Believing my career was over, I felt extremely low. Then one of the specialists said there was no reason why I should stop training and competing. That was itthe encouragement I needed. I could still be a winner if I believe in myself. I am not saying that it isnt difficult sometimes. But I wanted to prove to myself that I wasnt finished yet. Nothing is to stand in my way.”Karen PickeringSwimming World Champion “I swim 4 hours a day, 6 days a week. I manage that sort of workload by putting it on top of my diary. This is the key to successyou cant follow a career in any field without being well-organized. List what you believe you can achieve. Trust yourself, write down your goals for the day, however small they are, and youll be a step closer to achieving them.”Kirsten BestPoet & Writer “When things are getting hard, a voice inside my head tells me that I cant achieve something. Then, there are other distractions, such as family or hobbies. The key is to concentrate. When I feel tense, it helps a lot to repeat words such as calm, peace or focus, either out loud or silently in my mind. It makes me feel more in control and increases my confidence. This is a habit that can become second nature quite easily and is a powerful psychological tool.”21. What does Sir Steven Redgrave mainly talk about? A. Difficulties influenced his career. B.

Self-confidenceB Eleven-year-old Evan Green doesnt want to save just one treehe wants to save a whole rainforest! In the Redwood City, Calif., a boy started a group called the Red Dragon Conservation Team four years ago to do just that. So far, the teams members have raised $4,500. Thats enough to purchase and protect more than 16 acres of rainforest in Costa Rica through the Center for Ecosystem survival. Every year, thousands of square miles of rainforest are destroyed worldwide. Logging and farming are mostly likely to blame, scientists say. The loss is terrible news for animals and people. Even though rainforests cover less than 2 percent of the earth, they are home to half the worlds plants and animals. Rainforests also provide water and help control the earths climate. Evans work to save the rainforests recently earned him a Barron prize for Young Heroes. The prizes are given to children or teenagers who have made a positive difference in the world. Evans goal is “to save enough rainforests to last forever”. He wont have to do it alone. His actions have already inspired other kids to chip in. One girl asked for donations instead of presents on her birthday. She raised $850. Other kids are starting their own conservation teams. Evan says everyone can help the planeteven by taking small steps such as recycling. He and his family try to make a difference every day. “We recycle, we try to limit our garbage weve been walking a little more, and we buy local food,” Evan said.25. Evan started the group _.

Rainforests are being destroyedC Determined to make school more related to the workplace, Roosevelt High School in Portland, Oregon, developed a school-to-work program. In their first year, students are offered some job pathways in natural resources, human services, health care, business, arts and communication. The following year, each student chooses one of the pathways and examines it in depth, spending three hours a week watching someone on the job. Such a program is also in practice in some other states. The school-to-work program is built around a partnership. For example, Eastman Kodak, a major employer in Colorado, introduces students to business by helping them construct a model city using small pieces of wood. “The children use the models to decide on the best place to set up schools,” says Lucille Mantelli, director for Eastman Kodak in Colorado. Kodak introduces math by teaching fifth graders to use their pocket money properly. They also provide one-on-one job watching experiences and offer chances of practice for high school juniors and seniors. “Students come to the workplace two or three hours a week,” explains Mantelli. “They do the job for us. We pay them and they get school credits (学分). We also give them our views on their performance and developmental opportunities.” In these partnerships, everybody wins. The students tend to take more difficult courses than students in schools that dont offer such programs. Business benefits by having a better prepared workforce needed in future years. “Its a way for us to work with the school systems to develop the type of workforce well need in future years,” Mantelli continued. “We need employees who understand the basics of reading and writing. We need them to be good at math and to be comfortable working on a team.” “Our theory is that they can learn as much outside the classroom as in. All students have the ability to change the world, not just to live in it. To do that, they have to know how to solve problems and use critical thinking skills. We need to encourage them to dream about jobs that go beyond what they see today,” concludes a school-to-work program organizer. 