Interviews and investigations __41__ that there are several keys to success that successful people share.First of all, successful people never blame someone or something outside of themselves for their __42__ to go ahead. They realize that their future lies in their own hands. They understand that they cannot __43__ things in life, such as nature, the past and other people. But in the meantime, they are well aware that they can control their own thoughts and actions. They take __44__ for their life and regard this as one of the most empowering things they can do. Perhaps what most __45__ successful people from others is that they live a life “on purpose” ---- they are doing what they believe they are put here to do. In their opinion, having a purpose in their life is the most important element that enables them to become fully __46__ people. They hold that when they live their life on purpose, their main concern is to do the job right. They love what they do ---- and it shows. People want to do business with them because of their commitment (责任心). To live their life on purpose, successful people find a cause they believe in and __47__ a business around it. Besides, they never easily give up. Once they have set up goals in their life, they are __48__ to do whatever it takes to achieve their goals. Rather than seeing it __49__ or depressing they use the knowledge to spur themselves on and go after what they want energetically and passionately.III. Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.The Making of a SurgeonHow does a doctor recognize the point in time when he is finally a “surgeon”? As my year as chief resident (进修医生) drew to a close, I asked myself this question on more than one occasion.The answer, I concluded, was __50__. When you can say to yourself, “There is no surgical patient I cannot treat competently (胜任地), treat just __51__ or better than any other surgeon”-- then, and not until then, you are indeed a surgeon. I was __52__ that point.Take, __53__, the emergency situations that we met almost every night．The first few months of the year I had __54__ the ringing of the telephone. I knew it meant another critical resolution to be __55__. Often, after I had told Walt or Larry what to do in a particular __56__, I’d have trouble getting back to sleep. I’d __57__ all the facts of the case and, often, wonder if I had made a poor decision. More than once at two or three in the morning, after lying __58__ for an hour, I’d get out of bed, dress and drive to the hospital to see the patient myself. It was the only way I could find the __59__ of mind I needed to relax.Now, in the last month of my reside ncy, __60__ was no longer a problem. Sometimes I still couldn’t be sure of my decision, but I had learned to accept this as a __61__ problem for a surgeon. I knew that with my knowledge and experience, any decision I’d made was certain to be a __62__ one. It was a nice feeling.This all sounds conceited (自负的) and I guess it is -- but a surgeon needs conceit. He needs it to encourage him in trying moments when he’s bothered by the __63__ and uncertainties that are part of the practice of medicine. He has to feel that he’s as good as and probably better than any other surgeon in the world. Call it conceit -- call it self-confidence; whatever it was, I had it. And it is, I am sure, what a person has to make a(n) __64__ in life.50. A. self-service B. self-appreciation C. self-respect D. self-confidence51.

Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.AChange is one of the common facts of life. Most of us have seen a number of changes in our own lives from simple things like fashion trends and entertainment to big changes in technology.Language, too, has experienced change and continues to develop. The continuous change is what keeps languages alive.Slang is a way in which languages can transform and are renewed. Slang is the use of informal words and expressions that are not considered standard in a language. Some consider slang to be witty (言辞巧妙的) and clever, adding spice to the informal written and spoken language. Walt Whitman described slang as “the start of imagination and humor, breathing into its nostrils (鼻孔) the breath of life”. However, others criticize its use, believing that it weakens the language.The spoken English language of today’s younger generation is filled with slang words and expressions. These lively words and phrases are an example of how language plants its own seeds of change that develop within social circumstances.Sometimes slang is the use of a word that is already in the standard dictionary, for example, lift (to pick up or raise) is given a new meaning, such as “to steal”; or hunk (a large piece of something) has now become “a handsome man”. Other times, sla ng is an invented word, such as chocoholic, which means “a person who loves chocolate”. Other invented words are mula, which means “money” and airhead, which means “a person who is stupid”.Now, you’ll understand your friends if they say something like, “I was such an airhead to think that I could get away with lifting a whole box of chocolates from the store just because I was all out of mula.”65.What was Whitman’s attitude towards slang?A. He was doubtful about it.B. He thought highly of it.C. He showed no interest in it.D. He was against the use of it.66.The underlined word “spice”in the third paragraph probably means “______”.A. damageB. difficultyC. funD. sugar67.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. “Hunk”is an invented word.B. Slang cannot be found in the dictionary.C. An “airhead”refers to a person out of money.D. People hold different opinions towards slang.68.What’s the main idea of the passage?A. An introduction to slang.B. The change of language.C. The use of slang.D. The origin of slang.BIt’s said that someone somewhere in the world is always eating sushi (寿司). It’s the healthy snack of choice forpeople of all cultures.There are different recipes (食谱) for making sushi. This one is really easy and fun. Try it!69. To make sushi more delicious, you may as well ______.A. pour some green tea into riceB. eat it with a bit soy sauce and wasabiC. add as much wasabi as possible to get a healthy snackD. choose cooked fish rather than fish that are uncooked70. What does this passage mainly discuss?A. Making sushi is easy and funB. popular Japanese fast foodC. Making your own sushiD. There are different recipes for making sushi71. We can infer from the passage that ______.A. Sushi has become a multi-billion industryB. Making sushi is a demanding job for every oneC. Sushi is popular not only in Japan but also in ChinaD. You s hould buy sushi in shops or supermarkets only on people’s recommendationC“To be or not to be.” Outside the Bible, these six words are the most famous in all the literature of the world. They were spoken by Hamlet when he was thinking aloud, and they are the most famous words in Shakespeare because Hamlet was speaking not only for himself but for every thinking man and woman. To be or not to be ---- to live or not to live, to live richly and abundantly (丰富地) and eagerly, or to live dully and meanly and scarcely. A philosopher once wanted to know whether he was alive or not, which is a good question for everyone to put to himself occasionally. He answered it by saying, “I think, therefore I am.”But the be st definition of existence I ever saw was one written by another philosopher who said, “To be is to be in relations.” If this is true, then the more relations a living thing has, the more it is alive. To live abundantly means simpl y to increase the range and intensity (强度) of our relations. Unfortunately, we are so constituted (组成) that we get to love our routine. But other than our regular occupation, how much are we alive? If you are interested only in your regular occupation, you are alive only to that extent. So far as other things are concerned ---- poetry and prose, music,pictures, sports, unselfish friendships, politics, international affairs ---- you are dead.On the contrary, it is true that every time you acquire a new interest ---- even more, a new accomplishment ---- you increase your power of life. No one who is deeply interested in different kinds of subjects can remain unhappy. The real pessimist is the person who has lost interest.Bacon said that a man dies as often as he loses a friend. But we gain new life by contacts with new friends, and new ideas and thoughts, too. Where your thoughts are, there will be your life also. If your thoughts are limited only to your business, only to your physical welfare, only to your narrow circle of the town in which you