三、阅读理解
A
Sometimes you’ll hear people say that you can’t love others until you love yourself. Sometimes you’ll hear people say that you can’t expect someone else to love you until you love yourself. Either way, you’ve got to love yourself first and this ca n be tricky. Sure we all know that we’re the apple of our parents’ eyes, and that our Grandmas think we’re great talents and our Uncle Roberts think that we will go to the Olympics. but sometimes it’s a lot harder to think such nice thoughts about ourselve s. If you find that believing in yourself is a challenge. it is time you build a positive self-image and learn to love yourself.
Self-image is your own mind’s picture of yourself. This image includes the way you look, the way you act, the way you talk and the way you think. Interestingly, our self-images are often quite different from the images others hold about US. Unfortunately, most of these images are more negative than they should be. Thus changing the way you think about yourself is the key to changing your self-image and your whole world.
The best way to defeat a passive self-image is to step back and decide to stress your successes. That is, make a list if you need to, but write down all of the great things you do every day. Don’t allow doubts to occur in it.
It very well might be that you are experiencing a negative self-image because you can’t move past one flaw or weakness that you see about yourself. Well, roll up your sleeves and make a change of it as your primary task. If you think you’re silly because you aren’t good at math, find a tutor. If you think you’re weak because you can’t run a mile, get to the track and practice. If you think you’re dull because you don’t wear the latest trends, buy a few new clothes. But remember, just because you think it doesn’t mean it’s true.
The best way to get rid of a negative serf-image is to realize that your image is far from objective, and to actively convince yourself of your positive qualities. Changing the way you think and working on those you need to improve will go a long way towards promoting a positive self-image. When you can pat(拍) yourself on the back, you’ll know you’re well on your way. Good luck!

A. How to prepare for your success.
B. How to face challenges in your life.

B
Napoleon, as a character in Tolstoy’s War and Peace, is m ore than once described as having “fat little hands.’’ Nor does he “sit well or firmly on the horse.’’ He is said to be “undersized’’ with“short legs’’ and a “round stomach”. The issue here is not the accuracy of Tolstoy’s description--it seems not that far off from historical accounts but his choice of facts：other things that could be said of the man are not said. We are meant to understand the difference of a warring commander in the body of a fat little Frenchman. Tolstoy’s Napoleon could be any man wandering in the streets and putting a little of powdered tobacco up his
nose—and that is the point.
It is a way the novelist uses to show the moral nature of a character. And it turns out that, as Tolstoy has it, Napoleon is a crazy man. In a scene in Book Three of War and Peace, the wars having reached the critical year of 1812,Napoleon receives a representative from the Tsar(沙皇), who has come with peace terms. Napoleon is very angry：doesn’t he have more army? He, not the Tsar, is the one to make the terms. He will destroy all of Europe if his army is stopped. “That is what you will have gained by engaging me in the war!” he sh outs. And then, Tolstoy writes, Napoleon “walked silently several times up and down the room, his fat shoulders moving quickly.’’
Still later, after reviewing his army amid cheering crowds, Napoleon invites the shaken Russian to dinner. “He raised his hand to the Russian’s…face,” Tolstoy writes, and “taking him by the ear pulled it gently….” To have one’s ear pulled by the Emperor was considered the greatest honor and mark of favor at the French court. “Well, well, why don’t you say anything?’’ said he, as if it was ridiculous in his presence to respect any one but himself, Napoleon.
Tolstoy did his research, but the composition is his own.
51. Tolstoy’s description of Napoleon in War and Peace is _________.
A. far from the historical facts
B. based on the Russian history
C. based on his selection of facts
D. not related to historical details
52. Napoleon was angry when receiving the Russian representative because _________.
A. he thought he should be the one to make the peace terms
B. the Tsar's peace terms were hard to accept
C. the Russians stopped his military movement
D. he didn’t have any more army to fight with
53. What did Napoleon expect the Russian representative to do?
A. To walk out of the room in anger.
B. To show agreement with him.
C. To say something about the Tsar.
D. To express his admiration.
54. Tolstoy intended to present Napoleon as a man who is _________.
A. ill-mannered in dealing with foreign guests
B. fond of showing off his iron will
C. determined in destroying all of Europe
D. crazy for power and respect
55. What does the last sentence of the passage imply?
A. A writer doesn’t have to be faithful to his findings.
B. A writer may write about a hero in his own way.
C. A writer may not be responsible for what he writes.
D. A writer has hardly any freedom to show his feelings.

of the words. This is especially (有必要的)when watching TV or 84.

单选1. A or else意为“要不然，否则”。
2. A 考查连词。根据语境用if引导条件状语从句。
3. A 本题考查考生运用介词和比较级的能力。For在这里是“就……而言”的意思，而第二个选项要抓住信息词still在此处的妙用，它是用来修饰比较级的，加上上文的cold，在此处就不难选择colder了。
4. D 本题考查不定代词的本意区别及其与语境综合运用。此处none指的是not any vinegar，也就是说，此处可以这样理解：I'm sorry to say that I didn't put any vinegar in the soup, because I forgot it.
5. B 本题考查考生在语境中灵活运用. 辨析短语用法的能力，此处seldom，if ever是一个短语，是“从不，决不”的意思。
6. B 本题however you like相当于in whatever way you like，根据语境，不难判断出B为正确答案。
7. A 本题考查情态动词shall在主语是第二. 三人称时，作为征求意见的用法。。
8. C 考查连接词。Where引导地点状语从句。
9. C 考查时态。had planned发生called和couldn't get away之前。
10. D 考查连接代词。whosever既引导从句作介词to的宾语，又在从句中作定语。
11. A 考查冠词的用法。第一空表示泛指，而第二空构成一个短语do sb. a great service，其意思为“给某人提供好的服务”。Service在这里为抽象名词具体化。
12. C 考查动词的时态。根据句子的意思，表示发生在过去的动作对现在所产生的影响，所以应该用现在完成时。此句的意思是“由于我把所有的钱都丢失了，所以再开始说是我的过错也就没有意义了”。
13. A 考查动词短语的用法。look up的意思为“向上看”. “尊敬”. “仰望”. “查寻”. “拜访”. “好转”，在本语境中为“好转”。
14. A 考查介词表示时间的用法。during the night的意思为“在晚上的某个时间”。
15. C 考查冠词的用法，experience意思为“经验”时是一个不可数名词，当意思为“经历”时是一个可数名词。本题是他在社会中赢得了很丰富的经验，experience在此为不可数名词，社会在这里是抽象名词，所以不加冠词。
16. A 本题考查free的用法。在这里free的意思为：解除负担. 义务或限制。在本题中，free和句子的主语之间是一种逻辑上是动宾关系，所以要用过去分词形式，表示一种被动与完成。
17. B 本题是对情景交际用语的考查。“你错过了开会”，而从答语中的“我在会议结束前五分钟到达会场”，可以看出答话者认为对方讲话不够确切，毕竟答话者参加了会议，只不过迟到而已。
18. C 本题考查交际用语，表示许可时，肯定回答常用“Yes, please. / Of course, you may. / Go ahead, please. / Not at all. / Just help yourself. ”等表示。B和D选项前后矛盾。
19. C 本题考查交际用语。当对方表示感谢时，常用的答语有：You're welcome. / It's nothing. / That's all right. / Don't mention it. / It's a pleasure. / It's my pleasure. / That's nothing. / It was no trouble at all. 等。A 项意思为“乐于效劳”；D项表示同意等；B项“不要紧. 没关系”。
20. C 根据句意，该空须填一个连词。Considering连词，“就……而论；照……来看”。
