When Mark was 8，his third grade teacher announced a class spelling contest；the prize was attractive to him and he wanted to win the contest badly．
In honor of the spelling contest，Mark finally agreed to a haircut．Before he changed his mind，I quickly took him to the barbershop． I used to find various prizes，like a weekend trip or a new music CD，to get him there every time his hair was long．
“Make it a lucky cut，”I instructed barber Joe．“Mark is competing in an important spelling contest next week．”
“Well，did you do your homework？”barber Joe asked． “Yes，”Mark replied．
“Did you study hard？”barber Joe asked． “Yes，”Mark replied．
“Do you have confidence？”barber Joe asked． “Confidence．C-O-N-F-I-D-E-N-C-E．Confidence．A lot of people spell that word
wrong，”Mark explained．
“Sure．You can spell it，”barber Joe responded．“But do you have it？You have got to have confidence in yourself，son．It's a winner's secret weapon（武器）．”
Mark won the spelling contest and got the prize—a free pizza lunch．And Mark never forgot barber Joe's words：“You have got to have confidence in yourself，son．It's a winner's secret weapon．”
Decades later，after becoming famous for his special design in buildings, Mark began receiving interview requests．When he discussed his design approach with one particular feature writer，the reporter asked him a question，“You're considered as a special one in the world of architecture．When everyone around says it can't be done，what makes you think you can pull it off？”
After thinking a bit，Mark replied，“Confidence．After I've done my homework，and studied my idea from every possible angle，if I still see it then I know the only thing standing between me and success is confidence．It's a winner's secret weapon．”
36．What can we infer about little Mark from the passage? A．He didn't take his study seriously． B．He didn't like to have his hair cut． C．He was not good at spelling．
D．He was a kid with few hobbies or interests．
37．What was the prize for the winner of the spelling contest? A．A new music CD． B．A free haircut．
C．A free weekend trip． D．A free pizza lunch．
38．What does Mark do now?
A．An architect． B．An engineer． C．A barber． D．A reporter．
39．From the passage，we can learn ______． A．the author was worried about Mark's study
B．the barber's words have influenced Mark greatly
C．Mark stopped doing his homework to prepare for the spelling contest D．Mark turned to many people for help to succeed in the spelling contest 40．The passage is written to ______．

In 2008 and 2009 I published two articles researching a lull（停歇）in solar activity．At the time，there appeared to be some disagreement among scientists as to what effect this might have on human-caused global warming．Now climate scientists agree a less active sun won't have much
of an effect．
According to the reports from the IPCC，global climate is expected to warm between 4 and 10 degrees Fahrenheit by the year 2100．On the other hand，scientists show that the reduction in radioactive forcing（辐射力）due to low solar activity would reduce world temperature half a degree F if the lull in solar activity lasted until the end of the 21st century．
It is highly unlikely the current lull in solar activity would have such a long period．“It is more likely that a new lull in solar activity would reduce the global temperature average of 0．2 Celsius by the end of 2100，”commented Professor Stefan Rahmstorf，who was responsible for a study of a lull in solar activity effects on climate at the Institute for Research on the Impacts of Climate Change in Potsdam．
In short，this small forcing is likely to have little，if any，observable effect on human-caused global warming，at most reducing the temperature increase to between 3．5 and 9．5 degrees F． The reason for the small effect on temperature is due to the fact that the difference between solar activity highs and lows changes solar output by less than one half of one percent．So the difference in the amount of energy coming out of the sun between solar highs and lows isn't very large．The result is that the human forcing on climate is many times larger than that caused by any natural difference in the sun．
Generally if human-caused climate_change isn't controlled it can't be stopped by natural
changes in the sun．
41．What once caused the argument among scientists? A．The reduction in world temperature．
B．That humans are responsible for global warming． C．That humans are stronger than nature．
D．Whether the lull in solar activity has effect on human-caused global warming．
42．According to scientists，world temperature would fall a little if ______． A．less CO2 is given off B．more trees are planted
C．radioactive forcing becomes strong
D．the lull in solar activity lasts a long period
43．What can we learn from the passage?
A．The author is expert at writing science fiction． B．The current lull in solar activity will last very long．
C．The power of humans is stronger than the sun on global warming． D．The IPCC reported that world temperature would fall greatly． 44．What do the underlined words“climate change”refer to? A．The flood．
B．Global warming． C．The earthquake．
D．Global environmental change．
45．What does the passage mainly talk about? A．The effect of global warming． B．An argument among scientists．
C．That humans are a cause of global warming．
D．That a less active sun cannot stop global warming． Ⅳ．七选五阅读 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
