B Most of us are afraid to fail.Our fear of failure isn't surprising.From an early age,we're surrounded by people who value perfection.Parents tell us to bring home A's.Coaches teach us to go for the gold,not the silver or bronze().And om social.medin,people shnre only the coolest parts of their lives.Usually they keep their struggles to themselves. What's so bad about being afraid to fail?It might seem like a "win at everything"attitude would push you to succeed.In reality,it can seriously hold you back.For example,many people get one bad grade on an algebra()test and conclude that they're not smart enough for math. According to experts,that's the wrong way to think.They say failing is good for you.It teaches you to stick with a task even when it gets hard.The ability to do this is called perseverance. To people with perseverance,failure is not a reason to give up.It's a chance to improve.There's one place where failure is surely valucd:technology companies.To the leaders of thesc companies,a failed app or website isn't a problem.It's a chance to build something better next time. Tech leaders have even gathered for events calted FailCons.At FailCons.they leam from ideas that didn't work."Sometimes things just don't go as planned."says the FailCon website."But that doesn't mean 共6页 -you should stop trying." That message got through to a man numed Evan Williams.In 2005,he developed an app called Odeo. Not many people used it It was a big disappointment.But Williams Icarned from his mistnkes and kept working hard.He showed perseverance.And a few years later,he helped create one of the biggest social media sites ever:Twitter 24.Why are people afraid to fail according to the text? A.They believe failure is shameful. B.They do not know how to deal with failure. C.Today's society puts a lot of pressure for success. D.Failure blocks their way to success. 25.Whut are people with persevcrancc most likely to do whon they fail? A.Accept failure. B.Try something new. C.Seek help. D.Keep working hard. 26.Why do tech leaders attend FailCons? A.To design a website. B.To learn from Failure. C.To develop work plans. D.To develop an App. 27.What can we learn from.the example of Evan Williams? A.The secret of success is not to change your goals. B.Winners make it happcn:losers Ict it happen. C.Success comes to those who never give up. D.Failure is a common thing in one's life. c When I woke up,I made myself breakfast,sat and listened to the traffic.Some of my friends asked me how I could stand living somewhere so noisy..It's true that there're always some kinds of noise in my neighborhood,but to me,these are the sounds of life. It was Saturday moming,so I decided to go to the park.The taxi was the fastest way to go but I took the bus instead. When you ride the bus,you get to see so much more of the city.It can be kind of loud on the bus,with some people talking on thetr phones,some peopie chatting with their friends,and others playing music.it's just like the traffic's sounds,though the noise on the bus represents people working,relaxing and living Once I got to the park.I picked a bench over near the play area where kids played while their parents sat nearby.'I could see and hear almost overything from there.People-watching is one of my favorite things to do. However,I like listening even better.The only problem is that there's so much to see and hear in the park! Usually.I like to close my eyes.That way.I can-pay more attentian to the sounds and not get distracted oy what I see.With my eyes closed,I could pick out parts of two old men's conversution.One of them was felling threther about something his grandson said.I couldn't hear the rest,but it must be ailarious because his friend's laugh was so loud. When I'm old.I hope thet I will also have a friend who will sit in the park with me,and who will enjoy listening to the sounds of the city as much as I do. 28.Some of the author's friends think"the sounds of life"are very A.unique B.magical C.interesting D.unpleasant 29.The author took the bus to the park because A.he wanted to see more about people's life B.it was the most convenient way C.his friend advised him to do so D.there was no other transport to go there 30.The author closed his eyes in order to A.hide himself from view B.enjoy the sounds of life C.avoid talking with the two old men D.have a good rest 31.The underlined word"hilarious"in Paragraph 5 probably means" ” A.rather strange B.extremely funny C.truly different D.quite popular D The southwestera United States has experieaced drought for more than 20 years:Arizona has increasingly pumped (water from underground,but that meets less than half of what the state needs. Meanwhile,tens of thousands of new residents arrive every year,and more communitics are built.One report shows thnt a large area near Phoenix doesn't have enough