【题目】 It’s good to make mistakes, and here is why.
First of all, mistakes are a clear sign that we are trying new things. It’s always good to try new things because when we are trying new things, we are growing. If we never try anything new, how can we improve? How can we expand? The simple answer is “We can’t”. Look around us. With very few exceptions, either everything you see in your physical 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 we are making mistakes, we 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 had learned 10,000 things that didn’t work.
Finally, when we make a mistake, we are much closer to success. Why? Because when all is said and done, we will have tried some number of things before we succeeded. Every time we make a mistake, weeliminateone of those things and are one step closer.
But all this doesn’t mean that we should go through life without considering the consequences of a mistake. Quite the contrary, when we try something new, we have to be willing to set some reasonable limits so that in the event that it doesn’t work out the way we want it to, we will be in a position to try again. We all have limited resources --in the form of time and money -- so we shouldn’t blow them all on one approach to a problem. Realize that it probably won’t be perfect the first time and allocate these resources appropriately so we can learn, make corrections, and try it again. Only by accepting and using our mistakes in this way can we make significant advances in our lives.
There is an old saying that goes, “If you’re not making mistakes, you’re not trying hard enough.” So go forth and make mistakes. And learn. And grow. And prosper.
【1】From the second paragraph, we can conclude that ________.
A.mistakes are unnecessary for developmentB.mistakes let us see our own limits
C.it’s common for people to make mistakesD.making mistakes is better than not trying
【2】According to the passage, if we try new things, we can ________.

【4】According to the article, one thing we should pay attention to about making mistakes is ________.

C.making proper arrangements for our next tryD.reflecting on the consequences after each mistake
【5】The article is mainly about ________.
A.how to deal with mistakesB.what benefits making mistakes brings
C.how to achieve successD.how to make use of our mistakes
【6】What may the writer probably suggest we say to ourselves when we make a mistake?

【题目】 Australia is no stranger to wildfires. The country’s weather patterns create heat and dryness, which fuel occasional bushfires in a natural cycle. However, one that started last September continues to burn, and it may not be natural at all. Scientists say that man-made climate change has played a role in the fire’s creation and duration.
Peter Gleick, a US climate scientist, told Time, “the extent, the severity, and the intensity of these fires wouldn’t have been so bad without the fingerprints of climate change.”
According to Australia’s Bureau of Meteorology, the country’s temperatures have risen by more than one degree Celsius since 1920. The spring of 2019 was Australia’s driest in 120 years. In December, the country saw its hottest day ever, with an average temperature of 41.9℃.
“Due to enhanced (过度的) evaporation(蒸发)in warmer temperatures, the vegetation and the soils dry out more quickly,” Stefan Rahmstorf, a lead author of the United Nations’ Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change’s Fourth Assessment Report, told Time.
Worse still, researchers at the UK Bureau of Meteorology believe that wildfires like this might become “normal conditions” in the future, according to the BBC. They looked at 57 research papers published since 2013, which examined the relationship between climate change and the risk of wildfires. They found that the link between the two has already been observed in many parts of the world, including the western US, Canada, southern Europe, and even Scandinavia and Siberia.
“These are impacts we are seeing for one degree of global climate change. The impact will get worse if we don’t do what it takes to make the world’s climate stable,” Corinne Le Quere, a professor from the University of East Anglia in the UK, told the BBC. “What we are seeing in Australia is not the ‘new normal’. It’s a transition(过渡)to worse impacts.”
【1】What was the wildfire starting last September related to according to scientists?
A.Air pollution.B.Human activities.
C.Environment changes.D.Natural cycle.
【2】What does the underlined phrase in paragraph 2 mean?
A.The meaning of climate changeB.The influence of climate change
C.The control of climate changeD.The possibility of climate change
【3】What happened with the temperature rising in Australia?
A.Plants stayed as lively as usual.
B.Australia never suffered a hot day.
C.The plants and the soils became dry faster.
D.Every season became the driest in the year.
【4】What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A.We might see more wildlife.
B.We were to see less disasters.
C.It could be impossible to see wildfires.
D.It would be more difficult to prevent wildfires.

