14、50分）第一节 阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分）AWhen something goes wrong, it can be very satisfying to say, Well, its so-and-sos fault. or I know Im late, but its not my fault; the car broke down. It is probably not your fault, but once you form the habit of blaming somebody or something else for a bad situation,

15、you are a loser. You have no power and could do nothing that helps change the situation. However, you can have great power over what happens to you if you stop focusing on whom to blame and start focusing on how to remedy the situation. This is the winners key to success.Winners are great at overcom

16、ing problems. For example, if you were late because your car broke down, maybe you need to have your car examined more regularly. Or, you might start to carry along with you the useful phone numbers, so you could call for help when in need. For another example, if your colleague causes you problems

17、on the job for lack of responsibility or ability, find ways of dealing with his irresponsibility or inability rather than simply blame the person. Ask to work with a different person, or dont rely on this person. You should accept that the person is not reliable and find creative ways to work succes

18、sfully regardless of how your colleague fails to do his job well. This is what being a winner is all about-creatively using your skills and talents so that you are successful no matter what happens. Winners dont have fewer problems in their lives; they have just as many difficult situations to face

19、as anybody else. They are just better at seeing those problems as challenges and opportunities to develop their own talents. So, stop focusing on whose fault it is. Once you are confident about your power over bad situations, problems are just stepping stones for success.41. According to the passage

20、, winners_.A. deal with problems rather than blame others B. meet with fewer difficulties in their livesC. have responsible and able colleagues D. blame themselves rather than others42.

21、en your colleague brings about a problem, you should_.A. find a better way to handle the problem B. blame him for his lack of responsibilityC. tell him to find the cause of the problem D. ask a more able colleague for help44. When problems occur, winners take them as_ A. excuses for their failures B

22、. barriers to greater powerC. challenges to their colleagues D. chances for self-development45. Which of the following is the best title for the passage? A. A Winners Secret. B.

The past decade has been a harvest for good childrens books, which has set off a large quantity of films and an increased sales of classics such as The lard of the Rings. Yet despite that , reading is

24、increasingly unpopular among children. According to statistics in 1997 23% said they didnt like reading in all. In 2003, 35% did . And around 6% of children leave primary school each year unable to read properly. Maybe the decline is caused by the increasing availability of computes games. Maybe the

25、 books boom has affected only the top of the educational pile. Either way, Chancellor Cordon Brown plans to change things for the bottom of the class. In his pre-budget report, he announced the national project of Reading Recovery to help the children struggling most. Reading Recovery is aimed at si

27、s, and so ended the year even further below the level expected for their age.International research tends to find that when British children leave primary school they read well, but read text often for fun than those elsewhere. Reading for fun matters because children who are been on reading can rep

41、Holmes and Richard Rahe developed a checklist of stressful events. They appreciated the tricky point that any major change can be stressful. Bad events like serious illness of a family member were high on the list, but so were some helpful life-changing events like marriage. When you take the Holmes

42、-Rahe test you must remember that the score does not show how you deal with stress it only shows how much you have to deal with. And we now know that the way you deal with these events dramatically (戏剧性的) affects your chances of staying healthy. By the early 1970s, hundreds of similar studies had fo

43、llowed Holmes and Rahe. And millions of Americans who work and live under stress worried over the reports. Somehow the research got boiled down to a memorable message. Womens magazines ran titles like Stress causes illness. If you want to stay physically and mentally healthy the articles said avoid

44、stressful events. But such simplistic advice is impossible to follow. Even if stressful events are dangerous , many like the death of a loved one are impossible to avoid. Moreover, any warning to avoid all stressful events is a prescription (处方) for staying away from chances as well as trouble. Sinc

45、e any change can be stressful, a person who wanted to be completely free of stress would never marry, have a child, take a new job or move. The idea that all stress makes you sick also takes no notice of a lot of what we know about people. It supposes we re all vulnerable and not active in the face

46、of the difficult situation. But what about human ability and creativity? Many come through periods of stress with more physical and mental strength than they had before. We also know that a long time without change or challenge can lead to boredom and physical and mental pressure. 56. The result of

D 主旨大意题。写这篇文章的目的就是就儿童不愿意读书的问题来介绍一种提高儿童读书的方法。(C) 51-55 CACAD(D) 56-60 ADDBC本文主要论述压力的产生及人人都不应该逃避压力。文中用了很多高级词汇，且有许多复杂难句，阅读时请注意认真分析。56A。主旨大意题。难度较大。根据文章前面的叙述，其意为“分数无法向你表明你怎样对待压力，只表明你承受多大程度的压力”。做题时，可以紧接着看后面一句，即你处理这些事件的方式会很戏剧性地影响你保持健康的机会。57D。细节理解题。文章中有“millions of

70、 Americans who work and live under stress worried over the reports”，表明这一阶段的研究给人带来更多的是担扰，并且从一些杂志用的标题上都可以显示出来。58D。推理判断题。根据文章第二自然段中“it only shows how much you have to deal”只是表明你承受多大程度的压力”可知。59B。推理判断题。根据上句所述”文章告诉我们应避免压力事件”，其实这是不可行的。从文章一开始就可以得知，无论是“悲伤还是喜悦”的事，都会带来压力，所以这种a小vice是不可行的，言外之意是没有哪个处方在减轻压力方面是奏效的。

In the game, the players need to grow vegetables with care. By harvesting the

74、 fruits, the players can gain profits. They can also steal others vegetables to increase their income effortlessly. The game Online vegetables which has gain popularity, has exerted great impact on people. To gain more profits, some players even get up at midnight to steal others vegetables. Some go

75、 to great lengths to list the time when others vegetables are ripe so as to gather in their fruits. Whats more, some players spend large sum of money buying fertilizer or other things to raise the vegetables. All these strange phenomena have aroused peoples concern. To me, the addiction to the game

76、is just beyond my comprehension and its not worthwhile. Although it can relieve some pressure of study or work, it is unreasonable to spend so much time and efforts on the growth of fake vegetables. The money they earn is nothing more than a number, which cant be used as a currency. Therefore, it is simply crazy to put your heart into the vegetables. Therefore, the game is not worth our time or efforts.欢迎广大教师踊跃来稿，稿酬丰厚。
