这四篇我做错了第33题，当时就想着A对，所以其他选项没有认真对待。惨痛啊！教训。
灰词：news anchor新闻主播。
问：阅读第四篇最后一段的happiness is more than pleasure without pain.怎么翻译最好？
31。The extinction of large prehistoric animals is noted to suggest that ________.
[A] large animal were vulnerable to the changing environment陈述单个事件的事实
[bsmall species survived as large animals disappeared陈述单个事件的事实
[C] large sea animals may face the same threat today得出自己的观点
[D] slow-growing fish outlive fast-growing ones陈述单个事件的事实
[b我认为31题问的是引用例子的用意，所以从得到的是观点还是事实这个角度去选也不失为是一种方法。
33. By saying these figures are conservative (Line 1, paragraph 3), Dr. Worm means that ________.
[A] Fishing technology has improved rapidly 之后下文的细节。
但是我选了A[b then catch-sizes are actually smaller then recorded 与句意相反,不考虑。
[C] the marine biomass has suffered a greater loss
[D] the data collected so far are out of date 错在过时了，文中没有提到过时。此项是无中生有了。
原因是由于技术已经发展，因此有更多的海洋生物正在被捕捞，实际损失要比记录的更糟糕。

[B] art grow out of both positive and negative feeling 没有涉及，而且不是文章的主题方向
[C] poets today are less skeptical of happiness与事实相反
[D] artists have changed their focus of interest
选D，可以确定的文中句子为：began seeing
37. The word “bummer” (Line 5. paragraph 5) most probably means something ________.
[A] religious
[B] unpleasant前文一直在讲：misery,peril感情色彩要一致
[C] entertaining与前文意思不符合
[D] commercial还没提到，所以算不涉及
38. In the author’s opinion, advertising ________.
[A] emerges in the wake of the anti-happy part因果关系搞错了，和反快乐没关系，是大众媒体
[B] is a cause of disappointment for the general public没有提到
[C] replace the church as a major source of information没有提到
[D] creates an illusion of happiness rather than happiness itself
文中有关键句：to make the very idea of happiness seem unreliable.
39. We can learn from the last paragraph that the author believes ________.
[A] happiness more often than not ends in sadness没有这么说
[B] the anti-happy art is distasteful but refreshing文中有关键句，最后一句。
[C] misery should be enjoyed rather than denied 错在enjoyed，原文living with it
[D] the anti-happy art flourishes when economy booms得不出这种推断
40. Which of the following is true of the text?
[A] Religion once functioned as a reminder of misery.文中第五段有陈述。
[B] Art provides a balance between expectation and reality.
[C] People feel disappointed at the realities of morality

说说第一篇阅读理解
这篇阅读给我的感觉是,词汇挺难,似乎单词都认识,但是意思好像没太见过,比如说:casualness,demoncratize,department store等
句子比较简单,没有特别复杂的;
文章难理解的在态度不是很明确,比如,not be altogether elevating but is hardly poisonous; neither at unprecedeted level nor redidtant to assimilation;
题目,呵呵,最戏剧性的就是题目了,我做的时候好像边睡觉变做出来的,但是竟然全对,而后几片,在十分清醒的情况下作出来的,却不理想.
其中,第二题,现在回想,主要是排除法,如果直接对正确答案思考,则很难决定它是选项.
