    Recent studies show that only one out of three people have strong and healthy self-confidence. That  36  two out of every three people simply don’t know the  37  they already have to be successful when it’s  38  there in their hands!  39  if you want others to believe in you, you have to believe in yourself first. Remember: “No one can make you feel inferior (差的)unless you  40  them.” A successful businessman says, “You can’t push anyone up a ladder  41  he knows he can climb himself.”
    Many of us have an image  42 , the image（形象） we have of ourselves.  43  one guy put it: “You can’t win a horse race if you think you look  44  on a horse.” To succeed, the first person you have to  45  is yourself! So stop believing your own lies about yourself. Just  46  your mind and you’ll change your life.
    One of the most harmful weapons that can kill your success in life are the two little words: “ 47 ”. You know that people used to  48  that if human beings traveled faster than 30 miles an hour it would  49  our circulation（循环）of blood and kill us? Thank goodness a few people didn’t believe that  50  thinking, or we wouldn’t be riding in cars, buses, and flying in airplanes today. You’ll never know until you  51 .
    Roger Bannister was the first human being to run a mile in less than 4 minutes. But  52  he did it, most people in the world didn’t think it was even  53 . Yet only weeks after Bannister did it, suddenly  54  all over the world began running a mile in less than 4 minutes! If we believe something can be done, we’ll  55  do it.

    B
    Advice to “sleep on it” could be well founded, scientists say. After a good night’s sleep a problem that couldn’t be solved the night before can often appear more manageable, although the evidence（证据）until now has been personal experience. But researchers at the University of Luebek in Germany have designed an experiment that shows a good night’s sleep can improve insight（洞察力）and problem-solving.
    “If you have some newly-got memories in your brain, sleep acts on these memories and rebuild them, so that after sleep the insight into problem which you could not solve before increases,” said Dr Jan Born, a neuroscientist（神经病学专家）at the university. To test the theory, they taught volunteers two simple rules to help them turn some numbers into a new order．There was also a third，hidden rule，which could help them increase their speed in solving the problem．The researchers divided the volunteers into two groups：half were allowed to sleep after the training while the rest were forced to stay awake．Dr Jan Born and his team noticed that the group that had slept after the training were twice as likely to figure out the third rule as the other group．“Sleep helped，”Born said in a telephone interview．“The important thing is that you have to have a memory representation in your brain of the problem you want to solve and then you sleep，so it can act on the problem．”But Born admitted that he and his team don’t know how rebuilding of memories occurs or what governs it．Pierre Maquet and Perrine Ruby of the University of Liege in Belgium said the experimental evidence supports the suggestions that sleep can help develop creative thinking．Although the role of sleep in human creativity will still be a mystery，the research gives people good reason to fully respect their periods of sleep，they added．
    60．The underlined phrase“sleep on it”in Paragraph 1 probably means_________．
    A．to delay deciding something until the next day
    B．to get as much sleep as possible
    C．to go on sleeping without being disturbed
    D．to sleep till after the time you usually get up in the morning
    61．Jan Born and his team carried out the experiment through________．
    A．comparison    B．interview        C．survey          D．imagination
    62．It can be inferred from the passage that___________．
    A．people should sleep so long as they have time
    B．sleep is the only way to solve hard problems
    C．people have various periods of sleep   D．people know how sleep rebuilds memories
    63．What would be the best title for the passage?
    A．How Sleep Works．               B．Sleep Helps Solve Problems．
    C．No Evidence，But Well Founded．   D．Born’s Discovery on Sleep．

    Every year students flock to the college bookstore to purchase the different textbooks that they need for their classes. Little do these students realize that, in doing so, they are throwing good money away. It may sound unbelievable but textbooks, in some cases, actually cost as much as, if not more, than college fees.
    Many people think that college bookstore are the most convenient source for textbooks. Titles are usually in-stock and students may purchase new textbooks or  choose to buy second-hand books and save money . But the money saved by purchasing second-hand textbooks from college bookstores is small compared to the amount they could save by shopping online.
    More and more online booksellers have begun selling textbooks at heavily discounted prices. Online second-hand bookstores are another source for college books as they stock a large number of textbooks, which means sizable savings for students. Students should avoid purchasing their textbooks at the first store that they browse online since there are so many ‘virtual’ booksellers on the Net. Price isn't the only factor to consider when making an online purchase. Students should also consider shipping costs and delivery time when making their decision.
    Online auctions(拍卖) are another option for students seeking a bargain. This option, however, has its pros and cons. A plus is that students can get incredibly cheap books. One problem is that while online bookstores have a system in place that ensure  you receive your order within a reasonable amount of time, with an auction purchase, however, you  must depend on the auction seller's timetable.
    One way that students can really save is by getting books for free. Project Gutenberg is one resource that English majors will find invaluable. Here students can legally download a huge collection of classic novels. In the past students needing help with their studies would often have to spend a lot of money buying expensive study guides. Today that is no longer the case. Cash-strapped students can now visit the website SparkNotes for free downloadable study guides as well as classics.
    56. Which of the following is the best title of this passage?
    A. Learning to save money on Textbooks           B. Why Buy Textbooks
    C. Tips for Buying Secondhand Textbooks          D. Online Shopping
    57. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a source to obtain textbooks ?
    A. Online used bookstores.              B. College bookstores. 
    C. Online auctions.                    D. Secondhand bookstore centres.
    58. The underlined expression ‘pros and cons’(paragraph 4) is closest in meaning to __________.
    A. professionals and conservatives         B. processes and conditions
    C. joy and sadness                      D. good and bad points
    59. According to the passage, Project Gutenberg is probably __________.
    A. a project to help poor students get free learning materials
    B. a government project aimed at helping English majors
    C. a website for English majors to get the guides from language experts
    D. a website for students to get free sources for English learning
    60. From the passage, we can learn that__________.
    A. online auctions are perfect for students seeking text books.
    B. students should visit many websites before buying their books.
    C. the cost of textbooks in college is low compared to the amount spent on tuition
    D. students should consider shopping costs and delivery time above all else when making their buying decision.

