Reading Comprehension Section A DIRECTIONS: For each blank I n the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context. The teenage years of an individual is marked by evaluating one's values,experiencing a shift in outlooks,and a tendency to act rebellious. It can also be a time when someone becomes extremely___21___ to negative influences,and is drawn towards dangerous situations. On the other hand,for parents, the period of their children's adolescence means regularly worrying about their safety and formation as a citizen. Thus, a method of ___22___teenagers' security is needed, and curfews(宵禁)are often seen as such a measure，since they have proved their ___23___the same time, certain peculiarities exist about establishing curfews for children. The issue of teenage curfews is widely debated in the United States, where this method is still rather ___24___, and in European democracies, where this measure is yet not so widely used .The first and foremost reason for establishing curfews is children's security. ___25___curfews require teenagers under 17 years to stay out of streets starting from 11p.m.or midnight. This is believed to protect them from crimes committed after nightfall,as well as from breaking the law, and there exists serious evidence ___26___this belief. For example, when New Orleans enabled a dusk-til-dawn curfew in 1994, the rates of juvenile crime were reported to fall more than 20 percent.Even more impressive ___27___were recorded in Dallas, which reported a 30-percent decrease in violent juvenile crime,and a 21-percent decrease in the overall rates of crimes committed by young people (The New York Times). On the other hand, curfews can be seen as a preventive measure that rob young people of their rights,___28___ their freedom. This opinion is ___29___ supported by the fact that curfew violations(违规) and the respective charges are among the most often committed juvenile crimes in the United States. ___30___, there were reports claiming that police arrested more non-white teenagers for curfew violations.All this can cause a teenager to believe they have crossed a psychological line dividing them as criminals; thus,such teenagers may start to see themselves as outlaws, which can ___31___ committing more serious crimes than a curfew offense. What is important for a parent to remember when establishing a curfew for their children is that a teenager's misjudged view of certain___32___may cause them to misbehave in some other way; this is proved by research conducted by the University of Minnesota, according to which teens tend to protest against what they see as ___33___. Considering this,parents should ___34___the authoritarian style of establishing curfews; instead, they should have a conversation with their teenager that would be aimed at finding ideal conditions for a curfew that would ___35___both sides. 21.

A The train was at a standstill, some twenty minutes outside Kolkata, when an unexpected stroke of luck presented Piya with an opportunity to go for a seat beside a window for some fresh air. She had been sitting in the stuffiest part of the train compartment, on the edge of a bench: now, moving to the open window, she saw that the train had stopped at a station called Champahati. Looking over her shoulder, Piya spotted a tea-seller on the platform. Reaching through the bars of the window, she called him with a wave. She had never cared for the kind of chai, Indian tea, sold in Seattle, her hometown in the USA, but somehow, in the ten days she had spent in India she had developed an unexpected taste for milky, overboiled tea served in earthenware cups. There were no spices in it for one thing, and this was more to her taste than the chai at home. She paid for her tea and was trying to get in the cup through the bars when the man in the seat opposite her own suddenly turned over a page, jolting her hand. She turned her wrist quickly enough to make sure that most of the tea spilled out of the window, but she could not prevent some from spilling over his papers. “Oh, I’m so sorry!” Piya was very embarrassed: of everyone in the compartment, this was the last person she would have chosen to injure with her tea. She had noticed him while waiting on the platform in Kolkata and she had been struck by the self-satisfied tilt of his head and the way in which he stared at everyone around him, taking them in, sizing them up, sorting them all into their places. “Here,” said Piya, producing a handful of tissues. “Let me help you clean up.” “There’s nothing to be done,” he said testily (暴躁地). “These pages are ruined anyway.” For a moment she considered pointing out that it was he who had knocked her hand. But all she could bring herself to say was, “I’m very sorry. I hope you’ll excuse me.” “Do I really have a choice?” he said. “Does anyone have a choice when they’re dealing with Americans these days?” Piya had no wish to get into an argument so she let this pass. Instead, she opened her eyes