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

to absorb heat from the sun to heat water, you need large, flat, black surfacesone way to do that is to build those surfaces specially, on the roofs of buildingsbut why go to all that trouble when cities are full of black surfaces already, in the form of asphalt （柏油） roads?ten years ago, this thought came into the mind of arian de bondt, a dutch engineerhe finally persuaded his boss to follow it upthe result is that their building is now heated in winter and cooled in summer by a system that relies on the surface of the road outsidethe heat-collector is a system of connected water pipesmost of them run from one side of the street to the other, just under the asphalt roadsome, however, dive deep into the groundwhen the street surface gets hot in summer, water pumped through the pipes picks up this heat and takes it underground through one of the diving pipesat a depth of 100 meters lies a natural aquifer （蓄水层） into which several heat exchangers （交换器） have been builtthe hot water from the street runs through these exchangers, warming the ground-water, before returning to the surface through another pipethe aquifer is thus used as a heat storein winter, the working system is changed slightlywater is pumped through the heat exchangers to pick up the heat stored during summerthis water goes into the building and is used to warm the place upafter performing that task, it is pumped under the asphalt and its remaining heat keeps the road free of snow and ice36which of the following is true according to the first two paragraphs?aarian de bondt got his idea from his bossblarge, flat, black surfaces need to be built in citiescthe dutch engineers system has been widely useddheat can also be collected from asphalt roads37for what purpose are the diving pipes used?ato absorb heat from the sun bto store heat for future usecto turn solar energy into heat energydto carry heat down below the surface38from the last paragraph we can learn that _asome pipes have to be re-arranged in winterbthe system can do more than warming up the buildingcthe exchangers will pick up heat from the street surfacedless heat may be collected in winter than in summer39what is most likely to be discussed in the paragraph that follows?awhat we shall do if the system goes wrongbwhat we shall do if there are no asphalt roadschow the system cools the building in summerdhow the system collects heat in spring and autumnbfat and shy, ben saunders was the last kid in his class picked for any sports team. “football, tennis, cricket- anything with a round ball, i was useless,” he says now with a laugh. but back then he was the one always made fun of in school gym classes in devonshire, england. it was a mountain bike he received for his 15th birthday that changed him. at first he went biking alone in a nearby forest. then he began to ride the bike along with a runner friend. gradually, saunders set up his mind on building up his body, increasing his speed and strength. at the age of 18, he ran his first marathon. the following year he met john ridgway and was hired as an instructor at ridgways school of adventure in scotland, where he learnt about ridgways cold-water exploits. greatly interested, saunders read all he could about north pole explorers and adventures, then decided that this would be his future. in 2001, after becoming a skillful skier, saunders started his first long-distance expedition(探险) towards the north pole. it took unbelievable energy. he suffered frostbite（冻疮）, ran into a polar bear and pushed his body to the limit, pulling his supply-loaded sled（雪橇） up and over rocky ice. saunders has since become the youngest person to ski alone to the north pole, and hes skied more of the north pole by himself than any other british man. his old playmates would not believe the change. next october, saunders, 27, heads south from the coast of antarctica to the south pole and back, a 2900-kilometer journey that has never been completed on skis. 40what change happened to saunders after he was 15 years old? a. he became good at most sports. b. he made friends with a runner. c. he joined a sports team. d. he began to build up his body.41the underlined word “exploits” (paragraph 3) is closest in meaning to _. a. journeys b. adventuresc.researches d. operations42which of the following is the correct order of the events that happened to saunders? a. he ran his first marathon. b. he skied alone in the north pole. c. he rode his bike in a forest. d. he planned an adventure to the south pole. a. a c d bb. c d a b c. c a b dd.a c b d 43 what does the story mainly tell us abut saunders? a. he is a success in sports. b. he is the best british skier. c. he is ridgways best student. d. he is a good instructor at school.chave you ever picked a job based on the fact that you were good at it but later found it made you feel very uncomfortable over time? when you select your career, theres a whole lot more to it than assessing your skills and matching them with a particular position. if you ignore your personality, it will hurt you long-term regardless of your skills or the jobs pay. there are several areas of your personality that you need to consider to help you find a good job. here are a few of those main areas; 1) do you prefer working alone or with other people?there are isolating jobs that will drive an outgoing person crazy and also interactive jobs that will make a shy person uneasy. most people are not extremes in either direction but do have a tendency that they prefer. there are also positions that are sometimes a combination of the two, which may be best for someone in the middle who adapts easily to either situation.2) how do you handle change?most jobs these days have some elements of change to them, but some are more than others. if you need stability in your life, you may need a job where the changes dont happen so often. other people would be bored of the same daily routine.3) do you enjoy working with computers？