18、ther said. “It takes lots of time and makes a big mess. Our bakery bread is delicious without all that effort.”Begging was useless. Moms “no” meant “No!”But several weeks later, opportunity knocked: My parents were going out for the evening. I immediately invited Hanna to be my partner in bread-baki
19、ng crime.We studied the recipe. That was easy. “Mix oil into flour, then beat in four of the eggs, one at a time, with remaining sugar and salt.”We were not good at breaking eggs. I tried to learn from my mother. “Gradually add eight cups of flour. When dough (面团) holds together, squeeze it.”We took
20、 turns working like that. “Is the dough holding together?” we asked each other.I remembered my neighbors instructions: “If its too sticky, add some flour; if too dry, add water.”We added water. Then more flour. Then more water. By then, the mass of our dough had grown very much.“Place dough on flour
21、ed surface and squeeze till smooth,” the recipe instructed.We took turns burying our hands in the damp dough, pinching, squeezing, and feeling it leak between fingers. “Clean and oil bowl, then return dough to bowl. Cover and let dough rise in warm place for 1 hour.”This was good news - wed have a b
22、reak. On dirtied kitchen chairs, we dreamed about our beautiful bread. “See?” we would tell my mom. “Isnt it worth the work?” Hanna and I couldnt help glancing at the rising process every few minutes. But nothing was happening. “Maybe something will happen in the hot oven,” I said.Unfortunately, whe
23、n we removed the loaves from the oven, they were like hard stones.Mom was right; it takes time and effort. It sometimes makes a mess. But still it feels good, somehow, to be part of that long, ongoing chain of bread bakers. Since that night, both Hanna and I have learned to do it right.41. To the wr

But are we any happier?Various surveys attempt to answer th
33、is question. Though experts have presented varying percentages based on different standards, their answers tend to find we are generally happier, and the number of optimists rises each year. The Chinese Academy of Social Sciences 2006 Blue Book on social progress says 70 per cent of rural and urban
34、citizens surveyed in 2005 reported a feeling of happiness and were optimistic about their futures.But each survey shows a worrisome fact that 10 per cent, at the lowest, of citizens were not content with their lives or not hopeful about the future. We cannot be content with the fact that at least 13
35、0 million of our countrymen are not happy.Although a sense of happiness remains a luxury（奢望）for many of our countrymen because of poverty, we agree wealth is not the only factor of happiness. For most of us, except the extremely rich and naturally born optimists, there simply are too many variables
36、(可变物) that may kill the feeling of happiness. These include, but are not limited to, rising housing prices, tight and instable job market, back-breaking schooling expenses and medical bills.The most common one, however, is a low sense of security (安全). Some experts pointed that in the low-and-middle
37、 income group there was too much uncertainty regarding employment, income, housing, medical situations, and education. How can you feel happy when you always have to prepare yourself for the unexpected?It may be beyond the governments reach, not to mention duty, to guarantee (保证) higher income for e
38、very citizen. But it does have a burden to create an environment where all citizens can feel a reasonable level of security.49. From the second paragraph we learn _. A. 70 % of Chinese people feel happy and optimistic about their futureB. the data and the conclusions of the surveys are the sameC. th
39、e surveys about the sense of happiness were carried out in 2006D. the purpose of the surveys is to find out the percentage of rich people50. The following factors of happiness are mentioned in the passage EXCEPT _.A. security B. environmentC. wealth D. employment 51. The underlined word “countrymen”
40、 in Paragraph 3 refers to _. A. people from the countrysideB. people from citiesC. people from all countriesD. Chinese citizens52. According to the passage, the author tends to hold the view that _.A. the wealthier we get, the happier we becomeB. though we get wealthier, we do not feel happierC. it
41、is the governments duty to raise every citizens incomeD. the government should make sure all citizens feel a good level of securityDTesting has taken the place of teaching in most public schools. Pretests, drills, tests, and retests. They know that the best way to read a textbook is to look at the q
42、uestions at the end of the chapter and then read the text quickly for the answers. I believe that my daughter Erica, who gets excellent marks, has never read a chapter of any of her school textbooks all the way through. And teachers are often heard to say proudly and openly that they teach to the te
