Part II Reading Comprehension （15 minutes）

(1)How to Visualize Your SuccessHave you ever heard of visualization (可视化)? Of course you have. Everybody's heard of visualization and everybody partakes in it whether they realize it or not. How it works though is an altogether different matter. I want to take a closer look today at the mechanics of why visualizing works without necessarily delving into concepts and theories that cannot be proven.The brain has great difficulty in distinguishing between what's true and what's imagined. There is an off-cited (经常被引用的) example of an experiment conducted by Austrahan Psychologist, Alan Richardson. He took some basketball players and split them into 3 equal groups. One group was told to practice their free throw technique twenty minutes per day. The next group was told to spend twenty minutes per day visualizing, but not attempting free throws, and the final group wasn't allowed to either practice or visualize. At the end of the test period the group that had done nothing remained as they were, but both the other groups showed similar degrees of improvement, The people who only visualized playing basketball were able to perform almost as well as the ones who had actually practiced."How can that be so?"Firstly, the people practicing would miss some shots. Each time they missed they had in effect, practiced how to miss.The people that were visualizing would be hitting every basket so they were building up the feelings and memory of how to be successful.Forging a Path through a MeadowImagine walking home from a new job. You suddenly realize that there is a meadow of long grass that will cut 20 minutes off your walk. If you live in New York you're going to need a great imagination for this one.The first few times you can barely see which way you had walked the previous day. However, after 10 or 20 times you can clearly see a pathway starting to form, and after 100 times all the grass is worn away and there's a farmer with a shotgunand large dog waiting for you at the end. Let's presume our gun-toting friend is a big softie and he allows you to use that route as long as you want. What are the odds that next time you try a slightly different direction? Slim to none would be my guess.After all, you know this way works and you have a lovely easy path.On the other hand, if Farmer Giles starts taking pot shotsat you and sportingly lets the dog try and shoot you too, before releasing it to sink its gnashers into your rear end, then you'll probably find a new way home once you're released fromhospital.The next time you're walking home you opt against reacquainting yourself with Fido and spot another meadow further along the road. The same process then begins to take place only this time the original path you made has started to grow

back.How We Create a Path in Our Mind That is what happens when we form thoughts in our mind. The first time we have a new thought it is a weakling(虚弱者) of a thought that has sand kicked in its face by stronger thoughts and beliefs. Each time you re-think it though it grows in strength as the physical pathway becomes more and more well-defined. Not only that, but if it is a belief that contradicts one you already hold, the older belief starts to atrophy and die.This also explains why we have the same thoughts over and over again and why people have difficulty snapping negative loops (循环) of thinking. The pathway has been established and it's just easier to continue following it than trying to thinkabout something new and form a new connection in the brain.Making Visualization Work for YouVisualization is an incredibly successful and simple way of speeding up the process by fooling the unconscious into believing that you have already done something before you have. That's what the basketball visualizers were doing, fooling their own unconscious into thinking they know how to hit basket after basket. Of course this in and of itself will not turn you into an NBA star, you do actually have to practice as well, but it will help you succeed more quickly.All you need to do to be successful at this is to visualize yourself doing something, as you would like to do it. Profound stuff, huh? Seriously though, that is all there is to it. How long you do it each day will affect the speed of change and it's reallynot advisable visualizing your success for 20 minutes per day and then spending 10 hours worrying about failing and replaying negative stuff in your head. It kind of defeats the object.You can also incorporate the "fake it till you make it" method in with your visualization to help speed up the process.This is simply a matter of pretending you are already proficient at something before you really are. Again, it's simply a way of tricking your unconscious and getting it to do what you want it to do.Some people have difficulty with this process and tell me it's being unrealistic. Well yeh, maybe they're right, but who cares? If you want to be shackled by the chains of realism then go ahead, knock yourself out, but let me tell you this. There are few highly successful people out there that haven't used this method or visualization at one time or another. In fact, successful people don't care too much for reality; it just gets in the way and slows them down. What about you?

(2)What were the results of the experiment conducted by Alan Richardson in the first two groups?

(3)How could the people who only visualized playing basketball do as well as the ones who had actually practiced?

(4)What probably makes you want to try another different direction when you already have one path made?

(5)According to the passage, why do people have difficulty snapping negative loops of thinking?

(6)How is visualization working in the basketball visualizers' brains?

(7)According to the passage, which of the following will help you turn into an NBA star more quickly?

(8)It's not advisable visualizing your success and in your head.

(9)When we combine "fake it till you make it" and , it can help us succeed quickly.

(10)is not very important for successful people, because it just gets in the way and slows them down.

