22．（8分）Sometimes you’ll hear people say that you can’t love others until you love yourself. Sometimes you’ll hear people say that you can’t expect someone else to love you until you love yourself. Either way, you’ve got to love yourself first and this can be tricky. Sure we all know that we’re the apple of our parents’ eyes, and that our Grandmas think we’re geniuses and our Uncle Roberts think that we will go to the Olympics, but sometimes it’s a lot harder to think such nice thoughts about ourselves. If you find that believing in yourself is a challenge, it is time you built a positive self-image and learnt to love yourself.
Self-image is your own mind’s picture of yourself. This image includes the way you look, the way you act, the way you talk and the way you think. Interestingly, our
self-images are often quite different from the images others hold about us. Unfortunately, most of these images are more negative than they should be. Thus changing the way you think about yourself is the key to changing your self-image and your whole world.
The best way to defeat a passive self-image is to step back and decide to stress your successes. That is, make a list if you need to, but write down all of the great things you
do every day. Don’t allow doubts to occur in it.
It very well might be that you are experiencing a negative self-image because you can’t move past one flaw or weakness that you see about yourself. Well, roll up your sleeves and make a change of it as your primary task. If you think you’re silly because you aren't good at math, find a tutor. If you think you’re weak because you can’t run a mile, get to the track and practice. If you think you’re dull because you don’t wear the latest trends, buy a few new clothes. But remember, just because you think it doesn’t mean it’s true.
The best way to get rid of a negative self-image is to realize that your image is far from objective, and to actively convince yourself of your positive qualities. Changing the way you think and working on those you need to improve will go a long way towards promoting a positive self-image. When you can pat yourself on the back, you’ll know you’re well on your way. Good luck！
1、You need to build a positive self-image when you ________.
A．dare to challenge yourself B．are unconfident about yourself
C．feel it hard to change yourself D．have a high opinion of yourself
2、According to the passage, our self-images ________.
A．have positive effects B．have different functions
C．are often changeable D．are probably untrue
3、How should you change your self-image according to the passage?
A．To change the way you think. B．To make your life successful.
C．To understand your own world. D．To keep a different image of others.
4、What is the passage mainly about?
A．How to prepare for your success.
B．How to build a positive self-image.
C．How to face challenges in your life.
D．How to develop your good qualities.

24．（8分）Robert F. Kennedy once said that a country’s GDP measures “everything except that which makes life worthwhile”. With Britain voting to leave the European Union, and GDP already predicted to slow as a result, it is now a timely moment to
assess what he was referring to.
The question of GDP and its usefulness has annoyed policymakers for over half a century. Many argue that it is a flawed concept It measures things that do not matter and misses things that do. By most recent measures, the UK’s GDP has been the envy of the Western world, with record low unemployment and high growth figures. If everything, was going so well, then why did over 17 million people vote for Brexit, despite the warnings about what it could do to their country’s economic prospe cts?
A recent annual study of countries and their ability to convert growth into
well-being sheds some light on that question. Across the 163 countries measured, the UK is one of the poorest performers in ensuring that economic growth is translated into meaningful improvements for its citizens. Rather than just focusing on GDP, over 40 different sets of criteria from health, education and civil society engagement have been measured to get a more rounded assessment of how countries are performing.
While all of these countries face their own challenges, there are a number of consistent themes. Yes, there has been a budding economic recovery since the 2008 global crash, but in key indicators in areas such as health and education, major economies have continued to decline. Yet this isn’t the case with all countries. Some relatively poor European countries have seen huge improvements across measures including civil society, income equality and the environment.
This is a lesson that rich countries can learn; When GDP is no longer regarded as the sole measure of a country’s success, the world looks very different.
So, what Kennedy was referring to was that while GDP has been the most common method for measuring the economic activity of nations, as a measure, it is no longer enough, It does not include important factors such as environmental quality or education outcomes —all things that contribute to a person’s sense of well-being.
