Argentina in the late nineteenth century was an exciting place. Around 1870, it was experiencing an economic boom（富强）, and the capital, Buenos Aires, attracted many people. Farmers, as well as a flood of foreigners from Spain and Italy, came to Buenos Aires seeking jobs. These jobs didn’t pay well, and the people felt lonely and disappointed with their new life in the city. As the unhappy newcomers mixed together in the poor parts of the city, the dance known as the tango (探戈舞) came into being.
At the beginning the tango was a dance of the lower classes. It was danced in the bars and streets. At that time there were fewer women than men, so if a man didn’t want to be left out, his only choice was to dance with another man so that he could attract the attention of the few available women. Gradually, the dance spread into the upper classes of Argentinean society and became more respectable.
In Europe at this time, strong interest in dance from around the world was beginning. The interest in international dance was especially evident in Paris. Every kind of dance from ballet (芭蕾舞)to belly dancing could be found on the stages of the Paris theaters. After tango dances from Argentina arrived in Europe, they began to draw the interest of the public as they performed their exiting dance in cafes. Though not everyone approved of the new dance, saying it was a little too shocking, the dance did find enough supporters to make it popular.
The popularity of the tango continued to grow in many other parts of the world. Soldiers who returned to the United States from World War I brought the tango to North America. It reached Japan in 1926 , and in 2003 the Argentinean embassy in Seoul hired a local tango dancer to act as a kind of dance ambassador, and promote tango dancing throughout South Korea.
21. The origin of the tango is connected with _________.
A. Belly dances B. American soldiers C. Spanish city D. the capital of Argentina
22.Which of the following is true about the tango?
A. It was created by foreigners from Spain and Italy .

C. It was often danced by two male in the beginning .
D.A dancer in Seoul became the Argentinean ambassador.
23.Before World War I, the tango spread to________.
A. America B. Japan C. France D. South Korea
24.What can be the best title for the text?
A. How to Dance the Tango B. The History of the Tango

