The world always makes way for the dreamer.When I was twelve years old, my father took me to see Zig Zigler. I remember sitting in that dark hall listening to Mr. Zigler 16 everyone’s spirits up to the ceiling, I 17 there feeling like I could do anything. When we got to the car, I turned to my father and said, “Dad, I want to 18 people feel like t hat.” My father asked me 19 I meant. “I want to be a motivational（激励人的）speaker just like Mr. Zigler,” I replied．A 20 was born.Recently, I began seeking my dream of motivating others. 21 a four-year relationship with Fortune 100 Company 22 as a sales-trainer and ending as a regional sales manager, I left the company at the height of my 23 . Many people were 24 that I would leave after earning a six-figure income. And they asked 25 I would risk everything for a dream.I made my 26 to start my own company and leave my secure（无忧虑的）position after27 a regional sales meeting. The vice-president of our company delivered a 28 that changedmy life. He asked us, “If a god would offer you three wishes, what would they be?” After giving us a 29 to write down the three wishes, he then asked us, “Why do you need a 30 ?” I would never forget the power I felt at that moment. I realized that 31 I had accomplished in the past had prepared me for this moment. I was ready and didn’t need a god’s help to become a motivational speaker. A motivational speaker was 32 .Having made that decision, I was immediately 33 . One week after I gave notice, my husband was laid off from his job, and now we had no 34 .

You can make your child feel angry, hurt, or misunderstood by what you say without realizing it yourself. It is important to give your child the space he needs to grow while making him realize that you’ll still be there for him when he needs you.Expect a lot from your child, just not everything. Except for health and safety problems, such as drug use or careless driving, consider everything else open to discussion. If your child is unwilling to discuss something, don’t insist he tell you what’s on his mind. The more you insist, the more likely that he’ll clam up. Instead, let him attempt to solve（解决）things by himself. Show respect for your teenager’s privacy（隐私）. Never read his mail or listen in on personal conversations.Teach your teenager that the family phone is for the whole family. If your child talks on the family’s telephone for too long, tell him he can talk for 15 minutes, but then he must stay off the phone for at least an equal period of time. This not only frees up the line so that other family members can make and receive calls, but teaches your teenager moderation（节制）. Or if you are open to the idea, allow your teenager his own phone that he pays for with his own pocket money or a part-time job.36. The main purpose of the text is to tell parents ___________.A. how to get along with a teenagerB. how to respect a teenagerC. how to understand a teenagerD. how to help a teenager grow up37. What does the phrase “clam up” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?A. become excitedB. show respectC. refuse to talkD. seek help38. What should parents do in raising a teenager according to the text?A. Not allow him to learn driving or take drugs.B. Give him advice only when necessary.C. Let him have his own telephone.D. Not talk about personal things with him.39. The last paragraph is about how to teach a teenager_________.A. to use the phone in a sensible wayB. to pay for his own telephoneC. to share the phone with friendsD. to answer the phone quicklyBI shall never forget the night, a few years ago, when Marion J. Douglas was a student in one of my adult-education classes. He told us how tragedy had struck at his home, not once, but twice. The first time he had lost his five-year-old daughter. He and his wife thought they couldn’t bear that first loss; but, as he said, “Ten months later, God gave us another little girl and she died in five days.”This double bereavement was almost too much to bear. “I couldn’t take it,” this father told us. “I couldn’t sleep, eat, rest or relax. My nerves were entirely shaken and my confidence gone.” At last he went to the doctors; one recommended sleeping pills and another recommended a trip, but neither helped. He said, “My body felt as if it was surrounded in a vice（大钳子）, and the jaws of the vice were being drawn tighter and tighter.” The tension o f grief（悲伤）— if you have ever been paralyzed （使瘫痪）by sorrow, you know what the meant.“But thank God, I had one child left —a four-year-old son. He gave me the solution to the problem. One afternoon as I sat around feeling sorry for myself, he asked, ‘Da ddy, will you build a boat for me?’ I was in no mood to build a boat; in fact, I was in no mood to do anything. But my son is a persistent fellow! I had to give in. Building that toy boat took me about three hours. By the time it was finished, I realized that those three hours spent building that boat were first hours of mental relaxation and peace that I had had in months! I realized that it is difficult to worry while you are busy doing something that requires planning and thinking. In my case, building the boat had knocked worry out of the ring. So I determined to keep busy.”