23、He knew that he could accumulate 43 that would dwarf （使相形见绌） that of ancient kings; he knew that he could 44 books that would shake the minds of generations; he knew that he could 45 things that would forever change the lives of millions of peopleHe lived, constantly feeling the power within - and t

31、ustration. What was going through your mind as you were going through that negativity? Was your mind cluttered with (充斥) different kinds of thoughts? Or was it paralyzed, unable to think?The next time you find yourself in the middle of a very stressful time, or you feel angry or frustrated, stop. Ye
32、s, thats right, stop. Whatever youre doing, stop and sit for one minute. While youre sitting there, completely immerse yourself in the negative emotion. Allow that emotion to consume you. Allow yourself one minute to truly feel that emotion. Dont cheat yourself here. Take the entire minutebut only o
33、ne minuteto do nothing else but feel that emotion. When the minute is over, ask yourself, “Am I willing to keep holding on to this negative emotion as I go through the rest of the day?”Once youve allowed yourself to be totally immersed in the emotion and really feel it, you will be surprised to find
34、 that the emotion clears rather quickly. If you feel you need to hold on to the emotion for a little longer, that is OK. Allow yourself another minute to feel the emotion. When you feel youve had enough of the emotion, ask yourself if youre willing to carry that negativity with you for the rest of t
35、he day. If not, take a deep breath. As you exhale, release all that negativity with your breath. This exercise seems simplealmost too simple. But, it is very effective. By allowing that negative emotion the space to be truly felt, you are dealing with the emotion rather than stuffing it down and try
36、ing not to feel it. You are actually taking away the power of the emotion by giving it the space and attention it needs. When you immerse yourself in the emotion, and realize that it is only emotion, it loses its control. You can clear your head and proceed with your task.61. Which one does not belo
37、ng to the negative emotion?A. anxietyB. confusionC. depressionD. sorrow 62. What should you do when you are into negativity according to the article?A. Listen to some music. B. Ignore it and do something else. C. Just do nothing and truly feel that emotion. D. Think about it and try to deal with it
38、immediately. 63. The underlined word “immerse” (Paragraph 2) most probably means _. A. break downB. get rid ofC. cut offD. throw into 64. Whats the best title of this text?A. Clear Your Mental Space. B. Deep Breath, Trouble Away. C. Try to Avoid the Negative Emotion. D. Keep Holding on to This Negat
39、ive Emotion as Long as Possible. 65. The authors opinion towards negative emotion is _.A. doubtfulB. optimisticC. frightenedD. confused BWhat is the nature of the scientific attitude, the attitude of the man or woman who studies and applies physics, biology, chemistry, geology, engineering, medicine
40、 or any other science?We all know that science plays an important role in our societies. However, many people believe that our progress depends on two different aspects of science. The first aspect is the application of the machines, products and systems of knowledge that scientists and technologist
41、s develop.The second is the application of the special methods of thought and actionthat scientists use in their work.What are these special methods of thinking and acting? First of all, it seems that a successful scientist is curious - he wants to find out how and why the universe works. He usually
42、 pays attention to problems which he notices have no satisfying explanation, andlooks for relationships even if the data available seem to be unconnected. Moreover,he thinks he can improve the existing conditions and enjoys trying to solve the problems which this involves.He is a good observer, accu
43、rate, patient and objective and uses the facts he observes to the fullest. For example, trained observers obtain a very large amount of information about a star mainly from the accurate analysis of the simple lines that appear in a spectrum(光谱). He does not accept statements which are not based on t
44、he most complete evidence available. He rejects authority as the only basis for truth. Scientists always check statements and make experiments carefully and objectively.Furthermore,he does not readily accept his own idea, since he knows that man is the least reliable of scientific instruments and th
45、at a number of factors tend to disturb objective investigation.Lastly,he is full of imaginationsince he often has to look for relationships in data which are not only complex but also frequently incomplete. Furthermore,he needs imaginationif he wants to guess how processes work and how events take p
46、lace.These seem to be some of the ways in which a successful scientist or technologist thinks and acts.66. Many people believe that science helps society to progress through_A. knowledge only. B. more than one aspect. C. technology only. D. the use of machines.67. Which of the following statements a
47、bout a curious scientist is TRUE?A. He doesnt find confidence and pleasure in work.B. He is interested in problems that are explained.C. He makes efforts to investigate potential connections.D. He looks for new ways of acting.68. According to the passage, a successful scientist would NOT_.A. easily
48、believe in unchecked statements.B. easily criticize others research work.C. always use his imagination in work.D. always use evidence from observation.69. Which word can be used to describe the data that a good scientist uses?A. completeB. objectiveC. complicatedD. accurateCThe new studies show that
49、 fewer than half of the 9th graders in many of the nations largest cities, can ever graduate. The studies clearly show that the dropout rate isnt dropping. And, in particular, the dropout rate isnt dropping for poor and minority students. Amazingly, though so many regret the rising dropout rate, our
