In a hall, a lecturer was giving a lecture to his students on stress management. At the beginning of the speech,he 41 a glass of water and asked the audience, “How 42 do you think this glass of water is?”

       The students’ answers 43 from 20g to 500g.

       “Actually,it does not matter on the absolute 44 . But it depends on how 45 you hold it. If I hold it for a minute, it is OK. If I hold it for a(n) 46 , I will have an ache in my right arm. If I hold it for a day, you will have to 47  an ambulance. It is exactly the 48 weight, but the longer I hold it, the 49 it becomes.” Hearing these words,the whole audience became silent, lost in thought.

       After a moment, the lecturer continued, “ 50 we carry our burden all the time, 51 , we will not be able to carry on with the burden becoming increasingly heavier,  52 heavy for us to bear.

       “So, what you have to do is to 53 the glass, rest for a while 54 holding it up again.”

       As is shown in the story above, we have to put down the burden periodically, 55 we can be refreshed and are able to carry on.

       So before you 56 home from work tonight, put the burden of 57 down. Don’t carry it back 58 . You can pick it up tomorrow.

Ⅲ 阅读（共两节，满分40分）

第一节：阅读理解（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

A

In modern society there is a great deal of argument about competition. Some value it highly, believing that it is responsible for social progress and prosperity, others say that competition is bad; that it sets one person against another; that it leads to unfriendly relationship between people.

I have taught many children who held the belief that their self – worth relied (依赖) on how well they performed at tennis and other skills. For them, playing well and winning are often life – and – death affairs. In their single – minded pursuit (追求) of success, the development of many other human qualities is sadly forgotten.

However, while some seem to be lost in the desire to succeed, others take an opposite attitude. In a culture which values only the winner and pays no attention to the ordinary players, they strongly blame competition. Among  the most vocal are youngsters who have suffered under competitive pressures from their parents or society. Teaching these young people, I often observe in them a desire to fail. They seem to se ek failure by not trying to win or achieve success. By not trying, they always have an excuse: “I may have lost, but it doesn’t matter because I really didn’t try.” What is not usually admitted by themselves is the belief that if they had really tried and lost, that would mean a lot. Such a loss would be a measure of their worth. Clearly, this belief is the same as that of the true competitors who try to prove themselves. Both are based on the mistaken belief that one’s self – respect relies on how well one performs in comparison with others. Both are afraid of not being valued. Only as this basic and often troublesome fear begins to dissolve (缓解) can we discover a new meaning in competition.

41．What does this passage mainly talk about?

       A．Competition helps to set up self – respect.

       B．Opinions about competition are different among people.

       C．Competition is harmful to personal quality development.

       D．Failures are necessary experiences in competition

42．Why do some people favor competition according to the passage?

       A．It pushes society forward.       B．It builds up a sense of duty.

       C．It improves personal abilities. D．It encourages individual efforts.

43．The underlined phrase “the most vocal” in Paragraph 3 means           .

       A．those who try their best to win

       B．those who value competition most highly

       C．those who are against competition most strongly

       D．those who rely on others most for success

44．What is the similar belief of the true competitors and those with a desire to fail ?

       A．One’s worth lies in his performance compared with others.

       B．One’s success in competition needs great efforts.

       C．One’s achievement is determined by his particular skills.

       D．One’s success is based on how hard he has tried.

45．Which point of view may the author agree to?

       A．Every effort should be paid back.

       B．Competition should be encouraged.

       C．Winning should be a life – and – death matter.

       D．Fear of failure should be removed in competition.
