10.How to Get Motivated
You must think positively no matter how big a challenge is.If you think positively,you will feel better and will be able to overcome challenges in life.Furthermore,meet an optimistic person and you will notice how motivated he is towards life.(16)E On the other hand,negative thinking will only cause more depression in your life.
(17)D Don't be jealous of those who are successful around you.Instead,take inspiration from their success stories.This will make you motivated to get what you want.Moreover,you can also read books that are written by inspirational and successful personalities.
There is a famous quote that reads,"A healthy body leads to a healthy mind."If your mind is healthy,you will think positively.(18)A Whether you are working out in the gym or going for a long walk,make sure that you incorporate an exercise plan in your daily routine.
(19)C Therefore,it is important to break your routine and do something different.Whether you go on a vacation or learn a new skill,it is important to break the monotony(单调)in your daily life.
Human beings are extraordinary individuals who are able to complete the hardest tasks and achieve the impossible.It is important to get out of your comfort zone and try something different.(20)F
A.Therefore,it is important to exercise regularly.
B.Keeping yourself motivated is not a difficult task.
C.You might lose motivation by doing the same things over and over again.
D.One of the best ways to motivate oneself is to get inspired by others'success.
E.Remember,positive thinking gives you motivation to achieve what you want.
F.By doing so you will get motivated and your attitudes towards life will be positive.
G.Do things that make you happy and find inspiration in possibly everything you see.

20.A planet more like Earth than any yet discovered has been identified as a potential future home for mankind.Kepler 22b contains both land and water and has temperatures which average around 72 degrees (22 Celsius).It also contains the right atmosphere to potentially support life.It is,however,600 light years from Earth.
The planet,where a year lasts 290 days,was first spotted two years ago.However,NASA scientists using the agency's Kepler space telescope have now concluded that it offers the best hope for future human habitation outside the Solar System.
One of the key factors for a planet to be habitable is that it remains about the right distance from its main star to be neither too cold nor too hot.
Bill Borucki,Kepler principal investigator at NASA Research Centre,said,"We are certain that it is in the habitable zone and if it has a surface it ought to have a nice temperature.
There are now three planets outside the system,known as exoplanets,which experts believe could potentially be occupied by future generations.

68.Which of the following is most likely to support life for a planet?D
    A.It has 290 days in a year.
    B.It contains both water and land and the right atmosphere.
    C.Its temperatures average 72 degrees (22 Celsius).
    D.It remains proper distance from its star to have a nice temperature.
69.What does the new planet have in common with the earth?A
    A.They are habitable for mankind.
    B.They exist in the Solar System.
    C.They have almost the same days in a year.
    D.They are both 600 light years from the sun.
70.The passage is written to make it known to readers thatB.
    A.there are now three more planets inside the system
    B.NASA's Kepler space telescope finds a"new Earth"
    C.Bill Borucki has confirmed his investigation
    D.it has been two years since a new planet was spotted.
18.So hungry do some plants get that they eat flies,spiders,and even small frogs.What's more amazing is that these plants occur naturally (in special environments) in every state.In fact,they're found on every continent except Antarctica.
You've probably seen a Venus'flytrap.It's often sold in museum gift stores,department stores,and even supermarkets.A small plant,it grows 6to 8inches tall in a container.At the end of its stalks (茎) are specially modified leaves that act like traps.Inside each trap is a lining of tiny trigger (触发) hairs.When an insect lands on them,the trap suddenly shuts.Over the course of a week or so,the plant feeds on its catch.
The Venus'flytrap is just one of more than 500species of meat-eating plants,says Barry Meyers-Rice,the editor of the International Carnivorous ( 食肉的 ) Plant Society's Newsletter.Note:Despite any science-fiction stories you might have read,no meat-eating plant does any danger to humans.
Dr.Meyers-Rice says a plant is meat-eating,only if it does all four of the following:"attract,kill,digest,and absorb"some form of insects,including flies,butterflies,and moths.Meat-eating plants look and act like other green plants---well,most of the time.
All green plants make sugar through a process called photosynthesis (光合作用).Plants use the sugar to make food.What makes"meat-eating"plants different is their bug-catching leaves.They need insects for one reason:nitrogen (氮).Nitrogen is a nutrient that they can't obtain any other way.While almost all green plants on our planet get nitrogen from the soil,"meat-eating"plants can't.They live in places where nutrients are hard or almost impossible to get from the soil because of its acidity.So they've come to rely on getting nitrogen from insects and small animals.In fact,nutrient-rich soil is poisonous to"meat-eating"plants.Never fertilize them!But don't worry,either,if they never seem to catch any insects.They can survive,but they'll grow very slowly.
24.According to the passage,carnivorous plantsB.
A.only grow in wild field    
B.cannot grow on Antarctica
C.are as common as flies

A.its numerous long and thin stalks
B.a container where it grows
C.the lining of tiny trigger hairs
D.its insect-catching leaves

