copies each year．And many readers see famous mystery author Agatha Christie as Queen of Crime，whose stories are known for their tense environment and strong excitement and anxiety for readers and also have a great influence on the English mysterynovels．Christie was born in September 1890 in England．When she was growing up，her mother often told her stories．Christie loved these stories，which took her into a world of fantasy．Christie's mother also encouraged her to write from a young age and also took her to travel a lot．She married Archie Christie in 1914 at the beginning of World War I．During the war，Christie wrote her first detective story：The Mysterious Affair at Styles．She chose the crime，and then invented a detective named Hercule Poirot，taking a position second to Sherlock Holmes，to solve it．She sent the book to a publisher，but it was refused．After the war ended，Christie sent her book to more publishers，and finally，in 1920，one published it．She made just $25 for it．Over the next few years，Christie wrote more books and short stories，gaining experience as a writer．In spite of （尽管）her literary success，life was not going well at home．In 1928，Archie and Agatha separated．A short time

Ⅳ. 阅读理解A13、A wild baby bison (野牛) at Yellowstone National Park had to be killed because of tourists.The tourists thought that the baby bison looked cold. They put it in their car and drove to a park ranger (管理员) station.A ranger describ ed the action of the tourists as a “dangerous move” because adult bisons can look after their babies very well and they will attack (攻击) to protect their young.Park rangers took the animal from the car and set it free. But, sadly, the baby was refused by its family because it had the smell from humans.Yellowstone National Park explained on Facebook that the smell from people can cause parent animals to refuse to accept their young. The park tried again and again to make the baby bison lives with its parents. After several times they had to give up.Many people expressed anger at both the tourists and the park.The park said that they did not have the ability to care for a young bison. They also said that it is “not the task of the pa rk to save animals”.The tourists were fined (罚款) $110 for touching park wildlife. Park rules say that visitors to Yellowstone should stay at least 22 meters away from all wildlife, and at least 90 meters away from bears and wolves.One ranger said that Yellowstone recently added many safety signs that say staying near the wildlife there is dangerous to humans and animals as well. Those signs are written in English and other languages.1．The tourists took the baby bison to a park ranger station because they thought it looked ______.A．sad B．hungry C．happy D．cold2．The park ranger described the action of the tourists as a “dangerous move” because _______.A．the tourists drove in a wrong wayB．adult bisons would attack the touristsC．adult bisons couldn’t look after their baby wel lD．the tourists would make the baby bison sick3．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A．The park refused to send the baby bison back.B．The visitors saved the baby bison.C．Many people are angry at the bison family.D．The smell from humans may bring trouble to bisons.4．From the passage, we can learn that _________.A．we must keep away from any wild animalB．we should care about wild animals in a right wayC．we’ll be fined if we save a bison in the parkD．we’d better write safety signs in many languagesB14、You need some bread and milk. But half an hour later, you leave the supermarket with a trolley(手推车) full of food. What games do supermarkets play to make us spend so much money?The tricks usually start before you walk in. Outside the supermarket entrance, anybody who walks past can smell warm, fresh bread. That makes us hungry and ready to buy lots of food, not just bread.Now you’re inside and, of course, a small basket would be fine, but all they have are trolleys. And of course th e problem with a trolley is that it looks sad and lonely with just one or two products inside. So we may fill it with something. In fact, supermarket trolleys are actually getting bigger so that we buy more.Of course, many people shop in supermarkets because they think everything is cheaper than in other shops. So supermarkets offer very cheap prices on some things but then have higher prices for other products. One new trick is to put red stickers on products. Customers usually connect red stickers with lower prices so the red stickers is easy to be noticed, even when there is no reduction! Interestingly, this trick appears to work more with men than with women.There is a story behind the position of everything in the supermarket. For example, customers often go only to buy milk. So they put it right at the back, forcing you to go past hundreds of shelves full of other products. The position of products on each shelf is also important. The most expensive products are usually at eye-level so you see these immediately. The exception is anything that children might like. These products are on lower shelves so that kids see them.Apart from what you see and smell in a supermarket, what about what you listen to? In most supermarkets they have soft, slow music. I t’s so relaxing that you slow down and spend more time (and money) in the store. You also move more slowly when the supermarket is busy. Experts suggest it’s better to shop when it’s quieter, on a Monday or a Tuesday for example. And be careful with queues at the checkouts. These are sometimes deliberate(故意), to make you buy something from the checkout shelves while you wait.So, next time you go into your local supermarket, remember these tricks and see if you can come with just the things you went for.1．