People are always afraid of making mistakes (错误). But sometimes it’s not bad to make mistakes, and here is why.
At first, mistakes are a clear sign that you are trying new things. It’s always good to try new things, because when you are trying new things you are growing. If you never try new things, how can you improve? How can you create (创造)? The simple answer is, “You can’t.” Look around you, everything you see is the result of someone trying new things.
Another good thing about mistakes is this: when you are making mistakes, you are learning. Consider this: Edison failed 10,000 times before he invented the light bulb. When he was asked how he felt to fail that many times, he said that he hadn’t failed 10,000 times, but rather had learned 10,000 things that didn’t work.
Finally, when you make a mistake, you are much closer to success. Why? Because you have said what you should say, and you have done what you should do. Every time you make a mistake, you are closer to success. But it doesn’t mean that you can make mistakes without thinking. Instead, when you try new things you have to think them over, so that you can keep away from some unnecessary mistakes.
There is an old saying, “If you are not making mistakes, you are not trying hard enough.” So go bravely and make mistakes. And learn. And grow. And succeed.
40. If you never try new things, you can’t _______.
A create B. improve C. succeed D. A and B
41. After Edison failed 10,000 times, he _______.
A. gave up B. invented the light bulb
C. invented the computer D. grew
42. When you make a mistake, you are closer to _______.
A. time B. money C. success D. learning
43. What’s the main idea of the passage?
A. Never make mistakes.
B. You can make mistakes without thinking.
C. Sometimes it’s good to make mistakes.
D. You should try to make mistakes.
【答案】40. D 41. B 42. C 43. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了犯错并非总是坏事,阐述了犯错在尝试新事物、学习以及接近成功等方面的积极意义。
【40题详解】
细节理解题。根据“If you never try new things, how can you improve? How can you create (创造)? The simple answer is, ‘You can’t.’”可知,不尝试新事物就无法进步和创造,A和B选项都符合,故选D。
【41题详解】
细节理解题。根据“Edison failed 10,000 times before he invented the light bulb.”可知,爱迪生失败10000次后发明了电灯泡,故选B。

C
Mr. Guo is a teacher from Xi’an. He asked his students to hand in their homework through a QR code (二维码). “We spent an hour or two in class learning how to generate (使产生) the codes, and in the end everything got easier,” said Guo. When students finish the homework, they keep it on WeChat (微信). Then, each student makes his own QR code and gives it to me. So I can check their homework everywhere using my computer or telephone.
Students can send the QR codes to Mr. Guo by e-mail, QQ and WeChat. When Guo scans (扫描) his students’ QR codes, their homework appears on his phone. He finds that their homework becomes more creative with many pictures, music and even videos.
Guo’s students like the new way and think it is interesting. “We are living in the information age. Many students like to work with computers, because it makes learning more fun.” said Tingting, a student of Guo’s.
“The paper is not easy to keep but the code is easy to keep and share,” Guo said. “It is necessary to try to use new technology in education. Education itself is a kind of creation. I don’t want my students to fall behind the times.”
However, some parents are worried. They are afraid that their children will spend too much time on computers and less time communicating with teachers. But in fact, it’s unnecessary. Students still need to look up information in books and write it down when they do their homework. They only use the code when they hand in their homework which doesn’t take them too much time. Also for teachers it allows them to check the students’ homework at any time. And it’s also an easy way to share homework with other students.
44. According to the passage, where can students keep their homework?
A. WeChat. B. QQ. C. E-mail. D. Blog.
45. What does “It” in Paragraph 4 refer to?
A. The paper is not easy to keep.
B. Keeping and sharing the code easily.
C. Trying to use new technology in education.
D. Education itself is a kind of creation.
46. What are some parents worried?
A. Because they think their children will talk with teachers face to face.
B. Because they think their children will spend too much time on computers or phones.
C. Because they think their children will not like the new way of handing in homework.
D. Because they think their children will find the QR codes too difficult to use.
【答案】44. A 45. C 46. B
【解析】

五、任务型阅读。(每小题2分,共10分)
Do you often help the people who are in need?
One day, two boys were walking along the road to school when they saw an old woman carrying a large basket of pears. The old woman looked very tired. They went up and said, “Are you going to town? If you are, we’ll help you carry you basket.” “Thank you,” said the woman. “That’s very kind of you.” Then she told them she was going to the market to sell the pears. So the boys decided to lift the basket together. They walked slowly with the heavy basket, but they were happy.
The other day, I saw a little girl pick up a piece of banana peel (水果皮). She threw it into the dustbin. “I hope nobody would throw that on the street,” she said. “Someone may slip (滑倒) and fall.” Perhaps some people may say that these are not great things. That’s right.