“The following night, I made a list of jobs that ought to be done. Scores of items needed to be repaired. Amazingly, I had made a list of 242 items that needed attention. During the last two years I have completed most of them. I am busy now that I have no time for worry.”No time for worry! That is exactly what Winston Churchill said when he was working eighteen hours a day at the height of the war. When he was asked if he worried about his huge responsibilities, he said, “I am too busy. I have no time for worry.”40. The underlined word “bereavement” in the second paragraph refers to _____.A. having lost a loved oneB. having lost a valuable bookC. having lost a profit-making businessD. having lost a well-paid job41. Marion felt his body as if it was caught in a vice because _____.A. he couldn’t earn enough money to support his familyB. he was suffering from sleeplessness diseaseC. he couldn’t get out of mental pressure of losing his beloved onesD. he felt tired of adult-education classes42. Marion made a list of over 200 items that needed to be repaired because _____.A. he hadn’t been able to spare time to mend themB. he wanted to kill his free time by repairing themC. the items had actually been broken and needed attentionD. repairing the items helped crowd worry out of his mindCRemembering names is an important social skill．Here are some ways to master it．Recite and repeat in conversation．When you hear a person’s name，repeat it．Immediately say it to yourself several times without moving your lips．You could also repeat the name in a way that does not sound forced or artificial．Ask the other person to recite and repeat．You can let other people help you remember their names．After you’ve been introduced to someone，ask that person to spell the name and pronounce it correctly for you．Most people will be pleased by the effort yo u’re making to learn their names．Admit you don’t know．Admitting that you can’t remember someone’s name can actually make people relaxed．Most of them will feel sympathy if you say．“I’m working to remember names better．Yours is right on the tip of my tongue．What is it again?”Use associations．Link each person yon meet with one thing you find interesting or unusual．For example，you could make a mental note: "Vicki Cheng -- tall, black hair. " To reinforce you’re your associations, write them on a small card as soon as possible.Limit the number of new names you learn at one time.When meeting a group of people, concentrate on remembering just two or three names. Free yourself from remembering every one. Few of the people in mass introductions expect you to remember their names. Another way is to limit yourself to learning just first names. Last names can come later.Go early.Consider going early to conferences, parties and classes. Sometimes just a few people show up on time. That's fewer names for you to remember. And as more people arrive, you can hear them being introduced to others -- an automatic（自动的）review for you.43. How will most people feel when you try hard to remember their names?A. They will be moved.B. They will be annoyed.C. They will be delighted.D. They will be discouraged.44. If you can't remember someone's name, you may __A. tell him the truthB. tell him a white lieC. ask him for pityD. ask others to help you45. When you meet a group of people, it is better to remember __A. all their namesB. a couple of names firstC. just their last namesD. as many names as possible46. What does the text mainly tell us?A. Tips on an important social skill.B. Importance of attending parties.C. How to make use of associations.D. How to repeat names.DAfter ruling the tennis world for almost five years, Roger Federer is adjusting to life at NO.2. But, like any king whose throne（王冠）has been taken away, the Swiss star is already planning secretly his return to power, beginning at this week’s US Open.The problem is, many experts think he will never do it. They blame everything from age and tough competition to his racket（球拍）and psychology.For years Federer, 27, had enjoyed the view from the top. Competitors saw him as undefeated, and for the most part he was. However, before the 2008 season began, Federer had an illness that stole his strength and clearly affected his play on the court. Ever since, he has struggled to return to form, winning just two of his last 14 tournaments.“Twenty-seven is an age when your body starts talking back to you.” tennis great John McEnroe told the New York Times.Pancho Sefura, another tennis great, noted that Federer is also facing a maturing crop of young talents. “There are too many great players now,” he said, naming Britain’s Andy Murray, 21, and Latvia’s Ernests Gulbis, 20.US magazine Sports Illustrated tennis columnist Jon Wertheim suggested that part of Fede rer’s problem could be his insistence on using a small racket. He says that the smaller head demands ball control. But we see time and again that racket makers try to get players to use a certain stick — one they would like to market to consumers and it has a negative effect the professional game.Sports psychologist Jim Loehr told the Times that Federer is probably feeling “a sense of doubt” after being considered as undefeated for so long. If Federer is to recover his state of being undefeated, Loehr said he must overcome his doubt. “Federer doesn’t need fame and money. But he has to get better. He has to go to a whole new level. That’s the only way he stays in the game,” he said.As for beginning his first Grand Slam（大满贯）in ages as the NO.2 seed, Federer said it might be for the best. “Five years almost, I was expected to win every tournament I entered,” he said, “so maybe Rafael Nadal now feels what I had to feel for a very long time. It will be interesting to see