根据下面资料，回答题
Human growth is a process of experimentation, trial, and error eventually leading to wisdom. Each time you choose to trust yourself and take action, you can never quite be certain how the situation will 16 .
Sometimes you are victorious, and sometimes you become disappointed. The 17
experiments, however, are no less valuable than the experiments that finally prove successful; in fact, you 18 learn more from your "failures" than you do from your 19 . If you have made what you think to be a mistake or failed to live up to your own 20 , you will most likely put up a barrier between your essence and the part of you that is the alleged wrong-doer.
However, viewing past actions as 21 implies guilt and blame, and it is not possible to learn anything meaningful while you are engaged in blaming. 22 , forgiveness is required when you are severely judging yourself. Forgiveness is the act of erasing an 23 debt. There are four kinds of forgiveness.
The first is beginner forgiveness for yourself.
The second of forgiveness is beginner forgiveness for another.
The third kind of forgiveness is 24 forgiveness of yourself. This is for serious misbehaviors, the ones you carry with deep 25 . When you do something that violates your own values and principles, you create a gap between your standards and your actual 26 . In such a case, you need to work very hard at 27 yourself for these deeds so that you can close this gap. This does not 28 that you should rush to forgive yourself or shouldn′t feel regret, 29 taking pleasure in these feelings for a prolonged period of time is not healthy.
The 30 and perhaps most difficult one is the advanced forgiveness of another.
At some time of our life, you may have been severely wronged or hurt by another person to such a degree that forgiveness seems 31 .
However, harboring anger and revenge fantasies only keeps you 32 in victimhood. Under such a circumstance, you should force yourself to see the bigger picture. By so doing, you will be able to 33 the focus away from the anger and resentment.
It is only through forgiveness that you can erase wrongdoing and 34 the memory. When you can 35 release the situation, you may come to see it as a necessary part of your growth.
A.turn up
B..turn out
C.break out
D.break up
答案：B解析：考查动词短语辨析。turn up“出现，开大”，turn out“结果是，出现”，break out“(战争、火灾等)爆发”，break up“破碎，解散”。句意为“每次你选择相信自己，开始采取行动时，你绝不会知道这个情况会如何”．即你无法预知会有什么样的结果。B项符合句意。 -

Look After Your Voice
Often speakers at a meeting experience dry mouths and ask for a glass of water. You can solve the problem
by activating the saliva in you mouth.First gently bite the edges of your tongue with your teeth.Or press
your entire tongue to the bottom of your mouth and hold it there until the saliva flow.Or you can imagine that
you are slicing a big juicy lemon and sucking the juice.
Before you begin your talk,be kind to your voice.Avoid milk or creamy drinks which coat your throat.
Keep your throat wet by drinking a little sweetened warm tea or diluted fruit juice.
If you sense that your are losing your voice,stop talking completely.Save your voice for your speech.
You may feel foolish using paper to write notes,but the best thing you can do is to rest your voice.If you
need to see a doctor,perhaps you can get some advice from a professional singer. In the meantime,do not
even talk in a low voice.
What about drinking alcohol to wet your throat?I advice you not to touch alcohol before speaking. The
problem with alcohol is that one drink gives you a little confidence.The second drink gives you even more
confidence.Finally you will feel all-powerful and you will feel you can do everything,but in fact your brain
and your mouth do not work together properly.Save the alcohol until after you finish speaking.
Perhaps you want to accept the advice,but you may wonder if you can ever change the habits of a life-
time.Of course you can.Goethe,who lived before indoor skating rinks or swimming pools,said,"We learn
to skate in the summer and swim in the winter."Take this message to heart and give yourself time to develop
your new habits.If you are willing to change,you will soon be able to say that you will never forget these
techniques because they became a part of your body.What did Goethe say about skating and swimming?
A:He said people could learn to skate when it was hot and swim when it was cold.
B:He said people could learn to skate and swim when it was hot.
C:He said people could learn to skate and swim when it was cold.
D:He said people could learn to skate when it was cold and swim when it was hot.答案：A解析：在文章第一段中，作者提到三种解决讲话时口干的方法，分别对应A、B、C选项。故 选D。
由文章第三段第三句“...but the best thing you can do is to rest your voice.”可知，答案 为A。
由文章第四段可知，作者忠告演说者在演说之前千万不要饮酒。故选B。
文章最后一段中歌德的原话是“We learn to skate in the summer and swim in the winter",A项与歌德的说法最接近。
作者在最后一段引用歌德的话想证明，一个人在一生中养成的习惯如果想改还是可以 改的。故选C。第5部分：补全短文 -