Reading Comprehension （Reading in Depth）

(1)Questions{TSE}are based on the following passage.Sixteen years ago, Eileen Doyle's husband, an engineer, took his four children up for an early morning cup of tea, packed a small case and was never seen or heard of again. Eileen was astonished and in a state of despair. They had been a happyfamily and, as far as she knew, there had been nothing wrong with their marriage.Every day of the year, a small group of men and women quietly pack a few belongings and without so much

as a note or a good-bye close the front door for the last time, leaving their debts, their worries and their confused families behind https://www.360docs.net/doc/ee3908663.html,st year, more than 1,200 men and nearly as many women were reported missing from home--the highest in 15 years.Many did return home within a year, but others rejected the past completely and are now living a new life somewhere under a different identity.To those left behind this form of desertion is a terrible blow to their pride and self-confidence. Even the finality of death might be preferable. At least it does not imply rejection or failure. Worse than that, people can be left with an unfinishedmarriage, not knowing whether they will have to wait seven years before they are free to start a fresh life.Clinical psychologist Paul Brown believes most departures of this kind to be well planned rather than impulsive. "It's typical of the kind of personality which seems able to ignore other people's pain and difficulties. Running away, like killingyourself, is a highly aggressive act. By creating an absence the people left behind feel guilty, upset and empty."The Salvation Army's Investigation Department has a 70 percent success rate in tracking missing people down. According to Lt. Co. Bramwell Pratt, head of the department, men and women run away for very different reasons though lack ofcommunication is often the biggest motive. "The things that disturb a man's personality are problems like being tied up in debt or serious worries about work. And some women make impossible demands on their husbands. Women usually leave for more obvious reasons but fear is at the root of it. Men are more often prepared to give their marriage another try than women, but we are aware that, for some wives, it would be a total impossibility to return after the way they've been treated."注意：此部分试题请在答题卡2上作答。{TS}When her husband left home, Eileen Doyle __

A. most men run away because of the impossible demands of their wives

B. men's reasons are more understandable than women's

C. some women never give their men another chance

D. women are often afraid to start marriage again

(6)Questions {TSE}are based on the following passage.Public speaking fills most people with dread. Humiliation (羞辱) is the greatest fear; self-exposure and failing to appeal to the audience come a close second. Women hate it most, since girls are pressurized from an early age to be concerned with appearances of all kinds.Most people have plenty of insecurities, and this seems like a situation that will bring them out. If you were under pressure to be perfect, you are terrified of falling in the most public of ways.While extroverts (性格外向者) will feel less fear before the ordeal, it does not mean they will necessarily do it better.Some very shy people manage to shine. When I met the British comedian Julian Clary, he was shy and cautious, yet his TV performances are perfect.In fact, personality is not the best predictor of who does it well Regardless of what you are like in real life, the key seems to be to act yourself.Actual acting, as in performing the scripted lines of a character other than yourself, does not do the job. While politicians may limit damage by having carefully rehearsed, written scripts to speak from, there is always a hidden awareness among theaudience that the words might not be true.Likewise, the incredibly perfect speeches of many American academics are far from natural. You may end up buying their book on the way out, but soon afterwards, it is much like fast food, and you get a nameless sense that you've been cheated.Although, as Earl Spencer proved at his sister Princess Diana's funeral, it is possible both to prepare every word and to act naturally. A script rarely works and it is used to help most speakers. But, being yourself doesn't work either. If you spoke as if you were in your own kitchen, it would be too authentic, too unaware of the need to communicate with an audience.I remember going to see British psychiatrist R. D. Laing speak in public. He behaved like a seriously odd person, talking off the top of his head. Although he was talking about madness and he wrote on mental illness, he seemed to be exhibiting rather than explaining it.The best psychological place from which to speak is an unselfconscious self-consciousness, providing the illusion of being natural. Studies suggest that this state of "flow", as psychologists call it, is very satisfying.注意：此部分试题请在答题卡2上作答。{TS}Women hate public speaking most mainly because of

A. their upbringing very early on

B. their inability to appeal to the audience

C. their sense of greater public pressure

D. their sense of greater humiliation

PartIV Cloze（15 minutes）

(1)To be a good teacher, you need some of the gifts of a good actor: you must be able to 67 the attention and interest of your students; you must be a 68 speaker,with a good, strong, 69. voice which is fully under your control; and you must be able to 70 what you are teaching in order to make its meaning clear. 71 a good teacher and you will see that he does not sit still 72__ his class: he stands the whole time when he is teaching; he walks about, using his 73, hands and fingers to help him in his explanations, and his face to express feelings.Listen to him, and you will __74_ the loudness, the quality and the musical note of his voice always 75 according to what he is _76 about. The fact that a good teacher has some of the gifts of a good actor doesn't 77 that he will indeed be able to act 78 on the stage, for there are very important 79 between the teacher's work and the actor's. The actor has to speak words which he has learnt by heart; he has to repeat exactly the _80_ words each time he plays a certain part; _81 his movements and theways in which he uses his voice are usually ._82 beforehand. What he has to do is to make all these carefully learnt words and actions seem 83 on the stage.A good teacher __84_ in quite a different way. His students take an active part in his 85 : they ask and answer questions; they

obey orders; and if they don't understand something, they will say so. The teacher therefore has to suit his act to the needs of his students.He cannot learn his part by heart, but must 86 it as he goes along.阅读以上文章，回答{TSE}题{TS}请在（67）处填上最佳答案。

My Thoughts on the University Arts Festival

For our university's arts festival, I think that the university should hold open competitions and auditions for anyone who wants to take part in the festival's exhibitions and performances. This would not only increase general interest in and appreciation for the arts, but would also be a good way for our university to show its support for the arts.

