课时提升作业(二十四)必修4Module 6Ⅰ. 完形填空Last week, my granddaughter started kindergarten. As is1, I wished her success. I was lying. What I actually wish for her is2. I believe in the power of failure.Success is3. Success is proving that you can do something that you already know you can do, or doing something correctly the first time, which can4be a problematical victory. First-time success is usually a fluke(侥幸). First-time failure, 5is expected; it is the natural order of things.Failure is how we learn. I have been told of an African phrase6 a good cook as“she who has broken many pots”. If you’ve spent enough time in the7and have broken a lot of pots, probably you know a fair amount about8. I once had a late dinner with a group of chefs, and they spent time9knife wounds and bum scars. They knew how much credibility(信誉)their10gave them.I earn my living by writing a daily newspaper column. Each week I am11 that one column is going to be the worst column of the week. I don’t set out to write it;I try my best every day. 12, every week, one column is inferior(较差的)to the others, sometimes extremely so.I have learned to13that column. A successful column usually means that Iam treading(踩踏)on14ground, going with the tricks that work, or dressing up popular ideas in fancy words. Often in my inferior columns, I am trying to15 something I’ve never done before, something I’m not even sure can be done.My granddaughter is a perfectionist. She will feel her failures, and I will want to 16her. But I will also, I hope, 17her of what she learned, and how she can do whatever it is18next time. I probably won’t tell her that failure is a good thing, because that’s not a(n)19you can learn when you’re five. I hope I can tell her, though, that it’s not the end of the world. Indeed, with luck, it is the20.【文章大意】作者以自己进行的专栏创作的经历, 悟出一个道理: 失败是一件好事, 失败是学习的过程, 是事物的自然法则。

Crouch said a groomer tied Gooch up with a collar，and then she and a man sat on the dog to trim its nails.Gooch died after one claw was trimmed.Crouch yelled at the groomer to stop when she saw Gooch was struggling to breathe，but she said she was ignored. “If I could have walked，I would have put my hands on her and pulled her off my dog and physically stopped her，but I can’t do that .”Gooch was not a trained service animal，but naturally helped Crouch by picking up things for her.“This case is absolute animal abuse(虐待)，”Larry Obrecht，division manager of the Oakland County Animal Shelter in Auburn Hills，said.People who read the story contacted Oakland Press to offer help. A message，from Rebecca Amett of Giggles N Wiggles Puppy Rescue in Roseville，said，“We have puppies to donate…and want to help the young woman who lost her service dog.”“When Gooch was with me I was happy ，”Crouch said，“ I think I can be happy again but no animal can replace Gooch. There’s never going to be another Gooch out there but I think I will find a dog that can bring me joy again.”31．What does the passage mainly tell us？A．A disabled woman’s service dog.B．A cruel groomer killed a disabled woman’s dog.C．People’s love for a disabled woman who lost her dog.D．A disabled woman loves to have the dog as company.32．People called and emailed to________.A．give their angry voice to the groomerB．offer help and care to Laurie CrouchC．tell Crouch how to punish the groomerD．offer a cure for Crouch’s disease33．Gooch died mainly because ________.A．the groomer was carelessB．the groomer didn’t know how to trim the dog’s nailsC．the groomer sat on the dog with another manD．the dog was wearing a collar34．What do we know about Crouch’s dog？A．It was a specially trained service dog.B．It was trained to do many things for people.C．It was Crouch’s only friend.D．It could offer some help to Crouch.Ⅳ.书面表达高中生在成长的过程中会碰到一些烦恼。

Maive Rute suggests feeding animals a diet designed to reduce emissions.The new agricultural research group says protecting against global warming is only part of its purpose.It says the world also needs to develop better farming methods to feed growing populations in poor countries.United States Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack said no one single nation can fight agricultural greenhouse gas emissions and increase food production at the same time.This is why the alliance is important for combining resources and finding new ones.The United States Department of Agriculture will increase spending on farm emissions research by ninety million dollars over the next four years.The total will reach one hundred and thirty milliondollars.The U．S.D.A.will share the research with other countries in the Global Research Alliance on Agricultural Greenhouse Gases and support researchers from developing countries that belong to the alliance. Money from the Borlaug Fellowship Program will let the researchers study agricultural climate change with American scientists.Mister Vilsack said that just as climate change has no borders，there should be no borders for research.1．In Paragraph 4，Maive Rute recommends________.A．increasing food productionB．changing cattle digestive systemsC．developing better farming methodsD．giving animals the food meant to produce fewer emissions2．The underlined word “alliance” in Paragraph 6 probably means________.A．action or state being joined togetherB．an agreement signed between countriesC．a program or project set up for a researchD．an organization formed for different goals3．How much has the U．S.D.A.spent on farm emissions research so far?A．130 million dollars. B．220 million dollars.C．40 million dollars. D．90 million dollars.4．The purpose of the passage is to________.A．suggest a total ban on farm activitiesB．introduce the Copenhagen conference held last monthC．appeal to more countries to cut agricultural emissionsD．inform readers of the major cause of global warming答案课时作业(二十四)Ⅰ.单项填空1．解析：考查动词辨析。
