9.When it comes to success in business and success in life,there are few qualities as important as confidence.
People naturally have different levels of confidence.Some have a higher level of confidence than others do,but even those whose confidence is lacking can leam to build their level of confidence and reach their most important goals.Increasing self confidence is one of the most common reasons people give for seeking the help of psychologists and other professionals.
One of the many places where a greater level of confidence is useful is in the workplace. We all know how difficult it can be,for instance,to ask the boss for a raise.This process can be extremely difficult for those who lack confidence in their own abilities.After all,if you are unsure about your own abilities,how will you ever convince your boss that you deserve more money for the work you do?
Even if you are not asking for that big raise,having plenty of confidence in your abilities is important to success.If you are certain of your abilities,chances are that those around you,whether they are your coworkers,your colleagues or your superiors,will see that confidence,and that will help to assure them that you are the best at what you do.
Being thought of as the person to go to,and being seen as an expert in your chosen field,is naturally very important to success on the job.If you can make yourself the person people go to for guidance and advice,you will help to protect yourself from the ever present danger of downsizing.After all,if you are a recognized expert at the office,you will be regarded as an indispensable member of the team.
Having a high level of confidence,after all,does not mean overlooking the places where you could improve.Knowing what you do well and where you need help will help you enjoy increased success and confidence.
63.What is the passage mainly about?B
A.The influence of confidence on one's life.
B.The importance of confidence to success.
C.The difference of people's confidence.
D.The judgment on one's confidence.
64.Psychologists and other professionals can offer help to thoseA
A.who think their goals are hard to reach
B.who expect to give guidance to others
C.who want to ask the boss for a raise
D.who dream to be recognized experts
65.What does the underlined word"indispensable"in Paragraph 5 probably mean?A
A.important                       
B.a(chǎn)ttractive          
C.outgoing          
D.energetic
66.What message does the author want to convey in the last paragraph?D
A.To overlook one's disadvantages.
B.To make full use of one's advantages.
C.To have great confidence in one's abilities.
D.To make objective evaluations of one's abilities.

分析 當說到在事業(yè)和生活上的成功時,很少有和自信一樣重要的品質(zhì).本文主要講述了在各個方面自信的重要性.

解答 63.B 主旨大意題.根據(jù)第一段的Whenit comes to success in business and success in life,there are few qualities as important asconfidence.當說到在事業(yè)和生活上的成功時,很少有和自信一樣重要的品質(zhì).可知自信對成功的重要性,故B正確.
64.A 細節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)第二段的Increasingself confidence is one of the most common reasons people give for seeking thehelp of psychologists and other professionals.人們向心理學家和專家求助,說明他們能提供幫助,可知心理學家和專家可以給缺乏自信的人建議.故A正確.
65.A 詞義猜測題.根據(jù)前面的句子if you are a recognized expert at theoffice,可知如果你被認為是辦公室的專家,你就會被認為是團隊里面重要的人.Indispensable和important意思相近,故選A.
66.D 推理判斷題.根據(jù)本段最后一句Knowingwhat you do well and where you need help will help you enjoy increased successand confidence.可知我們要對自己有客觀的評價,要了解自己的優(yōu)缺點.所以我們要對自己的能力做出客觀的評價,故D正確.

點評 本文是社會文化類閱讀,主要考查細節(jié)理解題和推理判斷題.在做細節(jié)理解題時,首先根據(jù)題目要求迅速在文章里找出相應的段落、句子或短語.認真比較選項和文中細節(jié)的區(qū)別,在做推理判斷題時不要以個人的主觀想象代替文章的事實,要根據(jù)文章事實進行合乎邏輯的推理判斷.

