9．Does this situation seem familiar to you？Your English is progressing well，the grammar is now familiar，the reading comprehension is no problem，you are communicating quite fluently，but：Listening is STILL a problem!First of all，remember that you are not alone．Listening comprehension is probably the most difficult job for almost all learners of English as a foreign language．The most important thing is to listen as often as possible．The first step is to find listening resources．The Internet is really a useful tool for English students．You can download The RealPlayer from RealMedia．com．The RealPlayer allows you to use the Internet like a radio station．
Once you have begun to listen on a regular basis，you might still be frustrated （懊恼） by limited understanding．What should you do？
Here is some of the advice I give my students：
●Accept the fact that you are not going to understand everything．
●Stay relaxed when you do not understand-even if you continue not to understand for a long time．
●Do not translate what you hear into your native language．
●Listen for the general idea of the conversation．Don't concentrate on detail until you have understood the main ideas．
I remember the problems I had in understanding spoken German when I first went to Germany．In the beginning，when I didn't understand a word，I insisted on translating it in my mind．This method usually resulted in confusion．Then，after the first six months，I discovered two very important facts．Firstly，translating creates a wall between the listener and the speaker．Secondly，most people repeat themselves constantly．By remaining calm，I noticed that-even if I didn't pay much attention，I could usually understand what the speaker had said．
55．The best way to improve our listening is toB．
A．practise as much as possible
B．find as many listening resources as possible
C．use the Internet like a radio station
D．speak naturally and read as much as possible
56．Which of the following is a good habit when listening？B
A．Try to understand everything．
B．Try to get the main ideas．
C．Pay much attention to details．
D．Translate each word in your mind．
57．Why did the writer mention his/her experience in Germany？C
A．To prove the importance of translating．
B．To show the problems of speaking a foreign language．
C．To tell us the importance of staying calm．
D．To point out an ineffective method of listening．
58．The underlined part"a wall"in the last paragraph refers to"A"．
A．a communication barrier （障碍）          
B．culture shock
C．language understanding 
D．a little misunderstanding．

8．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 best machine ever created：the human mind．Success is a choice and not a chance．You were born a winner．You can be a success if only you make the right choice．
You cannot be successful without first developing your self-esteem（自尊）．Your level of self-esteem is always based on the degree of control that you are able to have 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 leaves tossed（摇摆） by the winds of chance blown about with any sudden change in the weather．
You can control 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．
In short，in all areas of your life，whether they are 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．
68．People with low self-esteem are compared to leaves because theyD．
A．are easily affected by windy weather             
B．are ready to change their minds
C．don't have the power to face their fate            
D．can't control themselves
69．Losers would think thatA．
A．their failure is only because of bad luck           
B．they don't make efforts to succeed
C．working hard will lead to success             
D．success is the result of hard work
70．It can be inferred from paragraph 5 thatB．
A．success is a chance
B．We are what we make us
C．thoughts and beliefs are the result of creative mind
D．developing confidence is the only way to future success
71．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．

7．What should you think about when trying to find your career？You are probably better at some school subjects than others．There may show strengths that you can use in your work．A boy who is good at mathematics can use that in an engineering career．A girl who spells well and likes English may be good at office work．So it is important to know the subjects you do well at school．On the other hand，you may not have any specially strong subjects but your records show a general satisfactory standard．Although not all subjects can be used directly in a job，they may have indirect value．A knowledge of history is not required for most jobs but if history is one of your good subjects，you will have learned to remember facts and details．This is an ability that can be useful in many jobs．
Your school may have taught you skills，such as typing or technical drawing，which you can use in your work．You may be good at metalwork or cookery and look for a job where you can improve these skills．If you have had a part-time job on Saturdays or in the summer，think what you gained from it．If nothing else，you may have learned how to get to work on time，to follow instructions and to get on with other workers．You may have learned to give correct changes in a shop，for example．Just as important，you may become interested in a particular industry or career you see from the inside in a part-time job．
Facing your weak points is also part of knowing yourself．You may be all thumbs when you handle tools； perhaps you are a poor speller or cannot add up a column of figures．It is better to face any weakness than to pretend they do not exist．Your school record，for instance，may not be too good，yet it is an important part of your background．You should not be apologetic about it，but instead recognize that you will have a chance of a fresh start at work．
62．What is the passage mainly about？A
A．Advice on choosing a career．
B．How to face one's weakness．
C．The significance of working hard at school．

A．could restart his study in school
B．may also do well in his future work

A．make full use of one's own weak points   
B．study harder for a new school record
C．face one's own weak points wisely

