It is eager to please and willing to carry out any commands that you give it-whether you do this knowingly or not is entirely up to you."Try"even 甚至effect 影响sub-conscious 潜意识mind 记忆imagine 想象eager 渴望to carry out 执行command 命令knowingly 故意的entirely 完全的It is a small word yet it has an amazing impact upon us. If someone says, "I'll try to do that" you know that they are not going to be putting their whole heart into it, and may not even do it at all. How often do you use the word try when talking about the things that matter to you? Do you say "I'll try to be more confident" or "I'll try to do that" or "I'll try to call"?amazing 令人吃惊的impact 影响whole heart into 全身心的confident 信心Think about something that you would like to achieve, and say it to yourself in two different ways. Firstly say, "I'll try to ?" and notice how you feel. Next say "I will do ?" and see how you feel.The latter made you feel better than the first one didn't it? It gives you a sense of determination; a feeling that it will be done. Listen to the people around you and when they say they will try notice if it gets done or not. Eliminate the word try from your dictionary and see how your life improves."Can't"achieve 实现firstly 首先notice 通知latter 后者sense of 感觉到determination 决心eliminate 消除dictionary 字典improve 改善This is another small word with big impact. It dis-empowers us, makes us feel week and helpless, and damages our self-esteem. It limits our infinite abilities and stifles creativity. Rub it out from your internal dictionary and replace it with something that makes you feel great.Instead of saying you can't, why not say something like "I choose ?" or "I choose not to ?". Using words like this allows you to take back your power and to be in control of your life.impact 影响dis-empower 削弱weak 软弱self-esteem 自尊心limit 限制infinite 无限ability 能力stifle 扼杀creativity 创造力rub 擦internal 内部replace 替换instead 替代control 控制Words may appear small and insignificant, yet they can have a deep and lasting effect on us. Mastering your language gives you the power to live whatever life you desire.What words do you use a lot that dis-empower you? Make a list of words you commonly use and then write next to them some alternatives you can use. Make these alternatives words that make you feel fabulous, not only about yourself, but about life and what you are doing!appear 显得insignificant 无关紧要的deep 深desire 渴望commonly 一般alternative 替代选择fabulous 难以执行。

I always took it for granted that I was far more intelligent than he was. Yet, when anything went wrong with my car I hastened to him with it, watched him anxiously as he explored its vitals, and listened to his pronouncements as though they were divine oracles-and he always fixed my car. Well, then, suppose my auto-repairman devised questions for an intelligence test. Or suppose a carpenter did, or a farmer, or, indeed, almost anyone but an academician. By every one of those tests, I’d prove myself a moron. And I’d be a moron, too. In a world where I could not use my academic training and my verbal talents but had to do something intricate or hard, working with my hands, I would do poorly. My intelligence, then, is not absolute. Its worth is determined by the society I live in. Its numerical evaluation is determined by a small subsection of that society which has managed to foist itself on the rest of us as an arbiter of such matters. Consider my auto-repairman, again. He had a habit of telling me jokes whenever he saw me. One time he raised his head from under the automobile hood to say: “Doc, a deaf-and-dumb guy went into a hardware store to ask for some nails. He put two fingers together on the counter and made hammering motions with the other hand. The clerk brought him a hammer. He shook his head and pointed to the two fingers he was hammering. The clerk brought him nails. He picked out the sizes he wanted, and left. Well, doc, the next guy who came in was a blind man. He wanted scissors. How do you suppose he asked for them?”I lifted my right hand and made scissoring motions with my first two fingers. Whereupon my auto-repair man laughed heartily and said, “Why, you dumb fool, he used his voice and asked for them. “ Then he said, smugly, “I’ve been trying that on all my customers today. ““Did you catch many?” I asked. “Quite a few. “ He said “but I knew for sure I’d catch you. ““Why is that?” I asked. “Because you’re so goddamned educated, doc, I knew you couldn’t be very smart. “And I have an uneasy feeling he had something there.11．The auto-repairman______.A．once took an intelligent testB．could fix a car skillfullyC．scored only 80 in a testD．was far less intelligent than the author正确答案：B12．The author seems to be weak in______.A．academic studyB．verbal expressionC．doing manual workD．designing an intelligent test正确答案：C13．The auto-repairman called the author “doc”, which means______ A．documentB．doctorC．do or can’tD．designing an intelligent test正确答案：B14．When the auto-repairman tried the tricky question on the author, ____ A．he was certain that the author would be caughtB．he had no idea what the result would beC．he knew that the author would give the correct answerD．he realized that the author had an uneasy feeling正确答案：A15．According to the auto-repair man, a well-educated person______. A．was like a deaf-and-dumb guyB．had a habit of telling jokesC．never knew how to buy scissorsD．couldn’t be very smart正确答案：DWord Spelling16．e_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ adj.有效的，被实施的正确答案：effective17．m_ _ _ _ _ _ _ vt. & vi.缓和正确答案：moderate18．c_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ vt.使确信，使信服正确答案：convince19．s_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ vt. & vi.概述，总结正确答案：summarize20．c_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ adj.体谅的，会照顾的正确答案：considerate21．a_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ vt. & vi.赏识，鉴赏正确答案：appreciate22．d_ _ _ _ _ _ _ adj.戏剧性的，生动的正确答案：dramatic23．v_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ vt. & vi.志愿，自愿正确答案：volunteer24．a_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ adj.自信的，肯定的正确答案：assertive25．m_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ adj.单调的，乏味的正确答案：monotonousWord From26．Oil is used to make the parts of a machine move______(smooth).正确答案：smoothly27．Staying in the country will be______(benefit)to his health.正确答案：beneficial28．The film I saw last week was really______(enjoy).正确答案：enjoyable29．He remains calm and ______(seem)untroubled by his recent problems.正确答案：seemingly30．People who speak quickly and______(breath)are usually regarded as diffident(缺乏自信的).正确答案：breathily31．He’s got the______(confident)to walk into a room of strangers and immediately start a conversation.正确答案：confidence32．He got an______(abdomen)pain yesterday after dinner.正确答案：abdominal33．The defense system would______(active)if no proper identifying signal was given.正确答案：activate34．Shy students are sometimes discouraged by the more______(talk) members of the class.正确答案：talkative35．To our______(annoy), we couldn’t see anything from the back row of the theater.正确答案：annoyance。

