I didn’t know why.“Look down,” Father said. I tried and saw the square in the centre of the village.And I saw the streets to the square.“See, Elsa,” Father said.“There is more than one way to the square. If you can’t get where you want to go by one road, try another.”Earlier that day I asked Mother to do something about what we had for lunch at school.But she didn’t think the food was as bad as I said. When I turned to Father for help,he brought me to the church.At school the next day, I filled a bottle with the soup for our lunch and took it home.I told the cook to pour the soup in a plate and bring it to Mother. She drank it and cried out,“What’s the matter with the soup today?” I at once told her what I had done,and Mother said that she would take up the matter of lunches at school the next day.Now I really understood why Father had taken me to the church. I began to work as a fashion designer two years ago. I wouldn’t stop working until I tried every way to my goal.56. The writer’s father took her to the church to ______.A. play some gamesB. see the squareC.show her the wayD.give her a lesson57. Elsa really wanted her mother to_____.A. cook something better for her lunchB. have lunch with her at schoolC.talk the matter over with the teacherD.tell the cook to work hard58．Why did Elsa’s mother agree to do something about the matter? Because_______.A. the writer tried a better way to her goalB. the girl brought something home from schoolC. she thought what the cook said was trueD.

Elsa’s father’s words mean______.A. one can reach the square in many waysB. never stopping trying to get to your goalC. it’s difficult to talk anything to Elsa’s motherD. you can’t get what you want easily when you are young60. When_____,the writer really understood what her father had said.A. she saw the streets to the squareB. she had the idea of bringing the soup homeC. she tried every way to get to her goal at schoolD. she began her own life as a fashion designerBFrom age eight to eleven, I attended a small school in Bath, England. It was a small school of four classes with about twenty-five children in each class according to age. For the most part, one teacher had to teach all subjects to the children in the class. However, sometimes the headmaster, Mr Ronald Broaches, would come in and spend an hour or so, teaching some subjects in which he was especially interested. He was a large man with a very happy nature. He had a sense of humor and loved telling the children small stories that would make us laugh. He was a very nice man and had a great influence on many of the children. In my own case, I found that he took great interest in me and he quickly found that I enjoyed puzzles. He would often stop me as I was going to class and take a piece of paper out of his pocket, often with a puzzle already on it. The puzzles were usually mathematical or logical（逻辑的）. As time went on, they slowly got more difficult, but I loved them. Not only did they make me interested in math and problem-solving that stays with me to this day, but also they showed me that intellectual(智力的) activity was enjoyable when the correct answers were found, but perhaps more importantly it was great fun. To this day, I can remember Mr Broaches’ cheerful cry of “Well done!” wheneverI got a problem right. The simple communication with a man whom I loved greatly has hada deep influence on my life. I shall forever be thankful that we met each other. Mr Broaches died just two weeks after I had won the 1993 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine. Unluckily, I had no chance to speak to him before he died. I learnt later he had heard of my success and I will hope that he knew the deep influence he had made on my life.61.There were ____ children in each class when Richard was in the schoolin Bath, England.A. 4B. 8C. 11D.2562.

