阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后从1～20题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项标号涂黑。
Two runners stand side by side at the starting line of a race. Both look very strong and fast. 41 one runner speeds ahead and wins the race. The other falls behind.
Some athletes can reach great 42 such as the achievement of an Olympic gold medal. Others never live up to their 43 . What kind of 44 before a race or another event makes the 45 ?
Everyone knows that athletes work out to strengthen their 46 . But research shows that strengthening the mind may be just as 47 . Careful study indicates that the best athletes win 48 because they think they can win.
Thinking positive thoughts seems to give possibility for 49 in sports. People who say “I know I can do this” to themselves over and over often find they have the 50 to win. On the other hand, people who think “I can’t win” often 51 ,
One procedure that helps many athletes is creating 52 in the mind. They are told to think of each 53 they must make to win. Some use pictures that are more fanciful (富于幻想的). One skater liked to 54 a star bursting inside her, 55 her with energy. Another athlete who wanted to feel 56 pictured himself as a 57 floating in the air.
Next time you want to do something well, try training your 58 to help you. Perhaps a teacher or another instructor can help you plan your training. If you imagine yourself doing better, you may soon see 59 in what you 60 can do. Positive thinking and pictures created in your mind can help you win!

IV. 阅读理解 （共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项标号涂黑。
A
The desire to make explorations is born with man. Wherever his imagination goes, man also has a strong wish to go. A large part human history is connected with the exploration of the world in which we live. Again and again people have set out with surprising courage and patience to look into unknown regions and lands to see what had not yet been seen, to make known the unknown. With kites, balloons and aircraft they left the ground to pass through the lower atmosphere. Now the outer space receives their attention.
Why should man take the trouble of conquering space? It is hard to list the specific practical benefits that will result in. But one knows, from past experience in other areas, that man will surely see and discover new things in space that will increase our scientific knowledge, and this new knowledge will find its way into valuable practical uses. What we learn about man himself, from his experience in space, and from the effects of space and the space flight environment on him, will be extremely valuable. The new techniques developed to carry out the exploration of space, and to keep man alive in space, will certainly find practical uses in everyday life in some way. The areas that will benefit are manifold. They include communication, generation of power, transportation and travel, food production, materials, fuels and many others. But to say definitely just what the practical results will be is almost impossible.
61. The main idea of the first paragraph is that __________.
A. man desires to explore what is unknown
B. man often goes wherever his dreams go
C. man is no longer interested in the study of the land and sea now
D. man’s history is the exploration of the world
62. The word “manifold” in the second paragraph probably means __________.
A. vast B. various C. valuable D. practical
63. The author seems to be in favor of__________.
A. doubting the necessity of the space exploration
B. the exploration of space
C. exploring more in space than in the sea
D. his experience in space
B
In the past industries had more freedom than they have now, and they did not need to be as careful as they must today. They did not need to worry a lot about the safety of the new products that they developed. They did not have to pay much attention to the health and safety of the people who worked for them. Often new products were dangerous for the people who used them; often conditions in the work place had very bad effects on the health of the workers.
Of course sometimes there were real disasters which attracted the attention of governments and which showed need for changes. Also scientists who were doing research into the health of workers sometimes produced information which governments could not ignore. At such times, there were inquiries into the causes of the disaster or the problems. New safety rules were often introduced as a result of these inquiries; however，the new rules came too late to protect the people who had died or become seriously ill.
Today many governments have special departments which protect customers and workers. In the U.S., for example, there is a department which tests new airplanes and gives warnings about possible problems. It also makes the rules that aircraft producers must follow. Another department controls the foods and drugs that companies sell. A third department looks at the places where people work, and then reports any companies that are breaking laws which protect the health and safety of workers.
64. According to Paragraph 1, compared with today, industries in the past __________.
A. were controlled less strictly
B. were worse off
C. affected more peoples health
D. put out more unhealthy products.
65. It is implied in Paragraph 2 that years ago governments __________.
A. paid much attention to the results of scientific discoveries
B. seldom introduced safety laws before disasters occurred
C. hardly ever looked into the causes of tragedies
D. imposed safety rules as soon as disasters occurred
66. The main topic of the passage is __________.
A. industries in the past and at present
B. changes in the development of industries
C. the protection of industrial workers and customers
D. the freedom of industries
67. The purpose of this passage is to __________.
A. inform    B. criticize    C. entertain   D. persuade
C
I made a pledge (誓言) to myself on the way down to the vacation beach cottage. For two weeks I would try to be a loving husband and father. Totally loving. No ifs, ands or buts.
The idea had come to me as I listened to a talk on my car radio. The speaker was quoting a Biblical（圣经的）passage about husbands being thoughtful of their wives. Then he went on to say, “Love is an act of will. A person can choose to love.” To myself, I had to admit that I had been a selfish husband. Well, for two weeks that would change.
And it did. Right from the moment I kissed Evelyn at the door and said, “That new yellow sweater looks great on you.”
“Oh, Tom, you noticed,” she said, surprised and pleased. Maybe a little puzzled.
After the long drive, I wanted to sit and read. Evelyn suggested a walk on the beach. I started to refuse, but then I thought, “Evelyn’s been alone here with the kids all week and now she wants to be alone with me.” We walked on the beach while the children flew their kites.
So it went. Two weeks of not calling the Wall Street firm where I am a director; a visit to the shell museum though I usually hate museums. Relaxed and happy, that's how the whole vacation passed. I made a new pledge to keep on remembering to choose love.
There was one thing that went wrong with my experiment, however. Ev
