Perhaps this sounds crazy, but it’s true. Maybe you have the wrong ideas about invention, so read on to discover the truth. Wrong idea 1: An invention has to be something completely new. Invention means creating something “new”, but the idea could come from something that already exists (存在). The Wright brothers got the idea of building a “flying machine” from watching birds. Wrong idea 2: Inventors are born, not made. There are a lot of factors (因素) that make invention possible. Take Mozart for example. He was born with a talent for musical composition. But other factors were also important for his creativity. His father was a music teacher, and Mozart practiced for hours every day, from the time he was four years old. Thomas Edison said that being an inventor was “99% hard work and 1% inspiration”! Very successful creators don’t give up when they get something wrong. As one inventor said, “A failure is the right answer to the wrong question.” Wrong idea 3: Inventors are always old people. Don’t believe that you can’t invent anything when you are young. Here are two examples of young inventors: Louis Braille went blind when he was a child. When he was fifteen, he invented a system of reading and writing for blind people that is still used in most countries today. As a young man, George Nissen was watching some artists performing in a show. He watched how they fell into the safety net and then jumped back up again. This gave him an idea, and he invented the trampoline (蹦床). 20. The underlined word “inspiration” probably means “________” in Chinese. A. 态度 B. 品质 C. 能量 D. 灵感 21. The writer wants to tell us ________ in Wrong idea 2. A. Mozart is a talented musician B. only one factor that make invention possible C. successful creators keep working hard D. many successful examples 22. Which of the following is the writer’s opinion? A. Inventors are born, not made. B. Anybody can do inventing. C. Inventors are always old people. D. An invention has to be something completely new. 23. The best title for the passage would be “________”. A. How to perform in a show B. Be a composer C. How to help blind people D. Be an inventor 【答案】20. D 21. C 22. B 23. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，文章主要讲述了发明任何人都能做到以及对发明创造的一些错误想法。 【20题详解】 词句猜测题。根据“Thomas Edison said that being an inventor was ‘99% hard work and 1% inspiration’!”可知，文章引用了爱迪生的话，“发明是99%的汗水加1%的灵感”，因此，划线词是“灵感”。故选D。 【21题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Wrong idea 2: Inventors are born, not made.”以及“Mozart practiced for hours every day, from the time he was four years old.”可知，成功的创造者都经过不断的努力，而不是天生的。故选C。 【22题详解】 观点态度题。根据“The biggest secret about invention is that anybody can do it!”可知，任何人都能搞发明。故选B。 【23题详解】 最佳标题题。通读全文，尤其根据“The biggest secret about invention is that anybody can do it! Perhaps this sounds crazy, but it’s true. Maybe you have the wrong ideas about invention, so read on to discover the truth.”可知，文章破除对发明的误解，鼓励读者尝试发明，D选项为最佳标题。故选D。 C The police have many ways of catching criminals. One way of catching them is by fingerprinting. Fingerprinting is the study of the patterns on our fingertips. We have known that no two fingerprints are exactly the same for hundreds of years. However, it wasn’t until 1910 that the first criminal in the USA was convicted (被判有罪) using fingerprint evidence. Early on the morning of September 19, 1910, Hiller’s wife noticed that the light which they usually left on was off. When Hiller went to find out what was happening, he saw a stranger at the top of the stairs. The stranger had broken in and wanted to steal. Hiller and the stranger started to fight, but the stranger had a gun. He shot Hiller twice and ran away. Hiller’s wife ran to Hiller when she heard the gunshots but found him dead. So she called the police. Soon after, the police caught Thomas Jennings, not far from the Hillers’ house. The only problem was no one saw the criminal. However, the police had started using fingerprinting at that time. According to Hiller’s wife, only several hours before Hiller’s death, he had painted some wood near the kitchen window. Then the police checked the wood completely and found some fingerprints in the wet paint. During the trial (审判), the police proved that the fingerprints belonged to Jennings, and he was convicted of Hiller’s murder. Since then, fingerprinting has helped in the conviction of hundreds of thousands of criminals. 