When a person feels li
15、ke running away from something he thinks will hurt him, we call this emotion fear. If the person wants to remove the danger by attacking it, we call the emotion anger. The emotions of joy and love are aroused when we think something can help us. An emotion does not have to be created by something in
16、 the outside world. It can be created by a persons thoughts.Everyone has emotions. Many psychologists believe that infants are born without emotions. They believe children learn emotions just as they learn to read and write. A growing child not only learns his emotions but learns how to act in certa
17、in situations because of an emotion.Psychologists think that there are two types of emotions; positive and negative. Positive emotions include love, liking, joy, delight and hope. They are aroused by something that appeals to a person. Negative emotions make a person unhappy or dissatisfied. They in
18、clude anger, fear, despair, sadness and disgust. In growing up, a person learns to cope with the negative emotions in order to be happy.Emotions may be weak or strong. Some strong emotions are so unpleasant that a person will try and means to escape from them. In order to feel happy, the person may
19、choose unusual ways to avoid the emotion. Strong emotions can make it hard to think and to solve problems. They may prevent a person from learning or paying attention to what he is doing. For example, a student taking an examination may be so worried about failing that he cannot think properly. The
20、worry drains valuable mental energy he needs for the examination.36 We learn from the passage that an emotion is created by something_.（A）one thinks bad or good（B） one feels in danger（C） one faces in the outside world（D）one tries to escape from real life37 Which of the following is NOT true?（A）Child
21、ren learn emotions as they grow up.（B） Babies are born with emotions.（C） Emotions fall into two types in general.（D）People can cope with the negative emotions in life.38 The author s purpose of writing this passage is to_.（A）explain why people have emotions（B） show how people avoid the negative emot
22、ions（C） explain what people should do before emotions（D）define and classify peoples emotions39 We can safely conclude that a student may fail in an exam if_.（A）he cannot think properly（B） he cant pay attention to it（C） he is not worried（D）he is not full of energy40 As used in the last sentence, the
23、word “drains“probably means_.（A）helps（B） ties（C） weakens（D）strengthens40 Do you ever automatically say “God bless you“ when someone sneezes? Did you ever cross your fingers when making a wish? Most people who do these things never think about why they do them. They just do them.But there is a reason
24、. Both acts are meant to insure good luck. They are little superstitions that have come down to us from an earlier time, when everybody believed in good and evil spirits. And even in our modern world, when men are traveling to the moon, we are still practicing some of these ancient habits in our dai
25、ly lives.In ancient times, men believed that the soul lived in the head. Every time someone sneezed, he was risking the danger of dislodging that soul and blowing it out the nose into the outside world. So, as insurance against a lost soul, people would say “God bless you“ to be sure that God would
26、catch the soul and return it to its rightful owner.Some people today toss a bit of salt over their left shoulder if they happen to spill any at the dinner table. This practice once had a serious purpose. In an earlier time, men believed that evil spirits always stood on their left side and good spri
27、ts on the right. So any time they spilled some of the precious stuff, they would throw a bit of it over their left shoulder to keep away the evil spirits.Since the evil spirits stood on the left, and the good spirits on the right, the right side was considered the lucky side of the body. Putting you
28、r best foot forward meant starting out on the lucky side, with your right foot first. That was a guarantee of good luck at whatever you were about to do. We still speak of “putting your best foot forward“ , although we dont always start walking with the right foot.41 The main idea of the passage is
29、that_.（A）people still believe in superstitions（B） there are reasons behind many superstitions（C） people today don t have superstitions（D）superstitions are foolish42 Ancient men believed that the soul lived in the_.（A）heart（B） stomach（C） head（D）feet43 Today, most people practice superstitions_.（A）wit

31、 true, you should_.（A）say “God bless you“（B） fling salt over your shoulder（C） put your best foot forward（D）cross your fingers45 We dont have beds in the spacecraft, but we do have sleeping bags. During the day, when we are working, we leave the bags tied to the wall, out of the way. At bedtime we un
32、tie them and take them wherever we ve chosen to sleep.On most spacecraft flights everyone sleeps at the same time. No one has to stay awake to watch over the spacecraft; the craft s computers call us on the radio.On the spacecraft, sleep-time doesn t mean nighttime. During each ninety-minute orbit(轨
33、道)the sun “ rises“ and shines through our windows for about fifty minutes, then it “ sets“ as the spacecraft takes us around the dark side of the Earth. To keep the sun out of our eyes, we wear black sleep masks.It is surprisingly easy to get comfortable and fall asleep in space. Every astronaut(宇航员
34、)sleeps differently: some sleep upside down, some sideways, and some right side up. When it s time to sleep, I take my bag, my sleep mask and my tape player with earphones and float(漂浮)up to the flight deck(驾驶舱 ). Then I get into the bag, and float in a sitting position just above a seat, right next
35、 to a window. Before I pull the mask down over my eyes, I relax for a while, listening to music and watching the Earth go by under me.46 When the astronauts are working, sleeping bags are fastened_.（A）on the wall（B） to their seats（C） onto the flight deck（D）anywhere they like47 Why can all the astron

38、ment Used by Astronauts（D）The Earth Seen from Outer Space50 To understand the marketing concept, it is only necessary to understand the difference between marketing and selling. Not too many years ago, most industries concentrated primarily on the efficient production of goods, and then relied on “
39、persuasive salesmanship“ to move as much of these goods as possible. Such production and selling focuses on the needs of the seller to produce goods and then convert them into money.Marketing, on the other hand, focuses on the wants of consumers. It begins with first analyzing the preferences and de
40、mands of consumers and then producing goods that will satisfy them. This eye-on-the-consumer approach is known as the marketing concept, which simply means that instead of trying to sell whatever is easiest to produce or buy for resale, the makers and dealers first endeavor to find out what the cons
41、umer wants to buy and then go about making it available for purchase.This concept does not imply that business is benevolent(慈善的)or that consumer satisfaction is given priority over profit in a company. There are always two sides to every business transaction the firm and the customerand each must b
42、e satisfied before trade occurs. Successful merchants and producers, however, recognize that the surest route to profit is through understanding and catering to customers. A striking example of the importance of its drink. The non-acceptance of the new flavor by a significant part of the public brou
43、ght about a prompt restoration(恢复)of the Classic Coke, which was then marketed alongside new.

45、h of these goods as possible“(Para. 1 , Lines 3 4)means “_“.（A）to sell the largest possible amount of goods（B） to transport goods as efficiently as possible（C） to dispose of these goods in large quantities（D）to redesign these goods for large-scale production54 What does the restoration of the Classi
46、c Coke best illustrate?（A）Traditional goods have a stronger appeal to the majority of people.（B） It takes time for a new product to be accepted by the public.（C） Consumers with conservative tastes are often difficult to please.（D）Products must be designed to suit the taste of the consumer.55 In disc
