Money and success alone do not bring lasting happiness. Aristotle, a Greek thinker, said, “Happiness depends upon ourselves.” In other words, we make our own happiness. Here are a few suggestions to help you be happier.‎ The first secret of happiness is to enjoy the simple things in life. Too often, we spend so much time thinking about the future that we fail to enjoy the present, for example, getting into college or getting a good job. You should enjoy life’s simple pleasures, such as reading a good book, listening to your favorite music, or spending time with close friends. People who have several close friends often live happier and healthier lives.‎ Another secret to living a happy life is to be active, and have hobbies where you forget your problems and time. Many people experience dancing, or playing a sport, such as swimming. You can forget about your problems and only think about the activity.‎ Finally, many people find happiness in helping others. Studies show that people feel good when they spend their time helping others. If you want to feel happier, do good things for ‎ someone. You can help a friend with his or her studies, go shopping to buy food for an elderly person, or simply help out around the house by washing the dishes.‎ ‎5. The best title of this passage is ___________.‎ A. Good Friends Make You Happy ‎ B. The Secret of Happiness C. Money Makes You Happy ‎ D. Ideas for Helping Other People to Be Happy ‎6. The writer thinks that ___________.‎ A. It’s wrong to spend time on work ‎ B. hobbies take up too much time ‎ C. everyone knows how to live a happier life D. doing good things for someone can make you happier ‎7. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage?‎ A. Reading a good book. B. Traveling to a foreign country.‎ C. Playing a sport. D. Spending time with close friends.‎ C Florida is celebrating a big anniversary this year. Five hundred years ago, on April 2, 1513, Spanish explorer Juan Ponce de Leon arrived on the east coast of what is now Florida. Native Americans had been living there for centuries, but Ponce de Leon was the first European to set foot in what would become the United States.‎ According to legend(传说), Ponce de Leon may have landed in Florida by mistake. He is said to have been looking for an island called Bimini and its Fountain of Youth. The magical fountain could supposedly make old people young again. Instead, Ponce de Leon landed on the Florida peninsula(半岛) and claimed it for Spain. He named it La Florida, or “flowery place”.‎ Ponce de Leon explored more of Florida’s coasts over the next few months. He later returned to Spain but went back to Florida in 1521 to attempt to set up a permanent colony(殖民地). However，Native Americans attacked him and his companions, and Ponce de Leon was killed. It wasn’t until 1565 that Spain set up a successful colony at St. Augustine on Florida’s east coast. It is the oldest permanent European settlement in the U.S.‎ Florida didn’t belong to the U.S. until Spain lost control. It was admitted to the U.S. as the 27th state in 1845.‎ Today, Florida has one of the fastest-growing populations of any state. More than 19‎ ‎ million people call it home.‎ It’s also a popular destination for tourists. Last year, 89 million people visited the Sunshine State.

It is one of the longest migrations (迁徙) of any mammal.‎ All day, all summer long, in thecold waters near Alaska, gray whales eat and eat.‎ Instead of teeth, gray whales have baleen (鲸须) they use to get food from ocean water. They get big mouthfuls of muck (淤泥) from the ocean floor, then push that muck right back out through their baleen. The mucky water flows through, but tiny animals get trapped in the baleen and licked up.‎ When the water starts to freeze, the whales begin their long trip south. They swim night and day, without stopping to eat or rest. During the long journey, migrating whales may push ‎ their heads out of the water to see where they are.‎ Two months later, the whales reach Mexico. Babies are born here in warm, shallow (浅的) waters called lagoons (濒海湖). Ocean lagoons have no food for the adults, but the babies are safer here than in the open seas. All winter the babies grow big and strong.‎ In spring first the dads and teenagers leave the lagoons, then the moms with babies. Migrating gray whales swim close to shore, especially moms with babies. The ice is melting up north, and it’s time for the hungry whales to make the long journey back to their summer feeding grounds. ‎ ‎12.

The science of creating and reading coded messages is called cryptography.‎ ‎ There are three main types of cryptography. 17 ________ For example, the first letters of “My elephant eats too many eels” Spell out the hidden message “Meet me.”‎ ‎18 ______ You might represent each letter with a number, For example, Let’s number the ‎ letters of the alphabet, in order, from 1 to 26. If we substitute a number for each letter, the message “Meet me” would read “13 5 20 13 5.”‎ A code uses symbols to replace words, phrases, or sentences. To read the message of a real code, you must have a code book. 19_______ For example “bridge“ might stand for “meet” and “out” might stand for “me.” The message “bridge out” would actually mean “Meet me.”20 ____ However, it is also hard to keep a code book secret for long. So codes must be changed frequently.‎ A. It is very hard to break a code without the code book. B .In any language, some letters are used more than others. C. Only people who know the keyword can read the message. D.As long as there have been codes, people have tried to break them. E.You can hide a message by having the first letters of each word spell it out. F.With a code book, you might write down words that would stand for other words. G.Another way to hide a message is to use symbols to stand for specific letters of the alphabet. ‎ 第二部分 语言知识运用（共三节，满分50分）‎ 第一节 完形填空（共20小题; 每小题1.5分，满分30分） ‎ ‎　　阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C、和D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。‎ No one knows who was the first one to think of riding bikes in the mountains.
