    8．You are given many opportunities in life to choose to be a victim or creator．When you choose to be a victim，the world is a cold and difficult place．"They"did things to you which caused all of your pain and suffering．"They"are wrong and bad，and life is terrible as long as"they"are around．Or you may blame yourself for all your problems，thus internalizing（内化）your victimization．The truth is，your life is likely to stay that way as long as you feel a need to blame yourself or others．
    Those who choose to be creators look at life quite differently．They know there are individuals who might like to control their lives，but they don't let this get in the way．They know they have their weaknesses，yet they don't blame themselves when they fail．Whatever happens，they have choice in the matter．They believe their dance with each sacred（神圣的）moment of life is a gift and that storms are a natural part of life which can bring the rain needed for emotional and spiritual growth．
    Victims and creators live in the same physical world and deal with many of the same physical realities，yet their experience of life is worlds apart．Victims relish （沉溺）in anger，guilt，and other emotions that cause others---and even themselves---to feel like victims，too．Creators consciously choose love，inspiration，and other qualities which inspire not only themselves，but all around them．Both victims and creators always have choice to determine the direction of their lives．
    In reality，all of us play the victim or the creator at various points in our lives．One person，on losing a job or a special relationship，may feel as if it is the end of the world and sink into terrible suffering for months，years，or even a lifetime．Another with the same experience may choose to first experience the grief，then accept the loss and soon move on to be a powerful creative force in his life．
    In every moment and every circumstance，you can choose to have fuller，richer life by setting a clear intention to transform the victim within，and by inviting into your life the powerful creator that you are．
    69．What does the word"they"in Paragraph 1 probably refer to？A
    A．People and things around you
    B．Opportunities and problems．
    C．Creators and their choices
    D．Victims and their sufferings．
    70．According to Paragraph 2，creatorsC．
    A．seem willing to experience failures in life
    B．possess the ability to predict future life
    C．handle ups and downs of life wisely
    D．have potential to create something new
    71．What can we learn from Paragraph 3？B
    A．Creators and victims face quite different things in life．
    B．Creators and victims are masters of their lives．
    C．Victims can influence more people than creators．
    D．Compared with victims，creators are more emotional．
    72．The examples mentioned in Paragraph 4 show thatA．
    A．strong attachment to sufferings in life pulls people into victims．
    B．people need family support to deal with challengers in life．
    C．it takes creators quite a long time to get rid of their pains．
    D．one's experiences determine his attitude toward life．
    73．What is the author's purpose in writing this passage？D
    A．To define victims and creators．
    B．To evaluate victims against creators．
    C．To explain the relationship between victims and creators．
    D．To suggest the transformation from victims to creators．

    分析 本文讲述了两种截然不同的人，一种是消极悲观怨天尤人的"受害者"，另一种是积极主动主宰自己命运的"缔造者"．在挫折面前他们表现出不同的态度，作者建议人们要转变心态从命运的"受害者"变成自己命运的主宰者．

    解答 ACBAD
    69  A．推理判断题．从第一段的叙述："‘They'did things to you which caused all of your pain and suffering．‘They'are wrong and bad，and life is terrible as long as‘They'are around．"可知"他们"所做的事情，使你感觉到痛苦和折磨．他们品质败坏，态度恶劣，只要有他们环绕在你身边，你的生活也会很糟糕．所以they指除了自己以外的其他人或事．故A选项正确．
    70   C．细节理解题．文章第二段描叙了那些积极乐观的人们"They believe their dance with each sacred moment of life is a gift and that storms are a natural part of life which can bring the rain needed for emotional and spiritual growth．"由此可知他们相信他们在生命中每一个神圣时刻的舞动都是一份礼物，而暴风雨也只是自然生活的一部分，它会带来心灵和精神上成长所需的雨露．他们对待人生的坎坷起伏的态度是很明智的，C选项正确．
    71   B．推理判断题．从第三段Both victims and creators always have choice to determine the direction of their lives．推断可知B选项正确．他们是自己命运的主人，主宰着自己人生的方向．本段是总分总结构，首句或是尾句即可得出答案．创造者和受害者都是生活的
    决定者．
    72   A．推理判断题．第四段首句"In reality，all of us play the victim or the creator at various points in our lives．"即为主题句，意思是：事实上，在我们生活的许多方面我们都扮演着牺牲品或创造者的角色．此后的例子用来作为论据证明此论点，所以A选项正确．
    73   D．推理判断题．文章讲述了两种人对待挫折困境的不同态度，不同做法，最后提出文章中心即作者的观点"you can choose to have a fuller，richer life by setting a clear intention to transform the victim within，and by inviting into your life the powerful creator that you are．"建议人们不做生活的牺牲品，争做生活的创造者建议人们不做生活的牺牲品，争做生活的创造者 所以D选项正确．

