第二节完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）
阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

I was an introvert(内向的人) by 36 . For as long as I remember, putting on a sincere smile when meeting someone had 37 been easy. The key to a sincere smile, 38 , is simple. It’s to be 39 . But that’s the source of the problem. When meeting people, 40 being excited, I often felt upset.
But we all know 41 are important. The more friends you have, the more opportunities you get, 42 it’s job opportunities, a romantic relationship, or business partners. So a smile is important to make others feel 43 . Mother Teresa said, “Every time you smile at someone, it is an action of love, a(an) 44 to that person, a beautiful thing.”
The smile I’m now talking about is not to make a face to cashiers or waiters. I’m talking about those 45 smiles you make when meeting old friends. So I’ve discovered a 46 . And I call this technique “Oh, it’s Jamie!” When I meet someone, I imagine
an old friend of mine called Jamie who was my first friend when we were 47 kids. It’s 48 why my smile is as wide as I can possibly make. And it’s not just the smile, but my tone and attitude that turn warm as well.
And the best part, whenever you’re frie ndly to others, they turn friendly 49 . You’re not hearing this from me. Some resea rch done by scientists actually 50 this claim. So do remember to give it a try.
Three years ago at the age of 23, I took a long hard look at my life and decided that I was 51 . 52 of my life, I set about 53 dramatic changes and now I have become
a popular writer. My 54 reflects that nothing is too difficult if you 55 bravely.
36. A. born B. nature C. myself D. me
37. A. always B. often C. never D. sometimes