The sharp hit to growth predicted around the world and in the UK could lead to a decline in the everyday services we depend on for our well-being and for growth. But policymakers who refocus efforts on improving well-being rather than simply worrying about GDP figures could avoid the forecasted doom and may even see progress.
1、Robert F, Kennedy is cited because he .
A．praised the UK for its GDP B．identified GDP with happiness
C．saw the problem with GDP D．misinterpreted the role of GDP
2、Which of the following is true about the recent annual study?
A．It is sponsored by 163 countries. B．It excludes GDP as an indicator.
C．Its criteria are questionable. D．Its results are inspiring.
3、In the last two paragraphs, the author suggests that .
A．the UK is preparing for an economic boom
B．high GDP predicts an economic decline
C．it is essential to consider factors beyond GDP
D．it requires caution to handle economic issues
4、Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A．High GDP But Inadequate Well-being, a UK Lesson
B．GDP Figures, a Window on Global Economic Health
C．Robert F. Kennedy, a Terminator of GDP
D．Brexit, the UK’s Gateway to Well-being
25．（10分）On a college camping trip, curiosity about waves and sand caused Rob Thieler to study shorelines around the world. Thirty years later and now a U. S. Geological Survey research geologist, Thieler, is combining science and smartphone technology to help study a bird, which is dying out, the Atlantic Coast piping plover.
The piping plover is a shorebird that lives along the Atlantic Coast, the Great Lakes and the Great Plains. Rising sea level associated with climate change, as well as increased development of their beach habitats（栖息地）, threatens the species. To help track changes in piping plover habitats, Thieler developed a free app called iPlover in 2012. This is a marked change from the typical way scientists collect data.
Since releasing iPlover, scientists have gathered data across 1,500 km of breeding range. That equals about a third of the distance across the U. S., which is a large area to cover for only two thousand breeding pairs of piping plovers on the east coast. Instead of having to travel and spend days at each site, a number of cooperators in the field use the app to collect and send data, allowing scientists to gather data more efficiently. It also allows them to collect data at the same time during each breeding season, providing a better picture of changes that happen over longer periods of time. And fast, centralized access means scientists can look at data quickly to get a real-time idea of where and how piping plovers are using their habitats.
While iPlover is used by trained field staff, other apps like the U. S. Geological
Survey’s web-based “iCoast —Did the Coast Change?” invite citizen scientists to identify coastal changes by comparing aerial（从飞机上的）photographs taken before and after storms. All the information scientists and citizen scientists alike collect helps federal and state agencies create policy plans for addressing climate change impacts（影响）worldwide.
1、What can we know about the piping plover?
A．Its behaviour is changing.
B．Its habitat is growing bigger.
C．Its living environment is becoming worse.
D．Its breeding range is limited to the Atlantic Coast.
2、Why did Thieler develop iPlover？
A．To study shorelines across America.
B．To advance information technology.
C．To study global climate change.
D．To monitor changes of piping plover habitats.
3、Which of the following benefits the shorebird?
A．The camping equipment. B．Research on smartphones.
C．The changeable coast. D．Progress in technology.
4、What would be the best title of the text?
A．Protecting Endangered Shorebirds B．Rob Thieler, a Creative Scientist C．iPlover, a Tool for Training Field Staff D．Differences Between iPlover and iCoast

29、Dear John,
Glad to hear from you! I am sorry to hear that you have been ill for days and hope you have got better now. I’m writing to persuade you to take more exercise after class.
You have studied so hard that you have had no time for exercise. But it is really harmful to your health. First of all, exercise can improve your physical condition and refresh your mind. Secondly, after one or two hours of exercise you can study better than now. I think only have a strong body, you can keep on studying without feeling bad or ill. Otherwise, your study will be interrupted from time to time by sickness.
I do hope you can take my suggestion into consideration and make a final decision. Looking forward to your quick reply.
Yours,
Li Hua。
