Ⅲ. 閱讀理解
A
(2009年浙江溫州檢測(cè))Sadness is unpleasant，and in a society where personal happiness is prized above all else，there is little tolerance for falling in despair. Especially noe’ve got drugs for getting rid of sad feelings—whether it’s after losing a job，the breakup of a relationship or the death of a loved one. So it’s no surprise that more and more people are taking them.
But is this really such a good idea? A growing number of voices from the world of mental health research are saying it isn’t. They fear that the increasing tendency to treat normal sadness as a disease is playing fast and loose (行為輕率). Sadness，they argue，serves a useful purpose—and if we lose it，we lose out. Yet many psychiatrists (精神病醫(yī)生) insist not. Sadness has a nasty habit of turning into depression(抑郁癥)，they warn. Even when people are sad for good reason，they should take drugs to make themselves feel better.
So who is right? Is sadness something we cannot live without or something horrible never to touch?
There are lots of ideas about why feeling sad should become part of human life. It may be a self?protection strategy，as other primates (靈長(zhǎng)類) also show signs of sadness. A losing monkey that doesn’t show sadness after it loses a fight may be seen as continuing to challenge the winning monkey—and that could result in death.
In humans，sadness has a further function: we may display sadness as a form of communication. By acting sad，we tell other community members that we need support.
Then there is the idea that creativity is connected to dark moods. There are plenty of great artists，writers and musicians who have suffered from depression or disorder. Scientists find that people with signs of depression perform better at a creative task，and that negative moods make people think deeply over the unhappy experience，which allows creative processes to come to the front. There is also evidence that too much happiness can be bad for your career. A doctor found that people who scored 8 out of 10 on a happiness test were more successful in income and education than 9s or 10s. The happiest people lose their willingness to make changes to their lives that may benefit them.
【解題導(dǎo)語(yǔ)】 傷心難過(guò)對(duì)人們講是好是壞？作者論述了人們對(duì)sadness所持的不同的觀點(diǎn)。
1. The underlined word“this”refers to ________.
A. taking drugs B. falling in despair
C. losing a job D. feeling sad
解析：選A。詞義猜測(cè)題。中第一段講了人們?cè)谛那椴缓脮r(shí)往往會(huì)通過(guò)服藥減少悲傷。第二段中的this就是指代這個(gè)問(wèn)題。
2. The author believes sadness is ________.
A. a good thing for people’s health
B. something horrible never to touch
C. a necessary function of humans
D. always to be treated as depression
解析：選C。事實(shí)細(xì)節(jié)題。從第五段中的“In humans，sadness has a further function：we may display sadness as a form of communication. ”以及本段所舉的例子可知sadness對(duì)人類可以起到積極的作用。
3. Some animals show their sadness in order to ________.
A. cheat their enemy B. protect themselves
C. comfort the loser D. challenge the winner
解析：選B。細(xì)節(jié)理解題。從中第四段的“It may be a self?protection strategy，as other primates(靈長(zhǎng)類)also show signs of sadness. ”可知一些動(dòng)物表現(xiàn)出難過(guò)是為了保護(hù)自己。故B項(xiàng)正確。
4. We can infer from the last paragraph that ________.
A. people with great creativity tend to be happier
B. unhappy experiences contribute to a greater career
C. too much happiness can be bad for your career
D. the happiest people are the most successful ones
解析：選B。推理判斷題。從中最后一段可知，一些偉大的藝術(shù)家、作家和音樂(lè)家都有過(guò)沮喪的經(jīng)歷，并且科學(xué)家們還發(fā)現(xiàn)那些有沮喪跡象的人更善于做創(chuàng)造性的工作。由此可知B項(xiàng)正確。C項(xiàng)是中的原句，不是推理出的內(nèi)容。
B
(2009年浙江嘉興檢測(cè))Today，I read an interesting article about television viewing. In one experiment，families were paid to stop watching TV for either a week or a month. any could not complete the task and some families quarrelled or even fought. It was quite interesting and now I will say something about TV.
