This can be disheartening, but as an MBA, you know that perception(洞察⼒)is more important than reality. The key to getting hired is an e mployer’s perception of you. Many MBA graduates are guilty of unconsciously displaying signs that they are not the best fit for the job. Once you discover what these common mistakes are, you can put your MBA skills to use and strategize how to turn things in your favor and land the job you’ve been looking for.Employers feel more comfortable hiring MBAs with experience because there is less need for training. Many MBAs mistakenly apply for jobs they are obviously not qualified for or which require more experience than they have, leaving themscratching their heads at why they’re not getting interviews. Recruiters want MBAs who can prove their ability to increase revenues, decrease costs, and help their business succeed in some way. Show that you can help the company by providing concrete examples of relevant experience.MBAs often have great resumes showing all the right qualifications, but then blow the interview with inappropriate behavior, such as a lack of professional appearance, poor hygie ne, or even a bad attitude. It’s necessary to be on your best behavior, dress appropriately, and not seem cocky, bored, or disinterested in the company. A little enthusiasm won’t hurt you, especially when it comes to a potential new job. Every business wants to put their most enthusiastic MBAs forward with important clients and customers, so be sure to show your passion for your work.Another mistake you may be making unknowingly is how you portray yourself on social media. As an MBA, you know how im portant networking is, and these days, most of it is done online. Don’t assume that employers aren’t interested in your online profiles. Many employers now use social networking sites and online searches to check up on potential hires. Inappropriate photos and information, such as annoying material or implications of drinking and drug use are huge red flags to employers. Even discriminatory comments related to race, gender, or religion will leave employers with a bad impression. Make sure to remove any phot os, content, or links that can work against you in an employer’s eyes.Don’t forget that practice makes perfect when it comes to finding a great MBA job. Earning your MBA was a huge accomplishment, but there’s always room for improvement. Ask your c lassmates, peers, family, and even past co-workers or managers for feedback. Show multiple, trusted resources the job posting you’re interested in, your cover letter and resume. Take constructive criticism on how it can be better. Do mock interviews to help relieve any tension and gain a better idea of how you’d like to present yourself. With a few minor changes to your resume and the way you interact with others, you’ll be21.

高三英语周练（一）第一部分阅读理解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。
AYou must know what BYD stands for? Yes, Build Your Dream. Have you built your dream and spare no effort to achieve it? Here is an inspiring story from .Eddie Arcaro dreamed of bec oming the world’s greatest jockey（赛马骑师）. But after watching him ride a horse for five minutes, reality reflected a rough contradiction. He was awkward and clumsy, and in his early years in the saddle he couldn’t do one thing right.In his first 100 races he never even came close to winning. Still, he got right back on and trained again. Even as a schoolboy, Arcaro had set his own track in life. Because he was only a little over five feet tall (1.5 meters) and weighed barely 80 pounds (36kg), the other students picked on him. So he skipped school, hanging out at the local race track where a trainer let him ride horses.His father reluctantly agreed to let him pursue a career as a jockey. The trainer had told him so. “Send him back to school,” he said. “He’ll never be a rider.” In spite of that, Arcaro was determined not just to ride, but to become the world’s greatest jockey. But first someone w ould have to give him a chance.He finally got to ride in a real race. Before it was over, he’d lost his whip and his cap and had almost fallen off the saddle. By the time he finished the race, the other horses were on their way to the stables（马厩）. He’d come in dead last. Nevertheless, Arcaro went from track to track, looki ng for any opportunity to ride.Finally, a trainer who pitied him took him in and gave him a chance. One hundred losses later, he was still giving him chances. He saw somethi ng in this unlucky jockey, something he couldn’t define.There were many brushes with death and several broken bones. Every time he would return to the saddle. Then Arcaro began to win. In thirty years of riding, he won 4, 779 races, becoming the only jockey in history to win the Kentucky Derby five times. By the time he retired in 1962 he was a millionaire and a legend in his own lifetime.1. The underlined phrase “picked on” in the passage probably means ________.A. paid attention toB. made fun ofC. offered help toD. took special care of2. The trainer who believed in Arcaro gave him chances because _______.A. Arcaro had shown great talents in horse racingB. he thought all that Arcaro needed was a bit of luckC. he had sympathy for Arcaro for his unfortunate experiencesD. he was impressed by the way Arcaro stuck to his dream3. The key message the author wants to convey through the passage is that _______.A. a man of words and not of deeds is like a garden full of weedsB. you can’t stop the waves, but you can learn how to surfC. winners in life set goals and follow through on themD. life consists not in holding good cards, but in playing well those you hold4. Which of the following would be the most proper title for the passage?A. The Man With The One Track MindB. A Star With Many SkillsC. An Inspiring Website StoryD. Inspiration Is Around UsBTo err is human. To blame the other guy is even more human.Common sense is not all that common.Why tell the truth when you can come up with a good excuse?These three popular misquotes (戏谑的引语) are meant to be jokes, and yet they tell us a lot about human nature. To err, or to make mistakes, is indeed a part of being human, but it seems that most people don't want to accept the responsibility for the problem. Perhaps it is the natural thing to do. The original quote about human nature went like this: "To err is human, to forgive, divine (神圣的)." This saying mirrors a deal people should be forgiving of others' mistakes. Instead, we tend to do the opposite-find someone else to pass the blame on to. However, taking responsibility for something that went wrong is a making of great maturity.Common sense is what we call clear thought. Having common sense means having a good general plan that will make things work well, and it also means staying with the plan. Commonsense tells you that you take an umbrella out into a rainstorm, but you leave the umbrella home when you hear a weather forecast for sunshine. Common sense does not seem to be common for large organizations, because there are so many things going on that one person cannot be in charge of everything. People say that in a large company, "the right hand does not know what the left hand is doing."And what is wrong with a society that thinks that making up a good excuse is like creating a work of art? One of the common problems with making excuses is that people, especially young people. get the idea that it's okay not to be totally honest all the time. There is a corollary (直接推论) to that: if good excuse is "good" even if it isn't honest, then where is the place of the truth？1. According to the author, what is a sign of a man's maturity?A. Doing things his own way.B. Bearing responsibility for his mistakes.C. Making as few mistakes as possible.D. Thinking seriously about his wrongdoing.2. Which of the following is NOT based on common sense?A. A man tries to take charge of everything in a large company.B. A student goes out with an umbrella in stormy weather.C. A company's next move follows a good plan.D. A lawyer acts on fine judgments.3. What is the author's opinion about a good excuse?A. Making a good excuse is sometimes a better policy.B. Inventing a good excuse needs creative ideas.C. A good excuse is as rewarding as honesty.D. Bitter truth is better than a good excuse.4. What would be the best title for his passage?A. A Mirror of Human NatureB. To Blame or to ForgiveC. A Mark of MaturityD. Truth or ExcuseCI learned a long time ago that hair has meanings—plenty of meanings. Growing up in the 1960s, my friends and I struggled without parents’ control over the length and style of our hair.At the time, hair represented our need to break free from adults in our lives. Long hair represented our freed inner selves.My clients are often surprised when I asked them questions about their hairstyle—why they choose it, how else they’ve worn t heir hair, how they feel about it, and so on. However, while it may seem to be a simple topic, even today our hairstyles still have many psychological and emotional meanings. Understanding some of those meanings can lead to understanding of many different aspects of a person’s mind. How we view our hair, for example, can show something about how we view ourselves.Our hair can show physical and emotional wellbeing, desirability, and even social and financial status. When it becomes dull or fragile, it can communicate emotional and physical diseases. But hair can also show unrecognized and often unspoken daydreams about oneself and one’s world. One woman—a successful professional—wore her long hair in a thick bun(发髻).But one day she showed me that tangled(缠结的) hair was kept in the bun. She said that she never brushed out the tangles because the hair showed her secret image of herself as a helpless, disturbed woman, like Ophelia in the play Hamlet.Another woman came to therapy in a huge shirt and huge pants that she believed they could hide the weight she had put on since the birth of her child. She talked about how much she hated her body and how helpless she felt about doing anything about it. But her hair was always beautifully coloured and decorated. When I pointed out that she seemed to have a different relationship with her hair from she did with her body, she said that her hair had been thinning and that she was trying to make it look as good as she could. I pointed out that what she was doing with her hair and her body was kind of contradictory, and wondered if she had any thoughts about that.She was surprised. But as we talked about her contradictory attitudes towards different parts of her physical self, we began to open up all sorts of other thoughts and ideas about her inner self.And interestingly, as we continued opening those internal doors, changes started to happen. She started eating differently and exercising regularly. One day some months later, she appeared in my office in skinny jeans and a tight sweater, and her hair was pulled back in a ponytail. “I decided to see what would happen if I stopped trying to hide myself, ” she said with a big smile.“And…? ” I asked. “People keep smiling at me in t he street. My husband hugged me this morning for the first time in ages. And I feel good! ”Besides, self-respect in both men and women can be damaged by thinning hair；they may feel alone even though they are really not. Given our cultural focus on physical appearance, youth, and health, hair loss can be unpleasant for both men and women. The market is filled with hair-enhancing treatments, but there are those who have decided to be against the system and change to the “bald is beautiful” position. But it is much harder for women to take the “bald is beautiful” approach to hair loss. We tend to try to hide it in one way or another.But no matter what approach you use, it is important to remember that the thickness of your hair has nothing to do with your value in the world. Remember that you have nothing to be ashamed of if you have thinning hair. Thinning hair may not be something you can change, but itdoesn’t have to c ontrol how you represent the person who lives underneath it.1. In the 1960s, long hair represented___________.A. fashionB. honestyC. peaceD. freedom2. Why does the author ask clients questions about their hairstyle?A. Because this topic can reduce clients’ pain.B. Because the hairstyle can reflect one’s inner self.C. Because it’s a simple topic to start a conversation.D. Because this is a topic most people are interested in.3. The author mentioned stories of two women in order to___________.A. prove her ideaB. introduce the topicC. make comparisonsD. stress the importance of good hair4. What can we know about the woman wearing her long hair in a thick bun?A. She had long but thinning hair.B. She was helpless and disturbed.C. She was too busy to brush her hair.D. She loved the play Hamlet very much.5. What does the author advise us to do in the last two paragraphs?A. Not to be affected by thinning hair.B. To take the “bald is beautiful” position.C. To find suitable treatments for thinning hair.D. Not to pay too much attention to our physical appearance.DThe good news is that James Cameron’s Avatar, his first big film since Titanic,12 years ago, is a good film. The bad news — at least for Cameron — is that his film is not the masterpiece he set out to make. Nobody spends so much money (more than ￡214 million) or spends so much time(the project started in 1995) to make just a good film. No, Cameron has intended to make a classic science-fiction epic (史诗) that will take its place along with Star Wars, The Matrix or his own Terminator films. But, amazingly enough, Avatar is so beautiful that it’s almost too rich to take in and appreciate on one viewing. It’s not afraid of social and political comments, educating us in the evils(邪恶) of capitalism while entertaining us with the evils of capitalism.The curious thing about Avatar is that, for all of its advanced technological work, there is something out of date. The idea of humans using other bodies to travel in other worlds was an exciting concept for novelists and film-makers back in the 1990s."Second Life" can be easily found in films of that decade. Avatar’s political idea also seems out of date.Humans destroy things for short-sighted profits, and this has been going on all the time throughout the human history, hasn’t it?Undoubtedly, Cameron unbelievably succeeds in creating an extremely beautiful world that nobody has ever seen. But this wonderful shell of beauty can’t make up Avatar’s lack of heart. In the past, Cameron could always mix big scenes with strong feelings. What’s missing here is the h eartbreaking moment. The love story between Jake and Neytiri doesn’t take off the way Jack and Rose did in Titanic.However, despite all these, we will be left with a film that’s no masterpiece, but still well worth seeing.1. Considering the money and time spent on it, Avatar _____.A. is far from a really good filmB. invites a lot of bad reviewsC. costs too much than it deservesD. needs more investment2. The following films are made by Cameron EXCEPT _____.A. AvatarB. The MatrixC. TerminatorD. Titanic3. What’s the disadvantage of Avatar according to the passage?A. It entertains people without educating them.B. It doesn’t expose evils of capitalism.C. It lacks the heartbreaking moment.D. It creates a world that doesn’t exist at all.4. According to the article, the author thinks that _____.A. Avatar is still the best of Cameron’s worksB. Avatar is fearless when expressing its ideasC. good films should have big beautiful scenesD. Avatar provides new ideas about love and life5. What does the writer think of the film Avatar?A. It’s a masterpiece he has seen since Titanic.B. It’s a classic science-fiction epic like Star Wars.C. It’s a wonderful film with strong feelings.D. It’s a good science-fiction film worth seeing.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。