how he handles it.”47. What does the und erlined sentence “your body starts talking back to you” in Para.4 mean?A. Your body often argues with you.B. You can do whatever you want.C. Your strength is beginning to decline（衰退）.D. You are more easily to have quite terrible diseases.48. From the passage, we know the main reason why Federer’s throne was taken away is that _____.A. he is becoming older and older.B. he insisted on using a small racket.C. he is facing a maturing crop of young talents.D. he had an illness that stole his strength.49. What can be inferred from the passage?A. Now it is Nadal who has replaced Federer as the No.1tennis player.B. the racket makers aim at the players’ better performance in games.C. It is impossible for Federer to return to power.D. Federer has never won a Grand Slam before.50. What’s the best title of the passage?A. Nadal — The No.1 Tennis PlayerB. Federer — Always UndefeatedC. State of Mind Plays a Important RoleD. Federer Hopes to Recover His Magic（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。

Every day for approximately two weeks, I see those beautiful flowers.This spring, I started a wildflower garden in our yard. I can look out of the 38 window while doing the dishes and see the flowers. I’ve often thought that those lovely blue flowers from the ditch would 39 great in that bed alongside other wildflowers.

The main reason is the number and variety of jobs available. The economies of many nations are based 49 on manufacturing（制造业）. Most manufacturing takes place in and near cities, and so most of the jobs are there. Cities 50 offer cultural and recreation（娱乐）activities. City residents（居民）need not travel 51 to go to art galleries, museums, and concerts. They can shop in nearby stores 52 sell thousands of products and borrow books from huge public libraries. 53 can also conveniently attend motion pictures, plays, and sports events. Many people choose to live in or near a city simply because they like the rapid pace of city life. Perhaps these same people complain about the crowds, dirt, and noise in a city, 54 they like the hustling（忙碌喧闹）activity that makes city life so different from rural life. 55 many people prefer to live in or near cities.PART THREE READING COMPREHENSIONDirections: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage.（30分，每小题2分）AFile-sharing occurs whenever one individual sends a file to another. The only way to even try to limit this process is to monitor all communication between ordinary people. Despite the crackdown on Napster, Kazaa and other peer-to-peer（对等网络）services over the past decade, the volume of file-sharing has grown exponentially. Even if the authorities closed down all other possibilities, people could still send copyrighted files as attachments to e-mails or through private networks. If people start doing that, should we give the government the right to monitor all mail and all encrypted（加密）networks? Whenever there are ways of communicating in private, they will be used to share copyrighted material. If you want to stop people doing this, you must remove the right to communicate in private. There is no other option. Society has to make a choice.The world is at a crossroads. The internet and new information technologies are so powerful that no matter what we do, society will change. But the direction has not been decided.The internet is still in its infancy, but already we see fantastic things appearing as if by magic. Take Linux, the free computer operating system, or Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. But where technology opens up new possibilities, our intellectual property laws do their best to restrict them. Linux is held back by patents, the rest of the examples by copyright. The public increasingly recognizes the need for reform.Our manifesto（声明）is to reform copyright laws and gradually abolish（废除）the patent system. We oppose mass surveillance（监视）and censorship（审查制度）on the net, as in the rest of society. We intend to devote all our time and energy to protecting the basal civil liberties on the net and elsewhere.Political decisions taken over the next five years are likely to set the course we take into the information society, and will affect the lives of millions for many years into the future. The information revolution is happening here and now. It is up to us to decide what future we want.56. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?A. Over the past decade, the volume of file-sharing has increased doubly.B. Over the past decade, other peer-to-peer（对等网络）services have been beaten down.C. Copyright laws should be reformed.D. File-sharing occurs unless a file is sent on the Internet.57. In the opinion of the writer, the government ________.A. has to make a choiceB. should stop people sharing the copyrighted filesC. shouldn’t stop people sharing the copyrighted filesD. should monitor all the mail and all encrypted（加密）networks58. The author’s main purpose in writing the passage is___.A. to have the basal citizen’s freedom on the net and elsewhereB. to establish the patent systemC. to abolish copyright lawsD. to reform computer operating system59. The underlined word ―restrict‖ in Paragraph 3 most probably means___.A. removeB. limitC. closeD. reform60. We can infer from the passage____.A. A new information revolution will be coming.B. People won’t share copyrighted material on the netC. People can share the free encyclopediaD. The future of the Internet will rely on the governmentBHappiness