wide and, in an attempt to restore peace, came out with, “But how did you guess?” “About what?” “About my being American? You’re very observant.” This seemed to do the trick. His shoulders relaxed as he leaned back in his seat. “I didn’t guess,” he said. “I knew.” 36. In the first paragraph, Piya was relieved when she got a window seat because it meant that_________. A. there was more room for her luggage B. she no longer had to suffer from a lack of air C. there was less chance that she would miss her stop D. she didn’t have to stand for the rest of the train journey 37. Piya found that the tea or chai she had drunk in India ________. A. was disappointingly weak in taste B. reminded her of her home in Seattle C. would have tasted better if served fresh D. was preferable to the chai she had had before 38. When Piya first saw the man she thought that ________. A. he was someone who was observant of surroundings B. he seemed to think he was better than other people C. he had tried to keep his distance from his fellow passengers D. he had been looking for someone he knew on the station platform 39. Piya asked “But how did you guess?” in order to _________. A. find out what the man really thought about Americans B try to calm the situation down by starting a conversation C. ensure the man realized that she had apologized D. make sure the man knew he was being rude B ■Lisa — Exhibition programmes Organizer, Science Museum I’M responsible for putting temporary exhibitions together. This includes planning and designing the exhibition and promoting it. I have to read up about the subject of the exhibition beforehand and then talk to important people in the area so that I can establish the main themes and alms of the exhibition, and plan what objects and pictures should be displayed. I have to make sure the public can understand the thinking behind the exhibition, which means planning Interactive displays, workshops and theatre. I also have to bring in engineers and electrician s to make sure the final display is not dangerous to visitors. Before the exhibition opens, I help design and write the leaflets that well use to tell people about it. ■Sarah — Marine conservationist I live by the coast and work from home. This involves responding to telephone enouines, producing education al resources and setting up training courses. Occasionally, I go into our main office but generally I am on the coast. I also work with schools and study centres and run courses for coastal managers and those Involved in making decisions about the fate of the seas. I do things like take them out to sea in a boat in an attempt to make them think more about the life underneath them. This often changes their views as it’s very different from making decisions using a computer screen. I am extremely lucky because conservation is my hobby, so the job has many highs for me. The downside of the job is that I work for a charity, so there is a constant need for more money. This means I’m always looking for more resources and I’m not able to achieve everything I want. ■Janet — Teacher of London Taxi Drivers THE first thing I do when I get here at 7.30 a. m. is check the accounts. Then I see what new maps and documents need to be produced in order to learn the runs or routes necessary to pass the London taxi- driver test By midday, about 50 students are in school, working out how to make the journeys. They work out the most direct route, using the correct one- way streets, and right-and left-hand turns. I get involved when there’s a difference of opinion — like whether you can do a right turn ala particular junction. When they’ re close to the test, I’ll give them a simple route and no matter what way they say they’ll go. I’ll tell them they have to use another route because the road is closed. The next student will have to find a third route and again. I’ll come up with a reason why they can’t go that way. It’s just to make them think. ■Chris — Map Publisher MY work is pretty varied. I have to make sure that the publishing programme matches market requirements, and ensure that we keep stocks of 300 or so of the books that we publish. We have very high standards of information and content. We receive many letters from readers on issues such as the representation of international boundaries and these in particular require a careful response. I discuss future projects and current sales with co- publishers. I work as part of an enthusiastic Group which makes the job that much more enjoyable. The negative side, as with many jobs, is that there is far too much administration to deal with, which leaves less time to work on the more interesting tasks such as product development and design. 