One day, a university student 【4(step) out of his office with a pile of books. He complained: “He always answers my questions with just a yes or no. However, he always gives me dozens of books and suggests me 【5 (find) the answer on my own.”

By chance, the professor knew 【6 the student complained about. He explained to him with a smile: “This is the method I have learnt---the 【7 (hard) you work independently, the better solutions you will find. If you can make full use of the books, you will 【8 (probable) become a good lawyer in the future.”

小题1】of

小题2】It

小题3】success

小题4】stepped

小题5】finding

小题6】What

小题7】Harder

小题8】Probably

小题9】Who

小题10】to go

【解析】

小题1】of考查短语。Regardless of意为不管,不顾符合语境,不管天气条件怎么样他都会工作。故填of。

小题2】It考查固定句型。It take sb.+时间+to do意为做某事花费某人多少时间,是固定句型,故填It。

小题3】success考查名词。a sense of意为一种,后面接名词,故填seccess。

小题4】stepped 考查时态。根据后面,complained可知这里讲述的是过去的事情应该用一般过去时故填stepped

小题5】finding考查固定结构。Suggest doing意为建议做某事,故填finding。

小题6】what考查宾语从句。从句中缺少宾语,先行词是know,所以这里应用what引导的宾语从句,故填what。

小题7】harder考查比较级。根据后面,the better可知前面也应该用比较级表示越…………故填harder

小题8】probably考查副词。句中成分没有残缺probably用来修饰动词becom,起到强调作用,故填probably。

小题9】who考查主语从句。先行词是Pound,表示人,引导词在从句中作主语,所以这里是who引导的主语从句,故填who。

小题10】to go考查固定结构。Be+adj.+to do,是固定结构,故填to go。

【题目】下面文章中有5处 (第15) 需要添加小标题。请从(ABCDEF)中选出符合各段意思的小标题, 并在答题纸上将相应选项的标号涂黑。选项中有一项是多余选项。

A. Decide to settle when growth is guaranteed.

B. Follow other people's paths.

C. Blame others for the fault.

D. Have faith in overnight success.

E. Only pay attention to the dreams themselves.

F. Believe someone else has the answers for you.

FIVE WAYS TO KILL YOUR DREAMS

I dedicated the past two years to understanding how people achieve their dreams. When we think about the dreams we have, and the footprint we want to leave in the universe, it is striking to see how big of an overlap there is between the dreams that we have and projects that never happen. So I'm here to talk to you today about five ways how not to follow your dreams.

1______

You know the story, right? The tech guy built a mobile app and sold it very fast for a lot of money. You know, the story may seem real, but I bet it's incomplete. If you go investigate further, the guy has done 30 apps before and he has done a master's on the topic, a Ph.D. He has been working on the topic for 20 years. This is really interesting. I myself have a story in Brazil that people think is an overnight success. I come from a humble family, and two weeks before the deadline to apply to MIT, I started the application process. And, voila! I got in. People may think it's an overnight success, but that only worked because for the 17 years prior to that, I took life and education seriously. Your overnight success story is always a result of everything you've done in your life through that moment.

2______

Constantly, people want to help out, right? All sorts of people: your family, your friends, your business partners, they all have opinions on which path you should take: "And let me tell you, go through this pipe." But whenever you go inside, there are other ways you have to pick as well. And you need to make those decisions yourself. No one else has the perfect answers for your life. And you need to keep picking those decisions, right? The pipes are infinite and you're going to bump your head, and it's a part of the process.

3_____

So when your life is going great, you have put together a great team, and you have growing revenue, and everything is set — time to settle. When I launched my first book, I worked really, really hard to distribute it everywhere in Brazil. With that, over three million people downloaded it, over 50,000 people bought physical copies. When I wrote a sequel, some impact was guaranteed. Even if I did little, sales would be okay. But okay is never okay. When you're growing towards a peak, you need to work harder than ever and find yourself another peak. Maybe if I did little, a couple hundred thousand people would read it, and that's great already. But if I work harder than ever, I can bring this number up to millions. That's why I decided, with my new book, to go to every single state of Brazil. And I can already see a higher peak. There's no time to settle down.

4______

I constantly see people saying, "Yes, I had this great idea, but no investor had the vision to invest." "Oh, I created this great product, but the market is so bad, the sales didn't go well." Or, "I can't find good talent; my team is so below expectations." If you have dreams, it's your responsibility to make them happen. Yes, it may be hard to find talent. Yes, the market may be bad. But if no one invested in your idea, if no one bought your product, for sure, there is something there that is your fault. Definitely. You need to get your dreams and make them happen. And no one achieved their goals alone. But if you didn't make them happen, it's your fault and no one else's. Be responsible for your dreams.

