Here are four steps that will help you get the most out of each failure,and move on.1. When you feel bad after failing,talk with your parents or good friend,or any other adult.Then decide to take the responsibility to improve yourself.Read the teachers’ comments on your test carefully. Ask yourself what you were trying to do and why you failed.2. Maybe you didn’t have all the information you needed; maybe you made a mistake or a poor decision.If so,give yourself a pat in theback.Fewer people ever get something right the first time they try it,and often it takes them many times.3. Sometimes the failure isn’t because of something you did or didn’t do; it is someone else’s fault.But don’t spend time blaming them; instead,move on toward your goals.Don’t give up easily.4. There is a difference between making a decision and giving up.Deciding to follow a better way is one thing; simply walking away means you really have failed.Keep trying again.Successful people are different because they choose their next steps instead of just reacting to feelings.If a goal is still important to you,figure out what to do and go after it again.5.A.No pains,no gains.B.Failure is unavoidable.C.If it isn’t,do your best on something else.D.Remove you bad feelings.E.Actually it was because you were very lazy.F.Review the situation to see what your choices are.ually it was because you were trying out a new skill or learning a new subject.SYS201801150703三、完形填空详细信息6. 难度：中等I remember the first time I got on a horse.When I was a little boy aged two,my mom agreed to let me take a short __ and that was it!

The coffee giant Starbucks is once again a popular search on the internet, and there are people who think that coffee is now replacing tea as the most popular drink inChina． But, is that really so?Starbucks opened its biggest café shop in the world in Shanghai this Wednesday． The coffee giant says this will not only give customers the usual great coffee, but also give them the full experience of how the magical coffee beans get roasted to become those wonderful drops that make up your favorite drinks． It is like the Willy Wonka factory for coffee lovers． The company is expanding aggressively, and opening a new store every 15 hours on average in China．China has very rich and splendid tea culture． What seems like the most enjoyable thing is to drink a cup of tea on a quiet day that is full of “Zen”（禅）spirit． But the fast﹣pace oflife sometimes doesn’t allow that． So there are tea shop owners locating their shops in the downtown area in order to provide quick service for customers． Take Heytea for example．It’s one of the most highly rated tea shops and it has now opened several new branches in the business areas of big cities like Beijing． Waiting in lines for longer than one hour is common． Chin a’s consumption of tea is immeasurable． According to a research of USC Institute, in China, the average person consumes 400 cups of tea per year．So it is unlikely that coffee can replace tea as the country’s main drink any time soon． The expanding coffee shops are not there to replace tea, but to provide people with another choice that they can use to enjoy life．（1）What is function of the first paragraph？________A.To inform the readers of the latest news．B.To introduce the topic of the article．C.To summarize the whole passage．D.To present the author’s argument．（2）Which of the following statements is correct about Starbucks？________A.The shop opened in Shanghai simply works as a drinking place．B.Starbucks can only be seen in the downtown area of a city．C.Starbucks holds a certain share of Chinese drinking market．D.Starbucks supplies the world with the best﹣tasting coffee．（3）What can be concluded from the third paragraph？________A.Tea culture is rooted in the hearts of Chinese citizens．B.The enjoyment of tea drinking can only be experienced in a quiet place．C.Tea consumption holds the largest share of world drinking market．D.The fast pace of modern life makes tea drinking no longer pleasant in China．（4）What is the author’s attitude to coffee and tea in China？________A.Tea may bring more pleasure to Chinese citizens’ life．B.Coffee will replace tea in Chinese drinking market．C.Both coffee and tea will make people’s life enjoya ble．D.Coffee and tea gain the same popularity in China．【答案】BCAC【考点】阅读理解综合【解析】中国的茶文化在中国人的心中根深蒂固，扩大的咖啡店不是用来代替茶的，而是为人们提供另一种他们可以用来享受生活的选择．【解答】（1） B．文章结构题．根据第一段句子：there are people who think that coffee is now replacing tea as the most popular drink in China． But， is that really so？有人认为咖啡现在取代了中国最受欢迎的饮品，但是，真的是这样吗？由此引出了本文的主题，扩大的咖啡店不是用来代替茶的，而是为人们提供另一种他们可以用来享受生活的选择．所以第一段的作用是介绍文章的主题．所以答案选B．（2） C．推理判断题．根据句子：The company is expanding aggressively， and openinga new store every 15 hours on average in China．该公司正在积极扩张，在中国平均每15小时开设一家新店．可见在中国饮料市场，星巴克占有一定的分量，所以答案选C．（3） A．主旨大意题．第三段主要写了中国有着非常丰富和灿烂的茶文化，在宁静的一天里喝一杯茶是最令人愉快的事，充满了“禅”的精神，中国的茶叶消费量平均每人每年消耗400杯．可见中国的茶文化在中国人的心中根深蒂固，所以答案选A．（4） C．推理判断题．根据文章最后一段的描述So it is unlikely that coffee can replace tea as the country’s main drink any time soon． The expanding coffee shops are not there to replace tea， but to provide people with another choice that they can use to enjoy life．咖啡不可能在不久的将来取代茶作为国家的主要饮料．扩大的咖啡店不是用来代替茶的，而是为人们提供另一种他们可以用来享受生活的选择．可见作者的认为在中国茶和咖啡一样重要．所以答案选C．4. Children think other youngsters who wear glasses look smarter and are more honest than those who don’t wear glasses, according to a U．S． study of 80 children． In addition, the researchers found that

