When you choose to be a victim，the world is a cold and difficult place. “They〞did things to you which caused all of your pain and suffering. “They〞are wrong and bad，and life is terrible as long as“they〞are around. Or you may blame yourself for all your problems，thus internalizing(内化) your victimization. The truth is，your life is likely to stay that way as long as you feel a need to blame yourself or others.Those who choose to be creators look at life quite differently. They know there are individuals who might like to control their lives，but they don’t let this get in the way. They know they have their weaknesses，yet they don’t blame themselves when they fail. Whatever happens，they have choice in the matter. They believe their dance with each sacred(神圣的) moment of life is a gift and that storms are a natural part of life which can bring the rain needed for emotional and spiritual growth.Victims and creators live in the same physical world and deal with many of the same physical realities，yet their experience of life is worlds apart. Victims relish(沉溺) in anger，guilt，and other emotions that cause others—and even themselves—to feel like victims，too. Creators consciously choose love，inspiration，and other qualities which inspire not only themselves，but all around them. Both victims and creators always have choice to determine the direction of their lives.In reality，all of us play the victim or the creator at various points in our lives. One person，on losing a job or a special relationship，may feel as if it is the end of the world and sink into terrible suffering for months，years，or even a lifetime. Another with the same experience may choose to first experience the grief，then accept the loss and soon move on to be a powerful creative force in his life.In every moment and every circumstance，you can choose to have a fuller，richer life by setting a clear intention to transform the victim within，and by inviting into your life the powerful creator that you are.36. What does the word “they〞in Paragraph 1 probably refer to？A. People and things around you.B. Opportunities and problems.C. Creators and their choices.D. Victims and their sufferings.37. According to Paragraph 2，creators ________ .A. seem willing to experience failures in lifeB. possess the ability to predict future lifeC. handle ups and downs of life wiselyD. have potential to create something new38. What can we learn from Paragraph 3？A. Creators and victims face quite different things in life.B. Creators and victims are masters of their lives.C. Victims can influence more people than creators.D. Compared with victims，creators are more emotional.39. The examples mentioned in Paragraph 4 show that__________ .A. strong attachment to sufferings in life pulls people into victimsB. people need family support to deal with challenges in lifeC. it takes creators quite a long time to get rid of their painsD. one’s experiences determine his attitude toward life40. What is the author’s purpose in writing this passage？A. To define victims and creators.B. To evaluate victims against creators.C. To explain the relationship between victims and creators.D. To suggest the transformation from victims to creators.BWhat makes a person a scientist？Does he have ways or tools of learning that are different from those of others？The answer is no. It is not the tools a scientist uses but how he uses these tools that makes him a scientist.You will probably agree that knowing how to use a power saw is important to a carpenter. You will probably agree，too，that knowing how to investigate，how to discover information，is important to everyone. The scientist，however，goes one step further—he must be sure that he has a reasonable answer to his question and that his answer can be confirmed by other persons. As for the knowledge of a scientist，there is no room for half right or right just half the time. He must be as nearly right as the conditions permit. What works under one set of conditions at one time must work under the same condition at other times.If the conditions are different，any changes the scientist observes in a demonstration must beexplained by the changes in the conditions. This is one reason that investigations are important in science. Albert Einstein，who developed the theory of relativity，arrived at this theory through mathematics. The accuracy of his mathematics was later tested through investigation. Einstein’s ideas were shown to be correct. A scientist uses many tools for measurement. Then the measurements are used to make mathematical calculations that may test his investigation.41. What makes a person a scientist according to the passage？A. The tools he uses.B. The way he uses his tools.C. The different ways of learning.D. The various tools he makes.42. In Paragraph 2，what is mainly meant by the author？A. The importance of information.B. The importance of thinking.C. The difference between scientists and ordinary people.D. The difference between carpenters and ordinary people.43. The third paragraph seems to emphasize a scientist’s knowledge should be _______.A. exactB. usefulC. rightD. practical44. Albert Einstein worked out his theory of relativity _______.A. through investigationB. experimentallyC. through testsD. mathematicallyCIn Asia，there are special competitions where kites have complex designs and are fitted with instruments that make musical sounds as the wind blows through them. Although all kites have a similar structure (构造)，they are widely different in size and shape. Kite-fighting competitions are also held，in which competitors use their kites to attack and bring down their opponents’(对手)kites or cut their strings(线).For more than 15 years，the Big Wind Kite Factory has been giving kite-making andkite-flying classes for the children on an island in Hawaii. In its kite-making lessons，students can make kites in as little as 20 minutes！