Every Christmas, Hovis’ family would drive from DeKalb to Rochelle, where she and her mom would join her grandma in the kitchen. The rest of the family would hang out in the living room where they could smell the sweet treats as they waited to bite into the crispy cookies. Grandma died when she was 13, but the krumkake tradition didn’t end then. This Christmas, Hovis is headed to her aunt’s house where she plans to make krumkake with her two nephews (侄子). “I’ll be able to share that with them and tell them the story of their great-grandmother,” Hovis said. “Hopefully they will have an interest in continuing that ... so the recipe and the tradition can carry on.” Krumkake Ingredients ● 3/4 cup sugar ● 1 cup flour ● 3 eggs ● 1 teaspoon vanilla ● 1 cup heavy whipping cream ● a little of salt Instructions ● Stir sugar and eggs well. ● Add half the cream to the sugar and egg mixture and mix well. ● Mix in the flour and stir until very smooth, then add the rest of the ingredients. Keep the mixture thin enough so that it spreads easily when poured. ● Pour on a very hot iron and press until browned. Bake each side of the cookie for about 30 seconds. ● Remove and immediately roll onto a stick until cool. A knife or a fork comes in handy to help you get the cookie off the iron. Enjoy! 1. What is Hovis’ family tradition at Christmas? A. Dining out. B. Travelling around. C. Hanging out. D. Enjoying cookies. 2. What do we know about the ingredients? A. Five ingredients are needed. B. More flour than sugar should be added. C. Vanilla and cream are of the same amount. D. They should be exactly measured. 3. What may lead to a successful krumkake? A. Add the cream before stirring sugar and eggs. B. Keep the mixture thin enough to spread. C. Bake the cookie for about 30 seconds. D. Use a knife to cut it into pieces. 【答案】1. D 2. B 3.

It’s not the house that is, special, but rather the person who lives inside, I met Jenny about 45 years ago when she was my sister’s kindergarten teacher. I remember looking into her classroom, wishing I were her student. Jenny created a safe place where we could be whatever we wanted to be during the time. My parents told me I could start school when I was 4. However, when I turned 4iin the spring, I couldn’t understand why I had to wait until: September. For as long as I can remember, I always wanted to be a teacher. When I graduated, I couldn’t wait to invite Jenny to my classroom. She arrived one day, and I saw joy on my students’ faces when they sang the same songs I sang with her as a child. As a new teacher, I was amazed at how she connected with children. For years, Jenny volunteered in my classroom. Over the years we have shared each other’s ups and downs. She asks me for updates about my family and friends, and she tells me about hers. I am here for her no was the time to sell her house is near. I bring up boxes from her basement. We go through every painting a student has given to her, every thank-you note a parent has written and her teaching aids. I find papers featuring the letters of the alphabet. I find my own name printed in a green card. Suddenly, my mind goes back to Room 3. More than 40 years ago, Jenny sat on the carpet at her feet. We learned about the letters and their sounds. Now, Jenny sits on her rocking chair, and I find myself sitting at her feet. Over tea, we talk for hours. I listen carefully because I know I still have more to learn from her.

The lucky ones get to see what their students have done with their lives. The exceptional ones never leave their students’ hearts. 4. How can we best describe Jenny? A. Skilled in her teaching but impatient with her students sometimes. B. Considerate and often paying a visit to the parents of her students. C. Easy-going and good at communicating with her students.