AOne day when I was 12, my mother gave me an order: I was to walk to the public library, and borrow at least one book for the summer. This was one more weapon for her to defeat my strange problem — inability to read.In the library, I found my way into the “Children’s Room.” I sat down on the floor and pulled a few books off the shelf at random. The cover of a book caught my eye. It presented a picture of a beagle. I had recently had a beagle, the first and only animal companion I ever had as a child. He was my secret sharer, but one morning, he was gone, given away to someone who had the space and the money to care for him. I never forgot my beagle.There on the book’s cover was a beagle which looked identical（相同的）to my dog. I ran my fingers over the picture of the dog on the cover. My eyes ran across the title, Amos, the Beagle with a Plan. Unknowingly, I had read the title. Without opening the book, I borrowed it from the library for the summer.Under the shade of a bush, I started to read about Amos. I read very, very slowly with difficulty. Though pages were turned slowly, I got the main idea of the story about a dog who, like mine, had been separated from his family and who finally found his way back home. That dog was my dog, and I was the little boy in the book. At the end of the story, my mind continued the final scene of reunion, on and on, until my own lost dog and I were, in my mind, running together.My mother’s call returned me to the real world. I suddenly realized something: I had read a book, and I had loved reading that book. Everyone knew I could not read. But I had read it. Books could be incredibly wonderful and I was going to read them.I never told my mother about my “miraculous” (奇迹般地) experience that summer, but she saw a slow but remarkable improvement in my classroom performance during the next year. And years later, she was proud that her son had read thousands of books, was awarded a PhD in literature, and authored his own books, articles, poetry and fiction. The power of the words has held.1..

Take your own camping facilities.B. Bury glass far away from rivers.C. Follow the track for the sake of plants.D. Observe signs to approach nesting birds.CScience has a lot of uses. It can uncover laws of nature, cure diseases, make bombs, and help bridges to stand up. Indeed science is so good at what it does that there’s always a temptation(诱惑) to drag it into problems where it may not be helpful. David Brooks, author of The Social Animal: The Hidden Sources of Love, Character, and Achievement, appears to be the latest in a long line of writers who have failed to resist the temptation.Brooks gained fame for several books. His latest book The Social Animal, however, is more ambitious and serious than his earlier books. It is an attempt to deal with a set of weighty topics. The book focuses on big questions: What has science revealed about human nature? What are the sources of character? And why are some people happy and successful while others aren’t?To answer these questions, Brooks surveys a wide range of disciplines（学科）. Considering this, you might expect the book to be a dry recitation of facts. But Brooks has structured his book in an unorthodox(非常规的), and perhaps unfortunate, way. Instead of introducing scientific theories, he tells a story, within which he tries to make his points, perhaps in order to keep the reader’s attention. So as Harold and Erica, the hero and heroine in his story, live through childhood, we hear about the science of child development and as they begin to date we hear about the theory of sexual attraction. Brooks carries this through to the death of one of his characters.On the whole, Brooks’s story is acceptable if uninspired. As one would expect, his writing is mostly clear an d, to be fair, some chapters stand out above the rest. I enjoyed, for instance, the chapter in which Harold discovers how to think on his own. While Harold and Erica are certainly not strong or memorable characters, the more serious problems with The Socia l Animal lie elsewhere. These problems partly involve Brooks’s attempt to translate his tale into science.8.The author mentions the functions of science at the beginning of the passage to__________.A. illustrate where science can be appliedB. demonstrate the value of Brooks’s new bookC. remind the reader of the importance of scienceD. explain why many writers use science in their works9.According to the author, which of the following could be a strength of the book?A. Its strong basis.B. Its convincing points.C. Its clear writing.D. Its memorable characters.10.What is the author’s general attitude towards the book?A. Contradictory.B. Supportive. C . Cautious. D. Critical.11.What is the author likely to write about after the last paragraph?A. Problems with the book.B. Brooks’s life experience.C. Death of the characters.D. Brooks’s translation skills.DI left university with a good degree in English Literature, but no sense of what I wanted to do. Over the next six years, I was treading water just trying to earn an income. I tried journalism, but I didn’t think I was any good, then finance, which I hated. Finally, I get a job as a rights assistant at a famous publisher. I loved working with books, although the job that I did was dull.I had enough savings to take a year off work, and I decided to try to satisfy a deep down wish to write a novel. Attending a Novel Writing MA course gave me the structure I needed to write my first 55,000 words.It takes confidence to make a new start－there’s a dark period in between where you’re neither one thing nor the other. You’re out for dinner and people ask what you do, and you’re too ashamed to say, “Well, I’m writing a novel, but I’m not quite sure if I’m going to get there.”My confidence dived. Believing my novel could not be published, I put it aside.Then I met an agent who said I should send my novel out to agents. So, I did and, to my surprise, got some wonderful feedback. I felt a little hope that I might actually become a published writer and, after signing with an agent, I finished the second half of the novel.The next problem was finding a publisher. After two and a half years of no income, just waiting and wondering, a publisher offered me a book deal－that publisher turned out to be the one I once worked for.It feels like an unbelievable stroke of luck—of fate, really. When you set out to do something different, there's no end in sight, so to find myself in a position where I now have my own name on a contract of the publisher—to be a published writer—is unbelievably rewarding．12. What does the underlined part in Paragraph 1 mean?A．I was waiting for good fortune.B．I was trying to find an admirable job.C．I was being aimless about a suitable job.D．I was doing several jobs for more pay at a time.13. The author decided to write a novel________.A．to finish the writing courseB．to realize her own dreamC．to satisfy readers’ wishD．to earn more money14. How did the writer feel halfway with the novel?A．Disturbed. B．Ashamed. C．Confident. D．Uncertain.15. What does the author mainly want to tell readers in the last paragraph?A．It pays to stick to one’s goal.B．Hard work can lead to success.C．She feels like being unexpectedly lucky.D．There is no end in sight when starting to do something.第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)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。

She was really small for her age of 12. The boy in my class often 26 about her and laughed their heads off. She would open a book, pretending to read, with tears dropping on the open page.All I knew was that she was an orphan from Africa. She had just been adopted by a family in town who 27 that the best way for her to learn American ways of life was to be with American kids. I looked down at this 28 girl and promised myself that somehow I would help her.But how could I help her 29 in with us? There had to be a 30 .One day, when I went into the classroom, I saw that Suzy had 31 her geography book to a picture of a train, and in her notebook, she had made a(n) 32 copy.I was surprised and thought that she could do something in the coming 33 show. So, I took her to see the art teacher, Miss Parker, and showed her what Suzy had 34 . “why, it ’s wonderful,” said Miss Parker, who then showed us a poster she had painted 35 the talent show. “I need more of these, but I just don ’t have enough 36 . Could you help me, Suzy?”On the day of the talent show, Suzy ’s 37 were everywhere ---- all over the hall and all over the school, each one different. “And finally,” said Mr. Brown, the schoolmaster, at the end of the show, “we have a (n) 38 award. I ’m sure you ’ve all noticed the wonderful posters.” Everyone nodded. “One of our own students 39 them.”I could hear everyone whispering. “Who in our school could draw 40 well?”Mr. Brown waited a while before saying, “ 41 this student worked so hard on the posters, she deserves a 42 ,too. Our mystery(神秘) artist is our new student ---- Suzy Khan!”Mr. Brown thanked her for all the wonderful posters and gave her a professional artist ’s set. “Thank you,” she cried.I 43 , at that time when I was looking at her excited face, she ’d probably never 44 anything in her whole life.Everyone started to 45 their hands.

