My Thoughts on the University Arts Festival
For our university’s arts festival, I think that the university should hold open competitions and auditions for anyone who wants to take part in the festival’s exhibitions cet4v.com. This would not only increase general interest in and appreciation for the arts, but would also be a good way for our university to show its support for the arts.
This arts festival is an excellent opportunity to remind everyone that arts are important for everyone to appreciate and take part in, regardless of major.
I think that there should be general, open auditions and competitions in all the major arts. There should be categories for painting and sculpture; classical, folk and modem dance; and instrumental and choral groups, both large and small. The judges should be joint committees made up cet4v.com Students, both experts in the field and novices. Arranging the festival in this way will, I believe, give our student body a greater enjoyment of the arts, a break from studies and a fuller appreciation for what it means to bPart II Reading Comprehension (Skimming and Scanning) (15 minutes)
How to Visualize Your Success
Have you ever heard of visualization (可视化)? Of course you have. Everybody’s heard of visualization and everybody partakes in it whether they realize it or not. How it works though is an altogether different matter. I want to take a closer look today at the mechanics of why visualizing works without necessarily delving into concepts and theories that cannot be proven.
The brain has great difficulty in distinguishing between what’s true and what’s imagined. There is an off-cited (经常被引用的) example of an experiment conducted by Austrahan Psychologist, Alan Richardson. He took some basketball players and split them into 3 equal groups. One group was told to practice their free throw technique twenty minutes per day. The next group was told to spend twenty minutes per day visualizing, but not attempting free throws, and the final group wasn’t allowed to either practice or visualize. At the end of the test period the group that had done nothing remained as they were, but both the other groups showed similar degrees of improvement, The people who only visualized playing basketball were able to perform almost as well as the ones who had actually practiced.
"How can that be so?"
Firstly, the people practicing would miss some shots. Each time they missed they had in effect, practiced how to miss.
The people that were visualizing would be hitting every basket so they were building up the feelings and memory of how to be successful.
Forging a Path through a Meadow
Imagine walking home from a new job. You suddenly realize that there is a meadow of long grass that will cut 20 minutes off your walk. If you live in New York you’re going to need a great imagination for this one.
The first few times you can barely see which way you had walked the previous day. However, after 10 or 20 times you can clearly see a pathway starting to form, and after 100 times all the grass is worn away and there’s a farmer with a shotgun
and large dog waiting for you at the end. Let’s presume our gun-toting friend is a big softie and he allows you to use that route as long as you want. What are the odds that next time you try a slightly different direction? Slim to none would be my guess.
After all, you know this way works and you have a lovely easy path.
On the other hand, if Farmer Giles starts taking pot shotsat you and sportingly lets the dog try and shoot you too, before releasing it to sink its gnashers into your rear end, then you’ll probably find a new way home once you’re released from hospital.
The next time you’re walking home you opt against reacquainting yourself with Fido and spot another meadow further along the road. The same process then begins to take place only this time the original path you made has started to grow back.
How We Create a Path in Our Mind That is what happens when we form thoughts in our mind. The first time we have a new thought it is a weakling(虚弱者 ) of a thought that has sand kicked in its face by stronger thoughts and beliefs. Each time you re-think it though it grows in strength as the physical pathway becomes more and more well-defined. Not only that, but if it is a belief that contradicts one you already hold, the older belief starts to atrophy and die.
This also explains why we have the same thoughts over and over again and why people have difficulty snapping negative loops (循环) of thinking. The pathway has been established and it’s just easier to continue following it than trying to think
about something new and form a new connection in the brain.
Making Visualization Work for You
Visualization is an incredibly successful and simple way of speeding up the process by fooling the unconscious into believing that you have already done something before you have. That’s what the basketball visualizers were doing, fooling their own unconscious into thinking they know how to hit basket after basket. Of course this in and of itself will not turn you into an NBA star, you do actually have to practice as well, but it will help you succeed more quickly.