Last week, I, along with the rest of my grade, went on a 18-hour survival training trip. On arriving at the destination, we put up our tents before making lunch. Then we participated in team-building activity such as dragon boat racing or rock climbing. They were extreme fun but tiring. The most exciting event was the boat racing, as I have never been in a dragon boat before. The thrilled feeling of riding over the waves will stay my mind forever. By the end of the day, they were all sweaty and exhausted. The next morning, take back with us our newly created memories, we returned back home.

【题目】 Why do you run? Different people have different reasons. Whatever your reason is, there’s one thing we can be sure of: Running is much better injury-free. In his book, Dr. Jordan Metzl’s Running Strong, Metzl has the perfect suggestions for enjoying your running without losing your well-being (健康). Here are five must-follow rules for injury-free running:
Train for your level of fitness and your goals.
Don’t run more miles than your body can deal with. If you run for fitness and your goal is about 30 minutes a day, that’s cool. But if you are just starting out, 【1】
Wear the right shoes for your feet.
You will hear lots of opinions about whether running shoes really help prevent injury and whether you should even wear them. 【2】 And some of you may need a little added assistance from inserts (鞋垫).
【3】
Be honest about how much sleep you need and stick to it. The cool runner is the one who wins the race. Sleep will get you there.
Fuel (提供能量) your body right for running and recovery.
【4】 And after a workout or race, you need to deliver nutrients to all the body rebuilders in your muscles, so they can do their job and get you back into tip-top shape for your run tomorrow.
Pay attention to pain.
When pain changes the way you run, stop running. 【5】 And use dynamic rest (动态休息) to stay in shape until you are back on your running feet.
A. Get seven to eight hours of sleep every night.
B. Try to find out what is going on and treat the pain.
C. you need to get there slowly.
D. Running should be seen as fun rather than pain.
E. It is because of the health benefits, including lowering your risk of disease.
F. The right running shoes can help correct foot-movement problems that lead to injury.
G. A good pre-run meal plan is one that keeps you stepping strong.

【题目】阅读下面短文,根据其内容写一篇 60 词左右的内容概要。
Two years ago, Li Yuhua's daughter taught her how to shop online. Since then, the 51-year-old farmer in Wushan has been a regular online shopper. Shoppers like Li Yuhua are the new target for China's ecommerce giants, including Alibaba Group, which operates the Taobao platform, and JD.com. Rural China added 3 million more Internet users in the first half, taking the total number to 225 million, or 26.3%, of the country's total Internet population of 854 million, according to a report on rural ecommerce development released last week by the China International Electronic Commerce Center. That helped improve rural online sales in the first half of the year by 21% to 777.1 billion yuan (US$109.6 billion), outpacing the national growth rate by 3.2 percentage points.
'However, it is a little bit early to say that China's ecommerce battlefield is moving to rural China, ' said Chen Tao, a senior analyst at consultancy Analysys. Unlike urban residents, most rural Chinese haven’t experienced ecommerce shopping. While that provides online platforms with one of the last undeveloped markets for ecommerce, progress has been slow due to the lack of infrastructure(基础设施)and logistics(物流)support.
To address that problem, China's second-largest ecommerce operator, JD.com hired more deliverymen and tested drone(无人机) delivery services to improve service in rural China. Alibaba Group, China's largest ecommerce player, announced in April last year that it had invested US$717 million in Huitongda Network Co., which helps to boost sales in 15,000 towns across 18 provinces.
Another inhibiting factor in the development of rural ecommerce is the income gap. In 2018, annual per capita disposable income(人均可支配收入)in rural areas was 14,600 yuan (US$2,065) compared with 39,300 yuan (US$5,559) in cities. 'Lower disposable incomes in rural areas limit the consumption,' said analyst Chen. 'It also takes time to educate rural residents to accept ecommerce services as most of them are new to online. There is still a long way to go to popularize online shopping in rural China.'