Supermarkets don’t prov ide baskets because ______.A．supermarkets don’t usually have manyB．baskets are too small to hold many productsC．it’s easy to go shopping with trolleysD．a trolley can hold one or two products inside2．According to the passage, supermarkets put red stickers on products to ______.A．make them look more beautifulB．make them different from cheaper onesC．make people think the stickers are for menD．make people think they could save money3．According to the passage, toys for children are usually placed ______.A．on higher shelves B．on each shelf C．on lower shelves D．on the back shelves4．It can be learned from Paragraph 6 that supermarkets usually ______.A．stop people lining up at the checkouts B．close on Monday morningC．play loud and noisy music inside D．make customers feel relaxed5．The passage is mainly about _____.A．several ways supermarkets use to sell more productsB．some advice when people go shopping on the streetC．several rules that every business should followD．some advertisements that make people buy moreC15、When you are about to do something brave, a cheerful wish of “Good luck!” from a friend can be helpful. But if you think you need lots of luck, what else might you do?In the UK and US there are some strange traditions for bringing yourself a little more good luck. Some are hundreds of years old and some are much newer.Have you heard the saying “When you wish upon a star”? If you are looking up at the sky on a clear night and you see a sudden flash of light, it is probably a shooting star! Seeing one doesn’t happen very often. The saying goes that if you see one you have been very lucky, and so ifyou make a wish, it will come true.Maybe you have heard of the lucky rabbit’s foot. Some people believe that rabbits are lucky ani mals, so they carry a part of the rabbit, its foot, for good luck. There are all kinds of strange, unclear rules about which of the rabbit’s feet is the luckie st. It is said that this good luck tradition is the oldest one of all. However, as the funny sayi ng goes, “Depend on the rabbit’s foot if you will, but remember it didn’t work for the rabbit!”People in Britain love trees. If it is autumn and leaves are falling from the trees, some people try to catch the leaves as they fall because they think each leaf they catch will bringthema lucky month in the following year—they will need to catch 12 falling leaves to have a whole of good luck.1．Which thing is mentioned in the oldest good luck tradition?A．A falling leafB．A rabbit’s footC．A shooting starD．A cheerful wish from friends2．According to Paragraph 3, we know that ______.A．people can see a shooting star on a rainy night.B．shooting stars can often be seenC．people believe that it’s unlucky to see a shooting star.D．your wish may come true if you see a shooting star.3．British people try to catch 12 falling leaves because ______.A．the leaves fall in autumn.B．there are so many leaves to catch.C．they want to have a whole year of good luck.D．the leaves can bring them a lucky month.4．In Paragraph 5, the underlined word “them” refers to（指）______.A．leaves B．people C．trees D．years5．The passage is mainly about ______.A．how to wish upon a starB．things that bring good luckC．British people love leavesD．which of the rabbit’s feet is the luckies tD16、We often praise the world of science. It explains the world and makes our lives easier with technology. One of the most exciting fields in science is artificial intelligence (人工智能，AI). This is an area where scientists are working on creating machines that think like humans.However，one of the most famous scientists has a very dark warning for us about this type of technology.“The development of full artificial intelligence could lead to the end of the human race,” said Professor Stephen Hawking to the BBC．Hawking is a well-known British Physicist and writer of bestselling science book A Brief History of Time. This warning came from a serious disease called ALS; he needs an AI computer to communicate. The computer learns how Hawking thinks andsuggests the words he may want to use next.This is a basic type of AI, which is very useful, yet Hawking fears the possibility of creating technology that can match or go beyond human intelligence. And it’s easy to imagine how terrible things may be. Many TV shows and films display big, killer machines that are far cleverer than us. “Humans, who are limited by slow biological evolution(进化), couldn’t compete, ” said Hawking.But not every scientist is pessimistic(悲观的)about AI technology. “I believe we will remain in cha rge of（掌控) the technology. “ The potential(潜力)of it to solve many of the world problems will be realized.” In what direction do you think AI is going? Should we be hopeful or fearful?1．