Ⅳ.阅读理解
A good way to look at failure straight in the face is by writing a failure resume (简历) or CV.Like social media,there,we usually only see our friends' “highlight part”.When we look at others' resumes,we get scared and think how ours don't measure up.But even the most accomplished people have plenty of failure behind them—we just don't see it.
Stefan felt this deeply as a scientist,so she wrote a different CV which of course boasted (夸耀) about her good grades,PhD,and published papers.But the way she deals with her failure CV is a model of what we could all do.
“My CV does not reflect my great academic efforts—it does not mention the exams I failed,my unsuccessful PhD or scholarship applications,or the papers never accepted for publication.During the interviews,I talk about the one project that worked,not about the many that failed,”writes Stefan in a column for a website.
Stefan suggests keeping a draft on which you log,casually but regularly,every unsuccessful application,refused grant proposal and rejected paper.
And that's the point:not to consider what we got wrong,but to use that information to both look at failure and realize it's really okay,and also to use our failures for another purpose:as learning tools.
The point is to be real—with ourselves and about how the world works.Being real means taking an honest,critical,but also kind look at what we didn't get right,and then doing our best to change what we can.Instead of focusing on how that failure makes you feel,take the time to step back and analyze the practical,operational reasons that you failed.
So,practice being okay with failure,and turning your failures into lessons learned.And yes,sometimes we have to learn those lessons more than once,letting go of what you can't change.And keep moving forward to success.
[语篇解读] 本文是一篇议论文。即使是最有成就的人背后也会有很多失败——我们只是没有看到它。那么我们应如何看待失败呢?作者从失败的简历开始,告诉读者不能只是考虑我们做错了什么,而是要正确看待失败,把我们的失败当作学习工具,分析失败的原因,保持积极的态度,把失败变成经验教训,并继续前进,最终走向成功。

1.What does the underlined word “it” in the first paragraph refer to?
A.Plenty of failure.
B.A failure resume.
C.Highlight part.
D.Social media.
答案:A
代词指代题。根据上文“even the most accomplished people have plenty of failure behind them”可知,即使是最有成就的人背后也会经历很多失败,分析句子可知,破折号是对上文的解释说明,破折号后的句子说的是“我们只是看不到它”,因此推断,it指代上文提到的plenty of failure。故选A项。

2.What did Stefan intend to tell us in paragraph 3?
A.All her failures in her career.
B.Benefits she got from her failures.
C.The content of her own resume.
D.The difference between her resume and others'.
答案:C

推理判断题。根据第三段可知,本段讲述的是Stefan在一个网站的专栏中发表的东西:我的简历没有反映我在学术上的巨大努力——它没有提到我不及格的考试、我不成功的博士或奖学金申请,或者从未被接受出版的论文。在面试中,我谈到了一个有效的项目,而不是许多失败的项目。由此可知,在第三段中Stefan主要告诉读者她的简历的内容。故选C项。
