Words have the power to build u
18、s up or tear us down. It doesnt matter if the words come from someone elses or ourselves - the positive and negative effects are just as lasting. We all talk to ourselves sometimes. Were usually too embarrassed to admit it, though. In fact, we really shouldnt be because more and more experts believe
19、 talking to ourselves out loud is a healthy habit.This “self-talk” helps us motivate ourselves, remember things, solve problems, and calm ourselves down. Be aware, though, that as much as 77% of self-talk tends to be negative. So in order to stay positive, we should only speak words of encouragement
20、 to ourselves. We should also be quick to give ourselves a pat on the back. The next time you finish a project, do well in a test, or finally clean your room, join me in saying “Good job!”Often, words come out of our mouths without us thinking about the effect they will have. But we should be aware
21、that our words cause certain responses in others. For example, when returning an item to a store, we might use warm, friendly language during the exchange. And the clerk will probably respond in a similar manner. Or harsh（刻薄的）and critical language will most likely cause the clerk to be defensive.Wor
22、ds possess power because of their lasting effect. Many of us regret something we once said. And we remember unkind words said to us! Before speaking, we should always ask ourselves: Is it loving? Is it needed? If what we want to say doesnt pass this test, then its better left unsaid.Words possess po
23、wer: both positive and negative. Those around us receive encouragement when we speak positively. We can offer hope, build self-esteem（自尊）and motivate others to do their best. Negative words destroy all those things. Will we use our words to hurt or to heal? The choice is ours.1. The main idea of the
24、 first paragraph is that _.A. words have a lasting effect on us B. not sticks and stones but words will hurt usC. inspiring words give us confidence D. negative words may let us down答案解析：答案为A。本题考查段落大意。段落大意一般通过段落的topic sentence来体现，第一段的最后一句话 “the positive and negative effects are just as lasting.” 即为该
25、段的 topic sentence, 故A选项正确.。2. There is no sense for us to feel embarrassed when we talk to ourselves because _.A. it does no harm to have “self-talk” when we are aloneB. almost everybody has the habit of talking to themselvesC. we can benefit from talking to ourselvesD. talking to ourselves always g
26、ives us courage答案解析：答案为C。本题为推理题。由第三段 “This “self-talk” helps us motivate ourselves, remember things, solve problems, and calm ourselves down. Be aware, though, that as much as 77% of self-talk tends to be negative. So in order to stay positive, we should only speak words of encouragement to ourselve
27、s.”可知，虽然77%的自言自语是消极的，但是自言自语可以激发我们，帮助我们记住事情、解决问题和使我们保持镇定。为了保持积极，我们对自己应该只讲鼓励的话语。由此可推断，自言自语让我们收益。故C选项正确，A选项错误。B选项只是一种现象，不是原因，D选项显得绝对，故均不选。3The underlined part in the third paragraph means that we should also occasionally _.A. give ourselves amusement B. praise ourselves C. remind ourselves D. make ours
28、elves relaxed答案解析：答案为B。本题为句意推断题。结合划线部分的下文 “The next time you finish a project, do well in a test, or finally clean your room, join me in saying Good job!” 可知，当我们完成了任务，考试考得好，或者打扫完房间后，要对自己说“干得好！”，故可推断划线部分应该意为表扬我们自己。4The author would probably hold the view that _.A. it is better to think twice before t
29、alking to others B. encouraging words are sure to lead to kind offersC. negative words may stimulate us to make more progressD. people tend to remember friendly words答案解析：答案为A。由倒数第二段 “Before speaking, we should always ask ourselves: Is it loving? Is it needed? If what we want to say doesnt pass this
30、 test, then its better left unsaid.” 可知，作者认为在我们讲话前要想一想所讲的话受人喜欢吗？受人需要吗？如果不是这样，就最好不要讲。再结合最后一段，话语有着积极和消极的力量，因此我们讲话一定要小心。故答案为A，最好三思而后言。时闻型阅读理解- (二)Scientists have not found any signs of life on Mars yet, but they say a robotic vehicle called “Curiosity” is helping them learn a lot about the planets hist

40、nths.”可知答案。2D 细节理解题。根据第五段的“Curiosity also found smooth stones like the ones found on river beds and seashores on the earth, where their rough edges have been worn down by water.”可直接得出答案。 3A 词义推测题。根据第五段可知，这些光滑的石头原先粗糙的边角被磨平，就是因为水流冲击。石头不会被冲走，只能边角被磨平，所以在原地的是“光滑的石头”。4B 推理判断题。根据第六段可知：如果有甲烷，就表示有植物或动物存在的可能；但是“好奇号”到现在为止都没有在火星上找到甲烷。可见火星上至少现在是没有植物或动物的。5D 主旨大意题。根据全文的第一段可知答案。
