Fm not going to say luck, talent, and circumstances don't come into play because they do. Some people are born into the right family while others are born with great intelligence, and that's just the reality of how life is.However, to succeed in life, one first needs to set a goal and then gradually make it more practical. And, in addition to that, in order to get really good at something, one needs to spend at least 10,000 hours studying and practicing. To become great at certain things, it'll require even more time, time that most people won't put in.This is a big reason why many successful people advise you to do something you love. If you don't enjoy what you do, it is going to feel like unbearable pain and will likely make you quit well before you ever become good at it.When you see people exhibiting some great skills or having achieved great success, you know that they have put in a huge .part of their life to get there at a huge cost. It's sometimes easy to think they got lucky or they were born with some rare talent, but thinking that way does you no good, and there’s a huge chance that you're wrong anyway.Whatever you do, if you want to become great at it, you need to work day in and day out, almost to the point of addiction, and over a long period of time. If you're hot willing to put in the time and work, don't expect to receive any rewards. Consistent， hard work won't guarantee you the level of success you may want, but it will guarantee that you will become really good at whatever it is you put all that work into.25. What can mainly be learned from Paragraph 1?A. The importance of success.B. The meaning of success.C. The standards of success.D. The reasons for success.26. What does the underlined word “that” refer to in Paragraph 2?A. Succeeding in life.B. Putting in more time.C. Setting a practical goal.D. Being good at something.27. Why do successful people suggest doing what one loves?A. It takes a lot of time to succeed.B. One gives up his work easily.C. One tends to enjoy his work.D.Work makes one feel pain.28. What is the main theme of the passage?A. Having a goal is vital to success.B. One cannot succeed without time and practice.C. Being good is different from being great.D. Luck, talent and family help to achieve success.CEnvironmental health is defined hs the control of the factors (因素）in the environment social well-being (安乐）.that may have harmful effects on people's physical, mental, or Because natural disasters expose people to danger by bringing up or threatening their immediate environment , effective management of environmental health after a natural disaster is of great importance.The environmental health measures that must be considered after a natural disaster include the supply of appropriate shelter for individuals or groups of people left homeless, the distribution (分配）of safe and accessible water, and the protection and distribution of safe food products and so on.To effectively manage environmental health during and after a disaster, it is important that a state of preparation is in effect before the event actually occurs. During an emergency, success largely depends on making good, rapid judgment and appropriate response measures. High-level decision makers, therefore, must be familiar with sound measures beforehand and should be given an accurate judgment of the disaster's specific effects as quickly as possible.This book is intended to serve as a guide for those who may be called upon to make emergency decisions after disaster strikes. The recommended environmental health measures have been listed in the order of priority in which they should be taken during an emergency. However, each natural disaster is unique in the degree or type of emergency. In response to any given disaster, decision makers may find it necessary to change the priority assigned to any particular measure.29. Why is it significant to take effective measures after a natural disaster?A.Victims may be in danger without immediate controls.B.Victims may be at the risk of losing their properties.C.Victims may be exposed to poisonous or radioactive minerals.D.Victims may be threatened by environmental health problems.30.What is the main idea of Paragraph 3?A. Good preparations beforehand are vital,B. Rapid judgment is quite beneficial.C. Effective measures sound familiar.D. Slow responses sound ineffective.31. Whom is the book mainly written for?A. A researcher quite into environment health.B. An organizer to handle domestic disastrous situations.C. A possible decision-maker to handle a disaster emergency.D. A holidaymaker fond of the topic of effective management.32. Which of the following can re place the underlined word “priority” in Paragraph 4?A.Perfection.B. Preference.C. Possibility.D. Popularity-DIf you're trying to lose weight, stress makes changes to your brain chemistry in ways that make it hard to make healthful food choices and maintain self-control, a new study finds.Study volunteers who tolerated a somewhat stressful experience were 24 percent more likely to choose unhealthflul snacks afterward compared with volunteers who hadn't experienced stress.And researchers think they know why brain scans showed that the stressed people had changed neurological (神经系统的）connectivity between regions of the brain that process tastiness y make value judgments and plan for long-term goals.“Being able to regulate and control you r decision-making involves this complex interplay between different areas of your brain, ” said Todd Hare，the senior author of the study published in the journal Neuron. “There's not just one region or node (of thebrain) that turns on and off to establish self-control； they have to all work in unison together. Stress disrupts that synchrony (同步）.”Researchers found that stress changes the way different parts of the brain communicate with one another. A simple way to think of it is like “phone line con nections between the brain regions，” Hare said. “You could have a better or worse signal coming across that connection. ”The hormone cortisol (皮质醇）dialed up the activity from the part of the brain that processes tastiness, and strengthened connections between that area and the part of the brain that manages value judgments and decision-making. “ So you have a region shouting about taste, and it’s coming through loud and clear. Hare said.In addition，the more stress participants felt，the weaker the connections between the part of the brain that deals with long-term planning and the part that manages value judgments and decision-making. This meant their long-term goal of improving their diet was less of a factor in decision about what to eat.33. What may be the best title for the text?A. The more effort the better for a weight-loser.B. The less pressure the better for a weight-loser.C. The less effort the better for one on a diet.D. The more pressure the better for one on a diet.34. Why does a stressed volunteer more likely choose junk snacks?A. Because he has not set a long-term goal of improving his diet.B. Because he makes it hard to make good choices and maintain self-control.C. Because the connections between the related parts of his brain become split.D. Because stress makes ill effects on the communications between related parts of his brain.35. In which section of a magazine can we most possibly read the text?A.Food.B. Medicine.C. Health.D. Lifestyle.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填人空白处的最佳选项。