Write your right letter on the Answer Sheet:(20%)Passage 13Public goods are those commodities whose enjoyment nobody can be effectively excluded. Everybody is free to enjoy the benefits of these commodities and one person’s use does not reduce the possibilities of anybody else’s enjoying the same good.Examples of public goods are not as rare as one might expect. A flood control dam is a public good. Once the dam is built, all persons living in the area will benefit—irrespective of(不考虑)their own contribution to the construction cost of the dam. The same holds true for highway signs or aids navigation(航海).Once a lighthouse is built, no ship of any nationality can be effectively excluded from use of the lighthouse for navigational purposes. National defense is another example. Even a person who voted against military costs or did not pay any taxes will benefit from the protection afforded.It is no easy task to determine the social costs and social benefits associated with a pubilc good. There is no practicable way of charging drivers for looking at highway signs, sailors for watching a lighthouse and citizens for the security provided to them through national defense. Because the market does not provide the necessary signals, economic study is to be replaced by the impersonal judgment of the marketplace.1.What does the passage mainly discuss?A. A specific group of commodities.B. The economic structure of the marketplace.C. Mechanisms for safer navigation.D. The advantage of lowering taxes.2.Which of the following would NOT be an example of a public good as described in the passage?A.A stoplight.B.A bridge.C.A fire truck.D.A taxicab.3.In Paragraph 2,the word “holds”(Para. 2,Line 3)could best be replaced by which of the following?A. hasB. isC. graspsD. carries4.According to the passage, finding out the social costs of a public good is a _________.A. matter of personal judgmentB. daily administrative dutyC. difficult procedureD. citizen’s responsibility5.Which of the following statements best describes the organization of the first two paragraphs?A. A general concept is defined and then examples are given.B. Several generalizations are presented from which various conclusions are drawn.C. Persuasive language is used to argue against a popular idea.D. Suggestions for the application of an economic concept are offered.Passage 2At the bottom of the world lies a mighty continent still wrapped in the Ice Age and, until recent times, unknown to man. It is a great landmass with mountain ranges whose extent and elevation are still uncertain. Much of the continent is a complete blank on our maps. Man has explored, on foot, less than one percent of its area.4Antarctica differs fundamentally from the Arctic regions. The Arcitc is an ocean, covered with drifting packed ice and hemmed in by the landmasses of Europe, Asia, and North America. The Antarctic is a continent almost as large as Europe and Australia combined, centered roughly on the South Pole and surrounded by the most unobstructed water areas of the world—the Atlantic, Pacific, and Indian Oceans.The continental ice sheet is more than two miles high in its center; thus, the air over the Antarctic is far more iced than it is over the Arctic regions. This cold air current from the land is so forceful that it makes the nearby seas the stormiest in the world and makes unlivable those regions whose counterparts(配对物) at the opposite end of the globe are livable. Thus, more than million persons live within 2,000 miles of the North Pole in an area that includes most of Alaska, Siberia, and Scandinavia—a region rich in forest and mining industries. Apart from a handful of weather stations, within the same distance of the South Pole there is not a single tree, industry or settlement.6.The best title for this selection would be ______.A. IcelandB. Land of OpportunityC. Utopia at LastD. The Unknown Continent7.At the time this article was written, our knowledge of Antarctica was ______.A. very limitedB. vastC. fairly richD. nonexistent8.Antarctica is bordered by the ______.A. Pacific OceanB. Indian OceanC. Atlantic OceanD. All three9.The Antarctic is made uninhabitable primarily by ______.A. iceB. calm seasC. cold airD. lack of knowledge about the continent10.According to this article ______.A. 2,000 people live on the Antarctic ContinentB. a million people live within 2,000 miles of the South PoleC. weather conditions within a 2,000 miles radius of the South Pole make settlements impracticalD. only a handful of natives inhabit AntarcticaPassage 3If there is any single element that makes for success in living, it is the ability to profit by defeat. Every success I know has been achieved because the person was able to study defeat and actually profit by it in his next task. Confuse defeat with failure, and you are sure indeed to fail. For it isn’t defeat that makes you fail; it is your own refusal to see in defeat the guide and encouragement to success.Defeats are nothing to be ashamed of. They are daily incidents in the life of every man who achieves success. But defeat is a dead loss unless you do face it without humiliation, study it and learn why you failed. Defeat, in other words, can help to heal its own cause. Not only does defeat prepare us for success, but nothing can arouse(唤起) within use such a compelling desire to succeed. If you let a baby grasp a rod and try to pull it away, he will cling more and more tightly until his whole weight is suspended(悬挂).It is this same reaction that should give you new and greater strength every time you are defeated. If you use the power which defeat gives, you can5accomplish with it far more than you are capable of.11.What does the author know?A.

