A few years ago, my younger brother and I went to Norfolk, Virginian by plane. 11 , before we took off, we heard the pilot's voice throughout the p lane, “Sorry, ladies and gentlemen. We have no 12 on the plane. We have a generator(发电机), and we are going to 13 the engines with it. We will 14 in the air and head to Norfolk, and see what happens. ”See what happens? We are going to get up in the air, and see what happens? At this point, one woman started crying. “Oh, no! We are going to 15 ！” There were sighs of 16 and anxiety quickly spreading throughout the plane, and we hadn't even 17 yet. Thirty minutespassed and we were still 18 there. Th en the voice of the pilot came over again,“ Ladies and gentlemen, I know you are 19 , so are we. We only have one engine going right now, and it is working double time. ”There was crying 20 we had walked in to grave(坟墓). But the pilot told us our one engine was working double time, and his 21 was to get up in the air and see what happens! Then we did. We got up in the air and 22 happened. We arrived in Norfolk and everyone 23 for still being alive.Although I do sincerely like to have a plan 24 “see what happens”, it really isn’t such a bad life strategy. All too often, I would see people pursuing their goals 25 with inaction just because they don’t have 26 success. Actually, success will never be guaranteed. The 27 thing that you can do is just get up in the air, and see what happens.If you are planning to learn a new skill, “get up in the air, and see what happens!” It might not be as 28 as you thought. You might be smarter than you thought, and the result could be very 29 ! So don’t s tay there trying nothing just because there is no 30 of guaranteed success.11. A. Hopefully B. Excitedly C. Unfortunately D. Thankfully12. A. service B. power C. water D. fuel13. A. shut B. fix C. change D. start14. A. get up B. pack up C. light up D. speed up15. A. wait B. delay C. crash D. suffer16.

(共20小题；每小题2分, 满分40分)AAs you grow older, you’ll be faced with some challenging decisions—like whether to cut class or try cigarettes. Making decisions on your own is hard enough, but when other people get involved and try to pressure you one way or another it can be even harder. People who are your age, like your classmates, are called peers. When they try to influence how you act, to get you to do something, it’s called peer pressure.Peers can have a positive influence on each other. Maybe another student in your science class taught you an easy way to remember the planets in the solar system. Maybe you got others excited about your new favorite book, and now everyone’s reading it. T hese are examples of how peers positively influence each other.Sometimes peers influence each other in negative ways. For example, a few kids in school might try to get you to cut class with them; your soccer friend might try to convince you to be mean to another player and never pass him the ball.If you continue to face peer pressure and you’re finding it difficult to handle, talk to someone you trust. Don’t feel guilty if you’ve made a mistake or two.31. For whom is the passage most probably written?A. Students.B. Parents.C. Teachers.D. Doctors.32. In the last three paragraphs, the author mainly_____.A. explains why friendship is so importantB. gives advice on how to deal with peer pressureC. discusses how peers influence usD. shows how to make more good friends33. Which of following may help handle peer pressure?A. Spending more time with classmates.B. Taking up more relaxing hobbies.C. Choosing friends with no bad habits.D. Helping others who are in trouble.34. What is the topic of the passage?A. Friendship.B. Making decisionsC. Self-confidenceD. Peer pressureBHere is an astonishing and significant fact: Mental work alone can't make us tired. It sounds absurd. But a few years ago, scientists tried to find out how long the human brain could labor without reaching a stage of fatigue(疲劳). To the amazement of these scientists, they discovered that blood passing through the brain, when it is active, shows no fatigue at all! If we took a drop of blood from a day laborer, we could find it full of fatigue toxins(霉素) and fatigue products. But if we took blood from the brain of an Albert Einstein, it would show no fatigue toxins at the end of the day.So far as the brain is concerned, it can work as well and swiftly at the end of eight or even twelve hours of efforts as at the beginning. The brain is totally tireless. So what makes us tired?Some scientists declare that most of our fatigue comes from our mental and emotional(情感的) attitudes. One of England's most outstanding scientists, J. A. Hadfield, says，“The greater part of the fatigue from which we suffer is of mental origin. In fact, fatigue of purely physical origin is rare.” Dr. Brill, a famous American scientist, goes even further. He declares，“One hundred percent of the fatigue of a sitting worker in good health isdue to emotional problems.”What kinds of emotions make sitting workers tired? Joy? Satisfaction? No! A feeling of being bored, anger, anxiety, tenseness, worry, a feeling of not being appreciated—those are the emotions that tire sitting workers. Hard work by itself seldom causes fatigue. We get tired because our emotions produce nervousness in the body.35．What surprised the scientists a few years ago?A．Fatigue toxins could hardly be found in a laborer's blood.B．Albert Einstein didn't feel worn out after a day's work.C．