40. According to the passage, whose job involves much outdoor work? A. Lisa’s. B. Sarah’s. C. Janet’s. D. Chris’s. 41. needs to introduce problems that require solutions in her work. A. Lisa B. Sarah C. Janet D. Chris 42. According to Chris, which of the following is the downside of her work? A. Financial limitation. B. Lack of time for something interesting for her. C. Readers’ misunderstanding. D. Too much negotiations with co- publishers. C The Secret of Success The recipe for succeeding in any given field is hardly a mystery: good ideas, hard work, discipline, imagination, perseverance and maybe a little luck. Oh, and let’s not forget failure, which Dashun Wang and his colleagues at Northwestern University call “the essential prerequisite (先决条件) for success” in a new paper. But not every failure leads to success, he adds. And what eventually separates the winners from the losers, the research shows, certainly is not persistence. One of the more interesting findings in the paper, published last October in Nature, is that the people who eventually succeeded and the people who eventually failed tried basically the same number of times to achieve their goals. It turns out that trying again and again only works if you learn from your previous failures. The idea is to work smart, not hard. You have to figure out what worked and what didn’t, and then focus on what needs to be improved instead of struggling around and changing everything,” says Wang. “The people who failed didn’t necessarily work less than those who succeeded. They could actually have worked more: it’s just that they made more unnecessary changes.” As they explored “the mechanisms governing the dynamics of failure”, Wang’s team identified what they describe as previously unknown statistical signatures that separate successful groups from unsuccessful groups, making it possible to predict their final outcomes. One such key indicator is the time between consecutive (连续的) failed attempts, which should decrease steadily. In other words, the faster you fail, the better your chances of success, and the more time between attempts, the more likely you are to fail again. “If someone has applied for a grant and they are three failures in,” Wang says, “if we just look at the timing between the failures, we will be able to predict whether they will eventually succeed or not.” Working with such large-scale data, Wang and his colleagues were able to identify a critical point that was common to each of the hundreds of thousands of undertakings they had analyzed, a fork in the road where one path leads to a development region and one leads to a stagnation region. Wang points out that the existence of the tipping point cuts against the traditional explanations for failure or success, such as luck or a person’s work habits. “What we’ re showing here is that even in the absence of such differences, you can still have very different outcomes.” he says. What matters is how people fail, how they respond to failure and where those failures lead. 43. It can be learned from Paragraph 2 that________. A. winners are more persistent than losers B. failure is not important for success at all C. more trying doesn’t necessarily result in success D. winners and losers differ in how many times they tried 44 Wang and his colleagues believe that________. A. no one can obtain success without failure B. failure can sometimes help predict success C. the performance pattern is difficult to identify D. the critical point had been discovered by chance 45. The underlined phrase “a stagnation region” in Paragraph 6 refers to a region________. A. without progress B. beyond recognition C. unknown to outsiders D. in its elementary stage 46. What is the conclusion of Wang’s research? A. Winners try less than losers. but gain more. B. Perseverance is the utmost secret to success. C. Working smart could turn failures into future successes. D. Luck and work habits hardly make any difference to the result. Section C DIRECTIONS: Read the following passage. All in each bi an k with a proper sentence given In the box.

A Dream Come True The young professor was working in his workshop in a narrow street in Boston, not far from Scollay Square. It was a very hot afternoon in June, but the man did not notice. He was totally absorbed in his strange machine which he had been working on for about three years. Suddenly he heard an almost inaudible sound, the first sound ever transmitted through a wire. The machine was the very first telephone and the young man was Alexander Graham Bell. At the age of 16 Alexander started to help teach young deaf mutes, children who could not hear or speak. He used his father's system of ‘visible speech’, a form of sign language, and achieved amazing results. ____47____ Mr Alexander Ell is a professor of philology. and Sir Charles Wheatstone, an expert in telegraphy, started him thinking about sending sounds through a machine. Unfortunately, it was around this time that the fatal disease called the white plague, spread through Britain and both Alexander's brothers died. ____48____ Alexander was teaching to a tribe of Mohawk Indians in a small Canadian town called Brantford, when the Boston Board of Education asked him to come and work in the USA at a new