第1I卷（共45分）注意事项： 1．用钢笔或圆珠笔直接答在试卷上。 2．答卷前将密封线内的项目填写清楚。 第四部分书面表达（共两节，满分45分） 第一节阅读表达（共5小题；每小题3分，满分15分）     阅读下面的短文，并根据文章后的要求答题。（请注意问题后的词数要求） LONDON—Middle age is miserable for many, according to a study using data from 80 countries showing that depression （a feeling of sadness and hopelessness） is most common among men and women in their 40s．       The British and U．S．researchers found that happiness for people in 72 countries ranging from Albania to Zimbabwe follows a U-shaped curve（曲线）：Life begins cheerful before turning tough during middle age and then returning to the joys of youth in the golden years．       “For the average persons in the modem world，the dip in mental health and happiness comes on slowly, not suddenly in a single year,’’ Andrew Oswald at Britain’s Warwick University, who co-led the study, said．“Only in their 50s do people emerge from this low period．”       About eight nations---mostly in the developing world—did not follow the U-shaped pattern for happiness levels，Oswald and his colleague David Blanchflower of Dartmouth College in the United States wrote． “It happens to men and women，to single and married people，to rich and poor, and to those with and without children,” Oswald said．“Nobody knows why we see this consistency．’’ One possibility may be that people realize they won’t achieve many of their ambitions at middle age，the researchers said．       Another reason could be that after seeing their fellow middle-aged peers begin to die，people begin to_________ and embrace（拥抱）life once more，researchers speculated．       The study’s findings generally reflect previous research that shows people gain a sense of satisfaction as they age，said Laura L．Carstensen，director of the Center on Longevity at Stanford University．       “Shrinking time horizons tend to change people’s goats．”she said．“We predict that people will experience more emotional satisfaction as they age．” 76．What is the best title of the passage? ﹝Please answer within 10 words．﹞ ___________________________________________________________________________ 77．Which sentence in the passage can be replaced by the following one?       At the beginning people are happy, then people are in low spirits in their middle age but happy again as they age． ___________________________________________________________________________ 78．Please fill in the blank in the seventh paragraph with proper words or phrases to complete the sentence．（Please answer within 10 words．） ___________________________________________________________________________ 79．What are the possible ways to fight against depression?（Please answer within 30 words,） ___________________________________________________________________________ 80．Translate the last paragraph into Chinese． ___________________________________________________________________________ 第二节 写作 （满分30分） 有统计资料显示，今年春节期间，全国发送短信170亿条，有关短信拜年用“原创”还是“克隆”的争论很多，一种观点怀疑“克隆短信”拜年的真诚度，另一种观点则与之相反，认为不管短信是否是原创，祝福也一样真诚。请结合这一现象，用英语写一篇120—150字的短文，发表你的看法。 注：短信text message
