In order to become a positive thinker, determination and consistency are important. The first thing to know about positive thinking is that

11、 everyone can do it. With certain cognitive (認(rèn)知的) and behavioral changes, we can all become positive thinkers. Another important factor is that being a positive thinker does not mean you become numb to anything that is not working properly in your life or is negative - it just means that you approac

12、h life and face challenges with a healthier outlook.Instead of selectively attending to negative events, focus on the positive ones. Then pay attention to the delayed consequences of your behavior rather than the immediate ones. For example, if a job is not going like you want, focus on the fact tha

13、t you have a job and how you can take your time to make the situation better.Challenge any internal attributions and see if you compare your behavior to standards that are excessively rigid and perfectionistic. If so, change these and be reasonable with your comparisons. For example, if you constant

14、ly compare your weaknesses with other peoples strengths, then switch this and compare yourself with those who are doing poorer than you as well. Overall, people who focus more on their strengths than their weaknesses but at the same time are aware of their weaknesses have a healthier self-evaluation

15、 result.When faced with too much fear about a situation, imagine the worst case and visualize a solution for it, then let go of fear. This way, you will be prepared for anything and your fear will not block you from being open and creative to different solutions. For example, if you are constantly w

16、orried about losing your job up to a point where it is creating a lot of anxiety and fear and is effecting your performance and your happiness negatively, then think of losing your job, visualize how you will handle it, find solutions in your mind and then let go of the thought and the fear attached

17、 to it.So positive thinkers are better problem solvers and have better interactions. In addition to that, people who are positive thinkers are happier and more satisfied with their life.1、Why is positive thinking a significant element of happiness?AIt means that one is blind to the troubles and diff

18、iculties that exist.BIt means that one constantly compares everything with other peoples.CIt means that one is strong in mind and has nothing to be afraid of.DIt means that one approaches life and faces challenges more healthily.2、What does the text suggest about the job you dont like?AQuitting it a

19、nd finding a better one.BKeeping and trying to make it better.CBeing negative and numb to it.DChallenging yourself with a new outlook.3、What does the author intend to tell us in paragraph 4?ABe prepared for the worst: and let go of fear.BBeing constantly worried will lose your job.CFear will prevent

20、 you being open and creative.DThere is nothing to fear if well prepared.4、What can be a suitable title for the text?AHow to focus on the positive eventsBHow to be a positive thinkerCWhat to do when faced with fearDWhat to know of self-evaluation22（8分）Gorillas(大猩猩) are on the edge of extinction.

22、Congo River Basin is contributing to forest loss there, and is speeding up the loss of mountain gorillas at a shockingly fast rate. While efforts are being made to deal with this issue, the mining of coltan within gorilla habitat continues. It is very difficult to know which phones contain coltan mi

Often, however, it is presented to us as being so abstract that it seems impossibly distant. For those of you looking for something a little more concrete, a new report sugges

30、ts that the effects of climate change may significantly affect coffee.The report, put out by The Climate Institute, describes the effects of climate change on various coffee-growing nations and the resultant effects on the plants and those who grow them.Coffee Arabica plants, which produce 70% of al

31、l commercial coffee, can be adversely affected by even a half-degree change in typical weather conditions. This sensitivity to temperature puts the plant at increased risk of the effects of climate change.In Central America the average temperature has risen by a full degree Celsius since 1960. In Et

32、hiopia the average temperature has increased by l. 3 degrees. This increase is enough to have notable effects on the plants. In Tanzania the productivity per hectare of coffee has fallen by half since the 1960s due to changes in temperature.Indeed, studies claim that by 2050 the area of the world su

33、itable for growing coffee will be cut by half. Coffee production is likely to then be pushed to higher elevations(海拔) to take advantage of lower temperatures, but this will not be enough to make up for lost lowland areas.Coffee is the second most traded goods by developing nations, and the inability

34、 of producer nations to export it could cause dramatic chain reactions in their economies.Millions of people make a living in the production, processing, transport, and sale of coffee;their livelihoods would stand to take a blow as growing areas decrease and prices rise.As the temperature keeps risi

35、ng, your cup of coffee will become much more expensive,and it may also carry an aftertaste bitterer than usual, for all those workers in the coffee belt left without the means to make a living as conditions worsen.

