cooperating第三部分：阅读理解（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。awhen you make a mistake, big or small, cherish it like its the most precious thing in the world. because in some ways, it is.most of us feel bad when we make mistakes, beat ourselves up about it, feel like failures, get mad at ourselves.and thats only natural: most of us have been taught from a young age that mistakes are bad, that we should try to avoid mistakes. weve been scolded when we make mistakesat home, school and work. maybe not always, but probably enough times to make feeling bad about mistakes an unconscious reaction.yet without mistakes, we could not learn or grow. if you think about it that way, mistakes should be cherished and celebrated for being one of the most amazing things in the world: they make learning possible; they make growth and improvement possible.by trial and errortrying things, making mistakes, and learning from those mistakeswe have figured out how to make electric light, to paint the ceiling of the sistine chapel, to fly.mistakes make walking possible for the smallest toddler, make speech possible, make works of genius possible.think about how we learn: we dont just consume information about something and instantly know it or know how to do it. you dont just read about painting, or writing, or computer programming, or baking, or playing the piano, and know how to do them right away. instead, you get information about something, from reading or from another person or from observing, then you make mistakes and repeat, making mistakes, learning from those mistakes, until youve pretty much learned how to do something. thats how we learn as babies and toddlers, and how we learn as adults. mistakes are how we learn to do something newbecause if you succeed at something, its probably something you already knew how to do. you havent really grown much from that successat most its the last step on your journey, not the whole journey. most of the journey was made up of mistakes, if its a good journey.so if you value learning, if you value growing and improving, then you should value mistakes. they are amazing things that make a world of brilliance possible.56. why do most of us feel bad about making mistakes? a. because mistakes make us suffer a lot. b. because its a natural part in our life. c. because weve been taught so from a young age. d. because mistakes have ruined many peoples careers.57. according to the passage, what is the right attitude to mistakes? a. we should try to avoid making mistakes. b. we should owe great inventions mainly to mistakes. c. we should treat mistakes as good chances to learn. d. we should make feeling bad about mistakes an unconscious reaction.58. the underlined word “toddler” in paragraph 6 probably means . a. a small child learning to walk b. a kindergarten child learning to draw c. a primary pupil learning to read d. a school teenager learning to write59. we can learn from the passage that . a. most of us can really grow from success b. growing and improving are based on mistakes c. we learn to make mistakes by trial and error d. we read about something and know how to do it right awaybif you ask me for my biggest impression of what americas like over the last three years, id say it is how rich and diverse the student life is. for example, at princeton, we have more than 100 student organizations planning all kinds of campus activitiesfrom sports, band dancing to juggling and acting to translation, design, publishing, volunteering and camping. you name it.during my freshman year, i tried a lot of activities, from dancing to design to newspapers. then i found my passion in the environment and volunteerism. i joined greening princeton and student volunteer council. a year later, id become the publicity chair and project coordinator (协调员) of these two clubs.student activities give us a chance to do things we care about and are good at. if we have a good idea, we can propose it at a meeting, find interested people to form a team, and then apply for funding from the school. we have full control of the project and the ability to make our ideas happen. for example, i came up with the idea of dining and was supported by my club greening princeton. i wrote a proposal, presented it in front of the college master, and communicated with the head of dining services. after a few follow-ups, this project was carried out.one other benefit of extra curricular (课外的) activities is the friendship that comes with them. once you become part of a group, it is much easier to adjust to college life. you realize you are not alone. this will most likely increase your study efficiency and in turn help your academics. my headmaster once told me, “stand on your tiptoes.” in that way, we not only have a better view of life, but will also put out our comfort zone. getting involved in extra curricular activities has given me the opportunity to stand on my tiptoes.make yourself try new things and stick to the things that matter to you. this is one piece of advice i have. remember, college is a color palette. you are the artist who can add your own colors. 60. the author mentions one hundred student organizations to show . a. students are free to learn their major b. student activities are colorful there c. each organization belongs to a college d. students have to join in one of them61. which of the following is true according to the passage? a. students can do what they care about and are good at in class.b. taking part in the activities after class has three advantages.c. students can balance their college life with these activities.d. each of the students has to take part in more than two items.62. the purpose of the passage is to . a. show off the author b. advertise the school c. say something interesting d. introduce college lifeca new study warns that about thirty percent of the worlds people may not have enough water by the year 2025.a private american organization called population action international did the new study. it says more than 335 million people lack enough water now. the people live in 28 countries. most of the countries are in africa or the middle east.p-a-i researcher robert engelman says by the year 2025, about 3,000 million people may lack water. at least 18 more countries are expected to have severe water problems. the demand for water keeps increasing. yet the amount of water on the earth stays the same.mr. engelman says the population in countries that lack water is growing faster than in other parts of the world. he says population growth in these countries will continue to increase.the report says lack of water in the future may result in several problems. it may increase health problems. lack of water often means drinking water is not safe. mr engelman says there are problems all over the world because of diseases, such as cholera, which are carried in water. lack of water may also result in more international conflict. countries may have to compete for water in the future. some countries now get sixty percent of their fresh water from other countries. this is true of egypt, the netherlands, cambodia, syria, sudan, and iraq. and the report says lack of water would affect the ability of developing to improve their economies. this is because new industries often need a large amount of water when they are beginning.the population action international study gives several solutions to the water problem. one way, it says, is to find ways to use water for more than one purpose. another way is to teach people to be careful not to waste water. a third way is to use less water of agriculture.the report also says long-term solutions to the water problem must include controls on population growth. it says countries cannot provide clean water unless they slow population growth by limiting the number of children people have. 63. the first four paragraphs mainly tell us . a. the fact of the global lack of water b. the importance of water resources c. the seriousness of water shortage d. the study of the global water condition64. which of the following
