8、 readers around the world were astonished by some photographs which appeared in newspapers.

They didnt have an agricultural eco

9、nomy; they hunted animals and _18_ fruit from the plants in the rainforest. They carried tools made of stone, lived in _19_ and wore clothes made of leaves. Unknown until 1971, they 20 became world famous. After that, there were TV 21 and books about them; people said their simple lives showed that

10、human beings could be good and kind if they were not 22 by modern life. Then after 1974 the region was closed by the government and the world 23 about them.In 1986, a Swiss journalist, Oswald Iten, decided to visit the Tasaday. The journey _24_ thick rainforests and across rivers was hard and danger

11、ous. Mr. Iten was 25 killed by the soldiers, villagers and businessmen who wanted to take the wood from the rainforest. Finally, Mr. Iten 26 and found the caves of the Tasaday 27 . The people were living in nearby huts and they were all 28 jeans and T-shirts, not leaves. He thought that perhaps they

12、 were not an ethnic minority 29 .When he 30 to Switzerland, Mr. Iten wrote about the Tasaday people in the newspapers. He said he thought that they were just ordinary farmers, poor, but not 31 from anyone else. He believed that in 1971, the government told “the Tasaday” to 32 they were native people

17、lar saying goes, “Sticks and stone may break my bones, but words will never hurt me.” However, thats not really true. Words have the power to build us up or tear us down. It doesnt matter if the words come from someone else or ourselves the positive and negative effects are just as lasting.We all ta

18、lk to ourselves sometimes. Were usually too embarrassed to admit it, though. But we really shouldnt be, because more and more experts believe talking to ourselves out loud is a healthy habit.This “self-talk” helps us motivate ourselves, remember things, solves problems, and calm ourselves down. Bewa

19、re, though, that as much as 77% of self-talk tends to be negative. So in order to stay positive, we should only speak words of encouragement to ourselves. We should also be quick to give ourselves a pat on the back. The next time you finish a project, do well in a test, or finally clean your room, j

20、oin me in saying, “Good job!”Words possess power because of their lasting effects. Many of us regret something we once said. And we remember unkind words said to us! Before speaking, we should always ask ourselves: Is it true? Is it loving? Is it needed? If what we want to say doesnt pass this test,

21、 then its better left unsaid.Words possess power: both positive and negative. Those around us receive encouragement when we speak positively. We can offer hope, build self-esteem(自尊) and motive others to do their best. Negative words destroy all those things. Will we use our words to hurt or to heal

22、? The choice is ours.36The author argues in the first paragraph that _.Awords will never hurt us at all Bwords have lasting effects on usCpositive effects last longer than negative effectsDnegative words last longer than positive effects37Why should we not feel embarrassed when talking to ourselves?

23、AAlmost everybody has the habit of talking to oneself.BIt does harm to have “self-talk” when we are alone.CTalking to ourselves helps us to solve all the problems.DTalking to ourselves is believed to be good for our health.38The underlined phrase “give ourselves a pat on the back” in Paragraph 3 mea

24、ns _.Ablame ourselves Bpunish ourselves Cpraise ourselves Dtalk to ourselves39Which of the following statements would the author agree to?AIt is better to think twice before talking to others.BIt is impossible for unkind words to be forgotten.CWords always possess long positive effects.DKind words a

25、re sometimes not needed at all.BWASHINGTON Barack Obama swept to victory as the first black president in the US history Tuesday night in an electoral college landslide that overcame racial barriers as old as America itself. Change has come, he told a huge group of cheering supporters.In his first sp

26、eech as victor, Obama catalogued the challenges ahead. The greatest of a lifetime, he said, two wars, a planet in danger, the worst financial crisis in a century.He added, There are many who wont agree with every decision or policy I make as president, and we know that government cant solve every pr

27、oblem. But I will always be honest with you about the challenges we face.The son of a black father from Kenya and a white mother from Kansas, the Democratic senator from Illinois sealed his historic triumph by defeating Republican Sen. John McCain in a string of wins in hard-fought battleground stat

28、es - Ohio, Florida, Virginia, Iowa and more.In his speech, Obama invoked (引用) the words of Lincoln and echoed John F. Kennedy.So let us summon a new spirit of patriotism, of service and responsibility where each of us resolves to pitch in (努力投入) and work harder, he said.He and his running mate, Jose

29、ph Biden of Delaware, will take their oaths（宣誓）of office as president and vice president on Jan. 20, 2009.Obama will move into the Oval Office as leader of a country that is almost certainly in recession (不景气), and fighting two long wars, one in Iraq, the other in Afghanistan.Obama has said his firs

30、t order of presidential business will be to tackle the economy. He has also pledged to withdraw most US combat troops from Iraq within 16 months.40. What is special about Barack Obama, the newly-elected president of the United States?A. He has a black father and a white mother. B. He is the first bl

