A
One of the keys to being successful in what you do is persistence. Once you have determined exactly what you want to achieve, you must take massive action on a constant basis in order to succeed.
One of the things you'll notice on your journey towards your goal is roadblocks. That is, you will come across obstacles that seem to jump out of nowhere in an attempt to discourage your progress. Actually, they are a part of life. Everyone would have every success that ever wanted if there were no obstacles. Your job is to be persistent and work through obstacles. If you find little or no obstacles along the way, you are not really challenging yourself. And when you do reach your goal, you won' t experience the feeling of “sweet success”. Make your goal a challenging one!
If you take the time to study a successful person, you will learn that the vast majority of them have had more “failures” than they have had “successes”. This is because successful people are persistent; the more they stumble,_ the more they get right back up and try again. On the other hand, people who don' t get back up and try again never reach success. For example, Walt Disney was turned down 302 times before he got financing for his dream of creating the “Happiest Place on Earth” . Today, due to his persistence, millions of people have shared “the joy of Disney”. Colonel Sanders spent two years driving across the United States looking for restaurants to buy his chicken recipe. He was turned down 1 009 times! How successful is Kentucky Fried Chicken today!
Having known these facts, keep in mind that you must constantly reevaluate your circumstances and the approach you are using to reach your goal. There is no sense in being persistent at something that you are doing incorrectly! Sometimes you have to modify your approach along the way. Every time you do something you learn from it, and therefore find a better way to do it the next time.
Today is the day to begin your journey, using consistency and persistency, towards tomorrow's successes!
1. The author seems to believe that ______.
A. challenges we come across are rewarding
B. “sweet success” comes along with obstacles
C. the more obstacles we have, the better we feel
D. we will reach our goal by challenging ourselves
2. The reason why persistent people are successful is that ______.
A. they experience a lot of failures
B. they are born to be very stubborn
C. they have great ambitions in mind
D. they don' t give up in face of failure
3. Why did Colonel Sanders spend two years driving across the United States?
A. To count the number of the restaurants in America.
B. To taste different foods and find special recipes.
C. To find restaurants and sell recipes for fried chicken.
D. To open more Kentucky Fried Chicken chain stores.
4. The word underlined in the third paragraph maybe means “______”.
A. withdraw B. achieve
C. sprawl D. fall
5. What does the author advise us to do in paragraph 4?
A. To confirm whether your goal is practical.
B. To modify your approach from time to time.
C. To change our circumstances constantly.
D. To learn from our past mistakes.
B
Everyone becomes a little more forgetful as they get older, but men's minds decline more than women's, according to the results of a worldwide survey.
Certain differences seem to be inherent in male and female brains: Men are better at maintaining and dealing with mental images (useful in mathematical reasoning and spatial skills), while women tend to excel (擅长) at recalling information from their brain's files (helpful with language skills and remembering the locations of objects).
Many studies have looked for a connection between sex and the amount of mental decline (衰退) people experience as they age, but the results have been mixed.
Some studies found more age-related decline in men than in women, while others saw the opposite or even no relationship at all between sex and mental decline. Those results could be improper because the studies involved older people, and women live longer than men:
The men tested are the survivors, “so they're the ones that may not have shown such cognitive decline,” said study team leader Elizabeth of the University of Warwick in England.
People surveyed completed four tasks that tested sex-related cognitive skills: matching an object to its rotated form, matching lines shown from the same angle, typing as many words in a particular category (范畴) as possible in the given time, e.g. “object usually colored gray”, and recalling the location of objects in a line drawing. The first two were tasks at which men usually excel; the latter are typically dominated by women.
Within each age group studied, men and women performed better in their separate categories on average. And though performance declined with age for both genders, women showed obviously less decline than men overall.
6. The underlined word in the second paragraph means______.
A. natural B. great
C. obvious D. absolute
7. According to the passage, which of the following can NOT be typed into the same category?
A. Cloud. B. Sheep.
C. Trees. D. Goose.
8. Which of the following statements is true according to the article?
A. Men do better than women when it comes to learning English.
B. Women stand out at remembering people's names.
C. Men excel at typing as many words in a particular category as possible in the given time.
D. Women excel at dealing with mathematic problems.
9. One important factor that affects the correctness of the results is that ______.
A. the old men tested may not have shown such cognitive decline
B. people surveyed are all old
C. people taking part in this test come from all over the world
D. women live longer than men
10. The author aims to tell us that ______.
A. women's minds perform better than men's
B. men's minds decline more with age
C. everyone becomes a little more forgetful as they get older
D. a survey on human's mind decline was done recently

Last year, I lived in Chile for half a year. I lived with a Chilean family and had the responsibilities of any Chilean teenager. I had good days and bad days I didn't understand.
