After that, there were TV 21 and books about them; people said their simple lives showed that human beings could be good

10、 and kind if they were not 22 by modern life. Then after 1974 the region was closed by the government and the world 23 about them.In 1986, a Swiss journalist, Oswald Iten, decided to visit the Tasaday. The journey _24_ thick rainforests and across rivers was hard and dangerous. Mr. Iten was 25 kille

11、d by the soldiers, villagers and businessmen who wanted to take the wood from the rainforest. Finally, Mr. Iten 26 and found the caves of the Tasaday 27 . The people were living in nearby huts and they were all 28 jeans and T-shirts, not leaves. He thought that perhaps they were not an ethnic minori

12、ty 29 .When he 30 to Switzerland, Mr. Iten wrote about the Tasaday people in the newspapers. He said he thought that they were just ordinary farmers, poor, but not 31 from anyone else.

17、stone may break my bones, but words will never hurt me.” However, thats not really true. Words have the power to build us up or tear us down. It doesnt matter if the words e from someone else or ourselves the positive and negative effects are just as lasting.We all talk to ourselves sometimes. Were

18、usually too embarrassed to admit it, though. But we really shouldnt be, because more and more experts believe talking to ourselves out loud is a healthy habit.This “self-talk” helps us motivate ourselves, remember things, solves problems, and calm ourselves down. Beware, though, that as much as 77%

19、of self-talk tends to be negative. So in order to stay positive, we should only speak words of encouragement to ourselves. We should also be quick to give ourselves a pat on the back. The next time you finish a project, do well in a test, or finally clean your room, join me in saying, “Good job!”Wor

20、ds possess power because of their lasting effects. Many of us regret something we once said. And we remember unkind words said to us! Before speaking, we should always ask ourselves: Is it true? Is it loving? Is it needed? If what we want to say doesnt pass this test, then its better left unsaid.Wor

21、ds possess power: both positive and negative. Those around us receive encouragement when we speak positively. We can offer hope, build self-esteem(自尊) and motive others to do their best. Negative words destroy all those things. Will we use our words to hurt or to heal? The choice is ours.36The autho

22、r argues in the first paragraph that _.Awords will never hurt us at all Bwords have lasting effects on usCpositive effects last longer than negative effectsDnegative words last longer than positive effects37Why should we not feel embarrassed when talking to ourselves?AAlmost everybody has the habit

23、of talking to oneself.BIt does harm to have “self-talk” when we are alone.CTalking to ourselves helps us to solve all the problems.DTalking to ourselves is believed to be good for our health.38The underlined phrase “give ourselves a pat on the back” in Paragraph 3 means _.Ablame ourselves Bpunish ou

24、rselves Cpraise ourselves Dtalk to ourselves39Which of the following statements would the author agree to?AIt is better to think twice before talking to others.BIt is impossible for unkind words to be forgotten.CWords always possess long positive effects.DKind words are sometimes not needed at all.B

25、WASHINGTON Barack Obama swept to victory as the first black president in the US history Tuesday night in an electoral college landslide that overcame racial barriers as old as America itself. Change has e, he told a huge group of cheering supporters.In his first speech as victor, Obama catalogued th

26、e challenges ahead. The greatest of a lifetime, he said, two wars, a planet in danger, the worst financial crisis in a century.He added, There are many who wont agree with every decision or policy I make as president, and we know that government cant solve every problem. But I will always be honest

27、with you about the challenges we face.The son of a black father from Kenya and a white mother from Kansas, the Democratic senator from Illinois sealed his historic triumph by defeating Republican Sen. John McCain in a string of wins in hard-fought battleground states - Ohio, Florida, Virginia, Iowa

28、and more.In his speech, Obama invoked (引用) the words of Lincoln and echoed John F. Kennedy.So let us summon a new spirit of patriotism, of service and responsibility where each of us resolves to pitch in (努力投入) and work harder, he said.He and his running mate, Joseph Biden of Delaware, will take the

29、ir oaths（宣誓）of office as president and vice president on Jan. 20, xx.Obama will move into the Oval Office as leader of a country that is almost certainly in recession (不景气), and fighting two long wars, one in Iraq, the other in Afghanistan.Obama has said his first order of presidential business will

According to the passage, Obamas attitude toward the challenges he faces is _. A. positive B. negative C. ambiguous D. worriedCIt is true that shyness can be

33、a disadvantage socially for those who suffer from it seriously. I mean real shyness, not somebody who is simply quiet. Quiet people could be shy, but on the other hand, they may just be observing because they are unsure of you or others in your pany. They may be capable of being extrovert (性格外向的) an

34、d sociable, but on some particular occasions, they are quiet.I have learnt from my experience that those who observe and listen more and talk less can gain a position of strength. This means that even a very shy person, the type who is reluctant to talk in pany (在交际场合) , especially new pany, can bee

35、 a strong person in just about anything they choose. Remember, knowledge is power, and a shy introvert (性格内向的人) is in a better position to gain knowledge than an extrovert. Introverted people can give great attention to learning, and as good listeners they can take in an enormous amount from others.

36、 Over time, people can e to respect them far more than the extrovert who speaks a lot. Usually about themselves.What does it take , then for a very shy person to be that successful person they have always wanted to be ? They may only need one more thing to push themselves on their way. They need to

37、dare themselves to take the leap; and when they do , they will probably find all the knowledge they have gained over the years will help them on their way to the top in their chosen field.44.

38、n may not be a calm one.C. Quiet people are usually doubtful. D. Shyness is sometimes a bad feature.45. The underlined word “reluctant” in paragraph 2 probably means _.A. lazy B. careful C. eager D. unwilling46. According to the author, introverted people can be successful because they usually _.A.

39、have a strong will B. talk less and show off lessC. learn more than extroverts D. have a good attitude to learning47. It can be learned from the last paragraph that “one more thing” probably refers to _.A. energy B. courage C. quietness D. knowledgeDSports is not only physically challenging, but it

40、can also mentally challenging. Criticism（批评）from coaches(trainers), parents, and other teammates, as well as pressure to win can create too much anxiety or stress for young athletes. Stress can be physical, emotional, or psychological, and research has showed that it can lead to burnout. Burnout has

41、 been described as dropping or quitting of an activity that was at one time enjoyable.The early years of development are critical years for learning about oneself. The sport setting is one where valuable experiences can take place. Young athletes can, for example, learn how to cooperate with others,

42、 make friends, and gain other social skills that will be used throughout their lives. Coaches and parents should be aware(realize), at all times, that their feedback（反馈）to youngsters can greatly affect their children. Youngsters may take their parents and coaches criticisms to heart and find a flaw（

43、缺陷） in themselves.Coaches and parents should also be cautious(careful) that youth sport participation does not bee work for children. The oute of the game should not be more important than the process of learning the sport and other life lessons. In todays youth sport setting, young athletes may be

44、worrying more about who will win instead of enjoying themselves and the sport. Following a game, many parents and coaches focus on(pay more attention to) the oute and find fault with youngsters performances. Positive reinforcement should be provided in spite of the oute. Research shows that positive

45、 reinforcement motivates and has a greater effect on learning than criticism. Again, criticism can create high levels of stress(pressure), which can lead to burnout.48.
