17, high school was different. In the first week, Jenna went to tryouts(选拔赛)for cheerleaders(拉拉队队员). She was competing against very talented girls, and she knew it would be 18 for her to be selected. Two hours later, the 19 read a list of the girls for a second tryout. Her heart 20 as the list ended without her name. Feeling 21 , she walked home carrying her schoolbag full of homework.
Arriving home, she started with math. She had always been a good math student, but now she was 22 . She moved on to English and history, and was 23 to find that she didn’t have any trouble with those subjects. Feeling better, she decided not to 24 math for the time being.
The nest day Jenna went to see Mrs. Biden about being on the school 25 . Mrs. Biden wasn’t as 26 as Jenna. “I’m sorry, but we have enough 27 for the newspaper already. Come back next year and we’ll talk then.” Jenna smiled 28 and left. “Why is high school so 29 ?” she sighed.
Later in 30 class, Jenna devoted herself to figuring out the problems that had given her so much 31 . By the end of class, she understood how to get them right. As she gathered her books, Jenna decided she’d continue to try to 32 at her new school. She wasn’t sure if she’d succeed, but she knew she had to 33 . High school was just as her mom had said: “You will feel like a small fish in a big pond 34 a big fish in a small pond. The challenge is to become the 35 fish you can be.”

小题1:通过空前“was ready for” “准备好” 以及下文所描述的困难，可知Jenna 已经准备好了迎接高中期间新的“挑战” 且与最后一句相呼应。
小题2:尽管做了准备，然而，高中还是不一样的。同上文为转折关系。
小题3:通过上文描述“very talented girls(非常有才华的女孩们)” 可知竞争非常激烈，“她”要被选上有些“困难”
小题4:宣布第二轮选拔赛名单的人应是“裁判员” C 项为干扰项"candidate”“申请人，候选人”
小题5:通过句意可知当名单读完还没有“她”的名字的时候，“她”的心情应该是“沮丧”，选项B “sank”“下沉”与 “her heart” 连用，表心情不好。
小题6:选拔赛失利，“她”当然怀着“不好”的心情回家。选项C “awful” 含义为“极坏的”
小题7:通过句中可知，此处为转折的关系，“她”以前很擅长数学，但现在不这样了。选项 A “struggling” 含义为“（艰难的）奋斗”

小题12:句意：很抱歉，但我们的报纸已经有足够的作者了。
小题13:被拒绝，Jenna当然“无力”的一笑。
小题14:呼应第二段第一句可知，Jenna感叹高中与初中“不同”

小题16:问题带来的当然是“麻烦”
小题17:通过上句可知，“她”解决了数学难题，获得了信心，所以，当Jenna收拾课本的时候，“她”决心继续努力的去“适应”新的学校。
小题18:“try”与句中succeed 相呼应，句意：“她”不确定是否会成功，但“她”知道“她”必须去“尝试”。
小题19:通过前后两句含义可知“大池塘里的小鱼”同“小池塘里的大鱼”是对比关系，“instead of ““而不是”表对比
小题20:句意：挑战就在于成为你能成为的最好的鱼。
核心考点
试题【Jenna, a popular girl from Westwood Middle School, had graduated first in her cl】；主要考察你对题材分类等知识点的理解。[详细]
举一反三
In fact, it"s likely that some of these things have already happened to you. Who would watch you without your permission? It might be a spouse, a girl friend, a marketing company, a boss, a cop or a criminal. Whoever it is, they will see you in a way you never intended to be seen ---- the 21st century replacement of being caught naked.
Psychologists tell us boundaries are healthy, that it"s important to reveal yourself to friends, family and lovers in stages, at appropriate times. But few boundaries remain. The digital bread crumbs(碎屑) you leave everywhere make it easy for strangers to reconstruct who you are, where you are and what you like. In some cases, a simple Google search can reveal what you think. Like it or not, increasingly we live in a world where you simply cannot keep a secret.
The key question is: Does that matter?
For many Americans, the answer apparently is "no."
When opinion polls ask Americans about privacy, most say they are concerned about losing it. A survey found a strong bad feeling about privacy, with 60 percent of respondents saying they feel their privacy is "slipping away, and that bothers me."
But people say one thing and do another. Only a tiny part of Americans change any behaviors in an effort to preserve their privacy. Few people turn down a discount at tollbooths(收费站) to avoid using the EZ-Pass system that can track automobile movements. And few turn down supermarket loyalty cards. Privacy economist Alessandro Acquisti has run a series of tests that reveal people will give away personal information like Social Security numbers just to get their hands on a pitiful 50-cents-off coupon(优惠卷)。
But privacy does matter ---- at least sometimes. It"s like health: When you have it, you don"t notice it. Only when it"s gone do you wish you"d done more to protect it.
51. What does the author mean by saying "the 21st century replacement of being caught naked"?
A. People"s personal information is easily accessed without their knowledge.
B. In the 21st century people try every means to look into others" secrets.
C. People tend to be more frank with each other in the information age.
D. Criminals are easily caught on the spot with advanced technology.
52.What would psychologists advise on the relationships between friends?
A. Friends should open their hearts to each other.
B. Friends should always be faithful to each other.
C. There should be a distance even between friends.
D. There should be fewer arguments between friends.
53. Why does the author say "we live in a world where you simply cannot keep a secret"？
A. Modern society has finally developed into an open society.
B. People leave traces around when using modern technology.
C. There are always people who are curious about others" affairs.
D. Many search engines benefit from giving away people"s identities.
54. What do most Americans do as for privacy protection?
A. They change behaviors that might disclose their identity.
B. They use various loyalty cards for business transactions(交易)..
C. They rely most and more on electronic devices.
D. They talk a lot but hardly do anything about it.
55. According to the passage, privacy is like health because ___.
A. people will make every effort to keep it.
B. its importance is rarely understood
C. it is something that can easily be lost
D. people don"t treasure it until they lose it

