Growing up, I idealised independence. I always wanted my own efforts to be enough. When I decided to pursue a postgraduate degree, I wanted to develop a novel research programme and quickly establish myself as an independent scientist. But I was unrealistically optimistic about what I could achieve.
As I began designing experiments, my committee members warned me about the challenges I would face. But my need for independence drove me to push forward with my research plan. As a result, the first four years of my postgraduate career were defined by a series of failures.
During my second year, I failed my comprehensive exam because my proposal was unclear. During my third year, I discovered that after treating thousands of seeds, I obtained just one plant I could use for experiments. By my fourth year, my desperation to succeed overshadowed my desire for independence.
My adviser and I devised (想出) a somewhat unusual solution: I would spend three months in a collaborating (合作的) lab to obtain specialised training. I worked extensively with other students, constantly asked questions, and helped with ongoing projects to learn everything I could. Finally, I conducted an elegant experiment that would not have been possible without the help of the members in the lab.
My adviser saw this experience as a groundbreaking success, emphasising the collaborating skills I acquired. A few months later, when I repeated the experiment in my home lab, I produced more publishable data. By learning when to ask for help, I eventually found myself on the way to becoming an independent scientist.
1.In the beginning, what drove the author to push forward with the research plan?
2.What was the solution by the adviser and the author after those repeated failures?
3.Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why.
> The adviser considered the author’s experience in the lab a groundbreaking success because publishable data had been produced.
4.From this story, what can you learn about “independence”? (In about 40 words)

When I was in my second year in senior high school, I found a 16-dollar-an-hour part-time job at Lakewood Pizza. Like many teens, I longed to earn income as well as add experience for the time to enter the workforce. Just one week after I worked there, David Ross, the manager called me into his office. As the saying goes, “life isn’t always a bed of roses”. My first job ended in failure. His reason was that I showed up late twice and took more breaks than others.
“Oh, I’m a loser.” I thought to myself. I believed that thought was shared by my brothers, neither of whom had ever been fired, and my mother, though she would never express it in those terms.
“I am too sad to do anything.” I complained to my father.
After listening to my words, he laughed. “It’s not funny; I’m a loser.” I said. “No, you’re not. This is a part of growing up. You will be all right, my son,” he said, patting my shoulder. “Trust me. You are good enough.” I looked into my father’s eyes and I could see he really trusted me. And I believed him.
Since then, “Trust me. You are good enough.” are the only words I have repeated to myself. I have worked hard to be a better person and cherished (珍惜) every moment I have got. Finally, I succeeded in entering a good university. After graduation I found my dream job.
5.How much did the author earn at his part-time job?
6.Why did the author lose his first job?
7.Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why.
After knowing the author’s failure, his father complained and laughed at him.

阅读下面短文,根据题目要求用英文回答问题。
Smartphones have become a big part of people’s lives. When we temporarily can’t find them, it causes a feeling of anxiety or panic. Some psychologists have called it “nomophobia”. Thankfully, I rode through the withdrawal of my smartphone and it was short-lived.
When I got my first smartphone over a decade ago, I loved it. It gave me instant access to my music, a world of information and thousands of photos and videos. But over time, I became increasingly ambivalent about its role in my life. I would repeatedly refresh my email, shop online for stuff I didn’t need and constantly scroll through the latest news. I’d often complain to my husband and to my seven-year-old son, Louis, that I felt trapped by it.
Then, one day last summer, while I was playing with Louis, I was once again distracted by dings and pings. He finally reminded me of my complaints, but rephrased them as a plea: “Mommy, just give it up already!”
I decided to try. Instead of going cold turkey — no cellphone at all — I bought a flip phone. With no touch screen, texting is time-consuming. Once, while trying to catch up on texts with a friend, I finally got frustrated and called her. I realized I hadn’t spoken to her since her big move. It made a difference to hear both the excitement in her voice as she described seeing the northern lights and her sadness in being away from a sick parent.
Nowadays, people may prefer text-based communication over using the phone because they fear that the call will be awkward. But, just as I learned, when we were forced to connect voice to voice, we would find ourselves more bonded to that person.
Wuyou Sui, an expert researching digital health, describes nomophobia as a reliance that’s been placed upon us. “Whenever something is designed to make a choice easier, it’s called a behavioural nudge,” he explains, adding that the more central to our lives the smartphone’s functions are, the more prisoned we become.
Ultimately, though, that sense of dependence is false. As I’ve found, you can do all the things you need to do in other ways. It’s not always convenient, but I know I’m much calmer on a regular basis without my smartphone.
9.What does “nomophobia” refer to?
10.Why did the author decide to give up her smartphone?
11.Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why.
▶According to the author, we will find it awkward to talk with a friend on the phone.
12.Apart from the ways mentioned in the passage, what can you do to avoid “nomophobia”? (In about 40 words)

