第一节阅读表达

阅读下面短文并回答问题，然后将答案写到答题卡相应的位置上（请注意问题后的词数要求）。

[1]It′s wrong that intelligent people are better at learning languages．Most language learning skills，however，are in fact habim．Here are the most common mistakes language   learners make——and how to correct them．

[2]Not listening enough

Just as babies learn to produce language by heating and parroting sounds，language     learners need to practise listening．The solution? Find music，podcasta，TV shows and movies in the target language，and listen，listen，listen, as often as possible．

[3]Lack of curiosity

In language learning，attitude can be a key factor in how a student progresses．A learner  who is curious about the target culture will be more successful in their language studies．

[4]Rigid thinking

Some students tend to struggle with language learning because it involves a lot of  uncertainty—students will meet new vocabulary daily，and for each grammar rule there will be   an exception．Until native—like fluency is achieved，there will always be some level of    uncertainty．Find a passage in the language and practice figuring out the main idea，even if a    few words are unknown．

[5]A single method

Some learners are most comfortable with the listen-and-repeat drills of a language lab．Some need a grammar textbook to make sense of a foreign tongue．Each of these approaches is fine，but it′s a mistake to_____________________．

[6］Fear to speak

Despite years of studying the language，students simply will not speak it．They′re too afraid of the clumsy grammar or mispronouncing words in a way that would embarrass them．The key is that those mistakes help language learners．The more learners speak，the more quickly they improve．

76．What might be the best way to deal with not listening enough？（no more than 5 words）

________________________________________________________________________

77．How do we overcome rigid thinking in passage reading？（no more than 6 words）

I′m not so sure I like my friends any more．I used to like them—to be honest．We′d have lunch, talk on the phone or exchange e—mails，and they all seemed normal enough．But then came Facebook．and I was introduced to a sad fact：many of my friends have dark sides that they had kept from me．

Today my friends show off the more unpleasant aspects of their personalities via Facebook．No longer hidden，they′re thrown in my face like TV commercials—unavoidable and endless advertisements for the worst of their personalities．

Take Fred．If you were to have lunch with him，you’d find him warm, and down-to-earth．Read his Facebook and you realize he′s an unbearable，food．obsessed bore．He′d pause to have a cup of coffee on his way to save a drowning man—and then write about it．

Take Andy．You won′t find a smarter CEO anywhere, but now he′s a CEO without a company to lull．So he plays Mafia Wars on Facebook．He′s doing well—level 731．Thanks to Facebook，I know he’s playing about 18 hours a day．Andy．you′ve run four companies—and this is how you spend your downtime? What happened to golf? What happened to getting another job?

Take Liz．She is positive that the H1N1 vaccine（疫苗）will kill us all and that we should avoid it．And then comes Chris who likes to post at least 20 times a day on every website he can find，so I get to read his thoughts twice, once on Faeebook and once on Twitter．

In real life，I don′t see these sides of people．Face to face．my friends show me their best．They′re nice，smart people．But face to Facebook，my friends are like a blind date which goes horribly wrong．

I′m left with a dilemma．Who is my real friend? Is it the Liz I have lunch with or the anti．vaccine lunatic（狂人）on Facebook? Is it the Fred I can grab a sandwich with or the Fred who weeps if he′S at a party and the wine isn′t up to his standards?

71．Who is opposed to the H1N1 vaccine in the text?

       A．Fred．                 B．Andy．                C．Liz．                  D．Chris．

72．What′S Andy probably busy in doing now?

       A．He′s running his company．                      B．He′s playing golf all day．

       C．He′s looking for another job．                      D．He′s playing computer games．

73．According to the text，Facebook tends to_________________．

       A．present another side of people                   B．offer some fbods for free

       C．show endless advertisements                       D．get you to more parties

74．The text is developed mainly by__________________．

       A．giving examples                                       B．following the time order

       C．1isting figures         D．raising questions

75．The author focuses on the question of______________．

       A．what is Faeebook                                     B．what happened to golf

       C．who is my real friend                                 D．who can help me

Apart from psychological illness, we are all largely responsible for our own emotional health．What we say to ourselves over and over for days, weeks, months, and sometimes years, has a great effect on how we see ourselves．This also contributes to many mental health disorders．

Many of us have problems with negative（消极的）thoughts playing on the channel of our minds, bust if you′re buried in it and believe it, it could be wearing your sense of self-esteem（自尊）．Here are a few beliefs that indicate you may need to switch the channel: I′m not good enough？/I don′t deserve…？/No one likes me？/I′m a failure．

Negative thoughts remind you of your bad feelings and they bring your focus on your failures, and that gets you nowhere．

What can you do？Here are some suggestions：

Switch the channel when negative thoughts appear．Self-talk（自我暗示）is not so obvious that we often don′t notice its effect on our mood and belief systems．Key things to notice are“if only”or“what if”statements：the former keeps you stuck in the past with regret, while the latter keeps you fearful of the future．There is nothing you can do about the past, and the future isn′t here yet，so stay in the present moment．

