Free transport is provided all day between Martin Place and the GalleryBMycolor television has given me nothing but a headache. I was able to buy it a little over a year agobecause I had my relatives give memoney for my birthday instead of a lot of clothes that wouldnt fit. I let a salesclerk fool me into buying a discontinued model. I realized this a day late, when I saw newspaper advertisements for the set at seventy-five dollars less than I had paid. The set worked so beautifully when I first got it home that I would keep it on until stations signed offfor the night. Fortunately, I didnt got any channels showing all-night movies or I would never have gotten to bed. Then I started developing a problem with the set that involved static (静电) noise. For some reason, when certain shows switched into a commercial, a loud noise would sound for a few seconds. Gradually, this noise began to appear during a show, and to get rid of it, I had to change to another channel and then change it back. Sometimes this technique would not work, and I had to pick up the set and shake it to remove the sound. I actually began to build up my arm muscles shaking my set. When neither of these methods removed the static noise, I would sit helplessly andwait for the noise to go away. At last I ended up hitting the set with my fist, and it stopped working altogether. My trip to the repair shop cost me $62, and the set is working well now, but I keep expecting more trouble.24. Why did the author say he was fooled into buying the TV set?A. He got an older model than he had expected.B. He couldnt return it when it was broken.C. He could have bought it at a lower price.D. He failed to find any movie shows on it.25. Which of the following can best replace the phrase “signed off” in Paragraph 1?A. ended all their programs B. provided fewer channelsC. changed to commercials D. showed all-night movies26. How did the author finally get his TV set working again?A. By shaking and hitting it. B. By turning it on and off.C. By switching channels. D. By having it repaired.27. How does the author sound when telling the story? A. Curious B. Anxious C. Cautious D. HumorousCA popular saying goes, Sticks and stones 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 someones else or ourselves - the positive and negative effects are just as lasting.We all talk to ourselves sometimes. Were usually too embarrassed to admit it, though. In fact, 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, solve problems, and calm Our-selves down. Be aware, 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, join me in saying Good job! Often, words come out of our mouths without us thinking about the effect they will have. But we should be aware that our words cause certain responses in others. For example, when returning an item to a store, we might use warm, friendly language during the exchange. And the clerk will probably respond in a similar manner. Or harsh(刻薄的)and critical language will most likely cause the clerk to be defensive.Words possess power because of their lasting effect. 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 loving? Is it needed? If what we want to say doesnt pass this test, 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 and motivate others to do their best. Negative words destroy all those things. Will we use our words to hurt or to heal? The choice is ours.28. The main idea of the first paragraph is that _.A. not sticks and stones but words will hurt us. B. inspiring words give us confidenceC. negative words may let us down D. words have a lasting effect on us29. There is no sense for us to feel embarrassed when we talk to ourselves because _A. almost everybody has the habit of talking to themselvesB. we can benefit from talking to ourselvesC. talking to ourselves always gives us courageD. it does no harm to have self-talk when we are alone30. The underlined part in the third paragraph means that we should also timely _A. praise ourselves B. remind ourselves C. make ourselves relaxed D. give ourselves amusement31. The author would probably hold the view that _A. encouraging words are sure to lead to kind offersB. negative words may stimulate us to make more progressC. people tend to remember friendly wordsD. it is better to think twice before talking to othersDFrom losing weight to quitting smoking, each December people around the world make a New Year s resolution(决心) . But studies have shown that despite their best effort, most will fail.Professor Peter Herman, a psychology lecturer at the University of Toronto says that the reasons why resolutions fail are clear. They are not realistic in some or all of the following respects: people think that they can change themselves more quickly; they think that they can change much more than anyone else; or they think they can change everything more easily. Professor Herman suggests that the issue may be a cycle of failure and renewed effort. which he calls the false-hope syndrome (虚妄期盼综合征). The cycle begins with a difficult self-change task. such as overeating or smoking-common yet rarely successful changes. While people may make some initial progress in the task, eventually they fail to achieve their goal. Having failed, they interpret their failure to convince themselves that with a few adjustments they will succeed. Finally, they begin to embark on another attempt, and the cycle repeats.In his paper on the topic, Professor Herman and his co-author, Janet Polivy, write, “People tend to make the same resolutions year after year, vowing on average l0 times to get rid of a particular vice (恶习). Obviously, every renewed vow represents a certain failure; otherwise, there would be no need for yet another attempt. Equally obviously, unsuccessful attempts do not decrease the chance of making future palls for self-change. Even those who are finally successful at sticking to their resolutions make the attempt five or six times on average before succeeding.Expecting to make a breakthrough is not a good way, so Professor Herman says that the best way of sticking to your resolution is to expect the changes little by little rather than a major transformation. He told Mail Online, Often this means scaling back (缩减) your resolution to something that is actually manageable.”32. Why do most people fail in their New Years resolutions according to Professor Herman?A. They doesnt do their best at all.B. They make unrealistic resolutions.C. They want to stay unchanged.D. They change them frequently.33. What does the underlined part embark on” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?A. Undertake. B. Abandon. C. Welcome. D. Represent.34. How can you achieve your New Years resolutions in Professor Hermans opinion?A. Set a big resolution. B. Make a breakthrough.C. Expect gradual changes. D. Believe in yourself35.What may be the best title for the text?A. Actions Speak Louder Than WordsB. Think Twice Before You DoC. A Bargain Is a BargainD. Good Plan Is Half Done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。Success Is On The Other Side of FailureEverybody wants success. Some people aim for it; others just talk about it. 36 But the truth is that its closer than you think. Its just on the other side. You have to want it enough, and be willing enough to get it.It has no excuses. Fear is your biggest obstacle(障碍). It will cause you to make decisions that may seem “right” at the time. 37 You either get it or you dont. The minute you find a reason not to take another step towards success is the moment you stop being successful. In the symphony of success, excuses are just noise.It is on the other side of obstacles. Everyone faces challenges; different ones at different times. We all handle the same challenges differently; we all have different results. Its how you handle each one and what you do with the results that count. 38 Remember, youre got to pass obstacles in order to succeed. 39 They call it a ladder of success for a reason. You need to climb it in order to get somewhere. Its no tan escalator(自动扶梯). You cant stand there and let it do the work for you. 40 Its going to take determination and commitment on your part to get up and over that wall.A. You have to do the work yourself.B. It takes effort, commitment and follow-though.C. Youll be carrying a heavy load on your shoulders.D. Often times it just seems like something too far out of reach.E. But theyre preventing you from actually getting over that wall.F. Even if it works for other people, the same thing just doesnt work for us.G. An obstacle is something you either find a way around or allow to stop you.第三部分 英语知识运用第1节 完形填空（共20小题：每小题1.5分，满分30分）When you are living a fully-scheduled life, every minute counts.