Children as young as four years old can learn how to fly a kite. Jonathan Socher and his wife Daphne started the kite factory in 1980.Their kites are made of nylon(尼龙).Their designs are Hawaiian themes created by Daphne. The designs are cut out of the nylon with a hot knife that seals the edges and then fastened directly onto the kite.The kite that is used to give lessons is a regular diamond kite with a rainbow pattern. The difference between this kite and the ones they make during the lessons is that it is a two-string controllable kite. Big Wind employees fly the kite and for a few minutes show students how pulling on one line and then on the other controls the direction the kite goes in. Then the controls are given to the students.Jonathan insists that it is not necessary to make a huge impressive kite to have fun making and flying kites. Even the simplest structure can work，and can give hours of fun. Go on，give ita try！45. Which of the following is true according to the text？A. A hot knife is used to iron the nylon.B. Children never fly kites on their own in flying lessons.C. Kite strings must not be cut in kite-fighting competitions.D. Daphne designs kites for the Big Wind Kite Factory.46. What is different about the kite used for flying lessons？A. It has two strings.B. It is simple in design.C. It has a rainbow pattern.D. It is shaped like a diamond.47. According to Jonathan，what do you need to have fun with kites？A. A large kite.B. Any type of kite.C. A complex structure.D. A kite that impresses others.DAll plant cells are capable of taking up water. Even dead ones do to a certain degree.Absorption of water by dead cell walls makes wood become larger. In common land plants，the living cells of roots take in most of the water. Land plants without roots do exist，however. Those greenish-yellow lichens(苔藓)you see on rocks in the high mountains have no roots. Half a billion years ago，when water plants started to enter the land，the first land plants did not have roots.Even among the flowering plants，one finds rootless forms. These flowering plants are “the higher plants〞because they evolved(进化)recently and are thus considered higher on the evolutionary scale(进化树). In the Peruvian desert，there grows one of these root-less higher plants，a bromeliad. It is a relative of the pineapple. Even if this plant had roots，they would be of no use，because where the plant grows，it never rains. The plant gets its water only from the dew(露水)it collects at night，when its leaves cool off. Such rootless plants，of course，can be moved with ease，but they will only grow when they are placed out in the open. If they are placed too near a house，the radiation from the heat of the house prevents the leaves from cooling and dew from forming，and the plant dies. In the southern United States and in Puerto Rico，one sees bromeliads growing high above the streets on the insulation(绝缘物)of electric wires. These plants get their water from rain，and the only soil they ever come in contact with is the dust that may blow on their leaves.48. Wood becomes larger because of _______.A. dead cell wallsB. water entering dead cellsC. the growth of cellsD. the death of cells49. From the passage we know that the evolutionary scale is graded according to _______.A. evolutionary cyclesB. heights and depthsC. timeD. kinds50. The “bromeliad〞is a plant that _______.A. has useless rootsB. is a pineappleC. can grow anywhereD. takes in water through its leavesⅣ. 任务型阅读(共10小题；每题1分，总分值10分)阅读下面短文，根据所读内容在表格中的空白处填入恰当的单词。

their own.Poland has its folks.Hungary has its czardas.Argentina is famous for the tango.The U.S.A.is known for jazz，the type of music that has gained worldwide popularity.Jazz is an American contribution to popular music.While classical music follows formal European tradition，jazz is rather a free form.It is full of energy，expressing，the moods，interests，and emotions of the people.It is breaking and exciting with a modern sound.In the 1920s jazz sounded like America.And so it does today.The origins of the music are as interesting as the music itself.Jazz was invented by American Negroes，or blacks，as they are called today，who were brought to the southern states as slaves.They were sold to farm owners and forced to work long hours in the cotton and tobacco fields.This work was hard and life was short.When a Negro died his friends and relatives would gather and carry the body to have a ceremony before they buried him.There was always a band with them.On the way to the ceremony the band played slowly，solemn music suitable for the situation.But on the way home the mood changed.Spirits lifted.Everyone was happy.Death had removed one of their members，but the living were glad to be alive.The band played happy music.This music made everyone want to dance.It was an early form of jazz.Music has always been important in Negro life.The black，who were brought to America from West Africa，had a rich musical tradition.In the fields，they made up work songs.Singing made the hard work go faster.And when they got to Christianity，they made lovely spirituals，which have become an everlasting part of American music.1.From the passage，we can see that jazz________.A.is a kind of African musicB.started from Africa but is popular in AmericaC.was started by blacks working in AfricaD.was started by blacks in America2.Jazz is a kind of music________.A.almost the same as classical musicB.quite different from classical musicC.popular only in AmericaD.quite
