does the sky sometimes seem dark to you? are your studies sometimes not successful? well, friends, cheer up and smile all the time. if you see the world with your warm heart, youll find that the whole world smiles to you. while in school, sometimes you are tired of your lessons, but have you ever noticed the happy smile on your teachers face when you did a good job? one day it is fine. just before you go out, it suddenly starts to rain. maybe you would feel very sad and start to complain about the weather. but dear friends, why dont you sit down and listen to the free concerts that the nature offers you? and with the timely rain, crops in the fields will grow better and better and farmers will have a good harvest. although everyone wants to succeed in what he tries to do, sometimes failure cant be avoided. i think failure is not terrible, and the terrible thing is that we are afraid of it and give up hope. when we face failure, we must be confident in ourselves, draw a useful lesson from it and try our best to finish what we have decided to do. as a popular saying goes, “failure is the mother of success”. attitude decides everything. with an optimistic attitude life is easy and pleasant. lets smile to whatever we meet and the whole world will smile to us. 33. people sometimes complain _.a. the sky is always dark b. their studies are successfulc. they see the world with their heart d. life is tiring34. when we face failure, we _.a. must be confident in ourselves b. shouldnt be afraid of itc. shouldnt give up hope d. all of the above35. the best title for the passage is_.a. smile and the world smiles to you b. complaining about lifec. failure is the mother of success d. it is very hard to succeed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。how to learn a foreign languagespend the time!by far the most important factor is how much time you spend in learning the language. the more time you spend with the language, the faster you will learn._36_focus on words and phrases!to build up your vocabulary, youll need lots._37_ learn these words and phrases through your listening and reading. read online, using online dictionaries, and make your own vocabulary lists for review. gradually you will be able to use them._38_listen wherever you are on your mp3 player. read what you are listening to. listen to and read things that you like, things that you can mostly understand. if you keep listening and reading, you will get used to the language.take responsibility for your own learning!if you do want to learn the language, take control. choose content of interest that you want to listen to and read. seek out the words and phrases that you need to understand in your listening and reading._39_ discover the language by yourself. talk when you feel like it. write when you feel like it.relax and enjoy yourself!do not worry about what you cannot remember, or cannot yet understand, or cannot yet say. it does not matter._40_ .the language will gradually become clearer in your brain, but this will happen on a schedule that you cannot control. just make sure you spend enough time with the language.a. listen and read every day!b. you are learning and improving.c. that is the greatest guarantee of success.d. do not wait for someone else to show you the language.e. start to notice words and how they come together as phrases.f. soon you will run into your new words and phrases elsewhere.g. this means spending time enjoyably connected to the language you are learning.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，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（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。is the world really going mad?
