D. 020 8012 6803.I made a pledge to myself on the way down to the vacation beach cottage. For two weeks I would try to be a loving husband and father. Totally loving. No ifs, ands or buts.The idea had come to me as I listened to a talk on my car radio. The speaker was quoting a Biblical （圣经的）passage about husbands and their wives. Then he went on to say, "Love is an act of will. A person can choose to love." To myself, I had to admit that I had been a selfish husband. Well, for two weeks that would change.And it did. Right from the moment I kissed Evelyn at the door and said, "That new yellow sweater looks great on you.“Oh, Tom, you noticed,“ she said, surprised and pleased. Maybe a little puzzled.After the long drive, I wanted to sit and read. Evelyn suggested a walk on the beach. I started to refuse, but then I thought, “Evelyn's been alone here with the kids all week and now she wants to be alone with me." We walked on the beach while the children flew their kites.So it went. Two weeks of not calling the Wall Street firm where I am a director; a visit to the shell museum though I usually hate museums. Relaxed and happy, that's how the whole vacation passed. I made a new pledge to keep on remembering to choose love.There was one thing that went wrong with my experiment, however. Evelyn and I still laugh about it today. On the last night at our cottage, preparing for bed, Evelyn stared at me with the saddest expression."What's the matter? I asked her.“TomJ she said in a voice filled with distress,I don't.“What do you mean?”"Well.that checkup （体检）I had several weeks ago.our doctor.did he tell you something about me? Tom, you've been so good to me.am I dying ?”It took a moment for it all to sink in. Then I burst out laughing."No, honey,“ I said, wrapping her in my arms. "You're not dying; I'm just starting to live.”In the first paragraph, "No ifs, ands or buts“ probably means "”A.UnintentionallyB.InevitablyC.ImpressivelyD.Unconditionally5 . From the story we may infer that Tom drove to the beach cottage.A.with his familyB.with EvelynC.aloneD.with his children6. The author says, "There was one thing that went wrong with my experiment. What was the one thing that went wrong?A. He praised her sweater, which puzzled her.B. She insisted on visiting a museum, which he hated.C. He knew something about her illness but didn't tell her.D. He was so good to her that she thought she must be dying.7. By saying “I'm just starting to live," Tom means that.A. he is just beginning to understand the real meaning of lifehe is just beginning to enjoy life as a loving husband8. he lived an unhappy life before and is now starting to changehe is beginning to feel regret for what he did to his wife beforeBeing assertive （ 过分 自 信）is being able to communicate with other people clearly. If you felt that you had expressed what was important to you and allowed the oilier person to respond in their own way then, regardless of the final outcome, you behaved assertively. It is important to remember that being assertive refers to a way of coping with confrontations （ 对 抗）。 It does not mean getting your own way every time or winning some battle of wits against another person. In practice assertive behaviour is usually most likely to produce a result which is generally acceptable to all concerned, without anyone feeling that they have been unfairly treated.Assertiveness is often wrongly confused with aggression. An aggressive confrontation is when one or both parties attempt to put forward their feelings and beliefs at the expense of others. In an assertive confrontation, however, each party stands up for their personal rights, but each shows respect and understanding for the othefs viewpoint.The reason why assertiveness may not come naturally is that we often tend to believe that we must talk around a subject rather than be direct, or that we must offer excuses or justifications for our actions.In fact we all have a right to use assertive behaviour in a variety of situations. We are often schooled early in life to believe that sometimes our own need to express ourselves must take secondary place. For example, in dealing with those in privileged positions such as specialists, we often feel that speaking assertively is, in some way, nbreaking the rules',. Everybody has certain basic human rights, but often we feel guilty about exercising them.8 . According to the passage, an assertive person.A. makes other people feel unfairly treatedB , puts forward his ideas at the expense of othersC. does not show respect to other peoplespeaks out what he wants to say forcefully9. The last word of the passage "them" refers to.A. rulesB. actionsC. personal rightsD. privileged positions10. According to the passage, one should not only express himself clearly and directly, but also.A. make other people accept his ideasbe careful with his mannerB. allow others to speak in their own waywatch other people's response11. In this passage, the author intends to encourage people to.A. defend their personal rights aggressivelyB , be aggressive when they talk to othersC. assert themselves regardless of whether others suffer or notbe assertive on different