Chuquicamata, my host community, is a mining camp. When I arrived there, I was scared. It was so different from what I was used to. There were lots of dogs on the streets, and there was no downtown, few smoothly paved streets, and little to do for entertainment. Rain was not seen very often; earthquakes and windstorms were frequent.
I had studied Spanish for two and a half years and was always one of the best students in my class. But in my first week in Chile I was only able to communicate and needed one person to whom I could explain my shock. I couldn't speak the thoughts in my head and there were so many.
Most exchange students experience this like me. Culture shock presents itself in everything from increased aggression towards the people to lack of appetite (食欲). I was required to overcome all the difficulties.
As time passed, everything changed. I began to forget words in English and to dream in Spanish and love Chilean food. I got used to not depending on expensive things for fun. Fun in Chuquicamata was being with people. And I took math, physics, chemistry, biology, Spanish, art, and philosophy.
But the sacrifices were nothing compared to the gain. I learned how to accept and to succeed in another culture. I now have a deeper understanding of both myself and others.
1. The author went to Chile last year with the purpose of ______.
A. paying a visit to Chile as a tourist
B. experiencing Chilean life as a teacher
C. studying Chilean culture as a college student
D. studying knowledge as an exchange student
2. On arriving in Chile, why did the author feel frightened?
A. Because he did not know how to get along with the local people.
B. Because it was full of dangers like earthquakes and windstorms.
C. Because its living conditions were worse than what he was used to.
D. Because it was not convenient for him to shop there.
3. In the first week in Chile the author ______.
A. was not used to eating Chilean food
B. had some friends to have a chat with
C. couldn't communicate with people
D. couldn't express his thoughts in English
4. What did the author most probably think of his life in Chile?
A. Wonderful and worthwhile.
B. Difficult but meaningful.
C. Difficult and meaningless.
D. Boring and disappointing.
5. According to the passage, which of the following statements about Chile is true?
A. Its official language is Spanish and English.
B. It is a developing country without foreign students.
C. It seldom rains and natural disasters often happen.
D. Most Chileans are not friendly to foreigners.

It seems that politicians around the world are thinking about the health of their countries. While in China, Chen Zhu has announced his plans for a universal health service and reform
across health services. Gordon Brown, the UK Prime Minister, has also announced he is planning to make some changes in our health service.
The crux of Mr. Brown's proposals is related to giving the NHS (National Health Service) a greater focus on prevention, rather than just curing patients.
He is planning to introduce increased screening for common diseases such as heart disease, strokes, and cancer, for example, breast cancer. In Britain there are 200 000 deaths a year from heart attacks and strokes, many of which might have been avoided if the condition had been known about.
Initially, the diagnostic (诊断的) tests will be available for those who are vulnerable, or most likely to have the disease. One example is a plan to offer all men over 65 an ultrasound test to check for problems with the main artery (动脉), a condition which kills 3 000 men a year.
The opposition have criticized Mr. Brown's proposals, saying that they are just a trick, and claiming that there is no proper timetable for the changes. They also say that Mr. Brown is reducing the money available for the treatment of certain conditions while putting more money towards testing for them.
The NHS was founded in 1948, and is paid for by taxation. The idea is that the rich pay more towards the health service than the poor. However in recent years there has been a great increase in the use of private healthcare, because it's much quicker. NHS waiting lists for operations can be very long, so many people who can afford it choose to pay for medical care themselves.
6. The underlined word “vulnerable” in the fourth paragraph probably means ______.
A. sick B. weak C. wounded D. old
7. All the following statements are true EXCEPT that ______.
A. all people should pay for their healthcare at the NHS
B. some people are against the reform of the healthcare
C. the writer is likely to come from Britain
D. more money will be spent on testing people than before
8. Which of the following is the reason for the increasing private healthcare?
A. People are paying more attention to their own health.
B. People are well-off enough to pay their healthcare.
C. The NHS was not available for most of the people.
D. It's not so convenient for people to go to the NHS for their healthcare.
9. According to the passage, the purpose of the health reform plan in the UK is to ______.
A. encourage more private healthcare
B. focus on the prevention rather than on curing the patient
C. deal with the main artery problems
D. fight against the opposition in the UK
10. The author of this passage intends to tell us ______.
A. the NHS should be reformed right away
B. more and more people are dying from diseases
C. the plan to reform the NHS in the UK
D. the criticism of Mr. Brown's proposals
