AHow It Feels to Floatby Helaia FoxIf you're looking for a moving story that explores themes of mental illness, grief(悲哀), and love, pick up a copy of How It Feels to Float and follow Biz as she comesof age. This moving novel will stay with you long after you finish reading it.Two Can Keep a Secretby Karen M. MeManus Put on your crime-solving cap and get swept away in this thriller about a girl,a boy, and a string of unsolved murders. As threats and clues pile up, you’ll beburning the midnight oil trying to finish the book before dawn.Forest of a Thousand Lanternsby Julie C. DaoThe first book in the Rise of the Empress series takes the bones of a traditional fairy tale — a poor girl fated for power, an evil queen determined to stop her, love for someone who doesn't love back and magic — andgives them a richly imagined East Asian setting.Duneby Frank HerbertIf the Star Wars movies have made you fall in love with the space opera, eventually you're going to read Frank Herbert's most famous creation. The story of centuries-old political plotting — about warring factions(派系) battling over control of the extremely valuable planet Arrakis — is a classic and remains a wonderful introduction to the larger, more complex world of science fiction just beyond the Star Wars trilogies.21. What is How It Feels to Float mainly about?A. The murder of a teenage girl.B. A girl's space adventures.C. Challenges of growing up.D. A poor girl with special powers.22. What kind of book is Two Can Keep a Secret?A. A fairy tale.B. A science-fiction story.C. A love story.D. A detective story.23.Which book is about battling for control of another planet?A. How It Feels to FloatB. Two Can Keep a SecretC. Forest of a thousand LanternsD. DuneBAs a kid, Joanna Buckley wasn’t interested in s cience — until she had a chance to try it. That happened when she got a chemistry set for Christmas.“Over the course of a few weeks, I’d completed every experiment. But in the process, I polluted my parent’s dining room carpet and burnt the kitchen workto p with the spirit burner,〞 she says.Now science is Buckley’s job. She works in the chemistry department at the University of Sheffield in England. “I realize, first-hand, how important it is to have something or someone to show you why science is so great,〞 she says. Now the good news is that citizen science appears.Citizen science takes the fun of experimenting a step further than Buckley’s at-home chemistry kit. That’s because these experiments are real, looking for novel answers.“Compared with a one-off experiment, what’s cool about citizen science is that students get that this has a purpose,〞 says Prunuske，who teaches microbiology and immunology at a medical college . “Students want to do a good job, because they know scientists are going to use the new data in their own research.〞Jennifer Long’s job is to coordinate(协调) education and outreach. She agrees with Prunuske. “Kids like that it’s real. And they like that it’s important, that it matters.〞Citizen-science projects have made big discoveries. One found apreviously unknown galaxy cluster 〔星系团〕. Another project helped assess how much damage a big earthquake had caused in Japan. And one of the first citizen-science projects helped scientists learn where Monarch butterflies go every winter.Some adults worry about teens losing interest in science. That’s one reason they hope that fun, exciting citizen-science projects can help them keep engaged, Long says. And she has some evidence that it’s working, “Last year, we did have a couple of students say, ‘I really think I want to be a scientist now. 〞24. What is the purpose of paragraph 2?A. To support trials can make teens interested in science.B. To prove failure is the mother of success in science.C. To state Buckley has a talent for science.D. To praise Buckley for her strong will.25. Why is citizen science more fun?A. It needs to seek for new solutions.B. It carries out experiments frequently.C. It must carry out experiments in groups.D. It demands to handle complex problems.26. What can we know from what Prunuske said?A. She participated in the experiment.B. She took pride in what students took up.C. Citizen science is popular with students.D. Scientists are willing to employ students.27. What is Long’s attitude towards citizen science?A. Concerned.B. Supportive.C. Doubtful.D. Unclear.CYour circle of friends may help you get a better reading on your overall health and wellness rather than just using wearable devices such as a Fitbit, according to researchers.The study, published in the journal PLOS ONE, analyzed what the structure of social networks says about the state of health, happiness and stress."We were interested in the topololgy (拓扑学) of the social network — what does my position within my social network predict about my health and well-being said Nitesh V. Chawla, a professor at the University of Notre Dame in the US.