He may have the idea that he is not capable of it. A child
20、may think he is stupid because he does not understand how to make the most of his mental faculties, or he may accept another persons mistaken estimate of his ability. Older people may be handicapped by the mistaken belief that they are incapable of learning anything new because of their age.A person
21、 who believes that he is incapable will not make a real effort, because he feels that it would be useless. He wont go at a job with the confidence necessary for success. He is therefore likely to fail, and the failure will strengthen his belief in his incompetence.Alfred Adler, a famous doctor, had
22、and experience which illustrates this. When he was a small boy he got off to a poor start in arithmetic. His teacher got the idea that he had no ability in arithmetic and told his parents what she thought in order that they would not expect too much of him. In this way, they too developed the idea,
23、“Isnt it too bad that Alfred cant do arithmetic?“ He accepted their mistaken estimate of his ability, felt that it was useless to try, and was very poor at arithmetic, just as they expected.One day Adler succeeded in solving a problem which none of the other students had been able to solve. This gav
24、e him confidence. He rejected the idea that he couldnt do arithmetic and was determined to show them that he could. His new found confidence stimulated him to go at arithmetic problems with a new spirit. He now worked with interest, determination, and purpose, and he soon became extraordinarily good
25、 at arithmetic.This experience made him realize that many people have more ability than they think they have, and that lack of success is often the result of lack of knowledge of how to apply ones ability, lack of confidence, and lack of determination as it the result of lack ability.(分数:5.00)(1).Ac
26、cording to the passage, which statement is NOT true?(分数:1.00)A.A child may accept another persons underestimate of his ability.B.He may think that he is too young to make the most of his mental faculties.C.A person may have the idea that he is incapable of doing good work.D.Some old people dont beli

29、rience made him realize that _.(分数:1.00)A.people are not as capable as they thinkB.people can be more capable than they thinkC.lack of knowledge leads to failureD.lack of ability results in lack of determination十、Passage Two(总题数:1,分数:5.00)The bat is a marvel of evolutionary adaptation. Most of them
30、roost during the day, and are active at night or twilight for they can avoid objects in the dark. I have seen this phenomenon at work. In my youth I used to explore old mining shafts in the Randsburg district. Sometimes my intrusion disturbed clans of bats that were hanging upside down in the dark c
31、aves.They would fly about to evident panic, but the panic was mine, not theirs. Some flew crazily out into the daylight but some merely returned to their perches. None ever touched me, much to my relief.They may exist but I have never seen a stuffed nylon bat. To children, bats may not be as lovable
32、 as koala bears. Perhaps manufacturers do not regard them as marketable. It is not so much their hideous faces and winged bodies that have caused us to get rid of bats, but rather the ancient myths in which dead humans, such as Count Dracula, leave their graves at night in the form of bats to suck b
33、lood from human victims, especially fragile young woman. As we know from some movies these vampires must return to their graves before daylight. Endangered young women can frustrate vampire by sleeping with a string of garlic around their necks.There are actually three species of bloodsucking bats.
34、They are called vampire bats after the ancient legends, and their tactics are indeed frightful. Like Count Dracula, they feed at night. They make a small cut in their sleeping victim with sharp incisor teeth, usually not even awakening their prey. Then they suck the blood that sustains them.Should t
35、hat discourage children from wanting them as pets?As Mitchell notes from the New Yorker ad, bats are clean and intelligent. Most of them are insect-eaters, and they serve nature by destroying crop-damaging insects. They also pollinate (传授花粉) flowers and spreading seed.Bat Conservation International
36、claims that without bats a host of insects/pests would multiply unchecked and many of our planets most valuable plants would go unpollinated.It is clear that the bat is our friend, and that, despite its appearance, it is here to serve humanity.Id be the first to buy a stuffed nylon bat. Childrens he
37、arts are big, and bats need love, too.(分数:5.00)(1).What does the author mean by saying that “the panic was mine“?(分数:1.00)A.In great panic, the bats were driven out of the cave.B.I was greatly scared by the unexpected view of the hideous flying mammals.C.The bats were too tiny to cause panic.D.The b
38、ats moved reluctantly from where they staye(2).According to the passage, vampire bats _。(分数:1.00)A.live on the blood of living creaturesB.are believed to be fond of delicate womenC.never ever fly in the daylightD.are the evil spirit of Count Dracula(3).The toy companies are rarely interested in maki
39、ng a toy bat probably because _.(分数:1.00)A.bats destroy crop-damaging insectsB.bats are the marvel of evolution adaptationC.bats suck the blood of dying peopleD.bats inspire disgust based on some traditional beliefs(4).A string of garlic is described as being useful for endangered women _.(分数:1.00)A
40、.to locate the batsB.to keep off the batsC.to kill the batsD.to poison the bats(5).The author agrees that the bar in general is _.(分数:1.00)A.unhelpfulB.harmfulC.ugly-lookingD.marketable十一、Passage Three(总题数:1,分数:5.00)Our culture has caused most Americans to assume not only that our language is univer
41、sal but that the gestures we use are understood by everyone. We do not realize that waving good-bye is the way to summon a person from the Philippines to ones side, or that in Italy and some Latin-American countries, curling the finger to oneself is a sign of farewell.Those private citizens who sent
42、 packages to our troops occupying Germany after World War and marked the items GIFT to escape duty payments did not bother to find out that “gift“ means poison in German. Moreover, we like to think of ourselves as friendly, yet we prefer to be at least 3 feet or an arms length away from others. Lati
43、ns and Middle Easterners like to come closer and touch, which makes Americans uncomfortable.Our linguistic (语言上的) and cultural blindness and the casualness with which we take notice of the developed tastes, gestures, customs and languages of other countries, are losing us friends, business and respe
44、ct in the world.Even here in the United States, we make few concessions to the needs of foreign visitors. There are no information signs in four languages on our public buildings or monuments; we do not have multilingual (多语的) guided tours. Very few restaurant menus have translations, and multilingu
45、al waiters, bank clerks and policemen are rare. Our transportation systems have maps in English only and often we ourselves have difficulty understanding them.When we go abroad, we tend to cluster in hotels and restaurants where English is spoken. The attitudes and information we pick up are conditi
46、oned by those natives-usually the richer -who speak English. Our business deals, as well as the nations diplomacy, are conducted through interpreters.For many years, America and Americans could get by with cultural blindness and linguistic ignorance. After all, America was the most powerful country
47、of the free world, the distributor of needed funds and goods.But all that is past. American dollars no longer buy all good things, and we are slowly beginning to realize that our proper role in the world is changing. A 1979 Harris poll reported that 55 percent of Americans want this country to play
48、a more significant role in world affairs , we want to have a hand in the important decisions of the next century, even though it may not always be the upper hand.(分数:5.00)(1).It can be inferred that Americans being approached too closely by Middle Easterners would most probably _.(分数:1.00)A.stand st
49、illB.step backC.jump asideD.step forward(2).The author gives many examples to criticize Americans for their _.(分数:1.00)A.casual mannersB.cultural self-centerednessC.awareness of other culturesD.indifference towards foreign visitors(3).In countries other than their own most Americans _.(分数:1.00)A.need interpreters in hotels and restaurants.B.tend to get along well with the nativesC.are not well informed due to the l
