A person's wealth is often in inverse proportion to their happiness.A:equal B:certain C:large D:opposite

第1题：

We often speak of language as a vehicle of expression a metaphor that can illumine many aspects of our foreign language teaching situation, Language is a vehicle of meaning that we do not even realize we are using,in other words, a vehicle that is transporting a person's message somewhere but is not itself the object of the trip.

正确答案：我们经常说语言是一种工具，这种比喻可以启发我们在外语教学的许多方面，语言是我们甚至没有意识到的、正在使用的工具。换言之，语言这个工具是将人们的信息传递到别的地方，而语言并不是这个“旅程”的目的。

第2题：

给出下列的不完整的类代码，则哪个语句可以被加到横线处? ( ) class Person{ String name,department; int age； public Person(String n){name=n;} public Person(String n，int s){name=n; age=a；} public Person(String n，String d，int a){ department=d；______ } }

A．Person(n,a)；

B．this(Person(n,a))；

C．this(n,s)；

D．this(name,age)；

正确答案：C

第3题：

给出下面不完整的类代码，则横线处的语句应该为( )。 class Person { String name，department； int age； public Person (Strings) {name=s；} public Person (String s，int

A．{name=s；age=a;} public Person (String n，String d，intA){ __________ department=d； } }A)Person (n，A)；

B．this (Person(n，A))；

C．this(n，A)；

D．this(name，age)；

正确答案：C
解析：本题主要考查在同一个类的不同构造方法中调用该类的其他构造方法需要使用 this(…)的形式，而且必须是在构造方法的第一行调用。这个和普通方法重载调用的方式不同，普通方法可以直接使用方法名加参数来调用，而且调用位置没有限制，因此选项A是不行的，选项B的语法就是错误的，选项D的错误在于在父类型的构造方法被调用前不能引用类的成员。构造方法是一个类对象实例化的开始，因此在构造方法中不能将成员作为参数引用。

第4题：

The process of perceiving others is rarely translated(to ourselves or others) into cold,objective terms．"She was 5 feet 8 inches tall, had fair hair, and wore a colored skirt．" More often, we try to get inside the other person to pinpoint his or her attitudes, emotions, motivations,abilities, ideas, and characters． Furthermore, we sometimes behave as if we can accomplish this difficult job very quickly--perhaps with a two-second glance．
We try to obtain information about others in many ways． Berger suggests several methods for reducing uncertainties about others; who are known to you so you can compare the observed person's behavior with the known others' behavior, observing a person in a situation where social behavior is relatively unrestrained or where a wide variety of behavioral responses are called for,deliberately structuring the physical or social environment so as to observe the person's responses to specific stimuli, asking people who have had or have frequent contact with the person about himor her, and using various strategies in face-to-face interaction to uncover information about another person--question, self-disclosures, and so on．
Getting to know someone is a never-ending task, largely because people are constantly
changing and the methods we use to obtain information are often imprecise． You may have known someone for ten years and still know very little about him． If we accept the idea that we won't ever fully know another person, it enables us to deal more easily with those things that get in the way of accurate knowledge such as secrets and deceptions． It will also keep us from being too surprised or shocked by seemingly inconsistent behavior． Ironically, those things that keep us from knowing another person too well (e． g． secrets and deceptions) may be just as important to the development of a satisfying relationship as those things that enable us to obtain accurate knowledge about a person (e． g． disclosures and truthful statement)．
?We may have known someone for ten years and still know very little about him because__________．

A.we don't accept the idea that we might never fully know another person
B.we often get information in a casual and inexact way
C.we pay more attention to other people's motivations and emotions
D.we often have face-to-face conversation with him

答案：B

解析：

由第三段可知，我们可能认识一个人十年了但是还对他所知甚少，“because people are constantly changing and the methods we use to obtain information are often imprecise”因为我们获取信息的方式通常是不准确的，B项是对imprecise的同义转述。

第5题：

Another important factor is the technical efficiency of a country’s people.Old countries that have numerous（）craftsmen are better placed to produce wealth than countries whose workers are largely unskilleD.Furthermore,wealth also produces wealth.

