I was selling motor-trucks for a living. I didn’t know what made a motor-truck run. That wasn’t all: I didn’t want to know. I despised my job, I despised living in a cheap furnished room on West Fifty-Sixth Street — filled with cockroaches(蟑螂). I still remember that I had a bunch of neckties hanging on the walls and when I reached out for a fresh necktie, the cockroaches scattered in all directions. I despised having to eat in cheap, dirty restaurants that were also probably filled with cockroaches.I came home to my lonely room each night with a sick headache — a headache fed by disappointment,worry and bitterness. Was this life? Was this the adventure to which I had looked forward so eagerly? Was this all life would ever mean to me — working at a job I despised, living with cockroaches, and eating bad food? I longed for leisure to read and to write the books I had dreamed of writing back in my college days.I knew I had everything to gain and nothing to lose by giving up the job I despised.So I made my decision and that decision completely changed my future. My decision was this: I would give up the work I hated and I since I spent four years studying in the State Teachers’ College at Warrensburg, Missiouri, preparing to teach, I would make my living teaching adult classes in night schools. Then I would have my days free to read books, prepare lectures, and write novels and short stories. I wanted “to live to write and write to live”.What subject should I teach to adults at nights? As I looked back at my own college training, I saw that the training and experience I had had in public speaking were of more practical value to me in business ad in life than everything else I had studied in college all put together. Why? Because it had wiped out my lack of confidence and given me the courage to deal with people. It had also made clear that leadership usually favors the man who can get up and say what he thinks.36. The author was unhappy 35 years ago for the following reasons EXCEPT that ______.A. he had terrible living conditions in New York CityB. he failed to get his neckties because of the cockroachesC. he ate in restaurants with serious food safety problemsD. he was not much into selling motor-trucks for a living37. The underlined part in paragraph 3 means that ______.A. the job the author quitted gave him the lowest incomeB. quitting the job the author hated gave him nothingC. giving up the wrong job brought right choices in lifeD. everything was lost when the author gained a new job38. We can learn from the passage that the author ______.A. hated to work and desired for leisureB. changed his lifestyle from selling teachingC. preferred to do a white collar job as a college teacherD. quitted his job and went to college to learn public speaking39. Public speaking was important to the author because ______.A. it taught him to gain self-confidence and courageB. it remained him of his valuable life back in collegeC. it was the only subject he could teach the adultsD. it helped him put together what he learned in college40. What is the best title for the passage?A. A Turning Point in My PointB. Be the Best through Public SpeakingC. Confidence Regained in CollegeD. The Pursuit of HappinessBA. provides an ideal place for families to hold talks in an rainforestB. combines entertainment and interactive experiences with creaturesC. offers unlimited access to premier attractions with a little more chargeD. satisfies the curiosity of children with guided exploration and interactions42. It can be learned from the passage that ______.A. visitors will be admitted to the zoo at their convenienceB. drivers shall get a parking space with a paid entry ticketC. late comers may miss some of the animal exhibitsD. wheelchair users can have access to any buildingCWhen I was 27 years old, I left a very demanding job in management consulting for a job that was even more demanding: teaching. I went to teach seventh graders math in the New York City public schools. And like any teacher, I made quizzes and tests. I gave out homework assignments. When the work came back, I calculated grades.What struck me was that IQ was not the only difference between my best and my worst students. Some of my strongest performers did not have high IQ scores. Some of my smartest kids weren’t doing so well. ___43___. The kinds of things you need to learn in seventh grade math, sure, they are hard: ratios, decimals, the area of a parallelogram. But these are not impossible and I was firmly convinced that every one of my students could learn the material if they worked hard and long enough.After several more years of teaching, I came to the conclusion that what we need in education is a much better understanding of students and learning from a motivational perspective, from a psychological perspective. In education, the one thing we know how to measure best is IQ. But what if doing well in school and in life depends on much more than your ability to learn quickly and easily?___44___. I started studying kids and adults in all kinds of super challenging settings, and in every study my question was, who is successful here and why? My research team and I went to the West Point Military Academy. We tried to predict which cadets(警官学员)would stay in military training and which would drop out. We went to the National Spelling Bee and tried to predict which would advance farthest in competition.___45___. And who’s going to earn the most money? In all those very different contexts, one characteristic emerged as a significant predictor of success. ___46___. It wasn’t good looks, physical health, and it wasn’t IQ. It was grit.Grit is a passion and perseverance for very long-term goals. Grit is having energy. Grit is sticking with your future, day in, day out, not just for the week, not just for the month, but for years, and working really hard to make that future a reality. Grit is living life like it’s a marathon, not a sprint.___47___. I asked thousands of high school juniors to take grit questionnaires, and then waited around more than a year to see who would graduate. It turns out that grittier kids were significantly more likely to graduate, even when I matched them to every characteristic I could measure, things like family income, standardized achievement test scores, even how safe kids felt when they were at school. So it’s not just at West Point or the National Spelling Bee that grit matters. It’s also in school, especially for kids at risk of dropping out.A. A few years ago, I started studying grit in the Chicago public schools.B. We studied new teachers working in really tough neighborhoods, asking who is still going to be here in teaching by the end of the teacher school year.C. And that got me thinking.D. And it wasn’t social intelligence.E. Every day, parents and teachers ask me, “How do I build grit in kids?”F. So I left the classroom, and I went to graduate school to become a psychologist.G. We partnered with private companies, asking which of these salespeople is going to keep their jobs?2019-2020学年南外高一十月月考一、单项选择1-5: BCABC6-10: BACDC11-15: CDCCD二、完形填空16-20: BACDA21-25: CDCAD26-30: CBACD31-35: BBADB 三、阅读理解36-40：BCBAA41-42: BC43-47: CFGDA。
