A scientific study in rece

18、nt years has shown that it is a close relative of sadness and attention disorder; that procrastinators tend to be the result of low self-confidence and are likely to experience anxiety. The research has shown, what is more, that the illness has become quite common. Susan Robert, a behavioral psychol

19、ogist who has written a book called Living With Procrastination , says that about a quarter of the adult population of the United States and Canada is reported to have serious problems with procrastination. “when we say “serious“ we mean people for whom procrastination causes great discomfort and su

20、ffering. We“ve found that such people are more troubled by daily life than others, that possibility of anxiety is much higher among them than in the rest of the population.“ In a society driven by achievement, it is little wonder that not being able to work at full steam will bring people sadness. S

21、urely, in the land of opportunity, this anxiety has produced an industry of experts offering solutions. Many books and specialist solutions have appeared. In exchange for $19.95, Dr. Jerome Murray will send out an audio-cassette called “Protect your future from the thief of procrastination.“ Dr. Mur

22、ray promises that if you follow his step-by-step rules you will be empowered to “turn self-defeat into self-realization“. “Since the start of the 1990s, procrastination has been taken more and more seriously,“ said Dr. Roberts, who has been treating patients troubled by the condition for more than 2

23、0 years. “It is now recognized as a true mental health problem and is being seen more as a psychological problem and less as a moral issue.“（分数：10.00）(1).What is the main topic of this passage?（分数：2.00）A.Don“t hesitate to give up smoking.B.Don“t regard depression as not important.C.Delay can be a si

24、gn of illness.D.Don“t work too hard to stay healthy.(2).Which statement is NOT true according to the passage?（分数：2.00）A.Procrastination is a disease of the mind.B.Procrastination is likely to cause a great discomfort and suffering.C.Procrastination is not considered as a psychological problem but mo

25、ral issue.D.Dr. Jerome Murray provides some ways to get rid of procrastination.(3).How does the author look at procrastination?（分数：2.00）A.It is something like running.B.It is a disease of mind.C.It is not a permitted act.D.It is not full of stress.(4).These are the signs of procrastination except _.

27、lf-defeat into self-realization.四、Passage 2(总题数：1，分数：10.00)Parrots are becoming one of the most popular pets in America for good reasons. The parrot is an extraordinary bird that can be taught to talk, can be easily cared for, and can create a lively atmosphere anywhere. With the help of an energeti

28、c parrot owner, a parrot can develop an enormous vocabulary. In addition, a parrot can be trained to say “Pretty boy“ or “Polly wants a cracker,“ and it also can learn to whistle or sing. No matter what an owner decides to teach a bird, training a parrot takes much patience, but the reward is a stre

29、am of chatter. Another reason for the parrot“s popularity is that this pet does not require much care. For example, even a spoiled parrot does not need a house-sitter for the purpose of daily walks and daily feeding. In fact, a parrot owner may leave his or her pet with enough food for five days and

30、 have no fear that the parrot will overeat. Still another advantage of owning a parrot is its inexpensive food, including seeds, nuts, corn, and grainalong with an apple, banana, or carrot. Perhaps the most likely reason the parrot is becoming such a well-liked pet is that it is a combination of tam

31、eness and wildness. Because the parrot can live in almost any environment, it makes a fine, tame companion for many people. In addition, because it can be easily trained, it is a delightful performer. At the same time, its colorful feathers give it an air of the mystery of the parrot“s native home,

32、the jungle. Thus, the parrot, once a highly valued gift presented to kings and noble families, is now appreciated by a growing number of people.（分数：10.00）(1).A parrot can be trained to do all the following but _.（分数：2.00）A.talkB.help its ownerC.singD.create a lively atmosphere(2).Which of the follow

34、 of being kind or warm-heartedC.the quality of being uncontrolled or fierceD.the quality of being gentle or trained(4).The word “jungle“ probably means _.（分数：2.00）A.boundless desert with very little plant lifeB.large apartment building with pleasing surroundingsC.wild land overgrown with thick bushe

35、s and treesD.snow-covered mountain top in very cold areas(5).The writer _.（分数：2.00）A.likes the parrotB.dislikes the parrotC.doesn“t care about the parrotD.values the parrot highly五、Passage 3(总题数：1，分数：10.00)In my long life I have seen many changes in our habits and customs and conditions in general.

36、I think that you might be interested if I told you some of them. The world I entered at the age of eighteen when I became a medical student was a world that knew nothing of such advanced things as planes, films, radios or telephones. It was a very cheap world. Prices were stable. When I entered St.

37、Thomas“ hospital I rent a set of rooms in Vincent Square for which I paid 18 shillings a week. My landlady provided me with a very good breakfast before I went to the hospital and a dinner when I came back at half past six. I only had to pay for the breakfasts and dinners twelve shillings a week. Fo

38、r four-pence I lunched at St. Thomas“ on bread and butter and a glass of milk. I could be able to live very well, pay my fees, buy my necessary instruments, clothe myself, and have a lot of fun on fourteen pounds a month. And I could always pawn (当掉) my microscope for three pounds. I spent five year

39、s at St. Thomas“ hospital. I was a bad student, for my heart, as you might have guessed, was not in it. I wanted, I had always wanted to be a writer, and in the evenings, after my dinner, I wrote and read. Before long, I wrote a novel called “Liza of Lambeth“, which I sent to a publisher and was acc

40、epted. It came out during my last year at the hospital and it was successful. It was of course an accident, but I didn“t know that. I felt I could afford to give up medicine and make writing my profession; so, three days after I graduated from the school of medicine, I left for Spain to write anothe

41、r book. I did not realize, at that time, that I was taking a great risk.（分数：10.00）(1).The text is a talk given by the author when _.（分数：2.00）A.he was 18B.his first novel was publishedC.he graduated from the school of medicineD.he was at an advanced age(2).The author graduated from the school of medi

42、cine when he was _.（分数：2.00）A.18B.28C.23D.30(3).“And I could always pawn my microscope for three pounds“ means the author could always _.（分数：2.00）A.exchange his microscope for three poundsB.borrow his microscope and pays three poundsC.have his microscope repaired with three poundsD.lend his microsco

43、pe for three pounds(4).In the sentence “I could be able to live very well, pay my fees, buy my necessary instruments, clothe myself.“, the word “clothe“ means _.（分数：2.00）A.wear clothesB.make clothes forC.wash clothes forD.buy clothes for(5).The author wanted to be a writer because _.（分数：2.00）A.he li

44、ked to take risksB.he found it easier to make a living by writingC.he was interested in writingD.he could not study medicine well六、Passage 4(总题数：1，分数：10.00)How often one hears children wishing they were grown-up, and old people wishing they were young again. Each age has its pleasures and its pains,

45、 and the happiest person is the one who enjoys what each age gives him without wasting his time in useless regrets. Youth is a time when there are few tasks to make life difficult, if a child has good parents, he is fed, looked after and loved whatever he may do. It is impossible that he will ever a

46、gain in his life be given so much without having to do anything in return. In addition, life is always presenting new things to the childrenthings that have lost their interest for older people because they are too well-known. But a child has his pains: he is not so free to do what he wishes to do;

47、he is continually being told not to do things, or being punished for what he has done wrong. When the young man starts to earn his own living, he can no longer expect others to pay for his food, his clothes, and his room, but has to work if he wants to live comfortably. If he spends most of his time

48、 playing about in the way that he used to as a child, he will go hungry. And if he breaks the laws of society as he used to break the laws of his parents, he may go to prison.
