Words have the power to build us up or tear us down. It doesn’t matter if the words come from someone else or ourselves – the positive and negative effects are just as lasting. We all talk to ourselves sometimes. We’re usually too embarrassed to admit it, though. But we really shouldn’t be, because more and more experts believe talking to ourselves out loud is a healthy habit. This “self-talk” helps us motivate ourselves, remember things, solves problems, and calm ourselves down. Beware, though, that as much as 77% of self-talk tends to be negative. So in order to stay positive, we should only speak words of encouragement to ourselves. We should also be quick to give ourselves a pat on the back. The next time you finish a project, do well in a test, or finally clean your room, join me in saying, “Good job!” Words possess power because of their lasting effects. Many of us regret something we once said. And we remember unkind words said to us! Before speaking, we should always ask ourselves: Is it true? Is it loving? Is it needed? If what we want to say doesn’t pass this test, then it’s better left unsaid. Words possess power: both positive and negative. Those around us receive encouragement when we speak positively. We can offer hope, build self-esteem(自尊) and motive others to do their best. Negative words destroy all those things. Will we use our words to hurt or to heal? The choice is ours. 36.The author argues in the first paragraph that ________. A.words will never hurt us at all B.words have lasting effects on us C.positive effects last longer than negative effects D.negative words last longer than positive effects 37.Why should we not feel embarrassed when talking to ourselves? A.Almost everybody has the habit of talking to oneself. B.It does harm to have “self-talk” when we are alone. C.Talking to ourselves helps us to solve all the problems. D.Talking to ourselves is believed to be good for our health. 38.The underlined phrase “give ourselves a pat on the back” in Paragraph 3 means _________. A.blame ourselves B.punish ourselves C.praise ourselves D.talk to ourselves 39.Which of the following statements would the author agree to? A.It is better to think twice before talking to others. B.It is impossible for unkind words to be forgotten. C.Words always possess long positive effects. D.Kind words are sometimes not needed at all. B In his first speech as victor, Obama catalogued the challenges ahead. "The greatest of a lifetime," he said, "two wars, a planet in danger, the worst financial crisis in a century." He added, "There are many who won't agree with every decision or policy I make as president, and we know that government can't solve every problem. But I will always be honest with you about the challenges we face." The son of a black father from In his speech, Obama invoked (引用) the words of Lincoln and echoed John F. Kennedy. "So let us summon a new spirit of patriotism, of service and responsibility where each of us resolves to pitch in (努力投入) and work harder," he said. He and his running mate, Joseph Biden of Delaware, will take their oaths(宣誓)of office as president and vice president on Jan. 20, 2009. Obama will move into the Oval Office as leader of a country that is almost certainly in recession (不景氣), and fighting two long wars, one in Iraq, the other in Afghanistan. Obama has said his first order of presidential business will be to tackle the economy. He has also pledged to withdraw most 40. What is special about Barack Obama, the newly-elected president of the A. He has a black father and a white mother. B. He is the first black president in the C. He defeated Republican Sen. John McCain easily. D. He will move into the 41. What Obama emphasized in his first speech were ________. A. dangers B. wars C. challenges D. financial problems 42. The first issue Obama will focus his attention on may probably be to ________. A. withdraw most C. declare two wars in 43. According to the passage, Obama’s attitude toward the challenges he faces is ________. A. positive B. negative C. ambiguous D. worried C It is true that shyness can be a disadvantage socially for those who suffer from it seriously. I mean real shyness, not somebody who is simply quiet. Quiet people could be shy, but on the other hand, they may just be observing because they are unsure of you or others in your company. They may be capable of being extrovert (性格外向的) and sociable, but on some particular occasions, they are quiet. I have learnt from my experience that those who observe and listen more and talk less can gain a position of strength. This means that even a very shy person, the type who is reluctant to talk in company (在交際場合) , especially new company, can become a strong person in just about anything they choose. Remember, knowledge is power, and a shy introvert (性格內(nèi)向的人) is in a better position to gain knowledge than an extrovert. Introverted people can give great attention to learning, and as good listeners they can take in an enormous amount from others. Over time, people can come to respect them far more than the extrovert who speaks a lot. Usually about themselves. What does it take , then for a very shy person to be that successful person they have always wanted to be ? They may only need one more thing to push themselves on their way. They need to dare themselves to take the leap; and when they do , they will probably find all the knowledge they have gained over the years will help them on their way to the top in their chosen field. 