My first performance in front of an audience was coming up soon.
I tried as hard as I could to remain 16 , but I had an empty feeling in my stomach. I stared down at my sweat-covered, 17 hands. I looked up again at the audience, realizing that these were 18 people. They were not just my mum and dad, who 19 say, "Good job!" even if I did the entire piece badly.
What if I had the wrong music? What if I played the wrong notes?
As it 20 , I was never able to answer these questions because the spotlight was 21 for me. I grasped my hands tightly together, drying off the sweat.
Slowly I walked to the mulberry piano in the 22 of the room. It contained 88 demanding keys, which were waiting impatiently to be played．I took a deep breath and sat down. 23 , I opened the music. Next, I rested my still shaking hands on the ivory keys.
As my fingers played across the keys, I was becoming more 24 of my preparation for this moment. But the memory of my year of training came flooding back. I knew that I had practiced this piece 25 that I could play it backwards if 26 .
Although at one point I accidentally played two keys 27 the intended one, I continued to move my fingers automatically . My eyes burned holes into the page in front of me. There was no 28 that I was going to lose my concentration. To keep this promise to myself, I leaned 29 and focused carefully on the music.
30 I came to the end of the page, a warning 31 inside my head: DON' T MAKE A MISTAKE WHEN YOU TURN THE PAGE!
Needless to say, I 32 myself with all my heart and mind．And, proud of my "page- turning" skill, I finished the rest of the piece 33 making a single mistake.
After the final note died away, a 34 went into action inside my head．I had made it. I had conquered the 35 .

I came to
study in the
After the accident, my roommate called a doctor for me. I was very grateful and determined to repay him one day. But the next day, he asked me to pay him $200 for what he had done. I was astonished. He had good reasons to charge me, he said. And if I wanted to collect money from the person who was responsible for my injury, I’d have to have a good lawyer. And only a good doctor can help me get a good lawyer. Now that he had helped me find a good doctor, it was only fair that I should pay him.
But every time I went to see the doctor, I had to wait about 50 minutes. He would see two or three patients at the same time, and often stop treating one so as to see another. Yet he charged me $115 each time. The final examination report consisted of ten lines, and it cost me $215.
My lawyer was all smiles the first time we met. But after that he avoided seeing me at all. He knew very well the other party was responsible for the accident, yet he hardly did anything. He simply waited to collect his money. He was so irresponsible that I decided to dismiss him. And he made me pay him $770.
Now I had to
act as my own lawyer. Due to my inexperience, I told the insurance company the
date I was leaving
My
experiences taught me two things about

