Always bear in mind that your own determination to succeed is more important than any other one thing.”‎ Lincoln knew. He had gone through it all. He had never, in his entire life, had more than a total of one year’s schooling. And books? Lincoln once said he had walked to borrow every book within fifty miles of his home. A fire was usually kept going all night in the small house and he read by the light of it.‎ He walked twenty or thirty miles to hear a speaker and, returning home, he practiced his talks everywhere—in the fields, in the woods, before the crowds. He joined several societies and practiced speaking on the topics of the day.‎ A lack of confidence always troubled him. In the presence of women he was shy and dumb. Even when he was in love with Mary Todd, he used to sit there, nervous and silent, unable to find words, listening while she did the talking. Yet that was the man who, by practice and home study, made himself into the speaker who debated with the famous speaker Douglas! That was the man who, in Gettysburg address rose to the heights of eloquence (雄辩) that have seldom been achieved in all the human history.‎ Small wonder that, speaking of his own great barriers and painful struggle, he wrote, “If you are determined to make a lawyer of yourself, the thing is more than half done already.”‎ ‎25. What does the underlined word “it” (in Paragraph 2) refer to?‎ A. Earning a fortune. B. Making a living.‎ C. Asking for advice. D. Becoming a lawyer.‎ ‎26. What is the key point of the fourth paragraph?‎ A. Lincoln’s courage. B. Lincoln’s position.‎ C. Lincoln’s progress. D. Lincoln’s eloquence.‎ ‎27. What is the most vital spirit reflected in Lincoln’s story above?‎ A. Believing in oneself. B. Keeping on practicing hard.‎ C. Overcoming difficulties. D. Sticking to one’s determination.‎ C ‎ Scientists made a great break through this year in England when the first "test tube" baby was born．The birth was the result of many years of research by doctors．The doctors did the research in groups to help the women who cannot conceive a baby in the normal way．‎ What happened when the baby was born "from a test tube"? Well, the baby did not literally grow in a test tube．The first stage of the process was that the egg from the woman and the sperm from the man were put together in the test tube．After all, the embryo（胚胎）was put into the womb （子宫）of a woman．This process was difficult．But it was successful, so the baby was eventually born, like any other, from a woman, only the woman wasn't the baby's real mother, but a sort of "carrier" of a baby produced by another couple．‎ Obviously, this method is to help to couples who can't have children because of physical problems in the woman．But very difficult moral problems arise in the kind of situation．Take it for instance, a case that happened this year．A couple who wanted a baby advertised for a woman to have a child by the father of the couple．They offered the woman a lot of money．The woman was made pregnant by artificial insemination（人工受精）; in this case, the woman "employed" to bear the child was its real mother．When the baby was born, the woman refused to give it back to the couple．But, in the eyes of the law, the woman had a right to keep the children because she was its biological mother．‎ You could argue that we should change the law to deal with this kind of situation．In earlier times, there were always healthy babies needing adoption, because family planning methods were not so effective as they are now．These days, however, most of the children who can be adopted are over six years old, often handicapped（残疾） in some way．So a couple who want a young healthy baby cannot always adopt one, this is ‎ why the "test tube" baby is in demand．But is it normally right to use this method? Should we temper with nature in this way? Even if we change the law, would this be the right step to take ?‎ ‎28．The birth of the first "test-tube" baby is a great advance _____．‎ ‎ A．on medical science B．in birth control ‎ C．on the research for babies D．in the lives of married women ‎29．When we say a baby was born "from a test-tube", we mean_____ ．‎ ‎ A．the baby didn't develop in the womb of a woman ‎ B．the baby has no biological parents ‎ ‎ C．the embryo was formed in the test tube ‎ D．the baby grew in the test-tube before it was born ‎ ‎30．According to the law, who has right to keep the baby produced by the artificial method?‎ ‎ A．The couple who want a baby．‎ ‎ B．The biological mother of the child．‎ ‎ C．The person who pays the money to the real mother．‎ ‎ D．The father who advertises for a biological mother．‎ ‎31．According to the passage, people need "test-tube baby" because_____ ．‎ ‎ A．family planning methods are not effective．‎ ‎ B．they can't always adopt a young healthy baby ‎ C．they are unwilling to adopt a child．‎ ‎ D．there are so many babies needing adoption．