When Mark was 8，his third grade teacher announced a class spelling contest；the prize was attractive to him and he wanted to win the contest badly．

In honor of the spelling contest，Mark finally agreed to a haircut．Before he changed his mind，I quickly took him to the barbershop． I used to find various prizes，like a weekend trip or a new music CD，to get him there every time his hair was long．

“Make it a lucky cut，”I instructed barber Joe．“Mark is competing in an important spelling contest next week．”

“Well，did you do your homework？”barber Joe asked． “Yes，”Mark replied．

“Did you study hard？”barber Joe asked． “Yes，”Mark replied．

“Do you have confidence？”barber Joe asked． “Confidence．C-O-N-F-I-D-E-N-C-E．Confidence．A lot of people spell that word

wrong，”Mark explained．

“Sure．You can spell it，”barber Joe responded．“But do you have it？You have got to have confidence in yourself，son．It's a winner's secret weapon（武器）．”

Mark won the spelling contest and got the prize—a free pizza lunch．And Mark never forgot barber Joe's words：“You have got to have confidence in yourself，son．It's a winner's secret weapon．”

Decades later，after becoming famous for his special design in buildings, Mark began receiving interview requests．When he discussed his design approach with one particular feature writer，the reporter asked him a question，“You're considered as a special one in the world of architecture．When everyone around says it can't be done，what makes you think you can pull it off？”

After thinking a bit，Mark replied，“Confidence．After I've done my homework，and studied my idea from every possible angle，if I still see it then I know the only thing standing between me and success is confidence．It's a winner's secret weapon．”

36．What can we infer about little Mark from the passage? A．He didn't take his study seriously． B．He didn't like to have his hair cut． C．He was not good at spelling．

D．He was a kid with few hobbies or interests．

37．What was the prize for the winner of the spelling contest? A．A new music CD． B．A free haircut．

C．A free weekend trip． D．A free pizza lunch．

38．What does Mark do now?

A．An architect． B．An engineer． C．A barber． D．A reporter．

39．From the passage，we can learn ______． A．the author was worried about Mark's study

B．the barber's words have influenced Mark greatly

C．Mark stopped doing his homework to prepare for the spelling contest D．Mark turned to many people for help to succeed in the spelling contest 40．The passage is written to ______．

A．honor a person who influences Mark greatly B．prove the great power of others' encouragement C．say a person needs confidence to succeed

D．say childhood experience can greatly affect a person

In 2008 and 2009 I published two articles researching a lull（停歇）in solar activity．At the time，there appeared to be some disagreement among scientists as to what effect this might have on human-caused global warming．Now climate scientists agree a less active sun won't have much

of an effect．

According to the reports from the IPCC，global climate is expected to warm between 4 and 10 degrees Fahrenheit by the year 2100．On the other hand，scientists show that the reduction in radioactive forcing（辐射力）due to low solar activity would reduce world temperature half a degree F if the lull in solar activity lasted until the end of the 21st century．

It is highly unlikely the current lull in solar activity would have such a long period．“It is more likely that a new lull in solar activity would reduce the global temperature average of 0．2 Celsius by the end of 2100，”commented Professor Stefan Rahmstorf，who was responsible for a study of a lull in solar activity effects on climate at the Institute for Research on the Impacts of Climate Change in Potsdam．

In short，this small forcing is likely to have little，if any，observable effect on human-caused global warming，at most reducing the temperature increase to between 3．5 and 9．5 degrees F． The reason for the small effect on temperature is due to the fact that the difference between solar activity highs and lows changes solar output by less than one half of one percent．So the difference in the amount of energy coming out of the sun between solar highs and lows isn't very large．The result is that the human forcing on climate is many times larger than that caused by any natural difference in the sun．

Generally if human-caused climate_change isn't controlled it can't be stopped by natural

changes in the sun．

41．What once caused the argument among scientists? A．The reduction in world temperature．

B．That humans are responsible for global warming． C．That humans are stronger than nature．

D．Whether the lull in solar activity has effect on human-caused global warming．

42．According to scientists，world temperature would fall a little if ______． A．less CO2 is given off B．more trees are planted

C．radioactive forcing becomes strong

D．the lull in solar activity lasts a long period

43．What can we learn from the passage?

A．The author is expert at writing science fiction． B．The current lull in solar activity will last very long．

C．The power of humans is stronger than the sun on global warming． D．The IPCC reported that world temperature would fall greatly． 44．What do the underlined words“climate change”refer to? A．The flood．

B．Global warming． C．The earthquake．

D．Global environmental change．

45．What does the passage mainly talk about? A．The effect of global warming． B．An argument among scientists．

C．That humans are a cause of global warming．

D．That a less active sun cannot stop global warming． Ⅳ．七选五阅读 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。

参考答案

Ⅰ.

