they say ireland’s the best ireland is the best place in the world to live in for 2005 according to a life quality ranking that appeared in britain’s economist magazine last week．the ambitious attempt to compare happiness levels around the world is based on the principle that wealth is not the only measure of human satisfaction and well-being． the index of 111countries uses data on incomes,health,unemployment,climate,political stability,job security，gender equality as well as what the magazine calls“freedom，family and community 1ife” despite the bad weather, troubled health service，traffic congestion(拥挤)，gender inequality and the high cost of living．ireland scored an impressive 8．33 points out 0f 10．that put it well ahead of second-place switzerland．which managed 8．07．zimbabwe．troubled by political insecurity and hunger, is rated the gloomiest(最差的)，picking up only 3．89points．
The magazine admitted measuring quality of life is not a straightforward thing to do，and that its findings would have their critics．
No．2 on the 1ist is Switzerland．The other nations in the top 10 are Norway．Luxembourg. Sweden,Australia，Iceland，Italy,Denmark and Spain．
The UK is positioned at No．29,a much lower position chiefly because of the social and
family breakdown recorded in official statistics．The US，which has the second highest per capita GDP(人均国内生产总值)after Luxembourg，took the 13th place in the survey China was in the Lower half of the league at 60th

Even Intelligent People Can Fail
1 The striking thing about the innovators who succeeded in making our modern world is how often they failed．Turn oil a light，take a photograph，watch TV,search the web，jet across the Pacific Ocean．talk on a cellphone(手机)．The innovators who left us these things had to find the way to success through a maze(错综复杂)of wrong turns．
2 We have just celebrated the 125th anniversary of American innovator Thomas Edison’s success in heating n thin line to white，hot heat for 14 hours in his lab in New Jersey，US．He did that on October 22．1879．and followed up a month later by keeping a thread of common cardboard alight(点亮着的)in an airless space for 45 hours．Three years later he went on to light up half a square mile of downtown Manhattan，even though only one of the six power plants in his design worked when he turned it on，on September 4，1882．
3 “Many of 1ife’S failures”the supreme innovator said．“are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up”Before that magical moment in October 1879．Edison had worked out no fewer than 3．000 theories about electric light．But in only two cases did
his experiments work．
4 N0 one likes failure，but the smart innovators learn from it．Mark Gumz．the head of the camera maker Olympus America Inc．attributes some of the company’S successes in technology to understanding failure．His popular phrase is：“You only fail when you quit”
5 0ver two centuries,the most common quality of the innovators has been persistence That is another way of saying they had the emotional ability to keep up what they were doing．Walt Disney,the founder of Disneyland，was so broke after a succession of financial failures that he was left shoeless in his office because he could not afford the US$1．50 to get his shoes from the repair shop．Pioneering Car maker Henry Ford failed with one company and was forced out of another before he developed the Model T Car．
6 Failure is harder to bear in today’s open,accelerated world．Hardly any innovation works the first time But an impatient society and the media want instant success When American music and movie master David Geffen had a difficult time，a critic said nastily that the only difference between Geffen Records (Geffen’s company)and the Titanic(the ship that went down) was that the Titanic had better music．Actually，it wasn’t．After four years of 10sses．Geffen had so many hits(成功的作品)he could afford a ship as big as the Titanic all to himself．
第4部分：阅读理解(第31～45题，每题3分，共45分)
下面有3篇短文，每篇短文后有5道题，每道题后面有4个选项。请根据文章的内容从每题所给的4个选项中选择1个最佳答案，涂在答题卡相应的位置上。
第一篇 Two People，Two Paths
You must be familiar with the situation：Dad’s driving，Mum’s telling him where to go．He’s sure that they need to turn 1eft．But she says it’s not for another two blocks．Who has the better sense of direction?Men or women?
