28、t the next table. I couldnt help overhearing parts of their conversation. At one point the woman asked, “So, how have you been?” And the boy - who could not have been more than seven or eight years old -replied, “Frankly, Ive been feeling a little depressed lately.” This incident stuck in my mind be
29、cause it confirmed my growing belief that children are changing. As far as I can remember, my friends and I didnt find out we were “depressed” until we were in high school. The evidence of a change in children has increased steadily in recent years. Children dont seem childlike anymore. Children spe
30、ak more like adults, dress more like adults and behave more like adults than they used to. Whether this is good or bad is difficult to say, but it is certainly different. Children as they once were on longer exists. Why? Human development is based not only on innate biological states, but also on pa
31、tterns of access to social knowledge. Movement from one social route to another usually involves learning the secrets of the new status. Children have always been taught adult secrets, but slowly and in stages: traditionally, we tell sixth graders things we keep hidden from fifth graders. In the las
32、t 30 years, however, a secret-revelation machine has been installed in 98 percent of American homes. It is called television. Television passes information indiscriminately to all viewers alike, be they children or adults. Unable to resist the temptation, many children turn their attention from prin
33、ted texts to the less challenging, more vivid moving pictures. Communication through print, as a matter of fact, allows for a great deal of control over the social information to which children have access. Reading and writing involve a complex code of symbols that must be memorized and practiced. C
34、hildren must read simple books before they can read complex materials. 56. According to the author, feeling depressed is _. A. a sure sign of a psychological problem in childrens mental development B. something rarely expected in childrens mental development C. an inevitable thing in childrens menta
35、l development D. something usually experienced in childrens mental development 57. What does the underlined word innate in Paragraph 4 mean ? A. something a person is born with B. something a person is tired of C. something a person is expected ofD. something a person is dreaming of 58. What of the
36、following statement is NOT true according to the last paragraph? A. Communication through print helps children develop their reading skills.B. Communication through print helps children access more social information. C. Communication through print helps children command a complex code of symbols.D.
37、 Communication through print helps children read different materials at random. 59. What is the attitude of the author about todays children? A. He feels shocked by their premature behavior.B. He thinks it is a phenomenon unworthy of note. C. He considers it a positive social development.D. He seems
38、 to be concerned about the tendency.BMy old digital camera broke down, so I wanted to buy a new oneBeing the cautious type, I fancied a reliable brandSo I went on the Net, spent 15 minutes reading product reviews on good websites, wrote down the names of three top recommendations and headed for my n
39、earest big friendly camera storeThere in the cupboard was one of the cameras on my listAnd it was on special offerOh joyI pointed at it and asked an assistant, Can I have one of those? He looked perturbed（ 不安）Do you want to try it first? he saidIt didn t quite sound like a questionDo I need to? I re
40、plied, Theres nothing wrong with it This made him look a bit offended and I started to feel badNo, noBut you should try it, he said encouragingly, Compare it with the othersI looked across at the others: shelves of similar cameras placed along the wall, offering a wide range of slightly different pr
41、ices and discounts, with each company selling a range of models based around the same basic box. With so many models to choose from, it seemed that I would have to spend hours weighing X against Y, always trying to take Z and possibly H into account at the same time. But when I had finished, I would
42、 still have only the same two certainties that I had entered the store with: first, soon after I carried my new camera out of the shop, it would be worth half what I paid for it; and second, my wonderful camera would very quickly be replaced by a new modelBut something in the human soul whispers tha
43、t you can beat these traps by making the right choice, the clever choice, the wise choiceIn the end, I agreed to try the model I had chosenThe assistant seemed a sincere manSo I let him take out my chosen camera from the cupboard, show how it took excellent pictures of my fellow shoppersand when he
44、started to introduce the special features, I interrupted to ask whether I needed to buy a carry-case and a memory card as wellWhy do we think that new options still offer us anything new? Perhaps it is because they offer an opportunity to avoid facing the fact that our real choices in this culture a