A.skillful
B.skilled
C.capable
D.shrewd

答案：B

解析：

skilled经过训练的，而skillful是熟练的，有技巧的；根据上下文，选skilled。

_________(52)
A:primary
B:all
C:foremost
D:mainly

答案：C

解析：

文章前一句给出了生活水平的定义，此处需要一个承上启下的词。however表示含义的转折。furthermore意为“此外、而且”，表示意义的递进。similarly意为“相似地”。 therefore意为“因此”，表示因果关系。这部分是说由于任何一个国家的“生活水平”是指平均每个人所得到的这个国家生产出的商品和服务量，因此，一个国家的生活水平首先并且最重要的是依靠其创造财富的能力。选择D项最合适。
first and foremost是固定搭配，意思是“首要的、第一的”，因此选择C项。
该空前面是否定句，联系前后文，意思是我们不是依赖金钱生活，而是依赖金钱所购买的东西生活。只有not...but有“不是······而是”的意思，因此选项B是正确的。
此空指代的是前面的many factors , these和that都指代不清，所以需要一个引导非限制性定语从句的关联词，只有which合适，因此选择D项。
此处许多人可能会认为depend on是固定搭配，意思是“依靠”，但实际上介词upon出现后面，中间插入了短语to a great extent。因此此处只能选B。
本句是介词短语放在句首的倒装句，主语在空的后面即“ability”，所以这里缺的是谓语动词，第三人称单数只能用comes。
as...as即“像······一样”，是固定搭配短语。本句意思是“一些国家拥有和美国一样丰富的自然资源”。因此只有D项是正确的。
for...reason是固定搭配短语，意思是“由于······原因”。本句意思是“由于多年的内外战争和这样那样的原因不能开发它的资源”。因此选项B是正确的。
根据上下文我们知道这里说的是某些国家无法开采自己的资源。uneasy 意为“不稳定的、不舒服的”。incapable意为“无能力的”，固定搭配是be incapable of doing , im-possible意为“不可能的”。unable意为“不能的”，固定搭配是be unable to do。因为后面有不定式to，因此只能选择D项。
本句意思是“完善的、稳定的政府以及从外国入侵中解放出来······”。先排除掉prevention。 freedom意为“自由”。 liberation意为“解放”，一般与介词from搭配。liberty“自由、释放”，常与介词of搭配。选项C是正确的。
本句意思是“一个国家的生活水平不仅仅依赖本国生产和消费的财富”。表示“边界内”，我们常用短语within the border，其他几个介词都不合适。
这里需要一个能连接上下文的短语，前一句讲的是国际贸易也是生活水平依赖的一部分，后面以英国为例进行说明因此只有选项D合适。in short意为“总之”; as a result意为“结果是”; on the other hand意为“另一方面”。
此空后面是一个过去分词短语，前面是介词on，因此这里先排除which和 what，因为不需要引导句子的关联词。此外，这里需要指代的是前面的foodstuffs和agricultural products，因此只能选择表示复数的those。
otherwise意思是“相反地”。 certainly意为“当然地”。 however意为“然而”。 therefore意为“因此”。此处是拿缺少的东西同前面提到的生产出的多余的东西对比，因此只有otherwise最合适。
provided that…是固定搭配，意思是“假若······”。本句意思是“如果其他国家可以接受本国的产品······”。因此只有D项最合适。

