    Are you afraid of change? Whether it is you personally or the working/living environment around you that changes, change will happen, it’s one guarantee I can give you and if you want success you need to make changes too.
    Throughout the history of mankind changes have happened and they will continue to do so until the end of time. I do not think I need give you a list of any of these events they are obvious to us all.
    Where are you going with this Steve, I hear you saying to yourself, everyone knows that changes happen all the time and we as human beings adapt accordingly. Well, yes, I agree with you to a point, but in that case why are we all not living the life we want in the world we want?
    Because some of us resist change, because we are afraid of the unknown factors that change may bring into our lives.
    Stop resisting and the changes will happen automatically, that is what happened to me when I started using hypnosis（睡眠状态） and mediation （沉思）to help me come to terms with the changes I needed to make to get out of Going Nowhere Land. I honestly believe that if I had not lost my fear of change when I did that there is absolutely no way that I would be enjoying life and the success I am having as much as I do at this moment in time.
    My intention is to carry on enjoying life to the full and to successfully help others to do the same and if that means making even more changes to my life, as it surely will, then bring them on and let’s get started.
    It does not matter if you start off making small changes like getting up early so that you can share breakfast with your loved ones, take some exercise or meditating before going to work, start making those changes now. By getting into the habit of making changes, you will accept change into your life, you will begin to change more of your old habits into new and better ones and even enjoy the feeling that making those changes brings and the success that comes with them.
    64. Which would be the best title for the passage?
    A. Are you afraid of change?        B. Changing for success.
    C. Why do you resist change.         D. Change brings happiness.
    65. The underlined phrase “come to terms with” in the fifth paragraph probably means “_______ “
    A. reach an agreement with            B. fight against
    C. accept something unpleasant         D. overcome the bad consequences of
    66. From the fifth paragraph we can infer that ___________.
    A. the author has never been afraid of changes in his life.
    B. the author used to believe that changes happened automatically
    C. the author is still not satisfied with his present situation
    D. the author had experienced a period of frustration(挫折) in his life
    67. In the last paragraph, the author intends to ________.
    A. list the necessary changes we ought to make
    B. advise us to make any necessary changes
    C. explain what changes can bring
    D. explain the progress of making changes

    You’re rushing to work and a man ahead of you collapses on the sidewalk. Do you stop to help? In a study of by-standers, it was found that some people avert their gaze and keep on  walking rather than stop and get involved.
    “There is a tendency to decide that no action is needed.” says a psychologist. “The first thoughts that pop into your mind often keep you from offering help. In order to take action, you have to work against them.” Here are some common thoughts that might prevent you from helping.
    ● Why should I be the one? I’m probably not the most competent person in this crowd. You might think someone older or with more medical knowledge should offer assistance.
    ● What if he doesn’t really need my help? The fear of embarrassment is powerful; no one wants to risk looking foolish in front of others.
    ● No one else looks concerned- this must not be a problem. We can follow the people around us, but most people tend to hold back their emotions in public.
    “If you spot trouble and find yourself explaining inaction, force yourself to stop and evaluate the situation instead of walking on,” says the psychologist. “Then retry to involve other people; you don’t have to take on the entire responsibility of being helpful. Sometimes it’s just a matter of turning to the person next to you and saying, ‘It looks like we should do something.’ Or asking someone if an ambulance has been called and, if not, to call for one. Once you take action, most people will follow you.”
    小题1:Which is NOT the common thought that stops you from helping others?
    A．I’m not the very person capable of setting the problenu.
    B．It looks like we should do something.
    C．It must not be a problem as no one else is concerned.
    D．He doesn’t really need my help.
    小题2:According to a study of by-standers, what will some people do when a man ahead falls down on the sidewalk?
    A．They will call for help and then walk away.
    B．They will stop and offer help.
    C．They will turn away their eyes and go on walking.
    D．They will laugh at him.
    小题3:We learn from the last paragraph that if we spot ttouble,           ．
    A．we sbould call the ambulance as soon as we can.
    B．we should take on the whole responsibility and do something alone.
    C．we should stop and evaluate the situation and try to make other people follow.
    D．we should turn to other people and ask them to take on the responsibility
    小题4:In order to offer others your timely help, you need to        ．
    A．ask others for help and call the police
    B．get along well with the passers-by who spot the trouble
    C．go directly to the police station
    D．work against the rirst thoughts that prevent you offering help
    小题5:The main purpose of the text is to tell readers        ．
    A．to give others a handB．to be more competent
    C．not to risk looking foolishD．to stop and evaluate the situation