Things We Know about TV
We keep reading that TV is bad for you.If this is true,how come the current generation of TV-addicted kids is much smarter than we are?In my home,the only people who can work the remote control are the children.
Perhaps TV does educate you.For example,you learn a useful medical fact:A person who has been shot always has time to speak an incomplete sentence before he dies.“The killer was…” (dies).
But I guess the biggest things we learn from TV can be regarded as"Life Skills".Bad things only happen on dark and stormy nights.Emotional breakdowns cause people to wander in the heavy rain without umbrellas.And contrary to what scientists say,the crack（霹雳）of lightning and the accompanying flash happen at exactly the same time,wherever you are.
Making use of what we learn from TV can improve our security.Consider these truths.If you are ever attacked by 20 bad guys,don't worry about being outnumbered.The criminals will hang back and take turns to approach you in ones and twos just so you can conveniently defeat them all.
TV also teaches us important information about escaping from danger. Watch and learn.If anyone is running after you down a passage,you will find that boxes have been conveniently placed near all the walls you need to jump over. If you are tall and handsome,you can run from any number of armed criminals,and every shot will miss you.
Be warned, however. If your name card says "henchman"（帮凶）and you are part of a group of plain-looking people trying' to catch a handsome individual,a single shot will kill you.
TV even teaches us about TV.Whenever anyone turns on a TV,it shows a news flash about someone they know. They then turn the box off immediately after that news item.What's the main idea of this passage?
A:Life skills can be learned from TV.
B:TV plays an important role in society.
C:Watching TV makes people more creative.
D:What happens in TV is very different from reality.答案：D解析：细节题。第二段第二句：你学到了一个有用的医学事实：被枪击的人总是在他死前有时间说出一句不完整的话。这句话明显是体现了幽默，有着讽刺的意味。B选项 sympathy“同情”、C选项deep concern“非常关心”、D选项medical knowledge“医学知识”都是错误的。
细节题。第三段很多是电视中的情景，根据作者幽默讽刺的语气可知现实生活不一定是这样的。最后一句指出，闪电的霹雳声与相伴的闪其实不是同时发生的。
细节题。最后一段可知：任何时候一个人打开电视，它就会显示一则关于他们知道的人的新闻快讯。
推断题。通篇阅读后可知，作者以幽默、讽刺的手法描写了电视，可以得知，作者对电视持消极的态度。A选项“积极的”、B选项“轻松的”、D选项“漠不关心的”都是错误的。
主旨题。A、B、C都和作者态度相反，只有D选项是正确的，本文大意是电视上演的与现实生活是不同的。 -

单选题AIf you want to return or exchange your purchase, you should do that as soon as possible.
BUnder any circumstances, you can exchange what you’ve bought.
CSometimes things on sale are not allowed to be exchanged.
DWhile you are exchanging something, you should bring the receipt with you.
正确答案： B解析：
细节题。录音中提到“Sometimes things on sale are not allowed to be exchanged”，因此B项错误。故选B。
【录音原文】
W: Jack, I want to do some shopping this afternoon, but I know next to nothing about it in the States. Could you tell me something about it?
M: Of course, Linda. First of all, you must be aware that there is not only a wide range of prices of goods in the States, but also a big difference in the quality of goods for sale. So my advice is: Don’t hurry. Visit various stores, examine the goods carefully and compare prices. In a word, explore and examine before you buy.
W: But I’m afraid I can’t afford the-time,
M: That’s true. So I’d suggest if you want to buy food, go to a nearby supermarket. There you will find all kinds of food, and prices are very reasonable.
W: If I want to buy some odds and ends like household items?
M: Then go and shop in some discount stores. These stores have nearly as great a variety of goods as department stores, but offer lower prices.
W: When I read the newspaper, I often find ads for sales. Do you think the prices are really reduced?
M: Well, in some cases, yes. Sales are an excellent opportunity to buy quality goods at reduced prices, but sometimes it’s just a deception. So be careful.
W: Can I return or exchange my purchase if I find it defective?
M: Yes, you can. But you should do that as soon as possible, say, within a week. And be sure to bring the receipt with you. Oh, there is an exception: Sometimes things on sale are not allowed to be exchanged. So you should be especially careful with those products.
W: Thanks for all the useful information.
Questions 1 to 3 are based on the conversation you have just heard.
1. As the woman wants to do some shopping, what does the man suggest in the first place?
2. According to the man, where is the best place to buy household items?
3. Which of the following is NOT true? -