Where would you be most likely to find the two texts?A. On a notice boardB. In a company brochure.C. On a teenage websiteD. In a college newspaper.BWhen I was a boy, my father told me that he could do anything he wanted to. Dad said that he wanted to be the first to develop color prints in our city. And so he did.When I was 16, Dad looked closely at the violin I played and announced that he wanted to make one. He read about violinmaking, and then became a violinmaker at the age of 43. He bought the tools and materials, opened a small store and set Mom up as the shopkeeper, while he worked at a local company. He retired from the company 17 years later and continued to make violins and other instruments.Dad often guessed why the Stradivarius violins sound so beautiful. Some experts claimed that it was the unique varnish(清漆) that gave those instruments their beautiful sound. Dad argued that chemists could analyze the varnish---if that were the answer.One of Dad’s friends asked him once which kind of wood was used to make violins. When Dad explained that the top was made of spruce（云杉）, his friend said that he had an old piece of spruce Dad might be interested in.He worked for the next 12 months making a violin from the wood that his friend had given him. It proved to be a superior violin and it would become Dad’s masterpiece. He was convinced that the secret of the Stradivarius sound was in the wood itself.Later, the instrument was stolen. Dad’s spirit was broken by the robbery, and he stopped making instruments. But he kept the music shop until he was 80 years old, selling guitars and violins.My father has been gone for 14 years now. The violin has been missing for more than 25 years. Somewhere a musician is playing alate-20th-century violin with an excellent tone. The owner today may never understand why this ordinary-looking violin sounds so much like Stradivarius.50. The author mentions his father’s developing color prints .A. to show that his father’s real interest was not in making violinsB. to prove that his father could do anything he wanted toC. to give an example proving that his father was an inventorD. to describe the real thing that made the author believe his father51. What did the author’ father think about Stradivarius violins?A. The varnish was different from others.B. The way of making them was special.C. The wood of the violins was special.D. They could only be analyzed by chemists.52. From the underlined sentence, we can learn that the author’sfather .A. liked the violin very muchB. got crazy after this happenedC. lost interest in instrumentsD. didn’t want to become famous53. We can infer from the last paragraph that the author .A. really hates the thiefB. misses his father a lotC.really wants to play the violinD. wonders who’s playing the violin nowCThere are two types of people in the world. Although they have equal degree of health and wealth and other comforts of life, one becomes happy and the other becomes unhappy. This arises from the different ways in which they consider things, persons, events and the resulting effects upon their minds.People who are to be happy fix their attention on the convenience of things: the pleasant parts of conversation, the well prepared dishes, the goodness of the wine and the fine weather. They enjoy all the cheerful things. Those who are to be unhappy think and speak only of the opposite things. Therefore, they are continually dissatisfied. By their remarks, they sour the pleasure of society, offend many people, and make themselves disagreeable everywhere. If this turn of mind was founded in nature, such unhappy persons would be the more to be pitied. The intention of criticizing and being disliked is perhaps taken up by imitation. It grows into a habit, unknown to its possessors. The habit may be strong, but it may be cured when those who have it realize its bad effects on their interests and tastes. I hope this little warning may be of service to them, and help them change this habit.Although in fact it is chiefly an act of the imagination, it has serious results in life since it brings on deep sorrow and bad luck. Those people offend many others; nobody loves them, and no one treats them with more than the most common politeness and respect. This frequently puts them in bad temper and draws them into arguments. If they aim at getting some advantages in social position or fortune, nobody wishes them success. Nor will anyone start a step or speak a word to favor their hopes. If they bring on themselves public objections, no one will defend or excuse them, and many will join to criticize their wrong doings. These should change this bad habit and be pleased with what is pleasing, without worrying needlessly about themselves and others. If they do not, it will be good for others to avoid any contact with them. Otherwise, it can be disagreeable and sometimes very inconvenient, especially when one becomes mixed up in their quarrels.54. People who are unhappy .A. always consider things differently from othersB. usually are affected by the results of certain thingsC. usually misunderstand what others think or sayD. always discover the unpleasant side of certain things55. We can conclude from the passage that .A. we should pity all such unhappy peopleB. such unhappy people are dangerous to social lifeC. people can get rid of the habit of unhappinessD. unhappy people can not understand happy persons56. If such unhappy persons insist on keeping the habit, the authorsuggests that people should .A. prevent any communication with themB. show no respect and politeness to themC. persuade them to recognize the bad effectsD. quarrel with them until they realize the mistakes57. In this passage, the writer mainly .A. describes two types of peopleB. laughs at the unhappy peopleC. suggests the unhappy people should get rid of the habits of unhappinessD. tell people how to be happy in lifeDOne hundred and thirteen million Americans have at least one bank-issued credit card. They give their owners automatic credit in stores, restaurants, and hotels, at home, across the country, and even abroad, and they make many banking services available as well. More and more of these credit cards can be read automatically, making it possible to withdraw or deposit money in scattered locations, whether or not the local branch bank is open. For many of us the “cashless society” is not on the horizon---it’s already here.While computer offer these conveniences to consumers, they have many advantages for sellers too. Electronic cash registers can do much more than simply ring up sales. They can keep a wide range of records, including who sold what, when and to whom. This information allows businessmen to keep track of their list of goods by showing which items are being sold and how far they are moving. Decisions to reorder or return goods to suppliers can then be made. At the same time these computers record which hours are busiest and which employees are the most efficient, allowing personnel and staffing assignments to be made accordingly. And they also identify preferred customer for promotional campaigns. Computers are relied on by manufacturers for similar reasons. Computer analyzed marketing reports can help to decide which products to emphasize now, which to develop for the future and which to drop. Computers keep track of goods in stock, of raw materials on hand, and even of the production process itself.Numerous other commercial enterprises, from theaters to magazine publishers, from gas and electric utilities to milk processors, bring better and more efficient services to consumers through the use of computers.58.According to the passage, the credit card enables its ownerto .A. withdraw as much money from the bank as he wishesB. obtain more convenient services than other people doC. enjoy great trust from the storekeeperD. cash money where he wished to59. From the last sentence of the first paragraph we learn that .A. in the future all the Americans will use credit cadsB. credit cards are mainly used in the United States todayC. nowadays many Americans do not pay in cashD. it is now more convenient to use credit cards than before60. The phrase“ring up sales”most probably means .A. make an order of goodsB. record sales on a cash registerC. call the sales managerD. keep track of the goods in stock第二节（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）A. Using a proverb to tell us how to keep healthyB. Getting up early --- one good way to keep healthyC. The importance of sleepingD. Introduction to keeping healthyE. The importance of the blood in our bodiesF. The benefit of exercise61. __________Habit is something we do very often. We do not think when we are doing it. We can have good habits or bad habits. This text gives some advice on how to be healthy. It tells you what to do if you want to be healthy. It also tells you what you must not do. It talks about good habits and bad habits.62.Early to bed and early to rise, makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise. This is an old English saying. Have you heard of it before? It means that we must go to bed early and get up early in the morning. if we do, we shall be healthy, we shall also be rich and clever.63.Is this true? Perhaps it is. The body must have enoughsleep .Children of your age need ten hours’ sleep every night. If you do not go to bed early, you can not have enough sleep. Then you can not think properly and you cannot do your work properly. You’ll not be wise and you may not become wealthy!64.Some people go to bed late at night and get up late in the morning. This is not good for them. We must sleep at night when it is dark. The dark helps us to sleep properly. When daylight comes, we must get up. This is the time for exercise. Exercise means doing things with the body. Walking, running, jumping, swimming, playing games are all exercises. If the body is not used, it becomes weak. Exercise keeps it strong.65.Exercise helps the blood to move around inside the body. Thisis very important. Blood takes food to all parts of our bodies. The brains in our heads also need blood. We think with our brains. If we keep our bodies healthy and take exercise, we can think well.第II卷（非选择题，共55分）第一节单词拼写（共10小题，每小题1分，满分10分）66.

高三A部英语周练试卷2017.10.18第一部分：阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题：每小题2分，满分30分AI was driving from Harrisburg to Lewisburg last night, a distance of about eighty miles. It was late. Several times I got stuck behind a slow-moving truck on a narrow road with a solid white line on my left, and I was clinching (紧握）my fists with impatience.At one point along an open highway, I came to a crossroads with the traffic light. I was alone on the road by now, but as I approached the light, it turned red and I braked to stop.I looked left, right and behind me. Nothing. Not a car, no suggestion of headlights, but there I sat, waiting for the light to change, the only human being for at least a mile in any direction.I started wondering why I refused to run the light. I was not afraid of being arrested，because there were obviously no police around, and there certainly would have been no danger in going through it.Much later that night, the question of why I'd stopped for that light came back to me. I think I stopped because it's part of an agreement we all have with each other. It's not only the law, but it's an agreement we have, and we trust each other to honor it: we don't go through red lights.It's amazing that we ever trust each other to do the right thing, isn't it? And we do, too. Trust is our first tendency. We have to make a deliberate decision to mistrust someone or tobe suspicious or skeptical. Those attitudes don't come naturally to us.It's a very good thing too，because the whole structure of our society depends on mutual trust, not distrust. This whole thing around us would fall apart if we didn't trust each other most of the time. We do what we say we'll do; we show up when we say we'11 show up;we deliver when we say we'll deliver;and we pay when we say we'11 pay. We trust each other in these matters, and when we don't do what we've promised, it's far from the normal. It happens often that we don't act in good faith and in a trustworthy manner, but we still consider it unusual, and we're angry or disappointed with those badly-behaved people. Anyway I was so proud of myself for stopping for the red light that night.1. Why did the author feel impatient while driving?A. Because he had already driven for a long time.B. Because it was too far away from his destination.C. Because he could not overpass a truck on a narrow road.D. Because something urgent happened in his family.2. The author stopped at the traffic light because_____.A. there were passers-by crossing the roadB. some policemen were on duty just at that pointC. there was potential dangerD. the trust between people influenced the author3. What would happen if people didn't trust each other in most cases?A. The social system would be thrown into disorder.B. All the things would run normally.C. the social traditions would be abandoned.D. Strict rules and laws would be made.4. What is the theme of the passage?A. A bird in hand is worth two in the bush.B. Mutual Trust is the best policy.C. Actions speak louder than words.D. Among the blind the one-eyed is the kingBGreat Yarmouth is an English seaside town situated at the mouth of the River Yare, about 120 miles to the northeast of London. Around 5 million people visit Great Yarmouth every year, making it one of Britai n’s most popular seaside resorts.Formerly the home of one of the most profitable fishing industries, Great Yarmouth is a busy and very popular seaside resort. Undoubtedly, one of the most popular attractions is Great Yarmouth Pleasure Beach, a historic free entry pleasure park, which draws annually 1.5 million visitors. The two piers(突堤码头), Britannia Pier and Wellington Pier, both contain family-orientated entertainment. As well as the usual thrills one would expect on a classic British seafront, Great Yarmouth also has a quieter side, with a fascinating heritage quarter to explore. Not many people know that Great Yarmouth has the most complete city walls after York, with heritage walks to help you discover this medieval (中世纪的)attraction along with several museums and houses dating back to many centuries. If ghost walks are more your cup of tea, Eerie Tales and Yarmouth Yarns is the tour for you.Great Yarmouth is also a centre for the North Sea oil and gas industry and increasinglyfor offshore wind power. The Great Yarmouth Outer Harbour is a huge development currently taking place which can see larger ships coming to the town. The Great Yarmouth Maritime(海上的) Festival in September each year celebrates Great Yarmouth’s maritime heritage.Over the past few years, Great Yarmouth has seen significant construction spending to improve and modernize the popular seafront area and to ensure it is linked to the town centre. Regent Road has a brilliant ceiling of light which is lit up in the evenings and is now a lovely street leading from the town centre to the seafront area.5．What can we infer about the tour of the heritage area?A. It must be thrilling.B. It is family-orientated.C. You are advised to keep calm.D. The visitors must love peace.6．Which of the following is making rapid progress?A. The fishing industry.B. The oil and gas industry.C. The wind power industry.D. The tourist industry.7．What can we know about Great Yarmouth from the last paragraph?A. Money is spent handling the traffic jams.B. Efforts are made to make it more convenient.C. The housing conditions are greatly improved.D. The service quality is being considered.8．Wh at’s the best title for the passage?A. A dreaming tourist place — Great YarmouthB.A fishing town into a modern cityC. Main industries of Great YarmouthD. The rise of Great YarmouthCA new study has discovered that meditation(冥想)and oxygen sport together reduce depression(抑郁)．The Rutgers University study found that this mind and body combination, done twice a week for only two months，reduced the symptoms for a group of students by 40 percent.“We are excited by the findings because we saw such a meaningful improvement in both clinically depressed and non—depressed students，”said lead author Dr．Brandon Alderman．“It is the first time that both of these two behavioral ways have been looked at together for dealing with depression．”Researchers believe the two activities have an interactive effect in combating depression．Alderman and Dr．Tracey Shors discovered that a combination of mental and physical training (MAP)enabled students with major depressive disorder not to let problems or negative thoughts defeat them．Rutgers researchers say those who participated in the study began with 30 minutes of focused attention meditation followed by 30 minutes of oxygen sport．They were told that if their thoughts drifted to the past or the future they should refocus on their breathing，enabling those with depression to accept moment-to-moment changes in attention．Shors，who studies the production of new brain cells in the hippocampus—part of thebrain involved in memory and learning—says scientists have shown in animal models that oxygen sport exercise keeps a large number of certain cells alive．The idea for the human intervention(干预)came from her laboratory studies，she says，with the main goal of helping individuals acquire new skills so that they can learn to recover from stressful life events．By learning to focus their attention and exercise，people who are fighting depression can acquire new learning skills that can help them process information and reduce the overwhelming recollection of memories from the past，Shors says．“We know these treatments can be practiced over a lifetime and t hat they will be effective in improving mental health．”said Alderman．“The good news is that this intervention can be practiced by anyone at any time and at no cost．”9．What made the research so different?A．Adopting a way of meaningful talk．B．Combining the two ways to treat depression．C．Treating depression with special medicine．D．Comparing the depressed with the non-depressed．10．The underlined word “combating” in Paragraph 3 can be replaced by______．A．fighting B．identifying C．distinguishing D．examinin g11．What did the participants do in the research?A．They did oxygen sport half an hour before thinking．B．They thought quietly and then took exercise．C．They took exercise longer than they thought．D．They took exercise while thinking quietly．12．What is Shors’main purpose of her studies?A．To find out certain brain cells of humans．B．To study the production of new brain cells．C．To offer people a new method to treat stress．D．To decide the links between stress and exercise．DPlanning to go to a gym? If you are one of those who spent many days planning to join a gym or to attend it regularly, then why not choose some home exercise? Here are some home exercises without equipment.Jumping jacksThis one is the best home workout without weights which is a great exercise that will work your hands and legs. Perform this exercise by standing with your feet placed together and arms at your sides. Now tuck in your abs(收腹) and jump by bending in your knees. At the same time, move your feet apart as much as you can and raise your hands to bring in line with your shoulder. While you come back you must be in a starting position, feet together, hands at sides and knees bent. You must land on your heels and again jump.JoggingJogging is on e of the best home exercises without weights. You don’t need to have a lawn or jogging track at home to perform this exercise.