“Where are you going to college?” “I’m going to my local community college.” My answer seemed to be the magic phrase that would wipe the smile right off many people’s faces. It’s clear that people have a lot of misconceptions (误解) about community colleges.
Many people think community colleges are only for people who couldn’t get into a four-year school. But it is not true. In high school, I always got A’s. But when it came to applying to colleges, I had no idea what I wanted to major in and couldn’t justify spending thousands of dollars at a 4-year school until I knew what I wanted to do. My parents were very supportive of my decision to attend the community college.
Some people will ask, “Since the community college is cheaper, will you get a good education?” I found that nearly all of my professors taught the same courses at 4-year colleges. My professors were knowledgeable and experienced, and I found many of the courses challenging.
Some people think if I attend the community college, I will miss out on the “college experience”. I must admit that this is something I worried about a great deal the summer before college. But I soon learned that the community college, just like any other college, is what you make of it. I strived to make the most of my time at the community college. I also made tons of friends by joining clubs and attending student government meetings.
I took a lot of different courses. I had an amazing professor who suggested I take her journalism class. Never having written for my high school newspapers, I dared not take it, but since she was so enthusiastic, I eventually decided to have a try. That one course was all it took for me to realize that I wanted to become a journalist.
I look forward to graduating this May to pursue a career in broadcast journalism. Community colleges may not be for everyone, but for me it is a life-changing experience that has helped me discover who I am and the person I hope to become.
13.What was the author’s parents’ attitude towards his/her decision about attending the community college?
14.How did the author make friends at community college?
15.Why daren’t the author take the journalism class at first?
16.What do you plan to get from your future college education? (About 30 words)