50、 schools continue to lack formal plans-or any plans-to teach students motivation(动机). Most schools have no game plan to ensure that students understand that schooling will be completely necessary. Schools expect youth and children to act as though schooling is important, but they never teach them to
51、 believe that.Years ago, families ensured that thechildrenrecognized the value of schooling. But in many modern families, the children may fail to recognize the importance of school life just because these families may actually tell their children that school is not important. Since many families ar
52、e not motivating their children to be interested students, youth professionals, like teachers may need to provide this training. Otherwise, it is likely the dropout rate will continue not to drop, but only worsen.Here are some strategies to convince even the most apathetic (无动于衷的) students that they
53、 must stay in school.Ask students if they will ever need to work: The world has changed. 100 years ago, factory work was the booming job, and it required no education. Today, factories are increasingly automated. Most computer-related jobs require education and at least a high school diploma.Ask stu
54、dents which century they will be prepared for: In 1900, the most common jobs were farm laborer and domestic servanteducation not needed. Now, the most common jobs are office and sales staffeducation and diploma usually needed. An amazing 6 out of 10 people today work in a store or office.Ask student
55、s to devise a way that the employee could be replaced. For example, the coming trend in fast food is to use computers rather than people to run the restaurant. A prototype is apparently already being tested. The students should discover that most jobs that lack education and diploma requirements may
56、 be ripe for automation.70. What does the underlined part mean in Paragraph1?A. Few students can afford to go to school in large cities.B. A large number of the 9th graders can graduate now.C. There are still quite a few 9th graders leaving school early.D. Most schools in large cities have fewer and
57、 fewer students.71. Without the help of youth professionals,_.A. more and more families will gradually recognize the value of school.B. it is likely that the dropout rate in schools wont continue to drop.C. some parents will be more convinced of their childrens future.D. the schools will make proper
58、 plans to solve the problems with dropout.72. The author takes factory work for example mainly to _.A. tell us that many jobs requires certain education in the pastB. show that there are more factory work and employment in modern societyC. show that employment in the computer field grows at a high r
59、ateD. emphasize that modern jobs require education and schools are necessary 73. It can be inferred that_.A. both schools and families should answer for the high dropout rateB. many new jobs dont need childrens high school diplomaC. working in a store doesnt require a high school diplomaD. most scho
60、ols are ready to help students recognize the importance of study74. If students play the “Replace Me” game, the result would be “_”.A. They will know that they can always do without a diplomaB. More of them will drop out early to go to workC. They will discover that lack of education is a disadvanta
61、ge in choosing jobsD. They will become better at using computers to hunt for a jobDWhen I was fourteen, I earned money in the summer by cutting lawns（草坪）, and within a few weeks I had built up a body of customers. I got to know people by the flowers they planted that I had to remember not to cut dow
62、n, by the things they lost in the grass or struck in the ground on purpose. I reached the point with most of them when I knew in advance what complaint was about to be spoken, which particular request was most important. And I learned something about the measure of my neighbors by their preferred me
63、thod of payment: by the job, by the month- or not at all.Mr. Ballou fell into the last category, and he always had a reason why. On one day, he had no change for a fifty, on another he was flat out of checks, on another, he was simply out when I knocked on his door. Still, except for the money apart
64、, he was a nice enough guy, always waving or tipping his hat when hed see me from a distance. I figured him for a thin retirement check, maybe a work-relayed injury that kept him from doing his own yard work. Sure, I kept track of the total, but I didnt worry about the amount too much. Grass was gra
65、ss, and the little that Mr. Ballous property comprised didnt take long to trim (修剪). Then, one late afternoon in mid-July, the hottest time of the year, I was walking by his house and he opened the door, mentioned me to come inside. The hall was cool, shaded, and it took my eyes a minute to adjust t
66、o the dim light. “I owe you,” Mr. Ballou, “but”I thought Id save him the trouble of thinking of a new excuse. “No problem. Dont worry about it.”“The bank made a mistake in my account,” he continued, ignoring my words. “It will be cleared up in a day or two. But in the meantime I thought perhaps you
67、could choose one or two volumes for a down payment.He gestured toward the walls and I saw that books were stacked (堆放) everywhere. It was like a library, except with no order to the arrangement.“Take your time,” Mr. Ballou encouraged. “Read, borrow, keep. Find something you like. What do you read?”“
68、I dont know.” And I didnt. I generally read what was in front of me, what I could get from the paperback stack at the drugstore, what I found at the library, magazines, the back of cereal boxes, comics. The idea of consciously seeking out a special title was new to me, but, I realized, not without a
69、ppeal- so I started to look through the piles of books.“You actually read all of these?”“This isnt much,” Mr. Ballou said. “This is nothing, just what Ive kept, the ones worth looking at a second time.”“Pick for me, then.”He raised his eyebrows, cocked his head, and regarded me as though measuring m
