Two brand new devices are perhaps a fresh 41 for a company that has seen its global market share 42 from 20 percent three years ago to just over 3 percent today. For BlackBerry CEO Thorsten Heins, its another chance to remake a faded 43 .
21、“We have 44 been on a journey of transformation, not only a journey to transform our business and our brand, 45 one that I truly 46 transforms mobile communications into true mobile computing,” he said. The company promises the same 47 level of network security the BlackBerry is known for, 48 a fast

28、 第三部分：阅读理解 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分）A Anne Whitney, a sophomore (大学二年级学生) at Colorado State University, first had a problem taking tests when she began college. I was always well prepared for my tests. Sometimes I studied for weeks before a test. Yet I would go in to take
29、the test, only to find I could not answer the questions correctly. I would blank out because of nervousness and fear. I couldnt think of the answer. My low grades on the tests did not show what I knew to the teacher. “Another student in biology had similar experiences. He said, My first chemistry te
30、st was very difficult. Then, on the second test, I sat down to take it, and I was so nervous that I was shaking. My hands were moving up and down so quickly that it was hard to hold my pencil. I knew the material and I knew the answers. Yet I couldnt even write them down!These two young students wer
31、e experiencing something called test anxiety. Because a student worries and is uneasy about a test, his or her mind does not work as well as it usually does. The student cannot write or think clearly because of the extreme tension and nervousness. Contrary to peoples common belief that poor grades a
32、re often a result of poor study habits, sometimes test anxiety plays a role in students achieving low grades. Recently, test anxiety has been recognized as a real problem, not just an excuse or a false explanation of lazy students.Special university advising courses try to help students. In these co
33、urses, advisors try to help students by teaching them how to manage test anxiety. At some universities, students take tests to measure their anxiety. If the tests show their anxiety is high, the students can take short courses to help them deal with their tensions. These courses teach students how t
34、o relax their bodies. Students are trained to become calm in very tense situations. By controlling their nervousness, they can let their minds work at ease. Learned information then comes out without difficulty on a test.An expert at the University of California explains, With almost all students, r
35、elaxation and less stress are felt after taking our program. Most of them experience better control during their tests. Almost all have some improvement. With some, the improvement is very great. 56. To blank out is probably_.A. to be like a blanket B. to be sure of an answerC. to be unable to think
36、 clearly D. to show knowledge to the teacher57. Poor grades are usually believed to be the result of_.A. poor sleeping habit B. lazinessC. test anxiety D. inability to form good study habits58. Test anxiety has been recognized as_.A. an excuse for laziness B. the result of poor study habitsC. a real
37、 problem D. something that cannot be changed59. A University of California advisor said_.A. all students could overcome the anxiety after taking a special test anxiety programB. almost all students felt less stress after taking a University of California advising courseC. students found it difficult
38、 to improve even though they had taken a special test anxiety courseD. students found it easy to relax as soon as they entered a University of California advising courseBOnce upon a time a man became a great archer(射手)He asked the king to declare him as the greatest archer of the countryThe king was
39、 about to do so when an old servant of the king said，“Wait，sirI know an old man who lives in the forestHe is a much greater archerLet this young man go to him and learn from him for at least three years”The man could not believe that there could be a greater archer than him，but he went and found the
40、 old man and he was! For three years he learned from himThen one day，when he thought he had learned everything，the thought arose in him：“If I kill this old man，then I will be the greatest archer”The old man had gone to cut wood and he was coming back carrying wood on his shoulderThe young man hid be