17.When you do some minor image editing(修正) on your computer screen,you may make some mistakes,so from time to time you'd click undo(撤消).
There are things in life we cannot undo as easily and completely as we would with our computer files.A wrong turn,a hurtful word said to a loved one,a bad move-these we all commit as we walk our life's journeys,no matter how careful we are in our steps.Once committed,we can no longer undo many of these mistakes,especially because unlike with our computer documents,each thing we do and say has vast impact as they involve not just us-the file that we are working on-but also others,the unopened files and computer programs in our system.
So I guess our life's mistakes are not like our pencil scrawls that can be effectively corrected with an eraser,or errors on our computer works that can be undone with an undo button.But there are effective and reliable tools we can use-APOLOGY and FORGIVENESS.Simply click the APOLOGY button when you have committed a mistake that has hurt a loved one and the words"I'm sorry"will flash on the other person's screen.But,you have to be truly sorry and you must be prepared not to commit the same mistake again for your APOLOGY to work.Sincerity is definitely a necessary part.
When someone clicks the APOLOGY button and the words"I'm sorry"flash on your screen,all you have to do is to click back the FORGIVENESS button.It means that you have wholeheartedly accepted the other person's APOLOGY.But not only that.You also have to click it when someone has sent you back the message"It's okay.Forget about it."on your request of APOLOGY.It means that you are also forgiving yourself for your mistake; that you won't keep feeling so bad having committed it.
And lastly,don't forget to keep clicking the SAVE button.Going through the whole process of editing-of doing and undoing,of apologizing and forgiving-is useless if you fail to save the LESSON for future use.Let the saved file be a reminder of the healing process you once went through to make yourself better; for you not to forget the lesson; and for others to access and learn from.

41.Which of the following is TRUE?A
A.However careful we are,we still make mistakes in life.
B.Things we do and say can affect computer programs in our system.
C.We can undo life's mistakes if we are careful enough.
D.An eraser is an effective tool for our computer works.
42.The APOLOGY button should be clicked whenC.
A.one wants to make the computer work perfectly
B.one's mistakes won't influence others any more
C.one is actually saying"I'm sorry"
D.one won't make the same mistake again
43.What does the underlined word"it"in Paragraph 4refer to?D
A.The UNDO button.
B.The APOLOGY button.
C.The SAVE button.
D.The FORGIVENESS button.
44.We need to click the SAVE button in life becauseB.
A.we want to go through the whole process of editing
B.we need to learn a lesson from the past mistakes
C.we want to make the healing process faster
D.we need to use the computer properly
45.What is the best title for the passage?A
A.Editing Mistakes in Life
B.Learning to Apologize
C.Learning to Forgive
D.Computer and Life.

4.You're rushing to work and a man ahead of you collapses on the sidewalk.Do you stop to help?In a study of by-standers,it was found that some people avert their gaze and keep on  walking rather than stop and get involved.
"There is a tendency to decide that no action is needed."says a psychologist."The first thoughts that pop into your mind often keep you from offering help.In order to take action,you have to work against them."Here are some common thoughts that might prevent you from helping.
●Why should I be the one?I'm probably not the most competent(有能力的) person in this crowd.You might think someone older or with more medical knowledge should offer assistance.
●What if he doesn't really need my help?The fear of embarrassment is powerful; no one wants to risk looking foolish in front of others.
●No one else looks concerned-this must not be a problem.We can follow the people around us,but most people tend to hold back their emotions in public.
"If you spot trouble and find yourself explaining inaction,force yourself to stop and evaluate the situation instead of walking on,"says the psychologist."Then retry to involve other people; you don't have to take on the entire responsibility of being helpful.Sometimes it's just a matter of turning to the person next to you and saying,‘It looks like we should do something.'Or asking someone if an ambulance has been called and,if not,to call for one.Once you take action,most people will follow you."

56.Which is NOT the common thought that stops you from helping others?B
A.I'm not the very person capable of setting the problem.
B.It looks like we should do something.
C.It must not be a problem as no one else is concerned.
D.He doesn't really need my help.
57.According to a study of by-standers,what will some people do when a man ahead falls down on the sidewalk?C
A.They will call for help and then walk away.
B.They will stop and offer help.
C.They will turn away their eyes and go on walking.
D.They will laugh at him.
58.We learn from the last paragraph that if we spot trouble,C.
A.we should call the ambulance as soon as we can.
B.we should take on the whole responsibility and do something alone.
C.we should stop and evaluate the situation and try to make other people follow.
D.we should turn to other people and ask them to take on the responsibility
59.In order to offer others your timely help,you need toD.
A.a(chǎn)sk others for help and call the police
B.get along well with the passers-by who spot the trouble
C.go directly to the police station
D.work against the first thoughts that prevent you offering help
60.The main purpose of the text is to tell readersA.
A.to give others a hand        B.to be more competent
C.not to risk looking foolish  D.to stop and evaluate the situation.

