34、in the future when Earths resources have run out, director James Camerons film tells the story of a corporation trying to mine a rare mineral.The humans conflict with the natives a peace-loving race of 7ft tall, blue-skinned creatures called the Navi, who exist in perfect harmony with nature.Fans ha

36、irst time yesterday, the world seemed grey. It just seems so meaningless.”“I still dont really see any reason to keep doing things at all. I live in a dying world.”On another site, one fan was even more affected, admitting, “I even consider suicide, thinking that if I do it I will be rebirthed in a

37、world similar to Pandora.”On the Avatar site Naviblue, a fan calling himself Jorba has even asked others to join him in starting a real Navi tribe（部落）.Dr Stephan Quentzel, psychiatrist（精神病医生）and Medical Director in New York told CNN, “Virtual life is not real life and it never will be, but this is t

52、urfboardsCIn modern society there is a great deal of argument about competition. Some values it highly, believing that it is responsible for social progress and prosperity（繁荣）. Others say that competition is bad because it sets one person against another and it leads to unfriendly relationships betw

53、een people.I have taught many children who held the belief that their self-worth relied on how well they performed at tennis and other skills. For them, playing well and winning are often life-and-death affairs. In their single-minded pursuit（追求）of success, the development of many other human qualit

54、ies is sadly forgotten.However, while some seem to be lost in the desire to succeed, others take an opposite attitude. In a culture which values only the winners and pays no attention to the ordinary players, they strongly blame competition. Among the most vocal are youngsters who have suffered unde

55、r competitive pressures from their parents or society. Teaching these young people, I often observe in them a desire to fail. They seem to seek failure by not trying to win or achieve success. By not trying, they always have an excuse, “I may have lost, but it doesnt matter because I really didnt tr

56、y.” What is not usually admitted by themselves is the belief that if they had really tried and lost, that would mean a lot. Such a loss would be a measure of their worth. Clearly, this belief is the same as that of the true competitors who try to prove themselves. Both are based on the mistaken beli

57、ef that ones self-respect relies on how well one performs in comparison with others. Both are afraid of not being valued. Only as this basic and often troublesome fear begins to dissolve（消失） can we discover a new meaning in competition.74. What does this passage mainly talk about?A. Competition help

58、s to set up self-respect.B. Opinions about competition are different among people.C. Competition is harmful to personal quality development.D. Failures are necessary experiences in competition.75. The underlined phrase “the most vocal” in Paragraph 3 means _.A. those who try their best to winB. thos

59、e who value competition most highlyC. those who are against competition most stronglyD. those who rely on others most for success76. What is the similar belief of the true competitors and those with a desire to fail?A. Ones worth lies in his performance compared with others.B. Ones success in compet

60、ition needs great efforts.C. Ones achievement is determined by his particular.D. Ones success is based on how hard he has tried.77. Which point of view may the author agree to?A. Every effort should be paid back.B. Competition should be encouraged.C. Winning should be a life-and-death matter.D. Fear

61、 of failure should be removed in competition.DBe careful! Someone may use the truth to deceive. When he tells you something that is true, but leaves out important information that should be included, he can create a false impression.For example, someone might say, “I just won a hundred dollars on th

62、e lottery（彩票）. It was great. I took that dollar ticket back to the store and turned it in for one hundred dollars!” This guys a winner, right? Maybe, maybe not. We then discover that he bought two hundred tickets, and only one was a winner. Hes really a big loser!He didnt say anything that was false

63、, but he purposely left out important information. Thats called a half-truth. Half-truths are not technically lies, but they are just as dishonest.Untrustworthy candidates in political campaigns often use this tactic. Lets say that during Governor Smiths last term, her state lost one million jobs an

64、d gained three million jobs. Then she seeks（寻求）another term（任期）. One of her opponents（对手） runs an ad saying, “During Governor Smiths term, the state lost one million jobs!” Thats true. However an honest statement would have been, “During Governor Smiths term, the state had a net（净）gain of two millio

65、n jobs.” Advertisers will sometimes use half-truths. Its against the law to make false claims so they try to mislead you with the truth. An ad might boast（吹牛）, “Nine out of ten doctors recommend Yucky Pills to cure nose pimples（丘疹）.” It fails to mention that they only asked ten doctors and nine of t

66、hem work for the Yucky Corporation.This kind of deception happens too often. Its a sad fact of life: Lies are lies, and sometimes the truth can lie as well.78. Which statement is true according to the article?A. Whenever people tell the truth, they are really lying.B. You cant trust gamblers（赌徒）.C.

67、All governors help their states.D. The truth can be used in dishonest ways.79. The underlined word “deceive” in the first sentence means _.A. removing ones teeth in publicB. ignore warningsC. foolD. repair80. The author clearly wants people to _.A. think carefully about what they read and hearB. wea

68、r mismatched socks during political campaignsC. never trust anyoneD. vote for female candidates81. An appropriate title for this passage would be _.A. Half-truthB. Everyone LiesC. Lying With the TruthD. Nose Pimples 卷II (满分31分)（请将答案认真誊写到答题纸上） V. 单词拼写（共12小题；每小题0.5分，满分6分）1. Shelly has been preparing c
