　　Life often deals us a bad hand but it’s up to you to think to yourself：“I’ve got this.I can get through it.” By the way， think of how boring you’d be if nothing challenging ever happened to you — you’d never learn， and then you’d never change！ Every setback （挫折） is an opportunity for us to turn it into a success.
“It’s not what happens to you in life， it’s what you do about it，” says Mitchell， a self-made millionaire， a famous speaker， and a former mayor.And he accomplished all this after his accident.
If you saw Mitchell you’d find this hard to believe.You see， having gone through a plane crash， he was paralyzed and changed beyond recognition.
After the terrible accident， Mitchell recalls meeting a nineteen-year-old patient in the hospital.“This guy had also been paralyzed.He had been an active outdoors person， and he was convinced his life was over.Finally， I went over to this guy and said， ‘You know something？ Before all this happened to me， there were 10，000 things I could do.Now there are 9，000.I could spend the rest of my life dwelling on the 1，000 that I lost， but I choose to focus on the 9，000 that are left.’”
Mitchell realised he did not have to buy into society’s concept that one must be handsome and healthy to be happy.“I am in charge of my own spaceship，” he states confidently.“I could choose to see this situation as a setback or a starting point.”
Although most of our setbacks won’t be as severe as Mitchell’s， all of us will have our fair share.You might get dumped； you may lose an election at school； you may get beaten up； you may not get accepted to the school of your choice； you may become seriously ill.I hope and believe that you will be proactive and strong in these defining moments.
4.What does the author think of something bad in our lives？
A.It should be avoided.
B.It can be meaningful.
C.It’s very boring indeed.
D.It’s very easy to handle.
5.What message did Mitchell mainly try to tell the young patient？
A.Think of what you have.
B.Never give up your dream.
C.Always be your personal best.
D.Try your best to achieve more.
6.What attitude did Mitchell take to the society’s concept in Paragraph 5？
A.Unclear.　　　　　　 B.Confused.
C.Negative. D.Favourable.
7.What words can best describe Mitchell？
A.Patient and generous.
B.Smart and humorous.
C.Honest and hardworking.
D.Determined and optimistic.
C
　　Time flies， or so they say.No matter where you are， humans are constantly measuring and checking time.Some of us are good at it — planning and doing things way ahead of time — while others are always trying to beat the clock and do things at the eleventh hour.And that’s only if you’re on time.What about if you are behind time？
　　Being late is bad manners， and it can be serious.But how late is too late？ Many cultures take punctuality （守时） very seriously， whereas others seem to accept lagging behind as just the normal way of doing things.Members of the BBC from various different cultures were asked about the concept of timekeeping in their native countries and responded with a raft of answers.
　　BBC employees from Latin America， Rwanda and Sri Lanka said that there are more flexible （灵活的） attitudes to timekeeping in their cultures.In Latin America， things may happen five minutes， twenty minutes， an hour or even two after they were planned.Whereas， in Sri Lanka， lateness is a part of the daily routine.This is because of heavy traffic conditions.In Rwanda， those who attend to deadlines with strict timekeeping are said to be “like a typical European”.
　　On the other hand， German and Japanese employees mentioned a stricter adherence to time.In Japan， it is common to make an effort to arrive with time to spare for an appointment.Those who arrived at the stroke of nine to a meeting starting at 9 a.m.would be considered late.In Germany， however， if a dinner party were to begin at eight， a person who had arrived five minutes earlier may walk around the block to ensure that they arrive at eight on the dot.
　　It seems that the answer is subjective （主观的）， and what is considered acceptable is based on culture.That said， if you don’t mind waiting， it might be best to attend your appointments in good time.And if the worst comes to the worst， remember the old English proverb： Better late than never.
8.What does the underlined phrase “beat the clock” in Paragraph 1 probably mean？
A.Do something in a long time.
B.Do something in a short time.
C.Finish a task after a particular time.
D.Finish a task before a particular time.
9.What can we infer about Europeans？
A.They are usually late.
B.They are usually punctual.
C.They can put up with tardiness.
D.They don’t take appointments seriously.
10.Where should you attend an appointment ahead of time？
A.In Japan. B.In Sri Lanka.
C.In Germany. D.In Latin America.
11.What does the author think of timekeeping？
A.Try to avoid being late.
B.Being late is acceptable.
C.Take a flexible attitude to it.
D.We needn’t take it too seriously.

