As an engineering student, I had a degree and three good job offers. I can’t help trembling when I hear about studies that show that women are at a 36 when it comes to math. However, I discovered: just because a subject is 37 to learn, it does not 38 you are not good at it..

On one test I got only 36 percent of the 40 answers. I failed the next one, too. I started to 41 . Maybe I’m just not good at this, I was lucky enough to have a teacher who didn’t take my bad grades as a judgment of my 42 , but 43 . as an indication that I should study more.

The atmosphere again acts as our protective blanket on earth. Light gets through, and this is essential for plants to make the food which we eat. Heat, too, makes our environment endurable. Various kinds of rays come through the air from outer space, but enormous quantities of radiation from the sun are screened off. As soon as men leave the atmosphere they are exposed to this radiation but their spacesuits or the walls of their spacecraft, if they are inside, do prevent a lot of radiation damage.Radiation is the greatest known danger to explorers in space. The unit of radiation is called “rem”. Scientists have reason to think that a man can put up with far more radiation than 0.1 rem without being damaged; the figure of 60 rems has been agreed on. The trouble is that it is extremely difficult to be sure about radiation damage --- a person may feel perfectly well, but the cells of his or her physical organs may be damaged, and this will not be discovered until the birth of deformed children or even grandchildren.Missions of the Apollo flight have had to cross belts of high amount of rems. So far, no dangerous amounts of radiation have been reported, but the Apollo missions have quite short. We simply do not know yet how men are going to get on when they spend weeks and months outside the protection of the atmosphere, working in a space laboratory. Drugs might help to decrease the damage done by radiation, but no really effective ones have been found so far.59.According to the first paragraph, the atmosphere is essential to man in that ________A. it protects him against the harmful rays from space.B. it provides enough light for plant growth.C. it supplies the heat necessary for human survival.D. it screens off the falling meteors.60.We know from the passage that _______A. exposure to even tiny amounts of radiation will cause death.B. the effect of exposure to radiation is slow in coming.C. radiation is avoidable in space exploration.D. astronauts in spacesuits needn’t worry about radiation damage.61.It can be inferred from the passage that _______A. the Apollo mission was very successful.B. protection from space radiation is no easy job.C. astronauts will have disabled children or grandchildrenD. radiation is not a threat to well-protected space explorers.62.The underlined word “deformed” in the second paragraph probably means _______A. unexpectedly bornB. slowly developedC. stupidD. unnaturally shapedTaste is such subjective matter that we do not usually conduct preference tests for food. The most you can say about anyone’s preference is that it’s one person’s opinion. But because the two big cola companies ---- Coca-Cola and Pepsi Cola are marketed so aggressively, we’ve wondered how big a role taste preference actually plays in brand loyalty. We set up a taste test that challenged people who identified themselves as either Coca-Cola and Pepsi fans: Find your brand in a blind tasting.We invited staff volunteers who had a strong liking for either Coca-Cola and Pepsi, Diet Coke, or Diet Pepsi. These were people who thought they’d have no trouble telling their brand from the other brand.We eventually located 19 regular cola drinkers and 27 diet cola drinkers. Then we fed them four unidentified samples of cola one at a time, regular colas for the one group, diet versions for the other. We asked them to tell us whether each sample was Coke or Pepsi; then we analyzed the records statistically to compare the participants’ choices with what mere guess-work could have accomplished.Getting all four samples right was a tough test, but not too tough, we thought, for people who believed they could recognize their brand. In the end, only 7 out of 19 regular cola drinkers correctly identified their brand of choice in all four trials. The diet-cola drinkers did a little worse-only 7 to 27 identified all four samples correctly.While both groups did better than chance would predict, nearly half the participants in each group made the wrong choice two or more times. Two people got all four samples wrong. Overall, half the participants did about as well on the last round tasting as on the first, so tiredness or taste burnout was not a factor. Our preference test result suggests that only a few Pepsi participants and Coke fans may really be able to tell their favorite brand by taste and price.63. According to the passage the preference test was conducted in order to______.A. find out the role taste preferenc e plays in a person’s drinkingB. show which cola is the more liking of the drinkersC. show that a person’s opinion about taste is mere guess-workD. compare the ability of the participants in choosing their drinks64.It is implied in the first paragraph that ________.A. the purpose of taste tests is to promote the sale of colasB. the improvement of quality is the chief concern of the two cola companiesC. the competition between the two colas is very strongD. blind tasting is necessary for identifying fans65. The word “burnout” (Line 3, Para.5) here refers to the state of _______A. being seriously burnt in the skinB. being unable to burn for lack of fuelC. being badly damaged by fireD. being unable to function because of excessive(过度) use66. The author’s purpose in writing this passage is to _______A. show that taste preference is highly subjectiveB. argue that taste testing is an important marketing strategyC. emphasize that taste and price are closely related to each otherD. recommend that blind tasting be introduced in the quality control of colas.Minnie’s flat, as the one–floor resident apartments were then being called, was in a part of West Van Buren Street inhabited by families of laborers and clerks, men who had come, and were still coming, with the rush of population pouring in at the rate of 50,000 a year. It was on the third floor, the front windows looking down into the street, where, at night, the lights of grocery stores were shining and children were playing. To Carrie, the sound of the little bells upon the horse–cars, as they tinkled in and out of hearing, was as pleasing as it was novel. She gazed into the lighted street when Minnie brought her into the front room, and wondered at the sounds, the movement, the murmur of the vast city which stretched for miles and miles in every direction.Mrs. Hanson, after the first greetings were over, gave Carrie the baby and proceeded to get supper. Her husband asked a few questions and sat down to read the evening paper. He was a silent man, American born, of a Swede father, and now employed as a cleaner of refrigerator cars at stock–yards. To him the presence or absence of his wife’s sister was a matter of indifference. Her personal appearance did not affect him one way or the other. His one observation to the point was concerning the chances of work in Chicago.