You make your own future. You want to be a doctor, a teacher, or a sportsman? A good, education is required for every single one of those careers (职业). And what you’re learning in school today will decide whether your country can meet the greatest challenge in the future. The truth is that being successful is hard. Some of the most successful people in the world are the ones who’ve had the most failures (失败). For example, the first book of J.K. Rowling, the writer of Harry Potter, was refused 12 times before it was finally published. Michael Jordan was once kicked off his high school basketball team. He lost hundreds of games and thousands of shots during his career. But he said, “I have failed over and over again in my life. But that’s why I succeed.” These people succeeded because they understood that they couldn’t let their failures define (定义) themselves but to teach themselves. So if you get a bad grade, that doesn’t mean you’re stupid. Instead, you need to spend more time studying. I expect you to put your best effort into everything you do. So don’t let us down, don’t let your family or country down. Most importantly, don’t let yourself down. 46. How many careers are mentioned in Paragraph 1? ____________________ 47. Who wrote Harry Potter? ____________________ 48. What sport did Michael Jordan play? ____________________ 49. Why did the famous people succeed? ____________________ 50. What is the writer’s most important suggestion? ____________________ 51. B. 书面表达 为助力打造“书香校园”，你校英语社团将举办以“热爱阅读”为主题的征文活动。请以“Enjoy Reading, Enjoy Life”为标题写一篇短文。 内容包括： （1）介绍你自己的阅读情况； （2）阐述阅读给你带来的好处。 作文要求： （1）不能照抄原文；意思连贯，语句通顺，语法正确，要点齐全，可适当发挥。 （2）短文不能出现真实的人名和校名。80词左右 （标题已给出，不计入总词数）。 参考词汇：experience, habit, knowledge, pleasure Enjoy Reading, Enjoy Life ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】46. Three/3. 47. J.K. Rowling. 48. He played basketball. 49. Because they understood that they couldn’t let their failures define themselves but to teach themselves. 50. Don’t let yourself down. 51. 例文 Enjoy Reading, Enjoy Life As a saying goes: “Reading makes a full man.” I have a great passion for reading and it has become a part of my life. I have a good habit of reading newspapers to keep up with the latest news. I’m also fond of novels and magazines. Besides, book reviews provide me with different ideas on great books. When reading, I feel relaxed and pleased. It’s the best moment to get knowledge and pleasure in life. What’s more, reading opens my eyes and broadens my mind. Through reading, I can experience what I haven’t seen or done before. With a deep love for reading.

You can learn about the Native Americans who first lived in the area, as well as the animals and plants in the canyon. The canyon itself is made up of red sandstone which is very striking in color when the sun hits the canyon walls. There are many hiking routes that you can stop and hike. They range from easy to difficult. The canyon is also popular for rock climbers, who can often be seen in the area. The greatest thing about Red Rock Canyon is that you can see the sights without ever leaving your car.

You make your own future. You want to be a doctor, a teacher, or a sportsman? A good, education is required for every single one of those careers (职业). And what you’re learning in school today will decide whether your country can meet the greatest challenge in the future. The truth is that being successful is hard. Some of the most successful people in the world are the ones who’ve had the most failures (失败). For example, the first book of J.K. Rowling, the writer of Harry Potter, was refused 12 times before it was finally published. Michael Jordan was once kicked off his high school basketball team. He lost hundreds of games and thousands of shots during his career. But he said, “I have failed over and over again in my life. But that’s why I succeed.” These people succeeded because they understood that they couldn’t let their failures define (定义) themselves but to teach themselves. So if you get a bad grade, that doesn’t mean you’re stupid. Instead, you need to spend more time studying. I expect you to put your best effort into everything you do. So don’t let us down, don’t let your family or country down. Most importantly, don’t let yourself down. 46. How many careers are mentioned in Paragraph 1? ____________________ 47. Who wrote Harry Potter? ____________________ 48. What sport did Michael Jordan play? ____________________ 49. Why did the famous people succeed? ____________________ 50. What is the writer’s most important suggestion? ____________________ 51. B. 书面表达 为助力打造“书香校园”，你校英语社团将举办以“热爱阅读”为主题的征文活动。请以“Enjoy Reading, Enjoy Life”为标题写一篇短文。 内容包括： （1）介绍你自己的阅读情况； （2）阐述阅读给你带来的好处。 作文要求： （1）不能照抄原文；意思连贯，语句通顺，语法正确，要点齐全，可适当发挥。 （2）短文不能出现真实的人名和校名。80词左右 （标题已给出，不计入总词数）。 参考词汇：experience, habit, knowledge, pleasure Enjoy Reading, Enjoy Life ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
