Go for the Gold
Diana Golden was 12 years old when she found she had bone cancer. Doctors recommended 36 her right leg above the knee.
37 Diana heard the news, she asked the first question that came into her mind, “Will I still be able to 38 ?”
“When the doctors said yes,” she later said, “I thought it wouldn’t be too 39 .”
That was Diana’s 40 to life. Losing a leg would cause most children to lose 41 , but Diana refused to think about the 42 side. “Losing a leg?” she’d say. “It’s nothing. A body part.”
Most of all, Diana didn’t want to let cancer stop her from doing what she loved—skiing. She had been on ski since five. After the operation, Diana worked hard to get back to the 43 . “I always skied, and I intended to keep on skiing. There was never any question in my mind about that,” she 44 . Seven months after losing her leg, Diana met her 45 . She was back out on the slopes (斜坡).
Skiing wasn’t quite the same with just one leg, but Diana made the best of it. She 46 to go faster on one leg than most people could go on two. When she was just 17, she became a member of the U.S. Disabled Ski Team.
After high school, Diana went on to Dartmouth College. There she saw how top two-legged skiers trained. 47 not to be left behind, Diana began training with the Dartmouth team. When they ran up and down the steps of the football stadium, she went up and down the steps too—by 48 . “I had to 49 ,” she later explained. “I was an athlete. I had one leg, which meant I had to do it 50 .”
Her constant efforts finally paid off. In 1987, Diana placed 10th in a race 51 some of the best nondisabled skiers in the country. And in 1988, the magazine Ski Racing selected her “Skier of the Year”, breaking the 52 of electing able-bodied World Cup athletes.
As a result of her 53 and determination, Diana has changed the way the world looks at
54 athletes. People have begun to see them as strong and competent. “Everyone has some kind of ‘disability’,” Diana says, “It’s what we do with our abilities that 55 .”

第三部分：阅读理解（共两节，40分）

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
Proper Care and Use of a Microscope
A microscope is a useful instrument for observing small objects. It shows people the details that are undetectable when they observe with their own eyes. Before using the microscope, please read the instruction below.
Caution:
Microscopes are both delicate and expensive, and must be handled with care.
1. Always carry the microscope with two hands—one supporting the base and the other on the arm.
2. Keep the stage clean and always use a glass slide for specimens, the things tested or examined.
3. To avoid pressing the glass slide when focusing, begin with the lens (镜头) close to the specimen and gradually back off to focus.
4. Keep the microscope covered to prevent the buildup of
dust while it is being stored.
How to Use the Microscope:
1. Plug in the lamp.
2. Place a specimen on a slide.
3. Adjust the mirror so it reflects light from the room up into the objective lens.
4. Place your slide with the specimen directly over the center of the glass circle on the stage. If it is a wet slide, be sure the bottom of the slide is dry.
5. With the LOW POWER objective lens placed over the slide, use the coarse focus knob to lower the lens to the lowest point.
6. Look through the eyepiece with one eye while closing the other eye. Slowly raise the lens until the focus is relatively clear.
7. Use the fine focus knob to make very small changes to the focus.
8. Without changing the focus knobs, switch to the HIGH POWER objective lens. Once you have switched to HIGH POWER, use only the fine focus knob to make the image sharper.
56. When using a microscope, you should use a glass slide for specimens to ______.
A. keep the stage clean
B. avoid pressing the lens
C. prevent the buildup of dust
D. support the base and the arm
57. When observing onion cells on a slide, which of the following should you do first?
A. Lower the lens.
B. Adjust the mirror.
C. Turn the fine focus knob.
D. Look through the eyepiece.
58. What is the main purpose of this passage?
A. To show the reader the various parts of a microscope.
B. To persuade the reader to buy this type of microscope.
C. To instruct the reader how to use a microscope with care.
D. To show the reader some advantages of using a microscope.

