A wonderful way for becoming more peaceful and loving is to practice   33    others the joy of being right ---give them the glory.   34  correcting. When someone says, “ I really feel it’s important to …”, rather than breaking   35   and saying, “No, it’s more important to… “, simply let it go and allow their statement to  36   . The people in your life will become less defensive and more   37   . They will appreciate you more than you could ever have   38   .

第一节 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

A

After giving a talk at a high school, I was asked to pay a visit to a spe¬cial student. An illness had kept the boy home, but he had expressed an interest in meeting me. I was told it would mean a great deal to him, so I agreed.

During the nine-mile drive to his home, I found out something about Matthew. He had muscular dystrophy (肌肉萎缩症). When he was born, the doctor told his parents that he would not live to five, and then they were told he would not make it to ten. Now he was thirteen. He wanted to meet me because I was a gold-medal power lifter, and I knew about overcoming obstacles and going for my dreams.

I spent over an hour talking to Matthew. Never once did he complain or ask, “Why me?” He spoke about winning and succeeding and going for his dreams. Obviously, he knew what he was talking about. He didn’t mention that his classmates had made fun of him because he was different. He just talked about his hopes for the future, and how one day he wanted to lift weights with me. When we had finished talking, I went to my briefcase and pulled out the first gold medal I had won and put it around his neck. I told him he was more of a winner and knew more about success and overcoming obstacles than I ever would. He looked at it for a moment, then took it off and handed it back to me. He said, “You are a champion. You earned that medal. Someday when I get to the Olympics and win my own medal, I will show it to you.”

Last summer I received a letter from Matthew’s parents telling me that Matthew had passed away. They wanted me to have a letter he had written to me a few days before:

Dick,

My mum said I should send you a thank-you letter for the picture you sent me. I also want to let you know that the doctors tell me that I don’t have long to live any more, but I still smile as much as I can.

I told you someday that I would go to the Olympics and win a gold medal, but I know now I will never get to do that. However, I know I’m a champion, and God knows that too. When I get to Heaven, God will give me my medal and when you get there, I will show it to you. Thank you for loving me.

Your friend,

Matthew

Today, there’s hardly an aspect of our life that isn’t being upended by the tons of information available on the hundreds of millions of sites crowding the Internet, not to mention its ability to keep us in constant touch with each other via electronic mail. “If the automobile and aerospace technology had exploded at the same pace as computer and information technology,” says Microsoft, “a new car would cost about $ 2 and go 600 miles on a small quantity of gas. And you could buy a Boeing 747 for the cost of a pizza.”

Probably the biggest payoff, however, is the billions of dollars the Internet is saving companies in producing goods and serving for the needs of their customers. Nothing like it has been seen since the beginning of the Industrial Revolution, when power-driven machines began producing more in a day than men could turn out in nearly a year. “We view the growth of the Internet and e-commerce as a global trend,” says Merrill Lynch, “along the lines of printing press, the telephone, the computer, and electricity.”

You would be hard pressed to name something that isn’t available on the Internet. Consider: books, health care, movie tickets, construction materials, baby clothes, stocks, cattle feed, music, electronics, antiques, tools, real estate, toys, autographs of famous people, wine and airline tickets. And even after you’ve moved on to your final resting place, there’s no reason those you love can’t keep in touch. A company called FinalThoughts.com offers a place for you to store “afterlife e-mails” you can send to Heaven with the help of a “guardian angel”.

Kids today are so computer literate that it in fact ensures the United States will remain the unchallenged leader in cyberspace for the foreseeable(能预测的) future. Nearly all children in families with incomes of more than $75,000 a year have home computers, according to a study by the David and Lucile Packard Foundation. Youngsters from ages 2 to 17 at all income levels have computers, with 52% of those connected to the Internet. Most kids use computers to play games (some for 30 hours or more a week), and many teenage girls think nothing of rushing home from school to have e-mail chats with friends they have just left.

What’s clear is that, whether we like it or not, the Internet is an ever growing part of our lives and there is no turning back. “The Internet is just 20% invented,” says cyber pioneer Jake Winebaum. “The last 80% is happening now.”

