二、 新的题型
17. The Winner’s Guide to Success
How do successful people think? What helps them to make success? To find out the answers, an American scholar recently visited some of the most successful people in America. 36 . Be responsible for yourself
Sometimes you may want to blame others for your failure to get ahead. In fact, when you say someone or something outside of yourself is stopping you from making success, you’re giving away your own power. You’re saying, “You have more control over my life than I do.”
Live life “on purpose”
Almost all successful people live life “on purpose”. 37 .When you live your life on purpose, you’ll try your best to do your job or study as well as you can. You love what you do and you can find pleasure in what you do. Write a plan
It is very difficult trying to get what you want without a good plan. It is just like trying to drive through strange roads to a city far away. 38 Without this “map”, you may waste your time, money and also your energy; while with the “map” you’ll enjoy the “trip” and get what you want in the shortest possible time. Be willing to pay the price
Nothing great is easy to get. So you must be ready to work hard-even harder than you have ever done. If you are not willing to pay the price, you won’t get anything valuable. 39
It seems to us that everyone knows this. But it is easier said than done. When you are doing something, you must tell yourself again and again: Giving up is worse than failure because failure can be the mother of success, but giving up means the death of hope. Don’t delay
Once an American writer was writing a novel. He could not have a good ending for his book until one night when he had a very good idea. He was so excited that he made a phone call to one of his best friends. “I’ve got a perfect idea,” he said, “I’ll put it down later and show it to you.” But he never did, because he died that night. His book was left without a perfect ending. 40 . Never delay at all.
A. Some people achieve success much later in life because they fail to realize earlier the importance of hard work
B. So remember, do what you can right away C. Never give up
D. A good plan is like a map to you
E. Here are some keys to success that they give
F. They are doing what they believe they should and want to do G. Make a decision

三、 阅读理解
18. Britain's long-term unemployed could be forced to carry out manual work or risk losing their welfare benefits under plans being put forward by the government.
The U．S.-style scheme would see the long-term jobless ordered to take up four-week placements in order to get them used to having a full-time job.
The idea is part of major reforms, due to be unveiled this week, to make cuts to Britain's huge welfare bill, reduce dependency on benefits and weed out those earning money but not declaring it, papers said. “What we are talking about here is people who have not been used to working having both the opportunity and perhaps a bit more of a push as well, to experience the workplace from time to time. The vast majority of people in Britain will think that is the right thing to do.” Foreign Secretary William Hague told BBC TV.
Shortly after the Conservative-Liberal Democrat Union took power in May, Work and Pensions Secretary Iain Duncan Smith unveiled plans to simplify the complex web of benefits available to reduce errors and inefficiencies.
Duncan Smith said the system had become regressive and was not giving people the right encouragement to work as many were financially better off unemployed.
Under his plans separate benefits for items such as housing, income support or disability will be replaced by a “universal credit” system whereby (靠那个) individual households would get a single welfare payment to ensure those in work would be better off.
The Observer newspaper said that in return, long-term unemployed would be told to take up work placements of at least 30 hours a week for a four-week period.
If they refuse or fail to complete the programme, their jobseekers' allowance, worth 64.30 pounds a week for those over 25, could be stopped for at least three months.
48．What will the unemployed with welfare benefits face if the major reform takes effect? A．They will lose their welfare benefit if the don't work. B．They will be encouraged to buy their own farms.
C．They will do some kinds of jobs. D．Either A or C.
49．What will most British people think of the new reform according to William Hague? A．They are against it since the unemployed are poor. B．They are for it since the unemployed should keep fit.
C．They are for it since it's unfair for the employed and unemployed.
D．They don't care as there're a few unemployed people having welfare benefit. 50．How can a long-term unemployed save his welfare benefit at least? A．They could be introduced to work in some foreign countries. B．They should work at least thirty hours a week for four weeks. C．They should help neighbors and friends in their spare time. D．They should work for the churches without accepting pay. 51．The underlined word in Paragraph 6 most likely means ________. A．well-received
B．far-reaching
C．old-fashioned
D．live-and-let-live (和平共存的)
参考答案：
48.C 49.C 50.B 51.C
【语篇大意】由于英国的福利过高，再加上近年来的经济危机造成的高失业率，越来越多的英国人不愿再去劳心费力地工作，干脆赖在家里向政府伸手要钱。当局为了减少养“好逸恶劳者”的经费，出台强制性劳动方案，要求失业的人从事体力工作，以此督促他们积极寻找工作。
48.细节理解题。第一段第一句话的“carry out manual work or risk losing their welfare benefits”说明在新政下“懒汉”们面临的两种选择。
49.推理判断题。第四段倒数第二句话的“vast majority of people in Britain will think that is the right thing to do”说明绝大多数英国人对新政的支持。
50.细节理解题。倒数第二段的“at least 30 hours a week for a four-week period”说明新政下“懒汉”们要采取的工作方式。
51.词义猜测题。从该词所在句的“was not giving people the right encouragement to work”可知即将取消的措施就要已经过时了，而原因状语从句里的“many were financially better off unemployed”说明D项是错误的。
19. Travelling can be a way to gain life experiences，especially during Spring Break—a week long school vacation in the United States. But what if you’re a student and don’t have enough money for a trip? Don’t
worry. Here are some useful suggestions.
Save：This probably is the most important preparation for travelling. Cut expenses (费用)to fatten your wallet so you will have more choices about where to go and how to get there.
Plan ahead：Don’t wait until the last minute to plan your trip. Tickets may cost more when bought on short notice. Giving yourself several months to get ready can mean security and savings.
Do your homework：No matter where you go，research the places you will visit. Decide what to see. Travel books will provide information on the cheapest hotels and restaurants.
Plan sensibly（合理）：Write down what you expect to spend for food and hotels. Stick to your plan or you may not have enough money to cover everything.
Travel in groups：Find someone who is interested in visiting the same place. By travelling with others you can share costs and experiences.
Work as you go：Need more money to support your trip? Look for work in the places you visit. Go off the beaten path:Tourism cities may be expensive. You may want to rethink your trip and go to a less－known area. Smaller towns can have many interesting activities and sights.
Pack necessary things：The most important things to take are not always clothes. Remember to take medicine in case you get sick and snacks in case you cannot find a cheap restaurant.
Use the Internet：The Net can help to save money. Some useful websites include www.Travelocity.com，www. bargains－lowestfare.com and www.economictravel.com.
By planning sensibly，even students can enjoy the travel. Your travel experiences will be remembered for a lifetime.
