bwhat will people die of 100 years from now? if you think that is a simple question, you have not been paying attention to the revolution that is taking place in bio-technology(生物技术). with the help of new medicine, the human body will last a very long time. death will come mainly from accidents, murder and war. todays leading killers, such as heart disease, cancer, and aging itself, will become distant memories.in discussion of technological changes, the internet gets most of the attention these days. but the change in medicine can be the real technological event of our times. how long can humans live? human brains were known to decide the final death. cells(细胞) are the basic units of all living things, and until recently, scientists were sure that the life of cells could not go much beyond l20 years because the basic materials of cells, such as those of brain cells, would not last forever. but the upper limits will be broken by new medicine. so sometime between 2050 and 2100, medicine will have advanced to the point at which every 10 years or so, people will be able to take medicine to repair their organs. the medicine, made up of the basic building materials of life, will build new brain cells, heart cells, and so onin much the same way our bodies make new skin cells to take the place of old ones.it is exciting to imagine that the advance in technology may be changing the most basic condition of human existence, but many technical problems still must be cleared up on the way to this wonderful future.24. according to the passage, human death is now mainly caused by .a. accidents and war b. diseases and aging c. accidents and aging d. heart disease and war25. in the authors opinion, todays most important advance in technology lies in .a. brain cellsb. the internet c. medicine d. human organ26. humans may live longer in the future because .a. human organs can be repaired by new medicineb. human brains can decide the final deathc. the basic materials of cells will last forever d. heart disease will be far away from us 27. we can learn from the passage that .a. human life will not last more than 120 years in the futureb. humans have to take medicine to build new skin cells nowc. we have already solved the technical problems in building new cellsd. much needs to be done before humans can have a longer life cwhen something goes wrong，it can be very satisfying to say, “well, its so-and-sos fault.” or “i know im late，but its not my fault; the car broke down.” it is probably not your fault，but once you form the habit of blaming somebody or something else for a bad situation，you are a loser. you have no power and could do nothing that helps change the situation. however, you can have great power over what happens to you if you stop focusing on whom to blame and start focusing on how to remedy the situation. this is the winners key to success.winners are great at overcoming problems. for example, if you were late because your car broke down, maybe you need to have your car examined more regularly. or, you might start to carry along with you the useful phone numbers, so you could call for help when in need. for another example, if your colleague (同事) causes you problems on the job for lack of responsibility or ability, find ways of dealing with his irresponsibility or inability rather than simply blame the person. ask to work with a different person, or dont rely on this person. you should accept that the person is not reliable and find creative ways to work successfully regardless of how your colleague fails to do his job well.this is what being a winner is all aboutcreatively using your skills and talents so that you are successful no matter what happens. winners dont have fewer problems in their lives; they have just as many difficult situations to face as anybody else. they are just better at seeing those problems as challenges and opportunities to develop their own talents. so, stop focusing on “whose fault it is.” once you are confident about your power over bad situations, problems are just stepping stones for success. 28. according to the passage, winners .a. meet with fewer difficulties in their lives b. deal with problems rather than blame othersc. have responsible and able colleagues d. blame themselves rather than others29. the underlined word “remedy” in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to .a. improve b. accept c. damage d. consider30. when your colleague brings about a problem, you should .a. blame him for his lack of responsibility b. find a better way to handle the problemc. tell him to find the cause of the problem d. ask a more able colleague for help31. which of the following is the best title for the passage?a. a winners opportunity. b. a winners achievement.c. a winners problem. d. a winners secret. d iceland has energy to spare, and the small country has found a cutting-edge (尖端的) way to reduce its oil dependency. volcanoes formed the island nation out of ash and lava, which heats huge underground lakes to the boiling point. the hot water is piped into cities providing heat for homes, businesses and even swimming pools. the volcanoes melted ice, which formed rivers. the water runs through turbines, providing all the countrys electricity. iceland wants to make plans to improve its cars, buses and trucks to run on renewable energy. iceland has already started by turning water into fuel hydrogen fuel. heres how it works: electrodes (电极) change the water into hydrogen and oxygen molecules. hydrogen electrons pass through a conductor that creates the current to power an electric engine. hydrogen fuel now costs two to three times as much as gasoline, but gets up to three times the distance than gas, making the overall cost about the same. as an added benefit, there is no carbon only water steam. in the capital, reykjavik, they are already testing three hydrogen-powered electric buses. the drivers are impressed. “i like these buses better because with hydrogen you get no pollution,” said bus driver rognvaldur jonatanlson. by the middle of this century, all icelanders will be required to run their cars only on hydrogen fuel, meaning no more gasoline. “if we make hydrogen and use that as a fuel for transportation then we can run the whole society on our own local renewable energy sources,” said marie mack. icelanders are showing the world that by making fuel from water, it is possible to kick the oil habit.32. from paragraph 1 we may infer that _.a. iceland lacks natural resources b. all the countrys electricity is made from coalc. iceland mainly depends on oil for energy d. volcanoes do more good than harm to iceland33. which of the following is necessary during the period of turning water into fuel according to paragraph 2?a. conductor. b. electric engine. c. electricity. d. turbine.34. the advantage for the cars with hydrogen as fuel is that _.a. the cars run much faster. b. the cars are cheap.c. the cars are environmentally friendly. d. the cars will make useful steam.35. what would be the best title for the passage?a. pollution saying good-bye to the world.b. iceland planning to use water as fuel. c. iceland becoming a country without oil.d. man able to kick the oil habit.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人空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 forgiveness to forgive is a virtue, but no one has ever said it is easy. when someone has deeply hurt you, it can be extremely difficult to let go of your hate. however, forgiveness is possible, and it can be surprisingly beneficial to your physical and mental health. people who forgive show less sadness, anger and stress and more hopefulness, according to a recent research. 36try the following steps:calm yourself.37 you can take a couple of breaths and think of something that gives you pleasure: a beautiful scene in nature, or someone you love.dont wait for an apology.many times the person who hurt you does not intend to apologize. they may have wanted to hurt you or they just dont see things the same way. 38keep in mind that forgiveness does not necessarily mean becoming friends again with the person who upset you.take the control away from your offender(冒犯者). rethinking about your hurt gives power to the person who causes you pain. instead of focusing on your wounded feelings, learn to look for the love, beauty and kindness around you. 39.if you understand your offender, you may realize that he or she was acting out of unawareness, fear, and even love. you may want to write a letter to yourself from your offenders point of view.dont forget to forgive yourself. 40.but it can rob you of your self-confidence if you dont do it. a. for some people, forgiving themselves is the biggest challenge.b. try to see things from your offenders angle.c. recognize the benefits of forgiveness.d. how should you start to forgive?e. to make your anger die away, try a simple stress-management technique.f. if you wait for people to apologize, you could be waiting for an awfully long time.g. why should you forgive?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,