2021年高三上学期第十次周练英语试题 含答案
2021年高三上学期第十次周练英语试题含答案一、阅读理解paring ourselves with others isn’t a recent phenomenon---it’s part of our culture. As soon as we’re able to form our own thoughts and opinions, we start paring. Who’s taller? Who’s better at sports? Who has more friends?Unlike other childish habits, the urge to measure up(攀比) doesn’t ever really go away. In fact, it only increases when we bee teens. “At a younger age, I found myself wanting to be cool and wondering why I wasn’t that cool,” said a junior student Michael Torres. “So I began doing what they did in order, to fit in with my own friends.”We are flooded with the message that we should pare ourselves with others. Magazines, advertisements, stores—it bees all about what other people have or what they’ve achieved. Social media adds another player to the problem. Facebook, Twitter and QQ offer a constant stream of updates about the people around us. She got accepted to Harvard? He bought the brand new Nikes? They’re dating?“If I go on Facebook or twitter and re ad about how wonderful everyoneelse is, I’m not feeling good about myself. It’s going to make me feel worse,” said Mike Robbins, a senior student. “I try not to let things like that affect me, but in the modern world of technology it’s hard not to take notice of what others are doing, and sometimes you want to be just like them.”Before you get caught up in the parison game, keep in mind one very important detail: When it es to social media, we often present only the things we want people to see---the good fortunes, happy moments, delicious desserts and best smiles.The deeper question is : Are people really posting things on social media that are true or are they simply doing it to present something to other people? It’s what we do in our culture: “Look how great I am,” “Look how smart I am,” “Look how happy I am,” and sometimes that’s true, but in a lot of cases, it’s not.While paring ourselves to others can inspire us to get ahead and work harder, it can also drive us crazy. Next time you find yourself wondering if you measure up, remember this: What we have is not a measure of who we are. We already have worth as an individual when we’re born.Everything else is what people think of us.21. When do we start to pare ourselves with others?A. When we go to junior schoolsB. When we were born into the worldC. When we have Facebook or TweeterD. When we have thoughts and opinions22. According to the author, why would people like to post wonderful things on social media?A. To show off their livesB. To get advice from readersC. To share happiness with othersD. To municate useful information23.The author presents the phenomenon of the parison by _________.A. listing a lot of figuresB. giving facts and examplesC. providing scientific findingsD. paring famous persons’ opinions24.From the passage, we learn that the author ________ parison with others.A. supportsB. ignoresC. opposesD.respectsThe movi es just wouldn’t be the same without the warm buttery taste of popcorn(爆米花). Amazingly, this delicious treat started its life as a corn kernel（玉米粒）---and not from just any corn. Popcorn is a type of sweet corn that was originally grown in Mexico and spread to China, India and elsewhere. It is the only kind of corn that will pop. Today, most of the world’s popcorn is grown in the United States.Every popcorn kernel contains a tiny drop of water, surrounded by soft starch (淀粉). When the popcorn is heated, the water turns into steam. This puts pressure on the surrounding hard kernel, forcing it to explode. The soft starch increases about 40 times in size as the corn kernel turns itself inside out.In the 1500s popcorn was an important food source for the Aztec Indians of central and southern Mexico. But it wasn’t only food. It was also used in ceremonies or on red dresses and in necklaces. By the time the Europeans arrived in America, popcorn had spread through most of the American Indians.Some early American settlers ate popcorn with cream and sugar for breakfast. But it wasn’t until the late 1800s that popcorn became popular. The demand for popcorn increased and farmers began farming popcorn. The first mobile popping machine was invented in 1885, and popcorn was sold by street sellers much like hot dogs that are sold today.During the Great Depression of the 1930s, the popcorn business still thrived as people could still afford it. Then in the 1950s television arrived and popcorn consumption decreased. People stayed home and stopped going to the theatre. But the link between movies and popcorn had already existed. Soon people began making popcorn at home on the stove and, later, microwave popcorn was introduced.Today the movies have regained popularity and popcorn has once again bee the favorite.25. Popcorn was first planted in________.A. ChinaB.America C. India D. Mexico26. Why does the corn kernel pop when heated?A. Because it is covered with soft starch.B. Because the pressure inside is too big.C. Because the starch bees bigger in size.D. Because there is water inside the kernel.27. We can know from the passage that________.A. popcorn began to be farmed in the late 1800sB. popcorn was only a kind of food in the 1500sC. hot dogs used to be sold by street sellersD. people stop eating popcorn while watching movies now28. The underlined word “thrived” in the fifth paragraph probably means “________”.A. started to disappearB. was seriously affectedC. suffered a lotD. developed very well二、七选五It’s Time to Put it AwayYour smart phone may have hurt you before you realize it. Don’t be addicted to it. Put your phone away, OK?1.Cyber SicknessAlso called “digital motion sickness”, symptoms that range from headaches to woozy feelings can occur when you quickly scroll on your smart phone or watch action-packed video on your screen. 36 Your sense of balance is different from other senses in that it has lots of inputs. When those inputs don’t agree, that’s when you feel dizziness and sickness.2. Text ClawIt is the unofficial term for soreness and muscle contraction felt in the fingers, wrist and forearm after heavy smart phone use. 37 . So if you’re always on your phone, it ma kes sense to feel disfort in your hands and forearms.3. Eye Strain(疲劳)Do you stare at a screen for hours on end? If you’re reading this, you very well might suffer eye strain. 38 Staring at your digital devices for a long time can lead to dry eyes, headaches and tiredness, which can decrease your productivity. Experts suggest taking screen breaks every 20 minutes.4. Text NextSimilar to the claw, text neck—disfort in the neck and spine---happens when you spend a long time looking down at your smart phone. 39 . Being mindful of how far your neck bends when you’re on your phone---and bending it back to an upright position---can help reduce the risk of text neck.5.Pedestrian SafetyPedestrian deaths are on the rise because too many smart phone users engage in distracted walking. While focused on the cyber world, many of us can lose reality of the physical one. Elemental pedestrian safety knowledge is promised by technology, and the risks are scary. 40 .A. We should taking breaks for a walkB. The sensation results from a mismatch between sensory inputsC. Remember that pedestrian safety is more important than smart phoneD. The habit may lead to people requiring medical spine care at a younger ageE. To avoid injury or worse, put your phone away until you’ve reached a safe spotF. Any specific motor activity can cause pain in tendons（筋）and muscleswhen done repeatedlyG. Any activity that requires active use of your eyes—driving and reading included—can cause eye tiredness三、完形填空After college graduation, I did all kinds of work. Now I am a sales agent and visit my customers all over England. That was a cold February morning and I was 41 to visit a store at 9 am. I parked my car, bundled my scarf around me and 42 up the street towards his shop front.The street where his store was 43 was partially blocked by two large, ruddy faced workmen who were tearing up the concrete. I prepared myself for the 44 cat calls(起哄). I was up early, out in the cold, and probably to be seen as a funny scene by two men I didn’t even 45 .Then I stopped and 46 my own father. Both he and my grandfather had 47 much of their early careers working outside in similar jobs before they 48 and became engineers. I recalled how hard Dad worked, in all kinds of 49 ; how he’d e home with sunburn or frosting(冻伤). I realized that if I felt cold then these two guys were probably 50 , given that it looked as though they’d already been 51 for hours.My customer’s shop wasn’t open yet but I was beyond being annoyed at his 52 . I went to a coffee shop around the corner, 53 myself a hot chocolate, then two more with whipped cream. I made my 54 down the street towards the workmen. One of them turned to me with a wide smile and 55 me with a joke “Oh love, you shouldn’t have!” To his 56 , I passed him the tray with the two 57 chocolates. I replied, “Maybe not. 58 it’s too cold to be working outside today.”I got two looks of genuine(真诚的) 59 , and a timely reminder that it’s as easy to be 60 as it is to prejudge, but the former is so much nicer! So I realize the things we do seem so small but important and do what we can to make this world better.41. A. owing B. due C. used D. about42. A. wandered B. traveled C. stopped D. headed43. A. located B. served C. laid D. decorated44. A. cheering B. expected C. pleasant D. interesting45. A. see B. notice C. find D. know46. A. met B. called C. remembered D. asked47.

This makes the work feel less daunting and helps me to stay motivated.In addition, I like to take breaks throughout the dayto recharge my batteries. This might involve going for a walk, reading a book, or simply taking a nap. I find that taking breaks helps me to stay focused and productive inthe long run.Finally, I try to make time for activities that I enjoy, such as playing sports or spending time with friends.