‎ D German artist HA Schult is an unusual artist who uses trash (废旧物) to make sculptures. “We are living in the time of garbage,” says Schult. “I created a thousand sculptures of garbage. They are a mirror of ourselves.” Here, Schult was talking about his 1,000 trash sculptures in the form of humans. He first exhibited them in 1996 in the western German state of North Rhine-Westphalia.‎ ‎“They are social sculptures,” he explains. “They are not only sculptures for the eyes. They are sculptures to spread the idea that we live in a time of garbage.” So far,‎ ‎ Schult’s social sculptures have been on show in Paris, in Moscow’s Red Square, on the Great Wall of China, and in the desert next to the Giza Pyramids near Cairo.‎ HA Schult’s work is unforgettable. Although his work has had a big influence on the art world, Schult remains modest about his creations:”Artists have to learn every time. We are not important. All that counts is the time in which we are living.”‎ Trash art has been around for years. But it seems that only the popular artists are regarded as true artists when working with trash. Why can’t common people be considered artists when they use the same things and change them into some form of personal art? Maybe it’s because we all have our own preset ideas of what art is and isn’t, or who artists are or should be.‎ You can be an artist like Schult if you try. Look at used metal cans. What might be done with them? Imagine them in any number of new uses, or imagine them simply as an art form. What about boxes or clothing? Boxes can usually serve as new storage containers and houses for pets. And clothing? Imagine taking old clothes and turning them into hats or hanging organizers.‎ ‎32. What do we know about Schult’s sculptures?‎ A. They served as garbage containers.‎ B. They reflected environmental issues.‎ C. They were first shown in Paris, France.‎ D. They were to raise economic awareness.‎ ‎33. HA Schult’s artistic works also get the message across that an artist must .‎ A. be socially responsible B. be as modest as possible C. make garbage recyclable D. take diverse artistic forms ‎34. According to the last 2 Paragraphs, the author probably agrees that .‎ A. it takes talent to be a trash artist B. preset ideas are important to artists C. trash art can’t be seen as a real art form D. average people can also make trash artists ‎35. Which of the following is the best title for the text?‎ A. Could You Be a Trash Artist? B. What Are Social Sculptures?‎ C. Do You Know About Trash Art? D. How Can We Deal with Used Cans?‎ 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入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ ‎4 Key Strategies for Running to Lose Weight ‎ As one of the most active exercises out there, running is an extremely efficient way to bum calories and lose weight. A 150-pound person will bum approximately 100 calories per mile when running. 36 ‎ ‎1. Healthy Eating is the First Step If you want to lose weight by running, keep in mind that you’ll only lose pounds if you burn more calories than you consume. To lose a pound, you have to bum, through exercise or life functions, about 3500 calories. 37 Runners do have special nutrition needs, but the basic principles for healthy eating still apply. Try choosing smaller portions of high-fat and high-calorie foods and eating more whole grains, fruits, and vegetables.‎ ‎2. Follow a training schedule Sticking to a training schedule is a simple way to stay motivated to run. 38 So it’s much harder to postpone or skip workouts. Following a schedule can also help you avoid a running injury by not increasing your mileage too quickly.‎ ‎3. Run regularly If you don’t want to follow a schedule, you still need to have some consistency with your running because you won’t lose weight by running once a week. It’s best to get some activity every day. 39 If you find that your motivation to run is suffering, follow some necessary tips to get inspired.‎ ‎4. 40 ‎ Incorporating speed work or interval training (running at a very fast speed for short intervals of time) into your running routine can also help your weight loss efforts. Speed work bums a great amount of calories in a short period of time. You’ll also increase your muscle mass, causing you to bum more calories throughout the day.‎ A. Keep it challenging B. Eat for Performance C. You’ll know exactly what you need to do every day and each run builds on the next.‎ D. So you’ll need to combine running with a healthy diet.‎ E. If you’re hoping to use running to lose weight, here，s some advice on how to be successful.‎ F. Here are ways to improve your running motivation.‎ G. But if that’s not possible, try to shoot for at least 3-4 times per week.‎ 第三部分 英语知识运用（共两节，满分45分）‎ 第一节 完型填空（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和D)中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。‎ People often fall ill because of me. 41 , they can hardly blame me; it is largely their own 42 .
