8.On this fine winter day,when much of the country is freezing,I know I shouldn't complain.I live in the Mojave Desert on a hill overlooking Las Vegas,so I can sit outside,feel the sun on my face and not feel cold.But I'm just going to say it:I am tired of winter.Around this time of year,I always look forward to spring.
I blame my grandmother.Growing up,I spent most spring breaks with her on her farm in the Blue Ridge Mountains.Once,when I was 8or so,I said:"Why do they call it spring break?It still feels like winter."
She studied me for a minute,and then said:"Spring is where you find it.Let's go take a look."Then we each took a walking stick and with that we were off.
You could not outwalk my grandmother.The woman was never tired.We followed a dusty trail,zigzagging (曲折前进) up the mountain from the farm to the top of a hill.Finally,she stopped."There,"she said."There's your spring."She pointed to a tree covered in pink blooms that looked like little puffs (蓬松的一团) of cotton candy on sticks.
I wish you could've seen it.
"It's a dogwood (山茱萸),"she said."It blooms every year whether we're around to see it or not.It's a promise.You can count on it."
That tree became a ritual (例行习惯),a promise I counted on.Every spring we went looking for it and every time we found it in all its glory.When I grew up and moved away,I carried the memory of that tree and its promise with me from the mountains of North Carolina,to the coast of California,to a hill overlooking Las Vegas.
My grandmother has been gone for years.Her farm was sold and the hill above it became a subdivision (供出卖的小块土地).I don't know if the dogwood survived.But it still blooms,without fail,in my memory.
Sometimes,in the dead of winter,it helps to remember the promise I learned as a child.
Life persists in spite of us.The Earth is reborn every spring,every day,and every moment.When we least expect it,trees bloom on mountains in our memories.It's a promise.

56.Which of the following is TRUE according to the article?D
A.The author's grandmother got tired quickly.
B.The author's grandmother and the dogwood both died years ago.
C.The place the author lives in is colder than other places in the country.
D.The dogwood is a sign of spring and it lived on in the author's memory for years.
57.When the author complained that it was still too cold during spring break,her grandmotherC.
A.suggested that she enjoy the beauty of winter
B.took her to climb the hill to get warmer
C.showed her that spring actually had come already
D.convinced her that spring would come soon
58.The main purpose of the article is toD.
A.show the importance of promises
B.explain why dogwoods have a special meaning for the author
C.share the author's memories of her happy childhood with her grandmother
D.argue that life keeps on going,and thus we should be patient when things seem dark or sad.

7.When I was 12,I got a part-time job on a dairy farm,milking cows.We milked 65 cows twice a day.One day,I complained to my father about having to go milk those cows,saying it was tiring.He said,you know,boy,to work is a blessing.I looked at the men who'd worked harder.I had a feeling I had been told something really important,but it took many years before it sank in.
 Back then,going to college was a rare privilege.My father told me if I'd picked something to study that I liked doing,I'd always look forward to my work.But he also added,even having a job you hate is better than not having a job at all.I wanted to be a farmer,but I joined a military program to help pay for college.And what started out as an obligation to the Army became a way of life that I had been devoted to for 37 years.
In the late 1980s,during a visit to Bangladesh,I saw a woman with her baby on her back,breaking bricks with a hammer.I asked a local officer why they weren't using a machine to make the work easier.He told me a machine would put that lady out of work.And as bad as that woman's job was,it was enough to keep a small family alive.It reminded me of my father's words:to work is a blessing.
 After seeing a lot of people like that woman in Bangladesh,I've come to believe that people without jobs are not free.They're victims of crime,poor health,and depression.People who have jobs can have a home,send their kids to school,develop a sense of pride,contribute to the good of the community and even help others.When we can work,we are free.We are blessed.

