28、d A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context. Because conflict and disagreements are part of all close relationships, couples need to learn strategies for managing conflict in a healthy and constructive way. Some couples just_50_ and deny the presence of any

29、 conflict in a relationship. _51_ ,denying the existence of conflict results in couples _52_ to solve their problems at early_53_ ,which can then lead to even greater problems later on .Not surprisingly, expressing anger and disagreement leads to lower marital (婚姻的)satisfaction at the beginning.

30、ever, this pattern of behavior _54_ increases in marital satisfaction over time. Research suggests that working through conflicts is an important predictor of marital satisfaction.So, what can you do to manage conflict in your own relationships? First, try to understand the other persons point of vi

31、ew_55_ put yourself in his of her place. People who are _56_ to what their partner thinks and feels _57_ greater relationship satisfaction.

38、homore (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 the test, only to find I could not answer the questions correctly. I would blank out

39、 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 test was very difficult. Then, on the second test, I sat down to take it, and I was so

40、 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 were experiencing something called test anxiety. Because a student worries and is uneas

41、y 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 are often a result of poor study habits, sometimes test anxiety plays a role in stude

42、nts 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 courses, advisors try to help students by teaching them how to manage test anxiety. At

43、 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 to relax their bodies. Students are trained to become calm in very tense situations.

44、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, relaxation and less stress are felt after taking our program. Most of them experience

45、 better control during their tests. Almost all have some improvement. With some, the improvement is very great. 65.

55、)onto Facebook with the promise of a fun, free service without realizing theyre paying for it by giving up large amounts of personal information. Facebook then attempts to make money by selling their data to advertisers that want to send targeted messages.Most Facebook users dont realize this is hap

56、pening. Even if they know what the company is up to, they still have no idea what theyre paying for Facebook because people dont really know what their personal data is worth.The biggest problem, however, is that the company keeps changing the rules. Early on, you keep everything private. That was t

57、he great thing about facebookyou could create your own little private network. Last year, the company changed its privacy rules so that many things your city, your photo, your friends nameswere set, by default (默认)to be shared with everyone on the Internet.According to Facebooks vice-president Ellio

58、t Schrage, the company is simply making changes to improve its service, and if people dont share information, they have a “less satisfying experience”.Some critics think this is more about Facebook looking to make more money. Its original business model， which involved selling ads and putting them a

59、t the side of the page， totally failed. Who wants to look at ads when theyre online connecting with their friends?The privacy issue has already landed Facebook in hot water in Washington. In April. Senator Charles Schumer called on Facebook to change its privacy policy. He also urged the Federal Tra

60、de Commission to set guidelines for social-networking sites.“I think the senator rightly communicated that we had not been clear about what the new products were and how people could choose to use them or not to use them,” Schrage admits.I suspect that whatever Facebook has done so far to invade our

61、 privacy, its only the beginning, which is why Im considering deactivating(撤销)my account. Facebook is a handy site, but Im upset by the idea that my information is in the hands of people I dont know. Thats too high a price to pay.72.

67、o ensure a safe landing in early adulthood for their kids. Even if a jobs starting salary seems too small to satisfy an emerging adults need for rapid content, the transition from school to work can be less of a setback if the start-up adult is ready for the move. Here are a few measures, drawn from

68、 my book Ready or Not, Here Life Comes, which parents can take to prevent what I call “work-life unreadiness.”76. _You can start this process when they are 11 or 12. Regularly review their emerging strengths and weaknesses with them and work together on any shortcomings, like difficulty in communica

69、ting well or cooperating. Also, identify the kinds of interests they keep coming back to, as these offer clues to the careers that will fit them best.77. _Kids need a range of real role models. Have regular dinner-table discussions about people the family knows and how they got where they are. Discu

70、ss the advantages and disadvantages of your own career and encourage your kids to form some ideas about their own future. When asked what they want to do, they should be discouraged from saying “I have no idea.” They can change their minds 200 times, but having only a foggy view of the future is of

71、little good.78. _Teachers are responsible for teaching kids how to learn; parents should be responsible for teaching them how to work. Assign responsibilities around the house and make sure homework deadlines are met. Encourage teenagers to take a part-time job. Kids need plenty of practice developi

72、ng effective organizational skills, such as managing time and setting priorities(优先).79. _Playing video games encourages immediate content（满足）. And hours of watching TV shows with canned laughter only teaches kids to process information in a passive way. At the same time, listening through earphones