We keep reading that TV is bad for you.If this is true,how come the current generation of TV-addicted kids is much smarter than we are?In my home,the only people who can work the remote control are the children.
Perhaps TV does educate you.For example,you learn a useful medical fact:A person who has been shot always has time to speak an incomplete sentence before he dies.“The killer was…” (dies).
But I guess the biggest things we learn from TV can be regarded as"Life Skills".Bad things only happen on dark and stormy nights.Emotional breakdowns cause people to wander in the heavy rain without umbrellas.And contrary to what scientists say,the crack（霹雳）of lightning and the accompanying flash happen at exactly the same time,wherever you are.
Making use of what we learn from TV can improve our security.Consider these truths.If you are ever attacked by 20 bad guys,don't worry about being outnumbered.The criminals will hang back and take turns to approach you in ones and twos just so you can conveniently defeat them all.
TV also teaches us important information about escaping from danger. Watch and learn.If anyone is running after you down a passage,you will find that boxes have been conveniently placed near all the walls you need to jump over. If you are tall and handsome,you can run from any number of armed criminals,and every shot will miss you.
Be warned, however. If your name card says "henchman"（帮凶）and you are part of a group of plain-looking people trying' to catch a handsome individual,a single shot will kill you.

A:bad things cause people to break down in the rain
B:bad things never happen on dark and stormy nights
C:people with emotional problems like to walk in the rain without umbrellas

Things We Know about TV
We keep reading that TV is bad for you.If this is true,how come the current generation of TV-addicted kids is much smarter than we are?In my home,the only people who can work the remote control are the children.
Perhaps TV does educate you.For example,you learn a useful medical fact:A person who has been shot always has time to speak an incomplete sentence before he dies.“The killer was…” (dies).
But I guess the biggest things we learn from TV can be regarded as"Life Skills".Bad things only happen on dark and stormy nights.Emotional breakdowns cause people to wander in the heavy rain without umbrellas.And contrary to what scientists say,the crack（霹雳）of lightning and the accompanying flash happen at exactly the same time,wherever you are.
Making use of what we learn from TV can improve our security.Consider these truths.If you are ever attacked by 20 bad guys,don't worry about being outnumbered.The criminals will hang back and take turns to approach you in ones and twos just so you can conveniently defeat them all.
TV also teaches us important information about escaping from danger. Watch and learn.If anyone is running after you down a passage,you will find that boxes have been conveniently placed near all the walls you need to jump over. If you are tall and handsome,you can run from any number of armed criminals,and every shot will miss you.
Be warned, however. If your name card says "henchman"（帮凶）and you are part of a group of plain-looking people trying' to catch a handsome individual,a single shot will kill you.
TV even teaches us about TV.Whenever anyone turns on a TV,it shows a news flash about someone they know. They then turn the box off immediately after that news item.The writer of this passage takes a(n)__________attitude towards TV plays.
A:positive
B:casual
C:negative
D:indifferent答案：C解析：细节题。第二段第二句：你学到了一个有用的医学事实：被枪击的人总是在他死前有时间说出一句不完整的话。这句话明显是体现了幽默，有着讽刺的意味。B选项 sympathy“同情”、C选项deep concern“非常关心”、D选项medical knowledge“医学知识”都是错误的。
细节题。第三段很多是电视中的情景，根据作者幽默讽刺的语气可知现实生活不一定是这样的。最后一句指出，闪电的霹雳声与相伴的闪其实不是同时发生的。
细节题。最后一段可知：任何时候一个人打开电视，它就会显示一则关于他们知道的人的新闻快讯。
