A little after, the father again asked his son the 4th time, “What is this?” This time the son shouted at his father, “Why do you keep asking me the same question again and again? IT IS A CROW. Are you not able to understand this?” A little later the father went to his room and came back with an old diary, which he had kept since his son was born. On opening a page, he asked his son to read that page. When the son read it, the following words were written in the diary: “Today my little son aged three was sitting with me on the sofa when a crow was sitting on the window. My son asked me 23 times what it was, and I replied to him all 23 times that it was a crow. I hugged him lovingly each time he asked me the same question again and again for 23 times.

Johnson was born in a black family in Arkansas city in 1918. His father died in an accident when John was six. He was reaching the high school age, but his hometown offered no high school for blacks.Fortunately he had a strong-willed caring mother. John remembered that his mother told him many times, “Son, you can be anything you want really to be if you just believe.” She told him not to depend on others, including his mother. “You have to earn success, ”she said. “All the people who work hard dont succeed, but the only people who 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 hard work dont mean everything. So she worked hard as a cook for two years to save enough to take her son, who was then 15, to Chicago.Chicago in 1933 was not the promised land that black southerners were looking for. Johns mother and stepfather could not find work. But here John could go to school, and here he learned the power of wordsas 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, Johns mother offered him more 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. He always keeps his mothers words in mind. “ Son, failure is not in your vocabulary!”Now John H. Johnson is one of the 400 richest people in Americaworth $ 150 million.5.

The underlined sentence “Nothing beats a failure but a try. ”means _.A. if you try, you would succeedB. a failure is difficult to beat, even if you tryC. a try is always followed by a failureD. no failure can be beaten unless you try CThe biggest challenge faced by travelers especially those who like to have a backpacking trip is how to ensure a steady supply of clean clothes. Now, thanks to a great invention called Scrubba Wash Pack, that worry may be a thing of the past.The portable(可携带的) washing machine was invented by Ash Newland in xx, while planning to climb Mt. Kilimanjaro. Struck by the limited packing space, he got inspiration from traditional washboards to create a bag that could be used to clean clothes. Then he quitted his career as a lawyer and focused on perfecting the bags design. By xx, the bag was ready for the public. It weighed only 180 grams and required very little storage space, making it perfect for anyone wishing to travel light.Not surprisingly, the bag worth 55 dollars was in instant hit with travelers, university students and even passengers. However, Newland was not satisfied. He still saw a disadvantage with his inventiondirty clothes had to be carried around in a separate bag! The recently introduced Scrubba Wash Pack solves that problem.In order to make the pack active, dirty clothes are placed inside the bag along with two or three liters（升） of water. The bag is then shut tightly to ensure（确保）all air is squeezed（挤压）out and the clothes are massaged for a few minutes. After a quick wash, they are clean and ready to be dried. According to Newland, the pack can clean anything from jeans to smelly socks! Whats even more amazing is that with a capacity（容量）to hold 13-liters of water, it can be used to wash more clothes at a time.The best part is that the 99-dollar pack that will be available for sale later this year, only weighs 300 grams and is pletely foldable（折叠），making it easy to store when its not in use. With the Scrubba Wash Pack, wandering through foreign cities searching for a washing shop, or paying for washing machines may soon be a thing of the past!8. What led Ash Newland to create the Scrubba Wash Pack?A. His job requirements B. a traditional washboard C. His interest in invention D. His personal experience9. Why wasnt Ash Newland satisfied with his former invention?A. Clothes couldnt be washed well. B. The invention was not so convenient. C. The bag couldnt contain enough water. D. The cost of the invention was very high.10. It can be inferred that the improved Wash Pack _.A. turns to be much environmentally friendlier B. will replace the traditional washing machines C. will be widely used by more travelers in the futureD. can encourage more people to travel a long distance11. What is the purpose of this passage?A. To introduce a great new invention. B. To explain the development of backpackC. To list some mon problems for travelers D. To pare two kinds of washing machines DWhat do you think about the very first thing in the morning? Your thoughts during the first half-hour of the morning will greatly influence the entire day. You may not realize this, but it is a fact. If you set out with worry and depression, you are giving the key note to a day of discord (混乱) and misfortune. If you think about hope and happiness, you are sounding a note of harmony and success. Control your morning thoughts. The first moment on waking, no matter what your mood is, say to yourself, “I will get all the fort and pleasure possible out of this day, and I will do something to add to the measure of the worlds happiness or well-being. I will control myself when caused to be unhappy. I will look for the bright side of every event”. Once you say these things over to yourself in a calm way, you will begin to feel more cheerful. The worries and troubles of the ing day will give way. Do not let it discourage you if the moment you leave your room you e across a trouble or a disaster which usually happens. When a schoolboy boasts (吹嘘) of his strength, and says he can “beat any boy in school in games”, he generally gets a chance to prove it. When we declare we are brave enough to overe any fate, we find our strength put to the test at once. Regard the troubles you e across as the “punching bags” of fate (命运), given you to develop your spiritual muscle. Go at them with courage and strike them heavily. By and by the trouble will lessen, and you will find yourself the master of your fate.12. Why does the author say your thoughts in the morning are very important? A. Because the morning is usually the best time of a day. B. Because you are usually in high spirits in the morning. C. Because your mood of a day lies in your morning. D. Because your morning thoughts affect your fate greatly.13. What can we do to add to our pleasure? A. Avoid making any mistake in our work. B. Watching edy programs every day. C. Avoid reading the book with a sad ending. D. Look for the better side of every event. 14. According to the author your trouble will lessen if you _ . A. work hard every morning B. say youll be happy anyway C. get up early in the morning D. say youre an unlucky man15. The underlined words in the last paragraph refer to _ . A. a tool used for practicing boxing B. a test in our daily life C. a tool used for dealing with difficultyD. an enemy in our daily life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选项。 Our peers（同龄人) usually have a great influence on our lives. However, when it es to learning valuable lessons about life, we learn much more from older people than our peers. Unlike our peers, older people have a better understanding of life.16. So we can learn more from their seasoned knowledge. Many of my friends spend little time on their lessons and they just use their time to have fun. However, my uncle has taught me that if I focus on studying instead of playing all the time, my life will be more fulfilling(有成就的) later on.17. Also, older people can point us in the right direction and away from the mistakes they have already made. If we simply follow our peers, we will often run into similar problems.18 . My brother tried out for the football team last year and did not make it. Many of his peers told him to give up on the sport forever. But my father helped him realize that giving up was not the answer. Then my brother practiced harder.19 . In the end, older people can help us make the right decisions when we are in difficulties.20 . Older people have more life experience, and they can give us excellent advice.A. People who are your age are called peers.B. Thats because they have already been through it.C. In short, we learn more from older people than our peers.D. Its human nature to learn from other people in your age group.E. However, we can avoid them if we listen and learn from our elders.F. This year, not only did he make the team, but he was also the captain.G. Without his advice, I would not realize the importance of a good education.第二部分：完型填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项在答题卡上将该项涂黑。Dario and his mother loved their new apartment.