live, then you live in a narrow restricted life. But if you are interested in the characters of a good novel, then you are living with those highly interested people; if you listen intently (专注地) to fine music, you are always away from immediate surroundings and living in a world of passion and imagination.To be or not to be ---- to live intensely and richly, or merely to exist, depends on ourselves. Let us widen and intensify (增强) our relations. While we live, let us live.72.What does the author mainly want to do by this passage?A. The author wants to argue against an idea.B. The author wants to put forward an idea.C. The author wants to introduce some famous sayings.D. The author wants to explain some famous sayings.73.What does the underlined word “pessimist”most probably mean?A. It means somebody who always expects the worst to happen.B. It means somebody who is always interested in making new friends.C. It means somebody who always lives in a world of passion and imagination.D. It means somebody who likes to live a rich and abundant life.74.Which of the following behaviors is probably encouraged by the author?A. Limiting our thoughts to our business and physical welfareB. Exposing ourselves to new friends,ideas and thoughts.C. Getting along with those highly interested people.D. Living in a world of passion and imagination.75.What is the main idea of the passage?A. To be or not to be,that is a question.B. I think,therefore I am.C. To be is to be in relations.D. A man dies as often as he loses a friend.Section CDirections: Read the following text and choose the most suitable heading from A-F for each paragraph. There is one extra heading which you do not need.A. A tool to analyze tourism competitivenessB. Opportunities from the potential marketsC. A significant contribution to economyD. Distance and policy obstaclesE. Opportunities in existence with challengesF. Natural and cultural draw card76._______Tourism is considered as one of the fastest growing industries in Australia, which contributes significantly to the Australian economy. According to ATC (September 1998), 4.22 million visitors came to Australia in the year ending June, 1998. The main visitors are from Japan, New Zealand and United Kingdom. This paper attempts to analyze whether Australia has the ability to compete successfully with other countries as it enters the new millennium. The analysis will be used as the tool to analyze Australian tourism competitiveness.77._______The most obvious strength of Australia is the diversity of natural and manmade attractions. Aus-tralia has hundreds of national parks, many of which are world heritage listed. Moreover, there are many unique plants and wildlife found nowhere else on earth. Conde Nast Traveller magazine has recently ranked Australia as the best desirable destination for travelers in 1998, with Sydney being chosen as the best city in the world. Another strength of Australia is the friendliness and easygoing attitude of Australian people, which is world-famous. In addition, the mix of Australian population is truly multicultural. This cultural diversity reflects in the diversity of art, entertain-ment, and cuisine found in Australia. Apart from the great mix of culture, Aboriginal culture is also another draw card for Australia. The recent survey found that 80% of European visitors want to see and experience Aboriginal culture when they come to Australia.78._______One of Australia’s inherent weaknesses is its geographical isolation. This means Australia can not position itself as a mass tourism market. However, Australian Tourist Commission attempts to change the perception of distance barrier by promoting Australia as the destinati on that “takes only as long to get to as a flight between West coast United States and Europe”. Restrictive visa policy is another weakness. Australia’s visa policy is against international trend towards more freedom of international travel. In addition, visa fee of $ 50 has been implemented upon the visitors from Asian countries. Visa regulation should be relaxed, at least to allow free entry for citizens of low risk countries, those which have low visa rejection rates and low overstay rates.79._______There are several new emerging markets, which represent a promising opportunity for Australia. These new markets are China, India, Philippines, and South America. China, in particular, is Australia’s most promising market because Australia has recently been awarded official tourism destination status by the Chinese government. In only one year, the number of Chinese tourists has already become the sixth largest market for Australia, with the growth of 25 %. Another op-portunity is from backpackers market, which is becoming more important over time. In addition, they tend to stay longer than most average tourists. According to Office of National Tourismaverage backpackers stay 72 nights in the country. In the year ended March 1997, 255,700 inter-national backpackers visited Australia.80._______According to the SWOT analysis, Australia has capability to compete in the international tourism market for the new millennium. It is apparent that there are many strengths and opportunities ahead to make sure that Australia can secure its competitive position. However, it is important to also recognize that there are some inherent weaknesses and possible threats that could have the impact on Australia’s competitiveness. These issues need to be dealt with so that the overall competitiveness of Australia will be enhanced. Furthermore, to be able to compete in the long run, it is important to make sure that there is a balance between tourism development and environmental protection. It is the beautiful natural environment which draws visitors to Australia in the first place.Section DDirections: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.The poverty line is the minimum income that people need for an acceptable standard of living. People with incomes below the poverty line are considered poor. Economists study the causes of poverty in order to find solutions to the problem.As the general standard of living in the country rises, the poverty line does, too. Therefore, even with today’srelatively high standard of living, about 10 percent of the people in the United States are below the poverty line. However, if these people had stable jobs, they could have an acceptable standard of living. Economists suggest several reasons why poor people do not have jobs.For one thing, more than half of the poor people in the United States are not qualified to work. Over 40 percent of the poor people are children. By law, children less than 16 years old cannot work in many industries. And over 10 percent of the poor people are old. Many companies do not hire people over 65 years old, the normal retirement age.Some poor adults do not look for jobs for a variety of personal reasons: they are sick, they do not have any motivation (动力),they have family problems, or they do not believe that they can find a job.Other poor people look for a job but cannot find one. Many poor adults never went to high school. Therefore, when they look for jobs, they have few skills that they can offer.At the present time, the government thinks it can reduce poverty in the country in the following ways.First, if the national economy grows, businesses and industries hire more workers. Some of the poor who are qualified to look for jobs may find employment. Then they will no longer be below the poverty line.Second, if society invests in the poor, the poor will become more productive. If the government spends money on social programs, education, and training for poor people, the poor will have the skills to offer. Then it is more likely that they can find jobs.Finally, if the government distributes society’s income differently, it raises some poor people above the poverty line. The government collects taxes from the non-poor and gives money to the poor. These payments to the poor are called welfare. In 2010 over 18 million people in the United States received welfare.Some economists are looking for better solutions to the poverty problem. However, at the present time, many people depend on welfare for a minimally acceptable standard of living.(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS.)81. What does the poverty line in a country change with?82. Most of the American poor people are not qualified for employment because _______.83. In order for the poor to have the skills to offer, the government must invest in _______.84. How do those below the poverty line enjoy the existing welfare from the government?第Ⅱ卷（共45分）I.