What is the best title for the text?A. The Story of Mr Broaches.B. The Story of Richard J. Roberts.C. My Early School Life.D. An Important Teacher in My Life.CIn the past ten years, many scientists have studied the differences between men and women. And they all got the same answer: The sexes(性别) are different, because their brains are different. And this, the scientists say, makes men and women see the world in different ways.Boys, for example, generally are better than girls at mathematical ideas. Boys also generally are better than girls at the kind of hand and eye movements necessary for ball sports. Girls, on the other hand generally start speaking earlier than boys. And they generally see better in the dark than boys and are better at learning foreign languages.What makes men and women better at one thing or another? The answer is the brain. The brain has two sides connected by nerve(神经) tracks. The left side generally is used for mathematics, speech and writing. The right side is used for artistic creation(创造) and the expression for emotions(情感). In men and women, different areas in each side of th e brain develop differently. In boys, for example, it’s the area used for mathematics. In girls, it is the area used for language skills. Another interesting difference is that the two sides of a man’s brain are connectedby a smaller nerves than the two sides of a woman’s brain are.66. Which of the following is best to outline(概括) the article?A. Research on the BrainB. Differences Between Men and WomenC. People’s Different BrainsD. Who Are Better, Boys or Girls67. ___________ men and women think differently.A. sex makesB. The different brains makeC. The different experiences makeD. The influences ( 影响) of society make68. According to the article, girls are generally better than boys at ________in your school.A. mathematicsB. physicsC. EnglishD. Chemistry69. Which of the following is true?A. The left side of brain in boys generally develops better than that in girls.B. The left side of brain in girls generally develops better than that in boys.C. Men are better than women in all things.D. The area in girls used for language skills develops better.70．In men and women the number of nerves connecting the halves of brain____ . A.is the same B. is different C. is zero D. can’t be found out七选五:71. __________The Marine Science Center offers nearly four hours of an educational adventure. Observing restoring Sea Turtles, lab experiments,taking our ExhibitGallery challenge, and learning from educational beach activities are a uniqueand fun way to educate all ages about the fragile （脆弱的）environment inFlorida．72. __________We require a 1 to 10 ratio （配额）of guardians（监护人）to students.

AWhether you’re a boy or a girl and whether you're a freshman or a senior, developing the following skills will help you achieve success in school and in life.Time management. There are just 24 hours in each day. What you do with that time makes all the difference. While high-school students have an average of 35 hours per week of class time, college students have an average of 15 to 18 hours per week. Manage your free time wisely and you'll make full use of each day.Good study habits. If you've got them, it's great. If not, there's still time to develop them. Good study habits include the following :• Always be prepared for class, and attend classes regularly. No cutting!• Finish homework in a timely manner.• Review your notes daily rather than study for tests the night before.• Set aside quiet time each day for study, even if you don't have homework or a test the next day!Good note-taking. You can't possibly set down everything the teacher says since we talk at a pace of about 225 words per minute. But, you do need to set down the important material. Note-taking should be in a way that's the most helpful to you. You can try writing notes on different colored cards. If you really have a problem with note-taking, you might ask your teacher if you can record daily lessons. Do whatever it takes!Review of daily notes. Don't wait until the night before the test to review your notes. Go over your notes each day while the lecture is still fresh in your mind. Add any missing pieces. Compare your notes with a classmate's notes. Review your noteseach day to improve your learning and build towards your final goal: mastery of the subject or skill.1. If you want to make good use of each day, you should .A. achieve success in school and in lifeB. deal with your free time in a wise wayC. develop good study habits earlierD. set aside some quiet time for study2. If you want to form good study habits, you should .A. get them as early as you canB. study for tests the night beforeC. set down all the teacher saysD. go over your notes every day3. What is the main advantage of reviewing of daily notes?A. To help write down the important material.B. To solve the problem with note-taking timely.C. To help you to master the subject greatly.D. To add any missing pieces to your notes.4. What's the best title for the passage?A. Tips for students to achieve success.B. Wise time use and management.C. The importance of good study habits.D. Good note-taking and review of daily notes.BAvalanches (雪崩) are one of those natural disasters that can cause great damage and only Mother Nature knows when and where they are going to occur. Even with modern technology it is still impossible to know exactly when or where one is going to occur. Mountain climbers