After the 50 pupils made their way into the classroom，a teacher told them that they would join a two—hour New Straits Times Niexus workshop (讨论会)。

The children were rewarded with a session (一段时间）filled with games and laughter. The 12—year-olds quickly got over their shyness and joined in various activities，including a language game which required them to fill in the blanks with alphabets based on various themes. When the workshop ended，the pupils were not willing to leave their seats and wanted to continue. Before returning home, the pupils each received a copy of the New Straits Times and were advised to use the newspaper during English classes。

John remembered that his mother told him many times, “Son, you can be anything you want really to be i f you just believe.”She told him not to depend on others, inclu ding his mother. “You have to earn success, ”she said. “All th e people who work hard don’t succeed, but the only people w ho do succeed are those who work hard.”These words came from a woman with less than a third grade education. She also knew that believing and hard work don’t mean everything.

John’s mother and stepfather could not find work. But here John could go to school, and here he lear ned the power of words—as an editor of the newspaper and yearbook at Du Sable High School His wish was to publish a magazine for blacks.While others discouraged him, John’s mother offered him mor e words to live by.“Nothing beats a failure but a try. ”She also let him pawn(典当)her furniture to get the $ 500 he needed to start the Negro magazine.It is natural that difficulties and failures followed John closely until he became very successful.

Until then she had been a bright, cheerful woman deeply interested and involved in the world around her. I would go home to visit her in Virginia and she would look at me in a puzzled way and ask, “Who are you?” I would answer, “I'm your son.” “Where do you live?” She would ask. “In California”, I would tell her. “Isn't that interesting,” she would say, “I have a son in California.”She seemed simply forgetful and confused at the beginning of the disease, but later on she would go through periods of intense anxiety. She would pace through the house she had lived in most of her life crying uneasily that she wanted to go home. Or she would leave home and wander away if she were unattended for a short time. Hoping to please her and put her mind at ease I would take her for a drive, visiting sites where she had lived as a child. In the yard of the hillside house in Shipman I sat in the car and admired the view of the old oaks and long green lawn. I pictured my mother there was a little girl playing with the pet lamb she had been so fond of. I looked to her for some response. She shookher head and said “ I want to go home.Over the years I have decided that what my mother was calling home was not a place, but a time. I suspect it was a time when she was much younger, when her children were still underfoot, when her husband was still vigorous and attentive.Watching my mother's suffering set me wondering where I would have gone in mind if someday I couldn’t find home and wanted to go there. In this family we tend to be long-lived and we grow fuzzy (糊涂的) minded as the years go by. At eighty I have already noticed some alarming symptoms. My doctor says the forgetfulness is only natural and that it comes with age. Still the fear of Alzheimer's is haunting there. Someday if and when I become even more cloudy minded than I am now, unable to drive and unable to tell you where "home" is, my dear son, I expect I will ask you to take me home, I know you will do your best to find the place I need to be. I leave these notes for your guidance.41. What's the main idea of the first two paragraphs?A. The author’s mother suffered with serious Alzheimer's disease.B.