She hesitated, uncertain how to classify herself.“What I mean is,” explained the recorder, “do you have a job, or are you just a …”“Of course I have a job,” said Emily. “I’m a mother.”“We don’t list ‘mother’ as an occupation… ‘housewife’ covers it,” said the recorder.One day I found myself in the same situation. The clerk was obviously a career woman, confident and possessed of a high sounding title. “What is your occupation?” she asked.The words simply popped out. “I’m a Research Associate in the field of Child Development and Human Relations.”The clerk paused, ballpoint pen frozen in midair.I repeated the title slowly, then I stared with wonder as my statement was written in bold, black ink on the official questionnaire.“Might I ask,” said the clerk with new interest, “Just what you do in this field?”Coolly, without any trace of panic in my voice, I heard myself reply, “I have a continuingprogram of research (what mother doesn’t), in the lab and in the field (normally I would have said indoors and out). Of course, the job is one of the most demanding in the humanities (any mother care to disagree?), and I often work 14 hours a day (24 is more like it). But the job is more challenging than most careers and rewards are more of a satisfaction rather than just money.”There was an increasing note of respect in the clerk’s voice as she completed the form, stood up, and showed me out.As I drove into our driveway, buoyed up (受鼓舞) by my glamorous new career, I was greeted by my lab assistants---ages 13, 7, and 3.Upstairs I could hear our new experimental model (a 6-month-old baby), in the child-development program, testing out a new vocal pattern.I felt proud! I had gone on the official records as someone more distinguished and indispensable (不可缺少的) to mankind than “just another mother.”Motherhood…What a glorious career! Especially when there’s a title on the door.36. What can we infer from the conversation between the woman and the recorder at thebeginning of the passage?A. The recorder was impatient and rude.B. The woman felt ashamed to admit what her job was.C. The author was upset about the situation that mothers faced.D. Motherhood was not recognized and respected as a job by society.37. Why did the woman clerk show more respect for the author?A. Because the author cared little about rewards.B. Because she thought the author did admirable work.C. Because she admired the author’s research work in the lab.D. Because the writer did something she had little knowledge of.38. What is the author’s purpose of writing the passage?A. To show how you describe your job affects your feelings toward it.B. To argue that motherhood is a worthy career and deserves respect.C. To show that the author had a grander job than Emily.D. To show that being a mother is hard and boring work.BA round of applause, please, for the Indian man who recently sang for 80 hours straight, setting a new Guinness world record. It’s an impressive feat, to be sure, but let’s just hope he still has a voice．According to Indian newspapers, Rajesh Burbure has been told to keep silent for several days so his vocal cords can heal.It was reported that Burbure and his family are in a celebratory mood. “It’s a proud moment for all of us,” his wife told .I, on the other hand, am unable to share their enthusiasm. Don’t get me wrong: I hope the 35-year-old Burbure lives forever, sells a million records and becomes an international celebrity. But his record—singing for 80 hours straight—is about as meaningful as most of the other curious but crazy feats listed in the Guinness Book of World Records.Granted, I’m not qualified to speak on the subject. I’ve got no world records to my name, and I never expect to have any. Then again, maybe I am qualified to speak for those of us who have better things to do than train for years to sing an 80-hour medley of pop songs.But let’s not just blame poor Burbure. He’s not the only person chasing meaningless reputation．The Guinness Book of World Records is full of the names of people who at one time grew the longest hair, or built the biggest bicycle, or baked the largest cheesecake.To all of these enterprising souls I ask, simply, “What was it all for?”Congratulations! For all of your painstaking effort, you became a footnote in a thick book that no one reads, except for you and the person who will eventually surpass you, with one more hour of singing, a few more centimeters of steel or a few more pounds of cheese.After all, records are made to be broken.39. From the text, we can conclude that the author _________.A. thinks singing for 80 hours straight is completely meaninglessB. feels it a pity he was not invited to share the happiness with the BurburesC. is quite worried about Burbure’s vocal cordsD. has no Guinness records, so he admires Burbures’ feat40. The author’s attitude to some Guinness world records is ________.A. positiveB. impressedC. negativeD. touched41. We can infer from the article that ________.A. after the 80 hours of singing, Burbure could no longer speakB. Burbure’s wife didn’t support his attempt to make a Guinness recordC. many have criticized Burbure for his stupid behaviorD. challenging a Guinness record may be harmful to the health42. What can possibly be the best title for the passage?A. What Was the PointB. The Boring Guinness BookC. A New Guinness RecordD. Records Are Made to be BrokenCYou know how wonderful you are, and you know that others know how wonderful you are, but what do you do when admiration crosses over the line into jealousy? For most teens there will come a day when you realize that one of your friends is jealous and that this jealousy is hurting your friendship. When this happens it can seem like there is nothing that you can do, but the good news is that there is. Don’t let jealousy spoil your relationships. Handle it head on and you might be back to normal much sooner than you think.It can be hard to walk up to a friend and ask them what the problem is, but if you want to save your friendship you’ll have to do just that. Don’t approach them and ask why they are jealous of you (unless of course you want to appear totally proud), just take some time alone with them and let them know that you’ve been feeling like there’s been something coming between you. If they refuse to respond, then use the opportunity to explain how you have been feeling. Chances are that something you say will strike a nerve and your friend will open up as well.When you figure out what is annoying your friend, ask him or her what (s)he thinks would make the situation better. If, for example, (s)he says that (s)he feels like (s)he doesn’t get to spend a ny time with you because of your being off with your new friends from the swim team, then maybe you could invite her along the next time or block off one day a week for just the two of you. Remember, though, that whatever solution you decide on should be a compromise(和解). Don’t limit your own talents or opportunities simply because your friend is unhappy. Try instead to include him or her in your new life and see how that works out.Even the best of friendships can be tinged(略带着) with jealousy. This destructive emotion is rarely productive and can turn best friends into worst enemies. Before taking extreme action, chat with your jealous friend to see if the two of you can work out a compromise. If you can’t, be prepared to know exactly how far you will go to keep your friend and how far you won’t.43. According to the author, the jealousy emotion is________.A. normalB. productiveC. destructiveD. extreme44. Which of the following in NOT mentioned as a way to confront your friend when jealously happens?A. Walking up to him/her and asking him/her why he/she is jealous of you.B. Walking up to him/her and asking him/her what the problem is.C. Spending some time with him/her and letting him/her know how you feel.D. Spending some time with him/her and letting him/her know you think there’s something between you.45. What can be inferred from the last two paragraphs?A. There’s always a solution to solve the problem of jealousy.B. Jealousy can turn best friends into worst enemies.C. You may lose a friend to keep your own gifts, chances or self development.D. You should go a long way with your friend to work out a solution46. The purpose of the passage is________.A. to explain what causes jealousyB. to offer some advice on making friendsC. to introduce ways to cope with a jealous friendD. to explain how destructive the jealous emotion isDA gentle breeze blew through Jennifer’s hair. The golden red sun was setting. She was on the beach, looking up at the fiery （火红的）ball. She was amazed by its color, deep red in the middle, softly fading into yellow. She could hear nothing but the waves and the seagulls flying up above in the sky.The atmosphere relaxed her. After all she had been through, this was what she need ed. “It’s getting late,” she thought, “I must go home. My parents will be wondering where I am.”She wondered how her parents would react, when she got home after the three days she was missing. She kept on walking, directing herself where she spent every summer holiday. The road was deserted. She walked slowly and silently. Just in a few hundred meters she would have been safe in her house.It was really getting dark now. The sun had set a few minutes before and it was getting cold, too. She wished she had her favorite sweater on— it kept her really warm. She imagined having it with her. This thought disappeared when she finally saw her front door. It seemed different. Nobody had taken care of the outside garden for a few days. She was shocked: her father was usually so strict about keeping everything clean and tidy, and now... It all seemed deserted. She couldn’t understand what was going on.She entered the house. First, she went into the kitchen where she saw a note written by her father. It said, “ Ellen, there is some coffee ready. I went looking.” Ellen was her mother but —where was she? On the right side of the hallway was her parents’ room. She went in. Then she saw her. Her mother, lying on the bed, was sleeping.

She felt that the easiest way out of any given situation was generally the best way out. And, for her, that generally meant telling a “little white lie”. As a young child I thought it was kind of cool. And, naturally, when I would come to her with a concern or questi on wondering what I should do, she generally advised me to lie.“Mom, I told Theresa that I would go over to her house, but now I would rather go to Sue's house to play.”“Tell Theresa you're sick，” she would advise. And generally I did. But I didn't seem blessed with her lack of conscience. On many painful occasions Theresa would find out that I really went to Sue's house without her. These occasions taught me that it is more painful to be caught in a lie than it is to tell the truth in the first place. I wondered how it was possible that my mother had never learned that lesson.I started thinking of all the lies that I'd heard her tell. I remembered the time she told someone that her favorite restaurant had closed, because she didn't want to see them there anymore. Or the time she told Dad that she loved the lawn¬mower he gave her for her birthday. Or when she claimed that our phone lines had been down when she was trying to explain why she hadn't been in touch with a friend of hers for weeks. And what bothered me even more were all the times she had involved me into her lies. Like the time she told my guidance counselor that I had to miss school for exploratory surgery , when she really needed me to babysit. And it even started to bother me when someone would call for her and she would ask me to tell them that she wasn't there.So, I started my own personal fight against her dishonesty. When I answered the phone and it was someone my mother didn't want to talk to, I said, “Louise, mom is here, but she doesn't want to talk to you.” The first time I did it, she punished me, but I refused to apologize.I told her that I had decided that it was wrong to lie. And the next time it happened I did the same thing. Finally, she approached me and said, “I agree that lying is not the best thing to do, but we need to find a way to be honest without being rude.” She admitted that her methods weren't right, and I admitted that mine were a bit too extreme.Over the past few years, the two of us have worked together to be honest—and yet kind. Honesty should mean more than not lying. It should mean speaking the truth in kindness. Though I started by trying to teach my mom the importance of honesty, I ended up gaining a deeper understanding of the meaning of the term.36. The author's mother ________.A. thought white lies were not liesB. helped the author get out of trouble with white liesC. told the author to lie when in troubleD. taught the author the importance of being honest37. The author ________.A. was thankful to her mother's adviceB. felt more awkward when being caught lyingC. found that telling the truth hurt more than telling a lieD. felt guilty when hurting people with her honesty38. It can be inferred that the author's mother ________.A. met her friends in the same restaurant regularlyB. didn't get along with the author's teachersC. was not popular among her friendsD. wanted to have something else for her birthday39. Finally the author and her mother agreed that ________.A. kind¬heartedness is more important than honestyB. appropriate methods are the key to telling a good lieC. honesty is defined as kindness as well as truthfulnessD. absolute honesty is basic to good interpersonal relationships。

I had tried everything my mother taught me about caring for houseplants—more light, less water, spraying, even replanting, but 36 seemed to work.I 37 Mom were here now. Mother’s Day was coming up, the second one since her death, and the pain of losing her was still so fresh. There is a Mother’s Day 38 I follow. One wears a red flower if one’s mother is 39 and a white one if she is not. I had hoped that planting a white gardenia, Mom’s favorite flower, would help me through the sorrow of her 40.Mom had a way with all things 41 . My sister and I always joked, “Mom could 42 a telephone pole grow leaves and bear fruit.”Why can’t I? I thought. Still, I couldn’t bear to throw the dead plant away. Instead, I placed it into a dark corner of our bathroom. I didn’t even water it. I just left it there 43 I could deal with it.My husband asked me if I was going to wear a white flower to church that Mother’s Day. “Yes,” I told him, “but I need a 44 gardenia.” I added silently.Sunday morning I woke up early to get dressed and made for the 45 .