“What we found was the social network structure provides a significant improvement in predictability of wellness states of an individual over just using the data obtained from wearables, like the number of steps or heartrate,〞 Chawla said.For the study, participants wore a Fitbit to capture health behavior data about walking, sleeping, heart rate and overall activity level. They also completed surveys and self-assessments of their stress, happiness andpositivity.Cbawla and his team then analyzed the data with a machine learning model, alongside the connections and characteristics of an individual's social network.The study showed a strong correlation (相关性) between social network structures, heart rate, number of steps and level of activity.Social network structure provided significant improvement in predicting one's health and well-being compared to just looking at health behavior data from the Fitbit alone.For example, when social network structure is combined with the data from wearables, the machine learning model achieved a 65 percent improvement in predicting happiness.The model also achieved a 54 percent improvement in predicting one's self-assessed health prediction, a 55 percent improvement in predicting positive attitude and a 38 percent improvement in predicting success.This study asserts (断言) that without social network information, we only have an incomplete view of an individual's wellness state, and to be fully predictive or to be able to obtain interventions (干扰). It is critical to be aware of the social network, Chawla said.28. What did the study find?A. How people choose their friend circles.B. What factors decide your friend circles.C. How your circle of friends influences youD. What your circle of friends says about your health.29. How did the researchers draw their conclusions?A. By comparing data.B. By giving examples.C. By analyzing cause and effectD. By describing personal experiences.30. What does the underlined word “critical〞 mean in the last paragraph?A. Easy.B. Common.C. Important.D. Challenging.31. What do Chawla's words in the last paragraph tell us?A How fitness devices can connect your circle of friendsB. That a person's social network is part of his health picture.C. The best ways to make friends and keep a healthy social circleD. That wearable devices are not useful for understanding someone's health.DWhile many of us may have been away somewhere nice last summer, few would say that we’ve “summered.〞“Summer〞 is clearly a noun, more precisely, a verbed noun.Way back in our childhood, we all learned the difference between a noun and a verb. With such a tidy definition, it was easy to spot the difference. Not so in adulthood, where we are expected to “foot〞bills, “chair〞committees, and “dialogue〞with political opponents. Chances are you didn’t feel uncomfortable about the sight of those verbed nouns.“The verbing of nouns is as old as the English language,〞says Patricia O’Conner, a former editor at The New York Times Book Review. Experts estimate that 20 percent of all English verbs were originally nouns. And the phenomenon seems tobe snowballing. Since 1900, about 40 percent of all new verbs have come from nouns.Even though conversion (转化) is quite universal, plenty of grammarians object to the practice. William Strunk Jr. and E.B.White, in The Elements of Style — the Bible for the use of American English —have this to say: “Many n ouns lately have been pressed into service as verbs. Not all are bad, but all are suspect.〞 The Chicago Manual of Style takes a similar standpoint, advising writers to use verbs with great care.“Sometimes people object to a new verb because they resist w hat is unfamiliar to them,〞says O’Conner. That’s why we’re comfortable “hosting〞 a party, but we might feel upset by the thought of “medaling〞 in sports. So are there any rules for verbing? Benjamin Dreyer, copy chief at Random House, doesn’t offer a rule, but suggests that people think twice about “verbifying〞 a noun if it’s easily replaceable by an already existing popular verb. Make sure it’s descriptive but not silly-sounding, he says.In the end, however, style is subjective. Easy conversion of nouns to verbs has been part of English grammar for centuries; it is one of the processes that make English “English.〞 Not every coinage (新创的词语) passes into general use, but as for trying to end verbing altogether, forget it.32. What can we learn about the verbing of nouns?A. It hasn’t recently been opposed by many grammarians.B. It is more commonly accepted by children than adults.C. It hasn’t been a rare phenomenon in the past century.D. It is easily replaced by existing verbs in practice33. What is most leading experts’ attitude towards the practice of the verbing of nouns?A. Cautious.B. Satisfied.C. Disappointed.D. Unconcerned.34.What does the author think of ending the verbing of nouns?A. Predictable.B. Practicable.C. Approaching.D. Impossible.35. What is the best title for the text?A. Are 40 Percent of all new verbs from nouns？B. Are Summering and Medaling Annoying?C. Are You Comfortable about a New Verb?D. Are There Any Rules for Verbing?第二节〔一共5小题；每一小题2分，满分是10分〕根据短文内容，从短文后的选项里面选出能填入空白处的最正确选项。

Did you lose consciousness?" I asked．Jerry continued, "The doctors and nurses were great．They kept telling me I was going to be fine．But when they wheeled me into the emergency room and I saw the expressions on the faces of the doctors and nurses, I got really scared．I knew I needed to take action．""What did you do?"