2013届上海市高三二模英语试题汇编——简答
2013届（2012学年）上海市高三英语二模——简答题（黄浦）Relations between the United States and Spain were not very good in 1898. On February 15, a battleship called the USS Maine blew up and sank in the harbor at Havana, Cuba. More than 260 Americans were killed. Many Americans thought that Spanish saboteurs(破坏者) had set an underwater mine that caused the explosion.Witnesses and survivors had different versions of what happened. Some said that they heard two explosions. It was discovered that the magazine—which is a storage place for arms, ammunition (军火), and explosives—had exploded. Questions were raised about what caused the first explosion. Did the first explosion come from outside the ship, causing the magazine to explode? Or, did something on the ship blow up the magazine?Other witnesses said that there was only one explosion. If they are right, then what on the ship caused the magazine to explode? A theory supporting the two-explosion version was that rebels from Cuba had caused the explosion. The rebels were aware of the bad feelings between the United States and Spain. They would have been willing to cause trouble between the nations to bring an end to Spanish rule in Cuba.The United States government issued an ultimatum (最后通牒) to the Spanish government to end its occupation of Cuba. When Spanish officials refused, Congress and President William McKinley declared war on Spain. The war did not last long, because the United Sates forced an early surrender.More than 100 years after the explosion of Maine, the cause of the explosion is still unknown. Many questions remain. If an attack from outside the ship caused the magazine to explode, why didn‟t witnesses see a splash in the water? Why were there no dead fish in the water if there was an external explosion?With the mystery still unsolved, the question of what really happened to the USS Maine may never be answered.(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN EIGHT WORDS.)81. On February 15, 1898，more than 260 Americans lost their lives because of __________ .82. According to the passage, the “magazine” was used to _________.83. According to the two-explosion version, what‟s the probable purpose of the Cuban rebels tocause the explosion?84. What‟s the main topic of the passage?81. the explosion and sinking of the USS Maine82. store arms, ammunition, and explosives83. To cause trouble and end the Spanish rule/occupation.84. The Mystery of the USS Maine. / The (possible) causes of the USS Maine‟s Explosion（闵行）For anyone who is determined to be a fashion designer, it is not enough to have succeeded in college. The real test is whether they can survive, and become established during their early 20s, making a name for themselves in the real world where business skills can be as important as creativity.Fashion is a hard business. There is a continuous amount of stress because work is at a constant and extremely fast speed to prepare for the next season‟s collections. It is extremely competitive and there is the constant need to make attractive advertisements of the latest fashion in newspapers and magazines. It also requires continual freshness because the appetite for new ideas is hard to satisfy. “We try to warn people before they come to us about how tough it is.” says Lydia Kemeny, the Head of Fashion at St. Martin‟s School of Art in London. “And we point out that drive and determination are absolutely necessary.”This may seem far removed from the popular opinions of fashionable young people spending their time designing pretty dresses. That may well be what they do in their first year of study but a good college won‟t be slow in introducing students to commercial realities. “We don‟t walk our foot on the blossoming flower of creativity but in the second year we start introducing the restrictions of price, producing ability, marketing and so on.”Almost all fashion design is done to a brief. It is not a form of self-expression as such, although there is certainly room for imagination and creativity. Most young designers are going to end up as employees of a producer or a fashion house and they still need to be able to work within the employers‟ characteristic style. Even those who are most modern in their own taste of clothes may need to produce designs which are right for the mainstream of market. They also have to be able to work at both the expensive and the cheap end of the market and the challenge to produce good design inexpensively may well be demanding.(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN 12 WORDS.)81. What are equally important if a fashion designer wants to be successful?82. Why does a fashion designer have to be creative?83. Besides learning to design beautiful dresses, students are also taught _______________.84. According to the last paragraph, ____________________ are the two things fashion designers have to consider when working as employees.81. Business skills and creativity.82. Because consumers‟ needs keep changing / the appetite for new ideas is hard to satisfy.83. commercial realities / the restrictions of price, producing ability, marketing84. the employers‟ characteristic style and the mainstream of market.（浦东）The internal greenhouse effect of a daffodil(水仙花)Early pollinators (授粉昆虫) struggle with cold weather, so it's no wonder that late-winter flowers such as daffodil tend to have extended blooming times and long-lasting flowers, some of which remain open for more than two weeks. When the sun is out, they can offer a warm microenvironment for bees.Although they usually start showing off in the Washington area by late February, blooming times for daffodil are highly variable, depending on variety, weather and planting location. Moisture, tree cover and mineral availability all affect flowering time, but soil temperature tends to have the greatest influence on early-blooming flowers. The microclimate of a south-facing slope will display blooms well before flowers appear in the shadow of a building that gets only a half-day of sun.Once open, the flower can create a microclimate within itself. When sunlight hits a daffodilflower, its tube-shaped corolla acts as a tiny greenhouse, raising temperatures inside a flower as much as 15 degrees higher than the surrounding air.That's good news for small bees, which in late winter have trouble getting warm enough to fly.Bumblebees and honeybees prepare to fly on cold days by exercising their flight muscles to generate heat. But mining bees, which nest in the ground, are less able to do that and are more dependent on surrounding temperatures to warm them up for takeoff.Spanish ecologist Carlos M. Herrera studied the relationship between mining bees and nativedaffodil flowers. The bees he studied could fly only if their internal body temperatures approached 72 degrees, yet they were able to forage(觅食) in 54-degree weather. Basking(取暖) in sunlight on the outside of a warm daffodil bloom was enough to get a bee airborne. Heat from flight muscles could then help keep bees in the air, but they still relied on blossom-basking to supplement their heat needs. Although a bee inside a flower has access to warmth and food, a bee basking atop a flower can more effectively raise its temperature by absorbing heat both from direct sunlight and from the flower below.On those cooler days, bees spent most of their foraging time basking, but "flights between flowers were sometimes interrupted by sudden falls to the ground," Herrera wrote in his 1995 paper. "Fallen bees crawled into some nearby flower and basked before resuming normal foraging."(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in No MORE THAN 12 WORDS.)81. According to the passage, what can help early pollinators to survive cold weather?82. Flowers on a south-facing slope usually open earlier because of ________________.83. What does the “good news for small bees” in paragraph 4 refer to?84. A bee can raise its temperature better at the top of a flower because both ________________ are its sources of warmth.Section D 81. Late-winter flowers‟ extended blooming times./ Late-winter fl owers‟ remaining open for long.82. (high) soil temperature83. The flower can create a microclimate within itself once open./The temperatures inside flowers can be much higher than the surrounding air.84. (direct) sunlight and the flower below（普陀）Strategy experts Michael J. Borland and Douglas E. Schoen recently went in search of the inner qualities that make a leader a success. Through extensive research, they found that these people are excellent in their fields through personal drive, determined behaviors and the self-awareness to know who they are and what they want. While interviewing some of today's most successful people, Bed and and Schoen learned that success comes to individuals if those have mastered their own identities.After examining dozens of successful business leaders, political figures, sports legends and artists, the authors identified two distinct “archetypes” (典型）that are each made up of a set of consistent characteristics that place their skills, strengths, weaknesses and personalities apart from the others.The first archetype is the Natural-Born Leader. These people find great satisfaction in taking charge of complex challenges. Their confidence and abilities define them as individuals who know they will succeed as they face any difficulty. Berland and Schoen explain that these people exhibit self-confidence, big-picture thinking, a take-charge personality, an inspirational and motivational spirit and a helpful approach as they boost up those around them. If you are a Natural-Born Leader, you always have to be the best in school, at playing sports and in doing business. You have to do things first and fastest, and you enjoy moving up the corporate ladder.The second archetype is the Independence Seeker. Berland and Schoen have found these people have two obvious features, They share the common mental characteristics. For instance, people in this group are always trying to come up with a better way to do things, have the self-confidence to do whatever they need to do to reach their goals, are willing to take risks when they see an opportunity, have a "restless spirit" that appears in the form of new goals, and "don't take themselves too seriously." However, when it comes to working, they just want what they want, and they also hope that their achievements will be recognized.