We all can learn much from our mistakes. However, too much of it may influence your brain and your life. Negative (消极的) self-talk is that little voice in your head. It says you are not good enough. It reminds you of all your faults and mistakes. ②Dr. Steven, an educator and researcher on how the mind controls behavior, said that some good students who study hard normally do not do well in a test because of “test anxiety (考试焦虑)”. ③Lindsay was one of Steven’s best students at a community college. She came to class early, took part in discussions and did all of her homework. However, she did poorly in exams. When Steven asked her how she felt before a test, she told him she was very nervous. She wondered why she had trouble remembering what she had studied. She did not trust that she knew the right answers. This is an example of negative self-talk, which can influence a student’s grades. ④Dr. Steven took Lindsay’s negative self-talks and turned them into positive (积极的) questions. Before a test, he told Lindsay to say to herself: Why am I so relaxed when I take an exam? Why do I remember everything I study for an exam? ▲ ⑤Lindsay took his advice. Two weeks later, she took an exam in another class and scored 15 points higher than she had on an earlier exam. Four weeks later, she earned an “A” on the final exam in Steven’s class. Lindsay left community college and went to a four-year university. She continued to use the method of positive self-talk. When Dr. Steven visited her a year later, she had good news to share: she had got straight A’s on all of her exams. ⑥ Dr. Steven saw student after student succeed with his method. More importantly, they got their self-confidence back. And he does not just help his students. He also encourages his friends and neighbors to get rid of negative self-talk gradually in their life. In a television interview, he said, “We can program ourselves for success in class or in life, or we can program ourselves for failure.” 39. What’s the purpose of Paragraph 3? A. To introduce Lindsay. B. To catch readers’ interests. C. To support Dr. Steven’s idea. D. To connect the next paragraph. 40. Which of the following can be put in the blank in Paragraph 4? A. Why do I trust my answers? B. Why am I so worried? C. Why do I doubt myself? D. Why am I so weak in the exam? 41. What’s the structure of the passage? A. B. C. D. 42. What’s the best title of the passage? A. Negative Self-talk Makes You Succeed. B. Negative Self-talk Makes You Better. C. Positive Self-talk Makes a Great Difference. D. Positive Self-talk Can Change Your Goal. 【答案】39. C 40. A 41. A 42. C 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述了负面自我对话对学生成绩和自信心的影响，并通过Lindsay的故事展示了通过积极自我对话来提高成绩和恢复自信的方法。 【39题详解】 推理判断题。根据“This is an example of negative self-talk, which can influence a student’s grades.”可知第三段主要是通过Lindsay的例子来证明Dr. Steven的观点，即负面自言自语对考试成绩有影响。故选C。 【40题详解】 推理判断题。根据“Dr. Steven took Lindsay’s negative self-talks and turned them into positive (积极的) questions.”以及“Before a test, he told Lindsay to say to herself: Why am I so relaxed when I take an exam?”可知，Dr. Steven建议将负面的自言自语转变为积极的自言自语，故选A。 【41题详解】 篇章结构题。通读全文，第一段引出负面自我对话的问题；第二至第五段通过Lindsay的例子支持这一观点，并展示积极自我对话的效果；最后一段总结Dr. Steven的方法的重要性。故选A。 【42题详解】 标题归纳题。通读全文，本文讲述了负面自我对话对学生成绩和自信心的影响，并通过Lindsay的故事展示了通过积极自我对话来提高成绩和恢复自信的方法，因此选项C为最佳标题。故选C。 C If music makes you smarter and exercise helps you to think, surely exercising to music can turn you into a clever person. A team of scientists from Ohio State University did experiments on 33 volunteers who were getting better from heart disease after operations. They found those volunteers who exercised while listening to Italian musician Antonio Vivaldi’s The Four Seasons did much better on language ability tests than without music. It is also used in medical fields for patients who have had head hurts because of its moderate tempo (适中的节奏). “Exercise seems to cause positive changes in the nerve (神经) system and these changes may improve the learning ability of people with heart disease,” said the psychologist Charles Emery, who led the study. “And listening to music is thought to enhance understanding. We just wanted to put the two results together,” he added. The volunteers said they felt better emotionally and physically after exercising with or without music. But their improvement on the test doubled after listening to music during exercise. Scientists have proved that music can be good for health and education. It helps reduce stress and sadness, encourage relaxation or sleep, wake up the body and improve memory and thoughts. Scientists have been studying the results of exercise to music on learning and understanding since the early 1950s. A study showed that students who listened to Mozart’s violin-pieces and exercised went on to get higher marks in an IQ test. With important exams drawing near, your parents will not probably allow you to listen to music or play sports. But perhaps now you have good reasons to argue with them. 43. What does the underlined word enhance mean? A. Produce B. provide C. improve D. impress 44. From the last paragraph we can learn that ________. A. you should follow your parents’ words B. you have some good reasons to join in an IQ test C. good marks depend on listening to music and exercising D. exercise to music might help you get higher grades in tests 45. Which of the following statements is true? A. Music helps volunteers get better from heart disease. B. Exercise is used for people with head hurts. C. Exercise causes no changes in health without music. D. Music can help you relax and feel energetic. 【答案】43. C 44. D 45.

