Recently I spoke to some of my students about what they wanted to do after they graduated, and what kind of job prospects they thought they had.
Considering that I teach students who are trained to be doctors, I was surprised to find that most thought that they would not be able to get the jobs they wanted without “outside help”. “What kind of help is that ” I asked, expecting them to tell me that they would need a relative or family friend to help them out.
“Surgery（外科手术）”, one replied. I was pretty shocked by that response. It seems that the graduates of today are increasingly willing to go under the knife to get ahead of others when it comes to getting a job. One girl told me that she was considering surgery to increase her height. “They break your legs, put in special things, and slowly expand the gap between the two ends of the bone as it regrows. You can get at least 5cm taller!”
At that point, I was shocked. I am short. I can’t deny that, but I don’t think I would put myself through months of pain just to be a few centimeters taller. I don’t even bother to wear shoes with thick soles, as I’m not trying to hide the fact that I am just not tall!
It seems to me that there is a trend toward wanting “perfection”, and that is an ideal that just does not exist in reality.
No one is born perfect, however, magazines, TV shows and movies present images of thin, tall, beautiful people as being the norm（标准）. Advertisements for slimming aids, beauty treatments and cosmetic surgery clinics fill the pages of newspapers, further creating an idea that “perfection” is a requirement, and that you must go for it, no matter what the cost. In my opinion, skills, rather than appearance, should determine how successful a person is in his chosen career.
56. In the author’s opinion, “outside help” means ________.
A. getting helps from relatives or family friends B. going under the knife
C. trying to be perfect D. getting ahead of others
57. Many graduates today turn to cosmetic surgery to ________.
A. marry a better man/woman B. become a model
C. get an advantage over others in job-hunting D. attract more admirers
58. What was the author’s reaction towards the girl’s decision
A. Excited. B. Surprised. C. Happy. D. Angry.
59. According to the passage, the author believes that ________.
A. everyone should go for perfection, whatever the cost
B. it’s right for graduates to ask for others to help them out in hunting for jobs
C. media should be criticised for misleading young people to do surgery
D. it is one’s appearance instead of skills that really matters in one’s career
60. What does the author think of his height
A. He dislikes being called a short man. B. He tries to increase his height through surgery.
C. He always wears shoes with thick soles to hide the fact. D. He just accepts it as it is.
C
There’s a whole lot of things that people fill their stomachs with. Some of them keep people alive. Some of them taste good to people. Some of them help people win pie-eating contests. Alcohol does none of those things. Why do people keep drinking it And what does it do once it gets to their stomachs
There are all kinds of alcohol molecules(分子)，but the one that people most often pour down their throat is ethanol (乙醇)．Ethanol is very tiny and it dissolves in water, so it gets into all sorts of places that it’s not supposed to. Alcohol heads for the digestive system. Because it dissolves in water, it can get into the water in the bloodstream. Because ethanol, to a certain extent, can pass through cell membranes(膜). It can go almost anywhere. It spreads through the muscles, and is sweated—unmetabolized(未经新陈代新的) and whole—through the skin. It gets into the heart. It even takes a walk through the brain, and this is the secret of its powers.
Alcohol depresses the nerves, and the nerves affect almost every area of the body. Enough alcohol makes people sleep, so people who become unconscious choke on their own vomit(呕吐物). Most worryingly, enough alcohol can shut down those parts of the brain just like any other parts. People become unconscious and their brains simply forget to breathe.
Alcohol is broken down in the liver. Alcohol doesn’t destroy the liver, but products that the liver breaks the alcohol into do cause damage. A glass of wine per day can not do any harm. Instead, it can prevent heart attacks or can make someone functionally young. And it is kind of nice to know that sometimes, relaxation and cheer can be bottled. All that’s needed is to take care how much alcohol is let into a person’s brain.
61. How does the author introduce the topic of the text
A. By statement. B. By question. C. By arguing. D. By explaining.
62. Why can Alcohol reach the brain
A. Because it can move through water molecules in the blood.
B. Because it is small enough to get through any narrow space.
C. Because it is so light that the bloodstream can transport it.
D. Because it is absorbed only by the cells in the stomach.
63. What’s the main idea of Paragraph 3
A. Alcohol affects the work of the nerves. B. Alcohol has an effect on people’s breath.
C. People are drunk when their brains get drunk. D. Drinking too much is quite dangerous.
64. From the passage, we can know __________.
A. many people like a drink when they feel relaxed
B. enough alcohol can control the brain activities
C. alcohol damage the liver indirectly
D. proper alcohol may lead to better sleep
65. What suggestion does the author give on drinking alcohol
A. Controlling the time of drinking. B. Controlling the amount of drinking.
C. Choosing the kind of drink. D. Choosing the place of drinking.
D
In today’s motivational literature, failure is often viewed as something to be celebrated. Inspirational speakers are fond of quoting the words of the novelist Samuel Beckett-“Fail again. Fail better.” It seems that disappointments are an essential stepping stone to success, a turning point in our life story that will ultimately end in victory.