_________（55）
A:for
B:to
C:in
D:by

答案：B

解析：

短文中第一、二句话指出，任何国家的“生活标准”都是指人均享有的这个国家生产的商品和服务的情况。因此一个国家的生活标准首先依赖于它能生产财富的能力。depend on 这一短语符合语意和搭配习惯。因此C是正确答案。
in this sens。是“在这里的意义”，因此正确答案为A。相关短语in some sense“在某种意义上，在某种程度上”。
空格所在的句子提到的是，一个国家生产财富的能力依赖于许多囚素。只有produce 为“生产”之意，因此B为答案。
空格处需要一个定语从句的引导词，因此只能在that和which之间选择。因为空格前出现了介词of，因此排除that，只能选which。
to a great extent“在很大程度上”。因此B为答案。
空格所在的句子意思为“另外一些区域却一样也没有”。只有 possess指“拥有”。
turn...to...“使……变为……”。因此C项是答案。
suffer from“遭受……”。因此答案为D。
根据上下文判断，空格处最合适的词为“原因”，因此A项为答案。
根据下文，此处应该表示的是从外国人侵中获得解放。故选B。
此处是指“能使一个国家和平、稳定地开发它的自然资源，创造出比另一个国家更多的财富”。故选A。
短文第四段第一句话提到，一个国家的生活水平不只依赖于自己国内生产和消耗的财富。由此判断空格处为“消耗”，因此D是正确答案。
空格所在的句子意思为“英国的食品和农产品会很少”。由此判断空格处为“产品”，因此选C。
空格处缺少关系代词引导定语从句，并在定语从句中作主语，因此B是答案。
provided“假如，在……条件下”，表示条件，符合题意。

第8题：

In any country, the "standard ofliving" means the average person′s share of the goods and services whichthe country produces. Therefore, a country′s standard of living depends firstand foremost on its capacity to produce wealth. "Wealth" in thissense is not money, but "goods" such as food and clothing, and"services" such as transport and entertainment.
The capacity to produce wealth depends uponmany factors, most of which have an effect on one another. To a great extent,wealth depends upon a country′s natural resources, such as coal, gold, andother minerals, water supply and so on. Some regions of the world are wellsupplied with coal and minerals, and some are not.
Next to natural resources comes the abilityto turn them to use. Some countries are perhaps well off in natural resources,but unable to develop their resources. They suffered for many years from civiland external wars. Peaceful political and stable conditions enable a country todevelop its natural resources effectively, and to produce more wealth thananother country equally well served by nature but less well ordered. Anotherimportant factor is the technical efficiency of a country′s people.Industrialized countries that have trained numerous skilled workers andtechnicians produce wealth more than countries whose workers are largelyunskilled.
A country′s standard of living does notonly depend upon the wealth that is produced and consumed within its ownborders, but also upon what is indirectly produced through international trade.
For instance, Britain′s wealth isfoodstuffs and other agricultural products would be much less if she had todepend only on those grown at home. Trade makes it possible for her surplusmanufacture goods to be traded abroad for the agricultural products. In thisaspect, a country′s wealth is much influenced by its manufacturing capacity,provided that other countries can be found ready to accept its manufactures.
According to the passage, besides thecapacity of wealth production, ______play an equally important role indetermining a country′s standard of living.

A.farm products
B.industrial goods
C.foodstuffs
D.export and import

答案：D

解析：

细节题。第四段第一句指出“A country’s standard of living does not only depend upon… but also upon what is indirectly produced through internationaltrade．”可知国际贸易也很重要．D选项中的进出口跟文中意思一致，故选D。

第13题：

Many people think that when they become rich and successful, happiness will naturally follow. Let me tell you that nothing is further from the truth. The world is full of very rich people who are as miserable as if they were living in hell. We have read stories about movie stars who committed suicide or died from drugs. Quite clearly, money is not the only answer to all problems. Wealth obtained through dishonest means does not bring happiness. Lottery winnings do not bring happiness. Gambling winnings do not bring happiness. To my mind, the secret to happiness lies in your successful work, in your contribution towards others’ happiness and in your wealth you have earned through your own honest effort. If you obtain wealth through luck or dishonest means, you will know that it is ill-earned money. If you get your money by taking advantage of others or by hurting others, you will not be happy with it. You will think you are a base person. Long-term happiness is based on honesty, productive work, contribution, and self-esteem. Happiness is not an end; it is a process. It is a continuous process of honest, productive work which makes a real contribution to others and makes you feel you are a useful, worthy person. As Dr. Wayne wrote, “There is no way to happiness. Happiness is the way.” There is no use saying “Someday when I achieve these goals, when I get a car, build a house and own my own business, then I will be really happy.” Life just does not work that way. If you wait for certain things to happen and depend on external circumstances of life to make you happy, you will always feel unfulfilled. There will always be something missing.

