9．Elephants in Uganda are starting to come close to villages near national parks．The big animals are a real danger to people．So new tools called vuvuzelas have been given to people to keep the elephants away．They are plastic instruments some fans use at sports events．The instruments make a loud sound elephants do not like．The animals leave，and no one is harmed．Vuvuzelas work because they do not threaten （威胁） the elephants．That is important because an elephant that feels threatened is more likely to attack．So far，no one has reported an elephant attacking in answer to a vuvuzela．Officials and villagers have tried other ways to stop elephants from coming near farms and houses．They have built beehives （蜂巢）-houses for flying insects that sting （叮，蜇）．They have hung ropes covered in spicy oil．They have dug long，deep holes．And they have used guns，called A-K47s．An official from the Uganda Wildlife Authority explains that people shoot the gun in the air to scare the elephant．But over time，the elephants have stopped being afraid of the sound of the gun．They only look at the shooter and wave their ears．Probably one day，elephants will accept the vuvuzela noise，just as they do the sound of the A-K47．But right now，vuvuzelas are an effective （有效的），harmless and fun way to deal with a serious problem．38．Villagers are trying to keep away the elephants because they fear thatD．A．they don't have food to feed them&& B．they may threaten the elephantsC．the elephants may destroy the park&& D．the huge animals may attack them39．The writer thinks itAto use the vuvuzelas to keep away the giant animals．&A．safe&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& B．harmful&&&&&&&&&&&& C．helpless&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& D．difficult40．The meaning of the underlined word"accept"in the last paragraph is close to"B"．A．be afraid of&&&&&&&&&&&&& B．be used to&&&&&&&&& C．be pleased with&&&&&&&& D．be worried about41．Which of the following statements is true about vuvuzelas？CA．Vuvuzelas were invented to keep elephants away from villagers．B．So far，vuvuzelas have been the only way to keep the elephants away．C．At present，vuvuzelas work better to keep away elephants than A-K47s．D．People in Uganda are thinking of making louder and better vuvuzelas．
分析 本文描述了在乌干达一些村民受到大象的威胁，于是他们采用了一种新的工具-呜呜祖拉来驱赶大象，效果比用枪还要好．解答 38．D细节理解题．根据文章第一段原文Elephants in Uganda are starting to come close to villages near national parks．The big animals are a real danger to people．可以得知，大象对于人们来说是危险的，所以村民赶走大象是因为他们害怕受到攻击．故选D．39．A细节理解题．根据文章第二段原文That is important because an elephant that feels threatened is more likely to attack．So far，no one has reported an elephant attacking in answer to a vuvuzela．可以得知，使用呜呜祖拉驱赶大型动物后并没有受到动物的反击，所以作者认为这是安全的．故选A．40．B细节理解题．根据文章第三段原文But over time，the elephants have stopped being afraid of the sound of the gun．They only look at the shooter and wave their ears．可以得知大象因为经常接触枪声，已经习惯了．所以选B．41．C细节理解题．根据文章最后一句话的描述But right now，vuvuzelas are an effective （有效的），harmless and fun way to deal with a serious problem．可以得知现在在乌干达，呜呜祖拉用来驱赶大象比AK47要好的多，A、B和D选项文中并没有提到．故选C．点评 阅读理解题，需要先读题，理解清楚题目意思，接着带着问题去文章中寻找、推断答案．把握好细节，注意推敲才能保证正确率．