45、re far more limited than we would like to imagine60The shop assistant insisted that the writer should _Atrust him and stop asking questionsBtry the camera to see if there was anything wrong with itCget more information about different companies.D. compare the camera he had chosen with the others61Wh
46、at does the writer mean by it would be worth half what I paid for it（ Paragraph 2）?AHe should get a 50% discountBThe price of the camera would soon fallC. The quality of the camera was not good.DThe price of the camera was unreasonably high62The writer decided to try the model he had chosen because
47、he _Aknew very little about itBwanted to make sure the one he chose would be the bestCdidn t trust the shop assistantDhad a special interest in taking pictures of his fellow shoppers63It can be inferred from the passage that in the writers opinion, _Awe waste too much money on camerasBcameras have b
48、ecome an important part of our daily lifeCwe don t actually need so many choices when buying a product Dfamous companies care more about profit than qualityCWhile success is surely sweeter than failure, it seems failure is a far better teacher, and organizations that fail miserably often flourish (繁
49、荣) more in the long run, according to a new study by Vinit Desai, assistant professor of management at the University of Colorado Denver Business School. Researchers have found that people missing their goals perform much better in the long run. That is because they gain more knowledge from their fa
50、ilures than their successes and the lessons are more likely to stay longer in their minds. “We found that the knowledge gained from success was often fleeting while knowledge from failure stuck around for years,” said professor Desai, who led the study. “But companies often ignore failure. Managers
51、may fire people or turn over the whole workforce while they should treat the failure as a learning opportunity.” Prof Desai compared the flights of the space shuttle Atlantis and the Challenger. During the Atlantis flight last year, a piece of insulation (绝缘体) broke off and damaged the left solid ro
52、cket booster (助推火箭) but didnt influence the program. There was little investigation. The Challenger was launched next and another piece of insulation broke off. This time the shuttle and its sevenperson crew were destroyed. The disaster led to a major investigation resulting in 29 changes to prevent
53、 future disasters. The difference in response in the two cases came down to this: Atlantis was considered a success and the Challenger a failure. “Despite crowded skies, airlines are extremely reliable,” he said. “The number of failures is extremely small. And past researches have shown that older a
54、irlines, those with more experience in failure, have a lower number of accidents.”Prof Desai doesnt recommend finding out failure in order to learn. Instead, he advises organizations to analyze small failures to collect useful information rather than wait for major failures.64. Why did experts pay l
55、ittle attention to the problem of Atlantis?A. Because it worked perfectly. B. Because the right booster was still OK.C. Because nothing serious happened then. D. Because fewer people died in the flight. 65. Fewer accidents happen to older airlines in that _.A. their planes couldnt fly high in the sk
56、y B. they gained much from experience in failure C. their planes were often checked by the experts D. they were unpopular among passengers66. The passage is written mainly to _.A. show failure is a better teacher than success B. explain why Challenger failed C. introduce something about Prof Desai D
57、. tell managers how to achieve successDPetroleum, consisting of crude oil（原油） and natural gas, seems to originate from organic matter in marine sediment（海洋沉淀物）.Tiny organisms settle to the seafloor and gather in marine mud. The organic matter may partially break down, using up the dissolved oxygen i
58、n the sediment. As soon as the oxygen is gone, decay stops and the remaining organic matter is preserved. Continued sedimentation buries the organic matter and subjects it to higher temperatures and pressures, which change the organic matter to oil and gas. As muddy sediments are pressed together, t
59、he gas and small drops of oil may be squeezed out of the mud and may move into sandy layers nearby. Over millions of years, accumulations of gas and oil can collect in the sandy layers. Both oil and gas are less dense than water, so they generally tend to rise upward through rock and sediment.Oil po
60、ols are valuable underground accumulations of oil, and oil fields are regions underlain by one or more oil pools. When an oil pool or field is discovered, wells are drilled into the ground. When the well reaches a pool, oil usually rises up the well because of its density difference（密度差） with water
