The ocean contains many strange and surprising creatures. One such creature is the puffer fish. This very strange fish is probably the most poisonous creature in the ocean. The poison that this fish produces is 275 times more poisonous than the chemical which is usually used to kill rats.

The puffer fish gets its name from the way the fish protects itself from enemies. Whenever it is attacked, the fish blows up its body to three times bigger than its normal size!

Another strange thing about this fish is the fact that it can swim like other fish. Because it does not have bones like other fish, the puffer fish can only move slowly through the water as it is carried by waves.

The puffer fish also has funny teeth. These teeth stick out of the fish’s mouth and are used by the fish to open the shells of the creatures that live on the ocean floor.

This strange, ugly, and very poisonous fish is actually a very expensive kind of food in Japan. The Japanese all this fish “fugu”, and people have been known to pay $150 per person to eat a fugu meal!

Very brave people want to eat the most poisonous part of the fugu fish on purpose. They think that this part of the fish tastes the best! Strict laws control restaurants which serve fugu; however, quite a few people have still died from eating fugu. Almost 200 people have died over the past 25 years.

When people eat fugu poison, they do not die on the spot. First, they feel a strange tickle(发痒) on their lips and in their mouth. Then they can not feel anything with their fingers. Finally, they cannot move or speak. Death follows when they can no longer breathe. The poison may take only a few minutes or up to six hours to kill a person. There is no known cure for fugu poisoning.

People who have to fly all the time for business find it boring. People who fly only once in a while are excited. However, some people feel only terror when they board an airplane. They suffer from a phobia, an illogical fear.

If you are afraid of poisonous spiders, this is logical. If you are afraid of all spiders, even harmless ones, this is a phobia because it is illogical. Some people have phobias about heights, being shut up in a small area, or being in a large open area. It is not logical to be afraid of these things when there is no danger, but a phobia is not logical.

Fear of flying is ano ther phobia. We always hear about a plane crash, but we don’t hear about millions of flights every year that are safe. Riding in a car is thirty times more dangerous than flying, but most of us are not afraid every time we get into a car. It is not logical to be afraid of flying, but research shows that about 12 percent of people have this fear.

People with this phobia about flying are afraid for one or more of these reasons. They are afraid of heights. They might be afraid of being in an enclosed place like an elevator or a tunnel on a highway. Maybe they are afraid of the crowds and all the noise and people rushing around at an airport. Some people are afraid of the unknown. They don’t understand the technology of flying and can’t believe that a huge airpl ane can stay up in the air. Others are afraid of loss of control every situation they are in.

For some people, a fear of flying is not important because they don’t really need to fly. But what about the people who have to fly if they want to continue in their professions?

A. flying on an airplane is much more dangerous than riding in a car.

B. flying on an airplane is one of the most boring things in the world.

C. people with this phobia are afraid of other things rather than flying.

From now on, never spend your precious time thinking of reasons for your failures and shortcomings. Instead, realize that the seeds of success were planted within you when you were born. Only you have the power to make those seeds grow.

The seeds, and the power to grow them, are contained in the most awesome machine ever created：the human mind. Success is a choice and not a chance. You were born a winner. You were born rich. You can be a success if only you make the right choice.

You cannot be successful without first developing your self-esteem. Your level of self-esteem is always based on the degree of control that you are able to exercise over yourself, and thus over your life. People with low self-esteem are people who do not believe that they have any power, or responsibility for their lives. They are the perennial victims and martyrs. They are leaves tossed(摇摆) by the winds of chance blown about with any sudden change in the weather.

You can exercise control over your life only to the degree that you believe that you are responsible for everything that happens in your life. Failures think that everything happens by accident and chance. Successful people realize that they are responsible.

Everything happens as a result of something. If we can identify the cause, we can control the effect. We are

responsible for what we choose to think and believe. One generally rises to the level that one expects. We are responsible for setting our expectations. Our success is dependent upon our level of confidence.

If you associate with positive-thinking people, you are definitely going to achieve success. On the contrary, the opposite happens. We are responsible for finding, planting, and nurturing the seeds that contain future victory, born from setbacks.

