11.Not all bodies of water are so evidently alive as the Atlantic Ocean,an S-shaped body of water covering 33million square miles.The Atlantic has,in a sense,replaced the Mediterranean as the inland sea of Weatern civilization.Unlike real inland seas,which seem strangely still,the Atlantic is rich in oceanic liveliness.It is perhaps not surprising that its vitality has been much written about by ancient poets.
"Strm at Sea",a short poem written around 700,is generally regarded as one of mankind's earliest artistic representations of the Atlantic.
When the wind is from the west
All the waves that cannot test
To the east must thunder on
Where the bright tree of the sun
Is rooted in the osean's breast.
As the poem suggests,the Atlantic is never dead and dull.It is an ocean that moves,impressively and endlessly.It makes all kinds of noise-it is forever thundering,boiling,crashing,and whistling.
It is easy to imagine the Atlantic trying to draw breath-perhaps not so noticeably out in mid-ocean,but where it meets land,its waters bathing up and down a sandy beach.It mimics(模仿)nearly perfectly the steady breathing of a living creature.It is filled with symbiotic existences,too; unimaginable quantities of creatures,little and large alike,mix within its depths in a kind of oceanic harmony,giving to the waters a feeling of heartbeat,a kind of sub-ocean vitality.And it has a psychology.It has personalities:sometimes peaceful and pleasant,on rare occasions rough and wild; always it is strong and striking.

68.Unlike real inland seas,the Atlantic Ocean isA.
A.a(chǎn)lways energetic
B.lacking in liveliness
C.shaped like a square
D.favored by ancient poets
69.What is the purpose of using the poem"Storm at Sea"in the passage?C
A.To describe the movement of the waves.
B.To show the strength of the storm.
C.To represent the power of the ocean.
D.To prove the vastness of the sea.
70.What does the underlined word"symbiotic"mean?A
A.Living together.
B.Growing fast.
C.Moving harmoniously.
D.Breathing peacefully.
71.In the last paragraph,the Atlantic is compared toB.
A.a(chǎn) beautiful and poetic place
B.a(chǎn) flesh and blood person
C.a(chǎn) wonderful world
D.a(chǎn) lovely animal.

分析 本文中作者表達了對大西洋的贊美.大西洋一直是很活躍的,它的力量強大得無可比擬,它狂野不羈,作者將它看成是與我們一樣的有血有肉的人.通過這篇文章作者告訴我們大自然神奇的力量,充滿了對自然的敬畏.

解答 68.A  細節(jié)理解題.由第一段Unlike real inland seas,which seem strangely still,the Atlantic is rich in oceanic liveliness.It is perhaps not surprising that its vitality has been much written about by ancient poets.可知大西洋具有豐富的海洋活躍分子,不像真正的內(nèi)陸海一樣平靜,vitality和energetic表達的意思相近,故選A.
69.C  理解推斷題.由倒數(shù)第二段It is an ocean that moves,impressively and endlessly.It makes all kinds of noise-it is forever thundering,boiling,crashing,and whistling.可推知本文選用"Storm at Sea"這首詩的目的是說明大西洋力量的強大,它會制造各種各樣的噪音--永遠轟鳴、翻滾、沖擊、呼嘯,故選C.
70.A  詞義猜測題,由最后一段It is filled with symbiotic existences,too; unimaginable quantities of creatures,little and large alike,mix within its depths in a kind of oceanic harmony,giving to the waters a feeling of heartbeat,a kind of sub-ocean vitality.根據(jù)畫線單詞上文中的a living creature和下文中的mix,harmony可知,symbiotic意為"混合的,共生的",指的是"那些難以想象的大量的生物,無論大小,都混合在一起共生".故選A.
71.B  推理判斷題.根據(jù)最后一段And it has a psychology.It has personalities:sometimes peaceful and pleasant,on rare occasions rough and wild; always it is strong and striking.及giving to the waters a feeling of heartbeat可推知作者把大西洋比作了一個有血有肉的人,故選B.

5.Aristotle once wrote that"happiness is a state of activity".In other words,whether you're seeking life-long satisfaction or a few moments of good cheer,you've got to move forward.We've interviewed the experts and found five steps to take toward a sunny mood(心情):
Over a 30-year period,University of Illinois researchers asked nearly 120,000people how income,education,political participation,volunteer activities and close relationships affected their happiness.Reported Newsweek's Sharon Begley on the findings,"The highest levels of happiness are found with the most stable and satisfying relationships."
Singing aloud,talking to a stranger,raising your hand:all may increase a feeling of happiness,according to a study from Wake Forest University.Participants(參與者)followed the development of their moods for two weeks and reported feeling happier when they were more outgoing and less happy when reserved or withdrawn.
The editors of forbes.Com gave 5or20to 46strangers by chance.Half the group was told to spend the money on themselves,while the other half was told to spend it on others.Those who'd shared the wealth felt much happier at the end of the day than those who'd spent it on themselves.There was no difference in happiness between those who spent 5or20,suggesting that it's not how much money you spend,but how you spend it,that inspires the spirit.
Studies from the Positive Psychology Center showed that discouraged people who wrote down three good things that happened to them each day for six months reported an improved attitude.
Drinking water really can help keep you cheerful.A small 2012study from the University of Connecticut suggested that even slight dehydration(脫水) affected the moods of its female participants.

3.The pounding(重擊聲) was driving Edward crazy.A new neighbor had just moved into the apartment below him.The newcomer was deaf,or seemed to be,because he played his stereo(立體聲音響)loud enough for the whole building to hear.
On the first day he heard the stereo rocking over,Edward marched downstairs and politely told the newcomer that his stereo was too loud.He asked the new tenant to turn the volume down and keep it down as long as he lived in the building.The tenant appeared surprised and embarrassed,and said,"Oh,I'm sorry.I didn't realize it was that loud."
So,Edward returned upstairs,feeling good,because he had taken a stand and politely let the newcomer know that loud music was not going to be tolerated.The next day all was quiet,and Edward continued to be pleased with himself.The   following day,Edward thought it must be Fourth of July,because a marching band was playing on his street.In fact,it was the new neighbor who was playing his music loud again.
Edward was not one to repeat himself,feeling that each time you repeated yourself,you diminished the value of your words.So,he did what he always did with rude neighbors--grin and bear it.Eventually,they would move away.What else are you going to do?
In Los Angeles a year ago,a woman had complained to her upstairs neighbor that he was playing his drums too loud and too often.The drummer repeatedly ignored her.One day the woman walked upstairs and shot the drummer in the head and his girlfriend in the chest.The woman was sentenced to prison for 20years.
The dead drummer won't bother anyone with his drums,but the woman might be wishing now that she had learned to grin and bear it.If she were still living in her apartment,she could always move.When you're in prison,you don't have that option.
24.The man living below where Edward lived was.C
A.a(chǎn) deaf man                                            
B.the owner of the house
C.a(chǎn) tenant                                               
D.a(chǎn)n old neighbor
25.What did Edward always do with rude neighbors?A
A.Grinning and bearing it.B.Persuading them to stop repeatedly.
C.Shouting them to dead.D.Moving away from the rude neighbors.
26.The woman killed her neighbor because.C
A.he ignored her advice repeatedly                   
B.she could not stand his playing the music too loud
C.she could not put up with him any longer      
D.he played the drums too often
27.The author writes the last paragraph to prove that.B
A.being in prison means the loss of freedom                   
B.grinning and bearing it is the best policy
C.Edward should follow the example of the woman               
D.the woman was right to kill her neighbor.