17．Helen Keller was an American educator and journalist，who became one of the leading humanitarians in the history of the United States．Born on June 27，1880 in Tuscumbia，a small town in Alabama，Keller was stricken with a childhood disease that left her deaf，and blind．The illness Keller suffered （遭受） is a mystery to this day．Unable to see，or hear，Keller became difficult to deal with as her behaviour was described as wild by her family and friends．Soon Keller and her family developed their own type of sign language that allowed them to communicate with each other．Helen's mother needed help for her anguished （痛苦的） child，which eventually led to Anne Sullivan，who was a recent graduate （毕业生） of the Perkins Institute for the Blind．The school had been successful in the past in educating blind students，and Sullivan was one of its star graduates．Once Sullivan and Keller got through the difficult beginnings，their friendship，and association （合作） lasted for 49 years．Keller was determined to become educated，and to teach herself to communicate．After attending several schools，she became the first deaf and blind person to earn a college degree．She became very well-known，and began a lecture tour where she made speeches on social and political issues，including women's suffrage （选举权），and birth control．Also she required the government to raise awareness to the situation of the blind．She devoted much of her later life to raising funds for the American Foundation for the Blind．On September 14，1964，President Lyndon B．Johnson awarded her the Presidential Medal of Freedom，one of the United States'two highest civilian honours．In 1999，Keller was listed in Gallup's Most Widely Admired People of the 20th century．Helen Keller-Overcoming DisabilityChildhood?&&&&&&& Keller was made deaf and blind by an&（56）unknown&illness．?&&&&&&& Her family and friends（57）describedher as wild because of her disabilities．（58）Education&&?&&&&&&& The Keller family&（59）developed&their own type of sign language to make their communication possible．?&&&&&&& Anne Sullivan （60）enteredKeller's life and gave her a lot of help．?&&&&&&& Keller made up her&（61）mind&to teach herself to communicate．?&&&&&&& Keller earned a college degree after（62）attendingseveral schools．Social Activities?&&&&&&& While travelling around the country，Keller made a series of&（63）speeches&&& on social and political issues．?&&&&&&& Keller&（64）devoted&much of her later life in raising funds for the American Foundation for the Blind．Awards?&&&&&&& In 1964，Keller was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom．?&&&&&&& In 1999，her name was on the （65）listin Gallup's Most Widely Admired People of the 20th century．

14．Most people want to be happy，but few know how to find happiness．Money and success alone do not bring lasting happiness．Happiness depends on ourselves．In other words，we make our own happiness．Here are a few suggestions to help you be happier．The first secret of happiness is to enjoy the simple things in life．Too often，we spend so much time thinking about the future--for example，getting into college or getting a good job that we fail to enjoy the present（现在）．You should enjoy life's simple pleasures，such as reading a good book，listening to your favorite music，or spending time with close friends．People who have several close friends often live happier and healthier lives．Another secret of living a happy life is to be active，and hobbies make you forget your problems and time．Many people experience this by dancing，swimming or playing a sport．You can forget about your problems，and only think about the activity．Finally，many people find happiness in helping others．Studies show that people feel good when they spend their time helping others．If you want to feel happier，do good things for someone．You can help a friend with his or her studies，go shopping to buy food for an elderly person，or simply help out around the house by washing the dishes．66．The passage gives us three pieces of advice onB．A．how to solve problem&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& B．how to find happinessC．how to enjoy life&&&&&&&& &&&&&&&&&&&&D．how to succeed67．The third paragraph tells us thatC．A．the more friends you have，the happier you will be &&&B．we shouldn't think about our futureC．happiness is to enjoy the simple things in life &&&&&&&D．some people fail to help others68．The writer thinks thatD．A．it's wrong to spend time on work&&& B．everyone knows how to live a happier life&&& &&C．hobbies take up too much time&&&& D．doing good things for someone can make you happier69．Which of the following is not mentioned in the passage？BA．Reading a good book．B．Traveling to a foreign country．C．Playing a sport．D．Spending time with close friends．70．The best title （标题） of this passage isA．A．The Secrets of Happiness&& &&&&&&&&&&&&&&B．Money Makes You Happy&&C．Helping Others Makes You Happy&&& &&&&&&D．Good Friends Make You Happy．

Susan Elinor Wright
Introduction: This is an intelligent book which makes a major contribution to the growing literature on philosophical counselling (I use the UK spelling). Traditionally, philosophical counsellors have been anxious to differentiate themselves from psychological counsellors, especially those who are psychodynamically oriented. Often, they have also been anxious to differentiate their own model of philosophical counselling from that of other practitioners. This book attempts a number of things: to survey current conceptions of philosophical counsel to find its minimal criteria, and to distinguish it, if possible, from psychotherapy. It goes on to find positive criteria (i.e. in terms of what it is, not what it is not) that will be both viable and flexible for a new model of philosophical counselling.Founding Editors
