Both look very strong and fast. 1 one runner speeds ahead and wins the race. The other fails behind. Some athletes can reach great 2 suchas the achievement of an Olympic gold medal. Others never live up to their 3 . What kind of 4 before a race or other event makes the 5 ? Everyone knows that athletes work out to strengthen their 6 . But research shows that strengthening the mind may be just as 7 . Careful study indicate（表明）that the best athletes win 8 because they think they can win.Thinking positive thoughts seems to give possibility for 9 in sports. People who say to themselves over and over, “I know I can do this,” often find they have the 10 to win. On the other hand, people often 11 , who think, “I can’t win.”One procedure that helps many athletes is creating 12 in the mind. They are told to think of each 13 they must make to win. Some use pictures that are more fanciful. One skater liked to 14 a star bursting inside her, 15 he with energy. Another athlete who wantedto feel 16 pictured himself as a 17 floating in the air.Next time you want to do something well, try training your 18 to help you. Perhaps a teacher or other instructor can help you plan your training. If you imagine yourself doing better, you may soon see 19 in what you 20 can do. Positive thinking and pictures created in your mind can help you win!1. A. Therefore B. And C. But D. While2. A. places B. prizes C. medals D. goals3. A. plane B. promise C. name D. prize4.

That’s why a large group of mechanical engineers (centered at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, but with partners at other universities and companies) are hard at work in an effort to replace batteries with a tiny engine that runs on fuel. Imagine a battery-free life! When the fuel runs out in your laptop or mobile phone, you just fill up and go.The engine—about the size of a ten-cent coin—starts with a combustion chamber (燃烧室) that burns hydrogen (氢) . Its tiny parts are etched onto silicon wafers (硅片) in the same manner that computer parts are imprinted onto integrated circuits (集成电路). The first engine is made up of five wafers. And since these wafers could be produced in much the same way as computer chips, they could probably be produced quite cheaply.But the devil in all this nice detail is efficiency（效率）. Tiny engine parts don’t always behave like their scaled-up parts of the first engine. Something between the parts can slow down the works, according to Columbia University professor Luc Frechette, one of the engine’s designers. Extreme heat from the combustion chamber is also a problem, often leaking to other parts of the engine.The scientists’ g oal is to create an engine that will operate at 10 percent efficiency —that is, 10 times better than batteries operate. Frechette says that a complete system, with all parts of place and working, will be set up in the next couple of years, but commercial m odels aren’t like until at least the end of the next ten years.1. According to the passage, the title suggests that ________A.batteries should be greatly improvedB.petrol will be used instead of batteriesC. the time of batteries will be gone foreverD. pollution caused by batteries must be solved2. What’s the meaning of the underlined word “devil” in paragraph3?A. problemB. advantageC. invention Ｄ. technique3. What can we infer from the passage?A. The new invention doesn’t need any fuel.B. The new engine has been produced in quantity.C. The new invention is much cheaper than the battery.D. The new engine need s to be improved before it’s on sale4. What is the main purpose of this passage?A. To introduce a new invention to readers.B. To persuade readers not to use batteries.C. To show us how the new invention works.D. To declare when the engine will be on sale.BStarting school late should be the guiding principle (原则) for high schools around the Puget Sound District. Next year, Seattle’s Nathan Hale High School will join the growing list of schools starting a little later to allow students an hour’s extra sleep. As a national research has shown, a later start time benefits students both in learning and physical development.For school leaders, it isn’t easy to make the change. Bus schedules have to be rearranged, sometimes presenting the districts with a choice of keeping traditional starting times at high schools or forcing elementary students to start much earlier. Some sports practice and event schedules can also be affected.Around Puget Sound District, the Bainbridge Island School and Inglemoor High School and Mercer Island High School have either moved starting time later or created flexible (灵活的)schedules for students.Two of the Seattle district’s high schools, Summit and The Center School, already start at 9 a. m.There are excellent reasons for such moves. Scientists have found that teenagers’ bodies usually aren’t ready for sleep until around 11 p. m. And the teens can sleep deeply until 8 a.m. A study in Minnesota found that students earned slightly better grades and experienced less depression (抑郁). There was also a significant improvement in school dropout rates. Other studies have suggested that teenagers with enough sleep relate better to their peers and their parents. These advantages are increasingly well known. Nathan Hale officials have been tracking the studies for six years. But change isn’t happeni ng rapidly, if at all.Some of the lack of rush to make changes comes from comfort with the existing condition. Parents - like the school leaders - are used to the present schedules. In Edina, Minnesota, however, parents quickly came to like the 8:30 a. m. start. A survey showed that 92 percent of parents preferred the schools’ new time to the previous 7:20 a. m. class bell. Any school action that can deal with such difficult problems as depression and dropouts , while helping students with grades and getting along with parents, is one that is worthy of serious attention in every school district. Teenagers have adapted (使适应) their sleep needs to school schedules for generations. It’s time that more schools put