A

I've been reading 100 books per year on average during the past decade. So obviously I get the usual question of what books I recommend. Well here're my top 4 favorite books of all times, which influenced me into who I am today.

1. Think ＆ Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill. One of the biggest bestsellers of all times. Napoleon Hill spent two decades analyzing over 500 successful men like Henry Ford, Thomas Edison and John D. Rockefeller to discover how they did it. The result of Hill's research is in Think ＆ Grow Rich--13 steps to achieve your goal, whatever it is. All other self-help books are just copies of Hill's book first published in 1937.

2. Psychocybernetics by Maxwell Maltz. Another bestseller and the only self-help book you'll need next to Think ＆ Grow Rich. Maxwell Maltz was a plastic surgeon who was amazed that some patients still felt ugly after surgery. That's when he discovered they also needed reconstruction work inside—their "self-image". Everything about how to use the "mind-body" connection to achieve your goals, and how to feel confident about your body is inside this book.

3. Talent is Overrated by Geoff Colvin. This book drives the point home that success in any field is not determined by genetics or talent but deliberate （刻意的） practice. Colvin uses examples from world class achievers like Tiger Woods, Jack Welch, Warren Buffet, Mozart to prove that they all got theirs through years of practice—the 10,000 hours rule. You'll reexamine your beliefs about what it takes to succeed and supercharge your motivation after reading Colvin's book.

4. Mastery by George Leonard. This book also stresses that practice is the secret of success in anything. Leonard explains that mastership never ends--you will never have perfect technique and be able to stop. Instead you'll keep learning, improving, and hitting plateaus（瓶颈期）. The big point in Mastery is that plateaus are vital for improving your skills and that you therefore must start enjoying them instead of getting impatient or quitting like most guys do.

21. What is the book Think ＆ Grow Rich mainly about?

A. Successful men's stories.        B. A research on being rich.

C. An analysis of famous people.    D. Instructions on how to succeed.

22. Who is the book Psychocybernetics written for?

A. People who are unconfident of their appearance.

B. People who need advice of plastic surgeons.

C. People who want to build their body.

D. People who prepare to get surgery.

23. What do Talent is Overrated and Mastery both mention?

A. The steps to achieving the goal.

B. World class achievers' achievement

C. Practice's key role in achieving success.

D. Genetics and talent's influence on success

B

When Carlos Westez died at the age of 76, a language died, too. Westez, more commonly known as Red Thunder Cloud, was the last speaker of the Native American language, Catawba.

Anyone who wants to hear different songs of the Catawba tribe（部落）can get in touch with the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, D. C. , where, back in the 1940s,Red Thunder Cloud recorded a series of songs for future generations. They are all that is left of the Catawba language. The language that people used to speak is gone forever.

We all know the damage that modern industry can do to the world's ecology. However, few people know the effect that widely spoken languages have on other languages and ways of life. English has spread all over the world. Chinese, Spanish, Russian, and Hindi have become powerful languages, as well. As these languages become more powerful, their use as tools of business and culture increases. When this happens, hundreds of languages that are spoken by only a few people die out.

Scholars believe there are about 6,000 languages around the world, but more than half of them could die out within the next 100 years. Araki is a native language of the island of Vanuatu, located in the Pacific Ocean. It is spoken by only a few older adults, so like Catawba, Araki will soon disappear. Many languages of Ethiopia will have the same fate because each one has only a few speakers. In the Americas, 100 languages also are dying out.

Red Thunder Cloud was one of the first to recognize the threat of language death and to try to do something about it. He was not actually born into the Catawba tribe， and the language was not his mother tongue. However，he was a frequent visitor to the Catawba reservation in South Carolina, where he learned the language. The songs he sang for the Smithsonian Institution helped to make Native American music popular. Now he is gone，and the language is dead.

24. Why did Westez record songs for the Smithsonian Institution?

A. To fight for Native Americans' rights

B. To reserve the Catawba language.

C. To make Native American music popular.

D. To help young people learn Catawba songs.

25. Which of the following led to the disappearance of Catawba?

A. Widely spoken languages.        B. Changes of lifestyles.

C. Population control.              D. Modern industry.

26. How is paragraph 4 mainly developed?

A. By analyzing causes.          B. By giving examples

C. By following time order.        D. By making comparisons

27. What do we know about Red Thunder Cloud?

A. He passed away in the 1940s.            B. He was born into the Catawba tribe.

C. He learned Catawba from his mother.      D. He used to visit the Catawba reservation.

C

Common phrases like "no pains, no gains" give the impression that we ought to be suffering while we study. It's almost as though the only way to know if we're putting in enough work is the sense of hardship we bear.

When we haven't taken the time to come up with another strategy, all we know how to do is shut ourselves in a room with a book. It's no surprise that we find revision boring and difficult. Just as children learn from playing, we can learn from doing, or at least from study techniques that engage us, rather than make us switch off.

Shutting yourself away can make you learn to hate studying. This leads to a situation where instead of being able to concentrate on your work, you obsess about （唠叨）how unfair it is that you must study. When you feel bitter about your work it's very difficult to make yourself start, or approach it with enthusiasm. This can be part of a vicious cycle（恶性循环）that traps you into ineffective revision, your poor progress fuelling further bitterness. Just being around other people really helps fight against feelings of loneliness and, thankfully, it's perfectly possible to work in the company of other people. We just need to learn how to deal with distractions.

