Text 10
Once an old gentleman went to see a doctor. The doctor examined him and said，“Medicine won't help you. You must have a complete rest. Go to a quiet country place for a month, go to bed early, drink milk, walk a lot, and smoke just one cigar a day.”
“Thank you very much，”said the old gentleman, “I shall do everything you say.”
A month later, the gentleman came to the doctor again.
“How do you do？” said the doctor, “I am very glad to see you. You look much younger.”
“Oh, doctor，” said the gentleman，“I feel quite well now. I had a good rest. I went to bed early. I drank a lot of milk. I walked a lot. Your advice certainly helped me. But you told me to smoke one cigar a day, and that one cigar almost killed me at first. It's no joke to start smoking at my age.”
其次部分 阅读理解(共两节，满分40分)
第一节(共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分)
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。
A
Buying insurance (保险) is a way in which people can protect themselves against large losses. Protection against fire is one kind of insurance. Large numbers of people pay small sums of money to an insurance company. Although thousands of people have paid for fire insurance, only a few will lose their homes by fire. The insurance company will pay for these homes out of the small sums of money it has collected.
The first modern fire insurance company was formed in London, England, in the 1760s. A great fire had just destroyed most of the city, and people wanted protection against further losses. The first company grew rapidly. Soon other companies were founded in other areas.
Benjamin Franklin helped form the first fire insurance company in America in 1752, and then a new kind of insurance for farmers was suggested. The new insurance would provide protection against the loss of crops from storms.
Later on another new insurance company was started in America. This company, which offered life insurance, collected small sums of money regularly from many different men. If a man died, his family was given a large sum of money.
Over the years, insurance companies have offered new kinds of insurance protection. The new kinds of insurance cover losses from such accidents as car and plane crashes. Today, most people have some kind of insurance.

A. Benjamin Franklin.

Recently Chinese society has seen a flowering of a new vocabulary. Perhaps the most interesting has been the division of people into tribes (zu in Chinese).
The pains of the yi zu, or the ant tribe, have been wellknown — recent graduates from outside the main cities who move to urban areas, live cheaply and work hard, often in lowpaid jobs. Perhaps less wellknown are the ken lao zu, the bitetheold tribe, those between 25 and 35 who are out of work, still at home and depending completely on Mum and Dad. Many of the tribes, inevitably (必定地), are made up of people looking for love. There is the jia wan zu, the marrythebowl tribe. These are young women searching for the most stable husbands, the ones who hold government jobs. The shan hun zu, or lighteningmarriage tribe, marry fast and sometimes separate faster. They should not be confused with the yin hun zu, the hiddenmarriage tribe. These are women in their 20s who hide the fact that they are married. And if you can only afford a postage stamp of an apartment, you're probably a member of the wo ju zu, the snailhouse tribe.
You can belong to more than one tribe. Most members of the ant tribe also belong to the ben ben zu, the rushrush tribe, to which, in fact, most urban Chinese belong. All that rushing around can create a lot of anger, leading to the nie nie zu, the crushcrush tribe, so named because they go into supermarkets and take out their anger by standing in the passages crushing packets of instant noodles.
Another famous one is the yue guang zu, or moonlight tribe, so named because the Chinese characters for “moonlight” sound the same as the phrase “spend all your monthly salary”. Their parents save every coin, but life for these young people is just to spend, spend and spend.
25．Who probably belong to the ant tribe?
A. Graduates in their 20s.
B. Young women looking for love.
C. People between 25 and 35.
D. Graduates from the countryside.

27．Most young people in the big city have to ________.

B. rush around to make a living

C
I live in Hollywood. You may think people in such an attractive, funfilled place are happier than others. If so, you have some mistaken ideas about the nature of happiness.
Many intelligent people still equate happiness with fun. The truth is that fun and happiness have little or nothing in common. Fun is what we experience during an act. Happiness is what we experience after an act. It is a deeper, more longlasting emotion. Going to an amusement park or 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.
I have often thought that if Hollywood stars have a role to play, it is to teach us that happiness has nothing to do with fun. These rich, beautiful individuals have constant access to exciting parties, fancy cars, expensive homes, everything that spells “happiness”. But in memoir (回忆录) after memoir, celebrities reveal the unhappiness hidden beneath all their fun: depression, alcoholism, drug addiction, broken marriages, troubled children, and longtime loneliness.
The way people hold on to the belief that a funfilled, painfree life equates 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 efforts that are the source of true happiness. They fear the pain inevitably brought by such things as marriage, raising children, professional achievement, religious commitment, chant able work and selfimprovement.
29．According to the passage, “fun activities” ________.
A. are the things we do before we find happiness
B. could provide longlast positive effects
C. will lead us to the true happiness
D. may help us relax and forget our problems sometimes
答案与解析 D 从其次段的句子“Going to an amusement park or ball game, watching a movie or television, are fun activities that help us relax, temporarily forget our problems and maybe even laugh.”可知欢快的活动可以挂念我们放松，有时遗忘我们的问题，D项正确。
30．In the author's opinion, those Hollywood stars ________.
A. possess happiness because they are rich and famous
B. experience almost all kinds of happy things
C. tell us happiness isn't equal to fun using their own stories
D. have to suffer a lot before they become successful
答案与解析 C 从第三段的句子“I have often thought that if Hollywood stars have a role to play, it is to teach us that happiness has nothing to do with fun.”可知，好莱坞明星的故事告知我们幸福不等于欢快。C项正确。
31．It is difficult for people to find real happiness because ________.
A. they believe happiness is the fun life without pain
B. they find pain equals unhappiness
C. they fear to lose what they already have in life
D. They are afraid all their efforts were in vain
答案与解析 A 从第四段的句子“The way people hold on to the belief that a funfilled, painfree life equates happiness actually decreases their chances of ever attaining real happiness.”可知，人们认为幸福就是没有苦痛的欢快，这削减了人们获得幸福的可能性。A项正确。
32．The main purpose of the text is to ________.
A. describe the difference between happiness and fun
B. show the true meaning of happiness
C. encourage people to pur
