Section A （共 22 分，每小题 2 分）

Directions： Read the following passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read. (A) The day of my holiday arrived, but I wasn’t looking forward to it. I had little money and had only been able to afford to stay with my Aunt Rosa in Spain. So, I wasn’t really excited as I knew exactly what it was going to be like: lots of noisy cousins , and Aunt Rosa begging me to take her for a ride. After I had checked in, I made my way slowly to the departure gate. As I was waiting to board the plane, I kept thinking about my ideal holiday destination: Jamaica, with its long, sandy beaches and crystal clear water. As soon as the plane took off, I fell fast asleep and only woke to the sound of the announcement: “Ladies and gentlemen, please fasten you seat belts, as we will shortly be landing in Kingston.” I froze in my seat. Was I dreaming? Kingston? Jamaica? I had boarded the wrong plane! Immediately after the plane landed, I explained the situation to the authorities. It seems there were also three other passengers heading for Spain. Apparently it had been the airline’s fault, since the flight numbers for Spain and Jamaica were exactly the same! Therefore, with no flight back to London for a week, the airline had no choice but to pay for our stay. So there I was, lying on the beach, enjoying the music and the marvelous food of Jamaica! As for Aunt Rosa, I suppose she just had to live without me! 38. Why did the writer choose to spend her holiday with her aunt in Spain? A. She missed her cousins very much. B. Her aunt begged her to go there. C. She could hardly afford any better trip. D. Spain was her ideal destination. 39. In the story, the writer ended up _________. A. flying to London immediately C. complaining to the authorities B. heading for Spain from Jamaica D .enjoying a free beach holiday 40. Which of the following might be the best title of the passage? A. A Lucky Mistake C. A Nice Dream B. A Terrible Adventure D. A Well-Planned Trip (B) With the cost of college rising in the U.S., some students are washing their hands of the American education system, grabbing their passports, and seeking cheaper degrees abroad. The number of students doing so has increased 2 percent annually in recent years, according to the Department of Education. In 2009, Jessica Fuller, then 25, was employed at a small private university in Philadelphia as a clerk in an office. Bored with her job and becoming increasingly interested in healthcare industry, Fuller knew she would need a master’s degree in public health for her dream career.

At first, Fuller wanted a school in New York and Pennsylvania, but with many programs costing over $30,000 per year for tuition alone, she decided on an option she could better afford ---- the Netherlands. A similar degree in health economics cost less than $ 17,000 for a one-year program. To finance her education at Erasmus University in Rotterdam, Fuller took out a $30,000 bank loan through her mother’s credit, which covered tuition and fees, as well as air travel and living expenses for her year abroad. The cost may be lower, but is the quality of education overseas just as good as an American university? Jessica Fuller says in her case, yes: she found a consulting job with Marsh Inc. as an International Knowledge Manager shortly after she graduated from Erasmus University, and says that the university ---and its location---- were definitely a factor. “Many Erasmus professors were world famous experts in their fields,” says Fuller. “Considering the variety of the students, the class discussions were very robust. Having an “international” advantage made a huge difference.” 41. Why did Jessica Fuller want to study for a master’s degree? A. She could afford tuition at Erasmus University. B. Her job required more professional skills. C. She was bored with healthcare industry. D. Her interest was in public health. 42. Jessica was able to go to Erasmus University by ______. A. using her own credit card C. getting a scholarship from the university B. having a part-time job D. obtaining a loan from a bank 43. The word “robust” in the last paragraph is closest in meaning to “_________”. A. awkward and fruitless C. peaceful and pleasant B. strong and vigorous D. brief and informal 44. Jessica’s case shows that there is a tendency among U.S. students to ______. A. choose t study overseas C. seek education of higher quality B. look for jobs abroad D. take one-year program ( C ) A lot of people today are used to working, going on holiday, and having money---but many of them aren’t happy. Yet other people seem to be really happy , even if they are poor. Why? Professor Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi, from the University of Chicago, has interviewed thousands of people who have a happy life to find out how they do it. “I’ve been studying happiness for over 30 years,” he says. “My interest in the subject came from my own experience as a child during World War II , when I saw many adults destroyed by the terrible events. But there were always a few who kept their courage, helped others, and were able to give a sense of purpose and meaning to their lives. I wanted to find out how a person could build a fulfilling and enjoyable life.” In general, his research showed that people were unhappy doing nothing. The

professor stresses that happy people didn’t waste time, either at work or when they are free. “Many people feel that the time they spend at work or at school is wasted. But often their free time is also wasted. Many people are used to doing passive things----watching television, for example----without using any skills. As a result, life goes past in a series of boring experiences.” But it doesn’t have to be this way. The professor has found that people are happy when get into something he calls “flow”. When people get very involved in a task that they have chosen, and which is well-defined and challenging , they experience “flow”, a state where they don’t notice time passing. They also experience enjoyment. Professor Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi, makes a contrast between enjoyment and pleasure. “I used to think they were the same thing---- but they’re not! Pleasure is a big bowl of ice cream, or taking a hot bath on a cold day ---nothing bad at all! But enjoyment is about doing something and achieving something. It isn’t really important whatwe do, it’s more important to do something, and feel positive about it, and to try to do it well.” People who are not used to happiness can learn how to be happy, says the professor, if they constantly get into “flow” states. Is happiness as easy as that? Perhaps it is. 45. What did the professor want to find out through his research? A. The difference between enjoyment and pleasure. B. The secret of having a fulfilling and pleasant life. C. The real meaning and purpose of life. D. The way of passing the time enjoyably.. 46. When a person is in a “flow” state, he/she ______. A. is guilty about wasting time B. feels stressed doing challenging jobs C. easily forgets what time it is D. has a strong desire to finish a boring task 47. In which situation can people experience enjoyment according to the professor? B. When taking a hot bath in winter. D. When making a DIY gift for a A. When having afternoon tea. C. When watching a soap drama. friend. 48. What can we learn from the passage? A. Pleasures add a sense of purpose and meaning to lives. B. Happiness results from engaging in meaningful tasks. C. Happy people often relax themselves by doing nothing. D. Happiness has much to do with living conditions.