In short, in all areas of your life, whether they be financial, physical, emotional, or spiritual, you are responsible. Once you recognize this, accept it, and firmly believe it, you are on the road to success.

(D)64. People with low self-esteem are compared to leaves because they .

A. are ready to change their minds

B. dare easily affected by windy weather

C. don’t have the power to face their fate

D. can’t exercise control over themselves

A. success is the result of hard work

B. working hard will lead to success

C. their failure is only because of bad luck

D. they don’t make efforts to succeed

(A)66. It can be inferred from paragraph 5 that .

A. whether we will succeed depends on our attitudes

B. developing confidence is the key to future success

C. thoughts and beliefs are the result of creative mind

D. setting our expectations is essential before taking action

(B)67. The last paragraph serves as .

A. the proof of the author’s points

B. the conclusion of the argument

C. an introduction to another topic

D. a comparison between two views

(A)68. Which is the best title for the text?

A. Success is a choice.

B. The secrets of success.

C. Develop our confidence.

D. How to achieve success.

The route from north to south is a general picture of Norwegian nature：thundering waterfalls, rushing mountain streams and roads that run along glaciers(冰川), after having gone through thick pine forests and coastal lakes and fiords(海湾).

The inner part of the country is very ragged and almost one third of it is covered with trees. Despite its northern latitude, the Norwegian weather is in fact maritime(海洋性的) and damp, because it is affected by the mitigating (减轻) action of the warm Gulf Stream, coming from the Gulf of Mexico, which flows up the coast preventing the formation of sea ice.

Bergen, a port lying in the southeast of the country, is crowded with brightly colored houses, which belonged to German traders of the powerful Hanseatic League. Despite several fires, the area keeps the atmosphere of the “old port”and Commercial City from the Middle Ages. UNESCO recently declared it a World Heritage Site and included it in the list of monuments that are to be preserved.

There is a large park in the centre of Bergen which is taken up almost completely by a large lake, around which lie some of the main museums in the city.

The Hakonshallen, the most beautiful monument in the city, lies within the walls of Bergen’s fortress(堡垒). The great 13th century Gothic hall was built for the parties and the receptions in the days of the city’s control over

trade in the North sea.

You get the best view over Bergen, the fiords and the surrounding pinr—covered mountains from the belvedere(望景楼). It’s easy to admire Norwegians for their unique way of respecting the nature!

From north to south, from Lapland to Oslo and Bergen, Norwegian people has proved, with time, that human beings, as the most advanced yet most vulnerable(脆弱的) in the great family of nature, can live in harmony with all its other members.

(B)69. The purpose of the text is to .

简答题（共3小题，满分6分）

阅读下面短文，根据第73至第75小题的具体要求，简要回答问题。

If parents bring up a child with the aim of turning the child into a genius(天才), they will cause great damage to him. According to several leading educational psychologists, this is one of the biggest mistakes that some parents make. Generally, the child will understand very well what the parents expect, and will fail. Unrealistic parents’expectations can cause great damage to children.

However, if parents are not unrealistic about what they expect their children to do, but are hopeful in a sensible way, the child may succeed in doing very well—especially if the parents are very supportive to their children. Michael Li is very lucky. He is very fond of music and his parents help him a lot by taking him to concerts and arranging private piano and violin lessons for him. They even drive him 50 kilometers twice a week for violin lessons. Michael’s mother knows very little about music. Michael’s father plays the trumpet(小号) in a large orchestra. However, he never makes Michael enter music competitions if he is unwilling.

Michael’s friend, Wiston Chen, however, is not so lucky. Although both his parents are successful musicians, they set too high a standard for Wiston. They want their son to be as successful as they are and so they enter him in every piano competition held. They are very unhappy when he doesn’t win. “When I was at your age, I used to win every competition I entered.”Wiston’s father tells him. Wiston is always afraid that he will disappoint his parents and now he always seems quiet and unhappy.

73. According to the writer, why is Michael lucky?(回答词数不超过8个)

His parents help him in a sensible way.

74. What do you think is Wiston’s worry?(回答词数不超过6个)

He may disappoint his parents.

75. According to the writer, what is the most important point in bringing up a child?(回答词数不超过8个) Parents should be supportive to their children.
