typing d. stop smokingc why do people drink too much, eat too much, smoke cigarettes or take drugs? whats to blame for all the bad behavior? most people would say that, while these self-destructive (自我毁灭的) acts can have many root causes, they all have one obvious thing in common: they are all examples of failures of self-control, lacking the will power to resist（抵抗） them.according to a recent study, however, if you really think about it, something about that simple answer doesnt quite make sense. in fact, it turns out that sometimes its having will power that really gets you into trouble.think back to the time you took your very first sip (啜饮) of beer. disgusting, wasnt it? when my father gave me my first taste of beer as a teenager, i wondered why anyone would voluntarily drink it. and smoking? no one enjoys their first cigarette it tastes awful. so even though smoking, and drinking alcohol or coffee, can become temptation (诱惑) you need will power to resist, they never, ever start out that way.just getting past those first horrible experiences actually requires a lot of self-control. ironically (讽刺的是), only those who can control themselves well, rather than give in to them, can ever come to someday develop a “taste” for budweiser beer, marlboro cigarettes, or dark-roasted starbucks coffee. we do it for social acceptance. we force ourselves to consume alcohol, cigarettes, coffee and even illegal drugs, in order to seem experienced, grown-up, and cool.these bad habits arent self-control failures far from it. they are voluntary choices, and they are in fact self-control successes. self-control is simply a tool to be put to some use, helpful or harmful. to live happy and productive lives, we need to develop not only our self-control, but also the wisdom to make good decisions about when and where to apply it.48. what do most people think causes bad behavior? a. being forced by others. b. not having enough will power. c. enjoying their first experiences. d. following the examples of their friends.49. the author mentions his experience in the third paragraph to prove _. a. will power helps develop bad habits sometimes b. drinking beer is harmful to the health of teenagers c. self-control should be developed when one is young d. everyone can be challenged by different temptations50. in the last paragraph, the author stresses that _. a. without self-control, no one can succeed b. bad habits dont always lead to bad results c. applying self-control correctly is important d. people can develop wisdom from bad behavior51. what would be the best title for the passage? a. my first sip of beer b. do you have will power ? c. will power benefits usd. dark side of self-controldimagine your body is like the house you live in. every day, your family creates rubbish. the rubbish builds up until it is put out for the weekly garbage collection. now, say you put three bags of garbage out, but because one of the collectors was away sick, only two bags are collected. you take the leftover bag inside to be put out again next week. the following week you put on another three bags, plus the leftover bag from last week. but again, only two bags are collected. imagine this cycle is repeated over the following weeks. this is a simple description of what happens to your body when your kidneys (肾脏) dont work efficiently. your body is not thoroughly emptied of waste products. other areas of the body such as blood pressure and red blood cell production are affected and the insidious process that may lead to kidney failure begins. its not uncommon for people to lose up to 90% of their kidney function before developing any symptoms. there may be no warning signs. this makes early detection (诊查) difficult. kidneys main job is to remove toxins (毒素) and unwanted water from our blood. every day our kidneys clean an average of 200 litres of blood. kidney failure may be a gradual and silent process, going unnoticed because there is no apparent pain. research shows that more than 25% of the patients requiring dialysis (透析) do not see a kidney specialist before they have to do so. some risk factors for kidney disease such as age and genetic make up are out of our control; however, some changes in lifestyle may help prevent kidney damagetwo major risk factors for kidney disease, diabetes (糖尿病) and high blood pressure, have been on the rise over the last few decadesboth conditions are chiefly affected by being overweight and not getting enough exercises, which are the potential risk factors for the kidney disease.52. the author gives the example of the house we live in to indicate that _.a. its safe and harmless for our body to keep some wasteb. its important for our body to empty the waste in time every dayc. our body will not produce any waste if our kidneys work efficiently d. it doesnt matter much if the waste in our body is not emptied in time 53. the underlined word “insidious” in the third paragraph means _.a. smooth and safe b. obvious and fastc. gradual and unnoticed d. long and painful54. we can infer that when we find some symptoms related to our kidneys,_.a. the kidney failure begins b. the kidneys can still work properlyc. we have lost about 10% of kidney functiond. the kidneys may have been seriously damaged55. which of the following helps prevent kidney damage most effectively?a. go to see a kidney specialist shortly before dialysis starts.b. take enough exercise and make early detection of kidney disease.c. try to keep low blood pressure and a stable lifestyle. d. go to hospital whenever you find any warning signs. 第二节： 根据短文内容, 从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项.选项中有两项为多余选项. if you find that your teacher is unfair to you, think about what is happening. try to find out whether your teacher really dislikes you, or whether something else is going on. here are some questions to ask yourself: 56 ask your classmates if they are having trouble with the teacher, too. if they say yes, perhaps your teacher is to blame.are you working up to your ability? maybe you got a c in your last test, and your teacher told you that you could do better. and the kid sitting beside you got a c, too. 57 isnt this unfair? well, it could be that your teacher knows that you could do better if you put more effort into it. 58 . 59 theres nothing wrong with being sensitive (敏感的) ，but if you react to criticism quite differently from others, this could be a reason why you think your teacher doesnt like you. does your teacher seem to act unfairly all the time, or just once in a while? think about the harsh (苛刻的) things your teacher has done to you. are these things happening every day, or just once or twice a month? if your teacher really hates you, you would probably be picked on all the time. 60 .a. are you the only person being treated badly, or is your teacher rough on the whole class?b. are you getting along well with your classmates? c. are you more sensitive than other students?d. are you interested
