四、閱讀理解

閱讀短文，根據(jù)短文的內(nèi)容從A、B、C、D四個(gè)選項(xiàng)中，選擇一個(gè)正確答案，并填在答題紙相應(yīng)的位置上。錯(cuò)選、多選或未選均無分。(本大題共10小題，每小題2分，共20分)

31.Passage 1Since we are social beings, the quality of our lives depends in large measure on our interpersonal relationships. One strength of the human conditions is our possibility to give and receive support from one another under stressful(有壓力的) conditions. Social support makes up of the exchange of resources among people based on their interpersonal(人際間的) ties. Those of us with strong support systems appear better able to deal with major life changes and daily problems. People with strong social ties live longer and have better health than those without such ties. Studies over types of illnesses, from depression (抑郁癥) to heart disease, show that the presence of social support helps people defend themselves against illness, and the absence of such support makes poor health more likely. Social support cushions stress in a number of ways. First, friends, relatives and co-workers may let us know that they value us. Our self-respect is strengthened when we feel accepted by others in spite of (盡管) our faults and difficulties. Second, other people often provide us with informational support. They help us to define and understand our problems and find solutions to them. Third, we typically find social companionship ( 同伴) supportive. Taking part in free-time activities with others helps us to meet our social needs while at the same time distracting(轉(zhuǎn)移注意力) us from our worries and troubles. Finally, other people may give us instrumental (手段的) support—money aid, material resources, and needed services—that reduces stress by helping us resolve and deal with our problems.Interpersonal relationships are important because they can help us to ______.

A.live a better life
B.smooth away daily problems
C.deal with life changes
D.cure types of illnesses

36.Passage 2There are two types of people in the world. Although they have equal degree of health and wealth and other comforts of life, one becomes happy and the other becomes unhappy. This arises from the different ways in which they consider things, persons，events and the resulting effects upon their minds. People who are to be happy fix their attention on the convenience of things: the pleasant parts of conversation, the well prepared dishes, the goodness of the wine and the fine weather. They enjoy all the cheerful things. Those who are to be unhappy think and speak only of the opposite things. Therefore, they are continually dissatisfied. By their remarks, they sour (使變壞) the pleasure of society, offend(頂撞) many people, and make themselves disagreeable everywhere. If this turn of mind was founded in nature, such unhappy persons would be the more to be pitied. The intention of criticizing(批評(píng)) and being disliked is perhaps taken up by imitation(模仿). It grows into a habit, unknown to its possessors. The habit may be strong, but it may be cured when those who have realized its bad effects on their interests and tastes. I hope this little warning may be of service to them, and help them change this habit. Although in fact it is chiefly an act of the imagination, it has serious results in life since it brings on deep sorrow and bad luck. Those people offend many others; nobody loves them, and no one treats them with more than the most common politeness and respect. This frequently puts them in bad temper and draws them into arguments. If they aim at getting some advantages in social position or fortune, nobody wishes them success. Nor will anyone start a step or speak a word to favor their hopes. If they bring on themselves public objections, no one will defend or excuse them, and many will join to criticize their wrongdoings. These people should change this bad habit and be pleased with what is pleasing, without worrying needlessly about themselves and others. If they do not, it will be good for others to avoid any contact(接觸) with them. Otherwise, it can be disagreeable and sometimes very inconvenient, especially when one becomes mixed up in their quarrels.
People who are unhappy ______.

A.always consider things differently from others
B.usually are affected by the results of certain things
C.usually misunderstand what others think or say
D.always discover the unpleasant side of certain things

37. The phrase“ sour the pleasure of society” most nearly means“______”.

A.have a good taste with social life
B.make others unhappy
C.scold others openly
D.enjoy the pleasure of life

38. We can infer from the passage that ______.

A.we should pity all such unhappy people
B.such unhappy people are dangerous to social life
C.unhappy people should and can get rid of the habit of unhappiness
D.unhappy people cannot understand happy persons

39. If such unhappy persons insist on keeping the habit, the author suggests that people should ______.

A.avoid any communication with them
B.show no respect an politeness to them
C.persuade them to recognize the bad effects
D.quarrel with them until they realize the mistakes

310. In this passage, the writer mainly ______.

A.describes two types of people
B.laughs at the unhappy people
C.suggests the unhappy people should get rid of the habits of unhappiness
D.tells people how to e happy in life
