Self-confident people trust their own abilities, have a general sense of control in their lives, and believe that，within reason, they will be able to do what they wish, plan, and expect. Having self-confidence does not mean that individuals will be able to do everything. Self-confident people have expectations that are realistic. Even when some of their expectations are not met，they continue to be positive and to accept themselves. People who are not self-confident depend too much on the approval of others in order to feel good about themselves. They tend to avoid taking risks because they fear failure. They generally do not expect to be successful. They often put themselves down and tend to ignore compliments（赞美）paid to them By contrast，self-confident people are willing to risk the disapproval of others because they generally trust their own abilities. They tend to accept themselves；they dont feel they have to conform in order to be accepted. Many factors affect the development of self-confidence. Parents attitudes are crucial(关键性的) to childrens feelings about themselves，particularly in childrens early years. When parents provide acceptance, children receive a solid foundation for good feelings about themselves. If one or both parents are much to critical or demanding, or if they are overprotective and discourage childrens moves toward independence, children may come to believe they are unqualified or inadequate. Surprisingly, lack of self-confidence is not necessarily related to lack of ability. Instead it is often the result of focusing too much on the unrealistic expectations or standards of others，especially parents and society. Friends influences can be as powerful or more powerful than those of parents and society in shaping feelings of ones self. Students in their college years reexamine values and develop their own identities and thus are particularly sensitive to the influence of friends. 21. Paragraph 1 mainly talks about_.A. the sources of self-confidence B. the lack of self-confidenceC. the development of self-confidenceD. the benefits of self-confidence22. According to the passage, self-confident people tend to_.A. depend on others B. control others C. avoid risks D. be practical23. Which of the following can we learn about self-confidence according to the passage?A. Self-confidence is usually the symbol of special abilities.B. Parents protection prevents childrens self-confidence development.C. Parents and friends matter in building ones self-confidence.D. College students are the least self-confident group in society.24. What might the author most probably continue to talk about in the following passage?A. What one should avoid in building self-confidence.B. Lack of self-confident has many side effects.C. What self-confident children usually get from parents.D. How we can become more acceptable.BIt was graduation day at the university where I work and a beautiful day quite unlike the first graduation I attended as a young professor. On that cold day years ago, as we watched the students walking into the hall, one of my colleagues turned to me and said, Graduation will be one of the happiest and one of the saddest time of your life. At my inquiry, he answered, Because the students you have gotten to know have to leave. As years went by, my previous confusion about my colleagues words no longer existed. When I came across naughty students, I have had to rethink why I chose to be a teacher. It obviously isnt the money. Once a former computer science student of mine called me, asking me if I wanted to have a change. He was working at Nintendo Corporation. His salary was higher than my current one, though I have more education and have worked for over a decade. With my programming skills, he said he could get me hired. I thanked him, but refused his kind offer. A few days before this current graduation, while working on final grades, I found a note a student had slipped in with her homework. She thanked me for being her teacher and said the things she had learned in my class-not about math, but about life-would be things she would remember long after the math skills had faded away. As I finished reading, I remembered why I had become a teacher. Now, on this sunny graduation day, as I again observed the sea of blue hats and gowns, I did so with renewed dedication and a deeper sense of satisfaction. I will always be grateful that I am a teacher. 25. Hearing his colleagues description of graduation for the first time, the author_ .A. quite agreed with his colleague B. was very puzzledC. thought it very funny D. was very sad26. The computer science student called up the author because he _ .A. wanted to inform the author of his present jobB. tried to persuade the author to work with himC. wanted the author to share his joy and satisfactionD. thought the author wasnt fit to be a teacher27. The author wrote this passage to _ .A. express his devotion to being a teacher B. compare two different graduation ceremoniesC. talk about the meaning of graduation D. give advice on how to be a good teacher28. The reason why he earns less than the computer science student is that _ .A. he was only a young professor B. he didnt do well in his workC. he taught his students more about life than mathD. salaries for different careers are differentCMy husband is reading The Secret Garden aloud to our kids. They are at the part where Mary has told Colin that shes found the garden her mother loved. Its an exciting moment. But the passage Im waiting for is a few chapters on, after Colin has tasted his first breaths of fresh air and Mary has grown strong running in the garden. Its just a detail, but my kids will notice it: a delicious description of roasted potatoes and eggs. We have a tradition of trying foods from the books we read aloud. It started when we read Elizabeth Enrights The Saturdays, and one of the boys asked, “What are petit fours?” An answer, my husband and I felt, wouldnt be as good as a sample. So one Saturday we all sat down having tea and little cakes, covered with pink, green, and yellow. It was exciting for the kids to try a dessert they had learned about in a book. The