At a stated time all the citizens would assemble at a town meeting, 48 they would discuss local problems and express opinions freely. They 49 elected the town’s officials at these gatherings and made decisions about the taxes they would pay and about other community matters. These meetings were usually 50 at the town hall, which was located in the central square.In the eighteenth-century town meetings, only men who owned property and who were church members actually voted, although 51 present was allowed to express their opinions. Later, 52 citizens were allowed to vote. Thus the town meeting became truly democratic. Town meetings are still common in New England communities.In recent years the town meeting idea has 53 widely copied. There are open sessions (会议)54 this kind on radio and television. Occasionally a meeting of this type is called by a government agency in 55 to give an opportunity for free and open discussion on current problems and policies.PART THREE READING COMPREHENSIONAThe first day of school our professor introduced himself and challenged us to get to know someone we didn’t know. I stood up to look around when a gentle hand touched my shoulder. I turned around to find a wrinkled, little old lady beaming up at me with a smile that lit up her entire being.She said, “Hi, girl! My name is Rose. I’m 87 years old. Can I give you a hug?”I laughed and enthusiastically responded, “Of course you may!” and she gave me a giant squeeze.“Why are you in college at such a young, innocent age?” I asked. She jokingly replied, “I’m here to meet a rich husband, get married, have a couple of children, and then retire and travel!”“No seriously,” I said. I was curious what may have motivated her to be taking on this challenge at her age.“I always dreamed of having a college education and now I’m getting one!” she told me.Over the course of the year, Rose became a campus icon (偶像) and she easily made friends wherever she went. She loved to dress up and she reveled in the attention bestowed (给予) upon her from the other students. She was living it up.At the end of the semester we invited Rose to speak at our football banquet. I’ll never forget what she taught us.“We do not stop playing because we are old; we grow old because we stop playing. There are only two secrets to staying young, being happy, and achieving success. You have to laugh and find humor every day. You’ve got to have a dream. When you lose your dreams, you die!” she said.“There is a huge difference between growing older and growing up. If you are nineteen years ol d and lie in bed for one full year and don’t do one productive thing, you will turn 20 years older. If I am 87 years old, and stay in bed for a year, and never do anything, I will turn 88. Anybody can grow older. But every minute counts for young men,” she added.“The idea is to grow up by always finding the opportunity in change. Have no regrets. The elderly usually don’t have regrets for what we did, but rather for things we did not do. The only people who fear death are those with regrets.”She concluded her speech by courageously singing “The Song of Rose”. She challenged each of us to study the lyrics（歌词）and live them out in our daily lives.At the year’s end, Rose finished the college degree she had begun all those years ago. One week after graduation Rose died peacefully in her sleep.56. Which of the following is the best title of the passage?A. Old friends and old wine are best.B. If you wish good advice, consult an old man.C. Never too old to live your dream.D. You cannot put old heads on young shoulders.57. Which of the following words has the closest meaning to the underlined “reveled in” in the passage?A. Enjoyed.B. Ignored.C. Disliked.D. Praised58. What does Rose want to express by saying “We do not stop playing because we are old; we grow old because we stop playing”?A. Though we are old, we don’t stop playing.B. If you stop playing, you won’t get old.C. Old people shouldn’t be playing any longer.D. Don’t stop playing, or you’ll bec ome old.59. From the passage we can see Rose went to college to ______.A. meet a rich husbandB. get better paidC. realize her dreamD. inspire young people60. In Rose’s opinion, growing up means ______.A. becoming olderB. learning more knowledgeC. becoming more mature C. trying new thingsBSep. 30 I moved into the dormitory today—an ugly building and near a busy main road too. My room is small but quite pleasant. I must get some posters for the walls, though. I met a few fellow students at supper (the food was awful!) They all look much younger than me. They are, of course!Oct. 07 Lectures began last Monday. So far they haven’t been very interesting (except for the man who lectures on drama. He’s first class). Personally, I’d much rather go to the library and read, but I have to attend ten lectures a week. Those are the ‘rules’! Well, at least you meet people there.Oct. 12 I really don’t like life in the dormitory at all. The food is bad and the students are noisy. They stay up half the night and play games just outside my room. When on earth do they sleep?When do they work? Besides, I don’t like my room. It’s just like living in a box! It looks even smaller now, with the posters on the wall. I am wondering how long it will be before I can feel as comfortable as I did living in my high school dormitory.Oct. 26 I tried to explain some of my problems to my supervisor today. She listened—but that was about all. ‘You have to go to lectures, you know, Ann,” she told me. “And the dormitory is cheap and convenient.’ ‘Cheap and convenient’! Well, it isn’t ‘cheap’ if you can’t eat the food and it isn’t ‘convenient’ if you can’t sleep at night!Oct. 30 I can’t believe it! Three other students—I met them at a lectur e and they’re all about my own age—have invited me to share a flat with them. It’s in an old house and it has its own kitchen, so we can cook for ourselves. And my room—right at the top of the house—is fantastic! Nov. 10 I moved into my new room last Sunday. I feel really happy. Life is going to be so much more fun from now on!61. The above writing is ______.A. diary entries of a high school student’s spring semesterB. diary entries of a high school student’s fall semesterC. diary entries of a college student’s spring semesterD. diary entries of a college student’s fall semester62. Which of the following is NOT the reason why the writer disliked the first dormitory?A. It was messy.B. It was small.C. It was noisy.D. The food was bad.63. Which of the following statements about the writer’s opinions about the teachers is RIGHT?A. She benefited a lot from the talk with the supervisor.B. She didn’t like any of the lectures thereC.

But researchers say, by the time they get to high school, they are victims of what the researchers call a major new gender (性别) gap in technology. Janice Weinman of the American Association of University Women (AAUW) says, "Girls tend to be less comfortable than boys with the computer. They use it more for word processing rather than for problem solving, rather than to discover new ways in which to understand information.After re-examining a thousand studies, the AAUW researchers found that girls make up only a small percentage of students in computer science classes. Girls rate themselves significantly lower than boys in their ability and confidence in using computers. And they use computers less often than boys outside the classroom.An instructor of a computer lab says he's already noticed some difference. Charles Cheadle of Cesar Chavez School says, "Boys are not so afraid they might do something that will harm the computer, whereas girls are afraid they might break it somehow."Six years ago, the software company Purple Moon noticed that girls' computer usage was fallingbehind boys. Karen Gould with the company says, "The number one reason girls told us they don't like computer games is not that they're too violent, or too competitive. Girls just said they're unbelievably boring." What girls want, Purple Moon found, is characters they can relate to and story lines relative to what's going on in their own lives. "What we definitely found from girls is that there is no intrinsic (内在的) reason why they wouldn't want to play on a computer; it was just a content thing," says Karen GouldThe sponsor of the study says it all boils down to this: the technology gender gap that separates the girls from the boys must be closed if women are to compete effectively with men in the 21st century. What has caused the new gender gap in technology?I. The present situation:Before high school: ◆Girls use computers 71 boys.In high school: ◆Girls make up 72 in computer science classes.◆Girls feel less comfortable with the computer.◆Boys use computers 73 often than girls after class.◆Boys feel more 74 when using computers.II. The 75 of the situation:What they do with a computer: ◆Girls prefer to use computers for _ 76 .◆Boys prefer to use computers for 77 and understandinginformation.How they feel about a computer: ◆Girls are afraid of breaking it.◆Boys are 78 such worry.Their 79 to computer games: ◆Girls think they are boring because the characters are irrelevant to their lives.◆Boys don’t have such feelings.III. The appeal from 80 : ◆The technology gender gap must be closed.SECTION BAnyone who has tried to learn Chinese can prove how hard it is to master the pitch (音调) required to speak and understand it. And anyone who has tried to learn to play the violin or other instruments can report similar challenges.Now researchers have found that people with musical training have an easier time learning Chinese.Writing in the online edition of Nature Neuroscience, researchers from Northwestern University say that both skills use parts of the brain that help people notice changes in pitch.One of the study’s authors, Nina Kraus, said the findings suggested that studying music “actually tunes our sensory (感官的) system.” This means that schools that want children to do well in languages should hesitate before cutting music programs, Dr. Kraus said. She said music training might also help children with language problems.Chinese speakers have been shown to have a more complex programming of pitch patterns in their brains than English speakers do. This is most probably because in Chinese and other Asian languages, pitch plays a central role. A single word can have several meanings depending on how it is pronounced.For this study, the researchers looked at 20 non-Chinese speaking volunteers, half with no musical background and half who had studied an instrument for at least six years.As they were shown a movie, the volunteers also heard an audiotape of the Chinese word “mi” in three of its meanings: squint (眯), bewilder (迷) and rice. The researchers recorded activity in their brain stems (脑干) to see how well they were processing the sounds.Those with a music background showed much more brain activity in response to the Chinese sounds.The lead author of the study, Patrick C. M. Wong, said it might work the other way round. It appears that native speakers of tonal (音调的) languages may do better at learning instruments, Dr. Wong said.81. Why is the arrangement of pitch patterns in Chinese speakers’ brains more complex? (No more than 8 words.)__________________________________________________________________________________ 82. How did the non-Chinese with no musical background react to the audiotape? (No more than 6 words.)__________________________________________________________________________________ 83.