    If you are afraid of the dark，it’s not a big deal．It’s perfectly normal to feel afraid After all，animals do too. “Fear matters，”says Karen Warkentin，an ecologist．“It’s a good thing，” she adds, “because fear makes you do things that keep you alive.”
    Like kids，many animals experience fear and they respond to the feeling in variety of ways．A
    frightened turtle pulls its head and legs inside its shell．A small fish will swim away when a big，hungry fish approaches．
    Some animals respond to fear in ways you might not expect．The first example is that the fear of being eaten can scare some frogs right out of their eggs. Warkentin made the surprising discovery while studying red—eyed tree frogs in Costa Rica.
    In this species，female frogs attach jellylike clumps（果冻一样的块状物）of their eggs to the undersides of leaves．The leaves hang on branches that dangle（悬挂）over ponds．After they hatch from the eggs，the tadpoles（蝌蚪）then fall into the water，where they eventually grow into
    adult frogs.
    Tree frog eggs usually grow for 6 days before hatching．If they sense that a hungry snake is about to attack，however，they can hatch up to 2 days ahead of schedule. As the snakes are unable to swim，by falling into the water early，the tadpoles can escape.
    If hatching early helps protect red—eyed tree frogs from snakes，you might wonder why their eggs don’t always hatch sooner．It turns out that hatching early brings its own danger．Once tadpoles land in the water，hungry fish and other animals like to eat them too．Staying in their eggs for a full 6 days，then，allows frog embryos（胚胎）to grow big and strong．This extra growth improves their chances of surviving in the water．
    68．It can be inferred from the passage that fears______
    A．help animals grow bigger and stronger
    B．are less common among young animals
    C．help animals move a lot to fit the environment
    D．are more or less important in order for animals to survive
    69．We are told in the passage that tree frogs______
    A．face danger both inside their eggs and in the water
    B．will grow fast if they fall into the water later
    C．are surprisingly clever when inside their eggs
    D．stay in their eggs longer if they are frightened
    70．What do you think would be discussed in the following paragraph?
    A．Further explanations as to why tree frogs hatch ahead of schedule．
    B．How the unborn frogs know when a snake is about to attack them．
    C．Another example of animals that responds to fear in an unexpected way．
    D．How tree frogs improve their chances of survival before falling into the water.

    Endless sea, sand and sunshine on a tiny island--everyone' s idea of heaven. Who wouldn' t want to live in such a place.?
    One person who certainly does is Ben Southall, from the UK. The 34-year-old was one of more　than 34,000 people who applied for the post of "caretaker" on Hamilton Island, Australia, which　the local government called "the best job in the world". The position starts in July and runs for six months. The salary is 150,000 Australian dollars(780,639 yuan).
    Why Southall? Well, first let's take a look at the criteria(标准) for the job: "We're looking for applicants who like to have adventures, have a great love of the outdoors and have good commu-nication skills. "
    On his application video, Southall expressed a love of adventure and included photographs of himself riding an ostrich(鸵鸟 ), running a marathon, diving, and kissing a giraffe. "From the time he was announced in the Top 50, and then the Top 16, Southall did a great job by showing true ex-citement about Queensland," Tourism Minister Peter Lawlor said in a statement.
    "His ideas for how he will make the role his own.., as well as his ability to rise to a challenge impressed the judges and helped him to win his place in the top job," Lawlor said.
    Southall was born in Coventry, UK and used his parents' home as a base for his adventures. He had an old Land Rover that he used for a charity-fund-raising trek(跋涉) across Africa which in-volved joining in five marathons( a 42.16 km race) and climbing five mountains.
    "It was sometimes hard work to make him get his head down and do his work because he always wanted to be outside," his mother said about his early years.
    "He wanted to go surfing in South Africa, so he got a job house-sitting to pay for it. We regu-larly ask him when he is going to get a proper job, but he is confident and has a strong set of friends and is a great social animal. Now he has got the perfect job for his skills," said his father.
    So, you see? No matter what type of person you are, there's always the possibility of getting a dream job. How' s that? Just read the job descriptions carefully and think about how your skills and qualities fit with the ones needed for the job. That' s what Southall did to get his job.
    41. The post of "caretaker" on Hamilton Island is said-to be the best job in the world mainly because of_____
    A. a beautiful landscape                          B. a short working time
    C. great pay for a fun job                          D. very good weather
    42. According to Lawlor, what wasn' t the reason that helped Southall win the job?
    A. His outstanding application video
    B. His passion for the job and ability to face up to challenges
    C. His great love of adventures
    D. His true excitement about the Austrilian lifestyle
    43. Which of the following statements about Southall is true?
    A. He did a poor job in school when he was young.
    B. He worked as a house-sitter to raise charity funds.
    C. He has won five marathons.
    D. He is good at communicating with others.
    44. We can leam from Southall that_____
    A. the world offers opportunities for everyone    
    B. setbacks will only make you stronger
    C. all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy  
    D. where there is a will, there is a way