43、st. Teaching to the test is a curious phenomenon（现象）. Instead of deciding what skills students ought to learn, helping students learn them, and then using some methods of assessment（评价） to discover whether students have mastered the skills, teachers are encouraged to teach the students in the opposi
44、te way. First one looks at a test. Then one chooses the skills needed not to master reading, but to do well in the test. Finally, the test skills are taught. The ability to read or write might suggest the ability to do reasonably well on standardized tests. However, neither reading nor writing devel
45、ops simply through being taught to take tests. We must be careful to avoid mistaking preparations for a test of a skill with the acquisition（习得）of that skill. Too many discussions of basic skills make this misunderstanding because people are tested rather than concerned with the nature and quality o
46、f what is taught. Recently, many schools have faced what could be called the crisis of comprehension or, in simple words, the phenomenon of students with grammar skills still being unable to understand what they read. These students are quite good at test taking and filling in workbooks. However, th
47、ey have little or no experience reading or thinking, and talking about what they read. They know the details but cant see or understand the whole. They are taught to be so concerned with grades that they have no time to think about meaning, and reread things if necessary. 53. The author mentions Eri
48、cas performance in her study in order to show_.A. her cleverness in test taking B. the good way to take tests C. the improper way of teachingD. the best way to read textbooks 54. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A. The teachers are curious about teaching to the test.B. Skills
49、 in general are not only useless but often mislead students. C. Ability to read and write has nothing to do with ability to do well in tests. D. Preparations for a test of a skill do not mean the acquisition of that skill. 55. In the authors opinion, _. A. some good methods of assessment should take
50、 the place of tests B. more attention should be paid to the nature and quality of what is taught C. students should not be concerned with grades but do more reading and thinking D. students neednt learn grammar skills because they are useless for understanding56. By “crisis of comprehension” (in Par
51、agraph 4) the author means many students _. A. are too much concerned with grades B. fail to understand the real goal of education C. lack proper practice in grammar drills D. do well on tests but cant understand what they readEFor many creatures, the danger of global warming is more than too much h
52、eat. You can get temperature-related effects that may not be what you expect. Slight environmental change can affect physiological (生理的) needs and weaken the ability of animals to keep a large enough population for them to live on even when the temperature rise is too mild to kill any creatures.Biol
53、ogists usually dont know enough about an animal to assess this risk. Their knowledge comes largely from laboratory research on bits and pieces of a creatures physiology. This method doesnt tell how an animal as a living whole responds to climate change in where it lives. Now, 10 years of research th
54、at joined laboratory study with field work has explained the decrease in the populations of eelpout(粘鱼类), a kind of fish in the southern part of the North Sea. Drs. Prtner and Knust have shown that a mild rise in water temperature can reduce the waters ability to hold oxygen, and, at the same time,
55、it increases the fishs need for more oxygen to keep active, otherwise they will be killed or have to move away.The researchers discovered that, over the past five decades, eelpout populations decreased when summer temperatures rose. They also found that warmer summers reduced eelpout population the
56、following year.Danish scientists noted that “it remains difficult to determine that increased temperature is the cause for the eelpout population decrease.” Yet they accepted the connection between temperature and population size as recorded in the field with the effect of temperature on the fishs o
57、xygen needs as recorded in the laboratory. They found this connection between laboratory and field data to be “persuasive”. 57. It is implied in Paragraph 2 that biologists research in labs is _.A. uselessB. unscientificC. incompleteD. unimportant 58. When it gets hot enough, eelpouts will either di
58、e or _. A. try to take less oxygenB. swim to cooler places C. eat less and rest moreD. go down to sea bottom59. We learn from the passage that _.A. once the temperature rises, eelpouts will be killed by heat B. the temperature rise is only an indirect killer of eelpouts C. only a high enough tempera
59、ture rise is dangerous to eelpoutsD. the temperature rise kills only those weak and old eelpouts60. Which of the following is the possible title of the passage? A. More heatLess oxygenB.

More importantly, we have got rid of many bad habits and have become better students at school and better citizens in society.