I had tried everything my mother taught me about caring for houseplants—more light, less water, spraying, even replanting, but 36 seemed to work.I 37 Mom were here now. Mother’s Day was coming up, the second one since her death, and the pain of losing her was still so fresh. There is a Mother’s Day 38 I follow. One wears a red flower if one’s mother is 39 and a white one if she is not. I had hoped that planting a white gardenia, Mom’s favorite flower, would help me through the sorrow of her 40.Mom had a way with all things 41 . My sister and I always joked, “Mom could 42 a telephone pole grow leaves and bear fruit.”Why can’t I? I thought. Still, I couldn’t bear to throw the dead plant away. Instead, I placed it into a dark corner of our bathroom. I didn’t even water it. I just left it there 43 I could deal with it.My husband asked me if I was going to wear a white flower to church that Mother’s Day. “Yes,” I told him, “but I need a 44 gardenia.” I added silently.Sunday morning I woke up early to get dressed and made for the 45 . Still 46 , I walked to the bathroom. Suddenly I was woken up by a pleasant scent (香味). I pushed the door open and stepped into the bathroom. That morning I knew I would be ready to wear a small white flower for Mom. In that dark corner, 47 as if it had a light of its own, bloomed a perfect white gardenia!36．A．everything B．nothing C．anything D．something37．A．feel B．believe C．wish D．think38．A．way B．method C．habit D．tradition39．A．alive B．healthy C．dead D．ill40．A．passing B．getting C．giving D．dying41．A．white B．blue C．green D．yellow42．A．cause B．make C．use D．allow43．A．when B. until C．while D．if44．A．red B．plastic C．paper D．fresh45．A．market B．school C．church D．office46．A．excited B．angry C．happy D．sleepy47．A．bright B．dark C．large D．smallSECTION CFrom their beginnings New England towns had a special democratic (民主的) system of government. At a stated time all the citizens would assemble at a town meeting, 48 they would discuss local problems and express opinions freely. They 49 elected the town’s officials at these gatherings and made decisions about the taxes they would pay and about other community matters. These meetings were usually 50 at the town hall, which was located in the central square.In the eighteenth-century town meetings, only men who owned property and who were church members actually voted, although 51 present was allowed to express their opinions. Later, 52 citizens were allowed to vote. Thus the town meeting became truly democratic. Town meetings are still common in New England communities.In recent years the town meeting idea has 53 widely copied. There are open sessions (会议) 54 this kind on radio and television. Occasionally a meeting of this type is called by a government agency in 55 to give an opportunity for free and open discussion on current problems and policies.PART THREE READING COMPREHENSIONAThe first day of school our professor introduced himself and challenged us to get to know someone we didn’t know. I stood up to look around when a gentle hand touched my shoulder. I turned around to find a wrinkled, little old lady beaming up at me with a smile that lit up her entire being.She said, “Hi, girl! My name is Rose. I’m 87 years old. Can I give you a hug?”I laughed and enthusiastically responded, “Of course you may!” and she gave me a giant squeeze.“Why are you in college at such a young, innocent age?” I asked. She jokingly replied, “I’m here to meet a rich husband, get married, have a couple of children, and then retire and travel!”“No seriously,” I said. I was curious what may have motiv ated her to be taking on this challenge at her age.“I always dreamed of having a college education and now I’m gettingone!” she told me.Over the course of the year, Rose became a campus icon (偶像) and she easily made friends wherever she went. She loved to dress up and she reveled in the attention bestowed (给予) upon her from the other students. She was living it up.At the end of the semester we invited Rose to speak at our football banquet. I’ll never forget what she taught us.“We do not stop playing be cause we are old; we grow old because we stop playing. There are only two secrets to staying young, being happy, and achieving success. You have to laugh and find humor every day. You’ve got to have a dream. When you lose your dreams, you die!” she said.“There is a huge difference between growing older and growing up. If you are nineteen years old and lie in bed for one full year and don’t do one productive thing, you will turn 20 years older. If I am 87 years old, and stay in bed for a year, and never do anything, I will turn 88. Anybody can grow older. But every minute counts for young men,” she added.“The idea is to grow up by always finding the opportunity in change. Have no regrets. The elderly usually don’t have regrets for what we did, but rather for things we did not do. The only people who fear death are those with regrets.”She concluded her speech by courageously singing “The Song of Rose”. She challenged each of us to study the lyrics（歌词）and live them out in our daily lives.At the year’s end, R ose finished the college degree she had begun all those years ago. One week after graduation Rose died peacefully in her sleep.56. Which of the following is the best title of the passage?A. Old friends and old wine are best.B. If you wish good advice, consult an old man.C. Never too old to live your dream.D. You cannot put old heads on young shoulders.57. Which of the following words has the closest meaning to the underlined “reveled in” in thepassage?A. Enjoyed.B. Ignored.C. Disliked.D. Praised58. What does Rose want to express by saying “We do not stop playing because we are old; we grow old because we stop playing”?A. Though we are old, we don’t stop playing.B. If you stop playing, you won’t get old.C. Old people shouldn’t be playing any longer.D. Don’t stop playing, or you’ll become old.59. From the passage we can see Rose went to college to ______.A. meet a rich husbandB. get better paidC. realize her dreamD. inspire young people60. In Rose’s opinion, growing up means ______.A. becoming olderB. learning more knowledgeC. becoming more mature C. trying new thingsBSep. 30 I moved into the dormitory today—an ugly building and neara busy main road too. My roomis small but quite pleasant. I must get some posters for thewalls, though. I met a few fellow students at supper (the foodwas awful!) They all look much younger than me. They are, ofcourse!Oct. 07 Lectures began last Monday. So far they haven’t been very interesting (except for the manwho lectures on drama. He’s first class). Personally, I’d much rather go to the library and read, but I have to attend tenlectures a week. Those are the ‘rules’! We ll, at least you meet people there.Oct. 12 I really don’t like life in the dormitory at all. The food is bad and the students are noisy. Theystay up half the night and play games just outside my room. When on earth do they sleep? When do they work? Besi des, I don’t likemy room. It’s just like living in a box! It looks even smaller now, with the posters on the wall. I am wondering how long it will be before I can feel as comfortable as I did living in my high school dormitory.Oct. 26 I tried to explain some of my problems to my supervisor today.She listened—but that wasabout all. ‘You have to go to lectures, you know, Ann,” she told me. “And the dormitory is cheap and convenient.’ ‘Cheap and convenient’! Well, it isn’t ‘cheap’ if you can’t eat the f ood and it isn’t ‘convenient’ if you can’t sleep at night! Oct. 30 I can’t believe it! Three other students—I met them at a lecture and they’re all about my ownage—have invited me to share a flat with them. It’s in an old house and it has its own kitchen, so we can cook for ourselves.And my room—right at the top of the house—is fantastic! Nov. 10 I moved into my new room last Sunday. I feel really happy. Life is going to be so much morefun from now on!61.

But researchers say, by the time they get to high school, they are victims of what the researchers call a major new gender (性别) gap in technology. Janice Weinman of the American Association of University Women (AAUW) says, "Girls tend to be less comfortable than boys with the computer. They use it more for word processing rather than for problem solving, rather than to discover new ways in which to understand information.After re-examining a thousand studies, the AAUW researchers found that girls make up only a small percentage of students in computer science classes. Girls rate themselves significantly lower than boys in their ability and confidence in using computers. And they use computers less often than boys outside the classroom.An instructor of a computer lab says he's already noticed some difference. Charles Cheadle of Cesar Chavez School says, "Boys are not so afraid they might do something that will harm the computer, whereas girls are afraid they might break it somehow."Six years ago, the software company Purple Moon noticed that girls' computer usage was falling behind boys. Karen Gould with the company says, "The number one reason girls told us they don't like computer gamesis not that they're too violent, or too competitive. Girls just said they're unbelievably boring." What girls want, Purple Moon found, is characters they can relate to and story lines relative to what's going on in their own lives. "What we definitely found from girls is that there is no intrinsic (内在的) reason why they wouldn't want to play on a computer; it was just a content thing," says Karen GouldThe sponsor of the study says it all boils down to this: the technology gender gap that separates the girls from the boys must be closed if women are to compete effectively with men in the 21st century. What has caused the new gender gap in technology?I. The present situation:Before high school: ◆Girls use computers 71 boys.In high school: ◆Girls make up 72 in computer science classes.◆Girls feel less comfortable with the computer.◆Boys use computers 73 often than girls after class.◆Boys feel more 74 when using computers.II. The 75 of the situation:What they do with a computer: ◆Girls prefer to use computers for _ 76 .◆Boys prefer to use computers for 77 and understanding information.How they feel about a computer: ◆Girls are afraid of breaking it.◆Boys are 78 such worry. Their 79 to computer games: ◆Girls think they are boring because the characters are irrelevantto their lives.◆Boys don’t have such feelings.III. The appeal from 80 : ◆The technology gender gap must be closed. SECTION BAnyone who has tried to learn Chinese can prove how hard it is to master the pitch (音调) required to speak and understand it. And anyone who has tried to learn to play the violin or other instruments can report similar challenges.Now researchers have found that people with musical training have an easier time learning Chinese.Writing in the online edition of Nature Neuroscience, researchers from Northwestern University say that both skills use parts of the brain that help people notice changes in pitch.One of the study’s authors, Nina Kraus, said the findings suggested that studying music “actually tunes our sensory (感官的) system.” This means that schools that want children to do well in languages should hesitate before cutting music programs, Dr. Kraus said. She said music training might also help children with language problems.Chinese speakers have been shown to have a more complex programming of pitch patterns in their brains than English speakers do. This is mostprobably because in Chinese and other Asian languages, pitch plays a central role. A single word can have several meanings depending on how it is pronounced.For this study, the researchers looked at 20 non-Chinese speaking volunteers, half with no musical background and half who had studied an instrument for at least six years.As they were shown a movie, the volunteers also heard an audiotape of the Chinese word “mi” in three of its meanings: squint (眯), bewilder (迷) and rice. The researchers recorded activity in their brain stems (脑干) to see how well they were processing the sounds.Those with a music background showed much more brain activity in response to the Chinese sounds.The lead author of the study, Patrick C. M. Wong, said it might work the other way round. It appears that native speakers of tonal (音调的) languages may do better at learning instruments, Dr. Wong said.81. Why is the arrangement of pitch patterns in Chinese speakers’ brains more complex? (No more than 8 words.)___________________________________________________________________ _______________82. How did the non-Chinese with no musical background react to the audiotape? (No more than 6 words.)__________________________________________________________________________________83.

negativity.Basically,failure is no fun for most people.However,a vast body of research tells us that failure provides us with a chance to grow and develop,increases adaptability,and helps protect against anxiety.It's hard to change the mindset（心态）of a lifetime.But even if we still can't get over the broken marriage or the failed College Entrance Examination or the work presentation that went fearfully wrong,it might not be too late for our kids.Christy Pennison,a professional consultant,says she works with an increasing number of kids and teens who show significant anxiety around a fear of failure.She said,"We want to protect our children,and we want them to live happy and meaningful lives,so we frequently tell them the harm of failure and ask them to avoid failure.The children experiencing internal and sometimes extenal pressure think they shouldn't fail.Meanwhile,we always have high expectations of them.So when they don't live up to a certain standard,or things don't go according to the plans,they will feel upset and anxious."Pennison argues that failures,are often the hidden learning chances that can help people develop positive qualities,like persistence,focus,flexibility,patience,and positive self-image.So what can parents do to help their children embrace（拥抱）failure instead of avoiding it at all costs？Pennison suggests directing praise towards the effort,not the result."This allows children to build confidence in themselves,"she explains."Acknowledging the effort can give children permission to try new things without a fear of failure.And the bigger picture is that the development of the mindset-'I'd rather try and fail than not try at all.'-helps them keep a belief in themselves,and expands their world of possibilities."As Pennison points out,we all fail,but how we get up after we fail is what matters.44.What aspect do most people focus on when thinking of failure?A.The great courage to face it.B.The efforts made to handle it.C.Unexpected benefits it brings.D.Unpleasant side effects it brings.45.What does the author intend to do in Paragraph2?A.Bring up the main topic.B.List the challenges in our life.C.Add some background information.D.Stress the importance of the mindset46.What is mainly talked about in the third paragraph?A.The causes of children's anxiety.B.Christy Pennison's comments on adolescents.C.The consequences of overprotecting children.D.Christy Pennison's experience in educating children.47.Which of the following advice can help parents encourage kids to face failure?①Praise kids'every achievement.②Make kids embrace a bright mindset.③Focus on the process of kids'effort④Expand kids'knowledge about the world.⑤Encourage kids to make new attempts.A.①②④B.②③④C.②③⑤D.①③⑤CLast year，the Bureau of Labor Statistics reported that55million people in the U．S．are“gig workers”which is more than35percent of the U．S．workforce．That number is projected to jump to 43percent by2020．People are drawn to gig work(零工)because it brings in a little extra income without a major time commitment．And recent technologies like Skype，Slack，and Dropbox have made the gig life a reality，giving you maximum freedom，an ideal work-life balance，and the chance to pursue your passions．If you’re thinking of joining the gig economy，it’s never been easier．One of the great things about the gig economy is that you don’t have a boss breathing down your neck.As a freelancer，you no longer have to cater to a company culture or work schedule that might cause physical or emotionalstress．Instead，you get to choose the type of work you do and who you work with．But this degree of freedom requires a corresponding amount of discipline．With no boss to make sure you’re on task，it’s all on you．A1ot of gig workers start their careers by hopping on a project because the employer is desperate and in need of help．On the employer’s end，it’s tough to take on people for higher management positions when the pool of talent is full of gig workers who haven’t been given an opportunity to improve their skills．Businesses have to evolve to learn how to account for an influx((涌入)of temporary workers．It is harder for gig workers to become skilled and get promoted．The workforce is becoming more advanced and educated by the day．You have to keep learning and keep up with industry trends to maintain a competitive edge．This is true even for people in traditional office settings，but it's critical if you’re your own boss．48．What made the gig life a reality?A．Greater work-life balance．B．New technologies．C．A little extra money．D．Maximum freedom．49．What does the underlined phrase“breathing down your neck”，in Paragraph3mean? A．Making you unable to breathe freely．B．Standing very close behind you．C．Threatening you by saying something．D．Monitoring you closely．50．What can we infer from the last but one paragraph?A．Employers should invest in training the temporary workers．B．Gig workers start their jobs out of passion．C．It’s hard for employers to employ people for higher positions．D．It’s hard for gig workers to develop skills．51．Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A．The Strengths and Weaknesses of the Gig EconomyB．The Challenges of the Gig EconomyC．The Increase of the Gig EconomyD．The Reason for the Gig EconomyDThe different parts of a health care system have different focuses.A hospital's stroke（中风）unit monitors blood flow in the brain.The cardiac unit is interested in that same flow,but through and from the heart.Each collection of equipment and data is effective in its own field.Thus,like the story of blind men feeling an elephant,modern health care offers many separate pictures of a patient, but rarely a useful united one.On top of all this,the instruments that doctors use to monitor health are often expensive,as is the training required to use them.That combined cost is too high for the medical system to scan regularly,for early signs of illness,so patients are at risk of heart disease or a stroke.An unusual research project called AlzEye,run by Moorfields Eye Hospital in London,in cooperation with University College,London（UCL）,may change this.It is attempting to use the eye as a window through which signals about the health of other organs could be discovered.The doctors in charge of it,Siegfried Wagner and Pearse Keane,are studying Moorfields'database of eye scans, which offers a detailed picture of the health of the retina（视网膜）.The project will go a step further：With the information about other aspects of patients'health collected from other hospitals around England,doctors will be able to look for more accurate signs of disease through eye scans.The Moorfields data set has lots of linked cases to work with--far more than any similar project.