A Sea Story
About three years ago, something terrible happened to me. That was the day when it took only six hours to break my body and soul. You think I am a very old man—but I am not. It took less than a single day to change my hair from black to white.
One day, my two brothers and I were coming back from the islands where we often risked going and got more fish than others. All at once, the sky was covered with dark clouds and in less than a minute we were in a terrible storm. A hug wave covered our boat and my younger brother fell into the sea. My elder brother put his mouth close to my ear and cried out “Moskoe-strom!” The moment I heard the word I became very frightened. I knew what he meant by that one word well enough.
With the wind and waves, we were going in the direction of the whirlpool. We were hopeless. Nothing could save us. I felt sick, as if I was falling from a mountain top in a dream. We went round and round, nearer and nearer to the horrible edge of the whirlpool, I felt calmer than when we were moving towards it. I began to think how amazing a thing it was to die in such a way, and how wonderful it was to see the power of nature. Suddenly, we went over the edge. I thought my life was over. But moment after moment passed, and I was still safe.
The boat was on the inside of the huge whirlpool and we were going round in circles at great speed, I saw clearly that there were other objects in the whirlpool—trees and barrels. After a while, I became curious about the whirlpool itself. I then made three important observations. The first, the larger the bodies were, the more rapidly they fell; the second, between two objects of equal extent, round objects fell down less rapidly; and the third, between two objects of the same size, objects shaped like a tube fell down more slowly. So I tied myself to a barrel to help me float. I tried to make my brother understand, but he was too frightened and stayed in the heavy boat. Without waiting, I jumped into the sea to try and escape.
Some time after I left the boat, with my brother in it, it was pulled into the bottom of the whirlpool. Soon after that, the whirlpool became less wild. Then the sky was clear, the wind calmer, and the moon was shining. I was still tied to the barrel and the waves soon carried me to an area where the other fishermen were. In the end, a boat picked me up. I was very tired. The fishermen were my old friends, but they were unable to recognize me. (adapted from Lesson 1, 480 words)
17.What were the three observations the storyteller made?
18.Why did the storyteller survive while his elder brother didn’t?
19.Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why.
The other fishermen couldn’t recognize me because my appearance had greatly changed after I struggled and survived a whirlpool.
20.What lessons have you learnt from the story? Give your reasons. (about 40 words)
The Importance of Failure
When the world-famous author J.K. Rowling gave a speech at a Harvard University graduation ceremony, some may have a little surprised by the topic she chose: “The Benefits of Failure”.
Rowling’s first novel was rejected by 12 publishers before it was finally published, yet paradoxically, it was this experience that helped her to succeed: “Failure taught me things about myself that I could have learnt no other way. I discovered that I had a strong will, and more discipline than I had expected.”
The late Apple CEO Steve Jobs experienced failure early in his career, when he was fired form the company he had co-founded. He felt despair and rejection. However, it was, in his view, “the best thing that could have ever happened to me. The heaviness of being successful was replaced by the lightness of being a beginner again, less sure about everything. It freed me to enter one of the most creative periods in my life.”
Even Bill Gates has experienced failure. His first company was called Traf-O-Data, but unfortunately, its product didn’t work. It was a total disaster. But what Gates learnt from this experience helped lay the groundwork for the global success that is now Microsoft. He didn’t make the same mistake twice.
Talented fashion designer Vera Wang has built a global fashion empire, yet life wasn’t always so straightforward. A dedicated ice skater as a young woman, Wang was bitterly disappointed when she did not make the 1968 US Olympic team. She gave up sport and joined Vogue as an assistant editor, but was crushed. After 15 years at the magazine, she was passed over for promotion to editor-in-chief. However, this setback prompted her to set up her own bridal fashion label. The rest is history.
Ang Lee, a worldwide-famous director, wasn’t successful either as a student or as an actor. Twice failing the college entrance examination at home, Lee turned to study drama in the US, but his poor English prevented his form becoming an actor. After being accepted for a directing major, Lee spent six years looking for opportunities to direct a film, but was only asked to look after filming equipment. He then spent most of his time writing plays which were rejected by more than 3- companies within two weeks. During six years with no income, he had to depend on his wife. In the end, whit his wife’s encouragement and his determination, all his efforts finally paid off.
All these individuals share something in common: At tough moments in their lives, they showed grit. But what is “grit” exactly? Put simply, it’s a passion for something and the determination to work hard and to stick with it. It’s very easy to give up when we his setbacks, but people who have grit keep going.
So. how can we become “grittier”? This is where the importance of failure comes in” If we can learn how to manage failure, we’ll learn how to succeed. By working through a series of failures, we’re better prepared for the bigger challenges we’ll face int the adult world: We’ll have the resilience we need to keep going. We’ll have true grit.
21.What did J.K. Rowling learn from her failures?
22.Please paraphrase the underlined sentence.
23.According to the passage, please decide which part of the following statement is false, then underline it and explain why.
The people in the text have in common in that they all had great talent in what they had done.