73、 to the songs for a long time encourages kids to stay inside instead of participating in other outdoor activities. All these activities can prevent the growth of childrens communication and thinking skills and make it difficult for kids to develop the kind of sustained (持续的) concentration they will

74、need for most jobs.80. _They should know how to deal with setbacks, stresses and feelings of inadequacy. They should also learn how to solve problems and resolve conflicts, ways to brainstorm and think critically. Discussions at home can help kids practice doing these things and help them apply thes

75、e skills to everyday life situations.What about the son or daughter who is grown but seems to be struggling and wandering aimlessly through early adulthood? Parents still have a major role to play, but now it is more delicate. Most of all, these new adults must feel that they are respected and suppo

76、rted by a family that appreciates them.Section DDirections: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words. Well, to pick up where we left off last time, I believe we agreed that creativity is a mysterious idea. It is those things we all

77、 recognize when we see it, but we dont really understand what it is. We seem to feel that some people are naturally creative, but we dont know how they got that way. Is creativity a natural gift like good looks, or is it something that can be acquired like knowledge? Perhaps if we analyze the creati

78、ve process carefully, we might get some insight into what it is and how it might work in our lives. The creative process has always been accepted as the source of all important work in the arts, but we should not think the creativity plays a role only in the arts. Every major scientific discovery be

79、gan with someone imagining the world to look differently from the way others saw it. And this is what creativity is all about - imagining the world in a new way. And despite what you may believe about the limits of your own creative imaginations, we all have the potential to imagine the world in an

80、absolutely new way. In fact, you are born with it. It is your birth right as a human being. And whats more, you use it every day, almost every moment of your life. Your creative imagination is what you use to make sense of your experiences. (Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in N

81、O MORE THAN 10 WORDS.)81. What did the speaker most probably discuss last time? _82. _ is the widely accepted idea about the creative process.83. _ leads to major scientific discoveries according to the speaker?84.

The passages will be read twice, b

91、ut the questions will be spoken only once. When you hear a question, read the four possible answers on your paper and decide which one would be the best answer to the question you have heard.Questions 11 through 13 are based on the following passage.It was a bad night for Lewis. His research in the

92、neighboring town has taken longer than he expected. It was late and he was very tired when he drove home. He turned into his buildings parking lot, but all the spaces were full. He drove back out onto the street, looking for a parking space. The first block was full. The next block was almost empty.

93、 Lewis didnt see a “no parking” sign, but he had expected that his parking were allowed there. Most the spaces would be filled. Then he saw a small parking lot with two free spaces. He was so glad to see them that he didnt even think to read the sign by the entrance. He drove in, parked and hurried

94、home to go to bed. The next morning he went back to the lot to get his car. It was gone. He ran home and telephoned the city police to say that his car had been stolen. It took the police only a minute to tell him what had happened: his car had been on a private lot. It had been taken away by the po

95、lice. Lewis had to take a taxi to visit the city garage far from the city center. He had to pay a fee of 40 dollars to get his car back. In addition, he got a parking ticket, his first one ever in Greenville。Questions:11: Where did Lewis intend to park his car when he came back from work one night?1

96、2: What did Lewis think had happened to his car the next morning?13: Where did Lewis finally get his car back?Questions 14 through 16 are based on the following passage.Many people catch a cold in the spring time or fall. It makes us wonder if scientists can send a man to the moon, why cant they fin

97、d a cure for the common cold? The answer is easy. Therere actually hundreds of kinds of cold viruses out there. You never know which one you will get, so there isnt a cure for each one. When a virus attacks your body, your body works hard to get rid of it. Blood rushes to your nose and causes a bloc

98、k in it. You feel terrible because you cant breathe well, but your body is actually eating the virus. Your temperature rises and you get a fever, but the heat of your body is killing the virus. You also have a running nose to stop the virus from getting into your cells. You may feel miserable, but a

99、ctually your wonderful body is doing everything it can to kill the cold. There are different ways to treat colds in different cultures. In the United States and some other countries, for example, people might eat chicken soup to feel better. Some people take hot bath and drink warm liquids. Other pe

100、ople take medicines to relieve various symptoms of colds. There was one interesting thing to note. Some scientists say taking medicines when you have a cold is actually bad for you. The virus stays in you longer, because your body doesnt develop a way to fight it and kill it.Questions:14. According

101、to the passage, why havent scientists found a cure for the common cold?15. What does the speaker say about the symptoms of the common cold?16. What do some scientists say about taking medicines for the common cold, according to the passage?Blanks 17 through 20 are based on the following conversation
