— I ______ to get a driving license these years but without success.

— It’s rather difficult nowadays.

A. have been attempted B. have been attempting

C. am attempting D. was attempting

B

【解析】

试题分析:考查动词体态与语态辨析。A. have been attempted,现在完成功时的被动形式;B. have been attempting,现在完成进行式;C. am attempting,现在进行式;D. was attempting,过去进行式。句意—这些年我一直在尝试着考到驾照,但没有成功。—现在它是相当困难的。attempt to do尝试做,尽力做;根据these years可知表示一直在进行的事情,故要用进行式,再根据句意可判这件事从过去就发生了,一直持续到现在,所以用现在完成时的进行式更符合句意。故选B。

考点:考查动词体态与语态辨析。

It’s good to make mistakes, and here is why.

First of all, mistakes are a clear sign that you are trying new things. It’s always good to try new things because when you are trying new things you are growing. If you never try anything new, how can you improve? How can you expand? The simple answer is “You can’t.” Look around you. With very few exceptions, either everything you see in your world or every single detail of every single thing is the result of someone trying something new.

Another good thing about mistakes is this: When you are making mistakes, you are learning.Consider this: Edison failed 10,000 times before he perfected the light bulb. When asked how it felt to fail that many times, he said that he hadn’t failed 10,000 times, but rather had learned 10,000 things that didn’t work.

Finally, when you make a mistake you are much closer to success. Why? Because when all is said and done, you will have tried some numbers of things before you succeed.Every time you make a mistake you eliminate one of those things and are one step closer.But this all doesn’t mean that you should go ahead without considering the consequences(后果) of a mistake. Quite the contrary, when you try something new you have to be willing to set some reasonable limits so that in the event that it doesn’t work out the way you want it to, you will be in a position to try again.

We all have limited time and money so don’t blow them all on one approach to a problem. Realize that it probably won’t be perfect the first time and allocate (分配) these resources properly so you can learn, make corrections, and try it again.If you accept and use your mistakes in this way ,you can make great progress in your business and your career.

There is an old saying that goes, “If you’re not making mistakes, you’re not trying hard enough.”

So go ahead and make mistakes. And learn. And grow. And succeed.

A.mistakes are unnecessary for development

B.we are afraid of trying new thing

C.it’s common for people to make mistakes

2.The underlined word “eliminate” means _______.

3.According to the article, one thing you should pay attention to about making mistakes is_____.

Ning Zetao has become China’s new swimming star due to his amazing performance at the 2014 Asian Games in Incheon(仁川), South Korea.

With already two gold medals in hand, the 21-year-old clocked 47.70 seconds in the 100m freestyle, setting a new Asian record. This result has been recognized by FINA as the world’s third best time this year, fast enough to have won a gold medal in last year’s Barcelona World Championships.

“It is my first international event,”said Ning, who later won a fourth gold medal in Incheon. “I am happy that my results are pretty close to my personal best.”

Born in the central Chinese city of Zhengzhou,Ning entered the local team at the age of 11 and joined the navy team in 2007.He first caught people’s attention in 2009 when he finished eighth in the 200m individual medley at the National Games.

Nevertheless, Ning suffered from bone infection in both knees for a long time, which made him unable to train hard on his kicks.

He also had an indigestion problem and had to eat “soft” food which is easy to digest. His poor stomach even made it impossible for him to complete week-long full time training.

But the young swimmer never gives up. His idol is the great Russian swimmer Alexander Popov, who continued to win Olympic gold medals after he was stabbed on a street. Ning said, “He was a real fighter and I need to learn from him.”

Taken better care of by coaches and doctors, Ning can now train as normally as others. And that is why he can get today’s achievements.

The gold medals at the Asian Games also boosted the confidence of the new swimming star, who hopes to enter the national team and compete for China in more international events.

“Chinese men’s swimmers have never been placed among top eight in the short-distance freestyle,” he said. “I hope I can do it, just like what Sun Yang did in the mid-long distance freestyle.”

1.The best title could be ______.

A. Ning Zetao, a world famous swimmer

B. Ning Zetao, a promising rising star

C. Ning Zetao, a strong-will soldier

D. Ning Zetao, a world gold medalist

2.We can learn from the passage that ______.

A. the results Ning got in Incheon are his best

B. Ning is good at both 100m and 200m freestyle

C. Ning broke an Asian record at the 2014 Asian Games

D. Ning has already got 5 gold medals in the international event

3.It can be inferred from the passage that ______.