(Note:Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS.)81.The purpose of Berland and Schoen‟s research is to __________.82.What is the leading factor that helps individuals to be successful according to Berland andSchoen?83.How will a Natural-Born Leader feel when he is told to finish some challenging tasks?84.Berland and Schoen have studied Independent Seekers in the two aspects: __________.81. search for the inner qualities of successful persons82. Mastering his/her own identities.83. Satisfied.84. Inner qualities and work attitude.（徐汇金山松江）It is estimated that around of the approximately six thousand languages that are spoken today, over three thousand of them are likely to have disappeared by the year 2100. Many of these are now classified as endangered languages and are classified as such by factors such as the number of speakers a language has, the age of the speakers, and the percentage of the youngest generation acquiring fluency in the language. For example, a language with many tens of thousands of speakers may be considered endangered if the children in the community are no longer learning the language. This scenario (情节) may happen in a place like Indonesia which as many different languages in use, but is trying to make communication easier by teaching a national language nation-wide. In another scenario, a language may only have a few hundred speakers but may not be considered endangered because all of the children in the community are learning the language.Once a language is classified as endangered, conservation efforts may be made in an attempt to revive the language. Whether or not to make such efforts is a decision which is ultimately made by the speakers of the language themselves, but success often requires a great deal of help and approval from the government or other authorities.One of the most famous language conservation success stories is that of the Welsh language. Historically, large numbers of Welsh people spoke only Welsh, but eventually English became the main language of Wales and fewer and fewer people learned Welsh. Conservation efforts began to be made in the mid-20th century with the establishment of such organizations as the Welsh Language Association in 1962. The Welsh Language Act and the Government of Wales Act, both passed in the 1990s, protected the Welsh language and made sure that English and Welsh would have equal status in Wales. Since 2000, the study of the Welsh language has been a compulsory subject in school. Today, over 22% of the population of Wales are Welsh speakers, up from 18% in 1991.81. What factors are taken into consideration when we classify languages as endangered ones,besides the number and the age of the speakers?82. One of the reasons why some languages go declining in Indonesia is___________________83. The word “ revive” in Para 2, most probably means …_______________________‟.84. What does the example of the Welsh language try to tell us?(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS.)81. The percentage of young people among speakers.82. to make communication easier/to teach a national language nation-wide81. bring sth. back to life / bring sth. back into use / save82. An endangered language can be saved by conservation efforts.（杨浦）America's National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration is celebrating the one year anniversary of its Weather-Ready Nation project. Weather experts from across the United States have been working to improve the way the country reacts to extreme weather. They way scientific progress has made weather forecasts, or predictions, better than ever. But, they say the cost of severe weather on life and property is still too high.NOAA says a new generation of equipment has already made its global numerical weather prediction system nearly three times faster in the past seven months. This is expected to improve NOAA's forecast models.Scientist and weather experts have launched a similar effort in the Philippines. It is called Project NOAH 一the Nationwide Operational Assessment of Hazards (危害).Mahar Lagmay is the head of Project NOAH. He says his country needs high-resolution imaging to predict when and where natural disasters will strike"To be able to construct hazard maps you need very high resolution topography. To do the simulations of floods you do need high resolution topography."He also ways these images will be used to create smaller area maps, which will shape how people react to natural disasters."By doing local scale, or community scale maps, people can relate with the problem because they see their houses, they see their neighbor's houses, the bridge in their community, and the river in their community in relation to the hazards 一the flood hazards in particular"Geologist Carlos Primo David also works with Project NOAH. He says the group depends onsatellites, Doppler radar and hundreds of rain gauges (计里器）across the country. He says the resulting forecasts are very detailed, and can even predict the intensity of rainfall.The Philippine state weather agency used rainfall information from Project NOAH when Manila flooded in August. The weather agency also re-broadcast its warnings on the social networking website Twitter. And a color coded warning system was also put in place Mahar Lagmay says the project passed its first test. He says the government used the information to move people to safety."Relatively it was successful because what we wanted to avoid was mass death." He says now the government has to get people to take severe weather events more seriously, and to actively prepare for the worst.(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TWELVE WORDS.)81. The aim of the Weather-Ready Nation project is to improve the nation's reaction to extremeweather and reduce ______________.82. What's the equipment used in predicting intensity of rainfall?83.

The study followed a group of around 1,000 children born in the New Zealand city of Dunedin in 1972-1973. Every two years between the ages of 5 and 15, they were asked how much television they watched. Those who watched more television were more likely to have a criminal conviction and were also more likely to have antisocial personality traits in adulthood.The study found that the risk of having a criminal behavior by early adulthood increased by about 30% with every hour that children spent watching TV on an average weeknight.The study also found that watching more television in childhood was associated, in adulthood, with aggressive personality, an increased tendency to experience negative emotions, and an increased risk of antisocial personality disorder; a psychiatric disorder characterised by persistent patterns of aggressive and antisocial behavior.The researchers found that the relationship between TV viewing and antisocial behavior was not explained by socio-economic status, aggressive or antisocial behavior in early childhood, or parenting factors.A study co-author, Lindsay Robertson, says it is not that children who were already antisocial watched more television. “Rather, children who watched a lot of television were likely to go on to manifest anti social behavior and personality traits.”Other studies have suggested a link between television viewing and antisocial behavior, though very few have been able to demonstrate a cause-and-effect sequence. This is the first …real-life‟ study that has asked a bout TV viewing throughout the whole childhood period, and has looked at a range of antisocial outcomes in adulthood. As an observational study, it cannot prove that watching too much television caused the antisocial outcomes, but the findings are consistent with most of the research and provides further evidence that excessive television can have long-term consequences for behavior.Antisocial behavior is a major problem for society. While we‟re not saying that television causes all antisocial behavior, our findings do suggest that reducing TV viewing could go some way towards reducing rates of antisocial behavior in society,” says Associate Professor Hancox.The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that children should watch no more than 1 to 2 hours of quality television programming each day. The researchers say their findings support the idea that parents should try to limit their children's television use.(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS.)81.

