12.Five Ways to Build Self-Confidence
Walk Faster.
One of the easiest ways to tell how a person feels about herself is to examine her walk.People with confidence walk quickly.They have places to go,people to see,or important work to do.Even if you aren't in a hurry,you can increase your self-confidence by putting some energy in your step.(36)B.
(37)F
One of the best ways to build confidence is listening to an inspiring speech.Unluckily,chances to listen to a great speaker are few.You can fill this need by creating a personal speech.Write a 30~60-second speech that focuses on your strengths and goals then recite it aloud whenever you need a confidence push.
Sit in the Front Row.
In school,offices and some other public places people always sit at the back of the room,(38)G This is for lack of self-confidence.By deciding to sit in the front row,you can get over this meaningless fear and build your self-confidence.
Speak up.
During group discussions many people never express their opinions because they're afraid that people will judge them for their saying something stupid.(39)ABy making an effort to express your opinions at least once in every group discussion,you'll become a better public speaker,more confident in your own thoughts.
Work out
Along the same lines as personal appearance,physical fitness has huge effect on self-confidence.(40)DBy making your body fit and strong,you improve your physical appearance,refresh yourself,and learn something positive.(255words)

A.In fact most people are dealing with the same fear.
B.Walking 25% faster will make you look and feel more important.
C.In fact most people feel good after a walk.
D.If you're out of shape,you'll feel unattractive and less energetic.
E.Listen to an Inspiring Speech.
F.Create a Personal Speech.
G.Most people prefer that because they're afraid of being noticed.

分析 本文主要介紹了塑造自信心的方法.作者告訴我們你可以通過大聲說出來、創(chuàng)辦個人演講、走路更快些、坐前排等方式樹立自信心.

解答 36--40 BFGAD
36.B 考查上下文理解判斷能力.根據(jù)本段標(biāo)題"Walk Faster"可知,此段主要講述了"走得快"是可以建立自信的.通讀選項,選項中提及到walk的有B,C選項.文中"People with confidence walk quickly"提到要走得快,而不是單純地走.故選B.
37.F 考查上下文理解判斷能力. 本段講述的是演講對建立自信的影響.選項中提到演講的有E、F選項.從文中One of the best ways to build confidence is listening to an inspiring speech.Unluckily,chances to listen to a great speaker are few.You can fill this need by creating a personal speech可知,建立自信的最好方法雖然是聽一個演講,但是機(jī)會卻很少,所以作者建議自己可以創(chuàng)造一個演講.故選F.
38.G 考查上下文理解判斷能力.根據(jù)本段標(biāo)題Sit in the Front Row要坐在前排和下文This is for lack of self-confidence可知,此空應(yīng)該是寫不敢坐在前排的一些消極的想法.故選G.
39.A 考查上下文理解判斷能力.根據(jù)前文they're afraid that people will judge them for their saying something stupid可知,人們害怕其他人因為不會說話而批判自己.而選項中,A項也提到"are dealing with the same fear"處理這種恐懼.故選A.
40.D 考查上下文理解判斷能力.前文提到Along the same lines as personal appearance,physical fitness has huge effect on self-confidence可知,一個人的外表和身體素質(zhì)對自信也有影響,空白處也會提到身體素質(zhì)或者外形.out of shape意為"身體狀況不佳;變形,走樣".故選D.

點評 七選五題型看似簡單,實際上有時完全作對并不容易,需要方法和分析能力及足夠的耐力,有必要進(jìn)行專門練習(xí).首先,快速瀏覽一遍七個備選答案,先確定哪個選項適合放在文章的什么位置.其次,快速瀏覽文章,確定文章體裁,抓住文章結(jié)構(gòu),分析篇章結(jié)構(gòu),找出各段的主題句或主旨大意.其三,注意各選項中出現(xiàn)的句子銜接手段,尋找句中銜接標(biāo)志詞,七選五備選答案中有兩個多余的選項,會對文章中兩個空的選擇構(gòu)成干擾,這時要特別細(xì)致地比對相似選項.最后,用代入法,檢查答案是否合理,將所有選擇答案放回空白處,通讀全文,檢查文章內(nèi)容是否語義連貫合理、緊扣主題,語篇結(jié)構(gòu)是否通順連貫、具有一致性、合乎邏輯,寫作思路是否清晰明了,格式以及用語是否恰當(dāng)貼切,從而判斷選擇的答案是否正確.