All you need to do to be successful at this is to visualize yourself doing something, as you would like to do it. Profound stuff, huh? Seriously though, that is all there is to it. How long you do it each day will affect the speed of change and it’s really
not advisable visualizing your success for 20 minutes per day and then spending 10 hours worrying about failing and replaying negative stuff in your head. It kind of defeats the object.
You can also incorporate the "fake it till you make it" method in with your visualization to help speed up the process.
This is simply a matter of pretending you are already proficient at something before you really are. Again, it’s simply a way of tricking your unconscious and getting it to do what you want it to do.
Some people have difficulty with this process and tell me it’s being unrealistic. Well yeh, maybe they’re right, but who cares? If you want to be shackled by the chains of realism then go ahead, knock yourself out, but let me tell you this. There are few highly successful people out there that haven’t used this method or visualization at one time or another. In fact, successful people don’t care too cet4v.com; it just gets in the way and cet4v.com. What about you?

无论人们是否意识到,视觉化在日常生活中普遍存在,而且起着重要的作用。本文讲述了视觉化如何运作,以及如何通过视觉化加速成功。文章先通过打篮球的例子指出想象在人的思维中所起的重要作用;然后通过现实生活申找路的例子,讲述了如何在思维中建立想象的路径,以及怎样用想象来使我们达到成功的目的。
1.B根据题干信息词visualization和works定位到文章第一段末句,即:视觉化并不需要专研其概念和理论也能运作,选项B中的searching deeply into相当于原文的delving into,故选B。选项A与原文相反。原文中提到那些概念和理论还未被证实,所以选项c也不对。
2.A根据题干信息词experiment和Alan Richardson定位到文章第二段。本题问的是“Alan Richardson试验中前两个队的结果是什么?”文中提到:被要求每天想象打篮球的人与实际练习打篮球的人水平相似,故选A。
3.B根据题干信息词visualized和actually practiced定位到文中“How Can that be so?”问题下,即文章第四段。本题问的是“那些仅仅想象打篮球的人是怎么做到与每天实际练习打篮球的人做的一样好呢?”文中提到:被要求想象打篮球的人是依靠在思维中建立感觉和记忆达到成功的,故选B。cet4v.com是否聪明、是否以前练习过打球或者看过别人练习打球,故排除A、c、D。
4.C根据题干信息词try another different direction定位到文章第六、七段。本题问“当你已经找到了一条路时,在什么情况下会使得你想尝试换另一个不同的方向?”文中提到:如果农夫用枪袭击你,并放狗咬你,一旦你从医院康复出来,你就有可能寻找一条新的路回家,故选C。选项A(你已经知道这条路cet4v.com愉快且轻松的路),原文中提到,在这种情况下换路的可能性几乎没有,slim在这里意为“(希望、可能性)微小的,渺茫的”。选项B(有一个长满长草的牧场可以缩短20分钟步行时间),这是指没有抄近路之前,而题于是you already have one path made的情况,所以排除。
5.A根据题干信息词difficulty snapping negative loops ofthinking定位到文章第二个小标题下的第二段。本题问的是“日常生活中,人们为什么很难停止消极思维的恶性循环”,该段第二句提到:由于思维已经形成,保持它比在大脑中试着想象新的事情、形成新的连接更容易,故选A。文中并没有提到消极思维是否比积极思维更容易形成并巩固,所以其他三项均排除。
6.D根据题干信息词basketball visualizers定位到文章中第三个小标题下的第一段。本题问的是“视觉化在被要求想象打篮球的人的大脑里是怎么运作的”,该段第二句提到:想象打篮球的人是这么做的,他们将自己无意识的思想变成认为他们知道怎么打篮球的思想,故选D。cet4v.com在想象之前打过篮球,也没有提到他们是否日 思夜想如何打球,故排除A、B。该段最后一句提到仅仅是想象的话不可能把他们变成NBA球星,选项c也不对。

Section A Questions 47 to 56 are based on the following passage.
