请认真阅读下列材料,从材料后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中,选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
A man was walking through an elephant camp and found that the elephants weren’t being kept in cages or held by chains. All that was holding them back from escaping the camp was a small piece of rope(绳子)— tied to one of their legs.
As the man looked at the elephants, he couldn’t understand it. Why didn’t the elephants just use their strength to break the rope and escape? They could easily have done so, but instead, they didn’t try at all.
Wanting to know the answer, he asked a trainer nearby why the elephants were just standing there and never tried to escape.
“When they were very young and much smaller, we used the same size of rope to tie them, and at that age, it was enough to hold them. As they grew up, they still believed they couldn’t break away. They believed the rope could still hold them, so they never tried to break free,” the trainer answered.
The man was speechless. These animals could have broken free whenever they wanted, but it was just because over time, they had the belief that it just wasn’t possible.
How many of us go through life like the elephants—holding onto the belief that we cannot do something simply because we failed at it once or some times before?
Failure is part of learning. If we failed once or a few times, it doesn’t mean we can never succeed. We should never give up trying when we experience failures in life.
1. What was used to keep the elephants from escaping?
A. Heavy chains. B. Wooden cages. C. Small rope. D. Metal boxes.
2. Why didn’t the elephants try to break free?
A. Because they were afraid of the trainers. B. Because there was no way to escape.
C. Because the rope was too hard to break. D. Because they didn’t believe they could break free.
3. What can we learn from the story?
A. Elephants are clever animals. B. We should trust our trainers.
C. Animals should be treated kindly. D. Past failures don’t mean future failures.
B

One of the world’s most dangerous sports is mountain climbing, and one of the most popular places for this is the Himalayas. The Himalayas run along the southwestern part of China. Of all the mountains, Qomolangma rises the highest and is the most famous. It is 8,848.86 meters high and so is very dangerous to climb. Thick clouds cover the top and snow can fall very hard. Even more serious difficulties include freezing weather conditions and heavy storms. It is also very hard to take in air as you get near the top.
The first people to reach the top were Tenzing Norgay and Edmund Hillary on May 29, 1953. The first Chinese team did so in 1960, while the first woman to succeed was Junko Tabei from Japan in 1975.
Why do so many climbers risk their lives? One of the main reasons is that people want to challenge themselves in the face of difficulties. The spirit of these climbers shows us that we should never give up trying to achieve our dreams. It also shows that humans can sometimes be stronger than the forces of nature.

三、阅读理解(共20小题;每小题1分,满分20分)
请认真阅读下列材料,从材料后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中,选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
A man was walking through an elephant camp and found that the elephants weren’t being kept in cages or held by chains. All that was holding them back from escaping the camp was a small piece of rope(绳子)— tied to one of their legs.
As the man looked at the elephants, he couldn’t understand it. Why didn’t the elephants just use their strength to break the rope and escape? They could easily have done so, but instead, they didn’t try at all.
Wanting to know the answer, he asked a trainer nearby why the elephants were just standing there and never tried to escape.
“When they were very young and much smaller, we used the same size of rope to tie them, and at that age, it was enough to hold them. As they grew up, they still believed they couldn’t break away. They believed the rope could still hold them, so they never tried to break free,” the trainer answered.
The man was speechless. These animals could have broken free whenever they wanted, but it was just because over time, they had the belief that it just wasn’t possible.
How many of us go through life like the elephants—holding onto the belief that we cannot do something simply because we failed at it once or some times before?
Failure is part of learning. If we failed once or a few times, it doesn’t mean we can never succeed. We should never give up trying when we experience failures in life.
1. What was used to keep the elephants from escaping?
A. Heavy chains. B. Wooden cages. C. Small rope. D. Metal boxes.
2. Why didn’t the elephants try to break free?
A. Because they were afraid of the trainers. B. Because there was no way to escape.
C. Because the rope was too hard to break. D. Because they didn’t believe they could break free.
3. What can we learn from the story?
A. Elephants are clever animals. B. We should trust our trainers.
C. Animals should be treated kindly. D. Past failures don’t mean future failures.
【答案】1. C 2. D 3. D
【导语】本文通过大象被小绳子束缚却从不尝试挣脱的故事,告诉我们不应因过去的失败就放弃尝试,失败不代表永远无法成功。
1. 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“All that was holding them back from escaping…was a small piece of rope”可知,阻止大象逃跑的仅仅是一根小绳子。
2. 细节理解题。根据文章第四段trainer的回答“As they grew up, they still believed they couldn’t break away…so they never tried to break free”可知,大象不尝试挣脱是因为它们长大后仍然相信自己无法做到。
3. 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Failure is part of learning. If we failed once or a few times, it doesn’t mean we can never succeed”可知,文章旨在告诉我们过去的失败并不意味着未来也会失败,不应放弃尝试。

四、请认真阅读下面材料,用英语回答材料后的问题。(共5小题;每小题1分,满分5分)
One of the world’s most dangerous sports is mountain climbing, and one of the most popular places for this is the Himalayas. The Himalayas run along the southwestern part of China. Of all the mountains, Qomolangma rises the highest and is the most famous. It is 8,848.86 meters high and so is very dangerous to climb. Thick clouds cover the top and snow can fall very hard. Even more serious difficulties include freezing weather conditions and heavy storms. It is also very hard to take in air as you get near the top.
The first people to reach the top were Tenzing Norgay and Edmund Hillary on May 29, 1953. The first Chinese team did so in 1960, while the first woman to succeed was Junko Tabei from Japan in 1975.
Why do so many climbers risk their lives? One of the main reasons is that people want to challenge themselves in the face of difficulties. The spirit of these climbers shows us that we should never give up trying to achieve our dreams. It also shows that humans can sometimes be stronger than the forces of nature.
