14、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, you are a loser.

15、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 overcoming problems. For

16、 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 on the job for la

17、ck 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 successfully regardless

18、 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 as anybody else.

19、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, winners_.A. dea

20、l 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.

When problems occur, winners take them as_ A. excuses for their failures B. barriers to gre

22、ater 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. A Winners Problem.C. A Winners Opportnnity. D. A Winners Achievement.B If you look for a book as a present for a child. You will be spoiled

23、 for choice even in a year when there is no new Harry Patten J.K Powlings wizard. 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 increasingly unpo

24、pular 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 books boom has a

25、ffected 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 six year olds, who

26、receive four months of individual daily half-hour classes with a specially trained teacher. An evaluation either this year reported that children on the school made 20 months progress in just one year, whereas similarly weak readers without special help made just five months progress, and so ended t

27、he 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 report lifelong plea

28、sure and loving books is an excellent indicator of future educational success. According to the OECD, being a regular and enthusiastic reader is of great advantage. 46.

33、 reading CHe was just 12 years old when he died. But he brought courage and hope to people around the world.Nkosi Johnson, who died last June, is remembered today as an AIDS fighter. This young boy challenged his governments AIDS policies and millions of South Africans in the fight against the disea

34、se.Johnson was the longest survivor born HIV positive（艾滋病病毒携带者）.He survived with this deadly disease for 12 years before it claimed his life.At first, Johnson was expected to live for nine months when his foster mother, Gail Johnson took him in at the age of two. She now runs Nkosis Haven across tow

35、n from her house in Melville. The Haven is home to 20 children living with HIV or AIDS, and 11 of their mothers.Johnson attracted the worlds attention and stole the hearts of thousands of people across the world at the 13th International AIDS Conference in Durban in July 2000. He stood in front of a

36、 large audience including South African President Thabo Mbeki. He told them that he wanted AZT, a drug used to treat AIDS patients, to be given to HIV-positive pregnant（怀孕的） women to prevent the disease being passed on to their unborn babies. He received a loud cheer at the end of his speech.Johnson

37、s speech was broadcast live across the world. With views beyond his age and even a sense of humor, Johnson soon became an international sign of the fight against AIDS and HIV.51The underlined words “claimed his life” (Paragraph 3) means _.Adid harm to Johnsons life Bhelped Johnson to surviveCcaused

38、the death of Johnson Dmade Johnson weak52The main idea in paragraphs 5 and 6 is _.AJohnson attracted the worlds attentionBJohnson stood in front of South African President Thabo MbekiCJohnson wanted AZT to treat AIDS pregnant womenDJohnson helped prevent the disease being passed on to an unborn baby

39、53The AIDS child gave the speech in order to _.Asteal the hearts of thousands of people Bbe an AIDS fighterCget more help from the world Dfight against the government54From the passage we can infer that _.Athe governments AIDS policies have to be improvedBthe government did nothing to help those wit

40、h HIV positiveCthe boys speech changed the governments policiesDno one lived longer than the boy55The best title for this passage is .AThe Sad Story of an AIDS Child.BThe Courage of an AIDS ChildCAIDS, a Deadly DiseaseDA Hero in South AfricaDIn the 1960s, medical researchers Thomas Holmes and Richar

41、d 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-Rahe test you mu

42、st 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 followed Holmes and

43、 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 stressful events.

44、 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. Since any change can

45、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 of the difficult

46、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 Holmes-Rahes medi

47、cal research tells us _. A. the way you deal with major events may cause stress B. what should be done to avoid stress C. what kind of event would cause stress D. how to deal with sudden changes in life57. The studies on stress in the early 1970s led to _. A. popular avoidance of stressful jobs B. g

48、reat fear over the mental disorderC. a careful research into stress-related illnesses D. widespread worry about its harmful effects58. The score of the Holmes-Rahe test shows _.A. how you can deal with life-changing events B. how helpful events can change your lifeC. how stressful a major event can

49、be D. how much pressure you are under59. Why is “such simplistic advice” (Line 1, Paragraph 3) impossible to follow? A. No one can stay on the same job for long. B. No prescription is effective in reducing stress.C. People have to get married someday. D. You could be missing chances as well.60. Acco

70、rk 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。60C。推理判断题。经历过ups