1.Would you eat a ready meal from the fridge rather than cook from scratch?Have you been doing internet shopping rather than going to the stores?What can't you be bothered to do?
A study into how lazy British people are has found more than half of adults are so lazy they'd catch the lift rather than climb two flights of stairs.
Just over 2000 people were quizzed by independent researchers at Nuffield Health,Britain's largest health charity.The results were astonishing.
About one in six people surveyed said if their remote control was broken,they would continue watching the same channel rather than get up.
More than one third of those questioned said they would not run to catch a bus.Worryingly,of the 654 respondents with children,64% said they were often too tired to play with them.
This led the report to conclude that it's no wonder that one in six children in the UK are classified as obese (very fat) before they start school.
Dr Sarah Dauncey,medical director of Nuffield Health,said:"People need to get fitter,not just for their own sake,but for the sake of their families,friends and evidently their pets too.
"If we don't start to take control of this problem,a whole generation will become too unfit to perform even the most rudimentary of tasks."
And Scotland's largest city,Glasgow,was shamed as the most inactive city in the UK,with 75% surveyed admitting they do not get enough exercise,followed closely by Birmingham and Southampton,both with 67%.
The results cause serious challenges for the National Health Service,where obesity-related illnesses such as heart disease and cancer have been on a steady increase for the past 40 years and are costing billions of pounds every year.
61.What causes children in the UK to be obese?D
A.Eating ready meal                                  
B.Watching TV
C.Doing Internet shopping                              
D.Being lazy
62.What can be inferred from the passage?D
A.British people are too lazy to do anything.
B.Internet shopping will do harm to your health.
C.Many people would not run to catch a bus in Britain.
D.People should be more active and take regular exercise to keep fit.
63.Which of the following is Not true according to the passage?A
A.One sixth of British people use remote control when watching TV.
B.People will benefit not only themselves but their families by getting fit.
C.Fatness can cause diseases such as heart disease and cancer.
D.More people get obesity-related illnesses now than 40 years ago.
64.What does the underlined word rudimentary most probably mean?A
A.basic                B.serious                C.vital                  D.hard
65.All the following are among the most lazy cities in the UK exceptC.
A.Glasgow          B.Birmingham          C.Nuffield           D.Southampton.

19.The old man walked with a cane (拐杖) slowly into the restaurant.His poor jacket,patched (打補丁的) trousers,and worn-out shoes made him stand out from the usual Saturday morning breakfast crowd.Unforgettable were his pale blue eyes that sparkled like diamonds,large rosy cheeks,and thin lips that held a steady smile.
He walked toward a table by the window.A young waitress watched him and ran over to him,saying,"Here,Sir.Let me give you a hand with that chair."
Without a word,he smiled and nodded a thank you.She pulled the chair away from the table.Supporting him with one arm,she helped him move in front of the chair,and get comfortably seated.Then she pushed the table up close to him,and leaned his cane against the table where he could reach it.
In a soft,clear voice he said,"Thank you,Miss."
"You're welcome,Sir."She replied."My name is Mary.I'll be back in a moment.If you need anything,just wave at me."
After he had finished a hearty meal of pancakes,bacon,and hot lemon tea,Mary brought him the change,helping him up from his chair and out from behind the table.She handed him his cane,and walked with him to the front door.Holding the door open for him,she said,"Come back and see us,Sir!"
He nodded a thank you and said softly with a smile,"You are very kind!"
When Mary went to clean his table,she was shocked.Under his plate she found a business card and a note written on the napkin,under which was a $ 100bill.
The note on the napkin read,"Dear Mary,I respect you very much,and you respect yourself,too.It shows by the way you treat others.You have found the secret of happiness.Your kind gestures will shine through those who meet you."
The man she had served was the owner of the restaurant.This was the first time that she,or any of his employees,had seen him in person.

25.Mary ran over to the old man becauseD.
