit.
Although in fact it is chiefly an act of the imagination, it has serious results in life since it brings on deep sorrow and bad luck. Those people offend many others; nobody loves them, and no one treats them with more than the most common politeness and respect. This frequently puts them in bad temper and draws them into arguments. If they aim at getting some advantages in social position, or fortune, nobody wishes them success. Nor will anyone start, step or speak a word to favor their hopes. If they bring on themselves public objections, no one will defend or excuse them, and many will join to criticize their wrong doings. These should change this bad habit and be pleased with what is pleasing, without worrying needlessly about themselves and others. If they do not, it will be good for others to avoid any contact with them. Otherwise, it can be disagreeable and sometimes very inconvenient, especially when one becomes mixed up in their quarrels.
46. People who are unhappy .
A. always consider things differently from others
B. usually are affected by the results of certain things
C. usually misunderstand what others think or say
D. always discover the unpleasant side of certain things
47. The phrase “sour the pleasure of society” most nearly means “ “.
A. have a good taste with social life
B. make others unhappy
C. tend to scold others openly
D. enjoy the pleasure of life
48. We can conclude from the passage that .
A. we should pity all such unhappy people
B. such unhappy people are dangerous to social life
C. people can get rid of the habit of unhappiness
D. unhappy people cannot understand happy persons
49. If such unhappy persons insist on keeping the habit, the author suggests that people should .
A. prevent any communication with them
B. show no respect and politeness to them
C. persuade them to recognize the bad effects
D. quarrel with them until they realize the mistakes
50. In this passage, the writer mainly .
A. describes two types of people in our 1ife who have negative effect on others
B. give some examples to laugh at the unhappy people in our society
C. suggests the unhappy people should get rid of the habits of unhappiness
D. tells people get away from unhappy people and how to be happy in life
【答案】46. D 47. B 48. C 49. A 50. C
【解析】
【分析】本文是议论文。文章对快乐的和不快乐的人进行对比,他们的相同处和不同处,作者还给了不快乐的人提出了建议:如何保持快乐的心情。
【46题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“People who are to be happy fix their attention on the convenience of things: the pleasant parts of conversation, the well prepared dishes, the goodness of the wine and the fine weather. They enjoy all the cheerful things. Those who are to be unhappy think and speak only of the opposite things.”可知,快乐的人会把注意力集中在事物的便利上:谈话中令人愉快的部分,精心准备的菜肴,美酒和晴朗的天气。他们享受一切愉快的事情。那些不快乐的人想的和说的都是相反的事情。由此可知,不快乐的人总能发现某些事情不快乐的一面。故选D项。
【47题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线短语后面的“offend many people, and make themselves disagreeable everywhere.”可知,那些人得罪许多人,使自己到处惹人讨厌。由此推知,划线词组的意思是让别人不开心。故选B项。
【48题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“The habit may be strong, but it may be cured when those who have it realize it had effects on their interests and tastes.”可知,这种习惯可能很强烈,但当有这种习惯的人意识到它对他们的兴趣和品味有影响时,这种习惯可能会被治愈。由此推知,人们可以摆脱不快乐的习惯。故选C项。
【49题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“If they do not, it will be good for others to avoid any contact with them.”可知,如果他们不这样做,其他人最好避免与他们接触。由此推知,如果这些不快乐的人坚持保持这种习惯,作者建议人们应该避免与他们的任何交流。故选A项。
【50题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是最后一段“These should change this bad habit and be pleased with what is pleasing, without worrying needlessly about themselves and others. If they do not, it will be good for others to avoid any contact with them. (这些人应该改变这种坏习惯,对令人愉快的事情感到高兴,而不是不必要地担心自己和他人。如果他们不这样做,其他人最好避免与他们接触)”可知,本文主要讲的是那些感觉不幸福的人处处冒犯别人,若长期以往,则只能处于被孤立的境地,所以他们应该改变自己的习惯。由此可知,在这篇文章中,作者主要建议不快乐的人应该改掉不快乐的习惯。故选C项。

阅读短文,用英语回答问题
As a little boy, there was nothing I liked beer than Sunday afternoons at my grandfathers farm, surrounded by miles of winding (蜿蜒) stonewalls in western Pennsylvania, which provided a lot of fun for a city kid like me.