The Meaning of Struggle
One day, a man found the pupa of a butterfly. Seeing an opening in the pupa, he realised that the butterfly was ready to emerge. So he sat down and watched as the butterfly struggled to force its body through the little hole. However, minutes passed and the butterfly still couldn’t get out. The struggle was too hard for its weak body. The man then kindly enlarged the hole in the pupa so that the butterfly could finally break free. But instead of flying away, it just dragged itself around weakly, then died. The struggle to break out of the pupa was necessary for the butterfly’s survival because it enabled its wings and body to grow strong. Without the struggle, it was too weak to live. In the same way, we need struggle to grow strong and survive. We must go through some difficult things if we really wish to spread our wings and fly.
25.What does a butterfly do to get out of its pupa?
26.Why did the man think he needed to help the butterfly?
27.What happened to the butterfly after the man enlarged the hole in the pupa?
28.What is the lesson behind this story? What else can you learn from it?

I work with Volunteers for Wildlife, a rescue and education organization at Bailey Arboretum in Locust Valley. Trying to help injured, displaced or sick creatures can be heartbreaking; survival is never certain. The effort made in vain is unavoidable in some rescue work. However, when it works, it is simply beautiful.
I got a rescue call from a woman in Muttontown. She had found a young owl (猫头鹰) on the ground. When I arrived, I saw a 2-to 3-week-old owl. It had already been placed in a carrier for safety.
I examined the chick (雏鸟) and it seemed fine. If I could locate the nest, I might have been able to put it back, but no luck. My next work was to construct a nest and anchor it in a tree. The homeowner was very helpful. A wire basket was found. I put some pine branches into the basket to make this nest safe and comfortable. I placed the chick in the nest, and it quickly calmed down.
Now all that was needed were the parents, but they were absent. I gave the homeowner a recording of the hunger screams of owl chicks. These advertise the presence of chicks to adults; they might also encourage our chick to start calling as well. I gave the owner as much information as possible and headed home to see what news the night might bring.
A nervous night to be sure, but sometimes the spirits of nature smile on us all! The homeowner called to say that the parents had responded to the recordings. I drove over and saw the chick in the nest looking healthy and active. And it was accompanied in the nest by the greatest sight of all—LUNCH! The parents had done their duty and would probably continue to do so.
29.Why does the author think that the effort is in vain in some rescue work?
30.What did the author do to make the chick calm down?
31.Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why.
The young owl in the nest looked healthy and active, and the homeowner’s parents prepared some lunch for the chick.

