Ⅲ.阅读理解
We all dream of reaching a certain success someday.Because of this we are all afraid of the very same thing—failure.But we should understand that we all have to experience some sort of failure in our lives.It is part of growing up and it is part of life itself.Failure doesn’t have to always be seen as something negative.When you get to see failure in a different perspective,you will see that it has the power to help you get to your goal.
Don’t be so hard on yourself whenever you make a mistake or fail a task.Everyone makes mistakes.Whenever you face one failure,remember to accept your fault and do something to make things right.Whenever you fail something,you just have to get up and keep trying.You will get to your goal eventually.
Every mistake is a lesson you have to learn from.As the saying goes,“If you do something wrong for the first time,it is a mistake.But if it happens again,then it becomes a choice.” Your mistakes and failure make you wiser.
You should be smart enough to know and avoid the causes that lead you to them once more.No dream or goal is ever easy.With every great success,there are some failures along the way that lead to something great.Don’t give up and don’t be afraid to make mistakes.It is all part of the game of life.
Life is not a bed of roses.The journey to success will have its ups and downs and have its share of joy and suffering.You will encounter failure once in a while.But pain is part of the learning process.Failures and mistakes are experiences that will make you wiser and stronger as you climb the ladder of success.

A.Everyone should pay for their mistakes.
B.Failure makes success more meaningful.

C.They should not be forgiven.
D.They need sympathy and support.

4.What does the underlined word “encounter” in the last paragraph probably mean?

C.Experience. D.Appreciate.
答案 C
解析 词义猜测题。根据画线词上文“The journey to success will have its ups and downs and have its share of joy and suffering.”以及后文“failure once in a while”可知,成功之路有起有落,有欢乐也有痛苦,所以偶尔会经历失败,故画线词意思是“经历”。故选C。

语篇解读 这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了音乐大师张文卓学习扬琴的经历以及她取得的一些成就。
1.答案 an
解析 考查冠词。instrument是可数名词,在句中是单数,故该空是不定冠词,表示泛指,18th的发音以元音音素开头。故填an。
2.答案 when
解析 考查连词。根据空后的she was only 5,可知该空表示“当……时候”,需用when引导时间状语从句。故填when。
3.答案 won
解析 考查动词的时态。At 13表示该句是一般过去时,故谓语动词是过去式,win意为“赢得”,其过去式是won。故填won。
4.答案 highly
解析 考查副词。该空修饰形容词competitive(有竞争性的),故用副词,high是形容词,highly是副词,表示“很,非常”。故填highly。
5.答案 was admitted
解析 考查时态、语态和主谓一致。主语she与admit是逻辑上的动宾关系,因此该句用被动语态;句子是一般过去时,且主语she是单数形式。故填was admitted。
6.答案 where
解析 考查非限制性定语从句。分析句子结构,该空是非限制性定语从句的关系词,先行词是the National Academy of Chinese Theatre Arts,关系词在从句中作地点状语。故填where。
7.答案 origins
解析 考查名词复数。该空前面是形容词性物主代词their,“它们的”,故应填名词复数。故填origins。
8.答案 combined
解析 考查非谓语动词。该句主语是its sound,谓语是allowed,因此该空是非谓语动词作状语,combine sth with sth为固定短语,意为“将某物和某物结合起来”,sound与combine是被动关系,需用过去分词combined。故填combined。
9.答案 as
解析 考查介词。serve as是固定短语,意为“充当,用作”。故填as。
10.答案 fascinating
解析 考查形容词。该句是句型It+be+形容词+to do sth,空处需填形容词作表语,故填fascinating。
