2．阅读理解
Failure is an unavoidable part of life. Though science has named some life skills that promise success, we're told over and over again that no great success was ever achieved without failure -- or many failed attempts. One of life's most important lessons, therefore, has to be how to handle failure best. But what is the message?
For starters, ignore advice from anyone that tells you, "Don't beat yourself up about it," no matter how well-meaning they are. According to the new research from the University of Kansas, we absolutely should be beating ourselves up when we fail. Marketing professor Noelle Nelson and her team found that the more emotional a person's response is to failure, the more likely they are to achieve better results the next time they deal with a related task.
The researchers carried out two experiments in which undergraduate students were required to perform specific tasks. In one experiment, they were asked to search online for a squeezer and report the lowest price they could find with the possibility of winning a $50 cash prize. However, the task was controlled, and all participants were told (by a computer) that the lowest price was $3.27 less than their reported price. Consequently, no participant won the cash prize. When the results were announced, some participants were asked to focus on their emotional response, and others on their cognitive (认知的) response. During the next similar task, participants who focused on their emotional response to failure made more effort than those who focused on a cognitive response.
Everybody has their own unique challenges, responsibilities, duties, and projects, but these findings are related to all of us. Your personal failure may be a cake that fails to rise, a
presentation that goes wrong, or a deadline that gets missed—it doesn't matter. What matters is how you react to it. Instead of thinking about the failure, let yourself feel bad about it. Then follow this advice on how to bounce back after your failure.
（1）What's the relationship between failure and success?
A.Failure promises success.
B.Failure is the key to success.
C.Failure does damage to success.
D.Well-handled failure is good for success.
（2）Why does the writer support beating oneself up when failing?
A.It's a well-meaning suggestion for failure.
B.It's been proved by the study of a university.
C.Being emotional is good for his future success.
D.It can make people less emotional about failure.
（3）Which can be the best title for the passage?
A.Personal Failure Is a Cake That Fails to Appear
B.The Most Productive Way to Handle Any Failure
C.Different Methods to Change Failure into Success
D.The Reason Why Failure Is the Mother of Success
【答案】（1）D
（2）C
（3）B
【解析】【分析】这是一篇说明文。

文章向读者传达了失败乃是人生不可避免的一部分，但是如何处理失败是很重要的。

每次失败后，我们应该自责，自责能让我们下次做得更好。

（1）推理判断题。

根据第一段中的we're told over and over again that no great success was ever achieved without failure以及“One of life's most important lessons, therefore, has to be how to handle failure best.（人生中很重要的一课是学会如何最好地处理失败）”可知，好好处理的失败对成功是好的。

故选D。

（2）细节理解题。

由第二段中的“we absolutely should be beating ourselves up when we fail （当我们失败的时候我们应该自责）”与“the more emotional a person's response is to failure, the more likely they are to achieve better results the next time they deal with a related task（一个人对失败的情绪越大，下次他遇到相关的任务取得更好的结果的可能越大）”可知，对失败有情绪对将来的成功是很重要的。

故选C。

（3）主旨大意题。

这是一篇说明文，根据文章第一段中的最后一句“One of life's most important lessons, therefore, has to be how to handle failure best.（人生中很重要的一课是学会如何最好地处理失败）”可知，本文是教给大家如何有效地面对失败。