“It’s a big place,” he said. “You can get in somewhere in a few days. Everybody does.”It had been understood beforehand that she was to get work and pay her board. He was of a clean, saving character, and had already paid a number of monthly installments () on two pieces of land far out on the West Side. His ambition was some day to build a house on them.In the interval which marked the preparation of the meal Carrie found time to study the flat. She had some slight gift of observation and that sense, so rich in every woman–intuition.She felt the drag of a lean and narrow life. The walls of the rooms were improperly papered. The floors were covered with matting and the hall laid with a thin rag carpet. One could see that the furniture was of that poor, hurriedly patched together quality sold by the installment houses.She sat with Minnie, in the kitchen, holding the baby until it began to cry. Then she walked and sang to it, until Hanson, disturbed in his reading, came and took it. A pleasant side to his nature came out here. He was patient. One could see that he paid enough attention to his baby.“Now, now,” he said, walking. “There, there,” and there was a ce rtain Swedish accent noticeable in his voice.“You’ll want to see the city first, won’t you?” said Minnie, when they were eating. “Well, we’ll go out Sunday and see Lincoln Park.”Carrie noticed that Hanson had said nothing to this. He seemed to be thinking of something else.“Well,” she said, “I think I’ll look around tomorrow. I’ve got Friday and Saturday, and it won’t be any trouble. Which way is the business part?”Minnie began to explain, but her husband took this part of the conversation to himself.“It’s that way,” he said, pointing east. “That’s east.” Then he went off into the longest speech he had yet taken part in, concerning the lay of Chicago. “You’d better look in those big manufacturing houses along Franklin Street and just the other side of the river,” he concluded. “Lots of girls work there. You could get home easy, too. It isn’t very far.”Carrie nodded and asked her sister about the neighborhood. The latter talked in a soft tone, telling the little she knew about it, while Hanson concerned himself with the baby. Finally he jumped up and handed the child to his wife.67. The first paragraph mainly describes _____.A. the surroundings around the Hansons’ flatB. the scenes in West Van Buren StreetC. what Mr. and Mrs. Hanson’s flat looked likeD. the nightlife of West Van Buren Street68. From the passage we can learn that Mr. Hanson_____.A. was glad at Carrie’s arrivalB. cared little about his childC. was unfamiliar with ChicagoD. tried hard to live a better life69. We can draw a conclusion from the passage that _____A. Minnie’s house was very well furnishedB. Carrie was a sensitive girl with ambitionC. Carrie came to look after her nephewD. Minnie and her husband got on very well70. Which of the following shows the right order of the events in the story?a. Carrie observed the Hanson’s flatb. Mr. Hanson handed his baby to Minniec. Minnie told Carrie about their neighborhoodd. Carrie sang to the baby to stop it from cryinge. Mr. Hanson explained the business part to Minnief. Minnie gave Carrie the baby and proceeded to get supperA. c–a–f–e–d–bB. a–c–f–e–b–dC. f–a–d–e–c–bD. f–e–a–b–c–d第II卷第一节任务型阅读请认真阅读下列短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词注意：每个空格只填1个单词According to the National Institute of Mental Health, about 40 million Americans aged 18 and older are diagnosed(诊断)with an anxiety disorder every year. To dig deeper into who may be at greatest risk, investigators from the University of Illinois surveyed 19 healthy men and women and asked them how they dealt with their emotions and how their answers correlated with their level of anxiety in a variety of settings.The scientists wanted to see whether a more positive emotional strategy could offer more protection against anxiety than the suppressive(抑制的)approach.The participants all answered questionnaire designed to measure how much they were focused on achieving goals, Comparing their responses, the researchers found that the participants who regularly reframed what was happening to them to view their situation in a better light reported less severe anxiety than the parcitipants who suppressed their emotions.This strategy is called re-evaluation, and those who practiced it were more likely to view tough situations as challenges rather than problems, and reported less overall anxiety and social anxiety compared with the participants who tried to ignore their emotions instead.The results suggest that there may be behavior-based ways of addressing anxiety that people might be able to learn. Seeing difficult experiences as opportunities rather than problems requires being flexible enough to find new solutions to problems. People who tend to take this approach, say the study authors, are goal-oriented(以目标为方向的)and able to put individual situations into sensible views, realizing that a single difficult situation doesn’t necessarily signal bad fortune.Those who focus on trying to avoid negative situations may open themselves up to internalizing symptoms of anxiety and stress more, which can have harmful effects on health.Suppressing emotions may not allow for a productive way to overcome frustration or fear, and that could make those who adopt this approach more easily burt by anxiety.But the researchers say the findings don’t suggest that anxiety is an all -or nothing state. A little anxiety can work to a person’s benefit if it stresses concentration and effic iency. In some worlplace or social settings, for example, avoiding acting out or saying something regrettable could save a job or friendship.Not surprisingly, the researchers say it’s about being flexible enough to know how to regulate emotions and learning to be more flexible when faced with challenging situations.Being adaptive can come more easily to some than others, but many of the strategies for regulating emotions in第二节 书面表达下图描述的是全球环境的问题。