are wise to be careful, as avalanches kill many of them each year. The physics of how and why an avalanche occurs is complex. There are times of higher probability. During the year, the transition（转变）from winter to spring will cause some snow and ice to melt, which may trigger(引起) avalanches. Also at daybreakthere is a higher probability due to the temperature change.While climbers hike up slopes, some distance between the climbers should be kept. If an avalanche occurs, then there will be fewer lives lost and a higher probability that someone will be able to seek help. Since an accident is more likely to happen when a top layer of snow is loose, avoid areas where heavy snow or rain has recently occurred.Try to choose areas that you are familiar with and stay in areas with rocks, bushes and trees. Trees and bushes allow snow to pile up and keep the layers stable. If an avalanche occurs, trees will take the impact of the snow, so there is a better chance of being safe.Climbers must pay attention to the degree of the slope. Avalanches won’t occur on level ground and there is little snowfall on very steep areas. The greatest danger is in areas where the slope is between 25 and 40 degrees.Remember that, if you get stuck in an avalanche, there is no car hire available to take you to the nearest airport.5. What do we know from the first paragraph?A. Many mountain climbers die of avalanches each year.B. Of all the natural disasters, avalanches cause the greatest damage.C. Most climbers who meet avalanches die for not paying enough attention toavalanches.D. With the development of science and technology, avalanches can now be predicted exactly.6. Why is there a higher probability that an avalanche occurs at daybreak?A. Because daybreak is the coldest time of the day in the mountain.B. Because it often snows heavily in the mountains at daybreak.C. Because temperature changes at daybreak.D. Because the top layer snow is loose at daybreak.7. It wouldn’t be a good idea for a climber to _______ while climbing a mountain.A. Keep some distance from other climbersB. Avoid areas where heavy snow or rain has recently occurred.C. Choose areas that he or she is familiar withD. Climb up a slope which is between 25 and 40 degreesCThis year some twenty-three hundred teenagers (young people aged from13~19) from all over the world will spend about ten months in U.S. homes. They will attend U.S. schools, meet U.S. teenagers, and form impressions of the real America. At the same time, about thirteen hundred American teenagers will go to other countries to learn new languages and gain a new understanding of the rest of the world.Here is a two-way student exchange in action. Fred, nineteen, spent last year in Germany with George's family. In turn, George's son Mike spent a year in Fred's home in America.Fred, a lively young man, knew little German when he arrived, but after two months' study the language began to come to him. School was completely different from what he had expected----much harder. Students rose respectfully when the teacher entered the room. They took fourteen subjects instead of the six that are usual in the United States. There were almost no outside activities.Family life, too, was different. The father's word was law, and all activities were around the family rather than the individual. Fred found the food too simple at first. Also, he missed having a car."Back home, you pick up some friends in a car and go out and have a good time. In Germany, you walk, but you soon learn to like it."At the same time, in America, Mike, a friendly German boy, was also forming his idea. "I suppose I should criticize (批评) American schools," he said. "It is far too easy by our level. But I have to say that I like it very much. In Germany we do nothing but study. Here we take part in many outside activities. I think that maybe your schools are better in training for citizens. There ought to be some middle ground between the two."8. This year _____ teenagers will take part in the exchange programme between America and other countries.A. twenty-three hundredB. thirteen hundredC. over three thousandD. less than two thousand9. The whole exchange programme is mainly to _____.A. help teenagers in other countries know the real AmericaB. send students in America to travel in GermanyC. let students learn something about other countriesD. have teenagers learn new languages10. What is particular in American schools is that _____.A. there is some middle ground between the two teaching buildingsB. there are a lot of after-school activitiesC. students usually take fourteen subjects in allD. students go outside to enjoy themselves in a car11. After experiencing the American school life, Mike thought __________.A.A better school included something good from both American and Germany.B.German schools trained students to be better citizen.C.American schools were not as good as German schools.D.The easy life in the American school was more helpful to students.DIn modern society there is a great deal of argument about competition. Some value it highly, believing that it is responsible for social progress and prosperity. Others say that competition is bad; that it sets one person against another; that it leads to unfriendly relationship between people.I have taught many children who held the belief that their self-worth relied on how well they performed at tennis and other skills. For them, playing well and winning are often life-and-death