However, psychological researches find most of us struggle to handle failure constructively. In other words, we fail to “fail forward”. We find ways to devalue the task at which we failed, and become less motivated to persevere and reach our goals. This phenomenon is known as the “sour-grape effect”, which was discovered by Professor Hallgeir Sjastad.
Sjastad explains that “sour-grape effect” is a self-protective mechanism. “Most of us picture ourselves as competent people, so when external feedback suggests otherwise, it poses a serious threat to that self-image,” he says. “The easiest way out is to deny or explain away the external signal, so we can reduce the inconsistency and preserve a positive sense of self. We do this even without noticing.”
If you have one bad interview for your dream job, you might convince yourself that you don’t really want it at all, and stop applying for similar positions. The same goes if you fail to impress at a sports trial, or if a publisher rejects the first submission of your manuscript. “We tend to explain away our shortcomings and convince ourselves our ‘Plan C’ is actually our ‘Plan A’,” Sjastad says.
It doesn’t mean we should persevere in goals all the time. It can be healthy to change ambitions if the process is no longer making us happy. But the “sour-grape effect may lead us to come to this decision prematurely, rather than hanging on a little and seeing whether we might learn and improve.
Failures are unavoidable. By learning to face the disappointment instead of devaluing its importance and pretending nothing happened, you may find it easier to achieve your goals.
66．Why does the author mention the speech of inspirational speakers in paragraph 1
A．To offer an example to handle failure.
B．To describe a shallow understanding of failure.
C．To introduce a common attitude towards failure.
D．To emphasize the importance of experiencing failure.
67．What can we learn from the paragraph 3 about the “sour-grape effect”
A．It protects us from false feedback. B．It pictures us as competitive people.
C．It poses a severe threat to self-image. D．It denies negative feedback to ourselves.
68．What is the author’s attitude towards failure
A．Short-sighted. B．Wait-and-see. C．Objective. D．Skeptical.
69．What does the underlined word “prematurely” in paragraph 5mean
A．Unhappily. B．Mistakenly. C．Hurriedly. D．Carelessly.
70．Which statement would the author most probably agree with
A．Don’t escape when our self-image is broken.
B．Don’t quit when goals no longer make you happy.
C．Never hesitate to replace “Plan A” with “Plan C”.
D．Never forget to maintain a positive sense of self.

Mum and Dad never noticed I was failing, but I don’t blame them. They had five children and a busy household. I got through primary school, but within months after starting secondary education I’d been moved into a class for “slow” kids. As far as I was concerned, that was where I belonged, but still felt ashamed.
At 14, I realized things weren’t going to get better. I’d soon leave school unqualified and unemployable. Everyone would know I was stupid. Unable to talk about that with family or friends, I ran away from home.
Life was not easy for me, but I always found a way out. If I had to meet someone, I’d repeat the street name to myself until I found a cab. I avoided situations where I’d have to sign my name. Bills were paid at the post office, in cash. If I had to fill in an application form, I’d take it into the street and ask a passer-by for help. If someone suggested a trip to the theatre, I’d find an excuse not to go.
The turning point emerged with the birth of my daughter, Henrietta. How could I expect her to thrive (茁壮成长) if I wasn’t able to help her with homework Who would read her bedtime stories, if not me I was 30, and couldn’t even recite the alphabet.
I took an evening course but kept it secret from my friends. Gradually, I started to gain what felt like a whole new sense. Within a year, I was able to stand in front of my classmates and deliver a speech about the works of William Blake. After that first year, I told my friends what I’d been up to. The relief was great; it’s like letting out a breath I’d been holding for years. I realized how lonely I’d always been. Finally, I was able to be myself.
Today, my confidence is real, and I feel in control of everything I do. I run a guest house, work as a photographer and am about to complete a degree in psychology and sociology.