24. What helped the police convict the murderer of Hiller? A. B. C. D. 25. Which paragraph shows how Hiller was killed? A. Paragraph 1. B. Paragraph 2. C. Paragraph 3. D. Paragraph 4. 26. What is the right order of the case? ①The stranger shot Hiller twice and ran away. ②Jennings was convicted of Hiller’s murder. ③Hiller saw a stranger at the top of the stairs. ④Hiller painted some wood near the kitchen window. ⑤The police found Jennings’ fingerprints in the wet paint. ⑥The police caught Jennings, not far from the Hillers’ house. A. ③→④→①→⑤→⑥→② B. ③→④→⑤→①→②→⑥ C. ④→③→①→⑤→②→⑥ D. ④→③→①→⑥→⑤→② 27. How does the writer end the passage? A. By drawing a conclusion. B. By providing a surprise ending, C. By leading in a question. D. By showing an endless discussion. 【答案】24. B 25. B 26. D 27. A 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲述了1910年美国出现了第一个使用指纹证据定罪的罪犯，从那以后，指纹识别技术帮助成千上万的罪犯被定罪。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据“During the trial (审判), the police proved that the fingerprints belonged to Jennings, and he was convicted of Hiller’s murder. ”可知，警方通过指纹证据将凶手定罪，故选B。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段的内容“Hiller and the stranger started to fight, but the stranger had a gun. He shot Hiller twice and ran away.”可知，第二段描述了Hiller被杀的过程，故选B。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据“only several hours before Hiller’s death, he had painted some wood near the kitchen window.”“When Hiller went to find out what was happening, he saw a stranger at the top of the stairs.”“He shot Hiller twice and ran away.”“Soon after, the police caught Thomas Jennings, not far from the Hillers’ house.”“Then the police checked the wood completely and found some fingerprints in the wet paint.”以及“During the trial (审判), the police proved that the fingerprints belonged to Jennings, and he was convicted of Hiller’s murder.”可知，正确的顺序是④Hiller在厨房窗户附近刷漆→③Hiller在楼梯顶端看到陌生人→①陌生人开枪射击Hiller两次并逃跑→⑥警方在Hiller家附近抓住Jennings→⑤警方在湿漆中发现Jennings的指纹→②Jennings被判定谋杀Hiller，故选D。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据“Since then, fingerprinting has helped in the conviction of hundreds of thousands of criminals.”可知，最后一段总结了指纹技术在定罪中的重要性，故选A。 D We all want to do things well and for things to turn out right. However, growing up also involves accepting when things go wrong. In fact, messing up can lead to some of the most interesting and meaningful outcomes. Aiming for results, whether that’s getting good school grades, shining in sport or acing an art project, can help you focus on your goals. However, it’s just as important to focus on enjoying the process. Getting too hung up on things turning out exactly as you think they should can put a lot of pressure on you and lead to anxiety (焦虑). That’s why it’s good to leave some room for errors and imperfections. Then if things don’t go as planned, it’s not a big deal and you may learn something new. Dr. Vara is a psychologist (心理学家) who helps people take care of their mental (心理的) health. She says getting things wrong is part of growing up. “We also have to experience the uncomfortable feeling when we get things wrong. This helps us to become stronger,” says Dr. Vara. “Otherwise, we’ll be too scared to make mistakes. This fear can lead to us putting off doing difficult things or avoiding trying new things.” It’s important to realize that making mistakes is common, which shows that it is impossible to be perfect and failure is normal. Learning from your mistakes is an essential part of growing up. The most important thing is how you respond and what you choose to do next. Try not to take it too seriously, blame yourself or feel too disappointed or upset. Dr. Vara explains, “Remember that you’re not a bad person for getting things wrong—you’re human. _________, then these feelings will pass and then you’ll bounce back.” Instead, think about what you might do differently next time. This has been proven to work. In one study, students who were reminded to forgive and be kind to themselves when they failed a test felt more motivated to try again. 28. Which of the following would Dr. Vara agree with? A. Fear leads us to try new things. B. Failure is normal in growing up. C. Good results make us stronger. D. People hardly ever get things wrong. 