One day, as I was passing the elephants, I suddenly stopped, 16 by the fact that these huge creatures were being held by only a small rope tied to their front leg. It was _17_that they could, at any time, break free, 18 strangely enough, they didnt. I asked a trainer the 19 for this.He said, “When they were very young we used the 20 size rope, and it was enough to hold them. As they grow up, they believe the rope can 21 hold them, so they never try.”Like the elephants, how many of you believe you cannot do a thing, simply because you 22 once before? Do you often tell 23 “I cannot dance” or “Im not good at math”? These are 24 of self limiting beliefs. You must realize youre 25 for them. A limiting belief that says youre poor at math may have 26 as a reaction to the embarrassing experiences related to math, or the remarks made by someone important to you which 27 you. The cool thing is that because you create the _28_you can choose to change it! Here is how:First, 29 it with “I am good at math”. Once you change your 30 , your subconsciousness will make this 31 by driving you to act. That might be to take a math course or to go online 32 help, etc. Gradually youll really see your math skills are 33 .This is such a simple process that you can 34 it today. Dont be like the poor elephant and make your life 35 at a place because of a limiting belief you developed years ago.16A. excited B. confused C. discouraged D. worried17A. impossible B. doubtful C. uncertain D. obvious18A. but B. or C. and D. so 19A. case B. result C. reason D. choice20A. same B. bigger C. smaller D. different 21A. narrowly B. almost C. still D. hardly22A. did B. failed C. tried D. succeeded 23A. yourself B. others C. your teacher D. your partner24A. causes B. stories C. results D. examples 25A. consciousB. honestC. responsibleD. depended26A. stopped B. referredC. changed D. originated 27A. interestedB. disappointed C. bored D. inspired 28A. belief B. experience C. embarrassment D. remark29A. represent B. compare C. mix D. replace30A. action B. thought C. aim D. plan31A. come true B. run out C. on guard D. keep cool32A. at B. by C. for D. in 33A. improvedB. judgedC. realized D. recognized34A. finish B. continue C. keep D. begin 35A. involved B. stuckC. unfinishedD. changed第三部分 閱讀理解（共兩節(jié)，滿分40分）第一節(jié)（共15小題；每小題2分，滿分30分） 閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的四個選項（A、B、C和D）中，選出最佳選項，并在答題卡上將該項涂黑。AI knew I was all right now. Nobody else would come ahunting after me. I got my traps out of the canoe and made me a nice camp in the thick woods. I made a tent out of my blankets to put my things under so the rain couldnt get at them. I caught a catfish and towards sundown I started my camp fire and had supper. When it was dark I sat by my camp fire, feeling pretty satisfied; but by and by it got sort of lonesome, so I went and sat on the bank and listened to the current crashing along, and counted the stars and drift logs and rafts that came down, and then went to bed; there was no better way to put in time when you are lonesome; you cant stay so, and you soon get it over. And so for three days and nights. No differencejust the same thing. But the next day I went exploring around the island. I was boss of it; it all belonged to me, and I wanted to know all about it; but mainly I wanted to spend the time. I found plenty of strawberries and green summer grapes; and the green blackberries were just beginning to show. Well, I went fooling along in the deep woods till I judged I wasnt far from the foot of the island. I had my gun along, but I had shot nothing; it was for protection. About this time I almost stepped on a goodsized snake, and it moved quietly and smoothly through the grass and flowers, and I was after it, trying to get a shot at it. I clipped along, and all of a sudden I bounded right on to the ashes of a camp fire that was still smoking. My heart jumped up among my lungs. I never waited to look further, but unlocked my gun and went sneaking back on my tiptoes as fast as I could. Every now and then I stopped a second among the thick leaves and listened, but my breath came so hard that I couldnt hear anything else. I moved quietly along another piece further, then listened again; and so on. If I saw a stump(樹樁), I took it for a man; if I stepped on a stick and broke it, it made me feel that a person had cut one of my breaths in two and I only got half, and the short half, too.36The underlined part “put in time” in the second paragraph probably means _.A. take the time B. kill the timeC. employ the time D. waste the time37Why did the boy always carry his gun with him wherever he went?A. To show