试题分析:本文讲述作者受自己父亲的影响,不断努力、不断尝试。作者在父亲的教育下,在工作中一直努力,并不畏惧尝试新职位,最终达到自己的目标。这篇短文也旨在告诉我们要相信自己,勇于尝试。
1.我不能说我什么也不喜欢。speak“说”、“讲”、“演讲”。做及物动词时,宾语常是表示语言的词。talk“讲”、“说话”、“谈话”,与speak的意义相近。一般用做不及物动词,指一般的谈话或交谈,而不如speak正规的“演讲”、“发言”,须跟宾语时,与to、with、about等介词连用。say一般着重讲话的内容,指有连贯性的说话,通常用做及物动词。tell指把一件事情传达给别人或讲述一件事情、一个故事等。常用做及物动词。这句后面跟的是“说话的内容”,因此要用say。故选C。
2.考查动词及语境的理解。句意:无论是什么,直到我尝试之后。A. tried“尝试”;B. said“说”;C. finished“完成”;D. copied“抄袭”。结合上文Try it!可知选A。
3.考查动词及语境的理解。句意:经过这么多年我意识到我应该感谢他。A. consider“考虑”;B. argue“争论”;C. include“包括”;D. realize“意识到”。Come to realize“开始意识到”,故选D。
4.考查形容词及语境的理解。句意:我的第一份工作是我多年来决定尝试直到我下定决心要做的职业。first“第一”;best“最好的”;extra“额外的”。结合后文I believed I would work for several years, get married, stay at home, and raise a family, 可知答案为A。
5.考查副词及语境的理解。句意:事实上,我相信我可以工作几年然后结婚待在家里并供养这个家庭。A. Actually“实际上”;B. usually“通常”;C. finally“最终”;D. Gradually“渐渐地”。结合本句句意和词义,故选A。
6.考查助动词及语境的理解。句意:所以我认为我所做的工作不会关系到很多。本句时态是一般过去时,因此否定形式要借助didn’t,故选C。
7.考查名词及语境的理解。句意:我开始掌控一些基本技能,因此我在公司里面有机会升职到不同的位置上。A. situations“情景”;B. choices“选择”;C. directions“方向”;D. positions“位置”。Move up译为“升职”,因此,和职位有关的就是positions。故选D。
8.考查动词及语境的理解。句意:我抱有这样的想法接受每一次机会。A. received“接收”;B. accepted“接受”;C. hated“讨厌”;D. refused“拒绝”。根据后文作者的想法“ Well, I’ll try it. If I don’t like it , I can always go back to my (24) position(位置). ” 可知答案为B。
9.考查形容词比较级及语境的理解。句意:好吧,试试吧。如果我不喜欢,我总可以回到我原来的位置上。A. easier“easy的比较级,更早的”;B. earlier“early的比较级,更早的”;C. higher“high的比较级,更高的”;D. newer“new的比较级,更新的”。根据上文提到作者每次升职都接受,因此不喜欢就是回到原来的位置上。故选B。
10.考查动词及语境的理解。句意:并且我喜欢每一个我更换的职业。A. allowed“允许”;B. enjoyed“享受,喜欢”;C. counted“数,计算”;D. organized“组织”。根据上文But I was with the same company for the past 28 years. 提示,可知作者在同一个公司28年,说明他喜欢自己的职业。故选B。
11.考查动词及语境的理解。句意:我已发现因我从不害怕尝试而拥有大量的不同的天赋和技能。A. own“拥有”;B. show“展示”;C. gather“聚集”;D. need“需要”。这些天赋和技能是自己拥有的,故选A。
12.考查短语及语境的理解。句意:我已发现因我从不害怕尝试而拥有大量的不同的天赋和技能。bee lucky for“幸运的”;be slow at“不善于”;be afraid of“害怕……”;be open to“对……开放”。联系上文,作者因为不害怕尝试,所以不断尝试新机会,所以获得很多技能。故选C。
13.考查动词短语及语境的理解。句意:我还发现如果我相信我正在做的事情并且努力工作就会实现我的目标。A. think of“考虑,思考”;B. give in“屈服”;C. believe in“相信…”;D. turn into“变成”。结合本句句意和四个选项,作者因为相信和不断尝试而不断进步。故选C。

AN ice ball shoots across the night sky, lighting up its path along the way, like a flying sun.
Ancient humans were afraid of the sight of comets(彗星). Many cultures believed that comets were messages sent by gods, and people thought these messages were warning signs for bad behavior. But today science and technology give us a better understanding of comets.
Last week, comet Ison ended its million-year-long journey as it flew straight toward the sun, melting most of the comet. It was hoped that comet Ison would survive this trip around the sun. Because once it got near Earth, it would have produced a great show of lights for us.
In ancient times, the coming of comet Ison might have scared people. However, now we can track a comet’s journey in our solar system. We can also study what they’re made of. There is even a project to launch a spacecraft onto a comet to study them further.
Although from the sky they look like great giant fireballs, comets are a collection of gas, ice, dust and small rocks. As a comet goes into our solar system, the sun’s solar winds blow some of the dust and gas away, giving the comet a tail. The average size of comets is about 10 kilometers in diameter(直径). But amazingly, their tails can be 150 kilometers long! Comet Ison’s diameter was about 5 kilometers.
Today, people don’t fear comets as much as they did before. Western countries have even developed and old tradition. When people see a comet or meteoroid(流星) shooting across the sky, they call it a shooting star, People who get the chance to see one get to make a wish. It is a tradition that lives on today.
1.In ancient times, people thought comets were _____.
A.warning signs sent by gods

2.We can tell from the third paragraph that comet Ison ___.

D. was melted by the sun
3.When a comet travels near the sun, some of the __ will be blown away by the solar winds.

Did you sleep the day away on March 21? Well, you should have done that because it was World Sleeping Day. This is the one day of the year when people around the world care about their sleep and ask themselves a lot of questions about sleep.
Why do we need sleep? Nobody as yet can give a correct answer to this question. However, tests have shown that lack(缺少)of sleep over about four weeks leads to a strong drop in body temperature, great weight loss and finally sickness.
Different people need different amounts of sleep. Eight hours a night is considered the average amount of sleep. For teenagers the least number of sleeping hours advised by doctors are ten hours for primary school students, nine for junior highs and eight for senior highs.
Some people seem to get along just fine with very little sleep at night. Leading American scientist Thomas Edison said that sleep was a waste of time. He did, however, take naps during the day. On the other hand. Albert Einstein, another great scientist, said he needed at least ten hours' sleep a night.
Here are some of the most useful suggestions, for a good night's sleep:
Go to bed regularly.
Use your bed only to sleep.
Don't exercise in the evening.
Keep the bedroom dark and quiet.
Drink a glass of milk before sleep.
Stop looking at the watch while you can't sleep!