I can still remember my first visit to the farm. I'd wanted to be allowed to climb the stonewalls. But my parents would never approve, because the walls were old, and some stones were missing. I was still eager to climb it, so I asked for their permission.
“Can I climb the stonewalls?” I asked nervously. At this moment, my parents sill didn't agree. Before I left the room sadly, my grandfather said, “Let the boy climb the stonewalls. He has to learn to do things for himself.”
It took me about two hours to climb those stonewalls. Later I met with my grandfather to tell him about my adventure. I’ll never forget what he said. “Mike, you made this day a special day just by being yourself. Always remember, there's only one person in this whole world like you, and I like you exactly as you are.”
Today I host the television program Mister Roger’s Neighborhood, which is liked by millions of children throughout America. There have been changes over the years, but one thing remains the same: my message to children at the end of every visit, “There's only one person in this whole world like you, and people can like you exactly as you are.”
51. Where is Mike’s grandfather's farm? (no more than 5 words)
52. What does the underlined word “approve” in Paragraph 2 mean in English? (no more than 1 word)
53. How long did the author spend climbing the stonewalls? (no more than 5 words)
54. According to the passage, who would like to watch the author's program? (no more than 10words)
55. What does the author want to tell us through this story? (no more than 20 words)
【答案】51. In western Pennsylvania.
52. Agree. 53. About two hours.
54. Millions of children throughout America.
55. There's only one person in this whole world like you, and people can like you exactly as you are.
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要记叙了作者第一次去爷爷家农场想要爬石墙,但是父母不允许,在爷爷的劝说下,父母允许作者爬石墙。通过爬石墙这件事,爷爷告诉作者要做自己。如今,作者正主持儿童节目,深受孩子喜欢,作者在每回节目结束前都告诉孩子做自己。
【51题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“there was nothing I liked beer than Sunday afternoons at my grandfathers farm, surrounded by miles of winding (蜿蜒) stonewalls in western Pennsylvania”(没有什么事情比得上在周日下午在爷爷家农场喝啤酒。爷爷家农场在宾夕法尼亚西部被几英里的蜿蜒的石墙围着。)可知,爷爷家农场在宾夕法尼亚西部,故填In western Pennsylvania。
【52题详解】
词义猜测题。根据“I was still eager to climb it, so I asked for their permission.”(我仍然想去爬石墙,因此我请求父母允许。)可知,父母不同意作者爬石墙,所以“But my parents would never approve,”表示我的父母决不允许,故横线单词表示“同意”,故填Agree。
【53题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“It took me about two hours to climb those stonewalls.”(爬这些石墙花费我大约两个小时。)可知,爬石墙花费作者大约两个小时,故填About two hours。
【54题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“Today I host the television program Mister Roger’s Neighborhood, which is liked by millions of children throughout America.”(如今,我主持一档电视节目叫做Mister Roger’s Neighborhood,这个节目被成千上百万美国孩子喜欢。)可知,成千上百万美国孩子喜欢作者的节目,故填Millions of children throughout America。
【55题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第四段“Always remember, there's only one person in this whole world like you, and I like you exactly as you are.”(要记住,在这个世界上只有一个人像你,我喜欢你是因为你就是你。)和最后一段“There's only one person in this whole world like you, and people can like you exactly as you are.”(在这个世界上只有一个人像你,人们喜欢你是因为你就是你。)可知,作者通过爬石墙这件事,从爷爷那得到的启示就是做自己,并把这样一个道理告诉自己的观众,所以作者通过这个事情想告诉我们要做自己,故填There's only one person in this whole world like you, and people can like you exactly as you are。

There were smiling children all the way.Clearly they knew at what time the train passed their homes and they made it their business to stand along the railway,wave to complete strangers and cheer them up as they rushed towards Penang.Often whole families stood outside their homes and waved and smiled as if those on the trains were their favorite relatives.This is the simple village people of Malaysia.I was moved.
