6.The influence of America is increasing in my country.Spanish people drink Coca Cola,wear blue jeans,watch Hollywood movies,listen to American music,and eat fast food,and they do these things every day.
I think that American movies are a good way to spread American culture because people are often influenced by what they see in the movies.Most of the programs and documentaries (紀錄片) we watch on TV are from America,and most of the movies we go to see are made in Hollywood.In the last few years,the government has tried to protect the Spanish movies.Now,in our cinemas,at least twenty percent of the movies which are shown must be from Spain or from other countries in Europe.
American culture is a part of Spanish life no w.It's certain that many things from America are as much a part of people's lives as Spanish things.For example,Coca Cola is as familiar to everybody as any typical Spanish product.I've known about Coca Cola for my whole life.
However,it's different with Western fast food.For example,I don't think McDonald's is as successful in Spain as it is in other countries.In my opinion,one of the reasons may be the lifestyle of the Spanish people.The Spanish people normally eat at home.On the other hand,maybe McDonald's hamburgers will eventually replace the famous Spanish tapas.It's true that in every city in Spain you can find a McDonald's,and it is more popular among the Spanish children than among the adults.In any case,it's obvious that American culture is becoming more and more a part of our lives every day.
49.From the first paragraph we can know thatA.
A.the influence of America on Spain can be found everywhere
B.most Spanish people don't like to listen to their own music
C.fast food spreads from Spain to the United States
D.some Spanish actors go to America to improve their acting skills
50.What plays an important part in the spreading of American culture in Spain?B
A.American novels.B.Hollywood movies.C.McDonald's.D.American music.
51.Why did the government set some rules for the films shown in Spain?C
A.To protect foreign culture in Spain.
B.To earn more money from Spanish films.
C.To limit the number of foreign movies.
D.To unite the European Community.
52.What do you think Spanish tapas might be?D
A.The name of a drink.
B.The name of a restaurant.
C.A clothing brand.
D.A certain kind of food.

9.What makes us happy?
There has long been a opinion that money buys happiness.However,although"we really,really tried that for a couple of generations,it didn't work,"said Francine Jay,author of The Joy of Less,A Minimalist Living Guide:How to Declutter,Organize,and Simplify Your Life.
Thanks to a travel-inspired revelation (啟發(fā)),Jay has been happily living a simpler life for 12years."I always packed as lightly as possible,and found it exhilarating (令人高興的)to get by with just a small carry-on bag,"she told CNN."I thought if it feels this great to travel lightly,how amazing would it be to live this way?I wanted to have that same feeling of freedom in my everyday life."
Jay decided to get rid of all her excess (額外的)possessions and live with just the essentials."I wanted to spend my time and energy on experiences,rather than things."
Jay is a follower of a movement called"minimalism (極簡主義)".Growing numbers of people have been attracted to this lifestyle all over the world.They share the same feeling of disappointment with modern life and a desire to live more simply.Minimalists are typically progressive and concerned about the environment,Leah Watkins,a lead researcher at Otago University in New Zealand,told Stuff magazine in March.
But many simply experienced unhappiness caused by owning too many possessions.Depression with the materialism of our world isn't new.English romantic poet William Wordsworth summed up how dispiriting this was back in 1802,at the beginning of the industrial age,when he wrote:"Getting and spending,we lay waste our powers".His preference was to go back to nature.Closer to our owntimes,the hippies (嬉皮士)of the 1960s also sought to"drop out"of modern life.
And for many minimalists,their key is to unload.Without objects,they"believe people are forced more and more into the present moment and that's where life happens,"wrote Stuff.But does simplicity ever feel like a sacrifice?
"It's eliminating the excess 一 unused items,unnecessary purchases 一 from your life.Well,I may have fewer possessions,but I have more space…Minimalism is making room for what matters most,"said Jay.
And"the real questions",according to Duane Elgin,US social scientist,are"what do you care about?"and"What do you value?"
He told CNN:"It's important for people to realize minimalism isn't simply the amount of stuff we consume.It's about our families,our work,our connection with the larger world,our spiritual dimension.It's about how we touch the whole world.It's a way of life."

