Times like these will have different degrees of intensity and duration. The greater the degree and the longer the duration, the greater the fear and sense of uncertainty will be.As many of you know, the economy seems to be in a downward spiral right now. Today alone, trillions of dollars are being wiped out in a matter of days. Peoples retirement funds are being cut in double digit percentages. Many are facing job losses in a time when they need income the most. In times like these,its a real challenge to have any optimism and confidence that things are going to be better in the near future.I read an article where a financial expert stated if he went all in with his money today, hell be better off six months from today since markets will always rebound, but added he will have many restless nights and will be constantly wondering what if this time its different?Its sometimes difficult to stay positive and motivated to work on your goals especially when all around you there are people so pessimistic about, well, everything in general. People are cutting back on everything. Conversations around the dinner table and water cooler are increasingly about the state of the economy.Ok, enough negative talk. If you notice, you have some people reacting negatively while others are acting positively. Heres what makes the difference. You get what you focus on. You can either think about how bad you have it and feel like a victim,or you can use these challenges as a reason to step up and grow from them.Yes, things look like economy will get worse. The reality, however, really depends on how you look at it and react to this situation.Like any challenge in life its not what actually happens that will determine the outcome its what you decide to do about it.In life people are always troubled with challenges.（A）A.TrueB.FalseC.Not Given2The fear and sense of uncertainty will be independent of the degree and the duration of difficult times. （B）A.TrueB.FalseC.Not Given3Because of the current economic situations, trillions of dollars are being wiped out in a few days. （A）A.TrueB.FalseC.Not Given4Peoples retirement funds are being cut in 20%. （C）A.TrueB.FalseC.Not Given5During the economic recession, its hard for people to have confidence in the future. （A）A.TrueB.FalseC.Not Given6People are reducing their expenses to save money.（A）A.TrueB.FalseC.Not Giveia7Peoples views about the future vary from person to persorn （A）A.TrueB.FalseC.Not Given8Difficulties are bound to make people become victims. （B）A.TrueB.FalseC.Not Given9The writer mainly talks about the national economy. （B）A.TrueB.FalseC.Not Given10The key to dealing with challenges lies in your attitudes towardswhat has happened. （A）A.TrueB.FalseC.Not Given第二部分：阅读选择(第1115题，每题2分。共10分)阅读下面短文，请从短文后所给各题的4个选项(A、B、C、D)中选出1个最佳选项。11回答11-15题WalkingI live about a half-mile from two gas stations, two miles from Walmart and less than two miles from the mall. These businesses are well within walking distance, but I dont walk to any of themI drive. This may seem surprising, but many Americans practice the same habit.According to the 2010 National Bicycle and Walking Study by the U. S. Department of Transportation, 72 percent of trips that are less than three miles in length are made by vehicle. Short distances can be easily traversed by foot rather than by car but only a quarter of Americans are choosing walking or biking as their means of transportation.A December 2012 study by Gregg L. Furie published in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine, says that about 25 percent of Americans participate in active transportation. Active transportation is defined as human-powered transportation, such as walking or biking. The results of the study showed that those who participated in active transportation had a lower BMI lower waist circumference, and lower odds of developing hypertension and diabetes.The Vital Signs Walking Among Adults study by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention encourages adults to get at least 150 minutes per week of moderate-intensity aerobic activity. However, about half of all adults do not get the recommended amount of exercise, and about one-third reported no physical activity at all The study also showed that walkers were three times more likely to meet the recommended amount of exercise than non-walkers.In addition to the health benefits associated with active transportation, there are many less obvious benefits as well. The American Automobile Associations(AAA) annual Your Driving Costs study for 2012 revealed that the average annual cost for owning and operating a sedan is $ 8,946. Compared with essentially cost-free foot travel or the $120 annual cost of owning a bicycle, choosing active trans portation saves you money.Walking is an easily accessible activity that can be done anywhere anytime with anyone. By implementing walking as a primary form of commuting, people can increase their health and decrease their spending. Participating in human-powered transportation also removes some of the stresses of driving from peoples lives. By walking, people can avoid traffic congestion, stop signs, and road rage. Realistically, walking to work could not only be more beneficial, but also more practical than driving.So, put down the car keys, lace up your walking shoes and prepare yourself for a commute that few choose to experience-walking.From the first paragraph we can know that（B）A.the writer is too lazy to walk to workB.American people prefer driving to walking in spite of the short distanceC.the writer is very lucky to live not far away from gas stations and shopping mallsD.it is very convenient for the writer to go shopping12From the 2010 National icycle and Walking Study we can see that. （C）A.72% of people prefer to drive carsB.few people like to travel long distances by carsC.75 % of people choose driving cars as their means of transportationD.most people prefer to travel short distances on foot13Its reported that adults dont do exercises at all. （D）A.halfB.one quarterC.two-thirdsD.one-third14Active transportation not only has health benefits, but also （A）A.save moneyB.lower waist circumferenceC.reduces the risks of diabetesD.save time15Walking does great good to people like（D）A.removing stressesB.avoiding traffic jamsC.increasing health and decreasing costsD.All of the above第三部分：概括段落大意和补全句子(第1625题。每题1分。共10分)阅读下面短文，请完成短文后的2项测试任务：(1)从第1620题后所给的6个选项中为第段每段选择1个正确的小标题；(2)从第2125题后所给的6个选项中选择5个正确选项。分别完成每个句子。16回答16-25题lnternet_The internet is a wonderful thing it connects you with a world of people you might not ever have met in your entire lifetime.
