D

Are you an optimist? Do you look at your glass and see it as half full? Do you believe that every cloud has a silver lining and that things generally turn out for the best? Do you believe that if something is meant to be, it will be? If you reply “yes” to all of these questions, then you are an optimist. You probably are enthusiastic, cheerful and outgoing. You may be successful at work and in love.

But you may be misguided because things don't turn out for the best. You may believe that when one door closes another one opens(for example, you may fail to obtain a new job; another chance will come around soon). Wrong. When one door closes, another door slams(砰然关上)in your face. That's bitter reality.

Now a book has been published which confirms what pessimists(悲观者)have suspected all along. it's called The Positive Power of Defensive Pessimism. Its author argues that defensive pessimism can lead to positive results. Defensive pessimism is a strategy used to manage fear, anxiety and worry. Defensive pessimists prepare for the things by setting low outcomes for themselves. They carefully consider everything that may go wrong and plan for ways to handle these problems. And this gives them a sense of control. Lawrence Sanno, a psychology professor, says, “What's interesting about defensive pessimists is that they tend to be very successful people, so their low opinion of the situation's outcomes is not realistic. They use it to motivate themselves to perform better.”

So far,so good. This is not rocket science. Defensive pessimists prepare carefully and consider what might go wrong, whether at work, on date or even in a sports game. It makes sense to have a back-up plan. There are many sayings in English urging caution. For example, “Don't put all your eggs in one basket.”

And “Don't count your chickens until they hatch.” To have a confident and optimistic approach to life's problems is good. But listen to what Woody Alien, the American comedian says,” Confidence is what you have before you understand the problem.”

There are pros and cons to being an optimist and a pessimist. Don't feel bad if you see the glass half empty. You are a realist But lighten up and hook up with someone who sees the same glass half full.

67. What's the passage mainly about?

AA book that has recently been published.

BHow to become successful in life

CThe dangers of being too optimistic.

DThe benefits of defensive pessimism.

68. The underlined sentence “This is not rocket science”(Para.4)means ______.

Ait's not a dangerous thing to do

Bit is quite simple to understand

Cthe cost is not so high

Dthere is no real proof

69. Which of the following English expressions would a defensive pessimist believe?

ADon't put all your eggs in one basket.

BThe glass is half full not half empty.

CWhatever will be, will be.

DEvery cloud has a silver lining.

70. The writer would probably describe himself as ______.

Aan optimist

Ba defeatist

Ca realist

Da scientist

A

    First, you ought to know that I’m only fourteen. My mother points this out often. I can make my own decisions when I’m old enough to vote, she says. Second, I should tell you that she’s right — I’m not always responsible. I sometimes take the prize for grade-A dork(呆子). Take last weekend for instance. I was staying at Dad’s, and I decided it was time I learned to drive. It was Sunday morning, 7 A.M., and I hadn’t slept well. I’d been up thinking about an argument, which I’ll tell you about in a minute. Well, nobody was up yet in the neighborhood, so I thought it couldn’t hurt to back the car out of the garage and drive around the block. But Dad has a clutch(离合器)car. The “R” on the shift handle was up on the left side, right next to first gear(档位). I guess you can guess the rest.

    Dad’s always been understanding. He didn’t say, “Okay, little Miss Know-It-All, you can just spend the rest of the year paying this off,” which is what Mom would have said. Instead, Dad worried about what might have happened to me. And that made me feel more guilty than anything. I think he’d be a better number-one caregiver, but I can’t say things like that to Mom. To her, I have to say, “But Mom, Dad’s place is closer to school. I could ride my bike,” to which she replies, “Amy Lynn, you don’t own a bike. Remember? You left it in the yard, and it was stolen. And you haven’t got the patience to earn the money to replace it.”

56. The writer feels guilty because she ________.

Amade her dad worry

Bruined the car

Cbroke the law

Ddidn’t tell her mom about the car incident

57. The main conflict between the writer and her mother is about whether she ________.

Acan make her own decisions

Bshould live with her mom or her dad

Cshould be allowed to drive

Dshould pay for things she loses or breaks

58. The writer’s mother thinks the writer is ________.

Atoo attached to her dad

Btoo emotional

Ctoo shy

Dirresponsible

59. In the first sentence, the writer used “only” to suggest that she ________.

Adoesn’t want to grow old

Bthinks fourteen is old enough for some things

Cwishes she were older

Dthinks fourteen is an embarrassing age

C

    If asked if space exploration should continue, most Americans would give an immediate response either in favor of continuing or in favor of ending space exploration. A common response would be that space exploration is a waste of money. An average American, uneducated on the subject, might believe that the government is wasting billions of dollars on the research that has no merit. Someone strange to the subject might say that a space shuttle goes up once in a while and that is about all that happens. Research is ongoing and continues when there are no shuttles being launched. This also costs the government money. Does the extreme cost of space exploration make sense?

    One argument is that the government is wasting money on the research not being used on Earth. Actually, the money goes to workers and scientists that support National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) missions (任务), and goes to major companies that play important roles in major sectors of the US economy. Boeing is a partner of NASA for aircraft, the same company that makes commercial aircraft for the airline industry.

Another benefit to continuing space exploration is the many spinoff (衍生的) technologies it provides. The artificial heart resulted from experiments on the space shuttle. The handheld Jaws of Life used to save victims from car accidents originated from the system used to separate the space shuttle from its booster rockets. Insulation in homes that keeps them warm and energy efficient is based on the technology used to insulate the space shuttle.

    There are direct benefits to the economy provided by NASA missions as well as spinoff technologies. These advances are found in food, building materials, medical procedures and the vehicles we drive. While it can be proven that billions of dollars that could be used elsewhere is being spent on space exploration, the benefits it provides outweigh the terrible aspects. As a matter of fact, the money spent helps to improve the quality of our lives.

63. How is Paragraph 2 mainly developed?

ABy offering analyses.

BBy making comparisons.

CBy giving some examples.

DBy presenting research findings.

64. The function of Jaws of Life is to _____.

Asave people from traffic accidents

Bdo experiments on the space shuttle

Ckeep houses warm and energy efficient

Dseparate the space shuttle from its booster rockets

65. In the author’s opinion, space exploration _____.

Ahas changed our life completely

Bcosts too much of our time

Cbenefits us in many ways

Dhas nothing to do with us

66. What would be the best title for the text?

ABenefits of space exploration

BIs space exploration worth the cost?

CHow to make space exploration affordable

DMissions of the NASA space shuttle program

    In 1956, Phoenix, Arizona, was a city with boundless blue skies. One day as I walked around the house with my sister Kathy’s new parakeet on my finger, I wanted to show Perky      the sky looked like. Maybe he could make a little bird  out there. I took him into the backyard, and then, to my  , Perky flew off. The enormous blue sky swallowed up my sister’s blue  and suddenly he had gone, clipping its wings.

Someone else had a psychic dog.  Barry, the father of the other family, took the floor and   that the Greatest Pet of All Time was his blue parakeet, Sweetie Pie.

    “The best thing  Sweetie Pie,” he said, “was the      we got him. One day, when I was about eight, out of the clear, blue sky, a little blue parakeet just    down and landed on my finger.”
