6．There are two basic ways to see growth：one as a product，the other as a process．People have generally viewed personal growth as an external （外在的） result or a product that can easily be identified and measured．The worker who gets a rise，the student whose grades improve，the foreigner who learns a new language-all these examples of people who have measurable results to show for their efforts．
By contrast （對照），the process of personal growth is much more difficult to determine，since it is a journey and not the specific signposts or landmarks along the way．The process is not the road itself，but the attitudes，feelings people have，and their caution or courage，as they meet with new experiences and unexpected difficulties．In this process，the journey never really ends；there are always new ways to experience the world，new ideas to try，new challenges to accept．
In order to grow，to travel new roads，people need to have a willingness to take risks，to face the unknown，and to accept the possibility that they may"fail"at first．How we see ourselves as we try a new way of being is necessary for our ability to grow．Do we see ourselves as quick and curious？If so，we tend to take more chances and be more open to unfamiliar experiences．Do we think we're shy and indecisive？Then our sense of fear can cause us to hesitate，to move slowly，and we think we are slow to adapt change or that we're not smart enough to deal with a new challenge．Then we are likely to take a more passive role or not try at all．
These feelings of insecurity and self-doubt are both unavoidable and necessary if we are to change and grow．If we protect ourselves too much，then we stop growing．We become trapped inside a shell of our own making．

26．In the author's eye，one who views personal growth as a process wouldC．
A．succeed in climbing up the social ladder
B．grow up from his own achievements
C．face difficulties and take up challenges
D．a(chǎn)im high and reach his goal each time
27．Which of the following can be viewed as the process of personal growing？A
A．Our manager was always willing to accept new challenges．
B．Jane won the first prize in the speech competition．
C．Jerry picked up French during his stay in Paris．
D．Father's salary rose from 5，000to 7，000．
28．For personal growth，the author is in favor of all the following exceptD．
A．being curious about more changes  
B．being quick in self-adaptation
C．having an open mind to new experiences
D．staying away from failures and challenges
29．Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage？C
A．It is not so easy to measure personal growth．
B．To try and fail on the new road facing the unknown is unavoidable．
C．There are only two ways to see a person's growth．
D．If you are too shy to take any risks in life，you cannot grow up．
30．The best title for this passage should beB．
A．Facing New Challenges                  B．Growth-Product or Process
C．Two Basic Ways of Growth               D．Overcoming Internal Fears．

16．The way food is labeled（標簽） affects how much eat of it，according to new research．Scientists have discovered that people tend to eat more of a portion （部分） if they believe it to be regular or small"．However，if a portion is termed as being"large"，people tend to leave some of the food they have-been given．
Dr Brian Wansink and Dr David Just，of the Food & Brand Labat Cornell University，have discovered that people tend to eat more of an item if its size is termed"regular"than if it's termed"double size"-even if the actual portion is the same．
"If  labels are used as size information，policies governing normative （規(guī)范） names could help reduce the consumption of food or reduce waste，"the researchers wrote in the Study．For the study，researchers served participants either one portion of a lunch item，or two portions．
For some of the participants，the single portion of food was called"half-size"and the double portion was called regular"，while．For the other participants，the single portion was called"regular"and the double portion was called"double size"．
Researchers found that participants ate more when eating from the"regular"-labeled portion，compared with eating from the"double size"-labeled portion，even though the portion sizes were exactly the same．Dr Wansink and Dr Just also discovered that a person's willingness to pay for food was also dependent on food labels．If a food is considered a Half-size，they are only Willing to pay half the price as a"regular"portion，-even if the actual portion sizes do not reflect their labels．
Dr Wansink and Dr Just previously found that the color of a plate could influence how much a person ate．Research also found that people served food on tables with a higher color contrast （反差 ） between the plate and the tablecloth ate more than those who were served the same amount of food without an obvious contrast．
28．According to the study，we can know that people tend toC
A．eat less if they believe it to be regular or small
B．eat more when the label is double-sized than it is regular
C．leave some of the food if a portion is termed being large
D．eat more if policies government normative names are signed
29．In the research we can know thatA
A．the portion size of 2labels were exactly the same
B．participants eat less when eating from the regular labeled portion
C．a(chǎn) person's willingness to pay for food is not dependent on food labels
D．the use of color could influence the quantity of food people have
30．What is the main idea of the last paragraph？D
A．people should use the contrast to eat more
B．the plate and the tablecloth should be the same color
C．people will eat less when the plate is white and black
D．the use of color could influence the quantity of food people have
31．Where is the study most probable published？C
A．in the journal of Sport Report
B．in the journal of Economics Research
C．in the journal of Consumers Research

