19、 man was sitting on the sofa with his highly educated son. Suddenly a crow rested on their window.The old man asked his son, “What is this?” The son replied, “It is a crow.” After a few minutes, the father asked his son the second time, “What is this?” The son said, “I have just told you Its a crow.
20、” After a little while, the old father again asked his son, “What is this?” This time the son said to his father impatiently. “Its a crow, a crow.” A little later, the father again asked his son the fourth time, “What is this?” The son shouted at his father, “Why do you keep asking me the same quest
21、ion again and again? I have told you so many times IT IS A CROW. Cant you get it?”A week later, the father was sent to hospital because of his heart problem. While the son was cleaning up the old mans desk, he noticed an old diary. On the first page, it read, “For My Beloved Son”.Out of curiosity, t
22、he son sat down by the desk and read through the diary. On one page, it wrote, “Today my little son aged three was sitting with me on the sofa. When a crow was sitting on the window, my son asked me 23 times what it was, and I replied to him all 23 times that it was a crow. And each time I hugged (拥
23、抱) him lovingly. I didnt feel troubled at all. I just simply wish all his questions answered, and all his dreams achieved.”Reading all of this, the son felt something so wrong with his impatience and shouting at his father the other day. He talked to himself, “How can I be so silly, paying no attent
24、ion to all his selfless love showered on me? I promise I will say all good and kind words to my dear father, no matter how he behaves.”24. The father asked his son about a crow _.A. two times B. three timesC. four times D. twenty-three times25. The son shouted at his father because his father _.A. h
25、ad a heart problemB. cleaned the old desk and sofaC. hugged him lovinglyD. asked the same question again and again26. After reading his fathers diary, the son felt _.A crowA. regretful B. troubled C. worried D. curiousCAre people less happy or more happy the older they get? If you answered more happ
26、y, then you were right. Based on a study published two years ago, people generally become happier and experience less worry after age 50. In fact, the study found that by the age of 85, people are happier with their life than they were at 18.The findings came from a Gallup survey of more than 340,00
27、0 adults in the USA in 2008. At that time, those adults were between the ages of 18 and 85. Professor Arthur Stone from Stony Brook University led the study. His team found that levels of stress were highest among adults between the ages of 22 and 25. Stress levels dropped sharply after people reach
28、ed their 50s. Happiness was highest among the youngest adults and those in their early 70s. But the people least likely to report feeling negative (消极的) emotions were those in their 70s and 80s.The survey also found that men and women have similar emotional patterns (模式) as they grow older. However,
29、 women at all ages reported more sadness, stress and worry than men did.The researchers also considered possible influences like having young children, being jobless or being single. But they found that influences like these did not affect the levels of happiness and well-being related to age.So why
30、 would happiness increase with age? One point is that, as people grow older, they become more thankful for what they have and have better control of their emotions. They also spend less time thinking about bad experiences.Aging can bring other obvious improvements. In a study, people in their 80s re
31、ported the fewest sleep problems. Researchers surveyed more than 150,000 American adults. The study was led by Michael Grandner at the University of Pennsylvania. The original goal of the study was to prove the popular belief that aging is connected with increased sleep problems. The survey did find
32、 an increase during middle age, especially in women. But except for that, people reported that they felt their sleep quality (质量) improved as they got older. And a better sleep quality brings a deeper sense of happiness.27. What is the writers main purpose in writing this passage?A. To discuss how a
33、ging may affect people.B. To prove people are happier as they get older.C. To offer advice in how to improve sleep quality.D. To encourage old people to become more thankful.28. What can we learn according to the findings mentioned in this passage?A. 50-year-olds have the highest stress level.B. Bei
34、ng single may make people feel less happy.C. Men always feel sadder and more stressful than women.D. Comparatively speaking, 70-or-80-year-olds feel happier.29. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?A. What benefits may aging bring people.B. What influences affect peoples ha
35、ppiness?C. Whats the connection between sleep and age?D. Whats the relationship between happiness and age?DFlowers bloom (开花) only if they are planted in rich soil (土壤). We are similarly influenced by our environment. When our environment is bad, we may get sick physically or mentally. When our envi
36、ronment is supportive, we are more likely to thrive.Which factor (因素) of the environment influences us most? The answer is surprising. Its not the air we breathe every minute, nor the water we drink every hour; its the people who we relate to every day. Every day we have connections with a lot of pe
37、ople in different situations. Some bring us happiness and provide us with loving support. Others bring us down and make us feel worthless.I have no doubt that one of the main keys to success is the people we know. Its nice to have people in your life who encourage you to better yourself, and who sup
38、port you in your effort to make yourself a better person. People whose hearts are big enough to be happy for your success, rather than those who are so proud that they always want to compete with you for success. People who see the potential (潜力) in you, even when you cant see it in yourself. These
39、are the people who you should have on your team and in your life.So if you really long for success, look back at the people who come in and out of your life. Are most of the people you know supportive or unsupportive? When people around you arent supportive, what kind of person do you become? Do you
40、 become shy, fearful, hateful and unhappy? When you connect with those who are supportive, what happens to you? Do you become open, lively, happy, strong and brave?Taylor loves music, and her dream is to become a singer one day. Whenever she talks about her big dream, none of her friends ever give h
41、er a fist bump (碰拳) to encourage her. Taylor always complains that her friends are not supportive enough but walking away from them leaves her in loneliness. She has no better choice but to keep hanging out with them. However, the more time she spends with them, the worse she feels about herself.We
42、can all make a mindful decision about the environment around us. Relate more to those who make you happy being “you”, or who support you in being “you”. If you have to be around those who arent supportive, then simply accept them as they are, without going after them for more than what they can prov
43、ide to you.After all, each person has a seed (种子) in them to be the beautiful and awesome person they want to be. All theyre waiting for is that supportive soil to allow them to fully bloom.30. The word “thrive” in Paragraph 1 probably means “_”.A. develop and grow B. judge and warnC. mind and care

She needs to walk away from her unsupportive friends.D. She needs to continue talking about her dream with her friends.33. What does the passage

Influence of natural environment.四、阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题。 （共 10 分，每小题 2 分）You can study the English language for years but still not understand a native (本地的) speaker of English w
47、hen you meet one. Native speakers say a lot of things, but you cant find them in any dictionary. Well, dont worry. Heres a secret: a lot of British people cant understand each other either!There are different local accents (口音) across the UK, and a number of areas have several different accents. Tha
48、t is, they have their own vocabulary and expressions. There were at least six different accents born to London the last time I counted.Worse than that, it is not just where a person is born in the UK that decides his accent. For example, a language and its accents often change across class or level
49、of education. Another example is how languages can differ among age groups in the UK. The words and pronunciation used by young people in the UK can be completely different compared with those used by adults. They are creating a “yoof culture”.The word “yoof” is a slang (俚语) spelling of “youth”. Some people don t consider “yoof” to be a positive (积极的) term since its pronunciation is easier and lazier than “y