（小题1）Which of the following is TRUE about AI？A．The technology is not very popular now.B．Scientists haven’t controlled the technology.C．It is now much smarter than humans.D．It makes our lives easier.2．（小题2）The writer took Hawking as an example to ____________.A．explain how AI has helped usB．show the great hidden use of AIC．show AI has already become part of our lifeD．suggest that AI become dangerous for humans3．（小题3）What would be the best title for this passage?A．AI: a friend or an enemy?B．The development of AIC．The future of human beingsD．The fight between humans and AIE17、Do you know how a young dog or cat gets to know a new home? The animal uses its nose. Right away it smells its new places. Then it makes wider and wider circles, smelling all the time. Before long it can find its way home very well, even in the dark. It simply follows something it knows well.Stories happen about animals who found their way across land they had never smelled before. Take the case of Smoky, a small white cat. Smoky had some funny red hair around its right ear. One day Smoky and his owner began a long journey. They were moving from Oklahoma to Tennessee. When they were just eighteen miles from their Oklahoma home, Smoky jumped out of the car. Then he found his way back to the old house. There he wandered around outside for many days. Finally hedisappeared.A year later Smoky meowed at the door of a house in Tennessee. A man opened the door. “Is that you, Smoky?” he said in surprise. At first he couldn’t believe it. Then he saw the red hair around its right ear. It was Smoky!1．What is the first thing a pet does in a new place?A．It smells the new place. B．It finds its way in the darkC．It follows something it knows.2．Put these events in the right order that they happened.①Smoky got to Tennessee. ②Smoky jumped out of the car. ③Smoky went to his old house.A．③①②B．②③①C．①③②3．The underlined word “wandered” in the passage means _________.A．思考B．围绕C．游荡4．How long did Smoky take to get to the house in Tennessee?A．A year. B．A month. C．A week.5．What is the best title of the passage?A．An Excellent Memory B．A Surprising Journey C．A Humorous CatF18、Two policemen stopped Andrew Kershaw in his sports car one night, because he was speeding in the street of the town.

In order to get home as soon as possible, I hired a taxi. The car was 1 along the road, now well-lit, now sank in darkness. I broke the 2 on purpose, for fear that the driver might be too 3 to drive., “When do you go back home in the evening?”“9 o’clock. I’ll go after this trip.”“Then when do you come out in the morning?” I 4 another question, “9 o’clock, too. And I go home for lunch and dinner, just as if I worked at an office.” His easiness surprised me, because every time I ride in a taxi, what I hear from the 5 is only complaints. They complain that they have to work from morning till night, that it is6 to earn money, that they are bullied (欺侮) by the policeman, or that the company leaders are seated7 and enjoy the8 of others’ work. It seems that they have a grievance (不满意) against everything. But this driver told me, “I find it9 to be a section leader as I was before. I don’t like management work. I like driving, just for 10 . It’s lucky that I seldom drive without a passenger. So I can earn two or three thousand yuan a month with e ase. Any secret? Yes, I never follow an empty taxi. If it goes 11 , I go northward. If it goes along the highway, I turn into a (an) 12 street. In this way I always get customers.”His words showed his satisfaction with his life and the pride he 13 in his job. Such feelings are so rare among people nowadays as oxygen in high mountains. As an ancient saying 14 “Neither joy in material gains nor grieve over personal setbacks (挫折).” How many people nowadays can show high ideals by simple living and go far with a 15 mind? I couldn’t help feeling curious when I found such a state of mind in a stranger on a c old winter night.1．A．driving B．flying C．starting D．stopping2．A．calmness B．quietness C．stillness D．silence3．A．tired B．hungry C．lonely D．excited4．A．rose B．raised C．thought D．lifted5．A．taxi B．radio C．passenger D．driver6．A．hard B．easy C．possible D．impossible7．A．freely B．busily C．comfortably D．lazily8．A．results B．achievements C．gains D．fruits9．A．interesting B．tiring C．fancinating D．exciting10．A．pleasure B．money C．work D．interest11．A．southward B．northward C．eastward D．westward12．A．wide B．small C．lonely D．empty13．A．had B．made C．kept D．took14．A．says B．suggests C．goes D．talks15．A．clever B．calm C．creative D．greatⅢ. 语法填空12、Which do you prefer to use when you are studying, iPads 1．books?