It's not necessary to avoid all company, just idle（懒散的） company. Studying in the same room with someone who is ironing or working out is perfectly possible. People who are bored and looking to be distracted, however, are terrible to work around. They constantly try to keep others in conversation. It's also a good idea to avoid the company of people engaged in activities that you would rather be doing than studying. Working while sitting next to someone playing video games is much more likely to end with a new high score than a productive few hours of revision. If being around others means working in a noisy environment, a pair of headphones and some background music can block out noises. They also act as a psychological barrier, so that people think twice before interrupting you.

When you're studying for a big exam, it seems like your whole life is taken up with study. Being in the same room with friends and family can lessen feelings of isolation（孤立）. Also connecting with other people makes us happy, so it's important not to give that up and to make sure that we take the time to socialize.

28. What is the author's attitude to the saying "no pains, no gains"?

A. Serious.     B. Positive     C. Negative          D. Uncaring.

29. What should you do if you are studying in a noisy environment?

A. Give indication of not wanting to be interrupted.

B. Give up others' company at once.

C. Think twice before taking any action.

D. Force yourself to be accustomed to the environment.

30. What does paragraph 4 mainly talk about?

A. Ways to deal with distractions.

B. How to choose a perfect place to study.

C. Learning problems students are faced with.

D. How to focus mind on study.

31. What is the author's purpose in writing the text?

A. To encourage students to work hard.

B. To introduce effective learning strategies

C. To remind students to balance study and play.

D. To advise students study in the company of others.

D

Friday night lights are good for the game, but they may be bad for biodiversity.

According to a study published Friday in the journal Animal Conservation, bright stadium lighting could affect the feeding habits of bats. Insects swarm （涌往）to these lights in large numbers, creating a competitive advantage for bat species who aren't afraid of humans and human structures. This could impact local ecosystems and reduce biodiversity.

For most humans, there simply isn't enough daylight hours--we have been developing new ways to light the night since we first controlled and used fire. But researchers say our need for continuous visibility can have serious consequences for neighboring species.

Light pollution has been linked to some ecosystem damage. Baby turtles, for example, naturally use the light of the moon to travel towards the open ocean. But constant and poorly designed artificial lighting can affect their sense of direction, obviously disturbing their life cycles.

"Increasing light pollution is a major feature of global change that's caused by humans, and it is a potential threat to biodiversity," co-author M. Corrie Schoeman said in a press release.

Dr Schoeman, a professor of biology at the University of Kwazulu-Natal, conducted field experiments to determine how stadium lighting affected bat behaviors. He found that "urban exploiter" bats were drawn to hunt near bright lights, while "urban avoider" bats were not. Exploiter species are able to take advantage of human resources, such as artificial light. Avoider species, by comparison, tend to avoid humans and human structures.

But it's hardly survival of the fittest. This man-made, ecological scale-tipping could result in the decline or loss of avoider species. And that, in turn, could threaten the balance of local ecosystems.

Luckily，light pollution is considered an “easy fix” compared to other forms of pollution. Smart lighting design 一 hooded（带罩的）streetlamps，motion-sensitive residential lights（触控住宅用灯），and better controls to remove unnecessary brightness--can obviously reduce light pollution. As for stadium lights，earlier games could do a lot of good，both for bats and for our ecosystems as a whole.

32. What does the author want to demonstrate with the example of baby turtles?

A. Turtles are good at using human lights.

B. Light pollution has caused ecological damage.

C. Artificial lighting can train turtles' sense of direction.

D. Human neighboring species have their own way of lighting.

33. What can we learn about the "urban exploiter" bats?

A. They are the fittest of their species.

B. They are fond of artificial lighting.

C. They always defeat "urban avoider" bats.

D. They break the balance of their species.

34. What is the last paragraph mainly about?

A. How to reduce light pollution.        B. How to improve stadium lights.

C. How to balance the ecosystem.        D. How to recognize unnecessary brightness.

35. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?

A. Evolution of Bats                     B. Competition Among Bats

C. Stadium Lights Change Bat Behavior      D. The Number of Bats Are Decreasing

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

The biggest seasonal change of the year happens from March to June, as temperatures climb, days lengthen, birds return, and life in all forms comes rushing back.   36   

Beneath this outpouring of new life, however, is a great struggle.   37   Like a bean seed growing from the earth, the spirit of spring is like a pressure valve（阀门） releasing, preparing us for action.

That's the energy of the season: powerful, creative, determined. That makes it the perfect time to get serious about your health and fitness.

Write down your workout goal--building new strength, perhaps.   38   "What have you been telling yourself you can't do?" asks Larsen. Spring is the time to question those assumptions and deal with them head-on.

   39   It's challenging for many, and it promotes growth and change. Hiring a trainer--or joining forces with an enthusiastic partner or group--can help build confidence, whether you're an experienced lifter or new to the world of weights.

You can make use of the season's growth-inducing （促生长的） power by increasing your demands in almost any fitness program.   40   If you are a yogi, make a great effort to master tougher and more athletic asanas （体式）.

Whatever you choose, remember that by taking advantage of the opportunities of each season, and avoiding the difficulties, you can gain a deeper appreciation for your body's changing needs--one year, one season, one workout at a time.

A. New growth requires willpower.

B. If you are a cyclist, attempt longer climbs.

C. Then break it down into steps and start working.

D. Strength training is perhaps the ideal spring activity.

E. The year's cycle renews itself in this season of rebirth.

F. You need to prepare your body for your fitness program.

G. When you are ready to play your first game of the season, take it easy.
