五、阅读理解(10题)
44.Passage Three
Sometimes you’ll hear people say that you can’t love others until you love yourself. Sometimes you’ll hear people say that you can’t expect someone else to love you until you love yourself. Either way, you’ve got to love yourself first and this can be tricky. Sure we all know that we’re the people of our parents’ eyes, and that our grandmas think we are great talents and our uncle Roberts think that we will go to the Olympics, but sometimes it’s a lot harder to think such nice thoughts about ourselves. If you find that believing in yourself is a challenge, it is time you built a positive self-image and learn to love yourself.
Self-image is your own mind’s picture of yourself. This image includes the way you look, the way you act, the way you talk and the way you think. Interestingly, our self-images are often quite different from the images others hold about us. Unfortunately, most of these images are more negative than they should be, and thus changing the way you think about yourself is the key to changing your self-image and your whole world.
The best way to defeat a passive self-image is to step back and decide to stress your successes. That is, make a list if you need to, but write down all of the great things you do every day. Don’t allow doubts to occur in it.
It very well might be that you are experiencing a negative self-image because you can’t move past one flaw or weakness that you see about yourself. Well, roll up your sleeves and make a change of it as your primary task. If you think you are silly because you aren’t good at math, find a tutor. If you think you are weak because you can’t run a mile, get to the track and practice. If you think you are dull because you don’t wear the latest trends, buy a few new clothes.
（68）The best way to get rid of a negative self-image is to realize that your image is far from objective and to actively convince yourself of your positive qualities.Changing the way you think and working on those you need to improve will go a long way towards promoting a positive self-image. When you can pat yourself on the back, you’ll know you’re well on your way You need to build a positive selfA.dare to challenge yourself B.feel it hard to change yourself C.are unconfident about yourself D.have a high opinion of yourself
image when you______（）
45.According to the author, that today's children seem adult-like results from（）
A.the widespread influence of television B.the poor arrangement of teaching content
C.the fast pace of human intellectual development D.the constantly rising standard of living
46.A person with good manners thinks of（）
A.the old before himself B.himself before others C.no one but himself D.his personal interests
47.Wouldn’t it be great if you could just look up at the sky and read the weather forecast right away? Well, you can. The forecast is written in clouds. If you can read that writing, you can tell something about the atmosphere. With some practice, you can become a pretty good weather forecaster. Who knows, you might even do as well as meteorologists.
Meteorologists use much more information than just the appearance of the clouds to make their forecast. They collect data from all over the world.Then they put it into powerful, high-speed computers. This does give the meteorologists an advantage, because they can track weather patterns as they move from west to east across the country. But you have an advantage, too. You can look at the sky and get your data directly. A meteorologist uses a computer forecast that’s several hours old to make a local forecast.
What are you seeing when you look at a cloud?A picture of moisture is doing in the atmosphere, says meteorologist Peter Leavitt. There’s moisture throughout the atmosphere. Most of the time you don’t see it, because it’s in the form of an invisible gas called water vapor. Sometimes, the temperature of the air gets cold enough to cause the water vapor to change to liquid water. It’s called condensation, and we see it happen all the time （for example, when humid air from the shower hits the cold glasses of a mirror）. When enough water vapor condenses, droplets（小水滴） come in the air. These droplets scatter light. A cloud is seen.
Watching clouds over a day or two tells you a lot more than a single cloud about the weather to come. Changes in clouds show changes in the
atmosphere. You should begin to notice patterns. Certain clouds, following each other in order, can signal an approaching storm. But don’t take our word for it; see for yourself
What does meteorologists refer to（）
A.people who study the earth’s atmosphere and its changes B.people who broadcast weather on TV
C.people who are in charge of weather forecast
D.people who study the earth’s rocks and the history of its development
48.Passage 1
Not everyone in the world requires the same amount of living space. The amount of space a person needs around him is a cultural difference, not an economic one. Knowing your own psychological space needs is important because they strongly affect your choices, including, for example, the number of bedrooms in the home. If you were brought up in a two-child family and both you and your sister or brother had your own bedrooms, the chances are that if you have two children or more, you will also offer separate bedrooms for them. In America, for example, they train people to want to have their own rooms by giving them their own rooms when they are babies. This is very unusual in the world. In many other countries, the baby sleeps in the same bed with his parents or in bed near them.
The space in the home also shows a lot about psychological space needs. Some families gather closer to each other and the size of their house has nothing to do with it. Others have separate little corners where family members go to be alone.
Although it is true that psychological space needs are not decided by economic reasons, they sometimes have to be changed a little because of economic pressure. It is almost impossible, however, to completely change your psychological space needs
What can we learn from the first paragraph（）
A.Not two people need exactly the same amount of living space B.Living space requirements are not always the same C.The world requires the same amount of living space D.Nobody needs a required amount of living space
49.The underlined phrase function below their ability shown by test scores means the under-achievers ________（） A.often get low scores in tests
B.do worse in actual learning than in tests
C.usually do better in tests than the over-achievers
D.are always slow in learning and have to make more efforts
50.Ancient man attempted to change the weather by using magic.When experience taught him this was impossible, he tried to forecast weather conditions. Even earlier than 1000 B.there were seers（预言家） in Babylon—and priests clever enough to denounce（抨击） as cheaters who predicted the weather a year in advance.
Some forecasters used methods that seem to have no connection with the actual factors controlling the weather. Chickens and other animals were sacrificed and their intestines （肠） poked to find signs indicating rain or drought.
Somewhat more scientific were predictions based on vegetation, Onion’s skin very thin, mild winter coming in. Onion’s skin thick and tough, coming winter cold and rough.
Insects and animals were also favorite weather clues, When the glowworm lights his lamp, then the air is always damp（潮湿的）. If spiders forsake their cobwebs, the weather will for certain break. If frogs remained in pools, the weather would be fine. If they were seen on rocks, rain and cold were due The author seems to think that animal sacrifices were ______（）
A.effective in foretelling the weather B.successful in foretelling rain or drought
C.unscientific ways of trying to foretell the weather D.an improvement on ancient man’s method

54.Is Failure a Bad Thing?It is quite usual that one meets failure, for one’s life can never be plain sailing. However, different people hold different attitudes towards failure.On the one hand, some people think failure is a bad thing with the reason that it makes people frustrated and discouraged, which may lead people to lose heart and confidence. On the other hand, others hold the opinion that failure is not a bad thing. They consider failure is valuable in people’s life because failure is beneficial to people’s overall development and enriches people’s experiences.As far as I am concerned, I support the latter opinion. Failure is really a terrible thing but it is also the mother of success. If one draws lessons from failure, in most cases he will get success in the future. If one holds a positive attitude towards failure, he will overcome difficulties and frustrations to win victory.In conclusion, as long as we make good use of failure and draw lessons from it, failure is a good thing. Only by doing this can we succeed in the end