2.News that Microsoft made a $44.6 billion bid to buy Yahoo resulted in heated discussions made by many Internet users.Here are some responses:
Diane Burke of Weeks bury,Kentucky
I think it would definitely be an interesting combination.Everyone recognizes the names Yahoo and Microsoft,but everyone also says,"Did you Google it?"Such a catchphrase (時髦話) is going to be hard to beat.
Shaun Carney of Laurelville,Ohio
I think the merger (合并) will provide more competitions for Google.I don't think the merger will allow Microsoft to develop faster than Google,though.I believe the increased competition this merger brings will force Google to stay on top of its game by offering more fresh and original Internet tools and expanding on the tools it already offers.
Toni Suarez of Hacienda Heights,California
I view the merger as a necessary element in preventing a monopolization (壟斷).Perhaps it would bring better high technology innovations to e-mail and help in researching and developing a better Internet!
Rick R.of Edgewater,F(xiàn)lorida
It sounds like a disaster to me.If this were to happen,I would stop using my Yahoo e-mail account because I don't like the feeling of Microsoft spying upon my business.I will sign up for Google.
Antonio Glosser of Kansas City,Missouri
Right now,Yahoo offers a lot of features and tools at no cost for all different levels of Internet users.Microsoft seeks nothing but profit.Undoubtedly,they'll do nothing other than find ways to start removing Yahoo's formerly non-priced features.Microsoft's greed will ruin the great thing that Yahoo currently is.

33.How many companies are mentioned in the passage?C
A.One.

20.Chinese consumers'crazy appetite for luxury goods and  services appears unstoppable,with just 2percent of the  Chinese population responsible for one-third of the world's  luxury items.
As  China's  economic  miracle  develops,the  market  opportunities for all sorts of luxury goods and services are  increasing.Luxury consumption in China now extends ways  beyond well-known car,clothing and jewelry brands.For  example,the luxury jet market in China is the fastest-growing  in the world,even  outstripping that of the United States,with a market share of 25percent.This trend appears to continue,with 20to 30percent growth expected in China,compared with only 2to 3percent in the US.But more importantly,China's luxury jet market growth represents a major development in the private consumption of luxury items.
China's high-quality red wine market also provides evidence of the growth in private consumption of luxury goods.In 2013,China became the largest market for red wine in the world,even overtaking France,with 1.86billion bottles consumed in China last year.Over the past five years,China's red wine consumption has grown 136percent.
According to my ongoing consumer research in this area while working at the University of International Business and Economics in Beijing,public consumption of such expensive global luxury brands such as Prada and Armani is easily explained by the desire to"gain face"and publicly display social climbing through material possessions.On the other hand,it is"self-reward"that lies behind consumer motivation in this area.Chinese consumers who have experienced rapid financial and economic gains appear particularly prone to the need to reward themselves for their success.But this has little to do with"gaining face"and impressing others and much more to do with the need for personal contentment.
Finally,the growth in private luxury consumption in China is set to continue in part due to the maturity of the Chinese consumer and advancement of Chinese consumer  culture generally.

28.What do you think the author would most probably be?C
A.A news reporter.
B.An accountant.
C.A professor.
D.A conductor.
29.The underlined word"outstripping"in Paragraph 2probably  means"C".
A.falling far behind of
B.going out of
C.going far ahead of
D.keeping pace with
30.What can we learn from Paragraph 2and 3?B
A.China's luxury jet market growth is only 2% to 3%.
B.France was once the largest market for red wine in the world before 2013.
C.The luxury jet market in the US shares 25% of the jet consumption in the world.
D.China's red wine consumption has increased to 1.86billion bottles since 2013.
31.What can be the best title for the passage?B
A.Future Private Luxury Consumption in China
B.Chinese Appetite for Luxury Goods and Services
C.The Potential Luxury Jet Market in China
D.The Maturity of the Chinese Consumers.

17.Personal money-management website Mint.com suggests recently that responsible parents should give their kids credit cards-possibly starting as young as middle school.The website says a credit card will help children master responsible spending habits and give parents the chance to teach them some valuable lessons.
It's absolutely true that kids should learn about how a credit card works and how to use it responsibly.But the idea that they need a card of their own to practise this is questionable.
Yes,credit cards are a teaching tool,but it's the time you spend educating them about money management that does the teaching,not the piece of plastic.Sit down with your child-here we are referring to teens and walk them through your credit card statements.Point out important things like the due date,late fee warning,and APR (年貸款利率).
If you have good credit,adding a child as an authorized user onto one of your credit cards also provides teachable moments.Allow kids to use the card to make specific purchases and require their participation in payment.
Since the card is still in your name,you can take them off it at any point and cut off their access if they're not able to handle the responsibility.
Another option is to set them up with an account at a local bank that offers free use of a debit card (借記卡).Unlike credit card,the debit card has no overdraft (透支) function.
Children can only use the card to pay for things and the money is taken directly from their bank account.If the account is empty,the worst that will happen is the card being declined at a cash register.
59.Why does Mint.com advise parents to give middle school kids credit cards?B
A.To teach their kids'how to save pocket money.
B.To strengthen the relationship with their kids.
C.To leave their kids financially independent.
D.To help their kids form good spending habits.
60.The author considers a credit card as a teaching tool becauseD.
A.it contains detailed financial information on the card surface
B.it offers parents the chance to teach kids to manage money
C.it motivates teens to ask their parents for less financial support
D.it helps teenagers to know some basic knowledge of credit cards
61.What is the purpose of adding kids as credit card authorized users?C
A.To teach them to be responsible credit card users.
B.To help them pay close attention to their bank account.
C.To avoid extremely high overdraft fees.
D.To encourage them to share household expenses.
62.What is most likely to be discussed in the paragraph that follows?A
A.More disadvantages of credit cards.
B.The kids'attitude towards a credit card.
C.Further information about the debit card.
D.The overdraft functions of a debit card.