故选B。

【点评】考查阅读理解。

涉及细节理解题，推理判断题和主旨大意题。

细节理解题要注意根据题目和文章的关键词在文章中寻找答案。

推理判断题要注意联系上下文，推断出所需信息，主旨大意题要注意找文章的主题句或主题段落，联系上下文，从而判断出文章的主题。

3．阅读短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

I stopped to watch my little girl busy playing in her room. In one hand was a plastic phone; in the other a toy. I listened as she was speaking to her make-believe little friend and I'll never forget the words she said, even though it was imagined.
She said, "Suzie's in the corner because she's not been very good. She didn't listen to a word I said or do the things she should." In the corner I saw her baby doll well dressed. It was obvious that she'd been put there to sit alone and think.
My daughter continued her "conversation", as I sat down on the floor. She said, "I'm all fed up and I just don't know what to do with her any more. She cries whenever I have to work and wants to play games too. She tries to help me with the dishes, but her arms just cannot reach... And she doesn't know how to fold towels. I don't have the time to teach. I have a lot of work to do and a big house to keep clean. I don't have the time to sit and play - don't you know what I mean?" And that day I thought a lot about making some changes in my life, after listening to her innocent words cut me like a knife. I hadn't been paying enough attention to what I hold most dear. I'd been caught up in responsibilities that increased throughout the years.
But now my attitude has changed because in my heart I realize that I've seen the world in a different light through my little darling's eyes. So let the cobwebs (蜘蛛网) cut the corners and the dust bunny rabbit rule the floor. I'm not going to worry about keeping up with them any more. I'm going to fill the house with memories of a child and her mother, for we have only one childhood and we will never get another.
（1）Who is Suzie?
A. The girl's phone.
B. The girl's friend.
C. The author.
D. A baby doll.（2）How did the author feel when hearing her little girl's words?
A. Interested
B. Uncomfortable
C. Moved
D. Unbelievable
（3）The passage leads us to believe that ________.
A. the little girl doesn't hate her mother any more.
B. the author has become lazy because of her daughter.
C. the author cares nothing about her daughter's happiness.
D. the author wants her little girl to have a happy childhood.
（4）What might be the best title?
A. Only one childhood
B. My lovely daughter
C. How to deal with my daughter
D. A world of children
【答案】（1）D
（2）B
（3）D
（4）A
【解析】【分析】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文，作者通过和女儿相处的一件小事，有感而发，觉得童年只有一个，从而要让女儿过一个快乐的童年。

（1）考查细节理解。

根据第二段中的“Suzie's in the corner because she's not been very good.”以及“I saw her baby doll well dressed. ”Suzie在角落里以及“我”看见她的洋娃娃穿得很好，可推知Suzie是作者女儿的布娃娃。

故选D。

（2）考查推理判断。

根据第三段中的“And that day I thought a lot about making some changes in my life, after listening to her innocent words cut me like a knife.”“我”在听了她那些天真的话语后，就像被一把刀割了一样。

可推知，作者听到女儿的话语觉得“不适”，故选B。

（3）考查推理判断。

根据最后一段中的“I'm going to fill the house with memories of a child and her mother, for we have only one childhood and we will never get another.”可知作者想让她的女儿有一个快乐的童年，故选D。

（4）考查主旨大意。

作者通过和女儿相处的一件小事，有感而发，觉得童年只有一个，从而要让女儿过一个快乐的童年，故选A。

【点评】本题考点涉及细节理解，推理判断和主旨大意三个题型的考查，是一篇人生感悟类阅读，要求考生在捕捉细节信息的基础上，进一步根据上下文的逻辑关系，进行分析，推理，概括和归纳，从而选出正确答案。

4．阅读短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

Did you know that Albert Einstein could not speak until he was four years old, and could not read until he was seven? His parents and teachers worried about his mental ability.
Beethoven's music teacher said about him, "As a composer (作曲家) he is hopeless." What if this young boy had believed it?
When Thomas Edison was a young boy, his teachers said he was so stupid that he could never learn anything. He once said, "I remember I used to never be able to get along at school. I was always at the foot of my class ... My father thought I was stupid, and I almost decided that I was a stupid person." What if young Thomas had believed what they said about him?
When the sculptor (雕刻家) Auguste Rodin was young, he had difficulty learning to read and write. Today, we may say he had a learning disability. His father said of him, "I have an idiot (白痴) for a son." His uncle agreed. "He's uneducable," he said. What if Rodin had doubted his ability?
Walt Disney was once fired by a newspaper editor because he was thought to have no "good ideas". Enrico Caruso was told by one music teacher, "You can't sing. You have no voice at all." And an editor told Louisa May Alcott that she was unable to write anything that would have popular appeal.
What if these people had listened and become discouraged? Where would our world be without the music of Beethoven, the art of Rodin or the ideas of Albert Einstein and Walt Disney? As Oscar Levant once said, "It's not what you are but what you don't become that hurts."
You have great potential. When you believe in all you can be, rather than all you cannot become, you will find your place on earth.