B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了作者和珍妮之间的特殊友谊。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“Jenny created a safe place where we could be whatever we wanted to be during the time. (珍妮创造了一个安全的地方，在那里我们可以成为我们想成为的任何人。)”及“She arrived one day, and I saw joy on my students’ faces when they sang the same songs I sang with her as a child. As a new teacher, I was amazed at how she connected with children. (有一天她来了，我看到我的学生唱着我小时候和她一起唱的歌时，脸上露出了喜悦。作为一名新老师，我对她与孩子们的联系感到惊讶。)”可知，可知，Jenny营造了一个让孩子们感到安全的环境，并且擅长与学生建立联系。这说明她性格随和，善于沟通。故选C项。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“Over the years we have shared each other’s ups and downs. She asks me for updates about my family and friends, and she tells me about hers. (多年来，我们分享了彼此的风风雨雨。她问我关于我的家人和朋友的最新情况，她告诉我她的。)”可知，多年来作者和Jenny一直分享彼此的喜怒哀乐，互相关心彼此的生活。故选C项。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“I am here for her now as the time to sell her house is near. I bring up boxes from her basement. (我来这里是为了她，不，卖掉她房子的时间快到了。我从她的地下室拿出箱子。)”可知，Jenny的房子即将出售，作者在帮助她整理地下室的箱子。故选A项。 【7题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“The lucky ones get to see what their students have done with their lives. (幸运的人可以看到他们的学生在他们的生活中做了什么。)”可知，幸运的教师能看到学生们生活中的成就和经历。故选B项。 C Three paralysed (瘫痪的) men, who were told they would spend the rest of their lives in a wheelchair, are able to walk again, thanks to an electrical device, which was placed around the men’s spines (脊柱) and boosted signals from their brains to their legs. The first patient to be treated was 30-year-old Swiss man David M’zee, who suffered a severe spinal injury several years ago in a sporting accident. David’s doctor said he would never walk again. However, thanks to the electrical device developed by a team at a public research university in Lausanne, Switzerland, he agreed to take part in a trial led by Dr. Courtine at the university. “I came with my daughter, Charlotte, who was one month old at the time. As we approached David, he looked her in the eye and said, ‘I will walk before you,’” Dr Courtine recalls. “When Charlotte took her first step she was 14 months old, by which time David was walking by Lake Geneva. He said to her, ‘I have beaten you.’” David can now walk up to eight paces when the device is switched off and this is the first time that this has been recorded in a chronic (慢性的) spinal injury. However, out of the lab, in the real world, it is hard for David to walk more than a few paces. The signals from the device soon become uncomfortable and so can’t be used all the time. The system is also expensive and not reliable enough to be used out of the laboratory for day-to-day use, so it’s far from a cure. David is the first of three patients who have benefited from the first wave of the treatment. Two other men have also managed to walk again, to various degrees. The researchers plan to begin larger trials in Europe and the US in the next few years. If these go well, the researchers are confident the system could become more widely available. 8. How does the electrical device help the paralysed walk again? A. By straightening the spines. B. By making the brains recover. C. By signaling the legs to move. D. By making use of a wheelchair. 9. Why does Dr. Courtine mention his daughter? A. To point out David’s weakness. B. To explain David’s failure to walk. C. To show the speed of David’s recovery. D. To prove his daughter’s athletic ability. 10. What is the problem with the device? A. It is hard for typical patients to operate. B. It is unreliable when used out of the lab. C. It always makes patients uncomfortable. D. It sometimes sends wrong signals to legs. 11. What can we infer from the last paragraph? A. The device can cure paralysis. B. The device has been widely used. C. The device will be tested globally. D. The device has a potential market. 