He tried hard and pestered (纠缠)his relatives, but they had problems of their own. He answered advertisements until he could not afford to buy any more stamps. Boris grew annoyed, then depressed, then a little hardened. Still he went on trying and still he failed. He began to think that he had no future at all.‎ ‎“Why don't you start your own business?” one of his uncles told him. “The world is a money-locker. You'd better find a way of opening it.”‎ ‎“But what can I do？”‎ ‎“Get out and have a look round,” advised his uncle in a vague sort of way. “See what people want; then give it to them, and they will pay for it.”‎ Boris began to cycle around the town and found a suitable piece of a waste ground in the end. Then he set up his business as a cycle repairer. He worked hard, made friends with his customers and gradually managed to build up his goodwill and profit. A few months later, he found that he had more work than he could deal with by himself. He found a number of empty shops but they were all no good：in the wrong position，too expensive or with some other snag(障碍)．But at long ‎ last, he managed to find an empty shop on a new estate（土地，地区） where there were plenty of customers but no competition.‎ Boris and his assistant taught themselves how to repair scooters and motorcycles. Slowly but surely the profits increased and the business developed. At last, Boris had managed to open the moneylocker and found bank notes and gold coins inside.‎ ‎4. Which of the following would be the BEST title for the passage?‎ A. Goodwill is the key to success  ‎ B. The world is a moneylocker C. No education, no future    ‎ D. Difficulty of starting a small business ‎5. Boris started his career by________.‎ A. cycling around the town    ‎ B. developing a waste ground C. repairing cycles     ‎ D. buying empty shops ‎6. Boris finally chose an empty shop on a new estate because________.‎ A. it was not so expensive B. he had a lot of old customers there C. he could make good use of his skills there D. there were good opportunities there ‎7. We can infer from the last paragraph that Boris______.‎ A. still couldn't make good profits    ‎ B. set off in a successful career C. found a lot of gold coins by accident  ‎ D. had great difficulty running his business C All sports people are under a lot of pressure to win, so they have to be spiritually strong. In the past, athletes only trained to get physically fit. Today, professional sports psychologists (心理学家) use scientific techniques to help athletes get spiritually fit, too. ‎ England player Johnny Wilkinson described some of the pressures he had felt. He played ‎ very well at the 2003 World Cup but after that he couldn’t play well. He found that he had a terrible fear of failure. Under the help of sports psychologists, he realized that reality changes depending on how we look at it and then everything went better. ‎ In team sports, psychologists help players in different ways, one of which is to create a team spirit. “It’s very difficult to get all the players to think in the same way, but when you see a team that works as a unit, everything happens naturally and easily,” said Professor Dave Collins, a sports psychologist.‎ When there is a team spirit, the players all take responsibility and don’t blame individual players for mistakes. In this way, they feel more confident and can concentrate better. Sometimes players are under a lot of pressure in a game. For example, a player may have to take a punishment kick. To reduce his fear of making a mistake, sports psychologists use a method called visualization (可视化). Psychologists simply ask players to imagine taking the perfect kick. When players do this, certain areas of the brain become active. An interesting fact is that they are the same areas of the brain as when the player takes the real action. ‎ Today, sports psychologists have an important job to do. They help athletes become spiritually fit and develop a winning outlook. Having a winning outlook really can make the difference between winning and losing.‎ ‎8. What can we learn from the first paragraph?‎ A. Athletes can’t stay physically fit without enough training. ‎ B. Sports psychologists can control athletes’ mind in the match.‎ C. Wrong views on success have bad effects on athletes’ health.‎ D. Some scientific methods have replaced traditional training.‎ ‎9. Wilkinson felt better as he realized that _______. ‎ A. everything was changing and was difficult to expect ‎ B. things turned to be better when looking at them differently ‎ C. psychology was very important to an athlete like him D. it was unnecessary whether he could control his mind ‎ ‎10. What’s the importance of team spirit according to the text?‎ A. It can increase individuals’ sense of responsibility.‎ B. It guarantees the perfect performance of everyone.‎ C. It controls every athlete’s mind when necessary.‎ D. It makes all athletes more skillful during a match.