The brain could work for many hours without fatigue.D．A mental worker's blood was filled with fatigue toxins.36．According to the author, which of the following can make sitting workers tired?A．Challenging mental work. B．Unpleasant emotions.C．Endless tasks. D．Physical labor.37．What's the author's attitude towards the scientists' ideas?A．He agrees with them. B．He doubts them.C．He argues against them. D．He hesitates to accept them.38．We can infer from the passage that in order to stay energetic, sitting workers need to _____.A．have some good food B．enjoy their workC．exercise regularly D．discover fatigue toxinsCChina is a land of bicycles. At least it was back in 1992 when I traveled the country. Back then everyone seemed to be riding a bicycle. Millions of them, all black. Cars were rare. Yet since my arrival in Beijing last year, I've found the opposite is true. There are millions of cars. However, people still use their bicycles to get around. For many, it's the easiest and cheapest way to travel today. Bicycles also come in different colors—silver, green, red, blue, yellow, whatever you want.It's fun watching people biking. They rush quickly through crossroads, move skillfully through traffic, and ride even on sidewalks(人行道). Bicycles allow people the freedom to move about that cars just can't provide.Eager to be part of this aspect of Chinese culture, I decided to buy a bicycle. Great weather accompanied my great buy. I immediately jumped up on my bicycle seat and started home.My first ride home was orderly(守秩序的). To be safe, I stayed with a “pack” of bikers while cars on the streets came running swiftly out of nowhere at times. I didn't want to get hit. So I took the ride carefully.Crossing the streets was the biggest problem. It was a lot like crossing a major highway back in the United States. The streets here were wide, so crossing took time, skill and a little bit of luck.I finally made it home. The feeling on the bicycle was amazing. The air hitting my face and going through my hair was wonderful. I was sitting on top of the world as I passed by places and people. Biking made me feel alive.39．According to the author, why are bicycles still popular in China today?A．Because they are traditional and safe.B．Because they are convenient and inexpensive.C．Because they are colorful and available.D．Because they are fast and environment friendly.40．The author decided to buy a bicycle because he intended ________.A．to ride it for fun B．to use it for transportC．to experience local culture D．to improve his riding skills41．How did the author feel about his street crossing?A．It was boring. B．It was difficult.C．It was lively. D．It was wonderful.42．Which of the following best describes the author's biking experience?A．The author enjoyed showing off his biking skills.B．The author was annoyed by the air while riding.C．The author was praised by the other bikers.D．The author took great pleasure in biking.DWhen asked about happiness, we usually think of something extraordinary, an absolute delight, which seems to get rarer the older we get.For kids, happiness has a magical quality. Their delight at winning a race or getting a new bike is unreserved(毫不掩饰的)．In the teenage years the concept of happiness changes. Suddenly it's conditional on such things as excitement, love and popularity. I can still recall the excitement of being invited to dance with the most attractive boy at the school party.In adulthood the things that bring deep joy—love, marriage, birth—also bring responsibility and the risk of loss. For adults, happiness is complicated(复杂的)．My definition of ha ppiness is “the capacity for enjoyment”. The more we can enjoy what we have, the happier we are. It's easy to overlook the pleasure we get from the company of friends, the freedom to live where we please, and even good health.I experienced my little moments of pleasure yesterday. First I was overjoyed when I shut the last lunch­box and had the house to myself. Then I spent an uninterrupted morning writing, which I love. When the kids and my husband came home, I enjoyed their noise after the quiet of the day.Psychologists tell us that to be happy we need a mix of enjoyable leisure time and satisfying work. I don't think that my grandmother, who raised 14 children, had much of either. She did have a network of close friends and family, and maybe this is what satisfied her.We, however, with so many choices and such pressure to succeed in every area, have turned happiness into one more thing we've got to have. We're so self­conscious about our “right” to it that it's making us miserable. So we chase it and equal it with wealth and success, without noticing that the people who have those things aren't necessarily happier.Happiness isn't about what happens to us—it's about how we see what happens to us. It's the skillful way of finding a positive for every negative. It's not wishing for what we don't have, but enjoying what we do possess.43．As people grow older, they ________.A．feel it harder to experience happiness B．associate their happiness less with othersC．will take fewer risks in pursuing happiness D．tend to believe responsibility meanshappiness44．What can we learn about the author from Paragraph 5 and 6?A．She cares little about her own health. B．She enjoys the freedom of traveling.C．She is easily pleased by things in daily life. D．She prefers getting pleasure fromhousework.45．What can be informed from Paragraph 7?A．Psychologists think satisfying work is key to happiness.B．