Remember how great exercise was when you were a little kid? Back then, racing around the playground or skipping rope for hours, you weren’t thinking fitness, you were thinking entertainment. But in this age of high-tech home equipment and underused gym memberships, the simple joy of jumping rope has been forgotten. Rediscovering it will give you a total-body exercise you can find.
Although considered an excellent form of exercise, jumping rope has never gained widespread acceptance because of two fundamental reasons. First, most people recognize jumping rope as an excellent form of cardiovascular (心血管的) exercise, but they also believe that it is simply too difficult. In other words, they don’t think they’ll be able to continue jumping for the near 20 minutes that it takes to achieve a beneficial physical outcome. Second, many view it as somewhat boring and overly repetitive --not as something fun or enjoyable.
As a matter of fact, jumping rope can be great fun if you find a proper way to practice it .Instead of doing the usual two-foot bounce over and over again, people good at rope-jumping often change their pattern every 10 or 20 jumps. A single bounce, a double?bounce, a skip, a knee-up, side swings, as well as a variety of other easy-to-learn free-style rope-jumping.
Now researchers are learning that jumping rope also prepares the brain for learning. It is an exercise allowing both brain hemispheres to perform in parallel to each other. In short , jumping rope can be a life-long activity requiring little equipment, time and space, yet leading to a much healthier life.
41. From the first paragraph we learn that .
A. jumping rope has faded from people’s memories
B. people now have more advanced equipment
C. racing around the playground was preferred
D. people now like to have exercise in a gym
42. Rope jumping has not spread widely because .
A. it benefits the cardiovascular system B. it is neither easy nor enjoyable
C. it is considered boring and repetitive D. it requires little equipment, time and space
43. The first sentence in the 3rd paragraph implies .
A. there is only one proper way to follow B. the usual way should not be used
C. the easiest way is always the best D. there are many ways to follow
44. According to the researchers , jumping rope .
A. only prepares the brain for learning
B. is suitable for students only
C. helps both brain hemispheres work together
D. can be dangerous for old people
45. What is the author’s attitude towards rope jumping?
A. He is arguing against it. B. He is in favor of it.
C. He is sitting on the fence of it. D. He is not clear about it.
C
Each year, road accidents kill a million people and injure millions more. The economic costs are greatest for developing countries. Earlier this year, the United Nations called for a campaign to improve road safety.
One way to
avoid accidents is better driving. Another is better roads and bridges.
Engineers in the
Professor
Paul Tikalsky leads the experiments by a team at
Concrete is made of stone, sand, water and cement (水泥). The materials in the cement hold the concrete together. Ancient Romans built with concrete. Yet strengthened concrete bridges did not appear until the late 1800. People keep looking for new ways to improve concrete. Professor Tikalsky says it is one of the most complex of all chemical systems.
The new mixtures designed by his team contain industrial waste products. He says these make the concrete better able to resist damage from water and salt over time. One of the products is fly ash. This is released into the air as pollution when coal is burned.
Professor Tikalsky says particles（颗粒）of fly ash are almost exactly the same size and chemical structure as Portland cement. This is the most costly material in concrete. So using fly ash to replace some of it would save money.
Over the next
two years, engineers will study ten bridges in
The federal
government is paying for part of the research. Engineers anywhere can use the
technology. Professor Tikalsky says some of the ideas have already been put to
use in
46. Why did the United Nations launch the campaign ?
A. Because the United Nations wanted to reduce road accidents and economic costs.
B. Because two million people were killed in the accidents.
C. Because engineers wanted to design ten new concrete mixtures.
D. Because the United Nations made bridges of the new mixtures which could last for about 20 to 35 years.
47. What does the underlined word“This” in the sixth paragraph refer to?
A. Fly ash. B. Portland cement. C. Sand. D. Chemical.
48. Which of the following statements is TRUE?
A. Ten new
concrete bridges have already been built in the
B. A new concrete bridge could last 50 more years than an ordinary concrete one.
C. People didn’t know how to build with cement until the late 1800s.
D. Water and salt won’t do and damage to bridges over time.
49. What can we conclude from the passage?
A. Engineers have to pay a lot of money to use the new bridge technology.
B.
C. Bridges built with fly ash are cheaper than common bridges.
D. Fly ash is much more expensive than Portland cement.
50. What does the passage mainly tell us?
A. The causes of road accidents.
B. The advantages of fly ash.
C. The measures of avoiding road accidents.
D. Latest information about long-life concrete bridges.
D
People appear to be born to calculate. The numerical skills of children develop so early that it is easy to imagine an internal clock of mathematical maturity guiding their growth. Not long after learning to walk and talk, they can set the table with impressive accuracy―one plate, one knife, one spoon, one fork for each of the five chairs. Soon they are capable of noting that they have placed five knives, spoons and forks on the table, and a bit later, that this amounts to fifteen pieces of silverware. Having thus mastered addition, some people expect that if a child were on a desert island at birth and brought back seven years later, he or she could enter a second-grade mathematics class without any serious problems of intellectual adjustment.
Of course, the truth is not so simple.This century, the work of psychologists has cast light on the unnoticeable forms of daily learning on which intellectual progress depends .Children were observed as they slowly grasped ?or, as the case might be, came across ?concepts that adults take for granted, as they refused, for instance, to admit that quantity is unchanged as water pours from a short thick glass into a tall thin one. Psychologists have since proved that young children, asked to count the pencils in a pile, readily report the number of blue or red pencils, but must be persuaded into finding the total. Such studies have suggested that the most basic parts of mathematics are mastered gradually, and with effort. They have also suggested that the very concept of abstract numbers―the idea of a oneness, a twoness, a threeness that applies to any class of object and is a prerequisite(先决条件) for doing anything more mathematically demanding than setting a table ?is itself far from natural born.
51. What does the passage mainly discuss?
A. The development of mathematical ability in children.
B. Tendency in teaching children mathematics.
C. The use of calculating in child psychology.
D. The basic concepts of mathematics that children must learn.
52. From the passage we can know that children .
A. have an internal clock of mathematical maturity guiding their growth.
B. begin to master simple counting soon after they learn to walk and talk.
C. are born with numerical skills.
D. can not understand abstract numbers.
53. In this passage the author’s attitude towards “children numerical skills” is .
A. critical B. approving C. questioning D. objective
54. According to the study of psychologists, children that quantity is unchanged as water pours from one glass to another with a different shape.
A. did not think B. took it for granted C. finally admitted D. could never understand
55. Which of the following statements would the author most likely disapprove of?
A. Children learn mathematics naturally and easily.
B. Children learn to add before they learn to subtract.
C. Most people follow the same pattern of mathematical development.
D. Mathematical development is unnoticeable and gradual.

第一节: 阅读表达（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）
阅读下面的短文，并根据短文后的要求答题（请注意问题后的字数要求）。
Self-confidence is the difference between feeling unstoppable and feeling scared out of your brains. Your feeling of yourself has an enormous impact on what others think of you. The more self-confidence you have, the more likely it is that you’ll succeed.
Although many of the factors affecting self-confidence are beyond your control, there are a number of things you can consciously do to build self-confidence.
Although clothes don’t make the man, they certainly affect the way he feels about himself. No one is more conscious of your physical appearance than you are. When you don’t look good, it changes the way you carry yourself and have an effect on other people. Use this to your advantage by taking care of personal appearance. In most cases, important improvements can be made by bathing and shaving frequently, wearing clean clothes, and knowing the information of the latest styles.
One of the easiest ways to tell how a person feels about himself/herself is to examine his/her walk. Is it slow？Tired? Painful? Or is it energetic and purposeful? People with confidence walk quickly. They have places to go, people to see, and important work to do. Even if you aren’t in a hurry, you can increase your self-confidence by putting some pep in your step. Walking 25% faster will make you look and feel more important.
Similarly, the way a person carries himself/herself tells a story. People with lethargic(无精打采的) movements display a lack of self-confidence. They aren’t enthusiastic about what they are doing and they don’t consider themselves important. By practicing good gesture, you’ll automatically feel more confident. Stand up straight, keep your head up, and make eye contact. You’ll make a positive impression on others and instantly feel more sure of your ability.
