9、enged by threats and uncertainties from wars,terrorism,economic crises and a widespread outbreak of infectious diseases?The answer is yes,according to a new book The 10 Golden Rules:Ancient Wisdom from the Greek Philosophers on Living a Good Life.The book is co-authored by Long Island Universitys ph
10、ilosophy professor Michael Soupios and economics professor Panos Mourdoukoutas.B C Soupios,along with his co-author Panos Mourdoukoutas,developed their 10 golden rules by turning to the men behind that philosophy Aristotle,Socrates,Epictetus and Pythagoras,among others.The first ruleexamine your lif
11、eis the common thread that runs through the entire book.Soupios says that it is based on Platos observation that the unexamined life is not worth living.“The Greeks are always concerned about boxing themselves in,in terms of convictions(信念),”he says.“So take a step back,switch off the automatic pilo
12、t and actually stop and reflect about things like our priorities,our values,and our relationships.”Stop worrying about what you can not control D As we begin to examine our life,Soupios says,we come to Rule No.2:Worry only about things that you can control.“The individual who promoted this idea was
13、a Stoic philosopher.His name is Epictetus,”he says.“And what the Stoics say in general is simply this:There is a larger plan in life.You are not really going to be able to understand all of the dimensions of this plan.You are not going to be able to control the dimensions of thisplan.”E So,Soupios e
14、xplains,it is not worth it to waste our physical,intellectual and spiritual energy worrying about things that are beyond our contro l.“I can not control whether or not I wind up getting the disease swine flu,for example.”He says.“I mean,there are some cautious steps I can take,but ultimately I can n
15、ot guarantee myself that.So what Epictetus would say is sitting at home worrying about that would be wrong and wasteful and irrational.You should live your life attempting to identify and control those things which you can genuinely control.”Seek true pleasure F To have a meaningful,happy life we ne
16、ed friends.But according to Aristotle a student of Plato and teacher of Alexander the Greatmost relationships dont qualify as true friendships.“Just because I have a business relationship with an individual and I can profit from that relationship,it does not necessarily mean that this person is my f
17、riend,”Soupios says.“Real friendship is when two individuals share the same soul.It is a beautiful and uncharacteristically poetic image that Aristotle offers.”G In our pursuit of the good life,he says,it is important to seek out true pleasuresadvice which was originally offered by Epicurus.But unli
18、ke the modern definition of Epicureanism as a life of indulgence(放 纵)and luxury,for the ancient Greeks,it meant finding a state of calm,peace and mental ease.3 H I Other golden rules counsel us to master ourselves,to avoid excess and not to be a prosperous(发 迹 的)fool.There are also rules dealing wit
19、h interpersonal relationships:Be a responsible human being and do not do evil things to others.J“This is Hesiod,of course,a younger contemporary poet,we believe,with Homer,”Soupios says.“Hesiod offers an idea which you very often find in some of the worlds great religions,in the Judeo-Christian trad
20、ition and in Islam and others that in some sense,when you hurt another human being,you hurt yourself.That damaging other people in your community and in your life,trashing relationships,results in a kind of self-inflicted(自己招致的)spiritual wound.”K Instead,Soupios says,ancient wisdom urges us to do go
21、od.Golden Rule No.10 for a good life is that kindness toward others tends to be rewarded.L“This is Aesop,the fabulist(寓 言 家),the man of these charming little tales,often told in terms of animals and animal relationships,”he says.“I think what Aesop was suggesting is that when you offer a good turn t
22、o another human being,one can hope that that good deed will come back and sort of pay a profit to you,the doer of the good deed.Even if there is no concrete benefit paid in response to your good deed,at the very least,the doer of the good deed has the opportunity to enjoy a kind of spiritually enlig
23、htened moment.”M Soupios says following the 10 Golden Rules based on ancient wisdom can guide us to the path of the good life where we stop living as onlookers and become engaged and happier human beings.And that,he notes,is a life worth living.注意：此部分试题请在答题卡 2 上作答。36.According to an ancient Greek ph
24、ilosopher,it is impossible for us to understand every aspect of our life.37.Ancient Philosophers saw life in a different light from people of today.38.Not all your business partners are your soul mates.39.We can live a peaceful life despite the various challenges of the modern world.40.The doer of a
25、 good deed can feel spiritually rewarded even when they gain no concrete benefits.41.How to achieve mental calmness and contentment is well worth our consideration today.42.Michael Soupios suggests that we should stop and think carefully about our priorities in life.43.Ancient philosophers strongly
26、advise that we do good.44.45.Do harm to others and you do harm to yourself.Section CSection C Direction:Direction:There are two passages in this section.Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements.For each of them there are four choices marked A),B),C)and D).You should decide
27、 on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the center.Passage OnePassage One Questions 46 to 50 are based on the following passage.Questions 46 to 50 are based on the following passage.4 Attitudes toward new technologies often fall along genera