They both do,a new study says．but in different ways． Men and women．Canadian researchers have found，have different methods of finding their way．Men look quickly at landmarks f地标)and head off in what they think is the right direction Women．however．try to picture the whole route in detail and then f01low the path in their head，“Women tend to be more detailed．”said Edward Cornell，who led the study。“while men tend to be a little bit faster and…a little bit more intuitive(直觉感知的)”
In fact．said Cornell．“sense of direction”isn’t one skill but two．The first is the“survey method，’．This is when you see an area from above，such as a printed map You can see．for example，where the hospital is，where the church is and that the supermarket is on its right
The second skill is the“route method”This is when you use a series of directions．Yon start from the hospital．then turn 1eft．turn right，go uphill—and then you see the supermarket．
Men are more likely to use the survey method while women are more likely to use one route and follow directions Both work．and neither is better .Some scientists insist that these different skills have a long history．They argue it is because of the difference in traditional roles．
In ancient times．young men often went far away with the older men to fish or hunt The trip took hours or days and covered unfamiliar places．The only way to know where you were was to use the survey method to remember landmarks—the mountains．the 1akes and so on．
The women，on the other hand，took young girls out to find fruits and plants．These activities were much closer to home but required learning well—used paths．So，women’s sense of space was based on learning certain routes
31 When finding his way Dad tends to rely on
A his intuitive knowledge
B his book knowledge
C Mum’s assistance
D the police’s assistance
32 Women are more likely to use
A 山e survey method
B the traditional method．
C the route method
D the right method．
33 Which works better．the route method or the survey method?
A The survey method
B 111e route method．
C Either．
D Neither
34 Which of the following is NOT a landmark?
A Along river．
B A high mountain．
C A magnificent church
D A path in your head
35 Women developed a sense of space out of the need
A to go fishing．
B to go hunting．
C to learn well-used paths．
D to go swimming．
第二篇 Dancing in the Streets
If there is one thing certain to get Brazilians on their feet，it is the Rio Carnival(狂欢节)．Held in Rio de Janeiro．the country’s biggest city．the carnival began on February 20 when the mayor gave key of the city to Rei Momo—the Lord of Misrule(无序之皇)
On his orders，each year people turn the city into a paradise of dance and music．The following six days are so fun of parades，street dancing，fantastic clothes and partying(聚会)that many people forget about eating and sleeping
“It was the passion of the carnival that attracted me to Brazil and made me settle down in Rio．”said Bob Nadkarni．a British man who has lived in the city for several years For many Brazilians．the centrepiece of the carnival is samba(桑巴舞)，a typical Brazilian dance．Every year,tens of thousands of visitors and locals show off their passion and energy iu the streets． following the beat(节拍)of the Latin music．
The climax to this street party is the float(彩车)parade，in which floats decorated with tons of fresh flowers by various samba schools and local communities move through the city．On the top of each float stands the candidate for the Drum Queen，who is chosen at the end of the party．while most people are free to enjoy the celebrations。Rio’s police officers have to keep a clear head．Following the murder of three offlcers in a gunfight early last week，the Brazilian Government has tightened security in Rio．The street fighting，robbery and sex crimes that accompany the carnival are very difficult to police．
Carnivals began in ancient Rome as a celebration at which people fed wild wolves，in honour of the city’s founder who was said to have been raised by a she—wolf．Brazil gave new life to this tradition and so．despite the troubles．the carnival will remain a symbol of the country’s culture．

A dancing in the streets．
B putting on colorful clothes
C eating a lot of food．
D holding exciting parades．
37How long does the carnival last?
A Six days．
B A whole week．
C Eight days
D The whole of February
38The word“centerpiece’’in the 3rd paragraph means
A the most important part．
B the middle part
C the central part of the city
D the most attractive decoration
39According to the passage，Bob Nadkami is
A a Brazilian who has come back from Britain．
B a British man who visits Rio for the carnival．
C a British man who has come to live in Brazil．
D a Brazilian who is attracted by the carnival．
40Which of the following statements is INCORRECT?