44. What does the first paragraph mainly want to tell us? A. A person who is quiet may not be shy. B. A shy person may not be a calm one. C. Quiet people are usually doubtful. D. Shyness is sometimes a bad feature. 45. The underlined word “reluctant” in paragraph 2 probably means ________. A. lazy B. careful C. eager D. unwilling 46. According to the author, introverted people can be successful because they usually ________. A. have a strong will B. talk less and show off less C. learn more than extroverts D. have a good attitude to learning 47. It can be learned from the last paragraph that “one more thing” probably refers to ________. A. energy B. courage C. quietness D. knowledge D Sports is not only physically challenging, but it can also mentally challenging. Criticism(批評)from coaches(trainers), parents, and other teammates, as well as pressure to win can create too much anxiety or stress for young athletes. Stress can be physical, emotional, or psychological, and research has showed that it can lead to burnout. Burnout has been described as dropping or quitting of an activity that was at one time enjoyable. The early years of development are critical years for learning about oneself. The sport setting is one where valuable experiences can take place. Young athletes can, for example, learn how to cooperate with others, make friends, and gain other social skills that will be used throughout their lives. Coaches and parents should be aware(realize), at all times, that their feedback(反饋)to youngsters can greatly affect their children. Youngsters may take their parents’ and coaches’ criticisms to heart and find a flaw(缺陷) in themselves. Coaches and parents should also be cautious(careful) that youth sport participation does not become work for children. The outcome of the game should not be more important than the process of learning the sport and other life lessons. In today’s youth sport setting, young athletes may be worrying more about who will win instead of enjoying themselves and the sport. Following a game, many parents and coaches focus on(pay more attention to) the outcome and find fault with youngsters’ performances. Positive reinforcement should be provided in spite of the outcome. Research shows that positive reinforcement motivates and has a greater effect on learning than criticism. Again, criticism can create high levels of stress(pressure), which can lead to burnout. 48. According to the passage sport is positive for young people in that . A. it can help them learn more about society B. it teaches them how to set realistic goals for themselves C. it enables them to find flaws in themselves D. it can provide them with valuable experiences 49. According to the passage parents and coaches should . A. help children to win every game B. pay more attention to letting children enjoy sports C. enable children to understand the positive aspect of sports D. train children to deal with stress 50. The author’s purpose in writing the passage is . A. to persuade young children not to worry about criticism B. to emphasize the importance of positive reinforcement to children C. to discuss the skill of combing criticism with encouragement D. to teach young athletes how to avoid burnout 第二卷(共五大題,滿分55分) IV. 單詞拼寫 根據(jù)所給句子和漢語注釋或英文首字母拼寫單詞。(共10小題,每小題1分,計10分) 51.

Very often you find it impossible to escape from it. If you have a telephone in your own house, you will admit that it tends to ring when you least want it to ring; when you are asleep, or in the middle of a meal or a conversation or when you are just going out, or when you are in your bath. Are you strong-minded enough to ignore it? You are not. You think there may be some important news or message for you. I can assure you that if a message is really important it will reach you sooner or later. Have you ever rushed crippling from the bath, or chewing from the table, or dazed from the bed, only to be told that you are a wrong number? But you will say, you need not have your name printed in the telephone directory, and you can have a telephone which is only usable for outgoing calls. Besides, you will say, isn’t it important to have a telephone in case of sudden emergency—illness, accident, or fire? Of course, you are right, but here in a thickly populated country like I think perhaps I had better try to justify (證明是有理的) myself by trying to prove that what I like is good. I admit that in different circumstances—if I were a wealthy and powerful businessperson, for instance, or badly ill and had to lie in bed, I might find a telephone a necessity. But then if I were a taxi-driver I should find a car as necessity. Let me put it another way: there are two things for which the English seem to show particular talent: one is mechanical invention, the other literature. My own business happens to be with the use of words but I see I must now stop using them, for I have had just been handed a slip of paper to say that somebody is waiting to speak to me on the telephone. I think I had better answer it. After all, one never knows, it may be something important.
