We have no 12 on the p

7、lane. We have a generator(发电机), and we are going to 13 the engines with it. We will 14 in the air and head to Norfolk, and see what happens. ”See what happens? We are going to get up in the air, and see what happens? At this point, one woman started crying. “Oh, no! We are going to 15 ！” There were

8、sighs of 16 and anxiety quickly spreading throughout the plane, and we hadnt even 17 yet. Thirty minutes passed and we were still 18 there. Then the voice of the pilot came over again,“ Ladies and gentlemen, I know you are 19 , so are we. We only have one engine going right now, and it is working do

9、uble time. ”There was crying 20 we had walked in to grave(坟墓). But the pilot told us our one engine was working double time, and his 21 was to get up in the air and see what happens! Then we did. We got up in the air and 22 happened. We arrived in Norfolk and everyone 23 for still being alive.Althou

10、gh I do sincerely like to have a plan 24 “see what happens”, it really isnt such a bad life strategy. All too often, I would see people pursuing their goals 25 with inaction just because they dont have 26 success. Actually, success will never be guaranteed. The 27 thing that you can do is just get u

11、p in the air, and see what happens.If you are planning to learn a new skill, “get up in the air, and see what happens!” It might not be as 28 as you thought.

(共20小题；每小题2分, 满分40分)AAs you grow older, youll be faced with some challenging decisionslike whether to cut class or try cigarettes. Making decisions on your own is hard enough, but when other people g

16、et involved and try to pressure you one way or another it can be even harder. People who are your age, like your classmates, are called peers. When they try to influence how you act, to get you to do something, its called peer pressure.Peers can have a positive influence on each other. Maybe another

17、 student in your science class taught you an easy way to remember the planets in the solar system. Maybe you got others excited about your new favorite book, and now everyones reading it. These are examples of how peers positively influence each other.Sometimes peers influence each other in negative

18、 ways. For example, a few kids in school might try to get you to cut class with them; your soccer friend might try to convince you to be mean to another player and never pass him the ball. If you continue to face peer pressure and youre finding it difficult to handle, talk to someone you trust. Dont

19、 feel guilty if youve made a mistake or two.31. For whom is the passage most probably written?A. Students. B. Parents. C. Teachers. D. Doctors.32. In the last three paragraphs, the author mainly_.A. explains why friendship is so importantB. gives advice on how to deal with peer pressureC. discusses

20、how peers influence usD. shows how to make more good friends33. Which of following may help handle peer pressure?A. Spending more time with classmates.B. Taking up more relaxing hobbies.C. Choosing friends with no bad habits.D. Helping others who are in trouble.34. What is the topic of the passage?A

21、. Friendship. B. Making decisions C. Self-confidence D. Peer pressureBHere is an astonishing and significant fact: Mental work alone cant make us tired. It sounds absurd. But a few years ago, scientists tried to find out how long the human brain could labor without reaching a stage of fatigue(疲劳). T

22、o the amazement of these scientists, they discovered that blood passing through the brain, when it is active, shows no fatigue at all! If we took a drop of blood from a day laborer, we could find it full of fatigue toxins(霉素) and fatigue products. But if we took blood from the brain of an Albert Ein

23、stein, it would show no fatigue toxins at the end of the day.So far as the brain is concerned, it can work as well and swiftly at the end of eight or even twelve hours of efforts as at the beginning. The brain is totally tireless. So what makes us tired?Some scientists declare that most of our fatig

24、ue comes from our mental and emotional(情感的) attitudes. One of Englands most outstanding scientists, J. A. Hadfield, says，“The greater part of the fatigue from which we suffer is of mental origin. In fact, fatigue of purely physical origin is rare.” Dr. Brill, a famous American scientist, goes even f

25、urther. He declares，“One hundred percent of the fatigue of a sitting worker in good health is due to emotional problems.”What kinds of emotions make sitting workers tired? Joy? Satisfaction? No! A feeling of being bored, anger, anxiety, tenseness, worry, a feeling of not being appreciatedthose are t

26、he emotions that tire sitting workers. Hard work by itself seldom causes fatigue. We get tired because our emotions produce nervousness in the body.35What surprised the scientists a few years ago?AFatigue toxins could hardly be found in a laborers blood.BAlbert Einstein didnt feel worn out after a d

27、ays work.CThe brain could work for many hours without fatigue.DA mental workers blood was filled with fatigue toxins.36According to the author, which of the following can make sitting workers tired?AChallenging mental work. BUnpleasant emotions. CEndless tasks. DPhysical labor.37Whats the authors at

28、titude towards the scientists ideas?AHe agrees with them. BHe doubts them.CHe argues against them. DHe hesitates to accept them.38We can infer from the passage that in order to stay energetic, sitting workers need to _.Ahave some good food Benjoy their workCexercise regularly Ddiscover fatigue toxin

29、sCChina is a land of bicycles. At least it was back in 1992 when I traveled the country. Back then everyone seemed to be riding a bicycle. Millions of them, all black. Cars were rare. Yet since my arrival in Beijing last year, Ive found the opposite is true. There are millions of cars. However, peop

