    Failure is probably the most fatiguing (令人疲劳的)experience a person ever has. There is nothing more tiring than not succeeding, being blocked, not moving ahead. It is an evil circle. Failure causes fatigue, and fatigue makes it harder to get to work, which adds to the fatigue.
    We experience this tiredness in two main ways: start-up fatigue and performance fatigue. In the former case, we keep putting off a task that we are forced to take up. Either because it is too boring or because it is too difficult, we avoid it. And the longer we put it off, the more tired we feel.
    Such start-up fatigue is very real, even not actually physical, not something in our muscles and bones. The remedy (治疗法) is obvious, though perhaps not easy to apply: willpower exercise. The moment I find myself turning away from a job, or putting it under a pile of things I have to do, I clear my desk of everything else and attack the difficult item first. To prevent start-up fatigue, always treat the most difficult job first.
    Performance fatigue is more difficult to handle. Here we are willing to get started, but we can't seem to do the job right. Its difficulties appear to be insurmountable and however hard we work, we fail again and again. The mounting experience of failure carries with it an ever-increasing burden of mental fatigue. In such a situation, I work as hard as I can, then let the unconsciousness take over.
    72.. Which of the following can be called an evil circle？
    ??   A. Success-zeal-success-zeal.
    ??   B. Failure-tiredness-failure-tiredness.
    ??   C. Failure-zeal-failure-tiredness.
    ??   D. Success-tiredness-success-tiredness.
    73.. According to the passage , when keeping putting off a task, we can experience _______.
    ??   A. tiredness    B. performance fatigue   C. start-up fatigue   D. unconsciousness
    74.To overcome start-up fatigue, we need ________ .
    ??   A. toughness   B. prevention           C. muscles        D. strong willpower
    75.. The underlined word "insurmountable" in the last paragraph probably means ________ .
    ??   A. that can not be overcome             B. that are known
    ??   C. that can not be imagined               D. that can not be objected

    第三部分：阅读理解（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）
    阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。
    Robby was 11 when his mother dropped him off for his first piano lesson. I prefer students to begin at an earlier age. Robby insisted that it had always been his mother’s dream to hear him play the piano, so I took him on as a student.
    Robby tried and tried while I listened and encouraged him and gave him more instructions. But he just did not have any inborn ability.
    I only saw his mother from a distance. She always waved and smiled but never came in.  Then one day Robby stopped coming to our lessons. I thought about calling him but I guessed he had decided to try something else.
    I was also glad that he stopped coming for the sake of my career. However, several weeks before the recital (演奏会) of my students, Robby came，telling me that he never stopped practicing and begged me to allow him to take part in. I agreed, but I made him perform last in the program, so I could save his poor performance through my “curtain closer”.
    I was surprised when he announced that he had chosen one piece of Mozart’s. Never had I heard a piece of Mozart’s played so well by someone at his age. When he finished, everyone was cheering.
    I ran up and put my arms around Robby in joy. “I’ve never heard you play like that, Robby!  How could you do it?”
    “Well, Miss Hondorf. Do you remember I told you my mom was sick? Actually she died this morning. She was born deaf, so tonight was the first time she could hear me play in heaven. I wanted to make it special. I knew I could.”
    That night, Robby was the teacher and I was the student. He taught me so many important things about life.
    36. Why did Robby stop coming to piano lessons suddenly?
    A. He lost heart and believed that he would never make it.
    B. His mother might had been seriously ill.
    C. He thought that his teacher disliked him.
    D. His mother died and he didn’t need to play any longer.
    37. We can know from the passage that ________.
    A. the writer thought that students shouldn’t begin playing the piano too early
    B. the writer thought that Robby had given up his piano lessons
    C. only by practicing at home did Robby learn to play well
    D. no one else could play the piece of Mozart’s as well as Robby
    38. The writer made Robby perform last because ______.
    A. the one who performs last always performs very well
    B. Robby asked the writer to do so
    C. she wanted to do something to save a poor performance
    D. Robby thought his mother would come at last

    Watson entered Mr Smith’s office. The Boss was a hard man. He fired people who didn’t do well without giving them a second chance.
    “Watson,” said Mr Smith, “this past year your department hasn’t earned money. We’re going to drop that department. It’s finished. I’ m sorry, —but you’ll have to go.” “But, sir—if I just had a little more time. For the moment I need the job to keep my son at Riverside School.”
    “What’s that!” said the Boss. “Riverside! I didn’t know you had a boy there. That’s an expensive school for a man with your salary.”
    “1 know, sir. But he likes it there so much! He’s a star trackman（田径运动员） and the best boxer in the school. The boys call him Champ（冠军） there.”
    The Boss sat perfectly still for a long time—a faraway （恍惚的） look in his eyes. Then, suddenly, he said, “We’ve got to close your department, Watson. But you’ll take over a new job in another department. It means longer hours—maybe more pay. Now get out. You’re here for life.”
    Watson got out, with surprise in his face. Then the Boss took a letter from the top drawer of his desk. It was Herbie’s last letter from Riverside School —written a few days before he died. He had read it over and over again with sick pain. The letter read:
    I can’t say the boys here are any nicer to me than the others were. I guess it’s the same everywhere when you’re a cripple (跛脚的人). But don’t worry about me, Dad. They’ve got a good chemistry department here. And there’s one boy here who is really great. He’s a track star and boxing champ and just tops in chemistry. The boys call him Champ. He made them stop throwing my books around. And he knocked a boy down who hit me. He is the best friend I ever had. Dad, when I grow up, I want to do something for Champ. Something big—that he won’t even know about.
    Your son,

    You need to know when the events of a text take place. This will help you to see the __21__ of the text — the reason things happen in a certain order. Some texts   22   a period of many years, like Wuthering Heights. Others go through a __23__ period of time — many poems try to capture one moment in time. Narrators (讲述者) can be immediate eyewitness, or they may be __24     the past. Some texts present two views of events: an eyewitness version, and a second version, __25__ on the same events much later. This happens in Great Expectations, where the narrator, Pip, sometimes speaks and acts like a __26__, and sometimes like a mature adult. Look out for the __27__ that the events fit together, and how they are caused. This is called the plot—the story of the text. Action in a text is either__28__, or happens by chance. Take notes on how the action is described, eg. if the tone is angry or __29__ . Try to work out how the language of the passage is being used to create the tone, the characters and the descriptions. You should also ask why the text has been written in the way it has — your notes on who, what, when, where and how will help you to    30    your own conclusions.
    21. A. structure                    B. content                     C. character                  D. substance
    22. A. contain               B. discover                C. cover                         D. hold