Sadly, the young man was not so clever, and his teacher and the other apprentices were always telling him he had no talent for making puppets, and that he would achieve nothing in making puppets.Even so, he enjoyed it so much that he worked day after day to improve. Despite his efforts, they would always find something wrong with his puppets, and the poor puppets ended up being thrown out of the workshop.The young man wasn’t going to give up, so he decided that fr om then on he would spend all his time making just one kind of puppet. Whenever he found a fault in his puppet he would throw it away and start again. Years passed, and with each new attempt his puppet became a little bit better. By that time, his puppet was much better than anything that the other apprentices could make, but he kept making improvements. Living like that, the man wasn’t making any money, and many people laughed at how poor he was.By the time he was an old man, his puppet was truly wonderful. Finally, after so many years of work, he finished work on his puppet, and said, “I can’t find anything wrong with it. This time it is perfect”. And for the first time in all those years, instead of throwing his puppet away, he put it up on the shelf, feeling truly satisfied and happy.It is well-known that perfect puppet, Pinocchio, came to life after that, had a thousand adventures, and gave that old man — whose name was Geppetto — more joy than any other famous puppet-maker had ever got from any of their creations.1．Why did the young man want to learn to make puppets according to Paragraph One?A．Because he liked it.B．Because everyone thought he was talented.C．Because his teacher told him to do so.D．Because he was not clever, he had to make a living2．What was the ending of the poor puppets made by the young man?A．They were kept by the young man.B．They were thrown by the young man.C．They were shared by others.D．They were collected by his teacher.3．What can we learn about Geppetto from the third paragraph?A．He was laughed at by the others.B．He could only make one kind of puppet.C．He had collected all the puppets he made.D．He made a lot of money by selling puppets.4．When the puppet, Pinocchio, was made, ________.① Geppetto was already an old man② Geppetto was satisfied with it③ Geppetto was much happier④ Geppetto planned to throw it awayA．①②③B．①②④C．①③④D．②③④5．What is the main idea of this passage?A．Many hands make light work.B．No one can do two things at once.C．A good beginning makes a good ending.D．Nothing is impossible to a willing heart.B14、You are visiting the Big Ben in England, but the next second you are in France. Then, suddenly you may see some animals that have disappeared. But you are not in a wonderland. This is what might happen to you in the near future, with the help of VR (虚拟现实) technology.VR is a computer technology that creates an environment and allows users to see and even interact (互动) with it.Just wear a pair of VR goggles (护目镜) connected to your computer and you can experience a lot of things without stepping out of your room.“The most attractive part of VR is that it offers an immersive experience. You become a part of the story. That's why VR movies are popular among users.” said Wang Bing, leader of the Chine se entertainment company Funshow.According to the Report on Chinese VR Users' Behavior announced last month, over 960, 000 people in China have bought VR products and 83.2% of them have watched VR movies.The use of VR is not only used in entertainment. VR can help to train pilots (飞行员) and workers before they have to actually risk their lives in highly dangerous working environments. VR also helps to treat patients with acrophobia (恐高症) by making them think they are standing on top of a tall building.__________.

Our own planet，Earth，is becoming more and more crowded and polluted. Well，what problems will we need to solve before we prepare to go to Mars?First of all，transport should be much better. At present，humans need to spend months going to Mars by spaceship. However，by 2100，spaceship can travel at half the speed of light. It might take us two or three days to get there! Secondly，humans need food，water and air to live. Scientists should develop plants that can be grown on Mars. These plants will produce the food，water and air that we need. However，there is no answer for all the problems now. There is also a problem for us to live on Mars. Mars attracts us much less than the Earth does. This will be dangerous because we could easily jump too high and fly slowly away into space there. We will have to wear special shoes to make ourselves heavier.In some ways，life on Mars may not be better than that on the earth today. Food will not be the same — meals will probably be in the form of pills and will not be as delicious as they are today. Also，space travel will probably make many people feel very uncomfortable.1．According to the passage，by the year 2100，we will possibly live_____.A．on Mars B．on the moonC．in the spaceship D．in the sea2．So far，how long does it take us from the earth to Mars by spaceship?A．Two or three days. B．A few days.C．A few months. D．A few years.3．According to the passage，which of the following is wrong?A．A special plant which can produce water，air and food should be needed on Mars.B．We may go to Mars when transport is much better and faster.C．We can jump higher on Mars than on the earth.D．Food on Mars will be much better to eat.4．We will have to wear special shoes to _____ if we want to live on Mars.A．make ourselves lighter B．walk fasterC．make ourselves heavier D．jump higher5．Why do we want to live on Mars?A．Life on Mars is more interesting than that on the earth.B．The earth is becoming dirty and crowded.C．The journey to Mars is very interesting.D．The scientists want us to do that.E17、阅读下列短文，根据短文内容，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选择最佳选项。

Some officials suggested that school hours for children aged 7 to 12 should be reduced, and that they should be1．to spend at least an hour a day on team sports.All work and no play makes children depressed. Becky, an 8-year-old girl, used to be happy when she finished classes every day, but now, life has become unhappy. To make sure she has enough time for the lessons, she has to study until 11 at night to finish her homework.Some ideas are offered for helping cultivate(培养) kids’ talents. The ideas2．cutting down classroom hours, introducing more team sports for children, getting parents to stop putting too much pressure on children and some other suggestions.