the students’ needs first.5.What is the writer’s attitude toward the change in school time?A. He is in favor of it.B. He seems to object to it.C. He is unconcerned with it.D. He is doubtful about it.6. We can infer from the passage that .A. starting school early can improve students’ healthB. some schools haven’t put starting school late into practiceC. sleeping late can provide the students more time to read booksD. more parents are supporting the traditional starting school time7. Which of the following could be the best title of the passage?A. Better Late Than EarlyB. On Keeping Late HoursC. The Earlier, the BetterD. Better Late Than NeverCA number of words, like the tails of kites, somehow get tied to the word "dead"--words such as "dead ringer", "deadwood", "deadbeat", "dead end", etc.Dying is an unpleasant experience. Why we think about it--it is something that should happen to nobody. Yet, the word “dead” has given American English some of its liveliest expressions.One of the first seems to have arisen in England more than 600 years ago. There was a saying among people that something was “as dead as a doornail”.It is difficult to explain why a doornail is deader than anythingelse. One can only guess. Perhaps the continual pounding on a doornail would surely put an end to it. One guess is noworse than another.Nevertheless, the expression, "dead as a doornail," crossed the ocean and settled down among the American people, who use the word "dead" in endless ways.For example, Americans say a car that will not start is dead as a doornail. And if it does get moving it may take you down a “dead end” street. Finally, you will find yourself “dead tired”,because your engine is making so much noise that you may end in a "dead heat" --or "dead tie" --with the police who are after you. They may not perhaps, be friendly. They look you overcarefully, with suspicion, for they think you are a "dead ringer" for some escaped criminal (罪犯) who looks like your twin brother.This is a most unhappy situation. Only a "deadhead" would reject （refuse to accept）this good advice--turn the car in and get a new one, even if you are "dead broke".You can always borrow the money from friends, unless you are known to be a “deadbeat” --a man who never pays back. You can prove they are “ dead wrong” by paying back the moneyyou borrowed !8. According to the passage we know that____________________A. people still don’t know why the word "dead" is usedB. people can say for sure why the word "dead" is usedC. "dead" is a pleasant wordD. the word "dead" is popular in England9. The sentence “One guess is no worse than another.” in the fourthparagraph means___________A. one guess is better than anotherB. you can guess in any wayC. one guess is as good as anotherD. one guess is as bad as another10.The police will look you over carefully,when________________________A. they think you are very like some escaped criminalB. your engine is making too much noiseC. they find you are just the man they wantD. your twin brother is a criminal11. It can be inferred that___________________A. you can borrow the money from friends unless you pay them backB. you can’t borrow the money from friends unless you pay them backC. you can borrow the money from friends unless you are a man who paysbackD. you can’t borrow the money from friends, unless you are a man whonever pays back12. What is the passage mainly about?A. The word “dead” has given American English some of its liveliestexpressions.B. It is difficult to explain why people use the word “dead”.C. The word “dead” is mostly used in the U. S.D. Don’t be a “deadbeat”, otherwise, you can't borrow money fromfriends.DLinguists(语言学家)believe that the languages of about one-third of the human race all developed from one Indo-European language .But who were the speakers of this ancient language? Linguistic detective work offers some clues. It’s sometimes said that you can deduce (推断) a people’s history from the words they use. Study of some fifty ancient vocabularies has led to a reconstruction of the lifestyle of the first Indo-European, a vanished (消失的) people. From the words they used, it seems likely that they lived a half-settled, half-nomadic (游牧的) existence. They had horses, oxen, and sheep. They plowed, planted, worked leather, and wove wool. They worshipped gods who are clear ancestors of Indian, Mediterranean, and Celtic deities (神). However, exactly who the original Indo-Europeans were and when they lived remains a hotly debated mystery. According to an early theory, they lived in Mesopotamia, but this idea was exploded by nineteenth-century archaeology (考古学). Today, some argue for the Krugan culture of the Russian steppes, others for the farming culture of the Danube valley. The most widely accepted theory locates the Indo-Europeans in a cold, northern climate where common words for snow and wolf were important. None of these prehistoric languages had word for the sea. From this, and from our knowledge of nature it is clear that the Indo-Europeans must have lived somewhere in northern central Europe.13.According to the writer, what has helped us understand the lifestyleof the original Indo-Europeans ?A.Studying their writings.B. Studying prehistoric languages.C. Studying their godsD. Studying ancient climate data.14. Which of the following best explains the meaning of the word“explode” as it is used in the text?A. To develop what has already existed there better or further.B. To study carefully what has been thought o be a rule or a theory.C. To explain exactly what people still have some misunderstandingsabout.D. To prove what many people think or believe , is wrong or not true.15. What do some people think that the Krugan culture might be?A. A tribe that lived in Mesopotamia.B. A farming culture in the Danube valleyC. The original Indo-Europeans.D.A tribe that lived near a sea.四、改错（10题，满分10分）When the world enters the 21st century,the development in the1. ________ science and technology will bring us much more hopes and2. ________ chances we have never imagined before.
