And there is nothing mysterious about the mighty forces.They are potential powers we possess energy, skill, sound judgment creative ideas— even physical strength greater than most of us realize.Admittedly , those mighty forces are spiritual ones.But they are more important than physicalones.A college classmate of mine, Tim , was an excellent football player, even though he weighedmuch less than the average player."In one game I suddenly found myself confronting a huge player,who had nothing but me between him and our goal line , " said Tim. “I was so frightened that Iclosed my eyes and desperately threw myself at that guy like a bullet仟弹）一and stopped him cold.Boldness— a willingness to extend yourself to the extreme — is not one that can be acquired overnight.But it can be taught to children and developed in adults.Confidence builds up.Surely there will be setbacks性折）and disappointments in life ； boldness in itself is no guarantee of success.But the person who tries to do something and fails is a lot better off than the person who tries to do nothing and succeeds.So, always try to live a little bit beyond your abilities—and you'll find your abilities are greater than you ever dreamed.【语篇解读】本文是一篇议论文。

(2015·四川，D)Their cheery song brightens many a winter's day.But robins are in danger of wearing themselves out by singing too much.Robins are singing all night—as well as during the day，British-based researchers say.David Dominoni，of Glasgow University，said that light from street lamps，takeaway signs and homes is affecting the birds' biological clocks，leading to them being wide awake when they should be asleep.Dr Dominoni，who is putting cameras inside nesting boxes to track sleeping patterns，said lack of sleep could put the birds' health at risk.His study shows that when robins are exposed to light at night in the lab，it leads to some genes being active at the wrong time of day.And the more birds are exposed to light，the more active they are at night.He told people at a conference，“There have been a couple of studies suggesting they are increasing their song output at night and during the day they are still singing.Singing is a costly behaviour and it takes energy.So by increasing their song output，there might be some costs of energy.”And it is not just robins that are being kept awake by artificial light.Blackbirds and seagulls are also being more nocturnal.Dr Dominoni said，“In Glasgow where I live，gulls are a serious problem.I have people coming to me saying ‘You are the bird expert.Can you help us kill these gulls？’．During the breeding(繁殖) season，between April and June，they are very active at night and very noisy and people can't sleep.”Although Dr Dominoni has only studied light pollution，other research concluded that robins living in noisy cities have started to sing at night to make themselves heard over loud noise.However，some birds thrive(兴旺) in noisy environments.A study from California Polytechnic State University found more hummingbirds in areas with heavy industrial machinery.It is thought that they are capitalising on their predators(天敌) fleeing to quieter areas.【语篇解读】本文主要介绍了一项调查研究的结果，由于人类制造的光线问题，越来越多的鸟类如知更鸟在晚上也会唱歌，这极大地影响了鸟的健康。

Task 1：阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

(2015·广东，D)It was once common to regard Britain as a society with class distinction.Each class had unique characteristics.In recent years，many writers have begun to speak of the ‘decline of class’ and ‘classless society’ in Britain.And in modern day consumer society everyone is considered to be middle class.But pronouncing the death of class is too early.A recent wide-ranging study of public opinion found 90 percent of people still placing themselves in a particular class；73 percent agreed that class was still a vital part of British society；and 52 percent thought there were still sharp class differences.Thus，class may not be culturally and politically obvious，yet it remains an important part of British society.Britain seems to have a love of stratification.One unchanging aspect of a British person's class position is accent.The words a person speaks tell her or his class.A study of British accents during the 1970s found that a voice sounding like a BBC newsreader was viewed as the most attractive voice.Most people said this accent sounded ‘educated’ and ‘soft’．The accents placed at the bottom in this study，on the other hand，were regional(地区的)city accents.These accents were seen as ‘common’ and ‘ugly’．However，a similar study of British accents in the US turned these results upside down and placed some regional accents as the most attractive and BBC English as the least.This suggests that British attitudes towards accent have deep roots and are based on class prejudice.In recent years，however，young upper middle-class people in London，have begun to adopt some regional accents，in order to hide their class origins.This is an indication of class becoming unnoticed.However，the 1995 pop song ‘Common People’ puts forward the view that though a middle­class person may ‘want to live like common people’ they can never appr eciate the reality of a working-class life.【语篇解读】作者在文章中给我们介绍了两项调查，通过两项调查的结果我们可以看到，在英国社会里，阶级划分没有消失，它是英国社会重要的一部分。