6.When something goes wrong,it can be very satisfying to say,"Well,it's so-and-so's fault."or"I know I'm late,but it's not my fault;the car broke down."It is probably not your fault,but once you form the habit of blaming somebody or something else for a bad situation,you are a loser.You have no power and could do nothing that helps change the situation.However,you can have great power over what happens to you if you stop focusing on whom to blame and start focusing on how to  remedy the situation.This is the winner's key to success.
Winners are great at overcoming problems.For example,if you were late because your car broke down,maybe you need to have your car examined more regularly.Or,you might start to carry along with you the useful phone numbers,so you could call for help when in need.For another example,if your colleague causes you problems on the job for lack of responsibility or ability,find ways of dealing with his irresponsibility or inability rather than simply blame the person.Ask to work with a different person,or don't rely on the person.You should accept that the person.Ask to work with a different person,or don't rely on this person.You should accept that the person is not reliable and find creative ways to work successfully regardless of how your colleague fails to do his job well.
This is what being a winner is all about-creatively using your skills and talents so that you are successful no matter what happens.Winners don't have fewer problems in their lives; they have just as many difficult situations to face as anybody else.They are just better at seeing those problems as challenges and opportunities to develop their own talents.So,stop focusing on"whose fault it is."Once you are confident about your power over bad situations,problems are just stepping stop on for success.

56.According to the passage,winnersC.
A.have responsible and able colleagues
B.meet with fewer difficulties in their lives
C.deal with problems rather than blame others
D.blame themselves rather than others
57.The underlined word"remedy"in Paragraph 1is closest in meaning toA.
A.improveB.accept   C.avoid      D.consider
58.When your colleague brings about a problem,you shouldD.
A.ask a more able colleague for help
B.blame him for his lack of responsibility
C.tell him to find the cause of the problem
D.find a better way to handle the problem
59.When problems occur,winners take them asB.
A.excuses for their failuresB.chances for self-development
C.challenges to their colleaguesD.barriers to greater power
60.Which of the following is the best title for the passage?B.
A.A Winner's Problem.B.A Winner's Secret.
C.A Winner's Opportunity.D.A Winner's Achievement.

5.I was born under the Blue Ridge,and under that side which is blue in the evening light,in a wild land of game and forest and rushing waters.There,on the borders of a creek that runs into the Yadkin River,in a cabin that was chinked with red mud,I came into the world a subject of King George the Third,in that part of his realm known as the province of North Carolina.
The cabin smelt very strongly of corn-pone and bacon,and the odor of pelts.It had two shakedowns(临时床铺),on one of which I slept under a bearskin.A rough stone chimney was raised outside,and the fireplace was as long as my father was tall.There was a crane in it,and a bake kettle; and over it great buckhorns held my father's rifle when it was not in use.On other horns hung jerked bear's meat and venison hams,and gourds for drinking cups,and bags of seed,and my father's best hunting shirt; also,in a neglected corner,several articles of woman's clothing.These once belonged to my mother.Among them was a gown of silk,of a fine,faded pattern,which I always wondered.The women at the Cross-Roads,twelve miles away,were dressed in coarse butternut wool and huge sunbonnets.But when I questioned my father on these matters he would give me no answers.
My father was-how shall I say what he was?To this day I can only surmise many things of him.He was a Scotchman born,and I know now that he had a slight Scotch accent.At the time of which I write,my early childhood,he was a frontiersman and hunter.I can see him now,with his hunting shirt and leggins (绑腿) and moccasins(莫卡辛鞋); his powder horn,engraved with wondrous scenes; his bullet pouch and tomahawk and hunting knife.He was a tall,lean man with a strange,sad face.And he talked little except when he drank too many"horns,"as they were called in that country.These little bad behaviors of my father's were a permanent source of wonder to me-and,I must say,of delight.They occurred only when a passing traveler who hit his fancy chanced that way,or,what was almost as rare,a neighbor.Many a winter night I have lain awake under the skins,listening to a flow of language that held me spellbound,though I understood scarce a word of it.P.F.Productions
"Virtuous(有德行的) and vicious(罪恶的) every man must be,
Few in the extreme,but all in a degree."
The chance neighbor or traveler was no less struck with wonder.And many the time have I heard the query,at the Cross-Roads and elsewhere,"Whar Alec Trimble got his larnin'?"
 
70.The mention of the dress in the second paragraph is most likely meant toC.
A.show the similarity between its owner and other members of the community
B.show how warm the climate was
C.show the dissimilarity between its owner and other members of the community
D.give us insight into the way most of the women of the region dressed
71.Judging by the sentences surrounding it,the underlined word"surmise"in the third paragraph most nearly meansD.
A.to form a negative opinion          
B.to praise
C.to desire                       
D.to guess
72.Why did the narrator enjoy it when his father drank too many"horns,"or drafts of liquor?A
A.The father spoke brilliantly at those times.
B.The boy was then allowed to do as he pleased.
C.These were the only times when the father was not abusive.
D.The boy was allowed to sample the drink himself.P.F.Productions
73.What is the meaning of the lines of verse (诗句) quoted in the passage?B
A.Men who pretend to be virtuous are actually vicious.
B.Moderate amounts of virtuousness and viciousness are present in all men.
C.Virtuous men cannot also be vicious.
D.Whether men are virtuous or vicious depends on the difficulty of their circumstances.