71．Why didn’t the author’s parents notice she was failing (No more than 10 words)
72．What would the author do if she had to fill in an application form (No more than 8 words)
73．What does the underlined part “emerged” in Paragraph 4 mean (1 word)
74．How did the author feel after she told her friends the truth (No more than 6 words)
75．What do you think of learning at an older age or throughout one’s life (No more than 20 words)

Recently I spoke to some of my students about what they wanted to do after they graduated, and what kind of job prospects they thought they had.
Considering that I teach students who are trained to be doctors, I was surprised to find that most thought that they would not be able to get the jobs they wanted without “outside help”. “What kind of help is that ” I asked, expecting them to tell me that they would need a relative or family friend to help them out.
“Surgery（外科手术）”, one replied. I was pretty shocked by that response. It seems that the graduates of today are increasingly willing to go under the knife to get ahead of others when it comes to getting a job. One girl told me that she was considering surgery to increase her height. “They break your legs, put in special things, and slowly expand the gap between the two ends of the bone as it regrows. You can get at least 5cm taller!”
At that point, I was shocked. I am short. I can’t deny that, but I don’t think I would put myself through months of pain just to be a few centimeters taller. I don’t even bother to wear shoes with thick soles, as I’m not trying to hide the fact that I am just not tall!
It seems to me that there is a trend toward wanting “perfection”, and that is an ideal that just does not exist in reality.
No one is born perfect, however, magazines, TV shows and movies present images of thin, tall, beautiful people as being the norm（标准）. Advertisements for slimming aids, beauty treatments and cosmetic surgery clinics fill the pages of newspapers, further creating an idea that “perfection” is a requirement, and that you must go for it, no matter what the cost. In my opinion, skills, rather than appearance, should determine how successful a person is in his chosen career.
56. In the author’s opinion, “outside help” means ________.
A. getting helps from relatives or family friends B. going under the knife
C. trying to be perfect D. getting ahead of others
57. Many graduates today turn to cosmetic surgery to ________.
A. marry a better man/woman B. become a model
C. get an advantage over others in job-hunting D. attract more admirers
58. What was the author’s reaction towards the girl’s decision
A. Excited. B. Surprised. C. Happy. D. Angry.
59. According to the passage, the author believes that ________.
A. everyone should go for perfection, whatever the cost
B. it’s right for graduates to ask for others to help them out in hunting for jobs
C. media should be criticised for misleading young people to do surgery
D. it is one’s appearance instead of skills that really matters in one’s career
60. What does the author think of his height
A. He dislikes being called a short man. B. He tries to increase his height through surgery.
C. He always wears shoes with thick soles to hide the fact. D. He just accepts it as it is.
C
There’s a whole lot of things that people fill their stomachs with. Some of them keep people alive. Some of them taste good to people. Some of them help people win pie-eating contests. Alcohol does none of those things. Why do people keep drinking it And what does it do once it gets to their stomachs
There are all kinds of alcohol molecules(分子)，but the one that people most often pour down their throat is ethanol (乙醇)．Ethanol is very tiny and it dissolves in water, so it gets into all sorts of places that it’s not supposed to. Alcohol heads for the digestive system. Because it dissolves in water, it can get into the water in the bloodstream. Because ethanol, to a certain extent, can pass through cell membranes(膜). It can go almost anywhere. It spreads through the muscles, and is sweated—unmetabolized(未经新陈代新的) and whole—through the skin. It gets into the heart. It even takes a walk through the brain, and this is the secret of its powers.
Alcohol depresses the nerves, and the nerves affect almost every area of the body. Enough alcohol makes people sleep, so people who become unconscious choke on their own vomit(呕吐物). Most worryingly, enough alcohol can shut down those parts of the brain just like any other parts. People become unconscious and their brains simply forget to breathe.
Alcohol is broken down in the liver. Alcohol doesn’t destroy the liver, but products that the liver breaks the alcohol into do cause damage. A glass of wine per day can not do any harm. Instead, it can prevent heart attacks or can make someone functionally young. And it is kind of nice to know that sometimes, relaxation and cheer can be bottled. All that’s needed is to take care how much alcohol is let into a person’s brain.
