【题目】 Recently, as I watched my son Nathan play basketball for his high school team, I started to feel sorry for myself and for him. His team was facing adversity (逆境) — it was the opponent’s home gym filled with their supporters, and Nathan’s team was left behind for three quarters of the game.
As for me, I had been fired earlier in the day. I was prepared for it as I had experienced the same thing 14 years earlier, but, just like a punch in the mouth, the blow is never softened because you were expecting it.
As I watched the adversity on the court that my son was experiencing, I recalled my earlier events, packing up everything in a box and waving goodbye to a great group of colleagues with whom I’d had the pleasure of working. During my driving home, I kept telling myself “Just like that time, I will find work again in a short time—I am confident in my experience and abilities.” It was the same belief that I tried to teach my son.
The basketball game entered the fourth quarter with Nathan’s team still trailing. As Nathan and his teammates fought back, I saw the focus and determination on him, as well as his teammates’faces. Then, with a tie game and seconds on the clock, Nathan found himself with the ball. There was no room for self-doubt. With skill and confidence he was able to tune out all that could drive his attention away and make the throw as if he had done it a thousand times. The joy on his face, the cheering from the crowd, and the silence on the other side of the gym—it was a moment that would make any parent proud.
As I sat there, my heart bursting with pride, it dawned on me that I had taught him determination in the face of adversity, and he had just taught me the same lesson. That brief moment of self-doubt and feeling sorry for myself was blown away by the actions of my son on the basketball court. He will play in the finals, but it doesn’t matter if he wins or loses, at this moment.
【1】What did the author intend to show by mentioning his experience 14 years ago?
A.He quit a job again.B.He disliked working with the colleagues.
C.He made a right career choice.D.He had confidence in his abilities.
【2】What can we infer from the passage?
A.Nathan’s teammates couldn’t focus on the play.
B.The author was never worried about his son’s team.
C.Nathan’s team lost the game at last.
D.The game was in a tie at one time.
【3】What is the passage mainly about?
A.A blow from losing a job.B.A lesson on the court.
C.The importance of teamwork.D.The rise and fall of a game.
【答案】
【1】D
【2】D
【3】B

【题目】 Blind imitation is self-destruction. To those who do not recognize their unique worth, imitation appears attractive; to those who know their strength, imitation is unacceptable.
In the early stages of skill or character development, imitation is helpful. When I first learned to cook, I used recipes and turned out some tasty dishes. But soon I grew bored. Why follow someone else’s way of cooking when I could create my own? Imitating role models is like using training wheels on a child’s bicycle; they help you get going, but once you find your own balance, you fly faster and farther without relying on them.
In daily life, imitation can hurt us if we subconsciously hold poor role models. If, as a child, you observed people whose lives were bad, you may have accepted their fear and pain as normal and gone on to follow what they did. If you do not make strong choices for yourself, you will get the results of the weak choices of others.
In the field of entertainment, our culture glorifies celebrities. Those stars look great on screen. But when they step off screen, their personal lives may be disastrous. If you are going to follow someone, focus on their talent, not their bad character or unacceptable behaviors.
Blessed is the person willing to act on their sudden desire to create something unique. Think of the movies, books, teachers, and friends that have affected you most deeply. They touched you because their creations were motivated by inspiration, not desperation. The world is changed not by those who do what has been done before them, but by those who do what has been done inside them. Creative people have an endless resource of ideas. The problem a creator faces is not running out of material; it is what to do with all the material knocking at the door of imagination.
Study your role models, accept the gifts they have given, and leave behind what does not serve you. Then you can say, “I stand on the shoulders of my ancestors’ tragedies and declare victory, and know that they are cheering me on.”
【1】To avoid the bad result of imitation, we should _______.
A.stay away from starsB.forget daily fear and pain
C.choose the right exampleD.ask others for decisions
【2】According to the author, the world moves on because of those who are _______.
A.desperate to influence others with their knowledgeB.eager to discover what their ancestors did
C.willing to accept others’ ideasD.ready to turn their original ideas into reality
【3】The trouble a creator faces is _______.
A.how to use imagination creativelyB.the lack of strong motivation
C.how to search for more materialsD.the absence of practical ideas
【4】What is the author’s purpose in writing this passage?
A.To compare imitation with creation.B.To highlight the importance of creativity.
C.To criticize the characters of role models.D.To explain the meaning of success.