4.What is the porpose of readig or studying?If you can't remember what you read or study,it will be a waste of time.(36)GOne useful aid that does help you remember what you study is to have a specific purpose or reason for reading.
Why does a clerk in a store go away when your reply to her offer to help is,"No,thank you.I'm just looking."?Both you and she know that if you aren't sure what you want,you are not likely to find it.But suppose you say instead,"Yes,thank you.I want a pair of sun glasses."She says,"Right this way,please."It's quite the same with your studying.If you choose a book,"just looking"for nothing in particular,you are likely to get just that-nothing.(37)FYour reasons will vary; they will include reading or studying"to find out more about","to understand the reasons for"and"to find out how".
(38)ABefore you start to study,you say to yourself something like this,"I want to know why Stephen Vincent Benet happened to write about America".Because you know why you are reading or studying,you relate the information to your purpose and remember it better.
Reading is not one single activity.(39)DAs you read,you take in ideas rapidly and accurately.But at the same time you express your own ideas to yourself as you react to what you read.You have a kind of mental conversation with the author.
This additional process of thinking about what you read includes evaluating it,relating it to what you already know,and using it for your own purposes (40)BOne part of critical reading,as you have discovered,is distinguishing between facts and opinions.Facts can be checked by evidence.Opinions are one's own personal reactions.Another part of critical reading is judging sources.Still another part is drawing accurate inferences.

A.This is an effective studying way.
B.In other words,a good reader is a critical reader.
C.You remember better when you know what you're reading.
D.At least two important processes go on at the same time.
E.It is important for students to have a positive attitude to their study.
F.But if you do know what you want,you are almost sure to get it.
G.Perhaps  you have already discovered some good ways to keep yourself from forgetting.

3.Child abuse and child neglect are serious crimes.Some U.S.1aws are designed to protect children from their very own parents.Recently,two parents who live in the state of Maryland,near Washington,D.C.,were found guilty of"unsubstantiated neglect"(未经证实的疏忽).
What was their crime?The parents let their two children walk home together unsupervised (无人监管的)from a neighborhood park.The children are a 10-year old boy named Raft and his 6-year old sister Dvora.The two siblings like to play at their neighborhood park.After playing,they walk home-by themselves.And"that is a problem",says Maryland's child protective services agency.And this incident  has restarted a debate in the U.S.about the amount of independence parents should give their children.
Some people object to courts telling parents how to raise their children.They also think children benefit from exploring the outside world without a lot of supervision.Raft and Dvora's parents,Danielle and Alexander Meitiv,are both trained scientists.They defend"free-range parenting."Free-range is usually a term used to describe farm animals that live uncaged.With parents,it means loosening control over your children.Danielle Meitiv explains."The idea of free-range parenting is really that your children need the freedom to explore.They need to be a1one,without parents.They learn to take risks.They learn to be independent."
But opponents say this so called"free-range parenting"can put children in danger.They say children may not be able to safely explore the world alone.They may not be able to cross the street safely.They may get lost.They could get hurt or,a parents'worst nightmare,kidnapped.
The Meitiv parents say they slowly let their two children take walks by themselves.They first made sure Rafi and Dvora knew the area well.But on December 20,2014,the two young Meitivs went farther than usual.They walked home from a park that is a little more than a kilometer away.Police officers stopped the children as they walked along a busy street.They drove the children home.What happened next came as a shock,says Alexander Meitiv,their father.

32.The underlined part"this incident"refers to the children'sC.
A.playing outside
B.being treated badly
C.walking home alone
D.committing serious crimes
33.In what sense are unsupervised children similar to uncaged animals?D
A.They have difficulty finding their home.
B.They are in the control of their parents.
C.They always depend on each other.
D.They are free to explore the world.
34.Free-range parenting is not favored by those who thinkA.
A.children are too young to take good care of themselves
B.parents should give their children much independence
C.family education is the most important for children
D.not all parents are well trained
35.We can infer from the text thatD.
A.Raft and Dvora were very naughty
B.children are not expected to take risks
C.parents should loosen control over their children
D.the Meitivs didn't neglect their children on purpose.

