阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

Motivation means the desire to work toward a goal. It can come from the inside or outside and can be 　36　 or negative (消极的). When you say, “If I make a hit, we’ll win the game and I’ll be a 　37　,” you challenge yourself to do something and imagine what the 　38　 will be. You might also say, “If I fail in school, I’ll be 　39　.” Imagining the pain that 　40　 brings is a negative way of motivating yourself.

Sometimes motivation comes from the 　41　. Your parents might say, “If you do well in school, the whole 　42　 will go to Disney World.” Now you have a 　43　 reason to study hard! Your parents might also say, “If you don’t 　44　 your room, you will be forbidden to watch your favorite TV program.” This is the negative 　45　.

The best motivation comes from inside you. In fact, motivating yourself to do well 　46　 waiting for someone else to tell you is a sign that you are 　47　. People who have no 　48　 must be told what to do all the time.

Self-motivation is one thing we learn from the martial arts (武术). When we begin, our master 　49　 us everything. As we progress, the master tells us to 　50　 every day at home—and leaves us on our own! The master doesn’t ask in class whether we have practiced and doesn’t 　51　 us if we fail to do so. By saying nothing, the master 　52　 us to be grown-up enough to motivate ourselves.

If we are 　53　 about the arts, we will practice at home and do well in class. Our master will 　54　 this and encourage us to continue. Soon we will be 　55　 for testing to advance towards the next stage. We will move up because we’ve motivated ourselves.

36. A. difficult B. positive C. impossible D. secret

37. A. hero B. player C. judge D. member

41. A. outside B. mind C. bottom D. work

42. A. group B. family C. class D. school

43. A. powerful B. personal C. typical D. similar

44. A. give up B. take up C. fix up D. clean up

第三部分 阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2份，满分40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涂黑。

A

Climate change will force exhausted birds migrating to Europe from Africa to travel further, with possibly disastrous consequences, according to a study.

The annual voyage of some species, which fly north in search of food and suitable habitats, could increase by as much as 400 kilometers (250 miles), the research found. “Marathon migrations for some birds are set to become even longer,” said Stephen Willis, a professor at Durham University in Britain and the main architect of the study. “This is bad news for birds like the Whitethroat, a common farmland bird. The added distance is a considerable threat. As temperatures rise and habitats change, birds will face their biggest challenge since the Pleistocene era (更新世), which ended 11,000 years ago,” he said in a statement.

Some 500 million birds migrate each year from Africa, some weighing as little as nine grams (three-tenths of an ounce). To complete a voyage that can be thousands of kilometers long, birds have to fatten themselves up to twice their normal weight. Some even shrink their internal organs (收缩内脏) to become more fuel efficient, so any additional distance may be dangerous.

The study finds that from 2071 to 2100, nine out of 17 species examined are going to face longer migrations, particularly birds that cross the Sahara Desert. Some birds traverse the Sahara and the Mediterranean Sea in a one go, while others have a break in northern Africa before crossing. Many fly at night, when temperatures are cooler.