is geneticHAPPINESS and sadness are states of being that define the way we view the world. It is often said that some people by nature have a sunny disposition（性格）. Now scientists may have discovered why.Some people may be hard-wired（天生的）for happiness, while others are genetically negative, scientists have suggested in a study published late February, in British journal Proceedings of the Royal Society B（《皇家学会学报B》）.Earlier research had already established that the gene known as 5-HTTLPR plays a key role in determining how the neurotransmitter（神经传递素）serotonin（含于血液中的复合胺）works within the brain. Serotonin, a hormone（荷尔蒙）, passes chemical messages between nerve cells. It has been closely linked to mood. Several anti-depressant（抗抑郁）drugs regulate serotonin levels.Scientists had also identified three variants（变体）of the gene. Two so-called "short" variants were linked to a higher risk of depression and suicide（自杀）attempts. Unlike the two "short" variants, the "long" variant of 5-HTTLPR showed a clear dislike of negative images（图像）, such as fierce animals, and a clear liking for positive ones, such as flowers.Researchers from the University of Essex in Britain, led by Elaine Fox, showed participants a series of images.The images were divided into three kinds: negative ones aimed at inspiring fear or stress such as a spider or person about to commit suicide, pleasant ones and neutral（中性的）ones.The participants who had the long variant of the 5-HTTLPR gene "showed a clear dislike of negative material alongside a careful attention for positive material," the researchers found. They paid close attention to the pretty pictures, and ignored the frightening ones. On the other hand, the short variant groups had the opposite reaction.In January, the Australian government organized "happiness workshops", teachinggovernment staff how to be happy. The department that held the "happiness workshops" said unhappy staff weren’t productive staff.Australian political opposition parties have argued that the "happiness workshops" are probably a waste of money and couldn’t increase productivity as intended. However, whether the workshop will have a happy or disappointing result, we will have to wait and see.61. What is the main idea of the passage?A. The Australian government wants its government staff to be happy.B. The reason why certain people have a sunny disposition has been discovered.C. Scientists have discovered several anti-depressant drugs to control moods.D. Scientists have found different variants of 5-HTTLPR exist in the same person.62. From the third paragraph, we know that ______.A. affected by 5-HTTLPR, the neurotransmitter serotonin works within the bloodB. there are 5 variants of 5-HTTLPR genes which control people’s moodsC. how the neurotransmitter serotonin works is greatly determined by 5-HTTLPRD. 5-HTTLPR receives chemical messages from nerve cells63. What does ―It‖ in the sentence "It has been closely linked to mood." in the 3rd paragraph refer to?A. SerotoninB. A nerve cellC. 5-HTTLPRD. The brain64. If a person had the long variant of 5-HTTLPR, he or she would probably ______.A. like the images of spidersB. prefer the images of crocodilesC. enjoy an image of green treesD. suffer from depression very often65. What can we infer from the passage?A. People’s moods can change a little bit under the influence of certain drugs.B. Researchers showed participants of the research two kinds of images.C. A person may possess one long and one short variant of 5-HTTLPR at the same time.D. The author firmly believes that "happiness workshops" will not change people’s moods.CWhat should you think about in trying to find your career? You are probably better at some school subjects than others. These may show strengths that you can use in your work. A boy who is good at mathematics can use that in an engineering career. A girl who spells well and likesEnglish may be good at office work. So it is important to do well at school. On the other hand, you may not have any specially strong or weak subjects but your records show a general satisfactory standard. Although not all subjects can be used directly in a job, they may have indirect value. Knowledge of history is not required for most jobs but if history is one of your good subjects you will have learned to remember facts and details. This is an ability that can be useful in many jobs.Your school may have taught you skills, such as typing or technical drawing, which you can use in your work. You may be good at metal work or cookery and look for a job where you can improve these skills.If you have had a part-time job on Saturdays or in the summer, think what you gained from it. If nothing else, you may have learned how to get to work on time, to follow instructions and to get on with older workers. You may have learned to give correct change in a shop, for example. Just as important, you may become interested in a particular industry or career you see from the inside in a part-time job.Facing your weak points is also part of knowing yourself. You may be all thumbs when you handle tools. Perhaps you are a poor speller or cannot add up a column of figures. It is bitter to face any weaknesses than to pretend they do not exist. Your school record, for instance, may not be too good, yet it is an important part of your background. You should not be apologetic about it but instead recognize that you will have a chance of a fresh start at work.66. We can infer from the first