1．Self-confidence，motivation，support and knowledge are the main factors determining if one succeeds or fails．Each of these factors influences our chances of success in a different way．（16）D．
Lack of self-confidence is probably the most dreadful enemy of success（17）G Even the most capable person is sure to fail with such an attitude．If it is your case too，improving your self-confidence is a must．
Motivation is equally as important as self-confidence．（18）FYou may even not try to achieve the goal that lies before you．It is important to find out what is the best motivation for you．If you have to do something that does not motivate you，just treat yourself with a reward after you succeed．Of course，this reward should consist of something that will motivate you to pursue（追求） a success．
（19）E While it is not a must for succeeding in your goals，a lack of support can often lead to failure．It is also true that some people cannot succeed without a proper support from their surroundings．These people often lose their motivation or worse，their self-confidence．If you know such a person，supporting him or her is a right thing to do．Also surround yourself with the right people．You will see the results soon．
Pursuing realistic goals is also important for a success．You should always make sure that your goals are achievable．（20）B Unrealistic goals usually lead to a fast failure and also make many people embarrassed．
A．As we know，many people try but do not succeed．
B．Consider all your knowledge and skills when setting up a goal．
C．Motivation is something in yourself that can push you forwards．
D．There are several main reasons why some people cannot succeed．
E．Supportive family and collective workplace are also very important．
F．Without it，you will not push yourself towards a better performance．
G．Thinking you are not good enough to achieve your goals is the same as deciding that you will not succeed．

20．The kids in this village wear dirty，ragged clothes．They sleep beside cows and sheep in huts（小屋） made of sticks and mud．They have no school．Yet they all can chant the English alphabet（字母表），and some can make words．
The key to their success：20tablet computers（平板电脑） dropped off in their Ethiopian village in February by a U．S．group called One Laptop Per Child．
The goal is to find out whether kids using today's new technology can teach themselves to read in places where no schools or teachers exist．The Massachusetts Institute of Technology researchers analyzing the project data say they're already amazed．"What I think has already happened is that the kids have already learned more than they would have in one year of kindergarten，"said Matt Keller，who runs the Ethiopia program．
The fastest learner-and the first to turn on one of the tablets-is 8-year-old Kelbesa Negusse．The device's camera was disabled to save memory，yet within weeks Kelbesa had figured out its workings and made the camera work．He called himself a lion，a marker of accomplishment in Ethiopia．
With his tablet，Kelbasa rearranged the letters HSROE into one of the many English animal names he knows．Then he spelled words on his own．"Seven months ago he didn't know any English．That's unbelievable，"said Keller．
The project aims to get kids to a stage called"deep reading，"where they can read to learn．It won't be in Amharic，Ethiopia's first language，but in English，which is widely seen as the ticket to higher paying jobs．
12．What can we infer from Keller's words in Paragraph 3？C
A．They need more time to analyze data．
B．More children are needed for the research．
C．He is confident about the future of the project．
D．The research should be carried out in kindergartens．
13．It amazed Keller that with the tablet Kelbesa couldA．
A．learn English words quickly
B．draw pictures of animals
C．write letters to researchers
D．make phone calls to his friends
14．How does the Ethiopia program benefit the kids in the village？B
A．It trains teachers for them．
B．It contributes to their self-study．
C．It helps raise their living standards．
D．It provides funds for building schools．
15．What is the aim of the project？C
A．To offer Ethiopians higher paying jobs．
B．To make Amharic widely used in the world．
C．To help Ethiopian kids read to learn in English．
D．To assist Ethiopians in learning their first language．

19．It was raining lightly when I（41）arrived（arrive） in Yangshuo just before dawn．But I didn't care．A few hours（42）before/earlier，I'd been at home in Hong Kong，with （43）its（it） choking smog．Here，the air was clean and fresh，even with the rain．
I'd skipped nearby Guilin，a dream place for tourists seeking the limestone mountain tops and dark waters of the Li River（44）which/thatare pictured by artists in so many Chinese（45）paintings（painting）．Instead，I‘d head straight for Yangshuo．For those who fly to Guilin，it's only an hour away（46）by car and offers all the scenery of the better-known city．
Yangshuo（47）is（be） really beautiful．A study of travelers（48）conducted（conduct） by the website TripAdvisor names Yangshuo as one of the top 10destinations in the world．And the town is fast becoming a popular weekend destination for people in Asia．Abercrombie & Kent，a travel company in Hong Kong，says it（49）regularly（regular） arranges quick getaways here for people（50）living（live） in Shanghai and Hong Kong．

18．Salvador Dali （1904-1989）was one of the most popular of modern artists．The Pompidou Centre in Paris is showing its respect and admiration for the artist and his powerful personality with an exhibition bringing together over 200paintings，sculptures，drawings and more．Among the works and masterworks on exhibition the visitor will find the best pieces，most importantly The Persistence of Memory．There is also L'Enigme sans Fin from 1938，works on paper，objects，and projects for stage and screen and selected parts from television programmes reflecting the artist's showman qualities．
The visitor will enter the World of Dali through an egg and is met with the beginning，the world of birth．The exhibition follows a path of time and subject with the visitor exiting through the brain．
The exhibition shows how Dali draws the viewer between two infinities （无限）．"From the infinity small to the infinity large，contraction and expansion coming in and out of focus：amazing Flemish accuracy and the showy Baroque of old painting that he used in his museum-theatre in Figueras，"explains the Pompidou Centre．
The fine selection of the major works was done in close collaboration （合作）with the Museo Nacional Reina Sofia in Madrid，Spain，and with contributions from other institutions like the Salvador Dali Museum in St．Petersburg．

13．When I was a child，I often dreamed of the time when I could leave home and escape to the city．We lived on a farm，in the winter especially，we were quite cut off from the outside world．As soon as I left school，I packed my bags and moved to the capital．However，I soon discovered that my life has its problems，too．
One big disadvantage is money．It costs so much to go out，not to mention basics like food and housing．Another disadvantage is pollution．I suffer from asthma（哮喘），and at times the air is so bad that I am afraid to go outside．Then there is the problem of traveling round．Although I have a car，I seldom use it because of the traffic jams．One choice is to go by bicycle，but that can be quite dangerous．
Of course there are advantages．First，there is so much to do in the city，whatever you tastes in culture or entertainment（娱乐活动）．Besides，there are wonderful jobs and greater chances of moving to a more important job or position．Finally，if you like shopping，the variety of goods is very surprising---and，what is more，shops are often only a short walk away．
Is life better then，in the city？Perhaps it is，when you are in your teens（十几岁）or twenties．However，as you get older，and especially if you have small children，the peace of the countryside may seem preferable．I certainly hope to move back there soon．
33．Which of the following is true about the writer？D
A．He is very old now．
B．He is in good health．
C．He prefers driving a car．
D．He lives in the city now．
34．In the passage，the writer tries toA．
A．express his opinions about way of life
B．describe his life in the countryside
C．an interest in the outside world
D．persuade the reader to live in the city
35．How is the passage mainly developed？B
A．By inferring．
B．By comparing．
C．By listing examples．
D．By giving explanations．