5_____

Once I saw an ad, and it was a lot of friends, they were going up a mountain, it was a very high mountain, and it was a lot of work. You could see that they were sweating and this was tough. And they were going up, and they finally made it to the peak. Of course, they decided to celebrate, right? I'm going to celebrate, so, "Yes! We made it, we're at the top!" Two seconds later, one looks at the other and says, "Okay, let's go down." Life is never about the goals themselves. Life is about the journey. Yes, you should enjoy the goals themselves, but people think that you have dreams, and whenever you get to reaching one of those dreams, it's a magical place where happiness will be all around. But achieving a dream is a momentary sensation, and your life is not. The only way to really achieve all of your dreams is to fully enjoy every step of your journey. That's the best way.

【题目】The Farmer, His wife, and the Open Door

Once upon a time, there lived a poor farmer and his wife. One day, having finished their day’s labor and eaten their simple supper, they were sitting by the fire. 【1】 It was blown open by wind.

“Darling, shut the door!” said the man.

“No way, shut it yourself!” said the woman.

“I will not shut it, and you shall not shut it,” said the man, “but let the one who speaks the first word shut it.”

【2】

In the middle of the night they heard a noise, and looking around, they found that a wild dog had entered the room, and that he was busy eating their food. Not a word, however, would either of these silly people say, and the dog, having eaten as much as he wanted, went out of the house.

【3】

When she was out, a barber entered, and said to the husband, “Why are you sitting here all alone?” 【4】 The barber then shaved his head, but still he did not speak; then he shaved off half his beard, but even then the man kept silent. “The man is crazy!” cried the barber, and he quickly escaped out of the house.

At the moment, the wife returned from the shop. 【5】 .

“You spoke the first word,” said the farmer, “so please shut the door.”

A. His words pleased the wife, and so the old couple, well satisfied, went in silence to bed.

D. The old couple fell asleep happily at night.

E.The farmer didn’t answer a word.

【题目】I wish there would be a way to describe China in simple terms but that’s impossible. For the most part, Chinese people are friendly, easy-going and optimistic. They are curious and unusually patient and they are also the hardest-working people I have ever met.

In China, family is everything. In my English classes when the students were asked what they would do if they only had a few hours to live, most students told me how they would spend their last few hours with their families and parents. Many times the subjects in the classes center on families and friends. I teach many students a year, talking to them freely.

The cost of living here is very low compared with that of the US. The city of Xiang Fan I live in isn’t large and I live better. Non-imported(非出口的) foods are very cheap, so are clothing and articles of everyday use. The cost of public transportation is very low, too. Chinese value education. However, it is reported that many children can’t afford the expenses of schooling and are forced to leave school in some poor areas in China. But they organized Project Hope many years ago. It creates conditions for the poor children to go back to school. In my opinion, Project Hope is of great importance to the development of the rural education.

When we read news of China in the west, rarely, if ever, will we see anything mentioned of the positive changes China has gone through. While it is true that economic miracles have not reached many areas of China, but we also have the same problems.

When I am asked which country I consider better. China or the US, my answer has always been the same, “We are not worse or better than each other, we are only different.”

【1】 How does the author find Chinese people ?

A.He thinks most Chinese people hardly work.

B.He praises most Chinese people a lot.

C.He thinks most Chinese people are proud.

D.He dislikes most Chinese people.

【2】What are not cheap in China in the author’s opinion?

A.Imported foods

B.Local foods

C.Public transportation tickets.

D.Clothes and shoes made in China.

【3】We can infer from the passage that the author thinks________.

A.the westerners have got to know China well

B.China’s economic miracles have appeared everywhere

C.the education in rural areas is never cared about in China

D.the progress of China is seldom reported in the US

【4】 In the author’ eyes,________.

A.China is better than the US

B.China is different from the US

C.Americans are richer than Chinese

D.China bears great similarities to the US

Colleges and universities in America consider a great deal of things about a student who want to be admitted. They says the most important thing is the student's high school record. Admission officers look only at the grades that the student has had earned. They also look at the level of difficulty of the classes. A student's interests and activities may also play a part of getting accepted. But in most cases another consideration is how good the student does in college entrance exams. This week in us Foreign Student Series, we will discuss two of these test: the SAT or the ACT. Most American schools accept either one.
