When I went away to college,I chose to go to a large school in another state in an attempt to never again see those popular girls,the ones who drove quiet girls like me headlong into the arms of dusty books.

   Since I didn't know a soul at this university,I volunteered for a dub to make friends. That's how I ended up one winter evening standing outside the student union,waiting for the night's famous speaker to drive up. My assignment was to escort (護(hù)送）her to the auditorium where her fans eagerly waited to hear Maya Angelou,author of I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings.

   As showtime neared,Angelou's car pulled up. When its door opened,Angelou and a female friend exited,each wearing head-to-toe fur coats. I nervously guided the pair inside. Angelou was ready to sweep onstage,but first,there was her fur coat. I offered to babysit it backstage to make sure it was safe.

   “No,” she said. She looked out at the audience. “You need to get out there and live."

   So I found a front-row seat and heard,for the first time,a book come alive in an author's own voice. The audience clapped and cheered as they went along on the ride of this performance.

   I wish I could say that my life changed then. But out of college,I went deeper into my interior self,taking a job that required little human contact. A few years later,I became a newspaper editor,which required talking to "many people. For those times,I depended on index(索引) cards. But I reminded myself that Angelou hadn't used notes.

   Today,I'm in my 50s. I am speaking comfortably about what I really know to be true. I get out there now and live.

24. What kind of person did the author use to be?

   A. Brave. B. Kind.

   C. Careless. D. Shy.

25. Why did Angelou decline the author's offer to take care of her fur coat?

   A. She wouldn’t trust a stranger with it.

   B. She thought it was the duty of her assistant.

   C. She wanted the author to enjoy the performance.

   D. She thought it was safe enough to put it backstage.

26. Soon after graduating from college,the author.

   A. found a job as a newspaper editor

   B. kept shutting herself in her own world

   C. changed a lot under Angelou's influence

   D. felt more confident when speaking in public

27. What would be the best title for the text?

   A. Get out there and live

   B. The night I met Angelou

   C. Speak from your inner self

   D. My friendship with Angelou

24. D 25. C 26. B 27. A

(人際關(guān)系)

本文是記敘文。作者講述了一位作家所說的話和表演對自己的深遠(yuǎn)影響.

24. D.推理判斷題。根據(jù)第一段的neveragainsee those popular girls,the ones who drove quiet girls like me可推測，作者應(yīng)該是個(gè)比較靦腆的女 孩。倒數(shù)第二段的 I went deeper into my interior self也是提示。

25. C.推理判斷題。根據(jù)第四段Angetou所說的 話 You need to get out there antTlive 和下 _作者 在觀眾席坐;F來可知，Angelou希望作者把時(shí)間 用在該甩的地方，應(yīng)餐去看表演而不是看衣服。

26. B?細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第當(dāng)段fifl wish I could say that my life changed then. But out of college,I went deeper into my interior self,taking a job that required little human contact 可 知，作者剛畢業(yè)時(shí)，并未因Angelou的話而改變， 還是把自己封閉起來。

27. A.標(biāo)題歸納題。根據(jù)第四段Angelou所說的話 You need to get out there and live 和文章結(jié)尾 I get out there now and live 可知，A 項(xiàng)作標(biāo)題表 現(xiàn)出Angelou對本文作者的影響以及作者自身 的改變，非常貼切。

   Visualization is closely related to positive thinking. It is used by athletes,musicians,actors,speakers,and others to improve their performance in stressful situations. How does it work? Listen to long-distance runner Vicki Huber:

   Right before a big race,I'11 picture myself running,and I will try and put all of the other competitors in the race into my mind. Then I will try and imagine every possible situation I might find myself in ... behind someone,being pushed,different positions on the track,laps to go,and,of course,the final part. And I always picture myself winning the race,no matter what happens during the event.

   Of course,Huber doesn't win every race she runs,but research has shown that the kind of mental imaging she describes can significantly increase athletic performance. It has also shown that visualization can help speakers control their stage fright.

   The key to visualization is creating a vivid mental blueprint in which you see yourself succeeding in your speech. Picture yourself in your classroom rising to speak. See yourself at the lectern (放演講稿的講桌) ，self-assured,making eye contact(接觸) with your audience and delivering your introduction in a firm,clear voice. Feel your confidence growing as your listeners get more and more caught up in what you are saying. Imagine your sense of achievement as you conclude the speech knowing you have done your very best.