2.From now on,never spend your precious time thinking of reasons for your failures and shortcomings.Instead,realize that the seeds of success were planted within you when you were born.Only you have the power to make those seeds grow.
The seeds,and the power to grow them,are contained in the most awesome machine ever created:the human mind.Success is a choice and not a chance.You were born a winner.You were born rich.You can be a success if only you make the right choice.
You cannot be successful without first developing your self-esteem.Your level of self-esteem is always based on the degree of control that you are able to exercise over yourself,and thus over your life.People with low self-esteem are people who do not believe that they have any power,or responsibility for their lives.They are the perennial(长期的) victims and martyrs(殉道者).They are leaves tossed(摇摆) by the winds of chance blown about with any sudden change in the weather.
You can exercise control over your life only to the degree that you believe that you are responsible for everything that happens in your life.Failures think that everything happens by accident and chance.Successful people realize that they are responsible.
Everything happens as a result of something.If we can identify the cause,we can control the effect.We are responsible for what we choose to think and believe.One generally rises to the level that one expects.We are responsible for setting our expectations.Our success is dependent upon our level of confidence.
If you associate with positive-thinking people,you are definitely going to achieve success.On the contrary,the opposite happens.We are responsible for finding,planting,and nurturing the seeds that contain future victory,born from setbacks.
In short,in all areas of your life,whether they be financial,physical,emotional,or spiritual,you are responsible.Once you recognize this,accept it,and firmly believe it,you are on the road to success.

51.People with low self-esteem are compared to leaves because theyB.
A.are ready to change their minds            
B.can't exercise control over themselves
C.don't have the power to face their fate        
D.are easily affected by windy weather
52.Losers would think thatB.
A.success is the result of hard work            
B.their failure is only because of bad luck
C.working hard will lead to success      
D.they don't make efforts to succeed
53.It can be inferred from paragraph 5thatD.
A.setting our expectations is essential before taking action
B.developing confidence is the key to future success
C.thoughts and beliefs are the result of creative mind
D.whether we will succeed depends on our attitudes
54.The last paragraph serves asC.
A.the proof of the author's points                  
B.an introduction to another topic
C.the conclusion of the argument                  
D.a comparison between two views
55.Which is the best title for the text?C
A.Develop our confidence.
B.The secrets of success.
C.Success is a choice.
D.How to achieve success.

1.I carry a Rubik's Cube (魔方) in my backpack.Solving it quickly is a terrific conversation starter.I usually ask people to try it first.They just turn the cube over in their hands,not even knowing where to begin.That's exactly what it was like for me to learn how to read.Letters and words were out of order.Nothing made sense because I am dyslexic.
The Rubik's Cube has made me believe that sometimes you have to take a few steps back in order to move forward.This was a reflection of my own life when I had to leave public school after the fourth grade.It's embarrassing to admit,but I still couldn't always spell my full name correctly.As a fifth-grader at a new school specializing in what's called"language-processing disorder",I had to start over.I then spent the next four years learning how to learn and find strategies that allowed me to return to my district's high school with the ability to communicate my ideas and express my intelligence.
Now,I can easily solve the 5×5×5.I discover that just before it is solved,a problem can look like a mess,and then suddenly you can find the solution.Early in my Rubik's career,I became so frustrated that I took the cube apart and rebuilt it.I believe that sometimes you have to look deeper and find answers in unexpected places.The Rubik's cube taught me that to accomplish something big,it helps to break it down into small pieces.I learned that it's important to spend a lot of time thinking,to try to find connections and patterns.I believe that there are surprises around the corner.
Like life itself,the Rubik's cube can be frustrating puzzle.So everyday I carry a Rubik's cube in my backpack as a reminder that I can achieve my goals,no matter what obstacles I face.

Many teachers worried about the effects of television on young people. According to studies,any children spend more time watching television than they spend in school. Because so much viewing,children may not be develop the habit of read and the ability to enjoy themselves. No one worries much about the radio program young people listen to,although radios can be very noise.Teachers also wonder about the effects of television commercials. On one year the average child will see 25,000television commercials,all planned and written by grown-ups to make children to want things that they don't real need.