【答案】8. C 9. C 10. B 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了一种新型的电子设备如何帮助瘫痪患者恢复行走能力，以及这项技术的现状和未来展望。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“thanks to an electrical device, which was placed around the men’s spines (脊柱) and boosted signals from their brains to their legs. (多亏了一个电子设备，它被放置在患者的脊柱周围，并增强了大脑到腿部的信号。)”可知，这个电子设备是对腿部发出信号，支持腿活动， C项“通过指示腿部移动”符合题意。故选C项。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“he looked her in the eye and said, ‘I will walk before you,’ 他看着她的眼睛说，“我会在你之前走路。”)”以及“by which time David was walking by Lake Geneva. He said to her, ‘I have beaten you.’ (到那时，David已经在日内瓦湖边走路了。他对她说，“我已经打败了你。”)”可知，Dr. Courtine列举他女儿作为例子的原因是为了展示David的康复速度，C项“展示David恢复的速度”符合题意。故选C项。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“The signals from the device soon become uncomfortable and so can’t be used all the time. (设备发出的信号很快就会变得不舒服，所以不能一直使用。)”和“The system is also expensive and not reliable enough to be used out of the laboratory for day-to-day use(这个系统也很昂贵，并且不够可靠，不能在实验室外日常使用)”可知，这表明设备在实验室外使用时存在可靠性问题。B项“在实验室外使用时不可靠”符合题意。故选B项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“The researchers plan to begin larger trials in Europe and the US in the next few years. If these go well, the researchers are confident the system could become more widely available. (研究人员计划在未来几年在欧洲和美国开始更大规模的试验。如果这些试验进展顺利，研究人员相信这项系统可能会更广泛地得到应用。)”可知，这项设备具有潜在的市场前景。D项“设备具有潜在市场”符合题意。故选D项。 D For so long, failure has been pictured as something negative, something to be ashamed of and something to be kept a secret. But a Swedish psychologist, Samuel West, has decided to put our worst fears on the table. He is opening a museum -- the Museum of Failure -- in Helsingborg, Sweden, this June. Instead of showing successes as museums usually do, the Museum of Failure will display over 60 “failed” products from big-name companies such as Nokia, Apple and Coca-Cola. “I really hope you see that these mega-brands that everybody respects, they screw up too,” West told The New York Times. “I hope that makes you feel less nervous about learning something new.” West’s opinion isn’t a new one. Albert Einstein once said, “A person who never made a mistake never tried anything new.” And this idea has been embraced by lots of companies in the US. Silicon Valley, for example, is the home of some of the world’s most creative companies, yet its slogan turns out to be, quite surprisingly, “Fail fast, fail often.” However, there are reasons for this. “The best companies are those that encourage failure, embrace out-of-the-box thinking, and allow employers to make mistakes and see what happens,” wrote Simon Casuto of Forbes. But some people are doubtful of this so-called “culture of failure”. They are worried that if failure becomes a “symbol of honor”, as Wired magazine put it, it may even be seen as “uncool” when someone tries to reduce the risk of failure. This may push people to care too little and try too little. “Sometimes people hid behind failure, when they could have prevented it,” wrote Anna Isaac of The Telegraph. So it’s important that you set apart the two kinds of failure—the kind that makes you a loser and the kind that takes you forward. The key is whether you’ve learned something from your mistakes. “Learning is the only process that turns failure into success.” West said The Guardian.” If you don’t learn from your failures, then you’ve really failed.” 12. What does the underlined phrase “screw up” in the second paragraph mean? A. Make a profit. B. Make a mess. C. Make a highlight. D. Make a risk. 13. What messages does the slogan “Fail fast, fail often.” convey? A. The more failure, the better. B. Accept failure, and try new things. C. The more you fail, the less success you achieve. D. Failure is more important than success. 