Vicky is a beautiful, talented and very bright young woman. All through school she made high grades, did well at sports and was much 36 by boys. At college she was voted “ Most 37 to succeed”. After graduation she got a job in a large store. Within months she was 38 for a management training program and made assistant buyer. Vicky’s future looked 39 . But after two years — during which other assistants buyers moved up the ladder — she still hadn’t been 40 .

Vicky was puzzled but not 41 . “ The store must have something else 42 for me,” she decided. She was right. “ I’m sorry,” the manager finally told her, “ but you just aren’t working out the 43 we hoped. We’re going to have to let you go.” Vicky left the office, went straight home to bed and stayed there for three weeks. She cried a lot, ate little and 44 slept. The girl most likely to succeed had suffered a complete nervous 45 . “ It was panic,” Vicky told me later. “ Everything had always gone so well for me that I had no experience in dealing with 46 . I just felt my life was over. I was a 47 .

Vicky’s experience is an extreme example of a common 48 . In a society that places so much 49 on “ making it”; we assume success is always good, failure always bad. We don’t ask “ What kind of success? 50 at what price? And we fail to recognize that what looks like failure may, in the long run, prove 51 . When Vicky was able to think 52 about why she was fired, 53 , she realized she was simply not suited for a job that dealing with people

第三：阅读理解 (共20小题，每小题2分，满分40分)

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A﹑B﹑C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

A

In this age of Internet chat, videogames and reality television, there is no shortage of mindless activities to keep a child occupied. Yet, despite the competition, my 8-year-old daughter Rebecca wants to spend her leisure time writing short stories. She wants to enter one of her stories into a writing contest, a competition she won last year.

As a writer I know about winning contests, and about losing them. I know what it is like to work hard on a story only to receive a rejection slip from the publisher. I also know the pressure of trying to live up to a reputation created by previous victories. What if she doesn’t win the contest again? That’s the strange thing about being a parent. So many of our own past scars and dashed hopes can surface.

A revelation (启示) came last week when I asked her, “Don’t you want to win again?” “No,” she replied, “I just want to tell the story of an angel going to first grade.”

I had just spent weeks correcting her stories as she spontaneously (自发地) told them. Telling myself that I was merely an experienced writer guiding the young writer across the hall, I offered suggestions for characters, conflicts and endings for her tales. The story about a fearful angel starting first grade was quickly “guided” by me into the tale of a little girl with a wild imagination taking her first music lesson. I had turned her contest into my contest without even realizing it.

Staying back and giving kids space to grow is not as easy as it looks. Because I know very little about farm animals who use tools or angels who go to first grade, I had to accept the fact

that I was co-opting (借用) my daughter’s experience.

While stepping back was difficult for me, it was certainly a good first step that I will quickly follow with more steps, putting myself far enough a way to give her room but close enough to help if asked. All the while I will be reminding myself that children need room to experiment, grow and find their own voices.

56. What do we learn from the first paragraph?

A. A lot of distractions compete for children’s time nowadays. B. Children do find lots of fun in many mindless activities. C. Rebecca is much too occupied to enjoy her leisure time. D. Rebecca draws on a lot of online materials for her writing. 57. What did the author say about her own writing experience? A. She was constantly under pressure of writing more. B. Most of her stories had been rejected by publishers. C. She did not quite live up to her reputation as a writer. D. Her way to success was full of pains and frustrations. 58. Why did Rebecca want to enter this year’s writing contest? A. She had won a prize in the previous contest. B. She wanted to share her stories with readers. C. She was sure of winning with her mother’s help. D. She believed she possessed real talent for writing.

59. The author took great pains to refine her daughter’s stories because ________. A. she wanted to help Rebecca realize her dreams of becoming a writer

B. she was afraid Rebecca’s imagination might run wild while writing C. she did not want to disappoint Rebecca who needed her help so much D. she believed she had the knowledge and experience to offer guidance 60. What’s the author’s advice for parents?