14．These days no car show is complete without an electric car，and the 2011North American International Auto Show in Detroit，US，which ran from January 10to 23，was no exception．
Among the fully electric vehicles on display were the Ford Focus Electric and the Honda Fit EV．BMW and Volvo also had prominent displays at the show，proving that they can produce practical，yet spacious family-oriented electric cars．
Industry insiders at the show claimed that more efficient batteries，improved performance and greater consumer acceptance could make 2011the"year of electric car"．
It's long been clear that electric cars score heavily for convenience．They are，for instance，much easier to maintain than gasoline-powered cars．When the battery runs out，you simply replace it or recharge it，just like you would for a cell phone or a laptop．
This is also a much cheaper method than filling your tank with gasoline．Better yet，electric cars don't emit exhaust fumes．As a result，they don't produce environmentally damaging greenhouse gases．
It appears that improved technology is making electric cars and their maintenance much more user-friendly．So，what are the obstacles which are preventing electric cars from becoming popular and fashionable？
Home charging for electric cars could be extremely convenient for users．However，it is also a potential obstacle．For a start，installing charging stations in owners'homes will be a challenge，particularly for those who have to park several blocks away from their homes．
Also，charging the car's battery still takes quite a long time．It may be some time yet before you can recharge an electric car in the same time as you can refill your gas tank．
Another problem is that many electric vehicles have limited ranges that may only allow for journeys of 50miles （80km） or less between charges．In cases where a driver wishes to charge the car primarily at home （perhaps overnight），this limits their daily driving to the range of their vehicle．
This may be one reason why hybrid cars are now becoming more popular．A hybrid car has more than one energy source，usually a traditional gasoline fuel tank and an electric battery．It's like a more practical version of an electric car：It's greener than a conventional vehicle，with fewer CO2emissions，yet it also doubles as a conventional vehicle．
"I would say that hybrid is a transition to fully electronic，"Road and Track magazine editor Richard Horman told Detroit News during the show．"The trend is for lighter，smarter，more economical cars．Of course，electronic vehicles are meant to be that way．"
This sounds promising，particularly in light of the fact that the show featured more electric cars from big manufacturers than ever before．
However，it seems that the technology associated with electric cars is not yet able to fully meet people's expectations．Don't expect gasoline-powered cars to disappear from roads just yet．

60．What made electric cars more convenient？A
A．Easier maintenance．
B．High scores on the show．
C．Practicality and large space．
D．Much lower prices．
61．Which of the following could NOT act as a potential obstacle of electric cars？D
A．It is rough work to install charging stations at home．
B．It is time-consuming to charge the batteries．
C．The ranges between charges are limited．
D．There's no need to fill the tank with petrol．
62．In Paragraph 10，the underlined word"hybrid"is probably closest in meaning toC．
A．gasoline       B．electric    C．combined    D．separated
63．The writer's purpose in writing this passage is toB．
A．introduce the 2011Auto Show in US       B．get readers informed of electric cars
C．comment on different types of cars      D．a(chǎn)dvertise for electric cars．

1．During the years after the terrorist attack on the World Trade Center，structural engineers have been trying hard to solve a question that would otherwise have been completely unthinkable：Can building be designed to stand catastrophic blasts （攻擊） by terrorists？
Soon after the terrorist attacks on the twin towers，structural engineers from the University at Buffalo and the Multidisciplinary Center for Earthquake Engineering Research （MCEER） traveled to ground zero as part of a project funded by the National Science Foundation．They spent two days beginning the task of formulating （構(gòu)思） ideas about how to design such structures and to search for clues on how to do so in buildings that were damaged，but still are standing．
"Our objective in visiting ground zero was to go and look at the buildings surrounding the World Trade Center，those buildings that are still standing，but that sustained damage，"said M．Bruneau，Ph．D．"Our immediate hope is that we can develop a better understanding as to why those buildings remain standing，while our long-term goal is to see whether earthquake engineering technologies can be married to existing technologies to achieve enhanced performance of buildings in the event of terrorist attacks，"he added．
Photographs taken by the investigators demonstrate the monumental damage to the World Trade Center towers and buildings nearby．One building a block away from the towers remains standing，but was badly damaged．"This building is many meters away from the World Trade Center and yet we see a column （柱子） there that used to be part of that building，"explained A．Whittaker，Ph．D．"The column became a missile that shot across the road，through the window and through the floor．"
The visit to the area also brought some surprises，according to the engineers．For example，the floor framing （框架） system in one of the buildings was quite strong，allowing floors that were pierced by tons of falling debris （殘礫） to survive．"Good framing systems may provide a simple，but reliable strategy for blast resistance，"he added．Other strategies may include providing alternate paths for gravity loads in the event that a load-bearing column fails．"We also need a better understanding of the mechanism of collapse，"said A．Whittaker．"We need to find out what causes a building to collapse and how you can predict it．"
A．Reinhorn，Ph．D．noted that"earthquake shaking has led to the collapse of buildings in the past．Solutions developed for earthquake-resistant design may apply to blast engineering and terrorist-resistant design．Part of our mission now is to transfer these solutions and to develop new ones where none exist at present．"

