" she wrote after her site attracted huge attentio n. "Thank you so much for all your lovely messages to me." Alice, who lives with her family in the northwest English town of Ulverston, revealed (透露)the manager of Take That had arranged for her to see the band after reading her blog.

They a rgued that the only way to restore willpower was by rest, food or entertainment.But psychologists have challenged this theory, saying weak w illpower is all in your head. They found that people's beliefs in willpower determine how long and how well they'll be able to work on a tough mental exercise. “If you think of willpower as something that's limited, you're more likely to be tired when yo u perform a difficult task,” said Prof. Veronika Job. “But if you t hink of willpower as something that is not easily used up, you can go on and on.”The researchers designed four experiments to test students' b eliefs in willpower. After a tiring task, those, who believed or w ere led to believe that willpower is a limited resource, perform ed worse on standard concentration tests than those who tho ught of willpower as something they had more control over. T hey also found that leading up to final exam week, students w ho believed the limited resource theory ate junk food 24 perce nt more often than those who believed they had more control i n resisting temptation.Mr. Job said. “The theory that willpower is a limited resource i s interesting, but it has had unintended consequences. Students who may already have trouble studying are being told that their power of concentration is limited, and they need to take frequent breaks. But a belief in willpower as a non-limited resource makes people stronger in their ability to work through challenges.”The findingscould help people who are battling temptation. Willpower isn't driven by a biologically based process as much as we used t o think. The belief in it is what influences your behavior. 40．(本题2分)The theory that willpower is limited supports that _________ .A.people must eat snacks when they feel tiredB.people do need a break to restore their willpowerC.there’s no way to strengthen people’s willpowerD.weak willpower doesn’t affect people’s life much41．(本题2分)What have the scientists long believed regarding willpower ?A.It is in the charge of people.B.It is a limited resource.C.There is no way to restore willpower.D.It doesn’t easily run out.42．(本题2分)Which of the following best helps the students to prepare b etter for their exams?A.Push themselves even if they want to take a break.B.Don’t eat fast food while studying.C.Remind themselves willpower is not limited.D.Stay in a comfortable and quiet place.43．(本题2分)What’s the best title for the passage?A.A new theory about willpowerB.How to build strong willpowerC.The great influence of willpowerD.Willpower doesn’t last longLillian Hanson, a college student, expects to graduate in abou t two years. What makes Mrs Hanson different from her classmates is her age – 73 years. She has been st udying at college, a few courses at a time, for 27 years. When Lillian Hanson graduated from high school, she went to the bank to borrow money for further education. The banker gave her no encouragement. He didn’t think that a country girl should borrow money to go to college. He thought she shouldbe at home doing work in the house or around the farm. So Li llian Hanson went home and raised a family of nine children in stead of going to college.Mrs Hanson never forgot her dream of getting a higher educat ion. When her children grew up, she tried again.She finds it is the hardest part of going back to school at her a ge to be sitting in class for long periods of time.

Today it is estimated that some 260 million people speak it as a native language, mainly in the United Sta tes, Canada, Great Britain, Ireland, South Africa, Australia an d New Zealand. In addition to the standard varieties of English found in these areas, there are a great many regional and s ocial varieties of the language as well as various levels of usa ge that are employed both in its spoken and written forms.In fact, it is impossible to estimate the number of people in the world who have acquired an enough working knowledge of E nglish in addition to their own languages. The purpose for Eng lish learning and the situations in which such learning takes pl ace are so varied that it is difficult to explain and still more diffi cult to judge what forms an adequate working knowledge for e ach situation.The main reason for the widespread demand for English is its present-day importance as a world language. Besides serving the ind efinite needs of its native speakers, English is a language in w hich some of important works in science, technology, and oth er fields are being produced, and not always by native speake rs.

We a chieve it actively by direct experience, by testing and proving an idea, or by reasoning. We achieve knowledge passively by being told by someone else. Most of the learning that takes pl ace in the classroom and the kind that happens when we wat ch TV or read newspapers or magazines is passive. Condition ed as we are to passive learning, it’s not surprising that we de pend on it in our everyday communication with friends and co-workers.Unfortunately, passive learning has aserious problem. It makes us tend to accept what we are toldeven when it is little more than hearsay and rumor.Did you ever play the game Rumor? It begins when one perso n writes down a message but doesn’t show it to anyone. Then the person whispers it, word for word, to another person. Tha t person, in turn, whispers it to still another, and so on, throug h all the people playing the game. The last person writes dow n the message word for word as he or she hears it. Then the t wo written statements are compared. Typically, the original m essage has changed.That’s what happens in daily life. The simple fact that people r epeat a story in their own words changes the story. Then, too, most people listen imperfectly. And many enjoy adding their own creative touch to a story, trying to improve on it, stamping it with their personal style. Yet those who hear it think they kn ow.This process is also found among scholars and authors: A sta tement of opinion by one writer may be re-stated as a fact by another, who mat in turn be quoted by yet another; and this process my continue, unless it occurs to so meone to question the facts on which the original writer based his opinion or to challenge the interpretation he placed upon t hose facts.52．(本题2分)According to the passage, passive learning may occur in _ ________.A.doing a medical experimentB.solving a math problemC.visiting an exhibitionD.doing scientific reasoning 53．(本题2分)The underlined word “it” in paragraph 1 refer to _________.A.active learningB.knowledgemunicationD.passive learning54．(本题2分)The author mentions the game Rumor to show that ______ ___.A.a message may be changed when being passed onB.a message should be delivered in different waysC.people may have problems with their sense of hearingD.people tend not to believe in what they know as rumor 55．(本题2分)what can we infer from the passage?A.Active learning is less important.B.Passive learning may not be reliableC.Active learning occurs more frequently.D.Passive learning is not found among scholars.第II卷（非选择题）四、短文改错：56．Last week, I met a stranger who seemed to be losing.

