第三部分 阅读理解
第一节 (共15小题;每小题3分,满分45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,并在答题卡上将该选项涂黑｡
A
So you’re between the ages of 13 and 24. What makes you happy?
A worried, weary parent might imagine the answer to sound something like this: Sex, drugs, a little rock ‘n’ roll (摇滚乐). Maybe some cash, or at least the car keys.
It turns out the real answer is quite different. Spending time with family is the top answer to that open-ended question, according to an extensive survey—more than 100 questions asked of 1,280 people ages 13-24 — conducted by The Associated Press and MTV on the nature of happiness among America’s young people.
Next is spending time with friends, followed by time with a significant other. And even better for parents: Nearly three quarters of young people say their relationship with their parents makes them happy.
“They’re my foundation,” says Kristiana St.John, 17, a high-school student from Queens in New York. “My mom tells me that even if I do something stupid, she’s still going to love me no matter what. Just knowing that makes me feel very happy and blessed.”
You might think money would be clearly tied to a general sense of happiness. But almost no one says “money” when asked what makes them happy, though people with the highest family incomes are generally happier with life. However, having highly educated parents is a stronger predictor of happiness than income.
From the body to the soul: Close to half say religion and spirituality are very important. And more than half say they believe there is a higher power that has an influence over things that make them happy. Beyond religion, simply belonging to an organized religious group makes people happier.
And parents, here's some more for you: Most young people in school say it makes them happy. Overwhelmingly (压倒性地), young people think marriage would make them happy and want to be married some day. Most also want to have kids.
Finally, when asked to name their heroes, nearly half of respondents mentioned one or both of their parents. The winner, by a nose: Mom.
36. In America, it is essential that young people should____.ks5u
A. make some money B. enjoy rock'n'roll
C. stay with parents D. have their own cars
37. What Kristiana St.John says shows that____.
A. her mother is clever as other mothers
B. her mother loves her unconditionally
C. she is stupid and often does foolish things
D. she takes it a happy thing to cheat her mother
38. To a general sense of happiness, the survey indicates____.
A. money is the most concerned.
B. work condition is the key factor
C. parents’ quality is vital.
D. friends’ quality is decisive.
39. From the 7th paragraph we can infer that____.
A. the body is more important than the soul.
B. spirituality is more important than money.
C. religion is accepted by a large number of Americans.
D. religion group have saved many young Americans.

A teenager from Thousand Oaks received a warm welcome as he sailed into Marina del Rey on July 16,2009, becoming the youngest person to circle the globe by sea alone.
Zac Sunderland arrived in Marina del Rey with his 36-foot boat Intrepid at about 10 am local time. During his 28,000-nautical-mile journey, he braved storms, equipment failures and a conflict with suspected pirates (海盗).
“It's great to be back.” Sunderland, of Thousand Oaks, California, said after he was welcomed home by a group of friends.
Fewer than 250 people have sailed around the globe alone, according to the American Sailing Assoiciation, which certified (证实) Sunderland's feat. ks5u
He left Marina del Rey, just south of Los Angeles, on June 14, 2008, and celebrated his 17th birthday at sea while off Africa's Cape of Good Hope.
His return was delayed near the end of his voyage when his boat had a broken bulkhead(舱壁) in rough seas off Mexico, forcing him to stop at Puerto Vallarta long enough to wait for his father to fly there to make repairs.
Another tense moment occurred in the Indian Ocean off Indonesia where the Intrepid was approached by a suspected a pirated boat.
The intruders fled after a plane flew overhead and Sunderland climbed onto his deck with a gun to keep them off, said Charlie Nobles, executive director of the association.
Sunderland, who remained in contact with his father by satellite telephone during the voyage, threw the gun away before entering Mexican waters, where it is illegal to carry private firearms.
He becomes the first person under 18 to travel around the globe by sea alone, and the youngest to date. The previous record-holder was David Dicks of Australia, who completed his voyage in November 1996 at the age of 18.
40. Which statement about Sunderland's voyage is TRUE?
A. He completed his voyage in about 13 months.
B. He is the first one to travel around the globe by sea.
C. His father flew a plane to drive the pirates off.
D. On June 14,2008, he reached the Cape of Good Hope.
41. Why did Sunderland stop at Puerto Vallarta?
A. To avoid the terrible weather. B. To delay the time of his return.
C. To wait for help from his father. D. To avoid the intruders.

A. Charlie Nobles B. David Dicks C. Marina Del Rey D. Zac Sunderland
43. What is the best title of the text?
A. A Brave Young Man