【详解】句意:他想作为一名老师做志愿者,帮助贫困的孩子们。空格处需填动词,want to do sth.“想要做某事”,故用动词原形。结合首字母“v”及语境“help the poor children”,可推断此处表示“自愿做;当志愿者”,对应动词“volunteer”。故填(v)olunteer。
59. I saw a boy ________ (躺) on the floor when I came into the room.
【答案】lying
【解析】
【详解】句意:当我进入房间时,我看到一个男孩躺在地板上。see sb. doing sth.“看到某人正在做某事”,强调进入房间时,动作正在进行。空处填动词ing形式。“躺”用动词lie,ing形式为lying。故填lying。

People are always afraid of making mistakes (错误). But sometimes it’s not bad to make mistakes, and here is why.
At first, mistakes are a clear sign that you are trying new things. It’s always good to try new things, because when you are trying new things you are growing. If you never try new things, how can you improve? How can you create (创造)? The simple answer is, “You can’t.” Look around you, everything you see is the result of someone trying new things.
Another good thing about mistakes is this: when you are making mistakes, you are learning. Consider this: Edison failed 10,000 times before he invented the light bulb. When he was asked how he felt to fail that many times, he said that he hadn’t failed 10,000 times, but rather had learned 10,000 things that didn’t work.
Finally, when you make a mistake, you are much closer to success. Why? Because you have said what you should say, and you have done what you should do. Every time you make a mistake, you are closer to success. But it doesn’t mean that you can make mistakes without thinking. Instead, when you try new things you have to think them over, so that you can keep away from some unnecessary mistakes.
There is an old saying, “If you are not making mistakes, you are not trying hard enough.” So go bravely and make mistakes. And learn. And grow. And succeed.
40. If you never try new things, you can’t _______.
A. create B. improve C. succeed D. A and B
41. After Edison failed 10,000 times, he _______.
A. gave up B. invented the light bulb
C. invented the computer D. grew
42. When you make a mistake you are closer to _______.
A. time B. money C. success D. learning
43. What’s the main idea of the passage?
A. Never make mistakes.
B. You can make mistakes without thinking.
C. Sometimes it’s good to make mistakes.
D. You should try to make mistakes.
C
Mr. Guo is a teacher from Xi’an. He asked his students to hand in their homework through a QR code (二维码). “We spent an hour or two in class learning how to generate (使产生) the codes, and in the end everything got easier,” said Guo. When students finish the homework, they keep it on WeChat (微信). Then, each student makes his own QR code and gives it to me. So I can check their homework everywhere using my computer or telephone.
Students can send the QR codes to Mr. Guo by e-mail, QQ and WeChat. When Guo scans (扫描) his students’ QR codes, their homework appears on his phone. He finds that their homework becomes more creative with many pictures, music and even videos.
Guo’s students like the new way and think it is interesting. “We are living in the information age. Many students like to work with computers, because it makes learning more fun.” said Tingting, a student of Guo’s.
“The paper is not easy to keep, but the code is easy to keep and share,” Guo said. “It is necessary to try to use new technology in education. Education itself is a kind of creation. I don’t want my students to fall behind the times.”
However, some parents are worried. They are afraid that their children will spend too much time on computers and less time communicating with teachers. But in fact, it’s unnecessary. Students still need to look up information in books and write it down when they do their homework. They only use the code when they hand in their homework which doesn’t take them too much time. Also for teachers it allows them to check the students’ homework at any time. And it’s also an easy way to share homework with other students.
44. According to the passage, where can students keep their homework?
A. WeChat. B. QQ. C. E-mail. D. Blog.
45. What does “It” in Paragraph 4 refer to?
A. The paper is not easy to keep.
B Keeping and sharing the code easily.
C. Trying to use new technology in education.
D. Education itself is a kind of creation.
46. What are some parents worried?
A. Because they think their children will talk with teachers face to face.
B. Because they think their children will spend too much time on computers or phones.
C. Because they think their children will not like the new way of handing in homework.
D. Because they think their children will find the QR codes too difficult to use.
五、任务型阅读。(每小题2分,共10分)
Do you often help the people who are in need?
One day, two boys were walking along the road to school when they saw an old woman carrying a large basket of pears. The old woman looked very tired. They went up and said, “Are you going to town? If you are, we’ll help you carry you basket.” “Thank you,” said the woman. “That’s very kind of you.” Then she told them she was going to the market to sell the pears. So the boys decided to lift the basket together. They walked slowly with the heavy basket, but they were happy.
The other day, I saw a little girl pick up a piece of banana peel (水果皮). She threw it into the dustbin. “I hope nobody would throw that on the street,” she said. “Someone may slip (滑倒) and fall.” Perhaps some people may say that these are not great things. That’s right. But almost all great things are made up of (由……组成) such small things. We shouldn’t wait for the time to do great things. We should begin with such small things that are full of love.
