【题目】Once when I was facing a decision that involved high risk, I went to a friend. He looked at me for a moment, and then wrote a sentence containing the best advice I’ve ever had: Be bold and brave―and mighty(强大的)forces will come to your aid.

Those words made me see clearly that when I had fallen short in the past, it was seldom because I had tried and failed. It was usually because I had let fear of failure stop me from trying at all. On the other hand, whenever I had plunged into deep water, forced by courage or circumstance, I had always been able to swim until I got my feet on the ground again.

Boldness means a decision to bite off more than you are sure you can eat. And there is nothing mysterious about the mighty forces. They are potential powers we possess: energy, skill, sound judgment, creative ideas―even physical strength greater than most of us realize.

Admittedly, those mighty forces are spiritual ones. But they are more important than physical ones. A college classmate of mine, Tim, was an excellent football player, even though he weighed much less than the average player.“In one game I suddenly found myself confronting a huge player, who had nothing but me between him and our goal line,” said Tim.“I was so frightened that I closed my eyes and desperately threw myself at that guy like a bullet(子弹)―and stopped him cold.”

Boldness―a willingness to extend yourself to the extreme―is not one that can be acquired overnight. But it can be taught to children and developed in adults. Confidence builds up. Surely, there will be setbacks(挫折)and disappointments in life; boldness in itself is no guarantee of success. But the person who tries to do something and fails is a lot better off than the person who tries to do nothing and succeeds.

So,always try to live a little bit beyond your abilities―and you’ll find your abilities are greater than you ever dreamed.

【1】 Why was the author sometimes unable to reach his goal in the past?

A.He faced huge risks.

B.He lacked mighty forces.

C.Fear prevented him from trying.

D.Failure blocked his way to success.

【2】 What is the implied meaning of the underlined part?

A.Swallow more than you can digest.

B. Develop more mysterious powers.

C.Act slightly above your abilities.

D. Learn to make creative decisions.

【3】 What can be learned from Paragraph 5?

A.Confidence grows more rapidly in adults.

B.Boldness can be gained little by little.

C.Repeated failure creates a better life.

D. Trying without success is meaningless.

【4】What is the author’s purpose in writing this passage?

A.To encourage people to be courageous.

B.To advise people to build up physical power.

C.To tell people the ways to guarantee success.

D.To recommend people to develop more abilities.

【答案】

【1】C

【2】C

【3】B

【4】A

【解析】

试题分析: 本文为夹叙夹议文,题材为人生哲理。作者通过朋友的建议告诉读者,要勇敢地去尝试自己没有把握的事情,即便是失败也比从未尝试过要好很多。

【1】C考察细节理解题。根据第二段第二句ItwasusuallybecauseIhadletfearoffailurestopmefromtryingatall.可知,作者过去没有实现目标通常都是因为害怕失败而没有去尝试,故选C项。

【2】C考察细节理解题。根据本段下文内容可知,我们都有比自己意识到的更大的潜在力量,甚至包括体力,由此可推断出此处指“要做略微超出你的能力的事情”。C

【3】B考察细节理解题。根据第五段第一句话“Boldness...is not one that can be acquired over night.”可知,勇敢无畏不能在一夜之间就被培养出来,B项意为“勇敢无畏可以逐渐得到”,符合该段段意。

【4】A考察细节理解题。根据文章最后一段可知,作者建议读者去尝试略微超出自己的能力的事情,这样就会发现自己的能力比想象中的还大。由此可判断出A项正确

【题目】Many little girls like flowers, watching butterflies and riding small horses. A lot of them also like cars, robots and spaceships. But most girls’ clothing only has pictures of flowers, butterflies or horses.

Two mothers decided to make clothes that include all the things that little girls do and love.

Six-year-old Bella loves to play with cars. So her dress has pictures of cars on it.

“We haven’t found this type of dress in the store,” Cathy, Bella’s mother, says.

The car dress is from a new girl’s clothing line called Princess Awesome. Rebecca Melsky set up the business. She says its products for girls have some designs normally found on boys’ clothes.

It all started two years ago when Rebecca was hoping to buy clothing for her two-year-old, who liked robots, trucks and spaceships.

“One day when I walked through a girls’ store, I thought to myself I wish they’d make one of those beautiful dresses that also have a robot on it because she will love that. And I thought someone should do that. Maybe I should do that,” Rebecca, said.

Her friend Eva St. Clair believed she should, and their business was born. The women sold the first 70 dresses they made at a market. So they decided to expand their business online. Their products sold very well there, too.

“They sold out so fast that I could not make them fast enough. We decided it was time to think about a factory,” Rebecca said.

So they started to raise money from people over the Internet. The women raised more than ＄215,000 within days, far more than the ＄35,000 they expected.

“Our biggest challenge is going to be how we expand as rapidly as people seem to want us to,” Rebecca said.

The women hope Princess Awesome will expand into products for girls of all ages and all interests.

【1】Princess Awesome was started .

A. by Cathy and Rebecca

B. because of six-year-old Bella

C. with the help of a girls’ store

D. to make unusual clothing for girls

【2】The dresses made by Rebecca and her friend .

A. sold better online than at the market

B. helped them get a job in a factory

C. were popular among girls

D. were sold expensively

【3】What is the most difficult thing Rebecca and her friend will face?

A. Meeting the needs of all girls.

B. How to make interesting products.

C. Raising enough money for their business.

D. How to expand their business as people expected.

【题目】根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

Parents and the Young

It is natural that young people are often uncomfortable when they are with their parents.

【1】 They often think that their parents are out of touch with modern ways, that they are too serious and too strict with their children, and that they seldom give their children a free hand.

It is time that parents often find it difficult to win their children’s trust and they always forget how they themselves felt when young.

【2】 It is one of their ways to show that they have grown up and they can face any difficult situation. Adults worry more easily. Most of them plan things ahead.

Young people make their parents angry with their choices in clothes, in entertainment and in music. But they do not mean to cause any trouble: It just shows that they feel cut off from the adult’s world, and they have not yet been accepted into their world. 【3】 And if their parents do not like their music or entertainment or clothes or their way of speech, this will make the young people very happy.

Sometimes you are so proud of yourself that you do not want your parents to say “yes” to what you do. 【4】 It is natural enough, after being a child for so many years, when you were completely under your parents’ control.

【5】 If your parents see that you have a high sense of responsibility, they will give you the right to do what you want to do.

A．Parents should understand young people.

B．Young people like to live with their parents.

C．Young people like to act without much thinking.

D．They say that their parents don’t understand them.

E．All you want is to be left alone and do what you like.

F．If you plan to control your life, you’d better win your parents.

G．That’s why young people want to make a new culture of their own.