After TV became a product most families could afford，people bought and started to watch their new TVs. Both adults and children became less creative in problem solving，less able to focus on tasks，and less tolerant of flexible time.
In my family，we grew up with the TV on. Every weekend，we watched Gun Smoke and Bonanza together as a family. TV provides us with a comfortable background when we want to learn a foreign language at home, and it entertains us cheaply with live action sports，incomparable performing arts and important events of the world. In addition，it educates us about everything from the cells in our body to the galaxies in the universe.
Perhaps it’s not even practical to live without television unless our views change unexpectedly as we get older. I don’t think that TV damages us so much as it robs us of time that could be spent doing other things such as learning new skills，getting some exercise or doing volunteer work.
I was lucky to have a family that watched TV together. Today there seems to be a TV in every room of the house and there’s no need to agree on a program to watch. To watch TV or not is more of a question for adults than for us，and even though we all say we want to cut down the time we spend in front of the tube，we never really do. TV_has_us_hypnotized!
【解題導(dǎo)語(yǔ)】 電視越越走進(jìn)人們的生活，給人們帶了很多負(fù)面的影響，而作者卻不這么認(rèn)為。
5. The experiment in Paragraph 1 shows ________.
A. how interesting watching TV is
B. how much people like watching TV
C. whether people like watching TV
D. why people give up watching TV
解析：選B。考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第一段“any could not complete the task and some families quarrelled or even fought”可知人們?cè)趯?shí)驗(yàn)過(guò)程中，因?yàn)樵谝欢螘r(shí)間沒有看電視，而引發(fā)危機(jī)，足以說(shuō)明人們對(duì)電視的依賴程度，所以選擇B。
6. After most families could afford a TV，they ________.
A. got more active at work
B. found it easier to solve problems
C. became more independent of TV
D. fixed less attention on tasks
解析：選D。考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第二段中“Both adults and children became less creative in problem solving，less able to focus on tasks”可知。
7. From Paragraph 3，we can learn that ________.
A. the author likes to spend weekends watching TV by himself
B. watching TV too much prevents the author from growing up well
C. TV programmes bring only fun to the author and his family
D. the author and his family get a lot of valuable experience in watching TV
解析：選D�？疾橥评砼袛�。根據(jù)第三段最后一句“it educates us about everything from the cells in our body to the galaxies in the universe”可知D項(xiàng)正確；根據(jù)第三段第一句“In my family，we grew up with the TV on. . . together as a family”可知A項(xiàng)錯(cuò)誤；第三段第二句到最后，都是講述電視對(duì)家庭帶的正面影響，所以B項(xiàng)錯(cuò)誤；C選項(xiàng)太絕對(duì)應(yīng)排除。
8. According to the author，which of the following is TRUE?
A. It is a waste of time to watch TV.
B. We benefit little when we watch TV.
C. It is hard to live without television.
D. We change our views as we live with television.
解析：選C�？疾橥评砼袛唷８鶕�(jù)第四段第一句“Perhaps it’s not even practical to live without television unless our views change unexpectedly as we get older”可知C項(xiàng)正確，D項(xiàng)錯(cuò)誤；根據(jù)第四段最后一句“I don’t think that TV damages us so much as it robs us of time”可知A項(xiàng)錯(cuò)誤；根據(jù)第三段可知道電視使我們獲益匪淺，判斷B項(xiàng)錯(cuò)誤。
9. The underlined sentence in the last paragraph implies that ________.
A. we depend too much on TV
B. watching TV makes us united
C. TV robs us of valuable time
D. TV changes our daily life
解析：選A�？疾椴聹y(cè)句意。結(jié)合最后一句“and even though we all say we want to cut down the time we spend in front of the tube，we never really do”可知人們對(duì)電視非常依賴
