Ⅰ.阅读理解
While I was growing up,I often heard my
teachers say,“Oh,Tina is gifted in algebra.”
While watching the Olympics,my parents would
say,“These gymnasts are born with such
ability.”Statements like these made me believe
people were born with certain talents and if they
didnt have a particular one at birth,then they
never would. Therefore, I rarely focused on
algebra. Nobody told me that if you keep trying
and trying,one day a difficult task will seem
easy.
Actually, I learnt this from my young
daughter,Samaya. One day,I was finishing some
paperwork and I said,“Oh no,how could I have
made that mistake!” Samaya instantly said,
“Mum,dont worry. Mistakes make your brain
grow bigger.”
Actually,we all need to be reminded that
mistakes or failures are just fine and that they are
a huge part of growth and success. However,the
regular belief is the opposite. We must correct this
with our children. We must encourage them to
make mistakes because that means they are trying
out new ideas.
Billionaire Sara Blakely, founder of the
shapewear business Spanx, has seen many
failures. She made a living by selling fax machines
for seven years. Knocking on many doors and
making a lot of mistakes was a journey she calls
educational. Sara Blakely owes her risktaking
skills to the weekend talk she had with her father.
As a child,her father would ask her the
same question every weekend.“What did you fail
at this week,Sara?”He did not care how high
her scores were. He wanted to know what she had
tried but failed at. When she told him about her
—891—
failures and mistakes,he would give her a high
five. He was reprogramming her mind to believe
that mistakes and failures are fine.
So go ahead and ask yourself and your
children,“What did we fail at this week?”
1. What discouraged the author from efforts in
algebra?
A. She wasnt interested in it.
B. She thought she was not gifted.
C. She thought it was useless.
D. She was not allowed to learn it.
2. What does the underlined word “this” in
Paragraph 3 refer to?
A. Keep trying is necessary.
B. Failure is a path to success.
C. Mistakes are not acceptable.
D. Encouragement is significant.
3. Why did Saras father keep asking her the same
question?
A. To rebuild her mindset.
B. To keep her from failures.
C. To know what she hadnt tried.
D. To prevent her getting high scores.
4. What would be the best title for the text?
A. A Secret to Success
B. A Method of Education
C. The Magic of Mistakes
D. The Power of a Fixed Mindset
Ⅱ.七选五
Heres my own list of positive reasons to homeschool.
1
Most of the homeschooled kids I know have their own particular passions and areas that they can
discuss like an expert. Very few of these areas—modern art,Legos and analyzing horror films—are the
kind of things students learn about in school. I know from my own school experience that having an
offbeat(不寻常的)interest doesnt win you points from teachers and other students. 2
It teaches kids how to interact with adults.
3 It didnt help that the only adults I saw all day were always looking down on me and telling
me what to do. When homeschoolers interact with adults in the community,they learn how civil people
treat each other in public. Its a kind of socialization most school kids dont experience until theyre ready
to go out into the world.
It also brings parents and kids closer together.
When I was looking into homeschooling for the first time,one of the greatest selling points was heard
from parents of the homeschooled students that their teens never felt the need to push them away. 4
—991—
In fact,homeschooled teens are often more ready for adult life than their traditionally schooled peers.
It adapts to the familys schedule.
No getting up before dawn to take the school bus. No worrying about whether to take a family trip
because it means missing classes. 5 And it gives them the freedom to do the important things in their
lives,on their own schedule.
A. Sure,they develop independence.
B. It lets kids show their enthusiasm.
C. Kids can do what they want to do at home.
D. As a kid,I was really shy around grownups.
E. It is wrong for them to be late for school every day.
F. Homeschooling allows families to learn anywhere,even on the road.
G. But among homeschoolers,its what makes your friends so interesting.
Ⅲ.语法填空

Jenny was a pretty eightyearold girl.
One day when she and her mother were
checking out at the grocery store,Jenny saw a
plastic pearl necklace,by which she was totally
defeated. How eagerly she wanted it!
But when
—002—
she saw the price,her heart sank a little. She
gathered up her courage and asked her mother if
she would buy it for her. Her mother said,
“Well,it is a pretty necklace,but it costs an
awful lot of money. I can buy you the necklace,
but when we get home,we should make up a list
of housework that you can do to pay for the
necklace.”Jenny agreed immediately,feeling a
burst of joy. So her mother bought the pearl
necklace for her. Jenny worked on her housework
determinedly and earnestly every day. Soon Jenny
paid off the pearls.
Jenny had a very loving daddy. When Jenny
went to bed,he would read Jenny her favorite
story. One night when he finished the story,he
said,“Jenny,do you love me?”“Oh,yes,
Daddy,you know I love you.”the little girl said
delightedly,with a broad smile on her face.
“Well,then give me your pearls.”Hearing that,
Jenny froze there,an anxious expression twisting
her face. “Oh!Daddy,not my pearls!But you
can have Rosy,my favorite doll. Remember her?
You gave her to me last year for my birthday.
Okay?”“Oh no,darling, thats okay.” Her
father brushed her cheek with a kiss,gently and
calmly. “Good night,little one.”
A week later,her father once again asked
Jenny after her story,“Do you love me?”“Oh
yes,Daddy,you know I love you.”the little girl
murmured softly,trying to escape from her fathers
eyes. “Well,then,give me your pearls.”“Oh,
Daddy, not my pearls! But you can have
Ribbons,my toy horse. Do you remember her?