1. 答案：D 解析：考查日常交际用语。根据语境“关于购物习惯你介意回答几个问题吗？”可知选D项“只要不花费很长时间就不介意”。A项意为“介意，十分愿意”；B项意为“不介意，恐怕我做不到”；C项意为“介意，很值得花这个时间”，均是前后文矛盾。

2. 答案：C 解析：考查动词辨析。句意：最后，我要向我的导师表示感谢，他为我的论文提供了很多建议和意见，并为我的草稿的每一页都进行了润色。approve“支持，赞同”；quote“引用，引述”；polish“修改，润色”；fold“折叠，对折”。

3. 答案：C 解析：考查交际用语。句意：——我不知道你怎样，我可是烦透了这样的鬼天气。——我也是。我不能忍受这样的下雨天。根据句意可知说话者双方都不喜欢那样的天气，因此选用“So am I”的倒装形式表示和第一人情况一样。I don't care．“我不在乎。”；It's hard to say．“很难说。”；I hope so．“我希望如此。”

4. 答案：B 解析：句意：房间不整洁我可以忍受，但我讨厌它脏兮兮的。put up with“容忍”；come up with“想出”；turn to“转向”；stick to“坚持”。

5. 答案：A 解析：后半句句意：只要你玩得开心，花多少钱并不重要。so long as“只要”；unless“除非”；as soon as“一……就”；though“虽然”。

6. 答案：C 解析：考查强调句式。It is/was＋被强调内容＋that＋句子其余成分。 7. 答案：B 解析：考查冠词。句意：这是寒冷的冬日的一个夜晚，皎洁的月光照亮了夜空。第一个空为泛指，故用不定冠词a；第二个空为特指，表示“这个夜晚的天空”，故用定冠词the。

8. 答案：D 解析：句意：总的来说，自信的学生在学习上比那些没有远大志向的学生更有可能成功。on the whole“总的来说”，符合句意。

9. 答案：D 解析：句意：我们经常被教导只要我们树立了目标就应该全力以赴地达成目标。on condition that“条件是……”； in case“以防”；as far as“据……，远至……”；so long as“只要”。

10. 答案：A 解析：face/take/suffer the consequences of sth．“承担某事的后果”。 11. 答案：C 解析：当quantities of＋名词作主语时，不管名词是复数还是不可数谓语动词都要用复数形式。

12. 答案：B 解析：答语句意：多对孩子表扬和鼓励，增强他的自信。pick up“捡起，收听，学会，好转等”；take up“从事，举起，占据等”；call up“打电话，使……回忆起”，都不合句意。因此答案为build up“增强/进，逐步建立”。

13. 答案：A 解析：句意：是空气污染带来全球天气的变化吗？结合句意可知，本句应为强调句，所缺成分为强调结构中的it。

14. 答案：C 解析：句意：最近（发生的）那次空难真是一场可怕的大灾难，大约七十人在这次空难中丧生。catastrophe “大灾难”，符合句意。contribution“贡献”；phenomenon“现象”；commitment“承诺”。

15. 答案：C 解析：句意为“准备得这么好，毫无疑问我们会成功的”。There is no doubt that... “毫无疑问……”。 Ⅱ.

17. 答案：B 解析：根据“It took me about a year to fill this diary，______after that one I gained more speed．”可知，空前面说花了一年的时间来写满第一本日记，空后面提到写日记的速度加快了，这是一种转折关系。

的小日记本，由此可知，作者的日记本有大有小，尺寸不一。

26. 答案：B 解析：此处表示作者除了写日记以外，还收集评论。 27. 答案：A 解析：很久以前作者也写诗。

28. 答案：D 解析：根据下文的“... with the title ‘How we got married’．”可知，作者记录了他婚礼的所有准备工作。

40. 答案：C 解析：主旨大意题。根据马克童年参加一次拼写比赛的经历，以及长大成为著名的建筑师之后接受采访时说的话可知，文章是在说“成功的秘诀是要有信心”。

B

43. 答案：C 解析：细节理解题。根据第四段“The result is that the human forcing on climate is many times larger than that caused by any natural difference in the sun．”可知，在对气候的影响上，人类的力量要比太阳的大很多。

44. 答案：B 解析：词义猜测题。根据第四段的“In short，this small forcing is likely to have little，if any，observable effect on human-caused global warming... ”可知，太阳活动的停歇对地球变暖的趋势没有明显的影响，由此可判断画线词指代“全球变暖”。

Global warming is becoming a serious problem throughout the world．People have realized that it is time for us to do something．So many measures are being taken to prevent carbon dioxide from going into the air and many activities are also held to call on people to protect our earth．

An activity called“The Earth Is Our Only Home”was held on People's Square last Sunday．The volunteers called on the public to try our best to protect the earth and save energy．As ordinary people，we should help by saving water and electricity in our life and，if possible，avoid driving to reduce air pollution．During the activity some environmentally-friendly inventions drew people's attention，with which we can use less energy in our life．
