36、ou are a loser. You have no power and could do nothing that helps change the situation. However, you can have great power over what happens to you if you stop focusing on whom to blame and start focusing on how to remedy the situation. This is the winners key to success.Winners are great at overcomi

37、ng problems. For example, if you were late because your car broke down, maybe you need to have your car examined more regularly. Or, you might start to carry along with you the useful phone numbers, so you could call for help when in need. For another example, if your colleague causes you problems o

38、n the job for lack of responsibility or ability, find ways of dealing with his irresponsibility or inability rather than simply blame the person. Ask to work with a different person, or dont rely on this person. You should accept that the person is not reliable and find creative ways to work success

39、fully regardless of how your colleague fails to do his job well.This is what being a winner is all about-creatively using your skills and talents so that you are successful no matter what happens. Winners dont have fewer problems in their lives; they have just as many difficult situations to face as

40、 anybody else. They are just better at seeing those problems as challenges and opportunities to develop their own talents. So, stop focusing on “whose fault it is.” Once you are confident about your power over bad situations, problems are just stepping stones for success.1、According to the passage，w

41、inners _.Adeal with problems rather than blame othersBmeet with fewer difficulties in their livesChave responsible and able colleaguesDblame themselves rather than others2、The underlined word “remedy” in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to _.AavoidBacceptCimproveDconsider3、When your colleague bring

42、s about a problem, you should _.Afind a better way to handle the problemBblame him for his lack of responsibilityCtell him to find the cause of the problemDask a more able colleague for help4、When problems occur, winners take them as _.Aexcuses for their failuresBbarriers to greater powerCchallenges

43、 to their colleaguesDchances for self-development5、Which of the following is the best title for the passage?AA Winners Problem.BA Winners Secret.CA Winners Opportunity.DA Winners Achievement.25（10分） You know those nutrition guidelines the government issues every few years? It turns out that followin

44、g them isnt just good for your health. Its good for the planet, too.“What we found is that impacts vary across nations, but in the highimpact nations, in general, you can see that, if you follow a nationally recommended diet, despite the fact that these diets dont mention explicitlyor most of them d

45、ont explicitly mentionenvironmental impacts, that you are going to have lower environmental impacts due to that. So thats sort of fairly clear across all the highincome nations.” said Paul Behrens, an environmental scientist at Leiden University in the Netherlands.The food we eat takes a big toll on

46、 the environment. A third of the icefree land on Earth is used for agriculture, and according to some estimates, producing food accounts for roughly a fifth of all humancaused greenhouse gas emissions. Fertilizer runoff also leads to other problems, like the algae blooms in Lake Eerie and the Dead Z

47、one in the Gulf of Mexico.However, following dietary guidelines would reduce those impacts, especially in wealthy countries like the US. “Most of the reductions come from meat and dairy，” which have an outsized impact on land use and pollution, and are a major source of greenhouse gases.(Thats partl

48、y due to cow farts. Seriously.) Following the suggestions would also mean eating fewer calories, since many people here eat more than they need.Overall, in highincome countries, Behrens team estimates that following the rules could result in as much as a 17 percent reduction in land use, a 21 percen

49、t reduction in nutrient pollution, and a 25 percent drop in agricultural greenhouse gas emissions. Cutting down on how much food we wastewhich is roughly a third in the UScould help even more. The results are in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.Of course, people are notoriously ba

50、d at following diets. But: “These nationally recommended guidelines do actually have a knockon effect on other areas of policy making. So if Im developing a new healthyeatingforschools program then thats going to be based off a lot of detail that I get from the nationally recommended guidelines. So

51、while it might not necessarily be the case that people follow directly they actually are quite influential on the preparation of other advice.”It seems that a smaller environmental footprint and a healthier lifestyle could go hand in hand.1、Which of the following statement will Paul Behrens approve

52、of?AFollowing a nationally recommended diet can have similar impacts in different countries.BFollowing a nationally recommended diet can do good to our health.CNot all the countries have recommended diets in an explicit manner.DSome highincome nations dont mention the diet explicitly for its impacts

53、 can be ignored.2、What do the underlined words “takes a big toll on” in paragraph 3 probably mean?Ashows signs ofBhas a bad effect onCtakes full advantage ofDmakes up for3、Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?AFood production can lead to about 20 percent of humancaused greenhouse

54、gas with only a third of the icefree land used.BIt is estimated that following dietary guidelines can lead to decrease in more land use than in nutrient pollution.CPaul Behrens new program concerning healthy eating for schools is likely to be based on national nutrition guidelines.DSome wealthy coun

55、tries tend to reduce meat and dairy though the other areas of policy making isnt effected much.第三部分 語(yǔ)言知識(shí)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）I have a friend who says that every day she tries to do a good deed and not get “found out”.

56、y about how this started.

58、ling inside ourselves that she 10 “a ray of sunshine inside our hearts”.I tell my students this story every year and 11 them to do a good deed and not get 12 . During our class discussion, a truly 13 student commented that my friend should have 14 and asked to talk to the receiver of the flowers, le

59、tting him know 15 the flowers were left for him. The student said that if someone really wanted to help 16 people, they should visit them once a week and get to know them. 17 with the idea, the students asked if we could try this as a class. We actually found an organization that helps 18 students w