When asked about happiness, we usually think of something extraordinary, an absolute delight, which seems to get rarer the older we get.
For kids, happiness has a magical quality. Their delight at winning a race or getting a new bike is unreserved(毫不掩饰的).
In the teenage years the concept of happiness changes. Suddenly it’s conditional on such things as excitement, love and popularity. I can still recall the excitement of being invited to dance with the most attractive boy at the school party.
In adulthood the things that bring deep joy—love, marriage, birth—also bring responsibility and the risk of loss. For adults, happiness is complex.
My definition for happiness is “the capacity(力气）for enjoyment”. The more we can enjoy what we have, the happier we are. It’s easy to overlook (忽视) the pleasure we get from the company of friends, the freedom to live where we please, and even good health.
I experienced my little moments of pleasure yesterday. First I was overjoyed when I shut the last lunch-box and had the house to myself. Then I spent an uninterrupted morning writing, which I love. When the kids and my husband came home, I enjoyed their noise after the quiet of the day.
Psychologists tell us that to be happy we need a mix of enjoyable leisure time and satisfying work. I don’t think that my grandmother, who raised 14 children, had much of either. She did have a network of close friends and family, and maybe this is what satisfied her.
We, however, with so many choices and such pressure to succeed in every area, have turned happiness into one more thing we’ve got to have. We’ve been so self-conscious about our “right” to it that it’s making us upset. So we chase(追赶）it and equal it with wealth and success, without noticing that the people who have those things aren’t necessarily happier.
Happiness isn’t about what happens to us—it’s about how we see what happens to us. It’s the skillful way of finding a positive for every negative. It’s not wishing for what we don’t have ,but enjoying what we do possess.
25. As people grow older, they__________ .
A. feel it harder to experience happiness
B. connect their happiness less with others
C. will take fewer risks in chasing happiness
D. tend to believe responsibility means happiness
26. What can we learn about the author from Paragraph 5 and 6?
A. She cares little about her own health.
B. She enjoys the freedom of traveling.
C. She is easily pleased by things in daily life.
D. She prefers getting pleasure from housework.
27. People who equal happiness with wealth and success ___________.
A. consider pressure something blocking their way
B. stress their right to happiness too much
C. are at a loss to make correct choices
D. are more likely to be happy
28. What can be concluded from the passage?
A. Happiness lies between the positive and the negative .
B. Each man is the master of his own fate .
C. Success leads to happiness .
D. He who is satisfied is happy .
C
Your glasses may someday replace your smartphone, and some New Yorkers are ready for the change. Some in the city can't wait to try them on and use the maps and GPS that the futuristic eyewear is likely to include.
" I'd use it if I were hanging out with friends at 3 a. m. and going to the bar and wanted to see what was open," said Walter Choo, 40, of Fort Greene.
The smartphone-like glasses will likely come out this year and cost between $250 and $600, the Times said, possibly including a variation of augmented(增加的) reality, a technology already available on smartphones and tablets (平板电脑) that overlays information onto the screen about one's surroundings. So, for example, if you were walking down a street, indicators would pop up showing you the nearest coffee shop or directions could be plotted out and come into view right on the sidewalk in front of you.
" As far as a mainstream consumer product, this just isn't something anybody needs," said Sam Biddle, who writes for G. " We're used to having one thing in our pocket to do all these things," he added, "and the average consumer isn't gonna be able to afford another device (装置) that's hundreds and hundreds of dollars. "
Google publisher Seth Weintraub, who has been reporting on the smartphone-like glasses since late last year, said he is confident that this type of wearable device will eventually be as common as smartphones. "It's just like smartphones 10 years ago," Weintraub said. "A few people started getting emails on their phones, and people thought that was crazy. Same kind of thing. We see people bending their heads to look at their smartphones, and it's unnatural," he said. " There's gonna be improvements to that, and this a step there. "
29. One of the possible functions of the smartphone-like glasses is to ____.
A. program the opening hours of a bar
B. supply you with a picture of the future
C. provide information about your surroundings
D. update the maps and GPS in your smartphones
30. The underlined phrase "pop up" in the third paragraph probably means " ____".
A. develop rapidly B. get round quickly
C. appear immediately D. go over automatically
31. According to Sam Biddle, the smartphone-like glasses are ____.
A. necessary for teenagers B. attractive to New Yorkers
C. available to people worldwide D. expensive for average consumers
32. We can learn from the last two paragraphs that the smartphone-like glasses ____.
A. may have a potential market B. are as common as smartphones
C. are popular among young adults D. will be improved by a new technology
D
Imagine a mass of floating waste is two times the size of the state of Texas. Texas has a land area of more than 678,000 square kilometers. So it might be difficult to imagine anything twice as big.
All together, this mass of waste flowing in the North Pacific Ocean is known as the Great Pacific Ocean Garbage Patch ( 太平洋上的垃圾带). It weighs about 3,500,000 tons. The waste includes bags, bottles and containers—plastic products of all kinds.
The eastern part of the Great Pacific Garbage Patch is about 1,600 kilometers west of California. The western part is west of the Hawaiian Islands and east of Japan. The area has been described as a kind of oceanic desert, with light winds and slow moving water currents. The water moves so slow that garbage from all over the world collects there.
In recent years, there have been growing concerns about the floating garbage and its effect on sea creatures and human health. Scientists say thousands of animals get trapped in the floating waste, resulting in death or injury. Even more die from a lack of food or water after swallowing pieces of plastic. The trash can also make animals feel full, lessening their desire to eat or drink.
The floating garbage also can have harmful effects on people. There is an increased threat of infection of disease from polluted waste, and from eating fish that swallowed waste. Divers can also get trapped in the plastic.
Its existence first gained public attention in 1997. That was when racing boat captain and oceanographer Charles Moore and his crew sailed into the garbage while returning from a racing event. Five years earlier, another oceanographer learned of the rubbish after a shipment of rubber ducks got lost at sea. Many of those toys are now part of the Great Pacific Ocean Garbage Patch.
In August, 2009, a team from the University of California, San Diego became the latest group to travel to it. They were shocked by the amount of waste they saw. They gathered hundreds of sea creatures and water samples to measure the garbage patch’s effect on ocean environment.
33. How did the writer put forward the topic of the text?
A. By giving an example. B. By listing the facts.
C. By telling a story. D. By giving a comparison.
34. What do we know about the Great Pacific Ocean Garbage Patch?
A. It is made up of various kinds of plastic products.
B. It is a solid mass of floating waste materials.
C. It lies 1,600 kilometers east of California.
D. It caused animals and humans to get lost.
35. In which column of a newspaper can you most probably find the text?
A. Sports and entertainment. B. Media and culture.
C. Environment and society. D. Science and technology.

36 Scientists and experts have proved the uniqueness(独特性) of finger-prints and discovered that no exactly similar pattern is passed on from parents to children, though nobody knows why this is the case.
    The ridge （隆起） structure on a person's fingers does not change with growth and is not affected by surface injuries. Burns, cuts and other damage to the outer part of the skin will be replaced in time by new one, which bears a reproduction of the original pattern.  37 Some criminals make use of this fact to remove their own finger-prints but this is a dangerous and rare step to take.
     Finger-prints can be made very easily with printer's ink. They can be recorded easily.  38 Because of the simplicity and economy of this system, finger-prints have often been used as a method of solving criminal case. A suspected ( 被怀疑的）man may deny a charge but this may be useless.  39 When a suspect leaves finger-prints behind at the scene of a crime, they are difficult to detect with the naked eye. 40   Some of the marks found are incomplete but identification is possible if a print of a quarter of an inch square can be got.