    Poorer children would be offered the chance to attend lessons on Saturday to help catch up with their middle?class peers (同龄人), the shadow schools secretary, Michael Gove, said today.?The Conservatives would give English state schools the freedom to choose to have longer teaching hours and extra classes at the weekend, he told the Association of Teachers and Lecturers’annual conference.?
    Gove said the move would help to close the achievement gap with richer children whose parents could afford extras such as tutoring and music lessons.?
    He told delegates (代表) in Manchester: “For children who come from homes where parents don’t have the resources to provide additional stretch and cultural experiences, there are benefits in having those children in the learning environment, in school, for longer.”?
    “Parents would love to have schools starting earlier in some circumstances, and certainly going on later in the afternoon, given the reality of their working lives,” he said. He held up the example of Kipp (Knowledge is Power Program) schools in the US, which are often based in the poorest communities and open from 7:30 am to 5pm on weekdays, plus Saturdays.?
    But it would be up to schools to decide to offer longer hours, Gove added. ?
    Parents said Saturday classes could become a “badge of dishonor”if pupils were forced to go, while teachers raised concerns about their workload.?
    Margaret Morrissey, of Parents Outloud, said: “I think the suggestion the government made about one-to-one teaching for these kids would be a more preferable way of improving these children’s performance. I’m just not sure whether taking away a child at weekends is actually going to make them cleverer in the week.”?
    The ATL’s general secretary, Mary Bousted, said: “If we want Saturday schools, then we need more teachers doing the extra hours, not the same teachers working longer.”?
    66. The program is intended for children____________. ?
    A. who are from middle-class families?
    B. whose parents can’t afford extra help ?
    C. who perform poorly academically ?
    D. whose weekends are mostly unoccupied

    B. physical relaxation ?
    C. entertainment activities?
    D. out-of-school improvement
    68. Why did Gove mention Kipp schools in the US? ?
    A. To make a comparison.?
    B. To introduce a new program.?
    C. To seek supportive evidence.?
    D. To prove his program is better.
    69. What is Margaret Morrissey’s opinion about the new program? ?
    A. Favourable.          B. Doubtful.           C. Optimistic.         D. Acceptable.
    70. Which of the following is true??

    D
    Earth is the third planet from the sun. It is one of the four inner planets. The other three inner planets are Mercury, Venus, and Mars. The inner planets are also called the rocky planets, because they are made of rocks.
    Earth is often called the “Water Planet”, because it is the only planet in our solar system which has liquid water on its surface. About 70% of the surface of Earth is covered by water! The other part of Earth is made up of continents and islands which have different landforms on them. Examples of landforms are mountains and plains. Plants and animals can live on Earth, because it has so much water.
    Earth spins very quickly compared to other planets. It only takes Earth 24 hours to spin around its axis one time. One Earth day is 24 hours long! Earth orbits the sun in 365 days! This makes one Earth year 365 days long!
    Earth is the only planet in our solar system where humans, other animals, and plants can live. There is plenty of water to drink or to live in. Water is present on Earth in its big oceans and in the air! Clouds are made of water vapor. The atmosphere has a lot of oxygen in it for animals to breathe, but the rest of our “air” is made up of water vapor, nitrogen, carbon dioxide, and other gases. The air is perfect for plants to grow. Earth temperature is not the same in all places, but the temperature is just right for plants, animals, and humans in most places on Earth.
    Like the other inner planets, Earth has volcanoes. Volcanoes on Earth are different from those on other planets, because they still erupt. Scientists think that there may be active volcanoes on other planets and moons in our solar system, but they are still studying this.
    Earth has one planet which we call the Moon. The surface of the Moon has many craters on it These were caused when meteorites hit it. It has many volcanoes on it which do not erupt anymore. We can see the moon at night without using a telescope. It is the closest space object to our planet ,Earth.
    68.Earth is called the Water Planet,______.
    A. because animals need water         B. the water makes it look blue from space
    C. it has liquid water on its surface      D. Earth is the third planet from the sun
    69. It takes Earth ______to orbit the sun in one year.
    A.24 hours                   B.24 days                     C.365 days                   D.360 days
    70. Life exists on Earth,______.
    A. because the water, air, and temperature are just right
    B. there is water vapor in clouds
    C. Earth is the planet closest to the sun
    D. earth has volcanoes
    71.The craters on the moon were caused by______.
    A. meteorites hitting its surface              B. active volcanoes
    C. volcanoes which do not erupt anymore      D. some reasons that are not mentioned

