As a small boy, he kept trying new things. At age 12, he started a sports club for his friends and got their school to have a field day with active games and prizes. As he grew and practiced, Gilbert became skilled at pole vaulting(撑杆跳高), pull-ups, the long jump and football.Gilbert broke the world record for pull-ups in 1900 and the distance record for running long dive in 1902. And he won a gold medal in the pole vault at the Olympic Games in 1908. By that time, he had nearly finished medical studies. Choosing not to make medicine his career, Gilbert co-founded Mysto Manufacturing, a manufacturer of magic sets, in 1907. Gilbert had amused his friends and earned college money by doing magic tricks, so he knew what was needed. One day, Gilbert saw workers using steel girders(钢梁) to build towers for power lines. That gave him the idea for the Erector Set, a popular construction toy.In 1917, the Council of National Defense thought no toys should be produced for Christmas because the country was fighting in World War I. Gilbert and other men from the Toy Manufacturers of America went to Washington, with about 40 different toys. They had 15 minutes to speak. This meeting was at the end of a long, hard day. Gilbert told the government men at the meeting how toys helped children learn. His helpers brought out the toys. Soon, the tired government men were on the floor, playing with building sets, models of navy ships, and other toys. The time limit was forgotten; so was the Christmas toy ban(禁令).Gilbert spent the rest of his life improving erector sets. His company made and sold the sets, plus chemistry and other science sets and toy trains. He made items for homes, businesses, and the army. When he died in 1961, he had 150 patents (专利)for his many inventions. But his main joy was in helping children learn and have fun at the same time.34. Whats the right order of the events about Gilbert?a.He argued against a ban on toy production.b.He broke the world record for pull-ups.c.He set up a manufacturer of magic sets.d.He started a sports club for his friends.e.He won a gold medal in the pole vault.A. b, d, e, a, c B. b, a, e, d, cC. d, b, c, e, a D. d, c, e, b, a35. The story mentioned in paragraph 3 shows that _.A. Gilberts toys interested not only children but adultsB. toys could help children learn about World War IC. toys were a danger to the Council of National DefenseD. Christmas toys were not popular during wartime36.

B 37. D 37. C推理判断题。根据文章最后徐一句话“But his main joy was in helping children learn and have fun at the same time”可以推测Gilbert制造玩具是想让这些玩具对孩子有所影响并帮助他们学习，因为他自己这一生就是受其影响才有如此成就的，故选C。C【海南省（海南中学、文昌中学、海口市第一中学、农垦中等八校2018届高三上学期新起点联盟】、Lately,my 90-year-old mom has been more and more quiet and sleepy.This is very odd and disturbing.At the same time,my 92-year-old father has been suffering his own health problems.It is terrible to see my father struggle to get her to talk,say something,when she doesnt have the energy.The other day,I recalled how my mother used to visit a woman named Mrs.Demopolis,a Greek immigrant,who made the best baklava（果仁饼）!She gave lessons on baking hem to my mother.Also,my mom used to bake baklava often for a time and that was absolute pleasure.As I spoke of this over the phone,my silent mom cheered up and said how much shed like o have one again.Now,they live in Florida and I like in Wales,UK with my husband and children,so I cant go and bring her some baklava or even make some in her kitchen.But what I did suggest was that my father or sister should buy some baklava at a Greek Restaurant and I should do she same,and wouldnt it be fun to eat our baklava at exactly the same time and so,be together sharing the moment and the pleasure?Both parents loved the idea and we decided to do it.It was lovely to hear a little happiness in her voice.Tow days later we both had our baklava and shared the experience.It meant a lot to my parents,and to me,to do this.My mother said she wants to do this again,maybe with another food or even baklava again!

That is why a leadership institution such as the United States Military Academy teaches its officers to become effective followers first.l Work with excellence.No one respects and follows mediocrity（平庸）. Leaders who earn the right to lead give their all to what they do. They bring into play not only their skills and talents, but also great passion and hard work. 44_l Give your power away.What makes leadership so special is that you become a better leader by sharing whatever power you have, not by saving it all for yourself. 45_ If you use your power to empower others, your leadership will extend far beyond your grasp.
