Maybe youve used them to describe 17 .These comments may come from stories about us that have been 18 for yearsoften from19 childhood. These stories may have no 20 in fact. But they can set low expectations for us. As a child, my mother said to me, “Marshall, you have no mechanical skills, and you will never have any mechanical skills for the rest of your life.” How did these expectations 21 my development? I was never 22 to work on cars or be around 23 . When I was 18, I took the US Armys Mechanical Aptitude Test. My scores were in the bottom for the entire nation!Six years later, 24 , I was at California University, working on my doctors degree. One of my professors, Dr. Bob Tannbaum, asked me to write down things I did well and things I couldnt do. On the positive side, I 25 down, “research, writing, analysis, and speaking.” On the 26 side, I wrote, “I have no mechanical skills.”Bob asked me how I knew I had no mechanical skills. I explained my life 27 and told him about my 28 performance on the Army test. Bob then asked, “ 29 is it that you can solve 30 mathematical problems, but you cant solve simple mechanical problems?”Suddenly I realized that I didnt 31 from some sort of genetic defect. I was just living out expectations that I had chosen to 32. At that point, it wasnt just my family and friends who had been 33 my belief that I was mechanically hopeless. And it wasnt just the Army test, either. I was the one who kept telling myself, “You cant do this!” I realized that as long as I kept saying that, it was going to remain true. 34 , if we dont treat ourselves as if we have incurable genetic defects, we can do well in almost 35 we choose.16.

Every day, millions of Americans buy lottery tickets. They are hoping to win $50,000, $100,000, $1,000,000 or more.When a person wins a million dollars, he doesnt receive a check for the total amount. The person receives $50,000 a year for 20 years. Also, he must pay taxes. After taxes, a million-dollar winner receives from $25,000 to $40,000 a year for 20 years.What have some people done with their money? Lets look at three former winners. Lisa K. was working as a cashier in a supermarket. In August, Lisa bought one ticket and won two million dollars. She quit her job and is now attending art school. Lisa says, “If I dont become an artist, its my own fault. I have the opportunity now.”Mark L. was a car salesperson. He worked seven days a week and had little time for family life. After he won three million dollars, he quit working. Now he spends his time bowling, working in the garden, and fixing things in his house. But, hes bored. He doesnt want to sell cars again, but he isnt sure what he wants to do with his life.Jack B.s winning ticket was worth two million dollars. He is one of the small numbers of winners who did not quit their jobs. Jack still teaches English at a high school in his area. But he and his wife now have a new car in the garage. They take their four children on an interesting vacation every year. And they dont worry about sending their children to college. They say that money brings security and gives a person opportunity, but it doesnt bring happiness. 36. After taxes, how much does a million-dollar lottery winner receive each year? A. $1,000,000.B. $50,000. C. $25,000 to $40,000. D. $100,000.37. What did most of the winners do after they won the lottery? A. They bought new cars. B. They quit their jobs. C.

