As a result, I think many people get depressed when they lose focus or motivation because they think that successful people never lack motivation that they seem to be missing. But thats exactly the opposite of what this coach was saying.When I was an athlete, I loved going to practice the week after a big win. Who wouldnt? Your coach is happy, your teammates are excited, and you feel like you can beat anyone. As an entrepreneur, I love working when customers are rolling in and things are going well. Getting results has a way of pushing you forward.But what about when youre bored? What about when the work isnt easy? What about when it feels like nobody is paying attention or youre not getting the results you want? Its the ability to work when work isnt easy that makes the difference.If you look at the people who are consistently achieving their goals, you start to realize that its not the events or the results that make them different. Its their commitment to the process. They fall in love with the daily practice.So, fall in love with boredom. Fall in love with repetition and practice. Fall in love with the process of what you do and let the results take care of themselves.24. What was the authors attitude towards the coachs added answer?A. He doubted it. B. He argued against it.C. He was surprised at it. D. He was uninterested in it.25. The coach supposes successful people _.A. can avoid negative emotions.B. can keep themselves inspiredC. have a real enthusiasm for their work.D. will find ways to work through boredom.26. The author mentions his own experience to show _.A. the way of becoming successfulB. the importance of getting results.C. the willingness to work hard when you feel motivated.D. the difficulty in keeping working when you are bored.27. The text inspires people to _.A. value motivation. B. live with repetition.C. set themselves goals. D. develop a good habit.COn her first morning in America last summer, my daughter went out to explore her new neighborhood alone, without even telling my wife or me. Of course we were worried; we had just moved from Berlin, and she was just 8. But when she came home, we realized we had no reason to panic. Beaming with pride, she told us how she had discovered the little park around the corner, and had made friends with a few local dog owners.When this story comes up in conversations with American friends, we usually meet with polite disbelief. Most are horrified by the idea that their children might roam(閑逛) around without adult supervision(監(jiān)管).A study by the University of California has found that American kids spend 90 percent of their free time at home, often in front of the TV or playing video games. Such narrowing of childrens world has happened across the developed world. But German parents are generally much more accepting of letting children take some risks.“We are depriving(剝奪) them of opportunities to learn how to take control of their own lives,” writes Peter Gray, a research professor at Boston College. He argues that this increases the chance that they will suffer from anxiety, depression, and various other mental disorders, which have gone up dramatically in recent decades(十年).I am no psychologist like Professor Gray, but I know I wont be around forever to protect my girls from the challenges life holds in store for them. And by giving kids more control over their lives, they learn to have more confidence in their own abilities.28. Hearing the authors daughter exploring the new neighborhood alone, his Americanfriends feel_.A. worried B. proud C. doubtful D. terrified29. We can conclude from Paragraph 3 that _.A. American kids enjoy playing at homeB. German parents are less protective than American parentsC. German kids like taking risks more than American kidsD. American parents dont limit their childrens activities in their leisure time30. Its implied from Professor Grays words that _.A. parents should always be around their children to protect them from risksB. more and more parents suffer from mental problemsC. children are having more opportunities to take control of their livesD. giving children more freedom is beneficial to their mental development31. Which of the following words can best describe the authors parenting?A. Open-minded. B. Irresponsible. C. Careless. D. Protective.DPeople with an impulsive(沖動(dòng)的) personality refer to those who tend to do things without considering the possible dangers or problems first. According to a new study by researchers at the University of Georgia, such people may be more likely to have food addiction. The study found that people exhibiting impulsive behavior werent necessarily overweight, but impulsiveness was related to a direct relationship with food, and therefore, less healthy weight.Food addiction has been compared to addictive drug use. Studies have linked the dopamine (多巴胺) release that occurs after tasting delicious food to the dopamine release that happens when people consume other addictive substances.Impulsive behavior involves several personality traits (特點(diǎn)). Two of these traits, known as negative urgency and lack of perseverance, were particularly associated with food addiction and high BMI (身體質(zhì)量指數(shù)) during the study.Negative urgency is characterized by the tendency to behave impulsively when experiencing negative emotions. Some people might drink alcohol or take drugs. For others, it could mean eating to feel better. Lack of perseverance is when a person has a hard time finishing hard or boring tasks. People with a lack of perseverance might have difficulty attempting to change addictive eating behavior, which could also cause obesity.“Impulsiveness might be one reason why some people eat in an addictive way despite motivation to lose weight,” said Dr. Ashley Gearhardt, a clinical psychologist. He was involved in developing the Yale Food Addiction Scale in aid of those people. “We are theorizing that if food addiction is really a thing, then our measure, the Yale Food Addiction Scale, should be related to helping control impulsive action,” said Gearhardt.Clinical psychologist Dr. James MacKillop, whose lab was conducting the study, believes that therapies（治療，療法）used to treat addictive drug behavior could help people who suffer from addictive eating habits.“Most of the programs for weight loss at this point focus on the most obvious things, which are clearly diet and exercise,” MacKillop said. “It seems that managing strong desires to eat would naturally fit in with the skills a person would need to eat healthily.”32. According to Paragraph 1, the result of food addiction is _.A. taking alcohol or drugs B. motivation to lose weightC. negative emotions D. less healthy weight33. How does the author introduce the two personality traits in Paragraph 4?A. By making comparisons and conclusions.B. By explaining causes and effects.C. By giving definitions and examples.D. By presenting questions and answers.34. What can be inferred about the Yale Food Addiction Scale from the text?A. It has been successfully carried out among overweight people.B. It might help some impulsive people with food addiction to lose weight.C. It will prove whether food addiction is a problem to impulsive people.D. It is theoretically a proper treatment for addictive food and drug behavior.35. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A. Impulsive personality linked to food additionB. Food addiction compared to drug useC. Dopamine release caused by food addictionD.