B
When I first entered college, I was afraid that I was not “up to it”. I was afraid of being away from my family for the first time. Here I would have to make friends with strange people and perhaps also compete with them for grades in courses I would take. Were they smarter than I was? Could I keep up with them? Would they accept me?
I soon learned that my life was now up to me. I had to set a study program if I were to succeed in my courses. I had to regulate the time I spent in my study and socializing. I had to decide when to go to bed, what to eat, and with whom to be friendly. These questions I had to answer for myself.
At first, life was rough. I made mistakes in how I used my time. I also made mistakes in how I chose my first friends in college. Shortly, however, I had my life under control. I managed to get myself to class on time, do my homework and hand them in, and pass my first exams with satisfying grades. In addition, I developed a circle of friends with whom I felt comfortable and could share my fears. I set up my own routine, one that really met my needs.
As a result, I began to look upon myself from a different perspective (视角). I began to see myself as a person responsible for myself and responsible for my friends and family. It felt good to make decisions and see them turn out to be wise ones. I guess this is what people call “growing up”.
What did life have in store for me? At that stage in my life, I was really uncertain where I would go and what I would do with the years ahead of me. But I knew I would be able to handle what was ahead because I had successfully overcome the major problem in my life: I had made the change from a person dependent on his family to a person who was responsible for himself.

59. The author was anxious about his college life at first because ______.
A. he hated to get on with strangers
B. he lacked some specialist knowledge
C. he was at a loss in the new surroundings
D. he was afraid of making mistakes in front of others
60. We can learn from the author’s early experience at college that ______.
A. he got used to the new life without much trouble
B. he lost the ability to handle things independently
C. he came to realize he should be in charge of his own business
D. he was a failure in many aspects except in school performance
61. The author’s college life finally brought him a sense that ______.
A. he became a person caring for others
B. he was smarter than his fellow students
C. he brought confidence back in making decisions
D. he could deal with his personal matters independently
62. Which is the best title for the passage?
A. Memories of My Time in College B. College: A Turning Point in My Life
C. My Colorful College Life D. College Life Brings Me Pressure

C
How Much Exercise Do I Need?
When it comes to exercise, less is not more—but it’s certainly better than none. Physical inactivity accounts for as many as 23 percent of all deaths from major chronic (慢性的) diseases, yet almost one of every three Americans is sedentary (spending a lot of time sitting down). According to the Centers for Disease Control, 29.4 percent of those surveyed (调查) report they have no free-time physical activity at all. City people tend to be more active than country folks, with 27.4 percent saying they are sedentary, compared with 36.6 percent of those in rural areas.
Light activity can improve physical and mental well-being. While light activity is good, moderate (not very large or very small) activity is even better, and health experts encourage everyone to have at least 30 minutes a day of moderate physical activity. But you don’t have to head to a gym. As recent studies have confirmed, “lifestyle” activities, such as walking, house cleaning and gardening, are as effective as a structured exercise program in improving heart function, lowering blood pressure and keeping or losing weight.
In one study, overweight, sedentary middle-aged men and women who learned behavioral skills to make them more physically active, such as walking around airports or train stations while waiting for a departure, reduced their body fat percentage and improved their blood pressure and heart function as much as individuals participating in structured programs at a fitness center. In another study, fat women ranging in age from 21 to 60 who adopted a more active lifestyle lost as much weight as women in a low-impact aerobics (有氧健身) program—and regained fewer pounds in the following year.
Recognizing the value of different levels and types of activity, the American College of Sports Medicine has changed its recommendations on quantity and quality of exercise to include flexibility as well as aerobic and muscle exercise and to acknowledge that multiple short periods of exercise during the day are nearly as beneficial as one long session.

63. By saying that almost one third of Americans are sedentary, the author means ______.
A. they take proper exercise to be healthy
B. they know nothing about light activity
C. they are very fond of physical activity
D. they take little free-time physical activity
64. We can learn from the passage that ______.
A. light activity is especially good for the middle-aged people
B. people like light activity because it won’t make them feel tired
C. people only need to do light activity three times a week to keep fit
D. light activity promotes people’s well-being physically and mentally
65. What do health experts suggest about moderate activity?
A. No less than half an hour’s moderate activity daily can do us good.
B. Moderate activity is no better than light activity to people.
C. “Lifestyle” activities don’t belong to moderate activity.
D. People may go to the gym to take moderate activity.
66. According to the passage, which of the following belongs to a structured exercise program？
A. Doing gymnastics at a gym. B. Taking outdoor activities.
C. Walking. D. Gardening.

