2B此部分题答案用铅笔做在答题纸上Passage One

Have you ever heard the expression that goes: “What you see is what you get”? When I was a

little kid my grandfather used to tell me: “If you look at a tree long enough, it will move.”I didn't understand this at that time. But when I grew up I finally realized that the message behind his

words is that we see what we want to see.

Psychologists tell us that nothing controls our lives more than our self image. We live like the

person we see in the mirror. We are what we think we are. If you don't think you will be successful, you will not. You cannot be it, if you cannot see it. Your life is limited to your vision.

If you want to change your life, you must change your vision of your life.

Arnold Schwarzenegger was not that famous in 1976 when he met with a newspaper reporter.

The reporter asked Schwarzenegger: “Now that you have retired from bodybuilding, what do you plan to do next?”Schwarzenegger answered very calmly and confidently: “I am going to be the best movie star in Hollywood.”The reporter was shocked and amused at Schwarzenegger's plan.

At that time, it was very hard to imagine how this muscle-bound bodybuilder, who was not a professional actor and who spoke poor English with a strong Austrian accent, could ever hope to

be Hollywood's best movie star!

So the reporter asked Schwarzenegger how he planned to make his dream come true. Schwarzenegger answered: “I will do it the same way I became the best bodybuilder in the world. What I do is to create a vision of who I want to be; then I start living like person in my mind as if

it were already true.”

Sounds almost childishly simple, doesn't it? But it worked! Schwarzenegger did become the

highest paid movie star in Hollywood! And later he achieved another of his goals –to start his political career and served the people of California as the state's 38th governor from 2003 to 2010! Remember: “If you can see it, you can be it!

11.What does it mean by “What you see is what you get”?

A. When you look at something long enough, you will eventually get it.

B. You can move a tree by looking at it.

C. You can only get what you can see.

D. Only when you have a strong wish to get something can you have a clear vision of

the future.

can you learn about ‘self image' from psychologists?.12.What

A. Self image is the self we see in the mirror.

B. Self image is what we think about ourselves.

C. Self image is what we want to see about the self in the mirror.

D. Self image is about what we think others might think of ourselves.

According to the author, if you want to become a certain type of person, you need13.

to __________.

A. often look at yourself in the mirror

B. think twice before you act

C. build a strong determination about whom or what you want to become

D. change your vision of your life

Which of the following statements is NOT true about Schwarzenegger?14.

A. He was not that famous in 1976.

B. He used to be a successful bodybuilder.

C. He was a professional actor.

D. He was the President of the United States of America.

What message does the author want to convey to the readers?15.

A. Everyone should see what he gets.

B. Everyone should create a positive vision about his life.

C. Everyone should pay attention to his self image.

D. Everyone should learn from Arnold Schwarzenegger.

Passage Two

Do other animals besides humans cry?

The answer to the question is ‘Yes, and no'. All animals with mobile eyes have the ability to

cry, just as we humans do. They have a tearing system that keeps their eyes wet so as to protect

them from dry sand, dusts, and other elements. People often tell tales of animals such as elephants

and dogs weeping when punished. However, even if such an animal does shed tears, there is no scientific evidence that the animal is expressing the tear-related emotions similar to those when humans cry.

But what about when a baby chimp or ape whimpers and screams when it's being separated

from its mother, can we say with some certainty that the animal is crying? Taking away the babies does encourage care-giving such as feeding and protecting from the mother apes, but it is

uncertain whether the baby apes feel the same way as baby humans do when they cry.

In fact, it's not clear that crying and other emotional displays mean exactly the same thing to

all humans. For instance, there is a wide range of emotions that prompt people to cry, and some

kinds of weeping, such as crying at a stranger's wedding, seem to be cultural responses.

In addition, some people are autistic. That means they prefer being alone than being with

other people, especially in large crowds. These people are said to have less ability in expressing

re that their expressions and their reactions

their emotions, but research also has shown that it's mo

to the emotional expressions of others are unusual. Different. But does that mean that their sadness

is different somehow?

So even if apes can be said with some certainty to be feeling emotions, then there is the

problem of figuring out to what extent what they feel resembles what humans feel.

in line 1, paragraph 1?“Yes, and no”16.What does the author mean by

A. Other animals besides humans cry

B. No other animals besides humans cry

C. Animals cry but do not cry like humans

D. Animals cry but humans do not cry

C. Crying means exactly the same thing to all humans.

D. Because of cultural responses.

It can be inferred from the passage that __________.20.

B. it is sure that apes can feel emotions
