I spent some time alone that evening, thinking about the tragedy that might have been The next morning, when Anton got up, I half expected him to tell me the story But all he did was toast some bread, pull himself together, and head for the door to start a new day Watching from the window, I was reminded that still water often runs deep 21Why did the mother allow her son to swim there? A He was an excellent swimmer BThe water of the river is shallow C He was old enough to swim DThe rocks can be of help if there's danger 22The underlined part "who tends to play his cards close to his vest" probably means _ A Anton is a boy fond of swimming with other kids B Anton is unwilling to tell others what he thinks C Anton always has a desire to help others D Anton seldom changes his mind23In the mother's eyes, what her son did was_ A dangerous but interesting B meaningful but difficultC unexpected and courageousD awful and absurd24. What might be the best title for the passage?A My Son, My Hero B Anton, A Silent Boy C A Good Deed DA Proud Mother B Every week in China, millions of people will sit in front of their TVs watching teenagers compete for the title Character Hero, which is a Chinese-style spelling bee(拼写大赛). In this challenge, young competitors must write Chinese characters by hand. To prepare for the competition, the competitors usually spend months studying dictionaries. Perhaps the shows popularity should not be a surprise. Along with gunpowder and paper, many Chinese people consider the creation of Chinese calligraphy(书法)to be one of their primary contributions to civilization. Unfortunately, all over the country, Chinese people are forgetting how to write their own language without computerized help. Software on smart phones and computers allows users to type in the basic sound of the word using the Latin alphabet. The correct character is chosen from a list. The result? Its possible to recognize characters without remembering how to write them.But theres still hope for the paint brush. Chinas Education Ministry wants children to spend more time learning how to write.In one Beijing primary school we visited, students practice calligraphy every day inside a specially decorated classroom with traditional Chinese paintings hanging on the walls. Soft music plays as a group of six-year-olds dip brush pens into black ink. They look up at the blackboard often to study their teachers examples before carefully attempting to reproduce those characters on thin nice paper. “If adults can survive without using handwriting, why bother to teach it now?” we ask the calligraphy teacher, Shen Bin. “The ability to write characters is part of Chinese tradition and culture,” she reasons. “Students must learn now so they dont forget when they grow up.” says the teacher. 25. What can we learn about the Character Hero?A. Its open to people of all ages and all walks.B. Its the most-viewed TV programs in China.C. It aims to spread Chinese culture to the world.D. It draws great public attention across the country.26. Why are Chinese people forgetting how to write the characters?A. Chinese people dont refer to dictionaries very often.B. Chinese people no longer use brush pens or practice calligraphy.C. Chinese people are using the Latin alphabet instead of the characters.D. Chinese people neednt write by hand as often with the help of technology.27. According to Shen Bin, being able to write characters by hand is_. A. necessary for adults to survive in China B. a requirement made by the Education Ministry C. helpful to keep Chinese tradition and culture alive D. an ability to be developed only when you are students28. Where does this text probably come from? A. A news report. B. A science report. C. An advertisement. D. Childrens literature. C Restaurants in the USASteves Pizza So many pizza chains compete for the attention of tourists in South Beach, but ask a Miami Beach local where to get the best pizza and theyll tell you about Steves. This is New Yorkstyle pizza, handmade with care and good ingredients(成份). New branches of Steves are opening elsewhere in Miami, all in non-tourist areas. Opening hours: 11am-3am Cattlemans Steakhouse This place is 20 miles east of the city, but local folks would probably drive 200 miles to eat here. The food is good, and the scenery is even better.

Because in some ways, it is.Most of us feel bad when we make mistakes, beat ourselves up about it, feel like failures, get mad at ourselves.And thats only natural: most of us have been taught from a young age that mistakes are bad, that we should try to avoid mistakes. Weve been scolded when we make mistakesat home, school and work. Maybe not always, but probably enough times to make feeling bad about mistakes an unconscious reaction.Yet without mistakes, we could not learn or grow. If you think about it that way, mistakes should be cherished and celebrated for being one of the most amazing things in the world: they make learning possible; they make growth and improvement possible.By trial and errortrying things, making mistakes, and learning from those mistakeswe have figured out how to make electric light, to paint the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel, to fly.Mistakes make walking possible for the smallest toddler, make speech possible, make works of genius possible.Think about how we learn: we dont just consume information about something and instantly know it or know how to do it. You dont just read about painting, or writing, or computer programming, or baking, or playing the piano, and know how to do them right away. Instead, you get information about something, from reading or from another person or from observing, then you make mistakes and repeat, making mistakes, learning from those mistakes, until youve pretty much learned how to do something. Thats how we learn as babies and toddlers, and how we learn as adults. Mistakes are how we learn to do something newbecause if you succeed at something, its probably something you already knew how to do. You havent really grown much from that successat most its the last step on your journey, not the whole journey. Most of the journey was made up of mistakes, if its a good journey.So if you value learning, if you value growing and improving, then you should value mistakes. They are amazing things that make a world of brilliance possible.32. Why do most of us feel bad about making mistakes?A. Because mistakes make us suffer a lot. B. Because its a natural part in our life.C. Because weve been taught so from a young age.D. Because mistakes have ruined many peoples careers.33. According to the passage, what is the right attitude to mistakes?A. We should try to avoid making mistakes.B. We should owe great inventions mainly to mistakes.C. We should treat mistakes as good chances to learn.D. We should make feeling bad about mistakes an unconscious reaction. 34. The underlined word “toddler” in Paragraph 6 probably means .A. a small child learning to walk B. a kindergarten child learning to drawC. a primary pupil learning to read D. a school teenager learning to write35. We can learn from the passage that .A. most of us can really grow from successB. growing and improving are based on mistakesC. we learn to make mistakes by trial and errorD. we read about something and know how to do it right away 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10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佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。If something that you're doing doesn't challenge you, then it doesn't change you We all need some normal stress in our lives, after all 36 So challenge the following limits: 1 Figure out what you're scared of and do it continuously If you're a salesman, and you're scared of talking to people personally or over the phone, now, instead of being scared and thinking youll fail, spend at least five minutes a day to pick up the phone and make a call 37 But don't stop on the first try!