school for deaf mutes. Alexander was happy to move to Boston and continue the work he had started in Britain. ____49____ Then, two years later, he agreed to give private lessons to a young boy whose family allowed him to use their basement as a workshop. ____50____ He used to spend all his free time, and most of his money, on his inventions. At that time he had another student who greatly influenced his life. She was a young girl who had lost her hearing and the ability to speak because of a childhood illness. Her name was Mabel Hubbard, and four years later they got married. In order to survive financially Bell had to work on the music al telegraph, but he also continued working on his mechanical voice transmitter. He became so successful that he soon opened his own school called “The School of Vocal Physiology”. Almost a year later. in March 1876, the first words were heard coming through the phone. A. However, he was so busy there that he did not have the time to work on his inventions. B. A few years later, while working in London, Alexander met two men who would play an important role in his life. C. This gave Alexander the opportunity to resume his experiments with sound transmitters. D. Alexander was spending so much time and energy on his inventions he did less and less work with his students and soon ran out of money. E. His grandfather had invented a system to help people with speech problems. F. As a result, Alexander and his parents left the country and moved to Canada. Ⅳ. Summary Writing 51. Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words asfar as possible. How to Be a Successful Team Leader? Every well-organized team needs to have an outstanding leader with specific skills. Sometimes the leader’s abilities can come to affect the whole team. Although we students are still young, it’s never too early to cultivate leadership skills. A team consists of both leaders and followers. Neither side can exist and work effectively without the other. What is essential to the role of leader is the ability to unite the whole team. A great leader enables their team to achieve a common goal through the giving of clear directions and support. Meanwhile, everyone on a team also desires personal success, so a balance can be hard to strike. If a leader doesn’t have fierce determination, the followers will lose their confidence and things will not be done well. What’s more, a successful and charming leader ought to be able to handle interpersonal relationships well. They should be honest, fair, objective and impartial (公正的) when it comes to both rewards and punishments. These kinds of leaders are trustworthy, and thus, the working atmosphere will only come to be improved. They are role models who can have a strong influence on the whole team. To become a powerful leader at school, students have to take the initiative in connecting with their fellow students. Good communication skills allow people to build good relationships, which is an essential part of being a good leader. If you find it hard to express your ideas clearly to those who you collaborate with, it may be rather difficult for you to be a good leader. It’s a well-known fact that, whatever field you wish to work in, leadership skills are necessary for anyone who desires to have a successful career. So it’s never too early to train yourselves as promising future leaders. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Ⅴ.

Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read. A The train was at a standstill, some twenty minutes outside Kolkata, when an unexpected stroke of luck presented Piya with an opportunity to go for a seat beside a window for some fresh air. She had been sitting in the stuffiest part of the train compartment, on the edge of a bench: now, moving to the open window, she saw that the train had stopped at a station called Champahati. Looking over her shoulder, Piya spotted a tea-seller on the platform. Reaching through the bars of the window, she called him with a wave. She had never cared for the kind of chai, Indian tea, sold in Seattle, her hometown in the USA, but somehow, in the ten days she had spent in India she had developed an unexpected taste for milky, overboiled tea served in earthenware cups. There were no spices in it for one thing, and this was more to her taste than the chai at home. She paid for her tea and was trying to get in the cup through the bars when the man in the seat opposite her own suddenly turned over a page, jolting her hand. She turned her wrist quickly enough to make sure that most of the tea spilled out of the window, but she could not prevent some from spilling over his papers. “Oh, I’m so sorry!” Piya was very embarrassed: of everyone in the compartment, this was the last person she would have chosen to injure with her tea. She had noticed him while waiting on the platform in Kolkata and she had been struck by the self-satisfied tilt of his head and the way in which he stared at everyone