A study showed that students who listened to Mozart’s violin-pieces and exercised went on to get higher marks in an IQ test.”可知，此处提到听莫扎特音乐并运动的学生在智商测试中得分更高，暗示其对学业成绩的潜在帮助，选项D“边听音乐边锻炼可以帮助你在考试中取得更高的成绩”与之相符。故选D。 【45题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“Scientists have proved that music can be good for health and education. It helps reduce stress and sadness, encourage relaxation or sleep, wake up the body and improve memory and thoughts.”可知，科学家已经证明音乐有益于健康和教育。它有助于减轻压力和悲伤，鼓励放松或睡眠，唤醒身体，提高记忆力和思维，选项D“音乐可以帮助你放松，感觉精力充沛”与之相符。故选D。 D A 2,000-year-old story is now on Jiangsu’s “Su Chao” football field—the famous Chu-Han Contention (楚汉之争) is back! The Jiangsu Football City League, also called “Su Super League” or “Su Chao”, is currently being held. It is an official competition where teams from 13 cities in Jiangsu province play against each other. One of the most exciting matches is between Suqian and Xuzhou. Many people online refer to it as the “Chu-Han Contention” on the football field. This name comes from a famous period in Chinese history. After the Qin Dynasty (221—206 BC) ended, Xiang Yu, a powerful military leader, declared himself the King of Chu. He gave Liu Bang the title of King of Han. Xiang Yu was from Xiaxiang, which is now Suqian. Liu Bang was from Peixian, which is now Xuzhou. Their battle for control of China, known as the Chu-Han Contention, ended with Liu Bang’s victory. This led to the start of the Western Han Dynasty (202 BC—AD 8). Today, in the Su Chao league, every time these two cities play, the match becomes interesting and full of passion (激情). But the rivalry (竞争) doesn’t stop there—it spreads throughout the whole competition. Jiangsu has gone through many historical changes, bringing together cities with different cultures under one province. This has created a strong sense of competition among them. This spirit is captured in the Su Chao motto (格言): “Fight for the glory (荣誉) of your city.” There is also a popular joke among fans: “The game comes first; friendship comes fourteenth.” It’s a joke, but it shows how much they care about their city’s pride. 46. Why do people online call the match between Suqian and Xuzhou the “Chu-Han Contention” on the football field? A. Because both cities have a long history of playing football. B. Because the two teams often win the Su Chao league. C. Because Xiang Yu and Liu Bang had the Chu-Han Contention in history. D. Because the match is always held on the same day as the Chu-Han Contention anniversary. 47. What has made the cities in Jiangsu have a strong sense of competition in Su Chao? A. Jiangsu has many big football stadiums for matches. B The Su Chao league gives a lot of money to the winning team. C. Jiangsu’s historical changes brought cities with different cultures together. D. The fans of each city don’t like other cities’ teams. 48. Which of the following statements is right? A. Liu Bang was historically born in present-day Suqian. B. The league’s motto promotes (促进) friendship above competition. C. The Su Chao league matches primarily focus on building friendship between cities. D. The modern match between Suqian and Xuzhou shows their historical figures’ conflict (人物冲突). 49. Which sentence matches the Su Chao motto “Fight for the glory of your city”? A. Players should care more about their own fame than team wins. B. Fans’ excitement shows they love their city very much. C. The league does not want cities to compete with each other. D Teams must learn history before playing matches. 【答案】46. C 47. C 48. D 49. B 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍江苏足球城市联赛中宿迁与徐州的比赛被称作“楚汉之争”的历史渊源，及赛事竞争氛围与格言内涵。 【46题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Xiang Yu was from Xiaxiang, which is now Suqian. Liu Bang was from Peixian, which is now Xuzhou. Their battle for control of China, known as the Chu-Han Contention”可知，这场比赛被称为足球场上的“楚汉之争”是因为历史上项羽和刘邦曾有楚汉之争，且两人分别与现在的宿迁、徐州相关，故选C。 【47题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Jiangsu has gone through many historical changes, bringing together cities with different cultures under one province. This has created a strong sense of competition among them.”可知，江苏的历史变迁让不同文化的城市汇聚一堂，这使得这些城市在赛事中产生了强烈的竞争意识，故选C。 【48题详解】 推理判断题。根据“Many people online refer to it as the ‘Chu-Han Contention’ on the football field.”以及“Xiang Yu was from Xiaxiang, which is now Suqian. Liu Bang was from Peixian, which is now Xuzhou. Their battle for control of China, known as the Chu-Han Contention”可知，宿迁和徐州的现代足球比赛对应着历史上项羽、刘邦的楚汉之争，体现了二者历史人物的冲突，故选D。 【49题详解】 推理判断题。根据“‘Fight for the glory of your city.’ There is also a popular joke among fans: ‘The game comes first; friendship comes fourteenth.’ It’s a joke, but it shows how much they care about their city’s pride.”可知，赛事格言“为城市荣誉而战”体现了对城市荣誉的重视，而球迷的玩笑也反映出他们对城市自豪感的在意，选项B表述与之相符，故选B。 E Crane: The crane is an important part in Chinese legend.

