Once he was handed a sheet of paper, a block of wood and four tires and told to return home and give them all to his father. That was not an easy task for Gilbert to do. The piece of paper was a set of instructions about how to build a wooden racing car. Gilberts father laughed when he read the instructions. The block of wood remained untouched as the weeks passed. Finally, I stepped in to see if I could figure it all out. Having no skills, I decided it would be best if I simply read the instructions and let Gilbert do the work. And he did. Within days, his block of wood was turning into a pinewood racing car. Then the big night came. With his pinewood racing car in his hand and pride in his heart we headed to the big race. As the race was done in elimination fashion (淘汰赛形式 ), you could keep racing as long as you were the winner. Finally, it was between Gilbert and the fastest- looking car there. As the race was about to begin, Gilbert asked if they could stop for a minute, because he wanted to pray. Then the race stopped. Gilbert prayed in earnest for a very long minute. The Master came up to Gilbert and asked the obvious question, “So you prayed to win, Gilbert ？”My young son answered, “Oh, no Sir. It wouldnt be fair to ask God to help you beat someone else. I just asked him to make it so I dont cry when I lose.”Children seem to have wisdom far beyond us. Perhaps we spend too much of our prayer time asking God to control the race, make us the champion, or remove us from the struggle, when we should be seeking Gods strength to get through what lies in our way. ( )24.Gilberts father thought the task given by the Cub Scouts could_ A. be no trouble at all B. be too easy for Gilbert C. be beyond Gilberts ability D. require no skills ( )25.Who finally made the pinewood racing car?

( )27.The author writes this passage to tell us that _ A. adults should communicate more with children B. we should have faith in our ability to win C. victory is the power to overcome difficulties D. friendship is more important than winning CPerfectionists believe that not only is perfection achievable, but that it should be achieved whenever possible. They always try to make their work better, and often get pleasure from investing time and effort in their projects. They enjoy paying attention to detail and are often hard to please. After all, perfectionists almost always have nearly- impossible standards for themselves, much higher than what outside parties would generally hope for. Most perfectionists are also highly- organized. Theyve perfected their work process along with everything else in their life. They have processes and patterns for handling almost anything that comes their way, from email to new projects and clients to bookkeeping. It can definitely add up to a more effective workday with less wasted time and effort. Perfectionists can be thought of as overbearing( 霸道的 ) by those who dont share their attitude. It can also be upsetting to clients who arent interested in “ perfect” and simply want their project done yesterday. When you strive for perfection, everything takes just a bit longer to get right. Even if you have a more efficient design and development process than many other designers, it is likely that you spend more time on each step than a lot of others do. While most people who call themselves “perfectionists” do so in a light - hearted or positive manner, there are those out there to whom perfection becomes an obsession(痴迷 ). They consider anything less than perfect completely unacceptable. This can lead to obsessive behavior and can have damaging effects on their overall quality of life. Just feeling good about a job done to the best of your ability is entirely normal for a perfectionists and isnt something to worry about. But it becomes particularly dangerous when perfectionists feel they are never quite able to attain perfection, and so drive themselves crazy trying to always reach this unattainable goal. These perfectionists often place their entire self - worth on their accomplishments and ability to reach perfection, and since theyre never able to reach it, it creates a very negative self- image and low self - esteem or depression. The good news is that there are trained psychologists who can help those who are nervously obsessed with perfection to overcome their obsession. ( )28.Which of the following is NOT a characteristic of perfectionists? A. They enjoy investing time and efforts. B. They are not easy to satisfy. C. They have special ways of handling emails. D. They set high requirements for others. ( )29.Clients who are not satisfied with perfectionists think they need _A. better co - workers B. bigger achievements C. higher efficiency D. less organization skills ( )30.To perfectionists, their obsession with perfection is an act of _A. showing psychological sickness B. realizing their own value C. wasting time and energy D. improving their self -image ( )31.Which of the following will the author probably agree?

DThousands of hungry birds left the countryside of Britain in the bitter winter to find food and warmth in urban gardens. The move included species such as the redwing and the fieldfare, almost unknown outside rural areas. The hard situation of farmland birds has been revealed in the latest survey of bird populations from the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds released today. The redwing has an obvious stripe over the eye and a red flash on the flanks (侧翼 ), while the fieldfare has a grey head, a peach under- belly, and a distinctive dark band on the tail. Graham Madge, the societys spokesman, says, “For many urban birdwatchers the sight of these striking species is a real treat. Many people have never imagined there being such an amazing chance.”“Frozen ground prevented them from getting food in the countryside and they have been saved from starvation in towns ， ” he added. He says the unusual sight this year somewhat tempered the frustration felt at the suffering of small garden birds such as robins and wrens. These birds are sensitive to cold and must eat almost continuously to stay alive. Data from people who took part in the societys Big Garden Birdwatch recorded sightings in 280 ， 000 gardens during the last weekend of January, with the goldcrest down 75 percent, the long- tailed tit down 27 percent, and the coal tit down 20 percent. The study highlighted the need for food to be left out for birds during winter. The redwing and the fieldfare are relatively unknown outside the eastern part of the country. The research shows, however, that they moved to the other side of the country where the climate is generally mild in winter and that many for the first time have reached Cornwall and Isles of Scilly. The number of redwing sightings was up 185 percent, those of the fieldfare 73, and of the yellowhammer 68. Another surprise garden “guest” this year was the blackcap. This robin - sized, silver- grey bird was rare in Britain 50 years ago, but increasing numbers now arrive each year from Germany and Austria. ( )32.How did the urban birdwatchers probably feel when seeing the hungry birds? A. Excited. B. Worried. C. Annoyed. D. Motivated. ( )33.Which of the following can best replace the underlined word “tempered”？A. Prevented. B. Relieved. C. Explained. D. Increased. ( )34.According to the passage, Cornwall is perhaps _ A. a village in eastern Britain B. a city in western Britain C. a village in western Britain D. a city in eastern Britain ( )35.What does the passage mainly talk about? A. The tough living conditions of some British birds. B. The various species of Britains garden birds. C. The changes of some birds population in Britain. D. Unusual bird visitors in Britains urban gardens. 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。精选学习资料 - - - - - - - - - 名师归纳总结 - - - - - - -第 5 页，共 10 页Nobel Prize Winner Studied How People Spent Their MoneyThe winner of the 2015 Nobel Prize in Economic Sciences studies how people spend their money._36_The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences is presenting the Economics Prize to Professor Angus Deaton of Princeton University in New Jersey. The Nobel committee says his research has mainly dealt with three questions ： _37_How much of societys wealth is spent and how much is saved? And, how do we best measure and study well - being and poverty? Mr. Deaton used household surveys to collect detailed information about how families spend their money. People often asked him the question why he paid so much attention to household information. _38 _“ Wel l, its individually. its about people in the end. You have to understand what makes people tick, and whats good for them. And for me its always been about trying to understand behavior and to try to infer from that behavior, you know, how people are doing.”The Nobel committee said Mr. Deatons research has shown “how the clever use of household data can shed light on( 阐明 )issues such as the relationship between income and calorie intake, and the extent of gender discrimination with the family.” _39_rather