Stress is a natural part of everyday life and there is no way to avoid it. In fact, it is not the bad thing it is often supposed to be. A certain amount of stress is vital to provide motivation and give purpose to life. It is only when the stress gets out of control that it can lead to poor performance and ill health.
The amount of stress a person can withstand depends very much on the individual. Some people are not afraid of stress, and such characters are obviously prime material for managerial responsibilities, others lose heart at the first sign of unusual difficulties. When exposed to stress, in whatever form, we react both chemically and physically. In fact we make choice between "flight or fight" and in more primitive days the choices made the difference between life or death. The crises we meet today are unlikely to be so extreme, but however little the stress, it involves the same response. It is when such a reaction lasts long, through continued exposure to stress, that health becomes endangered. Since we can"t remove stress from our lives (it would be unwise to do so even if we could), we need to find ways to deal with it.
46. People are finding less and less time for relaxing themselves because _____.
A. they regard working as their greatest enjoyment
B. they believe that work is superior to relaxation
C. they are traveling fast all the time
D. they are becoming busier with their work than ever before
47. According to the author, the most important character for a good manager is his _____.
A. strong will to hold out stress
B. knowing the art of relaxation
C. high sense of responsibility
D. having control over performance
48. Which of the following statements is TRUE, according to the passage?
A. We can find quite a few ways to avoid stress.
B. Stress is always harmful to people"s health
C. It"s easy to change the habit of keeping oneself busy with work.
D. Different people can bear different amount of stress.
49. In the last sentence of the passage, "do so" refers to _____.
A. "expose ourselves to stress"
B. "find ways to deal with stress"
C. "remove stress from our lives"
D. "establish links between diseases and stress"
50. According to the author, the right attitude toward stress is _____.
A. to avoid it B. to try to cope with it
C. to regard it as a vital motivation D. to find some relaxation
Ivan Lendl is a typical example. He has thought about every side to his game, _22___ it is playing plan against an opponent, or his diet, or fitness program. But what really __23____ me was when he told me he also knew the airline and flight number he was taking to the city in question. That is the way he __24___ everything. It is one element that has made him a champion.
One reason many of us aren’t prepared is that we rarely appreciate it. And if anyone does find out we have prepared carefully to make certain we __25___ our goal, we may well be laughed at. In fact, many people are afraid to be prepared: if they are, they lose an excellent _26____when they fail.
In sport, you meet athletes who let it be known they are not in top condition for a competition. It __27___ the pressure. If they lose, they were not at their best. If they win, they go beyond everyone’s __28___. This is a classic 50% solution: you win some, you lose some. Then there are the people who do their preparation in public. They constantly tell you how hard they are working. That way, if they fail, it is not because they did not try. This is the 75% solution: prepare well, give it your best, let things turn out as they will.
The very best performers, __29___ , spend hidden hours to make sure that they are No. 1. They don’t need or want the world to see them sweat. This is the 110% solution: First determine the __30__ result. Then calculate your effort.
21 A. chance B. possibility c. preparation D. ambition
22 A. whether B. when c. whatever D. if
23 A. amused B. delighted c. astonished D. confused
24 A. works out B. deals with c. gets to D. acts as
25 A. acquire B. achieve c. possess D. have
26 A. reason B. explanation c. prediction D. excuse
27 A. relieves B. releases c. rejects D. regulates
28 A. expectations B. wishes c. ideas D. opinions
29 A. yet B. however c. besides D. furthermore
30 A. desired B. acquired c. admired D. prepared