around him, taking them in, sizing them up, sorting them all into their places. “Here,” said Piya, producing a handful of tissues. “Let me help you clean up.” “There’s nothing to be done,” he said testily (暴躁地). “These pages are ruined anyway.” For a moment she considered pointing out that it was he who had knocked her hand. But all she could bring herself to say was, “I’m very sorry. I hope you’ll excuse me.” “Do I really have a choice?” he said. “Does anyone have a choice when they’re dealing with Americans these days?” Piya had no wish to get into an argument so she let this pass. Instead, she opened her eyes wide and, in an attempt to restore peace, came out with, “But how did you guess?” “About what?” “About my being American? You’re very observant.” This seemed to do the trick. His shoulders relaxed as he leaned back in his seat. “I didn’t guess,” he said. “I knew.” 36. In the first paragraph, Piya was relieved when she got a window seat because it meant that_________. A. there was more room for her luggage B. she no longer had to suffer from a lack of air C. there was less chance that she would miss her stop D. she didn’t have to stand for the rest of the train journey 37. Piya found that the tea or chai she had drunk in India ________. A. was disappointingly weak in taste B. reminded her of her home in Seattle C. would have tasted better if served fresh D. was preferable to the chai she had had before 38. When Piya first saw the man she thought that ________. A. he was someone who was observant of surroundings B. he seemed to think he was better than other people C. he had tried to keep his distance from his fellow passengers D. he had been looking for someone he knew on the station platform 39. Piya asked “But how did you guess?” in order to _________. A. find out what the man really thought about Americans B. try to calm the situation down by starting a conversation C. ensure the man realized that she had apologized D. make sure the man knew he was being rude 【答案】36. B 37. D 38. B 39. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文，文章主要讲述了是美国小姑娘Piya在火车上的一次经历。 【36题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“The train was at a standstill, some twenty minutes outside Kolkata, when an unexpected stroke of luck presented Piya with an opportunity to go for a seat beside a window for some fresh air. She had been sitting in the stuffiest part of the train compartment, on the edge of a bench, now, moving to the open window, she saw that the train had stopped at a station called Champahati. (火车停在离加尔各答大约二十分钟的地方，这时一个意外的机缘给了皮娅一个机会，她坐在靠窗的座位上呼吸新鲜空气。她一直坐在火车车厢最闷热的地方，坐在长凳边上，现在，她走到敞开的窗口，看到火车停在了一个叫Champahati的车站。)”可知，当Piya找到一个靠窗的座位时，她松了一口气，因为这意味着她再也不用忍受空气不足的痛苦了。故选B。 【37题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“She had never cared for the kind of chai, Indian tea, sold in Seattle, her hometown in the USA, but somehow, in the ten days she had spent in India she had developed an unexpected taste for milky, overboiled tea served in earthenware cups. There were no spices in it for one thing, and this was more to her taste than the chai at home.(她从来没有喜欢过在她的家乡美国西雅图出售的印度茶，但不知何故，在印度的十天里，她意外地喜欢上了用陶杯盛着的煮过的奶茶。首先，里面没有香料，这比家里的茶更合她的口味。)”可知，Piya发现她在印度喝的茶比她以前喝过的茶更美味。故选D。 【38题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“She had noticed him while waiting on the platform in Kolkata and she had been struck by the self-satisfied tilt of his head and the way in which he stared at everyone around him, taking them in, sizing them up, sorting them all into their places.(她是在加尔各答的月台上等车时注意到他的，他得意洋洋地歪着头，盯着周围每个人，打量着他们，把他们分门别类，给她留下了深刻的印象。)”可知，当皮娅第一次看到这个男人时，她觉得他似乎认为自己比别人好。故选B。 【39题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章倒数第四段“Piya had no wish to get into an argument so she let this pass. Instead, she opened her eyes wide and, in an attempt to restore peace, came out with, “But how did you guess?”(皮娅不想和别人争吵，所以她就不计较了。相反，她睁大了眼睛，试图恢复平静，说：“但是你是怎么猜到的？”)”以及最后一段“This seemed to do the trick. His shoulders relaxed as he leaned back in his seat.(这似乎奏效了。他向后靠在座位上，肩膀放松了下来。)”可知，Piya问“你是怎么猜的？”的目的是试图通过开始谈话来平息与男子之间紧张的局势。故选B。 B ■Lisa — Exhibition programmes Organizer, Science Museum I’M responsible for putting temporary exhibitions together. This includes planning and designing the exhibition and promoting it. I have to read up about the subject of the exhibition beforehand and then talk to important people in the area so that I can establish the main themes and alms of the exhibition, and plan what objects and pictures should be displayed. I have to make sure the public can understand the thinking behind the exhibition, which means planning Interactive displays, workshops and theatre. I also have to bring in engineers and electrician s to make sure the final display is not dangerous to visitors. Before the exhibition opens, I help design and write the leaflets that well use to tell people about it. ■Sarah — Marine conservationist I live by the coast and work from home. This involves responding to telephone enouines, producing