Mos t people would say that, while these self-destructive (自我毁灭的) acts can have many root causes, they all have one obvious thing in common: they are all examples of failures of self-control, lacking the will power to resist（抵抗）them.According to a recent study, however, if you really think about it, somethingabout that simple answer doesn’t quite make sense. In fact, it turns out that sometimes it’s having will power that really gets you into trouble.Think back to the time you took your very first sip of be er. Disgusting, wasn’t it? When my father gave me my first taste of beer as a teenager, I wondered why anyone would voluntarily drink it. And smoking? No one enjoys their first cigarette —it tastes awful. So even though smoking, and drinking alcohol or coffee, can become temptation (诱惑) you need will power to resist, they never, ever start out that way.Just getting past those first horrible experiences actually requires a lot of self-control. Ironically (讽刺的是), only those who can control themselves well, rather than give in to them, can ever come to someday develop a “taste” for Budweiser beer, Marlboro cigarettes, or dark-roasted Starbucks coffee. We do it for social acceptance. We force ourselves to consume alcohol, cigarettes, coffee and even illegal drugs, in order to seem experienced, grown-up, and cool.These bad habits aren’t self-control failures —far from it. They are voluntary choices, and they are in fact self-control successes. Self-control is simply a tool to be put to some use, helpful or harmful. To live happy and productive lives, we need to develop not only our self-control, but also the wisdom to make good decisions about when and where to apply it.28. What do most people think causes bad behavior?A. Being forced by others.B. Not having enough will power.C. Enjoying their first experiences.D. Following the examples of their friends.29. The author mentions his experience in the third paragraph to prove ____.A. will power helps develop bad habits sometimesB. drinking beer is harmful to the health of teenagersC. self-control should be developed when one is youngD. everyone can be challenged by different temptations30. In the last paragraph, the author stresses that ____.A. without self-control, no one can succeedB. bad habits don’t always lead to bad resultsC. applying self-control correctly is importantD. people can develop wisdom from bad behavior31. What would be the best title for the passage?A. My First Sip of BeerB. Do You Have Will Power ?C. Will Power Benefits UsD. Dark Side of Self-controlDImagine your body is like the house you live in. Every day, your family creates rubbish. The rubbish builds up until it is put out for the weekly garbage collection.Now, say you put three bags of garbage out, but because one of the collectors was away sick, only two bags are collected. You take the leftover bag inside to be put out again next week. The following week you put on another three bags, plus the leftover bag from last week. But again, only two bags are collected. Imagine thiscycle is repeated over the following weeks.This is a simple description of what happens to your body when your kidneys (肾脏) don’t work efficiently. Your body is not thoroughly emptied of waste products. Other areas of the body such as blood pressure and red blood cell production are affected and the insidious process that may lead to kidney failure begins.It’s not uncommon for people to lose up to 90% of their kidney function before developing any symptoms. There may be no warning signs. This makes early detection (诊查) difficult.Kidney’s main job is to remo ve toxins (毒素) and unwanted water from our blood. Every day our kidneys clean an average of 200 litres of blood. Kidney failure may be a gradual and silent process, going unnoticed because there is no apparent pain.Research shows that more than 25% of the patients requiring dialysis (透析) do not see a kidney specialist before they have to do so. Some risk factors for kidney disease such as age and genetic make up are out of our control; however, some changes in lifestyle may help prevent kidney damage．Two major risk factors for kidney disease, diabetes (糖尿病) and high blood pressure, have been on the rise over the last few decades．Both conditions are chiefly affected by being overweight and not getting enough exercises, which are the potential risk factors for the kidney disease.32. The author gives the example of the house we live in to indicate that _______.A. it’s safe and harmless for our body to keep some wasteB. it’s important for our body to empty the waste in time every dayC. our body will not produce any waste if our kidneys work efficientlyD. it doesn’t matter much if the waste in our body is not emptied in time33. The underlined word “insidious” in the third paragraph means _______.A. smooth and safeB. obvious and fastC. gradual and unnoticedD. long and painful34. We can infer that when we find some symptoms related to our kidneys, _______.A. the kidney failure beginsB. the kidneys can still work properlyC. we have lost about 10% of kidney functionD. the kidneys may have been seriously damaged35. Which of the following helps prevent kidney damage most effectively?A. Go to see a kidney specialist shortly before dialysis starts.B. Take enough exercise and make early detection of kidney disease.C. Try to keep low blood pressure and a stable lifestyle.D. Go to hospital whenever you find any warning signs.第二节：根据短文内容, 从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项.选项中有两项为多余选项. （共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）If you find that your teacher is unfair to you, think about what is happening. Try to find out whether your teacher really dislikes you, or whether something else is going on. Here are some questions to ask yourself:36 Ask your classmates if they are having trouble with the teacher, too. If they say yes, perhaps your teacher is to blame.Are you working up to your ability? Maybe you got a C in your last test, and your teacher told you that you could do better. And the kid sitting beside you got a C, too. 37 Isn’t this unfair? Well, it could be that your teacher knows that you could do better if you put more effort into it. 38 .39 There’s nothing wrong with being sensitive (敏感的) ，but if you react to criticism quite differently from others, this could be a reason why you think your teacher doesn’t like you.Does your teacher seem to act unfairly all the time, or just once in a while? Think about the harsh (苛刻的) things your teacher has done to you. Are these things happening every day, or just once or twice a month? If your teacher really hates you, you would probably be picked on all the time. 40 .A. Are you the only person being treated badly, or is your teacher rough on the whole class?B. Are you getting along well with your classmates?C. Are you more sensitive than other students?D. Are you interested in your lessons?E. If your teacher has acted unfairly only a few times, then there’s probablysomething else going on.F. Teachers often grade students by different standards.G. But the teacher didn’t say anything to him！第三部分完形填空(共20小题，每小题1.5分, 满分30分)第一节：阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