14. Which magazine shows doubt about the culture of failure? A. The New York Times. B. Forbes. C. Wired. D. The Guardian. 15. What’s West’s opinion about failure? A. Failure’s value lies in learning from it. B. If you fail, you are a loser. C. It’s not necessary to try to reduce the risk of failure. D. Failure is the key to put you forward. 【答案】12. B 13. B 14. C 15. A 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章讲述了长久以来，失败被描绘成一种消极的东西，一种令人羞愧的东西，一种需要保守秘密的东西。但瑞典心理学家塞缪尔·韦斯特(Samuel West)决定将我们最担心的问题摆到桌面上。今年6月，他将在瑞典的赫尔辛堡开设一家博物馆——失败博物馆。 【12题详解】 词句猜测题。根据文章第二段“Instead of showing successes, as museums usually do, the Museum of Failure will display over 60 “failed” products from big-name companies such as Nokia, Apple and Coca-Cola.（与博物馆通常展示成功产品的做法不同，“失败博物馆”将展示60多件来自诺基亚、苹果和可口可乐等知名公司的“失败”产品。）”可推知，划线词所在句子““I really hope you see that these mega-brands that everybody respects, they screw up too,” West told The New York Times.”意为“韦斯特在接受《纽约时报》采访时表示:“我真的希望你能看到，这些人人尊敬的大品牌也会搞砸。””由此可知，screw up意为“搞成一团糟”。故选B。 【13题详解】 词句猜测题。根据文章第二段““I hope that makes you feel less nervous about learning something new.”（“我希望这能让你在学习新东西时不那么紧张。”）”和文章第三段“West’s opinion isn’t a new one. Albert Einstein once said, “A person who never made a mistake never tried anything new.” And this idea has been embraced by lots of companies in the US.（韦斯特的观点并不新鲜。阿尔伯特·爱因斯坦曾经说过:“一个从不犯错的人，从来没有尝试过任何新鲜事物。”这个想法已经被很多美国公司所接受。）”可知，此处要表达的观点是要接受失败，并接受新的事物。“Fail fast, fail often.”意为“接受失败，尝试新事物”。故选B。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第五段“But some people are doubtful of this so-called “culture of failure”. They are worried that if failure becomes a “symbol of honor”, as Wired magazine put it, it may even be seen as “uncool” when someone tries to reduce the risk of failure.（但有些人对这种所谓的“失败文化”表示怀疑。正如《连线》杂志所言，他们担心，如果失败成为“荣誉的象征”，那么试图降低失败风险的人甚至会被视为“不酷”。）”可知，Wired杂志对失败的文化表示怀疑。故选C。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段““Learning is the only process that turns failure into success.” West said The Guardian.” If you don’t learn from your failures, then you’ve really failed.”（ “学习是从失败走向成功的唯一过程。”韦斯特说。如果你不从失败中吸取教训，那你就真的失败了。”）”可推知，West认为失败的价值在于从中吸取教训。故选A。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Your carbon footprint is the amount of greenhouse gases that you produce as you live your life. In order to hold the global temperature rise to 2˚C or less everyone needs to average an annual carbon footprint of 1.87 tons by 2050. ____16____ Eat low on the food chain. This means eating mostly fruits, vegetables, grains, and beans. Meat and dairy is responsible for 14.5 percent of man-made global greenhouse gas emissions. ____17____ If you have no meat or dairy every day, you can reduce your carbon footprint by 8 pounds. ____18____ Fashionable, cheap items go out of style quickly and get dumped in landfills where they produce methane (甲烷) as they decompose. Currently, the average American gets rid of about 80 pounds of clothing annually. In addition, most fast fashion comes from Asia, so shipping it to the U.S. requires the use of fossil fuels. Use low energy appliances. Replace traditional light bulbs with LED ones. Though LEDs cost more, they use a quarter of the energy and last up to 25 times longer. Make energy efficiency a primary consideration when choosing a new microwave, air conditioning unit, dishwasher, or refrigerator. ____19____ Choose green travel. An average car produces about five tons of carbon each year. ____20____Take public buses, carpool, or bike to your destination when possible. This not only reduces CO₂ emissions, it also lessens traffic jams. A. Don’t buy fast fashion. B. Never choose quality clothing. C. But people ignore this serious problem. D. Making changes in transport matters much. E. Here are ways to reduce your carbon footprint. F. They are mainly from food production and processing. G.