Good sense is the most equitably distributed thing in the world, for each man considers himself so well provided with it that even those who are most difficult to 47 in everything else do not usually wish to have more of it than they have already.
It is not likely that everyone is 48 in this. It shows, rather, that the ability to judge rightly and separate the true from the false, which is essentially what is called good sense or 49 , is by nature equal in all men; and thus that our opinions differ not because some men are better 50 with reason than others, but only because we direct our thoughts along different paths, and do not consider the same things. For it is not enough to have a good mind; what is most important is to 51 it rightly.
The greatest souls are capable of the greatest vices; and those who walk very slowly can 52 much further, if they always keep to the direct road, than those who run and go astray.
For my part, I have never 53 my mind to be more perfect than average in any way; I have, in fact, often wished that my thoughts were as quick, or my imagination as precise and distinct, or my 54 as capacious or prompt, as those of some other
men. And I know of no other qualities than these which make for the 55 of the mind; for as to reason, or good sense, in as much as it alone makes us men and distinguishes us from the beasts, I am quite willing to believe that it is whole and entire in
each of us, and to follow in the common 56 of the philosophers who say that there are differences of more or less only among the accidents, and not among the forms, or natures, of the individuals of a single species.

Passage One
Questions 57 to 61 are based on the following passage.
Sixteen years ago, Eileen Doyle’s husband, an engineer, took his four children up for an early morning cup of tea, packed a small case and was never seen or heard of again. Eileen was astonished and in a state of despair. They had been a happy
family and, as far as she knew, there had been nothing wrong with their marriage.
Every day of the year, a small group of men and women quietly pack a few belongings and without so much as a note or a good-bye close the front door for the last time, leaving their debts, their worries and their confused families behind them.
Last year, more than 1,200 men and nearly as many women were reported missing from home--the highest in 15 years.
Many did return home within a year, but others rejected the past completely and are now living a new life somewhere under a different identity.
To those left behind this form of desertion is a terrible blow to their pride and self-confidence. Even the finality of death might be preferable. At least it does not imply rejection or failure. Worse than that, people can be left with an unfinished
marriage, not knowing whether they will have to wait seven years before they are free to start a fresh life.
Clinical psychologist Paul Brown believes most departures of this kind to be well planned rather than impulsive. "It’s typical of the kind of personality which seems able to ignore other people’s pain and difficulties. Running away, like killing
yourself, is a highly aggressive act. By creating an absence the people left behind feel guilty, upset and empty."
The Salvation Army’s Investigation Department has a 70 percent success rate in tracking missing people down. According to Lt. Co. Bramwell Pratt, head of the department, men and women run away for very different reasons though lack of
communication is often the biggest motive. "The things that disturb a man’s personality are problems like being tied up in debt or serious worries about work. And some women make impossible demands on their husbands. Women usually leave for more obvious reasons but fear is at the root of it. Men are more often prepared to give their marriage another try than women, but we are aware that, for some wives, it would be a total impossibility to return after the way they’ve been treated."

Passage Two
Questions 62 to 66 are based on the following passage.
Public speaking fills most people with dread. Humiliation (羞辱) is the greatest fear; self-exposure and failing to appeal to the audience come a close second. Women hate it most, since girls are pressurized from an early age to be concerned with appearances of all kinds.
Most people have plenty of insecurities, and this seems like a situation that will bring them out. If you were under pressure to be perfect, you are terrified of falling in the most public of ways.
While extroverts (性格外向者 ) will feel less fear before the ordeal, it does not mean they will necessarily do it better.
Some very shy people manage to shine. When I met the British comedian Julian Clary, he was shy and cautious, yet his TV performances are perfect.
In fact, personality is not the best predictor of who does it well Regardless of what you are like in real life, the key seems to be to act yourself.
Actual acting, as in performing the scripted lines of a character other than yourself, does not do the job. While politicians may limit damage by having carefully rehearsed, written scripts to speak from, there is always a hidden awareness among the
audience that the words might not be true.