This arts festival is an excellent opportunity to remind everyone that arts are important for everyone to appreciate and take part in, regardless of major.

I think that there should be general, open auditions and competitions in all the major arts. There should be categories for painting and sculpture; classical, folk and modem dance; and instrumental and choral groups, both large and small. The judges should be joint committees made up of both faculty and Students, both experts in the field and novices. Arranging the festival in this way will, I believe, give our student body a greater enjoyment of the arts, a break from studies and a fuller

appreciation for what it means to be human.Part II Reading Comprehension （15 minutes）(1) :

无论人们是否意识到，视觉化在日常生活中普遍存在，而且起着重要的作用。本文讲述了视觉化如何运作，以及如何通过视觉化加速成功。文章先通过打篮球的例子指出想象在人的思维中所起的重要作用；然后通过现实生活申找路的例子，讲述了如何在思维中建立想象的路径，以及怎样用想象来使我们达到成功的目的。

B。根据题干信息词visualization和works定位到文章第一段末句，即：视觉化并不需要专研其概念和理论也能运作，选项B中的searching deeply into相当于原文的delving into，故选B。选项A与原文相反。原文中提到那些概念和理论还未被证实，所以选项c也不对。

(2) :

A根据题干信息词experiment和Alan Richardson定位到文章第二段。本题问的是“Alan Richardson试验中前两个队的结果是什么?”文中提到：被要求每天想象打篮球的人与实际练习打篮球的人水平相似，故选A。

(3) :

B根据题干信息词visualized和actually practiced定位到文中“How Can that be so?”问题下，即文章第四段。本题问的是“那些仅仅想象打篮球的人是怎么做到与每天实际练习打篮球的人做的一样好呢?”文中提到：被要求想象打篮球的人是依靠在思维中建立感觉和记忆达到成功的，故选B。文中并未提及他们是否聪明、是否以前练习过打球或者看过别人练习打球，故排除A、c、D。

(4) :

C根据题干信息词try another different direction定位到文章第六、七段。本题问“当你已经找到了一条路时，在什么情况下会使得你想尝试换另一个不同的方向?”文中提到：如果农夫用枪袭击你，并放狗咬你，一旦你从医院康复出来，你就有可能寻找一条新的路回家，故选C。选项A(你已经知道这条路行得通而且是一条愉快且轻松的路)，原文中提到，在这种情况下换路的可能性几乎没有，slim在这里意为“(希望、可能性)微小的，渺茫的”。选项B(有一个长满长草的牧场可以缩短20分钟步行时间)，这是指没有抄近路之前，而题于是you already have one path made的情况，所以排除。

(5) :

A根据题干信息词difficulty snapping negative loops ofthinking定位到文章第二个小标题下的第二段。本题问的是“日常生活中，人们为什么很难停止消极思维的恶性循环”，该段第二句提到：由于思维已经形成，保持它比在大脑中试着想象新的事情、形成新的连接更容易，故选A。文中并没有提到消极思维是否比积极思维更容易形成并巩固，所以其他三项均排除。

(6) :

D根据题干信息词basketball visualizers定位到文章中第三个小标题下的第一段。本题问的是“视觉化在被要求想象打篮球的人的大脑里是怎么运作的”，该段第二句提到：想象打篮球的人是这么做的，他们将自己无意识的思想变成认为他们知道怎么打篮球的思想，故选D。文中并未提及他们在想象之前打过篮球，也没有提到他们是否日思夜想如何打球，故排除

A、B。该段最后一句提到仅仅是想象的话不可能把他们变成NBA球星，选项c也不对。

(7) :

D根据题干信息词NBA star定位到文章第三个小标题下的第一段最后一句。即：当然这不会使你成为一名NBA球星，你需要实际练习，但是它能够帮助你加速成功。也就是说练习加上视觉化可能让你变成球星，故选D。

(8) :

replaying negative stuff,根据题干信息词not advisable将本题答案定位于第三个小标题下第二

段。该段倒数第二句讲到：每天视觉化你的成功20分钟，然后花l0个小时用来担心失败、脑海中反复想象负面内容，这是很不明智的。因此这里需要填入replaying negative stuff。(9) :

visualization。根据题干信息词fake it till you make it定位到文章倒数第二段。该段提到：You can also incorporate the“fake it till you make it”method in with your visualization to help speed up the process．即：你

也可以将“装下去直到成功”的方法与视觉化结合起来，这样可以帮助你加快进程。Combine 和incorporate同义，故本题应填visualization。

(10) :

Reality。根据题干信息词it just gets in the way and slows them down定位到文章末段。该段提到：In fact．

successful people don’t care too much for reality；it just gets in the way and slows them down．即：实际上，成功的人并没有更多地关注事实，它只会碍事儿，让他们减速，故本题应填Reality。Part III Listening Comprehension(Section AB)
