23、题数：0，分数：0.00)六、Part A(总题数：0，分数：0.00)七、Text 1(总题数：1，分数：10.00)“Mummy, I don t know what to play with.“ Steve interrupts his mother, who is talking to a friend, for the fourth time. “Youve got a room full of toys!“ his mother says impatiently. In fact it is the jumble of toys which is to blame for four
24、-year-old Steves lack of interest in his dolls, cars and stuffed animals. Each morning he tips out three washing baskets of toys all over his floor, listlessly pulls out something and shortly after is standing at his mothers desk or following her into the kitchen saying: “Mummy, I am bored.“A family
25、 therapist (心理医生) explains why children lose interest when they have a whole “toy shop“ at home: “According to their brain development, little children are not in a position to judge the quality of a variety of things at once. There is always just one favorite toy for the moment. All the rest is lef
26、t lying about.“ What can parents do to stop their children from being oversupplied with toys? Under no conditions simply make something disappear without the childs knowledge. If he / she takes no more notice of a toy, a parent can ask if it can be stored or given away. Be warned though the child wi
27、ll always say he / she wants it then! A talk with relatives and friends may also help. Lyn is the mother of four-year-old Jessie, and we like her way. A small set of shelves in her childs room holds the toys and books that are the current favorites. When it seems to her that her daughter is tired of
28、 these toys, they put them away in a box together and select some other toys from a cupboard in another room. The box of “old“ toys goes into the cupboard. When her child says she is “bored“, they also get something from her cupboard it may be something she has had for some time but because she hasn
29、t seen it for a while it is almost like a new toy. Some favorite toys stay out all the time, and there is a collection of dolls which sits in the corner, but in this way Lyn has found that she has fewer toys to put away at the end of the day and her daughter always has something “fresh“ to play with

34、数：1，分数：10.00)For many of us, being successful means living a healthy, long life, content with friends and family. For others, it means doing what we love. What does success mean to you? What would you have to be doing to feel that you are a successful person?There are many ways of defining success.
35、It is accurate to say that each of us has our own concept of success to the extent that each of us is responsible for setting our own goals and determining whether we have met these goals satisfactorily. Because each of us possesses unique differences in genetic ability and favorable environments to
36、 express these abilities, it is necessarily true that we must define success broadly.For some people, simply being able to live their life with a minimum of misery and suffering is considered a success. Think of the peace of mind of the poor shepherd who tends his sheep, enjoys his frugal life with
37、his family in the beauty of nature, and who is respected because he does a good job of achieving the goals expected of and accepted by him and his society. On the other hand, it seems that even though some people appear to be rich in material possessions, many of them seem to be miserable and consid
38、er themselves unsuccessful when judged by their own standards of success. Because not all ventures can be successful, one should not set unrealistic goals for achieving success, but if one has self-confidence it would be unfortunate to set ones goals at too low a level of achievement.A wise counselo
39、r once said to a young man who was experiencing frustration with his own professional success: “You do not have to set your goal to reach the moon in order to have success in traveling. Sometimes one can be very successful merely by taking a walk in the park, or riding the subway downtown,“ the coun
40、selor added, “You have not really failed and spoiled your chances for success until you have been unsuccessful at something you really like, and to which you have given your best effort./（分数：10.00）(1).In the second paragraph, the author implies that the two essential elements in achieving success ar
41、e _.（分数：2.00）A.goals and environmentB.determination and abilityC.responsibility and determinationD.ability and environment(2).The word “frugal“ (Line 3, Para. 3 ) is closest in meaning to _.（分数：2.00）A.economicalB.wealthyC.miserableD.cheerful(3).Why do some wealthy people consider themselves unsucces
42、sful?（分数：2.00）A.They live a miserable life because of less effort.B.They cant enjoy frugal life, although they are rich.C.They are not rich enough by their own standards.D.They dont achieve the goal set by the society.(4).From the counselors words, we can infer that _.（分数：2.00）A.we can set high goal
43、s and try to work for it.B.success means taking a walk in the parkC.success means trying ones best at what one really likes.D.we are successful if we try our best to do something.(5).Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?（分数：2.00）A.The Way to Achieve SuccessB.The Way to Set
44、GoalsC.The Definition of SuccessD.The importance of goals九、Text 3(总题数：1，分数：10.00)Elderly people respond best to a calm and unhurried environment. This is not always easy to provide as their behavior can sometimes make people impatient. If they get excited or upset then they may become more confused
45、and more difficult to look after. Although sometimes it can be extremely difficult, it is best to be patient and not get upset yourself. You should always encourage elderly people to do as much as possible for themselves but be ready to lend a helping hand when necessary. At the same time it is also
46、 important that you dont make them feel like children.Failing memory makes it very difficult for the person to recall all the basic kinds of information we take for granted. The obvious way to help in this situation is to supply the information that is missing and help them make sense of what is goi
47、ng on. The information has to be constantly repeated to compensate for the poor memory. You must use every opportunity to provide information but remember to keep it simple and straightforward.The kinds of information that may be required are (1) who you are, (2) where you are, (3) where you are goi
48、ng, (4) what is happening and why and (5) whats to be done, e.g. “Good morning, Mum. This is Flona, your daughter. It is eight oclock so if you get up now we can have breakfast downstairs.“When the elderly person makes confused statements, e.g. about going out to his or her old employment or visitin
49、g a dead relative, correct in a calm matter-of-fact fashion: “Mo, you dont work in the office any more. Youre retired now. Will you come and help me with the dishes?“We rely heavily on the information provided by signposts, clocks, calendars and newspapers. These assist us to organize and direct our behavior. Confused elderly people need these aids all the time to make up for their poor memory. Encourage them to use and refer to reminder boards or diaries for important forthcoming events and label the contents of different c