D
Is Positive Thinking Powerful?
The $11 billion self-help industry is built on the idea that you should turn negative thoughts like “I never do anything right” into positive ones like “I can succeed”. But was the positive thinking advocate Norman Vincent Peale right? Is there power in positive thinking?
Researchers in Canada just published a study in Psychological Science that says trying to get people to think more positively can actually have the opposite effect: it can simply stress how unhappy they are. The study’s authors, Joanne Wood and John Lee of the University of Waterloo and Elaine Perunovic of the University of New Brunswick, begin by using older research showing that when people get feedback (反馈) which they believe is overly positive, they actually feel worse, not better. If you tell your friend who is not very clever that he has the potential of an Einstein, you’re just underlining his faults. In the 1990s, a team including psychologist Joel Cooper of Princeton conducted an experiment. The participants were asked to write essays opposing financial support for the disabled, expressing little sympathy for them. When these participants were later praised for their sympathy, they felt even worse about what they had written.
In this experiment, Wood, Lee and Perunovic measured 68 students’ self-respect. The participants were then asked to write down their thoughts and feelings for four minutes. Every 15 seconds, one group of students heard a bell. When it rang, they were supposed to tell themselves, “I am lovable.” Those with low self-respect didn’t feel better after the forced self-approval. In fact, their feelings turned significantly worse than those of members of the control group, who weren’t urged to think positive thoughts.
The study provides support for newer forms for psychotherapy (心理治疗) that urge people to accept their negative thoughts and feelings rather than fight them. In the fighting, we not only often fail but can make things worse. Meditation (静思) techniques, on the contrary, can teach people to realize their shortcomings from a larger, more realistic perspective. Call it the power of negative thinking.

67. What is the finding of the Canadian researchers?
A. There can be no simple solutions to psychological problems.
B. Encouraging positive thinking may do harm to people.
C. The power of positive thinking is limited.
D. Unhappy people cannot think positively.
68. The underlined part in Paragraph 2 probably means ______.
A. you are pointing out the mistakes he has made
B. you are not taking his mistakes seriously enough
C. you are stressing the fact that he is not intelligent
D. you are not trying to make him feel better about his faults
69. What do we learn from the experiment of Wood, Lee and Perunovic?
A. Self-approval can bring a positive change to one’s feelings.
B. People with low self-respect seldom write down their true feelings.
C. It is important for people to continually improve their self-respect.
D. Forcing people to think positive thoughts may lower their self-respect.
70. It can be learned from the last paragraph that ______.
A. people can avoid making mistakes through meditation
B. different people tend to have different ways of thinking
C. meditation may prove to be a good form of psychotherapy
D. the effects of positive thinking differ from person to person

根据短文内容，从短文后的七个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。
Different Cultures
The cultures of the East and the West really distinguish each other a lot. 71
The origin of the eastern cultures is mainly from two countries: China and India. Both of the two cultures are fostered by rivers—the Yellow River in China and the Hindu River in India. 72
Then in Tang Dynasty of China, the Chinese culture gradually went overseas to Japan, mixed into the Japanese society and shaped the Japanese culture nowadays. Though a bit different from the Chinese one, it belongs to the same system.
When the two mother rivers gave birth to the Eastern culture, another famous culture was brought up on the Mesopotamian Plain—the Mesopotamian Civilization. This civilization later on developed into the cultures of Ancient Greece and Ancient Rome. 73 Like the Chinese culture, the European one also crossed waters. When the British settled down in America, their culture went with them over the Atlantic Ocean. So the American culture doesn’t distinguish from the European one a lot.
74 Take the language system for example. In the East, most languages belong to the pictographic language while the Western languages are mostly based on the Latin system. Other causes like human race difference counts as well. But what’s more, due to the far distance and the steep areas between the East and West, the two cultures seldom communicate until recent centuries. So they grew up totally in their own ways with almost no interference (干扰) from the other.
The differences are everywhere. 75 But different cultures make the world of 21st century more colorful. The cultural gap should not be the obstacle (障碍) to the civilization of human being. It ought to be the motivation of our going farther.
A. Let us work together to keep a variety of culture.
B. One important thing is to learn about other cultures.
C. And these two are well-known as the base of the European culture.
D. At the same time, some other differences add to the cultural differences.
E. This is because the culture systems are two separate systems on the whole.
F. They helped the two cultures develop for centuries and form their own styles.
G. They are obvious and affect people’s ways of thinking and their views of the world.