education al resources and setting up training courses. Occasionally, I go into our main office but generally I am on the coast. I also work with schools and study centres and run courses for coastal managers and those Involved in making decisions about the fate of the seas. I do things like take them out to sea in a boat in an attempt to make them think more about the life underneath them. This often changes their views as it’s very different from making decisions using a computer screen. I am extremely lucky because conservation is my hobby, so the job has many highs for me. The downside of the job is that I work for a charity, so there is a constant need for more money. This means I’m always looking for more resources and I’m not able to achieve everything I want. ■Janet — Teacher of London Taxi Drivers THE first thing I do when I get here at 7.30 a. m. is check the accounts. Then I see what new maps and documents need to be produced in order to learn the runs or routes necessary to pass the London taxi- driver test By midday, about 50 students are in school, working out how to make the journeys. They work out the most direct route, using the correct one- way streets, and right-and left-hand turns. I get involved when there’s a difference of opinion — like whether you can do a right turn ala particular junction. When they’ re close to the test, I’ll give them a simple route and no matter what way they say they’ll go. I’ll tell them they have to use another route because the road is closed. The next student will have to find a third route and again. I’ll come up with a reason why they can’t go that way. It’s just to make them think. ■Chris — Map Publisher MY work is pretty varied. I have to make sure that the publishing programme matches market requirements, and ensure that we keep stocks of 300 or so of the books that we publish. We have very high standards of information and content. We receive many letters from readers on issues such as the representation of international boundaries and these in particular require a careful response. I discuss future projects and current sales with co- publishers. I work as part of an enthusiastic Group which makes the job that much more enjoyable. The negative side, as with many jobs, is that there is far too much administration to deal with, which leaves less time to work on the more interesting tasks such as product development and design. 40.

I get involved when there’s a difference of opinion — like whether you can do a right turn ala particular junction. When they’ re close to the test, I’ll give them a simple route and no matter what way they say they’ll go. I’ll tell them they have to use another route because the road is closed. The next student will have to find a third route and again. I’ll come up with a reason why they can’t go that way. It’s just to make them think.(然后，我看到需要制作哪些新的地图和文件，以便学习通过伦敦出租车司机考试所必需的路线或路线。中午时分，大约有50名学生在学校，研究如何出行。他们利用正确的单行道和左右转弯，找出最直接的路线。当有不同意见时，我就会参与进来——比如你是否可以在某个路口右转。当他们接近测试时，我会给他们一条简单的路线，不管他们说走哪条路，他们都会走。我会告诉他们，他们必须走另一条路，因为这条路封闭了。下一个学生将不得不再次找到第三条路线。我会想出一个他们不能那样做的理由。只是为了让他们思考)”可知，珍妮特需要在工作中引入需要解决的问题。故选C。 【42题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“The negative side, as with many jobs, is that there is far too much administration to deal with, which leaves less time to work on the more interesting tasks such as product development and design.(与许多工作一样，负面的一面是，要处理的行政事务太多了，这样一来，用于产品开发和设计等更有趣的任务的时间就少了)”可知，克里斯的工作缺点是没有时间做她感兴趣的事情。故选B。 C The Secret of Success The recipe for succeeding in any given field is hardly a mystery: good ideas, hard work, discipline, imagination, perseverance and maybe a little luck. Oh, and let’s not forget failure, which Dashun Wang and his colleagues at Northwestern University call “the essential prerequisite (先决条件) for success” in a new paper. But not every failure leads to success, he adds. And what eventually separates the winners from the losers, the research shows, certainly is not persistence. One of the more interesting findings in the paper, published last October in Nature, is that the people who eventually succeeded and the people who eventually failed tried basically the same number of times to achieve their goals. It turns out that trying again and again only works if you learn from your previous failures. The idea is to work smart, not hard. You have to figure out what worked and what didn’t, and then focus on what needs to be improved instead of struggling around and changing everything,” says Wang. “The people who failed didn’t necessarily work less than those who succeeded. They could actually have worked more: it’s just that they made more unnecessary changes.” As they explored “the mechanisms governing the dynamics of failure”, Wang’s team identified what they describe as previously unknown statistical signatures that separate successful groups from unsuccessful groups, making it possible to predict their final outcomes. One such key indicator is the time between consecutive (连续的) failed