i do see this as a kind of personality characteristic. there are people who are happy to spend more than 40 hours a week on a computer, while there are others who need a lot of human interaction throughout the day. again, these are extremes and youll likely find a lot of positions somewhere in the middle as well.4) what type of work environment do you enjoy？this can range from being in a large building with a lot of people you wont know immediately to a smaller setting where youll get to know almost all the people there fairly quickly.5) how do you like to get paid?some people are motivated by the pay they get, while others feel too stressed to be like that. the variety of payment designs in the sales industry is a typical example for this.anyway, these are a great starting point for you. ive seen it over and over again with people that they make more money over time when they do something they love. it may take you a little longer, but making a move to do what you have a passion for can change the course of your life for the better.44what is unnecessary in your job hunting?aassessing your skillsbtaking your personality into considerationcmatching your skills with a positiondgoing to different areas45 which of the following is true according to the passage?a. isolating usually drive people mad.b. interactive jobs make people shy easily.c. extreme people tend to work with others.d. almost everyone has a tendency in jobs.46the underlined word “stability” in the passage most probably means?a.no anger.b. no movement.c. gentleness.d. enthusiasm.47 what could be the best title for this passage?a. lifestyles and job payb. personalities and jobsc. job skills and abilitiesd. jobs and environmentdusually, when your teacher asks a question, there is only one correct answer. but there is one question that has millions of correct answers. that question is “whats your name?” everyone gives a different answer, but everyone is correct. have you ever wondered about peoples names? where do they come from?what do they mean?peoples first names, or given names, are chosen by their parents. sometimes the name of a grandparent or other member of the family is used. some parents choose the name of a well-known person. a boy could be named george washington smith; a girl could be named helen keller jones.some people give their children names that mean good things. clara means “bright”; beatrice means “one who gives happiness”; donald means “world ruler”; leonard means “as brave as a lion”.the earliest last names, or surnames, were taken from place names. a family with the name brook or brooks probably lived near a brook (小溪); someone who was called longstreet probably lived on a long, paved road. the greenwood family lived in or near a leafy forest. other early surnames came from peoples occupations. the most common occupational name is smith, which means a person who makes things with iron or other metals. in the past, smiths were very important workers in every town and village. some other occupational names are: cartera person who owned or drove a cart; pottera person who made pots and pans. the ancestors of the baker family probably baked bread for their neighbors in their native village. the carpenters great-great-great-grandfather probably built houses and furniture. sometimes people were known for the color of their hair or skin, or their size, or their special abilities. when there were two men who were named john in the same village, the john with gray hair probably became john gray. or the john who was very tall could call himself john tallman. john fish was probably an excellent swimmer and john lightfoot was probably a fast runner or a good dancer. some family names were made by adding something to the fathers name. english-speaking people added s or son. the johnsons are descendants of john; the roberts familys ancestor was robert. irish and scottish people added mac or mc or o. perhaps all of the macdonnells and the odonnells are descendants of the same donnell. 48 which of the following aspects do the surnames in the passage not cover?a. places where people lived.b. peoples characters.c. talents that people possessed. d. peoples occupations.49according to the passage, the ancestors of the potter family most probably _.a. owned or drove a cart b. made things with metalsc. made kitchen tools or containers. d. built houses and furniture.50suppose an english couple whose ancestors lived near a leafy forest wanted their new-born son to become a world leader, the baby might be named _.a. beatrice smith b. leonard carterc. george longstreet d. donald greenwood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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。
