河北省武邑中学2015届高考英语一轮复习 第33期55分钟课堂练习第一部分 阅读理解athe cost of higher education individuals (个人) should pay for their higher education. a university education is of huge and direct benefit to the individual. graduates earn more than non-graduates. meanwhile, social mobility is ever more dependent on having a degree. however, only some people have it. so the individual, not the taxpayers, should pay for it. there are pressing calls on the resources (资源) of the government. using taxpayers money to help a small number of people to earn high incomes in the future is not one of them. full government funding (资助) is not very good for universities. adam smith worked in a scottish university whose teachers lived off student fees. he knew and looked down upon 18th-century oxford, where the academics lived comfortably off the income received from the government. guaranteed salaries, smith argued, were the enemy of hard work; and when the academics were lazy and incompetent, the students were similarly lazy. if students have to pay for their education, they not only work harder, but also demand more from their teachers. and their teachers have to keep them satisfied. if that means taking teaching seriously, and giving less time to their own research interests, that is surely something to celebrate.many people believe that higher education should be free because it is good for the economy (经济). many graduates clearly do contribute to national wealth, but so do all the businesses that invest (投资) and create jobs. if you believe that the government should pay for higher education because graduates are economically productive, you should also believe that the government should pay part of business costs. anyone promising to create jobs should receive a gift of capital from the government to invest. therefore, it is the individual, not the government, who should pay for their university education.1. the underlined word them in paragraph 2 refers to _. a. taxpayers b.

successful operationdleaving her markc“love your neighbor as yourself” is a saying familiar to most of usit means that you must have the ability to love and accept yourself in order to form and keep satisfying relationship with others. self-esteem means accepting yourself for who you really are, and believing that you are indeed a worthwhile person who is deserving of love and respect from othersself-esteem is our sense of how good we feel about ourselvesit is based on our judgment of ourselves, not on other peoples assessment, but simply on our ownour self-esteem is not dependent on our talentsome very ordinary people feel very good about themselves, while other extraordinarily high achievers hold low opinions of themselvesself-esteem is the primary key to long-term stress managementwhy? the first three sources of stress are: predictable life events, unexpected changes and build-up of daily stresses. these are much easier to handle when we believe in ourselves. a positive, healthy self-esteem gives us the “hardiness”（强健）to deal with the difficulties of life, and to see them as challenges to be met, rather than threats to be fearedthe fourth category of stress is entirely the result of a low self-esteemit is the category of stress that is most common and tiring in the long runthis kind of stress cannot be overcome, or even changed, until the self-esteem problems that cause it are correctedlearning to love yourself for who you are is the key to overcoming stressself-esteem comes from the self, and cannot be promoted by othersa person who feels that his self-esteem comes from the approval of those around him or her is bound to self-destruct（自毁）. one cannot keep the level of “performance” required to please everyone else, especially if that performance disagrees with who you are and is simply a facade that makes you popular with the worldwhen the applause is gone, there is nothing left only those who can feel the strength of knowing who they are and those who can feel good about themselves will survive the stresses of lifeself-esteem is the basis of contentment and positive living8what is self-esteem? aa kind of positive lifestyle

is given out by everything ranging from home appliances(电器) and cars to the heating and lighting systems of office buildings. but since we dont see the gas, most of us simply shake our heads and then continue with our bad habits. now, researchers at arizona state university are trying to change that. directed by associate professor kevin gurney, the hestia projects main goal is to make something that is currently intangible (无形的) into something a little more tangible, by allowing all of us to visually see how much each and every one of us is “contributing” to global warming.in order to obtain a complete picture of the citys environment, the team begins by collecting data from all different sources. then, using special software they divide the emissions (排放) into three categories commercial entities (实体) (office buildings and industrial plants), households and vehicles. this is the stage where things start to get really interesting. thats because instead of showing all this information using graphs that we all instantly lose interest in, they create a visual “film” that shows not only the carbon emitted by each entity, but also the exact location it is coming from and the amount, which varies depending on the time of day or season. for example, the car emissions during rush hour are the highest, as is the case for commercial buildings during the day, especially during winter months when the heating is on.kevin knows that some of the data shown may start a blame game among the residents (居民) of the city. however, he is hoping that the people will go beyond that and instead use it to make changes in their daily lives. 12. according to the text, most people ignore the problem of greenhouse gases mainly because _.a. the problem is not very seriousb. bad living habits are hard to change c. greenhouse gases cant be seen d. they think they have done nothing wrong 13. with the efforts of kevins team, people can _.a. see a film about the effects of greenhouse gases b. study methods of cutting greenhouse gases c. know a certain places emission at different times d. get information on emissions with various graphs 14. by saying “some of the data shown may start a blame game among the residents of the city”, the author means that _.a. kevins team may get criticized b. the hestia project may be treated as a game c. residents may feel guilty of their bad behavior d. people may accuse each other of carbon emissions15. whats the purpose of the text?a. to introduce a research project.b. to give advice on cutting emissions.c. to show the harm of carbon emissions.d. to call on people to protect the environment.ehow do you enter a room full of strangers? do you walk right in full of confidence? or do you try to slip in without being noticed? 16 in life, we admire those who do their tasks confidently we prefer people who appear to know what theyre doing but where does that confidence begin?developing self-confidence starts very early its the parents role to get kids on the right track toward becoming confident people 17 when children make mistakes, their parents should still let them know that they are loved children whose parents do these things will likely develop into confident adults but self-confidence still doesnt come easily so whats the solution? with most things in life, practice makes perfect, and that is true of confidence skills 18 always hold your head high and look people in the eye answer questions clearly and confidently the way you walk shows others how confident you are focus on the things that you do well, and look for opportunities to use those abilities 19 youll approach the task more confidently knowing that youre ready all humans fail at times , and you will too 20 learning from mistakes helps

teachers for their own childrene the more you practice them, the easier they will becomef the way you go into new situations shows our level of self-confidenceg to help that process, parents should