D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，文章介绍了减少个人碳足迹的方法，包括低食物链饮食、避免快时尚、使用节能电器、选择绿色出行方式，以应对全球变暖问题。 【16题详解】 根据上文“In order to hold the global temperature rise to 2˚C or less, everyone needs to average an annual carbon footprint of 1.87 tons by 2050. (为了将全球气温上升控制在2摄氏度或以下，到2050年，每个人需要平均每年的碳足迹为1.87吨。)”可知，这是在介绍全球变暖问题和个人碳足迹的目标，所以正确答案是 E 以下是减少你的碳足迹的方法。)，承接上文碳足迹这一话题。故选E项。 【17题详解】 根据上文“Meat and dairy is responsible for 14.5 percent of man-made global greenhouse gas emissions. (肉类和乳制品占人造全球温室气体排放的14.5%。)”可知，肉类和乳制品对温室气体排放有显著影响，所以正确答案是 F (它们主要来自食品生产和加工。)，解释了肉类和乳制品对温室气体排放有很大影响的原因。故选F项。 【18题详解】 根据下文“Fashionable, cheap items go out of style quickly and get dumped in landfills where they produce methane (甲烷) as they decompose. (时尚便宜的商品很快就会过时，被丢弃在垃圾填埋场，在那里它们分解时会产生甲烷。)”可知，快时尚商品的快速更迭和对环境的影响，所以正确答案是 A (不要购买快时尚。)，下文解释了原因，故选A项。 【19题详解】 根据上文“Make energy efficiency a primary consideration when choosing a new microwave, air conditioning unit, dishwasher, or refrigerator. (在选择新的微波炉、空调、洗碗机或冰箱时，应将能效作为主要考虑因素。)”可知，选择电器时应优先考虑能效，因此正确答案是 G (带有ENERGY STAR标志的产品效率更高。)，是对节能电器的举例说明，故选G项。 【20题详解】 根据上文“An average car produces about five tons of carbon each year. (一辆普通汽车每年大约产生五吨碳。)”可知，汽车对碳排放的贡献很大，所以正确答案是 D (改变交通方式非常重要。)，承接了上文交通方式这一话题，故选D项。 第三部分语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 A boy aged 11 who let his hair grow to almost a foot and a half long, finally got a ____21____ after more than three years.

Suddenly a crow (乌鸦) landed on their window. The father asked his son, “What is this?” The son replied, “It is a crow.” After a few minutes, the father asked his son for the second time, “What is this? The son said, “Father, I told you just now. It’s a crow.” After a little while, the father asked his son the same question for the third time, “What is this?” At this time, some expression of anger was felt in the son’s tone when he said to his father. “It’s a crow, a crow.” A little while later, the father again asked his son for the fourth time, “What is this?” This time his son shouted at his father, “Why do you keep asking me the same question again and again although I have told you so many times ‘IT IS A CROW’? Are you not able to understand this?” A minute later the father went to his room and came back with a diary, which he had kept since his son was born. On opening a page, he asked his son to read that page: Today my little son aged three was sitting with me on the sofa when a crow suddenly landed on the window. My son asked me 23 times what it was, and I replied to him all 23 times that it was a crow. I hugged him lovingly each time he asked me the same question. I didn’t at all feel angry, but instead felt affection for my innocent son. Paragraph 1: After reading the diary, the son was filled with tears and began to reflect on the days when he used to sit together with his father. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Feeling ashamed, the son got down on his knees before his father. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 After reading the diary, the son was filled with tears and began to reflect on the days when he used to sit together with his father. His father would patiently answer the same question all 23 times without feeling irritation while his father asked him the same question just 4 times! The son thought to himself: If I attain old age, how will my son look at me? Will he think of me as a burden? Will he shout at me because of my poor sight, poor hearing or poor understanding? Feeling ashamed, the son got down on his knees before his father. He made an apology to his father, begging his father to forgive him for his bad behavior. He said aloud, “I promise to make you happy forever, Dad. It is you who have cared for me ever since I was a little child, showering your selfless affection on me. You worked hard to make money so that I could afford to go to university. I will serve you in the best way.” 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，文章讲述了一位80岁老父亲在向45岁的儿子问了四次同样的问题后，儿子变得不耐烦甚至恼怒，老父亲拿出以前的日记本给儿子看，儿子读完其中一页日记后，儿子回想起自己小时候同一个问题问了23遍，父亲仍然耐心解释。因此儿子感到愧疚，向父亲道歉，希望父亲原谅他。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“看完日记，儿子热泪盈眶，回忆起和父亲坐在一起的日子。”可知，本段应首先描写儿子读完日记的感悟与反思，回想过去和父亲在一起的日子，父亲耐心地教自己。再结合续写第二段提示语可知，儿子反思自己的行为，感到羞愧。 ②由第二段首句内容“儿子羞愧地跪在父亲面前。”可知，第二段首先要描写儿子向父亲道歉，请求父亲的原谅。结合作者的反思和读后续写正向发展原则可知，父亲原谅了儿子，儿子也许诺赡养父亲。 2.续写线索：小时候父亲耐心教儿子——儿子反思自己行为并感到愧疚——向父亲道歉，请求原谅——许诺赡养父亲 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①开始：began/started/initiate ②大喊：shout/yell/bawl/exclaim ③承诺：promise/commit/make a commitment/give one’s word 情绪类 ①热泪盈眶：be filled with tears/cry one’s eyes out/tears well up in one’s eyes ②道歉：made an apology/apologized to sb./said sorry to sb. 【点睛】[高分句型1] His father would patiently answer the same question all 23 times without feeling irritation while his father asked him the same question just 4 times!