43. A. comfortable B. excited C. anxious D. frightened
44. A. injury B. gift C. damage D. mercy
45. A. voluntary B. hesitant C. wide D. unwilling
46. A. method B. treat C. behavior D. trick
47. A. still B. again C. no longer D. even
48. A. no doubt B. no secret C. no reason D. no wonder
49. A. in return B. in turn C. in time D. in case
50. A. opposes B. disproves C. suggests D. backs
51. A. wrong B. nothing C. something D. right
52. A. Afraid B. Tired C. Reminded D. Informed
53. A. to make B. make C. making D. made
54. A. career B. changes C. decision D. success
55. A. try B. do C. change D. smile
第三部分：阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分）
A
Many banks are still not lending. They worry that they will not have enough capital to cover losses, but the situation does not allow many businesses to have the money they need to operate, and further slows a struggling economy.
In the United States, the government has so far provided almost 150 billion dollars to banks, mainly through buying shares. Yet this may not be enough to save some major banks. By some estimates, banks have at least one trillion dollars in losses that they have not yet reported.
The new administration of President Barack Obama is considering ways to save banks.
One possibility is to expand federal guarantees(担保) against losses on some troubled financial assets(资产). The government has already offered guarantees to Bank of America and Citigroup. But the cost of this kind of insurance could be huge.
Another possibility is to create a so-called bad bank. It would take questionable securities held by other banks. The idea would be similar to the Resolution Trust Corporation set up by the government in 1989. It was formed to sell assets from failed savings and loan banks.
But it is difficult to put a price on trouble securities. Taxpayers would lose money if the government pays too much. And if it pays too little, banks could still fail.
Some people see nationalization(国有化) as the answer. That is when a government takes ownership of a private business, often with the idea of selling it back to investors later. Existing shares become worthless.
In the early 1990s, Sweden nationalized some banks and later sold their troubled assets, recovering some costs. But a similar effort in the United States, the world’s biggest economy, could take years. And experts warn that lending and politics do not mix.
Coming up with a plan to fix the banks and the financial system is now the job for Tim Geithner. The Senate confirmed his this week to replace Henry Paulson as Treasury Secretary. Tim Geithner’s last job was head of the New York Federal Reserve Bank.
Supporters said he is the best person to deal with the financial crisis. But one-third of the Senate, mostly Republicans, voted against him.
He faced rebuke for his failure to pay 34,000 dollars in taxes when he worked for the International Monetary Fund(IMF). He owed it to “careless mistakes”. As Treasury Secretary he is the nation’s c hief tax collector.
56. What is the passage mainly about?
A. The financial crisis in the United States.
B. Possible ways to save US banks.
C. President Barack Obama’s financial policy.
D. The problems US banks are facing now.
57. We can learn from the passage that __________.
A. all the banks in the US have stopped lending money now.
B. American banks have lost less than one trillion dollars
C. the US government has taken some measures to save the banks
D. the American economic situation is getting much better
58. It can be concluded from the passage that _________.
A. Barack Obama’s government has taken effectively measures to save their banks.
B. Tim Geithner is the best person to deal with the financial crisis
C. each possible way mentioned in the passage has its disadvantage
D. nationalization may be the best way to save US banks
59. The word “rebuke” in the last paragraph most probably means “________”.
A. judgment
B. sympathy
C. assessment
D. blame
B
It was once thought that air pollution affected only the area immediately around large cities with factories and/or heavy automobile traffic. Today, we know that although these are the areas with the worst air pollution, the problem is actually worldwide. On several occasions over the past decade, a heavy cloud of air pollution has covered the entire eastern half of the United States and led to health warnings even in rural areas away from any major concentration of manufacturing and automobile traffic. In fact, the very climate of the entire earth may be affected by air pollution. Some scientists feel that the increasing concentration of carbon dioxide in the air resulting from the burning of fossil fuels (coal and oil) is creating a “greenhouse effect" - holding in heat reflected from the earth and raising the world's average temperature. If this view is correct and the world's temperature is raised only a few degrees, much of the polar ice cap will melt and cities such as New York, Boston, Miami, and New Orleans will be under water.
Another view, less widely held, is that increasing particulate (废气排往空中而形成的微粒、颗粒) matter in the atmosphere is blocking sunlight and lowering the earth's temperature ─ a result that would be equally disastrous. A drop of just a few degrees could create something close to new ice age and would make agriculture difficult or impossible in many of our top farming areas. At present we do not know for sure that either of these conditions will happen (though one recent government report prepared by experts in the field concluded that the greenhouse effect is very likely). Perhaps, if we are very lucky, the two tendencies will offset each other and the world's temperature will stay about the same as it is now.
60. As pointed out at the beginning of the passage, people used to think that air pollution
______.
A. caused widespread damage in the countryside
B. affected the entire eastern half of the United States
C. had damaging effects on health
D. existed merely in urban and industrial areas
61. As far as the greenhouse effect is concerned, the author ______.
A. shares the same view with the scientists
B. is uncertain of its occurrence
C. rejects it as being ungrounded
D. thinks that it will destroy the world soon
62. The underlined word “offset" in Para. 2 could best be replaced by______.
A. slip into
B. make up for
C. set up
D. catch up with
63. This passage is mainly concerned with ______.
A. the greenhouse effect
B. the burning of fossil fuels
C. the potential effect of air pollution
D. the possibility of a new ice age
C
In 1826,a Frenchman named Niepce needed pictures for his business. But he was not a good artist. So he invented a very simple camera. He put in a window of his house and took a picture of his yard. That was the first photograph.
The next important date in the history of photography was 1837. That year, Daguerre, another French, took a picture of his studio. He used a new kind of camera and a different process. In his pictures, you could see everything very clearly, even the smallest details. This kind of photograph was called a daguerreotype.
Soon, other people began to use Daguerre’s pro cess. Travelers brought back daguerreotypes from all around the world. People photographed famous buildings, cities and mountains.
In about 1840,the process was improved. Then photographers could take pictures of people and moving things. The process was not simple. The photographers had to carry lots of films and processing equipment. But this did not stop the photographers, especially in the United States, After 1840s daguerreotype artists were popular in most cities.
Mathew Brady was a well-known American photographer. He took many pictures of famous people. The pictures were unusual because they were very life-like and full of personality(个性）.
Brady was also the first person to take pictures of war. His 1862 Civil War pictures showed dead soldiers and ruined cities. They made the war seem more real and more terrible.
In the 1880s,new inventions began to change photography…Photographers could buy films ready-made in rolls(卷）. So they did not have to make the film themselves. Also, they did not have to process the film immediately. They could bring it back to their studios and develop it later meaning that they did not have to carry lots of equipment. And finally, the invention of the small handheld camera made photography less expensive.
With the small camera, anyone could be a photographer. People began to use cameras just for fun. They took pictures of their families, friends and favorite places. They called these pictures “snapshot”. Photographs became very popular in newspapers in the 1890s. Soon magazines and books also used documentary photographs. These pictures showed true events and people. They were much more real than drawing.
Photography also turned into a form of art by the end of the 19th century. Some photographs were not just copies of the real world. They showed ideas and feelings like
other art forms.
64. The passage is mainly about______.
A. the invention of cameras
B. a kind of new art-photography
C. the development of photography
D. the important dates in the history of photography
65. The first pictures of a war were taken by______.
A. a French photographer in the 1840s
B. an American photographer in the 1860s
C. a German reporter in the 1880s
D. a French artist in the 1890s
66. Photography can also be an art from because artists can______.
A. take anything they like
B. keep a record of real life
C. take photos of the famous
D. show ideas and feeling in pictures

We middle school students have many tests or exams. We have both achieved success and suffered from failure. Different students take different attitudes to failure. Some fall in low spirits when they don’t do well in the exams. They often lose heart and no longer study as hard as before. But most students take an active attitude towards failure. They encourage themselves to be self-confident. They find out and analyze the causes so that they will no longer make similar mistakes.
I agree with those with active attitudes. As we all know, failure is the mother of success. Even great men may have failed many times before they succeeded. So we must deal with our failure correctly.。