affairs. In their single-minded pursuit of success, the development, of many other human qualities is sadly forgotten.However, while some seem to be lost in the desire to succeed, others take an opposite attitude. In a culture which values only the winner and pays no attention to the ordinary players, they strongly blame competition. Among the most vocal areyoungsters who have suffered under competitive pressures from their parents or society. Teaching these young people, I often observe in them a desire to fail. They seem to seek failure by not trying to win or achieve success. By not trying, they always have an excuse: “I may have lost, but it doesn’t matter because I really didn’t try.” What is not usually admitted by themselves is the belief that if they had really tried and lost, that would mean a lot. Such a loss would be a measure of their worth. Clearly, this belief is the same as that of the true competitors who try to prove themselves. Both are based on the mistaken belief that one’s self-respect relies on how well one performs in comparison with others. Both are afraid of not being valued. Only as this basic and often troublesome fear begins to dissolve (缓解) can we discovera new meaning in competition.12. What does this passage mainly talk about?A. Competition helps to set up self-respect.B. Opinions about competition are different among people.C. Competition is harmful to personal quality development.D. Failures are necessary experiences in competition.13. Why do some people favor competition according to the passage?A. It pushes society forward.B. It builds up a sense of duty.C. It improves personal abilities.D. It encourages individual efforts.14. The underlined phrase “the most vocal” in Paragraph 3 means _____.A. those who try their best to winB. those who value competition most highlyC. those who are against competition most stronglyD. those who rely on others most for success15. Which point of view may the author agree to?A. Every effort should be paid back.B. Competition should be encouraged.C. Winning should be a life-and-death matter.D. Fear of failure should be removed in competition.第二节（共 5 小题，每小题 2 分，满分10 分）根据短文内容，从短文后的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项。

AI never thought I would have a life-changing experience at Wal-Mart.Although my thoughts were only on speed, the checkout line I was standing in wasn’t moving as quickly as I wanted, and I glanced toward the cashier.There stood a man in his seventies, wearing glasses and a nice smile. I thought, well, he’s an old guy!For the next few minutes I watched him. He greeted every customer before scanning the items. Sure, his words were the usual, “How’s it going?〞 But he did something different----he actually listened to people. Then he would respond to what they had said and engage them in brief conversation.I thought it was odd. I have grown accustomed to people asking me how I was doing simply out of robotic conversational habit. After a while, you don’t give any thought to the question and just mumble something back. I could say, “I just found out I have six months to live,〞and someone would reply, “Have a great day!〞But that wasn’t the end.He gave them the change, walked around the counter, and extended his right hand in an act of friendship. He looked the customers in the eyes. “I sure want to thank you for shopping here today,〞he told them. “You have a great day. Bye-bye.〞The looks on the faces of the customers were priceless. There were smiles and some sheepish grins. All had been touched by his simple gesture and in a place they never expected. They would gather their things and walk out, smiling.Of course, he did the same to me and I got to know his name. Marty.I had never walked away from that shop feeling like that.21. According to the writer, when common people ask you “How’s it going?〞.A. they don’t real ly care what you may answerB. they are just practicing their conversation abilityC. they are inquiring about your private informationD. they don’t expect to hear any negative answers22. What was most customers’ reaction to Marty’s behaviors?A. They thought it worthless.B. They were in some way moved.C. They thought it awful and odd.D. They felt somewhat offended.23. What does the writer intend to express through the text?A. Our everyday life is always full of surprises.B. Most customers enjoy being treated this way.C. Being different is a good way of doing business.D. A little positive action can make a big difference.BJumping across citiesForget about expensive gyms; the new sport in citiesis free-running. Since it started in a Paris suburbaround 1995, free-running has attracted lots of fans incities around the world. Instead of walking normally,free-runners jump over or around anything―cars,buildings, trees, or streetlights―in their way.One of the sport’s inventors told o ur reporter how free-running started.It was boring where we lived. There was nothing for us to do after school. We had done playground games like football and basketball when we were kids but we wanted something new and exciting. We started learning how to jump and run between buildings―and we loved it. Walking is a waste of time. Free-runners have to use their imaginations. Everything―a tree, a streetlight―is part of our outdoor gym. We’re like children because we have never stopped playing in the street.The sport’s website has lots of rules, for example, don’t break people’s windows, don’t jump on flowerbeds and don’t be rude to people who want you to stop. Safety is also very important. You must start with the easy moves―you have to do thousands of small practice jumps before you try anything difficult. If you made only one mistake, you might hurt yourself badly.A local person said, “It’s good that young people have something to do. But when they jump off buildings like cats, they sometimes frighten other people.