29. Which of the following can be put in “________” in Paragraph 4? A. Everyone will grow up B. Process is really important C. You should enjoy your feelings D. You might feel uncomfortable at first 30. What’s the best title for the passage? A. Stick to your goals B. Avoid making mistakes C. Imperfection can be a gift D. Pressure is the key to success 【答案】28. B 29. C 30. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章围绕成长过程中如何面对错误与不完美展开，引用心理学家 Dr. Vara 的观点，阐述了犯错是成长的必经之路，失败是正常的，我们应接纳不完美并从中学习，从而获得更有意义的结果。 【28题详解】 根据第三段中“It’s important to realize that making mistakes is common, which shows that it is impossible to be perfect and failure is normal.”可知，Dr. Vara认为犯错是普遍现象，完美是不可能的，失败在成长过程中是正常的。 【29题详解】 根据第四段中“Remember that you’re not a bad person for getting things wrong—you’re human. _________, then these feelings will pass and then you’ll bounce back.”可知，此处Dr. Vara正在给出建议，且后文提到“these feelings”，说明空缺处应涉及如何对待当下的感受，“You should enjoy your feelings”符合建议语气且能与后文逻辑连贯。 【30题详解】 根据第一段中“messing up can lead to some of the most interesting and meaningful outcomes.”及全文内容可推知文章主旨在于说明犯错和不完美也能带来有意义的结果，C项“Imperfection can be a gift”（不完美也可以是一份礼物）准确概括了这一主旨。 第Ⅱ卷（共45分） 三、单词填空。（每小题1分，共计10分） 31.

She is a complete s________ to me. 【答案】(s)tranger 【解析】 【详解】句意：我根本不认识那个女孩。她对我来说完全是个陌生人。根据“I don’t know the girl at all”可知不认识那个女孩，她是一个陌生人，stranger“陌生人”，a后加可数名词单数。故填(s)tranger。 32.

As a Canadian living in China for a year. I wondered ____41____ advice a Chinese writer would give on this matter.

Whenever you ____42____ (give) the chance, for example, when you meet a foreigner, you should practice ____43____ (speak) English with him or her. If the foreigner doesn’t want to answer your questions, then he or she is a(n) ____44____ (polite) person whom you wouldn’t want to spend time with anyway. I thought this advice was not only wrong, ____45____ also might harm the relationship between Chinese and foreigners in China. Like most other “Lao Wai” living in China, I know how lonely one can sometimes feel living in a culture different from his own. However, I simply accept as part of being here. So far, I ____46____ (make) some very close Chinese friends, improved my Chinese language skills and learned about one of the fastest developing ____47____ (country) in the world today. If there is any advice to give on making and keeping friendships with foreigners, I would say that it is this: Treat foreigners as people, not chances. Expect to make friendships step by step, over a period of time, not ____48____ a rush, because real friendships stand the test of time. ____49____ (general) speaking, if _______50_______ (you) only reason for becoming friends with a foreigner is to improve your English, then you will probably find that you don’t have a foreign friend for long. 【答案】41. what 42. are given 43. speaking 44. impolite 45. but 46. have made 47. countries 48. in 49.

That’s because saving creates opportunities and opens the door to all kinds of adventures. The key to successful saving is setting a goal. Get a pen and paper, and write down how much it costs, then work out how much you can afford to save each week and how long it will take you to reach your goal. It’s important to be realistic because you’ll soon get bored if you plan to save every single penny. Some weeks you might decide to save a little more than planned so that you can reach your goals even faster. To avoid accidentally spending your savings, it’s a good idea to keep them separate from the rest of your money. You could do this by using a money box or a savings account (账户). When you save your money in a savings account, you have the opportunity to earn interest. This is money that a bank pays you for leaving the money there— and the longer you leave money in a savings account, the more interest you will earn. Some savings accounts allow you to take out money whenever you like, but some will keep your money locked away for a certain time. Some parents set up a savings account because they want to put some money away for their kids’ future. Once you get the hang of saving, you can set some bigger goals. Perhaps you want to start saving for university, or you’d like to travel the world when you finish school. Remember, you can save for more than one thing at a time, as some of your goals might take months—or even years—to achieve. If you’re new to saving, start off by thinking of some fun goals, like taking a vacation or going to a concert. Every penny you save brings you one step closer to reaching your goal—and what could be more exciting than that? 51.

