He looked at me for a moment, and then wrote a sentence containing the best advice I‟ve ever had: Be bold and brave — and mighty (强大的) forces will come to your aid.Those words made me see clearly that when I had fallen short in the past, it was seldom because I had tried and failed. It was usually because I had let fear of failure stop me from trying at all. On the other hand, whenever I had plunged into deep water, forced by courage or circumstance, I had always been able to swim until I got my feet on the ground again.Boldness means a decision to bite off more than you can eat. And there is nothing mysterious about the mighty forces. They are potential powers we possess: energy, skill, sound judgment, creative ideas — even physical strength greater than most of us realize.Admittedly, those mighty forces are spiritual ones. But they are more important than physical ones. A college classmate of mine, Tim, was an excellent football player, even though he weighed much less than the average player. “In one game I suddenly found myself confronting a huge player, who had nothing but me between him and our goal line,” said Tim. “I was so frightened that I closed my eyes and desperately threw myself at that guy like a bullet —and stopped him cold.”Boldness — a willingness to extend yourself to the extreme—is not one that can be acquired overnight. But it can be taught to children and developed in adults. Confidence builds up. Surely, there will be setbacks (挫折) and disappointments in life; boldness in itself is no guarantee of success. But the person who tries to do something and fails is a lot better off than the person who tries to do nothing and succeeds.So, always try to live a little bit beyond your abilities—and you‟ll find your abilities are greater than you ever dreamed.1．Why was the author sometimes unable to reach his goal in the past?A. He faced huge risks.B. He lacked mighty forces.C. Fear prevented him from trying.D. Failure blocked his way to success.2．What was especially important for Tim‟s successful defense in the football game?A. His physical strength.B. His basic skill.C. His real fear.D. His spiritual force.3．What is the author‟s purpose in writing this passage?A. To encourage people to be courageous.B. To advise people to build up physical power.C. To tell people the ways to guarantee success.D. To recommend people to develop more abilities.B【2016-2017学年黑龙江双鸭山一中高二9月考】John Smith was a very handsome young man but he was lazy. He had finished his education and was happy to sit in his room and listen to the radio all day long. In fact, he had been doing nothing for almost six months, which worried his father a lot. One day Mr. Smith decided that he had to do something. “Johnny, When I was your age I was working and supporting my ten brothers and sisters. I want you to go out and get a job.” So t hat was what he did. In fact, in the next three months, Johnny started ten jobs and was fired from ten jobs. He explained to his father.“They wanted me to be at work at 8:00 a. m. and told me to do all sorts of unpleasant things.”“I don‟t care how you do it,” Mr. Smith said. “Either you earn some money or move out of the house. I gave you one week‟s time.”In the next few days Johnny began to change. He still stayed in his room all day, but spent his time writing letters and reading through the newspapers. More and more posts began to arrive for him. He bought a new suit for himself and invited his parents to the theatre and for dinner afterwards at the most expensive restaurant in town. When his proud parents arrived home after their evening hour, a policeman was waiting at the front door.“John Smith,” he said as he handed him a piece of paper, “I‟ll see you in the court tomorrow.”When he got outside, Johnny told his parents everything. “When you told me to earn some money, I decided to put an advertisem ent in the newspaper saying, …New way to money fast! Send me $ 5 and I‟ll tell you my secret.‟ When I received the money I wrote back telling people to do as I do.”Johnny was fined $250 by the court and was ordered to pay all the people back.

He replied, “You mean fortunately.” He explained that I should be glad of the extra exercise that the hill provided.My attitude to the hill has now changed. I used to complain as I approached it but now I tell myself the following. This hill will exercise my heart and lungs. It will help me to lose weight and get fit. It will mean that I live longer. This hill is my friend. Finally I comfort myself with the thought of all those silly people who pay money to go to a gym and sit on stationery exercise bicycles when I can get the same value for free. I have a smile of satisfaction as I reach the top of the hill.Problems are there to be faced and overcome. We cannot achieve anything with an easy life. Helen Keller was the first deaf and blind person to gain a university degree. Her activism and writing proved inspirational. She wrote, “Character cannot be developed in e ase. Only through experiences of suffering can the soul be strengthened, vision cleared, ambition inspired and success achieved.”One of the main determinants of success in life is our attitude towards adversity (逆境). From time to time we all face hardships, problems, accidents and difficulties. Some are of our making but many are no fault of our own. While we cannot choose the adversity, we can choose our attitude towards it.Douglas Bader was 21 when in 1931 he had both legs cut off following a flying accident．He was determined to fly again and went on to become one of the leading flying aviators in the Battle of Britain with 22 aerial victories over the Germans．He was an inspiration to others during the war. He said, “Don‟t listen to anyone who tells you that you can‟t do this or that. That‟s nonsense. Make up your mind, you‟ll never use crutches (拐杖) or a stick, and then have a go at everything. Go to school, and join in all the games you can. Go anywhere you want to. But never, never let them persuade yo u that things are too difficult or impossible.”The biographies (传记) of great people are full of examples of how they took steps to overcome the difficulties they faced. The common thread is that they did not become depressed. They chose their attitude. They chose to be positive. They took on the challenge. They won.Nevertheless, there is still the problem of how you change your attitude towards adversity.8．Which of the following is true according to the author of the passage?A. Going to a gym is greatl y beneficial to people‟s health.B. Climbing hills on bicycles is the best way to take exercise.C. Those who want to achieve success can‟t expect to live an easy life.D. People‟s attitude to adversity is the only factor of their success.9．By quoting wh at Douglas Bader said, the author intends to tell us “.”A. Nothing is difficult to the man who will try.B. A bad workman quarrels with his tools.C. If you risk nothing, you will have nothing.D. Failure is the mother of success．10．Following this passage, the author will further talk about.A. how his friend helped him to change his attitude towards the adversity he facedB. why it is important to keep optimistic in face of adversityC. what steps to take to change your attitude towards the adversity you faceD. what great people have in commonVI．书面表达(满分25分)【2016-2017学年宁夏银川二中高二上第一次月考】请以An Environmental Protection Activity为题，写一篇100词左右的英语短文。
