is it needed? if what we want to say doesnt pass this test, then its better left unsaid.words possess power: both positive and negative. those around us receive encouragement when we speak positively. we can offer hope, build self-esteem（自尊）and motivate others to do their best. negative words destroy all those things. will we use our words to hurt or to heal? the choice is ours.1. the main idea of the first paragraph is that _.a. words have a lasting effect on us b. not sticks and stones but words will hurt usc. inspiring words give us confidence d. negative words may let us down答案解析：答案為a。本題考查段落大意。段落大意一般通過段落的topic sentence來體現(xiàn)，第一段的最后一句話 “the positive and negative effects are just as lasting.” 即為該段的 topic sentence, 故a選項正確.。2. there is no sense for us to feel embarrassed when we talk to ourselves because _.a. it does no harm to have “self-talk” when we are aloneb. almost everybody has the habit of talking to themselvesc. we can benefit from talking to ourselvesd. talking to ourselves always gives us courage答案解析：答案為c。本題為推理題。由第三段 “this “self-talk” helps us motivate ourselves, remember things, solve problems, and calm ourselves down. be aware, though, that as much as 77% of self-talk tends to be negative. so in order to stay positive, we should only speak words of encouragement to ourselves.”可知，雖然77%的自言自語是消極的，但是自言自語可以激發(fā)我們，幫助我們記住事情、解決問題和使我們保持鎮(zhèn)定。為了保持積極，我們對自己應該只講鼓勵的話語。由此可推斷，自言自語讓我們收益。故c選項正確，a選項錯誤。b選項只是一種現(xiàn)象，不是原因，d選項顯得絕對，故均不選。3the underlined part in the third paragraph means that we should also occasionally _.a. give ourselves amusement b. praise ourselves c. remind ourselves d. make ourselves relaxed答案解析：答案為b。本題為句意推斷題。結(jié)合劃線部分的下文 “the next time you finish a project, do well in a test, or finally clean your room, join me in saying good job!” 可知，當我們完成了任務，考試考得好，或者打掃完房間后，要對自己說“干得好！”，故可推斷劃線部分應該意為表揚我們自己。4the author would probably hold the view that _.a. it is better to think twice before talking to others b. encouraging words are sure to lead to kind offersc. negative words may stimulate us to make more progressd. people tend to remember friendly words答案解析：答案為a。由倒數(shù)第二段 “before speaking, we should always ask ourselves: is it loving? is it needed? if what we want to say doesnt pass this test, then its better left unsaid.” 可知，作者認為在我們講話前要想一想所講的話受人喜歡嗎？受人需要嗎？如果不是這樣，就最好不要講。再結(jié)合最后一段，話語有著積極和消極的力量，因此我們講話一定要小心。故答案為a，最好三思而后言。時聞型閱讀理解- (二)scientists have not found any signs of life on mars yet, but they say a robotic vehicle called “curiosity” is helping them learn a lot about the planets history and climate.curiosity landed on mars in august 2012 after travelling through space for more than eight months. it was sent to mars by scientists from nasa in the united states.curiosity is about the size of a car and has six wheels. it also has a robotic arm, cameras, and instruments that allow it to examine things it finds on the surface. then it sends the information back to the earth.the curiositys main task is to find out if anything could live on mars, either now or in the past. on nov. 2, nasa scientists held a press conference (新聞發(fā)布會) to discuss what curiosity had found in its first two months on mars.curiosity has found soil that is similar to the sand formed by volcanoes (火山) on the earth. scientists say that studying the minerals in martian soil will help them understand what conditions were like on the planet in the past. curiosity also found smooth stones like the ones found on river beds and seashores on the earth, where their rough edges have been worn down by water. mars is very cold and dry now, but scientists say the smooth stones tell them that a river used to run through the place where they were found. curiosity has been testing the atmosphere around mars for a type of gas called methane (甲烷), but so far it has not found any. on the earth, most methane is produced by plants or animals. methane on mars might indicate that some types of tiny plants or animalslived there.curiosity is the fourth robotic vehicle to be sent to mars. it will continue to explore the planet for about two years.1. which of the following descriptions about curiosity is true?a. it landed on mars in january 2012. b. it is small in size and has four arms. c. it took over eight months to arrive in mars. d. it was sent to mars by scientists from russia.2. according to the information sent back by curiosity, scientists believe that _ .a. the
