Like most skills, it _36_ with practice. If you want to meet people and make friends, you must be willing to take some actions. You must first go where there are people. You wont make friends staying home alone.Join a club or group, for talking with those who like the same things _37_ you do is much easier. Or join someone in some activity. Many people are _38_ when talking to people. After all, meeting _39_ means facing the unknown. And its human nature to feel a bit uncomfortable about the unknown.Most of our fears about dealing with new people come from doubts about ourselves. We think other people are judging us, find us too tall or too short, too _40_ or too that. But dont forget that they must be feeling the same way. Try to accept yourself as you are, and try to put the other person at ease(舒适). And youll feel more _41_.Try to act self-confidently(自信地) even if you dont feel that way when you enter a room full of strangers, such as a new classroom, walk tall and straight, look directly at other people and smile.If you see someone youd like to _42_ something to, dont wait for _43_ person to start a conversation.Just meeting someone new doesnt mean that you will make friends with that person-_44_ is based on mutual(相互的)liking and “give and take”. It takes time and effort to develop. And there are things that _45_ a new friendship from growing.36. A.producesB.improvesC.increaseD.raises37. A.likeB.ifC.asD.when38.

Somebody mentions hard-work, others suggest knowledge, love and luck. If you arrange the 26 English letters alphabetically (按字母表的顺序) and use numbers to represent each of them, for example, 1 for a, 2 for b, 3 for c, you can change an English word into a number. So hard-work becomes 8+1+18+4+23+15+18+11=98, meaning 98 is its mark; knowledge: 11+14+15+23+12+5+4+7+5=96, while love: 12+15+22+5=54, and luck: 12+21+3+11=47, a small mark. None of these words can give us a full mark. What about money or prayer (祈祷)? They cant, either. Then what else? Dont be worried. You can always find an answer to a problem in your life, when you change your way of looking at things or doing things, or your attitude. Yes, attitude is the word. See for yourself: attitude: 1+20+20+9+20+21+4+5=100, a full mark. Different attitudes lead to different courses of life. Most times people hope for a better life. It is possible that one will have a change for the better after one has changed ones attitude. When you change your manner and became friendly towards others, youll meet more smiling faces towards you. In the same way, if you take a positive attitude towards failure, youll find its also rewarding though it has caused you losses.46. How can we solve a problem in our life according to the writer?A.Change the way how we look at things.B.Have different attitudes.C.Study math.D.Learn from others.47.Which of the following is TRUE?A.None of the words in English can give us a full mark.B.Failure can also be rewarding.C.The word “hard-work” has the highest mark.D.Nobody thinks attitude is the most important.48.It is possible that you will have a change for the better if you _.A.can work out the mark of every word.B.have hard-work, knowledge, money and luck.C.are friendly to othersD.have a more positive attitude49.If we use numbers to represent “money” according to the text, what mark can we get?A.70B.71C.72D.7350.Whats the main idea of the passage?A.Failure lead to success.B.People hope for a better life.C.Your life will be changed if you change your attitude.D.How important a good attitude is!BMauricios business talent as much as his cartoon drawing skills made him known as “the Walt Disney of Brazil”. Mauricio de Sousa is a very good example of why you shouldnt give up your dreams after being refused at first.As a child, he made a decision to become a professional cartoonist, so, aged 19, Mauricio left his small hometown and moved to Sao Paulo, Brazils largest city, to realize his dream. Planning to produce cartoons for a newspaper, he was instead repeatedly refused. But not a person to be discouraged, the young Mauricio came up with a plan- hed get a different job on a newspaper, while continuing to practice and improve his skills as a cartoonist in his spare time.He held to wait five years before he got a cartoon accepted. His first comic was about a special dog. It was popular enough for Mauricio to be able to stop reporting, and become a full-time cartoonist.His name is not only famous in Brazil, but his work is also translated and sold around the world. For almost sixty years, Mauricio has sold more than 1,000,000,000 comics and books worldwide. Whats more, his company- Mauricio de Sousa Productions(MSP) -produces cartoon films and theatre productions, runs a theme park, make computer games and lovely toys, and licenses his characters to hundreds of products. Today, while the comics are his “calling card”, most of the companys profits(利润) come from licensed products.51. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A.The Walt Disney of BrazilB.A World-famous Business TalentC.Mauricios Calling Card- ComicsD.Mauricios Licensed Products52.The underlined word “it” in Para.3 refers to _.A.a special dogB.Mauricios first comicC.reportingD.Folha de Sao Paulo53.Whats Mauricios companys profits mainly from?A.comic booksB.cartoon filmsC.licensed productsD.computer games54.What can we learn from the passage?A.Mauricio made a lot of money by making games after stopping reporting.B.The products come from Mauricios company sell well online.C.The characters from Mauricios films are popular among kids.D.Mauricio de Sousa may enjoy a high international honor.55.Mauricios story can be of great encouragement for the people who _.A.have opened their own companiesB.like drawing cartoons as a hobbyC.want to move to live in Sao PauloD.have failed and plan to give upCWhich comes first, happiness or money? Are richer people happier? And if so, how do people get much richer? A recent