Parents should know what their children like and what they want.”Ⅳ. 阅读理解A13、Healthy eating doesn’t just mean what you eat, but how you eat. Here is some advic e on healthy eating.Eat with others. It can help you to see others’ healthy eating habits. If you usually eat with your parents, you will find that the food you eat is more delicious.Listen to your body. Ask yourself if you are really hungry. Have a glass of water to see if you are thirsty—sometimes you are just thirsty, you need no food. Stop eating before you feel full.Eat breakfast. Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. After you don’t eat for the past ten hours, your body needs food to get you going. You will be smarter after eating breakfast.Eat healthy snacks like fruits, yogurt or cheese. We all need snacks sometimes. In fact, it’s a good idea to eat two healthy snacks between your three meals This doesn’t mean that you can eat a bag of chips instead of a meal.Don’t eat dinner late. With our busy life, we always put off eating dinner until the last minute. Try to eat dinner at least 3 hours before you go to bed. This will give your body a chance to digest most of the food before you rest for the next 8—10 hours.1．The writer gives us pieces of advice on healthy eating.A．4 B．5 C．62．Which snack is Not mentioned in the passage?A．Fruits B．Yogurt C．Ice cream3．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A．Snacks are bad for our health.B．We should keep eating until we are full.C．We should have dinner at least 3 hours before going to bed.4．The underlined(画线) word “digest” means “” in Chinese.A．消化B．享用C．储存5．The passage mainly tells us .A．where to eat B．how to eat C．why to eatB14、I remember the exact moment I learned the principle(原则) of preparing for luck.I was on the wrestling(摔跤) team, Now, if there’s one thing I can tell you about any sport, it is that wresting is probably the sport that has the least luck. There are only two people out on the mat(垫子), so you cannot blame(指责) it on your teammates or your coach(教练). And guess what? There is no weather because we do the whole thing indoors, so you can’t say, “It was raining” or“It was snowing.” So we should say wrestling is the sport with the least luck.On our team there were two world champions; one of them had been a world champion five times. We also had five people who were national champions. One of them was a guy by the name of John.John had never been beaten in any high school wrestling competition that I could remember, as he was a national champion. There was nobody local who could touch him.One day, we went for a match with our biggest opponent（对手）. John went out on the mat, and about a minute and 30 seconds into the match he tried to make a special move. He rolled over, and his opponent caught him halfway through his roll. He was pinned(压住)! The match was over.I remember on the way home, one of our teammates tried to comfort John by saying, “Oh, he just got lucky.” And John said, “That’s so silly. The opportunity presented itself, and he just took advantage it.”We used to have this big sign in our wrestling room that the coach had put there. “Luck is what happens w hen opportunity meets preparation.”John’s opponent was prepared to make use of this opportunity. The possibility of beating John was not strong and he knew it. But he waited for the right opportunity, and he defeated and pinned a national champion.In oth er words, the real message is “Be prepared!” It’s not just finding the opportunity, you have to be prepared to take it.1．The author thinks that if you want to win in the wrestling, ________A．you must have the best luckB．you must prepare for it wellC．you should know your opponentD．you must become a national champion2．The phrase “on the wrestling team” can be replaced by “________”A．a leader of the wrestling teamB．a person working for the wrestling teamC．a member of the wrestling teamD．the coach of the wrestling team3．Why did one of the author’s teammates comfort John?A．Because John was beaten easilyB．Because John’s opponent was much stronger than himC．Because John looked very unhappy after the matchD．Because failure is the mother of success4．From this passage, we can infer that ________A．John’s opponent had more luck than himB．wrestling is an outdoor sportC．wrestling is the sport with the most luckD．John didn’t prepare so well as his opponent5．What’s the best title for this passage?A．A Wrestling Match B．Catch the OpportunityC．To be Lucky, be Prepared D．A Sport with the Least LuckC15、1．You can ________ in the African village.A．watch an old dance B．enjoy the village lifeC．find sea animals D．try the future life2．People in the old village live a ______ life.A．rich B．poor C．happy D．simple3．If Tomwants to know the life in the future, he can go to ________.A．The Future Tower B．The Wonder LandC．The Old Village D．