A. Children should be given every chance to voice their opinions. B. Parents should keep an eye on the activities their kids engage in. C. Children should be allowed freedom to grow through experience. D. A writing career, though attractive, is not for every child to pursue. B

Since we are social beings, the quality of our lives depends in large measure on our interpersonal relationships. One strength of the human condition is our possibility to give and receive support from one another under stressful (有压力的) conditions. Social support makes up of the exchange of resources among people based on their interpersonal ties. Those of us with strong support systems appear better able to deal with major life changes and daily problems. People with strong social ties live longer and have better health than those without such ties. Studies over types of illnesses, from depression to heart disease, show that the presence of social support helps people defend themselves against illness, and the absence of such support makes poor health more likely.

Social support cushions stress in a number of ways. First, friends, relatives and co-workers may let us know that they value us. Our self-respect is strengthened when we feel accepted by others in spite of our faults and difficulties. Second, other people often provide us with informational support. They help us to define and understand our problems and find solutions to

them. Third, we typically find social companionship supportive. Taking part in free-time activities with others helps us to meet our social needs while at the same time distracting (转移注意力) us from our worries and troubles. Finally, other people may give us instrumental support—money aid, material resources, and needed services — that reduces stress by helping us resolve and deal with our problems.

61．Interpersonal relationships are important because they can ________

A．make people live more easily C．deal with life changes

B．smooth away daily problems D．cure types of illnesses

62．The researches show that people's physical and mental health _______

A．lies in the social medical care systems which support them B．has much to do with the amount of support they get from others C．depends on their ability to deal with daily worries and troubles D．is related to their courage for dealing with major life changes

C

Faces show emotions. Psychology; computer science, and engineering researchers are joining forces to teach machines to read expressions. If they succeed, your computer may one day \"read\" your mood and cooperate. Machines equipped with emotional skills could also be used in teaching , robotics, gaming, security, and for psychological diagnoses(诊断).

\"Mind Reader\Technology in the US, uses input from a video camera to do real-time analysis of facial expressions. It reports on whether you seem \"interested\" or “agreeable” or if you're \"confused\". The system can help people detect others' emotions. Picard says this means we could teach a machine to be as sensitive as a human. In fact, a machine can be even smarter than people since it can tell if a person is lying or just \"performing\" by analyzing one's facial movements. Jeffrey Cohn, a psychologist at the University of Pittsburgh, uses the Facial Action Coding System to detect human emotions. \"The face is always visible,\" Cohn says, \"People communicate a lot about feelings and thoughts through facial expression.\"

Cohn studied a videotape of criminal who professed to be sad about the murder of several family members and tried to pin the blame on someone else． But Cohn saw no real sadness in the woman's face. Sadness is a combination of facial action units that are difficult to do voluntarily. This means, even though your mouth lies, your face doesn't, and the machine will know it all. 66．People can know a person's emotions from his _____.

A．body movement

B．facial expressions D．mood and attitude

C．psychological reactions

67．Recent technology development makes ______ by machines possible.

A．mind reading C．face reading

B．body reading D．mood reading

68．According to the passage,______.

A．people can no longer tell lies before the new machine B．people still can tell lies in front of the new machine C．people have different emotions before the new machine D．sadness is often difficult to be seen

69．The underlined word \"professed\" most probably means_______.

A．to pretend something as true C．to show

B．to acknowledge D．to prove

70．From the passage we can infer that ________.

A．the technology still needs improvement. B．people can do everything with the new machine . C．face reading technology is nothing new.

D．face reading technology will be widely used in the future.

D

Sometimes you'll hear people say that you can't love others until you love yourself, Sometimes

you'll hear people say that you can't expect someone else to love you until you love yourself. Either way, you've got to love yourself first and this can be tricky. Sure we all know that we're the apple of our parents' eyes, and that our Grandmas think we're great talents and our Uncle Roberts think that we will go to the Olympics. But sometimes it's a lot harder to think such nice

thoughts about ourselves. If you find that believing in yourself is a challenge, it is time you build a positive self-image and learn to love yourself.