A. some health problems have little effect on Ning’s training

B. being well cared of is the main reason for Ning’s achievements

C. the Chinese swimmers have never got into the top eighth in the world event

D. gold medalist as Ning is, he is not yet a member of National Swimming Team

4.The underlined word “boost” in the last but one paragraph probably means ______.

A.increase B. weaken C. lack D. encourage

Children start out as natural scientists, eager to look into the world around them. Helping them enjoy science can be easy; there is no need for a lot of scientific terms or expensive lab equipment. You only have to share your children’s curiosity.

Firstly, listen to their questions. I once visited a classroom of seven–year-olds to talk about science as a job. The children asked me “textbook questions” about schooling, salary and whether I liked my job. When I finished answering, we sat facing one another in silence. Finally I said,” Now that we’ve finished with your lists, do you have questions of your own about science?”

After a long pause, a boy raised his hand, “have you ever seen a grasshopper (蚱蜢) eat? When I try eating leaves like that, I get a stomachache. Why?”

This began a set of questions that lasted nearly two hours.

Secondly, give them time to think. Studies over the past 30 years have shown that. After asking a question, adults typically wait only one second or less for an answer, no time for a child to think. When adults increase their “wait time” to three seconds or more, children give more logical, complete and creative answers.

Thirdly, watch your language. Once you have a child involved in a science discussion, don’t jump in with “That’s right” or “very good”. These words work well when it comes to encouraging good behavior. But in talking about science, quick praise can signal that discussion is over. Instead, keep things going by saying, “That’s interesting” or “I’d never thought of it that way before”, or coming up with more questions or ideas.

Never push a child to “think”. It doesn’t make sense; children are always thinking, without your telling them to. What’s more, this can turn a conversation into a performance. The child will try to find the answer you want, in as few words as possible, so that he will be a small target for your disagreement.

Lastly, show; don’t tell. Real-life impressions of nature are far more impressive than any lesson children can learn from a book or a television program. Let children look at their fingertips through a magnifying glass, and they’ll understand why you want them to wash before dinner. Rather than saying that water evaporates(蒸发), set a pot of water to boil and let them watch the water level drop.

1.According to the passage, children are natural scientist, and to raise their interest, the most important thing for adults to do is______.

A. to share the children’s curiosity

B. to let them see the world around

C. to explain difficult phrases about science

D. to supply the children with lab equipment

2.In the last sentence of the first paragraph, the word “list” could best be replaced by______.

A. any problems

B. questions from the textbooks

C. any questions

D. any number of questions

3.According to the passage, children can answer questions in a more logical, complete and creative way if adults______.

A. ask them to answer quickly

B. wait for one or two seconds after a question

C. wait at least for three seconds after a question

D. tell them to answer the next day

4.In which of the following paragraph(s) does the author tell us what to say to encourage children in a science discussion?

A. The second and third

B. The fifth

C. The fifth and sixth

D. The fourth and fifth

5.The author mentions all of the following techniques for adults to share with their children’s curiosity EXCEPT that adults should______.

A. encourage their children to ask questions of their own

B. offer their children chances to see things for themselves

C. be patient enough when their children answer questions

D. tell their children stories instead of reciting (背诵) facts

Here is something about Christmas. Every year just after Christmas the January Sales start. All the shops reduce their prices for two weeks, and they are full of people looking for bargains. My husband and I do not normally go to the sales as we don’t like crowds and are short of money as we have to buy lots of Christmas presents.

Last year, however, I took my husband with me to the sales at the large shop in the center of London. We both needed some new clothes and were hoping to find a television set. When we got to Oxford Street, it was so crowded that we decided to split up and meet again at the underground station. So I left my husband and started looking around the shops. Unfortunately all the clothes were in very large sizes and so were not suitable for me. But I did buy a television at a very low price, so I felt quite pleased with myself.

When I arrived at the station, my husband was not there. So I sat down in a nearby cafe to have a cup of tea. I quickly finished my tea when I saw my husband and went out to meet him. He looked very happy. Then I saw he was carrying a large and heavy cardboard box. “Oh, dear!” I thought. Yes, we had no new clothes but two televisions. We shall not go to the sales again.

1.In January ________.

A. lots of people go shopping for something cheaper

B. people have a lot of money to spend after Christmas

D. people don’t have enough money to buy new clothes

2.The husband and the wife in the story ________.

A. wished to buy a TV

B. went to the sales the year before