It made Victor very sad. “Don’t worry. Never give up,” his father said to him. If you have enough patience, you’ll find it one day.” “I hope so,” Victor said.Victor also liked writing. He had a penfriend in France. They wrote to each other every month. Victor’s penfriend, Phillip, usually used new stamps to send letters. Sometimes, his mother gave him stamps to use. Once Phillip’s mother gave him a big, green stamp. It looked old. When Victor received the letter, he was very surprised. On the envelope, he looked carefully at the stamp. It was the 1974 special edition stamp. Victor was so happy. He told his sister, his mother and his father.“ You see,” his father said. “ You did find your stamp. So, it’s good to have two things in life.” “What are they?” Victor asked. “ Friends and patience.” He answered.1.

The passage mainly tells us that ________ is(are) important to people.A. a happy familyB. a good hobbyC. relatives and friendshipD. friends and patience(B)Frank Woolworth was born in Rodman, New York., in 1852. His family were very poor farmers, and there was never enough to eat. Frank decided he did not want to be farmer. He took a shortbusiness course, and went to work as a salesman in a large city.Woolworth realized he had a natural skill for showing goods to attract people’s interest, but he soon learned something more important. One day his boss told him to sell some odds and ends (小商品) for as much as he could get. Frank put all these things on one table with a sign which said FIVE CENTS EACH. People fought and pushed to buy the things and the table was soon cleared. Soon afterwards, Woolworth opened his own store., selling goods at five and ten cents. But he had another lesson to learn before he became successful. That is, if you want to make money by selling low price goods, you have to buy them in large quantities directly form the factories. Once, for example, Woolworth went to Germany and placed an order for knives. The order was so large that the factory had to keep running 24 hours a day for a whole year. In this way, the price of the knives was cut down by half.By 1919, Woolworth had over 1000 stores in the US and Canada , and opened his first store in London . He made many millions and his name became famous throughout the world. He always run his business accord ing to strict rules, of which the most important was: “ THE CUSTOMER IS ALWAYS RIGHT.”5. Frank took a short business course in order to ____________.A. earn more money for his familyB. learn something from a salesmanC. get away from the farmD. get enough to eat.6. Frank sold the odds and ends quickly because _____________.A. he knew how to get people to buy his goods.B. he cut down the price by halfC. he had put the goods on a table in a very nice way.D. the sign he put on the table was well designed.7. The price of the knives was cut down by half because ______________.A. the factory workers worked 24 hours a day.B. knives were ordered in large quantities directly from the factory.C. the knives were made in Germany, where labour (劳动力) was cheap.D. the knives were produced in one factory.8. The belief that : “ The customer is always right” suggests that ________.A. whenever there is a quarrel between the customer and shop assistant, the customers are always right.B. If you want to succeed, the rule is the only way.C. stores must always follow the customer’s orders if they want to make more money.D. stores should do their best to meet the customer’s needs if they want to be successful.