  • 第7题:

    How often one hears children wishing they were grown up,and old people wishing they were young again. Each age has its pleasures and its pains,and the happiest person is the one who enjoys what each age gives him without wasting his time in useless regrets.

    Childhood is a time when there are few responsibilities. If a child has good parents,he is well fed,looked after and loved. It is unlikely that he will ever again in his life be given so much without having to do anything in return. In addition,life is always presenting new things to the child-things that have lost their,interest for older people because they are too well known. A child finds pleasure in playing in the rain,or in the snow. His first,visit to the seaside is a marvelous adventure. But a child has his pains:he is not so free to do as he wishes as he thinks older people are;he is continually being told what to do and what not to do. Therefore,a child is not happy as he wishes to be.

    When the young man starts to earn his own living,he becomes free from the discipline of school and parents;but at the same time he is forced to accept responsibilities. With no one to pay for his food,his clothes,or his room,he has to work if he wants to live comfortably. If he spends most of his time playing about in the way that he used to as a child,he will go hungry. And if he breaks the laws of society as he used to break the laws of his parents,he may get himself into trouble. If,however,he works hard,goes by the law and has good health,he may feel satisfied in seeing himself make steady progress in his job and in building up for himself his own position in society.

    Old age has always been thought of as the worst age to be;but it is not necessary for the old to be unhappy. With old age comes wisdom and the ability to help others with advice wisely given. The old can have the joy of seeing their children making progress in life;they can watch their grandchildren growing up around them;and,perhaps best of all,they can,if their life has been a useful one,feel the happiness of having come through the battle of life safely and of having reached a time when they can lie back and rest,leaving everything to others.

    The happiest people should be those who______.

    A.face up to difficulties in life

    B.hope to be young again

    C.enjoy life in different ages

    D.wish to be grown up


    正确答案:C

    【听力原文】
      W: What I don’t understand is why you’re so keen on the Layer-de-la-Haye house, Roger. Why on earth should we actually choose, to live out in a village, even if it is a popular village, or so the house agent’s description says, when we could get a place right in the center of Colchester? Look…we’ve got all these house descriptions. And we’ve got time to go and see all of them. You know that I’d much prefer to be in the town and…
      M: …and be boxed in by a thousand other houses…surrounded by a thousand faceless neighbors? No Julia…let’s go for the village. After all I’m the one who has to do all the traveling. Back and forth to London every day. And I’d rather add a fifteen-minute bus ride to the train ride.
      W: That’s all very well…all very well to take that romantic attitude. You know… you think you can get out of everything and wriggle out of any argument. What about my preferences? You are being selfish you know.
      M: Selfish? Me?
      W: Yes you. Think of the children. Roger. It seems to me that you’re so carried away with the idea of living in the village and far from the crowd. I think your personal likes and dislikes are making you anything but practical. Alex for example…he’ll be going to secondary school next year. And as far as I’m concerned, the nearer the school the better. Have you read the description of your beautiful village house? Where is it? Yes…here we are…local primary school within walking distance it says. That of course means that the nearest secondary school will be in Colchester.
      M: There are such things as school buses you know. And even if there weren’t. Alex is perfectly able…perfectly capable of using public transport.
      W: Why at his age?…And think of Sylvia. She’s just getting used to the idea of being in the nursery, can you imagine there being a nursery school in Layer-de-la-Have? And I must say I…yes, I like to be free of her for pan of the day, so that I can get the shopping and the housework done… quite apart from it being good for her.
      M: All fight…all right. You’ve made your point. But after all these years in London I would have preferred a bit of fresh air and greenery and…you know…the occasional toddle round the nine-hole golf course they mention. It is nine-hole, isn’t it? Yes…Anyway…It’s goodbye to that…to the “pleasant and neat gardens front and rear, apple tree and ornamental fish Pond, patio and…”
      W: Stop talking through your hat. You’ve never been a lover of fresh air…your overcoat’s on as soon as the first gentle touch of the first spring breeze. And as for golf…well…we both know you love a beer at the clubhouse rather than any outdoor sports. Why is it that you’re always insisting that you like the country life, you love getting up early, you adore a good brisk walk, and so on and so on. when in fact…
      M: But I do like the country…I would love getting up early…I’d often be out there having a good brisk walk…if only…
      W: If only what?
      M: If only…Well…if only we lived somewhere that would make it all possible and worthwhile. Never mind. Colchester is good enough I suppose. There’ll be fields and trees nearby.
      W: Exactly. Now just look at this, the description of this house. I think we ought to go and see it. It’s east of the town center, so you won’t be too boxed in as you say, and shops, schools and everything else are in easy reach. We’d have the best of both worlds, you with your golf and beer…me with my fenceless neighbors.
      M: And there’s another consideration. It costs…,what…? 2300 less. With that we’ll be saving for quite a nice sailing-boat.
      W: Oh no!
      M: You know Julia…I’ve always wanted to have a little sailing-boat…out there in the front garden. Then on Saturdays or Sundays or Bank Holidays we can hitch the trailer to the car and go to the nearest bit of river or sea. It’d do the children a world of good. I’d like them to have what I’ve never had…while they’re still young…

  • 第13题:

    Passage One

    Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.

    How often one hears children wishing they were grown up, and old people wishing they were young again. Each age has its pleasures and its pains, and the happiest person is the one who enjoys what each age gives him without wasting his time in useless regrets.

    Childhood is a time when there are few responsibilities. If a child has good parents, he is well fed, looked after and loved. It is unlikely that he will ever again in his life be given so much without having to do anything in return. In addition, life is always presenting new things to the child-things that have lost their interest for older people because they are too well known. A child finds pleasure in playing in the rain, or in the snow. His first visit to the seaside is a marvelous adventure.But a child has his pains:he is not so free to do as he wishes as he thinks older people are; he is continually being told what to do and what not to do.Therefore, a child is not happy as he wishes to be.

    When the young man starts to earn his own living, he becomes free from the discipline of school and parents; but at the same time he is forced to accept.responsibilities. With no one to pay for his food, his clothes, or his room, he has to work if he wants to live comfortably. If he spends most of his time playing about in the way that he used to as a child, he will go hungry. And if he breaks the laws of society as he used to break the laws of his parents, he may get himself into trouble. If, however, he works hard, goes by the law and has good health, he may feel satisfied in seeing himself make steady progress in his job and in building up for himself his own position in society.

The old can have the joy of seeing their children making progress in life; they can watch their grandchildren growing up around them; and, perhaps best of all, they can, if their life has been a useful one, feel the happiness of having come through the battle of life safely and of having reached a time when they can lie back and rest, leaving everything to others.