I had always traveled to Malaysia by plane or car,so this was the first time I was on a train.I did not particularly relish the long train journey and had brought along a dozen magazines to read and reread.I looked about the train.There was not one familiar face.I sighed and sat down to read my Economics.
It was not long before the train was across the Causeway and in Malaysia.Johore Baru was just another city like Singapore,so I was tired of looking at the crowds of people as they hurried past.As we went beyond the city,I watched the straight rows of rubber trees and miles and miles of green.Then the first village came into sight.Immediately I came alive;I decided to wave back.
From then on my journey became interesting.I threw my magazines into the waste basket and decided to join in Malaysian life.Then everything came alive.The mountains seemed to speak to me.Even the trees were smiling.I stared at everything as if I was looking at it for the first time.
The day passed fast and I even forgot to have my lunch until I felt hungry.I looked at my watch and was surprised that it was 3:00 pm.Soon the train pulled up at Butterworth.I looked at the people all around me.They all looked beautiful.When my uncle arrived with a smile,I threw my arms around him to give him a warm hug (拥抱).I had never done this before.He seemed surprised and then his weather-beaten face warmed up with a huge smile.We walked arm in arm to his car.
I looked forward to the return journey.

There are two types of people in the world. Although they have equal degree of health, wealth and other comforts of life, one becomes happy and the other becomes unhappy. This arises from the different ways in which they consider things, persons, events and the resulting effects upon their minds.
People who are to be happy fix their attention on the convenience of things: the pleasant parts of conversation, the well prepared dishes, the goodness of the wine and the fine weather. They enjoy all the cheerful things. Those who are to be unhappy think and speak only of the opposite things. Therefore, they are continually dissatisfied. By their remarks, they sour the pleasure of society, offend many people, and make themselves disagreeable everywhere. If this turn of mind was founded in nature, such unhappy persons would be the more to be pitied. The intention of criticizing and being disliked is perhaps taken up by imitation. It grows into n habit, unknown to its possessors. The habit may be strong, but it may be cured when those who have it realize it had effects on their interests and tastes. I hope this little warning may be of service to them, and help them change this habit.
Although in fact it is chiefly an act of the imagination, it has serious results in life since it brings on deep sorrow and bad luck. Those people offend many others; nobody loves them, and no one treats them with more than the most common politeness and respect. This frequently puts them in bad temper and draws them into arguments. If they aim at getting some advantages in social position, or fortune, nobody wishes them success. Nor will anyone start, step or speak a word to favor their hopes. If they bring on themselves public objections, no one will defend or excuse them, and many will join to criticize their wrong doings. These should change this bad habit and be pleased with what is pleasing, without worrying needlessly about themselves and others. If they do not, it will be good for others to avoid any contact with them. Otherwise, it can be disagreeable and sometimes very inconvenient, especially when one becomes mixed up in their quarrels.

阅读短文,用英语回答问题
As a little boy, there was nothing I liked beer than Sunday afternoons at my grandfathers farm, surrounded by miles of winding (蜿蜒) stonewalls in western Pennsylvania, which provided a lot of fun for a city kid like me.
I can still remember my first visit to the farm. I'd wanted to be allowed to climb the stonewalls. But my parents would never approve, because the walls were old, and some stones were missing. I was still eager to climb it, so I asked for their permission.
“Can I climb the stonewalls?” I asked nervously. At this moment, my parents sill didn't agree. Before I left the room sadly, my grandfather said, “Let the boy climb the stonewalls. He has to learn to do things for himself.”
It took me about two hours to climb those stonewalls. Later I met with my grandfather to tell him about my adventure. I’ll never forget what he said. “Mike, you made this day a special day just by being yourself. Always remember, there's only one person in this whole world like you, and I like you exactly as you are.”
Today I host the television program Mister Roger’s Neighborhood, which is liked by millions of children throughout America. There have been changes over the years, but one thing remains the same: my message to children at the end of every visit, “There's only one person in this whole world like you, and people can like you exactly as you are.”