A short time after she had begun teaching, she established a school for young girls in her grandparents’ home. Stress was placed on moral character at Dorothea’s school, which she conducted until she was thirty-three.She was forced to give up teaching at her grandparents’ home, however, when she became ill.A few year of inactivity followed.In 1841 Dorothea began to teach again, accepting a Sunday school class in the East Cambridge, Massachusetts’ jail. Here, she first came upon insane people locked up together with criminals.In those days insane people were treated even worse than criminals. There were only a few asylums(疯人院) in the entire country. Therefore jails, poor houses, and houses of correction were used to confine the insane.Dorothea Dix made a careful investigation of the inhuman treatment of the insane. It was considered unfit for a woman to devote herself to such work at this time. But this did not stop Dorothea Dix in her efforts to provide proper medical care for the insane.Gradually, because of her investigations, conditions were improved. More than thirty mental6institutions were founded or reestablished in the United States because of her efforts. Dorothea also extended her investigations to England and to other parts of Europe.During the Civil War, Dorothea served as superintendent(主管) of women hospital nurses in the Union army. When the war was over, she returned to her work of improving conditions for insane people.16.Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A. The Treatment of Mental Illness.B.

This is a mistake, 24 employers generally expect some negotiation in the hiring process and have 25 that into their offer by initially pitching a number that is 26 than they can ultimately go.So how do you go about negotiating a salary that 27 what you’re worth?

Write the letter corresponding to your choice on the answer sheet (2 points each, 20 points in all)1、Passage 1Throughout history artists have illed many different roles, but their value and importance to society have stayed basically the same. To begin with, artists fulfll a practical function, designing virtually every structure and object in the environment. Today this practical role is carried out by artists with specialized, often technical training一industrial and graphic designers, architects, craft artists, and fashion designers, among others. But what about the painters and sculptors, the photographers and cinematographers(电影摄影师)? What needs do they meet in our computer age? We can identify at least four basic functions for the artist- all of them age-old, all expanding in complexity.First, artists record. They give us visual images that can be preserved for historical reference. This idea is so obvious that we take it for granted, forgetting how overwhelming our ignorance otherwise would be. Were it not for artists, we would have no idea what people from the past looked like. Nor could we form any visual image of historical places and events. Before the invention of the camera in the early 19th century, artists recorded images mainly through painting, drawing, and sculpture. Today we rely more heavily on photography, cinema, and television to keep our history, but of course the people behind these media are also artists. Even with the prevalence of mechanical recording, there remains interest in the painted impression, the artist's distinctive filtering of visual appearances.The second thing artists do is to give tangible form to the unknown. In other words, they attempt to record what cannot be seen with the eyes or what has not yet occurred. This role has been important throughout the history of art, and it is no less vital today. Ancient artists had a somewhat different list ofunknowns to contend with. They puzzled over and feared such things as tormadoes, floods, eclipses, and the wrath of spirits. Even in an age when satellites predict the weather and spirits have been tamed, there still are certain unknowns, and artists still are struggling to give them tangible form. What would a nuclear holocaust be like? We do not know and dare not find out. What exists at the edge of our universe? Scientists will know eventually, but not soon. What do our dreams and nightmares really mean? None of us can analyze them definitely. These unknowns are frightening to us, just as the Thunder God must have been to our ancestors.Third, artists give tangible form to feelings. These may be the artist's own feelings that are expressed in paint or marble or whatever the medium. But surely they are feelings shared by many people- Hlove, hate, despair, fear, exhilaration, anger. When we pay attention to the emotions a work of art evokes, we are communicating with the artist and with others who have such feelings.Fourth, artists offer an innovative way of seeing, a unique visual查看答案【二、CLOZE】1~5CADAB6~10CCABA11~15点击下载查看答案【三、PARAPHRASING】1~5ADDDA6~10ABAC【四、READING COMPREHENSION】 1~5ADAAD6~10BCBC。