paragraph that______.A. learning better at school shows power in your jobB. the better you are at school subjects, the more helpful they are in your careerC. learning each subject well is an ability in many jobsD. we should think about how to find our career67. According to the passage, if a student’s school record is not good, he will _____.A. have no hope in his future workB. be hopeful to find a suitable jobC. regret not having worked harder at schoolD. have an opportunity of a new beginning in his future work68. All the subjects may have direct value for job hunting except______.A. mathematicsB. EnglishC. historyD. technical drawing69. The underlined words "all thumbs" in Paragraph 4 most probably mean______.A. heavy-handedB. the bestC. importantD. skilled70. The passage mainly discusses ______.A. the relationship between school performance and careerB. how to get a jobC. how to show strengths in your workD. working experience and knowledge at schoolPART FOUR WRITINGSECTION A（10分，每小题1分）Directions: Read the following passage. Complete the diagram by using the information from the passage. Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer.In addition to self-awareness, imagination, and conscience, it is the fourth quality —independent will — that really makes effective self-management possible. It is the ability to make decisions and choices and to act in agreement with them. It is the ability to act rather than to be acted upon, to actively carry out the program we have developed through the other three qualities.The human will is an amazing thing. Time after time, it has overcome unbelievable difficulties. The Helen Kellers of this world give dramatic（给人深刻印象的）evidence to the value, the power of the independent will.But as we examine this quality in the context of effective self-management, we realize it’s usually not the dramatic, the visible, the once-in-a-lifetime, up-by-the-bootstraps（自立自强的）effort that brings lasting success. This special ability comes from learning how to use this great quality in the decisions we make every day.The degree to which we have developed our independent will in our everyday lives is measured by our personal honesty. Honesty is, fundamentally, the value we place on ourselves. It’s our ability to make and keep promises to ourselves, to ―walk our talk.‖Effective management is putting first things first. While leadership decid es what ―first things‖ are, it is management that puts them first, day-by-day, moment-by-moment. Management is discipline（training to be self-controlled）, carrying it out.Discipline obtains from belief—belief in a set of values, belief in an overriding（最主要的）purpose, to a long-term or short term goal that must be carried out.In other words, if you are an effective manager of yourself, your discipline comes fromwithin; it is a function of your independent will. You are a follower of your own deep values and their source. And you have the will, the quality to control your feelings and moods rather than depend on others or have your work half done.Title （71）Theme Independent will（72）Reasons ●The example（73）is amazing.●Power of independent will helps to（74）every day.●Honesty is very important to develop our independent will.●It’s our ability to have our promises（75）.Suggestions●Effective managers should know（76）first.●Effective managers with discipline should（77）their promises. （78）●You（79）your deep values.●Your（80）are able to be controlled.SECTION B （10分，81、82每题2分；83、84每题3分）Directions: Read the following passage. Answer the questions according to the information given in the passage and the required words limit. Write your answers on your answer sheet.New findings are against some of the sillier things that policymakers say about the possible influence of migrants（移民）on a country’s overall achievements. ―When we started to do the PISA（Program for International Student Assessment）ranking in 2008, many countries were shocked at how badly they did,‖ says Mr Schleicher, ―and excuses we often heard were: we get too many migrants, or we get the wrong sort of migrants.‖Although immigrant children typically do worse at school than locals, there is no country-wide effect. The OECD’s（the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development）analyses show an insignificant correlation of the number of immigrant children a country has and the average pupil’s achievement —and it is countries with more immigrant children that do slightly better.As well as testing children on what they know, PISA also asks them how motivated they are: whether they think they will need the subject in question（most recently, science）for their future,and whether they like to study it for its own sake. In most countries, first-generation immigrant students are more motivated than the second-generation immigrant ones, who are in turn more motivated than the children of the native-born. Germany is a striking exception: new immigrants turn up with the usual ambitions and dreams, but at the age of 15 their children have already given up hope.That suggests that any country that figures out how to let incomers shine will receive big benefits. Immigrants, however poor, are a self-selected bunch of ambitious and hard-working people, and their children usually know that, lacking the informal networks that let locals get ahead, they must study hard to succeed. Their varying fates show that although what happens outside the school gate is important, what happens in classroom is too.81.
