[语篇解读] 本文是议论文。全文论述了享受幸福的最好时间是现在，而不是将来。 1．C 【解析】考查形容词辨析。联系空后的内容“because our children are not old

enough”可知，因为孩子太小，我们感到沮丧。

2．C 【解析】考查代词辨析。本句的意思是“当他们大了一点以后，一切会好起来。”本题中A项干扰性最大。we will be well意思是“身体好”，因此可排除。 3．A 【解析】考查连词辨析。前后为因果关系，因此选because。

4．B 【解析】考查形容词比较级辨析。联系空后的“when they grow out of the teen years”可知，有时我们错误地认为“孩子长大了，我们就更幸福了”。

5．A 【解析】考查名词辨析。联系第一段第一句我们可以得出答案。本题中D项大干扰性最大，全文讲述的是生活中的幸福，因此可排除。

6．D 【解析】考查名词辨析。联系前后的“a nicer car”及空后的“retire”我们知道，人们常盼望有一个假期。

7．C 【解析】考查名词辨析。空后的内容是生活的常理。根据句意：真相就是没有比现在更好的幸福的时刻了。可知选C。

8．D 【解析】现在就是幸福的时刻。本题中A，B均有一定干扰性。联系全文可知：要想幸福，要在现在。

9．A 【解析】考查名词辨析。联系后文所说的生活中充满了挫折与苦难，我们知道作者认为生活充满了挑战。

10．C 【解析】考查介词短语辨析。尽管有(所提到的)这一切，还是要决定幸福更好。本题中A项干扰性最大。instead of意思是“代替”，可排除。

11．D 【解析】考查短语辨析。我们要经历苦难，get through ordeal：经历苦难。 12．A 【解析】考查动词辨析。联系空前的a bill可得出此答案。

13．B 【解析】考查动词辨析。联系前文的“life was about to start”我们可以得此答案。

14．B 【解析】考查名词辨析。联系前文“But there was always some obstacle…a bill to be paid.”可知此处为“障碍”。

15．A 【解析】考查固定搭配。point of view为固定搭配，意思是“观点”。 16．C 【解析】考查固定搭配。联系全文最后一句“Live and enjoy the moment.”可得出此答案。本题中A，B均有一定干扰性。联系后文“So stop __18__ school to end…before deciding to be happy.”我们可排除A，B。

17．B 【解析】考查名词辨析。联系后文“so stop __18__ school to end…”我们可知，作者认为时间不等人。

18．C 【解析】考查动词短语辨析。联系空后的to end可得此答案。本题中D项有较大干扰性。联系前句“time waits for no one”可排除。

19．A 【解析】考查动词辨析。联系空前的“to lose ten pounds”可得此答案。本题中B项有较大干扰性。to reduce与前文的to lose重复，可排除。

20．B 【解析】考查形容词比较级辨析。联系后文“Live and enjoy the moment”可知，现在比任何时候更要享受幸福。 Ⅱ.阅读理解

A

Facebook friends cannot replace the real thing，say psychologists(心理学家)． People are happier and laugh 50% more when they talk face to face with friends or via webcam(web camera)than when they use social networking sites，a study has found.

Dr Roberts，a famous lecturer at the University of Chester，said such websites don't appear to help people make true friendships.Based on two questionnaires (调查问卷)，he found there was no link between Facebook use and people with larger groups of friends.

Dr Roberts，whose work will be presented at the British Psychological Society conference in Harrogate，said，“The bottom line conclusion is that our relationships are not dependent on the quantity of our communication.They depend on quality，and even Skype(一种网络即时语音沟通工具) is better at increasing the quality of our communication than time spent on Facebook.” Even talking on the phone or texting does not make people feel as good as sharing a smile，the research says.The studies suggest quality，not quantity，of communication is the most important for keeping friends for life.

People find the most satisfying relationships come from a small number of close friends，with an outer “ring” of 10 significant others.With these people，it doesn't matter what type of social media you use for communication.But people who want to “contact the world at large” using Facebook can be disappointed because they_spread_themselves_too_thinly，claim researchers.

In a third study，Dr Roberts asked people to communicate with friends face to face or via Skype and keep a 14day diary.This was compared with communicating via phone，text messages or social networking sites.People communicating face to face or on Skype were 50% more likely to laugh，and they rated themselves as significantly happier.

1．Dr Roberts's finding that there was no connection between Facebook use and people with many friends was ________. A．based on questionnaires B．based on conversations
