22．（8分） It is hard to imagine that such a small country, the size of Indiana with the population of Alaska, tucked in the Himalaya Mountains, accessible only by two airplanes, is the “Happiest Country’’ in the world and has one of the fastest growing GDP’S in the world. This country is Bhutan, “Land of the Thunder Dragon”, which is located in South Asia and is encompassed by India, China, and Nepal.
Bhutan is the last standing Buddhist Kingdom in the World and, until recently, has preserved much of their culture since the l7th century by avoiding globalization and staying isolated from the world. Internet, television, and western dress were banned from the country up until ten years ago. Over the past ten years globalization has begun to change in Bhutan, but things remain perfectly balanced.
Bhutan is the only country in the world that has a ‘GNH’, which refers to “Gross National Happiness.’’The process of measuring GNH began when Bhutan opened up to globalization. It measures people’s quality of life, and makes sure that “material and spiritual development happen together.”Bhutan has done an amazing job of finding this balance. Bhutan has continually been ranked as the happiest country in all of Asia, and the eighth Happiest Country in the world according to Business Week. In 2007, Bhutan had the second fastest growing GDP in the world, at the same time as maintaining their environment and cultural identity.
In 2008,in Bhutan’s first democratic election,28-year-old Jigme KhesarNamgyel Wang Chuck was elected president of Bhutan. He promises to “maintain a stance (立场)of protection against the worst aspects of globalization, maintaining the ‘Gross National Happiness’.”But Jigme himself is no stranger to globalization. He attended high school at Phillips Academy and university at Wheaton College and then graduated from Oxford.
1、The underlined word “encompassed’’ in the first paragraph most probably means __________ .
A．covered B．surrounded
C．separated D．guarded
2、Why is Bhutan regarded as “the happiest country”?
A．Because it changes its policy and begins to open up.
B．Because it uses “GNH” to measure its achievement.
C．Because it stresses both material and spiritual development.
D．Because it has the second fastest growing GDP in the world.
3、What Can we infer from the last paragraph?
A．The election in Bhutan is far from satisfactory.
B．Globalization has influenced Bhutan’s religion.
C．Jigme’s educational background will cause distrust.
D．People in Bhutan will continue living a happy life.
4、Which of the following shows the structure of the passage?
A． B．
C． D．
23．（8分） The Coca-Cola Company announced it had added a new alcoholic beverage to its portfolio only in the Japanese market. The low- alcohol drink, or Chu- Hi, is a watereddown mixture of the Shouchu spirit plus flavoring. This isn't the first time Coca-Cola has experienced with flavors and tastes.
Not all flavors are successful, but the unique flavors deserve a round of applause. Here are five other unusual coca cola products that were released.
Beverly
Introduced in 1969, Beverly was an Italian aperitif, designed to be consumed before meals and believed to aid digestion. Competitors like Campari and San Pellegrino led to its discontinuation in 2009.
OK Soda
This product was started to capture the Generation X market in 1993. OK Soda cans had grim-looking illustrations in its ad campaign that responded to the idea that Generation X was cynical and disillusioned. Its slogan was "Things are going to be OK" and it even had its own manifesto(宣言). It was discontinued in 1995.
Coca - Cola Blak
Coffee in soda? Coca-Cola had developed this recipe for two years and finally released the carbonated coffee drink in 2006. It hoped it would tap into the premium coffee markets, but just one year later Blak was discontinued.
New Coke
In 1985, the 99- year- old company decided it was scrapping its classic Coca- Cola recipe for a sweeter version to compete with Pepsi. In blind taste tests, people generally preferred the new recipe compared to the old. But three months after making the switch, the company announced the return of the classic Coca-Cola.
Coca-Cola Plus
After more than a decade of research and development, Coca-Cola started its first ever soda approved by the FOSHU food standard. The no-calorie and no-sugar drink contains fiber that will help reduce fat absorption and help moderate blood sugar levels.
1、Which of the following can help make fat absorption less?
A．OK Soda. B．Coca-Cola Blak.
C．Coca-Cola Plus. D．New Coke.
2、Which of the following lasted longest?
A．Beverly. B．OK Soda.
C．Coca-Cola Blak. D．New Coke.
3、What can we infer from the text?
A．It's the first time Coca-Cola has experienced with flavors.
B．Coca-Cola Plus is a no-calorie and no-sugar drink.
C．All flavors by Coca-Cola Company are not successful.
D．There are many succ. essful'products in Coca-Cola Company.
24．（8分）Since last March, I have been visiting a pet clinic because of my cat Eddie. The clinic is in northern Massachusetts, about two hours from our home on Cape Cod. I expected it would be terrible depressing but it’s just the opposite. I have been so surprised at what I have learned there.
Now I believe happiness is something to love in any form. If I’ve ever know an angel, it is Keri, Eddie’s technician. Both Eddie and I are under her loving care. She gives Eddie his medicines.She gives me emotional guidance as well.
I can offer tell when it’s someone’s first visit. They’re usually crying. I think the reason why the rest of us don’t cry has nothing to do with hope. I think it has to do with another ingredient of happiness. When we think about our pet’s distant future, even if they’re healthy, w will feel sad. Keri, in her prayerful voice says, “Focus on loving Eddie right now.” “Right now” is the only way people think at he clinic.
Instant connection is what happens in the waiting room. We join together to tenderly life a lame dog. We take turns distracting a cat with sparkly toys so she doesn’t chew her bandage. Nobody asks for help. Everybody offers. We just do it.
When the end of life is very near, owners often believe their pet’s happiness is more important than something like a strict diet. A young fellow whose pet dog suffers from canner says, “He can have anything he wants now.” So I guess an element of happiness is not so much the length of a life but the joy and peace that life contains.
At this place, the focus is not on dying, and it’s not on living. The focus, for pets and for people, is on living happily.
1、What does Keri stress most according to Paragraph 3?
A．Living is happy.
B．Time is precious.
C．Hope is certain.
D．Love is everything.
2、What does instant connection in the waiting area wean?
A．They live in harmony.
B．They help each other.
C．They are full of love.
D．They ask for help.
3、Why does a young fellow have his pet eat anything it wants?
A．He wants his pet to gain weight.
B．He likes to do whatever he wants.
C．An Lovely Angel of a Pet Clinic.
D．The Ingredients of Happiness.