31、ack president in the US history. C. He defeated Republican Sen. John McCain easily. D. He will move into the White Palace on Jan. 20, 2009.41. What Obama emphasized in his first speech were _. A. dangers B. wars C. challenges D. financial problems42. The first issue Obama will focus his attention on

32、 may probably be to _.A. withdraw most US combat troops from Iraq B. care for environmental protection C. declare two wars in Iraq and Afghanistan D. deal with the problems of economy43. According to the passage, Obamas attitude toward the challenges he faces is _. A. positive B. negative C. ambiguo

33、us D. worriedCIt is true that shyness can be a disadvantage socially for those who suffer from it seriously. I mean real shyness, not somebody who is simply quiet. Quiet people could be shy, but on the other hand, they may just be observing because they are unsure of you or others in your company. T

34、hey may be capable of being extrovert (性格外向的) and sociable, but on some particular occasions, they are quiet.I have learnt from my experience that those who observe and listen more and talk less can gain a position of strength. This means that even a very shy person, the type who is reluctant to tal

35、k in company (在交际场合) , especially new company, can become a strong person in just about anything they choose. Remember, knowledge is power, and a shy introvert (性格内向的人) is in a better position to gain knowledge than an extrovert. Introverted people can give great attention to learning, and as good l

36、isteners they can take in an enormous amount from others. Over time, people can come to respect them far more than the extrovert who speaks a lot. Usually about themselves.What does it take , then for a very shy person to be that successful person they have always wanted to be ? They may only need o

37、ne more thing to push themselves on their way. They need to dare themselves to take the leap; and when they do , they will probably find all the knowledge they have gained over the years will help them on their way to the top in their chosen field.44. What does the first paragraph mainly want to tel

38、l us?A. A person who is quiet may not be shy. B. A shy person may not be a calm one.C. Quiet people are usually doubtful. D. Shyness is sometimes a bad feature.45. The underlined word “reluctant” in paragraph 2 probably means _.A. lazy B. careful C. eager D. unwilling46. According to the author, int

39、roverted people can be successful because they usually _.A. have a strong will B. talk less and show off lessC. learn more than extroverts D. have a good attitude to learning47. It can be learned from the last paragraph that “one more thing” probably refers to _.A. energy B. courage C. quietness D.

40、knowledgeDSports is not only physically challenging, but it can also mentally challenging. Criticism（批评）from coaches(trainers), parents, and other teammates, as well as pressure to win can create too much anxiety or stress for young athletes. Stress can be physical, emotional, or psychological, and

41、research has showed that it can lead to burnout. Burnout has been described as dropping or quitting of an activity that was at one time enjoyable.The early years of development are critical years for learning about oneself. The sport setting is one where valuable experiences can take place. Young at

42、hletes can, for example, learn how to cooperate with others, make friends, and gain other social skills that will be used throughout their lives. Coaches and parents should be aware(realize), at all times, that their feedback（反馈）to youngsters can greatly affect their children. Youngsters may take th

43、eir parents and coaches criticisms to heart and find a flaw（缺陷） in themselves.Coaches and parents should also be cautious(careful) that youth sport participation does not become work for children. The outcome of the game should not be more important than the process of learning the sport and other l

44、ife lessons. In todays youth sport setting, young athletes may be worrying more about who will win instead of enjoying themselves and the sport. Following a game, many parents and coaches focus on(pay more attention to) the outcome and find fault with youngsters performances. Positive reinforcement

45、should be provided in spite of the outcome. Research shows that positive reinforcement motivates and has a greater effect on learning than criticism. Again, criticism can create high levels of stress(pressure), which can lead to burnout.48. According to the passage sport is positive for young people

46、 in that .A. it can help them learn more about societyB. it teaches them how to set realistic goals for themselvesC. it enables them to find flaws in themselvesD. it can provide them with valuable experiences49. According to the passage parents and coaches should .A. help children to win every gameB

47、. pay more attention to letting children enjoy sportsC. enable children to understand the positive aspect of sportsD. train children to deal with stress50. The authors purpose in writing the passage is .A. to persuade young children not to worry about criticismB. to emphasize the importance of posit

48、ive reinforcement to childrenC. to discuss the skill of combing criticism with encouragementD. to teach young athletes how to avoid burnout第二卷（共五大题，满分55分）IV. 单词拼写 根据所给句子和汉语注释或英文首字母拼写单词。（共10小题，每小题1分，计10分） 51.

Besides, you will say, isnt it important to have a telephone in case of sudden emergencyillness, accident, or fire? Of

57、 course, you are right, but here in a thickly populated country like England one is seldom far from a telephone in case of dreadful necessity.I think perhaps I had better try to justify (证明是有理的) myself by trying to prove that what I like is good. I admit that in different circumstancesif I were a we

58、althy and powerful businessperson, for instance, or badly ill and had to lie in bed, I might find a telephone a necessity. But then if I were a taxi-driver I should find a car as necessity.
