【题目】—You are always on time for everything. How ________ it be that you were late for the meeting this morning?

—Something went wrong with my car. But I didn’t know it before I left home.

A.shouldB.couldC.mightD.must

【答案】B

【解析】

句意:——你做任何事都总是准时。你今天早上开会怎么会迟到呢?——我的车出了点问题。但是在我离开家之前我并不知道。

考查情态动词的辨析,should情态动词,意思为应该,表示义务、推测和不确定,用于各种人称;might情态动词,意思为可能,语气比较委婉;must情态动词,意思为必须,表示义务和揣测,用于肯定句中;根据分析原句的语气,我们可以发现说话者的语气带有惊讶和不相信的情感色彩,could,意思为能够,表示惊异、怀疑、不相信等态度,主要用于否定句、疑问句或感叹句中,B项表达的感情色彩正好符合原句的语气,故选B

【题目】 One day, while I was waiting for my father, I saw a little boy, around two years old, running freely on the grass as his mother watched from a short distance. The boy had a big smile on his face as if he had just been set free from some sort of prison (监狱).The boy would then fall to the grass, get up, without looking back at his mother, run as fast as he could, again, still with a smile on his face, as if nothing had happened.

At that moment, I thought to myself, "Why aren't most adults this way?" Most adults, when they fall down, make a big deal out of it and don't even make a second attempt. They would be so embarrassed that they would not try again if someone saw them fall. Or, because they fall, they would find a good excuse for themselves that they're not fit for it. They would end up being too afraid to attempt again for fear of failure (失败).

However, with kids, when they fall down, they don't consider their falling down as a failure, instead, they treat it as a learning experience. They try again and again until they succeed. The answer must be that they have not connected "falling down" with the word "failure". What's more, they probably think to themselves that it's quite okay to fall down and that it's not wrong to do so. In other words, they allow themselves to make mistakes, so they remain energetic.

I was deeply impressed by the boy's persistence (坚持不懈) and the manner in which he did.

1What did the little boy do when he fell down?

A.He cried and lay on the grass.B.He asked his mother for help.

C.He got up and went on running.D.He got up and stood there crying.

2In the writer's opinion, what might the little boy regard his falling down as?

A.A failure.B.A joke.C.An interesting game.D.A learning experience.

3In the writer's opinion, why can't many adults succeed?

A.Because they are afraid of being embarrassed.

B.Because they can't find a good excuse.

C.Because once they fail, they won't attempt again.

D.Because they don't allow themselves to make mistakes.

4The underlined word "attempt" in Paragraph 2 means ________.

A.facingB.doubtingC.tryingD.giving up .

5What does the writer want to tell us?

A.Practice makes perfect.B.Failure is the mother of success.

C.All roads lead to Rome.D.Each coin has two sides.
