| 第3、4、5、6、7题：The human body has developed its millions of nerves to be highly aware of what goes on both inside and outside of it. This helps us adjust to the outside world. Without our nerves and our brain, which is a system of nerves, we couldn’t know whats happening. But we pay for our sensitivity. We can feel pain when the slightest thing is wrong with any part of our body. The history of torture ( 折磨 ) is based on the human body being open to pain. But there is a way to handle pain. Look at the Indian fakir ( 苦行僧 ) who sits on a bed of nails. Fakirs can put a needle fight through an arm, and feel no pain. This ability that some humans have developed to handle pain should give us ideas about how the mind can deal with pain. The big thing in withstanding pain is our attitude toward it. If the dentist says, "This will hurt a little," it helps us to accept the pain. By staying relaxed, and by treating the pain as an interesting sensation ( 感觉 ), we can handle the pain without falling apart. After all, although pain is an unpleasant sensation, it is still a sensation, and sensations are the stuff of life. 41. The human body has developed a system of nerves that enables us to A、 stay relaxed B、 avoid pain C、 stand torture D、 feel pain 42. What does the writer mean by saying "we pay for our sensitivity" in the first paragraph? A、 We have to take care of our sense of pain. B、 We suffer from our sense of feeling. C、 We should try hard to resist pain. D、 We are hurt when we feel pain. 43. When the author mentions the Indian fakir, he shows that A、 fakirs possess magic power B、 Indians are not afraid of pain C、 people can learn to cope with pain D、 some people are born without a sense of pain 44. What is essential for people to stand pain according to the writer? A、 Their relaxation. B、 Their interest. C、 Their nerves. D、 Their attitude. 45. The author believes that A、 feeling pain is part of our life B、 pain should be avoided at all costs C、 feeling pain can be an interesting thing D、 magic power is essential for reducing pain |

| 第11、12、13、14、15题： Too often young people get themselves employed quite by accident, not knowing what lies in the way of opportunity for promotion, happiness and security. As a result, they are employed doing jobs that afford them little or no satisfaction. Our school leavers face so much competition that they seldom care what they do as long as they can earn a living . Some stay long at a job and learn to like it ;others quite from one to another looking for something to suit them, the young graduates who leave the university look for jobs that offer a salary up to their expectation. Very few go out into the world knowing exactly what they want and realizing their own abilities. The reason behind all this confusion is that there never has been a proper vocational guidance in our educational institution. Nearly all grope(摸索) in the dark and their chief concern when they look for a job is to ask what salary is like. They never bother to think whether they are suited for the job or, even more important, whether the job suits them, Having a job is more than merely providing yourself and your dependants with daily bread and some money for leisure and entertainment, It sets a pattern of life and, in many ways, determines social status in life, selection of friends, leisure and interest. In choosing a career you should first consider the type of work which will suit your interest .Noting is more pathetic than taking on a job in which you have no interest, for it will not only discourage your desire to succeed in life but also ruin your talents and ultimately make you an emotional wreck (受到严重伤害的人)and a bitter person. 56. The reason why some people are unlikely to succeed in life is that they _____ . A. have ruined their talents B. have taken on an unsuitable job C. think of nothing but their salary D. are not aware of their own potential 57. The difficulty in choosing a suitable job lies mainly in that_____ . A. much competition has to be faced B. many employees have no working experience C. the young people only care about how much they can earn D. schools fail to offer students appropriate vocational guidance 58. Which of the following statements is most important according to the passage? A. Your job must suit your interest. B. Your job must set a pattern of life. C. Your job must offer you a high salary. D. Your job must not ruin your talents. 59.The best title for this passage would be ____. A. What Can A Good Job Offer B. Earning A Living C. Correct Attitude On Job-hunting D. How To Choose A Job 60. The word “pathetic”in paragraph 2 most probably means ____ . A. splendid B. miserable C. disgusted D. touching |

With increasing awareness of the environment, people have realized that the way coal is used is critical and new approaches have to be sought.