    C
    Scientists used to explore on the surface of the ocean. Now they are exploring below the surface, too. They want to know about ocean water and the plant and animal life deep in the ocean.
    In 1934 the scientist William Beebe dived 3,000 feet below the surface in a hollow steel ball. In 1935 August Piccard dived 10, 330 feet. In 1960 his son Jean dived to a depth of 35,800 feet.
    All these early dives were deep. But the divers could not stay down for very long. They had to come back up to the surface after a few seconds. Scientists needed to stay down longer to study life below the surface. Gradually they succeeded. Cousteau, a Frenchman, was able to keep men down to a depth of 36 feet for one month and to a depth of 90 feet for a week.
    Now scientists are developing even better equipment. With this new equipment, men can stay below the surface for days or even weeks. In 1962 Cousteau set up a research station 35 feet below the surface. Then in 1964 he set up another station on the ocean floor of the Red Sea. This was the first undersea station to operate without help from the surface.
    Many countries are now studying undersea living things. The former Soviet Union had an undersea laboratory in the Crimean Sea. The United States has a laboratory 50 feet down on the ocean floor off the Virgin Islands. In 1970 five men lived there for two weeks. Then a team of five women scientists stayed in the laboratory. Next came other teams of men. All were there to explore the ocean depths and to make plans for the use of its resources. Scientists hope to find enough mineral, vegetable, and animal wealth there to provide food for the entire world.
    64. In order to _____, scientists are exploring below the surface of the ocean.
    A. know about the ocean water deep in the ocean
    B. know about the plant and animal life deep in the ocean
    C. stay down longer to study life of the plant and animal below the surface
    D. both A and B
    65. Who set up the first undersea station?
    A. A Frenchman                         B. An American
    C. A Russian                              D. The passage made no mention
    66. Which of the following is true according to the passage?
    A. Nobody can stay below the surface of the ocean.
    B. The early divers could not stay below the surface of the ocean for very long.
    C. The purpose of setting up the undersea laboratories is to make plans for the use of the resources in the ocean.
    D. Up to now only five women scientists have stayed in the undersea laboratory.

    An important scientific report announced “irrefutable（不能反驳的） proof” that climate change is happening and it’s all our fault. How long has it been before people are against the global warming idea? But here’s a funny thing. Last year there was a very bad hurricane season in the Caribbean when, among other disasters, New Orleans was all but wiped off the map. We were wisely informed by the experts at the time that this was owing to global warming.
    I remember watching a BBC science programme and hearing a learned professor with a beard tell us, “The increased frequency and strength of hurricanes is what we shall have to learn to expect given global warming.”
    This year there have been far fewer hurricanes and those there have been were relatively mild. Why？Global warming again of course. Professor Bjorn Lomborg, author of The Skeptical Environmentalist, writes, “In the constant media reports of possible greenhouse related disasters, almost any event is now linked to climate change.” He adds, “We should not spend vast amounts of money to cut a tiny slice of the global temperature increase when this leads to a poor use of resources and when we could probably use these funds far more effectively in the developing world.” For saying this, Lomborg has had death threats.
    Other scientists who do not toe the global warming-is-happening-and-it’s-all-our-fault line have received the same. There are plenty of people who count against global warming. A world of senior climatologists and meteorologists wrote to the Times last year to complain that they couldn’t get their research findings published — because they disagreed to it. We have had a warm autumn. The experts,  fanatics（狂热者） all of them, put it down to global warming. If we have an extra cold winter, they will tell us it’s a result of global warming. If my big toe feels cold or hurts badly, it will be owing to global warming.
    52. The purpose of this passage may be to ____.
    A. support the idea of global warming  
    B. organize a debate about global warming
    C. speak out against the global warming idea
    D. encourage people to use money effectively
    53. What happened to New Orleans last year?
    A. It was badly destroyed.                          B. It disappeared in the world.
    C. It witnessed global warming.               D. It experienced several disasters.
    54. From the passage, we can infer that ____.
    A. people are taking too many efforts to stop global warming
    B. people have realized the side effect of development
    C. a different idea sometimes may cost one his life
    D. the majority usually stand for the correct opinion
    55. The main idea of the last paragraph may be ____.
    A. global warming may lead to toe’s catching cold in a sense
    B. the Times refuses to publish articles on global warming
    C. a warming autumn is not related to global warming at all
    D. it is certainly incorrect to owe everything to global warming