29. Using the example of Eastman Kodak in Colorado, the writer shows us _. A. what role the business plays in the program B. why the students get paid for their jobs C. where the students have their math class D. what the school decides to do30. The main purpose of the school-to-work program is to _. A. make what students learn in school related to the workplace B. introduce new job opportunities to schools C. improve relations between students and teachers D. offer students more difficult courses31. According to the text, Lucille Mantelli is _. A. a math teacher B. a company manager C. a school designer D. a program organizer D If humans were truly at home under the light of the moon and stars，we would go in darkness happily，the midnight world as visible to us as it is to the vast number of nocturnal(夜间活动的) species on this planet. Instead，we are diurnal(白天的) creatures, with eyes adapted to living in the suns light. This is a basic evolutionary fact, even though most of us dont think of ourselves as diurnal beings. Yet its the only way to explain what weve done to the night: Weve engineered it to receive us by filling it with light. The benefits of this kind of engineering come with consequences 一 called light pollution 一 whose effects scientists are only now beginning to study. Light pollution is largely the result of bad lighting design，which allows artificial light to shine outward and upward into the sky. III-designed lighting washes out the darkness of night and completely changes the light levels 一 and light rhythms to which many forms of life, including, ourselves, have adapted. Wherever human light spills into the natural world, some aspect or life is affected . In most cities the sky looks as though it has been emptied of stars, leaving behind a vacant haze(霾) that mirrors our fear of the dark. Weve grown so used to this orange haze that the original glory of an unlit night, - dark enough for the planet Venus to throw shadow on Earth, is wholly beyond our experience, beyond memory almost. Weve lit up the night as if it were an unoccupied country, when nothing could be further form the truth. Among mammals alone, the number of nocturnal species is astonishing, Light is a powerful biological force, and on many species it acts as a magnet(磁铁). The effect is so powerful that scientists speak of songbirds and seabirds being “captured” by searchlights on land or by the light from gas flares on marine oil platforms. Migrating at night, birds tend to collide with brightly lit tall buildings. Frogs living near brightly lit highways suffer nocturnal light levels that are as much as a million times righter than normal, throwing nearly every aspect of their behavior out of joint including most other creatures ,we do need darkness .Darkness is as essential to our biological welfare, to our internal clockwork, as light itself. Living in a glare of our making,we have cut ourselves off from our evolutionary and cultural heritagethe light of the stars and the rhythms of day and night .In a very real sense light pollution causes us to lose sight of our true place in the universe, to forget the scale of our being, which is best measured against the dimensions of a deep night with the Milky Waythe edge of our galaxy arching overhead.32. According to the passage, human being . A. prefer to live in the darkness B. are used to living in the day light C. were curious about the midnight world D. had to stay at home with the light of the moon33. What does “it”(Paragraph 1) most probably refer to? A. The night.B. The moon C. The sky D. The planet34. The writer mentions birds and frogs to . A. provide examples of animal protection B. show how light pollution affects animals C. compare the living habits of both species D. explain why the number of certain species has declined35. It is implied in the last paragraph that A. light pollution dose harm to the eyesight of animals B. light pollution has destroyed some of the world heritages C. human beings cannot go to the outer space D. human beings should reflect on their position in the universe二、七选五（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）E Each year there is an increasing number of cars on roads and streets as millions of new cars and trucks are produced. One out of every six Americans works at putting together the parts of cars, driving trucks, building roads or filling cars and trucks with gas. 36 Most Americans would find it hard to imagine what life would look like without cars. 37 . The polluted air becomes poisonous and dangerous to health. 38 . Thats what several of the large car factories have been trying to do. But to build a clean car is easier said than done. Progress in this field has been slow. Another way is to take the place of the car engine by something else. 39 . Many makers believe that it will take years to develop a practical model that pleases man. To prevent the world from being polluted by cars, well have to make some changes in the way many of us live. Americans, for example, have to cut down on the number of their total cars. They are encouraged to travel and go to work by bicycle. Bicycling is thought to help the air clean. But this change does not come easily. A large number of workers may find themselves without jobs if a car factory closes down. 40 . Although cars have led us to a better life, they have also brought us new problems. A.Inventors are now working on steam cars as well as electric carsB. Americans know cars very well.C. However, some have realized the serious problems of the air pollution that is caused by cars.D. One way to get rid of the polluted air is to build a car that does not pollute.E. However, the number of vehicles has continued to increase in recent years.F. Americans wont live without cars!G. Thus the problem of air pollution would become less important than that of unemployment.第三部分、词汇一、完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分） As I held my fathers hands one night, I couldnt help but notice their calluses(老茧）and roughness. His hands tell the story of his life as a 41 , including all his struggles. One summer, I remember, a drought (旱灾）hit Ontario, turning it into a 42 desert.
