Do you believe in yourself? When you are in trouble, don’t say you can’t get over it. Believe in your dreams. Believe that you are loved. Believe that you make a difference. I was told a story about a teacher who once did what he could 21 his students get to know the importance of believing in themselves.
The teacher stood before his class and was going to hand out the final exam papers. “I know how 22 you have worked to prepare for this test,” he said. “And because I know you can do it well, I am willing to offer a B to those who 23 not to take the test.”
Many students thanked the teacher and left. The teacher looked at the students left and said, “Does anyone else want to get a ‘B’? This is your last 24 .” Two more students decided to go.Only seven students were still in the classroom. The teacher then 25 the papers. There were only three sentences on the paper: Congratulations! You have just 26 an ‘A’ in this class. Keep believing in yourselves.
I never had a teacher like that, but I think it is a test that any teacher could give. Students who are not confident in what they have learned are ‘B’ students 27 .
The same is 28 in our daily life. The ‘A’ students are those who believe in what they are doing because they have 29 both successes and failures. They have got life’s 30 , not only from normal education, but from events in their lives, and have become better people. You see, one should always believe in himself.
( ) 21. A. to make B. make C. making
( ) 22. A. hardly B. hard C. terribly
( ) 23. A. dislike B. go C. prefer
( ) 24. A. chance B. hope C. test
( ) 25. A. handed out B. handed in C. handed over
( ) 26. A. given B. sent C. received
( ) 27. A. at most B. at least C. at times
( ) 28. A. possible B. impossible C. true
( ) 29. A. heard of B. learned from C. dreamed of
( ) 30. A. experiences B. experiments C. lessons
三、阅读理解（本题共20分，每小题1分）
（A )
A year ago, I paid no attention to English idioms (习语), though my teacher told us the importance again and again. But soon, the importance of English idioms was shown in an amusing experience.
One day, I happened to meet an Englishman on the road, and soon we began to talk. As I was talking about how I was studying English, the foreigner seemed to be surprised. Gently shaking his head, shrugging his shoulders, he said，“You don’t say!” “You don’t say!” I was puzzled. I thought, perhaps this is not a right topic. “Well, I’d better change the topic.” So I said to him. “Well, shall we talk about the Great Wall? By the way, have you ever been there?” “Certainly, everyone back home will laugh at me if I leave China without seeing it. It was wonderful.” He was deep in thought when I began to talk like a tourist guide. “The Great Wall is one of the wonders in the world. We are very proud of it.” Soon I was interrupted (打断) again by his words: “You don’t say!” I couldn’t help asking, “Why do you ask me not to talk about it?” “Well, I didn’t ask you to do so,” he answered, greatly surprised. I said, “Didn’t you say ‘you don’t say’？” Hearing this, the Englishman laughed to tears. He began to explain, “ ‘You don’t say’ actually means ‘really!’ It is an expression of surprise. Perhaps you don’t pay attention to English idioms.” “______________” Since then I have been more careful with idiomatic expressions. Remember: what the English teachers said is always right to us students.

We sometimes have to meet some difficulties that we never expect, but we should develop a positive attitude to life. Keeping a positive attitude isn't always easy, especially when we are going through a difficult time in our life. However, we know, only when we take a positive attitude, can we overcome the difficulties.
On July 23rd, 1993, Wang Jiapeng lost his legs when his plane crashed. Wang was only 12 years old. He felt he was the unluckiest person in the world. When he saw students with their schoolbags on their backs, the sound of his wheelchair made him sick. Wang’s mother took him to a special hospital in Beijing. She looked after him in the daytime and worked at night to make money. But after two years, Wang was still not able to leave the hospital. Wang’s mother became too tired to go on and one day she herself became a hospital patient! One morning she woke up and saw her son holding breakfast for her. Wang’s trip to the food shop was his first time outside the hospital in two years. The five-minute walk took him thirty minutes. But he was finally able to make an important decision. He didn’t care how other people looked at him. He had to learn to do things himself.
For the next few years, Wang taught himself all his middle school subjects in the hospital and five years after the accident, he won a chance to study in a college in Norway. Wang learned to drive, go rock climbing and ski. He even won two gold medals for skiing in an international skiing competition.
“You are what you think you are,” said Wang. “If you think you’re disabled, you are. If you don’t think so, you aren’t.”
So we know that if you can keep a positive attitude, even when things aren't going well in your life, you are the true winner of life.

You can't always predict（预测）a heavy rain or remember your umbrella. But designer Belyaev doesn't think that forgetting to check the weather forecast before going out should cause you to get wet. That's why he created Lampbrella, a lamp post（柱）with its own rain－sensing（感应）umbrella.
　　The designer says he came up with the idea after watching people get wet on streets in Russia. “Once, I was driving on a central Saint Petersburg street and saw the street lamps lighting up people trying to hide from the rain. I thought it would be fit to have a canopy(伞篷) built into a street lamp，” he said.
　　The Lampbrella is a post－looking street lamp fitted with an umbrella canopy. It has a built－in electric machine which can open or close the umbrella. Sensors(传感器) then make sure that the umbrella offers walkers shelter（遮蔽） whenever it starts raining.
　　Besides the rain sensor, there's also a 360° moving sensor on the street lamp which finds whether anyone is using the Lampbrella. After three minutes of not being used the canopy is closed.
　　According to the designer, the Lampbrella would move at a rather low speed, in order not to hurt the walkers. Besides, it would be fixed on the ground to protect from possible lightning strike. Each Lampbrella would offer enough shelter for several people. Being fixed at 2 meters off the ground, it would only be a danger for the tallest of walkers.
　　While there are no plans to take the Lampbrella into production, Belyaev says he recently introduced his creation to one Moscow Department, and believes that his creation could be fixed on any street where a lot of people walk but there are no canopies to provide shelter.
( ) 46. What does the underlined word “forecast” mean in Chinese?
A. 预报 B. 情况 C. 查询
( ) 47. For what purpose did Belyaev create the Lampbrella?
　　 A. To remind people to take an umbrella.
　　 B. To check the weather forecast.
　　 C. To protect people from the rain.
( ) 48. Which of the following shows how the Lampbrella works?
 machine sensors
A．  B.  C. 
( ) 49. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
　　 A. His creation was inspired by an experience from Belyaev's words in Paragraph 2.
　　 B. Paragraph 5 mainly tell us about the Lampbrella’s safety.
　　 C. The Lampbrella will be put into immediate production.
( ) 50. The best title for this passage should be _____.
A. THE USE OF THE LAMPBRELLA　
B. HOW TO PREVENT RAIN
C. THE NEW INVENTION－LAMPBRELLA
