Online shopping is very popular among most Internet users. Almost 85
高二英语（第3页percent of Web users in the U. S. shop online. Korea, with 99 percent, is one of the countries where shopping online is very popular. Online shopping is easy, fast and convenient because users can shop from their homes using their computers. While online shopping is easy, there are also things you should be careful about.
If you are shopping at an online store, make sure to have your credit card handy. Many people are hesitant（有顾虑的) to give out sensitive information on the web but this is the easiest way to buy clothing without having to wander through a mall（商场）.
When shopping online, do some research to ensure that the online store you are going through has an easy return policy. Shopping for clothes online is easy and convenient but it's good to know that if something doesn't fit correctly, it won't be a huge hassle to return the purchase.
The Internet has become so common that for some, it is an everyday pastime. It is more convenient for most people on a busy schedule, and the savings in time and gasoline from driving around town make it hard to pass up. Using the Interact puts vast amounts of information at your fingertips. It's like being at the mall without crowds. With a couple of clicks of the mouse you can book a hotel, make airline reservation, send gifts to friends and family, buy that designer handbag you have always wanted, or order tens of thousands of other items. Another benefit you won't find shopping in a store or at the mall is that the internet is open around the clock, Seven days a week... 24 hours a day. 56. We can learn from the passage that _____. A. 85 percent of Americans shop online B. every online store has a return policy

How to Be a Winner
Sir Steven Redgrave
Winner of 5 Olympic Gold Medals
“In 1997 I was found to have developed diabetes (糖尿病) . Believing my career (职业生涯)was over, I felt extremely low. Then one of the specialists said there was no reason why I should stop training and competing. That was it----the encouragement I needed. I could still be a winner if I believed in myself. I am not saying that it isn’t difficult sometimes. But I wanted to prove to myself that I wasn’t finished yet. Nothing is to stand in my way.” Karen Pickering
Swimming World Champion
“I swim 4 hours a day, 6 days a week. I manage that sort of workload by putting it on top of my diary. This is the key to success—you can’t follow a career in any field without being well-organized. List what you believe you can achieve. “Trust yourself, write down your goals for the day, however small they are, and you’ll be a step closer to achieving them.” Kirsten Best Poet ＆ Writer
“When things are getting hard, a voice inside my head tells me that I can’t achieve something. Then, there are other distractions, such as family or hobbies. The key is to concentrate. When I feel tense, it helps a lot to repeat words such as ‘calm’, ‘peace’ or ‘focus’, either out loud or silently in my mind. It makes me feel more in control and increases my confidence. This is a habit that can
become second nature quite easily and is a powerful psychological (心理的) tool.”

B. Specialists offered him medical advice. C. Training helped him defeat his disease. D. He overcame the shadow of illness to win.

I’ll never forget Easter 1946. I was fourteen, my little sister, Ocy, was twelve and my older sister, Darlene, was sixteen. We lived at home with our mother, and the four of us knew what it was to do without dad. My dad had died five years before, leaving Mom with no money and seven school-aged kids to raise.
By 1946, my older sisters were married and my brothers had left home. A month before Easter, the pastor of our church announced that a special holiday offering would be taken to help a poor family. He asked everyone to save and give sacrificially.
When we got home, we talked about what we could do. We decided to buy fifty pounds of potatoes and live on them for a month. This would allow us to save twenty dollars of our grocery money for the offering. Then we thought that if we kept our electric lights turned out as much as possible and didn’t listen to the radio, we’d save money on that month’s electric bill.
The night before Easter, we were so excited we could hardly sleep. We didn’t care that we wouldn’t have new clothes for Easter; we had seventy dollars
高二英语（第4页 共7页）
for the sacrificial offering. We could hardly wait to get to church!
Finally we sat in church proudly. When the sacrificial offering was taken, we were sitting in the second row from the front. Mom put in the ten-dollar bill, and each of us kids put in a twenty-dollar bill.
We sang all the way home from church. At lunch, Mom had a surprise for us. She had bought a dozen eggs, and we had boiled Easter eggs with our fried potatoes! Later that afternoon, the minister drove up in his car. Mom went to the door, talked with him for a moment, and then came back with an envelope in her hand. We asked what it was, but she didn’t say a word. She opened the envelope and out fell a bunch of money. There were three crisp twenty-dollar bills, one ten-dollar bill and seventeen one-dollar bills.

