第二部分阅读理解 (共两节, 满分50分) 

第一节 (共15小题; 每小题2.5分, 满分37.5分) 

阅读下列短文, 从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。

A

Failure isn’t the end, unless you let it be. Don’t believe me? Here are four people who lived through failure before going on to become names known around the world.

Walt Disney

Disney began his career by being fired by a newspaper for not being creative enough. Later, his Mickey Mouse cartoons were rejected because they were considered to be “too scary for women”. Also, The Three Little Pigs was turned down because it only had four characters. Thankfully, we have the Disney Company today because Disney chose not to listen to any of his critics and press forward towards his dreams.

Stephen King

King is a best-selling writer whose work has been made into several motion pictures. However, his first work was rejected 30 times, which led to King throwing it in the trash. Thankfully, his wife persuaded him to keep working at it, and—from that poor start—Carrie was born.

Milton Hershey

The man who blessed us with the sweet milk chocolate treat we all love wasn’t a hit the first time around. He once worked for a local candy factory. But when he went out on his own, he failed miserably. Then he returned to the family farm and perfected the art of making delicious milk chocolate candy, which we enjoy today.

Theodor Geisel

This author struggled to write a novel that publishing companies would call “pure rubbish” several times — 27 to be exact. The man just wouldn’t quit, though. One fateful night, he ran into an old friend who was a children’s literature editor. The friend agreed to publish Geisel’s work. Better known today as Dr. Seuss, Geisel was never again called a failure after his first book became a hit.

1. Why is the Disney Company known to us nowadays?

A. Disney was rejected many times. B. Disney improved his works later.

C. Disney got fired and began his career. D. Disney ignored critics and fought for his dreams.

2. What is Milton Hershey famous for today?

A. His big family farm. B. His successful art career.

C. His delicious milk chocolate candy. D. His experience in making milk chocolate.

3. What do the people mentioned have in common?

A. They have a gift for making money. B. They suffered several defeats on the path to success.