Likewise, the incredibly perfect speeches of many American academics are far from natural. You may end up buying their book on the way out, but soon afterwards, it is much like fast food, and you get a nameless sense that you’ve been cheated.
Although, as Earl Spencer proved at his sister Princess Diana’s funeral, it is possible both to prepare every word and to act naturally. A script rarely works and it is used to help most speakers. But, being yourself doesn’t work either. If you spoke as if you were in your own kitchen, it would be too authentic, too unaware of the need to communicate with an audience.
I remember going to see British psychiatrist R. D. Laing speak in public. He behaved like a seriously odd person, talking off the top of his head. Although he was talking about madness and he wrote on mental illness, he seemed to be exhibiting rather than explaining it.
The best psychological place from which to speak is an unselfconscious self-consciousness, providing the illusion of being natural. Studies suggest that this state of "flow", as psychologists call it, is very satisfying.

文章以爱琳·道尔的丈夫的突然离家出走为例,具体论述了如今某些成年人抛弃家庭,和自己的过去诀别的现象和原因。
57.C综合推断题。文章第一段最后一句指出,爱琳认为他们的家庭一直很幸福,就她所知,他们的婚姻也没有任何问题。言外之意,爱琳不知道她丈夫不辞而别的原因,所以c正确。
58.A信息明示题。由文章第二段可知,每天都有一些男人和女人悄然收拾几件东西,没有留下任何纸条或说一声再见,就最后一次关上前门离家出走了。由此可知,他们离家出走并没有什么征兆,所以A正确。
59.C综合推断题。文章第四段第一句指出,这样的遗弃严重打击了被遗弃者的自尊心和自信心,再结合选项可推断出,被遗弃者会觉得自己无用并感到难堪,故选c。
60.B综合推断题。文章第五段第二句指出,这种人的典型性格就是漠视他人的痛苦与困难。由此可知,这种行为是自私的,所以B正确。
61.c综合推断题。文章最后指出,救世军调查部的主任认为,对一些妻子而言,在受到伤害后就再也不可能回到从前的生活中了,故选C;文中虽然提到女人向丈夫提出难以实现的要求是造成男人离家出走的原因之一,但说的是some(一些),而非most(绝大多数),故排除A。

62.c信息明示题。第一段的最后一句提到,女性最讨厌演讲,因为女孩子们从小就感受到公开露面的压力,因此选C。本题的干扰项D项说因为女性的害羞感更强,并不是正确选项,害羞是人们害怕演讲的首要原因,但并不是女性独有的特点。
63.c综合推断题。第二段的第一句提到,很多人都有比较强的不安全感,而这似乎是出现这种情况的原因。
根据上下文,指示代词this在这里指代的是本篇文章的主题:公开演讲,故选C。
64.B综合推断题。这是一道反向题,要求选出不是作者观点的选项。第七段提到稿子很少能起作用,它只是演讲者的拐杖而已,可见稿子的完美也并不是好的表达的必须条件。故选B。A项可以在第五段的开头找到,真正的表演,像在表演一个演员的台词,而不是自己的台词,这样是行不通的。接下来第六段指出,同样许多美国学者的完美到不可思议的演讲也非常不自然。可能在听完演讲后买他们的书,很快就会发现,你会感觉这就像快餐一样,有种莫名的上当受骗的感觉。因此C和D也是正确的。
65.D综合推断题。本题可以采用排除法。文章第四段开头指出,性格并不能最准确地预测一个人是否成功,
因此排除A。在第三段开头提到,虽然性格外向的人面对这种折磨感受到的恐惧要小一些,但并不意味着他们就会做得更好。有些很害羞的人也能出类拔萃,因此排除8和c,故选D。

To be a good teacher, you need some of the gifts of a good actor: you must be able to 67 the attention and interest of your students; you must be a 68 speaker,with a good, strong, 69. voice which is fully under your control; and you must be able to 70 what you are teaching in order to make its meaning clear. 71 a good teacher and you will see that he does not sit still 72__ his class: he stands the whole time when he is teaching; he walks about, using his 73, hands and fingers to help him in his explanations, and his face to express feelings.Listen to him, and you will __74_ the loudness, the quality and the musical note of his voice always 75 according to what he is _76 about. The fact that a good teacher has some of the gifts of a good actor doesn’t 77 that he will indeed be able to act 78 on the stage, for there are very important 79 between the teacher’s work and the actor’s. The actor has to speak words which he has learnt by heart; he has to repeat exactly the _80_ words each time he plays a certain part; _81 his movements and the
ways in which he uses his voice are usually ._82 beforehand. What he has to do is to make all these carefully learnt words and actions seem 83 on the stage.