28、tional lines.That is,generally,younger people tend to outnumber older people on the front end of a technological shift.It is not always the case,though.When you look at attitudes toward driverless cars,there doesnt seem to be a clear generational divide.The public overall is split on whether theyd l
29、ike to use a driverless car.In a study last year,of all people surveyed,48 percent said they wanted to ride in one,while 50 percent did not.The fact that attitudes toward self-driving cars appear to be so steady across generations suggests how transformative the shift to driverless cars could be.Not
30、 everyone wants a driverless car nowand no one can get one yet but among those who are open to them,every age group is similarly engaged.This is especially interesting when you consider that younger people are generally more interested in travel-related technologies than older ones.When it comes to
31、driverless cars,differences in attitude are more pronounced based on factors not related to age.College graduates,for example,are particularly interested in driverless cars compared with those who have less education:59 percent of college graduates said they would like to use a driverless car compar
32、ed with 38 percent of those with a high-school diploma or less.Where a person lives matters,too.More people who lives in cities and suburbs said they wanted to try driverless cars than those who lived in rural areas.While theres reason to believe that interest in self-driving cars is going up across
33、 the board,a persons age will have little to do with how self-driving cars can become mainstream.Once driverless cares are actually available for sale,the early adopters will be the people who can afford to buy them.46.What happens when a new technology emerges?A)It further widens the gap between th
34、e old and the young.B)It often leads to innovations in other related fields.C)It contributes greatly to the advance of society as a whole.D)It usually draws different reactions from different age groups.47.What does the author say about the driverless car?A)It does not seem to create a generational
35、divide.B)It will not necessarily reduce road accidents.C)It may start a revolution in the car industry.D)It has given rise to unrealistic expectations.48.Why does the driverless car appeal to some old people?A)It saves their energy.B)It helps with their mobility.C)It adds to the safety of their trav
36、el.D)It stirs up their interest in life.49.What is likely to affect ones attitude toward the driverless car?A)The location of their residence.B)The field of their special interest C)The amount of training they received.D)The length of their driving experience.50.Who are likely to be the first to buy
37、 the driverless car?A)The senior.B)The educated.5 C)The wealthy.D)The tech fans.Passage Two Question 51 to 55 are based on the following passage.In agrarian(农业的),pre-industrial Europe,“youd want to wake up early,start working with the sunrise,have a break to have the largest meal,and then youd go ba
38、ck to work,”says Ken Albala,a professor of history at the University of the Pacific,“Later,at 5 or 6,youd have a smaller supper.”This comfortable cycle,in which the rhythms of the day helped shape the rhythms of the meals,gave rise to the custom of the large midday meal,eaten with the extended famil
39、y.“Meals are the foundation of the family,”says Carole Counihan,a professor at Millersville University in Pensylvania,“so there was a very important interconnection between eating together”and strengthening family ties.Since industrialization,maintaining such a slow cultural metabolism has been much
40、 harder,with the long midday meal shrinking to whatever could be stuffed into a lunch bucket or bought at a food stand.Certainly,there were benefits.Modern techniques for producing and shipping food led to greater variety and quantity,including a tremendous increase in the amount of animal protein a
41、nd dairy products available,making us more vigorous than our ancestors.51.What do we learn from the passage about people in pre-industrial Europe?A)They had to work from early morning till late at night.B)They were so busy working that they only ate simple meals.C)Their daily routine followed the rh
42、ythm of the natural cycle.D)Their life was much more comfortable than that of today.52.What does Professor Carole Counihan say about pre-industrial European families eating meals together?A)It was helpful to maintaining a nations tradition.B)It brought family members closer to each other.C)It was ch
43、aracteristic of the agrarian culture.D)It enabled families to save a lot of money.53.What does“cultural metabolism”(Line 1,Para.3)refer to?A)Evolutionary adaptation.B)Changes in lifestyle.C)Social progress.D)Pace of life.54.What does the author think of the food people eat today?A)Its quality is usu
44、ally guaranteed.B)It is varied,abundant and nutritious.C)It is more costly than what our ancestors ate.D)Its production depends too much on technology.55.What does the author say about Italians of the old days?6 A)They enjoyed cooking as well as eating.B)They ate a big dinner late in the evening.C)T
45、hey ate three meals regularly every day.D)They were expert at cooking meals.Part Translation(30 minutes)Directions:For this part,you are allowed 30 minutes to translate a passage from Chinese into English.You should write your answer on Answer Sheet 2.乌镇是浙江的一座古老水镇，坐落在京杭大运河畔。这是一处迷人的地方，有许多古桥、中 式旅店和餐馆。在过去一千年里，乌镇的水系和生活方式并未经历多少变化，是一座展现古文明的博物馆。乌镇所有房屋都用石木建造。数百年来，当地人沿着河边建起了住宅和集市。无数宽敞美丽的庭院藏身于屋舍之间，游客们每到一处都有会惊喜的发现。注意：此部分试题请在答题卡 2 上作答。