off his gun. B. To protect himself.C. To hunt some animals for food. D. To play with it for fun.38How did the boy feel when he saw the ashes of a camp fire that was still smoking?A. Surprised. B. Excited.C. Frightened. D. Puzzled.39Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. The boy felt a bit lonely on the island.B. The boy brought with himself a tent.C. The boy was surely the only person on the island at that time.D. The boy might be bitten by some animal when the story happened.BWine drinkers tend to buy healthier food than beer drinkers, according to a Danish study published on Tuesday on the website of a weekly medical magazine. People who bought wine at the store were also more likely to buy fruit, vegetables, fish, lean meat (瘦肉) and milk than beer buyers did, said the study.Beer buyers were more likely to buy frozen dinners, cold cuts, pork, sugary products, and soft drinks.The study was conducted by four researchers from the National Institute of Public Health over the course of six months.Alcohol researchers Erik Schulenburg and Marten Greenback and two other doctors collected 3.5 million receipts from 98 stores. The customers at the stores represented a large number of Danish people, they said. “Our results confirm international studies which show that wine drinkers tend to eat more fruit, vegetables and fish and rarely eat fats, compared to those who like other kinds of alcoholic drinks,” they concluded.Wine buyers also tended to have higher education levels, higher earnings and be in better mental health, they added.Their interest in consumers shopping bags followed a series of studies in the Danish media. The studies suggested that wine drinkers ran a lower risk of cardiovascular (心血管的) disease and some types of cancer than beer drinkers.40The passage mainly tells us that wine drinkers _. A. eat more vegetables than beer drinkers B. usually buy healthier food than beer drinkers C. are mostly healthier than beer drinkers D. run a lower risk of diseases than beer drinkers41According to the passage, beer buyers are less likely to buy _. A. cold cuts B. pork C. soft drinks D. vegetables42The researchers did the study mainly by means of _.A. handing out papers with a list of questionsB. collecting receipts from storesC. watching what customers bought at storesD. visiting some families throughout the country43Which of the following is NOT a feature of wine drinkers according to the passage? A. Rarely eating fats. B. Being in better mental health. C. Exercising more. D. Having higher education levels.CThere are people in Italy who cant stand soccer. Not all Canadians love hockey. A similar situation exists in America, where there are those individuals you may be one of them who frown when somebody mentions baseball. Baseball to them means boring hours watching grown men in funny tight outfits standing around in a field staring away while very little of anything happens. They tell you its a game better suited to the 19th century, slow, quiet, and gentlemanly. These are the same people you may be one of them who love football because theres the sport that values “the hit”. By contrast, baseball seems abstract, cool, silent, still. On TV the game is divided into a dozen perspectives, replays, close-ups. The geometry(幾何學(xué)) of the game, however, is essential to understanding it. You will view the game from one point as a painter does his subject; you may, of course, project yourself into the game. It is in this projection that the game affords so much space and time for involvement. The TV wont do it for you. Take, for example, the third baseman. You sit behind the third base and you watch him watching home plate. His legs are apart, knees flexed(彎曲). His arms hang loose. He does a lot of this. The skeptic(懷疑論者) still cannot think of any other sports so still, so passive. But watch what happens every time the pitcher throws: the third baseman goes up on his toes, flexes his arms or brings the glove to a point in front of him, takes a step right or left, backward or forward, perhaps he glances across the field to check his first basemans position. Suppose the pitch is a ball. “Nothing happened,” you say. “I could have had my eyes closed.” The skeptic and the innocent must play the game. And this involvement in the stands is no more intellectual than listening to music is. Watch the third baseman. Smooth the dirt in front of you with one foot; smooth the pocket in your glove; watch the eyes of the batter, the speed of the bat, the sound of ball on wood. If football is a symphony of movement and theatre, baseball is chamber music, a spacious interlocking(連鎖) of