I had tried everything my mother taught me about caring for houseplants—more light, less water, spraying, even replanting, but 36 seemed to work.I 37 Mom were here now. Mother‘s Day was coming up, the second one since her death, and the pain of losing her was still so fresh. There is a Mother‘s Day 38 I follow. One wears a red flower if one‘s mother is 39 and a white one if she is not. I had hoped that planting a white gardenia, Mom‘s favorite flower, would help me through the sorrow of her 40.Mom had a way with all things 41 . My sister and I always joked, ―Mom could 42 a telephone pole grow leaves and bear fruit.‖Why can‘t I? I thought. Still, I couldn‘t bear to throw the dead plant away. Instead, I placed it into a dark corner of our bathroom. I didn‘t even water it. I just left it there 43 I could deal with it.My husband asked me if I was going to wear a white flower to church that Mother‘s Day. ―Yes,‖ I told him, ―but I need a 44 gardenia.‖ I added s ilently.Sunday morning I woke up early to get dressed and made for the 45 . Still 46 , I walked to the bathroom. Suddenly I was woken up by a pleasant scent (香味). I pushed the door open and stepped into the bathroom. That morning I knew I would be ready to wear a small white flower for Mom.

At a stated time all the citizens would assemble at a town meeting, 48 they would discuss local problems and express opinions freely. They 49 elected the town‘s off icials at these gatherings and made decisions about the taxes they would pay and about other community matters. These meetings were usually 50 at the town hall, which was located in the central square.In the eighteenth-century town meetings, only men who owned property and who were church members actually voted, although 51 present was allowed to express their opinions. Later, 52 citizens were allowed to vote. Thus the town meeting became truly democratic. Town meetings are stillcommon in New England communities.In recent years the town meeting idea has 53 widely copied. There are open sessions (会议) 54 this kind on radio and television. Occasionally a meeting of this type is called by a government agency in 55 to give an opportunity for free and open discussion on current problems and policies.PART THREE READING COMPREHENSIONAThe first day of school our professor introduced himself and challenged us to get to know someone we didn‘t know. I stood up to look around when a gentl e hand touched my shoulder. I turned around to find a wrinkled, little old lady beaming up at me with a smile that lit up her entire being.She said, ―Hi, girl! My name is Rose. I‘m 87 years old. Can I give you a hug?‖I laughed and enthusiastically respon ded, ―Of course you may!‖ and she gave me a giant squeeze.―Why are you in college at such a young, innocent age?‖ I asked. She jokingly replied, ―I‘m here to meet a rich husband, get married, have a couple of children, and then retire and travel!‖―No seriously,‖ I said. I was curious what may have motivated her to be taking on this challenge at her age.―I always dreamed of having a college education and now I‘m getting one!‖ she told me.Over the course of the year, Rose became a campus icon (偶像) and she easily made friends wherever she went. She loved to dress up and she reveled in the attention bestowed (给予) upon her from the other students. She was living it up.At the end of the semest er we invited Rose to speak at our football banquet. I‘ll never forget what she taught us.―We do not stop playing because we are old; we grow old because we stop playing. There are only two secrets to staying young, being happy, and achieving success. You have to laugh and find humor every day. You‘ve got to have a dream. When you lose your dreams, you die!‖ she said.―There is a huge difference between growing older and growing up. If you are nineteen years old and lie in bed for one full year and don‘t d o one productive thing, you will turn 20 years older. If I am 87 years old, and stay in bed for a year, and never do anything, I will turn 88. Anybody can grow older. But every minute counts for young men,‖ she added.―The idea is to grow up by always find ing the opportunity in change. Have no regrets. The elderly usually don‘t have regrets for what we did, but rather for things we did not do. The only people who fear death are those with regrets.‖She concluded her speech by courageously singing ―The Song of Rose‖. She challenged each of us to study the lyrics（歌词）and live them out in our daily lives.At the year‘s end, Rose finished the college degree she had begun all those years ago. One week after graduation Rose died peacefully in her sleep.56. Which of the following is the best title of the passage?A. Old friends and old wine are best.B. If you wish good advice, consult an old man.C. Never too old to live your dream.D. You cannot put old heads on young shoulders.57. Which of the f ollowing words has the closest meaning to the underlined ―reveled in‖ in the passage?A. Enjoyed.B. Ignored.C. Disliked.D. Praised58. What does Rose want to express by saying ―We do not stop playing because we are old; we grow old becau se we stop playing‖?A. Though we are old, we don‘t stop playing.B. If you stop playing, you won‘t get old.C. Old people shouldn‘t be playing any longer.D. Don‘t stop playing, or you‘ll become old.59. From the passage we can see Rose went to college to ______.A. meet a rich husbandB. get better paidC. realize her dreamD. inspire young people60. In Rose‘s opinion, growing up means ______.A. becoming olderB. learning more knowledgeC. becoming more mature C. trying new thingsBSep. 30 I moved into the dormitory today—an ugly building and near a busy main road too. My room is small but quite pleasant. I must get some posters for the walls, though. I met a few fellow students at supper (the food was awful!) They all look much younger than me. They are, of course!Oct. 07 Lectures began last Monday. So far they haven‘t been very interesting (except for the man who lectures on drama. He‘s first class). Personally, I‘d much rather go to the libra ry and read, but I have to attend ten lectures a week. Those are the ‗rules‘! Well, at least you meet people there.Oct. 12 I really don‘t like life in the dormitory at all. The food is bad and the students are noisy. They stay up half the night and play games just outside my room. When on earth do they sleep?When do they work? Besides, I don‘t like my room. It‘s just like living in a box! It looks even smaller now, with the posters on the wall. I am wondering how long it will be before I can feel as comfortable as I did living in my high school dormitory.Oct. 26 I tried to explain some of my problems to my supervisor today. She listened—but that was about all. ‗You have to go to lectures, you know, Ann,‖ she told me. ―And the dormitory is cheap and co nvenient.‘ ‗Cheap and convenient‘! Well, it isn‘t ‗cheap‘ if you can‘t eat the food and it isn‘t ‗convenient‘ if you can‘t sleep at night!Oct. 30 I can‘t believe it! Three other students—I met them at a lecture and they‘re all about my own age—have invit ed me to share a flat with them. It‘s in an old house and it has its own kitchen, so we can cook for ourselves. And my room—right at the top of the house—is fantastic! Nov. 10 I moved into my new room last Sunday. I feel really happy. Life is going to be so much more fun from now on!61.

But researchers say, by the time they get to high school, they are victims of what the researchers call a major new gender (性别) gap in technology. Janice Weinman of the American Association of University Women (AAUW) says, "Girls tend to be less comfortable than boys with the computer. They use it more for word processing rather than for problem solving, rather than to discover new ways in which to understand information.After re-examining a thousand studies, the AAUW researchers found that girls make up only a small percentage of students in computer science classes. Girls rate themselves significantly lower than boysin their ability and confidence in using computers. And they use computers less often than boys outside the classroom.An instructor of a computer lab says he's already noticed some difference. Charles Cheadle of Cesar Chavez School says, "Boys are not so afraid they might do something that will harm the computer, whereas girls are afraid they might break it somehow."Six years ago, the software company Purple Moon noticed that girls' computer usage was falling behind boys. Karen Gould with the company says, "The number one reason girls told us they don't like computer games is not that they're too violent, or too competitive. Girls just said they're unbelievably boring." What girls want, Purple Moon found, is characters they can relate to and story lines relative to what's going on in their own lives. "What we definitely found from girls is that there is no intrinsic (内在的) reason why they wouldn't want to play on a computer; it was just a content thing," says Karen GouldThe sponsor of the study says it all boils down to this: the technology gender gap that separates the girls from the boys must be closed if women are to compete effectively with men in the 21st century. What has caused the new gender gap in technology?I. The present situation:Before high school: ◆Girls use computers 71 boys.In high school: ◆Girls make up 72 in computer science classes.◆Girls feel less comfortable with the computer.◆Boys use computers 73 often than girls after class.◆Boys feel more 74 when using computers.II. The 75 of the situation:What they do with a computer: ◆Girls prefer to use computers for _ 76 .◆Boys prefer to use computers for 77 and understandinginformation.How they feel about a computer: ◆Girls are afraid of breaking it.◆Boys are 78 such worry.Their 79 to computer games: ◆Girls think they are boring because the characters are irrelevantto their lives.◆Boys don‘t have such feelings.III. The appeal from 80 : ◆The technology gender gap must be closed.SECTION BAnyone who has tried to learn Chinese can prove how hard it is to master the pitch (音调) required to speak and understand it. And anyone who has tried to learn to play the violin or other instruments can report similar challenges.Now researchers have found that people with musical training have an easier time learning Chinese.Writing in the online edition of Nature Neuroscience, researchers from Northwestern University say that both skills use parts of the brain that help people notice changes in pitch.One of the study‘s authors, Nina Kraus, said the findings suggested that studying music ―actually tunes our sensory (感官的) system.‖ This means that schools that want children to do well in languages should hesitate before cutting music programs, Dr. Kraus said. She said music training might also help children with language problems.Chinese speakers have been shown to have a more complex programming of pitch patterns in their brains than English speakers do. This is most probably because in Chinese and other Asian languages, pitch plays a central role. A single word can have several meanings depending on how it is pronounced. For this study, the researchers looked at 20 non-Chinese speaking volunteers, half with no musical background and half who had studied an instrument for at least six years.As they were shown a movie, the volunteers also heard an audiotape of the Chinese word ―mi‖ in three of its meanings: squint (眯), bewilder (迷) and rice. The researchers recorded activity in their brain stems (脑干) to see how well they were processing the sounds.Those with a music background showed much more brain activity in response to the Chinese sounds.The lead author of the study, Patrick C. M. Wong, said it might work the other way round. It appears that native speakers of tonal (音调的) languages may do better at learning instruments, Dr. Wong said.81.
