二、阅读理解（共3道试题，共60分。）
1.    Education is not an end, but a means to an end. In other words, we do not educate children only for the purpose of educating them. Our purpose is to fit them for life.
    In some modern countries it has for some time been fashionable to think that by free education for all —whether rich or poor, clever or stupid —one can solve all the problems of society and build a perfect nation. But we can already see that free education for all is not enough; we find in such countries a far larger number of people with university degrees; they refuse to do what they think “low” work; and, in fact, work with hands is thought to be dirty and shameful in such countries. But we have only to think a moment to understand that the work of a completely uneducated farmer is far more important than that of a professor; we can live without education, but we die if we have no food.
If no one cleaned our streets and took the rubbish away from our houses, we should get terrible diseases in our towns.
In fact, when we say that all of us must be educated to fit us for life, it means that we must be educated in such a way that, firstly, each of us can do whatever work suited to his brains and ability and, secondly, that we can realize that all jobs are necessary to society, and that is very bad to be ashamed of one’s work. Only such a type of education can be considered valuable to society.
1).The writer of the passage thinks that
A. education can settle most of the world’s problems
B. free education for all probably leads to a perfect world
C. free education won’t help to solve social problems
D. all the social problems can’t be solved by education
满分：4分
2).The writer wants prove that
A. our society needs all kinds of jobs
B. our society needs free education for all
C. a farmer is more important than a professor
D. people with university degree refuse to do what they think “low” work
满分：4分
3).According to the passage
A. work with hands is dirty and shameful
B. work with hands is low work
C. work with hands is the most important
D. we can’t regard work with hands as low work
满分：4分
4).The purpose of education is
A. to choose a system of education
B. to prepare children mainly for their future work
C. to let everyone receive education fit for him
D. to build a perfect world
满分：4分
5).Which of the following statement is incorrect
A. Education is not an end, but a means to an end.
B. If no one cleaned our streets and took the rubbish away from our houses, we should get terrible diseases in our towns.
C. we can live without education, but we die if we have no food.
D. Having food is more important than education.

2.    Studies in advanced economies show, as one would expect, that for every 1,000 pounds increase in income there is, indeed, an increased sense of well-being (幸福)---but only for the poorest fifth of the population. Beyond that, there is almost no increase in people’s satisfaction with their lives as income levels increase. In Australia, there is a slightly closer relation between level of income and well-being, but in the US and England there is only an unimportant and irregular relationship. The rich are no happier than the middle classes and the upper middle class is no happier than the lower middle class. Beyond poverty or near-poverty levels of income, if money buys happiness, it buys very little and often it buys none at all.
    This is strange because market economists report that the purpose of the market is to maximize the satisfaction of human wants. But they measure that satisfaction, called “utility”, in a circular manner: satisfaction with something is revealed by the very fact that it was bought.
    Yet studies show that the things that contribute most to a sense of well-being cannot be bought, such as a good family life, friendship, work satisfaction, and satisfaction with the uses of one’s leisure. There is little relation between these things and people’s incomes. For many people security of income actually contribute more to measured well-being than does level of income.
    Most people believe that if they had 25 percent more income they would be much more satisfied with their lives, but those whose incomes are now at that higher level are not more satisfied with their lives. Changes in income do briefly influence our sense of well-being, but even the happiness that comes with an increase in income does not last long.

1).According to the author, people from ____ would feel happier if there is an income increase.
A. upper middle class
B. lower working class
C. lower middle  class
D. upper rich class
满分：4分
2).The author implies, but does not directly say, that market economists would NOT agree with one of the following suggestions. Which one
A. Income increase cannot bring about sense of happiness.
B. Happiness can be bought in a certain sense.
C. Satisfaction of human demands can be met through purchases of goods.
D. Markets can provide people with satisfaction and happiness.
满分：4分
3).According to the passage, all of the following contribute more to the sense of happiness EXCEPT ____.
A. work satisfaction
B. work
C. level of income
D. good family life
满分：4分
4).It can be inferred from the passage that in the author’s opinion, sense of happiness is all of the following EXCEPT that ______.
A. it can vary from one social class to another
B. it always changes with the increase in income
C. it is related to many factors
D. it cannot be increased easily
满分：4分
5).What kind of relationship is the passage mainly discussing about
A. Income increase and sense of happiness
B. Poverty and happiness
C. Income and satisfaction
D. Income increase and social classes

Hi, Sharon,
    I've only got 10 days left in England. Can you believe I've already been here for a year There's so much to do before I leave! I really must buy presents for my English friends to thank them for all their help. I have to move out of my room on Friday because Franco has got another tenant. At least I don't have to find somewhere else to live. I'm going to spend a few days with friends. He is letting the whole flat because Mary is moving just before her marriage. The time has gone so quickly. I cannot believe that I've been here for a whole year. And I must start packing too - I have bought a lot since I came, and I need another suitcase. I'll give some things to charity shops I think.
    Anyway, I'm really writing to say that I'll be back in Shanghai on the 27 April, and it would be great to see you to catch up on all our news. I'll phone as soon as I get back.