AThere are many unique festivals around the world. Here are some of them.Las Fallas, SpainLas Fallas is one of Spain’s strangest and craziest festivals. Las Fallas means “the fire” in valencian. The focus of this festival is to create and destroy dolls. These dolls are lifelike and usually make fun of dishonest politicians and famous people in Spain. Many dolls are several feet tall. They remain complete until March 19th, after which men fill them with fireworks. All the streetlights arc turned off and the dolls are set on fire at 12 am exactly.Day of the Dead, MexicoDay of the Dead is traditionally celebrated on 1st and 2nd of November in Mexico. This festival celebrates the lives of loved ones around you who have died. Celebrations can lake a humorous tone as celebrants remember funny events about the dead. Toys are brought for the Head children and hollies of wine for adults.Mardi Gras, USAThis day can occur anytime between February 3rd and March 9th, depending on when Easter is held that year. In 1857, a group called Mystik Krewe of Comus staged the first modern style Mardi Gras parade (游行). The parades are headed by “Kings” and “Queens” who throw decorations at the crowd. Practices include dancing, sports competitions, wearing masks, etc.Night of the Radishes, MexicoIt’s one of the most colorful and un ique festivals of Mexico. It is celebrated on December 23rd. As crazy as it sounds, the festival lasts only a few hours due to the limited lifetime of vegetables as folk art.21. What do we know about the Las Fallas festival?A. Politicians love it very much.B. It is held mainly for the dead.C. It’s celebrated on 1st of November.D. Dolls are the essential elements.22. Who would probably love the Mardi Gras festival?A. Those who love watching parades.B. Those who enjoy drinking wine.C. Those who are fond of funny events.D. Those who want win dance competition.23. Why does the Night of the Radishes festival last only a few hours?A. Because the artworks don’t last long.B. Because Mexirans can’t afford the time.C. Because vegetables will be sold at the market.D. Because people aren’t interested in the festival.BMax Polazov balances with only his right toe to stop him falling, 130 meters above Moscow, Russia. Suspended hundreds of feet above the Moscow skyline, the 22-year-old boy allows the new Russian craze of extreme urban climbing.Max has been breaking into the highest buildings in his home city, Moscow, since the age of 17. “Many think that I am a madman,” said Max. “While hanging from a building, I pe rfectly concentrate on my body and I plan carefully ahead. Without special preparations, I would not advise anyone to do this.”Never does Max have a fear of heights. Instead, he has a strong desire to rise above the others and look at the world from an u nusual point of view. So far Max’s roof-topping craze has taken him from Moscow to oilier Russian cities. But he plans one Hay to come to the West—Britain, France and even the U.S.Currently, extreme urban climbing has become a youth sub-culture in Russia and each year more and more young Russians are taking to the skies of their cities. It is an absolutely frightening extreme sport for most people. But brave men like Max enjoy climbing to the top of skyscrapers and hanging from them with no belts.However, breaking into tall buildings faces conflicts with laws in most cities, and following their dangerous entertainment, there may be arrestment and imprisonment (坐牢). Usually climbers try to remain unnoticed from both security guards and police. There are exceptions when the large housing companies invite them to access their buildings, because the photos taken by those climbers may give them quite good advertising. But, after all, it is nota craze you should try!24. What does Max Polazov want to show according to the passage?A. His challenges in daily life.B. His great talent in sports.C. The bravery of Russian youths.D. A new craze in an extreme activity.25. Who might sometimes organize extreme climbing events?A. Security guards and police.B. Large housing companies.C. Advertising companies.D. Professional photographers.26. What is the best title for the passage?A. Addicted to HeightsB. Unnoticed ClimbersC. Brave Young RussiansD. Well-prepared Extreme Events27. What is the text probably taken from?A. A commercial advertisement.B. A social life magazine.C. A hook review.D. An academic newspaper.CThe authors of Peter Pan and