The Underwater WorldD16、Like many people, I have no clear idea about heroes. At some point, we all wonder if we need a hero and what a hero really is.Although there are a lot of differences in cultures, heroes around the world generally share a number of characteristics (特点) which give us courage and make us want to learn from them.A hero does something worth talking about. A hero has a special story to tell and people think highly of it. But a hero isnot just the person with great fame (声誉) .A hero has powers (力量) larger than himself. Some people want to live like a hero, and they have to experience life with new and further meaning. A sure test for would-be heroes is what or whom they serve. What do they want to live and die for? If the answer suggests they serve only their own fame, they may be famous persons but not heroes.A hero has a vision from the mountaintop. He has the power to move people. He creates new possibilities. Without Gandhi, India might still be part of Britain. Without Martin Luther King, Jr., Americans might take different buses, eat in different restaurants, go for walks in different parks, and shop in different stores because of the different colors of their skin.There might be changes in society without a hero, but the speed of change would be rather slow. Thanks to heroes in history, they make the society develop so rapidly.1．According to this passage, a hero is a person who always .A．gives us courage B．thinks highly of othersC．shares great fame D．stands on the mountaintop2．If you want to live like a hero, you should .A．experience a new and meaningful life B．listen to something worth talking aboutC．serve your own fame and try to be famous D．know where and how you want to live3．The underlined wo rd “vision” in the passage means “”.A．风景B．想象C．远见D．形象4．Black people in America used to before Martin Luther King, Jr.A．shop at the white’s stores B．take buses with the whiteC．take walks in the white’s parks D．eat in restaurants without the white5．What can we learn from the passage?A．We don’t need heroes anymore at some point now.B．Heroes are all the same though different in cultures.C．People get power from heroes to move to a new place.D．Our society has developed faster because of heroes in history.E17、A nice day out for the whole family!

After searching for hours, she returned with only three in her hand. “You see,” said the old man, “it’s easy to drop them, but it’s impossible to get them back. So it is with gossip.

Quite simply because no one tells us how to fail sothat failure (失败) becomes an experience that means growth. We forget that failure is part of the human condition and that every person has the right to fail.Most parents work hard at preventing failure or protecting their children from the knowledge that they have failed. One way is to lower standards(标准). When a child finishes making a table, the mother describes it as “perfect” even though it doesn’t stand still. Another way is to blame (责怪) others. If John fails in science, his teacher is unfair or stupid. There’s a problem with the two ways. It makes a child unprepared for life in the real world. The young need to learn that no one can be best at everything, no one can win all the time, and that it’s possible to enjoy a game even when you don’t win. A child who’s not invited to a birthday party, who doesn’t make the honour list on the baseball team, feels terrible, of course. But parents should not offer a quick consolations (安慰), prize or say, “It doesn’t matter.” Because it does. The young should be allowed to experience failure and be helped to come out of it.Failure never gives people pleasure. It hurts both grown-ups and children. But it can bereall y good to your life when you learn to use it. You must learn to ask “Why did I fail?” Don’t blame anyone else. Ask yourself what you did wrong and how you can improve. If someone else can help, don’t be shy about asking them.34．How do most parents prevent their children from failure?A．They give them some presents.B．They don’t tell them that they have failed.C．They don’t blame others.D．They help them to come out of failure.35．Which of the following can a person learn when he fails?A．It’s impossible to enjoy a game if he misses it.B．He is the worst of all.C．It’s natural not to win a game and no one can win all the time.D．His teammates are not good enough.36．The writer of this article thinks that if a child fails, parents should __________________. A．give him a small prizeB．advise him to repeat failureC．blame othersD．encourage him to learn from failure37．4. Which would be the best title (标题) for the passage?A．Learning from FailureB．Ways of Preventing FailureC．Reasons of FailureD．Getting Pleasure from Failure四、根据句意填空(A) 根据句意，在答题卡标有题号的横线上，写出括号内所给单词的适当形式。

