18、cle22（8分）There are two types of people in the world. Although they have equal degree of health and wealth and other comforts of life, one becomes happy, the other becomes unhappy. This arises from the different ways in which they consider things, persons, events and the resulting effects upon their
19、minds.People who are to be happy fix their attention on the convenience of things. The pleasant parts of conversation, the well prepared dishes, the goodness of the wine, the fine weather. They enjoy all the cheerful things. Those who are to be unhappy think and speak only of the opposite things. Th
20、erefore, they are continually dissatisfied. By their remarks, they sour the pleasure of society, offend (hurt) many people, and make themselves disagreeable everywhere. If this turn of mind was founded in nature, such unhappy persons would be the more to be pitied. The intention of criticizing and b
21、eing disliked is perhaps taken up by imitation. It grows into a habit, unknown to its possessors. The habit may be strong, but it may be cured when those who have it realize its bad effects on their interests and tastes. I hope this little warning may be of service to them, and help them change this
22、 habit.Although in fact it is chiefly an act of the imagination, it has serious results in life since it brings on deep sorrow and bad luck. Those people offend many others; nobody loves them, and no one treats them with more than the most common politeness and respect. This frequently puts them in
23、bad temper and draws them into arguments. If they aim at getting some advantages in social position or fortune, nobody wishes them success. Nor will anyone start a step or speak a word to favor their hopes. If they bring on themselves public objections, no one will defend or excuse them, and many wi
24、ll join to criticize their wrongdoings. These should change this bad habit and be pleased with what is pleasing, without worrying needlessly about themselves and others. If they do not, it will be good for others to avoid any contact (接触) with them. Otherwise, it can be disagreeable and sometimes ve
25、ry inconvenient, especially when one becomes mixed up in their quarrels.1、The phrase “sour the pleasure of society” most nearly means_.Ahave a good taste with social life Bmake others unhappyCtend to scold others openly Denjoy the pleasure of life2、We can conclude from the passage that _.Awe should
26、pity all such unhappy peopleBsuch unhappy people are dangerous to social lifeCpeople can get rid of the habit of unhappinessDunhappy people can not understand happy persons3、If such unhappy persons insist on keeping the habit, the author suggests that people should _.Aprevent any communication with
27、themBshow no respect and politeness to themCpersuade them to recognize the bad effectsDquarrel with them until they realize the mistakes4、In this passage, the writer mainly _.Adescribes two types of people Blaughs at the unhappy peopleCsuggests ways to help unhappy people Dtells people how to be hap
28、py in life23（8分）A decade-long study, also the first major research into air pollution and disease has shown that living near a main road increases the risk of dementia(痴呆). The study of 6.6 million people found that one in 10 dementia deaths in people living within 50 metres of a busy road was due t
29、o waste gas and noise.Air pollution is already known to contribute to the deaths of around 40,000 people in Britain each year by worsening breathing and heart conditions, while previous research showed emissions (排放物) can cause brain shrinkage.But the new study by Canadian public health scientists i
30、s the first to find a link between living close to heavy traffic and the increasing of dementia, a discovery described as believable and impressive by British experts.Dr Hong Chen said. Our study suggests that busy roads could be a source of environmental stressors that could give rise to the onset
31、of dementia.Population growth and urbanization has placed many people close to heavy traffic, and with widespread exposure to heavy traffic and growing rates of dementia, even a modest effect from near-road exposure could cause a large public health burden. More research to understanding this link i
32、s needed, particularly into the effects of different aspects of traffic, such as air pollutants and noise.In the new study, the team tracked all adults aged between 20 and 85 living in Ontario for more than a decade from 2001 to 2012. They used postcodes to determine how close people lived to a main
33、 road and analyzed medical records to see if they went on to develop dementia, Parkinsons disease or multiple sclerosis(多发性硬化).While there was no correlation between living near a road and Parkinsons disease or multiple sclerosis, dementia risk reduced as people lived further from a main road, with
34、a 7 percent higher risk in developing dementia among those living within 50 metres; a 4 percent higher risk at 50-100 metres and a 2 percent higher risk at 101-200 metres.After 200 metres there was no increase.Researchers believe that noise of traffic may also play a role in the raised risk as well
35、as other urban pollution, which is often present near busy roads.1、What can we know about Canadians new study?ABritish experts think highly of it.BIt brings benefits to dementia patients.CIt shows that air production is very serious.DIt shows that air pollution can cause brain shrinkage.2、What Dr Ho
36、ng Chen said showed that_.Apeople are diagnosed with dementia mainly due to air pollutionBwidespread exposure to traffic will reduce the risk of having dementiaCthe link between living near roads and having dementia was not obviousDbusy roads could be a source of environmental stressors that caused

DSecret4、What can be inferred from the last paragraph?ALiving near a main road adds to the risk of noise.BLiving beyond 300 metres of a main road is safe for people.CLiving within 200 metres
38、of a main road has a lower risk of having dementia.DThe further people live away from heavy traffic, the smaller the risk of having dementia.24（8分） More students than ever before are taking a gap year (间隔年) before going to university. It used to be called the “year off” between school and university
39、.