67．The question raised in the first paragraph is oneC．
A．that was asked by structural engineers a month ago
B．that is too difficult for structural engineers a month ago
C．that was never thought of before the terrorist attack
D．that terrorists are eager to find a solution to
68．The column mentioned by Dr．WhittakerA．
A．was part of the building close to the World Trade Center
B．was part of the World Trade Center
C．was shot through the window and the floor of the World Trade Center
D．damaged many buildings near the World Trade Center
69．A surprising discovery made by the investigators during their visit to ground zero is thatB．
A．floors in the faraway buildings remained undamaged
B．some floor framing systems demonstrate resistance to explosion
C．complex floor framing systems are more blast resistant
D．floors in one of the buildings were pierced by tons of debris
70．What Dr．Reinhorn said in the last paragraph may imply all the following EXCEPT thatD．
A．blast engineers should develop new solutions for terror-resistant design
B．blast engineering can borrow technologies developed for terror-resistant design
C．solutions developed for earthquake-resistant design may apply to terrorist-resistant design
D．blast engineering emerges as a totally new branch of science．

18．As they migrate（遷移），butterflies and moths choose the winds they want to fly with，and they change their body positions if they start floating in the wrong direction．This new finding suggests that insects may employ some of the same methods that birds use for traveling long distances．Scientists have long thought that insects were simply at the mercy of the wind．
    Fascinating as their skills of flight are，migrating behavior has been difficult to study in．insects because  many long distant trips  happen thousands thousands of feet above ground． Only recently i have scientists developed technologies that can detect such little creatures at such great heights．
To their surpri se，though，the insects weren't passive travelers on the winds．In autumn，for example，most light winds blew from the east，but the insects somehow sought out ones that carried  them south and they positioned themselves to navigate directly to their wIntenng homes．
 Even in the spring，when most winds flowed northward，the insects didn't always go with the flow．If breezes weren't blowing in the exact direction they wanted to go，the insects changed their body positions to compensate．Many migrating birds do the same thing．
The study also found，butterflies and moths actively flew within the air streams that pushed them along．By adding flight speeds to wind speeds，the scientists calculated that butterflies and moths can travel as fast as 100 kilometers an hour．The findings may have real-world applications．
With climate warming，migrating insects are growing in number．Knowing how and when these pests move could help when farmers decide when to spray their crops．
71．Whatl S the main idea of the text？C
  A．Insects migrate with the seasons．
  B．Wind helps insects greatly in migrating．
  C．Windsurfing insects have real direction．
  D．Scientists have trouble in observing insects．
72．Scientists originally thought thatC．
  A．insects always waited for their favourable winds
  B．insects chose the winds they wanted to ride
  C．insects were j ust blown about by the wind
  D．insects posi tioned themselves in the winds  
73．It is not easy to stuay the migrating behavior of the insects becauseD
  A．the little creatures can fly very fast
  B．they have no regular migrating courses
  C．the wind's direction is hard to f．oresee  
  D．their flight is long and high above ground
74．We can learn from the text thatA
   A．insects fly in the way birds do
   B•insects travel more easily in autumn
   C．insects never position themselves when flying low   
   D．insects rest a lot when the wind pushes them along
75．According to the passage，the findings canB．
  A．increase insects in number    B．instruct farmers when to spray
  C．prevent climate warming    D．help protect insects．

16．If something that you're doing doesn't challenge you，then it doesn't change you．We all need some normal stress in our lives，after all．（36）G So challenge the following limits：
Figure out what you're scared of and do it continuously．
If you're a salesman，and you're scared of talking to people personally or over the phone，now，instead of being scared and thinking you'll fail，spend at least five minutes a day to pick up the phone and make a call．（37）B But don't stop on the first try!Eventually，you can look at fear in the eyes and say，"Go on，I'm not scared!"
（38）F
Make sure this hobby is not linked to your career； you have to relax and relieve your stress while performing this．Some examples might be cooking，sewing，painting and so on．Apart from helping you challenge yourself，taking a class for your hobby may also give you extra income．
Set aside at least nine minutes a day for physical exercise．
（39）CA simple 9-minute run around your neighborhood can do wonders for yourself．Exercise can not only help you maintain your regular weight，but also make you feel better about yourself．
Travel and allow yourself to be interested in new people．
Don't just limit yourself to your fellow travelers-try to connect with the service staff．You never know what kind of people they're going to be．Get out of your house or go online right now to book your class．（40）E
A． You should do it continuously．
B． Someone may hang up on you．
C． You don't need to go to the gym．
D． Running in the gym may be a better choice．
E． Start to travel now and learn to challenge yourself．
F． Take a class for a hobby you've been wanting to develop．
G． You can never see any improvement if you stick to your comfort zone．
