ASelf-confidence is an attitude which allows individuals to have positive yet realistic views of themselves and their situations. Self-confident people trust their own abilities, have a general sense of control in their lives, and believe that，within reason, they will be able to do what they wish, plan, and expect. Having self-confidence does not mean that individuals will be able to do everything. Self-confident people have expectations that are realistic. Even when some of their expectations are not met，they continue to be positive and to accept themselves.People who are not self-confident depend too much on the approval of others in order to feel good about themselves. They tend to avoid taking risks because they fear failure. They generally do not expect to be successful. They often put themselves down and tend to ignore compliments（赞美）paid to them By contrast，self-confident people are willing to risk the disapproval of others because they generally trust their own abilities. They tend to accept themselves；they don't feel they have to conform in order to be accepted.Many factors affect the development of self-confidence. Parents' attitudes are crucial(关键性的) to children's feelings about themselves，particularly in children's early years. When parents provide acceptance, children receive a solid foundation for good feelings about themselves. If one or both parents are much to critical or demanding, or if they are overprotective and discourage children's moves toward independence, children may come to believe they are unqualified or inadequate.Surprisingly, lack of self-confidence is not necessarily related to lack of ability. Insteadit is often the result of focusing too much on the unrealistic expectations or standards of others，especially parents and society. Friends' influences can be as powerful or more powerful than those of parents and society in shaping feelings of one's self. Students in their college years reexamine values and develop their own identities and thus are particularly sensitive to the i nfluence of friends.21. Paragraph 1 mainly talks about________.A. the sources of self-confidenceB. the lack of self-confidenceC. the development of self-confidenceD. the benefits of self-confidence22. According to the passage, self-confident people tend to____.A. depend on othersB. control othersC. avoid risksD. be practical23. Which of the following can we learn about self-confidence according to the passage?A. Self-confidence is usually the symbol of special abilities.B. Parents' protection prevents children's self-confidence development.C. Parents and friends matter in building one's self-confidence.D. College students are the least self-confident group in society.24. What might the author most probably continue to talk about in the following passage?A. What one should avoid in building self-confidence.B. Lack of self-confident has many side effects.C. What self-confident children usually get from parents.D. How we can become more acceptable.BIt was graduation day at the university where I work and a beautiful day quite unlike the first graduation I attended as a young professor. On that cold day years ago, as we watched the students walking into the hall, one of my colleagues turned to me and said, "Graduation will be one of the happiest and one of the saddest time of your life. " At my inquiry, he answered, "Because the students you have gotten to know have to leave. " As years went by, my previous confusion about my colleague's words no longer existed. When I came across naughty students, I have had to rethink why I chose to be a teacher. It obviously isn't the money. Once a former computer science student of mine called me,asking me if I wanted to have a change. He was working at Nintendo Corporation. His salary was higher than my current one, though I have more education and have worked for over a decade. With my programming skills, he said he could get me hired. I thanked him, but refused his kind offer.A few days before this current graduation, while working on final grades, I found a note a student had slipped in with her homework. She thanked me for being her teacher and said the things she had learned in my class--not about math, but about life--would be things she would remember long after the math skills had faded away. As I finished reading, I remembered why I had become a teacher.Now, on this sunny graduation day, as I again observed the sea of blue hats and gowns, I did so with renewed dedication and a deeper sense of satisfaction. I will always be grateful that I am a teacher.25. Hearing his colleague's description of graduation for the first time, theauthor______ .A. quite agreed with his colleagueB. was very puzzledC. thought it very funnyD. was very sad26. The computer science student called up the author because he _______ .A. wanted to inform the author of his present jobB. tried to persuade the author to work with himC. wanted the author to share his joy and satisfactionD. thought the author wasn't fit to be a teacher27. The author wrote this passage to _______ .A. express his devotion to being a teacherB. compare two different graduation ceremoniesC. talk about the meaning of graduationD. give advice on how to be a good teacher28. The reason why he earns less