Once I came out of the kitchen, complaining, “Mom, I can’t peel potatoes.I have only one hand.”Mom never looked up from sewing. “You get yourself into that kitchen and peel those potatoes,” she told me. “And don’t ever use that as an excuse for anything again!”In the second grade, our teacher lined up my class on the playground and had each of us race across the monkey bars, swinging from one high steel rod to the next. When it was my turn, I shook my head. Some kids behind me laughed, and I went home crying.That night I told Mom about it. She hugged me, and I saw her “we’ll see about that” look. The next afternoon, she took me back to school. At the deserted playground, Mom looked carefully at the bars.“Now, pull up with your right arm,” she advised. She stood by as I struggled to lift myself with my right hand until I could hold the bar with my other elbow （肘）. Day after day we practiced, and she praised me for every rung （横档）I reached. I’ll never forget the next time, crossing the rungs, I looked down at the kids who were standing with their mouths open.One night, after a dance at my new junior high, I lay in bed sobbing. I could hear Mom come into my room. “Mom,” I said, weeping, “none of the boys would dance with me.”For a long time, I didn’t hear anything. Then she said, “Oh, honey, someday you’ll be beating those boys off with a bat.” Her voice was faint. I peeked out from my covers to see tears running down her cheeks. Then I knew how much she suffered on my behalf. She had never let me see her tears.56. Which can be used to describe Mom’s attitude when she made the child peel pota toes?A. Cruel.B. Favorable.C.

But does Mother Nature agree? Animals can't talk, but can they lie in other ways? Can they lie with their bodies and behavior? Animal experts may not call it lying, but they do agree that many animals, from birds to chimpanzees, behave dishonestly to fool other animals. Why? Dishonesty often helps them survive.Many kinds of birds are very successful at fooling other animals. For example, a bird called the plover sometimes pretends to be hurt in order to protect its young. When a predator（猎食动物）gets close to its nest, the plover leads the predator away from the nest. How? It pretends to have a broken wing. The predator follows the "hurt" adult, leaving the baby birds safe in the nest.Another kind of bird, the scrub jay, buries its food so it always has something to eat. Scrub jays are also thieves. They watch where others bury their food and steal it. But clever scrub jays seem to know when a thief is watching them. So they go back later, unbury the food, and bury it again somewhere else.Birds called cuckoos have found a way to have babies without doing much work. How? They don't make nests. Instead, they get into other birds' nests secretly. Then they lay their eggs and fly away. When the baby birds come out, their adoptive parents feed them.Chimpanzees, or chimps, can also be sneaky. After a fight, the losing chimp will give its hand to the other. When the winning chimp puts out its hand, too, the chimps are friendly again. But an ani mal expert once saw a losing chimp take the winner's hand and start fighting again.Chimps are sneaky in other ways, too. When chimps find food that they love, such as bananas, it is natural for them to cry out. Then other chimps come running. But some clever chimps learn to cry very softly when they find food. That way, other chimps don't hear them, and they don't need to share their food.As children, many of us learn the saying "You can't fool Mother Nature." But maybe you can't trust her, either.60. A plover protects its young from a predator by______.A. getting closer to its youngB. driving away the adult predatorC. leaving its young in another nestD. pretending to be injured61. Which of the following is true according to the passage?A. Some chimps lower their cry to keep food away from others.B. The losing chimp won the fight by taking the winner's hand.C. Cuckoos fool their adoptive parents by making no nests.D. Some clever scrub jays often steal their food back.62. Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?A. Do animals lie?B. Does Mother Nature fool animals?C. How do animals learn to lie?D. How does honesty help animalssurvive?Section C (6%)Directions: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.Most of the people experience the natural feeling of jealousy at some point in their lives when it comes to romance. Some people feel it more strongly than others and some even suffer from the feeling to the extent that jealousy starts consuming them. In some cases the feeling is justified and in others it is not. Frankly speaking, jealousy is a poisonous emotion, both for the person experiencing it and for their partner.For the most part, jealousy is a byproduct of one’s own problems with self-confidence and self-esteem. It is also about a deep fear of the unknown and of change, fear of being abandoned and of losing power or control in a relationship, and also the fear that the needs will not be met. Jealous people feel often very insecure and anxious about their worthiness, feeling that they might not be good enough for the other partner. They may feel threatened by good looks of other people comparing them to their own selves and worrying that the other part might leave them at any time. Whatever the reason is that caused jealous emotions, whether justified or not, the feeling can become a huge factor in disconnection between couples.Being in a relationship with someone who is very jealous, is very hard as in many cases it turns out that along with the jealousy suddenly comes control. A jealous partner wants to control everything the other part does, where they go, and who they communicate with. Sometimes extreme jealousy can also lead to physical violence. Violence will be harder to control as the relationship progresses, so if it started reaching dangerously high levels, it would be the best to break up, or if that is not manageable at that point, then there is a need to seek for help as soon as possible.So, how is it possible to prevent these ugly thoughts from appearing and from flooding one’s mind at all? The best thing to start with is to start communicating your feelings with your partner. It is important to ask them why they have chosen especially you and also tell them openly that you love them. You may want to explain also that because they are so important to you, you are feeling jealous and insecure about the relationship. There is a great chance that your partner will reassure you of the fact that he/she is in a relationship with you because of feelings for you only and not someone better to come along.63.What does the author think of jealousy?_____________________________________________________________________________64.Jealousy most probably implies a person’s lack of __________________________________65.Extreme jealousy is dangerous because __________________________________________(Note：Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS.)第II卷（共25分）Ⅰ.Translation (15%)Section ADirections: Translate the following sentences into English, using the words given in the brackets.1.这张票能让你免费参观上海大剧院。