study could tell you the answer.The study looked into thousands of teenagers and found that those who felt better about life as young adults tended to have higher incomes(收入) by the time they turned 29. Those who were happiest earned an average of $8,000 more than those who were the most depressed.The researchers, from University College London and the University of Warwick, say that very gloomy teens, no matter how tall or smart they were, earned 10% less than their peers, while the happier ones earned up to 30% more.Happier teenagers have an easier time getting through school, college and a job interview, chiefly because they always feel better about life. It may also be true that happier people find it easier to make friends, who are often the key to homework help or networking.A report in June suggested that professional respect was more important than dollars in terms of workplace happiness. In August scientists announced that they had found the gene(基因) for happiness in women, Alas (the same gene doesnt appear to have the same effect on men）. And in October researchers in the UK and in the US announced that people who eat seven portions of fruit and vegetables a day report being the happiest.The big question is: if it really is true that happier kids end up being wealthier kids, is it necessary for parents to get their kids to do the homework? The fact is that no homework will make kids happy but surely hurt their grades. Studies do show, after all, that more education leads to better-paid jobs, which may give us a deep thought.“These findings show that the teenagers happiness is important to their future success,” one of the reports authors writes. “But what is the most important is that we should find a way to help children gain more satisfaction from doing schoolwork.”56. If the most unhappy adult earns $1,2000 per month, how much does the happiest adult possibly earn averagely?A.more than $8,000B.about $2,0000C.almost $13,200D.about $15,60057. What conclusion can the researchers draw from the recent study?A.Happy teenagers grow up to be wealthier.B.Money can make people become happier.C.Wealth has nothing to do with happiness at all.D.Schoolwork can help teens achieve success.58. The main reason why happier people have more chances to succeed is that _.A.they are easy to communicate with othersB.they are good at doing their schoolworkC.they are hopeful and optimistic(乐观) about their lifeD.they eat much more fruit and vegetables a day59. The underlined word “gloomy” in Paragraph 3 probably means “_”.A.upsetB.gloriousC.happyD.wealthy60. The passage mainly tell us _.A.the way to educate kidsB.the source of happinessC.how to achieve your goalD.the secret of being wealthierDHave you ever wondered why Americans drive on a different side of the road compared with our British friends? It might seem strange that U.K. drivers stay on the left, but theyre not alone. Around 35% of people in the world do the same.At first, almost everybody traveled on the left side of the road, For medieval swordsmen(中世纪的剑客), it made sense to keep to the left to have their right arms closer to their enemies, and because getting on and off the house from the left side of the horse was also easier, and safer done by the side of the road than in the center.Then why people stopped that? It is believed that the change began in the late 1770s when large wagons(货车) pulled by several pairs of horses were used transport farm products in France and the United States. Without a drivers seat inside the wagon, the driver sat on the back of the left horse, and since he was sitting on the left, he wanted other wagons to pass on his left so he kept to the right side of the road.But the British Government refused to give up their left-hand driving ways, and in 1773 passed the “General Highways Act”, which encouraged driving on the left. Later, the British and the French were frighting for their power across the globe, which could explain why former British colonies(殖民地定居群体) drove on the left, while former French colonies drove on the right.61. The author began this passage with a question in order to _.A.introduce the whole articleB.list other different ways of drivingC.tell us the difference between the UK and the USD.show us his worry about road safety62. The Medieval swordsmen chose to stay on the left to _.A.have better chances of frighting enemiesB.be able to move around on the horseback much more easilyC.keep their right arms closer to enemies on the horsebackD.notice their enemies in a more convenient way63. What does the underlined word “that” in the third paragraph refer to?A.Riding horses like Medieval swordsmen.B.Traveling on the left side of the road.C.Keeping the right arm closer to enemies.D.Getting on and off the horse from the left.64. After the late 1700s people kept driving on the right because _.A.many horses pulled the same wagon at the same timeB.wagon drivers wanted other drivers to pass on his left sideC.drivers were able to drive the horses more easilyD.the drivers wanted to have a better view of the road65. This passage mainly tells us _.A.why British people refused to changed its drivingB.American driving is different from that of BritainC.fights for world powers between different countriesD.why people drive on different sides of the road第二节 阅读下面短文，从短文后所给的五个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，使短文通顺、连贯，意思完整。（共5小题；每小题1分，满分5分）EEyesight plays a very important role in our daily life.

Over forty percent of Americans worry about losing eyesight, but its easy to include steps into our daily life to ensure(保证) healthy eyes. Here are five suggestions for a lifetime of healthy eyesight: Schedule yearly exams. _66_ Experts advise parents to bring babies 6 to 12 months of age to the doctor for a careful check. The good news is that millions of children now can have yearly eye exams and following treatment, including eyeglasses. Protect against UV rays (紫外线).