B The biggest secret about invention is that anybody can do it! Perhaps this sounds crazy, but it’s true. Maybe you have the wrong ideas about invention, so read on to discover the truth. Wrong idea 1: An invention has to be something completely new. Invention means creating something “new”, but the idea could come from something that already exists (存在). The Wright brothers got the idea of building a “flying machine” from watching birds. Wrong idea 2: Inventors are born, not made. There are a lot of factors (因素) that make invention possible. Take Mozart for example. He was born with a talent for musical composition. But other factors were also important for his creativity. His father was a music teacher, and Mozart practiced for hours every day, from the time he was four years old. Thomas Edison said that being an inventor was “99% hard work and 1% inspiration”! Very successful creators don’t give up when they get something wrong. As one inventor said, “A failure is the right answer to the wrong question.” Wrong idea 3: Inventors are always old people. Don’t believe that you can’t invent anything when you are young. Here are two examples of young inventors: Louis Braille went blind when he was a child. When he was fifteen, he invented a system of reading and writing for blind people that is still used in most countries today. As a young man, George Nissen was watching some artists performing in a show. He watched how they fell into the safety net and then jumped back up again. This gave him an idea, and he invented the trampoline (蹦床). 20. The underlined word “inspiration” probably means “________” in Chinese. A. 态度 B. 品质 C. 能量 D. 灵感 21. The writer wants to tell us ________ in Wrong idea 2. A. Mozart is a talented musician B. only one factor that make invention possible C. successful creators keep working hard D. many successful examples 22. Which of the following is the writer’s opinion? A. Inventors are born, not made. B. Anybody can do inventing. C. Inventors are always old people. D. An invention has to be something completely new. 23. The best title for the passage would be “________”. A. How to perform in a show B. Be a composer C. How to help blind people D. Be an inventor C The police have many ways of catching criminals. One way of catching them is by fingerprinting. Fingerprinting is the study of the patterns on our fingertips. We have known that no two fingerprints are exactly the same for hundreds of years. However, it wasn’t until 1910 that the first criminal in the USA was convicted (被判有罪) using fingerprint evidence. Early on the morning of September 19, 1910, Hiller’s wife noticed that the light which they usually left on was off. When Hiller went to find out what was happening, he saw a stranger at the top of the stairs. The stranger had broken in and wanted to steal. Hiller and the stranger started to fight, but the stranger had a gun. He shot Hiller twice and ran away. Hiller’s wife ran to Hiller when she heard the gunshots but found him dead. So she called the police. Soon after, the police caught Thomas Jennings, not far from the Hillers’ house. The only problem was no one saw the criminal. However, the police had started using fingerprinting at that time. According to Hiller’s wife, only several hours before Hiller’s death, he had painted some wood near the kitchen window. Then the police checked the wood completely and found some fingerprints in the wet paint. During the trial (审判), the police proved that the fingerprints belonged to Jennings, and he was convicted of Hiller’s murder. Since then, fingerprinting has helped in the conviction of hundreds of thousands of criminals. 24. What helped the police convict the murderer of Hiller? A. B. C. D. 25. Which paragraph shows how Hiller was killed? A. Paragraph 1. B. Paragraph 2. C. Paragraph 3. D. Paragraph 4. 26. What is the right order of the case? ①The stranger shot Hiller twice and ran away. ②Jennings was convicted of Hiller’s murder. ③Hiller saw a stranger at the top of the stairs. ④Hiller painted some wood near the kitchen window. ⑤The police found Jennings’ fingerprints in the wet paint. ⑥The police caught Jennings, not far from the Hillers’ house. A. ③→④→①→⑤→⑥→② B. ③→④→⑤→①→②→⑥ C. ④→③→①→⑤→②→⑥ D. ④→③→①→⑥→⑤→② 27. How does the writer end the passage? A. By drawing a conclusion. B. By providing a surprise ending, C. By leading in a question. D. By showing an endless discussion. D We all want to do things well and for things to turn out right. However, growing up also involves accepting when things go wrong. In fact, messing up can lead to some of the most interesting and meaningful outcomes. Aiming for results, whether that’s getting good school grades, shining in sport or acing an art project, can help you focus on