is getting new attention in the United State s—bullying．Recent cases included the tragic case of a fifteen-year-old girl whose family moved from Ireland．She hanged herself in Massachusetts in January following months of bullying．Her parents criticized her school for failing to protect her．Officials have brought criminal charges against severalteenagers．Judy Kaczynski is president of an anti-bullying group called Bully Police USA．Her daughter Tina was the victim of severe bullying starting in middle school in the state of Minnesota．She said, "Our daughter was a very outgoing child．She was a bubbly personality, very involved in all kinds of things, had lots of friends．And over a period of time her grades fell completely．She started having health issues．She couldn't sleep．She wasn't eating．She had terrible stomach pains．She started clenching （紧握，紧咬）her jaw and grinding her teeth at night．She didn't want to go to school．"Bullying is defined as negative behavior repeated over time against the same person．It can involve physical violence．Or it can be verba l—for example, insults or threats．Spreading lies about someone or excluding a person from a group is known as social or relational bullying．And now there is cyberbullying, which uses the Internet, e-mail or text messages．It has easy appeal for the bully because it does not involve face-to-face contact and it can be done at any time．The first serious research studies into bullying were done in Norway in the late 1970s．The latest government study in the United States was released last year．It found that about one-third of students aged twelve to eighteen were bullied at school．Susan Sweater is a psychologist at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln and co-director of the Bullying Research Network．She says schools should treat bullying as a mental health problem to get bullies and victims the help they need．She says bullying is connected to depression, anxiety and anti-social behavior, and bullies are often victims themselves．61．From the case of Tina, we can know that _____．A．bullying is rare B．victims suffered a lotC．schools are to blame D．personalities are related62．Which of the

anti-socialB．bullies should give victims helpC．students are not equally treatedD．bullies themselves also need help65．Which of the following can be the best title of the text?A．Bullyin g—An Irish Girl Committed SuicideB．15-year-old Irish Girl Committed SuicideC．Cyberbullyin g—Taking Off in SchoolsD．How to Find Bullying among TeensC"The days when the management in Western companies presented gold watches to long-serving employees to thank them for loyal service is now just a memory．" says the Educational and Training Support Agency．This new development in the shape and movement of the workforce throughout Western businesses is partly a result of the way that layers of middle management are being removed, leaving more workers responsible for their own development．"Having workers take responsibility for their own development might be dramatic, but it is now the rule," says the Educational and Training Support Agency．"Today, not only are workers more mobile, they have to run to keep up with changes．" says the Government-founded agency．"It is no longer enough for a worker to gain a set of skills．Workers need the ability to react and get used to changes．" This new system is also being pushed along by the way that industry is looking to its workers to renew their own skills．In the United States, some companies have contracts （合同）which repair their employees to show regularly how they have their skills up to date．Contrary to this traditions of the past, employers in the West are now looking for autonomous learners as recruits, people who can develop their own continuing education beyond the school and university system．At the same time．businesses are developing the capacity for workers to take up autonomous learning on site in workplace, so that the skills and abilities of all workers in a business continue to improve and increase．"This．of course," says business theory．"will also improve the productivity （生产率）of the workers and therefore the profits of the company．"66．The management in western companies no longer presents gold watches to their employees because _____．A．they are not loyal to companiesB．other rewards replace gold watchesC．the way prove to be a failureD．serving a company for life is rare now67．The western workforce frequently changes their jobs partly because _____．A．hopping from job to job has become a new trendB．employees are expecting to have more experiences in their lifeC．workers have to take more responsibility for themselvesD．it is easy to complete themselves by doing so68．The passage seems to suggest that the present situation in society requires that workers shouldA．show more loyalty to their companiesB．try to develop their skills to fit in with changesC．go to college to have their skills up to dateD．be quick in changing their careers if there is the possibility69．The phrase "autonomous learner" in the last paragraph means _____．