She is my favorite.”The little girl begged. “No,
thats okay,”her father said,smiling broadly and
sweetly and brushed her cheek again with a kiss.
“God bless you,little one. Sweet dreams.”
注意:
1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在相应的位置作答。
Several days later,when Jennys father came
in to read her story,Jenny was waiting anxiously
for him on the bed.
Holding the plastic pearl his daughter
offered,
the father dragged out a blue box.

Ⅰ.【语篇解读】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。作者
借自身经历和Sara Blakely的故事,讲述了失
败和犯错误的重要性。
1. B 细节理解题。根据第一段“Statements like
these made me believe people were born with
certain talents and if they didnt have a particu
lar one at birth,then they never would. There
fore,I rarely focused on algebra(像这样的陈述
让我相信人生来就有一定的天赋,如果他们
出生时没有特定的天赋,那么他们永远也不
会有。因此,我很少关注代数).”可知,作者
不认真学代数的原因是她觉得自己不具备这
方面的天赋。故选B。
2. C 词义猜测题。根据第三段“Actually,we
all need to be reminded that mistakes or failures
are just fine and that they are a huge part of
growth and success. However,the regular belief
is the opposite. We must correct this with our
children(事实上,我们都需要被提醒,错误和
失败都是好的,
它们是成长和成功的重要组
—242—
成部分。然而,人们的普遍看法恰恰相反。
我们必须给我们的孩子纠正这一点).”可知,
this指的是“犯错误是不可以接受的”的这个
观点。故选C。
3. A 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段的“He
wanted to know what she had tried but failed
at.”及“He was reprogramming her mind to be
lieve that mistakes and failures are fine(他在重
新调整她的思想,让她相信错误和失败是没
关系的).”可知,Sara父亲问她相同问题的原
因是想重塑她面对失败和错误的态度,让她
相信错误和失败是可以接受的。故选A。
4. C 标题推测题。根据第三段的“Actually,we
all need to be reminded that mistakes or failures
are just fine and that they are a huge part of
growth and success(事实上,我们都需要被提
醒,错误和失败都是好的,它们是成长和成功
的重要组成部分).”可知,作者借自身经历和
Sara Blakely的故事,讲述了失败和犯错误的
重要性。因此推断C项“错误的魔力”为最佳
标题。故选C。
Ⅱ.【语篇解读】作者结合个人的体会,介绍了家
中教学的各种好处,如它可以让孩子展现自
己的兴趣爱好、加强孩子和成人的交流、拉
近孩子和父母之间的感情距离、让孩子学习
的时间和方式灵活多样等。
1. B 根据空格下一段的内容可推知,此段谈论
的内容与孩子的兴趣爱好有关,且空格处为
小标题,故B项符合语境。
2. G 根据上文可知,可能老师和其他学生对在
家受教育的孩子的特殊爱好不赞成。此处表
示转折,故选G项。
3. D 根据本段主旨可知,本段谈到孩子和成人
的交流,故D项符合语境。
4. A 由空后的一句可推知,在家接受教育的孩
子较为独立,故A项符合语境。
5. F 根据下句内容可推知,孩子在家学习的时
间和地点都十分灵活,故F项符合题意。
Ⅲ.【语篇解读】现在,英语成为全世界通用的语
言之一,那么,关于英语的起源你了解多少?
1. widely 考查副词。此处是副词作状语,修饰
used。widely “广泛地”。
2. is made 考查语态。此处意为:英语是由语
法和词汇组成的。be made up of爥 “由……组
成”。
3. development考查名词。Its后接名词。devel
opment意为“发展”。
4. consisted 考查时态。“由……组成”,用con
sist of爥表达,此处是一般过去时。
5. to 考查介词。contribute to爥 “导致,有助
于”。
6. which 考查关系代词。此处引导非限制性定
语从句,指代上文的事情,并在从句中作主
语,故用which引导。
7. an 考查冠词。have an influence on / upon爥
意为“对……有影响”。
8. more 考查形容词比较级。句意:这就导致更
多的成对的类似单词。故用比较级。
9. changing 考查现在分词。此处是现在分词
作定语。
10. inventing 考查非谓语动词。keep doing sth.
意为“一直做某事”。
Ⅳ. One possible version:
Several days later,when Jennys father
came in to read her story,Jenny was waiting
anxiously for him on the bed. When listening
to the story,Jenny was totally absentminded,
with her hands holding the necklace tightly and
firmly. When the story came to an end,unex
pectedly,Jenny offered her beloved necklace
to her father,with her fingers trembling auto
matically. No one knew what the necklace
meant to her. She whispered to her father
,
—342—
softly and gently,“Daddy,you know I love
you more than the necklace.”Then,the neck
lace slid into her fathers hands determinedly.
Holding the plastic pearl his daughter of
fered,the father dragged out a blue box. Much
to Jennys amazement,a beautiful real pearl
necklace lay peacefully in the box,which set
her heart racing. Jenny froze there,a thrilled
expression twisting her face. Before Jenny was
able to say something,her father brushed a
warm kiss on her face and gathered her into his
arms. Holding the genuine necklace in her
hand,Jenny lifted her lip,tears beginning to
blur her vision.