(C)After a busy day of work and play, the body needs to rest. Sleep is necessary for good health.During this time, the body recovers from the activities of the previous day. The rest that you get while sleeping makes it possible for your body to prepare itself for the next day.There are four levels of sleep, each being a little deeper than the one before. As you sleep, your body relaxes little by little. Your heart beats more slowly, and your brain slows down. After you reach the fourth level, your body shifts back and forth from one level of sleep to the other. Although your mind slows down, you will dream from time to time. Scientists who study sleep point out that when you are dreaming, your eyeballs begin to move more quickly (although your eyelids are closed). This stage of sleep is called REM, which stands for rapid eye movement. If you have trouble falling asleep, some people suggest breathing very slowly and very deeply. Other people believe that drinking warm milk will make you drowsy. There is also an old suggestion that counting sheep will put you to sleep.9. The text makes us know that not getting enough sleep might make you __.A. suffer form poor healthB. enjoy moreC. dream more oftenD. breathe quickly10. During REM, _______.A. you move restlesslyB. you start dreamingC. your mind stops workingD. your eyeballs move quickly11. The underlined word “drowsy” in the last paragraph probably means____. A. lazy B. sle epy C. relaxed D. pleased12. A good title for this text might be_________.A. DreamsB. SleepC. Good HealthD. Work and Rest(D)“You know, these cups bring to mind a tea quote(说法) I heard.” Mary’s aunt said.She poured tea. There were four of them and there were four totally different cups on the table. They took their tea cups. “What quote?” Mary aske d.“Well, maybe I should rather say it is a story,” aunt said, “I heard that there was a wise teacher who took all his students for tea. They were surprised that all the cups on the table were different.Each of them took a cup and started drinking their tea, each looking at the cups of others. The teacher let them do that for a while and then said,‘Do you notice your behavior? You are all looking at each other’s tea cup and I can see some of you with the broken ones are even envious(羡慕的) of the finer cu ps of others. Is this not so?’ ” The students agreed, amused by their own behavior.“You may have wondered why you all had different cups, but I put them here on purpose. You see they represent (代表) life itself. Life is like that tea and the cups are like the physical circumstances(状况) of your life. You all got the same thing in your cups — tea. And yet you can not truly enjoy it in your envy of another’s cup. It’s just the same with life. You forget to enjoy your own life when you concentrate on envyin g the circumstances of someone else’s life.So now, close your eyes, and taste your own tea. Really taste it. And tell me — did it matter from which cup it came from?”Aunt finished telling her short tea story and they all sat in silence for a while, tasting their tea.A sleepy fly buzzed(嗡嗡作响) past, a bird sang in the tree. And it really did not matter one bit from which tea cup they drank.13. When the students found they had different tea cups, they_____________.A. were satisfied with their own cupB. were angry about the broken cups they had been givenC. asked the teacher to get new cups for themD. were curious about the difference between the cups14.

AIt'll soon be the birthday of one of my closest friends, Susie. I still cannot decide what to give her. She's a rare friend because she has been there for me all the time whenever I need a friend to talk to. I can always depend on her to be the first to arrive to give me advice when I have problems. I guess I am so lucky to have her as a friend.It's more than seven years since I first met Susie in our school. I joined the theater group and she was a director then. At first I thought she was intimidating but in the end I realized that she needed to keep a strict image in order for her actors and actresses to take her seriously. And then during practice I got a chance to know her better. In fact, she was a friendly and warm-hearted person. Soon we become good friends.I don't know exactly what to give my friend on her birthday as I believe she has everything. So it's really hard to buy her a gift she will appreciate.

One day I searched the internet without any purpose and to my surprise there is a really lovely site where you can buy all kinds of gifts.I scanned(浏览) some of their items and I found cool and exciting gifts.