50. What can we learn from the Microsoft’s remark?

A. Today’s cars and airplanes are extremely overpriced.

B. Information technology is developing at an amazing speed.

C. Information technology has reached the point where improvement is difficult.

D. There’s more competition in information technology industry than in car industry.

51. According to the author, the biggest benefit of the Internet is that___.

A. it saves companies huge amounts of money        B. it speeds up profit making

C. it brings people incredible convenience            D. it provides easy access to information

52. The author gives the example of FinalThoughts.com to make the point that____.

A. there are some genius ideas on the Internet       B. almost anything is available on the Internet

C. people can find good bargains on the Internet      D. some websites provide novel services to increase hits

53. What can we learn from the fourth paragraph?

A. There is a link between income and computer ownership.

B. Many American children don’t put computers to good use.

C. Studies show that boys are more computer literate than girls.

D. The U.S. will stay ahead in the information technology in years.

54. Which sentence has the phrase that possesses the same meaning as the one underlined in the fifth paragraph?

A. Some can tell you that he has changed their lives, while others think nothing of him.

B. Think nothing of it. It was my pleasure.

C. He thinks nothing of staying up all night in the Café bar.

D. He thinks nothing of the pain in his back for the moment.

65. What is the message the author intends to convey?

A. The Internet is going to get firm hold of our lives some day.

B. The Internet is going to influence our lives even more greatly.

C. We should have a positive attitude towards the changes the Internet brings.

D. Children should be well prepared for the challenges in the information age.

Going to school means learning new skills and facts in different subjects. Teachers teach and students learn, and many scientists are interested in finding ways to improve both teaching and learning processes.

Sian Beilock and Susan Leving, two psychologists at the University of Chicago, are trying to learn about learning. In a new study about the way kids learn math in elementary school, Beilock and Levine found a surprising relationship between what female teachers think and what female students learn: If a female teacher is uncomfortable with her own math skills, then her female students are more likely to believe that boys are better than girls at math. “If these girls keep getting math-anxious female teachers in later grades, it may create a snowball effect on their math achievement,” Levine told Science News. The study suggests that if these girls grow up believing that boys are better at math than girls are, then these girls may not do as well as they would have if they were more confident.

Just as students find certain subjects to be difficult, teachers can find certain subjects to be difficult to learn—and teach. The subject of math can be particularly difficult for everyone.

The new study involved 65 girls, 52 boys and 17 first-and second-grade teachers in elementary schools in the Midwest. The students took math achievement tests at the beginning and end of the school year, and the researchers compared the scores.

The researchers also gave the students tests to tell whether the students believed a math superstar had to be a boy. Then the researchers turned to the teachers: To find out which teachers were anxious about math, the researchers asked the teachers how they felt at times when they came across math, such as when reading a sales receipt. A teacher who got nervous looking at the numbers on a sales receipt, for example, was probably anxious about math.

Boys, on average, were unaffected by a teacher’s anxiety. On average, girls with math-anxious teachers scored lower on the end-of-the-year math tests than other girls in the study did. Plus, on the test showing whether someone thought a math superstar had to be a boy, 20 girls showed feeling that boys would be better at math—and all of these girls had been taught by female teachers with math anxiety.

According to surveys done before this one, college students who want to become elementary school teachers have the highest levels of anxiety about math. Plus, nine of every 10 elementary teachers are women, Levine said.

56. Sian Beilock and Susan Levine carried out the new research in order to ___________.

A. know the effects of teaching on learning     B. study students’ ways of learning math

C. prove women teachers are unfit to teach math   D. find better teaching methods for teachers

57. The underlined part in paragraph 2 most probably means that girls may ___________.

A. end up learning math anxiety from their teachers     B. study the ways their female teachers behave

C. have an influence on their math-anxious female teachers

D. gain unexpected achievement in such subjects as math

58. In the study, what were the teachers required to do?

A. Prepare two math achievement tests for the students    B. Tell their feelings about math problems

C. Answer whether a math superstar had to be a boy       D. Compare the students’ scores after the math tests

59.What is the finding of the new study?