1."Plants were expected to get larger with increased carbon dioxide in the atmosphere,but changes in temperature,humidity (濕度) and nutrient availability seem to have trumped the benefits of increased carbon dioxide,"said researchers from  the National University of Singapore
    45percent of the species studied now reach smaller adult sizes than they did in the past.The researchers pointed out that warmer temperatures and changing habitats,caused by climate change,are possible reasons for the shrinking of creatures.
"We do not yet know the exact mechanisms (機(jī)制) involved,or why some organisms are getting smaller while others are unaffected,"the researchers said."Until we understand more,we could be risking negative consequences that we can't yet quantify."
    The change was big in cold-blooded animals.Only two decades of warmer temperatures were enough to make creatures smaller.An increase of only 1℃caused nearly a 10percent increase in metabolism(新陳代謝).Greater use of energy resulted in tiny tortoises and little lizards.Fish are smaller now too.Though overfishing has played a part in reducing numbers,experiments show that warmer temperatures also stop fish growing.
    Warm-blooded animals weren't immune (兔疫) from the size change caused by climate change.Many birds are now smaller.Red deer are weaker.And polar bears are smaller,compared with historical records.
    This isn't the first time that has happened in Earth's history.55million years ago,a warming event similar to the current climate change caused bees,spiders and ants to shrink by 50t0 75percent over several thousand years.That event happened over a longer time than the current climate change.
    The speed of modern climate change could mean organisms may not respond or adapt quickly enough,especially those with long generation times.So,it is likely that more negative influences of climate change will be shown in the future.

67.What does the text mainly talk about?D
A.Why some species become smaller.
B.How climate changes in Earth's history.
C.Climate change has many negative effects.
D.Species are becoming smaller as climate gets warmer.
68.What does the underlined word"trumped"in paragraph l mean?A
A.beaten     B.gained      C.destroyed    D.lost
69.Researchers from the National University of Singapore believe thatB.
A.they have found the exact causes for creatures getting smaller
B.increase in energy use can lead to creatures getting smaller
C.climate change has more negative effects on warm-blooded animals
D.a(chǎn)ll the animals on the earth have become smaller

2.Are we getting more stupid?According to Gerald Crabtree,a scientist at Stanford University in the US,we are.
You may not want to hear this,but Crabtree believes that human intelligence reached its peak more than 2,000 years ago and ever since then has been going downhill."If an average Greek from 1,000 BC were transported to modern times,he or she would be one of the brightest among us,"Crabtree told The Guardian.
At the heart of Crabtree's thinking is a simple idea.In the past,intelligence was critical for survival when our ancestors had to avoid dangerous animals and hunt for food.The difference of being smart or stupid is often life or death.However,after the spread of agriculture,when our ancestors began to live in dense farming communities,the need to keep their intelligence in peak condition gradually reduced.
This is not hard to understand.Most of the time,pressure is what keeps us going-you need the pressure from your teachers to finish your homework; the pressure of looking pretty prompts(促使) you to lose weight when summer comes.And the same is also true of our intelligence-if we think less,we become less smart.
These mutations(變異) are harmful to our intelligence and they were all developed in the past 3,000 years.The other evidence that Crabtree holds is in our genes.He found that among the 2,000 to 5,000 genes that we have that determine human intelligence,there are two or more mutations in each of us.
However,Crabtree's theory has been criticized by some who say that early humans may have better hunting and surviving abilities,but people today have developed a more diverse intelligence.For example,spearing a tiger doesn't necessarily require more brainpower than playing chess or writing a poem.Moreover,the power of modern education means a lot more people have the opportunity to learn nowadays.
"You wouldn't get Stephen Hawking 2,000 years ago.He just wouldn't exist,"Thomas Hills of the University of Warwick,UK,told Live Science."But now we have people of his intellectual capacity doing things and making insights(洞察力) that we would never have achieved in our environment of evolutionary adaptation."
61.What is Crabtree's recent finding according to the article?D
A.The Greeks from 1,000 BC could have been the smartest in human history.
B.Our ancient ancestors had no better surviving abilities than we do nowadays.
C.Humans have been getting steadily more intelligent since the invention of farming.
D.Mutations in genes that decide human intelligence have affected the development of intelligence.
62.According to Crabtree,ancient humansB
A.had much more genes that determine human intelligence
B.were forced to be smart due to natural selection pressures
C.relied more on group intelligence than individual intelligence
D.developed a diverse intelligence to adapt to the hard realities
63.Some argue that Crabtree's theory is false because they thinkD.
A.people today are under much more pressure than early humans
B.it's ridiculous to compare a hunter's and a poet's intelligence
C.modern education is far more advanced than ancient education
D.human intelligence nowadays is different from that of the distant past
64.What is Thomas Hills'attitude toward Crabtree's theory?B
A.Supportive          B.Unfavorable           C.Worried            D.Confused.