    点评 学生需要认真阅读原文，把握文章大意，对文章脉络有整体的了解，能仔细查找文中细节，并能根据文章内容进行合理的推测判断．

    18．（第一、二层次学校的学生做此题）
    When it comes to friends，I desire those who will share my happiness，who have wings of their own and who will fly with me．I seek friends whose qualities have a good influent on me and train me up for love．It is for these people that I reserve the good old days，too good not to share．
    When I was in the eighth grade，I had a friend．We were shy and"too serious"about our studies when it was becoming fashionable with our classmates to learn acceptable social behaviors．We said little at school，but she would come to my house and we would sit down with pencils and paper，and one of us would say："Let's start with a train whistle （鸣笛） today．"We would sit quietly together and write separate poems or stories that grew out of a train whistle．Then we would read them aloud．At the end of that school year，we were too busy and poems stopped．
    When I lived for a time in London，I had a friend，who was in sadness and so was I．But our friendship was based on the idea in each of us that we would be sorry later if we did not visit much of this great city because we had felt bad at the time．We met every Sunday for five weeks and found many excellent things．We walked until our sadness disappeared and then we said goodbye． We gave London to each other．
    For almost four years I have had good friends whose imagination lightens mine．We write long letters in which we often discover our strangest selves．Each of us appears，sometimes in a funny way，in the other's dreams．She and I agree that，at certain times，we seem to be parts of the same mind．In my most interesting moments，I often think："Yes，I must tell…．"We have never met．
    It is such comforting friends I wish to make．One bright hour with me is worth more to me than the lifetime services of a psychologist（心理学家），who will only fill up the healing（愈合的）silence necessary to those darkest moments in which I would rather be my own best friend．

    68．In the eighth grade，before getting too busy the authorD．
    A．became serious about her study              B．went to her friend's house regularly
    C．learned from her classmates at school       D．shared poems and stories with her friend
    69．In paragraph3，"We gave London to each other"probably meansA．
    A．our visit in London was a memorable gift to both of us
    B．we were unwilling to live London
    C．our unpleasant feeling about London disappeared
    D．we separated with each other in London

    16．Feeling left out？
    A reader wrote in to say that she was feeling lonely at break because her best friend wasn't around．Here's our advice to her-and to all kids who feel lonely sometimes．
    It's hard when a best friend isn't around-maybe because she moved to a different school or a different class．You may feel lonely at break or lunchtime．You want to have new friends．But how do you make them？Maybe it seems like everybody else already has their friends．But remember，there's always room for more friends．
    Start by looking around your classroom-think about which kids you'd like to play with at break．Look for chances to say hi to them，smile，and be friendly．Offer to share something or express your appreciation （欣赏） to them．Invite someone to play with you or say"Do you want to sit here？"in the lunchroom．When you're at break，walk over to kids you want to play with，act friendly，and say"Hi，can I play，too？"or just join in．
    If you have trouble doing  this，or if you're feeling shy，ask your teacher to help you make new friends．Teachers are usually pretty good at matching up friends．The best way to make friends is to be a friend．Be kind，be friendly，share，say nice things，offer to help-and pretty soon，you'll have one，or two，or even more new friends．
    You might still miss that special best friend．But when you see each other，you can share something you didn't have before she left：You can introduce her to your new friends!