　　The year 1988 will not be forgotten for a long time at Yellowstone National Park.Fires broke out in June and burned until September.The fires were not put out completely until November.They covered almost half of the huge park.What caused such huge fires？ There are several answers to this question.
　　Lodgepole pines （美国黑松） make up 80 percent of the park’s forests.These trees grow quickly， but they only live about 200 years.Then many of the pines die and are blown down by high winds.The trees lie on the forest floor for many years.In wet forests they would rot （腐烂） and turn back into soil， but it is too dry for this to happen in Yellowstone.In 1988， dead wood covered the forest floor.
　　Yellowstone usually gets a lot of snow in the winter.When the snow melts（融化）， it provides water for the plants.For six winters in the 1980s， little snow had fallen.Rain usually falls during the summer months， but 1988 was the driest summer in 116 years.
　　Several fires started in and near the park in June.Park officials fought the fires caused by human carelessness.They didn’t try to put out the fires started by lightning.They knew that fires help clean out the dead wood.When little rain fell in June and July， the fires became larger and larger.More than 17，000 acres had burned by 21 July.Park officials decided that it was time to fight all of the big fires.
　　On 23 July， strong winds blew the fires into new areas of the park.Firefighters battled the flames， but they had little success.On 20 August， 80-mile-per-hour winds swept through the park.This day became known as Black Saturday.Fires that had almost died out came back to life.No matter how hard the firefighters tried， they couldn’t control the flames.Snow and rain began to fall in September.Then the worst of the fires were put out.The remaining fires were put out by heavy snows in November.
12.How long did the fires at Yellowstone National Park last？
A.About 3 months. B.About 4 months.
C.About 5 months. D.About 7 months.
13.What reason for fires is mentioned in the third paragraph？
A.Dead wood. B.Dry weather.
C.Great winds. D.Human carelessness.
14.Why didn’t park officials try to put out the fires started by lightning？
A.They didn’t know about the fires.
B.They had no way to control them.
C.They knew fires could do no harm.
D.They knew fires would go out of itself.
15.Park officials decided to put out fires 　　　　.
A.5 days after they broke out
B.10 days after they broke out
C.20 days after they broke out
D.one month after they broke out
Ⅱ.阅读七选五
　　Why do we care about what others think？There are many reasons we care about what people think of us， but I am going to start with the basics： Biology.
　　We are born to seek agreement and inclusion into our tribes（部落）.　16　 So back in our caveman days， keeping in with the tribe was important because if the tribe rejected you， you were thrown out into the wilderness to face death.
　　But as our societies progress， it becomes a question of pride and social recognition.　17　
　　The more popular we are， the safer we feel in a community.We feared rejection because to be rejected by the tribe was to die at the hands of lions.But we have long changed since then， and people have gotten more diverse （多样的） with every passing generation.　18　
　　It’s a wise choice to be your real self.If you accept your real self and start turning up as that every day， people will reject， people will not like you.But people will also love you.　19　 And most importantly of all， you will love you because you are living your truth.
　　We spend a lot of time worrying about what people think of us.However， people are selfish.　20　 Most of the time， they think something， forget about it and move on.They are barely paying attention to why they are thinking that， let alone the small judgement they just made.
A.It is none of your business.
B.They may be new and different people.
C.It is simply impossible to please everyone.
D.Are they even paying attention to you at all？
E.In ancient times， we hunted and lived together for survival.
F.To stop caring about what people think of you requires courage.
G.It becomes less about our avoiding death and more about gaining status to a better lifestyle.

W：Hi， what are you doing？
M：Oh， I’m watching a lecture about nonverbal communication given by Professor Betty from England.
W：Nonverbal communication？ What is it？ Could you please make it clear and simple？ I’m so confused about it！
M：OK， nonverbal communication refers to communication without words. In other words， it’s body language.
（Text 2）
W：Fifteen minutes to get there！ And these suitcases， too！ I think we ought to take a taxi.
M：Not at this moment.Look at the traffic. It is moving very slowly. We can get there just as quickly on foot.
W：Well， I can’t possibly carry this suitcase any farther.
M：Let me take it.
W：Don’t be silly. You can’t carry your case and mine as well.
M：Yes， I can. The cases aren’t that heavy. Hum！
W：You see！ They’re heavier than you thought！
M：Perhaps it is not a bad idea to take a taxi after all.
（Text 3）
W：I find it harder to say “no” than “yes”.
M：Me， too， and most people do. Sometimes when we are at home relaxing for a couple of days， our friends ask us to offer some help.We usually agree reluctantly.
W：Yes.Many people say “yes” to this kind of request.People tend not to consider their own interests and feelings， but are often angry with themselves afterwards.
M：That’s true.Saying “no” requires courage and considerable practice， for people are afraid saying “no” might risk losing the friendship of the person asking for help.
W：But in fact， rejecting a request can even help to keep a relationship lasting longer.
M：Yes， I agree.It is better to say “no” sometimes.
（Text 4）
W：Are there any interesting stories in the newspaper today？
M：There are a few stories about natural disasters.There is a massive forest fire in Australia.It has destroyed many more square kilometres.
W：Was it caused accidentally or naturally？ Sometimes it gets so hot that fires begin naturally in Australia and Africa.
M：Nobody knows at the moment， but it has been very hot there recently.The drought in Africa is causing starvation.Millions of people have migrated in order to find some food.
W：What is the international community doing to help？
M：The European Union has sent several planes with relief supplies.Several countries have sent soldiers to distribute food and medical supplies.Refugee camps have been set up across the region.
W：How many countries have been affected？
M：Six have been seriously affected， but the refugees are also migrating to several surrounding countries.
W：I saw on the TV yesterday that there has been another earthquake.
M：Yes.There have been a few there recently.They say that this one was not a big quake.The Iranians are dealing with it on their own.They have purchased some special equipment to find people buried under rubble.
W：Does the newspaper say anything about casualties？