39、ity of NanjingThe Chinese version of Boeris Bosco Verticale, or vertical forest, will be his first project in Asia The project will consist of two neighboring towers that will be coated with 23 different species of trees and more than 2,500 kinds of bushes hanging down the sides of the buildings The

40、 structures will be built with the ability to house offices and will feature a 247-room luxury hotel, as well as a museum and even a green architecture school The towers are currently under construction and are set for completion within the next yearBut two buildings arent enough for the ambitious B

41、oeri as he now has even bolder plans for China to create “forest cities” in a country that has become known as an urban center choking on poisonous gases and dustIn an interview about his plans to “greenify” the city and country Boeri said, “We have been asked to design an entire city where you dont

42、 only have one tall building, but you have 100 or 200 buildings of different sizes, all with trees and plants on the sides.” Boeri continued, “We are working very seriously on designing all the different buildingsI think they will start to build at the end of this yearBy 2020 we could imagine having

43、 the first forest city in China.”Although these towers will lend a huge hand in decreasing air pollution in Chinas eastern city, Boeri has said, it will take more than a pair of tree-covered skyscrapers to really solve Chinas pollution crisisThis is why the Italian architect hopes to repeat his desi

It is ranging from geometric patterns to drawi

48、ngs of different animals and stylized human-like forms. The ancient lines can only be truly taken in from high in the air, leaving generations puzzled as to how these precise works could have been completed long before the documented invention of human flight.The Lines were first spotted when commer

49、cial airlines began flying across the Peruvian desert in the 1920,s. Who built them and what was their purpose? Are they roads, star pointers, maybe even a gigantic map? If the people who lived here 2,000 years ago had only a simple technology, how did they manage to construct such precise figures?

50、Did they have a plan? These markings are like a vast puzzle.The Nazca Lines are the most outstanding group of geoglyphs in the world. There are also huge geoglyphs in Egypt, Malta, United States (Mississippi and California), Chile, Bolivia and in other countries. But the Nazca geoglyphs, because of

51、their numbers, characteristics, dimensions and cultural continuity as they were made and remade throughout a certain history period, form the most impressive archeological (考古學(xué)的) group.The Nazca plain is unique for its ability to preserve the markings upon it, due to the combination of the climate (

52、one of the driest on Earth, with only twenty minutes of rainfall per year) and the flat, stony ground which minimizes the effect of the wind at ground level. With no dust or sand to cover the plain and little rain or wind to erode (腐蝕) it, lines drawn here tend to stay drawn. These factors, combined

53、 with the existence of lighter-colored subsoil beneath the desert surface, provide a vast writing pad that is suited to the artist who wants to leave his mark eternal.1、502What can we know about the Nazca Lines from the first two paragraphs?AThey were built as a big map.BThey were formed by nature.C

54、They are ancient lines in caves.DThey are huge markings in a desert.2、504How many factors make the Nazca Lines the most impressive?AOne. BTwo.CThree. DFour.3、506Why are the Nazca Lines well preserved?ABecause of the wind at ground level.BBecause of the existence of soft soil.CBecause of the climate

55、and geography.DBecause of the thick sand on the top.4、508What does the underlined word “eternal” probably mean?ANon-stop. BEver-lasting.CReal-life. DHigh-end.第三部分 語言知識運(yùn)用（共兩節(jié)）第一節(jié)（每小題1.5分，滿分30分）閱讀下面短文，從短文后各題所給的A、B、C和D四個(gè)選項(xiàng)中，選出可以填入空白處的最佳選項(xiàng)26（30分）閱讀下面短文，掌握其大意，從每題所給的A、B、C、D四個(gè)選項(xiàng)中，選出最佳選項(xiàng)，并在答題卡上將該項(xiàng)涂黑。Appeal
