三、 阅读理解（共 3 题）3. Perhaps you think you could easily add to your happiness with more money. Strange as it mayseem, if you're unsatisfied, the issue is not a lack of means to meet your desires but a lack ofdesires—not that you cannot satisfy your tastes but that you don't have enough tastes. Real riches consist of well-developed and hearty capacities ( 能力) to enjoy life. Mostpeople are already swamped(淹没) with things. They eat, wear, go and talk too much.Theylive in too big a house with too many rooms, yet their house of life is a hut. Your house of life ought to be a mansion ( 豪宅) , a royal palace. Every new taste, everyadditional interest, every fresh enthusiasm adds a room. Here are several rooms your house oflife should have. Art should be a desire for you to develop simply because the world is full of beautifulthings. If you only understood how to enjoy them and feed your spirit on them, they wouldmake you as happy as to find plenty of hamburgers and eggs when you're hungry. Literature, classic literature, is a beautiful, richly furnished room where you might findmany an hour of rest and refreshment. To gain that love would go toward making you a richperson, for a rich person is not someone who has a library but who likes a library. Music like Mozart's and Bach's shouldn't be absent. Real riches are of the spirit. And whenyou've brought that spirit up to where classical music feeds it and makes you a little drunk,you have increased your thrills and bettered them. And life is a matter of thrills. Sports, without which you remain poor, mean a lot in life. No matter who you are, youwould be more human, and your house of life would be better supported against the bad days,if you could, and did, played a bit. Whatever rooms you might add to your house of life, the secret of enjoying life is to keepadding.【1】The author intends to tell us that____________.A.true happiness lies in achieving wealth by fair meansB.big houses are people's most valued possessionsC.big houses can in a sense bring richness of lifeD.true happiness comes from spiritual riches【2】The underlined sentence in the second paragraph probably implies that______.A.however materially rich, they never seem to be satisfiedB.however materially rich, they remain spiritually poorC.though their house is big, they prefer a simple lifeD.though their house is big, it seems to be a cage【3】It can be learned from the passage that __________.A.more money brings more happinessB.art is needed to make your house beautifulC.literature can enrich your spiritual lifeD.sports contribute mainly to your physical fitness【4】What would be the best title for the passage?A.House of Life B.Secret of WealthC.Rest and Refreshment D.Interest and Enthusiasm 4. I was desperately nervous about becoming car-free. But eight months ago our car was hit by apassing vehicle and it was destroyed. No problem, I thought: we’ll buy another. But the insurancepayout didn’t even begin to cover the costs of buying a new car—I worked out that, with the loanwe’d need plus petrol, insurance, parking permits and tax, we would make a payment as much as£600 a month.And that’s when I had my fancy idea. Why not just give up having a car at all? I live inLondon. We have a railway station behind our house, a tube station 10 minutes’ walk away,and a bus stop at the end of the street. A new car club had just opened in our area, and one ofits shiny little red Peugeots was parked nearby. If any family in Britain could live without acar, I reasoned, then surely we were that family. But my new car-free idea, sadly, wasn’t shared by my family. My teenage daughters werehorrified. What would their friends think about our family being “too poor to afford a car”? (Iwasn’t that bothered what they thought, and I suggested the girls should take the sameapproach.) My friends, too, were astonished at our plan. What would happen if someone got seriouslyill overnight and needed to go to hospital? (an ambulance) How would the children get to andfrom their many events? (buses and trains) People smiled as though this was another of mymad ideas, before saying they were sure I’d soon realize that a car was a necessity. Eight months on, I wonder whether we’ll ever own a car again. The idea that you “have to”own a car, especially if you live in a city, is all in the mind. I live—and many other citizens dotoo—in a place that has never been better served by public transport, and yet car ownershiphas never been higher. We worry about rising car costs, but we’d be better off askingsomething much more basic: do I really need a car? Certainly the answer is no, and I’m a lotricher because I dared to ask the question.【1】The author decided to live a car-free life partly because ______.A. most families chose to go car-free B. the cost of a new car was too muchC. he was hurt in a terrible car accident D. the traffic jam was unbearable for him【2】What is the attitude of the author’s family toward his plan?A. Disapproving. B. Supportive. C. Optimistic. D. Unconcerned.【3】What did the author suggest his daughters do about their friends’ opinion?A. Argue against it. B. Take their advice. C. Leave it alone. D. Think it over.【4】What conclusion did the author draw after the eight-month car-free life?A. Life cannot go without a car. B. Life without a car is a little bit hard.C. His life gets improved without a car. D. A car-free life does not suit everyone. 5. One of my neighbors used to have a beautiful tree in her front yard. Her dad had planted it forher when it was nothing more than a twig(树枝) and several years later it started to shoot towardsthe sky with amazing speed. Soon it blessed her with cooling shade in the summer and glorious,golden leaves in the fall.When the two-day snowstorm struck our town, heavy snow fell on the tree’s branches thatwere still full of leaves. The weight split that lovely tree down the middle. It was so sad seeinghalf of it laying on the ground after the storm. When I talked to my neighbor later, she saidthat the damage had been too much and that the entire tree would have to be cut down.Thankfully she had saved a few saplings(树苗) from it that she hoped to replant in the future.Still, it was a shock to drive by her house the other day and see nothing but a stump in herfront yard. I missed that tree. I missed its beauty, its leaves shinning in the afternoon sun. Imissed seeing its limbs reach towards the heavens. I thought that the stump would be a sadreminder of its loss for a long time to come. My wonderful neighbor, though, had anotherplan. When I drove by her home today I saw a tiny bird feeder sitting on that stump and acolorful songbird having its dinner. It was such an affirmation of life. It was such a joy to see.I could feel my heart smile.Life by its very nature is a mixed bag. It hands us beauty and tragedy, love and loss, pleasureand pain. What we do with it, however, is up to us. We can let it split us in two, or we can useeven its hardest times to make our souls stronger and our hearts more loving. We can spend itcomplaining or we can use it to help others.【1】We know from the first paragraph that _____．A. the tree grew very slowly.B. the tree was so strong that it could bear any weight.C. the tree showed its beauty and benefits.D. the author’s neighbor was good at planting trees.【2】The author’s neighbor left a stump in her front yard to use it as_____.A. a good reminder. B. a place to feed birds.C. a seat after dinner. D. a beautiful sculpture.【3】What does the author mainly want to show in the passage?A. Life is determined by our attitude towards it.B. Life consists of pain and suffering.C. Life has beauty and tragedy.D. Life should be pleasant rather than painful.