A good teacher __84_ in quite a different way. His students take an active part in his 85 : they ask and answer questions; they obey orders; and if they don’t understand something, they will say so. The teacher therefore has to suit his act to the needs of his students.
He cannot learn his part by heart, but must 86 it as he goes along.

文章精要
文章指出,优秀的教师应该具备优秀的演员所拥有的一些天赋,并具体说明了究竟是怎样的天赋是优秀的教师与演员所共有的。还通过分析教师和演员工作方式的异同,讨论了如何利用某些与表演相关的天赋来成为一名优秀的教师。
67.B词义辨析题。原句意为“要做一名优秀教师,你得具备做一名优秀演员的一些天赋:你必须能学生的注意力和兴趣。”由此可知,应选意为“抓住,吸引”的单词,所以B正确。pay attention一般与to搭配,意为“注意……”,此处与句意不符,故排除A。
68.A词义辨析题。空格后由with引导的部分是对speaker的具体说明,结合其中提到的a good.stron9...voice可知,选项中只有clear(清晰的)与之相符,所以A正确。
69.D词义辨析题。frightenin9意为“令人恐惧的”,fearing意为“令人害怕的”,exciting意为“令人兴奋的”,pleasing意为“愉悦的,使人高兴的”,结合句意可知,D正确。
70.A词义辨析题。文章一开始就将教师与演员的角色联系在了一起,再结合句意可知,本句所要表达的是根据教学内容进行表演以使讲解清晰易懂,所以A正确。
71.C词义辨析题。listen和look为不及物动词,应与介词连用才能接宾语,故排除;observe(观察)虽然在语法上正确,但意义过于严肃,故排除;只有watch在意思和语法上均符合,故选C。
72.B介词用法题。结合上下文可知,好教师并不是一动不动地坐在讲台前的,所以B正确。要注意的是,此处class指的是班级里的学生,而不是课程。
73.D词义辨析题。结合空格后的hands and fingers可知,空格处应填入与之相近的词,以表达“教师借动作来表情达意,解释教学内容”,所以D正确。
74.A词义辨析题。空格前的listen to表示“听”的动作,再结合表并列的and及空格后的内容可知,本句所要表达的是听到教师上课时那抑扬顿挫、悦耳动听的讲课声,而hear表示的就是“听”的结果,所以应选A。
75.B词义辨析题。结合上下文可知,本句的意思是教师根据所讲的内容不断改变语调,所以B正确。
76.A惯用搭配题。选项中talk和say在含义上都符合句意,但say是及物动词,强调说的内容,不能与about搭配,故排除,talk可作不及物动词,与about构成固定搭配,意为“谈论”,所以A正确。
·考点
·talk和speak含义基本相同,在指比较随意的谈话时可代替speak,但talk更偏重于指持续的谈话。
say是用语言表达自己所想的事,着眼于所讲的话,常用于直接或间接引语之前,侧重于所说的具体内容。
77.D词义辨析题。tell意为“告诉”,express意为“表明”,show意为“表达”,mean意为“意味着”,结合句意可知,D正确。
78.c词义辨析题。act为动词,应用副词修饰,首先可排除A;badly意为“恶劣地,非常地”,actively意为“活跃地”,均不符合句意,排除;本句要表达的意思是优秀教师虽有演戏的天赋未必会演戏,故选C。
79.B词义辨析题。由下文对演员和教师的职业特点的比较可知,此处指的应该是两者的区别,所以B正确。
此处there are differences between…and…意为“……与……有区别”。
80.B逻辑衔接题。上文提到,演员只需将事先背好的台词说出来就可以了,也就是说演员在演一个固定的角色时,台词都是相同的,所以用the same,故选B。