Twenty-one years later I am still a bright-eyed dreamer and one with quite a different tale to tell.My grandma, an amazing woman, graduated from college at the age of 65.She was the first in our family to reach that goal. But one year after I started college, she developed cancer. I made the choice to withdraw from college to care for her. It meant that school and my personal dream would have to wait.Then I got married with another dream: building my family with a combination of adopted and biological children. In 1999, we adopted our first son.To lay eyes on him was fantastic—and very emotional.A year later came our second adopted boy.Then followed son No.3.In 2003, I gave birth to another boy.You can imagine how fully occupied I became, raising four boys under the age of 8！Our home was a complete zoo—a joyous zoo.Not surprising, I never did make it back to college full-time.But I never gave up on the dream either.I had only one choice: to find a way.That meant taking as few as one class each semester.The hardest part was feeling guilty about the time I spent away from the boys.They often wanted me to stay home with them.There certainly were times I wanted to quit, but I knew I should set an example for them to follow through the rest of their lives.In 2007, I graduated from the University of North Carolina.It took me over21 years to get my college degree!I am not special, just single-minded.It always struck me that when you're looking at a big challenge from the outside it looks huge, but when you're in the midst of it, it just seems normal.Everything you want won't arrive in your life on one day.It's a process.Remember: little steps add up to big dreams.51．When the author went to Howard University, her dream was to be ________.A．a writer B．a teacherC．a judge D．a doctor 52．Why did the author quit school in her second year of college?A．She wanted to study by herself.B．She fell in love and got married.C．She suffered from a serious illness.D．She decided to look after her grandma.53．What can we learn about the author from Paragraphs 4 and 5?A．She was busy yet happy with her family life.B．She ignored her guilty feeling for her sons.C．She wanted to remain a full-time housewife.D．She was too confused to make a correct choice.54．What does the author mostly want to tell us in the last paragraph?A．Failure is the mother of success.B．Little by little, one goes far.C．Every coin has two sides.D．Well begun, half done.55．Which of the following can best describe the author?A．Caring and determined.B．Honest and responsible.C．Ambitious and sensitive.D．Innocent and single-minded.DDeath Valley is one of the most famous deserts in the United States, covering a wide area with its alkali sand. Almost 20 percent of this area is well below sea level, and Badwater, a salt water pool, is about 280 feet below sea level and the lowest point in the United States.Long ago the Panamint Indians called this place “Tomesha”— the land of fire. Death Valley’s present name dates back to 1849, when a group of miners coming across from Nevada became lost in its unpleasantness and hugeness and their adventure turned out to be a sad story. Today Death Valley has been declared a National Monument(纪念碑) and is crossed by several well-marked roads where good services can be found easily. Luckily the change created by human settlement has hardly ruined the special beauty of this place.Here nature created a lot of surprising, almost like the sights on the moon, ever-changing as the frequent wind moves the sand about, showing the most unusual colors. One of the most astonishing and variable parts of Death Valley is the Devil’ s Golf Course, where it seems hard for one to tell re ality from terrible dreams. Sand sculptures(沙雕) stand on a frightening ground, as evening shadows move and lengthen.56. _______ is the lowest place in the desert.A. TomeshaB. Death ValleyC. NevadaD. Bad water57. The name of the valley comes from _______.A. an Indian nameB. the death of the minersC. the local peopleD. a National Movement58.

First of all, mistakes are a clear sign that you are trying new things. It’s always good to try new things because when you are trying new things you are growing. If you never try anything new, how can you improve? How can you expand? The simple answer is “You can’t”. Look around you. Almost everything valuable you see in your world is the result of _____________.[2] Another good thing about mistakes is this: when you are making mistakes, you are learning. Consider this: Edison failed 10000 times before he perfected the light bulb. When asked how it felt to fail that many times, he remarked that he hadn’t failed 10000 times, but rather had learned 10000 things that didn’t work.[3] Finally, when you make a mistake you are much closer to success. Why? Because when all is said and done, you will have tried only a few things before you succeed. Every time you made a mistake, you got rid of one bad thing and stepped closer to success.*4+ But this all doesn’t mean that you should go ahead without considering the consequences of a mistake. Instead, when you try something new, you have to be willing to set some reasonable limits so that you will have opportunities to try again in case that it doesn’t work out as you expected. We all have limited resources so don’t blow them all at one time. Realize that it probably won’t be perfect the first time and use these resources appropriately so you can learn, improve, and try it again. Only by using your mistakes in this way can you make significant advances in your career.*5+ There is an old saying that goes, “If you’re not making mistake, you’re not trying hard enough.” So go forth and make mistakes.1. List three reasons why making a mistake is good for you.

开滦二中2014～2015学年第二学期高二年级6月考试第Ⅰ卷（选择题，共80分）第二部分阅读理解（共两节; 满分30分）第一节阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