（4）考查主旨大意。

通读全文可知，本文前五段列举了七个名人，他们的共同点是都曾得到别人较低的评价，后来却成功实现了自己的梦想；本文的最后一句为本文的主题句，据此可以判断，C项“相信自己”最适合做本文标题，故选C。

【点评】本题考点涉及细节理解，句义猜测和主旨大意三个题型的考查，是一篇人生感悟类阅读，要求考生在捕捉细节信息的基础上，进一步根据上下文的逻辑关系，进行分析，推理，概括和归纳，从而选出正确答案。

5．阅读理解
Half a Day
I walked alongside my father, holding his right hand. All my clothes were new: the black shoes, the green school uniform, and the red cap. They did not make me happy, however, as this was the day I was to be thrown into school for the first time.
"Why school?" I asked my father. "What have I done?"
"I'm not punishing you," he said, laughing. "School's not a punishment. It's a place that makes useful men out of boys. Don't you want to be useful like your brothers?"
I was not convinced. I did not believe there was really any good to be had in tearing me away from my home and throwing me into the huge, high-walled building.
When we arrived at the gate we could see the courtyard, vast and full of boys and girls. "Go in by you," said my father, "and join them. Put a smile on your face and be a good example to others."
I hesitated and squeezed his hand firmly, but he gently pushed me from him. "Be a man", he said. "Today you truly begin life. You will find me waiting for you when it's time to leave."
I took a few steps. Then the faces of the boys and girls came into view. I did not know a single one of them, and none of them knew me. I felt I was a stranger who had lost his way. But then some boys began to glance at me in curiosity, and one of them came over and asked, "Who brought you?"
"My father," I whispered.
"My father's dead," he said simply.
I did not know what to say. The gate was now closed. Some of the children burst into tears. The bell rang. A lady came along and said, "This is your new home. There are mothers and fathers here, too. Everything that is enjoyable and beneficial is here. So dry your tears and face life joyfully."
Well, it seemed that my misgivings had had no basis. From the first moments I made many friends. I had never imagined school would have this rich variety of experiences.

（1）考查推理判断。

根据第一段中的“They did not make me happy, however, as this was the
day I was to be thrown into schoo l for the first time.”可知穿新衣服并没有让作者开心，因为他要第一次被扔进学校了；再根据第四段中的“I did not believe there was really any good to be had in tearing me away from my home and throwing me into the huge, high-walled building.”可知作者不相信将他从家中撕裂并被扔进这座巨大的高墙建筑（也就是学校）中真的有什么好处。

他一开始就交到了很多朋友。

这说明老师帮助作者在学校的第一天过得很好，他的同学也和他成为了朋友。

故选A。

6．阅读理解
WISH YOU WERE MORE CREATIVE?
I want to ask you a favor. I have a pair of pants. Tell me: How many different ways can I put a pair of pants to use? Now imagine you're an architect. Same question. Now imagine you're Bill Gates. A scuba diver. A medieval knight. You still have the pants. What alternative uses come to mind?
What you just practiced--the conscious act of "wearing" another self-is an exercise that, according to psychiatrist SriniPillay, MD, is essential to being creative.
One great irony (讽刺) about our collective addiction to creativity is that we tend to frame it in uncreative ways. That is to say, most of us marry creativity to our concept of self: Either we're "creative" or we aren't, without much of a middle ground. "I'm just not a creative person!" a discouraged student might say in art class, while another might blame her talent at painting for her difficulties in math, making a comment "I'm very right-brained."
Dr.Pillay, an assistant professor at Harvard University, has spent years overturning these ideas. He believes that the key to unlocking your creative potential is to challenge the stereotyped (陈词滥调的) advice that urges you to "believe in yourself." In fact, you should do the opposite: Believe you are someone else.
He points to a study showing the impact of stereotype on one's behavior. The authors, psychologists Denis Dumas and Kevin Dunbar, divided their college student subjects into two groups, instructing one group to think of themselves as "eccentric poets" and the other to imagine they were "rigid librarians". The researchers then presented them all with ordinary objects, including a fork, a carrot, and a pair of pants, and asked them to come up with as many different uses as possible for each one. The former group came up with the widest range of ideas, whereas the latter had the fewest.
These results suggest that creativity is not an individual characteristic but a "product of context and perspective". Everyone can be creative, as long as he or she feels like a creative person.
Dr. Pillay's work takes this a step further: He argues that simply identifying yourself as creative is less powerful than taking the brave, creative step of imagining you are somebody else. This exercise, which he calls psychological Halloweenism, refers to the conscious action of "wearing" another self. An actor may employ this technique to get into character, but anyone can use it. According to Dr. Pillay, it works because it is an act of conscious unfocus, a collection of brain regions that spring into action when you're not focused on a specific task or thought. Most people spend nearly half of their days in a state of "unfocus." This doesn't make us lazy; it makes us human.
Imagining yourself in a new situation, or an entirely new identity, never felt so productive. You're making yourself more creative, and you're giving yourself permission to do something you'd otherwise feel guilty about.
（1）What's the function of the questions in paragraph 1?
A. To lead in the topic.
B. To make a comparison.
C. To state an opinion.
D. To ask a favor.
（2）The study led by Denis Dumas and Kevin Dunbar proves
A. creativity is an individual characteristic
B. librarians are more creative than poets
C. ordinary objects can improve creativity
D. your creativity is determined by yourself
（3）According to Dr. Pillay, Halloweenism works because .
A. it is an act of unconscious focus
B. certain brain areas begin to act together
C. people are in a state of laziness
D. all actors employ this technique
（4）If you want to be more creative, you are supposed to .
A. focus on a specific task
B. believe in your own talent
C. pretend to be someone else
D. turn to be right-brained
【答案】（1）A
（2）D
（3）B
（4）C
【解析】【分析】本文是一篇议论文，论述了如何让自己更有创造力，给读者展示了一种
心理学理念--心理角色扮演：遇见更有创造力的自己。