A.carnivorous plants are dangerous
B.carnivorous plants are harmless to humans
C.carnivorous plants occasionally eat books
D.carnivorous plants are fictional
27.In the eyes of the author,which of the following statements is TRUE?A
A.Carnivorous plants can grow in nutrient-poor soil.
B.Carnivorous plants cannot grow in acid soil.
C.Carnivorous plants will die if they cannot catch any insects.
D.Carnivorous plants can get nitrogen from nutrient-rich soil.
5.Scientific experiments can sometimes go wrong and when they do the results may range from the disastrous to the troubling.One such experiment took place in South America about fifty years ago.Whether its final consequences will cause serious damage or nothing more than a small trouble still remains to be seen.
The story began in 1956when an American scientist working in Brazil decided to solve the problem of increasing the productivity of that country's bees.He imported a very active type of African bee from Tanzania and mated  (交配)  it with the more easy-going native variety to produce a new kind of bees.The new bees worked harder and produced twice as much honey.It seemed that Professor Kerr,for that was the scientist's name,had a total success on his hands.
Then things began to go wrong.For some reason as yet unseen,but perhaps as a result of something in their environment,the new bees began to develop extremely attacking personalities.They became bad-tempered and easy to be angry,attacked the native bees and drove them from their living places.
But worse was to follow.Having taken over the countryside,the new bees,with their dangerous stings (叮),began to attack its neighbours--cats,dogs,horses,chickens and finally man himself.A long period of terror began that has so far killed a great number of animals and about 150human beings.
This would have been bad enough if the bees had stayed in Brazil.But now they are on the move,heading northwards in countless millions towards Central and North America,and moving at the alarming speed of 200miles a year.The countries that lie in their path are naturally worried because it looks as if nothing can be done to stop them.

32.The results of the South American experimentD.
A.have caused a serious trouble
B.have proved to be wrong
C.are highly thought of     
D.are not yet certain
33.The experiment mentioned in this passage was designed toA.
A.increase the amount of honey in Brazil
B.make Brazilian bees more easy-going
C.increase the number of bees in Brazil
D.make African bees less active
34.Which of the following may be the cause of the new bees'attacking personalities?C
A.Their production of honey.
B.Their hard work.
C.Their living environment.
D.Their bad temper.
35.The last paragraph implies thatB.
A.the bees have been driven to Central and North America
B.the bees may bring about trouble in more countries
C.the bees must be stopped from moving north
D.the bees prefer to live in Brazil.
15.The Israeli farmers who pioneered the revolutionary technology known as drip irrigation weren't trying to solve one of the world's most urgent problems.They were just trying to survive.They lived in the desert,and they didn't have enough water to grow their crops.
In its simplest form,it was little more than a pipe with holes in it.But behind each hole was a hi-tech dripper that let out just the right amount of water.Snaked along a row of crops so that the holes were positioned directly above the roots,the pipe could direct each precious drop of water directly to the plants,getting a bigger harvest while using a very small amount of the water.
Over time,the farmers improved upon the technology,perfecting the drippers that regulated the flow of water,and connecting the pipelines to computers that could determine exactly how much water each plant needed and when.
If the global population kept growing,the rest of the world would increasingly resemble their little community in the desert.So they began selling their irrigation systems in other parts of the world,eventually expanding to more than 110countries.Netafirm,the company says it's lifting people out of poverty and conserving water at a time when the importance of doing so has never been clearer.
The mass adoption of drip irrigation won't save the world by itself.To avoid the coming catastrophe,nearly everybody will,in some way,have to do more with less,perhaps through accepting and using other new technologies.Otherwise,it's going to get ugly.
32.Why is drip irrigation called"the revolutionary technology"?C
A.It saves the world all by itself.        
B.It is controlled by computers.
C.It makes irrigation more effective.    
D.It provides deserts with water.
33.What does"one of the world's most urgent problems"in Paragraph l refer to?A
A.lacking water.  
B.lacking labor.    
C.lacking food. 
D.lacking energy.
34.How does the drip irrigation help farmers with crops?B
A.By drilling holes on the pipes.    
B.By regulating water via drippers.
C.By snaking pipes along the crops.
D.By placing pipes just above roots.
35.Which of the following will be the best slogan for Netafirm to sell the irrigation systems?A
A.Less water;More harvest.    
B.New technology;New world.
C.More grain;Less starvation.
D.Water saving;World surviving.
2.A group of kids at McIntyre Elementary School,in Pittsburgh,Pennsylvania,have created a special bench to make sure their fellow classmates aren't left out on the playground.Called the"Buddy Bench",students can use the seat as a safe and supportive place to let others know they'd like to be included in playtime,but may be too shy to ask.
The concept of the Buddy Bench is simple:Students who want to partake in playground games and activities,but may feel hesitant,can take a seat,which signifies(表明) to other children on the playground that they may need something extra to encourage them to participate.
The idea for the bench came about last year,when Farrell,school counselor at McIntyre Elementary,was conducting a leadership group to help students overcome shyness and gain confidence.Four fourth-grade students came up with the idea for the Buddy Bench in this workshop,and worked with Farrell to draft a letter to present to the Parent Teacher Staff Organization to make the bench a reality.The PTSO approved the students'proposal,and installed(安装) a bright metal bench with a cheerful sign that reads"Buddy Bench"on the school's playground.
Since it was installed on Nov.16,the bench has been effective.The simple concept has resonated with(引起共鸣) the students,and already has created a better environment within the school community.
"Each day,I go to see the buddy bench working,"Farrell said."The lessons they are learning now will benefit them their entire lives.It is simply a beautiful example of kids wanting to be kind and continue to be kind every day."
32.Who is Buddy Bench created for?C
A.Students who love games and activities.
B.Students who want and continue to be kind.
C.Students who are left out on the playground.
D.Students who are in Farrell's leadership group.
33.Who thought of the idea for the Buddy Bench?B
A.Farrell.
B.Four students.
C.The PTSO.
D.Some parents.
34.What does the word"they"in the last paragraph refer to?C
A.The PTSO.
B.Buddy Bench users.
C.The workshop members.
D.Farrell and teachers.
35.Which of the following statements can show"the bench has been effective"?D
A.More and more creative ideas have come up.
B.The workshop kids have set a good example.
C.The PTSO has decided to provide more buddy benches.
D.Some shy students have found friends on the playground.