A．people who have received higher educationB．people who study hard themselvesC．people who learn things very quicklyD．people who continue their study beyond regular education70．Companies require their employee's development mainly because _____．A．it will finally help to bring more profits to the companyB．it can attract more workers who pay special attention to self-developmentC．it is good for the employees to develop their skillsD．it will make workers more responsible and loyal to the companyPart Iv Writing （45 marks）Section A （10 marks）Directions Read．the following passage．Fill．in the numbered, blanks by using the information from the passage．Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer．Learning to improve your focus throughout the day can be a little difficult, only because we are talking about 18 to 24 hours, depending on the number of hours you sleep．However, if we break down your day into manageable time frames, it would make it much easier to learn to improve your focus．Focus, or concentration, is a skill that can be taught, so there are some exercises you can do to improve your focus．Start with easy exercises like staring at a picture on the wall for a few minutes without moving or talking to anyone．Once you learn how to block out your surroundings, your focus will improve．Other mind exercises you can do are internalizing．This is when you picture yourself in a desired situation, and then you work around your picture．Actors do this a lot to block out laughter, noise, or other distractions．An example of this would be to imagine you in a potentially stressful situation, like a singer in a concert．Try to play out the scene in your mind what you would do if different scenarios were to happen．This can actually be a lot of fun．and you learn how to improve your focus by concentrating on one thing only．If this sounds a little strange to you, you could try another strategy．Why not make lists? Make a list for the things you need to accomplish for the morning, another for the afternoon．and finally, another list for the evening．Study your lists carefully and see where you can move things around．For instance, if you have a dinner to arrange that evening, don't bunch up everything in the afternoon, right before the guests arrive．Divide your chores and errands between morning and afternoon, and give yourself an hour or two to relax before the guests arrive．Planning helps you focus．It will also not stress you out．Another way to improve your focus is to take breaks．If children have rest and lunch as their breaks, adults should also allow themselves the privilege of stopping for a drink or a 30 minute sitcom on TV．Of course, if you are working in an office, you are allowed coffee breaks．Use this time wisely．Don't spend it with your co-workers beside the coffee machine talking about problems in the office．Doing this would actually stress you and get you to lose focus on the things that need to be done．Your breaks should be as quiet as possible．Read a book．take a walk．or visit a daycare．Go and do anything that will give your brain a rest．The reason why we lose focus so easily is because we have too much on our minds．Of course, it could also be because you are bored with nothing to do all day．A good balance between a too relaxed brain and an overly active brain is a desirable situation to be in．Find your capacity to work, and try not to veer away too far from it on a daily basis．Improving your focusalso means knowing what you can do and being confident about doing it well．Focus is important but difficult to improve1．71 to improve your focusI ．Staring at picture．◆Staring at a wall picture 72 to learn to block out surroundingsⅡ．73 ．◆Concentrating on imagining a potentially stressful work place to block out 74Ⅲ．75 ．◆Dividing a day into 76 for chores and errands to be done．as well as arranging time for relaxationIV．Taking breaks．◆Wisely using time to have a drink, watch TV quietly instead of 77 ; just resting your brain2．78 for easily losing focus◆Having too much on minds◆79 all dayConclusion Keeping 80 between extremely relaxed brain and too active brain．Section B （10 marks）Directions Read．the following passage．Answer the questions according to the information given in the passage and the required words limit．Write your answers on your answer sheet．When I was 10 years old, my friend Sydney was diagnosed with a brain tumor．Sydney fought against it, but the tumor did not respond to treatment, and could not be surgically removed．The mass wrapped around her brain stem, the area of the brain that controls the vital functions of life such as breathing and blood pressure．Sydney died at the age of 11．After her death, I felt immense sadness and frustration about pediatric cancer．I decided to turn these negative emotions into positive actions．When I was 11 years old．I founded the Pink Polka Dots Guild（PPD）with two friends．The guild is named after Sydney s favorite color and pattern, which represents both the memory of my friend and the guild's positive approach．