81.D逻辑衔接题。结合上下文可知,空格后的内容与前文是递进关系,即除了台词一样以外,甚至连动作,以及说话的方式都是事先安排好的,故选D。
82.C词义辨析题。结合上文以及本句句意可知,台词甚至是动作,以及说话的方式都应该是事先安排好的,所以C正确。
83.A词义辨析题。结合句意可知,演员们所要做的就是把准备好的台词和动作在舞台上自然地表演出来,所以A正确。
84.B逻辑衔接题。结合上下文及本句句意可知,教师与演员在工作方式上有很大的区别,所以B正确。本句是过渡句,与上文形成了对比。
85.c词义辨析题。take all activepartin意为“在……中起着积极的作用”,因为本段讲的是教师的工作,所以应选C。
86.A词义辨析题。本句的意思是“教师无法把所有要讲的内容全背下来,他必须在讲课的过程中——。”由此可知,A正确,此时invent it指的就是创造性地进行教学。discover意为“发现”,指的是原本就存在的东西现在发现了,与句意不符,故排除。
·考点
·discover强调被发现的对象是原来就存在而我们不知道的,如被隐藏的东西、不知道的事情、丢失的东西、新行星、新元素、新原理、某人的秘密等,如:ColumbusdiscoveredAmerica.哥伦布发现了美洲。
·invent指“发明”,强调运用智谋或想像生产或设计出以前没有的东西;另外,它还有“捏造,虚构”之义,如:invent a likely excuse编造合适的借口。 病,但他似乎就是在表演而不是解释,因此B正确。cet4v.com中的意思相悖。

注意:此部分试题在答题卡2上 ;请在答题卡2上作答。
87.____________(通过体育锻炼),cet4v.com fit. .
88.There is I’10 doubt that____________ (需求的增长导致了价格的上涨).
89.There are plenty of opportunities for everyone in our society,but only____________ (那些做好充分准备并且高度称职的人)can make use of them to achieve purpose.
90____________ (她不仅非常聪明),but also she is a hard worker.
91.Were it to rain tomorrow,____________ (我们就不去野餐了).
87.By taking exercises|Through exercises
“锻炼”可以用名词也可以用动词短语。“通过”可以用by或through表示,通常by用于“by+doin9”,而through后接名词,即:By taking exercises/Through exercises。
88.the increase in demand resulted in|caused the rise in prices
注意分清result from和result in的区别。result from相当于be caused by,表示“由……产生”,表原因;result in相当于cause和lead to,表结果。
89.those who are fully prepared and highly qualified待译部分是分句的主语,由于该主语的修饰成分较多,所以不适合用“the+形容词”的结构来表示“一类人”。在这种情况下可以用“those+wh0引导的定语从句”这种结构来翻译。“做好充分准备”可译作be fully prepared,“高度称职的”可译作be higly qualified。
90.Not only is she very clever在cet4v.com…,no sooner…than…,hardly…when…,not until等句型中,主句要进行倒装,从句不倒装。
91.We would not go out to picnic| go for a picnic
当虚拟条件句的谓语动词含有were,should,had时,if可省略,而将were,should,had等词置于句首。因此可以判断本句是与将来事实相反的虚拟语气,主句用would/should/might/could+动词原形。“去野餐”可译作go out to picnic或go for a picnic。