Weather experts from across the United Stateshave been working to improve the way the country reacts to extreme weather. They way scientificprogress has made weather forecasts, or predictions, better than ever. But, they say the cost ofsevere weather on life and property is still too high.NOAA says a new generation of equipment has already made its global numerical weather prediction system nearly three times faster in the past seven months. This is expected to improve NOAA's forecast models.Scientist and weather experts have launched a similar effort in the Philippines. It is called Project NOAH 一the Nationwide Operational Assessment of Hazards (危害).Mahar Lagmay is the head of Project NOAH. He says his country needs high-resolution imaging to predict when and where natural disasters will strike"To be able to construct hazard maps you need very high resolution topography. To do the simulations of floods you do need high resolution topography."He also ways these images will be used to create smaller area maps, which will shape how people react to natural disasters."By doing local scale, or community scale maps, people can relate with the problem because they see their houses, they see their neighbor's houses, the bridge in their community, and the river in their community in relation to the hazards 一the flood hazards in particular"Geologist Carlos Primo David also works with Project NOAH. He says the group depends on satellites, Doppler radar and hundreds of rain gauges (计里器）across the country. He says the resulting forecasts are very detailed, and can even predict the intensity of rainfall.The Philippine state weather agency used rainfall information from Project NOAH when Manila flooded in August. The weather agency also re-broadcast its warnings on the social networking website Twitter. And a color coded warning system was also put in place Mahar Lagmay says the project passed its first test. He says the government used the information to move people to safety."Relatively it was successful because what we wanted to avoid was mass death." He says now the government has to get people to take severe weather events more seriously, and to actively prepare for the worst.(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TWELVE WORDS.)81. The aim of the Weather-Ready Nation project is to improve the nation's reaction to extremeweather and reduce ______________.82. What's the equipment used in predicting intensity of rainfall?83.

However in America,it is resource-consuming." Though the remarks seem like jokes,real data support the point. Medicare statistics, for example, reveal that we Americans lead the world in the amount of medical services used during the last six months of a person's life.Senior citizens here are big consumers of healthcare ,using ambulances three times as often as seniors mercial insurance data point to similar patterns in the healthcare of the younger population too, a ground few would argue against.What explains such a phenomenon? There is plenty of blame to go around.Both physicians and patients have referred to a "more is better "approach that adds cost without necessarily leading to better outcomes.In the past, doctors in fee-for -service systems have been suspected of doing too much testing to generate more income. Now new networks track doctors' treating record in the hope to discourage unnecessary testing. Patients, on the other hand ,are worried about denial of services.Doctors can find themselves caught in a bind between anxious and worrying patients and insurance networks that dismiss doctors with inefficient practice patterns.Upset factors,such as malpractice concerns and falling fees ,among which the worsening doctor-patient relationship tops the ranking list-are contributing to the nation's increasing shortage of primary-care doctors.Is there a better way to do this, without limiting a patient's choice or lowering the quality of healthcare?One solution is that we can introduce care organizations, which have the goal of improving both patients' health outcomes and the efficient use of resources. Like an HMO, this new kind of care organization involves networks of doctors, hospitals and patients. By carefully balancing care among doctors computerized medical records to identify the appropriate use of services, it encourages preventive care and measure quality.Given the obvious benefits during its pilot time, we are also encouraged to look at the program called Choosing Wisely .The program is aimed at encouraging both physicians and patients, with the help of professional model ,to carefully consider the wisdom of medical procedures. In most cases ,useless procedures are not only wasting money, but also subjecting patients to additional risk without the potential ti improve their health.(NOTE: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS.)mercial insurance data are mentioned in the first paragraph to show that ________.82.Patients'________attitude towards medical care caused today's overtreatment.83.What is the leading reason for lack of primary-care doctors?84.What are the two methods to fight the environment problem?81. the young are big consumers of healthcare too82. “More is better”83.

Katrina Leupp, a researcher, suggests that rather than trying to do everything themselves, working women should get family members or others to help with the housework and not feel guilty about leaving work early when family duty calls. High earners can follow the lead of actress Anna Friel, who let out her secret to dealing with work and being a mother at the same time ---employing two maids.A researcher from the University of Washington said: “Employment is beneficial for women‟s health, even when differences in marital (婚姻的) satisfaction and working full-or part-time are ruled out.” But the analysis also found that not all working mothers are equally happy. The women with “supermom” attitudes as young adults showed more signs of depression, the American Sociological Society‟s annual conference stated. Women who try to do it all without any help are more likely to feel they are failures when things do not go to plan. Very often they may be drowned in tiredness. Lack of any “me time” could also be an issue. However, she stressed that working women--- including super mums --- generally still a lower risk of depression than stay-at-home mothers, adding:” But for better mental health, working mums should accept that they can‟t do it all.”Pam Spurr, a life coach and mother-of-two, said working women don‟t have to feel ashamed to take a career break when they have kids to take care of or cut back on time in the office. She said:”We need to accept that we are only human and can‟t do it all.”(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statement in NO MORE THAN THE WORDS.)81. According to a recent study, in order not to be depressed, working mothers _______________.82. How should working women deal with career and family according to Katrina Leupp?83.

Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)A voyaging ship was wrecked during a storm at sea and only two of the men aboard were able to swim to a small, desert-like island. Not knowing what else to do, the two survivors agreed that they had no alternativethan to pray to God.However, to find out whose prayers were more powerful, they agreed to divide the territory between them and stay on opposite sides of the island.The first thing they prayed for was food. The next morning, the first man saw a fruit-bearing tree on his side of the island, and he was able to eat its fruit. But the other man’s parcel of land remained barren.After a week, the first man became lonely and decided to pray for a wife. The next day, another ship was wrecked and the only survivor was a woman who swam to his side of the island. But on the other side of the island, there was nothing.Soon thereafter the first man prayed for a house, clothes and more food. The next day, like magic, all of these things were given to him. However, the second man still had nothing.Finally, the first man prayed for a ship so that he and his wife could leave the island, and in the morning he found a ship docked at his side of the island.The first man boarded the ship with his wife and decided to leave the second man on the island, considering the other man unworthy to receive God’s blessings since none of his prayers had been answered.As the ship was about to leave, the first man heard a voice from Heaven booming, “Why are you leaving your companion on the island?”“My blessings are mine alone since I was the one who prayed for them,” the first man answered. “His prayers were all unanswered and so he doesn’t deserve anything.”“You are mistaken!” the voice rebuked him. “He had only one prayer, which I answered. If not for that, you would not have received any of my blessings.”“Tell me,” the first man asked the voice, “what did he pray for that I should owe him anything?”“He prayed that all your prayers would be answered.”For all we know, our blessings are not the fruits of our prayers alone, but those of another praying for us. So what you do for others is more important than what you do for yourself.65. The first man’s wife is _____.A. a swimmer who got to the island by accidentB. an angel sent by God to keep him companyC. a survivor from another wrecked shipD. a native person on the desert-like island66.

He met with a bipartisan (concerning or involving two different political parties) group of lawmakers on Capitol Hill. Later he met individually with Democratic and Republican House and Senate leaders and spoke to a bipartisan leadership gathering. In comments to reporters early on Monday, he emphasized the urgency of finalizing economic legislation(立法). “We have got an extraordinary economic challenge ahead of us,” he said, “We are expecting a sobering job report at the end of the week. Nancy Pelosi and her staff have been extraordinarily helpful in working with our team so that we can shape an economic recovery and reinvestment plan that starts putting people back to work.”Mr. Obama wants tax cuts for individual Americans and businesses to make up a significant portion of expected legislation. This could involve as much as $300 billion of a bill that is likely to go beyond $700 billion and include aid to cash-poor U.S. states, and money for alternative energy and a range of infrastructure(基础设施) projects. Later, Mr. Obama said he expects to be able to sign legislation as soon as the end of this month, adding that quick action is necessary to “break the drive of the U.S. economic depression”.Emerging later from bipartisan talks with Mr. Obama, Nancy Pelosi said lawmakers discussed with the president how to pass a stimulus package as quickly as possible. “An economic recovery package that will create jobs immediately an d will grow the economy and that is what we talked about today,” said Nancy Pelosi. “How we could do this fast, deliberatively and to act upon it soon.” Just how soon that would be, Pelosi would not say.How much support Democrats can obtain from Republicans will depend on the details. But the severity of the U.S. economic depression has created considerable bipartisan backing for quick action. Senate Majority Leader, Harry Reid said: “There are investments that we need to make on behalf of the American people to turn around this economy. We felt very good about the meeting; we are confident that we can do this and we have to do this.”“I think the best thing I can do is to decline to comment on what they are going to do going forward,” said Dana Perino. “Ob viously, we think that tax cuts were the right way to help our economy get out of the economic depression that this president inherited and we know that tax cuts can stimulate innovation.” Asked by reporters how large the economic stimulus package might be, Senate Majority Leader Reid said Obama indicated that all but one of some 28 economists advising him had said it should range from $800 billion to $1.3 trillion.72. Barack Obama urged congressional leaders and met with bipartisan leaders to _____.A. take over the White HouseB. end economic declineC. understand each other betterD. negotiate political issues73.

W hat is the bipartisan leaders’ attitude towards this meeting?A. Uncertain.B. Hopeful.C. Disappointed.D. Indifferent.75. What can we infer from the passage?A. The best way out of the economic depression is tax cuts.B. The Republic Party plays the key role in coping with the economic depression.C. Democrats and Republicans will team up in the economic depression.D. When the stimulus package will be passed is known to the lawmakers. Section C76many do not know that indoor air pollution can also have significant health effects. Environmental Protection Agency studies indicate that indoor levels of pollutants may be 2-5 times, and occasionally more than 100 times, higher than outdoor levels. These levels of indoor air pollutants may be of particular concern because most people spend about 90% of their time indoors.indoor air pollution in any home. These include combustion sources such as oil, gas, coal, wood, and tobacco products; building materials and furnishings as diverse as deteriorated asbestos-containing insulation, wet or damp carpet, and cabinetry or furniture made of certain pressed wood products; products for household cleaning and maintenance, personal care, or hobbies; central heating and cooling systems and humidification devices; and outdoor sources such as radon, pesticides, and outdoor air pollution.These include irritation of the eyes, nose, and throat, headaches, dizziness, and fatigue. Such immediate effects are usually short-term and treatable. Sometimes the treatment is simply eliminating the person's exposure to the source of thepollution, if it can be identified. Symptoms of some diseases, including asthma, hypersensitivity and fever, may also show up soon after exposure to some indoor air pollutants.factors. Age and pre-existing medical conditions are two important influences. In other cases, whether a person reacts to a pollutant depends on individual sensitivity, which varies tremendously from person to person. Some people can become sensitized to biological pollutants after repeated exposures, and it appears that some people can become sensitized to chemical pollutants as well.so it is often difficult to determine if the symptoms are a result of exposure to indoor air pollution. For this reason, it is important to pay attention to the time and place the symptoms occur. If the symptoms fade or go away when a person is away from the home and return when the person returns, an effort should be made to identify indoor air sources that may be possible causes.Section DChildren and adolescents who watch a lot of television are more likely to have antisocial and criminal behavior when they become adults, according to a new University of Otago, New Zealand, study published online in the journal Pediatrics. The study followed a group of around 1,000 children born in the New Zealand city of Dunedin in 1972-1973. Every two years between the ages of 5 and 15, they were asked how much television they watched. Those who watched more television were more likely to have a criminal conviction and were also more likely to have antisocial personality traits in adulthood.The study found that the risk of having a criminal behavior by early adulthood increased by about 30% with every hour that children spent watching TV on an average weeknight.The study also found that watching more television in childhood was associated, in adulthood, with aggressive personality, an increased tendency to experience negative emotions, and an increased risk of antisocial personality disorder; a psychiatric disorder characterised by persistent patterns of aggressive and antisocial behavior.The researchers found that the relationship between TV viewing and antisocial behavior was not explained by socio-economic status, aggressive or antisocial behavior in early childhood, or parenting factors.A study co-author, Lindsay Robertson, says it is not that children who were already antisocial watched more television. “Rather, children who watched a lot of television were likely to go on to manifest antisocial beh avior and personality traits.”Other studies have suggested a link between television viewing and antisocial behavior, though very few have been able to demonstrate a cause-and-effect sequence. This is the first ‘real-life’ study that has asked about TV vi ewing throughout the whole childhood period, and has looked at a range of antisocial outcomes in adulthood. As an observational study, it cannot prove that watching too much television caused the antisocial outcomes, but the findings are consistent with most of the research and provides further evidence that excessive television can have long-term consequences for behavior.Antisocial behavior is a major problem for society. While we’re not saying that television causes all antisocial behavior, our findings do suggest that reducing TV viewing could go some way towards reducing rates of antisocial behavior in society,” says Associate Professor Hancox.The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that children should watch no more than 1 to 2 hours of quality television programming each day. The researchers say their findings support the idea that parents should try to limit their children’s television use.(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS.)81.

