feelings. of course, animals communicate with each other differently from humans, and each type of animal communicates differently. for example, a bee uses a dance to tell the rest of the bees in the hive (蜂窝) where there is food, while whales communicate through the use of pleasant-sounding sounds. one could say then, that animals use different languages.like animals, people also use different languages. each culture has its own words and symbols that are used by people within that culture to communicate with others in the same culture. for example, a person living in japan will use the japanese language to communicate with other japanese. unlike animals though, some cultures use more than one language. people within these cultures are said to be either bilingual (双语的) or multilingual (多语的). one such place is canada. it is very likely that a person living in canada may speak both french and english. likewise, a person living in switzerland may speak italian, german and french.not only do people use different languages to communicate, but languages also have different dialects. a dialect is a difference of a language which uses words and grammar somewhat differently from the standard form of the same language. for example, people who live in manchester, england speak a dialect that is a little different from people who live in london, england; however, people in both cities speak english. there are also some people who dont use a spoken language at all. these people use their hands to communicate. this type of language is called sign language and is most commonly used by people who are deaf. now that we know how people communicate, we are faced with a question. are we part of a certain culture because of the language we speak, or do we speak a particular language because we are part of that culture? to put it more simply, is a chinese person chinese because he speaks chinese, or does he speak chinese because he was born in china? what part does language play in the definition (定义) of culture? 1. the examples of bees and whales are used to show _.a. animal languages are simple to learnb. people can understand animal languagesc. different

success in life, there are few qualities as important as confidence.people naturally have different levels of confidence. some have a higher level of confidence than others do, but even those whose confidence is lacking can learn to build their level of confidence and reach their most important goals. increasing self confidence is one of the most common reasons people give for seeking the help of psychologists and other professionals.one of the many places where a greater level of confidence is useful is in the workplace. we all know how difficult it can be, for instance, to ask the boss for a raise. this process can be extremely difficult for those who lack confidence in their own abilities. after all, if you are unsure about your own abilities, how will you ever convince your boss that you deserve more money for the work you do?even if you are not asking for that big raise, having plenty of confidence in your abilities is important to success. if you are certain of your abilities, chances are that those around you, whether they are your coworkers, your colleagues or your superiors, will see that confidence, and that will help to assure them that you are the best at what you do.being thought of as the person to go to, and being seen as an expert in your chosen field, is naturally very important to success on the job. if you can make yourself the person people go to for guidance and advice, you will help to protect yourself from the ever present danger of downsizing. after all, if you are a recognized expert at the office, you will be regarded as an indispensable member of the team.having a high level of confidence, after all, does not mean overlooking the places where you could improve. knowing what you do well and where you need help will help you enjoy increased success and confidence.8. what is the passage mainly about?a. the influence of confidence on ones life.b. the importance of confidence to success.c. the difference of peoples confidence.d. the judgment on ones confidence.9. psychologists and other professionals can offer help to those _.a. who think their goals are hard to reachb. who expect to give guidance to othersc. who want to ask the boss for a raised. who dream to be recognized experts10. what does the underlined word indispensable in paragraph 5 probably mean?a. important b. attractive c. outgoing d. energetic11. what message does the author want to convey in the last paragraph?a. to overlook ones disadvantages.b. to make full use of ones advantages.c. to have great confidence in ones abilities.d. to make objective evaluations of ones abilities.d many parents try hard to protect their kids from tv and internet advertising. but how can you protect a child from a large fast-food ad painted on her school locker(衣物柜)? or a toy ad on the side of his school bus? as school budgets get smaller, a growing number of schools in the us are selling advertising space on lockers and buses and in gyms and cafeterias. it is an easy way for schools to make money. and ads may provide relief for parents exhausted by making cash donations to support schools. while parents can always turn off the television or the computer, they cant keep advertising out of schools. this isnt the first time the issue has come up. for example, a news program for teens has been criticized for including ads in its 12-minute classroom broadcasts. and parents groups successfully fought a plan by a company called bus radio to put music and ads into school buses. but now things are different. just last month, los angeles approved a plan to allow companies to advertise in the districts schools. officials say the plan could provide as much as $18 million for the schools. in st. francis, minn., school recently agreed to cover 10% to 15% of their lockers with ads. edward saxton, a teacher in the school, says, “so far, parents are accepting this as a way to bring in needed money. the money pays for programs like arts, sports, and music. parents dont like to see programs getting cut. neither do i. besides, schools are thinking about the effects on kids all the time.” however, susan linn, an educational expert, says, “kids have already seen enough ads on tv, in magazines and on products they use daily. school is no place for advertisements at all.” readers, what about you? would you rather help run yet another school fundraiser, or expose your child to ads on lockers and buses? is keeping ads out of schools worth raising taxes, or increasing your own cash support for schools through donations?12. schools allow ads into schools to _.a. reduce parents burdens b. solve their financial problemsc. offer kids a wide choice of goodsd. improve their students living conditions13. edward saxton holds the view that _.a. schools choose ads carefullyb. ads in schools should not be too muchc. schools should be a place free from adsd. in-school ads do no harm to young kids14. what does the text mainly talk about?a. the bad effects of ads on kids. b. efforts to stop in-school advertising.c. whether ads should be allowed in schools.d. whether parents should run fundraisers for schools.15. who are the intended readers of the text?a. parents. b. teachers. c. educators. d. businessmen.第二部分：英语知识运用（共两节，满分40分）完型填空（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、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。when glen

ability to succeed, then you dont. _36_the moment you decide to give up or to stop working toward your goals, failure is born._37_most people give themselves an out without even realizing it. they are willing to work hard on reaching their goals, but only until the going gets too rough or their energy dies down. dont do that! _38_ never quit, never admit failure, and never lose heart.dont believe in a clear finish line for goals.its a good idea to set a general timeline(时间表), but remember that something will be beyond your control. _39_if you lock yourself into a given timeline, you might make yourself feel like a failure! instead, get a general idea of when youd like your goal to be completed. then take it one day at a time and focus on making progress instead of reaching the finish line in as little time as possible.be sure that you dont see difficulties as failures.difficulties mean only one thing: its not time for your goal to be completed yet. thats it! it doesnt mean you failed;

failure only exists in your own mind!c thats exactly how failure makes us feel.d it simply means you have not done enough yet.e you can never say exactly when your goal will be reached.f make up your
