Do you ever give up easily in difficult situations? If so, imagine yourself as someone with

great abilities, like Batman(蝙蝠侠). It will help you feel strong. You will not give up easily and

will probably do better. This is called the Batman Effect(效应)

In a study, researchers gave three groups of six-year-old children a difficult task to complete on a computer. In Group One, the children were told-to repeat asking themselves, "Am I working hard?" In Group Two, the children were told to ask themselves the same question in the third person - as in "Is Sam working hard?" And in Group Three, the children were told to imagine themselves as Batman and ask themselves, "Is Batman working hard?" Researchers found that the children in Group Three did the best.

How can you make use of the Batman Effect? Imagine yourself as someone who is the best for the task you are doing. If you're facing a personal difficulty, imagine yourself as a wise family member. If you're running a race at school, imagine yourself as a top runner. In this way, you can become a little more like the person you wish to be.

31. Who took part in the study?

One Sunday, Nicholas, a teenager, went skiing at Sugarloaf Mountain in Maine. In the early afternoon, when he was planning to go home, a fierce snowstorm swept into the area. Unable to see far, he accidentally turned off the path. Before he knew it, Nicholas was lost, all alone! He didn't have food, water, a phone, or other supplies. He was getting colder by the minute.

Nicholas had no idea where he was. He tried not to panic. He thought about all of the survival shows he had watched on TV. It was time to put the tips he had learned to use.

He decided to stop skiing. There was a better chance of someone finding him if he stayed out. The first thing he did was to find shelter from the freezing wind and snow. If he didn't, bis body temperature would get very low, which could quickly kill him.

Using his skis, Nicholas built a snow cave. He gathered a huge mass of snow and dug out a hole in the middle. Then he piled branches on top of himself, like a blanket, to stay as warm as he could.

By that evening, Nicholas was really hungry. He ate snow and drank water from a nearby

stream so that his body wouldn't lose too much water. Not knowing how much longer he could last, Nicholas did the only thing he could-he huddled(蜷缩) in his cave and slept.

The next day. Nicholas went out to look for help, but he couldn't find anyone. He followed

his tracks and returned to the snow cave, because without shelter, he could die that night. On

Tuesday, Nicholas went out again to find help. He had walked for about a mile when a volunteer searcher found him. After two days stuck in the snow, Nicholas was saved.

Nicholas might not have survived this snowstorm had it not been for TV. He had often watched Grylls' survival show Man us Wild. That's where he learned the tips that saved his life. In each episode(一期节目) of Man us Wild, Grylls is abandoned in a wild area and has to find his way out.

When Grylls heard about Nicholas' amazing deeds, he was super impressed that Nicholas had made it since he knew better than anyone how hard Nicholas had to work to stay alive.

34. What happened to Nicholas one Sunday afternoon?

A. He got lost.

B. He broke his skis.

C. He hurt his eyes.

D. He caught a cold.

35. How did Nicholas keep himself warm?

A. He found a shelter.

B. He lighted some branches.

C. He kept on skiing.

D. He built a snow cave.

36.On Tuesday, Nicholas __________________.

A. returned to his shelter safely

B. was saved by a searcher

C. got stuck in the snow

D. stayed where he was

37. Nicholas left Grylls a very deep impression because he ________________.

A. did the right things in the dangerous situation

B. watched Grylls'TV program regularly

C. created some tips for survival

D. was very hard-working

                                      C

According to a research, more than 130 billion pounds of uneaten food go to waste in Laura's country each year. That is about 30% of the yearly food supply(供应). It is a sad fact, especially when you consider how many families and homeless people are in hunger.

When Laura saw her school dining hall throw away food that was not eaten at all every day, she came up with an idea. She started a project to help her school dining hall to give away uneaten food to homeless shelters(庇护所)in her community. In the past three years, the same project has spread to other schools and some fast food restaurants throughout the city. The project is called Feed & Find, and has already fed thousands of people in her city.

How does it work? Through an app, Feed & Find matches local homeless shelters with school dining halls and restaurants that have uneaten food to provide. When dining halls or restaurants have uneaten food left, they can use the app to share the information about the food. A truck driver working for the project is then sent to pick it up and take it to a shelter.