6．Scientists can learn about man by studying animals，such as mice，rats and monkeys．The scientists in a laboratory are experimenting on mice and they are studying the relationship between diet and health．
In this experiment，the scientists are studying the relationship between the amount of food the mice can eat and their health．The mice are in three groups．All these groups are receiving the same healthy diet．But the amount of food that each group is receiving is different．The first group is eating one cup of food each day，the second two cups，and the third three cups．
After three years，the healthiest group is the one that is only eating one cup of food each day．The mice in this group are thinner than normal mice but they are more active．Most of the day，they are running，playing with one another，and using the equipment in their cages．Also，they are living longer．Mice usually live for two years，while most of the mice in this group are still alive after three years．
The second group of mice is of normal weight．They are healthy，too．They are active，but not as active as the thinner mice．But they are only living about two years．
The last group of mice is receiving more food than the other two groups．Most of the day，these mice are eating or sleeping．They are not active．These mice are living longer than the scientists thought-about a year and a half，but they are not healthy．They are sick more often than the other two groups．
55．The first group is the thinnest mainly becauseB．
A．they run and play all day long
B．they eat only one cup of food a day
C．they live longer than the other groups
D．they are bored with the kind of food in the cup
56．How long do normal mice live according to the passage？C

A．sleep and weight                B．exercise and equipment
C．food and health                 D．weight and exercise．

5．How would you like to brush a crocodile's teeth？Or give a shark a bath？Cats are well-known for the way they keep themselves clean by licking（舔），but other animals have their own ways to stay clean as well．And tidiness can be important for their survival．Even cockroaches（蟑螂）have to keep their feelers clean to help them into food．
    Many animals in the wild，such as deer，wolves and bears，have an automatic cleaning system．Insects like to attach themselves to animals to feed on the skin or blood．These parasites（寄生虫） can be unhealthy．But their"host"animals are constantly dropping skin and fur by a natural process．They also like to rub up against trees or rocks to comfort themselves，and this removes additional skin and fur．Along with old fur goes the dirt and parasites living in the fur．While these animals may sometimes take a bath when they enter or cross a river or lake，they don't need the water to stay clean．They don't get sweaty，because they don't have sweat glands（汗腺）all over their bodies the way people do．Growing new skin and fur is enough to keep them clean．
    Some animals and birds use dust to get clean．Chinchillas，a kind of small animal that lives in
the mountains of South America，have a very fine fur．（They are raised for their fur，in fact．）If they took water baths，they might get too cold．So，instead，they roll around in fine dust，raising
quite a cloud as they"bathe"．The dust helps to keep their fur and skin dry．This protects them
from bacteria and parasites that enjoy warm and wet places．And the fine dust doesn't stick in their
fur for long．It falls off or blows away．
    As for lions and tigers．their rough tongues act like combs and can remove dirt and loose fur．
Why is it important for them to stay clean and smooth？It helps them stay cool in very hot summer or feel warm in cold winter．
55．What's the main idea of this passage？A
  A．For animals，cleanliness is a survival skill．
    B．Animals enjoy living in a clean environment．
    C．Unlike people，animals hate staying in water．
    D．Animals fight against parasites in different ways．
56．According to the passage，such animals as deer，wolves and bears clean themselves byB   
    A．living with parasites
    B．replacing their skin and fur naturally
    C．climbing trees or rocks
    D．having a bath in a river or lake
57．It can be inferred from the passage that the way some animals stay cleanA    A．is decided by their physical conditions
    B．is better than the way people do
    C．keeps them away from parasites all the time
    D．helps them survive any danger in the wild．

Dear Tom，
I am so sorry to answer your letter so late．
          ．

3．Some students get so nervous before an exam that they do poorly even if they know the material．Sian Beilock，a psychology professor at the University of Chicago，has studied these highly anxious exam-takers．
"They start worrying about the results．They might even start worrying about whether this exam is going to prevent them from getting into the college they want．And when we worry，it actually uses up attention and memory resources that you could otherwise be using to focus on the exam，"says Sian Beilock．
The researchers tested the idea on a group of 20anxious college students．They gave them two short math exams．After the first one，they asked the students to either sit quietly or write about their feelings about the coming second exam．
The researchers added to the pressure．They told the students that those who did well on the second exam would get money．They also told them that their performance would affect other students as part of a team effort．
Professor Beilock says those who sat quietly scored an average of 20% worse on the second exam．But the students who had written about their fears improved their performance by an average of 5%．
Next，the researchers used younger students in a biology class．They told them before final exams either to write about their feelings or to think about things unrelated to the exam．
Professor Beilock says highly anxious students who wrote about their feelings got an average grade of B+，compared with a B-for those who did not．
But what can they do if students do not have a chance to write about their fears immediately before an exam or presentation？Professor Beilock says students can try it themselves at home or in the library and they can still improve their performance．

61．In which paragraph does the author introduce the background（背景） of his study？A
A．In the first paragraph．
B．In the second paragraph．
C．In the third paragraph
D．In the last paragraph．
62．According to Sian Beilock，if you want to succeed in an exam you shouldB．
A．be as serious as you can about the exam．
B．focus your attention on the exam．
C．set clear study goals and keep them
D．make a careful preparation for the exam
63．We can infer from the study that students who sit quietly before the examC．
A．are more likely to get better exam results．
B．have a positive attitude towards exam results．
C．worry more about the exam in their mind．
D．have a strong will to be successful in the exam．
64．The underlined word"it"in the last paragraph refers to"C"．
A．looking for a chance                     B．preparing for the exam
C．writing about the feelings               D．taking the exam
65．If a student writes about his feelings before an exam，heA．
A．will improve his exam result          B．can keep a good memory of the exam
C．will get support from his teachers    D．will forget what he has prepared for the exam．