your goals. However, it’s just as important to focus on enjoying the process. Getting too hung up on things turning out exactly as you think they should can put a lot of pressure on you and lead to anxiety (焦虑). That’s why it’s good to leave some room for errors and imperfections. Then if things don’t go as planned, it’s not a big deal and you may learn something new. Dr. Vara is a psychologist (心理学家) who helps people take care of their mental (心理的) health. She says getting things wrong is part of growing up. “We also have to experience the uncomfortable feeling when we get things wrong. This helps us to become stronger,” says Dr. Vara. “Otherwise, we’ll be too scared to make mistakes. This fear can lead to us putting off doing difficult things or avoiding trying new things.” It’s important to realize that making mistakes is common, which shows that it is impossible to be perfect and failure is normal. Learning from your mistakes is an essential part of growing up. The most important thing is how you respond and what you choose to do next. Try not to take it too seriously, blame yourself or feel too disappointed or upset. Dr. Vara explains, “Remember that you’re not a bad person for getting things wrong—you’re human. _________, then these feelings will pass and then you’ll bounce back.” Instead, think about what you might do differently next time. This has been proven to work. In one study, students who were reminded to forgive and be kind to themselves when they failed a test felt more motivated to try again. 28. Which of the following would Dr. Vara agree with? A. Fear leads us to try new things. B. Failure is normal in growing up. C. Good results make us stronger. D. People hardly ever get things wrong. 29. Which of the following can be put in “________” in Paragraph 4? A. Everyone will grow up B. Process is really important C. You should enjoy your feelings D. You might feel uncomfortable at first 30. What’s the best title for the passage? A. Stick to your goals B. Avoid making mistakes C. Imperfection can be a gift D. Pressure is the key to success 第Ⅱ卷（共45分） 三、单词填空。（每小题1分，共计10分） 31.

As a Canadian living in China for a year. I wondered ____41____ advice a Chinese writer would give on this matter. One piece of advice really caught my attention, I must say, made me feel quite angry. In the writer’s opinion, foreigners are a “chance” to improve your spoken English. Whenever you ____42____ (give) the chance, for example, when you meet a foreigner, you should practice ____43____ (speak) English with him or her. If the foreigner doesn’t want to answer your questions, then he or she is a(n) ____44____ (polite) person whom you wouldn’t want to spend time with anyway. I thought this advice was not only wrong, ____45____ also might harm the relationship between Chinese and foreigners in China. Like most other “Lao Wai” living in China, I know how lonely one can sometimes feel living in a culture different from his own. However, I simply accept as part of being here. So far, I ____46____ (make) some very close Chinese friends, improved my Chinese language skills and learned about one of the fastest developing ____47____ (country) in the world today. If there is any advice to give on making and keeping friendships with foreigners, I would say that it is this: Treat foreigners as people, not chances. Expect to make friendships step by step, over a period of time, not ____48____ a rush, because real friendships stand the test of time. ____49____ (general) speaking, if _______50_______ (you) only reason for becoming friends with a foreigner is to improve your English, then you will probably find that you don’t have a foreign friend for long. 五、阅读表达。（每小题2分，共计10分） It’s easy to see the fun in buying a huge ice cream or going shopping with friends, but saving money can be even more exciting. That’s because saving creates opportunities and opens the door to all kinds of adventures. The key to successful saving is setting a goal. Get a pen and paper, and write down how much it costs, then work out how much you can afford to save each week and how long it will take you to reach your goal. It’s important to be realistic because you’ll soon get bored if you plan to save every single penny. Some weeks you might decide to save a little more than planned so that you can reach your goals even faster. To avoid accidentally spending your savings, it’s a good idea to keep them separate from the rest of your money. You could do this by using a money box or a savings account (账户). When you save your money in a savings account, you have the opportunity to earn interest. This is money that a bank pays you for leaving the money there— and the longer you leave money in a savings account, the more interest you will earn.