Read and answer the questions based on the passage.
Paris is the city of dreams. If you plan to head to Paris for a study period, then perhaps a little reality check is in order. But my experience was a romantic one.
I paved my path to Paris through an exchange program. On arrival in Paris, I was constantly reminded of the official processes I had to complete — forms to be filled in, meetings to attend, the list seemed endless.
Then the real work began. Once classes were underway, I found myself volunteering to do oral presentations and assignments first, rather than last. This method proved to be very helpful.
Once I had finished class for the week, I had an ever-increasing list of museums to visit, neighborhoods to explore, and cafes to sit in. Read books about Paris. Talk to locals and other foreigners living there. But the one thing that reading a book or talking to someone cannot do is to provide you with the experience of wandering Paris on foot. The people watching, the sounds of the city, the colors as the seasons change, they all add to the ecstasy that I experience in Paris as an exchange student.
After spending five months wandering through the charming neighborhoods, I fell in love with the atmosphere that came out from every open door, and with every spoken word. There is something comforting about walking to the market each Sunday to enjoy the beautiful display of fruits, vegetables and dairy products. There is warmth in saying bonjour to the passers-by.
On my last day in Paris, I confidently said, " Bonjour Monsieur," as I passed the little store down the street. I guess the best part about going on exchange in Paris is falling in love with the city in your own way. And I know mine is unique and special to me, my own little pieces of Paris.
33.What does the underlined word "ecstasy" in Paragraph 4 probably mean?
34.What does the passage mainly tell us??
35.Beyond reading books, which experience would the author treasure most?
36.According to the passage, what left the author the deepest impression?
Getting to the Top
Why do Olympic athletes push themselves to the limits? As one of the Olympic athletes, I miss birthday parties, ruin family holidays and skip nights out, but there is a very good reason for giving up so much. “We’re worried about you,” said my friend from across the table. He was worried that I had no longer become fun to train with and that I was in danger of being left with only a world championship medal and no one to share it with.
I could have become angry or defensive. Don’t they know how hard it is to be at the top in sport? Don’t they know what it takes to get there? However, deep down I knew elements of what he was saying were right. I was always tired and every workout had a mental intensity that seemed too much for most to handle. I was pushing the limits and extremes beyond what most thought were healthy.
These are the fears I face as a professional athlete on a day-to-day basis. Who am I doing this for? How much is too much? Why am I doing this? How can I be so selfish? What are the sacrifices for?
I think of countless birthday parties and nights out I have missed, ruining a family holiday in France because of the endless search for a swimming pool to train in, almost missing my brother’s wedding because I was too busy hiring a car in downtown Johannesburg and driving through the “no-go” areas in order to do a group ride with the local triathletes. The list is endless.
It boils down to this: I was born with an enormous amount of drive and determination. From a small girl, I would stay in at lunch time just to get ahead on class work rather than go out and play; I would get the bus on my own at ten years old and go to swim 100 lengths of the pool while other kids played pool games; I was the only girl in a rugby club of 250 boys. I have always lived my life to extremes. Call it unhealthy if you want, but that is the way I roll, no matter what it is I’m applying myself to.
Being a professional athlete is no different. If you want to be an Olympic champion, it’s all about that little extra thing you have done in your preparation that will set you apart from your competitors.
Can this be overdone? Absolutely. But if your dream is to be the best and reach the winner’s platform, you had better be totally committed to your sport. In the words of the British triathlete Alistair Brownlee, even if it means getting injured, “I’d prefer to have three or four outstanding years of winning stuff than having ten years of being average.”
Doing what we do as athletes sets us apart because we are willing to do that extra little bit that might take us to the top. It is certainly not a balanced way to live and it is certainly not normal but those words are generally not used for anyone who is striving for greatness.

1.考查细节理解。根据第二段“As I began designing experiments, my committee members warned me about the challenges I would face. But my need for independence drove me to push forward with my research plan. (当我开始设计实验时,我的委员会成员警告我,我将面临的挑战。但是我对独立的需求驱使我推进我的研究计划)”可知,一开始,是作者对独立的需求驱使作者推进这个研究计划。故答案为:The need to be recognized as an independent scientist.
2.考查细节理解。根据倒数第二段“My adviser and I devised (想出) a somewhat unusual solution: I would spend three months in a collaborating (合作的) lab to obtain specialised training. (我的导师和我想出了一个有点不同寻常的解决方案:我将在一个合作实验室里待上三个月,接受专门培训)”可知,在反复的失败之后,导师和作者的解决方案是,作者将花三个月的时间在合作实验室接受专门培训。故答案为:The author would spend three months in a collaborating lab to obtain specialised training.
3.考查细节理解。根据最后一段“My adviser saw this experience as a groundbreaking success, emphasising the collaborating skills I acquired. A few months later, when I repeated the experiment in my home lab, I produced more publishable data.(我的导师认为这段经历是一次开创性的成功,强调了我获得的合作技能。几个月后,当我在家里的实验室里重复这个实验时,我得到了更多可发表的数据)”可知,导师认为作者在实验室的经历是一次开创性的成功,这是因为作者通过与他人合作获得了合作技能,而不是因为产生了可发表的数据。故答案:The adviser considered the author’s experience in the lab a groundbreaking success because publishable data had been produced.
It is because the author had acquired the collaborating skills by working with others there so that the adviser considered the author’s experience in the lab a groundbreaking success.

