We often talk about ourselves as if we have permanent genetic defects （缺陷） that can never be changed．"I'm impatient" "I'm always behind" “I always put things 36 !" You've surely heard them．Maybe you've used them to describe 37 ．
These comments may come from stories about us that have been 38 for years—often from as far back as childhood．These stories may have no 39 in fact．But they can set low expectations for us．As a child, my mother said to me, "Marshall, you have no mechanical （操作机械的） skills, and you will 40 have any mechanical skills for the rest of your life．"How did these expectations 41 my development? I was never 42 to work on cars or be 43 tools．When I was 18,1 took the US Army's Mechanical Aptitude Test．My scores were in the bottom for the entire nation!
Six years later, however, I was at California University, 44 my doctor's degree．One of my professors, Dr．Bob Tannbaum, asked me to write down things I did well and things I couldn't do．On the positive side, I 45 down, "research, writing, analysis, and speaking．" On the 46 side, I wrote, "I have no mechanical skills．"
Bob asked me how I knew I had no mechanical skills．I explained my life 47 and told him about my poor 48 on the Army test．Bob then asked, " 49 is it that you can solve 50 mathematical problems, but you can't solve simple mechanical problems?"
Suddenly I realized that I wasn't 51 from some sort of genetic defects．I was just living out expectations that I had chosen to 52 ．At that point, it wasn't just my family and friends who had been 53 my belief that I was mechanically hopeless．And it wasn't just the Army test, either．I was the one who kept telling myself, "You can't do this!" I realized that as long as I kept saying that, it was going to remain true． 54 , if we don't treat ourselves as if we have incurable genetic defects, we can do well in almost 55 we choose．