A popular saying goes，“Sticks and stones may break my bones，but words will never hurt me．”However，that’s not really true．Words have the power to build us up or tear us down．It
doesn’t matter if the words come from someone else or ourselves--the positive and negative effects are just as lasting．
We all talk to ourselves sometimes．We’re usually too embarrassed to admit it，though．In fact，we really shouldn’t be, because more and more experts believe talking to ourselves out loud is a healthy habit．
This“ self-talk” helps us motivate ourselves，remember things，solve problems，and calm ourselves down．Be aware, though，that as much as 77％of self—talk tends to be negative．So in order to stay positive，we should only speak words of encouragement to ourselves．We should also be quick to give ourselves a pat on the back ,The next time you finish a project，do well in a test，or finally clean your room，join me in saying“ Good job!”
Often，words come out of our mouths without us thinking about the effects they will have．But we should be aware that our words cause certain responses to others．For example，when returning an item to a store，we might use warm，friendly language during the exchange．And the clerk will probably respond in a similar manner．Or harsh and critical language will most likely cause the clerk to be defensive．
Words possess power because of their lasting effect．Many of us regret something we once said．And we remember unkind words said to us! Before speaking，we should always ask ourselves：Is it true? Is it loving? Is it needed? If what we want to say doesn’t pass this test，then it’s better left unsaid．
Words possess power：both positive and negative．Those around us receive encouragement when we speak positively．We can offer hope，build self-esteem and motivate others to do their best. Negative words destroy all those things．Will we use our words to hurt or to heal? The choice is ours． 67. The author argues in the first paragraph that __________. A. words will never hurt us at all B. words have lasting effects on us
C. inspiring words give us confidence D. negative words may let us down
68. Why should not we feel embarrassed when it comes to talking to ourselves? A. Talking to ourselves is believed to be good for our health.

69. The underlined phrase “give ourselves a pat on the back” in Paragraph 3 means “ _________”.
A. blame ourselves B. punish ourselves C. talk to ourselves D. praise ourselves

The need to feed a growing population is putting much pressure on the world’s supply of water. With 97% of the world’s water too salty to be drunk or used in agriculture, the worldwide supply of water needs careful management, especially in agriculture. Although the idea of a water shortage seems strange to someone fortunate enough to live in a high rainfall country, many of the world’s agricultural industries experience constant water shortages.
Although dams can be built to store water for agricultural use in dry areas and dry seasons, the costs of water redistribution(重新分配)are very high. Not only is there the cost of the engineering itself, but there is also an environmental cost to be considered. Where valleys are flooded to create dams, houses are lost and wildlife homes destroyed. Besides, water may flow easily through pipes to fields, but it cannot be transported from one side of the world to the other. Each country must therefore rely on the management of its own water to supply its farming requirements.
This is particularly troubling for countries with agricultural industries in areas dependent on irrigation. In Texas, farmers overuse of irrigation water has resulted in a 25% reduction of the water stores. In the Central Valley area of southwestern USA, a huge water engineering project provided water for farming in dry valleys, but much of the water use has been poorly managed.
Saudi Arabia’s attempts to grow wheat in desert areas have seen the pumping of huge quantities of irrigation water from underground reserves. Because there is no rainfall in these areas, such reserves can only decrease, and it is believed that fifty years of pumping will see them run dry. 71．From the first two paragraphs we learn that ____ . A. much of the world’s water is available for use B. people in high rainfall countries feel lucky
C. the costs of water redistribution should be considered D. water can be easily carried through pipes across the world 72．Which of the following is true according to the passage? A. The water stores in Texas have been reduced by 75%. B. Most industries in the world suffer from water shortages.
C. The underground water in Saudi Arabia might run out in 50 years.
D. Good management of water use resulted from the project in the Central Valley.
73．Why is water pumped from underground reserves in desert areas in Saudi Arabia?
A. Because the wheat there lives on underground water. B. Because there is plenty of underground water there. C. Because there is no water in these areas. D. Because there is no rainfall in these areas.
74．What is most likely to be discussed in the paragraph that follows? A. Steps to improving water use management. B. Ways to reduce the costs of building dams.
C. Measures to deal with worldwide water shortages. D. Approaches to handling the pressure on water supply. 75．The passage is mainly about ___.
A. water supply and increasing population B. water use management and agriculture
C. water redistribution and wildlife protection D. water shortages and environmental protection
