One day, as I was passing the elephants, I suddenly stopped, 21 by the fact that these huge creatures were being held by only a small rope tied to their front leg. It was 22 that they could, at any time, break free, 23 strangely enough, they didn’t. I asked a trainer the 24 for this.He said, “When they were very young we used the 25 size rope, and it was enough to hold them. As they grow up, theybelieve the rope can 26 hold them, so they never try.”Like the elephants, how many of you believe you cannot do a thing, simply because you 27 once before？Do you often tell 28 “I cannot dance”or “I’m not good at math”？These are 29 of self limiting beliefs.You must realize you’re 30 for them. A limiting belief that saysyou’re poor at math may have 31 as a reaction to the embarrassing experiences related to math, or the remarks made by someone important to you which 32 you.The cool thing is that because you create the 33 you can choose to change it！Here is how:First, 34 it with “I am good at math”. Once you change your 35 , your subconsciousness (潜意识) will make this come true by driving you to 36 . That might be to take a math course or to go online 37 help, etc.Gradually you’ll really see your math skills are 38 .This is such a simple process that you can 39 it today. Don’t be like the poor elephants and make your life 40 at a place because of a limiting belief you developed years ago.21. A.excited B.confusedC.discouragedD.worried22.

This voyage changed his life.He decided to stay when Columbus returned. Ponce was named governor of Puerto Rico (then called Boriquien) in 1508. While there, he heard many stories of a magical water source. People called it the Fountain of Youth and said that drinking its water kept you young.For the next few years, Ponce tried to find out where the Fountain of Youth was. He asked permission from Spain's King Charles V to go in search of it. The king consented, as long as Ponce paid for the ships and crew himself.The young explorer did so readily, and they set off. It was March 1513. They sailed for days but didn't see the fountain. On March 27, he came within sight of the Florida coast. On April 2, he landed at what he named St. Augustine. This was the first Spanish settlement on the mainland of North America.He had several adventures along the way. He did not, however, find the Fountain of Youth. He returned to Boriquien.He continued to govern tile island, and he continued to hear stories of the Fountain of Youth. Finally, in 1521, he set out again.This time, he landed on the Florida coast again. While he and his men were building houses for a new settlement, they were attacked by native tribesmen（部落成员）. Many of his men died, but Ponce escaped, although he was injured. He reached Cuba and entered a hospital, where he died of wounds from the attack in Florida. Juan Ponce de Leon never found the Fountain of Youth. Neither did anyone else, at least as far as we know.41. Ponce's voyage to the New World with Columbus______________.A. affected his future life greatlyB. made him forget the way backC. was supported by Charles V financiallyD. was to find the Fountain of Youth42. The underlined word "consented" in Paragraph 4probably means_____________.A. agreedB. opposedC. doubtedD. succeeded43. According to the passage, Ponce_____________.A. became governor of Boriquien in 1513B. found the Fountain of Youth in 1521C. arrived in Florida twiceD. didn't show much interest in the Fountain of Youth44. According to the last paragraph we can know that______________.A. Ponce managed to escape from native tribesmen's attack without any injuryB. Ponce died in Florida in 1521C. his men weren't well received by native tribesmen in FloridaD. people found the Fountain of Youth after Ponce's deathBThere is plenty for kids and teens to do in the Syracuse area during the summer, including some great educational opportunities. Here are the top four.Rosamond Gifford Zoo CampThe zoo offers separate camps for kids. The camps for kindergarteners run from 9 am to 12:30 pm, and cost $115 for zoo members and $135 for non-members.

All camps feature numerous educational activities and animal encounters. The camps run from August 14 to August 19.