第三部分 阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2份，满分40分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
Ever felt like destroying the car in front of you when you’re stuck in an endless traffic jam?
Well, the Spanish company StopStress is offering clients the possibility of doing just that－but in controlled, safe conditions.
Clients can also destroy computers, mobile phones and TV sets in what the company calls“destructotherapy”.
“We target the machines that cause the most stress in modern life,” company co-founder Jorge Arribas said in a telephone interview. “People get rid of stress by screaming and beating the machines until they are tired out,”he explained.
The company, based in the northern Spanish city of Sofia, uses deserted cars that still work. Heavy-metal music is used to excite the clients. They are given protective suits and glasses, helmets and huge hammers.
Most people’s rage only lasts for 5 to 10 minutes. But some go on for hours: they beat cars on which they’ve put the names of people or ideas they would like to get rid of.
“Some even get together to turn the car over,”Arribas says. A session costs 60 euros (US＄80) per person.
Arribas says the idea came to him when he was having trouble parking his car.
Dozens of people have used the therapy, which helps people become aware of their stress level and helps them to slow down, Arribas explained.
“It’s better to channel violence in a controlled way than to get it out on one’s wife or in a traffic husband and jam,”he added.
StopStress already has branches in three Spanish cities, and is planning to extend its market beyond Spain’s borders.
56. The Spanish company StopStress offers people the chance to _______.
A. calm down when they are angry
B. destroy things they no longer need
C. get rid of stress by destroying things
D. get rid of stress by screaming and shouting
57. Which of the following is NOT a means used directly to help people get less stressful in StopStress?
A. Heavy-metal music. B. Mobile phones.
C. Deserted cars. D. Protective suits and glasses.
58. The passage is mainly intended to tell you _______.
A. how to attract potential customers B. a special way to get rid of stress
C. a new and expanding business D. how to deal with stress in Spain
59. The underlined word“destructotherapy”in paragraph 3 refers to _______.
A. a stress-relief remedy(疗法) B. a destructive behavior
C. a violent movement D. a mental disorder
B
Dogs are social animals and without proper training they will behave like wild animals by nature. They will spoil your house, destroy your belongings, bark excessively, fight other dogs and even bite you．Nearly all behavior problems are perfectly normal dog activities that occur at the wrong time or place or are directed at the wrong thing．The key to preventing or treating behavior problems is learning to teach the dog to redirect its normal behavior to outlets （发泄途径） that are acceptable in the domestic setting．
One of the best things you can do for your dog and yourself is to train it．Obedience training （驯服训练） doesn't solve all behavior problems, but it is the foundation for solving just about any problem．Training sets up a line of communication between you and your dog．Effective communication is necessary to instruct your dog about what you want it to do．
Training is also an easy way to establish the social rank order．When your dog obeys a simple request of "come here, sit," it is showing obedience and respect for you．It is not necessary to establish yourself as top dog or leader of the pack （群） by using extreme measures．You can teach your dog its subordinate （从属的） role by teaching it to show submission to you．Most dogs love performing tricks for you to pleasantly accept that you are in charge．
Training should be fun and rewarding for you and your dog．It can enrich your relationship and make living together more enjoyable．A well-trained dog is more confident and can more safely be allowed a greater amount of freedom than an untrained animal．
60．Behavior problems of dogs are believed to _____．
A．be just part of their nature B．worsen in modem society
C．occur when they go wild D．present a threat to the community
61．Effective communication between a dog and its owner is _____．
A．a good way to build a social rank order
B．the foundation for dogs to perform tasks
C．an extreme measure in obedience training
D．essential to establishing the dog as pack leader
62．Why do pet dogs love performing tricks for their masters?
A．To avoid being punished．
B．To show their willingness to obey．
C．To win leadership of the dog pack．
D．To show their affection for their masters．
63. When a dog has received effective obedience training, its owner _____．
A．will enjoy a better family life
B．can give the dog more rewards
C．can give the dog more freedom
D．will have more confidence in himself
C
Aggressive pedestrians are in fact as dangerous as careless drivers. They cause traffic accidents, injury and death.
These dangerous walkers can be seen in any big city all over the world. About 69% of last year’s pedestrian deaths in the US occurred in urban areas. They cross streets ignoring “DON’T WALK” signals, suddenly appear without warning from behind parked vehicles, walk slowly at crossroads with cell phones attached to heads, blocking traffic.
These pedestrians and drivers share a common disregard for the rules of the road, both for selfish reasons. The drivers believe in the power of their machines. If their machines can go faster, they believe they have the right to go faster. If their machines are bigger, they believe they have the right to push smaller vehicles aside. Aggressive pedestrians, on the other hand, believe in the primacy(首位) of the individual, the idea that they are first in any environment, under any circumstances, even when they are on foot in a roaring tide of steel and rubber.
Last year, an estimated 5,220 pedestrians died in traffic accidents. Some 69,000 pedestrians were injured. On average, that worked out to one pedestrian killed in a traffic crash every 101 minutes, and one injured every eight minutes.
The good news is that the accident rate is dropping. For example, the number of pedestrians killed last year was 24 percent less than the number killed in traffic accidents a decade earlier. The bad news is that the basic causes of pedestrian deaths remain pretty much the same----disregard for traffic signals, inattention and crossing roads under the influence of alcohol and drugs. Alcohol, in fact, was involved in 46 percent of the traffic accidents that resulted in pedestrian deaths. Of those, 31 percent of the pedestrians were found to be drunk.
The bottom line is that the pedestrians must do more to protect their lives as well as the lives of other road users. They can start by obeying traffic signals, using marked cross-walks and calling a cab when they’ve had too much to drink.
64. The passage is mainly about _____.
A. what the traffic rules of the road about pedestrians were
B. why so many Americans were killed on roads last year
C. how aggressive pedestrians cause traffic accidents
D. who are to blame for pedestrian deaths, drunk drivers or the aggressive pedestrians
65. What is the pedestrians’ selfish reason for traffic jams?
A. They believe individuals are always first.
B. They know all drivers are skilled and with great care.
C. They think traffic rules have nothing to do with them.
D. They guess all vehicles will slow down at crossroads.
66. What was NOT the basic cause of pedestrian deaths in the US a decade ago?
A. Disregard for traffic signals B. Paying no attention to surroundings.
C. Overspeeding driving. D. Crossing roads drunk.
67. What word can best describe the author’s attitude to the traffic accidents caused by pedestrians?
A. Excited. B. Cold. C. Unconnected. D. Concerned
D
In the near future, we may be using our eyes to operate our smart-phones and tablets, even when it comes to playing popular games like Fruit Ninja.
The Gaze Group has been developing eye-controlled computer technology for nearly 20 years. But those devices have been firstly designed to help those with disabilities, and are very expensive.
“After a while, we figured out that probably the best way is to go for a mass-market way,” says Gaze’s Sune Alstrup Johansen. “where everybody would have this available."
Johansen and some of his colleagues have formed a new company, the Eye Tribe, which is hoping to develop the technology on a mass commercial level.
The technology works with the help of the computing device toward the user’s face. After making sure of the user’s eye movements, the technology is then able to easily find where a person’s eyes are moving, and then allow the eyes to control a cursor（光标）.
“Our software can then determine the location of the eyes and know where you’re looking on the screen to make sure what you’re looking at.” reads an explanation on the Eye Tribe site.
There has been a gradual change toward hands-free technology in recent years, particularly in the gaming world. Recently Xbox released the Kinect device, which lets users control their Xbox and play certain games using only their hands, legs and voices. But still, most of these devices have been more of a gimmick than a practical way to use one’s hands to control a mobile device. Johansen said a replaceable filter（滤光器）would be a cheap, convenient way for most consumers.
And even as companies like The Eye Tribe work to create such a product for the average user, making the eye-controlled technology more accessible and less expensive will have similar benefits for physically disabled users.