61. How does the author introduce the topic of the text
A. By statement. B. By question. C. By arguing. D. By explaining.
62. Why can Alcohol reach the brain
A. Because it can move through water molecules in the blood.
B. Because it is small enough to get through any narrow space.
C. Because it is so light that the bloodstream can transport it.
D. Because it is absorbed only by the cells in the stomach.
63. What’s the main idea of Paragraph 3
A. Alcohol affects the work of the nerves. B. Alcohol has an effect on people’s breath.
C. People are drunk when their brains get drunk. D. Drinking too much is quite dangerous.
64. From the passage, we can know __________.
A. many people like a drink when they feel relaxed
B. enough alcohol can control the brain activities
C. alcohol damage the liver indirectly
D. proper alcohol may lead to better sleep
65. What suggestion does the author give on drinking alcohol
A. Controlling the time of drinking. B. Controlling the amount of drinking.
C. Choosing the kind of drink. D. Choosing the place of drinking.
D
In today’s motivational literature, failure is often viewed as something to be celebrated. Inspirational speakers are fond of quoting the words of the novelist Samuel Beckett-“Fail again. Fail better.” It seems that disappointments are an essential stepping stone to success, a turning point in our life story that will ultimately end in victory.
However, psychological researches find most of us struggle to handle failure constructively. In other words, we fail to “fail forward”. We find ways to devalue the task at which we failed, and become less motivated to persevere and reach our goals. This phenomenon is known as the “sour-grape effect”, which was discovered by Professor Hallgeir Sjastad.
Sjastad explains that “sour-grape effect” is a self-protective mechanism. “Most of us picture ourselves as competent people, so when external feedback suggests otherwise, it poses a serious threat to that self-image,” he says. “The easiest way out is to deny or explain away the external signal, so we can reduce the inconsistency and preserve a positive sense of self. We do this even without noticing.”
If you have one bad interview for your dream job, you might convince yourself that you don’t really want it at all, and stop applying for similar positions. The same goes if you fail to impress at a sports trial, or if a publisher rejects the first submission of your manuscript. “We tend to explain away our shortcomings and convince ourselves our ‘Plan C’ is actually our ‘Plan A’,” Sjastad says.
It doesn’t mean we should persevere in goals all the time. It can be healthy to change ambitions if the process is no longer making us happy. But the “sour-grape effect may lead us to come to this decision prematurely, rather than hanging on a little and seeing whether we might learn and improve.
Failures are unavoidable. By learning to face the disappointment instead of devaluing its importance and pretending nothing happened, you may find it easier to achieve your goals.
66．Why does the author mention the speech of inspirational speakers in paragraph 1
A．To offer an example to handle failure.
B．To describe a shallow understanding of failure.
C．To introduce a common attitude towards failure.
D．To emphasize the importance of experiencing failure.
67．What can we learn from the paragraph 3 about the “sour-grape effect”
A．It protects us from false feedback. B．It pictures us as competitive people.
C．It poses a severe threat to self-image. D．It denies negative feedback to ourselves.
68．What is the author’s attitude towards failure
A．Short-sighted. B．Wait-and-see. C．Objective. D．Skeptical.
69．What does the underlined word “prematurely” in paragraph 5mean
A．Unhappily. B．Mistakenly. C．Hurriedly. D．Carelessly.
70．Which statement would the author most probably agree with
A．Don’t escape when our self-image is broken.
B．Don’t quit when goals no longer make you happy.
C．Never hesitate to replace “Plan A” with “Plan C”.
D．Never forget to maintain a positive sense of self.

Mum and Dad never noticed I was failing, but I don’t blame them. They had five children and a busy household. I got through primary school, but within months after starting secondary education I’d been moved into a class for “slow” kids. As far as I was concerned, that was where I belonged, but still felt ashamed.
At 14, I realized things weren’t going to get better. I’d soon leave school unqualified and unemployable. Everyone would know I was stupid. Unable to talk about that with family or friends, I ran away from home.
Life was not easy for me, but I always found a way out. If I had to meet someone, I’d repeat the street name to myself until I found a cab. I avoided situations where I’d have to sign my name. Bills were paid at the post office, in cash. If I had to fill in an application form, I’d take it into the street and ask a passer-by for help. If someone suggested a trip to the theatre, I’d find an excuse not to go.
The turning point emerged with the birth of my daughter, Henrietta. How could I expect her to thrive (茁壮成长) if I wasn’t able to help her with homework Who would read her bedtime stories, if not me I was 30, and couldn’t even recite the alphabet.
I took an evening course but kept it secret from my friends. Gradually, I started to gain what felt like a whole new sense. Within a year, I was able to stand in front of my classmates and deliver a speech about the works of William Blake. After that first year, I told my friends what I’d been up to. The relief was great; it’s like letting out a breath I’d been holding for years. I realized how lonely I’d always been. Finally, I was able to be myself.
Today, my confidence is real, and I feel in control of everything I do. I run a guest house, work as a photographer and am about to complete a degree in psychology and sociology.
