He thinks the best thing to do in this kind of situation is to pretend nothing has happened, and so avoid 19 trouble.

My face turned red but the teacher24 me to go to the blackboard and 25 what I knew. If I had 26 the words in the article, I would have given up. But I tried my best. And to everyone’s 27 , I succeeded! The teacher smiled and said, “Well done! I 28 you could do it!” Since then, I have become active in maths as well as in other subjects. I used to think doing maths exercises was a waste of time. But now, I know whatever I do can make things better. Everyone is the 29 of his own fate.

第一节阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分）

A

When something goes wrong, it can be very satisfying to say, "Well, it's so-and-so's fault. "or "I know I'm late, but it's not my fault; the car broke down. " It is probably not your fault, but once you form the habit of blaming somebody or something else for a bad situation, you are a loser. You have no power and could do nothing that helps change the situation. However, you can have great power over what happens to you if you stop focusing on whom to blame and start focusing on how to remedy the situation. This is the winner's key to success.

Winners are great at overcoming problems. For example, if you were late because your car broke down, maybe you need to have your car examined more regularly. Or, you might start to carry along with you the useful phone numbers, so you could call for help when in need. For another example, if your colleague causes you problems on the job for lack of responsibility or ability, find ways of dealing with his irresponsibility or inability rather than simply blame the person. Ask to work with a different person, or don't rely on this person. You should accept that the person is not reliable and find creative ways to work successfully regardless of how your colleague fails to do his job well.

This is what being a winner is all about-creatively using your skills and talents so that you are

successful no matter what happens. Winners don't have fewer problems in their lives; they have just as many difficult situations to face as anybody else. They are just better at seeing those problems as challenges and opportunities to develop their own talents. So, stop focusing on "whose fault it is. " Once you are confident about your power over bad situations, problems are just stepping stones for success.

41. According to the passage, winners____________.

A. deal with problems rather than blame others

B. meet with fewer difficulties in their lives

C. have responsible and able colleagues

D. blame themselves rather than others

42. The underlined word remedy in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to____________.

A. avoid

B. accept

43. When your colleague brings about a problem, you should____________.

A. find a better way to handle the problem

B. blame him for his lack of responsibility

C. tell him to find the cause of the problem

D. ask a more able colleague for help

44. When problems occur, winners take them as____________

A. excuses for their failures

B. barriers to greater power

C. challenges to their colleagues

D. chances for self-development

45. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?

A. A Winner's Secret.

B. A Winner's Problem.

C. A Winner's Opportnnity.

D. A Winner's Achievement.

If you look for a book as a present for a child. You will be spoiled for choice even in a year when there is no new Harry Patten J.K Powling’s wizard. The past decade has been a harvest for good children’s books, which has set off a large quantity of films and an increased sales of classics such as The lard of the Rings.

Yet despite that , reading is increasingly unpopular among children. According to statistics in 1997 23% said they didn’t like reading in all. In 2003, 35% did . And arou nd 6% of children leave primary school each year unable to read properly.

Maybe the decline is caused by the increasing availability of computes games. Maybe the books boom has affected only the top of the educational pile. Either way, Chancellor Cordon Brown plans to change things for the bottom of the class. In his pre-budget report, he announced the national project of Reading Recovery to help the children struggling most.

Reading Recovery is aimed at six year olds, who receive four months of individual daily half-hour classes with a specially trained teacher. An evaluation either this year reported that children on the school made 20 months’ progress in just one year, whereas similarly weak readers without special help made just five months’ progress, and so ended the year even further below the level expected for their age.

International research tends to find that when British children leave primary school they read well, but read text often for fun than those elsewhere. Reading for fun matters because children who are been on reading can report lifelong pleasure and loving books is an excellent indicator of future educational success. According to the OECD, being a regular and enthusiastic reader is of great advantage.

A. Many children’s books have been adapted from films.

B. Many high-quality children’s books have been published. [

D. The sales of presents for children have increased.

47. Statistics suggested that .

A. the number of top students increased with the use of computers

B. a decreasing number of children showed interest in reading

Johnson was the longest survivor born HIV positive（艾滋病病毒携带者）.He survived with this deadly disease for 12 years before it claimed his life.