attempts, which should decrease steadily. In other words, the faster you fail, the better your chances of success, and the more time between attempts, the more likely you are to fail again. “If someone has applied for a grant and they are three failures in,” Wang says, “if we just look at the timing between the failures, we will be able to predict whether they will eventually succeed or not.” Working with such large-scale data, Wang and his colleagues were able to identify a critical point that was common to each of the hundreds of thousands of undertakings they had analyzed, a fork in the road where one path leads to a development region and one leads to a stagnation region. Wang points out that the existence of the tipping point cuts against the traditional explanations for failure or success, such as luck or a person’s work habits. “What we’ re showing here is that even in the absence of such differences, you can still have very different outcomes.” he says. What matters is how people fail, how they respond to failure and where those failures lead. 43. It can be learned from Paragraph 2 that________. A. winners are more persistent than losers B. failure is not important for success at all C. more trying doesn’t necessarily result in success D. winners and losers differ in how many times they tried 44. Wang and his colleagues believe that________. A. no one can obtain success without failure B. failure can sometimes help predict success C. the performance pattern is difficult to identify D. the critical point had been discovered by chance 45. The underlined phrase “a stagnation region” in Paragraph 6 refers to a region________. A. without progress B. beyond recognition C. unknown to outsiders D. in its elementary stage 46. What is the conclusion of Wang’s research? A. Winners try less than losers. but gain more. B. Perseverance is the utmost secret to success. C. Working smart could turn failures into future successes. D. Luck and work habits hardly make any difference to the result. 【答案】43. C 44. B 45. A 46. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章分析了成功的秘密。 【43题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“But not every failure leads to success, he adds. And what eventually separates the winners from the losers, the research shows, certainly is not persistence. One of the more interesting findings in the paper, published last October in Nature, is that the people who eventually succeeded and the people who eventually failed tried basically the same number of times to achieve their goals. (但他补充说，并不是每一次失败都会导致成功。研究显示，最终区分赢家和输家的，当然不是坚持不懈。去年10月发表在《自然》杂志上的一篇论文中有一个更有趣的发现，那就是最终成功的人和最终失败的人为实现目标所尝试的次数基本相同。)”可知，更多的尝试不一定会带来成功。故选C。 【44题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段中“In other words, the faster you fail, the better your chances of success, and the more time between attempts, the more likely you are to fail again. “If someone has applied for a grant and they are three failures in,” Wang says, “if we just look at the timing between the failures, we will be able to predict whether they will eventually succeed or not.” (换句话说，失败的速度越快，成功的机会就越大，两次尝试之间的间隔时间越长，再次失败的可能性就越大。“如果有人申请了一项资助，但他们失败了三次，”王说，“如果我们只看两次失败之间的时间间隔，我们就能预测他们最终是否会成功。”)”可知，从两次失败的时间间隔可以帮助预测最终是否能成功，即失败有时可以帮助预测成功。故选B。 【45题详解】 词句猜测题。根据倒数第二段“Working with such large-scale data, Wang and his colleagues were able to identify a critical point that was common to each of the hundreds of thousands of undertakings they had analyzed, a fork in the road where one path leads to a development region and one leads to a stagnation region. (利用如此大规模的数据，王和他的同事们能够在他们分析的数十万个企业中找到一个共同的临界点，这是一个岔路口，一条路通向发展区域，一条路通向a stagnation region。)”可知，这个临界点导致两个不同的结果，即一个是“development region (发展区域)”，那么与之相对的可以推断出是“停滞区域，非发展区”。a stagnation region的含义为“停滞区域，非发展区”。A. without progress没有进展；B. beyond recognition认不出来；C. unknown to outsiders外人不知道；D. in its elementary stage处于初级阶段。故选A。 【46题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“It turns out that trying again and again only works if you learn from your previous failures. The idea is to work smart, not hard. “You have to figure out what worked and what didn’t, and then focus on what needs to be improved instead of struggling around and changing everything,” says Wang. “The people who failed didn’t necessarily work less than those who succeeded. They could actually have worked more: it’s just that they made more unnecessary changes.”（事实证明，只有从以前的失败中吸取教训，一次又一次的尝试才会成功。关键是要聪明地工作，而不是努力工作。“你必须弄清楚什么有效，什么无效，然后专注于需要改进的地方，而不是挣扎着改变一切，”王说。“失败者并不一定比成功者工作得少。他们其实可以做得更多:只是他们做了更多不必要的改变。”）”以及最后一段中““What we’ re showing here is that even in the absence of such differences, you can still have very different outcomes.” he says. What matters is how people fail, how they respond to failure and where those failures lead. (他说：“我们在这里展示的是，即使没有这些差异，你仍然可以得到非常不同的结果。”重要的是人们如何失败，他们如何应对失败，以及这些失败会导致什么。)”可知，王的研究结果表明并不是每一次失败都会导致成功，真正导致成功的是弄清楚人们如何失败，他们如何应对失败，以及这些失败会导致什么，然后进行改变，即聪明地工作可以把失败变成未来的成功。故选C。 Section C DIRECTIONS: Read the following passage.

