For each of them there ar
16、e four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre.Passage Oneuestions 46 to 50 are based on the following passage.Last year, a child was born at a hospital in the UK with her heart o
17、utside her body. Few babies survive this rare condition, and those who do must endure numerous operations and are likely to have complex needs. When her mother was interviewed, three weeks after her daughters birth, she was asked if she was prepared fbr what might be a daunting (令人生畏的)task caring fo
18、r her. She answered without hesitation that, as far as she was concerned, this would be a “privilege”.Rarely has there been a better example of the power of attitude, one of our most powerful psychological tools. Our attitudes allow us to turn mistakes into opportunities, and loss into the chance fo
19、r new beginnings. An attitude is a settled way of thinking, feeling and/or behaving towards particular objects, people, events or ideologies. We use our attitudes to filter, interpret and react to the world around us. You werent born with attitudes; rather they are all learned, and this happens in a
20、 number of ways.The most powerful influences occur during early childhood and include both what happened to you directly, and what those around you did and said in your presence. As you acuire a distinctive identity, your attitudes are further refined by the behavior of those with whom you identify
21、- your family, those of your gender and culture, and the people you admire, even though you may not know them personally. Friendships andother important relationships become increasingly important, particularly during adolescence. About that same time and throughout adulthood, the information you re
22、ceive, especially when ideas are repeated in association with goals and achievements you find attractive, also refines your attitudes.Many people assume that our attitudes are internally consistent, that is, the way you think and feel about someone or something predicts your behavior towards them. H
23、owever, many studies have found that feelings and thoughts dont necessarily predict behavior. In general, your attitudes will be internally consistent only when the behavior is easy, and when those around you hold similar beliefs. Thats why, fbr example, many say they believe in the benefits of recy
24、cling or exercise, but dont behave in line with their views, because it takes awareness, effort and courage to go beyond merely stating that you believe something is a good idea.One of the most effective ways to change an attitude is to start behaving as if you already feel and think the way youd pr
25、efer to. Take some time to reflect on your attitudes, to think about what you believe and why. Is there anything you consider a burden rather than a privilege If so, start behaving - right now - as if the latter is the case.46. What do we learn from the passage about attitudeA) It shapes our beliefs
26、 and ideologies.B) It improves our psychological wellbeing.C) It determines how we respond to our immediate environment.D) It changes the way we think, feel and interact with one another.47. What can contribute to the refinement of ones attitude, according to the passageA) Their idols behaviors.B) T
27、heir educational level.C) Their contact with the opposite gender.D) Their interaction with different cultures.48. What do many studies find out about peoples feelings and thoughtsA) They may not suggest how a person is going to behave.B) They are in a way consistent with a persons mentality.C) They
28、may not find expression in interpersonal relations.D) They are in line with a persons behavior no matter what.49. How come many people dont do what they believe is goodA) They cant afford the time.C) They are hypocritical.B) They have no idea how to.D) They lack willpower.50. What is proposed as a s
29、trategy to change attitudeA) Changing things that rcuire ones immediate attention.B) Starting to act in a way that embodies ones aspirations.C) Adjusting ones behavior gradually over a period of time.D) Considering ways of reducing ones psychological burdens.Passage Twouestions 51 to 55 are based on

33、Frida Bengtsson from Greenpeaces Protect the Antarctic campaign said: “If the krill industry wants to show its a responsible player, then it should be voluntarily getting out of any area which is being proposed as an ocean sanctuary, and should instead be backing the protection of these huge tracts

C40ur long-term operation in the region depends on a h
38、ealthy and thriving Antarctic marine ecosystem, which is why we have always had an open dialogue with the environmental non-governmentalorganisations. We strongly intend to continue this dialogue, including talks with Greenpeace, to discuss improvements based on the latest scientific data. We are no
39、t the ones to decide on the establishment of marine protected areas, but we hope to contribute positively with our knowledge and experience.”What does Greenpeaces study find about krill fishingA) It caused a great many penguins and whales to migrate.B) It was depriving penguins and whales of their h
