just turn the cube over in their hands, not even knowing where to begin. thats exactly what it was like for me to learn how to read. letters and words were out of order. nothing made sense because i am dyslexic.the rubiks cube has made me believe that sometimes you have to take a few steps back in order to move forward. this was a reflection of my own life when i had to leave public school after the fourth grade. its embarrassing to admit, but i still couldnt always spell my full name correctly. as a fifth-grader at a new school specializing in whats called “language-processing disorder”, i had to start over. i then spent the next four years learning how to learn and find strategies that allowed me to return to my districts high school with the ability to communicate my ideas and express my intelligence. now, i can easily solve the 555. i discover that just before it is solved, a problem can look like a mess, and then suddenly you can find the solution. early in my rubiks career, i became so frustrated that i took the cube apart and rebuilt it. i believe that sometimes you have to look deeper and find answers in unexpected places. the rubiks cube taught me that to accomplish something big, it helps to break it down into small pieces. i learned that its important to spend a lot of time thinking, to try to find connections and patterns. i believe that there are surprises around the corner. like life itself, the rubiks cube can be frustrating puzzle. so everyday i carry a rubiks cube in my backpack as a reminder that i can achieve my goals, no matter what obstacles i face. 46. the author took the rubiks cube apart because _.a. he couldnt work out how to solve it b. he hated it and wanted to destroyed itc. he wanted to learn how to rebuild itd. he was eager to find

shortcomings. instead, realize that the seeds of success were planted within you when you were born. only you have the power to make those seeds grow.the seeds, and the power to grow them, are contained in the most awesome machine ever created：the human mind. success is a choice and not a chance. you were born a winner. you were born rich. you can be a success if only you make the right choice.you cannot be successful without first developing your self-esteem. your level of self-esteem is always based on the degree of control that you are able to exercise over yourself, and thus over your life. people with low self-esteem are people who do not believe that they have any power, or responsibility for their lives. they are the perennial(长期的) victims and martyrs（殉道者）. they are leaves tossed(摇摆) by the winds of chance blown about with any sudden change in the weather.you can exercise control over your life only to the degree that you believe that you are responsible for everything that happens in your life. failures think that everything happens by accident and chance. successful people realize that they are responsible.everything happens as a result of something. if we can identify the cause, we can control the effect. we are responsible for what we choose to think and believe. one generally rises to the level that one expects. we are responsible for setting our expectations. our success is dependent upon our level of confidence.if you associate with positive-thinking people, you are definitely going to achieve success. on the contrary, the opposite happens. we are responsible for finding, planting, and nurturing the seeds that contain future victory, born from setbacks.in short, in all areas of your life, whether they be financial, physical, emotional, or spiritual, you are responsible. once you recognize this, accept it, and firmly believe it, you are on the road to success.51. people with low self-esteem are compared to leaves because they_. a. are ready to change their minds b. cant exercise control over themselves c. dont have the power to face their fate d. are easily affected by windy weather52. losers would think that_. a. success is the result of hard work b. their failure is only because of bad luck c.working hard will lead to success d. they dont make efforts to succeed53. it can be inferred from paragraph 5 that_. a. setting our expectations is essential before taking action b. developing confidence is the key to future success c. thoughts and beliefs are the result of creative mind d. whether we will succeed depends on our attitudes 54. the last paragraph serves as_. a. the proof of the authors points b. an introduction to another topic c. the conclusion of the argument d. a comparison between two views 55. which is the best title for the text? a.develop our confidence.b. the secrets of success. c. success is a choice. d. how to achieve success.【参考答案】5155 bbdcc阅读理解。using too much water or throwing rubbish into our rivers are clear ways that humans can put our water supply in danger，but we also affect our water supply in less obvious ways. you may wonder how paving(铺砌) a road can lead to less usable fresh water. a major part of the water we use every day is groundwater. groundwater does not come from lakes or rivers.it comes from underground. the more roads and parking lots we pave，the less water can flow into the ground to become groundwater. human activity is not responsible for all water shortages(短缺). drier climates are of course more likely to have droughts(干旱) than areas with more rainfall，but in any case, good management can help to make sure there is enough water to meet our basic needs. thinking about the way we use water every day can make a big difference，too. in the united states，a family of four can use 1.5 tons of water a day! this shows how much we depend on water to live，but theres a lot we can do to lower the number.you can take steps to save water in your home.to start with，use the same glass for your drinking water all day.wash it only once a day.run your dishwasher (洗碗机)only when it is full. help your parents fix any leaks in your home. you can even help to keep our water supply clean by recycling batteries instead of throwing them away.60which of the following is most likely to lead to less groundwater? ausing river water. bthrowing batteries away. cpaving parking lots. dthrowing rubbish into lakes.61what can be inferred from the text?aall water shortages are due to human behavior.bit takes a lot of effort to meet our water needs.cthere is much we can do to reduce family size.dthe average family in america makes proper use of water.62the last paragraph is intended to _ashow us how to fix leaks at homebtell us how to run a dishwashercprove what drinking glass is best for usdsuggest what we do to save water at home 63. the text is mainly about _awhy paving roads reduces our waterbhow much we depend on water to livecwhy droughts occur more in dry climatesdhow human activity affects our water supply【要点综述】 人类活动对地球水资源供给的影响巨大，人类应该通过调整自身的活动方式来改变自身的生存环境。60c细节理解题。根据第一段“the more roads and parking lots we pave, the less water can flow into the ground to become groundwater.”可知，铺设马路、停车场会导致地下水减少，而a、b、d三项都会导致水的供应量减少，而不是地下水减少，故排除。61b推理判断题。根据第二段中的“good management”、第三段中的“the way we use water every day”，以及第四段中的“take steps to save water in your home”可知，为满足我们用水的需求，需要做的努力还有很多。62d推理判断题。根据题干中的关键词“last paragraph”定位到该段第一句“you can take steps to save water in your home.”，且它后面的内容都是围绕这个主题句展开的。63d主旨大意题。根据题干中的关键词“mainly about”定位到全文的内容。文章第一段讲的是“铺设马路、停车场会导致地下水减少”，后三段讲述了“为了满足我们的用水需求，我们能做些什么”。所有这些讲的都是人类活动对地球水资源供给的影响，故选d。c72013安徽卷 -d “people are ruder today because they are rushed and more time poor than ever before，” says patsy rowe, “manners_have_fallen_off_the_radar(雷达)” due to our strong attraction to electronic equipment it is a wonder more people dont wake up each morning and greet the singing birds with a complaint(抱怨)about the noise. here are some examples of rudeness. some people prefer to do almost everything over the internet. to them, dealing with an actual human is like an evolutionary step backward. it feels very slow because humans dont work at 4g speeds. when you have dinner with friends, you will often notice someone paying more attention to his mobile phone. we have programmed ourselves to think that every new message brings lifechanging news, so taking calls and checking our texts are more important than talking to the people we are with. what is worse, some people even tend to send anonymous(匿名的) rude messages by email. however, rudeness is never acceptable. dont assume it is ok to be rude if the person youre in touch with wont recognize you. if you have something awful to say, have the courage to face the person and say it, write a letter or email and sign it, or forget it. upsetting people with unsigned