（1）考查推理判断。

根据第一段可知作者问读者一条裤子可以有多少种不同的用法?并让读者假设自己是一名建筑师，比尔盖茨，带水肺的潜水员，一个中世纪的骑士等等思考同样的问题；再根据第二段”What you just practiced--the conscious act of "wearing" another self--is an exercise that…is essential to being creative.“可知作者接着说刚才你所练习的--有意识地"穿戴"另一个自我的行为--是一种对保持创造力至关重要的练习。

这说明作者在第一段问这些问题就是为了引出下文中的"创造力"话题，故选A。

（2）考查细节理解。

根据第六段”These results suggest that creativity is not an individual characteristic but a‘product of context and perspective’. Everyone can b e creative, as long as he or she feels like a creative person.“可知Denis Dumas 和Kevin Dunbar的研究结果表明创造力不是个体特征，而是"环境和视角的产物"。

每个人都可以有创造力，只要他或她觉得自己是一个有创造力的人。

也就是说一个人的创造力是取决于自己的。

故选D。

（3）考查推理判断。

根据第七段中的”According to Dr. Pillay, it works because it is an act of conscious unfocus, a collection of brain regions that spring into action when you're not focused on a specific task or thought.“可知据皮莱博士说，心理万圣节之所以有效，是因为它是一种有意识的分散注意力的行为，当你不专注于某一特定任务或思想时，大脑中一系列区域就起作用。

这说明心理万圣节有效是因为大脑的某些区域大脑协同工作，故选B。

（4）考查推理判断。

根据第四段中的”He believes that the key to unlocking your creative potential is to challenge the stereotyped (陈词滥调的) advice that urges you to ‘believe in yourself.’ In fact, you should do the opposite: Believe you are someone else.“可知想象自己处在一个新的环境中，或者是一个全新的身份，你会感到从未有过的高效，你让自己更有创造力。

由此推断所以要变得有创造力的话，要想象自己有一个全新的身份，也就是把自己想象成另外一个人。

故选C。

【点评】本题考点涉及细节理解和推理判断两个题型的考查，是一篇教育类阅读，考生需要准确捕捉细节信息，并根据上下文进行逻辑推理，从而选出正确答案。

7．阅读理解
Why play games? Because they are fun, and a lot more besides. Following the rules, planning your next move and acting as a team member are all " game" ideas that you will come across throughout your life.
Think about some of the games you played as a young child, such as rope-jumping and hide-and-seek. Such games are entertaining and fun. But perhaps more importantly, they translate life into exciting dramas that teach children some of the basic rules they will be expected to follow the rest of their lives, such as taking turns and cooperating .
Many children's games have a practical side. Children around the world play games that prepare them for work they will do as grown-ups. For instance, some Saudi Arabian children play a game called bones, which sharpens the hand-eye coordination (协调) needed in hunting.
Many sports encourage national or local pride. The most famous games of all, the Olympic Games, bring athletes from around the world together to take part in friendly competition. People who watch the event wave flags, knowing that a gold medal is a win for an entire country,
not just the athlete who earned it. For countries experiencing natural disasters or war, an Olympic win can mean so much.
Sports are also an event that unites people. Soccer is the most popular sport in the world. People on all continents play it —some for fun and some for a living. Nicolette Iribarne, a Californian soccer player, has discovered a way to spread hope through soccer. He created a foundation to provide poor children with not only soccer balls but also a promising future.
Next time you play your favorite game or sport, think about why you enjoy it, what skills are needed, and whether these skills will help you in other aspects of your life.
（1）What are children expected to learn Through playing hide-and-seek?
A.Be a team leader
B.Obey the basic rules
C.Act as a grown-up