relaxing for a couple of days， our friends ask us to offer some help.We
usually agree reluctantly.
W：Yes.Many people say “yes” to this kind of request.People tend not to
consider their own interests and feelings， but are often angry with
themselves afterwards.
M：That’s true.Saying “no” requires courage and considerable practice，
for people are afraid saying “no” might risk losing the friendship of the
person asking for help.
W：But in fact， rejecting a request can even help to keep a relationship
lasting longer.
M：Yes， I agree.It is better to say “no” sometimes.
（Text 4）
W：Are there any interesting stories in the newspaper today？
M：There are a few stories about natural disasters.There is a massive
forest fire in Australia.It has destroyed many more square kilometres.
W：Was it caused accidentally or naturally？ Sometimes it gets so hot that
fires begin naturally in Australia and Africa.
M：Nobody knows at the moment， but it has been very hot there
recently.The drought in Africa is causing starvation.Millions of people have
migrated in order to find some food.
W：What is the international community doing to help？
M：The European Union has sent several planes with relief
supplies.Several countries have sent soldiers to distribute food and medical
supplies.Refugee camps have been set up across the region.
W：How many countries have been affected？
M：Six have been seriously affected， but the refugees are also migrating
to several surrounding countries.
W：I saw on the TV yesterday that there has been another earthquake.
M：Yes.There have been a few there recently.They say that this one was
not a big quake.The Iranians are dealing with it on their own.They have
purchased some special equipment to find people buried under rubble.
W：Does the newspaper say anything about casualties？
M：So far， less than 20 people have died， but over 100 are in hospital.

　　Life often deals us a bad hand but it’s up to you to think to yourself：
“I’ve got this.I can get through it.” By the way， think of how boring
you’d be if nothing challenging ever happened to you — you’d never
learn， and then you’d never change！ Every setback （挫折） is an
opportunity for us to turn it into a success.
“It’s not what happens to you in life， it’s what you do about it，”
says Mitchell， a self-made millionaire， a famous speaker， and a
former mayor.And he accomplished all this after his accident.
If you saw Mitchell you’d find this hard to believe.You see， having
gone through a plane crash， he was paralyzed and changed beyond
recognition.
After the terrible accident， Mitchell recalls meeting a nineteen-year-
old patient in the hospital.“This guy had also been paralyzed.He had been
an active outdoors person， and he was convinced his life was
over.Finally， I went over to this guy and said， ‘You know something？
Before all this happened to me， there were 10，000 things I could
do.Now there are 9，000.I could spend the rest of my life dwelling on the
1，000 that I lost， but I choose to focus on the 9，000 that are left.’”
Mitchell realised he did not have to buy into society’s concept that one
must be handsome and healthy to be happy.“I am in charge of my own
spaceship，” he states confidently.“I could choose to see this situation as a
setback or a starting point.”
Although most of our setbacks won’t be as severe as Mitchell’s， all
of us will have our fair share.You might get dumped； you may lose an
election at school； you may get beaten up； you may not get accepted to
the school of your choice； you may become seriously ill.I hope and
believe that you will be proactive and strong in these defining moments.