Would someone be more likely to believe the look on your face or the way you hold your body?Scientists have recently tackled these questions. They found that when a person is looking at your face, she might not believe what she sees if your body language doesnt match the feeling that your face shows.37 Previously, they had found that the tone of a persons voice can be more important than the words that are spoken. For example, most people tend not to believe a person who says in a flat voice, “Im so excited.”When it came to emotions conveyed by facial expressions and body language, most scientists suspected that the face was more important. To test if this was true, psychologists from the Netherlands and Boston showed people a number of pictures of isolated(孤立的)faces and isolated bodies (with faces blurred out(模糊的) that showed anger or fear. 38An angry face had low eyebrows and tight lips. A scared face had high eyebrow and a slightly open mouth. 39 A scared body had arms forward and shoulders square, as if ready to defend.These results told the researchers that mixed signals can confuse people. Even when people pay attention to the face, body language subtly(微妙地) influences which emotion they read.40 If you want to be understood, it helps to avoid sending mixed messages.A. Studying such mixed messages is nothing new for scientists.B. Scientists feel new to study the mixed message that confuses people.C. So, your body language is important for telling people how you feel.D. When you do this, your face and body work together to show your friends that youre happy to see them.E. An angry body had arms back and shoulders at an angle, as if ready to fight.F. They also showed pictures in which angry or scared faces were paired with angry or scared bodies.G. Body language can sometimes be misunderstood in different culture backgrounds.第三部分 英語(yǔ)知識(shí)運(yùn)用 （共兩節(jié)，滿分 45分）第一節(jié) 完形填空（共 20 小題；每小題 1.5 分，滿分 30 分）閱讀下面短文，從短文后各題所給的四個(gè)選項(xiàng)（A、B、C 和 D）中，選出可以填入空白處的最佳選項(xiàng)，并在答題卡上將該項(xiàng)涂黑。My mom gave me some wise advice: “Nothing beats a good bite that bites back.” She was talking about her 41 for bitter-tasting food like rhubarb (大黃).Moms rhubarb plant is at the east of our 42 . Grandma moved it there from the farm. 43Ive always regarded it as an overgrown weed.We kept the largest garden in the neighborhood. Each growing season, we 44 the plentiful rhubarb, tomatoes, beans and carrots with our neighbors and friends. More families took the rhubarb than any other fruit.Nearly three years ago, while 45Moms flower bed, I finally asked if I could dig out her rhubarb. 46, she didnt bake with it anymore.“Absolutely not,” Mom said. Clearly I hadnt 47her devotion to it.As I continued weeding, I thought about how rhubarb is one of the 48plants to appear in early spring. It breaks through the snowy, icy ground before buds (芽) form on trees. How can anyone fail to 49such a passionate desire?When those first sprouts (嫩芽) 50, Id find Mom outdoors, examining them like a 51counting a newborns fingers and toes. She would estimate about how long itd be until she could make her rhubarb 52.But when I was a kid and she gave me that pie, it made me 53. In my teens, it made me complain. 54ice cream did not sweeten the deal for my young taste buds. Rhubarb was something to be 55at all costs.Then, last summer, I searched for Moms 56. I found the one for her rhubarb pie. So I 57to give it a try. A few tries later, I 58 rhubarb pie to family and guests. It tasted incredible.Since then Ive come to two 59 about rhubarb. First, you can take rhubarb out of the country, but you cant take the country out of the rhubarb. And second, rhubarbs taste may be lost on children, but adults can 60it. Like my wise mother, I now understand that “Nothing beats a good bite that bites back.”41. A. effort B. love C. hope D. regret42. A. garden B. farm C. house D. country43. A. So B. And C. But D. Or44.