Alice’s Adve ntures in Wonderland understood that the world they created had a Hark side, so we have the characters Captain Hook and the Queen of Hearts. These arc the traditional villains (反派角色) of children’s books. They may frighten young readers, but their funny beh aviors make them have no real authority.Many authors of more recent books for children and teenagers have similarly shown an interest in the dark side. But the dark side in children’s books today is more violent than it once was, and the shadows it left are rarely driven away by the comic characters and scenes. Instead of stories about children who will not grow up, we now have stories about children who struggle to survive. In 2009, Neil Gaiman won the Newbery Medal for The Graveyard Book, a work about d eath. Similarly, J.K. Rowling described her Harry Potter hooks as “largely about death.”It’s hard to imagine how the authors of Peter Pan and Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland came up with something like that. They had spent large amounts of time with children; so they knew what the latter wanted in their stories clearly. However, inspiration for many of today’s children’s stories does not seem lo come fromchildren’s experience. For example, according to J.K. Rowling, dementors (摄魂怪) were inspired by her own experience with depression.Nowadays, writers never produce their works on the basis of the imaginative worlds of children. In today’s stories, those safe magic worlds are rapidly disappearing as adult anxieties edge out childhood fantasy.28. What can we learn from the first paragraph?A. The author of Peter Pan had a dark side.B. Children may be scared of the villains.C. Villains’ frightening behaviors result in less authority.D. Authors of children’s book ignore the dark side.29. Which of th e following best reflects the dark side in recent children’s books?A. Evil characters.B. Comic characters.C. Children’s worries.D. Adults’ depression.30. Wind, of the following can replace the underlined phrase “edge out”?A. make up forB. make room forC. take the place ofD. take charge of31. What’s the purpose of this article?A. To introduce some children’s books to the readers.B. To list some lovely characters in children’s books.C. To point out a problem concerning recent children’s book writing.D. To analyze the differences between recent and traditional children’s books.DMore than 2.25 billion cups of coffee are consumed across the globe each day, and it is likely that many taste bitter.Now, a new study suggests that coffee lovers ran make their drink taste sweeter by simply changing the color of their coffee mps. Scientists from Federation University Australia and the University of Oxford claim that blue and glass cups reduce coffee’s bitterness, without any need for sugar, and that coffee drank from while cups tastes the bitterest.To prove their claims, the researchers invited 36 volunteers and used three different colored cups-blue, white and transparent-to do an experiment. In the experiment, coffee consumed from the white cup was found to taste less sweet when compared to the other two cups. And the cup made the coffee taste the sweetest.The scientists believe that the color brown may be associated with coffee’s bitterness because coffee in a while cup appears the brownest and tastes the bitterest. “Our study clearly shows that the color of coffee cup does influence the flavor (风味) of coffee,” Dr. George of Federation University Australia, said. “But the potenti al effects may he different between a one-time purchase and a return customer.” “Anyhow, the effect of the cup’s color on the flavor of the coffee suggests that cafe owners, waiters, as well as coffee cup producers should carefully consider the color of th eir cups,” he added.However, the idea that color can change the taste of food and drink is not new. A study published last year showed that red, strawberry-flavored cake served on a white plate was 10 percent sweeter and 15 percent more flavorful than the same food presented on a black plate.32. Why does coffee in while cups taste the least sweet?A. Because white cups are not as beautiful as other cups.B. Because while cups are better used to serve cakes.C. Because while cups reduce the sugar in them.D. Because white cups make coffee appear the brownest.33. What elements are involved in the scientists’ research?① different brands of coffee② different colored coffee cups③ some volunteers④ some producersA. ①②B. ②③C. ②④D. ③④34. What is the article mainly about?A. Color may change the taste in a way.B. Coffee cups will influence the taste.C. Customers’ preference of coffee varies.D. Café owners need careful consideration.35. How did the scientists prove their claims?A. By listing facts.B. By analyzing data.C. By doing experiments.D. By borrowing others’ ideas.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，共10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