70、e for a suit. After a moment, he nodded, searched through a stack, and handed me a dark red hardbound book, fairly thick.“The Last of the Just,” I read. “ By Andre Schwarz-Bart. Whats it about?”“You tell me,” he said. “Next week.”I started after supper, sitting outdoors on an uncomfortable kitchen c
71、hair. Within a few pages, the yard, the summer, disappeared, and I was plunged into the aching tragedy of the Holocaust, the extraordinary clash of good, represented by one decent man, and evil. Translated from French, the language was elegant, simple, impossible to resist. When the evening light fi
72、nally failed I moved inside, read all through the night.To this day, thirty years later, I vividly remember the experience. It was my first voluntary encounter（接触、遇到）with world literature, and I was stunned (震惊) by the concentrated power a novel could contain. I lacked the vocabulary, however, to tr
73、anslate my feelings into words. So the next week when Mr. Ballou asked, “Well?” I only replied, “It was good?”“Keep it, then,” he said. “Shall I suggest another?”I nodded, and was presented with the paperback edition of Margaret Meads Coming of Age in Samoa ( a very important book on the study of th
74、e social and cultural development of peoples- anthropology (人类学) ). To make two long stories short, Mr. Ballou never paid me a cent for cutting his grass that year or the next, but for fifteen years I taught anthropology at Dartmouth College. Summer reading was not the innocent entertainment I had a
75、ssumed it to be, not a light-hearted, instantly forgettable escape in a hammock (吊床) ( though I have since enjoyed many of those, too). A book, if it arrives before you at the right moment, in the proper season, at an internal in the daily business of things, will change the course of all that follo
76、ws.75.The author thought that Mr. Ballou was _. A. rich but mean B. poor but polite C. honest but forgettable D. strong but lazy76. Before his encounter with Mr. Ballou, the author used to read _. A. anything and everything B. only what was given to him C. only serious novels D. nothing in the summe
77、r77. The author found the first book Mr. Ballou gave him _. A. light-hearted and enjoyable B. dull but well written C. impossible to put down D. difficult to understand78. From what he said to the author, we can gather that Mr. Ballou _. A. read all books twice B. did not do much reading C. read mor
78、e books than he kept D. preferred to read hardbound books79. The following year the author _. A. started studying anthropology at college B. continued to cut Mr. Ballous lawn C. spent most of his time lazing away in a hammock D. had forgotten what he had read the summer before80. The authors main po
79、int is that _. A. summer jobs are really good for young people B. you should insist on being paid before you do a job C. a good book can change the direction of your life D. a book is like a garden carried in the pocket.第二节:阅读下列材料，从所给的六个选项(A、B、C、D、E和F)中，选出符合各小题要求的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有一项是多余选项。A. Curr
80、ent situation and future of reality showsB. Audiences reaction to reality TVC. Critics relevant commentsD. Attractions for producers and participantsE. Definition of “watch and dial” showF. Introduction to new reality shows81. _ European television had the idea of taking ordinary people and turning
81、them into “stars” by putting them in unusual situations. “Big Brother” (created in Holland) was one of the first. A group of people were locked in a small house with cameras running 24 hours a day. It was called a “watch and dial” show because viewers vote by telephone to decide who should leave or
82、stay.82. _ “Big Brother” was probably the first of the new reality shows, but such a programme has developed. Many have found appeal by having a theme to them, but most are based on the principle of “survival of the fittest” by eliminating participants as the series progresses. So we have the dating
83、 shows where winners either pair off or stay true to their partners outside the TV studio. Then there are those that test peoples abilities for specific jobs like running a kitchen, becoming an interior designer or a top model.83. _ Critics say these programmes are basically bad television, but peop
84、le watch them. So why are there so many of them? For the viewer its an opportunity to “people watch”. Its natural to like watching other people. Theyre interesting. We can imagine what we would do in that situation. We get to know the characters and see them grow and develop week after week. And of
85、course, television is the perfect place to watch people. Like the theatre or cinema we can look at other people and they cant look back. But with television, we can watch in the privacy of our own homes. We watch, but we dont have to admit it to anyone.84. _ The TV companies like reality shows becau
86、se they are cheap to produce and attract younger viewers, which advertisers like. The last “Big Brother” in Britain attracted enormous advertising revenue (收入). They arent dependent on “star” actors with enormous salaries. And your actors wont go on strike. And why do people participate in them? Wel
87、l, for fame and money of course. In the past, appearing on television wasnt for ordinary people. You had to be good at something, like sport, or reading the news, or acting. But not any more.85. _ It seems that most shows do well at the beginning but then the viewing figures begin to fall. And it va
88、ries from country to country too. For example, one show had an adopted child try to guess the identity of her real father, and another had a family arguing over an inheritance (遗产). Both were cancelled after one episode. Perhaps the novelty has worn off. Certainly, reality TV seems to appeal much mo
89、re to the younger audience. And now there are so many shows around even the young have become more critical. Reality shows will probably surviveits just no longer so easy to make a successful one.非选择题部分（共40分）第三部分：写作（共两节，满分40分）第一节：短文改错（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分）下面短文中有10处语言错误，请在有错误的地方增加、删除或修改某个单词。增加：在缺词处加一个漏词