At first, Johnson was expected to live for nine months when his foster mother, Gail Johnson took him in at the age of two. She now runs Nkosi’s Haven across town from her house in Melville. The Haven is home to 20 children living with HIV or AIDS, and 11 of their mothers.

In the 1960s, medical researchers Thomas Holmes and Richard Rahe developed a checklist of stressful events. They appreciated the tricky point that any major change can be stressful. Bad events like "serious illness of a family member" were high on the list, but so were some helpful life-changing events like marriage.

When you take the Holmes-Rahe test you must remember that the score does not show how you deal with stress －it only shows how much you have to deal with. And we now know that the way you deal with these events dramatically (戏剧性的) affects your chances of staying healthy. By the early 1970s, hundreds of similar studies had followed Holmes and Rahe. And millions of Americans who work and live under stress worried over the reports. Somehow the research got boiled down to a memorable message. Women's magazines ran titles like "Stress causes illness".

If you want to stay physically and mentally healthy the articles said avoid stressful events. But such simplistic advice is impossible to follow. Even if stressful events are dangerous , many — like the death of a loved one — are impossible to avoid. Moreover, any warning to avoid all stressful events is a prescription (处方) for staying away from chances as well as trouble. Since any change can be stressful, a person who wanted to be completely free of stress would never marry, have a child, take a new job or move. The idea that all stress makes you sick also takes no notice of a lot of what we know about people. It supposes we' re all vulnerable and not active in the face of the difficult situation. But what about human ability and creativity? Many come through periods of stress with more physical and mental strength than they had before. We also know that a long time without change or challenge can lead to boredom and physical and mental pressure.

56. The result of Holmes-Rahe’s medical research tells us _________________.

A. the way you deal with major events may cause stress

B. what should be done to avoid stress

C. what kind of event would cause stress

D. how to deal with sudden changes in life

57. The studies on stress in the early 1970s led to ___________________.

A. popular avoidance of stressful jobs

B. great fear over the mental disorder

C. a careful research into stress-related illnesses

D. widespread worry about its harmful effects

58. The score of the Holmes-Rahe test shows ________________.

A. how you can deal with life-changing events

B. how helpful events can change your life

C. how stressful a major event can be

D. how much pressure you are under

59. Why is “such simplistic advice” (Line 1, Paragraph 3) impossible to follow?

A. No one can stay on the same job for long.

B. No prescription is effective in reducing stress.

C. People have to get married someday.

D. You could be missing chances as well.

60. According to the passage people who have experienced ups and downs may become _______.

A. nervous when faced with difficulties

B. physically and mentally tired

C. more able to deal with difficulties

D. cold toward what happens to them

56．A。主旨大意题。难度较大。根据文章前面的叙述，其意为“分数无法向你表明你怎样对待压力，只表明你承受多大程度的压力”。做题时，可以紧接着看后面一句，即你处理这些事件的方式会很戏

剧性地影响你保持健康的机会。

第二节读写任务（共1小题，满分25分）

Recently, a game called “Online vegetables” has become popular. In the game, the players need to grow vegetables with care. By harvesti ng the fruits, the players can gain profits. They can also steal others’ vegetables to increase their income effortlessly.

The game "Online vegetables" which has gain popularity, has exerted great impact on people. To gain more profits, some players even get up at midnight to steal other’s vegetables. Some go to great lengths to list the time when others’ vegetables are ripe so as to gather in their fruits. What’s more, some players spend large sum of money buying fertilizer or other things to raise the vegetables. All these strange phenomena have aroused people’s concern.

To me, the addiction to the game is just beyond my comprehension and it’s not worthwhile. Although it can relieve some pressure of study or work, it is unreasonable to spend so much time and efforts on the growth of fake vegetables. The money they earn is nothing more than a number, which can’t be used as a currency. Therefore, it is simply crazy to put your heart into the vegetables. Therefore, the game is not worth our time or efforts.