(满分20分）AWhen something goes wrong，it can be very satisfying to say，”Well, it’s so-and-so’s fault,” or “I know I’m late，but it’s not my fault；the car broke down”. It is probably not your fault，but once you form the habit of blaming somebody or something else for a bad situation，you are a loser. You have no power and could do nothing that helps change the situation. However, you can have great power over what happens to you if you stop focusing on whom to blame and start focusing on how to remedy the situation. This is the winner’s key to success.Winners are great at overcoming problems. For example, if you were late because your car broke down, maybe you need to have your car examined more regularly. Or, you might start to carry along with you the useful phone numbers, so you could call for help when in need. For another example, if your workmate causes you problems on the job for lack of responsibility or ability, find ways of dealing with his irresponsibility or inability rather than simply blame the person. You should accept the fact and find creative ways to work successfully regardless of how your workmate fails to do his job well.This is what being a winner is all about—creatively using your skills and talents so that you are successful no matter what happens. Winners also have some problems in their lives; they have just as many difficult situations to face as anybody else. They are just better at seeing those problems as challenges and opportunities to develop their own abilities. So, stop focusing on “whose fault it is.” Once you are confident about your power over bad situations, problems are just ste pping stones for success.21．According to the passage, winners .A. deal with problems rather than blame othersB. meet with fewer difficulties in their livesC. have responsible and able colleaguesD. blame themselves rather than others22．The underlined word remedy in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to _________.A. avoidB. refuseC. improveD. consider23．When your colleague brings about a problem, you should .A. find a better way to handle the problemB. blame him for his lack of responsibilityC. tell him to find the cause of the problemD. ask a more able colleague for help24．Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A. A Winner’s Achievement.B. A Winner’s Problem.C. A Winner’s Opportunity.D. A W inner’s Secret.BAccording to body language expert Robert Phipps, the way people sleep at night actually determines a lot about the type of personality they have. Phipps has identified four sleeping positions that affect personality.Phipps found that worriers, those who stress the most, tend to sleep in the fetal(胎儿的) position. He found that this is the most common bedtime position, with nearly 58 percent of people sleeping on their side with knees up and head down. The more we curl up(蜷曲), the more comfort we are seeking, according to Phipps.The second most common position is the log. Sleeping with a straight body, with arms at each side, as if they are standing guard at Buckingham Palace, indicates stubbornness, and these people (the 28 percent who sleep this way) often wake up stiffer than when they went to sleep."The longer you sleep like this, the more rigid your thinking is and you can become inflexible, which means you make things harder for yourself," according to Phipps.Yearner(向往型) sleepers are next on the list. About 25 percent of people sleep in this style — on their side with arms stretched out in front, looking as if they are either chasing a dream or perhaps being chased themselves. Yearners are typically their own worst critics, always expecting the best results, explained Phipps. These people often wake up refreshed and eager to face the challengesof the day ahead.Perhaps the most peculiar(奇怪的) of sleep styles is the freefaller position. This sleep style makes up 17 percent of the population. They sleep face down with arms stretched out. These people, according to Phipps, feel like they have little control over their life. Not only is this the strangest of sleep styles, but also the least comfortable, and people may wake up feeling tired and have no energy.In conclusion, Phipps has only one more thing to add: "A good night’s sleep sets you up for the following day and our sleeping positions can determine how we feel when we wake."25.Which of the following pictures is the fetal position?A.B.C.D.26.Which sleeping position indicates that the sleeper tends to seek perfection?A. The fetal position.B. The log position.C. The yearner position.D. The freefaller position.27.Which of the following shows the structure of the passage?CP: Central Point P: Point Sp: Sub-point C: ConclusionA.B.C.D.CStudents who date (约会) in middle school have significantly worse study skills, are four times more likely to drop out of school and report twice as much alcohol and tobacco use than their single classmates, according to new research from the University of Georgia.“Romantic relationships are a symbol of adolescence（青春期）, but very few studies haveexamined how adolescents are different in the development of these relationships.” said Pamela Orpinas, study author and professor in the College of Public Health.Orpinas followed a group of 624 students over a seven-year period from 6th to 12th grade. Each year, the group of students completed a survey indicating whether they had dated and reported the frequency of different behaviors, including the use of drugs and alcohol. Their teachers completed questionnaires (调查表) about the students' academic efforts. He found some students never or hardly ever reported dating from middle to high school, and these students had the best study skills according to their teachers. Other students dated infrequently in middle school but increased the frequency of dating in high school.“At all points in time, teachers rated the students who reported the lowest frequency of dating as having the best study skills and the students with the highest dating as having the worst study skills,” according to the journal article. Study skills refer to behaviors that lead to academic success such as doing work for extra credit, being well organized, finishing homework, working hard and reading assigned chapters.“Dating a classmate may have the sa me emotional complications of dating a co-worker,” Orpinas said, “When the couple break up, they have to continue to see each other in class and perhaps witness the ex-partner dating someone else. It is reasonable to think this could be linked to depression and divert (转移) attention from studying.”“Dating should not be considered a ceremony of growth in middle school.”Orpinas concluded. 28．According to the passage, students who date in middle school may_____.A. have poorer academic performancesB. be more likely to hurt othersC. enjoy better school livesD. are less likely to use alcohol and tobacco29．What can possibly happen to the school couples after they break up?A. They will miss their ex-partners sometimes.B. They don't want to see each other any longer.C. Their attention to studying will be affected.D. They will think it's reasonable to get depressed.30．Orpinas’ attitude towards dating in middle school is _____.A. supportiveB. negativeC. indifferentD. positive第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）阅读下面短文。