A. No male students were affected by their teachers’ anxiety

B. Almost all the girls got lower scores in the tests than the boys

C. About 30% of the girls thought boys are better at math than girls

D. Girls with math-anxious teachers all failed in the math tests

60. Which of the following is TRUE according to the text?

A. 117 students and teachers took part in the new study

B. The researchers felt surprised at the findings of their study

C. Beilock and Levine are interested in teaching math

D. Men teachers are better at teaching math than women teachers

第二节：Peter, Catherine, Helen, Elizabeth和Levin 正在澳门科技大学学习，在休息日他们想去参观澳门的众多的博物馆(A-F)，请根据他们各自的兴趣帮助他们选择一个适合个人兴趣的场馆，并在答题纸上相应的选项标号涂黑。选项中有一项是多余的。

61. Peter: I’d like to go to some larger museums, where I can get an over-all view of Macau’s history and culture.

62. Catherine: My family runs a small wine mill in China, so I’d like to learn about wine production.

63. Helen: I’m crazy about car races. I’d like to visit some museum related to car races.

64. Elizabeth: The idea of Macau’s returning to China has always excited me. I’d like to see the location where the exciting moment took place.

65. Levin: I’d like to take the chance to see a collection of traditional and modern art works.

A. Macau Museum

The Macau Museum is a historical and cultural museum with a vast number of objects of great historical value, which demonstrates the way of life and cultures of the various communities which have been inhabited the city for ages. The Macau Museum was opened on 18th April 1998, consisting of two underground levels and a third one above the fortress' top platform where the old Meteorological Services is housed. The architectural character and special configuration of the architecture has been retained and preserved.

B. Maritime Museum

If the history of Macau is really connected to the sea, there is no better place for the Maritime Museum, than the Square of the Barra Pagoda, dedicated to the Taoist goddess "A-MA", the protector of fishermen, and also believed to be the place where the Portuguese first landed. The precise spot is where the Maritime Museum is located, the building is in the shape of a sailing ship anchored in the waters of the Inner Harbour.

C. Wine Museum

This 1400 square-metre space is divided into a number of areas (Historical information/Wine Cellar/Museum and Exhibitions), using maps, texts, photos, tiles and videos, among other things to relate the history of wine. The aim of each section is not only to provide information regarding wine and grapevines, but also to recreate the atmosphere of the production of wine, showing the visitor the modern and traditional tools connected to wine production.

D. Grand Prix Museum

Opened 1993 to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the Macau Grand Prix, which features a number of automobile and motorbike races and takes place every year in November. It started in 1954 due to the enthusiasm of a group of Macau residents and the support of the authorities. Today it is an international sports event that attracts thousands of tourists and racing enthusiasts to Macau, to watch the classic "Guia Race" and the "Formula 3 Grand Prix". As it takes place on a street circuit, which inevitably leads to a comparison with Monte Carlo, the Macau Grand Prix has been developing into a race that, due to the exactness and the need for precision which it imposes on the drivers, has had the participation of great names of the motor racing participating and which has also served as a launching platform for many other names, the visitor will certainly recognize while visiting the Grand Prix Museum.

E. Macau Museum of Art

Under the management of the Civic and Municipal Affairs Bureau, the Macau Museum of Art is the only art museum in Macau, and provides the largest space dedicated to visual arts. It is situated in the Cultural Centre of Macau in the Outer Harbour area, and was inaugurated on 19 March 1999, with a total area of more than 10,000 square meters and expositive capacity of almost 4,000 square meters. The artistic works and cultural artifacts include Chinese Calligraphy and Paintings, Seals, Ceramics, Copperwares, Western paintings, Contemporary Arts, Photography artworks, and other significant collections.

F. Handover Gifts Museum of Macau

The Handover Gifts Museum of Macau is located next to the Macau Cultural Centre in Avenida Xian Xing Hai (NAPE). The location of the Museum is also the area that was used for the Handover Ceremony on 20th December 1999 in which Macau was returned to the Mainland. When the hall was dismantled after the ceremony the area became part of the Macau Cultural Centre. The Handover Gifts Museum of Macau was opened December 2004. The main aim of the Museum is to commemorate the handover for its significance in Macau's modern history. The inauguration of the Museum on the 5th anniversary of the handover is also indeed significant and momentous.