My goal has been to raise enough money to find a cure for brain cancer, which is the second most common cancer in children．Over the years, PPD has held fundraisers from lemonade stands to art expositions to golf tournaments．I have played a leading role in planning and organizing each PPD event．The very first Pink Polka Dots event, a garage sale．raised $ 9．000, and our most recent fundraiser, the fifth annual golf tournament, brought in over $ 73．000．The guild progressed faster than I ever anticipated．In five years, we have become 40 members strong, and raised almost half of a million dollars．I've been shocked by the public recognition that the guild has earned．PPD received an award from a U．S．Senator, spoke at a TED Conference, was featured in Teen Vogue, and appeared on The Note Berkus Show．Each of these honors has raised awareness and money for our cause．The initiative that I have taken has truly impacted the world of cancer research．PPD has provided start-up funding for scientific discoveries, such as "Tumor Paint", which illuminates cancerous cells so that surgeons can remove them with unprecedented accuracy．The discovery appeared in Time Magazine．, and will be reviewed by the Food & Drug Administration starting in early 2012．1 am extremely proud to have helped fund the research of this life-saving technology．Pink Polka Dots has inspired me to be an activist．My experience has taught me that with passion and dedication, it is possible to make a difference to the world．The determination that Pink Polka Dots sparked in me has carried over to all aspects of my life, making me a driven academic, a competitive debater and a dedicated volunteer．81．Why did the author feel sad and frustrated? （No more than 8 words）82．What was the author s purpose of founding PPD? （No more than 15 words）83．What achievement has PPD made in helping cancer research? （No more than 13 words）84．What did the author learn trom his own experience of founding PPD?

He had a habit of walking on the beach before he began his work.One day he was walking along the shore. As he looked down the beach, he saw a human figure moving like a dancer. He smiled to himself at the thought that someone would dance on the beach. So he began to walk faster to catch up.As he got closer, he saw that it was a young man and the young man wasn’t dancing, but instead he was reaching down to the shore, picking up something and very gently throwing it into the ocean.As he got closer he called out, “Good morning! What are you doing?”The young man paused, looked up and replied, “Throwing starfish in the ocean.”“I guess I should have asked, why are you throwing starfish in the ocean?”“The sun is up and the tide is going out. And if I don’t throw them in they’ll die.”“But, young man, don’t you realize that there are miles and miles of beach and starfish all along it. You can’t possibly make a difference!”The young man listened politely. Then he bent down, picked another starfish and threw it into the sea, past the breaking waves and said, “It made a difference for that one.”There is something very special in each and every one of us. We have all been gifted with the ability to make a difference. And if we can know that gift, we will gain through the strength of our visions the power to shape the future.We must each find our starfish. And if we throw our starfish wisely and well, the world will be better.56. One day, the wise man saw the young man ______.A. dancing along the beachB. walking with a dancerC. picking up starfish for saleD. trying to save starfish57. Near the end of the passage, “something very special ” refers to ______.A. the gifts from friendsB. the ability of shaping one’s own futureC. our own starfishD. the strength of making decision58. The writer told this story in order to show us ______.A. everyone can do something for the futureB. how and where we can write a good articleC. wise men are sometimes stupidD. young people are actually wiser than old peopleBMan is a land animal, but he is also closely tied to the sea. Throughout history the sea has served the needs of man. The sea has provided man with food and a convenient way to many parts of the world. Today, experts say that nearly two-thirds of the world’s population live within eighty kilometers of the seacoast.In the modern technological world the sea offers many resources to help mankind live on. Resources on land are beginning to grow less. The sea, however, still offers hope to supply many of man’s needs.The riches of the sea yet to be developed by man’s technology are impressive. Oil and gas exploration have existed for nearly thirty years. Valuable amounts of minerals such as, iron, copper andso on exist on the ocean floor, ready to be mined.Fish farming promises to be a good way to produce large quantities of food. The culture of fish and shellfish is an ancient skill practiced in the past mainly by Oriental peoples.Besides oil and gas, the sea may offer new sources of energy. Experts believe that the warm temperature of