Nicole also wished she could easily talk to people and make new friends. Nicole didn’t like her voice. She thought it was too low. Anyway, she was always unsure about herself. Nicole’s confidence was so low that her friends started to get angry with her. They kept telling her that she was fine, but Nicole didn’t think so. Nicole’s mom encouraged her to try out for the basketball team. Nicole did not want to, because she didn’t want to be refused. After days of convincing (劝说)，Nicole finally agreed. Nicole decided to have a try. She played when she was younger, but had not played in the recent five years. When Nicole went to the try-out, she looked at all the people she was competing against. She started to compare herself to the other girls. They were all shorter than her, but they were more confident. Nicole tried to put them out of her mind. The coach asked the girls to shoot free throws (罚球投篮), run short distance (距离), and then finally, asked them to play a game. Nicole was doing well, and she was surprised. She didn’t realize that she still had basketball skills. Nicole made the team and she knew she was good at something. After the try-out, she learnt an important lesson: _______. 53.

B ①Sometimes a little self-criticism (自我批评) is not a bad thing. We all can learn much from our mistakes. However, too much of it may influence your brain and your life. Negative (消极的) self-talk is that little voice in your head. It says you are not good enough. It reminds you of all your faults and mistakes. ②Dr. Steven, an educator and researcher on how the mind controls behavior, said that some good students who study hard normally do not do well in a test because of “test anxiety (考试焦虑)”. ③Lindsay was one of Steven’s best students at a community college. She came to class early, took part in discussions and did all of her homework. However, she did poorly in exams. When Steven asked her how she felt before a test, she told him she was very nervous. She wondered why she had trouble remembering what she had studied. She did not trust that she knew the right answers. This is an example of negative self-talk, which can influence a student’s grades. ④Dr. Steven took Lindsay’s negative self-talks and turned them into positive (积极的) questions. Before a test, he told Lindsay to say to herself: Why am I so relaxed when I take an exam? Why do I remember everything I study for an exam? ▲ ⑤Lindsay took his advice. Two weeks later, she took an exam in another class and scored 15 points higher than she had on an earlier exam. Four weeks later, she earned an “A” on the final exam in Steven’s class. Lindsay left community college and went to a four-year university. She continued to use the method of positive self-talk. When Dr. Steven visited her a year later, she had good news to share: she had got straight A’s on all of her exams. ⑥ Dr. Steven saw student after student succeed with his method. More importantly, they got their self-confidence back. And he does not just help his students. He also encourages his friends and neighbors to get rid of negative self-talk gradually in their life. In a television interview, he said, “We can program ourselves for success in class or in life, or we can program ourselves for failure.” 39. What’s the purpose of Paragraph 3? A. To introduce Lindsay. B. To catch readers’ interests. C. To support Dr. Steven’s idea. D. To connect the next paragraph. 40. Which of the following can be put in the blank in Paragraph 4? A. Why do I trust my answers? B. Why am I so worried? C. Why do I doubt myself? D. Why am I so weak in the exam? 41. What’s the structure of the passage? A. B. C. D. 42. What’s the best title of the passage? A. Negative Self-talk Makes You Succeed. B. Negative Self-talk Makes You Better. C. Positive Self-talk Makes a Great Difference. D. Positive Self-talk Can Change Your Goal. C If music makes you smarter and exercise helps you to think, surely exercising to music can turn you into a clever person. A team of scientists from Ohio State University did experiments on 33 volunteers who were getting better from heart disease after operations. They found those volunteers who exercised while listening to Italian musician Antonio Vivaldi’s The Four Seasons did much better on language ability tests than without music. It is also used in medical fields for patients who have had head hurts because of its moderate tempo (适中的节奏). “Exercise seems to cause positive changes in the nerve (神经) system and these changes may improve the learning ability of people with heart disease,” said the psychologist Charles Emery, who led the study. “And listening