A Dream Come True The young professor was working in his workshop in a narrow street in Boston, not far from Scollay Square. It was a very hot afternoon in June, but the man did not notice. He was totally absorbed in his strange machine which he had been working on for about three years. Suddenly he heard an almost inaudible sound, the first sound ever transmitted through a wire. The machine was the very first telephone and the young man was Alexander Graham Bell. At the age of 16 Alexander started to help teach young deaf mutes, children who could not hear or speak. He used his father's system of ‘visible speech’, a form of sign language, and achieved amazing results. ____47____ Mr Alexander Ell is a professor of philology. and Sir Charles Wheatstone, an expert in telegraphy, started him thinking about sending sounds through a machine. Unfortunately, it was around this time that the fatal disease called the white plague, spread through Britain and both Alexander's brothers died. ____48____ Alexander was teaching to a tribe of Mohawk Indians in a small Canadian town called Brantford, when the Boston Board of Education asked him to come and work in the USA at a new school for deaf mutes. Alexander was happy to move to Boston and continue the work he had started in Britain. ____49____ Then, two years later, he agreed to give private lessons to a young boy whose family allowed him to use their basement as a workshop. ____50____ He used to spend all his free time, and most of his money, on his inventions. At that time he had another student who greatly influenced his life. She was a young girl who had lost her hearing and the ability to speak because of a childhood illness. Her name was Mabel Hubbard, and four years later they got married. In order to survive financially Bell had to work on the music al telegraph, but he also continued working on his mechanical voice transmitter. He became so successful that he soon opened his own school called “The School of Vocal Physiology”. Almost a year later. in March 1876, the first words were heard coming through the phone. A. However, he was so busy there that he did not have the time to work on his inventions. B. A few years later, while working in London, Alexander met two men who would play an important role in his life. C. This gave Alexander the opportunity to resume his experiments with sound transmitters. D. Alexander was spending so much time and energy on his inventions he did less and less work with his students and soon ran out of money. E. His grandfather had invented a system to help people with speech problems. F. As a result, Alexander and his parents left the country and moved to Canada. 【答案】47. B 48. F 49. A 50.

Summary Writing 51. Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words asfar as possible. How to Be a Successful Team Leader? Every well-organized team needs to have an outstanding leader with specific skills. Sometimes the leader’s abilities can come to affect the whole team. Although we students are still young, it’s never too early to cultivate leadership skills. A team consists of both leaders and followers. Neither side can exist and work effectively without the other. What is essential to the role of leader is the ability to unite the whole team. A great leader enables their team to achieve a common goal through the giving of clear directions and support. Meanwhile, everyone on a team also desires personal success, so a balance can be hard to strike. If a leader doesn’t have fierce determination, the followers will lose their confidence and things will not be done well. What’s more, a successful and charming leader ought to be able to handle interpersonal relationships well. They should be honest, fair, objective and impartial (公正的) when it comes to both rewards and punishments. These kinds of leaders are trustworthy, and thus, the working atmosphere will only come to be improved. They are role models who can have a strong influence on the whole team. To become a powerful leader at school, students have to take the initiative in connecting with their fellow students. Good communication skills allow people to build good relationships, which is an essential part of being a good leader. If you find it hard to express your ideas clearly to those who you collaborate with, it may be rather difficult for you to be a good leader. It’s a well-known fact that, whatever field you wish to work in, leadership skills are necessary for anyone who desires to have a successful career. So it’s never too early to train yourselves as promising future leaders. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】It is essential to develop leadership skills when you’re young.