Recognize that actions always follow beliefs．You′ll find yourself behaving in ways that are consistent to your beliefs．So，start believing the best about yourself：act as if you believe that you′re a valuable and worthy person．

Develop positive self-talk rather than negative self-talk．Instead of always looking down upon yourself in your head，think of some things you actually like about yourself．What are your strengths? What are you good at? Instead of saying “I′ m a loser”，try saying，“I am capable．／I′m good at…／I accept myself the way I am．”

Thinking poorly about ourselves gets us nowhere and is extremely self-limiting．Decide today to turn off the negative self-talk channel in your mind and develop your true potential．

66．From the first two paragraphs we learn that____________________．

       A．lots of people have no sense of self-esteem

       B．focusing on negative thoughts can lead to failure

       C．negative thoughts will strengthen our sense of self-esteem

       D．few people have negative thoughts and mental problems

67．The underlined word“wearing”in Paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to_________________．

68．What do the suggestions in the text tell us?

       A．Our beliefs always come after actions．

       B．Positive self-talk does good to our mental health．

       C．Looking down upon ourselves is a sign of modesty．

       D．“What if”keeps you stuck in the past with regret．

69．The text encourages us to___________________．

       A．get rid of negative thoughts                       B．get anywhere we like

       C．think highly of others                           D．turn off self-talk TV channel

More than 700 business leaders, government officials and investors gathered in Mountain View, California in December,2012 to attend the Social Innovation（创新）Summit．It is an invitation-only conference aimed at finding new ways to deal with old problems．

Traffic jam is a problem that Bruggemann hopes to solve．“Traffic is really bad in most countries and we thought there must be some way of doing something about it．”Last week, his team, winning the prize for its“nunav”traffic management system, received a Microsoft Imagine Cup Grant of ＄100，000．“Everyone that′s using our system sends his present position as well as the destination to our servers every 30 seconds．And with that information our central system can reroute（调整路线）all of the cars in a way that everyone gets his individual best possible route．”

Bruggemann says early research with the system has been promising．“We found out that it could be possible to save up to 20 percent of the fuel consumption．Even more interesting, it can save up to 50 percent of the time you spend in traffic so you could get to your destination twice as fast．”

Team Cypher256 from Uganda also was invited to the Social Innovation Summit．They developed a device（仪器），called WinSenga, aimed at improving health care for pregnant women in Africa．It measures the early baby′s heart sounds to help test the heart rate, age and position of the baby in the mother．The device is similar in operation to an ultrasound（超声波）test, but is far less costly and very practical in Africa．

This is the third year for the Social Innovation Summit．The event is held twice a year, once in New York and once in California．The first one in 2012 was held in May． The United Nations′Office for Partnerships helped to organize the event．

61．In what way is the“nunav”system special？

       B．Common people in Africa can afford to use WinSenga．

       C．The United Nations offered financial help to the“nunav”system．

       D．The Social Innovation Summit has been held three times so far．

       C．To tell us the importance of social innovations．

       D．To introduce a conference about social innovations．

The 30 miles of steep roads that snake through the mountains of Logan Canyon in Utah are enough to make most drivers′hands sweat．But Andersen, a 46-year-old father of four, wasn′t expecting any trouble on the road last New Year′s Eve, when he set off for a ski trip to the Bear River Mountains with nine-year-old daughter Mia, four-old son Baylor, and nine-year-old neighbor Kenya．Andersen had driven through the Canyon hundreds of times over the years．

The weather was fine-but the higher they drove, the more slippery the roads became．Rounding a sharp U-turn at mile marker473, Andersen saw a truck that had skated off the road and immediately tapped his brakes．In an instant, the car was sliding at 25 miles per hour toward the shoulder of the highway, then rolling down a steep ten-foot dam toward the extremely cold Logan River．As it hit the water, the car tipped toward the passenger side, hesitated, and then rolled onto its roof and sank into the river．

There was no time to tell the kids what to do．The crash had broken a few windows, and within seconds, the upside-down car was filled with water． “It was frightening how fast we were completely underwater,”remembers Andersen, a soft-spoken product development manager．“You′re thinking, is this how it′s all going to end？”

Having lost all sense of direction, Andersen began to search the freezing water for the kids．Mia had been right next to him in the front seat; now, in the blackness, he couldn′t find her．“I thought, if I don′t get out, maybe none of us are going to get out．” Andersen got out of his seat belt, swam through a broken window, and, deeply and quickly, breathed air at the surface．That′s when he saw a group of men, about ten in all, appear at the top of the dam．One after another, they raced down into the water．Helping onto safety all the three children, they began to shout at the father,“Who else is in the car？”Andersen says respectfully,“It was like the sight of angels （天使）．”

56．What might be the main reason．For the car accident？

　　　 A．The sharp U-turn．　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 B．The steep dam．

　　　 C．The sudden brake．　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 D．A truck hitting the car．