than the computer science student is that _______ .A. he was only a young professorB. he didn't do well in his workC. he taught his students more about life than mathD. salaries for different careers are differentCMy husband is reading The Secret Garden aloud to our kids. They are at the part where Mary has told Colin that she’s found the garden her mother loved. It’s an exciting moment. But the passage I’m waiting for is a few chapters on, after Colin has tasted his first breaths of fresh air and Mary has grown strong running in the garden. It’s just a detail, but my kids will notice it: a delicious description of roasted potatoes and eggs.We have a tradition of trying foods from the books we read aloud. It started when we read Elizabeth Enright’s The Saturdays, and one of the boys asked, “What are petit fours?” An answer, my husband and I felt, wouldn’t be as good as a sample. So one Saturday we all sat down having tea and little cakes, covered with pink, green, and yellow. It was exciting for the kids to try a dessert they had learned about in a book. The petit fours they tried didn’t tell them what it was like to live in New York City 60 years ago, but tasting them made the book’s words alive.Later, when we read C.S. Lewis’s The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, we had Turkish delight. We read The Penderwicks, written by Jeanne Birdsall, and had gingerbread (姜饼). We read Paddington Bear and tried marmalade.Soon we will reach the part of The Secret Garden where Mary, Colin, and Dickon roast potatoes and eggs in a small oven (炉) in the earth. My kids will go out into the woods to find the perfect place for an oven of our own. Yes, we’ve eaten potatoes and eggs, but never in the open air.The world that a good book creates is whole and real, but it lies flat on the page until a reader gives life to it.29. The text is written mainly to ______ .A. show the importance of reading aloudB. provide a new means of family educationC. discuss food culture in children’s booksD. introduce some interesting books30. The author believes tasting foods from the books may help children______ .A. understand the books betterB. be friendlier to each otherC. know more about historyD. enjoy more healthy food31. From the four th paragraph, we can learn that the author’s family______ .A. will look for a secret garden in the woodsB. will read The Secret Garden in the open airC. will cook potatoes and eggs in the woodsD. will eat roasted potatoes and eggs at home32. Which of the following could be the best title of the passage?A. The best way to make kids learnB. Eating means more than readingC. The taste of a good bookD. Our roasted potatoes and eggsDThe behavior of a building’s users may be at least as important as its design when it comes to energy use, according to new research from the UK Energy Research Centre (UKERC). The UK promises to reduce its carbon emissions (排放）by 80 percent by 2050, part of which will be achieved by all new homes being zero-carbon by 2016. But this report shows that sustainable building design on its own — though extremely important- is not enough to achieve such reductions: the behavior of the people using the building has to change too. The study suggests that the ways that people use and live in their homes have been largely ignored by existing efforts to improve energy efficiency (效率)，which instead focus on architectural and technological developments.‘Technology is going to assist but it is not going to do ev erything, explains Katy Janda, a UKERC senior researcher，‘consumption patterns of building users can defeat the most careful design. ’In other words，old habits die hard, even in the best-designed eco-home.Another part of the problem is information. Households and bill-payers don’t have the knowledge they need to change their energy-use habits. Without specific information，it’s hard to estimate the costs and benefits of making different choices. Feedback (反馈）facilities, like smart meters and energy monitors，could help bridge this information gap by helping people see how changing their behavior directly affects their energy use; some studies have shown that households can achieve up to 15 percent energy savings using smart meters.Social science research has added a further dimension (方面），suggesting that individuals’ behavior in the home can be personal and cannot be predicted 一 whether people throw open their windows rather than turn down the thermostat (恒温器) , for example.Janda argues that education is the key. She calls for a focused program to teach people about buildings and their own behavior in them.33. As to energy use, the new research from UKERC stresses the importance of________.A. zero-carbon homesB. the behavior of building usersC. sustainable building designD. the reduction of carbon emissions34. The underlined word “which” in Paragraph 2 refers to”________.”A. the waysB. their homesC. developmentsD. existing efforts35. What are Katy Janda’s words mainly abo ut?A. The importance of changing building users, habits.B. The necessity of making a careful building design.C. The variety of consumption patterns of building users.D. The role of technology in improving energy efficiency.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入空白处的最佳选项。