She wants to quit her job. D. She wants to be a teacher. BThe word “sport” first meant something that people did in their free time. Later it often meant hunting wild animals and birds. About a hundred years ago the word was first used for organized games. This is the usual meaning of the word today. People spend a lot of time playing football, basketball, tennis and many other sports. Such people play because they learnt to. A few people are paid for the sport they play. These people are called professional sportsmen. They may be sportsmen for only a few years, but during that time the best ones can earn a lot of money. For example, a professional football player in England earns more than 300，000 dollars a year. The stars earn a lot more. International golf and tennis champions can make more than 500，000 dollars a year. Of course, only a few sportsmen can earn as much as that.Perhaps the most surprising thing about sportsmen and money is that the stars can earn more money from advertising than from sports. An advertisement for sports equipment does not simply tell people: “Buy our things!” It says, “Buy the same shirt and shoes as the sports stars do!” Famous sportsmen can even advertise things like watches and food. They allow the companies to use their names or a photograph of them and they are paid for this. Sport is no longer just something for peoples spare time.39. From the passage we can learn that_. A. famous people spend too much money and time on sports B. the development of sports is slower than any other activity C. most people enjoy sports because they can earn a lot of money D. now sport is not only a pastime for people40. In this passage “professional sportsmen” means people _ . A. who teach others how to make money in sports B. who take sports as their jobs C. who are very fond of sports D. who teach other sportsmen how to play games41. Now, the word “sport” means_ .A. what most of the people do in their spare time B. hunting wild animals and birds in the forests C. organized games D. something that people are paid to do42. Which of the following statement is TRUE according to the passage? A. Most people play sports only for money. B. Those who play sports earn more than those who do not. C. People play sports for different purposes. D. Those who play sports want to keep strong and fit.43. What surprises people most is that_ . A. the sports stars get more money from advertising B. the word “sport” means hunting wild animals and birds C. professional sportsmen are paid for what they do D. only a few sportsmen can earn $ 500, 000 a yearCThe other Europeans think the best known quality of the British is” reserved”. A reserved person is one who does not talk very much to strangers, does not show much emotion, and seldom gets excited. It is difficult to get to know a reserved person: he never tells you anything about himself, and you may work with him for years without ever knowing where he lives, how many children he has, and what his interests are. English people tend to be like that.Closely related to English reserve is English modesty（谦慎）. Within their hearts, the English are perhaps no less conceited(自负) than anybody else, but in their relations with others they value at least a show of modesty. Self-praise is felt to be impolite. If a person is, let us say, very good at tennis and someone asks him if he is a good player, he will seldom reply“Yes,” because people will think him conceited. He will probably give an answer like, “I am not bad,” or “Well, Im very keen on(对热衷) tennis.” Even if he had managed to reach the finals in last years local championships, he would say it was only due to a piece of good luck.Since reserve and modesty are part of his own nature, the typical English tends to expect them in others. He secretly looks down on more excitable nations, and think of himself as more reliable（可靠的） than them. He doesnt trust big promises and open shows of feelings, especially if they are expressed in flowery language. He doesnt trust self-praise of any kind. To those who are fond of flowery expressions, the Englishman may appear uncomfortably cold.44. What are the English main characters mentioned in this passage?A. Reserved and proud. B. Self-praise and reserved.C. Reserve and modesty. D. Cold and conceited.45. If an Englishman won the first prize in skiing competition, someone asked how he had got along with his game. The winner cant reply “ _ ”.A. Not bad B. Yes, I have done a good jobC. Well, I am very keen on it D. I have good luck46. Which of the following can stand for English “reserve” best?A. An Englishman does not talk very much to strangers, does not show much emotion, and seldom gets excited.B. When an Englishman reaches the finals in this years country championship, he would say it is because of a piece of good luck that he made it.C. He doesnt trust big promises and open shows of feelings, especially if they are expressed in flowery （辞藻华丽的）language.D. An Englishman is very cold towards the people from other countries.47. Which is the best title of the passage?A. The English Character B. Reserve and ModestyC. Do You Like the English? D. Comparing the Englishs Character with Other EuropeansDBusiness activities are becoming increasingly worldwide as many firms spread their operations into markets abroad. Many U.S. firms, for example, are trying to enlarge markets by doing business in China, India, Latin America, Russia and other Eastern European countries. Multinational Corporations (MNCs), which operate in more than one country, at once, especially move operations to wherever they can, find the least expensive employees who are able to do the work well. Production jobs requiring only basic or repetitive skills such as sewing computer pieces are usually the first to be moved abroad. MNCs can pay these workers a small part of what they would have to pay in their own countries, and often make them work longer and harder. Most U.S. multinational businesses keep the majority of their upper-level management, marketing and finance within the United States. They employ some lower-level managers and a large number of their production workers in offices, factories, and buildings in developing countries. MNCs based in the United States have moved many of their production operations to Central and Latin America, China, India, and Southeast Asia.Merger is also becoming more common than in the past. In the United States, for example, tobacco product and food producer R.J. Reynolds Industries bought food giant Nabisco Brands to form RJR Nabisco Holdings Corp. in 1985, and in 1995 the industrial power generator, electronics, and machine producer Westinghouse Electric Corporation bought media production company CBS Inc.48. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage? A. Business Abroad B. Modern Business Development C. Spread of MNCs D. Business in the Developing Countries49. Why do many U.S. firms move their factories to Central and Latin America, China, India, and Southeast Asia? A. Because they want to help those countries to develop industries. B. Because they want to get rid of the gap between the poor and the rich. C. Because they want to produce more production. D. Because they want to gain more value from the cheap employees.50. The word “merger” in the first sentence of the last paragraph refers to _ . A. joining B. bargaining C. separating D. competing四、单词拼写 （共10小题；每小题0.5分，满分5分）51.

It is also 40 percent faster than the worlds second fastest supercomputer, Cray XT5 Jaguar, in the US, kept at a national laboratory in Tennessee, according to the New York Times. Jack Dongarra, a University of Tennessee computer scientist, told NYT that the Chinese supercomputer is faster than the existing Number One machine.Building the fastest supercomputer has become a source of national pride, as these machines are valued for their ability to solve problems in areas like defense, energy and science. These problems are related to national interests. Supercomputing technology is also found in business. Oil and gas companies use supercomputers to find oil and gas. Obviously, research centers with large supercomputers attract top scientific talents. This adds extra importance to the machinestheyre more than just huge computers. Chinas new supercomputer will be used to speed up greatly scientific calculations, such as hurricane and tsunami modeling, cancer research, car design and even studying stars.In 2008, two US scientists put together a step-by-step guide on how to build a supercomputer using PlayStation 3 video-game consoles（控制台）. Modern supercomputers are built by combining thousands of small computer servers（服务器）and using software to turn them into one large computer. Really, any organization with enough material and technology can create a fast machine. The Chinese system follows that model by linking thousands upon thousands of computer servers. But the secret behind the systemand the technological achievementis Chinas own networking technology. “That technology was built by them,” Dongarra said. “They are taking supercomputing very seriously and using a lot of time and money.”“China is still a developing country,” said Sha Chaoqun, manager at Dawning Company which is the leading supercomputer maker in China. “Maybe one day, Chinas total computing power can be greater than that of the US, but there is still a long way to go before we get there.”Paragraph outlineSupporting detailsChina has developed the worlds fastest supercomputer.Tianhe-1 has a high computing speed, which (61)_ it the fastest computer in the world.Tianhe-1 is 40 percent faster than the (62)_ fastest supercomputer in the world.(63)_ Jack Dongarra, we learn that the Chinese supercomputer is faster than the existing Number One machine.Many countries see the fastest supercomputer as a source of national (64)_ and are making efforts to develop it.The high-speed computer is (65)_ to solve problems related to national interests.Besides business, supercomputing technology can also be found in (66)_of defence, energy and science.Its obvious that top scientific talents are (67)_ to research centers with large supercomputers.
