Self-control is at the root of all the advantages. Let a man give in to his impulses (冲动) and feelings, and from that moment he gives up his moral freedom.A single angry word has lost many friends. When Socrates found in himself any temper or anger, he would check it by speaking low in order to control himself. If you are conscious of being angry, keep your mouth shut so that you can hold back rising anger. Many a person has dropped dead in great anger. Fits of anger bring fits of disease. “Whoever the gods would destroy they first make them mad.” “Keep cool,” says Webster, “anger is not argument.” “Be calm in arguing,” says George Herbert, “for fierceness (狂怒) makes error a fault.”To be angry with a weak man is to prove that you are not strong yourself. “Anger,” says Pythagoras, “begins with foolishness and ends with regret.” You must measure the strength of a man by the power of the feelings he conquers, not by the power of those which conquer him. Self-control is mans last and greatest victory. If a man lacks self-control he seems to lack everything. Without it he can have no patience, no power to govern himself; he can have no self-confidence, for he will always be controlled by his strongest feeling. If he lacks self-control, the very backbone and nerve of character are lacking too. 26. Whats the main idea of the passage?A. Self- control is important for a man. B. We should learn to be strong.C. A man who keeps cool wont lose any game.D. The great heroes in history knew how to control themselves.27. What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 2 mean?A. If you are mad, the gods will kill you.B. If you lose your temper first, gods will kill you first.C. If you cant control yourself, you will be crazy.D. If the gods want to kill you, they will make you mad first.28. Which of the following is NOT true, according to passage?A. The first and best of victories for a man is to conquer himself.B. You will make a small mistake serious if you dont keep cool.C. You must measure a mans strength by the power of the feelings which conquer him.D. Anger begins with foolishness and ends with regret. 29. Which of the following cant help you avoid anger, according to the passage?A. Being calm in arguing. B. Checking your temper or anger by speaking low.C. Keeping your mouth shut. D. Trying to make the other angry first.30. The passage is most likely to be found in _?A. A scientific journal.B. A health magazineC. A news report. D. An encyclopediaBResearchers found that people bee happier and experience less worry after they reach the age of fifty. In fact, they say by the age of eighty-five, people are happier with their life than they were when they were eighteen years old.The findings came from a survey of more than 340,000 adults in the United States. The Gallup(民意调查) Organization questioned them by telephone in xx. At that time, the people were between the ages of eighteen and eighty-five. The researchers asked questions about emotions like happiness, sadness and worry. They also asked about mental or emotional stress.Arthur Stone at Stony Brook University in New York led the study. His team found that levels of stress were highest among adults between the ages of twenty-two and twenty-five. The findings showed that stress levels dropped sharply after people reached their fifties. Happiness was highest among the youngest adults and those in their early seventies. The people least likely to report feeling negative emotions were those in their seventies and eighties.Researchers say they do not know why happiness increases as people get older. One theory is that, as people grow older, they grow more thankful for what they have and have better control of their emotions. They also spend less time thinking about bad experiences.Professor Stone says the emotional patterns could be linked to changes in how people see the world, or maybe even changes in brain chemistry.The researchers also considered possible influences like having young children, being unemployed or being single. But they found that influences like these did not affect the levels of happiness and well-being related to age.The study also showed that men and women have similar emotional patterns as they grow older. However, women at all ages reported more sadness, stress and worry than men. 31. What can be the best title of the text?A. Happiness Varies with AgesB. Experience More, Worry LessC.

This familiar environmentalist slogan tells us how to reduce the amount of rubbish that ends up in landfills and waterways. The concept is being used to deal with one possibly dangerous form of waste electronic junk (电子垃圾), such as old puters, cell phones, and televisions. But this process for managing e-waste may be used in an unscrupulous way more often than not used, a recent report suggests. “A lot of these materials are being sent to developing nations under the excuse of reuse to bridge the digital divide,” said Richard Gutierrez, a policy researcher. One of the problems is that no one proves whether these old machines work before they hit the seaways. Because of this, the report says, e-waste is a growing problem in Lagos, Nigeria, and elsewhere in the developing world. Much of the waste ends up being thrown away along rivers and roads. Often its picked apart by poor people, who may face dangerous exposure to poisonous chemicals in the equipment. Businessmen also pay workers a little money to get back materials such as gold and copper. This low-tech recovery process could expose workers and the local environment to many dangerous materials used to build electronics. According to Gutierrez, this shadow economy exists because the excuse of recycling and reusing electronics gives businessmen “a green passport” to ship waste around the globe. “Developing nations must take upon some of the responsibility themselves,” Gutierrez said. But, he added, “A greater portion of this responsibility should fall on the exporting state.” China, for example, has bee a dumping place for large amounts of e-waste. The nation is beginning to take action to stop the flow of dangerous materials across its borders. The Chinese government, after many years of denial (否认), is finally beginning to take the lead. 41. The passage mainly tells us that _.A. developing countries are facing serious environmental problemsB. e-waste is sent to developing countries under the excuse of reuseC. developing countries are making full use of e-wasteD. e-waste is a growing problem in developed countries42. What does the third paragraph mainly discuss?A. A lot of e-waste is dumped in developing countries.B. Poor people break up e-waste to collect some valuable materials. C. The problem of e-waste is growing in developing countries.D. Old puters and TVs still work before they are sent abroad.43 The underlined word “unscrupulous” in Paragraph 1 probably means “_”.A. immoral B. wrong C. proud D. unsafe44. From what Gutierrez said we can learn that _.A. developing countries should be responsible for this problemB. exporting countries should be mainly responsible for this problemC. neither rich nor poor countries should be blamed for this problemD. poor countries should be blamed for this problem45. Which of the following statement is true?A. It is not clear whether the old machines can still work before they are shipped oversea.B. Workers may get very rich by picking up gold and copper in the old machine.C. China is a leading country to produce large amount of e-waste.D. Businessmen from developed countries have a green passport to ship e-waste to the developing world.第二节 信息匹配 (共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)阅读下列应用文及相关信息，并按照要求匹配信息。请在答题卷上将对应题号的相应选项字母涂黑。以下是几个国际节日的简要介绍：A.
