9、 surely heard them. Maybe youve used them to describe 37 . These comments may come from stories about us that have been 38 for yearsoften from 39 childhood. These stories may have no 40 in fact. But they can set low expectations for us. As a child, my mother said to me, “Marshall, you have no mechan

On the positive side, I 45 down, “research, writing, analysis, and speaking.” On the 46 side, I wrote, “I ha

Bob then asked, “ 49 is it that you can solve 50 mathematical problems, but you cant solve simple mechanical problems ” Suddenly I realized that
13、 I didnt 51 from some sort of genetic defect. I was just living out expectations that I had chosen to 52 . At that point, it wasnt just my family and friends who had been 53 my belief that I was mechanically hopeless. And it wasnt just the Army test, either. I was the one who kept telling myself, “Y
14、ou cant do this!” I realized that as long as I kept saying that, it was going to remain true. 54 , if we dont treat ourselves as if we have incurable genetic defects, we can do well in almost 55 we choose. 【小题1】 A away B down C up D off A yourself B myself C them D others A said B repeated C spread

18、1】 .D 【小题 1】 .B 【小题 1】 .C 阅读理解 After battling hard times and danger for over nine months, British teenager Mike Perham made history last month as the youngest person to sail solo around the world. The 17-year-old made the record after he cleared the Panama Canal and then sailed through the Caribbean
19、 and got home across the Atlantic. Mike is only three months younger than Zac Sunderland, the 17-year-old American boy who had taken the crown as the youngest solo around-the-world sailor in July. The two youngsters met in Cape Town in South Africa as they crossed the globe in different directions.
20、Mike insisted they were not rivals(竞争对手 ). “No. Its two teenagers going out there, living their dream and having the adventure of a lifetime,” he said. Mike may be young, but he is no stranger to sailing adventures. He picked up the hobby at the age of 6 when his father took him out in a small boat
21、on a local lake. Father and son sailed separate boats across the Atlantic when Mike was 14, making him the youngest person to cross that ocean solo. That record gave him the taste for this even greater challenge. On the recent journey, the scariest moment for Mike came when his sailboat was hit by s
22、torms in the southern Indian Ocean. “We were picked up by what felt like a 60-foot wave and threw down on our side at 90 degrees,” he said. “It felt like I was going right over. Stuff was flying around and I just thought Oh no.” At other times, he had to dive into the Pacific and fix problems. He ti
23、ed himself to the boat, jumped into the water and went to work with a knife in 30-second dives underneath the boat to cut a rope away. Mike said he felt proud that he made his dream come true. “Youve got to have confidence in yourself that you will make it,” he said. 【小题 1】 . Whats the main idea of

28、able pattern. In the first stage of our lives, we develop and grow, reaching toward the top of physical vitality (活力 ,生气 ). After we grow up, however, the body begins a process of gradually wearing out. A new awareness of physical fitness may help lengthen our years of health and vitality, yet nothi
29、ng we do will work to stop the unavoidable force of aging. Most of the changes of aging take place deep inside the body. The lungs become less able to take in oxygen. Powerful muscles gradually lose their strength. The heart loses power and pumps less blood. Bones grow easier to break. Finally, we m
30、eet a stress, a stress that is greater than our physical resistance. Often, it is only a minor accident or chance infection (a disease caused by virus), but this time, it brings life to an end. In 1932, a classic experiment nearly doubled the lifetime of rats, simply by cutting back the calories in
31、their diet. The reason for the effect was then unknown. Today, at the University of California at Berkley, Dr. Paul Seagle has also greatly lengthened the normal lifetime of rats. The result was achieved through a special protein limited diet, which had a great effect on the chemistry of the brain.
32、Seagle showed that within the brain, specific chemicals control many of the signals that influence aging. By changing that chemical balance, the clock of aging can be reset. For the first time, the mystery of why we age is being seriously challenged. Scientists in many fields are now making striking
33、 and far-reaching discoveries. An average lifetime lasts 75 years, yet in each of us lies a potential for a longer life. If we could keep the vitality and resistance to disease that we have at age twenty, we would live for 800 years. 【小题 1】 What does the underlined word “it” refer to A Physical vita

An independent jury then selected a shortlist of five film-makers. The winner was chosen from the shortlist by an audience
39、voting using their phones. New Platforms The awards highlight the increasing impact that mobile phones are making in the entertainment industry. Many grassroots filmmakers start out with short films. They are thwarted by the lack of opportunities to screen their work. Therefore, mobile phones are in
40、creasingly being seen as a new platform for these short works. It is a good place for anyone who wants to express themselves and find a way to have that expression be seen by a wide audience. Just think about how many people have mobile phones in the world! New Technology Advances MoFilm is pioneeri

Places of business that used to keep daytime “business hours” are now open late into the night. And on the Internet, the hour of the day and the day
47、 of the week have become irrelevant. A half century ago in the United States, most people experienced strong and precise dividing lines between days of rest and days of work, school time and summer time. Today the boundaries still exist, but they seem not clear. The law in almost all states used to
48、require stores to close on Sunday; in most, it no longer does. It used to keep the schools open in all seasons except summer; in most, it still does. And whether the work week should strengthen its legal limits, or whether it should become more “flexible,” is often debated. How should we, as a society, organize our time Should we go even further in relaxing the boundaries of time until we live in a world in which every minute is much like every other These are not easy questions even to ask. Part of the difficulty is that we rarely recognize the “law of time” even whe
