They regard themselves as unlikely to succeed in college and often feel that there have been no accomplishments in their lives. In my first year of college especially, I saw people get themsel
13、ves down all too quickly. There were two students in my class who failed the first test and seemed to give up immediately. From that day on, they walked into the classroom carrying defeat on their shoulders the way other students carried textbooks under their arms. Both students hang on until about
14、mid-term. When they disappeared for good, no one took much notice, for they had already disappeared in spirit after that first test.They are not the only people in whom I have seen the self-doubt do its work. I have really wanted to shake them by the shoulders and say, “You are not dead. Be proud an
15、d pleased that you have brought yourself here to college. Be someone. Breathe. Hope. Act. “Such people should not use self-doubts as an excuse for not trying. They should pull themselves together and get to work. They should start taking notes in class and trying to learn. Above all, they should not
16、 give up without even trying.31 The underlined phrase “get themselves down“ (Para. 1) probably means_.（A）tell lies（B） lose confidence（C） avoid dangers（D）waste time32 When the two students dropped out, no one took much notice because_.（A）they had long lost heart in class performance（B） they were abse

19、ties（C） they didnt take notes in class（D）they didnt finish their study that term35 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 untie them and take them wherever weve chosen t
20、o sleep.On most spacecraft flights everyone sleeps at the same time. No one has to stay awake to watch over the spacecraft; the crafts computers call us on the radio.On the spacecraft, sleep-time doesnt mean nighttime. During each ninety-minute orbit (轨道) the sun “rises“ and shines through our windo
21、ws 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) sleeps differently: some sleep upside down, s
22、ome 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 to a window. Before I pull the mask down o
23、ver my eyes, I relax for a while, listening to music and watching the Earth go by under me.36 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 like37 Why can all the astronauts sleep at the same time?（A）They have to
24、 follow the same timetable.（B） The radio will take care of the aircraft for them.（C） There are enough sleeping bags in the spacecraft.（D）There is no need for them to watch over the spacecraft.38 To relax himself before sleep, the writer often_.（A）makes a bed（B） gets into his bag（C） listens to music（
25、D）wears a sleep mask39 How long does it take the spacecraft to go round the Earth?（A）Forty minutes.（B） Fifty minutes.（C） Ninety minutes.（D）Twenty-four hours.40 The best title for this passage is_.（A）Traveling in Space（B） Sleeping in the Spacecraft（C） Equipment Used by Astronauts（D）The Earth Seen fro
26、m Outer Space40 By far the most common snake in Britain is the adder(蝰蛇). In Scotland, in fact, there are no other snakes at all. The adder is also the only British snake with a poisonous bite. It can be found almost anywhere, but prefers sunny hillsides and rough open country, including high ground
27、. In Ireland there are no snakes at all.Most people regard snake bites as a fatal misfortune, but not all bites are serious and very few are fatal. Sometimes attempts at emergency treatment turn out to be more dangerous than the bite itself, with amateurs (外行) heroically, but mistakenly, trying do-i
28、t-yourself surgery and other unnecessary measures.All snakes have small teeth, so it follows that all snakes can bite, but only the bite of the adder presents any danger. British snakes are shy animals and are far more frightened of you than you could possibly be of them. The adder will attack only
29、if it feels threatened, as can happen if you take it by surprise and step on it accidentally or if you try to catch it or pick it up, which it dislikes intensely. If it hears you coming, it will normally get out of the way as quickly as it can, but adders cannot move very rapidly and may attack befo
30、re moving if you are very close.The effect of a bite varies considerably. It depends upon several things, one of which is the body-weight of the person bitten. The bigger the person is, the less harmful the bite is likely to be, which is why children suffer far more seriously from snake bites than a
31、dults. A healthy person will also have better resistance against the poison.Very few people actually die from snake bites in Britain, and though these bites can make some people very ill, there are probably just as many cases of bites having little or no effect, as there are of serious illness.41 Wh