    51．This text is written forC．

    B．don't have their best friends around
    C．need their parents to be with them     
    D．are too young to look after themselves
    53．The underlined word" this"in Paragraph 4refers toD．
    A．sharing your ideas                  
    B．talking before many people
    C．studying better at school

    3．How far would you be willing to go to satisfy your need to know？Far enough to find out your possibility of dying from a terrible disease？These days that's more than an academic question，as Tracy Smith reports in our Cover Story．
    There are now more than a thousand genetic（基因的）tests，for everything from baldness to breast cancer，and the list is growing．Question is，do you really want to know what might eventually kill you？For instance，Nobel Prize-winning scientist James Watson，one of the first people to map their entire genetic makeup，is said to have asked not to be told if he were at a higher risk for Alzheimer'（老年痴呆症）．
    "If I tell you that you have an increased risk of getting a terrible disease，that could weigh on your mind and make you anxious，through which you see the rest of your life as you wait for that disease to hit you．It could really mess you up．"Said Dr．Robert Green，a Harvard geneticist．
    "Every ache and pain，"Smith suggested，could be understood as"the beginning of the end．""That's right．If you ever worried you were at risk for Alzheimer's disease，then every time you can't find your car in the parking lot，you think the disease has started．"
    Dr．Green has been thinking about this issue for years．He led a study of people who wanted to know if they were at a higher genetic risk for Alzheimer's．It was thought that people who got bad news would，for lack of a better medical term，freak out．But Green and his team found that there was"no significant difference"between how people handled good news and possibly the worst news of their lives．In fact，most people think they can handle it．People who ask for the information usually can handle the information，good or bad，said Green．
    71．The first paragraph is meant toB．
    A．ask some questions              
    B．introduce the topic
    C．satisfy readers'curiosity         
    D．describe an academic fact
    72．Which of the following is true of James Watson？D
    A．He is strongly in favor of the present genetic tests．
    B．He is more likely to suffer from Alzheimer's disease．
    C．He believes genetic mapping can help cure any disease．
    D．He doesn't want to know his chance of getting a disease．
    73．According to Paragraphs 3 and 4，if a person is at a higher genetic risk，it isA．
    A．advisable not to let him know       
    B．impossible to hide his disease
    C．better to inform him immediately
    D．necessary to remove his anxiety
    74．The underlined part"freak out"in Paragraph 5 is closest in meaning to"A"．
    A．break down        B．drop out     C．leave off        D．turn away
    75．The study led by Dr．Green indicates that peopleC．
    A．prefer to hear good news    
    B．tend to find out the truth
    C．can accept some bad news    
    D．have the right to be informed．

    13．People with disabilities make up a large part of the population．It is estimated（估计） that over 35 million Americans have physical，mental，or other disabilities．About half of these disabilities are"developmental"，i．e．，they occur before the individual's twenty-second birthday，often from genetic conditions，and are severe enough to affect three or more areas of development，such as mobility，communication，employment，etc．Most other disabilities are considered"adventitious"，i．e．，accidental or caused by outside forces．
    Prior to the 20th century，only a small percentage of people with disabilities survived for long．Medical treatment for these disabilities was unavailable．Advancements in medicine and social services have created a climate in which people with disabilities can expect to have such basic needs as food，shelter，and medical treatment．Unfortunately，these basics are often not available．Civil liberties such as the right to vote，marry，get an education，and gain employment have historically been denied on the basis of disability．
    In recent decades，the disability rights movement has been organized to fight against these infringements（违反，侵犯）of civil rights．Congress responded by passing major legislation recognizing people with disabilities as a protected class under civil rights statutes．
    Still today，people with disabilities must fight to live their lives independently．It is estimated that more than half of qualified Americans with disabilities are unemployed，and a majority of those who do work are underemployed．About two-thirds live at or below the official poverty level．
    Significant barriers，especially in transportation and public awareness，prevent disabled people from taking part in society．For example，while no longer prohibited by law from marrying，a person with no access to transportation is effectively excluded from community and social activities which might lead to the development of long-term relationships．
    Only when public attitudes advance as far as laws have will disabled people be fully able to take their rightful place in society．
    1．A"developmental"disabilityB．
    A．develops very slowly over time      
    B．occurs in youth and affects development
    C．is caused by forces                
    D．is getting more and more severe
    2．Most disabled people used to die early becauseB．
    A．disabilities destroyed major bodily functions   
    B．medical techniques were not available 
    C．they were not very well looked after
    D．they were too poor to get proper treatment
    3．In the author's opinion，to enable the disabled people to take their rightful place in society，D．
    A．more laws should be passed           
    B．more public facilities should be set up
    C．government should provide more aids   
    D．public attitudes should be changed
    4．Which of the following cannot be inferred from the passage？B
    A．Many disabled people may remain single for their whole life．
    B．Discriminatory（带歧视性的）laws prevent the disabled from mixing with others．
    C．The public tends to look down upon the disabled people．
    D．The disabled people feel inferior to（低于）those surrounding them．
    5．The best title for this passage might beA．
    A．Handicaps（障碍）of People with Disabilities
    B．The physical difficulties of the Disabled
    C．The Causes for Disabilities
    D．Medical Treatments for Disabilities．