Psychologists' opinion is well proved by Grandma' case.C．Grandma often found time for social gatherings.D．Grandma's happiness came from modest expectations of life.46．People who equal happiness with wealth and success ______.A．consider pressure something blocking their way B．stress their right to happinesstoo muchC．are at a loss to make correct choices D．are more likely to be happyENo one likes to make mistakes. But a new study says organizations learn more fromtheir failures than from their successes, and keep that knowledge longer.One of the researchers was Vinit Desai, an assistant professor at the University ofColorado Denver Business School. He worked with Peter Madsen from the Marriott School of Management at Brigham Young University in Utah.They did not find much long-term "organizational learning" from success. It is possible,they say But Professor Desai says they found that knowledge gained from failure lasts foryears.He says organizations should treat failures as a learning opportunity and not try toignore them．The study looked at companies and organizations that launch satellites一and other spacevehicles. Professor Desai compared two shuttle flights．In two thousand two, a piece of insulating（隔热的）material broke off, during launchand damaged a rocket on the Atlantis. Still, the flight was considered a success.Then, inearly two thousand three, a piece of insulation struck the Columbia during launch.This time,the shuttle broke apart on re-entry and the seven crew members died. NASA officials suspendedall flights and an investigation led to suggested changes.Professor Desai says the search for solutions after a failure can make leadersmore-minded. He points to airlines as an example of an industry that has learned fromfailures in the past.He advises organizations to look for useful information in small failures and failuresthey avoided. He also urges leaders to encourage the open sharing of information. The studyappeared in the Academy of Management JournalThe mistakes we learn from do not have to be our own. We recently asked people on ourFacebook page to tell us a time they had done something really silly.Fabricio Cmino wrote: Not long ago I wanted to watch TV, but it wouldn't turn on, soI did everything I could to start it. Thirty minutes later my mum showed up and, passingby, said to me"Did you try plugging it'? I’m just dusting，Mum！”So she wouldn't noticehow dumb I am sometimes！Bruno Kanieski da Silva told about a time he looked everywhere for his key. It was inhis pocket. He wrote：I always promise I will never do it again, but after-a few weeks，where is my wallet? For sure it will be in a very logical place.47. What we get from failure differs from that from success in that_______.A. what we learn from failure is more powerfulB. what we learn from success does no good to usC. the knowledge gained from failure is important for a companyD. the knowledge gained from failure lasts longer48. From the passage, we can infer that________.A. the insulating material problem in 2002 didn't arouse enough attentionB. there were no astronauts on ColumbiaC. in spite of the problem, Atlantis was considered a successD. Columbia exploded during its launch time49 ．The writer gives the last two paragraphs to show that________.A. many people make mistakes in the worldB. mistakes were a very embarrassing thing when found by othersC. we can also draw a lesson from others' mistakesD. making mistakes was a necessity50. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. Only organizations can learn from mistakesB. We can also learn from failures that have been avoided.C. Lessons from the shuttle flights are more important.D. Leaders often lack an open mind and seldom share information.第二节补全对话(共5小题,每题2分,共10分)M: I’d like to mail a package to Shanghai.

Sometimes a certain situation or a certain person just pushes our buttons, making it much more difficult for us to remain patient. Once you lose patience, things tend to go wrong. It becomes harder to concentrate, and it becomes harder to be polite to other people.[2]________ takes time and it takes patience to learn to be patient. Patience is acquired as you acquire wisdom, and wisdom is the child of experience. No one is born wise, just as no one is born patient. As you learn and grow and experience things in life, you become wiser and learn how to interact with difficult kinds of people.[3]For example, you start your first job in a big office, and you don't really know how to work with lots of people. This is normal, as you have never had the experience of working in an office before. At first, it might be difficult to understand your job. You might even lose patience, but over time you'll be able to interact with other people with more confidence and patience. When someone at work disagrees with you, it will make you flustered. However, with experience, you'll learn how to present your opinion clearly. You'll be less likely to become bothered when presented with different situations. The more patience you have, the better you'll cope in various situations.[4]Though it might be difficult, you should try to be patient in life. This will help you in nearly all situations. You must keep in mind that patience comes with experience and wisdom. Age doesn't always mean that someone is wise, and wisdom doesn't always mean that someone is patient, though the two often go hand in hand.56．What would be the best title of the passage?