【题目】 A little battery puts out a little bit of electricity, so you can use it safely for your experiments. But the electricity that comes through the wires in your house or school is much more powerful. 【1】 .
Inside the walls where you live or study, there are big wires that carry electricity. When you plug in a light or radio or other electrical appliance, you are putting the light or radio in the path way of the electricity. You have heard adults warn, “ 【2】,‘ Now do you know why? If you did, you would become part of the electrical path way.
【3】 The electrical current coming through the wires to the wall plug is so strong that it would hurt a lot if you stuck your finger in the plug. Put your finger in there and it could be you, rather than the light bulb, that becomes part of the electrical path way. And that would hurt!
What if you held a piece of metal, like a fork or knife, and stuck it into the wall plug? Don't do it. Why? It's because metals also conduct electricity. 【4】
Don't touch any electrical appliance when you are wet. Can you think why? It's because water is a good conductor of electricity. When your hands are wet or when your body is in a bathtub full of water, the electricity could flow right through you and give you an awful shock, or even kill you.
Electricity is very useful, but it can be dangerous. 【5】If so, electricity can better serve you, instead of hurting you.
A.Life is precious!
B.So stay away from wires.
C.Be careful, be safe and be smart.
D.And you would get a terrible shock!
E.Don't stick your finger into the wall plug.
F.Therefore, keep in mind some safety rules.
G.Your body is a pretty good conductor of electricity.

【题目】 The rapid growth in skyscrapers worldwide has led to a high demand for window washers since most of these buildings feature large glass panes (窗格) to highlight their breathtaking views.
Though the job offers a handsome salary, dangling alongside multi-story structures is dangerous, and accidents are not uncommon. However, if Israel-based company Skyline Technologies has its way, the dangerous chore may soon be taken care of by Ozmo, an intelligent window cleaning robot.
"As a society, we've become too comfortable watching people hanging off the sides of 30-story buildings," says Yaron Schwarez, co-founder and CEO of Skyline Robotics. "No salary could justify allowing people to put their lives in the hands of a system of ropes."
Much like humans, Ozmo is placed on platforms suspended from the buildings and uses its arms and brushes to clean the dirt on the glass panes. A 3D map of the building's surface programmed into its system allows the robot to skillfully handle obstacles as it moves up and down the structure. Computer vision and touch sensors enable it to move out of the way in case of unexpected events, such as the sudden opening of a window.
Unlike current window washers, the robot cleaner does not require soap to clean the glass. Instead, it uses distilled water (蒸馏水) and a process called dirt absorption to do the job. Schwarez explains, "We use pure water to absorb and remove the salts, the minerals, the oils, and the dirt from the building. We are environmentally-friendly."
Ozmo is also expected to be much more efficient than humans. While it currently takes three cleaners 480 hours each to clean the windows of a 40-story glass building, the robot will single-handedly complete the task in just 80 hours. However, unlike other robots, Ozmo will not replace human workers. It will only make their jobs safer by lifting them to the role of supervisors, who will be remotely controlling the operation from below.
Whether Ozmo, which is still undergoing testing, does as good a job as human remains to be seen.
【1】Which of the following can best replace the phrase "has its way" in paragraph 2?
A.Succeeds.B.Hesitates.
C.Struggles.D.Exists.
【2】What can we learn about Ozmo from the passage?
A.It requires chemicals to clean.
B.It has trouble crossing obstacles.
C.It operates with great efficiency.
D.It works without human helpers.
【3】What is the author's attitude towards the future application of Ozmo?
A.Optimistic.
B.Doubtful
C.Unconceded.
D.Objective.
【4】What is the best tile for the text?
A.Ozmo: a Double-edged Sword.
B.Ozmo: a Smart Window Cleaner.
C.Window Washing: a Dangerous Job.
D.Window Washing: a Blessing in Disguise.