The school district, he said, was facing a crisis. Its students were overburdened and stressed out, having to cope with too much work and too many demands. In the previous school year, 120 middle and high school students were recommended for mental health assessments and 40 were hospitalized. And on a survey administered by the district, students wrote things like, "I hate going to school," and "Coming out of 12 years in this district, I have learned one thing: that a grade, a percentage or even a point is to be valued over anything else."`.With his letter, Aderhold inserted West Windsor-Plainsboro Regional School District into a national discussion about the intense focus on achievement at elite schools, and whether it has gone too far. At follow-up meetings, he urged parents to join him in advocating a "whole child" approach to schooling that respects "social-emotional development" and "deep and meaningful learning" over academics alone. The alternative, he suggested, was to face the prospect of becoming another Palo Alto, California, where outsize stress on teenage students is believed to have contributed to a number of suicides in the last six years.a.But instead of bringing families together, Aderhold's letter revealed a divide in the district, which has 9,700 students, and one that broke down roughly along racial lines. On one side are white parents like Catherine Foley, a former president of the Parent-Teacher-Student Association at her daughter's middle school, who has come to see the district's increasingly pressured atmosphere as opposed to learning. "My son was in fourth grade and told me, 'I'm not going to amount to anything because I have nothing to put on my resume,'" she said. On the other side are parents like Mike Jia, one of the thousands of Asian-American professionals who have moved to the district in the past decade, who said Aderhold's reforms would amount to a "dumbing down" of his children's education. "What is happening here reflects a national anti-intellectual trend that will not prepare our children for the future," Jia said.b.an hour and a half from New York City, West Windsor and Plainsboro have become popular bedroom communities for technology entrepreneurs, researchers and engineers, drawn in large part by the public schools. From the last three graduating classes, 16 seniors were admitted to MIT. It produces Science Olympiad winners, classically trained musicians and students with perfect SAT scores.c.district has become increasingly popular with immigrant families from China, India and Korea. This year, 65 percent of its students are Asian-American, compared with 44 percent in 2007. Many of them are the first in their families born in the United States. They have had a growing influence on the district. Asian-American parents are enthusiastic supporters of the competitive instrumental music program. They have been huge supporters of the district's advanced mathematics program, which once began in the fourth grade but will now start in the sixth. The change to the program, in which 90 percent of the participating students are Asian-American, is one of Aderhold's reforms.d.campus for high school credit, allowing them to maximize the number of honors and Advanced Placement classes they can take, another practice that Aderhold is limiting this school year. With many Asian-American children attending supplementary instructional programs, there is a perception among some white families that the elementary school curriculum is being sped up to accommodate them.e.no-homework nights, an end to high school midterms and finals, and an initiative that made it easier to participate in the music program.f.h pressure recent immigrants feel to boost their children into the middle class. "They don't have the same chances to get their children internships (实习职位) or jobs at law firms," Lee said. "So what they believe is that their children must excel and beat their white peers in academic settings so they have the same chances to excel later. "g.I) The issue of the stresses felt by students in elite school districts has gained attention in recent years as schools in places like Newton, Massachusetts, and Palo Alto have reported a number of suicides. West Windsor-Plainsboro has not had a teenage suicide in recent years, but Aderhold, who has worked in the district for seven years and been chief for the last three years, said he had seen troubling signs. In a recent art assignments, a middle school student depicted (描绘) an overburdened child who was being scolded for earning an A, rather than an A+ , on a math exam. In the image, the mother scolds the student with the words, "Shame on you!" Further, he said, the New Jersey Education Department has flagged at least two pieces of writing on state English language assessments in which students expressed suicidal thoughts.h.J) The survey commissioned by the district found that 68 percent of high school honor and Advanced Placement students reported feeling stressed about school "always or most of the time." "We need to bring back some balance," Aderhold said. "You don't want to wait until it's too late to do something. "k. "It's become an arms race, an educational arms race," she said. "We all want our kids to achieve and be successful. The question is, at what cost?"