    第二部分阅读理解:（共两节, 满分50分）
    Ⅲ. 第一节（共20小题; 每小题2分, 满分40分）阅读下列短文, 从每题后面所给的选项
    （A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卷上将该项涂黑。
    A
    We may encounter various setbacks (挫折) in our life and these setbacks  may never repeat themselves. They appear differently in different periods of life.
    Students may have problems in learning, for example, the goal and motivation of learning, the method and attitude of study, and their school performances as well. If they fail to deal with these matters properly, they may have problems in study and even develop psychological problems.
    Job-hunting, career choosing, capability and unemployment are matters often leading to
    psychological problems of the contemporaries (当代人). How to choose a career, how to make a plan for life and how to keep competence in position and for promotion, etc., these are all factors to bring us worries and anxieties.
    Interpersonal relationship leads to one of the major psychological setbacks of the human being. The symptoms show that it is hard to get along with others, lacking necessary skills to communicate with others. These may lead to sad feelings of loneliness, bitterness, short of concerns and cares.
    The old often suffer from supersession of the old by the new, stepping down from leading positions, retirement, being isolated and helpless. How to look at these rules of law in life, get used to the change, handle domestic emptiness when children grow up and the bitterness facing death of the beloved, all these have to be dealt with properly, to avoid the development of depression and disease.
    Now, it comes to the key — how to handle them. 
    Keeping a good mood:
    Do not make your ambitions too high and never seek for perfection when doing things.
    Do not expect too much from others. Otherwise, you will be disappointed if she/he fails to meet your expectation.
    When angry, you’d better calm yourself so as to avoid doing something stupid.
    Be tolerating and forgiving. Toleration and forgiveness can either smooth your own mood or benefit interpersonal relationship.
    When you encounter setbacks you’d better leave it alone and begin to do something you like, for example, go to the theater or take exercise, etc.
    You may ease yourself by telling your unhappiness to your good friends, parents, teachers or even making a telephone call to psychological hotlines.
    Do something good for others. In this way, you will not only forget your worries but also find your own value and at the same time make friends with others.
    To evaluate your ability and role properly, thus you will not develop unnecessary psychological pressure on yourself.
    41. The writer is mainly trying to tell us _______.
    A. who knows about setbacks           B. how to deal with setbacks 
    C. when we have setbacks               D. what causes various setbacks
    42. Setbacks may result from the following EXCEPT _______.
    A. learning problems at school            B. weak competence in career
    C. poor skills in communication         D. the rules of law in life
    43. Guess the right meaning of the underlined word “supersession”.
    A. depression                                 B. replacement
    C. loneliness                                  D. emptiness
    44. From the “key” given by the writer, we can infer that _______.
    A. anger can be turned into useful power
    B. those without ambitions are the happiest
    C. psychological problems can be solved by yourself
    D. doing something good for others adds to your worries

    Recently I paid a visit to Harvard University, where there are top class scientists and professors and the best academic system in the world.
    I was pretty shocked when I first stepped onto the campus. Well, it's not even really a campus. It's more like a district in a small town.
    Harvard's main buildings are from the 18th century. They look very old and simple. You might even say they're a little shabby. They don't fit the modern idea of university at all. The buildings are surrounded by grass and trees, so I felt as if I had walked into a medieval castle. But when I looked across the street, busy shops and in-fashion students made me feel like I was in the 21st century again. It creates a strong contrast and brings a special atmosphere to the school.
    Our tour guide Gary took us around and told us: "You see this grass field in the center of the school? Here is where they host their graduation ceremony. They just set up tents and benches and have a very simple ceremony. Unbelievable! Who would think the most talented students just graduate on the lawn?
    I saw some students put a blanket on the grass and lie down to read a book. When I listened to the soft sound of pages turning, along with chirping of the birds, I felt very calm. There was no competitive feeling at all.
    Harvard has the world's first computer in its science center and there are hundreds of high-end computers too. Its religion and the literature departments are also among the best. It is the perfect mix of tradition and new technology. It makes Harvard a very attractive place to study in.
    I hope one day I'll attend my dream school—Harvard.
    45．The article is mainly about        . 
    A．the author's campus life in Harvard     B．the author's impression of Harvard
    C．Harvard's old buildings                              D．the academic system at Harvard
    46．The author was most impressed by        , according to the article. 
    A．Harvard's mix of tradition and new technology
    B．the classes held on beautiful lawns at Harvard
    C．Harvard students not taking their graduation ceremony seriously
    D．the feeling of not living in modern society on the campus
    47．What can we conclude from the article? 
    A．Harvard campus is actually a district of a big city.
    B．There are no competitions at Harvard University.
    C．Graduation ceremonies are not complex at Harvard.
    D．All Harvard buildings date back to the 18th century.
    48．According to the article, in which fields is Harvard top in the world? 
    A．Literature, arts, and law.              B．Religion, law and arts.
    C．Literature, arts and computer science.   D．Religion, computer science and literature.

    Have you seen big dogs in stores or restaurants and wondered why they were there? Those dogs might have been guide dogs.
    People who are blind sometimes use guide dogs called seeing-eyes dogs. These special dogs help people get around. They help them do everyday things. Some people who have hearing problems have hearing-ear dogs. These dogs tell their owners when an alarm clock goes off or when the doorbell rings.
    Guide dogs learn to wear something on their backs called a harness. Their owner holds onto it. The dogs learn what words such as “left” and “right” mean. They learn to never take their owner into traffic.
    Each guide dog trains for months. Then, it spends one month working with its future owner. At that time ,the owner and dog get to know one another and train together!
    Because guide dogs are trained, they are welcome almost anywhere. So, the next time you are out, don’t be surprised if you see a dog. It might just be a guide dog!
    46. ______ use guide dogs.
    A. People who want dogs to play with     B. Babies