notes, chorus（和聲）and responses.44The passage is mainly concerned with .A. the attraction of baseball B. the superiority of footballC. the different tastes of people for sports D. the different characteristics of sports45Those who dont like baseball may complain that .A. it is only to the taste of the old B. it is not exciting enoughC. it involves fewer players than football D. it is pretentious and looks funny46The author admits that .A. baseball may seem boring when watched on TV B. football is more attracting than baseballC. baseball is more interesting than footballD. baseball is too peaceful for the young 47By stating “I could have had my eyes closed”, the author means (4th paragraph last sentence) .A. The consequence was so bad that he could not bear to see it B. The third baseman is so good at baseball that he could finish the game with eyes closed all the time and do his work wellC. Even if the third baseman closed his eyes a moment ago, it could make no difference to the resultD. The third baseman would rather sleep than play the gameDAbout ten years ago, a young and very successful businessman named Josh was traveling down a Chicago neighborhood street. He was going a bit too fast in his shiny, black, 12 cylinder Jaguar XKE, which was only two months old.He was watching for kids rushing out from between parked cars and slowed down when he thought he saw something. As his car passed, no child came out, but a brick sailed out and - WHUMP! - it hit the Jaguars shiny black side door! SCREECH . ! ! ! ! Immediately Josh stopped the car, jumped out, seized the kid and pushed him up against a parked car. He shouted at the kid, What was that all about and who are you? Just what the heck are you doing?! Thats my new Jaguar, that brick you threw is gonna cost you a lot of money. Why did you throw it?Please, mister, please.Im sorry! I didnt know what else to do! begged the youngster. I threw the brick because no one else would stop! tears were streaming down the boys face as he pointed around the parked car. Its my brother, mister, he said. He rolled off the curb (路沿) and fell out of his wheelchair and I cant lift him up. Sobbing, the boy asked the businessman, Would you please help me get him back into his wheelchair? Hes hurt and hes too heavy for me. Moved by the words, the young businessman lifted the young man back into the wheelchair and took out his handkerchief and wiped the scrapers and cuts, checking to see that everything was going to be OK. He then watched the younger brother push him down the sidewalk toward their home.It was a long walk back to the black, shining, 12 cylinder Jaguar XKE - a long and slow walk. Josh never did fix the side door of his Jaguar. He kept the dent (凹痕) to remind him not to go through life so fast that someone has to throw a brick at him to get his attention. Feel for the bricks of life coming you.48The boy threw a brick at the businessmans car because _.A. he wanted to ask for some moneyB. he wanted to get help from the driverC. the businessman drove at a high speedD. he hated the brand-new car very much49What can we learn from the passage?A. Josh would accept the money from the kids.B. The two kids were Joshs neighbors.C. Joshs new car broke down easily.D. Josh was a kind-hearted man.50According to the passage, the last sentence means _.A. trying to be more understanding seeing others in troubleB. trying to get ready for the trouble in your future lifeC. driving fast in a neighborhood street is dangerousD. protecting oneself from being hurt第二節(jié)（共5小題；每小題2分，滿分10分） 根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，從短文后的選項中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項，并在答題卡上將該項涂黑。選項中有兩項為多余選項。 Are you simply moving through your day without fully living? I think many of us have done this. Everyone wants to fully live every day. 51 So Ive decided to share with you some ways to help you enjoy every moment.Sit in the morning. When you wake up, in the quiet of the morning, sit on the floor. I often use this opportunity to stretch (伸展). 52 I also just sit, and focus on my breathing going in and out. 53 I like to take breaks from work, and go outside for a slow walk. Pay attention to your breathing, to everything around you, to the sounds and light of objects.Read in silence. Find a quiet time, and a quiet place, and read a good novel. Have no television or computers on nearby. And just put yourself in the world of the novel. It might seem difficult to let your mind move from the present into the time of the novel, but its a great practice in focus. 54 55 Each day, find someone you care about and be grateful for his existence.
