What is happiness? Most researchers agree that it involves an assessment of the good and bad in
our lives. Its the emotional balance sheet we keep that allows us to say honestly whether we
e
living a happy life, in spite of bad things now and then..
Marriage has taken a lot of hits since the 1960s. Its been said to hold many people, especially
women, back from their full potential to be happy. Don believe it.
In 2004, 42 percent of married Americans said they were very happy. Just 23 percent of never- married
people said this.
The happiness numbers were even lower for other groups: Only 20 percent of those who were widowed(死了丈

夫或妻子的), 17 percent of those who were divorced, and 11 percent of those who were separated
but not divorced said they were happy.
Overall, married people were six times more likely to say that they were very happy than to report
that they were not too happy. And generally speaking, married women say they
e happy more often
than married men.
Marriage isn just associated with happiness -- it brings happiness, at least for a lot of us.
One 2003 study that followed 24,000 people for more than a decade documented a significant increase
in happiness after people married. For some, the happiness increase wore off in a few years, and
they ended up back at their premarriage happiness levels. But for others, it lasted as long as

五、Passage There(总题数：1，分数：10.00)

After years of false starts, with the first commercial sales possible within months, a new industry
selling motor fuel made from waste is getting a big push in the United States. Many companies
have announced plans to build plants that would take in material like wood chips(碎片), garbage
or crop waste and turn out motor fuels. For decades scientists have known it was possible to convert
waste to fuel. But success is far from assured. Some of the latest announcements come from small
companies whose dreams may be bigger than their bank accounts. They are counting on billions in
taxpayer subsidies(补贴). Big technological hurdles(障碍) remain, and even if they can be solved,
no one is sure what unintended consequences will emerge or what it will really cost to produce
this type of fuel.
Virtually any material containing hydrogen, carbon and oxygen could potentially be turned into
motor fuel. That includes plastics, construction debris(废渣), forest and lawn trimmings(修剪下来的废料),
wood chips, wheat straw and many other types of agricultural waste. The potential
fuels include ethanol(乙醇), which can be blended(混合) with gasoline, or other liquids that could
displace gasoline entirely. Much of the new money flowing into the field is coming from Silicon
Valley, where the venture capitalists who gave the world the Internet revolution see an opportunity
to do something similar with the fuel supply. What has been done is small in the scheme of American
fuel demand, but it may set the stage for important growth if those first projects prove that
the economics can work.（分数：10.00）
(1).How successful is the development of a waste-to-fuel industry in the United States?（分数：2.00）
industry is supported by the government.

big push in the United States 可知答案。
(2).According to the author, even if technological problems are solved, ______.（分数：2.00）
s consequences will emerge
can not be turned to fuel

s can not be assured √
support is expected
解 析：推断题。第1段的最后1句指出，即使技术问题能得到解决，也没人能确定还会出现什么意想不到的结果。
(3).To carry out their plans successfully, small companies are expecting______.（分数：2.00）
ion of the cost to produce motor fuel
amounts of money from the government √
scientific research on waste conversion
ons to technological problems

(4).Which of the following is considered as potential fuel to replace gasoline?（分数：2.00）

ltural waste
l √
s
解析：细节题。第2段提到 The potential fuels include ethanol,可知C为正确答案。

六、Passage Four(总题数：1，分数：10.00)

Auto crashes have decreased in recent years, but the number of deaths in crashes still average
around 40,000 every year.
A much higher number of crashes result in permanent disability. Because car crashes are usually
caused by human errors, its always necessary to remind drivers of the following safety tips:
Avoid distractions—safe driving takes concentration. If a driver is talking on a mobile phone,
that driver isn paying enough attention to the road. Distracted driving is a factor in 25 to
30 percent of all traffic crashes.
Take extra care in wild weather—sometimes, bad weather conditions will contribute to an accident
by interfering with visibility or making it difficult to keep the car under control. A driver
always should take the effects of the weather, such as strong winds or slippery roads, into
consideration when driving.
Avoid sleepiness—sleepy driving causes more than 100,000 crashes each year, resulting in 40,000
injuries and 1,550 deaths on average. On summer road trips, set realistic goals for the traveling
distance each day. Stop at regular intervals when driving long distance.
Keep a good mood—reduce stress on the road by allowing plenty of time for travel, planning your
route in advance, and altering your route to avoid over-crowded roads. Remember not to challenge
aggressive(咄咄逼人的) drivers and stay far away from them.
Keep your car well maintained—ultimately, safety also depends on the maintenance of your car.
Ensure that car brakes, tires, lights, and battery are in good working order.（分数：10.00）
(1).According to the first paragraph, ______.（分数：2.00）
is a rise in the number of auto crashes in recent years
number of people who died in auto crashes has increased
C.40,000 auto crashes cause permanent disability each year
√ accident death rate has remained high in recent years
解析：推断题。从文章的第1句话可以看出，近年来在车祸中丧生的人数仍然高达平均每年40,000人，说 明车祸造成
的死亡率还是相当高的。
(2).A distracted driver is a driver who ______.（分数：2.00）
eats or drinks while driving

keeps his eyes on the road
little attention to the passenger

A Letter to the Consumers Association

To whom it may concern:
I bought a Samsung 188 cell phone at Xunjie Cell phone Plaza last Friday. The very next day,I
found it impossible for me to send short messages through the cell phone. At first I thought it
might be the problem with my SIM card. When I contacted China Mobile, I found out that there was
something wrong with the phone. I went back to Xunjie and asked them to exchange a new one for
me, but they denied and just offered to repair. I agreed and left the cell phone there and they
asked me to get it on Sunday. But things are not so smooth as I had expected. When I tried the
cell phone again at Xunjie on Sunday, it still didn't work.
In that case, I demanded a refund. They refused me again.
Now, the cell phone is still in the store and I can't accept their repairing again. I am writing
to you for help. I just want my payment back so that I can buy a new one. Thanks for your help.
Yours sincerely,
Li Wei