Where can children attend the largest number of programs with low cost?A. Christian Brothers AcademyB. Rosamond Gifford ZooC. The Sheldon InstituteD. Syracuse UniversityCSchools are still free to pass the potato. On Tuesday, the U.S. Senate voted to block a proposal(提议) by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) would have limited the amount of potatoes and other starchy(富含淀粉的) vegetables served in schools. And those vegetables high in carbohydrates(碳⽔化合物) would also have been banned from school breakfast. The USDA had wanted to make the changes to the federal school lunch program.The Senate’s amendment(修正案) blocks the USDA from putting any limits on amount of servings of potatoes or othervegetables in school lunches. Senator Susan Collins of Maine, a potato—growing state, supported amendment. “USDA’s proposed rule would have put significant and needless costs on our nation’s school districts at a time when they can least afford it,”Collins said.Those in favor of potato limit say that children getenough potatoes already and should be encouraged to try other vegetables. The centre for science in the Public Interest pushed for the restrictions. “USDA’s proposal was about helping kids to eat a very wide variety of vegetables, and I think that opinion has been lost in all this,”said the Center’s Margo Wootan, “Other vegetables have a hard time competing with potatoes.”The proposed change upset potato growers, who believed potatoes were being unfairly targeted. Some schools have criticized the USDA’s attempt to tell them exactly what foods they can or can’t serve. Critics say the USDA should focus on advising schools on how to prepare the potato instead. Potatoes can be a good source of fiber. Many schools already prepare French fries with less grease(油脂) and serve potatoes in healthier ways.The USDA is expected to release a final list of guidelines for the federal school lunch program next year. Senator Mark Udall of Colorado, another potato—growing state, also supported the amendment that blocked the potato limit. “This amendment seeks to ensure flexibility for schools to provide nutritious and affordable school meals.”he said.48. What is the content of the proposal put forward by the USDA?A. Reducing the amount of starch vegetables served in schools.B. Reducing the amount of vegetables served in schools.C. Supporting serving potatoes in school.D. Stopping serving starchy vegetables in schools.49. One reason for blocking the proposal is that________. .A. the proposal will put needless costs on nation’s school districtsB. children like eating potatoes.C. there aren’t enough other vegetables for childrenD. other vegetables will have a hard time competing with potatoes.50. What’s the main idea of the passage?A. Food supplies in America affect students.B. Potatoes served in school will be limited.C. A project on the students’health is carried out.D.A proposal is blocked by the U.S. Senate.第⼆节(共5⼩题；每⼩题2分,满分l0分)根据短⽂内容,从下框的A～F选项中选出能概括每⼀段主题的最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该选项涂⿊.选项中有⼀项为多余项.China must become more livable to retain top talent51. _______________________China has to transform from an "economic power" to a "livable power" in order to keep its wealth, talent and confidence.The "2011 China Private Wealth Report," released recently by China Merchants Bank, shows that nearly 60 percent of the respondents(调查对象) whose investment exceed (超越）10 million yuan have plans to emigrate (移居外国）by investing.52. _______________________Human migration is not a new phenomenon. From the Euro-Asian Silk Road to Columbus's Discovery of the New World, migrants have brought about cultural communications and economic exchanges across the world. Migration has become an important driving force for social progress.53. _______________________Nowadays, economic globalization has considerably improved the freedom and increased the attractiveness of migration from one country to another.A certain degree of Chinese emigration can not only offer more opportunities in personal life, employment and investment but also boost（促进）the exchange and cooperation between China and other countries.54._______________________However, the factors of the emigration wave should also be figured out.The topic of emigration seems serious because this new wave has to some extent reflected some “unlivable”factors in China. The reasons provided by Chinese emigrants include helping their children to avoid domestic exam-oriented education, obtaining a healthy living environment and sound social security, seeking a sounder investment environment and getting rid of the "anti-rich" atmosphere arising from the inequality in wealth.55. _______________________In order to curb（控制）the wave of emigration, China should further deepen social and economic reforms, improve its educational system to guarantee children'shealth and happiness, as well as strengthen the protection of private wealth through legislation. Furthermore, China shouldalso improve the social security system to increase people's happiness, crack down on corruption and promote social justice and equity so as to uphold the dignity of ordinary citizens. Only in this way can China retain its wealth, talent and confidence and curb the overheated immigration wave.第II卷第三部分：写作(共三节, 满分40分)第⼀节单词拼写(共10⼩题；每⼩题1分，满分10分) 根据下列各句句意和空⽩之后的汉语提⽰词，在答题卡指定区域的横线上写出对应单词的正确、完整形式，每空只写⼀词。

AFour Best Cities to Visit in WinterCold rains, icy sidewalks and gray skies can make winter travel a trial.

There are several attractive museums, including the Polar Museum, which offers an insight into the history of Arctic expeditions, and the Tromso Museum, which is famous for its Sami exhibitions.Amsterdam, NetherlandsIn winter, Amsterdam' s museums are much less crowded, making it the time to visit attractions such as Rijksmuseum or the Anne Frank House.