In fact, close to 50 percent of people are shy. Almost 80 percent of people feel shy at some point in t heir lives. These days, shyness is becoming more and more common. Now, scientists are trying to understand shyness. They have some interesting ideas about why people are shy.Is it possible to be born shy? Many scientists say yes. They say 15 to 20 percent of babies behave shyly. These babies are a little q uieter and more watchful than other babies. Interestingly, these shy babies usually have shy parents. As a result, scientists think that some shyness is genetic.Family size might cause people to be shy as well. Scientists at Harvard University studied shy children. They found that 66 percent of them had older brothers and sisters. As a result, they became shy. At the same time, children with no brothers and sisters may be shy as well. Growing up alone, they often play by themselves. They are not able to learn the same social skills as children from big families.You may also be shy because of where you were born. When scientists studied s hyness in different countries, they found surprising differences. In Japan, most people said they were shy. But in Israel, only one of three people said so. What explains the difference? One scientist says the Japanese and Israelis have different opinions（看法） of failure （失败）. In Japan, when people do not succeed, they feel bad about themselves. They blame （责备）themselves for their failure. In Israel, the opposite is true. Israelis often blame failure on outside reasons, such as family, teachers, friends, or bad luck. In Israel, freedo m of opinion and risk taking are strongly supported. This may be why Israelis worry less about failure and are less shy.For shy people, it can be difficult to make friends, speak in class, and even get a good job. But scientists say you can get over your shyness. They suggest trying new things and practicing conversation. And don’t forget---if you are shy, you are not the only one.31. What does the underlined word “genetic” in paragraph 2 probably mean?A. Passed down from parents.B. Learned from friends.C. Taught by teachers.D. Made up by brothers.32 We can learn from the passage that _______ may cause shyness.A. genetics, grown--ups and birthplaceB. genetics, family size and birthplaceC. family size, grown--ups and failureD. genetics, family size and freedom33.Which of the following shows the structure（结构）of the passage? (P=Paragraph)DA teacher in New York decided to honor（纪念） each of her students in high school by telling them the difference they each made. First she told them how the student made a difference to her and the class. Then she presented each of them with a blue ribbon(带子) with gold letters which read, “Who I Am Makes a Difference.”Afterwards the teacher told the students to do a class project to see what kind of effect would have on a community. She gave each of the students three more ribbons and showed them to go out and do as she did.One of the boys in the class went to a junior manager and honored him for helping him with his career planning. He gave him a blue ribbon and put it on his shirt. Then he gave him two extra ribbons, and told him what it was all about.Later that day the junior manager went in to see his boss, who had been said as being a bad-tempered (坏脾气)man. He sat his boss down and told him that he deeply admired him for being a creative person. The boss seemed very surprised. The junior manager asked him if he would accept the gift of the blue ribbon and allow him to put it on him. His surprised boss said, “Well, sure.” Then he gave him the last extra ribbon, and repeated what the boy had told him.That night the boss came home to his 14-year-old son and sat him down. He said, “I was in my office when one of the junior managers came in and told me he admired me and gave me a blue ribbon for being a creative person. Then he put this blue ribbon that says ‘Who I Am Makes A Difference’ on my jacket. He gave me an extra ribbon and asked me to find somebody else to honor. I started thinking about whom I would honor with this ribbon and I thought about you. I just let you know that you do make a difference to me. You’re a great kid and I love you!”The surprised boy couldn’t stop crying. He looked up at his father and said through his tears, “I was planning on killing myself tomorrow, Dad, because I didn’t think you loved me. Now I don’t need to.”34. What does the blue ribbon in the passage indicate(表明)?A. To love and be loved.B. To respect peopleC. To be accepted by others.D. To thank people for what they have done for others35. Why was the boss surprised at what the junior manager said and did?A. Because the boss was usually bad-tempered.B. Because the junior manager was not afraid of his bad temper.C. Because he didn’t expect his juniors to thank him.D. Because it was strange for him to wear such a blue ribbon.36. The change in the boss implies(暗示) that ____________.A. Being a good person is better than being a bad one.B. blue ribbons are a good sign of understanding between peopleC. he would never be bad-mannered to his workersD. everybody can make a difference to the world37. Which of the following can be the best title of the passage?A. Who You Are Makes a DifferenceB. Blue Ribbon, a Sign of LoveC. Bad Temper Can Be ChangedD. Love Can Prevent Killing oneself第II卷（主观题，共40分）四、词汇运用（本大题共8分，每小题1分）(A) 根据句意和汉语注释，在答题卡标有题号的横线上，写出单词的正确形式。