1.What does “nothing is further from the truth” mean?

A、 Something. is completely untrue.

B、 Something is completely true.

C、 We can find out the truth.

D、 We cannot find out the truth.

2.What are the secrets to happiness in the author’s mind?

A、 successful work

B、 contribution to other’happiness

C、 honest effort

D、 all of the above.

3.Which of the following is not dishonest means for wealth?

A、 lottery winning

B、 gambling winnings

C、 hard work

D、 taking advantage of others

4.What does the sentence “There is no way to happiness. Happiness is the way.” mean according to the passage?

A、 Happiness is not an end; it is a process.

B、 People do not know how to get happiness.

C、 It is hard to get happiness.

D、 Happiness is what you feel.

Practice 1　　Wealth, as Mr. Hobbes says, is power. But the person who either acquires, or succeeds to a great fortune, does not necessarily acquire or succeed to any political power, either civil or military. His fortune may, perhaps, afford him the means of acquiring both, but the mere possession of that fortune does not necessarily convey to him either. The power which that possession immediately and directly conveys to him, is the power of purchasing; a certain command over all the labor, or over all the produce of labor which is then in the market. His fortune is greater or less, precisely in proportion to the extent of this power; or to the quantity either of other men’s labor, or what is the same thing, of the produce of other men’s labor, which it enables him to purchase or command. The exchangeable value of every thing must always be precisely equal to the extent of this power which it conveys to its owner.　　But though labor be the real measure of the exchangeable value of all commodities, it is not that by which their value is commonly estimated. It is often difficult to ascertain the proportion between two different quantities of labor. The time spent in two different sorts of work will not always alone determine this proportion. The different degrees of hardship endured, and of ingenuity exercised, must likewise be taken into account. There may be more labor in an hour's hard work than in two hours easy business; or in an hour's application to a trade which it cost ten years labor to learn, than in a month’s industry at an ordinary and obvious employment. But it is not easy to find any accurate measure either of hardship or ingenuity. In exchanging indeed the different productions of different sorts of labor for one another, some allowance is commonly made for both. It is adjusted, however, not by any accurate measure, but by the higgling and bargaining of the market, according to that sort of rough equality which thought not exact, is sufficient for carrying on the business of common life.

【参考译文】
霍布斯说:财富就是权力。但获得或承继大宗财产的人,未必就获得或承继了民政上或军政上的政治权力。他的财产,也许可以提供他一种获得政权的手段,但单有财产未必就能给他政权。财产对他直接提供的权力,是购买力,是对于当时市场上各种劳动或各种劳动生产物的支配权。他的财产的大小与这种支配权的大小恰成比例,换言之,财产的大小,与他所能购买或所能支配的他人劳动量或他人劳动生产物数量的大小恰成比例。一种物品的交换价值,必然恰等于这物品对其所有者所提供的劳动支配权。
劳动虽是一切商品交换价值的真实尺度,但一切商品的价值,通常不是按劳动估定的。要确定两个不同的劳动量的比例,往往很困难。两种不同工作所费去的时间,往往不是决定这比例的唯一因素,它们的不同困难程度和精巧程度,也须加以考虑。一个钟头的困难工作,比一个钟头的容易工作,也许包含有更多劳动量;需要十年学习的工作做一小时,比普通业务做一月所含劳动量也可能较多。但是,困难程度和精巧程度的准确尺度不容易找到。诚然,在交换不同劳动的不同生产物时,通常都在一定程度上,考虑到上述困难程度和精巧程度,但在进行这种交换时,不是按任何准确尺度来作调整,而是通过市场上议价来作大体上两不相亏的调整。这虽不很准确,但对日常买卖也就够了。