In much of the United States, winter means the return of snow.Snow is a form of frozen water. It contains many groups or very small ice particles called snow crystals(晶体). These crystals grow from water particles in cold clouds. They usually grow around a piece of dust. All snow crystals have six sides, but they grow in different shapes. The shape depends mainly on the temperature and water levels in the air. The shape of a snow crystal may change from one form to another as the crystal passes through levels of air with different temperatures. Snow contains much less water than rain. About seventy-five centimeters of snow has as much water as two and a half centimeters of rain.Generally, the color of snow and ice appears white. This is because the light we see from the sun is white. Most natural materials take in some sunlight. However, when light travels from air to snow, some light is sent back, or reflected(反射). Snow crystals have many surfaces to reflect sunlight. It is this light that gives snow its white color.Much of the water we use comes from snow. Melting snow gives water to rivers and crops. Snowfall helps to protect plants and some wild animals from the cold. Fresh snow is made largely of air which is kept among the snow crystals. Because the air has trouble moving, the movement of heat is greatly reduced. However, snow isresponsible for the deaths of hundreds of people in the United States every year. Many people die in traffic accidents on roads that are covered with snow or ice.28. In the center of a snow crystal there is .A. airB.dustC. waterD. sunlight29. If fifteen centimeters of snow completely melts, the height of water will be .A. 0.5 centimeterB. 1 centimeterC. 1.5 centimetersD. 15centimeters30. According to the text, snow looks white because .A. snow is actually whiteB. the ice particles are whiteC. here is a lot of air in the snowD. the reflection of light makes it look white31.How can snow protect plants from the cold?A. Snow gives them much heat.B. Snow turns into water and waters them.C. Snow makes them keep moving .D. Snow contains air which has trouble moving.DThe world’s native languages are dying out at an unprecedented(空前的) rate, taking with them irreplaceable(不能替代的) knowledge about the natural world, according to a new study.The study identified five global “hot spots” where languages are vanishing faster than anywhere else ---- eastern Siberia, northern Australia, central South America, the US state of Oklahoma and the US Pacific Northwest.“Languages are suffering a global extinction crisis that greatly goes beyond the pace of species extinction,” linguistics(语言学的) professor David Harrison noted, who said half of the world’s 7,000 languages were expected to disappear before the end of the century.Native people had an intimate(详尽的) knowledge of their environment that was lost when their language disappeared, along with other certain things often unfamiliar to us, Harrison stressed. “Most of what we know a bout species and ecosystems is not written down anywhere, it’s only in people’s heads,” he said. “We are seeing in front of our eyes the loss of the human knowledge base.”Harrison was one of a team of linguists who carried out the study. The researchers traveled to Australia this year to study native languages, some of the most endangered. According to Harrison, in Australia, they were heartened to see a woman in her 80s who was one of the only three remaining speakers of the Yawuru language passing on her knowledge to schoolchildren. He said such inter-generational exchanges were the only way native languages could survive. “The children had elected to take this course, no one forced them,” he said. “When we asked them why they were learning it, they s aid,‘This is a dying language, we need to learn it’.” Also, while there they found a man with knowledge of the Amurdag language, which had previously been thought extinct.The researchers said all five of the hot spots identified were areas that had been successfully colonized and where a dominant language such as Spanish or English was threatening native tongues.32.What does this text mainly talk about?A．The knowledge of native languages.B．A study on native languages endangered.C．People’s efforts in saving native languages.D．Harrison and his study on languages.33.The underlined word“vanishing”in the second paragraph can be best replaced by.A．developing B．changing C．increasing D．disappearing34.According to Harrison, language extinction .A．results in lots of worriesB．speeds up the pace of species extinctionC．threatens the existing of Spanish and EnglishD．brings about a loss of knowledge about the environment35.According to the text, native languages were endangered partly because of .A.few researches done on themB.the small population of native peopleC.the strong influence of ruling languagesD.little education native people receive at school三、七选五（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。

People in the village gather in the street to see the bride and if she isn’t in perfect shape, sh e will be publicly criticized. And while women wear the typical white wedding dress，men wear a bush jacket forthe event.

The groom and his family follow and whoever finds her will be the next to get married.In her bouquet, a Welsh bride carries a small tree with shiny green leaves and white flowers that smell nice as a symbol of love，and gives a cutting of the plant to her bridesmaids as well. If the bridesmaid plants the cutting in her yard and it blooms, she will soon marry, according to Welsh tradition.In Czechoslovak, before the wedding, the b ride’s friends traditionally plant a tree in her yard and decorate it with colored ribbons and eggshells, because, according to the legend, the bride will live as long as the tree. Before the marriage vows, a baby is placed in the couple*8 bed to bless their fertility. During the wading ceremony, Czech women surround the bride*, dancing and singing.

There was a lot of late-night noise. It was difficult to find parking. And the rent of the apartment was high. Finally, my husband and I decided to move to the suburb(郊区）outside Boston.We started looking for our new home. It turned out that many other people were also moving to the subuibs and it wasn’t easy to find a nice house there. Finally we went to see a small and dark house. It needfed a lot of work.

There were three big bedrooms and a backyard for my dog. Oh，how lovely the sound of nothing was. I changed the house inch by inch and it became a very comfortable home.We have been in our house for over two years umtil now and it's the best move we have ever made.
