第二部分：阅读理解(20小题，每小题2分，满分50分)

第一节：阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。

A

For most of his life，Daniel Defoe worked as a business man. However，when he was 60，he wrote something that was a great success. It was Robinson Crusoe，the first novel in English literature.

Why do we say that Robinson Crusoe was the first novel in English literature？Novels are full-length invented stories. But even if the events and people in the story are invented，they are described in a way that makes them seem real. Before Robinson Crusoe，nobody in English literature had written a story like that. In Robinson Crusoe，Defoe describes Robinson's adventures in great detail. It seems that the writer is talking to the reader. In the early 18th century，most writers wrote in a complex style that was very different from the way people talked. Critics at the time didn't like the style of Robinson Crusoe. They didn't understand that Defoe had created something new in literature.

Robinson Crusoe is not only an exciting story but also a great novel. It makes the reader think about important questions about life. One interesting idea in the book is about the relationship between individuals and society. Robinson lives alone on an island. He is free to live in any way he wants，but he chooses to live as a civilized man. Another interesting idea in the book is how people need one another in society. On the island，there is nobody to help Robinson. He has to do everything by himself. He has to learn how to be a builder，a farmer and how to make clothes and shoes. This experience teaches Robinson how we all need the help of experts. Values are also discussed in the book. When Robinson goes back to the sunken ship，looking for things that could be useful，he picks up some gold and says，“This is no use to me.” He understands that something has value on condition that it is useful.

Robinson Crusoe was the first novel in English literature. It was also the first best-seller. When he wrote the story，Defoe changed English literature for ever.

41．From this passage，we know that Daniel Defoe ________.

A．showed his talents for writing when young

B．was the greatest novelist in English literature

C．was a merchant before he wrote Robinson Crusoe

D．wrote novels in his spare time

42．Which of the following is TRUE about Robinson Crusoe?

A．It was favoured by literary critics at that time.

B．It was based on a real story.

C．It opened a new era in English literature.

D．It was more a story than a novel.

B

We all know that money can't buy happiness，but many times we act as if we were happier with a bit more money. We are conditioned to want to be rich(when we know the rich aren't happy either)；we are trained to want the latest gadget or style that television tells us to want；we want to earn more money because then we'll have a good life.

But none of them will bring us happiness. No matter how much we earn，no matter how much we have in the bank，no matter how nice our clothing or cars or toys，none of them will make us happier. And the sad thing is that it could take us decades to pursue wealth and luxurious items before we realize this.

So what will bring us happiness？Luckily，it's these three things that don't cost a thing. These three things have been proven by surveys of hundreds of thousands of people about what they have，what their lives are like，and how happy they are.

Here they are，the Three Secrets to Happiness：

1．Good relationships. We have a human need to be close to and to be intimate with other human beings. Having good and supportive friendships，a strong marriage or close and loving relationships with our family members will make us much more
