walk through the park today, i met a friend i hadnt seen for ages. she stared at me curiously. “you have kept this umbrella for years; its old and out of date. i wonder why you keep it and take it wherever you go.” i smiled, “it means a great deal to me.” i simply gave her my shortest answer. honestly speaking, i, either, could not understand the reason why i kept it.then all of a sudden, fallen leaves darkened my eyes with a strong wind. i grabbed the umbrella instinctively. the rain poured down. thanks to my umbrella, i didnt get wet at all.“why have i kept it for so long?” i asked myself, staring at my umbrella. i couldnt remember when and where i bought it, for im always tired and lazy to answer questions. it could protect me from the heavy rain, i told myself eventually. looking at the people rushing through the street, i felt safe. this might be another reason.it is always so. we know a thunderstorm comes unexpectedly and goes without a warning. the sky cleared up. the sun shone brightly. just as usual, i seized the umbrella with my left hand. still theres water dropping down. i walked among the noisy crowd and listened to what they were murmuring in their heart. “today i will ask for a rise, or ill leave this company.” good luck to you, i smiled to him. “ill manage to make you live forever.” a little boy held a pet dog close to him. “shell be all right, because she is blessed.” i heard angels singing in this city.the moment my fingertips touched the umbrella, i felt its dry, and its warm. soon it became hot. i held it up to avoid harmful sunshine. do i need a reason to explain why? maybe i should think about it. i need my umbrella when it is sunny as well as when it is rainy.21.which of the following words best describes the author?a.

have “enough time” to do all their schoolwork. my reply is often brief you have as much time as the president. i usually carry on a bit about there being 24 hours per day for everyone, and suggest that “not enough time” is not an acceptable explanation of not getting something done.once in graduate school, i tried to justify myself to one of my professors by saying that i was working. his answer to me was, “thats irrelevant. whats important is the quality of your work.” since then i have had time to reflect on the “hard worker” dodge(伎俩), and i have come to some conclusions all relevant to the issue of how much time we have.if you look at the matter analytically, you can identify two parts of the problem. there is, of course, the matter of “time”, which we can think of as fixed. then there is the issue of “work” during that time, which can vary in intensity. but, as my professor suggested, its not diligence but the quality of the product that is important.that led me to a new idea, the quality of work. that concept is perhaps best explained by a sign i once saw on the wall in someones office dont work harder but work smarter! theres a lot of sense in that idea.if you cant get more time, and few of us can, the only solution is to improve the quality of work. that means thinking of ways of getting more out of the same time than we might otherwise get. that should lead us to an analysis of our work habits. since “work” for students usually means “homework”, the expression “work habits” should be read as “learning habits”.then, as a smart student, you will seek to improve those skills that you use in study, chiefly reading and writing. if you learn to read better and write better, there are big benefits that pay off across the board in all your studies.32. from the passage, we know that the author is _.a. a poetb. an educatorc. an editord. a director33. we can infer from the first two paragraph that we students _.a. have enough timeb. can meet the presidentc. get something done welld. should accept the explanation34. the underlined sentence in paragraph 2 means _.a. that is impossibleb. that is not importantc. that is unbearabled. that is not acceptable35. the main purpose of writing the passage is to give _.a. informationb. encouragementc. criticismd. advice【答案】32b33a34b35. d【解析】试题分析：作者从时间问题入手，建议学生们要注重学习技巧和学习效率。32.b细节推理题。根据开头my students和once in graduate school, i tried to justify myself to one of my professors by saying that i was working.可知作者的职业是教育工作者，故选b.33.a推理判断题。根据前两段内容you have as much time as the president.和that “not enough time” is not an acceptable explanation可知学生们有时间，有足够的时间。故选a.34.b句意猜测题。句意：你是不相干的，重要的是工作的质量。此处指教授认为时间不重要，重要的是质量。故选b.35.d推理判断题。作者写这篇文章的目的是给学生们提建议：要注重学习技巧和学习效率。故选d.考点：考查文化教育类短文阅读。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。does failure really exist ?if you believe you have failed, then you have. if you believe you dont have the ability to succeed, then you dont. 36 the moment you decide to give up or stop working toward your goals, failure is born. 37 most people give themselves an out without even realizing it. they are willing to work hard on reaching their goals, but only until the going gets too rough or their energy dies down. dont do that! 38 never quit, never admit failure, and never lose heart.dont believe in a clear finish line for goals. its a good idea to set a general timeline, but remember that something will be beyond your control. 39 if you lock yourself into a given timeline, you might make yourself feel like a failure! instead, get a general idea of when youd like your goal to be completed. then take it one day at a time and focus on making progress instead of reaching the finish line in as little time as possible. be sure that you dont see difficulties as failures. difficulties mean only one thing: its not time for your goal to be completed yet. thats it! it doesnt mean you failed; it doesnt mean youre weak; it doesnt mean youll never achieve your goals. 40 youve got to keep moving forward and find a way over, around, or through the difficulties. a. never give up on yourself. b. failure only exists in your own mind! c. thats exactly how failure makes us feel. d. it simply means you have not done enough yet. e. you can never say exactly when your goal will be reached. f. instead, make up your mind to make your goal happen, no matter what! g. work hard towards your goal, and you will be likely to get good results.【答案】36.b37.a38.f39.e40.d【解析】试题分析：失败是人生成长的必然经历，文章告诉我们怎样看待失败、怎样战胜失败。36.b考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。上句说：你认为失败了你就失败了，你认为没有能力成功你就没有。b项：失败仅存在于你的想法。与上句连接，故选b.37.a考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。本段主要讲许多人遇到困难或精力用尽时会放弃，想成功一定不要放弃。此处选标题a项：自己不要放弃，能概括本段意思，故选a.38.f考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。本段主要讲许多人遇到困难或精力用尽时会放弃，想成功一定不要放弃。上句是：不要那样做；下句是：不要放弃、不要承认失败、不要失去信心。f项“相反，下定决心去实现目标，不管发生什么”连接上下，故选f.39.e考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。本段主要讲不要相信目标清晰地终止线。可以制订一个计划，但事物在发展结果有不可预知性，e项“你永远不能准确说出你的目标何时实现”符合本段意思，故选e.40.d考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。本段主要讲确保不要把困难看成失败，上句：困难并不意味着你失败了，也不意味着你虚弱你永远不能实现目标。d项“它只意味着你做的还不够”承上启下，故选d.考点：考查信息匹配。第三部分