   As you create these images in your mind's eye,be realistic but stay focused on the positive aspects of your speech. Don't allow negative images to affect the positive ones. Acknowledge your nervousness,but picture yourself overcoming it to give an effective presentation. If one part of the speech always seems to give you trouble,visualize yourself getting through it without any problems. And be specific. The clearer your mental pictures,the more successful you are likely to be.

   As with your physical rehearsal(排練) of the speech,this kind of mental rehearsal should be repeated several times in the days before you speak. It doesn't guarantee that every speech will turn out exactly the way you imagine it — and it certainly is no replacement for thorough preparation. But it is a proven way to help control your nerves and to make a successful presentation.

28. Huber's visualization of her races.

   A. is detailed and thorough

   B. is used during the event

   C. is based on real pictures

   D. is created with other runners

29. The fourth paragraph is mainly developed .

   A. by space   B. by comparison

   C. by process   D. by importance

30. According to the text,if you run into difficulty when preparing a speech,you should .

   A. ignore the negative aspects

   B. do the mental imaging later

   C. imagine finishing it smoothly

   D. create clearer mental pictures

31. What do we learn about mental rehearsal?

   A. It usually produces the desired results.

   B. It may be a good way to calm you down.

   C. It is more important than physical rehearsal.

   D. It is a good chance to show your imagination.

   Many sports players have not only accomplished incredible(不可思議的) acts of athleticism,but also unbelievable acts of sportsmanship. There were some 41 examples in 2014,and T ve 42 two that inspired me.

   One example of sportsmanship took place in the Sochi Olympics. Russian Anton Gafarov was hobbing(蹣跚而行) along the track,far 43 the rest of the skiers. One of his skis was*broken. He had tried to 44 with the damaged equipment. Canadian ski coach Justin Wadsworth was the only one who had a(n)45 ski. Wadsworth didn't want Gafarov to finish slowly,hobbling across the line. He wanted him to finish with 46 .The Canadian skiers were already out of the race,giving Wadsworth two 47 : Leave Gafarov to hobble across the line on one ski,or give him the spare one. Wadsworth gave him the extra ski,48 Gafarov to get second place in the quarter-finals. 49,he came in sixth in the semi-finals. It was Wadsworth who helped Gafarov 50 his Olympic dream.

   The other example took place in the 2014 World Cup quarter-final match between Brazil and Colombia. The game had just ended. Brazil had won,2-1. Brazil was 51 on the sidelines,cheering and having a good time. Colombian midfielder James Rodriguez had just had his World Cup dream 52 despite scoring a record-breaking six goals in the competition. Brazilian defender David Luiz walked over to him,pointed at him,and 53 the crowd to acknowledge him. He then declared his 54 for a game well played and 55 him for his wonderful World Cup performance. It made both the crowd and Rodriguez 56.

   As an athlete,I know it's easy to get caught up in the 57 of a game. But I also know that 58 is just as important as winning and losing.

                            Out of the cold 

   There are no known cures for colds and the flu,so cold and flu prevention should be your goal. The most effective way of preventing the flu is to get the flu shot. 36 But there are other techniques you can employ as well. Here are some tips you can use to help prevent colds and the flu naturally:

   Put a box of tissues(紙巾) wherever people sit. Place tissue boxes strategically around the house,at work,and in the car. 37 Then anyone who has to cough or blow their nose can use them in a way least likely to spread bacteria.

   Leave the windows open in winter. Not all of them,but one or two in the rooms in which you spend the most time. 38 

   Add green tea and an apple to your morning break. Recent research by food nutritionists at Auckland University in New Zealand,found that eating food rich in (類黃酮) could lower the risk of adults catching a cold by as much as 33%.39 Eating five servings of vegetables and two servings of fruit each day in a variety of colours is a great way to make sure you get enough flavonoids in your diet.

   40 The knuckle(指關(guān)節(jié)) is less likely to have viruses than your fingertip. The eye provides a perfect entry point for bacteria,and the average person rubs his eyes or nose or scratches his face 20-50 times a day,making fingers particularly good at spreading bacteria.

   A. It works better than anything else.

   B. You need to make them widely available.

   C. Use your knuckle to gently rub your eyes.

   D. Fresh air does wonders for chasing out bacteria.

   E. Never come into direct contact with viruses and bacteria.

   F. They are found in green tea,apples,blueberries,red wine and cocoa.

   G. When you feel a cough coming,use a tissue,then throw it away immediately.