    20．Let's face it-you're going to get a lot of well-intentioned advice from friends，parents and grandparents about your sleep．Some of this advice is going to be just wrong．
    Myth 1：Sleeping late on the weekends will make up for lost sleep during the week．
    Fact：Getting less than the amount of sleep that you need night after night accumulates over time and starts to create a"sleep debt"．And like all debts，eventually you need to pay the price．The problem with waiting until the weekend to meet sleep needs is that in the meantime，you are paying the price of being less alert，feeling more moody，thinking slower and having less stimulation．
    Myth 2：A boring teacher （or warm room，full stomach，etc．） can put teens to sleep．
    Fact：If you are getting enough sleep on a regular basis，there is no teacher，math book or reading assignment in the world boring enough to make you fall asleep in class．There are basically two things that make people sleepy-not getting enough sleep and not getting good quality sleep．The environment kids are in，including the room temperature，light level and entertainment value，may unmask underlying sleepiness，but the environment does not cause it!So if you are dozing off in class，don't blame it on bad teaching．
    Myth 3：Teenagers can pull an all-nighter to study and still be ready for the big test in the morning．
    Fact：Teenagers are much better off studying less and getting a good night's sleep．Research clearly shows that the ability to concentrate and learn new information，as well as to work efficiently，declines sharply after being awake for 15-16hours，and continues to bottom out the longer you stay up．Plus，if the big test is at 8：00am，the problem gets even worse．That's because morning time typically represents a low energy point in the body's normal 24-hour circadian（生理节奏的） rhythm，especially in teenagers．

    64．According to the passage，a student who is in a sleep debtD．
    A．thinks slower but more carefully
    B．must make up for the lost sleep on the weekends
    C．will become more interested in fancying
    D．will become bad-tempered and upset
    65．According to Myth 2，which of the following is TRUE？C
    A．Students who eat a lot are sleepy at class．
    B．The warm room can make students fall asleep easily．
    C．Students'sleepiness has nothing to do with teaching．
    D．The light level may lead students to feel sleepy．
    66．If you wake up at six in the morning，when will you begin working ineffectively？A
    A．At about 9pm         B．In the early morning．
    C．At about noon．      D．In the midnight．
    67．According to the passage，at 8：00am a teenager willB．
    A．feel more energetic after a night's sleep
    B．have a poor learning result
    C．have the least desire to learn
    D．be able to think in a quick way．

    17．In normal conditions，bread will go mouldy（霉）in around 10 days．But an American company says it has developed a technique that will keep the bread mould free for two months．
    At the laboratory or Texas Tech University，chief executive Don Stull showed off the long，metallic microwave device．Originally designed to kill some bacteria，the researchers discovered it could kill the mould spores（霉孢）in bread in 10 seconds．"We treated a slice of bread in the device，we then checked the mould in the bread over time，"he explained．"And at 60 days it had the same mould content as it had when it came out．"
    The machine uses much the same technology as found in commercial microwaves-but with some important differences，according to Mr．Stull．"We introduce the microwave frequencies in different ways，through a radiator．We don't get the hot and cold spots you get in your home microwave．"
    The device has attracted plenty of bread manufacturers-but it is worried that it could push up costs in an industry．And there is also a concern that consumers might not take to bread that lasts for so long．
    Mr．Stull acknowledges it might be difficult to convince some people of the benefits．"We'll have to get some consumer acceptance of that，"he said．"Most people do it by feel，and if you still have that quality feel，they will probably accept it．"
    Mr．Stull believes that the technology could affect bread in other ways．He said that bread manufacturers added lots of additives（添加剂）to fight mould．As a result，they must add extra chemicals to mask the taste of them．If bakers were able to use the microwave technology，they would be able to avoid these additives．While a wholesale change in the bread industry might be difficult to achieve，there may be more potential with other foods．