to music is thought to enhance understanding. We just wanted to put the two results together,” he added. The volunteers said they felt better emotionally and physically after exercising with or without music. But their improvement on the test doubled after listening to music during exercise. Scientists have proved that music can be good for health and education. It helps reduce stress and sadness, encourage relaxation or sleep, wake up the body and improve memory and thoughts. Scientists have been studying the results of exercise to music on learning and understanding since the early 1950s. A study showed that students who listened to Mozart’s violin-pieces and exercised went on to get higher marks in an IQ test. With important exams drawing near, your parents will not probably allow you to listen to music or play sports. But perhaps now you have good reasons to argue with them. 43. What does the underlined word enhance mean? A. Produce B. provide C. improve D. impress 44. From the last paragraph we can learn that ________. A. you should follow your parents’ words B. you have some good reasons to join in an IQ test C. good marks depend on listening to music and exercising D. exercise to music might help you get higher grades in tests 45. Which of the following statements is true? A. Music helps volunteers get better from heart disease. B. Exercise is used for people with head hurts. C. Exercise causes no changes in health without music. D. Music can help you relax and feel energetic. D A 2,000-year-old story is now on Jiangsu’s “Su Chao” football field—the famous Chu-Han Contention (楚汉之争) is back! The Jiangsu Football City League, also called “Su Super League” or “Su Chao”, is currently being held. It is an official competition where teams from 13 cities in Jiangsu province play against each other. One of the most exciting matches is between Suqian and Xuzhou. Many people online refer to it as the “Chu-Han Contention” on the football field. This name comes from a famous period in Chinese history. After the Qin Dynasty (221—206 BC) ended, Xiang Yu, a powerful military leader, declared himself the King of Chu. He gave Liu Bang the title of King of Han. Xiang Yu was from Xiaxiang, which is now Suqian. Liu Bang was from Peixian, which is now Xuzhou. Their battle for control of China, known as the Chu-Han Contention, ended with Liu Bang’s victory. This led to the start of the Western Han Dynasty (202 BC—AD 8). Today, in the Su Chao league, every time these two cities play, the match becomes interesting and full of passion (激情). But the rivalry (竞争) doesn’t stop there—it spreads throughout the whole competition. Jiangsu has gone through many historical changes, bringing together cities with different cultures under one province. This has created a strong sense of competition among them. This spirit is captured in the Su Chao motto (格言): “Fight for the glory (荣誉) of your city.” There is also a popular joke among fans: “The game comes first; friendship comes fourteenth.” It’s a joke, but it shows how much they care about their city’s pride. 46. Why do people online call the match between Suqian and Xuzhou the “Chu-Han Contention” on the football field? A. Because both cities have a long history of playing football. B. Because the two teams often win the Su Chao league. C. Because Xiang Yu and Liu Bang had the Chu-Han Contention in history. D. Because the match is always held on the same day as the Chu-Han Contention anniversary. 47. What has made the cities in Jiangsu have a strong sense of competition in Su Chao? A. Jiangsu has many big football stadiums for matches. B. The Su Chao league gives a lot of money to the winning team. C Jiangsu’s historical changes brought cities with different cultures together. D. The fans of each city don’t like other cities’ teams. 48. Which of the following statements is right? A. Liu Bang was historically born in present-day Suqian. B. The league’s motto promotes (促进) friendship above competition. C The Su Chao league matches primarily focus on building friendship between cities. D. The modern match between Suqian and Xuzhou shows their historical figures’ conflict (人物冲突). 49. Which sentence matches the Su Chao motto “Fight for the glory of your city”? A. Players should care more about their own fame than team wins. B. Fans’ excitement shows they love their city very much. C. The league does not want cities to compete with each other. D. Teams must learn history before playing matches. E Crane: The crane is an important part in Chinese legend. Next to the phoenix (凤凰), the crane is Chinese people’s favourite bird symbol.