Pretty cool, right? It's not surprising that people in other cities have got in touch with Laura hoping that she could help develop similar projects for their communities.

Some people, however, have concerns about the safety of the uneaten food. They think such food may not be clean enough. Still, this project is a clever way to help solve the problem of food waste and it helps those in need.

38.The numbers in Paragraph 1 tell us _______________.

A. some people are poor

B. food waste is serious

C. the population is large

D. the research is interesting

39. Laura's project first got food from _______________.

A. her school dining hall

B. her family

C. a fast food restaurant

D. a homeless shelter

40. People in other cities would like Laura to ________________.

A. find a truck driver

B. visit their communities

C. give away food to them

D. help develop projects like hers

41. Which can be the best title for this passage?

A. A Dining Guide App

B. A Food Sharing Project

C. A Driving Service App

D. A Food Safety Project

D

If you have to describe yourself to someone else, what will you say? It can be difficult to see yourself from the outside, but knowing who you are, namely self-awareness, can help you

understand feelings and make friendships closer.

Self-awareness means having a good understanding of our own character, that is, having the ability to see ourselves clearly. If you're self-aware, you may know that you love playing an instrument because you do well in it, and music makes you happy, or that you prefer watching TV on your own because it helps you relax.

Knowing what you like and dislike, what you do well in and what you find difficult allows

you to make better decisions about friendships, schoolwork and so on. You learn to trust your own feelings more, which builds confidence (信心). The World Health Organization says self-awareness is one of ten important life skills that help young people live happier, healthier lives. Being self-aware doesn't mean only thinking of yourself. By understanding your own feelings, you will better understand other people too.

How do you learn to be self-aware? It's a good way to ask questions. But ask yourself questions that start with "What" instead of "Why". So if you don't understand why you keep arguing with a friend, ask yourself what you disagree on instead of why you're arguing.

Learning to be more self-aware is a skill, which means you learn it as you grow. So be bold and try out new things, like playing a new sport or listening to different kinds of music. Don't be afraid to dislike something - discovering what you find difficult is a key part of learning more about yourself.

42. The second paragraph mainly about ________________.

A. what self-awareness is

B. what true happiness is

C. how to find true happiness

D. how to develop self-awareness

43. Knowing yourself is important because ________________.

A. it'll make you think more of yourself

B. it'll make you perform better at school

C. it'll help you learn how to ask proper questions

D. it'll help you have a better understanding of others

44. What does the underlined word "bold" in the last paragraph probably mean in Chinese?

A.努力的          B.自豪的         C.大胆的          D耐心的

45. What's one of the keys to becoming more self-aware?

A. Being in high spirits.

B. Discovering your weak points.

C. Having a taste for pleasant music.

D. Learning to get along well with others.

四、七选五阅读（共5小题，每小题2分，共10分）

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。

Some individuals are born with a gift for public speaking. __46__ Do you want to be a good public speaker? Here are some principles you must master.

People want to listen to someone who is interesting, relaxed and comfortable. Too often, when you stand up to give a speech, you focus on the “public" at the expense of the "speaking". __47__ Focus on the speaking. Talk directly to your audience, be yourself and make a connection.

Even the most successful public speaker will make mistakes. Yet, the only one who cares

about any mistake is the one who is speaking. People's attention wanders constantly. In fact, most people only absorb about 20 percent of a speaker's message. So, don't stop speaking when you make a mistake unless it's a truly serious one. __48__

Your goal is not to be a perfect public speaker. __49__ and like everything else in life, that takes practice. Remember, even world champion athletes practice their skills on a consistent basis.

__50__ It's rare to hear someone say, wish that speaker had spoken longer. On the other hand, you probably can't count the times that you've thought, "I'm glad that talk is over. It seemed to go on forever!" So surprise your audience. Always make your presentation just a but shorter than anticipated. It's better to leave your listeners wishing for more than shifting restlessly in their seats waiting for your speech finally to end.

A. Do the opposite.

B. You want to be an effective public speaker.

C. You don't need to apologize for a minor slip(口).

D. When it comes to public speaking, less is usually more.

E. The objective of most speeches is to benefit the audience.

E. Take the fear out of public speaking by focusing on your listeners.

G. However, the majority of people are effective speakers because they train to be.