61、beneath it or because of the pressure of expanding gas trapped above it. Although this rise of oil is almost always carefully controlled today, strong natural flows of oil were common in the past. Gas pressure gradually dies out, and oil is pumped from the well. Water or steam may be pumped down nei
62、ghboring wells to help push the oil out.As oil becomes increasingly difficult to find, the search for it is extended into more unfriendly environments. The development of the oil field on the North Slope of Alaska and the construction of the Alaska pipeline are examples of the great expense and diff
63、iculty involved in new oil discoveries. Offshore drilling platforms extend the search for oil to the oceans continental shelves. More than one-quarter of the worlds oil and almost one-fifth of the worlds natural gas come from offshore, even though offshore drilling is six to seven times more expensi
64、ve than drilling on land. Of course, there is far more oil underground than can be recovered. Even given the best exploration techniques, only about 30 to 40 percent of the oil in a given pool can be brought to the surface. The rest is far too difficult to reach and has to remain underground.67. Whi
65、ch of the following is true about petroleum formation? A. Microscopic organisms that live in mud produce crude oil and natural gas. B. Large amounts of oxygen are needed for petroleum formation to begin. C. Petroleum is formed when organic material in sediments combines with decaying organisms. D. P
66、etroleum formation appears to begin in marine sediments where organic matter exists. 68. What does the development of the Alaskan oil field mentioned illustrate? A. More petroleum is extracted from the sea than from land.B. Drilling for oil requires huge financial investments.C. The global demand fo
67、r oil has been increasing over the years.D. The North Slope of Alaska has substantial amounts of oil.69. What does the author mainly intend to tell us in the passage? A. The formation, processing and exploration of petroleum B. The specific techniques involved in oil exploration. C. The changing rel
68、ationships between countries. D. The future intense situation in oil product markets. 70. What can we infer from the passage? A. Available exploration techniques serve our purpose of exploring oil very well. B. More and more public regions will be further protected from being drilled in the future.C
69、. Countries may suffer from unpleasant relationships for respective benefits in exploring oil. D. Powerful flows of oil is a phenomenon which can be witnessed rarely now.第卷（非选择题，共35分)第四部分：任务型阅读(共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分)请认真阅读下列短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。注意：每个空格只填1个单词。Life is what we make of it. How can
70、 we make our life better？Through focusfocusing on one thing and getting it done. Learning to focus can help us in many ways. It can help us realize what we really want in life. It can help us make good decisions. It can also help us accept ourselves just the way we are. Focus can help us gain power
71、and happiness.Focus，or concentration，is a skill that can be taught，so there are some exercises you can do to improve your focus. Start with easy exercises like staring at a picture on the wall for a few minutes without moving or talking to anyone. Once you learn how to block out your surroundings，yo
72、ur focus will improve.Learn to manage your pressure. Many athletes require intense focus in their training and games. They try to spare some time to calm themselves down. It isnt enough to just practice your shots because when game time comes，the stress and tension can make one miss a shot. This is
73、when focus comes into play.Another mind exercise you can do is picturing yourself in a desired situation，and then you work around your picture. Actors do this a lot to block out laughter or noise. An example of this would be to imagine yourself in a potentially stressful situation，like a singer in a
74、 concert. Try to play out the scene in your mind what you would do if different things are to happen. This can actually be a lot of fun，and you learn how to improve your focus by concentrating on one thing only.If this sounds a little strange to you，you could try another strategy. Why not make lists
75、？Make a list of the things you need to accomplish. Study your lists carefully and see where you can move things around. Planning helps you focus. It will also not stress you out.A better way to improve your focus is to take breaks. Dont spend it with your coworkers beside the coffee machine talking
76、about problems in the office. Doing this will actually cause your stress and cause you to lose focus on the things that need to be done. Your breaks should be as quiet as possible. Read a book or take a walk. Go and do something that will give your brain a rest.The reason why we lose focus so easily
77、 is because we have too much on our minds. Of course，it could also because you are bored with nothing to do. A good balance between a too relaxed brain and a too active brain is necessary. Find your ability to work，and try not to waste your time. Improving your focus also mean knowing what you can d