51.What inspired Francine Jay to live a simple life?C
A.A book she came across.
B.A follower of minimalism she met on a trip.
C.The pleasure she enjoyed from traveling lightly.
D.Her desire to keep up with modern life.
52.According to Leah Watkins,a typical minimalist tends toB.
a.be fed up with materialism
b.like saving and visiting nature often
c.be disappointed with his or her current life
d.be environmentally friendly and live with fewer things
A.a(chǎn),b  B.a(chǎn),d  C.a(chǎn),b,c  D.b.c,d
53.The underlined word"eliminating"in the second-to-last paragraph probably meansA.
A.removing B.distinguishingC.a(chǎn)cceptingD.improving
54.Which of the following would Duane Elgin probably agree withD?
A.Minimalism is a healthy lifestyle that is in conflict with modern life.
B.Minimalism means people have to sacrifice some pleasure to live simply.
C.Minimalism limits people's freedom to enjoy their lives to the fullest.
D.Minimalism enables people to reflect on what truly counts in their lives.
55.What was the author's main purpose in writing the text?C
A.To argue whether money buys happiness.
B.To recommend one of Francine Jay's books.
C.To explore the trend of minimalism.
D.To give tips on how to lead a happy life.

18.Of the many unpleasant emotions we can experience,fear may top the list.
(36)F.Fear can also keep us from pursuing the things in life that really matter-like following our dreams,and developing important relationships.I have some ideas,though,of how to be free from fear.
●Experience fear.
I used to be very afraid of speaking in front of people.I would get sweaty palms and my stomach would be so tied up that I wouldn't be able to eat.However,each time I spoke,I noticed afterwards that it wasn't that bad.Things I fear are never as bad in reality as I make them out in my mind.(37)D.
●Create space.
The first and most important step to being fearless is to create some space between ourselves and the emotion of fear.This isn't accomplished by ignoring the fear,or trying to talk ourselves out of it.(38)A.In fact,a recent research shows that by simply admitting the emotion we actually begin to reverse the"fight or flight(逃避)"response in the body.
●Control the breath and feel the fear.
Once we acknowledge the presence of fear,the second step is to control the breathing so that it becomes slower and gentler.We try to make the breath just a little bit longer,and feel how fear manifests(展現(xiàn)) in the body.(39)G.
With practice,we can create enough space between us and the emotion of fear so that we're able to replace a fearful thought with a positive one.(40)B.For instance,before I get up to speak in front of a group of people,I imagine that the audience is positively impressed by what I say and that I manage to complete the speech successfully.

A.Space is created only when we can honestly acknowledge that fear exists.
B.We can imagine a positive outcome for whatever we're about to do.
C.Fear,if left uncontrolled,can even destroy our life.
D.So one way to get rid of fear is to simply push ourselves to do things that we fear.
E.When we can see a positive outcome in our mind,fear no longer holds us back.
F.But fear is more than just physically unpleasant.
G.As we pay attention to the physical symptoms of fear,we can see fear objectively.

15.If you have ever been discouraged because of failure,please read on.Usually,achieving what you set out to do is not the important thing.Let me explain.
Two brothers decided to dig a deep hole behind their house.As they were working,several older boys stopped by to watch.
"What are you doing?"asked one of the visitors.
"We plan to dig a hole all the way through the earth!"one of the brothers answered excitedly.
The older boys began to laugh,telling the younger ones that digging a hole all the way through the earth was impossible.After a long silence,one of the diggers picked up a bottle full of spiders and insects.He removed the lid(蓋子) and showed the wonderful contents to the visitors who were laughing at them.Then he said quietly and confidently,"Even if we don't dig all the way through the earth,look at what we found along the way!"
Their goal was far too difficult,but it made them big.And that is what a goal is for-to make us move in the direction we have chosen.In other words,it sets us digging!
But not every goal will be fully achieved.Not every job will end successfully.Not every hope will come to pass.Not every love will last.But when you fall short of your aim,perhaps you can say,"Yes,but look at what I found along the way!Look at the wonderful things which have come into my life because I tried to do something!"And I believe it is the joy in the journey,in the end,that truly matters.

24.One of the brothers showed a bottle to the older boys toB.
A.present what tools they were using
B.show what they had found in their digging
C.frighten them away
D.make them curious
25.We can infer from the passage thatC.
A.digging a hole all the way through the earth is impossible
B.the writer thinks that the two brothers will reach their goal one day
C.a(chǎn) goal is something that we have chosen and want to achieve
D.everyone can succeed if he sets a goal
26.What is the best title for the passage?D
A.Failure is the mother of success     
B.Where there is a will,there is a way
C.No pains,no gains               
D.Joy in the journey.
