Viktor Frankl， a famous Jewish psychiatrist(精神病医生）, wrote his bestselling 1946 book Mans Search for Mean
18、ing in nine days about his experiences in Nazi concentration camps. Frankl concluded that the difference between those prisoners who had lived and those who had died came down to one thing ： Meaning, an insight he came to early in life. In 1991, the Library of Congress listed Man5s Search for Meanin
19、g as one of the 10 most influential books in the United States. It has sold millions of copies worldwide. Now, over twenty years later, the book s ideasits emphasis on meaning, the value of suffering, and responsibility to something greater than the selfseem to be at odds with our culture, which is
20、more interested in the pursuit of individual happiness than in the search for meaning. But happiness cannot be pursued. It follows. One must have a reason to be happy ,” Frankl wrote. According to Gallup, the happiness levels of Americans are at a four-year high. Gallup also reports that nearly 60%
21、of all Americans today feel happy, without a lot of stress or worry. On the other hand, according to the Center for Disease Control, about 4 out of 10 Americans have not discovered a satisfying life purpose. 40% either do not think their lives have a clear sense of purpose or are neutral about wheth
22、er their lives have purpose. Nearly a quarter of Americans do not have a strong sense of what makes their lives meaningful. Research has shown that having purpose and meaning in life increases overall well-being and life satisfaction, improves mental and physical health, and decreases the chances of
23、 depression. On top of that, the single-minded pursuit of happiness is leaving people less happy, according to recent research.20. According to Paragraph 1, we know that Viktor Frankl_ . A. wrote his early life experience as a soldier B. lost his hope of seeking the meaning of life C. spent nine day

26、aning of life is important to happiness. Questions 24 to 27 are based on the following passage. If youve ever lost your wallet (钱包), then you know that its a very terrible experience. Most people keep a lot in their wallets. Thats where they keep their drivers license, their credit cards, and all ki
27、nds of other important things. Of course，thats also where most of us keep our cash. We all need cash in our lives. However, something called digital currency is slowly replacing cash. A currency is a kind of money. Usually, we use currency when we talk about a countrys money. For example, the UK is
28、the pound, and the USA is the dollar. If something is digital, it only exists on a computer. So “digital currency” means money that only exists on computers.Lots of people have digital currency accounts. They use a credit card to change their real money into digital money, and then the money goes in
29、to the digital currency account. A lot of people wonder, “Why in the world should I change my real money into digital money? ” This is a fair question, but theres a good answer. If you want to buy something online, then you usually have to use digital currency. For example， if youre in China and you
30、 want to buy something in Canada, then youll have to pay with digital currency. Many people still dont trust digital currency. Some people think that if they cant hold their money in their hand, then it doesnt seem real. These people dont feel comfortable when they see numbers on a computer screen.
31、The computer tells them that their money is safe, but these people dont feel safe. Another problem is security. There are hackers all over the world. A hacker is a person who steals computer information. If a hacker gets the password of your digital currency account, he or she can steal your money.
32、You have to decide whether or not you trust this new invention. Just remember one thing： If you want to buy something online, then you probably wont have a choice.

Real money and digital money are the same. 27. What does the passage mainly talk about? A. Hacker problems in the world. B. Currencies us
35、ed in particular countries. C. A new kind of money. D. Safety of digital currency.Questions 28 to 31 are based on the following passage. Zoos are hugely popular attractions for adults and children alike. But are they actually a good thing? Critics of zoos would argue that animals often suffer physic
36、ally and mentally by being enclosed (封闭). Even the best artificial environments can come close to matching the space and freedom that animals have in their natural environments. This enclosure causes many zoo animals to become stressed or mentally ill. Capturing animals in the wild also causes much
37、suffering by splitting up families. Some zoos make animals behave unnaturally. For example, in some parks dolphins (海豚)are forced to perform tricks, who may die decades earlier than their wild relatives. And some even try to kill themselves. On the other hand, by bringing people and animals together
38、, zoos have the potential to educate the public about conservation issues and inspire people to protect animals and their natural environments. Some zoos provide a safe environment for animals which have been mistreated by people, or pets which have been abandoned. Zoos also carry out important rese
39、arch into subjects like animal behavior and how to treat illnesses. One of the most important modern functions of zoos is supporting international breeding(繁殖) programmes, particularly for endangered species(种群). In the wild， some of the rarest species have difficulty in finding mates and breeding.
40、A good zoo will enable these species to live and breed in secure environments.So, are zoos good for animals or not? Perhaps it all depends on how well individual zoos are managed, and the benefits of zoos can surely outweigh their harmful effects. However, it is understandable that many people belie

43、pecies 31. What is the authors attitude towards zoos? A. Negative B. Positive C. Critical D. Understandable Questions 32 to 35 are based on the following passage. How many times, when finding yourself in a difficult situation, have you heard something like, “You just need to go somewhere, change your environment, and meet new people.” Upon hearing this, we think such advice can be annoying： going through hard times, you rather expect help, sympathy, or at least something more practical, rather than “You know， you should trave