It’s not the house that is, special, but rather the person who lives inside, I met Jenny about 45 years ago when she was my sister’s kindergarten teacher. I remember looking into her classroom, wishing I were her student. Jenny created a safe place where we could be whatever we wanted to be during the time. My parents told me I could start school when I was 4. However, when I turned 4iin the spring, I couldn’t understand why I had to wait until: September. For as long as I can remember, I always wanted to be a teacher. When I graduated, I couldn’t wait to invite Jenny to my classroom. She arrived one day, and I saw joy on my students’ faces when they sang the same songs I sang with her as a child. As a new teacher, I was amazed at how she connected with children. For years, Jenny volunteered in my classroom. Over the years we have shared each other’s ups and downs. She asks me for updates about my family and friends, and she tells me about hers. I am here for her no was the time to sell her house is near. I bring up boxes from her basement. We go through every painting a student has given to her, every thank-you note a parent has written and her teaching aids. I find papers featuring the letters of the alphabet. I find my own name printed in a green card. Suddenly, my mind goes back to Room 3. More than 40 years ago, Jenny sat on the carpet at her feet. We learned about the letters and their sounds. Now, Jenny sits on her rocking chair, and I find myself sitting at her feet. Over tea, we talk for hours. I listen carefully because I know I still have more to learn from her. Our friendship is one that neither one of us expected. Educators know teaching is a profession devoted to the development of young individuals. The lucky ones get to see what their students have done with their lives. The exceptional ones never leave their students’ hearts. 4. How can we best describe Jenny? A. Skilled in her teaching but impatient with her students sometimes. B. Considerate and often paying a visit to the parents of her students. C. Easy-going and good at communicating with her students. D. Generous and ready to help poor students. 5. What can we infer about the author and her teacher from the text？ A. They are unwilling to visit each other. B. They usually have nothing new to share. C They are always concerned with each other. D. They have lost contact with each other by now. 6. Why does the author take boxes from Jenny’s basement? A. Jenny’s house is to be sold. B. Jenny wants to find her teaching aids. C. Jenny expects to show her achievements in education. D. Jenny intends to offer the papers with the letters to the author. 7. What kinds of educators can be called fortunate ones? A. Those who can be devoted to the development of young individuals. B. Those who can see how their students experience their lives. C. Those who can be appreciated for their hard work. D. Those who can get in touch with their students. C Three paralysed (瘫痪的) men, who were told they would spend the rest of their lives in a wheelchair, are able to walk again, thanks to an electrical device, which was placed around the men’s spines (脊柱) and boosted signals from their brains to their legs. The first patient to be treated was 30-year-old Swiss man David M’zee, who suffered a severe spinal injury several years ago in a sporting accident. David’s doctor said he would never walk again. However, thanks to the electrical device developed by a team at a public research university in Lausanne, Switzerland, he agreed to take part in a trial led by Dr. Courtine at the university. “I came with my daughter, Charlotte, who was one month old at the time. As we approached David, he looked her in the eye and said, ‘I will walk before you,’” Dr Courtine recalls. “When Charlotte took her first step she was 14 months old, by which time David was walking by Lake Geneva. He said to her, ‘I have beaten you.’” David can now walk up to eight paces when the device is switched off and this is the first time that this has been recorded in a chronic (慢性的) spinal injury. However, out of the lab, in the real world, it is hard for David to walk more than a few paces. The signals from the device soon become uncomfortable and so can’t be used all the time. The system is also expensive and not reliable enough to be used out of the laboratory for day-to-day use, so it’s far from a cure. David is the first of three patients who have benefited from the first wave of the treatment. Two other men have also managed to walk again, to various degrees. The researchers plan to begin larger trials in Europe and the US in the next few years. If these go well, the researchers are confident the system could become more widely available. 