26、阅读下面短文，从各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项.
Philosophers from Aristotle to the Beatles have argued that money does not buy happiness. But it seems to help. Since 2005，Gallup, a pollster (民意调查) has asked a representative sample of adults from countries across the world to rate their life satisfaction on a scale from zero to ten. The headline result is clear : the richer the country, on average, the higher the level of self-reported happiness. The simple correlation (相关性) suggests that doubling GDP per person lifts life satisfaction by about 0.7 points.
Yet the prediction that as a country gets richer, its mood will improve has an unclear record. In 1974 Richard Easterlin, an economist, discovered that average life satisfaction in America had failed to develop between 1946 and 1970 even as GDP per person had grown by 65% over the same period. He went on to find a similar disconnection in other places, too. Although income is correlated with happiness when looking across countries—and although economic downturns are reliable sources of short-term suffering—long-term GDP growth does not seem to be enough to turn the average frown (皱眉) upside-down.
The “Easterlin paradox (悖论)” has been hotly debated since, with some economists claiming to find a link between growth and rising happiness by using better quality data. On March 20th the latest Gallup data were presented in the World Happiness Report, an annual UN-backed study. The new data provide some evidence for both sides of the debate, but on the whole, suggest that the paradox is alive and well.
There are important examples of national income and happiness rising and falling together. The most significant—in terms of population—is China, where GDP per person has doubled over a decade, while average happiness has risen by 0. 43 points. Among rich countries, Germany enjoys higher incomes and greater cheer than ten years ago. Venezuela, once the fifth-happiest country in the world, has become miserable as its economy has collapsed. Looking across countries, growth is correlated with rising happiness.
Yet that correlation is very weak. Of the 125 countries for which good data exist, 43 have seen GDP per person and happiness move in opposite directions. Like China, India is a populous developing economy that is growing quickly. But happiness is down by about 1.2 points in the past decade. America, the subject of Easterlin’s first study, has again seen happiness fall as the economy has grown. In total, the world’s population looks roughly equally divided between places where happiness and incomes have moved in the same direction over the past ten years, and places where they have separated.
【1】What can we learn from Paragraph 2?
A.Economic downturns do not cause people’s unhappiness.
B.Economic growth increased average life satisfaction in America.
C.Long-term GDP growth does not necessarily make people happy.
D.The correlation between people’s mood and income can be predicted.
【2】Which of the following countries has both a better economy and happier people?
A.India. B.America. C.Venezuela. D.China.
【3】The passage is mainly developed by__________.
A.giving explanations B.presenting research data
C.giving definition D.listing examples
【4】Which of the following does the writer probably agree with?
A.The relationship between economic growth and rising happiness is uncertain.
B.Countries with similar population tend to have more things in common.
C.Half of the world enjoys growth when economy and mood are positive.
D.National income and happiness will always rise and fall regularly.
27、 Which came first, the chicken or the egg? 【1】 Philosophers used it as an excuse to argue about cause and effect. What's more, it’s what is known as a paradox—a situation or statement that appears to present contrary facts, both of which can logically be true.
Some might say the chicken came first, since you can’t have an egg without a chicken to lay it. But others might argue the egg came first, since all chickens begin life inside of an egg. A paradox, right? 【2】 “It’s pretty easy to understand,” said Jasmina Wiemann, a scientist at Yale University. “The egg is much older, evolutionarily(进化地) , than the chicken.”
Chickens, as we all know, probably became domesticated (驯养) about 10,000 years ago. 【3】 These animals are known as jungle fowl or Gallus.
【4】 Dinosaurs, birds, reptiles and even mammals that lay eggs evolved about 300 million years ago, Wiemann said. This pushes the origins of the egg back even further.
By the way, if you thought it strange to see mammals are put into a group with egg-laying animals, you should know that egg-laying is part of our evolutionary history. And female humans today still produce eggs through a process called ovulation. The soft eggs without shell stay inside of humans. 【5】
A.Eggs existed even long before this.
B.This question has its roots in ancient Greece.
C.The answer remains mysterious even if you ask a specialist.
D.Eatable eggs came into being hundreds of millions of years ago.
E.The answer is rather simple if you talk to an ancient expert about it.
F.But the animals that they developed from date back to 21 million years ago.
G.Even stranger, some mammals still reproduce by laying eggs that survive outside the body.

29、Ever since I graduated from high school I've worked in the factories surrounding my hometown every summer. However, making the transformation between school and full-time blue-collar work during the break never gets any easier. For a student like me who considers any class before noon to be unacceptable, getting to a factory by 6 o'clock each morning is suffering. My friends never seem to understand why I'm so relieved to be back at school or that my summer vacation has been anything but a vacation.
There are few people as self-confident as a college student who has never been out in the real world. People of my age always seem to overestimate the value of their time and knowledge. In fact, all the classes did not prepare me for my battles with the machine I ran in the plant, which would jam whenever I absent-mindedly put in a part backward or upside down.
The most stressful thing about blue-collar life is knowing your job could disappear over night. Issues like being laid off and overseas relocation had always seemed distant to me until my co-workers told me that the unit I was working in would shut down within six months and move to Mexico, where people would work for 60 cents an hour.
After working 12-hour shifts (轮班) in a factory, the other optionshave become only too clear. " This job pays well, but it's hell on the body, " said one co-worker. " Study hard and keep reading. " she added. When I'm back at the university, skipping classes and turning in lazy re-writes seems too irresponsible after seeing what I would be doing without school. All the advice and public-service announcements about the value of an education that used to sound stale (陈腐的) now ring true.
My experiences in the factories have inspired me to make the most of my college years before I enter the real world for good.