　　Time flies， or so they say.No matter where you are， humans are
constantly measuring and checking time.Some of us are good at it —
planning and doing things way ahead of time — while others are always
trying to beat the clock and do things at the eleventh hour.And that’s only if
you’re on time.What about if you are behind time？
　　Being late is bad manners， and it can be serious.But how late is too
late？ Many cultures take punctuality （守时） very seriously， whereas
others seem to accept lagging behind as just the normal way of doing
things.Members of the BBC from various different cultures were asked
about the concept of timekeeping in their native countries and responded
with a raft of answers.
　　BBC employees from Latin America， Rwanda and Sri Lanka said
that there are more flexible （灵活的） attitudes to timekeeping in their
cultures.In Latin America， things may happen five minutes， twenty
minutes， an hour or even two after they were planned.Whereas， in Sri
Lanka， lateness is a part of the daily routine.This is because of heavy
traffic conditions.In Rwanda， those who attend to deadlines with strict
timekeeping are said to be “like a typical European”.
　　On the other hand， German and Japanese employees mentioned a
stricter adherence to time.In Japan， it is common to make an effort to
arrive with time to spare for an appointment.Those who arrived at the
stroke of nine to a meeting starting at 9 a.m.would be considered late.In
Germany， however， if a dinner party were to begin at eight， a person
who had arrived five minutes earlier may walk around the block to ensure
that they arrive at eight on the dot.
　　It seems that the answer is subjective （主观的）， and what is
considered acceptable is based on culture.That said， if you don’t mind
waiting， it might be best to attend your appointments in good time.And if
the worst comes to the worst， remember the old English proverb： Better
late than never.

The year 1988 will not be forgotten for a long time at Yellowstone
National Park.Fires broke out in June and burned until September.The fires
were not put out completely until November.They covered almost half of
the huge park.What caused such huge fires？ There are several answers to
this question.
　　Lodgepole pines （美国黑松） make up 80 percent of the park’s
forests.These trees grow quickly， but they only live about 200 years.Then
many of the pines die and are blown down by high winds.The trees lie on
the forest floor for many years.In wet forests they would rot （腐烂） and
turn back into soil， but it is too dry for this to happen in Yellowstone.In
1988， dead wood covered the forest floor.
　　Yellowstone usually gets a lot of snow in the winter.When the snow
melts（融化）， it provides water for the plants.For six winters in the
1980s， little snow had fallen.Rain usually falls during the summer
months， but 1988 was the driest summer in 116 years.
　　Several fires started in and near the park in June.Park officials fought
the fires caused by human carelessness.They didn’t try to put out the fires
started by lightning.They knew that fires help clean out the dead
wood.When little rain fell in June and July， the fires became larger and
larger.More than 17，000 acres had burned by 21 July.Park officials
decided that it was time to fight all of the big fires.
　　On 23 July， strong winds blew the fires into new areas of the
park.Firefighters battled the flames， but they had little success.On 20
August， 80-mile-per-hour winds swept through the park.This day became
known as Black Saturday.Fires that had almost died out came back to
life.No matter how hard the firefighters tried， they couldn’t control the
flames.Snow and rain began to fall in September.Then the worst of the fires
were put out.The remaining fires were put out by heavy snows in
November.

Ⅱ.阅读七选五
　　Why do we care about what others think？There are many reasons we
care about what people think of us， but I am going to start with the
basics： Biology.
　　We are born to seek agreement and inclusion into our tribes（部
落）. 　16　 So back in our caveman days， keeping in with the tribe was
important because if the tribe rejected you， you were thrown out into the
wilderness to face death.
　　But as our societies progress， it becomes a question of pride and
social recognition. 　17　
　　The more popular we are， the safer we feel in a community.We
feared rejection because to be rejected by the tribe was to die at the hands
of lions.But we have long changed since then， and people have gotten
more diverse （多样的） with every passing generation. 　18　
　　It’s a wise choice to be your real self.If you accept your real self and
start turning up as that every day， people will reject， people will not like
you.But people will also love you. 　19　 And most importantly of all，
you will love you because you are living your truth.
　　We spend a lot of time worrying about what people think of
us.However， people are selfish. 　20　 Most of the time， they think
something， forget about it and move on.They are barely paying attention
to why they are thinking that， let alone the small judgement they just
made.
A. It is none of your business.
B. They may be new and different people.
C. It is simply impossible to please everyone.
D. Are they even paying attention to you at all？
E. In ancient times， we hunted and lived together for survival.
F. To stop caring about what people think of you requires courage.
G. It becomes less about our avoiding death and more about gaining status
to a better lifestyle.
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章主要告诉我们不必太在乎别人
对我们的看法。
本文是一篇说明文。文章主要告诉我们不必太在乎别人
对我们的看法。
16. E　本段从进化论的角度分析人类为什么喜欢被认可和接纳——在
古代社会，这是一种寻求生存的本能，故E项符合语境。
17. G　本段说明今天我们渴望别人的认同更多的是寻求自尊的满足和
社会的认可，故G项符合语境。
18. C　上句告诉我们：现代人经过长期的进化变得非常复杂和多样，
这说明要满足每一个人是不可能的。故C项符合语境。
19. B　上文告诉我们：当我们做真实的自我，会有人讨厌我们，但同
时也会有人喜欢我们。故B项符合语境。
20. D　根据上下文可知，人都是自私的，他们很少会去关注别人的
事。故D项符合语境。