Self-image is your own mind's picture of yourself. This image includes the way you look, the way you act, the way you talk and the way you think. Interestingly, our self-images are often quite different from the images others hold about us. Unfortunately, most of these images are more negative than they should be. Thus changing the way you think about yourself is the key to changing your self-image and your whole world.

The best way to defeat a passive self-image is to step back and decide to stress your successes. That is, make a list if you need to, but write down all of the great things you do every day. Don't allow doubts to occur in it.

It very well might be that you are experiencing a negative self -image because you can't move past one flaw or weakness that you see about yourself． Well, roll up your sleeves and a change of it as your primary task． If you think you're silly because you aren't good at math, find a tutor． If you think you're weak because you can't run a mile, get to the track and practice． If you think you're dull because you don't wear the latest trends, buy a few new clothes. But remember, just because you think it doesn't mean it's true.

The best way to get rid of a negative self-image is to realize that your image is far from objective, and to actively convince yourself of your positive qualities. Changing the way you think and working on those you need to improve will go a long way towards promoting a positive self-image. When you can pat(拍) yourself on the back, you'll know you're well on your way. Good luck!

71．You need to build a positive self-image when you______.

A．dare to challenge yourself C．are unconfident about yourself

B．feel it hard to change yourself D．have a high opinion of yourself

72．According to the passage, our self-images_______.

A．have positive effects C．are often changeable

B．are probably untrue D．have different functions

73．How should you change your self-image according to the passage?

A．To keep a different image of others. B．To make your life successful . C．To understand your own world.

D．To change the way you think.

74．What is the passage mainly about?

A．How to prepare for your success. B．How to face challenges in your life. C．How to build a positive self-image. D．How to develop your good qualities.

75．Who are the intended readers of the passage?

A．Parents. C．Educators.

B．Adolescents. D．People in general.

第一节：阅读表达 （共5小题；每小题3分，满分15分）

阅读下面的短文，并根据短文后的要求答题（请注意问题后的字数要求）。

Barack Obama is prepared to become president, supported by enormous public goodwill. The Bush era, with all its disasters and blunders, is over. Obama has arrived in Washington,

DC, and is ready to swear the oath(誓词) of office on Lincoln's own Bible at noon on Tuesday January 20th. Then Americans will start to see what kind of a president they have chosen as the 44th occupant of the office.

To a surprising degree they like to give him the benefit of any possible doubt. Mr Obama's polling numbers have reached sky-high levels.______________, 80% of people now have a positive impression of Mr Obama, a figure that has been steadily increasing since his election in November. It is the highest figure recorded for an incoming president for 30 years, according to another poll. It compares well even with George Bush's 90% patriotism-fuelled rating in the wake of the September 11th attacks.

Mr Obama's supporting rate seems the more remarkable given the large proportion of people who say that they do not expect to see quick results. Fully two-thirds of them do not expect to see great improvements in the economy over the next two years, and more than half doubt there will be many changes on health-care reform, or an end to the war in Iraq, in that time. Yet these were Mr Obama's three main campaign promises. On the other hand, 61% of them expect the country to be in better shape in five years' time, which means a fairly long honeymoon period. 76. What is the possible title of this article?(within 10 words)

_________________________________________________________________________ 77. Which sentence in the passage can be replaced by the following one? Surprisingly, Americans seem willing to support Obama.

_________________________________________________________________________

78. Fill in the blank in Paragraph 2 with proper words.(Pleases answer within 5 words) _________________________________________________________________________

79. What did Mr. Obama promise to do after he became president of the US? .(Pleases answer within

15 words)

①________________________②______________________ ③___________________________

One possible version:

In the past, senior middle school students were heavily burdened with all kinds of homework. Because of various examinations, they spent about 6.5 hours in their classroom a day. At home,

41—45 BCADB

46—50ACDBD

51—55 CAACD

about 3.5 hours was spent on their homework and therefore most of them got less than seven hours’ sleep a night, with only about three hours’ free time for other things. As a result, their health was badly damaged.

Now things are getting better. About five hours is spent in class and hours for homework is shortened to about two so that they can have two more hours’ sleep and also two more hours’ free time to do whatever they like.