‎ ‎11. It can be inferred from the text that _______. ‎ A. sports psychologists always ask athletes to use their imagination ‎ B. the spirits of a psychologist can decide the outlook of a team ‎ C. athletes need to play with psychologists to improve their skills D. an active attitude usually helps a player do better in real action ‎ D A new study has discovered that meditation(冥想) and oxygen sport together reduce depression. The Rutgers University study found that this mind and body combination，done twice a week for only two months，reduced the symptoms for a group of students by 40 percent.‎ ‎“We are excited by the findings because we saw such a meaningful improvement in both clinically depressed and nondepressed students，” said lead author Dr Brandon Alderman，“It is the first time that both of these two behavioral ways have been looked at together for dealing with depression.”‎ Researchers believe the two activities have an interactive effect in combating depression. Alderman and Dr Tracey Shors discovered that a combination of mental and physical training(MAP) enabled students with major depressive disorder not to let problems or negative thoughts defeat them.‎ Rutgers researchers say those who participated in the study began with 30 minutes of focused attention meditation followed by 30 minutes of oxygen sport. They were told that if their thoughts drifted to the past or the future they should refocus on their breathing，enabling those with depression to accept moment changes in attention.‎ Shors, who studies the production of new brain cells in the hippocampus—part of the brain involved in memory and learning—says scientists have shown in animal models that oxygen sport exercise keeps a large number of certain cells alive.‎ The idea for the human intervention(干预)came from her laboratory studies，she says，with the main goal of helping individuals acquire new skills so that they can learn to recover from stressful life events.‎ By learning to focus their attention and exercise，people who are fighting depression can ‎ acquire new learning skills that can help them process information and reduce the overwhelming recollection of memories from the past，Shors says.‎ ‎“We know these treatments can be practiced over a lifetime and that they will be effective in improving mental health.”said Alderman.“The good news is that this intervention can be practiced by anyone at any time and at no cost.”‎ ‎12．What made the research so different?‎ A．Adopting a way of meaningful talk.‎ B．Combining the two ways to treat depression.‎ C．Treating depression with special medicine.‎ D．Comparing the depressed with the nondepressed.‎ ‎13．The underlined word “combating” in Paragraph 3 can be replaced by “______ ”．‎ A．fighting B．Identifying C．distinguishing D．examining ‎14．What did the participants do in the research?‎ A．They did oxygen sport half an hour before thinking.‎ B．They thought quietly and then took exercise.‎ C．They took exercise longer than they thought.‎ D．They took exercise while thinking quietly.‎ ‎15．What is Shors’ main purpose of her studies?‎ A．To find out certain brain cells of humans.‎ B．To study the production of new brain cells.‎ C．To offer people a new method to treat stress.‎ D．To decide the links between stress and exercise.‎ 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）‎ 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填人空白处的最佳选项。其中有两项为多余选项。‎ Talking to strangers along your travels can change your trip into an adventure. Here are rules of thumb to serve as your guide.‎ Don't ignore your fellow tourists. When you go to some place off the beaten path, you're likely to meet other tourists there. Find them, and ask where you would go. 16 ‎ Abandon your phone. Phones often get between you and the surroundings, ruining your ‎ chances to make contact with the people you see. 17 , take a deep breath and put it in a different pocket or cover it with tape.‎ ‎ 18 .The easiest way to do this is to talk to people who are in "open roles", such as anyone in a public service job, or a taxi driver. Or ask someone seated near you; ask where the person's favorite street is; ask if there's a residential area where it would be nice to take a walk.‎ Use a map-or none at all. 19 . However, the truth is, sometimes those small streets are nowhere to be found with a map. So ask for directions a lot. Asking for any kind of help is the key to many doors.‎ Most Important: Ask good questions. Finding good questions means observing and noticing. A well-turned question shows that you are really paying attentions you are curious and ready to listen. 20 .‎ A. Let strangers make your plans B. Maps can be of great assistance C. When the unwillingness gets in the way D. A good question will get you everywhere E. They are going to offer advice made of gold F. Those fellow tourists can make sense of your journey G. If abandoning your phone isn't practical or feels insecure to you 第二部分：英语知识运用（满分30分） ‎ 完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）‎ 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C、D中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。‎ Hello, Mr. Wi-Fi.