68．Which of the following is the main idea of the passage?
A. An introduction of eye-controlling technology． B. An introduction of a new device.
C. An introduction of smart-phones. D. An introduction of a new technology for the disabled.
69．The underlined word “gimmick” probably means ___________.
A. a way B. a trick C. a lie D. a dream
70．According to the passage, we can learn that ___________.
A. the eye-controlling technology was first developed for the blind
B. the present developing of the technology will bring no good
C. the eye-controlling technology is only intended for the disabled people
D. there is no such a phone as we can use only with our eyes at present
71．This passage is probably taken from ___________.
A. an experiment report B. a science fiction
C. a science website D. a school textbook

A well-dressed man enforced a famous jewelry shop. He explained that he wished to buy a pearl for his wife’s birthday. The price didn’t matter. Since business had been very good for him that year. After examining a nice black one that cost $5,000, he paid for the pearl in cash, shook hands with the jeweler, and left.
A few days later the man returned and said that his wife liked the pearl so much that she wanted another one just like it. It had to be exactly the same size and quality, because she wanted a pair of earrings made, “Can you give me any advice on how to get such a pearl?” said the man. The jeweler regretfully replied, “I would say it’s exactly impossible to find one exactly like that pearl.”
The rich man insisted that the jeweler advertise in the newspapers, offering $ 25,000 for the matching pearl. Many people answered the advertisement but nobody had a pearl that was just right.
Just when the jeweler had given up hope, a little old lady came into his store. To his great surprise, she pulled the perfect pearl from her purse. “I don’t like to part with it,” she said sadly, “I inherited(继承) it from my mother, and my mother inherited it from hers. But I really need the money.”
The jeweler was quick to pay her before she changed her mind. Then he called the rich man’s hotel to tell him the good news. The man, however, was nowhere to be found.

A. exactly the same size as the black one
B. exactly the same quality as the black one
C. worth more than $ 25,000
D. exactly as big and nice as the black one
74. Many people answered the advertisement because they wanted _______.
A. to see the perfect pearl

请认真阅读下列短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入最恰当的单词。注意：每空格1个单词。
Harvard University health policy researcher Ellen Meara says scholars have found some clues as to why some groups of people have more or less disease than others. She says one important factor in people’s health is the amount of education they have.
In her most recent paper, Meara looked at data from the United States census. Meara and her colleagues examined data from several decades.
“We looked at life expectancy（预测寿命）at age 25,” Meara says.
“How many additional years can you expect to live if you arrive at age 25 and your education has stopped at high school, or sooner? Versus how many years, can you expect to live if you’ve reached aged 25 and you’ve gone on to at least some college…”
Meara says they found that in 1990, a 25-year-old who only had some secondary school could expect to live for a total of 75 years. In 2000, a 25 year old with some secondary education could also expect to live to the age of 75.
In contrast, for a better educated 25-year-old, they could expect to live to the age of 80 in 1990. Someone with a similar education level in the year 2000, could expect to live to be more than 81 years, 81.6 years to be exact .
Meara says, not only do better-educated people live longer to begin with, but in the past ten years, more educated people has made gains in the length of their lives. Meanwhile, the life expectancy hasn’t changed for less educated people.
Some of these gains can be explained. Meara says researchers know that people who are more educated are more likely to quit smoking cigarettes, or not start at all, compared to people with less education.
“I think it’s a reminder not to be satisfactory,” Meara says. “Just because a population overall appears to be getting healthier, it doesn’t always mean that those advantages and successes that many people have enjoyed really extend into all parts of the population. And I think that's something to really pay attention to regardless of whether you live in the US or elsewhere.”
Meara points out that education can often determine income - people with more education frequently make more money. This makes them aware of health care, and purchase other resources and services that can keep them healthier. But the data on income do NOT show that people who
make more money are automatically healthier.