the ocean can be used in a way similar to the steam in a steamship. Ocean currents and waves offer possible use as a source of energy such as hydroelectric power.Technology is enabling man to explore ever deeper under the sea. The new undersea technology is providing divers with diving suits and undersea chambers that are kept at sea-level pressure. The development of strong, new materials has made this possible.The technology to harvest the sea continues to improve. By the 2020, experts believe that the problems to exploit the food, minerals, and energy sources of the sea will be largely solved.59. Why does the author mention a steamship in Paragraph 5?A. To express that man can make use of sources of energy from the sea.B. To argue that man should use steamships more than other means of transportation.C. To show that a steamship is better than other kinds of ship.D. To show that it is warmer in the ocean than on land.60. It can be inferred from the passage that ______.A. technology for exploring the sea has been solvedB. in the near future man can live on the ocean floorC. planting rice in the sea will be made possible in a short timeD. man hasn’t completely developed the riches of the sea.61. The word “harvest” in the last paragraph could be replaced by another word “______”.A. offerB. exploitC. promiseD. improveCIn America, drivers’ education is part of the regular high school curriculum. Every student in his or her second year of high school is required to take a class in driver s’ education. However, unlike other courses, it is not given during the regular school year. Instead it is a summer course.The course is divided up into two parts: class time for learning laws and regulations and driving time to practice driving. Class time is not unlike any other class. The students have a text from which they study the basic laws they must know to pass the written driving test that is given to anyone wanting toget a driver’s license.Driving time is a chance for the students to get behind the wheel and practice starting, steering, backing up, parking, switching lanes, turning corners, and all the other maneuvers required to drive a car. Each student is required to drive a total of six hours. The students are divided up into groups of four. The students and instructor go out driving for two-hour block of time. Thus, each student gets half an hour driving per outing. The instructor and “driver” sit in the front seats and the other three students sit in the back.Drivers Ed cars are unlike other cars in which they have two sets of brakes, one on the diver’s side and one on the other side where the instructor sits. Thus, if the student driver should run into difficulties the instructor can take over. The car also has another special feature. On the top of the car is a sign that reads: STUDENT DRIVER. That lets nearby drivers know that they should use extra caution because the student driver is a beginning driver, not very experienced and prone to driving slowly.After the student has passed the driver’s education course and reached the appropriate age to drive (this age differs in every state but in most cases the person must be 16 years old), they can go to a designated state office to take their driver s’ test, which is made up of an eye examination, a written test and a road. The person must pass all three tests in order to be given a driver’s license. If the person did well in his or her driver’s education class, he or she will pass the test with flying colors and get a driver’s license.62. We can infer that the students are required to ______ in their whole driving practice.A. go out driving for twelve timesB. spend at least six hours driving at a timeC. drive for two-hour blocks of timeD. get half an hour driving63. Which of the following doesn’t agree with the requirements for the students wanting to get thedrivers’ license?A. They must be 16 years of age.B. They should go to have their driver’s test.C. They must have their eyes examined.D. They ought to pass a road test.64. In the last sentence, “with flying colors” means ______.A. happilyB. colorfullyC. quicklyD. successfullyDWhy are so many people so afraid of failure? Simply because no one tells us how to fail so that failure becomes an experience that will lead to growth. We forget that failure is part of the humancondition and that every person has the right to fail.Most parents work hard at either preventing failure or protecting their children from the knowledge that they have failed. One way is to lower standards. A mother describes her child’s poorly made table as “Perfect!” even though it doesn’t stand still. Another way is to shift (转移) blame. If John fails science, his teacher is unfair or stupid.The trouble with failure-prevention ways is that they leave a child unequipped for life in the real world. They young need to learn that no one can be best at everything, no one can win all the time and that it’s possible to enjoy a game even when you don’t win. A child who’s not invited to a birthday