【导语】本文是记叙文。文章主要讲述作者和他的两个兄弟到岛上打渔回来的途中遇到了暴风雨的故事。
17.细节理解题。根据第四段“I then made three important observations. The first, the larger the bodies were, the more rapidly they fell; the second, between two objects of equal extent, round objects fell down less rapidly; and the third, between two objects of the same size, objects shaped like a tube fell down more slowly. (然后我得出了三个重要的观察。首先,物体越大,坠落的速度就越快;第二,在同等程度的两个物体之间,圆形物体下落的速度较慢;第三,在两个相同大小的物体之间,形状像管子的物体下落得更慢。)”可知,作者得出的三个重要的观察是:首先,物体越大,坠落的速度就越快;第二,在同等程度的两个物体之间,圆形物体下落的速度较慢;第三个,在两个相同大小的物体之间,形状像管子的物体下落得更慢。故答案为The first, the larger the bodies were, the more rapidly they fell; the second, between two objects of equal extent, round objects fell down less rapidly; and the third, between two objects of the same size, objects shaped like a tube fell down more slowly.
18.细节理解题。根据第四段“I then made three important observations. The first, the larger the bodies were, the more rapidly they fell; the second, between two objects of equal extent, round objects fell down less rapidly; and the third, between two objects of the same size, objects shaped like a tube fell down more slowly. So I tied myself to a barrel to help me float. I tried to make my brother understand, but he was too frightened and stayed in the heavy boat. Without waiting, I jumped into the sea to try and escape. (然后我得出了三个重要的观察。首先,物体越大,坠落的速度就越快;第二,在同等程度的两个物体之间,圆形物体下落的速度较慢;第三,在两个相同大小的物体之间,形状像管子的物体下落得更慢。所以我把自己绑在一个桶上,帮助自己漂浮。我试着让我哥哥明白,但他太害怕了,留在了那艘沉甸甸的船上。不等,我跳进海里试图逃跑。)”可知,作者找到了逃生的办法,告诉他的哥哥,但是哥哥太害怕而不愿意跟着作者逃生,所以作者活了下来,而哥哥没有。故答案为The storyteller found a way to escape and told his brother, but the brother was too scared and unwilling to follow the author, so the storyteller survived, while the brother did not.
19.推理判断题。根据第一段“That was the day when it took only six hours to break my body and soul. You think I am a very old man—but I am not. It took less than a single day to change my hair from black to white. (那一天,我只用了六个小时就伤透了身体和灵魂。你认为我是一个很老的人,但我不是。我只用了不到一天的时间就把头发从黑色变成了白色。)”可知,作者的朋友认不出他应该是因为他的头发从黑色变成了白色,所以他们只是觉得他是位老人。故答案为The other fishermen couldn’t recognize me because my appearance had greatly changed after I struggled and survived a whirlpool. The other fishermen couldn’t recognize me because my hair changed from black to white after I struggled and survived a whirlpool.
20.开放性试题。根据第四段“The boat was on the inside of the huge whirlpool and we were going round in circles at great speed, I saw clearly that there were other objects in the whirlpool—trees and barrels. After a while, I became curious about the whirlpool itself. I then made three important observations. The first, the larger the bodies were, the more rapidly they fell; the second, between two objects of equal extent, round objects fell down less rapidly; and the third, between two objects of the same size, objects shaped like a tube fell down more slowly. So I tied myself to a barrel to help me float. I tried to make my brother understand, but he was too frightened and stayed in the heavy boat. Without waiting, I jumped into the sea to try and escape. (船在巨大的漩涡里,我们以极快的速度绕着圈子转,我清楚地看到漩涡里还有其他物体——树和桶。过了一会儿,我开始对漩涡本身感到好奇。然后我提出了三个重要的意见。首先,物体越大,坠落的速度就越快;第二,在同等程度的两个物体之间,圆形物体下落的速度较慢;第三,在两个相同大小的物体之间,形状像管子的物体下落得更慢。所以我把自己绑在一个桶上,帮助自己漂浮。我试着让我哥哥明白,但他太害怕了,留在了那艘沉甸甸的船上。不等,我跳进海里试图逃跑。)”可知,从文章中可知,当作者处在危险中的时候,他仍然能保持冷静并且分析当时的情况,果敢的做出合理的总结并行动起来。故答案为From the article, it can be seen that when the author is in danger, he can still remain calm and analyze the situation at that time, boldly make reasonable conclusions and take action to save his own life.