occasionsCarbon dioxide makes up less than one percent of the Earth's atmosphere. But the gas is very important to life on Earth. Scientists are finding that processes involving carbon dioxide affect our climate in ways that are difficult to understand. Last month, a committee of theNational Academy of Sciences in Washington released a report. It confirmed that increased about six-tenths of a degree Celsius in the last one hundred years. The report also confirmed evidence that the level of carbon dioxide is increasing.The best information about climate in the past comes from tests of ice many kilometers deep in Antarctica and Greenland. The tests show changes in temperature during the past four-hundred-thousand years. These tests show that levels of carbon dioxide today are the highest ever measured. These findings have led scientists to believe that carbon dioxide is a major cause of climate warming.Carbon dioxide is released into the atmosphere when fuel is burned. Oil, coal and wood are all fuels that release the gas. When biological waste breaks down, it also releases carbon dioxide.However, plants use carbon dioxide in the process called photosynthesis. This process provides food for almost all life on Earth. Some groups that support burning oil and coal want to increase the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. They oppose international efforts to control carbon dioxide.Some scientists believe that forests and trees are able to capture large amounts of carbon dioxide from the air. Some groups even suggest carbon dioxide could cause plants to grow faster.A recent study in North Carolina found that more carbon dioxide in the air could cause trees to grow faster. But the researchers found the effect appears to last for only three years. Another study showed that much of the carbon dioxide that is taken in by trees is released within three years. The study noted that leaves release carbon dioxide when they fall from trees and break down in the soil. Plants also naturally release carbon dioxide through the process of respiration.The natural balance of gases in the atmosphere is a complex scientific issue. The debate over carbon dioxide is only one part of efforts to understand world climate change.12. The committee report of National Academy of Sciences in Washington reveal that.A. ice from Antarctica and Greenland is appropriate to show the changecarbon dioxide is released mainly from the fuelB. level of carbon dioxide increases with global temperaturescarbon dioxide is helpful for tree growth13. According to this passage, those people disagree with the control of carbon dioxide because.A. they think that carbon is beneficial for plant growththey want to use more fuels that can emit carbon dioxideB. they think carbon dioxide is not the main reason for global warmingthey think it will destroy the natural balance of gases in the world14. The word "issue“ in the last paragraph can be replaced as.A. organB. topicC. publicationD. result15. Those studies carried out in North Carolina suggest that.A. trees, function fbr absorbing carbon dioxide is limitedB , carbon dioxide is the main cause for global warmingC. leaves falling from trees can emit more oxygenmore carbon dioxide is beneficial for trees' growth fbr many decades二、七选五Around the world, girls do better than boys at school. These are the findings of a recent study that looked at the test results of 1.5 million 15-year-olds in 74 regions across the globe.The level of gender equality in those regions made no difference to the results. 16 In only three regions 一 Colombia, Costa Rica and the Indian state Himachal Pradesh - was the trend reversed with boys doing better.17 In the UK, girls outperform boys in exams that are taken at the age of 15 or 16, called GCSEs. According to education expert Ian Toone, this is down to the way girls and boys are brought up. "Boys are encouraged to be more active from an early age, whereas the restless movements of baby girls are pacified. Hence, girls develop the skill of sitting still for longer periods of time. 18He goes on to say that boys often cluster together in larger groups than girls. 19 He says that GCSEs require a lot of solo work and are not viewed as 'cool* in a laddish culture.This is backed up by research in the UK that says girls are out-performing boys at the age of five. 20 Should girls and boys be educated separately? Or do exams and school curricula need to be changed to better reflect boys* skills? These are the questions facing educators in many countries.A. So what is the solution?B. So it is useful for academic pursuits like studying for GCSEs.C. There are a variety of results arising from inequality.D. Other factors, such as the income level of the region also had little impact on the findings.E. As a result, they are more likely to be influenced by peer pressure and develop a gang mentality.F. So what are the causes of girls* stronger performance?G. It is reported by scientists that girls often perform better than boys in different levels like GCSEs.三、完形填空More and more electronic devices and services in our daily life mean we have too many passwords and numbers to remember.