groundwater for all the homes that developers want to build there.That means 800,000 people. Some experts say the solution is to import water from outside the state.One idea is to build a $5.5 billion desalination()plant on Mexico's Sea of Cortez The plant would remove salt from the water and pump that water to Arizona through a 200-mile pipeline.Supporters say this could provide a water supply for decades. Environmentalists see a different future.Some of the salt taken out of the Sea of Cortez might end up back in the ocean,hnrming wildlife.The pipeline would damage land where people and animals live.And the desalinatlon process uses lots of energy.This would create greenhouse gases.the very gases that are causing the conditions that have led.to Arizona's water-poblems. Margaret Wilder is a professor at the University of Arizona,in Tucson.She warns that big projects like this one could be used to show much more unsustainable development in the desert in the future.Moreover, desalinating water would likely be a massive expenditure for Arizonans.Citics pay about S50 to $150 for 326,000 gallons.That's enough for a family of three in Phoenix for a year.Desalinated water could charge 20 times as much. Environmentalists say the govemment should focus on cutting the demand for water rather than increasing the supply.That would mean taking water-saving measures and limiting how many homes are built.Thousands of households in Tucson,Arizona,are collecting rainwater and using it for cooking,drinking, and in thoir gardens.Government leaders have taken notice.Tucson also helps residents pay for equipment that collects rainwater for home use. 32.What is the problem faced by the southwestern United States? A.A waste of resources. B.A water shortage. C.A population increase. D.A serious heatwave. 33.What do environmentalists probably think of the desalination project? A.It would harm the planet from various aspects. B.It fails to take people's basic needs into account. C.It draws people's attention to environmental destruction. D.It provides a-long-term solution to drought. 34.What docs the underlined part"a massive expenditure"in Paragraph 4 mean? A.Unsafe. B.Beneficial. C.Affordable.D.Costly. 35.What can be inferred from the last paragraph? APeople are unsatisfied with the govemment's water measures: B.People are cxploring water resources with official support. C.Collecting rainwater is the key to meeting water demands. D.Public concemn about water safety has increased. 第二节共5小题：每小题2.5分，满分.12.5分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最终选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Everybody gets angry,but out-of-control anger isn't good for you or those around you So here are five simple strategies to help you learn how to manage your anger: Relax.Breathe deeply from your stomach.36 Repeat it to yourself and picture a relasing time and experience in your mind. ·Change the way you think.When you're angry,your thinking can get exaggerated(夸大的).yFor instance,instead of telling yourself,"Oh,it's terriblel Everything's ruined,tell yourself,"It's understandable that I'm upset about it,but it's not the end of the world." ·_38_Statements like“This never works.”or“You're always forgetting things..”will make you feel your anger is justified(情有可原的)and there''s no way to solve the problem.They might upset people who might be willing to work with you to find a solution. -Have better communication.Angry people tend to jump to conclusions.If you are in a heated discussion, slow down.39 And take your time before answering.-Instead of saying the first thing that comes into your head,think carefully about what you want to say. Use humor.Psychologists say that highly angry people tend to think"things ought to go my way!""Silly humor"can help you get a more balanced perspective.So,when you feel.that anger comes the next time; picture yourself as a king or queen,walking around,admired by everybody,and getting your own way in every situation.The more detail you can get into your imaginary scenes,the more likely it is to put a smile on your face. 4o 缨 A.Be careful with words like"never"or"always". B.Listen carefully to what the other person is saying C Try replacing these thoughts with more reasonable ones. D.Avoid using these strategies when you're in a tense situation. E.Then slowly repeat a calm word or phrase such as "take it easy". F.Try changing the topics so your talks won't turn into arguments. That will help you realize that the things you're angry about are really not very important 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。 I suffered fom Asperger's at my childhood.Onc of the biggest I faced was communicating with others.I was shy but I loved to read and recite facts.This sometimes made me a 42 for bullies().Ididn't really understand as much about the discase orhow myif.