A The earliest carnivals were held in ancient Rome
B Carnivals were originally a tradition of the Brazilians
C Carnivals were originally a tradition of the Romans．
D The Brazilians have integrated the Roman carnival into their culture．
第三篇 More Than a Ride to School
The National Education Association claims，“The sch001 bus is a mirror of the community．”They further add that，unfortunately，what appears on the exterior(外部)does not always reflect the reality of a chosen community．They are right．and sometimes it reflects more!Just ask Liesl Denson Riding the school bus has been more than a ride to school for Liesl．
Bruce Hardy,school bus driver for A1thouse Bus Company has been Liesl’s bus driver since kindergarten Last year when Liesl’s family moved to Parkesburg，knowing her bus went by her new residence，she requested to ride the same bus．
This year Lieslis a senior and will enjoy her last year riding the bus．She says．“It s been a great ride so far! My bus driver is so cool and has always been a good friend and a good listener． Sometimes when you’re a child adults do not think that what you have to say is important．Mr． Hardy always listens to what you have to say and makes you feel important．”Her friends Ashley Batista and Amanda Wolfe agree
Bmce Hardy has been making Octorara students feel special since 1975．This year he will celebrate 30 years working for Althouse Bus Transportation．Company President，Larry Althouse acknowledges Bruce Hardy’s outstanding record．“Yon do not come by employees like Bruce these days；he has never missed a day of work and has a perfect driving record．Recognized in 2000 by the Pennsylvania School Bus Association for driving 350，000 accident free miles，HardY’s reputation is made further evident through the relationships he has made with the students that ride his bus．”
Althouse further added．“Althouse Bus Transportation was established 70 years ago and has been providing quality transportation ever since．My grandfather started the business with one bus A1thouse Bus Transportation is delighted to have the opportunity to bring distinctive and safe service to our local sch001 and community and looks forward to continuing to provide quality service for many more years to come．”
Three generations of business is not all the company has enjoyed．Thanks to drivers like Bruce Hardy, they have been building relationships through generations．Liesl’s mother Carol also enjoys fond memories of riding Bruce Hardy’s bus to the Octorara School District．
41 The word‘‘mirror”in the first line could be best replaced by
A “vehicle”
B “device”
C “company”
D “reflection”

51 B 百幕大三角区是海洋中最大的谜团之一。0f表示所属关系，是合适的选择。
52 D 这里需要填入一个动词，这就排斥了A和c。look不跟动词不定式，因此只有seem是正确的。
53 c rest和others都不能放在名词前，another·跟单数名词。因此只有other是正确的选择。
54 A 这个句子表达的是否定的意思，即“这些船没有留下……便失踪了”，所以只能选择without这个介词。
55 c 表示“据说”用“It is said…”。整个句子说的是：据说，Christopher Columbus 是记录这一海域怪现象的第一人。
56 A 表示具体的一天前面用On。又如：He was born on May 4，1980．他生于1980年5月4日。from和since表示“从那一天起”。
57 D 表示飞机起飞的动词组是take off。
58 c 动词blame可以跟for，也可以跟on搭配。试比较： They blame him for the Fire.They blame the fire on him．他们把火灾归罪于他。根据位置，此处应用on。
59 A 注意：miss和massing是两个不同的词。miss是“想念”，“错过”的意思。missing是“失踪”的意思。显然，此处应用missing。
60 B 前面的either一是很好的提示，告诉我们应用or。either or表示“或是…… 或是……”。
61 A 倒数第二段讲的是其他的解释。因此用also。no是否定词。barely和hardly是具有否定意义的副词。
62 c 这里需要一个引导定语从句的词，由于先行词是t)laces，所以应用where。
63 A这里要表示的是“(不是)……而是……”的意思，所以应用．_3stead of。
64 D 这里需要一个表示因果关系的词。在四个选项中只有therefore表示因果关系。
65 B to be known for是“因……而出名”，to be known as是“作为……而著称”。又如：He is known for his hum or他以幽默出名。He is known as a humorist．大家都知道他是幽默大师。