〞Don’t try this at home: the basics of free-running Blind Jump: a jump where you can’t see the landing spot.Tic-tac:run and put your foot on a small step, go forward and jump over the nextthing.Basic Jump: run and jump, land on two feet while bending your knees. To finish roll into head-over-heels.Cat Jump:run towards a wall, put both hands on the top of the wall and jump through your arms.24. Free-running started __________.A. about twenty years agoB. with the help of schoolsC. in big cities of AmericaD. among famous sportsmen25. Free-runners shouldn’t ____________.A. use their imaginationsB. start with the easy movesC. jump on flowerbedsD. run between buildings26. According to the passage, free-running is a(n)__________sport.A. ancientB. expensiveC. safeD. exciting27. The purpose of this passage is to ___________.A. explain the importance of outdoor activitiesB. introduce some information about free-runningC. warn children not to join in dangerous sportsD. advise people to do more exercise at home firstCShopping is not as simple as you may think! There are all sorts of tricks at play each time we reach out for that particular brand of product on the shelf. Coloring, for example, varies according to what the producers are trying to sell. Health foods are packaged in greens, yellows or browns because we think of these as healthy colors. Ice cream packets are often blue and expensive goods, like chocolates, are gold or silver.When some kind of pain killer was brought out recently, researchers found that the colors turned the customers off because they made the product look weak and ineffective. Eventually, it came on the market in a dark blue and white package—blue because we think of it as safe, and white as calm.The size of a product can attract a shopper. But quite often a bottle doesn’t contain as much as it appears to.It is believed that the better-known companies spend, on average, 70 percent of the total cost of the product itself on packaging!The most successful producers know that it’s not enough to have a good product. The founder of Pears soap, who for 25 years has used pretty little girls to promote (推销) their goods, came to the c onclusion: “Any fool can make soap, but it takes a genius to sell it.〞28. Which of the following may trick a shopper into buying a product according to the text?A. The cost of its package.B. The price of the product.C. The color of its package.D. The brand name of the product.29. The underlined part “the colors turned the customers off〞 (in Para.3) means that the colors _________.A. attracted the customers stronglyB. caused the customers to lose interestC. tricked the customers into shoppingD. had weak effects on the customers30. Which of the following is the key to the success in product sales?A. The way to promote goods.B. The discovery of a genius.C. The team to produce a good product.D. The brand name used by successful producers.31. Which of the following would be the best title for this text?A. Choice of Good ProductsB. Disadvantages of ProductsC. Effect of Packaging on ShoppingD. Brand Names and Shopping TricksDWhy do Americans struggle with watching their weight, while the French, who consume rich food, continue to stay thin? Now a research by CornellUniversity suggests how life style and decisions about eating may affect weight. Researchers concluded that the French tend to stop eating when they feel full. However, Americans tend to stop when their plate is empty or their favorite TV show is over.According to Dr. Joseph Mercola, a health expert, the French see eating as an important part of their life style. They enjoy food and therefore spend a fairly long time at the table, while Americans see eating as something to be squeezed between the other daily activities. Mercola believes Americans lose the ability to sense when they are actually full. So they keep eating long after the French would have stopped. In addition, he points out that Americans drive to huge supermarkets to buy canned and frozen foods for the week. The French, instead, tend to shop daily, walking to small shops and farmers’markets where they have a choice of fresh fruits, vegetables, and eggs as well as high-quality meats for each meal.After a visit to the United States, Mireille Guiliano, author of French Women Don’t Get Fat, decided to write about the importance of knowing when to stop rather than suggesting how to avoid food. Today she continues to stay slim and rarely goes to the gym.In spite of all these differences, evidence shows that recent life style changes may be affecting French eating habits. Today the rate of obesity — or extreme overweight —among adults is only 6%. However, as American fast food gains acceptance and the young reject older traditions, the obesity rate among French children has reached 17% — and is growing.32. In what way are the French different from Americans according to Dr. Joseph Mercola?A. They go shopping at supermarkets more frequently.B. They squeeze eating between the other daily activities.C. They regard eating as a key part of their lifestyles.D. They usually eat too much canned and frozen food.33. This text is mainly the relationship between _________.A. Americans and the FrenchB. life style and obesityC. children and adultsD. fast food and overweight34. The text is mainly developed __________.A. by contrastB. by spaceC. by timeD. by importance35. Where does this text probably come from?A. A TV interviewB. A food advertisementC. A health reportD. A book review 第二节 (共5小题；每一小题2分，总分为10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最优选项。