【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章通过几位著名人物的经历,讲述了失败的重要性。
21.考查细节理解。根据第二段“Failure taught me things about myself that I could have learnt no other way. I discovered that I had a strong will, and more discipline than I had expected.(失败教会了我一些我无法通过其他方式学到的关于自己的东西。我发现我有坚强的意志,比我预期的更有自制力)”可知,失败教会了J.K.罗琳一些她无法通过其他方式学到的关于她自己的东西。她发现她有坚强的意志,比她预期的更有自制力。故答案为Failure taught her things about herself that she could have learnt no other way. She discovered that she had a strong will, and more discipline than she had expected.
22.考查词句猜测。第三段划线句子“The heaviness of being successful was replaced by the lightness of being a beginner again, less sure about everything.”的意思是“成功的沉重感被再次成为对一切都不太确定的初学者的轻松感所取代”,结合上文“The late Apple CEO Steve Jobs experienced failure early in his career, when he was fired form the company he had co-founded.(已故苹果公司首席执行官史蒂夫·乔布斯在其职业生涯早期经历了失败,当时他被他共同创立的公司解雇)”可知,乔布斯曾经被共同创立的公司解雇,此句表示史蒂夫·乔布斯觉得成功是他肩上的一个巨大负担,当他被解雇时,压力消失了,他可以自由地开始新的生活,做他想做的事。故答案为Steve Jobs felt that being successful was a huge weight on his shoulders. When he was fired, the pressure disappeared and he was free to start a new life and to do what he wanted.
23.考查细节理解。根据第六段“Ang Lee, a worldwide-famous director, wasn’t successful either as a student or as an actor.

The people in the text have in common in that at tough moments in their lives, they showed grit.
24.开放性题目。答案不唯一,合理即可。失败是通往成功的垫脚石。失败提供了机会,可以用来找出失败的原因,并在未来努力避免它们。你失败得越多,你的经验就越多,你必须做出更好的改变才能在未来取得成功。故答案为Failures are stepping stones that lead to success. People always make mistakes. Failures provide opportunities for use to figure out the reasons for not succeeding, and work towards avoiding them in the future. The more you fail, the more experience you have, and the better changes you have to be successful in the future.

30.考查细节理解。根据第三段“I examined the chick (雏鸟) and it seemed fine. If I could locate the nest, I might have been able to put it back, but no luck.

I placed the chick in the nest, and it quickly calmed down.(我检查了雏鸟,它看起来很好。如果我能找到鸟巢,我也许能把它放回去,但运气不好。我的下一个工作是建造一个巢,并把它固定在一棵树上。房主非常乐于助人。发现了一个铁丝篮子。我在篮子里放了一些松枝,使这个窝既安全又舒适。我把雏鸟放在窝里,它很快就安静下来了)”可知,作者把雏鸟放到鸟窝里,它很快就安静下来了。故回答:The author placed the chick in the nest.或者The author constructed a nest for the chick and put some pine branches into the basket to make this nest safe and comfortable.

The parents had done their duty and would probably continue to do so.(一个紧张的夜晚是肯定的,但有时大自然的精神向我们所有人微笑!房主打电话说,孩子的父母已经对录音做出了回应。我开车过去,看到窝里的小鸡看起来既健康又活跃。在巢里,伴随着它的是最壮观的景象——午餐!父母已经尽了他们的责任,而且很可能会继续这样做)”可知,为小猫头鹰准备午餐的不是房主的父母,而是小猫头鹰的父母。故回答:The young owl in the nest looked healthy and active, and the homeowner’s parents prepared some lunch for the chick.