Generous discounts on tickets.DThe longest bull run in a century of art-market history ended on a dramatic note with a sale of 56 works by Damien Hirst, Beautiful Inside My Head Forever, at Sothebys in London on S
53、eptember 15th 2008. All but two pieces sold, fetching more than 70m, a record for a sale by a single artist. It was a last victory. As the auctioneer called out bids, in New York one of the oldest banks on Wall Street, Lehman Brothers, filed for bankruptcy, starting the most severe financial crisis
54、since the 1920s.The world art market had already been losing momentum(势头) for a while after rising confusingly since 2003. At its peak in 2007 it was worth some $65 billion, thinks Clare McAndrew, founder of Arts Economics, a research firm double the figure five years earlier. Since then it may have
55、 come down to $50 billion. But the market generates interest far beyond its size because it brings together great wealth, enormous egos(自负), greed, passion and controversy in a way matched by few other industries.In the weeks and months that followed Mr. Hirsts sale, spending of any sort became deep
56、ly unfashionable. In the art world that meant collectors stayed away from galleries and salerooms. Sales of contemporary art fell by two-thirds, and in the most overheated sector, they were down by nearly 90% in the year to November 2008. Within weeks the worlds two biggest auction houses, Sothebys
57、and Christies, had to pay out nearly $200m in guarantees to clients who had placed works for sale with them.The current downturn in the art market is the worst since the Japanese stopped buying Impressionists at the end of 1989. This time experts suppose that prices are about 40% down on their peak
58、on average, though some have been far more volatile (动荡的). But Edward Dolman, Christies chief executive, says, “Im pretty confident were at the bottom.”What makes this fall different from the last, he says, is that there are still buyers in the market, while in the early 1990s, when interest rates w
59、ere high, there was no demand even though many collectors wanted to sell. Christies earnings in the first half of 2009 were still higher than in the first half of 2006. Almost everyone who was interviewed for this special report said that the biggest problem at the moment is not a lack of demand but
60、 a lack of good work to sell. The three Ds death, debt and divorce still deliver works of art to the market. But anyone who does not have to sell is keeping away, waiting for confidence to return.67. In the first paragraph, Damien Hirsts sale was referred to as “a last victory” because _.A. the art
61、market had witnessed a succession of victoriesB. the auctioneer finally got the two pieces at the highest bidsC. Beautiful inside My Head Forever won over all masterpiecesD. it was successfully made just before the world financial crisis68. Which of the following statements is true?A .Sales of conte
62、mporary art fell dramatically from 2003 to 2008.B. The art market didnt match many other industries in momentum.C. The market generally went downward in the same way.D. Some art dealers were awaiting better chances to come.69. The three Ds mentioned in the last paragraph are _ .A. auction houses fav
63、orites B. contemporary trends C. factors promoting artwork circulationD. styles representing impressionists70. What is mainly discussed in the passage?A. Art market in decline.B. Up-to-date art auctions. C. Volatility of art prices. D. Shifted interest in arts.EMaybe ten-year-old Elizabeth put it be
64、st when she said to her father, “But, Dad, you cant be healthy if youre dead.” Dad, in a hurry to get home before dark so he could go for a run, had forgotten to wear his safety belt- a mistake 75% of the US population make every day. The big question is why. There have been many myths about safety
65、belts ever since their first appearance in cars some forty years ago. The following are three of the most common. Myth Number One: Its best to be “thrown clear” of a serious accident. Truth: Sorry, but any accident serious enough to “throw you clear” is also going to be serious enough to give you a
66、very bad landing. And chances are that youll have traveled through a wind shield （挡风玻璃）or door to do it. Studies show that chances of dying after a car accident are twenty-five times greater in cases where people are “thrown clear. Myth Number Two: Safety belts “trap” people in cars that are burning
67、 or sinking in water. Truth: Sorry again, but studies show that people knocked unconscious（昏迷）due to not wearing safety belts have a greater chance of dying in these accidents. People wearing safety belts are usually protected to the point of having a clear head to free themselves from such dangerou
68、s situations, not to be trapped in them. Myth Number Three: Safety belts arent needed at speeds of less than 30 miles per hour. Truth: When two cars traveling at 30 mph hit each other, an unbelted driver would meet the windshield with a force equal to diving headfirst into the ground from a height o
69、f 10 meters.71. Why did Elizabeth say to her father, “But, Dad, you cant be healthy if youre dead”?A. He was driving at great speed. B. He was running across the street.C. He didnt have his safety belt on. D. He didnt take his medicine on time.72. The reason Father was in a hurry to get home was tha
70、t he _,A. wasnt feeling very well B. hated to drive in the darkC. wanted to take some exercise D. didnt want to be caught by the police73. According to the text, the “thrown clear” of a serious accident is very dangerous because you _. A. may be knocked down by other carsB. may get seriously hurt be
71、ing thrown out of the carC. may find it impossible to get away from the seatD. may get caught in the car door74. Some people prefer to drive without wearing a safety belt because they believe _. A. the belt prevents them from escaping in an accidentB. they will be unable to think clearly in an accid

Negative experiences can leave us troubled and disillusioned（幻想破灭的）；however, positive experiences can greatly improve our optimism and daily motivation, which

They are the key motivators that drive you to succeed. A life without goals is like a boat without a rudder drifti
75、ng with no direction and no end destination. Meaningful goals motivate you to take inspiring action toward achieving what you desire and keep you focused and driven when you come across challenges and difficulties. When setting any goal, it is very important however, to take small progressive steps
76、toward achieving it. small steps will prevent you becoming overwhelmed（不知所措的）and help you maintain a positive attitude to keep you moving forward.3A positive attitude will help keep you motivated to continually move forward toward your goal while a negative attitude will damage any chance of success
77、. If you believe that your goal is too difficult and that you wont achieve it, then I can say for certain that you will be right. Your mind is extremely powerful, and youd be a fool to underestimate it. Feed it with positive thoughts and it will grant you whatever you want.4Weve all been given the g

84、I was always encouraged by both the people around me and myself. I kept practicing speaking, listening, reading and writing. When I was fed up with reading or writing, I usually entertained myself by reading some interesting English stories, jokes and humors or seeing English films. When I had some
85、trouble in reciting or memorizing, I tried to amuse myself by playing word games or singing English songs. By this means, I always made myself cheerful and optimistic, full of splendid and colorful dreams of future. I kept practicing. Gradually, I made progress in my English. . Thanks to the optimism, I have become one of the top students in my class by now.