petit fours they tried didnt tell them what it was like to live in New York City 60 years ago, but tasting them made the books words alive. Later, when we read C.S. Lewiss The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, we had Turkish delight. We read The Penderwicks, written by Jeanne Birdsall, and had gingerbread (姜饼). We read Paddington Bear and tried marmalade. Soon we will reach the part of The Secret Garden where Mary, Colin, and Dickon roast potatoes and eggs in a small oven (炉) in the earth. My kids will go out into the woods to find the perfect place for an oven of our own. Yes, weve eaten potatoes and eggs, but never in the open air. The world that a good book creates is whole and real, but it lies flat on the page until a reader gives life to it. 29. The text is written mainly to _ .A. show the importance of reading aloud B. provide a new means of family educationC. discuss food culture in childrens books D. introduce some interesting books30. The author believes tasting foods from the books may help children_ .A. understand the books better B. be friendlier to each otherC. know more about history D. enjoy more healthy food31. From the fourth paragraph, we can learn that the authors family_ .A. will look for a secret garden in the woodsB. will read The Secret Garden in the open airC. will cook potatoes and eggs in the woodsD. will eat roasted potatoes and eggs at home32. Which of the following could be the best title of the passage?A. The best way to make kids learn B. Eating means more than readingC. The taste of a good book D. Our roasted potatoes and eggs DThe behavior of a buildings users may be at least as important as its design when it comes to energy use, according to new research from the UK Energy Research Centre (UKERC). The UK promises to reduce its carbon emissions (排放）by 80 percent by 2050, part of which will be achieved by all new homes being zero-carbon by 2016. But this report shows that sustainable building design on its own though extremely important- is not enough to achieve such reductions: the behavior of the people using the building has to change too. The study suggests that the ways that people use and live in their homes have been largely ignored by existing efforts to improve energy efficiency (效率)，which instead focus on architectural and technological developments.Technology is going to assist but it is not going to do everything, explains Katy Janda, a UKERC senior researcher，consumption patterns of building users can defeat the most careful design. In other words，old habits die hard, even in the best-designed eco-home.Another part of the problem is information. Households and bill-payers dont have the knowledge they need to change their energy-use habits. Without specific information，its hard to estimate the costs and benefits of making different choices. Feedback (反馈） facilities, like smart meters and energy monitors，could help bridge this information gap by helping people see how changing their behavior directly affects their energy use; some studies have shown that households can achieve up to 15 percent energy savings using smart meters.Social science research has added a further dimension (方面），suggesting that individuals behavior in the home can be personal and cannot be predicted 一 whether people throw open their windows rather than turn down the thermostat (恒温器) , for example.Janda argues that education is the key. She calls for a focused program to teach people about buildings and their own behavior in them.33. As to energy use, the new research from UKERC stresses the importance of_.A. zero-carbon homes B. the behavior of building usersC. sustainable building design D. the reduction of carbon emissions34. The underlined word “which” in Paragraph 2 refers to”_.”A. the ways B. their homesC.developments D. existing efforts35. What are Katy Jandas words mainly about?A. The importance of changing building users, habits.B. The necessity of making a careful building design.C. The variety of consumption patterns of building users.D. The role of technology in improving energy efficiency. 第二节（共5小题：每小题2分，满分10分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。I have collected some examples that should be an inspiration to anyone who desires to be successful. They show that if you want to succeed you should expect failure along the way. I actually believe that failure can encourage you on and make you try even harder. 36 The Truly successful things wont be beaten, they take responsibility for failure, learn from it and start all over from a stronger position. Walt Disney-one of the greatest business leaders who created the global Disney empire of film studios, theme parks and consumer products didnt start off successful. 37 Believe it or not, Walt was fired from an early job at the Kansas City Star Newspaper because he was not creative enough! In 1922 he started his first company called Laugh-O-Gram. The Kansas based on business would produce cartoons and short advertising films. 38 Walt didnt give up, he packed up, went to Hollywood and started The Walt Disney Company. Bill Gates co-founder and chairman of Microsoft set up a business called Traf-O-Data. The partnership between him, Paul Allen and Paul Gilbert was based on a good idea but a flawed business model that left the company with few customers. 39 However, Bill Gates and Paul Allen took what they learned and avoided those mistakes when they created the Microsoft empire. 40 I hope that these are inspiration and motivation for everyone who aspires to be successful in whatever way they choose. Do you agree or disagree with me?A. So, the one thing successful people never do is: Give up!B. In 1923, the business went bankrupt.C. He was greatly depressed.D. Every experience of failure increases the hunger for success.E. The company ran up losses between 1974 and 1980 before it was closed.F. Many factors may affect your success.G. Before the great success came a number of failures. 第三部分 英语知识运用（共两节，满分45分） 第一节 完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。As I entered womanhood, mom told me that no matter what happened and no matter what I did, I could always come home.