party, who doesn’t make the honor list on the baseball team, feels terrible, of course. But parents should not offer a quick comfort, prize or say, “It doesn’t matter” because it does. The young should be allowed to experience disappointment —and be helped to master it.Failure is never pleasurable. It hurts grown-ups and children alike. But it can make a positive contribution to your life once you learn to use it. Step one is to ask “Why did I fail?” Don’t blame someone else. Ask yourself what you did wrong and how you can improve. If someone else can help, do n’t be shy about inquiring.Success, which encourages repetition of old behavior, is not nearly as good a teacher as failure. You can learn from a bad party how to give a good one, from an ill-chosen first house what to look for in a second. Even a failure that seems definitive can create fresh thinking, a change of direction. After 12 years of studying ballet a friend of mine took an interview for a professional company. She was turned down. “Would further training help?” she asked. The ballet master shook his head. “You will never be a dancer,” he said, “You haven’t the body for it.”In such cases, the way to use failure is to take assessment bravely and ask, “What have I left? What else can I do?” My friend put away her shoes and moved into dance treatment center, a field where she’s both able and useful. Failure frees one to take risks because there’s less to lose. Often there is recovery of energy— a way to find new possibilities.65. The first paragraph tells us ______.A. the reason why so many people are afraid of failureB. the reason why we don’t know how to failC. failure is very natural for every personD. one should be ready to face failure at any time66. The second paragraph tells us ______.A. how a mother praised her childrenB. two ways of failure prevention most parents used when their children failC. how to shift blameD. parents should blame their children at the proper time67. According to the author, what should a child know in the real world?A. Ways to avoid failure.B. No one can be best all the time at everything.C. No parents should offer quick comforts.D. He can get pleasure as well as success.EGreenspace facilities are contributing to an important degree to the quality of the city environment. Fortunately it is no longer necessary that every lecture or every book about this subject has to start with the proof of this idea. At present it is generally accepted, although more as a self-proved statement than on the base of a closely reasoned scientific proof. Recognizing the importance of greenspaces in the city environment is a first step on the right way. This does not mean, however, that enough details are known about the functions of greenspace in towns and about the way in which people are using these spaces. As to this subject I shall within the scope of this lecture, enter into one aspect only, namely the recreative function of greenspace facilities.The separation in theory of living, working, traffic and recreation which for many years has been used in town and country planning, has in my opinion resulted in more attention for forms of recreation far from home, while there was relatively little attention for improvement of recreative possibilities in the direct neighborhood of the home. We have come to the conclusion that this is not right, because an important part of the time, which we do not pass in sleeping or working, is used for activities at and around home. So it is obvious that recreation in the open air has to begin at the street door of the house. The city environment has to offer as many recreation activities as possible, and the design of these has to be such that more required activities can also have recreative aspect.The very best standard of living is nothing if it is not possible to take a pleasant walk in the district, if the children cannot be allowed to play in the streets because the risks of traffic are too great, if during shopping you can nowhere find a spot for enjoying for a moment the nice weather, in short, if you only feel yourself at home after the street door of your house is closed after you.68. The importance of greenspaces in the city environment ______.A. has been recognizedB. is paid little attention toC. is still unknownD. is accepted on the base of scientific proof69. According to the author, greenspaces should be designed ______.A. to reduce the number of recreative activitiesB. to attract more and more peopleC. for people to do recreation at the street door of the houseD. for people to use more conveniently70. The main idea of this passage is that ______.A. attention must be paid to the improvement of recreationB. greenspace facilities should be used better to improve the quality of lifeC. the city environment is providing more recreative activitiesD. we should try our best to raise our living standard第四节: 任务型阅读(共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分)请认真阅读下面短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入最恰当的单词。