8. How does the electrical device help the paralysed walk again? A. By straightening the spines. B. By making the brains recover. C. By signaling the legs to move. D. By making use of a wheelchair. 9. Why does Dr. Courtine mention his daughter? A. To point out David’s weakness. B. To explain David’s failure to walk. C. To show the speed of David’s recovery. D. To prove his daughter’s athletic ability. 10. What is the problem with the device? A. It is hard for typical patients to operate. B. It is unreliable when used out of the lab. C. It always makes patients uncomfortable. D. It sometimes sends wrong signals to legs. 11. What can we infer from the last paragraph? A. The device can cure paralysis. B. The device has been widely used. C. The device will be tested globally. D. The device has a potential market. D For so long, failure has been pictured as something negative, something to be ashamed of and something to be kept a secret. But a Swedish psychologist, Samuel West, has decided to put our worst fears on the table. He is opening a museum -- the Museum of Failure -- in Helsingborg, Sweden, this June. Instead of showing successes, as museums usually do, the Museum of Failure will display over 60 “failed” products from big-name companies such as Nokia, Apple and Coca-Cola. “I really hope you see that these mega-brands that everybody respects, they screw up too,” West told The New York Times. “I hope that makes you feel less nervous about learning something new.” West’s opinion isn’t a new one. Albert Einstein once said, “A person who never made a mistake never tried anything new.” And this idea has been embraced by lots of companies in the US. Silicon Valley, for example, is the home of some of the world’s most creative companies, yet its slogan turns out to be, quite surprisingly, “Fail fast, fail often.” However, there are reasons for this. “The best companies are those that encourage failure, embrace out-of-the-box thinking, and allow employers to make mistakes and see what happens,” wrote Simon Casuto of Forbes. But some people are doubtful of this so-called “culture of failure”. They are worried that if failure becomes a “symbol of honor”, as Wired magazine put it, it may even be seen as “uncool” when someone tries to reduce the risk of failure. This may push people to care too little and try too little. “Sometimes people hid behind failure, when they could have prevented it,” wrote Anna Isaac of The Telegraph.

Suddenly a crow (乌鸦) landed on their window. The father asked his son, “What is this?” The son replied, “It is a crow.” After a few minutes, the father asked his son for the second time, “What is this? The son said, “Father, I told you just now. It’s a crow.” After a little while, the father asked his son the same question for the third time, “What is this?” At this time, some expression of anger was felt in the son’s tone when he said to his father. “It’s a crow, a crow.” A little while later, the father again asked his son for the fourth time, “What is this?” This time his son shouted at his father “Why do you keep asking me the same question again and again although I have told you so many times ‘IT IS A CROW’? Are you not able to understand this?” A minute later the father went to his room and came back with a diary, which he had kept since his son was born. On opening a page, he asked his son to read that page: Today my little son aged three was sitting with me on the sofa when a crow suddenly landed on the window. My son asked me 23 times what it was, and I replied to him all 23 times that it was a crow. I hugged him lovingly each time he asked me the same question. I didn’t at all feel angry, but instead felt affection for my innocent son. Paragraph 1: After reading the diary, the son was filled with tears and began to reflect on the days when he used to sit together with his father. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Feeling ashamed, the son got down on his knees before his father. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