32、ich of the following statements is NOT true?（A）The adder is the only poisonous snake in Britain.（B） In Scotland there are no other snakes except the adder.（C） Snake bites seem more dangerous than they actually are.（D）Peoples attempts at emergency treatment are utterly unnecessary.42 Adders are most
33、likely to be found_.（A）in wilder parts of Britain and Ireland（B） in Scotland and nowhere else（C） on uncultivated land throughout Britain except Ireland（D）in shady fields in England43 We are told that British snakes are_.（A）afraid of human beings（B） poisonous including the adder（C） dangerous except t
34、he adder（D）friendly towards human beings44 If an adder senses your approaching, it will probably_.（A）attack you immediately .（B） disappear very quickly（C） wait to frighten you（D）move out of the way45 According to the passage, a snake bite is_.（A）more harmful to a healthy man than to a sick man（B） le
35、ss harmful to an adult than to a child（C） more dangerous than any serious illness（D）always fatal in Britain45 Social customs and ways of behaving change. Things which were considered impolite many years ago are now acceptable. Just a few years ago, it was considered impolite behavior for a man to sm
36、oke on the street. No man who thought of himself as being a gentleman would make a fool of himself by smoking when a lady was in a room.Customs also differ from country to country. Does a man walk on the left or the right of a woman in your country? Or doesnt it matter? Should you use both hands whe
37、n you are eating? Should leave one in your lap or on the table?The Americans and the British not only speak the same language but also share a large number of social customs. For example, in both America and England people shake hands when they meet each other for the first time. Also, most Englishm
38、en will open a door for a woman or offer their seat to a woman, and so will most Americans. Promptness (准时) is important both in England and in America. That is, if a dinner invitation is for 7 o clock, the dinner guest either arrives close to that time or calls up to explain his delay.The important
39、 thing to remember about social customs is not to do anything that might make other people feel uncomfortableespecially if they are your guests. When the food was served, one of the guests started to eat his peas with a knife. The other guests were amused or shocked, but the host calmly picked up hi
40、s knife and began eating in the same way. It would have been bad manners to make his guest feel foolish or uncomfortable.46 If one has accepted a dinner invitation, what should he do if he is to be late for the dinner?（A）He should find an excuse.（B） He should ask for excuse.（C） He should say sorry.（
41、D）He should telephone to explain his being late.47 “It would have been bad manners to make his guests feel foolish or uncomfortable.“ “Bad manners“ means_.（A）ugly（B） dishonest（C） impolite（D）shameful48 Which of the following do you think is the best title for this passage?（A）Social Customs（B） Social
42、Life（C） American and British Customs（D）Promptness Is Important49 According to the text, the best host_.（A）tries his best to make his guests feel comfortable（B） makes his guests feel excited（C） tries to avoid being naughty to his guests（D）tries to avoid being foolish50 The author of this article may
43、agree with which of the following?（A）The guest who ate his peas with a knife.（B） The other guests who were amused or shocked.（C） The host who picked up his knife and began eating in the same way.（D）None of the above.二、Cloze50 Children model themselves largely on their parents. They do so mainly thro
44、ugh identification. Children identify【C1】_ a parent when they believe they have the qualities and feelings that are【C2】_ of that parent. The things parents do and sayand the【 C3】_ they do and say to them therefore strongly influence a child s【C4】_ .However, parents must consistently behave like the
45、type of【C5】_ they want their child to become.A parents actions【C6】_ affect the self-image that a child forms【 C7】_ identification. Children who see mainly positive qualities in their【 C8】_ will likely learn to see themselves in a positive way. Children who observe chiefly【C9】_ qualities in their par
46、ents will have difficulty【C10】_ positive qualities in themselves. Children may【C11】_ their self-image, however, as they become increasingly【 C12】_ by peers groups standards before they reach 13.Isolated events, 【C13 】_ dramatic ones, do not necessarily have a permanent【C14】_ on a childs behavior. Ch
47、ildren interpret such events according to their established attitudes and previous training. Children who know they are loved can, for example, accept the divorce of their parents or a parents early【 C15】_ .But if children feel unloved, they may interpret such events as a sign of rejection or punish