But can GM technology solve world hunger problems? Even if it would, is it the best solution?Despite what it promises, GM technology actually has not increased the production potential of any crop. In fact, studies show that the most widely grown GM crop, GM soybeans, has suffered __42__ productivity. For instance, a report that analyzed nearly two decades of research on major GM food crops shows that GM engineering has failed to significantly increase US crop production.Something else, however, has been on the rise. While GM seeds are __43__, GM companies tell farmers that they will make good profits by saving money on pesticides(杀虫剂). On the contrary, US government data show that GM crops in the US have produced an overall increase in pesticide use __44__ to traditional crops. “The promise was that you could use less chemicals and __45__ production. But nei ther is true,” said Bill Christiso n, President of the US National Farm Coalition.At the same time, the authors of the book World Hunger: Twelve Myths argue that there actually is more than enough food in the world and that the hunger crisis is not caused by production, but by problems in food distribution and __46__. These indeed __47__ our efforts and money. Meanwhile, the rise in food prices results from the increased use of crops for fuel rather than food, according to a World Bank report.As a matter of fact, scientists see better ways to __48__ the world. Another World Bank report concluded that GM crops have little to offer to the challenges of worldwide poverty and hunger, because better ways out are __49 __, among which “green” farming is supposed to be the first choice.III. Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.For many parents, raising a teenager is like fighting a long war, but years go by without any clear winner. Like a border conflict between neighboring countries, the parent-teen war is about boundaries: Where is the line between what I __50__ and what you do?Both sides want peace, but neither feels it has any power to stop the __51__. In part, this is because neither is willing to admit any responsibility for __52__. From the parents’ point of view, the only cause of their fight is their adolescents’ complete unreasonableness. And of course, the teens see it in exactly the same way, except__53__ . Both feel trapped.In this article, I’ll describe three no-win situations that commonly __54__ between teens and parents and then suggest some ways out of the trap. The first no-win situation is quarrels over __55__ things. Examples include the color of the teen’s hair, the cleanliness of the bedroom, the __56__ style of clothing, the child’s __57__ to eat a good breakfast before school, or his __58__ to sleep until noon on the weekends. Second, __59__. The goal of a blaming battle is to make the other admit that his bad attitude is the reason why everything goes wrong. Third, needing to be __60__. It doesn’t matter what the __61__ is —politics, the laws of physics ,or the proper way to break an egg —the point of these __62__ is to prove that you are right and the other person is wrong, for both wish to be considered an __63__—someone who actually knows something —and therefore to command__64__. Unfortunately, as long as parents and teens continue to assume that they know more than the other, they’ll continue to fight these battles forever and never make any real progress.50.A. display B. control C. forgive D. motivate51.A. pressure B. intention C. conflict D. misunderstanding52.A. starting B. recognizing C. indentify D. releasing53.A. occasionally B. completely C. precisely D. oppositely54.A. loss B. arise C. decline D. obtain55.A. unimportant B. unique C. specific D. significant56.A. reasonable B. preferred C. changeable D. granted57.A. desire B. attempt C. passion D. failure58.A. willingness B. right C. tendency D. promise59.A. blaming B. gossiping C. shouting D. commanding60.A. powerful B. knowledgeable C. instructive D. right61.A. question B. topic C. hint D. article62.A. problems B. difference C. arguments D. obstacles63.A. authority B. instructor C. opponent D. advisor64.A. information B. image C. knowledge D. respectSection BDirections:Read the following four passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, and C. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)Does it feel right?This is an excerpt from Oprah Winfrey’s 2008 Stanford Commencement (毕业典礼) Address:A year after I left college, I was given the opportunity to co-anchor (共同主持) the 6 o’clock news in Baltimore…Yet, it didn’t feel right. The first sign, as President Hennessy was saying, was when they tried to change my name. T he news director said to me at the time: “Nobody’s going to remember Oprah. So, we want to change your name. We’ve come up with a name we think that people will remember and people will like. It’s a friendly name: Suzie.”… I grew up not loving the name, but once I was asked to change it, I thought, well, it is my name and do I look like a Suzie to you? So, I thought, no, it doesn’t feel right. I’m not going to change my name. And if people remember it or not, that’s OK.And then they said they didn’t like the way I looked… So, they sent me to a salon where they gave me a perm (烫发), and after a few days all my hair fell out and I had to shave my head. And then they really didn’t like the way I looked, because now I am black and bald and sitting on TV. Not a pretty picture.But even worse than being bald, I really hated, hated, hated being sent to report on other people’s tragedies as a part of my daily duty, knowing that I was just expected to observe, when everything in my instinct told me that I should be doing something, (and that) I should be lending a hand…It felt right. And that’s where everything that followed for me began. And after eight months, I lost that job. They said I was too emotional. I was too much. But since they didn’t want to p ay out the contract, they put me on a talk show in Baltimore. And the moment I sat down on that show, the moment I did, I felt like I’d come home. I realized that TV could be more than just a playground, but a platform for service, for helping other people’s lives improve. And the moment I sat down, doing that talk show, it felt like breathing.And I got that lesson. When you’re doing the work you’re meant to do, it feels right and every day is a bonus (意外收获), regardless of what you’re getting paid.65. Why did Oprah refuse to change her name to Suzie?A. She wanted to be herself.B. It would be inconvenient.C. The name Suzie was too ordinary.D. She was fond of her own name.66. What was the most important reason for why Oprah hated her job reporting the news?A. Reporting tragedies all day made her sad.B. She didn’t like just standing around and talking.C. She hoped she could decide what to report.D. She was asked to change her name and shave her hair off.67. What does “that lesson” in the last par agraph refer to?A. Listening to your heart.B. A good beginning makes a good ending.C. Don’t hesitate to find a better job.D. Helping people improve.68. Which of the following best describes Oprah?A. Understanding and optimistic.B. Careful and considerate.C. Persuasive and emotional.D. Determined and sympathetic.(B)We have designed all our bank cards to make your life easier.How to use your NatWest ServicecardAs a Switch card, it lets you pay for all sorts of goods and services, wherever you see the Switch logo.