河南省方城县第一高级中学2014-2015学年高二12月月考英语试题第I卷阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题;每小题2分，满分30分）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，并在题卡上将该项涂黑。

AEducation is not an end, but a means to an end. In other words, we do not educate children only for the purpose of educating them. Our purpose is to fit them for life.In some modern countries it has for some time been fashionable to think that by free education for all-whether rich or poor, clever or stupid-one can solve all the problems of society and build a perfect nation. But we can already see that free education for all is not enough; we find in such countries a far larger number of people with university degrees refuse to do what they think to be "low" work, and, in fact, work with hands is thought to be dirty and shameful in such countries. But we have only to think a moment tounderstand that the work of a completely uneducated farmer is far more important than that of a profess-or, we can live without education, but we die if we have no food. If no one cleaned our streets and took the rubbish away from our houses, we should get terrible diseases in our towns.In fact, when we say that all of us must be educated to fit us for life, it means that we must be educated in such a way that, firstly, each of us can do whatever work suited to his brains and ability and, secondly, that we can realize that all jobs are necessary to society, and that is very bad to be ashamed of one's work. Only such a type of education can be considered valuable to society.1. From the passage we can conclude that______.A. education can settle all of the world's problemsB. free education for all probably leads to a perfect worldC. free education won't help to solve social problemsD. all the social problems can't be solved by education2. The writer wants to prove that _____.A. our society needs all kinds of jobsB. our society needs free education for allC. a farmer is more important than a professorD. people with university degrees refuse to do what they think to be "low" work3. According to the passage _____.A. work with hands is dirty and shamefulB. work with hands is low workC. work with hands is the most importantD. we can't regard work with hands as low work4. The purpose of education is _____.A. to choose a system of educationB. to prepare children mainly for their future workC. to let everyone receive education fit for himD. to build a perfect world5. The passage tells us about _____.A. system of educationB. means of educationC. value of educationD. type of educationBDo you sometimes argue about what seems to you to be a simple fact? Do youargue whether it’s cold outdoors or whether the car in front of you is going faster thanthe speed limit?If you get into such arguments, try to think about the story about the six blind men and the elephant. The first blind man who felt the elephant’s trunk said it was like a snake. The second who felt the elephant’s side said it was like a wall, while the third said it was like a spear as he touched the animal’s tusk. The fourth, who took hold of the elephant’s tail insisted that it was like a rope. The fifth man said it looked like a tree as he put his arms around one of the elephant’s legs. The sixth, who was tall and got hold of theelephant’s ears, sai d it was like a huge fan.Each man’s idea of the animal came from his own experience. So if someone disagrees with you about a “simple fact”, it’s often because his experience in the matter is different from yours.To see how hard it is for even one person to make up his mind about a “simple fact”, try this simple experiment. Get three large bowls. Put ice water in one. Put hot water in the second. Put lukewarm water in the third. Now put your left hand in the ice water. Put your right hand in the hot water. After thirty seconds, put both hands in the lukewarm water. Your right hand will tell you the water is cold. Your left hand will tell you it’s hot.6. What makes people think about simple facts differently?A. The fact that simple facts differ from one another.B. The fact that people have different experience in the same simple fact.C. The fact that people often disagree with one another.D. The fact that it’s hard to make up one’s mind about simple facts.7. The writer’s advice is that ________.A. we should never think about simple factsB. we should never judge something with a one-sided viewC. we should not agree about simple factsD. we must learn from the six blind men8. What’s the main idea of this passage?A. People often judge something according to their own experience.B. People often agree about simple facts.C. It’s hard for a person to make up his mind about a simple fact.D. Don’t care too much about simple facts.CHOLIDAY FUN AT THE POWERHOUSE500 HAR RIS STREET ULTIMO •TELEPHONE (02)9270111Join in the holiday fun at the Powerhouse this month linked to our new exhibition, Evolution & Revolution Chinese dress 1700s to now.

