21、September 23 marks the start of a new season. 【1】 In Great Britain, the third season of the year usually has only one name: autumn. But if you travel across the Atlantic, you’ll find that people use both fall and autumn interchangeably when referring to this time of year, making it the only season in the English language with two widely accepted names. 【2】
According to Dictionary.com, fall isn’t a modern name that followed the more traditional autumn. The two terms are actually first recorded within a few hundred years, with the term fall being used even a bit earlier.
【3】 The word is of Germanic origin and meant “picking” or “collecting”, a nod to the act of gathering and preserving crops in the field before winter. In the 1500s, English speakers began referring to the season separating the hot and cold months as either the fall of the leaf or the spring of the leaf, or fall and spring for short. 【4】 By the end of the 1600s, autumn, from the French word “automne” and the Latin “autumnus”, had overtaken fall as the standard British term for the third season.
Around the same time England adopted autumn, the first-ever British American colonists (殖民者) were voyaging to North America. 【5】 While the former fell out of fashion overseas, it established itself in the local vocabulary by the time America won its independence. Today, using both words to describe the season before winter is still a unique American behavior.
A．With them they brought the words fall and autumn.
B．The Americans prefer using fall to using autumn.
C．However, what exactly you should call that season depends on where you are.
D．But for some reason, only spring had staying power in Britain.
E．It is time to gather apples, rice and other things for the farmers.
F．So what is it about the season that makes it so special?
G．Before either word appeared, the season between summer and winter was known as harvest.
22、Punks, Ravers, Mods and Teddy Boys. No, these aren't some hot new bands, but the names of a number of British youth subcultures(亚文化) from the last 70 years.
Youth Club, a UK not-for-profit organization, released a book earlier this year celebrating many different subcultures from throughout Britain s recent history.
"A catalyst(催化剂) for creativity on the worldwide stage, British youth culture movements from the Teddy Boys of the 1950s to the grime Scene of the 2000s continue to play a pioneering role in music, fashion and creativity across the globe," it wrote on its website.
These subcultures were traditionally a way for young people to show their personalities to others. Walking around London in the 1970s would have meant seeing dozens of young "punks" - people dressed in ripped denim(破洞牛仔裤), leather jackets, body piercings(穿孔) and with brightly-dyed hair—on the streets. And in the90s, “ravers” were young people who threw all-night parties in abandoned buildings or car parks.
So, what was the reason behind these subcultures?
"On both sides of the Atlantic, more and more young disappointed teenagers were looking for an escape from the boredom and constraints(约束)of society, "wrote lan Youngs, BBC entertainment reporter. "Unemployment, racial tensions and social upheaval (剧变)added fuel to their fires."
Youth subcultures have all but disappeared in the West. Some experts believe the reason for this is the instant and low-priced availability of music and clothing in the internet age.
"Fashion and music, they’re much cheaper and they’re much faster today, " Ruth Adams, a culture lecturer at Kings College London told The Guardian.
"When I was a teenager, you had to stick to one type of music or fashion, because it cost more money. Now, it' s all a bit more blurry(模糊不清的),” she said, believing that it's harder to figure out someone's personality or music tastes nowadays just by looking at them.
Despite this, Adams believes that today’s young people are still finding their own way to express themselves, but in a more modern way.
"It's certainly happening online," she said. "It's a lot easier to use personas(伪装) online just by showcasing certain types of mysterious knowledge."
【1】According to the text, British youth subcultures____.
A. could be traced back to the 1970s

b. Young people's longing for fame and wealth.
c. The social pressure young people suffered.

A. a b
B. a c
C. b d
D. c d
【3】Which of the following would Ruth Adams probably agree with?
A. Music and fashion trends develop too fast for young people to follow today.
B. Young people today are less willing to express themselves as her peers did.
C. Young people today are less interested in music and fashion than her peers used to be.
D. The internet makes it harder to figure out the personalities of young people today.
【4】What's the author' s attitude toward subcultures?
A. Objective
B. Negative
C. Doubtful
D. Supportive
23、 Life satisfaction is the way persons evaluate their lives and how they feel about their directions and options for the future. It's a measure of well-being and may be evaluated in terms of mood, satisfaction with relations with others and with achieved goals and self-concepts to cope with daily life. It's having a favorable attitude towards one's life as a whole rather than just an evaluation of current feelings. Life satisfaction has been measured in relation to economy, education, experiences, and residence, as well as many other topics.
Life satisfaction can reflect experiences that have influenced a person in, a positive way. These experiences have the ability to motivate people to pursue and reach their goals. As a matter of fact, in these experiences there are two kinds of emotions that may positively influence how people understand their life. Hope and optimism both consist of emotional processes that are usually directed towards the reaching of goals. People who have higher life satisfaction are always full of hope for a better future; additionally, optimism is linked to higher life satisfaction, while pessimism is related to symptoms in depression.
The psychologist, Yuval Palgi, studied the old-old-people who were primarily in their nineties. This subject group was found to have thought highly of their past and present, but they thought lower of their future. A large factor that was talked about in life satisfaction was intelligence. The experiments talk of how life satisfaction grows as people become older because they become wiser and more knowledgeable, so they begin to see that life will be better as they grow older and understand the important things in life more. But when they step into their nineties, future becomes a luxury to them.
According to Seligman, the happier people are, the less they are focused on the negative. Happier people also have a greater tendency to like other people, which promotes a happier environment, which then correlates to a higher level of the persons' satisfaction with their life.
【1】What can we learn about life satisfaction from Paragraph 1?
A.It can be easily measured through income and education.
B.It includes a positive attitude towards people's entire life.
C.It merely determines people's attitude towards the future.
D.It has nothing to do with the evaluation of current feelings.
【2】Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage ?
A.The wealthier a person is, the happier he will feel.
B.Happy people are more likely to get along well with others.
C.Happy people won’t be influenced by the negative items in life.
D.Intelligence plays a leading role in determining people’s happiness.
【3】What was the attitude of most old-old towards their future?
A.They were less hopeful about it. B.They thought highly of it.
C.They felt satisfied with it. D.They were scared of it.
【4】What may be the best title for the text?
A.Old People Have Much More Life Satisfaction
B.Life Satisfaction—the Key to a Happier Life
C.Optimism Ensures Life Satisfaction
D.Emotions Affect Life Satisfaction
24、Many people view life as a pyramid with those on the bottom serving those above them. They envy the people at the top, believing joy and happiness is obtained by being served. 【1】They passionately seek the top of the world's imaginary pyramid. They reach desperately for the money, fame or power that would seat them higher. Unluckily, they often don't realize their pursuits are misplaced until they have sacrificed many good gifts and simple joys along the way.
【2】We can live lives of less stress and less anxiety. We begin to feel more fulfilled and more alive. Living for others ends our need for a social rank. It becomes a great weight off our shoulders when we no longer seek power over others. Real joy is found not in being served, but in choosing to serve.
And experiencing this unexpected happiness and freedom is not as hard as some people think:
1.Open your eyes to the needs around you.【3】They are in your home, your neighborhood, and your workplace. The first, most important step is to simply notice them.
2.【4】Service to others costs something — sometimes money, sometimes time, sometimes reputation, and almost always energy. See the price, pay it anyway, and enjoy the return on investment.
3.Do not expect something in return. Remove what's-in-it-for-me question that motivates so many people today.【5】 And you will be repaid with joy and fulfillment in countless other ways.
A．Joyfully pay the price.
B．They decide to give in.
C．So they make every effort.
D．Many people enjoyed being served.
E．Help with no expectation of repayment.
F．People who need your help exist all around you.
G．We can say no to modern culture's games of promotion.