30、le still use their bicycles to get around. For many, its the easiest and cheapest way to travel today. Bicycles also come in different colorssilver, green, red, blue, yellow, whatever you want.Its fun watching people biking. They rush quickly through crossroads, move skillfully through traffic, and

31、ride even on sidewalks(人行道). Bicycles allow people the freedom to move about that cars just cant provide.Eager to be part of this aspect of Chinese culture, I decided to buy a bicycle. Great weather accompanied my great buy. I immediately jumped up on my bicycle seat and started home.My first ride h

32、ome was orderly(守秩序的). To be safe, I stayed with a “pack” of bikers while cars on the streets came running swiftly out of nowhere at times. I didnt want to get hit. So I took the ride carefully.Crossing the streets was the biggest problem. It was a lot like crossing a major highway back in the Unite

33、d States. The streets here were wide, so crossing took time, skill and a little bit of luck.I finally made it home. The feeling on the bicycle was amazing. The air hitting my face and going through my hair was wonderful. I was sitting on top of the world as I passed by places and people. Biking made

34、 me feel alive.39According to the author, why are bicycles still popular in China today?ABecause they are traditional and safe.BBecause they are convenient and inexpensive.CBecause they are colorful and available.DBecause they are fast and environment friendly.40The author decided to buy a bicycle b

35、ecause he intended _.Ato ride it for fun Bto use it for transportCto experience local culture Dto improve his riding skills41How did the author feel about his street crossing?AIt was boring. BIt was difficult.CIt was lively. DIt was wonderful.42Which of the following best describes the authors bikin

36、g experience?AThe author enjoyed showing off his biking skills.BThe author was annoyed by the air while riding.CThe author was praised by the other bikers.DThe author took great pleasure in biking.DWhen asked about happiness, we usually think of something extraordinary, an absolute delight, which se

37、ems to get rarer the older we get.For kids, happiness has a magical quality. Their delight at winning a race or getting a new bike is unreserved(毫不掩饰的)In the teenage years the concept of happiness changes. Suddenly its conditional on such things as excitement, love and popularity. I can still recall

38、 the excitement of being invited to dance with the most attractive boy at the school party.In adulthood the things that bring deep joylove, marriage, birthalso bring responsibility and the risk of loss. For adults, happiness is complicated(复杂的)My definition of happiness is “the capacity for enjoymen

39、t”. The more we can enjoy what we have, the happier we are. Its easy to overlook the pleasure we get from the company of friends, the freedom to live where we please, and even good health.I experienced my little moments of pleasure yesterday. First I was overjoyed when I shut the last lunchbox and h

40、ad the house to myself. Then I spent an uninterrupted morning writing, which I love. When the kids and my husband came home, I enjoyed their noise after the quiet of the day.Psychologists tell us that to be happy we need a mix of enjoyable leisure time and satisfying work. I dont think that my grand

41、mother, who raised 14 children, had much of either. She did have a network of close friends and family, and maybe this is what satisfied her.We, however, with so many choices and such pressure to succeed in every area, have turned happiness into one more thing weve got to have. Were so selfconscious

42、 about our “right” to it that its making us miserable. So we chase it and equal it with wealth and success, without noticing that the people who have those things arent necessarily happier.Happiness isnt about what happens to usits about how we see what happens to us. Its the skillful way of finding

43、 a positive for every negative. Its not wishing for what we dont have, but enjoying what we do possess.43As people grow older, they _.Afeel it harder to experience happiness Bassociate their happiness less with others Cwill take fewer risks in pursuing happiness Dtend to believe responsibility means

44、 happiness44What can we learn about the author from Paragraph 5 and 6?AShe cares little about her own health. BShe enjoys the freedom of traveling. CShe is easily pleased by things in daily life. DShe prefers getting pleasure from housework.45What can be informed from Paragraph 7?APsychologists thin

45、k satisfying work is key to happiness. BPsychologists opinion is well proved by Grandma case. CGrandma often found time for social gatherings. DGrandmas happiness came from modest expectations of life.46People who equal happiness with wealth and success _.Aconsider pressure something blocking their

46、way Bstress their right to happiness too much Care at a loss to make correct choices Dare more likely to be happyENo one likes to make mistakes. But a new study says organizations learn more from their failures than from their successes, and keep that knowledge longer.One of the researchers was Vini

47、t Desai, an assistant professor at the University of Colorado Denver Business School. He worked with Peter Madsen from the Marriott School of Management at Brigham Young University in Utah.They did not find much long-term organizational learning from success.

NASA officials suspended all flights and an investigation led to suggested changes.Professor Desai says the search for solutions after a failure can make leaders more-minded.

Sometimes a certain situation or a certain person just pushes our buttons, making it much more difficult for us to remain patient. Once

61、 you lose patience, things tend to go wrong. It becomes harder to concentrate, and it becomes harder to be polite to other people.2_ takes time and it takes patience to learn to be patient. Patience is acquired as you acquire wisdom, and wisdom is the child of experience. No one is born wise, just a

62、s no one is born patient. As you learn and grow and experience things in life, you become wiser and learn how to interact with difficult kinds of people.3For example, you start your first job in a big office, and you dont really know how to work with lots of people.

63、 had the experience of working in an office before. At first, it might be difficult to understand your job.