Researchers have found that people missing their goals perform much better in the long run. That is because they gain more knowledge from their failures than their successes and the lessons are more likely to stay longer in their minds.“We found that the knowledge gained from success was often fleeting while knowledge from failure stuck around for years,” said professor Desai, who led the study. “But companies often ignore failure. Managers may fire people or turn over the whole workforce while they should treat the failure as a learning opportunity.”Prof Desai compared the flights of the space shuttle Atlantis and the Challenger. During the Atlantis flight last year, a piece of insulation (绝缘体) broke off and damaged the left solid rocket booster (助推火箭) but didn’t influence the program. There was little investigation. The Challenger was launched next and another piece of insulation broke off. This time the shuttle and its seven–person crew were destroyed. The disaster led to a major investigation resulting in 29 changes to prevent future disasters.The difference in response in the two cases came down to this Atlantis was considered a success and the Challenger a failure.“Despite crowded skies, airlines are extremely reliable,” he said. “The number of failures is extremely small. And past researches have shown that older airlines, those with more experience in failure, have a lower number of accidents.”Prof Desai doesn’t recommend finding out failure in order to learn. Instead, he advises organizations to analyze small failures to collect useful information rather than wait for major failures.13. Why did experts pay little attention to the problem of Atlantis?A. Because it worked perfectly.B. Because the right booster was still OK.C. Because nothing serious happened then.D. Because fewer people died in the flight.14. Fewer accidents happen to older airlines in that ________.A. their planes couldn’t fly high in the skyB. they gained much from experience in failureC. their planes were often checked by the expertsD. they were unpopular among passengers15. The passage is written mainly to ________.A. show failure is a better teacher than successB. explain why Challenger failedC. introduce something about Prof DesaiD. tell managers how to achieve success第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

With the sweet smell of roses in the air, romantic films hit cinemas and love stories fill newspapers and magazines.On the 14th day, it is a custom for a boy to take his girlfriend out to dinner, buy her flowers and chocolates, write poems, sing to her or even spell out her name with rose petals! This is what you see on Valentine’s Day, a day named after Valentine who was a priest in the third century Rome. When the emperor (皇帝) decided that single men could become better soldiers than those with wives, he didn’t allow marriage. But Valentine continued to perform marriage ceremonies for young lovers in secret. When his actions were discovered, the emperor sentenced him to death. While in prison, it is said that Valentine fell in love with the daughter of his prison guard. Before his death, he wrote her a letter, which he signed “From your Valentine”, an expression that is still in use today. Valentine died for what he believed in and so he was made a Saint (圣徒), as well as becoming one of history’s most romantic characters.Nowadays, Valentine’s Day is also popular among Chinese young people. Some students are planning to make Valentine’s cards for parents, teachers and friends. Others want to hold parties at which they will exchange small gifts and eat heart-shaped cakes. The idea is to have fun and encourage people to share in the spirit of St. Valentine.4．Why did the emperor in Rome not allow marriage in his country?A. Because there were few women in his country at that time.B. Because he thought men without wives could be better soldiers.C. Because there wasn’t enough food for so many people.D.

Valentine’s Day is also popular in China now7．The best title for this passage should be ______.A. Valentine’s DayB. A Brave PriestC. Valentine’s Day in ChinaD. A Romantic ManCThe weather is getting hotter. You are thirsty playing basketball or riding home from school. A cold drink may be just the thing. But be careful what you are drinking. Something that looks cool may not be good for your health. There are plenty of “energy drinks” on the market. Most of them have beautiful colors and cool names.