But it also leads to a fossil fuel. Natural gas is considered the cleanest of the fossil fuels, the fuels created by plant and animal remains over millions of years.Burning it releases fewer pollutants than oil or coal. The gas is mainly methane(甲烷). It produces half the carbon dioxide of other fossil fuels. So it may help cut the production of carbon gases linked to climate change.Russia is first in what are called "proved reserves" of natural gas. The United States is sixth. Over the years, big oil and gas companies recovered much of the easily reached supplies of gas in America. They drilled straight down into formations where gas collects. As these supplies were used up, big drillers looked for similar formations in other countries.But now the industry is taking a new look. Companies are developing gas supplies trapped in shale rock two to three thousand meters underground. They drill down to the shale (页岩), then go sideways and inject high-pressure water, sand or other material into the rock. This causes the rock to break, or fracture, releasing the gas. Huge fields of gas shale are believed to lie under the Appalachian Mountains, Michigan and the south-central states.Gas shale exploration is being done mainly by small to medium sized companies. Eric Potter is a program director in the Bureau of Economic Geology at the University of Texas at Austin.ERIC POTTER: "The types of opportunities that are left for natural gas exploration in the U.S. have changed. So it's a different class of resource -- not as easy to develop, and not even recognized as something worth pursuing, say, twenty years ago."He says more than half the gas in the United States is now coming from these new reserves.But hydraulic fracturing can also produce debate and anger over the risk of groundwater pollution. This method of drilling is not federally supervised under the Safe Drinking Water Act. Some in Congress want to end that exemption (免除) from the law.Natural gas provides Americans with about one-fourth of their energy. And, unlike oil, most of it is produced in America. Gas producers invested heavily in reaching new supplies when prices were high. But prices are down sharply now because the recession(经济衰退) cut demand for energy. So energy expert Eric Potter says it is too early to know how the new gas shale reserves will affect the market.72. Which of the following statements is TRUE about fossil fuels?A. Fossil fuels are a kind of renewable resource just like sun, wind and water.B. Burning natural gas releases more pollutants than oil or coal.C. Fossil fuels were created millions of years ago by plant and animal remains.D. Using fossil fuels may help change the climate.73. What does the writer mean by saying “now the industry is taking a new look”?A. The U.S. will be ranked first in natural gas because it has huge fields of gas shale.B. People gain natural gas from shale rock using a method different from the traditional ones.C. Gas shale exploration will bring human beings abundant supply of natural gas.D. There should be no concern over the energy shortage because the industry is developing.74. When did gas producers invest heavily in finding new supplies of natural gas?A. When people’s demand for energy increased.B. When natural gas provided Americans with about one-fourth their energy.C. When Americans began to look for cleaner energyD. When the economy was in recession.75. Which one is TRUE about gas shale exploration?A. It is against the Safe Drinking Water Act.B. It was considered not worth doing twenty years ago.C. It will release pollutants to the water.D. It will bring down the price of natural gas.Section CDirections:Read the following text and choose the most suitable heading from A-F for each paragraph. There is one extra heading which you do not need.A. Relocate the meaning of life.B. Say goodbye to guilt and regret.C. Avoid repetition.D. Do something new.AB. Give to get.AC. Put yourself in the fun zone.Five Secrets of High-Energy People76.Very little that’s new occurs in our lives. The impact of this sameness on our emotional energy is gradual, but huge: It’s like a tire with a slow leak. You don’t notice it at first, but eventually you’ll get a flat. Here’s a challenge: If it’s something you wouldn’t ordinarily do, do it. Try a dish you’ve never eaten. Listen to music you’d ordinarily tune out. You’ll dis cover these small things add to your emotional energy.77.The first step in solving this meaning shortage is to figure out what you really care about, and then do something about it. A case in point is Ivy, 57, a pioneer in investment banking. “I mista kenly believed that all the money I made would mean something,” she says. “But I feel lost, like a 22-year-old wondering what to do with her life.”Ivy’s solution? She started a program that shows Wall Streeters how to donate time and money to poor children. In the process, Ivy filled her life with meaning.78.Most of us grown-ups live a dull life. High-energy people have the same day-to-day work as the rest of us, but they manage to find something enjoyable in every situation. A real estate broker I know keeps herself amused on the job by mentally redecorating the houses she shows to clients. “I love imagining what even the most run-down house could look like with a little tender loving care,” she says. “It’s a challenge—and the least desirable propertie s are usually the most fun.”79.Everyone’s past is filled with regrets that still cause pain. But from an emotional energy point of view, they are dead weights that keep us from moving forward. While they can’t merely be willed away, I do recommend you remind yourself that whatever happened is in the past, and nothing can change that. Holding on to the memory only allows the damage to continue into the present.80.Emotional energy has a kind of magical quality; the more you give, the more you get back. This is the difference between emotional and physical energy. With the latter, you have to get it to be able to give it. With the former, however, you get it by giving it. After all, if it’s true that whatgoes around comes around, why not make sure that what’s circulating around you is the good stuff?Section DDirections:Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.Many of the problems facing today’s world aren’t news to us. The en vironment is in dire need of help because it’s being damaged, hunger is widespread throughout the world, and workers in third world countries are continuously being exploited. Therefore, individuals across the globe need to band together for a cause and use their collective efforts to make all the difference in the world.For instance, one person recycling a can or a bottle doesn’t seem like much. But if every household in a given city were to recycle and conserve energy, that city could make a huge positive impact on environmental damage. Similarly, there are countless ways to help fight world hunger—whether it’s to donate money to a dedicated worldwide charity, donate canned goods to your local charity, or even make lifestyle changes like going vegetarian. World hunger is a massive problem—but it doesn’t mean individuals themselves can’t make a difference.Worker exploitation is another huge problem. All across the world—particularly in third world countries—workers are forced to labor long hours, with close to no pay. Yet these workers continue to show up to such a way of life, because they have no other options.So, how can people like us help fight such a big problem? Simply raising awareness of the products you buy in stores—from clothing to food—is a massive start. For example, if you see two similar products side by side in a food shop, but one of them is labeled “fair trade”，you’ll know immediately that the workers who labored to produce that product were given a fair price for their goods. And true, fair trade products might cost a little bit more, but buying them is a significant start to help fight worker exploitation.In short, each of us should be socially conscious to make a difference to widespread social problems.(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NOT MORE THAN 10 words.) 81. According to the passage, what are the problems facing today’s world？_________________________________________________________.82. To overcome the problems facing today’s world, people should _________________________________________________________________________.83. We can fight world hunger by ___________________________________________.84. If you ______________________________________, you are helping fight worker exploitation.第II卷（45分）I.