A.Games can describe life in an exciting way
B.Games can turn real-life experiences into a play
C.Games can make learning life skills more interesting
D.Games can change people's views of sporting events
（3）According to the passage, why is winning Olympic medals so encouraging?
A.It inspires people's deep love for the country.
B.It proves the exceptional skills of the winners.
C.It helps the country out of natural disasters.
D.It earns the winners fame and fortune.
（4）What's Iribarne's goal of forming the foundation ?
A.Bringing fun to poor kids.
B.Providing soccer balls for children.
C.Giving poor kids a chance for a better life.

【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了一些受欢迎的运动项目和游戏。

有些游戏可以帮助孩子们成长，而全球万众瞩目的奥林匹克运动会关系着整个国家的荣誉。

因此，运动还和我们的生活息息相关。

（1）考查细节理解。

根据第二段中的“But perhaps more importantly, they translate life into exciting dramas that teach children some of the basic rules they will be expected to follow the rest of their lives, such as taking turns and cooperating .”但也许更重要的是，他们把生活转化为令人兴奋的戏剧，教孩子们一些他们将在余生中遵循的基本规则，比如轮流和合作，可知，孩子们通过玩捉迷藏的游戏学会一些未来生活中的基本法则。

故选B。

（2）考查词义猜测。

划线部分前面的谓语动词是translate有“翻译，解释，转移，调动”
的意思，该部分后面有一个定语从句“that teach children some of the basic rules they will be expected to follow the rest of their lives, such as taking turns and cooperating .”教孩子们一些他们将在余生中遵循的基本规则，比如轮流和合作。

前后结合就可以理解这部分的意思是：他们把生活变成激动人心的戏剧，由此可知，此处与C项“游戏可以让学习生活技能更有趣”意思相近。

故选C。

（3）考查推理判断。

根据第四段中的“People who watch the event wave flags, knowing that a gold medal is a win for an entire country, not just the athlete who earned it.”观看比赛的人挥舞着旗帜，知道金牌是一个国家的胜利，而不仅仅是赢得金牌的运动员，可推断，赢得奥运奖牌激发了人们对国家深厚的爱。

故选A。

（4）考查推理判断。

根据倒数第二段中的“He created a foundation to provide poor children with not only soccer balls but also a promising future.”他创建了一个基金会，为贫困儿童提供的不仅仅是足球还有一个充满希望的未来。

可知，Iribarne成立基金会的目的是让贫穷的孩子有机会过上更好的生活。

故选C。

In 2019, to which we're to say goodbye, we've seen many blockbusters, which surely leave a deep impression on us. Do you still have a fresh memory of them? Below has picked three for you. Let's take a look.
Spider-Man: Far From Home, July 5, US
Tom Holland, the lead actor of 2017's Spider-Man: Homecoming, returns to play Peter Parker, a high school student who gains superpowers after being bitten by a spider.
When we see him again in theaters Spider-Man will have a new red-and-black suit. The movie will take the famous wall-crawler on a global adventure outside of the US. According to Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige, Spider-Man will try a return to his "normal" self; he will try to find his old powers on his new journey.
Hobbs and Shaw, July 26, US
To most people the Fast and Furious series is all about crazy drivers racing in sports cars. But in Hobbs and Shaw, humor is added to the action-packed thrills.
The new film will hit US theaters on July 26. Famous English actor Jason Statham will star alongside Dwayne Johnson, "The Rock", as Deckard Shaw and Luke Hobbs respectively (分别地), as in their previous appearances in Fast and Furious films.
When the pair fought face to face in Fast and Furious 8 (2017), a confrontation (对峙) was considered as the "battle model for warriors". The action and chemistry really excited their audience.
But the new action scenes between an MI6 agent Hobbs and the killer Shaw will have to be good to beat their performance in the 2017 movie.
The Lion King, July 19, US。
